Iesus fleet-Near Lavenrunz waters

"Heil Iesus Christi! Heil the Star of the Sea-Immaculate Mary!"
Admiral Mary Albert Saluted the colours , and all on deck of the sancte Gabriel carrier followed suit, the admiral nodded and the band began to play the Iesus Christi National anthem, but rather than playing the current anthem , the tune the band played was one outlawed during the revolution 50 years ago-The Anthem of the Imperial republic of Iesus Christi- Nkosi Sikhelel iIesus Christii.
As the music faded, Admiral Albert spoke again

"O God, you did see fit to deliver Iesus Christi from the claws of evil by giving unto us great heroes whom did lead us to glory and deliverance. Out of the depths we cried unto you O lord, and you did hear us.
We gather , as we have for 300 years to remember the heroes you sent to save us, the brave men and women who bleed to keep Iesus Christ a free and sovereign land, the brave who set sail to death but yet did not fear.
Blessed was Captain Gustav Mascagni Irving, we honour you!
Blessed was Captain Aerandir "kits" Arcamenel , we honour you!
Blessed are all whom fought along side us-be they native or foreign, human or meta. The sea was our common grave! Our common bond was our bleeding wounds! Victory was ours even in death!
As it was in the year of 1715 , let it be again, may we be a free and honest people, liberated from the blights of tyranny and hate.!
Heil the honoured dead! Heil!
Eternal rest grant to them O Lord and may perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace
Amen!"

As the gathered crewmen broke up, Inquisitor Patrick Gerardson gave a weary glance to the Admiral and muttered
"really the best idea Admiral? We are in a combat zone..and the ministry has eyes and ears everywhere"
The Admiral , a stout women in her early 40s snorted.
"I'm not stopping 300 years tradition for anyone. We honour our dead and allies, even 300 years latter. Besides every Iesus navy unit is following the tradition...I wont be the odd one out for not honouring the battle of the channel! lest we forget lad! Lest we forget!"

OOC: So now we know what happened to the band that played the anthems at the Australia/Spain Davies Cup match. :wink:

Matthew Iesus, Lord Protector/President of Iesus Christi and defender of the faith, sat in a small sparse chamber of his palace at WestMor. few people knew he was in the city for he had only returned from St Dominic at the urgent insistence of his chancellor, Bridgette Iesus. Exhausted after his journey, Matthew crouched over the fiery red brazier, his military style cloak wrapped around hi, trying to ignore the cold wind that battered insistently against the old fortress palace. it was dark outside, the city and river concealed by thick mist, only the moaning of the wind and the howling of some fortress dog cut through the eerie silence.
The Lord Protector shivered and looked around the room. A room with too many dark corners, Matthew thought "Shadows everywhere..." Matthew muttered to himself and crouched closer to the brazier and examined not only the flickering shadows it cast , but the shadowy ghosts who haunted his own soul.
There was a knock at the great door, it opened and the person Matthew would lest like to see entered the room.
Bridgette Iesus saluted sharply and clicked her heels
"Heil. God save you my Lord!" She looked around
"I cant understand why you always take such terrible lodgings...really...its like something from Bram stoker in this so called palace..."
Matthew forced a smile "I like it. it suits me."
Bridgette approached her brother , knelt next to him and kissed him on the check
"no brother. you suit far better...anyhow my darling. Those who hate God conspire still and even this day give worship to false memories and gods."
Bridgette ran a hand down her brothers neck, feeling the welt from the repeat 'treatments'.
"And this has what to do with me sister?"
Bridgette again kissed her brother ,this time on the forehead and noted to herself he would be needing another treatment soon.
"oh Brother. I need you to tell the people. warn them of the danger of honouring villains...I need you to speak for God..I'll take care of the rest.."
Bridgette smiled and took her leave, and Matthew could only guess what would happen next, everything was confusing . so confusing.


