Frau Eistochter.
I couldn't help but notice your response to Herr Klugmann on that open channel. I admit, I myself was somewhat tempted to render unto him constructive criticism, but I'd prefer to maintain my partial mystique for the time being. I'm contacting you because we share a similar outlook on our mutual.. friend's recent venture, but there's also the fact that Doctor Haupt has gone missing and from your tone and motifs, I can only assume you're part of a unique sect of the Bundschuh.
Consider this my attempt at establishing contact with yourself and this sect. If you're curious as to what my interest in a small group of activists and perhaps militants is, then I think it's quite obvious that Rheinland is my Home as well. More than this, it's a Home I intend to see governed properly and liberated from the current regime.
I prefer to limit my words and I think I've said enough to facilitate first-contact, should you feel such is appropriate then it would be your turn to perhaps clue me in on what I don't know.
Auf Wiedersehen.

I must admit I am surprised to see anyone still care about the fate of Rheinland and having genuine interest what the 'old guard' of the Bundschuh is up to. It pleases me that there are still those in the Coalition have interest in the Volksrevolution and so I will give you some answers. The group I am affiliated with is the Rote Adler, a planet Nuremberg-based group of revolutionaries that I have a long history with. As I led the Bundschuh movement we worked well together and our interests increasingly aligned and when the Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee collapsed they remained loyal to the revolution.
After, the remnants of the VWA as well as Annika's Frühlingwache failed to regain control of the Bundschuh, my supporters and I decided to join forces with these true comrades and lay low. I fear that the popularity of a militant course for the Bundschuh has dwindled in the years after I was removed as party leader and for my own safety I reside far away from Rheinland, but I remain vigilant and convinced that a time will come. I added an attachment from newspaper. I of course do not agree with many of the terms used in this, but it should give you an idea on how others view us.
Attachement: Excerpt from a Nürnberger Tagblatt article on terrorism Wrote:Rote Adler represents the hardliners of the Bundschuh movement. Originating from a far-left militia on Planet Nuremberg, the sect is one of the few that has grown from local group to becoming a Rheinland-wide organisation. They are only the fourth largest sect at quite some distance from die Weiße Rose, the VWA remnants and the Frühlingwache, but their influence is still noteworthy and their attacks on the Bundesrepublik regularly shock Rheinland.
Rote Adler forms the bulk of the so-called Eistochterist tendency. Centred around the former party leader known only by her nomme de guerre ‘Freya Eistochter,’ this school of thought emerged from the rivalry between Eistochter and then-Oberst of the Verenigte Widerstandsarmee Erich Klugmann. Whereas Klugmann favoured the ‘populist’ approach, which focused on educating the general population politically and a relatively less violent revolution (though still not shunning murder and destruction), Eistochter advocated a ‘militant’ strategy of guerrilla warfare. Current day Eistochterism retains the same characteristics as it had in the past: Focused on armed struggle and intensely ideological.
Rote Adler is often considered extremist even among the terrorists of the Bundschuh, for both their violent methods and their revolutionary views, and they are often shunned by pacifist, centrist and conservative elements. However they earned some respect thanks to the reputation of their leader, Freya Eistochter, who has led the Volksfront, was a key figure in the Widerstand and, most importantly, led the Bundschuhpartei twice.
As for Klugmann, he is a fool of course. He pretends everyone is equal and yet he also raises himself as the saviour of all of Sirius. His ways may have changed, but I am sure they will as always remain naive.

Frau Eistochter.
What you say is true. I suppose it's just unfortunate that a man I heard so much about has fallen prey to petty delusions that the People are damsels and he is their savior. Regardless, Klugmann is not a topic of interest for me as of now, he may become one depending on his actions and choices, but for now I'm more concerned with something far more pressing.
I often find myself looking in the mirror and wondering exactly how it is that I'm helping liberate my home from the safety of New Moscow. With the Bundschuh still in a very fragile situation as of the moment, I feel I must involve myself more and offer assistance wherever such is appropriate. Don't allow prejudice to get the grip of you just yet, I'm nothing like my peers, I have no intention of turning you into a proxy. I simply feel it is prudent for me to cultivate cordial relations between us given our similarities.
We will both do everything in our power to bring about the necessary change and we will never stop. Though I take no pleasure in taking lives, I very rarely find effective alternatives.
How can I assist you, Frau Eistochter?
