Konnichiwa! I've started my duty yeasterday in Honshu system. I received orders to wait for other KNF personel near jumpgate to New Tokyo. After few minutes of waiting from that system arrived:
- [KNF]IKN-Niigata
- [KNF]Hiro.Barakuda
- [KNF]Kagakagari.Takaya
I received orders to form up with Hiro Barakuda and in this squad we stared patrol around Honshu.
Patrol was safe and easy. We didn't notice any hostile activity in system. When we back to New Tokyo jumpgate and preparing to jump my ship just...stoped. All lights were turn off...I couldn't do anything exept transfer myself to IKN-Niigata. After that incident I was safety deliver to New Tokyo planet.

[color=#FFFFFF]Konnichiwa. I passed training a few days ago and gained the honour of Kaigun Chui. I can now serve the Emperor!
My first day on patrols was unusual to say the least. I arrived at planet New Tokyo and found a Spatial in orbit. It had a Gateway Shipping IFF, but the name was registered to the IMG (1). And equipped on the ship were guns my database could not identify (2)(3). I later learned, after the incident, that they were Gallic guns.
I requested information on where the pilot had purchased the unknown weaponry. But he just flew in circles, and spoke the occasional word of gibberish. I did not believe he was well, so suggested landing on planet New Tokyo to see a doctor (4). He moved back to planet New Tokyo after moving away (5) before, but then attempted to engage his cruise engines and fly away again. I cruise disrupted his ship, and he turned and opened fire (6).
My mouth ran wild for a second there (7) but I responded and began my attack. The pilot continued to fly in circles as he had before, occasionally turning to fire. The Hikari No Ken arrived at the scene and requested to know what was happening. I told him and he charged his weapons to prepare to attack the Spatial (8).
The fight continued (9) but eventually the Spatial was destroyed by a shot from the Hikari No Ken (10).

Todays patrol started from the Shikoku system at Battleship Myoko.
At the New Tokyo jump gate i encountered an Liberty rogue wich was ID'ed as Transport-024 . I ordered him to stop for a cargo scan, as expected he went into cruise. I managed to get close enough to discover that his cargo was full of Cardamine. Unfortunatly he escaped into the clouds and dispeared.
Nothing more of interest happend during the rest of the patrol.
I then docked with Planet New Tokyo.
Second Patrol Report.
I started my patrol from New Tokyo with Shoi Hijikata Toshizo.
I met a trader that told me that there were an suspicius ship stalking the lanes between Shinagawa station and Honshu jump gate, it turned out to be an Hogosha that were waiting for an comrade.
On our way to Kuyshu we met up with Hiro Barakuda and continued into Kuyshu.
After we had patroled Kusari space we decided to hone our skills in some fight simulations. After this we decided to take a second check on New Tokyo and Honshu.
In Honshu we encounterd an Gaijin trader wich was ID'ed something like "Hurricane" and had military vehicles in his cargo. He refused to drop his cargo when commanded to do so and tried to escape, since he gave us no other choice we opened fire upon his ship with deadly force and destroyed the ship, and took care of the military vehicles.
We then went back and docked on battleship Sado were i ended my patrol along with the others.

[color=#FFFFFF]Konnichiwa. Another successful day serving the Emperor!
Today I undocked from planet Kyushu (1) and set a course for the New Tokyo system for a patrol. I arrived at planet New Tokyo (2) and then began my patrol of the system.
I completed my patrol and I arrived at the Honshu jump gate with the intention of jumping when a Kruger Collusus transport arrived. I asked if it needed an escort (3)(4) and after the captain accepted my offer I proceeded with him to Narita. The captain docked, sold his cargo and proceeded to Shinagawa to load in new cargo. We then proceeded through Honshu (5)(6)(7) and he was seen safely out of Kusari space.
I then saw a ship on the edge of my sensors and proceeded in a direction, hoping to find it. I was lucky and managed to locate the ship. The ship itself was unregistered, but the IFF read Liberty Police Inc. and I found this very confusing (8). Two ships with malfunctioning IFFs in two days.
I requested the ship stop for a cargo scan but it was silent. I requested again and asked for an explanation concerning the IFF after I fired a cruise disruptor (9), and it spoke several words in what I believed to be some sort of code.
This continued for several agonizing minutes. I tried to be polite but when the only answers you receive are in some sort of code, or just an outright no, it is difficult. Eventually I grew tired of his blatant disregard for myself or his coded transmissions so I attempted to place him under arrest. He tried to cruise away which I prevented, then with my battle cry I opened fire (10).
After a short while it attempted to engage its cloaking device (11) but I destroyed the ship before it could complete the action (12). I then proceeded to land on planet Honshu (13) for a brief rest.

