This is a Network Transcript/FAQ for the game, Front Mission 3. The Network in Front Mission 3 is just like the internet. The user can use it to receive/send mails, download stuff, buy online, and gather information. This transcript has the information found in the game's network. It has the history of the Front Mission world, timelines, character info, organization info, list of downloads, current events, etc. Be aware that not all the information in here appear at one point in the game. Some articles, especially the topics in some web sites, change as the game progresses. The articles are arranged chronologically here in this transcript. Some parts differ in the two storylines (Emma & Alisa). Some web sites are available in Alisa version but not in Emma version. And some are only available in Emma version but not in Alisa version. There are also web sites that get shutdown later in the game. I was only able to transcribe almost everything because I have a save collection for both storylines. Yep, almost. I may have missed some articles. If you know something missing in this transcript, please send it to me at my e-mail address or at least inform me what I'm missing.

Web Sites Transcript ������������������������� ############################################################################### #[1] JAPAN # ############################################################################### ################## #[1.1] Government# ################## [jg1] Japan Defense Force (JDFORCE/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN) TOPICS 1: New National Defense Plan: Sasaki While many people think the stability of the Pacific rim region improved with the establishment of OCU, in reality, we are still surrounded by unrest. I propose the JDF adopt a policy of active defense. With active defense, during times of emergency, we will protect Japanese citizens living abroad until they are safely brought back to Japan. We will also strengthen the army to deter other countries from invading our territory. By combining these two aspects, we can preserve a peaceful and prosperous future for Japan and the OCU. 2: Explosion at Yokosuka Base The following has been confirmed regarding the explosion. The explosion took place in warehouse 21 where emergency fuel was stored. While there is a possibility it was a terrorist attack, the fire seems to have started from the switchboard near the entrance. If the incident turns out to be terrorism, it is a heinous crime to destroy the fuel stored for citizens. The JDF is resolute in its effort to protect the citizens, never giving in to acts of terrorism. 3: Yokosuka Base Terrorist Group Found An international terrorist group was found responsible for the explosion in Yokosuka base. JDF intelligence, in joint effort with the police, found the terrorist escaped by using illegal military wanzers to counterattack. The escaped terrorists. including some foreigners, took a trailer truck and are still at large. We request the citizens of Kanto and Tokai areas to report any suspicious trailer trucks to the police, the JDF, or this web site. 4: OCU Troops Dispatched to the Philippines Due to growing rebel activity led by the former vice president, public order is quickly deteriorating in the Philippines. The OCU Congress is debating full-fledged intervention by dispatching ground troops to the area. The JDF may consider a similar plan. This will protect Japanese citizens in the Philippines and also ensure safety in Japan by defeating anti-government rebels who spawn international terrorism. We are obliged to take this measure to ensure your safety. We hope that the disputes are resolved soon. The proposed plan includes a landing ship and some escort vessels. as well as one ground squadron of armored vehicles. 5: Explosion in Batangas It has been confirmed that the explosion in Batangas, Philippines was not nuclear. Although a huge fireball and tremendous shock waves were observed, the OCU troops confirmed no trace of radioactivity. Please do not be concerned by this development. The casualties caused by the explosion are severe. No word yet on whether the explosion was caused by the DHZ invasion force. The DHZ claims that the explosion was caused by the OCU forces, but we assure you that this claim is false. 6: Emergency Notice We regret to announce a coup led by an extremist faction of the JDF. The coup is being led by Colonel Isao Takemura. Several JDF units are now engaged in battle to control the coup forces. We express our deepest regret that such misconduct has occurred in the JDF. We promise to have the situation under control promptly. While we will not declare martial law, we ask that you stay home and avoid unnecessary travel. We expect to have the coup forces under control soon. 7: Emergency Notice DHZ troops have invaded Ocean City. JDF troops stationed in Ocean City is hard pressed to hold off the large numbers of DHZ troops. We are also concerned about the possibility of DHZ sabotage operations nationwide. We are forced to declare martial law, which includes a nationwide nighttime curfew. We must warn you that no compensation will be made for civilian injuries that occur at night. ORGANIZATION The JDF is controlled by the Defense Minister, who is selected by parliament. The picture shows the organizational structure of the JDF. Download?

We are devoted to peaceful cooperation with other OCU nations. The cultural diversity and historical backgrounds of each individual nation must be respected. The future is uncertain. It is difficult to foresee how the diplomatic environment surrounding us will change. We will do our best to build a society in which diversity is accepted. Proceed to "Topics" for updates, "Danger Overseas" for traveling abroad, or "Current Diplomatic Conditions" for an overview of diplomatic negotiations. TOPICS 1: Our government is working to advance cooperation with OCU forces, including dispatching the JDF in case of emergency. Current conflicts within the OCU make security difficult to maintain. We must give highest priority to diplomatic negotiations. Violence in anti-government is rising. Calls for aid from the hardest hit areas are growing more desperate. The stability of OCU is the basis for peace and development in our country. We hope that our effort contributes to a stronger OCU. We are preparing a proposal for greater cooperation. your opinions and comments are greatly appreciated. 2: The news is reporting a possible link between DHZ forces and the terrorist bombing of the Yokosuka JDF base. The suspects have not been identified, and such conjecture will only alarm the citizens. We expressed regret to the government of Da Han Zhong concerning those reports. We are also increasing security at the DHZ consulate. We urge all citizens not to be misled by any unsubstantial reports. Anyone with information should contact the nearest police station. 3: The recent dispute between Da Han Zhong and the Philippines over offshore oil fields was settled after the withdrawal of Da Han Zhong forces. Although some news sources attributed the withdrawal of Da Han Zhong to a massive explosion that decimated their army, this is not confirmed. Da Han Zhong and the Philippines are remaining silent regarding this incident. The dispute caused major damage to the city of Batangas. An official request for aid was made to Japan by the Philippine government through the OCU Congress. In response, our government will send an emergency relief team. The OCU Congress will denounce the DHZ's role in the incident. 4: The JDF confirmed recent reports that a USN fleet has entered Japanese waters and requested a formal complaint. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs filed the complaint through OCU Congress, requesting a swift withdrawal and apology from the fleet. USN spokesperson Stephanie denied the request, claiming that the USN fleet is here to relax military tensions in Asia. The USN also intends to strengthen their fleet preparation for any large-scale conflicts in Asia. Our government will file further protests and request a possible dispatch of a comparable fleet by the JDF. 5: As the dispute between the DHZ and the Philippines settles down, a terrorist organization, the Hua Lian Rebels is showing signs of activity. Skirmishes between the Hua Lian Rebels and DHZ forces have spread across the nation. We have confirmation that the DHZ is in a state of civil war. All Japanese citizens remaining in the DHZ are advised to report to their nearest embassy or consulate and leave the region immediately. Our government will dispatch forces for rescue operations, and has requested that the DHZ government and the rebels not attack them. We are also consulting countries in the region to discuss the best way to provide humanitarian aid. 6: The invasion of Okinawa Ocean City by DHZ forces is being registered by the defensive efforts of the JDF. The DHZ government responded by saying that they were merely trying to capture the Hua Lian Rebel leaders hiding in Ocean City. However, there is no evidence of rebel leaders in Ocean City. We conclude that their objective is to annex the underwater resources of the region. Our government is ready to deploy elite divisions to support the Ocean City troops. However, we will also continue to negotiate with DHZ for a peaceful resolution of this matter. OVERSEAS DANGER (MFADANGER/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN) 1: OCU Philippines (1) Political unrest in the Philippines has led to decline in public safety. The rebels, led by Vice President Bamarm, are becoming more active. We advise against traveling to areas south of Panay, due to rebel activity. There has also been a rise in terrorist attacks in Manila and other major cities. 1: OCU Philippines (2) The DHZ's invasion of Luzon is causing further deterioration of safety in the Philippines. Travel to the Philippines is now prohibited to Japanese citizens. A recall order for all Japanese residents is currently under debate. Please await future announcements. 2: People's Republic of Da Han Zhong (1) It appears that public order in the DHZ is relatively stable. The crime rate remains low. However, there are unconfirmed reports of rebel activity by the Hua Lian Rebels in Guangzhou and Fujian prefectures. While there have been no reports of rebel attacks on foreigners, please be aware of the danger. 2: People's Republic of Da Han Zhong (2) The activities of the anti-government organization the Hua Lian Rebels are escalating. The latest report indicate a number of cities in southern DHZ being occupied by the rebels. We ask that you refrain from traveling to the region, for a full-scale attack on the rebels by the DHZ forces is expected soon. 2: People's Republic of Da Han Zhong (3) Our government is breaking off diplomatic ties with DHZ, in response to their invasion of our territory. Consequently, travel to the DHZ will be prohibited. We ask all Japanese citizens residing in the DHZ to evacuate to a neutral country or report to the local embassy. 3: Southwest Africa The public safety in Southwest Africa is extremely poor. Robberies and murders are frequently reported. Many of the crimes target foreigners. Please use extreme caution if you must travel the area for business. In addition, there are reports of malaria outbreaks in some regions. Please take all possible precautionary measures before traveling. 4: Republic of Zaftra (1) The government of Zaftra reports that terrorist activities within the country are now under complete control. We are lifting the travel restriction to Zaftra in response to this announcement. However, please avoid traveling to this country unless it is absolutely necessary. 4: Republic of Zaftra (2) There was a terrorist attack in Moscow, despite the announcement that the government had the terrorist under control. The organization responsible for the bombing announced their intention to continue terrorist activities. Another travel restriction to Zaftra is under discussion. Anyone planning to visit the area should use extreme caution. 5: People's Republic of Alordesh A news source reported that a group of rebels dissatisfied with Alordesh's new regime has commenced anti-government activities. We conducted an investigation into the matter but were unable to confirm the report. Therefore, we deem the country safe for travel. However, please keep your belongings safe from pickpockets in the area. STATE OF DIPLOMACY (MFADIPLOMACY/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN) 1: OCU Financial Aid (1) Our government is preparing an economic aid package to OCU countries suffering from poor economic growth. While the international aid budget for the 2115 fiscal year was reduced by 13 percent, we are trying our best to provide as much aid as possible under the current situation. The details of this economic support will be determined at the upcoming OCU Economic Cooperative Talks in Alordesh. 1: OCU Financial Aid (2) A resolution was passed to assist OCU member countries that are suffering economically at the recent OCU Economic Cooperative Talks. The major members of OCU--Japan, Australia, Korea, and Thailand--will deliver a total of 18 billion yen in economic aid to the Philippines, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Alordesh. Japan and Australia will donate the highest amount, 6 billion yen each. The economic aid to the Philippines and Alordesh is made on the condition that they take stronger measures against rebel activities. The aid package determined during the talks will be carried out by the end of next month. 1: OCU Financial Aid (3) DHZ troops have attempted a military invasion of OCU Philippines. While the Philippines asked for additional defense forces, increased defense costs under current financial conditions may lead to the bankruptcy of the Philippines, or a total collapse of Southeast Asian economies. However, reinforcing their defenses would contribute to peace and stability in the Southeast Asian region, as well as our country. As a result, part of the aid package to the Philippines is to be allocated to the Philippine military. The military aid will be carried out under OCU supervision in order to control weapon import/export and weapons of mass destruction. 2: Situation in the Philippines (1) Anti-government activities continue in OCU Philippines. Capital and manpower wasted in such disputes would be better spent improving the region's economy. Our government supports Philippine President Lacan's statement, "We will not ask for help from the OCU, as the problem is a domestic one." However, it is clear that continued rebel activities in the Philippines will further deteriorate their economic situation to our country�s economic loss. Our government declares that we are ready to aid in the peace negotiations. 2: Situation in the Philippines (2) Our government is sending humanitarian aid to the Philippine citizens injured in the failed DHZ invasion attempt. The use of a new weapon by the DHZ military cause massive casualties in Batangas and adjacent areas. The death toll is expected to rise due to deteriorating sanitary conditions. Currently, only minor medical assistance is available. Many refugees are flowing into surrounding areas. Our government has organized an international relief team. An advance team is already on its way, and the main team is scheduled to depart soon. 3: Dealing with Da Han Zhong (1) Japan and the DHZ have built an amicable relationship over the years through respect of one another's cultures. Maintaining a relationship between the two countries is fundamental for peace and prosperity. It is very important for Japan and the DHZ to continue cooperation in international matters. History shows that cooperative efforts helped to bring prosperity to both countries. We are resolved to strengthen our current relationship with the DHZ. 3: Dealing with Da Han Zhong (2) We express deep regret that the DHZ attempted to invade OCU Philippines, and we ask fir the immediate withdrawal of the DHZ troops. Early reports indicate that a weapon of mass destruction was used in the invasion attempt. This is an inhumane display of aggression. We are demanding an unconditional withdrawal of DHZ troops in the Philippines. To this end, Japan will continue negotiations with the DHZ government. Meanwhile, our economic aid to the DHZ will be reviewed. A delay in withdrawal will result in a discontinuation of aid. 3: Dealing with Da Han Zhong (3) In response to the invasion of our territories, we are breaking all diplomatic ties with the DHZ. We demand the immediate withdrawal of the DHZ military. Our government recalled its ambassador to the DHZ and advised all Japanese citizens residing in the DHZ to leave at once. All economic assistance to the DHZ will be severed, and exports and remittances will be prohibited. This invasion is an insult to the long- standing relationship between the two countries and an affront to international peace. While we will continue negotiations with the DHZ, we will be forced to respond militarily if the DHZ does not withdraw from out territory. 4: Relationship with USN (1) While the relationship between our country and the USN remains unfavorable, good relations are necessary for stability in the Pacific Rim . Therefore, we are working with the OCU to ease the tensions that exist with the USN. Measures include travel by USN goodwill missions, research groups, and civilian cultural exchanges. It is also important for Japan and the USN to cooperate in spreading prosperity worldwide. Our diplomatic policy is to continue working towards a better relationship with the USN for the peace and prosperity of the world. 4: Relationship with USN (2) Our government is examining the recent report of a USN operation over Taiwan. We are concerned about the deteriorating state of affairs in the region and the injuries to Japanese citizens that were caused by the operation. Another source reports that ships are gathering in the surrounding waters. While we regret this turn of events, we want to emphasize that all diplomatic efforts are being made to resolve the situation. 5: Schedule of Diplomatic Activities (1) Foreign Minister Kida is in the Philippines, meeting with President Lacan to discuss cooperative measures to discuss cooperative measures to deal with anti-government rebels. A goodwill visit to the USN is expected within the year. Ambassador Anzai is to meet with DHZ Foreign Minister Wang for economic cooperation talks. 5: Schedule of Diplomatic Activities (2) Goodwill visit to the USN planned within the year. An international conference on Spender countermeasures to be held in Tokyo next year. DHZ Ambassador Jiang and other DHZ diplomats departed in response to the DHZ invasion of our country. The DHZ Embassy and Consulates are to be closed. DIPLOMAT COLUMN 1: This month's spot/Germany Reported by Secretary Yamashita Here in Germany, there is a rumor of a strange monster named "Polvadinger." According to legend, it is a hare with horns and sharp fangs that understands human language. The beast was spotted recently around the Schwarzwald. Is it a hoax, or could it be a genetically engineered monster? We are certainly interested in the follow-up of this story, but it might be best left untouched! 2: This month's spot/USN Reported by Secretary Ebii A virtual beauty contest was held during the E5 convention in LA. The computer-generated beauties were judged on their appearance, behavior, and AI. The grand prize was awarded to Miss Lara Crowford. She was praised for her exquisitely human gesture of sneaking a smoke behind a bar center. Her creator, Mr. Nekotomu, is a Japanese citizen we can be proud of. 3: This month's spot/Thailand: Reported by Secretary Miura The floating market reappeared on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, after a 10-year absence. This event was to celebrate the anniversary of the Bangkok Economic Block, which later formed the OCU. As many as 300 small ships fully loaded with farm produce and flowers opened to a massive crown. Some people even fell into the river. 4: This month's spot/Mongolia: Reported by Doctor Haruyama The capitol, Ulan Bator, is a spectacular metropolis with skyscrapers. However, once you leave the capital, you can see nomads living in traditional fashion. While there is political unrest in the neighboring DHZ, it is quite peaceful here. 5: This month's spot/The DHZ Reported by Secretary Okita I enjoyed last month's article from Mongolia. While the unrest created by the rebels is true of rural areas, major cities such as Shanghai and Beijing have not been affected. There is no change in the safety of Japanese citizens residing and traveling here. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding. 6: Mrs. Reiko Kohno, Egypt embassy Although there is a doctor at the embassy, hygiene in the city is atrocious, and I'm concerned about my children's health. 7: Mrs. Kyoko Tazawa, Kenya embassy. I'm concerned about my children's health and education here. What can I do to improve it? BULLETIN (MFABULLETIN/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN) 1: MFA BBS 1 I am traveling from Singapore to Thailand then to Vietnam. Will I need a visa for each country, or just the first? (Kenichi Koide, Kyoto) For stays less than 6 months, you don't need a visa for travel within OCU. However this may vary by country. (Overseas travel information, MFA) Thanks to your reply. So I don't need a visa within the OCU region. Maybe I'll include Alordesh in my trip, too. (Kenichi Koide, Kyoto) 2: MFA BBS 2 I am going to Alordesh for business. Since I'll be staying for more than 6 months, where can I get a visa? (Haruo Yabe, Iwate) Please inquire at the Alordesh Embassy. If you are employed locally, you will need a working visa, but a temporary business trip will only require a general visa. (Overseas travel information, MFA) 3: MFA BBS 3 I'm scheduled to travel to Ghana, Africa in 3 months. What type of immunization shot do I need? (Wataru Nagata, Hokkaido) You are required to get shots for malaria and ebola-zaire. We advise you to get the first shot soon, since the certificate of immunization becomes valid only 10 days after the vaccination. (Overseas travel information, MFA) 4: MFA BBS 4 I plan to visit my relative abroad. Is it okay to take a Japanese web terminal as a souvenir? (Yoshimichi Noda, Shimane) You are required to declare the export of web terminals to countries outside of the OCU. Some high performance terminals require special permission, as their internal parts may be converted for use in wanzers. (Overseas travel information, MFA) Regarding the export of web terminals, there is no ban on any model currently in production. However, please be aware that some countries may charge a customs duty. (Trade control office, MIT) 5: MFA BBS 5 I am planning a driving tour of the DHZ from Taiwan, through the Futai tunnel across to Asia. Is there anything special I have to prepare? (Hisashi Onoda, Ishikawa) Please apply for an international driver�s license. Also be aware that there is currently rebel activity in the DHZ. (Overseas travel information, MFA) 6: MFA BBS 6 I've been living in Alaska for along time. I was wondering if I can bring Coco, a Kodiak bear, with me upon my return to Japan. (Naoko Hitotsubashi, Alaska) Under the Washington Treaty the Kodiak bear can be brought into Japan with export permission from the local government in Alaska. (Overseas travel information, MFA) The Kodiak bear must remain under quarantine for 14 days while we conduct a health inspection. (Quarantine division, MIT) 7: MFA BBS 7 I will be studying at the University of Zaftra. I will be there for 1 year. Is it okay to go on a tourist visa? (Kazumi Kato, Tokyo) Please apply for a student visa at the Zaftra embassy. You will need certification from your host university. Be careful of terrorist activities. (Overseas journey information, MFA) Thank you. I believe there are some of the world's most advanced research institutes over there. (Kazumi Kato, Tokyo) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [jg4] National Land & Traffic Agency of JAPAN (NTJ/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN) TOPICS 1: NTJ/This month's topic: Future of Public Works Public Relations Center We asked Head of Development Takeda about the future public works plans, criticized recently for poor management. Q: Why the insufficient support of urban facilities? A: We are now in the process of improving efficiency of all services. Q: Any plans for rural public works? A: We should change the paradigm of the urban and the rural, since the distance between cities has dramatically shortened. Q: Future plans for public works? A: We plan to follow Nagoya's example with the adoption of zoning to redesign the city. 2: NTJ/This month's topic: Report on Next Year's Major Public Works Planning Division Bay Area Redevelopment Plan/Hakodate Sendai Airport Environment Survey/ Miyagi Sendai Waterfront Development/Sendau Nishikoriyama City Construction/ Fukushima Nishikoriyama-Tohaku Expressway Construction, Nishikoriyama Subway Construction/Fukushima Nagano Nature Park Survey/Chiba New Urayasu Wharf Exhibition/Rinkai Co.

