Bonjour, Alexander...

I am contacting you because of a similar reason like last time. While there are no news about the situation in Languedoc, there is a problem conerning our ships, better said our Jaguar bombers...

On numerous occasions they have proven to be, literally, suicide chambers. Their old accelaration modules, on par with those of medium gunboats, are just not enough to successfully evade incoming shots, even from the slowest of turrets. We are working on a replacement and an upgrade, but this will take a lot of time.

So, my request to you is to use five of your Basilisk bombers. Tell me what you need in exchange, mon ami, it could be anything.

Bonsoir Enzo, I see you are in need of the Councils equipment once again.....it's is unfortunate though....we are running quite, quite low on reserve Basilisks - finding even 5 might be hard, impossible in fact - given the recent troubles in the northern sectors of Languedoc - and if that was not enough, I have before me a large number of complaints issued from civilian leaders concerned with the reports of Cardamine use in both Languedoc and Champagne....it has gotten to the point where they are insistent that I redistribute my available forces to guard the main passage ways and Orkney itself......but I have wondered.....perhaps, what I really need is a new plan - I was thinking that perhaps, on your frequent 'trips' out into Sirius, you might be able to intercept any Gallia bound Cardamine convoy's oui? Naturally, I could allow the use of 5 Basilisk bombers to aid you in this task, after all, it would only be fair non?

I'm sure you and the Legion have absolutely nothing to do with the wretched narcotic and would gladly aid us in keeping the menace out of the Council's controlled sectors and systems oui?

I'm sure it would be a terrible sight though, if certain other regions of Gallia still suffered the insidious presence of the drug amongst their populations, it might even make one question the 'authorities' ability to control the spread of the drugs oui?

Anyway, there is the only deal I can offer you, your support in reducing the volume of Cardamine making it's way onto the streets of Languedoc and Marne, in exchange for 5 - brand new - Basilisk bombers. I trust I will hear your response soon?

Merci pour the quick answer,

As you surely know, most of both our populations live in the same sectors of space - so it would be in both my and your interest to keep le cardamine out of our home systems.

Needless to say, the Legion accepts this natural task of keeping our people clean of this drug, as we aid you in any battle against our common enemies, le royals.

Merci for your assistance mon ami.

Tres bien, I'm glad we have come to such a mutually acceptable arrangement, I shall notify the necessary departments and have 5 of our Basilisks put in place for your men to collect at the nearest convenience.

Use my name and the following access code: 6G-3R-4N-1S-7U-9C-2E-5R

I believe that is all mon ami.

Regards, A.
