Rendezvoused with Chrysanthemum Gunboat 'Kogarashi', jointly proceeded to intercept Keiretsu within Kyushu.
Gained further intelligence on base : 'Hoshizora Travel Company' - Core two (2), single basic defence platform, base likely shielded.
03:07 KST - Joined by Dragon Shizumo
03:23 KST - Received a long range communication from the Dragon's Claw Network, Volgograd Industrial vessels within Chugoku.
Jintsu and Shizumo withdrew to Chugoku. GC vessel 'Kogarashi' offered to assist. - Temporary clearance granted to Chugoku in the effort of mutual assistance.
Communication logs with the Coalition are attached.
[18.08.2019 03:31:07]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Volgograd Industrial vessels, we have you on the Dragon's Claw. Aisatsu no Chugoku." [18.08.2019 03:33:11]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Privyet, heard a loud broadcast coming with your transmission. [18.08.2019 03:34:08]<BD|N.Jintsu>?: "This is Yoshida of the Nakai Clan picket-vessel Jintsu. - We have been sent to escort you within Dragon space." [18.08.2019 03:34:58]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Good Good. We are taking some ore to head to Champagne from now, and find resources to trade back to Osihi [18.08.2019 03:35:06]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: We are here in accordance to our contract with Nakai. [18.08.2019 03:35:39]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Hai. We shall fly with you as far as Gallia." [18.08.2019 03:37:01]<BD|N.Shizumo>Konbanwa, honored comrades. [18.08.2019 03:37:17]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Ah, Yes Greetings Komrades. [18.08.2019 03:37:31]<GC-Kogarashi>Emiko: Privyet in your language [18.08.2019 03:37:43]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Privyet. So this is the escort group thus far comrades? [18.08.2019 03:38:07]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Hai. - The Chrysanthemum is an exception to the rule in this case. Our dear ally offered to assist." [18.08.2019 03:38:40]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Is that right? What a twist..given past interactions . But time is of the essence for Nakai.. [18.08.2019 03:38:55]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: We will be taking some ore to Champagne, from there we will grab some resources back, how far can you all escort us? [18.08.2019 03:39:25]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "I am authorised to travel as far as Gallia. - I myself would desire to take you the whole way however." [18.08.2019 03:39:48]<GC-Kogarashi>Emiko: I support my Dragon allies. [18.08.2019 03:39:53]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Very well Companeros, let us head on out. [18.08.2019 03:39:57]<BD|N.Shizumo>Hai.
[18.08.2019 03:40:42]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: So comrades, how has it been in Kusari? it has been quite some time since we stopped by. [18.08.2019 03:41:06]<BD|N.Shizumo>It is as tumultuous and fluid as the seas of Junyo, my friends. [18.08.2019 03:41:22]<BD|N.Shizumo>Corporate dogs oppose us at every turn... this bloated government makes one mistake after the other. [18.08.2019 03:41:23]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "He means to say, it's a work in progress." [18.08.2019 03:42:08]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: The damned Kusari government keeps its exploitation in constant motion. One day we shall aid you in it's [18.08.2019 03:42:18]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Permanent change. For now we shall support your growth where we can [18.08.2019 03:42:34]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: But how are the clans doing comrades? [18.08.2019 03:43:16]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Nakai Clan stands above the rest at this time. We are united in the single goal of liberating this system thus far." [18.08.2019 03:43:24]<BD|N.Shizumo>Nakai Clan is strong. We may be few in number but we have been striking critical blows at our numerous enemies. [18.08.2019 03:43:57]<BD|N.Shizumo>Corporate shipping has learned to fear Nakai clan, and we have been amassing more resources to achieve our goal of liberating [18.08.2019 03:44:01]<BD|N.Shizumo>Planet Tomioka. [18.08.2019 03:45:18]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Good to see that endeavour is still going. We have not forgotten our historical past in assisting you all with that. [18.08.2019 03:45:44]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: I also plan to discuss with the Nakai Daimyo on adjusting some parts of our Treaty. [18.08.2019 03:45:56]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Hai? Is that so?" [18.08.2019 03:46:41]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: And I will admit, it is somewhat tilted in our favor. [18.08.2019 03:46:52]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: To keep that for you all, does make it a bit uneasy for me
I would note that we encountered a Gallic Battlegroup patrolling in Lorraine, it was at this time we lost contact with the GC vessel. Our convoy was then split in two, with myself escorting the Novorossiysk and Shizumo escorting the Solidaridad.
[18.08.2019 03:49:02]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Well Komrade, would you llike to continue on? [18.08.2019 03:49:14]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Or do you need to return? [18.08.2019 03:49:24]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "We are not brought up to give in a single hurdle." [18.08.2019 03:49:36]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>This was quite an unexpected turn of events. [18.08.2019 03:49:50]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Welcome to Gallia." [18.08.2019 03:50:09]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Not a very "warm" welcome i will say. [18.08.2019 03:50:38]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "If you say so." [18.08.2019 03:52:50]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Just how does your organisation brave such routes on a daily basis? - You're hated by many after all." [18.08.2019 03:53:36]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Well I guess after so many engagments it becomes second nature to us. [18.08.2019 03:54:19]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "I understand why many Dragons could come to respect you. - We both endure a great deal." [18.08.2019 03:55:31]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>I thank you for that, and yes both of us endure much from our enemies. [18.08.2019 