Konbanwa,
I have just returned from an eventful patrol of the New Tokyo system. At first it appeared that there was very little traffic but I was soon proven wrong when we came across a large, peculiar convoy of transports.

]bd[Marzoruki.Kimozashi: Isn't this nice.
]bd[Marzoruki.Kimozashi: An entire convoy.
]bd[Shizuka.Tachibana: Carrying munitions.
]bd[Marzoruki.Kimozashi: To spread joy to all.
]bd[Shizuka.Tachibana: A Bretonian, a Libertonian and a Rheinlander.
]bd[Shizuka.Tachibana: It sounds rather like the start of a bad joke.
]bd[Marzoruki.Kimozashi: I like jokes, can you tell me one.
]bd[Shizuka.Tachibana: Perhaps we should request that they drop their cargo and leave Kusari.
]bd[Shizuka.Tachibana: How's that for a joke?
]bd[Marzoruki.Kimozashi: Not a funny one.
]bd[Shizuka.Tachibana: It looks like they aren't interested in complying.
]bd[Shizuka.Tachibana: We should shoot the Bretonian first.
]bd[Marzoruki.Kimozashi: If you truly wish it.

Death: Breiti was killed by ]bd[Marzoruki.Kimozashi (Gun)

We successfully destroyed one transport and dealt heavy damage to several others including their escort. Regrettably they managed to escape even though we received further assistance from Maeda-san.

[color=#CC0000]]bd[-Takeru.Maeda: I see the gaijins are here.
]bd[-Takeru.Maeda: We shall take them down.

Traffic control alert: Morizzle has requested to dock
Traffic control alert: Travizzle has requested to dock
Traffic control alert: Task has requested to dock
Traffic control alert: Henri has requested to dock
]bd[Shizuka.Tachibana: Cowards.

We then came across a small freighter travelling towards the planet. The pilot opened fire without so much as a word and was dealt with accordingly.

]bd[-Takeru.Maeda: Halt, please.
]bd[Shizuka.Tachibana: Right now.
]bd[-Takeru.Maeda: Hum.
]bd[-Takeru.Maeda: Pathetic.
]bd[Shizuka.Tachibana: That was a mistkae

Death: -Tex- was killed by ]bd[-Takeru.Maeda (Gun)

As expected our activities around the capital had attracted some attention. We were soon face to face with a Kempeitai gunboat.

His death was swift.

Kempeitai|Ken.Takakura: Cut your engines, pirate, and submit to the boarding party. Your ship will be searched.
]bd[-Takeru.Maeda: Come.
Kempeitai|Ken.Takakura: Cut your engines now
]bd[Shizuka.Tachibana: Just what we were hoping for.
]bd[-Takeru.Maeda: Splendid.
Kempeitai|Ken.Takakura: drop the pilots Shizuka
]bd[-Takeru.Maeda: We have no intention to surrender to a representative of the false Empire.
Kempeitai|Ken.Takakura: drop the pilots now
]bd[-Takeru.Maeda: did you hear that, sister ? He gives us orders.
]bd[Shizuka.Tachibana: As Maeda-san stated, we must decline.
Kempeitai|Ken.Takakura: Then I have no choice but to take them by force

Death: Kempeitai|Ken.Takakura was killed by an NPC

After a tensions with suddenly appeared at Kusari Order forces our wing took course to Kyushu system to patrol the area and to secure our routes. Near Tsushima Depot from observation range we have encountered a group of Hogosha fighters openly pirating a civilian vessel. We could not stand such things happens in front of our eyes and engaged hostile forces despite of fact that base opened fire on us and launched few light interceptors.

We have managed to take down 3 of 4 hostile vessels 2 of which have fallen by my hand. Wing have successfully returned to base for minor repairs and general rest.

Blood Dragons will prevail!





For a better Kusari.

Konnichiwa brothers.

With my return to you I bring my sword and life back to the service of the True Emperor, our beloved father Hideyoshi.

Today, the Gaijins from the Order set foot onto our lands, into our space. They brought their fleet to defile our lands with their ways, their treacherous lies. They say there is an alliance between us, but they only misuse it to get free passage through our space.

After we found them today, they even had a warship with them. An Osiris class Battleship. They claim that they only wish to protect humanity with it, but it seems that to protect humanity they must try to sneak and lie their way past our defenses. After we intercepted them, Master Musashi himself had a "word" with them. The dishonorable dog or "Captain" of the Order warship, as he calls himself, dared to insult the honor of us Dragons. The Shogun thought it wise to send them back where they came from, without violence.

Though, my eyes do not forget the picture, my ears do not forget the sound. The Captain and his escorts will pay for insulting our honor. His life will be mine. His head below my blade. Destiny will guide me to them again, and next time they will either die in an honorable duel or they will die running as cowards.

Konban-wa, kyoudai. Having recovered from my injuries and passed the psychological testing that follow, I went on patrol tonight for the first time in months. I was lucky: within half an hour, I encountered one of the onteki, and, after some small banter, attacked the crony. The onteki flew one of their Wyrms, so I had hoped for a somewhat acceptable duel. I was disappointed. My taki only lasted ten minutes. Not that I am complaining; easily depriving the Usurper of his minions is always an advantage.

The remainder of my patrol was uneventful, and I returned to Kyoto shortly thereafter.

Oyasumi nasai.

Another flock of treacherous sheep felt the force of Hideyoshi's tide.

A couple of Hogosha gangsters, some Naval ships including a gunboat and a Samura fighter were beaten back to their hideouts. I do not have any pictures of that particular fight, but if anyone does, I urge them to upload those on this network. I only have 2 lost souls who also lost their ships to Hideyoshi's wrath documented...

But that happened just after the main fight.





For Hideyoshi.

Ohayo gozaimasu,

I have just returned from the Honshu system where I encountered a pirate by the name of Rip.Van.Rorry and a Farmers Alliance transport. The pirate showed little knowledge of Kusari traditions and claimed he was the King. He fled Kusari when he realised that he had angered the both of us. Coward!

The farmer then decided he would disrespect the Blood Dragons and the cause we fight for. The guns of my Nodachi did not allow him to make any further mistakes.

They dare to lurk Kyushu, to harm Kusari citizens and trying to spread their cardamine disease into our House. And now they dare the boast about their superiority in front of us. I guess the attatchment above speaks for itself. Report for duty as soon as possible, we will be paying these Outcasts a visit soon. [/color][/indent]

Konnichiwa, brothers and sisters.
Yesterday was a glorious day for the Rising Sons. Indeed, we won a battle that many may have thought lost. Against overwhelming odds, the strength and the honor of the Blood Dragons prevailed.

Even the poor insults of honor-less Hogosha could not stop us from eliminating the traitors to the true Kusari.

<div align="right]For Hideyoshi !

[The Rising Sons]

By request of the Shogunate, Shinji Takahashi will be leading our warriors as Daimyo, while Takeru Maeda and Sakurazawa Kaoru are hereby promoted to Roju.

All of you haven proven your strength and wisdom in every situation you had to face within Kusari borders. Don't fail the Taishogun, brothers.

Noboru, Takahashi and I just returned from the skirmish we launched into Tau 23 against Outcasts and allied forces. These latter seem to be Gallics, who proved to be total cowards. As for the rest, no casualties, we made our message clear.


I also have to mention the victory achieved by our most recent pilot who defected from the Naval Forces, Yuriko Saito, who fought an Outcast battlegroup alongside a KNF wing yesterday near New Tokyo Jumpgate in Honshu.
