An encrypted message is sent out to all friendly Martian nations:

The image of Empress Redoran appears. She looks very worried and even fearful...
"Freinds, demons are rising in the dark of Olympus. I know not what is to unfold, but be certain none will be safe... I must make haste out of the city, nay, out of Bajon itself. The lifedrinkers search for me, and I must not be found. I will try to send more messages once I am safe, but for now I flee..."
The message fades with her bodyguards rushing her out of the room...

-Empress Nisha Redoran

~The Nocturnal Empire of Bajon~

Martin poured over the transcript.

"I just don't know what to make of this. Do we even count as a friendly nation? Doesn't even clearly say what the trouble is. As if things weren't complicated enough already. Sheesh. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens."

OOC: See? This is what happens when you do not pay your NEW ARAREBEEN ELECTRICITY BILLS. We warned them, but nooo. "We don't need light. We have infravision." And blahblah. This is what you get. And now to confuse the hell out of all of you.

Location: The Quw'nado

"is it a horror?"

" Doubtfulssss.....there sssome theress but they ssshould notsss ssstirsss... "

"then what?"

^<<UNKNOWN>>^<<RECOMMEND MONITORING>>^

" Agreeedsss..."

The nation of Pilon sends the following reply.
"Friend nation Bajon, if you are willing we will send a force to your nation to help you fight these Demons.?

Another message is sent. A man appears on the screen:
"Empress Redoran is er... unable to contact you... Olympus City is considered lost to the lifedrinkers. Most of the citizens have no idea what is happening though. We don't know what to do. Those demons are so much stronger than us; It's as if they are made of the darkness itself... Here is all the information we have on them. I must go."

The image cuts off, and a datastream is sent.
The creature described resembles... a... a vampire...

Preparation were begun to send a rather large ground force to Bajon to help fight the enemy. Literature and any information that could be gathered on Vampires was collected and distributed through the nodes to the troops to prepare them for what they would be facing. Within a few weeks time they would be ready to move out.

bump

The newly deployed forces of the recient claimed colony of Aelosia are rushing to help Bajon. Thanks to political pressure by the Drow Houses the parlament of the Great Noble Houses is sending a task force and supplies to help the besieged forces of Bajon.

A force totalling to 250,000 moves out to the Bajon Territory. They state their intentions to help fight the demons and begin to head in.

At the newly constructed Seneca Base on Mars (A few prefab buildings and a shuttlebay, as well as a hastily built landing strip), the Communications shed, perched atop the largest building, comes to life. Its lone occupant, Zebulon, is a robot. He is startled by the sudden influx of communications traffic. The words flash across the screen:

"Freinds, demons are rising in the dark of Olympus. I know not what is to unfold, but be certain none will be safe... I must make haste out of the city, nay, out of Bajon itself. The lifedrinkers search for me, and I must not be found. I will try to send more messages once I am safe, but for now I flee..."


These words, demons, lifedrinkers, are completely new to 'Zeb, as he is called. They were not programmed into his vocabulary and are seldom used in common LRR speech. He decided it was best to let the boss decide.

"Boss?"
"Yes, Zeb?"
"You should come take a look at this."
"I was asleep. Could you wait till morning?"
"I don't know."
"Ok, ok. I'll be right over."

The Boss, or Lieutenant Leif Lawrence of the LRRSV Voltaire, shook himself out of bed. He stumbled up the stairs of the below-ground barracks area into the Airlock. To one side was the kitchen, and he contemplated getting a quick cup of coffe before meeting Zeb, but decided against it. A pair of robotic arms dress him in the standard EVA suit, and he steps into the door chamber. Soon, he is outside, and in front of him is a small hoverbike, which he rides over to the lab building. A ride of about 30 meters, not counting the doughnuts he did on the landing strip.

He arrives in the hangar bay of the lab building, and walks inside. Once within the full pressure zone, he takes off his helmet. The speakers are playing "Mr. Tambourine Man," by Bob Dylan, at a soft volume. He makes his way upstairs to Zeb.

