Direktor Steiner,

a keen grasp of reality. The damage has indeed been done at this point, ja.

You may begin clearing up your own questions by inquiring about both involved Merchant Navy vessels. As they clearly acknowledged this bomber as a fellow Bretonian and found it questionable he was fired upon, one of them ready to render assistance in our space. Maybe they were fooled by this pilots charade, maybe they were not. Little doubt that you have your ways of finding out. I would have been more lenient if it was a single delusional operative gone rogue. Easy to rectify after all, as you correctly said so yourself already. Nothing more than a mere footnote. Yet the Merchant Navy's impeccable timing remains a topic of curiosity.
Callsigns of the vessels in question are BAF|MN-Liverpool and BAF|MN-AMC-Anguilla. Liverpool being the more eager one.
Chelmsford's targets were a Freelancer, a Technocrat and a Corsair. The latter already locked in combat by our forces. Your government should have received a report about this by now.

As i stated, you have been granted the benefit of the doubt by Großadmiral von Thielau's goodwill. My imagination therefore remains slumbering for the time being. This isolated incident will be treated as exactly that. An isolated incident, not to be repeated. Make no mistake, that alleged 'Lord' will reap what he sows. So will anyone who follows his insolent example. Refreshing to hear that the Crown will not miss this agitor in the slightest.

Do me the favor of sharing what you may find out, should that self-proclaimed 'Lord' entertain you with an answer Herr Direktor.

Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Hochachtungsvoll,
Mechthild von Herzsprung, Erzherzogin zu Thüringen
Admiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
Governor of Thuringia
