Comm ID:Hattori Masanari Recipient: Kusari Naval Office Topic:Field Report
Konbanwa.
This report is likely to be a long one, so bare with me.
I firstly intercepted a Interspace Commerce IFF'd vessel in Shikoku, named Zefirka. The vessel at first did not respond to my hails and so I cut the trade lane it was about to use. I then performed a scan on the ship to find it was carrying sorted artifacts. Considered contraband if hauled by Interspace Commerce. The Vessel attempted to flee afterwards, failing to respond to comms I was forced to open fire. Here is the following audio-log of that situation.
[05.03.2020 18:54:04] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Kon'nichiwa
[05.03.2020 18:54:08] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Cut your engines!
[05.03.2020 18:54:53] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: I am going to perform a routine scan.
(The ship attempted to flee during this period)
[05.03.2020 18:55:51] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Halt!
[05.03.2020 18:56:44] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Fail to halt once more, and you will be fired upon.
[05.03.2020 18:57:36] Death: Zefirka was put out of action by [KNF]Masanari.Hattori (Mine).
Afterwards, while I was patrolling around the Battleship Myoko. I encountered a vessel with a strange IFF. They later revealed themselves as Kempeitai. I had no immediate way to confirm if they were or not, so I continued on as thought they were.
[05.03.2020 19:15:10] Gashadokuro|Aoi: Anyhow. Before I move on. Who have I had the pleasure of meeting?
[05.03.2020 19:15:33] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: My name is Hattori Masanari.
[05.03.2020 19:15:40] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: And you are?
[05.03.2020 19:16:22] Gashadokuro|Aoi: I'm afraid I'm not allowed to publicly share my name, not even with Navy personnel.
[05.03.2020 19:16:37] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: That is curious.
[05.03.2020 19:16:55] Gashadokuro|Aoi: You may, of course, know that I work with the Kempeitai.
Shortly after this, I encountered a Freelancer vessel flying a Hogosha fighter. I commanded them to stop while I checked the legality of this situation. I however was unable to find such a law and subsequently released them.
[05.03.2020 19:17:33] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Halt!
[05.03.2020 19:17:52] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Where did you get that vehicle?
[05.03.2020 19:18:21] "Yurushi": S: Obtained through the Hogosha, obviously.
[05.03.2020 19:18:38] "Yurushi": S: Why would its origin matter?
[05.03.2020 19:18:50] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: The Hogosha just gave a freelancer one of their fighters?
[05.03.2020 19:19:12] "Yurushi": S: Just a "Freelancer" might not be the correct description, but hai.
[05.03.2020 19:20:11] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Wait one moment.
[05.03.2020 19:20:28] "Yurushi": S: Fine by me.
[05.03.2020 19:22:08] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Apologies for the delay. I wont keep you further.
[05.03.2020 19:22:26] "Yurushi": S: Uh-huh.
This Freelancer later brought to my attention a law which does not exist, but claimed it did. They claimed that there was a law pertaining to vessels legally allowed to transport people, and this other freelancer transport was in violation of that law. Wishing to get to the bottom of the possible legal violation, I requested that the freelancer transport halts. They refused multiple demands to stop with silence, while giving chase I managed to consult Kusari Laws and discovered that the Freelancer was mistaken. However the other vessel still refused to reply or halt. I therefore attempted to fine the vessel for failing to comply with a Kusari State Law Enforcer, which it again ignored. The Kempeitai ship that was with me then open fired on the transport, dropping his shields. The transport still continued. The vessel failed to adhere to my warnings, and so was fired upon again.
[05.03.2020 19:22:51] "Yurushi": S: Apologizes this, Naval Forces.
[05.03.2020 19:23:10] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: What are you doing?
[05.03.2020 19:23:20] "Yurushi": S: But wasn't the Kusari Legal Codex stating something on unsuitable person transports?
[05.03.2020 19:23:47] "Yurushi": S: I am quite sure it did.
[05.03.2020 19:24:25] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Cut your engines!
[05.03.2020 19:24:50] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Stop, I do not mean you harm!
[05.03.2020 19:24:57] "Yurushi": S: Uh-huh. It's not a part of the Codex yet.
[05.03.2020 19:25:07] "Yurushi": S: Guess that's something to fill a complain about.
[05.03.2020 19:25:13] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: I would have liked to check myself!
[05.03.2020 19:25:15] "Yurushi": S: That was supposed to be adjusted years ago.
[05.03.2020 19:26:03] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Freelancer, you are making this more difficult that it ought to have been.
[05.03.2020 19:26:40] "Yurushi": *Mumbles something about reaching out to the Ministry to complain about lack of law updates*
[05.03.2020 19:27:17] "Yurushi": S: Hmh.
[05.03.2020 19:27:40] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Freelancer, you are not cooperating with a Kusari Naval official.
