Command,
At 2230 hours, we've received orders from S-NGD to prepare the Haruna and depart for Kepler, due to high activity from the Liberty Navy. Arriving at 2250 hours, long range scanners picked up two Liberty Navy battleships and a myriad of smaller craft. They were grouped around one of the anomalies in Kepler.
After establishing contact, we demanded that they provide information about their activity in the system, to which they complied. Data relayed from them presents that the Navy has sent these battleships to research or "harvest" materials from the anomaly.
We hailed them once more at 2310, this time demanding them to leave for Ames or further down to the Liberty border whilst calling in reinforcements. This was refused by them, as they stated that they are only researching the anomaly, however they departed shortly after as their attempts at gathering anomaly information failed.
Lastly, it is of note that in the vicinity of the anomaly, a Nomad warform was present, however it made no contact and maintainted a safe distance.

[07.11.2021 20:51:20] OS&C|TE~Red~Velvet~Club: Cait: hmm this Hellhole is Pretty Populare as it semse.
[07.11.2021 20:51:29] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: To keep on trying.
[07.11.2021 20:51:43] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: What in the...
[07.11.2021 20:51:50] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: The arrival of a nomad signifies the arrival of more. It is not wise to stay here.
[07.11.2021 20:51:51] Meeker: "Throwing slurs at one another does not solve the issue of an existing Alien Lifeform within the area."
[07.11.2021 20:51:52] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: Naval forces?
[07.11.2021 20:51:57] A/)-Revenant: ... More and more.
[07.11.2021 20:52:10] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: A Naval Forces Battlecruiser.
[07.11.2021 20:52:12] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: RO: Battlecruiser Haruna hailing Liberty Navy forces. Please respond.
[07.11.2021 20:52:33] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: This is Battleship Akhetaten of the Liberty Navy Fifth Fleet.
[07.11.2021 20:52:38] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: This is Commodore Harrow aboard the Cataclysm, we receive your hail, Haruna.
[07.11.2021 20:53:00] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: I'll be brief. What's the meaning behind sending such large warships close to the border?
[07.11.2021 20:53:18] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: There's your meaning.
[07.11.2021 20:53:23] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: Or are you dumb as Uhmen.
[07.11.2021 20:53:34] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: I do not believe we're anywhere near Kusari on our current position.
[07.11.2021 20:53:44] A/)-Revenant: You're on their side of the border.
[07.11.2021 20:53:51] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: A small warform is of little danger, pilot. And you are indeed on our side.
[07.11.2021 20:54:00] Meeker: "It isn't necessary to insult a Kusari Naval Forces Commander who had just arrived to the situation."
[07.11.2021 20:54:24] Meeker: "Doing so really, really proves your short temper."
[07.11.2021 20:54:29] Death: :|B|:|Rose.Sombre suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[07.11.2021 20:54:56] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Do not receive any of Bennet's statements as viable or reliant-upon.
[07.11.2021 20:55:05] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: The only thing he represents here is his very own stupidity.
[07.11.2021 20:55:12] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: Investigating the site of alarming nomad activity as of late. Something that concerns us both.
[07.11.2021 20:55:12] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Back to our matter.
[07.11.2021 20:55:17] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: We know better than to take random pilots' knowledge into account.
[07.11.2021 20:55:22] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: That's what we are doing here.
[07.11.2021 20:55:30] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: I have not seen any Kusari Naval Forces investigating the various phenomena that have been taking place in-
[07.11.2021 20:55:32] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: -the system.
[07.11.2021 20:55:32] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: A random pilot, neat.
[07.11.2021 20:55:47] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: Go back and deal with the women that are beating your asses.
[07.11.2021 20:55:48] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: So, the Navy is investing such phenomena using... battleships?
[07.11.2021 20:56:01] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Using appropriate vessels for the task, I would say.
[07.11.2021 20:56:06] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: The size of the nomad warforms in this area warrant it.
[07.11.2021 20:56:06] Meeker: "The ways of the Liberty Navy are questionable, at best."
[07.11.2021 20:56:43] A/)-Revenant: Using the aliens as an excuse to spy on the border.
