*****DATAMAIL*****
TO: EXEC, PROJECT FOX, MITSUMI
FROM: [UKNOWN] (AUS/WA/PRT)
28-June-2033

Update:

Objective successful, the replicant Hogan is in our custody. Given the anti-interrogation capabilities of the Nexus-6 model, we intend to forego physical methodologies, except in an adjunctive role, and move straight to chemical and psychological interrogation techniques. Even so, we expect at least 6-10 days to extract what information he has concerning the current location of the Fox prototype. Possibly longer depending on how strong his emotional bond and sense of protectiveness toward Shoko is.

Please advise. Is any special disposition to be made of the replicant Hogan after data extraction, or do standard cleanup protocols apply?
