The Generalmajor was suprised to hear from our ally that has -until recently- never been seen distributing the diamonds from Fretial, while the Generalmajor is slightly "displeased" at this, the Generalmajor and the Army will be willing to renew the laws and allow you to "continue" distributing blood diamonds in Liberty. The Generalmajor and the Army expect the cardamine trade to remain outside of the Omegas and Rheinland, regardless of what deal you had in the past, one unit of Cardamine for the pilot's survival will be permitted, but no more than that. Generalmajor Heinrich is not nearly as lenient nor forgiving on the substance entering the Army's territory as past Generalmajors.

On the topic of Blood diamonds the Generalmajor would like to add that absolutely no blood diamonds under any circumstances are to be bought from or sold to the Unioners. The Unioners are traitors to the volksrevolution, any and all violators found dealing with the Unioners will be killed. In fact, the Generalmajor would advise you cease smuggling blood diamonds through the Bering system, however, it is not a demand.

The Interspace Commerce are not close allies with the Army by any means, more or less temporary business partners, the Interspace Commerce does not exploit the working class in Rheinland on any means close to that of Daumann or Kruger minerals. While you might have your reasons for having such a grudge, the Interspace is seen as a "beneficial tool" to the Army in some scenarios. The Interspce commerce shares the Army's distaste for the Corsair filth polluting the Omegas, as well as the Unioner movement which has betrayed the Volksrevolution. The Interspace Commerce is by no means shown the respect the Army is showing the Lane Hackers. While it might seem surprising to you, the Army has been in minimal to no contact with the Lane Hackers for a very long time. You'll have to excuse the list of allies to the Volksrevolution, it will be changed.

I was astonished to hear a group that holds such high standards would send a messenger boy for such a serious and delicate matter. However, it's good to see the Lane Hackers are taking this matter seriously now, I am not unaware of the past dedication the Lane Hackers have shown the Army and for that reason the Lane Hackers are held with more respect that I would bother to give to most. The supplies listed above however, expires at the end of 822 A.S. the time when I took charge of the Volksrevolution, while I did in fact divert funding for delicate reasons, I did not expect the trade to cease completely. Hence why I'd question your reasoning for holding the Oberkommando to blame for an incident where the evidence points back at the accuser. The Blood Diamond trade has funded several aspects of life for those living under the Volksrevolution, and has funded the creation of some advanced fighter craft, but it has by no means funded anything on the scale that you claim. The raw materials and weaponry for our warships is derived from the resource-abundant-areas of the Omegas and other business partners. While you have been an essential asset to the Liberty front of Blood Diamond distribution in previous years, you are by no means its current entire backbone. I can easily have the Junkers Marauders and the Junkers Congress distribute the Blood diamonds to Liberty, I hear they're less inclined with the Unioners as the Lane Hackers have come to be.

That being said, I have no interest in making an adversary out of the Lane Hackers, which is why as my guard stated, I am willing to -and have- allowed you to resume where you left off with the Blood Diamond distribution in Liberty. I am however, very serious on the topic of the Unioners, the Blood Diamonds aren't just a means of funding, they're a symbol of support, and are disgraced by the Unioners as means for selfish profit. If you are as interested as you seem to be in distributing Blood Diamonds and keeping your ties with the Army, you will refrain from engaging in any business with the Unioners that involves the trade, selling, or buying of Blood Diamonds. I am also very serious when I say any and all violators will be killed. Might I inform you to reconsider whatever past relations you had with the Unioners, as they are in works with the Corsairs against the Volksrevolution, and potentially its allies. I'm giving you this forewarning personally as a result of your past cooperation with the Volksrevolution.

On the topic of Cardamine, I have not and will not tolerate any more than one or two units of Cardamine in the Army's territory. The difference in our "Oxygen pipelines" is that the Blood Diamonds are purchased in support for the Army as well as monetary reasons. Cardamine is a drug that controls people and has ruined the lives of many people in Rheinland, there's no way to break free from the chains of Cardamine once it's worked its way into a person's lungs, the same cannot be said for someone potentially interested in Blood diamonds. People purchase Cardamine to survive, and while I'm sure a respectable party such as yourself would never seek to ruin the lives of Rheinland's people in return for their own profit, the same cannot be said for other parties smuggling the substance into Rheinland and the Omegas.

However, your talents in surveillance, unique technology, and loyal partnership, is something that would make me reconsider some portion of the Cardamine trade in Northern Rheinland. That discussion can be pushed back for another time if and when you decide to take interest in the betterment of your allies and the security of your Life support.

Finally, this traitor you speak of, the number of Lieutenants in our ranks rounds close to the number of Blood Diamonds you've delivered, and naming the gender only cuts the number in half. A name would be most appreciated. I'll await your reply on the matter of Cardamine.

