The snow reflected the bright light of the sun into the man's eyes, and he pulled his sunglasses down, shielding his vision from the reflection. He strolled down Runway 13L, watching the two Su-47-1200s shoot down the other runway, banking off into the morning sky. Soon, the brains in the R&D department would finish the modifications to the Raysian fighter, change the designation, and sleep in beds in new houses.

He turned, and continued walking down the runway towards hanger #133. It was non-discript, and painted a simple matte black. However, a disproportionate number of guards, 15 to be infact, stood by it, armed with Type 100 carbines and Type 93 Sniper Rifles. As he approached, he nodded to the gaurds, saluting. They returned the motion, and he walked past.

He walked through the personel door, and standing in front of him was, in his opinion, one of the most beautiful aircraft he had ever seen. "Colonel," one of the men around the aircraft said, nodding. The pilot, who had know removed the aviator style sunglasses, nooded back.

He appraoched the plane, and put his hand on the fighter. He smiled, he could feel the history and power flow through the fighter. He stretched is arms out, running his hand along the airframe. A voice spoke from behind him. "Col. Watanabe, are you ready?"

Col. Akira Watanabe turned back, and nodded. He looked back towards the fighter, smiling as thoughts filled his head. One thought in particular...Tora, Tora, Tora!

Bump for OOC COmments, will have an IC part two up in a bit

Watanabe popped his neck as he sat looking out the cockpit of the fighter. His golved hands rested on the stick and throttle, and he settled into his seat. In front of him was a little less than a mile of runway. He was surounded on all sides by mountains, the only opening a gap in front of him. "Cherry Blosom, this is Oni One, preflight is good, am lined on runway, request permision for take off, over."

"Oni One, you are cleared for take off on Runway 17L. Tora. Tora. Tora."

Akira pushed the throttles forward against the stops, the wheel brakes holding the fighter in the place despite the amount of thrust pushing the fighter. He flipped a switch mounted in front of the twin throttle levers to the 'ESTO' position. Small vents on the under side of the aircraft opened, venting near 50% of the produced thrust towards the ground. The rest exited from the engine nozzles on the back of the aircraft that had been rotated to an upward angle. He released the brakes.

The fighter travled no more than one hundred and fifty feet before leaping off the ground, noseing to an 85 degree angle, the vents closing and engines rotating back to a 0 degree incline. The fighter shot up, rolled once, and then leveled off.

Watanabe, using the HOTAS system, activated teh glide path, and on teh canopy in front of him, a serries of green bars seemed to hove in air, leading him on his destined path for the flight. He was heading towards the Sea of Japan, where he would bank again, down towards Toyama. From there, he would turn again, towards Tokyo.

OOC: Feel free to RP radars picking the fighter up, or satalites seeing the launch of the fighter or something like that, or getting involved in general.

:TAG:

OOC: TAG. must go to bed, but definately will keep eye on this.

*Tag

(Have no idea how I'm to get involved. Taiwan has next to no force projection.)

OOC: How do you feel about mixing tech levels? I could have a sat pickup the fighter or I could have a patrol of Aerofighters drop in on him from orbit when he reaches international waters. It's up to you to decide, as it is your RP.

OOC: They can drop in on him if you want

Akira banked in the fighter, turning towards Tokyo, the drone of the engines comforting to him. He rolled the fighter a few times, before diving low. He cruised right over downtown Tokyo, inverted, showing off the fighter to the people. He reverted, and dove even lower as he cruised out over the bay, towards the ships. One of the small picket ships picked up the fighter, its lesser radar classifying it as a sea skimming missle.

The fighter nosed up over the ship, climbing to 5,000 feet, and the pilot depressed a button in the cockpit. The result was like a kick in the pants. The Pulse Detonation Hybrid engines kicked into the PD stage, and the fighter jumped speeds, slamming through the sound barrier, apraoching Mach 2 rather quickly. Within seconds, he was over international waters.

"He's not turning back?" the Supreme Chancellor asked the man on the other end of the phone.

"No. He was supposed to turn south over Tokyo bay, head towards one of the smaller islands for weapons testing. Right now, he's out over the Pacific somewhere. He might have just underestimate the power of the hybrid PD engines, but its unlikely."

"Very well, I will inform the Empress. Also, be ready to scramble a response squadron. If hes armed with live weapons, this could be very bad."

"Hai." The phone clicked dead.

