Srta. R, Allow me to introduce myself. My designation is TRIBUNE -- I serve as a strategic liaison for the Empire’s special projects under the direction of specific research and development concerns. Though our paths have not crossed until now, I have been briefed on your ongoing advisory role regarding the project. Your insights have been instrumental to its progress, and your discretion has not gone unnoticed. I am reaching out to provide you with a private status update on the project’s next phase. There are recent developments which require immediate context -- and your expertise. A technological barrier has emerged, and I believe your perspective may offer the cleanest path forward. If you are amenable, I would propose a brief in-person meeting at The Red Emperor, my private residence suite in central Capital Manhattan. The location is secure, neutral, and tailored for comfort. Discretion will be absolute. Last but not least, I am in possession of a sealed package addressed to you. I will remain available to schedule at your convenience within the next 36 solar hours. Do let me know if you require anything before your arrival.

Manhattan? Now that is unexpected. Very well, I can prep myself for arrival.

I fully anticipate a progress report on our ~shared~ project.

Let me know if there any security concerns for my arrival, passcodes, what not.

Yes, of course, señorita. Our project. When you arrive, ask for room 48 with a single bed, then ask for chauffeur services. This will be your identification. I look forward to our meeting. You'll be escorted to my residence when you arrive.
