Konnichiwa, the Sisters Niwa reporting.

First up, Michiyo, captaining the BD|Owari,Merchant. picked up a load of heat sinks from the junker's Trafalgar base. The paperwork will be filed as soon as the new bonuses can be figured out clearly. The Owari,Merchant is currently in Drydock at Mito, undergoing maintenance and repairs including checks on its engine pods.

The BD|Owari.Merchant, pirate transport class, has been rechristened the BD|Owari.Raider and is prepped and ready on Kyoto. We are repairing a salvaged repairship, purchased from a zoner. The transponder is currently malfunctioning, but repairs should be complete in the near future. It has been christened the BD|Owari.Engineer.

Finally, Machiyo headed out on patrol and found a few interesting things. I encountered a Junker Marauder in Kyushu, having problems with Naval Forces patrols. I assisted him by distracting a majority of the patrol craft allowing him to make his escape by tradelane.

After disengaging, i flew a pass over the Nansai Research Station and then came across a jumphole that my computer labelled as leading to the Tottori system.

I proceeded through and traversed the system, documenting all stations and other features i found. Several stations, bearing either Farmers Alliance or Hogosha transponders are present in the system including what looked to be a small sized shipyard. There is also a station belonging to Samura present.

The system links to both Rishiri and Tau-44. On the return leg to Chugoku, i was able to pick up some basic weapons from Naval Forces wrecks which are being checked out down in engineering.

That concludes this long report. If you need us, we'll be eating dinner.

Himawari, our little sister, is settling in well on Kyoto with us.

We've also, twin-handedly, filled the otherwise bypassed order for 40,000 Optronic arrays from the O'Rhu unit of the Order. You can see that here.

the newly commissioned BD|Mount.Atago is functioning at 100% and is just waiting on the fitting of extra armor plating.

Thats all we have to report for now.

Konnichiwa, the Sisters Niwa reporting.

We took the BD|Mount.Atago for a patrol around Kusari. It was mostly quiet during the patrol. We picked up a few enemies of the shogunate along the way.

The only highlight was escorting one of those AFC freelancers bringing Dragon Eyes to Kyoto.

Thats all we have to report for now.

Konnichiwa, the Sisters Niwa reporting.

We took the BD|Owari,Merchant to see if more supplies could be hauled for O'Rhu Order forces. They had already covered that though, so we traveled all the way to the home of the Council, Champagne.

We picked up some Prometheum for the researchers to research. On the way back, we met a ship of the Unione Corse. From the pilots words, the previous shogunate had less than pleasant relations with them. The idea of a meeting between the Shogunate and the Corse leaders was proposed, and the pilot said they'd pass it along to their leaders.

We deposited the Prometheum on Kyoto.

Thats all we have to report for now.

Konnichiwa, the Sisters Niwa reporting.

Today has been a busy day. This is report number 2 for the day.

Returning from a patrol around northern Kusari, i (Machi) caught an AI next to Kyoto. After a short period, the Mt.Zao followed by a mixed Order unit arrived and provided numbers. It was decided to destroy the AI, who attempted to flee.

It was caught and destroyed in Tohoku. On our return to Kyoto, we found one of the Sisters of Light visiting us. After docking my fighter, i grabbed Michi and we launched the Mt.Atago to escort the Sister and the Lake Kasumigaura to the Matsuda. May was with us, but had to rush back to Kyoto for something before we left.

After some time at the Matsuda, We returned to Kyoto, while the sister continued on to another destination. We picked up some units of H-Fuel and deposited them when we returned.

Thats all we have to report for now.

Konnichiwa, just Machi here this time.

Another day, another report after another promotion and a new ship in service.

I assembled the crew and took the BD|Mount.Takao out for a cruise in company with the BD|Lake.Kasumigaura where we came across a destroyer belonging to the Exiles group "Zenith", the /Z/-Fubuki.

Unusually, the captain wanted to only talk on a range of subjects including asking about what would happen if him and his crew defected to the Shogunate. It was quite the unusual experience.

After departing, the Takao transited through Chugoku, parting from the Lake Kasumigaura, and travelled to Tau-23 for a patrol around. The Fubuki was encountered again, along with some suspicious ships of Liberty origin. these "D9|" were highly suspicious, with 2 carrying nomad related items and weapons. Perhaps this info is something for our Order friends.

Swiftly departing on advice from the Fubuki who seemed to have encountered "D9|" before, the Takao returned to Kyushu where we stopped a GMS transport hauling Niobium Ore. The captain refused the demand to jettison all his cargo, opened fire while attempting to flee and was destroyed.

We filled the Takao's hold as much as we could with ore, before destroying the rest to prevent recovery by our enemies. The ore was deposited in the stores upon return to Kyoto.
