British Imperialism invades Irish territory - Page 2
In Danu, the envoy handed over the letter:
"Danu,
As you are the leader of 32 County Irish Republic, it is not only my privelege but my duty to assist your country in its time of need. I have given orders to my fleet to continue their shipments until such time as the Gardens is absolutely unable to do any more. We are entirely at your service. Hopefully, British Imperialism will not resort to the piracy of humanitarian aid so that our shipments remain on a regular schedule. If you need anything else, you need only ask. My heart and the heart of those in the Gardens are with you and your countrymen.
Yours sincerely,
Sultana Meaghan of the Gardens
Knight of Freedom
Celtic Taskforce Operator"
Meanwhile, back in the Gardens, Meaghan stared out her window for what felt like the millionth time that day. The neverending stream of refugees had found a resting places in the many gardens that gaver her country its name. The Administrator of Public Welfare had just left, taking with him the order to open the gate of the castle grounds for the refugees, but to seal off the building itself. Any second she expected to hear reports that her relief ships had been attacked. The sky was overcast, making it hard to even pretend things were alright. She sighed and went inside to begin dressing for a visit among the refugees.
The Empire of Valinon would just like to update current evacuation figures. Currently 25 million British citizens have been evacuated to the Irish republics, various treaty ports of Valinon, and a few embassy grounds. Also there is a proposal that will begin to send some of the new refugees to some of the abandoned naval stations left in Earth's orbit after Valinon moved to Alpha Centauri. We are trying to clear this with the Admirality. If this is approved the stress placed on our refugee camps in Ireland, our own facilities, and British Imperialism could be greatly relieved.
Sincerely,
Count Viktor Leopold
First Minister for His Majesty's Foreign Affairs
I disaprove the invasion of irish teritores.The nation of Glodark openley supports the irish.If we wheren'nt already involved in peace keeping oporations we wold kick the british ass's.(or at least try) :evil:

Twitchers Toast A Pair On The Wing
The noted ornithologists Patrick Rigg and Diana McNee were wed today at City Hall at an event attended by hundreds of their colleagues in the pan-Irish Avian Society. Following the reception, at which wine flowed freely around a centrepiece statue of the famous BWO Black and Tan Swan, the couple departed by Catalina boatplane for an extensive honeymoon bird spotting tour which will include visits to Ascension Island, St Helena, Tristan da Cunha, Gough Island, South Georgia and thence to the Falklands Islands.
Patrick Rigg is secretary of the BWO branch of the pan-Irish Avian Society. He first reached national attention when he reported on the nesting habits of Redbacked Gulls in the Faeroes for the BWOTV series "Life In The Skies". Diana McNee, founder of the BWO bird sanctuary at Pumas Bay, caused a sensation on the ornithological scene when she published detailed annotations and clarifications to Ian Fleming's seminal work "Birds Of The West Indies". It is reported that McNee will retain her maiden name.
Speaking of their upcoming tour Rigg said "There are great swathes of territory out there with unrecorded species inhabiting them. We're going out there to have a look and see what we can find. We have reasons to believe that there could be lots of undiscovered nesting sites out there."

Human Rights Investigation Moves To Examine Victims in Psychik TV
Having completed here survey of human rights issues on the mainland of BI, head investigator Imelda Bailey-Belvoir departed this day for the territory of Psychik TV aboard the yacht Glen Carrig. It is reported that certain diplomatic issues still need to be resolved in order to assure her unimpeded entry into the country, but Bailey-Belvoir issued the following statement: "We have held communications with Psychik TV in the past on the issue of human rights abuses and war crimes, and we are sure they will welcome our investigation into the damage they received from British Imperialist attacks with open arms."

BWO Radio International Vessel Returns To Harbour
The BSV Caitlin Costello, caught downwind of biochemical attack by the armed forces of British Imperialism, has been returned under tow to a safe harbour in the capitol's dock area. The craft has been decontaminated by experts delivered to it earlier this week. There will be a ceremony of remembrance held today for all those staff and crewmembers lost aboard the vessel and the bodies of the fallen will be carried down the gangplank to the sound of a lone piper. The deep sea survey vessel BSV Jack London, which carried the sterilisation team to the hulk has departed for the mouth of the Mediterranean after it escorted the radio vessel back to port. It is reported that the BSV Jack London will be carrying out an investigation into migration patterns of saltwater eels in the Straits of Gibraltar.

Gasmasks and First Aid Kits Issued to Schoolchildren
Today saw the first delivery of gasmasks and emergency health care supplies being issued to BWO schoolchildren. Classes were held demonstrating their appropriate use by members of the BWO Civil Defence Committee. IT is reported that a nation-wide program is being accelerated due to the grave international situation.

Dulse Harvesters Requested To Cease Gathering Seaweed
The BWO State Chirurgeon issued an appeal to all those involved in harvesting dulse and other seaweed from the shores of BWO to cease their activities. Recent reports have come in indicating extraordinarily high levels of radioactive contamination in the seaweed, and questions have been asked in the Body of Delegates assembly hall with regard to the health issues involved. It is believed that the concentration of radioactive materials within the seaweed is a result of the recent losses of nuclear powered craft in the Irish Sea. One attempt to control the problem by another nation was dismissed by a health spokesman thusly: "They had bred fish which fed on radioactive materials - this may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but it only means that such radioactive materials become highly concentrated within the bodies of the poor creatures - and the half-life of such contaminants remain unchanged." It is not known how long the ban on harvesting will continue.

To avoid the Irish clogging up both my inbox, and HM Ambassador(s) We feel that you must edit out ( ie erase ) the opening thread
'In addition a set of guidelines shall be enforced to cleanse the island of these Irish rogues.
Blood definitions:
(Just to clarify what is to be done)
* 75-100% Eirean - Of no use to us due to his lacking of physical and mental ability. Firing squad.
* 50-75% Eirean - No mental ability to speak of but enough strength to be sent to one of 12 Gulags in Northern Siberia, recently acquired from the Russian government on a 99-year lease, for forced labour.
* 25-50% Eirean - At the most he is only half Irish so there should be no punishment. He is, however, required to wear a shamrock badge on his outer clothing to indicate his possession of impure blood.
* 0-25% Eirean - English blood outnumbers Irish blood by at least 3:1. He can therefore be regarded as a citizen, albeit with suspiscion.'
In addition, you must refrain from mentioning anything about ethnic/native cleansing, as too must they. We have very little power over what goes on within the forums. As we see it, what you do in their is your own afair.
But you must cease this ethnic cleansing message with immediate effect. You must also edit out these messages, to such effect that mo mentioning of cleansing remains.
This forum war is damaging the DORA alliance, and therefor I urge all nations participating in this futile, and frankly, rather stupid flame war to cease immediatally. I will speak with the founders/delegates of both Ireland, and 32 counties. With the idea that any offending nation hereby participating in this war be ejected from the regions. :!:
Excuse me but it seems to me this is some roleplay forum war not some necessary flame war and to call for ejecting from regions those who in honest fun are posting here is absurd.
Since when is posts about Battlefleets, about Lavallines Raprors gorging on people "flame war"?
Through the beginning post is sorta offensive in nature with it's ethnic clensing... the rest that respond hav;en't been doing much other then "play acting" a war..

OOC: Glad someone else took it up. I couldn't make head nor tails of Southern Addicombe's posting. It was not clear just who it was directed at. I will say this though - BI initial declaration did catch a lot of people to begin with (myself included) their subsequent RP has proved them to be worthwhile adversaries. (IC: Despite the use of the term "adversaries" BWO remains staunchly neutral)...
EDITED AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT: If BI was really serious about ethnic cleansing of the Irish race do you really think they would be devoting their leisure time to RPing with them???

OOC: First of all, when I wrote you about this thread when it started, you saw no harm in it! You said it was a way of releasing tensions between the British and the Irish. So, I went along, and really started to get involved it. I guess 32 is not part of D.O.R.A? We did not matter a few days back..............
Excuse me if I am not just a wee bit ticked off that you have decided after all OUR work, (Many nations where involved here!) you can put your two cents worth in, and end it!
GO AHEAD AND EJECT ME FROM 32 COUNTIES!
Hmm having fun gentlemen?. I see no harm in this forum banter, I think it is a good way of letting off Anglo-Irish steam. As you were. :lol:

Looking up from the letter"Give my thanks to the Sultana. Tis times like these that the Knights of Freedom were made for. She has shown herself to be a Knight in the truest sense. Please inform her of our gratitude for her assistance."
Walking out of the tent Fionn gazed to the north and wondered how many more lives would be lost before this was over.
"President Fionn, we have bad news. Queen Red has gone missing! A Commander Biggs is in charge Sir"
The Blood in Fionn's face drained with the news. "What do they know?" he shouted. "Is she dead? or is she missing? I want a full report asap and if I don't get what I need I shall go to MacCool to find her myself! Get Marie on the phone, maybe she knows something!"
Fionn's anger rose to beneath the surface"I need to keep my cool, can nae let my people suffer anymore just for revenge. Well mayhaps if I keep repeating it I can convince myself............"
Call of this attack immediatly! If you do not I assure you that you'll be met with extreme force. :twisted:
We will attack also! The Irish must be free!

Achill Island, Western coast 32 County Irish Republic:
As of 5am GMT the British 5th Corps has landed nearly 75% of its forces on an unguarded portion of the 32 County Irish Republic. A full strength Armored Division has begun a push into the Irish Mainland. The 2nd and 4th fleets will arrive offshore within 12 hours, with only a token force of Landing craft and several Broadsword class for defence. Field Marshall Alan Lancaster has declared Martial Law and all Irish are confined to their homes. Any who disobey shall be shot on sight.

We thank you for your support, but as the Irish have gotten rather bloodthirsty we would suggest building your forces(A contribution of 20 Billion Pounds is made to your military defense fund) and preparing for future conflicts.

This is for peacekeeping duties so if he uses them for warfare it is not the fault of this nation. Also note that if I am attacked, it will end with direct response from the ADN and you will be slaughtered. If British Imperialism survives, then I will ask for the damages to be repaired and have my forces shipped back to me.
Thank you.
This is BBC1 by Order of Her Majesty Queen Victoria does report that her statement to the World shall occur at 2:30 GMT(10:30 EST for you Yanks) with a statement on the current situation. That is all.
Queen Victoria" I feel so proud of my dear noble Troops, who, they say, bear their privations, and the sad disease which still haunts them, with such courage and good humor." ...................................................
In the South Atlantic the Battle group "Retribution" sits. Communications go out to 6 submarine battle groups, All groups focus attention on satellite images of all shps currently around the nation of british Imperialism and the 32 County Irish Republic. The order is sent out to prepre for the end. They will fight and die for their nation.
3 Battleships
6 Missile Crusiers
24 Destroyers
12 Frigates
30 Submarines
3 Aircraft Carriers
Many salvo's of Cruise missiles and other long range anti ship missiles are fired upon the targets. Destroyers provide defensive support as do lauched aircraft. There is no hiding now. They steam forward to engage the enemy once and for all.
God Save The Queen!
We have prepared for the final battle. We are sending the following fleet to engage the apparently last BI unit that is operational, the "Retribution" fleet
5 Aircraft carriers
30Subs
30 destroyers
10 cruisers
7 frigates
4 battleships
30 Piranha fast attack boat with Yakhont anti-ship cruise missile system
Oh, by the way, I already launched some missiles at your fleet, so please report casualties. And I launch another 30 Napalm Sunburns.
In other news, the number of BI soldiers that have managed to reach London and surrender has now reached 2 million. However according to Republican Militairy Command, this is not enough. Due to recent reports gathered, it appears that many more soldiers are still in hiding. To track them down, 9th and 10th Corps are being sent back to BI to begin rooting out the remaining troops. Also being sent in are all armor units previously involved, as well as all but one arty battalion previously involved. We are also sending in 3rd and 4th Corps, two more armor divisions, and another arty battalion.
On another note, the RMC is pleased to report the completion of yet another Sub-Urb, so that more BI civilians can be evacuated.

"Yes, Fionn. No one has seen her. I am doing the best I can. Fionn, Fionn are you there?"
Commander Biggs listened and heard no sound on the line. "I wonder how much he heard?" The commander put the phone down, and sat back for a minute.
"All my years of schooling has not prepared me for this disaster!" He mumbled to himself, as he watched the sunset out the large window across room.

