SUBJECT: «Iron Brawler»

Bonsoir, officiers,

Today's events are of interest. While heading to a meeting with a contact on Toulon, I encountered a Sirian flying with the callsign of «Iron Brawler». He flew what appeared to be a frigate, and claimed to be from Liberty, a claim corroborated by his bearing valid civilian Libertonian identification papers. However, his IFF indicated an affiliation with the Xenos — a proscribed terrorist group. Upon inquiry, the suspect identified himself solely as «William». I sent a signal to the GNS Cathubodua, a Navy gunboat, requesting for aid. In the meantime, I stalled the suspect by superficially pretending to oblige his various requests. He was particularly interested in the whereabouts of one «Vatan», allegedly a capital ship of Gallic origin captained by one «Lucas Gerald». The suspect was also carrying a large amount of surplus military-grade light arms in his vessel's hold — a proscribed commodity within Gallia when carried without a license.

Once the Cathubodua arrived, I informed «William» that he was under arrest on charges of affiliating with a proscribed terrorist group and unlicensed transportation of military armaments. Suspect complied with my demand to lower his shields in preparation for a marine team from the Cathubodua to board his vessel in order to take him into custody for interrogation. However, the suspect seemed supremely unperturbed by this course of events, and continued to interrogate me over comms regarding Capitaine Gerald, even up until the point of the boarding team breaching the Iron Brawler's bridge.

However, most unfortunately, it was at that exact moment that the capitaine of the Cathubodua received an urgent distress call from a civilian vessel claiming to be under fire from Maquis terrorists along the shipping lanes of Languedoc, and was forced to recall their boarding team in the case of their being required to assist civilians at the scene of the terrorism incident. With the suspect continuing to be fanatically fixated on interrogating me about the Vatan, and as such, uncooperative, I sent a request to Melun for backup, which shortly arrived in the form of «Owl-2» and «Chevalier de Lorraine» — an HM-series «Courbe» with a malfunctioning IFF transponder equipped with standard civilian equipment. The latter silently lent us its aid as we chased the suspect down the lanes to Planète New Paris. Unfortunately, he escaped our clutches through cleverly-timed hacking of the trade lane system. At this point, Owl-2 put in for refueling at Compiegne.

The pilot of the Chevalier then spoke their first words, inquiring whether I supported the Union or the King. Naturally, I responded that I support Gallia. At this time, a lone Royalist named «Jean Bordeaux» appeared from the Vincennes and we engaged in some rather boring and trite conversation.

Further details about this encounter will likely be present in the Marechal's report, but are here redacted for security classification reasons. A redacted audio transcription of events will be attached to this transmission.

[18.03.750 22:40:56] GNI/-'Trident': Your ship.
[18.03.750 22:41:12] GNI/-'Trident': Tell me about it.
[18.03.750 22:41:15] GNI/-'Trident': What model is that?
[18.03.750 22:41:27] Iron.Brawler: It's a Scarab
[18.03.750 22:41:41] GNI/-'Trident': What is its technical designation? Who builds it?
[18.03.750 22:42:14] Iron.Brawler: I dunno, some inter-house company
[18.03.750 22:42:21] Iron.Brawler: I think it's called Ceres
[18.03.750 22:42:22] GNI/-'Trident': Hmm, interessant.
[18.03.750 22:42:32] GNI/-'Trident': It looks to be quite a capable vessel.
[18.03.750 22:43:07] Iron.Brawler: Speaking of ships, I came around Gallia to see if I have the chance of speaking with some Gallic Navy representative
[18.03.750 22:43:27] GNI/-'Trident': I must inform you that I do not work for the Navy, but for the Gallic National Intelligence.
[18.03.750 22:43:52] Iron.Brawler: Even better
[18.03.750 22:44:14] Iron.Brawler: The GNI may have more answers
[18.03.750 22:44:39] GNI/-'Trident': What answers do you seek, monsieur?
[18.03.750 22:44:45] Iron.Brawler: Vatan
[18.03.750 22:44:50] Iron.Brawler: Does that ring a bell?
