Karmodie\nRe: Operation Krumms\u00e4bel best\u00e4tigt\n\nIch habe soeben die Genehmigung erhalten, den OPERATION SCIMITAR zu starten. Ich habe in den letzten Wochen mit vielen von Ihnen gesprochen, um Grundlagenarbeit zu leisten, aber ich habe gez\u00f6gert, zu viele Details offen zu legen, bis Imperator Costigan, Hochstaatssekret\u00e4r Sharrad und Hochanwaltschafter Upshaw ihre offizielle Zustimmung gaben.\n\nIm Anhang dieses Relais finden Sie alle in diesem Briefing genannten Datendateien sowie Genehmigungsauftr\u00e4ge f\u00fcr Ihre lokalen Aufzeichnungen.\n\nIch m\u00f6chte einleiten, dass diese Operation keine Verurteilung ist oder als Angriff auf die Verhaftungsstatistik Ihrer Filiale interpretiert werden soll. Kurz gesagt, der Imperator und der Hohe Vertreter wollen eine starke Pr\u00e4senz in den Systemen entlang der Grenze zu Xi'An. Wir wollen, dass Ihre Agenten ihr Territorium durchsuchen. Ich will eine vollst\u00e4ndige Durchgreifen gegen alle offenen Kopfgelder oder ausstehenden Haftbefehle. Sie sollten alle lokalen Verm\u00f6genswerte f\u00fcr Leads bei neuen Spielern, die f\u00fcr die Region von Interesse sind, ausquetschen.\n\nKoordinieren Sie gegebenenfalls mit der \u00f6rtlichen Polizei und Miliz, um auch deren Sichtbarkeit zu erh\u00f6hen. Wenn jemand in seiner Anwesenheit aus der Reihe tanzt, soll er \u00f6ffentlich niedergeschlagen werden.\n\nJetzt, in der Vergangenheit, k\u00f6nnte diese Art von Operation einige Agenten glauben lassen, dass wir die Leine durchtrennen. Ich werde das nur einmal sagen. Jeder, der glaubt, dass dies eine Ausrede f\u00fcr das kaiserliche Sch\u00e4delbrechen ist, wird genauso hart bestraft wie die Kriminellen. Ich will hart, aber professionell da drau\u00dfen sein, nicht brutal.\n\nBitte lesen Sie die beigef\u00fcgten Betriebsdaten und fragen Sie, wenn etwas unklar ist.\n\nThomas D.

Ich war auf dem Weg zur\u00fcck nach Kiel, als deine Kommunikation ankam. Ich habe die Betriebsdaten mit meinen Mitarbeitern \u00fcberpr\u00fcft und meine ASC hat damit begonnen, Auftr\u00e4ge zu erstellen, die an unsere lokalen SACs weitergeleitet werden. Ich werde sie pers\u00f6nlich informieren, bevor ich ihnen den endg\u00fcltigen Startschuss f\u00fcr die Verfolgung der Ziele gebe.\n\nEine Sache, die ich besprechen wollte: Wir haben einen R\u00fcckgang der Marineschiffe in unserem System festgestellt. Mir wurde gesagt, dass sie f\u00fcr Kriegssimulationen in Magnus eingesetzt wurden. In der Vergangenheit haben wir das Milit\u00e4r zur taktischen Unterst\u00fctzung bei der Durchf\u00fchrung von Hochrisikoabwehrma\u00dfnahmen eingesetzt. Ich werde eine Liste der in Kiel verd\u00e4chtigen Schwergewichte zusammenstellen, aber sollte ich es vermeiden, diese Ziele zu erfassen, bis wir eine Art Unterst\u00fctzung erhalten?\n\nBei allem Respekt,\n\nDerek Tran\nSektionsleiter\nKanzlei der Anwaltschaft\nEri City, Severus, Kiel\n\n\nGesendet 2943-10-28_17:03 SET\nAn: SC Derek Tran\nCc: SC Jaffe Porter, SC Lia Qu, SC Xavier Flynn, SC Kristin Station\nVon: Thomas D.

Wir werden bei unserer Entscheidung den Wert des Ziels im Verh\u00e4ltnis zu den potenziellen Verlusten abw\u00e4gen.\n\nVerzeihen Sie mir auch, wenn ich frage, aber ich habe den Eindruck, dass der wirkliche Schwerpunkt hier eher auf einer \u00f6ffentlichen Demonstration von St\u00e4rke als auf einem neuen Ansatz bei der Kriminalit\u00e4t liegt. Da die Operation nur Systemen in der N\u00e4he ihrer Grenze zugeordnet ist, habe ich auch den Eindruck, dass dieses Display gegen den Xi'An gerichtet ist, besonders wenn man die aktuelle Nachfrage des Imperators nach der Freilassung von Gallen und die pl\u00f6tzliche Entscheidung der Marine, Kriegssimulationen durchzuf\u00fchren, ber\u00fccksichtigt.
