The sudden reemergence of such high-ranking personnel without notice tends to trigger issues.

You have a ghost reappear, you do not tell me this. We both know the ramifications of what she does and how complicated this matter is. The last thing I needed was to be informed due to a confused field report to one of my officers triggering an investigation. Not from being given notice by you or your subordinates. I had to send men to start a little manhunt. Though I'm sure you'll be glad to know our preventative measures do seem to work!

Let me make this clear though. I am not my predecessor, and I will not stand for games. This was not a stellar start. How can I be expected to work with or aid you if you do not tell me little things like, why has this extraordinarily dangerous, influential woman returned and what for? Do you even grasp how deeply politicized our organizations remain?

Nonetheless, at the very least, you ought to appraise me now; I will make time in my schedule to meet you or her, if needed. I suppose both would be best, actually. But this better be damned good. I have enough on my plate keeping the Military in line as one force and dealing with the minor issues of the several armed groups who want to kill us all. The only silver lining in this is that our horrifically stalled attempts to recreate her work might finally be able to achieve something now.

Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Hochachtungsvoll,
Erich von Richter
Großadmiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
