Sujet:Languedoc Operation, Yet Another IDF Encounter

Bonsoir,

This is Villeneuve reporting with another status report regarding the situation in Taus and the recent spark in already existing hostilities between the Royalist forces and The Council in the Languedoc system.

First things first, I'm sure the Senateurs are aware of the recent concerted efforts by the anti-royalist forces on Marne to further destabilize the royalist, especially in the Languedoc system on Planet Quillan. The Council forces were spreading large volume of "propaganda" (take that as lightly as you will) destined for the population of Quillan. It seems the Royalists have grown complacent, the usual patrol routes were not exactly well guarded, I might add. I won't get into the specifics, but I managed to smuggle a sizeable amount, close to 30000+ crates planet side without attracting any attention from the authorities; I think I was so cautious during the last few runs that I forgot to activate the guncam. I have to say it was a rather profitable run between Quillan and the core worlds, that may have been one of the reasons why I encountered so many vessels of Sirian origins in the border worlds hauling large amounts of Council's special cargo and even using the most obvious route to Quillan. Amateurs I say. In any case, I hope this should gain us some...leverage in the future.

I had yet another encounter with same IDF convoy I've been running into for the past couple of weeks. Their corporate routes seem to match that of the GRN and thus attracts quite a bit unwanted attention to this group, so much so that I received an escort request back to Picardy on long range comms while on patrol in the Tau-23 system. This is becoming a rather regular occurrence, I think it could lead to a beneficial deal for both parties and a lucrative one for the Corse.

[19.10.2016 19:37:35] [UC]-Benoit.Villeneuve: That's unfrotunate. For a fee, I may be able to escort you back to a more civilized space.
[19.10.2016 19:37:54] IDF~Vincennes: Fontaine: State your price, then.
[19.10.2016 19:37:54] [UC]-Benoit.Villeneuve: As I recall, you two are quite the target out here.
[19.10.2016 19:38:39] [UC]-Benoit.Villeneuve: Well, you are the "employer" in this case non? How about 1 million per system?
[19.10.2016 19:39:09] IDF~Vincennes: Fontaine: Back to Picardy, that will total your fee at five million credits.
[19.10.2016 19:39:26] IDF~Vincennes: Fontaine: As you have suggested, one million for each gate we pass.
[19.10.2016 19:39:29] [UC]-Benoit.Villeneuve: D'accord, sounds reasonable for now.
[19.10.2016 19:39:35] [UC]-Benoit.Villeneuve: Let's get on with it.
[19.10.2016 19:39:41] IDF~Vincennes: Fontaine: Oui.

[19.10.2016 19:41:05] IDF~Vincennes: Fontaine: Much, Benoit.
[19.10.2016 19:41:53] [UC]-Benoit.Villeneuve: You should be extra careful outside of Languedoc. Too many unknowns for my taste.
[19.10.2016 19:47:41] IDF~Vincennes: Fontaine: Monsieur Alex seems to have run into some -- ah, there.
[19.10.2016 19:48:11] IDF~Vincennes: Fontaine: New Paris is certainly a welcome sight, as always.
[19.10.2016 19:48:16] IDF~Troyes: Alex: I searched for my wine.
[19.10.2016 19:48:44] [UC]-Benoit.Villeneuve: Oui, business takes me there from time to time.

[19.10.2016 19:50:42] IDF~Vincennes: Fontaine: The Guise Mining Facility.
[19.10.2016 19:51:02] IDF~Vincennes: Fontaine: GMS operates a mining station deep in the field there -- we pick up ore and move it.
[19.10.2016 19:51:28] [UC]-Benoit.Villeneuve: Ah oui.
[19.10.2016 19:52:17] IDF~Vincennes: Fontaine: Actually, we must make a stop here.

[19.10.2016 19:54:15] IDF~Troyes: Alex: Maybe even to get a escort contract.
[19.10.2016 19:54:27] [UC]-Benoit.Villeneuve: Sounds intriguing

That is all for now,

Villeneuve out.