Previously used only for emergency shelter, the underground will soon be opened for development by new legislation. We hope that the passing of this legislation will solve the problem of scarce land resources in the city. PROJECTS 1: Koriyama NishiKoriyama City Construction Project Until now, the super-skyscrapers were designed for a single function, either commercial or residential. The Nishikoriyama City is an experimental building designed to function as a complete city. It will house business, residence and public facilities together. New construction methods solved the problem of supporting a floor space that measures 500m on each side. The construction is slated to finish in 2210. Our government regards this project as a model planned city showcasing improved efficiency and the beginning of decentralization. A rendered model of the city can be downloaded. [PW:SINTJ] 2: Tokyo Bay Tokyo Bay Development Plan The plan focuses on improving the transportation and expanding the commercial area surrounding Tokyo Bay. Projects include: the "Shin-Ohgishima Bridge" (completion in 2113) linking Yokohama and Haneda; the "Triple Bayline" automobile tunnel (completion in 2113); the "Trustliner" (service begins in December), a new train line. These will help ease congestion in the city. New cities are also being developed along the new transportation corridors. The "Sunfai Omori" in Ota ward, and "Ichikawa Finetown" in Urayasu are just two. These new cities will work toward improving the growth of the Japanese economy. 3: Nagoya Nagoya Sewage Treatment Expansion The construction of an underground sewage treatment plant in Nagoya was to be completed this year. However, the unexpected rise in the population has delayed the completion of the plant while it is expanded. The expansion will include: 3 processing facilities; a purifying facility; and connection to the current facilities. An increase in high-grade recycling will be achieved by the expansion of the underground facility below Chigusa Ward. Information on underground facilities can be donwloaded. [PW:WNTJ] 4: Okinawa Ocean City Construction An elevated highway passing over sub-blocks 32 to 45 of Primary Block 4 under construction. Completion in 2113. No.10 Wharf Expansion The No.10 Wharf housing Ishizawa Trading, Badacca Marine Transport, and Andas Enterprises is under expansion. PB 13 Maintenance Maintenance construction in the power generator of Primary Block 13. Please refer to the Ocean City Developers Corp's web site, (OCC/CORPORATION JAPAN), for further details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [jg5] Ocean City Development (OKINAWAOCD/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN) TOPICS 1: [Ocean City 20th Anniversary Festival] We are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Ocean City this year. Created as a world trade center, the city has expanded to several times its original size. The festival, sponsored by the government, was celebrated with the prime minister and OCU congressman. The 20th anniversary events started with the Ocean City International Marathon at the bridge that links Okinawa and Ocean City. In the Harley Memorial Event, a JDF team and the police team had an exciting match. The police team won with a new record. Other events include a classical concert performance by the Okinawa JDF military band. 2: Ocean City Mayoral Election The election of the Ocean City mayor will be held on the 11th of next month.

The Ocean City bridge and harbors are blocked, making it difficult to evacuate Okinawa. The DHZ military is progressing into the residential areas, and the Ocean City government cannot assure the safety of citizens remaining in these areas. Please evacuate to the nearest shelter. Connections to some blocks are currently unavailable, especially to the lower levels. We ask that you evacuate to upper levels. Evacuation does not ensure your safety. Please remain calm and follow the instructions of the police or JDF. VOICE OF CITIZENS (OCDBULLETIN/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN) 1: OKINAWA DB BBS 1 Masaki Takaoka (22) I'm a driver from Itoman. The water quality around Ocean City is deteriorating. Are you sure the city's water purifications system is functioning correctly? I'm very concerned. Okinawa Dev. Agency, PR Division We deny the allegation made by the media on marine contamination around Ocean City. The City's water purification system is functioning perfectly. Please refer to the engineering center of Ocean City Developers Corp. for any other questions. 2: OKINAWA DB BBS 2 Sadako Arima (31) I'm working at the Ocean City aquarium. A dugong gave birth to a baby recently at our aquarium. May I advertise a contest for the baby's name here? Okinawa Dev. Agency, PR Division Of course you may! Please think up a charming name for the baby. The winner will be awarded a commemorative gift. 3: OKINAWA DB BBS 3 Okinawa Dev. Agency, PR Division Our baby dugong has been named "Opi." It was named by Yasuharu Kishi(5), of Tokyo. Thank you very much for you numerous suggestions, a total of 30,000 were received. Opi thanks you all. Teruyaki Tadatora (54) I'm glad he got a cute name. I'll go see him next holiday with my family. I am already excited to see Opi. 4: OKINAWA DB BBS 4 Shigeo Takahashi (30) I heard that the explosion in the Philippines was nuclear. If that's true, it would affect the sea around Okinawa. Okinawa Dev. Agency, PR Division While no details are available, we confirmed that it was not a nuclear explosion. Therefore, the blue waters of Okinawa will continue to be a symbol of peace. 5: OKINAWA DB BBS 5 Miss Satake (20) I'm a student. Can you suggest something fun to do for a vacation? Okinawa Dev. Agency, PR Division Take a ride on the "Jet-sub," very popular now in Ocean City! It is a small jet-ski with an underwater cruise feature. Rentals are available. 6: OKINAWA DB BBS 6 Okinawa Dev. Agency, PR Division We are withdrawing from the Jet-sub business, as a result of manufacturer defects coming to light. Those involved have been penalized, and we express our sincerest apologies. -Marine Dev. Manager, Takadai Wataru Kaihara (19) Oh man! Maybe I'll change my vacation plans from Okinawa to Sulawesi. 7: OKINAWA DB BBS 7 Yasuo Minami (25) I can't contact my sister in Ocean City. Is it true that the DHZ troops invaded Ocean City? I can't get any information from the government or the news. Can someone please tell me what's going on out there? Okinawa Dev. Agency, PR Division The DHZ troops are in Ocean City, but they are not harming the residents. The citizens were evacuated into shelters while the JDF and our government settle the situation. Thank you for your cooperation. INFORMATION 1: Ocean City Municipal Laws 1.1: Special Residential Zoning Laws Ocean City is under different laws than Japan. The special residential zoning laws are an example. The laws work to provide you with the necessary living space and confirm your addresses. The outline of the laws is as follows: 1) Floor space limited by the number of household members. 2) Restrictions on living in dangerous areas such as power generator block. 3) Registration required for visits longer than 30 days. Contact the Ocean City government for details. 1.2: Special Corporate Laws Exemption from customs and the reduction of income tax and other taxes are applied more favorably in Ocean City than mainland, making Ocean City a desirable place for corporations to relocate. Since thee is a limit to how many corporations can move here, these special zoning laws examine candidate corporations and protect local corporations. The details of these laws are as follows: 1) Examination of finances. 2) Examination of profit distribution. 1/3 to half of the savings from reduced income tax should be re-invested. 3) Newly established offices must give priority to local employment. Contact the Ocean City government for details. 1.3: Special National Defense Laws The JDF is stationed in Ocean City to defend Ocean City and the entire nation of Japan. Residents and corporations are asked to cooperate with the JDF according to these special laws, as follows: 1) The JDF may appropriate equipment belonging to an individual or a corporation in an emergency. 2) In an emergency, the JDF will assume law enforcement duties. 3) Cooperation is requested if the JDF is dispatched to the OCU. The requests will be announced through the news, the internet, and the emergency broadcast channel. Contact the Ocean City government for details. OCEAN CITY GALLERY (OCCPHOTOS/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN) 1: A view of Ocean City Located in southern Okinawa, Ocean City is 5,900m long and 5,500m wide, the largest man-made island. Underneath the city lies a power plant that provides energy and also can move the city. The island is connected to the main island via the Ocean City bridge. 2: A residential place Ocean City residential areas consist of low-rise and mid-rise apartments. Streets are lined with many trees for people to enjoy. Essential services, such as medical facilities, are well maintained. Rent control ensures reasonable living costs. 3: The municipal assembly The city hall conference room, located in the center of Ocean City, is painted in blue to match the seas surrounding the city. Each city council member seat is equipped with an information terminal for quick research. Auxiliary equipment includes a TV relay for live telecasts. 4: The City government office building The government buildings are placed in the center of the island. Among them, the City Hall is the tallest building in Ocean City. It is equipped with the latest anti-earthquake measures.

