Taskmaster Flores reporting.

In accordance with the orders of the Consul, the Fleet has been working to protect evacuation transports leaving Leeds. On my own authority, I have elected to stick to defense and not interfere with the Gallic evacuation in any way, in hopes that their own patrols will reciprocate. Some have, others have not. I have been keeping the Unforgiven on overwatch duties to protect against Gallic patrols that have chosen to participate in the genocide.

Earlier today, while on overwatch, I encountered MRG Commandant Pierre Vaillant, first in a fighter, and later in command of the battleship RNS Sombre Destin. He was soon joined by the secondary fleet destroyer RNS Leygues and a fighter flown by MRG pilot Jeuge Duval. Neither Commandant Vaillant nor the forces under his command were interfering with evacuation transports, so we did not engage them.

We instead spoke at length, mostly about the war and our thoughts on the criminal turn it has taken. While the Unforgiven was engaged with an enemy battlecruiser/gunboat patrol, which Commandant Vaillant's task force assisted us with, they let slip a piece of intel that I think the Commission will find very interesting.

According to Commandant Vaillant, King Charles was not the one who ordered the bombardment. Instead, that "honor" belongs to the MRG's top commander, Amiral de Gaule Isabelle Montlaville de Chanteloup, who has since disappeared. With the speed at which Vaillant's task force withdrew after that, I suspect this was an accidental slip, though I cannot discount the possibility that this was "leaked" on purpose, to shift the blame onto someone else. I'm appending the relevant comm log excerpt to this report for OIC assessment.

OCS Unforgiven Comm log excerpt 2708826-185543 - 2708826-193045

Code:
[27.08.2019 18:55:43] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: Bonjour.

[27.08.2019 18:55:58] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: Are you here for the evacuation?

[27.08.2019 18:56:14] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: Hola. Indeed.  We're here to provide overwatch for the evacuation transports.

[27.08.2019 18:56:34] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: Some of your patrols have been firing on them.  If you refrain, we've got no issue.

[27.08.2019 18:56:38] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: Fair enough then. Feel free to continue your operations.

[27.08.2019 18:57:27] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: If you don't mind my asking, what's your take on all this?

[27.08.2019 18:57:37] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: I know not everyone under your banner has been sanguine about it.

[27.08.2019 18:58:16] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: I am still a Royalist. Royalist on a political matter. However, this genocide must be stopped. It wouldn't have even existed

[27.08.2019 18:58:18] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: either.

[27.08.2019 18:58:37] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: I granted the evacuation of the civilians.

[27.08.2019 18:58:47] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: That's something, anyway.

[27.08.2019 18:58:56] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: My mission now is to keep an eye on them and meanwhile, save my own men.

[27.08.2019 18:59:11] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: And get out from here.

[27.08.2019 18:59:50] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: I can understand inflicting horrors out of necessity.  War is, by definition, barbarous.  This seems unnecessary, though.

[27.08.2019 19:00:22] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: Even if the war is almost over, as seems to be the case, Bretonia will not likely forgive this any time soon.

[27.08.2019 19:00:23] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: There is still a limit. Here we have broken something. There is no return way.

[27.08.2019 19:00:46] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: They are not going to. Never. How even could they tolerate this?

[27.08.2019 19:01:23] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: I know I couldn't, if Malta were the victim.  I'm glad not everyone on your side has surrendered their humanity.

[27.08.2019 19:01:40] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: They will obviously try to make an attempt for capturing back Leeds and stop the genocide. I don't mind.

[27.08.2019 19:02:17] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: But that's entirely foolish. They should reconsider their decision. They don't know what is to come soon.

[27.08.2019 19:03:31] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: You are from Natio Octavarium isn't it?

[27.08.2019 19:03:46] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: I am.  I suppose I should introduce myself.

[27.08.2019 19:04:03] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: I am Taskmaster Eva Flores, overall commander of the Fourth Octavarium Fleet.

[27.08.2019 19:04:22] OSC.Day_Tripper: kind of a big deal, I take it then?

[27.08.2019 19:04:33] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: You're free to pas, Day Tripper.  This Gaul is not interfering with the evacuation.

