Interlude

It has been several days since we last made contact with unidentified forces here in Area 11. Darlton, Guilford, and the ASEEC have sifted through the wreckage that showed the symbols of the two factions operating within the colony, one bearing the red facial decal from the skirmish in Shinjuku, another bearing the purple facial insignia from the fight in the Yokosuka dockyards. The density and concentration of these groups have grown steadily over the past month, making me wonder how they managed to stay under the radar yet increase their military strength at the same time. I could very well have a war on my own doorstep.

From what I could see, patterns seem to emerge in which this unknown enemy is using our own ranks against us, the first was in the Narita operation where I commanded our forces to crush the JLF, only to find the tables turned after Zero's ambush against us. Reports of moles within the armies of our rivals have circulated throughout the empire, though they themselves never confirmed whether they encountered the same phenomena that we fought during the Narita and Yokosuka campaigns. I suspect there were others involved, though no evidence has been found as of yet.

What irks me is that even my closest advisers have looked into the issue, and they have founded no records within the archives of the supposed 'spies' that would indicate a secondary affiliation. To make things worse, not even a single scrap of information exists on these newcomers that kept popping up, making me wonder if one of these groups is behind the infiltration.

Due to the nature of the increasing threat of these groups, I have recently contacted Schneizel, and he has agreed to commit several of his contingents to aid us in maintaining order. The fight against the terrorist factions and private corporations would've never required the extra amount of troops to come over and bolster our military strength if it weren't for these interlopers. However, with the presence of the two unknown forces operating ever closely within our borders, I found it necessary to get as many troops as we can muster to combat these threats.

Our situation begs the question: why are they here? What stakes do they have over the control of Area 11?

Whether we stand a chance against them, even I do not know for certain. But, regardless of the consequences, we must prevail. The future of our people depends on it, especially to keep Euphie safe from harm.
