The Opening of the Dimplomatic Embassy of OnyxRose

Onyx XI sat at her desk and composed the letter nervously wanting to make a good impression for her budding nation. She looked out the window and watched the gardener go by for the fourth time wondering if passing the manditory nudity law was such a wonderful idea, sighing she turned back to the letter.

Dear Esteemed Nations,

It is with great pleasure that I announce that our Diplomatic Embassy is now operational. We humble invite you to send a deligatation to open talks. Please note that since our nation does have laws that are much different then your own we peacefully request that during your first visit you stay at our lovely Dipolmatic center.

Each Diplomat will be assigned a wing for their stay that will be staffed so that their every need will be met. Any special request we asked that you notify us of before arrival so that we may try to accomodate it. Please RSVP so that we may schedule a time for your visit.

Sincerly

Onyx XI

Onyx sat back and read the letter and smiled her mother would have been proud.
"James, make copies of this and see that it gets sent out," she said leaning back.
Her aide scurried off and her advisors came in.

"The complex is finished and fully staffed." Michel head of Labor said. "I must say the uniform order did please the garment industry espesially after the last law."

"Well we will see how it goes," Onyx said nervously,"I dont know."

(occ... there are 4 wings... so only 4 delegates at a time with 3 aides and 4 escorts a piece assumeing you dont mind 2 per room each wing has four rooms. each room comes with 1 Attendant. I will give more specs apon request... I am new so please be nice :) )

President Jeffrey Doyle of Liebermonk walked into his office as he always as. He went through his mail and found one letter that interested him. Upon reading, he realized that a chance of growth was upon his nation. For some time his people have been complaining that Liebermonk did not have enough trade partners. He immediately wrote back.

"Lieber Dictator Onyx XI,

We would like to book some time in that room. Our nation has a very powerful commercial sector, specifically in the Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries. We have, however, been looking for a trade partner. I feel that this is the perfect moment to do so. Your retail industry would help us greatly in our clothing shortages our nation has. Our people have grown weary of the fact that it is not a strong industry here. Perhaps I could send a delegate to visit so that we may discuss this further.
It is great to see a young nation opening up to the world. Please, write me back letting me know when a room will be available.

-President Jeffrey Doyle of Liebermonk"

"First come, first served eh? Well, let's grab a room. Don't need more than one though... How about reserving a wing in the name of the entire trium or something?"

"Sure - we will see what they say."

----

To Onyx XI,

Greetings from the nation of Sunset on behalf of the Triumvirate of Yut. We are interested in your offer, but the accomidations offered are actually more than we need. Would it be acceptable if we were to book a wing for a single representative and their assistant, though these assistants will in fact be envoys from the other Triumvirate nations?

We are always interested in making new friends and thus await your swift response.

Adjunct President, Libertarian Paradise of Sunset

A short, indefinably ugly man looks over the invitation in his hand and ponders thoughtfully. A moment later he turns to his terminal and enters two sets of orders. The first is to Ambassador the Honourable James Grant, ordering him to respond to the invitation of Onyx XI and make preparations to extend full diplomatic courtesies. The other is directed to Benjamin Vitner, his Minister of Intelligence. He wants to find out everything that can be learned about the unknown queen and her kingdom before he agrees to anything further.

Treznor sits back and ponders a moment longer, then sets the letter aside and turns to the latest reports of flooding in the Turner valley. It's going to make a pretty big dent in this year's agricultural figures, and he'll have to decide how to make up for it.

Onyx was pleased with the responses and ordered fresh flowers for the rooms and to make sure that all the staff's uniforms were pressed. She was makeing a list of things to do when there was a frantic knocking at the door.

"Come in," she said tapping the pen to her lips thinking.

"Your Excellency there is a slight problem at the center," an aide said winceing.

Onyx's head snaped up, "What! What do you mean a slight problem?" Her eyes narrowing to small slits.

The aide swallowed hard, " T-t-t-he cooks don't want to wear the uniforms. T-t-t-hey say that its their right to be nude."

Onyx blinked. "They what? What do you mean? They can't cook naked!"
She made a strangling noise as she rose from her chair. "You can't cook naked you have to wear a uniform. We went over this." She pushed a button on the intercom. "Send in my adviors and thier aides immediately, oh and my secretary to."

