Akira Sugimori here. Today was unusual in many respects.
The first strange thing was an encounter with a Liberty trader carrying illegal modified alien weapons. I brought the Kabuto as backup to deal with this, but it went well. The trader complied and the weapons were secured. Ishikawa should have the details on that.
Next, we encountered an MND ship outside of Junyo, with myself flying the Bokken. The first of several, as it turned out. The pilot in question was flying a Roc bomber, and openly admitted they were on some sort of anti-Liberty scout mission. Thankfully they complied with our order to leave Kusari space.
Only moments later, we encountered a Montante-class gunboat also flown by Rheinland forces. Though the pilot initially denied being affiliated with foreign military forces, they too agreed to leave. This guncam image was taken by Ishikawa.
Not much later, believe it or not, there was another encounter with the MND. This time, I was flying the Naginata. There was a transport under BDM designation, with a Spatial class escort. Though the Spatial's pilot at first denied association, they eventually confirmed that they were traveling in convoy.
The BDM captain was adamant they were permitted to operate in this manner. Not wanting to draw the situation out any longer, we ended up permitting them to leave Kusari with their intended cargo. Ishikawa escorted them from Shinagawa to the border.
[12.07.2014 22:50:32]RKS|-Naginata: Hofvarpnir, please identify yourself.
[12.07.2014 22:50:51] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: This is Logistics Vessel Hofvarpnir.
[12.07.2014 22:51:14] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: I'm set to ferry supplies between mission critical sites in Kusari and Rheinland.
[12.07.2014 22:51:35] RKS|-Naginata: Hm. Is there an agreement of the sorts in action? This is not something normally permitted.
[12.07.2014 22:51:45] Sato: Konnichiwa
[12.07.2014 22:51:52] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: There is a trade agreement between Rheinland and Kusari, yes.
[12.07.2014 22:52:15] RKS|-Naginata: There is a trade agreement, yes. But normally, military vessels are not permitted in Kusari space.
[12.07.2014 22:52:48] RKS|-Naginata: Please hold, Sato.
[12.07.2014 22:53:04] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: There is a mutual defense pact which allows Rheinland and Kusari military and police vessels to patrol
[12.07.2014 22:53:07] Sato: Sure... may i ask what is wrong, officer?
[12.07.2014 22:53:15] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: Deep in Rheinland and Kusari space.
[12.07.2014 22:53:35] RKS|-Naginata: There is an agreement for excursions into the Honshu system. It does not cover the rest of Kusari space.
[12.07.2014 22:53:55] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: For military vessels. Logistics and trade vessels and their escorts are another matter.
[12.07.2014 22:54:33] RKS|-Naginata: Unless something has changed recently, they would have to request permission first.
[12.07.2014 22:54:44] RKS|-Naginata: And be escorted by Kusari law enforcers.
[12.07.2014 22:55:14] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: As far as command is concerned, this vessel is a cargo transport - if you wish to classify this transport as a combat vessel
[12.07.2014 22:55:24] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: then by all means, we'll leave.
[12.07.2014 22:55:53] RKS|-Naginata: It is not the class of vessel that is an issue. It is the military identification, as foreign law enforcement ships, be they-
[12.07.2014 22:56:16] RKS|-Naginata: police, military or intelligence ships, transports or otherwise, are normally not permitted.
[12.07.2014 22:56:43] Sato: Hurry up officer. I have a customer in Kepler, waiting for this ship.
[12.07.2014 22:57:03] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: The Naval High Command didn't seem to interpret the treaty in that fashion where they were encountered
[12.07.2014 22:57:05] RKS|-Naginata: Are the two of you travelling together?
[12.07.2014 22:57:12] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: Sato is my escort, yes.
[12.07.2014 22:57:22] RKS|-Naginata: What is your planned route?
[12.07.2014 22:57:35] Sato: What? Are you joking? I even don't know him!
[12.07.2014 22:58:09] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: From here to Honshu, to the Sigmas, then Frankfurt.
[12.07.2014 22:58:12] RKS|-Naginata: So, we have a misunderstanding of some sort here?
