Konnichiwa,

At approximately 0900 Standard Time, I came in contact with a vessel belonging to the newly-declared hostile entity known as the Natio Octavarium. Said vessel was holding position on the trade lane route towards the Saga (Tau-29) jump gate, most likely attempting to disrupt incoming and outgoing trade or supplies from and into the system. Upon a short conversation I engaged the vessel and managed to cripple it and render it harmless as it lost most of its weaponry systems. Unfortunately, the pilot managed to escape and cruise back towards Tau-23, I persued regardless and after a lnog chase I arrived in Tau-44 at what seemed to be the Natio Octavarium main installation. Preliminary analysis indicates that the station is not very defended. A Crayter installation was also present near the entrace of the system.

Relevant data is attached below.

[03.08.2020 12:04:18] NO-F-Jerry.Rawlins: Well, what have we here?
[03.08.2020 12:04:29] NO-F-Jerry.Rawlins: Not what I was looking for, but more what I should be, most likely.
[03.08.2020 12:04:30] [KNF]Tokai-1: What do /we/ have here?
[03.08.2020 12:04:52] [KNF]Tokai-1: You're unneedingly bold with your action, freelancer.
[03.08.2020 12:05:12] [KNF]Tokai-1: Or whatever it is you wish to refer to yourselves as.
[03.08.2020 12:05:50] NO-F-Jerry.Rawlins: Well, orders are orders. Shall we get to it?
[03.08.2020 12:05:55] [KNF]Tokai-1: We shall.
[03.08.2020 12:09:12] [KNF]Tokai-1: Poor thing.
[03.08.2020 12:09:26] NO-F-Jerry.Rawlins: Well, I don't suppose we can talk surrender now, can we?
[03.08.2020 12:09:37] [KNF]Tokai-1: Interest me.
[03.08.2020 12:10:02] NO-F-Jerry.Rawlins: Well, that's better now. We'll have to do this again some time.
[03.08.2020 12:10:13] [KNF]Tokai-1: I do hope you reconsider your actions.
[03.08.2020 12:10:24] NO-F-Jerry.Rawlins: Well, as I said, orders are orders, aren't they?
[03.08.2020 12:10:25] [KNF]Tokai-1: Perhaps next time you wouldn't make a joke of both yourself and whoever you represent.
[03.08.2020 12:10:49] Ship is out of range
[03.08.2020 12:12:59] NO-F-Jerry.Rawlins: Well, I give you credit for not giving up the chase. If you're following me all the way back to Canberra, I'll buy you a drink
[03.08.2020 12:13:16] [KNF]Tokai-1: Canberra?
[03.08.2020 12:13:44] NO-F-Jerry.Rawlins: Canberra Star City. It's a modest place, but everyone needs a place to hang their boots.
[03.08.2020 12:14:07] [KNF]Tokai-1: I see. So this star city you speak of would be your hideout?
[03.08.2020 12:14:23] NO-F-Jerry.Rawlins: I wouldn't call a city in space a hideout.
[03.08.2020 12:15:08] [KNF]Tokai-1: A crayter installation.
[03.08.2020 12:15:47] NO-F-Jerry.Rawlins: Well, it was good fighting with you. We'll have to do this again sometime.
[03.08.2020 12:15:57] [KNF]Tokai-1: I still require that drink.
[03.08.2020 12:15:59] 2020-08-03 12:16:01 SMT Traffic control alert: NO-F-Jerry.Rawlins has requested to dock
