ooc:- Well it's been a while sinced I played with this nation, since I wanted a bit of fun I have decided to play with them again. Older nations will remember them..... I say this now they are not food! :evil:

Bit of History
For many years the Nation of Winged Gremlins were a nomadic race, the many tribes were spread across the many nations of NS Earth keeping in touch with pigeons. They earned the ire of many an individual when they "borrowed" things without their knowledge, causing the phrase "It must be the Gremlins again." to come about.

It was during this period that the infamous "Fairy Cookies" incident happen developed by a chef out to make money. This incident ended in the death of the chef and the freeing of several Winged Gremlins that were destine to become these cookies. It was ths incident that revealed how dangerous that these tiny individuals could be, there were several incidents involving the remaining cookies which also were seen too (including the leaking of the Email address of a national leader to spam farms).

Near the end of this period the Nation of Winged Gremlins discovered a few individuals capable of Telekenetics (ooc:- thats moving stuff with the mind), causing the Elders of this nation to seek a permanent home for their people so they can develop these powers. They found it in a region called Greenfields which is the home of the Non-Human Union a place free of discrimination. The majority of the Tribes have settled here although there are many tribes that haven't left the traditional life, these tribes still wander NS Earth with their pack Pigeons and living in the roof of large folk.

Winged Gremlins have a traditional enemy: The fairies who are ugly evil soulless shapchangers that use Winged Gremlins forms to lure silly large folk into mushroom rings so they can steal their souls. A Hollywood writer once saw a Fairy changing from a cute creature into it's natural form and made a movie about it, unfortunatly he called the Fairy a gremlin & people have been automatically thinking of that creature when they hear about the Winged Gremlins.

This is what a Winged Gremlin looks like; she is NOT a fairy!

Military Size

But since most recent conflict is between Winged Gremlins and large folk who try to exploit them, a force of specially trained Winged Gremlins are poised to under take dangerous missions that may require force.

Dictator Zina Ramirez would like you to know she has received a number of... interesting e-mails. And the little spam problem was worth it, even for just one delicious cookie. I suppose the recipe has been lost?


OOC: It's great to see you back! :D

"Compromising pictures?" Zina chewed at her lower lip thoughtfully. What might those be? A number of possibilities came to mind. She smiled to herself. "Crafty little creatures. Now I remember why I like them so much..."

OOC: Don't worry. She may be psychotic, but she's not suicidal. ;)

OOC: As always, very nice! :D
BTW, as an oldie I kinda remember you, though I didn't knew *you* were also the owner of that nation.

IC:

The Grand Duchy of Hell Bovines is pleased to receive news about the welfare of a great ally like winged gremlins. The info you gave us, also, served for us to figure out why the duque's prime tequila bottle had dissapeared last week.
Anyway, may we have a long and prosper friendship in the future.
Best wishes,

"Well, those Winged Gremlins can fly in outer space. Interesting. Find me some of them, I'll employ them as spies. If they could came here to the Craftworld and place a message, they can do anything", said the ShadowPrince, with a broad smile.

"And what if they don't want to come to the Craftworld to serve you, Sire?", answered the captain in front of him

"Who cares?. You heard my orders, I want them here, nothing else matters", answered the ruler clenching his fist.

"They looks like fairies", continued the captain as he left the hall "but they say they aren't fairies. I thought gremlins were little green monsters. Bah, usual mission".

ooc:- They don't but some (ie 1 or 2 individuals exploring) have been on spaceships that have had contact with yours (etc etc) & well there are a few on the Craftworld (not easy..involves disabling sensors finding access to certain stuff, avoiding detection in their camp region.....and so forth)

"Nothing has entered the Craftworld since the party, ShadowPrince", answered the controller to the unspoken question of his ruler.

"Then they're still inside this place. Find the gremlins, hunt them and bring them to me. Use any means at your disposal. Try to capture them until there are no more choices, only then you're allowed to kill them. Use all resources at your disposal, General", said the Prince, very upset by the disturbing news. "Nothing or noone leaves the Craftworld until you find them".

"Yes, Sire", answered the General, ready to obey his orders.

"To: The leaders of the Winged Gremlins' nation

Our beloved Dictator has expressed a wish for further contact with your most intriguing people, to expand her knowledge beyond your culinary properties and your natural cunningness. Should you accept, she would be prepared to travel to your lands to converse with you. Or, you may send a delegation to Yn. You have personal assurance that no Winged Gremlin will be consumed during these talks."

The note was presented to Zina for approval, then left lying around on a table, where she was sure some snooping Winged Gremlin would quickly find it...

ooc Argh decisions which Nation to use, in the end settled for my nicer nation. Oh and nice to see the Gremlins back in action.

IC

a small burst of energy and the 'Message was sent' Months of work had gone into the chamber, although in effect it produced something akin to a Radio transmission it was in actuality a large scale Sending capable of reaching multiple people at the same moment. ((OOC well how else is a Non Science going to talk to the world?))

'we find the concept of these Gremlins a welcome sight, something from home seems to have an echo on this strange world. We invite the Gremlins to live freely in Giltheran, if only as a holiday destination. One question at the urgings of the repersentative of the planned movement, what is your opinion on pixies?'

Joanna Kekov and her pod partner dolphin looked at each other, she in a dragonfish suit, Nika in her power armour, both were surveying the crops of potato kelp in the Northern County.

"Can they swim underwater to?"

"Squee?"

Nika replied, indicating a remote sensor that seemed to have been taken apart from inside.

" Oh dear.."
