“Ah, my first report..” Ran clears her throat. “Konnichiwa, sisters!
I was called by sister Shine to rendezvous in the Hokkaido system, and that was where we met up. She invited me to tag along to find another sister, Munen Musou, which we found shortly after reaching Ainu Depot. After delivering some information regarding the missing Hana Ken, the three of us decided to check some suspicious reported activity in Tohoku.”
“In Tohoku, unfortunately, we haven’t found anything suspicious that would fit the patrol report, but we found a curious Freelancer sitting near Ryuku Base. He said he was an old Libertonian police officer who was searching for his lost friend, saying he last lost him in this system. Right.. in Tohoku.. around Heaven’s Gate.” She looks around for a while, distracted by something. “He also mentioned he had good information that might benefit us from a supposed Bretonian Intelligence officer, but we had no ground to support his claims. We tried to convince him to drop his search, but he cruised his engines and instead of going home, turned straight to the Arch, yelling things like he was an old Order pilot during the Nomad War or something.. Old fool searching for his death, I suppose.”She makes a short pause.
“Having found nothing else in Tohoku, we decided to move up to Honshu through Okinawa to disrupt trade there. We only encountered one silent miner ship, carrying nuclear devices of all things! Despite our attempts to stop him and using countless cruise disruptors, the ship refused to respond or stop, so we neutralized it.” A mischievous smile appears on her face. “From the escape pod the pilot finally responded, “jerks”.” She starts speaking in a bemused voice. “I guess a near-death experience managed to finally make him realize he could talk!”
“Having found no trade traffic in Honshu, we moved to New Tokyo, and then to Shikoku, but we found no transit there as well. We decided to call it a day and head to Morioka.”
