Bee Sting is an intelligence system used by Germany and Paradeus. It is also an encyclopedia feature found in Girls' Frontline.
In the lore
The Bee Sting System (蜂针系统) is a real-time intelligence gathering system for both external and internal surveillance,[1] hosted in the underground White Zone of Germany's new capital, Frankfurt.[2] During the Sunspot Incident, a senior Stasi agent defected to the Neo-Soviet Union and revealed their entire intelligence apparatus.[3] The incident set the Stasi back 20 years behind the Neo-Soviet Union's intelligence abilities. To remedy this, General Heinrich Schweinsteiger restructured the Stasi and had the Ministry of Science and Technology create the Bee Sting System. According to Q, Paradeus was also involved in its creation. It was said that the only way to escape it was to avoid any remote communication.[4][5] Its level of detail went down to information about individual mercenary T-Dolls,[6] but the system remained imperfect: some files such as Shaw's were suspected to contain fake intelligence[3] and Morridow was known to have deleted information from it to hide her failure to capture Machlian.[1] The over-reliance of Paradeus on Bee Sting has been cited as a reason of the fall of Avernus in October 2064,[7] and fake intel was later successfully used to mislead Paradeus forces during Operation Adrasteia.[8]
Among the Stasi agents with access to Bee Sting were “Evangelist”, and Nemhran, a Paradeus double-agent working as a liaison between the Stasi and their mole in the Neo-Soviet Statesec, Colonel Dupieux.[3] Through Nemhran, Paradeus had complete access to Bee Sting, and held a Bee Sting control center in the Eastern Tower of Avernus.[9] Nemhran's position granted her power and authority within Paradeus.[1] Maggie also had access to Bee Sting as a Paradeus informant in the Siberian Lifeline intercontinental railway.[10][11] Q claimed that the Neo-Soviet Union was unaware of Bee Sting's existence, but Dupieux later revealed that Statesec in fact knew about it and already had some countermeasures in place against it.[3]
Under Romy Riefenstahl, agent Q received the mission to bring Bee Sting under the exclusive control of the Stasi.[12] Agent “Evangelist” possessed an access key to Bee Sting, and Riefenstahl gave their access to Q after they were killed.[5] In November 2064, as part of Operation Adrasteia, Squad 404 infiltrated a Paradeus base in Frankfurt and successfully hacked into the Bee Sting system, where they recovered the location where the Commander was detained and information about Operation Cocoon.[13][14][15]

Frankfurt District
- Frankfurt District
Formerly known as the city of Frankfurt am Main, it is located on the vast plain south of the Taunus range, on the northern bank of the Main River.
To solidify Frankfurt’s status as the capital and an independent city-state, the Democratic Republic of Germany (DDR) reorganized its administrative divisions, transforming the former city of Frankfurt into the Frankfurt District. This district, along with Mainz, Wiesbaden, Raunheim, Offenbach, and Eschborn, form the new capital.
During the Third World War, Frankfurt was devastated by bombings. In the post-war reconstruction period, several iconic buildings were restored, including the Alte Oper, the Kaiserdom St. Bartholomaeus, Römerberg, and Goethe-Haus.
Today, Frankfurt is a city where prosperity coexists with ruin, where modernity intertwines with history. It carries both glory and sorrow, earning it the name "The Tears of the Main River".
- Kaiserdom St. Batholomaeus
Commonly known as the Imperial Cathedral, this is one of the most famous landmarks in the Frankfurt District, located along the Main. Its history dates back to the 13th century.
The main tower, a magnificent 15th-century Gothic structure, stands at 95 meters tall.
From 1562 to 1792, ten German emperors were crowned here.
The cathedral suffered damage in the bombings of Frankfurt during both WWII and WWIII, but the tower miraculously survived.
- Alte Oper
Originally built in 1880, the Alte Oper was destroyed twice by war and rebuilt twice.
The exterior remains faithful to its historical design, while the interior has been modernized into a state-of-the-art performance venue, equipped with the latest multimedia technology. The only remnant of its pre-war splendor is the grand, full-scale replica of the original crystal chandelier beneath its domed ceiling.
In addition to hosting operas, ballets, and concerts, the Alte Oper now serves as a convention center.