OOC: One note, this is not teh fighter that Raysia designed for me, this is a standard Su-47-1200, however, it is one of the technology test beds, so its got some cool stuff on it. By the end of December, we will be manufacturing our own version of the Su-47-1200 (But not selling them) which will have minor changes (avionics stuff) and wont be called the Su-47-1200 Eagle.

*tiggidy tag, heard my name :)*

OFFICER: Analysis?

TECH: Im not sure, sir. It was moving rather quickly, but it seemed to be exibiting maneuvers I'd attribute to a fighter aircraft.

OFFICER: Heading?

TECH: Not towards us, sir. It seems to have headed out over Pacific international waters. Should I request satellite focus?

OFFICER: Just keep an eye out, corporal. I'll alert command, so the info gets conveyed to fighter patrols and whatever naval assets we've got out there...

OOC: Its actually quite likely... a certain larger not-to-be-named nation *cough*THELAS*cough* has been looking suspiciously aggressive towards Spyr, and the Spyran military has been quite paranoid, leading to increased spy... err...defensive intelligence acquisition in the region, sothat we arent taken off-guard (my nation is on a (non-existant in RL) peninsula that stabs into the Sea of Japan, so i figured Kajiraki falls into the sphere of paranoia... unless my geography is wrong, in which case someone in military intel is gonna get a talking to about wasting valuable intelligence assets peering in somewhere they shouldnt have...)

"Holy crap... CSS Apollo this is Patrol 4, we've got ourselves a hotrodder over Japan. He's.. damn, he's headed out into the Pacific. Want us to take a look?"

"Roger Patrol 4, permission granted.

"Okay boys, let's give him a show of our own..."

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

Diving from the upper atmosphere, the three Viper-II (http://home.earthlink.net/~alpha_zero_usm/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/apollo.jpg) fighters dove on a course that the other pilot could easily see.

When they reached a few thousand feet they broke formation, climbed straight up, did four point rolls and not one, but two inverted loops before forming up again on a parallel course, still slightly ahead of him.

The leader flipped the radio on and watched the jet. "How you doin' today sir? I don't believe I've seen that class of jet have that kind of acceleration before."

***Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean***

Life aboard the Tsunami Class Fleet Carrier, the Maelstrom was dull. Slowly cruising through the waters of the Pacific, the Maelstrom was enroute to the 5CN Naval Base on Hainan. Alongside, a trio of Trafalgar Class Littoral Combat Ships and a pair of Hai Teng SSK/Hs cruised along.

On the bridge, the commander of the squadron, Vice Admiral Jun Li, sat in his chair, silently drinking coffee and smoking a cigar. Everyone was lounging about. The radar officer stood up and stretched. A minute later, as his eyes glanced once more at the screen, the radar officer started.

"Admiral Li, radar has picked up four unidentified aircraft flying two hundred klicks north away from our current location. They are going extremely fast..."

"Damn't... Just what I don't need... A problem... XO, scramble a CONTACT squadron and investigate..."

The executive officer glanced up and acknowledged.

Moments later, a dozen F-39G Corsair Interceptors catapulted off of the runway of the Maelstrom, heading north...

Specs on the F-39G Corsair

http://www.io.com/~curtis/images/dmnd-bk.gif

One of the pilots let out a small yelp, and looked at the numbers he was seeing. "Guys... we have company. A lot of it too."

The three Viper-II fighters change course and speed, slowly climbing away from the approaching fighters.

The squadron of F-39C Interceptors accelerated when they saw on their radar screens the departure of three aircraft.

This is Alpha Strike Leader to Alpha Strike Four, Five, and Six, follow those fighters...

This is Alpha Strike Four, acknowledged.

Three F-39C Interceptors peeled off and began to follow the Viper II fighters.

Meanwhile, the remaining nine Corsairs moved to surround the Su-47-1200...

"Ah, hell! Pull out boys. Head for the clouds and come around behind them. Full throttle if you can handle it." The fighters slpilt off and climbed in different directions, reaching mach 5 in seconds, then slowing to mach 2 in the turns, then up to mach six once they had circled around. The leader keyed the radio. "Come on people. Atmospheric fighters to Aerofighters? No contest."

OOC: Respond and then lets leave this to simmer until Kajiraki gets on.

The three Corsairs pursuing the Aerofighters all accelerated to their max speed, Mach 5.25. The pilots of the Aerofighters believed that they were facing standard atmospheric interceptors, but what the pilots of those aircraft didn't know was that the Corsair had been primarily designed for the role as an attack fighter. To the amazement of the pilots of the Aerofighters, the three pursuing Corsairs simply disappeared...

