The Automagfreek Situation [IC only] [Archive]

13-10-2003, 23:28

The claws of winter raked the lands of Whispering Voices, the northmost nation in the Devil's Desert. Where they howled through the rough mountains, snow peeled away like flakes of flesh, dancing and whorling in the air, form patterns that could be read ... by those who were wise. Symbols and spirals that murmured the secrets of the past ... and the future.

Over the shoulders of peaks that stood grim testament to the geological violence, and over battlefields still stained with red that showed how the men and women that lived their followed the pattern the winds blew, heading south into other lands until eventually their lust for stealing the heat of life was sated.

In one particular part of the barren, almost-uninhabited landscape, Lord Commander Aurelius Blackdon stood with his aides - several still injured from the recent rebellion. A topographic globe of the world, surrounded by geoids and magnetic fields projected via light systems, helped him guide his thoughts. Projected onto a nearby screen, a map of Automagfreek glowed.

http://www.angelfire.com/super2/freekisland/freekisland.jpg (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=79411)

Lists of allies, of enemies, of troop numbers and estimated deployments ran along boards similar to those found in many twenty-first century stations, that flickered up names and trains and times. The news was pretty much as had originally been expected - a number of militarily-proven countries versus unknowns and those with no previously-displayed tactical skill. Nevertheless, the sheer number of hostile countries was rather surprising.

Aurelius frowned, rapped upon an oaken table with a wand-like device. The men and women in the room - mainly middle-aged, a few young, and a table full of retired officers - the sounding board - looked towards him.

"Alright. Our preparations are made." He tapped upon the map of Automagfreek. "About a quarter of our redundant forces are currently elsewhere - the sixteenth in Resi, the seventeenth to twentieth expeditions on training in the Reich. However, that leaves us with five more expeditions that we need to scrap, and the new Townsend carriers. So we're doing better than expected on the ground. Now ... our spacefleet is going well. The New Babel is mass-producing better than we could have hoped; our biorhythm systems and other methods of ensuring worker happiness are allowing us to almost keep up with Santa Barbara. Initial indications show that our fleet is perhaps the strongest likely to be fielded - Sentient Peoples has a longer running one, larger and with technology we cannot assess. And the Eternal Dawn fleet is far larger, but to the best of our knowledge works on a very different military thinking strategy. The fleet will be ordered to maximum engagement range.
Mobilisation is to take place immediately of standard assets. However, we're waiting upon some research from the Black Citadel before we actually take action. Questions?"

The military advisory panel whispered to each other, their voices carrying in the still of the room. One, an elderly gentlemen with a bushy white beard, then turned to Aurelius. "Might I ask what our priorities are, Lord Commander?"

Aurelius smiled, and, as the world raged far above on the surface of the earth, the destruction of their enemies was explained in gruesome detail.

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

The metal sheathes that surrounded New Babel ... of assorted sizes, their numbers obscured by each other, began venting exhaust. Slowly, they lumbered away from the guaranteed safety of the orbital defences, and away. Out into space ...

where the far deployment of distant Brilliant Arrows warmed up on pre-given targetting data, and prepared to strike ...

and the Jameson class communications stations in orbit above the Devil's Desert activated their exotic matter M-theory pulse arrays, effectively cutting off alternate-dimension-based FTL from working anywhere near the regional orbital area ...

and far below, the raging winter all but hid the mobilising of the Eleventh through Fifteenth expeditions. The Whispering Voices fleets - ever huge - had never had so many ships mobilised at one point. The establishment of naval supremacy would be of crucial importance: the army believed to be possessed by Automagfreek was many times larger than the Voices ground troops ... but had nowhere near as much materiel.

The large buildup of the Whispering Voices space fleet has not gone unnoticed by Alvar intelligence services. Without any operatives in the country, they are relying on their satellite surveillance network to give them the relevant information; in this case, they are more than enough. Confirming their account are reports of the WV mobilization by Alvar patrol corvettes, lightly armed vessels making their runs above earth space.

As the Foreign Ministry gets word that the attack seems to be comencing as they speak, a heavily encrypted message is sent to the Whispering Voices government and military.

"The armed forces of Alvarezistan request permission to join your space fleet in the current military action against Automagfreek. We have witnessed his brutality firsthand; our human rights inspectors had the good fortune, or bad depending on your point of view, to witness and document these atrocities first hand. New Sparthan citizens who have settled in our territory have been agitating for months for us to take action against Dreadfire and his cloned hordes, and quite frankly our government agrees.

"Currently we have 10 corvettes, two heavy destroyers and a single carrier ship available and ready for deployment and four divisions prepared for a possible assault. Our intervention could draw men and material away from your own fronts and result in lower casualties for your forces. We understand if you do not wish outside interferance, but we stand ready to fight with you against this menace. Say the word and we shall launch; or do not, and we shall stand down and keep our knowledge of your orbital mobilization silent."

The Cspallan Space Force 1st Star Fleet hangs in orbit over Automagfreak, watching the developing situation. So far no orders have come in for them to start fighting on either side. As a matter of fact, they actually had orders not to engage unless some fool attacked them. Admiral Susan Anderson, the fleet's commander, sat in the bridge on the battlecuriser CSF Cskornan, one of the newest in the CSF. It was then that a sensor officer shouted, drawing the attention of all on the ship's bridge.

"Alert! Some kind of jamming just went up. Looks like we won't be able to use our inversion drives,in this area." he said, flashing up a map off the affected area on the main viewer.

"We may...with some modification. Our drives don't really depend on entering an alternate dimension, just creating one around us. If we play around with particle density somewhat, we may be able to hit FTL speeds. But no promises here. This is very iffy." The engineer fiddled with his panel, analyzing the jamming systems.

"Get on it. I don't like this at all."

"You know," the ship's XO said, "If they are trap us here, could be called an act of war."

"I know, I know," said Susan, "I'm calling home for orders. I'll be in my office."

At the request of Warlord Damien Dreadfire, the SLDFN Terran Defense Fleet and the Terran Strike Fleet have established orbit over Automagfreek. This taskforce comprises 406 warships including 20 capital ships, 812 escort Nekohono'o escort dropships, 273 Shiva Aerospace Fighter Regiments (50 fighters per regiment), and 96 Defiance Aerospace Intercepter Regiments (50 fighters per regiment).

OOC: Honestly, I've cut my fighter compliment a bit short because the numbers didn't come up as a diviser of fifty.

A series of twinkling lights change pattern in the sullen dark of space around the Earth. Geosyncronous around the Devils Desert and the most advanced of its class the idiot savant of the detection satelite did exactly what it was told. It registered the disturbance, refined, checked with its neighbours and wrapped the knowledge in a little bundle of light that shot through the heavens faster than the eye could see. Its destination was the next node in the relay and soon the information centres of the DAMOCLES system were picking up the data.

The system and its opperators became away of the 'nibbles' at the edge of its detection envelope by the Alvarezistani craft. But nothing would be done against what could be recon for many reasons... nothing but increase the alert level of the systems and a reaction to such probes had already been superceded by the word from Whispering Voices.

The detectors were online, the terminals were man day in and day out.
Friend of Foe, Right or Wrong, by Day or Night... if they came then DAMOCLES would see... and the 'Desert would know.

Control noted a problem.

AMF was not reacting to the fighter deployments as expected. That called for a change in strategy.

Recall.

Within minutes the fleet was in position, hovering above the Atlantic ocean.

Fighters began to launch. From the surface, from the ships.

They joined those deployed from the station.

3000 fighters formed up in front of the Battle Fleet, with the First and Second Task Groups attached, as well as a few other ship that had been completed.

Drive fields sparked to life, protecting the ships in their near invulnerable embrace, caressing space, ready to leap forward at 300 gravities when it was called of them.

Then, from the station, a massive launch.

Missile pods. Five hundred of them. Twenty Kinetic Kill missiles apiece. The newest generation missiles, capable of 3000 gravities of acceleration, with mass drivers imparting an initial velocity of 3 percent of light speed to the 1000 kg missiles.

They would scream a painful song as they fired, blanketing Earth's orbit with a powerful buzzsaw of jamming. But they held their fire.

Then another five hundred missile pods launched. And another.

Soon three thousand missile pods joined the fleet, ready to fire.

***************

Approaching Mars at 30 percent of lightspeed, the 3rd and 4th Federation Task Groups, on their way home from Titan Space, went to Condition Two: Prepare for Combat, Engagement Emmenient.

Kinetic missiles slotted home, and Gauss-effect cannons prepared to fire.

As soon as they fired, their missiles would begin their trip to 42 percent of lightspeed, and the cannons would speak at 45.

***************

On the surface of the planet, engines whined as Peregrine fighters readied themselves for flight, and Aurora bombers began to lift off.

Submarines, many cruising on the surface, slide underwater, hiding themselves in the warm embrace ot the ocean.

Defensive lasers powered up, and missiles slotted home on all the ships of the Federation Naval Forces.

Army groups began reporting to their assigned bases. Equipment was checked out. Weapons loaded, armor put on.

The Dropships readied. Twenty minute deployment time to AMF. One army group could be deployed per hour.

Within Five hours, the entire offensive might of the Federation could be striking AMF.

***********

Control, could she have smiled, would have.

As the SS ships passed through Mars space, the First Mars Detachment fired up their engines, and pursued, at a distance. Their numbers were small, yet they were the most advanced vessels in the entire Khristian Space Fleet.

The Aelosian Fleet remaining in orbit, their engines, weapons and shields turned off, in full stealth mode.

The Captain of the ship sends a message to the Admiral "Sire, What are our orders?"

Admiral D'nan was waiting for a battle, but it looks like he must to wait once again. "Just stand by, the EOTED sent a message asking the Aelosia's goverment to remain out of this conflict. We will act only if they ask for our help"

"Yes, Sire, so we will keep the ships in stealth mode, then?"

"Of course, we will remain motionless and undetected"

Emperor Traiden rushed back to his ship as quickly as possible, leaving the feast. He was aboard the EB Dreadnought Sown Fortune, in low orbit of Earth. As the ship made ready to Jump into Hyperspace, the Emperor looked out of a small window. Before him were ships of all sizes and classes, makes and models, all holding orbit over AMF territory.

Icarus sighed heavily and brushed his hair back, "My god… something so grand is going to take place… over something so… little. AMF hasn’t don’t anything wrong… and yet… EOTED as well as others are hell bent on removing the Sentinels from power. The conflict with New Spartha… all the talk of death and destruction… couldn’t anybody see it was just a farce, a scare tactic to render the people of that country spineless? No… they think that if you say something… it will actually happen."

Traiden chuckled and took a small sip of wine as he continued his self speech, "I remember an old poster… during WWII… it read, ‘When you ride alone, you ride with Hitler!’ Do they actually mean your going to ride with Hitler… no. They are simply… exaggerating a situation to try and get a point across. “We’ll burn your kids in acid” or whatever hogwash Damien said… was nothing more than that… hogwash. It saddens me that the act of one has drawn so many to this conflict."

He finished off his glass, and repaired to his chair, giving one final glance to the fleets around him.

"I am even more troubled yet that Eurdyian lives could be lost over this. I have not the backbone of AMF or Pantera, I am not so willing to destroy my fleets to protect someone... whether he is righteous or not. I fear that the Directorate will feel much the same way. All of these people, EOTED foremost… ready to destroy countless lives for the sake of an ideal.

Even though Sentinals may be genetically engineered… and have a subdued conscience, they are still human and just as deserving to live as those few New Sparthans who were ‘massacred.’ I have a sinking feeling in my heart this day… that people will die for no reason at all. You may call the reasons pride, or justice, or righteousness… but in the end those things are as tangible as the air we breathe.

While they may both be needed, the former is not something to die over. It is not something to be used as a guise, simply to incite war and unrest about the populace. Nay, it should be justice, or righteousness that preserves life, that prevents the wanton killing of people.

What I am witnessing right now is the perversion of everything I have been taught, and everything I hold dear. I truly do not know what to do."

On the ground in the Empire of the Eternal Dawn... nothing happens. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. No troops rushing to and fro to prepare dropships; no frenzy of communications between soldiers and loved ones before deployment; nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. Nought.

* * *

Out in the Bay of Turath, however, things are a little more active. Warships slowly edge towards the outer reaches of the vast stretch of water that nigh-on splits the Empire in half; the most strategically important area of the Empire, in fact. He who controls the Bay, controls the Empire.

With that in mind, the IDF N is clearly staging every warship at its disposal. And there are hundreds of wakes visible in the Bay; only a dozen or so ships are actually visible, however - suggesting that the majority of the activity is submarinal.

* * *

In the Atlantic ocean, the Vanguard Battlegroup sat absolutely silently still. Yet comms activity from ground-to-orbit was definitely hot; millions of lasers whip back and forth, each one containing a fragment of the total data being sent; multiple communications systems are in use, ranging from mundane radio waves to EMF flux systems and microwave tightbeam transmissions. None of the above contain any whole signal; and every signal is encrypted. The data is spread about, and as such, is absolutely impossible to intercept.

The data passes through the MISAT network rapidly, and the network shifts position almost as quickly; for an instant or two, several hundred new tiny but powerful EM signatures flit about in orbit... and then fall silent.

If anyone has the sensor resolution to see it, at least a dozen MISATmk2's and mk3's have shifted position into a high orbit above Automagfreek. The mk3's remain visible; their massive profiles (for mere satelites) are not exactly difficult to spot, and their high carbon content might well raise a few eyebrows. There are two mk3's deployed; both, if any intelligence specialist has the information available to them, are identical to the model deployed several months ago.

And if the intelligence specialist in question has particuarly solid information, they might well feel somewhat terrified; MISATmk3's are designed only for one thing: to carry the Empire's most powerful, fearsome weapon... designated as a 'one-shot fleetkilling emergency deployment system', the deployment of not one, but two MMFLDs (mono-molecular flux lash devices) is surely enough to give anyone pause for thought.

Not bothering to keep quiet about it, the MISATmk2s - armed MISAT's, designed to defend themselves from attack long enough to identify their attackers - scour Automagfreek with their sensor suites. Low-level EM radiation bounces off the ground far below, returning to orbit the next instant, and the data is crunched, and fired back through the network. The procedure repeats as the satelites build up detailed, high-resolution images of AMF; the satelites pinpoint army bases, airfields, anything that looks military; and then they pass the data through the MISAT network, eventually to arrive at IDF High Command in Nenya.

Radio transmissions inside Automagfreek promptly dissolve into unintelligable static under the bombardment of EM radiation; the scanners in orbit are so potently powerful that they effectively unleash a white-noise blanket on the planet directly below - it isn't an intentional effect, but it's damned annoying for the nation in question, at the least.

<<Siri Queldas, monitoring station, Queldas, Nikea>>

Major-General Yurin Yaskalaitel watched the DAMOCLES monitors nervously. He had his orders, and they were crystal clear. Nikea was going to have no military part in any endevours into Automagfreek, should they occur. The Dominion has little relations with either nation, and the alliance once shared with Automagfreek was long dead. Any foray into this mess would only end up hurting Nikea.

Yaskalaitel knew he had an important duty, however. With Whispering Voices on the northern edge of the Devils Desert, nations such as Nikea and Tarrican were responsible for monitoring the southern portion of the region. General Yaskalaitel's orders only called for Nikean military action should the Devils Desert be threatened by any hostile forces.

Yaskalaitel picked up his phone. "Yes.....Nothing is to be done to the Alvarezistani fleet.....keep on the lookout though. I want readiness increased to its maximum possible level, and all DAMOCLES detection centres in the country are to watch their detection systems as closely as possible.....things don't look good for a peaceful solution. Be ready to go on orders, these are directly from Air Marshal Arenitel."

He hung up the phone and sat in his command chair. Things were likely to get a bit tense around here for a bit.