BWO Diplomatic channels open:
Following todays meeting of the Body of Delegates the following request was respectfully lodged at your consulate.
We think you may want to have a quiet word with your military intelligence boys and girls...
We would request that such forces are _NOT_ deployed against the BI homeland. The BI Homeland is currently a shattered wreck of a country. Over one and a half thousand missiles have been fired into the territory by other nations, and it has been infected with biochemical weaponry by its own forces. The only military units currently active within the BI homeland are occupying forces from various nations and a _tiny_ smattering of partisans and guerilla forces still fighting for their Queen and country. There still remains a quite large civilian population (although nowhere near as large as it was before the conflict) who are desparately in need of assistance.
We would also cordially request that you do not utilise nuclear weaponry in the conflict. This may seem like a good idea to interventionist nations such as yourselves, but you do not have to live with the long term consequences of such actions. Our dulse and seaweed harvests are already suspended due to contamination from sunken nuclear craft in the Irish Sea, and our agronomists are expressing grave doubts about the wisdom of harvesting our wheat and potato crops.
To recap, the only people likely to be harmed by such actions are:
1.) British Imperialist civilians,
2.) Occupying military forces,
3.) Healthcare and aid teams deployed to aid British Imperialist civilians,
4.) Those territories which are located close to the mainland of British Imperialism, and,
5.) Several hundred die hard British Imperialist stay behind guerillas.
We do not believe that such an attack would prove financially feasible given the current high price of nuclear weaponry on the global market.
So, if you want to do something useful you could send in a couple of your nuclear technicians to shut down the damaged reactors which are leaking radioactive materials into the atmosphere at an alarming rate. We have already requested that who ever bombed them in the first place repair them, but previous occupying forces seem more interested in looting the place for 'reparations' and relocating British Imperialist civilians to their own homelands as human shields in case of retaliation.
We would consider such an action a fitting tribute to the heroic firemen of Chernobyl who laid down their lives so that others may survive.
Thank you.

The BWO Radio Home Service studios:
"Any word from that inbred old bag yet?" asks the head of department.
"No, we're still working on patching through the communication links. We have received irregular test transmissions from British Imperilism though, so we do expect to receive something." Answers the technician as he works at adjusting the back of a television monitor, his head sunk deep within the apparatus.
"Very well, when are we expecting her?" says the head of department as he stares at the flickering image of a lion and a unicorn. Due to the shaky picture they look like they are jutterbugging.
"About an hour and a half. We should have the bugs in the system ironed out by then. Pass me that number 4 screwdriver, would you?"
"Here you go..."
There follows a large pop and the monitor screen goes blank. A cloud of grey smoke emerges from the apparatus. The technician lifts his head out of the casing and his face is painted black with soot. He removes his goggles and big white circles rim his eyes.
"Feck."

Bodies Without Organs Civil Defence Committee Communique #1
We, the people of the Freeland of Bodies Without Organs, as expressed through the democratically elected Body of Delegates, do issue this appeal to the world community.
Due to the ongoing tense international situation which embroils our nation we are issuing an appeal for a nation to come forward and offer their services as a potential evacuation site for our children and pregnant women, should such desperate measures come to pass.
("Children" is here defined as an individual holding Bodies Without Organs citizenship under the age of seventeen years and one day, all infants which have not yet had bureaucratic processes granting them citizenship completed, and any mentally challenged individuals judged to have a mental age of less than eight years old. "Pregnant women" is here used to refer to any female who has been certified as pregnant by the relevant authorities within the Bodies Without Organs College of Midwifery and Obstetrics or their local General Practitioner or other recognised childbirth association).
We will be able to offer reasonable recompense prior to such an evacuation, and to undertake a large part of the physical relocation, if given sufficient warning before we come under attack.
Nations offering assistance should:
1.) Have above average rankings in both Civil Rights and Political Freedoms.
2.) Have a spotless human rights record.
3.) Agree to care for our children and pregnant women as if they were their own should the remaining adult population of Bodies Without Organs not survive the current escalation of tensions.
4.) Not currently be engaged in conflict which could endanger our youth and childbearing females, nor be aware of any other such upcoming conflicts which could so threaten them.
5.) Be wholly located upon the terrestrial globe.
Signed by the Body of Delegates, counter signed by Civil Defence committee,
per pro,
The people of the Freeland of Bodies Without Organs.
OOC: edited on 27th. I am aware that the evacuation is unfeasible. We can but try and save our nation's youth. I estimate that we could load about 300 people onto each of our 300 civilian ships (the trawler fleet has been called back to harbour due to fears of radioactive contamination of fish). We _might_ be able to get 10,000 out.
OOC 2: edited again on 27th. I had a look at my copy of Whitaker's almanac and it appears that Iceland, with a population of approx. one quarter of a million had over one thousand ships as of 1997. So, I'll claim that I have about 5000 including anything we can get floating. Seem fair? Average out at 200 people crammed onto each... that comes to a nice round 100,000 evacuees per trip.

From the inoperable cancer wards and hospices of the Freeland of Bodies Without Organs a volunteer team of retired and pensioned off construction workers and engineers began to form. There had been much discussion in the national media of the risks of radioactive contamination threatening this corner of the globe due to still active nuclear reactors of British Imperialism which were damaged during the carpet bombing of that nation. There had been much talk, but little action and the international community, despite repeated requests, did not seem to care.
It started as a joke - one terminal case laughing from his hospital bed and saying that he should be sent to deal with the problem, and quickly escalated beyond that as word spread of his chance remark. A deputation of the aged and diseased - all those with very little time left to live - was formed and presented their case to their local Delegate. He found it hard to take these men seriously at first - these men and women with shaking hands and marks of recent failed surgery. They pressed their case and he realised they were in earnest.
Bulldozers and construction vehicles were loaded onto the dredger BSV Tweedledee, parked atop its cargo of sand, and the suicide squad began their embarkation. They carried with them the _6_ radiation proof suits which they would share between the two hundred and twenty of them.
The BSV Tweedledee called in at New Windscale, and seventy two people debarked there. They took with them 2 of the radiation proof suits to be employed by the still healthy scientists that had also volunteered for this mission. Trucks were recquisitioned and filled with sand and gravel. The men and women departed to shut down the badly damaged Sellafield reactor. They worked till they fell, and when they fell their compatriots merely rolled the corpses out of the way and buried them in the sand and gravel that they were using to seal in the containment units. The scientists had succeeded in shutting down the reactors as best they could, but they too saw the need for further action and joined in with the invalid engineers and construction workers. Further trucks and cement mixers arrived from regions only lightly hit by the carpet bombing and the survivors began to lay concrete over the great piles of hardcore filler that they had put in place. At the end of the first day there were thirty casualties. The rest worked into the night, trying the best to ignore the symptoms of nausea, diarrhoea, internal bleeding, headaches and faintness. They worked till they dropped. The reactor was not fully sealed, but it was the best they could do.
Similar stories were returned from the other two reactors, at Aldermaston and Dounreay, that the volunteer units were able to reach. There were twelve individuals that survived to reach refugee camps, but they too passed away within the week. In memoriam they were honoured by the people of Bodies Without Organs by the franking of a new medal - the single silver star for self-sacrifice - and its delivery to their next of kin.

VICTORIA, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and of her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith finally speaks to the awaiting nations:
Victoria Regina - We are not pleased with the current situation besetting our people. We do not wish for any further loss of life in this and do hope we can settle this without further bloodshed.
Delegate Connolly - Did she wink? I'm sure she winked!
Victoria Regina - Those responsible shall be brought to justice for the travesties commited.
Delegate Harrison - Interesting.
Delegate Connolly - Yes, I didn't realize her skin was quite that shade of green.
AV Engineer Josef Prine - Look, my techs were up all night working on getting that picture through. I'm taking that as an official complaint against the Union. You just swan in here and complain because there's a tiny coloured tint to the picture, why I oughta...
Delegate Harrison - Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Settle down and let the rest of us watch the video again.
Delegate O'Rourke - So they want to stop the war? Excellent news... shall we declare war on them before they sign the official surrender papers? Wouldn't want to miss out on our place in history, would we?
Temporary Recruitment Officer Taggart - Hold on. How do you stop a war?
Delegate Harrison - Surrender.
Temporary Recruitment Officer Taggart- Or?
Delegate Calvino - Call a ceasefire?
Temporary Recruitment Officer Taggart - Or?
Delegate Blish - Lose the war?
Temporary Recruitment Officer Taggart - Or?
Delegate O'Rourke - Well... win, I suppose.
Temporary Recruitment Officer Taggart - And what is the only other way to win without further bloodshed?
Delegate O'Rourke - err... well... ask all enemy combatant nations to surrender.
Temporary Recruitment Officer Taggart - and what would be the best way to force them to offer surrender?
Delegate O'Rourke - well, I guess..., threaten them with annihilation if they continue to resist?
Temporary Recruitment Officer Taggart - Give that man a cigar.
Delegate Harrison - Okay, that's one interpretation. Anybody else?
Delegate Calvino - She didn't actually say anything about the atrocities they have committed, did she? Let me see the print out ... "besetting _our_ people"
Delegate Harrison - Yes, good point. Anything else?
Delegate Calvino - Well, this "We do not wish for any further loss of life" bit. That worries me.
- Why? That's crystal clear. They don't want anymore people to get hurt, do they? Crystal clear.
Delegate Calvino - Yes, exactly. They don't want anymore _people_ to get hurt. According them most of the population of 32CIR and this nation aren't people. We're (ahem) "subhumans".
Delegate Harrison - Hmmm, you may have a point there. What else have we been able to learn?
Delegate Connolly - That she appears to have green skin and the inability to stand still?
AV Engineer Josef Prine - Look, I'm warning you. If you're going to mock the work of my technicians I'll lodge a complain with the Body of Delegates. A bit of a green tint to the picture and a proplem with the vertical hold, that's all. You haven't seen the work we put into getting that picture...
Perhaps my post in the forum was not seen... I sent over 400 miniguntanks and 10 dragonpearl tactical strike fighters. He quite probably has these by now.
OOC:Yes it was seen and yes they were received. They are not being used currently but sahll when the need arises again. Our thanks to your aid. We suggest holding off on further attacks or aid at this time. But worry not the time shall come in future when all shall be needed for the good fight. God save the Queen!
OOC:My Northern fleet has sustained massive losses only 1 out of 4 ships is till afloat. Combat effectiveness is 2%. They are lost. The Southern fleet is down by 65% and while having sustained grevious damage could continue to fight but has surrendered. We expect all POW to be treated fairly. List the damage to your fleets from my attacks. I am working on the complete damage list will post it later. Ta.
"Captain prepare my plane, I'm going to MacCool. With communications like this i need to go and find out what the feck is going on. Send word to Commander Biggs and inform him of my arrival. Ask Marie to meet me there. Well don't just stand there man there is work to be done!"
"Yes Sir"
So, if you want to do something useful you could send in a couple of your nuclear technicians to shut down the damaged reactors which are leaking radioactive materials into the atmosphere at an alarming rate. We have already requested that who ever bombed them in the first place repair them, but previous occupying forces seem more interested in looting the place for 'reparations' and relocating British Imperialist civilians to their own homelands as human shields in case of retaliation.
Whoa, hold on. I am NOT evacuating these BI civilians as a human sheild, I am getting them out of the rubble that was BI. Besides, if the refugees were a human sheild, then why would I build three Sub-Urbs for them, feed them, give them medical attention, etc. I don't need a human sheild, all of my people have already been safeguarded. And my troops have not been looting, despite the obviousness of how easy it would be. On another note: 1.Who the hell blew up those damn reactors, and 2 I'm sick of waiting, so I'm sending in some of my nuclear technicians to shut them down.
A POW report. 4 million BI troops have surrendered so far. Because of space constraints, we can not take any more into our own country, so the cease fire is off. All my forces in BI will consolidate in and around London. This is a warning to all BI troops: Stay away from London, and you won't be hurt, just wait until the war ends. Also, the third Sub-Urb is about halfway full with BI civilians.
OOC:My Northern fleet has sustained massive losses only 1 out of 4 ships is till afloat. Combat effectiveness is 2%. They are lost. The Southern fleet is down by 65% and while having sustained grevious damage could continue to fight but has surrendered. We expect all POW to be treated fairly. List the damage to your fleets from my attacks. I am working on the complete damage list will post it later. Ta.
Um, who attacked you? I can't find a combat post with your fleet in it. And don't worry, your troops in our custody will be well taken care of.