[12.07.2014 22:58:49] RKS|-Naginata: Hofvarpnir, you stated this Spatial was your escort, but they disagree. What is the meaning of this?
[12.07.2014 22:59:18] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: Must have been a comm malfunction.
[12.07.2014 22:59:28] Sato: Alright... I admit, i'm part of the escort
[12.07.2014 22:59:51] RKS|-Naginata: *sighs* Look, I'm not the youngest anymore. I don't need this to be any more complicated than necessary.
[12.07.2014 23:00:06] RKS|-Naginata: I just want to know what's going on, so I can decide how to deal with it.
[12.07.2014 23:00:21] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: To reiterate, we're securely ferrying supplies as per our trade pact
[12.07.2014 23:00:30] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: using civilian transport and escort ships.
[12.07.2014 23:00:35] RKS|-Naginata: Ah, Ishikawa, you're here. Very good.
[12.07.2014 23:01:20] RKS|-Naginata: As I said, there is no agreement that allows military vessels from foreign nations to enter Kusari space without prior-
[12.07.2014 23:01:30] RKS|-Naginata: invitation.
[12.07.2014 23:01:39] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: We are not military vessels, we are logistical trade vessels
[12.07.2014 23:02:03] Don't use F1 or disconnect when interacting with other players.
[12.07.2014 23:02:09] RKS|-Naginata: As I said earlier, your ship class is not relevant in this matter.
[12.07.2014 23:02:29] RKS|-Naginata: Kusari has a strict policy of keeping logistics to corporate, not military ships.
[12.07.2014 23:02:54] RKS|-Naginata: That applies to the BDM as much as to any other foreign government forces.
[12.07.2014 23:02:57] Sato: Logistic vessels, not military ships
[12.07.2014 23:03:15] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: Very well then. I will contact High Command to see to it the language of the trade pact is altered
[12.07.2014 23:03:26] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: to prevent this... misunderstanding in the future.
[12.07.2014 23:03:47] RKS|-Naginata: You're welcome to do so. In the mean time, just tell me your exact route and what cargo you will be exchanging, and where-
[12.07.2014 23:03:58] RKS|-Naginata: And I will be happy to escort you through and out of Kusari space.
[12.07.2014 23:04:20] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: We were scheduled to deliver this crew to Shinagawa
[12.07.2014 23:04:42] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: after which we load optical hardware bound for our shipyards in Hamburg
[12.07.2014 23:04:42] RKS|-Naginata: And take on Optical Chips, I imagine?
[12.07.2014 23:05:01] RKS|-Naginata: Very well. I will escort you to the Sigma-13 jump gate.
[12.07.2014 23:05:05] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: Many thanks
[12.07.2014 23:05:41] RKS|-Naginata: Ishikawa, will you take the lead?
[12.07.2014 23:05:45] RKS|-Naginata: I'll bring up the rear.
[12.07.2014 23:05:50] BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir: Forming up.
[12.07.2014 23:05:53] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: As you wish.
[12.07.2014 23:07:22] RKS|-Naginata: Alright. We'll wait for you to load.
[12.07.2014 23:07:23] Traffic control alert: BDM|LV-Hofvarpnir has requested to dock
While the BDM transport was loading at Shinagawa, a GRN Lynx appeared. Naturally, I inquired as to what they were doing in Kusari space. This ended up being a long conversation. Interestingly, the Gallic that had originally been arrogant and condescending, suddenly became much more polite when the Naval Forces Destroyer Shimotsuki arrived. In the end, I escorted him out of Kusari space via the Taus.
[12.07.2014 23:08:11] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I didn't interrupt anything, I hope?
[12.07.2014 23:08:33] RKS|-Naginata: Why are you here, Navy?
[12.07.2014 23:09:33] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I answer to the king, not to you, Naginata - or its captain.
[12.07.2014 23:09:55] RKS|-Naginata: When you are flying in Kusari space, you will answer to Kusari law. As everyone does.