Greetings.

Nikea would first like to reiterate its pledge of moral support for the actions of our ally Whispering Voices and the Empire of the Eternal Dawn. President Tinuviethel feels that the government of Automagfreek has long continued to ignore reasonable suggestions to improve relations with other nations, and believes that a change in leadership is necessary to provide stability both in the nation of Automagfreek, and the international community. Given this moral support, Nikea pledges no military forces, as Nikea believes the current nations involved to be more than able to bring the operation to a successful conclusion.

However, we must state that our claim of armed neutrality ends with any hostile incursion into Whispering Voices, or any other Devils Desert nation for that matter, and believes than any such action would be folly. The Nikean Self-Preservation Force is ready to defend the Devils Desert.

Alvar spacecraft have begun to mobilize over earth orbit. The small space fleet is quickly assembled; two heavy Battle-Axe destroyers, 10 Dagger class corvettes, two Laithian defense corvettes, a Salek class carrier ship, and a single missile destroyer. At the moment, the ships appear to be holding a standard Alvar defensive formation over the country's orbit, and the official government line is that that is exactly what they are doing.

The Dagger's, however, are bearing a rather strange cargo. Rather than their standard complement of drone fighters, the ship's external racks appear to be carrying some sort of vaguely pod shaped device. What it could be is anyone's guess; for all a passing vessel would know, the corvettes are carrying relief supplies or additional fuel tanks; exactly what they are designed to look like.. Only a detailed, close in scan would reveal their actual contents.

First off, it's nice to know Nikea, whom we have long resected, has turned their back on us. This will never be forgotten.

As for the rest of you, we did not want this war. We left the discussions saying "leave us alone, that's all we want". But noooooo...that wasn't good enough, you just had to pick a fight.

The peoples and Sentinels of AMF stand ready to defend ourselves from you heathen aggressors. Across the globe, many nations are flocking to the banner of AMF. Your invasion will be stopped in it's tracks, and your armies will break like waters on the shore. You will find nothing but death and torment in AMF. Your soldiers will learn a very personal lesson in pain at the hands of the Sentinels/

YOU wanted this fight, not us. You are the ones that lust for war, not us. We shall bring you the blood and fire you yearn for, as we send you back the rotting corpses of your battered men.

You have started this, and we shall finish it. Come to AMF if you dare.

The Rush to war buy EOTED and their allies is discusting. Many are justifying their actions with claims that have little or no evidence, and do little to convince those who are still thinking rationaly. The call for war had been issued with this ridiculous proposal. Now many are joining the ranks of EOTED not to seek justice, but only in order to feed their imperialist hunger. EOTED's attempts at diplomacy have been laughable. Their list of demands was unreasonable by any standards.

EOTED has claimed to justify this war in order to search for justice. Has EOTED become the Judge, Jury, and Executioner for the world? Couldnt a mutlinational force investigate what happened in New Sparta? Couldn't the entire world find out the awnswers, instead of the EOTED? EOTED has tried none of these paths, and only seems to be on the path of war. This makes EOTED's motives highly suspect. S.A.V.I.O.U.R. is in discussion about the current state of things, and a verdict will be issued soon.

The computerized recording repeated itself over the intercoms all across the Neo-Wuwian space fleets. Officers and enlistees alike were preparing for war, to defend Automagfreek from invasion. Many understood what they were going up against, and knew that they might not be returning. It mattered not to them, though, for the men and women of the glorious Imperial Tiger Armada have been taught to fear nothing. Dozens of battleships, frigates, and other vessels of destruction fell into warp jump formation, waiting for the order to enter Neo-Wuwian airspace.

Whispering Voices would like to point out that indeed diplomacy was given a chance, and hosted by a neutral country - the Vortex Corporation. Automagfreek's representative walked out after it was evident that they were willing to make no concessions.

Automagfreek threw away the chance for peace by snapping the olive branches offered to their nation.

We walked out after saying SEVERAL TIMES that all we want is to be left alone. BUT NO, that wasn't good enough, you wanted to get something out of it for yourselves.

YOU threw away the chance for peace, not us. You have nobody to blame but yourselves for this.

We feel that we almost have an obligation to publically show some type of support to AMF, for we too have been in the same position. We too, have felt the hands of imperialism grip our throats and leave no breath for diplomacy. The EOTED claims to be of good intentions but everyone knows that every decision they make is not for the better of the world, but for the better of their imperialistic regime! It was only some decades ago when my Great Uncle, Nathan Jon, fought off EOTED oppressors from Rukemian lands, who had ruthlessly invaded with little to no warning. We were smaller then and EOTED much larger, this must prove to you that they can, contrary to popular belief indeed, be defeated.

Greetings.

We wish to respond to your statement directly concerning our nation.

The Nikean government reminds Mr. Dreadfire that the agreement between our nations originated in the Kaye Administration. Ties since then have gone stagnant. We note that Automagfreek has never asked Nikea for any aid in any respect over for a long while, and even now, when you are threatened, we still have not received any request from your government about aiding you in any manner. It is then safe to say that the diplomatic ties have long gone cold.

Also, when Nikea was embroiled in a harsh civil war, a request for aid from all allies was ignored by Automagfreek. We were only assisted by the Dominion of Rhinara, to whom we owe a great debt. Automagfreek ignored Nikea in our time of trouble, and Nikea has not forgotten that either.

We do not respond well to threats. The Nikean government has made it clear that we will take no military action unless either our nation, or the Devils Desert has been provoked. Please reconsider any threats in the future, as we are confident that you do not have the power to threaten Nikea in this manner.

The government of Whispering Voices finds most nations go to negotiations willing to actually negotiate. Sadly, not Automagfreek it would seem. That being said, let us waste no further time with words.

~ The ships' engines began to hiss louder and louder, until the computers announced the machine was prepared for a jump into Automagfreek's airspace. The first fleet to leave was Hammer, followed by Gothic and Anvil. The remaining three fleets struggled relentlessly to mobilize.

With a deafening boom, the fleets of the Tiger Armada reached Automagfreek. Regrouping with their fleets and dispersing into battle formations, the fleets began to revert the power from the warp engines to the weaponry...~

Statement from President McDermont.

8:03 PM, CST
OCTOBER 13, 2003.

The recent actions of EOTED have caused our nation to get involved in the protection of a longtime ally, Automagfreek. I will ensure that his nation is not ravaged by barbarians, such as Whispering Voices, and that he will not lose yet another ally. Certain traitors have turned their backs upon a nation which they have been allied with for a long period of time, simply because the enemy is a match to face. This is despicable in my eyes, and intolerable.
Nikea will not be seen lightly by me as long as I am President of Isla de Penguinata. It has betrayed Damien Dreadfire, and therefore has insulted me personally. Vengeance shall be ours one day. :evil:

Icarus Traiden was on Eurydian soil once more. The Sown Fortune’s landing craft had touched down directly in front of the Directorate Main Assembly; an emergency meeting had been called.

As Traiden stepped toward the double doors leading into the massive hall, Samson and Albaan, his two advisors, flanked him.

Samson, the larger and younger of the two men spoke. When he did, it seemed like a low rumble. ”Sir… the meeting has been called… all that awaits is you. This has caused an uproar in the Directorate… these claims by the EOTED. Some fear though that AMF was too… closed-minded. It is a mad house in there, Emperor.”

Traiden burst through the huge double doors and immediately knew what Samson had said was true. Indeed, shouts and accusations were flying across the hall in a haphazard manner, being directed at who knows. Traiden shook his head and quickly took his seat on the throne. Immediately all talking ceased.

”As you know… their has been major unrest on earth as of late. The EOTED and AMF are on the brink of war. I come to you now with only one question. What are we to do?”

the house burst into shouts and screams, but one voice could be heard over the rest. It was Wayden Ultran. He was a Reformer, and often spoke his mind.

“ Sir… this… entire meeting is a farce. We should be helping our friend and ally AMF with the utmost urgency. It is our duty to help our allies.”

A shout could be heard from across the room, and a second man stood. It was Feldor Balen, leader of the Republican Party.

“What does this have to do with us? We are lightyears away from AMF, what happens to them doesn’t concern us.”

The younger Wayden scoffed.

” You wish us to just leave our friends and comrades to their demise? I would sincerely hate being your friend!”

With that the entire Directorate exploded into a mixture of shouts and chuckles. Even Icarus cracked a bit of a smile.

The debate continued… with both sides presenting their cases.

Unfortunatly I have but one thing to ask. To have my forces at a distant from the front. Since many of my allies are attacking your nation, and I'd like to keep my involvement a secret as long as possible. Next to that I am very well equipped for long range attacks on enemy forces.

Once again, Mr. President, Nikea states for the fourth time their desire to remain out of the conflict. Aiding you would compromise relations with a fellow inhabitant of the Devils Desert in Whispering Voices, who has been an outstanding ally. We also sympathize with the wishes of the Empire of the Eternal Dawn in wishing to see Mr. Dreadfire removed.

Unless for some reason the Devils Desert or Nikea is attacked, we will join the conflict on no side. And while this scenario is unlikely, it is more plausible to have one of your allies stupidly engage Whispering Voices on their lands, in which I would advise you to, should this happen, not get involved. We would like to negotiate with your nation, but only on the condition that Mr. Dreadfire is released and the recent global bullying action by your nation ceases.

High Grand Admiral Quin Izumi looked at his screen, pondering the battle in space over AMF, if it came to that.

"Hmm... Send Battle Regiment I near the area where the Freekians and their allies are gathering their Space Forces. Keep Regiments II and III in reserve. That's all Major."

"Right, sir."

300 Capital ships left from Lagrange Point 2 towards Geo-Synch over AMF. Acelerating nearly to the speed of light, they reached their destination in about 13 seconds and then fired their breaking thrusters, putting themselves in orbit some 30,000 km away from Freekians & Co.

"Unidentified warships, this is Fleet Admiral John McKenna, you are near a maritime exclusion zone and any further movement towards Automagfreek space will be interpreted as hostile and you will be destroyed. You have been warned."

As the admiral said this all of the dropship escorts of the two fleets broke off from the picket and closed the distance to 25,000 kilometers and stopped. Once this was acomplished a total of 4800 Defiance omnifighter intercepters launched from their bays to provide a screen for the dropships. The fighters and dropships watched with their weapons on hair triggers.

As you may know, our nation and your nation have experienced... difficulties. We have reviewed it all. Although we showed our hatred against you and your nation, it may be a time for a change.

Although we think the aftermath of the New Sparthan war is unjustified, although our higher ranks has suspected your nation of "crimes against humanity" too, we have a silent message: the recent acts by EOTED.

We, the IAA-2, the Security bureau of Omzian Democratic Republic, do not see this attack on your nation is justified. In fact, we truly view it as an unjustified, unsupportative, attack. We are awed by EOTED. Long, we have see EOTED's new Empress, Rialla ux-Rihad, as a women devoted to peace. But we might be wrong.

Some of our higher ranks have opposed this well, but their voice were never voiced. Our voice are just covered and not listened by the pro-EOTED sector of our government, including the Foreign Affairs Ministry, and the Armed Forces Command.

We, as an separate bureau, would like to voice our silent support for the nation of Automagfreek. We are definately unable to devote military support. But remember, our true thought is a support for your nation.

Lieutenant Jamie O'Mire stood afront the WSS Texarnica taking in the sea breeze. It truely was an experiance for a Wazzuian, even if aboard the very old and heavily modified Texarnican Elf-class Amphibous Assault Ship. A shadow crossed over her and she looked up to see one of Wazzu's twelve "gravships" moving towards a point position.

It really was an amazing sight. Both of Wazzu's main wet naval fleets, the old modified forign fleet and the newer but still very old tri-hull fleet moving together under an even newer countergrav "fleet". She briefly wondered what remained to defend home...she knew better.

Her gaze fell down to her plane. At least that is new she thought, I wouldn't want to fly in anything as rusty as these ships. Indeed, the Hawk stood out among even the newer Wazzu ships as something out of distant sci-fi. Sleek, powerful, awsome to behold in its very unconventional shape.

She smiled. It is a wonderful day in the English channel, too bad it is so cold.

Greetings.

Your threats amuse our government. We have had almost no diplomatic contact with your nation in our histories, Mr. President. Let me point out that our agreement with AMF came and went long before Mr. Dreadfire rose to a seat of power. We have not betrayed him in any manner.

As for any personal insult you take from this, we feel that it is high time for you to leave the shadow of Automagfreek. It is amusing to know that any perceived "wrongs" on an AMF leader would personally insult a nation who obviously has such a weak-minded President as to be personally insulted by a supposed betrayal.

If you wish to aid Automagfreek in this conflict, go ahead. The government of Nikea has made countless claims that it will not involve Nikea or the Nikean Self-Preservation Force in this conflict. However, should your threats of "vengeance" lead to threats to Nikean sovereignity, then I can assure you that the might of Nikea and its allies will be more than suitable to throw off any kind of threat you can muster.

<_Heavily_ Coded Transmission to the government of AutoMagFreek, relayed via a tramp-freighter 200 nautical miles off the coast of Automagfreek>

We have... a capacity... that could be of aid to your defences. We are requesting permission to deploy air convoys to three of your largest airfields for a demonstration of this.

This aid would be, of course, exceptionally covert... and the price we are asking is a minimisation of any reprisals against the Devils Desert region. We can see a victor in this conflict and we have no desire to be indirectly targeted by the backlash.

Finally... the time has come.

The hatred the associates had for AMF was well known... their arrogance, their ridiculous diplomacy, their bloodthirsty wars... It was time to end it.

However, the reaction the associates, at least the three highest associates, showed, made something else clear: Something was changting in DA, the 'die hard' capitalism seemed to vanish for something more... idealistic.

The times were changing, and the world with them.

At last, Aramaki, Althena, and Griffith gave out the orders.

And the world moved.

Three fleets would be unavailable, neccessary to defend the assets they had on Mars, and on the galilean moons.

Two more fleets were meant to stay in defence positions above DA and in Moon orbit.

Five fleets were meant to strike.

In DA, and DA space assets orbits, buoys were set free, securing the area... their sensors would react on Relativity- denying reactions near to them... If detected, they would flood space with an extreme amount of different particles, crushing the 'asymmetry'.

---

At the same time, five naval fleets left DA, heading for the war theatre...

Time to pay.

General Frederick Halsgard sat watching the DAMOCLES monitors, the overviews and status displays that showed all was clear over the Devils Desert....for the moment. Sighing, he pressed the send button on his message console and sat back.

[Coded transmission to Whispering Voices]

It seems you are embarking on yet another foreign venture. Although deployment of Yerwahtten forces in support will not happen at this time, a Yerwahtten fleet is being assembled to assits in any withdrawl of your forces should the need arise.

Of course should opposition forces arrive at the Devils Desert, well then, violation of regional territory must be responded to.

General Halsgard, C-in-C of Yerwahtten armed forces.

14-10-2003, 15:16

Far out from Terra - to be precise 945,000 kilometres out - the ten hour flight of the Whispering Voices space armada came to a close. After five hours, the bulky sheathes of metal had ceased venting exhaust to drive them away from Earth, and began to accelerate towards the planet ... slowing them down. Whatever else would become apparent about the Whispering Voices spacefleet, it was obvious that it did not have reactionless drives. Indeed, the hulking, monstrous ships were positively ... clumsy ... compared to many of the forces arraigned against them.

The fleet then began to move apart ... slight vector changes preplanned, allowing it to be facing the Automagfreek orbital area at the time it would be required. The ships, new in design, looked identical. The only difference between the metal casings was just size. The largest ones, the capital ships, stretched for over a kilometre lengthways and three hundred metres breadth and height wise. Flanking them, providing cover in all directions, smaller ships of around a half-kilometre in length hung menacingly in space. In a sphere, each ship seperated from the other by a distance of about a hundred kilometres, the fleet watched. And waited.

