Konnichwa!
Today I was travelling through Kyushu and picked up an intermittent signal from the Lane Hacker barge, Carnivorous.Space.Ship. It took a while to locate it, but it was eventually found in the Seiran Dust Cloud. It seemed to be unmanned--nothing in the cargo hold, and no response to drop the nanobots and space batteries. But then I asked myself: what would a hacker do?, and so I destroyed it.
Carnivorous.Space.Ship ID and Kill, plus a bonus explosion shot
I believe we can agree that this is a "larger ship" than a transport, which would put the base payout at 4 million credits.

Hello again Kusarians,
This time I bring you news of a Rogue bomber in Kyushu. He was harrassing a trade ship when I found him (I forgot to get pictures but not important). He made a valiant effort at running but it wasnt enough--his ship was still destroyed, just on the other side of the system.
ID and kill attached
Curious to see a Liberty Rogue in Kyushu.
1 bomber: 2.5 m

A small bundle of three kills for Kusari.
First I was doing patrol on Kyushu lane and met up with a KSP patrol, when an Outcast bomber flew right up next to us. No chance. I got lucky with the last energy bolt.
Vesta Firepaw ID and kill
A little while later I found an Outcast Tridente gunboat pirating the lanes in Kyushu. He shot me out of the lane, but then tried to run once he realized I wasn't in a transport. However he was too far from Tau-23 and had already blown his only path of retreat, so ...
Quintos_Cortez ID and Kill
Finally, yesterday I found two AFA bombers beating on a BHG Orca in Kyushu--the BHG seemed like a new recruit, unable to manage his ship and in the wrong system too. The easy win over the Orca led the AFA pilots to arrogant attack patterns, and I was able to easily kill one of them who did not move. The other fled after seeing what happened to his friend.
[AFA]Hioki.Yoshida ID and kill
Amount due ... let's see... 1 Outcast bomber: 2.5m; 1 Outcast gunboat: 3m; 1 AFA bomber: 2.5m; Total: 8m
Looks like I will be staying in Kyushu for a while.

Konnichiwa, Kusarians
Today in Kyushu, I heard reports of some KNF and Outcast ships fighting so decided to offer some help. The first pair I found was a KNF fighter pilot trying to talk to the pilot of an Outcast Tridente named Moi.[Meci]. After a few minutes of chatter, the KNF officer found something else to do, leaving myself and the Outcast alone. I dont like talking that much, so I picked a fight and killed it.
I believe that payment for a gunboat is 3 million credits.
Arigatu!

Konnichiwa again!
Apologies for two messages in one day, but I got another Outcast Gunboat, named Nyana. This one was seen pirating in Liberty, and was working the lanes in Shikoku for a while. By the time I caught up with him, he was coming out of the Kyushu jumphole into New Tokyo. He had CAU7 and a little bit of everything in the weapons department, but he still fell.
Another 3 million on the tab, please
