Konban-wa,

I am pleased to report that all went well during my shift. I've encountered a few suspicious ships in our Sigmas but they left without incident and no harm was done to our operations and our clients coming through. I'll brief you on my encounters:
I was patrolling about in Sigma 13 when I came across the emmisions of an inefficient engine. I knew from experience that such engines were distinctly Rheinland in nature. I began following this tell-tale trail and sure enough I came across a Rheinlander in the Yanagi debris field. As soon as communications began between us I knew from the signal that this ship wasn't RM or RFP. To be honest it was the first time I encountered that signal. I enquired about his identity and he told me he was currently running from the Chancelor's regime as a known unlawful, LWB. I never met these LWB before but he didn't like the RM or RFP. He also seemed to have a dislike for Corsairs and destroyed a few while there. I kinda like this guy. I told him that if he was neither a friend of the Chancelor's regime nor a friend of the Corsairs than he may hide but to not upset any trade in our system.
Later I received reports from patrols that a Hogosha enetered Sigma-19. I immediaely set course to investigate. I made radio contact with the Hogosha but never seemd to be able to find the ship. The capt of the ship designated [|]Horokyu was respectful and apologized for my accusations that they aided the Corsairs in betraying us, that it was a misunderstanding as they were not aware that the Corsairs were planning to sidestep. He assured me he wasn't there for artifacts but traveling for simple supplies. He also mentioned that they intentionaly ignored Samura's plea to hinder our efforts in Okinawa. Curious statement, maybe the Hogosha have real gaijin to deal with or maybe I was duped, that didn't matter as I learned of a unworthy gaijin was in our space.
In 13 an ESS ship was coming through. He was a hired merc but on off time. This merc seemed to be carrying the colouors of the ESS which pirated our sensei, Raikoke. I CD'd his engines and began probing him with questions. He was a merc, a hired gun and not a pirate. He said that members of his group may have been hired by Raikoke's aggressor's but that was part of his job. I assured him that if his employer's had hired him to cause trouble in our Sigmas that he'd find himself overwhelmed in numbers real quick. He assured me he was passing through and not under contract and left.
All in all it was a routine day and our businees continues uninterrupted.
