The loss of the Gwent has come as a major surprise to all of us at the Service. We fear that it was our foolish belief that the Red Hessians could be trusted. For this reason we ask you for the last known location of the Hessian Battleship Kassel and we request the temporary command of one or two battlecrusiers. Allow us to correct this mistake we have made.
The Hessians must pay for their treachery, in blood.

I have been locked in battle against Hessians, IMG, ALG and Gauls for the better part of the day. They are trying to halt the advance of the Norfolk in any way they can, and are failing. We will be knocking at Aland's doors soon and we will stop at nothing until the orders we have received are completed. For once, we are not the ones with a <1 battle attrition ratio.
And while you and I know how very well that every fiber of my being screams for their blood, we cannot afford to deviate from the set path Bretonia has taken. The shipyard is more important to our House than following the Hessians into the space they know too well. Meaning the Kassel's last known location was when it managed to jump to Omega-5.
The damage I have delivered to it was more than significant. If it isn't already done in by the Corsairs, it will take more than months to get it back into shape, never mind the rest of the support forces it had as they were utterly destroyed covering its escape. The Kassel battle-group is effectively out of commission for months to come.
As for Omega-5, it is an obvious danger for capital class vessels flown by outsiders. Our men would be out of their element and at the mercy of those who battle in it. My take on either its probable location or the route it took was either to Omega-7, or fled using the F/G vector of direction. Only Omega-52 has the necessary safety and shipyard to repair it nearby.
Which means the Coalition. They are allies. I estimate that not only your chances of success are slim to none, you also risk endangering, or even ending the frail peace that was achieved in Sydney. With that in mind, I would suggest that contact with other parties, ones that cannot be traced to Bretonia, to be done.
Be in control, Director. No matter how much it hurts. No matter how much blood we have lost. Your request has been transferred to the Admiralty Board, but I am preparing two London Interdictors, HMS-Slapper and HMS-Tigris. With them I will throw six veteran wings, the 67th Calvary, so that if the order is positive, they are released immediately under SIS command.
And do not be afraid. They will bleed aplenty for what they did.
The shackles that confine me will be released when I my eyes see Aland.
For Bretonia.

Good day.
To finalize Operation Chrysalis, I need ten thousand tons of Hydrogen Cyanide. Traceless operational costs are not a problem and deployment equipment and assets are already prepared. Waiting for your reply.
For Bretonia.

Thank you for the swift delivery. However, I am not looking to drag more people into a war-crime tribunal. If a head is to rest on the chopping block, it shall be mine alone. I will see you when this come to a close.