We at the Japan Police Organization are devoted to keeping the peace night and day. We introduced the Wanzer Police Special this year to combat the rising wave of violent wanzer crimes. This new model is customized for police use, with bulletproof plating and special knee plates designed to protect officers around the wanzer. Equipped with a 50mm gun, the Wanzer Police Special can also enter close combat with ease. Performance is 40% up from the old model, and a 20% reduction in turn-radius means the new Wanzer Police Special is geared for urban combat. The new wanzers will be stationed in urban centers first, but look for them in every part of the country by mid-next year. Preview the new model at the Iguchi company website: IGUCHI/CORPORATION/JAPAN. TOPICS 1: The JDF has reported that a fuel depot fire caused an explosion at Yokosuka Base. An investigation into the cause of the blaze is currently underway. The police are interviewing eyewitnesses and making inquiries into the matter. Anyone with information should contact the police. Victims have been sent to the JDF Yokosuka Base Hospital, Yokosuka Central Hospital, Yokosuka Nagoshi Clinic, and Misaki General Hospital. Currently, all access to Yokosuka Base area has been suspended. Gas and electrical service to the area has been stopped. Contact local utilities to see when service will resume. Thank you for your cooperation. 2: We have received reports of an unauthorized vehicle carrying two wanzers in the Yokosuka Base area. A mobile police unit is investigating. There have been unconfirmed reports that the wanzers are armed. Please use caution when traveling in the following areas: Yokohama/Yokosuka Highway: Asahina Interchange, Kamariya Junction; Yokosuka Route 16: Funakoshi Intersection; Hayama-Zuyo Road: Nagara Intersection. It is unknown if there is a connection between the unidentified vehicle and the Yokosuka Base explosion. If you see suspicious people or vehicles in your area, contact your local police immediately. 3: Armed wanzers in the Yokosuka area disappeared after a few brief skirmishes with JDF troops. The vehicle used to transport the wanzers was found unmanned. It is believed that the suspects have already left the country. Inform police if you see anything suspicious. An explosion at the Shin-Ohgishima bridge has been confirmed. Wanzers were reportedly involved, and a connection to the Yokosuka explosion is under investigation. A team of 150 prefectural police is currently narrowing down the search for the escaped wanzers. While no civilian lives have been lost in this incident, those who have sustained property damage should contact their local government of housing office. 4: Recently, the "National Emergency Control Law" proposed by the Ministry of Justice was passed by the Parliament. This law upgrades police powers during a state of emergency following terrorist attack, armed invasion, or a large-scale disaster. There is no need for concern that this law will allow unchecked police activity, such as unwarranted surveillance or penalization of civilians. The implementation of this law requires full cabinet approval. This law is designed to insure the safety of our citizens, not to control their private lives. Please be assured, the police exist to serve and protect you, the citizen. 5: Currently, there are reports of a revolt within the JDF. Those individuals' actions are clearly illegal, and they will be severely punished. A special JDF division has been sent to suppress this internal uprising. The Japan Police Organization is not directly involved in this operation. However, please be assured that the JPO will deal harshly with any action that threatens the security of our nation's people. Local authorities will send evacuation instructions and aid to those civilians in the concerned areas. The current situation may change. Please do not misled by unsubstantial rumors, and remain calm. 6: Martial law is in force across Japan. Citizens are asked to observe local curfews, and not to gather in large numbers. Contact your local authorities for details. Be aware that public transportation is heavily restricted. Thank you for your cooperation under these difficult conditions. Always carry ID when traveling during daylight hours. Those without ID may be detained while their identity is verified. Anyone seeing suspicious vehicles or persons should contact the local police. Any change in curfew times or a lifting of martial law will be announced over standard video, audio, and net channels. SCHEDULED ACTIVITIES 1: Traffic Safety Week will be held again this year. Over-reliance on navigation systems has increased the number of accidents recently. This weeks events: -Primary school marching band parade. -Traffic Chief for a Day, with popular singer Megumi Suzaki. -Traffic safety course. The winner of this year's Traffic Safety Week Slogan Contest is Mr. Yukimoto Aojima from Yamagata Prefecture, with his slogan: "Waiting for your safe return." His slogan will be used on our official poster model, Officer Miho Shinjo of the Kanagawa Prefecture Yokosuka Police Office. 2: Starting next year, highway traffic laws will be revised in an attempt to reverse the growing trend of youth accidents. The following points will be amended: -Raise the minimum age for a license. -Psych evaluations for wanzer licensees -Prohibitation of gas-powered vehicles made prior to 2085. 3: During USN Secretary of State Kerwin's visit to Japan, the roads listed below will be closed. Schedules changes may occur without prior notification. Schedule - Day 1: New Tokyo Haneda International Airport--Miyakezaka Jct. Day 2: USN Embassy--Parliament. Day 3:Reverse of Day 1. 4: Future scheduling is on hold, pending resolution of the JDF uprising and Da Han Zhong invasion. Martial law has been declared for all regions of Japan. For a detailed explanation see "Topics." Citizens are asked to cooperate with local officials. CITIZENS' VOICES 1: JPO BBS 1 I understand that they have to find out about that explosion, but things are getting out of hand. Any why shut down the highway? People can't get to work. Please do something. (Yokohama - Yamato Sagawa)z To conduct a through search for the vehicles in this incident, every vehicle in the Yokosuka area must be inspected. We apologize for the inconvenience. (JPO Ombudsman) Help! Shipments are dropping daily! We're not getting enough supplies, and the prices are skyrocketing! How about letting a few supply trucks through? Please? (Yokosuka - Wakako Ishida) We are curtailing vehicle inspections related to the explosion incident in the Yokosuka area. This should lead to a smoother flow of traffic. (JPO Ombudsman) 2: JPO BBS 2 You guys think you can fire those guns anywhere you please, but what about us civilians? All those explosions nearly gave gramps a heart attack! It's just not safe. (Yokohama - Mitsuru Utsonomiya) Those patrol cars and helicopters are making such a racket I can't think, much less get to sleep. Is it legal for them to fly so low? Those far-off explosions are a little unsettling, too. (Yokohama - Akira Adachi) The JPO holds the safety of citizens as its top priority. While we are forced to use firearms in the apprehension of dangerous criminals, safety always comes first. The minimum cruising altitude for aircraft over a populated area is 1000 feet. However, these restrictions do not apply to some JDF operations. Please be assured that our pilots have your safety in mind at all times. We apologize for the concern cause by our joint military action with the JDF. We are currently looking into safety issues with regards to these activities. (JPO Ombudsman) 3: JPO BBS 3 I just got this ticket for a speeding violation two months ago! What's up with that? (Kazo Takada) Tickets are now automatically issued and processed by the new Detection System 7. This system records the license number, color, speed, and time of any vehicle in violation of regulations. While two months is an unusually long delay, the system is overloaded due to the number of traffic violations. If the fine is not paid, appear in court at the time and place indicated on your ticket. Failure to appear may result in further fines. (JPO Ombudsman) 4: JPO BBS 4 I gave my E-mail address to a person I met in a chat room, and he keeps sending me mail! As soon as I log-on, he starts sending messages. It's creepy! Like I'm being watched. Can you do something about this? (Anonymous) The JPO does many things to help citizens lead safe lives. Prevention of network harassment is a matter we take seriously. Please report any incidents to your local police. We have experts on staff who can answer your questions and help you defend yourself. All we need to investigate a case of network harassment is the offender's address. All consultations are kept confidential. (JPO Ombudsman) 5: JPO BBS 5 The recently approved "National Emergency Control Law" is interfering with the lives of private citizens. I think there needs to be more discretion shown in its implementation. What is the official stand of the JPO? (Aichi Prefecture - Kazuki Kita) As a law enforcement agency, the JPO strives to follow the spirit of the law, and to implement it fairly. In all of our actions we follow the Parliament's recent declaration that the implementation of this law shall not significantly disturb civilian affairs. (JPO Ombudsman) This message deleted due to inappropriate content. (JPO Ombudsman) 6: JPO BBS 6 Since martial law was declared, all the city festivals my children used to enjoy have been cancelled. How much more of this do we have to endure? (Anonymous) We are deeply concerned that many citizens are imposing too many restrictions since the declaration of martial law. Martial law was declared to protect the people, not needlessly regulate their lives. As long as attendees carry identification, preserve the peace, and observe curfew, festivals are both legal and welcome. Please make proper arrangements beforehand with your local authorities. (JPO Ombudsman) 7: JPO BBS 7 With the war going on in Kyushu and Okinawa, I wonder if foreigners living here won't cause any disturbances? (Anonymous) This message deleted due to inappropriate content. (JPO Ombudsman) Units within the JPO responsible for stopping social unrest before it occurs are currently monitoring certain organizations 24 hours a day. Please do not be alarmed by rumors.

Japan Information [PW: JA9AN] 1.1: LEVEL 1 DATA Japan Internal Report: No.046790 Japan has been a leader for the 90 years since the founding of the OCU, yet is now falling behind other OCU member nations in education and the economic terms. Our disaster prevention agencies are behind those of other nations. The Department of Public Safety is understaffed and our equipment is outdated to the point where the JDF has better intelligence than the CIU. 1.2: LEVEL 2 DATA Japan Internal Report: No.046831 The JDF has reported the JDF Yokosuka Base explosion as an incident. However, the following evidence shows otherwise. 1) The area of the explosion was far removed from any fuel or ammo depots. 2) A video of the explosion distributed by the JDF shows signs of digital retouching. 3) No government authorities have been allowed to examine the site. It is still not clear exactly what transpired there, nor do we have the equipment to break through their defenses and find out. 1.3: LEVEL 3 DATA Japan Internal Report: No.046896 JDF General Chief of Staff Masao Sasaki is well-known within the JDF for his ambition. His "Theory of Active Defense" is basically the same as USN and Da Han Zhong's policy of "Military Force as Diplomacy." Sasaki is backed by many Parliament members and could become a minister. His movements are being closely monitored. If he takes suspicious actions, rectification may become necessary. 1.4: LEVEL 4 DATA Japan Internal Report: No.046857 We have received information that JDF has infiltrated the police. Our research has found three suspects. One female officer has been dropped from suspicion following a closer examination. The other two suspects are under constant surveillance. We believe that spies were sent into our organization to gauge the extent to which the police and the public safety boards know about the Yokosuka base explosion. 1.5: LEVEL 5 DATA Japan Internal Report: No.046896 We are continuing out investigation into the JDF emergency response team "MAF" (Mobile Assault Force). Yesterday, one of our investigators was involved in a hit-and-run accident. He escaped with minimal injuries and reports the accident was staged. We must view this as a hostile attempt by JDF forces to deter our investigation. We have increased precautions since learning the MAF is directed by Sasaki. 2. OCU Information [PW:0CU] 2.1: LEVEL 1 DATA OCU Report: No.1022250 Large-scale activity within OCU forces since the explosion. The OCU sent inspectors with a scientific team to Yokosuka Base. Following that, several transports were moved to the OCU Atsugi Base. We believe there is a secret behind the explosion. 2.2: LEVEL 2 DATA Investigations revealed that the OCU established secret weapons research labs in all its member nations. Our information shows a new wanzer model was developed. It is considerably larger than standard wanzers and is clearly in violation of MULS specifications. Its armament appears to be double that of a standard wanzer. A research team leaked this, and we are awaiting photographs and schematics. 2.3: LEVEL 3 DATA OCU Report: No.1024339 The CIU has also been investigating OCU activities. It seems that the size of their intelligence team has decreased. However, they are still operating on a larger scale than our Department of Public Safety and are equipped with newer weaponry. The CIU is currently most active in OCU nations, especially in Southeast Asia and the Philippines, possibly due to unstable conditions there. 2.4: LEVEL 4 DATA OCU Report: No.1025112 The OCU central government has been straightening its friendship treaties with foreign nations recently. 20 years after the 2nd Huffman War, its relations with the USN are normalizing, possibly due to the increasing internal conflict within the OCU. However, the OCU military still considers the USN to be its biggest threat, and USN naval craft near OCU territorial waters are closely monitored. 2.5: LEVEL 5 DATA OCU Report: No.1025343 Particle cannons, commonly called beam weapons, are hard to miniaturize and require high-output generator. Velda Co. of Australia offered to make an experimental beam weapon for the OCU. It was granted top-secret privileges 2 years ago. Jade Metal Lyman Co. was also given permission to build a heavy combat vehicle. It seems that Velda has yet to complete their prototype, and we have been unable to obtain more information on Jademetal. We have unconfirmed reports that Velda is continuing development in a joint venture with Kirishima Industries. INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION 1: USN Information [PW:U2N] 1.1: LEVEL 1 DATA USN Report: No.310078 USN naval units are patrolling strategic points in the Pacific. Recently, these patrols have come very close to OCU territory. It is likely they are gathering information. This data was obtained from JDF and CIU intelligence reports. 1.2: LEVEL 2 DATA USN Report: No.310125 Mergers in the USN weapons industry have become increasingly frequent in recent months. Fireball Co., Hoprise Co. and Fleiman Co. all joined the Diable Avionics Group. Vince Co. has remained independent, but USN orders have dropped. Vince Japan, a division of Vince Co., declared bankruptcy in 2107, and it is only a matter of time before the rest of the company is bought out by Diable. 1.3: LEVEL 3 DATA USN Report: No.310324 We have reports from our USN informant that the USN is currently developing an entirely new weapon. Unfortunately, all contact with our informant was lost, and we have no more information. We have reason to believe that the weapon is an energy beam device. However, this is not a new type of weapon, suggesting that the weapon must possess other capabilities. We will send another agent to replace our missing informant. 1.4: LEVEL 4 DATA USN Report: No.310454 We have reports from the JDF that USN naval submarines have been penetrating OCU territorial waters. We have confirmation they come as close as 40km to Okinawa. However, the JDF has not reported these incidents to the OCU military, nor to the Japan Ministry of Defense. We are currently investigating this matter. A fault in JDF communications is suspected. 1.5: LEVEL 5 DATA USN Report: No.310557 As an OCU member nation, Japan stands opposed to the USN. However, due to strong trade relations with the USN in the past, economic cooperation between our two nations continued after Japan joined the OCU. Now forces are at work to renew ties with the USN. According to our intelligence, certain political and military elements are covertly working to establish military and economic ties with the USN. Similar activity has been reported in the USN as well. 2. DHZ Information [PW:D8Z] 2.1: Japan - Da Han Zhong Relations Da Han Zhong Report: No.993591 The USN was joined by Da Han Zhong in strong opposition to the formation of the OCU. DHZ officials saw the OCU as an obstacle to trade with the USN, which threatened to join smaller nations of Southeast Asia together in a wall around their own nation. Even today, relations are strained, and nearly all political overtures on the part of the OCU have been roundly dismissed by the DHZ. This has also made penetration of the DHZ by our agents extremely difficult, forcing us to greatly restrict our intelligence operations in this area. 2.2: LEVEL 2 DATA Da Han Zhong Report: No.993968 In the past, the USN often offered Da Han Zhong economic assistance. Faced with OCU opposition, the USN felt it necessary to join with the DHZ, the latter becoming increasingly dependent on USN economic support. However, DHZ chairman Jie Bo Liao, who assumed control after the death of Bai Tai Luong, took a hardline stance against the growing free DHZ economy and served all economic ties with the USN. Our intelligence shows that the USN made no formal protest, but they began supplying wanzers and other military aid to the Hua Lian anti-government rebels. 2.3: LEVEL 3 DATA Da Han Zhong Report: No.994935 Da Han Zhong agents have been discovered in Japan. We have confirmation of a vessel leaving the DHZ Shanghai Base. A similar craft was sighted close to Japan in the Ito Straits several days later. We believe this craft was sent to inspect the JDF Yokosuka Base explosion site. This evidence of the USN and DHZ interest in the explosion has further reinforced our belief that this incident was of great. possibly military, significance. 2.4: LEVEL 4 DATA Da Han Zhong Report: No.995021 One of our agents stationed in Da Han Zhong obtained access to government data. It appears that the DHZ is preparing for a large-scale military effort to eradicate the Hua Lian rebels. The DHZ is mobilizing its elite Rapid Reaction Force in what is surely the most determined assault on the Hua Lian rebels to date. 2.5: LEVEL 5 DATA Da Han Zhong Report: No.995503 Our agent in Hong Kong has succeeded in making contact with the Hua Lian rebels. They hinted to our agent that they are currently receiving aid from the USN, and are planning to invade Shanghai. We do not intend to interfere with their plan. As their movements will surely have a great effect on relations between Japan and the DHZ, we plan to continue our surveillance of their organization. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ################### #[1.2] Corporation# ################### [jc1] Kirishima Industries (KIRISHIMAID/CORPORATION/JAPAN) INFO 1: Corporate COMPANY: Kirishima Industries Co. Ltd. Main Office: Taito, Tokyo Est. 8/15/1999 Kirishima Industries has always been a pioneer in Japanese manufacturing. We began by developing and manufacturing internal combustion engines. We now produce semi-conductors, all forms of transportation vehicle, and software. Environmental awareness is our primary concern. Kirishima was the first to implement recycling plants half a century ago. Our products are used all over the world. Our mission is to provide our clients with products that fit their needs. 2: Company History Kirishima Industries was founded over 100 years ago by Makoto Kirishima. We were a small fuel injection manufacturer back then. Our fuel injector which drastically lowered toxic emissions, quickly became an industry standard. We then began to produce automobiles. We also began to produce generators, ships, and heavy machinery. Kirishima Industries became this country's top manufacturer. Our environment-friendly products are made with recycled resources and clean energy from out geothermal plants. Kirishima is now a leader in space technology, manufacturing the engines of next-generation shuttles and satellites. 3: Facilities in Japan Branch offices: 12 (Japan), 4 (overseas) Factories: 20 (Japan), 8 (overseas) Research facilities: 3 (Japan) 4: Financial Condition 1 This Year's Revenue We predict a downturn in production orders for the coming year. Downsizing will cut the increasing costs of research. Assuming that relations with the USN have normalized, exports of hybrid autos to the USN should increase. In addition, an increase in contracts will boost profits. 5: Financial Condition 2 Marine: Fewer new ships, but increased repairs. Motor: Slight increase expected. Aerospace: Satellite division growth. Special-Purpose Vehicles: Increase to JDF. Auto: Steady growth expected. General: Trend toward reduction expected. Electronics: Continues growth for COM model. 5: Financial Condition 3 We will halt overseas procurement of steel and chemical products due to local supply excess (-38% from last year). Imports from Zaftra down due to regional instability. OCU imports now 70% of total. 30% reduction in USN imports. Electronic part imports from the EC up 40% from this year. 6: Financial Condition 4 Special-purpose vehicle demand is tapering off, reducing general profits. Also a drastic reduction in abandoned nuclear plant cleanup with projects nearing completion. Due to ban on pre-2085 gasoline vehicles being implemented next year, growth in hybrid, natural gas, and electric automobile sales is expected. WORK (KIRIBUSINESS/CORPORATION/JAPAN) 1: Topic 1.1: To strengthen Kirishima Industries' global sales network, we have merged and reorganized our retail network members. We now operate in the OCU, EC, and the USN. Starting next year, all products will be sold through our regional distributors to better respond to local needs. We will further strengthen management at all outlets. The following companies will be formed: Kirishima OCU Retail Co., Ltd. (Singapore) Kirishima EC Retail Co., Ltd. Kirishima USN Retail Co., Ltd. OCU Retail will cover the former-CIS and Da Han Zhong regional sales, and EC Retail will cover African sales. We appreciate your continued patronage. 1.2: Kirishima Museum of Technology Next month, a new exhibition will be on display at the KMT: "Rediscovering Living: Technology in Our Daily Lives" as well as "The Age of Tadashi Kirishima." Our current exhibition features simple explanations of the technology that makes everyday life possible, as well as a display on miniature garbage recycling plants for regional use. Try the technology by watching garbage turn into resources while you wait! Our exhibition also features a special wanzer simulator. Experience the capabilities of our latest Wanzer model yourself (students only). "The Age of Tadashi Kirishima" features a reconstruction of his own research laboratory, including his first game console with its primitive 128-bit CPU! 1.3: The World's Largest Tunnel Excavator. Kirishima Industries has developed an excavation machine capable of digging tunnels 50 meters in diameter. This excavator was designed over a span of 5 years to aid in the construction of the undersea Oceania Tunnel between Australia and New Zealand. Automation allows a single person to operate this excavator. The 128 onboard CPUs automatically determine the ideal excavation method for each stratum. Depending on conditions, excavation speed can be as high as 5km per day. We expect swift results on the Oceania Tunnel Project. 1.4: Defense Minister Tabata in Bribery Scandal Internal investigations find evidence to support media allegations of bribery in JDF procurement. our company prides itself on its lawful business practices, in accordance with public standards. The JDF chose the new wanzer based an accurate appraisal of its quality and value. While we know that there are no problems with the recent shipment, we are prepared to cooperate fully with authorities should an investigation be requested. 1.5: Collusion with JDF Coup Forces Kirishima Industries would like to clarify that rumors of our company�s collusion with the JDF coup d'etat forces have absolutely no basis in fact. The recent coup d'etat is a dangerous movement with no regard for our nation's laws or citizens. The use of violence as a means to gain power is anti-societal and should not be tolerated. We hope that those responsible will be brought to justice. Our hearts are with the people of the Kyushu region. We sincerely pray that no more innocent lives are claimed. Kirishima Industries Co. Ltd. 2: Info 2.1: Marine Shipping & Generators Kirishima motors power the heavy tankers and cargo ships of today's marine shipping industry, revolutionizing marine transport. Using our latest actuator, the luxury cruise liner "The Milky Way" cruises through 60-foot waves so smoothly that a cigarette standing on end won't topple. From oil rigs and artificial breakwaters to the large-scale float construction used to build Ocean City, our marine construction produces superior results. We also produce deep-sea submarine scouts built to withstand incredible pressures, along with numerous research vessels, where the most advanced research occurs. See the Okinawa Ocean City Development Dept. web site for details on Ocean City. The web site can be found at (OKINAWAOCD/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN) 2.2: Aerospace and Special-use Vehicles Kirishima Industries' technological acumen continues to lead our nation's aerospace industry. In addition to building cutting-edge aircraft, we also made economical shuttle missions as a reality. The capabilities of a AAH45a Attack Helicopter using our TB230W engine have made it a standard in OCU forces. Our aerospace branch's development of the JH-11 rocket with its unequaled propulsion capabilities has made us a leader in the field. We lead our country's defense industry with our production of high-power armored vehicles in close cooperation with JDF research teams. 2.3: Industrial & Construction Equipment We support the manufacturing industry through the application of our technological expertise to the production of the general-use machinery that runs our nation's manufacturing robot. Actuators are this division's primary product. Our revolutionary super-miniature nanomachine injection molder is able to produce a steady supply of 0.27nm components. Kirishima Industries produces a wide variety of functional and economical equipment. Truly, we support manufacturing the world over. 3: Products - Jinyo Mk100 - Enyo Mk109 - Shunyo Mk111 - Mk12 AFV - MMG3 Ship SPECIAL VEHICLES SECTION (KIRISPV/CORPORATION/JAPAN) 1: Information9 Please follow these guidelines for any calls regarding recent bribery allegations: 1. Transfer all calls to PR division. 2. Receptionists should not comment on any inquiries. All complaints are handled by computer reception system "GNK-Mk2." We are allocating enough lines to prevent busy signals. 2: Confidential Data Base (KIRISPVS/CORPORATION/JAPAN) [PW:SHUNYO] 2.1: MEETING MINUTES [Mtg. with Chief of Staff Sasaki] Attendees: JDF Chief of Staff Sasaki, company president, and Special Vehicles Division Chief Mita. Domestic production of all weapons used by the JDF agreed. Early and exclusive delivery of the new WZR "Shunyo" requested. 2.2: PROJECT (SHUNYO) Policy on Shunyo Shipment All information regarding the new Shunyo WZR is classified. Performance tests to take place in Ocean City. Test pilots are registered to ensure secrecy. Upon test completion in Okinawa, the 2 Shunyos are to be transported to Yokosuka Base. 2.3: UNDER DEVELOPMENT Prototype Tank Project Location: Kyushu Testing Facility. Experimental tank with beam weapon and "Comparative Wave Defense Shield (CWDS)." Comparative waves disrupt electronics, weapons, and sensors. By disabling these systems, wanzers can be rendered largely ineffective. However, research shows that CWDS power requirements are very high, making simultaneous use of beam weapons difficult. Furthermore, the area of effect is limited. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [jc2] Iguchi (IGUCHI/CORPORATION/JAPAN) HEAVY INDUSTRIES DIVISION The Heavy Industry Division of Iguchi is responsible for development and production of vehicles, aircraft, and wanzers, including military contracts. This division is famous for several technological advancements, especially in the field of armaments. The latter half of the 21st century has seen the development and production of wanzers, and models such as the Kyokei and Kyojun are popular in the OCU. PHARMACEUTICAL DIVISION This new division of Iguchi was born by merging with Sakata Industries' Pharmaceutical Division in 2092. It now boasts a worldwide sales network. Research includes neural and immune system related medicines, as well as genetic recombination and molecular design. The Chemical Technology Institute of the Pharmaceutical Division develops propellants and explosives jointly with the Heavy Industry Division. CORPORATE 1: Topics Future of Iguchi As explained to our stock holders, profit for this fiscal year is far below our target. One reason is the world-wide downturn in armament industries. Also the JDF adopted Kirishima's Shunyo wanzer instead of our Kyoshun model as their standard WZR. For next year, we are working hard on a new prototype wanzer to regain our market share in the industry. I foresee a bright future for the Iguchi Corporation. Suguru Iguchi, Chairman of the Board.

