It has come to my attention that, prior my return to active duty due to my recovery and rehabilitation, my Commander and Admiral Kaze Reidman Dagon had tragically and heroically passed away protecting our nation and that the fleet I was assigned to, York Fleet, had been destroyed with the remnants being merged with Essex fleet. In light of this I'm here to formally request that I be transferred to the forces under Commodore Elizabeth Hall Governor General of Exeter. I'm asking this because after taking part as aid to the destruction of Vostok Production Facility I got a good look at the system of Exeter and the potential it has to provide industry, capital, and manpower to Bretonia if properly secured and stabilised. I believe my expertise and experience on the front lines against the Enclave could be put to optimal use in preparing countermeasures against our enemies attempting to sabotage the progress of Exeter.

I hope you consider this acceptable sir. I dare not disappoint.

I do indeed still wish to be transferred, only with a somewhat heavier heart as I do so.
The route to Exeter is far but construction to connect it to the trade lanes of Bretonia is slowly proceeding. Once accomplished it will be far easier to send supplies to the system. And if the planet can begin to industrialise it, in theory, should become self sufficient and therefore act as its own anchor of Bretonian interests in that region. Once that is accomplished we can work on construction yet another gate to Dublin which with two colonised planet systems connecting to it, will be far easier to supply. That is all theory of course. Due to how far Harris is and the proximity of Harris supply routes to the Enclave hunkered down in Edinburgh. I personally think we should continue our work on Exeter. As for my transfer request I might be able to offer a parting gift in the form of a suggestion to replace me in my duties. One of my subordinates, Alastair Griffiths, has proven to be above exemplary in the field. However he does have a rather snobbish side to him. He begrudgingly served me as I was from Leeds which he deemed a less than civilised upbringing. But you'll realise his behaviour on your own I'm sure.

Sincerely,

Good morning Admiral Redmond,

As you have no doubt been informed already, I am Alastair Griffiths, and am to be replacing Captain Lance in his aforementioned duties after his transfer. I am pleased that he noted of my "exemplary" experience in the field. Despite being from Leeds, he is correct in his assessment of my expertise. I assure you sire, I will not be a disappointment to you or the Crown.


Sincerely,

I see my facade might be a bit overgrown Admiral. I overcompensated on the idea that I'd have to emphasise my reason for abandoning my brothers further north.

Now to answer not only my upbringing but also my supposed arrogance. My rehabilitation I mentioned? Booze and a bad habit of chasing the dead men too far into hostile space. That's how I got my injuries. Because if you've won overwhelmingly why'd you let anyone escape longer than they have to. And it's hard to not have the men under your command question you if all you show them is an unrelenting rage. It's tearing me and our other Leeds born apart. Sir. so of course we would hide it under ignorance. My upbringing was watching my parents go to war, never come back, and then my self be forced to fight, wrestle, and gut the gauls on the ground Admiral, Where am I stepping the line in my attitude? I used to make that mistake often, I just chose to continue what I knew without proper expectation of what was going to change when compared to command down planet side. Those under me weren't all from Leeds and those who were needed a role model of recovery. I'd say I did a poor job but better than what any other person put in my shoes could have. They'd be dead. Then there's the glassing, the complete and utter annihilation of my growing up, my history and people. There's an endless amount of bodies which the payment for can't be put into scale I just can't comprehend how far am I and where would it end. I admit I'm blind to the amount I've killed and how that affected the war. Probably a good deal. But I want to return to society some day and I don't think we really can after this. Enough of that being said.

I've changed my personal strategy with the more authority I've gained over the years. Because being a captain with ambition it's possible I could eventually lead the direction of the war. If I were in your shoes right now Admiral, I too would be insulted by the green statements of this happy yet bloodied captain. It's not my place to micromanage things not in front of me but can you really rely on everyone to live up to their position? I'd damn well hope so but it's better to strive for more than be content. Your last message alone means you're perfect for your role and I'm glad to had been merged with the survivors of York fleet into the Essex fleet. Admiral Dagon knew of my progress in regaining any inkling of rationality and it's apparent I shouldn't expect others to. My apologies.

Would a once denizen of Leeds be able to sculpt anything more than factories and smog? The smell of progress in the air is what that was. And I don't want us running out of ships anytime soon and I dread the financial situation we're in after Liberty threw bodies into our war. Not that I don't welcome more red nebulae for our ships to get their red paint from. Further more if these refugees are primarily from Leeds then what else would they know but a mechanised landscape.
With this masquerade I'm playing, I'm sure the people of Exeter won't offer as much resistance in the rapid hollowing out of their planet as long as my proposed strategies are properly considered by the Governor. I hope that personally unprofessional show of my past is enough for you to have some faith in me and my reasons.

Gods speed and Satan's daring, Admiral.
