Goryō of the Tokkeitai. I take it the sparsely detailed KSP report has already reached you. Admiral Goro Okamoto has been confirmed as killed by all Agents on scene.

A brief rundown of the events should suffice for the time being. Three yet unidentified intruders gained access to the estate via the pedestrian gate at 22:01 local time. Sub-Lieutenant Natsuhiko Nan was on guard duty and failed to notice the men in time, a fatal mistake costing her her life. Access to the main house was likely achieved utilizing her access card, however this remains unconfirmed from my side. The assassins left the estate five minutes later, suggesting awareness of the estates inner layout. Admiral Okamoto managed to wound one of the assailants, Agent Hiroshi collected blood samples. Wounds inflicted to the Admiral suggest all three attacked him, albeit the wounds inflicted by the wounded assailant were likely post-mortem. This assailants weapon is in my possession, a Detroit Penetrator.

CCTV recordings include salvageable stills of all three assailants' faces and copies were attached for your convenience.

The access codes utilized to open the pedestrian gate are the potential key to identifying the culprits; Lieutenant Commander Hyuuma Okazaki. Formerly part of the Admiral's protective detail until his disappearance during a skirmish in 825 against Republic forces. For reasons unknown, his credentials have never been deactivated in the estate's security system.

All three assailants are foreigners and the professionalism shown suggests this to have been carried out by intelligence services. The motive is uncertain, however given the timing the strike likely aims at destabilizing the situation with the Republic of Liberty further. Due to the Admiral's career track record, the most likely origin of this hit is either Gallia or Liberty itself. Order involvement due to Project Rebirth cannot be fully ruled out. 113th Hanta Iseijin involvement appears unlikely.

The sidearm will be investigated by my forces. Everyone tied to the maintenance of the estate's security system will be tracked down and interrogated. Agent Ayakashi also possesses the security terminal data logs, so I would suggest keeping her on the case. The Tokkeitai will investigate independently and share any potential new findings. Data exchange remains encouraged.

As this assassination directly impacts ongoing planning within the Shogunate and Ministry of Defense, Tokkeitai Contingency Protocols have been activated. Additional briefings in regards to the protocol will be released if deemed necessary. My assets were already dispatched to the remainders of the Admiralty to assess local security.

In remembrance of an old friend,
Goryō
