Let me introduce myself, my name is Enma from Loyola family. I understand that "Loyola" today says a bit more than nothing, but back in the day we were one of those who played quite an important role in the fate of Nacion. You can easily find confirmation of this using almost every public Maltese database. You will find that I am the daughter of Roberto and Launa Manzione. You will find that Robarto Loyola is the son of Fabio Loyola and Emilia Toscani, his wife is the daughter of Francesco Manzione and Aurora D'Aquino. You can so go on until Hispania itself and Arturo Loyola, hydrologist who arrived to Malta from the Sol. My father died in battle like a true warrior, mother got missing during the performance of duty to the Nacion.
As my father did, I served to the Nacion as a warrior in the ranks of the Navy, I've served in the Crimson Cross Navy to be completely accurate. During the invasion to Omicron Delta I without permission left the combat service, simply speaking, I deserted. Let's just say I had a very personal reason, so in general I could say that I did it on a whim. I temporarily joined the Core to save my life and repair my ship, under Core command I participated in the in operations against the Order Overwatch. In a short time I left the ranks of the Core and defected to battlegroup Auxesia, a group that came out of subordination to primary Core command. There I took part in fights against Liberty Navy, Bounty Hunters, Core, Order Overwatch and sadly one time I had to open fire at the Spirit. I've met Spirits several times and we parted peacefully, but one time I had to execute the order of my command. I -never- opened fire on other Maltese and didn't gave up a single bit of the information that can be used to hurt Malta and it's people.
The Crimson Cross have abducted my brother, Mateo Loyola, who is the currently head of the family. You see my brother is a scientist and never commit any crimes. He was brutally tortured and almost killed by people who being in a direct submission to the Crimson Cross, I mean those people are -literally- from the ranks of the Cross. I should probably also mention a method of torture which is cardamine deprivation. Yes those people left the head of the noble Maltese family without cardamine and almost killed him. As you can understand, I can not expect anything other than the most usual execution without trial for me.
I have no fear of death, but I do not want to die right now and like this. I will surrender to the Cross shortly, otherwise they will exterminate my brother. I'm ready to answer for my crime, however I intend to ask the honest Military Tribunal instead of pathetic formal reply from inquisitors administration with the verdict. I have a high hope that you as military elite of the Nacion understand what I am talking about and will help me in the organization of a fair trial. I also have a hope for the understanding of the personal level and the possibility of intercession on your part.
Silence ensures for what must be about half a minute as Gabriella is looking past the screen infront of her, slightly connecting her palms, slowly revolving her hands back and forth. Having her left hand finally covering the other she looks back at the screen, the inlays of her eyes adjusting accordingly contrarotating a few times in search to show the information she wanted out of the Corsican archives.
I'm honestly quite unsure where to start even with this situation. Had to look quite deep into the files to actually find a reference to your famiglia but as there's nothing lost within the Corsicans I followed the data available and got the picture of your history together. Excuse that I'm still puzzled about your statements and more so your request. Usually people seek refuge within Ghosts ranks and don't call for a military tribunal. Which we haven't had one since half a decade now.
Your words are filled with tragic, your life's of unforeseen events. Yet this's nothing uncommon within Nacion and your lifes cycle so far reads as one of the widespread backgrounds. Diverging interests, following different paths of action, rivalry and open hostilities aren't unknown to maltese society and tradition. Leaving your squadron is no state offense and will as consequence just have your previous command treat you accordingly. Flying the colours of the enemies to Nacion gives them and every other individual or squadron aligned to Nacion every right to shoot you down but that's a choice you made for your own.
To hear the actions taken against your brother, a legitimate true-born Don of a first-class Maltese house, is raising concerns, especially about the ability of those imposing law upon Nacion and leaves the question if they're in a position to adjudicate correctly. Torture, even more by deprivation of Cardamine which results in pain beyond expression and actually can inflict severe damage to a persons mentality and state of mind, is nothing Nacion ever approved of within the lines of those that received the enigma and even less within the bloodlines of Maltese. Nacions culture is a self-regulating entity, yet there's limits to everything and while neither deceptive violence nor brute force are nothing inconceivable exceptional, time has established a standard as to where the line is drawn. A maltese life is of infinite worth. As a society we risk ours and others life regularly, still that happens with both sides aware of what's to come at them as the involved parties gone upfront at each other with the intention to injure, impair and dispatch.
Your request is taken.
You'll have to prove your accusations, so provide anything from recorded comms to whatever you have at hand to make a point here.
We can take you into preventive arrest if you feel for your life actually endangered. I'll have Estefania accompany you along with a tactical unit of soldiers if you wish for it.
For power. For Ishmael. For the Ghosts.
Salutes.
Gabriella Casta.
