Today was an insane day : At Approximately 03:40 SMT: I was enjoying my respite from leeds by taking some time out on new tokyo. The Alert flashed me; I quickly grabbed my jacket, pills, and made my way out to meet the uninvited.
The system was chaotic; deafening chatter filled the airwaves: accusations of attacks, and their respective denials. I have provided a fragment of the ships log here
Unfortunately I cannot comment on what happened with "Bank.'O.Rocks""sam.ralston" and "anon". I can recount what happened when I arrived in Tokyo space.
I managed to gain the following from scans:
Udder.Doom - Miner , Kamome, adv cargo scanner, mk 8 armour.
[SEF]andromeda - LSF , LN IFF, upholder, disco scanner, mk 8 armour.
[SEF]GajchE - LN , LN IFF, Havoc, disco scanner, mk 8 armour.
LNS-Thrax - LN (LPI IFF), LN GB, deep scanner, no armour.
So, it seems that the incident took place in colorado (possibly shikoku), and continued on into New Tokyo. "Theophilus", accuses "udder.Doom" and "Somnambulic.Profits" of attacking and stealing from him and his wingman. Later "Cow.Plow" Informed me that they were also attacked by the liberty navy, in the same incident.
Whilst "udder.Doom" and "Somnambulic.Profits" maintain that "Theophilus" and the liberty navy attacked them and chased them to new tokyo.
The Liberty Navy and LSF 'escorts' responded to the pirating act upon their people. The victims claim that "platinum ore" is what was stolen from them.
The alleged 'pirates were, apparently:"Pillbug" (kusari), "udder.Doom", "Somnambulic.Profits" OR the liberty navy and security force.
also present during the course of madness:
"Brent.Smith",
"tasmania"
"RamboMambo"
"[7]Moto.Ikan"
"Pillbug"
"Dr.Ock_Oldbins"
"Zukeenee"
"Kishiro|Masaru.Shun"
This is a transcript from my questioning of one of the victims:
"[KNF]Takahashi: So where was it that they allegedly stole your ore ?
Theophilus: They say they are miners and traders, and yet they pirate our vessel and steal
our ore Theophilus: We were trying to get to new Tokyo
Theophilus: Coming through Shikoku
Theophilus: They attacked my friend, and luckily I managed to escape
Theophilus: Then they chased after me
Theophilus: As I came through to New Tokyo they attacked me suddenly and brutally
Theophilus: As everyone stands idly by!
Theophilus: They demanded my hard earned ore and now they say we stole from them
[KNF]Takahashi: I just started shift in response to an alert sorry
[KNF]Takahashi: so it was this udder.doom and who else ? brent smith ? Theophilus: brent smith is a good man
Theophilus: Pillbug, udder.doom, somnambulic.profits and
Theophilus: Another
[KNF]Takahashi: Do you need an escort through shikoku ? Theophilus: What's the use
Theophilus: I have lost everything "
Of course there were other allies present : [KSP]Kataguri, [KNF]Shiki.Tohno, IKN-Ishiyamdera, IKN|Ame-Chan's.Yacht.
After the shift had ended, just myself and Kataguri were left on patrol, when a Havoc, Liberty Navy Guard ship, was spotted and refused Kataguri's requests to return home. The ship was named vivat.
We followed the ship to planet honshu: where it turned and fired on me without warning. I asked the psycho to stop; which interrupted their madness, long enough to initiate a dialogue. Unfortunately I couldn't understand a word they said, so kataguri took care of things. I believe samura-Kouji[/b] was witness to this. During this chase I lost a corsair named "Acetylene".
