Here's the report from yesterday.
Immediately after undocking from the Nagasaki, where my fighter had been in for maintenance, I found a Mastodon supertransport loaded with illegal guns. Out in the open, brazenly flying past Roppongi as though its captain was doing nothing wrong.
Initially I ordered him to drop the weapons for destruction, but thought better of it and had them redirected to the Nagasaki for confiscation and processing. We may have use for them.
After that, I began a home guard patrol in case of other smugglers, but the Boccaccio was the only one I found.
Code:
[25.10.2018 00:13:22] KPT|Setsuko.Tsukuda: Now hold it.
[25.10.2018 00:13:34] KPT|Setsuko.Tsukuda: Those weapons are illegal in Kusari.
[25.10.2018 00:13:53] KPT|Setsuko.Tsukuda: You can drop them for destruction, or you can not and be destroyed.
[25.10.2018 00:13:59] Boccaccio: Identify yourself
[25.10.2018 00:14:09] KPT|Setsuko.Tsukuda: ... Excuse me?
[25.10.2018 00:14:23] KPT|Setsuko.Tsukuda: Final warning. Drop them.
[25.10.2018 00:14:33] Boccaccio: Stop firing
[25.10.2018 00:15:16] Boccaccio: Under which authority you fire upon me?
[25.10.2018 00:15:44] KPT|Setsuko.Tsukuda: Are all foreigners this dense?
[25.10.2018 00:16:00] KPT|Setsuko.Tsukuda: I serve in the Kempeitai. You are violating the law. I wasn't even patrolling for that.
[25.10.2018 00:16:18] Boccaccio: I see
[25.10.2018 00:16:41] Boccaccio: I see... I wasn't aware it was contraband in Kusari
[25.10.2018 00:17:10] KPT|Setsuko.Tsukuda: Hm. There may be a better use than simply dropping them.
[25.10.2018 00:17:18] KPT|Setsuko.Tsukuda: You see the Nagasaki back there?
[25.10.2018 00:17:27] KPT|Setsuko.Tsukuda: You can turn them over there.
[25.10.2018 00:17:45] Boccaccio: Hmmm... OK
[25.10.2018 00:18:20] 2018-10-25 00:18:15 SMT Traffic control alert: Boccaccio has requested to dock
[25.10.2018 00:20:58] KPT|Setsuko.Tsukuda: Very good.
[25.10.2018 00:21:13] Boccaccio: Are we good then
[25.10.2018 00:21:22] KPT|Setsuko.Tsukuda: Yes, you're free to go.
My patrol today has taken me into the Tau systems. With the conflict between the Crayter Republic and the Maltese Nation heating up on our borders, it seemed prudent to increase our presence in the region. I am also concerned that our focus on the conflict with Rheinland will give our enemies in the region a free hand to act. Increased oversight of our Gallic.... friends can only benefit the Empire as well. To that end, I have chosen, for the time being, to operate out of the Battlecruiser Akatsuki.
On my way here, I encountered several Outcast patrols. None will be returning home to report my presence. I captured nine Maltese pilots, and have marked them for transfer to Unit 731 for study of the Cardamine mutation.
