Subject: Plans regarding Leeds and the Gallic war Recipient: The Admirals of the BAF [only] Encryption: Unbreakable Sender: Timothy Clark Rank: Captain in the sec. fleet Position: Dreadnought "LNS-Kiel"
Greetings Admirals,
I will explain myself shortly: I'm Captain Timothy Clark of the Dreadnought-class "LNS-Kiel". I'm 36 years old and plan to throw out Gallia off Magellan, maybe with your and other help out of Bretonia.
I'm stationed in California and sometimes in Magellan. During my time there I never faced a GRN ship, so it is very quiet. This makes me think that the Gallics have another target in sight and they don't care much about their defense in Magellan or even Leeds.
I will keep an eye on the situation there and give you every information that I can get.
To the information that I request, naturally I don't want to know your tactics or something like that, just if you are ready and if you are willing to face the Gallics if neccessary.

Admiral Sir Hall,
Good to hear this!
I will wait for the Navy to respond, they are the last who maybe respond. But good to hear.
As for the preparations I will open it to the Liberty Navy First and Fifth Fleet, maybe they see it now.
I hope Admiral Jones will respond soon, that I can prepare everything that he can stay on the more important tasks.
Maybe you can tell me what the BAF things about a combination of our forces, like an infinite and independent alliance to attack and defeat any threat in Sirius, giving conquering houses and pirates no chance of success? Defeating every organization who claim territory of houses that they are not supposed to do? Like Gallia take claim on the Taus, Leeds and Edinburgh?
Regards,
Timothy Clark

Subject: Treaty of Curacao Recipient: Admiral Sir George Richard Hall Encryption: Unbreakable Sender: Timothy Clark Rank: Captain in the sec. fleet Position: Dreadnought "LNS-Kiel"
Admiral Sir Hall,
naturally I got informed, but I thougt about something bigger, like a fleet that is put together by all forces who want to join, a division that is lead by me and uses tech from all members.
To give an example: Rheinland wants to join the Forces, I name it the "Combined Forces" from now, or shortly "Combine". With their Battleships the "Combine" have more power to operate against any threat that harms life in Sirius, first only in the members' space and borders. But, in case the Crayterians and the Council are willing to join, they could count on "Overlord"-classes and "Dunkirk"-classes in their war. On the other hand we can count on their Battleships in fighting our threats, like your Molly-problem and our Outcast-problem.
Oh my... Admiral Sir Hall... i respectfully ask for your forgiveness concerning this Captain. I have warned him about speaking politics with our allies with out speaking to us first. I do hope he has not caused you or your Admirals any discomfort.
Captain, i have warned you about speaking to our allies with our proper authorization. What gives you the right to speak to two different Admirals of other Houses? We have a chain of command for a reason, i wont warn you again. You are starting to cross the line.
Subject: My Messages Recipient: Commodore Kalh Encryption: Unbreakable Sender: Timothy Clark Rank: Captain in the sec. fleet Position: Dreadnought "LNS-Kiel"
Commodore,
I recieved it and read it, please make sure that you read mine. I told you that I sent the first message before your message arrived me, and I cannot stay there and see how the GRN take power for a new strike. My first message that I sent was to the Navy, but I never recieved anything. So I have to ask for the other allies of ours for their plans, because it is about the safety of my crew, Liberty and Sirius.
Subject:Help for you Recipient: Admirals of the BAF Encryption: Unbreakable Sender: Timothy Clark Rank: Captain in the sec. fleet Position: Dreadnought "LNS-Kiel"
Greetings Admirals,
I just want to let you know that Fleet Admiral Jones told me that if want to help you, then I could join the Navy forces at the Southampton Shipyard. So I will move my ship there.