Kataguris shift ended, and [KSP]Tomimoto.Tachiko arrived shortly after. I met a young hogosha and [AFA]Sousuke-Patro on the way out of NT, and so felt that they would be able to take care of any trouble: I left for leeds where i again saw Samura|-Kouji in good health.It was then that the LNS-thrax initiated comms with me:
LNS-Thrax: may i ask is samura supporting the kusari pirate attacks in liberty
LNS-Thrax: the kishiro says yes [KNF]Takahashi: what sorry ? samura don't support pirates : and the only kusari
'pirate' attacks in liberty that i've heard of have been today
[KNF]Takahashi: and they were both miners or something ..I'll have to check my records
LNS-Thrax: ok its happened before [KNF]Takahashi: they are not actually affiliated with kusari
LNS-Thrax: and its getting worse
LNS-Thrax: ok
LNS-Thrax: they are using kusari as a haven
LNS-Thrax: im rightnow escorting kishiro|woodstock
After defending stokes until the heavy patrols showed up, I made my way back to New tokyo.
It was here that I encountered : Fujiwara.Michiyo, Kusari.Shop-Kunigami, KNF-Natsuzuki, and IKN-Tawaramoto. A dragon (]bd[Hirosho.Horatami) who I have met before attempted to insult Honourable Chen-sama, so i asked him to apologise and leave the system. Later he returned with allies; ]bd[Kusari's.Decline, and Curt:Remmert who were dispatched by Fujiwara.Michiyo. After All of this, I managed to return to my bunk on the nagasaki and got some blissful sleep.

This is just a quick report on something... interesting... that I and my small crew witnessed today.
We took off from New Tokyo and were immediately confronted by an Interspace Neuralnet Department ship pulled over by a naval officer, Kumiko.Arishima.
Keeping silent for the moment, I guaged the situation as it unfolded before my eyes. I was silently startled at what happened. Here is a log of the conversation between myself, Kumiko and The Grey Fox. I have omitted irrelevant comm traffic from the log.
Note, my concern here is not the IND vessel. It was 'let off the hook' by authority acting in the name of the Emperor (that is, all personnel of the Kusari Naval Forces and Kusari State Police). My concern here is the little matter of internal security and bribery that is what I saw before my eyes, or rather, whether this particular officer was acting in the best interests of the Emperor that she has been empowered by.
I thought it best not to intervene to see what actions the pilot, Kumiko, would take. I did not stop to think that she would let the IND container transport go without even confiscating the contents of its cargo hold.
This transmission will be copied to the Council of the Rising Suns for deliberation on action, if any, to be taken. The purpose of the report being in the Kusari Naval Forces action report dump is to show that we do take internal security seriously, and that investigations will happen if any pilot is seen to be acting in a less than honourable way.
Konnichiwa honourable samurais, I'm writing because the increasing of piracy inside our loved Kusari system, the first one i found was on kyushu, was the /CS/Interceptor.shield we fought for 1 hour and 15min straight and unfortunetly i got some problems on my ship panel hud and i had the need to disingage. He is a tough fighter keep the eyes open with him. And the second contact was a Golden Chrysanthemum pirate called Katia, a very disrespectfull girl by the way, we engaged me without any word!!! i could not tolerate that and imediatelly i returned fire, an KSP officer come and helped me, but the pirate got him by surprise, and when i was almost destroying that disgusting ship, she started to run and my disruptor didnt work... it is a pity.. i really would love pick up her pod and cut her head off with my katana for such transgressions. Obs: she behaved quite odd for an Kusarian... some traders said that her language was not common and maybe she was a bretonian spy. I'll gonna investigate this case myself. I really think we should increase the patrol around our system, we cant let it become a second New York gaijin system.

My reverences High Command,
Today, I was joined in my patrol a new recrew named Jun.Okanaya.
We started our patrol in New Tokyo and headed to Leeds.
While we were crossing Tau29 we surprised a Junker capitalship carrying slave.
His name was [B]Dark-san[/]
We ordered him to drop cargo but he refused.
Therefore we engaged him but th cowards fled and docked to the station.
We waited him to undock and we also received the reinforcment of a Respectable Hogosha named [|]Busu
But the Junker, cursed be his name, undocked and quickly redocked to the station....
