A Junker in an unusually well-tailored suit stands before a holographic recording device. He straightens his tie and clears his throat.
It’s not often that I get dressed up for this sort of thing, but this is a very important matter. To the ladies and gentlemen who are witnessing this recording, my name is Barret, and I am the Director of Liberty for the Junker Congress.
A few days ago I was in the Silverton asteroid field, just within range of Ouray base, when I noticed something peculiar:
A lone IND train heading towards Ouray with a cargo hold of nuclear devices.
Not only was this unprotected transport heading towards the Xeno base, but the Xenos present did nothing to harass it, possibly indicating some sort of agreement or alliance.
When I questioned the captain of the train, he denied working with the terrorists, but he did send a reasonable sum of credits to my bank account. I’ll have my bank send you the necessary statements if you need additional proof of the transaction.
Now unless the IND has taken to just giving out money, I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t pay a random Junker for nothing.
This next piece of information may not seem like much, but those familiar with ‘ambiguous gangster speak’, the message will be quite clear.
Basically, the cargo he’s referring to is the sum of credits he sent to my account. The collection services he mentions probably alludes to a bounty. Then at the end, he talks of heeding his warning; obviously a threat. I apologise if I appeared condescending when I explained that, but I want to make sure we all understand each other, as this is a very sensitive matter.
Once I returned to Rochester, I contacted the IND in an attempt to get a proper explanation. The man I got was one “Kenji Ryoto”. He explained that he had lost his “Chihuahua” (I’m assuming that’s Kusari talk for mistress, honor, or skirt) and was looking for it.
As for the nuclear material, he told me that one of their reactors had suffered a leak and so he was illegally carrying (he admitted that at least) the cargo in order to repair it. Funny, last time I checked, you don’t fix a reactor leak with more fuel. The full transcript can be found here.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I hope you can see that the evidence shows the IND is supplying the Xeno Alliance with nuclear material, and that you will act accordingly to put a stop to this.

Mister Barret, before we continue I'd like to point out that this event and anything related to it is now confidential under Liberty Laws pertaining a threat to National Security.
My name is not important, you may refer to me by my callsign Black Throne, I am an agent with the Liberty Security Force. And yes, this is very interesting. Your message has been received by the proper authorities and will be under investigation. A notice and reply will be given in due time, and I'd like to remind you again that any and all events, data transfers and conversations related to this topic are now strictly confidential.
Have a nice day, Liberty thanks you for your vigilance.
Ah, thank you for your speedy reply.
I'm very eager to see what will come next. Who knows how long the IND has been supplying the Xenos? Maybe they're the very reason the Xeno Alliance has managed to survive all this time? We're writing history right here.

Greetings, Barrett.
The Liberty Navy acknowledges receipt of your information and will keep a close eye on the Independent Neuralnet Division for the forseeable future. I'm informed that our brethren in the Libery Security Force are handling the investigation and so we will leave the finer details of the investigation in their hands.
While attempting to fly from New York to Colorado, I was interrupted by a group of Xenos at the gate on the Colorado side. We battled for a bit, but I figured wasn't going to be able to take them on and so I fled.
Before fleeing though, I managed to get a peek inside one of their holds. I spotted this.
An IND transport caught with nuclear materials in the vicinity of a Xeno base, now Xenos running around with plutonium? Seems pretty obvious that the IND are indeed supplying the Xenos with dangerous materials.
