Come out and play(assult on Fultonia)

12:00am Local

The five Mountia class missle cruisers sat in the dark waters about 20 miles off the coast of Fultonia, floating silently in the calm blue waters. For no real appearent reason (although most wars never had one), the Hodgeanian government had decided to pop off a few cruise missles. After all, nothing really helped the economy like a good old fashion war.

However, nothing was old fashion about the Mountia class ships. They had been purchased from WYC, and were based of the ole Imitora class arsenal ships. Each held a total of 300 VLS tubes, each carrying a very acurate, very nasty TSLCM. Each was holding a simple 5000 pound payload, non nuclear, HE.

And although they had the capablity to launch over 300 missles, the asault plan conisted of orders for a light manuveer, with the launch of fifty of the GPS guided weapons per ship. As the digitial clock in the command rooms of each ship clicked to 12:05am, a number with no real significance, the tubes opened, and the 50 missles from each ship, 250 in all, streaked into the night sky, with major cities and military outposts in Fultonia as targets.

However, these were not the only weapons that would soon blacken the Fultonian soil. Seven aircraft, three F-117K Imitoran modified Nighthawks, with the older, yet still effective Athena Mod. 2 active stealth systems and GhostSkin materials escorted four B-2Ks, also modified with the same systems. Targets included major Fultonian military bases, as the bombs dropped would be far more usefull on those targets than they would on cities. Thats what the TSLCMs were for.

President Jefferson sat in his office discussing matters of military importance when the secret service grabbed him out of his chair and began rushing down hallways and stairs. President Jefferson was dropped onto the floor of the a place known as Bunker X-117. This is the where the secret shadow government was based out of. Reports were immediately given to President Jefferson by the Joint Police and Defence Staff. Roughly 40 bases destroyed with unkown bombers targeting major installations. President Jefferson cursed under his breath, something that this devout man hadn’t done since his time in the Southern Conflict. “Send a code to the Imitorans, they’ve helped us once and it looks like we’re going to need their help again.” President Jefferson told General Adams.

"Scramble the planes and place all anti air units under heavy cover. Alert all active units to scatter to areas outside of the major cities. Alert all Police Bureaus that undercover operations are to begin commencing. Have the major medical installations set up Mobile units outside of all major cities."


[code alpha: To First Speaker Griffin,
The nation of Fultonia is being attacked and we have no knowledge of who is committing the act of aggression. We need logistical help and perhaps equipment at a later date. We thank you for your time. :Code alpha]

While all of Fultonia’s military is fleeing the cities and leaving their population naked and unprotected another present from the tyrannical nation of Hodgeania is on the way. The five Mountia class missile cruisers sitting in the dark waters about 20 miles off the coast of Fultonia, floating silently in the calm blue waters. Celebrating the upcoming battle decided to pass there time by firing another round of cruise missiles at Fultonia’s cities. This time they were equipped with incendiary warheads and the only goal of this attack is to burn Fultonia’s cities to the ground. Without a civilian population or any form of major city structures there is no way for their government to maintain control of the reminder of the population. The only thing remaining to do is to also equip Hodgeania’s air force with incendiary ordinance as well. The whole objective of this is to blacken Fultonia’s skies and show them that Hodgeania does not mess around.
An official statement direct from the top officials of Hodgeania’s government is as follows “Burn baby Burn. You guys will have enough fire to host your own barbeque”. 250 Incendiary cruise missiles launched by my ships as well as 64 napalm bombs dropped by my 4 B-2Ks bombers are targeted at all cites remaining after my cruise missile launch. The bombers will be escorted by my 7 F-117Ks that will help protect my bombers as well as contribute to the firestorm. Because they each will be armed with air to air to air missiles and some napalm air to ground missiles.
Another statement form the top is as follows “ Good Eating”

President Jefferson stood overlooking the large map of Fultonia. Sweat dropped from his brow as he stood looking over the final casualty reports from the night of April 22nd. "General Adams command all police and reservists to stockpile arms and ammo in secret caches adn discard all military or police uiniforms. Begin transporting all university professors to undisclosed locations to begin work on incendiary and improvised explosives. Position all five titan class orbital launch pads into position aimed at our coasts."

General Adams grabbed President Jefferson's shoulder, "It's alright Jeff, you brought us through a civil war and an attempted coup. The people of Fultonia trust you."

"It's not a matter of trust Jim, it's a matter of capabilities. Send our fighters and pilots away from major installations and hide them from sight." President Jefferson sat in his chair as General Weatherford sat beside him.

"General Weatherford how many special operations units do we have left?"

General Weatherford looked through some papers and cleared his throat, "we have roughly 15,000 specialty infantry, 2,000 infiltration, and 800 counterstrike units. if you include the crack STAR units we have 1,500 more."

President Jefferson wiped the sweat from his brow, "gather them together and figure out a way to send them to Hodgeania. I want the STAR units dispersed nationally to head counterstrike efforts"

"Sir, I'll get my best men on it!" General Weatherford snapped a salute and marched to his office.

President Jefferson made a secure call to the First Speaker of Imitora's office.

T.V camera's roll and the peopel of Fultonia are flooded with the image of their President. Red tie glistening President Jefferson is stern and passioante as he declares, "People of Fultonia our nation has come under attack from an evil empire bent on the total destruction of our free and prosperous peoples. We have given no reason to be attacked in such a vicous fashion. I can not promise victory, but I can promise that the combined strenght of our wills shall strike back at these agressors and punish them for thier wicked acts. If the aggressors do not desist from this violence at once and begin surrendering we will destroy them by any means necessary. Thank you and God Bless Fultonia."
The screens go back to broadcasting news and the people of Fultonia begin to cry once again.

As members of The Allied Powers (aka "APTO"), there is a permanent NAP (Non Aggression Pact) between all members of APTO. However, if you two are so hell bent on destroying each other, then you will both be removed from APTO, unless you both agree to an immediate cease fire.

"President Jefferson we think we've found a solution to our problem. The orbital platforms have been repositioned and are aimed where our analysts have calculated the trajectories of the second wave of missiles. if we drop the payloads of all five platforms we have a 80% chance of hitting the enemy. We don't know the effectiveness of our weapons but the analysts predict they will at least impair the agressors ability to attack." General Adams decalres.

President Jefferson looks up from the civilian casualty reports, "Enter the launch codes and prepare to strike on my command."

Stand by for statement by President S.J. Halvent

"Good day, everyone. After an urgent meeting with other APTO leaders and my legal staff, the following has been concluded:

"1 Hodgeania has broken the Non Aggression Pact that is part of the APTO charter, by attacking Fultonia

"2 By breaking said NAP which is imbedded in the APTO charter, Hodgeania no longer will receive APTO benefits as outlined in the charter

"3 Further, Fultonia is authorised to not only defend, but also respond and retaliate to this aggression

"We implore Hodgeania to cease this treacherous attack, apologise and pay for losses and damage to Fultonia. If this is not done, Hodgeania shall be removed from APTO immediately, freeing the other APTO nations and everyone else to declare war and end this threat. Thank you."