- Eiserner Steg
In 1867, Frankfurt’s citizens and industrialists funded the construction of a suspension bridge spanning the Main, connecting the north and south bank.
Completed in 1869, the bridge was later destroyed in WWIII and rebuilt to its original design.
Today, the Eiserner Steg is exclusively for pedestrians. Its railings are covered with countless love locks, symbolizing the romantic hopes of Frankfurt’s people.
An inscription from Homer’s Odyssey adorns the bridge:"ΠΛΕΩΝ ΕΠΙ ΟΙΝΟΠΑ ΠΟΝΤΟΝ ΕΠ ΑΛΛΟΘΡΟΟΥΣ ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΥΣ"
This Greek phrase translates to, "Sailing the wine-dark sea to men of strange speech."
- Goethe-Haus
Located at 23-25 Großer Hirschgraben, Goethe's Birthplace is a seven-window-wide Baroque townhouse. Destroyed during WWIII, it was later meticulously rebuilt in its original form.
The building’s facade is painted pale yellow, and above the entrance hangs a coat of arms bearing three lyres. The ground floor houses the kitchen and dining room, while the second floor features a Rococo-style salon and music room. On the third floor is the room where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born on August 28, 1749; newspapers announcing his birth are displayed on its walls. The fourth floor contains Goethe’s personal study, where he penned his groundbreaking novel, “The Sorrows of Young Werther” , which shook the German literary world.
On October 15, 2064, a special 290th anniversary special exhibition of “The Sorrows of Young Werther” was opened to the public for one month.
- Römeberg Franfurt[sic]
Located north of the Main in the heart of Frankfurt's Old Town, Römeberg dates back to the Middle Ages. it was destroyed twice during WWII and WWIII, then reconstructed after each conflict.
At the center of the square stands the Fountain of Justice with a statue of the goddess Justitia. The word "Römer", German for "Romans", is projected onto the fountain. Justitia holds a sword in her right hand, symbolizing authority and punishment, and a scale in her left, representing fairness and justice. The statue was originally built in 1611 using sandstone and replaced with a bronze version in 1887.
Following the "Cultural Heritage 3D Program" launched by the government in 2035, which digitally modeled national heritage sites for educational and cultural purposes, the square was restored on a 1:1 scale after WWIII. The traditional Christmas market held during the four weeks leading up to Christmas continues to this day.
- Brentanopark
A riverside park along the Nidda, surrounded by residential areas, schools, and sports venues.
Originally a Prussian noble estate, it was acquired in 1808 by Frankfurt merchant Brentano. In 1926, the city converted the gardens into a public park, which remains freely accessible to this day.
Brentano Park is a serene and popular space for daily recreation and exercise.
- Rossartrism
Derived from "The Beilan Island Incident Investigation Report" by Mr. Raeder Albert Rossartre.
Rossartrism holds that humanity has missed the opportunity to preserve the existing world order. An inevitable global catastrophe will arise from nations clashing over their own interests. After this dark era, the only path to saving the dying human civilization is the establishment of a unified global government.
This ideology is collectively referred to as Rossartrism.
- Congress Center Messe Frankfurt
One of the five major exhibition centers in the German Democratic Republic, hosting around 15 large international expos and over 50 mid-to-small exhibitions annually. These cover consumer goods, textiles, home appliances, automobiles, books, tourism, and more.
The center includes 10 exhibition halls, covering a total area of 470,000 m², with 321,000 m² of indoor space and 90,000 m² of outdoor space.
Besides commercial exhibitions, the venue also serves for international summits, government conferences, major celebrations, press briefings, and more.
In October 2064, a month-long Special Commemoration Exhibition on Rossartism, hosted by the Frankfurt city government, was held here.
- Römer Building
Also known as the "Roman Building, the old government building on the west side of Römerberg plaza is composed of three interconnected Gothic lofts, the roofs forming inverted V-shapes.
First constructed in 1288, it once served as Frankfurt's city hall. The middle building is referred to as "Römer", and the "Kaisersaal" is situated on its second floor. Holding life-size portraits of 52 emperors, and once housed the coronation banquets of the Holy Roman Empire.
In 1944, the Römerberg plaza and the town hall were demolished by bombings, and were repaired after the war.