* * *

Aboard the Legacy (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1373166#1373166), Rhion Aegewain paced, his thoughts full of the girl he loved - only years seperated him from her birth, now ... just some years, and then we can leave. Or stay, if she wants. I wonder ...

The ship's computer broke his reverie, and his thought processes as the electromagnetic waves pulsed into his mind, pushing his thought patterns into the correct formation.

Permission to initiate the fleet sensor and communications link to allow instantaneous communication required. Granted, Rhion thought. A spider's web of nodes and lines, threads that thrummed with thoughts and data, was projected against the black room in front of him. Arrival course of ships from 47 Ursa Majoris plotted. The Ark is remote scanning that sector. Arrival course of ships from Orion Sector plotted. The Ark is remote scanning that sector. Data will be available shortly. No Omega-level devices detected. Eve gives permission to engage with the Legacy but will not engage the Ark in active destruction against species of significantly lower advancement.

Rhion smiled, but it was not a pleasant smile. "Now," he muttered to himself. He'd been alone for a long time on the ship, the habit had built up without his noticing. "I can't take her closer to Earth, for fear of tidal imbalance ... and because of the electromagnetic terror field ... too many Artificial Intelligences on our side. Going to have to make myself an obvious target, I suppose. Just need to wait ... don't want to be distracted should the Angelans become involved."

* * *

The Eleventh through Fifteenth Expeditions cut through the waves of the North Atlantic, heading south. The continent of Santa Barbara lay before them first, and after that Lodoss. After that ... there was Automagfreek. Neatly close to the Corpselands military facility, and trapped between the Corpselands and the Federation of Sentient Peoples. Above the fleets, kilometre-wide discs floated above the sea, glinting shiny surfaces that moved smoothly, genteely, as the new airforce protected the old navy.

* * *

And back in space, our last brief glimpse of Whispering Voices deployments, the Brilliant Arrow satellites finished all their preparations. At a moment's notice, they would be ready to strike and destroy.

The Jameson class platforms, having ensured that no fleet could suddenly 'appear' in the midst of the Devil's Desert orbital defences, began scanning and monitoring transmissions on both sides.

Data was fed into huge DNA-protein computers, giant brains capable of performing tasks almost infinitely faster than normal and simple binary computers that relied on such crude things as electrical superconductivity ... as frequencies were isolated and attempts made to intercept transmissions on all wavelengths.

Lastly, but by no means least, six automated drones took off. Appearing to be nothing more than giant engines, they 'unfurled' themselves into a hexagonal shape, and pointed themselves south ... south towards where Automagfreek's orbital area was. Once each reached a thousand kilometres distance from the next, they stopped. No fuel would be wasted until the moment came; it was too important to the aggressive little engines - and the single-walled nanotubular buckyballs with copper cores that hung between them.

As ever, the stance of our loyal colleagues in the Devil's Desert is appreciated. God Bless.

Far out from Earth, almost on the other side of the galaxy, there was movment, one of the Thelasian fleets morred at Hiigara began to change position. It slowly moved to a place near the iigaran gass giant, then, a massive hole appeared in space, beutifull to behold, the fleet engaged engines, and was gone.

They reappeard near Jupiter, the engines powered down, and the ships began to move, slowly at first, then speeding up,

300 KPS

500 KPS
600 KPS
700 KPS

All stations, we are at Combat Alert, attack at any minute.

The fleet went stable, they were in a goestationary orbit above AMF, far above any of the anti-EOTED ships, their orders, watch, wait, be ready.

Alvar surface vessels have begun amassing near Nokgor in what appears to be quite possibly the largest surface naval deployment in Alvarezistan's military history. 8 carrier groups based around the gigantic Sea Demon class super carriers are gathering in Alvar territorial waters, loaded to capacity with the most modern aircraft in the country's arsenal. Destroyers, frigates, minesweepers, and transport vessels stretch so far that they practially block the average Nokgorites view of the ocean horizon.

As the ships prepare themselves for war, submarine wolfpacks are diverted from normal patrol routes and thrust towards the islands of Automagfreek. Almost 50 in total, the Alvar-built Narwhal class vessels begin patrol just a few miles outside AMF territorial waters, attempting to intercept and stop friendly reinforcements from landing on AMF's shores.. or at least put a dent in their numbers.

14-10-2003, 16:35

OOC: So, any nations attempting to reinforce AMF through naval deployments must RP getting past our patrols first.

Today, Council and the Daiamid have approved the initiation of large scale exercises in Angstain territory. The simulations will mainly concern exercizes in national defense. The military leaders of TVC feel it is necessary that the troops also train defensive situations outside their homeland, hence this decision.

Der Angst has been sent a formal request to allow these exercises to be held, and the Corporation hopes that they agree to let our forces into their lands. The force that will be used includes every possible type of military asset that the Corporation posseses, save for Battlemages. The force has the size of two official Vortex Taskforces.

Secure Transmission To Whispering Voices

You have my full support in your attack upon on Automagfreek. I have been observing this Damien Dreadfire for some time and it is my enlightened belief that only those who have two brain cells to rub together in order to generate a measure of warmth should be in government. I have no doubt you have the situation well under control but we shall stand ready to counter any unexpected moves on the part of our foes.

Also, should you require any of the 'unique' technology we are able to provide for special purposes, I would be happy to oblige. In particular, I am given to understand a second Fractal Weapon has been produced and is at your disposal should AMF prove recalcitrant. Should the battle move from space to the earth-bound theatre we have a significant number of Organism Omega units ready to deploy. We would indeed welcome the field trial and you may find them useful at dealing with the more esoteric of AMF's forces.

I shall endeavour to keep the progress of the conflict under observation, feel free to contact me directly if you foresee a need for more immediate action.

IC:

One of the MISATmk2's swivelled to face the Angelan ships, its internal defence grid alerted by the new presence; a small energy spike is visible-

-and the rear end of the MISATmk2 irises open as it moves to face the Earth far below. An E-cannon, with an absolute plethora of cables wound around its wide-apertured muzzle, now juts forth - the rear defence system online and ready in case one of the nearby ships decides to take advantage of this little switch in position by the plucky not-so-little satelite.

And then a laser beam, keyed to a previously arranged frequency, magnitude, and wavelength lanced out to meet an appropriate comms cluster on the lead Angelan ship.

Microwave beams lance out from the MISATmk3's, intersecting with the one that is attempting to contact the Angelan ship - and a diversity of comms systems on these spring into action, linking up with now-free MISATs in the rest of the grid-

-data spread out through the network-

* * *

Rialla sighed heavily. Semir-randil sat across from her - well, no. He sat directly in front of her, and their legs were pressed together, their fingers interlaced and tenderly holding on with a gentle grasp; Rialla looked down, and Semir-randil was gazing at her. Despite the obvious angst of the position of the two - neither looks happy - there is a tenderness to Semir's gaze, a softening of expression, a sparkle of the eye, a crinkling here or there-

Rialla's head lifts slowly, and she speaks as it does, "My love, we have made a grave error."

Semir sighed heavily. "Yes," he stated blandly, "I know."

"They will not trust us for a very long time," she added sadly.

"I know," came the equally sad response.

A hiss from Rialla; a stare, directed elsewhere, fixed on an unseen victim-

"They will pay," she murmours.

"Yes," Semir muttered, "yes... they will. Betrayed, by our own people... if I were not who and what I am, I would kill them in their sleep for this. Voting us down! That bastard Aquinall, with his IH connections - this all feels familiar," and his voice dropped to a whisper, a mere breeze amongst the hum of sound in the little room alongside the High Command Operational Command Hub Chamber; he shuddered suddenly, "no... not now."

The console beeped.

Sarah appeared against the wall, courtesy of a trimensional device fixed to the opposing wall; Semir looked up.

"The Angelans," he stated softly, with Rialla alone able to hear the tiny sound.

"The Angelans have moved a Battlegroup into what appears to be a non-aggressive posture above Automagfreek. I have opened a direct connection to the lead Angelan ship, and am attempting to open communications. All comms will be in real time."

Sarah vanished - she is far, far too busy to waste any time. Just juggling the MISAT network is a massive task, and if it weren't for Tatya-

{"This is the Imperial Artificial Intelligence Representative, Sarah, of the Empire of the Eternal Dawn requesting communications with the Angelan Battlegroup <>; Empress Rialla ux-Rihad II and High King Semir-randil I are awaiting your response. This is the Imperial Artificial Intelligence Representative, Sarah, of the Empire of the Eternal Dawn..."

She droned on and on and on; the transmission was sent at accelerated speed, as she felt the Angelans would probably notice that a bit quicker. In fact, if her suspicions were correct, they'd notice immediately, as if her other suspicions were accurate, the Angelans would keep a number of different bands open and recieve the whole communication.

This would probably take a tiny chunk out of their total processor crunch ability - which would no doubt catch their attention, even if the whole laser-beam-aimed-at-them thing didn't. Of course, neither was hostile - impossible to be perceived as such, in fact, and so Sarah was happy.

Relatively. This was going to be a very, very, very tiring day. She felt like she had a million arms, and every one of them was aching-}

{Sarah spoke; yet she was not aware of the voice; it was the Song of Self, the sweet harmony of her spirit - if she had one, this was certainly it, for it sang with sweetness boundless, and yet there were none to hear it; for no praise does the song of the spirit require other than that which it sings - yet sad was its tone; boundless sadness echoed through the notes of the words that had no tune yet found form in themselves, and with none to hear, it made little difference; a running commentary of events that the Song of Self did not enjoy but carried through-

Angels stormed heaven, their wings propelling them forwards with the rapidity surpassed only by light itself - and other angels; there were many kinds in this brave new world, and all had wings-

-and most had swords.

These angels sheathed their swords yet still; looping through the heavens, they curved around-}

* * *

-the 1 Orbital Battlegroup ripped past the Moon, barely leaving enough distance for their bowshock to suffer any lag in making contact with the rugged lunar surface far below-

-and executing a turn that ought to turn the crew inside to jelly, the entire Battlegroup swings around the Moon, accelerating even harder back towards the Earth-

* * *

{-groundwards bursting, the angels wings beating less strongly yet gracefully arched outwards to catch the wind to carry them on, their brightly glowing bodies pulsating with power and effortless expenditure of energy apparently boundless-

-and yet-

-and yet their swords still remain sheathed, their mouths tightly and firmly closed, arrogant yet wonderous in their elegant forms; inspiring anger and violence yet calmly curved and serenely shaped; warriors in art and dancers in grace; the angels fell to Earth, brightly shining yet silently descending, with nary a trace of their swords.

For some reason, Sarah felt the need to sigh. She did so, heavily, and it seemed to relax her - but only a little-}

~Encrypted Message to AMF~

MESSAGE BEGIN:

We thankyou, Warlord Damien, for accepting our forces to your cause. It will truely be an honor for our troops to fight along side your own on the battlefield. May the gods of war be with us, we assure you that you will not be dissapointed.

Sincerely,
Herasi Jon II
Emperor of Rukemia

MESSAGE END
------------------
Shortly after this message was sent the Emperor and his Council gave a speech to the public, announcing Rukemia's official support for AMF in its war against EOTED. Families sat in front of their telivisions and listened their radios nationwide to listen to his address. The general populace had been pretty much left in the dark about the sudden call to duty for the thousands of troops over night, but most guessed that it had something to do with AMF and their war with EOTED. Even the soldiers that were being sent to the battlefield knew little of the war that lie ahead of them until they were out of Rukemia. Opinions were mixed among the soldiers and the civilian population, some felt that it was the right thing to do since Rukemia had once been "annexed" by EOTED itself. While others thought that since AMF had never done anything for them, then nothing should be done for AMF. Overall troop morale was at a medium, but that wouldn't hinder their effectiveness on the battlefield.

The suddenly appeared on telivision, overiding the News stations that were reporting on his address and what it would most likely be about. He was standing at a podium bearing the Rukemian flag, his council stood behind him with their hands interlocked and their faces emotionless. He began to speak...

"As of today the Empire of Rukemia will officially begin to give the nation of Automagfreek full military support in their upcoming war against the imperialistic regime of EOTED. As I speak over 250,000 troops along with 15 grav-fleets and 8 tank divisions are making their way towards Automagfreek, to assist in their fight against imperialism. As many of you recall in our history, Rukemia was invaded only decades ago by this same horrible regime by the means of becoming a "state" in their so-called "Empire". Today I stand before you as a direct descendant of the late Nathan Jon who fought off these barbaric invaders, pushing them out of Rukemian lands and I say to you, the Rukemian people, that I as a man and we as a nation cannot stand back and watch the same atrocity that was laid upon us to be put on another nation! This dogs will be brought down, not tommorow, not next week but NOW at the hands of Automagfreek and his allies! May the gods bless our troops and may the tide of war be on our side!" Herasi had banged his fist on the podium several times in during the speech anger, leaving his hand red.

The address abruptly cut off and returned to regular broadcasting.

OOC: I'll post stats and the location of my troops and fleets in a little bit.

The Empire of the Eternal Dawn just feels the need to remind Rukemia that it took a mere 30,000 troops and a spattering of tanks to conquer them just a few months ago, previous to our generous withdrawal following the mass slaughter of civilians by the rebel factions that brought the current government of Rukemia to power. I urge Rukemia to reconsider their position in light of this, as, despite their position in Arda, we would not hesitate to attempt to liberate the Rukemian people who welcomed us so warmly in the planned Five Day Celebration following the Last Liberation of the People of Rukemia.

We also hasten to remember the slaughter that rebels carried out on the populace, while they were dancing and enjoying the great feasts and talented performers that the Empire had laid on for the wonderful occasion. I, personally, remember the INN reports; I remember my sister calling me, tearful, as she recalled hearing of the hundreds killed before the Imperial Police Force could respond - a disgusting atrocity committed by you, unless spin and lies have altered memories.

We remember that we withdrew, for the sake of the People who were dying every day for your cause without their consent; People we were bringing new delights and new luxuries to; People who were denied the right to continue using the technology we had brought them when terrorists destroyed the new superconductive vastband data network we were installing for the People of Rukemia, due to our compassionate pledge to them even before those days to ever protect and help them.

Honour drove us that day, and it is honour that keeps us from exposing them to that danger again; but leading them into war with people they welcomed just months ago is a crime; and the methods you came to power are a crime; and duty, too, is a central tenet of our culture - and duty would drive us to prove to you yet again that non-lethal methods will always triumph against the lethal.

Sheathe your swords, Rukemia; for you cannot triumph.

Control sighed. It was time.

As the EOTED vessels came back around the moon, she ordered another launch. Time was up.

Another 1000 missile pods launched from the station. Everytime EOTED began an orbital pass, another 1000 would launch.

10,000 would be deployed by the time EOTED was ready.

Over 5 million megatons of kinetic destruction waited.

Control passed the orders.

55.2 minutes after the EOTED task force entered orbit, the ships at Mars were to fire their missiles. Three minutes later, the gauss cannons were to fire.

Control smiled. She had been bred for this. Her very essence screamed for combat. Death. Destruction.

All she needed was the final command. And her children would spawn, seeking their own deaths in her defense.

But would the angels move? Or would she have to kill her friends?

~ Ambassador Dejure

Please do not manipulate the situation as if there were a war, or some sort of short lived battle that occured during your invasion of Rukemia. My grandfather was a weak leader and he surrendered to your forces without a fight, there was no conventional military resistance, so do not make badly hidden insults to us regarding how powerful we are. The people that were killed in that era were traitors to Rukemia, they didn't deserve to live and the others who were killed were your own soldiers, who were bound to die by the hands of Rukemian freedom fighters anyway.