[07.11.2021 20:56:49] A/)-Revenant: What a terrible shame indeed.
[07.11.2021 20:56:49] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: I might have a different aproach droid, but my loyalties still stand with Liberty.
[07.11.2021 20:56:57] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: We are not interfering with Kusari and it's directives outside or inside this system.
[07.11.2021 20:57:07] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: I believe you are.
[07.11.2021 20:57:16] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: Standing... on our side of the border.
[07.11.2021 20:57:16] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: Even if me and Uhmen don't agree. I'll fight by her side and heed her call at any moment.
[07.11.2021 20:57:19] A/)-Revenant: A little suspicious that they did not send any communications regarding 'mutual threats' - hm?
[07.11.2021 20:57:25] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Haruna-actual, I did not place this anomaly here.
[07.11.2021 20:57:38] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: And as I've mentioned, the Naval Forces have not shown any interest in helping out identifying it.
[07.11.2021 20:57:42] A/)-Revenant: Sending soldiers and captains to stare at an anomaly.
[07.11.2021 20:57:44] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: -Somebody- has to do it.
[07.11.2021 20:57:45] A/)-Revenant: Very convincing.
[07.11.2021 20:57:59] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: You can believe whatever you want, Haruna. The question is. What will you do about it.
[07.11.2021 20:58:01] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: If we wished to spy upon your House you would never know we did it.
[07.11.2021 20:58:08] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: Because it is of no use. Battleships are not made to investigate phenomena which have no meaning behind them.
[07.11.2021 20:58:13] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: And you can count on that, Haruna.
[07.11.2021 20:58:22] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: Threatening, eh?
[07.11.2021 20:58:32] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: You do not know, nor will you ever know, the purposes or the directives of the Akhetaten.
[07.11.2021 20:58:35] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: A question. Clearly you're here to argue, not listen.
[07.11.2021 20:58:39] A/)-Revenant: If you believed there was a threat, why have you not informed the Kusarian authority.
[07.11.2021 20:58:46] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: So what will you do.
[07.11.2021 20:58:50] A/)-Revenant: Questionable intentions.
[07.11.2021 20:59:26] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: If the Kusarian authority were half as smart , they'd know what transpired here last time.
[07.11.2021 20:59:51] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: Bennet, such childish behavior is not warranted hre.
[07.11.2021 20:59:53] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: You come to our side of the border, pretend to be researching, threaten us and then attempt to maintain authority?
[07.11.2021 21:00:07] Rusty.Old.Screw: How cute.
[07.11.2021 21:00:11] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: Harrow keep your mouth quiet.
[07.11.2021 21:00:19] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: If I were to threaten you, I'd be shooting at you.
[07.11.2021 21:00:26] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Pardon me if I am wrong, but I believe we weren't the ones who started having 'an attitude', Haruna.
[07.11.2021 21:00:31] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: Let Uhmen handle this.
[07.11.2021 21:00:33] Rusty.Old.Screw: And you would not do anything about Auxesian you have on your own state bounty board, Bennet?
[07.11.2021 21:00:46] A/)-Revenant: We're on the Kusari side of the border.
[07.11.2021 21:00:47] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: We are merely building based on the foundations you set.
[07.11.2021 21:00:57] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: This is merely for gaining information. As I have clearly stated, you are on our side of the border, therefore we must
[07.11.2021 21:01:00] Rusty.Old.Screw: For your information, Haruna.
[07.11.2021 21:01:01] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: -know what happens here.
[07.11.2021 21:01:06] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: I did not pick the anomaly's location, and I am not willing to leave it to your incompetent hands to deal with..
[07.11.2021 21:01:10] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: We have already answered your question, Haruna.
[07.11.2021 21:01:14] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: I believe that explanation suffices.
[07.11.2021 21:01:16] Rusty.Old.Screw: Those people were conducting research on how to use those anomalies as a jumphole.
[07.11.2021 21:01:21] Rusty.Old.Screw: To gods know where.
[07.11.2021 21:01:21] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: Do with that information, what you will.
[07.11.2021 21:01:40] Rusty.Old.Screw: And the Auxesian here has the price tag on her head for cooperating with alien entities.