[05.03.2020 19:28:47] "Yurushi": S: Hm, given there's been an apparent.. ignorance from the responsible people, he's not breaking a law.
[05.03.2020 19:28:53] Gashadokuro|Aoi: I don't believe the captain realizes the danger his behavior represents to the 2,000 people aboard.
[05.03.2020 19:28:53] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Freelancer, you are being fined for failure to comply with a Kusari Naval official
[05.03.2020 19:29:14] "Yurushi": S: Guess refusal to halt for an interrogation is sure enough of an offence, same can be said about the transport conditions.
[05.03.2020 19:29:29] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Freelancer, you are currently violating Kusari Law. Do you understand?
[05.03.2020 19:29:58] Gashadokuro|Aoi: I don't believe they do.
[05.03.2020 19:30:12] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Freelancer, one more refusal to comply. And you will be fired upon.
[05.03.2020 19:30:38] Gashadokuro|Aoi: Allow me to try and get the message across. My superiors are more liberal with permission to engage.
[05.03.2020 19:31:05] Gashadokuro|Aoi: They don't seem to be getting the point.
[05.03.2020 19:31:08] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Freelancer, will you now comply?
[05.03.2020 19:31:20] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: This part is always a waste.
[05.03.2020 19:31:34] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: You will now be fired upon Freelancer.
[05.03.2020 19:31:42] Death: Karl_Fischer was put out of action by [KNF]Masanari.Hattori (Gun).
[05.03.2020 19:32:13] Gashadokuro|Aoi: Sometimes I wonder if people have lost their sense of self preservation.
[05.03.2020 19:32:34] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: *Over internal comm* This is Hattori, requesting rescue ship at sector E-2.
[05.03.2020 19:33:09] "Yurushi": S: Another.
[05.03.2020 19:33:31] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Thank you for the assist Kempetani
[05.03.2020 19:33:49] Gashadokuro|Aoi: Target practice is always welcome.
[05.03.2020 19:34:05] Gashadokuro|Aoi: Even if the target's big and slow.
I encountered once Enma Loyola along with, presumably a friend of theirs at Shinagawa Station. The one identified as Sanae later identified Enma Loyola as an Outcast. Under current Kusari Law, the Outcasts are to be arrested or executed on sight. I requested backup at this stage, as I would have potentially been out-numbered if I attempted a apprehension.
Shortly after requesting backup, I noticed the Kempeitai from early was approximately six-clicks from the station, I that they must have been here for longer than I had noticed them.
[05.03.2020 19:40:57] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Kon'nichiwa
[05.03.2020 19:41:00] Enma.Loyola: Well, I'd say it's better than Liberty on many regards.
[05.03.2020 19:41:02] Enma.Loyola: Hola.
[05.03.2020 19:41:06] Sanae.Miyasu: Calm in space, perhaps? For me, never.
[05.03.2020 19:41:09] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Hola?
[05.03.2020 19:41:12] Sanae.Miyasu: Well, Liberty is Liberty.
[05.03.2020 19:41:14] Enma.Loyola: Amigo.
[05.03.2020 19:41:18] Sanae.Miyasu: This doesn't change, does it?
[05.03.2020 19:41:39] Gashadokuro|Aoi: It's Hispanic, Hattori, I'm sure you've heard it before.
[05.03.2020 19:41:49] Sanae.Miyasu: That's an Outcast you have here, Naval Pilot.
[05.03.2020 19:41:55] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Yes, which is wh-...
[05.03.2020 19:42:00] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: I thought so.
[05.03.2020 19:42:04] Enma.Loyola: Well, last I remember, Sanae you had an affair with police chief in New York, Sanae.
[05.03.2020 19:42:04] Sanae.Miyasu: Public knowledge to all reading gossip pages on the neural-net.
[05.03.2020 19:42:33] Sanae.Miyasu: That's been quite a few years ago.
[05.03.2020 19:42:46] Enma.Loyola: Well, I think we haven't met for years then.
[05.03.2020 19:42:56] Sanae.Miyasu: Seems so. Not that I mind.
[05.03.2020 19:43:12] Enma.Loyola: Me neither.
[05.03.2020 19:43:35] Enma.Loyola: So you broke up with that Libertorian?
[05.03.2020 19:43:35] Sanae.Miyasu: But I recognize that Propulsion Engines. Still ties to her club?
[05.03.2020 19:43:47] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: ** Hattori seems remarkable absent from comms currently**

For the following, communications highlighted green on the transcript are to and from the Kempeitai. Highlights of purple indicated communication with Itto Kaii Seiho Isayama.
[05.03.2020 19:44:35] Sanae.Miyasu: So no more ties, hm?
[05.03.2020 19:44:40] Sanae.Miyasu: Is she even alive?
