> **[Exclusive] Interview with the RMP**
>
>
> In today's Q&A, we spoke with the officer in charge of the Railway Military Police to discuss their role in the security measures for the Summer Festival this year.
>
>
> Reporter: Thank you for taking the time to talk with us. If you don't mind me asking, how did the Railway Military Police come to be assisting with the security for the Summer Festival?
>
>
> Captain Claire (hereafter 'Captain'): I assume you are asking that question as you feel the Summer Festival has nothing to do with the railways. Well, if I might respond with another question, where do you think the origin of the railways is?
>
>
> Reporter: You mean the center of the railways? Well, I was under the impression that they're manufactured in Roer City, so...
>
>
> Captain: The whole of this nation's railway network originates here in Heimdallr. In other words, this very city is the Railway Military Police's center of operations. As such, in the same way that we have a unique right to help ensure security in towns and cities along railway lines, I believe we have a duty to ensure peace here in the capital.
>
>
> Reporter: I see. I had been wondering if it was because the Heimdallr Military Police was short of staff. Thank you for taking the time to talk with us.

> **[Breaking News] Phantom Thief B Strikes Again!**
>
>
> News has surfaced that a tiara on display at the esteemed San Corries jewelers in Heimdallr, called the Crimson Tiara (estimated value 100,000,000 mira), went missing and was then found. The perpetrator is believed to have been the elusive Phantom Thief B, and though the tiara was safely recovered by the end of the day, all involved were unable to hide their awe at the thief's unfaltering skill. A representative from the Heimdallr Military Police confirmed the incident, commenting that they 'had not expected anything to occur on the day before the festival' and would be tightening security as a result of the theft.
