Bringing to your attention my report about our last patrol to Tau sector.
Three days ago I aboard of Destroyer Akisame, together with several escort wings, containing Taiyouji Jiro, Shizuku Yin and Tokataii agent "Kiyohime" have left Kyushu system in order to patrol Kusari borders.
Nothing unusual except of few pirates were spoted in Tau 29 and Tau 23 systems. As one of escort pilots said, the new singularity have openned in Tau 37, so using the moment we decided to check that rumour. By this time another Toketaii agent "Akuma" have joined our group.
In Tau 37 we very quickly found a new singularity, but before I managed to reach it and sent a probe, Akuma-san ignoring the orders to not jump have used that hole. It appeared to lead to Nagano system, and for the first moment Akuma-san said it was all clear. However when other forces reached the system, we got a distress signal from her, and her ship disappeared from scanners.
After a search we managed to locate the lost fighter. Most of systems were damaged, however the pilot seemed nervous when Akisame get in close. By the time rescue team reached her, she commited seppuku. But it appeared to be Sakura Akuma. We also found unconscious and bounded Akira Akuma in the cargo hold of the vessel.
Despite the attempts of my medics to revive Sakura-san, we couldn't help her. Akira-san was drugged as med expertise showed. In a while Akira-san woke up to learn about her sister's fate. Currently I transferred her to Yokohama for proper treatment, as well as body of Sakura Akuma.
