The man on the telecom is Adachi Dosan, Nagato Director of Intelligence, and his manner is modest and conciliatory. "My agents have heard only rumors concerning White Octagon, Machiko-san," he says. "We are investigating these rumors, but currently we know very little about this group. They are apparently a local bias group, virulently anti-meta. I have nothing as yet to tie White Octagon to the attacks on Nagato Combine. One source indicates that they may be a splinter faction of other, better-known bias groups, but this again is mere speculation."