[05.03.2020 19:44:49] Enma.Loyola: We have talked recently, she is.
[05.03.2020 19:45:07] Enma.Loyola: I mean I don't work for her, she doesn't work for me and we don't operate closely.
[05.03.2020 19:45:19] Sanae.Miyasu: Silverstone sure lost his charm as reliable information source.. well, good to know, I guess.
[05.03.2020 19:45:20] Enma.Loyola: I guess there's uh... Some sort of cold neutrality. [05.03.2020 19:45:26] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Kempetani, I require your advice on the current situation.
[05.03.2020 19:45:39] Enma.Loyola: Silverstone is working for Rheinlanders now.
[05.03.2020 19:45:45] Enma.Loyola: The Union or something.
[05.03.2020 19:45:58] Sanae.Miyasu: Funnily enough out of necessarity.
[05.03.2020 19:46:04] Sanae.Miyasu: He told me. [05.03.2020 19:46:08] Gashadokuro|Aoi: I don't believe I can offer you much. I am unfamiliar with the pilot of the 'Talon.
[05.03.2020 19:46:21] Enma.Loyola: You did not tell me where are you working now. [05.03.2020 19:46:21] Gashadokuro|Aoi: Any information I may or may not have on the other one, I can't disclose.
[05.03.2020 19:46:38] Sanae.Miyasu: Ugh, I even met this Unioners leader once. Weird person. [05.03.2020 19:47:01] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: My greetings.
[05.03.2020 19:47:15] Enma.Loyola: I don't quite want to have anything with common when it comes to them. A rude and useless bunch. [05.03.2020 19:47:18] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: I assume there is a reason you have not apprehended this outcast?
[05.03.2020 19:47:25] Sanae.Miyasu: Look for yourself. Just check out the seats of higher importance throughout Kusari. [05.03.2020 19:47:37] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Greetings. I currently have a peculiar situation going on here.
[05.03.2020 19:47:51] Sanae.Miyasu: I can understand this, I sure as hell avoid them and this place they call home ever since.
[05.03.2020 19:47:52] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Konbanwa.
[05.03.2020 19:47:53] Enma.Loyola: Oh, so you made your way into the government or something?
[05.03.2020 19:48:00] Enma.Loyola: Good evening. [05.03.2020 19:48:03] Gashadokuro|Aoi: Is there any reason /you/ haven't? You've shown that you're capable of taking action.
[05.03.2020 19:48:08] Sanae.Miyasu: Perhaps. Konbanwa. [05.03.2020 19:48:33] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: From your lack of action, I deduced that there was a reason that the Keptetani had not taken action.
[05.03.2020 19:48:39] Enma.Loyola: And what about the marriage? [05.03.2020 19:48:56] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: The vessel named Gashadokuro identified themselves as Kempetani.
[05.03.2020 19:48:59] Sanae.Miyasu: There's no real need to share my private life, is there?
[05.03.2020 19:49:10] Sanae.Miyasu: Hey!
[05.03.2020 19:49:12] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Unkown identifier. What's going on with that?
[05.03.2020 19:49:14] Sanae.Miyasu: That Interspace guy is blunt. [05.03.2020 19:49:24] Gashadokuro|Aoi: When able, I'd rather leave minor matters like these in the Navy's capable hands.
[05.03.2020 19:49:26] Enma.Loyola: Well, if you don't want to share it.
[05.03.2020 19:49:28] Enma.Loyola: Then sure.
I had presumed that the lack of action from the Kempeitai was the result of some unknown agreement between them and the Outcast, however I was mistaken. The situation from then on got more complicated with another Interspace Commerce ship, carrying artifacts, bearing the same name as the one before came into the space near Shinagawa Station. The vessel attempted to bribe both KNF officers at the scene. However, given the developing situation and respecting the command structure of the Kusari Navy, I later followed the lead of Ikko Kaii Seiho Isayama.
[05.03.2020 19:49:44] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Interspace, You are again violating Kusari Law.
[05.03.2020 19:49:57] Enma.Loyola: I don't like artifacts too.
[05.03.2020 19:50:00] Death: <(o)>Trailblazer was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[05.03.2020 19:50:07] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Respond, Interspace.
[05.03.2020 19:50:09] Sanae.Miyasu: It's not about the Artifacts but who carries them.
[05.03.2020 19:50:18] Zefirka: Greetings
[05.03.2020 19:50:23] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: What's happening there?
[05.03.2020 19:50:26] Zefirka: What's wrong?
[05.03.2020 19:50:28] Enma.Loyola: Well, he better drop them.
[05.03.2020 19:50:37] Enma.Loyola: I think you should drop your cargo.
[05.03.2020 19:50:41] Zefirka: Why?
[05.03.2020 19:50:41] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: You are illegally carrying goods through Kusari space.
