Bonjour,
Mai 7th, 2100 hours -- Logistics report to have finished their inventory review and discovered the Resurgent is running low on fuel reserves. In light of the unfortunate news, Fleet Ops have recommended to take immediate action by commissioning a scavenging mission.
2125 hours -- The Morningstar was dispatched for a resource operation. Mission Objective: Acquire, collect, and restock on Promethene, use of lethal force is permitted. Intelligence suggests that the source of Promethene fuel can be found in Languedoc.
2130 hours -- Infiltrating Gallia from Orkney the Morningstar would impede shipments inbound to Vierzon Mining Facility, however, trade traffic was unusually dormant, so the jump to Languedoc was made. In Languedoc, the Morningstar identified the primary production facility of Promethene - Briancon Station, this discovery prompted a "hunker down" strategy, of which the Morningstar intercepted many a Pachydermes as a result, garnering a staggering amount of fuel.
2145 hours -- A first-response from the Gallic Navy arrived on scene which forced a retreat from the AO and into Ile-de-France, eventually reaching Picardie. The pursuit has blockaded the southern avenue of Gallia, warranting a new course. The Morningstar has opted to go through the northern corridor by entering Orleanais and setting its destination to Tau-53, escaping its tail in the process.
2205 hours -- Morningstar made contact with an independent train captain carrying a cargo hold full of Nox in Tau-53 - just outside the Lorraine gate. Initially, the situation was presented with an idle pilot who later came to in a disorientated state, as he drifted for ten klicks off the lane network. After some due resistance, the subject was coerced to wire a sum of 5,000,000 G.F to our offshore account.
2230 -- The Morningstar has successfully exfiltrated Gallia and moored back to Homebase. Mission Result: 860 metric tonnes of Promethene resupplied onto the Resurgent, fuel reserves are back to abundant capacity. Five million Gallic Francs allotted to our financial account.
End of Mission Log #01, Mai 8th, 1300 hours.
Honneur et patrie,
