Someone had hurt one of his little girls.
What made it worse was that she'd not dared to tell him directly. He'd only learned because his favorite daughter, Akane, learned when Nabiki, his most successful, told Kasumi, the outcast of the family, and she went and shared the news with her youngest sister and Akane finally told him.
It had to be bad news if Nabiki was trying to keep it a secret.
Knowing she was recently involved in space travel, Soun wondered if pirates hadn't taken his daughter and raped her. Of course he was right, but that wouldn't help his temper any.
Moff Tendo was one person, Admiral Tendo was another. Akane might not have those roles, but he felt he could rely on her to do what she did very well.
She was a bounty hunter, one of the very best, a former Imperial Army repulsortank gunner and secretly (not even she knew this yet, he did because of his connections at court and not even he dared to transgress the command against telling her) under consideration to be recruited as an Emperor's Hand.
It would help if she had enough Force sensitivity to hear the Emperor if he was not in the same room. But if that didn't work out he could always recommend her for training for a Royal Guardsman slot. There was nothing he wouldn't do for his Little Girl.
But for right now, Akane was at loose ends between assignments. He'd see if she couldn't be persuaded to take up a hunt for certain pirates.
