As i am not that experienced in these situations i may not be able to evaluate this correctly.
However, as you have offered it, i will tell you what happened.
During a flight through Tohuko to reach the Nagano Jumphole, i've encountered the said group approximatly 10 clicks away from Tekagis former fortress.
I would have silently passed them, if i wouldn't have scanned them to see that they had a few brothers captured.
Naturally, i asked them to hand them to me.
Sadly, they rejected my question at first, stating that our brothers would have attacked them without reason, which of course cannot be the truth.
Luckily, they decided to hand them to me a few minutes later, as I couldn't have done anything to free them at this point due to beeing outgunned and outnumbered by their two Gunboats, one Hathor and one Claymore, as well as an Eagle Fighter.
I have brought them back immediatly to Kyoto, currently they are within the hospital.
While speaking these sentences, Taro hands a datapad to Ikeda, showing two images: 1 2
(linked due to beeing oversized if not)
In a brilliant tactical movement, i charged backwards.
