Manners, manners. You should consult your professors on how to speak to a Maltese Don eight to ten times your age.
Are you not the one who entreated my aid? Now why would I be selfless and do all of this for you if it would mean literally giving out free infomation to the Gallic crown? For all intents and purposes, I cannot see how this can benefit Malta. If you have given a promise you are unwilling to break, then get creative and find an analogue to what I want from you in return for access to the Calliope. I have seen Lane Hackers outwit even the sharpest of wits. Take it as a challenge, if you will. Talk to your royal and convince them they need to talk to me if their search is to bear any fruit.
I have been thinking. There is actually no real reason for me to rely on you in all this. With what you have given me, all I really need to do is show the Royal Navy footage of the Calliope and I am quite sure they would be willing to do quite a lot to get their royal back. I think I will see that I do that when I feel like it.
I would like to apologize for the conduct of our agent. She was entrusted with a mission that clearly proves to be above her caliber. As a token of our regret please accept evidence of the TAZ conducting an espionage mission in the restricted Omicron Phi system. ①②③④
You may freely contact the Royal Navy if you believe they will deal with a Don of Malta, let alone acknowledge that the Maltese successfully abducted a member of the Royal Family. However we are of the opinion that we are still your best option in this complicated affair.
Regarding your question, I am afraid but we are not allowed to disclose the identity of our employer. Furthermore, we only received general information which do not allow us to proceed any further in our investigation without your assistance. So to put it simply, we both need each other. And I am confident that both sides acknowledge this delicate balance and work together towards a mutually beneficial outcome.
We need access to the Calliope, my Don. Under the Council's supervision, of course.
The Lane Hackers have always been friends most cherished by Malta. The Calliope has entered some sort of lockdown when it was captured. We are neither able to activate engines, shields or weapons, much less access its data core. Gallic technology is quite unfamiliar, which aggravates the problem. If you are interested, you may send your personnel to Malta. From there, I will have transportation arranged that will take you to the Calliope. If it turns out to be true that a Gallic royal was accidentally captured in the past, I first and foremost need to know why this never reached the Council's chambers.
