Konabnwa. There have been several patrols since my last report, so I'll keep them brief here.
On the 28th of this month I did small patrol on New Tokyo with one of the new ranks, Nitto Kaii Hido Teiso. The only mentionable thing was an ALG vessel carrying h-fuel. We inquired about it's destination and it informed us the the vessel was going to Planet Kyushu. We followed the ship to confirm the story, which turned out to be true. The patrol went for a few moments longer before Teiso-san ended his flight.
Later on, I received a call from Nitto Kaii Katsumi Takeda regarding Xenos pirating in Kepler. I headed there in my bomber based on her information.
When I arrived, I found Takeda-sanwith the Xenos a few KM from the Shikoku gate, loitering in the middle of the tradelane. The Vessels were called AnnMolly , Anaconda and Evangelion - 2 fighters and one transport. Ships were a "Prosecutor" model VHF, a "Eagle" VHF and a Pirate Train.
Evidence of piracy attempts was evident, and several warnings to leave the area were issued. [KNF]Jaaku-na appeared to provide assistance as well.
Just as the time granted for them to leave the area was about to expire, the pilot AnnMolly obeyed the order and headed in direction of Ames, while the other two kept doing small talk and delaying.
Seeing that they would not obey promptly, Takeda-san requested and received authorization to attack the ships. We proceeded to strike the pirate transport Evangellion, which was destroyed nearer to Ames station.

After the destruction of the pirate transport, Takeda-san engaged the second fighter Anaconda, while me and Jaaku-na kept an eye on the AnnMolly, who had retreated to the Ames Research Station "no firing zone" on time.
A zoner ship appeared, one that had appeared sometimes before when our patrols went to the Station. This [Fedaykin]-Hayt seemed annoyed with our presence, and blamed us on some incident that a supposed blood dragon caused on Ames. I requested that the information related to the case be transmitted to the Navy for investigation, but it seems up until now no such data has been received.
After a few more moments of listening to the zoner concerns, and the remaining xeno testing our patience, we returned to Shikoku and concluded our mission on the Myoko.

On the 30th, a squadron was deployed in response to a possible Outcast large vessel heading to Kyushu trough New Tokyo.
I deployed on my bomber again and coordinated with the others to control all the passages in New Tokyo.
However after a while one of our ships detected an Artificial Intelligence Core Vessel Cruiser drifting between Shinjuku Station and Planet New Tokyo. AI vessel had a callsign Sigh. KNF members present included Katsumi Takeda, Taisuke Bei, and bombers Shingen and Jaaku-na.
Most of the squadron converged on the location and orders for the AI to stop were issued and ignored. It was decided that the vessel had to be destroyed, and we started the engagement.
The AI guns were dangerous, and it took the efforts of the squadron and some help of the [KNF]KDS-Akisame to bring it down near Planet New Tokyo. I took some damage on my bomber, and Jaaku-na was shot down during the combat, the pilot recovered whit some injuries but alive.
The previous Outcast escaped our network during the conflict.

On the 31st, we were deployed on Shikoku and Kyushu. Tokkeitai Agent Kyohime detected an BMM Hegemon (Markus_Obama) traveling trough the jumpholes connecting Kyushu and New Tokyo, and we intercepted it near that location. Seems he was carrying a cloak, and tried to engage it despite orders not to.
A few moments on, a large manhunt was performed on a pilot William.Riker , identified by Agent Kyohime as a bretonian spy. We hold out in Shikoku for signs of him, coordinating with Nitto Kaii Taisuke.Bei and Nitto Kaii Mitsu.Toshi, but soon a more urgent situation appeared.
Several Blood dragon ships were reported in Honshu, and a large group was summoned in response. Working with Mitsu.Toshi-san, our two fighters scouted the system, while a group of bombers and destroyers assembled. Toshi-san spotted a Battleship with a single fighter escort near Osaka, and I was ordered to return to base to pick up my bomber.
While heading to the assist from New Tokyo, I received a communication from the battlegroup that a freelancer with bounty hunter iff was carrying black market munitions.
I found the Rheinland Transport Wapcaplet approaching Planet New Tokyo with almost 3000 units of black market munitions, and ordered him to surrender the cargo and pay a fine.
The pilot was very obedient, and in the end payed only 750.000 credits for the fine.
By that time, most of the confrontation was concluded and my services there were not required.

A few moment later, a request from an Universal pilot in Kepler for escort was received. Apparently Hogosha vessels had been harassing Liberty shipments for an hour. I've met the Transport in the Kepler system, were it was being guarded by a Liberty Navy vessel piloted by a 4-56|LN-A.Henderson-B
The captain of the Universal|Chimaera was transporting Neon to Planet Tomioka and I made sure is voyage was safe from more unwanted interventions.
During the voyage we exchanged views and information regarding recent events around Sirius. The Libertonian was convinced that a "closed border" policy that the Hogosha were promoting before would have a crippling effect on our economy, but I wondered if the effects on Liberty wouldn't be bigger.
He returned to Liberty with a shipment of Furs, and I headed to the Myoko for the conclusion of my patrol.
