So Basically you are all for Whispering Voices violating people? We allowed them to search our ship. WE even went further and said they could pat down our people to check to see if they had any weapons on themselves. But no that wasn't enough for them. They had the audacious plan to do body cavity searches on our people to make sure they didn't have any weapons hidden up the ass. How sick do you really think we are? Next the tried to get us to make our people take a highly radioactiv e isotope that had the high probability that it would harm or even kill our troops in the long run. We have made our silos ready in the event that Whispering Voices launched an attack against Indra Prime. We have no desire to launch a nulcear preemptive strike against anyone. As we have said many times before, we are dedicated to peace. But in being so, that doesn't make us any less militarily strong. WE have allowed our ship to be searched. We have allowed our people to be searched (the outside of the person, not the inside). We even recalled our Battle Fleet when you requested it. And in return all we get is threats and the offer to use dangerous isotopes? I don't think so. Whispering Voices is going to have to meet us part way.

As for your facility in Northern England, We have been monitoring it with satellite monitoring systems. We can see that there is a facility there and that there is a tremendous amount of heat radiating from it. We know from Intelligence that it is not anything normal like a processing plant. The other nations support you because they do not know what it is you do. That however can be easily changed.

<Transmission to Indra Prime, CCed to anyone who cares>

Obviously Indra Prime never bothered to clamp down on drugs smugglers or arms dealers, then, because people will store things anywhere they can possibly fit to try to smuggle them through customs. Body cavity searches are hardly audacious.

And we don't have any facilities in Northern England that give off immense amounts of heat, certainly not more than could be seen coming from - say - a power plant, or a factory.

Ditch the bong and sing the song.

Study your medical dossier, admiral. Such isotopes are regular materials for use in medical examinations, likewise body cavity searches are fairly simple occurances that soldiers should be more than capable of surviving.

I understand your objections, but must re-iterate that if you have nothing to hide then the search will find nothing and I'm, sure Whispering Voices will appologise for the inconvenience and suspicion.
These are, after all, tense times: please bear in mind that your increased resistance continues to suggest that you have illicit cargo stored in the... location you are protecting.

Neither your manhood, nor sexuality are brought into question by submitting to such a search.

With a look of disgust, Benett agrees to have the peacekeepers searched for illegal weapons, to the dismay of the platoon leader. Benett to the platoon leader quietly," Look, you and I both know the true objective of our mission. There will have to be some small sacrifices on your team's part. I did all I could in attempting to prevent this from occuring to save face for you and your team. You and I both know that you or your team for tham matter are not concealing any weapons any where. But in any case they will have to search you and your team. I'm sorry Commander."

"I don't like this admiral. I really don't. If they are attempting to poison us..."

"Commander, If we find out that they have poisoned you in any form or fashion, then we will consider that an act of war against Indra Prime, and we would retaliate in full force using every thing we have including our allies."

"Yes, sir."

<Transmission>

Excuse me? You wait for our fiefdom's inspection team to leave and then demand that they return to do the tests you complained about so much in the first place?

We don't have time to mess around, Admiral.

Fine. We will remove our people from your lands without your approval. Fine by me. We offered to undergo the tests, you refuse. Now you are going to have to deal with what is to come.

Six Hours Later

At Midnight on the moonless night, The IPS Singularity pulls anchor and begins to move out of Devil's Desert Waters. However, unnoticed by all parties a small stealth boat detaches from the hull of the Singularity and quietly approaches the mainland. When the boat reached the shore, the hatch opened up and the Phoenix team emerged in full Battle Gear. They quietly pulled all their gear off the boat and the boat pilot pulled away from the shore and quietly submerged the ship until it was resting on the bottom of the Bay and deactivated each of the ships systems one by one. When he got to the self contained life support the sub/boat sported, he readied his own breathing apparatus and shut the last system down that had the potential of giving their position away.

The Commander watched the ship submerge and then orderes his men to the rendevous point that the Indra Prime Special Operations Center had arranged with the trapped soldiers and spies.

I'm off to work now, so can't post in depth - but your boat is not unnoticed by any means, not after all of the monitoring things I posted.

