I bring good news from the results of my last stroll around Kusari. Together with a Gen'an Chrysanthenum (GC-Yuki Onna) I flew a patrol around Kyushu, when we ended up encountering a Naval Forces pilot ([KNF] Seiho Isayama). I protected the Gen'an sister from him and we ended up dueling. Emerging victorious I neutralized his vessel. He fought well, never underestimate the enemy it was a honourable duel.
Later on we continued the stroll to New Toyko where I met fellow Dragon (>BD<Kano Kamiyama) forming up with her. As we went on patrolling we teamed up with more coming Gen'an vessels and found several hostile vessels, an Bounty Hunter Gunboat helping out traitorous Samura lapdogs, an Police Fighter and Naval Forces destroyer captain. When they left him behind for whichever reason we saw the chance and took it neutralizing the gunboat, when they returned it was already too late for him, we hope the Hunters will learn from this. As they returned again after leaving him behind we engaged them aswell and emerged victorious, another victory to bring down the traitors! There was also an Corsair Battlecruiser closing by, together we also took care and neutralized it. This day brought many victories for our cause.
The patrol report of my recent stroll I will forward to you now. Together with a Gen'an Chrysanthenum (GC-Yunoki Misaki) I flew a patrol around Kyushu, for the most part the patrol went uneventful with nothing much to report, but then we found a Freelancer piloting a "Serenity" transport. As we inquired what they do in Kusari we received the good news that this pilot called "Cmdr.Stormpilot" is interested in helping the Blood Dragons and hauled military vehicles to our military hideout on Planet Tomioka. We escorted them to Tottori with encountering no resistance. Another Gen'an cell vessel helped with bringing down the vehicles to the base we can thank the GC for their help with this.
The Freelancer seemed very open minded and friendly to our cause asking about our history and plans what we do and how the Dragons came to be, I explained the person our history, we had a great chat. Always appreciating and helping these to support to bring down the traitors of Samura.
Later I ended up patrolling around on my own extending the patrol to Tau-29 where I found a Naval Forces pilot ([KNF] Ji-yeon Hwang) talking with a Unione Corse pilot. I couldn't make out the exact details of the chat but mayhaps the Corsicans operate in a way with the KNF? The corsican fled the moment I arrived and a duel unfolded shortly after against the KNF vessel, I emerged victorious decapitating their fighter vessel.

Yoi tsuitachi brothers and sisters.
This combat report is of the joint operation between Gen'an and Outcasts of 5 3 828 A.S. for the siege of Hoshizora Travel Company.
During this operation we gathered our forces at a hidden spot of the Seiran Dust Cloud making sure all weaponry was available.
Several of our own were involved to note the ships specifically.
Battleship Okayama
Battleship Tsukuyomi
Battleship Watatsumi
As well as other Dragons bretheren.
Battleship Iki
Cruiser Ikkyu
For this operation I saw it justified that I take the Watatsumi under my guidence as it's Kaigun shōsa whilst it remained in command of Kaigun chūsa Otsuka.
Together me and Otsuka worked with the crew to keep the vessel at it's highest capacity and after the siege it has now been moored at Mito Shipyard for repairs and maintenence.
Now onto the operation itself.
Once our preperations of the joint fleet were done we moved into position near the Hoshizora which had a defense of two weapon platforms.
The Watatsumi took a position on one of the weapon platforms keeping it's fire busy with the strong side plating of the battleship.
The other platform was busied by one of the Gen'an gunboats aptly if not comically christened Hoshizora.
This allowed the rest of the fleet to begin their bombardment of the station.
Throughout the operation it had remained steady with minor if not no resistance besides for one occasion. IKN-Katsuragi had made itself aware from a burst communication signal.
It had appeared that the Kusari Navy had intended to take on the fleet although I do not believe they quite knew what was hidden in the dust cloud.
The entire fleet including the Dragons had moved out of the cloud to confront them. It were only two ships a battleship and the cruiser IKN-Obama.
The battleship IKN-Katsuragi had immiedietly turned around and ran but a fleet member of the Gen'an Takeda had the cruiser IKN-Obama drives distrupted. Which allowed the fleet to move in and take it out swiftly.
The fleet there after moved back into the same position it had on Hoshizora Station and the bombardment proceeded once more.
After a small time a fighter vessel, identified as Hiro.Shimazuki had come to the siege. It's IFF had been revealed to be of naval origin.
This particular fighter was no threat it merely tried to distract us over communication channels the rest of the fleet kept on it's mission to destroy the station.
Once the station had been disolved into nothing more than scrap the fleet had split apart in various forms. The Watatsumi as prior mentioned is currently moored on Mito undergoing minor repairs for now and will most likely remain in the Chugoku system until further orders have been given.
I myself will depart from Mito at a later date and proceed to pilot my regular craft.
Combat logs and visual recording of these events will be attached in this transmission.

[04.05.2021 05:34:23] Hiro.Shimazuki: So many criminals..
[04.05.2021 05:34:28] GC-Ise.Jingu: Yume: Just another fly
[04.05.2021 05:34:29] Hiro.Shimazuki: If only I were a god.
[04.05.2021 05:34:30] >BD<Watatsumi: Zoi: Oh look a fly
[04.05.2021 05:34:33] GC-Hoshizora: H: want me to take it out sister?

[04.05.2021 05:34:54] GC-Hoshizora: H: run little fly
[04.05.2021 05:34:58] MNS-Belicista: haha, one navy, what a funny guy
[04.05.2021 05:35:13] HS>Reconquista: My gunnery officer is getting twitchy
[04.05.2021 05:35:21] Hiro.Shimazuki: One can spawn a horde, little Maltesian.
[04.05.2021 05:35:41] HS>Reconquista: Little? I have turrets heavier than your entire ship.
[04.05.2021 05:35:52] Hiro.Shimazuki: Clearly compensating for something.
[04.05.2021 05:36:01] BD-Iki: Capt.Kenichi:someone should swatt this little fly
[04.05.2021 05:36:08] MNS-Belicista: your insults will get you killed
[04.05.2021 05:36:08] Hiro.Shimazuki: You're welcome to try, traitor.
[04.05.2021 05:37:42] Hiro.Shimazuki: Must be the nebula, huh?
[04.05.2021 05:38:32] Hiro.Shimazuki: Must be.
[04.05.2021 05:39:28] Hiro.Shimazuki: Maybe it isn't the nebula
[04.05.2021 05:39:35] >BD<Okayama: This person must have a death wise.
[04.05.2021 05:40:03] Hiro.Shimazuki: Maybe it's just my incredible evasion skills.