"Oh, what the hell?"
The 2 F-109Ns loomed up in the straosphere, with SCRAMjet FASTPACKS strapped on the ventral center mount. The aircraft were running standard on their BAPT-10910s, and the active lidar was painting an interesting picture of the swarms of aircraft.
"Roost, I want a scan run on that mess at grid 21-209 Most F*cking Pronto."
The E/B-42 designated Roost, which was a renamed version of a United Elias aircraft, began checking Lidar, EMS and Satellite Imagery on the area.
"Cuchillo 1, we're looking at 1 modified Berkut, Raysia pattern, FCN Naval Fighters bearing out of a CBG, and a mess of Crimmond Viper Twos. We're gonna check back with orders."
The datalink bursted an encrypted transmission to the Carrier Battle Group on it's "Pacifica Current" excersises, particularly to the Raven Center at the Supercarrier NESS New Empire, as Cunnigham Class destroyers began coating the sky with Lidar waves. The F-109Ns switched on Athena, as they disappeared off of every radar screen. They kept running Lidar, and began moving toward the Berkut. 10 other F-109Ns joined them, scrambling into the sky as electromagnetic catapults hurled them into the air.
"Well whaddya know, we're shadowing the shadowers."
"Cut it, hit Athena and turn of the radars. We go lidar only."
The variable geometry, forward swept wings flexed as they began their descent.
"Yeah, I know the manuals. The Four F*cking As, Athena, Accelerate, Acquire, Attack, repeat steps 2-4 as necessary."
"Watch yourself, no JITS, no shooting until shot at. I want radio silence, any necessary commo will be done over encrypted pulse.
At Mach 4, the F-109Ns advanced at the mess of Lidar blips and EMS signals.

*was gonna join in, but y'all started pullin out Uber tech.... I'll kick in if you guys drop to modernish.*

OOC-Ubertech? Crimmond maybe... But Lidar, Athena, PDE Hybrid engines, variable geometry wings are all technologies that exist today, or will within the next decade or two.

*was gonna join in, but y'all started pullin out Uber tech.... I'll kick in if you guys drop to modernish.*I asked before I sent them in. Give me SOME credit. And come on, they are three fighters and one orbiting excort carrier. I'm not uberwanking and pulling a SSD and three thousand TIE fighters out of my ass here. I've had the tech for months and just have never had a reason to use it in any RPs, as I'm a peaceful nation.

The Thirty First High Altitude Defence Brigade, based on outlying Shang-yo Island in the Pacific, scrambled a pair of J400 interceptors, planes designed to work in the exosphere or higher altitude conditions. Since the recent war with Japan, the commanders nearby werent taking any chances, and after the first two were airborne, they sent out a call to the West Coral Sea command station several hundred kilometers away, requesting aid from the futuristic nation.
********

Air defence stations all over EI were picking up the new threat and putting high altitude fighters on alert. What new devilry was this? Had the Japanese planned some more trickery to besiege the Islandians?

Naori, Land of the Shining Sun, was so close to Japan that people travelling there often said they walked there, because there was so little to seperate the islands. No one detected the fighter, but a few islanders may have heard the thunder of it's engines while taking off.

OOC-Ubertech? Crimmond maybe... But Lidar, Athena, PDE Hybrid engines, variable geometry wings are all technologies that exist today, or will within the next decade or two.ooc: 5 Civ Nations is going mach 5.25... I'll consider that future tech...

"Attention Foriegn Military Fighters, this is Roanian ATC. Break from your current course, or be intercepted." A team of harriers leapt into the air with the intention of launching a punishing barrage at any planes which thought themselves able to fly over New Rohan.

The pilots watched the Corsiars vanish, but watched them on scanners. "Nice moves. Pretty good against jets, but come on. We have to pick up fighters through everything from an asteroid field to hard radiation. Atmosphere over an ocean is pretty damn easy." he said over the radio to the pilots of the Corsiars.

The pilot heard the Roanian broadcast and sighed. "Not them again." The pilot commented over the radion, open to anyone listening. "Roanian jets, this is Patrol 4, CSS Apollo, Crimmond Empire. We were just trying to figure out why the Japanese plane is haeding out over the Pacific. I have no clue why the rest of these bozos are here, but I would REALLY suggest not opening fire, as that could be viewed as an unjustified attack on a soverign nation. We ARE still in international airspace."

"They will be dealt with. We advise you to turn around." The cliffs of Roania were becoming visible in the distance.

