Two days ago, I have decided to take a quick look at how thins go in Kusari space. Soon after undocking, I have met two Golden Chrysantemums in Hokkaido, one member of the official organisation, named Osugi Sei, the other named Hiromi Kawabashi.
The two sisters proceeded to New Tokyo immediately. Meanwhile I had to do some repairs on Ainu. After the said repairs, I joined the sisters in New Tokyo, where they have, just as I came to the location near planet New Tokyo, managed to acquire two Dragon pilots from the hands of Hogosha.
But soon after I came, a Naval Forces gunboat named Hashima-Maru arrived at the scene, saying he had to " do some house work". By that he obviously meant destroying our ships. What he did manage, though, is getting his ship destroyed by our hands, no doubt killing inniocent men and women on board his ship. Such is the ignorance of certain men or women. I do hope they will get a decent burial at least.
After this event, i gave one of the Chrysantemums these shots from my gun-cams, thanking them for their help. Then, I decided to meditate on these events. Please, do excuse me for a somewhat late arrival of this report.

Konnichiwa Brothers,
Today, after one week of rest, I returned to Space. There I met two of our brothers, Cheng Lo and Hirosho Horatami.
After spending a while in Space, we found a Pirate affiliated to Outcast attacking a Civilian Transport. We were a bit late and the Civilian ship was already destroyed. When we stopped the Pirate, he stated he had worked with Dragons and had gained trust of the Shoguns, but sadly, he had no way to prove it. Therefor I had to offer him a fair fight, where Only the Worthy one survives. He failed to prove himself ...
After that Hirosho-San had to depart, and we decided to return to Chugoku, there, me and Cheng-San started a bit of practice but after a while, we noticed a Freelancer explorer vessel close to Kyoto. We stopped him and asked him reason of being there, and he stated that he was "Exploring" the system, Which was not acceptable in any way. We had to make sure records on his ship is completely destroyed, and also we couldn't risk letting him dock on Kyoto to take care of the problem.
After making sure the vessel and information on it is completely destroyed, we returned to Kyoto for a short rest.
Later that day I decided to return to space once more and gather some donations for our movement.
There, I came across an "Albatross" class trade vessel.
He unwillingly payed 500k to our cause and left by threatening me that he would come back! That didn't take long and after a short time - which I assume he spent on unloading his cargo in nearest Base - he returned and attacked me after a rude insult.
Using such rude words about Blood Dragon Warriors shall not get unpunished, and the foolish Gaijin got what he deserved.
After teaching him some manners, I came across a Samura Trade Vessel, whose Transmitter was broken, because I was not receiving anything but Statics.
Obeying will of Taishogun, I made sure that rat will not get away unharmed, and teached him a lesson of fire and pain .
After this incident I returned to Kyoto to end my day with a nice Sake and also, to fill this Report.
I shall be back in Space after a short rest, and I will admit, Katana does magic when it comes to teaching gaijins some lesson!

Konnichiwa dear brothers,
It has been long since I left a transmission for the blood dragons, but i shall sum many events all in one. A while ago i was promoted to where i am today, Roju. Many little talks and skirmishes have occurred since the last transmission.. Recently, if my memory serves me right, i went off to battle with my new Hachiman.
But, sadly, i was not informed of the entire situation, and my ship was overrun by pesky fighters....
***End of Video Transmission***
// Sorry guys, i lost a lot of the screenshots during my computer wipe.
I was alerted by a recruit of a suspicious ship headed out towards Tohoku. To my surprise, it appeared to be two of our GC sisters, Rin Masiki and Amy Masako.
I say 'appeared', because whilst a Nomad can fool the unknowing, they cannot fool the head of our Nomad research Unit! I have been studying the Nomads and their spawn for years - and I know their face when I see them.
When confronted, Misaki-san sought to defend her sister from any accusations. Understandable, but foolish. The Creature in the guise of Masako-san attempted to use simple mind tricks and subterfuge - but it knew the game was up.
Other Dragons came onto the scene, and the creature used the resulting confusion to slip away. I pursued it, and fought it all the way to Omicron-92. I broke off pursuit, my Katana having neither the range for sensor capabilities to dare go further.

Konnichiwa Brothers,
Sadly, I had a Navigation System malfunction on my Nodachi, and when I was returning to Kyoto last night, I flied directly into Station wall, which disabled my ship engines and my right hand is also hurt.
I will do my best to recover faster and join you honored brothers in space, but I might be unavailable in space for the next few days or weeks.
It is now clear that sections of the Kusari Navy can no longer recognise a threat when they see it. So desperate are they to maintain their forces for the war effort - they allow the unhinged access to military command!
And worse, these clearly insane commanders are openly consorting with alien vessels - defending them and making overtures of friendship.
Cheng Lo was able to take down the alien ship, at the cost of his own when fired upon by the defending IKN destroyer. he is to be commended for his bravery!
There can be little doubt now that the Kusari Navy is compromised by alien forces. I urge all Dragons NOT to entreat with them! Keep your distance - or terminate with extreme prejudice. There can be no middle ground with that which is not even human!

