Father, Elders and Brothers,

An interesting day indeed in Kusari, during the first half of my patrol I overheard disturbing comms chatter in Kyushu space. I slipped past a Blood Dragon gunship in a trade lane and identified the pilot as Hanson.Hook.

All that advice our elders give out to us must be having an effect because unlike the "hot-headed" Tomodachi of old, I decided that without any allies to support me, I would be foolish to try and take on this pirate on my own.

I found a Samura station to hold up in and began to warn trade vessels approaching Kusari space of the potential threat to them, which must have angered the dragon somewhat because he then started to taunt me with shouts of "Hogosha coward!" in an attempt to anger me into a foolish mistake.

I answered him back, "You call me a coward, whats that your flying a gunship?"

To this he replied "If I had a fighter, I would use it on you!"

And to this I stated "If you had a fighter, you would already be dead!"

After this verbal exchange he retreated back to the foul hole he had come from, obviosly realising that there would be no easy pickings while I was in the system to warn the honest Kusarians in advance.

No sooner had the Dragon gone than a BAF fool named James.R.Dean-P entered Kyushu intent on destroying as many Kusarians and their allies as he could manage. This Bretonian wears a BAF insignia but I believe he serves only for his own financial gain calling himself a "Privateer", I broadcast to him that I believed him to be nothing more than a "Bretonian Pirate".

Unfortunately I could not stop him destroying an unfortunate trader and then he seemed to disappear as quickly as he had arrived.

A short while later I received a communications from two of our allies an Alliance pilot named Sousuke.Patro and a Sumara pilot named Hiroshi.Tsuda, they had picked the BAF intruder up on their scanners in New Tokyo and together we intercepted him at the New Tokyo -> Kyushu system gate and began to give him a well deserved beating. The Bretonian was no longer in the mood to fight and began to flee towards the safety of home space no longer feeling as brave as he was. The Alliance pilot tracked him down eventually in Tau-31, destroying his military fighter and of course his pride in the process!

My brother Hakatoa Yamota, then joined us to finish our patrol for that day turning back or punishing several Junkers and smugglerswho were fouling Kusari space.

The moral of the tale dear brothers is that even when the military of Kusari are otherwise engaged if the Hogosha and their allies stand firmly together we can defeat the strongest of our enemies!

Sayonara, Tomodachi out ***
