In view on Daumanns notification on a possible Niobium-contract, the Hokori has been send to Java Station in Tau-23 to obtain some Niobium to be shipped to Leipzig Station in Dresden.
Travel to and from Java station was uneventful, however, on the way to Rheinland when we entered the New Tokyo system, escort pilot Hideo Matsumoto warned me about hostile mercenary activity in the system. We decided to take evasive manoeuvres and left the standard route to avoid an encounter. Meanwhile Matsumoto-san stayed in scanner range to the mercenary to distract him but without getting into combat.
When we reached Honshu via emergency-path kiui, we decided to stay cautious and continue with ringo until we reached Sigma-13.
From there on everything went along the standard-procedures until we reached Leipzig Station and delivered the package.
Summary: Delivery was successful and the honourless Shinobi-mercenaries once again proved their incompetence at interrupting Kusari trade despite outnumbering my lone escort.
Signed,
Daigo Hayato