"So, this is what you got all worried about?"
"I don't know those words, Boss."
"And its a good thing. I don't know lifedrinkers, but a Demon is usually a very malignant being. I don't know what this message means. Perhaps it is a prank."
"It is possible. Should we not find out?"
"Awwwww..... its three A.M.!"
"You can sleep while I drive."
"You're very persuasive."
"There is already an aircar prepared for service. It is in the hangar bay. Come."

He motions to the door. The two start down the stairs, and eventually reach the hangar bay, where the aircar was waiting. They board the aircar, and take off for Bajon. They should arrive by daybreak.

A message is sent to Aelosia and Pilon:

Empress Redoran appears on the screen.
"I am near the Menelmacari border, in a small subterranean complex. Governor Indoril, head of the MIs will meet you on the surface and show you to the entrance. I'm sure you understand what sunlight does to us. You will speak with her now."

Another drow female appears on the screen:

"Good evening. I will be breif. After reviewing old earth studies on vampires, we have found they may only effectively be killed through 1 mean. Silver. The wooden spike theory was a myth of the old world. However, they appear to have severe reactions to Silver, leading to a quick death. The old myth of garlic appears to be effective as well, but its merely drives them off, doesn't hurt them unless consumed or injected.
I have ordered my teams to load up with silver bullets and blades, which are being supplied by a private business of mine. I will have extras created, but they will not accomidate all your soldiers. The Empress and the other governors have decided not to tell the populace, or none involved soldiers about this. We fear it will cause a panic... I must go, this transmission is being traced by someone. Make haste to the rendevouz..."

The transmission cuts off abruptly.

~The Nocturnal Empire~

"We will have to see what Plasma does to them. We are fairly sure that our Biological Weapons will have no effect on them but our Plasma Based weapons will at the very least keep them at bay long enough to take them out with your silver weapons."
The Pilonese military moved out quickly now headed for the entrance.

The aircar speeds over the martian landscape, Zeb at the controls and Lt. Leif asleep in the co-pilots seat.

"Boss, wake up."
"What?"
"We are within sight of the Bajoni border."
"Can you see any outposts?"
"None. Perhaps they are below ground. Where should I land?"
"I dunno. Somewhere inside the border."
"Shall I try to contact Bajon on the radio?"
"This is my favorite song! Just kidding. Er.....yeah. Open a comm channel."
"Bajoni border stations, this is Lunatic Retard Robots light craft number MS-4330. We request to be informed of the current situation. Do you copy?"

"Bajoni border stations, this is Lunatic Retard Robots light craft number MS-4330. We request to be informed of the current situation. Do you copy?"


"We copy."

"LRR, huh? We weren't notified about any LRR units coming in. I'll have to check..."

"Alright, you may land at these coordinates. Expect an armed guard to meet you. Don't try anything."

"Out."

~The Nocturnal Empire~

~The Nocturnal Empire~

"We copy, Bajon."
"Set 'er down, Zeb."

The aircar lands at the border station, its two occupants stepping out. Lt. Lawrence tucks his opium pipe into his flightsuit pocket before stepping out of the aircar. He had started taking the stuff after his first and only robot was destroyed by christian extremists. And after that his life fell apart. He left robotics, and enlisted in the LRR Spacefleet. Opium was the only thing keeping him from suicide. Zeb waits for his boss outside the door, and helps him to the gate.

As the message from Bajon is recieved Emperor Mengsk Dispatches General Duke to help Bajon in its darkest hour.


Gen. Duke: Alright boys listen up, we just got the order from Emperor Mengsk to move in and frag those Sons of bitch's so lets get movin. Ensign!

Ensign: Sir.

Gen. Duke: I want the entirety of the Mars army to move on Olympus, aswell as the entire Martian navy except the 5th Destroyer wing, and the 3rd Fighter Division. Also, alert Agent Kerrigan to put a team together i want the Emperess found and brought to safety!

Ensign: Sir, Yes, Sir.

Ensign: Sir, Yes, Sir.