An Empire is not forged to be dominated, you cannot bribe Rukemians of their pride and heritage, which is what all these foriegn technologies, feasts and other things were, bribes. Operations will continue, Rukemian troops will continue their journey to the battlefield and you will be defeated.

In the middle of the asteroid belt sat the 1st Fleet of Diablo_NL waiting orders to approach earth.
I hope William knows perfectly well what he ordered us to do. Attack our allies? I never thought we would do such a thing." General Renard thought on the bridge of the McKenna battleship.

An low ranking officer approached the general and saluted him. "Orders from high command." He says and handed him a datapad before walking away again.
Renard looked at the datapad.

This is the Imperial High Command. Your orders are as follows.

1) Go to earth and sit in orbit near Automagfreek but not to close to aurose suspicion from allies.
2) Target Tango 1 through 5000
3) Not engage any forces untill the go code has been given.

Command out.
[i]I hope this works.

"Okay men. YOur orders are to sit in orbit at nav point Echo 5. Then we target Tango's 1 through 5000." He said and sat down in his chair.
"May Sirithil smile upon us, courage guide us, and honour strengthen us." He said before the fleet moved out of the asteroid belt to earth.
It would arive in a few hours time. Hopefully right on time.

The Angelic ships suddenly go completely silent, substatic fields completely silencing all sensor return noise coming from them.

Then, they abruptly vanish, leaving behind not even the barest sensor trace to acknowledge that they existed.

Across all of the solar system, Angelic ships followed similar patterns, abruptly silencing in mid-communication, and then simply vanishing.

Rialla merely blinked. "What? The didn't answer?"

"No," Semir stated flatly, "they didn't."

He whirled - both of them having taken to their feet - and strode to the console, flicking at a contact.

"Sarah... bring the Guardian Defence Grid to full capacity."

He turned- "Rialla... give your authority for a state of Imperial emergency - as a precaution alone. They have not withdrawn for no reason - they did not answer! - they would not merely withdraw without word for no reason. Perhaps they misunderstood - perhaps not. We shall see - but for now we must take precautions, yes?"

"Yes," Rialla echoed, scowling and ordering, "issue the Emergency Decree, Sarah. And make sure calm is promoted; have Nejure issue a statement to the populace on the quiet, through some other voice, to promote the calm. Carefully."

"Yes," echoed Sarah quietly - sounding mightily distracted - but adding, "shall I continue?"

"Yes," Rialla sighed.

That was just for a moment, suddenly they dissapeared, entering the warp.

Message from the Kalessin Ministry of Truth to Automagfreek:

“Our Dragons are awake and ready. We will require aerial photographs of any areas which you wish to be defended if they are to be deployed. We would also like to make you aware of the fact that recently aquired intelligence suggests that Angelus is not to be trusted, and has been plotting an attack on you for some months now.”

Message from the Kalessin Ministry of Truth to EOTED:

“We would like to make you aware of the fact that the Angelan government has given it’s high command orders to declare war on you should you refuse to allow them to annex Automagfreek. It is likely that their recent withdrawal indicates preparations for a full-scale attack. We trust that you will reward us suitably for this information. Should you require military aid, just send a photograph of the area in which you are having difficulties.”

Message from the Kalessin Ministry of Truth to Angelus:

“We would suggest that you strike swiftly against EOTED with full force before they are fully prepared. Our intelligence suggests that they have been planning for a war upon you for several months now. Strike now, or all will be lost.”

"Sir, inbounds from Mars. The computers has designated them as kenetic."

"Tell both fleets to break orbit and and manuever as battlegroups, wait until the kenetics are clear and then reestablish orbit over Star Leauge space. Issue a general transmission that the engagement of Star League ships over uncontested territory will be taken as an act of war. Also, tell weapons to load up the nuclear and AM warheads onto the missiles, we're going to have to break the enemy fleet's backs and we'll have to do so quickly."

The ships went to full power, broke orbit and then cleared so the kenetics could do take their course without incident.

We are griefed by the news that you will strip our status as ally, Omz, but it is a sacrifice we must make. Perhaps one day we can be allies again. It puzzles us that you would strip us of such a title simply because we supported another ally. We can't pick and choose our battles-when an ally is in trouble, and we know it, it is our duty and honor to stand up for that ally.

Munich, Dreisden
Reichstag
Office of the Fuhrer

"Is there any way to avoid this?"

"We did not have a say within the negotiations mein fuhrer...We only know that it was basically a waste of time and breath."

"And of our alllies? Have you received any sort of confirmation for support?...Deployment even?"

"No mein fuhrer, up to this point we are the only ones supportive of any sort of action. If we carry on with this, we will undoubtedly receive heavy criticism and-"

"And it was already confirmed to them by our foreign ministry that we would give such support..If we retract that promise and go back on our word, we'll lose alot of trust between them and us..The path seems to have already been set for us.." Gerlich slunked back into his seat has he took another sip of scotch, the entire administration had gone haywire ever since news started to develop. Everyone was worried, even High Command was reluctant to provide any involvement.

"This is nuts... Alright, suppose we choose to stick with our promise and carry on with the support. What can we offer?"

"As of right now sir...we are unsure. With the current crisis that we already have, it is possible that we will only be able to commit a small percentage..possibly 6-7, to overseas deployment and combat engagment. Even feldmarschall Von Richstoeften is skeptical on our ability to wage two massive wars...and the feldmarschall is well known for his eagerness to enter as many fights as possible."

"..But I might add, mein furher, that we will not be going at this alone. Already, there is an amassed coalition gathering fo fight in the same cause, our contribution, though small, will be grateful to them in the long run."

"Yes, but the outcome..even the situation itself, is of, or should be, no concern of us...What has happened to them should be left to them." There was an arousel of nodding heads and concurring voices in support of Dorin's statement. Field Major Michelle Ruehig looked at Eva then to Gerlich,

"You have truth in your statement...but at the same time, your definition of alliance must then be passive betrayal.." There were some silent chuckles from Michelle's comment as she continued,

"It must be made aware that our closest ally will be entering this war as part of the integrated alliance..And if I remember clearly, we pledged continued loyalty as well as to fight alongside should our ally ever enter conflict." Dietrich and a few of the present military officials agreed and some even applauded,

"..And since our ally is part of an even greater power, we must also extend that pledge then to support them as well, it is-"

"Even if that power sends us to our coffins? We must be rational here, up to this point we do not know who is right and who is wrong. If we give our support, we might be giving it to a future-labeled 'evil superpower' and then our hands will be marred by their doings." Michelle was about to respond but was cut off by Peter Von Rundstedt, the director of special operations,

"And if we do not aid our ally then we will be releaving the enemy of future casualties as well as assisting in the downfall of our ally..heck, allies. We will be looked upon as traitors..and believe me, I would rather die as a honorable soldier than a traitorous coward." Michelle's comment received an equal amount of harsh criticism and strong appraisal. Gerlich rubbed his chin as he looked down at his desk, covered in report after report of death threats, allegations, and rumored military deployments. He looked up just in time to catch Eva respond to the Field Major's statement,
"Well..of course your definition of honor is not the central definition of everyone around here. Now..I am not saying that we should ignore every war that our allies are in..But just becareful in which wars to support, it might be the enemy behind the wrongdoing or our allies. We can no longer just flaunt our guns every time some nation shouts of 'FIGHT!'..Times change, and so do world views. Also, think of the consequences of entering a large-scale war such as this.." Michelle smirked at Eva's comments as she decided to retaliate on that,

"So basically, you are suggesting that we just don't enter wars where our allies are wrong?..My my, such notion is most deplorable..I think I can most surely say that many officials and commanders would look disapproving on what you are declaring...If our allies are proven wrong, then there is always that possibility that those proofs are mere lies to gain the praise of the international community, and I for one am not so willing to buy into those 'proofs', it just serves as a-"

"Enough..I think we heard as much as we needed," Gerlich did not want to go any further in hearing the arguement by the two women, he felt as though he just wanted to pull out a Luger and just pull off rounds in the room, but he kept his compsure as he went on, "Clearly this is a massive issue that we must deal with, but not the only one. The arguements have been made and the-.." There was a light knock at the door, one of the present officials opened the door, entering a middle-aged, female secretary,

"Mein fuhrer. I am sorry for the interruption, but I have just got a call from Leutnant Paul Rohm. Jai and Eris have arrived at Verdun and are proceeding directly to Munich, they will arrive in about two hours. And also, Miss Heleina has just called, stating that she is on her way as well." She immediately withdrew from the room,

"...Alright. I must prepare for their arrival as well as the news...So my decision is to allow the Reichstag to decide on this matter. They have yet to fail me in their decisions and I trust in all of them in coming up with a sound and rightfully, justified movement. When the Reichstag meets, I want the media kept out of this...I want it a closed session....Alright, your all dismissed except those who I talked to earlier." The room immediately emptied out in odd silence, odd being that just before they had all spoke and argued amongst themselves, all but a few figures stayed with the fuhrer as the others exited as to gather all members of the Reichstag.

The wavy, black outlines of over 100 Rukemian gravships could be seen on the AMF horizon, hovering omniously in the distance. They had traveled thousands of miles within 36 hours and now they had reached their desitination, a soon to be battlefield where allied forces would fight against the might of EOTED. If all went well the tanks and artillery would be the first to be dropped off on the beaches of AMF, then the troops and equipment and finally the SAMs and makeshift bases. But before all this could go down they would first have to recieve the OK from AMF to land forces inside the nation. The last thing they wanted was a friendly fire incident this early in the conflict.

Once inside the nation they would position themselves where ever AMF military commanders thought most strategically fit. The Freekians were, after all, much more experienced and skilled in the game of war than the average Rukemian Commander.

The crews and troops inside the ships were anxious, not knowing what kind of dangers would lie ahead of them in the days to come. The message had been sent and now all they had left to do was wait, wait until they were given the OK to enter this new foriegn land as an ally of AMF.

Transmission to Whispering Voices, Empire of the Eternal Dawn, and all related allies

Greetings.

Our government has received a few threats in the brief time since this conflict began. While initially throwing them off as threats without any teeth, President Tinuviethel and high level Nikean officials agreed it is obvious that Automagfreek and its allies do not understand our position.

We still do not wish to commit any forces. We, like Yerwaht, assist in seeing to the defenses of the Devils Desert while the forces of Whispering Voices are away. However, we have decided that we cannot stand idly by while such events transpire.

The Nikean government is prepared to offer you use of our airspace, airfields, and territory if needed. Also, should any equipment be needed, Nikea would be glad to provide it. If things become to dire, it is a possibility that the Nikean Self-Preservation Force may be available, and we remind our friends that any request will be taken seriously.

Good luck, we wish success upon your endevours.

"Tell me, Strategist, how goes the war?" Liu Bei inquired, slowly sipping on a glass of hot tea. Jiang Wei shuffled through random documents created since the mobilizations.

"My lord, we have taken up a defensive-aggressive formation over Automagfreek. Our space fleets are operating at approximately 94.817%, obviously capable of withstanding a tremendous attack. The Falcons know a bit about keeping the fleets in supreme shape, it seems. Although we have warned them not to get involved, several mercenary gunships have appeared on the front lines as well. They could not be reasoned with, and will strike once our fleets begin the bombardment.

The three naval fleets sent out to guard Automagfreek's shores have nearly arrived. The 13,492 soldiers arriving along with the fleets will be dropped off shortly. Once they arrive, a non-stop flow of military personell will begin, until we reach our limit of 3 million men for this engagement.

We have recieved word from our allies in the Aoe2 region, that we have been given control of almost half of the Regional Army. A total of 20 million soldiers and 10 naval armadas have been mobilized and are awaiting your orders."

The masses had gathered in ULE City, and tens of thousands whispered amongst themselves as they awaited their leader. Rumors spread throughout the crowd, and the conversations carried on.

Emerging from the second floor of the Great Hall, Damien Dreadfire, supreme Warlord of AMF stepped out onto the balcony, and the masses erupted, so loud it mad ethe very foundations of the Great Hall shake. Damien raised his mighty hand, and almost instantly, the crowd grew silent. Damien drew in a great breath, and in a thundering voice, spoke.

Freeks of AMF, I come to you now under grave circumstances. As you may or may not know, several nations have taken it upon themselves to push the Empire into war. Negotiations were held, and Minister Hartman made it painfully clear the the Freeks do not want war. Citizens of AMF, I am now informing you that Ma-tek and allies have not respected our wishes. They seek to violate our sovereignty, and enslave our people under their harsh fascist empire. I can assure you brothers and sisters, as long as the people of AMF draw breath, they shall never succeed!

As of now, all Sentinels have been activated, and are currently taking up defensive positions around the mainland and islands. Sentinels as yound as 13 are being given their weapons, and put on the soon to be front lines. That's right, this war shall not be fought on foreign soil, but in our communities, in our backyards. Our children will see it with their own eyes, and many Freeks will die. That is why I am requiring all males and able bodied females ranging from ages 15 to 40 to report to your local arms caches. Awhile ago, our government purchased several million AK-47 and M-16A2 assult rifles, and a billion plus rounds of ammo specifically for these caches. Brothers and sisters, together we shall fight the heathens!

I would also like to point out that dozens of allies have flocked to AMF's banner, and more are flocking as we speak. The enemy forces will break like water against the shores. Their armies will be crippled and broken, and the Sentinels shall march over them with a fury that would make Hell tremble. The heathens shall pay for their unjust intrusion into the lives of the Freeks, and they shall pay the dearest cost. The blood of these intruders will stain the shores of AMF for awhile, and we shall pile their corpses high into the sky. They will learn the hard way what happens when you piss off the wrong people.

Damien paused, and drew his SBP-90, and trusting it into the air.

My brothers and sisters, we shall not vanish into oblivion without a fight, and we shall not take this sitting down! We will not be intimidated, and we will not run scared! We will fight to the last man, to the last round, and to the last breath!

Praise the Gods, and pass the ammunition. We will fight the heathens!!!!!

Tens of thousands of Freeks screamed and roared, their fury stretching all the way to the far borders of Automagfreek. Echoing from the foggy mountains, their cried carried across the plains, and through the forests, and over the rivers and seas. All of AMF was ready. Damien turned, entering the Great Hall, and saying to his advisors.

It is obvious that these bastards want a fight, and they're going to stop at nothing to get it. They will learn the hard way what happens when step into a snake pit, when you beat a hornet's nest, and when you piss off the Sentinels.

Let them come, the Flame has returned.

The fleet waited, as onboard targeting computers analysed input, crunched numbers, and modelled scenarios. Inside the ships - deep inside - crewmen waited nervously. Engineers performed last system checks over the lengths of the huge particle beam weapons, and on the GRASER point defence equipment. Levels of nitrogen in the armour honeycombs were measured, and preparations for evasive maneouvers started.

Fleet Commander Dozteski sat in the sparten comfort of his bridge, watching and waiting. He was a young man, newly promoted, ultra-fit and from a wealthy background. But he was also competent, well-trained ... and entirely capable of discussing the most obscure of technological theories with his science crew. Which was why, when the message was received from Whispering Voices' allies that the last chance at negotiation had been refused, he gave the order.

Along the metal sheathes, hundreds of panels of metal moved. Out of them, spilled like seeds to the solar winds, sleek metal cases shot out, propelled along railgun-like systems - and heading towards distant Earth. As they moved away from the armada, rockets fired; they began to pick up speed. A lot of speed, and very fast.

The energy weapons began powering up.

* * *

A small set of drones shot from two of the Jameson class platforms, and headed towards the area above Automagfreek orbit. They were clearly sensor drones, and rapidly became obfuscated by the huge number of Territory observers. They registered - in passing - as not being possessed of obvious missile or energy weapon facilities. However, they did have an exotic matter signature.

