COMM ID: [color=#33FF33]Captain Ryan Kirkwood, LSFC-Death.Valley TARGET ID:Liberty Navy High Command SUBJECT:Zone-21 Breach, 818-6-26 ENCRYPTION:High PRIORITY:URGENT
Several hours ago, the Death Valley was called to Zone 21 to investigate a potential security breach that had been flagged a transport subcontracted by the LSF. Upon arriving at the Alaska Gate, we located a pair of Kusarian vessels bearing the transponders of their military.
We attempted to detain and interrogate these intruders, but they evaded immediately, and fled from Zone 21 across the New York system, where we tracked them all the way to the Colorado Jump Hole. At this point, the fighter broke off from formation and disrupted our Cruise Engines, permitting the Gunboat to successfully jump to Colorado. In hindsight, we made the error of pursuing the Gunboat, rather than seizing the fighter; but by the time we reach Colorado, the Gunboat was beyond the range of our scanners. Due to an incoming ion storm, we were forced to moor above Planet Denver and leave the pursuit to other Naval vessels summoned over the emergency channels.
From initial reports, the vessels "Ichitaita" and a third vessel "Shimekiri" were caught and destroyed by Navy forces. The "Umisachihiko" evaded pursuers and escaped. We have no information about the capture of any Kusari pilots at this time.
Our communications log is attached.

[26.06.2012 18:34:54] Umisachihiko: Tsk tsk...
[26.06.2012 18:34:57] Umisachihiko: Silly Libertonian..
[26.06.2012 18:35:00] Ichitaita: I see they've made their decision, then.
[26.06.2012 18:35:40] LSFC-Death.Valley: Breaching the Zone 21 perimeter is a capital offense.
[26.06.2012 18:35:56] LSFC-Death.Valley: Cut your engines and prepare to be boarded.
[26.06.2012 18:36:13] Umisachihiko: Ryu: Like hell, Baka Gaijin. I am an agent of the Kempeitai.
[26.06.2012 18:36:16] Umisachihiko: You will not board this ship.
[26.06.2012 18:36:17] Ichitaita: It seemed as though we were invited, the defenses were so lax.
[26.06.2012 18:36:28] LSFC-Death.Valley: Thank you for providing confirmation of identity.
[26.06.2012 18:36:37] Umisachihiko: It is no secret.
[26.06.2012 18:36:57] LSFC-Death.Valley: You must be the clumsiest Kempetai agents I've ever heard of.
[26.06.2012 18:37:07] Umisachihiko: Oh, I think not.
[26.06.2012 18:37:26] Umisachihiko: We were nearly able to waltz unhindered into a restricted zone.
[26.06.2012 18:37:32] Umisachihiko: I think that speaks volumes about your security.
[26.06.2012 18:38:05] LSFC-Death.Valley: Security which takes moments to respond to your presence.
[26.06.2012 18:38:32] LSFC-Death.Valley: One would swear that your commanding officers are trying to start a war.
[26.06.2012 18:38:54] LSFC-Death.Valley: An amusing prospect considering Kusari's pathetically small fleet at present.
[26.06.2012 18:38:56] Umisachihiko: And one would same the same for yours. Sheltering a traitor and receiving classified information from him.
[26.06.2012 18:39:34] LSFC-Death.Valley: We'll be the judge of that. He is now under the protection of Liberty.
[26.06.2012 18:39:50] Ichitaita: Oh..?
[26.06.2012 18:39:58] Umisachihiko: Hai, of course. You wish to protect him for passing secrets to your government.
[26.06.2012 18:40:02] Ichitaita: The secondary fleet vessels at Manhattan earlier didn't seem very protective.
[26.06.2012 18:40:06] Umisachihiko: But do not fret, we will find him. [26.06.2012 18:40:13] Ssgt.Best.Boy: Sir.
