Guten Tag Herren, Kommisaroberat Koch, Flottilenadmiral Siegfried and Herr Direktor Amsel. As we know, we engage in various research projects. One of these is alien research. I would like to ask for one section of Schatten research facility. I am intending to use it for Nomad technology research, especially new weapon systems. My professional opinion about this issue is, that our gunboats and cruisers are lacking technology like prototype weapons which showed to be usefull when equipped on fighter crafts. We should experiment with new possibilities and usage of this technology and weaponry, hopefully with big guns now. Auf Wiedersehen! Kommissar Schlafenberg out.

Herr Kommissar,
The Flottillenadmiral and the Direktor are currently not reachable, which means that i have to take care of this matter. Not that i don't like this kind of paperwork but it is exactly this kind of paperwork which requires more attention than normal.
I need to examine your plans before i can give you green lights on your research project. So i can decide if it is in our area of possibilities and won't burst our budget.
That's all.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Kommissaroberrat Volker Koch

***Objective: Explanation of my plans***
Guten Tag Herr Koch. First of all, I must admit that I miscalculated the requirements of my planned projects. That means that one section of the base would be far to sufficient. This fact lead me to ask for two sections. To be exact, I am intending to use Section I and Section J for my research.
Reason of the need for these two sections is the fact that I am planning to get the content of the Münster base module which is currently located in middle of the New Hampshire system. You should actually know what do I mean. If you somehow don't know, Herr Kommisaroberat, I am handing this communication log to you.
The Section J of the Schatten Research Facility is the very same type of base module as the one which was originally part of the Münster Research Station. It would be logistically less complicated to place contents of the Münster module to this section and continue what the Münster researchers were doing. But I see a problem here. I don't even know what exactly I am going to save from range of Libertonian sniffing noses. Rumors, if it is correct to say it like this, says that there are some Nomad materials inside. Squad which will be sent into the module to recover the materials could be cautious and choosen out of the most loyal personell of the Buro or the Rheinwehr. I am also asking for the second section because I want to expand our knowledge about this dangerous alien race, the Nomads. The research I am planning to lead will require more than just that what is supposed to be inside the Münster module. I am talking about alien materials, ancients artifacts, remnants of their equipment or how to describe it... we know that they are in fact organic beings. More materials we have, the more we know about them. We will be required to leave safety of the Fatherland regularly and often, most likely to the Omicron systems. I am not intending to only gather more knowledge about the Nomads, but also use it practically. We use some experimental technology, even your Wraith has some if I remember correctly. As I've mentioned before, I would like to make these guns bigger. My effort should eventually end as an experimental Oder class gunboat refitted with Nomad inspired technology. We may use their tricks and knowledge against them. We both had some unpleasant encounters with these aliens so I know how dangerous they are. I know... this will be long way.
I am looking forward to your responce Herr Koch, Kommissar Schlafenberg out.

Herr Kommissar,
Sadly i can't provide you with more informations regarding the Munster module and its content. I can only say it is very important for us and further Schatten projects.
Herr Siegfried approved your proposal already. According to your informations you provided us, our chance to recover the content is lower than low. I think it is extremely unlikely that we will succeed. The easiest way is to destroy it. But it would be foolish to not give it a try because of the fact that its content is way too valuable for us.
You said you wish to upgrade an Oder class vessel. About which Oder class vessel do we speak, Herr Schlafenberg?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Kommissaroberrat Volker Koch

***Objective: My Oder class gunboat***
Guten Tag, I didn't expect your response this soon. I am in command of the U-104. You already know the vessel I am talking about. It is the newest gunboat of our Unterseeboote Korps and it is often sent on reconnaisance and sabotage missions into the Texas system. Until now, I was talking only about weaponnary, but we may attempt to reverse engineer more of Nomad technology. For example propulsion systems and shielding. I have mentioned that I would use the alien technology and knowledge to repel the Nomad threat, which is true but the U-104 could be able to continue it's current purpose even better than it does actually. To be straight, it may be used as an effective weapon in the war against Liberty. However, there is a possibility that Libertonian forces damage or disable the vessel. We can't afford this eventuality, Liberty government would have clear evidence of the fact that Rheinland is engaging in alien research and seeing our efforts in their hands would not be acceptable. Prototype technology can be equipped with emergency self destruct devices, but sometimes even this way can't protect it against possible misusage. Anti Libertonian future of the U-104 is then up to you and the High Command, out.

Herr Kommissar,
I'm not worried that Liberty could uncover our Nomad projects. They might be aware of it already. I'm more worried about the possibility that they could use the munster module against us.
However, you shall get what you asked for. I will hereby grant you access to Schatten and its laboratories. You will have the command over your project with all its responsibilities, plus a level 3 clearance at Schatten with access to level 3 sections and below which covers the requested sections "I" and "J". You may use drydock A-2 for assembly works. Keep me informed about the status of your project.
You have my blessings. Don't disappoint me.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Kommissaroberrat Volker Koch
Büro der Marineintelligenz, Internal Affairs
Guten Tag Herr Koch, You wanted me to keep informing you about mein project status. You may have noticed that the levels of loud and tremors on decks of our facility are rising with every minute.
This mess is caused by the fact that the construction of the several times mentioned drilling device has begun... Finally, I have to admit. I couldn't wait anymore, we couldn't... You can see a scaffold rising and various construction robots moving from point A to point B and back, if you look from the office, or from the outside at the drydocks. I think it's time to open some Bier ja?

Guten tag,
I see the operation makes progress. However, it is still too early to celebrate. Unfortunately we don't have much time. The ceasefire with Liberty has been set in force and peace negotiations will follow soon. They will believe we have abandoned the module. Use this chance to launch a surprise attack. The Libertonians won't be happy about your house visit, so... expect some resistance in New Hampshire. Also try to hide your identities.
Operation "Maulwurf" is exempt from our rules of engagement. This means, you and your team may use all means, to ensure the successful extraction of content and the subsequent destruction of the module together with all its evidences. Eliminate every single threat that could arise during the operation. This also applies for civilian vessels and allied units, should they cause trouble. The content is way too important for us. We can not allow us to fail.
Karl, i know i can count on you. Should this go well and i will hold the research data in my hands, be assured, i will ensure you don't need to worry about financial matters anymore.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Direktor Volker Koch
Büro der Marineintelligenz, Oberkommando
