Susan stared at the metal box Aragaki had dropped on her desk with some measure of curiosity before she opened the lid carefully. Most of the contents was pretty boring, a few knickknacks.

The papers were the 'good stuff', Susan unfolded them and read.

There was a schematic of the ship, some suggested locations, presumably for bombs, and detailed instructions of how to make said bombs. Most of the letter was -- well it was probably coded, but the part that jumped out was 'make it look just like the L bombings' to 'JM' and from 'KS'.

Was this really --

"Where did you get this." Her voice was sharp, but not angry -- yet.

Shinjiro keep a steady gaze with the woman, looking unhappy, but not intimidated.

"Some of the crew divvied up Morris' stuff. I'm not naming names." He said bluntly, crossing his arms over his chest and cocking his head to one side.

"Why--?" Talk about morbid. As far as she knew the investigation into Morris's death was still ongoing. The Boatswains hadn't cleared out his quarters yet and someone had decided that was a good idea. Discipline sure was shot to hell. "Who the hell thought that would be a good idea?"

She sighed and took another deep breath, it wouldn't do her any good to get mad at Aragaki, he'd come to her with the box instead of keeping or destroying it.

"KS --?" Seagill, maybe? She looked over the letter again, wishing something would jump out at her.

"I didn't set it up, I just took advantage. Dead men don't care." His voice was deadpan. "If I hadn't someone else would have."

He leaned forward, reading the note upside down. "Was Morris the stupid type XO? Would he have really keep something like this after the fact?" He stepped back, tapping his arm with a finger.

"If it was me... this would have been memorized and burned."
