Transcript[]

Alert Order

Recently there has been information that a United States government agent is here investigating the village.

Do not let this American agent get in contact with the prisoner.

For those of you not yet informed, the prisoner is being held in an old house beyond the farm. We will transfer the prisoner to a more secure location in the valley when we are ready. The prisoner is to stay there until further notice. Meanwhile, do not let the American agent near the prisoner.

We do not know how the American government found out about our village. But we are investigating.

However, I feel that this intrusion at this particular time is not just a coincidence.

I sense a third party other than the United States government involved here.

My fellow men, stay alert!

-Chief. Bitores Mendez

近々、合衆国のエージェントが、この村の調査に訪れるという情報が入った。

このエージェントが、例の者と接触しないよう注意せよ。

とりあえず例の者は、農場を抜けた先の廃屋に監禁してあるが、準備が整いしだい、より警戒厳重な渓谷へ移送する。

その間、合衆国の人間を近寄らせてはならない。

また、合衆国政府がどのような経緯でこの村を捜査対象としたのかも、探る必要がある。計画実行の迫った、このタイミングで捜査が入るのは、単なる偶然とは考えにくい。我々と合衆国以外の第3の組織が動いている可能性もある。

常に警戒を怠るな。

村長ビトレス・メンデス

Analysis[]

It is a memo written by Bitores Méndez telling the village Ganados not let Leon reach "the" prisoner. This shows the Ganados can still read and perform tasks accordingly. This also points Leon to a new objective point, assuming the prisoner is Ashley and the possible presence of a third party. Upon getting there the player and Leon find out the prisoner is actually Luis Sera.