Bridgette glared at General Robards "have you heard from your sailor boy spy ?"
Robard shook his head "no" he replied slowly "I don't think I ever will. His body was taken from the river last night. His throat was cut from ear to ear"
Bridgette snorted in annoyance "so the conspiracies continue!, well don't worry. The gallows are calling all who defy me. ALL. "

Officers mess sancte Gabriel

"all seems calm out here ,this 'runz fleet can head home soon 'nuff I reckon...."
"Captain Carson. No doubt, of course I doubt home will be as peaceful as out here, sabre rattling between ourselves and those foriegn types may mean we see action off our home waters rather then out here..." Inquisitor Gerardson fingered his food as he talked "and as you know , we will be the first line of defence in any war..."
The seated captains grumbled.
"aye Inquisitor it will be us in front.....war without end , Amen. eh chaps! Bloody Bridgette will get more flesh! bloody waste"
"Our duty is our nation first Captain Carson, if we are attacked we will fight ...by God we will die even if thats what is needed......defeatist cowardice is not the way of our people.."
Captain Carson cut the Inquisitor off and jumped to his feet "sir! I never meant to imply I wouldnt fight! never in all my days! Nation first always! Dont confuse my...'attitude' towards certain members of our leadership to a lack of will to fight! By God I love my nation and I'll 'have' anyone who calls me a coward!"
"gentlemen....gentlemen...sit down for God sake. This is a formal dinner not some beer hall, now gentlemen...."Admiral Mary Albert picked up her glass of wine "a toast to why we are here....
Amin khiluva lle a' gurtha ar' thar!
The honoured dead!"
All the officers stood , lifted their glasses and repeated the solemn toast
"Our honoured dead!"
Then, rather than drinking they tipped their glasses onto the floor, soaking the floor in red wine.

Iesus Christi is this an open RP?

OOC: Iesus Christi, there's something I've been meaning to ask you... Do you ignore future tech? Because if you don't there's an RP I want to do with you.

Puffing on his cigarette slowly, McPhillip examined the room and the people around with a sharp cunning glance, taking in the scene quickly like he had been trained to do. He saw only afew people of interest here today. Almost all wore navy uniforms , still to McPhillips concern uniforms of the army and air force were represent too.
The room was crowded, furnished with long wooden tables like any other average cafe for the workers of Iesus. There were newspapers on some tables, on others there were games of draughts and dominos. Every table was crowded with people, some reading, some idly playing the games, but the majority sat in near silence, only daring to speak in the most hushed of whispers.
McPhillip looked at his watch, almost dawn ...the treason would start soon...
As the sun came up over the city of St Augustine , one of the men, a white haired man in his late 50's wearing a Iesus submariners officers uniform stood and spoke in a practiced voice
"Welcome everyone, today , like our people have for 300 years , we pay homage to the heroes of the past ....the heroes of our darkest hour, let us pray for our honoured dead
Vendui' Mary.........."


The deck was awash with blood and debris, and the screams of the wounded and dying was only silenced by the cannon roar.
"Mr Kits! Report!"
The blood smeared first officer, his uniform torn rushed to his captain
"major Damage sir,the rudder is slow, we're taking on alot of water and the boatswain says the rigging wont handle much more-it could come down.and the the fleet is being scattered onto the shoals , no allies ahve yet come and it appears several man-of-war are heading straight down on us,"
Captain Irving clapped his long time friend on the back. "Well....could be worse? I mean...we could be short on powder! Or be Anglican....."
Kits could only smile at his commander, his human friend certainly had a different sense of humour.
Irving took out his ‘scope' and took his bearings..3 man of wars with full sail were heading straight onto their position, and the gap was so narrow Irving could distinguish the huge figure of the famous opposing captain ordering his men to stations.Irving swept his eyeglass to the colours of the lead charging vessel, confirming his suspicions about who was commanding the vessel.
"Those man-of-war are still coming...and 'he' is leading the charge...the admiral at the fore" Irving paused for a moment,and then a wide grin crossed his face "Kits! Passed the word to Mr Vaughan , ready for boarding! Raise the colours for assault! Damnation seize my soul , lets ram that bastard and take the fight to her! For God, country and liberty! What say you Mr Kits?"
Withdrawing his sword, Kits shouted "Amin khiluva lle a' gurtha ar' thar!"

McPhillip crossed himself with the rest of the group. The service was almost over...
Mcphillip suppressed his desire to smile as he watched these 'loyal' officers of Iesus Christi, knowing that from the footage from his recording device these traitors would be sent to their just deaths.

