Executed their Crayterian handler?

Oh how the tables turn. Burn it all, l because leaving their tomb sealed but intact leaves a memory. And these people don't deserve the benefit of posterity.

And as for ceaseless thinking, isn't that normal? I've always thought it was.

Beloved.

Your initial distributors and less than faithful business partners in Liberty are apparently gearing a new network. When my sources informed me, I'll admit, I was a little surprised. I expected them to instead go all in on the idea of clawing back the cardamine market wherever possible.

But to make an entirely new network on Houston? For an entirely different product?

Bold. Just short sighted and foolish.

It's not a competitor to your shipments by any means. But be prepared to see your old network suffer from detracted focus as this surge is tapped into.

Needless to say, I'll be killing anyone that carries it.

Caro Mio

At first, I thought you were referring to goods like dangerous weapons or explosives, yet by comparing it to our line of business, it indeed involves some addictive substance. What kind of compound is worth smuggling to a place like Houston?

Cordiali saluti,
Fiorella A. De Marco.

Slog.

At least that's what my agents tell me people are calling it. Cheap, low quality, and intended to be propagated en masse to people engaged in hard labor and fed up of a never-ending cycle.

My people.

I'll work out the source and deal with things there when possible.

Caro Mio

Ah, so you are referring to Carix. I would not have guessed that something like this could be as potentially popular among your people as this. Its intriguingly complex molecular structure is reminiscent of several organic neurotoxins. One would assume it must have a unique natural source or precursor, as producing such a molecule so inexpensively under ordinary circumstances would be unimaginable.

I must admit, you have piqued my curiosity. I am most interested to learn from what it is derived, and what this neurotoxin appears like in its unrefined state.

Cordiali saluti,
Fiorella A. De Marco.

I'll send you samples then.

Caro Mio

I nearly forgot. Since you are now my fiancé, your presence is expected on Malta for the family festivities marking the holidays and year’s end. Not only will Ciara be pleased to see you, but Juan and Salvatore also mentioned they need an extra set of hands to repair one of their technological marvels.

My ship stands ready to pick you up at Barrier Gate sometime today.

In theory, you may refuse, but my mother’s response was something along the lines of ‘he may decline at his own peril.’ Should your movement be unable to spare you for a while, we can relay your signal from Malta to one of my surveillance satellites in the Ontario system.

Cordiali saluti,
Fiorella A. De Marco.

At my own peril?

That's the most threatened I've felt in years. Genuinely.

I'll leave Royce in charge of the current operation to tackle smugglers. It's a routine affair, or at least routine enough, that he can handle it given his veteran status.

Be there soon, just give me a moment to pack and notify my guard.

Caro Mio

I am surprised that my satellites in Ontario do not trouble you. True, you have already located and shot down several of them, yet - fortunately - they are fairly inexpensive and straightforward to build, so I can afford to deploy new ones from time to time.

I am pleased you have chosen wisely and decided to accompany me to Malta. Naturally, gifts will await you, but I hope you have no fear of heights.

Cordiali saluti,
Fiorella A. De Marco.

I expected people would try to eavesdrop.

You could have told me though. That way I could keep people from blowing up in exchange for the readouts they capture. It doesn't matter though.

And no, I'm not scared of heights. I'd be a terrible pilot if I was.
