Guten Abend Offiziere.
I believe we have the potential of securing a valuable source of information in the form of Herr Jukins.
After reading through yet another transgression of this individual on the internal channels, I decided to attempt to track him down if he was still in orbit of Neu Berlin. Fortunately, Herr Jukins seemed to be waiting for someone or something near Bonn station.
I proceeded to tell Herr Jukins, in no uncertain terms, that his freedom in lawful Rheinland is coming to an end. Instead of his regular denials, it seemed to me that Herr Jukins began to seriously consider my interrogation offer. Indeed, in an uncharacteristic manner, he indirectly admitted to having information about the location and interior of multiple Bundschuh bases in the asteroid fields.
After noting this, I decided to make herr Jukins a simple offer of having 72 hours to consider his situation. Herr Jukins may choose to open a private communication to us to facilitate pickup. I propose that a retrieval team is formed during this time - and I volunteer to be part of that team, or to fly as escort.
I should also note that towards the end of my conversation, a small-time trader contacted me with a sighting of a Corsair capital ship en route to Frankfurt. Immediately after I was finished with Herr Jukins, I proceeded to investigate, but found no sign of such vessel. However, I encouraged the freelancer to continue reporting any potentially useful sightings in the future.
Finally, the conversation with Herr Jukins took place over short-range comms instead of a private channel to avoid potential denial of this information by this individual. Proprietary comm logs of Bonn, Neu Berlin, Oder, and The Ring should all confirm this conversation in the case of any legal proceedings launched against the Rheinwehr.

[13.01.2023 01:10:37] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: And the Oberkomanndo is considering a full blacklist
[13.01.2023 01:10:49] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: You still want to use our bases, Ja?

[13.01.2023 01:11:47] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Or you can take it easy on those rocks the Bundschuh call "bases"
[13.01.2023 01:12:10] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: So Jukins, I have an offer for you. I've made it before
[13.01.2023 01:12:18] Charlie,Jukins: Lets hear it!
[13.01.2023 01:12:28] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Let's go to a nice apartment, and you take a week off of your troubles

[13.01.2023 01:12:56] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: About your associates, where you got those nomad weapons, the lot
[13.01.2023 01:13:11] Charlie,Jukins: I feel like I've heard this before. But, go on.

[13.01.2023 01:13:22] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: All your black marks - vanished [13.01.2023 01:13:40] Chengue: eeeeh...Mr. Beist...here a Unioner pod...
[13.01.2023 01:13:45] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Of course I cannot guarantee this fully, but my Obr is a very law abiding offizier [13.01.2023 01:13:54] Chengue: the pilot claim help from the autoridades
[13.01.2023 01:14:04] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: She will look after you, make sure you don't come to any harm
[13.01.2023 01:14:18] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Like if the MND get their hands on you for violating a restricteds area [13.01.2023 01:14:25] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: We'll send a pickup, danke Chengue
[13.01.2023 01:14:43] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: They will put you in a nice little cell, 2 by 2
[13.01.2023 01:15:07] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: I've seen inside them, and I still have nightmares sometimes
[13.01.2023 01:15:18] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Do you understand me, mein herr?
[13.01.2023 01:15:32] Charlie,Jukins: Hm, I hear you. It is quite the enticing deal.
[13.01.2023 01:15:48] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: It's the only one you're going to get at this point
[13.01.2023 01:16:00] Charlie,Jukins: But, you know what they say, "too good to be true"
[13.01.2023 01:16:06] Spediteur: guten tag
[13.01.2023 01:16:07] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: That, or take your chances with MND, or enjoy the hospitality of the asteroid bases
[13.01.2023 01:16:11] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Ja, guten tag
[13.01.2023 01:16:13] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Safe flying
[13.01.2023 01:16:18] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: The thing is, Herr Jukins
[13.01.2023 01:16:22] Charlie,Jukins: Hey, some of those bases are quite nice on the inside.
[13.01.2023 01:16:25] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Not everyone is as shifty as yourself
[13.01.2023 01:16:31] Charlie,Jukins: I'm sure.
[13.01.2023 01:16:41] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: You can't judge everyone else by your own mind, as sharp as it may be
[13.01.2023 01:17:01] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: I'm a simple soldier, ja? Am I really capable of coming up with a likely story?
[13.01.2023 01:17:15] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: I just repeat what was told to me, and tell you what I've seen and heard
[13.01.2023 01:17:18] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Just as it is
[13.01.2023 01:17:21] Charlie,Jukins: That I can agree on. And just out of curiosity, how many people have taken a liking to your offer?
[13.01.2023 01:17:37] Charlie,Jukins: Or well, your command's offer.
[13.01.2023 01:17:52] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Oh, plenty of small time criminals. People trying their hand at smuggling. They're released after a day or two because they
[13.01.2023 01:17:55] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: have nothing
[13.01.2023 01:18:03] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: A small fine, and they're on their way
[13.01.2023 01:18:07] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: A sad fact of life...
[13.01.2023 01:18:31] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Now, for people like Herr Botzler, well
[13.01.2023 01:18:50] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: He's an icon, and I really don't know what would happen once it was known he was in custody
[13.01.2023 01:18:57] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: You're still a nobody however
[13.01.2023 01:19:03] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: But a nobody with some useful information
[13.01.2023 01:19:24] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Ja, you can spin your tales and fly well, but that doesn't make you a political symbol
[13.01.2023 01:19:38] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: So you will be safe enough from *lowers voice* the nobility [REDACTION UNSUCCESSFUL, CODEWORD DETECTED]
[13.01.2023 01:19:47] Charlie,Jukins: That maybe so. But, information is important. If I was to simply give up that leverage I would make enemies. Not only...here
[13.01.2023 01:19:48] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: It's be purely a Rheinwehr matter
[13.01.2023 01:19:56] Charlie,Jukins: In Rheinland, but practically everywhere in Sirus.
[13.01.2023 01:20:15] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Not at all. Give us some credit, mein Herr
[13.01.2023 01:20:30] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: The MND aren't the only ones with the knowledge about how to make people disappear
[13.01.2023 01:20:36] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: And make it seem like they were never there
[13.01.2023 01:20:49] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Your previous comrades will know nothing
[13.01.2023 01:21:01] Charlie,Jukins: Maybe, but, the quiet life doesn't really suit me you know?
[13.01.2023 01:21:11] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: And if they suspect, you will deny it, Ja?
[13.01.2023 01:21:22] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Just like you've denied all allegations against you thus far
[13.01.2023 01:21:29] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Quite successfully too [13.01.2023 01:21:33] Chengue: **Static**
[13.01.2023 01:21:34] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: But that has come to an end
[13.01.2023 01:21:39] Charlie,Jukins: Sure, but even the best kept secrets come out eventually. [13.01.2023 01:21:44] Chengue: Senior....here a Capital big shio
[13.01.2023 01:21:46] Charlie,Jukins: Just ask the Lane Hackers.
[13.01.2023 01:21:56] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Nobody said anyting about a quiet life
[13.01.2023 01:22:03] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: That is for you to decide, once you're let go
[13.01.2023 01:22:08] Charlie,Jukins: I've heard the things they've found, its quite suprising really. [13.01.2023 01:22:18] Chengue: on route to Frankfujrt..
[13.01.2023 01:22:24] Chengue: Capital Ship Corsaria
[13.01.2023 01:22:41] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Understood Freelancer, we will intercept as we are able
[13.01.2023 01:22:57] Charlie,Jukins: Either way, your offer is quite an interesting one.
[13.01.2023 01:23:10] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Tell you what [13.01.2023 01:23:12] Chengue: any reward for the...."advertesing"...
[13.01.2023 01:23:14] Chengue: ?
[13.01.2023 01:23:18] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: You have three days to think about it
[13.01.2023 01:23:32] Charlie,Jukins: Alright, I will think it over. [13.01.2023 01:23:34] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Ja, I will investigate, and you will be compensated accordingly
[13.01.2023 01:23:44] Charlie,Jukins: I'm sure you will find me in three days time.
[13.01.2023 01:24:05] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: After that, you will either submit yourself to your questioning, or you will be blacklisted in lawful Rheinland
[13.01.2023 01:24:14] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: All it will take is a small encrypted comm
[13.01.2023 01:24:20] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: From anywhere you like [13.01.2023 01:24:24] Chengue: thanks my lord...i am a simple worker, and need a new ship to transport...some..cargos
[13.01.2023 01:24:30] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Someone will be sent to pick you up, discreetly
[13.01.2023 01:24:43] Chengue: Capital Ship name: Assault_Plastique
[13.01.2023 01:24:48] [RM]Bmn-Elias.Beist: Take care Herr Jukins. I know you'll make the smart choice
[13.01.2023 01:24:58] Charlie,Jukins: Of course.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!