[07.11.2021 21:01:43] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: It seems Silverstone gets it better than the Naval Forces captain does.
[07.11.2021 21:01:49] Rusty.Old.Screw: You can check the official Liberty board yourself.
[07.11.2021 21:01:55] A/)-Revenant: Too bad we're not in Liberty.
[07.11.2021 21:01:57] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: I will insist. Return to Ames, or further to the Liberty border, captains.
[07.11.2021 21:02:10] Rusty.Old.Screw: As to where they'd be trying to jump via those three shiny things - you can guess.
[07.11.2021 21:02:23] Nenet:Mido: Always the radiation bath.
[07.11.2021 21:02:25] Rusty.Old.Screw: The main weirdo is missing those. Vincent Abrams, aka "Ridge".
[07.11.2021 21:02:32] 2021-11-07 21:02:32 SMT : LNS-Cataclysm is attempting to disconnect from the server
[07.11.2021 21:02:41] Rusty.Old.Screw: Now if you don't mind. *Flips weaponry.*
[07.11.2021 21:02:48] Rusty.Old.Screw: Suppose i'll do their jobs for them.
[07.11.2021 21:02:56] A/)-Revenant: Hm.
[07.11.2021 21:03:09] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: I don't assume you expect us to start hunting down snubcraft.
[07.11.2021 21:03:10] A/)-Revenant: How does the saying go...
[07.11.2021 21:03:43] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: I'll repeat. Head to Ames.
[07.11.2021 21:04:06] Rusty.Old.Screw: Great, it is fleeing.
[07.11.2021 21:04:11] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: This anomaly will not be left alone.
[07.11.2021 21:04:18] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: I've been on the other side.
[07.11.2021 21:04:25] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Our scans are not complete.
[07.11.2021 21:04:29] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: So like it or not, we are here to stay.
[07.11.2021 21:04:36] Rusty.Old.Screw: The next thing is that particular ship having a new capitan, Haruna.
[07.11.2021 21:04:39] Rusty.Old.Screw: The Akenhaten.
[07.11.2021 21:04:52] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: I do not care what the anomaly's meaning is. I am here just to direct the firepower here to another location.
[07.11.2021 21:04:55] Rusty.Old.Screw: The pervious one used this place for negotiations with The Order representative.
[07.11.2021 21:05:02] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: Negative.
[07.11.2021 21:05:21] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: I will not keep you from staying in the vicinity to confirm that we have nothing to do with Kusari here.
[07.11.2021 21:05:35] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: But we also will not be leaving this place.
[07.11.2021 21:05:51] Surprise!: So, what did I miss? Border conflicts?
[07.11.2021 21:05:53] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: Very well. Shikoku garrisson has been informed. Expect reinforcements.
[07.11.2021 21:05:55] A/)-Revenant: Mhm.
[07.11.2021 21:05:59] [KNF]IKN-Nagato: ugh
[07.11.2021 21:06:00] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: Reinforcements?
[07.11.2021 21:06:02] Rusty.Old.Screw: Means they disrespect whatever agreements you had before, KNF.
[07.11.2021 21:06:12] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: You're not listening to reason Haruna.
[07.11.2021 21:06:15] Rusty.Old.Screw: To the point where they don't give a damn for your lawful requests.
[07.11.2021 21:06:18] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: There are no active treaties between Liberty and Kusari.
[07.11.2021 21:07:20] Rusty.Old.Screw: It did not learn the lesson, huh.
[07.11.2021 21:07:28] K'Hara|Bashmu: [A brief burst of energy can be seen surging from the creature's core to its extremities.]
[07.11.2021 21:07:48] A/)-Revenant: [Silently, they locked onto the Rusty, moving in discreetly. ]
[07.11.2021 21:07:51] Death: Nightlight was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[07.11.2021 21:07:54] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: The only active treaties at the moment are the Treaty of Curacao, the Bretonian Armed Forces Tech Exchange, and-
[07.11.2021 21:07:56] A/)-Revenant: How about a little Surprise, hmm?
