SUBJECT: Operational Update

Bonsoir, messieurs et madames.

This is Commandant Charles Maret aboard Royal Warship Berry, providing a routine operational update for field records.

Under Rear Admiral Savatier, Rocroi, Berry and the remainder of her entourage departed Burgundy for Dauphine. While I was given a very loose option of remaining in Burgundy to oversee that front, in the unlikely event we are discovered Berry would not survive. As such, mobilization with Rear Admiral Savatier was without question, though it does appear to go over your orders as laid down before a month prior. Should the order have changed within that time, I was not aware, and will continue to follow the Rear Admiral's command in the field.

If command can relay any further orders to me, my men, or Berry in particular, we will await to receive. Otherwise, I will trust the Rear Admiral's judgement and experience.
Perhaps for once this ship may actually see proper combat.

Merci pour votre temps.

Charles Maret
Commandant
Enclave Royale, Battleship Berry
