[forward dated to this evening]
... Everyone, I have asked the commanders to be allowed to report about today's events personally. This is because I feel personally responsible for what has transpired.
Today, a Bio Hybrid appeared in the Royal Base courtyard. He evolved himself into a BomberNanimon, and then detonated himself. Then, at least one Tamer was taken captive by Kurata's soldiers. DATS secondary member Rena Lanford is currently missing.
The Bio Hybrid was one of our own: A secondary member known as Thomas Langdon. He joined DATS when we first got organized, but we lost contact with him relatively quickly. We now know that he was taken prisoner and brainwashed by Kurata.
What's more, we now know how this brainwashing occurs. The crux of it is a device that invades and substitutes the subject's memories and personality with one of Kurata's invention. What's more, this technology...
... It is derived from something I created. Back in our homeworld, I temporarily defected to Kurata's side as a means of deceiving him. However, while I was in his service, I created a device that allowed him to force his will over a digimon's. When I betrayed him, I destroyed the device, but...
... It seems he was able to derive his brainwashing technology from mine. The fundamental principles are the same. This is what has allowed him to turn Langdon against us, and presumably Izumi's mother, and possibly others...
This concludes my report.

Masaru. Koushirou. I'm so sorry...