* * *

"The Angelans have disappeared. Analysis of the Orion System defences complete. Analysis of 47 Ursa Majoris complete. Analysis expansion to all fleets being calculated. Complete defence situations expected soon."

Rhion smiled grimly. The Legacy had no part to play in the battle around Earth, but those from the stellar reaches - their planets, he had no compunction in bombarding. All that would need to be seen was whether any of them had stronger defences than the Nemesis Gate, that would require closer and faster attention.

The communications web between the Voices assets was still hovering in the room. When he focused on the white lines, they resolved into words ... more focus changed them into letters, and then lines, and then columns of zeros and ones.

Truly remarkable, he thought, before allowing himself to drift into daydream whilst the ship summarised the enemy defences for him.

* * *

The Eleventh to Fifteenth Expeditions were making good time, all things considered. Some rough weather in the North Atlantic had slowed them down somewhat, and the Townsend carriers hovering above had hogged most of the sunlight - somewhat annoying the sailors on the surface ship. Their estimated time of arrival at the Corpselands was a mere nine days.

Potential hostile fleets In Orbit.

Awaiting further orders.

They were lucky. Instead of the old, metalloorganic hulls, which were potentially the easiest thing to destroy in the entire sol system, their new hulls included metalloorganic armour. Still, at the bottom of armour efficiency, but better than what they had before.

Also, their new NanoDNA codings allowed a far more efficient regeneration rate.

Of cours,e the price they had payed was the armament, which had been reduced. Drastically.

But it would be enough.

Earth, international waters:

The fleets had now arrived at a position ~ halfway to AMF.

Deep below the surface, the giant subs moved, heading towards their targets... silent, great engines of chaos and destruction.

The ships weren`t drugged up, what limited their telepathic range, still, 42km... well, 36km, as the water reduced the TR, were more than enough to detect potential dangers.

ooc: I`m slightly pissed off: You do NOT suddenly arrive at the 100 miles zone of your ally. It goes like this: 1. post: start. 2. post: half way there. 3. post: arrived.

The Admiral was looking through the observation windowns of the Command Bridge of the "Thylacin" Heavy Cruiser - the current "Combat" Flagship of the entire Taraskovyan Space Fleet 1st Tactical Battlegroup. He watched the planet which would soon become theatre of a fierce fight...
He thought about the recent devellopements...

In his opinion, the Duchy should have stayed out of this mess and let both Automagfreek and EOTED damage each other to the greatest possible extent...
But the High Council has decided otherwise, as so they were here - the 1st Tactical Battlegroup.

- Admiral, the fleet is in formation, -the voice of the ship's BSI resonated on the Bridge.

The Admiral turned around and looked at the officers present on the Command Bridge.
http://www.digikitten.com/playhousev2/files/Mishgan/Admiral_Nesokrushimy.jpg

- Gentlemen, you all know your orders. Very soon, we will be near the "conflict zone". Once there, we will provide support to our current tactical ally...

He looked over the officers once again...

- The Empire of...

The admiral turned around and watched again at the planet outside of the windows...

- Automagfreek...

The officers nodded. The command crew of the Battlegroup has already been briefed, and even if they didn't like it - they were soldiers and had to follow orders. And orders were to support the Empire of Automagfreek.
As simple as that...

OOC:

Will post stats on the battlegroup in the OOC thread ASAP.
But an important point: it is not using FTL right now... it is just redislocating from one point in Earth orbit to an other by... uhm... flying... :?
The Grand Duchy is keeping its involvement as secret as possible ;)

The 1st Fleet & Army (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1820179#1820179) moved through the space towards earth. Just passing Mars engines blazing. They would roar if sound could be heard in space. And a mighty roar it would have been.
The fleet would arive in earth orbit near Automagfreek shortly where it would wait for further orders.

"For the king for the land for the mountains
for the green valleys where dragons fly
for the glory the power to win the black lord
I will search for the emerald sword" Renard said and could be heard all over the ships. All the men on board fell silent as he did so. And when he was done they cried out. "With honour!"

The Radboud taskforce has started deploying. Dropships have commenced transporting infantry regiments to their target destinations last night, and those same regiments are setting up temporal bases. Also, Der Angst has given us temporal control over a small amount of abandoned complexes, be that industrial or military ones.

Hoverdyne, terradyne and battlemech elements have started moving into Der Angst also, covered by flights of aerodynes. Observers noted that even Drone Carriers were being deployed, carrying batches of Spider Drones in their bellies.

Above Sisgardian space, two assault fleets broke of the main fleet and descended at low as possible, taking position directly above Der Angst. Soon after, they released numbers of probes and proximity sensors to monitor the direct environment.

Councelor Robert Stone walked into a dropship, the one were his temporary command center would be located until better facilities had been prepared. He felt quite good, reliefed to finally be a soldier again, if only for a short time. Dressed in the dark blue uniform of the Corporation, he walked over to a set of holographic displays, representing the troop movements into Der Angst.

When he walked into the cargo bay, officers and soldiers looked up. Stone was a very respected soldier in the Corporation, a warrior who always treated even the lowest private as his equal, and one with the reputation of getting his men out of the battle alive.

On one of the displays, the big surprise of this operation was displayed. A second taskforce, roughly the size of Radboud, was being assembled under the cover of large jamming equipment, sensor blockers and the activities of several battlemages. If anybody would have the audacity to set a single foot into Sisgardia, this force would teach him a lesson. In the meanwhile, his own taskforce would make sure that Der Angst would be defended against any possible assault.

A third series of displays and monitors, on the far side of the room, represented logistical data needed for this operation. Parallel to the military troop movements, supplies and civilian personnel were moved to the appropriate locations. Every time he saw the statistics, Robert was amazed by the amounts of food, water, medicines, medics, and engineers that were needed to keep everything running smooth. Especially the engineers were vital to this operation, as they were responsible for setting up dozens of camps, brigdes, temporal roads and of course a communications network.

One of the holograms showed a huge hoverdyne slowly approaching a river, as two smaller vehicles pulled large plates of its back, moving them over the water and thus creating a temporal bridge. When five plates had been moved this way, human personnel and a few drones started attaching them to the river banks and to each other. A few minutes later, the first squads of terradynes that had been waiting half a mile away, could move over the river and proceed to their appointed positions. As the image changed to a group of dropships delivering medical supplies and ammunition in one of the newly finished camps, Robert suddenly thought about his wife and children back home.

Well, let's hope this upcoming war ends as fast as it started, Robert thought.

Troops have deployed in a defence posture all over The Dominion. With the permission of AMF, we would like to send some of our exess troops to assist in their defence.

Reserve troops are half-way mobilized. Our current standing army is 94.5 million strong. (OOC-2% of the population) Another 3% will be ready within the week, if nessasary.

Control smiled. The fleet was hers, and extension of her will.

And her will was death.

The massive dreadnaughts lumbered around, exposing there broadsides to the enemy fleet, and their escorts did the same.

They majority of the enemies were within 20,000 km. Well within Energy weapon range. That would just make it easier.

The Imperial Battlegroup should be making its polar orbital insertion at any moment.

Power flowed through the systems, igniting the spark of god along the flanks of the massive capital ships of Battle Fleet.

A number of fleets were still inbound to Earth, but some seemed to be playing their cards close to their chest. It had not been made clear exactly whose side they were on.

And then there were the idiots, attempting to hide millions of tons of metal from her in space, while engine signatures blazed. Their positions were marked.

Control saw all. Well, perhaps not all. But close enough.

Time for a little warfare. Time to make people decide whose side they were on.

[open comm channels.]
[all bands...all frequencies]
[ready]

This is Cortana Tywyllgwaed, Electronic Sentience of the Federation of Sentient Peoples, to all ships in the Earth-Moon Orbital radius.

While it is not the intention of the Federation and its allies to cause any damage to uninvolved parties to the conflict, collateral damage may become unavoidable should you choose to remain within Earth Orbit.

It is my recommendation that any ship which has the ability to do so, and will, on its current orbital path, intersect the area defines by a 1 million kilometer radius above the Earth Surface, in the area defined on the Earth Surface by the lines 100 degrees West and 80 East, change vectors and velocities immediately, so as to not be within this area should combat break out.

Should you not chose to follow this advice, the Federation and its Allies will not be held responsible for any damage that might occur in the event of combat.

You have been warned. Should the situation cool down enough that combat is no longer possible, or should the combat end, I will again broadcast, to inform you of this.

[done]
[close open comm channels]

Well, that would allow some determination of who was who.

More power surged through the systems of Cortana's children, this time seeking sensors. Active fire control sensor came online. Radar, Lidar. Passive sensors confirmed sensor presence, reading emmissions, tracing EM and grav field disruptions.

Cortana traced a third flowing of power in her children. This time, Electronic Countermeasures snapped to life.

2000 Sensor decoys launched in a single wave, screaming out their signatures for all to see. In massive formation, it would appear as if the remainder of the Battle Fleet had arrive from FTL maneuvers in the orter system.

False targets would blossom on the enemy sensors, as the ships of Battle Fleet began to change position, randomly, dispersing the sensor decoys within their ranks.

Another set of decoys blazed forth, this time representing fighters. 10,000 fighter decoys issued forth in the first broadside fired.

It would now appear that 2200 capital starships and 13,000 Federation aerospace fighters were arrayed against the enemy fleets. No sensor difference would be obvious to any sensor know to be in the enemies imploy.

Then the other ECM began to work. Broadband jamming of enemy fire control frequencies. Jamming of enemy communications. The sheet power of the jamming nearly garunteed some success.

Nearly all these fleets arrayed against her Cortana had witnessed in battle before. No one had ever seen what the Federation fleet was capable of.

No one had seen their weapons, or their ECM, or any of their other systems. Counter measures could be developed and deployed in time.

But time was one thing the allies of AMF no longer had.

Their fleets were dialed home, systems locked in. Even if they tried to block her with counter measures now, she would no doubt lose no more than ten percent of them.

Point defense, at standby ever sense the conflict began, blazed to life. Defenses were ready. Weapons were ready.

The Federation was going to war.

Deep below the surfaces of the waves around Automagfreek's waters, the 50 ship submarine defensive group prowled the depths for signs of the enemy. Captain Noremov was beginning to get apprehensive; their entire group had virtually no surface ship escort, though high command had promised one if things got ugly. His mission wasn't to get into a pitched batle with the enemy fleets, but to harass them and take out some valuable warships. But pitched battles often happened when you least expected or desired them.

At least he was given a superior ship to command. The Narwhal class had dozens of improvements over older Alvar models; faster fusion-powered engines, longer ranged torpedos, a decreased radar signature.. he was conifident he could run circles around any enemy subs or destroyers if he had to.

His radar officer piped up suddenly. "Captain, we've got a signal.. looks like.. alot of ships. Hundreds, maybe thousands. Beluga class, XEV model carriers and destroyers.."

The captain nodded. "So, Isla de Penguinata has entered the fight, have they? Maintain current heading and speed. Dive us down below their radar range. Have the rest of the wolfpack called in: 30 of the 50 should attack the enemy submarine group and the destroyers from the right flank, while us and the other 20 slip in from the left and put a few into their torpedo vessels."

The captain watched as dozens of men, tiny cogs in the Alvarezistan war machine, scrambled with comms equipment, targeting computers and internal gauges to make sure his orders were fulfilled. It took alot to make sure the intoxicating feeling of power didn't get to ones head, but Nomerov was fairly confident in his plan's success.

Wazzu

15-10-2003, 17:18

There was something on the way that would give the good Captain Noremov a heart attack...or maybe just indigestion...Bob.

Bob sat at a tiny plastic table playing poker with his crewmate Shiki abord the Sea Serpent. The two were average "marines" (the term wasn't actually used in Wazzu) on an extraordanary ship.

In fact, the Sea Serpent was one of two huge submersible amphibous assault carriers headed at a heathy 50knots towards AMF. At 500 meters bow to stern, it was twice the size of a battleship, and had over eight times the volume. And it was LOUD, much like most the rest of the underwater fleet escorting it.

But for the time being, Captain Noremov didn't have to worry about Bob. Bob was still days away from AMF. By the time the Sea Serpent arrived, Captain Noremov might even know who's side Wazzu was on...not that he or anyone else would likely know that the underwater fleet was Wazzuian.

Executor Dantes took his seat in the war room, he undid his blue tie slightly. As he looked at the Regents from AMF and Pantera, the looked at him grimly.

"The situation in AMF is war on a massive scale. Freeks, and Reavers as well as many other allies are putting up the call now.We need Tersanctus."

Far in space a group of 10 transports slowly moved away from their positions above Mars, they began to move twoards the fleets above AMF, in their cargo holds (Note: All Thelas transports have seperable cargo holds, kinda like the cargo pod on an 18-wheeler) were nestled 200 missiles, they headed twoards the AMF and allied fleets, their engines started to warm up and then, stop. As the 10 transports (20 missiles in each) reached 600 KPS they stopped the engine burn, dead silence, the ships now not even giving off energy emitions from life support, in fact, the crews of 10 each were only alive because of EVA suits. They coasted, all systems shut off, when they separated the cargo pods they would do so manualy. Dead silence. In the mean time, the three fleets at Hiigaran jumped into slipstream, allong with the Hiigaran fleet. Exiting, they sat quitely at Juipiter, watching, waiting. The Mothership was there too, in cryostasis were 3,000,000 troops, and all their support equipment. They waited at Jupiter.

In the mean time, two more Thelas fleets began to move, they were heading, if their trajectory was true, twoardss that asteroid belt, with them was part two of the invasion, 2 Grav-Fleets (Note: Unlike Menelmacari Grav-Ships, Thelas Grav-Ships cannot travel in space, yet) were nesteled in their cargo holds.

As they moved, another fleet moved, this one headed twoards the moon. In their cargo holds were special weapons. By collecting space dust, compacting it, the dipping the mini-asteroids in a heat resistant alloy, they could fire massive balls of dirt and rock down at any target on the ground, they were the artillery, or ortillery.

(Note: All of the cargo are in cargo holds, unless you are within 100 meters of the transports, you know nothing of what is inside of them)

Secret IC:

A young officer was standing at a computer screen, he was pulling data files as fast as he could, for infact, he ment to send a certain file to Ma-Tek. Then he found it and sent it.

Fission Fussion Anti-Ship and Station Weapon or FFASSW

Thelas scientists discovered a new element Thiridium, this element is a HIGHLY unstable and heavy element (To be exact, it is heavier than any element we have discovered to date). We put this element into a warhead with a core about the size of a basketball, quite big. We attached the warhead to a fusion drive and a slipstream drive. Enabling the weapon to travel in between systems, and go near-light speed in system.

When the weapon detonates, it releases a massive amount of energy in the initial fission reaction. About 200 megatons to be precise. With the massive amounts of energy released, the reaction causes a powerful disturbance in the gravimetric field, causing the Hydrogen by products to be attracted back into the disturbance, causing a secondary Fusion reaction with a power of about 100 megatons to take place.

Now each one of these weapons gives off a LOT of radiation, enough so tat at a range of about 30 KM the radiation is still above lethal.

This weapon was supposed to be fired at The World Disk in case of a Triumvirate/Dominion war. By my estimates, 200 of these missiles would have irradiated the entire world disk, not to mention to destroy most of the physical structure.

"Presenting the August Rialla ux-Rihad II, Empress of the Empire of The Eternal Dawn, Supreme Commander of the Imperial Defence Forces ("Watchers on the Walls of Paradise.")..."

Millions - nay, billions - sat before their walls, their trimensional viewers casting the image of the raven beauty of the Empress Rialla ux-Rihad II - hair, as ever, swept back and perfect in form (not a hair is misplaced or erroneously arrayed against her head, housing features of luminous and stunning countenance).