[18.03.750 22:45:00] GNI/-'Trident': Perhaps. I may need to know who is asking.
[18.03.750 22:45:35] Iron.Brawler: I have no affiliation with any group, I'm just me
[18.03.750 22:46:05] GNI/-'Trident': Do you have a name, monsieur?
[18.03.750 22:46:19] Iron.Brawler: William, and yeah I'm from Liberty
[18.03.750 22:47:05] GNI/-'Trident': William, a fine name. Do you have a surname?
[18.03.750 22:48:14] GNI/-'Trident': Bonjour, capitaine.
[18.03.750 22:48:16] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: This is patrol boat Cathubodua.
[18.03.750 22:48:23] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: We've arrived to investigate this "occurance".
[18.03.750 22:49:07] Iron.Brawler: I likely did at some point
[18.03.750 22:49:12] GNI/-'Trident': We're merely talking... for now.
[18.03.750 22:50:19] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: We've taken scans.
[18.03.750 22:50:22] Iron.Brawler: What can you tell me about it?
[18.03.750 22:50:40] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: You, monsieur.
[18.03.750 22:50:43] GNI/-'Trident': Monsieur William from Liberty, I regret to inform you that you are under arrest.
[18.03.750 22:50:52] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: First. Have cargohold full of arms, without an license..
[18.03.750 22:50:59] Iron.Brawler: What's the charge?
[18.03.750 22:51:02] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Second you have a Xeno IFF. Terrorist.
[18.03.750 22:51:12] GNI/-'Trident': Contraband and affiliation with a known terrorist group.
[18.03.750 22:51:22] Iron.Brawler: I am not affiliated with the Xenos
[18.03.750 22:51:33] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Your ID is Freelancer, but IFF Xeno.
[18.03.750 22:51:37] GNI/-'Trident': Then you should change your IFF.
[18.03.750 22:51:38] Iron.Brawler: And I had no idea I required a license to deliver light arms to Battleship Dax
[18.03.750 22:51:40] GNI/-'Trident': Your IFF is not a toy.
[18.03.750 22:51:57] Iron.Brawler: *chuckles* You're not the first one to tell me that
[18.03.750 22:52:00] GNI/-'Trident': All forms of munitions require a license to distribute or even possess in such quantities within Gallia.
[18.03.750 22:52:02] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: You indeed need license.
[18.03.750 22:52:12] Iron.Brawler: The truth is, I tried fixing it a plethora of times without success
[18.03.750 22:52:23] Iron.Brawler: It just doesn't work, it's beyond my control
[18.03.750 22:52:33] GNI/-'Trident': I believe that Sirian ship consoles possess a simple command for this -- enter "/droprep" in your terminal.
[18.03.750 22:52:36] Iron.Brawler: I'm willing to deliver this guns to Dax under your escort
[18.03.750 22:52:49] Iron.Brawler: If I do that, you won't like what you'll see either
[18.03.750 22:53:02] GNI/-'Trident': Monsieur, you have dug yourself into an even deeper hole.
[18.03.750 22:53:13] GNI/-'Trident': You are to lower your shields and prepare to be boarded.
[18.03.750 22:53:21] GNI/-'Trident': Your vessel is to be impounded and you will be taken in for an interview.
[18.03.750 22:53:22] Iron.Brawler: As I said earlier, I'm here only looking for answers, agent Trident
[18.03.750 22:53:28] Iron.Brawler: I am not hiding nor running away
[18.03.750 22:53:38] GNI/-'Trident': I'm glad you are cooperating.
[18.03.750 22:53:41] GNI/-'Trident': Now please, lower your shields.
[18.03.750 22:53:54] Iron.Brawler: Will you answer my question first?
[18.03.750 22:54:24] GNI/-'Trident': William, I don't believe you're understanding the situation.
[18.03.750 22:54:37] GNI/-'Trident': You are, as of just a moment ago, officially under arrest.
[18.03.750 22:54:42] GNI/-'Trident': It is we who will be asking the questions now.