- - - - - - - - - -
[05.03.2020 19:50:52] Sanae.Miyasu: Leave this to them.
[05.03.2020 19:50:53] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Get your nose out of our business, civilian.
[05.03.2020 19:51:07] Enma.Loyola: That's personal.
[05.03.2020 19:51:13] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Only Kusari corporations may haul those goods.
[05.03.2020 19:51:24] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Interspace Commerce is not a Kusari corporation.
[05.03.2020 19:51:27] Sanae.Miyasu: Hmh. I'll be back in a few.
[05.03.2020 19:52:09] Enma.Loyola: Are you dropping cargo or not?
[05.03.2020 19:52:37] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: You giving me 10 millions credits will not suffice.
[05.03.2020 19:52:54] Zefirka: What about 20 millions ?
[05.03.2020 19:53:03] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: I suppose that is called a bribe and will only get you into deeper troubles.
[05.03.2020 19:53:27] Enma.Loyola: Well, if you take this, I will make sure that your admiralty will get to know.
- - - - - - - - - -
[05.03.2020 19:55:33] Enma.Loyola: You better comply.
[05.03.2020 19:55:48] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Can you stop involving yourself, civilian?
[05.03.2020 19:55:51] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: How rude.
[05.03.2020 19:56:01] Zefirka: What should I do?
[05.03.2020 19:56:05] "Fumeina.Ai": S: She's as much of a civilian as you are a Farmer.
[05.03.2020 19:56:07] Enma.Loyola: No I cannot, I don't like the artifacts.
[05.03.2020 19:56:07] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: You will need to drop the cargo.
[05.03.2020 19:56:08] "Fumeina.Ai": S: Just saying.
[05.03.2020 19:56:09] Zefirka: This cargo is important for me
[05.03.2020 19:56:19] Zefirka: Why don't you like artifacts?
[05.03.2020 19:56:32] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: You better say goodbye to the cargo.
[05.03.2020 19:56:37] Enma.Loyola: Their trade benefits people I don't like.
[05.03.2020 19:56:50] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: We will handle it.
[05.03.2020 19:56:51] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Either you drop it, or we force you.
( The vessel then managed to escape into Shikoku. )
I informed the Ikko Kaii once again about Enma Loyola, although at the time I was unsure if they were really an Outcast like I was informed by the Kempeitai. A notion Seiho Isayama voiced themself. A quick search of the Neural Net made it evident that they posture as one.
[05.03.2020 19:59:40] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: That one is quite fast for a transport, I must admit.
[05.03.2020 20:00:04] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Unexpected, for one that large.
[05.03.2020 20:01:10] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Outcast is on their way to you.
[05.03.2020 20:01:17] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Outcast?
[05.03.2020 20:01:24] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Enma Loyola.
[05.03.2020 20:01:34] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: That's an Outcast?
[05.03.2020 20:01:46] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: One of their companions said so.
[05.03.2020 20:02:14] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: They greeted me with 'Hola' as well, I was suspicious when they did so. But I needed to time confirm identity.
[05.03.2020 20:02:42] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: The Outcast and their friend headed back to New Tokyo.
[05.03.2020 20:02:53] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Outcast.. that's worrying.
[05.03.2020 20:03:06] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Though that is just an assumption.
[05.03.2020 20:03:23] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: The Kempetani did not attempt to detain them, I assumed there was a good reason.
We again encountered the Interspace Commerce ship, Ikko Kaii resolved themself to deal with that situation, while I personally saw to a civilian with a cloaking device. Who left Shikoku once, then returned.
They claimed to be a member of the Cabinet, and to have special permission from a Rear Admiral. They later removed the device from their vessel.
[05.03.2020 20:05:15] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: I belive one of those ships is carrying and illegal device.
[05.03.2020 20:05:21] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Which?
[05.03.2020 20:05:45] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: The one in the civilian eagle, carrying a light cloaking device.
[05.03.2020 20:06:08] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Ah.. they'll be out of the system by now.

Parts highlighted in the transcript in green is the finishing conversation between Seiho Isayama and Zefirka. Text in purple is personal comm between KNF Officers.
[05.03.2020 20:15:30] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Civilian, are you aware you are carrying illegal equipment on board of your ship?
[05.03.2020 20:15:37] "Fumeina.Ai": S: Specify.
[05.03.2020 20:16:37] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: You currently have mounted a cloaking device, of which is illegal in the Kusari State.
[05.03.2020 20:16:51] "Fumeina.Ai": S: I've had this discussion with the Rear Admiral already.
[05.03.2020 20:17:17] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: I find it hard to believe a rear admiral would be having a discussion with you.
[05.03.2020 20:17:26] "Fumeina.Ai": S: My standing as active member of the Kusari Cabinet calls for security. I've given word not to make use of it within -
[05.03.2020 20:17:29] "Fumeina.Ai": our sovereign space.
