Inoue, Keishi-chō |KSP|Inoue.Makoto Incident: FA cruiser sighting in New Tokyo Details of Event: Trade lane scanners showed a cruiser-class ship entering Kusari space in the Honshu system. According to the scanners, it was equipped with Corsair weaponry. I returned to base, scrambled the crew and captained the destroyer "Kumano" that was part of the police fleet. Matsushima-san and I were able to intercept the cruiser, and it turned out to be a "Hel" class cruiser of Farmers Alliance affiliation. Based on the name of the ship, I would hazard a guess that the ship and crew are part of the LWB part of the Alliance and are gaijin.
After a very brief conversation, hostilities escalated quickly. Matsushima-san and the Hel-class cruiser started to fire upon each other. As a fellow officer was under attack, I was forced to engage the cruiser, although I would have liked to investigate the matter further. I was able to disable the cruiser, but unfortunately it happened right after Matsushima-san's ship was disabled as well. I tractored Matsushima-san's escape pod and returned him to Shinagawa.
