Sujet: Commande de Retrait d'Urgence
I will, of course, follow orders and keep to my oath. I will report to Burgundy as ordered. I will be bringing only a single Plier-class patrol ship, as it was the only ship I was able to take from Leeds before the bombardment began. I do have one request, however. Before I report to Burgundy, I would like to take a few days to visit my family on Marseille. As they reside in one of the sunken cities, communication has often been inconsistent and I haven't seen them since before I left Gallia for the front lines.