OCC: Quite substantially more than my opium addict Lieutenant and little robot. :D

IC: Back at base, the remaining crewmembers begin to crawl out of bed. They find a note describing the situation taped to the airlock door, with instructions to call for the 3rd Marine division embarked on the Traveling mothership, which was in orbit. Before long, an advance party of 100 marines was hurtling twoards the base in a pair of Brezmark Landing craft.

They were lead by a man known as the Duke of Earl. His real name was Dr. Zaphod Golgafrincham MCLXVII, MD and he is the honorary commander of the 3rd marine division, a reward for his great*22 grandfather's actions as acting commander during the Royal Palms crisis, where he treated 10,000 casualties of all parties.

"Genr'l?"
"Yes, Mr. Nash?"
"We're approaching the landing site now."
"We'll unload there and proceed on vehicle."
"The Warbrat gunships are en route."
"Thats good. Tell them to land here."
"Aye, Genr'l."
"And make sure we have a medical team with us. Remember, even the vilest creature can be made good. So lets try not to kill anybody. You've got the Kedamine shots right?"
"Yep. They've got the automatic portion control too."
"Always better to give someone sweet dreams than to kill them."

The dropships land, and a half-awake crew walks out to greet them. It would be hard to believe that this site would one day contain LRR's second largest drive yards.

500 elite guards of the Great House of D'nan arrives to the entrance of the complex. Along with their ShadowBolt concussion rifles they bring an interesting cargo. Power armors, swords, spears and ShadowNeedles made of the purest silver, Mithril.

Vorpalis D'nan, the commander of the Honor Guards, explains to the Drow forces "We fought against Orochians lupines some time ago, and have this weaponry in stock. This is the perfect time for use it, we are trained in the vampire hunting, reinforcements will arrive soon. I think our priority should be placing the Empress in a safe place".

Soon, the column of marines sets out across the martian landscape. They travel on Hoverbikes, sort of a futuristic version of a Bedouin caravan. Six scout tanks also travel with the column, as well as a group of hovertrucks. The caravan proceeds twoards the Bajoni border, ETA one day.

OOC Note: No1 is "moving on Olympus." 96% of my population lives there. (Its quite possibly the largest city in the system.) If anyone attacks the city without Bajoni authroity or orders, they will die.

IC:

A Bajoni security team stepped out from a rock outcropping on surface. They were covered in heavy cloaks and facemasks to hide their skin from the sunlight. The leader motioned for the 2 to follow her. She walked back to the rock outcropping and waved her hand in a strange pattern, and a door appeared. "Must be that Elf magic." the LRR boss thought to himself. The door gently slid open, and the group proceeded inside...

The Drow leader removed her helmet and introduced herself, "I am Governor Indoril, in charge of the Mobile Infantry and governor of Bajon. Why is it you have come here?"

~The Nocturnal Empire~

The assisting troops will be accomodated in the subterranean barracks and a prefab surface camp being constructed now.
We've had none-UV lights built into the meeting rooms and main hallways to provide light to those who can't see in the dark. We will begin talks and strategizing tomorrow. (RL tomorrow evening)

"You are elves, our kin. We're here under orders to help you, and hunting vampires is a good source of amusement anyway", says the commander, "Aelosia has an open policy toward our dark kin, as a matter of fact, the 14,96% of our population is composed by drow".

I was actually talking to LRR, but whatever.

I'm not moving on olympus to attack it, i meant move on Olympus to attack the vampires. If you don't want the assistance of over 5 million troops i can pull them back.

I'm not moving on olympus to attack it, i meant move on Olympus to attack the vampires. If you don't want the assistance of over 5 million troops i can pull them back.

Okay, but I still don't want 5 million foreign soldiers going into my capital. That is destined to end bad. This operation is to be carried out as secretively as possible to reduce the risk of a panic. After we cleanse Olympus City, a larger scale force may be used to erradicate their bases throughout the wastelands.

Ok, sorry about that i'll correct the problem.



Ensign: Sir, Bajon officials have just informed me that they don't want all those troops marching into Olympus, due to the fact, the public isn't totally aware of the situation.

