Enclosed are the names of three people who must be kept safe for the greater good of Rheinland.
I have done all that I can to ensure their safety, however it appears that my best has fallen short. I entrust these individuals to you in the hopes that their lives can be spared of the dissident camps that await them; it is a mortal sin to squander the lives of good men on the altar of ideological purity, and especially so for those with talents that may be needed by the Rheinsvolk in the coming days.
May my conscience be clear in the service of the Rhein.
I think it would be rather hopeful of me to ask for more information concerning yourself. I suppose it would be prudent to treat you as an individual with his mind on the people, as it were...
However, I will need to know more about the three 'dissidents' we are to be protecting. This would not be the first time the Bureau or other like-minded group has attempted to trap us in such a manner, so caution is always called for. If you can provide me with a way to pass on an encrypted message to them, we can take steps to spirit them and possibly their families away from harm.

Grussgott, Herr Gauss.
It is a relief to see that the movement is still alive. The few of us still operating within the bureaucracy feared the worst when communications with our contacts in the main Bundeschuh organization were severed several years ago.
It is unfortunate that we must contact you in this manner, however we ourselves are not certain whether you may also be an elaborate trap for men such as us - however it's become a matter of necessity to take the risk for our compatriots.
The 'dissidents,' to whom I refer, are researchers in Unit 62, an offshoot of classified research involving Experimental Xenobiotics and Integrated Applications. The exact nature of their work and the circumstances behind the warrants for their detainment can be best explained by the gentlemen themselves when they've been successfully exfiltrated.
Several hours ago, the Staatssicherheit Enforcement Division initiated the detainment of all listed suspected dissidents - apprehending both the named persons as well as any associated people. Though we have been unable to prevent the capture of their families, we've successfully smuggled the three on to a reconnaissance freighter en route to Kepler.
The Hekatoncheir, while an MND asset on paper, is crewed by... sympathetic personnel. A narrowband transmission on this channel can be used to contact the freighter if and when extraction of the three becomes possible - after which, the Hekatoncheir is to continue maintaining cover by resuming its own dedicated mission.
May my conscience be clear in the service of the Rhein.
Ja, the Rheinswehr seems to be getting rather good at blocking our lines of communication; sometimes it can be hard to get a message through, and it is risky to meet in person...
However, I agree that these things must be risked for the well-being of others. It is unfortunate to hear of their families' fate, but there is some hope that our 'mutual friends' can bring us closer to the Volksrevolution and the end of this kind of persecution.
I will contact this Hekatoncheir now, and arrange the so-called 'pickup' as soon as possible.
You must be the one of which the Handler spoke.
As you have most likely been informed prior, the three packages are on board for extraction.
Current mission objectives involve a patrol through a distant sector of Cortez, far from any prying eyes other than our own, and outside the operational range of most transceivers. An ideal location for the exchange can be determined for an on-site rendezvous, once the exfiltration ship is contacted in system.
Ping this frequency once a ship is in system, and we will answer the call.
After meeting with his contact aboard Invergordon, Gauss heads back towards the Cortez jumphole. As he emerges into the system, he opened up comms on the given frequency.
Space has been made in a pressurised section of my Marauder's hold, your 'packages' will be comfortable enough. An encrypted signal beacon disguised as solar radiation or somesuch will be enough to locate you. I'm sure your skills in subtlety can come up with a suitable method.

It would appear as though there's another matter that requires your attention.
SITE 62 TRANSPORT TEAM - SHIPPING ORDERS Wrote:ROUTING ORDERS - SITE 62 SCHATTEN RESEARCH FACILITY to SITE 04 MUNSTER RESEARCH STATION
MANIFEST - X01, X02 PROTOTYPE SCHEMATICS
A revolution requires weapons with which to voice the... malcontent... of the people. Though conventional weaponry may provide rudimentary firepower for now, keeping with the technology of the oppressor will be necessary. The X01 and X02 Prototypes are pre-production model armaments from the Site 62 Experimental Xenobiotics and Integrated Applications labs - I believe that the gentlemen that you've previously exfiltrated can give more details as to what the specifications are - and can potentially aid in the creation of a viable production model if the schematics are procured.
The Site 62 Transport team is part of the BDM Extended Logistics wing, specializing in the secure and covert transport of anomalous or hazardous materials. Their methods and routes vary greatly, and generally work with vastly different ships from mission to mission so as to avoid falling into predictable patterns. More information will be given as they are revealed.
May my conscience be clear in the service of the Rhein.
This information is most valuable, especially to the more 'militant' groups of the Volksrevolution. Perhaps a small alteration to this convoy's destination could be put in order.
The people the Hekatonchier extracted to us have been recovering and setting up on Bruchsal, I will have a further talk with them on this matter.

I've received news that the plans for the Prototype Hybrid Cannons have successfully reached Munster intact. It seems that the BDM| is now on high alert concerning the transport of the improved pre-production model plans back to Schatten for further testing.
The Site 62 Transport team has requisitioned armored support of an as-of-yet undetermined nature for the return convoy.
The opportunity yet remains to intercept the convoy its return trip to Schatten. Although the difficulty of the undertaking will now be increased, the improved plans may prove to be worth the risk.