If our blood is to be the seal that will bring all Iesus Christi together as one nation with liberties equal and common to all then let that blood be shed here today in our homeland, where alone it can be righteously shed to secure those liberties ,let our graves be that patriot grass where alone the corpse of Iesus universal nationality can spring to life.
Captain Gustav Irving

"Those words are as true today, as they were all those generations ago. In that time they inspired our people to rally together, not only against a foreign invader but against intolerance, oppression and despotism at home.
Our people as one , along side their nobles allies, of whom many were not of human blood , faught and died and those who sought to throw our people back into a dark age were defeated by not only the force of arms but by the triumph of the human spirit, that innate unquenchable desire of all people to be free.
Oh , that human spirit has not been extinguished, nor can it ever be in the people of Iesus Christi, it remains hidden, but still it burns like the embers of a fire, waiting to raise up and engulf all in its righteous flame.
It is , I think, appropriate for us to remember the words of Patrick Iesus today also, He to is a hero of Iesus even if his martyrdom goes unmourned, The week before his arrest* he spoke here also, his words a direct challenge to those who would rise up to remove our Christian rights....
"I have one allegiance only -to the people , all else comes second....and this allegiance complies me to act, to drive forward the Christian aim of universal liberty and equality for the people no matter what the opposition....I pray any opposition to the democratic august destiny of the people remember..... Humanity unfree can never be at peace!"
Let us pray for all heroes past and present of Iesus Christi, God defend Iesus! God Bless her Children!
Navy Chaplin, Captain Michael foreman finished his sermon,crossed himself and continued with the open air mass outside the Church of the sacred heart.
Less than a kilometre away was St Patricks Bridge, the bridge were so few years ago so many had died in a peaceful protest, the symbolism was clear for all present here today, the fire of the human spirit indeed had not been extinguished...

From a safe vantage point the service was watched
"if it is to be done, it should be one quickly..."
The watching Agent nodded to his friend "indeed. stand by for orders from the ministry..."



*The ministry stance is patrick is ill/sick and is on 'health leave' not arrested

Hatusu Omar, wife of the sultan , embraced the Iesus Christi inquisitor general, and then fell to her knees and prostrated herself before the first lady of Iesus.
"My darling Bridgette, honor to you and the noble house of Iesus.
Peace be with the people of God.
Praise belongs to God,
the Lord of all being, the merciful,
the all compassionate, the master of the day of Doom.
May the light of God and the message of the prophet guide you and your people always"

Bridgette smiled "Rise friend of Iesus"

Standing, Hatusu launched into her prepared speech "Sister of the Reich, even as we in North Star are experiencing difficulties, it has come to our attention via his majesties El-Hijrj special intelligence service that your own majestic person and dominance is under threat from subversive elements.
Honor less dogs within your own power structure.
As your blood sister, I pledge the strength of North star, all of the clans and the Blessed Sultan to the cause of your eternal reign."

Bridgette replied swiftly "I value your loyalty and the pledge and now what would you like for dinner?"

[29,1, Thursday]
Almighty God! I have seen it all today
had dinner with B. and her cohorts Thought dinner would have great prospect of ironing out deal with B. instead turned into something of a rhetoric evening/now believe B. to be totally insane. while her aids had the excess consumption of liquor in their systems as a excuse for their raving / she remained cold sober and yet still showed herself to be a stranger to reason. If she could imprison/kill her brother P. what hate could she inflict on her enemies?
Sure she is now in league with al-islamir anti government forces at home/if only I could convince my husband of this.
Inshalla Allah

Meal was terrible / greasy/company worse/

?wonder will I see Matthew before week is out?

Because I don't have the power to overthrow Iesus... yet. ;)

OOC:we mock the syskeyian ability to wage war :P

Kits brought his blade down onto the screaming savage before him, a shower of blood spurting from the gurgling pirate as he crashed to his knees confirmed the sword skill of the Elven Iesus navy officer
"thank you Mr kits, he had the drop on me" Captain Irving pulled himself to his feet and swiftly picked up his sword.
The ships were trapped toegther, grappling ropes , rigging and masts locked the massive man-of- war together. the crews swarmed over the ships, fighting a bitter battle to the death.
Elsewhere the Iesus Christi fleet was being scattered, such outrage now swept the fleet and even the desperate Charge of the Sancte Maria into the flagship of the invaders seemed to be a futile gesture .
"No allies here to meet us sir, Iesus is alone...."
Irving slapped Kits on the back,and pointed at the giant of a man cutting a sway through the fighting, his flamboyant admirals uniform ill fitting on his giant frame "Cheer up!...lets have at ‘em"


