I started my patrol from Tsushima depot and headed to New Tokyo. Right at the gate I noticed a bounty hunter tagged ship, callsign EDGE|Heimdall, moving the other way. Simultaneously I received a private transmission from a Hogosha member Honami:Akamatsu, who informed me about that very same hunter and asked me to halt it.
I caught up with him at planet Kyushu, where I explained that hunters are not exactly welcome in Kusari, at which point he agreed to leave.
Unfortunately I had no chance to personally make sure that he complies and actually leaves, as at this point I and Akamatsu-san noticed a Spatial with council IFF frequency. Further scans showed presence of outcast weaponry. This ship passed me on lane and ignored my requests to stop, so we set for a chase.
We caught up with him in New Tokyo at Shinjuku station, where we disrupted all outgoing lanes and kept the vessel out of cruise. He wasn't responding to our questions and demands. We were seconds away from opening fire, when a couple of other ships, apparently affiliated with the Spatial came into range. One of them explained that this pilot has some sort of communication problems.
A lot of what that pilot said made little sense as well as their equipment and IFFs, so I assume they were having some technical difficulties and/or some disease affecting their pilots' actions. Either way, allowing unidentified ships with guns of our enemies fly though Kusari was not acceptable, so they were told to leave. They complied and departed to Taus.
I continued my patrol through New Tokyo and a round through Shikoku. Nothing worthy of mention: some transports of optronics which I questioned about destination and made sure they head towards Liberty.
After a while I was contacted by Chûsa Myuki Kokori, Daii Jiro Tachibana and Daii Hiro Barakuda.
We had reports of unauthorized vessels in Hiroshima, so orders were given to head there and investigate. My chimarea was first on site, yet I found nothing on my scanners. Other officers arrived after a few minutes. Not long till the unidentified vessel, a yacht Tarkan_2 appeared.
I disrupted him in Hiroshima, unfortunately triggering our automatic defense systems, which in turn made me take evasive actions so lose the trespasser from sight for a few seconds. Yacht was stopped again right next to Hiroshima JH in New Tokyo. Kokori-san issued a fine, which was reluctantly paid.
Daii Barakuda left us at this point. Rest of us proceeded with a patrol to Tau-23. No hostile contacts or unlawful activities were found.
We returnedto New Tokyo, where Blood dragon presence was reported by a passing trader.
We found the dragons, namely ]bd[Yanaka.Tyodoshi, ]bd[Teraku.Oshiro., ]bd[Heruya.Chiba. and freelancer Ozei.Ruousha: at Shinagawa station.
I had some minor technical imperfection to fix in my Chiamrea, so unfortunately I wasn't able to follow the communications closely, yet from what I overheard, that was a series of insults that resulted in a battle.
Freelancer's bomber was the first to go down, damaged by its own mine triggered by a disruptor missile.
