Guten Tag!
Thank you for reaching out to re-establish communications!
I assure you that ALG Waste Disposal operations remain as vibrant as ever, despite any temporary communications issues our stations may have experienced lately.
As recently assigned new Direktor, I was brought up to speed on a number of prior arrangements ALG has played a part regarding Technocracy of Auxo.
Please reach out if you have a need, we can reasonably assist with or questions regarding our operations.
Auf Wiedersehen,
Direktor Ernst Hermann, ALG Waste Disposal
With the change of board, we are uncertain how willing you are to be ... more politically involved with matters as you did previously in Rheinland. More so of providing under the table deals. We do have some work to offer. However, one comes with great risk - the other is more comfortable.
You see, there is some growing dissidence within Pennsylvania. Zoners, who are interested in freeing themselves from Liberty. For us, we see this as a net gain - as Liberty is slowly acting to rampage war across the Independent Worlds. From what we can gather, these Zoners are in need of construction efforts for a large vessel of theirs, at least we presume so.
In addition, we will need your help with some construction efforts ourselves. Over a year ago, we had obtained Liberty Siege Cruisers which are in need of retrofitting to adapt to our technologies. However, our manpower has been rather limited lately. What I can offer you is that you get to keep the research data and internal knowledge of the "Star Lance". hold no doubts that such secretive technological secrets will serve you in the future. However - we anticipate to do better than what the Star Lance can do, our modifications - naturally - cannot be shared.
We do not expect you to handle both projects at the same time. You will have to pick one: To help the people of Erie with their inevitable clash with Liberty, or to help us in securing our defence against the Houses hostilities, and inevitably to prepare for the Nomads arrival.
Or, if you feel brave enough, perhaps you may have the manpower for both.

Navarch Valentine,
It seems when the Technocracy of Auxo comes calling, it's never a light conversation!
Given the choices, my gut wishes I could support them all but my faction's resources can only get behind one with most focus - and that would always be on the side of independence and freedom, regardless of the cost or the reward.
We choose to assist the Zoners with their necessary construction efforts to assist their struggles against oppression. I suspect these Zoners are not as well off as yourselves when it comes to preparation against a larger force, so that makes the decision a bit easier knowing they are in greater need, and likely more urgent need.
Please let me know where our efforts are best required.
If your own construction requirements can be helped after this first crisis is dealt with, we can try and offer our support at that time, but, as you said, we must choose based on our own known capabilities.
Auf Wiedersehen,
Direktor Ernst Hermann, ALG Waste Disposal
Mmm. They would fare off better than we would. They are a formless entity, and that of which is formless cannot be directly attacked. We, on the other hand, do have a place of operations - which can clearly be destroyed.
The Zoners appear to have gone silent on communications, and what with the build up of House forces, we will require your immediate assistance in helping us establish means of defending our people, as well as re-establishing some recycling-refurbishing industry that your people previously set up.
We have three Capital Vessel assets that require working on... A bold move, to be sure, but for the most part, they are all intact and mostly set up. We need to replace the power-core and the propulsion systems on two of them. We will also be needing engineering efforts to replace their forward cannons. The last asset of the three, requires an internal rework - a very old asset we were given from the Republic side of the Civil War for our assistance. Regarding these assets, we must ask of you to agree to a non-disclosure agreement for both your and our safety.
...
There is one more ambition we'd like to speak about. We also have an opportunity in Rheinland we'd like to address. As of May 828 A.S - last year - we have purchased leased land for 35 years in Cologne for the purpose of expanding our scientific industry, as well as a host for non-military personnel. A part of the agreement entailed that this land must require 25% Rheinlandic workforce upon the county. We'd like to involve ALG within this endeavour, especially with the dangers of the wreckage surrounding the planet posing an astronomical danger to the Planet and space borne satellites.
At the moment, we only have a small outpost present upon Saarbrucken of roughly 200-300 personnel awaiting for further assistance.

Navarch Valentine,
I've dispatched some technical and mechanical specialists to assist with these caps you've mentioned. We agree and can comply with an NDA as you requested.
I am intrigued about your venture on Planet Saarbrucken - it was my understanding the planet was hostile to human settlement given how fast the Hessians were driven off in their colonization attempt. I'm assuming the issues they faced in the sand don't affect your Northern settlement. Let us know how we can assist there - I'll send an advance team to quickly recon the planet's orbiting debris to start, giving us an idea on the scope of this project.
Auf Wiedersehen,
Direktor Ernst Hermann, ALG Waste Disposal
The Hessians did not have the time, nor the resources, to invest efforts into ecological studies of the native fauna upon the world. It was the threat of the Rheinland forces that met their demise, more so that they were unable to obtain assistance.
For the most part, we believe the hostile extraction methods may have caused them their issues in the first place. We do not intend on beginning mining efforts, not now. Further study and consideration is required, how these creatures impact the biosphere of the world, and how essential these formations are to the structural integrity of the world.
We do advise investigating the debris field. Is it possible to get an assessment on clean up methods? We may be able to bring it forth to the Rheinland Government... Although, we are willing to pay for any remains that may be "repurposed" for better causes...
Perhaps we can arrange an expedition for surveying the Planet's satellites more indepth?