[27.08.2019 19:04:48] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: The Fourth Fleet is our nations military force, so yes... a big deal.

[27.08.2019 19:05:02] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: A pleasure to meet you. Commandant Pierre Vaillant.

[27.08.2019 19:05:11] MRG|Pierre,Vaillant: If you excuse me two minutes.

[27.08.2019 19:05:11] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: You don't mind if my gunners return fire, do you?  I'll allow you to retrieve the pilots.

[27.08.2019 19:05:15] OSC.Day_Tripper: are you assisting in said evacuation?

[27.08.2019 19:05:36] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: I'm providing security.  The Unforgiven lacks accomodation for any significant number of people.

[27.08.2019 19:05:54] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: We're more useful keeping the lanes clear than evacuating people ourselves.

[27.08.2019 19:05:55] OSC.Day_Tripper: fair enough, I wouldn't mind clearer skies, but that's really up to our gallic friend here

[27.08.2019 19:06:15] OSC.Day_Tripper: the shields can take it, and I wouldn't want to overstep his majesty's hospitality

[27.08.2019 19:06:35] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: My apologies, my men wanted to do...a little trip.

[27.08.2019 19:06:36] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Sombre Destin, this is Leygues, Captaine Aliisa Lemaire speaking, orders?

[27.08.2019 19:06:55] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Stand by Leygues.

[27.08.2019 19:07:05] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Affarmative.

[27.08.2019 19:07:26] RNS-Leygues: Radio: As Marine does, we won't engage evacuation vessels.

[27.08.2019 19:07:38] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: I hope you are not afraid of this, Natio?

[27.08.2019 19:08:07] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: Afraid?  No.  Respectful of the firepower?  Absolutely.  Mi madre raised no fools.

[27.08.2019 19:08:59] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: This ship has accomplished many things. Now regarding your nation. What are you planning to do now?

[27.08.2019 19:09:44] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: I'm not really in a position to say.  The military answers to the civilian government, and they're not sharing the details with me.

[27.08.2019 19:10:16] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: From what I've gathered, it seems to be wait and see how this shakes out.

[27.08.2019 19:10:20] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: I see. Well it is okay.

[27.08.2019 19:10:37] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: The Consul assigned us to help with the evacuation, but nothing about what comes next.

[27.08.2019 19:11:17] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: How do you think in your opinion the war would end?

[27.08.2019 19:11:40] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Bonjour Jeuge!

[27.08.2019 19:11:59] MRG|Jeuge.Duval: Bonjour Vaillant

[27.08.2019 19:12:00] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: All signs are pointing to an allied victory, though it's not quite over yet.

[27.08.2019 19:12:26] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: I think your side made a blunder with the bombardment.  Were I planning the withdrawl, this isn't how I'd have done it.

[27.08.2019 19:13:01] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: I would've pulled back to Leeds, set up a full defensive position, then sent in the diplomats to try and end the war on favorable terms.

[27.08.2019 19:13:12] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: The Allied -Liberty and Bretonia- are exhausted. They will obviously try to enter in the system...which is suicide.

[27.08.2019 19:13:33] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: That may be, but with the reports I hear coming out of Gallia, are you really any better off?

[27.08.2019 19:13:59] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: I share your points. Sadly some...indesirable in the High Command chose for the suicide way...

[27.08.2019 19:14:14] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Gallia is lost.

[27.08.2019 19:14:24] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: You may, of course, recover your pilots.  I'm obliged to return fire, but I won't take prisoners if you can take them home.

[27.08.2019 19:14:37] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: The Conseil will take the power soon.

[27.08.2019 19:15:17] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: All the more reason to have settled this with as much of your fleet intact as you could.

[27.08.2019 19:15:24] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Now, the only matter is to save my men.

[27.08.2019 19:16:01] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Bretonia would only accept a capitulation without condition. Just what happened to Leeds.

[27.08.2019 19:16:36] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: That's a matter for the diplomats, but I suspect if you were negotiating behind a hardened defense, they may have been willing 

[27.08.2019 19:16:39] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: to negotiate.

[27.08.2019 19:17:13] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: *Laughs* I think they are going for negociations once they'll invade Leeds.

