AP Press:

In Remington City today, a bomb exploded in the office of the DEA, killing 30 agents. Taking credit for the destruction, the drug cartel run by the mysterious Mr. B stated that further acts of aggression will continue until such time as the government allows unrestricted drug trade through the nation.

In response to the act of terrorism, national guard troops were dispatched, and will work with local, state, and government law enforcement officials to utterly destroy the cartel. As well, assistance from other naions will be accepted if offered.

More on this story as it develops.

OOC: Nations may send troops if they feel the need to, but try to keep the numbers low.

OOC note about the cartel: Cartel forces are terrorist trained and well funded. They have various assault rifles, SMGs, and pistols. They have also been trained how to make explosives from household materials, as well as improvised explosive devices. Vehicles are various cars, trucks, and vans (may or may not have been armor reinforced with plate steel).

Memo from the Board of Miweenia:

Re: Drug war

We need to move on this thing, it's hot, and public support wanes if this kind of thing drags out. Ply patriotism first, then the children's market.

Make sure to look like we're on the governments side on this.

Oh, and get some diplomat over to the drug cartel. Someone disposable.

-The board

Remnants of the local DEA office, supported by national guard troops, stage a raid on a suspected drug factory. As agents break down the door, an explosion goes off (the door was rigged), killing 2 agents. Another agent was killed as he crossed an open window (sniper in another building). When the assault team enters the main room of the factory, a gun battle erupts. Outnumbered and taken by suprise, the cartel members make short work of the assault force. The drug factory was a trap, and the local DEA force is wiped out. More troops are sent to handle this problem.

We welcome your troops, and thank you.

how many?

how many?

There shouldn't be any need for more than 1,000 troops, at this time. Intel suggests that at the most, the cartel numbers in the low hundreds.

Mr. Damien Bryce
Minister of Foriegn Affairs

OOC: An important note is that the mysterious Mr. B is Mr. Damien Bryce (the government does not know this). He's lying as to the number of cartel members there are (the cartel's numbers are more than 1,000). Also, he has scavenged weapons and equipment from the last raid.

very well, we will send 500 special forces legionnaires, and 150 members of the black watch,(our intel/s.e.a.l. troops)

they will arrive in two NS days

very well, we will send 500 special forces legionnaires, and 150 members of the black watch,(our intel/s.e.a.l. troops)

Upon reading this, Damien Bryce became a bit nervous. Intelligence agents were already troublesome, and foriegn agents were worse. He'd have to see if he could get his operatives in the intel office to slow the investigations, so he would have time to cover his ties to the cartel. Once he gained enough political power, he wouldn't need to cover his ties. He'd eliminate the High Council, and appoint himself the absolute ruler of TGB. Once he figures out what to do about the foriegn intelligence agents, he site down to plot the next move in the war against the government.

OOC: This will be my last post for a while (I've got some stuff to take care of before work).

OOC: tha black watch fellas are like th CIA to even more extreme

IC: colonel jonathen kesal disembarked the jitanese military transport in remington cityalong with the rest of his black watchmen
"so this is TGB, hm."
"sir, all troops have offloaded. what are your order?s" inquired kesal's second in command major tyler black
"form them up and get them ready for travel, i expect the TGB agents here any minute"

Tomus Cone, Diplomat from Miweenia, has been sent on a commercial airline (coach) to discuss affairs with the cartels.

"Peanuts?"
"Ummm, no, thank you."

He lands without difficulty, and passes through airport security, and continues on his mission.

He would begin at the street level, explaining carefully his intent.

When agents from TGB's DEA office arrive, they escort the operatives from Jitano to their temporary offices. There, Jitano's operatives are shown all the data they've currently uncovered. Jitano's special forces troops are lead to the staging area for the national guard, and shown similar data.

News reaches Mr. B that a representative from another nation is asking around, trying to contact the cartel. Mr. B sends out a car to pick up this individual, and lead him to a safe house. There, they will find out what this other nation wants.

jitanese satellites enter orbit of TGB, looking for any possible safe houses, black watch men are dispearsed throughout the capitol in teams of no less then five

The cartel is made aware of the presense of the Jitanese Black Watch, by the numerous snitches that are located around the capitol. Preparations are made to defend safe houses if necessary, and all non-essential equipment is moved out of the safe houses. They hope that they can talk with this other foriegn agent before the safe houses start to come under attack.

jitanese satellites have pinpointed one house on the outskirts of town, possible cartel stronghold, soldiers are moving to inspect, about 150

Cartel members are loading supplies into various vehicles, when the lookouts spot the Jitanese forces. The 40 cartel members scramble to get out the back way in the vehicles, but TGB's DEA and national guard have blocked the only escape route with 50 troops and 4 HMMWVs. Thirty of the cartel members run back into the house, to set up defensive positions, while others try to drive through the Jitanese forces (they can't fit their vehicles in the back alleyway while it's blocked). Cartel members start to open fire on the Jitanese forces in the front, and TGB forces in the back. 12 DEA and national guard are wounded or killed. TGB forces return fire, and 8 cartel members are currently dead or wounded.

OOC: Jitano, I'll wait for your response before I have my troops do anything else.

3 jitanes spec forces wounded, 2 dead, returning fire,

bump

East Islandia will send you assault rifles (please specify caliber), munitions, body armor, tanks, and attack helicopters (modified A129 Internationals bought from Agrigento).
we cannot commit troops as we are engaged in a war currently.

