Christy's - Fine Tea and Delicious Pastries

[Victor Steiner]

Steiner sat, attentively listening to what she had to say, the question he had was why would Gallic remnants bother continuing to operate in Bretonia? There were other unsettling questions as well, if they were fighting then someone must be helping, who that was remained to be seen. In fact, now that she had mentioned it there were a myriad of unusual encounters he had noticed. Auxesians, AI, Gallic survivors and various individuals who frankly had no business operating in Bretonia for the reasons they gave him. No, it was all starting to look like some sort of pattern was forming. While the BIS, Armed Forces and Government overall were focused on Dublin, there was something else at play. Something darker and it would seem that the CDI, for all their ineptitude had more or less stumbled across these patterns.

I don't think these attacks are random, Chief Inspector. I think there are a number of moving parts currently at work here for their own selfish gains. Two weeks ago I encountered a stray Junker called Infernal who was looking for work. One week ago I encountered an Auxesian Venus, five days ago an old asset of the SIS Caliban who tells me that the other two are working close together. Revenant, whom I met while minding my own business in Coronado informs me that Caliban is working for the MND out of Rheinland. To say nothing of your Gallic friends, the Gaians and a new group called the LGN. Nowhere near enough information has been gathered on these people, but they are here and that is concerning enough. All have a vested interest in seeing you, the CDI and Bretonia as a whole fail. He leaned forward, looking at her with renewed vigor and no small amount of concern beneath his otherwise calm exterior Something is going to happen, soon. I don't know what, by whom or where. But it looks to me, in my professional opinion, as though chess pieces are being moved around a board. Your men have seen enough to paint a picture of the players but little more. You need more intelligence and information because right now, with the greatest possible respect, the CDI doesn't stand a chance. Remove the Armed Forces from the equation when they enter Dublin and you will be alone.

Grim as it was, he firmly believed that something needed to be done. Bretonia had strength yet, it was just a matter of finding it and using it to it's fullest extent. What are you going to do? He asked, unsure if she was already aware of the information he provided.
