Mission 70: Capture Die Weiße Rose leader
Phase 2

I am reporting of a successful mania-interrogation performed on Albert Weis; Generaloberst of Die Weise Rose. While I have expected far more from a reputable man holding a position of such importance, it is evident that his true face is much different. Professor Provocateur Yoshida on board of Keiretsu|-Noburu has successfully performed a Honeytrap technique on him and with a delusion of pursuing repentance for his sins by assisting a damsel in distress, he followed Professor's instructions - Which led him into a trap.

Under the pressure of a gunpoint, he admitted atrocities criminal organisation Die Weise Rose has committed, their involvement in human organ harvesting and trafficking, a trade deal with the Liberty government and being funded by the vile organisations of Universal Shipping and Interspace Commerce. After I broke him, he accepted and admitted who he really is. A clown, an incompetent leader blinded by wrong goals, a fool not worthy of the position.

The most pathetic moment of our encounter without any doubt was his system-wide cries for help directed towards the Keiretsu|-Noburu, as after the immense torture and harassment he was not able to realize he was nothing but a fish following a bait. His last wish was for his cargo to arrive in hands of Frau Noboru which I completed - Professor Provocateur Yoshida has seized the cargo and returned it safely to Alcatraz Depot in California.

Generaloberst Albert Weis communication logs

Mr.Blackfriar': Die Weise Rose vessel. Cut your engines immediately.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Odd. I didn't know the Hackers had a vested interest in Bremen.
Mr.Blackfriar': That's none of your business. Set a waypoint - B6. Move it, now.
Mr.Blackfriar': B6.
Mr.Blackfriar': Good.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Isn't B6 this way?
Mr.Blackfriar': It is. Now move it.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I can only assume that you somehow followed me. I've never heard of a Lane Hacker in Bremen before.
Mr.Blackfriar': Now let's make this simple. Answer all of my questions and you'l survive. Each wrong answer will cost you dearly.
Mr.Blackfriar': What is your name?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Alright then, let's play your game. My name is Herr Albert Weis
Mr.Blackfriar': What is your rank within the White Rose?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Generaloberst.
Mr.Blackfriar': A leader, I assume?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Very much so. That's why you followed me, I presume.
Mr.Blackfriar': I had an impression this will be a simple extortion. But here I am with the leader of the disease-ridden dogs himself!
Mr.Blackfriar': I will quite enjoy this.
Mr.Blackfriar': Now, let's continue. What are the current goals of the White Rose?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Liberation of Rheinland, installing a true democracy, reducing corporate power in Rheinland.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We also intend to help any civilians we can along the way.
Mr.Blackfriar': Your partners, who are they?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Main, or trade partners as well?
Mr.Blackfriar': Both. Spit it now.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Our main allies are the Red Hessians, ALG, and the Blood Dragons.
Mr.Blackfriar': And your trade partners?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: They provide the most direct support, while groups such as the GMG and The Order provide financial support.
Mr.Blackfriar': Do you cooperate with any group from Liberty? Do you have any interest in Liberty whatsoever?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We've cooperated with groups in Liberty in the past, but all ties there have waned as of late.
Mr.Blackfriar': Name them.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: During the war here, we cooperated with the Liberty Navy, for a short time.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We've also derived support from several corporations on both Planets Los Angeles and Denver.
Mr.Blackfriar': Which corporations?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Universal Shipping and Interspace Commerce.
Mr.Blackfriar': Of course... Now tell me. You said that you haven't cooperated with any Liberty organisation recently.
Mr.Blackfriar': Yet - our scout have reported several White Rose transports in Liberty quite recently. A week ago, or two, perhaps.
Mr.Blackfriar': What was the reason behind your visit?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: That was not sanctioned by me, and the reason, as I later found out, was rather stupid.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Apparently the captains wanted to take a "safer" route back to Rheinland from Omega-49.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I of all people know Liberty is not the safest place for our convoys right now.
Mr.Blackfriar': Let that be your first and only lie you've said to me, you trecharous hound. I repeat. What was the reason behind your...
Mr.Blackfriar': Presence in Liberty?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: You think I would dare lie while having torpedoes aimed at my ship?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: If it's any consolation, they probably went thanks to those Zoners at Erie.
Mr.Blackfriar': Yes. You Rheinland dogs cower with your lies, as you're afraid that the truth will hurt.
Mr.Blackfriar': Well I can assure you. This will hurt one way or another.
