first off, I want to welcome you to our movement and thank you for proving to be a valuable addition to our cause.
I have already spoken to Grand Admiral Golanski about the event in Sigma-15. In my judgment, the Order has not gone to nearly enough lengths to resolve the situation diplomatically with the Platform representatives. The Platform, in turn, seems to be using this event as an opportunity to distance themselves from the Order.
This development is not in our favour, which is why it is important to us that relations between the Order and the Bundschuh as a whole remain stable.
However, we should not deceive ourselves. Admittedly, the Bundschuh is the Order's most valuable ally, not least because Rheinland in particular is influenced by the infiltrators and thralls of the Nomads. Nevertheless, the Order's interests are not necessarily aligned with ours. It is to the Order's advantage if the Corsairs help them fight their enemies, even if the Corsairs fall upon Rheinland like wild animals. The Order views the events in Sirius with a different lens than we do, detached from the need to restore justice and democracy to the people. Their only concern is the destruction of the nomads.
With this knowledge, which the Platform is certainly familiar with, it might have been wiser not to attack the Corsairs in this particular case, but to withdraw and ensure that the Corsairs at least do no further damage.
I do not see this as a betrayal of our own values or of the people of Rheinland, whom we want to protect, but rather as a pragmatic decision that may not seem right at first glance, but which will preserve the relationship between the Order and the Bundschuh in the long term. We are experiencing the consequences of the opposite approach here and now.
It is true that I have not yet contacted Civil Servant. The reason for this is that in their last message, the Order provided us with evidence that an individual named Sapphire Raven, supposedly the leader or at least an influential member or ex-member of the Technocracy of Auxo, is acting as a Thrall, possibly an infiltrator, to the Nomads.
We ourselves have had a neutral to positive relationship with the Technocracy so far. However, the latest findings could change that. It is not yet clear how we will deal with this.
If the Technocracy is indeed under widespread influence of the Nomads, we have reason to believe that the current crisis between the Platform and the Overwatch is being exploited to potentially drive the Bundschuh as a whole away from the Order and ultimately infiltrate it, which could drive the Order out of Rheinland and turn the entire nation into a puppet of the enemy once more.
To prevent this, we should inform the Order. The Order must also want to prevent an infiltration of the Bundschuh by the Nomads. I have no doubt that they will support us.
Once that is assured, we should inform the Platform that their relationship with the Technocracy could have serious consequences for the Bundschuh.
Accordingly, I am willing to give you the green light to secure a meeting. I will be there in person with my closest associates and you. Any other activist who would like to get involved, please contact me.
