SUBJECT: Demotion Request

Guten Tag,

my latest promotion to the rank of Lieutnant came quite as suprise. Yesterday, the Vize Admiral himself did announce my immediate promotion, eventhough I did never express the wish of being tied to such a responsible position. In honesty, I do not deserve this rank.

It might be true that I served the Vaterland very well the last two years, especially at the war zone. However, a Lieutnant is supposed to have a flawless curriculum vitae - which I do not possess in any regard. Being demoted several times and even disbanded from the Rheinwehr once, shows that my character and especially my disrespectful behaviour is unfitting for a rank within the High Command.

I do lie frequently, drink on duty and spend my free time at shady places with dubious friends. For example, since the Hamburg gate's deactivation, I have spent most of my time in bars and events like the Oktoberfest, various Après-Ski events on New Berlin and Rave Concerts on illegal grounds. I hadn't a sober day since months! How are the Fliegers supposed to view me as good example?

I have no choice but to deny this promotion. Seriously, I am dreadfully sorry, that I do not feel suitable for this honorable position. Having me in the HC would only spoil the perfect reputation of the Rheinwehr. I would have loved being able to accept this promotion since it always has been a lifetime dream. Though, I am not ready for it yet. I need another two or three years to reconsider it.

Meanwhile, I will take a few days off-duty visiting my Grandmother on Stuttgart and taking care for her farm and animals. This will give me some time to think. However, my decision to deny this promotion is final.

I apologize. I really understand this gesture of goodwill, but this is too much. If you decide to disband me from the Military again - I will understand. If not, I will return to normal duty as Feldwebel after my short holiday.

Viele Grüße,

SUBJECT: Misunderstanding

Guten Abend,

it's been a while. To repeat my last words; I did understand your decision to disband me. And as time won't heal wounds, it's been months ago when I got dismissed without official notice. My appearance surely makes the high command still shiver - in case that the past leadership still exists.

Whatsoever, today, here I am again, requesting an explanation. My years of loyal duty demand an official statement. Even though I'm just a women who never was interested in being emotionally spoiled by performing a high command rank, I feel that even I shall be rewarded with a fair treatment. No matter my gender or way of living.

Don't force me to share the dissatisfaction with the common Rheinland people. I received offers. You know what I am talking about - my knowledge is a high priced elment amongst Rheinland public enemies. Yet I disagreed. But a human's faith is limited.

Don't take this as threat - take it as an oppurtinity to have one of your best officers return.

Viele Grüße,

Background Information:

Sarah Simone Braun, was born on 795 AS on Planet Stuttgart.

She grew up in a rich family as only child. Her parents, Marie Braun, working for Republican Shipping as secretary and Horst Braun, a strict Rheinland Military Officer, had a luxury mansion in the middle of the capital city of Planet Stuttgart. During the week, Sarah's parents were working all day, she rarely saw them in the evenings, too. Horst Braun was working outside Planet Stuttgart at Battleship Karlsruhe. Sometimes he loved his job more than her own daughter, and she knew that. Sometimes he even admits that he wished, he had a son. A strong man, like he is. Someone who'll become like him. Following in his footsteps.
That's like he always used to be. Sarah resigned herself to her fathers opinion.

She was a pretty young girl, people dismissed her often. People who didn't knew her. People who had a superficial view at her. Although, she never had a boyfriend. In fact, she hated most men she meet. She enjoyed playing with their feelings and hurting them. Living in a capital city made this development even worse. Sarah didn't wanted to learn a "womens job". At school, she'd often played football or other games against the boys, while the girls painted their faces and talked about who kissed who. Sarah was more a ruffian than a lady. Many people got misled by her natural beautiful appearance.

Her mother, Marie, was always proud of her daughters good marks in school. Maths, Physics and Sport were Sarah's favorite subjects. Marie always told her to not listen to her father. She said to her daughter, that she can become whatever she want, she just had to fight for it. And Sarah was such a "fighter". She never had any problems to assert herself. People avoided her when it comes to discussions, because it often happened, that everyone yields to her arguments, they knew, that it's useless to argue with her.

When she studied Maths and Sport at a excellent university outside of the capital town, she already thought about becoming a police officer or female soldier. People told her that she won't fit into there, not because of her behaviour, more because of her appearance. But those who were that brave to tell her, often got punched into their face after. She loved that element of surprise, to show someone her real being. And she hated to be seen as a naive and defenseless young women.

Sarah rarely talked much about herself, what was going on in her mind. She had a skeptical view on everything, nearly fanatic. She always thought twice on decisions and never did anything because her emotions told her to do so. She wasn't a cold-hearted women. Quite contrary she was fun-loving and bright. But if things get serious she changed into a cool thinking machine. "You would be a great actress!" Did her father said her once. "But you won't be able to get a job as a soldier. They won't even take you as secretary for the Military.". It made her sad, that he had no trust in her.

Soon, she came to the point, that she wanted to know the truth. "Will I be able to do that? Is it what I want?" In 816 AS Sarah successfully applied for a practical course at Battleship Karlsruhe. She has never been so satisfied when she saw her father's face, when she told him, that they accepted her for a pracitcal training of two years. "One-nil for me." She said to herself.

In the following two years, Sarah learned much about what the Military exactly does. She put a lot effort in it and she was convinced, that she's doing the right thing. In the first year, she had mostly theory lessons about ship mechanics, fighting tactics, politcal understanding, higher mathematics and sirius-wide diplomacy. Then in the second year, she made a excursion to Planet New Berlin for six month where she had a special spaceship training. Back in Stuttgart, she recieved her first own fighter ship. A Wraith - 90-ARKM-N45.

"Sarah, I must admit, that I'm suprised about how you developed in the last months. I don't know how to say it, but I feel kind of proud." This was the first time, her father compliment Sarah. Marie, her mother had a different view on that. She was worried about her. But Sarah was confident, that serving her homecountry was the best she can do. And even others shared that concern.

In 818 AS, Sarah finished her practical training, with excellent results. She was even with male trainees. And she was one of very few female trainees, who recieved a recommendation.

Finally, in late 818 AS, Sarah Braun applied for the Rheinland Militray.
