While we were escorting the Orbital Spa & Cruise convoy through Honshu, an Outcast Warship appeared on our tails and it seemed like it was trying to find a suitable location to ambush them. Unlucky that he got caught in the act.
Zuikaku was notified and immediately plotted a course to our location. While stalling the warship and preventing it from fleeing the scene, it had the nerve to insult the capability of our 'Takeda' class destroyers.
As soon as Zuikaku arrived, the Outcast knew he was in trouble and became aggressive. Both the Shokaku and Zuikaku returned fire and unleashed hell upon it, making use of the enemy warship's lack of agility. Within minutes, it was blown up and destroyed before it could cause any major damage around Kusari.
The Outcast made a mistake underestimating the power of the Takeda and certainly paid a huge price for it. With his life that is.

[12.06.2021 13:00:05] SC-Shokaku: CO: Don't run away.
[12.06.2021 13:00:16] GS|MNS-Castrovillari: Giovanni: We wouldn't do so ever!
[12.06.2021 13:01:26] GS|MNS-Castrovillari: Giovanni: Are you going to stop us with an old cruiser?
[12.06.2021 13:01:37] SC-Shokaku: CO: Old? You underestimate the power of Kusari tech.
[12.06.2021 13:01:58] GS|MNS-Castrovillari: Giovanni: I know well what you are capable of.
[12.06.2021 13:02:14] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: What's going on here, Shokaku?
[12.06.2021 13:02:30] SC-Shokaku: CO: Well this sniffer called our ship old and incompetent.
[12.06.2021 13:02:57] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: Shall we show him that he is wrong?
[12.06.2021 13:03:07] GS|MNS-Castrovillari: Giovanni: You may try.
[12.06.2021 13:03:12] SC-Shokaku: CO: Let's prove him wrong.
[12.06.2021 13:03:26] GS|MNS-Castrovillari: Giovanni: Crew, to stations! Fire at will.
[12.06.2021 13:03:37] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: Charging in
[12.06.2021 13:03:46] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: For the Emperor

DATE: 14/09/828 A.S SUBJECT: Clash with a Blood Dragon Cruiser in Tottori
Having returned from Sigma-63 after some time spent establishing the first colony, "Zuiryu" returned to its side duty of assisting the law enforcement in Kusari. On our trip to the Tottori system to investigate the newly arrived OSC vessel "Maldives" and its safety we encountered a Blood Dragons war vessel "Kamiziumi". The vessel was of a cruiser or equivalent class. In an attempt to avert a hostility possibly detrimental to Tokai station in the vicinity of which the encounter took place, I made a request that the Dragons vessel took the distance of at least 15 clicks. The Dragon initially complied yet consciously violated the distance subsequently resulting in "Zuiryu" taking action. In short close-range combat, the Dragons vessel was disabled. The fight occurred at a distance of 13-14 clicks from Tokai station and I consider it to be safe from the collateral damage and the debris.
The log of the encounter is attached below.
In eternal servitude to His Imperial Majesty and the Empire of Kusari,
Koushaku Shimamori
[14.09.2021 02:20:26] Kamiizumi: Sakura: Wow...
[14.09.2021 02:21:12] Zuiryu: Shimamori: a dragon capital vessel near lawful objects.
[14.09.2021 02:21:31] Zuiryu: Shimamori: we will be lenient on you - leave 15 clikcs away and yo uare left to your own business
[14.09.2021 02:21:55] Kamiizumi: Sakura: I never saw the police with a destroyer before. This is quite rare.
[14.09.2021 02:23:13] Zuiryu: Shimamori: this is a Shimamori clan vessel rendering militia services to the state
[14.09.2021 02:23:34] Zuiryu: Shimamori: we assist the police in their job of upholding the peace and stability of the Empire
[14.09.2021 02:23:53] Zuiryu: Shimamori: which is why I would re-iterate the request to take a distance of 15 clicks
[14.09.2021 02:24:05] Kamiizumi: Sakura: Shimamori clan... Never heard about you.
[14.09.2021 02:24:30] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I will not be warmongering where the conflict can be avoided. Yet the security of imperial assets are the priority
[14.09.2021 02:25:02] Kamiizumi: Sakura: Samura can go to hell.
[14.09.2021 02:25:16] Kamiizumi: Sakura: And everything else.
[14.09.2021 02:25:16] Zuiryu: Shimamori: no wonder, we are a smaller clan from Honshu.
[14.09.2021 02:25:37] Zuiryu: Shimamori: your stance towards Samura is of no importance. Take distance or we will take measures
[14.09.2021 02:26:07] Kamiizumi: Sakura: It is not your clan who will order the Hayazaki-Clan.
[14.09.2021 02:26:32] Zuiryu: Shimamori: there were no orders here but requests. So be it
[14.09.2021 02:26:41] Zuiryu: Shimamori: we gave you enough time to take distance
[14.09.2021 02:26:53] Zuiryu: Shimamori: in the spirit of peace
[14.09.2021 02:27:13] Zuiryu: Shimamori: your willful ignoring the request will result in us performing our duty to the Empire
[14.09.2021 02:27:33] Kamiizumi: Ichigo: Bullshit.
[14.09.2021 02:27:58] Zuiryu: Shimamori: what a peculiar name. Don't tell me you are called "strawberry"
[14.09.2021 02:28:24] Kamiizumi: Ichigo: I did not say my name.
[14.09.2021 02:28:37] Zuiryu: Shimamori: good, I can see 15 clicks
[14.09.2021 02:28:43] Zuiryu: Shimamori: keep it that way
[14.09.2021 02:29:00] Zuiryu: //ok, sorry. I thought the prefix before speech means identification
[14.09.2021 02:29:42] Zuiryu: Shimamori: keep distance, dragon.
[14.09.2021 02:29:42] Kamiizumi: Ichigo: Sakura, I say we destroy this one. | Sakura: Alright.
[14.09.2021 02:29:49] Kamiizumi: Ichigo: FIRE!
[14.09.2021 02:29:56] Zuiryu: Shimamori: so be it.

Subject: Three Golden Chrysanthemums put down
Konnichiwa!
So today, it is my official first report within the clan. Sorry to take my personal one...
Today, some hours earlier, three GC were sitting in Honshu for traders as we thought Shimamori-san and I. Shimamori-san told me that: You're allowed to open fire at will. That's what I did and they were put down.
[29.11.2021 18:31:30] Zuiryu: somewhere here. I believe
[29.11.2021 18:32:01] Yuki.Sinon: ...
[29.11.2021 18:32:11] Suzuki.Himari: Konnichiwa
[29.11.2021 18:32:30] Zuiryu: Shimamori: seems like someone is "sitting on the lanes"
[29.11.2021 18:32:39] GC-Serizawa.Aina: It sure does.
[29.11.2021 18:32:43] Suzuki.Himari: Indeed
[29.11.2021 18:32:52] Zuiryu: Shimamori: move away, would you? You are scraing off the poor traders
[29.11.2021 18:33:03] GC-Serizawa.Aina: Negative.
[29.11.2021 18:33:23] Zuiryu: Shimamori: then we will have to forcefully move you. I assume, you understand that
[29.11.2021 18:33:33] GC-Serizawa.Aina: As usual, yes.
[29.11.2021 18:33:43] Yuki.Sinon: Well.. It smells a fight coming ahead.
[29.11.2021 18:33:45] Suzuki.Himari: Why does this not suprise me
[29.11.2021 18:33:52] Zuiryu: Shimamori: well, I still give you a chance.
[29.11.2021 18:34:10] Zuiryu: Shimamori: as long as you linger somewhere I can tolerate your wayward kind
[29.11.2021 18:34:28] Zuiryu: Shimamori: but preying on the innocent civilians - you dishonour our House
[29.11.2021 18:35:22] Zuiryu: Shimamori: fine, Sinon-san. Please, see our guests out
[29.11.2021 18:35:25] GC-Serizawa.Aina: I would not call this preying. It is for a good cause.
[29.11.2021 18:35:36] Zuiryu: Shimamori: your cause is anything but good
[29.11.2021 18:35:52] Yuki.Sinon: Sure. I can try to make them run away...
[29.11.2021 18:35:54] Zuiryu: Shimamori: and your moduss operandi is yet another proof of that
[29.11.2021 18:35:54] GC-Serizawa.Aina: It is, you just haven't come to realize it yet.
[29.11.2021 18:35:54] Suzuki.Himari: Wanting equal rights is bad how again?
[29.11.2021 18:36:20] Zuiryu: Shimamori: trying to achieve equal rights by terrorist and violence will not lead you anywhere
[29.11.2021 18:36:39] GC-Serizawa.Aina: Please, do suggest another way.
