As per request, at the behest of James Skirka I made contact with an operative by the name or callsign of 'Nyctophilia'. I successfully recruited them as an intel asset. However in all further communication regarding this asset they prefer to be referred to by the callsign 'Nathalie Crouse'. I have attached a copy of our correspondence and they relayed to me, after a slight delay, records of some Auxesian interatctions showing they are in some cases trying to maintain neutrality with Nomads. This intel was ordered weeks ago and I believe we should 'shelf' it pending more urgent needs in New London. We may need to enlist as much of Battlegroup Auxesia now more than ever. I will continue to make observations.
In regards to the advances into New London, I have begun to prepare all of the assets under my responsibility to contribute to BAF defenses. At this time I must reiterate a report I made several months ago regarding emergency measures to augment the New London defense. I again recommend we try to implement these measures ASAP to counter any imminent offensive.
1. NEMP dispersal: All agency NEMP's should be equipped on appropriate craft, and made ready to deploy on short notice. These craft should then be dispersed to critical points along the defensive line, so the weapons will be distributed along the front, and increase our ability to get one to a critical battle zone ASAP.
2. Special Strike Teams: Assemble and deploy a small special operations force to specialize in increased attacks on enemy supply lines. Agents, mercenaries and privateers would qualify to be used for this. This force may be able to be used to attack enemy infrastructure behind the lines, perhaps via NEMP attack. In conjunction with this, we should now focus more attacks on (now fixed) Gallic controlled trade lanes in the Leeds system.
3. Defensive Bases: Deployment of 1 or multiple single core modular base installations along the front, within the contested zone. With the proper use and placement of single core modular bases, we can reinforce now weakened zones in New London, Manchester, Dublin, and even Leeds. These bases could be deployed to hidden locations, and equipped with shields, and multiple weapons platforms. Rather than attempt to establish long term, permanent bases, we should consider the option to deploy several smaller scale facilities, that require less time and resources. This plan would require the cooperation of the BAF and the Merchant Navy, but if we were to lay the ground work and perform the administration and intel gathering, a coordinated effort could allow for the deployment of 2-3 bases per month. These bases could then not only extend the range of our capital vessels once more, but provide a focal point for the Royal Navy on our terms. Assuming they would be secret as long as possible, if discovered, a chance to defend such a base is a chance to inflict damage on the enemy. Additionally, in the event of a catastrophic loss of leadership, government collapse or an attempt at surrender, secret facilities should be established as fallback positions for long term resistance.
4. Intelligence Operated Cruiser Force: In conjunction with options 2 and 3, the launching of several of our own SIS operated (classified) Crecy Class battlecruisers should be considered. Such vessels operating strictly under SIS authority could serve as excellent long range command ships for strike teams, and provide a 'secret' defense force to augment New London's defense, and to be deployed to defend potential 'secret' bases, until the BAF could take over. Having our own vessels will also establish a force less likely to be compromised by espionage.
5. Superweapons: We should continue to stockpile NEMP's as much as possible. These weapons are critical for defense from large scale fleet attacks. Pilots should be assigned as NEMP bombers, and trained to specialize in weapon deployment. Development of larger scale conventional weapons should also be elevated in priority. Also, development of any other large scale weapons of mass destruction (WMD's) now ought to be considered as a primary deterrent from any further Gallic advances or plans for long term occupation.

In the short term, I believe we can achieve the distribution of our NEMP's among our agents, the commissioning of several Crecy class Destroyers commanded by any agents capable, and the assembly of a bomber strike force, in particular to deliver NEMP's to defend New London (NEMP Bomber force). With the director's permission, I am prepared to get to work on this right away.

Agent Hudson Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service, Bretonia
