<::Unit was conducting menial security over Ainu Hardpoint. Katsumi-actual was suffering system malfunctions, so we awaited her arrival. Boredom ensued.
A chance check of the Probe Net in the New Tokyo jurisdiction block indicated a track of interest. We picked up a communications squawk, which was identified as 'Tokukawa Miki'. We attempted to lure it to us for further identification, posing initially as a transport in distress, under GC attack.
<::Surprisingly, the individual refused to aid, stating she had a relative in the GC. Dropping the ruse, we invited the individual to come to us and speak.
<::Over the course of the ensuing conversation, we discovered the female (Mikimiki-chan!) was, surprisingly, affiliated with the Hogosha, but sympathetic to the GC. Stating to be attempting to use the Hogosha's political connections to mediate matters between the two.
<::As you can see, we've hit the Jackpot. Everyone is to take note of this female, and under no circumstances attack it. It will open up a whole new series of opportunities to affect the political situation in Kusari to our own ends.
<::We will be in further communication with this female. All personnel take note. We must control the information she receives and what her and 'their' perceptions of us are.
<::As part of the North Kusari Mobile Blockade, we have attempted incursions into Samura-controlled mining territories. We have thus far claimed [Redacted] transport ships and [Redacted] escorts. The Installation in the area is proving bothersome, however. We have identified Kusari Naval Forces vessels actively protecting it; confirm-kusari naval forces are active in North Kusari theater.
<::This has not deterred our blockade. We have begun probing attacks to identify the cohesion of their forces. We have determined the following from our reconnaissance which is being cataloged here.
Samura has atleast 1 (one) squadron of corporate defense ships stationed in Nagano. They are aware of the Jumphole Location to Okinawa.
No Farmers' Alliance or Hogosha vessels have yet been spotted.
Krueger Minerals is actively working alongside Samura in the Shirane Field.
Kusari Naval Forces are active in defense of Shijori storage depot; atleast 1 (one) patrol gunship, and possibly 1 (one) Destroyer as a mobile reserve.
Second base of unknown cosntruction is located in the system.
<::A full strike to destroy these bases should be planned as a contingency for later. However, we have other, potentially more pressing issues to discuss;

<::This vessel, identified as "Autumn Leaves" (no confirmed relation to Kami 316-Alpha) was intercepted on the Nagano side of the Okinawa Jump Hole. It is a Zoner-flagged corvo class cruiser, and was carrying highly anomalous cargo. Primarily Exogen Remains. Due to scan-shielding, we were unable to determine the exact nature of the cargo and dispatched a boarding party from Raider-46.
<::We subsequently encountered a hostile Kusari Gunboat, flagged "IKN-Ono". This vessel is known to our covert agents, and was previously seen by a "Commando Solo" flight in New Tokyo. Both ships actively engaged our taskforce resulting in a skirmish which forced us to withdraw to the Okinawa Naval Bastion; The combined firepower outweighed our taskforce.
<::Further note; the vessel "Autumn Leaves" is not registered as a transponder hostile by base-defenses or ship targeting computers. If encountered, it should be prosecuted and seized with full force. We have tracking devices our boarding team planted but cannot rely on them. We will have recon assets attempt to track down the vessel and determine it's disposition.
<::Final Note: The captian of the vessel mentioned "Intrigue Industries" as his employer. This information should be forwarded to INTELSPIKE and investigated, and any information on them collected.

<::Delaware River is in effect. Agent [Redacted] contacted us about a possible second-strike operation in Liberty on behalf of [Redacted]. Target is likely the same.
<::RED CELL is now active, under code IVY MIKE. We confirmed the location of [Redacted] intrusion, coordinate with Liberty Navy forces. Polstari and Harper again. He keeps making that donut shop joke.
<::Tags of [Redacted] targets are as follows
<::By the looks of this. We need to have agents begin speaking to Samura. And most importantly, we need to get in touch with Kaido Marahu one way or another. We need to know what he knows.
<::Situation intensity code is 5-16. All assets should be on standby.
<::As a side note, Operation Mount Sinai continues as usual.

<::In response to recent information passed to us, we must begin operations against Gallic Civilian and Commercial targets. A better picture of Gallia's logistical strategies and corporate exploitation policies is needed. We need cargo manifests, data-banks, and most importantly, prisoners of war.
<::INTELSPIKE will begin covert investigation immediately. Fleet forces and commerce raiders will be issued extra boarding teams in the event of contact with any IDF, EFL, or other Gallic Shippers. Try to take the ships whole, and bring them to a secure area as quickly and cleanly as possible.
<::Standard ship-tracking and seizure tactics apply.
Monitor civilian and corporate manifests over open channels.
Coordinate with spies and undercover agents to confirm ship departure/arrival timetables.
Plan attacks at low-points in law enforcement patrols or outside normal patrol areas.
Overwhelm target ships with superior force of arms. Force them to co-operate.
Once compliance is achived, lead the ship to a secure area and deploy Blackwatch Naval Infantry to secure the vessel.
<::All ship-siezures should be reported on recovery and completion of operation. Commerce raider units should be forward deployed to begin operations ASAP.

<::Commerce raiding proceeded to the Kyushu System earlier and from there to the Tau-23 system, after noting a hostile Hogosha transport headed in that direction. Eventually, an IMG ship attacked our commerce raider before being turned into scrap.
<::While returning for repairs, an associate of the Hogosha seen previously arrived in the system and tried to destroy me. The Orchid class bomber showed its potential and scrapped this Black Dragon class fighter.

<::Attention Please; All Armada and Associated units are ordered to be on lookout for a vessel named "Akaga". Vessel is a Kusari Destroyer formerly under our control as a covert ops agitator. KNF secondary fleet. Task Force "North".
<::We cannot make Neurocyte pings to any of our agents aboard nor are we aware of the location of this vessel. All effort should be made to locate and recover it. It is imperative we make sure the cover of our agents aboard has not been blown. We will be monitoring Naval Forces transmission banks via undercover agents to verify.
<::All ships should be on alert. The vessel has a series of nanotags aboard and it's AI should respond to Neurocyte Net Remote Control. If the vessel has been disabled or destroyed, you must recover it's MISSION DATA RECORDER and Black Box AI. It is imperative we know everything.
<::This is priority-1 at the moment. Do not fail us.
