I've heard of your organization's recent formation, even heard a number of our transports and escorts flew together a couple of times- this is good. Maltese unity has been... absent, as of late on the part of a select specific set of individuals.
Given my reputation, I'll assume you know who I am, I was wondering if you could return the favor and tell me of yourself- hopefully quickly. There's work to be done and the sooner we wrap up, the sooner everyone benefits.
Think of this as a new beginning, as well as being the beginning of the end for some.

You needn't explain your reasoning to me as for your establishment of your organization: believe me the... fervour of a number of my associates wears thin on my patience more often than I'd care to admit. This is partially why I've chosen to contact you.
As to your question, I'm reaching out to you specifically on the behalf of the peoples of the Cross. Something that is often misunderstood about my organization is the exact degree to which we require and demand devotion to the Lights. Put simply: vassal families are sworn to our cause by way of materiel, personnel, and arms alone, and they make up the majority of the Cross's current holdings.
I contact you today on behalf of them, and the behalf of the many of Malta that grow tired of the white-bow wearing fanatics that are being catered do. I stand amongst these people and have been listening to this for long enough now. Malta's people deserve better, and are soon to get better, I plan to see to that. It is usually the job of an Inquisitor to root out such collusion within the Order of Tarxien, but who better to right the wrongs of my organization than the one meant to deliver it's corrupt elements to the Quorum. The difference here is that this time my job is made much easier: everyone I need to "have a chat with" will already be assembled.
In summary: A lot is about to change. I'm looking to you and your people to ensure that we have your allegiance in the coming months. Not only that, I may require direct support from you and yours to assemble everything and everyone. So with the cards now bluntly hurled onto the table, I must ask: do you stand with Cross, or do you stand with the Quorum?

You'd be wise to steady your tongue on such matters in future: the goal here is abolishment of the sole focus of Tarxien's faith: some who will be working with us on this operation still uphold it vehemently, they just see it less all-encompassing as the Quorum would have everyone believe. Your sentiment however is in the right place.
Now that we're on the same page then, I need to know how capable and ready you and a small number of your associates will be in the coming days; The sooner this operation is undertaken the better. My own Inquisitors are either too loyal or off on assignment, and the most loyal individual I have that I could bring along is presently overseeing a currently underway project- and thus is indisposed.
How prepared are you to walk into a firefight?

A warrior's skill can only make up for a lack of numbers to a point, hence my inclusion of your lot in all of this.
And as for the operation: I'll keep it simple: An upcoming Quorum assembly has presented me with the opportunity needed. My own assembled teams along with your group will secure the upper spire containing the Quorum's Assembly Hall and the main communications tower, while myself and a select few others enter the meeting. Once this is done, all you and your people need to do is make sure everything stays quiet and that nobody enters that isn't supposed to - worry not about anything else. What happens afterwards if fluid, we'll have to see how things play out.
Know this however: What I plan for within and following this undertaking could just as easily backfire on us as it could succeed. Don't accept this lightly, you risk much for yourself and your fellows by doing so. If I've managed to not scare you off thus far, then contact me on closed channels and begin sending everything and everyone you'll need to the Destroyer Mgarr, low Malta orbit roughly 30 kilometers from Valetta.
