Marshal.

I would expect nothing less, and I will submit myself to your scorn once I have accomplished all I can do here. Your authority is absolute.

Since I have a few moments to spare, I'll make a report now. The rebels are making use of my combat capability, resulting in the successful ambush of two privateer vessels that had launched from Canaria. We attracted the attention of armed forces deployed in the area and a lone Templar met me in single combat and promptly fell.

The rebels are also seeking large quantities of.. fertilizer. I believe they intend to make crude bombs and target Bretonian establishments. If you can arrange for a supply drop, I can persuade them to see us in a better light. There is also the possibility for overt cooperation if you deem these insurgents worth guaranteeing the independence of. If you choose to do so, I am prepared to properly identify myself and act as our liasion to them. It is likely that the communists will attempt to sway them if we do not.

Any land the rebels manage to liberate could serve as a future staging ground. And I'm sure that with the right line of rhetoric, they'll learn to remain eternally grateful to their generous benefactors in the Enclave. One way or another.
