There are the decrypted messages that can be found on pages 68-69 of Historical: Brush Wars. Having fun reading them. Very interesting views on certain things being carried out in the Jihad now by word of blake.

Comstar Communiqué 83761nr94-SLXOM-1-1-3035 (Omega 99 Encrypted):

Together with Li Mann, agent Tagglibeau entered the chamber less than sixty seconds after the blast via secondary door and there discovered the badly injured yet still living Percentor Marik. Realizing that he remained a key target of the assassins should his survival be known, and with sounds of rescuers-and potential killers-moving through the palace, they moved swiftly to evacuate him to the ComStar compound where he received emergency treatment. Precentor Thomas Marik suffered extreme trauma in the blast, details of which can be found in briefing FWL6-78-9-3035, yet was stabilized by Kappa personnal in the compound. His wounds are, however too serious to be tended here. Given his importance to the order, I hereby request that he be brought to Mother Terra for treatment as befits his status

- Percentor Aliz, Precentor of Atreus Station.

Bring him. A suite and medical team stand ready at Koryo

Comstar Communiqué 86405nr94-SLXOM-10-6-3035 (Omega 99 Encrypted):

Primus,

Thomas Marik investigation has yet to get underway. Yet Public opinions seems to lay the blame at the foot of Catherine Humphreys and the Andurien secessionists. Duncan Marik looks set to be installed as the next Captain General – since we can’t reveal Precentor Marik’s survival at this juncture - and seems set to “expedite” the investigation to support his martial agenda. Attached are the transcripts we recovered between himself and his supporters that confirms the ROM station chief’s suspicion of his culpability in this matter. We could reveal this now through one of our agents, in effect blocking his ascension, yet that would not serve us well. Paul, Kristen or Theresa would be forced to take the role, none of whom have shown any indication of political ambition or strategic leadership in the past. Allowing Duncan to claim the throne at this juncture may be the most expedient measure: while a poor politician, he should at least be able to prosecute the war effectively; leaving Parliament free to act. Knowledge of his complicity in the assassination gives us a strong bargaining chip should we need to influence his actions or even removing him form power.

- Percentor Aliz, Precentor of Atreus Station.

Comstar Communiqué 84567nr94-SLXOM-13-6-3035 (Omega 99 Encrypted):

Agreed. Allow Duncan to claim the throne and fill the power vacuum. He can do little harm in the short time he will have. Precentor Marik will be kept informed of political developments in the league, at least in so far as his conditions allows. As you will no doubts see when you attend the first circuit at the end of the month, he remains interested in affairs in his homeland despite the extent of his injuries. We will have to discuss the Pollux Contingency.

Comstar Briefing 9-Y-15-3035-7-29: The Pollux Contingency

It seems unlikely at this juncture that the Subject will recover sufficiently to resume his duties without extensive organ transplants and mechanical prosthetics. The Perceptions within his native state may preclude him from holding office, as too many people regard the bionic prosthetics as dehumanizing and as possible triggers to some form of psychosis. Such superstitions are resistant tot rational discussion and thus we will need to be careful with his return and integration.

I would suggest that in the short term the subject remains here at Koryo for treatment and that Pollux is briefed for a long term deployment. He has already served as a body-guard for the subject on several occasions, though these have only been for a few hours at a time. Fortunately, his familiarity with the subject and their shared history gives us confidence in his ability to maintain a masquerade of sufficient duration to allow us to complete work on the subject and then to re-substitute him for Pollux. We recommended, however, that several additional steps be taken beyond the surgical and information preparation Pollux has undertaken:

1. Detailed cognitive and psychological work: Pollux needs to know as much as possible of the subject’s life and history, his knowledge and his opinions, so that he can carry out his tasks even with close confidents and family of the subject. Fortunately, his mannerisms and speech work is already as good as can be hoped for. And the subect’s long absence was to his tenure in our service will reduce the windows of learning we need to focus on.
2. As Pollux will no doubt be subject to medical scrutiny we will need to enact surgical modifications to approximate the subject’s injuries, yet without the need for bionics or organ transplant. This will take some time-possibly several months-during which he will not be able to carry the required cognitive and psychological works. As such, the timeline for this process will be approximately a year here at Koryo
3. We also recommend that as Pollux is already being prepared for the medical tests that will no doubt be carried out on him, steps are taken regarding the DNA and biometrix tests that will be run. The procedures are outlined in the addendum, yet while there is no need for bone-structure matching thanks to our prior work, the retinal and DNA-chimzerism modifications are beyond the capabilities here at Koryo. As such we believe that Pollux must undergo treatment at Facility Y on Jardine, and must at the same time be kept ignorant of their existence.
4. A direct liaison to be established between Pollux and the subject with a view to fostering communication and understanding. Pollux will have to act on his own initiative much of the time, yet his agenda will be that of the subject. Pollux will be the subject’s mouthpiece, yet cannot be unthinking nor can he allow his own beliefs and priorities to eclipse those of the subject or the order.

(What is interesting is that comstar has already possessed bionic recontruction facility at Jardine, but question why does Focht not known about it? Maybe it is known only to ROM or selected figures? Mostly likely the Master in Jihad can be viewed as the really Thomas Marik since he was on Terra most of time.)
