The day started well, I was ordered to confront a Naval Forces wing with a few fellow Dragons. We took care of them easily.
Many of them were captured, including some officers, and are being interrogated on Kyoto as we speak.
An unknown vessel showed up on my scanners. I determined it was an Outcast on its way to Hokkaido.
He was told to leave the system and escorted to the Hokkaido jump hole.
That is all for now. For Blood and Honor brothers!
I spent my day patrolling Chugoku, and Tohoku. After arriving at Ryuku base, I proceeded toward the Tekagi's Arch.
I encountered some ships in Tohoku, and after approaching them and carefully scanning them I noticed some strange markings on the hull.
They were the Aoi Iseijin. They opened fire on me and I retaliated, quickly disposing of them. I managed to tractor in some sort of escape pods. I will head to Sendai as quickly as possible.
Finally I flew around the Arch, what a magnificent sight.
I revieved a transmission from a Sister in the Chrysanthemums, known as Aki.Shikyo, who seemed rather pleased by the fact she managed to trick a Naval Destroyer into handing over pilots and money to the Chrysanthemum cause.
She headed to Kyoto and we exterminated some intruding Naval ships together.
After our patrol, she said her goodbyes and I thanked her for her assistance.
It's good to be back in my Orchid, and I collected some prisoners too!
So I spent the majority of the day getting my Guard Identification for my Orchid.
There were a few rogue Naval Patrols and a Base deep in the Chugoku clouds, but my Supernova Antimatter Cannon made short work of them.
After I achieved Guard Identification on my Orchid, I brought out my Blossom to continue my patrols. I encountered a friendly Hachiman Gunboat and he assisted me with my work.
I worked on the same Guard Identification for my Blossom, I landed to take a rest halfway, but I collected some prisoners. Soon I will have my ships both Guard IDed!
So I was patrolling in Kyushu when I came across an Independant Trader and his escort, I kindly asked for a donation when they fired on me, forcing me to run...
Later on though, the two seperately contacted me and paid 300k each!
I then met with Red.Dragon, and we moved into New Tokyo, attacking some Samura Depots and Ships at Yokohama Shipyard.
We then headed to Shikoku and came across two curious traders... Lucky for them they paid a donation to our cause!
We them met yet another Trader, this one generously gave more than double what I asked... He was nice.
We moved back to the lanes and Katherine.Crowe joined us, another trader came from Liberty, whilst Red.Dragon was fighting a Naval Ship.
The Naval ship forced us to fire on it, then defend outselves, the Trader died due to his inconsiderate actions, and he targetted me.
After a long time of defending myself and evading, I was forced to cruise off, back home to Chugoku, I do hope Red.Dragon and Katherine.Crowe are ok...
I patrolled through Chugoku and came across Yuji.Yamasuto, he was in a bomber so we decided to snag some Gaijin in New Tokyo, we headed there through Honshu.
After jumping we secured a lane and stopped an adventurous Miner, in a GMG Transport. We asked nicely for a donation, and after realising he was poor, halved it.
He payed up and we left him alone, deciding to head to Honshu again, and along one of the lanes, we met a Gaijin trader.
He rudely refused a donation, shot at us, and attmepted to run, with dangerous cargo of Plutonium. Fearing the safety of the Kusari people, we stomped his danger out, with a well placed SNAC.
Not much else happened so we swiftly returned to Kyoto.

Konnichiwa !
I have conducted patrols today in Chugoku and Tohoku systems.
Met some traitorous pilots of KNF. Probably their rookies on patrol exercises because they showed lack of combat knowledge. Most of them I caught With my tractor beam and now they are proud residents of our cells in Kyoto.
During my patrol of Tohoku I met our brother from NovaPG called Implosion.
At very end of my patrol, when I was heading for Kyoto docking bay, our sensor network picked up an intruder in Chugoku. They alerted me and I proceeded to intercept him. Sensor tracking showed that he left Chugoku and entered Tau-63.
I then informed Implosion and another NovaPG brother Juntoku.Genji of intruder.
We proceeded to Tau-63.
Unfortunately hunt was futile because he was forced to dock Mito Shipyard by station defences.
He is currently in custody of Mito security force and is interrogated as to how he managed to get information on Tau- 63-Chugoku Jump hole position.
His fate would be better if he met us in space. At least then the death would be quick and relatively painless.
Gun-cam is not operational so no pictures.
Many of you already know, and for those of you that do not, I have been declared Shogun of the Rising Sons of Kusari. The Taishogun deemed that I am worthy of such honor, and I will not fail him but will only amplify his trust in me. My blade is at his disposal, and forever shall I serve him with honor!
After I was granted this honor, I took my ship and flew from Chugoku toward our Shipyards in the Tau-63 system, to receive my duties, and to see what is requested of me. Upon launching to space from Kyoto, a Nova Generation pilot was outside, but it would seem that he had some troubles of his own, since he did not responded to my hails, so I left him be.
I continued toward the Tau-63 system as Kyoto reported no hostility anywhere in the system. Some Ashigaru Dragons were conducting their patrols in the system. It is a magnificent sight to see them flying in their Dragons, they have much to learn, much to accomplish in life and we must guide them.
Soon I entered the system, and glanced my eyes on Mito Shipyards, the pride of each Blood Dragon. My docking hangar was awaiting me, so haste was needed. On my approach I was hailed by the shipyard, and they informed me that all is ready for my arrival.
As I landed my welcome was kingly, and pride entered my heart, never to leave again. This honor that was given to me by the Taishogun, I will not easily attest it, but I assure you I am more then capable to defend my Taishogun from any and all threats. And I will do it with honor! Enemies of the Taishogun beware!
That would be all brothers. Sensei, I will not fail you.
An unexpected thing occurred today, one which requires deliberation and discussion. It is not a common sight to witness what I have today.
As I was on Mito Shipyard, in my chambers there, getting ready to depart and return to Kyoto to begin my doings, I received a strange and mysterious hail over my private frequencies. Who dares to breach the Shoguns personal channel! Firstly there was a long silence over the channel, so I assumed it was a malfunction, and continued what I intended. I took my Katana and undocked from Mito, what a breathtaking sight!
But then the silence stopped, and an unknown voice began speaking. Who dears to interrupt a Shogun! I will have their heads for this! He introduced himself as Classified! How disrespectful! To hide your name infront of a Shogun! This is unheard off!
As he said, he was a former Order Commodore, that defected from the Order because of some discrepancies that he has had with the Order High Command. Although I was raged with his actions, I was curios to what he may want. There is nothing in the world I hate more then the back stabbing Order scum, and any enemy of the Order, is worthy of at least hearing him out.
As I was talking to this Gajin, a brother Dragon, came from Kyoto, and we decided to proceed to Hokkaido, and meet this Order Commodore, to see his intentions. As we entered the Hokkaido system, his vessel appeared on the scanners, along with another vessel that he described as his escort. A Gallian of some sort, weird Gajin they are, lacking manners and a proper language! But we were calm, as calm as one can be in a presence of an Order Commodore, former Commodore yes, but still an Order one.
This is all for now brothers, we shall decide what to do with this Order vessel, until then they are to be considered neutral, and shot on sight if they enter Chugoku without escort of one of our own. But if they do anything that you consider dishonorable or untrustworthy, you can take their heads of their shoulders.
