Meeting the Rheinlander contacts

I was notified by command of a meeting with Rheinlanders concerning talk about changing relations with the House. Given the nature of the meeting I had my fighter transferred to Freeport 8 where I took control of the ship from my cruiser that was nearby in system. After launching from the freeport we met with 3 Rheinland snub craft (Bmn-Holger,Lahm, Fr-Werner.Bauman,Lt-Karl.Holzner) we were soon joined by the Admiral who began speaking on behalf of the Overwatch. We would transit to Sigma-13 where we began more important talks away from trade lanes. Soon a higher ranking Rheinland officer joined us where the Admiral made our intentions clear to stop hostilities with Rheinland. Some MD ships appeared but soon left once the Rheinlander officer compered the nature of the meeting.

The Rheinlander officer requested a tour of our base system, Omicron Mu, Admiral Solmicron agree to see if such a thing was possible. We departed soon after and I rejoined my ship soon after.

On a more personal note, one of the Rheinland pilots Holger Lahm identified me from my interactions with another Rheinalnd Admiral (see earlier reports). I only reported to him on the status of my grandfather and nothing else.

[18.04.2024 14:06:01] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Guten Tag...
[18.04.2024 14:06:13] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: another order vessel just undocked
[18.04.2024 14:06:51] Order|Solandros: Hail, nice to see you all made it
[18.04.2024 14:07:01] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: What is this all about?!
[18.04.2024 14:07:11] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: What do you mean "we all made it?"
[18.04.2024 14:07:48] Order|Solandros: Seems like a fairly standard thing to say when meeting up with someone, something got you on edge?
[18.04.2024 14:08:09] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: Our orders are to form up on a patrol. Unusually from this Freeport.
[18.04.2024 14:08:22] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: We were here on patrol, yet you guys seem to know of our coming
[18.04.2024 14:08:42] Order|Solandros: Ah, the stooge approach
[18.04.2024 14:08:46] Order|Solandros: Fair enough
[18.04.2024 14:09:16] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: it is most unusual to see multiple order ships here also. What's your business here?
[18.04.2024 14:09:34] Order|Solandros: We're here to pass a message along, though perhaps further away from the trade lanes would be best
[18.04.2024 14:10:01] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Lieutenant, what should we do here?
[18.04.2024 14:10:11] Order|Solandros: I suggest you tail us, no telling what the nefarious Order is going to do
[18.04.2024 14:10:22] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: I sincerely doubt this is coincidental. We will follow.
[18.04.2024 14:10:31] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: order received
[18.04.2024 14:10:41] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Jawuhl Herr.
[18.04.2024 14:10:56] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Assuming formation
*Ender Sigma-13*
[18.04.2024 14:11:43] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: This is not exactly a wise destination.
[18.04.2024 14:12:17] Order|Solandros: Dangerous people go to dangerous places
[18.04.2024 14:12:45] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: I'm not sure what's your status with the gas miners, but they sure don't like us in their territory
[18.04.2024 14:13:15] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Leutnant... how will we explain this to oberkommando?
[18.04.2024 14:13:33] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: In person with a direct report.
[18.04.2024 14:13:33] Order|Solandros: Stealth is your friend Leutnant
[18.04.2024 14:13:49] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Jawuhl...
[18.04.2024 14:13:55] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: this will be quite usual to explain in our reports
[18.04.2024 14:14:02] Order|Solandros: This will do, far enough from most prying eyes
[18.04.2024 14:14:06] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: I mean...unusual
[18.04.2024 14:14:20] Order|Solandros: No offense, sitting at a trade lanes isn't exactly our 'style'
[18.04.2024 14:14:45] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: I get that.
[18.04.2024 14:15:08] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: I am assuming this was pre-arranged. What for?
[18.04.2024 14:15:21] Order|Solandros: Tell me, what do you know of the Order?
[18.04.2024 14:15:27] Death: Arvid_Grimmson suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[18.04.2024 14:15:41] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: Official reports dating back to the Colony War list you as terrorists.
[18.04.2024 14:16:05] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: The murmurs we hear on my now MND controlled headquarter station aren't pleasant either.
[18.04.2024 14:16:42] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: We know you operate in the Omicrons.
[18.04.2024 14:16:50] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: And deal with Corsairs.
