Subject: Platform Open Network's Opening


Good morning,

This transmission post is to indicate the opening of the Platform Open Network, which, should you be considered among its numbers, you should now have access to. You may freely post replies and reports here, and are encouraged to do so particularly in regards to gleaned opportunities, operations and combat engagements, and anything else that might be of interest to the movement on an inter-cell scale. The better we can coordinate our efforts despite the encouragement of our diversity, the better for all of us--And hopefully, for Rheinland and beyond.

I'll submit an example message template as an attachment to this missive, but you're free to use any readable template you see fit.

[+]Template

Please watch this space for both a Strategic Briefing from yours truly and Klugmann, as well as a forthcoming speech transcript from the latter. To newcomers to the movement and wider struggle, I believe both together will answer the wider questions of what we're fighting for to the satisfaction of most.

To that end, I look forward to fighting and serving alongside you all.

Subject: Mecklenburg prison break








Operational log, CS, status report on the aftermath of the Mecklenburg prison break on 10.12.831 18:00.

It has been a few days after the Platform strike teams executed the prison break from Hammersee's orbital complex. A pair 'DM' and Gloaming flotilla heavy support ships took advantage of the Unioner and Corsair raid on the same station... It has been a while since we've dived in the depths of the local conflicts head on against the imperials that the 'DM' were hesitant to restart the bloodshed yet our fireteams were ready to board the station for frontline combat; the same can't be said for the crew of the GFS-Heydenrei beating their hearts for battle as they were willing to join along in our defence from stellar-bound threats. Arriving on the scene showed signs of a hot mess, the Unioners and Corsairs were already exchanging heavy fire with the Military, Police and Agency QRF teams that had responded to their prison break attempt. We took advantage of a window of opportunity for us to sneak in and around the firefight, as the Unioners were already attempting to fly away with their prisoner haul and we're dragging a large majority of the QRF team with them.

Thanks to previous intelligence provided by Guy Sajer of the GFS-Heydenrei on both the penal colony and the orbital installation, we were able to identify a route around Hammersee and Mecklenburg's defence systems to ensure the safest path in and out. Once we'd clamped around the airlock of Mecklenburg, the breaching charges we used (supplied by Lena and her corporate supply network) were perfect for violent entry to several sections of Mecklenburg.

Once onboard there was an amazing amount of bodies and confusion, with the fleeing of the previous Corsair transport we met little resistance upon entry to the complex but heading closer to the prison blocks we met a sudden rise of security. Our boarding party was composed of three fireteams: Gamma, Delta, Psi. With myself attacked to Psi, we took the initial security by surprise as they were trying to imprison any stragglers that had attempted to break free, fireteam gave them a chance to drop their weapons, we were met with responding gunfire immediately. Fireteams responded as similar and treated any further encounters with security personnel, Gamma and Psi were tasked with trying to locate and rally we filtered an amount of unknowingly desperate, unjustly imprisoned and Bundschuh sympathetic into our escape and take measures to secure an escape route.

Unfortunately fireteam Delta's further foray into the isolation cells took heavy fire, key individuals that we deemed VIP were in the middle of being checked for their presence by the security team. Delta initially held a stalemate, I'm told we lost 3 Thuringians in the clearing of the Isolation cells as they didn't hesitate to push due to our limited time. Once they'd cleared the section of VIP's and KIA Platformers for extraction they rendezvoused with us while we were filtering the last of the 'liberated' prisoners through while security teams began to trickle in from other sections of the prison complex. We found ourselves retreating under heavy fire resulting in 26 injured prisoners that... Well they were running, not fighting... And they fired at them like a shooting gallery. We lost 2 more Thuringians who covered the tail of the extraction, along with rescuing injured prisoners in the firefight.

Escape got hairy once we sealed the airlocks and force-demoored from the station, we damaged our port airlock during the escape, but thanks to supporting cover from the (=)GFS-Heydenre, Sajer and his crew managed to keep our ship covered the second we docked to the moment we cleared the station. Imperial QRF teams were just about responding to our presence as we cleared ourselves at full impulse initially. Sajer managed to screen our frigate from incoming fire, I'll owe him drink for discouraging any further disruption attempts on our cruise engines. While the top layer took some plasma scorching from the stations defensive systems, we got out without any further injuries.

[+]Ship logs

Platformers are assisting in recovery and humanitarian efforts on Bielefled, this is to support and flow the distribution of those rescued from Mecklenburg to other areas of space or to support their recovery. Several have found shelter under the platform, but also to build a manifest of those appropriate that are willing to aid our cause. But I must request any platform personnel able to aid in the effort of a temporary increase of human essential resources being delivered to Bielefeld Base this includes but is not limited to: Food, Water, Medical, clothing and other consumables.

Subject: Whaling prep


Pre-flight reports; February 24th, 834 AS. 0401 hours.

My personal Sabre has been fully retrofitted to use recovered Rheinland Military weapons and some live-fire tests have confirmed that everything is in working order. Commander Howe will be delivering a sermon in the chapel for all those who are interested in attending, though those already parked at Wichter will likely not make it in time. He's busy selecting a fitting reading right now, hence why I'm doing the pre-flight reports rather than him.

