This is Jonas Hudson of the Bretonian Secret Intelligence Service. In follow up to our conversation in space, I'm contacting you about hearing more of this resupply operation in Leeds you spoke of. I was pleased to hear you and your folks might be reasonable for the right kind of arrangement. At the very least, any information the you could provide me would be very useful to the Bretonian war effort. That is no small favor, so we are prepared to transfer 50 Million credits for more information on this 'resupply operation'. Also, if it checks out, I will push to allow for Unione Corse vessels to be exempt from the blockade, unofficially of course, with my superiors. They would make the final call and make direct contact with your 'higher ups', as you put it, directly.
So,
What locations being supplied?
What supplies have been requested?
What supplies have been delivered?
What entities are involved in the resupply efforts?
What is the reason for the launch of this operation?
If you can tell me these things, I'll send the credits. Even if Unione Corse vessels have been involved in this op, we are still open to a deal, and hopefully gain access any intelligence your activities may yield. More intel means more credits. Like you said, no one likes this war anymore. Its in all of our business's best interests to end it sooner. You spoke of helping to stop fighting or forming a ceasefire. Unfortunately, we could not even consider a ceasefire until Gallic forces have been driven out of Leeds, Edinburgh, Magellan and Cortez. Hopefully, with help from parties like yourself, we can bring that about sooner. Certainly, our being in communication will be beneficial in the future for any possible negotiations. You are welcomed to intermediate for your faction however you can, or refer to a superior. Don't worry, if you can't get support from your leadership, I'm still willing to deal with you directly over whatever info you'd be willing to sell on your own. I look forward to hearing from you.
After much debate, for your offer of 50 million credits, we can give you some information regarding a Royal Decree to resupply Leeds. Commodities being resupplied will be revealed once receipt of transfer to [UC]-Coffre is confirmed.
For now, to begin with, it can be confirmed that this operation is open to all Gallic corporations. Several smaller orders are open to Gallic-aligned entities as well. I'm sure this last part can be easily confirmed by your agents given the public nature of the orders. I heard there's even a Bretonian freelancer who took up a job or two......
Further information will be released once you have settled the transfer. Secured and untraceable, if you please. We don't want Gallic Royal Intelligence picking up any whiff of our communications.
Once both parties determine that the other is to be trusted, we can then arrange for the leadership to have an exchange of thoughts. The Unione Corse is most interested in exploring business opportunities with Bretonia, and I'm sure the SIS would like to have more sources of supply as well, especially if it comes at the cost of the other side.
I am pleased to hear your faction is open minded about such business arrangements. I have enclosed proof of the payment transfer via a secure civilian account. We are very eager to get the final details of this operation. Like the details on non military/corporate participants, like that Bretonian Freelancer for instance. We greatly appreciate any effort your parties are willing to make for reasonable exchange. Our command HQ has been briefed, and have expressed interest in talks at higher levels once a trust is established. You are correct, there is much to be gained by both sides if we can enter into a mutually beneficial relationship, especially when it comes to supply and trade. That is exactly my line of thinking as well. I look forward to making the recommendation to my superiors that they pursue stronger ties post haste.
As agreed, here is the information we have with regards to the resupply operation in Leeds.
Wine, Luxury Food, and Luxury Consumer Goods are being requested by the Gallic government for 'morale purposes' under a decree known as Royal Sunset. However, some of the dockworkers say that there are also requisitions open to the large corporations such as GMS and IDF Shipping which are procurement orders for Oil, Promethene, Engine Components, Hull Segments, and Energy Field Equipment. A few bottles of wine later, it would seem that the goods are mainly shipped to military bases on Planet Leeds. There is rumor that several battlegroups are being resupplied on a similarly-large scale.
Again, due to the public nature of the morale boost orders, we are able to observe that an independent freighter pilot of Bretonian origin by the name of Adrian Wight, captain of a self-named Camara, is participating in said operation.
Take some time to think and verify this information, if you will. We also wish to hear confirmation soon with regards to the official unofficial award of safe passage through Bretonian-controlled space for our vessels.
Your disclosure is more than satisfactory from my position, but we'll move to confirm of course. I will report back to my superiors with this information. My thanks for your professional attitude on the matter. I personally hope we can continue to help each other in the future. For now, the next step will occur within the higher end of our chain of command. I will keep you appraised of any action taken, and further communication to the [UC] may come from another representative of the SIS and/or Bretonian Government. For now, please stand by for further communication.