Gen. Duke: Hmmm. Send Kerrigan and her 30 man team into wreak havoc on those damn Vampires. Now have the rest of the our Martian forces fall back to their respective bases and DP's(Defense Platforms). Also Ensign, have commander Raynor form a considerably large strike force to search out the Vampire bases and eliminate them.

Ensign: Sir, Yes, Sir.

The Pilonese troops moved into the Barracks. They were anxious to move out and confront this menace however and were soon petitioning the higher ranking officers as to when they would get some action.

The two stumble inside, and attempt to answer the questions.

"Uhh.... Zeb, this was your idea. You tell them."
"We wish to know more about these 'Demons' and 'Lifesuckers.' We are currently unaware of the situation and would like to become more aware."
"Yep, thats pretty much it."

Elsewhere..........

The column of LRR marines approaches the walls of bajon. At the head of the column rides the Duke of Earl, flanked by a Colonel and the Flag-Bearer.

http://fotw.vexillum.com/images/u/us~p1862.gif

The column stops, and the three at the head of the column ride forth to the border, the signal lamps on the hovertrucks signaling their intention toe help.

As the orders go out to Raynor and Kerrigan, General Duke sits pondering what his hext step will be, when suddenly a disturbed Lieutenant rushes into the room panting and looking as though he has seen a ghost.


Lieutenant Michaels: Sir, we've just recieved video from commander Raynors group, you must come quick it's unbelievable.

As Gen. Duke follows Michaels to the control room of the Brontes II Defense Station he sees all of his top ranking officers piled around the monitors apparently watching the tape. The General seats himself and begins to watch the footage and is horrified at the images Raynor has sent back. Just then Raynor walks in the room and approaches the General.

Raynor: Theirs thousands of them we'll never stop them all.
Continued...

OOC: Bajon, mind if I get in on this? How would the Bajoni react to a... sizable Menelmacari force?

Also I wanna test out some vampire-killin' weapons. \^_^/

~Siri

The Duke soon reaches hailing distance of the Bajoni frontier posts. The Flag-bearer takes out a long brass horn, and bellows the Horn Concerto by Mozart.

"Hallo! Is there anyone there?"

OOC: Menelmacar, come on in...
IC:

Governor Indoril looked over the man and his robot for a moment.
"Your backgrounds checkout, so I will brief you on the situation. The lifedrin... ah, thats right, you don't know them. Hmm... ah yes, I believe Vampire is the word humans use. Yes, thats it. Anyways, if I may continue on. They have infested the lower levels of Olympus City, the grand capital of Bajon. For awhile, they stayed confined in the deepest levels, but recently they have been coming up to the more inhabitted levels and feeding. Empress Redoran and myself have been organizing a force to drive them from the Undercity of Olympus and them whipe them out from their bases in the wastelands. We would appreciate LRR support, and we have detected a column of your soldiers at the border. They will be directed here. In the mean time, a bunk will be made ready for you. Any questions?"

~The Nocturnal Empire~

Terran Dmoinion:
"Please refrain from any attacks. Send a small force of your men to these coordinates. That is where the coalition force is gathering to plan the campaign. We want this to remain as secretive as possible until the alotted time. An ill advised attack could lead to disastrous consequences."

(Coordinates are for the border base where everything else is taking place for now)

The Pilonese Troops at the Border base are all issued UV lights that attach to the top of their weapons. Studies from Vampire Lore indicate that UV light may be harmful to the creatures.

STARCRAFT! YEY :)



[OOC]

AS the coordinates are relayed to the general he sends out a message to Kerrigan to bring her squad and assemble with Raynors group as the location.

It had taken a long time for the Wazzu government to decide to do nothing, and that was unusual. Wazzu was a nation made by and for corporations, so decisions typically had only to do with profit or the defense of capital. Something about Vampires had chilled Wazzu leaders, but in the end, they made their decison. It would not be financially prudent to lend help.

But no government is truely a single entity. Governments are made of individuals, political parties, corporations, non-profit groups, and a whole host of other entities...Wazzu is no different.

And perhaps thats why one particular Wazzu company did see profit in offering free help....

"Are you sure the vaccine will work on Drow?"

