Konnichiwa my good people.

I always enjoy patrolling Kusari space. The beauty, the serenity, the potential for prosperity is as promising as ever. I feel we are making progress, though of course it will take us much time and work yet.

My patrol today started out in Kyushu. From there I made my way to New Tokyo and proceeded in the direction of Honshu. At the jump gate to Honshu I ran into a Golden Chrysanthemum, a gaijin pirate (callsign Saerieve), and a couple of gaijin traders. A battle was going on between the pirate and a Hogosha vessel. It seemed to be in hand so I began to work on the traders. Unfortunately shortly after that, the Hogosha vessel met its end, and while my attention was diverted away from the traders and onto the others, the traders managed to slip away. Naturally the Chrysanthemum and the pirate were not too pleased with my presence. Just as we were conversing, a gaijin miner passed me and docked with the trade lane. I decided to bring our talks to a swift end and pursue the miner, who I had more pressing business with. It took some chasing, but I eventually caught the miner in Kyushu. He was running for the Tau-23 jump hole. He did not offer any satisfactory response to my numerous requests, so I destroyed his vessel. Some people have no regard for the welfare of those whose hospitality they obliviously ignore for their own financial gain.

Just as I had dealt with the gaijin miner, the Golden Chrysanthemum and the pirate arrived. They had seemingly followed me from New Tokyo looking for trouble. Some more tense words were exchanged, and an inevitable battle followed.



She faught well, and the pirate showed some honor by not interfering. I have little doubt that we will meet again.
