[07/06/825] I visited Gallia to confirm what did the gallic contact say to ours about the fact of being a "prestigious and historic house" they think to be, and they're partially right: Their worlds are beautiful like their structures, sometimes I'm sad about the fact that it's fighting against Bretonia and Liberty but however the problem is that their pride to be a prestigious house they are hides a sad reality:
I saw wrecks, criminal organizations and even an ongoing big revolution like the oldest one I learnt in the old Earth ages. I fear that the same thing is happening there. Well, if you receive a similar description like that you perceive they've an aristocratic monarchy almost like the Bretonians one, and I've always had doubts about benefits to live as a citizen of an aristocratic state.
[11/06/825]
...And this is what I feared: Less ships of the Battleship Betheny's garrison tried to defend it from a Liberty/Bretonian raid happened few moments ago. Maybe I'm wrong and the bulk of the Royal fleet was in Leeds to prevent other raid attempts. In any case I discovered other about their history: They claim to have been betrayed from Sirian people many centuries ago and they want to prepare a... "big Revenge" against all Sirius, especially against the Liberty. I knew about other sleeper ships that they abandoned Earth but wasn't "officially declared" from the actual Sirians but I didn't remember who were them. Actually I remember that in the old Earth there were other cultures and languages apart from what it remained here. And in less than a week I discover that the french one wasn't completely lost. They could have other reasons to attack the entire Sirius sector apart from the "Revenge reason". I should advice "Wreckter" to investigate deeper about their goals. I'm not quiet in these days…

[11.06.2018 19:17:31] MRG|Marcel.Broussard: Civilian ship, please clear the area. This is about to be a very bad place to visit.
[11.06.2018 19:17:37] {AC}=Carl.Benson: Oh...
[11.06.2018 19:18:06] {AC}=Carl.Benson: Can't I know about yours, gallics?
[11.06.2018 19:18:28] MRG|Marcel.Broussard: Your visit normally wouldn't be unwelcome, but there's soon to be a lot of shooting here.
[11.06.2018 19:18:36] {AC}=Carl.Benson: I see...
[11.06.2018 19:18:41] MRG|Marcel.Broussard: I don't want to see a civilian get caught in the crossfire.
[11.06.2018 19:18:41] {AC}=Carl.Benson: and maybe I expected it
[11.06.2018 19:18:58] {AC}=Carl.Benson: Don't worry. I survive on worse things
[11.06.2018 19:19:09] MRG|Marcel.Broussard: #t, this system is under the authority of the Royal Navy. Please leave at once!
[11.06.2018 19:19:36] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Chanteloup : Well, it seems yesterday's utter spanking wasn't enough to deter you, Bretonians.
[11.06.2018 19:19:49] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Persistence, good. I like persistence.
[11.06.2018 19:19:51] HMS-Rodney: Holland: We are never deterred!
[11.06.2018 19:19:59] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: Khatri: This is Captain John Khatri to the fleet. Start firing at the Betheny. Over.
[11.06.2018 19:20:15] {AC}=Carl.Benson: Uhm... I should get away...
[11.06.2018 19:20:21] MRG|Marcel.Broussard: I tried to warn you.
[11.06.2018 19:20:21] [SIS]-Jonas.Hudson: Detecting enemy vessel activity
[11.06.2018 19:20:22] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: That is advisable.
[11.06.2018 19:20:36] BRF|HMS-Empress.of.Tau: M: Following the given orders. Load the Lewis-Cannon.
[11.06.2018 19:20:40] BAF|A-HMS-Fortitude: Hunt: seems like a lone valor captains
[11.06.2018 19:20:47] [SIS]-Jonas.Hudson: Holding formation, targeting enemy vessels
[11.06.2018 19:20:57] {AC}=Carl.Benson: Curious guns. I never see them...
[11.06.2018 19:21:01] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: Khatri: This is Captain Khatri to the RNS Temeraire. Who is in command? How do I refer to you?