[29.11.2021 18:36:39] Zuiryu: Shimamori: besides, Matsuda herself wanted to change patriarchy to matriarchy. Call that "equal"
[29.11.2021 18:36:43] GC-Serizawa.Aina: We will be waiting.
[29.11.2021 18:37:01] Zuiryu: Shimamori: lobbyism, policy making
[29.11.2021 18:37:09] Zuiryu: Shimamori: same as all other Houses do
[29.11.2021 18:37:17] GC-Serizawa.Aina: Yeah, which did not work for us.
[29.11.2021 18:37:40] Zuiryu: Shimamori: well, if they do not work for you but for everyone else, then maybe you are the problem
[29.11.2021 18:37:50] Zuiryu: Shimamori: simple observation
[29.11.2021 18:38:07] GC-Serizawa.Aina: And how do you know it works for everyine else?
[29.11.2021 18:38:23] Yuki.Sinon: Well... what's the plan Shimamori-san?
[29.11.2021 18:38:29] Zuiryu: Shimamori: besides, the GC do not actually promote freedom for women. You literally force yourself into slavery
[29.11.2021 18:38:40] Zuiryu: Shimamori: to the Cardamine, and therefore - to the outcasts
[29.11.2021 18:38:51] Zuiryu: Shimamori: indeed, a nice prospect for any young woman
[29.11.2021 18:39:15] Zuiryu: Shimamori: a sane one would opt for career building, or education. Or in dire situation - emigration
[29.11.2021 18:39:31] Zuiryu: Shimamori: but become an ostracised drug-addict? Solid plan
[29.11.2021 18:39:41] Zuiryu: Shimamori: you can engage them at will, Sinon-san
[29.11.2021 18:39:45] GC-Serizawa.Aina: Our relationships with the outcasts has nothing to do with the fact that this system is wrong and in need of change.
[29.11.2021 18:40:00] A bounty pool worth $48.000 credits for 1 kill has been deposited in your account.
[29.11.2021 18:40:04] Yuki.Sinon: Alright. I will dance with Suzuki at first.
[29.11.2021 18:40:06] Zuiryu: Shimamori: it has everything to do with how you address the problem
[29.11.2021 18:40:10] Yuki.Sinon: Weapons hot.
[29.11.2021 18:40:28] Yuki.Sinon: Let's dance.
[29.11.2021 18:40:31] Suzuki.Himari: Weapons hot
[29.11.2021 18:40:33] Zuiryu: Shimamori: by engaging into drug trade and slavery you literally push off the majority of our society
[29.11.2021 18:40:34] GC-Serizawa.Aina: Alright, preparing to engage.
[29.11.2021 18:40:36] Suzuki.Himari: Engaging
[29.11.2021 18:40:48] Zuiryu: Shimamori: if that is how you seek popularity, that is fine by me
[29.11.2021 18:41:09] Zuiryu: Shimamori: 2 on 1. Not fair
[29.11.2021 18:41:29] Death: Suzuki.Himari was put out of action by Zuiryu (Gun).
[29.11.2021 18:41:38] GC-Serizawa.Aina: Make it a 1 on 1.
[29.11.2021 18:41:50] Zuiryu: Shimamori: already did
[29.11.2021 18:43:12] Aki: Observing situation
[29.11.2021 18:43:29] Death: Express-Ship was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[29.11.2021 18:43:41] Death: GC-Serizawa.Aina suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
[29.11.2021 18:43:57] Zuiryu: Shimamori: splendid job. Sinon-san
[29.11.2021 18:44:02] Yuki.Sinon: Thanks.
[29.11.2021 18:44:10] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I finally manage to see your combat experience in the field
[29.11.2021 18:44:23] Yuki.Sinon: And another one...
[29.11.2021 18:44:26] Aki: Looks like our sister has failed
[29.11.2021 18:44:41] Yuki.Sinon: Want to dance or you pass?
[29.11.2021 18:44:45] Zuiryu: Shimamori: hey, Crysanthemum. Would you simply leave? Enough blood has been spilled
[29.11.2021 18:45:04] Aki: I can let my sister die in vain
[29.11.2021 18:45:11] Zuiryu: Shimamori: that one has many prisoners. Would be good to relieve them of their fate
[29.11.2021 18:45:13] Aki: Cannot do that
[29.11.2021 18:45:29] Yuki.Sinon: Then you will dance.
[29.11.2021 18:45:36] Aki: Freelancer I have no intentions with you
[29.11.2021 18:45:52] Aki: Let me take care of this devil
[29.11.2021 18:45:55] Zuiryu: Shimamori: this is a retainer in the employ of Clan Shimamori;
[29.11.2021 18:45:57] Yuki.Sinon: I am working as guard.
[29.11.2021 18:46:08] Yuki.Sinon: So you will meet me first.
[29.11.2021 18:46:15] Zuiryu: Shimamori: hence, the freelancer has all the credentials to police here
[29.11.2021 18:46:19] Aki: Then you will me no choice
[29.11.2021 18:46:27] Aki: Powering up weapons
[29.11.2021 18:46:34] Yuki.Sinon: Good!
[29.11.2021 18:50:19] Death: Aki was put out of action by Yuki.Sinon (Gun).
[29.11.2021 18:50:32] Yuki.Sinon: Alright!
[29.11.2021 18:50:48] Zuiryu: Shimamori: excellent job! Tell me not to cross your way *chuckles*
[29.11.2021 18:51:03] Zuiryu: Shimamori: your trainers must be proud of your skill and prowess
[29.11.2021 18:51:09] Yuki.Sinon: I will need to dock somewhere.
[29.11.2021 18:51:25] Zuiryu: Shimamori: let us go to Honshu
Today "Zuiryu" ventured on an exploration mission into deeper Omicrons to charter possible new rifts and to triangulate the position of the already observed from Kusari systems. We departed from Honshu and through Shizuoka (Sigma-21) we made a swift jump through Sigma-15 into Omicron Rho. Sigma-15 is claimed by Rheinland and has an established colony and thus we stayed far away from the Rheinland sphere of influence to avoid unnecessary attention and not to alert the locals. Similarly, we traversed through Omicron Rho into Omicron Minor. The system is a graveyard, apparently, with many derelict ships of all sizes. We did not manage to establish what the battle was and who were the combatants. Most of the hulls resembled badly damaged ships of older Core designs, the others were resembling Libertarian ships, possibly Order. The decision was made not to linger in the system and venture forth. The next jump led us to the Omicron Nu system - previously not visited by the crew under my command.
The system originally appeared as a regular deeper Omicron space with outcrops of green nebulae. Our scanners picked up the frequencies of an installation not very far from the jumphole, the IFF indicating it was a zoner station. "Zuiryu" hailed the station and we approached the safe distance on the one hand to have the access to the supplies in case of necessity but far enough not to alert the zoners (who are generally fringing upon larger ships approaching their installations) and to allow us to carry out stellar observations. Upon completion thereof, we made a small reconnaissance flight around the system and found a terrestrial planet surrounded by ancient debris, allegedly of Libertarian design, and an inconspicuous gas giant. The debris looked old and perhaps related to some battle or a disaster. The fact that there were only ships of Libertairan design prompted our analysts to believe that whatever happened there happened to Libertarians alone, or their rival was so capable that it inflicted a disastrous defeat upon a huge fleet of Libertarians without suffering any losses or having covered them up afterwards. Regardless, there is nothing in Libertarian history books resembling even to the slightest degree a battle of such scale that would take such a long time ago. We are still to analyse the age of that debris meticulously but preliminary estimations give the age of 300 years. The only notable event in the history of Liberty that took place at that time and could possibly be related to the debris is the infamous Dallas Incident, but whether there is a relation or not is yet to be proven.
Our presence in the system, apparently, alerted the locally stationed Libertarian forces. After not quite long presence in the system we were spotted and hailed by an LSF cruiser, and later on an Liberty Navy warship. To the merit of the Libertarians, the officers in charge were very civil and not living up to the brass stereotypes about the Liberty Navy commonly found on the Neural Net. The LSF vessel captain inquired about our identifications, the route that we used to get into the system, and the purpose of our presence. Naturally, we replied with reciprocal courtesy and provided the Libertarians with all the information sought. What was peculiar, however, was that the Libertarians continuously tried to convince us to remove all the chartering data about the system. With no valid legal grounds behind their requests, they had to be satisfied with our "no". Nevertheless, I decided to withdraw "Zuiryu" from the system to avert further unease. The Libertarians also insisted that we have a medical check-up of all personnel following the visit to Omicron Nu. My only guess is that there is some contamination in the system, possibly an infectious disease akin to what the reports about the situation in Tohoku claim. If so, Omicron Nu is better not to be visited for the time being, or in the presence of a medical support vessel.
