I then returned to the Planet to find the KNF fighting off three Outcast Sabres. We killed one, and the other two fled. Enclosed are the remains again.
After this, I went to the Shikoku Jump Gate to preach. I then encountered a KNF officer named Byakuya. Soon afterwards, a gaijin Merc named Aion came through the gate. This Mercenary rambled on and on about Miners and some General Yarr, but, nothing of any substance. He ended up firing on me, and the KNF actually joined him in shooting me, and later the Grower's.Pride! Luckily, two more of our fighters showed up, and we killed the traitorous snake. The Mercenary, though, survived until another KNF officer, Kuchiki, appeared on the scene. He stopped the fight, though, I would have rather taught the gaijin his lesson.
The emperor then appeared. A great honor it was to have him personally defend us. The Mercenary was sent off at his command, and we even saw his ship near the Shikoku Jump Gate. He left quickly, though, and this was great luck, as a Synth Foods transport came into view. We took the shutters from its windows.
After this heist, I retired to Junyo. Though the day was rather disturbing, I found the end rather refreshing. Rather an omen that everything will be alright in the end.

Where do I begin. Maybe I should start with the SCRA and them spouting their dribble while I was upholding the customs stop in Shikoku with the honorable Takata of the Black Dragon Society. I would but my brain just hurts right now. They went on and on about how they knew what was wrong in Kusari and how to fix it. Except they did not offer anything but...well nothing. They just preached. Doesn't Rheinland have their own problems? That they think they need to try and fix ours? And the nerve to think they know anything about Kusari. What arrogance.
Takata and I decided to end that foolish conversation and we headed to New Tokyo and set up shop in the lane toward Narita. Met one trader McFly who we had to destroy because he refused to pay the tax. Takata went to Narita to sell the goods that McFly left for us upon his destruction. I disrupted the tradelane and Bank O'Rocks stopped and greeted me warmly. Paying all the proper respect due us. We were having a nice conversation when out of the tradelanes came a nice beautiful ship called Universal [KoF] Sam Ralston along with an LSF escort and a freelancer. Unfortunately I have no names or pictures for you.
The amazing thing was that the Sam Ralston was a Bretonian Freighter!! The gall! The nerve of them to bring that ship into Kusari!! I notified [KNF] Tohno there was a Bretonia freighter in New Tokyo. When I did that the Gaijin started taking off. Bank O'Rocks went into pursuit firing away. I disrupted the ship and before I new it the fight was a foot. After snac'ing the ship a few times and taking fire from behind, Bank got the final death blow in on the Sam Ralston. It was quite a haul for the both of us. Officer Tohno had showed up but because of the ensuing battle I was not able to hear him telling us all to stop. I lost my ship after the Ralston was blown to bits. But I fought hard and help bring down the Gaijin in the Bretonian freighter. We had not even made any demands, but as soon as KNF was notified of the Bretonian ship they took off and what else could Bank O'Rocks and I do but defend Kusari. Upon the destruction of my ship the remaining forces defeated the escorts of the Sam Ralston to the Glory of Kusari!!
I hope that the [KoF] Sam Ralston has learned their lesson....well probably not but one could hope.

Konnichiwa,
Today we won a very glorious victory. With the help of a Naval Officer and a late KSP officer, four /CS/ ships, three Sabres and a Gunship, destroyed, followed closely by a Blood Dragon Bomber. The results are enclosed.
And one /CS/ left to tell his friends on their friends' deaths. A good day. A very good day. At this rate, the Kusari unlawfuls will be dealt with within the year.

Wonderful news to report today Taishi Patro-san. Upon undocking our newly refitted Explorer, Patriots Pitchfork, I came into a most unusal sight. A Consurtuim Outcast Dessie outside of our very capital. The Planetary defenses as well as the gunners on Roppongi where attacking the ship, so I decided to take my chances and wasted no time. No better test for our new ship then combat trials. Well, I used the guns of the planet and nearby patrols to gain an advantage, using the twin razors to devisatating effect. The Dessie then started to move away from the planet, into open space, and I of course followed. Finding myself starting to take a beating, it was like mana from the gods when my comm broke open with the voice of Ryuu-san of the Black Dragons, he call for a situation report, and appeared moments later in one of our fine Mama's. We then proceded to cut off the dessies retreat and finally destroy the masive monstrocity. Dont worry Taishi, they can keep throwing these bloated boats at us, we will keep shooting them down.
Earlier today, I was headed to Shinkaku Station to speak with one of the Samura Sales Reps (an old friend of mine from my Samura days) when I received a distress signal from a Samura convoy that was approaching the Seto system with a supply of military vehicles. It seems a dirty Junker was trying to rob him - a disgrace! On top of that, a rather large BAF ship was guarding the gate.
Luckily, a Gaian, Season.of.Poison, and [KNF-K]Shinai and [KNF-K]Raikiri were able to join in and intimidate the blockade. In the meantime, a pair of Outcast Tridents were causing chaos near the Tau-29 gate, so our convoy moved there to remove them with the Samura|-Kouji safe with the Yamagutchi. The first was called Dr-House and the second Crazy. Thanks to the wonderful engineering prowess of Kusari, we were able to swiftly destroy both. I was quite glad, as you know my feelings about the Outcasts.

