Subject: Base to Eliminate
Konbanwa,
In Tau-53, I saw the construction of another base called Rebun Mining Facility. I had my fare share of unwanted bases lately, so we will quickly eliminate it and remove it from the cardamine route. It is core 1 and it very early in development, so it won't give us much issues.
We are now in the second day of the siege on Masamune Station, one of the Samura outposts in Honshu. We are making good progress in removing the blight from Kusari. It will not take long until Masamune falls and the grip of Samura weakens in the Honshu system. after which our attention will shift to the other Samura base in the vicinity, Yamato, which the blood Dragons have discovered in the Chuyu Cloud.
The Blood Dragons have provided the heavy firepower to destroy these base, while our Sisters provide the fighter support against the Kusari Navy. Many of our enemies have fallen to our guns already and soon we will achieve victory.
I have just returned home from the siege of Masamune Station, a siege of constant skirmishes over a two day period. During which, I acted as an interceptor. Going after the bombers and fighter crafts that attempted to disrupt the heavy bombardment of Dragon Togos. For two days I did this. My Rapier was heavily damaged in two different firefights but with the assistance of the Dragons were able to conduct field repairs and keep the critical systems functioning. However, now that I am home it will need a thorough inspection and an overhaul for most of its systems. Hopefully this will give me a few days to catch up on some much needed rest.
The following targets were knocked out of combat by my doing.
Due to your accomplishments in combat against our enemies, it has been decided to promote you to hanchō (Squad Leader) of the Gen'an Sisterhood. Your fighting skill has not gone unnoticed.
The first 5 vials of Liquid Cardamine have been sold.
The buyer, Doctor Holliday, agreed to 5 million credits per vial, but upon the delivery he raised the price to 10 million credits. The drop off was in in Sigma-19, and he transfered the 50 million credits to my account. He made it known that he would like us to be his regular supplier.
Doctor Holliday has requested an additional 30 units of regular cardamine.
[06.06.2020 22:10:50] [MFE]Med.Force.One: Commander Haddock: We have you on scope.
[06.06.2020 22:11:00] [MFE]Med.Force.One: Doc, the comm is yours
[06.06.2020 22:11:21] [MFE]Med.Force.One: Konnichiwa, Lt. Mariko
[06.06.2020 22:11:29] [MFE]Med.Force.One: Did I get the rank correct?
[06.06.2020 22:11:31] GC-Yamada.Mariko: Kinnichiwa Doctor
[06.06.2020 22:11:39] GC-Yamada.Mariko: Indeed, you did
[06.06.2020 22:11:50] [MFE]Med.Force.One: Very good.
[06.06.2020 22:11:53] GC-Yamada.Mariko: I brought the package
[06.06.2020 22:12:03] [MFE]Med.Force.One: Very well and many, MANY thanks
[06.06.2020 22:12:38] [MFE]Med.Force.One: It is worth that much to us
[06.06.2020 22:12:52] GC-Yamada.Mariko: Much appreciate
[06.06.2020 22:13:05] GC-Yamada.Mariko: Hope to do business with you in the future
[06.06.2020 22:13:09] [MFE]Med.Force.One: Now, some regular cardi, say, 30 units, would help to at some point
[06.06.2020 22:13:36] GC-Yamada.Mariko: That can be arranged
[06.06.2020 22:13:54] GC-Yamada.Mariko: That request is much easier
[06.06.2020 22:14:26] [MFE]Med.Force.One: I figured. I think we will have a good business relationship with this as sole supplier
[06.06.2020 22:14:28] GC-Yamada.Mariko: I will leave you now. I am sure you dont want us spotted together
[06.06.2020 22:14:40] [MFE]Med.Force.One: Visit anytime or I can come see you.
[06.06.2020 22:14:42] GC-Yamada.Mariko: Sayonara Doctor
[06.06.2020 22:14:53] [MFE]Med.Force.One: Sayanara. Lt.
Two days ago I took Akaibara for a ride around New Tokyo and surrounding systems, there I encoutered our wing consisting of one very heavy fighter, one freighter and one liner, so Akaibara as gunboat was more than welcome.
First of all one of the Freelancers refused to drop passengers on board of his Camara, which really isn't suited for human cargo. After destruction of said vessel we managed retrieve passengers and transfer them to our Liner. Few minutes later we found and intercepted Bretonian transport hauling uncut diamonds. This captain, however unlike the previous one, did what he was asked for so our first demand of 8,000,000 credits was lowered down by 50% to 4,000,000 credits, captain complied and was released shortly after.
