Vadumverse series/Conspiracy

"What do you think of this?" Andrew Cross said sternly, clasping his hands on the desk.
Across from him was Special agent Jason Miller, his shoulders square and his spine upright in his seat. He'd started work four months ago and still had the exacting discipline of someone eager to be as professional as the veterans.
"Sounds like the guy's just speculating. I mean this could all be theoretical with no proof existing to back his theory."
Five minutes and thirty seconds into the footage and Jason's face showed an expression of confusion. He then mouthed, "What?" He continued on listening to more of the footage, already six minutes in, "So technically ONI commits kidnapping, which is a felony in itself."
Andrew nodded slightly as the footage continued to play. He felt a sense of unease from Jason's accusation, but disregarded the comment as irrelevant to their current case. 
"This reporter is really starting to annoy me with the interruptions." Jason said as he took a pen out of a coffee mug, twirling it between his middle and ring finger, "Forty years ago, pft."
Jason immediately stopped twirling and placed the pen on the table, leaning forward in disbelief as the reporter talked about the fabricated seals, the footage playing at six minutes and forty seconds now, "Exactly you son of a gun, why would you admit to your own crime?" Jason shaking his head in disbelief now.
"Keep listening, it gets better." Andrew said with a straight face.
Jason listened to more of the footage, trying to find out what was going on. Already fourteen minutes and forty seconds into the video, "Well it looks like Ben is blaming ONI for a conspiracy theory. Thus I reiterate my first statement about his speculation and theory."
Andrew leaned back in his seat, "Okay. Jason, I need you to find this Petra Janecek as well as other leaders of the Sapient Sunrise and bring them to an end. Once and for all. We'll give you an acquisition team to back you up if we must."
Jason sat up with his hand outstretched, "Just give me a profile and a location, and I'll give you a prisoner."
Shaking hands and sealing the deal, Andrew knew that he made the right decision, "Done deal."
