[12.05.2016 16:14:09] Wilde.Unschuld: "Guten Tag."
[12.05.2016 16:14:33] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: ?: Unknown contact, this is the Division V gunboat "Nebelbank".
[12.05.2016 16:15:22] Wilde.Unschuld: "Then we'd ask if this Division V gunboat is lost."
[12.05.2016 16:15:44] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: ?: Absolutely not. We're on a scouting mission.
[12.05.2016 16:15:50] Wilde.Unschuld: "I mean, you do realize where you are, isn't that right? You could get hurt."
[12.05.2016 16:16:08] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: ?: I would say that the radiation here is far kinder to the Nebelbank than it is to your fighter.
[12.05.2016 16:16:33] Wilde.Unschuld: "I would agree to that. Say, who am I talking to here?"
[12.05.2016 16:17:12] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: ?: My name is "Melanie", current captain of the Nebelbank and a top level operative of Division V.
[12.05.2016 16:17:39] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: And who might I be talking to?
[12.05.2016 16:18:08] Wilde.Unschuld: "A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Fraulein. I am Agent Unschuld. If you want a name, though, call me Taraneh."
[12.05.2016 16:18:37] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Unusual names, both of them. What are you an agent of?
[12.05.2016 16:19:27] Wilde.Unschuld: "I work for the MND. Counter intelligence and sabotage, in a way."
[12.05.2016 16:19:52] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Ah, so we are right along the same path of employment! How nice!
[12.05.2016 16:20:49] Wilde.Unschuld: She titters. "In a way. You mentioned you were on a scouting mission? Division V is loyal to Rheinland, I hope."
[12.05.2016 16:21:18] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: As is all of ALG. But Division V is loyal primarily to the company.
[12.05.2016 16:21:53] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Our objectives are to conduct intelligence and counterintelligence operations, sensitive diplomacy...
[12.05.2016 16:22:08] Wilde.Unschuld: "Hmm, ALG." She scratches her nose. "Is it true that there have been altercations with the Core in the relief effort?"
[12.05.2016 16:22:11] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: And to destroy without hesitations any enemies of ALG!
[12.05.2016 16:22:41] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Minor ones. A convoy was attacked, then the ALG gunboat "Orkan" went to-
[12.05.2016 16:22:52] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Well, it looks like we have a little blue guest!
[12.05.2016 16:23:14] Wilde.Unschuld: She checks her console. "It's a youngling. Ignore it. It's just nosey."
[12.05.2016 16:23:25] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: That's our standard policy.
[12.05.2016 16:23:51] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Anyway, there were some confrontations. We're increasing presence in the region.
[12.05.2016 16:23:53] Wilde.Unschuld: "See? There it goes." She smiles. "They're so whimsical, aren't they?"
[12.05.2016 16:24:16] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Oh yes, that has been my experience with the young ones in the Omicrons as well.
[12.05.2016 16:24:26] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: They're cute, really! Until an older one shows up.
[12.05.2016 16:25:03] Wilde.Unschuld: "Children are always fun and games until their parents decide you're a bad influence."
[12.05.2016 16:25:42] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Which is a shame. All serious business and no fun, that's not right!
[12.05.2016 16:25:48] Wilde.Unschuld: "Anyways." She pours herself some water and drinks. "Since you're increasing your presence, I take it the Core's fallen-
[12.05.2016 16:25:58] Wilde.Unschuld: from your good graces?"
[12.05.2016 16:26:12] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Well, you've seen our public statement, I'm sure?
[12.05.2016 16:26:29] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: We could have perhaps tried to work something out, but if they attack our convoys....
[12.05.2016 16:26:37] Wilde.Unschuld: She tilts her head. "I'm afraid I haven't. I've been quite preoccupied."
[12.05.2016 16:26:38] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: There's no coming back from that!
[12.05.2016 16:27:00] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: We've declared hostilities. We never really had dealings to begin with, so nothing much to lose for us!
[12.05.2016 16:27:37] Wilde.Unschuld: "Fraulein," she begins, drawing out the word. "What about Rheinland's ties to the Core, though?"
[12.05.2016 16:28:08] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Oh, the government doesn't want to touch it. It's too hot. Can't support either side without causing drama.
[12.05.2016 16:28:32] Wilde.Unschuld: "Understandable that they'd react this way, really."
[12.05.2016 16:28:55] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Bretonia was far more direct. You see their statement? Pretty much openly called the Core terrorists!
[12.05.2016 16:29:02] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Hah! That was fun to read.
[12.05.2016 16:29:17] Wilde.Unschuld: "Though, do the words really fit reality? Have you seen some of the Core's ships?"
[12.05.2016 16:30:18] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Of course. The Orkan has shot them when she was stationed in the Omicrons as well.
[12.05.2016 16:30:33] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Oh how I envy her captain! That must have been fun.
[12.05.2016 16:30:49] Wilde.Unschuld: She laughs demurely. "No. Not their own. They're using Rheinland assets, Fraulein."
