Bonsoir, mon collègue Capitaine,

It'll be a pleasure to be working alongside you for the first time. The time has finally come for us to do something about this [REDACTED] l'Amiral brought up last time. I trust it we'll be over and done with it speedily and efficiently.

My crews have been briefed on the nature of this operation; as I understand it, it'll be a new challenge for my command, since as you know, my officers and I are more accustomed to raiding commercial convoys in Leeds and Magellan. I will be requiring your e-signature as well to certify documentation, but I've specifically requested that until both of us clear the final report, this expedition will remain off the books. C'est une mission de reconnaissance, pas un raid.

I'm also having the L'Esperance refitted especially for our little trip. I regret that the cloaking module I ordered has not yet arrived, but I suspect we'll manage to make do without it. I'll contact you on a more secure and private channel to discuss the particulars, but I think we should be able to slip in and out undetected if we play our cards right. We'll have two systems to probe, so I don't think we can tarry. Then again, from what I've heard of you, I do not think we shall.

Let's get this over with quickly.

Bordeleaux, out.

[[FIN]]
