This is the audio log of sous-Lieutenant Salomon Christophe, chief officer aboard the [color=#33FF33]RNS-Charlemagne. Today's patrol has little to note, so I will be brief. A Molly cruiser by the name of Dun.an.Oir was spotted in the Dundee system heading to Edinburgh. I began pursuit and followed him through the Edinburgh system until he, as asked, left the system into Dublin. As I said, little to note, but necessary to report. Video Data of hostile included. For the King and Gallia, we fight. End audio log.

SUMMARY OF REPORT
Identification and non-hostile interaction with Dun.an.Oir (Molly Cruiser)
Location: Edinburgh
This is the audio log of sous-Lieutenant Salomon Christophe, chief officer aboard the [color=#33FF33]RNS-Charlemagne. Today's patrol was marked by two key events.
1). While stationed in the Edinburgh system, a hostile by the name of Eric was sighted. Upon scanning the hostile, it was realized that he was a member of the Bretonian Intelligence Service. Quickly after this realization two other targets showed up on scanners. They were two Corsairs claiming to be the real Benitez family. Their names were Benitez(CT)-Hermes and Benitez(CT)-Nereides, supposedly transport vessels working for some powerful Hispania group. In the end, they were much more concerned with whatever secrets this Bretonian had discovered. Very secretive they were, but very cooperative, they left the system as asked...odd bunch they were. Video data of the encounter has been included. It should be noted that no sensitive Gallic data was obtained by the Bretonian spy, though he is still at large.
2). The second event occured much later in my patrols in the system of Tau-23. A freelancer working for the BAF by the name of Tiberius_Price was engaged by the Charlemagne. I dealt with him as required and the video data of his death has been included in my full report. One less Bretonian... For the King and Gallia, we fight. End audio log.

REPORT SUMMARY
First Event: Non-Hostile Encounter with Benitez(CT)-Nereides (Transport), Benitez(CT)-Hermes (Transport), and Eric (Light Fighter)
Location: Edinburgh
Second Event: Destruction of Tiberius_Price (Bretonian Gunboat)
Location: Tau-23
This is the audio log of sous-Lieutenant Salomon Christophe assigned to patrols in the Tau-23 system. Today marked a very odd event that requires a full mission report due to its nature. I would like to start by saying that I have had nothing but good relations with the Independent Miners Guild that patrol within Tau-23. Today was an exception to that rule. During my patrol I passed by Java station and was headed to Tau-44 to rendezvous with our Battleship in that system, but I came across a potentially hostile target by the name of [color=#FF0000][BH]Storm. As it turned out, he was hostile...very hostile...for little reason. As soon as he was within 4k he stated, and I quote, "engaging" and then began attacking. I made short work of him, but this wasn't the odd part, as Bounty Hunters are often hostile towards GRN. The odd part was when the [IMG]-Hammer got involved in the engagement. The captain stated he was engaging, but I assumed it was the hostile Bounty Hunter. As I took a direct hit from the Hammer's primary turrets, I realized he was not on my side. I managed to talk him down, and he ceased hostilities. As this was occuring, another IMG by the name of smallminor engaged me. I took down his shields quickly and demanded he cease fire. He listened, fortunately, but this engagement showed me that not all IMG are cooperative to the GRN cause. It should be noted that the Hammer and smallminor are not friends to GRN and should be treated with suspicion at the least. Video data has not been included due to temporary technical difficulties. For the King and for Gallia, we fight. End audio log.

Attention.
Following an EMP attack on the Eglantine, we have lost all contact with Princess Alice DeFrance and the battleship Normandie. Any ships in range are to proceed to Tau-23 and search for survivors immediately.
Find the Princess. Alive.
Anything else is unacceptable.
Get to it soldiers.
For the King.

I was on a patrol of Tau-23 with Sous Lieutenant Jean-Claude Delacourt. It was mostly quiet - only noticed a transport-class vessel passing through - until an Outcast bomber named ADS_Odkundes showed up. We promptly intercepted it near the Orkney jumphole, and pursued it into Orkney, where it proceeded to flee into an asteroid field. Unfortunately, neither Jean-Claude nor I had a cruise disruptor on our fighters, but we maintained the pursuit. The Outcast then proceeded to a previously unknown and apparently hidden base in that asteroid field and docked. The base fired upon us, but it didn't cause much more than minor shield damage. I'm sending an image of that base with this transmission.
I would recommend that this base, despite being minor, be dealt with in the near future - a few wings of bombers or a marine assault should be able to destroy or capture it quite easily.

Subject : After a Long time...
Its been days since I have filled my report and being an Marcheal in RLF means almost no action. I got my piece of action finally. I was just moving to do my regular works in the Capital in my Roubaix when I seemed to receive a Distress call from Lucas Gerald, the GRP Director. It seems that a redemption was attempting to re-capture something. But I rather felt to shot it down rather than questioning about his intentions.
I was successful at commanding my ship to victory. I hope this will be the proof I can still be stationed at the front lines.
This is the audio log of Captaine Salomon Christophe of the [color=#33FF33]RNS Charlemagne. Today was marked by a rescue mission into the Dundee system. I was on patrol with Quentin Bouvier and a cruiser by the name of Mezzo. We recieved word from a recon group that a Battleship by the name of HMS Leeroy Jenkins had captured over 40 GRN pilots. Of course we would not leave these pilots to their fate, and jumped to the Dundee system to begin our rescue attempt. This attempt failed, but at a great loss to the Bretonians. As we closed on the Leeroy Jenkins, another ship showed up on our short range scanners. This new person of interest was an Outcast cruiser by the name of MNS Jorge Mendez. The Outcast, when in range, began opening fire on our small fleet. With the help of Mezzo and Bouvier, we managed to destroy the Outcast cruiser. Video data included in full report. At this point the Leeroy Jenkins had transferred the prisoners to the Stirling, and we failed. I will not forgive myself for this loss, and I will not soon forget this travesty to our pilots. We did not leave upon failing our rescue attempt. We engaged the Leeroy Jenkins so that he may never commit such an act again. The Valor Battleship of Gallia proves superior to the Dunkirk of Bretonia, and this was no exception. The Leeroy Jenkins was destroyed, but at a great expense to my own ship. Another ship by the name of HMS Bristol had gotten involved also at this point. Unfortunately we suffered a great loss as he destroyed the crippled Charlemagne. May the lives of the crew rest in peace, for they died serving our most noble king. I was fortunate enough to make it to an escape pod. Bouvier tractored me into his hold, but he was far from safe at this point. Bouvier showed excellent piloting prowess as he evaded the Bristol and a Bretonian gunboat whos name I can not recall. With the help of a recon pilot by the name of Stavros Mueller, we managed to make it to Edinburgh, where the mighty RNS Roubaix was covering our retreat. This proved to be a loss for the GRN, but at a great loss to the Bretonians. I only hope I will not fail my crew again. Crown forgive me. End audio log.