The combination of the MySpy satellites designed specially for ocean penetration, the submarines already stated to be watching the Singularity, and the Warm Nights, the highly advanced scientific support and analysis ship in the area, running their full sensor checks including geoidal updates, easily spot the "stealth" submarine. Fortunately, they don't rely on sonar alone, instead using a whole array of sensor technology including tiny remote graded motion detectors scattered (looking like fish) throughout the water.

******************************************************************

Captain Jiare Mehain of the Trahim watched as his HUD displayed the outlined picture of the Indra Prime vessel head into British waters, and then the satellite focused in on the team as they disembarked.

"Right. They're a little to the south of where we predicted, Trahim, so we must needs intercept. Fortunately they did not attempt to displace themselves and increase their travel time, da. Let us go."

The Trahim special century - one hundred strong - splits up. The majority zip along in the fast VAB APCs, to shadow at a long distance the Indra Prime group on their current trajectory inland. The rest head in to cut off the Indra Prime from their vessel. Terrain was used, so troop-portable ADARS could not track the forces.

"Our orders are to trail them. Our satellites are picking up movement of unauthorised assets heading to meet the Indra Prime group also. We will attempt to capture them alive, but kill if necessary. We have total satellite supremacy over the area at the moment, unless one of the 32 Irish satellites is just managing to catch Britain on a wide angle and relaying the data to Indra Prime."

******************************************************************

The Murderous Tendencies expedition kept a watchful eye on the Indra Prime fleet, preparing for war. Ten frigates had a different mission however - they prepared to destroy the Indra Prime stealth submarine if it moved.

Pause, before we get another argument.
Lavallin, it is possible that you have satellites in orbit. This does not mean that WV cannot have satellites there too. You get info from yours. He gets info from his and his were watching the IPS Singularity like hawks.
If you want, you can see that Indra Prime is violating the cease-fire, too, and send in on to anyone you want. :)

Whispering Voices, I recall you saying that you were moving satellites into the area, but if someone missed it then they haven't posted damage i.e. not lost any satellites... can we say that you have the killer satellites there, but are holding off using them until diplomacy genuinely breaks down? It is logical and consistent with the majority of what has been declaired.

Hopefully that will be acceptable and we'll actually be able to move forward without this descending into an OOC argument. Any objections?

OOC update: After the inital confrontation between British Imperialism and Irish territories a cease fire was brokered with the assistance of Indra Prime and Bodies Without Organs. Shortly thereafter, BWO turned all diplomatic control over to Indra Prime in which we helped with the cease fire. There was a peace conference in Tigers Bay in BWO that was attacked by some unknown force with a 200 megaton nuclear weapon. multiple envoys were killed including the delegate from Indra Prime. We sent people into British Imperialism to monitor the reconstruction efforts as they progressed under the control of Whispering Voices and Murderous Tendencies. Tensions began to grow when Indra Prime intelligence recieved word that unauthorized activities were taking place in BI. Shortly after we recieved that information Whispering Voices shut down the borders to all outside involvement, effectively trapping our people behing enemy lines. When we attempted to negotiate to allow one of our ships to the BI coast they refused uder their own paranoia. We grew tired of waiting and the extra risk our people were taking just to survive so we sent in our Elite Special Forces team to recover our people and to evac them to the extraction point. Now satellites indicate that our team is being followed by a large group with what appear to be hostile intentions toward our team.

We didn't broker the ceasfire: it occured naturally. As far as turning over all diplomatic control... we merely pointed out that we were not in charge of the relief operation in BI, and that it seemed an open field if IP wanted to take it on.

There was a peace conference in Tigers Bay in BWO that was attacked by some unknown force with a 200 megaton nuclear weapon. Multiple envoys were killed including the delegate from Indra Prime.


New Tiger's Bay (an isolated conference centre in BWO).

200 kiloton warheads. Four were launched. One detonated.

We don't believe BWO was the prime target, instead we believe that foreign nationals attending the conference were the intended victims. The only heads of delegations to lose their lives were IP ones. About 5,000 BWO citizens lost their lives

OOC: You need re-read whole messages, in there is a bit on killer satellites of my own that destroyed BI satellites...and mention of SDI so it should been obvious I had a civilian and Military satellite presence.

Also since 32Cir and BI if using R/L maps? are close... any Satellites of Lavallin would be covering 32cir, British Islands and perhaps france and Germany..


