As we were doing some training simulations, we received a distress call from a Kishiro vessel.
It seems some bretonians tried to push in Taus to bully miners working there.
We quickly headed there and soon encountered two hostile signals in Tau 23.
One of them was destroyed. The other succeeded to escape.
As the sector seemed to be cleared, we moved back to Hiroshima to resume our training.
I met there Watanabe-san, and tried to teach him some basic fighting patterns.
This pilot is promising, but needs some training to refine his skill.
Kusari Naval Forces
Exploration Wing
Kansai Research Station
from: kaigun daisa D.Takata
to: Kusari Naval Forces High Command

[color=#000000]Great Taisho, and officers of Kusari Naval Forces Headquarters
Due to the the last dreadful events around the western boundary. and due to the reconstruction of the Kusari government, raised the important question of the further existing of this wing.
Percent of the political situation in Kusari, a significant change of government and political orientation, it is expected that significant reconstruction of the whole Kusari Naval Forces.
So as the E-wing leader, to inform you, that of the entire personnel, ships, resources, transferred to a combat location and Exploration wing as such [color=#CC0000]no longer exists.
All documentation is stored, sorted and is available for register KNF and representatives of the new government.
My office is still located in the Kansai Research Station, with minimal staff, and I personally transferred and take command of the destroyer Ebisu. expecting further orders.
They tried to leave Kusari to join the Emperor.
They decided one man was worth more than the safety of our people.
They chose to leave those who couldn't defend themselves behind, caring only about their oath.
This is a sad day for Kusari.
Being forced to shoot at our own vessels... A tragedy.
We couldn't let them leave however.
Many paid with their lives.
A capital vessel was destroyed during the engagement.
Another succeeded to jump out of this nonsense.
I wish them good luck... Wherever they end.
There is much to be done to ensure Kusari will flourish again.
For now i will medidate on what we were forced to do today.
Konnichi-wa.
This is a late report regarding what occurred during the escort of Kogi Ariachi to Honshu.
The escort was going well until we reached Honshu.
There, several Dragons were spotted nearby New Tokyo gate. We proceeded to the lane, ignoring them and focusing on the protection of the Samuran transport used by the prefect to move back to Honshu.
Sadly, we discovered soon we ran into a trap. Dragons set up an ambush there. Strangely, some hostile vessels were using the transponders we usually see on the vessels of the so called 'Order'.
However, the vessels were Dragons Katanas.
I suspect the Dragons tried to fool us by using deceiving tactics.
They were dropped at Honshu astroport #3, where a security and medical team took care of them.
Didn't stay however. It seems my fellow officers were struggling against the Dragons.
Quickly took off and joined the battle that was still going on.
I had to eject shortly after.
I was go out in patrol but our peacefully Kusari, what is good thing,had still nothing to offer, except a few transports, some geisha's from sisterhood, blood dragon, and some strange traders like always.
So from where i start...
Last night i was go in patrol with Ryoma-san and we should met in Hokkaido, but on my way i was stop one Bretonia luxury liner in New Tokio system near Shinigawa, ship named "HDS-Hammonia" he had a lot of strange "passenger" and include a Kusarian also, some officer and some Naval forces pilots. Until i was check that odd situation with Ryoma-san to confirm a fact maybe he had permission for that, he jump in a lane and escape me for confirming what he saying. He was speak about some conference that he must go and take those passengers. And i need also clearing for forward acting regarding that ship.
After that i was go to meet Ryoma -san in Hokkaido, i was met him and he was already in some conversation with some geisha from "sisterhood" and one criminal from Dragon clan. . After a while one chick also came in GB vessel. On the end Ryoma-san like true samurai offer a dragon a fair duel what dragon accept, but unfortunately Ryoma had bad day he was badly damaged by dragon but i was pick a his pod. We let that dragon that day because he was fight with honor.
Today i was also in routine patrol trough Kusari, first i was stop, for me still strange to see in Kusari , a bretonin trader in front New Tokio planet. He was ok no contraband, but its hard to me still to adapt on this situation without war. Than i was set course to Shikoku, there i find one freelancer named Edison Trent in his bomber. Nothing strange except his mind, he was looking some friends, he lost them.... i was escort him to nearest station ..he must rest a little bit... i believe he needed. After few sec i spotted two traders in a cruise, i was told them to stop, a few times, they didn't... i was chase them , and when i told them that they will be criminals if they dont stop ....they finally stopped.They are just two freelancers with neon in they cargo, but seems they are little "hard" on their ears, i give them a warning to stop next time when officer of the law told them to stop.
On private message i got warning from KSP officer that we had some alien near Galileo JG. When i was come JG was empty. Than i was decide to go on Kyushu system to check , but all was quiet all the way to JG to tau 29
Reporting the sighting of gunboat class vessel callsign'd 'Poseidon'. That vessel was disrupting the traffic in Shikoku, ransoning the traders passing by.
The pirate was engaged and destroyed by Ishikiwa-san and I.
Later, we received a distress call from a trader in Kyushu. It seems some member of the Farmer Alliance were violating the codex there.
We soon met a gunboat not far Shinagawa.
The farmer refused to release the officers he was keeping on his board and then resisted his arrest.
Sadly, my chimaera was damaged in the fight, and i had to eject.
Met with Shosho Takahashi a gallic in Tau 29. We had some talks while we moved to Hokkaido.
Encountered there several Dragons.
>>>Flight record: Takahashi, Mikako
>>>Time: Week 9 , 818 A.S.
58 days after the gallic offensive, now their traders flit amongst our stars as if they belonged, Farmers Alliance ships have turned: making guerilla strikes, exacting their judgement of the new government. Dragons appear like ghost fleets, making their displeasure with the government evident.
So many enemies, so many casualties. If you are not reading this from your cockpit pilot, get out there and fight.
I also have evidence of actions against Kusari I spoke of, an attack by farmers, namel: Azumi, Akemi.Ai, Saika_Magoichi. This was quickly followed by a dragon wing incursion in Hokkaido including
And the honourable Junichiro Takahashi captured this -RMS-Titanic.
As you know it is hectic out there, sometimes chaotic: but I have faith that Kusari will stand strong in the storm. Takahashi out.
Konbanwa.
A member of the Tokketai met in Kyushu system asked me to relay this message :
MSG: Bakuryō-chō taru Kaishō Miharu Takahashi.
Message Reads: This is a priority alert from Kempeitai military operators reporting from HOKKAIDO system. Following a recent engagement with Blood Dragon vessels, we have begun reading anomalous contacts and communication signatures in the region. This message is forwarded via one of your advisors as we are attempting to contact Battleship Matsumoto for more information.
Dragon and reportedly GC activity is rising in the area. It is advised that Combined Fleet elements be put on alert, and civilian vessels should be advised to avoid the area unless nescessary until we know what is going on. Since KNF-E wing has disbanded, reconnisence elements may need to be delanated from Secondary Fleet.

