Monsieur Boucher, After a day or so spent at thinking about your message and multiple analizes of logs sent by you as well some patrols in Orkney, I've came to conclusion - First, the Radman, informations shared by him are indeed true. There can be seen Gallic Naval forces transports heading to modular installation located near Planet Sanday. Crippling these supply units will have heavy impact on enemy force therefore I'm sure that Radman would require some prize for intel he gave you. What about that Bounty Hunter... I don't really trust Sirians but If its true that he works for himself we may gain another gun facing at Navy units for some price of-course. My last investigation shows that base is still in construction however its already capable of supporting multiple fighter wings. I would request to deploy at least one capital sized vessel, one bomber, and two fighter wings in Orkney System ready to support eventual strike on the installation and transports.
What are your toughs?

What part of "you are in charge" do you not understand! I am busy trying to get something out of the Lorraine, Champagne and Caussade messes, putting our Inaugural Annual Propaganda and Fighting Leaders' Ceremony together and my back started hurting terribly to top it all off!

You have Carte Blanche, use our spare resources to reward the Junker if you think he deserves it, tell him about Martinique and that it pays for Council Military Salvage and do what you see fit in Orkney, grab whoever is willing to help you out.

Take charge, and don't worry about fucking up. First you wouldn't be a Maquisard if hou haven't made a few big screw ups in your life, and second - we have hit Orkney before and we can hit it again if you make a mess of things, go for it!

Ok? Ok!

You and the Junker weren't kidding - there is some sort of angry looking base and the Bretonians are attacking!

I got my sexy [FLG]NT-Predator some great upgrades lately - A Sirian that was looking even dodgier than a Brigand Loan Shark sold me this Furnace Performance Thruster that propells my Pradator to explosive speeds!

Two of some sort of Seafood shaped Bretonian ships were already there - and guess what, the cocky Sirians said we won't be able to do anything with our ships!


Not on my watch - my Predator packs a punch of a killer whale, is as fast as a cheetah and agile like a dolphin, I decided to show the Brets what it can do. There was no chance the mighty Predator would get blown up by one little base!



The mighty Predator got blown up

Ok so listen, this freelancer on a Kestrel, Tocsun hates that those guilty of Leeds went unpunished. I explained the situation, handed him propaganda and decided to test him.

I have shipped him 20 million credits and asked him to deliver whatever he thinks we'd need from Sirius to Roussillon and then give us a call.


If he does well and reaches out let's consider to offer him a spot in our military arm before we let him do the more...passionate stuff under my tutelage.


Secret Mission
Remi, I have done what you asked me to do, not seen by anyone I didn't want to be seen by.

I sure hope you know what you are doing - I am no good diplomat, I am straightforward and hate games like this, but if you can navigate through this I will consider you the sorcier en chef des négociations.

Long story short, the Royalists swarmed Tau-44. The strange traders I've met the other day were chatting to Crayterians and were assaulted.




I would find out more but an asteroid blew up a nova in my face. That bastard.

---

Those guys that were vital in saving Caussade project came back after a very long time - although why were they hauling food supplies to Gallia of all places escapes me.

Oh well - we want allies and keep our pro-Sirian stance, trying to understand their bizzare behavior that includes odd trading patterns, ships and even fantastical far fetched tales of some space lizards that climb into people is sort of what we need to do.

I told them we will always welcome more of their munitions, guns or whatever was the good stuff they have been shipping us, we exchanged pleasantries and they were on their way - wherever it is that Sirians go.

---

Got myself 30 large ones from GMS, sellin' that to that place god knows where - Kappa something, location I got from a bartender aeons back.



No clue where the fuck I am, but this is a lot of money for the cause

We have widespread support currently from the populace across former Republique and from a lesser extent the Minarchy so I wouldn't mess with this stuff in the open as it won't win us many popularity contests. But we do have some of the substance Gaians used on Gaia - I am open to ideas.

Two days ago on Battleship Pamiers I was approached by Boucher, who told me a new jump hole appeared in the Agout Asteroid Field and asked me to accompany him on the scouting flight. After jumping, we emerged in the previously uncharted space near the binary pair of Tau-61. The hole leading back to Roussillon is located near the edge of an icy asteroid field on the outskirts of the system, facing a gas giant with three moons. The largest of them appeared to have atmosphere and water on the surface, but we were unable to find a reentry vector safe enough for our ships to use.
A quick tour around revealed another jump hole in a second asteroid field on the opposite side of the planet, this one leading to Orkney, not far from Gaians' Kirkwall Base. While we cannot be completely sure without a detailed survey, it appears those are the only two entry/exit points into and out of the system. Boucher already started planning how to use the new space when we found out we weren't the first ones to get there.

While flying through the large nebula outwards from the jumphole, our sensors started returning unusual readings. We decided to cloak and check them out. The source of those anomalous signals turned out to be a large installation of unknown ownership. Boucher tried to initiate contact from the safety of cloaking field, but received no response. Likewise, there was no traffic anywhere near the station, despite it visibly being equipped to service large vessels, including capital ships. We soon started to run out of cloaking device batteries, so I decided to leave and led us back to Roussillon, where we docked on Caussade. Unfortunely, most of the data I gathered about the station had been corrupted for unknown reason, including the navigation logs.

Found myself a new source of guns! Volgograd Ordinance, it's good stuff, oui - get it in Omegas, Caussade will pay handsomely if you deliver it - 5659 credits per unit to be exact. Nox can be taken to Gran Canaria from Montauban in Roussillon on the way there!
