I am seeing some of these changes first hand. Let's just put it simple, with the imminent confrontation, every faction within Kusari's powerstructure begins moving on their own. The KOI is drafting up sensitive operations to the point that - and this is just a guess - none but the elite and most trusted agents are drafted for them. The Naval Forces Admiralty basically sleeps within the Shogunate Office by now. Discussing warplans up and down, I got to comment on some of them. The Hanazono Party is quiet, they're too busy drafting up viable ways to promote Shintoism after all. The Ninkyo Dantai are worrying about the economy, so they're drafting up contingency plans, redundancy mechanics, everything relevant to keep our delicate Keiretsu structures from not running dry in the worst case scenario.
And what are we doing over at Sunrise? Trying to keep an overview over all this. Add on top that Kishiro and the KOI divisions involved in the Drive Project are in panic mode and you can guess how my days are. Very long, very tiresome. However, this leak and working against its potential consequences takes priority. Employing Raven is actually the best option to keep her involvement controlled. She would wander off, do her own things and likely cause more trouble than use. Turning her into a part of Kansai's scientific network and having the KOI apply their strictest security measures on her work environment appears like the better alternative to me.
As for why you are not being deployed to any assignments whatsoever lately.. I will extend my feelers, see what I can find out about this. Though, I suspect it is related to me. Maybe I should request you as personal bodyguard, seeing as the KOI contemplated sending me one anyway after the attempt on my life in December. Don't worry, I won't step on their toes myself. Not more than usual.
I won't accept a no about figuring out the why, regarding your lack of assignments. Just saying.

There has been a high-profile assassination. I'd like you to check the access and security credentials in the databases of your holdings and estates, and deactivate any that have not been used in a long time.

Aya.
It is sweet of you to remind me. Don't worry about me.
I am aware of Admiral Okamoto's demise already. Irelei's security systems can't be compared to KOI or Naval standards. The office building was thoroughly checked already too, although the final sweep will have to wait for Irelei's return from New London. Which is why I am currently working from my estate.
The Summit appears to go rather well. Minister Kojirou departed early due to perceived severe security risks, I have yet to talk to him. Minister Kazu remains in New London and Irelei keeps her in check.. I hope.
You're involved in the ongoing investigation, right? Please be careful and come visit me if you find the time. I would like to double check something security related one of these days.

Irelei called. The Summit turned messy. Liberty brought up accusations supported by tangible evidence that the Roppongi terrorist attack is part of a massive cover-up orchestrated by Samura Industries. They're threatening severe economic repercussions capable of plunging the entire sector deeper into economic crisis than the past years already did. Admiral Okamoto's assassination was also leaked. The Kazu family nearly ordered a hit on the Libertorian delegates.
I need to talk to you in private, please. Soon. Very, very soon.

Should I give you my official statement? I can't confirm or deny my participation in the investigation. I practiced it a lot during my careet.
But, jokes aside, where do you want to meet up, Sanae-san?

Should I reveal what the official briefing stated about you then? Outstanding professionalism. Seems your practicing pays off? At my estate on Honshu, preferably. Drop by whenever you find the time, your biometric data is already in the system since quite a while. Hope you don't mind that.
