Mesdames et Messieurs of EFL

I hope you're all doing well despite the ongoing war in Gallia which is why I'm coming to you today. Together we must ensure that our people remain safe, which will be difficult yet not impossible for I have a plan that could benefit both of us.

I'll get to the point. Two days ago I received a message from the High Command of those who are still loyal to the Crown. Turns out they too aren't happy with the Kusarian invaders, an attack on Gallia is an attack on all of us, including them. Additional information was shared to me in secret. Namely, it is in Kusari's best interest to keep the 'Royalists' out of this conflict as it would mean that if Royalists are to be the part of this war then Kusari would be heavily outmatched.

That is where we come in. Due to your manufacturing abilities and our shipping expertise, together we'd enable our Gallic forces to fight back and eventually defeat the aggressors. It's been pointed out to me that there was a de-facto list of embargo and a ceasefire between the Royalists and the National Navy which will give us an opportunity to safely deliver cargo to their respective bases.

Mes amies, for the duration of this war, I ask of you to provide assistance to those who are still loyal to the Crown and are willing to fight alongside the Confederacy. The Royalists are in a need of 4.900 units of Engine Components at this moment. These Components are to be delivered to Rodez Outpost in Roussillon. If you agree to do this, safe passage shall be provided.

As of yet, I am not sure how, but if we do this, we will, again, both benefit from this. The more enemies the Kusarians have the better it is for us and our people.

I await your response.

Madame Pomeroy,

You come to us with an interesting proposal, I assume the Royalists have given their blessing to work with us and working on that assumption your request shouldn't be too hard to fulfil.

I'd like to think that the Royalists don't hold any particular grudges against the company, as we took every opportunity available to us after their defeat at the hands of the Council. We have only benefitted from the rise of the Confederacy and wonder about their particular stance toward us now and any potential future greivances they may have against us. I'd rather like to know in advance.

The Confederacy has instructed us to ramp-up production and repair capabilities at our facilities and diverting a few shipments of engine components to Rousillon is something we're able to do without much of a fuss.

We'll fulfil your request, if you can get the answers to my previous questions in the meanwhile and communicate the logistics of this operation, civillian traffic hasn't often been welcomed into the Hebrides and i'd like to ensure all of our employees are entirely safe if they are going there.

I look forward to your response.

Véronique Baudelaire,
