Fraudulency

As per the special operation nature of the honey-trap technique and the secrecy that is involved in it, I employed the transponder Sogososha|~Hana along with an appropriate character, a fitting backstory and a glaring problem in order to successfully attempt the technique.

Hana Nakamoto

I'd say I came up with a pretty convincing story, and my statement is likely confirmed by the success of my operation. I - or rather should I say... Hana - contacted this transport - a contact I saw on the Spyglass Network - ATV-Seven.Wonders regarding Hana's problems in acquiring mentioned AWBs, after of course the necessary introductions with the transport's captain, Kelly.

I managed to convince Kelly to pick up a shipment of AWBs and send them to "my" location, Yokohama Shipyard at New Tokyo. I was held up 20 clicks above a trade-lane ring from the Shikoku Jumpgate to Planet New Tokyo and I came up with a good excuse to have Kelly let me know -before- she makes the jump to New Tokyo so I can cruise down to the lane and disrupt it in time.

Of course, all the pieces fell together like a well organized puzzle and my plan was a major success. I disrupted the lane and caught the transport just in time with perfect synchronization.

Spotting a Naval Forces destroyer in Shikoku using the Spyglass Network, I did not take any chances and ordered the transport to follow me 20 clicks away from the lane to avoid detection, and that's where I extorted the corporate scum for half the cargo space's worth of AWBs.

Professor Provocateur Vladimir Scorpius then manned the Airdrie Repossessor and safely made it to New Tokyo, tractoring the valuable cargo in.

The Naval Forces destroyer did not pose a threat during our return trip and we successfully unloaded the AWBs on Leiden.

As a final note for my report, I suggest a quick edit of our mission parameters by the Professorship so entries that mention Airdrie Hideout can be altered.

[29.12.2022 13:57:31] Sogososha|~Hana: Sorry about that. I've been looking for -any- radio contact towards down south that would work.

[29.12.2022 14:00:45] ATV-Seven.Wonders: It's ma'am. And I assure you, Ageira Technologies employees are the most trustworthy people in the whole sector.

[29.12.2022 14:00:57] ATV-Seven.Wonders: You can call me Kelly. What's wrong?

[29.12.2022 14:01:49] Sogososha|~Hana: It's a pleasure to meet you Kelly! I... Look... My father's the CEO of Sogososha.

[29.12.2022 14:01:55] Sogososha|~Hana: He's... a very respected man.

[29.12.2022 14:02:23] Sogososha|~Hana: I dragged myself into the entire ordeal thinking it'd be a good career option for me but I'm realizing that I am-

[29.12.2022 14:03:32] Sogososha|~Hana: My base of operations is Yokohama Shipyard and I am in charge of gathering supplies that are necessary-

[29.12.2022 14:03:58] Sogososha|~Hana: -for the completion of this... "top secret" project... Word has it it has been requested by His Imperial Majesty-

[29.12.2022 14:04:08] Sogososha|~Hana: -Emperor Kogen Tetsuya himself.

[29.12.2022 14:04:21] Sogososha|~Hana: I've... gathered a lot of things so far.

[29.12.2022 14:04:39] Sogososha|~Hana: Ugh.. Ablative armor plating, critical temperature alloys, engine components, fusion diodes, stabilizers,-

[29.12.2022 14:04:49] Sogososha|~Hana: -high temperature alloys... all... sorts of things...

[29.12.2022 14:05:01] Sogososha|~Hana: *Mutters to self* God I'll be crucified for this...

[29.12.2022 14:06:22] ATV-Seven.Wonders: Yes, I am listening carefully. Could you get to the point, please?

[29.12.2022 14:06:49] Sogososha|~Hana: The onboard crews on Pueblo have caused me a lot of trouble...

[29.12.2022 14:07:13] Sogososha|~Hana: Due to... "bureaucratic reasons" they were unable to supply my transport with Ageira White Boxes.

[29.12.2022 14:07:26] Sogososha|~Hana: Something about my company being unknown.

[29.12.2022 14:07:47] Sogososha|~Hana: My father refuses to make official contact with Ageira over the neural-net due to fear of data interception by our-

[29.12.2022 14:07:51] Sogososha|~Hana: -great competitors.

[29.12.2022 14:08:21] Sogososha|~Hana: Miss Kelly, I need a shipment of Ageira White Boxes... It's... I-.. I don't know what to do..

[29.12.2022 14:08:38] ATV-Seven.Wonders: Well, I'm afraid I can't do anything here. I'm not a rep, I'm just a transport pilot. Your father will have to contact our--

[29.12.2022 14:08:47] ATV-Seven.Wonders: --representative in Kusari in order to arrange a deal.

[29.12.2022 14:09:24] Sogososha|~Hana: I-... I've ran out of time... I can't tell that to my father! We're... the project is supposed to...

[29.12.2022 14:09:51] Sogososha|~Hana: I've been looking to contact -anyone- to help me with this and I couldn't find a single contact.

