Good day to you, mister Boucher.
This is captain Lefina Elwyn, CO of the destroyer Artio and of its escort craft, the Grian - the selfsame you have encountered.
I was rather surprised to hear of the figurehead of the Maquis involving himself personally in something many would deem so 'minor' as the returning of poached, precious Gaian wildlife, and so was my pilot - but we are nevertheless glad that you have, and we are most grateful for it.
Should you chance upon any other scoundrel pilfering creatures, do let us know.
As for the pilot's claims yes, I may confirm them.
It is a long story, that of the Artio and its crew, one ill befitting an open channel such as this; suffice to say we are but recently returned to our Bretonia, to find her at once dishearteningly similar and dismally changed.
The similarities lay within our fraught relations with the enforcers and the common enemy we still share, the accursed Royalists. The changes... lie within the swathe of destruction and corruption they have left in their wake, from which Gaia has not been spared.
But I digress.
If you wish to know more of our ways and our goals, as you have mentioned to my erstwhile pilot, you are welcome to contact us privately or seek us out in space.
At this time the Artio is undergoing repairs, but it will be ready for launch soon enough - in the meantime, you may find the Grian performing recons in Edinburgh's surroundings, as it has done so far when it hasn't aided either yours or the Bretonian enforcers against the common enemy.
Until then, I bid you adieu.
Gaia's will be done, and godspeed.
Captain Lefina Elwyn, out.
