Subject: Pirating run, Dead Lancer, Anomaly Encounter.

---

I had the honor of going on patrol into Galileo with Matriarch Kiri, there we found and pirated 3 seperate [FP12] transports, two carried Reinforced Alloy to someone's base, the last went by a callsign of "[FP12]-Jelly" and was empty in addition to refusing to comply, at which point I ended him swiftly. Further down the lane at the Northern Bend we encountered a lancer by the callsign of "AlphaWolfLoki" Who was looking for a fight, He had our sisters captured in his cargo hold alongside a few Rogues and Lane Hacker Affiliates, we were forced to shoot him down after our show of mercy, we recovered the pilots which were later returned to Morioka. We caught an odd callsign on our scanners shortly after, emerging from the North-East cloud, we gave pursuit where Matriarch Kiri interrogated him. The Man by the callsign of "gf)Erich.Klugmann" claimed to be the ex-leader of the Bundschuh, we were unable to confirm such an identity but he gave us information regarding a new anomaly that lead to the edge of Rheinland space in Galileo, we were understandably alarmed and will be sending sisters to scout that out soon.

[23.07.2019 22:59:24] [FP12]-Sam.Edwards: to be honest its not my base

[23.07.2019 23:06:24] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "He's unarmed entirely it would seem."
[23.07.2019 23:06:36] GC-Kirisame: So many of these ships pass through ne?
[23.07.2019 23:06:54] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Hand over 2million to me and i'll let you go, sound fair?"
[23.07.2019 23:07:11] [FP12]-Jelly: dosent sound fair for a empty hold
[23.07.2019 23:07:30] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "I think the risk of death makes the price worth it."
[23.07.2019 23:07:33] GC-Kirisame: You got a pretty huge ship though
[23.07.2019 23:07:54] GC-Kirisame: I am sure you can earn it back pretty quickly
[23.07.2019 23:08:03] [FP12]-Jelly: may look huge but alot of empty space on the inside
[23.07.2019 23:08:26] GC-Kirisame: This is why we only ask 2 mil
[23.07.2019 23:08:50] [FP12]-Jelly: but i dont even have that on me all i have is a mill to pick up cargo with
[23.07.2019 23:09:17] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Sounds like you're in trouble then."
[23.07.2019 23:09:54] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "I'll give you another 10 seconds of my time before I tear you apart."
[23.07.2019 23:10:04] GC-Kirisame: 2 mil is a bargain for corporate goons
[23.07.2019 23:10:06] [FP12]-Jelly: im fine also long as i have my hot choclate
[23.07.2019 23:10:21] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Time's up."
[23.07.2019 23:10:25] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Opening fire
[23.07.2019 23:10:25] [FP12]-Jelly: tell my bosses to pay since they have the money
[23.07.2019 23:10:48] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Well that's that."
[23.07.2019 23:12:05] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "You dare capture out sisters?"
[23.07.2019 23:12:09] AlphaWolfLoki: you looking for a fight
[23.07.2019 23:12:40] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Release them immediately and I will spare your life so that you may learn from your insolence. Every pilot."
[23.07.2019 23:13:20] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Running, bad idea."
[23.07.2019 23:13:31] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Opening fire."
[23.07.2019 23:14:38] GC-Kirisame: It is always a pleasure to ee the dance of Hanako
[23.07.2019 23:15:01] GC-Kirisame: You got the prisoners?
[23.07.2019 23:15:09] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Yes, rogues, sisters and hackers."
[23.07.2019 23:15:31] GC-Kirisame: We should inform the rogues we got a few of their people back
[23.07.2019 23:15:57] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Perhaps we should."
[23.07.2019 23:16:05] gf)Erich.Klugmann: I must be out of the loop.
[23.07.2019 23:16:16] gf)Erich.Klugmann: ...Then again, this isn't my usual haunt.
[23.07.2019 23:16:39] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Who might you be, lancer?"
[23.07.2019 23:16:49] gf)Erich.Klugmann: A man who's seen and done perhaps too much.
[23.07.2019 23:17:02] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Sounds very intriguing."
[23.07.2019 23:17:16] GC-Kirisame: I have never seen him before
[23.07.2019 23:17:21] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "A fine taste in ship."
