Good day to all employees!

For those, who don't know me, my name is Paul Falkner, I hold the position of steward in Spa-SEC. It is my duty to escort our luxury and logistic vessels in style.

Also I am the "brave escort", mentioned in captain Cross' report of her Hispania Tour. As you already know, our joint voyage was tense in terms of Liner's security, but still very pleasant. The sights alone were worth the risk, and hosts were kind and caring.

Today I was contacted by our dear captain once again. What she proposed was extraordinary and promised to be one hell of adventure (as usual, I guess). Miss Cross requested my escort, as she was intending to visit former Planet Gaia. Aquitaine System is one of central systems of the Royal Enclave, thus we prepared accordingly: OS&C|Red-Velvet-Club and my Taurus shuttle were temporarily equipped with Cloaking Devices.

I was on my way to the Red-Velvet-Club, which was moored at Planet Cambridge, when I have noticed a tremendous energy spike on my sensors. And then I saw ... it ... It was so beautiful and terrifying... with all that wavy azure lines of pure light. Somehow I knew it was named Ashur, I could feel it inside my head. It was curious about me and... tried to communicate. I was astounded for a moment, but my instincts told me to push the cloak activator. I did the best I could to run away, but it was still pursuing despite the cloak. I can't remember how, but I have managed to escape.

When I arrived, Caitlyn's Liner was already in orbit. I landed on the Planet for quick resupply. It wasn't as fast as expected... Atmospheric antigrav engine wasn't working correctly, so I had hard time taking off the ground. I think the problem was caused by the energy spike, that I have mentioned earlier. Fortunately, repair team on Cambridge managed to fix the engine in reasonable time.

Finally, we began our cruise to the former natural preserve of Gaia. You can see the route of the Red-Velvet-Club in the file below:

Local ice cloud in Aquitaine helped us to discreetly enter Gaia (now Bordeaux) orbit. I chose a safe spot well out of range of royalist planetary defenses. We have hastily taken some pictures of the natural miracle of Sirius:

Strangely enough, we haven't run into any Enclave patrol in the system. All in all, I deem tours to Aquitaine feasible. With mandatory reprecautions, of course.
