I will start from more relevant information, and that is - my entry towards completion of Manipulation criteria. The targeted vessel was a "Honey.Kisu", a Kruger Minerals Stork hauling Copper Ore. After the interrogation, the subject was forced to drop a certain amount of cargo, which was redirected to our Rogue allies. After the interrogation, I have made my way towards Kansas in order to halt any mining operations on the field. Several miners were found and instructed to abort their operation and leave the site.
Mr.Blackfriar: Halt your vessel. Honey.Kisu: I am standing still. No worries. Mr.Blackfriar: Another corporate scum pillaging Liberty's treasures for their greed. Honey.Kisu: That's some... harsh words, sir. Mr.Blackfriar: Here's a deal. You answer me few questions and you just might survive this enounter. Mr.Blackfriar: Got it, dog? Honey.Kisu: Doesn't feels like i have a choice. Mr.Blackfriar: What is your name, trader? Honey.Kisu: Valerie. Mr.Blackfriar: Full name. Mr.Blackfriar: Who do you work for? Honey.Kisu: It is a full name... Honey.Kisu: I am a selfish person, working for charity. Mr.Blackfriar: You got no surname? What kind of bastard are you, Rheinlander? Mr.Blackfriar: I repeat, who do you work for? Honey.Kisu: Kruger Minerals. Mr.Blackfriar: And what is the reason behind your visit to Liberty? Mr.Blackfriar: Cooperation with treacherous Deep Space Engineering, I guess? Honey.Kisu: Supplying Denver with the Ore you might find in my hold. Mr.Blackfriar: So, supplying the Liberty government. I find it rather troublesome. Honey.Kisu: I never signed any contracts with DSE. Mr.Blackfriar: Then, from whom did this ore come? Mr.Blackfriar: Deep Space holds the monopoly on Kansas mining. Mr.Blackfriar: Or am I mistaken? Honey.Kisu: An independent miner assisted me in obtaining those. Mr.Blackfriar: Choosing independent miners over Deep Space? Seems you got some morals, afterall. Honey.Kisu: Rather, no respect towards corporate office rats. Mr.Blackfriar: What is the reason behind this, trader? Why do you supply Libertonian government? Honey.Kisu: I've agreed for this only when they allowed me to keep 70% of the profits. Honey.Kisu: I don't really know, and don't really care where this ore goes. Mr.Blackfriar: I expected some rivalty between the Deep Space and Kruger, good. Good. Mr.Blackfriar: So, you're just another of those money-hungry corporate scroundels? Mr.Blackfriar: So sad. Honey.Kisu: Most of the money distributed go to my family, some is spent for charity initiatives... Mr.Blackfriar: Do you understand your life is worthless to the corporation you're working with? Honey.Kisu: That's no big suprise. Mr.Blackfriar: It would be better for you if you leave them to suffer. Go Freelance. Mr.Blackfriar: Let them rot. Mr.Blackfriar: Very well. I am satisfied with your answers. Mr.Blackfriar: One last thing. Honey.Kisu: I think i will end up in Freelancing one day. So far... they are paying good for the ore contracts. Mr.Blackfriar: I cannot allow this amount of ore to pass trough. Mr.Blackfriar: You will drop 1000 units of your ore. Honey.Kisu: As mentioned - here it goes. Mr.Blackfriar: Good. Now, leave.
Also, I am reporting of several encounters throughout the Liberty. My first target was a Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing transport vessel under the name "Red-Dwarf". Upon ordering him to halt, he decided to thrust forward and call for help via system-wide communication array. His cry was answered by a Hellfire Legion snubcraft and Liberty Navy battlecruiser. The trader swiftly met his demise despite their attempts to disrupt me.
My next target of opportunity was a Universal Shipping transport carrying Copper Ore, codenamed "Universe|K.Shine". The vessel followed my instructions accordingly and dropped 2,000 units of previously mentioned cargo. As there was no inner circle transports available at the moment, I have contacted a member of Battlegroup Harmony to redirect the cargo to Marshall Station for further processing.
After deciding to halt traffic throughout the Pennsylvania gate , I have found my third victim. The Freelancer trader was asked a small sum of 100,000 credits, but he decided that his life is worth even less. He was quickly disposed of.
Another trader made a similar decision. Despite my warnings, he decided to silently thrust away. He was caught few moments later and disposed accordingly. The individual was piloting a Serenity-class transport with Freelancer identification.
My last catch was a juicy one, a Deep Space Engineering affiliated vessel. He was hauling 5,000 units of Copper ore. He complied to my demands and transferred 4,000,000 Universal Sirius credits to my Neutral-Net account.
Also, I have recently contacted Professors about acquisition of state-of-the-art Cloak technology. According to the recommendation of both Professors Yoshida and Scorpius, I have contacted Junker Marauders about this delicate matter. My efforts have proven successful; The representative of Junker Marauders, Cash Ivankov has delivered me two pieces of this marvelous technology, which currently are equipped on both my fighter and bomber vessels. The device has proven exceptionally useful in many uses on the field, especially at espionage.
Addendum:
Most recent actions have resulted in extortion of a Deep Space Engineering vessel code-named "Sulla". The rat was halted and after a small conversation he decided that his life is worth 3,000,000 universal sirius credits. Combining this report with ones previously mentioned - regarding vessels code-named "Universe|K.Shine" and "DSE|Horrid.Henry|", I have fulfilled the quota to complete Resourcefulness promotion criteria. Evidences of my most recent interaction are attached to the report.
