Konnichiwa, Katsuo Shimoe here. Patrols have been sporadic, and after some time on leave to visit the family during New Year's celebrations, I finally managed to compile the reports of past actions where I participated.
On Novemeber 12th, while on a patrol to the northern territories, I was approached by one of the blue alien entities, callsign [color=#FFFF00]Nomad, which tried to transmit messages regarding territory and occupation. Records of the event are sketchy, but we've managed to break off from the encounter without an engagement with the nomad, that command dubbed K'Hara|Zul'Tharus .
-----------
On December, day 6, I departed with [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa and [KNF]Ni.Haruna.Sen on a patrol to the Sigma systems, to verify the situation at Planet Kurile. Once again, records of the patrol are few, although there is still footage of an encounter with a Gaian pilot, designation <G>Black.Saurian on Sigma-19.
We also saw a Blood Dragon pilot called Jinpachi.Saika , which we believe was a former representative of the Kyushu-Tomioka Alliance. Seems that organization was indeed rotten at its core.
We glimpsed the BD pilot for a while, before he disappeared in the nebula of Honshu.
--------------
On the 18th of the same month, I launched once again to patrol the northern territories, and after finding nothing more than a Daumann convoy coming from Gallia, I headed to New Tokyo, where I was contacted by [KNF]Nk.Shouzou.Yamada about a odd Hogosha staying at Roppongi, called [HA]-$|Lady.Black.
I questioned the Hogosha lady about the remarks she had made to our pilot, as well as her involvement in a previous encounter with Outcasts. As if on cue, an Outcast gunboat appeared and rammed himself straight into the defense perimeter of New Tokyo, where all and every security personnel got to work and enjoyed filling the Outcast with enriched plasma supplements and military grade warheads. The Outcast exploded in apparent joy for the gifts bestowed upon him.
After ascertaining that the hogosha was not engaging in... "less than acceptable" services, we engaged in some talk until we had to proceed with a patrol to Shikoku, where there were reports of pirate activity.
Yamada located and destroyed one pirate bomber, and we continued our patrol, when reports of the D9 agency being reported on the vicinity of Yokohama Shipyard came in. As I was badly equipped to deal with fighters, I returned to base in New Tokyo to assist in preparations for an appropriate counter.
