*Encrypted Satellite Message to All Nations With Information*

Date: July 9th, 2003
To: NATO Members, Nations Friendly to Ruhr
From: The Ministry of Ruhr
Subject: Recent Events in Ruhr

Friends and Allies of Ruhr,

During the last few weeks, a series of events have caused us to seek the help of our fellow sovereigns. We have tried to keep these incidents as quiet as possible. However, due to a growing public notice of increased security and military readiness, it is time to address the matter.

Here is a brief summarization of what has happened in and around the Ruhrian Empire’s territory:

07:10 AM June 1st, 2003: Hackers successfully broke into four companies bank accounts, and stole 2.3 Billion Dollars US. After numerous attempts to trace the accounts and hunt down suspects both in and outside of Ruhr, the RBI (Ruhrian Bureau of Investigation) has given up. Forex Coal Mining, Inc.; YNG Technologies; Waltham Transportation; Hamilton Design Corp. are the companies that have all gone under due to the hacking. The Government paid the employees salaries for two years, and has provided healthcare and other benefits for them. No further information of the Hackers are known.

02:34 AM June 5th, 2003: Armed with M16s and various forms of small weaponry like Desert Eagle pistols, 25 terrorists broke into the Ruhrian Isles Colony National Guard Field Headquarters and released several terrorists such as Kin Wai, a top agent of the Chinese Liberation Army. They also stole documents of the security patrols of the Ruhrian Fleets, and course maps for shipping lines for the next three months. 18 people were killed, and 24 wounded. Two terrorists died, but their bodies are unrecognizable due to the shell fragments of grenades.

03:45 PM June 17th, 2003: Three men in a small boat broke into Stuttgart Naval Compound. All wearing dark camouflage, the security cameras on the island could not pick up their faces no mater the resolution. Unfortunately, the arrival was not noticed on camera until 4:12 PM when an explosive destroyed a Land-Based Aegis Radar Combat System. This island is located at: 15*S 168*W, and is one of the main radar outposts for the Ruhrian Armed Forces. This is also the location of Ruhrian Anti-Sat Command, and it holds 5 of the 20 B1B Lancers out-rigged for Anti-ICBM/Nuclear Weapon Combat. This base was secret, and it was not thought any outside organization would know about it. However the terrorists managed to take information on radar schematics and locations for the entire Ruhrian Empire. The terrorists got out of the base at 4:13 PM, a minute after the general alarm.

08:47 AM June 28th, 2003: Ryan’s Voyage went missing. It was a supply ship carrying weapons, humanitarian aid, medical supplies, and miscellaneous items heading to the United States. Due to heavy cloud cover, both thermal imaging and regular satellite photography were unable to locate the ship. Radar searches and Coast Guard spotters were unable to locate the missing freighter.

11:12 AM July 3rd, 2003: The Freighter was located, and wrecked off of Danger Island (A RL island belonging to New Zealand). Forensic Teams have suspected the following occurred: The superstructure was destroyed, and everything onboard was taken off. The ship was hit with several missiles, and there is a large rupture in the port hull from a torpedo hit. An artillery hit has torn the fore of the ship to pieces. but only after being boarded by unknown terrorists. They killed all onboard and threw them in the ship galley, which they locked. They took off all the containers, and loaded them onto another ship (still unidentified and missing). Blood was found all over the ship, and bullet holes pegging the walls throughout.

These events have caused great concern in all departments of the Ruhrian government. We have only come to you now for help, because we cannot get any farther. There are no motives, no traces of these criminals, and we are clueless.

We ask you humbly for your help. We fear that Ruhr is in Grave Danger. More lives are at risk. NATO members, and other allies, we invite you to help us in this investigation.

Sincerely,
The Ruhrian Empire

*End Transmition*

Daezeman will mobilise a troop of medics at your command.

May the Alliance always be solvent.

--- Icarus and Ariyanna White

Thank you Daezemen,

However, we do not know a course of action because we do not know who, what, and why.

Right. Might we recommend you use Mike variant 16, Information Gatherer. Call him Gregg.

We can deploy some submarines to your general area if it helps.

Department of Defense

Oglethorpia, since the Ruhrian Navy alone has 58 SSNs, I think we will be fine. However, what we need is information.


OOC: However since no one really cares to RP anymore, this might take a while to get this thread moving. I need the NATO members to read it.

Brittanian Military Vessel Valencia , 0100 Hours, Somewhere in the S.W. Pacific...

Rufus yawned slightly as he shook his head, struggling to wake himself fully. Taking a glance at the giant Radar screens that filled the COMMunication room, and noting that nothing remarkable flashed on their surfaces, he allowed his head to drop off again.

"REPORT!" came the bellow from the doorway. Rufus promptly jumped to his feet, his ears still ringing from the throaty roar.

"Nothing to report Sir! no contacts or blips!"

"CARRY ON!" came the 120 Decibel reply, as his superior turned and strutted down the corridor.

"lousy bumbling..." began Rufus.

He was interrupted with a soft beep, that permeated the room. His attention immediatley switched to the Starboard Radar Array. Noting it for a second he grabbed the Radio Transmission mike:

"Comm to Bridge, contact at *345 *423, its looking like a ship of some kind, small....I can't get anything more at this distance..."

"Acknowledged, has it detected us yet?" came the tinny reply.

"I don't believe so, or if they have they don't seem to have taken an evasive course."

"Check the Message Float that we left at the Perimeter..."

Rufus turned to the left console and checked, the Message float they had left in waters a few miles away was still transmitting its warning to all shipping of the wargames the Brittanian navy were conducting...

"Its still transmitting, either they haven't got Radio, or they're ignoring it..."

"Standby." came the order.

Hmm ... What can we do to help?

(OOC: Ruhr, any objection to one of my Ships encountering perhaps a vessel belonging to this mysterious organisation.......continued from what I posted above?)

Europa Brittania OOC: Well, as long as I don't get an enemy as of yet. It would be nice to have a little plot here.

IC: Haraki, please do what you can. If you have information of the odd, it might be worthy of something to us. OOC: You are good at these RPs, just don't have any supernatural events.

OOC: No, no supernatural stuff.

IC:
We'll send some investigators.

A tall, thin man dresses in a pair of black slacks and a black shirt, with boots and a massive, sweeping overcoat. "Medic on duty. Mark that."

Command Deck, BMV Valencia , 0134 Hours. Somewhere in the S.W. Pacfic.

"Its definitley a ship Captain...I'll be able to get some details on it shortly, Its almost on top of us..." began Rufus.

The Captain of the Valencia, a tall and weathered man, nodded, and pondered for a second-

"I don't like it, I can#t believe they haven't read the message floats, and now we are to believe they cannot see our Radar signature....Helm, how long until they cross us?"

"At their current speed Captain, The vessel will intersect us about seventeen Metres off our Bow, in about fourteen Minutes."

"Very well, Deploy Thermal Imaging, I want an idea of how many people are on that boat, and what its carrying....Prepare an acoustic scan, I want to know exactly what kind of ship that is..."

Rufus nodded, and left the bridge.

On the Starboard side of the Valencia, a small Metallic Panel slowly swung open. The Glint of a Lens became visible as a large Thermal Imaging assembly extended from the hull.

He sweeps into the Medic's Hall. "Oi, any new assignments?" "Jah, Kev. Possible send to Ruhr."

OOC: No, no supernatural stuff.

IC:
We'll send some investigators.

Thank you. If you wish to visit any of the crime scenes.

"Patch in." He hits a button. "Ruhr Governmental, please."

Of course they do.

OOC: I'm not RPing very well right now. I feel stned. Don't blame me.

I don't know why, either.

COMMunication Station, C Deck- BMV Valencia 0200 Hours, Somewhere in the S.W. Pacific

Rufus poured over the readouts and displays of the Valencia's imaging scanners as he tried to narrow down the vessel type, he was having little luck, and had been unable to narrow anything down. A loud beep indicated the Acoustic scan was complete, and he turned and noted its results. Moving to the other side of the room, he began searching through the Military database, looking for a template that might identify their unknown visitor.

Rufus whistled as a partial match was found. He crossed back to the Radio Mike.

"Captain, I have a partial ID, the vessel is almost certainly of Rhurian Design.....but its of no class on record...It seems to be heavily modified..."

"Rhurian...this far out?" came the reply.

Rufus opened his mouth to reply, but again was interrupted as the Thermal Imager indicated its readiness to be analysed.

"One Moment Captain." He hastily added.

The Image appeared on the upper Monitor, the Ship's hull was a dull blue, with a large orange spot indicating the ships Diesel Engines.....several red "blobs" milled through the ship...obviously crew..but something else......In the midship, elongated cylinders, whose outline of dark blue was a harsh contrast to the fiery red that filled their innards.....

"Uh...Captain, the Rhurian ship, appears....to be carrying some sort of Ordanance..."

"Type?"

"I can't even hazard a guess, but it sure as hell isn't anything from the standard Rhurian Catalogue...."

Rufus sighed, rubbing his temple.

*Headquarters for the DIA*

A tall thin man with a black hair walked into a wood-trimmed office. "Alex?" The shorter, muscular man behind the desk looked up. "Can I have a word with you, we have some unfurling evidence for the recent events."

"Sure, Jack. How can I help you?"

"Well, we found a Gardner Island in the North Pacific where neighbors have mentioned for the last four months, people have been coming and going but only in the middle of the night."

"Sounds like a motel for hookers, to me."

"That was my initial impression, you see, they were walking out with packages. Generally small ones or large manilla folders."

"So, this sounds like a motel for hookers with a drug business on the side."

"Alex, please pay attention and take this seriously."

"Sorry, Jack. Continue."

"Police reports say that the area of this house is the same one where a large weapons bust took place back on July 1st."

"Three days after the R. Voyage went missing."

"The day after an unidentified cargo vessel with a normal black hull and white superstructure entered the Ruhrian Isles Colony's main port."

"Where is that ship now?"

"About 700 miles Southeast of Haraki, North-Northeast."

"What do we have near?"

"Well, as of now, the 4th Pacific Patrol Fleet is 650 miles to the West-northwest of its current location. Responds to hailing have not worked, and boarding the ship was an option. However, the fleet has no carriers, and the nearest Oliver Hazard Perry is four hours away from a LAUNCHING point for one of their seahawks."

"So this ship has stopped at nothing, and it can go missing again if the fleet doesn't hurry up."

"Yes. That's pretty much it."

"What was at the weapons sale?"

"RPGs, 50 Calibres, M16s, Marine Shotguns, and a few mortors."

"Pretty much everything that was being transported to the US? Huh?"

"Yep."

"How long have those people been coming in and out of that house?"

"About four months."

"And when can we get the Black Recon to get there?"

"Honestly, sir...the local government tried to storm that house already. Nothing was found. The entire house was empty. No fingerprints, no food, not even a rat."

"Damnit!"

"I know sir. The car that last left was a VW Passat W8 4xMotion with a spoiler. It was dark silver and had the licenseplate: T759 H86A."

"Well did anyone check it?"

"Yes sir, not a known vehicle plate to anywhere in Ruhr, Gardner Island, or any of the NATO Nations."

"Damnit! Find more traces of evidence, Jack. I want those bastards found."

"Sir, there is one thing."

"What is that?"

"It appears that the ship that supposedly had the stolen cargo on it is armed with Missiles, torpedoes, and two 5" Cannons."

"Aftermarket modifications. Probably has a few hundred troops on it also. Ok, Jack. Report back to me when you get more information."

"Yes, Sir."

Jack walked out of the room. He closed the door and went back past the Secretary. "How did it go, Mr. Ryan?"

"Ok, Cathy."

"Crack anything yet?"

"Not enough to help us out considerably."

"Have a good day, Mr. Ryan." Cathy pressed the button and the sliding bullet-proof glass door opened. Ryan went back to his office. What the hell do these people want? He was pissed for not getting far enough to understand. There had to be a clue he was missing.

Hey Everybody! IT IS OK TO POST EVEN THOUGH SOME OF US HAVE STARTED! COME ON!!!!


I Mean, where is ARDOR, Celack, Derieties??? Where is NATO? Where is CAF? Where is the Allied Powers?


COME ON EVERYBODY!!! COME HAVE SOME FUN!!!

Ruhr, I can have three of the newest in Derien military high-resolution spysats watching your main ports, etc.. within the hour. 1 more is currently tracking a suspiscous ship that meets your description and is relatively close to the location you stated. 3 more spysats are covering a 100 mile radius around the ship, and 2 more are scanning in sweeping circles out from the original area. Picture files are being sent along with this message detailing the visible weaponry, top shots, a few zoomed in shots from about 20 feet above every part of the ship.

(ooc: is this okay? if its not, my sattelliets(sp?) can malfunction, it can be a false lead, something like that.)

Well, lets get something going. Sure thats good.

So lets sum it up:


Weird things happening in ruhr:

1. Billions were stolen.
2. Fleet Plans were stolen
3. Radar instalation destroyed/Radar coverage charts taken
4. Ruhrian Freighted missing
5. Ruhrian Ship found, all torn up, crew dead, freight stolen.
6. Freight was found being sold, nothing was done.
7. Only lead on terrorists was screwed up by Local Cops.
8. BMV Ship has the freighter on radar.
9. Ruhrian Fleet too far off.
10. Daezeman has offered his equipment.
11. Haraki has sent investigators.

Thats jsut about it.

No thanks, this is a serious RP, and as far as I have seen...as they say in Flori-DUH...."you don't got what it takes..."

Has anyone uncovered anything?

"Well, Medic First Class Kevin Black. We have hospitals, we need information. Perhaps we can send you back to Daezeman, and get some top intelligence officers?"

Copiosa Scotian Intelligence Directorate,

Your team will be greatly appreciated. The Ruhrian DIA (Defence Intelligence Agency) has uncovered more evidence leading to a government backed organization. 1.4 Billion dollars that was stolen was traced back to the nation Elenloki. We are starting to believe that this nation, or its allies, are planning an attack on Ruhr and our allies.

Thank you for joining,

(OOC: Ruhr, what are your country's laws regarding the carrying of firearms by civilians?)

(OOC: Ruhr, what are your country's laws regarding the carrying of firearms by civilians?)



Well, Guns are allowed by licensed owners in public. Illegal Sale=Unauthorized sale of weaponry without background check or at un-sponsored event, unlicensed owners are not allowed to have them period.

If a non-government sponsored foreigner has them, they are immediately prosecuted. If the foreigner has a license in a different country, and is government sponsored and has registered at the embassy, they are allowed to carry them in public.

Unofrtunately, my nation lacks any good investigative units. We work more in defense, assassination and all around ass-kicking. If any help is needed in those, I would be gald to help as a NATO member. I will keep my elite first squad of SOET in Ruhr if that is permitted.

Daezeman,


Although your one man may be a great one, one man cannot cover hundreds of thousands of miles. We need teams for investigation. We need fleets for finding these ships. We need airplanes to keep track of other ships. We need satellites to maintain contact and update surveilance.

I assume my troops are allowed to be fully armed. They wouldn't be effective without their choice of weapons. I willl keep them from using explosives and anything that could cause signifigant collateral damage. Just tell me where they can set down.

Here is a list of places where you can land your troops:

Nuremburg International Airport (Public airport, although 8 runways provide quick transportation)
Munich Air Base (Military Airbase used for transportation, in the center or Ruhrian Island, the main island)
Ramstein Air Base (Airforce Base located to the east of Ruhr on Nevada Island)
Stuttgart Military Compound (On an island 12 miles off of Ruhrian Island, location of first bombing)
Nevada Naval/Air/Army Base (In Nevada City, four miles from the capitol and right on the Ruhrian Channel.

Choose any of these places.

I shall put them down at the Nevada base. All I require is a place to stick the chopper and my troops shall make do.

Not to mention the poor spelling and english. Hey, he tries.

Need air support? We can provide it, with our massive, elite, air force.

Lady Jung-Sook calmly walked through the hallways of the building corridor, her PDRK uniform as neatly pressed as possible, her medals glistening from the reflection of the lights. She enters the office solely labeled as hers, taking off her coat and hanging it on the nearby hangar. She did not even bother to sit down as she immediately picked up the phone upon ending its first ring.

"Jung here...Yes sir, the funds will be transfered into your two accounts in due time. I also have to report that Major Se has recently purchased and just received our weapons...No sir, I assure you that no one, not even anyone within Central Command know of this.....Yes sir, the 13th have reported that they are all stationed nearby Wonsan, Commander Song states that his troops are ready to strike," She paced back and forth, hoping that the timed tracking disruptor was doing its job, "...Well, we recently came in contact with Kin Wai..but can he be trusted sir?....Yes, I understand, my apologies." She took a momentary pause as two figures walked passed her office, she waited a minute or two before she went back to talking on the phone, "Yes, the shipments from the recent freighter hijacking are arriving at this very moment. And no, not even Ruhr knows who exactly is responsible.....But what of the Leader?...you know as I do he keeps very tight security to prevent these kinds of things....Yes sir..uh-huh, I will proceed on then. Bid to you farewell for now sir."

With that she clicked off the phone, she looked up at the clock, it read 12:34 pm. Just one minute left...a close cut she thought as she moved out of her office, taking with her a medium-sized black satchel before closing and locking the door.

OOC: This is all I can think of right now..I'm busy and tired..and for the others, Ruhr approved of this.

Nuremberg International Airport
Nuremberg, Ruhr
4:48 p.m. local time

Mark Reiner walked off the airliner, nodding to the pilot, and stepped into the busy terminal. He rechecked his watch, and shook his head. He'd crossed way too many time zones to get here, with the result that he'd actually arrived in Ruhr before he left Copiosa Scotia. Ouch. He caught his reflection in the terminal windows. Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts, red eyes... he certainly didn't look like the commander of a blacker-than-black special ops squad, and one of the most dangerous men in the world. Good.

He waited by the tunnel, and a few minutes later, he was joined by Paul O'Brien. "How do we find Catlin?" Reiner asked the sniper.

"We look for the Mormon, apparently," O'Brien answered.

"What?"

"I don't know. That's all my notes say," said O'Brien. "I'm sure it made since when I wrote it down."

The pair, looking for all the world like two tourists, made their way to the baggage carousel, where they spotted exactly the man they were looking for.

"Hey, check it out," said O'Brien, pointing to a man who appeared to be shouting very loudly and waving a book.

"Not bad. He's even got a bicycle," Reiner noted. "You make contact, I'll pick up our luggage."

O'Brien headed off toward the "Mormon", who, Reiner knew, was actually a Baptist named Nolan Catlin. He was the Security and Law Bureau detective on the team, and one of the few names Reiner had been given prior to the insertion. Ah. There's O'Brien's "suitcase". Reiner knew for a fact that the case contained only one thing: a MacMillan .50 cal rifle. Getting it to fit had been quite a task. It was unlikely they'd need it, but the sniper simply hated to be in the field without it.

He pulled that bag, then his own, off the conveyor belt, then felt a tap on the shoulder. O'Brien was back. He handed Reiner a book of Mormon. "It's all there, chief," he muttered "IDs, carry and conceal licenses, cash, and contact information."

"Alright." The two stepped outside and Reiner called for a taxi. "It's good to be on vacation again."

N0rth Korea, I like what you are doing, feel free to continue.

Copiosa Scotia, do you require any information?

N0rth Korea, I like what you are doing, feel free to continue.

Copiosa Scotia, do you require any information?

Whatever's available in the moment. Leads, possible places to begin an investigation, all that would be good.

OCC: Did you make this up or did someone really threaten you?

As for evidence *scratches head*, well...we know the ship but we cannot get to it. The closest thing to it is Europa Britannia's ship and he hasn't RPed for a day.

Because Local Police have rummaged through everything without making any good finds, the house on Gardner Island scene has been rendered useless. Completely clean.

As for the Ruhrian Mainland front, I would suggest starting at either the Radar Installation outpost, or the Ruhrian Isles Colony National Guard Field Headquarters. At both scenes of the crime, terrorists entered the building after power outages or surveilance blackouts. So they know what is going on.

One satellite has passed over Ruhr, and as our SpyOnSat-Sat passed over, we noticed more activity going on with it's systems. The next time this satellite passes, the Ruhrian Air Force will take it down with an Anti-Sat missile.

There were no notes left at any scene, just a peculiar connection. A lot of cash is stolen, 2.4 Billion USD. Fleet Plans and paths were then stolen. Then Radar Coverage Charts were stolen as well as one installation to the north. Then the Ryan's Voyage freighter went missing, was found destroyed, with everything stolen. This freighter passed through the formerly occupied radar coverage on Stuttgart Outpost, and a gap in fleet coverage. So the same terrorists performed every task. Now we know where the ship is but we cannot get to it.

OCC: Did you make this up or did someone really threaten you?

Well, someone threatened me, and I said: Hey, if you are going to threaten me let me at least get some fun out of it, then I can crush you.

So let me say I know who the badguy is...but you guys don't. But I am having fun trying to connect things widely.

Information would be good.

At both scenes of the crime, terrorists entered the building after power outages or surveilance blackouts. So they know what is going on.

One satellite has passed over Ruhr, and as our SpyOnSat-Sat passed over, we noticed more activity going on with it's systems. The next time this satellite passes, the Ruhrian Air Force will take it down with an Anti-Sat missile.

There were no notes left at any scene, just a peculiar connection. A lot of cash is stolen, 2.4 Billion USD. In Ruhrian Isles Colony, A lead terrorist was rescued, Fleet Plans and paths were then stolen. Then Radar Coverage Charts were stolen as well as one installation to the north. Then the Ryan's Voyage freighter went missing, was found destroyed, with everything stolen. This freighter passed through the formerly occupied radar coverage on Stuttgart Outpost, and a gap in fleet coverage. So the same terrorists performed every task. Now we know where the ship is but we cannot get to it. At Gardner Island, several items that were on the R. Voyage were found at a illegal arms sale. Local police turned up nothing from the suspected hideout.

(I'm going to put them down at Nuremburg)

Nuremburg International Airport

A dark helicopter comes over the nearby forest and sets down on a landing pad. Four figures got out, each carrying a duffel and a sword. They hadn't been here since they were SPARTANs. It brought back memories. They proceeded towards the nearest building, looking for someone with which to speak with.

The afternoon sun did nothing but fuel the sweltering heat, fortunately Sariwon was known for its consistent cold climate, much like US's San Francisco..besides the point. A hummer along with five escort vehicles pull to a nearby building, the large brass letterings making out:

Sariwon Central Communications Bureau

Jin-Hien, son of the renowned General Hyun, stepped out of the hummer, two guards immediately at his sides. The soldiers guarding the SCCB entrance saluted Jin as well as opening the door as to let him in. He passed everyone without saluting them back, his mind more focused on other things. He finally reached Major Lee's quarters, he opened the door and entered the room, seeing Lee and a few other officers circled around the table, apparently discussing of matters of relevant importance. As soon as he entered, Lee and the others arose from their seats and gave their respective bows, proceeding then to shake hands with Jin. As they all took back to their seats, the Major was the first to speak back up,

"How good it is to see you again Lieutenant Commander, how goes things for us..and yourself?" Jin smiled at the Major's question, the smile was to confirm nothing but the best of news. "They know nothing of who was responsible, and nearly all the materials that we needed have or will arrive in a short moments notice...Our forces are all reporting their full readiness." This was definite good news to the ears of the others, who all were smiling and speaking with each other in excited whispers. Jin continued, "There is more...each day we absorb more commanders and their men who can be deemed worthy of our cause, and we now have immense financial backing through our available funds...If you all know our target was that of Ruhr, we did this only because they pose one of the greatest threats to our expansion plans and as well, held certain "individuals" that we surely needed...plus, they just so happened to have ships in the neighborhood." The others gave chuckles to his last statement. "Now as you may all know Central Command knows nothing of our involvement and we must keep it this way...to them it was just another rogue organization trying to make a name for itself," he paused momentarily, looking around at the serious, nodding heads of the Major and other commanders most loyal to him, "I will decide when our actions shall be made known but until then, I ask that you all keep silence, if they ask of the military movements..just say they are nothing more than training simulations requested by me. Understood?" The others nodded their heads in the agreement, giving their own voiced affirmatives as well. At this time, the Major stood up and spoke, "Commander Jin sir...undoubtedly when we first met you we were surprised and swayed by your charisma. What you offer will be an enlightenment anew for the entire Leadership Council, we are glad to be at your side and we lay down our loyalties to serving for your cause." The other commanders gave a near unisoned cheer as to strengthen Lee's comment. Jin smiled, patting the Major on the shoulder, "You were among the most loyal whom I have met, I trust your statement down the to the very letter....Now, let us move to a more.."suitable" location as to discuss our plans, contact General Myon and tell him we are to meet, he knows where I speak of." With that the others immediately arose from their seats, their movements hustled, Jin walked out of the quarters, his expression in elation..All is working...in due time...all in due time will things play right into my hands..

A hotel
Nuremberg, Ruhr
8:12 local time

Mark Reiner awakened to the sound of a phone ringing. He rolled over to look at the clock. Did I fall asleep already? Blast this jet lag. Getting out of bed, he started rummaging through his suitcase for the satellite phone. Here it is. He turned it on, and said simply, "Reiner."

"Yeah, Mark, it's Nolan."

"What's on your mind that was worth waking me up for, Nolan?" Reiner queried irritably.

"Oh, were you asleep? I'm sorry," Catlin apologized.

"Yeah, I was. Get to the point so I can go back."

"Well, just a few things I've noticed so far." He paused, but got no response from Reiner, so he forged on. "First, the police presence. As you may have noticed, there are police everywhere, and you'd think that the kind of crime we've been hearing about wouldn't happen in Ruhr. Not only that, but the police had a chance to apprehend some of these "terrorists", as the Ruhrian intel people are calling them... anyway, the cops could have caught some of these guys, but they screwed up. I have to wonder if whoever's behind this has contacts in the Ruhrian police force."

Logical enough, Reiner thought. "If so, it's probably good that the Ruhrian government doesn't know who we are. If the bad guys have contacts in the police force, they could have contacts higher up."

"Agreed. The other thing is, and it's not really important, just something I noticed, in fact, I mentioned it earlier... the Ruhrians are calling these guys "terrorists". Now, I don't know, but it seems more like the work of common criminals rather than terrorists - virtually every one of these incidents has involved theft. They're obviously well-organized, but that doesn't necessarily make them terrorists. I personally would be more likely to label them thieves, or maybe smugglers. I'm not getting a sense of any kind of ideological or religious motivation here, Mark."

"Yeah, but I'm not sure how the freeing of the CLA guy fits in with that view of things," Reiner put in.

"Me either, Mark, but we don't really know much yet about the guy, or his organization, for that matter."

"That's true. And I'm glad you're thinking of these things." The difference between a common criminal and a terrorist might not seem like a big deal, but the fact was that the two types just thought differently. And knowing how his opponent thought would be a huge advantage to have. "I'd suggest that you put in a request for information on the CLA."

"Already done," Catlin affirmed. "And I'll be sending these conclusions off to the CSID shortly."

"Sounds like you've put in a good evening's work, Nolan. Get that report fired off, and get yourself some rest. That's what I'll be doing."

The men exchanged goodnights, and Reiner returned to a sound, restful sleep.

These guys are damn clever if they are able to steal billions in a heist.

What a heist!

How may I begin my RP.

(OOC: An electronic heist. Now that I think about it, it sounds like someone I know.

At any rate, I'm gone for the night.)

Because I have school today, and then I am going to see The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen tonight, I regret to inform you that I cannot RP until tonight at earliest.

Everyone is doing an outstanding job so far, and Copiosa, remember that the TERRORISTS blew up a radar, and killed quite a few people.

-Ruhr-

(OOC: I'm sure Catlin can think of a few reasons why criminals would do that. I'm not saying he's necessarily right, but a large part of his job in Copiosa Scotia involves organized crime, so these are the kind of things that are going through his head right now.)

(OOC: Sorry, RL is a drag....)

BMV Valencia, 0215 Hours, Somewhere in the S.W. Pacifc.

Rufus continued to pour over the Thermal Imagers, desperatley hoping to glean some information as to what the mysterious Rhurian ship was carrying. Sighing at his less than fantastic results, he swivelled his chair round to the GPS Terminal and with one eye on still on the Video Imagers he began to type his hourly situation report, which would be sent back to the mainland.

On the bridge the Captain strolled restlessley, his eyes never straying too far from his Helmsman, who nervously watched the readouts for signs of change.

"The vessel will intersect us in seven minutes." he reported.

The Captain nodded, and punched the Comm activation control.

"Rufus, you have five minutes to come up with something else." before cutting it abruptly.

----------------------------------

Rain lashed down as the Valencia bobbed on the stormy waves, the visibilty reduced to near zero, only the occasional flash of lightning providing any illiumination. And still the mysterious Rhurian vessel closed.

Rufus threw the map from the table, a growl escaping his voice. Whatever Ordanance the Rhurian vessel was carrying, it wasn't anything on record. His thoughts were interrupted by the Captain entering the room.

"Give me a status Report."

Rufus nodded and got to his feet, reviewing his notes-

"Well Captain, here all I have. Firstly, It is a Rhurian ship, but I can say with a good degree of certainty that it is not from the Rhurian Military, it is answering to no call sign, has no discernable hull markings, and is of no known design in current Rhurian Mass production. Secondly, the Ordanance being carried is almost certainly in the form of a Missile, however the Energy inside is reading on Thermal Imaging even though the Missile is clearly not armed nor ready to detonate. Thirdly, I believe the reason they are so close to our path precisley what they have failed to attempt."

"...In english Luietenant?"

"They are maintaing a Radio and Radar Blackout, they are attempting to present as small a target as possible, in the event that no other Radar could detect them, however they were foiled by the recent upgrade to the Valencia's Radar systems, and th Thermal Imaging."

"Options?"

"We could allow them to continue, we have little in the way of indisputable proof..."

"Or?" asked the Captain, knowing full well another option existed.

"We could stop them....they are now inside International waters... Perhaps we are imposing a UN screen...."

"It wouldn't go down well if anyone found out we weren't actually UN sanctioned....but I can't take the risk of letting some pretty mysterious Missiles pass us by, when there is a good chance that they could be used for Terrorist purposes. Contact Rhurian Command, tactfully ask if they are deploying any transporters within our Grid....We should be sure.."

The waves of the black water continued to crash violently against the hulls all around the unrelentless storm continued its assault. A bright lighting is seen from the distance, accompanied by a large thunderous noise. Though most crew members were inside, there were a few who remained out on deck, just casually walking by as if the storm had no effect on them. Within the control brig, Chan, current head of the ship, overlooked the waters as much as he could with his binoculars.

One of his officers spoke up, "Sir, the ship is again trying to hail us...they are edging closer sir, I'd say that about six minutes before they are at direct contact..It may seem like the Ruhrian design is not fooling them."

"Either that or they are just suspicious.." Chan replied, cocking his colt pistol before putting it back into his shoulder hoslter, "inform the crews to hide the missile and get Wai as well as the others off this boat."

"Sir, shall I make contact with the Ullung-do port harbor?" Chan turned to the man, his expression mostly that of surprise.

"And risk exposing this whole operation..look, we may just be sea mercs-for-hire but there is no way that we're gonna break our deal."

"Bu..but sir.."

"But nothing! We remain in silence..ya hear?.."

"Yes sir..," the man turned to the radio and relayed the message to all rooms. At that time, Chan's second-in-command, Fredrich, came up to him.

"Is it wise to send out Wai in weather like this? He is deemed important..quite a risk to just let him go." Chan gave a response, his gaze still toward the window and the storm.

"I was informed that a unmarked submarine will arrive to pick him up a short distance from here to carry him back...besides, this is the calmest part of the storm, I think he'll manage."

"Are you sure this is worth the risk?...we got at least a hundred million and who knows what them Koreans will do to us, they might double-cross and turn us in as the ones responsible for what happened in Ruhr.." Chan turned from looking at the window to facing eye to eye contact with Fredrich, "..You know damn well that I am a man of my word and that we're more than prepared to deal with them should that happen but knowing how much they apparently need this I won't think of it...besides, if we return as planned, we can expect more than just a hundred million..." Fredrich knew what Chan was referring to...a hundred and a half million along with a cache of slightly-outdated weapons was the part if they returned but he wasn't as swayed as the others, Fredrich was cautious about who he worked for, even as a mercenary, he just had that aweful feeling for some reason...

OOC: Sorry if that sounded lame.

A hurried knocking at the door awoke General Jeff Garand from his state of concentration. "Come in." he said, rising slowly from his chair. At five feet, ten inches and two hundred and eleven pounds, he was an imposing man, despite his sixty years of age. Jeff slid his right hand into an open desk drawer, grasping the grip of an H&K SOCOM. Garand had been suspicious of unannounced knocks at the door since a bunch of terrorists had stormed in in an attempt to assassinate him. The door flew open, revealing his assistant, Specialist John Revin, who stumbled into the small office, panting for breath.

"General.... Message from Rhur...."

"Sit the hell down and catch you breath so I can understand you." Jeff said sharply, half-shoving Revin into a nearby chair. "We've REALLY got to move the comm post closer to the HQ. That or you've got to get in better shape." Garand said jokingly as he sat back down in his high-backed chair and began clearing various documents off the glossy wooden surface of his desk as he waited for Revin to recover from the long run from the comm station.

"Alright John, what's this about Rhur?"

"We've just got a message saying that they've been attacked, sir. We're waiting on your reply."

"Aww hell... Have that lazy-ass Zion assemble enough arms and supplies for two thousand troops. Then tell Dekker to get his ass in here. He's never around when I need him!"

A few moments later, Dekker Bray walked slowly into the general's small office and sat down in one of the black leather chairs facing the immense desk. He seemed edgy, which was unusual for his son-in-law.

"You rang, sir?"

"No shit. Son, we've got a small situation on our hands here. Our newest ally, Rhur, has had some problems with terrorists lately. I'd like you to take two thousand regulars and a team of your boys over to Rhur and set up. Backup will be avaliable if a war should break out."

"Yes sir."

"I'm sending your unfortunate ass into a potential combat zone, why are you so glum?"

"Cuz I just found out I'm gonna be a father." Dekker said with pride.
"Congradjulations, grandpa." He said to Jeff with a smile. "You sonuva bitch..." Jeff said as he rose to embrace his son-in-law with a hug. Dekker had married Jeff's oldest daughter, Christie, two months ago.

"I'll watch the family, I'm too damn old to fight anymore anyway."

"Not a problem. When do we leave?"

"The regulars are getting ready to board the transports. All you need to do is assemble a SpecOps crew and pack for the trip."

"I'll have Tyrone get the usual crew together, after I stop by home and say my good-byes. Send my reguards to Maria and the rest." Dekker said over his shoulder as he walked out the door.

"Light the floodlights." came the order.

Rufus nodded and at his bridge station, he punched in the sequence required and nodded to the captain.

The inkly blackness of the night was shattered as six Immense Floodlights suddenly blazed into life, illuminating the Dark Rhurian ship like a christmas tree covered in lights.

the figure of a man was made out standing on deck, but he quickly retreated below deck as the lights came on.

A screeching was heard as a Speaker system roared to life-

"Attention Rhurian Vessel, this is the Brittanian Military Carrier Valencia, you are odered to have all crew bar your Pilot and Engineer report above deck, and cut your engines, you are to searched for Ordanance violation in accordance with UN Directives.

Within the Armoury of the Valencia dozens of Men pulled their M-16s from the Security Lockers and loaded them with a dull click. As each man retrieved his weapon he joined another standing around a large table. At the head of the table stood a senior Seargent.

"Listen up men, we are going to board this Rhurian Vessel, and carry out a standard UN search, we don't expect any rough stuff, they are most likely civillian sailors, but what they're carrying could be a threat, so be alert, move out!"

Outside, a small Gunboat left the side of the Valencia, slowly but surely creeping towards the Rhurian Vessel, the boarding party stationed aboard, unaware of what really awaited them....

On the bridge the Captain issued a further order.

"Get me someone on that ship, they dont have a reason to maintain radio silence anymore, and I'm getting suspicious."

The Blackhawk helicopter carrying Lt. Bray and his team touches down in a Rhurian military airfield.

Within the hulls and control brig, men were rushing around, some of them men shouting, "HURRY! THEY'RE COMING!" and "MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!". Sounds could be heard of men loading pistols, shotguns, just about whatever weapon they had on them. Chan and Fredrich were still within the brig when the radio crackled to life, "This is the Valencia requesting an immediate response..." Chan was about to pull out his pistol to shoot the radio before Fredrich grabbed his arm to stop him, saying, "Let me handle this..you go out and take care of the boarding party..sir."

The two were at a deadlock stare for a moment before Chan nodded his head and begun making his way toward the outside. In reaching Elevator Platform 2, he met with all those that were inside, he then gave his orders, "Alright, I will need over half of you to discard your weapons except for your sidearms, we have to appear as harmless as can be to these men....The rest of ya are to bunker yourselves in, I don't need to tell where because I know none of you are stupid enough to choose an obvious place...Barricade the room to our special package and make some damned good excuse to not let them enter should they find it. If worst comes to worst we will end up in a shoot out, let's hope for otherwise gentlemen...All right, you all know your roles..Let's move out!" With that many of the crews voluntarily gave up their weapons and boarded the platform as it was being readied to rise. The other remaining troops began to run in seperate directions as to hide themselves for the "final defense".

**Main Brig**
"This is Second Mate George Hollander, may I request why a search for 'Ordanance Material' be needed? We're only a simple cargo vessel?" Fredrich had broken the radio silence and awaited for the reply but got none, he looked out and saw Chan and the others rise from the platform, Chan looking up and giving a thumbs up, so he decided just to continue, "Alright Valencia I've been okay'ed to give you clearance to board the ship, the crew is waiting."

**Deck**
Chan momentarily took out his pistol before putting it back into his hidden holster, he as well heard the sounds of a few clicks and snaps as the others were readying their own pistols. "Alright 'ladies', this is it..."

Sergeant Gibb stepped on to the Rhurian Vessel with a soft thump, immediatley his M-16 was held, not threatingly, but not without a deep sense of suspicion. The soft thuds continued as his men followed him onboard until twenty stood including himself.

"Gibb, Sergeant 4th Class, Valencia 2nd Detachment. Gentlmen, we'd like to have a look around." he stated, his voice gravely.

Already his team had fanned out, splitting into pairs. On the port side one Brittanian, utilising a harness lowered himself over the side, and began examining the hull. Slowly but surely his teammate lowered high resolution Thermal Imaging Goggles.

"It'll take a few minutes to power them up!". he shouts, struggling to be heard over the storm.

Gibb headed to the Bridge, his eyes darting from one end of the corridor to the other, his boots clamping on the floor.

Fredrich calmly walked down the stairs and through the tight-knit corridors of the ship, following the sounds of footsteps as they seem to be approaching closer and closer. Fredrich decided to go about to find the source of the sound.

**Main deck**
Chan looked about as the Gib's troops began to spread, he looked over to the other men and nodded toward them before speaking, "Alright boys, meetings over..let's get back to work." With that the main bunch dispersed to act as if going back to their "original" duties. Two of the crew members followed Chan as he made his way around, keenly observing all around him.

**Few miles away from the Ruhrian ship**
A small motor craft struggled to keep up speed against the harsh winds and waves yet Wai managed; grateful that the dark waters gave some form of hiding cover. He had turned on the onboard computer map around the location he was in, from the looks of it and where he was, the boat need only travel for a few more minutes before reaching the rendezvous point with the submarine.

Thank you, Dear Friend of Ruhr,

Any help is welcome. On the subject of help, what is the availability of one of your carrier-battlegroups? I am sending the 1st Indian Ocean fleet (67 Warships, even more support) to the area and I would like for them to join up with one of your fleets. Would this be possible? I will contact you with specific instructions if you agree to help us (Trust me, Azazia...it will be well worth it, when is the last time you saw a 100+ ship fleet operating together?)

Tiburon,

OOC: I have long since wanted to crush Xanthal...but because Haraki pretty much is best-buds with him...I can't do much of anything to drag him into it. There is a whole 'nother plot for this thread, and it may end up in a large global conflict (if we are lucky, it will just end up NATO crushing a generally all-round disliked alliance).



Europa Brittania,

I apologize for my lack of availability. I will start on a post to get this going, but right now I am kind-of out of ideas (I just saw The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and that movie depressed me because I would have never thought to see a BAD Sean Connery film). I promise I will get to it.

OOC: I think one of my Ticonderoga Cruisers is looking for a little trouble. That may give this a little more spice.



Mercenary Soldiers and Driddian,

As much as I appreciate your help, I wish that you please do not land troops on Ruhr. There has not been idle foriegn forces on Ruhrian land since Copiosa Scotia's war on the Bisons where anybody just landed their troops to keep them safe.



TO EVERYBODY,

IT IS SPELT: R-U-H-R

Gibb marched down the corridors of the small Rhurian vessel, his keen eyes searching for any sign of items out of the ordinary.

Donning his thermal imaging goggles he began to scan the sealed bulkhead in front of him. The Imagers told him the weld lines around the door were still warm.

This was done recently.

he pressed his hand against the lock.

also warm, someone had passed through this door recently.

Clicking the Safety off his M-16 he brought his wrist Radio to hand.

"Alpha & Beta Squads, rendevouz at my position immediatley. All other squads continue as normal."

Gibb turned, hearing a thud, similar to a non Brittanian issue boot hitting the deck plating.

"Show Yourself!" he shouted, immediatley raising his weapon.

To Everybody participating or who wish to participate, This is what has happened.

As for evidence *scratches head*, well...we know the ship but we cannot get to it. The closest thing to it is Europa Britannia's ship and he hasn't RPed for a day.

Because Local Police have rummaged through everything without making any good finds, the house on Gardner Island scene has been rendered useless. Completely clean.

As for the Ruhrian Mainland front, I would suggest starting at either the Radar Installation outpost, or the Ruhrian Isles Colony National Guard Field Headquarters. At both scenes of the crime, terrorists entered the building after power outages or surveilance blackouts. So they know what is going on.

One satellite has passed over Ruhr, and as our SpyOnSat-Sat passed over, we noticed more activity going on with it's systems. The next time this satellite passes, the Ruhrian Air Force will take it down with an Anti-Sat missile.

There were no notes left at any scene, just a peculiar connection. A lot of cash is stolen, 2.4 Billion USD. In Ruhrian Isles Colony, A lead terrorist was rescued, Fleet Plans and paths were then stolen. Then Radar Coverage Charts were stolen as well as one installation to the north. Then the Ryan's Voyage freighter went missing, was found destroyed, with everything stolen. This freighter passed through the formerly occupied radar coverage on Stuttgart Outpost, and a gap in fleet coverage. So the same terrorists performed every task. Now we know where the ship is but we cannot get to it. At Gardner Island, several items that were on the R. Voyage were found at a illegal arms sale. Local police turned up nothing from the suspected hideout.


Read the last two pages for more information. This is just review from the past. Sigma, if you have payed attention to the NATO Forum, you will see some information there that we will be using this thread as a precursor to a NATO event.

Oh Yeah, and everyone ignore HARAKI on this thread, because Haraki is lazy and does not want to participate because he is too preoccupied with Xanthal and his god-moded military.

Okay, I'm up to date. Should I fly in some extra SOET to help out my four SOET already in-country?

May I play? I did pretty well in the Invitational...

Sigma,

If you wish to send more, please do so. Keep in mind that heavy forces will be needed in the near-future.


To Everybody,

The Ruhrian Empire is now at Defcon 1. An enemy attack is expected sometime in the next 24 hours. More information will be available later.

Sigma, Thank you for the help. No further information is available. I can tell you this though:

Stuttgart Naval Outpost is in the North, and that left a great opening in Ruhrian Radar Coverage. We are scrambling to make up for it.

Mark Reiner turned away from the TV. Sweet merciful crap... The look on Paul O'Brien's face showed he was thinking nearly the same thing. Reiner picked up the satellite phone and dialed Catlin's number.

"Are you watching this, Nolan?"

"I've been watching this all morning," Catlin answered. Awful sudden of them, but not entirely unexpected."

"Are you serious?" Mark asked incredulously. "What was that about a criminal organization last night?"

"Well, obviously, even if it's organized crime, it's not likely to be an indigenous group. The government has too much control here for that. Terrorists or not, these guys are working out of another country."

"Fine," Reiner said. "But how are we to know this has anything to do with those incidents, anyway?"

"Well, that's just an educated guess," Catlin admitted. "But the way Ruhrian officials are treating this... I don't know, but it feels like a pretty safe guess to me." Catlin paused. "Mark, if you can, I'd suggest you get in touch with Andrew Kane."

"I tried earlier. He's still in Imitora with that cute diplomat. Davidson, I think her name was. Anyway, D-SED told me to call back in 24 hours."

"Great. Haven't they got anyone in charge there at the moment?" Catlin asked.

"Yeah, they do, but he's... he's no Andrew Kane. I doubt if he's even cleared on this mission," Mark added.

"Well, I guess all we do now is watch and wait, then."

"Yeah. I'll call you back if anything comes up."

With that, the Blackout Unit commander hung up the phone, and returned his attention to the TV screen.

Kiro watched over the Ruhrian highlands outside thw Wing One.

"Hm... the civil war at home is almost over. Maybe the Leos can help out here too."

He smiled.

"The Leos would really turn the tide in these wars.

*Public Television Address on Global News Network*


http://www.rte.ie/news/2001/1007/blairt.jpg

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Ruhrian Empire,

I have called this state of address because Ruhr has recieved an official anonymous threat from an outside state, yet to be identified. At 8:02AM Nuremburg Time, all fleets were mobilized, and the fighter wings across the country scrambledPolice and Army are now patrolling the streets, any signs of a threat by suspicious activity will result in immediate arrest.All reservists have been called up, and must report to their bases ASAP

We are now in a state of emergency. An attack on Ruhrian land or people should come soon. I have ordered the evacuation of Nuremburg, Nevada City, Hamburg, and all other major cities. Please, take only the things you need, and remain calm. This may just be a bluff but we are taking every precaution necessary.

People of Ruhr, We will get through this!

*End Public Address*



To everyone,

I will release the rest of the events that have taken place tonight. Trust me, this will be a great thread.

-Ruhr-

OOC: You want my help or are you still ignoring me?

I am mad at you, because this is a pretty damn good RP. But you are still in it...

OOC: Alrighty.

IC:

Ruhr, we currently have investigators inside your nation. They haven't found anything yet, but they're still trying.

Do you need any other help from us, in the form of military support or air support in case you are attacked? We can have forces inside your nation to help you in whatever you need very soon if that is the case.

Haraki,

You are but a mere 600 nautical miles from Ruhr. Any air help is welcome, as far as ground forces, the 9 million man army can handle it.

Anyways, I found it interesting someone wanted to join EODS...someone without the belief of Dragons. :roll: :wink:

Okay. I'll let your army handle it, but I'll send some of my air force over.

How does 4 wings of planes (96 planes per wing) sound? I'll make that 1 of air superiority fighters, and 3 of fighter-bombers.

OK, sounds good. I have several wings of Interceptors up. If you can, please place your bombers at Stuttgart Naval Outpost. If we do get something, it will be coming that way.

Right. The planes have left their runways, and are on their way to Ruhr. They should arrive very soon.

*Encrypted Wiring to Participating Nations*

Two days ago, four nuclear powered attack submarines entered Ruhrian waters by way of the NW Ruhrian SOSUS lines. They were moving slowly, and are expected to be in the vicinity of the run-away freighter. Although, after sending the Los Angeles Class SSN RNS Hamburg to investigate, nothing came up. It is our expectations that these submarines have gone into hiding or are currently circling. They do not bear the signatures of any russian class, or any other enemy class. We have no clue what they are.

26 Hours Ago, after spy-satellites took photos of the N0rth Korean ports, three of the six nuclear submarines were missing, with the rest warming their powerplants with the rest of the fleet.

21 Hours Ago, The 2nd Atlantic Patrol Fleet picked up signals from other ships to home base. After decrypting the codes, it was clear that there were plans of war but not clear on who.

18 Hours Ago, The Ruhrian Air Force launched Anti-Sat missiles at three over-passing satellites.

7 Hours Ago, A note declaring a missile attack on Ruhr was found in a briefcase left infront of the Chancellor's house gate. During a public address, the Chancellor clarified that this could be a bluff. It is expected otherwise.

This is the uncovered set of events.

Have fun. Don't worry. Thing's won't happen tonight...not extreme matters.

The air wings have arrioved and taken up their positions. Patrols are occuring frequently.

Given the state in Ruhr, the Haraki military has called out reserves, pulling our army from 2 million to 3 million. 2 extra Naval Detachments have been called up, and the number of active air wigns has gone from 4 to 8 to 10.

Haraki,

Your suprising participation has been most welcome in Ruhr's eyes.

Hey, no problem.

OOC: I would've been involved earlier but I needed time to read the massive posts that had occured while I was away :wink: .

Now only if the rest of NATO would realize that it is coming closer....

Where in the blazes is NATO?

Where in the blazes is NATO?

I don't know, but I'm here.

Atleast you are here. I am waiting for Derieties to show up, Celack, TSE, and the rest.

Haraki,


This is an OOC post, please do not respond to it but only once:

OOC: Please tell Xanthal that he has a god-moded military. I mean come on...look at him boasting 10,000 top-notch jets, 3,500 ships...some of which with anti-grav and all of them have fussion drive, and then he says he can afford it all. He will only listen to you, because even though I have posted my reasoning, he has come up with a response similar "well I can because my budget says so."

Bumpity!!!

Haraki,

You are but a mere 600 nautical miles from Ruhr. Any air help is welcome, as far as ground forces, the 9 million man army can handle it.

Anyways, I found it interesting someone wanted to join EODS...someone without the belief of Dragons. :roll: :wink:

Hey, if you have something to say to me, say it to my face.

The dragons idea was my (drunken) idea.

I'm here, but all may have known that. Now for the rest of NATO.

Tiburon,

You did not know the context of the statement, so why did you bother reading. It was directed at Haraki, and obviously it was meant to remain towards Haraki and Haraki only.

Now Continuing on...

OOC: Back..I guess.

Jin entered the Pyongyang Central Command building along with Major Lee as well as a three of his body guards. They of course took the time to bow and talk to most senior officers and political figure heads but the main purpose for being at the capital was by request of his father, General Hyun. They bypassed a few guarded corridors before finally reaching upon the door with the labeling 'Command Meeting Conference'. Major Lee opened the door to allow Jin to enter first following in closely. The General and those with him looked up from their papers to the two. Jin spoke up, "I have come as requested father.." Hyun's smile broadened and he walked up to Jin, his son first responded with a firm salute with that of extending a hand. Hyun returned the salute and extended his own to shake. "Glad you could make it my son..tell me, how is your new division?" Jin could not help but smile at the generosity he had been getting, "Most fitting 'General', the new ak tank division is undoubtedly among the most advanced I've seen...I'm surprised you allowed me control of it." Hyun chuckled, "More will be in production soon, so don't think that you are 'too' special...Now come I have something to show you." Jin looked at the other officers in the staff room before turning back to his father, "What about the others?" Hyun responded, "We were discussing a few things but finished just as you came in, Captain Choi and Commander Tai will be accompanying us, the rest are dismissed back to their regular duties." The officers arose from their seats to then give their respective bows before leaving. The five remaining as well left, making their way out of the building and to the awaiting cars.

"So father..how goes things in the office?" Jin has been away quite a bit to catch up with the continual changes in the government council. "Well...I do not know much but I have heard that Ambassador Dae is to visit Ruhr for the next few days to discuss relations between us." This caught Jin's attention and he immediately turned to his father, his face however, still of no expression.

"Do we have bad relations with Ruhr?"

"No, I believe we don't have any relations with them besides being at peace."

"Then I see no reason as to why we would want to..'discuss relations'."

"That is the point my son, I don't know if you have been catching up with the news, but there has been many incidents within Ruhr...rabble rousers who could very well strike us next or point all evidence to us..now none of us want that, that's for sure so that is why Dae is at Ruhr. To form good relations of trust and even offer our support..."

"..We already are in the UTP and have support of other DA regional alliances, adding moreso will do nothing but entangle us...we should.."

"Do not tense so much Jin, as the world evolves we must change as much and as little as we can to adapt to such changes...Now, let us proceed..shall we? I have something of much importance to show you."

Bumpity...

I cannot RP until Tommorow...so whatever is going to happen, will happen tommorow around noon...and you guys know when it happens.

Haraki,

You are but a mere 600 nautical miles from Ruhr. Any air help is welcome, as far as ground forces, the 9 million man army can handle it.

Anyways, I found it interesting someone wanted to join EODS...someone without the belief of Dragons. :roll: :wink:

Tiburon,

You did not know the context of the statement, so why did you bother reading. It was directed at Haraki, and obviously it was meant to remain towards Haraki and Haraki only.

Now Continuing on...

Yes, but as far as I am concerned, the Dragons incident is inexorably intertwined with my RP history ('twas the first RP I entered)

I gotta go (SNL).

^_^ See ya!

Tiburon,

Once again, since you did not understand the content of the post, and it is my intention to keep it quiet, I am going to say: LET IT GO, IT DOESN'T DEAL WITH YOU.

OOC: Back to the ship...
IC:

Fredrich stepped out with his hands up, "Its only the second mate.."

"..And what were you doing there sir? And why the hell is this door welded just recently?"

Fredrich had hoped he could escape the question or much so just put a bullet through Gibb's head..but he didn't have the silencer barrel attached, "If you wish to know..our cargo includes transporting construction material as well as hazardous waste..unfortunately the storm caused the pipes to suddenly burst as well as having some of the barrels fall to through ground and spill...The gas emitted is extremely dangerous so we had to seal off the vents as well as the men within the area..they were good men. So we've bee-"

Fredrich wasn't able to finish the statement as a bullet streaked pass, missing Gibb. Fredrich ducked down and saw one of his men firing off his rifle, he clawed over to him and grabbed him by the collar, "What the hell do you think you're doing!?...Do you know what you just did!?" Two other fellow mercs entered with automatic rifles and began firing, they heard their target call in for back up...it was only a matter of time now.

**Unknown Corridor** Chan and two other of his men were stalking about the passageways when their heard what sounded as the echo of bullet fire then the radio burst with Fredrich's voice, "This is Fredrich! We got code red down here!..." Chan silently cursed as he grabbed his radio and yelled out, "Attention all crew! 'All hands on deck!'" Chan then grabbed his pistol as did the others, "Follow me.." The three men immediately began rushing through the halls.

**Upper Main Deck**
Those outside immediately pulled their pistols, some even managing to have hidden uzi's and sawed-off shotguns. Gunfire could then be heard over the decks and within the hulls of the vessel.

OOC: This is most likely the last for tonight, I won't be back on again until tomorrow night, Pacific time.

Ruhr: I can because we have the technology and the money. I keep a running budget to prevent just these sorts of problems!

Do not hijack, As I said, I only wished for Haraki to respond...soo...unless you have something to contribute to this thread, get the hell off of it.

What? Me? Respond to what? This thread?

If that's the case, I think I succeeded. *innocent whistles*

Haraki,

Tell Xanthal to either A) contribute or B) Get the hell out.

Xanthal, either
a) contribute
or
b) get the hell out

Like that, Ruhr?

Xanthal, either
a) contribute
or
b) get the hell out

Like that, Ruhr?



Yes, that would work fine. You see, no matter what Xanthal never listens to anything I say. Since you are like his biatch, and vice-versa, he will listen to you.

Before I start work on one hell of a huge RP post, I am going to say the following as an official notice of this thread:

All remarks said, or brought forth by Xanthal are to be ignored, and/or mocked. That is all.

NO!!!! THE FORUM DELETED MY POST!!! ARGGHH!!!!!!!


WAAAAH!!!!!!!

It did that to a massive post I made once. That is why you should always click, select all and copy before posting.

I wasn't done though. I hit PREVIEW by mistake, and then it said:

Invalid_Session

It always does Inavlid_Session if the post is too big. Then you have to split it into seperate posts.

Oh well, that gives me more time to rethink...after all I only got one Word-Processor page done. OK, I will be back in 15-20 minutes. I have a battle to RP.

Gibb rolled to the floor and fired his Rifle, the chitter chatter of rapid fire clinking down the hall. "All units, shoot to immobilize, shoot to kill if absolutley nessecery! Alpha & Beta Team, clear the upper deck, Gamma team get to the bridge and disable navigation, Delta Team meet me here with cutting gear, I think I've found the storage bay!"

Onboard the Valencia, The Captain jumped to his feet.

"have all HighGuard prepare to board that vessel, Helm, fire mooring ropes and secure her to us, she's going to have to drag us along for the trip!" he ordered.

Within the armoury of the Valencia, dozens of men began arming, and making their way to a second Gunboat.

On the Flight deck soldiers had already taken up firing positions, raking the smaller Ruhrian vessel with gunfire.

I beg everyone's pardon. It was not my intention to intrude. I shall not post here again. My apologies.

Ok Ruhr can I get a summary of these 8 pages?

Walten,

To be honest...I am going to need your help, and MIEs help shortly.

If you have read the first post, that says pretty much everything that has happened before hand back in Ruhr. Then a bunch of countries joined in and started searching. Europa Brittania found the missing frieghter, and now they are onboard. A threat was found in Ruhr, and Ruhr is now at Defcon 1.

And shortly, I will post the start of something terrible.

(OOC: Crap. I've got to go out of town for a week, starting tomorrow morning. I'll see what I can do today, though.)

Do not worry, this will take much more than just a week. And the actual events won't unfold for about a week.

-------------------------------------
Aboard the RNS Phantom
-------------------------------------

http://www.f5.dion.ne.jp/~mirage/hypams04/ddx.jpg

The sleek bow of the RNS Phantom glided through the water at 18 knots. The seas were relatively calm, 2-5 feet, and the night-cloud cover made it nearly impossible to see. The Phantom was the latest Victorian Class Stealth Destroyer in the fleet, and she was commanded by Captain Alec Baltic. Alec was in the bridge, and he looked out at the dark sea, which swept over the bow. The blue light in the bridge gave aura of concern of possible attack. The destroyer was operating solo, 30 miles from the rest of the fleet

“Captain,” a junior grade officer was standing at attention. Alec turned around and raised his eyebrows in curiosity. “We have an Status 1 incoming satellite transmittion from the FFG-48.”

“Decipher it, and bring it to me,” Alec ordered. The junior grade officer went back to his station and began his work. Alec went over this in his head, Why would an Oliver Hazard Perry FRIGATE be transmitting a top level fleet signal? That would mean that the flagship has---OH GOD!

“Captain,” the Ensign turned around at his station. He gave a look of fear. “Here is the message.”

Status 1 Transmition
To: Phantom
From: Engage

The fleet is under attack. Signal RNS Night Sky for orders.

“Dear, God! Sound General Quarters! Lieutenant, get the Night Sky on the phone.” The captain briskly walked over to the radio control, a sailor handed him the phone. “This is Captain Baltic of the Phantom, what is going on?”

“Captain Baltic, the fleet is under attack. A few minutes ago, the flagship Ticonderoga class cruiser Warren was hit by a torpedo. Her bow shred to pieces and she began to flood on the lower decks. Then a missile went ballistic and it hit what was left of the VLS tubes, the whole ship blew apart.”

“What is the status of the rest of the fleet?”

“We are separating and we have launched all ASW helos. We have increased our surface scans and we have a blip on the radar north-northeast of us.”

“What are my orders?”

“Come up on our east flank, and push forward. Investigate the radar signature and take out as much resistance as possible. Signal your finds to the rest of the fleet. We seem to be dealing with submarines here, probably nukes….most likely Charlie class.”

“Orders, received. Phantom, over and out.” Alec hung up the phone. He turned to the rest of the bridge, now under a red glow.

“Come to course one-one-three. Right full rudder, all ahead full.”

“Right Full Rudder, All Ahead Full, aye, aye!” The ship rocked to one side as the powerful gas-turbine engines kicked in and powered the ship to starboard.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aboard the RNS Night Sky After 60 Minute Elapse
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Phalanx Mk20 went active and the powerful rapid-fire gun shook the ship as the rounds poured out of the barrels at high speed, hoping to hit their target. In this case, three anti-ship missiles were the targets, two of which were heading for a nearby Spruance Class Destroyer which had already been hit by a missile, which failed to explode fully.

http://www.montysminiguns.com/smallphalanx.jpg

“Captain, targets Vampire 2 and three destroyed. Vampire 1 still engaging.” The weapons control officer shot a look at the captain.

“Fire the Sparrows, I want that missile destroyed.” The captain ran down to the radar station. The ship shook from the missile launch, then a small explosion is heard in the distance. “Status?”

“All missiles destroyed, although in that last attack, that FFG-7 over there took a missile and is no longer responding. One corvette was lost to a torpedo, and one Seahawk ASW helo took a blue-on-blue missile hit.”

“Damn!” The captain ran to the communications. “Any word from the CINCPACFLT?”

“Yes, the 5th Pacific Patrol will be showing up within the hour. They have taken out two submarines and a fighter wing. No word on Stuttgart, all fighter wings have been launched and are moving to recon the surrounding areas.”

“Damnit, I hope we stop this!”

Hold on I'll wake up the region!

OOC: Ok, awoken, will try to print a rightly spelled Ruhr as many times as possible to make amense for my latecoming

Vegana Peoples Channel (VPC) report

The wonderful and peaceloving nation of Vegana has today been reached by diplomatic envoys concerning the region of Ruhr, That is RUHR as the river in germany, responding to our allies requests for help, Vegana is allocating two carriergroups to the Aid of the nation of Ruhr. MOving towards the coast outside Ruhr as we speak. Vegana has also moved 12 wings of fighter/hunter jets at full emergencylevel. We still have to see if any of our brave soldiers will be involved in fighting this mysterious threat that seems to be gathering in Ruhr

Do you need us to send any ASW choppers to Ruhr for aid?

OK,

For the new comers. Yes, Ruhr as in the Ruhr River Valley. However, because it is easier for defence and easy to sustain a large navy, I am in the Central Pacific.

And the attack has started. We do not need an aggressor, for one is already planned.

Do you need us to send any ASW choppers to Ruhr for aid?

YES!!! I do not know if it will be fast enough though. The attack has commenced.

Okay, we're sending 200 recently acquired ASW choppers to Ruhr for support. As soon as they arrive, they will be ready to leave to search for these submarines.

Am I too late to help, or can my fully rested military lend a hand?

Lupe,

Your presence is requested, and any forces able to hold off a land attack will be helpful.

Thank you, old friend,

Ruhr

White Tundra of the Nato Allience is at your command, Ruhr

White Tundra,

Thank you for showing up. Please prepare your troops.

I can donate the following in the period of 1 day (20min RL)...

-75,000 troops
-290 Tanks
-330 Choppers
-2 Fleets (180 aircraft)
-160 Artillary units (Big Tanks)
-130 Krackens (L1 or L2)

We can scramble these forces a lot faster if needed.

The choppers have arrived in Ruhr, refueled, and are heading out to search for the subs, commanded by now-legendary chopper pilot Dave Walts.

Luporum, if you can prepare these troops, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Luporum, if you can prepare these troops, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Not a problem, just ask how many troops you want and they'll be there.

Soon, Lupe, we will need a hefty proportion of them. As of now, we only need a defence line for my cities.

Vegana is flying in troops as we speak. Within 24 hours we will land 30000 inquisitors along with the 3:rd panzer division. If needed be we can parachute 100000 more infantry. Two carriergroups are closing in to the Ruhrian shores

Yeah, I'm gonna bring in all of my SOH-1 Stormblades. They're an attack VTOL that my country makes. We only have 120 of them, tho. They shall support the SOET if it comes to a land war.

“Chancellor, we have gotten word that Ruhr, our neighbor is under attack. How should we proceed?”

“As if you needed to as, Ruhr has backed us in many different situations, we will of course send all the troops we can General Vladimir. Do you have the updated list as of our troop positions and capabilities yet?” General Vladimir shakes his head to indicate to positive. Vladimir opens a black briefcase, nicknamed the football, which holds updated launch codes for all Missiles that White Tundra has. It also contains the updated lists of all troops, coordinates, and preparedness.

The list of all White Tundra Military units is as follows:

60 Transports
10 minesweepers
30 Supportships
60 jetfighters

And a total of 160 000 Shocktroops. the troops I've already landed are not included in these figures.

The carriergroups are also carrying:

Andrew Kane finished reading the report. Very interesting. Ruhr was under attack buy an as-yet-unknown enemy, after a curious string of terrorist incidents that, strangely enough, no one had thought to inform him of while he was in Imitora. Indeed, he hadn't had the slightest idea that anything was wrong in Ruhr until the Directorate called him up the previous evening. That was a bit of a surprise, he thought. Although Blackout Unit was technically under CSID command, they'd always given him final say in its operations. Still, he had to admit that he appreciated their initiative in this case.

Kane pulled up a list of forces that could be deployed to the area within 24 hours and scanned it. One item in particular caught his attention. So they finally got around to doing that last test... He started typing a message to Ruhr.

From: Copiosa Scotian Department of Security, Enforcement, and Defense
To: Ruhrian State Department

To assist you in the war you believe to be imminent, we are authorized to deploy the following forces with your permission. All forces listed below can be deployed within 24 hours.

1st Urban Division (6000 men) - est. 18 hours
2nd Urban Division (6000 men) - est. 18 hours
4th Cavalry (200 helicopters) - est. 24 hours

Kane paused before typing the last line. Then he almost smiled. Hey, why not?

ABDFL One - est. 16 hours

(OOC: You may have missed the thread, as no one replied and I never bumped it, but ABDFL One is our first airborne anti-ballistic laser, based on the U.S.'s real-life ABL project.)

Back on subject....

Back on subject....

The nation of Tiburon is crushing the Ayanoian rebellion, and is ready to send Leo mini-mobile suits into Ruhrian terrirory to protect your nation.

All forces standing by...

Bare in mind, Im only sending the Reserve Wing of my 7th fleet.....and I have 12 Full fleets.....The 7th is the only one operable within range.

Tiburon,

If it is possible to land soldiers in Ruhr, please do so. But by all means, if you have other conflicts to attend to, we have sizeable amounts of forces already mobilized. Thank you,

Ruhr

Ooh, think you are soo special with 12 fleets....

Tiburon,

If it is possible to land soldiers in Ruhr, please do so. But by all means, if you have other conflicts to attend to, we have sizeable amounts of forces already mobilized. Thank you,

Ruhr

Only one. And no one's responding to that RP, so I might just make that government implode or something...

