[ Kaneki is too much of a mess to give you video or even audio but he doesn't care about his own health when there are things to share and do, so he will make it a text instead ] By now, I'm sure most of us know there were clones aroud. [ he can't say everyone noticed it, he knows there are some more distracted than others looking at you, Junseo ] I hope these past two weeks weren't that insane to you.

Regardless, while that happened, a group of imPorts were trying to find information. It wasn't about Heaven Scent and the clones at first, but about DARPA and OTO as a follow-up of our mission back in February. OTO used to be DARPA'S branch and was responsible for creating imPocreats that attacked a Swear-In in 2016, however after we talked to some of DARPA's people we found that OTO defected because they weren't satisfied that their dangerous projects kept getting shut down. They are considered traitors and though their laboratories are back in Liechtenstein which is a Russian ally, OTO appears to be apolitical and anational and appear to love money. [ so yes, they highest bidder often gets their support ] They appear to be an international corporation based in Liechtenstein or runs its money through their markets.

while we were trying to find clues and evidence of OTO in US territory, we came across an oil baron in Mexico named Arturo Campana, who had been in contact with OTO. Upon further research- [ by research kaneki means: they raided his office ] -we found that Campana also had contact with Heaven Scent as well with one Audric Müller, which was a name we found on OTO's files back in February.

OTO and Heaven Scent are related. In fact, Heaven Scent, who started all of this mess with clones, is a subsidiary of OTO who seems to dislike imPorts quite a lot.

We found a handwritten address in Richmond, Virginia, and this address is to an industrial complex that we are certain is run by Heaven Scent. We believe it's their main facility and laboratories, and it's of our interest to stop them to avoid more evil clones running around and trying to kill us. However, our group is small and we can not do this on our own. We need more people to help us raid and shut down this place as soon as possible - the government is willing to support us on this as well. If you are interested in helping, we could use more hands and power, because we are sure this is not going to be easy.

If you have any other questions about all of this, just ask. I'll try to answer what I know. [Kaneki will also link to the past February investigation, if anyone wants to know a bit more about OTO]



Unrelated: The :Re Café will be closed until the 15th August. But if there is anything you really need, contact me anyway, I will get it for you. [ he is talking to his special clients]

[ It wasn't the first time posts like this had appeared on the network, and Adachi felt like kicking himself for ignoring them for this long. He stared at the acronym "OTO", frowning to himself. He knew he had seen something like that before... something back home, from when he was in the academy, but... ]

[ That couldn't be the same thing here too, right? ]

Do you have the full meaning behind OTO?
It's short for something, right?

[Text]

[ghoulking]

They are "Otherworldly Technologies Organization". Which is fitting since they seem to have interest on us.

[sleight_of_hand]

Oh good.
For a moment there I thought you were going to spit latin out at me.

[ No way it could be the same with a name like that. ]

[crimeboy]

[Akira will take a mental note of the more serious information. He isn't sure he could or should offer to help raiding any facilities. Not only would it possibly blow his cover, but he was lacking in power currently. But there was a part he should respond to.]

Let me know if you need any help around the cafe between now and the re-opening. I'd be happy to keep things clean and make sure the stock is all good, take inventory or whatever else you need.

[As for money, well... Akira has his ways of making money.]

[ghoulking]

[ kaneki still plans on paying his employees, it's not their fault their boss is a huge mess ]

I'd appreciate it, Akira-kun. You don't need to go there everyday, but every three days or so to see no one broke in and keep stock and things neat.

Most things in the fridge need to go, I can do that though.

[crimeboy]

You got it! I'll leave the fridge to you.

Keep me updated if there are any changes.

[He has no idea what's going on, but he'll play the role of a model employee until he can find out more without prying.]

Well if you're closing up shop for awhile then I really don't have any excuse to wait around while the rest of you handle business. You can count me in. This clone stuff needs to be ended and what better way then taking out the source.

Are you sure you're up for it?

[ghoulking]

of course I am. I have to. Like you said, this has to end.

[itssacrifice]

I just mean you were in pretty bad shape at the swear-in. I don't want you pushing yourself too hard.

As commander of RISE, I have access to weapons- it's not implausible to think they'd have access to nullifying technology like the Hornets and the Russians did, so make sure you have some way to fight besides your powers if you're going with us.

Voice ; private

[ghoulking]

Hopefully with really good control on those, we don't want them to mysteriously disappear. [ and then RISE getting the blame if they are used for something bad ]

Voice ; private

[bindsthedead]

Obviously. Although Armstrong had some private caches I can dip into.

[dun_moch]

So we have been under attack by a renegade element of the government's military machine. Most distressing.

You and your allies have done us all a great service in exposing this truth. You will have my full support in destroying this threat once and for all.

[ghoulking]

And not entirely surprising.

Thank you, Count Dooku. We need all the hands we can get for this if we want to at least end this branch of OTO, and stop all this clone madness.

[dun_moch]

I predict this will not be the end of it, however. If this is the same organization that also created the blackouts, then they have resources and schemes beyond what we have already uncovered.

[PRIVATE]

My allies have been hard at work on their own investigation. Their results will be released to the Network shortly. Behind a safe proxy, of course.

This is Alibaba. I promised hacking lessons, that might have to wait longer. I want to look into this Heaven Scent more.

Where is this facility?

;text

[ghoulking]

Thank you for your help, but here is the problem.
If I give you and anyone else the address to this facility, and everyone decides to go on their own and with their own group, this will be chaotic and we will lose the element of surprise. We can't afford disorganization.

If you want to aid us, we are welcoming more help. But we can't give away the address unless it's for those who want to come with all of us.

;text

[codeoracle]

We will help. My team will want to--clones have caused us a lot of trouble.

I can wait to receive a direct address until we're ready to move. A general location would work for communicating with my team, so we're prepared to do what we can.

[lempereur]

Thank you for sharing your information. It is quite enlightening. And disturbing.

I would like to go with you. They can make us look bad if they want, but as soon as they use us to hurt others, they must be stopped.

[ghoulking]

But not surprising. Natives have shown their interest on us many times.

Thank you. Once we have gathered everyone, we will eventually have to meet and discuss things. [ basically he is implying that "Fox" can't be in the shadows all the time.

Though Fox can bring a hero-suit if he wants ]

[lempereur]

Not surprising in the slightest.

Of course. Cooperation is essential. You can reach me back here.

[governorkang]

I will be more than happy to help. Those bastards somehow got my blood without my permission and I'd like to know how.

[ghoulking]

Really?

You didn't offer them your DNA or anything of the sort? Or, did you use their clonekits?

Text;

[aberranthubris]

I do not know how those people got their hands on my DNA, but unfortunately it happened. If you've had some interaction with my clone and he did something strange, I apologise for my part in all this.

I would like to help as much as I can. I can't be much of assistance physically but perhaps I could offer some support with my powers.

Text;

[ghoulking]

Apparently it happened to someone else as well. Honestly, thinking back, it's not so difficult to get our DNA - they can just grab a cup we used.

We'd appreciate your help, Charles. I'm certain we will need your powers, to at least try to figure out things a bit.
