Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's dark, dusty, and smells like chemically preserved corpses. This is all the reason people need to never go here. The room hasn't been used by the morgue staff in so long, none of the lights work properly. Once you can see, the room is just a few aisles of dusty old boxes of obsolete supplies and out of date medication. Most of these boxes are covered in dust tarps so dusty that they are little more than sheets of dust at this point. Towards the back, there is a large box marked "XL Syringes". The dust around this box is much lighter, as if it has been disturbed more recently than the rest. The box seems to contain something extremely heavy, as it cannot be moved. Strangely, it is locked; and has a keyhole on the side.

The box was bottomless and bolted to the ground around a hole in the floor. The hole is deep, and a ladder is set on the side of it. It's large enough for a single person to climb down.

At the bottom of the ladder, motion activated lights flickered on to show the entire room. The ladder is in the middle of the room. Facing away from the ladder, Jisaku will see most of the wall covered in shelves containing folders, books, and poster tubes. Inside these are maps of the seireitei, rukongai, and sewer systems; copies of private information on influential people; and enough evidence to jail most of the Central 46 and a good chunk of the Gotei. To the left of these is a small generator puttering away to power the lights. Also attached is a small refrigerator, empty of course. To the right of the shelves is a sight that would raise an eyebrow or two. A makeshift hospital bed on the ground surrounded by a section of rock with long dried blood seeped into it. There were dust covered supplies of disinfectant and other tools which a medical professional would recognize as the tools needed for childbirth. They were clearly used once long ago, but when and by who is a mystery. The final side of the room is a well lit desk and chair. On it is a short stack of notebooks and a letter on top addressed to Jisaku. Most of the room is somewhat dusty and the air smells old, as if it hasn't seen much use in a long time.

The letter reads as follows:

---------

Dear Jisaku,

If you're reading this, then I've been killed. I hope to be able to retrieve this information without consequence, but I'm well aware that I can easily fail at this stage of things.

To begin with, you were smart to open the box yourself. I had rigged the lock with a trap that, should anyone but me or you unlock the box, the building would be collapsed and this room incinerated. As an apology for rigging explosives in your buildings, feel free to use the blackmail material on the opposite wall. I keep some in every one of my dead drops in case I need to back up a threat or somebody tries to have me impeached again.

Returning to the point, I've left summaries of the full extent of what I've discovered about the Observers here in these diaries. I plan to reveal some of what I know soon, so that they will send someone to silence me and prevent any further investigations. The plan is to subdue this assassin and wring further information out of it. Should I fail, or should the unexpected occur, I leave it to you to ensure this information is used to its fullest extent.

I must say

Jisaku

I enjoyed working with you, and I hope to do so again in the future.

-Omekata Zanzo
-Kasugano Aoi

p.s. If I'm dead, then I may as well use my actual name instead of my nickname for once. I don't think that's asking for much, is it?

Underneath the letter, are four notebooks labeled "Observer Suspects", "History", "Organization", and "Suggested Plans of Action"

On one page is a picture that would catch Jisaku's eye. The picture is of an albino young man the description names as "Akise Aru", a quincy in Karakura. The picture will look familiar, as Jisaku has seen that face before.

He saw that face when fighting Gluttony.
