February 28

When I got up to give the news of the shooting in Sumida, I never imagined that I would meet with maybe the case of my life. In case this story turns out to be true, it will have repercussions throughout the country without a doubt, maybe even I will be seen as a heroine for having reported this to the people who live in this country, of how once again foreign forces tried to take advantage of us and how thanks to my work we were able to stop them. 

All this began when I reported for the news about the shooting in that Sumida neighborhood, where, speaking with the local people, they told me that everything happened in a house that had recently been completed. The owner of the house seems to be a foreigner from some Mexican province like Salvador or Colombia, but despite coming from that place she had money to have a decent home, which was strange. Obviously, this requires more research than just a story in the events section. So I decided to go further and investigate the owner of the house, and it was here that I found all this. 

To begin with, all I know about this woman is that her name is Adelis and it seems that she works for the United States or the Alliance, I really don't know. At least three times a week she travels to the Akasaka Press Center in Minato, which are offices of the United States Army, Japan, but with what happened in the continental war she could also be from another member of the Alliance. I don't have her full name, job title, or even what she does there. Since I have seen several members of the government go in and out of there on the days that she is here, I assume that maybe she is in charge of negotiating something with the government of Japan. I am sure that she obtained the land of her house illegally but that is not the point anymore It seems that the shooting near her house in the early morning of February 15 was between an altercation between her and her hitmen in the face of an attack from the ISC, according to a witness I asked.

Due to this little clue that they gave me, I decided to investigate even more what was happening, since it was not the first time that the I.S.C appeared in one of my investigations. The I.S.C in Japan was created several years ago, it was mainly in charge of the production of medicines and the medical research section of the company. It is thanks to its great initial investment that the I.S.C quickly became one of the most important companies in the country, and with the war in Europe that demand increased even more. When the continental war ended, the president of the I.S.C wanted to change the focus of the division of his company in Japan. He personally appointed as section chief Mr. Brandon, who is listed as a researcher and developer of military equipment. Mr. Brandon's accomplishments are currently classified as secret by the Alliance. This can only mean that this person is good at his job, his efforts in the Alliance were important, and that he is personally trusted by Mr. Raven.
