Official Communique from the Lyon Household of Bordeleaux

---

Greetings.

My name is Chevalier Madeline Sabine de Bordeleaux, third of my name, Dame of Bordeleaux, and daughter to the late Margrave of Lyon, my father, Sir Alain de Bordeleaux, who fell at Leeds among the ranks of the Marine Royal Galouise.

For three generations our family has given His Majesty's fleets officers, delegates, ambassadors and marines in the defense of the realm. When my father, then head of the Household of Bordeleaux, died just before the eve of the successful taking of Leeds from the enemy, an age-old decree of our family was raised - that the successor and head to our proud but modest family, should serve in the Gallic Royal Navy as representative of our House.

My father died serving the GRN. Allow me to take his place and serve my king, my country and my family.


pour le roi, pour le royaume, pour la famille.

Sincerely Yours,
M.S.d.B

Marine Royale Gauloise Application Form

General Information This document, once signed and given to the local centre, will be processed within 14 days of receipt. Regardless of the outcome, you will receive a notification about the results of your application. The information that you will provide in this document is not to be disclosed to any other party. Please answer the questions accurately and truthfully. An outside party is not allowed to view, assist in writing or otherwise interact or interfere with this form. Applicant Name: Chevalier Madeline Sabine de Bordeleux Applicant Gender: <Homme (male)/Femme (female)> Applicant Age: <24 standard human years / 801 A.S.> Health Applicant Height: Approx. 165 centimeters Applicant Health Passed / Special / Failure Notes: Candidate has clean bill of health, but blood pressure dipped towards lower end of normal range as observed over an 8-week period during final trials. Applicant Fitness (underline the correct): Passed / Requires Training / Failure Notes: All psychological tests point to a closet high-functioning sociopath. Physical fitness exam results are acceptable for a cadet, but unremarkable compared to more gifted students with regard to physical vitality. Strangely however, she exhibited minimal during G-Force tests at the academy considering her frail body type, showing remarkable acclimation to shifting G-forces. Associate doctors and academy clinicians have noted her mastery of controlled, isometric breathing to counter the effects of G-force pressure. Background checks have shown a childhood predilection for diving during the pubescent years. Applicant Description Biography: [See here.] Motivations: I would like to better serve my country and my king. I feel that as dame and director of my household on Lyon, I have done all I can for the planet - the rest is up to the economy and the other minor nobles in their respective regions. I would like to represent His Majesty's Marine Royal as a proud Galouise officer serving in the Border System of Lyonnais, fronting the Kishiri System which faces us with the borders of Kusari Space and the partisan threat of organized crime - the savage and barbarous legacies of the Sirius systems. Questionnaire On a scale to ten, how would you rate your piloting ability?: <2> What are your skills?: I specialize in the proper execution and successful carrying out of convoy operations across disputed/war zones. I am also capable of carrying out raids against convoys and orchestrating pirate operations where necessary. I am also capable of managing in-system security operations and working in tandem with planetary personnel and the Gallic Royal Police in maintaining the peace, stability and security of the Lyonnais System. Furthermore, I possess an understanding of Sirian customs and culture and believe I can function well as an emissary, diplomat or ambassador attached to a GRN group, particularly in Kusari and Rheinland. I am capable of speaking fluent Rheinlander. Describe the Kingdom's primary enemies: Any and all entities who would seek to deny the Kingdom its rightful claim to the disputed territories in what is currently known as Liberty and Bretonnian space, any and all entities who would seek to undermine the authority of the DeFrance Monarchy and His Majesty, otherwise known as curs and plebs. While on patrol, you encounter a small wing of Council fighters. They spot you, and begin threatening your life unless you disable your craft and surrender to their cause. You are outgunned and the nearest friendly patrol that would bring the tide to your favour is ten minutes away from you. What will you do?: If only minor-ly outgunned, will cry merde and attempt a breakout or tactical retreat in the direction of said nearest friendly patrol. If majorly outgunned, will feign negotiation but stall to buy time until support arrives. During one of your flights, you encounter an escape pod or a malfunctioning ship. The person inside is speaking in Sirian tongue and is asking for immediate help. If you wait any longer, the pilot will perish horribly. What will you do?: The pilot will be tractored in and brought to the nearest Gallic station for immediate processing and interrogation (a la truth serum). If the pilot is found to be a pirate, privateer, brigand or free-booter, he/she will be sent back to sovereign Gallic space to work in the mines or asteroid fields. If the pilot is a military officer or of noble descent, Lady de Bordeleaux has a game: Any and all prisoners of war not sent back to the mines for forced labor aboard the vessel are incentivised to cooperate or at the very least, behave appropriately and not cause trouble. Qualifiers will be sent back home to the territory of their state via drop-off at a neutral zone. This is a Machiavellian ploy of Sabine's, meant to turn PoW's against one another, since failure to 'qualify' means being jettisoned out the airlock without a suit. Subtle methods of psychological warfare are also used, although this warrants a separate discussion entirely. What is your S.K.Y.P.E. ID?: [None. Discord ID is HongKong97#2037] Will you always remain rational and calm, follow orders, even if the situation could not be worse?: Panicking is the stuff of lower class rabble. The truly cultured do not break formation - they only curse and yell elitist profanity at the presented threat.
