Konnichiwa,

Todays patrol was eventful. I was joined by the pilot of the ship codenamed Onamazu. We followed the primary patrol from Akatsuki to Planet Harris, and deviated from there. We crossed once more the Edinburgh system, and this time entered the Orkney system through the Jump Hole near Planet Gaia. I had been there before, but only briefly, and so we began an Intelligence recon across the nearby landmarks in the system.

We began with Planet Sanday, the largest stellar body. In orbit, we found a base that flashed no identifications. It was clearly abandoned, and so we moved on around the planetary rings to the other side of the planet. There we found what remains of the Issoudun Shipyard, and inspected it as well as we could without EVAs. Perhaps, with significantly more time, we could bring a survey team to examine the wreckage. In the meantime, I observed that the majority of the damage was not on sensor arrays, reactor cores, or drydock portions, but on personnel-occupied areas. Hallways, command modules, crew quarters, those places where people would be found. I theorized that this attack was more of an extermination than a crippling of military might. This theory, coupled with the demands I have seen in the Treaty of Harris and the Leviathan Accords it references, lead to my wildly tangential theory that the attack was from Bretonia, it's aim being the claiming of as many Gallic lives as possible.

The patrol continued on towards the Westray Asteroid field with the intent to plunge deep within to avoid scanners and patrols. However, as we reached the edge of the field, a Gallic Naval vessel was spotted on scanners, so we quickly deviated courses and instead crossed the open space towards the Stronsay Asteroid field. Once there, we entered the field and followed the inside edge to avoid ambushes from within and scanners from without. We exited the field at roughly the G6 grid square, and made our way to Tau 23 from there.

Within Tau 23, we encountered a Gaian warship, which was strange in and of itself, but before we had the opportunity to think too hard about it we were engaged by Brigands, one of which was the cause of my stay on Java Station. After the battle had begun, a Gallic Navy officer appeared and engaged the Brigands, followed by an Outcast Gunboat, who was then chased off by the reappearing Gaian cruiser. The brigands were shot down, after a field repair on Java Station and hasty thanks to the IMG manning the station, we launched back to space to watch Auxesia watch the SLRC scientist collect more data on the anomaly. This did not last long, because with the return of the Gallic Navy officer and the appearance of a BIS agent came the return of the Outcast Gunboat. The present lawful forces engaged the Gunboat while the Zoner researcher defended their station. Heavy damage was dealt to the Gunboat, but cartel reinforcements in the form of a cruiser and a heavy battleship arrived, which lead to the present fighter craft retreating and the end of the patrol's duration in the Tau 23 system. Dialogue was exchanged with the BIS agent in Saga. Attached will be logs.

With the deployment of a Heavy Battleship, a Cruiser, and a Gunboat by the Outcasts, I recommend heavier combat asset deployment to the Tau 23 system. Deploying those assets suggest importance of the system to Outcast operations. Crushing them there will hinder them greatly.

Respectfully submitted, Kazu Chidori, Itto Kaii