[29.12.2022 14:10:02] Sogososha|~Hana: It's like all the frequencies died... And then I landed one.

[29.12.2022 14:10:22] ATV-Seven.Wonders: If they notice that a shipment of White Boxes goes missing - if it's not delivered to the right place - they will start--

[29.12.2022 14:11:54] Sogososha|~Hana: I-... I can even pay for the White Boxes. I have credits to provide you with.. I just -really- need your help.

[29.12.2022 14:12:24] ATV-Seven.Wonders: I'm listening.

[29.12.2022 14:13:15] Sogososha|~Hana: *She sighs, relieved in some way* How much can your ship deliver?

[29.12.2022 14:14:03] ATV-Seven.Wonders: I can muster a load of 400 units. No more, no less. A single load getting lost could mean it got intercepted by pirates.

[29.12.2022 14:15:09] Sogososha|~Hana: *Hana sighs once again, breathing slowly but nervously* It will more than suffice for the project.. Give me one moment..

[29.12.2022 14:15:52] Death: GNS-Loire was put out of action by >BD<Kyoto (Gun).

[29.12.2022 14:15:52] Sogososha|~Hana: My onboard systems indicate that this load will cost you 200.000 credits, assuming they're up to date..

[29.12.2022 14:16:10] Sogososha|~Hana: *she swallows heavily before continuing* Is.. a payment of 10 million credits enough for your effort..?

[29.12.2022 14:16:19] ATV-Seven.Wonders: Multiply that by ten and you would be correct.

[29.12.2022 14:17:06] Sogososha|~Hana: I cannot give you as much myself, but I am certain my father can-... agree to the offer...

[29.12.2022 14:17:11] ATV-Seven.Wonders: I'm willing to arrange the deal for fifteen million credits.

[29.12.2022 14:17:41] Sogososha|~Hana: *Hana signs* That's... much more manageable.

[29.12.2022 14:18:30] Sogososha|~Hana: I will inform my father of the price that the Ageira White Boxes costed.

[29.12.2022 14:19:14] Sogososha|~Hana: Please... keep this between us. Deliver the load to Yokohama Shipyard and say that you are part of Nakamoto's-

[29.12.2022 14:19:16] Sogososha|~Hana: -fleet.

[29.12.2022 14:19:42] ATV-Seven.Wonders: I expect payment upfront.

[29.12.2022 14:20:09] Sogososha|~Hana: My father, Asai Nakamoto, will ensure you receive the payment the moment you arrive at the station.

[29.12.2022 14:20:27] ATV-Seven.Wonders: And I would also expect for a representative of your company to be there to receive the delivery the moment it happens.

[29.12.2022 14:20:54] Sogososha|~Hana: I have already handled all the logisticals of the operations. I only require for one last favor from you, Miss Kelly..

[29.12.2022 14:21:24] ATV-Seven.Wonders: You will agree to my conditions or there won't be any white boxes to be received.

[29.12.2022 14:21:31] Sogososha|~Hana: Please contact me before you make the jump to New Tokyo.

[29.12.2022 14:21:52] Sogososha|~Hana: We will be arranging an escort for you within the system.

[29.12.2022 14:23:05] ATV-Seven.Wonders: The moment you transfer the payment, I will begin moving to Kusari. Otherwise, the white boxes will remain in Liberty.

[29.12.2022 14:23:29] Sogososha|~Hana: Oh-... I-... I didn't catch that, gomen.

[29.12.2022 14:24:13] Sogososha|~Hana: I-... *sighs* I cannot wire credits from a corporate transport vessel, Miss Kelly... It's.. part of our terms of service.

[29.12.2022 14:24:43] Sogososha|~Hana: I can increase your payment to twenty million credits.. I just-... I can't wire the credits at this moment.

[29.12.2022 14:25:02] ATV-Seven.Wonders: Will you be able to wire them during our meeting?

[29.12.2022 14:25:23] Sogososha|~Hana: I-... I may be able to communicate that to our escort.

[29.12.2022 14:25:28] Sogososha|~Hana: Provide me with a moment please.

[29.12.2022 14:25:56] Rules Tip: Pirates need to keep their demands reasonable. Cargo and Monetary demands that exceed the maximum profit of a trader are viewed as unreasonable. ''Empty'' traders are not excempt from piracy, but the demands asked from them should reflect this.

[29.12.2022 14:27:11] Sogososha|~Hana: I apologize for the inconvenience. I have informed the escort ships to forward a payment of 20.000.000 Sirius-

[29.12.2022 14:32:27] ATV-Seven.Wonders: I'm passing by Junyo, on my way to New Tokyo jump gate.

[29.12.2022 14:33:12] Sogososha|~Hana: Understood. Please give me a moment.

[29.12.2022 14:46:16] Tip: The world of Freelancer is full of ambiguity just like real life is. Not all characters showing up as hostile are your enemies. Likewise - not all characters showing up as neutral are your friends.