It had been a while since my last patrols due to some persistent technical faults in my Chimarea, which caused sudden power outages in flight. Today, however, technicians assured me that the craft is most likely to funcion properly, at least for a while.
I met up with Chūi Kurosaki Takeshi in Hiroshima. We started to patrol towards Honshu system.
While going on a lane between Akita and planet Honshu, a hostile unidentified contact appeared for a second on our radars at about 14k distance. Unfortunately, as we assumed search, the contact disappeared and was nowhere to be found. Takeshi made a very valid gues that he probably used some of the shady jumpholes and left the system.
Just a minute later, we spotted quite an interesting contact on Osaka-NT Jump gate lane. A Rheinland bomber sitting next to a tradelane ring. Mariko.Kietan. was the ship's callsign, which I assume corresponds name of the pilot. The vessel had no IFF signal.
The pilot acted in a mysterious manner and didn't state what exactly her business in Kusari are, and, most important, why are she sitting in a Rheinland bomber on a tradelane.
Quite a long conversation ensued, in which we tried to find out what the situation is about and what should we expect from this vessel.
What we found, is that this person originally belonged to Golden Chrysanthemums, but left them for Bretonia prior to war. The ship she got as a present from some privateer. Ship itself is not a standard Rheinland model, but is slightly modified.
(About at this time Shōi Hijikata Toshizo reported to the location)
As it went on, we understood that this person blames the Kusari for starting a war, and tried to question us of our loyalties. That we found unacceptable.
Takeshi offered the pilot a chance to leave the system peacefully. Offer was refused and a fight ensued.
Just as I started combat, I felt my Chimarea shacking and its lights flickering. Apparently, the technicians were wrong about the condition of my craft. Since there were other two KNF pilots on scene, I reported the system failure and disengaged. I made it about 17k from site of battle toward planet Honshu, when my systems blacked out completely, leaving me drifting in space for several hours till I managed to get the emergency generator to work.

[color=#FFFFFF]Konnichiwa. Today I have served the Emperor well!
I chose for today Leeds to base my patrol around, and moved to the area. I had heard there was a Chimaera pilot, a part of the Primary Fleet, in trouble there. The last name of this pilot eludes me, but his first name was Kenji. I proceeded to Leeds to assist Kenji-sama, and arrived at the Nagasaki. I quickly docked (1) and then proceeded deeper into the system.
I found the scene close to planet Leeds. Just as I left the trade lane, I saw Kenji-sama's ship explode. I immediately felt anger at the Gaijin who did this, BAF|LtCdr.John.Clay. I swore to avenge Kenji-sama and moved in to attack the Challenger-class bomber, first giving my battle cry (2).
The battle was long. The Gaijin coward began to avoid jousting without a shield, where as I faced him in whatever case as a true warrior should (3). After a long fight, I managed to destroy the enemy bomber (4).
There was another BAF ship present at the scene, a Templar-class fighter piloted by Admiral Lee Adama. I gave him the choice of fleeing, which he took (5).
After this, I moved back into securely Kusari-dominated space and, to my great honour, patrolled with a member of the 113th. He filled me with information about the 113th, which made me respect them even more.
I include now another picture, which was what I said after my victory in Leeds. That is all for today.

