Bundschuh kameraden.

My name is Rita Schønning, a pilot for the Rotfront Hessian cell. I've already had the pleasure of fighting along independent pilots, The Platform and Neue Widerstandsbewegung pilots in Dresden and New London on several occassions where these people showed reliability, determination and professionalism in combatting the imperialists. But today, I'm contacting you with a personal request as experts in salvaging the Military hardware and putting it back to working shape.

In the past, I have spent a good amount of time in the seat of a 90-ARKM-N9 "Valkyrie" space superiority fighter. While I can appreciate the versatility of Odin, it feels a tad too bulky and sloppy for my taste. Henceforth I am wondering if Bundschuh of Saverne could provide me with two salvaged Valkyries and assist in bringing them back to operational condition. Something I could do myself but it'd take unreasonably more time and resources that I'm willing to allocate, especially when turning to people with proper expertise is an option.

Let me know if you'd be willing to go through with this personal request, and on what terms.

Rita Aus.

Rita Schønning;

I am Ernst Riemann, responding to you on behalf of the Platform. We are currently preparing for one of our scheduled cell relocations, and so our inventories are packed for transport and will be inaccessible until we have fully redeployed our operational control center.

In the spirit of cooperation, we are willing to send you the schedule and route of an MND transport vessel that is set to ferry civil war era decommissioned 90-ARKM-N9s to Alster Shipyard in Hamburg from Mainz Storage Facility in Frankfurt.

If you are interested, we can relay the details to you.

From,

Ernst Riemann, The Platform

Kamerad Riemann.

Pleasure meeting you, Riemann. I'll speak plainly - it's the ends that matter to me, not the methods that make them meet. We will be sure to make good use of information you're willing to share and see that there's some benefit for the Platform in it, too. Depending on the acquired stock and demand among our pilots, the rest of decomissioned fightrers that will see no use in our ranks can be transferred over to Platform's base of choice.

Rita Aus.

Rita Schønning;

Our most up-to-date intelligence concerning this shipment is as follows:
One RT-41-PFT "Uruz" Rheinland Container Transport bearing a shipment of decommissioned 90-ARKM-N9 hulls and parts will be departing from Mainz Storage Facility in Frankfurt to somewhere within the Westerwald security zone, to Hamburg, then through the Alsterfield to Alster Shipyard.

Spoiler

As the Westerwald is highly patrolled, Sector F5 of the Alsterfield in Hamburg is the ideal operational area for the cargo interdiction. Intel suggests that arrangements have been made between the MND and the Unioners to ignore the shipment, which means the transport will likely be unescorted and not expecting any engagements.

It is expected that the convoy will take place within the next two days, precise timing will be difficult to gauge - though we will know when it departs Mainz Storage Facility towards the Westerwald and can relay this information to you as it comes.

Kameraden.

Shipment interdiction was a success. Narrowly, but our deployed ship made it to rendezvous and eventually to the end point. We've the hulls, the powerplants, the weapons - all it takes is put the puzzle back together, in which the Bundschuh have vast, unrivaled expertise in Rheinland underworld. I'm eager to welcome a duet of such specialists to guide our assembly crews to get the job done and see the ships in working condition.

I also expect Marinenachrichtendiensts will be looking to patch up the leak. If you've a symphatiser in the ranks that may get compromised - now's a good time to get them out.

Grüß Gott,

I'm Ralf Lobgesang, New Resistance. Gotta be honest, wasn’t exactly thrilled to respond to this. Valkyrie in the hands of a Hessian pilot? Yeah, that's not something I hear every damn day. Look, I used to be a mechanical engineer for Daumann back in the day, so I know my ships inside out. Got no illusions about that.

Now, me and my team, we take a lotta pride in our work and what it’s used for. So yeah, it’s pretty clear we're not too keen on seein’ our hard work used for... well, the shit you lot get up to.

That being said, I know some of our people might be dumb enough to walk into this with blinders on, so I figured we might as well just handle it ourselves. Me and my crew? We can build and fix damn near anything. You say it’s busted and needs replacing? That’s crap. If it was built once, it can be fixed. Send us the parts and we’ll fire up the assembly.

I’ll even cut you a deal, Frau Schønning. You’re hoggin’ space in the plant, but we’ll do the job free on one condition: we’re the only ones touching that ship from here on out. I’m not about to let some clueless jackass with a wrench ruin our work.

If that works for you, we’re good. Deal?

Für Rheinland,

Ralf Lobgesang
Activist of the New Resistance

Grüß Gott, herr Lobgesang.

I imagine you'd appreciate so I'd cut to the chase, so I will do just that. We have the parts, the containers included a full Valkyrie package as I remember it, down to the weapons and power plants. Though VP proplusion is so common even us, Hessians, have no trouble providing a new one to install. But anyway. This is a better kind of deal I'd dared to hope for.

You and your crew will have exclusive access to both ships, and all the parts you may need to get them back in space.

Rita Aus.
