Today I once again took the KDS-Fukuoka for a patrol, and I found myself with plenty to do. First, using TLAGSNET, I found a smuggler by the name of Gunner_More, holding Black Market Mutinitions. They claimed to have a licence, but revealed that it was for Liberty and had assumed that it would let them carry such goods throguh Kusari too. While explaining that this was not the case, there was a distress call put out system-wide, saying that there where Blood Dragons by the Osaka Ruins. Feeling a need to quickly finish the encounter with the smuggler, I told them to return to Liberty and bring something else that was allowed within the Laws of the Kusari Republic. Heading down the lanes, I found a Blood Dragon Cruiser, and a freelance armoured transport. The cruiser refused to power down and submit to an arrest, so I ordered the gunners to open fire.
The Fukuoka took an early beating, but the Dragon had to dissapear due to problems with resident Ionic Energy, no doubt a sign of the inferior craftsmanship compared to Kishiro and Samura these terrorists are reliant on. I used this time to quickly get some repairs from Akita Border Station. Then, I returned to Osaka and re-engaged the Dragon Cruiser. This time, the Fukuoka performed admirably, shutting down the Dragon Cruiser in no time. However, the nearby Freelancer, who was a Dragon-Sympathizer or a Blood Dragon themselves tractored in most of the ejected crew. The "freelancer" aslo fired off cruise disruptors at the Fukuoka several times.
While getting repairs at Akita I came across the Smuggler from earlier, who according to TLAGSNET, was still holding the Black Market Mutinitions, so I will be adding both freelancers to the Kusari Criminal Register. Unfortunately, I have no scans nor TLAGSNET details of the freelancer "Argo", so that could make it harder for any further investigations.
