I am in the very pleasant position to announce the following promotions:
• Mr Nick Nack is being promoted to Deceiver rank.
• Mr Chang successfully completed his initiation and joins the Interruptor ranks.
• Mr Marquis who distinguished himself by providing us with some wonderful pictures of burning Ageira ships, he is also one of our new Interruptors.
• Mr Le.Gérant who distinguished himself and is promoted for being the only Initiate after a long time to not lose a single ship during his missions.
• Ms Miranda Frost is the newest Interruptor, a woman who demonstrated very early her skills in leadership and ouwitting her corporate targets.
With the release of LHX7-F4S "Vindicator" Very Heavy Fighter, the following chart is now active and in full and immediate effect. Please make yourselves familiar with it.
In addition, I have a report to submit which accounts of a number of events going all the way back to the previous summer. So let's begin.
The misguided called Pirate Reapers decided it was a good idea to smuggle in our turf. So I intercepted the transport, took all his cargo of Nanocapacitors which then called for a transport to move the liberated cargo to Cochrane Depot to be used by worthy men and women. Some time later I had an interesting meeting with a TAZ ship in California. Those weirdos are rather harmless and insignificant, they are to be left alone. [①②③④⑤]
Moving on, our negotiations with the latest Brigand group were successful. These steady and constant diplomatic successes with the various Brigand groups are very profitable for our organization. Interruptor Red Grant once again proved his worth.
Next month I moved to New Tokyo when I received intel that an IND flunky was about to enter the system. So I tracked him down and I successfully intercepted the cancerous little man. He immediately started squeezing and saying incomprohensible things, so I started firing Nova torpedoes on his ship. Most of the torpedoes hit him, each one taking a portion of his ship. In the end, when we reached New Tokyo's orbit, he was finally left alone with a critically damaged hull and no thruster since his Farmer Alliance sellswords arrived to help him. What a pity. While I was heading back, in Shikoku, I also encountered the AFC President carrying significant quantities of Nox. Not too long afterwards an official GMG transport arrived which was successfully extorted by myself and XTF Tachyon. [①②③④⑤⑥]
I received reports of an Interspace Commerce transport heading to Bretonia with fuel so I decided to intercept him behind the front lines, in Tau-31 system. The captain of IC|Denver actually proved to be very cooperative so I didn't have him drop his entire cargo, only a portion of it. Then our friendly smuggler, Mr Handlowiec came by and tractored in the floating cargo. In Shikoku I intercepted an official Core transport carrying base construction materials. The captain identified herself as Nova Hawken. In the beginning I attempted to sway her allegiance to the Core with my superior vocabulary and legendary persuasion. However it proved only partially successful as she was extremely loyal, however she accepted some cardamine as a gift. She was also extorted for more than 2 million credits. Back in Bretonia, I intercepted IC|Richmond in the lane to Planet New London. I was soon assisted by LH~Mactan.Interruptor. Together we mania-interrogated the pilot who in the beginning attempted to tell us he is the CEO of Interspace Commerce, Alan Johnson. After we laughed at his face he told us the entire leadership of the newly-restructured IC|. He was then allowed to go after suffering a series of explosions all over his luxurious ship. I am not sure he even made it to Planet New London. What's interesting is that the Interspace Commerce Vice President, the second most powerful man in Sirius, is Jason Kelly, the former boss of OSI. We knew those OSI weasels were just hiding their corporate cartel behind the Zoner flag, but with the latest "promotion" of their CEO, our patience is at an end. From this point on, OSI is to be treated as every other corporate target. [①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⑩⑪⑫⑬⑭⑮⑯]
The extortion successes in Shikoku continued with T&T boss and one of his recruits being robbed by myself and Ms Freudenstein. As always, the T&T boss put on his mask and he played the victim. But his act did not fool us and the payment was shortly afterwards sent to the Interruptor. Later on, I was training Mr Sun Liang-tan on the 'Fishing' technique and he was wonderfully successful. He pretended to be a client who wanted a full cargo hold of the expensive Junyo Fire Pearls while I was waiting between Deshima and Junyo. The heavily armored Republican was intercepted and paid the money. A few moments later he was told that he was scammed and that there was no client who was going to purchase his pearls. I can't imagine what the Rheinlander did afterwards. Hopefully he commited suicide by crashing in Junyo's atmosphere and sparing us of his faulty and inferior DNA. [①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧]
In Texas I encountered a Pitbull belonging to the Red Hessian Army. I asked it to halt for a few moments. In the ensuing conversation the captain revealed to be Brigadegeneral Paul Stein. And that was an excellent opportunity to sway the hotheaded RHA leader to our side and inform him of the multiple VWA infractions. In turn he also revealed to me some interesting points. I think you will find the conversation we two had equally interesting. [①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⑩⑪⑫⑬⑭⑮⑯⑰⑱]
