TO: EOD, Achkaerinese SCION Graft.
It has come to my attention that discrepancies exist between the copies of data provided by Agent Ryota of INIS and those provided by Rokkenjiman telecoms and ISPs. This is a discovery which has taken some time as the Agent in question held an exemplary record and, as such, was never under suspicion. As a cross-over from the Anauša, one of a select few, we must consider the potential that he is acting under the directives of Charles Ofdensen or a surrogate of CFO working toward his intentions, as the situation surrounding the Princess has not delivered the turmoil those parties desired.
I thus request that, publicly, the Empire of Daitō does not change course: we do not wish CFO or those working at his behest to become wise to this discovery. Privately, I relay my apologies for taking Agent Ryoto's work at face value; he's given no indications of disloyalty to this point and as such I had faith in his work beyond doubt. As we speak each of the 8 Anauša cross-overs are being interrogated and investigated to the fullest extent to ensure no more surprises lay before us from that angle.
Furthermore, only charges are inevitable, whether or not individuals are found guilty is a matter for the Courts to determine. As Rokkenjima has a well-established history of fair and impartial trials I am confident that only those who are guilty of the charges before them will, indeed, be found guilty. As there are always issues in translation for international markets I would not take these words to convey an opinion of the Courts that those charged are, inevitably, guilty.
I will keep you all updated on these developments and have authorised personally an extension of Daitō's communications keys for the duration of this investigation as to ensure our ability for secure communications are maintained. I would further caution my counterparts in Daitō that remnants of the Anauša may have crossed our border in the hopes of escaping prosecution for their treason. A list of individuals who we have not been capable of securing has been attached to this message, put good use to it.
