Michelle Garibaldi looked at the reports flung across her desk, Bretonian attack my foot, she thought, there was no way any of the fleets had been engaged in that action, they simply would never have got close enough even if theyd mustered every fleet they had, and to claim no loss of Bretonian life, well that was just preposterous. This left only one option, and that option left a bad taste in her mouth, there was something out there with the power to destroy an entire base without taking losses, it wasnt the Nomads, Cadiz was hardly undefended. After the Nomad war developments in weapons tech had advanced far enough to mean that some of the squids would be destroyed in any attempt to destroy a base.
Get me the Intelligence Division, now talking into her communicator, she began to realise the responsibilities being an Admiral of one of the Queens fleets heralded, if she was right then something was coming that would threaten everything. She had to be certain.
Admiral, you called? I dont appreciate being hollered out of my bed, even if it is for a Fleet Admiral Director General Finlay appeared to have just woken up, the video linked showed a man in his sixties, looking rather dishevelled
Yes, I apologise, if it wasnt as important as I believe this is I wouldnt have disturbed you. However, I want you to investigate the destruction of Cadiz.
Cadiz? Well youve read the official release I presume, what more is there to say?
Admiral Garibaldi gave him a withering look, in her 40 years of military service it had never failed to get the right response. Director General, you know as well as I do that even were the entire BAF to mobilise wed never get that close to Cadiz, and even if we did we would take losses, the BAF is not all powerful. Much as we both wish it was.
The Director General looked put out for a moment, it passed and he began to talk once more. Admiral, we recovered a recording device from the wreckage, but at this stage we are still analysing the data recovered from it, rest assured that when we have, if you are considered need to know, then you will be told. That is all. With that the Director General cut the connection.
