Bonjour,
We haven't spoken in a while - do you know what is going on in the Tau-53 system?
We are seeing a massive spike in Kusari Naval Forces' activity, they seem to be tampering with the jump gate to Lorraine, their presence is making it hard for us to supply Lapalisse.
They are some piece of work let me tell you, oui. Because of your KNF the former royalists are back in power... They target the Confeds under dubious pretense and when the actual former royalists return they sign treaties with their Union and now they try to lock us in and cut us from support from Sirius and aid the Gallic Union's xenophobic isolationist agenda?
Do you have any information on the matter? Any plans to strike them we could assist in? Would you be willing to aid in supplying Lapalisse in the meantime like in the good old days?
We have grown rather distant in the time between your last message to me. For one reason or another, we haven't heard much from you. Perhaps you've been prioritizing actions within Gallia until recently. But I digress. We have been and will always be closely monitoring the activity of the KNF and will bring the fight to them whenever it is necessary to do so. Whenever we can spare the units to intercept and destroy them. As for their presence in Tau-53, we haven't seen them as a major threat to our activities. In fact, the distraction that Gallia is for them is beneficial to our operations. We do have information on their fleet movements, however. as you inquire. It seems they aren't yet satisfied with the punishment dealt to the Gallic nation thus far. According to espionage intelligence, They have been reinforcing the Kyushu border and sending battlegroups into the Tau sector. To what end, I am not certain. But their trajectory appeared to be directed towards the border of Gallia.
You mentioned plans to strike their expeditionary forces. There are none at the moment, because of what I stated earlier. However, if you require our aid, we can draw joint plans and operate strike forces as far as Tau-53, Tau-23, and Tau-29, to intercept their groups. If it is supplying you seek as well, we can bring certain supplies, you just need to tell us what it is you require. But I seek recompense for diverting from our primary objectives.
Is there something in return that you may have in mind? At the moment, we could use a surplus of war supplies on Tomioka. And of course, who else is armed to the teeth if not the deadly Maquis of Gallia?

Right now we are in need of supplies - any kind - food, weapons, you name it - we have stirred trouble in Lorraine and now your Naval Forces are all over the place in 53 - can you deliver whatever you think can keep Lapalisse running to the base? I can throw 100,000,000 million your way we repatriated from corporate collaborators for whatever quantities you find fair for the price - the base has long been the symbol of Dragon and Maquisard cooperation, if you can help out it would be amazing!
We can talk about exchanges after that - supplying our heroes would be most appreciated!
Fine. I'll bail you and Lapalisse out of trouble. We know tricks that will keep the forces off us. You mentioned food and weapons. However, any other things you need delivered should be requested by you. To make this easier on both of us, I would prefer the specific commodities and precise amounts that you require, and I'll see if I can get our logistics team to do it. Otherwise, We will simply deliver what we deem fit as you say. The next message from us will be the confirmation of deliveries.

We had a recent encounter with Kusari Naval Forces in the Taus. We have managed to capture two of their pilots. One of them, who was piloting a ship named Tsubaki, claimed that he was "not exactly just a rank and file 'officer'". Don't know anything about the other pilot. We have no use for them, they're taking up space in our holding cells (and we don't have too many of these mind you), and they keep complaining about how the food we are serving them do not meet their standards. As such, we are offering them to our esteemed allies. You may deal with them as you wish. Given the recent discussions about Lapalisse Depot, I believe Tau-53 would be an ideal place to meet.
*Muffled voices in the background*
I look forward to hearing from you. Please excuse me...
Mr. Jacobin, a transfer will be arranged promptly to receive the prisoners and take them to where we can properly 'make use' of them. Additionally, this communication will remain open for all Dragons to make reports on the aforementioned delivery agreement.

Excuse me - I have received images from the system. Did any of ours do this? Just what happened over there?
It seems to be even harder to supply our base now, Jacobin you are there already - I am putting you in charge, please secure the deliveries with Shogun Ubukata Tsuya along with the prisoner handover, consider yourself in charge of Lapalisse and it's needs on behalf of The Front for the time being. We will wire you whatever money you think you think the Dragons deserve to hand over.
Author: Michael Jacobin Subject: Delivery confirmation
Bonjour,
I confirm receipt of the aforementioned supplies at Lapalisse. The Front is happy to pay for deliveries as they occur. Please forward the account number of the bank account the funds should be wired to, and I will ensure that the funds are sent.
