Gracias, respected Senors. It was el good plan. *bridge behind looks badly damaged, but functional*

We received materials needed to patch Athos up, although she's still not battle ready. Gaians offered us drydock repairs at New Castle, but our little attack on Carillon wasn't very successful, so we had to pull back and are hiding in asteroids south from Graves. I'm afraid we can't reach Leeds hole after all this, pass through Leeds fast enough and reach Skye base in New Castle undetected. Our engines, shields and battle stations saw better days. But, we are not burning or leaking and can't be traced.

I report to be still in Dublin as ordered, well hidden here, supply lines are recovered and our bomber fleet is almost undamaged. We even received few old grumpy ladies in Gaian bombers and they are liberating gold from Bretonnian miners pretty well for their age. We are paying for our supplies in pure gold!

As that Gallic charade is over, we can do some real business where we need. Reconnaissance wing is already out, checking BAFs defences in Omega-49. Winter is coming at Gran Canaria and wasting more time would be mucho loco. We will soon launch preemptive anti-fighter attack on Stirling's defence. Bombers would bomb her in next wave, covered by our mighty Praefects.

We hope to attract part of Coalition forces, as they can't resist kissing Bretonnian asses. This suppose to make Fes's job a bit easier. They can't be on two places in el same time, no matter what Lenin said. *wide smile of freshly promoted Latino*
