Bonsoir monsieur Vicomte Pierre Vincent Dupetit-Thouars de Plateau des Coucous,

moi, l'amiral de Justéton, sends you this message to bother you with some work since you do not much more than drinking wine all day with your companions while being recorded.
Oui. Je suis pushing this nuissance off of me, down on you. And I have redoutable reasons for that!
Oui, because I have difficulties keeping the names of personnes sans importance in mind. Just as the name of the one working for the logistics branch.
So I am not asking you, this is not a request or whatever. This is an order!
Monsieur Thouars, the pride of the grandest of all the militaries, oui, our Battleships are still shiny, but our stock of repair materials at the front is not!

Here is a list of the goods in need:

Spoiler

Engine Components 5.000
Ablative Armor Plating 40.000
Bio - Neutral Arrays 2.000
Energy Field Equipment 10.000
High Performance Alloy 20.000
Ship Hull Panels 20.000
Ultralloy 10.000
Wine 10.000

In the light of this, Monsieur Capitaine de Vaisseau, find someone in the logistics branch to push this on!
I want our corporates, IDFS, GMS, or whichever to deliver these materials as soon as possible!
Set special compensations on the goods if needed.


On Behalf,

Sincèrement
de Justéton, Jean Yves Patrice, amiral
Le cannonier de Marine Royal Gauloise

Honneur et Patrie, Valeur et Discipline. Pour le Roi.

Contre-Amiral,

Where precisely do these goods need to be delivered and who will pay for it? I am merely a vicomte, and I obviously cannot even cover a fraction of the costs, unless my property is increased and I am made a comte.

PS: That wine was looted from a Council ship.

Bonsoir monsieur Vicomte Pierre Vincent Dupetit-Thouars de Plateau des Coucous,

when I think of a man, standing there full of pride. A loyal man, wearing the laurels of la nation on his shoulders, of the highest ranks in the marine. A rank only a few can be proud of inheritating. A symbol of determination, absolute perfection, years of experience and hard work for all his life.
From that man I expect that he is capable of using his intellect to review his given orders carefully, to think of a solution for his task before again bothering his superior for his inability.

Since this is urgent I will let this slip once and tell you what you seem to have missed.

Nowhere in the transmission I stated that you have to think up the prices or to pay those yourself. Nowhere I stated that you need to send a request for the materials to the corporates yourself.
For the love of le Roi, I even said that you are to find some peasant of our logistical branch to handle with this. The best option for you would be to send a transmission streight to this branch.
And now about where to send those. As obvious as it is, I will still be merciful enough to tell you. Since Magellan is our actual main front and the place from where I sent this transmission it should be very obvious to which battlegroup these materials are to be delivered.

Maybe you should watch what you drink, because it seems as if your... potential... did not combine well with your Council's wine.



On Behalf,

Sincèrement
de Justéton, Jean Yves Patrice, amiral

Contre-Amiral,

It is, indeed, my and only my tendency for enjoying the spoils of war that is at fault. You have and always have relayed all your ingenious plans perfectly. You can be assured that what you have ordered will be accomplished zealously.
