There is more.
Within the last fourty eight hours, the Bering conclave has confirmed reports of their partisans capturing and securing - alive - Flottillenadmiral Stefan Hofmann, the second brightest head of the chimera. He will not talk, of course, being the spy that he is.
We have him in rotation between installations, increasing the longevity of his capture. He is a critical component of the Federal Intelligence Complex and we will have little time before they recapture Hofmann or force us to arrange is execution, so our present advantage must be pressed.
This man possesses tactically and politically critical information on both the Federal Goverment's internal workings and the whole spectra of BDM black programs. We will never have an opportunity like this one again, nor will the Federals fall for the same trap twice.
We offer you this information freely. If you have any guidance as to how we can conceal our man more effectively, now is the time to show it.
Regards,
Armin Jansen.
