Preliminary Patrol Summary: Departed from Nago Station in the Saga (Tau-29) system at 0630. The patrol was largely uneventful, though my vessel sustained minor damage during one encounter, necessitating repairs with nanobots and subsequent replenishment. Repair costs were duly invoiced as per internal regulations. Events: 0737: Re-established visual contact with the smuggler HS>La.Volpe in Shikoku near the anomaly to the Kepler system. The vessel was carrying 4,300 units of illegal pharmaceuticals from Liberty. The contact refused orders to stop, leading to a pursuit through the Shikoku and New Tokyo systems, culminating in Kyushu. The smuggler was apprehended by disabling their shields. A total of 250,000 credits was extracted from the smuggler for the prolonged chase. The cargo held no value for Kusari. 0925: Routine patrol through the Tau region, covering the Baffin, Coronado, and Cortez systems, brought us into contact with TFP)-Wind.Rose. Initially, the contact was uncooperative, but the subsequent arrival of TFP)-Watatsumi, TFP)-Kelly.With!, A/)-Yoruha|, TFP)-Atropos-2, TFP)-Blackjack, A/)-Revenant, A/)-Pentimento.III, and A/)-ACV-Python clarified the situation. The atmosphere was tense and distrustful at first, but A/)-Revenant and TFP)-Kelly.With! proved to be sufficiently constructive. A basic understanding was reached, with conclusions forwarded to higher command. 1140: Visual contact with Sendai.Maru, a Grendel-class frigate of the Farmer's Alliance, near the planet New Tokyo. Initially suspected it might attack the other present contact, Ionic|Aqua, but Sendai.Maru challenged us instead. A brief skirmish around the remnants of Roppongi Station moved to the Kanto Field. There, the contact was damaged to the point of surrender, with the captain and crew agreeing to be boarded and handed over to authorities. I suspect their position will soon be filled by someone else. That is all for now. Operative 127, Signing off.
