Subject: BDM transport encounter

Konnichiwa. Yesterday I was out on patrol in New Tokyo together with Tokkeitai's Hakutaku-san, when a transmission through the military channels arrived. The transmission indicated that one ship of the Rheinland BDM agency was requesting permission to enter Kusari space. We linked up with the ship in Akita Border Station in the Honshu system.



The vessel was a Uruz class transport, callsign BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir , and was carrying what he called a new type of ablative power armor plating to be tested and used in Yokohama shipyard. We decided to provide escort to the destination, and only had one incident of a junker appearing near Akita station before departure, which Hakutaku decided to deal with singlehandedly.



The travel to Yokohama Shipyard in the New Tokyo System proved uneventful, and the cargo was safely delivered. Back then I thought it was unusual for the intelligence office to be doing deliveries, but perhaps there was something secret about the cargo properties, so I refrained to make any questions. Perhaps I should have done so.



The return trip was also uneventful, and me and Hakutaku-san left the rheinlanders on our border in the sigma-13 system.

With the Honshu system calm, I decided to patrol by myself the Kyushu lanes and the Tau-29 operational area. Other than some freelancer ships, I have found nothing unusual, and I returned to base in Hokkaido.