[11.06.2018 19:21:20] BAF|A-HMS-Fortitude: Hunt: the Betheny will not survive this assault
[11.06.2018 19:21:21] Thackeray:: Greetings.
[11.06.2018 19:21:29] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Chanteloup : and I thought you would have remembered me by now, captain.
[11.06.2018 19:21:30] HMS-Rodney: Holland: That we will ensure.
[11.06.2018 19:21:31] [SIS]-Telic: Mr. Benson, we could use you in this fight if you are willing to help us.
[11.06.2018 19:21:41] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: Khatri: Economize on your energy, gentlemen. We never know when the Gallic fleet is going to arrive.
[11.06.2018 19:21:46] Thackeray:: Moving in against Gallic forces.
[11.06.2018 19:21:56] {AC}=Carl.Benson: Interesting guns. Where did you take them?
[audio cut]
[11.06.2018 19:24:45] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: Khatri: If I remember well, you spoke about Mers el kebir.
[11.06.2018 19:25:02] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: Kgatri: I searched in the neural net. Apparently it was a French defeat.
[11.06.2018 19:25:22] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Chanteloup : we like to refer to it as a "Cruel betrayal from a longstanding ally".
[11.06.2018 19:25:27] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: I call it "valuable lesson".
[11.06.2018 19:25:28] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: Khatri: Bomber squadron, stay put. We want them alive and well while watching the Betheny going down.
[11.06.2018 19:25:36] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: And not able to do anything about it.
[11.06.2018 19:25:36] [SIS]-Telic: Roger that, standing down.
[11.06.2018 19:25:37] GG-A-Vulture: Oh boy.
[11.06.2018 19:25:44] MRG|RNS-Auvergne: RO: Indeed, betrayal seems to be in their blood.
[11.06.2018 19:26:01] GG-A-Vulture: Have no fear, Gaians are here!
[11.06.2018 19:26:02] Mistral: let them wallow in the mud of past victories
[11.06.2018 19:26:04] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Chanteloup : You know, captain Khatri, what saddens me the most ?
[11.06.2018 19:26:27] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Time and again, our nations were at peace. Good spirits, proper exchanges, History is clear on that.
[11.06.2018 19:26:33] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: We were the soul of an entire continent.
[11.06.2018 19:26:33] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: The unneccessary deaths of so many men, women, children and even pets, on Planet Leeds?
[11.06.2018 19:26:51] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Unnecessary, yes... Do not think I don't weep for them.
[11.06.2018 19:26:53] MRG|RNS-Auvergne: RO: Don't act as if you're the only victim of conflict.
[11.06.2018 19:27:06] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: This is what I do not understand.
[11.06.2018 19:27:10] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: Pardon me, Miss. I am no historian. I am a soldier, and I have a mission. I am loyal to my country, and
[11.06.2018 19:27:15] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: you will need more than words to stop me.
[11.06.2018 19:27:19] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: Me... and the fleet.
[11.06.2018 19:27:30] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Why, even now, centuries after the great betrayal ordered by Liberty, you still stand by them.
[11.06.2018 19:27:44] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: You depend upon them like chicks depend upon an oversized hen.
[11.06.2018 19:27:44] Jaquille.Lebombardier: Mon commandant! I am ready to take on the enemy! Just tell me what to do!
[11.06.2018 19:27:48] {AC}=Carl.Benson: What betrayal?
[11.06.2018 19:28:05] Death: GRN-Gregoire.Jordan was put out of action by Thackeray: (Gun).
[11.06.2018 19:28:13] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: If we could finally, once again, shake hands and drive our houses together, forward... And finally bring justice to Liberty.
[11.06.2018 19:28:16] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: I am neither a diplomat, Miss. I do not think it would be professional of me to answer your question.
[11.06.2018 19:28:23] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: THEY are the ones responsibles for the great divide of this galaxy !