(OCC/CORPORATION/JAPAN) TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT The engineering center is managed by the main corporations of Ocean City: Kirishima Industries, Taoka Construction, and Hatada Co. They are in charge of maintaining facilities in Ocean City and running PR activities. UNDER CONSTRUCTION (OCCCONST/CORPORATION/JAPAN) 1: Primary Block 10 Harbor C Expansion Wharf C10, adjacent to Primary Block (PB) 11, housing Ishizawa Trading, Badacca Marine Transport. and Andas Enterprises, is under expansion. The expansion will add 30 acres to the current area. Please move all cargo to Wharf B while Wharf C is shut down for construction. 2: Primary Block 4 Road Construction An elevated highway ("Ocean Route 43"), which passes over sub-blocks 32 through to 45 of Primary Block (PB) 4, will be completed in 2113. The opening of Ocean Route 43 will make your commuting easier. We ask the residents to be patient during construction. 3: Primary Block 13 Power Unit Maintenance Maintenance work is being done on the power generator units of Primary Block (PB)13. There will be no disruption of power, as additional power will be supplied from an adjacent PB. Please watch out for large vehicles near the underground entrance. Large replacement parts will be transported by submarines. Some harbors may close after midnight for this construction. INFORMATION 1: The Secret of Ocean City 1 Ocean City is a complex of 13 honeycomb structures (800m in length) called Primary Blocks (PB). Each PB was constructed in 9 different areas of Japan and moved its way to Okinawa using the built-in power unit. The harbor and upper structures were constructed to make Ocean City complete. 2: The Secret of Ocean City 2 The Primary Blocks (PB) of Ocean City were constructed in 9 areas of Kyushu, Chugoku and Tokai, since it was more effective to build them simultaneously in separate areas. Each PB, measuring over 800m in length, is larger than a tanker. Construction took 5 years, the self-transportation half a year, and the facility construction, 3 years. The 4 cruise motor units are now used as power generators. 3: Ocean City Blueprint (download) [PW:EHOBA] 4: Residential Zone Ocean City Civilian Facilities 2/3 of Ocean City is used by civilians. Each block houses an administrative, corporate. commercial and residential area. Each residential area is provided with schools, hospitals, and public services to ensure the same standard of living as the mainland. The commercial area offers a shopping mall, a stadium, and an amusement park, and numerous office buildings. 5: JDF Zone Ocean City JDF Facilities The JDF naval base occupies 1/3 of Ocean City. The JDF fleet is stationed here, with 8,000 members of the navy. The base itself is small compared to mainland bases, but is efficiently managed having a barracks, training facility, administrative facility and a heliport. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [jc4] JBNN / Japan Broadcasting Network News (JBNN/CORPORATION/JAPAN) TOPICS (JBNNTOPICS/CORPORATION/JAPAN) 1: In Japan 1.1: [USN and Japan Cooperative] Tension between the OCU and the USN stems from a suspected USN arms supply to the rebels in the Philippines. According to Vice-Minister Yamazaki, Japan will set up talks with the USN to relax some of this tension. Yamazaki plans to visit the USN early next week to prepare for the talks. Yamazaki hopes Japan can be a channel for OCU nations to express concerns. [Buried Treasure?] The "Rich Bum's Treasure" legend is well known in Tokyo. A source inside a major construction company revealed that the company actually found the treasure and hid it. The company denies the allegation. Authorities are investigating the matter. 1.2: [Yokosuka Base Explosion] The investigation into the cause of the recent explosion on JDF's Yokosuka base has begun. JDF investigator Asakura announced that the explosion occurred in a warehouse. The fire started by the entrance then spread to emergency fuel stores, thereby causing an explosion. The cause could have been electrical related, but most likely it was arson. The colonel mentioned it could have been the work of terrorists. Reports of international terrorism in OCU countries are on the rise, and the authorities cannot monitor these activities in spite of great effort. The JPO is concerned these events will spread to Japan and is considering legislation as one avenue of dealing with this. 1.3: [Defense Minister Bribery Scandal] The publication "Truth of Rumor" reported Kirishima Industries bribing Defense Minister Tabata. It was reported that Kirishima Industries gave Tabata a large cash bribe to influence his decision in the JDF wanzer trials next quarter. The article features photos of Tabata's private secretary leaving a restaurant with a Kirishima Industries division manager and testimony from witnesses. Tabata and Kirishima held a joint press conference and denied the allegation. They also spoke of a legal action against the publication. However, the Public Prosecutor is showing strong interest in the article and seems to be preparing for further investigation. 1.4: [Slow Economic Growth Forecasted] The Economic Planning Agency presented this year's economic forecast, and this year's growth is expected to be below last year's This report cast a shadow over next year's national budget, currently under discussion. The defense budget is expected to suffer major reductions. Defense reductions normally face resistance from defense lobbyists, but this time the reaction was calm in light of Tabata's upcoming trial. Domestic heavy industries stock prices plunged in reaction to this news. 1.5: [Coup d'etat] A splinter faction within the JDF began a coup d'etat several days ago, and fighting continues between the factionists and the JDF. The faction began as a battalion-sized group, but by morning many units have defected to the cause. The size of the faction has grown to about 1/3 the size of the JDF, with even whole fleets and air bases joining the coup faction. The JDF is planning to release the name of the coup leader in the next few days. Although the JDF is using all of its resources to suppress the coup, it will take some time for things to return to normal. 1.6: [Coup d'etat Follow-up] The battles between the JDF and coup faction haven't had much effect on urban areas, but heavy fighting continues in the countryside. Air force and naval coup supporters are isolated in bases, and therefore are locked in a stalemate. However, battles between ground troops are becoming fierce with heavy losses on both sides, especially in the Kyushu area. The JDF announced they will soon have the coup suppressed. Residents are requested to follow JDF and the police instructions, however this request may indicate the coup faction is gaining the upper hand. The OCU Congress has requested for reinforcements, but also sent out a special envoy to begin arbitration. 1.7: [Da Han Zhong Invasion] As DHZ troops invaded Ocean City, the JDF and the coup faction announced a temporary cease fire. Ocean City is currently under DHZ control, despite the JDF's continued resistance. A joint JDF/coup fleet is heading for Ocean City at this time. DHZ announced the invasion is to capture terrorists, and not any territorial ambition. Even so this act is flagrant violation of sovereignty. Once can't help but conclude their intent is territorial, as there have been no requests for terrorists through diplomatic channels. The government has decided to take back Ocean City and sweep the DHZ from Okinawa. Hopefully, this will set an example to discourage further aggression. 2: In OCU 2.1: [OCU Economic Cooperation Pre-session] While in Australia, Parliamentary Vice-Minister Kaga met with OCU congressman Razami. Although details of the meeting were not released, the meeting was a pre-session before the OCU economic cooperation talks begin. The main agenda for the talks will be financial aid for OCU Southeast Asian countries currently suffering from serious inflation. It is likely that Japan and Australia will be asked to provide financial aid. It is believed the pre-session was to decide the amount of financial aid that will be made available. Judging from Congressman Razami's good spirits after the meeting, the negotiations with Japan have been quite successful. 2.2: [Philippine Rebels] Australian diplomat Foster visits the Philippines to help end the growing anti-government rebel activity. However, shortly after Foster's arrival, numerous facilities on Leyte were attacked simultaneously by the rebels. There were many casualties. The attacks began after President Lacan stated, "I will use all force necessary to remove these rebels." Lacan also order all troops on standby and declared a civilian curfew. The Philippines rebel group is led by former Vice President Bamarm. 2.3: [Singapore's Changi Airport Shutdown?] It was revealed that one of OCU's major airports, Changi Airport, had its flight control temporarily shut down. The shutdown lasted only 30 minutes, but the total shutdown of control radar and communications equipment caused much panic. Takeoffs and landings were suspended during the shutdown. No accidents occurred. The cause is still unknown, but according to the airport authorities, it's very unusual for everything to malfunction at once. It is suspected the failure was caused by spenders. Airport authorities are currently tightening security. 2.4: [Da Han Zhong Invasion Failed] The DHZ units that invaded the OCU Philippines began a sudden withdrawal several days ago. There has been no confirmation by the DHZ. Military sources say that the DHZ fleet suffered a devastating blow. Skeptics believe such a powerful anti-ship weapon was used and suggest a computer system flaw or hacking by spenders as possible causes. The Philippines has not released details of the attack against the DHZ fleet, so the actual cause remains unclear. Nonetheless, the OCU welcomes the end of conflict. 2.5: [OCU Economic Cooperative Talks] The OCU economic cooperative talks held in Alordesh have ended. The main topic was economic aid for Southeast Asian countries. The framework to satisfy the OCU nations' financial needs has been decided upon. The DHZ invasion was also discussed. OCU Congressman Charles stated, "A flaw in the OCU's structure encouraged the DHZ to attack. To prevent a repeat of this incident, we requested all OCU nations send more troops to OCU military. However, the other member nations remained indifferent to the request. Since it is a fact that the OCU military is becoming ineffective, similar proposals will doubtlessly be made again. Japan will have to cope with sending more troops to OCU forces. 2.6: [OCU Force Reinforcement] The OCU Congress overwhelmingly passed a proposal to require all OCU nations to contribute additional troops to the OCU forces. However, many OCU nations are opposed to the proposal. Those nations are asking for reconsideration of the proposal. [Philippines Marine Farms] The OCU Marine Economy Agency announced they will construct a large scale marine farm in the Philippines. The facility will be a stock farm with conventional deep water pumping, fish-breeding reefs, and large marine buoys. It this multi-facility proves successful, other OCU countries may follow in constructing similar farms. 2.7: [OCU Reaction DHZ's Japan Invasion] The OCU fleet was attacked and severely damaged by DHZ forces while offshore of Negros Island in the Philippines. The attacked fleet was the OCU emergency relief force, en route to Ocean City in wake of the DHZ invasion. Following the attack, the OCU Congress dispatched a fleet with marines, but the fleet's arrival will be delayed by this attack. A navy spokesman announced the damage from the attack was not serious and no ships were sunk. The spokesman continued to say the attack will not in any way prevent the OCU from defending itself from all foreign incursions. 3: Foreign 3.1: [Moscow: Kazuki Kano] The Zaftra Republic and the Ravnui Republic, both former CIS nations with a history of conflict, have closed an economic cooperation treaty. The treaty was signed at the Zaftra prime minister's residence. The president of Zaftra and the ambassador general from Ravnui attending the signing. After years of conflict, these two nations have suffered economic collapse. Their immediate goal is restructuring of their economic systems. Economists from both countries are welcoming the treaty. The treaty includes the exchange of technology and should bolster industrial manufacturing. The former CIS nations are wedged between the EC and the OCU. If this treaty stabilizes the 2 nations' economies, other former CIS members may consider joining. 3.2: [Beijing: Shiro Komichi] The DHZ announced a campaign to eradicate the Hua Lian Rebels. The elite Rapid Reaction Force will likely be used. In recent years, the DHZ has taken stronger but futile measures against the rebels, who have influence in the Huanan Economic Block. Many Huanan residents object to the central government policies, resulting in large numbers of rebel sympathizers. The elite Rapid Reaction Force seems to be in charge of the operation, though this has not been confirmed. It is not known when the operation will commence, but military resistance is expected. 3.3: [Washington: Rikuo Akasaka] The USN announced that they are ready to provide industrial technology to the DHZ. Military technology is not included in the deal. The deal is part of the continuing effort for economic alliance with the DHZ and includes general industrial products, automobiles, and aircraft. This will give the DHZ industrial capability comparable to the USN or the OCU. Some critics say a part of the deal can be interpreted as providing the DHZ with wanzer technology. The starting date of the assistance has not been made public. It may begin this year, according to USN sources. 3.4: [Singapore: Hachio Daiba] The Pacific Headquarters of the OCU army announced that a USN aircraft violated Taiwan's airspace. The OCU army confirmed the USN aircraft entered DHZ airspace over the South China Sea, then dropped to low altitude over Taiwan, where the radar contact was lost. There were also unconfirmed sightings of a parachute-like object falling from a large aircraft in the eastern mountains of Xinzhu. Some believe it is an USN invasion. Others believe this proves a secret military coalition between the USN and the DHZ. The USN and the DHZ have not commented on this incident. According to the anti-war group Broadbeans, who have close ties to the rebels, there is no unusual activity. 3.5: [Hong Kong: Mitsuo Itsuki] The Hua Lian Rebels have subdued DHZ government as far as Nanjing. The DHZ is throwing in everything to try and stop the advance. The battle started in Wuzhou, spread to Guilin and Foshan, and is approaching Shanghai. The DHZ is deploying the Rapid Reaction Force, as well as standard troops, without much success. The DHZ forces appear to have suffered heavy casualties. There is a rumor that the son of the late Vice-Chairman Ming Huang Jiu is still alive and among the rebels, and reports show foreigners are among the rebels. It is also rumored that USN is involved. If the rebels reach Shanghai, it is possible Chairman Jie could be ousted. 3.6: [Beijing: Ken Shiwasu] The Hua Lian Rebels, who fought their way to Shanghai, were finally defeated by the government troops. According to the DHZ military, troops from Guangzhou as well as marines were used to defeat and cut off the rebels forces. There have been no reports on casualties, or the extent of property damage, though civilian casualties are expected to be high. Heavy fighting was reported in central Shanghai, New Shanghai International Airport, and the Ravnui Embassy. The military will continue mopping up the rebels and try to seize the leader, Huang. More troops will be sent to the rebel HQ in Guangzhou. 3.7: [USN: Hajime Atami] The USN advised DHZ to cease their invasion of Japan. Secretary of State Kerwin conveyed the message directly to the DHZ ambassador. Anti-war groups gathered in front of the DHZ embassy in Washington to protest. Violence was reported against DHZ residents in SF. [Europe: Shihiko Sato] The EC expressed disapproval of DHZ's invasion of Japan. The EC will try to persuade the DHZ to withdraw immediately. [Canberra: Sho Netsurai] The OCU insisted DHZ should withdraw immediately from Japan. The OCU suggested dispatching troops, if the DHZ does not comply. [Moscow: Akira Ishigami] Zaftra expressed regret at the DHZ invasion of Japan. Zaftra offered to arbitrate the dispute with EC, USN, and OCU officials. JBNN GRAPHICS (JBNNGRAPH/CORPORATION/JAPAN) 1: 2005 - EC Formal Unification The year 2005 will be long remembered for the founding of the EC, the first unification of all Europe. Unified currency and a globalized economy give the EC much influence in world affairs. 2: 2020 - USN Establishment The continents of North and South America were unified into the USN this year. Many nations facing economic collapse had no choice but to join the union. It is also true those nations' economic state was attributed to the withholding of aid by two of the North American nations. 3: 2021 - Zaftra Republic and the PMO While many of the world's nations formed unions, the former Russian states did the same. The former Russian Republic changed its name to the Zaftra Republic. Zaftra contributed to the establishment of the Peace Maintenance Organization (PMO), which was revealed to be a front to maintain Zaftra's power. 4: 2026 - Organizing the OCU The OCU was established by adding Japan and Australia to the former Bangkok Economic Block of Southeast Asian countries. The EC and the USN wanted to maintain economic control in the region, and tried to block OCU establishment. 5: 2029 - Wanzers The first wanzer built to standardized specifications called MULS was completed this year. MULS are designed to allow fully interchangeable body parts. MULS will contribute to reducing wanzer costs. Wanzer became the main military weapon following an independence war in Africa. 6: 2070 - 1st Huffman War Huffman Island suddenly appeared as a result of volcanic activity on the OCU and the USN border in 1995. The island was initially under UN control. Dispute over the island's natural resources led to a war between the USN and the OCU. After PMO negotiations, the island was declared neutral territory. 7: 2078 - Futai Tunnel Work on the tunnel started in 2061 and took 18 years to complete.

