Konnichiwa honored BoD.
The Hakkan-Maru has completed it's tour to Planet Kurile and has brought back the required goods as instructed.
For now we are being serviced by the technicians at Tomoika until we are ready to make way for Yokohama.
The vessel has handled the rigors placed upon it by the cloaking device with minimal effort and all systems reported at least a 97% efficiency rating during tests.
The journey was for the most part uneventful as the stealth systems handled themselves nicely during both transitions of the Sigma systems.

There was one incident of note, a Togo class vessel was reported assaulting one of our facilities upon our return to Nagano.
With his fighter escort engaged with our security detail, I decided to take the Hakkan-Maru against his vessel to test out the new targeting scanners installed earlier in the year, real tests will never be replaced with simulations.

The vessel recognised by our database as the Nobunaga was fully armed and within close proximity when we arrived.
After attempting to warn the vessel away, it open fire and we were forced to do likewise.

I am happy to report that the scanners performed as expected and we were able to dispatch the Togo with minimal damage to our port side.
No crew members were injured and the Togo was last seen headed towards Okinawa with heavy damage, reactor leaks and a heavy list.

Our vessel can not receive the full repairs at this location but there is no danger from waiting till our arrival at Yokohama Shipworks complex A later in the week.