[12.07.2014 23:10:01] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: However, I'm merely mapping the region. During the last summit, I learned that our maps are rather lacking right now.
[12.07.2014 23:10:57] RKS|-Naginata: Mapping our house is very nice, however you must be flying a civilian vessel to do so.
[12.07.2014 23:11:13] Sato: May we continue with our route?
[12.07.2014 23:11:14] RKS|-Naginata: Foreign military vessels are not permitted in Kusari space.
[12.07.2014 23:11:25] RKS|-Naginata: Ishikawa, will you escort them to the border?
[12.07.2014 23:12:23] RKS|-Naginata: Very well. As for you, Cornett, as I said you are not permitted to fly foreign military vessels in our house.
[12.07.2014 23:12:29] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Ah. For a moment I feared you were ordering your fellow officer to escort me out.
[12.07.2014 23:12:43] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I would rather not have to inform my superiors of my failure.
[12.07.2014 23:12:49] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: As I'm sure you understand.
[12.07.2014 23:13:09] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: So, what exactly is the problem, might I ask? I was shown around by a Naval Forces officer many months ago.
[12.07.2014 23:13:42] RKS|-Naginata: There is no problem with an arranged tour. There is however very much a problem with a foreign military vessel simply showing-
[12.07.2014 23:13:47] RKS|-Naginata: up uninvited.
[12.07.2014 23:14:13] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Were I in possession of a different vessel, I would've happily obliged.
[12.07.2014 23:14:15] RKS|-Naginata: And I'm sure your superiors are very much aware of Kusari law.
[12.07.2014 23:14:39] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: They are equally aware of your house's position relative to ours.
[12.07.2014 23:14:49] RKS|-Naginata: If the Gallic Royal Navy feels the need to....."map" Kusari space, which I find strange enough, then I'm sure they can-
[12.07.2014 23:14:57] RKS|-Naginata: find a civilian vessel capable of doing so.
[12.07.2014 23:15:25] RKS|-Naginata: The position of your house does not change my duty to upholding the Republic's laws.
[12.07.2014 23:15:36] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Very well then. I'm not so much mapping the region as keeping an eye out. During our last visit, this house proved to be
[12.07.2014 23:15:51] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Uh, infested with various pests.
[12.07.2014 23:16:08] RKS|-Naginata: You have no right to "keep an eye" out in our space. At least not on a military vessel.
[12.07.2014 23:16:20] RKS|-Naginata: That is what the police is for.
[12.07.2014 23:16:40] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: "You have no right". You're very fond of that particular sentence, aren't you?
[12.07.2014 23:16:57] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I would request you address me with the slightest bit of respect.
[12.07.2014 23:17:00] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I would appreciate that greatly.
[12.07.2014 23:17:11] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Konbanwa, this is Captain Enomoto speaking. How is the situation today?
[12.07.2014 23:17:19] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: It is thanks to us that you can still call yourselves a sovereign state.
[12.07.2014 23:17:34] RKS|-Naginata: We have a rather uncooperative GRN pilot at Shinagawa.
[12.07.2014 23:17:47] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Enomoto: Eh, Gallics?
[12.07.2014 23:17:50] RKS|-Naginata: I have been absolutely respectful so far. Certainly not something you can claim.
[12.07.2014 23:18:08] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Did he stated why he is here?
[12.07.2014 23:18:09] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: For me to address you with respect, you will first have to earn it, officer.
[12.07.2014 23:18:10] RKS|-Naginata: Hai. Lynx pilot, he believes he owns this place.
[12.07.2014 23:18:19] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: And your nit-picking over my choice of vessel is certainly not earning it.
[12.07.2014 23:18:23] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Rather the opposite, really.
[12.07.2014 23:18:28] RKS|-Naginata: To "map" it, to "keep an eye out", very silly excuses.
[12.07.2014 23:18:34] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Roger, I'll be on my way over there then.
[12.07.2014 23:18:47] RKS|-Naginata: It isn't your choice of vessel. Gallic Naval vessels are not illegal in Kusari.
