Bonsoir Atris, I will no doubt fail at trying to make this brief.
Firstly, I'm not sure exactly how you believe yourself to be in a position to hack a secure channel, believe me, I take a dim view of this - at the very best it is exceptionally rude, at the very worst it is a deliberate attempt to break the Councils communication codes. In short. Keep your responses OUT of message channels not addressed to you.
Now, on to the main body of your apparent grievances; I did not need to wait for your report - quite frankly the mountain of evidence and number of personal testimonies I have witnessed quite clearly showing your men to be thoroughly out of their depths in an area of space they had scant reason to be in in the first place.
Do you honestly thing war ships make a suitable diplomatic envoy? No doubt had I promised a full investigation in the message to the Gaians, you would be complaining that I am overstepping my authority by demanding your report and evidence.....
I have no idea what 'branch' I have locked - I assume you refer to yourselves....if so, I fail to see how I have 'locked' it - I have denied you nothing and in no way sought to limit your activities.
What kind of leader am I to trust my allies?....an odd question, seeing as you list no supposed allies of mine, and your constant referral to these 'allies' misdeeds without proof is both lazy and reckless. I have not claimed you did represent the [C]ouncil - so I am at a loss to answer that specific complaint, I have not charged with impersonating the High Command, perhaps you should re-think that claim against me.
The recent fight in Burgundy, let me check, ahh yes, this is the correct report Log 42. CdC, the Council lost nothing. We successfully carried out our mission and withdrew. No loss, no excess, no waste. The [C]ouncil does not endanger our fleet or pilots when engaged by the GRN in Burgundy, keeping our numbers reduced to complete a specific task is to conserve our strength - not risk it so close to the GRN bases and lanes. I'll not apologise for declining your offer.
Your next point I'm afraid is beyond my comprehension M'sieur....as far as I am aware no Sirian 'reinforcements' have been joining the Council - they have their own equally pressing concerns it would seem.
''Miners in Tau are less important than Gaians'' What a ridiculous question - I think you meant to ask me if I believed, "Miners in the Taus are worth less than Gaian's IN EDINBURGH". We have no business there - another house considers it Sovereign space - another house that takes a rather pointed view of foreign Capital war ships venturing through their systems, without request or permission.
The whole issue of the Taus is one I'll not touch with a 12 foot barge pole. It is a sight of intense struggle between multiple factions, all of which have a vested interest in that sector - which the Council does not. We have a large enough enemy right in front of us, yet you would have us involved in a war on another front to protect miners from the depredations of Gallic groups - the same Gallic groups that have aided us to a great degree. The end result, we loose out on all fronts, our precious few allies in Gallia abandon us and we potentially generate new, powerful, Sirian enemies. Congratulations on this stellar diplomatic display.
Brigands. 'Allies of the Outcast'. Once again I fear you have let your mouth to out-run your mind. You offer accusation, but no proof - and such comment's have been known to have dire consequences. Now, this 'deal' to run Cardamine - if true, I would personally begin to investigate them, they know my particular distaste for the substance......and yet...once again, you have no evidence. If I knew any better I might be tempted to call you out as an agent of the Crown, your certainly doing your best to destabilise the Councils relations with its friends and partners.
Now we come to the final point. At NO point in my private communique to the Gaians did I ever promise them your heads, at no point did I promise them I would attempt to censure or punish the GAUL fleet, at no point did I promise them my unyielding support against you. Yet you overreact to a private message - a private message that only sought to try and straighten out YOUR mess for the good of the Council.
The point of this message was to try and address your concerns whilst also hopefully imparting on you the need for actual evidence before you make wild accusations against some of our long-term partners. Oh, and to keep out of private comm channels too.
Now, I have answered those points I believed most important - feel free to barrage me with more of your complaints and reveal my flaws as a leader - Gallia knows I have enough of them - I am if nothing else, a patient man.
Firstly, I'm not sure exactly how you believe yourself to be in a position to hack a secure channel, believe me, I take a dim view of this - at the very best it is exceptionally rude, at the very worst it is a deliberate attempt to break the Councils communication codes. In short. Keep your responses OUT of message channels not addressed to you.
Accept my apologies, it seems there was a mistake, i shouldn't have received this message and shouldn't have answered directly, but what i read shocked me(//actually this is really a mistake, i can delete it if you want, pm me).
Do you honestly thing war ships make a suitable diplomatic envoy?
Again: no, no, no and no. I already answered , a BS is the last possible choice for diplomatic visits.
I already answered, the reports i have show clearly that the officers made one mistake: acting in precipitation.
They tried to atenuate the consequence, to accept it with humility , but were taken in a trap.
You know very well our Redemption or Obstinate usually NEVER leave Gallia except for ONE reason i won't expose here. Once again, you look surprisingly closed...
What kind of leader am I to trust my allies?....an odd question, seeing as you list no supposed allies of mine, and your constant referral to these 'allies' misdeeds without proof is both lazy and reckless
we are your allies too, despite of that you want Evidences ? There is a paradox but very well, as you're too lazy to just talk to them by yourself, and as what i saw or heard makes no importance to you i'll have to record any conversation i have and report it to you now ?
No doubt had I promised a full investigation in the message to the Gaians, you would be complaining that I am overstepping my authority by demanding your report and evidence.....
This is why i systematically warned you - or at least tried to - about all strange incursions, contact or whatever we noticed ? Where is the logic ?
By the way, i never had Half an answer about the Order BS incursion, although you had evidences. I even contacted you when you were in Languedoc, while the BS was still here, both of you dispeared at the same time on Long range scan... We never choosed to act alone even if we have specificities, but Face it: we're almost an insult to you. What comes from us has from the first minute been seen as a kind of provocation,
I have no idea what 'branch' I have locked - I assume you refer to yourselves....if so, I fail to see how I have 'locked' it - I have denied you nothing and in no way sought to limit your activities.
this is unbearable and unworthy coming from a General, how can you expect a single minute we can keep on talking ?
By giving no credit to any of our reports, by giving no answers to our questions, what do you as a leader think you made ?
Your next point I'm afraid is beyond my comprehension M'sieur....as far as I am aware no Sirian 'reinforcements' have been joining the Council - they have their own equally pressing concerns it would seem.
I already discussed this point, Whenever you Lord Alexander du Lac will consent descending from the sky to meet us, poor and blind sinners, I'll introduce you to the two captains. I can introduce you to Ens Dayson too, a sirian who joined the council.
But we both know this won't happen, for you don't want that. Even your message is just an instrument, to display an attitude. We are just used as rewarding tools...Well at least we're suddenly usefull, let's see the good side of things.
It is obvious i have no credibility nor value to you and, to be honest Alexandre *he insists on the Gallic way of pronunciation*, since a few minutes, i can live with that very well.
But if this accident harms the council or if you consider the relation with the gaians is so important that it requires repairs, be sure i am willing to face the consequences of our mistake. You are not responsible for this tragic accident, we are, you don't have to suffer from that.
As you relationship with Gaians is far better than mine now, let me know when you judge the good moment for me to contact them.