[18.04.2024 14:17:01] Order|Solandros: *sigh* Where to begin
[18.04.2024 14:17:35] Order|Solandros: The Order is an organization founded for the exclusive purpose of finding and destroying Nomads, aliens, incase you don't know
[18.04.2024 14:17:38] Order|Solandros: about them.
[18.04.2024 14:18:03] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: *private channel* should we even be listening to a group of terrorists Lieutanent?
[18.04.2024 14:18:13] Order|Solandros: We typically don't attack other Humans, unless they're infected or actively attack us, like the Core in the Omicrons
[18.04.2024 14:19:04] Order|Solandros: As for the alleged Corsair dealings, we relatively recently signed a ceasefire with them yes. The Core and Outcast alliance
[18.04.2024 14:19:11] Order|Solandros: left us with very little choice
[18.04.2024 14:19:48] Order|Solandros: A five party free for all in the Omicrons was hard enough to manage, but with two of them siding together we did not have the
[18.04.2024 14:19:59] Order|Solandros: luxury to remain at war with the Corsairs
[18.04.2024 14:20:09] Order|SP>Agent.A: jeez can the npcs keep it quiet
[18.04.2024 14:20:34] Order|Solandros: So we fight our common enemies together, and don't shoot each other in each others space. We still interfere with their artifact
[18.04.2024 14:20:48] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: I hope this is not a request to make us actively fight the Core?
[18.04.2024 14:20:59] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: Enough. Let them finish.
[18.04.2024 14:21:08] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Jawuhl...
[18.04.2024 14:21:11] Order|Solandros: trade as long as we do it outside the Omicrons, and we get to confiscate most active artifacts before they get ever board a transport
[18.04.2024 14:21:44] Order|Solandros: A bit of a shotgun wedding perhaps, but all in all it's proven effective at maintaining the status quo in the Omicrons
[18.04.2024 14:22:07] Order|Solandros: Considering the Nomads are constantly growing in strength, a rather important situation to maintain
[18.04.2024 14:22:16] Order|Solandros: Which brings us to why we're here
[18.04.2024 14:22:44] Order|Solandros: The Nomads are growing in strength, as things are going the Order wont be able to keep them at bay forever
[18.04.2024 14:23:00] Order|Solandros: The Houses need to be ready for threats from outside and within
[18.04.2024 14:23:12] Order|Solandros: It only takes a single infected to cause major damage
[18.04.2024 14:23:17] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: I must admit, we had more trouble recently with Wilde roaming around.
[18.04.2024 14:23:53] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: I presume those purple constructs we've spotted with Wilde incursions are the Nomads you refer to?
[18.04.2024 14:24:23] Order|Solandros: Glowing purple constructs, generally with tentacles, would be the general discription, yes
[18.04.2024 14:24:46] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Heh, good o-.. sorry continue
[18.04.2024 14:24:49] Order|Solandros: Various sizes, from snub sized to grotesquely large
[18.04.2024 14:25:34] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: So what precisely would you have us report back?
[18.04.2024 14:25:57] Order|Solandros: "The Order has no interest in fighting Rheinland"
[18.04.2024 14:26:25] Order|Solandros: As well as the warning, of course
[18.04.2024 14:27:11] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: That may be difficult. How did you arrange this meeting?
[18.04.2024 14:27:59] Order|Solandros: *chuckles* convinced you were set up somehow?
[18.04.2024 14:28:32] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: I receive an order to leave my normal posting for a patrol while my ship is in drydock.
[18.04.2024 14:28:36] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: I meet a group of Order agents.
[18.04.2024 14:28:38] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: You tell me.
[18.04.2024 14:29:07] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Oberkommando never just sends us on a random patrol usually.
[18.04.2024 14:29:14] Order|Solandros: Suffice to say I'm sure your superiors will be interested in your findings
[18.04.2024 14:29:32] [RM]Lt-Karl.Holzner: Ah, Herr Beist. Now I see.
[18.04.2024 14:29:37] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Guten tag all
[18.04.2024 14:29:43] Order|Solandros: Guten tag
[18.04.2024 14:29:47] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: How did you f-... what?
[18.04.2024 14:29:49] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: This operation and your patrols are classified
[18.04.2024 14:29:53] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: guten tag sir
[18.04.2024 14:30:01] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Guten tag herr...