Sigma-13 was our next destination there we encountered one unusual group of vessels, which was similar to ours. One liner, one Gunboat, two very heavy fighters. After a little chat we found out it was Orbital Spa and Cruise liner and we exchanged some of their black market stuff for Passengers, captain of their liner agreed to make a comm as soon as they are delivered to Liberty. No hostilities occured even if atmosphere would hint it.
Soon a Federalist gunboat arrived, claiming to be on "vaccation" of some sorts, but soon we engaged said vessel for our reasons, the war they had with Kusari. However due to Ion storms we decided to withdraw, we had managed to heavily damage the gunboat before we did so.
The last thing I would love to inform you about was the initiation through the Trial of Severing, we tasked Saitō "Bōshi" Juri, former KSP officer to drop the escape pods of her colleagues and Naval forces pilots and execute them on spot for their aggresion and sisters taken down by them. Without hesitation Juri-san cut the strings of the past and became one of us. Welcome among us Saitō "Bōshi" Juri.
[24.06.2020 22:42:39] GC-Yamada.Mariko: You again
[24.06.2020 22:42:42] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: "Konbanwa, Mariko. We have company."
[24.06.2020 22:42:44] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "Me again."
[24.06.2020 22:43:24] GC-Yamada.Mariko: What are you doing here?
[24.06.2020 22:43:38] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "I was keeping the usual route to Kepler clear when I came across your friend here."
[24.06.2020 22:43:46] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: "Following me."
[24.06.2020 22:43:56] GC-Yamada.Mariko: She often does that
[24.06.2020 22:44:00] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "I had to be sure you..."
[24.06.2020 22:44:01] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "What."
[24.06.2020 22:44:29] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "Hey, how else am I supposed to somehow make friends and talk to people?"
[24.06.2020 22:44:40] GC-Yamada.Mariko: Am I to belive that after your recent declaration of hostility?
[24.06.2020 22:44:47] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "Hostility?"
[24.06.2020 22:44:53] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "Displeasure, more like."
[24.06.2020 22:45:18] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "Ah, I see what this is."
[24.06.2020 22:45:27] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "You follow more traditional diplomatic tactics."
[24.06.2020 22:45:35] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "I learned from the Libertonians."
[24.06.2020 22:45:36] GC-Yamada.Mariko: You seem to have a chronic case of it
[24.06.2020 22:45:43] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "This is just a simple misunderstanding."
[24.06.2020 22:46:13] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: "What happened to 'It's going to be the little people who suffer for the leadership's decisions?'"
[24.06.2020 22:46:21] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "Again, displeasure."
[24.06.2020 22:46:35] GC-Yamada.Mariko: Ah, again this
[24.06.2020 22:46:55] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "You want to make something of it, or can we actually cooperate to get stuff done?"
[24.06.2020 22:48:03] GC-Yamada.Mariko: Didn't you say you would blow up our transports?
[24.06.2020 22:48:19] GC-Yamada.Mariko: And here you are in a bomber, following a pilgrim
[24.06.2020 22:48:33] GC-Yamada.Mariko: Seems like a clear cut case
[24.06.2020 22:49:16] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "Yet I have clearly chosen not to."
[24.06.2020 22:49:38] GC-Yamada.Mariko: You are too unstable to trust in my view.
[24.06.2020 22:49:38] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "I shadowed this pilgrim long enough for any half-competent Bomber to have shredded it and been gone."
[24.06.2020 22:49:43] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "Too unstable?"
[24.06.2020 22:50:05] GC-Yamada.Mariko: You never kept your end of the bargain ne
[24.06.2020 22:50:32] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "I was expecting it to be cooperation and reconciliation, not dismissal and more dismissal."
[24.06.2020 22:51:10] GC-Yamada.Mariko: Threats followed soon after
[24.06.2020 22:51:20] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "Isn't that how anything gets done around here?"
[24.06.2020 22:51:35] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "The Sisterhood is built upon wreaking violence on the others."
[24.06.2020 22:52:07] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: "Threats don't usually seem like a good way to make friends."
[24.06.2020 22:52:10] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "Ask the people who tried peacefully negotiating with the Republic. I'd start looking in the sump pits for their corpses."
[24.06.2020 22:52:18] GC-Yamada.Mariko: In the light of your threat and your suspicious behaviour...
[24.06.2020 22:52:19] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "Oh, threats are a great way to make friends."
