---REPORT CONTENT BEGINS:---

Haikei,

A somewhat troubling element to this report. I came across a Chimaera with an invalid IFF transponder code, Iseijin.Yurnero, in the process of destroying a transport of unknown affiliation. It exploded just as I arrived on the scene, and a Gallic junker, Jean-de-Afrique, implored me to help, naming the pilot as an Iseij a rogue element of the Kusari Naval Forces.
Believing this to be true based on the unfolding situation, I initially engaged the target before Java Station responded by scrambling its defense wing. After the three IMG fighters dove in to take down the target, I disengaged, thinking them sufficient to disable or destroy the contact.

Instead, I proceeded out to patrol the rest of the Taus, and made a pair of contacts in Tau-31, along the trade lane to the Leeds Jumpgate. EFL|Maurice.Cornett and CR|-CM-Narcolepsy were their designations.
The Colonial-san proved unreceptive to negotiation, instead shutting off his comms channel after a brief but arrogant tirade and charging his cruise engines. The EFL security fighter and I gave chase, and the transport was disabled shortly after jumping to Leeds. It was last seen drifting forlornly in space, on fire and venting gas from many hull breaches.

Associated guncam shots are attached below:
