Comm ID: [KNF]~Chijin~

The Chijin was scrambled this day from Battleship Matsumoto to assist Captain Nebotuda's Chimaera in Hokkaido.

The Nebotuda reported a contact near Ainu. Contact proved to be a Dragon Gunboat squawking GC ID. The "Ravens Tail" was being engaged by Nebo-san's fighter when the Chijin closed and began to trade fire at short range. Apparently the pilot was not aware of the power of the KNF Gunboat's forward gun, and was rapidly sent packing back to Ainu Depot for repairs.

The Nebotuda broke off at this point to return to the Matsumoto, and I stayed in the area of Ainu to engage other BD and GC miscreants. The Ravens Tail had repaired and reappeared, but engagement was impossible due to a fierce CME from the unstable Hokkaido sun ((Server maint.)).

The Chijin weathered the flare, and once again detected the BD gunboat on scopes. This time, the Ravens Tail was more wary of our forward gun, choosing to maneuver to evade our firepower. However, after a more prolonged engagement, the crew of the Chijin once again was able to seriously damage the GC craft, and returned to duty station Matsumoto after being saluted by the Captain of the Ravens Tail.

This "grasshopper" will be one to watch in future, my brothers. He will not always be such an easy gift for the Emperor.
