Snippets of Niklas Mayer - Republican.Shipping - 04-07-2019 Duisburg, New Berlin. Republican Shipping HQ Niklas leans back against his chair, pushing himself away from his desk. His desk sitting in the back middle of his office facing the office`s main entrance. Desk made out of solid wooden, and beautifully varnished. On his desk is his computer, personal communicator, models of the Republican Colossus, Rheinwehr Elbe, and a framed photograph of his parents. Niklas stands up with his whiskey glass in hand, and walks over to his office viewing glass. He peers out, taking a sip of his whiskey while staring at Planet New Berlin in the far distance. The office main lights are off, expect for above his desk. He drifts into thought, thinking back to various stages in his life. When he was a child sitting at the humble dinner table, eating his meal while listening to his parents arguing over topics he cant remember. His father pushing his food aside, and raising his voice. His mother leaving the table, reaching above the cabinets retrieving a dark, thin covered book. Walking back to the table and slamming it down. Niklas recalling his mothers words “this is why we are doing it, there is no other reason”, before his father taking the book and throwing it across the room. Niklas getting up and running out of the room, down the passage into his bedroom. The air in his room, cold and hostile compared to the warm and embracing feeling of the kitchen. Then taking him to his university days, while he was in his business class. Listening to his lecturer, carrying on about economics, and giving references to Rheinland/ Liberty war and its aftermath. Recalling himself asking his lecturer what he would do if he had to return Rheinland to what it was economic wise. Taking notes as the lecturer is explaining the hypothetical process. Skipping forward to where he is returning home to Rheinland aboard a transport. Talking to the crew as they flew through Stuttgart. Seeing the smiles of the crews faces, not because they were being payed well, or that they had great benefits, but because they enjoyed their job, it was their calling, their passion. Niklas is pulled back from his day dreaming by his office door opening. A young lady steps in where a formal business suit, mid shin length dark green skirt, white button up shirt, with a dark green blazer, and dark green high heels. “Mr. Mayer sir” she says in quiet stern voice, “your visitor has arrived. He is in your meeting room” Niklas replies briskly “Let him come in here, and you can go home”. A few minutes pass, and the adjacent door to the back of the office opens. A dark hooded figure walks in, and closes the door behind him. The person is wearing a black hood, with a black coat, a plain grey shirt with dark grey pants. Around his neck is dark green scarf, the persons face covered in a bandana and tinted goggles. He speaks up with a husky voice, “you called for me sir?” Niklas replies still staring out the window, “is everything still going according to plan?” he turns to face his guest. “cause I told if there is any delays I need to know right away, I cant have my plans interrupted because of misinformation” The hooded man nods his head, " Yes sir, everything is falling into place. The effort we put into that system, and the accidental message that was sent, drew the attention of right people from both sides. All is safe and accounted for, and have already set up a perimeter in an isolated spot." He turns and starts to head back out, " but sir what if either side comes across it?" Niklas drinks the last of his whiskey and mumbles, " what we do is for Rheinland, always for Rheinland. They will understand, if not today, they will one day" RE: Snippets of Niklas Mayer - Republican.Shipping - 05-10-2019 Duisburg, New Berlin. Republican Shipping HQ Niklas walks to his office window that looks out to New Berlin, whiskey glass in hand. He admires the view he is fortunate to have. Agatha run diagnostic checks on Duisburg. Scan for any foreign elements, devices and unauthorised personnel. Niklas commands, hearing the tiredness in his voice. Good day Mr. Mayer. I have run my scans on Duisburg, and I am pleased to inform you that there is no foreign devices within Duisburg. Duisburg has no unauthorised personnel either. All staff that should be here have been accounted for. Should I continue my scan according to my configuration? Yes, continue the scan as prescribed until I say otherwise. On another note, have you updated the configurations on all Republican equipment? Yes sir, my systems have updated all machinery and I have been taken off site to a secure location. I have updated your retinal, voice, finger prints and DNA information as requested. Thank you Agatha, one can’t be too careful these days. Test your connections to all Republican stations. Sir, I am connected to all stations at 100% across all bandwidth and channels. I have taken the liberty to include my own frequency in the event that we have a breach in Republican comms. That’s good Agatha, you have out done yourself. Regarding Sigma 21, do you still have contact with the Lubeck crew? Yes sir. The crew are well and have made steady progress on the ground. I have identified some crew have left the camps perimeter. According to records, they are going to the Rheinwehr. What about our base in Sigma 21, have we been detected yet? No sir, last report was a few vessels passing by around 20k away. Our ping reached their vessels undetected, but they were not within range to pick up our signal source. Please note that the station nearby, Radioactive Station was destroyed by hostiles. Some of which destroyed Lubeck on both attempts of construction. Don’t worry Agatha, if they haven’t found it by now, they won’t go looking for it again. But for safety measure, I will be contacting our friend in the Rheinwehr to see if we can get a cloaking device for that station. Sir, Ingolstadt still needs to be fully evacuated, dismantled and shipped out to a new location. You need to contact DHC asap so that this can get underway before the Dark matter storm hits. Then it will be too late. I advise that when it is relocated, that you have modifications done to it according to the system that it is relocated too. Where did you have in mind sir? I haven’t actually thought about it. I have been so busy dealing with other matters. Well, we need to make inroads to Cologne to have a “halfway point” to Gallia like we have in Stuttgart for Bretonia. Alternatively we can look to the Sigmas. Possible Sigma 21 by Saigon and we use it as a trading center between Rheinland and Kusari, or Sigma 15 as a storage depot or trade center linking to Kusari and the Core. Sir I would recommend Sigma 21 once the war is over, and we have won that system. Doing so now would be foolish and a loss of resources and life. Yes I know that Agatha, I know very well what will happen if we did that. So for now, give the instruction to the staff there to clear out and relocate to Duisburg. I have contacted DHC to propose recommended expansion to Duisburg, so soon we will be going under another renovation. Once the staff has left Ingolstadt, shut the station down, lock it down and switch off all systems with the exception of the on-board weapons. They need to remain on so that no one tries to get in. Don’t be alarmed when the last staff leaves, that they start removing crucial components for the life support systems. They are doing their job. Your job is to watch over it until the move begins. Sir with regards to what you and your visitor Van Heerden was talking about the other day, I have gathered some information. You can inform Ms Bauer that to feed 352 million people she will need 1705793 km2 of area. This will include space for crops, fruit and livestock. She will need to buy out current farmers, or alternatively buy what is required from various sources around Sirius. If she can consolidate the entrepreneur farmers under one corporation, she will have rough half of what she would require. As well as I have a list of the most successful crops, that give the most per area, as well as to reproduce for the following year. Thank you Agatha. Give me a short list of what is viable and ill pass it along to Ms Bauer. Will this include help from her friends? Unfortunaely sir, I don’t have the information as yet about that specific crop. These are estimates according to size of crops, rotation period. As I will mention, these are only recommendations. As when it comes to livestock, the best options will be Cattle and Hogs. They will provide natural fertiliser and offer a variety compared to others. RE: Snippets of Niklas Mayer - Republican.Shipping - 05-10-2019 | ||||
