COMM ID: L.C. ALPHA-19
TARGET: Alice DeFrance
SUBJECT: SCRAMBLED
ENCRYPTION: EYES ONLY

I will be making an exit as soon as it is convenient and possible, however if my time is limited, I may as well be a little more direct in my approach. I have made an effort at finding out a little more about these aliens, and perhaps sowing a few seeds of dissent. I believe making people ask a few questions would be our greatest weapon at the moment. The best way of doing that, is to ask them yourself, and allow others to see them not being answered.

A risk? Perhaps, but it may pay off. I have included the communications log between myself and Monsieur Xavier from earlier today.

[05.10.2012 22:57:02] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: Xavier, I would rather like to know a little more about the various aliens that were around the last time we were involved in an operation.
[05.10.2012 22:57:19] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: and people appear to have been remarkably closed-mouthed about them
[05.10.2012 22:57:27] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: I've done a little research into the aliens and their war with the sirians.
[05.10.2012 22:57:28] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: More often than not, people "don't know anything"
[05.10.2012 22:57:36] GRN|Camille.Delacroix: My aunt said it's the best to avoid them.
[05.10.2012 22:57:41] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: I'm rather adept at "not knowing anything" myself,
[05.10.2012 22:57:56] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: ... You tend to gain something of a bull*static* radar.
[05.10.2012 22:58:07] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: Well...to my knowledge, the war was one for territory.
[05.10.2012 22:58:23] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: magellan is silent.
[05.10.2012 22:58:24] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: The nomads, as the aliens are termed by the sirians claim the star cluster as theirs.
[05.10.2012 22:58:29] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: well, here at least.
[05.10.2012 22:58:33] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: Magellan again, Claude.
[05.10.2012 22:58:39] GRN|Claude.Douffet: Affirmative.
[05.10.2012 22:58:41] GRN|Claude.Douffet: I am on my way.
[05.10.2012 22:59:15] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: And an interesting detail we all know, Gallia is not part of the sirian star cluster technically.
[05.10.2012 22:59:46] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: But given we seek to expand into territory which definitely is
[05.10.2012 22:59:57] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: I would imagine it will bring us as much into conflict with the local fauna
[05.10.2012 23:00:01] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: as the people.
[05.10.2012 23:00:37] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: can't say much about that.
[05.10.2012 23:00:44] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: Talking to aliens is not exactly my strong suit.
[05.10.2012 23:00:44] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: simple logic.
[05.10.2012 23:00:52] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: you don't need to talk to them.
[05.10.2012 23:00:54] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: You're assuming aliens operate by human logic.
[05.10.2012 23:01:13] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: You're assuming humans work by human logic.
[05.10.2012 23:01:29] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: *smiles* true.
[05.10.2012 23:01:44] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: It would be illogical in the extreme to regard them as anything but a threat to Gallia's expansion into sirius.
[05.10.2012 23:01:53] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: But what I do know is, in whatever sorties i've led against the defenses in leeds, the nomads showed no interest in our doings.
[05.10.2012 23:02:17] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: *He laughs*
[05.10.2012 23:02:26] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: I'm sure they haven't...
[05.10.2012 23:02:30] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: and when we've won?
[05.10.2012 23:02:45] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: We already have a fair number of enemies, Chevalier. I don't have an interest in making more right now.
[05.10.2012 23:02:58] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: I agree we should carefully watch the aliens...
[05.10.2012 23:03:11] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: But until they start something, perhaps shooting big blue things is not the smartest course of action.
[05.10.2012 23:03:23] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: I believe there may be a few doing more than simply watching.
[05.10.2012 23:03:36] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: As in?
[05.10.2012 23:03:44] GRN|LT-Leon.Chevalier: "I don't know"
[05.10.2012 23:03:57] GRN|Ansel.Xavier: *chuckles* fair enough.

I will make contact as soon as I am clear of Gallia. but before I leave, it may be wise for me to find the location of the King and your "dear" sister, so as to get a far more clear picture of the situation. If I were to leave now, my time would have been wasted.

~ Leon.
