ALCON,

Agent Bernard Couton reporting abord the Sexarboricus for my first sortie.

Mission parameters were as follows :

- Retrieved a shipment of Saké(1) for study at our labs in Blois, Orléanais. Point of distribution identified was Port-Franc 6 in Gers. No resistance encountered, no questions asked.
- Upon delivery of the Saké to Blois, picked up a shipment of actual wine which was delivered back to Port-Franc 6 in an effort to recruit local sources and strengthen HUMINT network among the Zoneurs. This will take time but my contact seemed receptive.

- During transit, linked up with Duke V which was investigating two contacts broadcasting Molly IFF with matching identification. Proprietary trigram : RPA. First contact to my knowledge.
-> Contact established with positive results. Neutral to friendly. Open to further discussion. Parted amicably.
-> Contact claimed needing to check back with their headquarters. Suggests a degree of organisation and understanding of hierarchy. Notable, for Mollys.

Annexes :
- Encountered a seemingly automated fighter unit, callsign "4D-ExSL-AI". Harmless. Reported actively working for the Marine Gauloise. Keep in check for possible spy.
- Encountered various merchant vessels and Freelancers during transit. Interactions classified as professional and courteous. NSP.
- Promising signs of commercial activity along the AuTauroute. Recommend keeping up patrols to maintain SLOC(2) open and safe. Money to be made here, let's not waste it.

(1) Saké is what Kusarians try to pass for wine. Fermented rice. Laughable but it's an important part of their export and they might be tempted to cut in on our markets. I deem this risk to be moderate in regards to economic intelligence, seeing as it's expensive piss from firsthand experience. Waiting to hear from the sociology labs at Blois for an expert opinion.
(2) Space Line of Communication, although I shouldn't have to explain this in an official intelligence report. Read a book.

Fin du rapport. Not exactly Guerre et Paix, but you get what you pay for, boss. Where has all the budget gone?
Couton, terminé.
