It was 48th day on Charente. Lauren La'Row has decided to replenish her missing crew with a special gift from Voilé cell in Tau-44 where should be the crew of -lost- Battleship Embrun. Its fate was unfortunate at best, yet they proved to be loyal until the end, as they after all demonstrated in Drake system where in desperate run they attempted to ram one of the Wild bases. It was a perfect plan if La'Row wanted to have absolute control over her ship, as she wouldn't have to deal with mutiny or unrest after the true plan was revealed.
Charente was passing by Perpignan wreck, it was a reminder of the huge battle between Royalists and Republicans. She liked it, after all she participated in this battle over the Roussillon system from which Royalists emerged victorious. Lauren closed her eyes and memories of that day appeared in the darkness, it was exactly how she remembered it. Montmorency battering her way through Council forces to Perpignan which stood no chance in the range of Montmorency's point weapons. When she opened her eyes, they were right in front of the minefield entrance. All she did was a brief nod and course was set to hostile space, Tau-44.
23:59 - Tau-44
Charente has arrived. It was covered by Sumatra cloud and it seemed their arrival was undetected by local Crayterian, IMG or Natio's patrols. The course was set to Charlie-Seven where one of the Aoi bases located, Shonan. There should be the crew for her pride, a big step in the evolution, yet one of many to be made. Lauren ordered her crew to take it around planet Mindanao as it possed the danger in form of radiation emitted from Uranium deposits on the surface. It was the detail she had to enforce in her order because strong radiation was the last thing she wanted to go through. Two hours later they arrived to Charlie-Seven and Charente moved closer to now revealed Shonan base. An order of two freighters departing to Shonan was issued with the purpose of bringing new reinforcements. Lauren was careful, she expected some members of her unaffected crew to attempt to do something dumb when they were replenishing new forces. For this sole reason her "Elite" guard consisting of Voilé agents, was holding critical points on the ship. Two skirmishes were reported between the old crew and her Guard. Armory and the hall close to the bridge.
