Report on recent Xeno Alliance encounters

Log #1 - 826-03-10
First encounter involved a Xeno bomber, callsign Sidewinder. The bomber accompanied the Hellfire Legion 'Arbiter' class battleship Annihilation to California and offered assistance in the destruction of Liberty Navy forces present in the system. Myself and two passing Rogues had found ourselves accosted by Navy forces at Planet Mojave and were attacked by four enemy snubcraft and a single gunboat. Two enemy craft were neutralized by myself and the Xeno and a third fled the scene while LNS-Tijuana was occupied with the Rogue gunboat. On the Tijuana's return the captain of the Annihilation bade them leave the area, which they did.

Apparently, the captain was not truly deterred by the battleship's threats and returned shortly afterwards at the helm of a siege cruiser - regrettably, they were able to knock my ship out of action with a surprise attack.

Encounter number two took place within range of Buffalo Base. Contact was made with alliance vessels Night and Sonora and the pilots' language suggested aggressive intent. However, Sonora, a Grizzly class freighter, left the scene after sustaining damage from one of Buffalo's patrols and the remaining Eagle was quickly dispatched by an accompanying Lane Hacker affiliate when provoked.

[12.03.2019 00:23:50] XA-"Night": Well well. I got a boogie on my scanner.

[12.03.2019 00:23:58] LH~Injection: That's not what I was expecting to see.

[12.03.2019 00:24:01] XA-Sonora: I see it too.

[12.03.2019 00:24:14] XA-Sonora: What were you expecting then, hm?

[12.03.2019 00:24:27] LH~Injection: Rogues out here, for the most part.

[12.03.2019 00:25:01] XA-"Night": Another one closing in fast.

[12.03.2019 00:25:12] XA-Sonora: Another Hacker..

[12.03.2019 00:25:21] Flashback: There are 6 more behind me

[12.03.2019 00:25:37] LH~Injection: It's not every day the Xeno Alliance ventures into the badlands.

[12.03.2019 00:25:43] LH~Injection: To what do we owe the pleasure?

[12.03.2019 00:26:01] XA-"Night": Tell us, Hackers, what are you up to these days?

[12.03.2019 00:26:12] Flashback: A bit of this and bit of that

[12.03.2019 00:26:15] Flashback: How about you?

[12.03.2019 00:26:33] LH~Injection: Plots and schemes beyond your comprehension.

[12.03.2019 00:26:41] XA-Sonora: As usual..

[12.03.2019 00:27:13] LH~Injection: Piece by piece our goals are achieved.

[12.03.2019 00:28:14] XA-Sonora: Suppose so. Never in anyone's interest but your own, hm?

[12.03.2019 00:28:51] LH~Injection: My interests are the interests of the people of Liberty.

[12.03.2019 00:28:59] LH~Injection: Freedom from the shackles of their oppressors.

[12.03.2019 00:29:02] XA-"Night": Has it ever been otherwise?

[12.03.2019 00:29:51] XA-"Night": Cardamine is not in the interests of the people of Liberty.

[12.03.2019 00:30:08] LH~Injection: Oh I disagree.

[12.03.2019 00:30:25] XA-Sonora: Seems like you're alone on that branch.

[12.03.2019 00:30:25] XA-"Night": Of course you do, you abuse it.

[12.03.2019 00:30:59] LH~Injection: Abuse? Ha!

[12.03.2019 00:32:34] XA-Sonora: Think he's lying?

[12.03.2019 00:32:40] XA-Sonora: It's in your MO.

[12.03.2019 00:33:16] LH~Injection: I disagree with the notion that it is abuse. The beneficial properties of cardamine are plain to see...

[12.03.2019 00:33:21] LH~Injection: For those with the eyes to see it.

[12.03.2019 00:33:27] XA-Sonora: Alongside the downfalls.

[12.03.2019 00:33:43] XA-"Night": Every benefit has a downfall.

[12.03.2019 00:33:56] XA-Sonora: This one just happens to have a bad ratio.

[12.03.2019 00:34:05] LH~Injection: If it's flow wasn't stifled by the powers that be there would be no downside.