"Well, it ought to. The Tor Yvresse varient works on other species of elf. If it doesn't, a small change should be all that is needed. And there are others going down there."

"I'm still hesitant about your proposal."

"Sir, I understand, but don't be. We have huge stockpiles of the product left, and sales have been miserable for decades. We need a boost. What better ad campaign then to give aid to those sending the bloodsuckers back to hell? As soon as it all becomes public, many of those soldiers will want to vaccinate their families. Many civilians will want to be safe in the night. Hunters everywhere will look well on our corporation. Our product will sell again in the increasingly devided world over vampirism."

"Your a dreamer Ivan, thats something I've always liked about you. I dislike making a corporate position on it, but perhaps it is time to. To sales."

The executive and sales director each raised their glasses and tosted.

------

A message was secretly sent to nations known to Wazzu (and therefore Wazzu Lifeworks) to be joining in on the great crusade.

"Wazzu Lifeworks offers to vaccinate all participating forces against vampirism. The vaccine works in elves, humans, and dwarves and against all currently known types of vampires.

"The vaccine causes an alergic reaction to vampirism. Byte victems will find themselves sick for between 2 and 48 hours but will suffer no worse effects and will not become vampires. Vampires will feel intense burning and pain when biting victems. Those who do not drink blood will suffer the same allergic symptoms as their victem. Those drinking small amounts of blood may suffer from any or all of vomiting, migranes, dysentry, bloating, rashes, runny nose, caughing, red eye, nausia, fever, and other sever symptoms. Those vampires who drink large amounts of blood risk death as the victems blood attacks the vampires body.

"As no cost is being incured, we can not guarentee the vaccine monitarilly, but it has a very long history of working in 100% of cases. We hope you'll accept this free offer for the safety of your warriors."

-Wazzu Lifeworks Sales Dept.

As strike force Alpha approached the coordinates of the "meeting" they began to get strange radar signals.

Kerrigan: Jim look at this it appears to be a very large something moving around out there.

Raynor: What the location of the radar signal?

Kerrigan: 3 miles East Jim. Should we check it out?

Raynor: Send Montag and Kazansky to check it out, but tell them to be careful.

.......................................................

20 minutes later Montag and Kazansky approach the location of the mass.


Kazansky: Oh my god, Montag look.

Montag: what could be so interesting. HOLY CRAP! What the hell is that?

Kazansky: Theirs thousands of them out there. We've got to warn the others, lets get moving and start transmitting as soon as this crap equipment is in range of the strik force. MOVE OUT.

I would get involved, my population being 80% moon elves, 15% vampires, and the remaining 5% is pretty much random races, mostly elves. I wouldn't know who to support in this situation, the drow, or the vampires. Regardless, I'm staying out of this one, for now ...

"I would like to start the operation on Olympus as soon as you could get the permission", said the Aelosian Commander, cocking her mithril needle gun. "I'm eager to show those vamps what an elven warrior can do".

OOC: Menelmacar, come on in...

"Are you sure you want to do that, Zeb?"
"Of course, boss. Its fine."
"Well, alright. Your honor, is there anywhere that I could have a smoke?"

His addiction was flaring up again.

Meanwhile, at the border........

The LRR convoy continues to wait for Bajoni entry clearance.

And the marines in the column are eating canned mashed potatoes and applejuice as they sit on their BUMP cannons, ready for the upcoming engagements.

The CEO of Wazzu Lifeworks was getting impatient. It was a bad habbit of his. He liked and trusted his cheif of sales...but he couldn't help wondering if no one would accept the proven and free vaccine for their soldiers. He couldn't help wondering that even if they did, if it would be a good marketing move. Perhaps that paranoia, that cautiousness mixed with the aggressiveness and willingness to listen to the experts under him was what made him such a good CEO. Perhaps it was also responsible for his nearly constant stress.

*bump*

EDIT: Seems the bump was unneeded...consider it a reminder instead. :)

~The Nocturnal Empire of Bajon~

OOC:
Steel, shut-up. ;-)

Empress Redoran,

The vaccine is being offered by Wazzu Lifeworks, a Wazzu based company, and not in concert with the Wazzu government.

