A series of quite odd events has occured tonight in Sigma-13. I've been called to help commander Shimakaze escort Gallic Royal Navy taskforce trough our system. They were on a diplomatic mission, and moving towards New Berlin system. Since I was in Okinawa at that moment, I failed to arrive on rendezvous point at schedule so I missed Gallians. But since nature of their journey was not hostile, I wasn't quite needed there anyways.
After some time on a patrol duty, I caught another strange vessel on my scanner. A Rheinland Cruiser-class warship. It was halted and interrogate about nature of his presence in GMG territory, but he was not responding. I followed him to Aomori, where he docked, and soon after returned back to Rheinland. Moments later, a Kruger Behemoth also wandered into Sigma-13. It was halted and forced back to Rheinland.
And finally, my ship got some action. A Corsair Praefect-class cruiser was wandering around Okinawa. GMG bombers intercepted him and they required assistance to take him down. Since I was flying my faithful Karasu, I was not quite helpful against a Corsair, but I did my best. We crippled it, and it run back to Kamakura. He indeed was strong on his tongue, but his fighting was rather poor.

Ryuki Katsumot has proven to be quite the pilot and without a doubt I’m sure will benefit the Guild. He has shown he can protect GMG sovereign space and our assets. Therefore I am promoting Ryuki Katsumot to Santou Kaii (Ensign). Keep up the good work…
After months of leave on planet Miura I am back to my regular duties, some of which are the regular patrols throughout GMG space.
..pouring sake into a glass..
This day, like many others was full of events, who knew huh?
First of Commander Shimakaze and I started checking our mine fields in Okinawa and to our surprise we found a Freelancer Borderlands Transport ship full of artifacts. Needless to say we stopped him and gave the man a warning, upon which the contraband was destroyed.
..flashes back from a combat with a Black Dragon that took place in the same spot..
..smacks himself on the face to snap back..
"Where was I?"
"Ah yes, Zoners."
After a completed patrol of Okinawa, and a few harsh words from IC, Commander Shimakaze and I run into a bunch of Zoner Whales in Sigma-19. OSI, that was the name, ignorant bunch, seem to think this is all fun and games.
..takes a sip of sake..
Alot of activity from Gallia nowadays, they even started diplomatic negotiations with Rheinland, interesting, very interesting. Not long after the brief interaction with Zoners, Commander receives a report that some Gallic convoy is heading towards Sigma-13 from Honshu. With haste we rush towards the Honshu Jump Gate in S-13 to welcome our new friends from up north. It was a medium sized convoy, but It packed alot of protection, a gunboat several fighters and bombers, and a Liner, Lucullus class liner, first one I've ever seen. "Must've been someone very important, you don't see those liners very often."
Nevertheless we escorted them through Sigma-13 to Frankfurt. Upon returning back to Naha we caught up with our new Santou Kaii Ryuki. Commander left us to finish up patrolling through S-13 while he went back to Okinawa to checkup on a reported Corsair.
..tries to fill his glass up with sake, but there was no more..
"Ah it seems that I have run out of sake, I'll have to make this one brief then."
Santou Kaii noticed some kind of freighter had just entered S-13 so we went to check it up. When we arrived to Helgoland we had something to see. Kruger!
We stopped along side and inquired as to why is he in GMG space. After no explanation we kindly asked him to leave GMG space and escorted him back to Frankfurt.
"Ok done, now to send and get some more sake!" ..pressing the necessary keys rushes out of the door, yelling: "Till next time!"..
The GNBG are proud to bring the members of this glorious Guild their latest news!
Earlier this week, the most esteemed Guild Master Taro Katsuo brokered a deal with the Bretonians, acquiring the necessary licenses to conduct Hyperspace Jumps to New London. As all of you have figured out already, this means that we now have a direct shipping line to the Southampton Shipyards, where we'll sell our valuable and much needed Helium-3 to the Bretonians.
Our Zoner friends from Kumo Outpost will provide us with the ships and technology needed to initiate Hyperspace Jumps. We'll learn to work closely with them as time goes on, as this mutual investment opportunity grows ever more profitable.

