Hey there Klugmann.

I couldn't help but notice you have a little backdoor issue with the Core, and, well, to my interest, maybe we can work something out together? Mmm?

Anyway, allow me to get to the point.

I'd hate for our people to get into a mess with Rheinland, and we've seen that your people are at the mercy of the Core's arsenal in Luneburg. So perhaps, with some form of compensation, that we can come in to help remedy this little issue of yours, and even around other locations in Sirius.

Your people aren't known for being fighters, and perhaps it'll allow you to take the pressure off so you can focus on the incident of Nuremberg if we distract the Core enough?

Either way, I'm interested to hear your input on this.

Regards,
S. Raven

"Keeper" Raven,

While I appreciate your willingness to aid us against our backdoor situation, I must take moderate umbrage at the notion that the Bundschuh aren't fighters. The Party has stood resolute against nigh-insurmountable odds and almost infinite opposition and manpower for more than a century, without selling its soul in the process.

Nevertheless... Even I will admit that our current situation is precarious. I'd certainly like to be able to direct the Central Committee's attention towards the monumental task ahead of us instead of juggling Federal attacks, Unioner attacks, Core attacks, and the necessity to keep political pressure applied to as much of Rheinland as possible.

I do hate to deal in such absolutes, but the larger majority of our support and what amenities, ship and hardware maintenance, and the like we can offer tends only to be availible to those willing to actively take a stand against the Rogue Bundesrepublik. The Party simply cannot afford to be too careful.

If you're still interested in aiding us against your former employers, we can at present offer credential compensation for the "trimming" of The Core's assets within Luneburg and Omicron Rho should incursions call for it. You'll find a Neural Net frequency enclosed; it will be updated to more accurately and comprehensively represent compensation against The Core within twenty-four hours.

I sincerely apologise for my pathetic wording, as I was under the influence during the times that I originally sent the communication.

What I meant to say is that your people aren't as large as the Core with such large 'fighting' assets - warships. And that help, especially with releasing some pressure against some of the many fronts that the VWA has, might be resourceful for you.

As you know about the incidents in Omicron Delta, our focus was set there to help out the local Zoner populace, which caused our delay on the registration and area of focus.

Coming to the point, our fleet assets have moved to the Koeln system. Our main assets temporarily on guard right now in the Wildspitzefeld Field to repair and to stand ground as a temporary holdout. I openly invite your people to the holdout point should you seek safety, or a place to refuel and restock or to trade with our logistics vessels supply cache, should their commodities from our fleet's journey across Sirius bring interest to the pilots eye.

Regards,
S. Raven

Raven,

Any and all help that you might offer would be highly appreciated. Koeln is a viable system to base yourself from; sparsely patrolled and backwater. If you're willing to actively take a role in helping us fend off The Core's incursions into Luneburg, then I'd be more than willing to persuade the Central Committee to grant you access and refuge in our Luneburg and Munich holdings. Both would be ideal for hiding a capital-class vessel.

To my understanding, you're now in possession of a Letter of Marque against both The Core and the rogue Bundesrepublik on behalf of the Widerstandsarmee. Do keep us informed as to your progress there.