[07.11.2021 21:08:01] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: -the Rheinland-Liberty peace treaty.
[07.11.2021 21:08:03] A/)-Revenant: Five million to fly with me.
[07.11.2021 21:08:08] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: You clearly do not know what you're talking about.
[07.11.2021 21:08:08] Surprise!: Simple enough. You hit Raven, I hit you.
[07.11.2021 21:08:22] Surprise!: Well, the saying goes.
[07.11.2021 21:08:27] Surprise!: Fuck around and find out.
[07.11.2021 21:08:35] Surprise!: You'll find out right now.
[07.11.2021 21:08:39] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: Our systems are back online.
[07.11.2021 21:08:48] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Welcome back, Harrow.
[07.11.2021 21:08:54] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: We'll say it one last time. Head to Ames, and if you are in need of researching the anomaly, contact High Command.
[07.11.2021 21:08:55] Surprise!: Guns up to defend.
[07.11.2021 21:09:00] CONSOLE: Base Starflier Base is under attack by K'Hara|Bashmu!
[07.11.2021 21:09:05] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: I firmly believe that an arragement can be made.
[07.11.2021 21:10:36] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: I'd suggest reason Haruna, you're in no position to wage war on us.
[07.11.2021 21:10:47] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: We are not going to be risking the safety of Liberty just because you felt like showing up in a system you clearly do-
[07.11.2021 21:10:49] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: -not care about.
[07.11.2021 21:10:53] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: This is far from war. Merely a border issue.
[07.11.2021 21:11:02] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: That being said, our scans seem to be completely fruitless out here.
[07.11.2021 21:11:07] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: Attacking the Akhetaten, might have its consequences.
[07.11.2021 21:11:28] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: Pilot, nobody mentioned conflict.
[07.11.2021 21:11:39] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: You actually called in reinforcments.
[07.11.2021 21:11:52] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: In my experience, that means only one thing.
[07.11.2021 21:11:56] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: We will be heading back to Liberty. Any scans on the anomaly yield nothing.
[07.11.2021 21:12:01] LNS-Cataclysm: Harrow: Bennet, a lone battlecruiser calling in reinforcements is hardly an act of hostility.
[07.11.2021 21:12:08] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Perhaps the anomaly needs to be scanned during it's more active periods.
[07.11.2021 21:12:21] 46th|Dayvon.Bennet: Anyone attacking Liberty is considered hostile in my books Harrow.
[07.11.2021 21:12:23] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Hopefully you'll be around by that time, Haruna.
[07.11.2021 21:12:26] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: Thank you. Proceed at once. This is a closed matter, then.
[07.11.2021 21:12:35] 5th|LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Maybe some thick-head on the Naval Forces will believe our story after all.

Konbanwa,
Today I report in with an unusual matter.
At first sight, there was nothing out of order with the Crayterian transport me and a KOI agent encountered in the Honshu system, however upon closer inspection the vessel was flashing transponder codes we have only seen on vessels belonging to the notorious terror organization, the Order.
The Captain in question attempted to describe the whole matter as an accident he was not aware of. This is dubious, to say at least. We let them off the hook and trailed behind them. They moored at Roppongi to adjust their transponder codes, far, far too swiftly in my eyes.
There is something oddly suspicious going on either with this exact vessel or Crayterians in general. We might let them traverse Kusari space once again, but we should be wary in my honest opinion.

Reporting in,
At 1940 hours we departed Shikoku, bound for Galileo due to reports of unusual activity in the region. At 2016 hours, scanners picked up two contacts; an AI vessel and a larger, Gallic battlecruiser, that were stationary.
Upon initiating contact, we were answered vaguely by a certain "Commodore de Lorraine". Detailed scans, several moments after, revealed the warship carried Nomad armament and materials.
At 2020 hours, combat was initiated. One of our escorts was destoyed, however the pilot rescued by nearby units. Gallic contact was subsequently destroyed, after attempting to escape via Colorado, at 2025 hours.
[15.11.2021 20:18:13] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: CIC: Haruna to unknown contact. You are ordered to cut your engines.
[15.11.2021 20:18:30] Mirande-[Fae: ?: What do you need, kusarian? Its neutral space.
