"Kelsen, you old curmudgeon. It's been too long. How fortunes change, eh'? But several months ago I was running for my life, and you, you were filling in for me. Possibly exceeding me."
"You're going to want to be sitting down. My office has squirrelled away a veritable hoard of coalition-manufactured ordinance, avionics, and tactical systems on Oder shipyard. Enough to fill several bulk transports to the plates. I've linked you the origin, of course, but the less said about our source, the better for their continued utility. The goods are warehoused, ready for collection by your company."

"Analysing the technical capabilities of the Coalition will benefit the necessary crash development programs the government will have to fund to press forward with our spacecraft production industries. I'm sure your corporation will press forwards. I am not an engineer, but every available asset to our defence forces must be pursued to the root. "
"Please inform me if the hardware is of any use to your aerospace and ordinance committees. At the least, they will provide information as to the capabilities of our enemies, and allow our military an opportunity to exercise with dissimilar equipment, along with tuning our equipment for better adaption to the rigours of red menace. "
"The exchange put me out of pocket, Albert. I hope Rheinland benefits from the trade."

ESTABLISHING VIDEO FEED
Ah my dear Linus,
excuse my late response, it has been a busy time for us all lately, hasn't it? It is good to see you in good health and spirit.
It would be hard to supersede you since your dedication to the Imperial dream has always been unquestionable. We all simply play our parts, don't we?
I had the cargo delivered to the Ring and what you have left us is quite a gift indeed. Our research division is already salivating over the treasure trove. The Coalition has been a thorn in Rheinland's side for too long and anything that gives us an edge over the Federalists is a welcome addition to the arsenal of the Empire. The source of the cargo is shady but I doubt we can allow ourselves to be picky at this point of time.
Let me know if you would like Daumann to compensate you for this find, there is no need to run the expenses out of your own pocket. After all this is a service to all of Rheinland.
