Chanteloup appears on the screen, all formal.

Messieurs, mesdames,
Dear colleagues,

One month ago, I was informed by the director of EFL, Jérémie Dupont himself, of an unregistered facility located at the outskirts of our territory, in Lorraine. I disregarded the information as being unworthy of my time. It'll fall quickly into disrepair owing to faulty construction or negligence on the part of its unwashed owners, thought I.

I am not often wrong. But I was, this time. To this day, and in bold defiance of the norm, San Sebastian continues to exist, vexing us all with its unsolicited, rusting presence. I expect it is packed full of Maltese expatriates, engaged in all sorts of dirty manual labour designed to corrupt our youth with their strange, unnatural drug. While Gallic youth can generally be relied upon when it comes to choosing the right tool to intoxicate themselves, I won't take any risk. I am mobilising our reserve units to form a quick reaction force and remove this installation from the premises ; and all within it. Our colleagues from the Police and Intelligence services are welcome to join in this effort. Here are the details of opération Quiche lorraine.

DESIRED OUTCOME : complete and utter annihilation of the hostile installation known as San Sebastian storage.
LOCATION : Lorraine system, 2D.
PREDICTED ENEMY FORCES : insignificant. Threat level considered low.
REQUIRED ALLIED FORCES : Four Valeur-class battleships at the least. Moderate escort and light fighter screen desirable if can be spared.
TIME : Sunday 21st of Avril, 19h00 standard Gallic time. RV point is Lunéville guard station. NOTE : available units outside of Gallia are advised to meet up with a jump-drive capable battlegroup in the orbit of Leeds, prior to RV time.
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT : No quarter is to be given. Eventual prisoners will be transferred to the GRI unit Les Révélateurs and thus placed under their sole responsibility.

I will be in command of this operation aboard the Téméraire. Any questions, ask them in response to this transmission.

Bonne soirée.
