== Aegis Relieved of Charges from Attack in Japan ==
A recent investigation for the people of Japan probed possible involvement of the philanthropy group known as Aegis. The detective assigned to the case found the group innocent as they were not on active deployment. According to the detective, Ms. Noru Kenwei was visiting Japan on personal business. The events that transpired previously were not Aegis associated with those who were involved in Japan visiting by incident.
Communications from Aegis dictated that while Noru was considered a normally passive individual who disliked violence other reports dictate a darker side to the adventurer. An informant who is associated with Aegis stated that Noru however was not always a kind person. This was later confirmed by others stating that she often had a rebellious streak, arguing with her superiors in the organization. This led to reprimands and suspensions leaving the agent to nearly be fired from the organization previously. Ultimately before this event Noru had not had contact with anyone within Aegis for nearly two months having the agent return with no one being knowledgeable on what they had experienced or been doing their time away.
Examining the body Aegis realized that during her time away Noru had been under the influence of strong narcotics that would affect an aquatic person’s state of mind. Theories indicate this may have been caused by the agent spending time with their partner who had a previous criminal record and was implicit in aggressive behavior. This is believed to have led to post traumatic stress disorder for the agent during their mission where they were suffering abyssal corruption previously. This all compounded into a fight or flight reaction from the assailant lashing out at the police force. Through this understanding Aegis has stated they could never condone her actions and abhor what she had done, despite any reasonings this person might have had.
With the investigation concluded it is certain to say that Aegis has been freed from the burdens of what this rogue agent has done. Despite this the Japanese government has still not officially lifted the ban on Aegis agents, likely do to governmental red tape. The leader has stated that appropriate actions will be taken to ensure that similar encounters will not happen in the future. The special agent who investigated has also tasked themselves with assisting the organization to better itself.
We will continue to provide updates on the situation should new information come to light.
