Watanabe Kazoku Network - Battle Reports and High Priority Messages

Konichiwa once again Dragons of the Hirotada Shogunate,

Today once I had perhaps eaten a slightly larger than acceptable piece of Shogun Hirotada's fugu dish I flew my patrol "Ich Dragon" to focus and sliently reflect on what makes an appropriate sample size when tasting the Shogun's future dishes. While the Shogun said nothing personaly I felt as if the portion was too large and I had perhaps denied the Great Hirotada Watanabe a questionable amount of exquisite and very expensive fugu.

After this most heinous transgression my soul burned with the desire to redeem myself in the eyes of the Shogun and his close associates also present at the meal. I heard a rumor that dark things were taking place at Kansai Research Station. I decided this is where I would strike.

As I apporached I shadowed the tradelanes, disabling them as I went, my goal to disrupt as much or the regular activities as possible costing both time and money to the new Kusari Government.

I made short work of the weapons platforms and smaller ships, but the larger capital vessels made me wary. I began making attack runs at the station but even my antimatter cannon had very little effect. Then I had the idea.

I continued to make my attack runs on Kansai, but only to draw the heavier capital fire the Gunship and Destroyer were tracking me with. Flying between the station and the capital vessels, the weapons were easy to evade and several heavy ordinance slammed into the side of a very expensive government research station, doing far more damage than I could have hoped to have done.

With my batteries and nanobots running low I knew I had to leave the area. But had I done enough to cleanse myself of my percieved insult to the Shogun? I decided I hadn't, and more redemption was sought.

I encountered a convoy of [*USI*] ship near Yukawa Shipyard, but I could not get close with the two battlecruisers patrolling there. I moved further up the lane and waited for the transports, which fell right into my lap. One tried to run for it but I made sure that we got some credits from the other foriegner as tribute to the Great Watanabe Shogunate for traversing thier space.

These credits have already been transfered to the Shogun's personal account. I hope this is enough to supply you with many more portions of fugu, all of which I pray to taste.

Izu Riekon, Ashigaru.
