Kon'banwa,
Today I did a morning patrol in Kyushu, not interesting was happening so I went on to do some minor assignments from the Nagumo. In the middle of my assignment a trader contacted me through a private communication channel, he said there was a pirate in the New Tokyo system near the Kyushu Jumpgate. I proceeded with haste to the location. I discovered a DSE Tanker and a Farmers Alliance Mamoru bomber, the Farmer soon shot down the trader's shields and launched an anti-matter charge onto the Tanker... Sadly I couldn't do anything to stop him, he acted too fast for me to do anything...
I engaged the Farmer and he started to flee, he jumped to Kyushu and was on his direction to Kagoshima Depot, I was delivering my blows onto him while he was running and luckily I destroyed his ship, a second late and he would've docked on the installation.
About five kilometers away there was a Golden Chrysanthemum Akegata, I pursued it and found out that it was full of Black Market Munitions. I told it to cut its engines but she refused, I fired off some warning shots towards the Akegata but she ignored and soon after started to fire on me.
We engaged in an extremely tough conflict, those Dulzians turrets sure are painful, but luckily my Raijin has the hull to endure the beating I received, can't say the same if I flew a Chimaera. Later in the battle I found myself with a range advantage, being a few hundred meters away from the Akegata's rear I could shoot my Purple Goddesses while the Dulzians couldn't reach me. I tried to give it a chance to surrender but it didn't respond, so I destroyed the Akegata. I noticed the Black Market Munitions floating in space and disposed of them.
I ended my patrol and went to the Nagumo to get off duty.
