This report covers the patrol almost 4 days ago, I was unable to send in the report earlier at due to Neural Net failure.
Upon assuming my patrol, I contacted Chûsa Myuki Kokori and was called to Honshu system to assist in neutralizing a Blood Dragon cruiser and its escort craft. I went there as fast as lanes could carry my craft and was in Honshu within a few minutes.
Once in Honshu, I consulted the NavMap for the location of my superior officer. I found the transmission signal near Osaka Storage facility and headed there by lane.
However, once I got to Osaka, I found that signal is moving way from me, towards the sun and planet Honshu. I figured that dragons might be attempting to flee into the clouds, so I quickly turned around and headed by lanes to Yukawa shipyard to intercept them from the other side.
My plan was not enirely flawless, but it worked just well. Dragons used Sun's corona to temporary hide from Naval Forces. They didn't stay there long, though, and attempted to flee. That was not successful, and soon we had them by their throats. It must be noted that allied pilots [AFA]Nakashima.Michiyo. and Toshiro.Ishido-Kanbaku were actively assisting Naval Forces.
During the fight I engaged the dragon fighter and was separated from my comrades who took care of cruiser. Quite soon I managed to inflict critical damage upon the dragon's vessel. By that time, the cruiser was already dealt with.
Then I went to restock and repair my Chimarea, as well as modify the callsign transmitter to meet the new standards.
Once it was done, I undocked and was called by Chûsa Kokori to resume patrol. We headed to Kyushu and were accompanied along the route with Hogosha member [|]-Motoko.Kusanagi.
Our patrol was not in vain. We spotten a Blood Dragon gunboat near a lane. Detailed scan revealed the presence of escape pods of KNF and civilian pilots in its hold.
Chûsa Kokori demanded Dragon to hand over the pilots and leave the system. Blood dragon complied without much hesitation and this incident was resolved in a peaceful manner.
My superior officer was concluding the patrol at this point. It was also near the time to conclude mine.
I went back to New Tokyo system, patrolled a full circle around the lanes and finally landed to New Tokyo to deal with paperwork.