OOC: Sorry, but I've been unable to get on in the last few days.

IC: 10 Cartel members are injured or killed by the Jitanese return fire. Also, one of the drivers of the cars (that's trying to run right through the Jitanese forces) is hit, causing him to lose control and slam into the building.

TGB forces use the HMMWVs as moving cover, as they attempt to enter the building. They get within 50 feet of the building when cartel forces start throwing molotov cocktails and other improvised explosive devices. Two of the HMMWVs are disabled, and the others stop where they are. TGBs wounded increase by 6, and there are 7 more cartel members wounded or killed from their exchange with TGB's forces.

TGB's forces: 18 wounded or killed, 32 healthy
cartel forces: 25 wounded or killed, 5 healthy
Jitanese forces: ?

the number of dead increases, 4 dead 7 wounded, jitanese forces are retruning fire, a few fire grenade rounds at the cartel members, and the house, jitanese satellites are tracking TGB and searching forA) more cartel bases B) those cartel members who have escaped, the jitanese forces wish to know if they can bring 10 MiL-hind helicopters in for support

We thank you for the offer, but we do not currently need supplies to deal with this threat.

The last of the cartel members inside the building falls victim to the withering fire from the Jitanese forces. Of the 10 cartel members that were in vehicles, only 2 have escaped the area (the rest of the cartel members are killed, and the cars destroyed).

TGB's Minister of Foriegn Relations Damien Bryce, replies to the request to bring Jitanese gunships into the nation with the following statement.

"At this time, we cannot give permission to bring foriegn gunships into TGB's borders. We can however, allocate a squadron of our own AH-68 Mongoose helicopters (12), to support allied forces in this conflict.".

Meanwhile, the 2 escaped cartel members are going to attempt to hide their vehicles and their location from any sattelites that may be trying to track them. They pull into a busy parking garage, and search for suitable "replacement" vehicles. Once they aquire them, they transfer all the equipment to the new vehicles, and rig the old ones to explode if tampered with. Then, they wait for a chance to leave the parking garage inconspicuously.

jitanese satellites are searching the surrounding areas for any other cartel houses, the jitanese black watch agents are attempting to find the two escapees

The 2 escaped cartel members leave the parking garage mere minutes before any Black Watch agents can arrive. They split off, and visit another parking garage, where they switch vehicles again. Then, over the course of the day they slowly make their way to other cartel owned properties (businesses that double as drug factories or distribution centers).

Mr. B gets a report about the safe house that was hit, and hopes that his forces can protect the other safe houses better. If only his forces could get some heavier weapons, then they could push back law enforcement officials. He had also sent some staff members to look for an assasin to take out members of the High Council, so that he could begin his drive to rule TGB. He had to play it safe though, so that there could be no direct ties between him and the cartel.

colonel kesal looked at the ruins of the cartel house, a scowl spreading across his face,
"something wrong sir?" asked a unsuspecting officer
"a proble? a problem? you're damn right there's a problem we only got one house and didn't manage to catch any cartel members!" kesal turned around and made for the command truck, opening the door and glaring at the tech he demanded "anything?" in a tone which clearly conveyed his anger," n-nothing sir, we're trying to get a visual on other houses."
the startled tech replied, kesal slammed the door at him, turned to his second in command and said:" get every last man on the street bust every two-it drug dealer and junkie you can find, i want locations of cartel houses and names, and numbers, now." he said moving at a brisk walk, " yes sir." replied the major

Mr. Cone offers the cartel quiet government support (guns, electronics, etc... all with a lack of identification) at discount prices. He also recommends looking over the value of not having drugs legalized within a target country.

The cartel representative that meets with Mr. Cone asks what his government can supply, when it comes to surveillance/anti-surveillance devices, body armor, heavy caliber weapons and explosive ordinance (rpg's, mines, C4, etc). The cartel representative states that they can pay with cash (that's been "aquired" through various means) or with the cartel's product.

OOC: Sorry, I've been having some problems logging into NS. I'll let you determine whether you find another safe house with your sattelites and/or troops (just don't find them all :wink: ).

The cartel representative that meets with Mr. Cone asks what his government can supply, when it comes to surveillance/anti-surveillance devices, body armor, heavy caliber weapons and explosive ordinance (rpg's, mines, C4, etc). The cartel representative states that they can pay with cash (that's been "aquired" through various means) or with the cartel's product.

The Miweenian representative offers a wide range of surveillance/anti-surveillance equipment, and impressive body armor. Heavy caliber weapons and explosive weapons are not used much in Miweenia, and will need some time for development... thus the cost would be higher initially. C4, and a derivative named C6, are available (as well as det cord, and various other detonation devices). The people of Miweenia would be most happy to deal in cash, and keep the relationship discreet. Also, some fully loaded gunboats are available for sale, but Miweenia lacks the ammunition for the heavy guns. That would have to be procurred seperately.

Mr. Cone is required to mention that, internal politics aside, it's not very profitable to run a government, and that demand rises as supply is restricted. If a balance of cost/profit can be achieved, this would be optimal, without destroying the already existant infrastructure.

The cartel representative will pass along the political information to his superiors. As far as equipment, the cartel representative is authorized to place an order for 500 suits of body armor, 10 surveillance/anti surveillance devices, and 100 pounds of C4 (with the necessary supplies to use it effectively). Finally, the cartel representative would like to ask Mr. Cone if his nation can start some research into rpg's and mines. The cartel can pay in cash for all of this, all they need is the price.

