Konnichiwa, Katsuo Shimoe here.

Yesterday I set out from my last resting spot on the Myoko and headed north to make an inspection on a new installation on the Kyushu system.
On the way, I met [KNF]Nk.Shouzou.Yamada , which was investigating reports of Blood Dragons in the New Tokyo system. We set out to find the suspects, but could not trace their whereabouts.

Proceeding to Kyushu, we arrived at the Nebula Complex without any troubles along the way. The station stands fittingly within the Seiran Cloud, so the security hazards are high.



Upon inspecting the facilities, one of the merchants was exhibiting an most unusual artifact, quite different from the ones I've seen for sale on the markets. As I am not an expert on the matter, I intend to dispatch a team to go evaluate the artifact, and confiscate it if deemed dangerous.



Also, some sort of production facility is operating in the Complex. There needs to be some inquiries regarding this new productions.



Upon investigating the station neural net terminals, where more information is provided, I found this amongst the station exports:

• Light Cloak Device (150,000,000$)
  
• Cloak MkII Device (330,000,000$)
  
• Cloak MkII Advanced (480,000,000$)

We should keep a watchful eye on this activities, and probably ask the ministry to move a judicial order against the business, according with the current trade regulations of the Kusari Law Codex.

Another event occurred when we were returning to New Tokyo. On arrival on Planet Kyushu, a trader coming from the New Tokyo jumpgate reported a Blood Dragon vessel on the vicinity. Yamada-san went ahead to investigate, while I stood waiting and restricting passage for traders into the marked zone.
Yamada soon reported a Dragon Cruiser, designation Marayeth , effectively interdicting transports on the gate.




After some talk about our opposing views, and some transports that passed trough his grasp, he decided to focus his attention on us.
As it was obvious that our fighter wing wouldn't dent his hide, we decided for me to pin him down and keep his attention, while Yamada pulled back to request reinforcements.



The plan worked, and soon the [KNF]KDS-Zanza|66th battle-cruiser arrived to the scene, being immediately targeted by the Marayeth.



An engagement between the two cruisers began, with the Marayeth taking an evasive stance and heading out to the fields south. The Zanza kept its pace, and gradually worn down the Marayeth with our support.



The Marayeth was taken down, and with our appreciation to the Zanza, we returned to our base in the Matsumoto, ending our patrol for the day.



We recovered some ammo crates and countermeasures of odd design from the wreckage, which we sent for analysis back in the labs.

This is Katsuo Shimoe, signing off.