[04.05.2021 05:40:49] MNS-Tevere: We are good
[04.05.2021 05:43:19] Hiro.Shimazuki: Well, there's a window open.
[04.05.2021 05:43:23] Hiro.Shimazuki: Maybe I should take it.
[04.05.2021 05:44:01] >BD<Watatsumi: Zoi: all crew, spin up drives, fire at your oppertunity.
[04.05.2021 05:44:29] Hiro.Shimazuki: Is this what brings you people out of your holes after all these years?
[04.05.2021 05:44:47] Hiro.Shimazuki: We survive a war, wage one on our own terms, and only now you peop-
[04.05.2021 05:44:49] Hiro.Shimazuki: Oh my.
[04.05.2021 05:44:53] GC-Ise.Jingu: Rin: It certainly worked for you
[04.05.2021 05:45:58] Hiro.Shimazuki: By the Tenno.
[04.05.2021 05:46:10] Hiro.Shimazuki: It's back.
[04.05.2021 05:47:30] MNS-Tevere: We have slowed down a bit
[04.05.2021 05:48:29] Hiro.Shimazuki: I am curious. I know the Dragons fawn over your kind like mold to rotten food, but why bring your diseased masters to do your-
[04.05.2021 05:48:31] Hiro.Shimazuki: -dirty work?
[04.05.2021 05:48:56] >BD<Watatsumi: Zoi: Sorry what was that? I couldn't hear you over the sound of this stations metal crunching.
[04.05.2021 05:49:15] Hiro.Shimazuki: I wasn't asking you, traitor. I was asking your masters.
[04.05.2021 05:49:18] GC-Hoshizora: H: man is that fly still buzzing around?
[04.05.2021 05:49:26] Hiro.Shimazuki: Buzz buzz.
[04.05.2021 05:49:29] MNS-Belicista: this has nothing to do with anyone's dirty work, this is about stopping the interruption of trade.
[04.05.2021 05:49:30] Ikkyu: Can I shoot this traitor?
[04.05.2021 05:49:35] Ikkyu: Do you want to be shot?
[04.05.2021 05:49:44] GC-Ise.Jingu: Yume: Go ahead
[04.05.2021 05:49:47] Hiro.Shimazuki: I'm waiting for one of you idiots to try.
[04.05.2021 05:49:55] Hiro.Shimazuki: Meanwhile, I still have an unanswered question.
[04.05.2021 05:49:56] Ikkyu: Ok... Get those people off the forward gun. This one has a deathwish.
[04.05.2021 05:50:15] MNS-Tevere: ?:You are not in the position to ask questions.
[04.05.2021 05:50:20] HS>Reconquista: Left my flyswatter on Malta
[04.05.2021 05:51:05] Hiro.Shimazuki: Renowned fighter pilots, but less than average capital ship gunmen.
[04.05.2021 05:52:43] Hiro.Shimazuki: Enjoying your time, Captain?
[04.05.2021 05:53:40] Hiro.Shimazuki: Swapped to the anti-capitals, hm?
[04.05.2021 05:54:53] Hiro.Shimazuki: Still haven't answered my question, Chrysanthemum.
[04.05.2021 05:55:22] GC-Ise.Jingu: Yume: What makes you think you are worthy of an answer from me naval pig?
[04.05.2021 05:55:49] Hiro.Shimazuki: If you want equal footing, answer me on equal footing.
[04.05.2021 05:56:24] Hiro.Shimazuki: Otherwise, I can address you as one addresses their dog if you'd like.
[04.05.2021 05:56:31] MNS-Belicista: equality, not your best argument.
[04.05.2021 05:57:54] Hiro.Shimazuki: Their claims, not mine. If she doesn't want to answer to her own countrymen, then I'll just assume she's answering to the dogs-
[04.05.2021 05:57:55] Hiro.Shimazuki: -up north.
[04.05.2021 05:58:12] Hiro.Shimazuki: Which is what I'm guessing is going on here anyway.
[04.05.2021 05:58:18] >BD<Tsukuyomi: The annoying fly sqeaks so loudly.
[04.05.2021 05:58:25] >BD<Watatsumi: Zoi: Listen you ribboned squirrel were busy, either drop off the radar or just sit and watch.
[04.05.2021 05:58:30] Hiro.Shimazuki: I have to get through that thick skull somehow.
[04.05.2021 05:58:47] GC-Ise.Jingu: Yume: Answer me gentlemen. Am I anyone's slave here?
[04.05.2021 05:59:04] HS>Reconquista: Nah, the slaves are working the fields.
[04.05.2021 05:59:05] >BD<Tsukuyomi: There is no skull thicker than the one dull enough to approach a fleet of enemies.
[04.05.2021 05:59:10] Hiro.Shimazuki: Only you can answer that, girl.
[04.05.2021 06:00:19] Hiro.Shimazuki: It's called 'courage', traitor. I wouldn't expect you to understand sitting at the helm of a warship.
[04.05.2021 06:00:37] >BD<Tsukuyomi: Yes, because a siege is performed on a mere fighter.
[04.05.2021 06:00:45] >BD<Tsukuyomi: Very wise, dog.
[04.05.2021 06:01:06] Hiro.Shimazuki: I mean, you clearly have the Maltesian dogs here doing the heavy lifting.
[04.05.2021 06:01:14] Hiro.Shimazuki: I don't see why this should be worth any of your time.
[04.05.2021 06:01:28] Hiro.Shimazuki: Terrorizing citizens is sure to get the Shogun back in power, eh? [04.05.2021 06:01:38] Base Hoshizora_Travel_Company destroyed
[04.05.2021 06:01:46] >BD<Tsukuyomi: Citizens? I believe you may be mistaken.
[04.05.2021 06:01:47] Hiro.Shimazuki: A shame.
[04.05.2021 06:01:50] >BD<Watatsumi: Zoi: Well done ladies and gentlemen
[04.05.2021 06:01:50] MNS-Tevere: finally
I bring tidings of some "unexpected" expedition. As I escorted our Shogun sensei (>BD< Ubukata Tsuya) through the Tau Border Worlds we witnessed an anomaly at the old Jump Gate leading to the Gallic sector in Tau-23. The gate itself was in a dire state and emitted high energy signatures and radiation levels around it. Anomalies formed around it and lightnings sparked and trembled, the area seemed highly volatile and unpredictable. To our surprise we saw one larger anomaly inside the gate, it was a huge risk but our brave Shogun took it as we figured out it could work like a jumphole.
The anomaly indeed worked like a jumphole, thankfully the gods smiled down to us and the situation went well, indeed on the other side we found us in yet unknown space.
