Subject: Encounter in Tau-29 System (10-01-821)

Today I started a morning patrol in Shikoku with a communication from a bounty hunter from Deshima, inquiring about the authorized area of operations for bounty hunting activities. After explaining the most recent points on the matter (Section 7-3-1 of the Kusari Legal Codex), I bid him farewell and moved to Kyushu.
There had been recent reports of Golden Chrysanthemums vessels in Kyushu, but none were detected during the patrol.

Proceeding to patrol Tau-29 however, I have come into contact with 2 GC ships in the vicinity of Freeport 6.
The two women, Saya Hiroyuki and Msyu Akimoto, arrived in a bomber and a gunship from a unknown point in the system. Inquired about their presence there, they said they were just going to the Freeport 6 for a drink and ship maintenance.



Communication Recording


The vessels were not carrying any illegal material, nor there were reports of attacks in Kusari space at the time. The location being Freeport 6 made me hesitate in using a more forceful approach, so I used the time to make sure the transport traffic passed by without hindrance by the GC, and issued a stiff warning.
With the GC docking in the Freeport, I returned to Kusari space, keeping a line with Nago station in the sector for any activity.

With no more occurrences, I docked at Ohashi Border Station in Shikoku for debriefing and ship inspection.