[24.06.2020 22:52:22] GC-Yamada.Mariko: Defend yourself
[24.06.2020 22:52:24] Death: SikiSelim was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[24.06.2020 22:59:58] "Yurushi": That's weird.
[24.06.2020 23:00:07] Hachisuka.Chihaya: Gen'an traitors.
[24.06.2020 23:00:11] Hachisuka.Chihaya: Attacked me.
[24.06.2020 23:00:24] "Yurushi": Do I look like I care much? I mean, not for free.
[24.06.2020 23:00:59] "Yurushi": A shame they still didn't process my application.. such golden opportunity will unlikely return.
[24.06.2020 23:01:33] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "I think I have acquitted myself well."
[24.06.2020 23:01:39] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "One of yours put to flight."
[24.06.2020 23:01:50] Hachisuka.Chihaya: "Or is this you actually trying to kill me?"
[24.06.2020 23:02:23] "Yurushi": I bet a lot of people would enjoy watching you kill each other. Less work for the rest.
[24.06.2020 23:05:26] Death: Hachisuka.Chihaya was put out of action by GC-Yamada.Mariko (Gun).

Subject: Interdicted by KNF Squadron
The Rashinban was forced to eject cargo after an encounter with a Kusari Naval Forces squadron. While most of the squadron advocated for destruction of the vessel or imprisonment of the crew, the leader -designated as 'Ronin'- showed an unusual amount of reasonableness in requiring a fine and destruction only of cargo.
I have not seen this behavior in the Kusari Navy before, and I ask that they be treated with an amount of fairness.
Appended to this message are the log recordings obtained by the Rashinban's communications officer. Please note that I deemed it more valuable to preserve the Rashinban than our cargo, so I will accept any punishment in the place of the rest of my crew.
[27.06.2020 20:39:39] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: Well, this is an interesting encounter.
[27.06.2020 20:39:42] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: Konbanwa. Can I help you?
[27.06.2020 20:40:01] A bounty pool worth $50.000 credits for 1 kill has been deposited in your account.
[27.06.2020 20:40:44] Death: HMS-York was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[27.06.2020 20:41:04] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: I didn't expect to see your troupe carrying those goods, nor using such a ship.
[27.06.2020 20:41:13] Death: Mr._Might_Kite was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[27.06.2020 20:41:28] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: My troupe? I am not certain what you mean.
[27.06.2020 20:41:33] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: Konnichiwa.
[27.06.2020 20:41:52] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: Your collective of angry teenagers.
[27.06.2020 20:42:48] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: But we are not the Kusari navy! I am far older than a teenager.
[27.06.2020 20:43:14] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Seems like the suspect was already apprehended.
[27.06.2020 20:43:20] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: Hai.
[27.06.2020 20:44:13] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: So. What is happening with this particular suspect?
[27.06.2020 20:44:18] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Say, Chrysanthemum. Aren't you embarrassed to fly that hunk-of-junk?
[27.06.2020 20:44:27] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: I thought you lot revered the Akegata.
[27.06.2020 20:45:35] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: Hmph. What a silent person.
[27.06.2020 20:45:39] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: My crew and I simply have a preference for the Pilgrim. As you can see, it is quite capable of taking a beating
[27.06.2020 20:46:26] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: And surviving. Now, may we go? We are only carrying software, which is hardly illegal.
[27.06.2020 20:47:30] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: You are currently identifying as a member of a hostile organisation of the Kusari State.
[27.06.2020 20:48:04] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Have I missed anything?
[27.06.2020 20:48:10] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Negative, Captain.
[27.06.2020 20:48:16] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: Given the current situation, you are to either submit yourself to be detained. Or you will be executed.
[27.06.2020 20:48:21] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: Just on time.
[27.06.2020 20:48:24] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Good.
[27.06.2020 20:48:44] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: The Kusari state started it when they executed my crew running an independent trader.
[27.06.2020 20:48:51] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: This is your playfield, Ronin. Do with it what you must.
[27.06.2020 20:49:13] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: I am not here to argue. Submit yourself or perish.
[27.06.2020 20:49:14] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Aside from usual protocol, is there anything else that can be done?
[27.06.2020 20:49:33] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: We could subject her to a fine and dropping her cargo and let her carry on.
[27.06.2020 20:49:39] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: That in of itself is fine by me.
[27.06.2020 20:49:42] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Doubtful. Chrysanthemums aren't ones to submit easily or ever. Recommended action is to dismantle the ship.
