Unfortunately, we fear that the bomb is active. The locationing device is programmed only to come online when the bomb is able to be detonated manually. Because the device came online, we believe Trotsky has the ability to detonate the weapon. We believe that he would be in favor of the New Berlin Wall, and so will probably not target it or other PRRP targets. We believe he will instead go after an HEO target.
However, we have received a back-channel communique from someone claiming to be Trotsky. We have reason to believe that it actually is him. While he does not disclose his location, he pleads for asylum. He denies any guilt of treason and notes in his letter that "...patriots should not be treated as the foul traitors that the appeasers are..." This seems to confirm his hardline tendency. As he is still a citizen of the PRRP, though, we are going to attempt to bring him in. We ask that all foreign forces do not interfere with our attempts. If foreign security forces detain him, we demand that he be returned to the PRRP.