Only one. And no one's responding to that RP, so I might just make that government implode or something...


I see, well...if you can...then please help. I was lying before....we are desperate for soldiers.

Only one. And no one's responding to that RP, so I might just make that government implode or something...


I see, well...if you can...then please help. I was lying before....we are desperate for soldiers.

*laugh* Roger that.

Nova: "Kiro! Hey, Kiro, wake up, will ya? The rebels aren't putting up that much of a fight. Not right now, anyways. You've got permission to send the 18th Mobile Suit divison into Ruhr." (And, yes, these divisions are as big as American IDs.)

Kiro: "Right. All units, commense operations!"

(OOC: I guess I can assume that my help is accepted then.)

Yes, you may. I am sorry if I had not responded...I am having a blast setting up the NationStates Cafe.

Well, if it's you that's setting it up, I'm in. I thought it was some n00bie.

No! No! No!

NationStates Cafe is MINE! Mine Damnit!!!!

*steals it* Muhahahah, its mine now.

Yes, you may. I am sorry if I had not responded...I am having a blast setting up the NationStates Cafe.

(OOC: I noticed. :) )

i missed like 8 pages. Can someone do a synopsyis real quick?

J/K about the n00bie. Sorry, noobies. I really don't hate you. I hate anyone and everyone who hates me (which is to say not a lot of people...) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Allright Everybody,

I am out for the night.

See you all!! And Derieties, Ruhr explains terrorist attacks, Europa Brittania finds the terrorist's escape ship, Ruhr releases second set of events, Ruhr declares state of emergency, Ruhr now in a naval battle with unkown forces, *cough*This is the war meant to start our NATO thing*Cough*

-Ruhr-

OOC: Leaving for the night. Back tomorrow! ^_^

Onboard ABDFL One
Nevada Air Force Base, Ruhr
Time unknown

Captain Christiaan Petrik set the heavily modified Boeing 747-400 down on the runway at Nevada Air Force base with a precision that belied the confusion in his mind. "Hey, Lance, how long did you say it's been since we went operational?"

"Well, if we ignore the time change, that'd be two days, twenty hours... and eleven minutes," replied Lance Whitaker, the plane's weapon systems operator. "However, if you insist on counting the time change, as some do, even though it's mathematically wrong..."

The airborne surveilance officer, Alan McColl started laughing. The two of them had gone back and forth on that subject the whole flight, Alan arguing more for fun than out of any conviction that he was actually right, and Lance good-naturedly playing along.

Lance continued, "...in that case, I have no idea, because I'm really not sure what time it is here anyway."

That drew tired laughs from the rest of the crew as Petrik resumed his thoughts. Three days since we went operational, and here we are in freaking Ruhr, of all places. Yesterday... or whenever it was... I'd have laid even money that we'd never even fire this thing in combat. But here we are.

The plane taxied to a stop, and at a nod from the pilot, the six-man crew disembarked.

(OOC: That's my last post for a week.)

The situation on the ship was of complete chaos, the upper deck and inner alls of the ship were laced with blood and bodies..a few fortunate or unfortunate enough to become wounded. Gunfire could still be heard as well as the shouts and screams of those fighting and dying. The most heaviest of resistance by the crew was Cargo Storage One and the Bridge, where the crew members there were trying to get the ship moving away from the Valencia. Within Section A011 was a storage room converted to be one of the main armories. Chan and his two men were stockpiling up on some assault rifles with a few explosives to go along with them. Chan turned to his men, "You two are to head to Level 2 at the Cargo Storage...I'll be heading up to the Bridge alone." The other two nodded and the three of them parted their ways.

**Cargo Storage One**
Fredrich and those with him continued pouring bullets in the direction of the Brittanian troops. Originally he was going to stay put and fight them all off as long as possible but he knew that by now they would of caught on and would try to open the door. He remembered that there was an alternate pathway that lead to the interior of the storage, he tapped the shoulders of three of his men and yelled out, "Alright! you three come with me, we're gonna head inside and set up a nasty surprise for them!" The three men nodded and immediately followed Fredrich as they ran down the corrider and disappeared into the darkness. After a few instances of turns, his group turned from three to ten troops as they finally reached a door labeled "Storage One Emergency Entrance". As soon as they entered, he gave the order to have the door sealed from the inside. "Alright boys..get to your spots and fire only when you got clear shots, this is where we make our stand." ...I can't believe I'm doing this... thought Fredrich, aware that this was just a delay of the imminent overrun...


OOC Note: Europa, I'm allowing you control on what happens in the ship from this point on. Just as long as Fredrich and a few others live.

"Wha..what is this?..." Jin was taken in complete awe in what he was surrounded by. Earlier they had visited what seemed to be an abandoned underground bunker nearby the city of Kusong. But he was mistaken as the cars were led to a large elevator platform which moved downward to reveal what he saw before him...A rather large complex that held variations of missile silos, workers moved in and out of buildings and tunnels as if it was a giant ant colony. Jin and the others were led by his father through more hallways and elevators till they reached what was seeming to be their destination, what stood before them were huge blast doors. Hyun walked up to the small pad device and pressed the comm. button. "This is General Hyun." He then inputs a code numbers before the doors began to slowly open, revealing onto the group a room filled near to the brim with computers and various other technicians.

"Gentlemen...I'd like you to meet ATLAS."

"ATLAS?..father, would you care to explain?"

"A.T.L.A.S...Aeros Tactical Launch And Strike system. It is our new missile defence system we set up. It runs on a combination of AI-scripts and human control. The AI gives us the info and options, we merely load and launch. Now..ATLAS runs on the basis of it being a defense weapon so it only responds to missile threats directed at us. The AI works to stabilize and control the entire network and silo functions..it is essentially the operating system. It gives us up-to-date info on any missile launches within our vicinity, checks up on the statistics of the missiles and silos, and as well even creates simulated scenarios to which to better our response capabilities...Any questions?"

"H-how long has this been in production?..And at-"

"It's been in the make for years...The cost for production was over a billion now, we expect ATLAS to be worth all of it however...Come, let me show you an example of how it works." The group walks over to the center of the control room.

"ATLAS.."

<ATLAS System Online> [Silo's at one hundred percent efficiency.] [No anomolies detected..] <Run System Check> [Operating System..fully functional]

Hyun inputs a few numbers, a code of some sort then states, "ATLAS, initiate Silo 3 in offensive scenario, master override implemented."

[Master Override confirmed. Initiating Offensive scenario 1145.]<Running Weapons System><Activating Analysis Data> [Silo 3 in preparation.].....[Silo 3 ready at 100%]

Hyun looks at one of the operators, "Have it target Silo 3 at Cheju" "Yes sir." The operator began typing in the coordinates.

<Override achieved>[Target Acquired: Cheju Island] [Confirm targeting].....[Target Confirmed] <Initiating Countdown>

Jin looked toward his father with a bit of intrigue.."You're launching a missile toward Cheju father?..." "Just wait son.." Was the only response he got. The countdown drew to a close... [Silo 3 Launched...Target: Cheju] [Target destroyed...Simulation Ended] <Shutting down Simulation Override>

"It was all just numbers and facts..but the results can be very real." Hyun smiled as he observed the impressed looks of not just his son but of the others that accompanied him. "Let's continue the tour..shall we?"

I shall lift 2 JOAPs into Nuremburg if thats okay. Wasn't that last rebel attack how the NATO started? I seem to remember fighting at the Airport and taking out SAMs.

The commander looked down on the table:
-"So this is the battleplans? "He mused. Slowly he nodded his head, following the lines and contours on the map. Yes.. his lord Jaar had been wise to send an extra carriergroup towards the other so far secret target. This might turn messy, very messy indeed.

Yes, the official first order of NATO was back in the "Documents Stolen (Serious RP)" Thread started by Haraki. My initial intentions were to creat something like the Berlin-Rome Pact, but without the fascism and crap....but it turned out that we had the capitols of four countries start with N, A, O, and then we wanted Celack to have a T, but Celack had to be gay and have some foreign language....so it turned out to be NATO because we made an acronym...

IC:

*Incoming Satellite Transmission*

Allied Commanders,

You have sent much help to Ruhr in the past few days. Infact, we now have the presence of twelve different national forces on Ruhrian land. Thank you. Right now, however, we are trying to figure out who has done this. (OOC: This is where it gets hairy, and the actual uncovering will be tonight. Everyone will be amused, and a great united force shall overbear the enemy.)

Aside from the general naval attack still occuring north of Stuttgart, there is no resistance anywhere else. We saw this coming when they took out the radar position on Stuttgart that enclosed the Ruhrian Territory. Thankfully, our fleets were able to move in at quick speed to close it. Right now, we have a pursuing naval battle. So far, four ships have been lost, with three damaged.

Destroyed:
1 Ticonderoga Class CG
1 Spruance Class DDG
1 Oliver Hazard Perry Class FFG
1 Ruhrian Class Corvette (I don't know the designation)

Damaged:
1 Arleigh Burke Class DDG
1 Los Angeles Class SSN
1 Ticonderoga Class CG

The 5th Pacific Patrol Fleet has been ordered as reinforcement and flank coverage for the 3rd Pacific Patrol Fleet. They are currently on the western flank and pushing Northwest and then around. Ruhrian E-3 Sentries managed to pick up a large fighter wing and a large bomber wing moving towards Hamburg, to the north. However, we managed to stop the attack and we suppresed it using Haraki's fighter wing.

OOC: I will finish my report soon...now that I am able to drive I need to bring my sister everywhere. :evil:

See you all shortly.

-Ruhr

OOC: Finally, I am back...lousy shopping..grrr....birthdays suck. I shall now continue with the RNS Phantom

----------------------------------
Aboard the RNS Phantom
----------------------------------

"Captain, closing in on enemy positions. Closest target now reads 26 miles." The lieutenant in the radar command turned back to his station. The Ruhrian version of the AEGIS Combat System has worked well so far, and was able to pick up missile launches and automatically transfer the information to the rest of the fleet.

"Good work, Lieutenant. Combat, have we firing solutions on any of the ships?" Alec was anxious to get in the heart of battle. For the last three hours he has been approaching slowly and undetectably. The sleek design of the Victorian Class made it easy to blend in on Enemy Radar. The Active Camoflauge (OOC: Western Asia gave me this technology) provided great coverage from any planes passing over, or any ship lurking undetectable in the distance.

"Captain, we have a firing solution on the destroyer on the far south, closest to our position." The XO was standing at that station since he was once a Combat Control officer.

"Excellent Work, Commander." The Captain raced to to the navigation charts. He was coming close to a shallow water section close to a small chain of islands. "Commander, when you have a firing solution on their flagship, let me know."

"Aye, Aye, Sir!"

Alec ran to the bridge. The Navigations Officer stood over the helm which was on the right side, that set up is so stupid, ehh...I guess when those engineers designed these Gas-Turbs they needed it like this. "Helm, Right Full Rudder, bring us to fifteen knots on course two-four-seven."

"Right Full Rudder, fifteen knots on course two-four-seven, Aye Aye!"

"Navigation, bring us between those islands, but let our radar have enough room to see the enemy fleet."

"Aye, Aye, Sir."