Dispatch issued this day to the Vyse King of Rogues Consulate in our capitol city
Re: Looting - What we have seen other BI occupying forces doing is demanding reparations for the losses to their own troops, when they have themselves decided to invade the territory. (See the Declaration Of War thread for examples of this kind of behaviour).
Re: Human Shields - Although we do not have direct reports of the location of evacuated POWs/Civilians, other than from your own nation, we do have questions that we would like to ask to other nations.
Re: "Who the hell blew up those nuclear reactors?" I have absolutely no idea. It was complete chaos there as the mainland of BI was invaded by several different nations simultaneously while also being carpet bombed with missiles. There is the possibility that they were deliberately sabotaged by BI gladius partisans. All I know is that I can no longer harvest dulse, potatoes, or wheat, nor operate my trawler fleer, and the veterinarians are calling for a cull of all cattle following the alarming increase in deformed calves and stillbirths. Do you want to buy a two-headed cow as a souvenir of this glorious struggle?
My ecconomy has plunged to Weak and we are expecting it to collapse further as we plough all available funds into international relief and the possible evacuation of our nation's youth and childbearing females.
Re: "I'm sending in some of my nuclear technicians to shut them down."
Good man, I knew we could rely on someone to make good on our pathetic efforts. You wouldn't mind sealing Porton Down Weapons Research Establishment in concrete while you're there, would you? Despite suffering the effects of radioactive contamination our general population have been mercifully spared the direct effects of biochemical weaponry.
I demanded reparations too, but that was because of the casualties my troops suffered in 32 county, and the losses suffered by my fleet. Casualties in BI have been relativley insignificant. And do you need help to fix your economy? You offered me help if I needed it, so it just seems right I should do the same for you.
Oh, and if you want I could build another Sub-Urb to keep your people safe. I could even build it in your country.

Our offer for Humanitarian Aid is STILL on the table for any nation that is in need. I must admit that the use of Nuclear weapons was a bluff on our part for we know the damage and destruction the residual radiation would cause. We will provide any reactor assistance to any damaged nuclear technology that has been affected during this war. We support the ideals of peace and would go to great lengths to see it come through.

Delegate Harrison: Looks like our Diplomatic Corp finally did something right after all. Now what is this rumour of surrender? I find that hard to believe - the British Imperialist navies are still fighting are they not? Dispatch Catalinas to pick up any survivors from the BI ships in need of assistance - and I want them treated well, none of this atrocity malarky. Have them delivered to the BI consulate if you find any. Okay?

The use of Nuclear weapons is NOT authorized or necessary at this stage of the war. Nor is the use of a chemical attack pertinent to the current situation. British Imperialism has been severely weakened. There is absolutely no need for such a drastic form of overkill. Stand Down. If you proceed you will kill many occupying troops including many Humanitarian Aid Workers from Indra Prime and we do not take kindly to attack especially under the flag of truce. If you continue there will be major retribution.

Congratulations on your amazing efficiency at acquiring nuclear weapons within the first day of your existence!
Are we to assume that you are an ally of British Imperialism?, as the only forces currently active within the BI mainland, excepting a tiny smattering of stay behind guerrilas are:
1.) Occupying military forces
2.) Healthcare and Aid teams ministering to refugees
3.) BI civilians suffering great privations
4.) Several teams of nuclear specialists attempting to deal with kleaking reactors.
As I have previously pointed out to the nation of Indra Prime, our wee nation would be much happier if nuclear weapons were not used in this conflict. At present we are unable to harvest dulse, potatoes, or wheat, our fishing fleet has been returned to harbour and a cull is underway due to contamination of our cattle stocks. This is merely the result of accidental losses of nuclear craft in the Irish Sea and the damage to nuclear powered reactors on the British Imperialism.
You may now also be wondering how the mainland of British Imperialism got to be in this state, no? Well, various world powers were able to stomach their threats of genocide against the Eirean people, _until_ they decided to use biochemical weaponry. I imagine that said nations would most likely take quite a dim view of your own good nation if it was to actually follow through on its threat of using chemical warfare.
I think that covers most salient points. You may want to have a read through the initial response I made to the nation of Indra Prime for a refresher course on the current situation re: the British Imperialist mainland.
Anything else? Oh yes, WOULD PEOPLE PLEASE STOP BOMBING THE BRITISH IMPERIALIST MAINLAND! I apologise for shouting, but there is a lot of counterproductive activity going on in this corner of the world.

By the decree of his Mightyness of The Confederacy of United Confederation a wave of 14-28 Centurion MK-VI ICBM Missiles have been given pre-launch orders. Within 72hrs these Missiles will breech British missile defences and touch ground at Airbases, Radar Stations, Training Camps, Fuel Dumps and other areas of Strategic Importance with a success rate of 99.9-100%. Distruction will be total. The half-life of the Fissionable Material is 2.5 Weeks but British soil with be infertile and hazardous for generations due to a secondary wave of Chemical attacks. Escape is now possible in 72hrs it will not. This is non negotiable. Hostilities against our fellow Irish warren ZERO TOLERANCE. Relations with your nation will resume when it is seen fit. Leave now. This warning is pay per view and you nation will be billed a nominal fee. Have a nice Day!

The streets of the Freeland of Bodies Without Organs ring with the sound of a test of emergency broadacast systems. Sirens wail against the night sky and loudspeakers repeat the following annoucnements
"In case of sonic attack on your district, follow these rules:
Do not waste time blocking your ears, do not waste time seeking a soundproof shelter: try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible, but do not panic. Small babies may be placed inside the special cocoons, which should be left if possible, in a shelter.
Remember, in the case of sonic attack, survival does mean every man for himself. Statistically more people survive if they think only of themselves.
Do not attempt to rescue friends, relatives, or loved ones.
You have only a few seconds to escape: use those seconds sensibly or you will inevitably die. Do not panic - think only of yourselves.
These are the first signs of sonic attack: you will notice small objects, such as ornaments, oscillating, you will notice a vibration in your diaphragm, you will hear a distant hissing in your ears, you will feel dizzy, you will feel the need to vomit. There will be bleeding from orifices. There will be an ache in the pelvic region. You may be subject to fits of hysterical shouting, or even laughter. These are all sign of imminent sonic destruction.
If you are less than ten years old, then remain in your shelter and use your cocoon, but remember: you can help no-one else."

Attention to all nations providing Humanitarian Aid to British Imperialism. The Command Center of Indra Prime has recently recieved word from the Nuclear Task Force we sent into BI to clean up the Radiated materials that was released when the Nuclear Reactors of BI were either damaged or destroyed. The Task Force has begun cleaning up the mess and has advised home base to inform all assisting Nations to evac all personnel from the southern area of BI in order to avoid contamination. This team is specially trained for this and they know what is required to accomplish the goal of cleaning up the radioactivity. Once again please evacuate the Southern Region of BI within 24 hours or risk self contamination. Please send a telegram to Indra Prime's Nuclear Activities Director immediately when all your assets are evac'ed.

I don't think that is a very good Idea, my friend. Indra Prime has not been involved in this conflict up to this point except to assist in Humanitarian Areas. However we have agreed to help Irish Territory from any additional forms of aggression. The other countries have been in the battle for a while and have suffered casualties, but we on the other hand, have an army that is refreshed and ready to go in at any moment. So I would seriously reconsider the invasion. Oh, one final thing. We have a strong backing from many other nations and we have military defense treaties with many of them. Reconsider and Back Down.

Oh and Red Tide. Just FYI. British Imlerialism DOES still have nuclear capability or otherwise we wouldn't have sent a special Nuclear Task Force to help their technicians clean up the radioactive mess they had recieved from their damaged reactors. Part of the arrangement was that we also had to check on the missiles themselves to verify that there was no leakage of radiation from the warheads.
And BI we just recieved a status rpt. from our people in the field. They tell us that reactors 3, 5 8, and 12 have been repaired. Reactors 4 and 9 suffered extreme damage and must be put out of commission. Work still proceeds on the others.

I looked at the thread on that and it said that they see humans as something to be protected. You would have to change their genetics again, and reclone 100,000 raptors. Thus causing you to pay twice as much and to take much longer to create them. They also wouldn't know if it's irish blood or not. Even if they could tell between british and irish, there are plenty of mixes in between in British Imperialism. The idea of cloned dinos is flawed.

Although we thank you for the offer, and may avail of such an ooportunity in the future, we are currently severely limited in funds. Most money is being spent importing food into our nation, following the disastrous effects of radioactive contamination on our staple diets. We have set aside a small amount for the new display in our Anatomical Curiosities museum. So far the exhibition of deformed calves, piglets and lambs has been a big draw. We are trying our best to make good on the radioactive poisoning of our livestock, and this is the best we have been able to come up with so far.

This is a post by Bodies Without Organs. It is somewhat of the nature of a test post, because we keep appearing as an "ex-nation":
The Freeland of Bodies Without Organs is an isalnad nation, and can best be conceived as Iceland moved several hundred miles to the south-east. This places it in a location roughly equivalent to the UK Shipping Forecast Area "Bailey". Its mountainous territory is covered by prisitine, untouched, evergreen forests. It possesses several small offshore islands, but none are more than 30 miles from its coastline. There are several oilrigs operating in its northern territorial waters. Its population is comprised mainly of Northern Ireland expats and their descendents.
How I visualise the other countries engaged in this conflict:
The British Imperialist mainland appears to be comprised of territory roughly equivalent to England and Scotland.
Wales appears to be governed by Vallinon.
Ireland... this is where it gets confusing:
Psychik tv appears to be roughly equivalent to the counties of Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon and Galway.
Northern Ireland Freedom appears equivalent to either the 6 counties of Northern Ireland, or the 9 counties of Ulster.
Danu appears to be comprised of at least the historic Pale, probably the counties of Louth, Dublin, Meath, Kildare and Wicklow.
Various other pan-Irish nations seem to also exist within the body of Ireland.
Reichskamphen appears to be located in an area reoughly equivalent to unified Germany.
All of this counts as speculation. I am _not_ making claims about other people's territories, just describing how I visualise the map of this conflict. I initially entered because no one else appeared to be playing anything equivalent to Northern Irish interests. With the entry of the more establsihed "Northern Irish Freedom" into the conflict I drifted my territories away from Ireland and to the North-West. Since then I have been becoming more like Iceland everyday. Interesting fact: like Ireland, Iceland possesses _no_ snakes. (Q: What did St. Patrick say as he was driving the snakes out of Ireland? A: Are you alright in the back there?)
Nationstates: time is strange here, space is doubly so.
This was a broadcast by the Bodies Without Organs Tourist Board. Come visit our glacier carved landscape, while you still can.

In order to ease the sufferings of the starving civilian population of the British Imperialist mainland, the Freeland of Bodies Without Organs are pleased to announce its "Oil For Aid" programme.
British Imperialist oilrigs off the northeast coast of the mainland have been stuck without supplies since the invasion of the Mainland. It has been reported in an official press release that the starving roustabouts and engineers on these rigs will be supplied by Bodies Without Organs vessels. Revenue from the oil rigs will be converted into aid supplies which will be delivered to other nation's relief teams operating on the mainland.
A flotilla of vessels comprised of several empty tankers, towing barges for stowage, supply ships, and small patrol vessels operated by the Bodies Without Organs coast guard has departed for the British Imperialist oilfields.
The Private Jet touched down on Indra Primes capitals airport. A helicopter was waiting as the Commander stepped down the stairway. The chopper lifted off the ground once the man was inside. As it landed at the palace/mansion/whatever of Indra Primes leader Gregory left the chopper. Upon entering he sat down without a hello and said.

Director John Harding looked across at the man sitting in the chair. So this is the Leader of Red Tide, he thought. This is a man whom I can work with.
"Supreme Commander Gregory, I am Director Jonathan Harding of the Temporal Research Institute. I have asked you here to discuss terms for a possible Alliance between our two nations. As You know, Indra Prime is not a warring nation. We do however have a technologically advanced military... in most respects. Our nation has, through the institute of which I lead, developed a form of hardware called multispatial technology. Now this technology has many uses. However it does not include naval ships or such which we now need. What I propose, is that we set up a treaty, in which you will provide us with the ships and naval technology we request and in return, we will provide you with our key to interstellar travel. In Laymans terms is is a temporal impellor which allows an object (in this case a ship) to cross the expanse of Real Space in a matter of Seconds. This is through a series of Hyper relays we have scattered through out the region. Our Network is growing ever so large. This is what we would like to trade. Naval Ships for the use of our hyperengines."
I sat back after giving him this information and studied his reaction. For a moment he seemed stunned then he quickly recovered.
"THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Of Course we can trade... and the alliance to We can ship 5 DREAD class missile cruisers by next month... And maybe a few TSUNAMI attack subs. Maybe a SUN class aircraft carrier or 2. But is this all?"

