Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft Northwest Headquarters
Hamburg, Greater Germanic Reich

"Three, two, one. We're live." A German cameraman counts down as chimes play when the clock strikes 2000 and intro music plays for the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellfaschft news program. The camera points to the nightly TV presenter, Karl Heinz-Koepcke who looks directly at the camera. He glances down and looks back up and begins to speak what has been written for him by the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

"Today, the first units of Wehrmacht Heer and German SS arrived at the ports of Emden, Bremerhaven, Bremen, and Hamburg after a month-combat against the American imperialist forces who attempted to assassinate the Führer, Adolf Hitler, back on 30th of January 1963," Heinz-Koepcke glances at the paper. "And who rejected peace when they struck down the diplomat's airplane on 10th of March 1963. The Wehrmacht dealt a heavy blow in the northeast of the US along with a major German SS operation, with Heer auxiliaries, landing in Nova Scotia and occupying the eastern portion of Canada in order to make a stable connection with the Heer in the northeast of the United States," He shifts the first page to read the second page. "It wasn't until recently that plans to bring back Wehrmacht and SS soldiers were made with the first ships having departed the week prior, many having returned recently. For what has been dubbed an operational setback. "He glances at the second sheet and looks back at the camera. "Talks have been made with the delegates of the French State, Reichskommissariat of Norwegen, Reichskommissariat Niederlande, and the Kingdom of England to provide military aid and escort remaining Kriegsmarine transport ships. They've been advised by Germania to prepare for an American strike. As of now, there is no official statement released by the SS State of Burgundy. As he continues to read the papers in front of him, he begins to have thoughts of his own.
"Who am I kidding? Aside from the fanatics, everyone knows that this war is only a setup and a conspiracy to entertain Germania and its associates. War should've been easily avoided. It appears in the last moments of the Führer, he desires war to cover up his mistakes and to destabilize Germany so that no one could ever find peace in Europe. I'd say, we're all but done for." Heinz-Koepscke keeps his doubts to himself while he speaks to the camera of what has been written for him to read. Doubt is an all too common feeling within the broadcasters of the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft.
"A reporter on the ground today asked one of the commanders who participated in the retribution strike against the United States, SS-Gruppenführerin Esdeath Partas, about the strike stating and I quote 'Would've gone better if we had more time to prepare and struck early on' end quote. Finally a message from Germania to all citizens of the Reich: Be prepared to ration and make sacrifices as we begin this war to enact vengeance upon those who look down on our nation. Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer." The five-minute daily Tagesschau ends for the day.

1 May 1963
Germania, Greater Germanic Reich

Esdeath had arrived in the Reich the day prior, reaching the port of Hamburg. She delegated the task of headcount to her subordinates knowing that this would take time to properly make a head count of those who died, are wounded, missing, or are still in fighting shape. She takes this opportunity to visit the Volkshalle to speak with a few men in the Germania Volkshalle. She walks accompanied by two officers of her 9th SS Panzergrenadier Eis Divison to act as her guards, but they're a mere formality to put on a show for the Prussian generals, giving an image that Esdeath can be controlled. She walks through the Volkshalle in her service uniform, different from the tattered combat uniform she wore while in combat against the Canadians and Americans.

"One month and all have gone to total failure. I was there in the strategy meetings," Esdeath walks with an intense and furious passion that even her escorts could barely keep up the pace. "I have a lot of questions for him but I doubt his ill and senile mind would be cohesive enough to get me a proper response. I don't want to deal with any of his other cronies either. Bormann is a fat creep, Göring is just a prop, Speer is forgettable, Goebbels is still a brown noser, and SS-Obergruppenführer Müller, like Himmler, prefers to work behind a desk rather than getting his hands dirty. All of them, are nothing but basterds. Just wait until I get a chance to take control of the Reich by killing every one of these men! Then, would I lead a war against the world and take full control. There is no one who could stop me." Esdeath thinks to herself of a dream she had no use of. As she continues to walk through the Volkshalle hallways, Esdeath and her two escorts stop before the entrance to the War Room. The two SS guards of Hitler stop Esdeath and her escorts just before the entrance to the War Room.

"Halt, there is a war meeting going on. You are to wait until the meeting is over." The SS guard advises Esdeath, keeping his rifle before himself.