Presidential Palace

Images of the activity over the Pacific are shown to President Chen Shui Bian and his advisors. With the Sino-Japannese war still underway, and Taiwan being one of Sino's closest allies, it was more than a possibility that the approaching aircraft from Japan could be used to attack Taiwan.

A Virginia class submarine within 5 hours travel of the aircraft was sent to investigate, following confirmation that aircraft Taiwan's ally East Islandia were enroute.

OOC: If a nuclear submarine is found in Roanian waters, then your life becomes a great deal more interesting.

Though not necessarily better.

OOC: Roania, get over to the 'The End' thread. Your overdue for a post.(I'm going to wait for Kaj to post befor continuing, I would suggest the same of everyone else)

OOC: I'm going to wait for Kaj to post befor continuing, I would suggest the same of everyone else)

OOC: I'd wait, but I've been waiting for a chance to jump in :D

*Valient Royal Navy Stealth Carrier Vidion, under the helm of Admiral D'rtang, moves silently under invisi-mode 1. It is invisible to nearly all radar.

The Vidion's destination was home port in Alexandria, when suddenly planes with markings from over a hald-dozen nations shot by overhead, darting around in hypnotic acrobats in an opera only they knew the reason for.

Admiral D'rtang hesitates, and then radios to HQ with the details of the seeming war maneuvers. After a brief conversation, D'rtang gets off the channel, and turns to address his bridge crew.

"Gentlemen, we're not heading home just yet."

*Groans

"I know, I want to get home too, but at this point, President Valient personally wants us out here to keep an eye on things.

This is happening too close to the home front. We don't want to be caught flat footed again."

OOC: Another thread. Don't ask.

OOC: Ok, a few things first...I am located on the island of Japan. Yes, real life, present day Japan. Sometime in the next few days, I'll be doing a factbook thread taht will clear this all up. Next, based on where Spyr is located, this might prove intresting. Next, New Empire-Damn you. Thats all I have to say to you. I might as well not even go on with the ZII now. :lol: . Thirdly, I'm kinda ignoring the nation Japann. They spelled it with two 'N's, so they dont get to be on Japan. Next, Roania-if you value your pilots lives, you wont use the Harrier as an interceptor. Thats like using the F-16 as an ASW aircraft...pointless and stupid.

IC:

Watanabe watched the action around him, and continued on his course. He'd let everyone else duke it out, as he had other plans. He banked the fighter to the south, and continued cruising at a sensible speed twords a small dot on the virtual map played out on one of the LCD displays in the cockpit.

"Very well, Supreme Chancellor. What do you think we should do, Katsumoto?" the Empress asked the 30 year old Samurai, her real right hand man. While the Supreme Chancellor was one of the most important roles in the nation, Ryoko Kajiraki never really liked him.

"With great honor, Empress, I say we warn the Kido Island Facility, and send some of our fighters out to over watch it. Although, it may be to late with a rouge pilot taking off towards them. We should also issue a statement of some sort, let others know that everything is OK." He bowed, and took a step back.

"Yes. Excellent idea."
_____

Takya Watanabe was inside the weapons bay of his own SU-47-1200, making sure the radar and IR guided missles were firmly attached and properly armed. His squadron of fighters had been called up on emergency, and was being sent to the Kido Island Weapons Testing Facility for force protection.

He didn't know what force they were protecting the man made island from, but that wasn't his concern. He walked towards the front of the fighter, then climbed in. What did worry him was the report that the Su-47-1200 testbed, of which his brother was pilot of, had been stolen, and the ground crew gone missing.

He saluted his own ground crew, then taxied off to the runway.
____

The Empress signed the release, allowing the Supreme Chancellor to send the message, and then went back to her other duties, leaving the Supreme Chancellor to do his job.

[code:1:fb2ed4f49b]Nations of the world, you may have noticed increased airial activity from our nation. There is nothign to worry about, as we are simply running low altitude speed tests of the Su-47-1200 fighter. Thank you for your understanding

Supreme Chancellor, The Eternal Japanese Empire of Kajiraki
[/code:1:fb2ed4f49b]

OOC2: The Kido Island Weapons Testing Facility is a man made island EXACTLY 100 miles east of Tokyo, on a straight line. It is where the Empire tests its weapons, as well as holds war games, and soon will hold the EJEK international airshow. Also, the Supreme Chancellor has no name, as they come from a birth line, and therefore are not elected or appointed, only trained to serve the Emperor or Empress.