[12.03.2019 00:34:36] XA-Sonora: Now that's going on a bumper sticker.

[12.03.2019 00:34:49] LH~Injection: I think it might be a bit long for a sticker.

[12.03.2019 00:35:18] LH~Injection: Tell me, what did you come here for? You must have a reason to be in this hellscape.

[12.03.2019 00:37:14] LH~Injection: I doubt the rogues will be best pleased with your intrusions.

[12.03.2019 00:37:50] XA-"Night": As if we care how the rogues feel about aythin.

[12.03.2019 00:40:07] LH~Injection: That's close enough.

[12.03.2019 00:40:10] XA-"Night": You should've stayed at that base.

[12.03.2019 00:40:21] LH~Injection: You think you can take me?

[12.03.2019 00:40:44] XA-"Night": I can take any of you, sniffing subhumans.

[12.03.2019 00:42:18] Flashback: Like you would even stand a chance against one of us

[12.03.2019 00:42:44] XA-"Night": We shall see.

[12.03.2019 00:42:45] Flashback: A few passes from me and you will never be heard from again

[12.03.2019 00:43:10] Flashback: You can join the debris in this awful cloud

[12.03.2019 00:43:11] LH~Injection: Sounds like my associate has an itchy trigger finger.

[12.03.2019 00:43:31] XA-"Night": Your associate has no idea what he's up for.

[12.03.2019 00:43:44] XA-"Night": Must be that Cardamine side effect.

[12.03.2019 00:44:23] LH~Injection: I wouldn't underestimate him.

[12.03.2019 00:44:26] Flashback: Those effects will give me the edge and you will perish today

[12.03.2019 00:44:38] XA-"Night": I wouldn't underestimate me either.

[12.03.2019 00:44:42] LH~Injection: I'm going to enjoy witnessing the outcome of this.

[12.03.2019 00:44:50] XA-"Night": So be it.

[12.03.2019 00:44:52] Flashback: Any last words Xeno?

[12.03.2019 00:45:01] XA-"Night": Flashback, you'll die first it seems.

[12.03.2019 00:45:05] Flashback: Good. Time for you to die

[12.03.2019 00:46:21] Death: XA-"Night" was put out of action by Flashback (Mine).

[12.03.2019 00:47:00] LH~Injection: Impressive.

Log #3 - 826-03-16
While calibrating a newly constructed bomber I was alerted to the presence of a Xeno Alliance member, Phantom 6, within the Magellan system, an unnamed associate flying Mactan Aggressor requested that I not attack the contact. Curious as to their activities I accompanied the two to the Coronado system where the Xeno was given a tour of the system by the pilot of Mactan Aggressor. I was then left with the Xeno who fortunately appears to have had no ill intent for the time being and we parted ways in Cortez. The reason for this excursion and the identity of the other Lane Hacker allude me - I leave it up to the professorship to conclude what to do with this information.

Log #1, Excerpt #1, Provocateur Elektra King, 826-03-16

Code:
[16.03.2019 10:39:35] Elektra.King.: Do you happen to have found a Xeno on your travels?

[16.03.2019 10:39:56] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: He is right near me. And i would strongly suggest against attacking him. For now.

[16.03.2019 10:40:26] Elektra.King.: Don't worry, I'm not currently equipped for fighter combat.

[16.03.2019 10:40:33] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: I see. So, you're looking to do the Coronado reconnaisance?

[16.03.2019 10:41:05] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Cortez is our destination, then.

[16.03.2019 10:41:28] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: We're going to re-enter the ice crystals field, stay by my side.

[16.03.2019 10:41:55] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Odd times on us, aren't they?

[16.03.2019 10:43:01] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Is another change is happening, then?

[16.03.2019 10:43:20] XA-Phantom.6: The new leader is decidedly more interested in the black-market than the sweet words of the Commonwealth.

[16.03.2019 10:43:34] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Back to the roots, then. Good to hear.

[16.03.2019 10:43:41] Elektra.King.: Good morning.

[16.03.2019 10:43:49] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Good morning, Provocateur.