It was determined a regular vaccine would not work, there are too many types of this particular 'demon'. The vaccine works by developing a sever alergic reaction to vampirism in the host. Cells that turn 'vamperic' are thus destroyed by the body before they can infect other cells, natural or magical nature does not matter. Similarly, cells in the blood from a vampire bite victem will attack the offending vampire.

The vaccine has been developed for humans, dwarves, and both eldar and elves. It has not been tested on drow, but should not be dangerous even if it does not work. If given a tissue sample, Lifeworks could easily tell you if the elvish version would work on your race. If not, we could develop the formula in a minimal amount of time.

If you do not wish to give out tissue samples, we can tell you how to test the vaccine yourselves, but we could not help develop a drow version without the samples if the elvish version did not work.

~Wazzu Lifeworks Sales Dept.

"We will obey your direct orders, at least that was what the High Command of Aelosia told us. We eon't harm any elves, but what we should do if we found a first born infected?, Should we capture him, or just dispose of them as with the rest of the lifedrinkers?", said the Aelosian Commander, her men almost ready with the equipment.

Commander Leif is somewhat confused as to who the Bajoni governor is adressing, but since Zebulon was a robot, he assumes that the comment is diirected at himself.

"Thankyou, your honor. By the Way, my name is Commander Leif Indigo."
"Boss, shall I contact the column?"
"Go ahead, Zeb. Er....he's named Zebulon, your honor."
"Earl, you are cleared for entry."

A crackled response comes back;

"We roger that. Moving in."

The column gets underway, quickly crossing the Bajoni border. They begin to search for other allied forces.

OOC: Well i just read back over my post and i never said it was vampires, so i could turn it into something maybe.

The Pilonese soldiers began to grow impatient. The commander of the Pilonese forces, Brigadier General Joule Mayfair sent a request to Bajon to begin moving in reconnaisance forces to determine the whereabouts and capabilities of the enemy and to begin low level skirmishes to test the effectiveness of Pilonese issued weaponry.

The LRR column continues to move out, and halts within sight of the Bajoni capital.

The duke climbs off of his hoverbike, onto a large boulder giving a better view of the capital than he would have otherwise. He takes out his spyglass (http://www.stanleylondon.com/tele28spy1.jpg) and observes the city.

"Hmm.....hmm......awww. This is nothing. Vampires? Is that what they are all in a row about?"
"This presents quite a dilemma. Do we show compassion and allow the vampires to live, or do we give them a healthy dose of plasma?"
"I vote plasma."

Before long, a Uller class MLS is brought up within firing range of the city. A second and third are positioned close by. They target their plasma warheads at the center of the vampire concentration.

"Bajoni control, this is LRR column A. We are in firing position of the capital. May we let fly?"

Several transmissions are sent out:

Pilonese General:
"Affirmative, move in your scouts and recon. Be cautious, we need not lose needless lives. Some of my recon teams will assist your men."
-Governor Azura Indoril

Wazzu Lifeworks:
"You will recieve a tissue sample with this response. I feel that you would eventually gather Drow samples anyways, and so it will only benefit my people to go ahead and give one to you. I wish to be informed of every possible side-effect of this vaccine. If any of my people are harmed from it, we will retaliate against you and your nation. This isn't a threat, merely a precaution. I await your response."
-Empress Nisha Redoran

LRR Forces:
"Negative, do not fire on the city. (It's underground anyways) We may have another use for your artillery and soldiers. We have discovered an abandoned military base about 75 Km south of Olympus Mons' southern slope. It is located on the coast and has been inhabited by the vampires. If you accept this mission, it will be your job to destroy all opposition there. The base is of no concern, and may be destroyed if you wish to take that route. If you do this, it will prove your trustworthiness, and will lead to other objectives for your forces."
-Governor Azura Indoril

All Involved:
"From now on, you will be communicating with my feild commander, General Sil. She is more than capable of directing the war."