Mass has ended and the navy Chaplain was idly talking with several friends ouside the church....
"Father Foreman?"
The navy Chaplain nodded to the newly arrived brownshirts
"You are under arrest In the name of the people , God and Bridgette Iesus."
The brownshirt officer motioned to his escort to bind him
The chaplain shock his head , warning off his friends from doing anything rash and asked the arresting officer quietly "Sir, may I ask the charge?"
"Treason! "


She got off the bus and trotted towards the submarine pens through the cold night...
She saluted a young soldier as he passed by, his ministry of social order uniform making her feel uncertain. She didnt know how people kept from running when they saw one of them, Hell, she had no idea at all how she kept from screaming when she saw one of them, even fourth generation Iesus fascists who'd never had a ideologically impure thought in their lives started sweating when they saw a ministry trooper...let alone someone who really had something to hide
Arriving at the gates of the navy pens, she presented her papers to the officer of the day..
"Captain Emma Kessler, taking command of the SSBN Sancte Maria"

o.o.c: excuse my dumb but a ssbn is what?

OOC: SSBN = nuclear ballistic missile submarine. A "boomer".

"They arrested Father Foreman ...."
" I heard admiral, shame...." Captain Horne looked directly into Admirals eyes "what will we do?"
The admiral stared back "what can we do? Nothing. I'll tell you plainly Captain its pointless, we are adrift in a sea of sorrow and there is no land or comrades in sight. I will not do anything that leads to my friends , my family..the navy...swinging on gallows hill .....for nothing. I'm not someone who believes in the nobility of futility! Father Foreman will hang and we'll salute his rotting corpse. "
"Sir...understood sir...." Captain Horne replied in a shocked voice.
Admiral waved her friend away, she could tell she had hurt his feelings but she had only spoken the truth. She wouldn't let tens of thousands swing for nothing but a futile gesture, she wished things were different, they all did...but it just wasnt that way.



Elsewhere the ISS Sancta Maria slipped into the open sea...

OOC: SSBN = nuclear ballistic missile submarine. A "boomer".
o.o.c:ty
traitors with ballistic missles i assume is bad

OOC: Generally speaking, yes.

Last time traitors had ballistic missiles, Trenton, New Jersey was nuked by the rogue Dominican submarine SDS Throne, and there was almost a war. Fortunately the Menelmacari transport MIS Daeron salvaged the wreck of the Throne after she was sunk, and found the evidence needed to prevent the war.

That was a great thread. :)

OOC:the bad ole days before St Dominic saw the light....*shudder*
and the destruction of trenton is a heroic act! according to Iesus schools:P

now let me get this straight.....we hired you to babysit the kids, and instead you cooked and act them BOTH?
The Elven ‘babysitter' blushed, and was dragged from the house by security troopers , canned laughter started up and then the theme music cut in...
"They arnt as good as you and me.....everybody HATES Elves!"

Captain Emma Kessler turned off the telescreen, really it was gutter humour, Pathetic, but watching it was a habit that was good for ones health being many in the navy assumed viewing behavior was monitored by the ministry of social order.
Emma looked at her watch, the officers would be arriving soon. She knew she'd have to be clam and logical during this meeting, there was some tension aboard and she wasn't totally sure about how things would fall......
She hit the comm button "Steward, our officers meeting wont be needing any service ,so please do not disturb us" Without waiting for the Steward to finish replying Captain Kessler patched herself through the bridge " Mr Larson, appoint a 2ic , I want you at the meeting. Standing orders remain. Run deep, run silent"
Emma got up and poured herself a cup of tea and wondered how many recording devices there were in her wardroom. At least she could be sure they would only be recording not transmitting...even the ministry wasn't stupid enough to have active broadcasting equipment on a submarine while it was on duty....

edit

General Assasini sat at his desk.
As new North Star advisor to the iesus government his job wouldnt be easy.
still there are worse jobs.

o.o.c: with the flight of iesus , i have the duty of keeping his nation from destruction.
no more nasty ideas of mutiny .

To:Captain Emma Kessler-commanding Sancta Maria SSBN-active operations Zone 19

This is a time for patriots...the metahuman influence has now tainted even our former loyal clergy.
Your Chaplain is a known supporter of anti-human doctine...he is a cancer..a dangerous blight...your duty captain in this matter is clear..
'Liquidate' him quickly and quietly
be a patriot..kill the rebel priests
Heil Victory!

Bridgette Iesus.
