For tutorial purposes and per direct professorship request I report here prerequisites of the Master Assassin proficiency level.

INTIMIDATION: I have successfully hacked my profile in Liberty Security Force network.

DEVIOUSNESS: Following are the logs containing assassinations augmented through the use of electronic warfare.

Electronic Warfare

18:56:03 =LSF=Susan.Hills: Pilot, are you alive? Somehow I don't think you're up to be taken into custody. But seems your ship is powered down, isn't it? I guess it's time to call some lifter to pick you up.
18:57:26 LH~A~Norman.Bates: *opening connection socket via lane update process*
18:57:26 =LSF=Susan.Hills: Hm, looks like you're actually able to move... *Waits.*

19:01:57 LH~A~Norman.Bates: *laughs*
19:02:26 =LSF=Susan.Hills: :Antivirus Defender-X24 detected unusual activities within ship systems and neutralized them for now.:
19:02:42 =LSF=Susan.Hills: C'mon, get over here! I can't be private for whole my life... *Sighs*
19:03:28 =LSF=Susan.Hills: Well, this is it... You know the usual formula.
9:03:31 LH~A~Norman.Bates: * You receive a transmission burst showing bounty on you and realize that a nearby ship is powering up its weapons. *

17:22:26 =LSF=Adrienne.Perry.: You just don't know the meaning of restricted area do you.
17:22:47 LH~A~Norman.Bates: What does "restricted" mean?
17:23:08 =LSF=Adrienne.Perry.: Well, in your language, it would be the equivalent of blocking a neural net site.
17:23:19 LH~A~Norman.Bates: I believe that in LSF dictionary restricted simply means poorely secured.
17:23:59 =LSF=Adrienne.Perry.: Well, the consequences will be severe if you stay here any longer, Hackers. You're really going to regret staying here, the last guy who was here... he doesn't exist anymore, but of course, thats off the record.
17:24:14 LH~A~Norman.Bates: Target arrived from Alaska. It is a possibility it has some usefull data. If you open all connection sockets of your ship and allow us download your data, we will let you go.
17:25:41 =LSF=Adrienne.Perry.: I'll let you download half a billion virus's, then we got a deal.
17:26:32 LH~A~Norman.Bates: Mr Chigurh, it's pointless.

17:27:45 LH~A~Norman.Bates: *boosting signal dimmer*
17:27:49 =LSF=Adrienne.Perry.: Why are you making my ship fly in a circle? That doesn't even achieve anything! Finally (stops typing) Regaining controls...
17:28:21 LH~A~Norman.Bates: *you notice the weapons are locked on you and armed*
17:28:35 =LSF=Lisa:Lisbon: Hell, I'm losing the engine... Ugh... got it back...
17:28:42 =LSF=Adrienne.Perry.: Right, dropping the hammer, take them down Agent Lisbon!
17:29:10 LH~A~Norman.Bates: *laughs*
17:29:13 =LSF=Lisa:Lisbon: Let's take them down, before they burn my computer and files. Weapons hot engaging!

CLANDESTINITY: I have alone completed assignments 52, 53 and 59. I have contributed to completion of assignments 51, 55, 56 and 57.

MERCILESSNESS: Up until now I have filed over 35 regular assassination reports regarding almost 100 kills from which over half concerns primary targets. Relevant data can be found in the following resource.

SUPERIORITY: In the course of assignment 52 I have alone attacked a group of five hostile vessels and scored three subsequent kills before breaking off and returning to safety. During standard operations many times I have attacked wings of at least two hostile vessels and destroyed them alone, for example two Xeno Alliance fighters, two Xeno Alliance bombers or three Xeno Alliance fighters just to not mention incidents with weakened Liberty Navy.

SURVIVABILITY: Besides aforementioned situations during mission 52 four days later I have attacked a convoy and managed to destroy two vessels before being surrounded by approximately 6 cruiser class vessels and 4 additional drones. I managed to escape the pursuit and set course to Leiden Base.
