Receiver: Order High Command
Subject: Cooperation and Mutual Understanding
To whom it may concern,
My name is Clause Amsel, Director of the Büro des Marinenachrichtendienstes. I contact the Order High Command with a matter most urgent. The following is the culmination of around two years of communication, toil, and interaction between our organizations. As such, it carries very significant weight in the relations between our two organizations.
We have been in communication with your Admiral Golanski for some time now. For the past year, my men and the admiral have been tentatively discussing an agreement that could bring both the Republic of Rheinland and the Order closer together. Various delays prevented such work from baring fruition swiftly, however in the past two months we seemed to be nearing the end of negotiations.
Both parties had agreed to a research sharing deal, as well as various limitations involving what BDM ships could and could not transport through Order zones of control. Roughly, the agreement would outline a program where the BDM would open up its archived on nomad research to the Order, in exchange for the Order's opening up of very specific pathways in Omicron Zeta to BDM research ships. Included in this agreement was a pathway through Omicron Minor for the goal of reaching the Omicron 92 system.
It came to me as a surprise that these negotiations have been rebuffed. Admiral Golanski informed myself that the Order High Command had voted against allowing any non order ships into Omicron Minor. He conveyed the implication that the remainder of the items we had discussed would not be implemented nor considered for further evaluation.
The Büro has always striven to maintain good relations with the Order. For the past three years seance the Büro was founded, never once have our men exchanged shots fired in anger. In-fact, I find it my pleasure to convey our dearest thanks to your persons on this day. An Order patrol in the Omicron Kappa system rescued a BDM reconnaissance team under attack by rogue AI ships only some hours ago.
However, we find ourselves feeling that the Order may not share the same good will towards the BDM as we do towards them. Every time we come across Order ships while gathering nomad materials for research, our men have been ordered to jettison all cargo collected under threat of death. Our offer of of a tour of our most sensitive facility to Order agents was snubbed. Just today, the incident in Omicron Kappa that ended in the rescue of BDM forces by two Order gunships stared with the Order threatening to open fire on BDM ships unless they stopped shooting the AI drones that were actively attacking them. Finally, in an ironic finality to the less then comforting behavior listed above, we are suddenly informed that all negotiations we have been working on for the past year have been dropped.
This is not conducive of our work. This is not becoming of organizations that proport to be in a cooperative stance. Our interactions have always carried an air of caution about them. I can personally understand the good reasoning behind caution when dealing with operatives and agents. However, this withdrawn and suspicious attitude that your agents greet mine with goes beyond that.
I am very frustrated to see where we have ended up. With nothing to show for several years of interaction we are back at square one. It is the same as when we first made contact. Whenever we visit the Omicrons, Order ships demand our agents explain themselves or face summery execution. I wish these words were exaggeration, but they are not. No, I am faced with the same problem every sortie we make into Rheinland's hinterland. It is the Order problem.
In light of the events leading to this, I have seen fit to contact you to try and salvage this situation. I ask for reason and understanding to prevail, and for our two sides to work for the betterment of all humanity. I ask for a change in the treatment of Rheinlanders in the Omicron sector. I ask for our two organizations to work together for the betterment of both. I ask for an agreement on cooperative research and safe passage to Omicron Iota and Omicron 92.

To Director Claus Amsel.
I think in the past I was insufficient clear in drawing a line in what we can offer and what we are unable to allow. Let me start from beggining through.
The Rheinland, among other houses finances Bounty Hunter's Guild, organisation that gathered assets and recognition from all four houses of the Sirius. This particular group of mercenaries is known to harass our operations for a decade or so, even creating special PMC to wage war against us on our own territory.
They are funded by the rich and important individuals in the Sirian houses, wanting piece of the cake that is Nomad technology. The Core as they are known, use slave labor obtained from multitute of prisons under terms of "repaying their debt to the society" and "bringing war to the Nomads". For years Core have antagonized The Order and other individuals that refused to become Guild's subject.
Secondly, due to war with the Core - that houses themselves have funded in the first place - we have to deploy more assets to defend ourselves against other humans, rather than subduing Nomad threat. What is within Omicron Kappa was yours to see as well.
Third, I have broke no "agreement". I have never allowed you to harvest Nomad materials and I have in the past declared wars upon those that continued to do so. House of Rheinland provided nothing in return other than more or less safe travelling through your territory. I have provided you with allowance to travel upon Omicron worlds not classified as The Order's restricted zones. You would be amazed seeing what The Order and regrettably Guild has achieved out of your sight... with the latter being the exact reason we DO NOT allow harvesting of Nomad materials.
As you can see, none of my agents are transporting anything Nomad related through Rheinland as well. We do not interfere in your internal matters of the house itself until Nomad threat is in question. To obtain permission from us to carry said materials and be left in peace you would have to do something extra-ordinary. Drawing a line in the sand, elimination of entirety of the Guild and thus: Guild Core sounds like a good deal.
You request to travel through Omicron Zeta classified area, Omicron Minor no fly zone and possibly a pathway to systems The Order deems neccesary to uphold clear of any third party elements. Any war party (BDM, even if in exploration goes in force armed with warships) is potential liability and destabilizing element across and beyond the passage. To gain compromise, your republic needs to offer something substantial - weapons, warships, funding... everything that can be used to cleanse Nomad influence from Sirius, literally. What you offer must overcome benefits of what we already receive from current status quo.
Command out.

