Ensign Tanaka, reporting on my first patrols. After witnessing officer Senzo and his partner dispatch of a pirate threat in New Tokyo, I was en route to the Tau systems when I was alerted to the presence of known crimminal, Midnight_Express. As per KNF Alpha action report #547, this pilot is wanted for Cardamine traffic, resisting arrest and firing with deadly force upon Naval Forces vessels.
A quick scan revealed that the ship was again full of Cardamine, as such I informed him that he was in violation of Kusari law, and demanded that he leave Kusari immediately. Unfortunately, his lead was too large, and he lengthened it by firing upon and disabling all the trade lanes that he passed through. Nonetheless, I pursued him through Kusari until he exited our space via the Kepler system, and I am happy to say that my chase prevented him from landing in our space, if that was his intention. There will be no drugs pushed upon our children today.
