I met with the honourable young Basaito. Proud we his new bomber we set out to Kyushu to hunt Gaijin.

We just missed an Outcast Gaijin as he disappeared into the Taus. We ignored him and moved into the Taus to pursue a slaver.
The slaver was sneaky and evaded us, with the help of the same Tridente from earlier. We warned him to leave and he opened fire on us. We reluctantly pursued him into Baffin to finish him off, safer that way.

The honourable Malaclypse contacted me personally and I told him of the situation and have our sincerest apologies for having to resort to violence on his scared air-space.

We moved back to Kyushu, finding nothing, then eventually New Tokyo, where we found a miner moving Vehicles to the KNF. We took him for Five million, this money will prove useful for our operations.

Report concluded.

I started out in Honshu, some punk Bretonian Gaijin was tryingto move Gaian Wildlife through the system! I charged him, but he didn't respond, instead attempting to flee.
I ended him swiftly and moved into New Tokyo.

There I found the honourable Shogun Sum-Gok-Li and Kiretsu Sister Suzi Kaori, we watched as a KNF Ensign whelp, fresh out of training challenged a Freelancer who supported our cause.

The young ensign fought well, downing the Freelancer with little trouble, seems his training payed off. I look forward to facing this one in honourable battle some day.

We then moved to the lanes, and snagged a Liner. We offered a more than generous one million for safe passage, he tried our patience, refusing. I doubled the tax and he fired on us. He thought he had the best of us, until Basaito showed in his bomber. The liner screamed for us to cease fire, we obliged, charging ten million for the insult of shooting us.

He declined, offering five million. The dishonour of this one tired us again, so Basaito ended him as I ordered. New Tokyo headed up with battleship patrols, so we slipped away into Hokkaido unharmed.

Report concluded.

Konnichiwa Brothers,
After recovering from today's incident, I am now filling a complete report.

Well, As I said in my short transmission a few days ago, Last time I went to space in my Nodachi, The Navigation systems on ship malfunctioned and I ran directly into outer wall of Kyoto on full cruise engines ... That turned my ship to a floating piece of Iron with no notable functionality, and I as well, ended up with a broken hand. Well, we both are recovered now, but I must admit, I do not trust my Nodachi anymore as much as before ...
Therefor, Today, after reaching a condition suitable for flying, I used my Katana to return to space after this long time, and as usual, I moved toward Honshu. There, I met a Freelancer affiliated to Zoners, who showed great respect toward our cause, and voluntarily donated 1,000,000 Credits to our Movement,

But as I bid farewell to the Freelancer, I received a transmission from Hirosho-San about a Phantom Vessel in Kyushu. So I moved to Kyushu in case things went out of hand. The Phantom, named 'Valentine' -seemed- friendly, but as I also told Hirosho-San, They might look friendly, but that is their Cover, so they can reach out and request our aid whenever they are in need, and abandon us whenever We might use a hand. Same thing Happened! As we were talking to the Phantom pilot, a Naval Forces Destroyer Arrived, and we once again, saw how Phantoms turn their back to us in times like this. Said Phantom engaged Cruise Engines as soon as the Cruiser arrived, and me and Hirosho-San realized it would be wise to move away as well.
So we decided to move to New Tokyo, but not so long after we entered the system, we were attacked by Two Naval Forces Fighters, and soon after that an Imperial Guard Cruiser joined them. We sure did not stand a chance against them, but we decided to rather go down with Honor, so we stood and fought, but, After a hard battle, I suddenly saw Hirosho-San's Ship burning in flames, and soon after, exploding, So I decided to leave the fight and rescue him and the Crew aboard the ship. But, Naval Forces pilots had made a huge mistake - None of them had a Disruptor mounted, and Cruiser was out of Ammo. So I managed to move in and Beam in all the pods, then engage Cruise Engines and get me and all the pods out of the battle.

After that I returned to Kyoto to drop all the pods at Base, and there I met four of our Brothers, who prepared a Strike force as soon as they heard about what happened, to attack those Naval Forces back in New Tokyo. But just recovered from the accident few days ago, and after such a hard battle, I was in no condition of joining them, so I left my Ship in Kyoto and decided to rest a bit. I believe that would be all I can include in this report.

Long Live the Dragons!

Konnichiwa Brothers,
Today me and Cheng-San left for space and met up in New Tokyo, it turned to an eventful day when a few Naval Forces Pilots also 'joined' us. Seems they were not patient enough to talk and be reasoned with, therefor we had to duel them in an honorable fight. First, Cheng-San decided to test Flight Skills of one of them in a short fight, which did not last long, but Cheng-San got unlucky and ran into a few mines, But still, took out the Naval Forces Pilot easily.


After that, Two of their pilots decided to abuse the situation in the most dishonored way and attack Cheng-San, as his was already damaged, he did his best to fight back, but after a hard, breathtaking battle, they finally managed to destroy his ship.

I managed to beam in the pod. At first I decided to move away quickly to save life of my brother, but then after a second thought, I realized I can at least take one of them out before moving away, So I kept my fire on one of their Pilots until he was 'dealt with' in the manner he deserved.

