Chevalier and...Princess DeFrance, both of these people are known to me, as are their whereabouts. It's highly interesting that this man...this D'Aramis would just...show up out of the blue, not to mention that he claims to be The Black King, Head of Gallia's Naval Intelligence service.
You should have detained this man, Polstari...but let's forget about that for now.
I imagine that you recorded the autopsy data and any other materials shown to you? I'll want to review anything you have, personally. So then, a conference in neutral territory? Normally I would imagine this to be some sort of trap, but if the Colonials are willing to play host, I will absolutely consider sending a group of Naval Officers to attend. With the presence of Colonial, Bretonian, and Libertonian military ships and personnel, I don't believe the Gallics would be capable of trapping anyone anywhere.
In the mean time,
I would like you to attempt further contact, and to gain access to that Gallic ship, in order to record whatever data it's captain is willing to share. I have seen reports regarding some of the things this D'Aramis mentioned to you, and if he can in fact confirm that things are as bad as they seem...then it is imperative that we speak to him in detail, and gain whatever knowledge he may have. As head of Gallia's Office of Naval Intelligence, I'm sure he'll have quite a lot to talk about, hopefully without much arm twisting.
I trust that you understand the severity of this situation Polstari, whether you want to believe it or not. It isn't a pleasant thought in the least, but there is some truth to what that Gallic man said to you. It falls on us, to find out just how severe...their presence in Gallic government really is. You and I both know what happened in this sector not too long ago.