*Claes rests her head against both fists as they stood entwined on the desk, she looked down at the table listening to the message being relayed to her, with some distortions here and there. after it was over it still took here a long time to think of a course of action, eventually looking up to face the camera, resting her arms against the table.*
"You're family linaege matters not to me, I had to destroy my own family for betraying me in the past, so that is of no consequence. I am deeply concerned about your defection to the hated ranks of so many whom I would wish the utmost painful death upon, you plea that you have not fired upon one of our own but have no proof to back that up, only the word of a traitor, can you honestly say I should believe you?"
*Claes shakes her head a little*
"As a bias party, how do you know your brother commits no crimes? do you watch his every move, while the method of punishment leaves a lot to be desired, I find it increasingly hard to believe that he would just be snatched up without cause or reason, and tortured for nothing, probably tortured for being related to a traitor? hm? what was he working on? what field of science does he work within?
*She sighed looked to the side and pressed a few buttons*
"While I will promise nothing to a person of your current standing, if you work for me and prove you arent as worthless as you appear to be you will be safe at least for now, you may even get your brother again... while he is still alive. however if you screw up even once you will share his fate"
*Claes looked sternly at the camera
"do we have a deal?"*she asks before closing the com*
I'm really glad to see that honor and justice are still living on Malta. I hope that all sides will have enough time to examine all the necessary materials and documents. For now I am just trying to defend the right to live for me and my brither. I can't see the ways how -they- could take it in a more or less legal way. What they can do is just abuse the power that they holding and use the most brutal methods. Perhaps I will have a chance to make some sort of... deal? with them. I have a good reason to believe that they won't really want this story to become the subject of wide public discussion.
I do not think that we should involve any tactical groups in it, it will bring only more problems for us all. Let's say I already have decided to surrender, believe me, I was able to hide for ages if I would only wish. There is other reasons, such as my word, I promissed to come alone and unarmed, other this is... they are still holding my brother and if they will have any problems with me during my surrender it will likely end bad for him. Apparently this is not what I want.
And sure, you can't believe me on word in the full extent, I can see and understand why. It is not in my position to put conditions, but I would like to kindly ask you to not share this record to any third parties for now.
I will be honest, I have nothing to lose and can allow it to myself. Hm first of all, I guess I can't say anything against the word "traitor" to describe me, but you know, this is just a facade. I am not going to make ant attempts to reassure, looks like a barely have a chance to secceed on it. Speaking of trust again there is nothing I can do to convince you. I would like only to note that your conclusions are made way too hastily. Your slander on my brother however is very disappointing, I do not even know on which projects did he worked, but i know for sure, that he was under observation twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and he knew it. I asking you, signorina Leslie, who will ever commit in that kind of conditions?
Let's keep at least a bit of common sense, it is more than enough of madness for Malta those days. And heh, I will just leave your point of torture for being -related- to someone who -probably- did something wrong without comments, it is quite ridiculous by itself. However, all in all, I can see you are rather pragmatic person, when I look at the offer itself. But there is a problem. I will be take under guard in a few hours so I can't serve you or prove anything. I could use some help first and if I will stay alive I will be able to pay off in the way which you will prefer.
"I do not know your brother, and I base my opinions only on what i have experienced myself, that being your own words. If you believe my conclusions are too hasty then you should have worded your plea differently. Not everyone walks the same path and sees the same things in the same light that you or others do. and there are few people alive today that would make me care about whether my words dissapoint them, at the moment you aren not one of these people. I have already stated my piece really, but i'll say it again just to clarify."
"If you want saftey and to make me believe what you say, you will pledge your loyalty to me. During this time you will be debriefed and then treated like a member of my squad. If you don't turn out to be as bad an egg as it seems right now I will do what I can for your brother. However you seem to be already being taken care of? *Claes questioned as it seemed she was being imprisoned somewhere*"If you accept these terms the ball will start rolling, if you do not, i will take my leave of this, I expect the next communication you make here to be an unambiguous answer to this question"
"It is unlikely that any of my crew are aware of your situation, you will not need to fear for your life amongst us"
Malta need some honor and honesty, when it comes to internal relations. You are looking for a your own benefit and securing personal interest. I can't blame you, I have to admit that this is quite natural thing and there is basically nothing wrong. The problem is you won't have any benefits and this is not really depends on me or my choices, you will have to got into the open conflit with the Crimson Cross administation, I bet this will not worth it. The price for a new pilot is way too high and that's all about it. Besides to be honest I'm really tired and I'm not feeling like I'm ready for any military service.
I'm afraid I have to deny your offer, it is not because it's bad, it's sounds good, but definantly not in my position. it looks like I will have no choice, but to face my fate in the Cross interpretations. Signorina Lesile, I want you wish you every success in the future and want to thank you for your time. Farewell.
