Today the vessel of Sinon Yuki received a distress call hailing from Hokkaido. later on, hatamoto Sinon reported the vessel in distress jumped to Tohoku. Upon inspecting the coordinates in question, we stumbled across a vessel of unknown IFF and with some equipment showing off non-human signatures. As you might presume, the vessel was not piloted by humans exactly. This was not the first time I encountered a gunboat-class vessel codenamed "Scorpion Beta-Lambda". In both cases, the vessel actively tried to convince me to "join" them, i.e. to infect. It also attempted to assert mind control over me and hatamoto Sinon, resulting in immense mental pressure but luckily to no avail. The vessel was engaged and fended off.
This message is to notify you that the vessel in question is from now on a kill-on-sight target. Avoid talking to it - it will try to corrupt you with its mental abilities. Engage in conversation at your own risk if you are not alone and if you are certain about your mental resilience. If you do talk with it - avoid mentioning your personal information and try to extract as much intelligence as possible.
All personnel going into space is from now on requested to undergo medical examination after each flight to avoid contamination. The examination is to be taken on situ at the base of landing. All costs shall be reimbursed from the Clan's Treasury. Upon the return to Honshu, the personnel that has ventured into space is to undergo a medical examination at the Tenmei University Hospital curated by the Clan. This strict medical policy is for your own benefit and safety, as well as for the safety of the Clan and the people of Kusari in general. We do not want an alien infection spreading en masse.
In eternal servitude to His Imperial Majesty and the Empire of Kusari,
Koushaku Shimamori Masahito
I am also glad to inform you that my previous and current eliminations were enough for the Kusari Empire bouty board to officialy grant me access to hunt targets in New Tokyo, Honshu, Kyushu, Hokkaido, Tau-53 (Rishiri) and Tottori systems.
Additionally, I met a Zoner capital vessel on the New Tokyo orbit. I warned him of violation of Kusari laws, but he stated "ABH research group" has permission to be in Kusari space. I would like to ask you to check this information. If it is not confirmed, this vessel should be added to the watch list.
Yury out.

An outcast dreadnought was spotted passing from Honshu system in New Tokyo, near Shinagawa Station. A crew of Yashima have sent a request to intercept an outcast. Our crew immediatly flew from Planet Junyo to New Tokyo, where the Dreadnought was found by me. During our pursuit De Muerte had flown straight into Kyushu Jump Hole. He was intercepted and destroyed in Kyushu inside the Ohka Dust Field.
Illegal Device on a ship "Basilisk.A-[Fae", received a warning. Scan.

0xSurveyor - a Pirate train in the middle of New Tokyo.
Oxycodone - Gate/Lane Parts contraband. Not responding, escaped due to ion storm.
Patrol of the border systems: Galileo - an unstable jumphole was discovered at sector G4-G5. It wasn't powerful enough to make a jump with a gunboat, thus it's destination is unknown.
Unstable jumphole
Coordinates
Tau-29 - no encounters Kyushu - Met a damaged GCs fighter named Yellowfin. A Freelancer refused to explain how did he get into possession of a GCs ship. My gunboat couldn't keep up with him, he escaped. Most likely a GC sympathizer, adding to the watchlist is advised. Shikoku - Met three OS&C vessels tagged CoMB|, odd behaviour: the escort seemed worshipping the captain of the Liner. Possible Nomad indoctrination. Adding to the watchlist is advised.

[16.10.2023 14:37:12] Hasunohana: It's a pleasure to meet a member of your clan, then.
[16.10.2023 14:37:37] SC-SlaveLabor+: Marquess Shimamori is very popular on Honshu, and has many friends in the government.
[16.10.2023 14:37:53] SC-SlaveLabor+: Arigato

100 sci-data collected on board of SC-Outbound_Light, awaiting transfer to Clan pool.