"Yes your Excellency."

A few minutes later the requested people can hurring into her office as one didnt keep her Excellency waiting to long.

"Your Excellency you look rather perterbed what is the matter," Dreasen head of Security asked a worried look crossing his face.

Onyx had the aide repeat what the problem was while she paced the room like a caged panther.

" I do not want the other nation's to think that we are less then they are. Nudity is a good thing it is freeing and less restricting. Not only that it keeps hidden weapons smuggling down. But I will be damned if I have the first thing they see is us running about naked." Onyx said her eyes cold and hard.

"You will tell the cooks that it is the Uniforms or they will be demoted to school caffeteria workers," she told the aide waveing a hand to dismiss him. "We shall admend the current law so that jobs that deal food, saftey, the public, and government must wear uniforms while on duty so as to identify them etc."

Once the meeting was done Onyx returned to her letters much more calm. Running a country was not a easy task, but one that she was proud to do. It was a family tridition.

Adjunct President Jon Thorgardson,

An aide walked into the large office, painted in the patriotic red of Liebermonk. "Sir, Onyx has replied saying that they are awaiting or arrival. Who shall we send?"

President Jeffrey Doyle deliberated this for a moment. He considered any diplomat talks concerning his economy as of an upmost importance. "Send the Financial Minister."

The aide looked at him with a rather suprised look. "You want to send our Financial Minister. As in Minister Lex Phillips?"

"That is what I said," Mr. President replied.

"I will send word to him at once. What transportation shall we send?"

"Send the Presidential Helicoptor. I do not think I will be needing it lately. Besides, this is a matter of importance to me."

The aide ran out of the office to give word to Financial Minister Lex Phillips. President Doyle sat in his chair and began to think. He was thankfull that his Minister would not have to leave the compound, however he thought a bit on whether or not it was a trick to trap his citizens. He was not too worried on the matter, but he dicided to send a letter immediately on whether he could send a small security force for this first visit. He began to think this could be the beginning of a great friendship between the two nations if all went smoothly.

The details of his trip were unimportant - suffice to say that Jon and his companions Wilson and Janice arrived safely at the embassy within the week.

"A stuffed animal?"

"Er - yes. I figured it would be nice and neutral."

Wilson simply raised an eyebrow as Jon continued to question Janice's choice in gifts.

"You know - most people bring flowers..."

"Got some of those."

"Or maybe a nice painting. Something she can hang on her wall..."

"You told me to get her a nice gift - and you said it should be expensive because it is for a head of state. This was expensive."

"Whatever - time for the meet and greet."

Your Excellency, Onyx XI

We at the Slutbum Wallah Ministry of Foreign Affairs salute this most generous and forward-thinking offer you have made to your fellow nations. It represents the very spirit of modern diplomacy so lacking in much of the world today and our people are looking forwards to the day when we can work closer with you.

Sadly this day cannot be today. As you know it is basic diplomatic procedure in these circumstances to contruct an embassy in both participating nations, something rendered impossible by one or two rather unfortunate events. These events include: Slutbum Wallah Embassy Row being purchased by the McDonalds Corporation and converted to a warehouse for storage of chicken carcasses, the carpet bombing of the interim Embassy Row by Potopavian Gunships after their ambassador was trapped under 30,000 frozen chicken wings and the United Trading Conglomerate plans to purchase vast tracts of your nation for biological weapons testing.

If however you wish to contact the Morally Bankrupt Utopia of Slutbum Wallah for any reason, feel free to contact your interim ambassador, Lord Timothy Walters. Walters is currently under house arrest in our Government building on counts of drugs smuggling, murder and sexual harrassment, but none of these charges have yet been proven and at least one may be dropped in the near future.

Respectfully,

Ambassador Ghengis Fortinbras
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

OOC: the full diplomatic telegram that goes out to everyone
----------------------------
IC:

To: OnyxRose

Re: Diplomatic Exchange

The Kingdom of Weyr is interested in creating diplomatic ties with the OnyxRose. A delegation of:

1 Ambassador
1 Diplomatic attaché
1 Commercial attaché
1 Cultural attaché
1 Alchemist

are standing by for your approval. They will be arriving twenty-four (24) hours after the confirmation of this message.