As i had a wing to join in New Tokyo, i wasn't able to get more intel from him.
Sayonara.
I began a short shift, early this morning, expecting little activity, if any. Perhaps a few traders passing through, but usually nothing of note happens this early in the day. Or so I thought.
The following attached is a Time-log taken directly from my ship's computer, and several raw Guncam images. Put together, they show the event in more detail then I could properly explain with, so I will let them speak for themselves.

03:56 (-14 NTST)
Engagement begins.
03:59 (-14 NTST)
GMG Transport escapes along lane towards Tau-29 Jump Gate.
04:01 (-14 NTST)
[IMG]-Hammer and Tortilla.de.Patata leave scanner range. Later informed of their battle continuing through Hokkaido, until the Gunboat escaped, and the Cruiser returned to Kyushu.
04:10 (-14 NTST)
Approximate time of Cruiser's return to Kyushu. It does not re-engage the GC Bomber.
The Cruiser was warned before he entered Kusari space that such an action was not supported by Kusari law. Originally, he agreed to the point, however, at some point decided that the results of my actions would not be satisfactory, and proceeded to enter Kusari space. He did this with full knowledge of the Illegality of his movement.
While the above is fully true, I must speak in his defense; Were he not present, it may have been possible that the, as yet still Unidentified Freighter/Transport may have survived the engagement. It is also likely that both my ship, and the GMG Transport would not have had the luck that they did, or, that he had no bearing on the survival chances of the unidentified Freighter/Transport.

After ensuring that the IMG Cruiser had indeed left Kusari space, I proceded to search for the Outcast Gunship in Kyushu, Hokkaido, and New Tokyo. I did not run across it again.