[18.04.2024 14:30:13] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Your guncam footage and transcripts will be forwarded directly to the Oberkommando upon conclusion
[18.04.2024 14:30:25] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: And trust me meine herrren, I know little more than that
[18.04.2024 14:30:32] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: So let's get this going, ja?
[18.04.2024 14:30:48] [RM]Fr-Werner.Baumann: if you say so....I mean, understood sir, loud and clear
[18.04.2024 14:31:06] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Jawuhl herr..
[18.04.2024 14:31:24] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I see a familiar name among the Order vessels. Care to introduce yourself, mein herr?
[18.04.2024 14:31:32] Order|Solandros: We have passed on what we wanted to say, I hope the Oberkommando will have an open mind
[18.04.2024 14:31:43] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I and the rest of this patrol come on behalf of Grossadmiral Henze
[18.04.2024 14:32:23] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: I'm sort of elated the Admiral saw more use for us than a random patrol in Sigma 15.
[18.04.2024 14:32:26] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I was told there'd be a tour involved
[18.04.2024 14:32:34] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Is that still part of the plan?
[18.04.2024 14:33:16] Order|Solandros: A tour? Quite ambitious, perhaps we could some other time.
[18.04.2024 14:33:28] Order|Solandros: Given the space we'd have to travel some precautions would need to be taken
[18.04.2024 14:33:29] Order|Eddy_Narson: You might know me Sir, my grandfather was a Rheinland officer before an event brought us together
[18.04.2024 14:33:55] Eisenfaust: Guten Abend.
[18.04.2024 14:33:59] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Wait... you are... Eddy?
[18.04.2024 14:34:01] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Achtung
[18.04.2024 14:34:06] Eisenfaust: That was not nice Pilot.
[18.04.2024 14:34:09] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Halt there pilot
[18.04.2024 14:34:15] Order|Eddy_Narson: Yes, that is me
[18.04.2024 14:34:22] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: You are now part of a classified meeting
[18.04.2024 14:34:27] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I suggest you follow orders
[18.04.2024 14:34:31] Eisenfaust: Classified meeting?
[18.04.2024 14:34:32] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: And stay on scene
[18.04.2024 14:34:38] Order|Solandros: follow Order's
[18.04.2024 14:34:43] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Fall in, pilot
[18.04.2024 14:35:14] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I suppose there is not chance to convince you to take us further in?
[18.04.2024 14:35:24] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Vizeadmiral Kunrad told me about his and your... exploits
[18.04.2024 14:36:03] Order|Eddy_Narson: yes, I am just glad it ended as it did
[18.04.2024 14:36:09] BDM|Viper: Can't say I've ever flown outside of the Crow Nebula via cruise drive.
[18.04.2024 14:36:17] Eisenfaust: Now you can.
[18.04.2024 14:36:17] BDM|Viper: Until today.
[18.04.2024 14:36:22] Order|Solandros: Hail MND vessel
[18.04.2024 14:36:26] BDM|Viper: Hail.
[18.04.2024 14:36:27] BDM|U-605: RO: Classified?
[18.04.2024 14:36:30] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: More contacts... were they also part of the plan, herr Beist?
[18.04.2024 14:36:32] BDM|U-605: RO: Guten tag.
[18.04.2024 14:36:36] Death: TempestaNera was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[18.04.2024 14:36:38] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: VIPER, this is a classified meeting. I suggest you pretend all you saw here is nebula
[18.04.2024 14:36:38] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Guten tag
[18.04.2024 14:36:46] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Grossadmiral Henze would be most obliged
[18.04.2024 14:36:51] Eisenfaust: *chuckles*
[18.04.2024 14:37:03] BDM|Viper: Elias, just about 90% of the things I do don't "happen".
[18.04.2024 14:37:16] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Good. Make this another. As a personal favor to the man
[18.04.2024 14:37:34] Eisenfaust: Setting the body camera offline.
[18.04.2024 14:37:35] BDM|Viper: But as the first line of defense against external threats, I would appreciate knowing a general "jist" of what is going on.
[18.04.2024 14:37:39] Eisenfaust: Just for the records.
[18.04.2024 14:37:55] BDM|Viper: I've been in touch with the Order, but not the Overwatch.
[18.04.2024 14:37:57] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: The BDM will be briefed upon the conclusion of this operation
[18.04.2024 14:38:06] BDM|Viper: Hmm.
[18.04.2024 14:38:10] Order|Eddy_Narson: damn lets get all of rheinland here! bring out the empirore!