A burgundian red starsphere covered the system with many celestial objects roaming about, we held our breath and were left in awe, the locals told us that indeed we ended up in "Languedoc". The southern frontier of the Gallic Sector.
Then after a while fellow dragon (>BD< Kano Kamiyama) also arrived us when we had a talk with a for us familiar encounter the Freelancer Evelyn Taylor and again the same corsican we met once in the Shikoku system were there. They came in peace and we had good chatterings, they have shown us around that we could gather informations about Gallias's current state, even a pilot of the Maquis came by and talked with us for a brief moment. We got shown the former battlegrounds of Languedoc where the Kusarian Empire fought over their squarrels with the new Gallic Confederacy over the Tau Border Worlds. The piles of rubble, to see so many lost souls, numerous amounts of shipwrecks from former larger battlefields and huge fields of scrap and wrecks were all scattered around with even one Tokugawa-class creashing into an old gallic station.
Let this be a prime example of the mistakes the traitors of Samura do, all the wasted ressources, the lost souls... in vain. This is all I can report I will attach the Blackbox Recordings and Visual Data Down below. Nearby we ended up also seemed to be an jumping anomaly back to the Tau's, this connection could be useful for our future ambitions. This is all for now.
[14.05.2021 01:18:18] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: This system has gone places over the years with that one war.
[14.05.2021 01:18:44] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: If the IMG still does its mining operations peacefully here?
[14.05.2021 01:19:35] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Seems the IMG still does have a presence here.
[14.05.2021 01:20:12] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Even the gates inactive.
[14.05.2021 01:20:28] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Seems Gallia has withdrawn from the system at last.
[14.05.2021 01:20:31] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: That this was once Gallia's main supply line.
[14.05.2021 01:21:27] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: The lack of their presence here gives me some hope. Means they really have weakened
[14.05.2021 01:21:49] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: So also did Kusari...
[14.05.2021 01:21:58] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: If that war really brought them anything.
[14.05.2021 01:22:19] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Opportunites arise from the ashes of war.
[14.05.2021 01:22:41] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Seems tons of salvage floats around here.
[14.05.2021 01:22:57] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Wouldn't be surprised if people would gather trying something.
[14.05.2021 01:23:01] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: All the more useful for the IMG.
[14.05.2021 01:23:16] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Metal can always be broken down and reused for something, so long as enough of it exists.
[14.05.2021 01:23:51] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Even the rustiest chain can become a shining Katana with patience and craftmanship.
[14.05.2021 01:24:04] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: i watched the video...
[14.05.2021 01:24:15] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Wait.
[14.05.2021 01:24:20] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Don't get too close. That gate is damaged.
[14.05.2021 01:24:32] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Anomaly readings indicate energy signatures...
[14.05.2021 01:24:40] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Hai. Better take distance.
[14.05.2021 01:24:42] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Hm...
[14.05.2021 01:24:52] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Something caught your eye?
[14.05.2021 01:24:58] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Can it be?
[14.05.2021 01:25:10] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: The Gate seems unstable but energy levels arise from there
[14.05.2021 01:25:18] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: it gives same readings like jump holes.
[14.05.2021 01:25:48] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Well, gates are constructed from holes.
[14.05.2021 01:26:05] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: It seems whatever forces in this area didn't have the chance to seal this gate.
[14.05.2021 01:26:08] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Hm...
[14.05.2021 01:26:10] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: wait wat
[14.05.2021 01:26:14] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: And so it remains damaged and inoperable.
[14.05.2021 01:27:29] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Be careful sensei.
[14.05.2021 01:27:32] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Well, that's curious.
[14.05.2021 01:27:54] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: This should lead to Gallia... if it really... works?
[14.05.2021 01:27:58] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Nani...
[14.05.2021 01:28:26] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Worth the risk?
[14.05.2021 01:28:35] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Uncertain.
[14.05.2021 01:29:00] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: You surely are a brave one sensei.
[14.05.2021 01:29:00] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Woah.
[14.05.2021 01:29:06] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: But... yes... it works
[14.05.2021 01:29:11] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Where even...
[14.05.2021 01:29:19] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: This is I think.
[14.05.2021 01:29:23] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Gallia.
[14.05.2021 01:29:52] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Let's gather some intelligence while we're here, I suppose.
[14.05.2021 01:30:03] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Could do.
[14.05.2021 01:30:14] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: I heard remnants of the war can be seen from here.
[14.05.2021 01:30:27] E.Taylor: Anyway while we are on the way why don't you hold up your end and tell me about the locals?
[14.05.2021 01:30:28] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: A huge field of piled warships from both participants, hai.
[14.05.2021 01:30:32] E.Taylor: What the hell?
[14.05.2021 01:30:49] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Konbanwa. You have some tourists~!
[14.05.2021 01:30:53] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Konbanwa Freelancer.
[14.05.2021 01:31:03] E.Taylor: Odd seeing you here.
[14.05.2021 01:31:12] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: We are the same surprised as yours.
[14.05.2021 01:31:33] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Looks like a Corse is nearby as well.
[14.05.2021 01:31:45] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Konbanwa corsican.
[14.05.2021 01:31:50] E.Taylor: A Corse you are already familiar with.
[14.05.2021 01:31:55] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Hai.
[14.05.2021 01:31:57] E.Taylor: Or atleast Miyazaki is.
[14.05.2021 01:32:00] UC~Emily'Anderson: Oh..
[14.05.2021 01:32:04] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: // srry was REing
[14.05.2021 01:32:09] UC~Emily'Anderson: Well isn't this a change of situations?
[14.05.2021 01:32:13] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: I'm amazed what's left of that jump gate still works.
[14.05.2021 01:32:15] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Ah now I remember it fully, you were along with the corsican.
[14.05.2021 01:32:31] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Indeed, interesting anomaly that gate wreck.
[14.05.2021 01:32:32] UC~Emily'Anderson: The wonders of Gallia
[14.05.2021 01:32:57] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: In any case, we got pulled in and it lead us here.
[14.05.2021 01:33:14] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Judging by a Corsican being here, seems this is indeed Gaul space.
[14.05.2021 01:33:18] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: We can be lucky sensei that we didnt got shredded *sigh*
[14.05.2021 01:33:27] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Indeed.
[14.05.2021 01:33:29] E.Taylor: Welcome to Languedoc I guess....
[14.05.2021 01:33:44] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Figured we'd get some tourism in~.
[14.05.2021 01:33:49] UC~Emily'Anderson: Well, glad you made it through in one piece

[14.05.2021 01:34:16] UC~Emily'Anderson: Aha.. I see what you did there...
[14.05.2021 01:34:20] UC~Emily'Anderson: I'm a fan.