[16.03.2019 10:43:51] XA-Phantom.6: Morning..? I've forgotten my time-zones.

[16.03.2019 10:43:57] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Let's move.

[16.03.2019 10:44:04] Elektra.King.: I just woke up, it's morning for me at least.

[16.03.2019 10:44:54] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Grid square 3D is our next destination.

[16.03.2019 10:45:06] XA-Phantom.6: I'm more or less aware of the route from here.

[16.03.2019 10:45:18] XA-Phantom.6: Though Coronado is decidedly foreign space.

[16.03.2019 10:45:25] XA-Phantom.6: Resolving connection..

[16.03.2019 10:45:44] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: It's better to wait until we leave the asteroid field. Less interference.

[16.03.2019 10:45:53] XA-Phantom.6: I just realized.. I'm using your computer systems. Legion wasn't even original enough to swap the suite.

[16.03.2019 10:46:13] Elektra.King.: Why would they swap the best for something lesser?

[16.03.2019 10:46:22] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Took that off my tongue.

[16.03.2019 10:46:39] XA-Phantom.6: I won't argue with that, even I see the practicality of it.

[16.03.2019 10:46:52] XA-Phantom.6: Though I'd at least make sure you didn't have a back-door into my life-support.

[16.03.2019 10:47:05] Elektra.King.: Smart.

[16.03.2019 10:47:35] XA-Phantom.6: But maybe the Legion is into being choked, who am I to judge?

[16.03.2019 10:47:42] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: We would never create such a backdoor. Honor is still within our understanding.

[16.03.2019 10:48:14] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Backstab is not a honourable move.

[16.03.2019 10:48:45] XA-Phantom.6: I'm unaware of the history between you and the flaming skull crew.

[16.03.2019 10:49:04] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: I am not completely aware of it myself.

[16.03.2019 10:49:06] XA-Phantom.6: Heard a fair bit, but it's not something the Legion's fond of talking about.

[16.03.2019 10:49:28] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Roughly, i know that some time ago we've had a degree of understanding.

[16.03.2019 10:49:37] Elektra.King.: They worked with us when it was convenient for them. They backstabbed us when it wasn't.

[16.03.2019 10:50:19] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: This system does not house a lot of valuable spots. Places of interest are the Yuma, along with the Sabah shipyard-

[16.03.2019 10:50:23] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: -in it's orbit.

[16.03.2019 10:50:28] XA-Phantom.6: Critical infrastructure.

[16.03.2019 10:50:53] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: The nebula ahead of us veils at least two anomalies, and a Freelancer station, Barrier Gate.

[16.03.2019 10:51:09] XA-Phantom.6: Is the space around it independent?

[16.03.2019 10:51:43] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: My observations show Crayter convoys only making their way to Baffin anomaly and back.

[16.03.2019 10:51:50] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: They rarely deviate from this route.

[16.03.2019 10:52:20] XA-Phantom.6: Ow..

[16.03.2019 10:52:54] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Furthermore, the second settled planet in the system is Pecos - a small icy moon.

[16.03.2019 10:53:06] XA-Phantom.6: I was part of the first convoys that ran guns to Lister.

[16.03.2019 10:53:06] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: It orbits Salina, the gas giant.

[16.03.2019 10:53:13] XA-Phantom.6: We had to make a series of hostile landings there.

[16.03.2019 10:53:21] XA-Phantom.6: Rebels were trying to secure all the LZs and shoot us down.

[16.03.2019 10:53:51] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: So you are more or less aware of it's population composition.

[16.03.2019 10:54:12] XA-Phantom.6: It's an IMG encampment. I'm unaware of the other settlements. I'll assume they're Colonial.

[16.03.2019 10:54:25] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: The mining colony, Camp Lister, that is maintained by Independent Miners Guild, and New Hope.

[16.03.2019 10:54:40] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: It was formed during the Crayterian exodus from Tau-44.

[16.03.2019 10:55:06] XA-Phantom.6: We faced heavily entrenched resistance, seemed like they were prepared.

[16.03.2019 10:55:18] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Roughly speaking, Barrier Gate is the only neutral ground suitable to base your operations off.

