CommID : Kiyohime

Along with the heavy unit Henkyou, i have been patrolling in core worlds. In doing so, i encountered again a smuggler i caught a few days ago.

The log of the first encounter is the following :

[KNF]'Kiyohime': Hold it. Cut your engines at once, smuggler.
[KNF]'Kiyohime': You shall drop those slaves.
[KNF]'Kiyohime': Cut your engines, i said.
[KNF]'Kiyohime': Good.
Hugh_Miller: ok well, how about 2 million and we call it a day
[KNF]'Kiyohime': You are carrying slaves. This is a violation of our laws.
[KNF]'Kiyohime': I won't accept any bribe. Keep insulting me and i will dust your ship.
Hugh_Miller: do it, im suicidal
[KNF]'Kiyohime': You shall drop those slaves and pay a fine.
Hugh_Miller: i shall do noting
[KNF]'Kiyohime': Fine.
Hugh_Miller: hm
Hugh_Miller: hahaha
Hugh_Miller: this is getting tiresome
Hugh_Miller: are we done here?
[KNF]'Kiyohime': Far from done.
Hugh_Miller: mhm
Hugh_Miller: you know there are pirate the are on the shikoku lane
Hugh_Miller: and your wasting your time here
[KNF]'Kiyohime': Good.
Hugh_Miller: good?
Hugh_Miller: arent you a naval officer?
Hugh_Miller: shirking your duties?
Hugh_Miller: some honor code
[KNF]'Kiyohime': I'm taking care of you first.
Hugh_Miller: clearly.....
Hugh_Miller: this is getting ridiculous
Hugh_Miller: you need to rethink your priorities
Hugh_Miller: yawn
[KNF]'Kiyohime': Good.
Hugh_Miller: im bored
[KNF]'Kiyohime': Go away.
[KNF]'Kiyohime': Get out of my sight.

As shown by the logs, i started to destroy the slaver's ship guns. One by one. Until he decided to drop his slaves.
This method is quite effective.

But sadly, this captain didn't learn anything from our last encounter.

After having attempted to discuss with the slaver, we were forced to destroy his ship. I then waited until one of our transports could be redirected to Osaka to rescue those slaves.

The Amakusa was able to rescue a fair part of them. Several of them died, sadly. We moved them back to the closest freeport.

Lastly, as we were dealing with an Artificial Intelligence cruiser in Shikoku system, i received a peculiar message from a Gas Miner Guild vessel :

GMG|~Taruko,Ishibashi,: Kon'nichiwa.
[KNF]Kyokotsu: Speak, miner.
GMG|~Taruko,Ishibashi,: I found AFA transport with artifacts, I'm requesting permission to destroy it.
[KNF]Kyokotsu: Is it in Sigmas?
GMG|~Taruko,Ishibashi,: We are following him from SIgma-17
GMG|~Taruko,Ishibashi,: He flew from Gamma, we think.
[KNF]Kyokotsu: If he entered in Kusari space, then you don't have the clearance to destroy a civilian ship.
GMG|~Taruko,Ishibashi,: And if that civilian is smuggler?
[KNF]Kyokotsu: You aren't allowed to enforce Kusari laws in Kusari sovereign space.
GMG|~Taruko,Ishibashi,: Hmmmm.
[KNF]Kyokotsu: Nor can we enforce Kusari laws in Sigmas.
[KNF]Kyokotsu: Until a new treaty is made between the Republic and Gas Miner Guild.
[KNF]Kyokotsu: Your organization has been ignoring our attempts to do so.
GMG|~Taruko,Ishibashi,: I'm not interested in this...
[KNF]Kyokotsu: Good.
[KNF]Kyokotsu: I'm merely explaining you the situation.
GMG|~Taruko,Ishibashi,: I've told you, what I wanted to... Now you can be happy that Artifacts are in safe of Farmers Alliance.
[KNF]Kyokotsu: Your concern is noted.
GMG|~Taruko,Ishibashi,: Concern?
[KNF]Kyokotsu: Yes.
GMG|~Taruko,Ishibashi,: That's truth... not concern
[KNF]Kyokotsu: There can be many truths.
GMG|~Taruko,Ishibashi,: If you want I took some guncam shoots.
[KNF]Kyokotsu: I believe you.
[KNF]Kyokotsu: No need for them.
GMG|~Taruko,Ishibashi,: If you say so...

I have to admit i find rather amusing the Guild is expecting us to allow them to enforce our laws in Honshu, when its leaders persistently ignored our attempts to negotiate a new treaty, that would replace the Aomori one, virtually considered void by the two parties after the Emperor's decision to attack the GMG, following the Kurile crisis.

Regardless, we caught the Farmer Alliance transport undocking from Kabukicho depot, thus further incriminating Hogosha of covertly assisting that criminal organization.
The Raba transport was eventually destroyed in Kyushu system.

To conclude this report, i recommend the captain of the ship callsign'd "Hugh_Miller" to be added to the criminals list, and its ship to be destroyed on sight, given its repeated violations of our laws and his refusal to cooperate to our orders.

Sayonara.
