In the ghettos of Persepolis:

In one of three mosques within Persepolis, hundreds of urban poor listened to the ranting of the Pushtun mullah. “It is the will of Allah to destroy the nation of Parthia and convert them to Islam upon the point of the sword! The Shah and his court are all Zoroastrian daemons! I hereby call for a Jihad against the nation of Parthia! All true Muslims must destroy these daemonic peoples and force them to accept Islam. Go now my brothers and destroy the government!” The congregation poured out of the doors of the mosque and into the winding and dirty streets. A horde began to form as the urban poor poured out of their shanties, which often held a family in an 8x8 room. The horde of Hazara, Pushtuns, Arabs, and Pakistanis was chanting, “Death to the Shah, Death to Parthia, Glory to Allah.” Muslim fanatics stormed the homes of the Christians in the ghetto and butchered them, then burning their shanties. From the high rise condos of downtown Persepolis, the flames could be seen by the worried wealthy and middle class citizens. There were significant differences between the bourgeois and elites and the poor of Parthia. While the poor were Islamic Hazara, Pakistanis, Afghans, or Arabs; the rich and middle classes were Zoroastrian Persians, Medes, Azeris, or Kurds. Each of the higher Non-Islamic groups was required to breed only within their own ethnic groups, making the middle and upper classes racially pure, unlike the destitute.

The hordes soon reached the purity barrier, a concrete fence topped with barbed wire and on the other side a 50 meter wide minefield and guard towers on the end of that marked the ends of the ghetto and the beginning of the Industrial parks. The purity barrier helped keep crime low by preventing the poor from crossing into the other areas without a work permit, issued by an employer. A work permit allowed the urban poor to leave the ghetto for a certain period of time during each day. If the worker had not returned to the ghetto by sundown, he would be arrested and placed in jail for a month. Now, the purity barrier would keep the proletariat from destroying the civilized areas of Parthia.

The poor could not legally own weapons of any sort, but many were brandishing AK-47s and other weapons, a few were carrying blocks of C-4. These demolition experts ran up to the concrete wall and affixed their C-4 before running off and detonating them. As the initial barrier fell down, the crowds prepared to push through the gap and get to the areas beyond. However, few realized the Parthian military garrison was mobilized and prepared to fight right outside the minefields.

To: The Shah
From: President J.L.

Would you like me to deploy troops to help you quell these riots and restore order?

That would be excellent, especially since SAVAK agents have found from "interrogated" people that other revolts may happen in other cities.

-Regards, Shah Khosru III

Please send them to Persepolis, we will need reinforcements there.

As the walls collapsed a wave of suicide bombers ran through the gap and began to randomly detonate themselves in the minefields. Many mines were destroyed by the time the .50 caliber mahineguns on the riot control vehicles opened up on the remainder, cutting them down. In the distance a popping of a firing mortar was heard. The shells soon came crashing down on the factories behind the soldiers and on their heads. It was a minor barrage, ten rounds at most, but many soldiers were dead. Then, with the chant of "Allah Ackbar!" hundreds of Muslim fanatics with rifles in hand charged out of the ghettos and into the minefields. Their ranks parted as a car passed. The SUV picked up speed and hit a riot control vehicle, destroying it with the C-4 stashed inside. The fanatics advanced even quicker now, throwing molotovs while the soldiers emptied their XM-8s and M-249s at the advancing terrorists. Suddenly, a RPG tore into a 30mm gun turret on the Parthian side, migitating the fire against the advancing hordes. Through the exploding mines, more advanced, for every Jihadi killed, ten took his place.

We have yet to gather our bearings, but you need help. With your permission we will deploy the 3rd Marine force to the capital.

We have yet to gather our bearings, but you need help. With your permission we will deploy the 3rd Marine force to the capital.

Permission granted, we have about 1500 soldiers fighting a horde of 100,000 or more!

The 3rd Marine force is too large. Its 1,000,000 including logistics. If you want that say so. Otherwise we will send half of the 3rd marine army.

The transport planes touched down outside the capitol and discharged there troops. Squads from the Cymry Brigade loaded onto the Harpies while the rest of the Brigade and the Gweneddi Legion set out on foot to the loyalist held part of the city. 30 Furies flew on ahead to scout the battle. What they found was chaos. The Loyalists were on the verge of being overrun. Myrddin MacAndrews radioed the Parthian High Command, "This is Myrddin MacAndrews, commander of 3rd Air Cavalry Sqaudron. I am requesting permission to open fire on the assailents. We will try to avoid collateral damage but I can't make any promises."

The Cymry Brigade stopped outside the city to plan the best route of entry while the Gweneddi Legion legged it to the battle. The SpecOps troopers in the Harpies fast roped onto roof tops near the battle to set up light machine gun lanes of fire and sniper positions. Others roped in on the far side of the city, hoping to draw some of the pressure off of the main fight. Anyone with an RPG became a prime target for snipers.

