As requested I am uploading the conversation between Mr. Kyle Vaughn of the Voltaic Junkers and myself. While I played the middle man between him and Battlegroup Harmony and completed various deals between us and his organization I am still kinda curious about him, I do not trust his words entierly. However, all details are in the conversation logs. That is all for now, Drake out.

[11.02.2020 17:47:02] LH~Raphael.Drake: Mr.Vaughn.
[11.02.2020 17:47:11] CV-2400: K: Mister Drake.
[11.02.2020 17:47:13] LH~Raphael.Drake: Let's go.
[11.02.2020 17:47:24] CV-2400: Bit: VROOM VROOM! TO THE NORTH!-_A_A_-a-_A_EE_
[11.02.2020 17:47:44] Tip: The ''Laws of Sirius'', are a collection of in-roleplay laws for each house. They mention things such as contraband, punishments and fines and are enforceable by lawful IDed ships.
[11.02.2020 17:48:15] CV-2400: This should be enough.
[11.02.2020 17:48:26] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: Lore
[11.02.2020 17:48:49] CV-2400: Now. What have you got for me today.
[11.02.2020 17:48:52] LH~Raphael.Drake: So, anyways.. I received message from Harmony.
[11.02.2020 17:49:18] CV-2400: And?
[11.02.2020 17:49:21] CV-2400: What did they say?
[11.02.2020 17:49:22] LH~Raphael.Drake: It's basically not much new but they want to know for which reason you want to use the ships..
[11.02.2020 17:49:39] CONSOLE: Possible cheating detected: Lore
[11.02.2020 17:50:02] LH~Raphael.Drake: Simply want to know more about you.
[11.02.2020 17:50:14] CV-2400: K: Hmmm. That is kind of a touchy subject, but I guess it can't be helped...
[11.02.2020 17:51:08] LH~Raphael.Drake: A few questions have to be answered..
[11.02.2020 17:51:32] CV-2400: K: I am organizing a covert raid against Liberty. I need the Guardians for that to maintain the Junker's legal front.
[11.02.2020 17:51:40] LH~Raphael.Drake: Since you wanted to acquire a few Guardians? You said? What are they gonna be used for?
[11.02.2020 17:51:57] LH~Raphael.Drake: I doubt that it'll be very legal if they see Junkers on Navy Guardians.
[11.02.2020 17:52:43] CV-2400: K: That's why I intended to ask the Lane Hackers for a IFF scrambler. Something to mask the Junker signatures temporarily.
[11.02.2020 17:52:44] LH~Raphael.Drake: A covert operation against Liberty, and where do you plan to go?
[11.02.2020 17:52:57] LH~Raphael.Drake: Which I already have provided to you.
[11.02.2020 17:53:14] CV-2400: K: You provided me one scrambler. For this ship.
[11.02.2020 17:53:30] LH~Raphael.Drake: I gave you five units.
[11.02.2020 17:54:02] CV-2400: Bit: Oopsie...was I not susposed to drain them all?
[11.02.2020 17:54:17] CV-2400: K: *sighs* Well, I'll need a couple more.
[11.02.2020 17:54:26] LH~Raphael.Drake: This isn't a problem.
[11.02.2020 17:54:39] LH~Raphael.Drake: Won't be, anyways.. where do you plan to go to?
[11.02.2020 17:54:51] LH~Raphael.Drake: Tell me more about your raid.
[11.02.2020 17:55:20] CV-2400: K: There are two points of interest right now.
[11.02.2020 17:55:40] CV-2400: K: First one would be Cortez to lessen Navy influence. Second one would be Hudson to flatten it.
[11.02.2020 17:56:12] LH~Raphael.Drake: From my experience Hudson is pretty much Navy free.. except the Jump Gate to Texas.
[11.02.2020 17:56:25] CV-2400: K: Which is the thing that I want gone.
[11.02.2020 17:56:59] CV-2400: K: Without that Gate, all traders will have to enter Bering or Puerto Rico. Easy prey.
