Like most of the other Lateran operators we have come in contact with, Insider is extremely fond of sweets. So far, our Lateran operators have held no less than ten dessert competitions under a variety of names, with the latest one involving Insider's handmade frosted donuts. Their incredibly high sugar content stunned everyone present, and even the ultimate sugar-loving Laterans admitted the donuts were so sweet they could feel themselves getting fatter with every bite. Insider acknowledged that he modified the original recipe to use nearly quadruple the sugar, which to him was just the right amount. Our best guess is that his love for sugar stems from something he went through in childhood. According to the information we managed to find, it is extremely rare for Sankta children to live astray outside Laterano. While we have no idea what exactly caused Insider to lose his parents as a child and grow up in a Siracusan border town, the experience has undoubtedly left its mark on him. He spent his childhood materially and mentally destitute, and we have learned that in the neighborhood he grew up in, there sits a decaying and dilapidated church run by an old Sankta friar, a place left forgotten on weekdays. But it is precisely because of this safe haven that Insider and his fellow street urchins had the opportunity to grow up without running into trouble. One can imagine that he might have grown up to join a small local Famiglia, had a certain incident not occurred which changed his life's trajectory: the appearance of a squad from Laterano passing by while on a mission. This group of Laterans found the shabbily dressed young man with a wary gaze out on the streets, and after hearing his story, decided to bring the boy back to Laterano, to let him live the happy life that a Sankta deserved. It was on the way to Laterano that the young Sankta tasted a dessert for the first time. It seems logical then, for him to have fallen in love with sweetness then and there.

The completion rate of our missions ever since Insider started working with Rhodes Island speaks for itself. Like his colleague Executor, he will always find a way to complete the mission, no matter how thorny the task. Of course, there is a requirement to meet before that happens: one must successfully persuade him to accept that task in the first place. After all, he excels in avoiding troublesome jobs; one could even say he has perfected the art. In most cases, he will be unwilling to accept any missions that appear too difficult, hard to deal with, or will saddle him with heavy responsibilities. He makes no secret of this attitude; rather than chasing down fugitives or infiltrating locations, he'd prefer to deal with the trivial problems of Laterano's citizens, along with some unexpected yet ridiculously embarrassing incidents. Only when there is no one else available will he sigh and take action to swiftly settle the incident (or the instigator), while in the same breath asking for a large amounts of overtime pay. But precisely because of his habitual aversion to troublesome matters, everyone was shocked when he asked if Rhodes Island could accept some Sarkaz workers. [Voice Log] 'I don't really like meddling in other people's affairs, and some situations are especially difficult to get myself out of once I get involved. But... *sigh* How do I put this? Even an ordinary guy like me, who just wants to live a peaceful life, can get a little emotional, a little touched, from seeing where someone trying their best to chase their ideals can end up. 'It's not like I'm a cold-blooded person with a heart of stone, I'm happy to help out even if it's just a little. Within the limits of my abilities and while I'm just passing by, of course. There are just too many people out there living poor or unsustainable lives. Sanctilaminium Ambrosii is special, but not extraordinary. 'There's not much I can do either. I can only make a few suggestions, but in the end, it's up to Rhodes Island... I mean, Serpilia and Federico are running around hard at work, so wouldn't I stand out if I wasn't doing anything? 'My intentions back then? Why I jammed the doors? Uh, haha, who did you hear that from...? It was an urgent situation, and anyone at the scene would've felt like something seriously bad was about to happen, right? So of course I had to make some preparations in advance. Clean-up work isn't the most glamorous job around, but someone's gotta do it. I do agree with Oren that if things really went awry, it would've been extremely troublesome to deal with, so taking some precautionary measures would have saved us a lot of time...'

What qualities does a true, pure Sankta of Laterano possess? By observing and comparing our familiar Sankta operators with the other Sankta we keep in contact with, and combined with our understanding of Laterano City, we have reached a preliminary conclusion. Some say that Sanktas are optimists, and others say they're a merry lot, but Insider has given us another answer. He believes that the typical Sankta is 'blind.' He clarified that this is not an insult. He does not mean that the typical Sankta is ignorant or lacks purpose, but rather something more straightforward: most Sankta living in Laterano have never truly understood how people outside the city live. Most of them, born with wings of light and a halo atop their heads, are indeed carefree optimists. They may set off some small explosions on the streets, creating chaos everyday and sending the Pontifica Cohors and Notarial Hall staff running around, but the city of Laterano has always been one of order, and these lively events simply add a little luster to the city. There is an unshakeable order hidden beneath the Sankta's laid-back behavior. Most of them have never experienced material scarcity, injustice, or irrationality, such that these concepts mean little to them. They have never had to think about them, and thus will never worry about them. 'You can't possibly ask someone who's never seen a circle to describe what a circle looks like, right?' This is what Operator Insider told us. 'But does it even matter? Isn't it a good thing to be able to live like that your entire life?' [Addendum by recorder] Is there a hint of envy in Insider's voice? I can't say for sure. I once thought Executor was the eccentric among the Sankta. After all, he seems so unusual, so out of place, and doesn't even bother to disguise it. But Insider? I really can't say; he usually looks like just another cheery and carefree Sankta, so I'd always thought he was the most ordinary of them all. Now, it looks like I've made a grave error in my judgement. It would seem he simply wants to become an ordinary Sankta.
