Got up early for another round. Headed through the Kyushu Jumphole for the firs time. Hopefully the KSP won't catch on to me soon.
First off I headed through Kyushu. Not much activity around the place, though one trader managed to give me the slip. After a few hours of boredom, I headed to the New Tokyo system.
Unfortunately, almost waiting for me at the gate was a Kusari Naval Forces officer. He didn't seem keen to talk, and demanded I leave the system, whilst blocking my path. Unable to persuade him to move it, it seemed as if he wanted a fight. Well, I gave him what he wanted.
My first victory in awhile.

Tried to get to Roppongii for the first time. Some people say it's actually possible to dock there on GC identified ship. But I was sceptical.
Not even that close to the planet, I encountered two KSP pilots in wyrms. Some fun I thought, but they didn't want to play. They didn't even try to get me out of the system. That's how sexist they are. I'm sure if a Blood Dragon were there they would have told him to get lost. But look, they just like picking on me, don't they.
Two on one, really? I seem to be a magnet for group battles. After quite a long fight, my ship was finally rendered too damaged to fly, so I ejected my escape pod in hope of escape. Hours later, I was back on Ainu. Very, very annoyed.

It's been some time since I've told you what I've been up to sisters, I suppose I should give an update.
Patrols have been successful. I've made it a habit lately of basing donation suggestions on trader's knowledge of what the Chrysanthemums fight for. I've discovered that we need to begin spreading the truth about Samura's corruption of Kusari and the dire fight for the rights of all here in our home.
As of very recently, I've discovered a supporter in the form of a Freelancer in the name of [color=#99FF99]Ozei.Ruousha.
This man has proved his worth many times over in the form of escort and protection the past few days and I have allowed him refuge at Ainu as his work with me has given him a... tarnished, reputation with most of Kusari. This honor of course was gained through compensation as well. Ozei-san has offered his stockpile of codenamed weaponry and Paralyzer missile launchers is at our disposal. Of course any credits we can spare to pay him would be appreciated but the weaponry is free to use among our trusted sisters. Here is a manifest of the weaponry he has provided.
One of those proven worths also provided us with valuable information. During routine stopping of traffic in Kyushu, I came across several of our Dragon brothers; [color=#99FF99]Kiuro, Heruya_Chiba, and Li_Takahashi .
At close to the same moment we decided to check on a trader who was carrying scientists to Nansei previously, a Kusari gunboat appeared on sensors. It was the IKN-Hikari.No.Ken|KPT which is apparently part of the state police's attempts to breathe life into their Kempeitai force. I decided to strike quickly and decicively and ordered two of the Dragons to attack the gunboat with me, one to hold the fighter who was there at bay, and Ozei-san who was with us to await in case reinforcements arrived.
They did!
The Kempeitai were obviously a separated patrol who we had caught only part of as, at least to my recollection, all in all there wound up being two fighters, two bombers, and the gunboat. I'm unsure of which name connected to which vessel type but they are: Lo.Pan|KPT, Tadashi_Tanaka|KPT, tieng.Lung|KPT, Nobunaga.Kinju|KPT. To my dismay, I watched all of our Dragon brothers fall to these ruthless Kempeitai ships as they recieved reinforcements from each new ship. As soon as the last of the Dragons had fallen, I decided to call for a quick retreat. I yelled for Ozei to retreat but he was bogged down by their disruptors. Only one ship followed me; to his doom. I was able to destroy Nobunaga-san's Chimaera with my SNAC once I had him separated from the group, thanks to Ozei-san. When I returned in range, I told Ozei-san to make his escape and he bravely replied "Get outta here while you can! I'll hold them off!". I reluctantly withdrew from Kyushu.
Their names are clear in these guncam images from myself and Ozei-san.
Ozei-san held off the attackers while I returned to Ainu to bring out the Serendipity and call for assistance; to which [GC]-Motoko.Kusanagi and Detective.Gerald.Willow were there right away.
I sent Willow-tantei to assist Ozei-san as I had feared for the worst but to my surprise, Ozei was doing very well as the Kempeitai could hardly hit his agile Eagle. I remained with Motoko-san to lie in wait at the Kyushu hole in order to be able to destroy them immediately as they jumped. That jump never happened and all Ozei-san and Willow-tantei withdrew successfully from Kyushu and no enemies followed.
Were it not for Ozei-san, I am sure that I would have lost my ship and possibly been captured by the Kempeitai! I do hope you respect my decision to allow him to stay upon Ainu for the time being and do please make an attempt to get to know Ruousha-san, as he is a valuable ally to have.

A rather interesting situation in Kyushu today. Met a Kusari State Police by the name of [KSP]Toru.Kondo officer who claimed to have taken a Blood Dragon hostage from a trader. After many attempts to win him back, the officer blatantly refused. However, things were not to turn to violence just yet.
Not long after, a certain vessel by the name of Detective.Gerald.Willow came along, willing to trade Kusari Naval Forces pilots for the Blood Dragon. The officer agreed, handing over the Blood Dragon for the allied pilots, and I was given the Blood Dragon to take back for free. Negotiation wins for today.