[27.06.2020 20:49:44] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: I like that idea.
[27.06.2020 20:49:54] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: The previous one.
[27.06.2020 20:49:56] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: So my choices are to die in prison or to die here?
[27.06.2020 20:50:04] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: Section 6-1 of the Kusari Legal Codex demands the terrorist be detained or executed.
[27.06.2020 20:50:19] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: True, but that would be too easy.
[27.06.2020 20:50:30] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: This could be a serious blow to their logistical operations.
[27.06.2020 20:50:39] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Not like these "terrorists" are a threat to Kusari.
[27.06.2020 20:50:59] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Law is above all, Chishiki. Just because a captain refuses to cooperate with the Law and atone for their actions in prison.
[27.06.2020 20:51:06] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Doesn't mean we'll have to let them off the leashe.
[27.06.2020 20:51:10] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: If we are not a threat, just let us go.
[27.06.2020 20:51:24] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: I see.
[27.06.2020 20:51:24] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: You are a potential threat, alright.
[27.06.2020 20:51:28] Death: HMS-York was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[27.06.2020 20:51:31] [KNF]'Chishiki'|66th: Noted.
[27.06.2020 20:51:33] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Ronin. Your call.
[27.06.2020 20:51:54] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: I'll stick to my original plan. Chrysanthemum you are to wire ten-million credits to me and drop your cargo.
[27.06.2020 20:52:11] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Failure to do so will be an obvious deconstruction of your vessel.
[27.06.2020 20:52:16] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: That is not what we are to do in this situation.
[27.06.2020 20:52:18] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: I suggest you take the deal.
[27.06.2020 20:52:25] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: Likewise.
[27.06.2020 20:52:27] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: This is a member of a enemy organisation.
[27.06.2020 20:52:35] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: It is very clear what we should do.
[27.06.2020 20:52:36] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: This is but a pawn.
[27.06.2020 20:52:42] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: That is irrelevant.
[27.06.2020 20:52:48] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: I won't put down a puppy.
[27.06.2020 20:52:55] [KNF]Sk.Hattori: Then you're in the wrong line of work.
[27.06.2020 20:53:09] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Hitokiri, I believe you hold higher jurisdiction than the Santo-Kaisa.
[27.06.2020 20:53:19] [KNF]'Hitokiri'|66th|: We'll do what Ronin - and by exention I say, commander Hattori.
[27.06.2020 20:53:22] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: If that is all you ask, we will comply.
[27.06.2020 20:53:31] Death: Mr._Might_Kite was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[27.06.2020 20:54:11] /givecasht 10000000
[27.06.2020 20:54:11] [2020-06-27] 20:54:10 You have sent 10.000.000 credits to [KNF]'Ronin'|66th.
[27.06.2020 20:54:22] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Your cooperation is highly appreciated.
[27.06.2020 20:54:47] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: You are free to go.
[27.06.2020 20:55:01] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: We are sorry for any inconvenience we might've given to you *chuckles*
[27.06.2020 20:55:08] [KNF]'Ronin'|66th: Now get.
[27.06.2020 20:55:17] GC-Rashinban: Nakai: You are kind to allow me to carry on.

Subject: Naval Forces Concentration.
On patrol through Hokkaido I stumbled across a KNF bomber, dispatching it quickly was of ease due to its large size, seemingly with a will to die it attempted to perform a kamikaze maneuver several times, admirable, but not enough. After catching a few traders in New Tokyo, we received a distress call from our sister Hanako, when we arrived there was a destroyer in Tau-23, an odd sight to be sure, we lacked the weaponry necessary to do any real damage to the ship, chasing it through the gate as it fled toward its allies in Languedoc. The strike was a farse, we should bring more with us next time, It has been a long time since I've seen the puppets united like this.
We have discovered a large presence of Kusari Naval Forces. They are gathered in the system of Langueduc. As Katsuki Hanako just mentioned, we encountered a Kusari destroyer in Tau-23 when Sasaki Hanako requested backup in taking it down. It escaped through the jump gate and we chased it into Languedoc, where a large Naval Fleet was waiting for us on the other side. Our squadron was no match for it, but we obtained valuable intelligence about the Naval movements.
We had been aware of several battlegroups moving towards the Tau Sector. Now we know where they are. With them concentrating their effords on the Gallic Front, we have an opportunity to strike them at the back. We will strike them hard, we will strike them with resolve, and we will strike them fast.
Included are the logs which might be used to identify possible targets.
