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.