In WW3 the building was razed to the ground, the paintings inside destroyed. In order to restore the city's appearance, the main building has been restored, but the interiors are yet to be furnished due to budget constraints.
With every opening of the city's Christmas markets, the building's outer walls are decorated with holiday ornaments.
Wiesbaden District
- Wiesbaden District
Once a famous spa town nicknamed “The Nice of Northern Europe”, Wiesbaden was famous for its rich geothermal resources and boasted 15 hot springs and mineral baths, making it a popular resort destination since the 19th century.
During WWII, Wiesbaden was spared heavy destruction, but in WWIII, relentless bombings reduced the town and its medieval architecture to ruins.
After the war, Frankfurt’s authorities rebuilt it as a modern metropolis, moving many governmental departments from their original sites in the Frankfurt District to the embankments in the Wiesbaden District, so as to “preserve Frankfurt’s historical charm and shape Wiesbaden with modern elegance”.
Today, Wiesbaden’ s skyscrapers and economic prosperity have earned it the title "the Right Atrium in the Heart of Democracy."
- Quarantine Wall
Located to the east of the Wiesbaden District, this 2.5 km-long, 2 km-wide structure features air purification systems and 12 checkpoints manned by the Volkspolizei Tactical Unit.
The wall houses the government’s administrative headquarters, making it the least contaminated, most secure and heavily monitored area in Frankfurt.
- Fernsehen und Rundfunk der DDR
Formed from the merger of the former Rundfunk der DDR (Democratic Germany Radio) and Fernsehen der DDR (Democratic Germany Television).
The Fernsehen und Rundfunk der DDR operates six channels: two national channels—DDR1 and DDR2; four regional channels—Frankfurt TV, Weimar TV, Cologne TV, and Munich TV.
Weimar TV broadcasts multilingual international films, TV series, and documentaries via subscription, while the other channels offer mostly free programming.
DDR1, headquartered in Berlin, is often called "Berlin TV".
DDR2, based in Frankfurt’ s Mainz District, is the largest TV station in the country.
- Halloween Carnival Night
On October 31, 2051, Frankfurt celebrated its first harvest festival since the war ended, marking the return of full grain stores. The city hosted a grand Halloween Carnival, where citizens dressed in elaborate costumes for masquerades and parties. Children paraded through the streets, laughing and collecting sweets from adults, while pumpkin carving contests and festive markets lined the streets.
For the first time in years, the people of Frankfurt tasted both abundance and peace.
- No. 2 Nursing Home
Located within the Quarantine Wall and built around a natural hot spring, this exclusive facility sits at 2 St.-Paul-Straße, a prime location covering nine hectares. Officially named the "Sanatorium," it is often referred to as "Sanatorium No. 2" due to the many similar institutions in Frankfurt.
Access is strictly controlled, with soldiers standing guard 24/7.
Inside, a professional team of medical staff, chefs, and wellness specialists cater exclusively to the wealthy and elite.
For Frankfurt’s citizens, this place remains shrouded in mystery, with little known about what happens beyond its gates.
- Doll Safety Regulations
Based on earlier documents including the "Interim Regulations for Doll Security" and the "Regulations for Doll Security (Trial Version)", this law aims to regulate the safety and scope of Doll deployment, establish long-term oversight mechanisms, and clarify data collection, review, management, and protection. It is designed to mitigate risks and eliminate potential safety hazards involving Dolls.
The regulations consists of 182 articles in 12 chapters. Compared to the trial version, major updates include:
- Revised the definition scope of "unauthorized modification" for non-certified individuals or groups;
- Expanded the "Doll exclusion zones" in Frankfurt and Berlin;
- Removed some restrictions on medical Doll applications and models, while adding specific regulations on medical data supervision to ensure human safety and prevent misuse;
- Introduced new restrictions on general-service Dolls used in homes and businesses, enforced stricter updates to safety protocols, and mandated that these Dolls remain under surveillance, may not offer unauthorized services, and are barred from participating in criminal activity. Their service data will be monitored by oversight departments using an early warning system;
- Further clarified the scope, deployment zones, identification, safety monitoring, audit requirements, and loss reporting of Tactical Dolls. Strict limitations are placed on private citizens possessing such units, with exceptions granted only by law, and any non-declared use by organizations is strictly prohibited.