"Attention Roanians, this is Cuchillo Flight. You probably didn't see us, but we aren't anywhere near your ADIZ, so cut the crap."
The 12 F-109Ns continued to stealth themselves with Athena as they descended upon the chase.

"What do you think?" Colonel Cho Ningyi asked her wingman, Lieutenant Tranh Bo.

"They're Harriers," Tranh said immediately. "We can take them."

"Are we allowed to is the question," Cho replied. "Yoon Squadron is thirty klicks out in a holding pattern, but regardless, we dont have authority to blow Roanian fighters out of the air."

"We're supposed to be looking, remember?" Tranh said. "We're barely armed for effective air offense, if you can call six AST60s and three Mark IV ASXs threatening. Still, we can take those Harriers, but i suppose we should hold back and call command first."

Cho waited a little for Tranh to contact Islandian regional command, and fiddled with her HMS as she waited. She could see the Roanian locale of New Rohan up ahead, but as far as she could tell, New Empire forces were correct when they said they werent in the Roanian ADIZ.

Still, they were two fighters, and not exactly an offensive force, even if both carried eight advanced interception missiles.

"Hold back," Tranh reported. "Establish a holding pattern and wait for Jung Squadron. They'll handle the actual tracking, and they should be here in a minute."

"The Jap will be gone in a minute," Cho announced.

"We cant disobey command," Tranh said. "They will scuttle our careers quickly and without hesitation."

"Screw my career," Cho muttered. A ten year veteran of the EIAF's High Altitude Defence arm, she had flown state of the art tech (OOC For a modern nation at least) since she graduated from the Aerospace Training College's High Flight Operations school when she was twenty four. She knew that Command would not scuttle her career, as she was one of the better qualified, if older pilots, even at thirty four years of age. Most pilots, like Tranh, were hotshots out of ATC Intercept School, and had about twice her energy at half her age.

She sighed, and as the planes from Jung Squadron, a primarily Korean Islandian unit came into view, pushed her throttles to full and raced towards Roanian airspace, gaining altitude. The ten J400s of Jung Squadron followed, and the twelve planes flitted across the sky at high altitude in pursuit of the Japanese fighter.
********

"Get me President Chen," Premier Qu ordered as he picked up the phone line. "He and I have need of discussion."

Meanwhile, Admiral Shun and General Qiao stood by, awaiting orders from the Premier. They had already ordered a pair of Naga class catamaran cruisers just outside the boundary line near Roanian waters. An Imperial class SSN and a pair of Sea Tiger class assault cruisers were also nearby, in case the Roanians tried anything.

Qu did not want to start a war, and even though his nation and the Roanians did not have a very favorable impression of each other from past dealings and Roania's rumored imperialist leanings, he wanted to work something out.

"Hello? Oh, Premier Qu, good to hear you. What's the matter?"

Ever since the end of the war in 1953, South Dalanian forces had used Che-ju Island, the closest post to Kajiraki, as a monitoring point on Kajiraki's activities. The occupation by Kajiraki over fifty years ago still left the military worried if the Land of the Rising Sun concealed other designs for the peninsula.

The station's systems did not pentrate anywhere near the dogfighting raging near Tokyo, but enough radio traffic was being plucked from Kajiraki civillian ships located in the Sea of Japan.

"Yo, Chong. Check this radio traffic," spoke one of the technicians as he tapped his cigarette out in a ceramic ashtray next to him. "Seems all hell's broken loose over Tokyo."

"I knew it! They're planning to invade!" shouted the other man as he reached for the red phone, the direct line to military HQ in Seoul. "We need to inform---"

"Hold on Park!" shouted the first man as he adjusted his headphones. "They haven't mentioned us at all....its just that there's a ton of aircraft doing the shooting thing over Tokyo."

The second man sighed in relief. "That's good to hear....we should inform Seoul anyways, they might want to move a few squadrons down here, should the fighting move out over the Sea of Japan."

The three Viper pilots confered over a codded channel and gave a response so old, no one in the Empire could place where it was from, "These are Viper-II Advanced Aerofighter Interceptors. Max atmospheric speed is mach 8. Armed with Swarm Missile racks and Ion Cannons. You are in Harriers. You have to ask yourself... do you feel lucky?"

The three fighters don't change course or speed, heading directly towards the Roanian Harriers, figuring they wouldn't fire on fighters of an ally.

