This is Captain Booth, Hector, Commanding Officer for Bristol Warship Endeavor.

It’s been a strange time. Kusari and Liberty have gotten up in arms, probably because of some Samura push, and then they started shooting for it too. The initial patrol that day was initially strange - a number of fighters were encounters flashing Order IFF (1), which all told were highly suspicious but appeared at the time to be generally reasonable all things considered. I haven’t seen that sort outside of the Omicrons before and their presence in such an interior system wasn’t all that good a sign.

Later on in the day, we encountered a small Liberty Navy task force in vicinity of Galileo-Colorado Jump Gate. Hailing them (2), the vessels refused to state their general business in system. Traffic was flowing freely through the gate, however, with several vessels getting in close proximity to the task force; as such, I assessed that the vessels were in system as a deterrence to Kusari forces. They did not appear to be at a high state of alert.

Following this, a Kusari force was detected moving through the central trade lane, halting approximately 15K from the Gate (3). Liberty Navy forces had grown to around 4 battleships, battlecruisers, and everything down the line while the Kusari force seemed to consist of destroyers and less with only one exception being a battlecruiser. We kept on station around 10K from the Kusari force, with hands to Battle Stations should they engage. Arcetri Station was likewise put on alert. After some posturing - stars, I honestly haven’t seen much like it before - the Kusari forces attacked. I kept on station still, waiting some time before something about it all seemed kind of off. What sort of absolute fools would make that engagement? It seemed like some sort of diversion.

I altered course into the Reppu cloud, moving around the battle on course for the Colorado Jump Hole. Reaching that location (4), I found one KNF liner, the Tsukushi-Maru, one KNF fighter, and the same Order patrol from previously. The Endeavor monitored the situation, as I assessed that the liner may attempt to break for Colorado, and followed the group north of the whole system. From the communications, it seems like the internal structure of Kusari is more fragmented than any really thought - some faction or another wants war, some wants peace, and both think the other is a traitor. God, I hate Kusari. Of course the Order threatened things after. Standard Order business.

En-route back to Arcetri Station, we picked up some communications traffic from the Liberty Navy vessels still in the area (5). It seems like the KNF task force had been utterly blasted, with only one remaining in the area that was explaining things to a Liberty officer over open comms. We logged it, but really it seemed like a whole appeal to “Let us deal with things ourselves” deal and some of the LSF acting like absolute hounds, wanting to blast the single LSF. And really, all said, that was the end of the patrol. Everyone figured we were in for some really stupid times. What a show.

Now there are embargos in place. Granted, I’m not too worried about either as far as travel since it was through Copernicus that we came, but the increased military presence in system has proven more difficult, all told. I figure there’ll be more shooting soon, between the two. Hogosha will probably try to vulture in again, use the KNF as a shield or threat, and that won’t be any good. DSE has thus far not been a problem, but if Liberty Navy gets a foothold I can almost guarantee a DSE depot will pop up before we blink. The crew’s been tense since then. I need to ship in some booze or something to do a rum tot, maybe. Something to get their minds off of things.

Captain Booth, signing off.

