Well, politics seem to be one of the inevitable forces of the universe. -=J=-Contracption encountered a pair of Gallic Royal Navy ships while out attempting to bring in Heat Sinks for the base's expansion.

I have to wonder about their competence. I realize that any skipper that can will run given half a chance, but really, blockading an unmoving transport with both a gunboat AND a battleship? I suppose they subscribe to the old adage, "Quantity has a quality all its own." It's not as if they'll be attending a convention of naval officers any time soon, so they won't have to worry about it slipping out when people are telling their tall tales.

In any case, I have appended the comms logs. We weren't trying to cozy up to them in any case, but now we have even less reason to do so.
