we'd like to request additional armaments to reinforce the area around our mining depot in Bering.
We've requested the cooperation of the ALG to retrieve Rheinland's war wreckage in the area. We're also regulating the mining operations there to avoid theft. All scrap is being sorted on Bristol Depot first and stored for shipment.
20.000 armaments would allows us to put up additional platforms and free up the capacities on the depot for further storage.
If you have further need for information please let me know.
Guten tag, you'll find the contract has been forwarded to our logistics pilots. It shouldn't take long for these supplies to be transferred on board your station. Contract payment will be in place for a rough sum of $50,000,000 USC (Fifty-Million Universal Sirian Credits) after the finalised arrival of munition supplies. We shall be in touch very shortly, please ensure cargo bays are cleared for delivery.

It seems that payment systems onboard Bristol were improperly setup, but instead of forcing you to pay out several millions to cover the costs of armaments being delivered, Des Buro has something else on its mind.
We're currently undergoing a re-armament stage and with full honesty our budget is forcing us to get creative. And while this is close to having me experience schadenfreude, Bering has been an unlawful mess of a site to both Law-enforcement and heavily armed criminals and is notorious for being a boneyard to many ships of all kinds. Especially ones of a heavier kind, ja?
Well, its been known that there was an old cruiser variant that tends to be floating unpressurized and found having a slow course of head-diving into the sun for permanent removal. While some criminal groups can't support a ship beyond modifications and repair, we can. While we can obtain some Donau's and potentially Bismark's from the graveyard, they're considered military property until we get approval from the supplier and they tend to charge us beyond our budget capability...
This is all I ask, if you do find a suitable frame, we consider you contact us immediately. The agency shall see about having it towed or partitioned down for salvaging. Your efforts will be very well paid.
From,
Hauptkommissar Erik Oberhauser

we're glad the supplies came in without issue. Our engineering teams are fitting the weaponry on new platforms as we speak.
And we're happy to accept the alternate payment. We've mapped huge parts of the graveyard already and I'm sure you'll find some of the bigger parts worth salvaging still.
We'll send you a list of the bigger Rheinland parts we're currently certain are in the field:
Rheinland ship remains within the Tanner Belt
3x damaged battleship class vessels
- Presumably 2 Bismarck class
- Presumably 1 Elbe class
11x damaged cruiser class vessels
- Presumably 9 Donau class
- Presumably 2 Hel class
2x heavily damaged battleship class vessels - drifted apart
- Presumably 2 Bismarck class
8x heavily damaged cruiser class vessels - drifted apart
- Presumably 1 Tirpitz class
- Presumably 5 Donau class
- Presumably 2 Hel class
37x gunboat class vessels in various conditions
- Presumably all Oder class
An uncounted amount of small craft
- Wraith, Phantom, Fafnir, Bergelmir, Arbeiter, Solidaritat, Eagle, Griffon, Hawk, Humpback, Tigershark, Sense, Sichel
5x damaged transport class vessels
- 4x Ragnar class
- 1x Uruz
12x heavily damaged transport class vessels - drifting apart
- 1x Collossus class
- 7x Ragnar class
- 2x Uruz class
- 2x Hegemon class
Some small craft is being sorted at Bristol depot as might some of the parts belonging to bigger craft.
Identified Rheinland state property is packaged for shipment back to Rheinland and we have about 10,000 cargo units ready for retrieval. The ALG will be supporting us in this endeavour as guaranteed to Rheinland Bundestag.
If you need more information or assitance in retrieval operations, please let me know.
Wunderbar, A most excellent result Frau Taylor, I'd hope that we'd have at least some chance of salvaging a single ship but it seems that we may have the possibility to acquire more than we anticipated too. But we're going to need more detail breakdown of the two 'Hel' class cruisers and several of the Donaus before we start salvage operations, this includes any serial designations, key-compnent conditions and hull integrity.
Please note that the two 'Hel' class cruisers are a priority retrieval effort. Auf wiedersehen.

while I'd like to give you more detailed information, it'll be difficult to give you anything beyond visuals and scans. We have not yet attampted to access Rheinland Military black boxes but we doubt that we'd succeed.
The Hel cruisers might also possibly be former Unioner vessels. We're not certain but if they are- or even if they aren't we might call a considerable Unioner force on our small salvaging operations.
May we involve the ALG to help us in acquiring more details about the wrecks? Would you like us to request them being pulled to Marshall Station so you can inspect them?
Don't worry about the Unioners, they seem to distracted and broken after their pitiful attempt at Veirlande and after their defeat from the Red-Hessian betrayal; But we shall still send in a security fleet to enforce operations there. Das Buro has already contacted ALG prior to this transmission. You should be expecting some contact from them very soon concerning some salvage work.

Guten tag, I'd just like to inform you that the BDM are in need of some assistance regarding logistik efforts. As of currently the Agency relies on a middleman to ensure storage of materials that we can not obtain ourselves to ensure a diplomatic issue doesn't arise between houses merely caused by our presence. We've noted that some modular facilities of yours are in a prime location to harbour supplies needed critically for us, as such we are requesting if Harmony could provide us with storage capabilities in return for a bi-monthly monetary compensation, Ja? I think 50 million credits sounds quite nice in your position although this can be negotiated.
From,
Hauptkommissar Erik Oberhauser
Büro des Marinenachrichtendiensts, Kommissarat, Logistik-7
I've relayed your message to my superiors and they have green lit your request to establish a small section on one of our installations. The question is, would you prefer to build on Marshall or Bristol.
Bristol has far more storage capacity. It is also a hotspot where civilian transports and those of many other groups buy sorted scrap and salvage.
Marshall is a military installation almost exclusively apart from families and rescued people, positive to our cause. The installation is further away and well protected but doesn't provide as much free storage space. And your people will be noticed.
Once you've made your choice I'll make the necessary arrangements.
We have examined our options and decided to lease space at Bristol, as that would draw less attention as you correctly pointed out.
I would like to hear if Hauptkommissar Oberhauser's bimonthly monetary offer for 30,000 metric meters of cargo space is acceptable by Harmony. While there are many available warehouses in Bering system, Direktor Enfield insists that we should first consider your offers as our long and trusted partners.
Should the offer be accepted, we will proceed with the specifics and more minor details.
