Joyous days.

We anticipate a fifty two point seven percent likelihood that any and all negotiations between Rheinland and the GMG are doomed to die, and the sigmas will once again open to exploitation by Kruger - as they should be. That is the informal estimate.

It’s better odds than Vegas. Yet we plan to stack the deck.

The Arbeitsdirektorate is searching for a two-hundred and eighty seven picowatt sub-molecular resonater. It’s the largest mining laser manufactured in the five houses, and Kruger are the primary manufacturer. We believe, with sufficient coaxing, and if smuggled down to a planetary surface, it could make for… quite the earthquake cannon – although, that is
none of your concern.



I believe you’re well aware of the capabilities of that device. The Red Hessians employ it as the basis of their SMB1 “Ragnarok” anti-capital artillery. They always were such unsophisticated savages, lacking foresight.

Here’s what’s in it for Kruger. We’re willing to make a physical hardware exchange. You obtain us the laser, and we will set up a piracy altercation – intercept the transport, fake an exchange, ecetera. What the transport will leave with is the location of an ‘Oder’ class gunboat, still in serviceable condition, abandoned on the sudnebel, not far from planet Manheim. The vessel will be stripped of all Unioner murals and identifiers.

There is no inherent risk for Kruger. If the Federalists take an interest,you have the evidence to "prove" our theft of the device.

For the memory of the Empire, Kruger - and the hope we may live in it once again.
