To: The Apostatas. From: Armin Jansen, der Alster Union. Subject: Opening talks.
We're listening into this transmission. We have prioritised you to Dross as she is responsible for the majority of Unioner artefact export. She is as tough as nails and naturally distrustful. If you can win her faith, then you will win the faith of every Unioner. It's part a trial of good faith, part functional - she will be your point of contact if you wish to earn artefact revenue through our movement.
You have the trust of the high command (represented by me), if you can get the trust of the people on the ground (Represented by Dross), then we will stick with you for years. I apologise that this is hard-won, but we do not have the munitions to take another knife to the spine.
Make her rendezvous and I will will grant the Apostatas unlimited access to station your vessels within Frankfurt and Munich. Not just refuel - re-arm, and make use of our munitions stockpiles, even though they're running light.
This is just the start, Walker. You do have my faith.
Regards,
Armin Jansen.
First contact representative and Diplomat-in-Chief of der Alster Union, Pacifica Base, Bering.