[14.05.2021 01:34:27] E.Taylor: Guess this is another situation where my memory sees to go.
[14.05.2021 01:34:32] E.Taylor: Seems*
[14.05.2021 01:34:55] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Ah Shogun sensei. It seems this corsican was interested in the history of the Dragons.
[14.05.2021 01:35:00] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: They seem open minded, hai.
[14.05.2021 01:35:15] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Had some talks in Shikoku several moons ago.
[14.05.2021 01:35:19] Tip: The world of Freelancer is full of ambiguity just like real life is. Not all characters showing up as hostile are your enemies. Likewise - not all characters showing up as neutral are your friends.
[14.05.2021 01:35:31] UC~Emily'Anderson: See, we've all met before!
[14.05.2021 01:35:33] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: A likely interest.
[14.05.2021 01:35:53] UC~Emily'Anderson: Likely interest? I hope that doesn't involve anything malicious?
[14.05.2021 01:36:04] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: I'd be willing to talk to you all day about our history, but that would take forever.
[14.05.2021 01:36:09] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: No worries.
[14.05.2021 01:36:18] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: I gave them the brief important details.
[14.05.2021 01:36:29] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Instead, I'd like to ask about the current state of Gallia.
[14.05.2021 01:36:39] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: We Dragons treat everyone with respect who does the same in return.
[14.05.2021 01:36:50] UC~Emily'Anderson: Depends which system your in...
[14.05.2021 01:37:07] UC~Emily'Anderson: General idea is that some people are pissed.. some people are happy the fighting is finally over..
[14.05.2021 01:37:16] UC~Emily'Anderson: Can't please everyone after all..
[14.05.2021 01:37:22] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Along the way we'd noticed their Navy has completely withdrawn from Tau-23.
[14.05.2021 01:37:33] E.Taylor: Every Navy has.
[14.05.2021 01:37:54] E.Taylor: Things are back to what they were pre-Gallic war.
[14.05.2021 01:37:55] UC~Emily'Anderson: It's a rare sight to see Navy patrols in the Taus..
[14.05.2021 01:38:01] UC~Emily'Anderson: Hense why we operate there now.
[14.05.2021 01:38:19] UC~Emily'Anderson: Keeping those Outcasts from even touching our borders...
[14.05.2021 01:38:43] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Hm, the maltese... ah yes you have your rivalry with them on the black market.
[14.05.2021 01:38:54] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: We've spotted the presence of some Gauls within Kusari that claim to be "Royalists".
[14.05.2021 01:39:03] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: They've been an annoyance, to say the least.
[14.05.2021 01:39:18] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: And seem very trigger happy.
[14.05.2021 01:39:25] UC~Emily'Anderson: Ah.. Royalists... that's a entirely different ball game.
[14.05.2021 01:39:39] E.Taylor: Oh right I think I was around for that.
[14.05.2021 01:39:49] E.Taylor: Kyushu right?
[14.05.2021 01:39:54] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Correct.

[14.05.2021 01:40:41] E.Taylor: Couldn't make out much due to the clouds though.
[14.05.2021 01:40:48] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: They spoken out their intents with a tongue full of hatred.
[14.05.2021 01:41:02] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: They seem to act like nothing ever changed.
[14.05.2021 01:41:11] UC~Emily'Anderson: Oui, the best course of action is to shoot them before they shoot you..
[14.05.2021 01:41:16] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Attacking kusarians recklessly... spoken out their genocidial dreams.
[14.05.2021 01:41:21] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: It is... *yikes*
[14.05.2021 01:41:48] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: I had heard about the disaster of Leeds, but I figured it was unthinkable for someone to continue on that course of action.
[14.05.2021 01:41:59] UC~Emily'Anderson: Heh.. these Freelancers with you Dragons?
[14.05.2021 01:42:10] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: No idea who they are.
[14.05.2021 01:42:12] UC~Emily'Anderson: They're maniacs to say the least...
[14.05.2021 01:42:17] E.Taylor: Uh?
[14.05.2021 01:42:20] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Which ones? Those in the distance? No idea who these are.
[14.05.2021 01:42:20] UC~Emily'Anderson: The Royalists..
[14.05.2021 01:42:33] E.Taylor: I ain't seeing any other Independents here other than me...
[14.05.2021 01:42:43] UC~Emily'Anderson: Must be these astroids...
[14.05.2021 01:42:58] E.Taylor: I really need to upgrade some of this gear.
[14.05.2021 01:43:00] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: These asteroids are fairly large. Could make for prime base construction...
[14.05.2021 01:43:05] E.Taylor: Yeah got em on scanners now.
[14.05.2021 01:43:33] UC~Emily'Anderson: Silence from em...
[14.05.2021 01:43:37] UC~Emily'Anderson: Oh well..
[14.05.2021 01:43:43] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Seem to be too busy with themselfes?
[14.05.2021 01:43:46] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Guess they aren't very interested in a chat.
[14.05.2021 01:43:56] E.Taylor: Guess not.
[14.05.2021 01:43:57] UC~Emily'Anderson: Busy bodies I guess.
[14.05.2021 01:44:10] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Ah, konbanwa, Kano-san.
[14.05.2021 01:44:14] E.Taylor: Ah it's the other Dragon from our chat in Shikoku.
[14.05.2021 01:44:16] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Ah, konbanwa Kano-san glad to see you around.

[14.05.2021 01:46:14] UC~Emily'Anderson: Pretty much...
[14.05.2021 01:46:17] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: wat
[14.05.2021 01:46:17] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: cause i forgot as usual
[14.05.2021 01:46:39] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: I took now 2
[14.05.2021 01:46:40] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: uhh
[14.05.2021 01:46:45] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: didnt took any before oof
[14.05.2021 01:46:49] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: well, gotta have somethin to report? lol, even if there's no fight
[14.05.2021 01:46:51] UC~Emily'Anderson: Though, the main passage way is through Orkney...
[14.05.2021 01:47:05] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: ill type yesterday's MD tonite maybe or tomorrow
[14.05.2021 01:47:07] UC~Emily'Anderson: Which you've basically skipped through the Hole..
[14.05.2021 01:47:27] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: we can visit the wreck field of the war
[14.05.2021 01:47:33] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: huge pile of kusari warships
[14.05.2021 01:47:33] E.Taylor: Also skipped Thirty-One that way.
[14.05.2021 01:47:38] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Seems it's a new blind spot for the lawfuls.
[14.05.2021 01:48:11] E.Taylor: No idea if it's all that blind since it links to one of their old jumpgates.