[11.06.2018 19:28:47] GG-A-Vulture: Noone wants to help out the Hacker? Huh.
[11.06.2018 19:28:48] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: THEY have caused all this suffering, through greed, cunning and manipulation !
[11.06.2018 19:28:51] [SIS]-Jonas.Hudson: *laughs* That Hacker's giving you a run for your money today Gallies
[11.06.2018 19:29:00] Mistral: more then those brets ever did
[11.06.2018 19:29:05] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: My apologies for the Hacker, Miss. He's not under our supervision. He's acting on his own.
[11.06.2018 19:29:16] GG-A-Vulture: I mean, I feel you, but he's shooting the Gauls anyways.
[11.06.2018 19:29:19] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Pesky flies... All fighters converge on it and remove it from the premises.
[11.06.2018 19:29:19] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: Our orders are to fire at the Betheny until you gather a fleet. Then destroy that fleet.
[11.06.2018 19:29:23] {AC}=Carl.Benson: Ehm... I'm not understanding what are you saying.
[11.06.2018 19:29:30] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: I have no time for interfering nerds.
[11.06.2018 19:29:34] {AC}=Carl.Benson: What happened many years ago?
[11.06.2018 19:29:49] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Have you not heard, monsieur Benson ? May I ask where you have been born ?
[11.06.2018 19:29:51] {AC}=Carl.Benson: or decals? Centuries?
[11.06.2018 19:30:03] Jaquille.Lebombardier: Loading up SNAC! Engaging Hacker!!!
[11.06.2018 19:30:06] {AC}=Carl.Benson: Yes but... why?
[11.06.2018 19:30:16] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Then please reply.
[11.06.2018 19:30:47] RNS-La.Bagarreur: Nicholas: All hands at Secondary Turrets.. Provide Coverfire to our Fighter wings... Fire at will...
[11.06.2018 19:30:55] {AC}=Carl.Benson: You say that Bretonians are the reason of the.... "Great divide of this galaxy"...
[11.06.2018 19:31:03] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Not Bretonians, no.
[11.06.2018 19:31:10] {AC}=Carl.Benson: Who then?
[11.06.2018 19:31:13] HMS-Rodney: Holland: They blame Liberty.
[11.06.2018 19:31:13] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Bretonia is a proud, noble house, a civilised nation.
[11.06.2018 19:31:16] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Unlike Liberty.
[11.06.2018 19:31:22] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: Miss captain... What did you say it was your name? I do sincerely apologize, I have a lot of business in my hands.
[11.06.2018 19:31:34] {AC}=Carl.Benson: If it's so, why are you against Bretonians?
[11.06.2018 19:31:37] HMS-Rodney: Holland: Frankly, miss, that is far from what I have heard about our Kingdom from your own people.
[11.06.2018 19:31:40] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: Maybe if they hired someone... whiter, maybe he would do the job better. But I am only a captain.
[11.06.2018 19:31:44] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: A cesspool of greed and short-sightedness, a dedication to immediate profit at any cost.
[11.06.2018 19:32:15] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: At the eleventh hour, when all was lost, they betrayed the great nation of France to save their own skins.
[11.06.2018 19:32:20] {AC}=Carl.Benson: From what I know, the first house hit from your wars are Bretonians, not Libertonians...
[11.06.2018 19:32:25] BAF|A-HMS-Swiftsure: Willis: *Sighs* All this political propaganda is quite boring... *Sips on his yea*
[11.06.2018 19:32:27] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: I would like to know how to call you because I want to be polite to you when I invite you for a cup of tea.
[11.06.2018 19:32:32] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: Aboard the Sovereign, of course.
[11.06.2018 19:32:40] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: All of this to ensure a safe departure from the solar system... And the best systems in Sirius to home in on.
[11.06.2018 19:32:42] Death: Thackeray: was put out of action by Jaquille.Lebombardier (Gun).
[11.06.2018 19:32:49] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Like the dirty all consuming maggots that they are !