The next victim of our new "Fishing" technique was none other than OSI itself. Interruptor Liang-tan lured a transport by asking the captain to bring enough Kyushu Rice for a wedding held in Pueblo (!) enough to feed the entire station. What a moron would believe that weddings are held onboard an ultra-high security facility or a wedding would require such massive quantities of rice. Yet the trick worked and I hit the OSI transport as he was heading to Pueblo. The captain was even less intelligent than we initially thought since he actually told us that he is supplying Ageira with that rice! He quickly dropped all his rice and sent his "Pueblo client" a message infoming him of what happened. Mr Liang-tan had the pleasure of replying to the message and generating even more fun. As for the cargo, we needed it in order to replenish Leiden's stockpiles considering the heavy influx of Kusarian visitors that our station receives. So I contacted Congressman McArthur who moved the cargo to Leiden for a modest fee. He was so pleased from our deal that he sent me a follow-up message afterwards. A few hours later an OSC- transport was extorted as well. All the latest events with the Bundschuh are well-documented. Here I would only wish to archive the successful interception of a VWA transport which participated in the effort to economically and politically exploit the humanitarian crisis in Planet Nuremberg. It was allowed to continue its original route after giving us 5 million credits. [①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⑩⑪⑫⑬⑭]
It was requested to provide my first encounter with the Battlegroup Auxesia's only noteworthy members. It was a random encounter in Omega-3 system. This is where I learned the name of the Core defector, Ms Raven. Her battlecruiser was in Bretonian-controlled space. Most likely they had already acquired permission from Her Majesty's Corrupt Government. I also met Joshua Hunt there. He was leading the Aegis Initiate back then, before it merged with Auxesia, and he told about Ms Raven. I also provided him with secret information about Geoff Enfield of the BDM and he rewarded me with the astonishing amount of 50 million credits. That is the reason why Mr Hunt was in our VIP list, until recently. A few days later in California I pulled another great stunt by evading four hostiles and hitting a transport under their nose, Sombra Hookier, for 5 million credits. Eventually the hostiles found me and I lured them to Montezuma where I had laid a trap. In the ensuing fight the Bounty Hunters were annihilated, I claimed one of the kills. A week later I intercepted a transport belonging to Detroit Munitions, in Manchester system. In the ensuing discussion, I quickly realized that the DM captain was not particularly fond of Ageira. So I used it in my advantage and persuaded him to secretly work for us, for the right reward. I demanded 5 million credits, which would be reimburshed to him by his company afterwards and in return he would send me information about Ageira. ID scans, anything. And for his assistance he'd anonymously receive his 5 millions back, in a private account. It was a win/win scenario for both of us. He never sent me a message so I assume he got scared in the end. It matters not, I still made more money than I would have originally asked for. [①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⑩⑪⑫⑬]
Last April, I was operating in California with Mr Largo and Ms Grubozaboyschikov. I intercepted a ship belonging to DSEA which I eventually destroyed after it proved to be uncooperative. Another transport was destroyed by the Deceiver as well. We were about to abandon and destroy the cargo but fortunately we managed to contact the Congress which, even though it took them some time to respond, they arrived and safely repossessed the cargo. That day was particularly productive. A few days later, I intercepted an OSI transport in Colorado filled with Gold Ore. I took a portion of the corporate flunky's cargo which I used it as the payment for the ALG. Finally I also met near Poena the would-be defectors from the Core. They seeked our help to secure their comms, which I did after they paid for my services. [①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨]
A month later I received intel of a Colonial transport heading to Liberty with unusual cargo. My sources were correct as I successfully managed to intercept the Atlas-class vessel and started questioning him. He quickly admitted everything I wanted him to say but reinforcements raced across southern Liberty in order to save the transport. My teammate however was able to successfully destroy both the 5th and another CR| pilot who came to the transport's rescue. Then the Colonial smuggler did the unthinkable; he engaged me in single combat. As a result his ship was destroyed and about a thousand Rheinlanders perished as a result of it. The remaining were tractored in my cargo hold. Upon arriving in Dawson, all the captured Rheinlanders were questioned, some Bundschuh-affiliated refugees who possessed meaningful intel were separated and moved to Leiden's interrogator. Simultaneously I contacted the Colonials since all these men, women and children heavily strained our logistics capacities and in case CR had some sense and wanted to somehow salvage the situation. However they rejected my offer as they unsurprisingly wanted to play it tough and instead used their IMG buddies to clean up their mess. That didn't work. Instead we spoke to BDM and secured an important hardware purchase in return of the refugees and all the CR intel. They also received a small intel gift from Mr Marquis. The negotiations were primarily conducted by Mr Weisen however I am not pleased with his overall performance. [①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⑩⑪⑫⑬⑭⑮⑯⑰]
As traffic continued to increase between the Liberty - Rheinland border, I focused my efforts there on the unsuspected transports. In Hamburg I intercepted an Interspace Commerce liner carrying their volturous delegates. I Intimidated the captain and his cancerous passengers, before letting them go after paying a hefty amount of credits. Furthermore, about two months we intercepted an official Gateway transport between California and Cortez. Not too long afterwards Hellfire Legion showed up in huge numbers trying to save their corporate masters however they came too late. The Gateway transport was destroyed and then I made sure Infiltrator Trigger and Initiate Lefabrve got to safety before I successfully escaped from the misguided LN defectors. Finally, few weeks ago my men destroyed an Ageira transport, close to Pueblo. I came in, tractored their freshly-constructed Docking Ring parts and handed them to the R&D in Mactan which will be responsible for unlocking the white boxes which protect Ageira's product.
