Konnichiwa, Sisters.
This is a post-patrol debrief.
Early tonight, at approx 1930 hours, standard Sirius time, I encountered a large Gallic Force in the Hayate Dust field, Kyushu. I was on my way to Matsuda with the intention of RVing with more of our own, as well as a few Blood Dragons. Something was going down and we were sent to find out what exactly. We conducted a system sweep and found a sizable KNF attack group in the Ohka Dust field. I was under the impression we're going to handle the foreigners first, but the KNF opened up on us within thirty seconds. Our entire wing was decimated, both Dragons and Chrysanthemums. Only Wakizashi was left, but he conducted a tactical retreat. A KNF fighter managed to isolate me and the fight was going his way. His backup was also gaining on me fast, I was pretty much done for. However, this is precisely when the GRN force came within scanner range. I did the sensible thing and turned around towards them, leading the entire KNF wing straight into Gallic death circle. It worked like a charm. The KNF were forced to defend themselves and I was left unchecked. Wakizashi also made his return and we exacted our revenge on the traitorous Naval Forces. I'm happy to report every single KNF ship was swiftly dispatched. While the GRN were busy with the last KNF mercenary, we evacuated the area.

Later that evening, at around 2050 hours, we conducted a S&R operation and I'm happy to report all escape pods were retrieved. Furthermore, we recovered a few disabled ships onboard the Ashitazu and even towed the Amaririsu's hull back to safety. Furthermore, after picking up a small and weak signature, we discovered that Hotaru's pod had crashed into an asteroid, leaving a small crater and embedding itself into the rock. We towed the asteroid, designated "Yamcha" back to base as well. Getting that pod out is someone else's problem now.


Sayonara, sisters!