[11.06.2018 19:32:52] Jaquille.Lebombardier: I obey my commandant!
[11.06.2018 19:32:54] [C]-Ouragan: Good shot. Even I must admit!
[11.06.2018 19:33:09] Jaquille.Lebombardier: Ready for next target!
[11.06.2018 19:33:16] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: We have pre-emptively struck against the Bretonians, that much is true.
[11.06.2018 19:33:39] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: We wanted to make it clear that Gallia would be avenged. That our unwilling sacrifice hadn't been forgotten.
[11.06.2018 19:33:45] HMS-Rodney: Holland: With respect, Captain, none of your fellows seem to share your sentiment.
[11.06.2018 19:33:57] Mistral: 5 Bretonia Battleships
[11.06.2018 19:33:57] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: I will admit you I would also like this war to end... if you are tired already. We are not, but perhaps you could send
[11.06.2018 19:34:01] Mistral: thats their entire fleet is it not?
[11.06.2018 19:34:05] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: a message to our government.
[11.06.2018 19:34:11] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: We wanted to make a point of it. Strike first, display our might, then get to the table, to talk.
[11.06.2018 19:34:21] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: If the terms are favourable enough for us, we will grant you peace.
[11.06.2018 19:34:23] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Which we tried, and were sent packing without ceremony.
[11.06.2018 19:34:32] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: That is how it usually goes... I suppose.
[11.06.2018 19:34:32] {AC}=Carl.Benson: Striking Bretonia? But if according to you, the responsibles are Liberty...
[11.06.2018 19:34:52] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Oh, Kusari was struck, too.
[11.06.2018 19:35:11] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Our path is not one of friendly negociation. Not after so much has been denied to us.
[11.06.2018 19:35:33] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: We have come here to reclaim what we were unjustly deprived of, by force first, to make our point.
[11.06.2018 19:36:02] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: But ultimately, we aim for a peaceful and united Sirius, once the reparations have been appropriately dealt with.
[11.06.2018 19:36:18] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Liberty, clearly being the most powerful and most corrupt of all Houses, needed to be dealt with last.
[11.06.2018 19:36:37] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Thus far, the Rheinlanders have proven amicable and not privy to the great divide, and thus will be spared.
[11.06.2018 19:36:40] {AC}=Carl.Benson: And meanwhille do you strike all other houses?
[11.06.2018 19:36:46] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: But Liberty, oh Liberty will pay the harshest price of all.
[11.06.2018 19:36:54] BRF|HMS-Empress.of.Tau: M: Your reasoning is very illogical.
[11.06.2018 19:37:07] LNS-Papa.Dragon: RO: Captain Pearce doubts it.
[11.06.2018 19:37:08] BRF|HMS-Empress.of.Tau: M: You mention peace so much, but here you are, with a proud killcount.
[11.06.2018 19:37:10] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: It served us well enough up until then.
[11.06.2018 19:37:19] LNS-Papa.Dragon: RO: He says that it will be the other way around.
[11.06.2018 19:37:24] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: It is a necessity that we do not relish.
[11.06.2018 19:37:40] HMS-Rodney: Holland: I have heard otherwise.
[11.06.2018 19:37:43] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: The other way around ?! Does Liberty mean to deprive us of even more than it already has ?!
[11.06.2018 19:38:08] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: That is not how this works ! All that was sown will be reapt !
[11.06.2018 19:38:21] HMS-Rodney: Holland: I hear of your me gaining great pleasure from seeing my countrymen burning in their wrecks.
[11.06.2018 19:38:25] Mistral: Why do you continue to speak to these..Sirian Savages?
[11.06.2018 19:38:27] HMS-Rodney: // men*
[11.06.2018 19:38:47] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Do you now, captain Holland ? I can't speak for the entirety of my people.
[11.06.2018 19:39:02] HMS-Abundant: Well, looks like we have enemies
[11.06.2018 19:39:08] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: I would assume it natural that some Gallics, aware of the wrongs dealt to them, would enjoy the death of their oppressors.
