LH / CR / IMG - Ceasefire Negotiations, Barrier Gate, Coronado

[Wolfgang Weisen]

Wolfgang Weisen, the highest ranking Hacker after Nicole Hunter remained silent after the initial greetings. Due to his key position in the Logistics department of the Lane Hackers he knew better than almost anyone the needs, the profits and weaknesses of the Hacker smuggling fleet.

The whole process of these negotiations with their sterility and endless formalities was extremely boring to him as it reminded him of the life he escaped from, a life working for Interspace Commerce. Thus Wolfgang frequently gazed at Sarah O'Reily, another beautiful specimen from the IMG.

Yet he had to remain sharp and focused for he had secret instructions not by Nicole, but from another Professor...


"Mr Corvin, there is one major detail which we need you to clarify before the Professor Provocateur considers your terms."


The Deceiver-ranked Hacker said and paused for a moment so that the attention was turned back on him.


"As you are well-aware, the corporate lobbies of Liberty in their attempt to amass as many profits as possible, have created a system which produces unemployment, disenfranchised communities warped into a poverty spiral from which you cannot escape.

The Lane Hackers reach out to these communities and find those interested to work outside the House which brought them so much suffering. And we sometimes transport them to their new employers. These people, with no actual possessions show up as "Slaves" in your Ageira-made cargo scanners. In reality the Lane Hackers are fundamentally against slavery... so you understand Minister that we are unwilling to stop our humanitarian missions simply because of your... technical limitations.

Instead I propose to focus our efforts on stopping Nox. It is a dangerous substance with no positive effects."
