This contents of this message are a matter of national security. For the sake of Malta's internal stability, I would recommend you clear the room of all but yourselves.

Elaria pauses for a moment, allowing the message's recipients time to comply. It seems apparent she is choking back tears.

General Aquila, Overlord Nomak, Loyalties of the Fedeltà. It has been reported that, in the Chamber of Deputies at Torino, Malta, the lifeless body of Ms. Enma Loyola was discovered by a junior page of the local civilian government apparatus. Civilian presence has been removed from the area, and a one-kilometer radius around the Chamber has been cordoned off by the local militia, who have been instructed to hold their positions indefinitely.

At this time, the cause of death is unknown, but all evidence points towards the report that the corpse found is indeed that of Loyola being accurate. I- The sound on the transmission cuts out briefly as the Contari matriarch turns away from the camera in an attempt to retain her composure. I have been unable to reach Enma via her high-priority PDA. Currently, the cause of death is unknown, but Maltese-born Atlantis Manufacturing medical specialists have been summoned. At this time, I will make my way to Torino to confirm the report for myself. How we will proceed from here is up to the lot of you.

E-end of transmission.

Miss Contari,

You couldn't let us know of worse and saddest happening... Miss Loyola was a great woman, and a great ally to have. I shouldn't mention how much she did help to me and to my people. We as collective are expressing our deepest condolences.

The one who did this horrible crime is to be found. if it is possible, I would like to punish this individual personally, with my own hands, but in front of all of you, just so you could see that justice will be brought.

The punishment for this horrible crime wouldn't be death, nor time spent in the cage. It would be a neverending pain, both physical and mental, and I'd make sure to make it happen for a very long period of time. I assure you miss Contari, whoever it was, will suffer. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

The Commune is at your service for whatever you would need, aside of this what I've mentioned. If you wish, we will stay away from the investigation, just do not take away from me what I want to do when the responsible individual will be found.

Overlord Nomak out.

Ciao,

I've served alongside Miss Loyola since her beginning days fighting for the Crimson Cross, this news is deeply troubling, to both myself and the National Council. No honeyed words, or sugarcoated explanations will save the person responsible for this crime. Given Miss Loyola's conditions just weeks before this incident, and given the location was on Planet Malta, I can already assume the cause of death was not natural.

I will make my appearance immediately with CID agents to help determine the cause of death, the National Council will decide what action to take once we arrive and confirm our likely suspicion.

En servicio de Malta,
Domina Maltesa, Ezio Aquila.
