Gladius et Incursus.

The ace snapped Yvonne out of her attention at the data tablet. I guess he really was quite different to the rest of them, perhaps because he hadn't let the time he served in the Legion sink into his character? Or perhaps it was just a high command trait? She couldn't really be sure which of the two it was.

[indent]"On the shelves behind you'll find some of Stuttgart's work and a few glasses."

The shelves had a few bottles of Stuttgart wine and some glasses accompanying them. The wine was of fine quality, stolen and then sold all around Rheinland on the black market. After all, when you're having important guests you have to treat them good.

Her glance moved back to the table and the people there as she began listening to what the Admiral had to say. She waited for him to finish and then gave herself some time to think over her answer.

[indent]"Things have changed a bit since last time we saw Task Force Gladius, Admiral. I'll just list things chronologically. Battleship Westfalen has been taken back by the Rheinwehr and that put an end to Liberty's aggressive assaults. There even was a short while where both sides seemed to just try and collect themselves and regroup numbers in which there were nearly no skirmishes by neither side. That of course changed as Rheinland managed to develop cloaking devices with which they continued their offensive campaign over Texas. Though from reports there haven't been many counter attacks from the Liberty Navy, even if most of these Texas assaults tend to end up unsuccessful for the Rheinlanders... I could go into detail for each of this if you'd like."

She leaned forward on the table, waiting for his response.
