His Imperial Majesty Emperor of Rheinland, Frederick von Albrecht,
How I ha...have missed our conversations since last we met. The radioactive orange of the Gothan field really set the tone for our little jaunt. How has his Imperial Majesty been since then? Where has your quest to impose taxation on the few who live in Thuringia taken you?
I di...digress, though it is my perogative to do so. It is a well-known and es...e...established fact that you have both two eyes and two ears! I know... pushing the boundaries there, but your fandom claim on your NeuralNet wiki-page they are a rather fe...fetching pair. I'd like to know if those handsome features have fetched any chance information on a issue or two that concerns me.
Perhaps another walk and talk in the p...palace gardens is in order, if his Majesty is willing to indulge me?

Your Majesty,
The people of Thuringia have shown themselves disagreeable to Imperial taxation. And while my benevolence knows no bounds, my patience wears thin. Perhaps I shall have to employ harsher means to bring these vagabonds to acquiesce to Imperial demands. A looping broadcast of myself reciting Kusari poetry - a favorite pastime of mine, however poor my pronunciation is - shall perhaps convince them of reason.
I am curious as to what you believe my Imperial eyes and ears may or may not have perceived since we last conversed, and I look forward to doing so again soon. You may find me strolling through the gardens later this day.
[20.07.2025 18:37:21] Thallia.Thorn: Just... ... ... I've been collecting data whilst doing m...my work, and I think the Gammu AI are dangerous.
[20.07.2025 18:38:36] Source: Mm. They certainly are.
[20.07.2025 18:38:51] Source: Do you think they might be looking to harm you?
[20.07.2025 18:39:06] Thallia.Thorn: *blinks* Y...you already know this? What do you know about them?
[20.07.2025 18:40:22] Source: Not that much. But I've seen them chasing people around who they feel... Own something that is belonging to the AIs.
[20.07.2025 18:41:59] Thallia.Thorn: "They're att...attempting to collect items they think can be used to open some sort of structure, or gate or similar."
[20.07.2025 18:42:13] Thallia.Thorn: "Th...they working with some kind of alien form."
[20.07.2025 18:43:37] Source: Quite troubling, given that... We have been told to stand down and cease fire on certain aliens.
[20.07.2025 18:43:57] Source: Not only that, but even... Told to play nice with them.
[20.07.2025 18:44:44] Thallia.Thorn: "What?!...w...which aliens? How? Who?"
[20.07.2025 18:46:01] Source: Not really supposed to be talking about this, but you'll end up knowing anyway. We have a bunch of infectees-
[20.07.2025 18:46:26] Source: -flying around recently, apparently with some amount of free will their masters gave them.
[20.07.2025 18:46:43] Source: Former legionnairies included.
[20.07.2025 18:46:59] Thallia.Thorn: Ca...can you share names?
[20.07.2025 18:48:48] Source: Let me check my log...
[20.07.2025 18:49:34] Source: Oh, what a name.
[20.07.2025 18:50:08] Source: "Nibwaakaawin"... Took me an effort to say it.
[20.07.2025 18:51:50] Thallia.Thorn: "Nibwaakaawin"...*she jots it down on a scrap of paper.* "Wh...who gave you the order t...to not fire on them?"
[20.07.2025 18:52:37] Source: From the very top.
[20.07.2025 18:52:42] Source: Exarchy.
[20.07.2025 18:52:56] Thallia.Thorn: "Exarchy... M...Megiddo?"
[20.07.2025 18:53:11] Source: Them, too.
[20.07.2025 18:53:24] Thallia.Thorn: Wh...who is the Exarchy, sorry?
[20.07.2025 18:53:41] Source: Well, Megiddo you already know.
[20.07.2025 18:53:59] Source: There is also Exarch West and Exarch With.
[20.07.2025 18:54:21] Source: All of them are responsible for their own fields of operations.
[20.07.2025 18:54:40] Thallia.Thorn: And th...they've all signed off on this order to permit th...this infectee presence?
[20.07.2025 18:55:15] Source: Two of them, at least, has spoken about it with us. Megiddo and With. I assume West is on board with it as well.
That's the kind of intel I like getting my hands on, and it will go a long way proving to us that you're trustworthy. I'll make sure it gets forwarded to the appropriate parties.
No chance of you revealing your source's identity, I assume?
Would his Imperial Majesty be able to garuntee their safety if I did so? Extricate them, perhaps, if the situation arises? Only then would I consider it.
An u...un...understandable position. I'd personally vouch f...for them if th...that made a difference to your stance but I doubt it would.
In which case, I don't see a n...need to divulge the source. It's cl...clear enough they are within the Legion themselves. Without a tangible b...benefit, betraying their trust a second time seems unnecessary.
I'm Captain Emrys Belmont, Section 8. I regret to inform you that our operative, Warlock, recently made the ultimate sacrifice in service to humanity. What is it you wished to discuss with him?
I was going to share with him some recent developements. The priority to...topic was going to be Coronado, and some other little bits and bobs. Emrys, what information can you sh...share with me on what happened to Warlock? Any hows? Any whos?
