:: Available only to the Lane Hacker Professorship :: Operation Relentlessness has failed. Our team successfully intercepted Isabelle Engler while she was moving to Santa Verna. However, contrary to National Council's reports, the hybrid wasn't alone and instead was escorted by three elite fighters. These fighters engaged my team while I successfully slipped through and tried to take down the heavily armored vessel myself without additional firepower. Initially it attempted to engage its jump drives but after a series of successful disruptions I forced it to prevent such attempts. However that was enough. The hybrid's ship somehow had enough fuel to maintain enough speed and successfully make it to Santa Verna. This is when I found out why, as a National Council transport briefly decloaked in front of my scanners. The transport was equipped with a cloaking device, its unique short-range radiowave emissions were heard during the entire engagement. My team also failed to defeat all the Oracle fighters even though they managed to buy me enough time, so under the cover of a cloaking device, I tractored their pods before safely escaping into Omicron Beta. Due to the mission's failure, we have lost the element of surprise and the chance to capture a living hybrid. The Oracles now know we are after them and we were behind the attacks on their agents in Liberty. This was our biggest lead and the Cult is expected to further reinforce their defences thus making any new progress highly unlikely. However we also learned that betrayal came from within National Council's ranks which lured us into a trap that barely allowed us to escape with our lives. It is certain that the leak within NC's leadership came from Enma Loyola an infectee which the Professorship successfully demanded to step down. This by no means ensures that the National Council is clean and I would urge caution when we deal with them for any matters revolving around the alien threat.

Dear colleagues,

I am in the very pleasant position to announce the following promotions:

• • Mr Nick Nack to the rank of Infiltrator.
  • Ms Niall Dunne to the rank of Interruptor.

Furthermore, I have some more things to report during my latest activities. I was venturing in Kusari when a [KSP] officer named Tanaka started stalking me. Feeling confident for my abilities, I voluntarily let him intercept my ship in Honshu. He then tried to interrogate me but quickly the roles reversed and he was interrogated about his family and in which side his allegiance truly belonged. I even presented him my superior skills when a passing transport voluntarily donated credits even though I did not force any extortion -- all of this taking place right in front of the police officer. In the end, despite being fully aware that he was in the presense of one of the most wanted men in Sirius, he escorted me back to Liberty which was where I was heading to in the first place. That didn't go exactly according to his plans however. I ambushed his ship near Deshima and successfully destroyed the little, unworthy man. [①②]

Back in California, an extremely rare target showed up in our scanners. Official Kruger transport was doing business in Liberty. Of course we jumped into the opportunity as the target had no idea of our tactics and indeed it easily fell in our trap. It was carrying premium scrap and it was cooperative. I told the captain of KMS-Aalen to relay a message to their leadership which was about reminding them that the Lane Hackers own this place around. He then left the area after sending me 4 500 000 SC which was shared among my colleagues. About a week later, in the same location I intercepted an Ageira~ transport fully loaded with gold ore. A very good hunt. A FL-ER ship arrved and claimed that he was escorting the Ageira transport and a few moments later he engaged my heavy bomber preventing me from delivering justice to the corporate flunky. I didn't leave it there of course. A few hours later, I intercepted another FL-ER transport which I persuaded to hand over 45 000 000 SC as compensation for my losses. Even though this settled the matter, I have not received an apology from this unremarkable Private Kirk or have been convinced by the FL-ER that such practices won't be repeated. Subsequently all operatives are instructed to continue the harassing all FL-ER assets within our territory. [①②③④⑤⑥⑦]
