Shizuka DID answer Pierce's questions, even if she was probably intentionally vague on two of them.

They knew about Burkmont funding Faynoc because Idolus made a temporary truce and thus provided information that came from Marionetta and Twiloch, both of whom were supposably working for Burkmont before he betrayed their agreement not to round up the rogue ruin generals for his own uses.

As for the message, Burkmont is sending out a special force unit (probably one led by a Gabriel Force) to retrieve some of the data and speciemens, so the Kimonos are going to wreck their shit, perhaps killing Faynoc while the Burkmont forces are inside. I mean, what better way to ensure that you didn't let any of the squad forces or any of the cultist escape than to blow the place up and all its content with them inside?

As for how they got in, that's really one of the most pointless questions. They are inside now regardless of how they got in. Maybe Idolus helped them out with his Destroyer status power. Maybe they were let in like Pierce was, due to Faynoc wanting to get rid of the Kimonos for attempted assassination. Maybe they have enough power of their own to get in or sneak in.


So really, you can go ahead and write your post unless there is something more that Pierce needed to know?

Either that, or someone else could write a post. I recall that Matthias might have a question for Irene or there might be a flashback for Impact.
