[The video opens on the Emperor, who is writing at a desk. She looks... composed, but with that hard-edged irritation in her that so many foreigners have come to know and either hate or be frustrated by. She sets her pen down and looks up. She is Not Here For This Bullshit, but children must be minded and the foreigners are little else, as far as she's concerned.]
As some of you may know, we were recently attacked by the undead. Despite your admirable efforts in turning away the enemy, some individuals who cannot seem to think beyond the end of their fists and considerable over-compensatory strength caused structural damage across the turtle shell. This damage caused significant collapse in ancient sewer systems.
My architects are working to repair the areas. Stay away from them. And no you may not help. Anyone caught in the area will be arrested and incarcerated for an indefinite amount of time.
If you've nothing useful to say, remain silent. My time is precious.

How fitting that Javert's first look at this computer network should have to do with sewers. The Seine gave him a lifetime and death's worth of sewage and he could do without that, thank you very much.
He has no intention of wasting time, but there is one matter that concerns him. He proceeds with a healthy dash of caution.]
I won't take much of your time, Madame Emperor. You imply there are civilian-restricted areas in the city. I did not know this. One question.
Where can I find a copy of your law code?

Any local book vendor would carry it.
[And he would find it populated with laws such as 'don't damn well murder people', 'don't steal'. Destroying resources is punishable by considerable jailtime (though the foreigners are frequently excepted from these rules)
Also it is in very bad form to wear hats on a Tuesday, and due to long-standing tradition highly illegal not to wear different coloured socks on the first day of each new month.]

And are they sold in multiple languages? I am not versed in the local writing.

[He bows his head - awkwardly, he senses with a grimace. How does one bow respectfully through one of these devices? Another ticky box to add to his reasons for preferring face-to-face interaction to these advanced communications techniques.]
Thank you. I don't want to encroach on your laws. I come to you as... traveler, to this place. I do not wish to impose my will on your city.
A good day to you, Madame Emperor.
[And with no want to take up any more of her schedule, he hastily exits the comm link.]
