Directorate,
The following communication is classified at Tier-5 level clearance. All documentation and copies of this message are to be handled under appropriate OPSEC measures and archival procedures.
As per established lockdown protocols, we are rescinding comm blackouts to notify you of the containment status of volatile elements at Research Station 19. Immediate danger to surrounding areas and installation personnel has been quelled. The new nature of our research and development, however, requires maintenance of quarantine procedures. Incoming and outgoing traffic to the Vaud Cloud must receive prior authorization from the DSIR or risk immediate destruction to avoid potential contamination and spread of sensitive materiel and information. Following previously established protocols, Research Station 19 will attempt to function as autonomously as possible and keep aforementioned traffic to a minimum.
Putting aside the matter of site security, Special Detachment 'Huguenot' is ready to reintegrate and serve Gallic National Intelligence faithfully. Preliminary reports have indicated a distinct need for our expertise and skillset in the Union. We would like to coordinate with the Directorate in dealing with these matters. You will find pertinent information on our unit within archives bearing a Tier-4 classification level, assuming said archives yet survive. Should they not, we are willing to explain and elaborate further.
For Gallia.
Regards,
Boudicca
Intendant, Special Detachment 'Huguenot'

Boudicca,
As you can probably imagine, we were quite pleased to hear from you. The fate of Research Station 19 has been a point of contention among the Directorate since the reformation of the government and the restructuring of the GNI. Unfortunately, nobody that was still alive had any information regarding standing orders for your unit, or for R.S.19 in general. Because of this, we're going to need to ask for a fair bit of information, which will of course be Tier-5 access level only.
For starters, we need a full breakdown of current operational status of RS19, with particular consideration in regards to the R&D facilities, current production capability, and any needed supplies. We also require a list of all operatives currently in Huguenot wing and will need regular updates in regards to any staffing changes, it would be rather embarrassing for any of your people to be detained due to an out of date information. Finally, we're fine with the maintaining of the quarantine for now, as long as regular status updates about your operations are forwarded to us.
The Directorate looks forward to hearing back from you as soon as time allows.

Director,
Of course. A brief primer is in order, then. The Special Intervention and Reconnaissance Detachment, designation 'Huguenot', was formed near the advent of the GRI's operational history with the development of Gallia's trade lane and jump gate technology. Our initial mandate's concern was the control of any information pertinent to such matters, especially those of alien or politically-sensitive nature. Over time, we expanded to counter sedition in a more general sense, but never lost sight of the main goal of combatting threats to Gallia on an existential level, and yet retain our focus primarily upon alien entities, human and nonhuman alike.
RS19 confirms greenlight across the board for all necessary systems. Our quarantine will have to remain in place due to our research's sensitive status, though the facilities themselves are functioning, albeit with slightly outdated equipment. Production facilities have much the same story about them, though with our containment breach ended, we should be able to resume work on weaponry and augments. One aspect which we are lacking in, unfortunately, is qualified personnel for research and development. The breach resulted in the incapacitation and termination of key personnel in xenology, robotics, and virology departments. We will have need of transfers, though do note that any transfers made to RS19 will likely not return for the foreseeable future, in keeping with protocol.
Personnel listings will be given on secure encryption channels. You will also receive a database of extant vessels in our use, callsigns transmitted, and general IFF and transponder information to avoid incidents.
We are thankful for continued enforcement of the quarantine remaining under our administration. We will keep this frequency open for updates as they come in.
For Gallia.
Regards,
Boudicca

Directorate,
Regretfully, I am reaching out to you sooner than expected to report an annoyance. It seems the Gendarmerie are growing overzealous in their mandate and attempting to order around GNI assets that lack transponders, despite being told to contact GNI for clarification. Worse still, they follow up a refusal to follow their orders with violence against GNI vessels that have already claimed to be such. Weekend warriors, however, are little match for the DSIR.
I hope you will help make the Gallic Navy see reason. I imagine they only have so many pilots to throw away.
For Gallia.
Regards,
Boudicca