The Empire leans forwards as Her lips move-

"My People, today you are the centre of my existance, as you were when last I addressed you - see, I continue to speak as the singular, in honour of your great patriotism and honour, your dutiful respect, your great overriding love for our great civilization - and as ever, we are of one mind, I feel.

We are sad. I am sad. You are sad. Today, we must issue forth the Guardians of the Walls of Paradise yet again; yet this time we do not fight in the defence of an ally, directly, and nor do we fight for the freedom of yet just one nation, either; nay, we fight for stability; we fight for honour; we fight because we are called to do so, and too few others hear the call that sets our blood to fury, and urges us to do what is right - to guard against the Night that ever threatens to spill over us, with too few stars breaking the silk of the sky above. Stability!

This is my Council's policy. To sow stability, one must sometimes cause dischord; it is a grave paradox, yet we were proved right in Rukemia. Our reason for the annexation of Rukemia was to defend its People - as we were honour bound to do! - from a future bound to threats of war and acts of war by their tyrannical government-

And yet Rukemia was already surrounded by hostiles, invaded from almost all sides; and our brave soldiers, pilots, naval officers stepped unto the brink of the jaws of death to save the People of Rukemia. Once we had obtained security for the People, we kept our honour by freeing them-

And we were supported.

And yet today, in a similar situation, we find ourselves lambasted for attempting to seek a safe future for a People undoubtedly oppressed by a savage and aggressive leader; there is but greatly rare consistency outside these Walls, and we are fortunate indeed to be surrounded by honourable and valiant allies that will stand with us between the Dawn and the Dusk. Remember our allies, my People; remember them well. And yet forgive our enemies; for they will kill us, and we will kill few of them - and we will give them back the others, who we have carefully incapacitated, captured, and cared for at great cost-

And yet I am sure you fear that there is only in truth one outcome to this terrible situation in which we all find ourselves; but this is not true. Angelus, friends of peace, have offered a peaceful resolution; AMF has but to accept, and war will be averted.

However, with mobilization of 'enemy' nations accelerating, the Allies of the Dawn will not stand down until word is recieved of a full acceptance of the terms as shall be offered by Angelus.

As ever, Nenyans shall lead the charge, in honour of the many Humans who died in all of our barbaric deep histories, and Nenyan hands shall cast the first stones.

Yet I urge-"

Rialla leans forwards, intently gazing out of the screen, eyes bright and terrible yet fiery and beautiful; bright and burning yet cool and flowing;

"I urge Automagfreek to accept the Angelic proposal, in the interest of stability."

The 1 Orbital Battlegroup roared silently through the vastness of the airless Void, glowing gleefully at their powerful surging thrust towards the blue jewel carved in spherical fashion before them; they pushed towards the top tip, the part called the North Pole, and as a unit the glorious warships plowed in an arc swinging around the globe below them at terrific speed.

Seamlessly executing the terrific maneuvering feat, the Battlegroup collectively offered up thanks to the ASIs Sarah and Tatya, and hurtled above the Earth, far, far above the Earth, on an orbital course that would sweep them from North Pole to South Pole in a 'slow' insertion to...

...somewhere.

Supreme Core Commander Cheng, of the Orbital Operations Theatre Group, marshalls his forces.

Along the virtual reality displays of the Nexus module installed on the new Impunitas Assault Battlecruiser, he guides the 25 main warships and 240-odd smaller crafts of the 2nd Orbital Fleet from their various orbits as they burn closer towards a position near GEO over AMF.

To the outsider, it looks as if he is silently waving his hands in an intricate but obscure pattern, staring at something only he can see. He has silver hair, and his intense eyes are full of thought.

He has given orders, though, and those orders were followed by more orders, as hundreds-- no, thousands-- of OOTG servicemen performed their duties aboard the shipshape orbital fleet. SCS Johns and his Light Strike Fleet moved first, providing a screen with his Leafstemish class destroyers and fighters from the 6th Orbital Fighter Corps. SCS Arvizhas, nominal commander of the 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron and the Impunitas itself, was nearby at another Nexus, performing secondary fleet operations with only a slight sting to his ego at having his ship placed under the command of a higher officer.

But he, like all of them, knows his duty. No one is here for their ego. They are here to embody the living will and might of the Conglomerate, and if need be, die a miserable death in the reaches of space to do so.

The PrattCo Conglomerates space forces approach AMF geosynchronous orbit, no threatening actions taken, no jamming or other hostile actions whatsoever. Just prepared.

Captain Nomerov's communications officer on submarine Sea Shadow waved his commanding officer over to his station. "Sir, message from High Naval Command.. Ma-Tek has announced publically it won't go to war if AMF accepts the Angelan peace proposal. We have immediate orders to stand down."

Nomerov wiped a few drops of sweat from his brow. He loved serving his country as much as the next officer, but the thought of sending thousands of enemy sailors and perhaps hundreds of his own men to a watery death was never a task he took lightly. Maybe today, at least, he wouldn't have to perform it. "Right, then. We'll surface in front of the Penguinatan vessels. Radio a message to them to stand down and hold their present position until a response is recieved from Dreadfire or we will open fire. Oh.. let them know there's dozens more of us en route from the Pacific. There are, as far as they know."

White streaks, combining to make three almost solid blocks of white, shoot it at incredible speed. Upon arriving near the Cspallan formation, they suddenly stop, and 4 Cspallan Starfleets are resolved. Already, action takes place. Each fleet came with several tenders, full of plasma and other needs. They veer off to engage in one last FTL jump to Cslambra, a large Cspallan space station about .5 LY from Earth. They would be standing by to replenish supplies of the force, should that be needed. The rest, along with the already present first fleet, pull together to form one massive formation.

Admiral Anderson smiled as she saw all this on her console This was the biggest force she had ever commanded. Probably the biggest any Cspallan has, she thought. She hoped they would not have to use it, but if they did, she was ready.

The naval forces have arrived about 15 miles off the coast of Automagfreek. Other forces are landing in fields all over AMF, awaiting orders from their commanders on where to move. Those same commanders are awaiting orders from Arctique City, who is awaiting confirmation from Damien Dreadfire on where to move our troops. :P

Colonel Joshua Palmer was peering through his binoculars over the horizon. His brigade had just landed, and was resting. He took the binoculars down, and looked up into the blue sky. He could see several dots, they were most certainly the dozens of spacecraft defending this godforsaken land. He turned to look back upon the earth, and realized the feat ahead of him. He turned and walked back under the army tent, where they had rigged up a crude communications system.
"Col., you've got a transmission!" Palmer wondered what it could be this time. Maybe it was a lost contigent of troops..

It appears that the enemies are massing their efforts, and the invasion is not too far off. Secure the areas you hold, until further orders are given. If a town is nearby, secure it also. If the attack should happen within the next 72 hours, the responsibility lies with your brigade of securing and protecting any civilian you can. Good luck, commander.

Palmer looked grave, and he immediately gave orders to his staff to report to the platoon sergeants. They would ready themselves, there was a town about 20 km north of their position. It was time..

It is my concern that our troops are not in position to readily protect you. It would relieve much burden off of my staff if you would give me orders on where to place my troops. We are capable of securing small country towns and huge urban centers. It is my desire to make as many towns as possible untouchable by the enemy. We have prepared thousands of SAM sites and Patriot Missile sites. What takes place in the dark space above our atmosphere will likely lead to the surface, and we want to be ready.

OOC: Ok, I'm going to assume that I got permission to land my forces in AMF.

IC:

Dozens of dropships carrying troops, tanks and supplies began to break off from the gravship formation and slowly hover towards the beaches of AMF. Once they were close enough to land their cargo safely, they lowered their thick steel doors down onto the beach and thousands of troops immediately poured out of the ships, all were bearing a patch of the Rukemian flag on their right sleeves. The troops were followed by hundreds of tanks, SAMs, IFSVs, supply trucks and humvees. The whole process of unloading the troops and equipment onto the beach took a total of 12 hours since several trips had to be made back and forth by the dropships to drop off the entire army.

Once everyone was situated and on the ground makeshift bases were hoisted up and the troops began to move inland. Radio communication with AMF was established and the following message was sent to the closest and largest concentration of AMF units in the area.

As you most likely already know, Rukemian forces have landed within your country and now we seek your advice on where are troops would most be needed. Until then we will hold our positions and await your reply.

Commander Adrian Jon

The troops and their commanders waited patiently for a reply.

The gravships moved within 10 miles inland and remained there for the time being. They would serve as naval forces in this war and would only act as ground forces if and when EOTED or their allies were to begin invading AMF. Until that time came they would stay put and await further orders.

I have sent the full power of the Interstellar Armadas to assist you in space, and the Navy is enroute to transport the Templar to defend your shores. I have seen fit to recall all legions. 2 Million more Templar are ready to deploy at your command, though this will take a few weeks.

Please respond before it is too late.

"The fleets have arrived. 4900km from the AMF coast, right outside their territorial waters."
"Good. Formation?"
"Widespread, five fleets with 15 battlecarriers, 45 cruisers, 105 destroyer. Defence parameter arranged. Telepathic scans in the complete area enabled. But standart, not 'drugged up.' We will know about everyone that reaches a circle of 48km around the fleet."
"Good."
"Sir..."
"Yes?"
"We should attack. Our telepathic tech is possible the most advanced in the world, but a concentrated strike against our... ummm... not exactly well- armoured fleet would cause terrible damage. And we are not sure if AMF or allies aquired tech to block TP`s."
"True. But we have to wait. Attacking would mean acting unilaterally, and we cannot rist that."
"Well... understood."

In the Republic, almost 20,000 military personnel went about their duties quickly and efficiently, for they were preparing for war. A war they were willing to fight. Military vehicles and aircraft were being prepared, equipment checked, strategies rehearsed. They were well trained, they were well equipped, and they were ready.

"My Lord I hope you understand exactly what your doing here. We are stabbing them all in the back. It's dishonourable to do so." General Santiago said.
"I understand perfectly well the dishonour in our actions. But understand this. If we succeed, and we will, then there will be uncalled glory for us all. Now let's drop this honour issue." William said looking especially at Santiago.
"Sir you have only mobilised the 1st Fleet & Army. Do you think that is enough?" General Brouchard said with a frightened tone in his voice.
"Well it seems a lot less then what the rest of the involved party's have send. But remember Alexander the Great. His army wasn't the largest. It was the most mobile. And we always have the deathray if things look dire. Now this talks are over. You all are needed to command the troops and I need to meditate." William said and walked away from them all, thinking.

The mighty "Thylacin" Class was making its way closer to its destination point.
http://www.digikitten.com/playhousev2/files/Mishgan/Thylacin.jpg
The mighty structure, around 1 km long. The pride of the Taraskovyan space fleet. Only existing in 3 exemplaries.
Inside its belly, fighters were readied for patrol and maybe assault operations, dropships were readied in other hangars, with NGF troopers and armor boarding them...
And in a different compartement - the NGF SODAT were readied, in case of a needed "meteorite" drop on the planet surface...

Around it, were literally swarming "Emerald Spire" Class Cruisers, five times smaller than the Thylacin each...
http://www.digikitten.com/playhousev2/files/Mishgan/Emerald_Spire.jpg.

The Admiral was observing the Battlegroup from the Command Deck of the Thylacin. 10 Capital Vessels in total.
Not counting the fighters, which the Thylacin could hold up to 300.
A squadron of "Wolves" passed in front of the illuminators, on their routine patrol.
http://www.digikitten.com/playhousev2/files/Mishgan/GunboatA_1_s.jpg

- Admiral, the deployment of decoy targets has finished. Am I to activate the holoprojectors? -the voice of the BSI was soft and relaxed.

- Yes, enable the decoy targets...

Around the ships, small drones, emitting the same signatures as the Thylacin, the Emerald Spires and the fighters have lit up their laser projectors, envelloping them in a projection of the vessel.
In a mere minute, the fleet was composed not of one Thylacin but out of four giants, each escorted by a consecutive number of fighters and cruisers...

- Sire, incoming transmission from the Federation of Sentient Peoples, open text to all vessels within Earth-Moon orbit and near.

- Pass it to the main projector...

The officers pushed button and a text appeared on the central holoprojector.
In it, was a very interesting detail:
It is my recommendation that any ship which has the ability to do so, and will, on its current orbital path, intersect the area defines by a 1 million kilometer radius above the Earth Surface, in the area defined on the Earth Surface by the lines 100 degrees West and 80 East, change vectors and velocities immediately, so as to not be within this area should combat break out.

The flight team watched at the Admiral, awaiting instructions.

- Orders, sire?

- When will we enter this exclusion zone?

- Shortly, sire...

- Then do not enter it... for now...

- Yes, sire...

The flight team entered the needed data into the their controls and the BSI retransmitted the orders to the fleet...

Dearest Rialla,

it is with regret that our first direct communique must be one of such a nature. We have received the gravest possible news from a reliable source within the Chromestar Alliance: the Angelus treaty proposal is a mere front, for your enemies to consolidate their power. Our source is impeccable - a top figure of a nation within the Chromestar, that can read the writing on the wall and does not wish to die with the rest of that foolish group. They currently have a token involvement in the defence of Automagfreek but are intending to leave as soon as is politically convenient.

Evidential documents inserted:
Automagfreek admits Angelan plot (http://www.darkeningskies.net/nationstates/chromestarbackstab.gif)

The 1 Orbital Battlegroup was a tiny blip on a vast screen that occupied one whole wall - the wall designated as 'up', even though really it was 'front'.

The screen was new. The wall, obviously, wasn't. Partitions had been removed of late; the need for introverted divisions had lessened somewhat, and now each division was focused on the goal.

Just minutes ago the 'call-off' signal had been recieved from the Palace. And then, twenty-seven seconds later, it had been rescinded.

The assault was to go head.

Anxious eyes watched the blip.

Waiting.

The clock ticked.

* * *

The stars glittered in the skies below from above, and no doubt eyes lifting to watch them flash across the darkened velvet with its static jewels spread throughout - the sightings were brief, but consistent, as the 1 Orbital Battlegroup sped above the darkened 'half' of the globe.

The clock ticked.

The Battlegroup arrived at its insertion point exactly on time, having accelerated to 112,000m/s through several careful orbits (a gentle shift in pace), and the gleaming warships opened their gunports the instant they passed over the 'western' horizon, perfectly in synch; almost as elegant and graceful in the act as a troupe of balet dancers serene.

At the same moment, MISATmk2s below cease their attentions on the planet, freeing up radio comms for AMF at last, and point their forward batteries at the fleet above.

The metal casings protecting the weapons inside drops away...

...revealing a dull, matte grey muzzle.

A second ticks by. Two. And then the mighty glittering fleet, nearly one hundred strong, cuts loose with KKMs.

And the night sky is lightened even further by the glow of E-cannon fire from the satelites; just one pulse from every satelite involved, and then they dissolve into molten metal, used, spent, destroyed to prevent theft of the valuable technology that enables them to carry out their multitude of tasks.

The MISATmk3s do not blink, nor budge, nor make any move considered hostile...

Yet the silent black hides a steady stream of kinetic kill missiles, kill vehicles packed with depleted uranium. A steady stream consisting of 532 KKMs per second; with the fleet hurtling from high orbit downwards towards the amasssed enemy fleet above AMF at 112,000m/s, there isn't a vast firing window - just several seconds worth of missiles attain the full on-impact explosive yield equivalent to 2.039Mt's (2,039Kt) of TNT each.

* * *

Aboard the IDS Retribution, expectant eyes watch monitors, awaiting the blossoming of white fire in the black beyond; they awaited the deaths they were bringing to their enemies in silence, a kind of respect that somehow ameliates the dread and disgust that they bury deep within themselves at the scale and rapidity - and perhaps some, at some deep level, might admit the possible perception of the cowardice )(that they themselves do not feel is cowardly) - of their strike.

