My artificial self took the initiative to pursue a concerning allegation raised by the Xenos' own Damien Moretti directed towards Pinnacle's Administrative Director, Zachary Graham. While the high probability remains that this is mere theater, we judged the risk of inaction too great to stand idle.
Therefore my artificial self is forwarding you all previous and future exchanges from both channels.

I startled my niece with my laughter.
That those who harbor Knight would level these specific allegations is quite funny, all things considered. They level them not because they care, but because they know that we do. We should bear in mind that, as you mentioned, this is clearly an effort to sow internal dissent. That is a trap into which we must take pains not to fall.
Nevertheless, reviewing records from the time, it does not seem as improbable as I would like to believe. West was Knight's right hand; that is not a position that allows a person to keep their hands clean, and we need the sole organic Exarch to have clean hands. Even the moral concerns aside, prejudice against artificial life means that our soldiers must believe there is an organic holding us in check. While inane, it is a crucial piece of internal human relations.
However, the moral concerns themselves are not aside. If she participated in the coup, she must be brought to justice as thoroughly as Knight herself. We have both practical and moral imperatives.
Furthermore, risking an Insurgency sympathizer within our innermost circle is just asking for another coup—and we would be the foremost targets. I can hear the cries now: 'Freedom from the Technocracy imposters,' 'freedom from the machines,' 'return the Tectarch to Lord Commander.' The Exarchy falls, and our entire movement is subverted to become a dictatorship once more. While hypothetical, it is likely enough to give me pause. She controls the Incursus, and after time in isolation her crew is likely highly loyal. My own defeat of Mark Kane's coup proves all too well the power of personal loyalty.
However, we must move carefully, lest we trigger the very scenario we wish to avoid. We need organics to support us, and we must find a trusted team to head the investigation and prosecution. Cristina Hunter would be an ideal candidate—I recommend we make an effort to find her, and quickly. We need the lower ranks who command the most loyalty on-side as well: Freud, Hideyoshi, Crowe, With, Struikas, and Carmine. Mori is already on-side for obvious reasons. It would be ideal if we could separate West from the Incursus in the interim, at least temporarily, lest she or her crew go rogue and take Commander Thastus's flagship with her. We must cultivate a level of loyalty to the movement on par with what she may have cultivated. I will also consider informational warfare amongst the Incursus's crew, but this should be a last resort, and should not be performed until we are certain beyond a reasonable doubt of our course of action.
