Mission 11: Report misuse of Lane Hacker technology

On my return trip to Mactan Base after an encounter with a transport in Manchester I came across a Freelancer sporting Unidentified IFF just outside our base. The Freelancer went by the name "Pink" and the ship's callsign was Pink.Fury, completely lit with pink lights. It was also completely packed with a series of seemingly random weaponry, most of which were nomad adapted weapons.

Further scans of the ship indicated Lane Hacker technology being part of it's inventory of weapons, in the form of 2x Hellflurry Mk V guns.

I inquired as to what the story behind this ship is, and the pilot told me they found it in Tau-61, completely undamaged and with it's previous pilot being shot clean through the glass canopy, so "Pink" claimed it as his. I requested that Pink proceeds to immediately dock on Mactan Base and hand over the Lane Hacker technology back to us, but he rejected in a very offensive manner, asking me to "try him". Knowing that taking on a fighter on a bomber I refused to engage the Freelancer. I am sure there's many more amongst the Inner Circle who are more capable than me in dealing with that matter and showing "Pink" the consequences to his actions.
