Maruso reporting!
I can proudly inform you that I've finished equipping my T-493 "Karasu"
You simply cannot imagine how amazed I am from the speed and agility of the vessel.
The Karasu is,by far,the fastest ship I've seen...and the engines...so quiet but yet powerful.
But anyways,enough about ship.
I also did a so called patrol through the Nebulas of Sigma 19 and 13.
Visiting the old battlefield of the 80 years war was something I also did.
No hostile contacts have been identified or engaged in combat.
Thank god for that.
Maruso,out.
Maruso Reporting.
I've just finished my patrol in Sigma-13 as Katsuo-san's wingman.
As soon as we went near Naha,we spotted two outcasts.
They weren't the smartest pilots around.
Their attempts to extort us failed.
A fire fight followed.Katsuo-san was hit by the cloud of mines created by the two sabres.
Fortunately his pod was safely returned to Naha.
Seconds after that,one of the hispanians abandoned his mate and flew away.
I believe that is because of the verbal fight that had infront of us.
Anyways,I began picking off the second Sabre.
A hour passed until I managed to damage him enough to make him run.
He tried to escape,but failed.
The outcast tried to destroy several patrols and convoys for their supply of fresh nanobots and shield batteries.
Yet again,he failed again.My tractor beam was faster.
Eventually,his hull was decimated by a well placed razor shot.
I also took pictures.
Watching Sigma-13
The following data was collected last night in the Naha lanes.
Arrived at Naha and communicated with a IKN vessel already in Sigma-13.
Her sign is IKN|Amatsu-Mikaboshi and identified as a destroyer class vessel.
Her commander named Shi, mentioned all was clear in 13. GMG-SS1
The IKN vessel was escorting a Samura transport hauling Mining Machinery named Koffer. GMG-SS2
Next a Kishiro transport Kishiro|Kami.Kaze hauling Military Vehicles headed toward Honshu. GMG-SS3
Soon afterward another Kishiro train hauling military Vehicles passed, named [$]Parta. GMG-SS4
Next a smuggler holding Artifacts escaped my request to halt.
I chased him into Honshu and lost his signature when the lane boosted me.
I informed the IKN vessel and returned to 13.
Please add this Dragon transport to the wanted list. Named Praetor. GMG-SS5
At this point Kako-san joined the patrol.
At the 19 jump hole we found two Corsairs named Dominion and Lalito.
They attacked once we requested for them to leave the system.
My 493 was destroyed after a few rounds and our local pilots lifted me to Ogashawa.
Fortunately the IKN was near by and assisted Kako-san in pushing them out of system.
I launched my Stinger and headed to 13.
Commander Shi then contacted me and requested permission to escort several Kruger ships through 13.
I allowed the passage given the IKN's recent assistance to Kako-san.
Kako-san returned to Naha for sake.
While waiting a Freelancer with sign Tarkan_7 passed with Military Parts heading to Honshu.
In addition, [$]Parta with another load of Military parts. GMG-SS6 GMG-SS7
The Kruger transports passed later holding Silver Ore. GMG-SS8
Next passed a bumblebee hauling Nuclear Devices toward Honshu, sign One.X GMG-SS9
IKN then notified me that a AI vessel of cruiser strength was headed to 13.
I searched the system and never made a positive scanner lock.
Note to Kako-san, do we have information on these AI vessels?
The Kruger ships returned to Frankfurt with Robotic Components. GMG-SS10
Later a IMG mining ship headed toward Rheinland passed by holding Niobium Ore, sign This.Ore.That. GMG-SS11
A Zoner ship passed hauling Plutonium, signed [TAZ]Coconut.Tree. GMG-SS12
Then last I witnessed a mining ship hauling Nuclear Devices, signed WizardFalcon. GMG-SS13
I did not scan any Junker ships in system and if they were present they must have been working the clean-up.
The lanes were routinely checked and no pirate activity occurred on this watch.
Send thanks to the IKN commander Shi for his cooperation.
Konnichiwa!
Today on patrol with Juro hara and Tadashi Maruso we encountered a Kruger miner and a pirate gunboat.
The Kruger miner name is " The_Cro_miner ". We started escorting him when he broke off and landed at Helgoland. I was not able to get any pictures of him. To all GMG Para Military if you see him you have orders to destroy him for not leaving our territory when asked to.
At the time Tadashi was on route to sigma 13 when we encountered a pirate gunboat who opened fired on us when we were trying to get him to stay away from the trade lanes. After a brief battle the pirate ship was destroyed. Juro Hara and I headed back to Naha with minimal damage.
Well, today was my first day operating in the Sigmas. I have my Karasu and my Bomber all loaded and ready for service to the GMG. Today was not full of anything exciting, I found a corsair pirating the lane fro Naha to Honshu. I was unable to persuade him, and after about 5 minutes of fighting, he retreated.
My last experience before I landed on Naha and went to bed was rather strange.
A Samura transport hauling Silver Ore entered the system. I kindly asked for a fee of 500,000 credits to service our lanes and Miners. His response...was...well, see for yourself.
His Kindness was astounding. I had no choice but to treat him with equal kindness.
I do hope I have done my duties well. GMG policy is still new to me, and the Para Military operates differently from the Naval Forces. It will take me time to adjust.

*A deep sigh is overheard as the log starts* Charles: At this time, I would like to thank the members of the Guild Board for accepting my request to join in their ranks, getting me out of that damned sushi shop and into what I hope to be a promising career.
Charles: I have prepared a list of vessels needed and and proud to say that two of them have been completed. The Tokesu Maru has successfully begun collecting organisms from the clouds in Hokkaido, and has started shipping them to Ames Research Station in the Kepler system. This will continue until the Tokesu Maru II and my Kaichu bomber have been completely from our station in Okinawa.
Charles: At this current time however, I will keep my face hidden from the video logs until such a time I see fit.
Charles: End of log.