General Weatherford is handed a report, "Sir, 2/3rd's of Fultonia's naval power has been mobilized and will heading toward Hodgeania's northern coast soon. They will set sail once they are supported by the 35,000 marines en route to the western coast."

President Jefferson nods approval as we awaits a resposne from Ambassador Bradfield.
30-04-2004, 05:56
Dear President Jefferson,

You say there is no reason for attacking Fultonia I find that not true as well as outlandish. My citizens find Fultonia’s values are ill placed and represent a bane to society. They are a bad representation of the allied powers because they will lead to the downfall of our excellent and glorious region. Fultonia not only harbors terrorists but they make my citizens live in fear. A country in which there citizens have to always worry is no country at all. I am protecting my right to exist. By doing so my congress has voted 48-2 and decided to launch a full scale invasion. 50,000 troops have been loaded onto five STC28's submersible landing ships and are en-route to Fultonia's shores. As well as 4 Virginia 3 class submarines purchased from Imitora.

But there is a way we can avoid more blood shed. Due to the physiological and the rather distressing ramifications of war on my fighting force I demand 200 million dollars in damages. By paying me this fee I will withdraw all of my force effective immediately and will give you equipment to help you rebuild.

Sincerely,
The Infallible and Unquestionable Lord Davis

"Sir, Hodgeania is not abiding by APTO regulations. Further he demands reperations from our government and the right to station troops on our soil." Ambassador Bradfield declares.

"Send out a request for general military aid from all APTO nations. Allow forces of 25,000 or less the right to park on our soil and use our ports and landing strips Ambassador Bradfield"

"Equip our naval units with marine forces and send them toward Hodgeania General Adams. Blast the hell out of their shore till nothign stand and then land troops. General Weatherford, once the shores are contained send in the special operation units to educate teh population and take over basic command structures."

"Launch!"

At this point orbital platforms open up and send 10 high class strategic missiles toward each naval vessel parked along the coast. each missile has teh hitting power of aproximately 15 cruise missiles.

30-04-2004, 06:13
Hodgeania's interceptor missles took out most of the threats. Execpt we did lose one ship and another is heavly damgaed. My forces still wait off the cost of Fultonia waiting for a reply. Why all of this fighting when it can be ended by one measly payoff.
30-04-2004, 06:18
Let's set up negotiations to end all major combat operations. I was not aware that in my joining of the Allied Powers that I had to go by certain rules. It is not my fault for being ill informed of the rules of my region. Therefore I took maters into my own hands no matter how dastardly they are there is no reason or rhyme for what I did. All I ask is to be let off of probation and allowed to go about my business. Pending on our about mentioned Negotiation that Davis and Jefferson can agree upon with no outside help.

However, if you allow your ships to be boarded and your men surrender we may be able to open channels of communication." Ambassador Bradfield yells into the radio transmitter.

30-04-2004, 06:36
Hodgeania has decided to entiate a peace negotion between Fultonia. I will send all of my ships home except for one. This ship will be used for peace negotiations. I will tow the damaged ship back to my shore along whith disarming the remaing ship that will be left for peace negotiations. Fultonias ship will pull up next to mine and droop off his president to negotiate with my president. I will keep 50 body guards on board for his personal protection and he can do the same or pick a number of his choosing. The rest of my forces will steam home and Fultonia's forces will be required to do the same.

Through the darkness of the night and the water a single submarine moved silently throgh the water. Most likely undetected, the Supremacy Class submarine would only be seen as a 'warm spot' on thermal radar, a weakness in the design, exaperated by refits that didn't bother to compensate enough.

"We've been tailing the fleet for hours. What the hell does the Administartor want from us?" "Shut up and keep watching them." "Yeah yeah."

OOC: Always smart to keep tabs on a situation. And since the Supremacy class carries enough firepower to sink a fleet, if given a chance, it seemed a good choice.

General Adams Rattled off

"General Weatherford, waht about troop strength?" Presidetn jefferson seemed worried

"Sir, we ahve approximately 50,000 infantry men waiting to land and another 15,000 special force officers."

"what about air power men? Modern war is all about air power."

"sir, with present force structure we have 200 Tomcats, 275 hornets, and 75 harriers. We have 5 communication and surviellance planes and 25 heavy bombers in route as we speak."

"send in the fighters as the first open wave after the submarines cripple thier ports. Then glide in for shore bombardment. Once an open path is created land troops and secure the beach heads. i want every last Hodgeanian dead or dying once the troops land and no mercy to be shown, God knows we didn't recieve any." President Jefferson had never before ordered such an action. He was known by Fultonians as the People's President and was a loving caring man. he wasn't thinking of peace or caring at that moment though, only of the report he had read a few minutes earlier stateing his wife and daughter were listed as dead.

General Adams commanded that units 1,2,3 and 6 assault teh northern city whil 4 and 6 would attack the midridge adn southern city with the bulk of troops landing along the northern coast with special forces masquerading as civilian shipmen taking port before the submarines launch the first wave of the attack.

Captian Ors looked at the coded message from Naval Command. He frowned.

"Surface the sub."

"Sir?!"

"You have a hearing problem, mister?"

"Uh, no sir. Surfacing."

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

Well within the normal defense perimiter for the fleet, the large submarine breaks the surface. Painted on the hull was the flag of the Crimmond Combine. "This is the CSS Monitor, of the Crimmond Planatary Navy. We demand to know how that ship was destroyed."
Imitora
30-04-2004, 22:00
One of the several Imitoran made and made Virginia VIs let the independant sonar system target the lead CVN. Although a single plasma yield warhead could destroy the ship, several had been armed. Six, in fact, were set to hit the lead CVN, with their variable warheads set to explode with a force similar to that of a small atomic bomb.

Of course, this wasn't the only sub. There were, in fact approxamately 27 of the Viriginia VIs silently stalking the Fultonian ships. The use of the sonar absorbant materials and sound dedeners, along with the ultra efficeint, ultraquiet plasma drives, were totally invisible to any form of sonar or undersea radar or heat tracker. To top it all off, the ships, at a top speed of just over 135Knots while supercavitating, were as quiet as a older Virginia II while still.

All had their weapons set for the same destructive power, and with each torpedo capable of independantly targeting and tracking its own target, the Fultonia forces would be at a severe loss. Each ship carried 8 forward launching torpedo tubes, as well as four reward launching, and therefore, the posibility of over 320 torpedos could fill the water. Howver, it wasnt the case, and each ship only had been targeted by only one torpedo.

The launching was silent, and a torpedo streaked towards each ship in the water, on all the coasts. The plasma yeild warheads would rip the enemy ships to shreads, with 100% loss of sailors. That was they way they did it in Imitora. The torpedo moved towards their targets at just under the equivilent of Mah 1.7, thanks to supercavitating abilities, and with micro thrusters, were garenteed to hit the targets.

Reports began to flood teh situation room. While the submarines had crippled Hodgeania's ports and the fighters had succesfully bombed the coastal cities when they returned all major units had been decimated with only a few severely crippled ships left in teh water. Only 23,000 troops made it to shore although it seems the special forces were not apprehended. Helicopters were running strafing missions all across the coastal cities. The land war had begun.

"This means 2/3rd's of Fultonia's navy is gone. I have let the sons and daughters of Fultonia be killed and let my friedns and neighbors down."
President jefferson looked to the ground and fought back the tears.

"Sir, this is not your fault it is mine. I hereby take all responsibility." General Adams laid his hand on President Jefferson's shoulder.

I am sorry but the torpedods hit your ships before you had a chance to lauch. There was no possible way that any ships attacked my shore or launched an attack. They were destroyed. Also the torpedo speed was mach 1.5 or 1000miles an hour. You have to actually role play the launch of troops. Plasma warheads do not cripple they melt anything whithin a 50-60 mile radius.
So therefore everything you just said is emposible because you have nothing to attack me with.

OOC: first of all Hodge you didn't launch the torpedoes so shut up. Imitora did. second of all my planes, troops, and subs were already attacking your ports. I gave the order. i beleive that losing 1/2 of my ground forces and 99% of my ships is reasonable. by crippled i meant hulks of barely stable crap floating in the ocean. My fighteres will have to eject over your territory or crash land now. so yes i think the scenerio is fine. if Imitora has a problem have him respond. BTW two nations are now launching unprovoked attacks upon an APTO member.

I lost 10 tanks as well as 7 aircraft and 5 attack helicopters. My civilian casualties are estimated at about 100,000 and climbing. Troop loses are 100 regulars in my city bases were destroyed as well as some of Hodgeania’s historical sites.

Now that Fultonia has accepted the lose of all of her navy as well as aircraft and naval vessels our government has launched as massive counter attack. We have sounded the alarm and all mobilized vehicles which include the newly developed vehicles. They will include the M-17Barbarion Tank. This has a .50 caliber machine gun armor piercing as well as a 125mm cannon with auto leveling laser targeting auto reloading capacities. We have also ventured into aeronautical engineering and have come up with several new designs that have been developed over the past few weeks. These new models include the T-REX-A17 attack helicopter which is made up of radar absorbing materials that make them harder to detect. They can accommodate up to 8 missiles and use an advanced muffler and exhaust technology that makes them hardly audible and helps keeps there thermal signature extremely low. It also is equipped with two 20mm single barrel cannons that fire smart bullets made of depleted uranium and have been tested and can penetrate a 2ft thick concrete wall. The next aircraft in use is the brand new R34-A fighter/bomber. It also uses radar absorbing material and advanced muffler/exhaust systems. They can be equipped with 8 missiles or 6 bombs. They are extremely fast at Mach 2.5 un-sustained. They are also very agile. They are also equipped with one 20mm multi barrel cannon mounted on the nose.

These will be deployed as followed.
50 R34-A fighter/ bombers will sweep thought the Fultonia before my main fighting force reaches it. There goal will be to take out any threats such as anti air units as well as missile instillations, SAM sites (Surface to Air Missile for those who don’t know). After they are finished they will break off into squads of five and maintain orbital positions over Fultonia in order to provide air support. They will be equipped with 4 laser guided missiles, 2 bunker busters and 2 smart bombs.
50 M-17 Barbarian Tanks to land on Fultonia’s North shore transported by 1 STC.
50 T-REX Attack helicopters will also be deployed 10 will provide air support for my tanks and the rest will move around the country taking out targets at the pilot’s discretion. They will be equipped with 8 missiles and 2 bunker busters.
40,000 Hodgeanian Marines armed with CARB-23 6.7mm and have boarded 4 STC submersible troop carriers for those who need a translation. They will be deployed with the tanks on Fultonia’s north shore.
All of my transport vehicles will be escorted by my 3 Virginia-3 submarines and 2 of my Mountia class ships

The arsenal is projected to land on Fultonia in the next 10 minutes.

"Sir, We have reports of aircraft and troop mobilizations. They should arrive within the next 5 minutes."

President Jefferson stood walked over to the view screen. "Mobilize all air units for full defense. Send the anti air defence systems into full alert status. order all special forces within Hodgeania to discard uniforms and assimilate per training. Order remaining units to that have control of the Coastal City to shore up positions and take as many prisoners as possible. Have all remaining air units in Hodgeania to set up patrols around Coastal City. Send a telegram telling Hodgeania that if they want their prisoners they'll have to deal with me. General Weatherford, send out an emergency signal that all reservists are to report to their local commands."

General Adams walked into the room with a stern face, "Sir, we seem to ahve reports taht Battleship Liberty was detonated by our own forces."

President Jefferson's eyes widened and then turned violent, "General Adams, I want Captain Norris to be escorted to the bunker immediately. Prepare all nucleur silos for launch, recoordinate positions towards hodgeanian cities."

The Monitor doesn't respond and just sinks below the waves.

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

In front of the fleet heading towards Fultonia, a shriek is heard and a large splash seen as something hits the water at supersonic speeds. A low boom rumbles through the water before it vaporizes, water rushing in to fill the void with a roar.

From the upper atmosphere, a dozen fighters roar through the atmosphere, fusalages glowing orange. "Vell, vell... it seems ve have ourselves a war between two allies. Vat should we do boys? Stop dem or let dem kill each odder?" Obviously not his first language, but over an open channel that anyone could hear. "You boys had bedder turn back. Or you might not ever get home again."

"Just prepare for the ground assault and keep teh mobilization of our reserves going." President jefferson is tense. "General Adams, waht are teh cahnces that the other Allied Powers will coem to our defence?"

An open transmission is sent to both sides, in the form of a TV broadcast.

Administrator Delta walks into the room, looking irritated. He's followed by anopther Agent and a military officer. "All right, I'm going to keep this short. Both nations, Fultonia and Hodgeania, will stand down immediatly. If they refuse, we will systematically destroy the military capabilities of both nations. If they still persist with what's left, we will destroy the industrial capabilities of both nations.

"If you think I am bluffing... we annexed a nation of equal size to our own in a matter of a month. You are nothing compared to that." He walks out, followed again by the two men. At that point, the broadcast ends.

No response is given to any attempts to talk to Delta by the two nations.

Presidetn jefferson walks over to the military communication station and gently nudges General Weatherford out of the way.

"Brave soldiers of Fultonia stand down and stay in defensive postures. This is a direct order from your Commander and Chief."

Captain Norris is escorted in by three two military personnell and a Secret Service Agent.

President Jefferson speaks clearly and loudly, "General Adams how many officers of the military does it take to hold a court martial?"

"three sir"

"Do I count as a military officer?"

"I believe you do sir."

"Am I also not allowed to suspend the right to counsel under the constitution?"

"Your are sir."

"then I am hereby suspending Captain Norris' right to counsel and declaring a court martial. How do you rule General Adams and General Weatherford?"

“We took minimal loses due to the Fultonian air force at best guess we lost a couple of flack units but we have to wait for the casualty reports to role in” . President Davis thanks the Flack guns that were put in place for the great out come. “We could have lost more people, But thank the lord we have a few good engineers and there talent for developing killing devices in magnificent.” Davis then states “We must do something about this Fultonia this will not stand. Gather the Joint Chiefs and muster all persons of significant governmental influence we must discuses and ponder of what we need to do next.”
01-05-2004, 04:22
Actually I believe you are stupid. For one reason you suck. You are letting a nation which has about half the population you have beat your ass. Second you are not role playing and third did I mention you suck. Fourth you are taking this way to seriously “IT IS ONLY A GAME.” Fifth it is stupid for other nations to get involved, and that is all I have.

"Static sounds across the airwaves" President Davis awaits a conformation of troop deployment. Finally he hears the news. "Sir, we have reached the shores of Fultonia. We are now awaiting the deployment of our R-34A fighters and a clean sweep of the country to remove any air defense threats". After conformation of air defense threat reduction we will deploy our T-REX-A17 attack helicopters along with the M-17Barbarion Tanks. Further more the launch codes will be given over a secure line. The authorization of a mixture of chemical and cruise missiles will be deployed. The cruise missiles will be targeted at anti air units. The chemical weapons will be targeted half to cites and the other half to the areas outside of cities in order to beat the civilian population to the ground. When the codes are authorized 300 units of ordinance from each of my 2 Mountia class ships will be launched.

“This is president Davis Launch codes are as follows Alpha Bravo Kilo Delta niner” Cap. Smith hears the codes. 5...4...3...2...1... Launch Launch. As the missile doors open and the boosters rumble to life the Captain shrugs and says “It’s a good day to die”

Davis then says under his breath “We all have to die some time. God help us”.

Delta makes another anouncment. "I warned you."

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

For the next hour, absolutly nothing seemed to be happening. No troop movements, no fleets setting sail, the CSS Monitor was even sighted on the surface, cruising away from the area.

Then, from above, came the response. Five fighters streaked down from the upper atmosphere over the capital of each nation. Ten total. They leveled out at 40,000 feet, split and began circling the cities in what seemed an airshow routine. Crimmond was known for it's diversionary tactics and deviousness in war, so it could be a diverssion or the actuall attack.
01-05-2004, 04:48
The nation of Equites Templi admires Hodgeania's spunk and is willing to pay Hodgeania its earlier request of 200 million dollars in exchange for an assurance that no chemical or biological weapons will be used unless Fultonia escalates to that level.

The fighters continue to circle, apparently awaiting orders.

Finally... a message comes over the open channel. "You mean you did this for a lousy 200 million dollars? That might cover the cost of your fleet deployment... So I now officialy recall the fighters over Fultonia and Hodgeania. From my position, this seems like an overly done bank robbery. Extortion, if you want to use your vocabulary."

The fighters shoot spaceward, the people below never knowing what would have happened...

Geosync Orbit over Costal City
The KMAV-347 Recon Satalite clicked away with an ultra long range FLIR cammera, noting troop stationings, movements, flight routes of helicopters, and the like. The KMAV-347 focused on specific units, and began to process the information gathered.

The Stargazer Exemplery Class Command and Combat Ship
The officers, dressed in casual comabt fatigues, looked over maps and information packets, prepared by the KMAV. They studied the ideas prepared for the assault and the possible outcomes. The largest loss determined would be just under 1,000 soldiers. Acceptable.

The operation had yet to be named, and it would be up to the computer on board the ship to determine a name. When it was all said in done, the operation would be approved. When the order came to go, units were quickly mobilised, and go time was set for just under three hours.

ICMC Forward Air Command Station, Cambodia
The five F/A-75s took to the air, and, once clear of the Vietnam coast, went black. GhostSkin was activated, and the Athena Mod 4 Combat computers were kicked in. The fully adjustable wings seemed to move with the air around the aircraft, like the wings of birds.

As they slid towards Hodgania, tight beam lasers trasmited targets and information between the fighters. They banked towards Costal City, invisable to radar, using their advanced comabt computers to target and track enemy targets. The display played out on each cockpit wind screen, and the pilots studied the targets.

At five minutes out, the fighters broke formation, and three dove down, with two staying high. The two that stayed high quickly targeted all airborne fighters, 50 in all. They were eached armed with ten of the long range AIM-225 Hawks. Each had an effective range of over 90 miles, with a low yield plasma warhead and thrust vectoring nozzles to assist the ultra manuverable missles. Each missles was indenpendantly targeted, each picking a seperate target.

At the low position, the three fighters, armed with a mix of AIM-225s and AGM-78 Firehawks, setting their AGMs to target major ground units on their radars and targeting computers. They let the computer pick targets based on size, troop carrying ability, and threat to ground forces. The missles each came with a nifty plasma yeild warhead that came with the explosive power of 7000lbs of TNT. They held, as did the high fighters, waitign for the operational launch code.

Eastern Coast of Hodgania
Fifteen of the Virginia VIs sat in wait deep in the waters, aremd heavily as usual, letting the advanced sonar and comabt targeting computer pick up valuable targes. With the complete destruction of the present Fultonian Naval forces, this consisted of waterbordering power plants, production facilities and ports with large ships in port.

The purpose was to create a force removal blockade, to prevent the entering, or exiting, of force deemed a threat to any present forces. While this would opf course, present significant losses to the Hodgian infastructure, it would serve the purpose required of the Imitoran forces.

Carrstill ICMC Air Base
The fifteen MV-22Is prepared for launch. When given the proper operational code, they would take to the skies, loaded with 84 Marines from the 22nd SOTF. They would meet another 40 UD-4L Combat Dropships halfway there, and would land with a full assualt force of just around 10,000 Marines, mixed regulars and SOTF. The rest of the Marines would come from a set of MV-22Is comming out of Voltol ICMCAFB in Vietnam.

This, among a number of uncounted MH-6Is and MH-60Is modified for DAP to fufill the attack role, it was simply a mater of time before the operational code was given.

The F/A-75s each took up a holding patern, based on preset paterns, over Costal City.

New Empire
01-05-2004, 19:21
Oh jeez crimmond, don't make me pull out the lecture on supercavitating craft... You should know, because you can't go much faster than a 100 knots underwater without supercavitating.

Since their invention many years ago, ocean going vessels have always been plagued by the turbulence they create. Water is around 1000 times thicker than air, and logically induces 1000 times more drag on any object traveling through it.

The results are... Slow speeds. Conventional surface ships and submarine speed have always been limited to no more than 40 or 50 mph.
Supercavitation removes all these limits on speed...

Supercavitation occurs when an object moving though water reaches speeds in excess of 100 knots (110mph). If the object has a correctly shaped ‘cavitator’ on its nose, a bubble of air starts to form around the object... This extends to cover the entire object, and hence the object is no longer moving through water, but through air, which creates but a fraction of the friction! Hence craft will be capable of racing at high speed on or below the surface of the ocean.

Traveling in a bubble kills off all traditional marine propulsion techniques. Propellers spinning in air won't be much good after all… The only engines that will work are the same ones which power our ships to the stars… Rocket engines. Supercavitational craft will be high speed, highly maneuverable rocket powered fighters.

A supercavitational craft would have to have a nose with a specially designed ‘cavitator’ which extends the bubble and makes it stable. The size and length of the bubble is dependant on speed, although it size can be increased by ‘ventilated supercavitation’. In ventilated supercavitation, air is pumped into the bubble to increase its size and ensure that it covers the entire supercavitating projectile. The Russian Shkval for example, developed in the 1970s, uses ventilated supercavitation by redirecting part of the exhaust gases from its rocket engines through outlets near the nose of the torpedo.

Griffin pondered the message in his hand. Acording to operatives that had been emplaced in both Fultonia and Hodgania, both of the nations seemed to pose quite the substantial threat. Fultonia had shown a willingness to attack, and Hodganian officials had inquired several time about PYW missles, both fixed and variable yeild. He had no doubt that the Hodganian government would not hesitate to use them in any situation.

Of course, the SOP on sales from the Export Department of the Treasury was that all nations had to sign to an agreement that if they had purchased Imitoran technology, be it new or surpluss, the purchasing nation would not attack Imitora. INSA security protocols would make sure of that.

Imitora had sent Marines, both regulars and Special Operations Capable, to train Fultonian forces, and reorganize their military. On the same end, they had sold several pieces of surpluss equipment to Hodgania, as a test for possible future purchases. So they had, in essence, funded both side of the war. However, this was soon to change.

Griffin held in his hand a transmition that, according to INSA sources, came from the ups in Fultonia. It had yet to be verified if the transmission was a prank or real, however, due to the security of the diplomatic channels traveling in and out of Imitora, it had to be real. The level of encryption left nothing to chance. And therefore, the threat had to be taken seriously.

Griffin had already been moved to a secure location in one of the many mountain ranges in Imitora, and was now in confrence with his top adivsors, namely the other nine speakers. For the first time in his carrer, he was worried. He was surounded by more mountain than possibly imaginable, with a single, impenatrable exit and entrence. There were more of the black suit clad ISS agents than ever.

According to the transmission from within the Fultonia infastructre, nuclear weapons had been armed and prepared for launch, and possible targets included Imitoran cities. Most likely the major ones; Northampton, South Beach, Long Beach, New Housdon, Balles, the like. Further, military targets were also assumed to be targetd. Carrstill ICMCAFB, Ft. Bichter (the home of the 1st SOU-A), and several other military bases. Obvisouly, the several ICMCAFBs capable of launching ultra long range PYWs or Air Launched High yeild PYWs, and the sub ports that held the more powerfull versions of the weapons, were high on the list.

Further, a small submarine force of four Virginia VIs that had been off the Northern Fultonian Coast had been out of contact for several hours. The only possibilities were they had been comprimised and taken out, or had gone rouge. Neither was a good option for Griffin, and he prefered the former of the two. The last thing he needed was 36 high yeild plasma warheads floating around under the command of a rouge captain.

After a brief moment of thought, Griffin, the former ICMCAF pilot and now First Speaker ordered a launch. The launch, however, was not a initial strike or premeptory challenge, but the launch of a large number of fighters. The F/A-75s quickly took to the air, many of them activating the Athena Mod 4 computers and GhostSkin technology before they had even pulled their gear up.

Each fighter was lightly armed, with five air to air missiles, and a half load of ammo for their M449 22mm Multibarreled Guns. However, each carried in the center internal bay a medium range, air to ground, mid yeild, tactical plasma yeild missile. The warhead was capable of delivering a blast of just over the equivilent of a 30MT nuclear warhead. However, they wouldn't leave the nasty effects of fallout, radiation, or the like. Just a good old explosion.

A diplomat had been hand picked by Marshall to attend the treaties that were to be going on, and was notified before hand of the gravity of the situation. He was to notify Griffin if the treaty talks broke down, and get to one of many Imitoran safe locations and be ready to be picked up and pulled out fast.

The fighters were to be put on a rotational status, so that at any given moment, there were at least fifteen aircraft over Fultonia, prepared to launch at targets dictated by satalites. While the GhostSkin and Athena would keep them invisable from radar and visual observation, it had been decided to keep all risks at a minimum, and the aircraft held at 60,000 feet over Fultonia.

Ambasador Ryan Marshall, who had just returned from the funeral of Markus Rumbiak, had been well aware that he was being groomed for the possible ambasadorial position to the ANH, with Imitora's possible reinstation. However, even more so, was awar of what he had to do at the negotiation talks between Hodgania and Fultonia. Should he feel that the situation was breaking down, he was to order the execution of millions, at the least, of Fultonians. He kept a diplomatic ear open for the time and place of the negotiations, and waited.

((ooc: heh, really ;). Sorry I haven't been able to respond yet; it's been a pretty hectic day, but I have a couple free hours now. I don't suppose you (or anyone else who has a bit of free time) could catch me up on the situation? You don't need to go too indepth - Iansislean intelligence is pretty pathetic, so we won't know too much anyhow - but I've just been able to scan the first few and the last few posts.))

Dear President Jefferson,

Hodgeaian officals grow weary of Fultonia's delay on peace negotiations and requests a response from your goverment. You still hold Coastal City which is very important to Hodgeanias economy and each day we lose money. It will only be a matter of time before we take matters into our own hands and rid the vermon from our soil. We also praise Imitora for the deployment of there forces but realize that Fultonia posses a threat to other nations besides Hodgeania. Hopefully President Jeferson this message will find you well or i will not heasitate to finish what i have stared. Your Occupation of our soil and lose of reasources have put a great strain on Hodgeania's citizens and this must be dealt with.
Sincerly,
President Davis

"Sir It seems that the Special Forces divisions have not returned to ships but have decided to stay inland. They are all making their way to Coastal City and will arrive at various times over the next few days."

President Jefferson looked at the post from Hodgeania. "I think the commanders on the ground made a better decision than I did. Send the ok and in struct the remaining naval forces to steam toward Hodgeania. By the way, any estimate before industry is restored and we can have tanks, planes, and ships rolling out."

"sir give us another few days and all remaining factories will be completely converted. We have confiscated civilian vessels anda re currently ourfittign them with military technology." General Adams stated as he wired forces station in Hodgeania.

OOC: Hodge, you wouldn't be abel to detect Imitora forces. I can't and you're tech isn't much better than mine. you're only so "bad" becasue imi supplied you.

General Adams walked in the room and tapped on President Jefferson's desk. President Jefferson woke up and looked up at general Adams. "What do you want?"

General Adams was beaming. "We've got good news sir. Secret Service has given us the following report. Out of the 500 member House they have located and are bringing to bunker x-171 in the northern foothills 63 Congressmen. Including the Speaker and leaders of three of the other four Fultonian parties. The 200 member senate has lost 189 of its members. the Senate minority leader and ten of our own party members escaped harm. Only the chief justice survived, the remaining 14 justices have been confirmed dead. Sir, you are in complete control of the government. Elections can not be held for at least 45 maybe upwards fo 90 days. howeverm through the darkness we did find something i think you'll appreciate. Come in Amber."

President Jefferson stood up and ran over to his daughter crying. The six year old girl grabbed her father and cried.

"I'll leave you two alone."

The door shut lightly behind him.

[quote: The lead pilot in the Ravens flying over Hodgania, with attack profiles designating air and ground targets in and around Costal City, banked away from the circle, and started a descent. He flicked a switch in the cockpit, and the plane became cisable, at least to the eye. It was still invisable to radar.

He dropped to 3,000 feet, and kicked the after burners, then banked again, and went into a shallow dive. He was at 150 feet when he rekicked the afterburners, and shot over the Fultonian troops. He banked, pulled back on the stick, and went skyward. He rejoined with his wing, who had, know, all clicked off GhostSkin, yet let the Athena Mod 4 still run. They descneded down to 4,000 feet, and circled the city, maintaing a very tight circle, letting everyon on the ground know they were there.

The other fighters, that had gone low and started to target Fultonian ground forces. They clicked off GhostSkin, and began threating observation runs, low, fast, and hot. Each run, they let their weapons target whatever the were running, and some times even opened the weapons bay. Some runs they even started spining their guns, but not letting the rounds enter the chamber.

They were making noise, but not doing much else. However, four more Ravens were on their way, armed for a different type of attack. :end quote]

Major Briggs had seen those planes before. Imitoran. He flipped on his radio and in code stated, "This is Major Briggs. Imitoran fighters ahve entered the conflict. Our Ally has abandoned us. All Special forces operatives will be given control of ground squads. Scramble the planes and all choppers take extra precaution. Radio silence from here on out boys." He looked over to Seargent Williams, "gather the POW's and isolate them in the improvised bunkers."

"All of them sir?"

"Yes. All 1,000."

"will do sir."

Three of the heavily modified Ravens slid quietly into Hodganian airspace. They were heavily armed and equiped for one of the more dangerous missions for aircraft, radar hunting. They flew low, afterburners off, GhostSkin deactivated, and the stealth systems of the Athena disengaged.

They waited for radar systems to paint them , so they could return fire with the modified HARM missles. The AGM-97 HMVRHARMs were the most advanced HARM missle available. They could use an onboard computer to trace a radar signal even if it had been turned off after launch.

A further flight of Ravens were also circling over Coastal City, using ECM and Jamming systems knocking out all communications and transmissions. Land and radio lines were rendered ineffective, with ECM pulses breaking up sent out signals. While the signals themselves could be recieved, they were staticy and broken.

At launch centers in Imitora and its many earth based colonies, Marines went through their gear, making sure they had a full load of UD rounds, and all nesacery equipment. This included GPS systems, heart beat trackers, heat sensors, and all the like. They were using a new form of body armor, that, at recent tests, were capable of stopping a 7.62mm NATO round at 15 feet.

Major Briggs was surveying the scene as Seargent Williams came running up.

"Sir, our three mobile radar platforms have picked up more low flying Imitora planes. So have three of the infantry tracking squads."

"Keep an eye on them Seargent." Major Briggs didn't like the situation. they were in a city of a million people and communications were being scrambled.

"Bingo, we got paint, locked on," came the call from one of the fighters. "Arrow Three, Hound Two," he said, as he thumbed the launch button. The side door bay opened, and sent off one of the AGM-97s. It leapt off the rail, and the high speed missle streaked towards the mobile radar site. It didn't explode on impact, however, but exploded about a meter in front of the dish. It sprayed the radar and the truck with shards of shrapnel moving close to Mach2, ripping the dish to shreads, and killing jus about everyone in the truck. And AGM-97 anti vehicle missles followed close behind, impacting the ground and exploding with the force of 600pounds of TNT.

The other two radar sites came under the same fate, with the AGM-94 HMVRHARMS ripping up the radar dishes, and the AGM-97s going for the vehicles.

"Arrow Five, Hound Three," the last pilot said as he squeezed off his -97. He banked the fighter away, and, like all the other in Arrow Wing, clicked on Athena and GhostSkin, and moved to expend the rest of his AGM-97s on hard targets.

In the air, the interceptor element of the Red Dragons, AVF-138, quickly locked onto airal targets, mostly fighters. "Dragons One, Fox Two," the lead said, letting the AIM-57, the Advanced Variable Range, Variable Tracking, Plasma Yield, Air to Air missle streak off its rail in the under belly off the fighter. Fox Two was the designation for a Radar Guided Air to Air missle, like the US's AMRAAM.

The call was repeated several times as teh other three fighters in the interceptor element of the Red Dragons launched their missiles at the Fultonian fighters. There were three Ravens, and with six of these missles a piece, that put 18 missiles in the air. Not many, but enough to make a dent. Each of the AIM-57s could use both heat and radar signature of the target aircraft for targeting, and tracking, making them near impossible, but not totally for a mastar pilot, to avoid. The plasma yelid wasn't variable, it deliverd an explosive force of 400pounds of TNT.

The ground attack element began its run at the same time. Again, they were lightly armed, so they target only large, heavy targets, with tehir AGM-86s. The AGM-86 was the largest fighter carried missile in use by the ICMCAF and INAF. Each one carried a non variable plasma yield warhead that delivered a blast akin to 9,000pounds of TNT. They used a penatrator war head to pierce the side of a target, and then allow the war head itself to explode inside. Each put out 4 of the missiles, and then they two activated GhostSkin, and banked up and away.

With that, all the Ravens were gone, and the airborne death had, for the time being, ceased.

Major Briggs was looking at the reports of the assault. 18 down fighters, all three mobile rader units destoyed, and a total of about 450 dead soldiers. "Seargent Williams. You are going to crawl through the no mans land of city streets and charred buuildings to contact the Hodgeanian units still in Coastal City. Go under a flag of truce and have 5 of the special operations guys escort you. By the way, you're now a lieutenant."

"Yes sir." Lieutenant Williams headed outside and ran across the street to the old building. In Hodgeania it looked as if nothing new had been built in the last 25 years. He gathered together 5 special ops guys and they began to make thier way to Hodgeanian controlled territory.

The fighteres in the air had decided they two options. Land to the ground or ram their planes into targets as tehy became visible. Their were only 3 squadrens left now. 1 landed and the other two waited for thier oppurtunity. The choppers continued defensive sweeping patterns.

Knight Six, Knight Wing, we have been cleared for movement. On rentry, come to Angels One Six, Heading Two One Four, Weapons free all targets the lead pilot said into the radio. The 24 aircraft, 12 from the Black Knights, and 12 from the Lancers, glowed a bright red, their F/I-78s breaking through earth's atmosphere.

Lancer Six, Lancer Wing, same orders. Come to Angels One Six, heading Two One Four. Weapons free, I say again, weapons free

The F/I-78s were the newest and, in the pilot's opinion, sexiest fighters around. They were meeting up with three squadrons of F/A-75 Ravens, all armed specifically for air combat. Each F/I-78 was armed with 12 of the AIM-54s, as well as four AIM-50 dog fight missiles, designed for short range, heat seeking operations. The -50s were also the only non plasma yeild weapon used in Imitora's military.

They jinked and banked down to 16,000 feet, and let the Athena Mod 4 and GhostSkin go to work. Within seconds, they were invisable to the naked eye and radar, and moved quickly towards Coastal City. The radars quickly picked up the Fultonian aircraft in the air, and one the pilots had tones, they launched.

Each pilot had enough missles to launch two AIM-54s apiece, and qucikly went evasive, looking for more air targets. Once the F/I-78 Crows had cleared the air of fighters, the Ravens would move in on the helicopters.

Knight Six, Fox Three the lead pilot said, watching as his missile streaked off the rail towards one of the Fultonian F-14Bs.

Three of the MV-22Is flew at a mid level over Coastal City, droping pamphlets from their rear doors. It wasn't the most enviromentaly friendly mission, in essence two tons of paper were being dropped, but if all went to plan, the problem would be solved easily enough. Each pamphlet was a warning, adressed to the Fultonian troops.


To The Brave And Valient Soldiers of Fultonia:

It may have now come to your attention that you soon may be comming into a conflict scenario with members of the Imitora Colonial Marine Corp's 22nd Special Operations Task Force, or 22nd SOTF. While you may or may not agree with the leadership of your nation for putting you in this position, we know that you will be fighting bravely. However, we at the 666th Psychological Operations Division feel that you must, in all fairness, be warned about the comming battle, and what you will be encountering in your fight.

First, we will adress the issue of the CAR-37, the standard assault rifle used by the 22nd SOTF. The CAR-37 is a gas operated, rail assisted, light assault rifle, chambered for the 6.7mm Caseless Depleted Uranium rounds. The SS1905 round fired from the CAR-37 is capable of penatrating upwards of one full inch of solid steel. The round, while able to pierce steel, will, upon impact with the warm flesh or musscle of a target, shatter, and send shards of Depleted Uranium Lead ripping through the targets body, litterarly shreading the internal organs and descimating bone structure. If hit by this round, you will most likely not survive.

We will now comment on the CPA225 personal protection system used by the atmospheric based forces of the 22nd. The composite kevlar armor can, and will, stop a 7.62MM NATO Round fired from more than five feet away, with minimal effects on the wearer. The round will create a miniscule dent, and, if uner 15 feet but over 5, may knock the wind out of the Marine. This armor is worn over the cehst and back, underneath a flack jacket and LBE. Further, the CPA225H helmet is made of the same material. The CPA225 covers the neck, chest, back, and shoulder area.

Next is the CPA230 worn by the exoatmospheric drop Marines of the 22nd. It is made of the same material, yet is integrated into a full body suit, and covers the Marine head to toe, with little to no opening for rounds to enter.

Also, you will be comming under fire from several air units of the 133rd Special Operations Air Unit, or 133rd SOAU. The helicopters in service of the 133rd use a sound muffleing system that reduces the audible noise of the helicopter's engines to a meer 17Dcb. The helicopters are all armed with either .30cal miniguns, chambered for a .30cal DU round, or a .50cal machine gun that fires a magnisum incideary round. Further, the modified MH-6Is will also be armed with 7inch fragmentational rockets.

You may ask why we are telling you this. We would like to make you aware of the fact that you are comming up against a superior, better armed, more expierienced, fighting force. After 8 wars with a complete victory rate, Imitoran Marines have perfected tactics that ensure victory and effectiveness.

We now offer you a chance of survival. If you, within the next 24hours, throw down your weapons, discard all tools of combat, and surrender, you will be offered full quarters, as well as transportation back to Fultonia, with a note to your government ensureing that you did not act in a cowardly way, but ensured the survival of your forces for future combat.

TO: CIC FULTONIA
FROM: CIC IMITORA
RE: DEMANDS

President Jefferson:

As you may know, Imitoran and Fultonian Forces are soon to come into combat with each other. This situation, as the needless deaths of your troops, can be avoided.

It has come to my attention that you wish to hold Coastal City. This can be done if you agree fully and totally to the following terms:

1. A payment of 900,875,236AC in order to refund the mobilization of forces, over flights of satalites, and preperation of assault forces.
2. A full and open appology for the use of unnessacery force against the people of Hodgania in order to take the city.
3. At least five, but no more than 10, available locations for Imitoran only basses in Fultonia.
4. At least one operational command center in Coastal City.
5. At least five hundred thousand, but no more than one million, acres of land in Fultonia in order to create an Imitoran Colony
6. The ability for Imitoran officials and citizens to hold high level positions in the Fultonian government. This includes many high level positions, accept for the position of President.
7. Full and sole production rights of all military equipment will go to Imitoran based corporations.

If you do not wish to meet all of these demands in full, then we will offer you the following. If you only agree to a few certain ones, notify me which they are, and I will set forth motions to secure the demands met. I will then order the use of Imitoran forces to evacuate and escort all Fultonian units in the area.

They will be removed with Imitoran aircraft, and flown to Fultonia. They will be treated humanly, as fellow persons, and with respect. They will be given full quarter, and their safety is promised.

It is on your shoulders how this go. No issues or demands can be negotiated, it is either or. It is up to you to decide the fate of your troops in Coastal City, and up to you to make sure the proper decision is made.

With Regards
First Speaker John Griffin.

After recieving the message from Imitora, President Jefferson gathered his advisors together. "What are my options. Congress is out of session indeterminately."

General Adams jumped in first, "The constitution does not provide for this scenario. I think you should declare Executive Power and concede for the good fo Fultonia."

General Weatherford tapped his sidearm, "I also agree you should declare Executive Authority, but you should not concede anything to Hodgeania or Imitora. It will destroy the foundation of the Republic.

President Jefferson thought for a few minutes. "Call in the Congressman and the Senators"

50 men were herded into the conference room. 39 taking seats to the left in 5 various groups. 11 others bunched together on the right.

President Jefferson stood up and cleared his throat, "Congress does not have a quorum nor will they for at least 40 more days. I have no authority to accept treaties or foriegn agreements. My advisors have told me that I shoudl declare Executive Authority. I will not so blatantly violate the Republic's Constitution, so I propose the following. Until elections restore order all legislative powers will be vested in this transitional Fultonian Congress comprising you 50 men. Take a vote now and that decision will stand."

The 7 conservative party members in the congressional delegation met the other 11 conservative senators and talked quietly among themselves. The President could see they were going to support thier leader. The 7 traditionalists then drifted over and joined the conservatives. Normally the Republican Coalition would be enough to pass legislation but The Unity Party was equal in power in this transitional congress. Screaming began on among the Unity Delegates. The 9 liberty party members were a bit disturbed. The head of the Liberty Party slammed his fist and walked to the center of the meeting room. Garret spoke lightly, “call the vote Mr. President.”

“The vote is called, turn in your ballots.”

The ballots were given to General Weatherford who read the ayes and nayes.

When the ballots were turned in President Jefferson stated the vote, “The ayes have it 34 to 16. Transitional Fultonian Congress created. First measure placed before body is the proposed treaty placed before the people of Fultonia.”

The measure was debated several hours among the 50 members of the Fultonian Congress and the measrue called to vote by the Traditionalists.

It was decided by a vote of 26 to 24 that the treaty would not be accepted. However, parts 2 would be adopted fully and military contracts would be accepted from Imitoran companies.

President Jefferson turned control of the proceedings over to Garret as his party had the plurality of members and he left the room and wired Imitora with the outcome of the vote.

It was just under three hours later when the first of a rather large airborne evacuation force began to land. Mostly MV-22Is, but a good number of UD-4Ls and MH-60Is were involved too. It wasnt long before all 19,000 Fultonian forces (those not surrendering were left for attack choppers) and the 1,000 Hodganian POWs of Fultonia were on their way home. Or so they thought.

It was a little less than an hour into the flight when the units carrying the Fultonian and Hodganian POWs banked towards Imitora. They, while on board the aircraft, were forced to strip naked, and were cuffed using quick cuffs. They were then held, at gunpoint, till the aircraft landed.

The original plan called for half of the Fultonians to be shipped to one of the colony planets, and the other half left in Imitora, but plans, as always, change. They were, while still naked, shuffled into a rather large auditorium. It was in there that they were, in a very unsystimatical way, executed, cut down by the fire from belt fed 6.7mm machineguns.

The Hodganians were a different matter. They hand't expected the Fultonians to take POWs, so the Hodganians were dressed, fed, and registred in the Imitoran Military Justice System, at Ft. Carsworth. They would be a good bargening tool.

From the desk of Defense Secretary Francos
To Presedent Jefferson, esteemed leader of Fultonia

To be filed through the appropriate channels.

Dear sir,

The unnatural and aggressive actions taken by the nation of Imitora have not gone unnoticed by Equites Templi. In these uncertain times I urge you to accept the following offer. 300 Sagitta II SAM units, and 100 of our Sagitta III SAM units, along with their accompanying microwave grids, they are fully capable of enhacing the defense of your shores and detecting any aircraft, stealth or otherwise. These units will be provided free of charge and would be delivered by the carrier group Bonhomme Richard which is already on route, they could be set up and functional within 48 hours if you accept the offer. We will also provide you with technicians to train your forces in their use. Consider your position carefully, I hope you realize the danger in capitulating to an imperialist power. I respectfully await your reply

OOC: The Sagita II's have an effective range of 15 miles up to an altitude of 40,000 feet. The Sagita III's have an effective range of 35 miles up to an altitude of 60,000 feet. Both units use both passive and active radar and passive and active microwave grid sensors, effectivly defeating current stealth technology.

Supercavitation...facinating...I still have some questions about practicality, but I won't raise a fuss.

OOC: To bad Athena Mod 4 isn't current, or you mihgt just about have me...I could shoot those transports down, but now its time to do what I do best, and play the other side of the field. It should also be known that all transmissions sent between (well, at elast from me) were encoded, so there was no way you would know the actions I took. Also, all you would see is me taking his troops out of Hodgania, and you would have a better chance of being hit by lightning, winning the lottery, meeting God, making a snowball in hell, and becoming ruler of the universe than know that I killed all those POWs. I have plans for them.

IC:

The black MV-22I powered through the air towards a dot on a map. Just a dot, nothing more. However, that dot had been specifically spotted and picked out by a KMAV-1123 satallite. There was an intense heat signature, and that lead one to believe that it was some sort of under ground bunker, albiet a bit small.

The rear door the Osprey opened, and from twenty feet, 19 Yamaha dirtbikes, painting dark green, all being ridden by a member of the ICMC's 1st SOU-D, seemed to leap out. The lead of the group turned, and lead the other 18 towards a dot on his GPS about 50 miles away.

The dirtbikes were the fastest yet most covert way to pull off the movement. And it was the funnest way, if nothing else. The dirtbikes,using a computerized air compression system, could launch themselves upwards of fifty feet in the air. It took just under an hour for the dirtbikes to get to the dot on the GPS system.

The lead did just that, and led his 18 men towards an artificial covering that looked almost good enough to pass off as real. A regular may not have noticed it. He held the CAR-48, the most advanced rifle used by the ICMC, at the ready, keeping it focused on the cover. He used hand signals to communicate with his men, and one moved forward, keeping a shot gun leveled on the hole. He gripped the edge, and with a strong pull, yanked the cover off.

"Dont f*ckin move!" the lead shouted, keeping his rifle trained on the men about twenty feet below him. "Do not f*cking move!"

Col. Sanderson stepped off the gangway and onto Fultonian soil, or rather, Fultonian concrete. He resisted the urge to kiss the ground; he hadn't puked during the trip, but he had come close a few too many times. All around him Temple supply ships were unloading cargo into the awaiting arms of Fultonian dockworkers. A five minute walk took him to a mobile commandpost. Major Hathaway saluted as he entered.

"What's our status Major?"

"Good afternoon sir, glad to see you made it safely. The centimetric radar systems are already in place around the harbor, as are the bouies. We've finshed a parasitic radiation spectrogram of the surrounding area and put it into the computer. In a few hours a dozen Sagitta units will be in place on the ridge west of town; we've schedualed a flyby so we can test the independant millimetric radar units with the Sagitta's. The microwave detection grid should be operational by tomorrow morning. We were just about to move to a more permanent command post in a deep level bunker outside of town."

"Well done major, where's the Fultonian commanding officer?"

"He just stepped out, we had a conjestion problem on Pier 4."

"How are we coming with training the Fultonians."

"Really, I think the Fultonian technicians could take it from here if need be."

"Sir yes sir!"