"May I see that rifle of yours?" Esdeath asks politely. Knowing that Esdeath outranks him he gives his Kar 98k rifle to Esdeath. Esdeath grabs the rifle in front of her. "I haven't seen this rifle in use since the forties," Esdeath comments and appreciates the rifle. She turns to her two escort officers. "Right, open the door boys." Esdeath orders her escorts. The two made their way past the unarmed SS guard and force their way past the second armed guard. But the second SS guard fails to prevent them from reaching the door and promptly they opened it. Inside the war room, a meeting is being held between Hitler and his inner circle as they formulate the next plan of attack in a dark room with only a few lights on. "You can have your rifle back." Esdeath hands back the SS guard's rifle. The meeting was interrupted by Esdeath's entrance. "Apologies for the rude entrance, gentlemen." Esdeath walks in alone with her escort officers staying behind, she removes her SS officer's cap and places it under her left shoulder. Esdeath walks in with the other generalfeldmarschall and high-ranking officers of the SS and Wehrmacht staring at her with eyes of contempt and annoyance, Esdeath stops before Hitler. "Heil Hitler, my Führer." Esdeath salutes Hitler. He stands up and salutes her back with an informal heil.

"Heil," He salutes Esdeath. "So what is it that you want, SS-Gruppenführerin?" Hitler asks. Esdeath thinks for a moment of what to ask the Führer and possibly the other high ranking officers.

"Firstly, the American campaign was nothing but a failure. It seemed that we underestimated the American response. Causing the front to collapse just as it was setting up, but not before inflicting heavy casualties against the Americans and their allies. We've only completed a quarter of our objectives before having to fall back." Esdeath continued giving her report. "Secondly. I wasn't made aware of a strategy meeting. The last time I remembered, was when I helped come up with plans for Operation Fall Rockwell in this very room. Named after an ally of the Reich in the US. But aside from that, I wish to know why I've been moved to Canada mid-journey, my Führer." Esdeath asked in the manner she knows best to get to Hitler.

"Thank you for the report, SS-Gruppenführerin," Hitler tells Esdeath. "As per your second question. Let's say it's to provide a last-minute surprise effort against the American ally of Canada. I had hopes that this last-minute implementation would be effective. But as it was seen, such victory wasn't achieved. Plus, it would provide a great challenge to you, SS-Gruppenführerin" Hitler turns around to face his field marshalls. He points to Göring, "Now if you wish SS-Gruppenführerin, you may join us as Herr Göring was presenting an operation plan that would balance the odds in our favor." Adolf turns his head to Esdeath, offering to stay and listen to the rest of the meeting.

"Thank you for the offer my Führer, but I must decline. If possible, please telegram me or send me the operation plans to my office in my estate. But another thing, my Führer" Esdeath changes her tone. "Why would you interrupt such a well-constructed plan for something that you perceived was right but at the same time almost all can agree that this plan to split my forces at the last minute was, for a lack of better words, mere lunacy and incompetency." Esdeath vents her frustration.

"Excuse me, SS-Gruppenführerin? But what did you just say?!" Hitler asks Esdeath, feeling that he's been insulted by one of his many loyal followers.

"You heard me, my Führer. That order that you've sent, has doomed Operation Fall Rockwell, as well as blemishing the image of the Wehrmacht and SS." Esdeath continues, but before she could continue SS-Obergruppenführer Heinrich Müller stands up from his seat and walks in between the two.

"SS-Gruppenführerin Partas. Mind if I remind you who you're speaking with," Müller lambasts Esdeath. "You first entered the war room without permission and interrupt an important meeting. If this is part of your monthly cycle... then may I ask for you to leave. Your transgressions will be looked over since you've only just arrived back in the fatherland." Müller continues. Esdeath sense an offense to her pride. Since Heydrich's death in 1942, Himmler's departure to his new SS-State, SS-Obergruppenführer Müller was made head of the German SS after Esdeath had passed on the position. But now all she can feel is anger, anger at Hitler's failing mental strength and those who are still singing praises while scheming behind him. Coupled with the fact that there are still some fanatics who couldn't figure out which side to join or lied to themselves that Hitler is still a healthy man. Esdeath knows which camp Müller is in. Müller turns to Hitler. "My Führer, I apologize for her actions. Proper punishment would befall upon her for her insubordination and insults." Müller doubles down.

"No need," Hitler responded turning to Esdeath. "Like what Herr Müller. You've just arrived from battle and wish to drop your grievances about the failure of the operation onto me. The failure of Operation Fall Rockwell is your responsibility. I will take no action against you at the moment for the insult. Now, leave SS-Gruppenführerin Partas before I change my mind." Hitler orders Esdeath.