[11.02.2020 17:57:12] LH~Raphael.Drake: Maybe Battlegroup Harmony is able to help you with this matter, but its not their style to attack civilian stations.
[11.02.2020 17:58:05] CV-2400: K: What if it is? Afterall, I knew Liberty's corporate tree is very...very naughty.
[11.02.2020 17:58:27] LH~Raphael.Drake: Well.. speaking from my experience, Ageira is.
[11.02.2020 17:58:59] CV-2400: K: See? With Hudson cut off, you would have easy prey on their transports.
[11.02.2020 17:59:11] CV-2400: K: Everyone wins, except the corporate scumbags.
[11.02.2020 17:59:28] LH~Raphael.Drake: Well.. our relations to the Unioners are kinda "frozen" for now, but thats a different story.
[11.02.2020 17:59:52] CV-2400: K: I know.
[11.02.2020 17:59:55] LH~Raphael.Drake: What about your whole interest of Alaska?
[11.02.2020 18:00:32] CV-2400: K: Thats for another time. A strike on Alaska will drain a lot of resources. Resources the Junkers cannot gain in such a short-
[11.02.2020 18:00:34] CV-2400: -time
[11.02.2020 18:01:19] LH~Raphael.Drake: And after you accomplish your goals what will happen to the Navy vessels? Will you simply return them back?
[11.02.2020 18:02:10] CV-2400: K: If Harmony requests so, I have nothing against it. If they let us keep them, then said vessels will be deployed for Tarancon
[11.02.2020 18:02:44] LH~Raphael.Drake: Good, is there anything else you think they might want to know about you and your Junkers?
[11.02.2020 18:03:00] LH~Raphael.Drake: Before I have to drag you out again into Magellan for a meeting.
[11.02.2020 18:03:22] CV-2400: K: Hmm. Tell them that Voltaic Junkers hate Liberty as much as Harmony does. For various reasons.
[11.02.2020 18:03:41] CV-2400: K: Hate is a broad term, but its worth noting.
[11.02.2020 18:04:00] LH~Raphael.Drake: How comes the hate?
[11.02.2020 18:05:53] CV-2400: K: You once told me of a "Prison Station Fairbanks". A Prison in Alaska only does bad things. That and...I had a bad experience
[11.02.2020 18:06:19] CV-2400: K: The Navy backstabbed me. So I as the good Junker return the favor.
[11.02.2020 18:06:39] LH~Raphael.Drake: *lights up a cigarette* a bad experience on Fairbanks?
[11.02.2020 18:06:50] LH~Raphael.Drake: Or in general? I remember it was more of a general bad experience.
[11.02.2020 18:06:59] CV-2400: It was.
[11.02.2020 18:07:19] CV-2400: Not on Fairbanks, but I definitely got threatened that I'd get locked up in there.
[11.02.2020 18:07:30] CV-2400: Threats don't exactly work on me, as you can see.
[11.02.2020 18:07:31] LH~Raphael.Drake: Can't help it, I had a rather bad experience in the Navy aswell.
[11.02.2020 18:08:14] CV-2400: K: My current killcount stands at a mere 15 navies so far - those that tried their luck failed. Battleships included.
[11.02.2020 18:08:37] CV-2400: Naturally, I escape battleships, not fight them.
[11.02.2020 18:09:27] LH~Raphael.Drake: Good, I believe that is all.
[11.02.2020 18:09:28] CV-2400: Regardless. I have one more thing I need from you.
[11.02.2020 18:09:34] LH~Raphael.Drake: This would be?
[11.02.2020 18:09:58] CV-2400: As you may or may not know, I had a pretty unpleasant situation with the Lane Hackers - which is the slow reaction time.
[11.02.2020 18:10:09] LH~Raphael.Drake: You're talking about Leiden?
[11.02.2020 18:10:13] CV-2400: Yes.
[11.02.2020 18:10:28] LH~Raphael.Drake: The Professors will be dealing with this.