Meanwhile back in Britain...
Another convoy attempted to make across the same road. While clearing the wreckage of the first one a soldier saw the tip of a RPG launcher stickng out of the bushes
"HEY!"
But that was all that he was able to get out as once agian 11 RPGs flew through the air. Striking the APCs and trucks, once agian the area was sprayed with bullets. But this time there was a survivor. The man peaked out from his hiding place and watched as several men in BWO uniforms came stepped out of the brush. They went over and began to loot the bodies. The man couldnt do anything... it would be his fists vs thier guns. He watched as they left. When he was sure they were gone he climbed out of the bushes that he dived into and began to head towards London
OOC: Can someone send me the link of the other forum?
In London, BI: currently under Republican control.
A general, who looked as if he was in his 60's, walks down what used to be a main street of the city. He is followed by two troopers, as well as a Colonel, who's nametag says Gilder. All over the destroyed city, Republican troops attempt to rebuild the city so that they can move out of the tents they currently live in. Hit by over 200 Republican missiles, the city has been completley destroyed, and all survivors were evacuated by the Army.
A messenger runs up to Colonel Gilder and hands him a file. Gilder looks at the contents, and then addresses the General.
"General Gregorio."
"Yes colonel?"
"The Engineer units report that they have completed all of the bunkers, trenches, and minefields. All we have to do now is wait out the war."
"Good. What is the status of the reconstruction efforts?"
'According to this report, 7% of the city has been rebuilt. The 9th and 10th Corps, because they have been here the longest, will be the first moved into the buildings. Also, we have built three helipads, so the supply choppers won't have any more problems landing."
"Thank you Colonel. Now we just have to hope that BI doesn't let this war drag on much longer."

They just were a nice big Meal for the 100,000 Vicious Raptors roaming around that while Genetic harmless to those of Irish blood... and normally harmless to non-irish, have since the war started been Triggered to attack and make meals of non-irish.
You need to look up my nations national Animal.
The Cloned Raptor... from millions of years ago
:P :P :P
I looked at the thread on that and it said that they see humans as something to be protected. You would have to change their genetics again, and reclone 100,000 raptors. Thus causing you to pay twice as much and to take much longer to create them. They also wouldn't know if it's irish blood or not. Even if they could tell between british and irish, there are plenty of mixes in between in British Imperialism. The idea of cloned dinos is flawed.
Ahhh but they have a Genetic Trigger, normally their harmless however if the Gene is triggered they are vicious to all but those with a certain Gene that 99 pct of Irish have, They have extra sensitive sense of smell which can identify the gene, They also have a Gene trigger that triggers them to attack ANYONE.
And let me have my fun huh?

OOC: If it is a case of smell recognition then all some one needs to do is isolate the scent and create an aerosol dino repellent. And this talk about 99% of irish having a certain gene? Are we to read that as only the irish have it and no one else? Smells like popular fascism to me. "Irish" is not a genetic makeup, it is either a cultural heritage, a place of birth or a passport. Not trying to spoil your fun, but as a suggestion for more fun, if I may make a humble suggestion, wouldn't it be more interesting if the dinos went feral and proliferated like rabbits in Australia?

War crimes; which involve violations of the laws or customs of war, such as murder, ill treatment, or deportation of the civilian population of occupied territory, murder or ill treatment of prisoners of war or people on the seas, killing of hostages, plunder of public or private properties, wanton destruction of cities, towns or villages or devastation not justified by military necessity.
(19/07 10:59pm, & 20/07 11:05pm)

The Indra Prime Humanitarian Aid Service has recently announced that the relief efforts in the British Imperialism, that has formally been coordinated by the nation Bodies Without Organs, has officially taken command of the relief efforts based in BI...
Our national conscience would not let us accept such supplies whilst there are still civilians on the mainland of British Imperialism who are starving, being poisoned by radioactivity, having their flesh consumed by necrotic virii, and hunted and eaten by saurians both large and small. In comparison we are merely reorganising our dietary habits. They will be returned for distribution amongst the truely suffering.
We didn't realise that we were coordinating the relief efforts upon the BI mainland. We merely sent a few shipments of aid and had some volunteers who were determined to shut down the leaking reactors. We laud your efforts in the direction of relief work and hold you in much higher esteem than many nations that thought their work was finished when they had finished cluster bombing and machine gunning people.
We would like to enquire how the plague of saurians is affecting you. A couple of our backroom boys have been tossing around the idea of an aerosol repellent, but realistically we can see a cull as the only sensible step to safeguard the civilian population. As Bishop Brennan said during the service just the other day: "if God had wanted man to have the living flesh torn off of him by saurians from the dawn of time with teeth like straight razors and claws like carving knives then He would have instructed Noah to build an ark large enough to house them all in the first place". A compelling theological argument, I'm sure you'll agree.

The Food and suppies in this current shipment/ group of shipments is to be distributed to ALL those countries that have been hit the hardest from this conflict when they arrive at New Edinburgh, the central location for the Disaster Relief Groups.
Also as a side note to all nations in relief efforts.
Our Nuclear Task Force has enformed our command center that the repairs to the Nuclear Reactors in the Southern part of BI have either been refurbished and repaired or destroyed and cleaned up.

We have had a catastrophe come upon us. Earlier this morning our Chief Executive Director, Jonathan Harding's plane was shot down in routeto the training site. We believe it to be a Terrorist Act to stop our country from expanding so rapidly. We lost contact with his plane at 0723 Hours this morning and at the same time saw an unidentified object about the size of a stinger missle approach and meet the Jet. We do not believe there were any survivors out of the 46 passengers on board. We are outraged at this incident and are calling a halt to all non essential operations for the time being. We apologize for the inconvienance to you and your men. The Executive Council has authorized you to use the training ground for the duration of the training exercises. If we are able to spare a few troops from the Battle Plan we are developing we will send them to your position and assist.

The plane was shot down over the north pacific 100 miles off our southern mainland. Our recovery teams have reaqched the site but only wreckage and debris has been found. We don't see any way our leader could have survived.
We thank our Drakonian friends for assissting us in rebuilding London, for when the BI civilians return. And about their safety. They are in London. To get to them, you have to go through two miles of prepared defenses, with loads of artillery raining down on your head, and then you'd have to break through the defenses of the city itself. And any attempts on any Drakonians outside of London will be met with the harshest of punishments-I'd like to point out that my supply of ICCMs has been restocked, so I recommend you keep your hands off of them.
And in response to the death of Lord Stewart. :x ASSASSINATION!?! :x Truly the dirtiest, most disgusting of tactics. And now, we can not bring him to justice in a fair trial. I may not have liked him, but killing him when he was defenseless was dishonorable. And now, BI forces are in a rage. My soldiers report 20% increase in daily attacks by remaining BI forces around London. Let this madness stop, please, I beg both sides to form a treaty to stop the carnage.

Aide: "No, only what we have been able to glean from the broadcast. Just what was said there."
(Chinaski looked around at the cracked panes in the windows and the obsolete but still in service 286 sitting on her desk.) "Well, I don't think we _really_ count as a capitalist nation. Still, best be cautious, I suppose. The Civil Defense boys and girls are still on exercises?"
Aide: "Yes, off playing boy scouts in the forests."
"Right, well, maybe we should just leave them out of this until they know what they are doing. Alert the coastguard and the customs and excise men, I suppose. Could we get some geiger counters set up at the airports and docks?"
Aide: "We could, but there are far too many other ways to slip these things into a country to place any reliance on that."
"It would reassure the tourists, though, would it not?"
Aide: "Yes, I suppose so. Replica detectors would be much more in line with the funds available."
"Well, how about calling on the universities and seeing if they can loan us anything - educational pieces of equipment, you know? We'll see what we can scrape together from them. So, anything else to attend to in the meantime - let me see... that explosion and fire on the oilrig, what was it Crawford Beta?"
Aide: "Gamma, Crawford Gamma. Current casualty figures are 13. Emergency evacuation procedures appear to have worked well. The whole platform is a write off though. The nautical engineering team said it would be best to demolish the whole superstructure."
"Yes, terrible business, do we suspect terrorist involvement?"
Aide: "Ah, Madam Chinaski, I think you should have a look at this briefing paper." (Hands over dossier.)

There will be a seafood ffeast held on a section of attractive beachland close to our capitol city. Tables and chairs have been put in place, a traditional band has been hired, and the finest chefs available to the nation have been employed. There will be a scheduled sailby of the massed ranks of our trawler fleet late in the evening.
The delegations from Lavallin and Vyse King of Rogues have been allocated seats on either side of the British Imperialist delegation. All attendees are _strongly_ encouraged to respect the peaceful nature of our neutral territory. We have high security in place and look forward to a troublefree event.
(OOC: Invitations are considered to have been sent out to the consuls/ambassadors of all nations involved in the thread. Consider it an opportunity to sound out the possibilities of setting up some official treaties regarding the occupation. My economy has risen from its slump to WEAK back up to REASONABLE, which seems to indicate that we have located some uncontaminated fish stocks.)
The republican delegation arrives at the feast. The delegate himself is Prince Enrique of the Valuan Throne.
(OOC: Valua is part of the Republic;just to avoid confusion)
He is accompanied by 3 squads of Blue Rogues, who will assist in security.
Enrique: Well, let's hope this can be a step towards peace. I just hope this won't be like the last party that a delegation visited.
Blue rogue captain: You mean the one where vampires attacked and killed half of the people there?
Enrique: Yeah. That one.
Captain: Don't worry sir. We'll make sure that no one here is harmed by anyone.
Meanwhile, in the Republican Army Command Center, in Soltis City.
General Diago: And what about this PRA? Do we have any info on them at all?
Intel officer: No sir. As far as we know, they have been established recently, and are not under command of BI. They also claim to have nukes.
Daigo: Oh bloody joy and happiness. Another rebel group. ok, we can handle this. I want extra security in the Sub-Urbs, no one gets in if they aren't registered, I don't care if they say they have a dying relative inside! Also, activate every Blue Rogues unit we have, and tell them to kill anything and everything they can find that is related to this PRA in our country. if there is only one PRA terrorist, I want him dead! And notify the High Commander. Tell him that we may have to break out the ACS.
Intel officer: You've got to be kidding sir! The ACS!?!
Daigo:Just do it!! We don't have time to argue about how much that will cost us, I want them prepared! If it drops in the pot, then we're gonna need them in the middle of it!

In order to avoid direct confrontation with anti-war and human rights protestors that are gathered at the original location, the event has been relocated severl miles up the coast in a secluded cove formed by dramatic fjords that rise skywards. Ice can just be seen on the peaks of the hills, but it is a warm night and several driftwood bonfires have been lit for atmosphere.
The republican delegation arrives at the feast. The delegate himself is Prince Enrique of the Valuan Throne.
The maitre de cordially welcomes delegation of the Valuan Throne: a caller announces "The esteemed Prince Enrique of the noble Valuan Throne". They are escorted to their table. They are free to roam as they will, but ultramodern (for BWO) fax, phone and internet (operating on antiquated Mac Classic IIs) facilities have been provided at this location lest the need communicate with the outside world.
He is accompanied by 3 squads of Blue Rogues, who will assist in security.
The Blue Rogers are taken aside by security, and as reasonably efficient check take place to see that their carried armaments are equal ro their declared armaments, they are instructed that they _must_ respect the neutrality of the territory, and to utilise minimum force if there happen to be any untoward incidents. They are given the opportunity of siting themselves where they please within the beachfront.
The head of the BWO Diplomatic Corp - Stanislaw Cohen - greets the emissaries from Vyse King of Rogues with appropriate dignity and decorum. "So glad you could make it, we hope youy find the evening a productive and enjoyable one." With that he melts away into the crowds.
(OOC: I'm too intoxicated to make a great deal of sense right now, so apologies for any appaling lapses of spelling or grammar in the above. I'm planning on this being a hands-off event - our Proud, Free nation is just background colour here (consider it a glamorous location fit for 1960s Bond Movies, if you will).)

