Konnichiwa Eldars, and brother Hogosha. Much has happened in the past few days. However, for now I will only report on the events that transpired today.
Early in the morning as I was bringing Polymers back from Nago Station in the taus, I confronted a trader, bringing Plutonium through Kusari space toward the taus. He was identified in an advanced train under the name "Valen". He was ordered to dock at Kyushu and unload the material. Knowing these gaijin and their false promises, I awaited his return to orbit. My brother, ShinikiYamota, accompanied me. Upon return, the trader's cargo was still filled with the war material. As suspected. Gaijins and their false promises.

I was tempted to immediately open fire. Those who lie to the Hogosha waiver their wishes to live. However, I resisted the temptation. Upon further inquiry a small deal was made. The original intentions of the trader were to export the goods to Bretonia forces. However, should I allow him to pass he would instead supply it to the Mollies. Reports from contacts in Bretonia show that the trader indeed stuck to his word. Gaijin are businessmen. As long as you appeal to their wallet, you appeal to their intentions. Although this wasn't the best way to deal with this situation, as the mollies have shown hostility to our syndicate, I felt as though it would increase resistance against Bretonian forces. Kusari has profited from his payment for the Cargo and, as they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Later that in the morning it seems that the mollies do not offer much resistance to the BAF. Luckily Tomodachi accompanied me at this point. Those filthy gaijin appeared later on in Kyushu. How he was able to penetrate into Kusari space without warning was beyond me. These cowardly rats always seem to find tunnels into our domain. Needless to say, I needed to play the exterminator. BAF|James.R.Dean-P in a Challenger class Bretonia Bomber arrived.

After an exchange of insults I had enough of talking to the swine. What confounded me is that an officer of the law carried a Pirate ID. The dogs have the nerve to associate themselves with the scum of the universe just to break a few of their own mandates to enter our space? Never the less, all this effort to come to our space, perhaps off duty ended in his destruction.

Knowing that Kusari was safe for the time being, I retired to my quarters on Kabukicho. I had another busy day ahead of me. Luckily, upon entering space I was greated by more gaijin. At least this time he swore an oath to serving our syndicate. Tomodachi and I once again began patrolling Kusari space.
We encountered many occurrences in our space. One notable situation was in dealing with independent Corsair ships. KNF presence was detected at an all time low. And Tomodachi and myself could only deal with so many Gaijin. A deal was made. As long as the corsairs acted within the confines of our laws, and no officers of the law were present. We'd turn a blind eye to their actions. Kishiro, Samura, and other Kusari born corporations, and factions were to be unscathed. This proved effective. The corsairs, natural tendency to deal with foreigners allowed Tomodachi and myself to focus on our duties. The only problem that arose was after the corsairs made a "business" transaction with a member of the Universal shipping. From what I could gather, an escort had arrived demanding reparations for the Corsairs acts. Calmly, I gathered myself and began to deal with the situation. I asked the member of universal shipping to supply evidence to their actions. However, their attempts at construing any kind of tangible proof was faulty. They had no concrete evidence, thus I could not act in the situation. I simply asked for the members of Universal shipping to submit a report, with any evidence they could muster and.. perhaps the issue will be looked at again. Quick to quiet himself about the issue the escort left the system.
We then encountered an independent trader, known as Cadbohe, carrying Engine Components to the Tau's. Tomodachi explained the situation, and trader kindly docked and released the cargo.

Later we encountered two vessels, labeled as part of the faction [PFF]. Although I have not encountered these vessels before, I inquired as to their presence in Kusari.. No response. A quick scan of their cargo revealed no evidence however the scum were carrying Pirate ID's. Continually asking for an explaination the two bombers decided to remain silent. I escorted them out of the system, and stated that an inquiry about further dealings with them will be made, and that it was best to remain outside of the Kusari system.
It was after this time that Tomodachi and I continued our patrols. We quickly encountered a freelance trader, being accompanied by an IMG gunboat. Guard_Zathras.Regis, piloting a MG-1 Independent Mining Guild Gunboat. He remained silent in the issue. It was the freelance trader far_way_dk, suspected to be associated with the gunboat guard causing the problem.Piloting a GT-1 "Whale" GMG Transport, the trader was carrying 4700 units of Counterfeit Software.

Though their intentions were not revealed, they were asked to unload the cargo to the authorities on Shinjuku station. Silent at first, nonetheless squabbling amongst themselves for being found, the counterfeit cargo was jettisoned. A sample was procured by Tomodachi for investigation, and the rest were destroyed. I will be submitting a report to the KNF to present a fine of 2 million credits against the trader. Further, I express my concern in allowing IMG traders to freely roam our space. Be suspicious my brothers, and question this organization. As Tomodachi revealed, they were a suspect in the cause of the war. We should be wary of their actions.
It was later at this point that long range scanners still showed the [PFF] Forces had returned to New Tokyo. I sent out a long range communication yet still received no response. The local authorities seemed to have labeled the forces as hostile. I felt that this repeated silence, and failure to comply led me to believe that I should treat them as a hostile force aswell. [PFF]Deathing[L], and [PFF]Wizard, both flying falcata bombers were engaged at the Honshu jump gate.

Sadly my ship, not geared towards combat with small vessels were unable to threaten the two ships. Tomodachi arrived to assist me, and a Luxery liner had supplied me with Nanobots, and Shield batteries, and actively defended itself against the pirate threat. However, it did not with to remain in battle, and proceeded to Honshu. Myself, being a skilled pilot as able to evade most of their attacks, however our ships are, bluntly put, flying bricks. Fire was focused upon Tomodachi and was soon worn down and destroyed in combat. I continued to fight. I had to at least avenge my brother. Armed only with Colada's and a Supernova, I attempted to get a lucky shot off at one of the bombers. Out of mines, and the supernova proving ineffective I felt my only option was to wear down the bombers with the Coladas. Doing my best to dodge the gunfire, I slowly widdled down my opponents. Soon one ship was out of nanobots, and slowly losing health. Revenge for my brother grew every so close. My ship, unable to dodge all the fire was slowly widdled down. If I could at least destroy this one fighter with Colada's it would be a minor victory, one that I can retreat from with honor. On the edge of my seat, I attempted to dodge the fire, while releasing a ineffective salvo of pulse fire upon my enemies. I scored a direct hit to his ship, and soon his ship showed signs of damage. I must have hit a crucial section and a fire had begun to start on his ship! However, in this moment of eagerness I lapsed in the handling of my ship. I received a salvo of gunfire from [PFF]Wizard, the intact ship and I was destroyed. The victory was so close, [PFF]Deathwing[L] was so close to destruction. I felt the victory robbed from my hands. As my pod spiraled into space, I was able to connect to a KNF officer.. Though there was much static, I hope I was able to reveal the location of the two pirate pilots. I can only hope Deathwing's ship slowly burnt to a crisp, and that Wizard would be effectively dealt with by the officer.
This ends my report. I do hope that efforts are being made with the KNF to bolster our supply of tactical ships in order to better defend our homeland. However, if such a deal cannot be made. Perhaps a look into our other allies is in hand. Should no progress be made in dealing with our KNF brethren, I feel it necessary to deal with our corsair allies. Those who seem more willing to share military assets for our continued service to them. Give me permission, and although I see it unfitting to pilot it in public space, I believe I have created a strong presence for the Hogosha. Traders will see through the ship, and instead see the pilot who still valiantly protects his space.