Space for your delegation is available within Embassy Tower, where all foreign embassies within Weyr are located. Floors 40 and 48-67 are available at this time. The Diplomatic Service provides security, basic services, and secure telecommunications. Furniture, electronics, special services, and any other amenities are provided upon request. The Diplomatic Service pays for all services. It should be noted that security and safety of any foreign delegates is not guaranteed outside of Embassy Tower unless those delegates are accompanies by Diplomatic Service staff.

Embassy Tower is located in our capital city of Wye, a city of approximately 300 million built on the southwestern slopes of Mt. Weyr. We recommend that foreign delegations arrive via Wye International Skyport, where Diplomatic Service officials can meet them.

The Kingdom of Weyr has no restrictions on trade, and permits nations to freely buy and sell all goods and substances within its borders. This includes, but is not limited to: weapons, toxic substances, motor vehicles, WMDs, foodstuffs, raw materials, and finished goods. This cannot be restricted or expanded upon by any treaties.

This includes:
- Trial by an elected jury within seven days of arrest
- A free lawyer, to be given upon request
- Communication with any party, after arrest, via a monitored link
- The ability to sue for personal damages incurred while under arrest

However, foreign delegates are permitted to have their home nation pay for the court fines. It should be noted that Weyrean courts issue sentences that are monetary in nature.

Weyrean law has only three crimes: murder, theft, and malicious manipulation.

Weyr is not interested in military alliances at this time. However, Weyr holds a policy of non-aggression towards all nations.

Sincerely,
Consul-General J. W. Gibbs

"Sir, we are losing control of the helicopter. The winds are too strong!" The pilot had to yell as loud as he could so that Financial Minister Lex Phillips could hear him. "We may have to take a detoure if we want to get through tis storm. I'll begin plotting the new coordinates immediately."

Hurricane Yolorian grew quiickly in strength. The helicopter plotted to go north of the storm as it continue going on its ewastward path towards Liebermonk. The country was prepared for the storm. However it grew quildk in strength, until it hit the top of the scale. At that strenght, it did not need to follow other weather systems. It turned north, and fast. The helicopter was caugh by suprise.

The main engine then gave out. They helicopter began losing altitude. "We're going down! Mayday, mayday. This is the Liebermonk Presidential Helicopter. We are caught in Hurrican Yolorian and our engines just gave out. We are over some island chain. We are going to try to land upon it." The pilot then listed the coordinates.

In the back, Lex Phillips calmly called the President.

In his office, President Doyle recieved a phone call. "Hello?" The voice on the other end was severly staticky. "Who is this?"
"Sir, this is Lex Phillips, our helicopter has recieved massive damage, and is about to crash land upon and unknown island chain. We are at the following coordinates." Lex was a very calm man in life-threatening situations. Perhaps it was because he had made his peace with the afterlife. It could be because he knew they would be rescued. For any reason, he was calm. He listed the coordinates to the President. "Sir, we are about to hit the gr..."

The call then cut-out. The President sat there for a few minutes, in shock at what he just heard. He pushed a small button on his desk. "John, can you come in here a moment." The aide walked into the office.

"Yes sir, how can I help you."

"Call the Air Force, tell them to send all forces into the search operation to find Financial Minister Lex Phillips. Thier plane has crash landed at the following coordinates. Send this data to General Sam De Leon. I believe that he will run this the smoothest. Next, I would like you to promote the Deputy Financial Minister to the temporary posisition of Financial Minister. After that had been completed, send a letter to Onyx letting her know that we will be a few days late. Finally, organize a meeting between our nations largest industry owners so that they can elect the person they wish to send as a delegate to organize trade deals. Hopefully they will not take long. Whoever they elect, send that person and any aides he wishes to take in our Concord Jet. I do not wish to dely Onyx any more than i need to."

The President then sent the aide off to do these thing. He sat and began preparing the adress he would have to make to the press. He was sverly unhappy and worried about the whole situation. Times had to go on. He somehow knew that his men would be okay.

Onyx Rose stood waiting for the delegate's from Sunset to arrive. She tugged at her outfit and looked nervously out the window. Jasper glanced at the clock and chuckled.

"You do realize that worrying is not going to make them get her any faster," Jasper teased her.

"I can't help to be nervous. This will be the first time we have opened our boarders. I dont know if I am doing the right thing." Onyx said chewing on her bottom lip.

"Stop that, your not a child anymore. You decided that we needed to be in the global community therefore it is a good thing," he paused as a buzzer went off. "Ah they are here. Shall we your Excellency?"

Onyx strightend up and immediately went into diplomatic mode with her best smile, though the thought of please dont let me be sick did pass through her head a few times.

She walked into the room where the delegates from Sunset awaited, "Greetings and welcome, I am Onyx the XI it is my pleasure to welcome you to my country." She paused to smile and take a good look at her guest.
She blinked. "Oh you have umm fur?" She looked unsure of herself and curious at the same time.

"Pardon Her Excellency, she is still young and this is our first contact with another nation and no offence was ment by it," Jasper quickly interjected.

"Yes many pardons," Onyx quickly said softly though her eyes sparkled in a curious way. "By the way may I introduce Jasper my personal assistant."

Janice steps forward and begins to make a little speech, clearly nervous about her first formal introduction to a head of state.

"On behalf of the Libertarian Paradise of Sunset I, Jan... Er... Fur?"

Janice blinked back for a moment and stood there until Jon stepped forward and picked up where Janice left off.

"This is my security liason Janice Foxworthy, my personal assistant Wilson, and I am Jon Thorgardson."

Jon shook Onyx's hand, as did Wilson. After a sharp nudge Janice did as well, carefully shaking in a manner that would avoid her claws.

"As a gesture of greeting we have also brought you these gifts..."

Jon handed a vase filled with beautiful and unusual flowers to Jasper, who placed them on a table, as well as a stuff cat that was placed beside them.

Onyx smiled, "If you will come this way I have a confrence ready."

Onyx led the group out of the room Jasper laid a hand on her shoulder and slightly squeezed before stepping aside to usher the guests of honor through. Onyx continued down the hallway and tried to remember to breath.

"Here we are, it is just a small group. But seeing how you are our first outside contact I thought that it would be appropriate. Everyone has been screened and double screened. It is mostly for pictures and questions about where you are from. Just about 30 minutes or so." Onyx said in a rush of words looking a bit pale.

She stepped through the door and flashes went off and she smiled and waved and stepped to the podeum. "Thank you for being here today. This is a great day in the history of our Nation. Today we step into the diplomatic circle. May I introduce Adjunct President Jon Thorgardson of the Libertarian Paradise of Sunset and his assistant Janice Foxworthy and Wilson." With this said the press stood and aplauded. Then the flashes went off again. "Ok I am going to open the Floor to 3 and only 3 questions as I am sure our guests are tired. There will be another confrence before they leave if time permits.'

Onyx steped back looking tired and smiled softly.

Jon and Wilson were a little more used to the sudden attention than Janice, and despite the relatively unexpected conference Jon steps up to the microphone with Wilson just a step behind. Janice however stood there for a moment, lights flashing in her face as her whiskers sprang forward and her hair stood up a little. Her eyes widened in suprise, and this of course only heightened the effects of the flashbulbs.

"Thank you all for coming today. I think I can probably squeeze in four questionsifItalkveryveryquickly."

Jon waited for the first question from the gallery.

'That last one was the most interesting from my perspective... No non-humans here at all? Racism or just a simple lack of emmigration? Guess we will see what happens as they step into the wider world. After all - Jon could have brought a Trilat.'

Wilson held his own thoughts as Jon began to wade through the questions.

"Regarding the question as to why we took up the offer... That really has much to do with our national character as explorers, diplomats, and businessmen. We are a nation that see's a mountain range and wonders 'What's across it?', 'Is there someone new to meet?', and 'Might they be interested in trade?'.

A diplomat? I cannot say at this point although hopes are high. Currently I plan to stay about a week. I think we can have our business comfortably concluded in that time."

We do have other that are a bit different but they have a colony in the jungle and keep to themselves. So the general populas is a bit.. umm.. stagnate in what they know. But we are trying to change that." Onyx said ernestly. We sent a diplomatic envoy to the Nation of Amythest to trade and we have sent out emm explorers of sorts to bring back informations on other nations.. Here We made these little books so that you would have informations about our nation." Onyx said looking tired.
