[There are soldiers suiting up, under the watchful eye of a Chinese woman. She's about medium-height, and fit-looking. Her long hair is up in an ornate bun.]
Is the item set up to transmit yet? I want things to be clear. I do not do sneak attacks.
[A male voice off-camera mutters something that can't be heard clearly. The woman looks into the PCD. Her expression is stern, and her tone of voice is clipped, efficient.]
People of the outside. I am Colonel Bao Ying. I lead the soldiers in this world.
One of you, or more, took one of my men. He's dead, mudered.
You can make this very, very simple. You can hand over the culprit.
Or we can do this the hard way, and we'll be coming into your city for a little visit. We'll find them. It's your choice to cooperate or not. We won't kill innocents, but if anyone tries to start anything, we'll put it down.
You've got a half-hour to decide if you want to hand the guilty party or parties over or not. Then we come out there.
[A video-update twenty minutes later.]
You have been given twenty-four hours. Thank Negi. And discuss.

I have also been reading your other conversations, and you seem to operate under the assumption that the scientists are holding monthly meetings with us ?
[Voice]
Yes. There's a department called the PR department. I've got attendance lists, minutes, the works. They gave that to me when I got ready to contact you.
[Voice]
... I am sorry to be the one to bring such news to you, Colonel, but it seems your PR department is lying to you. There have been no such monthly meetings, not once in the year and a half I have been here.
[Voice]
...Asuna said something similar. I don't get why they would mislead me on something like this. But I really don't have attention to give to that right now. Once my men are taken care of, I can look into it.
[Video]
You are a military commander, Colonel. Your men's lives are your priority. And it is indeed unacceptabe that one of them was taken and killed. But the lives of those who remain are now your priority. And should you act on your words, it is almost certain that more will die, if not all of them.
I beg you to reconsider and not add to the bloodshed.
[Video]
I don't have options to discourage this from happening again. If the people outside the inner city can act and bring whomever did this to justice, then I won't need to take such action.
[[ooc: Bacterias are go when you want to play them, left them for you.]]

Just a second.
[Private//Unhackable]
Is this alright ?
[Video][Mirrored Private//Unhackable]
Yes. I'm being told it's secure. I'm sending the video now.
[There's a pause.]
It didn't send. One moment.
[There's a muffled conversation.]
All right. That should be fixed.
[Video File sent - Patrick's death]
[Video][Private//Unhackable]
Would you mind it if I made a public post on the network with my conclusions after I have examined the footage ? I feel my fellow citizens have a right to know about this. They are the ones bing accused, after all.
[Video][Private//Unhackable][Deleted from the network moments after being sent.]
I can't believe, yet, that it wasn't him. But if... That knowledge would put more at risk than it would help, in your city and in mine. Especially in mine.
I know the coordinate system. Suggest a place and I will make it there personally, Commander.
[Video][Private//Unhackable][Thirty minutes later]
[x;y]
I will come there alone, but armed.
