CO_Krust says:
FCO: Good question, Jakob.  CTO: Has your surveillance revealed anything, Lt.?

CTO_Terr says:
CO: I wasn't completely satisfied with his explanation and I tend to agree with the FCO on this.  I noticed the Paulus name a couple of times when I was searching trough the New Prussian database and it was linked with von Zunker quite a lot.

XO_Krieg says:
