>Konichiwa Elders and Sisters.
>This one is reporting in on current activites of her patrol and interdiction efforts on the bahalf of our Sisterhood.
>For the most part the patrols have been quiet when she has been out in space. It seems to this one more often than not, she encounters many of the KNF's less expereinced pilots and deals with them in the usual manner, depriving them of their ships and freedom. Most of the pilots she recovers she has brought to Ainu to be interogated before they are shiped to either Malta to work what remains of their lives for our Outcast cousins, or given over to The Consortium for what ever Ironwatsas-san does with them.
>Those times she has encountered traders, she has asked for donations to our cause. So far this one has about a 50% sucess rate with her request. Those that have stoped quickly and paid up have been often polite and understanding. Usual range of what they give is between Three Hundred Thousand and upwards of Two Million Credits, depending on teh class of ship that trader is piloting.
>Thos who choose not to donate, it seems they either simply will not use their Comm systems and be polite enough to speak with this one, or they open fire without even listening to her request fully. As yet, only three or four have escaped her wrath when they choose to be rude enough to attempt to do this one harm. The remainder are detroyed and their Cargo taken.
>She does wish to compliment our Blood Dragon Brothers, noteably the one who pilots Kusari's Decline. During one stop where she was forced to destroy a Shetland transport, he was able to aquire a Transport and come collect the remaining Cargo of Ship Hull Panels. This one saw an oppertunity, rather than destroy what she could not take and called on him to come get the Ship parts. At this time they should be in use building more ships for our Brothers and Sisters to fly.

>Now comes the part she does not enjoy reporting on, but feel she must.
>
>Very early yesterday morning this one encountered in Kyushu an Indipendent Outcast Gunboat with the name of K-2(2) pirating the trade lane nearest to the Tau-23. It seemed this K2 did not know who or what the GC are so she stoped and spoke with him for a few moments. She tried to explain that we are allies and that Kyushu was her home but she does not believe he understood or choose to understand.
>A Passing transport did not stop so this one persued him until she caught up to and was able to aquire a 'donation' for the Sisterhood. It was upon returning to the place where she left the strange Outcast that the Incident she is reporting happened and all else after that as well.
>K-2 instantly demanded Two Million credits from this one! She was stunned for a moment and then told him that his attempt to demand money from an ally was very bad form and disrespectful. Rather than do more, she choose to move to the next Trade Lane down from where he was. Rather than leave it, he persued her and demanded credits again. When this one said No, he attacked this ones ship!
>Now, this humble Lady turned and, having been given no choice by this dishonorable pig, she returned fire with all she had including a very well placed SNAC that droped his hull to less than 50%. She was able to remain behind him and fire until his ship broke apart, leaving some captured KNF Pilots and other assorted supplies to be picked up by this one.
>This one believed that was the last of it, but she was proven wrong. K-2 some how had aquired another gunboat and reutrned to Kyushu, apperently with revenge in mind as he attempted to attack this one a second time. Again this one had no choice but to destroy that ship as well, in what she personnaly believes is some of the wrost Gunboat piloting sahe has ever seen. The Gaijin did not even seem to have taken time to aquire the basic needs such as Counter Measures, Shield Batteries or even Nano-bots.
>Once more she left it at that but was proven wrong a third time. He returned only this time he brought help with him. Another Indipendent Outcast with the name of TF@2 or something like that was with him. She tried to explaine to TF that his friend attempted to demand credits from an ally then attacked her not once but twice. Evidently, this one should not have wasted her time as K-2 attacked again as she was trying to talk. TF was distracted for a few moments when a friendly trader paused for a few moments and then quickly departed when this one told the Trader to leave the area.
>Once the Trader left, TF turned his attention back to what was happening, and joined in the attack on this one! One on one this one proved she was far more than a match for K-2, but with his having a Saber to assit, she was not able to take on both of these Gaijin. This one choose to use her knowledge of the area and was able to pull away from both of these treacherous Outcasts and returned home to Ainu for much needed repairs and resupply.
>*Bows slightly* Elders, this one did leave word with a known contact of hers in the Shadow Outcast Brigade,the very fact that some Outcasts choose to not only extort money from an ally but also had no respect or honor and assaulted this one can not be forgiven or allowed to be forgotten. She humbly requests the Elders make contact with the Don's on Malta to deal with this dishonorable action against one of our Sisterhood.
>Thank you for listening to this ones report, Elders.
