Locke,
I reviewed John's battlefield recording at the time of his apparent attack on the Biko conference, and according to the timestamp that precisely coincides with the attack he was operational on [LOCATION REDACTED] at the time, eliminating an Insurrectionist cell that was attempting to create a biological weapon with similar properties to those of the Alpha Shard element (see attached files relating to compound: MANTICORE for further details). This has led me to conclude that the party responsible for the attack was most likely an imposter, possibly a Spartan-IV, wearing a facsimile of John's armor in an attempt to incriminate him and give somebody an excuse shut down the Spartan-IIs. Be careful out there, Locke, I don't like the feeling I'm getting from all this.
Regards,
Daisy

Daisy,
I've done a lot of checking on this, and something also worries me. If you look at my after-action reports on Tararis, Covies were setting up shop for something heavy. Tararis is just light-years away from Biko. If this is all connected, this will go south much faster than your reaction time.
Daisy, if it was an impostor, this is bad. This is Schein-and-Crespo-level bad. Because someone infiltrated ONI and now has a private strike force to discredit the UNSC with.
Good luck,
Locke

Subject: POSSIBILITY OF INSURRECTIONIST INVOLVEMENT IN BIKO INCIDENT
Classification: EYES ONLY TOP SECRET (SECTION III X-RAY DIRECTIVE)

Locke,
I've been looking over the data I currently have regarding what happened on Biko and assessing possible vectors. I have to consider the possibility, however slight, that a Spartan-IV may have defected to the Insurrection, and consequentially the possibilty of Insurrectionist involvement in the attack. This possibilty troubles me deeply because I know full well how valuable an asset even a single Spartan-IV is to the UNSC, and if the precedent set by Ilsa Zane back in 2553 is anything to go by then we're in for some serious trouble, that is, if my theory about the Insurrectionists is in any way true.
Stay safe,
Daisy