The use of the human brain as a computer caused the dispute. The project was jointly controlled by the ICU and USN militaries and Sakata Industries. Sakata Industries later merged with the Iguchi Co. The Republic of Zaftra was also reported to have been involved. 9: 2095 - Ocean City Completed Ocean City was completed in 2095 at the south end of Okinawa's main island. It was originally planned to solve the military base problem. After the OCU was established, the plan was changed to include port facilities, and construction began. 10: 2102 - Alordesh Coup d'etat A coup occurred in the People's Republic of Alordesh in 2102. Alordesh joined the OCU in 2094. but their stagnant economy did not improve. The military started the coup for independence, claiming the OCU was exploiting the country's resources. 11: 2112: People's Republic of Da Han Zhong Jie Bo Liao became the head of state after the death of Chairman Bai. Chairman Jie promoted the country's policies and changed its name as well. In a change from previous free market policies, all industries were nationalized to create a "national corporation."

SPECIAL INVESTIGATION OFFICE [PW:YAMS] 1: FILE 8341G 1 [JDF Yokosuka Incidents] Employee No.8341G Shinji Hamasaka Collecting data on the JDF Yokosuka Base incident. The JDF seems to be taking extreme measures to maintain secrecy. The information acquired from the OCU intelligence backs up this report. The accident itself might have been a cover-up operation. Alternate sources of info might be the Department of Public Safety of OCU army intelligence. You'll need the password (J1D2F3) to access JDF related information from the OCU army intelligence. 2: FILE 8341G 2 [Follow up on JDF Yokosuka] Employee No.8341G Shinji Hamasaka I checked the records of personnel and cargo movements to find anything unusual. I found several instances of some unspecified cargo being transferred at odd times, with extra security. During my research, I ran across the trails of many foreign agents, especially USN's FAI. They all seem very interested in the transferred item. I confirmed the Department of Public Safety was active as well, but could not access their webpage. The website: (DPS/GOVERNMENT/JAPAN) 3: FILE 9389G [USN and DHZ] Employee No.9389G Hiroaki Kusano It is rumored that the USN is assisting the Hua Lian Rebels. I have information that supplies, including weapons, will be delivered to the DHZ's plan to finish off the rebels. I also have information the USN is preparing to send aid to the DHZ. One could be a bluff. I am continuing my research. 4: FILE 0833P [JDF Activity] Employee No.0833P Mamoru Oyamada Rebel activity increases as the DHZ continues its sweep of the rebels. As mentioned earlier, the OCU requested the JDF be on alert, but there is some peculiar activity taking place. WZRs and other special vehicles are not stopping at collection points. It could be a reserve force restructuring, but the units disappearing are battle ready. 5: FILE 7846B [JDF Coup] Employee No.7846B Toshiro Tsuchida Colonel Isao Takemura is the supposed leader of the JDF coup. The colonel is an engineer, and it is questionable that he could seize control of operational units. There is no evidence confirming the information. I also have an unconfirmed report that Colonel Takemura welcomed Hua Lian members to Sasebo. 6: FILE 1380K [DHZ Ocean City Invasion] Employee No.1380K Hideo Iwasaki This is direct report from the Ocean City, so things are disorganized. The DHZ committed an unusually small number of troops subduing the city. Instead, a seemingly unimportant part of the city is under strict security. There are many types of WZRs I have never seen before in the city. There are also soldiers who are clearly not Asian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [jc5] Network Computing Software Corp.

According to our agent, "Dallas," a JDF task force stole MIDAS and is currently producing another copy. The explosion reported in Yokosuka was most likely an accident that occurred during a MIDAS experiment. The central government contacted Japan and the JDF. The original MIDAS will be transferred to the OCU military. It will be taken to an appropriate facility for further research. The destination of the original MIDAS cannot be accessed at this level. 1.2: LOCATION OF ORIGINAL MIDAS Location of Original MIDAS Access level: beyond [Mass] MIDAS is now stored at Taal base in the Philippines. Headquarters agreed with our suggestion to store MIDAS at Taal base, which has a research facility and high-level security. The JDF's MIDAS researchers were also transferred to Taal base to help analyze the original MIDAS. The location of MIDAS and its staff is highly classified. All agents are authorized to take any measures to prevent information leaks. 2.3: EXPLOSION OF THE ORIGINAL MIDAS Explosion of the Original MIDAS Access level: beyond [Ankh] Our investigation of the explosion in Batangas, Philippines is complete. Our investigation confirms the use of MIDAS as the cause of explosion. The events leading to the use of MIDAS are still under investigation. We suspect the commander of Taal base. The base commander probably used it against the DHZ invasion fleet in Batangas at the time. 2: JDF [PW:J1D2F3] 2.1: JDF AFFAIRS JDF Activities Access level: beyond [Callus] We are receiving warnings from our agents in Japan. They observed personnel and supplies moving between JDF bases, suggesting a large scale rearrangement to JDF forces. They also observed a great deal of change at the top level of the JDF without the consent of the Japanese government. We are currently analyzing the situation, but we lack information to make an accurate judgement of the JDF's objective. Some agents hinted at the existence of MIDAS, but we are still investigating. 2.2: RECENT JDF ACTIVITIES JDF Activities Access level: beyond [Fly] According to agent [MP], the JDF carried out a secret transportation mission. The agent witnessed a transport taking off from Yokosuka Base, heading for Atsugi JDF Base. (Follow-up) According to another agent at Atsugi, the cargo transported from Yokosuka was reloaded onto a transport plane at Atsugi Base. We suspect that the transport landed at Kadena Base, Okinawa, but attempts to collect more information have been unsuccessful. Advise all local agents to continue the investigation. 2.3: COUP IN JAPAN Coup in Japan Access level: beyond [Mass] Due to the increase in military activity in Japan after the coup, our moves are restricted. It is difficult to get clear data on Japan and the JDF. We expect repercussions from the coup in OCU. The timing and events leading up to the coup are suspicious. Intensify the investigation in Japan. (Follow-up) A large portion of the coup forces are headed southwest. Relation to Kadena Base under investigation.. 3: DA HAN ZHONG [PW:DTHTZT] 3.1: POLITICAL SITUATION IN DA HAN ZHONG Political Situation in DHZ Access level: beyond [Task] Our agent in Huanan reports that Hua Lian Rebel activity is escalating. The Hua Lian activists are gathering in Hong Kong. Moreover, some major Hua Lian members turned to be covert USN agents. It is probable that the rebels have received USN weapons and supplies. Considering the above data, the conflict between the DHZ military and the rebels may escalate to civil war. 3.2: HUA LIAN UPRISING Report on Hua Lian Attack Access level: beyond [Callus] Our agent reports that the Hua Lian Rebels successfully occupied Nanjing. Hua Lian Rebels are continuing to move on Shanghai as the DHZ continues to suffer military defeats. The victory over the Tianlei fortress and the Rapid Reaction Force have heightened the Hua Lian Rebels' morale. A foreigner was witnessed among the Hua Lian Rebels. This person may be the USN observer who supplied weapons and supplies to Hua Lian. 3.3: HUA LIAN DEFEATED Latest News from DHZ Access level: beyond [Fly] Our agents reports a DHZ counterattack against the rebels in Shanghai. The Hua Lian Rebels were defeated as a result of the full-scale counterattack. It is unusual the victorious DHZ forces did not pursue the Hua Lian. Also, the DHZ forces have all received new movement orders. Now a large number of ships are gathering in DHZ harbors, but the details of this operation are unknown. 3.4: DA HAN ZHONG INVADES JAPAN DHZ Invasion of Japan Access level: beyond [Mass] We confirmed that DHZ did not warn Japan about the invasion. This act of war by the DHZ clearly violates the international law. The reason for the invasion remains unknown. All reports we received from DHZ are fragmented, but some information hints at the existence of MIDAS. The fact that DHZ acquired information on MIDAS probably influenced their decision to invade Japan. 4: CIU [PW:C4I5U6] 4.1: CIU AGENT IN JAPAN CIU Activities Access level: beyond [Ankh] Our agent has spotted a CIU related person in Tokyo. Our investigation confirmed that she is a CIU agent. Her mission is now under investigation. We assigned the investigation to the appropriate members. All other staff should not interfere. Our relationship with the CIU is sensitive. Do not contact the CIU agent. The CIU's web address is (CIU/GOVERNMENT/AUSTRALIA). The password to enter the database is unknown. 4.2: CIU INTEREST IN MIDAS CIU Activities-2 Access level: beyond [Swan] Our surveillance team has a report on the CIU agent. The CIU's target is "MIDAS." The CIU acquired information regarding the JDF's seizure of MIDAS before us. They failed in locating MIDAS, however, and their activities have been tracked by our agent. The CIU has not located MIDAS thus far. We must maintain secrecy on its whereabouts. 4.3: AGENT IN JAPAN AGAIN CIU Activities-3 Access level: beyond [Silk] The CIU is once again on the move. More CIU agents were spotted in Tokyo, Kyushu, and Okinawa. Their activities are under surveillance. We are making a personnel change in the investigation of CIU activities. The intelligence headquarters will be in charge of the investigation from now on. PERSONNEL [NAME:SERROV] Serov Warren Born 2084. Male Asst.

The civil war between the Philippine governmet and the rebels continues. Several unidentified ships are coming in and out of the rebel HQ in Mindanao. This is undoubtedtly related to the surge of activity by the rebels. In Singapore, site, site of the recently supressed riot, Vice President Muraki announced his decision to run for the presidency. Abduction by guerillas are frequently reported in Indonesia. The Indonesian government requested additional agents. We assigend our local agents and cards (local supporters) to collect information regarding guerilla forces. 1.2: Search: Area[Philippines]/Keyword[Bombing] Report on the bombing of Batangas The following report came from our local agents. 1. MIDAS was taken to Taal base, which is surrounded by lakes and mountains. 2. The blueprint of Taal Base revealed a large lab facility underground. 3. The base is isolated, so an accident won't affect urban areas. However, the use of MIDAS was not planned. We also received word from our local agent in Japan that another copy of MIDAS exists. Refer to his report for further details. Enter the following password to access the file: (KBQBO) 2: JAPAN [PW:KBQBO] 2.1: JAPAN FILE CURRENTLY LOCKED 2.2: We confirmed that Japan made 2 copies of MIDAS; there is now a total of 3 devices, including the original. One of the copies was lost in the explosion at Yokosuka Base. The one brought into Taal Base was the 2nd copy. We concluded that the MIDAS dropped in Batangas was a copy because it was used without exact knowledge of its destructive power. The location of the original remains a mystery. We are now investigating the JDF with regards to this matter. 3: CONGRESS [PW:PDV] 3.1: Search: Area[Canberra]/Keyword[Congress] OCU CONGRESS OCU Military Inspection Committee members and weapon industries. The committee was established to monitor the military, but in reality the committee members receive donations from weapons manufacturers. Their information manipulation is very skillful, and our investigations have often been hindered by this. The topic was initiared by a concerned CIU Director Peeps, but Congress was adjourned without working out any concrete countermeasures. 3.2: Search:Topic[Congress]/Keyword[MIDAS] OCU Congress Reaction to Batangas The OCU Congress is concerned over the explosion that destroyed Batangas. 90% of Congress members expressed interest in learning the truth about MIDAS. We are considering the submission of MIDAS documents to Congress, as the military remains silent. We will time the submission carefully to avoid interference from the OCU military. SECRET GATE [PW:UFSDFT] 1: MIDAS [PW:TBEJN] 1.1: USN NEW WEAPON Search:Topic[USN]/Keyword[Weapon] USN New Weapon A team of scientists in the USN is developing a new type of radiation device. The device is called Matter Irradiating Dissociative Acceleration System, or "MIDAS." It extracts energy from auric radiation. Auric radiation consists of protons and neutrons proportionate to that of gold which disintegrate the molecular bond of all existing matter. Confining the radiation remained almost impossible, and most research ended fruitlessly. Provided that the USN team succeeded in confining the radiation, MIDAS could function as a weapon. We must investigate into this matter further. 1.2: USING MIDAS Search:Topic[USN]/Keyword[New Weapon] MIDAS Practical Application MIDAS is on its way to practical applications. The USN research team succeeded in containing auric radiation, allowing MIDAS to be used as a bomb. Auric radiation absorbs hydrogen until it reaches a stable gold isotope status where it has lost all radioactivity. In other words, MIDAS is a bomb free of nuclear contamination, while possessing the capability to destroy above and below ground targets. We are intensifying the investigation effort on MIDAS. 2: USN [PW:OTV] 2.1: USN AND DA HAN ZHONG Report on USN Policy on DHZ The relationship between the USN and DHZ is becoming unstable. Jie Bo Liao's new regime is against a free economy and recently asked all USN corporations located in the DHZ to leave.