[11.02.2020 18:10:30] CV-2400: Take it as a poke for that money. Nothing much.
[11.02.2020 18:10:47] LH~Raphael.Drake: Also what exactly happened there?
[11.02.2020 18:11:08] CV-2400: Your friend was a little bit too slow, and the Navy suddenly showed up.
[11.02.2020 18:11:44] CV-2400: Two transports handed over the goods in a rush, but never got paid for them. My Liner is stuck in Galileo, waiting.
[11.02.2020 18:12:23] LH~Raphael.Drake: I see..
[11.02.2020 18:12:31] LH~Raphael.Drake: Do you have any names perhaps?
[11.02.2020 18:12:59] CV-2400: A full log has been sent to the Professorship already. I believe the name was "Leiden Repressor".
[11.02.2020 18:13:28] LH~Raphael.Drake: That is the name of the ship, but I meant the name of the Lane Hacker, the person you were talking to.
[11.02.2020 18:13:48] LH~Raphael.Drake: Silly question actually, you might've already contacted him then.
[11.02.2020 18:13:54] CV-2400: Indeed.
[11.02.2020 18:14:24] CV-2400: I don't ask for names - especially not when it comes around the Lane Hackers.
[11.02.2020 18:14:51] LH~Raphael.Drake: You should've in this case.
[11.02.2020 18:15:06] CV-2400: You want yourselves anonymous and I respect that - provided you do the same about us and keep deals a secret.
[11.02.2020 18:15:28] CV-2400: I should have asked for the Hacker's name, yes. But the time was short and the Navy was getting suspicious.
[11.02.2020 18:15:44] LH~Raphael.Drake: You lead the Navy to Leiden?
[11.02.2020 18:15:44] CV-2400: We had to drag our Salvager from the Navy's teeth before anything bad happened.
[11.02.2020 18:15:55] CV-2400: Lead? No.
[11.02.2020 18:16:04] CV-2400: It took a good 1 hour until they showed up.
[11.02.2020 18:16:12] CV-2400: Slightly less, to be more precise.
[11.02.2020 18:16:30] CV-2400: Thing is, they just came out of nowhere.
[11.02.2020 18:17:04] CV-2400: My call would be that they already knew of Leiden.
[11.02.2020 18:17:21] LH~Raphael.Drake: Interesting.
[11.02.2020 18:17:47] LH~Raphael.Drake: And you are sure that none of them followed you while you were traveling to Leiden?
[11.02.2020 18:18:07] CV-2400: I am very sure of that. They couldn't have followed us.
[11.02.2020 18:18:19] CV-2400: No traces left behind. No lanes used, no Jump Gates used.
[11.02.2020 18:18:51] LH~Raphael.Drake: If you went through Colorado the Rio Grande probably picked you up and calculated your course.
[11.02.2020 18:19:16] CV-2400: The Rio Grande was on the way to Kepler. We obviously didn't take that route.
[11.02.2020 18:19:27] LH~Raphael.Drake: To Kepler?
[11.02.2020 18:19:53] CV-2400: Leiden is in Galileo, Drake. Remember?
[11.02.2020 18:20:15] LH~Raphael.Drake: It is commonly known that Battleship Rio Grande keeps orbiting close to Planet Gunnison.
[11.02.2020 18:20:25] CV-2400: Yes.
[11.02.2020 18:20:53] LH~Raphael.Drake: And if you used the Galileo Jump Hole which is in the Alamosa Asteroid field, the Rio Grande might've picked up your signatures
[11.02.2020 18:21:06] CV-2400: I highly doubt that.
[11.02.2020 18:21:07] LH~Raphael.Drake: Before you entered the field.
[11.02.2020 18:21:11] Death: UN.Sathariel was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[11.02.2020 18:21:31] CV-2400: Lets say your hypothesis is right. How would they have known exactly that we went for Leiden after that?
[11.02.2020 18:22:04] LH~Raphael.Drake: It could've been a hint from the locals.
