Hirosho Horatami had received word of the Outcast Storta vessel in Blood Dragon space. Before he could tell the Taishogun what was on his mind, he left with haste. He stormed down to the hanger bay, pushing and shoving people out of his way while running. Quickly, he entered his Gunboat with only himself and two of his crew that were already asleep inside the ship. Once they had been buckled in and cleared for launch, he did so. Hirosho departed Kyoto to find the small freighter being escorted into Kyoto. With a small but precise thrust, the dragon gunboat skimmed the freighter on the front and sent it spiraling backwards. Hirosho Horatami then proceeded to tell the two escorts that he would handle this matter. The two ships now sat there alone, with Kyoto watching.
Several seconds had past when both the freighter and the gunboat approached the Storta. The small freighter re-entered the Cruiser, and Hirosho left his gunboat in a similar craft. Kyoto Base could see no more.
