I found a strange sight in Shikoku: An LSF signature in a Bretonian gunboat. Before this, I encountered a Maltese pilot, possibly recently departed from Kinkaku-ji. Lately Maltese activity on the Shrine base has increased. Sadly a navy gunboat got me and I needed to return for emergency repairs
[03.02.2020 00:17:31] -|-Alana.Leoz: Hola, GC.
[03.02.2020 00:17:53] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Konbanwa
[03.02.2020 00:18:10] -|-Alana.Leoz: You've got an infestation.
[03.02.2020 00:18:28] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I got pesticide
[03.02.2020 00:18:54] -|-Alana.Leoz: I can see that.
[03.02.2020 00:21:43] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Good evening ladies.
[03.02.2020 00:21:55] -|-Alana.Leoz: I wasn't expecting that.
[03.02.2020 00:22:04] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Liberty... you are far from... Liberty
[03.02.2020 00:22:15] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: I'm just on vacation. It seems Kusari decided Liberty is a good vacation spot as well.
[03.02.2020 00:22:34] -|-Alana.Leoz: Huh.
[03.02.2020 00:22:43] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Imaine going on vacation with a warship
[03.02.2020 00:22:55] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: It's a luxury yacht.
[03.02.2020 00:23:06] -|-Alana.Leoz: Its Bretonian. There's nothing luxury about that ship.
[03.02.2020 00:23:12] -|-Alana.Leoz: Except perhaps the tea-making facilities.
[03.02.2020 00:23:20] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: I beg to differ.
[03.02.2020 00:23:25] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: This bloody cannon.
[03.02.2020 00:23:26] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I got long range scanner. It shows a gunboat class
[03.02.2020 00:24:59] -|-Alana.Leoz: Looks like you've got company
[03.02.2020 00:27:35] Death: GC-Yunoki.Misaki suffered a self-administered loadout error (Missile/Torpedo).
I managed to pirate a group of 3 large transports full of Niobium ore. They all paid 6 million credits each, which I split with Sister Miki and a Maltese pilot called Jose Ortega. There was also a freelancer with the callsign 'Siren' The captain promised to bring me cardamine, but thus far hasn't returned.
[03.02.2020 00:59:12] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Konbanwa

[03.02.2020 01:02:33] ShadowBosS: thats a little bit too much

[03.02.2020 01:05:42] GC-Ide,Miki: Awh. I was sort of hoping they wouldn't.
[03.02.2020 01:05:42] Space-Movers.inc: now do us a favor and kiss a planet

[03.02.2020 01:05:54] -|-Jose.Ortega: 10 each is reasonable.
Sister Miki went to scout ahead towards Kepler. After a while and she hadn't returned, I followed her. There I found the LSF gunboat I encountered earlier in Shikoku. It seems like there are hostilities brewing between Liberty and the Corrupted Kusarian Government. We shall see what happens and take our advantage from it.
[03.02.2020 01:38:58] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Ah, another Chrysanthemum.
[03.02.2020 01:39:22] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: I hope you didn't mind the intrusion, it was intended towards the current reigning government.
[03.02.2020 01:39:23] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Hai, there are more of us
[03.02.2020 01:39:52] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: They have a habit of intruding despite our warnings both on the neural net and in local communications.
[03.02.2020 01:39:58] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: So, I paid them a visit.
[03.02.2020 01:40:01] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: How come the sudden interest in the... oh
[03.02.2020 01:40:20] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: The next warning will be us burning down Shikoku until they get the message.
[03.02.2020 01:40:24] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Intrustion is one of their many flaws
[03.02.2020 01:40:27] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: It happened once, it will happen again.
[03.02.2020 01:41:23] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: As long as you won't let our sisters get caught up as collateral damage
[03.02.2020 01:41:32] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: I've no ill will towards your sisterhood.
[03.02.2020 01:41:52] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: In Liberty, us women are as equal as the men, and often times better in some ways.
[03.02.2020 01:42:06] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: While your affiliation might make travel difficult, swing by in a neutral vessel sometime.
[03.02.2020 01:42:15] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Everyone's treated equally poorly. [chuckles]
[03.02.2020 01:42:22] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: We don't mind if some Kusari navy warships end up as scrap. It makes our life easier
[03.02.2020 01:42:43] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: If you happen to be in the area when things pop of, the Liberty Security Force would welcome the support.
[03.02.2020 01:43:17] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: We shall see what happens.
[03.02.2020 01:43:49] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: And as long as any trouble you cause isn't in Liberty, we've no ill will towards your cause.
[03.02.2020 01:44:59] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Well, we must be off.
[03.02.2020 01:45:07] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Need to keep the peace in Liberty still.
[03.02.2020 01:45:20] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Yes, I only came to see what Miki was doing
[03.02.2020 01:45:28] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Also discussing with myself, and a few Navy pilots.
[03.02.2020 01:45:31] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: She told us you were here
[03.02.2020 01:45:32] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Do be safe.
[03.02.2020 01:45:46] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Sayonara
[03.02.2020 01:48:41] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Found you
[03.02.2020 01:48:46] GC-Ide,Miki: You did.
[03.02.2020 01:48:51] GC-Ide,Miki: I wasn't hiding!
[03.02.2020 01:49:03] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Encountered an LSF gunboat in Kepler
[03.02.2020 01:49:35] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Seems like the Kusari government made themselves some new enemies
[03.02.2020 01:49:39] GC-Ide,Miki: Mmhm. I met them too.
[03.02.2020 01:50:10] GC-Ide,Miki: You think it'll amount to anything?
[03.02.2020 01:50:15] GC-Ide,Miki: Sounded like sabre-rattling to me.
[03.02.2020 01:50:45] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I doubt it.
[03.02.2020 01:51:05] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: but if they do, the first priority is the secure our own interests
[03.02.2020 01:51:38] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Can't have us get caught up in a naval crossfire
[03.02.2020 01:51:55] GC-Ide,Miki: Definitely not. Let them shoot each other and we'll pick off the stragglers, right?
[03.02.2020 01:52:02] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Exactly
[03.02.2020 01:53:09] GC-Ide,Miki: This cloud is grim. Heading back.
[03.02.2020 01:54:16] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I really want some sake at the bar
[03.02.2020 01:54:28] GC-Ide,Miki: You and me both!
[03.02.2020 01:54:32] 2020-02-03 01:52:02 SMT Traffic control alert: GC-Yunoki.Misaki has requested to dock
[03.02.2020 01:54:33] 2020-02-03 01:52:04 SMT Traffic control alert: GC-Ide,Miki has requested to dock
[03.02.2020 01:54:37] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Meet you there!
Miki-san can fill in if I left anything important out or if she has additional information to share about the Liberty Navy
