Fallen Grace

Thionville Base

Three Days before Fallen Grace

Gallia...

She had not thought to ever see this realm from the inside. At least not that soon.

On the other hand she had not seen much. A mine field surrounding a jumphole, a few distant planets, a base guarding the mine field. Then Sefegiru and the other agents from One Four One had been guided to Thionville by their Corse contacts. For safety reasons until they could set up a new and better spot for the ships.

The sneaking into Gallia with the help of the Union Corse together with the first parts of the Colonial forces had happened better then anyone expected.
Sefegiru remembered that one of the Corse had said something about a little distraction that they had prepared a few minutes before the arrival.

She looked around on Thionville. The base carved into a larger asteroid was so strange and then familiar at the same time. Somehow it resembled the relation between Gallia and the rest of Sirius.
Concentrate yourself on the mission, girl! she told herself. It was better to have a task then just standing around. She reconsidered the current situation of the vanguard Order forces. The fighters were already maintained by her owns agents and a bit of help from the Corse.

Although she had given out a strict order to them to not give out more information about Order technology then absolutely necessary. It made things a bit more difficult, but it was better to deny allies information then let it get into the hands of enemies. Either by accident or intention.

"Pardon, mademoiselle" A mid-age man came closer to her. She looked at him in a skeptical way. While the Union Corse had proven to be a good source of information, Sefegiru always made herself clear, that they were dealing people who had their operation in the shadows more or less.
She slowly put her left had away from the gun she had hidden under her jacket on the back.
"Ah,yes..ah, oui?"
The Corse waved with his hands in front of her, while he tried to explain something to her in his native tongue.
"Une nouvelle...message." The man pointed at Sefegiru.
"Ah...merci", she smiled gently at him. So there was a message for her. Sefegiru followed the older man to a terminal, where he entered a code before he left her alone to read the transmission.

It was from Commander Davids. She read it as fast as possible

"We got your news. Proceed as planed. I suggest some sightseeing tour before we pay a visit to our special friend
Speaking of...Guess who is coming for dinner?
D."

She allowed herself a smile. So more elements of the taskforce would arrive soon. Good. It would make things more easier for her. And she now had a new task.
After she had deleted the message Sefegiru walked to the next Corse member and asked for Logarus.
After some difficulties she finally had a secure channel to Logarus. At least he was able to talk to her in a language that was not French.

"General, is it possible to set up some sort of flights within Gallia? Our agents have to become familiar with this part of space."