"Greetings PResident. I trust your air defence networks have picked up our Japanese intruder," Qu said dryly. "What do you think? An attack, or is it what the Empress says it is, a test run over sovereign airspace?"

Akira watched the dogfight going on above and around him, and held his course. He banked again, this time at an angle, and levled off. He would succede in his mission, no matter what. The single weapon in the weapons bay of his aircraft would insure that.
------
"Christ," the younger watanabe cursed as his squadron of fighters opened over Tokyo bay. "Its a small air war out here. Broadcast friendly signles on all channels, we dont want any to think we are going after them."

OOC: An air war where no one has fired a shot, strangly.

*VRN Stealth Carrier Vidion came to a dead stop 1000 km off the coast of Japan. Just 200 kms to the west, aircraft with markings of over 6 different countries were still doing fancy acrobatics, yet without firing a shot.

Admiral D'rtang watches from the bridge of the Vidion. The sight of harriers and interceptors flying around was amusing him, yet making him dizzy.

"Commander?"

"Yes, Admiral?"

"What the hell is going on out there?"

"Well, as far as we know, there are planes from:

Kajiriki
Crimmond
East Islandia
South Dalania
Five CN
New Empire
Raysia

and our radar has picked up a Virginia Class Sub approaching fast from the east. Unknown on the country of origin."

"Why haven't they shot at each other yet?"

"Unknown sir. Intelligence on these countries are very sketchy."

"Alright, Kajriki planes are broadcasting friendly, so lets talk to them. Lets see if we cannot get some info out of SOMEONE."

*Personal Communique from Admirla D'rtang to Kajiriki forces.

"This is Admirla D'rtang of the Valient Royal Navy Stealth Carrier Vidion. We are a non-combatent, and request to talk to someone who can give us a few answers. If we do not recieve a reply, we will assume that you are compromised, and will enter this... theatre of action."

Admiral D'rtang
VRN Vidion.

A frigate of the Spyran navy has taken up position in international waters some distance from the site of the fighter maneuvers, and is currently holding station, observing events.

OOC: *munches popcorn* shots fired or no, this would certainly be a sight to see...

"Send out the Firebirds."

The harriers wheeled back to New Rohan, and in a matter of minutes a wing of black fighters had taken off, and was zooming towards the site of the other planes. "Mode Duel2." Weapon systems activated, but were not fired. "Attention foriegn planes! Turn around now! Flying any further will be an act of war!"

Roanian ATC sent a transmission back to the capital. "Foreign jets flying towards Roanian airspace... preparing to scramble air defense systems."

The Vipers slow to a stop where they where, hovering with atmoshperic control thrusters and literally turn around without making a positional change. "Before you yell at us some more... yes. We are a bunch of smartass pilots."

"Oh, put a cork in it, a__hole. We're over 90 miles from your territorial waters, and your wimpy little radars couldn't find us if we tried. Now call off your little birdies, before we give you a real reason to kill someone."

The Roanian pilots sent silent communications to each other. "Action: Affirmative. Irritation of Crimmond Pilots. Annoyed." The fighters switched into two delta formations.

"We demand the immediate destruction of any sensor readings you might have taken."

OOC: Roanians only allow Menelmacari flights over their land. And that is under sufferance.

"General, the Roanians are sending their interceptors at us," Cho reported as the Roanian fighters appeared on her radar.

"Stand down, Colonel. Direct orders from Forces Command," General Choong ordered.

"Shi." She flashed two red lights on the squadronwide frequency, and the planes wheeled around, heading for international waters.

Behind her, the Naga class cruisers moved to cover their exit, arming all air defence and strike missiles and downloading a series of target coordinates from satellite intelligence. SHould the Roanians attempt to fire at the exiting fighters, they had orders to retaliate against all "targets of opportunity."

Admiral Shun hoped it would not come to that.

Meanwhile, in the eastern Pacific ocean, the lone Zhou class SSBN Ningxia cruised, missiles at ready. They were to retaliate against Japan with conventional weapons should the lone Japanese fighter decide to attack any EI or Taiwanese installations.

"Take your ships out too. Otherwise, they shall be destroyed." Missile turrets along the Roanian coastline opened up, and began to display an immediate sense of security. More fighters were deployed, screening the entire island in an immense display of military might.

If the Japanese plane went any closer, there would be destruction on a scale never before seen in these waters.

OOC
my ships are outside your waters, near the international boundary lines.

IC
Captain Sung Minggu listened to the Roanians and watched their turrets deploy all along their coastlines. She was unimpressed with the show of force, and besides, she wasnt to start a war; as soon as those fighters get out, she would just hold positions.