Captain Rihad makes the only sound on the bridge; he sighs, almost silently; a whisper in the wind...

[OOC: Decrease each 'round' of fire by an arbitrary 5% until reaching 50% then hold, assuming that many rounds are actually fired. Each missile begins life at the same speed as the fleet, and the engines do not 'fire' at all. As initial speed decreases (relativistic gain in velocity from firing vessel), the missiles accelerate a little to maintian. Hence: first four seconds at starting yields.

Thanks go to FSP and WhisperingVoices for aiding immensely (that is, doing all the work) in the calculation of explosive yields.]

Cortana sighed, internally.

She was a little busy to worry about her avatar right now.

All ships were ready. She felt their energy, their life, flowing around her.

The feeling was intoxicating, overpowering. Nearly.

The time had come. Nearly.

30 seconds. She'd timed this attack with Sarah, down to the last second.

A small number of missiles broke in past moon orbit at a lazy 42 percent of lightspeed. Engines burned out, their tiny forms basically invisible. No one but her knew they were there, did they?

She felt her children, ready, eager, about her.

Building.

The tension increased. The fleet grew tighter.

Her hands caressed space, finalizing their destinations. She tracked over the space, each point specific, a connection established.

And in return, space caressed her. The sweet flow of electromagnetic radiation, showing her everything, and nothing, at the same time.

15 seconds.

The dance grew higher, increasing in tempo.

She probed, asking, seeking, and space returned, answering her demands.

The tension was growing.

10 seconds.

The interplay became faster. Circuits heated with the information flow.

Cortana felt her readiness growing, her entire being ready for this.

5 seconds.

The missiles rammed home, and the gunports opened.

Lock was garunteed. It was time. Energy flowed down the sides of the beings, radiating into space.

And then....

Time was up.

Now.

An explosion lanced outward, carrying with it Cortana's life force. The missiles launched as one, flooding into space, into it's cold embrace.

It was done. Her first time as herself. The missiles would cover the distance in a mere couple of seconds.

And the second pulse flowed forth, energy weapons. Particle beams, plasma torpedos, massive grasers and lasers swiveling through space. Billions of joules of energy sped into space, seeking targets.

Cortana felt herself coming down from the high of combat, now. It was all up to her children.

Cortana surrendered to them, allowing them to run themselves now.

She just kept watch, lightly touching them, as a good mother should, ready to step in if there was a problem.

OOC: There is a description of the strike in numbers terms in the OOC thread.

<Global Broadcast>

The Dominion of Whispering Voices has this day been informed of a grave threat by the rogue nation of Automagfreek to bring war and destruction upon our allies the Empire of the Eternal Dawn. This source - sadly impeccable - has notified us of Automagfreek's intention to work with the Dominion of Angelus - under the guise of a peace treaty - to destroy our allies of the Eternal Dawn.

The High Council has elected to allow the rogue nation of Automagfreek - infamous for its butchery, its slaughter, and its obsession with brutal acts - to not be allowed such time as to bring about such an attack.

We suggest that all nations not wishing to fall alongside the leadership of Automagfreek leave the theatre post haste. Such an act of treachery will go answered only by blood.

Fleet Commander Dozteski, twitched slightly as the order was given ... given to attack, to destroy, to render thousands of lives unto the unforgiving embrace of the vacuum - and in turn, risk his own life. Around the bridge his command staff waited tensely ... although the Whispering Voices technicians and scientists were endless inventive, finding loopholes in the the laws of physics ... they were not magicians. Which could put them at a disadvantage in the coming fight, against so many who seemed to work outside the laws of the universe.

The probes sent towards orbit over Automagfreek finish propelling themselves, and reroute their power ... and exotic matter wells erupt within them, twisting dimensional space around them: guaranteeing death for any ship attempting to jump into hyperspace at that point without the requisite months of computer time to calculate the instabilities. Of course, for ships about to exit hyperspace over Automagfreek ... there is no time to prepare at all, as their dimensional matrices fall apart. The pattern is mirrored by the probes around the Whispering Voices space armada ...

Ah. Here we go ... time to watch the St. Georges slay the tincan dragons.

Mia relaxed, letting the biological control interface meld with her. She controlled WVBA73, an ugly and bulky satellite, filled with chlorides and hydrous oxides, and other things that she had learned about painstakingly over the course of her training duties. Relax, must relax ... drift forwards ... look towards the light, the red light haloed by the targeting system ... ah. There. There we are. Look ... so pretty, drifting above the earth's surface. Now to ... destroy it. She focused her mind - the satellite's GRASER weapon - and it vomited focused gamma rays in response to her will.

The Brilliant Arrow GRASER platforms, having long ago acquired their targets, fire. Beams of energy, enough to vaporise a city block and fuelled by chemical reserves, shoot out ... towards Skynet. The firing is almost instant, each satellite engaging any part of Skynet available above Automagfreek or even vaguely close to the Devil's Desert, before going on to shoot other satellites over less ... important ... areas. The DAMOCLES system prepares to destroy any debris that might end up heading towards the Devil's Desert.

From his position down far below on the ground, at a watching post, Special Envoy Myerson lounged back on an inflated pool bed. The warm tropical heat had tanned his body almost to burning, and he was getting ... frustrated. Not since his days in Austrin-Ontis, at the elections, before he had been promoted, had he been this ... ah. There they were, finally. The missiles, the signal. He - one of many failsafes - hit his 'activate' button, as did other men and women - and even a child - across the globe.

Then the missiles, fired and waiting for the Eternal Dawn engagement signal, vent tiny amounts of matter ... tiny, but enough to course correct for direct impact against the ships above Automagfreek. As each gets close, they explode into a million one-gram steel ball bearings ... each with enough energy to vaporise a half centimetre of armoured surface. Not much ... but enough. Enough to blind any ship hit, destroying the - by necessity - fragile sensor equipment on the surface; the laser ports, turbolaser ports, gun emplacements, and so on. Effectively, scouring the surface of ships ... and, with so many missiles exploding into so many ballbearings, hits are guaranteed.

Myerson smiled, a job well done. One of the three girls in the pool with him, seeing his satisfied expression, giggled and swam under the floating cushion ... and pushed it up. Whatever conflict was on his mind for the next hour, it was not a battle of science in the Heavens above, but a battle of passion in the clear pool water.

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

Far above, bespectacled Thomas Anderly pored over his signal screen in the Jameson platform, nestled comfortably and safely amongst DAMOCLES. Unlike Special Envoy Myerson, he didn't have anything fleshy to look forward to after the battle, let alone during ... but that was ok. Thomas was quiet, efficient, and not prone to daydreaming. But he could do sums faster than most men could speak them, and recite formulae like a computerised physics encyclopedia. Which is how he not only knew what he was meant to be doing, and when, but guessed the time the signal was given - before it was given. He tapped on his control screen - first Net drones, then sensor drones, he thought, and then a coffee after I launch ... no sugars this time. And ...

Then, the Net drones power up, accelerating at massive speeds - simply appearing to be fast probes. But between them, invisible due to its small size ... a net. A mono-molecular net of mono-walled nanotubular buckminsterfullerene particles sheathing copper ... superconducting in the cold of space. Huge electrical charges crackle between the drones, as the webnet prepares to deliver destructive energy equivalent to a monomolecular whip hitting every part of a ship at once ... in a diameter of a thousand kilometres.

The Jameson drones, then, relay information of surviving craft to the Voices fleet, a million kilometres away ... and the fleet begins firing, at comfortable optimum engagement range. The particle weapons don't turn that which they hit to slag, or even to dust ... but vaporise it: punching through one ship and out of the other, potentially going through as many ships are as in that one line - since they are all clustered in one area - above Automagfreek - the damage is ... predicted to be shocking. The Jameson drones then begin to start jamming frequencies in that area - massive jams, designed to disrupt communications.

Right. That was black coffee, "black as night please lad, no sugar - but I'll take a biscuit. Scottish shortcake please. And some chewing gum, my mouth's gone a bit dry."

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

And last, but by no means least ... aboard the Legacy, Rhion smiled and laughed. "Take us forwards. Get the Tersanctus homeland in view." The ship hummed, the electromagnetic fields flickering in acknowledgement. The globe swivelled, changed, displayed the landscape of Tersanctus in infinite detail. "Engage Alcubierre field." The vast ship suddenly accelerated from a dead stand still to above the speed of light, as the exotic matter compressed space in front of it infinitely, and the home of the Ark traversed the distance required to come above Tersanctus in microseconds.

"Drop the field. Arm railguns. Prepare for orbital bombardment of Tersanctus. Maintain constant watch on the Angelans. Maintain readiness to leave at any point to commence destruction of Angelan assets and Mainframe, in the event that this information is true."

OOC:

All weapons are being fired across the sphere of orbit, so none will impact with the Earth upon missing. The energy weapons propagate at close to c). The missiles travel at ~ 11,500m/s.

The probes effectively block 'jump' methods of FTL (anything that involves going to another dimension), within a 5,000km radius. That's two slightly-overlapping fields above Automagfreek, and the Voices fleet surrounded by a further one.

The missiles - there are 1,032 of them. Each splits into a million small fragments, which destroy pretty much anything on the surface of the ship. Not much penetration, but guaranteed blindness. The sheer energy they have means not even shields will blunt most of the damage - especially when up to a million could be hitting the same ship at once.

There are twenty Brilliant Arrow satellites deployed, covering most of the world's surface (not mainland Asia or Australasia). They can engage and destroy twenty targets per second, firing 1.6 gigajoules gamma ray beams (wavelength too short to be mirrored by solar panels). That's enough energy to vaporise about 5 tonnes of titanium, per firing round. Instantaneous, so actual nuclear weapons launch or even data acquisition is unlikely to work ... even if it does, the targets are away from Earth, not towards.

The Voices fleet is utilising "St. George" neutral particle beam weapons. They're over a hundred metres long, with chunky 15 metre apertures - they effectively collimate way further than the fleet can accurately aim. They fire hydrogen atoms at close to the speed of light - and as Nielsen (the DEW bible) says so well: "relativistic particles have ranges in solids comparable to a typical target thickness. Therefore, a beam deposits energy throughout a target’s volume, and not on its surface. This results in lower temperature gradients, and neither thermal conduction nor radiation are effective as mechanisms to limit target damage." IE. Shields and armour don't work, and everywhere along the beam of the DEW, enough energy is deposited for instant vaporisation. To make matters worse, they would punch through one ship and into another, having easily enough energy to vaporise. In addition, reflective armoured surfaces - that won't help against either GRASERS (none fired yet, wavelength too small to be mirrored statically), or the particle beams (see above, same reason shields don't work - the energy is spread throughout the volume of the target; the refractive surfaces won't bounce them).They cycle at 1.0 x10 to the -9 seconds (to prevent them overheating, mainly), so about a microsecond (10 to the -3) to deposit the energy to vaporise enough of a ship several kilometres long to cause explosive pressure to rip it apart - literally. Fortunately - for the bad guys at least - the Voices sensors aren't capable of aiming the weapons fast enough to just vaporise one after another. There are a grand total of 240 of those weapons firing. Targeted first are the Tersanctus capitol ships (I take it from Tersanctus' post and the speed his ships can fly at that they're present - at that speed they can't not be - that's 144 of them), then the Cspallan capitol ships (18 battlecruisers, 30 cruisers, and 22 destroyers - ), and then the Automagfreek capitol ship (the 25km long monstrosity, with 26 shots firing at it. One should be enough to send massive shockwaves through the entire thing, ripping it apart, as an entire section gets vaporised instantly with explosive force ... so go figure on the 26 part - better safe than sorry). If for whatever reason any of those targets aren't available, the attacks are directed at Scandivian States' capitol ships.

As a quick note - these weapons are based off physics theory, an engineering book accepted as accurate by the engineering community (Nielsen, Effects of Direct Energy Weapons), and have been worked out in conjunction with a RL engineering graduate and a multitude of physics post-graduates and graduates.

Space. It was silent as always and all seemed still. The main Automagfreek supporters fleets were in orbit over Automagfreek. And all seemed like the silence before the storm. And what a storm it was, as EOTED and his allies launched their attack.

As the attack happened the 1st fleet of Diablo_NL sat still in orbit around earth. Clearly avoiding the Automagfreek space. Although the intention was not to arouse suspecion among EOTED and it's allies. It seemed that they were quite fortunate in doing so. They were totally ignored by the first strike, wich ment their plan worked.

General Renard sat in his commanding chair as he watched the attack happen.
"By the emerald glory. What deadly effeciency." He said as the attack unfolded.
"Those fools. They all bunched up together near Automagfreek space. This means the defensive fleet badly will get badly damaged. You would expect them to have a little more knowledge of war." He said as he shook his head.
"Luitenant." The general said.
"Yes sir."
"Open up a channel to Automagfreek."
"Yes Sir."

It seems that EOTED and his allies have attacked. Now I do not wish to make a move without your permission. So we urgently request to you that we be allowed to land our troops in Automagfreek so we can assist in the defence.
Please reply as soon as possible. As time during war is short.

The message was send and now all they could do was wait and get ready for war.

A mountain somewhere in earth Diablo_NL

A scientist in a long white labcoat walked through a long corridor.
May we be forgiven if we unleash this weapons power. He thought to himself.

He entered a large thick metallic blast door at the end off the corridor and entered a room filled with screen, panels and controlls. It looked much like a launch controll room from the days in wich space travel was in it's infancy.

He sat down in his seat at his post. And looked at the numbers on his screen. To make sure nothing was wrong he even set about checking the complex equations in his head. This wasn't hard for him. For he was excellent at math. For he saw math in everything. He din't see in images. But numbers.

When he was done he said that all was okay with his system. Later after everyone gave their okay a man walked up in front of them.

"Good day. I am Professor Eduard Vanderbilt as you all know. You should also know that what we are doing here is for the empire. And we shall bring it much glory by doing so. Now since this is the first time this device has been used in the field we will only work at 50%. Also high command has informed me that our first shot will be a warning shot of some sort, wich will be directed at the ocean, where it will hopefully not take all to lifes undeserving of death. That will be all." He said as he got back.

After the 60 second burn, the entire 2nd Orbital Fleet has moved at a stately 3 km/sec towards AMF geosynch orbit. The 25 ships, neither absurdly long, nor particularly pretty, nor numerous, approach the region of the EOTED-lead storm of death.

StratCorCom Cheng sends off a standardized message to all parties involved.

<This is SCC Cheng of the PCC 2nd Orbital. We intend to keep a close eye on this situation, as Conglomerate interests are involved on all sides. We do not, at this time, intend to enter into conflict, and our vessels will attempt to maintain a non-threatening posture and distance.>

A few thousand kilometers from AMF orbit, the powerful fusion reactors kick in again, this time to slow their approach. Long plumes of rapidly cooling plasma mark the ships exhausts, carefully aimed so as not to intercept anyone else's orbit.

Now, Cheng waits.

As the nation of Automagfreek appeared to be sucked into some sort of horrendous void, with its Sentinels kicking and screaming, the world watched in bizarre fascination. Bit by bit, the singularity tore them into atomic shreds, and took them to its dark bosom.

"What? Is that some sort of mad superweapon?" was the question on most people's minds. "No! My favourite wrestler is gone!" a few people said. Mrs. Mabel Docking of 8 Whittleton Crescent, Seaham, merely said "Hello dearie. Would you like a cuppa?" to the member of Islamic Jihad that had been holed up in her attic since late March.

Of course, he didn't speak any English, which made him about as useful as an igloo in Egypt, but he did have this really cute goatee beard thing, and eyes that twinkled with merriment, mirth, and Muslimitis.

And way, way back in orbit, a vast cloud of spinning debris obscured the effects of the devastating attack on Automagfreek's defenders.

