As you know tensions have recently escalated between us. The incident in the Kepler system is a regrettable symptom of our fractured intelligence agencies. Since the sundering of our forces in the Gallic offensive, our intelligence agency shattered. Each shard followed its own agenda, and some formed their own cells, independent of our Ministry Of Defence.

If I may speak frankly: personally I am well aware of the strength of Liberty forces, and know how foolish it would be to incur its wrath. I do not want another war with our neighbours, I have seen enough death for ten lifetimes and am concerned with internal threats as well as those we share, such as the Rogues.

I thought it best to warn you of this addition to the current problem, and assure you that we are doing all we can within our House to dissuade the cells and diffuse their plans. I hope that you can understand our predicament and appreciate that these men are not acting on behalf of Kusari, arigatou, thank you.

Apparently there are at least two wings working independently of each other: 'Kitsune' wing and [color=#FFCC99]'Umisachihiko' wing.
The recent assassination attempt was allegedly the work of Kitsune.

Trained as they are in stealth, and severed from our networks even this scarce information could be misdirection. Much of what I hear is but rumour, educated guesses based on out-dated information and conjecture.