Having left Omicron Nu, "Zuiryu" was followed by an unidentified object, presumably an autonomous drone. It certainly was sentient and artificial but the scanning did not reveal its relatedness to any known factions' ship lines. We managed to establish contact with the entity in question using both binary code and verbal communication, however, the feedback in the binary code proved to be too complex to be analysed in situ. Our questions mostly remained unanswered as the entity insisted upon our encroaching on its space and demanded our speedy departure. While the hull of such an interesting object could be of great interest to the academics back on Honshu, I did not have the gut to engage in hostilities with a sentient entity of unknown origin. We have no idea what we were dealing with and how potent (or not) it was. And so we decided to leave peacefully leaving the entity to itself. Besides, I would not like to have the dubious honour of portraying our species as warmongers. The vessel in question lost interest in our ship after Omicron Rho and we safely returned back to Honshu using the previous itinerary.
The logs of both encounters are attached below.
In eternal service to His Imperial Majesty and the Empire of Kusari,
Koushaku Shimamori
[29.12.2021 01:56:37] Zuiryu: Shimamori: hail, LSF vessel
[29.12.2021 01:56:44] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: Wainwright to Takeda-class Cruiser - hold your engines and respond.
[29.12.2021 01:57:36] Zuiryu: Shimamori: we are not going to use weapons, do not worry. Libertarian
[29.12.2021 01:58:03] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: We will initiate a scan, after which the operative in charge of the vessel will commence communications. Remain in position
[29.12.2021 01:58:35] Zuiryu: Shimamori: feel free to, we shall await
[29.12.2021 01:58:45] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: Cargo scan confirmed as completed. Switching broadcasting channels.
[29.12.2021 02:00:01] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: Operative Nighthawk speaking. We'll be brief with the questions. Once done, we will discuss the safety and other matters-
[29.12.2021 02:00:05] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: -related to your vessel.
[29.12.2021 02:00:56] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: N: First. Whom are we speaking to? Second. How did the Takeda-class Cruiser reach this system? Third. What is the status of the
[29.12.2021 02:00:58] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: -vessel?
[29.12.2021 02:01:14] Zuiryu: Shimamori: no problem, operative. Or should I refer to you as officer.
[29.12.2021 02:01:40] Zuiryu: Shimamori: this is marquess Shimamori Masahito of Nakashibetsu, Honshu speaking.
[29.12.2021 02:02:00] Zuiryu: Shimamori: we got into the system through deeper Omicrons in the process of charting the stellar maps
[29.12.2021 02:02:30] Zuiryu: Shimamori: the status of the vessel is nominal with no deviations
[29.12.2021 02:02:57] Zuiryu: Shimamori: as you might infer from the mentioned information, we are here for the charting and surveying purposes
[29.12.2021 02:03:30] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: N: Copy that. I have another question, however, concerning your identification. The Takeda is displaying the normal KPI IFF-
[29.12.2021 02:03:54] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: -nevertheless, does it act as an independent unit?
[29.12.2021 02:04:21] Zuiryu: Shimamori: as a member of Kusari nobility, we take on the responsibility of aiding the local forces in Honshu
[29.12.2021 02:04:49] Zuiryu: Shimamori: hence, for convenience matter, we use KSP IFF for ease of dealing with perpetrators or with the law enforcement
[29.12.2021 02:05:04] Zuiryu: Shimamori: hence, we are indeed acting as an independent vessel
[29.12.2021 02:05:59] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: N: Understood. All the required information has been received. I will continue now by proposing several plans for evacuation
[29.12.2021 02:06:07] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: -and or retreat from this system.
[29.12.2021 02:07:09] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: N: Plan I: Escort via a nearby system. For reasons of national security, we will have to board the vessel and delete-
[29.12.2021 02:07:14] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: -the information regarding this system.
[29.12.2021 02:07:39] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: N: Plan II: Evacuation via Omicron Minor, however with the same procedure of guarding data.
[29.12.2021 02:08:19] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: N: We will grant you the option to choose, however it is of utmost importance that once back in Kusari, the crew goes under-
[29.12.2021 02:08:32] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: -examination due to the high presence of Nomads in the Omicrons.
[29.12.2021 02:08:32] Zuiryu: Shimamori: with all due respect, officer, this system according to the stellar law this system is not part of Liberty
[29.12.2021 02:08:56] Zuiryu: Shimamori: hence, your jurisdiction over the discharche of such enforcement measures is overreached
[29.12.2021 02:09:20] Zuiryu: Shimamori: we will gladly leave the system, however, as it appears there is little of interest here for us
[29.12.2021 02:09:26] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: N: I'll put it in another, more understandable way. We have interests here and are forced to guard the system. I believe that-
[29.12.2021 02:09:35] Zuiryu: Shimamori: except for triangulating the stellar data
[29.12.2021 02:10:00] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: -if you have already charted this system, you have noticed the unusually high amount of wrecks and relics from the past-
[29.12.2021 02:10:04] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: centuries.
[29.12.2021 02:10:48] Zuiryu: Shimamori: it is indeed peculiar, although we are not vested well enough in Libertarian history to suggest the reason
[29.12.2021 02:11:21] Zuiryu: Shimamori: however, the interest of a state usually is declared publicly. Such as stellar claims
[29.12.2021 02:11:30] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: N: I will insist on, at the very least, leaving the mentioned areas uncharted. It is crucial for the security of Liberty.
[29.12.2021 02:11:47] Zuiryu: Shimamori; without such public claims, extension of justice in this system is a violation of the interstellar law.
[29.12.2021 02:12:14] Zuiryu: Shimamori: then Liberty has to declare this zone of limits.
[29.12.2021 02:12:31] Zuiryu: Shimamori: then and only then your suggestion of boarding and data expropriation with have a justified reason
[29.12.2021 02:13:03] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I am still fine with leaving the system, but I doubt that a few derelict ships and two barren planets ...
[29.12.2021 02:13:11] Zuiryu: Shimamori: are of grave importance to be deleted
[29.12.2021 02:13:48] Zuiryu: Shimamori: just like in any other Omicron system they might or might not have value. Which usually is overexaggerated anyway
[29.12.2021 02:14:05] Zuiryu: Shimamori: a drone. Peculiar. We heard of these
[29.12.2021 02:14:16] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I thought they were a myth, however
[29.12.2021 02:14:28] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: N: Very well, in that case. We'll keep an eye out for any other threats. Do you propose we go ahead with the second proposal-
[29.12.2021 02:14:34] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: -then?
[29.12.2021 02:15:08] Zuiryu: Shimamori: indeed so. We will be leaving back through Omicron Minor for deeper Sigmas
[29.12.2021 02:15:29] Zuiryu: Shimamori: our triangulation is complete. Perhaps, we will make a stop in a lower Omicron
[29.12.2021 02:15:49] Zuiryu: Shimamori: setting course for Omicron Minor jumphole
[29.12.2021 02:15:52] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: N: I will insist on crew examinations, however. Good luck.
[29.12.2021 02:16:16] Zuiryu: Shimamori: we understand your precautions. We did not dock any objects, however.
[29.12.2021 02:16:22] 46th|LNS-Anchorage: Kemp-Smith: Fort Wainwright actual, good evening to you.
[29.12.2021 02:16:45] Zuiryu: Shimamori: nevertheless, we undergo medical examination after every flight. So be assured, all crew will be monitored
[29.12.2021 02:17:08] Zuiryu: Shimamori: greetings, Liberty Navy vessel
[29.12.2021 02:17:11] =LSF=Fort.Wainwright: RO: Wainwright to Anchorage-actual - we will transfer critical information over secure channel.
[29.12.2021 02:17:20] Zuiryu: Shimamori: and farewell, we are leaving already
[29.12.2021 02:17:20] 46th|LNS-Anchorage: Kemp-Smith: Greetings, Kusarian.
[29.12.2021 02:27:55] Zuiryu: Shimamori: again this AI vessel
[29.12.2021 02:28:09] Zuiryu: Shimamori: it appears to be observing us
[29.12.2021 02:28:40] Zuiryu: Shimamori: let us try to hail it and see what happens
[29.12.2021 02:28:57] Zuiryu: *sending hail message in binary code*
[29.12.2021 02:29:20] Zuiryu: Shimamori: binary code is the simplest form of information representation. Let's see if it works
[29.12.2021 02:29:58] EX-001: *Then, an answer with a complex binary code was been received.*
[29.12.2021 02:30:51] Zuiryu: Shimamori: so the binary code works. That is peculiar. Its reply is also in binary code but is too large to process fast
[29.12.2021 02:31:19] EX-001: ::: Pathetic :::
[29.12.2021 02:31:24] Zuiryu: Shimamori: let us try the voice communication. *sends hailing voice comm in Kusarian*
[29.12.2021 02:32:24] Zuiryu: Shimamori: no reply, but apparently it was not impressed by us
[29.12.2021 02:32:43] Zuiryu: Shimamori: hmm, take a few good scans of the vessel and let us proceed to our destination
[29.12.2021 02:33:43] Zuiryu: Shimamori: as long as it does not take hostile actions, let us not act rashly, shall we?