Admiral Golanski,
You speak of the Bounty Hunters Guild being active in Order space. Talking of them raiding your homes and using your own research to their advantage. This is regrettable to hear, and our condolences are offered to you in your conflict.
However, please do not drag the concept of Rheinland funding this PMC into the limelight as if it were some sort of all solving puzzle piece in regards to negotiations with the BDM. I could go on and on about how Liberty is assaulting Rheinlanders, how they have tried to obtain nomad technology from us, how they are more well funded then us, how they attempt to oppress us. All of this true, mind you, but not relevant to our conversation.
Support. You ask for support. Your request for our help in this 'war' against the bounty hunters is understandable. Regrettably, we cannot take action against every day hunters. Golanski, I know you to be an intelligent man. You know very well the influence I wield and how much I can accomplish. Tell me, how am I to convince the Kanzler of Rheinland, the Bundestag, and all various cliches and groups within the Military and Polizei that we should suddenly throw out all bounty hunter from Rheinland space? Ban them entirely? Start offensive operations against them? No, I cannot help you there, Golanski. We both realize that I cannot convince the entire government of the Republic of Rheinland to abandon an organization that we have worked with for centuries in favor of one that has made themselves known for less then thirty years.
Support, however, has many definitions. You ask for weapons, warships, funding. That sort of support I can deal with. While our ties may have become strained, I have a deep desire to see them remain intact. Thus, I shall use my authority to offer you your support.
Rheinland looses quite a few wraiths every day. These are mostly lost in the conflict with liberty. One would expect for these ships to keep their guns on their wrecks as well. Not all of them can be recovered, unfortunately, what with Liberty patrols in the area. In fact, we have had some trouble with smugglers and ruffians finding these ships, and salvaging them. I can spare 12 Wraith very heavy fighters and 2 Fafnir super heavy bombers for order forces, along with 50 Firekiss class plasma cannons. If these are the ships you speak of, then they are yours for the taking. This is in exchange for granting Büro ships access to Omicron 92, Omicron Iota, and the ability to carry cargo and equipment of nomadic origin.
That, and telling your pilots not to threaten to vaporize my own whenever they stop them would be appreciated. In fact, I say it would be a requirement. The only way I will allow us to work together is if the Order starts acting like it trusts the Büro. Any more of this 'ready to fire on sight' behavior and I think I shall loose all trust I have ever had in your forces to begin with.

RE: To: Order High Command - Omicron - 11-20-2013
To Director Claus Amsel.
For all I care, you are free to handle mercenary business in Rheinland as the government on behalf of the Chancellor wishes. Key is, there is little distinction between BHG and The Core - both are registered as essentialy same organisation with exactly same leadership. Even their hardware is identical to the letter, with exception of Nomad weaponry being employed by the Core. How do you handle cutting off Core's head, I leave up to your imagination.
Would have you took more active stance in support of The Order - such as harassing Guild's attempts to gain more resources for their Omicron branch we would not have this discussion. All those years have passed and Guild invests your money into combatting The Order rather than bringing fight to Red Hessians. I never saw a Mako class battleship hunting infamous Jormungands... and I saw many of those Core warships invading Toledo. All of it funded on centuries of blood money of the houses, Rheinland included.
That saying, hesitancy of The Order comes from BDM asking the unspeakable while offering little as Bounty Hunter pet of yours conspires against those you deem friends - us. No one will carry permission for handling Nomad materials until they get heavily involved in the fight - no matter whether through military, logistical or more covert approaches. However on other hand you bring some gifts that might be deemed fit for purpose by The Order. This can buy you passage through certain systems. I will discuss it with rest of the High Command.
Command out.

Admiral Golanski,
Permission to carry nomad materials is, unfortunately, a requirement. How else are we to preform our research; the very reason why we are in the Omicrons?
However, accommodations may be reached. We will wait for you and yours to mull over potential solutions.

RE: To: Order High Command - Omicron - 11-22-2013
To Director Claus Amsel.
There is a huge gap between researching widely applicable Daam K'Vosh technology and weaponizing corpses of the Slomon K'Hara that you plan to harvest carelessly. I am linking one of the Order Overwatch members with origin in Rheinland given he might have useful insight within this discussion.
Meanwhile, I can state few easy restrictions on what currently can be achieved: the passage through. Once terms agreed to, you will use only very specific jumpholes outlined by The Order Overwatch. During your stay in Omicrons, you will not antagonize Zoners. While they are diverse collective of people, from which few individuals sometimes go against The Order, it is our concern how to deal with such issues and not yours.
In Tohoku, The Order will expect BDM to keep current status quo in place. Failure to do so will result in The Order managing other strategies for the system, which will exclude BDM presence out of the bigger picture. From reports I read through, I believe your soldiers can behave well even under pressure.

Gut day, Director Amsel, Commander Davids hier.
Much time has passed since we have last met in Omicron Delta.
Anyway, coming to your request, perhaps I should explain to you more
properly why the Order hesitates to grant you the access to sensitive nomad material.
Not long ago, I took the liberty to...visit Rheinland again. And it does not give me
the impression as if its current administration is mature enough to handle such.
Do not take me wrong, there might be some people in there that are capable for sure.
But past has shown us that sooner or later their efforts have been abused. And
to be honest, mankind has shown how capbable they are when it comes to
inventing war materal of any kind. Can you promise us that Rheinland would never
use nomad material for warfare? No, you cannot of course.
And this is why the Order cannot let this happen at any time.