- Guildhall
Historically located in Römeberg, the Guildhall was relocated to the Wiesbaden District after WWIII during the GDR's capital area reorganization.
Mayor Friedrich Groß stated that the old town's reconstruction would take time and the government could not operate among ruins. He opted not for the historical Altes Rathaus in Wiesbaden, but instead chose a newly completed eight-story building with superior transportation access.
- Evangel Portal
First appeared in the Eastern European Yellow Zone in 203█. The founder is unknown, recorded only by the codename "William". The cult preaches that the Holy Spirit will descend to save humanity from the suffering of Collapse radiation.
According to its doctrine, the human body is merely a vessel for suffering and bondage. Only through devout faith, abandonment of material and emotional burdens, and following the Holy Spirit through the "Evangel Portal" can one reach the Sacred Land beyond worldly existence.
Since the Beilan Island Incident, countless cults have emerged across the Yellow Zone. Among them, Evangel Portal survives by avoiding violence and instead focusing on wealth accumulation.
In █ 204█, the cult declared it had found the "Holy Mother" and "Holy Maiden", who would lead the faithful against darkness and evil. Their supposed miracles led to a rapid expansion of the cult's influence.
That same year, violent incidents broke out frequently within the Yellow Zone, prompting military and police crackdowns. In a later raid, the "Holy Mother" and "Holy Maiden" disappeared, and the cult rapidly declined.

- Frankfurt 2nd Guard Regiment
A nominal "regiment" with a real strength of 7,000 troops, serving as Frankfurt's garrison force under the Nationale Volksarmee.
During WWIII, it expanded to 16,000 personnel to meet wartime demands. After the war, troop reductions were carried out per international agreements, halving the garrison's size in two waves.
The ceremonial units were then separated into the First Guard Regiment, while the remaining forces formed the Second Guard Regiment responsible for capital defense.
Over the years, the unit has gradually grown back to 7,000 personnel and currently includes six infantry battalions, three training battalions, one artillery battalion, and several engineering, support, medical, and reconnaissance companies.
- Socialist Unity Party of Germany
The ruling party of the German Democratic Republic and the largest in the Volkskammer, holding 40% of the seats.

Today, the only surviving part is a five-story residential tower, which still houses 14th-century frescoes and lintels. The rest remains in ruins.
Eltville is now famed for its high-quality sparkling wine.
- Stasi Office Building
The headquarters of Democratic Germany's StateSec department, referred to as the Stasi Building, is located in the Eastern area of the Wiesbaden Zone. It lies inside the Quarantine Wall, next to Sanatorium No. 2.
A work of realist architecture, this grey building is designed for practicality with few decorative aspects, save for a lone Stasi flag of normal proportions atop its roof.
The Stasi is divided into four primary and five secondary departments, and their delegation of duties is as follows.
The Director, Romy Riefenstahl, oversees all work, and is directly responsible for the following departments—Clandestine Operations, the Director Secretariat and Directorate (for protection and mobilization), Intel Analysis and Review, Department 2 (Anti-Espionage), Department 9 (Central Criminal Investigation), Department 14 (Penitentiary and Incarceration Management), Department 12 (Information & Archives), Department 13 (Information Processing), Department M (Mail Inspection), the guard detail, Operative Training, Security, Finance, medical center, and Legal Support Office.

Mainz District
- Mainz District
Situated at the confluence of the Rhine and the Main, Mainz dates back to 39 BCE, originally a Roman military camp.
The region’s ideal geographical location and fertile land made it one of Democratic Germany’s premier wine-producing areas.
However, in 2044, with rising global tensions, the vineyards were repurposed for staple crops like wheat, barley, and potatoes. Soilless cultivation was widely adopted.
During WWIII, enemy bombings targeted Mainz’s grain storage facilities and flood defenses along the Rhine, causing a severe food crisis in the capital.
Today, Mainz remains Frankfurt’s most crucial agricultural hub.
- Children's Hospital of Mainz
Founded in 2053, the Children’s Hospital of Mainz is a world-renowned hospital specializing in pediatric care.
