During some trading runs aboard the Hatsuyuki last night we had a few note worthy encounters.
The first of these was a Crayter Small ship who thought he could stop the Hatsuyuki from continuing it's deliveries of Cardamine into Bretonia. He was warned that this was merely a transitory path, yet insisted on attempting to stop the Hatsuyuki. He failed and was forced to withdraw. See Black box 1 for the encounter.
Later I flew for a few trips with a regular Golden Chrysanthemum member known as Golden.Bloom. She was quite polite though she seemed worried about our recent actions against both the KNF and Crayter though I reassured her that we always took all precautions to ensure safe recovery of our sisters even should the worst come to past in a fight. See blackbox 2 for the recording.

[28.11.2020 05:00:46] Radicals: Halt GC
[28.11.2020 05:00:58] Radicals: You have contraband in your cargo
[28.11.2020 05:01:13] GC-Hatsuyuki: It is not destined for crayter
[28.11.2020 05:01:27] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: We are just passing through
[28.11.2020 05:01:33] Radicals: We don't want you to do this
[28.11.2020 05:01:45] Radicals: you are in our domain
[28.11.2020 05:01:54] Radicals: we don't want you to smuggle throough
[28.11.2020 05:02:01] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: If there was another safe route we'd use it
[28.11.2020 05:02:01] Radicals: halt now or i open fire
[28.11.2020 05:02:16] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Are you sure you want to try this?
[28.11.2020 05:02:23] Radicals: alright, you want to do it the hard way i see
[28.11.2020 05:02:41] Radicals: prepare to open fire
[28.11.2020 05:02:52] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Don't make a mistake
[28.11.2020 05:03:13] Radicals: mistake will be yours
[28.11.2020 05:03:21] Radicals: Open fire!
[28.11.2020 05:03:23] GC-Hatsuyuki: Prepare for Combat Sisters, hostile Baka on approch
[28.11.2020 05:03:24] GC-Hatsuyuki: Hakai
[28.11.2020 05:08:55] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Know your fights
[28.11.2020 05:09:23] Radicals: Enemy is too strong
[28.11.2020 05:09:28] Radicals: I'm retreating
[28.11.2020 05:09:38] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: You are no threat to the Hatsuyuki
[28.11.2020 06:40:18] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Konbanwa.
[28.11.2020 06:40:21] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Konbanwa Golden.Bloom|Aoi
[28.11.2020 06:40:38] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Safe travels today I hope?
[28.11.2020 06:40:49] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: So far so good
[28.11.2020 06:41:02] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: How about you?
[28.11.2020 06:41:05] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Good. Need some company? Stargazing gets lonely.
[28.11.2020 06:41:24] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Sure,
[28.11.2020 06:41:49] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: the route can be repetitive though, take note
[28.11.2020 06:42:04] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: That's fine. Having company makes things morre lively.
[28.11.2020 06:42:21] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Indeed
[28.11.2020 06:43:34] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: How have you been lately, sister? I've heard some have been attacked in the Taus.
[28.11.2020 06:43:44] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: If only this system weren't so Blinding..
[28.11.2020 06:43:47] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: ah yes
[28.11.2020 06:44:18] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: My Sister Tomoyo as been called upon to remind KNF that Taus are not Kusari
[28.11.2020 06:44:38] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: I've thankfully had my trade route be peaceful
[28.11.2020 06:45:03] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Hopefully Kusari learns soon.
[28.11.2020 06:45:10] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: And Crayter
[28.11.2020 06:45:34] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Crayter is more stubborn. Rumors around say they're in Liberty's pocket, which means endless funding.
[28.11.2020 06:46:13] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Well this one overzelous fellow thought he could enforce the "Laws of Crayter" in Tau-31
[28.11.2020 06:46:23] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: With a Nyx
[28.11.2020 06:46:48] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: They try. Not too successfully all the while. Still, a small vessel does not mean it's not dangerous.
[28.11.2020 06:46:56] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: ....he ran with his tail between his legs when he attempted to "Arrest" the Hatsuyuki
[28.11.2020 06:47:04] 2020-11-28 06:47:04 SMT Traffic control alert: GC-Hatsuyuki has requested to dock
[28.11.2020 06:47:34] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Most tend to flee when they realize the situation is not in their favor.
