Bonjour, monsieur Maret.

Commandant, it seems you are afraid of unexpected end. I thought you were taught by life that our path may end at any moment. Despite how advanced a ship you do command, you are not protected from a random hit that may turn lethal for your ship and crew.

Your warship is not advanced at all: a Triumphant-class is a rare sign nowadays. I am wondering how such a ship was allowed to remain within the ranks of the Royal Navy for so long and suffered no general refit or upgrade to something modern.

As a captain of another, less ancient, but still a relic warship of the Charlemagne-class, I can only advise you to keep distance and use artillery at your best. Work as a secondary commanding ship, marking targets for others. Somehow Kusari and Confederal navy both prefer brutal close-range combat over artillery skirmishes.

Therefore, just follow Savatier's orders and participate in any combat he will order you to take place in. The victory shall be ours but we have to endure. Commandant Lusignan - out.