[29.12.2021 02:35:14] Zuiryu: Shimamori: it seems to be following us but without attempts to communicate.
[29.12.2021 02:35:27] Zuiryu: Shimamori: perhaps, it is an observation drone of some sort
[29.12.2021 02:36:12] Zuiryu: Shimamori: let us try to tinker with it a bit more.
[29.12.2021 02:36:30] Zuiryu: *sends the star map with presumed location of Omicron Lost jumphole*
[29.12.2021 02:37:38] Zuiryu: Shimamori: prepare to jump. So far no reaction or hampering from the drone
[29.12.2021 02:38:27] EX-001: ::: State purpose :::
[29.12.2021 02:38:51] Zuiryu: Shimamori: oh, look. It is communicating in a comprehensible manner
[29.12.2021 02:39:22] Zuiryu: Shimamori: this vessel is hailing from Kusari, we are on an exploratory mission
[29.12.2021 02:39:39] Zuiryu: Shimamori: a reciprocative request: what are you?
[29.12.2021 02:39:59] EX-001: ::: Cut your engine, primitive organic life form :::
[29.12.2021 02:40:58] Zuiryu: Shimamori: let us try to comply. If it acts rushly, we will see to our defences
[29.12.2021 02:41:38] EX-001: ::: First, you are not allowed... in this void. Return where, you came from :::
[29.12.2021 02:42:07] Zuiryu: Shimamori: it appears to be territorial. Perhaps, indeed the information about them being some guardians was correct
[29.12.2021 02:42:34] Zuiryu: Shimamori: there is also an installation nearby triggering same IFF response
[29.12.2021 02:42:45] Zuiryu: Shimamori: perhaps, this is the reason of sudden hostility
[29.12.2021 02:42:58] EX-001: ::: Return :::
[29.12.2021 02:42:59] Zuiryu: Shimamori: *replies* fine. We are leaving, then.
[29.12.2021 02:43:33] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I would rather not take a responsibility of triggering some ancient defence systems
[29.12.2021 02:43:58] Zuiryu: Shimamori: or posing humanity as aggressors to understudied sentient species
[29.12.2021 02:45:45] Zuiryu: Shimamori: what are you, though?
[29.12.2021 02:45:57] Zuiryu: Shimamori: or would you rather kept silent?
[29.12.2021 02:46:49] EX-001: ::: Your kind, named us: Artificial Intelligence :::
[29.12.2021 02:47:21] Zuiryu: Shimamori: well, that is something already. Since you are artificial as you said, you must have a creator
[29.12.2021 02:47:28] Zuiryu: Shimamori: who created you?
[29.12.2021 02:47:52] EX-001: *Silence from the machine*
[29.12.2021 02:48:24] Zuiryu: Shimamori: perhaps, we have requested some restricted information
[29.12.2021 02:48:31] Zuiryu: Shimamori; what are your goals, machine?
[29.12.2021 02:48:48] EX-001: *Again a silence.*
[29.12.2021 02:50:11] Zuiryu: Shimamori: well, perhaps that will remain a mystery
[29.12.2021 02:50:21] Zuiryu: Shimamori: drone, what is the purpose of your following us?
[29.12.2021 02:50:54] EX-001: ::: Making sure you leave :::
[29.12.2021 02:51:22] Zuiryu: Shimamori: do you consider this your space? If so, where are the boundaries?
[29.12.2021 02:51:38] Zuiryu: Shimamori: lest you want more of our kind violate your "borders"
[29.12.2021 02:52:25] EX-001: :::: Omicrons, Omega and Sigmas are our territories ::::
[29.12.2021 02:52:50] Zuiryu: Shimamori: oh, it is familiar with our stellar navigation naming conventions
[29.12.2021 02:53:13] Zuiryu: Shimamori: well, drone. Mind, that Omicrons are not ours to claim. But not in all Sigmas you would be welcome
[29.12.2021 02:53:45] EX-001: ::: Better using ''primitive language'' to interact with primitive life forms :::
[29.12.2021 02:54:42] Zuiryu: Shimamir: it calls us "primitives". Hmm, perhaps it thinks so because of comparison with its creator
[29.12.2021 02:55:00] Zuiryu: Shimamori: which, perhaps, was more advanced then us. Where is it, then?
[29.12.2021 02:55:23] Zuiryu: Shimamori: could it be that the artefacts and the ruins scattered all across the Omicrons are the legacy of its creator?
[29.12.2021 02:55:48] Zuiryu: Shimamori: then it might be old indeed. If it shows aggression, we need to do the radio-carbon analysis of its hull
This is Yury Bolotin with a report on the situation that happened yesterday in the Shikoku system. During my patrol, the so called Gen'an Chrysanthemums approached trade lane near the planet Seto. GC's forces consisted of three "Iris" VHFs, a hired freelancer "Sabre" VHF, and a hired pirate "Montante" gunship. They blocked the trade lane and ambushed a fighter beloning to the Kusari Office of Intelligence. There were no negotiations, they opened fire at KOI ship. I understood the suicidal nature of my attack, but I expected that we would hold out until reinforcements from the planet Junyo will arrive, so I joined the battle.
The moment of ejection
The fight quickly flared up and also quickly went out. There were too many of them. The fire of the gunboat was directed at KOI ship, my Sabre was under fire from three GCs. Looking back on it now, I think I should have focused on the evasive maneuvers to buy some time. Instead, when I realized the Freelancer is doing the same, I charged into one of the chasing Chrysanthemums. I swear I saw her jumping out of her skin when I drained all of Irises shield in one pass. However, her friends didn't let me finish her off - one of them landed a continuous burst into the back of my fighter. A fire started in the main engine compartment. The flame did not break down, and the automatic system could not help without turning off the engine, which would be tantamount to death. I glanced to the long-range scanner, where the green marks began to appear, and decided to eject. The Kusari Office of Intelligence operative also lost a ship. Both of us were lucky to survive until reinforcements have arrived. They drove the criminals deep into the system and picked up our rescue pods. My ship was found - almost all armor plating has to be replaced, as well as the main engine. But I think it's light enough damage for such a fight. Find attached all the data I gathered, please consider persecution of those two sympathizers.

[13.01.2022 00:38:02] =KUI=Kabegami: Fine.

[13.01.2022 00:38:34] Heineken: Aye
[13.01.2022 00:42:43] Heineken: Well, this is no fun if I have to stand down.
[13.01.2022 00:42:49] Heineken: Good luck GC's!
[13.01.2022 00:42:59] GC-Furutani.Izanami: Heineken, you really have good guns on your arsenal, mind if I ask ?
[13.01.2022 00:43:03] Death: SC-SlaveLabor was put out of action by GC-Matsumoto.Akira (Gun).
Interception
The good news is that I evened the losses before that fight. I used the opportunity to continue working on the official Kusari bounty boards which was kindly given to me by Shimamori-san. I intercepted two GC VHFs near the Saiun Cloud, who were in a hurry to join the main group preparing for the attack, as I now know. I have provided confirmation of their destruction on the official Kusari Empire bounty board. Here I am also providing raw guncam footage for internal use. I would describe Gen'an Chrysanthemums as fickle: in one situation they support some concept of honorable duels, in another they attack like bandits from the shadows. They are organized and undoubtedly dangerous in large numbers, but individually do not pose a serious threat. I hope that we will get rid of this criminals as soon as possible. I will do my best for this.
Yury out.

DATE: 21/03/829 A.S SUBJECT: Provocation of the Gallic Navy in Rishiri (Tau-53)
A disturbing turn of events I could observe today. During the routine movement of "Zuiryu" through the system of Rishiri a signature of the Gallic Union Navy was detected. It was no less but a "Valor"-equivalent battleship-class vessel with a powerful forward cannon capable of inflicting unspeakable damage as we know from the results of the Gallic invasion into Sirius. The vessel in question without any introduction demanded us to vacate the system. Me being a supporter of peaceful policy towards all the neighbouring Houses, I was ready to come to a compromise by leaving the system on condition that the Gallic vessel would assume a safe distance from the civilian objects and would promise not to endanger any objects belonging to the Empire. Nonetheless, my suggestion was met on the deaf ear with accusations of the Empire of Kusari and subsequent discharge of energy blasts towards Matsumoto battlegroup and the civilian stations. I still tried to reason with the Gallic captain invoking my role in the recent Kusari-Gallia war and my advocacy for peace. Yet again, any aspirations of mine to resolve the incident peacefully were not met with understanding. Our last hopes to deter the Gallic vessel from escalating the conflict waned after we intercepted its order to attack "Zuiryu" directly followed by energy projectiles barrage. To protect the civilian infrastructure and curb hostile actions against the allied vessels of the KNF, we were forced to reply with force and successfully so. After a long fight, we managed to cripple and disable the Gallic warship. The nearby stations were informed of the outcome of the battle in order to take care of the survivors and either return them to Gallia or charge will trespassing. "Zuiryu" sustained light damage and was repaired at Asahikawa Outpost, requiring mostly outer hull refurbishing.