After that, It was not wise to say there anymore, therefor I activated my Cruise Engines and managed to get myself and Cheng-San out of the fight. After that, I returned to Chugoku in a heavily damaged ship to rest a bit and recover from today's incidents ... My ship is undergoing some certain repairs as well.

Konnichiwa brothers.

Forgive me for my absence from the combat reports, but I had some important issues that needed resolving. Nevertheless I have good news, good news indeed. I will keep this short brothers, no need for unnecessary words.

Myself and two Dragons, Hattori-san, and Cheng-san went on a patrol in New Tokyo. There we met a [KNF] officer, a young one by the looks of it, since he thought we, the Dragons will allow ourselves to be part of an unfair fight. I challenged him myself, and his fate was forfeit. We as well intercepted several Gaijin transports, and showed them why they should avoid Kusari in the future. A glorious day it was!

Again, after that, along with Akuji-san, Mitano-san and Katashi-san we went to avenge our brother whose ship has fallen to an IKN Destroyer. Quickly we found him, and scared is not enough a word to describe his reaction. But soon, his escorts arrived, a [KNF] officer, and a Hogosha pilot. Soon I was left alone to duel the [KNF] officer. He proved to be a challenging opponent, but in the end, Dragon blood is far superior.

For Blood and Honor brothers! For Hideyoshi!

Konnichiwa my fellow Dragons! Brothers by sword and blood!

Today myself and Shogun Sum-Gok-Li began our patrol from Chugoku, Hatamoto Hattori-san joined us as well. Through New Tokyo, Kyushu, all the way to the Tau 29.

We explored the system, investigated Samura operations and patrol paths in the system. On the way there we met little resistance. A Chrysanthemum sister was also in Kyushu, patrolling the lanes, Sumi.Masaki of the Uesugi family.

We headed back to New Tokyo, when a transport carrying military vehicles passed us, and we chased him. He had an escort, a Bounty Hunter gunboat. A sister Chrysanthemum joined us, Rika Ito. We did not manage to catch the transport before it docked at Battleship Nagumo, but the gunboat spoke to us without honor, and threatened us. And we destroyed it for it.

After that my brothers and our sister proceeded to Hokkaido, and finally home.

Rika-san invited me to Ainu for some tea. She is beautiful, but I had to decline as I was needed at Kyoto.

For Blood and Honor brothers! For Hideyoshi!

Signed
SHOGUN

Konnichiwa Brothers,
I am ashamed of leaving this message here, But I realized it would be really rude to leave without a word.
Since the time I got the honor to join you brothers in space, I could easily feel that I don't have the ability
to fly a ship as before. The Accident which occurred About a month ago proves this matter.
I did not understand my physical limitation, and tried to ... push my Limits farther that I am able to handle,
which was a foolish move. I always thought of myself as a coward during the eight years I helped our cause
from behind the desk, not behind a ship console, But I never realized there is only one step distance between
foolishness and bravery. I am afraid to admit I took the wrong step. I've been witnessed how my physical limitation
had slowed down me and my other brothers several times in space, therefor I realized I was doing the best
I could in the past eight years as well.

Brothers, It was an honor Serving Kusari alongside you in Space, but I shall now 'Retire' from space and go back
to Supporting our Forces with Tactical Suggestions and Simulated Combat Training exercises as I am not able
to Fly a ship like my early days.

I will always be present aboard Kyoto in case any of you honored brothers need any kind of moral assistance,
but would not be present in Space anymore.

Long Live the Dragons!

Konnichiwa, esteemed brothers.
I have taken the Ken Boshi No on a scouting mission to the Taus. On my way there, we had encountered the faction known as the Cartel. The ensuing conversation was interrupted by a member of the QCP.

The conversation is most troubling.

I look forward to the Shoguns response.

Sayonara.

Konnichiwa Brothers and Sisters,

I will make this short. Another Dragon joined our ranks, Katsuro Takehashi. And I decided to go assist him in the necessary preparations for his ship. And I must say he proved his honor to me with assisting me to deal with a Gaijin that entered our home, Tau 63.

Immediately as I undocked from Mito, my scanners picked up this vessel, a Junker judging by the transponder signature. We had a slight security breach, and he landed on Mito itself!!

I contacted the Samurai there, and they refused him the landing on the base itself, so he was forced to turn around, and proceeded into open space through the docking bay 2.
There me and my brother greeted him, and he insulted us, our home, and the Dragon name! He had no honor, but we granted him an honorable death nonetheless.

That is all for now brothers.

In Hideyoshi's Memory!

Signed
SHOGUN

Arisu: I encountered a Hogosha Gunboat whilst doing my patrol, and I was able to convince him to release over 80 Blood Dragons and over 20 Golden Chrysanthemums, for a small price too. Myself and a Chrysanthemum Sister, who's name is Sei Osugi, transported our brothers and sisters too there respective homes, and were joined by Chiba-San and an Outcast Gajin (Whom I didn't like being in the company of) who went by the name Sal. We began a patrol which didn't yield anything other than us telling an independent trader to turn back and cease all trading with Samura. After this we parted ways and I returned to Kyoto Base. Nothing else to report except that the new dragons are awaiting assignment, over and out.