[12.07.2014 23:19:00] RKS|-Naginata: But foreign law enforcement and government ships are.
[12.07.2014 23:19:14] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: It is not my vessel, but my ship?
[12.07.2014 23:19:21] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: You're not clearing up this matter at all.
[12.07.2014 23:19:23] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Enomoto: Good evening to all vessels present.
[12.07.2014 23:19:30] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Bonsoir, captain.
[12.07.2014 23:19:46] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Enomoto: Welcome Gallic officer.
[12.07.2014 23:20:11] RKS|-Naginata: You're not making this any easier with your....unnecessary nitpicking. You know full well what I mean.
[12.07.2014 23:20:32] RKS|-Naginata: You're a representative of a foreign military, and as such, not permitted to fly in Kusari space without invitation.
[12.07.2014 23:20:35] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: What is the reason of having the pleasure of your presence here today?
[12.07.2014 23:20:36] RKS|-Naginata: Is that sufficiently clear?
[12.07.2014 23:21:04] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: One could say that I'm checking up on our neighbors, captain. Additionally, I felt that it doesn't hurt for me
[12.07.2014 23:21:11] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: to familiarize myself with this region.
[12.07.2014 23:21:30] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: From what I could gather, the police officer has a degree of truth.
[12.07.2014 23:21:50] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Captain of the Naginata - knowing your name would please me - are you telling me that I essentially have to take off my
[12.07.2014 23:21:56] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: uniform in order to visit your space?
[12.07.2014 23:22:03] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I would call that nitpicking, yes.
[12.07.2014 23:22:06] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: While we do not immediately refuse GRN entrance, we require that any visits be announced previously.
[12.07.2014 23:22:09] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I am Maurice Cornett, with or without uniform.
[12.07.2014 23:22:26] RKS|-Naginata: I am Akira Sugimori. And yes, taking off your "metaphorical uniform" is required.
[12.07.2014 23:23:01] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Cornett-san, did you announced and requested entrace to Kusari territory before you were found by the police officer?
[12.07.2014 23:23:20] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Hrm. Very well. I suppose I should have said this earlier, however, but I initially entered Kusari sovereign space
[12.07.2014 23:23:21] KTA|CV-Inoshikacho[$82] exited jumpgate at New Tokyo G-4
[12.07.2014 23:23:22] KTA|Hamayaki.Toketsu[$73] exited jumpgate at New Tokyo G-4
[12.07.2014 23:23:30] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: in pursuit of one of your..
[12.07.2014 23:23:32] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Exiled pilots.
[12.07.2014 23:23:35] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Or whatever they call themselves.
[12.07.2014 23:23:45] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Hmmm, that is most interesting.
[12.07.2014 23:23:53] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I lost visual in Kyushu, and went here shortly afterwards.
[12.07.2014 23:23:55] RKS|-Naginata: And somehow you ended up at Shinagawa? That is an excellent story.
[12.07.2014 23:23:57] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Could you provide more details about that chase?
[12.07.2014 23:24:22] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Are you calling me a liar, Sugimori?
[12.07.2014 23:24:29] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Enomoto: Greetings KTA vessels.
[12.07.2014 23:24:32] RKS|-Naginata: I may add that before you arrived, this Gallic pilot has been nothing but disrespectful and arrogant towards the Republic-
[12.07.2014 23:24:34] RKS|-Naginata: and myself.
[12.07.2014 23:24:38] KTA|CV-Inoshikacho: Hello there, KNF.
[12.07.2014 23:24:44] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I ran into the Exile not far away from Java Station in the Tau-23 system.
[12.07.2014 23:25:03] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Hmmm, and then what happened?
[12.07.2014 23:25:32] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I noticed the pilot headed for the Kyushu jumphole, and then lost them entirely as I approached it.
[12.07.2014 23:25:41] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Of course, I assumed they had jumped through, so I did the same.
[12.07.2014 23:26:01] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: I see. Did you find him in Kyushu?
