Enma Loyola,
It has been a while, but I still remember your promise to swear fealty to the Kingdom. While I appreciate you have other duties, this is most likely the most trialing time yet, and your help is needed. The Belisama has just went through a Council mutiny within the ship, which has damaged a lot of systems that the ship needs to keep running.
We are still on our way to Gallia despite the damage caused, but we're advancing at a snail's pace. We need tools, technicians, or some sort of assistance with bringing it back up to speed due to the urgency of the situation. I'm sure you can source this.
The ship is currently in the Tau-53 system, and this will likely be the case until the systems are fixed.
In the name of the Roi,
Claire Sophie DeFrance de Orleanais

Votre Altesse Royale,
it's a pleasure to hear that Votre Altesse now cares about my duties. Last I remember your highnesses' tone was slightly different. And you declined my service, which was, as you understand, not very pleasing. You are calling for my service when it suits you, your highness. Things seem to be so bad that you even call me. Which, knowing your opinion about the Outcasts, is a clear sign of desperation. Defeat in New London was a major disappointment for me, as I expected for Bretonia to be destroyed. But oh well, can't win them all, I suppose.
Speaking of Outcasts, I am being called a traitor for offering a service to your family, I also lost my position as Guildmistress of the Core for the exact same reason. If I will help you, those things will naturally escalate which will hurt my interests even further. Yet, I haven't gained anything from it and looking at the situation, it's unlikely that I will.
I indeed gave an oath to your father, not under a certain pressure. Not to mention that I was held captive by de Chanteloup, and she's quite good at torturing people... mentally. But from what I hear your father is missing, and many people in your Kingdom have broken their oaths. Even the officers and nobility. And you expect me to keep it in that sort of situation?
I just want you to understand the full picture and you know, maybe I will receive some degree of appreciation since I am going to help you despite all of that. Maybe it's my chance to prove that an Outcast can be a proper chevalier while actual Gauls are betraying you left and right. I used to be in a position similar to yours and I do understand what do you feel very well. Your home is being captured by a bunch of traitors and... you are staying pretty much on your own seemingly against the whole world.
Leaving you in such trouble like that just isn't right, I am sometimes very sentimental yes.
Outcasts are having an Outpost in Tau-53 so we are familiar with this system. I will get some of my best pilots to get there as soon as possible and get your highness into safety. I will still need coordinates and some other technical data.
On the side note, I'd not move back to Gallia in the near future. I thought you would love to meet with Charlotte first. She's still on Malta, since you never bothered to talk to me properly, I had no reason to return her back home. And looking at the current events, maybe it's better for her, at least she's staying safe. But oh well, we can discuss all of it later, need to get you out of there first. Council and other traitors may be more or less informed about your location since you had traitors onboard.

Loyola,
I understand these are troubling times, and this is the biggest test of character and loyalty one can have. I appreciate that many have failed this test, but once Gallia is back to normal, they'll be dealt with and those who stayed true will be showered in fame and rewards.
Charlotte was always in my list, but the King has ordered everyone to concentrate on the war effort. There were people assigned to find her, but that appears to have went unsuccessfully. She has to return with me to Gallia, we will need all the help we can get to beat back the Council on the way to IDF.
Please find attached coordinates, along with the plotted course.

Votre Altesse Royale,
data received. My best people and I will head to sector B-5 and RV with you there. For now, I would advise against moving to the direction of Lorraine gate. If you want to live and return back home in glory you better not be playing a hero. It's understandable that you have used to have a giant fleet behind your back, but at the moment there's no anything like it.
My suggestion is that we get to Lentini outpost and plan the operation from there. At the very least we will have to make a recon of the jump gate that you intend to head to. If it happens to be not under royalist control, I'm afraid I have no forces to launch an assault against the gates and then for the fights inside of this system. And even if I had, I would not, it's not our modus operandi and it's still a suicide attack in the long run.
I have no opportunity to bring Charlotte with me. She's far out from your current location and I'm afraid there's no time to pick her up. Nor I can provide proper security all along the way in such a short term.
Votre Altesse, this will be a long game of your family returning back to power, and there's no place for the rushed decisions. In any event, I am on my way.
