- Major Kenji
- Internal Affairs pulled Akira's flight logs. They think the ambush was leaked from inside Phoenix Squad.
- PILOT
- That ambush wasn't Aurora. The frames were unmarked, the tactics were wrong. Somebody new is playing both sides.
- Major Kenji
- You know that. I know that. Command prefers the story where it's a traitor they can shoot. So we clear our own names — quietly.
- Lieutenant Nakamura
- The evidence trail runs through a Cygnus subsidiary office. Corporate ground. Tread carefully — everything in there is somebody's secret.
- Ensign Yusuke
- For the record, I called 'corporate involvement' three weeks ago. Nobody wrote it down. I wrote it down. I have it right here.

- Lieutenant Nakamura
- Records secured. The 'leak' originated outside both militaries. Weapons shipments, mercenary contracts... all signed with a red wolf's head.
- Major Kenji
- Red Wolves. I thought they were a scavenger myth mothers scared cadets with.
- PILOT
- Myths don't file purchase orders, Major.
- Major Kenji
- No. They don't. Get this to Akira — and to no one else. Trust just became a luxury.
