Maquis Leadership,
Greetings, my name is John Redmond, of the BAF Admiralty, and commander of the Stirling fleet and Gran Canaria garrison.
I am contacting you with both an offer, and a request.
To start, the request. I am currently attempting to acquire from the Liberty underworld, some fairly sophisticated malware, which is to be hidden within Sirius software and media content of varying types. I would like for the Maquis to distribute this subtle weapon to the Gallic population. In doing so, we will be able to gain intelligence from users of the content. Most of the data we gain may well be useless Big Data, but with some fortune, we may gain access to private and public enterprises, and be able to cause economic havoc or obtain blackmail material. This will both cause damage to the Crown, and damage its reputation among the population, furthering the Maquis cause and Bretonian interests.
If we were to say, gain access to an IDF corporate bank account, we could redirect funds to the Maquis for example.
Note, even if the attempt to gain the malware falls through, alternative supplies will be considered.
Now, for the offer. After our transports deliver the "goods", I see an opportunity to do something uniquely beneficial for your cause. Gallia has many dissents, naval officers who have seen the iron fist and balked, policemen who are sick of corruption, corporate workers tired of nepotism, propagandists who are censored and jailed, house wives who have lost their husbands to crown purges, factory workers who have been exploited. These are your grass roots support.
But these people are stuck under the boot of the crown. The Bretonian government, and my administration, is willing to offer a safe haven for these people, and your members too, on Gran Canaria, a large planet that is highly underpopulated, and still far from the war. We will set up a colony for Gallic dissidents, providing all they need. The Maquis may also use the colony as a base for its revolutionary efforts in Gallia, a place where the Maquis will be able to continue their efforts, even if the crown knocks down your doors in Gallia proper. This arrangement is not just for the duration of the war, no, even if the war ends tomorrow, Bretonia will never forgive the Gallic Crown for the murdering of our people on Leeds, and so we will support any effort to undermine them, war or no war.
There is a lot to take in here, and the request and offer are not light in nature. Take time to consider them, but keep in mind every day the crown takes more victims, in Gallia and Bretonia both.
Regards,
Commodore John Redmond