"I understand... Heil." Esdeath salutes Hitler and leaves the war room with her escort officers following suit with her. The men in the war room, especially Göring, Speer, and their subordinates could sense the uneasiness and near avoidance of death, knowing that Hitler was angering the wrong person.

"Well, I'd say she took it well." Hitler turns to the generals and field marshalls, making a passing comment about Esdeath. The men in the war room nervously laugh, then the laughter dies down. "If you may, please continue Herr Göring."

"Thank you, my Führer." Göring continues. "As I was saying. We propose an operation to hold off the Americans from the sea and air as much as possible while recovering our men from the Western front. It's a joint operation that includes involvement and cooperation with the Kingdom of England. As for the eastern border with the Soviet Union, the Reichskommissariats are to deal with them." Göring continues with his presentation of a proposed short-course operation to recover their losses and to prevent an American attack on the European mainland, an operation supported by the militarists and moderately supported by the conservatives, with the reformists agreeing to a position of it, and the German SS being against it.

Esdeath leaves the Volkshalle and arrives at her estate. Hours passed and Esdeath is still livid by the Führer's own incompetency and his own men fervently supporting him in spite of his ailing health. Even her leader in the German SS had unknowingly struck her pride and sided with Hitler, even if it was already clear enough that he was appealing to Hitler to cover his apathy of being a national socialist. Esdeath vents her frustrations onto an unknown person who was sent to spy on her. Torturing him to satiate her sadistic pleasure but to also vent her frustration.
"These god-dammed men!" Esdeath kicks the spy in the stomach. "Hitler, Göring, Müller! All of them be dammed to hell!" Esdeath strikes the spy in the chest. Piercing through his chest and leaving a hole in his chest and blood on Esdeath's boots. "I've gone overboard and destroyed another of my toy. Might as well find another death row inmate." Esdeath speaks to herself and leaves the dungeon that is her basement. "You two, get rid of him." Esdeath orders her subordinates.

"Yes, madam." The two subordinates follow her orders. Moving forward to dispose of the corpse. Esdeath walks through the hallway of her mansion with a bloodied boot. She makes her way to her office and sits on her chair.

"I'm already tired of this Reich." Esdeath comments to herself. Esdeath glances over to her office desk and spots a manilla envelope directed for her, with a red lettering that states Streng Geheim. One of the subordinates in her division left the envelope for her after requesting a copy of the operation plans before leaving the Volkshalle. "I'll look at that later." Esdeath rests for the moment. "But another thing. Where is Tatsumi?" Esdeath asked aloud. She considers two options, either in the Volkshalle or in Burgundy. "Of all things, why is this happening to me? The failure of Operation Fall Rockwell is pinned on me, they struck my pride and honor as a general, and Tatsumi is nowhere to be found. I swear if I get a call from Hitler or Müller then it has to be an apology for their incompetence. If not then I don't want to hear it." Esdeath rants. Esdeath leans back on her chair and remembers a few specific memories that would keep her spirits up.

November 1960
Germania, Greater Germanic Reich

Two weeks passed after Tatsumi's arrival at Esdeath's estate and his tragic reunification with Esdeath. Esdeath is overjoyed and happy nonetheless, despite the immense age gap between Tatsumi and Esdeath. Esdeath encourages Tatsumi to ready himself as they get ready to meet with an important man.
On the car ride to the Volkshalle Tatsumi couldn't help but look around with his eyes at the magnitude and size of the city. It was a nostalgic feeling, almost as if he was transported back to the first day of entering the Imperial Capital of the Empire. Many of the buildings were grandiose with white exteriors and built in the neo-classical style. Though its grandeur isn't massive as the Imperial Capital it was nonetheless unique and great in its own unique style.

"Overwhelming the city isn't it Tatsumi?" Esdeath asks, keeping Tatsumi's Imperial Arms: Incursio close to her. "They finished rebuilding the capital Berlin last year and gave it a new name. Germania. Took'em almost fourteen years to build this from the ground up. Demolishing old buildings except for a few remnants of the old Kaiereich, like its churches, monuments, and the Reichstag. Everything else was demolished to its foundations and rebuilt to the ground up with new buildings and a miniature forest." Esdeath continued.

