After I picked up the Serval which was assigned to me from the hangar, I've been patrolling the lanes between the Beuvray and the Rocroi. I haven't encountered any problems during this patrol but I have to say... This Serval handles even better then it looks... and it looks beautiful! But i'm wandering off... forgive me.
As for the medical tests you required from me... It seems to fine, they didn't find anything that isn't supposed to be there...
It's been quite the day, when I undocked from Avallon station I ran into 2 new recruits. from the talk I had with them I conclude that they are very eager to defend Gallia. Unfortunatly my system didn't record the conversation due of an internal bug.
After they went their way I started my patrol and I didn't encounter anything until I reached Briancon Station in Dauphine. My scanners picked up a signal which appeared to be a Gallic transport. His cargo hold was clean so I allowed him to proceed.
After I completed my patrol I headed back to Dijon Station to refuel, The Incendie was already there. Just before I docked with the station an unknown target appeared on my scanner, I concluded it was a VHF and at first I didn't notice anything suspicious. I was about to let him pass when Commandant Ciel mentioned Council weapons. And indeed, as I checked again I also noticed them... The Commandant allowed him to pass, but demanded that he would get rid of those council weapons as soon as possible.
After about 20 minutes the same fighter arrived again, and he did as the Commandant told him to, he got rid of the weapons.
I assisted Hector Godard on patrol along with Patapon, as Commandant Ciel ordered me to. We patrolled lane and space all the way to Montbard Base but we didn't encounter any suspicious ships... as matter of fact, we didn't encounter any ships.
After this busy day I still hadn't had the chance to test my ship in combat. And since the enemy appears to be hiding very well we decided to switch our systems to Simulation mode so we could have some practice. It was going quite well to be honest, I just love this Serval!
After the first fight with Patapon he docked to have his guns changed, he wanted a rematch with a complete different loadout.
I also had a simulation fight with Pauline Valence... I have to say I was impressed! I can only hope I will become that good some day.

Bonjour,
After my departure from Dijon and meeting up with Madame Mimieux, the Incendie and some members of the secondary fleet Madame Mimieux asked for a basic fight simulation. It took me some effort to get used to the Lynx seeing that I didnt fly one for a longer period of time, but I was able to end the simulation successful.
A few minutes after our simulation, a Junker vessel appeared trying to move Counterfeit software to a base with a name I somehow knew, but I was not able to remember it. Seeing that it was not included into our Nav Systems, it has to be a base of our enemies.
GRN|RNS-Incendie: Hold it junker
Melliar: ouis?
GRN|RNS-Incendie: Drop the counterfiet.
Melliar: hold a minute please
GRN|Pauline.Valence: A simple criminal... What a shame
Melliar: its not counterfeit here M'sieur
Melliar: unless you are a sirian police in disguise?
GRN|RNS-Incendie: You have an entire load sending off a red flag. We are not stupid.
Melliar: or a sirian spy?
GRN|RNS-Incendie: How dare you?!
Melliar: no, how dare you?
GRN|RNS-Incendie: ill have you know i am a Commandant in his majestys navy!
GRN|RNS-Incendie: and a member of nobility!
Melliar: you are suposed to defend gallia, this benifits it
GRN|Pauline.Valence: *sighs* Crimes benefit our state?
GRN|RNS-Incendie: *she taps her finger on the console* This had better be good.
Melliar: now, please follow my reasoning
Melliar: do you know where this is bought Messire?
GRN|RNS-Incendie: Explain to me, and this BETTER be good, how this possibly benefits us.
Melliar: a sec let me check
Melliar: montmirail base
Melliar: now , you certainement know who that belongs to?
Melliar: but the funny part comes with what i do with the money i get from them
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Montmirail?
Melliar: i buy legitimate wine or tobacco that the sirians pay a fortune for
GRN|Pauline.Valence: I have heard this name before...
GRN|RNS-Incendie: Trading with the SIRRIANS?!
Melliar: in the end i do service our king, i am gallian also
GRN|Pauline.Valence: You are a traitor...
GRN|RNS-Incendie: Pauline. Ive heard enough.
Melliar: non, monsiuer
Melliar: non monsieeur
Melliar: i just merely get info on them , surely you are aware of that
GRN|RNS-Incendie: By the king, I hereby sign your execution. You are found guilty of treason against his majesty. May god have mercy.
GRN|RNS-Incendie: Kill him.
GRN|Pauline.Valence: Understood... lets remove it
Melliar: i protest
Death: Melliar was put out of action by RNS-Fureur (Gun).
After the Junker vessel was destroyed, nothing worth mentioning happened.

Bonjour,
I launched at Dijon, while I moved down to the Battleship Beuvray. After my arrival there, the scanners picked a strange signal up. A ship belonging to the Sirian Zoner Group. I stated to interrogate it, but in the same time send out a call for assistance, which was answered fast.
We decided to destroy the Sirian Vessel, but it used some strange Sirian technology and escaped.
After we could be sure that our space was secure once more, we did a basic fight simulation. I was able to win it.