After a while, he decided to undock again and this time forced the passage.
We tried to stop him but he managed to escape.
And ocne he was in the tradelane he also defamed our Samurai honor by calling us scum at many times.
We pursued him until Tau-23 but lost his track in the asteroid fields not far from Java station.
Please find enclosed the references to the prrof we gathered against him.
Today i got out to secure the kusari space of it's enemy's.
At first i recieved a call that there was a threat in Shikoku. At the time i got there from Planet New tokyo, a hogosha ship was allready at the place and allready eliminated the threat. It seemed he was already on the place.
The hogosha ship went back to New Tokyo and i did as well.
At the Kyushu Jumpgate in New tokyo a Outcast Destroyer entered New tokyo.
He was stopped and questioned. He just wanted to pass Kusari space.
After he refused to turn around and leave kusari space from the place where he came, i ordered the destruction of the vessel.
A Gaian ship also entered NT after the destroyer did. Further was the Hogosha gunboat also present
::Uploading image::
::Uploading done::
The Gaian bomber assisted in the destruction of the vessel. Togehter with the Hogosha ship they did the most damage on the enemy vessel.
From: [KNF]Koudai.Hayate To: KNF high command Subject: Double faced miners on New Toquio
Konnichiwa honourable command, On my last patrol I was informed by our Colonials friends that there were miners attacking them for the Ore they have. I took some evidence and I'm reporting them to be marked as criminals by the KNF since is the second time i see them doing some disgusting things, the fisrt time i did not report them because the situation was so consused that I prefer just to bring peace to both sides.. but now i am sure about that, they are criminals and hungry for ore, they are interrupting our kusari economy and Narita outpost is running low on ores because of the heavy loss. They greeting us when face to face but they attack all convoys inside our home system, We cant let it pass.
Evidence: Criminal names: Miner.Arigato and I.Love.Rocks
And this one should be considered a criminal too, I caught him transporting artifacts inside New Toquio... he told me that was a recearsher, but i took a look on all the papers and he didnt had the emperor licence for such act, unfortunetly our Colonials friends called for suport and I didnt had time to confiscate his cargo or blow him on space...

...Subject: Recent reports and criminals
Konnichiwa honorable warriors,
it seems you have went through an "entangled" matter over there.
Should we had more forces available at that time we would have surely sent them to your coordinates for support.
Our offices have already sent all details of the ships involved to local embassys and will be dealing with the matters.
Your actions to resolve situations were admirable even if sometimes the best that can be done is merely to contain the event to prevent further exacerbation,
and attest gaijin seriousness...
Kusari is of course gladly accepting all those free resources mined..let's say.."out of our borders", someone should tell them few things one day perhaps..but with no hurry eh?
The Kusari Legal Codex and the suspects list as well has been updated accordingly to recent reports of criminals and suspects.

My reverences High Command,
Please find enclosed my report of patrol of Sunday evening:
This is with my heart very heavy that I must announce that I was embushed by military officers and I swear on my life that everything happened as stated in this reports:
I was escorting the Samura|-Hyourinmarou ship from Planet Honshu to New Tokyo System
We were reaching the New Tokyo system Jump Gate when we were halted by 2 military officers named: Ouya Kondo and Hitoha Aono
Ouya.Kondo: "This is patrol Aoi 1, entering system and beginning sweep."
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Ranmaru: I don't even know where Kurile is...
Hitoha.Aono: Aoi 2, establishing sensor sweep
[AFA]Kara.Kokuzoku: It's a Samura run colony out in the Sigmas
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: //wait
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: what?
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Ranmaru: Konnichiwa officers!
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: what is that?
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Toushiro: Konnichiwa.........
Death: Badea has died
Ouya.Kondo: "Hyourinmaru!"
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Ranmaru: *giggles* you sound funny!
Ouya.Kondo: "It would appear that an imposter Naval Forces officer has offered you escort."
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: I can't find them reference in Neuralnet
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Toushiro: Shut up aniki.
