I hope you don't mind me skipping the formalities.
I am well aware that my request appears unusual and may be interpreted as violation of standard protocols. However, due to the current reality within Kusari there is a distinct requirement to pursue any sensitive leads provided. An anonymous tip off of rather vague nature paints a potentially very problematic picture about one of your assets, namely the IKN-Komori. My request is simple: Everything your databases have about the vessel, including whereabouts and commanding staff. I would prefer to validate or rule out suspicions raised by the source prior to submitting a case which may very well be relevant to national security.
In service of Kusari's people,
Prime Minister Miyasu

Prime Minister,
Always a pleasure to hear from you. I do believe you received a package outside your door. Consider it a "Get-well" present for the incident at Galileo. It should answer your questions.

Agent.
Your courier is lucky to possess common sense and drop off the package at the front gate only after announcing who he was. Don't drop packages unannounced, alright? I understand the idea to keep data off the neural-net and already instructed an.. associate to go through the data in an isolated environment. It appears the source wasn't far off with their hunch. Tread carefully around this case, Agent.
I appreciate the small update on the investigation too, though I'm sure the KOI won't require my interference to solve that case. I would rather not have to worry about everything myself.
In service of Kusari's people,
Prime Minister Miyasu

Vessel previously ERROR CORRUPT DATA FILLING GAPS WITH OTHER SOURCES in service of 343 Dai Kaigun Tokkeitai, then KOI officer, Fujisaka Ki (multiple medals for valor during Tau Wars, Gallic War, Kusari Civil War, one Blood Dragon special merit for joint operation against Republic of Kusari, three Bretonian Intelligence Service merit for Joint Allied Cooperation,) Achieving rank of Gunso, as Agent Fujisaka, he operated on IKN Komori during multiple joint operations in Deep Sigmas, Omicrons, After IKN Komori being refurbished with experimental cloaking device it was sent for Galileo border protection, however has been sighted inside Liberty borders multiple times. During that time Agent Fujisaka has joined Chochinbi Special Division and further career has been unknown.
A small excerpt from the files suggest that at some point IKN Komori went into Deep Sigmas again where Agent Fujisaka has passed away and his crew gave his body to The Crow Cloud, as part of the traditional GMG burial as requested, seeing the GMG as his heritage and dearest ally to the interest of Kusari . When it comes to the crew, they have been officially moved to Nansei and Kure Shipyard after IKN Komori has been recalled to Heaven's Gate.
Unofficially, they were most likely present during the "accidental" air lock error, exposing their bodies to the extreme pressures equal to those inside deep oceans, while awaiting departure from Heaven's Gate. The events seem to be unrelated to the course of action, but it is pretty likely KOI is put into extreme strains as organization having less and less operational freedoms due to new IAF machinations and Shogun's machinations.
At the same time, it is very likely that KOI might not be even aware that IKV Ashigaru class, except for a very few limited officers. Chochinbi databases are unaccessible. The officer knowing the most is Agent Takazu, although not to the official sources but more about his ship's logs he has been uncovering so far.
Possible contact with third element possible, although the Alien origin is very unlikely.
If you ever see me Disconnect, I am not escaping interaction.
My internet decided to die on me and I shall be back promptly!✀ Also, if I'm not back for a longer time the internet really took some time off (blame the ISP).