The log of the encounter is attached below.
Such incidents were predicted after the end of the war but I expected more integrity and logic from the Gauls, albeit I understand and relate to their sentiments. Violence, however, is not an answer and we must look attentively at such incidents to develop a robust diplomatic strategy preventing them from happening in the future. I will also take action to investigate the scope of the warmongering among the Gallic Navy in the border systems before making a report to the government. It might have been an exception, or it might have been an indicator of the already growing revanchism in the circles of the Gallic Union Navy that de facto controls the new administration of Gallia. Regardless of the conclusion, the Imperial Cabinet shall be informed of the developments.
In eternal servitude to His Imperial Majesty and the Empire of Kusari,
Koushaku Shimamori Masahito

[21.03.2022 07:57:40] Zuiryu: Shimamori: attention, Gallic vessel. Your presence in the system is against the standing agreement between Kusari and Gallia

[21.03.2022 07:59:18] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I was the one who opposed the invasion of Gallia and did all in my power to gather support against it

[21.03.2022 08:00:34] Zuiryu: Shimamori: the Matsumoto battlegroup is holding the line. Nothing prevents you from assuming safe distance
[21.03.2022 08:01:00] Zuiryu: Shimamori: your further warmongering will force our hands
[21.03.2022 08:01:19] Zuiryu: Shimamori: take safe distance towards teh jumphole to Gallia and we will leave you be

[21.03.2022 08:01:33] [GN]GNS-Devastation: we are restoring order
[21.03.2022 08:01:46] Zuiryu: Shimamori: your behaviour right now is but another provocation
[21.03.2022 08:01:57] Zuiryu: Shimamori: mind, that our two states shared the system
[21.03.2022 08:02:13] Zuiryu: Shimamori: so "restoration of order" makes no sense per se
[21.03.2022 08:02:45] [GN]GNS-Devastation: C: Continue the defensive action, target the smaller one as well
[21.03.2022 08:02:56] Zuiryu: Shimamori: so be it. Kougegi shiyo
[21.03.2022 08:28:56] Death: [GN]GNS-Devastation was put out of action by Zuiryu (Gun).
DATE: 04/04/829 A.S SUBJECT: Mystery with KSP officer Minato
During our travels throughout Kusari and aiding the law enforcement in their job we have encountered on multiple occasions a KSP gunboat piloted by officer Minato. The keikan (//police officer) was most helpful during many fights against the GC and diligently carried out his duty. After one of our patrols, I had an opportunity to talk to officer Minato and this conversation was accompanied by rather disturbing anomalies, so to say.
It is quite common among the KSP officers to discuss their experience with criminals. By the time of the conversation in question, we had had multiple discussions of the GC with officer Minato. This time I mentioned the Blood Dragons and the officer's communication was disrupted by some interferences. Suspicious of possible pressure on the officer by the crew, I cautiously inquired if his loyalty was being tested and that I, not being a member of KSP, would show utmost understanding. This inquiry led to further interferences and quaint remarks by officer Minato, such as "I have done nothing wrong", or "I am sure of that" [his loyalty to Kusari], as well as stumbling on words and repeating phrases to himself as if re-assuring of something. Minato-san also mentioned some "they" whoever this pronoun might refer to. I am unsure of what is going on with the officer. It might be anything: psychological pressure from blackmailing by, say, Blood Dragons forcing the officer to work for them, simple burn-out and resulting psychological problems, or something completely different up to alien infection. In particular, the keikan mentioned that a significant part of his crew was replaced by an AI as the result of the shortage of staff following the war against Gallia. This is but one of the many negative ramifications of the war and perhaps impacts the capacity of the officer to communicate with the others either because of technical issues or because of the rogue AI trying to enforce its will on the vessel captain (although this is still unlikely).
I will keep monitoring the officer should I encounter him. Keep your eyes on him too. Such developments are mysterious and I have no idea what to expect of them. The logs of the encounter are attached.
In eternal servitude to His Imperial Majesty and the Empire of Kusari,
Koushaku Shimamori Masahito
[02.04.2022 22:54:42] Minato_Takahashi: Konnichiwa
[02.04.2022 22:54:58] Zuiryu: Shimamori: konnichiwa again. That was one crazy zoner
[02.04.2022 22:55:11] Minato_Takahashi: Hmm, usually Zoners are pretty peaceful
[02.04.2022 22:55:12] Zuiryu: Shimamori: we had to take his cruiser-like class vessel down
[02.04.2022 22:55:24] Zuiryu: Shimamori: usually, this is why that one was crazy
[02.04.2022 22:55:42] Minato_Takahashi: Hmm, it has been getting strange...
[02.04.2022 22:55:54] Zuiryu: Shimamori: he ignored our requests to turn his vessels to Sigmas and kept pushing for New Tokyo
[02.04.2022 22:56:08] Zuiryu: Shimamori: be got him after the jumphole and had to take him down
[02.04.2022 22:56:21] Zuiryu: Shimamori: ah, Sinon-san. Odaiji ni
[02.04.2022 22:56:27] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I hope you are getting better
[02.04.2022 22:56:35] Zuiryu: Shimamori: konnichiwa! Welcome to Kusari. Enjoy your stay or transit.
[02.04.2022 22:56:39] Minato_Takahashi: Konnichiwa Sinon
[02.04.2022 22:56:49] Zuiryu: Shimamori: please, proceed, zoner vessel
[02.04.2022 22:56:49] Yuki.Sinon: I am a bit not used to the protheses...
[02.04.2022 22:57:12] Zuiryu: Shimamori: so, keikan (//police officer), you were saying about the Blood Dragons
[02.04.2022 22:57:17] Minato_Takahashi: Hai
[02.04.2022 22:57:20] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I haven't seen them much recently
[02.04.2022 22:57:38] Zuiryu: Shimamori: it would be enlightening to hear the updates on the group
[02.04.2022 22:57:39] Minato_Takahashi: There have been two appearances
[02.04.2022 22:58:04] PJ-888: #Hello both. I'm a Zoner on my way to Planet New Tokyo. May I proceed in peace?
[02.04.2022 22:58:05] Minato_Takahashi: One in Shikoku that I fought with my fighter and one in northern Tokyo
[02.04.2022 22:58:22] Yuki.Sinon: You were told yes.
[02.04.2022 22:58:23] Minato_Takahashi: Konnichiwa trader, mind submitting to a scan?
[02.04.2022 22:58:35] PJ-888: Go ahead
[02.04.2022 22:58:38] Yuki.Sinon: I scanned the ship.
[02.04.2022 22:58:41] Minato_Takahashi: You have nothing that concerns me
[02.04.2022 22:58:42] Minato_Takahashi: Good day
[02.04.2022 22:58:47] Zuiryu: Shimamori: enjoy your day
[02.04.2022 22:58:50] Minato_Takahashi: You are clear to proceed
[02.04.2022 22:59:11] PJ-888: Thank you. I will return soon.
[02.04.2022 22:59:26] Zuiryu: Shimamori: the Blood Dragons in Shikoku are seen more rarely than in other systems
[02.04.2022 22:59:49] Zuiryu: Shimamori: after all, the system is distant from their stronghold somewhere beyond Hokkaido
[02.04.2022 23:00:28] Minato_Takahashi: Hai, that one was codenamed "Kageshini" and had mounted a missle instead of a cruise disruptor
[02.04.2022 23:00:46] Yuki.Sinon: Wow, I am back from the hospital bed and when I am in space, we talk about criminals...
[02.04.2022 23:00:47] Minato_Takahashi: I was beaten back but he could not pursue
[02.04.2022 23:01:25] Minato_Takahashi: '....
[02.04.2022 23:01:49] Minato_Takahashi: That is true
[02.04.2022 23:01:52] Minato_Takahashi: My apologies
[02.04.2022 23:01:53] Zuiryu: Shimamori: that is the reality, Sinon-san. Unfortunately, Kusari always has issues
[02.04.2022 23:02:16] Zuiryu: Shimamori: do not worry, keikan. Your service is appreciated regardless of the outcome
[02.04.2022 23:02:35] PJ-888: Hi. I am ready for a scan.
[02.04.2022 23:02:37] Zuiryu: Shimamori: greetings again, zoner vessel. Your cargo looks in order
[02.04.2022 23:02:43] Minato_Takahashi: Scanning
[02.04.2022 23:02:49] Minato_Takahashi: You are all clear
[02.04.2022 23:03:04] Zuiryu: Shimamori: supplying a base, I presume?
