Patrol timeframe: from 21:49 to 22:32 SMT

I started my patrol in Hiroshima system and headed to Kyushu system.

While taking the Planet Kyushu-Tsushima depot tradelane a couple of nearby contacts came on my radars. I exited the lane to find two Blood dragon members - bomber Heruya_Chiba and very heavy fighter Li_Takahashi in conversation with a trader Johanson. (Guncam shot).

They demanded the trader, which was carrying scientists to Nansei Research Complex, to turn around.
Communication log excerpt:
[17.08.2010 22:07:14] Heruya_Chiba: They belong where they were
[17.08.2010 22:07:25] Heruya_Chiba: Not researching weapons for the kusari
(..)
[17.08.2010 22:12:32] Heruya_Chiba: You johanson will return those scientists to their old base, and the knf will stay out of it

I did not agree with the proposal and neither did Johanson. Trade vessel started to head to Nansei, BD opened fire on it, to which I immediately responded by targeting their bomber with all the firepower at my disposal.

My efforts did succeed, however, only seconds after they managed to destroy the trade vessel. At this point a BD Gunboat appeared on scene. Fortunately, an IMG Spatial craft [A_C]Talisman[Esc] came to my aid. (Guncam shot).

As I sent out a request to search and rescue party to come to aid the survivors, I was contacted by [i][KNF-K]Raikiri. I asked for an assistance to destroy the Gunboat.

Soon afterwards, Li_Takahashi fell by the hand of [A_C]Talisman[Esc].

After a short while [KNF-K]Raikiri came to an assistance and we concentrated our fire on Gunboat. IMG craft had taken some damage and departed.

It didn't take long before Gunboat's armor was shredded into open space and it was destroyed. (Guncam shot).

After the fight I headed to Planet Kyushu to conclude the patrol.

Signed,
Ensign Taiki Ono