Ohayo, my dear sisters. Gomenasai that I couldn't report here for a while now, I was busy handling...private things. Anyway, yesterday I thought it was a good day to collect some donations, so me and Salina-chan were flying to New Tokyo to do so...
It was a quite slow day, to be honest, the lanes almost completely empty, the usual business of New Tokyo wasn't there at all. But after some time, we were able to get the first one, a Samura-dog...He was carrying lots of valuable Quantum Multiplexors...Five thousand units.
He was a clever man, I must admit that...Acting "nice" to me and Salina-chan...But it was some kind of...too much politeness, not like I'm used to be treated by those dogs, so I knew it was just a trick...He was definatly trying to fool us...Salina-chan seemed to trust him, easily foolable...But not me, I didn't trust this dog. I was asking for the donation then, and well...
Of course, a single million wasn't enough...Not for a Samura dog, not for such a valuable cargo...I was able to convince him to donate more, with great success...
*She giggles* That's better, isn't it sisters ? Anyway, I was done with this dog, so we moved on, waiting for the next...Just a few minutes later there was another one, this time a Hogoshan, and not really a polite one aswell...But well, that's what we're used to, right ?
He didn't really seem to be a clever man...Insulting me, disobeying me...I knew that asking him for a donation would make him doing more stupid things, but well...That's how it turned out. I asked him for not even a big sum, yet he kept insulting me, and eventually did the wrong thing...running.
It wasn't a clever move, but that's what you expect of a Hogoshan...
What a fool...Anyway, we didn't touch the scientists, they were probably captured by the orbit control of New Tokyo. The Hogoshan made it pretty close to the planet, so we had to retreat.
That was it for the day, sisters...More to come, sayonara.
The failure we suffered in Hokkaido against the Emperor's forces a few days ago made me consider abandoning flying combat vessels for a while... so I did.
In war, maintaining the supply lines and of course the good relations by having as much support as possible is as we all know, very important. It is rumored that our allies, the Outcasts have not been satisfied with the amount of shipments of different sorts they received. I went by that opportunity.
I took off with the Tsutsuji and a cargo hold full of consumer goods and departed towards Malta. I avoided using trade lanes, so I remained off the radar for a while. That also made the journey to the Outcasts' homeworld pretty uneventful.
Upon reaching Malta, I had the pleasure of meeting Administrator Jameson in person, as well as several destroyer commanders beholding the security of Omicron Alpha. They seemed to be rather appreciative of the supplies I brought. Following a brief chat, I exchanged the consumer goods for an equal amount of cardamine and departed towards Leiden base, a hidden Lane Hacker installation in Galileo.
I didn't manage to stay undetected on this route however. Some miners and traders spotted my cruising vessel and needless to say, they all thought I was intending to pirate or destroy them... seems the Emperor's propaganda is indeed successful. No doubt they alerted the local authorities, so kept to the nebulas and asteroids from then on, which slowed my progress, but ensured the safety of my cargo.
I reached the irradiated cloud in which Leiden is located without encountering any of the possible imperialists chasing the Tsutsuji. The cardamine was given to the Lane Hackers, who entrusted me with handling a shipment of counterfeit software bound to Malta. I do hope the intense radiation did not cause permanent damage to either the shipment or the Tsutsuji.
Allow me to share a rather amusing experience I had while flying towards Malta. In Tau-23, a Colonial Remnant vessel, designated as Dragoon attempted to bring the Tsutsuji to a halt. He fired a cruise disruptor, then jumped into Tau-37 just as I was going to. Needless to say, I was not foolish enough to jump after him. A minute afterwards, he returned via the hole, giving me a perfect opportunity to escape while his jump drives were recharging.[color=#FF9900]*Sighs* miners...
I finished my run to Malta the minutes afterwards, luckily by the time I picked up the next shipment of cardamine, the patrol vessel was gone. I delivered the drugs to the Sisterhood, to our distribution point at Takada. Good thing I was in the perfect spot to give the Tsutsuji in for some repairs as well. The ship's engines were a bit overheated due to all the navigation in the nebulas and the asteroids may have damaged the ship's outer systems.
At any rate, I hope my delivery satisfies our allies as well as the Sisterhood.
I am very pleased with your recent actions, be it supplying us and our allies, damaging the Serpents supply lines, or just damaging themself. You are doing a good job, keep the good work up!
I have been flying in Kyushu today, where I encountered a Hogosha and a few trading vessels. The Hogosha tried to fight me, something he had to regret soon. The Hogosha vessel is nothing more then a few pices of space dust.
The Trading vessels have been reasonable, at least 2 of them. Another one had to be removed in order to prevent it from aiding our enemies.
As you may already know out beloved Leader Tojo Matsumoto, is currently occupied with dealings elsewhere, she appointed me to fill her place for the time being. Let us hope that she will be back soon.
A Dragon, Ozei Ruousha donated equipment to our cause, I have granted him docking rights on our faciliteis and whenever you are able to help him, please do so.
Now to my daily actions, I moved the Amenouzume to Kyushu, to damage Kusaris economy. Something that worked like it should, I was able to collect a few donations from reasonable traders, while one of them didnt not realize what he was doing, which was punished.The High-Temperature Alloy which was 'donated' by him was offered to a BowEx vessel, which tried to pick it up. Unfortunately the Naval Forces sent a Battleship, so I had to destroy the goods in order to prevent our enemies from using them, before I moved back home. All in all a successful day.
I have been visiting the Miners in Tau 23 today, on my way into the Taus I encountered a Hogosha transport, filled with 3000 units of this Niobioum ore, I sold them to a Miner for quite some Credits.
After this deal I moved to the mining fields, to ask some questions to the Miners, most of them to find out if they would be willed to assist us with some goods.
But the talk was interrupted by a Miner named HRT-CHU, a gunboat class vessel. If you have the chance to show this person that it is a bad idea to treat us in a respectless way, feel free to do so.
I have been moving the Inari trough Honshu, in order to deliver some goods to our bases. While talking to a Miner, which was passing by, a Naval Forces Gunboat decided to attack me, a mistake the crew paid with their lives.
