The Order of the Lion

[Athenian]

Battleship Derby

Three "Hip-hips" and a succession of "Huzzahs" for the blue-bloods brave enough to bypass the borders and bring Bretonian bravado to bear on the bold and over-brawny brimstone-smelling bollock-lacking Cretan deficients.

I can honestly say in all my time patrolling Her Majety's fair demesne that I and many other chaps among the washed classes have found cause to find ourselves champing at the bit to strike as deep against the confounded Corsair as a randy Vicar. They must be stabbed at in their horrible hidey-hole. And now some plucky chaps have sought to do so in the name of chivalry, honour, vengeance and, most-importantly, good etiquette.

Having seen these perilsome pirates persist in their pernicious patrols into our heartland, I give this the official Brinkley seal of approval. Have at them, chaps. Have at them all. Remember the fate of Isaac Brock. Remember the assaults on New London orbit. Remember the pirate King Gentle defecating into the orbit of our fair planets.

We have long memories here in Bretonia. We shall fight them on the Line, we shall fight them in the mine-fields, we shall fight them in the deep Omicrons, we shall never surrender!

Of course, my dicky heart means such a venture may be too bold for me to consider, but I will sponsor any young fellow-me-lad willing to throw in his lot and bring justice's sharp sword to bear on their bare bottoms!

Lord Commodore Roger Brinkley, CC
