Santo Kaii Saburo Kirazaki, reporting in.

Following a brief outfitting at Hamamatsu, Tonbokiri of the 66th accompanied me as I got a grasp on what patrol duty entails. We got to know each other a little bit before our patrol took us to the Sigma-13 system.

We encountered a Kishiro transport vessel labeled "0xDeliverance" transporting synth paste to the Narita Outpost, a common sight around the area following the Kyushu tragedy and succeeding relief effort. We escorted the vessel through the Hiro Cloud in Honshu, where we spotted a Corsair vessel identified as "DTR-Eradicio". He quickly fled the scene and commanding officer of the patrol, Tonbokiri advised against chasing, prioritizing the safe passage of the Kishiro vessel.

As we left the transport at the New Tokyo jump gate, we headed back to Sigma-13 and then further on down to Sigma-15. Just as we warped in, we spotted a Farmers' Alliance Cruiser heading through the jump gate we just left. Shortly after, three Büro des Marinenachrichtendiensts fighters appeared through the trade lane from Freeport 8. We teamed up and headed in pursuit of the ship.

Back in Sigma-13, we met with KOI officer "SDF-Midoriko" who intercepted the cruiser along with two other Alliance fighter ships. A few other independent ships joined us in taking care of the terrorists with no casualties on our end, fortunately.

Our patrol came to an end as we arrived in Honshu once again and Tonbokiri was called back to base. I thanked him for being patient with me as he left and I proceeded to get back to base for refuelling and ammo restocking.

For Kusari,
Santo Kaii Saburo Kirazaki.

[06.11.2023 19:54:44] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Alright, rookie. A Wyvern from the get-go, very nice.
[06.11.2023 19:55:02] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Let's see. Before anything else, tell me, are you the type -
[06.11.2023 19:55:16] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: seeking to protect the borders from within or from the outside?
[06.11.2023 19:56:15] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: In my honest opinion, it doesn't matter as long as the work we put in goes towards protecting everyone.
[06.11.2023 19:56:32] Shirasaki.Genzo: My greetings, officers.
[06.11.2023 19:56:32] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: I wouldn't mind a few outside excursions though...
[06.11.2023 19:56:52] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Hmh, so a potential future candidate for the expeditionary forces.
[06.11.2023 19:57:02] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Also well hello, Hogosha.
[06.11.2023 19:57:26] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Alright, if you're the type for the odd excursion, follow me.
[06.11.2023 19:58:56] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: We're usually not sticking our noses too far into Gas Miner territory but given the latest orders surrounding a corporate-
[06.11.2023 19:59:05] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: contract, we'll make an exemption.

[06.11.2023 20:01:48] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Ah, talking about that.
[06.11.2023 20:01:58] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: That's one of the relevant vessels.
[06.11.2023 20:02:07] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: Konichiwa.
[06.11.2023 20:02:29] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Let's see it arrive safely at the New Tokyo Gate.
[06.11.2023 20:03:06] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: I'm guessing this is about the recent contract between Kishiro and Synth Foods? I read something about it on the news.
[06.11.2023 20:03:11] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Hmh.
[06.11.2023 20:03:14] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Indeed.
[06.11.2023 20:03:19] 0xDeliverance: Thank you for the formal escort.

[06.11.2023 20:03:52] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: I'll leave my private opinion out of this. It's a showcase for the rookie, let's leave it at this.
[06.11.2023 20:05:35] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Not the best place to show up at, Corsair.
[06.11.2023 20:05:45] DTR-Eradicio: I know, so i leave
[06.11.2023 20:06:03] DTR-Eradicio: But i return, soon.
[06.11.2023 20:06:04] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Priority is this vessel, Kirazaki-san.
[06.11.2023 20:07:15] 0xDeliverance: Thank you for the passage, officers.
[06.11.2023 20:07:18] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Alright. Kishiro Captain, you're on your own from here on to Narita.
[06.11.2023 20:07:29] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Kirazaki, let's see if that Corsair still lurks around.
[06.11.2023 20:07:29] 0xDeliverance: Good flight to you.
[06.11.2023 20:07:30] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: Take care!
[06.11.2023 20:10:06] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Konbanwa.
[06.11.2023 20:10:13] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Another one, Kirazaki.
[06.11.2023 20:10:17] SFS-Providence: Max: It is good to see noble Kusarians here.
[06.11.2023 20:10:20] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Right back to turning around.
[06.11.2023 20:10:24] SFS-Providence: Max: I hope all is well.
[06.11.2023 20:10:29] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Follow us, Synth vessel.
[06.11.2023 20:10:34] SFS-Providence: Max: At once.
[06.11.2023 20:10:41] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: The less time we stay around in the nebulas, the better.
[06.11.2023 20:11:17] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: All right, my scanner picked up something on the way back here, might be that Corsair ship still lurking around.
[06.11.2023 20:11:49] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: It slipped past, deeper into the nebula. That's good.
[06.11.2023 20:12:12] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: That Corsair won't give up, it seems.
[06.11.2023 20:12:49] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: Seems like Corsairs showing up all over House space these days.
[06.11.2023 20:13:12] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: It's a rather common sight in the Hiryo, sadly.
[06.11.2023 20:13:51] Tip: Did you end up lost? Can't find your way back? Use the Interactive NavMap on our forums.
[06.11.2023 20:14:16] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: My cousin flies a Kishiro transport and from what he told me they are definitely showing up everywhere.
[06.11.2023 20:14:25] MNS-Reina.Cristina perished at DTR-CNS>El.Gran.Grifon's hands (44%)
[06.11.2023 20:14:52] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: It's very situational how they behave. Most relevant is the location you spot them at.
[06.11.2023 20:14:57] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Here? Usually a raiding party.
[06.11.2023 20:15:20] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Out further in the Sigmas? Potential logistical endeavors, you can talk to those usually.
[06.11.2023 20:15:45] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Anyway, let's go.