You are watching BWOTV 1. It is six o'clock and now the news:
(cheap looking studio set-up, grey haired man in a herringbone suit, 'nice' looking lady in an evening dress sit behind desks and shuffle their papers self-importantly...)
Hello, I'm George Gallagher...
...and I'm Mary Housecarpenter.
And this is BWO Around Six:
(flashy 3d graphics and maps and urgent music)
Headlines: Investigation continues into yesterday's dragging of a trawler. Head of Diplomatic Corps denies snubs took place. Nuclear Terrorism: Is BWO safe?
Following yesterday's incident when the newly reactivated trawler BSV Dedication For Beth was dragged for a period of two hours and a distance of seven nautical miles, the Fisheries Minister, Franklin W. Hardy-Boyce, issued the following statement: "Although the investigation is still ongoing, we strongly suspect that the trawler's nets became caught upon a submarine. We have seen fatalities occur this way in the past, and we can only thank the Lord that the seven man and women crew were spared. They fought long and hard to jettison their nets, but they had become fouled in the winding mechanisms and the procedure became an extended one. It was only their wits and quick thinking in removing the whole winch mountings which saved them. Obviously in the current international situation we find the idea that enemy vessels are operating within our territorial waters a despicable breach of our neutrality. We issue an appeal to the international community to respect our boundaries and to think of the lives they may put at risk if they decide to transgress them in furtherance of their Machiavellian aims." And now Mary with some words on the Diplomatic rifts that appear to have opened up internationally.
(EDIT - APPARENTLY THE CONFERENCE IS STILL ONGOING SO THIS SECTION IS NOT RELEVANT:
Thanks, George. We asked the head of the Diplomatic Corps, Stanislaw Cohen, whether the non-attendance of delegations from Lavallin, British Imperialism and Indra Prime should be taken as snubs against Bodies Without Organs and Vyse King of Rogues: "Well, in the current international tensions there are a lot of responsibilities weighing heavily on the diplomatic staff of many nations, and we were aware that not all would be able to attend. We don't see it as a snub, no, the whole affair was merely a recreational, informal affair." When asked whether the short term relocation of the conference to a different area was caused by fear of terrorism he responded, "No, that was merely to avoid any embarrassing confrontations with various groups of anti-war and human rights protestors that had gathered at the initial site. Their protests were good natured in the end, and I even took time out myself to talk to several of those present. Our security measures were discrete and unobtrusive but effective. I think we can discount any talk of fear keeping the diplomatic staff away from the function". When asked whether he considered the event a success, given that there had been rumours that some treaties regarding the ongoing occupation of British Imperialist territory might come from the meeting the head of the Diplomatic Corps declined to comment. He also answered "No comment" when we enquired whether he felt a rift was opening up between Lavallin and Vyse King Of Rogues. George.... END EDITED OUT SECTION)
In response to the recent threats of nuclear terrorism the nation remains on a high state of alert. Delegate Gallagher of the Civic Defence Committee responded to the situation when interviewed earlier today in this manner: "Although our proud, free country was not directly named during the recent pirate communications by the PRA, I would like to assure the people that we have the matter in hand. Security at seaports and aerodromes has been stepped up and although I cannot officially release any details, our intelligence network is continuing to keep tabs on the situation." And I believe that you have some good news now, Mary?
Oh yes, George, there’s good news indeed for the BWO film industry as the new release "Three Kings Of England" continues to break box office records. The film tells of the adventures of three members of the BWO International Brigade as they travel across the wartorn territory of the occupied British Imperialism mainland in search of the Crown Jewels. They encounter guerrilla fighters, local warlords and during the thrilling climax, hordes of rampaging CGI dinosaurs. I spoke with one of the leads, Robby Cawthorn, last night, during a break from filming his new movie "I Was Lord Alexander's Double" and....

A small helicopter bearing the British flag lands and lets off a passenger before taking off again. The man dressed in a tuxedo strides over to the BWO officials.
The caller raises a hand to his mouth, coughs gently due to the clouds of sand kicked up by the helicopter, quickly wipes down his costume, and then says loudly and clearly: "Emissary of Her Majesty the Queen Victoria of the Dominion of British Imperialism, William Forsyth."
"Good day I am William Forsyth here to represent her Majesty Queen Victoria. You have our appologies for the actions of the late Lord Stewart. My appologies for such tardiness, this conflict has made it quite dreadful to arrange transport willing to chance destruction. Some nations are still a mite triggerhappy."
Forsyth is greeted by the head of the Diplomatic Corps: Stanislaw Cohen. He is similarly attired in a tuxedo, but the affect is somewhat spoiled on him by the fact that he has a badly reconstructed jaw and must keep spitting into a small plastic beaker that he carries everywhere with him - the result of an incident with a shotgun when he was a younger man. "Ah, Forsyth, pleased you could make it. The emissary from Vyse King of Rogues has already arrived. We have allocated you a space close by him, is that satisfactory? We hope that you find this evening a productive one, Now, if you'll excuse me I must try and see if we have confirmations from other ambassadors. I will be close by if required."
"We hope to be able to end what the late Lord Stewart had begun."
Cohen raises a quizzical eyebrow and a worried expression briefly flicks across his face as he gives Forsyth a dignified bow and guides him to his seat.
we are apalled by this act and strongly condemn it, but these are only words.

Location: New Tiger's Bay, Bodies Without Organs:
A minor aide taps Sanislaw Cohen gently on the shoulder and whispers "We believe that emissaries from the nations of Danu and Psychik tv _will_ be attending - possibly even President Fionn MacDougal and Princess Maire themselves." He holds a hand up to his head, pressing on his earpiece and continues, "Yes, we believe they may be somewhat delayed. Nasty squalls off the southwestern headlands."
Cohen nods, turns and spits into his beaker and glances around him. The squads of Blue Rogues appear to be behaving themselves, which is a relief to him. Prince Enrique appears to be relaxed, clapping politely as the traditional musicians finished an extended ballad. The head of the Diplomatic Corps suddenly becomes worried, he can't seem to place Forsyth. Worry strikes at him before he sees the British Imperialism representative examining a tray of sweetmeats. Cohen thinks to himself that he has to relax, he hates that sinking feeling...

OOC: Quick summary:
1. British Imperialism declared war on all nations located in the region of 32 County Irish Republic.
2. An invasion force landed in Psychik tv territory.
3. Irish civilians were brutally slaughtered.
4. International outrage followed.
5. British Imperialism used biochemical weapons against its enemies.
6. In retaliation nations without number invaded the British Imperialist mainland in a disorganised race to occupy New London.
7. Simultaneous to this other nations were firing over 16,000 missiles at any military targets they could locate in the British Imperialist mainland.
8. British Imperialism retaliated by employing biochemical weaponry against his own territory.
9. British Imperialism also launched attacks against nations in the region of Ireland.
10. Two naval battlegroups belonging to British Imperialism were destroyed by Lavallin, who was also parachuting in cloned velociraptors to attack British Imperialist civilians.
11. The head of the branch of British Imperialist armed forces responsible for the attacks was assassinated.
12. A state of war is still in place. The British Imperialist mainland appears to be held by Vyse King of Rogues. The BI territorial waters appear to be governed by Lavallin.
13. An uneasy peace appears to have broken out.
14. An informal peace conference is currently taking place.
British Imperialist allies: none still active.
Neutral powers: Bodies Without Organs, Indra Prime, Red Tide, British Commonwealth(?)
Anti-British Imperialist forces: just about everybody else in the world...
Its been quite a ride. I have left out some of the more juicy bits in the name of military intelligence. If you do a search on all postings by British Imperialism you will locate all relevant threads, except for one dealing with a vaccine to the biochemical weapons which was begun by Psychik tv. All crystal clear?
Apologies for any misinformation or unintentional gaps.
Queen Red awoke to find herself alone in the bunker. Her head still spinning a bit, but she forced herself to sit up right.
"Where has everyone gone?" she mumbled as she tried to reach for her cup of water.
A loud noise made her jump. She turned her head tword the door way and there standing in it was O'Donald.
"My lady, glad to see you are back. How do you feel?" he walked over to her.
"My lady" another man appeared. He also walked tword her, and he leaned over her and started to look her over. "I'm a doctor, I have been asked to check on you" he said as he placed his hands on her head.
"Has the smoke cleared, how long have we been down here, how many are alive, any word from Michael, how....." She had to know what the world outside had to offer. Yet, she dreaded the answers.
"Your majesty, you have been asleep for 3 days. The smoke has cleared, and many are returning to MacCool. We have had many casulaties. No word yet, from your husband. The medical supplies and help sent from other nations has helped us all greatly. You really need to rest, dear." O'Donald patted her shoulder and gathered up her cup to fill with some Brandy, he had brought from upstairs.
"Shhhhhhhhh. I need to examine you. You should remain quiet" the doctor took her arms and began to raise them.
"OH!" She cried. This was quite painful. "Please, don't do that!" she said. O'Donald held the cup as she took a sip of Brandy.
"We need to get her back into the castle and have some xrays done." the doctor announced as he started to leave the bunker.
Mac appeared in the door way. "Aye, I'll bring her up. I brought her down here!" he said as he walked over to the queen and scooped her up.
"Oh, Mac it hurts!" she closed her eyes while the pain shot through her body.
O'Donald was ready to suggest something and he noticed the look Mac was giving him. So he just followed the doctor down the corridor and back up into the castle.
"Wait, O'Donald. Please call Princess Maire and Fionn, and. " she could not even finish her sentence.
"I have spoken to Fionn this morning. He knows the situation and your condition, my lady" O'Donald announced, as he left he bunker.
Mac looked around. It was only him and Red now. "How you feeling rose!" He asked as began carrying back up stairs.
She turned to him. He had not called her rose in along time. She looked at him, and smiled. "Oh, I been better!' she said.
"I won't let anything happen to you. This I swear!" Mac leaned into her and kissed her. He knew it was wrong. He knew she was married. He did not care. He still loved her.............
She raised her hand to touch is face. "I did not want to bring you into this" She returned the kiss. "I knew I would eventually end up on your arms again." she laughed as they entered the ballroom.
The survivor raced across the land. His feet were sore, he was tired. But he knew he must tell the world of this atrocity. Then in the distance he saw lights. LONDON! He was almost there... then someone cried out. "HALT!".

The sun lays high over the British Imprialism coast. Silence reigns over a region desolate of life. The air is still and has a slight smell of explosives. In the distance the whine of a helicopter patrolling this dead zone is heard, then is gone. Many moments pass before a figure is seen. Camoflauged and wearing an environmental suit the figure pulls a pair of binoculars out and focuses on a distant structure.
What before the war was a facility used by Volkswagon for its new Beetle line. Having survived most of the assaults without substantial damage it currently lays empty. Half finshed bugs fill the production lines, abandoned when the bombardments began. Aging signs of human presence litter the facility , yet none have returned.
The hidden figure checks his watch and pulls a small remote from his pack. He checks the area once more noting a small group of vehicles approaching from the east. He presses a series of buttons and drops the remote. Leaving it behind he works to avoid location as he departs the scene.
The military vehicles close in on the facility as the ground rocks from a tremondous explosion. The Building seems to fall in on itself. When the dust clears only a large debris filled crater remains.

As the wind whipped past Fionn's face he thought back to how he had ended up here. From the stop for fuel in MacCool and finding out that is friend Queen Red had been found and despite some injuries would recover soon enough. He had received word of this peace conference and after speaking with his wife they both were heading to it in order to try to end this destructive war. So many lives on both sides had been lost, so many were homeless and suffering. It had to end. So here he was parachuting into the location of the conference. Having to try to time his arrival with Marie's it was decided that this was more expediant than trying to land and make his way through demonstrators. He hoped Marie would not be far behind. He longed to see her once more. Their seperation due to the war had been difficult and painful. But soon they would see each other again and could try to end this conflict , bringing peace to their peoples once more. Fionn looked and saw thw ground growing larger before him. Pulling the cord he was jerked up as the Parachure in the White, Orange, and Green of Ireland opened above him. Guiding his descent to the beach , he touched down lightly and released the chute. "Sorry I'm late bit of a holdup elsewhere. Fionn MacDougal President Holy Republic of Danu."