[12.07.2014 23:26:15] GMG|GTS-Makarov[$77] exited jumpgate at Honshu G-3
[12.07.2014 23:26:26] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I do believe I caught a glimpse of their ship, but I lost it before I could get a heading.
[12.07.2014 23:26:50] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: As such, I chose to approach and enter the nearest node in your lane network in Kyushu.
[12.07.2014 23:26:51] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: What was the ship's designation? It's name atleast.
[12.07.2014 23:26:56] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: And here I am, with not an Exile in sight.
[12.07.2014 23:27:42] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Is this what he told before?
[12.07.2014 23:27:51] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Holly Tsukino, I believe. I'm not confident I got the last name right.
[12.07.2014 23:27:52] RKS|-Naginata: Even if your story of pursuing an Exile is true, what made you enter our capital system?
[12.07.2014 23:28:04] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Or frankly that it was their true name. After all, the ship could be broadcasting a fake alias.
[12.07.2014 23:28:34] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Hmmm, we might have records of such pilot. Cannot confirm right now.
[12.07.2014 23:28:40] RKS|-Naginata: He said nothing of the sort. Before you arrived, his tone was different. He suggested the position of Gallia somehow meant-
[12.07.2014 23:28:50] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I merely followed the lanes, hoping to catch find the pilot I was chasing. Clearly, they didn't go here.
[12.07.2014 23:28:58] RKS|-Naginata: we were "beneath" pursuing the law against him.
[12.07.2014 23:29:17] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: And did you try to contact the police officers to aid in your search?
[12.07.2014 23:29:29] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: I didn't receive anything.
[12.07.2014 23:29:32] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: If I knew how to, I would've.
[12.07.2014 23:29:41] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I'm not familiar with your long-range broadcasting protocols or callsigns, however.
[12.07.2014 23:29:45] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: So it's not exactly trivial to do so.
[12.07.2014 23:29:48] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: I see.
[12.07.2014 23:29:58] RKS|-Naginata: That is what we are here for. If there are criminal or terrorist elements in our space, the Republic's police and naval forces-
[12.07.2014 23:30:03] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: When was the first time you noticed his presence?
[12.07.2014 23:30:04] RKS|-Naginata: will take care of it.
[12.07.2014 23:30:13] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: When he came up on shipboard scanners.
[12.07.2014 23:30:22] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: So close range only?
[12.07.2014 23:30:24] RKS|-Naginata: He approached me right here, at Shinagawa.
[12.07.2014 23:30:32] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: Hai. Shigimori-san and I were both busy dealing with another matter at the time.
[12.07.2014 23:30:33] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I understand. I hope you also understand that for a pilot like myself, it is difficult to admit that I failed to intercept
[12.07.2014 23:30:39] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: and take down an enemy of the Crown.
[12.07.2014 23:30:45] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: And even worse to have to report this failure to my superiors.
[12.07.2014 23:30:49] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: Neither of us were monitoring the remote sensor network.
[12.07.2014 23:31:13] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Enomoto: Cornett-san, I commend your efforts in chasing our common enemies of the state.
[12.07.2014 23:31:44] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: However it is wise to not breach protocols, and to request aid to our forces when required.
[12.07.2014 23:32:04] RKS|-Naginata: The Republic considers the exiled forces enemies even more than you do. If you do spot one of them near or in our space-
[12.07.2014 23:32:11] RKS|-Naginata: we will be there to intercept them.
[12.07.2014 23:32:17] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I understand, and I apologize. My only excuse is that adrenaline was pumping through my veins, and that perhaps
[12.07.2014 23:32:19] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: clouded my judgment.
[12.07.2014 23:32:27] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: I do not believe the Gallic Navy has any policy to chase targets to the Sigmas without atleast a word beeing sent our way.
[12.07.2014 23:32:48] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: I don't believe they have any policy here related to the Sigmas or otherwise.
[12.07.2014 23:32:54] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: Or that they -should-, for that matter.
[12.07.2014 23:33:03] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: And I believe that you're correct, officer.
[12.07.2014 23:33:10] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Even events occurring near Kyushu or sections of Tau-29 should be reported to us whenever possible.