"So they kicked people out just to rebuild this city?" Tatsumi asked. "That's unusual for them to do so. But then again, it's something that Esdeath would do, but normally ending with the city destroyed and people killed." Tatsumi thought to himself. The car rounds its final roundabout and takes a straight drive through the Tiergarten until the car reaches the main monument of the entire city of Germania, the Volkshalle. The domed building stands tall and proudly over the city of Germania as its main hallmark, with the Reichsadler perched on top of the dome overlooking the city.
The car stops just before the main entrance to the Volkshalle and Esdeath and Tatsumi are led out of the vehicle. The chauffeur drives off with Esdeath's Mercedes, expected to arrive as soon as Esdeath is finished with her meeting with the Führer. Tatsumi and Esdeath stand side by side with one another Esdeath wears her officer's uniform with her gloves covering her left ice arm and hand. Tatsumi wears a custom-order navy blue suit and tie with the NSDAP Armand. The two begin to walk together through the main square in front of the Volkshalle named after the Führer, the two make their direction to the Volkshalle.

"Now Tasumi listen to me. You are to remain silent unless you're addressed to. Let me do all of the talking, understand Tatsumi dear?" Esdeath instructs Tatsumi as she would with any one of her soldiers.

"Right, Esdeath," Tatsumi responded despondently.

"Uh-uh! While in public or in front of other figures you are to refer to me by my title and name, understand?" Esdeath corrects Tatsumi.

"Right, General Esdeath." Tatsumi corrects his answer with Esdeath's old title.

"Its SS-Gruppenführerin. Esdeath Partas of the 9th SS Panzergrenadier Eis Division.," She corrects Tatsumi in his manner of addressing Esdeath. "You may also refer to me as SS-Gruppenführerin Partas or Frau Partas. Understand, Herr Tatsumi?"

"Yes, Frau Partas," Tatsumi responded, with a hint of annoyance at Esdeath indulging in her titles. The two enter the Volkshalle and Tatsumi is overwhelmed by the aesthetics created by the National Socialists. The interior is made of lavish polished stone, granite, and marble. Esdeath met with the front secretary to make the Führer known of her presence and appointment. Promptly they are escorted to the inside of the main stage of the Volkshalle. Tatsumi couldn't help but gawk at the main hall of the Volkshalle interior: its large flooring sports a grand swastika that covers the entirety of the floor, greco-roman style columns and multi-level seating are reminiscent of such period, the banner of the national socialist state drapes in between every other column space, with two large golden statues standing behind the main stage for the Führer and his underlings, the gold statue of the Parteiadler is placed in between above the statues on the wall, with the only source of light is the turret above the dome that allows for the sun to shine inside of the building.
"This is... this is way different from the Capital," Tatsumi thinks to himself as he is overtaken by how small he is compared to the interior of the Volkshalle and how open it is compared to the Imperial Palace. "Esdeath, how is this possible?"

"What did I say, Tatsumi?" Esdeath warns Tatsumi.

"Right, sorry." Tatsumi apologizes. "Then again, this place is just like the Capital and the Empire of our old world. It's almost nostalgic in a sense." Tatsumi then glances at his sheathed Imperial Arms in between Esdeath's left arm and torso, as well as her military cap. "But, I could escape if I could get my hands on Incursio. Yet, if he has Incursio, who knows how powerful she would be?" As Tatsumi and Esdeath continue to wait, one of Hitler's German SS secretaries walks to the two and stops before them.

"Don't apologize so much, Tatsumi," Esdeath gives Tatsumi advice. "Germania isn't like the Imperial Capital. Of course, the two differ in many ways, yet its similar. You'll see for yourself. So for now, just follow my lead and do as I say. Understand?" Esdeath presents Tatsumi's advice. As the two continue to wait, one of Hitler's German SS secretaries walks to the two and stops before them.

"Der Führer wird sehen Sie jetzt, SS-Gruppenführerin," (The Führer will see you now,) The German SS secratary tells the two. "Bitte, folgen Sie mir." (Please, follow me.)

"What did he say, Frau Partas?" Tatsumi asked Esdeath.

"Just follow me," Esdeath responded. The two then follow the German SS secretary inside the main stage and are then led to an elevator that takes them to the top floor of the Volkshalle, to the office of the Führer. Inside the hallway before the Führer's office are two German SS sentries of the 1. SS Panzer Divison Leibstandarte-SS Adolf Hitler: dressed in all back service dress uniform of the SS with a white webbing of their kit, white gloves, a black stahlhelm with the left shield having the tricolor of black-white-red and on the right the black sieg runes of the SS, black boots, and wielding a Kar 98k rifle. Their presence, despite not being on the same level as the praetorian guards of his world, unnerves Tatsumi. The three stop just before the two German SS secretaries. The escorting German SS officers leave the two as the two German SS secretaries stand up with one of them grabbing a phone that connects to the Führer's main office. The German SS secretary with the phone lets the Führer know of Esdeath's arrival along with her companion and a sword. He places the phone down and looks at the two.

