Dear Uncle Takashi,

I am writing to inform you of the status of our operations in the United States. It is my pleasure to report that the principal mission has been a success. We infiltrated the base of Area 51 undetected and retrieved the aliens. Agent Molina assisted us and delivered the payment for our involvement as per our agreement.

The aliens were delivered to Agent Moore and her team. Before completing this mission, three of our members were dispatched to Oregon to escort Matthew Brooks to the rendezvous location. Along the way, they successfully captured Luca Riva, a member of the society known as the Keepers of the Hours. He was handed over to Agent Moore's associates. We were compensated for this mission as well.

This brings me to the matter at hand. I am sure that you are wondering why we have not returned home yet. And the reason for this is because I signed another contract with Agent Moore. Two days after the completion of the principal mission, Agent Molina and Chris disappeared. We had reason to believe that the Keepers of the Hours had something to do with this given information we obtained from Matthew.

Our suspicions were confirmed by Luca during his interrogation. He revealed that their main target was Agent Molina all along. Apparently, the philosophy that governs their society is Fatalism. They believe that Agent Molina's actions are ultimately harmful to the balance of the world. As such they sought to capture her to get prevent future time travelling from occurring. Joshua Porter was recruited due to his involvement with the mission.

We are in the process of tracking him down and, hopefully, we can also rescue Chris and Agent Molina. This is all the information that I can provide at this time. As soon as I am able, I will send you another update. Once we have successfully completed this mission, we will be returning home. I apologise for the delay, but I felt that taking this mission was the honourable thing to do.

Respectfully,

Daisuke
