Heavily Encrypted
First of all, you have my condolences for your mother's fate. I knew your mother, and though she left for the UOC with Yuriko-san, I am among those who didn't hold it against them. Your mothers had their reasons for defecting to the UOC when I stayed with the Empire. Some bad things may be said about your late mother as this situation progresses. Some disrespectful and ignorant people may proclaim that she deserved what happened. Do not take these things to heart.
I should mention that a few days before her death, your mother requested an ST Backup procedure. Because of this, an ST Backup leading to the period within a few days of her death exists. Unfortunately, I am not convinced that it is safe for her to be reanimated at this time, until the situation is made more clear.
In the interim, I am sending you a combined 100,000 KS to live on while the investigation proceeds. Spend it wisely, and if more is needed, please let me know. Also let me know if you should wish to visit Yuriko-san's old home, which she sold to me upon her defection. As I am on deployment, I may not be there to greet you, but I have staff who could do so. I'm also willing to hire guards for you, if YNP is not providing adequate protection.