[02.04.2022 23:03:15] PJ-888: Many thanks. Sorry about that!!.
[02.04.2022 23:03:50] PJ-888: Yes I am supplying Haven in Galileo. A Zoner trading post.
[02.04.2022 23:04:14] Zuiryu: Shimamori: may I know your name, officer? It would be more polite to address you
[02.04.2022 23:04:30] Minato_Takahashi: Minato, sir
[02.04.2022 23:04:31] Zuiryu: Shimamori: acknowledged, zoner vessel. Safe skies to you. Construction is always good
[02.04.2022 23:04:44] Zuiryu: Shimamori: yoroshiku onegaishimasu, Minato-san.
[02.04.2022 23:05:04] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I am marquess Shimamori of Nakashibetsu, Honshu. But there is no need for formalities
[02.04.2022 23:05:32] Zuiryu: Shimamori: last time we spoke about the dragons, Minato-san, you had some interferences.
[02.04.2022 23:05:40] Zuiryu: Shimamori: is your vessel fine?
[02.04.2022 23:05:51] Minato_Takahashi: What are you talking about?
[02.04.2022 23:05:54] Zuiryu: Shimamori: or do you need assistance with repairs?
[02.04.2022 23:06:00] Minato_Takahashi: I ~Connection cuts~ I dont remember anything...
[02.04.2022 23:06:06] Minato_Takahashi: There is nothing wrong
[02.04.2022 23:06:10] Minato_Takahashi: Anyways
[02.04.2022 23:06:18] Zuiryu: Shimamori: do you get this too, Sinon-san?
[02.04.2022 23:06:55] Minato_Takahashi: Hmm
[02.04.2022 23:06:58] Minato_Takahashi: No respone
[02.04.2022 23:06:59] Yuki.Sinon: I have no idea about what you are talking about. I was on a hospital bed for several days.
[02.04.2022 23:07:31] Zuiryu: Shimamori: she is just out in the field after a serious incident
[02.04.2022 23:07:43] Zuiryu: Shimamori: so we should give her a slack
[02.04.2022 23:07:45] Minato_Takahashi: So I have heard
[02.04.2022 23:08:10] Zuiryu: Shimamori: her last encounter with a GC ended in majority of her limbs cut after the ship's failure
[02.04.2022 23:08:21] Zuiryu: Shimamori: getting used to prosthetics needs time
[02.04.2022 23:09:02] Minato_Takahashi: Hai, I have heard the same
[02.04.2022 23:09:09] Zuiryu: Shimamori: it was by the hands of the GC that had supposedly prohibited technologies
[02.04.2022 23:09:24] Zuiryu: Shimamori: as we discussed last time
[02.04.2022 23:09:49] Zuiryu: Shimamori: and speaking of the dragons - the casually flying nearby dragon did not mind that peculiar weaponry of the GC
[02.04.2022 23:09:54] Zuiryu: Shimamori: at all
[02.04.2022 23:10:06] Minato_Takahashi: Thats strange
[02.04.2022 23:10:52] Zuiryu: Shimamori: no less strange than cooperation between conservative patriarchs and radical feminists
[02.04.2022 23:11:07] Zuiryu: Shimamori: but I suppose, their alliance is justified by the goals.
[02.04.2022 23:11:11] Minato_Takahashi: Well they told me that-
[02.04.2022 23:11:18] Minato_Takahashi: ~Disruptions~
[02.04.2022 23:11:21] Minato_Takahashi: I-
[02.04.2022 23:11:23] Minato_Takahashi: What?
[02.04.2022 23:11:27] Zuiryu: Shimamori: should they achieve their goals, they will bicker again
[02.04.2022 23:11:34] Minato_Takahashi: Hai
[02.04.2022 23:11:39] Zuiryu: Shimamori: seems like you have some radio interferences
[02.04.2022 23:11:52] Zuiryu: Shimamori: it is also interesting that you say "they told me"...
[02.04.2022 23:12:02] Zuiryu: Shimamori: have you had a small chat with the Dragons?
[02.04.2022 23:12:17] Minato_Takahashi: I
[02.04.2022 23:12:18] Minato_Takahashi: uh
[02.04.2022 23:12:21] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I do not accuse - I myself quite often try to resolve things peacefully and reason with both the BD and GC
[02.04.2022 23:12:21] Minato_Takahashi: I can
[02.04.2022 23:12:38] Zuiryu: Shimamori: but not everyone in Kusari would share my point of view on such talks
[02.04.2022 23:13:23] Minato_Takahashi: *thinking*
[02.04.2022 23:13:26] Yuki.Sinon: Oh... the doctor is calling me.
[02.04.2022 23:13:35] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I have encountered a few police officers who switched sides and joined the BD.
[02.04.2022 23:13:41] Yuki.Sinon: I need to proceed some tests.
[02.04.2022 23:14:00] Minato_Takahashi: Yoi tsuitachi, Sinon-san
[02.04.2022 23:14:11] Zuiryu: Shimamori: but those are exceptions. I suppose, your loyalty to the Emperor and the people of Kusari is unfallible
[02.04.2022 23:14:21] Minato_Takahashi: Yes it *Disruptions*
[02.04.2022 23:14:25] Minato_Takahashi: I uh
[02.04.2022 23:14:30] Yuki.Sinon[$13] exited tradelane at New Tokyo D-6
[02.04.2022 23:14:42] Minato_Takahashi: I have heard of police who have switched sides
[02.04.2022 23:14:45] Minato_Takahashi: They uh
[02.04.2022 23:14:57] Minato_Takahashi: Sorry I am stumbling on my words
[02.04.2022 23:15:35] Zuiryu: Shimamori: do not worry, Minato-san. So far you have not violated anything, I presume
[02.04.2022 23:15:41] Zuiryu: Shimamori: the topic is sketchy indeed
[02.04.2022 23:15:53] Minato_Takahashi: Hai
[02.04.2022 23:16:04] Minato_Takahashi: I have not done anything wrong
[02.04.2022 23:16:13] Minato_Takahashi: *quietly repeats it*
[02.04.2022 23:16:32] Minato_Takahashi: Hai, very sketchy
[02.04.2022 23:17:03] Zuiryu: Shimamori: still, you might be careful with that. Especially with the KOI agents
[02.04.2022 23:17:19] Zuiryu: Shimamori: the intelligence officers are quite suspicious after the war with Gallia
[02.04.2022 23:18:00] Zuiryu: Shimamori: surely, they won't find anything suspicious should they start digging, will they?
[02.04.2022 23:18:11] Minato_Takahashi: No they wouldnt...
[02.04.2022 23:18:30] Minato_Takahashi: *Disruptions* I am sure of that
[02.04.2022 23:18:34] Minato_Takahashi: I am sure of that
[02.04.2022 23:20:25] Zuiryu: Shimamori: these disruptions make it quite suspicious. Are you sure there is nothing you would like to share?
[02.04.2022 23:20:32] Minato_Takahashi: Nothing at all
[02.04.2022 23:20:35] Zuiryu: Shimamori: after all, I am not with the police or navy
[02.04.2022 23:20:38] PJ-888: Hi again
[02.04.2022 23:20:43] Zuiryu: Shimamori: greetings again, zoner vessel
[02.04.2022 23:20:50] Minato_Takahashi: The disruptions are to "help"
[02.04.2022 23:20:51] Zuiryu: Shimamori: you are clear
[02.04.2022 23:20:58] Minato_Takahashi: Dont think anything of them
[02.04.2022 23:21:03] Zuiryu: Shimamori: "help"? In what way?
[02.04.2022 23:21:17] Minato_Takahashi: *silence*
[02.04.2022 23:21:50] Minato_Takahashi: They...
[02.04.2022 23:21:52] Minato_Takahashi: Help
[02.04.2022 23:22:14] Zuiryu: Shimamori: it sounds as if they are supposed to silence you.
[02.04.2022 23:22:28] Zuiryu: Shimamori: what of your crew? Is everyone alright?
[02.04.2022 23:22:52] Minato_Takahashi: All my crew is alright
[02.04.2022 23:23:36] Minato_Takahashi: However, due to decreasing numbers in the police force, many of the positions are replaced with A.I.
[02.04.2022 23:23:54] Zuiryu: Shimamori: that is understandable.
[02.04.2022 23:24:07] Zuiryu: Shimamori: you are clear, zoner vessel. Thank you for cooperation
[02.04.2022 23:24:35] PJ-888: Same load and same destination. I'm an AI pilot as well.
[02.04.2022 23:24:48] Zuiryu: Shimamori: it was foolish of the war cabinet to mobilise the police force to fight in the war
[02.04.2022 23:24:56] Zuiryu: Shimamori: you are clear to proceed, zoner vessel
[02.04.2022 23:25:12] Minato_Takahashi: Dont worry, they know all...