[27.07.2025 19:32:34] Tau-4: Think about, we have two bombers full of torpedoes.
[27.07.2025 19:32:40] Tau-4: Me.
[27.07.2025 19:33:20] Tau-4: Wait, we'll take care of you leaving that space.
[27.07.2025 19:33:24] Tau-4: Do not worry, we won't harm you.
[27.07.2025 19:33:59] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: Order vessels. What are you aware of?
[27.07.2025 19:34:07] Tau-4: Wasn't our disruptor.
[27.07.2025 19:34:11] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: I know.
[27.07.2025 19:34:40] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: How much truth lays in your organizations claims to try and safeguard humanit?
[27.07.2025 19:34:42] Tau-4: Heard of intensions between Kusari and Liberty and now have this here. I do not think such ship is for just show your crew-
[27.07.2025 19:34:46] Tau-4: how nice Liberty is, right?
[27.07.2025 19:34:57] Tau-4: It's ABOUT serving a humankind.
[27.07.2025 19:35:07] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: You've figured out enough then.
[27.07.2025 19:35:09] Tau-4: And if you want serve it too - leave Gallileo.
[27.07.2025 19:35:13] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: This is utmost crucial.
[27.07.2025 19:35:18] [KNF]Tsukushi-Maru: Noya: I am afraid that we were not expecting such a short-sighted approach from the Navy. They engaged our patrol.
[27.07.2025 19:35:22] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: I need -you- to assist me.
[27.07.2025 19:35:38] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: This Liner cannot return home. It cannot move forward. Do you understand.
[27.07.2025 19:35:45] Tau-4: Why so?
[27.07.2025 19:35:51] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: The plan must fail.
[27.07.2025 19:35:56] Tau-4: Which plan?
[27.07.2025 19:35:59] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: Only then can they be spoken to with reason.
[27.07.2025 19:36:01] [KNF]Tsukushi-Maru: Noya: Do not heed this traitor.
[27.07.2025 19:36:17] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: We're getting ahead of ourselves.
[27.07.2025 19:36:28] [KNF]Tsukushi-Maru: Noya: We must return home and report on the Navy's aggresive moves in the Galileo system.
[27.07.2025 19:36:39] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: Naive.
[27.07.2025 19:36:43] [KNF]Tsukushi-Maru: Noya: This liner poses no threat to you, or to the Order's operations.
[27.07.2025 19:37:00] Tau-4: Fine, but I have to see you're leaving that system.
[27.07.2025 19:37:31] B|-BCV-Endeavor: B: This is Bristol warship Endeavor to KNF liner. What was your business in Galileo?
[27.07.2025 19:37:33] [KNF]Tsukushi-Maru: Noya: We will attempt to charge our cruise engines once more.
[27.07.2025 19:37:39] Tau-4: Order going negative about escalation of that conflict.
[27.07.2025 19:37:50] Tau-4: Fine, okay. I sent order to my people to DO NOT disrupt your engines.
[27.07.2025 19:38:30] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: Captain. Who debriefed you?
[27.07.2025 19:38:35] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: Was it -him-?
[27.07.2025 19:39:07] [KNF]Tsukushi-Maru: Noya: You speak in riddles, traitor.
[27.07.2025 19:39:26] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: Who approved of this? Lord Mitsuo?
[27.07.2025 19:39:27] Tau-4: Why do you call him traitor?
[27.07.2025 19:39:33] Tau-4: Curiosity, nothing more or less.
[27.07.2025 19:40:42] [KNF]Tsukushi-Maru: Noya: We report to Lord Mitsuo, as do all servicemen. He is the Lord Protector, after all.
[27.07.2025 19:40:54] Tau-4: Alright. You didn't seen us.
[27.07.2025 19:40:59] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: As I've suspected. Very well.
[27.07.2025 19:41:14] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: That'll be tougher than anticipated.
[27.07.2025 19:41:20] Tau-4: Bristol captain, keep your mouth closed about that encounter.
[27.07.2025 19:41:49] Tau-4: KNF captain, dock to Shikoku Jump Gates and leave Gallileo system, do you copy?
[27.07.2025 19:41:56] B|-BCV-Endeavor: B: Something stinks here
[27.07.2025 19:42:25] B|-BCV-Endeavor: B: But it's not something I think I can clean. Clear out, Kusarian
[27.07.2025 19:42:27] [KNF]Tsukushi-Maru: Noya: We have no other business here, at any rate.
27.07.2025 19:42:55] Tau-4: Godspeed. Remember who's your true enemy are.

