Adelaide Roux was up late doing paperwork again. Lelouch had just returned from Vendome, and so far those bastards from the 13th had damaged the fleet. Somehow.
Now this message...Adelaide pressed the intercom
"Acadia, dispatch the Gawain now. Divert any ships close enough. We must rescue her Majesty." Adelaide dropped her stylus and placed her face in her hands. Why was this war already going to hell?
"Charles, contact Aurelia DeFrance...tell her, Alice DeFrance is missing following an assault on the Normandie."
Roux finally stumbled to her small couch and collapsed. Computer problems plagued the Eglantine, power was fluctuating in the cabins, and it was only Monday.
Gahdamnit, can't anyone give her a frakkin break?!
"Charles, shoot anyone who disturbs me besides you waking me in eight hours."