Led by director Frau Hanna Rüef, its team of experienced pediatricians, nurses, and professional staff are committed to offering comprehensive medical care with a strong emphasis on psychological support for both children and their families.
- Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz
One of Germany's most prestigious universities, formally named Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz after the father of the European printing revolution. Founded in 1477, it has a long history and includes 15 faculties such as Medicine, Law, Physics, and Biology.
It has the authority to award doctoral degrees and is internationally renowned in physics, medicine, and neuroscience.
- Universitätsmedizin Mainz
Officially affiliated with the University of Mainz Medical School, it is the second-largest public hospital in Frankfurt.
The hospital has 1,400 beds and cutting-edge diagnostic equipment, with 25 departments and 6 research institutes. It treats over 500,000 inpatients and outpatients annually.
It is especially renowned in neuroscience, immunology, and virology.
- Power Station
The Meinz[sic] Power Station, full name Meinz[sic] Power Grid-Side Stand-Alone Pattery Storage Station, is situated in the southern side of Meinz[sic]. With an area of 68,000 square meters and composed of 96 lithium iron phosphate energy storage systems, independently accessed. Each compartment is capable of providing 300MW/600MWh, delivering 460 million kilowatts of clean electricity each year to Frankfurt.
At times of low electricity consumption, the Meinz[sic] Power Station gathers a reserve of energy via hydroelectricity, bioelectricity, solar power, and other clean sources of energy. This stored electricity is transferred into the city at peak usage, making it an important junction in maintaining the electric ecosystem of Frankfurt.
- Gutenberg Square
A square in Meinz[sic], named after Johannes Gutenberg, an inventor remembered for his work on the printing press.
Born in 1398 in Meinz[sic], Gutenberg worked as a craftsman of mirrors and jewelry in his younger years, and came to think about the improvement of printing as a result. He created casting methods for special alloys in the form of letters and printed the notable Gutenberg Bible in 1455. The mass-production of books in Europe began thus.
Gutenberg passed away in 1468, but his printing technology had proliferated, beginning the spread of knowledge across Europe. The cultural renaissance of Europe led the way in the evolution of civilization.
WW3 left the square with several craters, the marks of which are still visible today.
Offenbach District
- Offenbach District
Located in the southeastern part of the old Frankfurt District, on the southern bank of the Main, this area sustained relatively minor damage during WWIII. As a result, a mix of old and new buildings coexists, with predominantly low-rise residential homes, preserving the look and feel of the early 21st century.
The district has a strong and tight-knit local community and is home to the largest working-class population in Frankfurt.
- New Port
Originally an ordinary logistics port, it was rebuilt and expanded after WWIII and renamed "New Port".
Located in the middle reaches of the Main, near Bundesautobahn 661 and Offenbach's high-tech industrial park, the port includes 121,000 m² of water area, 230,000 m² of land area, and 118,000 m² of freight yards. Basic operations are carried out by specialized Dolls and machinery.
Due to the "Interim Regulations for Doll Security", Dolls were required to halt work pending registration and review, causing severe backlogs.
The port company had to offer high wages to attract enough temporary workers to maintain operations.
The Star Chronicle criticized the port for betraying its commitment to full automation, but the port's general manager, Claude Menthe, defended the move as a necessary, temporary measure, station: "After all, sausages and toilet paper can't teleport from the factory to the supermarket shelves."
Eschborn District
- Eschborn District
Located in Frankfurt’s northern rural area, Eschborn was a major military and agricultural hub before WWIII.
It suffered heavy bombing during the war, with over 80% of its buildings destroyed.
Even today, the Eschborn District struggles to recover. Abandoned factories dot its outskirts, while farmlands—though rehabilitated—remain underutilized for a multitude of reasons. The district now serves as a refuge for newcomers to Frankfurt, who, with no better prospects, decide to settle in the area and find work in farming and industrial processing.
The district is much less prosperous than the city proper with its relatively low building density and height, and most residents live along the transit railway lines and highways.
- Old Industrial Park
The industrial park was established in 2036, attracting numerous well-known enterprises. During WWIII, it suffered devastating destruction due to bombings.
In 2050, due to shifting geopolitical circumstances, the Frankfurt authorities restructured the city’s layout, relocating most businesses to surrounding areas.
