*Allen has dark circles under his eyes, like he's barely slept at all recently. But that's not the point of this post. In fact, aside from the dark circles, he looks wide awake and serious.*

I've been doing some research on the Churches of Three since that news broadcast. This probably won't surprise too many people, but it does make my suspicions seem more likely...there's nothing in any publicly accessible records about anything by that name. No founder, no precepts, nothing. As far as I can tell, it didn't even exist until this past week.

*He pauses to take a sip from a cup of coffee. You don't want to know how many he's had.*

Considering the fact that the name of the hotel owner fits the obvious theme of the church, it should be pretty obvious that they're related. Trey Matre...I've been told it roughly translates to Three Mothers. I came up with a lot of references to three in religion, just like Issei said, but it's too clear cut to be a coincidence. Either this is just now coming to be an organized religion, or something like it has existed behind the scenes for a while and now it's finally coming partly into the light.

The fact that it's already infiltrated the government means that we're probably not dealing with something small and new. I wouldn't be surprised if the hotel wasn't the only business they had a connection to here, either. Ryuunosuke's already offered to infiltrate the church if it comes here, but I think we also need people to investigate the local government and major businesses on the island. In the meantime, I'd suggest being careful how freely you talk about what's going on. We don't know who's involved, after all.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't communicate. I'm going to be putting together a list of people who are doing investigations, so if you're looking into anything and you want the names of people you can trade information with, let me know. The list won't be public, just in case, but unless anyone objects, I'll give it to anyone who wants to help and won't turn around and broadcast it to everybody.

Ah, and in case anyone was wondering, my name's Allen Ridgeley.

If there is no information available to the public, then it is possible that it still existed previous to this announcement-just not in a form that the average person could access. I would be willing to carry out some sort of investigation during the Dark Hour, as it's entirely possible that it could be connected to the Churches of Three in some way.

That's a good idea. I was already talking to Mr. Edgeworth about the possibility that they're connected and I have people looking into both the church and secure databases, but I didn't have anyone to investigate during Dark Hour itself and I'm working other things right now.

[of course it's a good idea. he came up with it.]

I'll take care of that, then.

...alright he'll admit it...]

Of course, as I arrived here less than a month ago, I would appreciate having a more experienced companion.

I think I have someone who I can ask. You don't have a problem with someone called Sasaki Kojiro, do you?

[that's not a real person... unlike gorgons, demons, and 2/3rds gods, Sasaki Kojiro just does not exist!

oh well whatever he's unlikely to want to punch kayneth in the face right]

Not that I know of, no.

*He's real enough to have volunteered as muscle.*

I'll see if he can help. Could you give me your name?

That would be appreciated-and it's Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi.
