Yesterday I Managed to get my IFF Comp to Transmit the LH Identification.
After the IFF was fixed I joined LH~Phate to a run to a nearby system and back, It all went peacefully, Even a meeting with a trader in our system, Desided it was best to do as Phate asked from him.
Today i found a code and flew it to LH~R&D01.
Proceeded to Magellan to pick up my Prober ID.
Went hunting to collect the next guest for the intorogatiors.
This task/mission is still undergoing.

Phate and I had an interesting encounter with a Talarca controlled by an Artificial Intelligence last night. The ship was encountered inside the old Magellan -> New York jump gate. It was shooting the gate components, clumsily attempting to salvage parts to repair its jump drive. The ship exhibited signs of database decay and instability, however we were able to hack into it.

After some debate on what to do with the ship, we hacked its navigational control and moved it to the wreck of the Bradley, a Universal transport that was hauling jump gate components. After some work, we transferred the remnants of the Bradley's cargo into the Talyn, and the onboard AI proceeded in repairing its jump systems. After it completed weapons repairs, we rapidly moved out of range, just to be safe.

Before leaving, Phate managed to install a backdoor to the system. Also, we copied as much of the ships database as possible, I'll be working on analyzing that for the next few days.

I sucked one million credits from its neural net account as a compensation.

Dexter, you left out the entertaining part when you were opening the White Boxes and I moved behind an asteroid to take cover...

Ah yes. Phate decided it would be a good idea to hide behind some asteroids while I did some rather sensitive work. As if I would have tripped the security mechanisms...

Anyway, I was on flight patrol with Max Zorin earlier today. We attempted to interdict an Armored Transport, however after a prolonged chase, it managed to escape to the safety of Sheffield Station. Still, a good training experience.

Back in Magellan, we found a Corsair ID'd Praetorian name FeL, which was oddly broadcasting a Synth Foods IFF signal. The Corsair pilot ignored repeated warnings, throughout the entire encounter his comms array was silent. Eventually, I proceeded to atomize parts of the bomber's hull. Its downfall however, came from the pilot not being careful with his dual Sunslayer Launchers. Using my cruise disruptors, I manage to detonate his ordinance right as it exited the launch tubes.

After the removal of the interloping Corsair, Max and I proceeded to the Vespucci sector for some training. I dusted off my old Dagger and we found an empty patch of space. I'm glad to say that there's nothing much that I can teach Max in terms of flying a Light Fighter. He was quite competent, besting me several times.

Going into slighly more detail on Dexter's report, the armored transport managed to pass twice before cowardly docking on the bounty hunters base in manchester. Also during the trainig, in the empty space, rouge train CD managed to hit one of the guards, giving me a few seconds of evasion practice, before destroying my ship, I was also sent 1 million credits by an unusual junker. Lastly, as I was heading back to mactan, came across a coup of zoner traders, with the correct ID but lacking an IFF signal. Two were definitely carring prisoners, I missed a scan on the third and one wished an unpresent phate well in his endeavors.

Well today, i made quite a bit of progress.

I started with getting my IFF computer set to properly displayed to Lane Hackers. I also acquired a Lane Hacker ID for my ship.

I then went about wreaking major havok in the California system, by tapping into one of the Trade Lanes and intercepting some minor Ageira and Interspace Commerce trade vessels. I destroyed quite a few, and the police sent several light patrols to find me. I quickly dispatched several Police vessels, and the augmented Navy patrols that came to aid them.

After turning in several loads of prisoners to the Interogation vessel, i was given a MkII armor upgrade and some cardimine. It was amazing! Ive never felt so... enlightened... ever!

Well, thats it for today, tommorow i will get to work on bettering my relations with our other allied factions.

After working on my relations with our friends, the Outcasts, i was pleased and shocked to see a lone, unescorted Bretonian Clydsdale with a cargo hold full of Boron right near Mactan base. I hailed the fighter, and demanded he either drop his cargo, pay a tax, or be destroyed. He complied, and payed my tax. I let him go on his way, but warned that if i ever saw him in that area again, he would be in a deep hole of trouble.

After that, it was pretty much the usual. Intercepted some minor shipments by Ageira and some Gateway and Universal shipping convoys in California.

I will be looking forward to applying for the rank of trainee, soon.

I've come out of hiding, with a brand new ship. I must apologise for not informing this channel of my absence, but I was busy acquiring myself a brand new Borderworld Transport. Weeks upon weeks of scouting, subsequent hacking and purchase has beared delicious fruits for me: the "Bruinsma's Bazaar".

Coming from Beaumont Base, I encountered Trainee Mr Big, who was engaging some troublesome Xenos starfliers. Together we quickly crushed the poor ships and I informed him of my job. "Counterfeit software to Arranmore", a simple trip. I was wrong...

... We travelled to California, and there's where the trouble started. The trip through the fields was quiet and peaceful, but it became tense when we reached the California Minor - Magellan Jump Gate trade lane. There, was a Liberty Navy fighter, who saw Mr Big's "LH" transponder and chased us. The fool didn't appear to have a good reaction time; we jumped out of the trade lane and he kept going to San Diego. Silly corporate lackey.

Making it through to Cortez (and safety), we took the jump hole to Magellan and continued on our route. Into Leeds we went, and only pitiful Gaian startrackers greeted us. In Dublin however, there was a welcoming party for us...

... Three Molly Republic ships greeted us, and ordered my ship to halt. Thankfully, they noticed the LH-tagged Mr Big next to me, so they waved us through to Arranmore. I didn't want to be robbed by our friends over due to a miss-understanding, so I hope they've noted my ship down as friendly.

Here on Arranmore now. Busy uploading operating systems to some Molly fighters. It's not fun to work with poor quality equipment, if you get my drift.

A fairly productive day today. I met one of our new recruits, Jaws in space today. I helped him run a few missions, increasing his standing with his fellow Hackers. Also, I repeatedly encountered a pair of Armored Transport traders. I met them a total of three times, the first two times they escaped, but I succeeded on the third attempt. Those dim witted supporters of the corporate oligarchy must be luck incarnate in order to escape me twice.

The first two times I encountered them I was in my Scimitar. Our second encounter is shown here:
Second encounter.

However, the last time I encountered those two I was piloting my Sabre, a ship more suited to the task. Initially, both were silent as i made my demands, trying to flee. I singled out my target, Milner, and proceeded to atomically dissolve his hull. I gave him one last chance before I reduced his ship to vapour, but he elected not to pay me.

After seeing his partner vaporized, the other Armored Transport pilot, Megaman, elected to pay us the 250 000 credits required. The money was split between myself and another pilot that showed up near the end.

You may notice that my demands weren't particularly verbose. The first time I stopped them, I spent entirely too much time on the comms array and they were able to escape. After the third time I met them, I figured they understood the consequences should they fail to pay, and hence truncated my demands.