[12.05.2016 16:31:24] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Of course, we've heard of some of their ties. And there appear to be rogue Military assets deploying in the region.
[12.05.2016 16:31:34] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: It's all very confusing! But certainly interesting.
[12.05.2016 16:32:15] Wilde.Unschuld: "Ja, it truly is. Though," she stops, raising a finger. "What does it imply if they're using Rheinland tech without remand?"
[12.05.2016 16:32:55] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Mean? It means very little, for Rheinland. It's too far away. Far too easy to say "we can't do anything about what's-
[12.05.2016 16:32:59] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: happening out there"
[12.05.2016 16:33:29] Wilde.Unschuld: "Come on, now. That's unbecoming of someone who claims to work for an intelligence division."
[12.05.2016 16:33:47] Wilde.Unschuld: "The Core receives aid in under the table deals. It's obvious."
[12.05.2016 16:34:02] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Oh, absolutely. That is very likely.
[12.05.2016 16:34:35] Wilde.Unschuld: "We're both working towards preserving lives, in our own ways, aren't we?"
[12.05.2016 16:34:36] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: But I imagine it's from certain elements in the Military and the MND. I doubt it's official policy.
[12.05.2016 16:35:41] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: It's possible that their public statement of noninvolvement was deceitful.
[12.05.2016 16:36:03] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: My guess though is that it wasn't. I don't think the support that does exist is endorsed at the ministerial level.
[12.05.2016 16:36:47] Wilde.Unschuld: "Yet, wouldn't you agree that any aid that reaches these terrorists is unacceptable?"
[12.05.2016 16:37:58] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Oh, I'm not the political type. I mainly care about destroying the enemies of ALG! *she laughs brightly*
[12.05.2016 16:38:21] Wilde.Unschuld: "To which the Core seemingly belongs, it seems."
[12.05.2016 16:38:53] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Of course! I cannot wait to bring the Nebelbank's guns to bear on their ship when the time comes!
[12.05.2016 16:39:28] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: When they have been driven into a corner, they cannot expect support, and we might strike! So beautiful...
[12.05.2016 16:40:24] Wilde.Unschuld: "The beauty lies in your dream's simplicity, truly. Be wary, though. The Core has many silent backers."
[12.05.2016 16:40:48] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: And we will find ways to drive them apart, or destroy them as well!
[12.05.2016 16:41:06] Wilde.Unschuld: "You should bring up the issue of Rheinland assets in Core possession to the CoF or the Bundestag."
[12.05.2016 16:41:07] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: There is so much room for creativity! It's really a wonderful thing!
[12.05.2016 16:41:36] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Oh the CoF is more than aware. It's from them we heard about the involvement of Rheinland assets in the first place.
[12.05.2016 16:41:55] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: The Bundestag will likely deny everything. Probably honestly, as well.
[12.05.2016 16:42:28] Wilde.Unschuld: "Oh, they CoF is aware? It's... worrisome that they haven't made a big deal out of the issue."
[12.05.2016 16:43:08] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: They've made at least one public statement linking Rheinland assets to the situation.
[12.05.2016 16:43:22] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Ah well. They're not naive, I doubt they expect the government to do much either.
[12.05.2016 16:43:44] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Out of sight, out of mind! But nothing is out of sight for Division V.
[12.05.2016 16:43:51] Wilde.Unschuld: "This entire situation doesn't add up." She massages her temples.
[12.05.2016 16:44:16] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Everything adds up! Just sometimes in confusing ways. That is why I like to keep a simple state of mind.
[12.05.2016 16:44:38] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Scout, discover, search, destroy.
[12.05.2016 16:44:56] Wilde.Unschuld: "I guess we should simply leave this cloud before it mills through our marrow."
[12.05.2016 16:45:20] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: We're pretty comfortable in here, but it certainly doesn't look like you are.
[12.05.2016 16:45:37] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Better head back towards forty-seven!
[12.05.2016 16:46:20] Wilde.Unschuld: "I'll be fine."
[12.05.2016 16:46:47] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: So what's your take on all this? Do you think the MND is involving themselves against government directives?
[12.05.2016 16:47:03] Wilde.Unschuld: "I know for a fact they do."
[12.05.2016 16:48:00] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: That's no surprise! We'll need to think of a way to deal with that.
[12.05.2016 16:48:38] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: You know why we're so invested in this, right? It's the iridium. The flow must not stop!
[12.05.2016 16:49:14] Wilde.Unschuld: "Hmm, I can understand why."
[12.05.2016 16:49:37] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: That sweet, sweet iridium, so valuable, so important to our business. Now this crazy crisis comes between us.
[12.05.2016 16:49:40] Wilde.Unschuld: "I shall leave you here."
[12.05.2016 16:49:50] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Unacceptable! Anyone that messes with our supply will be annihilated.
[12.05.2016 16:50:02] [ALG]-V-Nebelbank: Melanie: Oh yes. Well, have some good intelligence gathering then!
[12.05.2016 16:50:18] Wilde.Unschuld: "I'm sure I will."
