The Situation of the Golden Chrysanthemums is currently deteriorating rapidly. Several reports are reaching my desk of both exogen infestations and rogue members defecting to outside factions.
In the case of the latter, we have identified a former Kiretsu pilot -Hanako.Ayuka- who has fled to the Hogosha. We can only assume it was of free will, and that all information known to Kiretsu is in Hogosha hands. Fortunately, -our- information is classified, as it shall remain.
>CONFIRMATION OF KIRETSU DEFECTION SIGHTING<
<::/>
However, this offers us an opportunity. This former entity may be used as a vehicle for further infiltration by our own covert ops agents into the Hogosha. It is, for the time being, to be kept alive for further use. If no use becomes available, it will be -repossessed- and re-integrated into our own use.
---
As for the Sisterhood, it has nearly totally lost it's co-ordination aside from the sole Kiretsu wing, is wracked by internal conflict, and is no longer tactically effective. We are to continue defense of GC personnel, but are not to deploy on joint operations unless it is mutually beneficial, and our own forces are in command positions.
As well, we are to begin non-aggressive recruitment of independent GC pilots and affiliates to prevent further defection and make use of the sisterhood's waning resources to prevent them from being further compromised. As well, we are to screen any and all Sisterhood personnel we encounter for Exogen compromise. Exogen compromised individuals are to be either acquired for Consortium use or destroyed.
Policies toward Kiretsu will remain as-is aside from the changes mentioned above unless further de-coordination or anomalies continue.
Earlier today, stabilization team Zulu-Four was assigned tasking to dis-service hardpoint designated 'Ohashi' in the Shikoku system, to allow freedom of Navigation via the transit lane there. As well as destroy Kusari civil defense macrophage entities.
Units Interceptor.Shield, Tacitus, and Skyshield translated via Shikoku and assaulted the station. Encountering significant resistance. Biotics included Kusari Police, Hogosha, and a Gaian. All were successfully destroyed or forced to flee, with the loss of the Skyshield unit to area denial charges.
While shield units were conducting wrap-up, several Bounty Hunter vessels entered the area and attempted to Engage. Tacitus unit destroyed one quickly, and the other fled. Soon afterward, the Gaian was also destroyed.
The station itself was then engaged. With several missile and torpedo hits. Inital damage report indicates the facility has suffered damage primarily to weapons and sensor systems. By this point, tactical units were low on ammunition and recalled. However, all primary objectives were completed, follow up strikes are planned on response forces and repair crews.

about an hour ago, Sirian time, I have completed my first of many deliveries of the needed materials to Ainu hardpoint. In this run, I acquired and transported 500 units of Ship Hull Panels and 1150 units of Light Arms from Trafalgar base (Junkers), located in the New London system. I was escorted by Joichen.Wiedemenn, who tractored in 3 guns we found on an Outcast LF wreck for further research at Ainu hardpoint.

This is now my second journey to Trafalgar hardpoint. From there, I purchased 2150 units of Light Arms and delivered them to the Outcasts on Siracusa hardpoint. From there, I purchased 2150 units of Black Market Munitions and delivered them to Ainu hardpoint.
As I was traveling, I changed vector multiple times in order to survey the numerous wrecks I found along the way. A number of them were located inside a minefield, but after testing my shields, I deemed it safe a proceeded to survey them further. After the survey was finished, I came into possession of the following weapons, which are now lying undamaged in my cargo hold:
3 Disinfector Class 8 Guns

My mission coninues as planned. Hogosha transports are moving artifacts from planet crete in exchange the provide crete with food. As of yet I cannot do much to a hogosha transport myself so I have taken the liberty of gathering some..."Help" and I am planning to set up a base here soon. On another note I have yet to infiltrate the HAF militia or the Council of Elders but due to my Corsair tag I've been able to infiltrate some of the Order. I will be considering it though...

This is EMUN unit, informing the Logistics about the completion of one of the many to come trade runs to Arranmore.
First, I delivered some H-Fuel to Arranmore directly. Then, following the agreement further, I proceeded to the Omega-50 system to purchase some 'booze' Although the Corsair patrols are a significant threat, I managed to pass through unscathed. Before returning, I purchased an amount of Gold and changed my vector towards Kyoto base. The return trip went without any complications.
The Ishkandur is completely operational. The Destroyer is currently stationed in New Tokyo as a miniature supply base for the Chrysanthemums, and we can spread propaganda from our vantage point. Until we receive contradicting orders, we will continue these activities.

Overwatch forces conducted a planetary raid on planet Kyushu this afternoon. Combined Airwatch-Blackwatch operation aimed at collecting civilians from the surface for Augmentation and use in crewing new vessels being integrated into the fleet.
Operation initially consisted of DDK-24 and DDK-88 deploying in orbit, with Landing craft and strike packages of strike fighters deployed to secure airspace and destroy any intrusion from hostile space forces. No resistance was met initially, we approached via the Nebula and caught the defenders by complete surprise. The planetary defenses took some time to activate, by which point our bombardment had breached their planetary shield.
Decoy MIRVs and orbit-to-surface precision bombardments commenced to cover the landing force of Harvest mechs. Chosen targets were three villages on the south-western Island-continent on Kyushu. The deployment was largely successful, though the Tetshuo was significantly damaged by several surface-to-orbit missiles. By that point, landing forces and ghost drops had reached their Rendezvous points on the planet's surface.
SPMA guns and portable anti-aircraft defenses secured the Landing Zones while the Harvesters deployed to the target villages. PAC-57 was the only landing craft lost during the engagement. But the returns were significant enough that it was inconsequential. Landing teams Alpha, Charlie, and Gamma encountered only minor resistance due to the shock of the invasion. Harvest teams quickly moved to the villages and began gathering members of the population.
Orbital bombardment continued in support of the surface forces, but the Tetshuo was heavily damaged from repeated surface to Orbit weapons, and had to be towed back. Hostile space forces were only detected when our surface elements were withdrawing. Losses of allied troops were well within the 65% sacrifice rate margin.
As the strike force withdrew, DDK-88 "Mindcloud" was left behind to delay hostile fleets. Planetary defense vessels approached and destroyed the Mindcloud, but it's contingent of recovered civilians and land forces had been evacuated to other ships. A hostile force attempted to move in toward Ainu hardpoint, but did not merge or attempt to attack.
Our operation was totally successful. Vessels Lost were inconsequential.
Local Police Forces (Insufficient Threat)
Civilian Resistance (Insufficient Threat)
Planetary Military
Several Tanks, exact numbers unknown (Confirmation of 12 destroyed and recovered)
Combat Mecha, exact numbers unknown (At least one encountered and destroyed at village 'Charlie')
Kite Atmoshperic Drones (Engaged by Landing Group Gamma, seen supporting armored re-inforcements)
Indeterminate Mechanised Infantry (Several recovered by Harvest drones)
Outcome: Strategic Victory

Headcount is continuing, recovered human subjects are being prepped for Augmentation and recycling at this time, to replace units lost in action.
