Guten Tag, meine Freunde,
It has been far too long. The lanes have grown colder, the markets more dangerous, and too many familiar faces have vanished into the void. Still… not all bonds fade.
The Unioners remember the days when the Corse stood with us when trade ran smooth, and trust meant more than any credit transfer. In that spirit, we’ve sent a modest shipment of goods your way a token of friendship, and a reminder that the old alliance still holds weight among those who honor their word.
As proof of our intent, and for your internal review: Transmission
Attachment – Shipment Record.
No tricks, no hidden agenda. Just goodwill, and perhaps the beginning of something more.
We’d like to propose a meeting in Zürich neutral ground, easy to reach, and far enough from prying eyes. Our intent is simple to listen. To understand how the Unioners might assist the Corse, whether through logistics, convoy security, or resource coordination.
If you’re open to it, suggest a date and we’ll arrange transport discreetly.
It would be good to share words face-to-face again, rather than just transmissions and ghosts of what used to be.
Mit Respekt, Friedrich Kruger

Bonghjornu, Monsieur Friedrich Kruger! U mo amicu! It is a pleasure to hear from the Unioners again!
Indeed, it has been far too long. And I am really glad, and happy to see you all. I really hope you are all doing great. Like you said; many faces vanish, disappear. But one thing we can agree on, is the bond between the Unioners and the Unione Corse.
Let me introduce myself; I am H.S.H. Principal Alfredo Orsini, in charge of the Corsican Commission (a/k/a The Commission, (//High Command)). I intend to continue the traditions of my predecessors in continuing the trust between us.
First of all: grazie, really, for your generous shipment to Bourbon Base, and this transmission. This was received with surprise, alongside a tinge of nostalgia for the past. But I believe we should be focused on the future. While keeping what has made, the relation between the Unioners, and the Corse, so strong, so important, to both of ours, that credits are a second thought, compared to trust between us.
I fully believe in trust, therefore, meeting in Zürich is absolutely feasible. It would be a pleasure to meet our old friends again directly, as you said, instead of using simply transmissions. and never moving... but this is enough. Now, I believe a new future dawns on us. And like you said; trust means far more, when faced with the uncertainty of life. "And perhaps the beginning of more," this I cannot agree more with. The Unioners have always been an admired group of ours. And I hope it is the same even now for you.
I am coming back from a diplomatic mission rather far away from the AR Provence, so I believe I will be back directly to Zürich from Friday (7th of November, 751 A.G.S.), to Sunday (9th of November, 751 A.G.S.); Sirius Standard Time at around the "evening" and "night". I hope this is acceptable enough for you. If not, no problem at all. It can be moved further down the line, or even before the 7th. Scusami, amicu meu, if I said a bit much, and if it seems all a bit too over-the-top, I must say, that I am very excited.
Grazie again for this shipment, and your willingness to rekindle dialogue between our two groups.
We feel the same, I can guarantee you that. And I really hope to see you, and your comrades, very soon, and rekindle, our old ties.

Appreciated, Corsican friends.
I’m glad to hear your signal come through it’s been too long since our channels carried something other than static and ghosts of better days. Your response means more than you might think to the men and women still working the docks at Alster.
Sunday, November 9th works perfectly. Zürich is neutral ground, quiet enough for honest words and strong coffee both of which we’ll need plenty of. We’ll arrive under civilian transponder codes nothing flashy, just as agreed.
We’re bringing the records and manifests connected to the shipment, and a few trusted hands who can speak on logistics and joint security measures. But mostly, we’re coming to listen. To see what you need and how we can make ourselves useful again.
It’s good to be talking like this once more. Feels almost… normal.
Until Zürich,
Mit Respekt, Friedrich Kruger