Former Chair of the Body of Delegates, Saul Harrison sits quietly in the one room of his cottage in the country. A wind-up gramophone plays a 78rpm recording of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. There is a smell of turf smoke from the fire. The light from the paned windows casts a golden glow across the room. His thoughts are full of the hospital ship. If he could take back what he did, he thinks to himself, but it is much too late for that. He never should have sent that telegram. He looks about him, watching the fire smoulder and burn. Nothing touches him. Inside he just feels cold. Regret clasps his heart and spirit in a crushing grip.
A piece of card rests on the table next to his chair. It is bordered in black and covered in a fine handwritten script: "Forgive me for what I have done. I can make no excuses. I made a hideous mistake and now must face the consequences. I sought to do good but just paved the way for suffering. My confession is in the second drawer of my desk at the Assembly buildings. It is marked FAO: Imelda Bailey-Belvoir. My will is in order and I have cleared all the affairs of my estate. The papers are held by my lawyer Julius Flywheel. Tell my relatives that I love them, and am sorry that I had to end it all this way. Terminus est."
Time is eternal. He will not experience his own death. It will merely be an end to experience. He wishes that he could go back to that day when he sent that message, but it is too late - the days slipped though his fingers like grains of sand. The metal of his service revolver is cold against his hands. It feels strangely natural as he places the barrel in his mouth and pulls back on the trigger.
As the sound of the shot echoes around the valley flocks of white birds erupt from the trees on the slopes and take to the wing. The air is filled with the sound of their songs.

Pulling the cord he was jerked up as the Parachure in the White, Orange, and Green of Ireland opened above him. Guiding his descent to the beach , he touched down lightly and released the chute. "Sorry I'm late bit of a holdup elsewhere. Fionn MacDougal President Holy Republic of Danu."
A round of applause greeted the President as he began to wind in the ropes of his chute. The head of the Diplomatic Corps of BWO, Stanislaw Cohen, made his way through the press of bodies and bowed respectfully to the new arrival. He turned his head away and mumbled "Excuse me," as he spat to clear his mouth. "Dear Mister President MacDougal, a quite remarkable entrance. I cordially welcome you to our little meeting. There are still some arrivals scheduled for later," he continued, "We have allocated you facilities by the emissary from Vyse, King of Rogues, we trust that will be satisfactory?"
As Cohen guided the head of state of Danu to his place a caller announced: "Fionn MacDougal President Holy Republic of Danu." Meanwhile minor aides and security staff began to supervise the stowing of the green, white and gold fabric which was arrayed across the sand.
Forsyth looks on as the skydiver lands and is announced as the President of Danu. "Bloody showoff!" he mutters under his breath and goes back to refill his glass. He then heads over towards Prince Enrique. "Good Day to you Sir. I am William Forsyth of Her Majesty Queen Victoria's Government." He says as he extends his hand.

Princess Maire looked towards the blue sky as she stood on the deck of her small private ship Tir Na Nog. They were approaching Bodies Without Organs to attend the peace conference. It was time to end the disaster that had befallen her people as well as those of British Imperialism.
For a moment her thoughts strayed to her husband, Fionn. He was to be at the conference and she couldn't wait to see him. There was much work to be done and she was anxious to get to it with Fionn by her side. She stood staring at the sky and clouds, the wind whipping her hair, her thoughts drifted on and on until she saw a cloud that looked like…like the flag of Ireland. But that was impossible; the war had really taken a toll on her nerves. She quickly turned and walked to the command deck.
“This is Princess Maire of The People’s Republic of Psychik Tv requesting permission to approach Bodies Without Organs.”
She waited for a response, the crackling of static filling her ears.
The ambassadorial jet turns out to have a squadron of ten fighters of unknown specification accompanying it. Just outside Bodies Without Organs airspace, the message comes in:
"BWO air traffic control, this is the Dominion of Whispering Voices ambassadorial flight, bearing Cardinal Mattias Schmidt, requesting permission to enter flight zone."

“This is Princess Maire of The People’s Republic of Psychik Tv requesting permission to approach Bodies Without Organs.”
She waited for a response, the crackling of static filling her ears.
Cutting across the static and the gentle whine of atmospheric interference comes the message: "This is Bodies Without Organs coastal control to Tir Na Nog. Permission is granted to approach our nation. The reception has been relocated to New Tigers Bay. It will be easily found on your nautical charts. This was due to our desire to lessen any confrontations with human rights and anti-war protestors. We apologise for any inconvenience. We have dispatched a coast guard patrol vessel to your current location. It will guide you through the anti-torpedo nets and other security measures which are in place at the mouth of the bay. We are obliged to remind you that any security staff or bodyguards which are to accompany our guests must declare their weaponry - they will be searched to check the veracity of their declarations. This was Bodies Without Organs coastal control to Tir Na Nog. Over."
A small BWO coast guard patrol vessel pulls to beside the royal yacht and runs up two flags: one blue with a white square at its centre and the other the same shade with a white saltire-style cross upon it. Together they signal "FOLLOW ME".
OOC: What would be the proper spoken form of address for Princess Maire? EDITED to correct a problem with italics.

"BWO air traffic control, this is the Dominion of Whispering Voices ambassadorial flight, bearing Cardinal Mattias Schmidt, requesting permission to enter flight zone."
The radio set on the ambassadorial jet crackles back in response "This is Bodies Without Organs ATC to His Eminence's flight. Permission is granted to enter our airspace. Your escorts were unexpected but not unwelcome, we request that you enter a circular holding pattern while we dispatch a plane to assess the situation. All weapons are requested to be put off line for a period of five minutes. A craft will come within one kilometer of your flight shortly."
The flying boat Revenge Of The Lawn spots the approaching streaks and watches as they engage in a circular holding pattern, thus allowing the propeller driven Catalina to match velocities with them. Long distance cameras and image enhancement equipment flicker into life in the plane's belly. The flying boat wiggles its wings in greeting and then banks and turns away towards the ocean.
Onboard the ambassadorial jet the radio announces: "This is Bodies Without Organs ATC to His Eminence's flight. You are cleared to proceed. Weaponry may be put back on standby. You have already been informed of the regulations covering His Eminence's security staff. We are formally required to ask that you respect the neutrality of our territory. We are broadcasting details of your flight plan. You are clear to land. This was Bodies Without Organs ATC to His Eminence's flight. Over." With that the radio goes silent and an indicator light on the jet's banks of controls flashes to indicate receipt of instructions.
OOC: Apologies for the bit of G*DM*DDING that went on during this post - taking over your planes for a moment or two. If this is a problem it will be revised.
The surviving Red Tide trooper stopped and raised his hand. He was tired and hungry, and worried as to who had found him. Then, out of a group of trees came several Republican troopers. The soldiers also looked tired. The RT trooper could see the insignia on the soldiers' uniforms. They were from 9th Corp, one of the first units to invade BI.
"Who are you, and what are you ding here?", the troops demanded.
"I am a soldier of Red Tide. I am the sole survivor of a convoy. I have important information."
"All right, come with us." The soldier was lead into the trees. There, a bunker had been built. When they were inside, the Republican commander turned to the survivor. "Now, what's this information?"
Forsyth looks on as the skydiver lands and is announced as the President of Danu. "Bloody showoff!" he mutters under his breath and goes back to refill his glass. He then heads over towards Prince Enrique. "Good Day to you Sir. I am William Forsyth of Her Majesty Queen Victoria's Government." He says as he extends his hand.
"Greetings. I am Prince Enrique, Heir Apparent to the Throne of Valua, 5th Land of the Republic of Vyse. It is an honor to meet you. I wish we could have met under better circumstances. This war has cost us all too much. However, the republic is willing to place the blame on the late Lord Stewart. I wish to assure you of the fact that we will not remain in your country much longer."

Good luck on securing Ireland, do it right and leave no evil this time...
[OOC: that's fine apart from the weapons on standby bit. Protectors of the Church don't turn them off, as a rule. Obviously the Cardinal spoke nicely to them :) ]
The ambassadorial flight coasts in, the fighters choosing to stay overhead. The door is opened, and two children dressed in the attirement of choristers begin to unroll a red carpet. Anyone scanning them for weaponry can see small-arms in shoulder-holsters. Then, a huge bulky man wearing a "SchaderTek Incorporate" logo - a red cross on a black background - steps out. He looks around the area, for any sign of hostility, scanning rooftops, windows, vehicles. Seeing nothing, he calls out to his charge.
Cardinal Mattias Schmidt is an elderly man, with white hair that contrasted oddly with his rich carmine robes. Aided by one of the children, and followed by another, he walked behind the bodyguard along the plush red carpet, towards the meeting place.

Cardinal Mattias Schmidt is an elderly man, with white hair that contrasted oddly with his rich carmine robes. Aided by one of the children, and followed by another, he walked behind the bodyguard along the plush red carpet, towards the meeting place.
Security staff quickly run checks on the weaponry carried by the Cardinal's retinue. They appear satisfied. One of them tries to make a joke with the burly bodyguard, but is met with just a glower and a stoney silence.
A caller declares "His Eminence Cardinal Mattias Schmidt, emissary of the Dominion of Whispering Voices"
Stanislaw Cohen wipes his mouth with a handkerchief and bows respectfully to the Cardinal. "Ah, your Eminence, so glad you could attend. We trust you had a pleasent flight. I always think it is a magnificent view as one passes over the fjords in the twilight. We have allocated you facilities just over there, to one side of the emissiary from British Imperialism. I hope that will be satisfactory?" he says and then coughs and spits into his beaker. "Pardon me, your Eminence, the old war wound..." he continues, as he guides the Cardinal to his place. A crooked smile breaks out across his mis-shapen mouth as he sees Forsyth in conversation with Prince Enrique.
Meanwhile the band has finished playing and a conjurer has taken their place. He has failed to impress the minor staff members and hangers-on with card tricks and in desperation proceeds to the climax of his act. He hands round a small white cloth bag for the audience to examine, and then after showing that he has nothing up his sleeves, reaches in and begins to pull out silk scarves patterned with the flags of all nations. He has been pulling out the scarves for the last five minutes and only has 47,324 more flags to go before he finishes his act. All but the most easily entertained of the audience have long drifted away towards the bar and buffet.

Princess Maire set a course for New Tiger's Bay, following the two BWO patrol boats who led the way.
Once they reached the bay, Princess Maire disembarked looking for signs of strife or trouble. She instinctively touched her athame; she liked to be prepared in any situation.
Cera, her maid servant and Conner, Cera's husband and Princess Maire's bodyguard flanked either side of her as they walked down the gang plank.
General Jack Conlon followed behind Princess Maire.
Suddenly she spotted a familiar figure. For the first time since the war started she smiled a genuine smile. Her large grey eyes lit up with happiness and she ran into his waiting arms almost knocking him to the ground.
"Fionn my love, it's been so long. I've missed you," she whispered into her husband's ear.
Then, realizing that she was in public, Princess Maire composed herself and broke from his embrace.
"Let's get on with it."
They began to walk towards the reception hall.

" This is Brian Mccauley, Deputy Minister of State and Colonel Garend requesting landing instructions"
"This is Bodies Without Organs ATC. We are triangulating your position now from your transmissions... okay. We will have one of our planes rendezvous with you shortly. We request a circular holding pattern, as we believe your stall speed may be faster than the top speed of our recon plane. Please deactivate all automated target acquisition systems until given the all clear by our craft. It will approach within one kilometer of your vessel shortly. Over," comes the response from the ground.
Shortly thereafter the message continues: "We have visual contact. Our plane will conduct a quick survey of your craft, and then we should be able to give you the all clear. We respectfully request that you respect the neutrality of our territory. All security staff and members of any emissary's retinue are required to declare their weapons and will be subject to search." As these formalities are delivered the flying boat Dreaming of Babylon approaches and surveys the craft. Obviously everything appears satisfactory to its surveillance equipment as it then banks and dives away towards a large lake set behind the bay where the conference is being held.
"Lavallin craft. You are now clear to land. We are sending up flight... hang on... Clearance has not _yet_ been given. One moment. Over."
There is a pause.
"Lavallin Craft, I am required to ask whether you are carrying any cloned saurians on board your vessel. Well? Over." At the response from the plane the ATC comes back on line and continues "Roger, I will forward that information to the animal control staff. You have clearance to land. If you are able to make an aquatic landing you can follow our Catalina down. Otherwise please follow the flight plans we are now transmitting. Over."