-----------------------------
Twenty Minutes Elapses
-----------------------------

The ship was now cruising at six-knots in between islands. The water was crystal blue, and the sun was now 1/4 into the sky.

(OOC: Ruhr is right on the International-Day-Time line, at 175*W 10*S in the Central Pacific)

Alec walked back to the CIC, where he sat in the chair in the center of the room, watching on the plasma-flat-screen-TV what was all around the ship. Every so often, jets and missiles would appear on the front screen, taking away the thought of pure serenity of the calm Pacific waters. Damn wars! Never get a chance to relax when you finally find the place! The captain always had bad luck finding the right place to relax until an event arises and he is needed on duty.

"Captain, 14 miles to the enemy fleet. We have visual in thirty seconds."

"Switch to Active Stealth," Baltic sat back in his chair fighting the arising tenseness of situation.

"Acitivating Stealth." (OOC: This is pretty much a US Navy DDX class, and it has this technology to scramble the radar arrays and fool about everything...so shut up!)

"Sonar, anything yet?"

"We are picking up three nuke attack boats about 5,000 yards infront of their fleet. That's all captain."

"Ok, good work."

"Captain, incoming signal from the RNS Night Sky. We are decoding it now." After about two minutes, the communications officer presented Baltic with this:

To: Captain Alec Baltic
From: Fleet Command
Subject: Orders

The Phantom is ordered to launch missile attacks on the enemy attack fleet. Hit the Flagship first, then any heavy support. After that, you are to leave the scene as quickly and undetectably as possible.

"Paul, send this back:

Orders recieved. commencing operation."

"Aye, Aye, Sir."

"Weapons, do we have a shooting solution on all ships?"

"Yes, sir. Shooting solutions on all ships."

"Good, select the flagship, and the top six heavy attack ships. I want five Juliet-V cruise missiles on each of them. Have the 155mm ready in case."

"Navigation, as soon as we shoot, I want us back on course to Stuttgart at 18 knots and ready to hit top when necessary."

"Radar, anything else?"

"Sir, there has not been a missile launch for 5 minutes, I think they are recomputing."

"Good. Commence the attack now."

"Commencing attack now. Launching five Juliets for each targets Sierra 1,4,5,6,7, and 9."

"Fire." The captain's stomach turned over when he ordered the attack. The ship rocked from the launch of 30 Juliet-V Cruise missiles at their respective targets.

"Navigation, take us out of here. Get behind that island and hit 24 knots. I want those Phalanx's armed and ready."

A chorus of "Aye, Aye"'s echoed through the CIC. The ship escaped without being detected, but not without drawing attention. 21 of the 30 missiles hit their designated targets.

Bumpity!!! I NEED HELLPPP!!!!

Two of my fleets have intercepted the enemy, and they are defending the coast.

One of my ships launched a cruise missile attack and 22 of the 30 missiles sent intercepted the top six surface ships of that fleet. Yet to be identified *cough*cough*.


Oh, and a change of plans, Issachar...we shall single out the enemy and have them drag alliances into this war since we do not want to declare a complete war on a whole alliance...that saves us trouble from the Triumvate of Yut.

Your fleet will be needed for the operation I have already spoken to you about. And the ignorant buffalo can't help...what a shame.

But we are still going to have to catch them inbetween. Which is possible but if they are directed on one route, then it would be much easier and lest cost-consuming.

Same thing, we need you to help destroy our target, then land your troops...then crush the enemy into submission.

Get it? :?: Got it? :twisted: Good! :wink:

Bumpity!!!

After reviewing the tapes, and the radar signatures, we are 95% sure that this was the work of Dragonisia. That is all the information we have though.

Yes, I should have seen it coming also. The evasive actions, the quick responses. It was bound to have happened. So far, the 3rd Pacific is taking a beating, and we utilized your air wings to suppress an enemy air assault towards Hamburg.

We shall begin preparations shortly. Our allies are ready, and we have prepared for this type of action. I am sending you the plans and list of allies in an attachment.

OOC: Hey Haraki, you have now made it on my avatar list of Addressees!

*End Message*

OOC: Hey Haraki, you have now made it on my avatar list of Addressees!

See??? GOT IT?!?!?!

Yeah, I got it. Nice, thanks. My system changes a lot, depending on what version they're using. Basically, what I remember, I put in.

LOL,

OK...

Back on subject:

Military Strenght of Ruhr:

4,200,000 Regulars
350,000 Marines
2,000,000 Reservists
200,000 Special Ops Night Force

1,000,000 Naval Regulars
350,000 Reservists

675,000 Air Force Regulars
225,000 Reservists
32 Air Wings with 96 Planes in each


Everything has been pretty much called in. And my fleets are operating where needed. And this is going to be one hell of a conflict.

Bumpity!!!

Unfortunately, my entire navy (very small) is designed to defend my three carriers. I could help on the water battle by sending fighters to hit water targets. As always, my forces are ready to engage the enemy on land. I won't be doing much direct combat. My forces will more likely convert to geurilla tactics to whittle down any attacking armies.

Sigma,

The plans have changed, but our goal remains the same:

Our Target: Dragonisia only. IF other EODS forces intervene, then they will be considered targets only because they have attacked.

OOC: Ok if I jump into this RP?

OOC: Ok if I jump into this RP?

Knock yourself out! We have a target: Dragonisia

And we are going to slap him silly.

A draft has been imposed in the Imperial Derien Dominion. 5% of the population has been drafted to the army, with ex-military personell and reserves going first. 95% of the military is fully trained, and 5% is currently completing training. Total military personell exceed 100 million, although 33% of these are support.

ooc: The IDD are puppets, but they were purchased ICly from allies as part of the Derien Expansionist Movement and they are now considered part of Derieties, not as seperate entities.

Derieties,

We have spoken of such a plan before. But it is important to note that our only *cough*target*cough* is Dragonisia himself. If the rest join him, and attack, then they will become enemy targets as well. However, if they do not, then it is just Dragonisia.

Understood?

-Ruhr-

I, sir, am not an idiot. Of course Dragonisia is our only target, and I will not be commiting all my forces, although they are all ready for mobilization if it is needed.

Derieties,

You have the Confidence of the Ruhrian Imperial Armed Forces.

OOC: Thanks! :)

IC: It is a busy evening in the Defense Department headquarters in the capital of Tradewinds. The president announced earlier that the TSF was going to be mothballed due to operational costs, leaving its officers scrambling for other positions in the AFT and then afterwards President Jacinto also announced the possible mothballing a portion of the AFT into reserve status, after heavy pressure placed to him by congress. A Staff Sergeant came into General Norman Ramos' office in the South Wing. Although with the events going on through the day, the General was already tiresome but still spirited.

"May I help you, son?"

"Um sir I think you should read this."

General Ramos opens the letter that was issued to him by the Staff Sergeant. The General's face then turned into concern.

"These attacks are occuring at Ruhr?"

"Yes General, the nation has declared a state of emergency and is calling on all availiable allies to help."

"I see... Well fat chance on mothballing the rest of the AFT! Looks like the President now will have a reason to go against those pigs in congress!"

The General gave a noticiable chukle before continuing on.

"Well what does this have to deal with me, son?"

"Um General, you have been assigned to command and oversee the mobilization, transportation, and action of AFT troops in Ruhr."

"I see."

The General nodded while answering.

"Well then I guess we better get this show going, eh?"

"As quick as possible, General. Request by President Jacinto."

"Ok well I'll begin making calls to the selected divisions, wings, and fleets.You just tell President Jacinto that the AFT operations will be all in my hands."

"Yes General"

"Get the 1st Paratrooper Division mobilized first."

"Why them first, General?"

"Don't you know son, they're the fastest to mobilize in the entire AFT! They'll be followed later by other troops once we make a announcement to the nation about our involvment in the war. Make sure to tell the boys in the war room that I'll be there later on."

"Yes General."

The Sergeant then walked out of the office, moving fast torwards the War Room. The General, looking out the window facing the capital, pauses and thinks.

"Mothballing my ass, the AFT is needed in the Alliance of Animenations as well as assiting our allies. Those cowboys in congress don't get it at all.."

Before we begin, I request a meeting of all theatre commanders via videophone or in person.

This will be the second official calling of NATO, and the first Ruhrian International Meeting.

Does anybody need any information?

OOC: I think I'm fine for now.

IC: General Ramos will be ready to esablish a videolink for the Ruhrian International Meeting. Lieutenant General Quezon, second in command next to General Ramo, is on his way to the capital of Ruhr but dosen't expect to make the meeting in time but will be hoping to report to the Ruhrian military command upon arrival.

Chris picks up his headset, facing his vid-screen. "I assume I'm Air and Intel commander, as always?"

*Encrypted Satellite Message to General Ramos*

Ramos,

This frequency being sent will be the same one for the video conference.

I am copying this message to the rest of the allied commanders.


-Minister of Defence Jack Fady-

Wait a minute Haraki,

We need everyone else to come and play!

Like...ME!

Our mini-mobile suit divisions will need to know where to strike.

Also, I'm making the civil war die down, because no one's responding to that thread... (cough, cough... that nation is here, cough, cough...)\

Also, why aren't I on the avatar list...?

No, I am working on the Avatar list now...I have all of NATO, and I have got Issachar, all of TGPA and now I am working on the rest.

Okay...

Nova: "I'll be in charge of the space forces."

OOC: No Space forces, this is Present Plus...so unless you want to be in charge of communications, and satellites...by all means.


"Only ground/sea/air forces, Ladies and Gentlemen."

"What about special forces? Black Ops?"

OOC: No Space forces, this is Present Plus...so unless you want to be in charge of communications, and satellites...by all means.


"Only ground/sea/air forces, Ladies and Gentlemen."

Aww.... what about mini-mobile suits?

Then I'll be Army. Mini-mobile suit style.

Basically, we all will need to combine spec-ops for the initial operation. (Which only NATO members know about)...This operation will take place...and all participating nations will hear about it.

The Participating Nations:

Ruhr
Haraki
Derieties
Celack
Sigma Octavus
Luporum
The Sean Empire
Europa Brittania
Copiosa Scotia
Issachar
Tradewinds
Tiburon
Azazia


Let me know if I missed anyone.

NATO will take command of operations...but I will be happy to give you control of one of the major planned operations.

I'm not a part of NATO, although I do consider you an ally.

May I join NATO?

Are mini-MSs acceptable?

Yes, You may Join NATO.

Generally, Derieties takes charge of Ground Forces, while I command Naval Forces, and Haraki takes the Airforces.

However, for this purpose, we are going to do things a little differently. Forces all across will be given command of their troops and expected to fulfill their duties correctly...(OOC: as I should be completing my essay, damnit)

OK....last post until I am done. I will be back in about 15-20 minutes.

Are mini-MSs acceptable?

Yes

Space capabilities OK?

Space capabilities OK?

No!!! NO! NO!!!

You see, the thing is...if we are going to ignore their dragons, and change them into Humans to be fair, then we cannot go on as far as space capabilities.

Basically, we all will need to combine spec-ops for the initial operation. The AFT is ready to pledge the 3rd Special Forces Infantry Divsion (aka 3rd Scout Ranger Division) to assist on the combined special ops campaign.

Ruhr, you forgot me.

Okay, okay, okay. Don't need to be so angry.

So only army and AF MSs.

I can back up spec-ops using the RGM-79Cs.
