To the Leadership of Daistallia, Greetings:

The RCO offers its assistance in this crisis. We are sending humanitarian resources to your land now, including contingents of the Red Cross and the OEA [Oakeshottland Emergency Administration]. We also offer a company of our troops for population control, should the situation get out of hand.

Moreover, should the population movement into the lowlands be too much of a burden upon its resources, we offer refugee status to all those wishing to leave - they will be transported to our dominion, the Colony of Conradistan, until such time as the "White Fog" can be contained, and hopefully eliminated.

We will also send a team from our major universities, made up of our top scientists in meteorology and chemical phenomenon, as well as an NBC [nuclear biological chemical] team from the RCO armed forces to investigate this....thing taking over the highlands.

If this assistance is agreeable, please respond at your earliest convenience. On behalf of her majesty Queen Victoria, Prime Minister Burke and his government, and all the people of the RCO's empire, you are in our prayers.

With Respect,
Minister of Foreign Affairs Voegelin, Royal Commonwealth of Oakeshottland.

Greetings:

RCOIM [Royal Commonwealth of Oakeshottland Imperial Ministry] has informed us of the situation. We are preparing areas for any refugees who wish to come to our Colony. We offer open arms to those who arrive, and prayers for those within the fog. We stand ready to assist under the RCO flag.

With Respect,
Colony Governor Day, Colony of Conradistan.

Hello from The Empire of ViZion. We are very familiar with these strange occurances.

We are willing to offer our aid in the form of food, water, transportation, three auto-pilot un-manned vehicles which will record what it sees inside, researchers, scientists and a small group of Marines to keep the growing crowds in order.

We will also contact Acigoo Nations to see if they any of them will be able to offer their help. We would also like to work with on on finding out how to contain, or even destroy, this fog-like chemical/biological mass. We will not consider it fog, as it appears to have little incommon besides being a while "blanket" over your highlands.

Please let us know if this is accepted.

We have determined it is not natural and could be a chemical or biological agent.

TO: Military Chief of Daistallia
FROM: Defence Minister Strauss, Royal Commonwealth of Oakeshottland

Our NBC unit should be arriving at your borders soon, awaiting permission for entry.

Did your units provide you with any more information on this entity, whatever it is? Your news sources have indicated how opaque the Fog is, impenetrable to radar and light. So we don't know what's going on inside. However, before contact was lost, were your units able to communicate anything regarding the chemical structure of the Fog itself? Indeed, did they report any particular qualities of it, either in appearance, movement, or even scent? Any data they may have communicated may help both your units and ours, along with those of the other nations, discover what this foul cloud is.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Our peacekeepers should also arrive in the near future, and our refugee transports are in transit now. Please advise us on what will best help your nation.

An open message:
The edge of the cloud appears to be sharply defined, one of the unusual characteristics in evidence. The White Fog is most peculiar for what it is not. Absolutely no odor or sound appears in evidence. Infrared scans come back showing a completely uniform temperature of 30 deg. Celsius. No magnetic anomolies are detected.
SOF Command Special Reconnaisance Units are among those missing. Several platoons, trained in special weapons (ABC, NBC, or CBR) were sent in. They were well with in radio range on being sent in. Radio contact ceased exactly on the point of the radio transmitter crossing into the fog.

Permission is granted for all foreign assistance to enter the country.

The latest reports indicate that the White Fog has engulfed a full 25,000 square kilometers.

Geologists have just announced that the White Fog phenomenon appears to be affecting the subsurface geology. Magnetometer, seismic reflection and refraction, ground penetrating radar, and various other sub-surface detection and sensing instruments have failed to penetrate what appears to be a sub-surface continuation of the White Fog phenomenon.

Further reports indicate that several streams and rivers appear to have been stopped by the expanding phenomenon.

As of this report, almost 2 million people and 50,000 square kilometers have been covered by the fog bank, which also appears to reach an extreme altitude of 10,000 meters. As of yet no scientists have been able to explain the phenomenon.

Our condolences for your President. Our NBC unit has arrived, and will try to start making some investigations of the Fog. We have ordered them to keep their distance.

Also, our peacekeeper unit (500 members) has arrived, and are awaiting your direction, as well as our Red Cross contingent. Our refugee transports are within half a day's journey from your port. They should at least offer some relief.

We request to know the general rate of growth for the Fog. Do you have any estimates on how long it will be before the Fog overtakes your nation, or at least its inhabitable regions? Moreover, is the Fog nearing any borders (in other words, are other nations near you soon to face this plague).

Our men await your orders.

Vice President Min,

New Horizons Hovercraft of Frisbeeteria, Inc, has been conducting tests of their prototype "Floating Neighborhood" brand advanced hover vehicles. Each of the three prototypes can comfortably carry 40 families for extended periods, but can be stripped down to move up to 300 refugees each over medium distances. NHH offers the use of these prototypes for the duration of this crisis, provided that engineering observers accompany the vehicles during "sea trials".

Regretfully, Frisbeeteria's intrastructure does not currently provide adequate support for the refugees themselves, but we offer transport to other nations willing to accept population influx.

Yours,
M. J. Donovan, CEO, Allied States of Frisbeeteria.

Having recently heard of this disaster(hey, it's a pretty fricken big planet, and I'm ramping up for three fights), Kanuckistani officals have extended offers of refuge and aid in this time of utter crisis.

While waiting for specifics as to what they can do to help, Kanuckistan's government purchased three 1200m long supertankers hauling fresh water that happened to be in the area. The tankers have been redirected to the refugee flotilla, with a detachment of marines and engineers being flown in to the vessels so that they can provide extra space and a supply of fresh water. Desalianation equipment will follow if this crisis continues.

A Message from the People’s Republic of Teakland

On behalf of the humble people of Teakland, we send our deepest sympathies to any and all Daistallian refugees who have escaped the mysterious fog. We would like to notify the noble nations of Frisbeeteria and Henceland Omega that if the number of refugees that you are taking on are too much of a burden, we would be glad to assist. We could house up to 10,000 refugees on our large island territory of Vieja, and although we realize that it is not much, it is the best we can do at this time. A small boatload of 16 refugees have already washed up on our shores; we have had them checked out at our medical facilities, and finding nothing wrong, our Spokesman, Chairman Teeth, has arranged to have them put up in his residence until a temporary settlement can be set up on Vieja.

In addition, after the refugees had been examined and interviewed, it has been decided that a team of scientists will be sent to operate a research station on the waters outside of Daistallia, in an attempt to learn more about this mysterious white fog. Any international offers of support for this initiative would be greatly appreciated.

We thank you for your time, and our thoughts are with the refugees in this time of crisis.

Sincerely
Beverly Fernandes
