Battlegroup Eta-1 reporting in. Our patrol remain mostly quiet, dispatched as a result of reported blood dragon activity in New London, which could only mean they would have to go through the Taus to return to their hidden base in Kusari. Our object was to intercept the enemy battlegroup on their path. However, Honda-san, IKN Hamasaki, and I were held up dealing with what appeared to be a very stubborn Il-de-France Shipping marked slaver, carrying a load of passengers in the warzone. The aforementioned vessel, Space_Cowboy, a "Vache" class train was moving the poor souls in the cargo hold of his transport, without oxygen, food, or water. We could only assume they were prisoners or worse, slaves. After ordering his immediate stop, we engaged in conversation to attempt to force the release of his captives on Holman, only a short flight away. He showed to be unreasonable and extremely recalcitrant, deny that his employment had any relevance to enemy invasion. Refusing to comply to any demands, we radioed a rescue crew from Holman and decommissioned his vessel. Unfortunately, this incident prevented us from intercepting the Blood Dragon party.