As maritime enthusiasts point out interesting features of the newly arrived vessel's distinctive hull design, and the reunited couple embrace, Stanislaw Cohen coughs diplomatically.
Then, realizing that she was in public, Princess Maire composed herself and broke from the embrace.
"Let's get on with it."
While security staff discretely interview the visitors the announcer covertly sneaks a peek at a card concealed in his palm, takes a deep breath, and then bellows "Her Excellency, Princess Maire O'Cealleach, House of Ui Maine, People's Republic of Psychik Tv."
Cohen wipes his mouth and greets the disembarking party: "Your Excellency, a pleasure to have you safely ashore. Welcome to our little ...event, it seems to have swollen out of all proportion, originally it was just going to be a fish dinner for consular staff, and now look at it. I won't detain you as I believe that firm progress to resolve our troubles is already being made in the main hall." With that he raises an arm to guide them into the debating chamber.
As he finishes another black geometric figure is visible in the skies - the plane carrying the Lavallin representatives. Cohen watches as it arcs overhead, above the circling swarm of Whispering Voices fighters. He spits into his beaker and runs a finger around inside the tight collar of his dress shirt. He will be glad when these formalities are over and the conference can get down to brass tacks. 'Wouldn't mind getting out of this jacket, either', he thinks to himself.

Private wilson cluched his shouldered Sa80 tightly and shived agianst the cold wind as he shelterd in the gate hut. He was on sentry duty at the west gate of Refugee camp number #233 in the south east of the Nation BI.
The Camp had over 100,000 refugees in it, one of the medium sized camps. Winter was approaching fast and no one wanted to be stuck without food or shelter.
Wilson thought about sneaking into The guard house for a quick cuppa but that would proabably be the time that Sergeant Pertwee came round. And Wilson Did NOT want to get stuck with night watch two nights running.
"They never mention this in the brochure" he thought. He lent back inside the hut sighed and let the thought of a warm bed with an even warmer woman soothe him.

Fionn was overjoyed as Marie embraced him. "I've missed you as well my love." Dissapointed as she pulled from his embrace, he nontheless understood. Their reunion must wait till later. Letting loose a wistfull sigh he walked to the reception hall. As they walked his face became more stoic and his posture more rigid. He knew he must hold on for a while longer, he did not want to concern her that her energetic embrace had aggravated his healing wounds. Perhaps parachuting in wasn't the brightest thing to do with his injuries. Well he could deal with the pain if only for a time.
"So Prince Enrique , has your Goverment been able to locate the remainder of the forces Lord Stewart appropriated for his genocidal campaign? Her Majesty is most wroth with his actions. And the sooner we locate them, then the sooner this all can be ended. Don't you think so? It is rather hard for us to do so what with our communications network destroyed. It would be a shame for a rogue vessel to make a mistake and still think to continue their mission. Quite a shame."

"sadly, we have not found them in any significant numbers. However, London is constantly under attack, and patrols that we send out to the rest of the country are coming under increased fire. So, some of the Militairy leaders have come to believe that some of Stewart's forces are returning to BI, in a vain attempt to force us out. And as for finding their navy. I hate to admit it, but the Republic does not have much in the way of a Navy. Over half of it was sent to destroy the two BI fleets that had launched bio weapons, and that force suffered significant casualties. We can not afford to spread our already small navy out in an attempt to find them. Once they are found, we will send our entire Navy to deal with them. Hopefully, they will give in. There has been enough bloodshed. Speaking of which. Do you have any information on the PRA? They are a dangerous group; if they are operating in BI too much, we'll have to send in more troops to hunt them down."
"We were ambushed by BWO troops. They killed everyone. I hid from them."
"What! impossible. For one thing, BWO has declared itself nuetral in all respects. Plus their economy is in the dumps, so they couldn't afford to send in troops without causing great harm to their civilians! But, if you're correct....Specialist Thompson, call General Gregorio! We may have a situation on our hands. And tell him that it may be a good idea to prepare Operation Emperor's Hammer."
Cardinal Mattias Schmidt listens in to the conversation, clearly interested. He has not touched the buffet; indeed, neither has his bodyguard, a bulge at his side denoting an obvious pistol. His Eminence does not appear interested in speaking to anyone yet; although he watches the delegate from Vyse like a hawk.

Talking to Forsyth, Enrique motices the Cardinal staring at him. [Well, well, it appears that someone has taken an interest in me. But he hasn't joined the conversation, or eaten any food] Enrique sips his drink, and places his other hand on the hilt of his sword.[Those are not the actions of a man who wishes to enjoy himself here and arrange peace. He had better not try anything funny. Any rash actions could jeopordize the peace process.]

Sensing the nervous tension which has set in inside the debating chamber, the Head of the BWO Diplomatic Corps approaches the table and leans down upon it, he looks from Forsythe to Prince Enrique and quietly says, "If I may be so bold as to intrude for a moment here, thank you. If I was to suggest that we operate under the optimistic assumption that this meeting is able to agree terms for a ceasefire, or even the signing of treaties of peace, then to whom would the problem of rogue naval vessels devolve? It seems clear to me that they are the responsibility of the British Imperialist armed forces - other nations would not dare to attack an unidentified vessel merely because it does not respond to their hailings. Unless British Imperialist authorities are prepared to issue a full and frank disclosure of all their military holdings could anyone else begin to think about tracking down hardliners, no?"
"Instead, if the Commander-In-Chief of the British Imperialist navy, God bless her, were to issue direct commands for all BI craft to return to their bases, then all those who did not comply would be traitors to the crown, is that not correct? - they would be mutineers upon a vessel of the Queen's navy. If I am correct in my studies of British Imperialist legal practice they would be operating under threat of the death sentence, no? Legally it would not only be the responsibility, but also the duty of all loyal British Imperialist navy vessels to apprehend them. In such a case I would declare that it was British Imperialism's problem, and no one else's, unless they explicitly ask for external military aid in their task."
Stanislaw Cohen pauses and takes a breath. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand and continues: "Perhaps it would be possible to negotiate the temporary use of a different nation's satellite communication system for the duration of the current crisis? In fact, I don't think I would be betraying any confidences if I was to air the suspicion that even such an action would be surplus to requirements - our military analysts believe that the British Imperialist Navy may still be fielding (ahem) 'sufficient' numbers of adequately equipped command and control vessels to meet the challenge. No? - and also (ahem) 'sufficient' other vessesls too? There may of course be a small percentage of isolated vessels which have suffered damage to their communication equipment, however nothing is simple. But, I am sorry, ambassadors, I am speaking out of turn, I shall leave you to your parley", and with that he turns away from the table and departs to resume his duties at the reception area.
Gritting his teeth Forsyth replies"Thank you for those suggestions. I shall have to make her Majesty aware of them."
A republican helicopter suddenly approaches. When it lands, a messenger runs out and hands Enrique a document. When the messneger gets back in, the helicopter takes off again, and heads back the way it came. Enrique looks at the document for a minute, and then puts it away. He turns back to Forsyth. "So, what will you do to those who were conspiring with Stewart? I assume that you will be giving them a fair trial?"

Several miles away, an assistant passes a sheet of fax paper to the Chair of the Body of Delegates as she sits listening to security reports from the conference. She glances down at the description of a brief incident involving international traders from nations still officially at war with each other. A furrow runs across her brow. She takes off her thick glasses and polishes them on her shapeless cardigan. "Do we have anything else that might throw some light on the significance of this event?" The junior civil servant just frowns and delivers a gallic shrug in response. "Very well, maintain our current state of high alert. All the fishing fleet are to remain at their stations until I give express instructions. The civil defense forces are to continue with their preparations." She looks out at the scurrying figures of police men and women clustered around the waiting evacuation helicopter parked on the lawn outside...

OOC: A question just so we are all on the same page: are we not to hand over our weapons upon arrival in BWO?
My next IC post is contingent upon the answer to that question.
OOC: The security staff have conducted checks on all bodyguards and members of an emissarys retinue. They will have been cautioned to respect the neutral soil of the country, and to use absolute minimum force if anything untoward takes place. I am operating on the assumption that no concealed weapons were carried by members of the retinue. Our staff are operating on the assumption that actual emissaries would never dare to use any ceremonial weaponry which may constitute their outfit.
EDIT TO THIS MESSAGE: Immediately after posting I went to check and see if I had any new TGs. I had a new issue outstanding - "MORE POLICE NEEDED"... I will consult my personal seer to determine whether this is a good omen or a bad one.
A Danu craft flew low over the barren BI lands. All the suddenly several jet fighters(unknown model) swept by. The pilot was able to make out the symbol of BWO. All the suddenly the fighter turned around and shot its missiles at the plane. Moments before the missiles impacted the pilot radioed a distress message which included that he was attacked by BWO jets.

"We would not be civillized if we were to do otherwise. Their participation shall be established and justice served. Why do you ask?"
"Well, we wish to make sure that they are not just shot, like Stewart. Let's face it, many BI citizens are of the opinion that they should just be executed. But we need to make a proper example of these monsters. They must be punished by a court of law, or else they will be called martyrs by those who wish to do the same as they did. Stewart, for instance, may one day be held up as a shining example by those who wish to cause chaos, because we never were able to truly prove that he was a monstrosity. We want to limit that effect."
I just spotted this thread and it looks like there is a threat to the Irish people. Since the majority of the population of my country are Irish I would like to assist. If any of you would be kind enough to give me a situation report you would have my gratitude. I do not have time as the leader of my country to read a 25 page report.

I just spotted this thread and it looks like there is a threat to the Irish people. Since the majority of the population of my country are Irish I would like to assist. If any of you would be kind enough to give me a situation report you would have my gratitude. I do not have time as the leader of my country to read a 25 page report.
Field Marshall O'Connor
No Retreat, No Surrender
BWO Diplomatic staff issue the following dispatch: We are sure that as the leader of an armed nation, O'Connor will understand the importance of military intelligence. Is it not stressed time and again that the three most important things in war are "recon", "recon" and "recon"? We laugh along with your respected Field Marshall for his little joke...
OOC: reading over that it seems kind of harsh. no offense intended. a brief summary appears on page 22. it is not to be trusted as in any way comprehensive or correct. EDIT page 21 not 22.

Field Marshall O'Connor
No Retreat, No Surrender
I hate to break it to you, but your too late. We're kind of starting the peace process at this meeting. Basically, the man supposedly in charge of the BI 'genocide army' has been killed, London is under my control, most other anti-BI countries just looted the place and went home, and things are calming down generally. there are still rogue BI forces on the move, but it appears that peace has finally come. However, something might happen to change that. Check back here in about 4 days RL. If no major fighting has happened by then, you might as well give up and go home.
OOC:But dont forget I am raiding convoys with soldiers dressed likee BWO troops
Meanwhile, back in London, in the army headquarters.
"General Gregorio, our radar just picked up a dogfight between a Red Tide plane and several fighters. The RT pilot sent out a final message before he was killed. He said that it was BWO."
"What the hell is going on!?! It doesn't matter, we've got enough on our hands. We can figure this one out later. And have the RT trooper we found shipped back to Soltis. He'll be safe there."
[Out at the front lines of the London defenses]
PFC Joe Buckley was very nervous. For one thing, he was in a war zone, and he was in 12th Corp. 12th Corp had shown up after the battle of London, and hadn't seen any action; so Buckley was still a newbie. Plus, since the death of Lord Stewart, attacks on the London defenses had increased dramatically. This stretch of the line hadn't been hit yet, but how long could that last? And, to top it all off, he was in THE front line. Nothing in front but a forest, and about 50 yards of dirt and barbed wire. A company would stay one week in the front line, then be sent back to London itself, to begin the process of slowly moving forward once again. Buckley's company, the 555th, hadn't been up front before. But, the good news was only two more days before they went back to London. For defenses, there were trenches for the regular soldiers, while the RPGs and the machine guns were place in two large bunkers. To gaurd against enemy armor, two M1 Abrams tanks were hull down, one on either side of the company's sector.
Then Buckley heard a loud noise. It took him a while to recognize the engine noise of several Bradley fighting vehicles; about five seconds after he figured out what that ment, 5 Bradleys roared out of the forest, escorted by 6 humvees and a few APCs. A gunner on one of the Bradleys gave a battle cry. "For Lord Stewart!" At this, Buckley's CO rushed out of the bunker he had been in. "Open fire!" The captain may have been just as green as the rest of his company, but he knew what to do. "Focus on the Humvees, then take out the rest!" The Humvees drove up first, their gunners raking the trenches with fire. However, two of them were destroyed by RPGs, and the rest took enough fire that all the occupants were killed. The Bradleys then drove up, braking to a stop. Buckley saw the troop doors in the back beginning to open. Then, one of the Abram tanks woke up. Before a single trooper could exit it, the Bradley nearest the tank was blown apart by a heat round. But, then enemy troops began to pour out of the surviving Bradleys. One of them was carrying an anti-tank rocket launcher. The soldier fired his weapon, putting the missile right inder the turret of the tank that had killed his comrades. Buckley took aim, and shot the launcher carrying soldier three times, and then looked at the tank. The top had been blown off; it was obvious that there were no survivors. The other tank took out two more Bradleys before it too was destroyed by an anti-tank weapon. However, most of the troops inside the Bradleys had already gotten out. The fire from Buckley's company had the troops from the Bradleys pinned down, but then the troops from the APCs arrived. They had used the time that the Bradleys had bought them to deploy unharrased. What Buckley saw made his blood run cold. They all had bayonets affixed to their rifles. "Captain, they're gonna try for hand-to-hand!" "I see 'em! All troops, get out your bayon-" When the captain stopped talking, Buckley turned to look at him. The captain was already on the ground, a bullet hole in his throat. Then, the enemy charged. Buckley pulled out a grenade, and hurled it at the enemy. It detonated, taking out three of the attackers. Then, one of them got to him. Buckley hadn't had time to get his bayonet, so when the trooper lunged at him, he simply side-stepped and swung the butt of his M-16 into his enemy's skull. For the next five minutes, Buckley just fought to stay alive. But eventually he found himself leading a small group of privates on a counterattack against some BI trooperts who had captured a machine gun nest. His makeshift squad somehow managed to recapture the nest, and held out there; however, they were running out of ammo. Buckley was considering ordering his men to retreat. Then he heard another battle cry. "For the Republic!" The company behind the 555th had finally arrived. With the reinforcements, the BI soldiers were all either killed or captured. None tried to run. Buckley walked around his company's sector. One of the bunkers had been destroyed by an enemy missile, and it seemed that over half of the 555th was gone. But they had won. "Well, I officially never want to do that again."
For leading the group of privates, and for recapturing the nest, which would have been a major blow to the comapany, PFC Joe Buckley was promoted to Sergeant.
OOC: It wasnt one of my planes it was one of Danu's planes. I believe I stated that in the post.

