Konnichwa Father, Eldars, and Kobun in the Black Dragon Society. It is with great honor that I accept the title of Fuku-Honbucho. As a lieutenant of our family, I will see to it that our foundation in Kusari is maintained. I, like all of you started humbly as a Kobun. I did not seak greatness in our society but my continued service has seemed to catch the eye of our eldars. I expect the Kobun to show me the same measure of dedication and loyalty, that I gave as a Kobun, and will continue to give as a Fuku-Honbucho.

I will begin by submitting my latest endevours. While GMG patrols were reported low in the sigma's, I was able to enter the system without alerting their patrols. It seems the GMG harbors much resentment to our society. While we do not engage in hostile actions in their entrance to Kusari we are hardly met with the same treatment. The GMG blindly believe we are supporters of the Samura company without obtaining the proper evidence. Junkers seem to roam freely in these sectors due to our decreased activity, but I quickly reminded them of our presence there. I managed to find and capture some junkers as they flew through the thick nebula. As I departed however, it seems the thick cloud was unable to mask my presence, and GMG were soon alerted to my presence. I quickly departed into Honshu, and travelled to Sigma-19. It was not long ago that the junkers launched an attack on the Luxer Liner Hawaii. I took my captives there to recieve special "treatment." I wanted these prisoners alive. While there I quickly overlooked to our business on the liner, ensuring everything has been running smoothly. We've taken extra precaution since the attack to ensure our business is not interfered with.

I departed, and proceeded to head back to Honshu, however the GMG are resiliant. They intercepted my ship and began barking orders at me. In an attempt to diffuse the mood, I camly spoke with the miners. I even offered them a filthy Outcast pirate that I was able to collect in my travels. We have no use for these pirates, and if the GMG are jailing them at least they are no longer our problem and they will stay out of our system. However, the GMG nevertheless continued to remain hostile, to a simple Hogoshan, "enjoying the view spectacular vistas of the Sigma-19 system." The miners did not act on their words, as I'm sure they were a bit grateful when they detected the Junkers in my hold. They escorted me out of the system where I returned to Kabukicho to unload my captives for "questioning."



After this, I felt a visit to bretonia was in hand. Their privateers have been stopped in Kusari numerous times. I felt it was time to return the favor. After terrorizing Bowex, and BMM stations, I was able to pass to the Magellens, where I awaited traders heading to Liberty. However, it seems trades between Bretonia and Liberty are not quite as numerous as our trades with Rheinland. Our strong economic support will undoubtetly fuel our war efforts. It wasn't long until BAF patrol forces were able to isolate my position. It's a shame, military ships doing Police work. Upon coming into scaner range, I made a quick departure and evaded the patrols. However, I was routed when trying to escape through the Lewis system! I was able to evade the patrols and escape into Liberty. I had to be careful, they would not look kindly on a Hogosha ship, carrying Bretonian captives.

Staying off the main transit lanes, I was able to detour toward Colorado, bypassing any liberty patrols. However, the system chatter indicated that a member of the Liberty Navy was getting agrivated by Junker ships blocking the tradelanes. I took this opportunity to spread some propaganda about the Junkers. Explaining to them their latest exploits in slave trading, and harboring pirates. The Liberty Officer was quite gracious, so gracious in fact that he tipped me off to some important information.



I was able to intercept the two junkers in question out side of Planet Denver. Clearly they have connections in the LPI to acquire such a large shipment of slaves. Carrying no supplies for the slaves, I first attempted an approach. Slaving is Illegal in most of Sirius. Here I had concrete evidence of the Junkers connection with LPI and the slave trade. I stopped the convoy, and explained to them their predicament. I told them I'd keep my mouth shut, if they proved their worth. But instead they continuted on their route, and ignored the situation. They even insulted me when I continued to disrupt their cruise engines to keep them there to "chat." I had given them enough time to "co-operate." Clearly headed towards Kusari, I offered them a chance to leave with their lives after insulting me. They clearly thought highly of themselves, and offered them an ultimatum to put their credits to their thoughts. 10 million credits for their lives. Refusing they left me with my favorite option. Junker Destruction.

I continued persuit, but their ships were reinforced with armor plating. The larger train seemed to be able to absorb a few rounds of my Supernova. So I decided to focus on the smaller of the transports, one without proper reinforcing. "Fat Tony" took this opportunity to flee, as I continued persuit of Jose.Padilla.

To my surpise, they knew of jumpholes I've never mapped before.. Leading to my surprise when the entered a secured Kusari Naval Force system! I immediatly send out a communication to the Naval forces explaining my presence, and I asked them to intercept the trader.



However, he managed to escape to Honshu, where he finally met his inevitable destruction. A pity the slaves needed to be wasted. Some of them could have proved useful in our prostitution rings, or be traded for profit. However, if this junker was not stopped even more slaves would meet the same treacherous fate. I also needed to deliver a message.. No Junker is safe in Kusari, even at the expense of slaves. The blood is on the Junker's hands for not co-operating, it is their fault they did not accept my initial conditions.



I notified the KSP of the intruder, and warned them that another junker may possibly go through the same route. I will need to submit a formal report to explain to them the rising danger of Junker slavers. Especially if they know of secured guard systems!

I was able to call in assistance, in saving these poor slaves.. Although it would have been useful to our trades, a KSP officer responded to my request for aid. I felt it was better to maintain our image, and surrendered all my captives to him even the slaves.. Finally I was able to give up the bretonian swine in my hold to a Kusari officer.. I could only hope that the destruction of the Junker ship scared a few of the captives.

It was at this time, I went to New Tokyo, in order to rest after all these endevours. However, I was interrupted when our new brother, Sen'shi Kyokutei requested aid in Honshu. He has already submitted a report on the incident.

With the mounting evidence we have against the Junkers, even of a member of the junker council we should push for their banning in Kusari. This will allow us to focus our efforts in driving the gaijin back, to expand our business outside of Kusari.

I then heard of an independant Hogosha, piloting a corsair gunboat (//with all nomad weapons) openly pirating in our home system. This would not be condoned.



I was able to reason with the headstrong Hogoshan, into more favorable conditions.

After all these events, I was still not finished with my work. Tomodachi, and our new brother Kuro Aki were ready. I felt it was necissary to travel to edinbourgh, to ensure diplomatic relations with the Gaiains were maintained. At the same time, we could ensure our ships were registered to enter their guard system, allowing a safe route of escape from the BAF/BPG when we attend to "business in bretonia." However, it was not long until BAF forces arrived, directly OUTSIDE of islay. It seems the Gaiains were not as well hidden as they expected. I had trouble with my ship, and these trigger happy bretonian swine offered no chance for Tomodachi to stale them until my ship was working. I undocked and immediatly entered the fray. It was not long until they managed to fire a few lucky shots at Tomodachi, breaching his hull.

I continued to fights the bretonians, exhausting their supply of missiles, nanobots, and batteries. However, Islay was able to detect reinforcements en route to assist the two pilots. The scum, I felt only one option available. To ensure the safe return of the bretonian captives I had, I decided to escape destruction. Bretonia scum, calling me a coward when they new reinforcements and supplies were en route to their location. No matter, I escaped and I will return to prove to them the power of the Hogosha!

These repeated skirmishes with Sentai-86, Kiretsu, gaijin traders, outcasts, and pirates in our system only strengthen the need for a training program. I have requested that all Kobun, and all eldars post their available hours outside their daily duties to the society. I will begin structuring a formalized training program. Eldar Mazakatu Nagumo is correct, increased training and militarization is the only answer to the belligerence of our enemies and rivals. We will show them the power of our family!
