ELECTRONIC MAIL INTERCEPTED BY UNDISCLOSED MEANS, REDACTED
Classification: confidential
Hi little sister,
I hope you are well and the parcel with the chocolate has reached you. Congratulate the little one on thinking about the old mail account. I hope they do not know about it. As far as anything else is considered I am well. They are paying me reasonably, the rent is covered and I eat on government expenses and wear government issue clothing.
As far as the economics is concerned I think you should be long term optimistic. Anybody who owns land in a major urban area is a winner in this crisis. Even if the detection system goes up again tomorrow, the truth remains. What has happened once can happen again.
I understand those protesters as far as their concerns are valid, but nobody can change them. The chancellor is right. They need to obey the evacuation orders. We cannot keep the roads open if every little small town is teeming with monsters. The real villains here is that shadow organization the government is cooperating with. They sat on magic for centuries and played „nonintervention“. The world is not Star Trek. Considering what they let happen (please do not use keywords they might latch on in your replies), to us and to the world, which, I know, we two are weighing differently, I cannot cut them any slack. I hate them. Truly, viscerally hate them. Picking nonintervention for yourself may be acceptable. Forcing that on the world is not. The blood of everybody they could have let us save is on their hands.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
We expect that we’ll be transfered soon, so don’t be alarmed if you hear nothing from me for some time.

AN UNMARKED MEETING ROOM IN AN OFFICE BUILDING IN BERLIN
Participants: Captain Carstens (armed forces),
Classification: Secret
O: Thank you for coming. I’ve called this meeting because I hope we are ready to initiate the next phase of the project.
S: We have multiple intercepts indicating that a large majority of the participants have understood the situation and a significant minority has evaluated it as we need it.
C: We have one shot if we choose to spend the full resources
O: This country burned the bridges behind itself last night. We cannot justify anything but going all in.
C: But the consequences of failure.
O: Captain, even a partial success, hell even some forms of failure, will strengthen the government’s – meaning our country’s – hand in future negotiations.
S: You are already thinking of folding?
O: Those are your words. We have to keep our people alive. Even at some sacrifices of core ideals
C: Very well, we all knew it could come to this when this mess initially landed in our inboxes.
S: Will you handle one personally?
C: Yes, recommendations?
S: Sure ...
O: Bye, the way, Major Carstens, you might take a little detour before going to your helicopter.
C: My rank is ... . Thank you for the good news.
