La Maréchaussée de Gaule The Marshalcy of Gallia Identité: Fantôme, Force d'Intervention
We received a distress signal on Planet Bordeaux from Maréchal d'Aboville, who had encountered a pair of resistance fighters identifying as 'Crayter' in the Tau-31 system. Upon arrival the Marshal was under attack by a single fighter, and a second opened fire in response to my presence there.
Both fighters were dispatched with no losses for the Enclave.
Provost Laroux requested mineral transport. She apprehended a gold miner in Dublin. We collected, without use of force, 1824 standard volumetric units of gold ore. I flew the VL Autorité to sell this ore in Honshu for processing. The revenue has been transferred to other Marshalcy accounts. On the return run, I collected water from New Tokyo and delivered to Fort Albi to sustain our citizens and forces living there.

[11.09.2019 23:05:26] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: Now as you are a hostile vessel mining in Enclave territory, we will be seizing your cargo.
[11.09.2019 23:05:52] Anthony.Clarke: Hmm
[11.09.2019 23:05:59] Anthony.Clarke: How about you pay for it like everyone else
[11.09.2019 23:06:08] MdG/-VL-Autorite: Do you take energy blasts as payment?

[11.09.2019 23:06:31] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: My offer is a kindness. We can easily take it by force.
[11.09.2019 23:06:50] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: You drop it, we take it, we leave you alone.
[11.09.2019 23:06:54] MdG/-VL-Autorite: Snarking will earn you few discounts.

[11.09.2019 23:08:19] MdG/-VL-Autorite: This *is* our mining ship.
[11.09.2019 23:08:25] Anthony.Clarke: or are you too lazy to do some real graftin
[11.09.2019 23:08:42] MdG/-VL-Autorite: Now, you may resume operations when we have vacated a 5 kilometer radius around your vessel.
[11.09.2019 23:08:43] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: We don't need a mining ship when you're doing the work for us.
[11.09.2019 23:09:19] MdG/-Eveline.Laroux: it's not hard to figure out
[11.09.2019 23:09:20] MdG/-VL-Autorite: The Enclave will make good use of your materials.
[11.09.2019 23:09:27] MdG/-VL-Autorite: You should be pleased.
Using Evreux Research Station as a staging point, I traveled to the trade lanes between Maintenon Shipyard and Vendome Residence. I quickly was able to interdict a provisional military patrol consisting of two Cougar bombers and a Penance destroyer. The two bombers were quickly dispatched of and the destroyer fled once its escorts were destroyed. With minimal damage sustained I returned to base before reinforcements could arrive.

I received an assistance call from Julien D'Aboville who was running a patrol through the Dublin system. As I arrived, D'Aboville was engaged with a Bowex transport who had refused to stop it's engines or accept communication requests. I tried as well and with no reply, it attempted to jump into the New London system. There was an oddity, perhaps with the gate failing, and the transport was instead dumped at least fifty klicks behind the gate, still within the influence of the Dublin sun according to our navigational triangulation tools.
We found it instead attempting to flee back into the system towards the safety of Graves Station. Before it could enter it's defensive perimeter I was able to heavily disable and ruin the vessel, forcing it to drop cargo. I've included the chase cam images, as well as confirmation of it's cargo void in space. I've collected a sample to be delivered to our quartermaster's supply.

Long-range scans detected a Separatist ship in the New London system. Troop Marshall D’Aboville and I attempted to pursue the vessel however it had left Bretonian space. During this time, Bretonian Armed Forces fighters were scrambling to intercept us. After rallying at the Battlecrusier Carillon, we caught Commander Holden by the Leeds Jump Hole. Lieutenant Greene soon followed and we engaged the combatants.
Both hostiles were defeated and we returned to Aquitane for debriefing.
[13.09.2019 21:14:46] MdG/-Samuel.Deschamps: Well well
[13.09.2019 21:15:07] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Looks like we caught a lone fighter. Seems like easy pickings
[13.09.2019 21:15:08] BAF|Cdr.Rick.Holden: Deschamps, I believe we met briefly before. You never answered my question.
[13.09.2019 21:15:35] MdG/-Samuel.Deschamps: It was an idiotic question. It will never be enough until we wipe your pathetic lineage from this galaxy.
[13.09.2019 21:15:38] BAF|Lt.Vincent.Greene.: Oh, how annoying
[13.09.2019 21:15:54] BAF|Lt.Vincent.Greene.: Commander, orders please.
[13.09.2019 21:16:04] BAF|Cdr.Rick.Holden: My pathetic lineage? You wiped thousands of your own out trying to kill us.
[13.09.2019 21:16:15] BAF|Cdr.Rick.Holden: The war is lost. Lay down your arms and go home.
[13.09.2019 21:16:37] MdG/-Samuel.Deschamps: I was about to tell you the same. It is futile. Save us the trouble and end yourself.
[13.09.2019 21:16:43] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: You are deeply mistaken if you think the war is over.
[13.09.2019 21:16:54] BAF|Cdr.Rick.Holden: They're insane, Lieutenant.
[13.09.2019 21:16:58] BAF|Lt.Vincent.Greene.: Commander, seems we have a couple of lunatics, only one option here
[13.09.2019 21:17:05] BAF|Cdr.Rick.Holden: Agreed. Weapons free.
[13.09.2019 21:17:07] BAF|Cdr.Rick.Holden: Break and engage.
[13.09.2019 21:17:11] BAF|Lt.Vincent.Greene.: Confirmed
[13.09.2019 21:17:15] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: Lets do it Samuel, opening fire
[13.09.2019 21:17:16] MdG/-Samuel.Deschamps: Charging weapons and going in.
[13.09.2019 21:17:17] BAF|Lt.Vincent.Greene.: here we go
[13.09.2019 21:21:15] Death: BAF|Cdr.Rick.Holden was put out of action by BAF|Lt.Vincent.Greene. (Mine).
[13.09.2019 21:22:00] MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville: I will take this one Samuel
[13.09.2019 21:22:03] MdG/-Samuel.Deschamps: All yours
[13.09.2019 21:26:18] Death: BAF|Lt.Vincent.Greene. was put out of action by MdG/-Julien.D'Aboville (Gun).

A short status report of my establishment at the assigned garrison. As an addition to my old Lynx, I've been reinforced with BXJ-5 "Cougar". This bird has seen some action, but I've run the tests and it appears to be fully operational. Though, I am facing problems with the injector on my Lynx's engine. Requesting to add my fighter to the service todo list with the low priority marking. It's still flyable after all, and I believe that our engineers are very busy right now.
Living conditions are much better than expected. Room is big, with the great lighting and new furniture. Garrison is having all sorts of legal entertainment available. Rations seem to be standard, with some pieces lacking here and there from time to time. It's not affecting combat readiness at all. I am sure it will be resolved.
Oh, I've also received a new police uniform, it's a bit unusual after wearing a Naval uniform for so many years. I've got daily and flying set, but the parade set appears to be lacking. I bet we need to give some time for our logistics to recover. I will file a complaint to intendante service.
I took my Lynx to New London in search for vulnerable supply routes that I could disrupt. However, before I could intercept any transports, I caught the attention of a Secret Intelligence Service and two Bretonian Police pilots. After exchanging insults an engagement ensued. Using our superior technology and training the three targets were quickly destroyed and I was able to make my escape before reinforcements could arrive. Unfortunately, I couldn’t track down any transports during my raid and had to cut the mission short due to my presence now being known. I returned to Aquitaine to rearm and prepare for my next assignment.
Shipments of solar panels fetched from Kusari in the VL Enquête and brought to Orthez for expansion of our permanent structures in Aquitaine. Manifests attached.
A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay,
brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
