This is an emergency transmission from Manhattan communications relay 171-A.
I was stopped by Liberty Naval vessels while approaching Manhattan orbit and upon inquiring upon the nature of the stop I was informed that Director Kaido-sama was in a critical condition aboard one of the naval vessel after an attempt on his life.
No further information is available at this time.
As I have no medical training I thought it prudent to not interfere and instead directly work towards sending this communication to alert Samura.
That is very disturbing news indeed! Do you know what has happened? Or what vessel he is aboard? I will contact Shinjuku and Yokohama immediately and relay this message.
Konbanwa Director Kiyoshi-sama.
I do not yet have any more information to share other than he is currently being housed upon the vessel LNS-Arbitrator.
I believe the area is being treated as a crime scene.
I have questioned the officers present and it seems that an attack was carried out upon Director Kaido-sama by two Kusari vessels, one was a destroyer class the other is as yet unidentified.
Apparently they claimed that Kaido-sama was a traitor before opening fire, they heavily damaged the vessel, injuring Kaido-sama and Liberty representative, Cpt. Rachel Baker.
I shall turn over the communications log for analysis.
