C.I.S. Intelligence Report
Conclusion of the "Fallen Grace" Operation

Personal notes of C.I.S. Director Aidan White:

*With a calm voice.* "Fallen Grace", indeed graceful, i will admit.
It was, in the end, a bridge that we boldly accepted to jump over. As some of you may know, our forces along with those of the ONI Loyalists and the Order agents tried (and almost succeeded) into overthrowing the Gallic Monarchy. We sent a number of agents from the 17th as well as a team of marines (along with the usual spaceship crew) for this.

Obviously, some of our ships also held the line in the firefight in space, side by side with the allied vessels. In the end we had to retreat, yet this was a hard blow into the Gallic Forces and it will most surely help us in the long run. Not to mention that since this incident, the Tau-44 System is under the control of Gauls sympathetic to the Republic.
I find it almost funny that Belka isn't here to see this.

Anyhow, I'll relay the following transmission from agent Sentry. I assume he would explain the details better, as he was witness to the operation.

Well, no place like home. Thank the ancestors Fallen Grace is over. *He sighs.*

Our main goal was clear. Since the Gallic King as well as many members of the Royal Navy had been infected by nomads, they all had to be terminated.

We started the operation with ease. With help from the Corse and Lelouch D'Aramis' forces which came with the Eglantine, we, and the Order fighter wings, arrived in Ile-de-France safely.

After the whole chaos commenced, some of our Agents as well as the Order fellows began to fend off the Gallic fightercraft. On the other end, I was onboard the Sharkteeth which brought us to the Chant du Cygne. We boarded the Flagship and held the bridge in order for the Loyalists to disable the vessel, but it all went faster than we expected. The Order also came on the Cygne to collect some data.

We managed to achieve our first objectives and we also damaged the infrastructure of New Paris, but the Gallic reinforcements forced us to abort.
We've lost Prudence, Daring, Betterment, 4 more other agents and a couple of marines, while the Sharkteeth and the Phoenix have been damaged but the Sovereign managed to save them.

Luckily, Raven, though injured, made it out and met with D'Aramis again. I assume she'll be back soon. Sage came with Rubicon, while I accompanied the marines aboard the Phoenix. *A slight smile takes shape but fades quickly.*

Either way, most of us got out, and those who didn't will mostly be resting in peace, knowing that we took down a large number of infectees and made a hole in the Royal Navy's forces. Commander Anders was right i assume.

Admiral, I'm sure you'll be getting the Fleet into a tight spot at some point in this operation. Perhaps a look back to the tactics the Crayter Military came up with could be of use. Our Kronos hulls can stand quite some heat these days... Show them what it means to be a Colonial, and why they should never have crossed us.

Even though not a complete victory, let's hope it will be the start for one.

So say we all!

*He leans his head, looking downward.* Sentry, signing off.