Samura's SRD] convoy of four vessels was successfully escorted from Honshu carrying H-Fuel to Dublin and back carrying Gold. I have a mixed impression of this escort. The desire to quickly deliver the cargo from the representatives of Samura bordered on recklessness - they divided their convoy, which made my efforts to protect it difficult. I had to be at the tail of the convoy, along with the last transport. On the other hand, they have gathered considerable transport capacity in one place, which cannot but deserve respect, and also expressed hope for cooperation with the Shimamori Clan as soon as they realized that I was not going to charge them for escort duty. I took it upon myself to declare that we are ready to cooperate, and reassured them that Shimamori-san is a man of honor, and my work will definitely be paid. We met no resistance along the way, but I saw the pirate transport - 0xSurveyor -, which I had reported earlier, in Kyushu. Find log attached.
[17.10.2023 14:17:57] SC-SlaveLabor+: Hello!
[17.10.2023 14:18:01] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Konbanwa.
[17.10.2023 14:18:08] SRD]Shiraho.Maru: Konnichiwa.
[17.10.2023 14:18:12] SC-SlaveLabor+: Do you need escort?
[17.10.2023 14:18:34] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Depends, how much are you charging for protection to Dublin?
[17.10.2023 14:18:57] SC-SlaveLabor+: Zero. The government pays for escort duty.
[17.10.2023 14:19:11] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Then we will accept your escort.
[17.10.2023 14:19:17] SC-SlaveLabor+: Great. Lead the way.
[17.10.2023 14:19:40] SRD]Aomori.Maru: We are awaiting one or two more ships to join the convoy.
[17.10.2023 14:19:55] SC-SlaveLabor+: No problem
[17.10.2023 14:22:42] SRD]Saga.Maru: Konbanwa
[17.10.2023 14:22:48] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Konbanwa.
[17.10.2023 14:22:55] SC-SlaveLabor+: Greetings from the Shimamori Clan!
[17.10.2023 14:23:34] SRD]Saitama.Maru: S: Konnichiwa.
[17.10.2023 14:23:40] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Ok pilots, form up and let's go.
[17.10.2023 14:23:48] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Destination Dublin.
[17.10.2023 14:23:55] SRD]Saga.Maru: Aye Aye
[17.10.2023 14:24:20] SC-SlaveLabor+: I suppose we are going to supply some base?
[17.10.2023 14:24:22] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Eliminate the Kishiro scum.
[17.10.2023 14:25:09] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Great, you shot the Trade lane.
[17.10.2023 14:25:12] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Idiots!
[17.10.2023 14:25:13] SRD]Saitama.Maru: S: Well, not exactly supplying.
[17.10.2023 14:27:48] SC-SlaveLabor+: Never seen that many Ryuujins in one place, amazing.
[17.10.2023 14:28:36] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Well you better get used to it.
[17.10.2023 14:28:44] SRD]Aomori.Maru: You are going to see us fly this route quite a lot.
[17.10.2023 14:28:47] SC-SlaveLabor+: This is one of the many?
[17.10.2023 14:28:51] SC-SlaveLabor+: I see
[17.10.2023 14:28:55] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Indeed.
[17.10.2023 14:30:12] SRD]Aomori.Maru: This Trade Lane is defective..
[17.10.2023 14:30:23] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Must have been built by Kishiro.
[17.10.2023 14:30:26] SC-SlaveLabor+: Minor delay, we will catch up.
[17.10.2023 14:31:10] SC-SlaveLabor+: Hm...
[17.10.2023 14:32:07] SRD]Aomori.Maru: cheers
[17.10.2023 14:36:54] SC-SlaveLabor+: The head of the convoy is not waiting for us. Why the haste?
[17.10.2023 14:37:25] SRD]Aomori.Maru: They are assholes, that's why.
[17.10.2023 14:37:30] SC-SlaveLabor+: Understood.
[17.10.2023 14:37:36] SRD]Aomori.Maru: But so am I, so I can't blame them.
[17.10.2023 14:37:53] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Time is money.
[17.10.2023 14:38:18] SC-SlaveLabor+: It's not safe to leave your single combat ship behind, that's all I'm saying.
[17.10.2023 14:38:30] SRD]Aomori.Maru: That's true.
