Gentlemen, peace as settled down, and most KNF units have resumed regular "peacetime" operations, although Kusari is never without trouble or threats.

On the 21st of this month, we began patrol operations aboard the IKN-Genshou, and were coordinating with KNF regular patrol units under the callsign Tokai. [KNF]Tokai-1 and others were essential in the patrol to maintain good reaction to changes in the operation, that our command vessel alone could not tackle.

Within first minutes of operation, Kyushu control referred to strange signature detected operating in the system, small and fast vessel detected in approach to New Tokyo with iff blacklisted on our surveillance network. Tokai patrol manage to intercept it near Shinjuku station, and we confirmed the presence of an LSF agent, which we detained.



After a brief interrogation, and assuming that the agent had come from some sort of botched jumpdrive operation that had thrown him into the Tau region, we escorted the vessel to the Liberty border. The agent seemed to lack any specific information or awareness of interest, and was relieved to be released back to Liberty.

Afterwards, the Genshou and the Tokai patrol proceeded with patrol of the Honshu system, and finding nothing out of the ordinary, with the exception of a Kishiro controlled Wyvern, the operation proceeded with a patrol for enemies in the nearby sigma systems.

Tokai patrol was reinforced by a KNF cadet with name Maeda.Tanjiro, and we proceeded along a path from Sigma-19, Sigma-17 and Sigma-13, before returning to Honshu system.

Along the way, we spotted Ageira vessels in shipping operations to the Omicron Theta system, Corsair civilian vessels, and DSE repair installations near Kurile. Situation near Hawaii Liner, Akta Research Station, Planet Kurile, Gas Miner Ogashawa, Hegoland Station and Gas Miner Naha were as recorded previously, with no disruptions noted either from criminal activity or conflict with Rheinland.

On return to Akita Border station, our patrol spotted a Zoner Aquilon Class carrier in transit, and we held it for interrogation. Seemingly ferrying passengers from one zoner installation to another in the Taus, we ordered it to submit to KNF control and be escorted to the border in Kyushu.
For this operation, we counted on the support of the IKN-Hirosaki, who diverted from his redeployment to Tohoku to assist us in leading the zoner vessel Z.Bluehornet to Fukuoka Border station.



Before leaving, the zoner crew warned us of the activities of a vessel named Arex, who they accused of having committed acts of piracy against the zoners in recent times, in the Honshu system. Advise patrols to coordinate with KSP and be on the lookout for the callsign.

May our defence remain strong, and our vigilance stronger.
Majin, signing off.
