An old man in traditional clothes of the fisherman of Junyo appears in view. He looks concerned about something, but his expression shows relief when the link is established.
Konbanwa, Takao-san. We have not met before, but a lady, or was it a doll?... a "machine doll" Iona asked me to contact you, when I had something interesting to show.
And something to show I have today, very interesting indeed.
As I headed to New Tokyo to deliver a shipment, I noticed quite a lot of traffic in the planet vicinity, including police officers of the RKS|- agency.
The policemen were questioning a convoy with the KTA tag adorning their ships. Seems they were caught doing some trouble, probably "farmer" related troubles, and the police were severely reprimanding them.
Ships were KTA|CV-Inoshikacho , KTA|Hamayaki.Toketsu , and RKS|-Naginata and RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa
I attach some footage and public channel recordings.

Second item on our list were just a few minutes after this incident. One of the officers I was chatting with suddenly said he had received a communication from somewhere. Usually that means that there was trouble somewhere else.
I gave some spacing and then followed the officer's trail to Yokohama shipyard, where there were some Rheinlanders. Not just some rheinalnders, but some sort of intelligence group of rheinlanders... like you lads are.
I stayed for just a little while, lest any of them would become too weary. I did sent a call for some of our partners in Yokohama to keep us updated, but they could only see what was happening, and we only have what we could picture by our presence.
RKS|-Naginata and RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa again, with Sato and BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir on the other side.

The lads at Yokohama proved useful however, as we were returning they warned us about a Gallic navy pilot wandering around the area.
We did find him, as well as the police, near Shinagawa Station.
A GRN|Maurice.Cornett was talking with a very tense RKS|-Naginata , which surely was feeling pressured with dealing with so many gaijin in one day.
We wanted to stay and record the occurrence in full, but we were alerted that a Navy destroyer called [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki was arriving to deal with the matter, so we decided to avoid getting fired upon and landed on Shinagawa, before we could get trouble.
We have heard that the KNF sent another pilot, from a special battalion or something, to the area too, but the situation resolved diplomatically.
Final footage and comm records follow.

We have recently established communications with the Kyushu Trade Alliance, now known as Kyushu Tomioka Alliance, and have agreed to a sort of commercial partnership with the group.
The reforged group indicates that is now Samura affiliated, and Katsu Takeda has taken the role of leadership from his father Toori Takeda, the original founder.
KTA operations seem to have taken a shift from Liberty markets to Rheinland. It is unknown as to why such a change, but I suspect they had some troubles adapting to the Liberty market, as we had before.
The entrance on the Rheinland market concerns us a little business wise, but we feel it's tolerable.

If you have any information about this lot, I ask that you provide it to us. As you might be aware, these security issues in Shikoku are one of our greatest concerns.
