Guten tag, fraulein Hex and other RAP members.
You've asked to start relations from clean state. We've told you, that path back to Volksrevolution's ideals will be hard. Seems you've chosen easier way by allying yourselves with Corsairs. Yet we're ready to give you opportunity to explain yourselves.

Supplying Corsairs with basic goods(namely-Oxygen) is something we can't tolerate.

Hex is quite angry.

"Herrr Ludewig. Are all hessians this paranoid?" Hex steeples her fingers together. "You take a small transport on a cartographical mission as a sign of some conspiracy between the Partei and corsairs. Let me make things clear! The ship stopped in there for some rest and refueling after a long journey mapping systems for the Partei's archives, If this mythical alliance that you claim existed, then your fight with the corsair in frankfurt earlier would have gone differently."

Hex sighs. "Have i made any hostile actions towards the hessians? Have i declared the Partei's allegiance to a particular side? Nein! But this paranoia makes me wonder about mental state of hessian leaders. Next time you want to claim conspiracy, do try und provide more than paranoia and suspicious delusions."


Auf wiedersehen,
~ Hex.

Tag again, fraulein Hex.

So you're claiming Oxygen wasn't intended to supply Skiros base? Good.
But I'm curious, why would Partei want to "map" Deep Omicrons? You have some interest there?
Secondly, I've received report of herr Draay about fight in Frankfurt. He's claiming that you've simply watched how Corsair was shutting down his ship systems. I would expect that from Zoner. Or Junker. But certainly not from the one, who calls himself a Rheinlander.
As for hostile actions towards Hessian movement, supporting Corsairs is one.

Fraulein Hex.
Oberkommando's patience has it's limits. You've almost reached them. Failing to provide explanations within next 24 hours will result in major concequences for your Partei.

Hex is relaxing on a chair

"Herrr Ludewig. You ask about our interest in mapping the Omicron and Omega systems. Well it is simple. Curiosity. We are not like the unioners of previous organizations. We endeavor to keep up to date maps of the regions for the Partei records, especially with the changes caused by past ION storms and other occurences."

Hex sighs. "As for the witnessed fight, at the time i witnessed it your pilot was, in my belief, 'winning' the engagement at that point. Aside from that, the vessel i was flying at the time was not equipped, nor designed to take on fighter class craft. Or is it Hessian policy to employ vessels in roles that they are not suited for?"


Auf wiedersehen,
~ Hex.

Fraulein Hex.
We've received quite strange information from one of our undercover agents.


It appears, that you're using corsair warship. Oberkommando guesses that you found abadoned wreck of that gunboat in Deep Omicrons and then repaired it on your shipyards to nearly perfect condition. For your own safety, I hope that Oberkommando is not mistaking.

"Herr Ludewig. Indeed there ist one salvaged wreck undergoing some field testing. Partei engineers salvaged and rebuilt the vessel to provide much needed strength to the Partei fleet. Depending on how the tests go, we may look to salvage further wrecks, should we come across any."

Hex sits up. "I know how you hessians can be so suspicious, but im sure you can see the inherent value of salvaging a vessel, regardless of who originally built it. Do not, however, construe this as a siding with the corsairs. We have nothing to do with the cretans or their activities. I hope that satisfies the Oberkommando's concerns."


Auf wiedersehen,

Fraulein Hex.
We actually tired of your lies. First you're "refuelling" on corsair bases, then you're mysteriously "salvaging" a gunboat. What's next? You'll "occasionaly" let corsair scum to use your bases to stage their raiding parties within Rheinland?

Instead, we think that this Imperator class gunboat were granted for your support of Corsairs. Which's quite logical-you're bringing supplies for them, they're sharing some of their ships. Not to mention that making such complicated ship work without having some blueprints is hard task.

From now, Rheinland Arbeiter Partei members will be treated as hostile. Betrayal of ideals of Volksrevolution cannot be tolerated.

Hex is really angry.

"Herr Ludewig, what delusions you choose to believe are up to you. Unlike you hessian mutts, the Partei does not seek the backing of outsiders. We do not deal with the corsairs, for that would not help Rheinland. You, and your lackeys however, seem fine to consort with those who would destroy the Rhein completely. Your talk of upholding the ideals of the volksrevolution? I would say its more your leader's lust for sole dictatorial power. In simple terms, He wants to be the next Kanzler with all the power for himself. Why else would you consort with the enemies of the Rhein? Those communist schwein who care nothing for the volk, the rhein or anything besides power for their insane leader."

Hex's words are loaded with venom.. "You claim to be the heralds of the people's revolution. False, i say! You are nothing more than communist puppets who care only for themselves and the power they can greedily take. A true volksrevolutionary would work for the people, and not oppress the ordinary worker. He would target the corrupt schweinhunds in power. But that does not serve the true hessian goals! no, to give power back to the people would go against all the greedy desires of the hessian oberkommando."

"The Arbeiter's Partei are the true champions of the volk! We care for the Rhein, rather than just ourselves. If you ever wish to actually help better the Rhein, then cut ties with the communists. That will prove you put Rheinland first! Until then, go burn in Hölle! "


~ Hex.
