[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.

[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.]
