Greetings, sirs.
In all the shuffle with the Kempeitai incidents, I almost lost track of a few items. Putting them together below.
[color=#FFFFFF]Subject:AX-trans
While waiting for the Kempeitai agent near Ames Research Station a few days ago, I scanned this vessel leaving our space and headed into Kusari. It was full of slaves. I regret that I was unable to intercept, but I have confirmed proof of the cargo and tag.
Returning from the same ordeal in Kepler we encountered this Junker tagged and papered vessel running slaves. The Captain claimed that they had been offered a choice between working on Erie or someplace out in the Taus, and that they had chosen the Taus. I wasn't buying it, and called in an SFC| Gunboat and Transport to help rescue the slaves. We terminated the vessel and returned the crew and slaves to Fort Bush.
While escorting a pair of Kempeitai vessels out of Liberty who had accosted me in the Ontario system(a separate report can be filed if required), one of the vessels, the Umisachihiko bolted in the Kepler system towards the Galileo Jump Hole. Persuing the target, we both ran across an unregistered base by the name of Balaur. The Kempeitia eventually departed peacefully to Galileo while I inspected the base. I was refused docking rights, and a test with Pulse Weaponry determined the the facility does in fact have a functional shield system. No other modules were seen.
While trying to track a BDM| vessel with the LNS-Antietam, Captain Winter ran across this Pirate Transport who refused to yield the Liberty Personnel aboard. The vessel attempt to flee, but the crew of the LNF Paradise and I used our superior speed to catch up to and disrupt the Bentenmaru. Working with Captain Winters we were able to take out the vessel and rescue the hostages.
