Sehr geehrter Herr Vonbeck,

I zank you for contacting ze Rheinland Polizei regarding zis matter. I received your memo a few days ago, but haven't had time to process your inquiry yet. Since you like to attract attention so much, I have already sent a patrol to inspect your installation.

I assume your message concerns ze following stations:

Junker base

Name	Affiliation	Administrator	System	Sector
McBoyles Schrottplatz	Junker	Festus McBoyle	Frankfurt	C5

Since you introduced yourself as a Junker, I would like to see some kind of purchase contract or agreement from Kruger Minerals stipulating ze acquisition of ze station. Unfortunately, ozer Junkers have knowingly provided false information in ze past, making zis step necessary.

As you already know, by imperial edict of ze Rheinland Ministry of Economic Development, all modular installation owners have to submit zeir quarterly license renewal to ze Rheinland.Treasury.2 since ze 1st july 828 A.S. My government contact did confirm your last submission to date back only for Q2, which means you have already overdrawn your valid license duration permit by 2 monzs. Zis behavior is unacceptable and it will lead again to a fine according to §7.10..

Before I can furzer process your initial request, please provide ze proof of transfer of:

• 500.000 sc as quarterly fee to Rheinland.Treasury.2
  
• 333.333 sc as overdrawn fine to KPR|Bounty.Board
  

After you submitted ze above mentioned, necessary requirements, I'll send you ze respective questionary.

Guten Tag frau Bommel,

Your efficiency, as always is highly appreciated und testimony to those who keep us safe.

I must admit, Ich do not like paying fines, but Ich hate more that we have incurred them to begin with! Please note the below transactions as outlined.

Uploading File

Ze harder bit, I have no certification for my enrolment with the company, other than my acceptance letter. From my past, I have witnessed many forgeries but this kind of scum is not who Ich associate with now. I am proudly enlisted with Kruger. I wish to put my mining, extracting, refining as well as salvaging and ship building skills to use for good purposes.

Please note confirmation of my enrolment, I have not long been to Essen Station for my first briefing.

Proof of enrolment within Kruger

To: Hanz Vonbeck
From: Essen Station - New Berlin
Subject: Krüger Mineralien Recruitment

Guten tag!

You are welcome as an employee at Krüger, Mr. Hanz Vonbeck. It is courageous men like you that Rheinland needs.

You are employed from now on at Krüger Mineralien. His currículun was accepted.
Be welcomed to Kruger family, im sure you will like being here.

Head to our Essen Station office in New Berlin for instructions and your mining credentials in Rheinland.

Stellvertreter: Krüger, Karl Mecker

Might I ask you reach out to the CEO yourself, for confirmation of my enrolment and of course, to enable absolute pristine clarity "From ze horses mouth" that this installation is indeed set to change to become Kruger?

Frou, Ich would also personally like your assistance with renaming ze station to something more appealing to ze eye, might you lend a hand?


All zhe best, Hanz Vonbeck.

Sehr geehrter Herr Vonbeck,

I took note of your application at Kruger. Since I recently had business wiz Herrn Mecker, ze current CEO, I see no reason at ze moment to doubt ze planned affiliation of ze station. However, I would like to know what happened to Mr. McBoyle and whezer or when ze station was taken over by you. Zey reported about ze interests of ze station about six monzs ago. Do I correctly assume zat you paid him out as ze new administrator?

As already promised, I have attached a prefilled questionnaire for registration to zis message.

You said you wanted to use your "mining, extraction, refinement and recovery and shipbuilding" skills. What exactly can I imagine?

• Due to no precise definition for "mining", I interpret every action zat, using a mining laser, is subject in accordance wiz §3.2.2.; as such, an agreement wiz Daumann Heavy Construction would be required, should you plan such an operation wizin zat system.
  
• Alzough I would razer assign salvaging ALG Waste Disposal, I would have to know in which area you're moving here. If you refer to ze operation at ze Halle Debris Field, I point out zat it is in accordance wiz §3.3.1.. Additional regulations, regarding ze transport of toxic waste, exist in ze empire. However, if you plan to process military salvage, I would like to point out, zat zis, in accordance wiz §3.1.1., is classified as "restricted good" and according to §7.7. a permit for trading would have to be obtained. For a small fee of 250,000 credits, I could try to submit ze corresponding application to ze Rheinland Ministry of Economic Development.
  