Recon Forces moved out. Every force consisted of 8 soldiers with light personal shields and the typical gear issued to a soldier of Pilon.
The began to systematically move throughout the city trying to stay as unnoticed by the native population as possible. Their scanners searched for Bajonni with unnatural lifeform readings typical of what a vampire would have. Every group took on a Bajonni guide to help them navigate the city and patrol without getting lost.

The Aelosian team stand ready, leaving the Headquarters in a perfect formation "We're starting the hunt in the streets, with your permission, of course. We will track the lifedrinkers and erase them. We won't use heavy weapons to minimize the collateral damage", announced the commander to the Bajon authorities.

"Roger that, Bajon. We're moving out. Expect about 10 contacts to enter your airspace soon. They are our air support."

The column moves out, the hoverbike-mounted troopers (25/100) in a very loose spearhead formation at the head of the column. The heavy vehicles, consisting of 3 Uller MLSs, 4 Letzelle APCs, 1 grizzly MBT, and 6 Zetakat AFVs, move across the landscape in a line, weapons manned and ready.

The Aelosian team stand ready, leaving the Headquarters in a perfect formation "We're starting the hunt in the streets, with your permission, of course. We will track the lifedrinkers and erase them. We won't use heavy weapons to minimize the collateral damage", announced the commander to the Bajon authorities.

To the Aelosian Forces:
"Take a recon team with you. The city is vast, and it is easy to become lost, even when accustomed to the streets."

To all teams entering the city:
"Take these armpatches and have your men wear them. They are Bajoni police patches, so if you are seen, you will not cause worry among the people."

The convoy nears the base by nightfall, and the MLSs are within visual range. the Duke of Earl, along with the colonel and flag bearer, climb to the top of an elevated boulder. The duke takes out his spyglass and scans the base.

"U1, you feel like firing a few hot ones into the main hanger area?"
"Ok. We've got three loaded right now. Targeting.......I have a trajectory."
"Ready to fire!"
"Two warheads, primed......away!"

A pair of missiles streak out of their launcher and twoards the hanger area. As the missiles fly their course, the column changes its position, and prepares an attack. A five-craft flight of Warbrat gunships make their way to the base from a hastily-prepared foreward strip, armed with dumbfire missiles and special silver-tipped bullets. Another 20 marines are en-route on board a Thrusta landing craft.

"Copy that, General Sil, we will wait until the recon team arrives to our position in the outskirts of the city", said the commander through the comm link.

"What is this thing?", asked a bulky elf (by elf standards) with silvery hair, to his partner, holding the armpatch of the Bajoni police.

"I don't know, looks like badge, but it doesn't stitch to our armor", answered a slim drow woman, holding a long fusion rifle on her hands.

"Just put that thing on, ok?. Think that you're cops of the Bajoni goverment", shouted an officer, a blonde elf of clear Noldorin heritage.

Before long, the LRR column is pummeling the base with weapons fire. The Grizzly MBT pounds away at major buildings with well-aimed plasma shots, while the top gunner picks off anything that moves with a machine gun. The APCs move in close to their targets, and deploy teams of infantry, who fire wildly at the base before diving for cover behind some rocks, where they set up HMGs. The APCs themselves pepper the buildings with cannon fire, the fragmentation shells doing much damage. The AFVs, better described as recon cars, close in on the base, their minigun turrets blasting anything that moves. The Uller MLSs are on the lookout for any unnoticed parts of the base. The element of hoverbike troops advances into the base at maximum speed, the riders using their light blasters and sub-machine guns to great effect. The MBT and APCs, as well as the recon cars move into the base area, proviing covering fire for the infantry and hoverbike troops.


After the base is thoroughly destroyed, the column ceases fire and begins to look around.

"Bajoni command, we've destroyed the base. What should we do now?"

"Bajoni command, we've destroyed the base. What should we do now?"

OOC:
Sorry, I've been busy, and Im in a war with ADK now :roll: .

If its okay with everyone (you mainly, and Pilon if he shows up again), I'd just like to say that we helped each other kill off the Vampires in the city, and then took care of the rest of them in the wastelands, and now LRR has been able to open diplomatic relations with Bajon. yada yada.
