Guild's Private Archives

[Orin]

I'm going to keep this rather brief.

I have been designated as the head of the our security division for some time now, and I have gotten to know all of the brave men and women in our forces very well. You're an excellent group of people, dedicated to the preservation of our company and the safety of our people. Which brings me to my point.

My state of mind has not been what it used to after the Niigata episode, and while I don't believe my effectiveness in the field has diminished, I know for a fact that my availability has. I'm forced to carry out shortened shifts and do not have the facilities to lead this great division like I should. For this reason, I am left no option but to resign.

In light of the developments on the Aomori, I know that now is a crucial time in putting out warriors in the proper hands. Mine are no such thing. And it is my great honor, on behalf of the Guild Masters, to promote Lieutenant Taro Katsuo to the position of Security Supervisor.

You're an incredible pilot, Taro. And an even more incredible person. I know you'll do the job proud, and lead our forces to victory over those demons on the Aomori.

I will continue to to stand as an aegis of the Crow, defending our people and establishments. And have no doubt, I will show those bastards no mercy come the battle with the Phantoms. By no means do I resign from my commission to fight for the GMG, I simply place myself in a position better suited to my circumstance.

Congratuations, Taro Katsuo. Do us proud.
For the Guild!
