The Kishiro vessels Boku Maru and Kodoku Maru attempted a new trade venture this evening, escorted by the KNF gunboat Sokaku and Ens. Sasaki's chimaera.
Our goal was to attempt delivery of optronics to the Corsair base Tripoli, in Omicron Gamma.
Our course took us through the Kumamoto expanse to Omicron Delta, and thence to Omicron Gamma.
No pirate or hostile encounters occurred on the journey. When we arrived at Tripoli, a lone Corsair vessel was in-system. After being assured that our intent was not hostile, we were scanned, and permitted to offload our cargo on Tripoli. The prices were found to be competitive, and Kishiro Corporate is considering approaching certain persons about making this a viable trade destination.
We maximized our profits by transporting H-Fuel to Omega 49, and from there, a badly needed stock of deuterium back to Honshu.
Even though our convoy had no difficulties, I would strongly advise that this route not be attempted without permission from KNF and a suitable escort.

*** MESSAGE BEGINS ***
Guten Tag, Taishō Sulu. This is Kapitaen Hans Krieger of Rheinland Kriegsmarine.
I'm sending you this as a humble request. A transport convoy will soon leave the Yukawa Shipyards destined to the Alster Shipyards in Hamburg. These transports will be carrying Ship Hull Panels and Optronics destined to outfit a new military ship that's under construction at Daumann's Shipyard.
It seems that Daumann has slipped and let this project to fall behind schedule. That's why they've turned to your companies to supply them with the needed materials to bring this ship's construction back on tracks. We have a vested interest that this indeed happens. The success of this shipment is of the utmost importance to that effect.
Our ships will escort this convoy. We dare not, however, trespass your sovereign space. We will meet the transports at Rheinland's borders. But we do have concerns for its safety during the journey. We have made efforts for this information not to leak, but considering we're dealing with civilians, we cannot take the chances that it indeed has not. Considering that, I would like to humbly request that you provide extended protection to that convoy inside your space and as far as the borders of Rheinland, as to meet with our escort group there.
I will wait your response on the matter.
P.S.: On a side note. Another ship of ours, the gunboat Tyr, is undergoing refurbishment to be transferred command to Fregattenkapitaen Krupinski. In recent talks with myself, Herr Krupinski has demonstrated great interest over the Kusari Gunboat Missile Turrets. The Fregattenkapitaen is a valued personal friend of mine and, if possible, I'd like to present him with a pair of those turrets so he can personally evaluate their power aboard the Tyr. If you'd allow me to have them and it could be arranged for such items to be shipped along with the rest of the components, I would be greatly honored and thankful.

Konnichiwa Kapitaen Krieger,
at the time of the shipment all available Naval Forces and Kishiro vessels will take position to join the convoy.
I am still awaiting clearance from the High Command regarding those Kusari Gunboat Missile Turrets so I am not able to say nothing sure about it at the moment.

Konnichiwa, fellow Trader Captains.
Mako and Katashi, I am placing official commendations in your personnel jackets today for outstanding work on the urgent shipment of goods to Alster Shipyards in Hamburg.
As Trading Master and convoy member, I was very pleased with your performance today. Although we did not come under imminent threat due to the excellent flying of our KNF and RM escorts, you showed a very professional attitude, and superb flying skills.
Now, if our Big Dragons would just stop trying to mate with each other while flying in formation, we could call it a perfect trip. You have advanced the reputation of Kishiro Technologies and its pilots greatly this day.
The High Command changed the '4 trophys' convention back to 2 (two).
All Kusari Naval Forces fighters and bombers are ordered to dock to the Sado or the nearest Naval Base to refit the weapon configuration accordingly.
(oorp/ooc, I hope this is the correct place to post this.if not,my apologies)
Greetings Honorable Sirs, First , let me introduce myself. I am Tanker. I am currently an independant contractor for Ageira Technologies. For further clarification I am not in the same division as the AT&E employees. I can not speak for anyone in the higher echelons of Ageira or would I want to. I am just a working man.
The reason for this communique is to come to an agreement between your honorable selves and myself for fly through rights, either to or both, to Hokkaido or Tau-23 systems. With the express desire of transporting Gate lane parts.
I do not wish to insult or dishonor any of the Kusari people. Again, I am just a working man and I understand how hard life can be. I have freely made unasked for donations to the Farmers in your region. I can further attest that I will not export or import anything to or from your area without your express approval.
The Hogosha have discovered a most disturbing portion of a copy of a "mission statement" from The Blue Lotus Syndicate (Tag: [BLS]):
Quote:The organizations goals are simple; The acquisition of money, the total domination of cardamine markets, and the enslavement of House citizens for purposes of blackmailing them into granting recognition to a dominant Hispanian state.
We thought it best that this be known and promulgated within the government. Be assured the Hogosha re moving to actively combat such attempts by these amoral foreigners who seek to enslave and destroy us.
Ever the servants of the Shogunate!

From: Flight commanding center, Matsue base, Hiroshima
Lt. Toshi is still missed, but the vessels he commandeered, will be moved back to duty. To avoid confusions, the IFF of the Gunboat and the Kishiro transport will display new names in the near future.
As:
[Kishiro]_Fuji.Maru
[KNF]_Yaku-Jima
They will be under the command of brave servants of the KNF and Kishiro. The fighter [KNF]-Mako will be piloted by trainees as recently happened. The bomber "Jade" of the Katana wing is dispatched to the Nagumo and is ready, if reinforcements are needed.
//It is of course me, who will fly them, but i need more time to build up the roleplay of Lt. Toshis come back. Until then, i am just a loyal nameless KNF officer. The Kishiro transport will be separated and has nothing to do with a KNF officer in the future.