[15.11.2021 20:18:57] L-36[Horizon]: <Statement:> Kusarians. The ones that shared many songs. <Query:> Why do they strike?
[15.11.2021 20:19:07] =KUI=Azuri: We have a Gallic ship here.
[15.11.2021 20:19:10] Mirande-[Fae: ?: Have no idea, my metall friend.
[15.11.2021 20:19:16] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: This is the Captain speaking. Hold position. That's an order.
[15.11.2021 20:19:24] [KNF]'Onamazu': Neutral space. Hm. Weird. I doubt either side sharing jurisdiction here wants to see a Gallic warships around.
[15.11.2021 20:19:29] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: CIC: Get a throught scan.
[15.11.2021 20:19:31] Mirande-[Fae: ?: Merde, what do you need?
[15.11.2021 20:19:36] [KNF]'Onamazu': So that "oh but neutral space" excuse won't do.
[15.11.2021 20:19:44] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: Whom am I speaking to?

Hail,
At 1800 hours, we received orders from Battleship Sado to depart for the Arch, with a directive to reinforce patrols to and from the installation.
Approximately 15 minutes afterwards, a small Blood Dragon contingent, consisting of 2 bombers and a battleship, appeared from the Nampo Cloud. The crew was promptly sent to battlestations and prepare for looming battle.
Unfortunately, due to our position, only small craft were able to assist us, coming directly from Battleship Sado. Despite being outnumbered, we managed to inflict critical damage to all of the Blood Dragon ships, whilst, in turn, taking significant damage to the engine section of our cruiser.
The IKN Ibaraki is currently moored at the Arch, awaiting repairs and resupplying. Should there be a need for further operations, inform us in the shortest time.

Konbanwa,
We departed Honshu at 1730 hours and headed to Sigma-13, after receiving reports of a large-scale incursion from the Rheinland Military. Upon arrival, we discovered only 2 Rheinland vessels, a Military snubcraft, callsign Romeo Two, accompanied by a Kruger frigate, callsign KTS Jager. There were also 2 GMG ships, a fighter flown by the GMG pilot Rebecca Harper and a gunboat, callsign Kani Maru.
During this incident, IKN Haruna maintained a distance of 4 clicks from the battle, until all contacts were confirmed as disabled and/or routed. While unclear thus far what the real goal the operation was, information gathered after the conclusion of the skirmish hints to a possible attempt by Kruger to once more cause damage to the GMG installations within Sigma-13, aided by overzealous pilots of the Rheinland Military.
Scans, alongside the data shared to us on-the-spot by GMG operatives, have shown that the Kruger ship carried nuclear devices and a number of other armaments; all data from the scans can be directly corroborated with the discussions between GMG operatives and IKN Haruna at the moment of the incident, leading to the assumption that the rumours regarding a Kruger attack are correct.
We are currently stationed in the vicinity of the Sigma-13 Jump Gate, within Honshu, and have dispatched our fighter wings nearby and in the adjacent system for patrols. In the case of other incursions, and should the Guild require heavy warship support, we will aid them.
I will be expecting further orders on how to proceed. All the evidence of this incident is attached below. Long live the Emperor!
[19.02.2022 18:20:59] GMG|Kani.Maru: It seems we have been attacked
[19.02.2022 18:21:05] GMG|Kani.Maru: Helping Rebecca, weapons are hot!
[19.02.2022 18:21:11] GMG|Kani.Maru: Dispose the attacking ship!
[19.02.2022 18:21:17] Kruger|KTS-Jager: we are under attack!
[19.02.2022 18:21:19] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: CIC: This is Battlecruiser Haruna, Battlegroup Hamamatsu. We order all ships to cease fire.
[19.02.2022 18:21:58] GMG|Rebecca.Harper: Negative Haruna actual, Guild vessels are enforcing Guild law, do not interfere.
[19.02.2022 18:22:27] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: RO: Haruna receiving transmission. Please disable the disobeying vessels.

[19.02.2022 18:27:35] GMG|Rebecca.Harper: Romeo-Two, disengage and return to Rheinland or you will be shot down.
