To: Liam Adama, DO Bowex. From: Rt Hon. Andrew Maloney, MP, MBE. RE: A message of urgency.
My time as a Bowex employee (and later as the great company's Director of Operations), were some of the happiest of my life. That joy was surpassed only by the scant time I could spare to spend with my family. They are why I contact you now, as a matter of desperation. They are why I pen you this communication, grave in tone, devoid of my usual joviality. Reminiscing over past events and situations can be postponed until a later date, should you have the time.
Ever since my retirement, I became increasingly interested in politics. During the last general elections, I stood for the Royalist party and won my constituency's seat as a Bretonian MP. As proud as I am of this achievement, I have lived to rue it - my current position of influence has placed my family in dire and extreme danger. You see, they reside on Planet Baden Baden. In Stuttgart.
It is only a matter of time until the Rheinlandic Bundestag realises the position of power they have over a Bretonian politician, in this time of war. At that point, the freedom of my family shall be forfeit. Under my advisement, they have gone into hiding, at a family lodge in the mountains. Since then I have lost contact with them. If they attempt to contract a private shuttle, they will be snatched by customs at Ulm Border Station.
I beseech you, Liam, aid my family - me. I will reimburse the company handsomely for extracting them. I am at my wit's end with distress. This is outside of the BPA's mandate, and the BAF are tied up with more pressing concerns - the Armed Forces can scarcely afford to launch an invasion of Stuttgart for my benefit.
However, I know what Bowex can do. I myself witnessed the birth of Division 7, and the amazing feats they successfully enacted. Your men could certainly infiltrate Stuttgart and extract my kin before Rheinland's forces even knew what had happened. I can utilize my influence to ensure Baden Baden's docking crews will briefly allow you access to their facilities, too.
I know Bowex can do this. I know it is within your power to bring my children and their children home. I beg of you, please consider this request. If not as a favour to a friend and fellow servant of the Crown, then as a contract from an extremely wealthy benefactor. I have appended a list of those in hiding at the bottom of this communication.

Subject: Your request
Dear Mr Andrew Maloney
I have heard your rather urgent request. After a moment of deliberation which lasted about roughly 2 and half seconds, I have decided to order the infiltration of planet Baden Baden and retrieve your family, you do not need to pay for this consider this a personal gift of gratitude from myself also no man should pay to see their family are safe apart from kusari and the sairs who are beyond my compassion.
Therefore I have tasked my most capable pilot and infiltrator this most important task of rescuing your family. He will undoubtedly be forming right this minute either a simple plan which is ingenious or a cunningly complex tactic. I also hope to speak to you shortly after your family's return to Bretonia in particular about a present you left on Glasgow.
Yours
Liam Adama
Director of Operations

To: Liam Adama, DO Bowex. From: Rt Hon. Andrew Maloney, MP, MBE. RE: My sincere thanks.
I cannot thank you enough, Liam. I owe you a profound and grave debt. If ever I can help the company - help you - in Parliament or otherwise, let me know. Andrew Maloney does not renege on his debts, no sir, I don't! My bodyguards are refusing to allow me to wait on Douglas, because of the 'danger' and the 'risk'. Poppycock. I once stared down a battlegroup of Phantoms. What can a menagerie of pompous and self-inflated Jerries hope to achieve?
Regardless, I have acquiesced to their nagging, and will be holding on Lord Haethorn's estate on Planet Cambridge. When your man has completed the operation, I will proceed to the Battleship Norfolk, post haste, to be as close to the front as possible. I hope to meet him there, and be reunited with my family - if that can be accommodated into your man's plan, that is.
Once this dire situation has been resolved, I would of course be delighted to discuss at length the Glasgow Incident. Although I am now free of Bowex's "badger gag-order", I have been unable to share my tale with any other, either due to their inadequate security clearance or the political implications of their knowing. I would be glad to retell you the full story, my friend.