[23.07.2019 23:17:43] GC-Kirisame: So far he has nothing that offends us
[23.07.2019 23:17:56] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Interesting weaponry.. Oh, but he's a pirate."
[23.07.2019 23:18:06] gf)Erich.Klugmann: A "pirate?" Well... Not quite.
[23.07.2019 23:18:18] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Disguising your Transponder as Freelancer to have the element of surprise?"
[23.07.2019 23:18:36] gf)Erich.Klugmann: No, I'm afraid I'm not interested in that kind of existence.
[23.07.2019 23:18:40] GC-Kirisame: Who else than pirates and traders pass through here?
[23.07.2019 23:19:12] gf)Erich.Klugmann: If you must know, I used to lead the Bundschuh Party.
[23.07.2019 23:19:24] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Uh-huh.."
[23.07.2019 23:19:32] GC-Kirisame: Oh a Rheinlander
[23.07.2019 23:19:59] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "I suddenly like him a whole lot less."
[23.07.2019 23:20:03] GC-Kirisame: Most Rheinlanders in Kusari are trouble right now
[23.07.2019 23:20:17] GC-Kirisame: With the war in Honshu and all
[23.07.2019 23:20:19] gf)Erich.Klugmann: As I said, I ~used to.
[23.07.2019 23:20:32] GC-Kirisame: So what do you do now?
[23.07.2019 23:20:34] gf)Erich.Klugmann: It was before this current war.
[23.07.2019 23:20:48] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Why are you here then."
[23.07.2019 23:20:50] gf)Erich.Klugmann: Now? I've been searching for a specific ship.
[23.07.2019 23:21:04] GC-Kirisame: Which one?
[23.07.2019 23:21:10] gf)Erich.Klugmann: I'm specifically here because I was exploring a jump corridor.
[23.07.2019 23:21:27] gf)Erich.Klugmann: It's a heavily-modified Hel-class variant called the Ostara.
[23.07.2019 23:21:35] Death: Mirkha was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[23.07.2019 23:21:47] GC-Kirisame: And you plan to bring this ship to Kusari?
[23.07.2019 23:22:14] gf)Erich.Klugmann: I don't, no. I have little bearing on Kusari whatsoever, I'm afraid.
[23.07.2019 23:22:24] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "My entertainment has waned."
[23.07.2019 23:22:44] GC-Kirisame: Stand down, I like talking to this one
[23.07.2019 23:23:02] gf)Erich.Klugmann: Well, I can show you where I came from, if it's not already in your Nav-charts.
[23.07.2019 23:23:10] GC-Kirisame: I am just curious why he thinks there is a Hel ship here
[23.07.2019 23:23:37] gf)Erich.Klugmann: There's an unstable corridor linking to Bering from here, from the first Rheinland Empire explorations of that area.
[23.07.2019 23:23:55] gf)Erich.Klugmann: I was looking around there. I found one ship, but it wasn't the one I was looking for.
[23.07.2019 23:23:58] GC-Kirisame: Bering is connected to here now?
[23.07.2019 23:24:10] GC-Kirisame: This is pretty concerning
[23.07.2019 23:24:26] gf)Erich.Klugmann: Yes - But I'm afraid any ship larger than a freighter would probably collapse the jump hole.
[23.07.2019 23:24:42] GC-Kirisame: At least that is something
[23.07.2019 23:24:47] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Finding the corridor would be good to highten patrols in the area, but I don't reccomend we explore it."
[23.07.2019 23:25:02] GC-Kirisame: Means they cant bring warships into a two front war
[23.07.2019 23:25:33] gf)Erich.Klugmann: It's at sector 3G in the dark matter storm behind you.
[23.07.2019 23:25:49] gf)Erich.Klugmann: It'll be where I return to, at least, pending our business here...?
[23.07.2019 23:26:21] GC-Kirisame: You can go. You display no hostile presence to the sisterhood
[23.07.2019 23:26:34] gf)Erich.Klugmann: I appreciate your leniency.
[23.07.2019 23:26:41] GC-Kirisame: And you gave us valuable intel
[23.07.2019 23:26:41] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "I shall scout said anomaly, then return home."
[23.07.2019 23:27:41] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "Seems he was telling the truth, an unstable anomaly has shown up on scanners."
[23.07.2019 23:28:18] GC-Kirisame: I dislike it linking Rheinland to us
[23.07.2019 23:28:40] GC-Kirisame: But only low mass ships can pass if he spoke the truth
[23.07.2019 23:28:42] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "As do I, I will inform our sisters to keep an eye on this cloud to ensure they do not pose a threat."
[23.07.2019 23:29:07] GC-Kirisame: So if Rheinland decided to suprise raid us, we can fight them on equal footing
[23.07.2019 23:29:53] GC-Ketsurui: Hanako: "We made quick work of them when they invaded Sigma-59 with warships, we'll make even quicker work here."
