New Entry, 28 Jan. 823 A.S.

Yesterday, with what is left of the original crew we left Hiroshima with our new vessel, the Ashikaga class gunboat KPT-Yougekiki.50.
It didn't take long for problems to show up.

As we arrived in New Tokyo from Hiroshima, our scanners indicated the presence of enemy signatures in the area. We figured out what it was pretty quickly as our equipment was unable to get a reading on it: it was a Nomad. However the small craft only led us to a bigger fish.

On our way, we encountered a Naval Forces patrol led by the [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima and [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki. We decided to join our forces and it proved to be a good call. The Nomad entity led us to an Order warship bearing the callsign Order|CV-Sanity. Although uncooperative at first, once surrounded by our forces the commander of the Order vessel became quite a talkative one and I very much would have appreciated interrogating him.

Alas, nothing went as expected. As we were about to escort the vessel to a more secure location, we received a distress call from an IMG Convoy. Outcasts forces had entered the Kyushu system and we had no choice but to let the warship go in order to secure this important trade link between Kusari and the Taus. As we arrived on scene, we encountered three pirate vessels, and one of them was a well known troublemaker in our registries.

Tutashkhia. He came with one of his known associates, Richard-Fernandes, but also with a new gunboat lackey callsign Kuchenratte~*~Goldanne. An ALG trade vessel was being bullied by these men and thankfully our swift answer has allowed us to save the ship and its crew without severe damage, but some of the escorts were shot down and their pods rescued.

Death: Tutashkhia was put out of action by IMG|Java.Two (Gun).

Death: IMG|Naughty.Tea.Sipper was put out of action by Richard-Fernandes (Gun).

Death: IMG|Hit.Rock.Bottom[R] was put out of action by Kuchenratte~*~Goldanne (Gun).

As the hostiles realised they were being overwhelmed, they set course for the Tau-23 system and the battle continued there. I would not have liked to be them as shortly after our entry in the system there were IMG forces all over the place.

One of the Outcast ships seemed very adamant on destroying us but failed as expected. One of them also proved to be honorless, although that as well was expected.

Death: HDO-Catalyst was put out of action by KPT-Yougekiki.50 (Gun).

Death: IMG|Naughty.Tea.Sipper was put out of action by Richard-Fernandes (Gun).

Death: IMG|Hit.Rock.Bottom[R] was put out of action by Kuchenratte~*~Goldanne (Gun).

Traffic control alert: Kuchenratte~*~Goldanne has requested to dock

We then returned to Kusari space, only to encounter yet another warship in the Kyushu system, a Blood Dragon one this time, callsign Saito.Dosan. As it was a cruiser, we decided to let the Naval Forces handle it and returned to Hiroshima.

For our first day back in Kusari, it was pretty eventful. For an unknown reason I am unable to submit my reports through the previous protocols and HQ is still unresponsive to our transmissions. I will store these reports in my personal terminal for the time being.
