Major Koester,
I am sorry for the loss of so many brave Soldaten. However, seeing that you and at least part of your crew are still alive is a fortunate turn of events. Your commitment to the Vaterland, even in such a dire situation, is awe-inspiring and an example for every Soldat of the Kriegsmarine. It is, however, not in my interest to unnecessarily waste more Rheinland lives.

Having operatives planetside on Houston is a prospect that could be utilised in many different ways - there is, in fact, already a plan in the Oberkommando's archives that has been devised for a similar situation. However, this plan involves trained operatives of both Nachrichtendienst and Rheinwehr special forces. I am uncertain if you and your remaining crew will be up for the task in your current situation - you have been through a lot and already proven your commitment beyond the call of duty by sacrificing your ship to allow the fleet to regroup.

I can, on the other hand, try to pull some diplomatic strings to get both you and your surviving crew out of there. However, should you engage in covert operations on the planet, I fear that a diplomatic approach will be out of the question entirely and the Libertonians, when you are caught, will execute you and your crew as spies after thorough interrogation. So please, Major, what is your assessment of the situation? Do you think your remaining troops are capable enough? Is their morale and spirit still unbroken? You already carried out your duties faithfully - that is beyond questioning - I can not ask for more and will neither force a course of action onto you nor your crew.

We will internally discuss the situation further once your assessment reached us. For the time being I advise you stay put and one step ahead of your pursuers. I wish you and your men the best of luck, Major. The Kanzler knows you will need it in such a situation .


Hochachtungsvoll,
Major Theodor Wilhelm Falk von und zu Sittlingen, Rheinwehr Hauptflotte.
