Ensign Tanaka reporting in. Upon beginning my regularly scheduled patrol, I was alerted to a hostile Bretonian presence engaging officer Sasaki Kojiro in the Tau-29 system. I immediately set a course to join, but arrived only after the cowardly Bretonian had driven back Sasaki-san; This Bretonian ship, HMS-Waterwitch, was revealed to be Gunboat-class, and appeared to be operating alone.
I engaged the enemy, demanding they leave the system immediately; though clearly overpowered in my Chimaera, I notified the enemy that I was requesting reinforcements. Upon realizing that I was merely the first of many Samurai who would arrive to spill their blood, the Bretonians wisely retreated; leaving our space.
I am please to have been part of driving away the enemy, but look forward to facing them soon in true battle without cowardly escapes.
Tanaka Out.
