Konnichiwa,
The commander of the Hiei has personally passed on this transmission to me. A few months ago, a few "issues" arose regarding my position as acting XO of the Kirishima, mostly regarding documents that alluded to a bogus claim of Imperialist sympathies. I'll be completely cavalier about this, as I have "retired" from the navy and the entire commanding crew of the Kirishima has been replaced. The ship itself has perhaps been renamed. Instead I have taken on a position with the security division of the colonial efforts on Tomioka. I wish I could be of assistance, but I'm not quite sure of the fate of my vessel.
I have received no reports of any disloyalty from your command nor has anyone filed any official complaints to my desk. You should have informed me the moment these false accusations surfaced.
Accusations on the part of rank-and-file officers could easily whirl up old grudges and lead to a witch-hunt throughout the fleet.
Be that as it may, we will need to find replacement assets for the 7th fleet. Commanders of the Matsusaka, Yatsushiro, Lisuka, and Hisoyaka have failed to present arms. We are investigating their disappearance.