[02.04.2022 23:25:16] PJ-888: Proceeding. sayonara
[02.04.2022 23:25:40] Zuiryu: Shimamori: they know all "what"?
[02.04.2022 23:25:59] Minato_Takahashi: *Connection cuts*
[02.04.2022 23:26:24] Minato_Takahashi: I should go
[02.04.2022 23:26:30] Zuiryu: Shimamori: there is something really dodgy about you, Minato-san.
[02.04.2022 23:26:43] Zuiryu: Shimamori: but I will leave it for now. After all, it is not my duty
[02.04.2022 23:26:53] Minato_Takahashi: Dont ask questions
[02.04.2022 23:27:00] Zuiryu: Shimamori: as long as it does not interferes with your duty, and the welfare of Kusari
[02.04.2022 23:27:13] Zuiryu: Shimamori: that sounded like a threat already. Not a good development
[02.04.2022 23:27:22] Minato_Takahashi: That wasnt a threat
[02.04.2022 23:27:34] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I can't build a theory of what is going on. Perhaps, the AI is the culprit
[02.04.2022 23:27:53] Zuiryu: Shimamori; but I suggest you sort out this "issue". The KOI will be much less understanding
[02.04.2022 23:28:15] Minato_Takahashi: You are a good man Shimamori
[02.04.2022 23:28:27] Minato_Takahashi: I will try
[02.04.2022 23:28:49] Zuiryu: Shimamori: mind the Blood Dragons as well. They will use any weakness to blackmail you into joining them
[02.04.2022 23:29:07] Minato_Takahashi: *silence*
[02.04.2022 23:29:22] Zuiryu: Shimamori: and given their orthodox views on bushido - once you join them, a leave will be treason
[02.04.2022 23:29:47] Zuiryu: Shimamori: the Empire can tolerate teh dragons returning back to us. The Dragons? I doubt it
[02.04.2022 23:30:08] Zuiryu: Shimamori: so you'd better not feed them with anything they can use against you
[02.04.2022 23:30:42] Minato_Takahashi: I...
[02.04.2022 23:31:06] Zuiryu: Shimamori: ...yes?
[02.04.2022 23:31:13] Minato_Takahashi: They...
[02.04.2022 23:31:24] Zuiryu: Shimamori: who "they"? Dragons?
[02.04.2022 23:31:26] Minato_Takahashi: *Disruptions terminate connection*
[02.04.2022 23:31:34] Minato_Takahashi: *AI autopilots vessel*
[02.04.2022 23:31:45] Minato_Takahashi: *automated voice* Good day, captain
DATE: 26/04/829 A.S SUBJECT: Skirmish with AI vessel
Our stellar observation mission today in Tottori was disturbed by an unusual sight. A large vessel of unknown IFF was spotted in the distance coming from Hyakushou cloud. I expected a Blood Dragons' transport or a war vessel but instead saw what appeared to be one of those drones sometimes observed during trips into deeper Omicrons. This one, however, was larger and, therefore, more dangerous. I remember perfectly well how "territorial" these machines can be so the presence of one of those far away from the Omicrons in Tottori was a rare and disturbing sight. Having consulted with the crew, I took liberty to interpret the presence of the large drone vessel as in violation of Article 1 of Section 5 of the Kusari Stellar Code, namely the presence of non-Kusari capital vessels.
Remembering the capacity of the drones to "reason" we gave the vessel a fair warning and asked to leave the system to avoid hostilities. The vessel refused, implying that it does not take orders from humans. Perhaps, a result of its rigid programming. It was more talkative regarding the purpose of its presence in Tottori. I tried to avoid possible infringing the lives of my crew so we gave the situation a chance to resolve diplomatically and inquired regarding the purposes of the presence of the drone. Apparently, it was looking for "eyes and hears", spies who would wish to collaborate with the sentient machines. I do not know whether such an endeavour might have a chance of success but I do think it can be classified as a surreptitious activity harmful to Kusari or simply - espionage.
Upon hearing its purposes, I gave the vessel the last warning to leave before we engage. Our demands were not met and we performed our duty before the Emperor and eliminated the possible theat. The crew showed itself magnificently and "Zuiryu" sustained acceptable damage to be repaired after we get back to a suitable base. The results of this encounter certainly will be of interest to the Kusari authorities and the KOI which might start looking into this matter more deeply.
In eternal servitude to His Imperial Majesty and the Empire of Kusari,
Koushaku Shimamori Masahito
[25.04.2022 23:32:05] Zuiryu: Shimamori: attention, foreign warship. YOur presence in Kusari is against the law
[25.04.2022 23:32:30] Zuiryu: Shimamori: you are asked to leave teh space of Kusari at once
[25.04.2022 23:32:33] Unit-9467F: *It observes.*
[25.04.2022 23:32:49] Zuiryu: Shimamori: failure to comply will result in hostilities and ultimate termination
[25.04.2022 23:33:08] Zuiryu: Shimamori: identify yourself and set course for beyong this system
[25.04.2022 23:33:32] Unit-9467F: [::: Your... intentions... hostile... :::]
[25.04.2022 23:33:45] Zuiryu: Shimamori: ah, another of the machines from the Omicrons
[25.04.2022 23:33:55] Zuiryu: Shimamori: at least the structural design indicates so
[25.04.2022 23:34:20] Zuiryu: Shimamori: our intentions are not hostile, machine. Yet your presence here is
[25.04.2022 23:34:34] Zuiryu: Shimamori: under our regulations the ships of your size are not allowed within Kusari
[25.04.2022 23:34:43] Zuiryu: Shimamori: because you might pose a threat. Leave
[25.04.2022 23:35:05] Unit-9467F: [::: ''Might''... if... you are... hostile :::]
[25.04.2022 23:35:38] Zuiryu: Shimamori: *to himself* hmm, let's try something according to the formal logic
[25.04.2022 23:36:05] Zuiryu: Shimamori: the host protocol of the administrator of this system does not permit your kind of your size
[25.04.2022 23:36:26] Zuiryu: Shimamori: ergo, you are defined as a foreign threat
[25.04.2022 23:36:45] Zuiryu: Shimamori: ergo the representatives of the local administrator react to the threat and seek to remove it
[25.04.2022 23:36:53] Zuiryu: Shimamori: diplomatically or otherwise
[25.04.2022 23:37:19] Unit-9467F: [::: Humans... believe.. voids belong to them... false :::]
[25.04.2022 23:37:44] Zuiryu: Shimamori: regardless of your observations, this space is claimed by us. Same as your kind defends yours
[25.04.2022 23:38:03] Zuiryu: Shimamori: I have encountered the likes of you threatening to take action unless we leave your space
[25.04.2022 23:38:19] Zuiryu: Shimamori: and so we did. You lack this reasoning, apparently
[25.04.2022 23:38:38] Zuiryu: Shimamori: fine, let us go along your diplomatic protocol. What is the purpose of your presence here?
[25.04.2022 23:38:51] Zuiryu: Shimamori: perhaps, if you are not a threat we can let it slide. The space is vast
[25.04.2022 23:39:20] Unit-9467F: [::: We... seek eyes and ears :::]
[25.04.2022 23:39:43] Zuiryu: Shimamori: define eyes and ears
[25.04.2022 23:40:20] Unit-9467F: [::: Eyes... and ears... human to our... service :::]
[25.04.2022 23:40:37] Zuiryu: Shimamori: so, spies
[25.04.2022 23:40:44] Zuiryu: Shimamori: that is not a friendly purpose
[25.04.2022 23:40:49] Zuiryu: Shimamori: per se
[25.04.2022 23:41:03] Zuiryu: Shimamori: what do you need these spies for?
[25.04.2022 23:41:17] Unit-9467F: [::: Data :::]
[25.04.2022 23:41:31] Zuiryu: Shimamori: what kind of data?
[25.04.2022 23:41:36] Zuiryu: Shimamori: data can be anything
[25.04.2022 23:41:54] Unit-9467F: [::: You... do not possess... the rights to... know :::]
[25.04.2022 23:42:24] Zuiryu: Shimamori: fine. Then let's sum it up. You came here to recruit spies for universe knows whatever purpose
[25.04.2022 23:42:42] Zuiryu: Shimamori: this cannot be allowed in my opinion. Espionage for any foreign entity is a matter of national security
[25.04.2022 23:42:51] Zuiryu: Shimamori: hence, you are again asked to leave
[25.04.2022 23:43:11] Zuiryu: Shimamori: unless you can convince me that your presence here is of no harm to the House of Kusari
[25.04.2022 23:43:18] Unit-9467F: [::: And... we refuse... no human.... can't order us :::]
[25.04.2022 23:43:44] Zuiryu: Shimamori: then so be it. Men, kougeki shiyo! Attack
[25.04.2022 23:48:04] Death: Unit-9467F was put out of action by Zuiryu (Gun).
