Two Shinigami who were listed by Ukitake-soutaichou as accomplices in the assault/kidnapping of Ise-fukutaichou and Yadoumaru-san have been apprehended today in the Fourth Division. They have been detained and are awaiting trial along with the other conspirators. Both unseated officers were fairly cooperative, and willing to offer more information in the hopes of a reduced sentence.
They admitted to stealing the spirit tranquilizers used in the attack from the Fourth's storerooms, and divulged the name of another collaborator (a seated officer with access to restricted supplies), who has also been taken into custody. Further investigations will be conducted pending said officer's questioning.
{To all members of the Fourth Division, locked to Gotei 13 officers and allies}
Today, three members of this Division have been imprisoned and removed from active duty, possibly permanently. This is due to their involvement with the assault on Ise-fukutaichou and Yadoumaru-san. I feel the need to reiterate a previous statement concerning our Division.
We are healers. As such, we must always be able to set aside our personal prejudices in order to treat patients and save lives. That isn't simply our job, it's our duty.
Those of this Division who have been identified as involved with the attack are divulging more information concerning their accomplices. If anyone else from the Fourth is implicated, they will also be removed from duty and tried. Leniency might be extended to those who turn themselves in. To those who do not, no such offer will be made.

These last few days have been incredibly stressful. The attack and the kidnapping, plus not being able to hear from Itegumo or go into my inner world... I was relieved to hear I wasn't the only one, but that didn't help me when I needed to talk to my Zanpakutou and wasn't able to reach him.
Knowing that some of my own subordinates... people I've known for years, could be capable of even aiding such a crime... it's shocking, and really rather hurtful. And they even admitted to having had a hand in vandalizing my doors.
I'm glad that Yadoumaru-san is back safely, and I do feel terrible for them, but what can we do to help them when we don't even know who's really on our side?