Bonjour, mon amis, madames, monsieurs, and Sires. I bring to you a grand victory of wonderful magnitude. Our patrol began with an investigation of the LE forces, finding them not very amusing and rather heretical. They scampered off and the Council took their place.
After an amazing display by the royal siblings, we managed to mop them all up without casualties.
For the King!

Bonjour,
I started my shift at Dijon, with a few fighting simulations, against a Bomber and a Cruiser Class Vessel. After that I received a new assignment coming from Capitaine Laurel onboard the Martyr. I was ordered to scout the System of Languedoc in order to prepare our victory.
The Martyr escorted me to the Languedoc Jumpgate, from where I launched my recon mission.
The first thing I encountered was the Remoulins Wreck, reminding me of the crimes the Council commited.
The area around the wreckage isnt guarded well, so that it shouldnt stop our offensive.
I proceeded towards the Lodeve Space Port, which is under Junker control and shouldnt cause any trouble.
The next thing I investigated was the Nimes Station.
A station heavily guarded with weapon platforms and able to defend itself with its weapons, conquering this place could require some effort.
The next thing scanned was the Planet Quillian, which is, as Nimes protected by weapon platforms.
The last thing worth scanning was the entrance to Sirius, under protection by the heavily armed Montpelier Guard Station, the remains of the Mine Field and weapon Platforms.
While heading back to my new base of operations, the Battleship Beuvray I was able to pick up a Council battleship, seeing that I had no possibility to do any damage I proceeded to Burgundy as fast as possible.
My navmap should contain the latest datas regarding the situation in Languedoc.
I have been flying under the command of Lieutenant Lavelle last night. I was ordered to enter Orkney and initiate a recon mission.
In As I jumped into Orkney and succesfully passed Reunion I was able to see an asteroid field in the distance, I advanced to the field but found nothing.
Continueing my patrol I also came across 2 jumpholes. I scanned them to calculate the destination but I am not sure how accurate these calculations are.
As I was exploring space around the second jumphole I was attacked by a Sirian taskforce. They outgunned me in any possible way and I had to run.
Something interesting happened. I received a transmission from an unknown vessel. [color=#33FF33]"*gasping is heard* A Royal Navy ship?" as I looked for the source I found another hostile ship. Lieutenant Lavelle ordered me to take it out but the Sirian managed to escape through the second jumphole.
The patrol was over and I had been ordered to return to Beuvray, back in. Languedoc I spotted the Council ship that Sous-Lieutenant Valence called in earlier. It didn't show any sign of hostile movements. But I decided not to get to close to it. *sighs*

Bonjour, mon amis, madames, monsieurs, and Sires.
Today was a rather rude awakening. Always is, sadly. A few Legionnaires were angrily yelling at something. I thought I'd beat them back into silence, but instead found they were being assailed by the Council. Cowardly fiends. The Renaissance was moved from Dijon to accompany the Legionnaires in their search. After a meaningless debate about how the other side was full of imbeciles and many other childish bantering, one of their numbers was destroyed by a roaming Navy patrol.
I instantly promoted that entire patrol. Sadly, I think they were killed by the Council's retaliation. Shame.
They gave away their position at Macon, so we moved in to burn them out. It failed. Quite horribly, might I add. Nothing was lost, but nothing was gained. It's rather sad when they have to flee their own base in order to escape our wrath. Hmph.

Bonjour, my fighter vessel was released few days ago so I was able to begin my service in the glorious Royal Navy.
As I expected, the Border Worlds must be cleaned from those who claim to be 'defenders of the liberty'. Yesterday I made contact with a member of the Maquis, near Dauphine Jump Gate.
She was trying to capture any of our officers in order to gather information of our troops' positions. I engaged her in combat, but... She made me commit a huge mistake, so my ship was disabled.
Death: GRN|Aubert.Giroux has suffered a self-administered loadout error (Mine).
Today I was able to find her again. She didn't expect me to appear (The cloaking device installed in the escape pod worked fine), but I was here, awaiting for my revenge, and I succeeded at it.
Death: Maquis|Nadine.Dumont was put out of action by GRN|Aubert.Giroux (Mine).
After this, a Council ship appeared. The pilot claimed to be a member of the 'Republique de Gaulle' fleet. He talked too much, trying to 'open my eyes'.
How pathetic, thinking a Republique would be the shortest way to reach their so-called 'freedom'.
Sadly, an ion storm jammed all my ship's electronics, losing contact with him, so I made my way back to Beuvray. I'll be ready to fight for the King again...

Another day, another almost uneventful moment in his majestys reign. Unfortunatly, one of our own tried to engage us in front of dijon station. He was immediatly executed for the reason he commited.
The +LE+ were also seen, and managed to lose a ship in 5 on 1 odds to to a council scout.
