Sonoda is seen slightly agitated. But he regains his cool and looks in the camera.
'Well. Semi-succesfull patrol today. After I undocked from Shinigawa Station to meet up with Kato-sama, flying in the Inugami we encountered several traders. One of which was carrying military vehicles. Kati-sama denied his docking rights but the trader rushed and managed to dock anyway. So keep a look-out on that trader and arrest him.'
'We then spotted a Lane Hacker on the radar, rude gaijins in our territory!' 'We chased him, although he was out of range, but thankfully we got back-up from Shin-san who intercepted the smuggler near the Shikoku jumpgate. Kato-sama laid down the law on him and he agreed in being escorted to Fuchu Prison after a long debate.' 'After jumping to Shikoku Shin-san went ahead and I was behind the trader.'
Then Sonoda bows his head down and sighs.
'I, however, made a mistake here. My board computer missed the lane and the smuggler took the lane where I passed it. He quit the lane halfway and jumped off and flew away.'
Sonoda looks back up.
'Shin-san was able to intercept him at the Galileo jumphole, unfortunate enough Kato-sama couldn't follow him. Shin-san and me jumped to Galileo to lay down the law upon the smuggler, and although he was nearly damaged to completion he managed to dock on Leiden base.'
'We headed back and Shin-san head to go. Kato-sama and me continued back to Shinigawa Station and went on our patrol once more. One gaijin in a "Percheron" passed us. I explained him the law, but Kato-sama and me had the feeling this was a spy, so we engaged him for trespassing Kusari territory. He engaged me but got shortly after that blown up by Kato-sama.'
He starts laughing at this point. But regains his serious face fast.
'We didn't had any encounters worth our while, but we managed to help out to honorable civilians who are looking to join the Naval Forces. We escorted them to Hokkaido to battleship Matsugato where we aided them in aquiring the right transponder and papers. This was succesfull.'
I am going to polish my katana once more as later today I will have to undergo the fighters test. My ship is ready, my senses sharper and hopefully my ancestors will guide me through this.