03:56:03]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "I am curious however, is your very organisation not contradictory to your cause?" [18.08.2019 03:57:23]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>I must ask why do you think it is contradictory? [18.08.2019 03:57:54]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "I have studied ideology a great deal, it is one of the many reasons I desire to reform our own system." [18.08.2019 03:58:25]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Yours is one that finds 'trade' and profit abhorrant." [18.08.2019 04:00:07]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "I presume your organisation is a national entity correct? - A necessary evil?" [18.08.2019 04:00:56]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Well yes in a way we are found everywhere, and to some we can be considered a necessary evil. [18.08.2019 04:01:52]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Hai... hai. Interesting." [18.08.2019 04:01:57]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>Privyet. [18.08.2019 04:01:59]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>Comrades. [18.08.2019 04:02:10]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Oh Hello, Komrade. [18.08.2019 04:02:33]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Aisatsu. - Nakai Clan vessel Jintsu, providing escort as per our 'agreement'." [18.08.2019 04:03:40]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Yes and I am grateful for your service. [18.08.2019 04:04:25]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "I am very much intrigued by your ... comrade's ... point about modifying our agreement." [18.08.2019 04:05:38]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Yes, well the Minister has plans to modify it from its original to make it more balanced towards both parties [18.08.2019 04:06:13]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>As my komrade said, it is not as fair as it could be. [18.08.2019 04:06:24]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "As a Kusarian, ours is a history of exploitation, forgive me if I am surprised by the notion of 'fair'." [18.08.2019 04:09:22]<BD|N.Shizumo>Konbanwa, Jintsu. [18.08.2019 04:09:22]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Sorry for the delay comrades, stand by ! [18.08.2019 04:10:09]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>Natasha: The Minister of Plenty is aiming to update the Treaty so that the Dragons get their fair share. [18.08.2019 04:10:19]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Have you been informed of any more details on these agreement 'changes' Shizumo?" [18.08.2019 04:10:34]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>Natasha: If you want to know, I myself have information about what the treaty was originally supposed to contain. [18.08.2019 04:10:35]<BD|N.Shizumo>I have not. Our comrades aboard the Solidaridad and I have been discussing the future of Kusari [18.08.2019 04:10:53]<BD|N.Shizumo>the aims of our reformed Shogunate, and the state of affairs in other similarly-aligned groups. [18.08.2019 04:10:56]<BD|N.Shizumo>Diplomacy is tricky business. [18.08.2019 04:11:04]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Indeed it is." [18.08.2019 04:11:06]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>Natasha: Your help with allowing us to study your forward cannon was supposed to be... [18.08.2019 04:11:24]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>Mentioned and as a part of the success of Project Hurricane. [18.08.2019 04:11:36]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>You would've gotten access to that Ship Class. [18.08.2019 04:12:13]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>Natasha: But that was with Premier Ben Warner. [18.08.2019 04:12:15]<BD|N.Shizumo>I have only been a part of the Dragons, away from my home on the rice paddies of Kyushu for several months. Classified [18.08.2019 04:12:16]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>Former-Premier... [18.08.2019 04:12:24]<BD|N.Shizumo>relations from years past with your previous Premier are unknown to me. [18.08.2019 04:12:39]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>I see. [18.08.2019 04:12:51]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "I am aware of such things, however I lack the finer details." [18.08.2019 04:12:51]<BD|N.Shizumo>But in my time I have known the Coalition to be honorable, with populist aims I fully support. I trust our clans will come to [18.08.2019 04:12:55]<BD|N.Shizumo>fruitful new arrangements for us both. [18.08.2019 04:13:04]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>Da. [18.08.2019 04:13:31]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>And by the time I hope our Army also realizes the value of your support and our alliance. [18.08.2019 04:13:42]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Comrades, Sorry to interupt but I believe we have found a location to buy goods for your base, shall we get going? [18.08.2019 04:13:52]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Da sounds good comrade, where to? [18.08.2019 04:13:59]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Lorraine. [18.08.2019 04:14:17]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Suena bien, let's get going! [18.08.2019 04:16:32]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>So to address a question earlier about the Coalition 'house'. We will need to refocus our efforts given recent events.. [18.08.2019 04:16:48]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Yes I agree [18.08.2019 04:16:49]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "The same could be said for the Dragons." [18.08.2019 04:16:52]<BD|N.Shizumo>Ah, I was speaking about the Outcasts. They have been pushing to legitimize into a "Maltese". [18.08.2019 04:17:10]<BD|N.Shizumo>Given our complicated relations with them and the GC, I was interested in hearing the Coalition's take. [18.08.2019 04:17:48]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: The Red Triumvirate, the old Omega 'house' alliance has continued to exist but it has been getting weaker [18.08.2019 04:18:03]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Recent, questionable agreements with Bretonia has somewhat neutralized us to say bluntly. [18.08.2019 04:18:59]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: The old agenda of pushing for Sirian revolution for all and their allies. [18.08.2019 04:19:38]<BD|N.Shizumo>I see, yes. The Bretonian situation has opened so many vacuums. [18.08.2019 04:22:15]<BD|N.Shizumo>We aren't safe here, comrades!