The Klaxon has been fitted with the new siege weaponry, though we have yet to have a chance to test it. Here's hoping that all the thermocouples work and the energy fields don't breach containment. Auxiliary thrusters are at 67% capacity; QM Schlesinger says it'll be good enough for whatever rag-tag defense these "neutral" morons manage to throw together. Starboard reactor containment is a weak point for us right now, with armor struts severely corroded due to our recent deployment in the Walker and exacerbated by the hyperspace jump back to Frankfurt, so we're essentially hoping and praying that OPFOR just happens not to target that section until we hear back from Wichter about some emergency refits.

I expect to see everyone who's in fighting shape at the operation in a few hours. We'll need every available hand to make sure this eviction goes smoothly.

Subject: Intelligence report - The Order








"CS here, got some news so listen in.

"Intelligence and analyst teams on Tennstedt have corroborated with intelligence supplied by Platform cells on recent actions by the organization known as The Order. If anyone hasn't been to our front of Bundschuh concern, they're a household name in xeno-alien related operations and usually carry a enigmatic stigma when dealing with them. Undoubtedly veterans to the Bundschuh will know them as the powerful and unyielding hand that assisted the Botzler's specialist attack force in toppling Chancellor Niemann and his dictatorial takeover of the Federal Republic in 801A.S. They've been an open supplier to the wider Bundschuh in terms of aid and arms, a frequent ally in combat operations during the opposition to the post-war Federal Republic and have kept the early malicious intentions of the Core mercenaries from spilling in.

"As you probably know, the Platform was involved in a recent skirmish in Sigma-15 consisting of Corsairs, Rheinland Law Enforcement, Order, Nomad entities. While the region has a high degree of instability and conflict, the Corsairs and Order seem to have an agreement that apparently triumphs whatever the Bundschuh held for decades. Now they turn their guns on someone they've known as a symbol of trust within the Bundschuh unless we co-operate with them without question at the cost of our own people."

"We can't take these actions lightly, a word given and then broken in an act of violence in a short time has forced us to re-evaluate the reliability and trust we can obtain from the Order enough that we are advising a general caution on presence of The Order within Rheinland and areas of concern. We are encouraging pilots to file reports to the Open Network If you encounter any suspicious and hostile activities concerning any Order affiliated vessels.

"On an additional note concerning this subject, I've had the enjoyment of conversing with an Order| agent some time ago... While I felt it was nothing more than my personal dislike for the Order, in hindsight it may be of some relevance to those who wish to know about the organization we call our 'allies' towards our political goals. Some of my concerns may be identified as serious ethical conflict and should be considered a serious threat the foundation and future of what we deem right... But I won't decide that for you. You'll also have to excuse my faux ignorance... Usually the best way to get the truth out of someone."

Subject: Intelligence report - Division 7








"CS here again, I think all of you better get used to my Intelligence updates if you haven't already.


DM intelligence obtained information of a new organisation within the MND called "Division-7". Insider assets have pointed towards a large amount of detail missing in the background of this organisation and any of our current IFF databases indicates that their transponders are not currently in active service of MND intelligence or being masked by covert devices, at this moment of time we are unable to confirm the identity of these agents but I will continue to advise anyone to report on the activities of any suspected intelligence operative attempting to contact us or their actions within our areas of operation. We've also noted that the organisation has contacted the Platform and wider Bundschuh for the reasons of "getting to know us", recommend you don't say anything until we've clarified any further details... I don't want to find out our loose lips are responsible for them having a listed profile on us and others that we harbour against authoritarian and brutal regimes.

Personally, I also suggest that anyone take any beneficial promises made by intelligence agents with a mountain of salt, they have an objective like you and I but are willing to put trust underwater if they're desperate enough... Or if they're conditioned and influenced to do so even against their will.

Félice, It's about time I got in contact with you, ever since our assault on the Imperial convoy, the combined efforts of many others resulted in a dramatic shift in our favour.

I know you've been active on the battlefield front against the imperials within Rheinland but their diplomatic tragedy in Gallia has caused a... Weird simultaneous cry of support and help combined with inflammatory insult to a friendly response. Our... Contact method is limited. We're out of our area of comfort with this situation as our Sirian conflict backgrounds have unfortunately occupied our ability to learn about it. Potentially we might consider having to do a little analysis of Gallia to improve our ability to negotiate with them. Denying their presence now would be a big mistake since our own monarchy is building ties deeper with the royalists cousins in Gallia, it will be a catastrophe if ignored... I'll consult with the militia if you'd volunteer to respond to this Maqui cell, they're are a wild pair it seems but we're waiting on a response now. But if you could fill us in on anything to note about the Maqui in general when it comes to handling them in our eventual encounters, we'd appreciate any disclosure of information.

In the meantime time, the Platform always invites you to explore many locations that surround us, if you're wishing for some time to deploy on long range ventures, exercise your skills in the field of covert recon or potentially delve into subterfuge against the corporate industry of Rheinland... It's a tricky game and some actions won't particularly be of good nature to settle with, but reading your records from the military database, I think you're perfectly suited to understand what might be required in sudden circumstances.

Also, I may have some questions to ask you when we're on patrol together, I wouldn't mind the conversation to understand fellow Platformers.
