<P>
<P>ANTHONY STAFFORD: I'm glad, perhaps a bit surprised, that you received my message this swiftly. You've reached Wan Chai already?
<P>
<P>LANA ZAVICH: Correct. We're currently located in one of Yakedo's storage units in the area, very close to Tonnochi Road.
<P>
<P>AS: Good to know. Now, all of these details didn't really sink in yet. The MPS headquarters were hit by an EMP attack?
<P>
<P>LZ: Correct. The pilot of the chopper must have been one of XVA's undercover agents as well. Incidentally, the ruckus started not long after I discovered the JKL pattern from the Yumashev data. I'm quite certain that this also proves our suspicions about MJ12's knowledge about Yumashev to be correct. 
<P>
<P>AS: Indeed it does. No doubt XVA had infiltrated the MPS a long time ago, possibly way before they even concocted this plan of theirs. Any ideas on who might have been the mole?
<P>
<P>LZ: I always found the helipad guard a bit too cheery.
<P>
<P>AS: Heh, I guess it could be a start. But let's focus on that later, if necessary. So, you managed to slip away from the MPS and make contact with Yakedo?
<P>
<P>LZ: That's correct.
<P>
<P>AS: I'm sure he'll eventually understand how those material losses won't mean a thing once we've attained our ultimate goals. I understand you tried to access Ingram's infolink right away?
<P>
<P>LZ: Correct. We were able to trace his location to the airport near Shenzhen, but it disappeared as soon as the Airborne Laboratory took off. However, I'm glad to say we've successfully retrieved the destination of the plane.
<P>
<P>AS: Yes, keeping AIs in check can be very tricky... I assume it's heading for Vladivostok?
<P>
<P>LZ: Berlin, actually.
<P>
<P>AS: Berlin? What the hell, that's where MJ12's heart in Europe is... it must be related to something we're not currently aware about.
<P>
<P>LZ: Any ideas on what to do next?
<P>
<P>AS: I think I've finally figured out how to encrypt his augmentations and infolink, I think MJ12 should really work on that aspect a bit more. I've recompiled the code so many times and tried so many possibilities, but I think it's finally going to work - even if for just this mission. The timing couldn't be better, though, it turns out the gang in Queens isn't as strong as we thought. I think we'll succeed in rescuing Nadel as well.
<P>
<P>LZ: You think we have to dish out the truth to him this soon?
<P>
<P>AS: We may have no other choice. MJ12 has become uncharacteristically volatile due to these events. You may have to work on how you're going to tell the truth to him. From the data we currently have available, it seems like the initial augmentation process still hasn't fully taken in, leaving him very impressionable to other people's judgment. We have to make full use of that. But no matter what you, don't incorporate "because you're a puppet" into the conversation.
<P>
<P>LZ: Never gonna live that down, eh?
<P>
<P>AS: Heh, you know it. Back to the immediate subject matter at hand: I'm going to contact Jock, meet with him ASAP. He can't depart from his post opposite Chow's apartment, but I think you'll find his chopper more than necessary. I'll send you further details concerning our mission in Berlin once you've met with him.
<P>
<P>LZ: Understood.
