Greetings all. As Chang, aided by Le Gérant and Ms. Dunne, was performing a lockdown of California, I attempted a lockdown of Shikoku alongside Mr. Yoshida and Nick Nack. The plan was effective, yet flawed. The concept was to stop all passage to and from Kusari proper, while ignoring Deshima Station and Fuchu Prison.

Mr. Yoshida positioned his ship at #1, while I surveyed the lane at #2 and Nick Nack was standing by in the Saiun Cloud at #3 within striking range of the lanes and scanning range of the Kyushu jumphole. Our rendezvous-point was the Keiun Cloud - Morioka Base and the Galileo jumphole. We soon caught our first trader, but he responded to demands with simple-minded insults and procrastinated until a [KNF]-officer arrived. Nick Nack and Mr. Yoshida put the trader out of his misery while I was locked in a duel with the officer. When a Bounty Hunter gunboat and another [KNF]-officer arrived, we dispersed - I however was unable to disengage and ultimately did terminate the Naval officer, before having my own ship disabled. Mr. Yoshida had already docked at The Golden Dragon Casino, and my pod was quickly located and retrieved.

Conclusion: While less effective, a lockdown of the lower part of Shikoku is much safer. The Keiun Cloud provides a blanket of security and an effective escape route out of Kusari jurisdiction, and there is simply too much space to traverse from the New Tokyo jumphole. Although the lockdown failed, I at least scored the final kill to prove my 'Deadliness'.

Flight Log #4

[02.10.2016 13:49:05] LH~Mactan.Interdictor: Good. We are now yours to command Mr Zorin. I would recommend Shikoku or the northern Ind Worlds for us to operate.
[02.10.2016 13:49:34] LH~Max.Zorin: Alright, gentlemen. Should we lock down Colorado while the other team takes care of California?
[02.10.2016 13:49:50] LH~Max.Zorin: Alright, Shikoku it is
[02.10.2016 13:49:54] LH~Cochrane.Interdictor: I would recomend Shikoku.

[02.10.2016 14:22:58] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Nack: Another one?
[02.10.2016 14:23:07] Mr.Yoshida^: Yes and they called the Bounty Hunters Guild too
[02.10.2016 14:23:12] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Oh. Another one.
[02.10.2016 14:23:14] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: And a Hunter gunboat.
[02.10.2016 14:23:30] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Two actually.
[02.10.2016 14:23:36] Mr.Yoshida^: KNF is nothing like its former past.
[02.10.2016 14:23:47] LH~Max.Zorin: Maybe its time to run
[02.10.2016 14:23:47] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: What are you sour suggestion?
[02.10.2016 14:23:51] Mr.Yoshida^: Now they rely heavily on foreign mercenaries
[02.10.2016 14:24:02] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Understandable.
[02.10.2016 14:24:13] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: They are nothing
[02.10.2016 14:24:20] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: more but Gallig puppets.
[02.10.2016 14:24:21] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: I think you need to work on your understanding on the term "rely heavily".
[02.10.2016 14:24:25] [KNF]Sk.Yuji.Kobayakawa: Well, Ryuzoji. Let's boot them out.
[02.10.2016 14:24:37] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Hai.
[02.10.2016 14:24:51] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: Should we retreat?
[02.10.2016 14:24:56] LH~Max.Zorin: Yes
[02.10.2016 14:24:58] Mr.Yoshida^: Yes we cannot take down their fighters.
[02.10.2016 14:25:08] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Oh. Well, they're running away already.
[02.10.2016 14:25:17] LH~Leiden.Interdictor: I'm safe.
[02.10.2016 14:25:18] [KNF]Sk.Yuji.Kobayakawa: As expected.
[02.10.2016 14:25:31] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: All they're good at is blabbering with no action.
[02.10.2016 14:26:02] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: You need help with that one, Kobayakawa-san?
[02.10.2016 14:26:16] [KNF]Sk.Yuji.Kobayakawa: Well, it's a duel.
[02.10.2016 14:26:19] [KNF]Sk.Yuji.Kobayakawa: Try to get Yoshida.
[02.10.2016 14:26:24] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Hai.
[02.10.2016 14:26:45] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Yooo-shida-san!
[02.10.2016 14:26:59] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Rude.
[02.10.2016 14:30:59] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: I think his tomodachi abandoned him.
[02.10.2016 14:32:23] Mr.Yoshida^: I am at Golden Dragon Casino, if I could do something to help you out, let me know.
[02.10.2016 14:46:51] Death: [KNF]Sk.Yuji.Kobayakawa was put out of action by LH~Max.Zorin (Gun).
[02.10.2016 14:47:08] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: I'm afraid I can't let you go.
[02.10.2016 14:47:16] LH~Max.Zorin: Hold up a second...
[02.10.2016 14:47:29] LH~Max.Zorin: I mean...
[02.10.2016 14:47:45] LH~Max.Zorin: You saw me work hard out there... I was just defending myself
[02.10.2016 14:47:56] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: You know what?
[02.10.2016 14:47:58] LH~Max.Zorin: You got what you wanted, we're out of Shikoku
[02.10.2016 14:48:10] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: I sympathize with you, but that's not going to stop me from shooting you.
[02.10.2016 14:48:12] LH~Max.Zorin: You can see me to the door if you want
[02.10.2016 14:48:25] LH~Max.Zorin: Mhm, thought as much
[02.10.2016 14:48:30] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Afterall, you just shot down my superior right in front of me.
[02.10.2016 14:48:45] LH~Max.Zorin: Well, it wasn't my fault!
[02.10.2016 14:48:49] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: I'm quite sure that wouldn't go well on my report.
[02.10.2016 14:48:51] LH~Max.Zorin: He attacked me
[02.10.2016 14:49:02] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: The reasons are irrelevant.
[02.10.2016 14:49:26] [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji: Shinde!
[02.10.2016 14:50:35] Death: LH~Max.Zorin was put out of action by [KNF]Ii.Mutsu.Ryuzoji (Gun).
