[To]:Mr. Jack Henderson, IMG| [From]:Adrienne Perry, SIS [Subject]:H-Fuel [Encryption]: High
Dear Mr. Jack Henderson,
My name is Adrienne Perry, I work for a branch of the Bretonian Foreign Office, Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service. With the growing crisis in the Sigmas, I have been tasked with ensuring that Bretonia's energy needs are secured. We are currently in contact with a third party that may be able to smuggle large quantities of H-Fuel out to Bretonia, however we will need to conceal the Bretonian government's involvement.
Said third-party would be willing to smuggle the H-Fuel out to the Battleship Hood and to the South Shields Gas Refinery for general distribution throughout Bretonia. Naturally, since you will be increasing your refinement of H-Fuel and increasing sales via the Hood, the profits would be in your hands. The SIS is merely concerned with making sure that the price of H-Fuel does not become unaffordable to Bretonian citizens. As long as we are able to keep the supply of H-Fuel in Bretonia high our objective has been achieved.
If this business opportunity interests you then I can patch in our third party to this channel. I would also like to implore you to keep this transmission confidential. Thank you & please get back to me at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Adrienne Perry, Chief of Staff,
Secret Intelligence Service, Bretonia
The Guild shares the worries about the Sigma crisis and what it could mean for the supply of H-Fuel. Especially in times of crisis, when the Sirian side is dependent on this fuel and the attacker from Gallia is not, this question becomes one of life and death really fast. As a born Bretonian citizen, this is also personal for me.
As for your plan: The Bretonian part of the IMG represented by myself is glad that we are able to prove again that we assist the Bretonian effort against the Gallic invaders inside the limitations that our difficult situation in the occupied Taus allows.
The SIS operation to guarantee an unofficial source of H-Fuel coming into Bretonia has the Guild's interest and the Bretonian branch's support. I will make sure to get this done.
South Shields is perfect to conceal the true nature because the Guild can just claim to increase production due to high demand, while in reality we distribute the H-Fuel that is coming via your contractors. The Battleship Ark Royal that is there might be a problem for the shippers.
Battleship Hood is so far in the periphery of Bretonia that discreet access should not be a problem for experienced contractors, whoever they might be.
In both instances, I would appreciate it if SIS kept an eye on BAF and BPA actions targetting these operations (without knowing they are actually chasing after a SIS effort) and if you sent me a warning in case of any potential disturbances of the operation. By minimizing the risk of exposure, we would also be able to keep the profit margin on our side to a minimum - which again would be good for Bretonia and as a consequence also for the IMG.
You have my support, Ms. Adrienne Perry, and I am looking forward to getting into contact with the party that offered itself to run the dangerous shipments. You can fully count on the discretion of myself and the personnel I'll be tasking with this operation on the Guild's side - there is a lot at stake for the Guild whenever we assist Bretonia against Gallia.
Yours sincerely,
Jack Henderson

[To]:Mr. Jack Henderson, IMG| [From]:Adrienne Perry, SIS [Subject]:RE: H-Fuel [Encryption]: High
Dear Mr. Jack Henderson,
I am grateful that the IMG| and the Bretonian government see eye to eye on this. We will take your recommendations to the Bretonian government to see if we can limit the interference of the H-Fuel smuggling operation from the Bretonian lawful forces. However, if there are third parties who witness the H-Fuel smuggling in the presence of the BAF| or the BPA) then we don't have much choice but to have to let them enforce the law in order to keep the smuggling op a secret from the general public.
I have patched in Daimyo Kijima of the Tears of Izanagi, and the Blood Dragons into the this channel. I believe some of your crew may or may not have already met his men however.
Sincerely,
Adrienne Perry, Chief of Staff,
Secret Intelligence Service, Bretonia
ENCRYPTION: High PRIORITY: High TARGET ID:Jack Henderson, IMG - Adrienne Perry, SIS SUBJECT:H-fuel SENDER CODENAME:Daimyo Kijima
Hello Adrienne, Jack,
Jack Henderson, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. This isn't our first run in with your organization, in fact IMG are responsible for $10,000,000 in donations to our cause and we would like to see that number increase with time. With that in mind, you can expect my pilots to be at least amicable to any IMG crew they deal with. Our logistics core aren't experienced smugglers and are more attuned to the day to day supplying of our fleet demands and projects, this said most dragons know their way through the Taus and we have already completed a successful trial run, two large dragon vessels made it to Battleship hood with relative ease and I have been informed that the Whiskey that station sells is highly sought after in the Sigmas. So please ensure that stocks are kept high during this operation.
Adrienne Perry as previously mentioned the Logistic fleet are prepped and ready to go. Expect H-fuel to be delivered to the preferred location of Battleship Hood once both you and Jack have confirmed you have the capacity for it. As a point of reference, what is the supply-demand here? how much fuel do you want to stockpile?
[To]:IMG| & {ToI}/BD| [From]:Adrienne Perry, SIS [Subject]:RE: H-Fuel [Encryption]: High
Dear Daimyo Kijima & Mr. Henderson,
The Bretonian government has been informed of this operation and the BPA) and BAF| have given us their assurances that they will not interfere. The battleship Ark Royal, approximately 4K away from South Shields, has orders to stand down if it sees any Blood Dragon ships delivering H-Fuel to the refinery.
Daimyo Kijima, all we need is for you to deliver as much H-Fuel as you can. I am sure you have the logistical capacity to fulfill Bretonia's H-Fuel needs during this pressing time, in coordination with our other sources.
In any case, this operation has been approved and may begin whenever the two of your organisations are ready. I hope you gentlemen enjoy doing business together.
Sincerely,
Adrienne Perry, Chief of Staff,
Secret Intelligence Service, Bretonia
I completely understand the limits of protection that SIS operations can provide, especially whenever third parties are present. However, now that I see who that delivering party is, I have confidence that situations like the one you described can be avoided rather easily - especially given the locations of the IMG installations. I'd like to thank you for your professional handling of the operation and I will make sure that the IMG's part of it will be executed just as professionally as the SIS part was.
Dear Daimyo Kijima,
I'd like to extend the Guild's warm greetings towards you and your group. I did not expect you to start so quickly. I have immediately ordered the docking master of the Hood to clear Section B, stern docking bay, for you. It can be accessed easily and from the far side of the system. Hood even provides cover from vision and some sensors by means of obstructing sight. Hood docking masters promised to free 20.000 units in the next 24 hours, and up to 50.000 units in 72 hours. So, I can say: Get the H-Fuel rolling our way. In case you are interested in aquiring Gold ore for the journey back, call on the IMG Emergency frequencies, so we can send you a miner or two.
I am looking forward to this endeavour taking shape and providing relief in a difficult situation. May things work out well.
Yours sincerely,
Jack Henderson
