Renaud was greeted not by the Admiral, but by a Captain. Admiral Van Der
Loo's Chief of Staff.
"I am sorry Admiral Renaud, but Admiral Van Der Loo is unavailable. He is in
the middle of a conference call with Planetary Defence Force Headquarters.
They are talking about the progress of the search for the missing marines and
Captain Boulay. He asked me to relay that information to you, and to tell you
that he will contact you as soon as his call is complete." answered the
Captain on the comm line.