Mr.Blackfriar': Now spit it. What are your current goals in Liberty?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We do have one goal, but I haven't yet scratched the surface of it yet.
Mr.Blackfriar': Several transports were spotted travelling from Hamburg towards Texas and deeper into Liberty. We see all. We know.
Mr.Blackfriar': Which one? Tell me.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We plan on evacuating most of Nuremberg's population out of Munich.
Mr.Blackfriar': To where?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Planet Erie, a safe haven.
Mr.Blackfriar': I ask you again. What were you transports doing in Texas and New York?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I am telling the truth. Apart from our diamond trade route, there is no other reason we would enter Liberty.
Mr.Blackfriar': Where do you deliver those Diamonds?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Planet Denver, in the Colorado system. I haven't logged a shipment there for months, so it must be the Quartiermeister.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: She is in charge of this transport fleet in my absence.
Mr.Blackfriar': Planet Denver is under control of Liberty Police Inc. How do they let you dock? Do you cooperate with them at this moment?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We are a neutral entity in Liberty, so they allow us to dock with their worlds.
Mr.Blackfriar': Of course you are. Quite interesting.
Mr.Blackfriar': Tell me about your standing with the Unioners?
Mr.Blackfriar': Do you have any interest in the Bering?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We are at war with the Unioners, and that has been public information for quite some time.
Mr.Blackfriar': And the Battlegroup?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: You mean Harmony? We are neutral with them as of recently.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Our former leader tried instigating a war with them, which was ill-advised to start with.
Mr.Blackfriar': Neutral, hm? Tell me. Do you pursue their friendship?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Not exactly. We don't see much from an alliance with them. They are entirely focused on their goals,
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: which makes getting anything beneficial from them hard.
Mr.Blackfriar': Now, tell me. And this has bothered from the first time I've met you.
Mr.Blackfriar': What are you doing here?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I'm here to make a deal with a citizen of Kusari. She requested these materials, and has agreed to pay well for them.
Mr.Blackfriar': That's good to hear. You are a true businessman, mister Weis.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We are some people's only contacts in the Rheinland Black Market, and have to deliver on many occassions.
Mr.Blackfriar': Do you often deliver similar cargo?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: This cargo is abnormal, but we can deliver cargo of all types.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Normally, we transport building and repair materials.
Mr.Blackfriar': Abnormal, is it? I think you're lying. Do you have no morality, Weis? You were supposed to be a figure, a leader...
Mr.Blackfriar': And what do you do? Harvest organs. Murder slaves. Traffic human organs.
Mr.Blackfriar': Disgusting.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Not exactly. You see, these were artificially made at Heisenberg Research Station.
Mr.Blackfriar': I did not expect much more from an White Rose member, but this is just... Pathetic.
Mr.Blackfriar': Is it? Or was it from the Slaves that arrive from Pittsburgh?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: The Pit?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We kill anyone bringing slaves from there.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: The slaves are then freed and sent with the refugees to a safe haven.
Mr.Blackfriar': Yes, slaves are forbidden. But if they're chopped in pieces, it's perfectly fine.
Mr.Blackfriar': Tell me, what kind of cargo do you dispatch? Nox? Cardamine? Artifacts?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Still not fine. Like I said, these organs were made artificially.
Mr.Blackfriar': Say it few more time. Maybe you'l convince yourself you're doing a good thing.
Mr.Blackfriar': Maybe you'l sleep easier tonight.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We ARE doing the right thing here. What exactly are you doing to help people out?
Mr.Blackfriar': And what are you doing to help people? Traffic human organs? Deal with corrupted Liberty hoodlums? What are you doing good?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I am being truthful when I say that DWR is aiming for the morally correct path, not the financially correct one.
Mr.Blackfriar': You're nothing but a misarable sack of pathetic worms.
Mr.Blackfriar': The White Rose will never succeed with a human trafficker on a leading position. A man with no morals.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Are you so sure in your predispositions? There are genuinely good people out in the galaxy, like us.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: We may be a rarity, but do not let yourself think that everyone you meet is a crook.
Mr.Blackfriar': Do you ever hear what you're saying? Not even a Rogue would believe you...
Mr.Blackfriar': Yet - that is exactly what you are.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I know you won't believe me. You joined the Lane Hackers for a reason, after all. The very same reason you think I am
