Her Will Be Done

[The Kingdom of Bretonia]

Carina sat quietly, assessing the information presented to her. She was always careful in choosing her words, the family more than aware of the knifes edge the crown rested upon. Rock the boat too much, and it could spell the end for them all.

Instead, it was Michelle that spoke first

I wish you had shared these concerns with me sooner, Lieutenant Commander.

Ever the military woman, O'Brian continued to refer to military rank. All field agents still retained their commission, it was said that it helped encourage the cooperation of forces in the field. Often, the reality was dictated more by mission parameters.

If you can provide me a full report on what exactly we'll be walking into, I can discuss it with Admiral Sommerville. He's determined to deal with the threat, but I'm confident we'll be able to come up with a solution.

This time, Prince James spoke up

It was my understanding that our relations with the Empire were warming? You suspect an invasion from them? Or perhaps a renewed effort from Gallia? I hope you understand that we cannot involve ourselves in the politics of the house..

The smallest look from Carina. Her face gave nothing away, but it was enough to quiet James

Director, the Prince is right. We cannot involve in the politics of the Kingdom. I'm afraid that is a minefield you must navigate yourself.

As regards Newcastle however, what I do know is that while we maintain a policy of destruction of any alien material, destroying that particular blight has proven quite the challenge. You have a solution?