She wasnt worried; Yoon Squadron was on standby, one of the crack Korean interceptor units in the EIAF.

*******
The Sea Tiger class catamaran cruiser Ah-jiu and its sister ship, the Islandian Dawn awaited the enemy, about thirty klicks east of the two Naga cruisers. All ships were outside territorial waters, and as soon as the fighters withdrew (half a minute) they were to stand down and hold their positions.

OOC: Aguans are a paranoid people. There will be an apology from the Prince for their acts.

"That was the decision of our ancestors, not for you to ponder.", replied Master General Luciello. "This really is of some concern, our good allies in East Islandia have already reacted to it. Normally I would get on the phone to SANCOM and the Admiralty, but we cannot ask them to deploy another fleet with tensions in the Bosphorus. Turi, send a message to East Islandia, see what they can do."

With that Maj. Salvatore Dicevole left the room and went to the communications office a few meters away. There he wrote his message:

EI Forces Command, Naval Directorate

OOC1: How many of you are located on true to life landmasses? I'm assuming EI is located on present day China (PRC), _Taiwann is on Present Day China (ROC, Fermosa), and Spyr, based no his descrpition is protruding from North Korea, although I could be wrong. South Dalania is South Korea, and I know Crimmond is Preswent Day Poland. How many of you are located near (like, within 50 miles) Hawaii?

OOC2: The lone fighter isn't broadcasting any signles at all. However, the squadron of fighters are heading out hot (PDEs on full power), but are broadcasting full friendly signles.

OOC3: Thanks for holding out from using pics. Im using a POS laptop right now that is a 28k connection, and wont know when I'll be back on a DSL line again.

OOC4: I should explain in general whats going on. Thers a 'terrorist' group that is a little less than pleased with the outcome of WWII. I'll let you devise whats going on from there. I will remind you though, that this is all OOC info, so no majically knowing whats going on.

IC:

Akira observed all the communications and ignored them all. He continued on his preset course. He was tempted to engage the PD system, but decided against it. He wanted to conserve fuel, and get as close to the target as he could. He breathed a sigh of relief as the other aircraft in the air continued to throw around threats and compete in their little threat match.

He looked at the picture of his father and mother, killed by the atomic bombs fallout. They would all pay for the sins.

Takya continued on course, pulling the throttles back, disengaging the PulseDet engines. He nosed down towards the KIWTF, bleeding off speed and altitude. "Kido Tower, this is Tanto Six, are clear for landing?"

"Hai, you are clear for landing. COme on down, enjoy the show our fighter as caused."

OOC: New Rohan is a large island in the north pacific. And you do not want to fly over it. Civilian aircraft that do so occasionally get shot down. Of course, if that terrorist group attacked Roania... then Japan would have more trouble then it wants.

EI is an island mass.
Think of it as Indonesia or the Philipines, only a lot kooler. (not that those two countries arent kool, jus they arent stable.)

Imitora and Agrigento know how well my CT forces are.

goodnite from here

ooc: Me and EI are both in the Central Pacific.
ic:

Thank you, we shall Rendezvous on the Northern Coast of North Islandia, it is on our way anways. Exact Coordinates in attached file

Soon a small detachment of ships, normally assigned to the Second Battle Group sailed out of Varisca.

Convoy Force Alpha - Second Battle Group

2 Animoso class destroyers
1 Andrea Doria (NUM) class Aircraft Carrier
2 Orrizonte class AAW Frigates

OOC: Roania...if you want to talk trouble, I could just go grab my other nation... :lol: Actually, I cant. Agrigento, this is no longer the Big I. He gave it to me last night, hes going to try and proove that NS isn't addictive. Of course, he is dating my sister, so I could just as well grab his password and use his old nation, lol.

OOC: Heh... I guess that means that I get to take vengeance for all the slights at your hand I suffered... nah. Keep up the IC posts.

"Greetings PResident. I trust your air defence networks have picked up our Japanese intruder," Qu said dryly. "What do you think? An attack, or is it what the Empress says it is, a test run over sovereign airspace?"

"Well, I'm not taking any chances, with the recent war. It won't be the first time they've lied to us. If it was a test, I think we would have received advance warning. Our forces are on alert."

OOC: Just in case anyone still wnats to know, the Commonwealth of Valient is located 1000 km off the coast of British Columbia, Canada, on the other side of the ocean.

