This message is coming from the Section Nine general headquarters.

It is my regret to inform you that previous overseer, Ayakashi Todo has taken his own life. Because of this, the current administration has seen fit to place Section Nine in charge of all Kempeitai operations inside and outside Kusari Space. We are currently collating the dossiers of the previous administrations.

There has been a significant lapse in communication between our HQ and field agents. Therefore, all active agents and cell leaders are to respond on encoded channels with their name, call-sign, and current assignments.

This includes all former Doku Hebi pilots, "independant" cells, and undercover agents, but does not include Naval Forces ([KNF]) Tokketai units. They are administered by Combined Fleet.

Any agents which do not respond to this communication who have not already been accounted for will be assumed to be compromised, and scheduled for liquidation. No exceptions will be made.

Please respond in this channel only, and provide:

• Callsign
  
• Ship Type(s)
  
• Current Location.
  

That is what I want to know. You're the first member of Doku Hebi to be accounted for. I cannot be sure of the intentions of anyone else, aside from fellow members of Section 9.

Regardless. You are temporarily to recall from Ames research station. Gather whatever information you can on your way out. Your task is to proceed to Narita for debrief, then you will proceed to the Tau-29/Tau-23 region of operations and await further instruction.

If you can get in touch with any other Doku Hebi agents, redirect them here. We will reform the squadron as it was previously if possible.

Agent Mizuki.

You are to continue with your current assignment as prior. You will be contacted by one of our agents for a debrief. As your vessel is capital class, I will require it's name, please.

Other then that, carry on your mission. We will take receipt of a full report when it is over.