• I would also like to know what skills you want to use in ze field of ship building? Are we talking about ze production of components for ships or ze assembling of ze ships zemselves? Regarding ze latter, I would like to make sure, zat our citizens are not be forced to fly around in sloppy cobbled togezer barges. If you have ze corresponding qualifications for zis, I ask for a copy.
  
  Furzermore, I need to know, who ze main supplier of ze station is; would you get goods from ze nearby Mannheim station or would zey come from a different system?
  
  Ze purpose and planed trade agreements of ze station, as stated above, would help me to get your new installation a meaningful name.

Guten Tag frau Bommel,

Danke for coming back to me!

Herr McBoyle and I are close associates. At least we were. He'd get me involved in all of the different scrapping and clean-up contracts he had dotted around. We worked on, repaired and rebuilt many different ships as a form of recycling. It's kind of what a Junker does. What a straight Junker does anyway.

Ich completed all the work assigned and handed over my relevant profits of all cash funds I earnt from the last few contracts he got me before coming back to Rheinland. He left with the funds I earnt which was the last time I saw him. I'd only stayed here in Frankfurt as a guest prior.

Now? From our first meeting to now, I've been making this station as good as it possibly can be. The following activities take place on board:

1- Silver Ore is brought here for refinement into Silver.
2- A Helium-3 refinery is on board but unused.
3- Scrap refinement into Basic alloy.

Helium-3 was once shipped here before my owning of the station. It has not been used in my time and I'm not sure on the regulation of it, so haven't touched it yet. Some advice from yourself, would be appreciated.

Silver Ore is sourced from Kruger, even your own constabulary I believe? I could be wrong.

Scrap, hauled over for refinement from Kreuzberg.

Toxic Waste is removed by my own family owned Junker Salvager Frigate for disposal refinement in accordance with §3.3.1.

As far as ship building goes? My life as a Junker prior to becoming a Kruger employee as already mentioned, we are able to turn one man's junk into flawless ship parts, repair and build as we work. There's a reason Junker Salvager's are allowed to haul Toxic Waste, this quality speaks for itself, even if such quality is not met aesthetically.

Ze idea, is to begin and master the art of making ship components to begin with. Should the quality meet ze stringent standards required and with a proven track record, to then also be able to build mining ships for ze internal use of Kruger. Making & Maintaining them would significantly reduce ze kompanies costs if more shipyard space is available.

Az far as zhe supplies go? Everything is transported from within two systems of zhe base location. In fact, we currently require goods from further afield for which Ich hope to launch a request via zhe Neural Net to DHC or any Rheinland entity which can haul what we require.

For now, Ich would like to get all of zhe correct paperwork in line, address any concerns and make things correct.

Once on the way, Ich would like to meet the expectations of Herr Mecker by becoming fully operational, there is a lot of work to be done before we are finished.

Please note zhe filled out questionaire.

prefilled questionnaire

Name of the base:
McBoyles Schrottplatz - Looking to change this name, but I will always hold an archive of the fine man who once ran this station.

Sehr geehrter Herr Vonbeck,

did I understand you correctly? Have you been ze administration of ze station for over half a year when you first answered my message to ze scrap site? I have to remind you of your obligation as station leader. According to Article 7, §7.1.1. and §7.3., changes in ze administration to be reported as soon as possible at ze corresponding office or hard sanctions can be imposed.

I will make an exception in your case, because you want to officially take over ze base. However, do not expect negligence in such zings. Rheinland is proud of its jurisdiction and zese laws have been created for a good reason to protect ze empire and its citizens.