[18.03.750 22:54:54] Iron.Brawler: I understand that, but I'm not letting you destroy my ship
[18.03.750 22:55:01] GNI/-'Trident': We have no intentions to destroy your ship.
[18.03.750 22:55:08] GNI/-'Trident': It will be impounded while you are undergoing interviews.
[18.03.750 22:55:15] Iron.Brawler: Then there's no need to lower my shields, I'll lower them when I moor
[18.03.750 22:55:26] GNI/-'Trident': No, you are to lower them now. We will board your ship and take you into custody.
[18.03.750 22:55:32] GNI/-'Trident': We will send a team to retrieve your ship.
[18.03.750 22:56:02] GNI/-'Trident': You have thirty seconds to comply. This is a lawful order, monsieur.
[18.03.750 22:56:03] Iron.Brawler: It'll be much easier if you escort me to whatever station I'm supposed to go, agent Trident
[18.03.750 22:56:18] Iron.Brawler: You do not have the required crew to perform such operation right now
[18.03.750 22:56:29] Iron.Brawler: Fine, surprise me then
[18.03.750 22:56:30] GNI/-'Trident': There are two ways this goes. The easy way -- which I have already elaborated to you; and the hard hard way -- which you can guess.
[18.03.750 22:56:37] GNI/-'Trident': Will. You. Comply?
[18.03.750 22:56:45] Iron.Brawler: Shields disabled
[18.03.750 22:57:36] GNI/-'Trident': Capitaine, will you send some of your crew aboard to apprehend him?
[18.03.750 22:58:10] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Understood, preparing our... security teams.
[18.03.750 22:58:57] Iron.Brawler: So I assume that Vatan does ring a bell?
[18.03.750 22:59:16] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: This is Cathubodua's security officer. We're sending the team now. Iron Brawler, we request you comply.
[18.03.750 22:59:21] GNI/-'Trident': Oui. It is a canton in the Indre department of Orleans.
[18.03.750 22:59:35] GNI/-'Trident': That is the only significance of the name.
[18.03.750 22:59:45] Iron.Brawler: That's not what I was referring to, obviously...
[18.03.750 22:59:53] GNS-Cathubodua: SRO: This is security team alpha, we're onboard. No sign of any hostile intentions.
[18.03.750 23:00:04] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Capitaine, I request you comply with Alpha.
[18.03.750 23:00:10] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Agent, are we clear to proceed?
[18.03.750 23:00:15] GNI/-'Trident': Yes.
[18.03.750 23:00:16] Iron.Brawler: I was speaking about the Vatan, a capital ship allegedly from Gallic origin
[18.03.750 23:00:42] Iron.Brawler: Her captain is someone named Lucas Gerald
[18.03.750 23:00:48] Iron.Brawler: I need to find that man
[18.03.750 23:01:12] GNI/-'Trident': Why do you need to find capitaine Gerald?
[18.03.750 23:01:27] Iron.Brawler: I need to ask him several questions
[18.03.750 23:01:38] GNI/-'Trident': You would do well to pose them to myself instead.
[18.03.750 23:02:00] Iron.Brawler: So you're an infiltrator as well...
[18.03.750 23:02:11] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: "Trident", we're awaiting your destination.
[18.03.750 23:02:32] GNI/-'Trident': Have your team apprehend monsieur "William" and bring him into custody aboard the Cathubodua.
[18.03.750 23:02:47] Iron.Brawler: Captain of the Cathubodua
[18.03.750 23:02:49] GNI/-'Trident': Use a coaxial cable as restraint if you must.
[18.03.750 23:02:55] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: They should be by the bridge right now.
[18.03.750 23:03:08] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Monsieur, what is it?
[18.03.750 23:03:10] Iron.Brawler: Agent Trident is potentially compromised
[18.03.750 23:03:27] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Mon dieu, what are you talking about?
[18.03.750 23:03:32] GNI/-'Trident': An accusation in a mirror, no doubt.
[18.03.750 23:03:46] Iron.Brawler: They're a nomad undercover unit
[18.03.750 23:03:57] Iron.Brawler: It's what I'm saying
[18.03.750 23:04:07] GNI/-'Trident': [The agent scoffs, their voice filter rendering the sound mechanical and uncanny.]
