Civil Unrest: Court House Under Siege (SERIOUS, INVITE ONLY)

"Straken, are you sure about this?"

"I'm positive what we are about to do is for the greater good of Neo-Wu, my Liege."

"I pray to the heavens you are right, Colonel."

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

The locals of Lorien stood bewildered and in awe at the massive war machines passing through their town. Tanks, mobile artillery, humvees, ATP's; all prepped and ready for conflict. Dozens of Blackhawks filled the sky, ready to deliver their cargo upon their unsuspecting target. Strangely enough, their target was not an international enemy, but a building they swore to protect when they enlisted into the Imperial Legions...

The workers at the Supreme Imperial Court House just outside of Lorien hadn't noticed much wrong, but their did seem to be more noise from outside than usual. They had no idea what was about to go down, much less understand that it will change Neo-Wu forever. The blackhawks began to encircle the court house, like vultures about to swoop down on a rotting carcass.

Four artillery platforms steered off the main road and entered a small forest, just 900 feet away from the building. They found a nice spot in the middle of the trees to initiate the bombardment, and the soldiers on the platforms began to plug the firing coordinates into the digital tracking device. After entering the information, the massive cannon barrels automatically realligned themselves in order to match the target given. After that, the men and women of the artillery battery waited quietly for the Commissar to give the orders to attack.

A loud beep began to echo inside the command tank from the communications link. The Commissar picked pressed the flashing green button, and put on the headphones.

~Battery in place, sir. Awaiting orders to initiate bombardment.~

"Excellent. Begin the attack."

~At once, my Liege.~

In a matter of seconds, the courthouse erupted into smoke, fire, and falling stone. The panicking Neo-Wuwians inside began to evacutate, sprinting madly to their cars. The battery shot again. This time, one shell went astray and landed in the middle of the parking lot, hurling cars and civilians into the air. They shot again.

The tanks closed off the main road from both sides, in order to keep the people from the courthouse from escaping. As the court workers tried desperately to leave, the Blackhawks began to release the soldiers into the parking lot and into the road. The infantry immediately gunned down the civilians and hand cuffed them, as large transport trucks drove up to the carnage to haul them away.

It did not take long for news casts to reach the scene, since some people from in town phoned them earlier about the military's movement. When the news teams reached the battlezone, all that was left were some demolished cars, and a smoldering court house. The platoon was not fast to leave, either. They wanted the whole world to see that Neo-Wu had suffered a surprise attack from themselves. For some, it was the beginning of the end. Once the Emperor found out, complete mobilization of the Legions would occur, and when that happened, the civil war would be under way....

The Gradenkian embassy in the midst of the City heard the bombardment .

The Military Liason for the Gradenkian embassy recognized immediately that a siege was going on. But what made him shudder was that the bombardment was heard in the city.

" This is not good...Could it be ?..No...Neo wu is too stable for a coup....but is it possible?.I'll better alert the ambassador "

<he walks to the Ambassador's office and alerted him. After that he switched on the television to get the latest news on the whatever is happening in the city. >

He contacted his Embassy staff and ordered his small security team to increase security. The Liason officer decided to be cautious...he did not want to lose this embassy like what happened in Ell....if indeed what he suspect is true.

The bombardament took Miray by surprise. He was at a bar, near the Gradenk embassy, taking some shots for TVRev with his poketcamera. He needed money, and he hoped that he'll send good stuff this time, so he'll make the newsbulletin and get paid. He run to the parking lot to get a better view, but then the hole world errupted, and he found himself dodging a rain of cars and human parts.
This will never work
The forest! He'll be safer there! And he start running toward the trees.
What the...
Humans. Military troops. Unknown Uniforms, but humans. Not a word... Just a short hit with the gun in the head and some hancuffs. And then the night...

Ramm saw Miray, the reporter entering the forest. But he was safe on the top of a building, watching from above. He knew that the emperor did not ordered any tanks in the city. So the moment he saw them, he was up in an elevator and on the best spot. Just like they told him. He saw the tanks, the explosions and the soldiers. He filmed everything and then he blew a whissel.
The dove appeared. One of the many doves in the city. One of the many ones used by RevTerr secret service, FSR, to transport messages.
Roman will know what happened...

Communique on all open band.


The Gradenkian Diplomatic Corp wishes to know what's happening in the city. To all Embassies, If you know anything, Let's share the information.


<back at the Embassy >

The Liason officer, Major Shankar decided to check out the situation in the city. He hoisted a white flag alongside the Gradenkian flag on the antenna on his Gradenkian Land Rover Jeep. ( Civillian version but heavily armored..ie the latest land rover series)

He started the vehicle and drove outside of the embassy, heading towards the bombardment area. His aim was simply to find any evidence of military activity. Once found, He'll head back...He hopes that whoever it is will not fire on his jeep. The Gradenkian Military is now on the verge of war with it's once close ally Ell, He must make sure that a regional war does not break out. He arrives a safe distance away from the city. He stops his car and scans the surrounding.

OOC: Are there any troops or any form of military buildup ?

Roman did not know what happened.
In the capital city of RevTerr, Commander Revert woke up to find that the peace he hoped he will find was not there. This time it was not Radu or that armament fanatics, it was a little FSR report. And a reporter.
The report told him about some tanks blowing up Lorien Courthouse in Neo-Wu. Pictures from diferent corners of the streets, close-ups, rumors and stuff like that. Ambassador Kroli, on his way to Neo-Wu to open the embassy, was informed. He'll deal with that.
The reporter, Brux To, told him something very concearning. It seemed that one of the prisoners, a so called Miray Dan, was a RevTerran citizen, working as a freelancer for TVRev. He illegally entered NeoWu and, as FSR saw, was captured.
Listen to me, Brux. I want you not to broadcast this, in the interest of our nation security. And spear me of that public right-to-know and TVRev independence. We have to play dead and hope that no one will blame us for what happened in Lorien.