Navarch Valentine,
Our advance recon of the conditions around Planet Saarbrucken was completed not long ago - I will attach the private report for your review. Keep in mind it was done in the mindset of profitability of the operation, not scientific discovery for which you use the location.
We have a few different methods possible for clean-up around the planet - from just hauling away the bigger pieces out of the field to nearby Wuppertal for further processing and deconstruction, to modified tractor beam sweeps to create a more manageable mass from the thousands of smaller pieces in the area.
Whichever methods we use, it's going to take some time and a dedicated team full-time on the project in orbit, making sure it's done right - and with consent of the Rheinland Government as to handling of the materials in question.
Auf Wiedersehen,
Direktor Ernst Hermann, ALG Waste Disposal
For now, it may be worth seeking an avenue on negating damage from the falling debris that inevitably falls down to the planet. It will take some time to move all of the debris, though... I wonder if there is an alternative to the problem. Perhaps it may be possible to create a zone of artificial gravity to counter-act the pull of the world? Who knows, the techies will look into possible solutions. Though we have some particular interests in studying the remains of that Vidar wreckage for assessment on how the Hessians structured their vessel layouts. We would be interested in paying you for such indepth scans for us to analyse.
I do wish to digress back to previously discussed assistance surrounding Inverness.
The Capital Assets we wish to work on in haste, are essential to our plans to defensive measures from the possible invasion of Bretonia-Crayter-Liberty forces, as this holds a matter of urgency to ensure our own survival.
As you have agreed to the NDA, I will declassify the situation and specifications.
The Technocracy has obtained two pristine conditioned Liberty Siege Cruisers from the Insurgency, 828 A.S, and one chassis of a "Elbe" Carrier from the Burodirector for assistance during the Federal civil war. Although the Siege Cruisers are within condition, this means that their limitations are still set within the mainframe of the vessels.
Engineering teams have spent the past year developing blueprints to adapt Technocrat technology to infuse more efficient propulsion systems and to reduce general maintenance on the vessels. Technocrat technology entails overhauling generation and power systems to optimise for maximum performance whilst reducing the need to adhere to power limitations. But such a cost is incredibly high, due to the rare materials utilized in the adaption methods. Any mistakes, will require retrieving said materials as they will go to waste from entropic destabilization. During the year long assessment, the teams have discovered that the Star Lance forward cannon is tightly interlinked with the powercore with multiple failsafes.
Current technical limitations the Technocrat technicians face is the safe removal of these failsafes without critical system failure of the inner circuitry and hardlock of the Star Lance cannon. Engineering solutions have determined that creating a bypasser to trick the system is in place, however engineering manpower for physical disassembly and installation is incredibly limited. ALG will need to assist in the endeavour of providing technical assistance with safe disassembly protocols with Plasma-based generation systems in interests of replacing the technical set up to be compatible to fully operate with an Ion based system.
All the resources are ready for assembly and insertion. No further logistical requirements needed. Assistance is urgently required for installation and replacement of afforementioned modules.
An alternative solution to the Star Lance cannon is to completely replace it with a Technocrat based weapon system. However, endeavours for such will further increase costs of the vessels, as well as use up valuable time to prepare for the hostilities of Crayter-Bretonian-Liberty forces. Future consideration of retrofits for future campaigns should be noted.
The primary requested delegation is the replacement of the electrical mainframe and technical assistance on installation of bypassers and other components. Do you have spare manpower to help accomplish this task?
As for payment and compensation, we can discuss it now if desired. It is no light measure to assist in such dangerous and fragile technologies, and as previously promised, we are willing to share the classified technical data on these Liberty cannons. Such data will require a very large databank. (//1x Secret Industrial Research, x500 Scientific Data), and we must warn you with urgency.
You cannot risk any form of compromise to your internal databank, for foreign agencies will seek to kill you all to obtain such valuable data. The LSF - no doubt - will seek to reclaim Liberty's secrets, even if it is but a part of their grander design. Use this knowledge in secrecy, and discretion. Decompiling this data will take a very time, and we must urge that ALG does not share it with other organisations such as the Order, who will utilize it for nefarious deeds - such as their on-going political interests of exterminating our kind.
We have heard from the Bundschuh regarding your... ties, we know of your hidden struggle against the Monarchs who suck the life out of your Rheinland. We hope you can use this knowledge to develop derivative tools against the Bretonian aggression and these oppressive Monarchs.
...Perhaps you can convince that ALG should achieve favour from Rheinland Government through "miraclous weapon system breakthroughs" for weapon contracts over Daumann to bolster your own profit. A gentle nudge, for the long term game of achieving peace.
Whether you accept this opportunity or not, remains your decision, we are happy to settle with monetary compensation. But the option to explore this route remains open.

Navarch Valentine,
I am Kai Richter, Director of Security Division.
I'll keep things brief, I understand the more involved parts of your transmission have been forwarded to R&D. Expect them to take a little longer.
We're concerned about the threats facing your enclave, and I'm comfortable saying that the board of directors is in general agreement over our willingness to support those that are bold enough to show defiance in the face of the ever-encroaching tentacles of the houses and their lackeys.
I assure you that the Delta wing assets currently stationed at Valravn have orders to defend against any aggressors, including house forces, although I personally suspect they are more likely to war by any proxies they can get for the job, like the traitors of the Crayter Republic. I can't imagine an open invasion would be particularly popular in those houses at this time.
Realistically, this is a small force - Delta is already one of my smaller squadrons, and I'm splitting them between Inverness and the eastern Liberty border worlds, where our scrappers need protection against increased Unioner activity.
That aside though, it's possible that I could get approval to have the Erdbeben itself reassigned. The situation around Rheinland is calm overall, and making the trip could be feasible, although it'd require some preparation.
