Zdravstvuite, comrade Alexey Novikov.
We have not communicated personally for a long time and I understand the value of your time, but now there is a situation in the context of which I would like to know your opinion.
I am trying to establish relations with a fraction of zoners called Velvet.
They agree to mine iridium at the lowest price, but they also would like to get one Typhoon class cruiser to use it in the fight against nomads.
I understand that this is a valuable product and falling into the wrong hands is undesirable.
To promise such things is beyond my competence, therefore I am turning to you and I hope that you will help to find a solution in this situation.

Zdravstvuite, comrade Tykovkin.
We encourage your self-sufficient politic, and glad to see how Rostock under your governing already bring benefits for People's Republic.
But this deal is not possible. Typhoon-class destroyer is basis of Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army might, and selling it to whoever but our trusted allies from Omega triumvirate is not allowed by State Duma and Army command. Despite any benefits from trade alliances, we dont have any excess to spare, neither we can allow to everybody collect intel about our weak sides.
Volgograd Ordinance only allowed for selling in current moment, with some restrictions regarding possible reselling to hostile entities.
I'm avise you to get in contact with Order. Or find zoners group who consider money enough as payment.
This request is denied by High Commissariat of Science and Technological Advancement.

Selim.
You were always one of the few people I considered a friend, but as of late you've been disappointing me most greatly. I will confess, I initially supported the move to establish a temporary peace with Bretonia but the operative word in this confession is temporary. I had no plans of becoming their close friend in the Omegas and turning a blind eye as they kill both countrymen and mock the working class by parading around in Dublin. To add insult to injury, I've been approached several times by an outright imperialist to use my influence over our friends, as if to somehow bully them into subservience with arbitrary threats of repercussion.
The Kremlin is decidedly against me on this, they would rather become sock-puppets so long as some new real-estate is secured. But I holster every ship, every man and every gun in my belt. And the People will never stand against the military with the status quo of the current regime being the way it is. Think about it, why would they? We fly above them everyday all year round, commit ourselves to "Glorious" death and ask for nothing in return. They will join because they know we have the monopoly on force, and that if they interfere then they will die.
I am hereby overruling the authority of the Duma and declaring His Watchful Eye a traitor. Presumably you want to keep your office and continue to fairly administrate over the People at large, and admittedly you've done a good job of that. If such is to be the case then I advise that the Kremlin be quite low on your list of places to visit in the coming days. If you intend to take their part and stand against me, then I'm sure you understand what must follow.
We've come too close to a success to forfeit our tradition in favor of collective misguidance. And to deviate any further is to throw us across the line of no return. The Military is ready, they are rested, conveniently steered away from major commitment besides presenting themselves as an object of intimidation above Tangier. It is characteristic of Bretonia to forego all semblance of values giving the sprawling incompetency of its parliament. If you intend to make us identical, then you must understand that I cannot allow it.
I've presented you with two options. And I will present every individual on Canaria or Sydney, whatever the travesty might be with the same. Join, or die. We are to wash out like a raging tide of red across the stars and crucify it in the fires of its own inadequacy. To bring order and ideological purity to every misguided House Government either through our own means or through cooperation with our allies in the pursuit of shared success.
Remember the flag behind you or lie broken with the rest of the Kremlin's occupants.

Guess this were some commissariat codes, don't dig into this.
Somethings obviously gathering around planet Volgograd. Civilian channels, with rare exceptions, silent on any notable matter and we don't sure is it HWE or putschists stopped communications. Still no any statement from Premier's office.
Expeditionary Corps, as well as border guard already stated about their apolitical stance. Didn't speaked with Minister of Plenty yet, but probably she will refrain too. Same could be said about other social services quartered in New Moscow.
Whatever will happens in Kremlin, i believe the supply chain won't be interrupted. Tykovkin - don't choose sides, despite any propaganda you will see or hear. Most of coalition services will continue work as before. Left those internal conflicts to Politburo. Treat vessels with coalition IFF as before, just be careful about what you will tell to the strangers. Better keep your personell, except your officers without knowledge on this matter.
We will inform you if situation will get clear. If anything, we will try to launch reserve retranslator around your sector. Our personell on Kamchatka as well will sustain stable communications with Rostok.

Zdravstvuite, comrade Novikov.
The idea with I am addressing to you may be doubtful, but it has its advantages and will probably help the Coalition and its people.
Since the station is remote from the center of the political power, military and other, we can say that we can afford some concessions, of course, I do not want to say that we are going against the ideas of the coalition, however...
As much as possible officially, I want to request the opportunity to give people and ships who left Coalition visit and maybe live at Rostok.
Dissidents who left Coalition still our people and if we can reintegrate them or give a second chance to live in peace it will be greate.
There is still much to consider, however, if everything will be done as it should we will be able to eliminate the possible threat from our enemy who could use our brothers and sisters against us.

Zdravstvuite, comrade Tykovkin.
Yes, this will be beneficial for everybody. Most of those people never posed real threat to Coalition, and can be returned while conducting some safety protocols.
First at all, information about Rostok being "safe haven" for them shouldn't went by official channels. Try use Alferova's brother for the start.
In second, every new person should be interviewed, while copy of interview sent here. If person will pose potential threat or pocess important data for the Coalition, our agent will come at Rostok to deal with it.
In interview you or your officer should in free form ask next questions:
Why they left Coalition
What force them renew connections with Coalition
Would they like return at all
Preferable, if those would being asked in free manner, without pressure. Returning people shouldn't be concerned about our interest to them.
Treat it as an approval of your initiative, while you will conduct abovementioned protocols.

I saw, you already in course of all events in New Moscow. Right now, when war with Kingdom of Bretonia started, we have concerns about what kind of information ex-Premier will transfer in their hands. This matter still investigated by special group in Kremlin.
Jr.Leutenaunt Krasenkova should already arrive at Rostok. She have the packet with required adjustments in our encryption protocols. You should fix your equipment as fast as possible, to prevent possible information leaks or infiltration. She will help you with it.

Zdravstvuite, comrade Novikov.
I would like to receive official information about the situation that led Alferova to the Rostok, her case and the case of her brother if this is in our archives and of course the official reason why he is considered a traitor.
First of all, Katerina herself is afraid that she might be tortured again or, even worse, and I would like to clarify whether it is possible to get any guarantees or, possibly, official documents, that she is clean and there are no open cases against her.
I think if it comes out to make the first precedent with Alferova’s brother, then we can try to spread the word with rumors that dissidents can return to their native lands, of course, without details about the interrogation or the difficulty of returning those who did something extremely unacceptable we just give them the opportunity to believe.