By 2055, the land within the industrial park had been cleared and leveled, and a new round of bidding was opened, with companies such as the Galatea Corporation participating.
In 2058, a major industrial accident occurred—a Doll malfunction led to a boiler explosion, affecting a two-kilometer radius.
By 2059, only 11 companies remained in the industrial park.
- The Box of Iaso
According to news reports, an Iaso's Box is a spherical object that emits a faint blue glow. Upon detonation, it causes massive physical damage and releases a cloud of pale yellow pollen laced with Collapse radiation, dramatically spiking pollution levels in the area and inflicting secondary harm on nearby humans.
Since June 2064, Berlin has seen multiple bombing attacks involving this pollen.
The German National Academy of Sciences, Berlin University's Pollution Control Center, and the University of Mainz's Environmental Simulation and Contamination Control Lab are all researching this phenomenon.
- Arctic Ocean 1
Arctic Ocean pipeline 1 was a major artery of European oil, transporting petroleum excavated from the seabed of the arctic ocean to various countries. Now repaired after WW3, it has become one of a few energy lifelines for many countries, playing a pivotal role in post-war reconstruction efforts.
- Substation
The Artem Substation, situated on 21 Artem Road on the border between the Eschborn and Frankfurt districts.
Raunheim District
- Raunheim District
Located on the southern bank of the Main, Raunheim saw rapid post-war development due to its strategic location. Once farmland, it is now home to high-rise buildings and major corporations relocated from old Frankfurt.
With countless enterprises along the Main, thriving finance and trade, and its proximity to Frankfurt International Airport and Darmstadt, the Raunheim District has become a logistical powerhouse, second only to the Wiesbaden District in economic scale, earning it the title “the Right Ventricle of Frankfurt”.
- Peninsula Garden Hotel
Originally built in 2038 with the investment of Galatea Real Estate Company, the Peninsula Garden Hotel was completed in 2040.
Destroyed in WWIII and rebuilt in 2051, this 15-storey luxury hotel boasts over 300 rooms, four banquet halls, and three multimedia conference halls, giving it the capacity for hosting large-scale events.
The hotel’s spectacular view overlooking the confluence of the Rhine and the Main makes it one of Frankfurt’s most famous high-end hotels.
- Airport Garden
A private luxury mansion in the Raunheim District, adjacent to Peninsula Garden Hotel and backing onto the Main.
The first owner planted exotic flora year-round, and legend says it was designed by Erasmus Schulte, the GDR's most famous landscape architect.
Now one of the most beautiful and expensive mansions in the country, Airport Garden has changed hands several times, and the identity of the current owner remains a mystery.
- Europaturm
Formerly a landmark of Frankfurt, Europaturm stands more than 300 meters tall and was constructed in 1974? It was capable of launching high-quality digital television signals, and contained a hotel and restaurant. A tourist could look across the entirety of Frankfurt upon Europaturm, but it was closed to the outside in 1999.
Europaturm was damaged beyond repair in WW3. Due to safety considerations, a new signal tower was erected in southern Raunheim with the same name. It remains closed to the outside.
Before the new tower's construction in 2052, Democratic Germany's citizens were unable to view television programs from the Frankfurt or DDR2 channels at all.
Neu-Isenburg
- Neu-Isenburg
The GDR's largest hub for electronics and AI development, with an industrial park dominated by Doll and smart machine operations.
Human employees are rare, making the district the least densely populated in Frankfurt.
Due to stringent safety requirements, Dolls must undergo thorough registration and regular inspections from the outset. When the "Interim Regulations for Doll Safety" was enacted, companies in this district were the first to comply, requesting only that the process minimally disrupt production.
- Ruins of the Zeppelin Museum
Built in 2032 at 56 Keisterstraße, Neu-Isenburg District, the museum was a non-profit institution showcasing airship history, with scale models and a 40-meter replica of the LZ129 Hindenburg, attracting tens of thousands of visitors annually, including students and citizens.
The museum was destroyed during WWIII and was never rebuilt.
Now a field of ruins, it stands as a site of remembrance.
Airport
- Frankfurt Airport
First constructed in 1908, the airport underwent multiple expansions and was rebuilt in 2051.
