The room itself was small and dimly lit, a small office in the western Chancellory Wing of the Hauptgebäude, a desk sat opposed and facing to the door, with bookshelves lining the walls apart from two large windows overlooking the Square outside the building and the northern portion of the city. In and of itself it represented the Ratskanzler well, tidy yet ever so unkempt, the shelves lined with Rennekkan and Asuran philosophical and historical texts, a single grandfather clock next to the door, and a copy of Der Verborgene Stern (A fairly well known science fiction novel) lying open on the desk.
The Ratskanzler himself was pacing in circles around the room, finding he could never sit still when he had to think. This time however it was different, the first few weeks of his activity were relatively easy compared to his current tasks, military actions were maintained by the Oberkommando and while the Convention took place he had only had to voice his opinions on the most major of decisions. This gave him enormous amounts of time to begin the writing and reconstruction of the Ovan Political system from the top down, practically with out question. But one issue would always arise, and it no less infuriated him because of it.
“No matter what I do it’s the same,” he thought to himself, ”We can’t allow full diplomatic access to the Äußere* for fear of the loss of our economic sovereignty, but we can’t ignore them as we’d falter. Nor can I allow it with Party limitations as that is anti-Individualistic or limit interractions to local authorities as that would further limit what influence the central party would have.”
He continued to pace, his muscles beginning to grow tired by the near-constant scowl he’d worn for most of the day, before finally slumping back into his chair and taking a drink. “And there’s also the issue of the Party itself,” he tapped his glass, the flare of anxiety suddenly rising up as he thought about the predicament he’d pushed himself into. In wishing to maintain stability for the time being he had maintained the system of Ratsdemokratie currently used too support the War Effort; In doing so he maintained an immense amount of internal power to fully shape the Commonwealth during his time in office. However the idea that a distrustful Heerfürher or Assembly member forcibly removing him from office on grounds of “Abuse of Power” was becomming to likely for comfort. If he was going to act, he had to act now.

Varshanka, Jannik, Kardinal Mobiler Befehl
Kommissar-General Abelkis - “Who in all hell does he think he is?”
Heerfürher Van Aarden - “Ma’am if you could calm down for just a moment, Christoffer’s not a fool, and he’d be the last one to try something.”
The Kommissar-General had been in a state of constant fury since the announcement by the Chancellor to maintain the Ratsdemokratie system, ‘Right as she left for Jannik’, she would yell, ‘Right when he knew I couldn’t get to him’.
Van Aarden - “I could argue in favor of his action, if only to an extent.”
Gabriele Abelkis - “I know that, we desperately need a central voice, especially with the Communes in the level of shear disarray, but to move for that time-expansion without a response from the Assemblies?”
Van Aarden - “Even if he does turn against us, we have the arms, and you have the people.”
Gabriele Abelkis - “I hope you’re right, mein freund, I really do.”
The Ratskanzler heard a knock on the door;
“Eintreten.”
The door opened as the two guards stationed outside moved to allow another two uniformed people in; The two woman, tall, seemingly in there 30’s, a red armband with the letters O.S.V.K.P. emblazoned on it. Each wore a formal Party uniform characterized by Red Beret’s with a golden Gear and Grain pin, and a blue strip over their left shoulders marking them as members of the Foreign Affairs Division, a Civilian Branch of the Kardinalarmee. The first one held a manilla envelope, opening it before speaking;
“Sieg Freiheiten mein Ratskanzler, my name is Heide Van Maessen of the Foreign Affairs Division, this is Ulrica Smit, we’re here..”
“You’re hear to discuss our Foreign Policy.”
“Erm, y-yes sir, well I’m actually here to ask something.”
“Go on?”
"Well you see.."
Christoffer raised his eighbrows, whatever it was he knew he wasn't going to like it.
Ulrica broke in, “We’d like to be sent to Nadelküste.”
Varshanka-Gebiet, S.S. Kombinierte Front Feldviertel Hauptquartier
Rainar - “It’d be damn easier to coordinate this assault if the SDV didn’t butt it’s head in every twenty minutes begging for developments.”
Isana - “Ha! The Ochën Vize must be just screaming for reinforcements from across the sea." She paused for a moment, looking back at the maps of the Peninsula, This is the price we pay for fight a war on the side of the Anarchist.”
Rainar - “Death to secrets of authority, especially the ones our Enemies want to know!”
Isana laughed, “Hey hey, I’m actually I’m more interested in whats coming after the war, wanna take bets as to how long it takes for the state to collapse?”
Rainar and Clovis simultaneously - “A Year!”
Jakob - “Don't worry, the State can’t collapse if there's no state.”
All four continued laughing, the sheer absurdity of the situation weighing in; They were a top-down coalition of Militia’s fighting for Anarchists, as the media relayed there every move to the enemy in its war against “Top-down Corruption”.
Ulrich - “Oh yea, we’re gonna to die.”
The 3 original Noir Generals, Isana, Rainar, and Clovis had arrived at the front lines the night before, joining up with the Särgahn-Schweisein an hour later. After setting up base-camp, they had begun to relay information to the Trade-convoy moving several Tons worth of supplies to the front lines. The met with Ulrich first, and after a few hours, a second General, Jakob von Hoizer, arrived to finish developing resources and convoy routes.
Jakob - "Just double checking, the F32 along the Gastreude Lowlands, thats been cleared fully?"
Clovis - "So far as the Oberkommando has specified, we should also have full air coverage throughout our time there, although the rest of the Luftwaffe'll be heading towards the Valheimer Plateau."
Isana - "Chasing after the Vorhut Rebels I presume?"
Clovis - "Where else, although that plan will fall apart if the Vize break encirclement on the Peninsula before we arrive."