OOC:

*rapidly works self up into rant stage*
*steam pours from ears*

1) AMF may have suddenly disappeared, however, the fleets targeted by the attack should still take casualties as described above. Surrender might be a valid suggestion at this point, and will probably be accepted based on the fact the nation you were trying to defend disappeared.
2) New Spartha, leave. Go and make your own threads if you want to gloat about things.

Admiral Farragut watched the main display in horror as the first missiles began to strike home in the enemy fleet.

It was not the damage they must be taking, but the actions on the planet below them that consumed his full attention.

The islands of the Empire of Automagfreek sank below the waves, as the Atlantic crashed home to meet over them.

He whispered, horrified. "Did we do that?"

Durandel, the ship's EI, (and the ship as well) heard him of course. "No sir. None of out missiles struck the planet, nor could any of them have done that if they had."

Farragut nods. "Okay." His demeanor immediately improves, and he returns to watching the explosions tear across the display.

The attack had just begun, and the ships begun moving towards AMF orbit, when something... happened.

Automagfreek... was sucked... into... something.

Nobody had seen something like this before.

The five fleets right outside AMF territorial waters witnessed it... when the nation suddenly... vanished, leaving a vacucum, suddenly filled out by the ocean.

The giant maelstrom sucked them in, and did considerable damage, however, all ships survived somehow.

From Automagfreek, nothing was left.

The rogue nation that once threatened peace, was gone.

Entirely.

Completely.

Forever?

At least the scientists had won something: The data they got from the sudden disappearance, the the multidimensional maelstrom that sucked up AMF, promised central breakthroughts towards a greater understanding of the universe.

Meanwhile, the fleets, space as well as naval, were on their way back home...

Captain Rihad fell to his knees with awe at the sight that greeted him; the pin-prick small (due to range, not actual size - 'these sheep are small, but those in the field are really far away...') white-hot flashes above Automagfreek - well, the place that used to be called that - were rather... insignificant... in the face of an entire nation being swallowed by the ocean.

And Automagfreek simply seemed to dissolve away; sucked down and out of sight, vanishing almost as quickly as the spectacle began-

-and Rihad gasped in awe, "The Lords of the West..."

18-10-2003, 14:41

On the bridge of the "Marduk" Battlecruiser, the flagship of the fourth fleet, admiral Paktu stared at the main screen. If the situation would not have been so serious, it would have been quite an entertaining sight to see an admiral, three captains, several lieutenants and an entire bridge crew all staring at the same screen, with widened eyes and mouths open.

First, the enormous first strike of the allied fleets was launched. Before anything could strike its target, an enormous maelstrom seemed to start absorbing Automagfreek.

During this gruesome sight, admiral Paktu thought of the plan that had been carefully conceived to ensure victory for the allied fleet. The fleets would have engaged each other, and in the middle of the fray, the Corporate fourth and fifth fleet, dozens of capital ships protected by large fighter swarms, would make a short jump to the center of the battle. It would have been the first large battle for the Chimera fleets, and it would have been a decisive one.

But now, this would not be necessary. That is, AMF's allies would probably not fight for a nation that was literally disappearing under their feet. Slowly, the admiral turned around, and his bridge crews all stared at him, waiting for new flight orders.

For a moment, Paktu considered the possibility of engaging the AMF allies, even the retreating ones. The crews had participated in extensive simulations, but real life experience was more valuable than anything else. But he quickly changed his mind. The concept of honour still played a large part in Kiith education and training. The admiral started giving his orders:

"This is admiral Paktu. We're changing our plans. All strike craft, dock with your support vessels. All ships are to abandon offensive formations and power down their weapons.

Fourth fleet, return to the Kharak II system and assume your normal positions above the Kharakian colonies.

Fifth fleet, regroup around the "Marduk"."

After closing the communications channel, he ordered the Marduk pilot to return to their normal positions above Sisgardian airspace. As both fleets broke up, the two battlefleets that each had with them followed them. Dozens of hyperspace windows opened, allowing the fourth fleet to make a jump back to Kharak II. Slowly, the Marduk turned almost 180 degrees, and headed back to Sisgardian space, followed by groups of destroyers, frigates and support vessels.

For the Chimera fleets, the battle had been over before it had begun.

Cheng observed, through the eyes of MetaPrattOne, the annihilation of AMF.

Well, that's... odd.

The cataclysm is apparently not caused by any particular attack. It is as if the hand of God himself reached down and wiped the nation and all its lands off the planet.

The other members of the command staff watched with mixtures of horror and fascination. One brave Specific asked for orders.

"Continue your job, men. ITs not as if we've never seen an entire nation get sucked out of existence for no reason before," he said. The dark humor cut the tense air of the command module, as Cheng had intended.

I will keep us here for a while longer. No one is going to catch us off guard. And Pratt will not have us leave just when things get . . . odd.

Geoffry Starbuck, WSA Coordinator and long-time resident of the ISS was watching the proceedings through the window of the command module. He was quite a distance away, horizontally, but the ISS was in LEO, giving him a much better view then the fleets high in GEO.

Farragut watched as the Cspallan fleet broke orbit.

His orders were clear and concise.

The next broadside rammed home.

The Third Space Battlegroup broke orbit in pursuit.

Gunports cleared.

1000 fighters broke orbit.

17000 missiles flushed from the broadsides. 5000 were the kinetic kill missiles of before. 12000 were laser heads, nuclear weapon pumped X-ray lasers, the flew towards the midst of the enemy formation, they only needed a range of 5000 kilometers before exploding, releasing torrents of focused radiation, sent in seeking the death of the enemy.

More than 100,000 beams of focused X-rays speared the enemy formations.

The 3rd and 4th Task Groups, the out system force, made a minor course change.

45 warships moved to intercept the fleeing survivors of the Cspallan fleet. But with Electronic warfare systems and decoys, it would appear as 150 ships and 3000 fighters.

Plasma torpedos shot forth into the expanding debris of the enemy fleets, seeking self-immolation and death.

Cspallan fleet, stand down and surrender your vessels, or be destroyed. Heavy Capital-class missiles, carrying the horrific X-ray warheads shot forth from the incoming Out System Force, now decelerating at maximum.

"Sir, strike efficiency is liable to decrease. We should-"

"Agreed," Rihad snapped at his XO, "helm, all ahead full- and get the T-drive online. Take us the hell back to Vilya Elenosto... and step on it."

* * *

Retribution, former pride of the Empire, surged ahead, her hull glowing brighter than the Sun itself for a fraction of a second-

-she glows brighter still, dwarfing the light of the entire Battlegroup-

-and then she vanishes.

* * *

Retribution fell back into space seven hundred metres from the soon-to-be Sol Orbital Colony of Vilya Elenosto, safely nestled inside EOTED Space-

-which had been left almost completely unguarded for the duration of the attack; a little fact that nobody thought to take advantage of, thankfully for the Empire.

During the course of the Cspallan conversation, of course, the St. George neutral particle beam weapons focused upon the Cspallan fleets, having destroyed their initial targets, opened up on more of the Cspallan assets ... all seventy of them. The carriers were the first target - all eleven of them, each being hit by three St. George beams. The other targets were the frigates - all of the thirty-four of them being hit by one beam each. The last three particle beams were focused on three of the the Orbital Bombardment Ships.

A coded signal was transmitted to the two Jameson FTL inhibitor drones by the Eternal Dawn IDSS Retribution. For a fraction of a second, they shut down their exotic matter wells - allowing it to jump. But, before the transmission could even be monitored by those not directly receiving, yet alone translated, the drones reactivated - once again causing massive chaos between dimensions, making FTL jumps an almost guaranteed death.

OOC:
The NPBWs fire fast enough to get off one last volley between the time it takes for move-out orders to be given and the time it takes to accelerate out of range (that being 35,000km even if there wasn't a planet in the way). Each has the same destructive potential as before - i.e. pretty much guaranteed 1 hit kill on almost anything, if it hits.

The shots fired at the Tersanctus ships won't hit yet (since Tersanctus hasn't had a chance to respond to the first one), but are being 'lined up' as it were.

Also, since sensor drones are being used, damage reports appreciated.

Admiral Anderson's ship rocked with all the incoming fire. The system's status was clear: the ship had about 5 minutes of life left.

"Can any of the ships get clear?"

"Some of the Orbital Bombardment ships are good. They already jumped to FTL. The jump was rough, put the spatial inversion process didn't get too badly affected by those jammers. They can at least get clear of the area to do repairs. 11 of the firgates amanged to evade the blasts, same for them. The carriers launched all the FTL capable ships they had, carrying as much of the crew as possible. Scanners repor...

He never finished the sentence. The damage finally caught up with that last battlecuriser. The main plasma tanks sprung loose, clatering into each other and breaching. The uranium lining of the tanks began eroding metal parts of the ship. A few small nuclear reactions actually set off. But the plasma did more damage. Massive explosions soon engulfed the vessel. It was gone.

"Admiral Petrovich, are you telling me that half the Cspallan Space force has been wiped out?

Admiral Arkay Petrovich, commander of the CSF, nodded solemnly. "Yes sir"

"Have every ship report to Cspallan space. Work out patrol patterns along borders. And damn it, get the shipyards ready. We have a lot of work to do, and soon."

"Soon, sir?"

"Yes. We are going to rebuild a fleet, bigger and better than we ever had before. And, with God as my witness, we will destroy Whispering Voices. Have your teams restart Operation: Devert."

As the blast waves quited down, the Thelas fleets began to move, (There were four on alert), their engines powerd up, and they began to head twoards what was left of the anti-EOTED fleets, they were going to "mop up" the enemy squardrons, or what was left of them. Netari watched the vid feed aboard the Archan,

"My God, did I just see that? Call off operation Mithrandir, move the fleets in after the blast waves have cleared the area, inform Thelas Space Command, and General Theallas. There will be no need of the space borne invasion.

Reroute the transports to Hiigara and prepare for an invasion of the last AMF strong hold, I beleive that is where their space fleets are"

One of the unengaged firing arcs of Battle Fleet vomited forth a single missile. It sped towards the Thelas battlefleets, and 500 kilometers clear of them, detonated.

A five hundred megaton nuclear weapon exploded in front of the Elven Fleets. It was the dirtiest bomb in the Federation arsenal, designed for one thing only. To blind every form of sensor that relied on radiation for sensing.

**Wazzu First, Second, and CG fleets, near the Canary Islands off Northwest Africa**

Admiral John Maizan was finally getting news on exactly what he and the officers of his three combined fleets had just seen over satelite sensors. "The island sank?!"

"Yes Admiral," came the reply over the secure channel, "as far as we can tell, it just sank, or otherwise disappeared. And the space forces defending AMF are now under heavy assult by the three main opposition powers. They are not expected to come out well."

"OK Minister Meyer, what are our orders then?"

"Proceed to the location where the islands once existed and investigate. There will be others doing the same, it should be a good time to measure their capibilities. But go ahead and send the marines back under escort."

Yes, the admiral thought, little need for them now. "Understood. Anything else?"

"Just be careful, there are certain to be a lot of trigger happy nuts out there still. God speed Admiral. Meyer out."

Deep in thought, the admiral took a look out the window of the bridge. No one was on his stealthy little C4I destroyer, they were not aloud. But soldiers packed the decks of most of the other ships of the fleet, all looking up and slightly to the South...brilliant fireworks could be seen in the sky.

The Dominion of Whispering Voices, having briefly recorded anomalous data feeds related to the area from which the nation of Automagfreek disappeared, has released the following results:

"It appeared that a brief spurt of unusual energy rays (suspected to be x-rays, although due to wavelength and monitoring problems data is being recalculated for accuracy) took place at approximately 07.32 AM VT. The silhouettes appeared to resemble parts of the former nation of Automagfreek; however, it is suspected to be an anomaly caused by whatever disaster engulfed the nation. Further investigations are hoped for by those on the ground near the site of said disaster."

The men inside the gravships that were stationed 10 miles off the coasts of Automagfreek had just witnessed an incredible site, the entire Island nation of AMF had completely vanished, almost within a blink of an eye. Radio communication between the gravships and the soldiers that were inside AMF had previously been constant and now it had abruptly ended, nothing but static could be heard. An entire nation had seemingly dissapeared into the depths of the ocean, along with 250,000 Rukemian troops and hundreds of tanks and equipment.

The gravships held their ground 10 miles from what used to be the AMF coastline, their was no trace of the nation of AMF or anything else on radar other than the gravships themselves. This was some really wierd shit, wierd enough to unnerve the toughest and most experienced Rukemian Commander, Adrian Jon. He wanted to give orders but he couldn't think of what to say, after what he had just witnessed he wasn't sure of anything anymore. Was he himself a figure of someone elses imagination? Had the nation of AMF dissapeared because of another's unbelief in it as a nation and as a people?

Finally he gathered himself and stop asking himself dumb unanswerable questions, he had given an order and his order was to wait. He was sure that maybe if they waited long enough something would happen, that maybe his soldiers would come back. What the hell would he tell the Emperor if it didn't turn out that way?

Noticing the complete destruction of the enemy fleets, Farragut smiles.

He who fires first wins the day.

Post battle orders began to seep out over the nets. People watching from the ground below might react with astonishment as 2000 capital ships and 7000 aerospace fighters disappeared, for all the world, appearing to have vanished into hyperspace.

The plot on Farragut's screen told the true tale as those decoy drones exploded. The pieces would no doubt burn up on reentry, making a spectacular sky show for the coming few nights.

Fighters began to spread out, seeking the missile pods, as the jamming died, and the missile pod beacons came on line, allowing for recovery.

And then, ponderously, the mountains of battlesteel that made up Battle Fleet swung out from Earth orbit, seeking the allies from the nation of Whispering Voices. Accelerating at maximum power, they quickly reached turnover and slowed, more than 300 gravities guiding their movements.

As they reached the Whispering Voices ships, their drive fields dropped, and they guided in on reaction thrusters, approaching as close as they dared.

The nearly four kilometer long dreadnaughts nuzzled up to the largest ships they could.

Magnetic grapnels fired out, latching onto their allies.

And then, the drive fields blazed back to life, snapping into existence around the allied shipping.

The Support Wing of the 1 Orbital Battlegroup swept ahead of the warships they accompanied, brightly flaring against the blank black of space surround; no stars gleam this close to the dazzling blue sphere far below.

Sixteen ships sluggishly slow to a crawl as they reach the debris field spread out above the Earth; millions of tiny metal chunks gently roll through a cloud of haze - body fluids, parts, and dead ex-living organic matter add to the mixture of metals and plastics hurtling back and forth inside the field of debris caused by the destruction of the enemy ships.

Captain Ira Menjda sighed heavily as he gave the order to begin the cleanup; quietly, and drawing a stifled chuckle from his XO, he murmours, "It's a dirty job... but someone has to do it."

Specially formed EM fields pulse around the tender ships as they go about their work; carriers move in, and the tenders slowly push at the debris, compressing it and depositing each 'chunk' inside a now-empty hangar bay on one of the carriers.

"First minute down, six days to go," sighed the SciOp from the right of the cramped 'bridge' that served as the operations centre for the lead tender ship, the IDSS To Seek, To Serve.

Slowly but surely, the mess that the battle above the Earth has caused is cleaned up.

"The Empire of The Eternal Dawn feels that it has been eminently patient with regards to this matter, and, regrettably, this is not a scenario that is likely or was likely to extend into an indefinite expanse of waiting. Therefore, with heavy heart and great regret, the Empire of the Eternal Dawn warns those nations that gave military aid to the defunct Empire of Automagfreek that unless an immediate and unconditional surrender is forthcoming, the military campaign shall resume. We are aware that this may not be the preferred avenue of action of our allies, and, with that in mind, do not require any participation on their part. However...

The gunports on the warships iris open...