By 2063, it was Europe's second-largest passenger and cargo airport, operating 85 flight routes, with a passenger throughput of 58.41 million (year-on-year up 0.5%) and cargo cargo/mail throughput of 25.35 million tons (year-on-year up 1.2%). According to a 2062 tabloid survey, some netizens believe the airport was a major factor in the GDR's decision to move the capital.

2.1.1 Schweinsteiger's Assassination
Top Secret document, access permission ■■■■
On 20th October, Heinrich Schweinsteiger arrived in Frankfurt.
On 22nd October, Heinrich Schweinsteiger took residence at a holidaying estate in northern Wiesbaden. He was involved in a vehicular accident while out on a walk, and died on the scene.
The Frankfurt garrison regiment Captain Giovanna Caum cleared the scene and removed Schweinsteiger's body.
The vehicle involved in the accident has been located and confirmed to be the vehicle that hit Schweinsteiger. However, this vehicle formerly belonged to a citizen of Frankfurt that passed away in September due to an illness.
The dashcam within the vehicle was irreparably destroyed along with its stored data.
In combination with the vehicular data provided by the manufacturer and traffic CCTV, it was confirmed that the vehicle was in self-driving mode at the time of the incident.
On 16th November, after Frankfurt was attacked by an unknown force, Caum retrieved Schweinsteiger's body and placed it in a private residence in Wiesbaden. He forged a death scene, placing various pedestals and sacrificial items used by a cult.

4.4.5 Sanitary Department Request to Reduce Collapse Actinobiology Department Size
...
In September 2064, the Sanitary department Director, Merckx Yung signed a resolution to reduce the size of Collapse actinobiology departments in public hospitals across Frankfurt. The document claimed that "The number of Collapse radiation patients in Green Zones decreases each year, and the actinobiology departments of various hospitals sit empty, wasting hospital resources as the proficiency of specialists slowly decreases."
In truth, the number of Collapse radiation patients worldwide only grows larger, especially in Yellow Zones. According to incomplete censuses, the number of patients in Yellow Zones in 2063 is 37% higher than in 2062.
The Green Zones have rigorous access requirements, however, and most patients in the Yellow Zones do not have the necessary conditions to enter the Green Zones, and the tremendous cost of treatment dissuades many more.
...
15th October 2064, Director Yung visited two public hospitals in Frankfurt, commending their efforts in actively diminishing their Collapse actinobiology departments. Many major hospitals soon followed suit. This procedure caused many of those wounded by Iaso's Box during this instance of Crowning Storm to fail to be treated in a timely manner.

4.7.13 Further on the "Doll Safety Statute"
...
The unregistered outlaw Doll Dandelion kidnapped G&K's Commander, charging into a White Zone in a tank. Evidence shows that the Commander attempted to stop Dandelion, and the tank exploded in the process. The explosion shattered Dandelion's body, and the Commander's whereabouts are unknown. Because of the Doll's lack of registration, there is no backend data to access, and Dandelion's core was physically destroyed, causing the data to be irretrievable and making the investigation process difficult...
...
The Defense Ministry's spokesperson stated that "The Doll safety problem demands immediate action. Registration and censuses must be conducted immediately." G&K's executive who received the Gold Award by proxy, Kryuger, stated "As safety contractors, we are fully in support of the government's passing of relevant legislation. Dolls should ensure the safety of humans, not vice versa. This tragedy should never have come to pass."

...During the award ceremony in Frankfurt, an unregistered T-Doll (wearing a black eyepatch on the right eye, with a scar on the face [Image]) assaulted Ballard von Oberstein, a recipient of the iron cross with bare hands, causing a comminuted fracture of the middle humerus in the left upper arm, partial muscle and tendon ruptures, and the loss of limb function.
...
The newly-appointed Minister of Technology Jonas Weber stated at a hearing that with various perspectives taken into account, the Doll Safety Statute would be moving forward, with the registration and management of Dolls as a "very important task for the Department of Technology in 2065". He continued, "This is the responsible thing to do for the safety of humanity and society, lest a tragedy like Mr. Oberstein's incident happen again. He sacrificed much for Frankfurt, yet he is maliciously attacked by a Doll of unknown origins..."