"Sie dürfen reingehen." (You may enter.) The German SS secretary grants Esdeath and Tatsumi entrance into the Führer's office. Esdeath gestures Tatsumi to follow as the two begin to enter the Führer's office. The two senteries open the doors to allow entrance for Esdeath and Tatsumi, they close the door behind them after they entered. Esdeath final step made a final sound of a loud thump on the red carpet and raises her hand just above her hand at an angle. Tatsumi was confused by the manner of saluting the Führer. Esdeath glances at Tatsumi.

"Raise your hand, Tatsumi," Esdeath tells Tatsumi. Tatsumi does the same as Esdeath. Hitler turns around from his window that overlooks a part of Germania. "Heil Hitler." Esdeath salutes the Führer.

"Heil," Hitler salutes Esdeath. In times of war Hitler wears his military-esque or party uniforms, yet in times of peace he wears a professionally made suit. Esdeath and Tatsumi bring their arms down. "Bitte, sitzen." (Please, sit) Hitler directs Esdeath and Tatsumi to take a seat. "Also, wer ist ihn?" (So, who is he?) Hitler gestures to Tatsumi.

"Er war einen Kollegen von meiner alten Welt. Er hat gegen das Reich mit einem Attentatbund gekämpft. Das wissen sie schon, genau mein Führer?" (He was a collegue from my old world. Having fought against the Empire with an assassination group. You already know that, right?) Esdeath addresses Hitler. Tatsumi sits quietyl as the two continue to converse with one another.

"I have no idea what they're even talking about?" Tatsumi thinks to himself. "But looking at this man, he looks old and frail to rule, I'm even surprised he's gotten Esdeath under his command like Prime Minister Honest. Yet, I have no doubt the two would become allies instantly." Tatsumi furthers thinks to himself, drowning out Esdeath's and Hitler's conversation."If he is like Honest, then I should try to get the upper hand and kill him as fast as I can. But first, I should know if these two are murderers. For Esdeath it's obvious as she has the face of a mass murderer. But this old man, I should keep an eye on."

"Tatsumi, stand up," Esdeath orders Tatsumi to stand. He reciprocates her command as Hitler walks around from his desk and observes Tatsumi.

"Hmm, I see you are of strong build, Junge" Hitler comments on Tatsumi's features in English. He places his right hand on Tatsumi's chin and moves Tatsumi's head from side to side. "You have the eyes of a warrior. A strong one nonetheless, but not like a soldier. Nein, a killer, a murderer." Hitler further comments, he removes his hand from Tatsumi's chin. He begins to walk back from Tatsumi.

"Wait, you can speak the same language as me." Tatsumi exclaims, shocked that only moments earlier they were speaking in another language.

"Ja, of course. I am using this time to prepare a speech for a conference in the Kingdom of England. I hope by the end... the Kingdom of England and the rest of this British Union that Kingdom has made will integrate into the Einheitspakt." Hitler comments.

"I see," Tatsumi responded.

"I see what?" Hitler asked with a displeased tone.

"I apologize on behalf of Tatsumi, my Führer. He only appeared in this world a couple of weeks ago and is still learning the language and customs of the Reich. Today is his first time visiting the capital city of Germania." Esdeath stands up from her chair keeping Incursio near her person. She then presents the Imperial Arms to Hitler, holding it with both hands open and flat with the hilt facing the right side of Hitler. Hitler walks closer to see the blade up close. "Dies, mein Führer, ist ein Kaiserwaffe im Besitz des Reichs. Es ist ähnlich wie meiner Kaiserwaffe. Es erlaubt seinem Besitzer, extreme Macht auszuüben, mein Führer." (This, my Führer, is an Imperial Arms in possession of the Reich. It's like my own Imperial Arms. It allows its user to wield extreme power.) Hitler looks in awe at wielding a sword that grants its user immense power. Now, he's able to utilize a weapon to enforce the Reich's control outside of Esdeath, who is only limited by her position in the Party and the German SS. He grabs the hilt of the sword but oncomes a sense of uneasiness and discomfort simply from grabbing its handle. Hitler lets go of Incursio's hilt as he sensed darker forces at work with this blade.

