To: Order Overwatch

[ALG Classic]

To whom it may concern;

My name is Helmut Weinstein, director of Division V, of ALG Waste Disposal.
It is possible you have heard of us, but to give a brief introduction: We are ALG's answer to anything the rest of the company cannot deal with.
We gather intelligence, we arrange clandestine deals, we manage diplomacy with organizations we cannot publicly associate with - organizations like the Order.
Though contact between our respective organizations has been infrequent and largely indirect, generally via our mutual associates the Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee, I would like to say we enjoy at least comfortably neutral relations.
It is unfortunate that the Federal Republic of Rheinland banned your ships from the house, but we have on occasion managed to supply some degree of indirect material support.

The reason we are contacting you is the following: Several months ago, we were engaged in negotiations with the O'Rhu cell.
It was a rather peculiar back and forth, but in the end we agreed to supply them with a small number of VP-series MOX reactors, while they would provide two military advisors for ALG employment for one of our ongoing projects - the operation of an IMGC-104D Sagarmatha-class battlecruiser.
The ship itself is nearing completion at Singapore Shipyards, and the military advisors were to be attached to the ship's crew to assist them in the operation of a ship class our Security Division has no prior experience with.
In particular, we considered Order personnel ideal since the main anticipated threat we intended to combat, what we perceive as the main threat to Rheinland and indeed all of Sirius, is the Nomad menace - a point we can surely agree on.

Unfortunately, as we were finalizing the arrangement, a neural net crash formatted almost all our comm data, and I fear we may not be able to reach our O'Rhu contact again. If we do not manage this, we wish to inquire if we could reach a similar agreement with the Overwatch.
I have no idea if you would be interested in VP-series reactors, but they are far from the only thing we could provide in exchange, material or otherwise. Whether or not the deal with O'Rhu re-substantiates, I do not believe it would hurt to inform you of this project.

Now for my second point, and I'm certain you can guess what it is.
At the time the aforementioned deal was drawn up, we were neutral towards your struggle against the Core in the Omicrons.
Now, as you know, they have turned this into outright hostility after attacking our convoy. At this very moment the Gunboat Orkan is stationed in the area to respond to attacks on friendly traders, and we fully intend to bolster our forces in the Omicrons.
This means that for us, the logical next step is to pursue closer relations with the Order. We will also be contacting the VWA to coordinate efforts to assist both you and the Zoner populace. Though we always believed in the importance of the Order in combating the Nomad threat, it seems you have gained more importance as a prime opponent of a major new human threat.
I cannot get into more detail at this time, as our next steps depend on your response. But with the situation being what it is, we felt it crucial to contact you about this matter.
