Konbanwa Nagata sama!

Due to the unusual encounter I will forward this report directly to you, sir. Also, I have to apologize for the delayed report, as there was quite some activity recently.



The patrol started a little early at 820-11-17, 1825 SMT due to a call from Akira Akuma san, having spotted Outcasts in the middle of New Tokyo. Since their force consisted of a destroyer, a bomber and a fighter, we were also accompanied by Tokketai operative 'Harutsuki', Commander Shimizu san and Commander Shizuku, also taking command, and a rookie Sub-Lieutenant, Shimoe san.

Right after contact with the Outcasts group between New Tokyo and Shinjiku, my instruments seemed far off, and assuming a severe malfuction, I started retreating to New Tokyo already. There I actually came across KPT Commander Motoya, who joined our group after informing him. As the signs of malfunction disappeared as fast as they had appeared, I regarded it more important to return to the fight.

Since bringing three Umibozu into the fight, the destroyer '#tensel' was taken care of quickly, as was the bomber 'The.Ancient.Mystery'. After Shimoe san was slightly unable to win his dogfight with the remaining fighter 'MoneyMagnet', Shizuku san ordered 'Harutsuki' and me to engage him as well what he could not survived.



After the Outcast threat was taken care of, the remaining patrol, 'Harutsuki', Shizuku san, Commander Shimizu san and myself, turned towards Shikoku and split up to go to Galileo and Kepler respectively. After meeting up at Ames station, we were sent on an assignment by operative 'Harutsuki', who accepted a mission from Myoko. So we had to intercept a number of tertiary Lane Hacker forces in Galileo.

After emerging out of those dark clouds again, we picked up communications by the Liberty Navy, who had also entered Galileo for reasons unknown to us at that moment. Until Commander Shimizu san discovered a huge alien vessel of purple design near the trade lanes. While we assumed the Liberty forces would assist us with this unknown threat, they actually just idled aimless like, pardon me there, the filthy gaijin they are. So we intercepted the huge alien vessel, trying to find out its intentions. After short it became apparent that it was in a way hostile and opened fire with its purple weapons.

Since Commander Shimizu san was the only one with a bomber craft, escorted by chimaeras, we called for support. Shizuku san left and later returned aboard his battle cruiser KDS Hyuga, trying to outmaneuver the larger alien vessel. From his reports it became apparent in retrospect that the upgrades to his engines greatly reduced KDS Hyugas agility, and so they were only able to damage the purple vessel, but being unable to move properly, KDS Hyuga got severely damaged too and eventually unable to continue the fight.

With only one bomber, but luckily civilian pilot 'Henry_Miller' joining with his fighter, we had a very hard time of slowly wearing down the huge purple vessel. Owing to everyone's continued fearless fight against the alien purple, especially Commander Shimizu sans, we finally could remove this threat from Galileo without fuirther losses. It is unclear if the Liberty vessels present in the distance actually took part in this.

Also, I compiled all available information collected on the purple vessel for you, Nagata sama, and will send them to you in a separate stream.



After this, I was assigned to another patrol. While Shizuku san, rescued from KDS Hyuga, and Commander Shimizu san remained on standby in New Tokyo, I followed 'Harutsuki', who was joined by her operative 'Master' 'Hakutaku' and another Tokketai operative callsigned 'Kuromaguro'.

The patrol headed out far into the Sigmas to make a visit to Planet Kurile operated by our Samura san. It was relatively uneventful, and while the Tokketai continued their patrol, my duty ended at 820-11-17, 2110 SMT.