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: lying.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: You don't see good as a viable option, and think that violence will end violence. I'll let you take that path, but I don't
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: think you'll like its destination.
Mr.Blackfriar': Of course I do. How retaded do you think I am? You're a traitor to your people. You've cooperated with the enemies of state.
Mr.Blackfriar': Your organisation has grown only because you took dirty money from Liberty hoodlums.
Mr.Blackfriar': And now, you have fallen so low that you involve yourself in obscene acts.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: The state here is not your friend, and it is not the friend of the average person here in Rheinland.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Do not compare us with the oppressive Bundestag regime.
Mr.Blackfriar': I do not compare you with them. I think you're worse than them.
Mr.Blackfriar': Now tell me, and I ask you one last time.
Mr.Blackfriar': White Rose transports in Texas. What were they doing there?
Mr.Blackfriar': Liberty is not on a path from Omega to Rheinland.
Mr.Blackfriar': And you do not send several transports to express your gratitude to Zoners.
Mr.Blackfriar': And you most certainly did not deal with Liberty officials, since you were trying to convince me that...
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: They were most likely bringing diamonds to Planet Denver. We do not stoop to piracy, so that is one of our sources
Mr.Blackfriar': You haven't seen Planet Denver for three months.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: of income.
Mr.Blackfriar': No. Wrong answer.
Mr.Blackfriar': Do not contradict yourself. Do you think I'm an idiot? That I forgot what you told me several minutes ago?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I'll need to contact my Quartiermeister about letting me know about re-opening old trade routes.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: In any case, I'm telling the truth. I've considered every possibility, and this is the only one where I leave alive.
Mr.Blackfriar': Either I'm retarded or you are, really. A famous 'Generaloberst' does not know what his men are doing?
Mr.Blackfriar': There's only one way out of this alive. It's by telling the truth.
Mr.Blackfriar': Only the truth can save you, 'herr'.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I cannot monitor my people 24/7. I require them to report to me on important matters, but they did not this time.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Now look where it has landed me.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: You want the truth. I'm telling you that I overlooked something very important. Something that has upset the Hackers
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: enough to track me down.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: That makes me incompetent, eh? Imcompetence kills, as you very well know.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: How many imcompetent corporates have died by your hand?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: How many foolish military pilots did you end?
Mr.Blackfriar': You're incompetent enough, indeed. How did you get to this position, even? You've fallen to my hands too easy. Way too easy.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Now I am under your line of fire, because I was incompetent enough to end up here.
Mr.Blackfriar': This is not about me. This is all for you, 'herr'.
Mr.Blackfriar': Then admit it. You are incompetent leader.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I just did. I was incompetent enough to not see what could end up being a diplomatic disaster.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: My failure to consider the possibilities and stay alert has rendered me foolish in my otherwise noble crusade.
Mr.Blackfriar': Good. Doesn't it feel nice to say it?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Not particularly, but I suppose it was neccessary. Failure is the greatest teacher, after all.
Mr.Blackfriar': Now, there's one last thing.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: What would that be?
Mr.Blackfriar': You will drop the cargo and leave. Repent, herr Weis.
Mr.Blackfriar': I will put a stop to this scharade.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I have the civilian on the line.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Broadcast your plea, Frau Noboru.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Let him hear that I am not mistaken in helping you out.
Mr.Blackfriar': You care more for profit than morale?
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: No. I want to save lives.
Mr.Blackfriar': Just when I think there's something proper in you.
Mr.Blackfriar': You will. You will save lives of your crew if you drop the cargo and leave back to Hamburg.
Mr.Blackfriar': I assume it's time for another test of my weaponary?
Mr.Blackfriar': Drop them, now!
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Then you get nothing, Frau.
Mr.Blackfriar': Now leave. And pray to God we never meet again.
Mr.Blackfriar': The next time I see you, it'l be the end of you.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: Your cargo is destroyed, because you would have me die before you could explain your situation to another.
Mr.Blackfriar': Run, run you dog!
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: I cannot afford to die. Not when there is much good to be done in Rheinland.
DWR|WTS-Hammersee: A: And, Mr. Blackfriar? Watch your back.
Mr.Blackfriar': Likewise, mister Weis. Likewise...
