After several unsuccessful engagements in Bretonia, my last against Mariko.Kietan, I had been undertaking light patrol duties from the Yamaguchi.
I happened upon a barge of the Sirius trading organisation, and was attempting to escort the massive mobile station when Ozei Ruousha crossed my path.
I asked for the captive pilots and was led on the most extensive chase I have ever been in. It began with several laps of Tau twenty-nine and soon led to the dangerous fringes of Bretonia, including Dundee. Another tour of the Tau systems followed, and finally we arrived back in Kyushu. I learned of Ruoshas past experience as a Racer, skills of which were clearly demonstrated during the chase: If he had not stopped in Kyushu, I would have failed to catch him. He surrendered the Kusari pilots and we argumentatively discussed matters, including his choice of allies. I was surprised by this freelancer who I had previously thought of as an ignorant puppet of insane women. Blackbox
My patrols final act was engaging one Nereida Morales, an outcast, who was broadcasting system-wide of how he would destroy the rice industry. His inferior border worlds 'Dagger' soon suffered against Kusari ingenuity and then hit its own mine. Perhaps he will reconsider his ambitions. Takahashi Out.
