20130729 I began my patrol down in Shikoku, checking out the Keiun cloud. There were just two lonesome pirates, probably hoping for some lost traders, who were easily dispatched. Nothing else of import happened, and so I continued my patrol to Kyushu and finished there.
20130731 Today I conducted my patrol in the Honshu system, then on to New Tokyo, where I spend some time training with two other officers. I realise I still have a lot to learn, and I appreciate the lessons. Afterwards, I continued on to Honshu then to the Hiroshima system. As expected, there was nothing to report. I headed back to Planet New Tokyo.
20130801 I was taking my ease in the Tea Room when I received a message from my parents about my sister whom I have not seen in about four years. I had to leave, sir. I do apologise for the suddenness of my departure, and if this negatively affects my career, then I will wear that honourable.
I have spent the past two weeks out looking for her, but I did not meet with succcess. I had hoped to convince her to give up any criminal leaning she had developed, but my search was in vain. Rest assured, if we meet, I will do my duty.