[08.04.2024 19:47:40] <H>Attila: Hm.
[08.04.2024 19:47:58] <H>Attila: Greetings and how I may help you?
[08.04.2024 19:48:00] [GN]G-Matraque-36: Identify yourself
[08.04.2024 19:48:20] <H>Attila: GNI Agent "Attila" currently on a routine patrol.
[08.04.2024 19:48:34] [GN]G-Matraque-36: GNI Agent? Your transponder doesn't say anything as such
[08.04.2024 19:49:02] [GN]G-Matraque-36: You cannot be flying around like this
[08.04.2024 19:49:27] <H>Attila: The transponder has Tier 4 GNI Encryption and is off access for any Gendarmerie protocols.
[08.04.2024 19:49:44] <H>Attila: My condolences, but this is part of the gear.
[08.04.2024 19:49:56] [GN]G-Matraque-36: I don't care if you are tier infinite, we had attacks on Gallic convoy by people with the same missing transponders
[08.04.2024 19:50:39] <H>Attila: By the same "transponder" technology? How are you so certain to determine this and not just confuse it for a faulty one.
[08.04.2024 19:51:12] [GN]G-Matraque-36: A malfunction doesn't happen to an entire army, does it now
[08.04.2024 19:51:29] <H>Attila: Who said it is an entire army?
[08.04.2024 19:51:33] [GN]G-Matraque-36: You will clear the tradelanes at once, move withing a 5,000 distance
[08.04.2024 19:51:43] [GN]G-Matraque-36: And stay out of it's bounds
[08.04.2024 19:51:54] <H>Attila: You are not one to tell me instructions.
[08.04.2024 19:52:07] <H>Attila: Forward your complaints to the head of the GNI for further questions.
[08.04.2024 19:52:10] [GN]G-Matraque-36: We are theGendarmerie
[08.04.2024 19:52:19] <H>Attila: This is out of your league and you make it unneccessarily complicated.
[08.04.2024 19:52:23] [GN]G-Matraque-36: We protect the infrastructure
[08.04.2024 19:52:39] [GN]G-Matraque-36: I don't care what league this is, you don't have a registered transponder
[08.04.2024 19:52:42] <H>Attila: You are right now in a questionable spot causing an unneccessary altercation poking into classified territorry.
[08.04.2024 19:52:45] [GN]G-Matraque-36: You will not ne near our tradelanes
[08.04.2024 19:53:02] [GN]G-Matraque-36: Do your classified business somewhere else then
[08.04.2024 19:53:15] <H>Attila: One has stated very well enough that I dont take orders from you Gendarmerist.
[08.04.2024 19:53:27] [GN]G-Matraque-36: I must insist, clear the tradelanes at once
[08.04.2024 19:53:45] <H>Attila: One is rather curious if you dont try to disturb the peace or distract an Agent from commencing their own business?
[08.04.2024 19:54:06] <H>Attila: Mayhaps we can turn the leaf and pry further, did somebody bribe you to hinder our operations...
[08.04.2024 19:54:06] [GN]G-Matraque-36: Like I said, if you don't want to cause issues, you will remove yourself from the tradelanes
[08.04.2024 19:54:10] <H>Attila: Questions, questions...
[08.04.2024 19:54:20] <H>Attila: Intriguing, right at the doorstep to Rheinland...
[08.04.2024 19:54:32] <H>Attila: One may rather have concerns about your motivations, especially being this bold.
[08.04.2024 19:54:50] <H>Attila: I rather command you to clear the scene and make your patrol worthwhile, officer.
[08.04.2024 19:54:50] [GN]G-Matraque-36: We protect the traffic and infrastructure
[08.04.2024 19:55:09] <H>Attila: Currently you are doing the opposite, and cause with that disturbance in the peace
[08.04.2024 19:55:13] <H>GNIS-Fidelite: This is the Gallic National Intelligence ship Fidelite. What's the status, over.
[08.04.2024 19:55:21] <H>Attila: By hindering a GNI agent from operating.
[08.04.2024 19:55:36] <H>Attila: Attila reporting, Salutations Fidelite-actual.
[08.04.2024 19:55:37] [GN]G-Matraque-36: There is no proof that you are a GNI agent
[08.04.2024 19:55:55] [GN]G-Matraque-36: Nothing you have said indicates as such, you will remove yourself from the tradelanes at once
[08.04.2024 19:56:17] <H>Attila: It seems this Gendarmerist is playing a bit cocky, trying to hinder an Agent from commencing their patrol.
[08.04.2024 19:56:23] <H>Attila: By trying to tell them orders.
[08.04.2024 19:56:38] <H>GNIS-Fidelite: Gendamerie ship. What is the problem, if I may ask.
[08.04.2024 19:56:46] <H>Attila: I see this as a disturbance of peace and abusing power they dont even may have.
[08.04.2024 19:56:54] [GN]G-Matraque-36: You have been given ample warnings, unknown vessels
[08.04.2024 19:57:03] [GN]G-Matraque-36: remove yourself from the tradenale vicinity or we will use force
[08.04.2024 19:57:29] <H>Attila: One already explained that the Transponder requires Tier 4 GNI Encryption and is classified technology for a mere gendarmerist.
[08.04.2024 19:57:36] <H>GNIS-Fidelite: We are under direct orders of the GNI High Command. You can send a communique if you wish to do so.,
[08.04.2024 19:57:36] [GN]GNS-Perilous: C: Enemy spotted on scanner!
[08.04.2024 19:57:39] [GN]G-Matraque-36: Well, time is up
[08.04.2024 19:57:39] <H>Attila: They seem keen to not listen and further accelerate this.
[08.04.2024 19:57:43] [GN]GNS-Perilous: C: Weapons hot and loaded for battle!
[08.04.2024 19:57:44] [GN]G-Matraque-36: Weapons ready, take them out
[08.04.2024 19:57:46] [GN]GNS-Perilous: C: Fire at will!
[08.04.2024 19:57:53] <H>Attila: Fools.
[08.04.2024 19:57:56] <H>Attila: Returning fire.
