Daii Tanaka Masa, reporting in. Temporary reassignment to Battleship Myoko for new duty: border patrol. En route to Myoko I detected an automated emergency signal in the New Tokyo system broadcasting from comm ID Itakura.Ayane; reported oxygen levels dangerously low. All of my attempts to contact the ship failed.
While unable to detect the ship on my short-range scanners, the automated signal broadcast map coordinates; however, as much as I travelled immediately to offer assistance there was no ship at the broadcast location. I fear I could find no trace of the ship, and could do no more, thus I notified the KSP authorities at Roppongi that I would be able to assist them no longer, and the KSP took over investigation.
Arriving at Myoko to rest and refuel, initial patrols of the Kusari / Liberty border revealed no items of note, with only minor trading activity detected. Finishing the patrol, I returned to Myoko only to detect a Kiretsu signal near Deshima. Unfortunately, the ship, [Kirestsu]-Keisotsu escaped long before I could enquire as to its purpose.