[11.06.2018 19:39:19] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: But those people are NOT the ones in charge, I assure you.
[11.06.2018 19:39:42] [C]-Ouragan: No the ones in charge are far more derranged.
[11.06.2018 19:39:42] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: The Roi is benevolent, like it or not. He has his ways of ensuring peace and prosperity that differ from that of Liberty.
[11.06.2018 19:39:50] HMS-Rodney: Holland: I hear this, but I do not see it, Miss.
[11.06.2018 19:39:53] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: But he is not a murderous maniac like your propaganda has made him out to be.
[11.06.2018 19:39:57] BRF|HMS-Empress.of.Tau: M: Are you just trying to talk yourself out of this now ? When facing a greater power, the Gallics suddenly become very tame.
[11.06.2018 19:39:58] [C]-Ouragan: His peace is filled with oppression.
[11.06.2018 19:40:09] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: Order. Order and security.
[11.06.2018 19:40:22] HMS-Abundant: Roy: Well then you frogs do like to torture a house or two
[11.06.2018 19:40:26] [C]-Ouragan: Disorder and insecurity are what comes of his word.
[11.06.2018 19:40:26] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: No. I will do what I must, like any Gallic soldier.
[11.06.2018 19:40:35] [C]-Ouragan: Squandering the house over an unattainable goal.
[11.06.2018 19:40:55] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: Very well. Gentlemen, I have finished with my tea.
[11.06.2018 19:41:00] [C]-Ouragan: One that is in fact, already wearing at the advance.
[11.06.2018 19:41:05] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: I would kindly ask you to hurry if you have not.
[11.06.2018 19:41:09] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: You don't now that, Conseillard.
[11.06.2018 19:41:15] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: //know*
[11.06.2018 19:41:17] [C]-Ouragan: Oh but I do.
[11.06.2018 19:41:20] Agresseur: Oh god.... This wont end well
[11.06.2018 19:41:32] [C]-Ouragan: Oui, consider ceasing this unattainable goal.
[11.06.2018 19:41:44] [C]-Ouragan: The Roi is just a child, a child with too much power.
[11.06.2018 19:41:52] Target is a drone owned by LNS-Saipan
[11.06.2018 19:41:57] GG-A-Vulture: Wha... What's going on. I fell asleep.
[11.06.2018 19:42:00] [C]-Ouragan: He has no "divine bloodright".
[11.06.2018 19:42:08] BRF|HMS-Empress.of.Tau: M: Awaiting instructions.
[11.06.2018 19:42:21] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: Empress of Tau, Saipan, this will be a display of the strength of our alliance.
[11.06.2018 19:42:27] [SIS]-Jonas.Hudson: Bomber support, standing by
[11.06.2018 19:42:42] LNS-Papa.Dragon: RO: Papa Dragon, standing by for any interferance.
[11.06.2018 19:42:42] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: And I like that the Empress' name goes well here. The Taus will be reclaimed.
[11.06.2018 19:42:43] BRF|HMS-Empress.of.Tau: M:*He nods* So, Madam on the Temeraire, please prepare for heavy impact.
[11.06.2018 19:42:45] GG-A-Vulture: Gaian support, standing by.
[11.06.2018 19:42:47] MRG|RNS-Le_Temeraire: And what does your Laflamme has ?! Does betrayal make one legitimate ?!
[11.06.2018 19:42:51] GG-A-Vulture: We too matter.
[11.06.2018 19:43:07] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: K: HMS Empress of Tau, LNS Saipan, attack the enemy capital ships. The HMS Sovereign will stay put unless
[11.06.2018 19:43:10] [C]-Ouragan: Well betrayal to save the house carries more legitamacy than feeding into its demise.
[11.06.2018 19:43:13] BAF|HMS-Sovereign: the RNS Bagarreur returns.