[14.05.2021 01:48:18] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Well Shogun sama. I heard this system has the many lost warships of Kusari, a large old battlefield.
[14.05.2021 01:48:20] UC~Emily'Anderson: I wouldn't say that...
[14.05.2021 01:48:27] UC~Emily'Anderson: Oui it has...
[14.05.2021 01:48:28] E.Taylor: Not exactly old.
[14.05.2021 01:48:35] UC~Emily'Anderson: They fill the space-scape.
[14.05.2021 01:48:39] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: As an inquiry... curiosity tempers me to see these myselfes.
[14.05.2021 01:48:42] E.Taylor: Lot of the wrecks seem new enough.
[14.05.2021 01:48:52] UC~Emily'Anderson: Depends...
[14.05.2021 01:48:58] UC~Emily'Anderson: What are your intentions here?
[14.05.2021 01:49:05] E.Taylor: Or at least wrecked recently enough.
[14.05.2021 01:49:26] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Merely to watch, and learn. We have no quarrel with you or the freelancer beside you.
[14.05.2021 01:49:40] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Knowledge is a powerful tool for all.
[14.05.2021 01:49:43] UC~Emily'Anderson: Uh-heh...
[14.05.2021 01:50:01] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: And besides, maybe we'll get to know each other along the way.
[14.05.2021 01:50:05] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Reconaissance can be half the battle indeed wise words.
[14.05.2021 01:50:24] UC~Emily'Anderson: Well I recommend visiting Planet Aude, a field is littered with ships..
[14.05.2021 01:50:53] UC~Emily'Anderson: It's the white planet over there.
[14.05.2021 01:51:05] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: inb4 rping to salvage one old warship...
[14.05.2021 01:51:08] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: I see. Not too far.
[14.05.2021 01:51:43] UC~Emily'Anderson: Though, I would advise to tred lightly. I've heard of engagements between the Dragons and the Navy in Lorraine...
[14.05.2021 01:51:54] [FLG]Golden.Blade: Bonjour!
[14.05.2021 01:52:13] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Hm, more people for this surprising gathering.
[14.05.2021 01:52:14] E.Taylor: Now this is Interesting.
[14.05.2021 01:52:15] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Konbanwa.
[14.05.2021 01:52:30] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Lorraine is a point of interest for us, yes.
[14.05.2021 01:52:36] E.Taylor: And one I have a contract for as well.
[14.05.2021 01:52:41] [FLG]Golden.Blade: Boucher: haven't seen you since 53 *laughs*
[14.05.2021 01:52:49] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: It's the primary spot where we keep an eye on the... What's it called now, a Union?
[14.05.2021 01:52:50] [FLG]Golden.Blade: how are you friends
[14.05.2021 01:52:57] E.Taylor: Not your friend.
[14.05.2021 01:53:05] [FLG]Golden.Blade: Who are you?
[14.05.2021 01:53:21] E.Taylor: The person you crashed into Monte Carlo running from.
[14.05.2021 01:53:37] [FLG]Golden.Blade: Don't remember you
[14.05.2021 01:53:44] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: A clash of blades seems to be brewing.
[14.05.2021 01:53:48] [FLG]Golden.Blade: Well anyways - haven't seen you since 53!
[14.05.2021 01:53:59] [FLG]Golden.Blade: What brings you to Languedoc
[14.05.2021 01:54:13] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: A... miraculous gate wreckage apparently.
[14.05.2021 01:54:16] UC~Emily'Anderson: Well, very well. But I guess it goes without saying to take caution while in Gallia..
[14.05.2021 01:54:17] E.Taylor: Oh don't tell me you are friends with this one?
[14.05.2021 01:54:27] [FLG]Golden.Blade: 23 gate?
[14.05.2021 01:54:32] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Hai.
[14.05.2021 01:54:38] [FLG]Golden.Blade: You have to be careful around that thing
[14.05.2021 01:54:42] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: We are, but I see no reason to get in the way of your 'contract'.
[14.05.2021 01:54:44] [FLG]Golden.Blade: We had ships dissapear there
[14.05.2021 01:55:00] [FLG]Golden.Blade: What contract are you talking about?
[14.05.2021 01:55:00] E.Taylor: I was actually talking to Emily.
[14.05.2021 01:55:04] E.Taylor: But duly noted.
[14.05.2021 01:55:13] UC~Emily'Anderson: Oh... Right.
[14.05.2021 01:55:17] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Ah, sumimasen. I was mistaken.

[14.05.2021 01:56:45] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Sayonara~!
[14.05.2021 01:57:05] E.Taylor: Goodbye credits I guess.
[14.05.2021 01:57:10] UC~Emily'Anderson: I'm curious..
[14.05.2021 01:57:23] E.Taylor: That is exactly what I meant by difficult situations Em.
[14.05.2021 01:57:25] UC~Emily'Anderson: How do know that man?
[14.05.2021 01:57:41] UC~Emily'Anderson: Seems difficult situations follow us Eve, to be honesy.
[14.05.2021 01:58:10] E.Taylor: *Sighs* Seems so.
[14.05.2021 01:58:18] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Well, I don't *know* them, per say.
[14.05.2021 01:59:13] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Or was I mistaken on who you were directing that question to?
[14.05.2021 01:59:52] UC~Emily'Anderson: Oh no. I now know how Eve knew him... but you were correct to assume the direction of my question..
[14.05.2021 02:00:47] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: We're merely cooperating with them to keep tabs on the Gallic Navy.
[14.05.2021 02:01:10] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Apart from that, we have no real connections with them.
[14.05.2021 02:01:36] UC~Emily'Anderson: Ah. I was unaware of any connections the Maquis had to Kusari...
[14.05.2021 02:01:50] UC~Emily'Anderson: Guess it's all swings and roundabouts..
[14.05.2021 02:02:36] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Well, if my intel is right, Kusari and Gallia have reached an agreement to crack down on each others' 'undesirables'.
[14.05.2021 02:02:49] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: If they were to encroach on each others' systems.
[14.05.2021 02:03:06] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Whether formal or informal.
[14.05.2021 02:03:06] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: but feel happy maquis is going good for ya i guess
[14.05.2021 02:03:08] UC~Emily'Anderson: Well ain't that a start.
[14.05.2021 02:03:50] E.Taylor: Aren't you just pushing them to commit to it more by being here?
[14.05.2021 02:04:18] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: I believe they may be outgunned if they were to make an attempt.
[14.05.2021 02:04:36] E.Taylor: The Gallic Navy?
[14.05.2021 02:04:52] UC~Emily'Anderson: Yeah, I'm also confused about that statement..
[14.05.2021 02:04:57] E.Taylor: Not sure if I'd like those odds.