[12.07.2014 23:34:01] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Now, is there any other matter you wish to discuss, Cornett-san?
[12.07.2014 23:34:25] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Negative, captain.
[12.07.2014 23:34:39] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: I need to release the fine police officers back to their duties.
[12.07.2014 23:34:41] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I will see to it that I contact your officers in the future, instead of this.. foolish blind chase.
[12.07.2014 23:34:44] RKS|-Naginata: Very well. I'm sure one of us can escort you out of Kusari space, then.
[12.07.2014 23:34:59] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I can find my way out, but if you insist on escorting me, then I will not refuse.
[12.07.2014 23:34:59] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: You don't need to 'release' us anywhere, captain.
[12.07.2014 23:35:14] RKS|-Naginata: Konbanwa, Hakutaku.
[12.07.2014 23:35:19] [KNF]'Hakutaku': Konbanwa.
[12.07.2014 23:35:19] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: We of the KNF will see to his safe return. Your duties rely to the issues within.
[12.07.2014 23:35:32] [KNF]'Hakutaku': Could someone tell me what happened.
[12.07.2014 23:35:33] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Good evening agent.
[12.07.2014 23:35:37] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: You're not part of my command umbrella, captain. Or so I believe.
[12.07.2014 23:35:49] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: The Territorial Police has already brought up this issue with the Gendarmes.
[12.07.2014 23:36:49] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: I meant no disrespect, officer. However I believe that the RKS does not need to be burdened with the return of the Gallic -
[12.07.2014 23:36:52] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: officer.
[12.07.2014 23:37:18] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: Unless he desires the RKS to see to the end of the stay in Kusari, that is.
[12.07.2014 23:37:34] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: I don't think the Gallic's desires enter into this either.
[12.07.2014 23:37:44] RKS|-Naginata: It is an internal matter, is it not? Escorting ships within Kusari is normally police business.
[12.07.2014 23:37:51] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: GRN officer was found near Shinagawa,by the police. Said he was chasing an Exile he lost sight in Kyushu.
[12.07.2014 23:38:36] [KNF]'Hakutaku': And he thought it was a good idea to go to New Tokyo?
[12.07.2014 23:38:38] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: While I disagree, I shall not oppose your will on this. Do as you see fit.
[12.07.2014 23:38:40] [KNF]'Hakutaku': Oh well...
[12.07.2014 23:38:44] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: Apparently.
[12.07.2014 23:38:57] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: Shigimori-san reports that he was unerringly arrogant and unrepentant before more of us arrived.
[12.07.2014 23:38:57] RKS|-Naginata: *snorts* I won't even comment.
[12.07.2014 23:39:10] RKS|-Izumi.Ishikawa: His tone has apparently changed.
[12.07.2014 23:39:11] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: We will observe his return, as part of our duty.
[12.07.2014 23:40:18] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I don't mean to interrupt, but I too have to return to my patrols.
[12.07.2014 23:40:28] RKS|-Naginata: Alright. Let us just finish this. Cornett, do you wish to return to the Taus, or to Lyonnais?
[12.07.2014 23:40:45] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: My place is at the front lines, officer.
[12.07.2014 23:41:05] RKS|-Naginata: Very well. Please follow me then, I will take you to the Tau-23 jump hole.
[12.07.2014 23:41:06] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: The Tau Systems then.
[12.07.2014 23:41:28] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: I'm right behind you, officer.
[12.07.2014 23:45:47] [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki: We got delayed by other matters. How's the progress to the border?
[12.07.2014 23:46:04] RKS|-Naginata: No issues. We're approaching the hole now.
[12.07.2014 23:46:50] RKS|-Naginata: Safe travels, Cornett.
[12.07.2014 23:47:16] GRN|Maurice'Cornett: Thank you, officer. The same to you.
Please note that some of the above messages were on private channels among Kusari forces.
Overall, while the most common foreign military ships are Libertonian, apparently others will not hesitate either. I cannot really comment on policy here, but the sheer amount in one relatively short period of time is a bit worrying.
