That couldn't have been known then, because when I tried to stop the ship which had already taken Hanako-Taisa from Kyoto, the traffic controller responded to me with, and I quote, "Sorry, it's not our business to interfere with the Nepleslia cargo industry" upon my inquiry as to the ship's release.
I don't know what reports you recieved from Pisces, but from what we saw and were told, they never had any intention of stopping that ship to begin with. From what we can tell, they "coincidentally" undocked it immediately upon my giving the order to inspect it.

Also, we had asked for information on the various ships, which they refused to divulge.

Should we have shut down the station entirely? Perhaps, but the Taisa's kidnapping was classified, and we were operating under orders to not reveal that information. We had no unclassified reason to give to the staff to shut down Concourse D or Kyoto Spaceport.
If I operated in any incorrect way which I am failing to see, I apologize. What I can say is that the XO, myself, and the crew did everything we felt possible at the time. I do confess that I was the one handling the footwork at Pisces Station to get this done, and any shortcomings there which are not accountable by Pisces' Staff are likely mine to bear.
Though the Taisa is safe, I can't help but feel that this should have been stopped cold at Pisces. I honestly believe that Pisces is guilty of gross wrongdoing, though if you feel I am also responsible, then I guess I may be. I was the one who failed to recapture Hanako-Taisa from her initial kidnapping to begin with anyway.