[14.05.2021 02:05:12] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: I mean that in the sense of small combat.
[14.05.2021 02:05:22] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Of course we could not compete with their entire navy.
[14.05.2021 02:05:44] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: That would be foolish. They're simply unfamiliar with the way we fight.
[14.05.2021 02:05:59] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: We have had plenty of time to witness theirs, with their wars.
[14.05.2021 02:06:21] UC~Emily'Anderson: Watching and engaging are too seperate things... though you are partically right.
[14.05.2021 02:06:26] A $48.000 credit bounty has been added to your reward pool.
[14.05.2021 02:06:55] E.Taylor: No offense but I don't think you seen the way they fought the Mollys.
[14.05.2021 02:07:04] UC~Emily'Anderson: Getting shots off on a Lynx can be tricky business...
[14.05.2021 02:07:25] UC~Emily'Anderson: Though from what I've seen from the Golden.. Chrys... Chrys... The flower people!
[14.05.2021 02:07:33] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: The Mollys? Haven't heard much of them in some time.
[14.05.2021 02:07:37] UC~Emily'Anderson: Kusarian ships also specilize in agility.
[14.05.2021 02:07:40] E.Taylor: Kept the Mollys backs to the wall, right up until the Armed Forces gave the Mollys a window to wipe both of them out.
[14.05.2021 02:07:50] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: The Golden Chrysanthemums. I'm aware it's a mouthful.
[14.05.2021 02:08:19] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Just "GC" to probably make it shorter.
[14.05.2021 02:08:28] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Seems to be a common shorter nickname for them.
[14.05.2021 02:08:29] UC~Emily'Anderson: GC... heh. Makes sense.
[14.05.2021 02:08:48] E.Taylor: Besides Gallic Navy was the ones who managed to secure Twenty-Three for a time.
[14.05.2021 02:09:06] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: For a time. Now they are spent, from what I've heard.
[14.05.2021 02:09:08] UC~Emily'Anderson: An impressive feat if I do say...
[14.05.2021 02:09:10] E.Taylor: And as anyone who has ever gone up against an Outcast and lived to tell the tale that's no small feat.
[14.05.2021 02:09:47] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: What is the shape of their Navy after all the killing they've done?
[14.05.2021 02:10:01] E.Taylor: Just ask your Navy.
[14.05.2021 02:10:17] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Easy for a freelancer to say.
[14.05.2021 02:10:32] E.Taylor: Well the Enclave is part of the Union now.
[14.05.2021 02:10:43] E.Taylor: And it was the Enclave who pushed the KNF out.
[14.05.2021 02:11:19] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Hm, hm attacking from the rear, the neverending irony how history repeats itself in a way.
[14.05.2021 02:11:23] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Isn't it.
[14.05.2021 02:11:28] E.Taylor: So if you really want to know your best bet is asking someone who was with the Kusari Navy at the end of the war.
[14.05.2021 02:12:09] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: It'd be a difficult task. Obviously they are not on speaking terms with us. In any case... Why don't we fly and talk?
[14.05.2021 02:12:16] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Let us see this massive graveyard.
[14.05.2021 02:12:34] UC~Emily'Anderson: Oh... I totally forgot... Was to busy listening...
[14.05.2021 02:12:37] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: After you sensei.
[14.05.2021 02:13:02] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: I must say, Gallia has a beauty all of its own.
[14.05.2021 02:13:19] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Though the Crow Nebula is superior.
[14.05.2021 02:13:22] UC~Emily'Anderson: Oui, it took my some time to get use too... the amount of astroids and debris I almost flew in..
[14.05.2021 02:13:33] UC~Emily'Anderson: Is everything a competition with you guys?
[14.05.2021 02:13:44] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: This burgundian red. Marvelous the scenery.
[14.05.2021 02:14:04] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: My, my.
[14.05.2021 02:14:23] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: La Dangereuse... nani...?
[14.05.2021 02:14:32] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: A creative name.
[14.05.2021 02:14:57] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: The mighty Tokugawa class/
[14.05.2021 02:15:03] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: There... a kusarian ship...
[14.05.2021 02:15:07] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: in trembles and ashes
[14.05.2021 02:15:26] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Everything falls in due time.
[14.05.2021 02:15:41] UC~Emily'Anderson: Some Destoyers over here aswell..
[14.05.2021 02:15:44] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: But you can always marvel at what remains.
[14.05.2021 02:16:02] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: This is unbelievable, so many lost souls and for what...
[14.05.2021 02:16:13] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: A truly useless squabble.
[14.05.2021 02:16:15] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: These remains of that battlefield...
[14.05.2021 02:16:35] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: There at the station another Tokugawa sensei.
[14.05.2021 02:16:41] UC~Emily'Anderson: Many ships, many souls... many family members stolen..
[14.05.2021 02:16:42] E.Taylor: You do realise who started this right?
[14.05.2021 02:16:47] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: It crashed into it...
[14.05.2021 02:17:04] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: We do, as I hope yours realize that we have nothing to do with it.
[14.05.2021 02:17:36] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: we're near aude in the debris field
[14.05.2021 02:17:48] E.Taylor: You being here and screwing around with the Gallic Navy won't help that point.
[14.05.2021 02:17:54] UC~Emily'Anderson: I recommend not staying in this particular area for long. Seems the remains of the reacots still seep radiation.
[14.05.2021 02:18:20] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: What was this base, anyways?
[14.05.2021 02:18:32] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: The readings are coming up scrambled.
[14.05.2021 02:18:38] E.Taylor: No idea.
[14.05.2021 02:19:03] UC~Emily'Anderson: Me neither, I'm sure someone orinating from Gallia could tell you...
[14.05.2021 02:19:04] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Ah, this piece's signature is still readable.
[14.05.2021 02:19:09] UC~Emily'Anderson: Maybe that Maquis pilot...
[14.05.2021 02:19:15] UC~Emily'Anderson: Before Eve goes after him..
[14.05.2021 02:19:48] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Bour...gon, Jailleu? My, Gallic names are so difficult to pronounce.
[14.05.2021 02:19:50] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: This leaves one question... all that useless conflict for what.
[14.05.2021 02:20:00] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Leaving behind tons of ressources to salvage.
[14.05.2021 02:20:57] E.Taylor: It was supposed to be about the Taus.
[14.05.2021 02:21:18] E.Taylor: Only it backfired leaving no one with enough resources to enforce any claims.
[14.05.2021 02:21:25] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: The times and places, they change, but idiots always stay the same. Idiots lead to this.
[14.05.2021 02:22:01] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: May this be one of the prime examples why the dragons shall topple these traitors down from the stolen throne...