[06.11.2023 20:17:08] [>MRI<]Safe.Travels: CO: Greetings!
[06.11.2023 20:17:12] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Konbanwa.
[06.11.2023 20:17:23] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: Konichiwa.
[06.11.2023 20:17:41] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Hmh, a peculiar amount of vessels sneaking around the lanes today.
[06.11.2023 20:17:47] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: Scanner's picked up something briefly
[06.11.2023 20:18:11] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Well, I got no intention to chase it into the explosive pockets. Not my territory, the Gas Miners might know -
[06.11.2023 20:18:17] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: all the safe passages but I do not.
[06.11.2023 20:18:49] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: Their juristiction after all.

[06.11.2023 20:20:00] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: This deal seems to have gotten everyone riled up
[06.11.2023 20:20:20] BDM|Viper: Nothing to get riled up over.
[06.11.2023 20:20:21] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: I suspect we'll have to call off our little educational field trip. Can't have a Farmer Warship roam freely.
[06.11.2023 20:20:31] BDM|U-605: RO: Guten nacht.
[06.11.2023 20:20:35] BDM|Viper: Well, where is it?
[06.11.2023 20:20:53] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Sigma-13. You sure you'll want to encroach Gas Miner territory?
[06.11.2023 20:21:01] BDM|Viper: Do you want our help?
[06.11.2023 20:21:04] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: We'd not mind the helping hands ourselves.
[06.11.2023 20:21:17] BDM|Viper: Let's get rid of it, we can be in and out before trouble starts.
[06.11.2023 20:21:17] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Let's try to locate it.
[06.11.2023 20:21:28] BDM|U-605: RO: Copy. Let's move.

[06.11.2023 20:23:12] Schwertfisch: Time to defend
[06.11.2023 20:23:23] FA)Winnower.2: The Rheinlander is right.
[06.11.2023 20:23:33] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: No time like now, I'd say. Rheinlanders, let's clean up the path, shall we?
[06.11.2023 20:23:33] FA)Winnower.2: We must stand for our traditions!
[06.11.2023 20:23:40] BDM|Viper: We shall.
[06.11.2023 20:23:46] BDM|U-605: RO: Let's see.
[06.11.2023 20:23:48] BDM|Viper: Activating discharge protocol: VENOM, engaging.
[06.11.2023 20:23:49] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Time to get rid of some nuisances then.
[06.11.2023 20:23:51] BDM|Viper: You're about to become part of a vital field analysis, please attempt to defend yourselves.
[06.11.2023 20:23:51] Schwertfisch: Weapon engage

[06.11.2023 20:24:53] Death: The_Friendly_Sailor was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[06.11.2023 20:27:32] Schwertfisch's life support went offline thanks to BDM|U-605 (56%)
[06.11.2023 20:27:32] Assisted by: SDF-Midoriko (43%)

[06.11.2023 20:28:17] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Enjoy.
[06.11.2023 20:28:23] BDM|U-399: Anti-Fighter Gunboat reporting for duty. I will assist if need be
[06.11.2023 20:29:03] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Quite an exciting first excursion for a rookie, wouldn't you say.. Kirazaki?

[06.11.2023 20:30:40] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Two colonies Intel assets and us striking Farmers within Gas Miner territory. That's fuel for a news flash.
[06.11.2023 20:30:55] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Let's return back to Honshu.
[06.11.2023 20:32:15] [KNF]Saburo.Kirazaki: Gotta say, terrorists or not, firing upon Kusari vessels will take some getting used to

[06.11.2023 20:34:14] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: Kirazaki-san, you're free to continue your patrol as you see fit. You didn't lose your nerves out there, so you shouldn't -
[06.11.2023 20:34:24] [KNF]Tonbokiri|66th: have too many issues being on your own for a while.
