Master Tiltman

Well well, it has been sometime. I trust you haven't yet run out of drink wherever you are. They did where I am, which is nothing short of a crime.

However, as I was nursing my disappointment at the sudden lack of Whiskey shipments into Bretonia (possibly related to ongoing issues in Dublin), I encountered one of yours. Well, not one of yours per say but a Junker. Now I've seen quite a bit of this sector, I've met a fair few characters of different stripes and sanity. But I have never met an unemployed Junker.

I said I would pass his details along to 'someone who could help', seemed as good a reason as any to reach out. The name was D.Adenike, flying a ship identified as Infernal. Not sure if it rings any bells but perhaps you two ought to get acquainted, it might just save the congress some face.

An unemployed Junker, it boggles the mind.

Director Steiner,

As I live and breath truth be told its been so long I assumed you dead,

Thanks for the lead, I'll give the man a call and see what I can find out. However, your timing is impeccable. As I was working on a job a short while ago I came into contact with a Gallic National Intelligence agent going by the callsign "Trident". At this time no further contact has occurred outside the enclosed recording. Understand regardless of what you hear my loyalties still stand with the Bretonian Crown. However, I cannot deny the value of getting my foot in the door with the Gallic National Intelligence.

I'll keep my wits about me don't worry about me and I'll keep you in the loop.

Rick Tiltman,
Arbiter

Moving questionable goods in Gallia are we? Somethings never change.

I would strongly encourage you to build this newfound relationship, quietly and slowly. Naturally there will be endless benefits for you and your kinfolk in due course. But for the sake of my own conscious, I would also encourage you to be wary. The GNI are good at what they do, no mistake. And with their house so close to Kusari, I wouldn't expect any loyalty or assistance coming from the Hogosha any time soon.

I may be able to aid you in your endeavor however, my brother William has returned to BMF, there may be deals and negotiations which might in turn be of some interest to you. I have nothing concrete at the moment, things are only beginning to move, if you want to call it that. But I will keep you informed all the same, it could be nothing but still.

By the way, have you ever encountered the name 'Silverstone' on your travels? It was mentioned to me a few days ago, I know nothing of the man but perhaps you do. Let me know how things go with this stray Junker I found.

Director Steiner,

By the way I was wondering, could you put a good word in for us for a few licenses? Namely 3.3 - Military Materials License, and an 3_2 - Gallic Appropriation License would make my life a fair bit easier? I understand the S.I.S. has lost some amount of influence in resent years however to suggest that the Steiner family name doesn't carry weight would be a understatement to say the least.

So...what do you say?

Hook a old friend up?

For old time sakes?

Rick Tiltman,
Arbiter

I can certainly see what I can manage, I'll be having lunch with the chief of the CDI in a few days. I'm not saying 'Yes' with full certainty, but I'll try.

Now. About Silverstone.

.:Topic: On Slog:.

[Image: sBhBP9A.jpg]

Director Steiner,

As promised I would return to you with intel from my sources on where Slog is coming from. At this time I have nothing concrete however I have some leads.



From my Rheinlandic Contacts: "The substance finds its way here through the Omegas trade corridor with Bretonia, shipped mainly by independent smugglers or Mollys."



From my Kusari Contacts: "The only thing we can tell you is that this drug is not very prevelent in Kusari, or at the very least, not something we managed to intercept yet."



From my Gallic Contacts: "it seem that the so called Slog originates from Sirians, people mumbled something about "tea sippers" and Omegas but I have no idea what exactly they had in mind apart from Bretonia."



Now, this is where it gets interesting, As we can see so far all fingers are pointing to Bretonia. Which only leaves a few possibilities some upstart freelancers, Mollys, or Gaians. That is where my Bretonian Contact comes in unlike previous tidbits I'll let you read a full transcript, for my, and their, security I have scrubbed any references that could identify who my source is:

Mister Tiltman,

Been out of Bretonia for a while have we...?
*ahem*
Let me first introduce myself, I am [REDACTED], a leading figure of the [REDACTED]. My duties are usually [REDACTED] in nature, yet I often find myself drawn into the more kindred aspects of our movement and for some time now I have personally been investigating the potential origin of this blighted substance.

While my every fibre desires that I rifle your pockets for nothing, I shall give you this much for free.
At this stage it would seem that it sprung up overnight, amongst the working population of Bretonia and promptly spread like wildfire to every single corner of this crown forsaken house.
There are numerous production centres, sources and dealers, ranging from your typical chemistry set in size to warehouse scale blackmarket production.

While the [REDACTED] itself does not officially condone nor produce this product, we are aware of numerous cells within the greater [REDACTED] movement who do and we're of the mind to turn a blind eye to their operations at this stage, if only until we can further assess the potential benefits and/or far reaching consequences of this substance.

Tread carefully Mister Tiltman, the Bretonian blackmarket is a dangerous game.
One in which we are a major player and I intend to keep it that way.

As you can see, my Bretonian contact was, less than friendly as a matter of fact this could spark a trade war between us. That being said, with the information I have collected from my sources it is most decidedly coming from here in Bretonia. As to who is producing it, I have my money on Mollys though I question what their game plan is, last I knew they were a group supporting the "proletariat masses" as the Coalition would put it.



Now, on to more pressing matters, as you know my loyalty is and always has been to the Bretonian Crown over the Gallic Crown. I will be reaching out to Agent Trident my question is, how can I best serve Bretonia in these actions. As for Silverstone, I will look into them.


Rick Tiltman,
Arbiter