[28.11.2020 06:47:40] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: I'll give him credit, He tried
[28.11.2020 06:48:02] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: A mere fighter is no threat to the Hatsuyuki
[28.11.2020 06:48:09] 2020-11-28 06:48:09 SMT Traffic control alert: GC-Hatsuyuki has requested to dock
[28.11.2020 06:48:21] You have entered the event: Orange Hammer
[28.11.2020 06:48:48] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: and so the Cardimine River continues to flow
[28.11.2020 06:49:00] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Hai. Just like always.
[28.11.2020 06:50:47] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: On the Bright side, the Junkers of Trafalgar pay a fortune for this
[28.11.2020 06:51:22] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Junkers can be good friends when it comes to moving such things.
[28.11.2020 06:51:56] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Their installations prove to be convenient Storage facilities
[28.11.2020 06:52:30] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Hai. A shame their base in Liberty as struck.
[28.11.2020 06:52:43] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: I used to purchase weapons from there.
[28.11.2020 06:52:51] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: It has been restored to a functioning state
[28.11.2020 06:53:06] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Has it? Guess it's been some time since I visited.
[28.11.2020 06:53:27] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: We've begun making deliveries to Rochester again, though it's been on hold with this opportunity
[28.11.2020 06:54:17] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: I see. Be careful though. Liberty doesn't take kindly to outside smugglers. A pain they are.
[28.11.2020 06:54:50] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: If you ever need extra protection, I would be glad to help protect my sissters
[28.11.2020 06:55:08] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Would you like to follow as escort?
[28.11.2020 06:55:38] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Hai. Liberty suffered little in the last great war. They have many veterans who are a danger.
[28.11.2020 06:55:58] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: This load is en route to
[28.11.2020 06:56:40] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: This load is enroute to Bretonnia
[28.11.2020 06:57:16] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: It's been a long time since I visited Bretonia. Perhaps some tea would do well.
[28.11.2020 06:58:09] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: You're welcome to get some while we make our delivery
[28.11.2020 06:59:19] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: I'll see if the Junkers have some while you deliver.
[28.11.2020 06:59:24] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: there are not many systems that allow peaceful travel
[28.11.2020 06:59:40] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: I quite apreciate this of traveling in Bretonia
[28.11.2020 07:00:00] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Bretonia is one of the few ssympathetic to us.
[28.11.2020 07:00:05] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: It's nice.
[28.11.2020 07:00:52] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Fear repurcussions should they learn the extent of Gen'an aid in bringing in Cardimine to Bretonia
[28.11.2020 07:01:20] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: I fear not only external trroubles would come from such a thing.
[28.11.2020 07:01:49] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Our less radical sisters may desire retribution for such a thing.
[28.11.2020 07:01:59] Tip: Exploration can be very rewarding. The game world has hidden bases and wrecks that do not show up on your map. Find them and the loot is yours to claim.
[28.11.2020 07:02:01] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: No matter what, the Outcasts remain reliable in their support
[28.11.2020 07:02:25] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: well the less radical sisters have failed to acheive anything
[28.11.2020 07:02:51] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Eh. Perhaps.
[28.11.2020 07:03:08] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Rumors claim they've infiltrated the Kusari government during the Republics age.
[28.11.2020 07:03:22] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Though I haven't seen anything come of such rumors.
[28.11.2020 07:03:32] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: they certainly have not secured improved equippement performance
[28.11.2020 07:04:17] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: From speaking with them, they are aiming to achieve their goals not by open conflict, but by subvsersion.
[28.11.2020 07:04:27] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Time will tell who'ss methods are more effective.
[28.11.2020 07:04:37] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: The Gen'an Sisterhood has managed to work out the issues that were plaguing us b with the use of Outcast=
[28.11.2020 07:04:52] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: -Equippement
[28.11.2020 07:05:33] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Oh we've merely Maneuvered to enable Open conflict with Kusari Forces
[28.11.2020 07:05:59] 2020-11-28 07:05:59 SMT
[28.11.2020 07:05:59] Death: Ataman_Tamigin was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[28.11.2020 07:06:00] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: They fear the Gen'an Sisterhood
[28.11.2020 07:06:02] 2020-11-28 07:06:02 SMT Traffic control alert: GC-Hatsuyuki has requested to dock
[28.11.2020 07:06:38] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: No tea.. but one kindly offered me a bottle of gin as compensation.