[11.02.2020 18:22:10] LH~Raphael.Drake: Atleast where to find Leiden.
[11.02.2020 18:22:31] Death: Nazcarriba was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[11.02.2020 18:22:33] LH~Raphael.Drake: But as long it is not clear how they found you it'll be a secret for us.
[11.02.2020 18:23:14] CV-2400: There were literally no civilians around. ALL salvagers were equipped with Advanced Deep Scanners.
[11.02.2020 18:23:55] CV-2400: And Rio Grande is around 45 kilometers away from the Kepler Jump Hole. Do you really think the Navy would have THAT scanning-
[11.02.2020 18:23:58] CV-2400: capability?
[11.02.2020 18:24:13] LH~Raphael.Drake: Shouldn't be a real problem for them.
[11.02.2020 18:24:40] LH~Raphael.Drake: If they came to you after that in Galileo it appears to be very possible.
[11.02.2020 18:24:42] CV-2400: The Rio Grande is a monument now. A relic.
[11.02.2020 18:25:23] LH~Raphael.Drake: We're not in the industrial revolution anymore Mr. Vaughn.
[11.02.2020 18:25:59] CV-2400: On the other hand, the Galileo Jump Hole - the one we took - was even further than that.
[11.02.2020 18:26:12] CV-2400: Unless the Rio Grande has a Spyglass array, it wouldn't have known.
[11.02.2020 18:26:35] CV-2400: Bit: You're confusing the locations, dumbass.
[11.02.2020 18:26:40] LH~Raphael.Drake: Did you pass Planet Denver?
[11.02.2020 18:27:01] LH~Raphael.Drake: Oh I know what I am talking about.
[11.02.2020 18:27:25] CV-2400: Bit: Right. So. THIS dumbass Vaughny went right through the system. Above the sun and back. Above the lanes and back on plane.
[11.02.2020 18:27:49] CV-2400: Bit: The Liner did not approach neither Rio Grande nor Planet Denver.
[11.02.2020 18:28:09] CV-2400: K: The convoy overall didn't.
[11.02.2020 18:28:19] CV-2400: Bit: Yeah yeah.
[11.02.2020 18:28:23] LH~Raphael.Drake: And the other Liberty core systems?
[11.02.2020 18:28:52] CV-2400: Bit: Same thing, buddy. Nothing red, white or green on scanners. All desolate through where we went.
[11.02.2020 18:29:36] LH~Raphael.Drake: Is that your andriod Mr.Vaughn?
[11.02.2020 18:29:43] CV-2400: Bit: Unless the Navy has a Reseph to scan your porn up to 10 systems away, theres no way.
[11.02.2020 18:29:54] CV-2400: K: Eeergh...
[11.02.2020 18:30:29] CV-2400: Bit: A.I. Totally sane ma-M-M-MAULING FUCKING N-N-NAVIES ALL-D-D_AAAAAAA- ah. Machine.
[11.02.2020 18:30:56] LH~Raphael.Drake: Did you build him yourself?
[11.02.2020 18:31:28] CV-2400: K: Found him on a derelict wreck. An old imperial Bismarck, per say.
[11.02.2020 18:31:55] LH~Raphael.Drake: Well, I think we're done here.
[11.02.2020 18:32:00] CV-2400: K: I did what I could to fix him. He did just fine until he took Azurite in his systems.
[11.02.2020 18:32:18] CV-2400: Bit: About Azurite. When do I get my next dose? I'm S-S_STA-RV-VING.
[11.02.2020 18:32:22] Changing screen mode=windowed
[11.02.2020 18:32:40] CV-2400: K: We're uh. Yeah, we're done here. If you need anything just contact me via Neural Net or Mactan Network.
[11.02.2020 18:32:52] LH~Raphael.Drake: Likewise.
[11.02.2020 18:33:06] CV-2400: Bit: Bye!
[11.02.2020 18:33:12] LH~Raphael.Drake: Take care.