"Open fire, kill anything... you have our full permission!!!!"

The Parthian units began to empty their 25mm autocannons at the advancing troops, killing thousands with the exploding grenades while Parthian fire and mines removed others.

The Furies formed up as the hovered over the Parthian defenders. Then, as one, they swept down the street and opened up with .50 chainguns. The pumped hellfire rockets into any vehicle but for the most part the chainguns did the work.

The men poured off teh planes and began to take positions with loyalist soldiers.

Tanks and XM8 bullets began to stem the flow of rebels.

OOC:Busy

Meh, we don't really care for either side...

Fyodor Leningrad Zyteslav
Prime Minister of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Hattia

Parthian forces were now reinforced, once on the point of breaking they now stood strong in the face of the fanatics. Civilians were coming up to the lines with their weapons now, privatley owned M1 tanks opened fire with their 120mm cannons and blew the terrorists into burning chunks. Slowly the hordes were turning tail and running back into the ghettos. In the air above, Parthian A-10s shredded the proletariat with special HE vulcan cannon ammo while others cut off their escape by dropping napalm, making a towering line of infernos as a barrier to the fleeing enemies.

The Gweneddi Legion now came up in time to join the persuit of the routed rebels. The Furies followed close on the heels of the retreating enemy, pouring fire into them until they were broken beyond repair. Only then did they cease fire. They rose to a higher altidude from which they could keep an eye on the retreat.

With the flip of a switch in Persepolis palace and a quick typing of a code the mines in the area were deactivated. Parthian Bradley IFVs soon were pouring in to cut the retreating horde into mincemeat.

General Caedmon Bedwyr arrived in the city and headed for the palace to meet with the Parthian leadership. He wired a message ahead requesting an audience. "This is General Caedmon Bedwyr, commander of the Yr Widdfae forces. I would like to request and audience to discuss the current situation."

THe Borman forces were rigth alongside Parthian forces in driving the evl back into the ghettos.

Permission granted.
OOC: The Palace of Persepolis is about 3.5 miles outside the city in the mountains.

General Bedwyr arrived at the palace by helecopter later that day. He waited in the lobby until shown into the Shah's (office? audience chamber?). He bowed out of respect then saluted. "Sir, I'm General Caedmon Bedwyr. It's an honor to meet you. I'll get to the point. Do you expect any more uprisings? And where are the danger spots?"

The last few rioters had been captured or killed. Trucks were loaded to the brim with the prisoners being transported to the notorious Persepolis Prison. The first batch had arrived there within a few minutes after the end of the fighting. The 530 in the first batch were divided up into groups of 100 and each group being crammed into a 15x10 cell with no light entering whatsoever. Those who could not fit in after the cell was packed were each stuffed in a cell the size of a coffin. Every now and then, the guards would electrify random walls in the 15x10s and laugh as the screams of those who could not get away from the walls in the cramped cells and slowly fired to death. Every so often the guards would let them out, perhaps once every two days to give them gruel and water before giving a few a massive torture session. Four captured Mullahs were locked in Iron Maiden like devices, but lacking the spikes inside. The Mullahs continuedto scream while SAVAK agents waited outside sipping cogniac and laughing.

Fellow RWC member Zarbia is concerned with the incident in Parthia and hopes that the conflict is resolved. If any further assistance is necessary, please let us know.

"Our interrogations have shown that uprisings may occur in Tabriz, Tehran, Bandar-Abbas, and Abadan. Reinforcements there may prevent uprisings."

We'd be happy to send a Negotiation Team to help restore order.

Our concern over Parthia's riot has grown, and we would like to help.

With Parthian consent, 500 elite riot troopers will be flown in to assist with the situation.

People are shocked at the treatment of the rebels. Even I don't believe in such treatnment. We demand that the rebels be treated nicer or we will have to step in.

We are prepared to deploy an armored division to crush the rebellion if you wish. Besides, we feel like testing some of our new toys.

We can treat our citizens the way we want, if you want to torture yours to death then feel free, I'm not going to object.

-Foreign Minister Piruz Savhadkohi.

We gladly accept the assistance of Zarbia, Doomingsland, and Roach Busters. Please send forces to assist in quelling this disloyalty movement springing up in my nation.

-Shah Khosru III

OOC: That sounds good Green, I'll be on MSN at about 5:00 central to discuss anything necessary.

OOC:Well, now I've got about six divisions heading toward you to pwn Hataria, but I'll save one for crushing riots.

The Doomingslandian forces arrived, and began heading toward troubled spots. Due to the fact that non-lethal weapons weren't required, all of the fancy riot tanks were left at home, and replaced with the flamethrower varient of the M11 Legionarie IFV.

OOC:You can RP rioters trying to attack.

We shall re-deploy our men to Tabriz and Tahran so as to decrease the chance of a rebellion or riot.

The riot was now contained in the Ghetto, but nevertheless it was necessary to root out the corruption rotting the area, and soldiers were marching inside to do just that.

Official Imperial Response:

Meh

OOC: I have always wanted to say that

Zarbia has sent 500 elite riot troops to assist with the Parthian riot. They will arrive in Persepolis in approximately two hours.

Your planes will be shot out of the sky

OOC: He's on our side.

IC: From the parking lot three pickup trucks were sitting along the gravel road with a chain on the bumper. From the prison, three women were walking forward in chains before a magistrate came up to them.

"For your crimes, you are sentinced to be executed by dragging."

The chains were wrapped around the womens' chests and then locked up with a padlock. The cars then began to pick up speed, dragging the women behind them. Painfully, their flesh of their backs were rended off as the cars picked up speed. They screamed and screamed as the blood left a trail along the street. Five miles later, the cars stopped and the drivers came out to slit the throats of the women who were still alive.

Parthian Slums

An M11 Flamethrower vehicle lead a convoy of HMMWVs and infantry, marching through the slums, hunting for dissenters. An angry mob began to form in front of the convoy, and soon they surged forward, nearly engulfing the lead vehicle. The men opened fire with their XM8s, and remote .50 cals on the HMMWVs. Suddenly, the crowd was engulfed in a stream of flame, and attempted to flee. At that moment, the vehicles floored it, and ran down the fleeing mob. When the last of them had been put down, men piled out of the vehicles, and put a bullet through the head of anyone still alive. The bodies were then piled up, and incinerated by the flame tank.

"Report this to the local Parthian units, I'm sure they'll be happy," muttered the unit commander, Col. Anton Fisher, to his first sergeant.

"Shame, sir. They could have been converted."

"Oh, well, better them than us."

"Agreed."

Your planes will be shot out of the sky

First of all, I'm on your side.

Secondly, if you did, I would own you.

First of all, sorry. YOU worded it so that it appeared your men were going to help [fight] with the revolution. I merely thought you had skipped the fight as it was not needed.

Secondly, no you wouldn't. If we went to war there is a 99% chance you would come out as an imperial province.

A courier ran into Persepolis palace with the news.

The Shah read the report with glee. "Give the Doominglanders each a medal of valor" he said with happiness.

A division of Immortals began to blow into the ghetto with XM-8s and scimitars at the ready. Before them, crowds of women and children fled. In the northwest quadrant of the fenced ghetto a squad of Immortals saw fleeing women and children running in terror. The heavy support soldiers pulled out their SAWs and began to spray the fleeing poor until all were dead.

A small force of Borman soldiers were traveling through a relativly safe area. Or so they thought.

Poor instantly fled out and began to attack. But the advanced BMTs and CaDs quickly destroyed most of them.

Many fled into what they thought a safe area, but the main Borman force caught them there.

Hundreds, if not thousands, have been captured. These will be turned over to The Parthians for execution.

A flight of 3 A-10s flew over the ghetto mosque with a full load of napalm under thier wings. With a press of a switch the napalm fell to the earth and began to burn the wood and tar structure.

"Where should we bring these prisoners?"

"Where should we bring these prisoners?"

Please do, our people need a bloody execution to watch.

"Ummm....We said WHERE. But oh well."

A plane dropped off roughly 2,000 prisoners to the capitol.

Several soldiers statyed to see what would happen to them.

300 of the prisoners were marched into a pen in the central square of Persepolis, the others were taken to Persepolis prison. Those being taken to Persepolis prison were to be locked in groups of 100 in 10x15 foot cells or to be locked in coffin sized cells. For the 300, a massive execution stage sat above the throng of people and ticket sellers were peddling their balconies overlooking the square for 50 dollars a seat. First, they brought out 20 children. The children were each tied to a stake, covered in pigs lard and burned while the crowd cheered. 10 random people were then slowly impaled by shoving a stake up their anus and forcing it out of their shoulderblade.

The crowds cheered as the next group was brought out for execution.

"Yeah."

The peoples who had taken part in the shark incident at the docks were now spending some of their money on watching the executions.

"Yeah, go officer 131. You beat that rebel bastard!"

A woman was led out on stage by a chain and a collar upon her neck. The executioners removed the collar and began to tied her upon a wheel. One of the hooded wraithlike executioners brought forth a sledgehammer and showed it to the crowds before slamming it into the woman's hand. The woman screamed in agony as another executioner slammed a sledgehammer into her foot. Slowly, her limbs were crushed until they brought forth a knife and slit her throat.

The crowd begins to cheer and shout.

"Ju-ustice! Ju--stice! Ju-stice! Ju-stice! Justice! Justice!"

Yup, thats the intent.

As the blood gushed off the stage from the final few beheadings, many people in the crowds began to cheer wildly. Everyone was highly pleased as the blood of the trators covered the stage and fell like a waterfall to the pavement below.

The Bormans stood up chering. SOme of them knocked their beers over which opned up a hood on a woman. A traitor women.

"Get her!"
