[ The video starts with Kaneki sitting on an old couch, in a place that looks like an old warehouse. There are old kitchen appliances there as well, some seem to be in good shape, but most are broken and battered. He is also holding on to a file of sort, which he will be reading as he speaks ]

Last month we had a black-out and following that, someone released hundreds of criminals. Like it was mentioned before, someone heard German being spoken and Russian technology was found on the scene. Some of us decided to go after a couple of clues related to all of that, and that lead us to Liechtenstein. In Europe, yes, a Russian allied country and they speak German there. [ This was the first time he went to Europe, actually, and it was on a spy mission. There is something to say about that ]

We found a couple of things, which I believe you’d be interested in. [ he finally starts flipping through the pages of the folder he has in his hands ] The place we broke in was a laboratory and we found many references to the American technological company DARPA - known for the creation of the imPocreats that had attacked Philadelphia some months ago. The employees they referenced in these files, including those who helped creating imPocreat technology, either quit prior to the Philadelphia attacks or were fired after the fact and none of them work for DARPA. [ he looks back at the camera ] In fact, we found a few imPocreats submerged in tanks. They were experimenting on them in many different and kind of grotesque ways, but we aren’t sure what they were trying to do since there was no documentation. [ no way he is telling the network they actually stole one of those things. That’s something for later on. He is quick to go back to the file to continue reading it. ]

They also had documentation on Tony Stark's metahumans . It was mostly information that the public already knows, but it seems they have been experimenting on DNA with special interest in the idea of a metahuman gene. Along with this, we also found documentation on imPort powers, specifically what we have shown to the public before.

Finally, the foreign technology the laboratory was working on appeared to be Russian in nature. They have advanced and futuristic EMPs and Electronic Disruptors, and plans and prototypes for invisibility aeroplanes that appear to be able to achieve fuel efficiency for around-the-world journeys. [ Kaneki puts down the file and leans back in his seat, while one of his gloved hands reaches for the eyepatch covering the left eye and adjusts it ]

That's all. But if you have any questions, I can try answering. The USA government knows all of this, since we shared this information with them.

[ Note: Some sort of catch-up if you will! Misfire plot, which was followed by a Blackout and Prison break. The Prison break was investigated ICly by other characters and their findings can be found here. The mission Kaneki is talking about happened in private, but I’ve written everything down about how it all begun and what happened during it. The ImPocreat parts they stole are NOT available YET and no one but the members of this mission knows about it; this will be for a future plot, but for now it’s hidden. ]

You seem to be under the impression that wars are won by playing nice.

Collaboration without direction is usually more like chaos. It rarely works.

Maybe they are won by facing the enemy that attacks you.

But maybe also attacking other countries works too, specially when the rest of the world frowns upon that and might cause you to lose allies.

They aren't won by playing nice. They aren't won by playing stupid either.

Some of us seem to be taking up the responsibility more than others.

[Otherwise imPorts wouldn't be ruining Swearing In ceremonies quite as frequently.]

They should. Who knows if the feds are going to share this information with the local law enforcement.

What is your weirdest?

Tell me more about the Fates. Have you met them personally or spoke to them?

Yes, true. And I admit it doesn't always work well.

If we tell local law enforcement, they will immediately jump on the government. I fear they might take measures against us, who want to find out more, and keeps us even further out of the loop.

Sure. We will meet there. And yes, they have done that. And in fact, we never hear about any of it again. A lot of the things we find and share, don't get a return from them; they don't talk to us. [ unless they need something, sure ]

There is still much we need to learn and much we need to do. Stopping now will make what we found completely useless because we can't use it in any way. I don't doubt there will be much dirt along the way. But honestly, it's about time we open our eyes.

[ There's a long pause and a low whistle while the Doctor thinks... ]

Either the land mines that turned people into trees or evil snow.

Isn't that just being picky with the information at this point? Local law enforcement's the ones that have to deal with whatever happens in the next attack on one of the porter cities, before the feds show up.

And if other countries are harboring assets, making them de facto allies? You've attacked your enemy, little more.

I hear what I was looking for was confiscated.

Red herring. They don't even have to create or spread their own propaganda.

Then we don't stop. I think whatever people thought before today, you gave them something else to think about. Anyway, I'll see you soon.

so are you going to tell me what it is or is being vague just a hobby of yours

I never said she wouldn't be told outright. I get on just fine with her boyfriend, he's the one who watched Ashiah while I was out of the country. He can tell her.

congratulations youve just jinxed it

ive at least encountered all of them
carrying on a conversation is another matter

youve heard plenty about lachesis im sure
but ill summarize nonetheless
every import in the city had direct access to lachesis upon arrival
we didnt have the receiving party we do here and most of the functions they provide were taken care of by her
minus the nanites and the job placements and the files
she would only give us a communicator and a pair of dog tags and send us on our way
any time we died our bodies would break down within a day or so and then we would eventually reappear in the porter after a week or so
there was just a single apartment building that with electronic locks that the dog tags could open
and we would get a weekly stipend to an account connected to them also
i guess they were really more like miniature credit cards

anyway she would address us on occasion but not often
i never really responded to her because i didnt have much to say
and she didnt care for most of what we mightve said anyway
i think she simply enjoyed fucking with us
i still dont know how many of the odd events we would encounter were her doing and how many were just attributed to her as an easy scapegoat
im sure it was a high occurrence of both

her sisters were a bit different in that they had something closer to bodies where lachesis only had a housing
(and access to probably every network available on the planet and possibly every other planet and universe as well)
clotho had a torso and even something like arms
but she was far more bound than lachesis
we only encountered her on another earth where vulcanus ruled
it was called new vesuvius
i cant recall if that was the world or just america
they had summarily executed every import that had arrived to that world
so by the time we arrived clotho perhaps saw some kindred spirits
prisoners and weapons like she was
she seemed guilty for failing to save them
so she aided us in escaping from that world
i still think she may be in play and have no doubt her bonds were restored
shes the only porter ive encountered that could legitimately be controlled and was

and atropos came at the end
as a deathbringer must
i feel like vulcanus must have called her somehow
its the only way i can think to explain how their operatives were waiting for us when she came
which means they went so far to rid us from their world that they decided that destroying that world was their only recourse
perhaps they didnt want it anymore after they made their own perfect world in new vesuvius
but they couldnt leave well enough alone either
so the goddess came and bit the world in half in the most literal way possible
she swallowed the city whole and left us to wander in its ruis for a week while vulcanus tried to pick us off
until lachesis had exerted herself for long enough that we could escape to this world

Oh! Yeah, I can work with that, Josuke's good people.

So we ignore Russia, the obvious target.
We turn on the government. Our protectors, benefactors, sugar teat, paternal hand.

Being vague is a specialty.

PRIVATE:

I need to look at everything. The tapes, the technology, the notes. All of it. Do you want my credentials?

I don't trust either. Not with our lives. There's no filial piety to be had.

I would hope so. But we quickly forget a lot of things, too. [ yes they do. They forgot the Russians, and the porter, and the fact that Lachesis is missing. They forget a lot. ]

Evil snow?

No, they didn't. They attacked cannon fodder.
