I come forth to bring my report from the latest activites as part of Ginza patrol, in the New Tokyo and surrounding systems.

Me and my patrol were ordered to scramble to assist an KNF officer engaged by GC terrorist cell in south New Tokyo space. Other wings such as Fuji were also in the air, but we didn't manage to reach the combat area before the officer Ishikawa was rendered combat inoperable by the concentrated GC assault on him.

Soon we set on doing a search for the assailants who had fled the scene, and our patrol managed to glimpse a large GC vessel (callsign GC-Tsutuji)making it's getaway to a remote area in the Chiba Field. We were however unable to intercept it, as we were ordered to redirect our efforts in assisting Fuji-2, who had engaged the GC assassins in unmonitored area in Honshu system.

Ginza patrol was the next to arrive in the combat area, and we moved in to assist. Combat was tense and dangerous for our pilots, so there was little time for detailed intel gathering on the hostiles. Records show that Fuji-2, Ginza-1 (myself) and Santo Kaisa M. Hattori were in combat with GC elements with callsign GC-Kirisame , Ariel.Rhiza. and GC-Yumi. My vessel was disabled during the combat, after Fuji-2 had managed to take down the Kirisame and was taken down by the Ariel.Rhiza in turn. After action reports indicate that M. Hattori with the assistance of Nito Kaii Kyōko Kishimoto managed to neutralize the remaining hostiles in the area and withdraw safely back to regular patrol areas.

Other sortie later on by Ginza patrol on the New Tokyo system responded to the sighting of a LNS warship in orbit of New Tokyo, allegedly on a mission of diplomatic nature (scans 1 and 2. Ginza-2 was launched and together with several other officers on patrol (Nk.Ayako.Nishimura, Ni.Kyoko.Kishimoto, Sk.M-Hattori, and 'Ronin',|66th), questioned the Libertonian captain and proceeded with the escort of the vessel with the envoys back to Liberty. Upon receiving the information that the intrusion into New Tokyo space had been granted by a Commander.Tokugawa, we requested the contacts of such officer and tried to get answers from the individual.

Commander Tokugawa was taken aback by our persistence in maintaining Kusari space controlled and secured, and after much pressure to reveal details of why a (by his words) "classified" operation had overtly allowed LNS vessels waltzing into New Tokyo mooring points without a word to KNF, he eventually yielded his credentials as an officer for a KOI department dubbed "Division of Fire", under a callsign Embers. I'm sure the Admiralty or the KNI will make diligence to check with KOI and ensure this kind of communications breakdown doesn't happen as often in the future.

In the meantime, I recommend keeping a vigiliant eye for similar movements by singular LNS vessels in the future.