[18.03.750 23:04:15] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: This is some kind of.. conspiracy.
[18.03.750 23:04:20] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Trident, can we already go?
[18.03.750 23:04:24] Iron.Brawler: Agent Trident, I've spoken with Shozak
[18.03.750 23:04:31] GNI/-'Trident': Alpha is free to enter the bridge and detain him.
[18.03.750 23:04:38] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Copy that.
[18.03.750 23:04:47] Iron.Brawler: Shozak gave me his name
[18.03.750 23:04:55] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Alpha team, you're clear to detain the Captaine.
[18.03.750 23:04:58] GNI/-'Trident': Our teams will certainly have a lot of information to pull out of him.
[18.03.750 23:05:24] Iron.Brawler: Picking up something on scanners...
[18.03.750 23:06:00] GNS-Cathubodua: SRO: This is Alpha, we've got the target..
[18.03.750 23:06:08] Death: fastduck was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[18.03.750 23:06:09] GNI/-'Trident': Excellent.
[18.03.750 23:06:11] GNS-Cathubodua: SRO: Are we clear to proceed with fly path?
[18.03.750 23:06:18] Scarab-547: [The contact blips in and out of existence. Acquisition of it is difficult.]
[18.03.750 23:06:42] Scarab-547: [EM spectrum readings are off the charts in its vicinity.]
[18.03.750 23:08:43] Scarab-547: [It just... sits outside of active radar range.]
[18.03.750 23:09:14] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Trident, we're reading hightened EM readings and a ship just outside our range.
[18.03.750 23:09:24] GNI/-'Trident': Confirm, I read it as well.
[18.03.750 23:09:53] GNI/-'Trident': The Corse entertain some strange clientele here. I would not be surprised if whatever sensor-jamming technology
[18.03.750 23:09:56] Iron.Brawler: [[static]] Guess who's that...
[18.03.750 23:10:04] GNI/-'Trident': the vessel is employing is but an extreme privacy measure.
[18.03.750 23:10:15] Scarab-547: [The vessel silently moves along, not showing any signs of aggression.]
[18.03.750 23:10:21] Iron.Brawler: [[static]] There was no EM a moment ago...
[18.03.750 23:10:58] Scarab-547: *STATIC* "--ur way to the race tracks...!"
[18.03.750 23:11:54] Iron.Brawler: [[a distorted voice replies]] Scarab five four seven, who are you?
[18.03.750 23:12:04] Scarab-547: [No answer.]
[18.03.750 23:12:16] GNS-Cathubodua: SRO: This guy is still speaking through radio comms.
[18.03.750 23:12:32] Iron.Brawler: [[it insists]] I believe William has been looking for yours...
[18.03.750 23:13:35] Iron.Brawler: [[He's been rather desperate for the last months...]]
[18.03.750 23:13:48] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Trident, we've got call this off. We've got a report about Maquis attacking shipping lane and we're required there.
[18.03.750 23:13:51] Iron.Brawler: [[Yours surely are not putting it any easy.]]
[18.03.750 23:13:54] Scarab-547: [The ship proceeds on its merry way.]
[18.03.750 23:13:56] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: We need to get our security teams out.
[18.03.750 23:13:59] GNI/-'Trident': Very well. Tell Alpha to withdraw.
[18.03.750 23:14:06] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Alpha, team withdraw!
[18.03.750 23:14:06] GNI/-'Trident': L'Agencie will handle this.
[18.03.750 23:14:23] GNS-Cathubodua: SRO: We're coming back onboard.
[18.03.750 23:14:43] GNS-Cathubodua: SRO: This is Alpha, back on board.
[18.03.750 23:14:48] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Anything else you require, Agent?>
[18.03.750 23:15:02] GNI/-'Trident': Non, thank you for your assistance.
[18.03.750 23:15:12] GNS-Cathubodua: RO: Good luck.
[18.03.750 23:15:55] GNI/-'Trident': Mr. William, I am willing to overlook the charge of affiliating with a terrorist organization if you drop your cargo.
