Oliver was tired. It was 4:07 in the morning, and he had gotten up at 6:00am the day before. But now he looked at his work, and smiled. The executive order infront of him was his first EO, and the last Imitora would see. Ever. He took the paper, and locked it in a safe under his desk, and retired.

Three Days Later

All stations, regardless of broadcast location, blacked out for a second, then the Imitora Emergency Broadcast Signal came up. All the frequencies were being tuned to a singular signal. Once it was done, all international frequncies willing to accept the signal saw the same thing as the Imitorans did. The Imitoran Senate building surounded by military gaurd. Several tanks as well had their cannons focused on the building, and a set of barricades surounded the building. A young woman of Asian decent stood infront of the building, wearing a grey suit, and an Easton News Network press pass.

She spoke with a seeming hint of fear in her voce, but she kept her composure, and managed to speak clearly.

"Good morning. I'm standing here in front of the Imitoran senate building, where as you can see, somethign big as, well, happened. No one is quite sure what exactly it is that is happening, or when the senate building was surounded. However, President Oliver is expected to speak on this topic later. More developments as they come."

OOC: hmmmmmmmmm :?

IC: hmmmmmmmmm :?

OOC: prepare for war !!

ICC: Intell is monitoring events..

IC:

Besides the days event as they had been going, things were almost normal. After all, the troops were only around the senate building, and all teh senators had been at home when the move happened. However, it didn't still the fear of the Imitoran people that something major might be happening.

OOC:
Just building the suspense till the speach.

In a sudden suprise move, a column of HMMWVs could be seen moving out of Terdoa military base, the reserveist base just outside Veston, the capital of Imitora. Within hours, troops all but lined the streets, with armes Imitoran Marines on corners, in front of stores, and even in teh schools.

HMMWVs stood in parking lots, .50 machine guns and 7.64mm M60 twin mounts armed. Snipers lined building tops, and helicopters, mostly MH-6s, patrolled the air just over the city. Soon, other cities expirenced the same. No one ignored it, either. They stood, and watched the so called invasion of their homes. Normal police officers had disapeard, and members of SWAT units now patrolled where the military had yet to appear.

Official release from Presidential Mannsion to all Concerned

Today, at exactly 5:15AM IST, I, Admiral John Ross Oliver, have taken full control of the nation. Fear not, people of Imitora, for I do this for your own good. I do this to insure the safety of the nation. I do this to insure the safety of you, the people. I have renounced our status as a republic, and we know can officially call ourselves the people The United Martial Domain of Imitora. Furthermore, I have renounced our membership to the Allied Powers Alliance. We, the powerful people of Imitora, shall not be bound to an alliance which bends over backwards to appease a snigle member, to the point of asking an endangered member to leave. We do not belong to the cadre of the weak who wish only to make one happy. Fear not Imitorans, for as we have survived in the past, we shall survive now, and into the future! Stand by me, and we will be strong. Thank You and God Bless.

"Goddamnit, I knew this guy was a jacka__, but now he's a militarist nut..."
The President scowled as she again and again looked over the speech.
The SSA Director stood, looking over the files his crews had managed to dig up on Oliver.
"Any chance we can get operatives in?" Said Dleroes, looking at him.
"Not a snowball's chance in hell. Besides, Imitora is kind of a Op 1369 for most of our guys after the earlier times."
"So what are we supposed to do?"
"Ride out the storm..."

OOC: Heres the info that you'd pull up...

1998-2000: Imitoran Navy F-14D pilot
2005-2010: Served as Seceratery of Defense under President Lines. Removed for unknown reasons
2020: Starts BioLife Medical Corporation. BioLife becomes second largest private industry in Imitora
2025: BioLife finds cure to Lilith virus. Oliver requests senate to remove President Waitkus from office. Upon her removal, Olive is voted in President. Oliver assumes control of government.

"WHAT?!" President Harrington snapped at her Secretary of State, still irritated from the meeting. The man dropped a sheet of paper on the table and quickly left. After Harrington read the paper, she dropped it in the fireplace. Sighing, she crosses the room to a small recessed niche and opened a small set of polished wood doors.

Harrington then pulled out another sheet of paper (this time glossy), stuck it on a circular board on the wall and stepped back. "Whatever" thunk "respect" thunk "I had" thunk "for Oliver" thunk "has just" thunk "vanished!" thunk. Harrington them calmly removed the darts and tore the damaged photo of President Oliver to shreds.