[14.05.2021 02:22:19] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: All in due time.
[14.05.2021 02:22:23] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: All these lost souls...
[14.05.2021 02:23:11] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: Well. anything else of interest here?
[14.05.2021 02:23:34] UC~Emily'Anderson: Depending on how daring you feel...
[14.05.2021 02:23:51] UC~Emily'Anderson: You can explore other systems, where such battle took place.
[14.05.2021 02:23:52] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: getting pretty late for me
[14.05.2021 02:23:56] E.Taylor: Also depends on what you call interesting.
[14.05.2021 02:24:03] UC~Emily'Anderson: Though, I wouldn't recommend it.
[14.05.2021 02:24:06] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: if you need to you can go back
[14.05.2021 02:24:21] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: I was daring enough to go through an unstable jump hole. Try me.
[14.05.2021 02:24:40] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Sumimasen Shogun sensei, my fuel reserves are in a state of going depleted.
[14.05.2021 02:24:50] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: I should find my way back to Kusari.
[14.05.2021 02:24:57] >BD<Ubukata;Tsuya: No issue. Return before you are stranded here. Sayonara.
[14.05.2021 02:25:05] >BD<Miyazaki.Yuyuko: Sayonara!
[14.05.2021 02:25:13] E.Taylor: Until next time.
Alongside with the Gen'an Chrysanthenum pilot (GC-Yuki Onna) we were around in Shikoku for a stroll when the storm slowly arrived nearby one of the lanes. A pilot of the State Police arrived and inquired our doings, seemed offended by the GC disrupting the lane and already preying upon him. I watched after the sister, things escalated quickly, the GC surely are trigger happy ones, there were no time sadly to go in dialogue and to try to find a solution with words.
I had to retract her pod as I saw her ship burning aside.... sadly but I granted both a honorable duel, I'm not in command of her after all to dictate her. Still I saved her and was about to go... but then a pilot of the KNF ([KNF] Kh.H.Ishikawa) arrived the scene aswell, the policist atleast had respect and didn't dare anything foolish and I wouldn't hurt an already wounded soldier on the field.
Sadly both were already too blinded and didn't listen to what I would say towards them. I tried it with dialogue to convince them to finally see the truth about Kusari. Sumimasen, but in the end it ended the old ways and I had to draw my sword. Still, they granted me a fair honorable duel and the KNF pilot went in alone, they have shown atleast respect and the soldier was brave and fought well, although fighting for the wrong side sadly.
It was a long and heavy battle but I emerged victourious of it. Sadly two other pilots arrived of the KNF and I had to bail, they were enraged by their fallen comrade from what it seemed, no use they went after me hunting me down, no words could convince them... I had to pull my heavily damaged and burning vessel to a nearby GC base and brought the sister save home, although we ended up quite in the predicament. Apologies, tactically speaking I failed it with trying the dialogue, some of them seem already beyond return to convince for the righteousness of our cause...
I will treat my wounds and repair my ship, atleast I saved the sister bringing her back. The cowards of the KNF have shown their true faces, attacking wounded soldiers out of greed, blinded in their hatred... Apologies I couldn't save these people from their blindness, I will make up for my failures in the future.
Today I was honored to leave the Sendai base for the first time with you. My parents were not happy at first - but even they couldn't ignore my resolve. They have given me our family vessel they used for they research jouneys - the Magpie, which was promptly retrofitted to be at least reasonably battle worthy. I wish to gain command's trust and earn a proper Blood Dragon vessel when I leave the En'enra rank.
I must say I feel overwhelmed - just not too long ago I was a humble civilian daughter of down to earth scientists, dreaming I would one day join you in battle while studying at the Sendai Research Complex. And today I was thrust into the middle of something that truly blew my mind. I have never even seen one of these ships up close, and now I was here, trying to face them head on for our cause in a former science vessel.
I am sitting here in my escape pod, shaking, crying from the shock. I feel horrified yet...alive. Petrified about the thorn ridden journey that awaits me, but thrilled at the same time, looking forward to what's possible and the difference I can make. I did my best to help our brothers and sisters - in the end I have drawn out a cruiser and slowed it down for a very long time - but it was too much, I was too big of a thorn in their side and got sent packing into my escape pod.
I will be awaiting your arrival to retrieve me - please, hurry. 巴かけこ| Kakeko Tomoe
煙々羅 |En'enra
Today was an eventful day with much to report, hai. I bring forward my reports from two strolls.
On the first one I flew along side one of our newest En'enra (Anabuki Tomoko) in the Hayate Dust Field in Kyushu, when we encountered a mercenary pilot with the codename "Antifragile" and a pilot of the Shimamori Clan (SC Tsuru).
They had little patience for any dialogue at all and talked already about payments, drawing their weapons, falling straight ahead over Anabuki-san, I came to assist her, sadly had to retract her pod but she fought brave with an iron will until her ship sadly failed, I retracted her pod and went on with the fight.
The mercenary was skilled but eventually I emerged victorious taking their vessel out, then I had to bail though after another fight with the Shimamori, I dealt some heavy damage on their vessel depleting its hull almost fully, but then another policist arrived coming to assist, then it was time to realize there was no ground anymore to hold and headed back with my damaged vessel for repairments also saving our initiate.
Later on I joined a joint operation unit in Shikoku. Alongside our prideful flagship (>BD< Tsukuyomi) another En'enra (Tomoe Kakeko) and several outcasts and sisters of the Gen'an cell we lured a battlegroup of several naval forces vessels. Three of their "Hatchet" destroyers, multiple fighters, bombers and some gunboats and two Tokugawa-class battleships were baited into the Saiun cloud and fell for the trap.
I leaded a small escort group which baited the hostile battlegroup into the cloud and then broke formation starting attacks runs. With priortizing two of their destroyers, we successfully took down the IKN-Hashidate and SDF-Midoriko. After this a gunboat of them fell victim to our fighter packs. Together then with the Tsukuyomi and two outcast capital vessels we engaged one of their mighty Tokugawa's and emerged victorious, sadly our capital vessels were surprised by another one and had to retreat heavily damaged as the other hostile battleship and their escorts came in from behind.
We took heavy blows on their second Tokugawa but sadly got too dispersed and had to bail after it got too messy. Still, in a joint effort we damaged some of their units and had then to retreat deeper into the Saiun Cloud from them. We dealt a decisive blow and have seen, they can be tricked. Still never underestimate the enemy they fought ferociousely bitter until the end. On my way back I recovered Tomoe's pod and we flew out of this mess wounded with my heavily damaged bomber.