[05.03.2020 20:17:37] "Fumeina.Ai": S: It's deactivated.
[05.03.2020 20:18:00] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: I will need to be shown evidence of that, civilian.
[05.03.2020 20:18:06] Gashadokuro|Aoi: It honestly didn't seem too inactive a couple minutes ago.
[05.03.2020 20:18:19] "Fumeina.Ai": S: Kepler isn't sovereign space.
[05.03.2020 20:18:57] "Fumeina.Ai": S: Sure, I'll happily transmit you matters of concerns and by extension re-engage into discussions with the command.
[05.03.2020 20:19:02] Gashadokuro|Aoi: Your argument seems moot. You activated it on a whim.
[05.03.2020 20:19:09] Gashadokuro|Aoi: If it truly were inactive, you wouldn't be able to.
[05.03.2020 20:19:27] "Fumeina.Ai": S: Is that so? [05.03.2020 20:19:32] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Alright. That is settled then.
[05.03.2020 20:19:45] Zefirka: Am I allowed to continue my way?
[05.03.2020 20:19:46] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: If this happens again, be ready for more severe consequences.
[05.03.2020 20:19:50] Zefirka: Okay
[05.03.2020 20:19:52] Zefirka: Thank you
[05.03.2020 20:19:56] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Now leave. [05.03.2020 20:20:09] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: This one is claiming to be a member of the cabinet and have permission from a rear admiral for their cloak.
[05.03.2020 20:20:17] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: That sounds ridiculous.
[05.03.2020 20:20:21] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Civilian, I am still waiting on that evidence.
[05.03.2020 20:20:33] "Fumeina.Ai": S: You are quite funny.
[05.03.2020 20:20:49] "Fumeina.Ai": S: Like I keep confidential files accessible on spacecrafts.
[05.03.2020 20:20:51] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Surely you have that in writing somewhere, yes? That you can have this thing?
[05.03.2020 20:21:03] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: That should be a regular license.
[05.03.2020 20:21:56] "Fumeina.Ai": S: You mean the very same license not existing? The Rear Admiral already provided to give a realistic explanation -
[05.03.2020 20:22:06] "Fumeina.Ai": on why this license is not even existing in the first place to request.
[05.03.2020 20:22:17] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Who is that mysterious rear admiral, huh?
[05.03.2020 20:22:54] "Fumeina.Ai": S: Ishikawa Hideaki-san.
[05.03.2020 20:23:18] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: And Ishikawa-dono would spend his precious time conversing with some freelancer about this? I doubt it.
[05.03.2020 20:23:47] "Fumeina.Ai": S: Your "Freelancer" might be your- ah you know. Forget it. I'll get it unmounted for your personal pleasure.
[05.03.2020 20:23:50] 2020-03-05 20:23:55 SMT Traffic control alert: "Fumeina.Ai" has requested to dock [05.03.2020 20:24:06] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: I think you upset them.
[05.03.2020 20:24:33] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: It is us who should be upset. Spinning some ridiculous yarn about admirals and such..
[05.03.2020 20:24:46] "Fumeina.Ai": S: I'll reach out to a higher ranked personnel at given time.
[05.03.2020 20:24:50] "Fumeina.Ai": S: Have a pleasant day.
[05.03.2020 20:24:53] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Sure sure.
After this incident, we encountered three GC fighters and later a Blood Dragon in the system, they came looking for a fight and focused upon my ship, being the larger of the two KNF vessels present at the start. We were later supported by Hogosha who entered the fray, and a Bounty Hunter was on stand by wanting to enter combat. Additionally, IKN-Liu.Pen also engaged hostile, they did however manage to strike my own craft in cross fire and also fly directly into my maneuvering path, nearly causing a collision.
[05.03.2020 20:32:53] GC-Ide.Miki: Ohayo!
[05.03.2020 20:32:58] GC-Hanako: Seems we found the filthy mutts.
[05.03.2020 20:33:17] GC-Hanako: Powering up weapons in the name of Matsuda
[05.03.2020 20:33:18] GC-Kirisame: I can say the same
[05.03.2020 20:33:25] GC-Hanako: Opening fire on enemy fighters.
[05.03.2020 20:33:28] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Oh.
[05.03.2020 20:33:31] GC-Kirisame: Make short work of them
[05.03.2020 20:33:33] GC-Ide.Miki: Weapons charged! Opening fire!
[05.03.2020 20:33:33] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Quick, defend yourself!
[05.03.2020 20:33:43] GC-Kirisame: Charging weapons
[05.03.2020 20:35:45] Hatoi.Matsuso: Seems you have this handled, GC.
[05.03.2020 20:37:34] IKN-Liu.Pen: Cap Lui Pen: What happened here?
