Greetings Phoenixes,
I’m sending this message from Baffin, the home of the TAZ. Dirk and myself had an interesting meeting with one of their prominent members, so I’m going to sum up our talks with them.
We were invited by Pope Brettonias and Pope Sturgeon to one of their newly built base, the Malaclypse Freeport as they had a request regarding one of our ship, namely the Hyperion. So to get to the point, they requested the full schematics of the vessel. Their reasoning behind this request is they have some serious problems with the Gaul aggressors lately and the TAZ is in need of a warship to stop them in case of emergency. We told them that they have to wait our decision in this case.
Now here come my personal impressions and opinions.
We asked Pope Brettonias how do they can hide that ship from the wrong eyes or ensure that it won’t fall into the wrong hands. We didn’t receive any comforting answer, only that their neighboring allies – the Council and the Colonials – are reliable. In my honest opinion, such a warship can convert friends into enemies in times of war. Moreover, it is still unclear to me how can he think a single Leviathan class vessel will defend them against the whole Gaul army. Also, Pope Brettonias do understand that this ship must be protected and kept secret, still he wants a second one in the middle of Sirius which makes me think that he is very desperate and can’t make clear decisions right now.
We also mentioned to them the project Inquisitor, but we didn’t get any reaction according to that.
I hope this report covers the meeting broadly. If you still have any questions, feel free to ask. We are waiting for your answer, Christian according to this matter.
Also, I hope everything is going well in the Omicrons.
