What do you know my Lady!
Of all the years of serving with you, only now do I know your tea obsession is completely normal!
How did it feel flying in formation with so many Bretonians again? It felt like they kept putting us in opposing teams for extra fun! Hope you didn't have too much fun though - the Navy needs you, don't you even think of going back!
Now if you excuse me before you reply, I just might give your habit a try - those other tea-loving Commanders and Admirals sure have shown some skills, maybe this is your secret!

Well, I always told you that my love for Tea and Crumpets is as Normal as the LPI´s Love for Donuts and coffee. Tea is much more Delicious and Healthy than coffee might ever be. And of course, it's even better when you Grow the Tea yourself.
To be honest, it felt quite strange to fly with the BAF again, it reminded me a lot of the Days of the Gallic War when Bretonian and Libertonian Naval Ships operated Together. It Brought back good and bad memories from the time of the War. I think i will pay a Visit to my old home soon as the Day of the Fall of Leeds comes Closer. I will send a Capsule with Flowers down to the Surface to the place where the Summers Mansion once stood Proud and watched over the Land.
I am sure you will find a Good Tea that you will enjoy and love to Drink. As for the Secret of us Tea Lovers, it is a Scientific Fact that Tea can Boost your Mental Capacity and Calm you down in a Stressfull Situation.

Send some flowers for me in that case - I haven't been on the Leeds front lines then, and can only imagine how it must feel, but we must pay respects to those who gave their life for their homeland.
And maybe you are right! I am getting old, you know, Duty, Honor, and Liberty still fuel me, but a little kick from the tea seems to be a good idea, like when we flew together in the exercises. Who knows, maybe I will be the one people wonder about with their tea obsession soon enough!
It was nice chatting with you Camile - it feels like yesterday when your brand new cruiser took down that Rogue Scylla in what is now the Detroit Debris Field in New York, with me trying to help your crew on my Spatial - help you didn't need in the end. Your crew has since become the powerhouse of the Liberty Navy, perhaps it is the tea!

Summers,
I don't want to offend you in any way, but since last time I have seen you - damn! You sure have become a masterful commander. You and your loyal crew jumped on those enemies with vengeance and fury! How are things anyway? What have you been up to besides honing your skills?

Good Day, Admiral.
It was indeed a while since we last talked. I have to say that I didn't notice the accomplishments of the Lady till I saw the reports afterward. I was way too occupied with Commanding the Ship and Directing the Fire of our Guns. But most of the Hard work was done by my crew, I was just leading them in Battle. I gave given the Crew some Extra RnR Time for the Good accomplishment and gave the Gunners an Extra Ration of Tea and Crumpets.
I am sure that you noticed that the Lady Flys under the Banner of the Secondary Fleet Right now. The Lady of Leeds and her Crew have Quit the Service of the 46th Fleet after I got Reprimanded by the Admirals for Helping the 1st Fleet and other Allies in Kansas the other day.
After I got Some Trustworthy information that the Admiral's Planned to Degrade me I offered my Resignation. After what I heard afterward it was planned to "Honorable Discharge" me. The Crew of the LNS-Lady-of-Leeds and LNS-New-England have then decided to Follow me to the Service of the Secondary Fleet.
But all in all, it's not a bad thing, I have more freedom now as a captain of the Secondary fleet. Even when I have to file more Paperwork when it comes to things like Repairs and Provisions for the Ship. But I also no longer have to listen to the orders of Admirals that would Damm me to sit idle on my Ass while civilians get hurt by their orders.

Summers,
Of course, it is our crews that do the real work, our aim is to merely motivate and lead them. I am glad you have people you can count on who have followed you to your new assignment, getting the full complement of both warships to follow you is quite some feat!
And do not feel bitter, after all is said and done, it is good we have conservative Admirals in the Primary Fleets who act as our backup, who stay back in the deep house space while we take the fight to our enemies, while we protect civilians. This safety net allows us freer hands and our proactive campaigns can proceed without worry. I've had my open disagreements with some of them, heck, nearly five years ago they even tried and failed to discharge me from service altogether for following orders of the same man whose statues are erected on every planet in Liberty - what you have to realize is, that we serve where we are most useful, where we are most needed, and the time has clearly come for you to move from conservatism to heroism and proactivity, the Primary Fleets are not the natural place for that.
Although we have achieved our primary objective in Kansas, the action might not be over just yet - let's see what happens, we are glad to have you and your officers and crewmen with us! Perhaps someday in the future, we might even decide that closer cooperation might be sought after.
Regards,
Blake Wayne Van Leer - Admiral of the Armada - 1st Armada

Good Day, Admiral.
I really appreciate your understanding in this matter, my own Admirals at the 46th have Refused to Understand me. But the day that we stop Defend Civilians under our Care, is the day another Fate like the one of Leeds is able to be seen on the Horizon. I have Sworn at the Fires of Leeds to never let that happen ever again under my Watch, and I would Rather Die before I break this Oath.
Your Understanding of this is like a Cool Rain on a Hot Day. it helps me to regain my belief in the Navy as an institution for good. I hope this might improve over time so that I find the Trust again to Join one of the bigger and more Organized Fleets. You have no idea what I had to do to get some new Coils for the Siege Gun of the Lady of Leeds, some of what the Quartermaster Gave us to replace the Broken ones were almost as old as the Lady itself, and she Served in the Gallic War.
For now, I wish you a Good day, i hope I can maybe welcome you on the Lady in the Future for a Cup of tea and Some Crumpets when the Circumstances allow it and we both have some time.
The Baroness of Leeds