[05.03.2020 20:37:56] <|>Megumi-chan: This is Megumi, moving to assist the Kusari law enforcement, over!
[05.03.2020 20:38:02] <|>Megumi-chan: Remove Cardamine!
[05.03.2020 20:38:07] Hatoi.Matsuso: I see the Hogosha have arrived.
[05.03.2020 20:38:35] Hatoi.Matsuso: I will assist the GC, Priming weapons.
[05.03.2020 20:38:47] IKN-Liu.Pen: i will help Kusari
[05.03.2020 20:38:54] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: You will only hit us!
[05.03.2020 20:39:29] Death: GC-Hanako suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
[05.03.2020 20:39:43] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Stop firing, battlecruiser.
[05.03.2020 20:40:26] Gashadokuro|Aoi: I can't tell what I'm looking at.
[05.03.2020 20:40:45] Gashadokuro|Aoi: A mess, I suppose.
[05.03.2020 20:45:14] Death: GC-Kirisame suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
[05.03.2020 20:46:37] Faye.Wright: Got it sort of covered, I guess?
[05.03.2020 20:47:06] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: More than covered.
[05.03.2020 20:47:53] Gashadokuro|Aoi: I'm not sure Hattori agrees.
[05.03.2020 20:48:15] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Help appreciated at this moment! [For clarification, i was empty on nanobots, shield batteries and less than 15% hull integrity.]
[05.03.2020 20:48:25] Faye.Wright: Alrighty. Guns up, down, all around.
[05.03.2020 20:48:32] Gashadokuro|Aoi: Your services aren't needed, Hunter.
[05.03.2020 20:48:37] Faye.Wright: Oh come on.
[05.03.2020 20:48:37] Gashadokuro|Aoi: Keep your distance.
[05.03.2020 20:48:54] Gashadokuro|Aoi: If anyone's dealing with these pests, it's me.
[05.03.2020 20:49:34] Gashadokuro|Aoi: And I'd say it's about time.
[05.03.2020 20:49:43] Faye.Wright: You waited long enough.
[05.03.2020 20:49:50] Gashadokuro|Aoi: Debatable.
[05.03.2020 20:49:53] Death: [KNF]Masanari.Hattori was put out of action by GC-Ide.Miki (Wasp/Hornet).
[05.03.2020 20:52:34] Death: Hatoi.Matsuso was put out of action by <|>Megumi-chan (Mine).
[05.03.2020 20:54:59] Death: GC-Ide.Miki was put out of action by Gashadokuro|Aoi (Gun).
A Number of Freelancer later entered the system, looking to assist the Kusari State. One had an unregistered cloaking device, I warned them that this is considered illegal. They apologized for it. I permitted them to pass this once, as they were hunting hostiles. I forwarded the information to the Ikko Kaii.
(I un-docked from Battleship Myoto after being killed, and these two RP'd with me. I wasn't sure If I was supposed to just bolt out or not, so I put my policeman hat on when I noticed the cloaking noise.)
[05.03.2020 20:59:24] [WM]Charles.Edwards: greetings naval forces
[05.03.2020 20:59:26] [WM]-"Renegade": Wingman "Renegade" at your service .... Would you like some assistance Law enforcement
[05.03.2020 20:59:40] [WM]Charles.Edwards: hostile targets detected in the system
[05.03.2020 20:59:43] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Freelancer vessel, do you have a cloaking device?
[05.03.2020 20:59:52] [WM]Charles.Edwards: yes
[05.03.2020 20:59:53] [WM]-"Renegade": one of us has
[05.03.2020 21:00:13] [WM]Charles.Edwards: it was me no worrys comander
[05.03.2020 21:00:18] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Such equipment is illegal by Kusari State Law, and I do not see your vehicle registered.
[05.03.2020 21:00:37] [WM]Charles.Edwards: really? i didnt know comander
[05.03.2020 21:00:43] [WM]-"Renegade": AHHH..... my operative did not realise
[05.03.2020 21:00:51] [WM]-"Renegade": we will leave
[05.03.2020 21:00:51] [WM]Charles.Edwards: i wont use it again
- - - - - - - - - -
The following was sent to Seiho Isayama.
[05.03.2020 21:02:09] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: [WM]Charles.Edward has a cloaking device, he appologized for using it. I gave him a warning as he said he is here-
[05.03.2020 21:02:27] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: To assist with hostiles. He was accompanied by a gunship.
The following situation saw the Freelancers attack the Kempeitai vessel assuming it was an alien. The Hogosha protected the Kempeitai and engaged the Freelancers. Once I arrived I ordered all vessels to cease fighting to get to the bottom of the situation.
Text in purple is personal comm between KNF Officers. Text in gold are broadcast messages system wide.