As I mentioned before, it was necessary to divert funding to other pillars of the Volksrevolution to prevent it from falling further when I took direct control. While it displeases me greatly, I won't hold a grudge over it, and as I've said before: you've been given permission to continue buying and selling the Blood Diamonds. Furthermore you're misinterpreting my words, I did in fact say that you have been an essential asset to the distribution of Blood Diamonds for the obvious reasons you just listed out. However when I say the current entire backbone of the blood diamond distribution I mean the Sirius-wide distribution of the product. The Lane Hackers are essential to the Liberty market, but are no means the current largest Sirius-wide distributor. However, I hope you continue to take advantage of the business your Major so it seems, described as profitable for both parties. I hope that closes all concerns regarding the blood diamonds, it would very much disappoint me to see you refuse.

I think you and I both knew this was a high profile event from the start, and your associates rank doesn't make me any less surprised or regretful. If you're as well informed and powerful as your words make you out to be, than you know making me budge on the topic of Cardamine will likely come at a very good deal, as well as continued loyalty to the Army. While our parties might share a solid past friendship, I can't help but be weary of the loyalty of parties, even those I consider friends, with Unioner movement taking such a radical turn, as well as the change of events in Bretonia. If I'm correct the Lane Hackers are no friends of Bretonia, the same cannot be said with the Unioners.

Now, what you say is right, I don't discriminate against everyone who uses the substance, but I most certainly will not allow its unconditioned spread through my territory. I've been told it has its benefits, but during my time in field, I've noticed no difference against pilots I've been told use the substance. Obviously my personal experience can't speak for everyone, and I'm not arrogant enough to believe that Cardamine holds no potential benefits to its user. But at the same time, from what I can gather, the negative effects are not extreme cases. The Outcasts are currently suffering from a population issue, if I'm correct, one so drastic that even the IMG -a group of non-military-combatant- miners are an issue for the Maltese Navy. I can only assume the same extreme condition is the reason the Lane Hackers are less in numbers compared to other groups in Liberty, unless the Lane Hackers are larger in quantity than past records suggest. The abuse of the substance might be a result corporate oppression, but your friends the Outcasts don't seem to be helping the issue with their desire to expand the market into Rheinland. As I've stated, while I'm sure you wouldn't seek to cripple the people of Rheinland with the substance, I cannot just ignore the negative effects of the substance and allow it to flow through Rheinland and the Omegas.

However, as stated before I am willing to negotiate a deal regarding the product's flow through northern Rheinland. Note that this would ONLY apply to the Lane Hackers, your friends the Outcasts do not share our past friendship, and will not be included in this deal. If there are any other routes that extend to southern Rheinland or the Omegas, specify them and I will review them with the Oberkommando. Continued loyalty to the Army is priority above all, I have no interest in making an enemy out of the Lane Hackers, but I will react with the utmost hostility to any involvement with the Unioners regarding blood diamonds, there is one other thing however... The scanning technology the Lane Hackers posses catches my attention, as you might have known for decades the Army has used the hellish environment of the Omegas to its benefit. Radar is something you seem to have in spades, if the Lane Hackers were willing to share a portion, not too large, with the Army, you would be allowed to move through northern Rheinland with Cardamine. However, I will not tolerate its distribution on any Federal or Hessian bases. The specifics of the what I desire can be addressed as soon as I've confirmed you've agreed to keep distributing and allowing the distribution of Blood Diamonds through Liberty.

I'll await your reply.

I would've thought cardamine tolerance in my territory -or part of it-, was enough, never the less I am committed to acquiring what I desire at a slight extra cost. I'd go ahead and question your reasoning for relying on an outdated Federal or imperial warship design for an upgrade, the Hessian design is far more reliable. With recent upgrades its now capable of challenging the Imperator head on, but it if it is an Imperial or Federal technology you require to make whatever progress your engineers hope to achieve, I won't question their opinion. An Oder class gunboat should be simple to acquire with our influence over other parties that have abundant access to this technology.

I wasn't highly interested in a spyglass scanner for a Jormungand warship. Bringing such a vessel to Hudson poses extreme risk, and I will not chance one of our precious warships despite how elusive the Lane Hackers can be with their dealings. The Jormungands either move in large schools or lock down key system connections individually anyways. What I do infact require is a spyglass scanner for a lighter vessel, a modified Sabre, my personal prototype in the works. The compatibility with the ships design should be workable for our engineers but the instructions on how to install the scanner may be mandatory for the Lane Hackers to provide since the technology is so unique to my engineers. If you can confirm this you'll have what you desire in a very short time span.