Private wilson cluched his shouldered Sa80 tightly and shived agianst the cold wind as he shelterd in the gate hut. He was on sentry duty at the west gate of Refugee camp number #233 in the south east of the Nation BI.
The Camp had over 100,000 refugees in it, one of the medium sized camps. Winter was approaching fast and no one wanted to be stuck without food or shelter.
Wilson thought about sneaking into The guard house for a quick cuppa but that would proabably be the time that Sergeant Pertwee came round. And Wilson Did NOT want to get stuck with night watch two nights running.
"They never mention this in the brochure" he thought. He lent back inside the hut sighed and let the thought of a warm bed with an even warmer woman soothe him.
0200 EST
Pvt wilson noticed the figure coming in from the storm covered in a blanket with most of it over his features.
"Another refugee" wilson thought
"no...two"
The second refugee wasn't covering her features, and showed off a beatuful main of blonde hair. she was in her early twenties
"Better help out" he said
Exiting from his hut, he jogged over to the refugees
"you ok sir?, would you like a hand getting inside?" he inquired
not taking his eyes off the blonde woman
"no, i'll be alright"
The man repiled with out uncovering his face, In an almost posh accent.
Wilson reached into his pocket and pulled out a sheet of paper,
"On behalf of the peoples of bodies without organs and British Commonwealth, we will help to Rebuild your country" wilson said aloud
"You'll need to register at the office, its through the gate and two buildings down" he said
The Man repiled
"Thank you Private"
The woman smiled at wilson and the pair head inside the camp.
once inside the hulstle and bustle of the camp, Lord stewart uncoverd his face and his bodyguard kess's features hardern.

That depends on your definition of 'over'. It's over in that no ore major battles are happening, and in that no more missiles are being launched. It's not over in that there are still many BI troops that are active, but they are mainly in small, incoherent groups. Battles like the 555th incident are basically attempts to wear my troops down. And yes, you and just about everybody else, except for a few countries, up and left after looting and kidnapping several BI civilians.
A Danu craft flew low over the barren BI lands. All the suddenly several jet fighters(unknown model) swept by. The pilot was able to make out the symbol of BWO. All the suddenly the fighter turned around and shot its missiles at the plane. Moments before the missiles impacted the pilot radioed a distress message which included that he was attacked by BWO jets.
CVG Redhand, Irish Sea miles from the British Imperialism coast:
An ensign sits at the radar display in the bridge. The communications officer rushes over to his location. "What the feck is going on? I just got a mayday from one of our AWACs and then lost contact." The ensign studies his radar screen and pulls up info from the alst few minutes. "What did they say, I don't show anything before I lost our plane off radar." " SOmethng about missiles and BWO fighters." " ALert the captain theat we have hostiles over BI, probable stealth, and they have already downed one plane." "Right, keep an eye out and see if you can find anything."
Captain Rourke sits behind his desk sorting the reports from the occupation of BI glad int he fact that Danu is merely aiding with supplies and recon support. The distressed communications offficer enters and hands him the report. He looks up with a surprised expresssion. "Get messages to all aliies in BI and inform them of this incident, let them know of hostiles and that they are sporting BWO insignia. We are nae goign to be assinging blame before BWO has a chance to react. Send a coded message to their forces and inform them of the situation. I aslo want a squadron of fighters with every AWACs sent out. Defense only no attack. Understood?" Aye Sir!" " And Lt. you had better sned a coded message to fleet command and make sure they inform the President of this. Something strange is afoot and he should be careful." "Aye Sir!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile outside the reception room in BWO,
Fionns cellphone rings"Pardon me for a monment while I get this." Walking a few steps away"This is Fionn, talk to me..............What?....
......Are you sure?............................Of course..............Defintiely....
......Yes of course send 3 if you must. I shall inform our hosts of the new additions. Keep me informed. Thank you." Fionn pockets his phone and walks back over to the group. "My appologies but an incident has taken place rather recently that is cause for some concern. My staff feels that my bodyguards should be present and tehy will be arrivng shortly. I do hope this shall not delay things too greatly? "To the nearest BWO representative"There has been an incident that I need to speak with your representative about ASAP. Something strange is goign on."
The sniper stood on the hill. His rifle slung over his shoulde. Unslinging his rifle hhe kneeled down and raised it pointing it at a certain Rogues soldier.
"Gotcha"
The soldiers head exploded like a water melon. The last thing his fellow soldiers saw were soldiers in BWO uniforms jump out of the bushes and spray them with machinegun fire.
In London.
Alarms are going off in the Republican headquarters. Apparently, the attack on the 555th was jsut the beginning. Over the past hour, there had been 13 attacks on variuos parts of the front line. The attackers were always either destroyed or forced to retreat, but still, things weren't looking good. Also, the patrols that were sent out at the beginning of the day have come under heavy fire. One patrol of Bradleys was ambushed and wiped out. And then there was the reports of BWO units on the attack.
"Specialist!"
"Yes sir?"
"Send a message to Enrique. He needs to ask the BWO delgation about this. And send another message to the RMC. We're going to need more troops if this keeps getting worse."

Humm.... who got Killed :P :P
A Rogue Bradley took its usual patrol route that morning. It was accompinied by a couple of infantry. All the suddenly a T-34 tank with the BWO insignia roared out of the forest. Before anybody could react the tank mowed the infantry down with its machine gun. Then the tank fired a HEAT(High Explosive Anti Tank). The Bradley EXPLODED into a mass of flaming metal. The tanks slowly backed into the forest.

In North sea... In the CBG sitution room... The admiral in charge reads a message... turning to an aide "Order the group to Condition red, launch the ready 5's, and Prepare an extraction group in case we must go in and pull out our people and our allies representives"
Thinking... picks up a red phone... talks into it, yes sir somethings going on, Yes I recommend we have the Stealth Wing up and ready, no sir I think I have enough at this time in case theres hostilities with the Three Carriers in this group we should be able to handle anything non-nuclear, yes sir I understand the 2nd Fleet will Move out with its 3 Carriers in case it is bigger then I can handle to provide Me with Backup, but at this time I think sir, that we don't know exactly what is going on.. My ideas Sir? Well it might be hold out BI people trying to upset the preliminary peace talks by making it look like BWO is a threat, we still don't have enough data sir to be definite.
Yes sir, i understand... Puts down red phone.... seems thoughtful..

Lieutenant Mattews let out out a small yawn and he' looked out amongest the roaded valley His convey were passing through. Four trucks, 8 Men and a load of food and medicine for the refugees.
Boring routine As always.
'cheer up sir it might never happen' Coporal Anderson said with a grin.
as the Truck rattled along
'It already ha...what the hell?' Mattews shouted.
Dead ahead at the end of the valley a small Road block was set up. manned by Soldiers in Bodies without Organs uniforms.
The convoy stopped.
'Radio in to HQ' Mattews said to ANderson, opening the side door and grabbing his Sa80.
'Tell Pvt Sanderson to meet me at the road block' He Went on.
Slamming the cab door
Sanderson Saluted and they both marched to the road Block.
What is the meaning of this?' Mattews Shouted
'I thought this was British Commonwealth Sector.....'
'Shit..Ambush' Mattews thought
as atomatic Weapons fire erupted and the lead truck Exploded.
The BWO troops took out RPGs and began to shoot at the convoy. Soon a T-34 tank with the BWO insignia drove into the battle.
In the meantime a BI village was being hit. Katiushas(World War 2 Rocket Launchers) With the BWO insignia had leveled this peacefull village.
NO. Its in BI.
Ok pal. You wanna dance? You've made a mistake. You've chosen to dance with the devil.

Sure, the company attacked took heavy casualties. But the attackers obviuosly were stupid. they apparently failed to notice the two tanks stationed with the company, as well as the two bunkers, with 3 machine guns apiece. And, the two company sectors to either side of the stricken one saw the attackers too. Now, they saw the BWO uniforms. But is that gonna stop them? Hell no. Let's put it this way. The poor fools who dared to attack had about ten seconds of life after they opened fire. The combined fire of two full strength companies, as well as the fire from the tanks and the bunkers, tore the enemy apart. Two of the enemy were captured. Because they were supposed to be nuetral (there uniforms say so) they were cleared for FULL debrief. That includes torture. We can be very nice to enemies who declare war-the continued good health of the BI POWs is proof of that-but for guys like this, no mercy.
OOC: And as to the destruction of that Bradley patrol-I IGNORE IT! YOU CAN NOT DECLARE MY STINKIN CASUALTIES, FOR ONE THING! FOR ANOTHER, MY PATROLS CONSIST OF A WHOLE COMPANY! ACCORDING TO RECENT INTEL, THERE ARE 60 DIVISIONS OF BI TROOPS OUT THERE! YOU THINK I'D SEND OUT A SINGLE BRADLEY WITH THAT MANY ENEMIES OUT THERE! Oh, and start praying pal. YOU'll BEAT ME WHEN THERE'S SNOWBOARDING IN HELL!
:gulps.... well didnt notice that fact(thank god for fanatical troops).. But you think I wouldnt take percautions incase a trooper gets captured eh?
IC:"Sir... 2 of our raiders were captured... Should I initiate plan H."
"Yes Captian. Do so"
The captian promptly pulled out a remote control and pressed a button. The dynimite in the 2 captives went off.
Well, well, well. Suicide bombs. You forgot one small fact. Your soldier that ran into our arms. He's already been.....operated on. Hello Red Tide. Like to dress up like BWO troops uh? :twisted: It's time to dance with the devil, pal. :twisted:

The people of the Free Republic of Northern Irish Freedom respectfully decline any/all invitation(s) to take part in any/all so-called "peace conference(s)."
War has taught us many things indeed, but this war was paid for by more lives lost, more civilian bloodshed than ever before. What have we learned? There will never be "peace" as long as the Irish are persecuted and hated by a country unwilling to leave an island still visible from their own shores ALONE and to our own God-given rights to freedom, self-government, and self-reliant happiness. If America can suffer only 300 years before finally winning her own independence, then Ireland's glorious victory after one thousand years of deliberate rape, incest, and torture will be felt like the righteous might of heaven itself!
You've called down the thunder... PREPARE FOR THE BOOM! It's time to ride the lightning...
