Ageira Technologies came to me about a year after I finished my studies in Communications Technologies. Basically, they taught me to create automated systems that monitor and filter Comms traffic. I had been working for some backwater planet-to-planet communications firm since I got out of school. At least it paid the bills, but it was dull and my skills were not even close to challenged. I took the job in hopes that they would make good on their promise to truly tax my abilities. At least they made good on that promise. They put me pretty high on the ladder to start with based on "initial results".
Eventually my skills grew beyond what they could throw at me, and I had time to use my "exceptional" skills for my own enjoyment. It started by just listening to private messages to and from co-workers so I could have a snicker now and then. With all the rumors. however. I couldn't help but listen in on conversations of those above me. The messages I wanted to listen to, those messages which changed my mind about how great a place Ageria Tech was, were obvious. Super-high levels of encryption, private channels that are only used once a week; sloppy work. What Ageria didn't know, and what I didn't want them to know, was that I had also sub-specialized in decryption. Thanks to my intricate knowledge of their communications systems, I could just copy the message from the buffer of the monitoring systems (those systems that filter out and flag illegal material or references to people like Lane Hackers). Although their encryption was advanced, I eventually pulled myself in the loop.
I learned everything. All the shady deals, the ruthless profiteering; it was sickening. I decided I had to do something, but it couldn't be alone. They'd have definitely whisked me away if I suddenly broke out of my reclusive nature and started casually poking around. I blinded the monitoring programs, the firewalls, everything to my data requests. I had the system finding data on those who could help me on my endeavors without knowing what it was doing. Just like this satellite, which has no idea what's about to happen to it either.
That's when I found you. The lane hackers, my brothers in conviction. I siphoned comms off everywhere looking for help, so I can't say for sure where it came from, though there were hints to an origin in the trade lanes. I guessed one picked up the transmission, but it was exactly what I was looking for nevertheless.
I would like to join you, as you share my self-created hatred for Ageria. They have surely found out that I'm no longer at my desk and begun to investigate, so I have nowhere else to go but to you. They won't find any of the data I have been sifting through... Or any data for that matter. I have become an expert at file deletion and even up to this point I have been making life harder for Ageria, deleting staff relocation requests and the like. I apologize for my long-windedness. I've been spending too much time around words, sifting through private conversations; it rubs off on you. From the standard search method the Liberty Police will use, I will be relatively safe from the Liberty Police; right under their noses. I will eventually have to depart and I have bought a relatively cheap civilian craft to aid my doing so. I know how to fly it. My computer at the office was gracefully powerful and I played some rather realistic simulators during my downtime. The controls on the actual ship feel natural after just a couple of hours flying.
Breaking from my long-winded approach, I wish to see... many bad things happen to Ageria for all their lies. With someone(s) to cover my back, I will be overqualified for the job... I'd watch for some kind of "mysterious explosion" caused by a "fatal hardware fault" on the news tonight... But I can assure you, it isn't a hardware fault.
