Indeed, I believe the last time our organizations had serious contact was when we aided in the initial breaching of the Lorraine minefield through to Berne. An extraordinary amount has happened since then. While we maintained connections with the Maquis et the Brigands, leadership at that point thought it best to branch out elsewhere, resulting in a mutual disinterest to arise between us.

You are correct that our contacts come from many places. To be, as they say it over there, "frank" with you, Liberty's decision to come to us was a surprise here as well. But I digress.

The Unione Corse is willing to support you again, but you must be aware of our organization's rather delicate position. You see, the Famille Senat does not find the aspect of increased risks very comforting. Discretion in this case certainly is the better part of valor.

Putting political details aside for now, what does the Free Gallic Council have in mind for this new arrangement, Sergent Croix?

Quite a grocery list you have for us. Et I think it best that I know not what its eventual purpose is. The monetary amounts shown seem fine to me, and I shall ask Commandant Maxim look this all over for return route calculations. Our transports will soon begin hauling cargo.

Upon our completion of this contract however, I ask that an additional eight million credits (8,000,000¢) be sent. No need for an initial signing bonus, of course. Just ... when would you prefer to have these shipments completed by?

Confirming the shipments I dropped off at Chalons-en-Champagne Station just yesterday. There were three loads of 3,915, 3,900, then 3,900 units of engine components. In total, you received 11,715 units, as delivered by vaisseau Eclair with myself in command.

The extras were shipped as a courtesy for the Council. As the saying goes monsieur, keep the change. Further shipment records will be sent when our capitaines get the chance.