[18.03.750 23:16:33] Iron.Brawler: [[William will be absent for a while, you'll have to talk with me now.]]
[18.03.750 23:16:40] GNI/-'Trident': And whom am I speaking with?
[18.03.750 23:17:24] Iron.Brawler: [[You're speaking with Iron Brawler.]]
[18.03.750 23:17:55] Iron.Brawler: [[And I do not think I can comply with that request. Not since you seem unwilling to cooperate as well.]]
[18.03.750 23:18:08] GNI/-'Trident': Interesting indeed.
[18.03.750 23:19:01] GNI/-'Trident': As you are already under arrest...
[18.03.750 23:19:06] Iron.Brawler: [[I'm certain you can recall what he asked earlier.]]
[18.03.750 23:19:27] Iron.Brawler: [[Interesting concept, can you even arrest a machine?]]
[18.03.750 23:19:44] GNI/-'Trident': Quite a philosophical question.
[18.03.750 23:19:48] GNI/-'Trident': I know that I can destroy one, however.
[18.03.750 23:20:04] Iron.Brawler: [[I'd say it's more of a legalese inquiry.]]
[18.03.750 23:20:25] Iron.Brawler: [[William is still onboard.]]
[18.03.750 23:20:29] GNI/-'Trident': Legalese? Here, in Provence?
[18.03.750 23:20:32] GNI/-'Trident': [Another uncanny scoff.]
[18.03.750 23:20:52] Iron.Brawler: [[Do you represent the Corsican interests?]]
[18.03.750 23:20:57] GNI/-'Trident': I represent Gallia's interests.
[18.03.750 23:21:17] Iron.Brawler: [[Therefore, you're enforcing Gallic law.]]
[18.03.750 23:21:25] GNI/-'Trident': Permitting figures such as yourself to reside within L'Unione is, as you Libertonians say, "not it".
[18.03.750 23:21:48] GNI/-'Trident': Your lack of cooperation has left me with no choice.
[18.03.750 23:22:12] Iron.Brawler: [[And you seem not much concerned about alien life-forms going through Provence.]]
[18.03.750 23:22:41] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: [The ship closes in, quietly. Without any sign of communication.]
[18.03.750 23:23:14] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: [The target lock was engaged upon the Iron Brawler. The systems powering up. It was closing in.]
[18.03.750 23:24:31] GNI/-Owl-2: You're not getting out.
[18.03.750 23:24:39] GNI/-Owl-2: Engaging target.
[18.03.750 23:24:40] GNI/-'Trident': Owl 2, excellent timing.
[18.03.750 23:25:24] GNI/-Owl-2: Chase it!
[18.03.750 23:26:13] GNI/-Owl-2: You're just going to die; accept a quicker death
[18.03.750 23:26:56] Iron.Brawler: *a system wide broadcast of classic heavy metal can be heard*
[18.03.750 23:27:10] GNI/-'Trident': Merde...
[18.03.750 23:27:16] GNI/-'Trident': Chevalier, who are you?
[18.03.750 23:27:35] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "A friend."
[18.03.750 23:27:39] GNI/-'Trident': I can see that.
[18.03.750 23:27:42] GNI/-'Trident': Your assistance is appreciated.
[18.03.750 23:29:43] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "Remember Lorraine. Remember what we lost. Never forget."
[18.03.750 23:29:53] GNI/-'Trident': I could not agree more.
[18.03.750 23:29:58] GNI/-'Trident': We have lost much, but never again.
[18.03.750 23:31:06] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "L'Union ou les Roi?"
[18.03.750 23:32:00] GNI/-'Trident': Gallia. Dans tous les cas.
[18.03.750 23:32:51] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: Vive la Gallia.
[18.03.750 23:33:08] GNI/-'Trident': Vive le Gallia, camarade.
[18.03.750 23:33:34] Jean,Bordeaux: Viva la Gallia
[18.03.750 23:34:07] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "Bonjour, Roi."
[18.03.750 23:34:13] GNI/-'Trident': What incredibly auspicious timing.