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Toushiro: Do you need something, Kondo?
Ouya.Kondo: "Aono, continue with the Hyourinmaru. I will deal with this imposter."
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: you want to challenge me?
Ouya.Kondo: "We do not deal well with spies or those who claim to serve the Emperor when they do not."
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Toushiro: We have some unusual readings here...
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Toushiro: Care to come around?
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: Toushirou
Death: Ema_NSL was put out of action by Calypso (Gun).
[AFA]Kara.Kokuzoku: Maybe magnetic interfearence from Fuji?
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: stay here with me
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Toushiro: Nani?
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Toushiro: Of course.
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Ranmaru: What's going on?!
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: do not follow them
Ouya.Kondo: "Do not listen to him."
Hitoha.Aono: Captain of the Hyourinmaru, I am under orders to execute a cargo manifest and route request of your vessel.
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Toushiro: Be silent, oneechan!
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: they try to fool you
Death: Nihil.Baxter suffered a self inflicted catastrophic decompression.
Samura|-Hyourinmaru: Toushiro: You are what?
Ouya.Kondo: "Your charade has gone on long enough, Tohno. I will have silence from you, or I will remove your tongue."
Death: Calypso was put out of action by Paris.En.Flamme (Gun).
Hitoha.Aono: I advise you to answer truthfully and to the best of your abilities. Am I clear, Captain?
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: you dare ordering a KNF officer?
The situation was very surprising, it was the first time I was halted by Military officers, and indeed they were piloting Chimaera, and their equipment was very common to the one of my vessel (although there were those 2 stranges guns, and this thurster I never seen before...).
I didn't let them insult my honor and I argued with them of who was their impostor. At the same time I wasn't able to find them in the KNF internal database.
I asked them how could it be they weren't in the database and they answered they were members of a special undercover squadrons
[ .... ] Ouya.Kondo: "I am Ouya Kondo, member of the 'Fist of Heaven' squadron, the Emperor's covert wing."
After arguing a while longer and when it seemed clear that they were trying to separate us in order to kill us more easily:
I launched an emergency call to all allied unit, in all channels that I had configurated on my comms. KNF, KSP, AFA and Hogosha. And launched the fight.
AFA and Hogosha aknowledged the call and answered they were arriving. I was joined in the fight by the braves Ranmaru and Toushiro.
Unfortunately, they were very skilled, few isntant passed that we had already the feeling of tryingto hold the ground waiting for reinforcment.. Those guns again, never seen that before ,they seemed different than ours. Their ship were also movign fast, so skilled, I was hardly touching them but my hul lwas alreayd crawling under the fires.
One flash later I seen the Samura|-Hyourinmarou exploding on my side.
At the same time one Hogosha and one AFA arrived to backup me: [AFA]Kara.Kokuzoku and [|]Hitoyoshi .
I kept hope and continued hte fight even if I had no longer shield and nanobots... But then, suddenly, al lsensors started to fails, the control panel was full of red lights and alarm I never seen before.
An ION Storm fell on us and I suddenly lost contact with all other comrades but I managed to reach Osaka depot where my ship is still being repaired.
I understand that the gavity of the last events are far above comprehension and I remain at your disposal for any further information you might needs.
I hope that KNF High Command will not doubt of my loyalty and I am at your disposal in Osaka Station for any debriefing you would like to plan.
Honorable Commanders. I have come across a significant irritant.
This day, I was helping a Farmer defeat a Pirate by the name of
Long.John.Silver in New Tokyo. The foolish Gaijin thought he could
make his home in our space. We were showing him otherwise. The
Farmer sent me a Neural Net image that was quite shocking. It seems
that a ship known as DSE.AI-19xc42-"Miner" encouraged this degenerate
to invade our space. DSE Vessel bringing a pirate to New Tokyo. This is
outrageous as I am sure you agree. In addition the recent influx of
Liberty Navy vessels perturbs me.