AP Press:

Today, a terrorist bomb went off in Remington, aimed for High Councilman Dirk Dales. Fortunately for High Councilman Dales, the bomb (which was placed under his car) was underpowered and ill timed. It did manage to start the unoccupied vehicle on fire, but was unable to penetrate the armor plating.

High Councilman Dales believes this is a direct response from the cartel that TGB and Jitano is currently waging war with. In a press conference later on, High Councilman Dales promised to smash the cartel once and for all, using as much personnel and materials as necessary. To that end, SpecOps forces have been put on high alert, and will begin operations in the near future.

Mr. Cone offers to propose anti-personnel and heavy armor weaponry development to military researchers and procurement (for reverse engineering). "The usual channels will be used for delivery of the aforementioned, an estimate of 200,000 for the anti/surveillance devices can be given, 100000 for the C4 and equipment, and somewhere around 150000 for the body armor. Totaling less than half a mil, cash discount of 10% (currency dependent, of course). First time customers, we'll call it 400000 even, no delivery charge; sales tax, or the usual red tape, okay?"

the jitanese government is requesting to bring in more troops to back up the troops already situated

After the high council convened to discuss the matter, a reply to Jitano's request was sent to their government. The reply was an authorization to bring in up to another 500 troops, and 100 intelligence forces. Vehicles will be provided for the Jitanese personnel while they are within TGB's borders (HMMWV's and Blackhawks mostly, unless a specific request is made).

The cartel representative feels that the offer is a good one, but warns that the country that Mr. Cone represents, that they would have to get the equipment to the cartel without alerting TGB's forces, and without being found out by the Jitanese (the surveillance sattelites are going to be tricky). The cartel can send the money with Mr. Cone (a wire transfer could be risky), and will give him an address to a warehouse that the equipment could be shipped to.

Mr. Cone accepts the money. "We believe we have ways of avoiding satellite detection. Most of the goods travel here shall be by submarine, and we have a satscram device which should prevent transmission of satellite pictures to ground terminals for about 12 hours. It should be enough."

Mr. Cone then leaves and makes his way to the airport.

****************************************************
4 hours later a call comes in to the Jitanese embassy. It's from a pay phone from the airport with a very simple message.

"Sat coverage of westward shores will be successful."

the new imperial troops have arrived, under colonel tom hanish, jitanese satellites are tracking suspected cartel members, rumor has it that outside dealers are infiltrating the cartel

OOC: Sneaky, Sneaky! I think it might just get a little bit more interesting now. :) Now for some more background. The warehouse is located in one of the port towns near the capitol. It sends and recieves shipments of fruits and vegetables (it's probable that this was explained to Mr. Cone, so that the shipment could be marked so it wouldn't attract attention). The warehouse manager is unaware of any extra dealings, and there are 10 cartel members among the legitimate warehouse employees.

jitanese forces are planning a raid

A small blip occurs on the western coast, perhaps a submersible rising. Close up satellite pics show clear markings of a Samustani vessel. The vessel reaches the beach, in a small abandoned alcove, and people begin to unload themselves and long pine boxes.

OOC: Samustan has been TG'd regarding this thread.

Work progresses as normal in the fruit and vegetables warehouse. Ten of the warehouse's employees (the 10 covert members of the cartel I'd mentioned before), keep an eye out for the equipment from Miweenia. Once it arrives in the warehouse, it will be put aside, relabeled, inspection stamped, and shipped to another location (all without the crates being opened, and without the manager's knowledge).

The 10-man team quickly disassembled some of the longer boxes as an 11th man prepared to submerge the vessel, giving them a final wave before doing so.
The assembled boxes made wide craft capable of hauling the rest of the load and 2 men each. Confidently they made their way down the coast, smooth waters easing the passage.
They arrived at the warehouse, dressed as locals, shortly after noon. It was hot, and they simply nodded to any questions until they found their man. They impatiently handed over all but one box, which they insisted was for them, and then departed.
As they boarded the boats they felt light-hearted, knowing that brothers of the revolution would be working hard to bring down the capitalists. They would certainly do their part. Patting the one remaining box, the Samustan trained terrorists started inland at the mouth of a river, looking for a major city.

[edit: Jitan might go for the raid in about the middle of this post. If 'yes' then will edit again to reflect that.]

jitanese black watch agents storm the building, no shots have been fired yet,

[edit: Jitan might go for the raid in about the middle of this post. If 'yes' then will edit again to reflect that.]

OOC: this is assuming Jitano's raid occurs either during or after the drop off.

IC: The warehouse manager (obviously agitated because of the rudeness of the Miweenian people) yells at some forklift operators to move the boxes over to another area where the packages will remain until inspected and compared to the invoice. The cartel members quietly note the location and quantity of the crates, and will move in after the warehouse closes. They will relabel the boxes for export to a produce distributor (another front), where they will be re-packaged, and shipped to the final destination.

OOC: None of the cartel members are armed, and there's only 2 security guards (they are also unarmed, as this is only supposed to be a fruit/vegetable warehouse). The worst they can do is yell, "Stop, or we'll call someone".

just barely after

A scream is heard from one of the female employees as the Jitanese Black Watch agents storm the building. One of the guards approaches the agents and says, "Hey, you can't be here. Leave before I report you". Most of the other employees either cower behind boxes, machinery, or anything else they can find. Some of the employees stand there with confused looks on their faces, and a last group puts their hands in the air, showing that they won't resist arrest. The warehouse manager walks over to the person he believes to be in charge, and yells, "What are you doing. You're going to cause all of this fruit and vegetables to rot if we can't do our jobs".