[28.11.2020 07:07:16] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: They fear the Gen'an sisterhood sufficiently to be constantly deploying Battleships against us
[28.11.2020 07:07:24] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Still though. Scaring Navaal Forces reservists is one thing.
[28.11.2020 07:07:31] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: When the spearhead of the Gallic war returns..
[28.11.2020 07:07:59] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: I've heard the Kusari forces were on the verge of colapse
[28.11.2020 07:08:17] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: News articles are split from what I find on Hacker bases.
[28.11.2020 07:08:26] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: One front collapsed, the other successful.
[28.11.2020 07:09:14] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Based on the fact we face units turning back from Gallia in Tau 23
[28.11.2020 07:10:18] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: We question why these units would be back in Tau 23 if the front is so successful
[28.11.2020 07:10:38] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Or if they aren't securing a withdrawl corridor
[28.11.2020 07:10:41] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: It's really a matter of which front of theirs collapsed. Kusari claimed to have annihilated Gallic ship building in Dauphine.
[28.11.2020 07:11:44] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: With the Size of Gallia as a whole I highly doubt that move is as crippling as the loss of Southhampton was for-
[28.11.2020 07:11:46] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Though I haven't been inclined to check where the Kusari fleet is right now. Perhaps it would serve us well to know more.
[28.11.2020 07:11:53] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: -Bretonia
[28.11.2020 07:12:47] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: I simply fear a catastrophy may come. We don't need out friends leaving Crayterian space after bloodying them only to find
[28.11.2020 07:12:54] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: The bulk of the Kusarian fleet.
[28.11.2020 07:13:21] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: The Outcast will find a way to escape with their fleet intact no matter whjat
[28.11.2020 07:13:29] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: they always do
[28.11.2020 07:14:02] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: We shall see. Rumors speculate the Outcast offensive in the Sigmas was foiled.
[28.11.2020 07:14:37] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Considering it was a 3 way free for all they're happy to have anything go their way
[28.11.2020 07:15:49] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: The Taus are far from secure. Crayter, the IMG, potential Gallic and Kusari militaries.
[28.11.2020 07:16:19] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Early warning to protect our friends would never hurt.
[28.11.2020 07:16:39] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Thus why the Gen'an keep a presence out here
[28.11.2020 07:19:04] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: I think this trip will be it for the Hatsuyuki for now, Her engines need some maintenance and we require rest as well
[28.11.2020 07:19:24] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: We'll call it a day once we reach Valletta Shipyard
[28.11.2020 07:19:43] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Alrighty. I'll follow to ensure a ssafe final leg.
[28.11.2020 07:20:30] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: I apologize if I seem.. sspeculative. I simply worry for the safety of my sisters is all.
[28.11.2020 07:20:52] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Completely understandable
[28.11.2020 07:21:09] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: We always take all precautions nessessary
[28.11.2020 07:21:22] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: As much as we are cappable of
[28.11.2020 07:21:25] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: That's good to hear.
[28.11.2020 07:22:07] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: If we are convinced of high likelihood of success then we push forwards
[28.11.2020 07:22:15] Tip: The ''Laws of Sirius'', are a collection of in-roleplay laws for each house. They mention things such as contraband, punishments and fines and are enforceable by lawful IDed ships.
[28.11.2020 07:23:19] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: And here we are, safe harbor.
[28.11.2020 07:23:31] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Indeed
[28.11.2020 07:23:37] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: I hope you rest well, sister.
[28.11.2020 07:24:05] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: I wish you farewell, and safe returns to you home
[28.11.2020 07:24:10] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: I'll be around the Taus, monitoring things.
[28.11.2020 07:24:21] Golden.Bloom|Aoi: Arigato. Be well, sister.
[28.11.2020 07:24:37] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Noted, Ill let other sisters know you will be around
[28.11.2020 07:24:40] GC-Hatsuyuki: S: Arigato