The two parties will sign a peace treaty at the conclusion of the OCU Economic Cooperative Talks. The tension between Alordesh and the OCU Congress goes back 10 years to the coup d'etat in Alordesh. All OCU member nations welcome this historic agreement. 1.2: Explosion in the Philippines [Manuel Laurenzo, Manila] DHZ military force invading the Philippines wiped out by mysterious explosion. The DHZ troops destroyed in the blast were on their way to Taal Base after landing at Batangas. The explosion caused severe casualties in Batangas. It is still unknown who set off the explosion. The blast was initially thought to be a nuclear explosion, but local reports confirmed otherwise. The Philippines government and the OCU congress made a stern protest against the DHZ and declared a state of emergency in Batangas. 1.3: OCU Economic Talks [Elizabeth Somlit, Dacca] Financial aid to OCU member nations suffering economic hardship was decided at the OCU Economic Cooperative Talks held in Alordesh. However, the discussion on the dispatch of additional OCU troops become heated. The dispatch is meant to reinforce the countries with limited military strength. The proposal was strongly opposed by Alordesh, and the Cooperative Talks ended without resolution. OCU Congressman Charles expressed his regret at the failure to reach an agreement. 1.4: Objection to Dispatch of OCU Troops [Adrian Lines, Hanoi] Many countries objected to the OCU Congress's decision to require additional OCU troops. Students in Vietnam conducted a demonstration which resulted in a confrontation with the police. One student died, and more than 100 were arrested. Similar demonstration were held in Alordesh and Thailand. Protests through diplomatic channels are also becoming more active. Since the OCU Congress considers the matter closed, the rise of tension in the area seems unavoidable. 1.5: Casualties in Anti-War Demonstration [Margaret Kimura, Wellington] There was a violent conflict between anti-war demonstrators and police in Wellington. The demonstrators were protesting the dispatch of OCU troops to Japan, following a DHZ invasion of that country. The police in Wellington opened fire at the crowd of demonstrators, resulting in 1 fatality and 12 injuries. At least 90 people were hospitalized in the stampede. The OCU Congress responded to the situation by announcing that the decision will not be overturned. According to the police, more than 105 demonstrators were arrested in New Zealand that day. 2: International 2.1: USN 3rd Fleet Arrives in Guam [Pax Audrey, Guam] The USN 3rd fleet lead by the flagship "Thomas Jefferson" arrived in Talofo, Guam. The port is often used by the USN for OCU related missions. The OCU Congress objected over the fleet's presence. The OCU also ordered its Pacific Fleet, along with the flagship "Crafton," to Guam to carry out surveillance. The North Mariana government suggested that both fleets make their course open to the public. It is not known whether the parties involved will accept the suggestion, meant to circumvent a confrontation. 2.2: President Gorchakov Visits Ravnui [Johnny Kidman, Belarus] President Gorchakov of the Zaftra Republic paid a courtesy visit to Ravnui. The President arrived on the 16th, and is scheduled to visit Ravnui Natipnal Laboratory and other industrial facilities. The National Research Laboratory is one of the largest research organizations in the world, with 35 sites in 11 cities. The "Statue of Peace," contributed by Zaftra, will be presented on the final day of his visit. 2.3: USN Ambassador's House Burns Down in Taipei [Linda Brad, Taipei] The house of USN Ambassador Clay Herman exploded into flames last night. the bodies recovered are presumed to be those of Herman and his family. They are now undergoing DNA testing to verify their identities. The cause of the fire remains unknown, though some attack helicopters were witnessed at the site. The DHZ government is investigating the incident and its relation to the USN squad that dropped into Taiwan near Ba Kui Dam. 2.4: Hua Lian Rebel Uprising [Martin Sandler, Shanghai] The Hua Lian Rebels have taken over Nanjing and continue toward Shanghai. Hua Lian Rebels fought minor skirmishes against the DHZ military in Xiamen and Foshan. It turns out that a large scale battle with the DHZ's elite Rapid Reaction Force also took place in Hengshan. The Rapid Reaction Force lost their mobile ground fortress as a result of this battle. The main rebel forces moved into Nanjing via Wuhan. Local collaborators cooperated in seizing the Nanjing area. The Hua Lian Rebels are now marching toward Shanghai. Many civilians in Shanghai are preparing for evacuation. 2.5: USN Fleet Approaches OCU Territory [Pax Audrey, Guam] The USN fleet, after leaving Guam, changed its predicted course. The USN fleet made repeated attempts to throw off the OCU surveillance team before heading toward OCU territorial waters. There has been no response from the USN to warnings made by the OCU military. The USN 3rd Fleet is one of the major naval forces of the USN. The EC member nations, as well as the OCU, are awaiting an explanation from the USN regarding their actions. 2.6: OCU Reaction to DHZ Invasion of Japan [Ken Odagiri, Canberra] In response to the DHZ invasion, the OCU Congress is sending troops to Japan. The OCU Defense Ministry is organizing a support force to help fight the DHZ. The Pacific Fleet was attacked by a DHZ submarine enroute to Japan, causing a major delay in the arrival schedule. The Defense Ministry organized an air raid in response to the attack. However, the raid is on hold until the Japanese government gives permission. DCN TIMELINE / DCN GRAPHICS (DCNGRAPH/CORPORATION/AUSTRALIA) 1: A.D. 2005 Bangkok Economic Block Established The establishment of the information network in the beginning of the 21st century promoted economic globalization, which in turn led to a formation of major economic blocks that hold a larger share of the global market. Among them was the Bangkok Economic Block, established by former ASEAN member in 2005. It became a backbone of the current OCU. 2: A.D. 2011 The Ship Trinidad Captured A tanker, Trinidad, cruising through the Panama Canal, was captured in 2011 by a US battleship. Americans stop the Trinidad for an inspection, but Australia, who owns the tanker, saw this incident as a warning against the US against joining the Bangkok Economic Block. Their relationship rapidly deteriorated after this incident. 3: A.D. 2015 Australia and Japan Join Economic Block The Bangkok Economic Block grew to become one of the greatest economic powers by 2015. Japan could no longer ignore their presence and moved to join the Bangkok Economic Block. Together with Australia, Japan set up a committee to prepare their entrance into the Bangkok Economic Block. 4: A.D. 2019 Union Renamed With the addition of Australia and Japan, the Bangkok Economic Block moved to expand beyond a simple economic coalition. They renamed the coalition the "Oceana Community Union," or OCU. A national flag design was chosen by contest. 2019 marked the beginning of the OCU. 5: A.D. 2020 Change in Economic Structure 2020 saw drastic change in the economy of countries joining the OCU. The change was caused by the establishment of a unified currency system within the OCU. The unification of currency, while causing minor confusion in the financial sector, was a significant step towards the birth of OCU. 6: A.D. 2021 Rise of Anti-OCU Movement While the OCU was on steady course towards establishment, certain countries were in opposition. The opposing parties saw the OCU as a backward step from independence. The opposition in Southeast Asia was especially strong with regard to Japan joining. 7: A.D. 2023 OCU Cooperative Military The OCU recognized the need for a defensive military to protect the union of countries. The first cooperative units were stationed in Australia, Japan, and Indonesia in 2023. These units developed into the present OCU military. 6: A.D. 2026 OCU Established The OCU was finally established in 2026, after careful preparations, overcoming various obstacles. The process took 21 years from the founding of the Bangkok Economic Block ending 7 years after the name Oceana Community Union was decided upon. The first meeting of the OCU congress was held in Canberra, Australia. Representatives from each country proclaimed their commitment to the union. 7: A.D. 2028 Korea Joins OCU Korea decided to join the OCU in 2028. Situated next to the economic power of the DHZ, and seeing its own market growth slowed by the OCU, Korea determined to join. Many other Central Asian countries joined soon after, forming the current OCU. EDITORIAL OFFICE (DCNEDITOR/CORPORATION/AUSTRALIA) 1: Bulletin Board (DCNBULLETIN/CORPORATION/AUSTRALIA) 1.1: The DCN season is here! When will the participating pilots and wanzers be announced? I'm a big fan of Rox the Tiger. I'd reserve Gold Tickets if he were competing! -ROX MANIAC- >The list of DCN players is in the papers today. Rox the Tiger is listed with his new wanzer from Leonora. Don't forget, we're publishing "Rox the Tiger's Battle Legend 2" before the tournament! Wow, thanks! I'm gonna hit the ticket guide now. -ROX MANIAC- 1.2: Is it true that Jim Makino, the Yokohama Hawks pitcher, will retire due to a knee injury? Does that mean he won't be at next month's game against the Sydney Shotguns? -Heath McKenzie >Makino is having an operation on the artificial ligament in his left knee at the St. Vladimir Hospital in Ravnui. His retirement will probably depend on the operation's outcome. Either way, he won't be in next month's game. That's too bad. I'm getting too old to wait around. I hope that he'll recover soon. -Heath McKenzie 1.3: This is ROX MANIAC! I went to the DCN Cup, only to see Rox beaten by Vampire Kid. Vampire Kid's COM was a converted Guanaco. Isn't it against the DCN regulations? -ROX MANIAC >The use of Guanaco is officially permitted, starting this year. While the conversion of COM is prohibited, our judge did not find any proof of conversion on Kid's COM. DCN tournament is a sporting event. I hope the audience will practice good sportsmanship as well. Hmm, I see. I still sucks that Rox lost the match. My only hope is a revenge match. Any chance? Get 'em, golden tiger! -ROX MANIAC- 1.4: I heard on the news that the asteroid Toutalis is approaching the earth. Is it going to hit us? I saw a report that it's going to hit destroy the earth if it hits. My family is worried. -Ayumi Kawasaki >Toutalis crosses earth's orbit once every 4 years, but there is no possibility of a collision in the near future. There will be a meteor shower, visible to the naked eye, as Toutalis leaves our orbit. How's that for good news? 1.5: ROX MANIAC again. I read the article about Vampire Kid getting arrested for using something called Switch Cocktail. Maybe he was using it at the DCN cup, too. They should check the pilot, as well as the wanzer. -ROX MANIAC- >We all regret the winner of the DCN cup was involved in that incident. However, the DCN doctor confirmed that he tested negative on the day of the tournament. 2: S.I.Team (DCNSIT/CORPORATION/AUSTRALIA) [PW:DCN09] 2.1: [Black Diamond, Jilong] Unusual activities led by the Japanese, the USN, and the DHZ militaries in the Far East. The intelligence agencies of the 3 countries are also involved, but the details of their operations are unknown. The time lag in each military's response indicates this is not a cooperative operation. My investigation will continue. 2.2: [Heart King, Manila] The tension between the USN and OCU recently escalated in the Philippines. I received word that the OCU and the USN are sending units to the area. Activities by a DHZ special task force were also reported. Judging from the lack of activity in diplomatic channels, I will investigate a possible fourth party involved in this story. 2.3: [Spade Red, Washington DC] The USN may be facing a crisis in its relationship with the DHZ. We have two pieces of information: an unconfirmed story that a USN wanzer force landed in Taipei, and that the USN is ready to provide the DHZ "Hua Lian Rebels" with military supplies. Refer to CIU's database on USN-related information. The password is (OTV) 2.4: I'm confused about the "Australian National Lottery" TV commercial. What do they mean by "play without procedure"? -Betsy Smith >It means that the lottery uses your National ID #. You're automatically enrolled in the lottery! You just need to tune into the lottery and await for your number to get called. 2.5: [Silver Queen, Fukuoka] Report in the JDF coup, led by Colonel Takemura. The coup ended without any sign of a clear objective by the coup forces. There are unconfirmed reports of USN soldiers and Hua Lian members in the coup forces. DHZ's invasion of Ocean City seems to lack any rational reason, as well. I will continue the investigation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ac2] Leonora Enterprises (LEONENT/CORPORATION/AUSTRALIA) CORPORATE Leonora Enterprises covers all forms of electronics: from designing and manufacturing wanzers to manufacturing home PCs. Our wanzers, which use the high density processor, "LEORA," hold 40% of the market share in the OCU. We hope to continue our contribution to world peace and technological development. MUNITIONS DIVISION 1: PRODUCTS (LEPROJECTS/CORPORATION/AUSTRALIA) - Kasel M2 - Meledyne M1 - Foura M12A 2: TOPICS (LETOPICS/CORPORATION/AUSTRALIA) 2.1: Leonora Products Available Worldwide Leonora Enterprises' products are used around the world. Our new service to exchange used normal leg parts with hover and caterpillar types is particularly popular among desert regions of Africa. Our new model, the Kasel, is now much stronger with reinforced body armor. It is also equipped with the latest processor, the PPX-2. The surface is coated with a special poly-ceramic planting to prevent deterioration from severe weather. 2.2: We Practice Product Control Our products were not involved in the recent explosion in Batangas, Philippines. Communication with our clients is our policy, and we keep track of all shipped products to prevent illegal use. We also keep track of second-hand machine and parts through out buyback and exchange program. Thus, we can assure you that our organization and clients were not involved in the Batangas incident. 2.3: Leonora Serves Everyone Reconstruction has begun in Batangas, Philippines. We are happy to report that our wanzers are participating in the city's restoration. We are also donating 100 of our construction wanzers to the OCU military for reconstruction. We hope for a speedy restoration of normal life in Batangas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ac3] Jade Metal Lyman (JML/CORPORATION/AUSTRALIA) CORPORATE Welcome to Jade Metal Lyman! We hold a 10-year record as the No. 1 wanzer manufacturer. We lead the munitions industry in the OCU. We also manufacture civilian vehicles in addition to wanzers and assault weapons. I hope you enjoy our display of state-of-the-art technology, backed by experience and thorough research data. PRODUCTS - Zenislev - Genie - Zeros TOPICS 1: Top Sales Results in Industry Our profit increased again in the 4th quarter of this year. We expect to end the year with a large surplus. Sales for this quarter reached 8,759 million Australian dollars. The boost in sales was a result of resupply in Asia. Our civilian aircraft division also marked a 40% increase, making us a leader in the industry. These figures show our strength as the leader of the OCU munitions industry. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our clients. 2: New Continuous Operation Generator Our new generator, the "XL-2000," does not suffer output deterioration even with continuous use. This generator is used in all wanzers starting with the Zeros, and has proven to be much more durable than generators made by other companies. The 100 hour continuous operation test showed only an 8% output deterioration in the XL-2000. Some simulation tests indicated an even more favorable result in battle. In tests our wanzers with the XL-2000 are markedly superior to similar model Leonora wanzers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ac4] Velda (VELDA/CORPORATION/AUSTRALIA) MUNITIONS DIVISION 1: PRODUCTS - Flatbed - MBT2 Kuarve - 40mm Gun - Monster - Cadenza 2: TOPIC 2.1: Velda's Military Vehicles Got Your Back We suggest using traditional armored vehicles over wanzers for backup operations. Data shows a higher rate of pilot survival and firing accuracy in armored vehicles. Deploying a combination of wanzers and armored vehicles is also cost-effective. To best optimize your military, Velda recommends a composite force of armored vehicles and wanzers. 2.2: Mounting Beam Weapons on Armored Vehicles Mounting beam weapons on mobile armored vehicles is considered impossible because of problems in power output. Velda is developing a new generator that converts exhaust heat into power, which may allow practical mounting of beam weapons. The new generator divides the exhaust heat of the beam weapon into pulses, using a special molecular material machine to store it. The stored energy can later be extracted into power. The stored energy can later be extracted into power. This process solves the problem of insufficient output. We may also connect this generator to the wheels of vehicles, for use as auxiliary power.