"Wie?" (How?) Hitler asks as he grabs his right wrist with his trembling left hand. Esdeath nods her head in Tatsumi's direction.

"He, my Führer, is able to use this Imperial Arms." Esdeath catches Tatsumi's attention who was only thinking up to himself now as he tried to further distance himself from Esdeath.

"Ach so." Hitler already becoming impressed with having two Imperial Arms users but also annoyed that he cannot wield such powers with his personal hands. "Dann, ich delegiere die Verantwortung für seine Ausbilding an Sie. Machen Sie ihn loyal zu der Partei. Brechen Sie ihn, wenn Sie müssen. Aber töten Sie ihn nicht. Verstehen Sie das, SS-Gruppenführerin Partas?" (Then, I'll delegate the responsibility for his training to you. Make him loyal to the Party. Break him if you must. But do not kill him. Do you understand?) Hitler gives new orders to Esdeath. Esdeath couldn't help to be elated by her orders given to her by Hitler to keep TAtsumi without him being taken away from one of the other members of Hitler's inner circle.

"Ja, mein Führer." Esdeath responded, Hitler circles back to his desk and hits back down on his chair.

"Sie sind entlassen SS-Gruppenführerin Partas, und nehmen Sie den Junge mit Ihnen." (You're dismissed SS-Gruppenführerin Partas and take the boy with you.) Esdeath salutes Hitler one last time before leaving. She turns to Tatsumi who is almost lost by their conversation.

"Come Tatsumi you have much to learn." Esdeath orders Tatsumi, keeping close Incursio with her. Tatsumi has no choice but to follow Esdeath's command. As the two leave the Volkshalle and arrive back to Esdeath's chauffered car, Tatsumi has a question relating to Esdeath's conversation with the Führer, Adolf Hitler.

"So, Esdeath. What did you two talk about." Tatsumi asked, keeping his eye on Incursio but taking quick glances at Esdeath's eyes to maintain a facade of keeping eye contact while Esdeath looked out of the window. She turns to Tatsumi and simply chuckles with a smile.

"Well, my dear," Esdeath places her hand onto Tatsumi's exposed hand that is near to her. "Simply put, we'll be doing everything short of marriage." Esdeath responds. Tatsumi responded by taking his hand back in disgust of Esdeath bringing up the idea of marriage in front of him. Esdeath merely chuckled once more.

But as she reminisces the good times she had with Tatsumi a ring is made on her rotary phone. She rarely ever gets calls from Germania personally as all correspondence from high command is always in person from Germania or is phoned or telegrammed by one of her guards in her estate. Esdeath grows suspicious but grabs the phone anyways. "Yes, this is SS-Gruppenführerin Esdeath Partas speaking?" Esdeath asks.

"It has been a while, Frau SS-Gruppenführerin Partas. I've heard about your little incident in Germania," The voice speaks to her. It's a familiar voice that she instantly recognizes but not one from Germania nor its officers of the high ranking status in the Wehrmacht or German SS, but the head of the SS as a whole. Esdeath stands up from her chair at attention. "I assume you already know my voice?"

"Heil Himmler." Esdeath greets the Reichsführer of the SS and of the Burgundian SS, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler.

"I'll keep this brief, SS-Gruppenführerin. I'm inviting you to the Ordenstaat. Your projects are all awaiting further instructions." Himmler tells Esdeath. Esdeath remembers now. Previously she put her projects and plans behind her as she prepared herself for war. Now she has an excuse to go see the progression as those tasks she also had delegated to the Burgundian SS officers. "I'm waiting for your answer."

"I see then they are eager to await my arrival. When can I see them?" Esdeath asks Himmler.

"Tomorrow in the early morning you will go to the Saarmmund Aerodrome outside of Germania in Brandenburg. A plane will be ready for you at five in the morning. You are to board the plane that has the number eight on each side of the plane near the main door. I'll wait for your arrival in my office in Ost-Paris." Himmler ends the call. Esdeath places her phone down back on top of where she picked it up from.

"Hm. Well with this many set back, I guess it doesn't hurt to have a backup or two. Perhaps in this case three plus one joint project." Esdeath sits back down and begins to converse with herself. "I wonder what they're doing at the moment?" Esdeath lightly chuckles. Not wanting to wait any further to put her projects into practice.
