A short but eventful patrol today.

First, I was making a routine check of Honshu tradelanes in my fighter when I spotted a corsair IFF'd Artificial Intelligence Core Cruiser-class vessel leaving from planet Honshu towards NT gate. I immediately docked my fighter and launched an Umibozu, which is more suited when dealing with capital ships. The AI was intercepted in New Tokyo, near Honshu gate.





System_Overseer_22 did not seem to be able to communicate at first, transmitting only static over channels. A bit of antimatter on its shields after a few warnings seemed to open up its communication software and it was able to partake in a limited conversation. Its destination was Tau-23, apparently with aim to hunt outcast ships.

I could not allow it to proceed through Kusari core space, so I demanded it to leave either back through Honshu the way it came, or to Hokkaido, where it could proceed to outcast systems. It chose second and I took the duty to escort it out of New Tokyo. However, it chose to waste my generous offer and took a lane to planet New Tokyo instead.

It was a mistake, a fatal one. Once I got in range again, I informed the AI of its mistake and opened fire. Soon, due to its poor armor and lack of repair equipment, as well as thanks to assistance of Gopnik| tagged Hogosha gunboat, the cruiser went down.



Right after that a well-known smuggler, Sava' got in scanner range.It was carrying blood diamonds. Even though they are not considered contraband in our space, the very presence of said smuggler in our capital is an offense. I ordered to drop the cargo and leave the Kusari space. Surprisingly, my demands were met.



Lastly, I came across a freelancer, M'ir, carrying H-Fuel. The captain was very cooperative and, after I explained him our law, agreed to sell its cargo on Yokohama shipyard. The fact of selling is confirmed.

Signed,