In recognition of your service to the Shogunate, and to your brothers and sisters within our ranks, I hereby grant you the rank of 玄武 (Genbu). You exert the spirit of bushido wherever you go. You fight with bravery and with honor, and you never fail to rescue your fellow samurai that are in danger. You even took it upon yourself to go beyond the call of duty by protecting and saving our newest recruits. For this, I award you with a unique moniker. 蛟 (Mizuchi). An ancient dragon which stalks the seas of endless space to defend its territory and kin from invaders. Wear your badge of honor well, Miyazaki-san. You've earned it.
Another combat incident to report near the New Tokyo Jumpgate at the end of Kysuhu. I was running recon to help protect a convoy of Gen'an transports heading for Hokkaido. Along the route came a Naval forces pilot, and a Police pilot. With aid from one of the Gen'an's fighters we managed to take both of them down. Shortly after both were disabled however, reinforcements arrived destroying the Gen'an fighter. The enemy had a composition of one bomber and a cruiser at this point and time. The bomber decided to confront me alone, to his own demise.
That is all, none of the convoy ships were routed or damaged during this fight.
Something else to note in this was that a Maltese warship turned up, it's IFF wasn't with the collective however and callsign was tagged "GS". It might be worth looking into.
[12.05.2021 22:20:37] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: Konichiwa, Naval pilot.
[12.05.2021 22:20:45] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Konbanwa..
[12.05.2021 22:21:32] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: Hmm, I see.
[12.05.2021 22:21:39] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Welcome, officer.
[12.05.2021 22:21:45] |KSP|Itou.Makoto[O]: Konnichiwa. I... wasn't expecting this.
[12.05.2021 22:22:20] |KSP|Itou.Makoto[O]: Am I interrupting something?
[12.05.2021 22:22:31] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Not really.
[12.05.2021 22:22:32] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: No.
[12.05.2021 22:23:09] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I just seem to run into trouble today.
[12.05.2021 22:23:31] |KSP|Itou.Makoto[O]: My apologies for disappearing earlier. More pressing matters to attend to.
[12.05.2021 22:23:45] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: It was alright.
[12.05.2021 22:23:57] GC-Yukiusagi: Yeah cause I assume your staying in Kyushu right Hotaru?
[12.05.2021 22:24:39] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: So, dragon.
[12.05.2021 22:25:01] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Just sitting here by chance?
[12.05.2021 22:25:07] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: By chance.
[12.05.2021 22:25:50] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Right..
[12.05.2021 22:25:58] |KSP|Itou.Makoto[O]: Admiring the contours of the jumpgate I'm sure.
[12.05.2021 22:26:04] GC-Fuyuzora: So Loyola Guard without Loyola
[12.05.2021 22:26:05] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: And I thought you were looking for a fight.
[12.05.2021 22:26:08] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: Admiring the contours.
[12.05.2021 22:26:32] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: Dragons do not seek out conflict where it is not needed.
[12.05.2021 22:26:58] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: There are other purposes to being here.
[12.05.2021 22:27:08] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I have my doubts.
[12.05.2021 22:27:08] |KSP|Itou.Makoto[O]: Please, enlighten us.
[12.05.2021 22:27:29] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: Whether or not you doubt me makes no difference.
[12.05.2021 22:27:56] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: As for my purpose here, it is to be an aid, and a lookout.
[12.05.2021 22:29:12] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Plausible enough.
[12.05.2021 22:29:17] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: Konichiwa, Matsumoto.
[12.05.2021 22:29:25] GC-Matsumoto:Hotaru: Konnichiwa, Kamiyama-san
[12.05.2021 22:29:33] GC-Matsumoto:Hotaru: And our enemies
[12.05.2021 22:29:46] |KSP|Itou.Makoto[O]: Konnichiwa
[12.05.2021 22:30:05] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: They are only enemies if they make themselves out to be so.
[12.05.2021 22:30:15] GC-Matsumoto:Hotaru: I don't happen to be interrupting something, hai?
[12.05.2021 22:30:15] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: The shogun acts for the better of all Kusari.
[12.05.2021 22:30:18] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I think it is pretty clear cut.
[12.05.2021 22:30:44] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Dragons, chrysanthemums.. To be shot on sight.
[12.05.2021 22:31:17] GC-Matsumoto:Hotaru: I don't see you exactly following that protocol. Not that I am complaining
[12.05.2021 22:31:47] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: I was just getting to that.
[12.05.2021 22:33:46] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: Do not taunt them, let them decide of their own free will.
[12.05.2021 22:33:49] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: If you believe so. You're ready to assist, officer?
[12.05.2021 22:34:01] |KSP|Itou.Makoto[O]: Ready when you are.
[12.05.2021 22:34:26] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Very well then.
[12.05.2021 22:34:41] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: It seems they have decided of their own free will, Hotaru.
[12.05.2021 22:34:42] GC-Matsumoto:Hotaru: Gentlemen, I wish you luck. Don't say you were not warned
[12.05.2021 22:35:04] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Let's go then.
[12.05.2021 22:35:13] GC-Matsumoto:Hotaru: Prepare!
[12.05.2021 22:35:15] [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa: Follow my lead.
[12.05.2021 22:35:22] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: Locking on target.
[12.05.2021 22:35:24] GC-Matsumoto:Hotaru: Kamiyama-san, let's show them! [12.05.2021 22:39:23] Death: [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
[12.05.2021 22:39:45] GS|MNS-Amalfi: RO: Buonasera, locals. Busy, I see. [12.05.2021 22:43:16] Death: GC-Matsumoto:Hotaru was put out of action by |KSP|Itou.Makoto[O] (Gun).
[12.05.2021 22:43:25] >BD<Kano.Kamiyama.: Very well then.

My whirlwind of an experience continues. Today I was asked to join a large group of allies. Honestly, I don't even know who was present - all I did was keep tight formation with Miyazaki Sama, trying to closely follow orders to the letter as I am still way over my head. The Genbu single handedly took on SC-Tsuru in a honorable battle. It was a fierce back and forth, I was worried, but there was no reason in the end. Miyazaki Sama handled the fierce opponent excellently.
Unopposed, our fleet then has decided to defer towards Gallia - first assaulting the jump gate from the Lorraine system, and when it has proven too tough for our artillery to destroy right away we have moved to seek out the Gallic Navy.
The only contender was the Gallic Navy cruiser Ambitieux, but the captain was clearly a complete rookie scared of combat, and to my awe the honorable Ubukata Sama let the pilot depart. Honor above all - this is why I have ideolised the Blood Dragons, and this is why I am happy to endure the hardships of learning the intricacies of their - well I suppose now - our - ways!
