Comm ID: Sous Lieutenant Christian d'Aubigne To: Gallic Royal Navy Transmission Centre Subject: Activity Report From: Battleship Beuvray, Living Quarters 7-26A
Bonjour camarade,
I hereby log this as Activity Report 1 of my service in the Gallic Royal Navy.
Today I started my patrol through Burgundy which was quiet besides one troubling encounter. I continued on to the Dauphine Jump Gate when I see the Council Cruiser "Liberte" attacking the trade lanes and weapons platforms around the Dauphine Jump Gate. Since I was both outmanned and outgunned and any chance of assistance was too far out, I stayed beyond weapons range and analyzed the ship's composition and exhaust signature, so that later he could be tracked without need for visual or short range scans.
After I had left Burgundy and the escaping Council Cruiser, I procceeded to Briancon Station in Dauphine and to my earnest surprise my scopes pick up a Zoner Guard in a whale-like ship design. Scopes identified its designation as "Cyterion" and it seemed to be in quite the hurry. Unfortunately after some pursuit, the whale entered the treacherous fields that house the Council and Maquis, alone and uncertain I called for support and was joined by the Grand Marshall. We procceeded together into the fields but the Zoner Whale suddenly vanished from our scopes. Either he docked or jumped were not sure.
Regardless I will a little quicker on the trigger when dealing with this Zoner in the future.
Continuing my patrol, I procceded back to Burgundy where I linked up with Police Officer Leon Denard. We procceded on towards the Champagne JG to finish my rounds and we came across a transmission over system comms. It turned out the comms signiture was of Le Council. And registered under one known as Lt. Boris Weber, after a few arrogant emissions on his part, Leon Denard and myself picked up his trail enroute to Dijon Station. We procceeded to the coordinates where he was waiting for us. We both faced each other silently for a moment...then engaged. While I would like to take credit for the events following, let it be noted that Weber's ship experianced a tragic propulsion malfunction which led to him becoming a defenseless target to my guns. There is little honour is shooting a fish in a barrel but this fish most assuredly needed to be put down.

After my encounter with Le Council, I procceeded with Mr Denard to the Champagne Jump Gate without incident. We then procceeded back to Battleship Beuvray, where I gave Mr Denard a respectful au revoir and docked.