Good evening, fellow farmers. I bring news from the Honshu system. I was on my way to fence ... er I mean returning some good that were just floating in space to the proper authorities when I received a distress signal from a ship identifying itself as the Domecles. After cruising to it's location, scans indicated it was an Order Battleship! Worse off, it was being boarded and attacked by Golden Chrysanthmums!
The small security detail that I have on my Yaht were able to board the Battleship, but were unable to hold their position as my men were outnumbered and outgunned.
Unfortunately, I could not stay with the ship, because the boarding Chrysanthmums were activating the ship's defenses. What I did get from the captain was that they were attacked by ... get this - a Golden Chrysanthmum Battleship! Ha! As if those hippies would ever have the resources or know-how to properly maintain a battleship.
The conversation, as well as this supposed battleship location are encoded in this transmission.
Now, I must find a dealer of Hash on this sparsely populated planet.

"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."

Konnichiwa,
Tonight I have taught a very valuable lesson to the Gas Miner's Guild. I have taught one that betraying Samura is a path that will soon yield their destruction. I managed to catch the GTS-Hishui-maru alone in New Tokyo, and I taught him that if he does not ship with Samura, he will find his cargo missing...
After this, I caught one ping-me to be carrying Gate-Lane Parts. I thought they were going to Hokkaido, and so I charged him the usual import tax. He called me a pirate, and so I decided to follow him for the return trip to be inconvenient for him. Lo and behold, he is not going to Hokkaido, but, to the Bretonians. I then told him to turn around and go to Hokkaido. He did.
I was then to retire aboard the familiar rooms of the Matsumoto when a girl began speaking to me. I informed her that I was to retire and that she should return to her husband. If she was a GC, I believe that tomorrow will yield an interesting exist from the system.

Konnichiwa,
So , today I began my first day as an official pilot of the great Farmers Alliance. Having checked my ships systems and weapons, I proceeded to Shikoku. Here I was met by a Samura vessel who was most gracious, we exchanged greetings and information. Observing that Shikoku was clear of foreign traders I moved on to New Tokyo. Here the situation was dire, firstly I encountered two Blood Dragon Gunboats. I did my best to get in their way and warn true Kusarians of their evil presence, but did not engage- it would have been suicide. I moved back to planet New Tokyo orbit to asess the situation.The Samura vessel warned me of strange events in the area, and sure enough an Outcast Gunship and a Hacker Gunboat appeared in orbit around New Tokyo. However they agreed to leave Kusari without incident. Then to my surprise the Blood Dragon Gunboats soon appeared there also and, despite my efforts to turn them from their wicked ways, engaged without warning. I was forced to flee to Honshu. However this turned out to be fortuitous.
Once in Honshu I began normal patrol duties seraching for foreign vessels and enemy contacts. A Zoner Train passed by, but otherwise the system was quiet.
Suddenly the lane I was patroling spawned two hostile contacts. I immidiatley prepared myself, knowing that something was dreadfully wrong. I maintained my composure and took on a jovial attitude until these vessels intentions could be identified.
I had now realised that these were Junker vessels! a fighter and a bomber!
Before I could even respond to the question, the second vessel opened fire. My cockpit shook, and while beginning evasive action I gave my defiant answer!
I had taken some damage, but my resolve was not shaken! I targeted the fighter.
A long battle ensued, I was still getting used to the targeting systems on this new ship. But soon enough the inevitable happened.
I was exaughsted, to tired to follow. I let the second ship run.
I returned to Kagoshima to reflect on the day and rest. Maybe tomorrow will be even better?

Today I began my patrol quite normally. I met one -V.O.C.-Rotterdam, an Ageira shipper, outside Planet New London. Knowing that I could never teach him his place in Kusari there, I offered him an escort to the Honshu system. Once in Honshu, though, I told him that he hadn't payed his escort or import taxes. I also told him that it'd be a shame if the Dragons got to him. I heard over the system comms that he attempted to contact the KNF, but, it appears that the Dragons were attacking both him and the KNF. Almost ironic.
Next I sighted one OSI-Boulder with a ship full of Alien Organisms. I asked him why he felt the need to steal from the hard worker of Kurile, but, he didn't seem to understand. I told him that he should submit himself to me with a token of one million credits for this insult. He told me to wait. I don't like waiting. The Dragons appear to be very coordinated tonight with this third target.
But, soon I met a KSP officer. Sakura Kai was very polite. A very nice woman, though, apparently confused of her role as well. Despite this, though, she is one in service of our House, so we must give her respect. After passing pleasantries, she called me for assistance against a Privateer near Tsushima. roland.orzabal met his fate at the hands of Sakura, Ichigo, and I. Only fitting for such a foolhardy Bretonian.