OOC 2. Still noticed that no shots have been fired :D

OOC: Soon enough, one will be... :twisted:

OOC: Spyr is located on the Lyong Peninsula (http://www.freewebs.com/strain/lyong.html), which juts out into the top of the Sea of Japan above Vladivostok, and below the Sakhalins... a bit of an odd thing to add to the world, but when I first started reading the forums, it seemed that everyone was making huge RL nation claims, a process which was rather frightning for a young nation to get caught up in... so, it was safer to make my own landmass]

"Roanian forces, go suck your thumbs. I will damn well keep the LIDAR readings, and it's not like I'm gonna wipe my f*cking black box, over. Furthermore, our carrier group is over 200 miles away from our current position, on readiness excersises. Now if you excuse us, we have shadowing to do. This is Cuchillo flight saying adios."
The Captain was not pleased, and was not going to give any formalities to the Roanian forces. The 12 fighters continued on their chase after what the Raven's Roost was calling "The international airborne mess".
The Athena system kicked in, picking up the Roanian radar waves, and canceling them out with other frequencies, allowing the 12 fighters to dissapear off of any radar screen.

Akira smiled smugly as the Roanians and New empirians argued over the airwaves. He chuckled at the Roanians for being so arogant as to demanding what the New Empirans should do, and at teh New Empirians. While they may have been invisible to the roaninas, they were dright as day on his radar, and most likely the radars back in the Empire.

"Poor bastards. Don't even know how to get around the stealth systems..."
"Keep your eyes up. They're gonna think we're coming in for a spy run, paranoid freaks. Probably putting on their tinfoil hats now."
The pilots considered using their Wetball system, or Black Hole, but the use of those systems was only authorized during a combat situation. To risky to use during "peacetime".

The dozen Corsairs banked and decelerated to Mach 1.5 and headed back towards their mothership. The 5CN 6th CBG turned west and accelerated to 30 knots, as they tried to excriate themselves from the conflict...

"And how when would ppl like you suddenly realize Japan is our enemy?" Tang asked. The middle aged Colonel, still fit and trim at forty three years old, sat at his desk, sipping at a cup of fragrant tea made from the native Islandian Suya root.

"All I'm saying is to be ready," Second General Ku replied. A tall man for a Vietnamese, he was one of the top commanders in JSOC, Joint Special Operations Command, and Tang's immediate superior. "You know how it is; be flexible, Tang."

Tang sighed. "Yes, I kno, General. I teach that to our troops, so I would naturally be aware of that doctrine. But I still think you should allow Colonel Shirai's outfit for a mission like this; its not fair to discriminate against him simply because he's of Japanese descent."

Ku sighed heavily and got up to leave. "You know how it is, Tang. Shirai's outfit had about fourteen deserters in the course of two months to the Japanese during their four month duty tour in PRC China during the Japann crisis. We cant trust them with this yet, so we're assigning you and First General Sau to do this."

Tang sighed. "Orders are orders," he said as Ku left.

OOC
due to the tense situation with the sizeable Japanese minority in EI, it woul dbe possible to lend some sort of aid to the anti government terrorist group Islandian Japanese Army, or IJA. Also, contrary to what you may think from this conversation, we dont know anything about the terrorist group IC yet, but there may be some sort of Special Reconaissance to be carried out on Kajiraki's strongholds to see waht is going on.

Aboard the special-ops submarine Lotus Sea

"Orders from JSOC," Ensign Kang reported.
Captain Valery Nguyen took the orders gingerly and opened them, running her eyes over the lines quickly. She handed the notice to her first officer, as protocol demanded, and told him to read it also.
"Set course for Okhotsk. Expect some guests," she said to her crew. "We may be carrying out an infiltration."

"Well, I have not much to say, COmrade Chen," Qu said. "Only that you must be careful, especially with Japanese saboteurs. We had a rash of Japanese attacks from the previous war, and it has generated backlash agaisnt the Japanese population. But we will stand by you.
"Also, please be careful witht he DiayouTai situation. That matter is very delicate, and although i do not kno of nations who might find trouble wit that other than Kajiraki or Japann, it is worth treadign lightly."

OOC: Have fun getting in is all I gotta say.

"Sir, they're blocking our radar."

"Black lotus radar... switch to Red Star."

"Switching... locked. Heat signatures from New Empire flights leaving our waters."

"Good."

"Return to base. Those fools of Kajikari will be the first to fall into Pax Roania..."

OOC: Roanians are keeping foriegners away for a very good reason.