[18.03.750 23:35:21] GNI/-'Trident': Bordeaux, what is your rank?
[18.03.750 23:35:36] Jean,Bordeaux: What does it matter, now?
[18.03.750 23:35:46] GNI/-'Trident': Call it a passing curiosity.
[18.03.750 23:36:10] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "A lill' bit dangerous, no? Flashing le flag de roi."
[18.03.750 23:36:36] Jean,Bordeaux: Enseigne.
[18.03.750 23:37:09] GNI/-'Trident': Une fanatique veritable.
[18.03.750 23:37:34] GNI/-'Trident': To have rejected the amnesty as a mere enseigne.
[18.03.750 23:38:58] Jean,Bordeaux: Rank does not change good will to ill for the people of Royal Gallia
[18.03.750 23:39:28] Jean,Bordeaux: I could not give up our nacion for petty rewards
[18.03.750 23:39:34] GNI/-'Trident': What is it you want, enseigne Bordeaux?
[18.03.750 23:39:42] GNI/-'Trident': Are you here spoiling for a fight?
[18.03.750 23:39:51] Jean,Bordeaux: You tell me
[18.03.750 23:40:32] GNI/-'Trident': Feeling jocular today, are we.
[18.03.750 23:40:44] GNI/-'Trident': Fortunately or unfortunately for you, I have a report to write.
[18.03.750 23:40:58] Jean,Bordeaux: If I was looking for... this so plain I would have lingered where I was before....
[18.03.750 23:41:15] GNI/-'Trident': You seek to make my report longer, then.
[18.03.750 23:41:50] Jean,Bordeaux: No.. if you have any rampant treasonous tendencies towards our King, work them out now!
[18.03.750 23:42:09] Jean,Bordeaux: And we will duel to the finest man.
[18.03.750 23:42:18] Scarab-547: "I've forgotten.
[18.03.750 23:42:22] Jean,Bordeaux: But if you do not!
[18.03.750 23:42:27] Jean,Bordeaux: Then remain.
[18.03.750 23:43:07] GNI/-'Trident': I notice you provide no course of action which involves me immediately leaving and compiling my report.
[18.03.750 23:45:04] Jean,Bordeaux: Touche.
[18.03.750 23:45:08] GNI/-'Trident': Regardless of political convictions, I believe enough good Gauls have died at each others' hands.
[18.03.750 23:45:39] Scarab-547: "A reasonable and moral assertion, Agent." [The voice is distorted and garbled.]
[18.03.750 23:46:08] GNI/-'Trident': [The agent's voice, too, is passed through a filter, and any distinguishing characteristics are hard to pick out.]
[18.03.750 23:47:09] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "Oui Oui. 'owever, t'ere are still alot w'o t'ink ot'erwise."
[18.03.750 23:47:36] Jean,Bordeaux: My.. the Union is poorer than I thought. Can not even install proper communication sets in their agents ships
[18.03.750 23:47:44] GNI/-'Trident': It is intentional, enseigne.
[18.03.750 23:47:57] Jean,Bordeaux: Mmm. Unsure
[18.03.750 23:48:05] GNI/-'Trident': It is an attempt to ensure anonymity on my part.
[18.03.750 23:49:10] Jean,Bordeaux: Name, Agent?
[18.03.750 23:49:24] GNI/-'Trident': That would defeat the purpose of anonymity-preserving measures.
[18.03.750 23:49:37] Jean,Bordeaux: It would also be slightly amusing
[18.03.750 23:49:48] GNI/-'Trident': "Agent", "Trident", or "Agent Trident" are all acceptable.
[18.03.750 23:50:16] Jean,Bordeaux: Monsieur?
[18.03.750 23:50:34] GNI/-'Trident': If it pleases you.
[18.03.750 23:50:56] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "The Roi and the Agent seem to become friends here. Hah."
[18.03.750 23:51:01] Scarab-547: "Agent Trident."
[18.03.750 23:51:07] GNI/-'Trident': Yes?
[18.03.750 23:51:08] Scarab-547: "Enchantee."
