[Not long after this.

At first glance, it appears to be Maketh holding the phone. It's her usual uniform, perfectly ironed, hair pinned up in a severe bun. She's standing outside the guardpost, rifle at her side. Everything looks as it ought to except for a single detail. The blue sash that all the guardsmen wear as a symbol of their position is nowhere to be seen.

Oh, and ignore the spray of blood across her chest. That's not important at all.]

Hello, citizens. I fear this experiment in democracy has gone on a little too long. It's high time to dispense with the nonsense and remember where we ought to stand. And what we are.

[She smiles.]

You needn't worry. The Empire loves all his children. All he asks is your loyalty.

[She pauses, glancing back at the guardpost.]

I'm terribly sorry about the mess, of course. But civilization always comes with a price. A gesture was necessary.

[Her tone hardens.]

Guardsmen, report in immediately. I want this under control.

Oh, I rather think they can.

[This time, the double is dead serious.]

[unitas]

Do you want to prove it? [ And Sharon, too, is entirely serious, daring, even. ]

[mismanagement]

Are you so eager to test yourself?

[The double shrugs.]

No matter. You'll get your chance soon enough.

[video]

[unitas]

No, I'm just eager to beat your face in and teach you a lesson.

[mismanagement]

[The double just laughs.]

You'd hardly be the first. Try to make your threats a bit more convincing, will you?

[video]

[unitas]

Do you think I'm just spitting bullshit? [ because she knows where this Maketh is at and she will come for her if necessary. ]

[The double just frowns.]

You're a child with too much power. Not the first. Nor the last, I suspect. If you live long enough, you might be something worth remembering. But not yet.

[The double smiles.]

I'm sure it will be glorious.

[unitas]

You know what? Scratch just beating your face in. Maybe I should lead you into the fog, let you deal with your own nightmares so nobody here has to listen to you blather on anymore.

[mismanagement]

[Promises, promises.]

All in good time.

[video]

[unitas]

I suggest you hide because I'm heading your way. [ The video shows that she's clearly on the move, albeit not with too much speed. ]

[video]

[mismanagement]

[Welp. Time to move on. The double has plans. She can't involve her allies just yet.]

Hmm. I'll deal with you soon enough.

[unitas]

Coward. [ She taunts lazily. ]