OOC: There's no offered resistance to Jitano taking the building by storm. The cartel members are dispersed in the crowd of employees, and look indistinguishable from the innocent workers.

OOC: i hope it's all right that i hit this guy, and these cartel guys have to have some indentifying thing, a hard to find tatoo maybe?

IC: the butt of the agent's C-7 hits the manager in the stomach, he doubles over in pain " you will not be detained long, we are merely looking for any cartel agents hereabouts"

OOC: Well, I don't think the cartel members will give your men any "lip".

IC: The warehouse manager empties the contents of his stomach (cream of mushroom soup, a vanilla milkshake, etc) as a result of the attack. After he is finished he yells, "Cartel? We are but honest workers trying to make an honest wage".

Suddenly, a woman dashes for the nearest phone, in an attempt to call TGB's police force.

she is allowed past, the black watch agents are confident of their position here,

OOC: i'm not good with subtlety, check the lips?

she is allowed past, the black watch agents are confident of their position here,

OOC: i'm not good with subtlety, check the lips?

OOC: There is a tatoo on the inner portion of the lip (curl back the lip, and it should be at least partially visible).

IC: The woman dial the police emergency line, and informs the police that an unknown group of men have seized their building, and have beaten her boss. The police dispatcher sends out a hostage negociation team, and notifies SWAT.

Once arriving, the police quickly realize that this is an anti-cartel operation, being conducted by the Jitanese. The DEA and military are notified, and the police are re-assigned to help with the investigation.

the lieutenant in charge orders all of the people to curl down their lower lip, those with tatoos are arrested

10 workers are found with tatoos on the inside of their lip. One of the 10 requests that they be taken to a TGB jail, as they have seen the kind of treatment the Jitanese deal out.

the black watch agents allow it, but bring the rest in for, interrogation

the black watch agents allow it, but bring the rest in for, interrogation

OOC: You're still arresting everyone? The one that requested a TGB jail meant it for all 10 people with the tatoos.

IC: The other workers begin to throw half spoiled fruit and vegetables at the Jitanese agents.

No, if he wants he can go, but the rest go with our guys

No, if he wants he can go, but the rest go with our guys

The others with the tatoos also demand a TGB jail cell. They claim they are afraid they will never see their families again. TGB police are hauling away the suspect who spoke up first, and the police commander requests a conference with the head of the Jitanese Black Watch agents, to discuss the disposition of the other suspects.

OOC: gonna have to log-off soon

lieutenant marshall steps aside with the TGB agent, cautioning his troops to watch those men

OOC: gonna have to log-off soon

OOC: I've got to go soon, too.

IC: The TGB police commander says to the Liutenant Marshall, " We have no prior experience with what a suspect's rights are in this case, as your nation is the first one that is performing legitimate operations in our country. We feel however, that we should err on the side of caution, and transport them to one of our jails. We can always release them to your custody later.

"all right, but if he walks, i'm sending a man after him

The 10 suspects are transported to a maximum facility jail, located in the capitol of TGB. There, the suspects will be interviewed, arraigned, and held until trial. All interviews are taped (both audio and visual taping), and 2 Jitanese agents are allowed at each interview.

Secret IC: Mr. B tells one of his aides, "We need a way to prevent the authorities from learning any more about our operation. Send out discrete messages, to trusted nations, concerning the hiring of someone to quiet the suspects they have in custody.

satellites are tracking the areas in and around the two cartel hotspots we've located

OOC:
Hmmmm. What to do with 10 terrorists running around Jitano with undisclosed equipment. Think, think, think.

OOC:undisclosed equipment? *sighs* black watch agents carry either a C-7A1 or one C-8 carbine, aswell as a glock nine mil, and a survival knife, with a maximum load of ammo, there are two satellites which have been moved into orbit around TGB for this RP

Miweenian intelligence direct the recovery of the terrorists using undercover agents and extremely subtle misdirection.

Samustan has jept a low profile in this conflict in hopes that it would go away. Yet its ongoing nature prompts Samustani military action to defend its economically beneficial opium cartel. A wave of terrorist attacks will ensue.

any actions you take against TGB will be severly punished

Movie deals are being negotiated in Miweenia regarding a possible conflict between Samustan, Jitano, and The Gun Brothers. It's expected to show Miweenians as simple businessmen caught in a triangle of treachery and deceit.

Tomus Cone, voice for the CEO, has not had any comment regarding the situation, but has denounced terrorism without first securing commercial rights in the past - suggesting that Samustani terrorism is immoral, lacking profit.

The board has released a set designed to encourage citizens to rifle through terrorist pockets and steal their clothes after a sound beating. "Terrorist" has been defined as anyone carrying a bomb, WMD, or caseless ammunition.

TGB is attempting to break the cartel, not support it. Also, any hostile attempts of force will be met with the appropriate force necessary to protect TGB's citizens.

