Venerable members of Kusari Kaigun.

We have to inform you about the situation in regard to IKN Komori as well as its rogue captain, Gunso Fujisaka Ki. The vessel has been apprehended in deep Sigmas, crew investigated in regard to whereabouts of Agent Fujisaka, commandeering the Ashikaga class gunboat. It turns out that Fujisaka Ki passed away during one of the Special Division patrols. The crew followed the last wish of their captain, whom has been of mixed Kusari and Sigmese heritage and gave his deceased body to The Crow Nebula.

The health analysis provided by the ship's medic provided us with valuable data in regard to Fujisaka Ki. Namely, the recent actions of the Agent seems to be related to mental health, mostly connected to the old age, as well as grief and depressive episodes connected to the recent events, only worsening the conditions in which Agent Fujisaka has been living, if not existing, under.

It is regrettable that the last weeks of Gunso Fujisaka Ki has been full of bipolar behaviors, which heavily influenced his situational awareness. It is very likely, and we agree with our own medical expert, that something, colloquially speaking, snapped in the old officer who lived through Kusari Empire's hardships and that trigger most likely was witnessing the massacred body of another high ranking officer during investigation.

We, Office of Intelligence, still try to work out some public statement in regard to the Gunso himself, given his long and loyal service for the Emperor, even in the darkest hours of Republican betrayal and Civil War, because we do not believe his unauthorized message in the name of entire Kusari should be the act condemning the entire flawless career ever since inception of Special 343 Dai Kokutai Division of Empire-in-Exile.

The last Neural Net messages might have been also influenced by the fact that Gunso Fujisaka Ki has been "that old guard" officer, to whom even joking comments about anyone in Kusari government could be immediately career ending within our society.

IKN Komori has been deployed to Tohoku where it shall be rechristened and repurposed for [KOI] needs, given it is one of the most advanced and most customized Ashikaga Class models available. Its crew has been dispersed across Tohoku and Nansei to help with other duties, and [KOI] Agents shall be assigned into the service into the newly acquired ship.

We hope this message finds you in a calm moment.