Say NO! to the Bamarm Rebels: The rebels, based on Mindanao, are using kidnapping and coercion to increase their forces. If any family members are kidnapped or threatened, contact the authorities. The military will carry out rescue operations. 2: Struggle in the Jungle [Alisa story only] The small-scale wanzer fighting in Panay's central jungles was part of a Bamarm rebel raid. The army sent two wanzer platoons that wiped out the guerillas. Army casualties were light, with no fatalities. 3: Negros Fortress [Alisa story only] It has been confirmed that Negros has been captured by the Bamarm rebels. Plans to recapture it are under way and are expected to take a day or two. There is no confirmation the DHZ is aiding the rebels. 4: Mysterious Explosion in Batangas The army has discovered the following regarding the explosion that occurred in Batangas harbor. 1. Debris found after the explosion has confirmed that the ships in Batangas harbor were part of a DHZ invasion fleet. 2. Before the explosion, Manila radar detected a small OCU aircraft taking off from Taal OCU naval base. The OCU military has been questioned regarding the aircraft, but they have not yet responded. The cause of the explosion remains unclear, and investigations will continue until the cause is discovered. 5: DHZ reaction to Batangas The Philippines and OCU are protesting the attempted DHZ invasion of Batangas. However, the DHZ claims the ships were commercial vessels and has demanded an apology from the Philippine government. The government rejects the DHZ claim and will continue with the protest. 6: Increase in OCU Armed Forces Ours and many other OCU nations have rejected the OCU Congress's motion to draft additional troops for military service. Many nations rejected the motion out of fear that the central OCU government would become too powerful. We ask all citizens to support the Philippine government in this very important decision. DATA 1: Troop Deployment 1.1: Luzon The island of Luzon houses the military high command in the capital, Manila, as well as significant land and air forces. Our forces, combined with the OCU naval base at Lake Taal and the OCU air base at Baguio, are protecting the Philippines. 1.2: Leyte Leyte contains the largest naval base with over half the fleet vessels there. The 4th fleet's "Dagat Ahas" carries 20 fighters, marines, and turbo fan hover engines allowing 35 knots. It is truly a mobile sea fortress. 1.3: Mindoro Mindoro is well defended by 3 divisions. The 7th Wanzer and the 5th Infantry divisions at Calapan are both elite units. These units are well versed in landing operations, allowing them to take back any island that might be captured by an enemy. 1.4: Panay Panay has heavy air support. Their radar station is the most powerful in the OCU, monitoring all of the Philippines. The radar site is well defended, as well as neighboring Negros, Cebu, and Masbate islands. 1.5: Negros Negros has 2 divisions stationed at the island's jungle fortress, which uses the terrain to deter attackers. It is equipped to take command should anything happen to the high military command in Manila.

I am the butler, Pierre Wells, and I will be your guide. CORPORATE 1: Luis Industries Luis is best known for its industrial division. This is not automobiles or electronics, but steel. In other words, we provide raw materials for all other industries in the world. We have steel plants in the cities of Laoag, Naga, and Calbayog and export products to Australia, Africa, and Southeast Asia. 2: Luis Construction Another division of Luis is construction. We have built countless high rise buildings, as well as airports, bridges, and harbors. Recent construction projects have included schools and museums, as well as other civic and educational buildings. 3: Luis Department Store Still, Luis is not just large industries. Luis department stores are in all major Philippine cities. Next year, we plan to open stores in Australia as well. We also operate supermarkets and 24 hour convenience stores all over the country. THE LUIS FAMILY 1: Fred Luis Head of the Luis family and president of the Luis Corporation, Master Fred Luis graduated top of his class from Oxford University. Two years later, following in his father Orville's footsteps, Master Luis became president of Luis Construction. When Orville passed away in 2092, Master Luis became president of Luis Corporation, and for 30 years he has guided the Luis family. Master Luis has collected many cars over the years--almost 250-- and every morning still frets over which one to drive. 2: Jenny Luis Master Luis met his wife, Lady Jenny, at Oxford, and, at the age of 22, she joined the Luis family. After Pham's birth in 2096, Lady Jenny concentrated on being a mother. She began helping Fred soon after Lady Pham started school. Lady Jenny, also being a distinguished graduate of Oxford, is currently the president of several Luis Corp. companies. 3: Pham Luis Master Luis' daughter, Lady Pham is 17 years of age. She is a bright young lady, just like her parents. She has been influenced by her many male friends and has decided to take up wanzer and airplane piloting. She even asked Master Luis for a large transport (pictured) for her birthday! Against the will of her parents, she joined the Bamarm rebel forces after graduating from high school. I am very concerned about her, but, as the family butler, I am determined to protect her. 4: Pierre Wells Myself? I am merely a butler... all right. If Lady Pham requests it... I, Pierre Wells, am from Cardiff Wales. At 22, I graduated from the Kingdom School of Butlery. After 3 years of apprenticeship, my master went broke. At that time, I was hired by Master Luis's father Master Orville Luis. I have worked for the Luis family ever since. By the way, the photo is of the tea set I received from Master Luis on my 30th anniversary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ############# #[5.3] Other# ############# [po1] Philippines Liberal Party (PLPARTY/OTHER/PHILIPPINES) TOPICS 1: The Philippines Liberal Party is dedicated to protecting this nation from OCU plundering and attaining independence from the OCU. Those who support us, take up arms and join the revolution! Only we can cleanse our nation of this filth! - Vice President Magarda Bamarm 2: The Philippines Liberal Party has destroyed the army's precious missile site on Panay. Success to revolution! 3: We have captured Negros fortress! On to Luzon and Manila! Down with the government! The time is ripe for the Philippines Liberal Party! It is now the era of the people! INTERNAL [PW:BEFREE] 1: AREAS IN CONTROL 1.1: Currently, only Mindanao is under our control. We are undermanned, with only 20,000 troops, and unable to continue operations. We are receiving aid from overseas, but without additional manpower, our hands are tied. 1.2: The Panay missile site has been destroyed. A flight path to Negros is now open. We still lack manpower, but we make up for it in spirit. 1.3: We have finally taken Negros Fortress. This will convince more to join our cause. We must now land on Luzon and take the capital, Manila. Luckily, our supporters in the DHZ have provided us landing ships. We will use them to land on Luzon and Batangas. 2: MAIL SERVER 2.1: MAGARDA BAMARM 1 From: (deleted) To: Margarda Bamarm Allies will arrive soon to help out with the job. Follow their advice closely. (Re) From: Magarda Bamarm (Re)To: (deleted) I offer full cooperation in exchange for your assistance. However, being at their beck and call is unacceptable. If you are sending as supplies as well, that's a different story, though. 2.2: MAGARDA BAMARM 2 From: Magarda Bamarm To: (deleted) Thanks for the new batch of supplies. The allies you sent are very effective. We will begin operations against the Negros fortress. Once we succeed, the revolution is guaranteed. Then I can repay your kindness. 2.3: MAGARDA BAMARM 3 From: (deleted) To: Magarda Bamarm Congratulations on success at Negros. I am very pleased as well. As I believe you know already, our landing ships are heading for San Jose. Use the troops aboard as you see fit. I wish you success.

The Changli Army was assigned to deal with the rebels. The Chairman also announced that the USN is providing financial aid to the rebels. He warned the USN to stop immediately, in order to avoid further damage to diplomatic relations. 2: Explosion in the Philippines A mysterious explosion occurred in Batangas, Philippines that destroyed our trade vessels. The OCU falsely claims that the fleet played a part in the invasion of Batangas. The DHZ government will file a formal complaint against OCU's statement. 3: Hua Lian Rebel Attack The rebels conducted a surprise attack on our forces in Nanjing and Wuhan. They now occupy the 2 cities. The rebels are moving to take Shanghai. Chairman Jie is deploying the largest force to date against the rebels. We ask the citizens of Shanghai to cooperate with the Changli Army commanders. 4: Retaliation Against Japan Our intelligence revealed that Japan was responsible for the explosion in Batangas that destroyed our trade vessels. Our government approved a reprisal attack against Japan. 3 divisions are headed for Okinawa Ocean City. The chairman will negotiate with the Japanese government after capturing Ocean City. CITIZEN'S PAGE-BULLETIN 1: I'm a 17 year old student hoping to become a wanzer engineer someday. I'll be attending Shanghai University, but I also want to study in the USN. My family is not rich, so I want to take advantage of the scholarships. How do I qualify? -Li >There are currently 3 scholarships offered to students interested in studying wanzer engineering. Shanghai Steel and Tie Wudi Industries also offer corporate scholarships. They both require a high GPA and a personal interview. However, you don't need to study in the USN. Our own wanzers are some of the best. 2: How are Chairman Jie's policies different from the socialist policies of the 20th century? I think his policies stand by opposite to former Chairman Bai's free economy policy. - SHAN >Free economy encourages growth, but government control of the financial sector is necessary to avoid mistakes made by capitalist countries. For example, look at Japan's major recession during the 20th century. 3: I'm a mother of 2 in Hong Kong. We applied for the new public apartment lottery, but we weren't chosen. Is it true that government and military workers get first pick? >Our country guarantees equal right to all citizens. Therefore, lotteries are always conducted in a fair manner. Winning is only a matter of probability. Please wait patiently until the next lottery. 4: I'm a rancher in Jingnan. There's been a string of small earthquakes in this area. Will there be a big earthquake in the near future? The animals seem frightened. I'm very worried. Should I prepare to evacuate? >According to the world renowned DHZ Earthquake Center, there is no threat of large earthquakes in your area. We have a highly trained rescue team in case of emergencies. You have nothing to worry about. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [dg2] Ravnui Embassy (REMBBASY/GOVERNMENT/DAHANZHONG) EMBASSY The Ravnui Embassy is located east of Shanghai.

Ravnui Ambassador, Bal Gorbovsky EMPLOYEES ONLY [PW:REBSY] 1: ACQUIRING MIDAS TECHNOLOGY [PW:PLANM] 1.1: PLAN 1 Acquiring MIDAS: FILE 1 The plan to steal MIDAS and its creator, Emir Klamsky, failed. To get MIDAS past USN inspection, we planned to divide the parts, but safety concerns over the auric radiation control system cancelled this plan. The OCU military seized MIDAS while we were planning transport options. We are investigating its current location. Emir Klamsky is currently heading to Japan with a FAI agent. 1.2: PLAN 2 Acquiring MIDAS: FILE 2 We failed to acquire MIDAS once again. We ordered Lukav to split from the FAI and proceed with retrieval of MIDAS, which was moved from Japan to the Philippines. The plan failed because the OCU used MIDAS in Batangas. However, Lukav reported that copies of MIDAS do exist. He will follow up on this information. 1.3: PLAN 3 Acquiring MIDAS: FILE 3 The JDF Chief of Staff Sasaki had the original MIDAS all along. Lukav, who is on his way to join Sasaki, will provide us with the exact location of MIDAS. Rosavia and Jared were assigned to prevent the USN and Isao Takemura form interfering with our plan. According to Chairman Jie, the DHZ military will join their LST fleet to assist with our Okinawa invasion plan. The DHZ military will fight the JDF, while Jared and Rosavia assassinate the Imaginary Numbers and retrieve MIDAS. 2: MISSING IMAGINARY NUMBERS [PW:ALONE] Missing Imaginary Numbers Information on members who are dead or scheduled for execution.

DHZ Changli Army personnel only. 1: [PW:ADIMS] Location of the original MIDAS <Access level: beyond level D> We received word that the original MIDAS, believed to be lost in the explosion in Batangas, Philippines was transported to Japan. Lukav Minaev, an Imaginary Number, provided this information. Chairman Jie ordered the retrieval of MIDAS upon receiving the information. Lukav was assigned as the operation commander and sent to Japan.

