[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.

I know all too well of what horrors empires inflict upon sovereign nations. The order you preach is nothing short of a lie. Only death would follow if the people of this realm heed your call.

[Traitor? Wait does she mean the real Maketh? Oh...oh no.]

Where is the real Maketh Tua, impostor? What have you done--!

[He may not know Maketh well enough to consider her a 'friend' but she certainly wins his respect for aiding him the days before. Regis will not sit by idly and allow this insanity to brew without trying to stop it. That's simply how he is.]

Unity isn't accomplished through fear and intimidation.

[His gaze is focused and sharp like a tempered blade. This impostor will face judgment for this grevious crime against Maketh. He owes the guardswoman some sense of justice if she's truly gone from this world.

Her killer must be brought to heel.

To announce your crime so brazenly is a show of arrogance. There's none who will let you live to make a mockery of Maketh.
