Amirals,
After much deliberation I have decided to distribute these tapes to you, it details instructions and information from Amiral Chanteloup shortly before she went MIA. I believe you two will be able to act on this information better than I, now that the civil war has decided to fizzle out I am largely out of the fight for now.
We must make a decision now, either remain with the Enclave in Aquitaine, or return to Gallia and integrate into either the Duche de Bourgogne or the newly formed Republique. I personally believe our best course of action would be to return and fly under the banner of Valentin Trintignant de Bourgogne. The Royale Enclave is a dead end, viciously clinging to the Mad King to their likely deaths. The Republique I do not trust those in power to take radical actions against men and women merely serving their homeland, I’d expect those in the Duchy to not be held back by the actions and whims of the king yet understand and appreciate the traditions of the Marine Royale. It is ultimately up to you two how we precede, you are at Aquitaine and are in the best situation to act.
This will likely be the last communication you receive from me for a time, I will more than likely be placed under constant surveillance and house arrest by the authorities of Il-De-France until the situation regarding Marine Royale is resolved.
