SUBJECT: INITIAL FINDINGS FROM UN ANTARCTICA/SECOND IMPACT INVESTIGATION
(S) An informal talk with personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and the Ministry of Defense (MOD) last night resulted in gleaning some early information from the ongoing UN investigation into the 'Second Impact' incident. The general feeling of the participants was that the majority of the blame is likely to be laid at the feet of the late Dr. Hideaki Katsuragi, leader of the classified UN expedition to Antarctica. END SUMMARY.
-- While details remain scarse at this time, the group consensus was that the investigation's initial findings were focused on Dr. Katsuragi's conduct and management of the test site in Antarctica. The participants unanimously agreed that the initial data clearly showed that the destruction of the continent was the direct result of the mishandling of the ADAM entity. While it was still unclear if the fault originated with his own actions or those of his subordinates, the general perception within the Ministries seems to be that liability inevitably falls to Katsuragi, if only as a matter of command responsibility. One official confided that those "in the know" within the Japanese government have taken to calling Second Impact "the Katsuragi disaster."
-- It was mentioned in the same conversation that Katsuragi's young daughter (the lone survivor of the expedition) recently returned to Japan, following some sort of medical or psychiatric treatment in Europe. The individual who brought up the item went on to comment: "Think about what that must be like. For the rest of her life, she'll be the daughter of the man who killed half of the world. She was even there when he did it!" The group went on to discuss possible historical parallels, e.g. the offspring of Hitler or Stalin.

From this, it seems the US State Department is currently uninterested in probing further into Second Impact. Please forward to the Adamists and our allies within the American intelligence agencies; request they encourage this tendency wherever possible. -- Ikari
