It is with a heavy heart that I write this report. Less then 24 hours ago Motoko Kusanagi and myself were well. But let me start at the beginning.
The Black Dragon Society has noticed a significant drop in the amount of gold available for our ships and resources. We reasoned out two main causes for the drop. As you are well aware, the primary source of gold in Sirius is Dublin. What you might not be aware of is that the two most efficient refineries of gold are in Rheinland and Liberty, so we are still able to fulfill our need for this resource.
Unfortunately, since the beginning of the Rheinland/Liberty war, gold prices have risen, and now between the tensions with Liberty and the Junkers attacking shipments in the Sigmas, gold has become very scarce.
The Black Dragon Society devised a plan to acquire some gold ore, and take it to Rheinland for processing, and then deliver it to the master shipbuilders at Yokohama Shipyard, for the production of Imperial Fleet vessels.
Myself and Motoko Kusangi were tasked with carrying out a limited scope operational trial. After taking some Military Vehicals the KSP had confiscated to the Nagasaki, we proceeded to Dublin. En route we encounter a Junker, who attacked us and died for it, but he had no valuable resources aboard, so we proceeded.
We then came across a BMM working together with a Zoner, to haul their ill gotten gains for them. We were immediately attacked by the 3 vessels. We were holding our own, but a Supernova shot from the BMM Mafic tore off the back of my Kamome, forcing me to eject. I drifted in my escape pod, contacting allies we had set in place for just such a contingency. While drifting, I heard one last message from Motoko, but it was garbled. I then received a system wide transmission from the BMM stating that they had destroyed the invaders.
I now rest in a hospital on Honshu and write this. My mechanical arm was destroyed in the process of ejecting, but that is the least of my worries. My Kamome was also destroyed and had to be left behind.
The devastating news though, is that I, nor any of my network of contacts, have heard anything from Motoko, she is feared dead or captured.
I implore you, officers of His Majesty, do not let Motoko's sacrifice go unnoticed. Strengthen the BDS so that we may continue to take the fight to Dublin. If this group of Zoners that was working with the BMM are seen in Kusari, extract revenge for their evil.
Here are the only images I could recover from my escape pod.
