*Achille's stage smile increases several degrees* "Ah, a private channel, here a man can talk business without any fear of interruption. Oh, and women, of course... *He reclines slightly*.

"Evidently you wouldn't have transmitted this message on the back of small talk alone so let us cut directly to the heart of the matter. Gallia, as ever, is unstable. Our esteemed monarch, may God preserve him, rests his survival on his ability to... distract... the seething masses of the New Paris proletariat from the Council rebellion, in much the same way the Council rebellion accidentally fallicitated the Tau annex by somewhat unhelpfully carving several Valor-sized holes in the Orkney minefield. I personally, owe loyalty to neither, or either, whichever appears to be winning, whilst my boss, Mr Robert over there, may have slightly different opinions..." *glares somewhere out of view*.

*Achille brings up a map of the Taus with a single tap of the stylus*

"I happened to have the benifit of sighting the 'Lioness' myself during a minor escort operation over the last few days. A superb warship... indeed... quite the sensor footprint." *A sillouette of the Lioness appears on the viewscreen, before fading into the black of the screen*.

"I actually attempted to hail your warship at the time, but... well... hardware faliure I'm sure. But as to the question of something to offer I believe our current number of three (although worthy) is insufficient to answer this question. I would also wish to add a certain "Lucky" LeRoux, the direct Overseer for Freeport 10 conversation before we arrange any particulars".