TGB's DEA agents conduct the interviews with the 10 cartel suspects. Nothing is learned, except that the tatoos were old cult tatoos (cults are technically legal in TGB). The suspects can only be held for another 24 hours, before they are either charged with a crime, or released.

release them into jitanese custody

Mysterious individuals bearing the inner lip tattoo of the cartel have been reported roaming the country searching for a way to contact Mr. B. Disguises are reported as perfect, as national origin cannot be determined with any certainty, and any identifying markings make them appear to already be members of the cartel.

release them into jitanese custody

The local police commander asks, "For what purpose? Do you have information that we don't? If you do, then we may be able to charge them, and keep them in custody."

Police records are found for all 10 suspects, but they are all for minor drug violations, or other misdemeanors. DEA officials are trying to get a court order to plant hidden trackers on the suspects, release them, and hope they lead the authorities back to the cartel.

Mysterious individuals bearing the inner lip tattoo of the cartel have been reported roaming the country searching for a way to contact Mr. B. Disguises are reported as perfect, as national origin cannot be determined with any certainty, and any identifying markings make them appear to already be members of the cartel.

OOC: Which way are you hoping to play this? Pro Cartel, or Anti Cartel?

IC: Mr. B starts to hear these reports, and seeks to further eliminate any paper trail that could lead from the cartel to him (OOC: there's only 2 people that know who Mr. B really is, and those people are also extremely well hidden in their ties to the cartel). He's pretty certain that with the raid on the fruit and vegetable warehouse, that he was sold out by that other nation's agent (OOC: Miweenia's agent), or that their methods were sloppy enough to allow Jitano to track them.

OOC: I'm attempting to support the cartel.

IC: An identical newspaper ad appears in every newspaper in the country. It reads "For sale. Chevy Nova in poor repair. Handy-mans dream. No engine. $15000. Home: 555-3940 Work: 555-3959"

OOC: Both of these numbers are government numbers not available to the public. It is a message that we are offering help.

A man stands at a pay phone, and dials 555-3940.

black watch agents are still tracking suspected cartel members, agents have been checking the inner lip of suspects

A court order is given to plant hidden trackers in the effects of each suspect. Once the trackers are in place, the suspects are released, and are given their property. They are then released from custody (and will hopefully lead authorities back to the cartel).

OOC: how detailed a going over is the weaponry going to get? Miweenian arms went down to the local library for a copy of "Jane's" for Samustani weapons types.

Jitanese agents are monitoring trackers

Jitanese agents are monitoring trackers

OOC: Sorry about not posting for a few days, I've been having computer troubles again.

IC: The ten trackers lead to a few different places (various shops, etc) in the capitol, and then to the fruit and vegetable warehouse, and finally home. Around midnight, they all leave their houses, and arrive at a parking garage. All 10 suspects then leave in a vehicle (that the cartel left for them), heading out of town.

OOC: The transmitters are discovered by the cartel. The suspects are told to meet up with some other cartel members, to discuss options. When the suspects meet with the cartel members, the suspects will be killed (the vehicle is wired to explode when it gets out of town), in order to prevent the leakage of information about the cartel's whereabouts.

the jitanese agents and soldiers are being recalled for leave, new troops will be brought in their place, the same amount, the empire is requesting another satellite in orbit,

AP Press: A car bomb exploded today, just outside of TGB's police academy (there were reports of some injuries, but the bomb was too far from the academy's main hall to be very effective). Later on, an audio tape was delivered to the city hall, where a heavily distorted voice claimed responsibility. The voice stated such random acts of terror would continue until such time as the cartel would be able to operate freely. The voice also demanded a removal of foriegn forces from the nation.

The tape was sent to the police forensic sciences lab to be analyzed, and the High Council has refused to comment on this latest development. Some government analysts have theorized that this latest violence was perpetrated due to the Jitanese forces reorganization of troops.

More on this story as it develops.

jitanese reinforcements have arrived, lead this time by a pandion knight, sent by the emperor himself, and armed with the latest weaponry, jitanese agents have begun a sweep of the major cities, no sign yet of any cartel houses

OOC: how am i supposed to find the damn things?

jitanese reinforcements have arrived, lead this time by a pandion knight, sent by the emperor himself, and armed with the latest weaponry, jitanese agents have begun a sweep of the major cities, no sign yet of any cartel houses

OOC: how am i supposed to find the damn things?

OOC: I'l let you determine what/where/if you find them. Here's a hint, though. The cartel likes to use food/beverage based businesses for their labratory/distribution/storage locations(although that's not the only types of businesses they own for that purpose). Cartel safe houses tend to be based in large apartment buildings (multiple apartments on multiple floors). They usually have some sort of small food/beverage based business next door (or in some cases, in the building itself). Checks for ownership of both the types of property will show that, at least for a small time (sometimes as short as a day), they were owned by the same person who owned the first safe house you raided.

One question I had was, what is a pandion knight?

IC: A pipe bomb was found and detonated by members of the police bomb squad unit today. The pipe bomb was located in a large playground at a local park. The device was discovered when an annonymous tip was phoned into police headquarters. Along with the tip was a warning, that if authorities didn't back off, the next one wouldn't be found until too late. The police attempted to trace the call, but were unable to, due to the shortness of the call.

OOC: a pandion knight is the emperor's personal guard, they are the most highly trained and skilled warriors in the entire empire(HEY A RHYME!)

IC: given the last raid to a food warehouse the jitanese agents will be searching all warehouses and checking the employees for tatoos and questioning them for further information

Secret IC: Due to the renewed fervor of the Jitanese agents and the arrival of the pandion knight, Damien Bryce (Mr. B) starts to formulate a plan to keep from being discovered as the leader of the cartel.

IC: Many warehouse employees are confused by these searches and questions. Some employees have heard of the fruit and vegetable warehouse raid, and figure that this is just a part of the war against the cartel.

OOC: So, did you find anyone?

OOC: um, let's say i found two for now,

IC: sir Jonathen Talas, the Pandion knight looked at the prisoners through the one way glass "have they told you anything?" he asked the young lieutenant in charge of interrogations "no sir, but if you were to step in for a moment i think they might change their minds" Talas smiled to himself,
"all right, give me a minute to prepare myself."

"all right, give me a minute to prepare myself."

OOC: Keep in mind that there's only 2, maybe 3 people that know who Mr. B actually is (and those people are high ranking government officials that aren't known to be involved either). However, the people you captured might be able to give up a fair amount of safe houses, labs, and distribution centers.

OOC: will do!

IC: Talas stepped into the interrogation room, standing at just about 7 feet tall, he was a well built blonde with a perpetual scowl, instead of asking the two prisoners were any houses might be he stood and looked at them, finally pulling out a chair, he sat down and drew a cigarette from his pocket, still staring at the pair in the room, one was sweating, the other had a baffled look on his face, after about a half an hour of silence the sweating one spoke up "what do you want with us, we're just hard working warhouse employees!" he almost screamed into the Knight's face, Talas, regarded him calmly and blew a puff of smoke in his face, then standing up, he met the sweater's stare. "you will tell me,now, were each and every drug house, factory and lab you know of is, or i will remove parts of you that you need very badly." he said it calmly, as if he was speaking to a friend, the sweater blinked and sat back down...

The one that was sweating says that if they give the Jitanese the information that the knight is asking for, what's to prevent the cartel from killing their families, and eventuall them? He's asking for protection for him and his family, in exchange for the information. The one with the baffled look on his face hesitates for a minute, then agrees that if they are given new identities, he will also cooperate with the Jitanese and officials from TGB.

"All right, if you cooperate with us we'll give you protection, if need be we'll ship you to Jitano, now tell me where those houses are!"

"All right, if you cooperate with us we'll give you protection, if need be we'll ship you to Jitano, now tell me where those houses are!"

The 2 men give a list of all the cartel properties that they know of (2 labs, 1 large scale distribution point, and 4 safe houses). Once the information is in the Jitanese hands, they practically beg for immediate asylum for themselves and their families in Jitano. They state that the cartel has many hidden eyes, and very soon, the cartel will know who talked.

Elsewhere, ....

TGB police in the process of chasing an armed robbery suspect, discover a cartel safe house. Unfortunately for the officers, the cartel was there in full force, and were quickly killed (but not before radioing into the station). TGB's liason with the Jitanese quickly notifies them that a strike is planned, involving TGB's police, DEA, and military (basically, an invitation to the Jitanese to join in). Cartel forces are probably aware of the imminent strike (tipped off by the presence of the officers that discovered them in the first place), and have either fled the scene, or fortified their position in the building.

Also, ....

Secret IC: Damien Bryce's plan to quietly end his term as leader of the cartel is proceeding smoothly. A fabricated bank account is set up, documents are forged, and soon the authorities will have the cartel's "leader" (dead, of course).

the jitanese forces in TGB will participate in the action against the cartel, following that they will raid all cartel locations given them by the informers, who are already on their way to Jitano wiht their families

TGB's forces are mobilized for the raid, under the command of the DEA. The plan is as follows: Military and SWAT snipers are to be positioned in nearby buildings, 12 SpecOps troops are to fast-rope from Blackhawks onto the top of the target buiding, and members of the DEA, SWAT, and 12 other SpecOps will be arriving at the building in armored HMMWV's (the helicopter assault will be timed to occur at the same time that the HMMWV's arrive). Extra forces, armor and helicopter gunships will be ready in case the situation escalates too much for the allocated forces to handle.

The plan is flexible enough that it can be modified around any plan of attack the Jitanese are formulating.

Jitanese procedure for a storming of a building is surround and destroy, your plan should work out fine

Jitanese procedure for a storming of a building is surround and destroy, your plan should work out fine

DEA officials are concerned that there may be innocent people in the building as well as the cartel, which is why they are holding back the more powerful aspects of this anti-cartel task force (tanks and gunships, specifically) unless absolutely needed.

The snipers are in their assigned positions, and the HMMWVs and Blackhawk helicopters en route to the target building.

The HMMWVs arrive, precisely timed to the arrival of the first 6 SpecOps on the wide, flat roof. Once all 12 SpecOps are on the roof, they prepare to enter the building, via the door leading to the stairs. Checking the door for improvised explosive devices (and finding none), they enter the building, with their M-4 carbines at the ready. On the ground level, the main door is also checked for IEDs, then the second SpecOps team enters the building (they are also carrying M-4 carbines). The ground floor SpecOps are backed up by the SWAT team (with a mix of MP-5k SMGs and TGBs combat shotguns), and the DEA (armed with Desert Eagle .50 cal pistols).

The first thing the ground force comes across is the corpses of the slain police officers (their weapons and ammo have been taken, as well as their badges and identifications). Going with a room to room search, they find nothing on the first floor. They do, however, find a heavy steel door that has been barred from the other side (this door leads to the basement).

The SpecOps that arrived on the roof are making a similar sweep of the top floor, with similar results (although they do find ash, some shreddings, and remnants of documents that have been burned). There is also some miscellaneous drug paraphenalia scattered around.

OOC: This is a 5 story building, with a basement. The ground floor is clear, as is the roof and the top floor.

jitanese forces are advising an immediate pull back, suspect bomb in or around building, jitanese forces are doing this

DEA officials hear the Jitanese advisement, and decide that it is best to err on the side of caution. All forces are pulled out of the building, and will coordinate their efforts with the Jitanese forces.

requesting a satellite sensor sweep of the building and surrounds, the sweep will be completly non harmful to humans and should be able to pinpoint a bomb if there is one

requesting a satellite sensor sweep of the building and surrounds, the sweep will be completly non harmful to humans and should be able to pinpoint a bomb if there is one

Authorization is granted to the Jitanese to do the sensor sweep.

Jitanese satellites have found a small incendiary device in a dumpster outside the building, fire teams are attempting to disarm it now

the bomb haas been deactivated, but the building still seems too quiet, recommend small three man teams move in for reconnaisance missions

Two teams are sent in to recon the building. Police canines are also brought to the building to help in the search. Snipers are still covering all openings in the buildings. The building is searched, and nothing major is found on any of the 5 above-ground floors (some scraps of half legible documents, drug paraphenalia, and loose rounds of ammunition. TGB's DEA is itching to find out what's behind the heavy steel door, so that this building can be listed as secure. The head DEA agent turns to TGB's SpecOps leader and the commander of the Jitanese forces and asks, "Any suggestions for safely opening that door?".

the jitanese agent unclips a small sphere from his belt, whispers into it "2 metres linear wavefront detonation" and tosses it at the door, after a second the door disappears in a flash of light the agent turns and says "and that is a matter disintegration grenade"

TGB's SpecOps get ready at the top of the stairs leading into the basement. One of the law enforcement canines races downstairs, and a few moments later, some barking and gunshots are heard. Smoke rises up from the basement, and visibility is nil (due to the smoke, and lack of lights). The leader of TGB's DEA yells downstairs, "This is the DEA. Throw down any weapons you might have, and come out with your hands in the air". He is greated by bullets sprayed up the stairs, and is wounded in the shoulder. The SpecOps are ready to go in (they are prepared to use flashbangs to render any sort of nightvision useless, then send the dogs, and follow using thermal goggles), but will wait for the Jitanese forces.

Jitanese forces have entered the basement, visibility is still poor but have captured one dazed man, will await further orders

OOC: Hey, can I join, in sending elements of the 5th Core SWAT Regiment (plus Blackhawks), and a couple destroyers to intercept gunboats? and can the SWAT carry M-16 laser rifles or is this strictly bullet tech? The laser bolts are the 'bullets'.

OOC: Hey, can I join, in sending elements of the 5th Core SWAT Regiment (plus Blackhawks), and a couple destroyers to intercept gunboats? and can the SWAT carry M-16 laser rifles or is this strictly bullet tech? The laser bolts are the 'bullets'.

OOC: On joining in, I won't have a problem with it as long as Jitano doesn't. There isn't a naval threat by the cartel, so destroyers (I'm assuming mod-tech destroyers) wouldn't be needed. Also, regular bullets would be preferred, I'm trying to keep this as modern tech as I can.

Jitanese forces have entered the basement, visibility is still poor but have captured one dazed man, will await further orders

The DEA agent in charge wants the captured man brought to the closest police station, for immediate interrogation. TGB's SpecOps have swept the rest of the basement area, and have found nobody else. DEA searches the basement, cataloging every scrap of paper in an attempt to gain information about the leadership of the cartel. Some of the scraps mention Mr. B, while others refer to an individual by the name of Daniel Barrister. Once all the evidence in the building is cataloged and carted away, DEA seals the building.

The leader of TGB's SpecOps confers with the DEA agent, then walks up to the leader of the Jitanese forces and says, "Nice work in there. DEA wants to get this stuff back to their office to be analyzed, and they're sending someone with the suspect to interrogate him, so I guess they won't be accompanying us to the next raid. You have the help of the SWAT teams and us though, so whenever you're ready, lead the way".

the Pandion Knight smiled at the younger man ahead of him, and nods slightly then reaching to the headphone on his left ear he looks up "we have action, coming from the third raid location, looks like they're trying to stir up trouble, let's get some men over there pronto, forget #2 for now, this is serious, agent, if you'd like your men can accompany us, i think we might need reinforcements," turning into the wind he shouted " what?! charlie i can't here you, say again" a voice came from the headphone "i repeat they have rocket launchers and heavy machine guns, we can't hold them off for too long, we need help out here bad! get everything you got over here man!" the transmission cut out with a burst of gun fire, the jitanese black watch agents form up in front of their leader " all right men, you know what this is, class three breakthrough, get in get out heavy enemy loss, don't get yourselves killed, on the double move your a-- to the third site for extraction, MOVE!" he boomed and started off at a run for the third location, the black watch agents had been doing this sort of thing for a long time and were very adaptable to long distance runs...

TGBs SpecOps and the SWAT teams are en route to the firefight in the HMMWVs and SWAT vehicles, while the DEA is on its way back to analyze the evidence collected so far. Also en route to the firefight is 4 AH-68 Mongoose helicopters (loaded with 2.75" folding fin rockets, 30 mm chain guns, and 4 Hellfire missiles each), as well as local police and army personnel. The police are in riot gear with body armor, armed with shotguns and/or pistols, and the army is equipped with body armor and TGBs caseless rifles.

OOC: Regular bullets it is, though tracers do look like lasers, lol!

IC:
The 2nd and 3rd platoons of the 5th SWAT Battalion piled into 4 Blackhawks, and lifted off. Their mission? To head into Gun Bros. and attack druggie and terrorist targets. ETA? 4 hours, plus refueling.

Anytime there are drugs involved, you really should let my country know (if we don't already, considering our massive and impressive surveillance projects). This is simply a warning.

jitanese forces have reached the third raid site, and relieved the inadequate forces there, a fierce firefight has ensued, but for the most part jitanese forces have them pinned down

OOC: Sorry, I am again experiencing computer problems that are keeping me from logging in during my free time. This problem will go away once I upgrade from this 380 Mhz POS computer, to something resembling a computer from this decade.

jitanese forces have reached the third raid site, and relieved the inadequate forces there, a fierce firefight has ensued, but for the most part jitanese forces have them pinned down

IC: The TGB SpecOps, SWAT teams, and the gunships arrive at the third raid site. Snipers are deployed to positions that will allow them to effectively take out offensive cartel members, and yet cover any entry team. The gunships start taking fire from the cartel's small and heavy arms, and respond by returning fire with their 30mm chain guns. The gunships are ordered to pull back out of the range of enemy fire when a rocket takes out the tail rotor of the lead gunship (the pilot survived, but the gunner was killed due to the impact of the helicopter into a nearby building).

The army and local police arrive, and take up position to support the Jitanese and other TGB forces. A laser designator is brought in one of the army transports, and is set up to illuminate where one of the cartel members is firing rockets (in fact, the same one that downed the gunship). Once the target is lit, and once the gunships get a good lock, a Hellfire missile is launched. It tears into the building, and explodes.

Jitanese agents swarm the building and check the dead and wounded for incriminating paraphenlia, a few drug related thigs were found but nothing spectacular, the Jitanese commander is signaling that troops should make their way to the next target site and allow TGB officials to do a more extensive investigation of the ruined building

A police detail is left behind in order to secure the site until the DEA can be dispatched to catalog all the evidence (an army detail is left behind as well, to secure the gunship crash site). The army personnel load up into the troop transport trucks, the SpecOps into their HMMWVs, and the SWAT teams into their vans. They are following the Jitanese to the next target site, and the remaining gunships are en route as well. 4 M1A2 Abrams tanks are to move into a quick response position nearby, in case the firefight takes an unexpected turn.

Jitanese troops are aproaching the building cautiously, expect heavy resistance now that the cartel has been alerted to the raids, request TGB personnel move on all cartel houses and lock down the area

TGB SpecOps, SWAT teams, and Army move onto the next house on the raid list (a drug lab). Snipers are setup with specific fields of fire, laser target designators are setup in case the gunships are needed, and 2 M1A2 Abrams tanks are called into a rapid response position (out of the range of the firefight, but able to affect the battle within minutes of being called). No reistance is reported at first, with the SWAT team moving in from the front door, as the SpecOps enter from the rear of the building. Once the army personnel start to move in towards the building, gunfire erupts from the neighboring buildings. Army casualties are heavy due to the ambush, but the snipers start to even the odds. An armored vehicle tears out of the alley on the far side of the building to the west, in an attempt to escape. The tanks and gunships are notified that it's hit the fan, as well as to the fact that there's a vehicle escaping. The gunships arrive immediately, and the lead gunship gets a target lock on the vehicle. The gunner sprays the vehicle with rounds from the 30mm chain gun, in an attempt to disable the vehicle, but it explodes in a huge fireball. The cartel members back at the firefight don't fare any better, as one of the Abrams tanks fires off a round, serverely damaging one of the buildings. The SpecOps and the SWAT teams, supported by army personnel, clear out the other building of cartel members. Of the evidence collected, most of it is either drug paraphenalia or labratory equipment (although one of the documents lists the name Daniel Barrister, a name that's shown up on documents found at an earlier raid).

Total casualties of the battle:

12 army personnel, dead
17 army personnel, wounded (some critically)
4 SWAT members, dead
1 SpecOp, dead
1 SpecOp, wounded (seriously)
48 cartel members, dead
2 cartel members, wounded (1 seriously, 1 critically)

right, sorry i was off for so long,

Jitanese forces are continuing to scout out possible locations of cartel members

DEA agents analyze the evidence collected so far. While the evidence is mostly paraphenalia, there are a few documents (or remnants of). Many of the documents pertain to the cartel's methods of manufacture and distribution, and a few more contain locations (most of which have already been raided). In many of the documents, the mysterious Mr B is referred to (already established as the cartel leader). Out of all the documents however, only 2 refer to a Daniel Barrister. Law enforcement agents are having difficulty getting information on Mr Barrister, as there are no records with that name (may be an alias).

DEA agents radio the Jitanese forces, as well as TGB forces, with the unchecked locations mentioned in the documents. TGB forces respond by saying that they are heading to the first location mentioned.

jitanese forces are ready to begin furthere raids on cartel locations, first a brief stop off to resupply and then back to work...

OOC: kinda looks like it's drawing to a close huh?