I was patrolling the base perimeter of the illegal AI structure and firing long range Nova torpedos at it, when the enemy responded. Three Cruiser class ships and one super heavy fighter class Drone appeared, even though not all took part in the engagement.
I called for backup, and a GMG| Eagle reported it. Sadly Ryuki Katsumoto's Eagle blew up shortly after we engaged the Drone to an unlucky mine hit. I retrieved the pod and returned it to Naha.
Using the ALG base as cover, I continued shelling the AI base with Novas, not doing much structural damage, I think. I used the time to talk to these creatures and to find out about them what I could.
Noteworthy might be this part:
Quote:[04.05.2013 09:34:41] GMG|Mioshi.Hakamoto.: What has driven you out of the Omicrons? What do you even hope to achieve here?
[04.05.2013 09:34:43] [AI]Di'taraAlpha: :: gathering supplies ::
[04.05.2013 09:35:12] GMG|Mioshi.Hakamoto.: The S13 fields are practically cleaned. The ALG will move on. There is limited ressources here, as you might have realized.
[04.05.2013 09:35:17] [AI]Di'taraAlpha: :: What the omicrons have little, the sigmas and kuskari have many :: :: But there lies enough for us all ::
[04.05.2013 09:35:27] [AI]Legion: :: This was intended to be a door, opening a way to exchange resources and information with your kind. I doubt this is an honourable" motive by now, though. ::
[04.05.2013 09:35:28] [AI]Di'taraAlpha: :: There is the H-fuel and helium 3 ::
[04.05.2013 09:35:41] GMG|Mioshi.Hakamoto.: Do you really hope to tap the H-Fuel ressources?
[04.05.2013 09:36:16] [AI]Di'taraAlpha: :: We do not need the substance ourselves, but it provides a "bartering chip" with other omicron factions ::
[04.05.2013 09:36:31] [AI]Di'taraAlpha: :: we never intended to simply take the miners by force :: ::
[04.05.2013 09:36:42] GMG|Mioshi.Hakamoto.: You cannot even mine it. You lack everything. And you made the ones who can... ah. Interesting. That's worth another torpedo.
I can confirm the stationing of at least 3 Cruiser class AI ships in S13.
[AI]Legion
[AI]Di'taraAlpha
[AI]H-Occam.Razor
I can confirm the arrival of 1 Drone class AI ship in S13.
[AI]Nazca
I can confirm the identity of a supply ship
[AI]L-Cataract - Renzu Liner class
I retreated after about 30 minutes of standoff. And about 40 torpedos fired. Military victory was impossible to achieve against 3 Cruiser class vessels on my own.

Yesterday, I promised the AI 100 million stings that would slowly kill them. Yesterday, it was only words.
But I was taught to never make a promise that I would not be prepared to keep.
Today, we made them feel the sting.
There were some more vessels destroyed on their side, but I was not present at these early stages of the combat.
Enemy strength update:
> 4 Drones were operating near the base. Conclusion: Their number has increased.

[AI]Steamroller
[AI]DefensiveDrone
[AI]AstraPioneer
> 4 Cruisers were sighted near the base and taken out.
The Paramilitary has been hard at work removing that scrap next to hegoland. We have had all sorts of ships there, from Kusari capitals to Hessians. I'll let the pictures show the truth, though.
There was, of course, much more scrap made then this. I just enjoy these shots the most.

Konnichiwa Guildsmen and Women,
I'm busting out the good sushi knives tonight and for good reason.
Because I'm royally ticked..
While we have been known to ship fuel to those 'under the table', we haven't had any problems with our buyers as of yet. Until tonight.
While on patrol around Naha due to the fallout from the recent toaster attacks, I decided to check out Hegoland, and to my surprise I came acorss a bunch of Hessians firing upon it.
I didn't think much about it at first, until one of them had the outright gall to demand 100 million credits from me. Yeah. And I'm a Samura stockholder..
They had the company of an [RETRACTED] pilot. Kinda ugly ship he flew but eh, I'm not complaining. He told these... Von guys... to stop firing upon me, so they did for a while and me the [RETRACTED] pilot talked for a bit until Kako arrived. I told her what happened and the Von's made off to sigma 17.
We followed em for a bit and when I jump into the system, they were firing upon us and both the [RETRACTED] pilots.
Then we wasted all three cruisers.
I'm holding all current visuals on this incendent for further study and putting forward a recommendation to halt all current Hessian fuel shipments til these morons can be dealt with.
P.S. I'm trying out a new sushi dish I just thought of. I call it... Blood Dragon Tempura. Fried Eel and Rice coated in a curry based crust... MmMmmm Spicy!
