Well it was quite a day. Where to start - I was in Languedoc on the usual patrol route near Quillan when I stumbled upon Lieutenant Lecuyer and Colonel Loup. Quillan long-range scanners have shown several unknown contacts in Dauphine, so they were on their way to investigate. Immediately after emerging from the wormhole, our scanners have shown several contacts near Grenoble - 2 Order fighter class vessels and a Maquis designated gunship under the name of LVX|Cagliostro. We engaged them in conversation, and found out that the Order ships seemed to be a bit confused about their whereabouts. The Maquis gunboat was definately more interesting. They revealed to us that they are "guests of the Maquis here.. exiled from New Paris by our 'King'". Further conversation revealed that they are members of the ancient Freemasons society [color=#888888](recommend further intel / dialogue on the new guests of our hot-headed brethren // flying under LVX| flags //)
Furthermore, we were being taunted this entire time by a Naval pilot under the name of Horatio Aldabaran. Immediately after our arrival in Dauphine, several system-wide messages were broadcasted from his vessel with the obvious intention of interrupting our business in the area. The pilot obviously forgot to switch his comm channel when he encountered a Sirian. This made us rush to assist to planet Vienne, where we found that the said pilot was commanding a gunboat. After he retreated to Embrun's turrets, we moved away to continue in our dealings with the Maquis. But commander Aldabaran obviously didn't have enough and so we returned to deal with him harassing Sirians in the system. Suffice to say, he was not much of a challenge.

We set our course to Burgundy to dock. As we reached Macon Base, we decided to make a final patrol through the system. We have encountered 2 GRN designated ships claiming to be the King's Musketeers. // KM| flag // After a brief talk we found out they are protectors of the royal family claiming to be "best of the fighters in Gallia". They spoke well and with honor, and our Maquis companions have seen enough bloodshed and debris in one evening. We proceeded to Macon to dock and get our well-earned rest.
Further transcripts of the messages broadcasted and noted on this patrol can be requested from Colonel Loup, Lieutenant Lecuyer and myself, if needed.