As the Farmer and I were on the verge of destroying the pirate, the
DSE mining ship returned, and refilled the pirate with nanobots and
batteries. This is unacceptable! I propose that this vessel be detained
and destroyed (//and Faction Right 5'd) if we ever have the chance to.
That is all for this day. May the Emperor's wisdom guide you.
Today was a rather eventful day, the glorious Samurai forces of the Emperor managed to destroy numerous enemies of Kusari while preserving our samurai honor and preventing Kusari citizens from being lost.
I began my patrol by taking off from Planet New Tokyo, then did a short patrol around Kyushu, Honshu, New Tokyo and Shikoku. I didn't have any encounters besides a few traders passing through until I got to Shikoku. A strange gunboat-class vessel designated as Long.John-Silver disrupted my trade lane sequence, throwing me out to open space. After a short conversation, I determined that the ship belonged to a Freelancer, who rescued some Farmers Alliance pilots from a wreckage and was merely passing through the area. I told him to release the pilots and leave Kusari space, he was willing to follow both orders and left off torwards Galileo. He also jettisoned some escape pods filled with different sort of pirates, I took the pirates to Fuchu and the Alliance pilots to Battleship Myoko.
As I approached the prison, I noticed a Kishiro transport, the Konpaku.Maru transporting about 5000 Bretonian POWs to Fuchu. For security issues, I decided to escort the vessel, who ferried Hydrocarbons to Planet Honshu afterwards. The journey was safe, we didn't encounter any hostiles on our route. Upon competition, I landed on New Tokyo.
A few hours afterwards, I returned to space. I met several members of the Katana wing, that being Sakabatou and Kanadzuchi, and a reserve pilot Jiro Tachibana. I met them in Kyushu, where Tachibana was fighting a fearsome battle with a Golden Chrysanthemum bomber, piloted by Rin Masaki. Tachibana had the upper hand, our pilot was skilled at the art of combat. Masaki's vessel was destroyed, the Emperor's samurai won the skirmish.
Shortly afterwards, another Golden Chrysanthemum showed up in the system, an obviously higher ranking member, called Lady Kurisho. Her original intentions were unknown, but it quickly turned out that she was looking for her lost underling. Chūjō Hajime Hiroito gained command of the Niigata to handle the situation, while the other Katana-wing pilot left off to address other matters. Since the Chrysanthemum had one of our pilots in captivity too, Chūjō Hiroito arranged a meeting to exchange the escape pods. We met the Lady in deep space, near the trade lanes between the Planet and Tsushima. The hostile gunboat and the Niigata exchanged the prisoners and the Chrysanthemum left the area.
Our next encounter was remarkably weird. We moved back to the Planet to release the formerly captive Naval Forces Pilot, but just as soon as we arrived, we spotted a Synth foods train, designated as Innocentius1, escorted by an Order Guard cruiser, baring the designation Elite. Chūjō Hiroito ordered the cruiser to leave Kusari space, but the Synth Foods captain insisted on his presence, since he said he paid the Order captain to guarantee his safety. Honestly, it was really weird to see a corporate captain holding an Order cruiser on his leash, one that couldn't even stand up for his own defence, since the trader was talking all along. The trader attempted to bribe us to let him pass, insulting our Samurai honor and later even refused to apologise. He also admitted that he was supplying the Macduff with the Military vehicles in his hold, that was the point where I charged my guns up. The trader ignored Chūjō Hiroito's orders to cut his engines, make his cruiser leave, apologise for his insults, release his cargo and pay the fine the Chūjō put up, so we were ordered to destroy the trading vessel. The Order escort cruiser cowardly left off, leaving his trader behind, the vessel was successfully destroyed. Another trader, the Timmylo also engaged our ships during the fight, he claimed to be protecting his business associate. We confronted him after the destruction of the Innocentius, failing to negotiate, we were ordered to destroy the bumblebee-class vessel. It was a quick kill.
