As you know, the Tau supply artery has been cut off by the Crayterians. That forced us to go all out with the New London blitz. In the meantime, the Council has a straight path to Ile-de-France, and the reinforcements from other systems haven't arrived yet. The situation looks grim: it could go either way, but we need to prepare for the worst. Here is what you shall do:
First of all, dispatch Le Monarque to New Paris. Load it with enough supplies for long-term autonomous operation. Le Monarque will evacuate all our essential personnel, primarily from Ile du Palais. Non-essential personnel in other districts can be let go; they don't possess information about our work. But make sure to leave no evidence for the Council to find.
Secondly, prepare to abandon our Forward HQ on Leeds. You may have noticed the Triumph-class destroyers in orbit. If our blitz in New London fails, and Leeds is surrounded, la Marine might go for "scorched earth". Should that occur, ensure that our capital vessels have enough room for essential personnel in case of emergency evacuation.
Regardless of what happens to New London, Leeds, and New Paris, Escadron XXII must be prepared to regroup with other GRIS-22 assets and Royalist forces. War won or war lost, we can't let our efforts and achievements go to waste.