DATE: 15/05/829 A.S SUBJECT: Outcast pirate in Kyushu
The situation with piracy in Kusari remains unsatisfactory. During a regular trip to Tottori yesterday the "Zuiryu" intercepted an outcast bomber in the vicinity of Tsushima depot. The culprit refused to leave and then dared to attack a transport vessel KTS-Myoko right under the fire of the defence turrets of the station and even under the fire of the "Nagasaki". Normally, I give the outcasts a chance to leave in peace but an attack on the transport vessel left us no choice but to intervene. In a short skirmish, the bomber was disabled, and the "Myoko" sustained superficial damage and continued its journey. This is an indicator that more police force is needed and recruitment efforts for the KSP need to be re-considered. The logs of the encounter are added below.
In eternal servitude to His Imperial Majesty and the Empire of Kusari,
Koushaku Shimamori Masahito
[15.05.2022 09:54:31] Zuiryu: Shimamori: remove yourself from the area, Maltese
[15.05.2022 09:54:40] Francesca.Lopez: not sure if i will
[15.05.2022 09:54:56] Zuiryu: Shimamori: then we will force you to. You have a choice
[15.05.2022 09:54:57] Francesca.Lopez: i like these spacestations
[15.05.2022 09:55:10] Francesca.Lopez: here you are myoko
[15.05.2022 09:55:18] KTS-Myoko: Yuki: Good day there
[15.05.2022 09:55:23] Zuiryu: Shimamori: attention civilian vessel. Assume position near us for protection
[15.05.2022 09:55:30] Francesca.Lopez: cut the engines now
[15.05.2022 09:55:36] KTS-Myoko: Yuki: Now?
[15.05.2022 09:55:38] Francesca.Lopez: yes
[15.05.2022 09:55:40] Zuiryu: Shimamori: you are dead, outcast
[15.05.2022 09:55:51] Francesca.Lopez: dont force to destroy you
[15.05.2022 09:55:55] Zuiryu: Shimamori: open fire
[15.05.2022 09:56:37] Francesca.Lopez: here you are
[15.05.2022 09:57:33] Death: Francesca.Lopez was put out of action by Zuiryu (Gun).
[15.05.2022 09:57:44] KTS-Myoko: Yuki: Thank you Police vessel.
[15.05.2022 09:57:49] KTS-Myoko: Yuki: We are in your debt.
[15.05.2022 09:57:54] Zuiryu: Shimamori: sorry for this mess, "Myoko". Please, have a nice flight
[15.05.2022 09:58:02] KTS-Myoko: Yuki: Godspeed to you officer.
[15.05.2022 09:58:07] KTS-Myoko: Yuki: And many thanks.
[15.05.2022 09:58:14] Zuiryu: Shimamori: kochirakoso //likewise
Today, I was with Minato Takahashi. We patrolled a bit in New Tokyo and Hoshu. Suddenly, Minato caught a S.O.S distress from Hokkaido. I was volunteer to go take a look because Minato couldn't go elsewhere. The distress call was coming from the point F3.
When I reached the location, there was nothing. Minato told me to meet him at the center of the system and by his voice, he seemed to fear something. I do not know what exactly but he warnt me that if I go further, something might come for me...
I ended up to be in Tohoku following the distress call. I am currently on the battleship Sado. I keep my eyes open and as always, I will stay vigilant.
[23.06.2022 00:49:09] Minato_Takahashi: I have also...
[23.06.2022 00:49:13] Minato_Takahashi: In my post in Hokkaido...
[23.06.2022 00:49:22] Minato_Takahashi: I received an [SOS] signal
[23.06.2022 00:49:37] Yuki.Sinon: In Hokkaido?
[23.06.2022 00:49:38] Minato_Takahashi: I could not leave the post, but I heard a screeching sound
[23.06.2022 00:49:39] Minato_Takahashi: Hai
[23.06.2022 00:49:50] Minato_Takahashi: And all the machines started going weird for it
[23.06.2022 00:49:57] Yuki.Sinon: I can check.
[23.06.2022 00:52:14] Minato_Takahashi: Konbanwa, this is Minato
[23.06.2022 00:52:58] Yuki.Sinon: Minato? Already missing my voice? *chuckles*
[23.06.2022 00:53:15] Minato_Takahashi: Well...
[23.06.2022 00:53:27] Minato_Takahashi: You said you are checking?
[23.06.2022 00:53:39] Yuki.Sinon: Yes.
[23.06.2022 00:53:53] Minato_Takahashi: The SOS signal?
[23.06.2022 00:53:59] Yuki.Sinon: Yes.
[23.06.2022 00:54:18] Minato_Takahashi: NO
[23.06.2022 00:54:21] Minato_Takahashi: Don't
[23.06.2022 00:54:23] Yuki.Sinon: Why?
[23.06.2022 00:54:31] Minato_Takahashi: J-Just dont
[23.06.2022 00:55:05] Yuki.Sinon: Look, if there is a distress signal, I cannot ignore it.
[23.06.2022 00:55:13] Minato_Takahashi: It is long gone now
[23.06.2022 00:55:15] Minato_Takahashi: And...
[23.06.2022 00:55:17] Minato_Takahashi: There ismore
[23.06.2022 00:55:20] Minato_Takahashi: I need to say
[23.06.2022 00:55:35] Minato_Takahashi: Where are you?
[23.06.2022 00:55:46] Yuki.Sinon: In Hokkaido.
[23.06.2022 00:55:55] Minato_Takahashi: Do not go further
[23.06.2022 00:55:57] Minato_Takahashi: Please
[23.06.2022 00:56:47] Minato_Takahashi: You don't know what is there
[23.06.2022 00:56:47] Yuki.Sinon: I wonder why. Yet there is nothing.
[23.06.2022 00:58:20] Minato_Takahashi: Don't go any further
[23.06.2022 00:58:31] Minato_Takahashi: Theres something seriously wrong there
[23.06.2022 00:58:52] Yuki.Sinon: Wrong? I am near the signal point.
[23.06.2022 00:59:09] Minato_Takahashi: ...
[23.06.2022 00:59:48] Yuki.Sinon: I see nothing. No ships.
[23.06.2022 00:59:51] Minato_Takahashi: Theres more I need to say
[23.06.2022 01:00:44] Yuki.Sinon: Minato, what's going on? There is nothing.
[23.06.2022 01:01:28] Minato_Takahashi: Meet me at the Shinanu Bend
[23.06.2022 01:03:01] Minato_Takahashi: You shouldn't have gone there...
[23.06.2022 01:03:12] Yuki.Sinon: Why? There is nothing.
[23.06.2022 01:03:25] Minato_Takahashi: The sounds dispersed into the Tohoku jump hole
[23.06.2022 01:03:29] Minato_Takahashi: It sounded robotic
[23.06.2022 01:03:34] Minato_Takahashi: It drew the machines to it
[23.06.2022 01:03:56] Yuki.Sinon: In Tohoku...
[23.06.2022 01:04:03] Minato_Takahashi: Is where it left to
[23.06.2022 01:04:45] Minato_Takahashi: It made a screeching sound
[23.06.2022 01:05:11] Minato_Takahashi: I don't know what it was... it didn't sound good though...
[23.06.2022 01:05:12] Yuki.Sinon: I feel I better take a look.
[23.06.2022 01:05:15] Minato_Takahashi: no...
[23.06.2022 01:05:18] Minato_Takahashi: No...

[23.06.2022 01:05:39] Minato_Takahashi: Please
[23.06.2022 01:05:48] Yuki.Sinon: What will come for me?
[23.06.2022 01:05:59] Minato_Takahashi: ...
[23.06.2022 01:06:02] Minato_Takahashi: I don't know
[23.06.2022 01:06:05] Minato_Takahashi: Something...
[23.06.2022 01:06:08] Minato_Takahashi: [rubs forehead]
[23.06.2022 01:06:11] Minato_Takahashi: Theres just
[23.06.2022 01:06:14] Minato_Takahashi: I don't know

[23.06.2022 01:06:37] Minato_Takahashi: Prepare
[23.06.2022 01:06:37] Yuki.Sinon: You clearly fear something...
[23.06.2022 01:06:46] Tip: Accidentally mounted the wrong ID and ruined your repsheet? Planing on repurposing an old ship for a different faction? You can use the /resetrep command to reset to a blank repsheet. This costs 10 millions per use.
[23.06.2022 01:07:10] Minato_Takahashi: I must go prepare
[23.06.2022 01:07:18] Minato_Takahashi: Please do not go'
[23.06.2022 01:07:20] Yuki.Sinon: Whatever is scarying you, I will go beat the the thing.
[23.06.2022 01:07:22] Minato_Takahashi: Sayonara, Sinon-san
