Yes, we have been keeping tabs on sorties made by both regular agents and the Uflotte inside Liberty. Liberty offers us a very hostile environment to operate inside. The Libertonian authorities want us dead, the unlawful presence wants us out. The hellfire legion is profiting from this war and attacks both sides. The Xenos are.. well they are the xenos.
It seems all sides are content to allow this conflict to propagate, especially the Libertonian Authorities, pushing into Hamburg as they are. We understand that the Lane Hackers may be in a special position unlike any other party in Liberty. Currently, the goals of Rheinland are compatible with the goals of the Lane Hackers. However, why should we reach out to each-other because of this?
I think we can both say out respective organizations have enough to worry about before putting more resources into fighting yet another 'threat.' Shooting each-other will only further exhaust our respective resource pools and strengthen the Republic of Liberty. On the flip side, if we were to focus our efforts against the 'Republic', the damages done to the corporatocracy might increase exponentially. This alone is cause enough reason for a partnership in the eyes of the BDM.
You must understand that we face the same trepidation as you do. However, we in the Bureau understand that battles are won by taking risks, and wars are not won alone. I personally think this philosophy applies to both our organizations. As you said however, trust is key.
Now, this has been a nice preamble concerning the situation in which we find ourselves. Business, however, is business and questions need to be answered.
What can we offer you as a sign of our trust? I am afraid there are not many options at this point in time due to both the distance between Liberty and Rheinland as well as our own government's queezyness. What we can offer you currently is limited to covert support for the Lane Hackers.
Food shipments from Stuttgart, arms shipments form Munich, raw materials from the omegas. These are the things we can currently offer. If the relationship between our respective organizations were to grow, I think we could certainly add more options to the table. However, as you say, trust is key in this relationship. While it would be beneficial to work together, we have no reason to trust you yet.
I think the question now is, what can the Lane Hackers do for us to show that they are trustworthy?
