Mademoiselle Dior,

With all due respect, your being an officer of the Royal Forces does not give you the grace of advising nobility on how to do politics. I served with the Navy for 30 years and know that a good soldier has to follow the orders and not think much about them. So, as you said, no games - only honest technical work, which for you is to fight and mind your orders, not the politics.

I have no intention of moving into the Hebrides, so you and your leadership should not be worried about my corporation funding any political movements there. Unless the situation in the Confederacy aggravates to the point I have no choice but to leave - I am planning on staying on Quillan. Same applies to our intended Academy of Sciences that is to be convened first of all to benefit the Barony of Languedoc, should it be successfully created.

As to the crux of the matter you contacted us about - we surely can manufacture a few repair ships and deliver them to the Hebrides as we did in the past with GATs. The sensor system of the battleship surely can be a difficult task but we can look into the matter.

Since you are omitting the question of geological surveying in Roussillon, I assume it is not longer on the agenda.

We will commence the construction of the repair ships to be delivered later on.

Cordialment,
Baron Fabian Montluc
