Subject: Piracy and the LSF

This is Misaki reporting.

I found a strange sight in Shikoku: An LSF signature in a Bretonian gunboat. Before this, I encountered a Maltese pilot, possibly recently departed from Kinkaku-ji. Lately Maltese activity on the Shrine base has increased. Sadly a navy gunboat got me and I needed to return for emergency repairs

LSF Gunboat

[03.02.2020 00:17:31] -|-Alana.Leoz: Hola, GC.
[03.02.2020 00:17:53] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Konbanwa
[03.02.2020 00:18:10] -|-Alana.Leoz: You've got an infestation.
[03.02.2020 00:18:28] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I got pesticide
[03.02.2020 00:18:54] -|-Alana.Leoz: I can see that.
[03.02.2020 00:21:43] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Good evening ladies.
[03.02.2020 00:21:55] -|-Alana.Leoz: I wasn't expecting that.
[03.02.2020 00:22:04] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Liberty... you are far from... Liberty
[03.02.2020 00:22:15] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: I'm just on vacation. It seems Kusari decided Liberty is a good vacation spot as well.
[03.02.2020 00:22:34] -|-Alana.Leoz: Huh.
[03.02.2020 00:22:43] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Imaine going on vacation with a warship
[03.02.2020 00:22:55] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: It's a luxury yacht.
[03.02.2020 00:23:06] -|-Alana.Leoz: Its Bretonian. There's nothing luxury about that ship.
[03.02.2020 00:23:12] -|-Alana.Leoz: Except perhaps the tea-making facilities.
[03.02.2020 00:23:20] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: I beg to differ.
[03.02.2020 00:23:25] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: This bloody cannon.
[03.02.2020 00:23:26] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I got long range scanner. It shows a gunboat class
[03.02.2020 00:24:59] -|-Alana.Leoz: Looks like you've got company
[03.02.2020 00:27:35] Death: GC-Yunoki.Misaki suffered a self-administered loadout error (Missile/Torpedo).

I managed to pirate a group of 3 large transports full of Niobium ore. They all paid 6 million credits each, which I split with Sister Miki and a Maltese pilot called Jose Ortega. There was also a freelancer with the callsign 'Siren' The captain promised to bring me cardamine, but thus far hasn't returned.

Here is the log of the piracy encounter.

[03.02.2020 01:05:54] -|-Jose.Ortega: 10 each is reasonable.

Sister Miki went to scout ahead towards Kepler. After a while and she hadn't returned, I followed her. There I found the LSF gunboat I encountered earlier in Shikoku. It seems like there are hostilities brewing between Liberty and the Corrupted Kusarian Government. We shall see what happens and take our advantage from it.

LSF Gunboat Part 2

[03.02.2020 01:38:58] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Ah, another Chrysanthemum.
[03.02.2020 01:39:22] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: I hope you didn't mind the intrusion, it was intended towards the current reigning government.
[03.02.2020 01:39:23] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Hai, there are more of us
[03.02.2020 01:39:52] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: They have a habit of intruding despite our warnings both on the neural net and in local communications.
[03.02.2020 01:39:58] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: So, I paid them a visit.
[03.02.2020 01:40:01] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: How come the sudden interest in the... oh
[03.02.2020 01:40:20] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: The next warning will be us burning down Shikoku until they get the message.
[03.02.2020 01:40:24] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Intrustion is one of their many flaws
[03.02.2020 01:40:27] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: It happened once, it will happen again.
[03.02.2020 01:41:23] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: As long as you won't let our sisters get caught up as collateral damage
[03.02.2020 01:41:32] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: I've no ill will towards your sisterhood.
[03.02.2020 01:41:52] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: In Liberty, us women are as equal as the men, and often times better in some ways.
[03.02.2020 01:42:06] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: While your affiliation might make travel difficult, swing by in a neutral vessel sometime.
[03.02.2020 01:42:15] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Everyone's treated equally poorly. [chuckles]
[03.02.2020 01:42:22] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: We don't mind if some Kusari navy warships end up as scrap. It makes our life easier
[03.02.2020 01:42:43] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: If you happen to be in the area when things pop of, the Liberty Security Force would welcome the support.
[03.02.2020 01:43:17] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: We shall see what happens.
[03.02.2020 01:43:49] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: And as long as any trouble you cause isn't in Liberty, we've no ill will towards your cause.
[03.02.2020 01:44:59] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Well, we must be off.
[03.02.2020 01:45:07] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Need to keep the peace in Liberty still.
[03.02.2020 01:45:20] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Yes, I only came to see what Miki was doing
[03.02.2020 01:45:28] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Also discussing with myself, and a few Navy pilots.
[03.02.2020 01:45:31] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: She told us you were here
[03.02.2020 01:45:32] =LSF=Fairford: CIC: Do be safe.
[03.02.2020 01:45:46] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Sayonara
[03.02.2020 01:48:41] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Found you
[03.02.2020 01:48:46] GC-Ide,Miki: You did.
[03.02.2020 01:48:51] GC-Ide,Miki: I wasn't hiding!
[03.02.2020 01:49:03] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Encountered an LSF gunboat in Kepler
[03.02.2020 01:49:35] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Seems like the Kusari government made themselves some new enemies
[03.02.2020 01:49:39] GC-Ide,Miki: Mmhm. I met them too.
[03.02.2020 01:50:10] GC-Ide,Miki: You think it'll amount to anything?
[03.02.2020 01:50:15] GC-Ide,Miki: Sounded like sabre-rattling to me.
[03.02.2020 01:50:45] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I doubt it.
[03.02.2020 01:51:05] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: but if they do, the first priority is the secure our own interests
[03.02.2020 01:51:38] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Can't have us get caught up in a naval crossfire
[03.02.2020 01:51:55] GC-Ide,Miki: Definitely not. Let them shoot each other and we'll pick off the stragglers, right?
[03.02.2020 01:52:02] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Exactly
[03.02.2020 01:53:09] GC-Ide,Miki: This cloud is grim. Heading back.
[03.02.2020 01:54:16] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: I really want some sake at the bar
[03.02.2020 01:54:28] GC-Ide,Miki: You and me both!
[03.02.2020 01:54:32] 2020-02-03 01:52:02 SMT Traffic control alert: GC-Yunoki.Misaki has requested to dock
[03.02.2020 01:54:33] 2020-02-03 01:52:04 SMT Traffic control alert: GC-Ide,Miki has requested to dock
[03.02.2020 01:54:37] GC-Yunoki.Misaki: Meet you there!