Konnichiwa brothers.
Sum-Gok-Li-sama, word has reached my ears about the incident you were involved into, with the Kusari Navy, and the aliens. As if our troubles are not numerous without them allying together against us. Wisdom is required on this matter. I shall meditate on this, and present this matter to The Taishogun, He will use His calmness and eternal wisdom to decide what actions are to be taken.
As for our brother Cheng Lo, I heard he was safely transported to Kyoto's sickbay, and will be recovering from his injuries soon enough. Nonetheless, he is to be awarded for his bravery, and unquestionable skill! A worthy member of The Rising Sons indeed!
Also brothers, as well as Gok-Li-sama, I have witnessed some troubling events yesterday. But please, hear me out.
As I was in my daily meditation, a brother Dragon entered my chamber, stating that there is some trouble with Ryuku base, and that we have lost contact with them. No time to waste, I took a wing of Dragons and proceeded to the Tohoku system as soon as possible.
As we entered the Tohoku system, I opened a channel with Ryuku base, but received only static and scrambled communication. Something was wrong, and me and my brothers felt it.
We proceeded towards Ryuku when I picked a Sister Chrysanthemum, Rin Masaki, accompanied by a strange vessel, whose shields my scanners were unable to breach. I ordered the Dragons that were with me to stay at Ryuku, if any trouble occurs, and proceeded towards Masaki-san.
But as I approached the strange vessel ran, or at least that is how Masaki-san explained it. I contacted Ryuku again to see if there is any improvement with their scanners and communication systems, we needed the base scanners, as it seemed that the system is filled with unwanted vessels. No response came, so I proceeded back to Ryuku, while Masaki-san went to find the strange vessel.
While closing in to Ryuku, the base hailed me, confirming that they have fixed the problem, and their communication system is operational, but the scanners were being jammed by an unknown signal. At that time Masaki-san contacted me that she found the vessel we were looking for, and I proceeded toward her position. As I was approaching her, the strange vessel again entered my scanning range, as well as a two KNF vessels!
What were we to do, but agree to join with the KNF vessels in order to deal with the alien looking vessel. But the KNF had other plans, as soon as strange vessel started to move towards the Heaven's Gate, they threatened us to leave, as the alien vessel is under control. I refused! And was prepared to fight against all odds, to fight against the two KNF ships and the alien vessel to defend my home!
But...Masaki-san, had other plans in mind. First she attacked the KNF fighter, quickly destroying him. As I was arguing with the KNF ship, she apologized to me for doing this, said that she is unable to stop herself, and she opened fire on my ship. At first I refused to attack a sister Chrysanthemum, but she was persistent in her will to kill me, and finally, I returned fire. Something influenced her mind brothers, possibly the alien vessel, I do not know. Sum-Gok-Li-sama will know better. My ship was badly damaged in the fight, and Ryuku engineers were able to salvage but 1 gun camera shot.
Later, one of the KNF ships tried to play a mind game with me! Suffice to say that a mind of a Dragon is more powerful then any trick the KNF can pull!
A sad day indeed, even sadder for our Sister Chrysanthemums, for losing one of their members. I hope Masaki-sama is alive, but there is little hope.
Decrypting Encrypted Datafile...:
Due to a recent outbreak of Rheinland Speckled Body Lice among the Kyoto dockworkers, I am ordering a general Quarantine and Inspection Order on all people and ships entering Kyoto.
All people entering Kyoto are required to submit to full body decontamination before being allowed passed quarantine. Refusal will result in denial of docking rights.
All Dragons are required to run scans on all ships approaching Kyoto, be on the look out for any unusual life-signs or biological contaminants. Any suspicious ships shall be refused docking rights until the infestation on Kyoto is cleared.

Konnichiwa brothers.
As you all may know the Aoi Iseijin have increased in numbers, and are threatening our home. Our sisters, and brothers are in danger, and we must prevent it in any way possible.
For these reasons, there will be some restrictions implemented for the Tohoku system. Dragon ships are NOT to approach the Arch within 10k. Patrols are to be increased around Ryuku base, and the Chugoku jump hole in that system, as well as around the Hokkaido jump hole area. But remember, do not approach the Arch. I will be patrolling the system as well, and will be spending more time on Ryuku.
That is all brothers, use caution, wisdom, and common sense when in Tohoku. The Aoi Iseijin use tricks, and we must be careful.

Konnichiwa, esteemed brothers.
Today, the venerable Akuji went on a hunt. We had roamed Kyushu and the Taus, in search of prey. We discovered an Outcast gunship that was simply meandering about. As we investigated, it merely opened up with all cannons and fled to Baffin. It was easily disposed of, taking no effort at all to brutally ravage.
We returned to New Tokyo in search of trade to interdict. Only a simple mining ship managed to fall into our laps. It was so small and pathetic. We received two point five million credits each...a rather hefty sum.
I now return to the Ken Boshi No, awaiting any calls that you may have for me.
Sayonara.