[19.02.2022 18:27:50] GMG|Rebecca.Harper: Fine then, resuming engagement. [19.02.2022 18:27:58] [RM]Romeo-Two was put out of action by GMG|Rebecca.Harper (Gun).

[19.02.2022 18:30:11] GMG|Rebecca.Harper: They then proceeded to try and plant Nuclear Devices around Helgoland under the false pretense of suffering malfunctions.
[19.02.2022 18:30:13] GMG|Kani.Maru: That Kruger was definitely armed with gunboat weaponry, scans showed it was a civilian frigate
[19.02.2022 18:30:27] GMG|Rebecca.Harper: Mainly to the cargo bay and engine areas.
[19.02.2022 18:30:31] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: Have they mentioned such, Harper?
[19.02.2022 18:30:49] GMG|Rebecca.Harper: Haruna Actual, scan my cargo hold.

[19.02.2022 18:31:27] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: RO: Scan complete. Confirming nuclear devices. We will be storing the images.
[19.02.2022 18:32:06] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: Indeed so. Most worrisome. Are you able to forward the incident logs to the Naval Forces' Honshu Naval Command?
[19.02.2022 18:32:44] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: Akihiro: I believe the Goverment will be interested in such, and rightfully so.
[19.02.2022 18:32:54] GMG|Rebecca.Harper: First we will have to inform the Guildmaster and our Commander.
[19.02.2022 18:33:06] GMG|Rebecca.Harper: After that the choice of how we proceed next is below us.

To the attention of the NOH and all Naval Forces Pilots.
Following a spike in captures of various mid- to high-profile criminals and an unusual high amount of traitorous elements detected within State authorities or Keiretsu elements, special prisoner transfers are now to be handled by Naval Forces units to bolster State Police capacities.
Prisoners will be picked up from Fukuoka Border Station, then transported by the 'Kakunodate', a vessel specifically tailored for this task, to Fuchu Prison.
All Naval Forces units are obligated to heed this vessels call for aid, unless they are pre-occupied in combat scenarios. All vessels pilots refusing aid will be put under strict surveillance and can talk about luck if they not to end up on the 'Kakunodate' as special guests. Fines and other less strict punishments may occur.
In order to provide an example of a smooth operation, one such transfer including 281 prisoners was conducted today purely by Tokubetsu-keibi-tai forces.
Among the 281 transferred prisoners were:
36 subjects found guilty of treason.
87 subjects of Outcast origin.
7 subjects of Gallic origin found guilty of espionage.
1 subject found guilty of high-treason.
60 subjects found guilty of sabotage acts against the Keiretsu.
[04.06.2022 13:06:46] [KNF]'Onamazu': Kakunodate actual, we're assigned as your escort today.
[04.06.2022 13:06:58] [KNF]'Kakunodate': This is the Kakunodate, Tokkeitai Division, Kusari Naval Forces. We are ready to continue to our next waypoint.
[04.06.2022 13:07:20] [KNF]'Kakunodate': We are headed to Fuchu Prison with an important transfer of criminals. The escort is appreciated.
[04.06.2022 13:07:35] [KNF]'Onamazu': Assuming position.
[04.06.2022 13:07:39] [KNF]'Onamazu': Let us proceed.
[04.06.2022 13:08:59] [KNF]'Onamazu': Keep your scanners on maximum until we reach Shinjuku. This is the riskier part.
[04.06.2022 13:09:18] [KNF]'Kakunodate': Acknowledged. All clear thus far.
[04.06.2022 13:10:00] [KNF]'Onamazu': Let's hope it stays like this. I am sure this Gaijin bastards are keen on getting their boss back.
[04.06.2022 13:11:12] [KNF]'Onamazu': Shinjuku passed. Ah, a Dragon.
[04.06.2022 13:11:19] [KNF]'Onamazu': A rookie.
[04.06.2022 13:11:23] [KNF]'Onamazu': We may proceed.
[04.06.2022 13:11:42] [KNF]'Kakunodate': Contact fleeing. Resuming flight procedures to New Tokyo high orbit.