Incoming Transmission
Communication ID: Kyoko Hasabe, secretary of Chujo Hajime Kitao Location: On board the Imperial Guard battleship Akagi
I have few news concerning Imperial Guard.
Firstly, battleship Ryujo was transfered to our service from primary strike battlegroup with all arnament and crews. It's currently undergoing retrofition at Yokohama shipyard. Battleship has been registered once more as [KNF-IG]-IKN-Yamashiro. Congratiulations to commanding officer Takeo Kurita and ship staff for being noted in their service in such fashion!
Name:[KNF-IG]-IKN-Yamashiro Class:Encho Crew: 873 Docking: Restricted to approved personnel alongside with with any military ship of Kusari. Further information requires level Phi access.
Secondly, gunboat [KNF-IG]-IKN-Nowaki has been commisioned and transfered to the Imperial Guard as generous gift from Kishiro Technologies. We're gratefull for such action on your own in hard times of war.
Name:[KNF-IG]-IKN-Nowaki Class:Kagero Crew: 7 Further information requires level Phi access.
And thirdly, Kenji Rokurou from Honshu Rokurou family has been allowed to join Imperial Guard in order to restore his family's honour.
The technicians have finally found the cause of all the problems in my Chimarea and I was given a green light for a patrol. (as I found out later, they had forgotten to connect the wiring of guncam's memory device, though, so all the shots I captured thorough the patrol were lost).
At the very beginning of the patrol I met a pilot of 113th division Kenzou Tenma outside Shinagawa station. He was about to finish his patrol, so after a bried conversation we parted our ways.
I went to New Tokyo's orbit, where, I assumed cargo scans of passing craft. The traffic was quite heavy today. As I scanned the passing ships in order of their appearance, I found two freelance transports carrying military vehicles. Unfortunately, they docked with trade lane heading to Kyushu before I had chance to order them to cut their engines.
I immediately followed and finally caught up with them at Thsushima depot. I ordered them to stop, which they did right next to tradelane ring.
Freelancers, ship callsigns Gibson and Jimmy_Buttes, asserted that their destination is Battleship Yamaguchi. They also said they are not aware of Tau export restrictions. They offered that I can escort hem to their destination. However, as I was considering their offer, they suddenly darted forward and docked with the tradelane. As I was caught mid-sentence with my microphone in hand, my reaction was a split-second late.
I assumed the chase, simultaneously contacting them over system-wide channel do get explanations of their actions. They answered that they have a schedule and, if I wish to escort them, I have to keep up. I began to have suspicions.
As I followed through Taus, almost every tradalane's last ring was down, which only confirmed my that these freelancers are on one hand with Bretonians. And right I was, as I got to Leeds gate, I managed to catch a glimpse of them on my radars, clearly heading to planet Harris.
I moved as close to planet and battleship as I deemed safe and began to wait. I was intent to intercept them on their way back and make them pay for their lies.
Soon they undocked and moved off the planet. However, after spotting me they changed their course promptly and went deeper into the barrier. I set my Chimarea on an intercept course and slowly gained up on them. I was about 3.5k away from these two vessels, when I finally noticed their destination - an unknown jumphole, moslt likely leading to some Bretonian system. They made a jump.
Communication log excerpt:
Quote:[17.10.2010 15:14:59] [KNF]Taiki.Ono: I don't like being lied to, freelancers

[17.10.2010 15:15:47] Jimmy_Buttes: i reccomend against following us
I considered following them, but taking an unknown jumphole into enemy territory seemed to great a risk to do alone. I made a thorough scans of the jumphole, recoded it's location in navigation map and returned to Kusari to file my report.

[color=#FFFFFF]Konnichiwa. Yesterday, I achieved a great victory in Kyushu.
I was heading to the jump gate to Kyushu in New Tokyo when I saw an Outcast Tridente. I told it to stop but it jumped which I took as an attempt to flee, so I followed it to Kyushu (1). I told it I would not allow it to escape, and in an act of cowardice it opened fire without a word (2)! I was insulted and shocked but I recovered quickly and began my attack. Thirty seconds later, a friend of the Tridente in a Sabre (3) arrived and also joined in the fight against me (4).
Well, they learned soon not to mess with a soldier of the Emperor. The Sabre was quickly taken care of (5), and then I could fully focus on the gunboat (6)(7). A Hogosha bomber arrived at the scene and then began to assist me against the Outcast (8), whom by now I believe to have accepted his fate. The Tridente was destroyed in a beautiful spectacle (9), and it shall show as a warning to all of them not to oppose the soldiers of the Emperor.
Those were the events of my patrol yesterday. Tenno Heika Banzai!

---- Subject : Zoner Heavy Destroyer Detected With Contrebands On Board ----
* - Location : New Tokyo System -
* Cargo Scanned : Counterfeit Software. The commodity is considered Contraband by Kusari House laws.
* Additional Punishment : Death And Cargo Destroyed.
* Evidence : None. Didn't have time to take it.
During a Patrol with another pilot, we found a Zoner Heavy Destroyer Class : Fearless, we detected on board contrebands, but, our target did not want to obey, he prefered to take risks and to struggle against our authority. He forced our blockade, that was a pure mistake. The target was eliminated in New Tokyo system.
