Konnichiwa,

My name is Kim Ho, junsa of the Kusari State Police and I would like to inform you about two events observed yesterday evening, during a routine patrol between Shikoku and Honshu system.

To Kempeitai: Stationed with my gunboat "Kim.Ho" near to planet Junyo and watching the traffic to make sure the embargo is enforced, I noticed the presence in our space of an unusual large convoy of [*USI*] vessels. It seems that they were in transit with the purpose to bring a huge quantity of Optronic Arrays from planet Honshu to Liberty space. I checked the database and I saw they are authorized for carrying the commodities listed in section 3.1.5 of the Kusari Legal Codex, so no action had been taken in this matter, but I thought that may interest you.

To Kusari Naval Forces: At 18:33 SMT, at the jump gate between Honshu and New Tokyo system, I found a smuggler with call-sign "Whatshisname", identified as Zoner and carrying 3450 units of Cardamine. When I asked him to stop, he did not comply with the order and ran with cruise mode activated. I pursued him for more than 20 minutes and I tried several times to establish a communication with this pilot, but he continued flying erratically without any certain destination and hoping that I will give up. Finally, this smuggler had chosen apparently to suicide himself, entering into the Medium Blue, somewhere in Sector 5D, located in the middle of the Honshu system. Due to the extremely high temperature from that area and being concerned for my own safety, I didn't had enough time to see if the pilot managed to eject himself so he may have escaped alive. According with the paragraph 3/section 4, from the Kusari Legal Codex, as a precautionary measure, please add the vessel with call-sign "Whatshisname" into the Kusari Criminal Database.

Konnichiwa,

I understand now what kind of activity could be a subject that may interest the Kempetai. Your suggestion to inform the Kusari Naval Forces and Kusari State Police central department about smugglers is well-intended, but at the offices of the Kusari State Police I didn't find an officer with a higher rank and the Kusari Naval Forces didn't answered me, although so far, I submitted two reports with clear evidences regarding unlawful activities occured in Kusari space. I know that are probably busy right now with more important tasks, especially during this period, when the political situation from Kusari is hectic, due to the electoral process.

But... hai. I will comply. I will not bother you again unless any further signs of increased unlawful activity in Kepler or Galileo system will be observed. Arigatō for your precious time!