I zank you for specifying your project in more detail wiz regard to your installation. Ze government carefully makes sure zat new applications serve to ze well-being of ze empire. I would like to give you some information in zis regard:

• Zere is currently no regulation regarding transport, processing, finishing or resale from H-fuel. Rheinland gets its entire supply of ze Mannheim station in ze orbit of Heidelberg. Unfortunately, demand is higher zan procurement. In ze past we were forced to import H-fuel from Kusari and ze Gas Miner Guild. However, zis has decreased since ze last Kusari war and ze misdemeanor of ze Gas Miner Guild are no longer acceptable. Rheinland is not welcome in ze Sigmas, when it comes to ze H-Fuel acquisition. I would be reluctant to conjure up a conflict, however ... our jurisdiction ends at Fulda and ze trade wiz Kusari should not be influenced in accordance wiz Article 5 of ze Second Treaty of Nevers. Ze Rheinland Polizei would zerefore have no reason to patrol in ze Sigmas (unless we receive a distress call from a taxpayer).
  
• I cannot say zat zere is no police facility zat offers silver ore. However, our main outposts are not interested in trade. Rheinland holds an emergency reserve of refined silver, but zis is not ore. If you already have a regular supplier, zis would certainly be worz mentioning in ze application. However, I believe zat it would make more sense to simply import refined silver from ze Omegas.
  
• Instead of doing trade on Kreuzberg wiz questionable people, I would like to offer you a substitution to scrap metal. As stellvertretende Direktorin of ze penal colony Hammersee, I know from a reliable source, zat a new iron ore deposit has recently been discovered. Due to not (yet) understandable reasons, food supplies on ze moon are currently somewhat restricted. Maybe you would consider using iron instead of scrap for your purposes. Hammersee would generously reward any incoming load of food rations and at ze same time offer you iron for a low price. But I have to admit zat zis proposal is not unselfish. I assume, zis may lead to your installation is more capable to produce more basic alloy zan you actually need.
  
• Speaking of capable: due to ze lack of more capable officers in ze Rheinland Polizei, I am also administrations of ze New-Berlin prison. In ze past we had concluded contracts wiz ALG and Koepchen from Stuttgart to supply Spandau wiz ze necessary basic alloy. However, it does not seem to cover our needs at ze moment. Zerefore, my proposal would be to use ze overproduction of basic alloys for ze supply - our rehabitilation programs on ze installation produce a lot of toxic waste, which you could process if ALG does not want it.
  

You may zink "Why zese long pleadings?"
Well, you are going to basically petitioning some bureaucrats of Rheinland, who have less sense of humor zan MND agents. You have to convince and explain zese people why and how your installation serves ze benefit of ze empire. Pointing out of trade agreements, which have established before ze application, could improve ze acceptance.

As for a reasonable installation name, how about Vonbeck's Production Facility?

Guten Tag frau Bommel,

Ich was beginning to worry you had forgotten about me!

Ich is glad to be wrong!

We accept that we did indeed have control of zhe station fur over 6 months before we made Neural Net comms. As stated quite a few times, we lacked zhe correct communication protocols on zhe base of which are now fully operational. If zher is additional sanctions or fines to pay, we will comply. We would rather however zis be overlooked as zhe funds would be zehr gut put to use on bettering zhe station fur zhe good of Rheinland.

Fur zhe H-Fuel, we plan to leave this refinery dormant until opportunity presents for use or refurbishment into zomthing else.

Ich hears your plea for Hammersee, unit we will rise to zhe task. On board, we already have zhe capable Hydroponics und Ich believes we can ramp up zhe production, meaning zat once our Shipyard is komplete, we kan officially rename zhe vessels we have as Kruger unt in turn, begin taking food one way und Iron zhe other! What a fantastish idea!

Anozer benefit is zhe fact Ich holds on to zhe Salvager fur zhe Toxic Waste!

Zo many good zings. Coming to you was 100% zhe right thing to do, frau!

As fur zhe namen? Ich ist in charge, aber meune Ego ist nicht zehr gross zu nammen after myself.

Perhaps nammen "Wartung und Raffinerie des Raumschiffs Kruger"

Nein.... Nein.... Far too long.

We will think of zhe nammen eventually.

What ist zhe next steppen, frau?

All zhe best, Hanz Vonbeck.