[17.10.2023 14:38:40] SRD]Aomori.Maru: If only they shared that mindset.
[17.10.2023 14:38:51] SC-SlaveLabor+: We share it in Shimamori.
[17.10.2023 14:39:36] SRD]Aomori.Maru: So you're based in Kusari?
[17.10.2023 14:40:05] SC-SlaveLabor+: Correct. Planet Honshu. The is a feef, or what was it called, granted by the Emperor.
[17.10.2023 14:40:35] SRD]Aomori.Maru: I see. That's good to know.
[17.10.2023 14:41:58] SRD]Aomori.Maru: We are always in need of escort and protection services so you might hear from us more.
[17.10.2023 14:42:02] SC-SlaveLabor+: I'm one of the mercs of the Clan. Shooting criminals, protecting our researchers.
[17.10.2023 14:42:23] SC-SlaveLabor+: Sure, call us any time
[17.10.2023 14:42:57] SRD]Aomori.Maru: And you are sure you get paid for this?
[17.10.2023 14:43:38] SC-SlaveLabor+: Of course! Mr. Shimamori never left me unpaid.
[17.10.2023 14:44:14] SC-SlaveLabor+: Actually he would be glad to hear about another opportunity to aid Samura.
[17.10.2023 14:52:23] SC-SlaveLabor+: Greetings from the Shimamori Clan! Enjoy your stay or transit in Kusari.
[17.10.2023 14:52:27] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Konbanwa.
[17.10.2023 14:52:37] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Yowzaa
[17.10.2023 14:52:45] SC-SlaveLabor+: Well, not Kusari. But maybe one day, hehe
[17.10.2023 14:52:55] SRD]Saga.Maru: True story
[17.10.2023 14:53:29] SC-SlaveLabor+: what's wrong?
[17.10.2023 14:54:03] SRD]Aomori.Maru: My reputation with the Mollys seems to have changed.
[17.10.2023 14:54:15] SC-SlaveLabor+: Maybe they didn't like me?
[17.10.2023 14:54:40] SRD]Aomori.Maru: I don't think that's why.
[17.10.2023 14:54:48] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Will be an easy fix at the closest bar.
[17.10.2023 14:54:58] SC-SlaveLabor+: Lead the way.
[17.10.2023 14:56:15] SC-SlaveLabor+: What a massacre
[17.10.2023 14:58:08] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Will await the last guy.
[17.10.2023 14:58:12] SC-SlaveLabor+: Good idea
[17.10.2023 14:58:37] SC-SlaveLabor+: How much you get from this trip?
[17.10.2023 14:58:59] SRD]Aomori.Maru: About 50 million.
[17.10.2023 14:59:31] SC-SlaveLabor+: you mean 500.000?
[17.10.2023 14:59:55] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Yes sorry
[17.10.2023 15:00:00] SC-SlaveLabor+: Ok
[17.10.2023 15:00:10] SRD]Saga.Maru: I do not have shields
[17.10.2023 15:00:14] SC-SlaveLabor+: Yeah, I'm doing wrong thing with my life.
[17.10.2023 15:00:16] SRD]Saga.Maru: Those blasted mines
[17.10.2023 15:00:25] SRD]Aomori.Maru: God speed.
[17.10.2023 15:16:57] SC-SlaveLabor+: Pirate train on our tail. Not sure if he will chase us.
[17.10.2023 15:17:32] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Let's hope not.
[17.10.2023 15:18:00] SC-SlaveLabor+: Yeah it would be better for him.
[17.10.2023 15:21:30] SC-SlaveLabor+: Unfortunately, I have to leave you. I'm needed in another place.
[17.10.2023 15:21:43] SC-SlaveLabor+: It was an easy rode, but don't forget about safety.
[17.10.2023 15:21:44] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Understandable. Thanks for the escort!
[17.10.2023 15:21:51] SRD]Aomori.Maru: Fly safe.
[17.10.2023 15:21:53] SC-SlaveLabor+: Sayonara. *bows*