[05.03.2020 21:05:37] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: What are you doing, Hattori-san? [05.03.2020 21:06:08] [WM]Charles.Edwards: Wilde Detected 6E [05.03.2020 21:06:13] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Currently at Battleship Myoko.
[05.03.2020 21:06:50] <|>Ryota-Mf: I see Mercenaries attacking a Naval ship. [05.03.2020 21:07:32] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: I suppose we can return to New Tokyo now.
[05.03.2020 21:08:34] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Freelancers engaging the Kempeitai near Deshima.
[05.03.2020 21:09:00] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Hogosha is also being attacked.
[05.03.2020 21:09:17] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: What?
[05.03.2020 21:09:27] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: This is Kusari Naval Officer Hattori. Cease this conflict at once! [05.03.2020 21:09:49] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Freelancers are engaging Kempeitai and Hogosha near Deshima.
[05.03.2020 21:09:57] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Why would they do that.
[05.03.2020 21:10:19] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: I have asked that they cease hostilities to find that out.
[05.03.2020 21:10:50] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Their fighting has lead them into the Keiun Cloud.
[05.03.2020 21:11:15] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Stop your fighting! [05.03.2020 21:11:19] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: So they do not listen?
[05.03.2020 21:11:27] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: This is a order from the Kusari Navy.
[05.03.2020 21:11:54] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Hogosha, cease.
[05.03.2020 21:12:03] <|>Ryota-Mf: This fanatics attacked a Naval Pilot.
[05.03.2020 21:12:16] [WM]Charles.Edwards: we were chasing an alien
[05.03.2020 21:12:23] [WM]Charles.Edwards: we are here to help
[05.03.2020 21:12:25] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Explain yourself. [05.03.2020 21:12:36] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: It seems everyone has gone mad today!
[05.03.2020 21:12:36] [WM]Charles.Edwards: We detected wilde ship in the system
[05.03.2020 21:12:58] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: What do you mean you detected a wilde ship?
[05.03.2020 21:14:38] <|>Ryota-Mf: There he is, your "alien".
[05.03.2020 21:14:48] Gashadokuro|Aoi: I was rather occupied shaking this guy's bigger brother.
[05.03.2020 21:14:57] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: The Kempeitai?
[05.03.2020 21:15:14] <|>Ryota-Mf: Attempted assault of a member of the Kusari law enforcement.
[05.03.2020 21:15:20] <|>Ryota-Mf: Punishable by death.
[05.03.2020 21:15:22] Gashadokuro|Aoi: You ever seen an "alien"? Strange-coloured thrusters. Advanced weapons.
[05.03.2020 21:15:24] <|>Ryota-Mf: I'm about to deliver.
[05.03.2020 21:15:32] [WM]Charles.Edwards: You have Aoi tag
[05.03.2020 21:15:48] [WM]Charles.Edwards: what is this nonsens
[05.03.2020 21:15:49] <|>Ryota-Mf: Officers, I will only act in regards of the Legal Codex. [05.03.2020 21:15:56] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Sir, maintaining detection with scanners is difficult in this cloud.
[05.03.2020 21:16:16] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Are they still fighting?
[05.03.2020 21:16:19] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: What the..
[05.03.2020 21:16:23] [WM]Charles.Edwards: can i leave now since you dont need me here [05.03.2020 21:16:24] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: They are not.
[05.03.2020 21:16:25] Gashadokuro|Aoi: Frankly, I should be.
[05.03.2020 21:16:32] <|>Ryota-Mf: Leave?
[05.03.2020 21:16:36] [WM]Charles.Edwards: Yes!
[05.03.2020 21:16:42] <|>Ryota-Mf: Attempted assault and then wants to simply leave.
[05.03.2020 21:16:45] [WM]Charles.Edwards: We were here jsut to help you
[05.03.2020 21:16:56] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: The Kusari Naval force wishes to get to the bottom of this, and we require cooperation from all involved.
[05.03.2020 21:16:58] [WM]Charles.Edwards: against hostile forces
[05.03.2020 21:17:09] <|>Ryota-Mf: Freelancers attacked.
[05.03.2020 21:17:24] [WM]Charles.Edwards: We did not know you have an officer undecover here
[05.03.2020 21:18:09] <|>Ryota-Mf: A suspicion sure.
[05.03.2020 21:18:18] <|>Ryota-Mf: Is not enough for opening fire. [05.03.2020 21:18:26] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Sir, I am not sure what to do in this situation. Do we take lawful precedence or does the Kempeitai?
[05.03.2020 21:18:27] <|>Ryota-Mf: Frick off, Gunboat rookies.
[05.03.2020 21:18:31] [WM]Charles.Edwards: We did not open fire
[05.03.2020 21:18:42] Gashadokuro|Aoi: You most certainly did.
