Konnichiwa.


The last month I was re-assigned back in my transport since the fightings were few and small scale. In one occasion I was attacked by the so called Shinobi Agency. Fortunately I was close to Osaka, where I seeked protection. After this attack I returned to Planet Kurile to help in the defence of our holdings.

Yesterday I received intel that Samura transports might have been intercepted by the Gas Miners in Sigma-13, so I quickly launched and moved to help them. When I arrived in Sigma-13, the Samura ships had already fled and I purposefully let myself to be detected by the GMG forces around Naha. Shortly after that, I retreated near Helgoland Station. The GMG ships arrived some minutes later, however they didn't dare to engage me outside of Helgoland. This could be a helpful information for our transports passing through S-13.

They told me they were going to attack Planet Kurile and started cruising to the Sigma-17 jump hole. Fortunately, a fellow escort I contacted, Samura|T.Matsumoto, came in my assistance and together we chased the GMG ships. When the 2 hostile ships realized that we were closing fast, they turned around and prepared to fight us. Some minutes later 2 Shinobi mercenaries came in range and one of them engaged as well.

However, me and the honored Matsumoto didn't give up and we took one GMG ship down.

As soon as the unhonored mercenaries realized that the odds were still unfavorable for them, the second Shinobi entered the fight. However, our determination and love for the Emperor prevailed and soon the last gas miner was beaten down.

The 2 Shinobis were struggling to beat me and Matsumoto but after a lengthy fight, one of them was severely damaged and started fleeing to Theta.

There, probably an Ion Storm hit the fleeing shinobi and was lost after some seconds from our scanners. Being aware that they might call for reinforcements any time soon, I recklessly tried to finish the fight against the remaining Shinobi. But it was too late. Another mercenary jumped and aided his friend. Even though we still had chances to kill the damaged Shinobi, the possibility that his newly arrived ally would share nanobots with him, was high, so me and Matsumoto agreed to retreat.

So I covered the rear of Matsumoto and then I docked in Planet Kurile. I want to mention that it was an honor fighting alongside with him. My ship had moderate damages and within the next 3 days it will be in an operational status.

Sayonara,