[18.08.2019 04:29:03]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: I believe we are all accounted for [18.08.2019 04:29:15]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>I think we are missing one Komrade. [18.08.2019 04:29:28]<BD|N.Shizumo>You remind me of my comrade Hayashi. [18.08.2019 04:29:41]<*VI|CPS-Novorossiysk>Sadly his old ship has navigation problems [18.08.2019 04:29:42]<BD|N.Shizumo>Always with the sake, that one. I'm lucky to pull her away from the bar. [18.08.2019 04:29:59]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Si but we need to get going. Blood dragon comrades, are you also ready? [18.08.2019 04:30:41]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "Always." [18.08.2019 04:30:51]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Let's get going. [18.08.2019 04:31:33]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: We shall use the Jump hole, and then take a straight flight to Nagano [18.08.2019 04:31:39]<BD|N.Shizumo>Understood, comrades. [18.08.2019 04:32:39]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: By the way, I am Leon Gutierrez, a pleasure to meet you all. [18.08.2019 04:32:52]<BD|N.Shizumo>Well met. I am Davizu Shizumo of Nakai Clan.

[18.08.2019 04:33:47]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>Gutierrez: I will help pull strings or influence where I can, to ensure the Coalition goes back to more original plan
[18.08.2019 04:34:00]<MdG/-Argent-08.>Ahh bonjour there! [18.08.2019 04:34:14]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>Gutierrez: Revolution, the emancipation of all.

[18.08.2019 04:34:44]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>?: Comrade Dragons we will leave that pilot to you, Volgograd Do not waste time! [18.08.2019 04:34:44]<MdG/-Argent-08.>Now lets see what we have here [18.08.2019 04:34:57]<BD|N.Shizumo>What you have here doesn't concern you. [18.08.2019 04:35:12]<MdG/-Argent-08.>Have some firepower as well [18.08.2019 04:35:13]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "You fire a disruptor one more time and we shall retaliate."

[18.08.2019 04:36:25]<MdG/-Argent-08.>Now much I can do with that fat one but Shizumo on the other hand [18.08.2019 04:36:29]<MdG/-Argent-08.>You get back here [18.08.2019 04:36:49]<MdG/-Argent-08.>Very disappointing
The Jintsu engaged the Gallic Fighter, performing deterrence rather than intent to destroy. - Shizumo remained with the convoy to act as the next line should the Jintsu fail.
Friendly vessels succeeded in arriving into Nagano. The Jintsu acted in accordance to fire and fade doctrine, following behind the friendly vessels into Nagano.
[18.08.2019 04:37:51]<*VI|CPS-Solidaridad>Gutierrez: Comrade Blood Dragons do you hear us? [18.08.2019 04:38:07]<*VI|CPS-Rabotnik>Natasha: I can hear you.

[18.08.2019 04:39:15]<BD|N.Jintsu>Yoshida: "They decided we weren't the effort it seems. The Jintsu proved too much of a threat."