[27.07.2025 19:44:59] LRV-Alaska: L: What are our orders now?
[27.07.2025 19:45:15] 46th|SWG-Dusk: The Admiral is pre-disposed at the moment. Would you like to leave him a message?
[27.07.2025 19:45:17] 46th|SWG-Axis: Onryo.
[27.07.2025 19:45:18] LSS|Whitehawk: Vriheed: LSF thank Navy for its service, our ships are going for R&R.
[27.07.2025 19:45:22] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Speak, Onryo One.
[27.07.2025 19:45:24] 2025-07-27 19:45:27 SMT Traffic control alert: Exhart has docked
[27.07.2025 19:45:27] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: Leaving him a message will suffice.
[27.07.2025 19:45:44] 46th|SWG-Dusk: Just give us any reason, Commodore.
[27.07.2025 19:45:56] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: Before this escalated, I tried to warn him. I've managed to identify the man who approved this terrific act of -
[27.07.2025 19:45:59] [KNF]Onryo-1: dishonor.
[27.07.2025 19:46:13] 46th|SWG-Axis: Admiral Uhmen, I suggest we detain him and interrogate him.
[27.07.2025 19:46:14] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: I've promised your Admiral his head. He should know he'll have it soon.
[27.07.2025 19:46:25] 46th|SWG-Axis: He's even make it threats.
[27.07.2025 19:46:27] 46th|SWG-Dusk: I say we go get it ourselves.
[27.07.2025 19:46:42] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: I doubt your reach goes to New Tokyo, Pilot.
[27.07.2025 19:47:02] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Onryo One, your message will be relayed to the Fleet Admiral.
[27.07.2025 19:47:19] Suchtrupp: hello LFS
[27.07.2025 19:47:34] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: That's all I could ask for. It is a strange day, the Order intercepted the very reason why this all happened.
[27.07.2025 19:47:36] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: One minute. This isn't a call for me to make.
[27.07.2025 19:47:40] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: And it wasn't that one Nomad.
[27.07.2025 19:47:44] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Edwards: Handing comms over.
[27.07.2025 19:47:55] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: What's this all about?
[27.07.2025 19:48:06] *L|SN-Ojo.Uno: Kusari pilot, would the Naval Forces be open to receiving an inquiry from the LSNN about this situation?
[27.07.2025 19:48:23] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Give me one reason to not order the SWGs to have you spaced right now, Onryo One.
[27.07.2025 19:48:25] *L|SN-Ojo.Uno: And the same question to the Liberty Navy.
[27.07.2025 19:48:39] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: I'm not answering any question to you, Crayterian.
[27.07.2025 19:48:45] *L|SN-Ojo.Uno: We're Liparian.
[27.07.2025 19:48:59] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: Simple. I know who's behind this, the man who convinced these steps to be a required evil.
[27.07.2025 19:49:07] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: And I can put him in an early grave.
[27.07.2025 19:49:16] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: And why should your word be trusted?
[27.07.2025 19:49:22] 46th|SWG-Dusk: I'd rather we do it ourselves, Vice Admiral.
[27.07.2025 19:49:31] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Hold, Dusk. Let him speak.
[27.07.2025 19:50:13] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: *He sighs* Goryo, head of operations for the Totsugekitai Division. I was meant to oversee the Galileo -
[27.07.2025 19:50:27] [KNF]Onryo-1: situation before command over the region was stripped off me. Unstated reasons.
[27.07.2025 19:50:34] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: And then these.. bloody messes began.
[27.07.2025 19:50:55] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: And that lead you to side with Liberty in this conflict?
[27.07.2025 19:51:06] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Some dots are missing, Goryo.
[27.07.2025 19:51:33] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: I'm picking the Empire's side. It is convienently also yours. His oh so trusted Lord must be stopped in his tracks.
[27.07.2025 19:51:34] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Copy, Akhetaten.
[27.07.2025 19:52:02] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: What have you to say, Onryo?
[27.07.2025 19:52:08] 46th|SWG-Hollow: Admiral, give us a word and we will detain him.
[27.07.2025 19:52:18] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Copy, stand down, for now.
[27.07.2025 19:52:23] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: That I've identified the man responsible. In our upper echelons of command.
[27.07.2025 19:52:24] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: Goryo wished to upkeep his promise on giving you the head of the person responsible for this conflict.
[27.07.2025 19:52:39] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Very well. Who would that be, exactly?
[27.07.2025 19:53:15] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: Lord Protector Akihiro Mitsuo. He was acting through other commanders but the -
[27.07.2025 19:53:37] [KNF]Onryo-1: operative target vessel, which you did not find, spilled the beans under threat.
[27.07.2025 19:53:58] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: I have to rush. Returning home means dodging his men already but he needs to be put down before this goes on.
[27.07.2025 19:54:13] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: There is an alternative scenario.
[27.07.2025 19:54:43] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: You return to Liberty under surrender, where you will be treated fairly under the conventions of prisioners of war.
[27.07.2025 19:54:49] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: With dignity and honour.
[27.07.2025 19:54:58] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: And inability to act.
[27.07.2025 19:55:18] 46th|SWG-Dusk: Your inability to act today cost your men their lives in Galileo, Onryo.
[27.07.2025 19:55:19] .:j:.Deadpool: Masterson: Wow, lots of Navy and LSF today.
[27.07.2025 19:55:30] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Seems your life in Kusari is over. I'm offering an alternative.
[27.07.2025 19:55:35] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: All due respect, Admiral, that is a horrible call to make. I'd rather die a dignified death trying to put an end to him-
[27.07.2025 19:55:42] [KNF]Onryo-1: myself than to rot away in Liberty.
[27.07.2025 19:55:46] 46th|SWG-Dusk: I'm happy to provide it to you.
[27.07.2025 19:56:01] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Fair enough. I can respect that.
[27.07.2025 19:56:17] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Well, seems no point in us killing you. Your own House will do that, in due course.
[27.07.2025 19:56:27] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: So it would seem.
[27.07.2025 19:56:38] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: As such, you are free to leave to enjoy what life you have left.
[27.07.2025 19:56:38] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: I believe his story, Fleet Admiral. He came all the way out here, again, on his own accord.
[27.07.2025 19:56:46] 46th|TFA-LNS-Akhetaten: Uhmen: A step that he could've avoided.
[27.07.2025 19:56:48] [KNF]Onryo-1: Goryo: There's resistance forming already. His disappearance might be the key.
[27.07.2025 19:56:50] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Affirmative, Akhetaten-actual.