[27.08.2019 19:17:37] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Once they'll invade Leeds, probably the planet will be dead.

[27.08.2019 19:17:58] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Allied are dead.

[27.08.2019 19:18:16] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: There is only us, and the civilians on this planet now.

[27.08.2019 19:18:16] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: Again, if one of your people wants to move in and recover these ejected pilots, you may.

[27.08.2019 19:18:44] RNS-Leygues: Radio: I will proceed with this.

[27.08.2019 19:18:45] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Leygues please, bring back our pilots.

[27.08.2019 19:19:15] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: War in Gallia is lost. Lost from the start

[27.08.2019 19:20:00] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Our High Command is hidding somewhere in Gallia and order us to "regroup". They leave us.

[27.08.2019 19:20:21] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Eleven pilots secured, we will transfer them to you, Sombre Destin command, over.

[27.08.2019 19:20:24] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: The Amiral of the Marine disappeared.

[27.08.2019 19:20:44] RNS-Leygues: Radio: I hope these pilots will get new Lynx type crafts.

[27.08.2019 19:21:14] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: For sure.

[27.08.2019 19:21:26] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Wait, she really diseppeared?

[27.08.2019 19:21:42] RNS-Leygues: Radio: So.. the rumors are true.

[27.08.2019 19:21:45] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Since the battle of New London.

[27.08.2019 19:21:49] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Damn.

[27.08.2019 19:22:07] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: She vanished...prefered to hide herself. 

[27.08.2019 19:22:23] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Because she can't live with what she did.

[27.08.2019 19:23:02] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: I couldn't imagine abandoning anyone under my command.

[27.08.2019 19:23:09] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Still remembering great times when I was fighting alongside of Battleship Ressentiment, and Battlegroup in Magellan.

[27.08.2019 19:23:13] MRG|Jeuge.Duval: Pathetic 

[27.08.2019 19:23:38] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Hm?

[27.08.2019 19:24:04] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Ressentiment and the Amiral de Justeton are dead.

[27.08.2019 19:24:23] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Now, we are in retreat.

[27.08.2019 19:24:31] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: But this ship appeared.

[27.08.2019 19:24:54] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: And finished what Justeton started.

[27.08.2019 19:25:20] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Was it destroyed?

[27.08.2019 19:25:38] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Certainly. Justeton is dead.

[27.08.2019 19:25:42] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Oh damn.

[27.08.2019 19:25:57] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Some who are still hostiles...

[27.08.2019 19:26:00] RNS-Leygues: Radio: I'm not going to tolerate this.

[27.08.2019 19:26:40] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Probably puppets under Chanteloup express command...

[27.08.2019 19:26:53] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Wait.

[27.08.2019 19:27:01] RNS-Leygues: Radio: SHE was the one who ordered Leeds desctruction?!

[27.08.2019 19:27:36] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: That's entirely possible.

[27.08.2019 19:27:51] RNS-Leygues: Radio: If she was.. well..

[27.08.2019 19:27:56] RNS-Leygues: Radio: I hope she burns in hell.

[27.08.2019 19:28:16] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Killing civilians is war crime, I don't tolerate war criminals. 

[27.08.2019 19:28:26] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: Interesting.  I was under the impression that your King ordered this.

[27.08.2019 19:28:37] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: We need to leave now.

[27.08.2019 19:28:47] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: By the way, I appreciate the assist against your patrol.

[27.08.2019 19:29:05] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Now go say that to the Allied.

[27.08.2019 19:29:08] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Puppets of Chanteloup won't be tolarated.

[27.08.2019 19:29:16] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Before they die all.

[27.08.2019 19:29:37] MRG|RNS-Sombre.Destin: Vaillant: Au revoir ans good luck.

[27.08.2019 19:29:50] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: Good luck to you as well.

[27.08.2019 19:30:22] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Our ship need to resupply, so we are going as well.

[27.08.2019 19:30:27] MRG|Jeuge.Duval: good bye sir

[27.08.2019 19:30:40] RNS-Leygues: Radio: Good luck, Nation vessel.

[27.08.2019 19:30:45] NO-OCS-Unforgiven: You as well.