[18.03.750 23:51:56] Scarab-547: "Now, I do have a message to pass on."
[18.03.750 23:52:05] Scarab-547: "If you will allow me the privilege of your private comms."
[18.03.750 23:52:19] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "And here I thought there was something interesting."
[18.03.750 23:52:21] GNI/-'Trident': [SECURE COMM-LINK ESTABLISHED]
[18.03.750 23:52:35] Scarab-547: [CONFIRMED.] "Testing. Testing."
[18.03.750 23:52:59] GNI/-'Trident': Solid copy.
[18.03.750 23:53:06] GNI/-'Trident': What do you need?
[18.03.750 23:53:55] Scarab-547: "Your Marechal is expecting a dignitary. I am that dignitary."
[18.03.750 23:53:57] Jean,Bordeaux: It is private enough here.
[18.03.750 23:54:06] Jean,Bordeaux: We won't tell anyone
[18.03.750 23:54:08] Scarab-547: "Is it, mon ami?"
[18.03.750 23:54:16] Scarab-547: "I do not kiss and tell, you know."
[18.03.750 23:54:27] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "I do."
[18.03.750 23:54:53] GNI/-'Trident': Right. The Marechal has been informed.
[18.03.750 23:54:59] Scarab-547: "D'accord."
[18.03.750 23:55:03] GNI/-'Trident': Please stand by.
[18.03.750 23:55:21] GNI/-'Trident': The Bretonians have a saying. One quite traditional to their culture as I understand it.
[18.03.750 23:55:25] GNI/-'Trident': "Loose lips sink ships."
[18.03.750 23:55:46] Jean,Bordeaux: Ugh. Don't mention them again.
[18.03.750 23:56:32] GNI/-'Trident': Surely as a soldier-- ah, perhaps not.
[18.03.750 23:56:40] Jean,Bordeaux: Chevalier. Scarab
[18.03.750 23:57:09] Jean,Bordeaux: You have spoken quite little. What exactly are your affiliations?
[18.03.750 23:57:24] Scarab-547: "A simple civilian, my friend."
[18.03.750 23:57:38] Chevalier.de.Lorraine: "A warrior for what is right."
[18.03.750 23:57:43] Scarab-547: "I am a, how you say... Freelancer."
[18.03.750 23:58:37] Jean,Bordeaux: A Royalist, then, Monsieur?
[18.03.750 23:58:54] Scarab-547: "I... suppose? Things were decent under the Crown."
[18.03.750 23:59:26] Jean,Bordeaux: Chevalier.
[18.03.750 23:59:40] Scarab-547: "I will guess Chevalier is one, judging by the name."
[19.03.750 00:00:49] Jean,Bordeaux: Mmm.
[19.03.750 00:00:50] GNI/-'Trident': Ah, Saint Amant.
[19.03.750 00:01:05] GNI/-GNIS-Saint.Amant: CIC: Bonjour. All GNI agents, salute - flag officer on board.
[19.03.750 00:01:05][FURTHER INFORMATION REDACTED]

Key takeaways:
• «Iron Brawler» a Sirian «Scarab»-class frigate, owned and operated solely by a Libertonian named «William».
• «William» has an obsession with a Gallic warship called «Vatan», allegedly captained by «Lucas Gerald».
• «William» is either tech-illiterate or extremely tech-savvy. He seems seems to harbor an advanced AI onboard his ship's systems.
• This AI claims its name to be «Iron Brawler», matching the name of the ship.
• «William» has a keen sense of timing and is very evasive.
• «Jean Bordeaux» is a Royalist remnant who seems to operate within Gallia and may be amenable to cutting deals.
• «Chevalier de Lorraine» is an associate of the Marechal's contact within [REDACTED].
• «Chevalier de Lorraine» is likely to either harbor Royalist sympathies or else be keenly analytical.
• «Chevalier de Lorraine» may be a useful asset for mercenary work or intelligence gathering.
• [REDACTED] agents are assessed as likely to be useful for intelligence gathering.
• [REDACTED] agents are assessed as likely to be cooperative so long as we ignore their plausibly-deniable activities.
