Double-Checking

Professor Rorken,

Let me stress again that I was not involved in the killing of your operative. It was a terrible loss for the cause, and I can fully understand why you are careful working with the Widerstand. As for a disaster, I hardly think that the spire that blew up did you any bad. I seem to recall seeing that one of your "affiliated" companies got the job for rebuilding it, aside from the fact that HarbSec holds the contract for half the city now. If you ask me, that "Jane"-person is certainly not someone you should be holding grudges against.

Asking for a favour is hardly a bad thing for reconciliation, if you ask me. Especially since asking a favour usually entails owing one, and what better base for is there for reconciliation than mutually assertive cooperation?
I am thankful of your assistance in any case. I'd also like to inform you that my recent speech asking for an election of the new Party leader has been approved by the Parteikongress, so there will be a vote held very soon. I can offer you a shuttling to Bruchsal, if you intend on being around for it.

I hope that your closing remark is meant as a means of veiled politeness and will take it as such. We're both on the same side here, Professor. I am not my predecessor, neither am I Eistochter.

With respect,
Dr. Annika J. Haupt, Oberst and commanding officer of the Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee
