"Beautiful, isn't it? Finest machined warhead to come out of the Freeman labs. Yields are high, radiological signatures are low. Risk of contingency is near-nothing and they still function even after being baked in the glow of Bering itself. They are also extremely expensive and will take 15% of the Direktorate's tithe to upgrade our deterrence silos. It would take a battleship flack battery to knock one off target, let alone two."

"Voararbeiter Riehl and Syndicadmiral Soma tell me that you have invaluable experience with the operation and maintenance of anti-armour warheads, of megaton scale and up. The Procurator rates you highly."

"Good. You're to proceed to Pacifica shipyard and provide me with a suitability assessment on our abillity to produce six Type-45 anti-area nuclear electromagnetic pulse bombs within the next fourteen days, when the next general strike is to be incited at Alster actual."


"Francoise, I need you to prepare an operational sutability assessment on disguising a Nuclear warhead launcher in the bow of our new Aktivist assault gunboats. Can we get close enough to fire a type forty five before the station's radiological sensors sound general distress? Vulkan will bring you up to date with the relevant technical information."

"Soma. You have a reputation for efficiency. Perhaps ruthless efficiency. You were an Oberstarbeiter at the time of the Garen's chemical attack. They will have updated their defence patterns since, and the same assault will not prove effective twice. The lighting that strikes twice is bound to hit a rod, not a tree. We're going to burn the brush."


"As for arranging the general strike, leave that to me. I am not Garen, and this is a statement of solidarity, not a bloodletting. We will not let Republican have a public relations coup by killing our own, and we will not fire until Alster's workforce voluntarily abandon the station pre-contact."

"Get to it. This is our opportunity to put the Union back into infamy."

"This is not a profitless strike. Kruger will be supplying the Uranium, they will be pre-warned to stock up on relief supplies, and their stocks will rise as they are seen to be the heroes of the relief effort."