[18.04.2024 14:38:24] BDM|Viper: Alright then, let's let them be.
[18.04.2024 14:38:25] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: That is all I know from Gadm Henze, and all I'm authorized to disclose to friendly assets
[18.04.2024 14:38:33] Order|Solandros: We have no objection either if you desire to share the information with the BDM, we've had cooperative understandings when the situation called for it
[18.04.2024 14:38:52] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I'm glad to hear all of us are getting along already
[18.04.2024 14:39:04] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Like a big happy family gathering, heheh
[18.04.2024 14:39:05] BDM|Viper: Like I said.
[18.04.2024 14:39:10] BDM|Viper: 90% never happens.
[18.04.2024 14:39:13] BDM|Viper: On record.
[18.04.2024 14:39:26] BDM|Viper: Alright this was a false alarm, let's clear out.
[18.04.2024 14:39:35] BDM|U-605: RO: Copy that.
[18.04.2024 14:39:38] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Safe skies, Buro.
[18.04.2024 14:39:39] Eisenfaust: Verstehe..
[18.04.2024 14:39:46] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: so, Herr Solandros. If you do not wish to proceed further, I'll take what I can get
[18.04.2024 14:39:47] Eisenfaust: Heading out, ja.
[18.04.2024 14:40:13] Order|Solandros: Ja, a trip to Order territory for a tour would take significantly more time than we have at such short notice, as I said the
[18.04.2024 14:40:22] Order|Solandros: Nomads are getting significantly more...riley as of late
[18.04.2024 14:40:39] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: All the better reason for us to move quickly, surely?
[18.04.2024 14:41:06] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Not gonna lie, this all peaked my curiosity even further.
[18.04.2024 14:41:10] Order|Solandros: Indeed, but it wont do us any good if precautions aren't taken and we run into a Nomad ambush
[18.04.2024 14:41:28] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Which are?
[18.04.2024 14:41:34] [OOC] Order|Solandros: also this is like, a very inconvenient time for me IRL in the middle of a workweek xD
[18.04.2024 14:41:35] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Then I suggest you make arrangement as soon as possible
[18.04.2024 14:41:47] Order|Solandros: I can agree to this
[18.04.2024 14:42:10] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I do not know Henze's mind, but I can assure you he will not move further on this until we learn more
[18.04.2024 14:42:49] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Well, no sense in hanging around I suppose
[18.04.2024 14:42:52] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Korporal Beist... if i may ask one more thing at one of the Order vessels?
[18.04.2024 14:43:00] Order|Solandros: The fact you are interested in proceeding already tells us you're at least taking the threat of the Nomads seriously, it is
[18.04.2024 14:43:01] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Or we'll get a visit from KOI, heheh
[18.04.2024 14:43:01] Order|Solandros: reassuring.
[18.04.2024 14:43:20] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Fire away Holger
[18.04.2024 14:43:37] Order|Solandros: *cough* phrasing
[18.04.2024 14:43:44] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Then we get moving. The parameters of the op don't leave much leeway
[18.04.2024 14:43:48] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Eddy Narson... my boss Kunrad will want to know how are things with you and your grandfather...
[18.04.2024 14:43:51] Order|Solandros: lmao
[18.04.2024 14:44:21] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: I'm sure he will appreciate hearing about you two.
[18.04.2024 14:44:24] Order|Eddy_Narson: He is well enough, Order Medical has been very good for him. Other then that I am afraid I cannot say
[18.04.2024 14:44:40] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Ok... danke.
[18.04.2024 14:44:53] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Safe skies, Eddy.
[18.04.2024 14:45:04] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: Finished? This sort of thing can always happen over secure channels
[18.04.2024 14:45:15] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: That is all, Herr.
[18.04.2024 14:45:16] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I think it's time we left. Thanks for the meeting
[18.04.2024 14:45:20] Order|Eddy_Narson: and to you, pass on my greetings to Herr Kunrad
[18.04.2024 14:45:26] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: I will.
[18.04.2024 14:45:26] Order|Solandros: Agreed, safe skies Rheinlanders
[18.04.2024 14:45:33] [RM]Bmn-Holger,Lahm: Auf wiedersehn, Order agents.
[18.04.2024 14:45:41] [RM]Kpl-Elias.Beist: I hope that we get to meet again. I am interested to visit the Omicrons...
