[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.

[Regis is far more benign than she is, though she appreciates him despite their differences. She has the pragmatism of someone who's lived a mercenary's life for over a decade.]
It might be best if we simply intervene when we see someone attacking someone else, and aim to disable but not kill. I can directly strike a person's nerves with my magic without damaging their clothes or skin. It causes temporary paralysis.
