Two Admirals' Meeting

[Val]

Vaillant rubbed his chin and thought for several seconds before finally reacting.

"Triomphant-class you say? Most intriguing and especially surprising. The ships of this class were supposed to stay in the Core systems of Gallia as their very old design did not allow them to face even the weakest of the former Council's warships. Saumur was a good example, I believe you know this pretty much since your task before the fall of Kingdom was to defend our Home. I believe its surrendering now benefits us nowadays as the warship seems to perform in its new task of guarding Zurich from small criminal elements.

The presence of such warship on the frontlines can be easily explained by the fact the Crown abandoned the strategy of the 'defense in depth' when the blitz on New London was ordered which had as consequence to deploy much more warships to the frontline. The Marmande seems to be one of them. However, I never heard of it before, nor its Capitaine."

Pierre made a brief pause and looked again at the 3D-hologram.

"And so Amiral, you're telling me this ship went rogue and is now in the nature without having any idea of its precise location?"