[16.03.2019 10:55:25] XA-Phantom.6: Only reason any of us got out alive after the first wave was gunned down was the Commander's orders on the ground.

[16.03.2019 10:56:22] XA-Phantom.6: He had a shuttle run the blockade and reinforce us with riot shields from the armory. Once all of us had one, we were ordered-

[16.03.2019 10:56:29] XA-Phantom.6: to make an advance on the Colonial entrenchment.

[16.03.2019 10:56:41] XA-Phantom.6: Selective pistol fire only, and on command. Nothing heroic.

[16.03.2019 10:57:07] XA-Phantom.6: Routed them, gave us the ability to freely off-load supplies afterward. Didn't see too many skirmishes thereafter.

[16.03.2019 10:58:24] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Should we further update the stellar charts, or is this enough?

[16.03.2019 10:58:42] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: There's not much left to cover anyway.

[16.03.2019 10:58:48] XA-Phantom.6: The Pecos local cluster is already mapped. I'd covered a convoy here once before.

[16.03.2019 10:59:02] XA-Phantom.6: Is this the full extent of the system's infrastructure?

[16.03.2019 10:59:23] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: I see. That leaves only Manchester anomaly in the nebula.

[16.03.2019 10:59:45] XA-Phantom.6: So the Bretonians have a back-door here.

[16.03.2019 10:59:48] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Last time we've updated our star charts - it was in grid square 6C.

[16.03.2019 11:00:08] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: It did not really help them so far.

[16.03.2019 11:00:18] XA-Phantom.6: Do they even know of its existence?

[16.03.2019 11:00:21] Elektra.King.: It's still there. I passed by it not long ago.

[16.03.2019 11:00:46] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: I would believe that, if we are aware of it - their Intelligence is aware, too.

[16.03.2019 11:00:57] XA-Phantom.6: Always a safe assumption to make.

[16.03.2019 11:01:16] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: We have it under keen watch, so nothing will really slip there unnoticed.

[16.03.2019 11:01:41] XA-Phantom.6: Lister seems secured for the time-being, which I suppose is reassuring.

[16.03.2019 11:02:14] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: The rogue battlegroup seems to have their attention elsewhere, and the rest of the Republic is not really interested in-

[16.03.2019 11:02:22] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: -harming the miners.

[16.03.2019 11:02:33] XA-Phantom.6: The rest of the Republic probably realized it was political suicide.

[16.03.2019 11:02:51] XA-Phantom.6: Their assaults failed, easiest thing to do is call a few of your men traitors.

[16.03.2019 11:03:05] XA-Phantom.6: Not much different to what the Houses would do to save skin.

[16.03.2019 11:03:08] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: They were lucky they had someone to put the blame on.

[16.03.2019 11:03:21] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: One day there will be no one to accuse.

[16.03.2019 11:03:27] XA-Phantom.6: I think we can both agree that the Republic's over-stayed their welcome here.

[16.03.2019 11:03:34] XA-Phantom.6: IMG courtesy is what brought them here.

[16.03.2019 11:03:48] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: And it have obviously came to an end.

[16.03.2019 11:04:18] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: For now, however, our orders are rather strict. We observe and, if needed - shield the Guild assets in the system.

[16.03.2019 11:04:49] XA-Phantom.6: Understood. Our MO is more or less the same here. These waters are foreign, caution isn't unwise given the circumstances.

[16.03.2019 11:05:42] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Perhaps, if you reach an agreement with the Professors - we might see a degree of cooperation in these skies.

[16.03.2019 11:05:51] XA-Phantom.6: It really isn't up to me.

[16.03.2019 11:05:56] XA-Phantom.6: It's Squad-Com's decision.

[16.03.2019 11:06:11] LH~Mactan.Aggressor: Now, however, my attention is needed elsewhere. Provocateur, be so kind and take care of our acquitance.

Note:
Despite recent communications from the Xeno Alliance all Lane Hacker pilots are advised to remain vigilant. Their motives are unclear and some of their pilots clearly still harbor an aggressive disposition towards our organization.

They are still a hostile faction until the professorship has decided otherwise.
