Our most recent encounter with Defilers did not go well. Their raiding party has appeared in Shikoku and promptly engaged the Kusari Naval Forces. Our arrival was was not well timed, as the bloodshed already begun. The casualties were numerous, but they were the necessary evil - the Defilers have retreated, uncovering an Anomaly deep within the Saiun Cloud. A passage to their home system has been discovered, but also - more mysteries. A never-ending battle of two factions within the system - The Defilers and the Pioneers. While the primal source of their hatred is unknown, we do know that arrival of Kusari fleet shifted the balance greatly in favor of the Pioneers, forcing us to react. Our sympathies have been shown towards the Defilers, and with a promise of everlasting gratitude, we have started a business deal.
Furthermore, I am reporting on a successful hit on two targets. The first encounter happened as I received a call to arms from Professor Hunter. As I arrived to the scene, she was surrounded by three lapdogs. The engagement was imminent, resulting in death of two officers - one exterminated by Professor, one by me. The second hit was ordered by Professor Yoshida as he was threatened by a Pirate vessel in Kansas, taking his cut off the miners. The assassination was a success.
My last last patrol has resulted in extortion of a corporate vessel, an Universal Shipping Mastodon. It was my third attempt of his extortion, as during both of the first two I had been attacked by a Liberty Security Force agent and a Navy pilot. As they say, third time is a charm.