[04.06.2022 13:14:21] [KNF]'Kakunodate': Planet Junyo orbit clear. Assuming position near convoy sector. We are charting a waypoint to Fuchu Prison.
[04.06.2022 13:15:03] [KNF]'Onamazu': So far everything clear, though experience suggests this can change rapidly.
[04.06.2022 13:15:55] [KNF]'Onamazu': Over twenty clicks to Junyo orbit, roughly thirty clicks to the Myoko.
[04.06.2022 13:16:01] [KNF]'Kakunodate': Police Convoy is in our vicinity. We are forming up with it for additional protection.
[04.06.2022 13:16:03] [KNF]'Onamazu': The most dangerous passage.
[04.06.2022 13:16:06] [KNF]'Kakunodate': Remain in formation.
[04.06.2022 13:16:18] [KNF]'Onamazu': Good timing on the State Police.
[04.06.2022 13:16:24] [KNF]'Onamazu': Additional forces are most welcomed.
[04.06.2022 13:17:14] [KNF]'Onamazu': Fuchu in sight.
[04.06.2022 13:17:32] [KNF]'Kakunodate': We have reached Fuchu Prison. Initiating mooring procedures shortly.
[04.06.2022 13:18:23] [KNF]'Kakunodate': Thank you for the escort. Kakunodake over and out.
[04.06.2022 13:18:31] [KNF]'Onamazu': That's what we're here for.
[04.06.2022 13:18:32] 2022-06-04 13:18:32 SMT Traffic control alert: [KNF]'Kakunodate' has requested to dock
For Kusari, her people and the Emperor.
- 'Onamazu'
Today, 14th of July, 829 A.S. I'm reporting to you my readiness for service after a medical leave following the events of the Battle of Languedoc towards the end of Operation Kazan, followed by a duration of instructing in the academy on Fort Wakkanai. I've been examined by the medical team on the Fort and have been cleared for active duty.
What's the situation of the Sixty-Sixth? Who is the current CO and when can I expect to be briefed about the latest operations since my leave? Unless, of course, you have other plans for me. Am I to retain my position in the Advanced Battlegroup or am I to be assigned to a different position?
Following your medical departure, the CO position of the Sixty-Sixth was handed around multiple times.
Unfortunately, no candidate performed as desired. I was temporarily put in charge following a shift in peace time doctrines among other parts of the Naval Forces command chain.
Wakkanai's medical team informed me about your potential return to active duty. High command was always satisfied with your performance, so you are to return to the Sixty-Sixth. Additionally, you are hereby offered to serve as acting CO once more.
During your absence, a multitude of later on abandoned operations were called to life. Some of them were later on transferred to the Naval Intelligence wings instead. You will find the sole currently active operation attached below.
For the Empire,
66th Special Expeditionary Battlegroup

Akagi Command, Nagasaki escort forces speaking.
We became witness of an independent slaver stopped by a Kusari State Police officer, in direct proximity to Roppongi today. The vessel under the callsign William.Dampier, upon thorough pressure applied by having the Akagi's cannons aimed at their cockpit, admitted to work under contract for the Outcasts. Approximately 2.500 people were stuffed into their transport of borderworld origin, an absolute disgraceful sight.
Following their pledge to be guilty of assisting the Outcasts directly, they attempted to flee. The vessel was disposed of swiftly, although with utmost care to spare the captives lives. Unfortunately, the Slaver escaped in a pod as we put utmost priority on rescuing the civilians. 2416 people were temporarily transferred to Roppongi station and from there on to various medical institutions on New Tokyo. Out of these people, around 250 are still at the risk of losing their lives. Approximately 56 individuals did not survive the disabling of the vessel.
The vast majority of these civilians appears to be of Libertorian origin and shall be transferred back to their home systems once their conditions permit it.
In regards to the escaped slaver, I encourage and hope for a swift listing of the individual as wanted within Kusari space for acts of slavery and assisting outlawed organizations on the Imperial contract board as soon as possible. Additionally, it should be noted that the Freelancer Garmr assisted the State Police vessel to stop the slaver and was rewarded by us accordingly.