Real Numbers refer to subjects developed from artificial insemination, while "Imaginary Numbers" refers to subjects who were genetically manufactured. Our agent, Lukav, is also an Imaginary Number. We plan to take Imaginary Numbers into custody after the acquisition of MIDAS and use them as research subjects. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ################### #[6.2] Corporation# ################### [dc1] Da Han Daily (DHD/CORPORATION/DAHANZHONG) TOPICS 1: Battle in Taipei A small battle occurred in Taipei between the Hua Lian Rebels and the military. Taipei was quickly liberated by the military, but further increase of rebel activity is expected. There was also a fire at the USN Ambassador Clay Herman's residence. The fire killed the ambassador and several staff members. Thee government is investigating any connection to the rebels, in addition to looking for suspicious foreigners sighted near the embassy. 2: Rebel Attack Warning The Hua Lian Rebels succeeded in occupying Nanjing, after conducting a surprise attack. The rebels also destroyed the Changli Army's mobile fortress "Tianlei." Behind the Hua Lian's success lies USN support through weapons contributions, which may strain the USN's relationship with the DHZ. The rebels are now moving to take Shanghai. Chairman Jie plans to order a full-scale counterattack against the rebels. The government is urging all Shanghai residents to evacuate in accordance with Changli Army instructions. 3: DHZ Forces Occupy Okinawa Ocean City Our government authorized the invasion of Okinawa upon learning of the JDF involvement in the Batangas explosion. 3 divisions of Changli Navy attacked Ocean City and took over all military, government, and civilian facilities in the city. The Japanese government and other OCU members denounced the invasion. However, the JDF has not made any attempt to reclaim Ocean City so far. The recent coup, led by Colonel Takemura, distracted the JDF, which is working to our favor. TIMELINE (DHDT/CORPORATION/DAHANZHONG) 1: Year 2026: OCU Established Japan, Australia, and former ASEAN nations joined together to establish the OCU. There was a territory dispute between the OCU and the DHZ at the time, but DHZ Chairman Bai successfully negotiated a treaty to avoid military confrontation. Pictured: OCU Prime Minister Adam and Chairman Bai in OCU Congress Hall during negotiations. 2: Year 2045: Economic Cooperation with USN Chairman Bai's free economy policy has lead to remarkable economic growth. Cooperative economic efforts with the USN proved especially successful. "Shengxing," pictured, was a product of this effort. The USN opposes the policies of our current government. All USN business moved out of the DHZ after Chairman Bai's death. 3: Year 2071: Nuclear Reductions Chairman Bai began the elimination of nuclear warheads beyond the minimum required for defense. The Huffman Treaty, signed that same year, and the huge cost of maintaining nuclear weapons contributed to the decision. Forty nuclear missile silos and twenty nuclear submarines deactivated as a result. 4: Year 2078: Futai Tunnel Opens The Futai Tunnel, the longest underwater tunnel, connecting Taipei and Fuzhou, opened after 18 years of construction. The Futai Tunnel spread the free economy policies of Taiwan to the DHZ and became the basis of the Huanan-Taiwan Economic Block's establishment. This tunnel not only revitalized the economy, but also became a popular tourist site. Pictured: inside the Futai Tunnel. 5: Year 2097: Introduction of Wanzers The Huffman Treaty began a worldwide trend in the use of wanzers. Our military introduced wanzers into their forces this year. We procured 30 Karm 1A wanzers from Diable Avionics in the USN through economic cooperation program. Domestic production of wanzers also began this year. All wanzers used in the military are now domestically produced. Pictured: Tiandong 3. 6: Year 2104: Government Plane Crashes The plane carrying Vice-Chairman Ming and his family crashed in the mountains of Sichuan while en route to India. All members of the Ming family died in the accident. Ming Huang Jiu was a popular politician who pushed the DHZ towards a capitalist economy. Guests from around the world attended his state funeral. Pictured: the same model of plane that crashed. 7: Year 2112 Jan.: Chairman Bai's Death Chairman Bai Remembered Chairman Bai, the man who led us through major economic and political changes for 50 years, died at the age of 89. Leaders from around the world gathered to mourn his death. Chairman Bai designated Vice-Chairman Ming as his successor, but he didn't designate anyone in case of Ming's death, so Jie Bo Liao, assistant vice-chairman, has become chairman. Pictured: Chairman Bai's funeral. 8: Year 2112 Feb.: People's Republic of DHZ Chairman Jie announced his "free economy management" policy, and changed the country's name to "People's Republic of Da Han Zhong." The free economy management shifts control of the economy from the private sector to the government. This policy faced opposition in and out of the DHZ, and put a stop to the DHZ's democratization. Pictured: Chairman Jie ay inauguration 9: Year 2112 Aug.: Hua Lian Rebels Formed Huanan-Taiwan Economic Block businessmen and Bai's generals strongly opposed Chairman Jie's new regime. Advocates of democracy gathered to take military action. The military managed to quell the situation, but the core members of the uprising escaped to a city in southern DHZ and officially announced the establishment of "Hua Lian Rebels." EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT (DHDEO/CORPORATION/DAHANZHONG) 1: Messages 1.1: Message 1 I own some Shanghai Steel stock, but I'm worried that Chairman Jie's policies might lower the value of the stock. I'm also worried about the exchange rate of our currency to the euro and the former dollar. Should I sell the stock now? -Kuan >The stock market is hard to predict. The exchange rate will be influenced by next week's meeting of the International Bank. The Federal Reserve Bank chairman plans to make an important announcement. I'd wait on selling the stock until then. Thanks for the information. I'll wait and see what happens -Kuan. 1.2: Message 2 I'm a 27 year-old repairman. I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong in the fall. Any suggestions on places to visit? I'm also going to Macau to gamble. -Spark >Hong Kong offers many sightseeing opportunities. Victoria Peak is very famous. Nanhai Bar is a great dining spot. I recommend the casinos in RBC Hotel and Queen Park. If you're going in the fall, why not go during the Macau Grand Prix? 1.3: Message 3 I'm a novice calligraphy collector. I saw a piece by the great calligrapher Wang Yu at an antique store in Beijing. It's expensive, but not so expensive that I can't afford to buy it. Should I make the purchase? -Chao >The works of Wang Yi are coveted around the world. However, the one you saw in the antique store is probably a fake. All of Wang Yi's works are stored in the museums of Beijing and Taiwan. If an unregistered piece were discovered, the price would be astronomical. Thank you for your advice. It was foolish of me to think that Wang Yi's work would be displayed at a simple antique shop! I'm embarrassed by my question. -Chao 1.4: Message 4 Your paper reported on students who started a volunteer group to help the victims of the rebel attacks. I'd like to participate, but I lost the information. How can I contact them? -Baishun >The Shanghai-Beijing student group is organizing the relief effort. You can visit their web site for detailed information. They are accepting volunteers to help in the relief effort, as well as supplies and monetary donations. 1.5: Message 5 I heard that the Int'l Wanzer Sports Commission will eliminate DHZ from the roster, in protest of DHZ's attack on Japan. Does this mean we won't get to see Liu Xiao Ping compete for the world cup? Tell me this isn't true. -Huang >I can assure you that it's a false rumor started by the fans of the OCU Philippines team, who lost in the preliminary round. Aside from the fact that our military's attack on Japan is justified, the IWSC has not made any move to validate the rumor. Okay, I feel better now. Why can't people separate politics from sports? It's so unfair to the athletes. -Obert 2: Special Investigation [PW:08DHMD] 2.1: Data 1 The DHZ has become unstable since the inauguration of Chairman Jie. This article may never get published, but I will write it anyway. News media around the country received word that USN's special forces are in the DHZ. The DHZ government denies the report, claiming they are Hua Lian guerillas. However, there is no mistaking that they are from the USN. It might be linked to the FAI's recent activities. Why is the government covering up the USN infiltration. What is USN doing in the DHZ? My investigation has just begun. -DHD reporter, Yang Xiangpo 2.2: Data 2 USN forces have entered Taipei. This is a fact. Many people in Taipei witnessed the USN wanzers. The government claims the wanzers belong to the rebels, but there are eyewitnesses reports of a caucasian pilot ejecting from a wanzer. The USN forces went through the Futai Tunnel, presumably to infiltrate mainland DHZ. They might contact the Hua Lian, so I'm contacting a reporter with the rebel contacts. -DHD reporter, Yang Xiangpo 2.3: Data 3 Spoke with Reporter X, who has connections inside the Hua Lian, in Hanzhou. The USN squad is now working with the rebels. He also told me that the late Vice-Chairman Ming Huang Jiu's son is alive, and he is now a rallying figure for the rebels. My guess is that the USN (or the FAI special forces) plan to defeat Chairman Jie's regime by working with the rebels. It's very possible, since Jie is trying to cut economic ties with the USN. -DHD reporter, Yang Xiangpo 2.4: Data 4 Rebel activity has suddenly stopped. The location of the USN squad is also unknown. The government claims to have defeated the rebels, but it's hard to believe. Even the Rapid Reaction Force couldn't defeat the rebels. I'm guessing the USN squad already left the DHZ. The USN squad's mission remains unknown, but one thing I know for sure, is that they were not here to defeat Jie's regime. It was just wishful thinking. -DHD reporter, Yang Xiangpo 2.5: Data 5 Met with Reporter X in Shanghai. He'll publish a book in Japan on the Hua Lian's activities. I asked hum why the USN forces came to the DHZ, but there was no answer. My investigation was a waste of time. Reporter X gave me a paper napkin with the letters "MIDAS" written on it. I asked him what it meant. He said that the USN soldiers said that word numerous times while working with the rebels. Even the rebels didn't know what it meant. I'm preparing to leave the DHZ. I might be able to enter USN through the EC. I don't know what I'll find, but this word might lead to something. Then I may write another article that won't get published. -DHD reporter, Yang Xiangpo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [dc2] Shanghai Steel (SSCO/CORPORATION/DAHANZHONG) CORPORATE Shanghai Steel Co. works to create weapons with the latest technology for the prosperity and everlasting peace of the DHZ. 90% of weapons and vehicles used by the army and the navy are products of our own design.

INTERNAL 1: [PW:IAF001] 1.1: MIDAS Matter Irradiating Dissociative Acceleration System. A device using auric radiation to create energy. Able to separate the positrons, neutrons, and electrons in auric radiation to extract energy. Auric radiation has vast kinetic energy and breaks the molecular bonds of anything in its path. On contact with water molecules in the air, auric radiation turns into a stable element, loses all energy, and poses no threat to organisms or the environment. 1.2: MIDAS AS A WEAPON MIDAS has potential as a new energy source. The military potential is outlined below. 1. Energy Capacity: Current models are less effective than nuclear weapons, but more effective models can be made. 2. Reduced Costs: The weapons output is adjustable. Separate tactical and strategic weapons are not needed, resulting in lower costs. 3. Deterrence Factor: The auric radiation used in MIDAS is stable once it fuses with water; therefore it does not cause contamination. Nuclear weapons only have deterrent value, but MIDAS can be used as a conventional weapon with the power of a nuclear weapon. Currently, auric radiation is not stable, but Emir Klamsky's research team is researching this. 1.3: THE ORIGIN OF MIDAS Head of MIDAS research is Emir Klamsky, with labs in Alaska, Vermont, and California. So far, her team is the only one to successfully contain auric radiation.

There are currently 35 specialized branch laboratories in 11 cities, all working to improve the quality of life for Ravnuians. LOCATIONS Major Laboratories General Medical: Minsk, Yamalka, Dabrov Engineering: Gomery, Sabrav, Bykinoska, Brest Triev. Political Science: Bobruisk Energy/Radiation: Orsha Financial: Gomery RESTRICTED ACCESS [PW:RAT2C] 1: INFORMATION ON MIDAS The explosion that occurred in the Philippines several days ago was probably caused by a radiation weapon developed by the USN. The theory behind MIDAS was developed in our Orsha lab by the Roland/Hanna Klamsky research team. Bal insists that Klamsky's daughters have no connection with MIDAS, but we shall conduct an independent investigation. 2: WHEREABOUTS OF IMAGINARY NUMBERS Bal, the organizer of the Imaginary Numbers, has also reported that all the adult IN members are either dead or missing. We are currently trailing some IN escapees. However, the number of escapees is far lower than reported by Bal. He may have altered information. While the background of Bal's associates is clean, it is possible that they have fake identities. 3: BAL GORBOVSKY DECEASED Bal, the Ravnui ambassador to the DHZ, is dead. The cause of death is unclear, but it's most likely related to MIDAS. The Imaginary Numbers and Real Numbers close to Bal are missing. We are trying to located them. 4: IMAGINARY NUMBERS [PW:OVERRN] 4.1: CREATION Imaginary Number Creation: Created by inserting artificial DNA into human cells, then gestated in a surrogate mother. Before the IN program, subjects called Real Numbers were created through artificial insemination, but their abilities were not focused. In the IN program, complete control of abilities was achieved, making IN superior to RN subjects 4.2: EDUCATION Imaginary Numbers Education: Specimens require proper education to take full advantage of their abilities. The surrogate mother raises IN subjects for 10 years after their birth. Subjects are educated in the lab after 3 years of age. Once abilities develop fully, subjects are moved to the lab. This prevents ability deterioration from home education. Mature subjects are moved to learning institutions in their field of expertise. Once education is complete, they are assigned to government positions. 4.3: DEFECTES Imaginary Numbers Defects: IN program research has continued for 40 years. While theoretically perfect, there are flaws. About 40% of subjects have died from cancer or other genetic causes. Psychological problems were also common. Therefore, as of 21091, only 1 to 2 IN were produced per year, and all flawed subjects were eliminated. 4.4: THE KLAMSKY FAMILY [PW:KLAMSKY] 4.4.1: HANNA KLAMSKY Hanna Klamsky: Physicist.

The USN was the first to show interest in this new mechanism. The prototype WAW (wanderung wagen) was built jointly by Schnecker and Diable. WAW began service in the USN military. To reduce initial development costs, MULS (multi-unit link system) specifications were created. The MULS-P specification resulted in a machine known as WZR (wanzer, and abbreviation of "wanderung panzer"). 2: History of the Wanzer--Growth After the USN's large WZR orders, the EC and OCU also adopted the WZR in 2040. WZR development became widespread, and, with over 15,000 in service, the WZR became the main weapon of the world's armies. The WZR proved its worth in the 2 Huffman Wars. The USN and OCU were the first to use WZRs against each other in combat, changing ground warfare dramatically. With the end of the Huffman Wars, the use of wanzers increased dramatically. 3: Maturity In the 90 years since the first WZR, continual improvement has brought the machine to near-perfection. But development will not stop here. Schnecker will continue research to develop WZRs to meet the defense needs of the world.

At this point, too many problems to mass-produce. 2: Report: IVAN Name: Ivan Larzalev [Code:TAX05] Escaped Shanghai lab Sept. 2112. Under care of the DHZ's Hua Lian Rebels. This information is being confirmed. An Imaginary Number of very high quality. Escaped with classified information. Assassination recommended. Addendum: The Hua Lian Rebels web site's internal password: "INKAREN" Troop deployment: "SMAP" 3: Report: ANTHONY Name: Anthony Barkins Nickname: Norman Bates [Code:TVX032] Missing since March, 2111 investigation in the USN. Later arrested in Virginia as serial killer "Norman Bates." In the custody of the FBI. The FBI announced that Anthony Barkins is involved in 17 cases (23 victims total) and 25 other suspected cases. According to inside information, he is in a state of complete dementia, making it impossible to collect any statements. All information regarding the mission was collected prior to his arrest. There is no need to eliminate him. Addendum: The new password to the DHZ intelligence web site: "FIINO" 4: TRIAL Report Does anyone remember the legendary web tracing program "Scanner" from 2099? A program that tracks the target user and records all activities of the target on the net. I succeeded in acquiring this program. It's hidden in Twin Tiger's new OS. It's not a complete Scanner program. It only uses a part of Scanner technology. I took the fragment of Scanner from the new OS and rebuilt a complete Scanner program out of it. It was not an easy task. I used my new Scanner on the OCU Intelligence web site. It returned within 5 minutes with passwords for the search menu and JDF Intelligence. Search Menu: "G3F9A" JDF Intelligence: "J1D2F3" They were both correct. Scanner will open up the entire world for spenders. 5: CIU Command File Here is the password to the JDF Intelligence web site. Password: "D07" Once inside, punch in "MM" to see the MIDAS retrieval operation. ############################################################################### #EMMA TEXT DATA # ############################################################################### 1: Twin Tiger Hint Until the time comes, he lies next to the writing on the wall. "AN012PC" "345SF" "GT678VIH" "JW9XY" 2: P.S.I.A Report Armored Kinkakuji Special Edition Here are some hints on unlocking passwords to may web sites. Certain web sites require password to access information you want to see. A key to figuring out the password is to find a rule the web site uses. The Department of Public Safety replaces letters with numbers in their file password. "P=9 H-8 O-0 S=2" The 4 letters are replaced by numbers. Internal information password replaces JAPAN's P with 9, making it JA9AN." Other pages follow the same rule. The encryption used is different with each web site, and not all sites use this method. Personnel data might use that person's name as its password. It's like a game. Enjoy the challenge. 3.

I roam the net, I collect data, and I sell it. I talk to people with no names, and they don't know me. Spenders are famous for placing their trust in money. Maybe it's because we're trying to find some certainty in an uncertain world. My client this time is the military. The cash is good, but it's doubtful that they'll pay up. My job is to hack into the Ravnui Embassy web site to find certain information. The web site looks like a travel guide, but I find a restricted access page. I use my own password deciphering tool to find the password "REBSY." I enter, but I can't find the file I'm looking for. Was it deleted? I get nervous. If I take too long, someone will notice. I take a guess and enter a file name: "PLANM." It's correct. It must be my lucky day. I download it and exit the site. The job is done. I look at the data I fliched. It's quite interesting. It connects all the events around the world. I can use this knowledge to make more money. According to the file, "it" was developed in the USN Radiation Research Lab. I jump to the USN web site and punch in "SURSLN." I found an interesting bit of info in the lab personnel page. There is a woman named Emir Klamsky who is originally from Ravnui. A beautiful woman. 2: CIU Log File ////////////// /Logfile547131/ /CIU / /GOVERNMENT / /AUSTRALIA / ///////////// DAY 2111.09.01 IN TIME 18.15.08 OUT TIME 19.54.17 ...LOGIN NAME/ MAYER EDWARD FILE ACCESS GATE/ REGIONAL FILE PASS/ DJV FILE ACCESS GATE/ ES ASIA FILE PASS/ FTBTJB COPY INDIA.ECOMAP EXIT FILE ACCESS GATE/ OCU CENTRAL PASS/ PDV EXIT LOGOUT... = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = [III] E-mail Addresses ���������������������� O=====================================O |# | NAME | E-MAIL ADDRESS | O=====================================O |01| Hidekazu Koike | KOIKE@0730 | |02| Yuichi Kiryu | KIRYU@0730 | |03| Hodaka Mikifune | HODAKA@0700 | |04| Sybil (FBI) | SYBIL@0310 | |05| Susan Armstrong | SUSAN@0300 | |06| Hatta Mirza | HATTA@5299 | |07| Woo | WU@3499 | |08| Yue | YUE@0899 | |09| Ran Fong | RANFON@0899 | |10| Lixian | LIXIAN@0800 | |11| Luo | LUO@0899 | |12| Barden Barilar | BARDEN@5230 | |13| Hasegawa | HASE@0705 | |14| Doctor K | DOCTORK@0700 | |15| Pierre Wells | PIERRE@1600 | |16| Mori | MORI@0711 | |17| Wen | WEN@0899 | |18| Moneymaker | MONEY@3499 | |19| Square Soft | SQUARE@0730 | O=====================================O The mail addresses are a combination of: [NAME]@[2-digit COUNTRY#][2-digit ORGANIZATION#] COUNTRY#: 07 - Japan 03 - USN 08 - Da Han Zhong 16 - Philippines 34 - Singapore 52 - Indonesia I'm not sure about the organization numbers but '30' seems to be for corporations. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = [IV] Passwords �������������� O==========================================================================O |# |COUNTRY|WEB SITE |WHAT FOR? |PASS/NAME| O=========================================================-================O |01|JP |JDF Intelligence |Access to web site |D07 | |02|JP |JDF Intelligence |Project (MIDAS) |MM | |03|JP |JDF Intelligence |Ground Force Staff |SA2KI | |04|JP |JDF Intelligence |Mobile Assault Force |BLACKI | |05|JP |Japan Defense Force |Download Org.