[05.03.2020 21:18:43] [WM]Charles.Edwards: we try to make him wait your arrival naval forces [05.03.2020 21:18:49] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Uh. I do not think the kempeitai has any law enforcing power.
[05.03.2020 21:18:53] [WM]Charles.Edwards: and he started attack
[05.03.2020 21:18:57] [WM]Charles.Edwards: so we fight in self defense [05.03.2020 21:18:59] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Is this some tragic misunderstanding then?
[05.03.2020 21:19:00] [WM]Charles.Edwards: thats all
[05.03.2020 21:19:04] <|>Ryota-Mf: I am most certain you did fire first. [05.03.2020 21:19:15] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: He was assaulted by the Freelancers, or so it seems.
[05.03.2020 21:19:16] [WM]Charles.Edwards: Well you wasnt there hogasha
[05.03.2020 21:19:39] <|>Ryota-Mf: Let's ask for the Kempeitai's version.
[05.03.2020 21:20:10] [WM]Charles.Edwards: all was a missunderstanding
[05.03.2020 21:20:18] [WM]Charles.Edwards: thats why i ask you please let me go now
[05.03.2020 21:20:19] Gashadokuro|Aoi: What happened should be obvious. My transponder shows up as unknown to those without the required firmware
[05.03.2020 21:20:28] Gashadokuro|Aoi: to identify a Kempeitai vessel like mine.
[05.03.2020 21:20:46] [WM]Charles.Edwards: we didnt know that
[05.03.2020 21:20:57] [WM]Charles.Edwards: sorry for that then
[05.03.2020 21:20:58] Gashadokuro|Aoi: And since they're complete fools they assumed an unknown IFF could only -possibly- belong to
[05.03.2020 21:21:01] Gashadokuro|Aoi: some sort of alien vessel.
[05.03.2020 21:21:10] Gashadokuro|Aoi: A simple scan would've told them otherwise, but they jumped to a ridiculous conclusion.
[05.03.2020 21:21:16] Gashadokuro|Aoi: I'd take them in. They're likely under the influence.
[05.03.2020 21:21:30] Gashadokuro|Aoi: If we're lucky, it's not Cardamine.
[05.03.2020 21:21:50] [WM]Charles.Edwards: We are NOT the bad ones here comander
[05.03.2020 21:21:59] [WM]Charles.Edwards: We came here to assist
[05.03.2020 21:22:03] [WM]Charles.Edwards: we are bounty hunters
[05.03.2020 21:22:05] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Ugh, you have an itchy trigger finger for sure.
[05.03.2020 21:22:22] <|>Ryota-Mf: Attempted assault and the moment it gets too hot, make up a nice "but we help buh-huh" story.
[05.03.2020 21:22:23] [WM]Charles.Edwards: And i repeat
[05.03.2020 21:22:28] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Fortunately worse things could be averted due to the effort of Hattori-san.
[05.03.2020 21:22:28] [WM]Charles.Edwards: we did not start the attack
[05.03.2020 21:22:29] <|>Ryota-Mf: Real great.
[05.03.2020 21:22:38] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: You
[05.03.2020 21:22:48] [KNF]Masanari.Hattori: Thank you, sir.
[05.03.2020 21:22:51] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: will pay the repair bill for the ship you attacked.
[05.03.2020 21:22:51] [WM]Charles.Edwards: Is a cruise disruptor considered start attack?
[05.03.2020 21:22:59] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: And that shall be it.
[05.03.2020 21:23:03] <|>Ryota-Mf: Under what law will you force me?
[05.03.2020 21:23:04] [WM]Charles.Edwards: Roger
[05.03.2020 21:23:10] Gashadokuro|Aoi: I do not believe vandal missiles classify as cruise disruptors.
[05.03.2020 21:23:11] <|>Ryota-Mf: Oh, you mean them.
[05.03.2020 21:23:16] <|>Ryota-Mf: Good, good.
[05.03.2020 21:23:22] [WM]Charles.Edwards: Idont have vandal missiles
[05.03.2020 21:23:34] <|>Ryota-Mf: Your comrade does.
[05.03.2020 21:23:34] [WM]-"Renegade": let me explain officers what happened
[05.03.2020 21:23:35] [WM]Charles.Edwards: How much will it be then?
[05.03.2020 21:24:07] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: You got into a fight, I understand it well enough.
[05.03.2020 21:24:28] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: I don't really wish to prolong this, pay for the damages and then we can all move on.
[05.03.2020 21:24:38] [WM]Charles.Edwards: How much?
[05.03.2020 21:24:44] [WM]-"Renegade": how much
[05.03.2020 21:25:19] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Let's see..
[05.03.2020 21:25:47] [KNF]Ii.Seiho.Isayama: Doesn't look like too much damage to me.
[05.03.2020 21:26:08] [WM]-"Renegade": 5 million cover it