IC: Lavallin has civilian and military satellites worldwide, pretty cluttered up there..

If you actually attacked Lavallins satellites we would be at war, I did state any attack on SDI and such would be seen as a prelude to a 1st strike nuke attack and Lavallin would go all out war.

I'm not aware that any nation owns SPACE only up to the atmos but Space itself is international so killer satellite shooting Lavallins satellites would be an attack on lavallin... you really wish to go there?

OOC:
To be perfectly honest, the thought of war either country vs country or region vs region scarcely fills me with terror ^_^ And I'm well aware that a calculated attack on one country's military assets is - for the most part - considered to be a hostile act.

I'd also like to give a rundown of events from my point of view, now Indra Prime's given his.

Seeing that British Imperialism fights a good war, and then loses to lunacy like genetically engineered velociraptors that "smell the Irish gene", I (somewhat belatedly) decided to get involved in the peace process - figuring peace was around the corner anyway, and hoping to leave his country with - well - something. Having a somewhat "gunboat diplomacy" attitude to negotiations, due to my country's past success in wars and its extreme military, this resulted in lots of uncomfortable face offs. Eventually the negotiations reached a point where things were almost over, until a nuke hit the peace conference, killing some people (including the Indra Prime delegates - who turned up there even later than I did).

Subsequent to that attack, I felt entirely justified in having my fiefdom of Murderous Tendencies "lock down" British Imperialism (by then absorbed into my region, and therefore worthy of military protection), help Vyse and the British Commonwealth root out the remnants of the renegade British, and then help to rebuild the country and put the Queen firmly back in power. The current difficulties started when Indra Prime demanded to be let in to recover some of his troops. He turned up with an entire fleet. It's the policy of the Devils Desert region to treat any attempt to enter forces into the region without permission as an act of war, and eventually he was dissuaded. However, he refused to let Murderous Tendencies pick up his troops and escort them out; and, when eventually I was persuaded to let his troops in after I inspected them, he refused to let the so-called "peace keepers" be thoroughly searched. Between mad threats of nuclear strikes against British Imperialism (presumably unaware that this would kill the special forces he was so desperate to save) and attempts to bully his way in, he eventually got so obnoxious I simply gave up and said "sod it" and refused him entry since I couldn't be bothered to argue for days about whether I should be able to search secretive "peacekeepers" entering a nation with a delicate balance of peace.

This resulted in him deploying troops "stealthily" to British Imperialism, after I had taken precautions to stop such.

OOC: None of this would have happened if you had allowed me to enter and reclaim our people. The fault is entirely yours. We came a long way in negotiations and you refused, flatly refused to give any leeway to us. That is what caused us to take these measures. So whatever happens this is entirely due to your inflexibility. Do not attempt to attack or capture our forces we will show you our true might. It would be in your best interest if you allow our people to do what they are ordered to do.

Both diplomatically, militarily, and logically it would have been idiocy to let anyone who threatens nuclear war at the drop of a hat in. I gave leeway when I agreed to let you in after a thorough search. Hardly my fault your troops are scared to go through standard airport procedures.

Unknown officer to an unknown general

"Sir, you may want to take a look at this."

"What the hell is going on over there? It looks like the third through the eighth fleets of Indra Prime have set sail. This conflict must really be important to them."

"Sir, thats not all. There are massive reinforcements arriving from the southwest. Current estimates are up to 50 Aircraft Carriers and other defensive ships."

"What is going on over there. Get on the horn with the General. Let him know what we are seeing."
18-09-2003, 18:03
Sheikh Azi Ahoban watched impassively at reports of fleet mobilisations.
And then gave the order.

"Bring them in."

***************************************

The Trahim forces surrounding the Indra Prime special operatives and those they were attempting to meet moved to close the trap. Guided by the ARES system, they stalked to within firing range, every gun covering the cranial pan of a potential enemy with perfect accuracy.

The Indra Prime forces, presumably knowing they were trapped, had time to get into cover if they so chose - but they were outnumbered close to fifteen to one.

As the dawn touched the sea to the east of British Imperialism, the call went out.

"Soldiers of Indra Prime, surrender now or be fired upon. You have five seconds."

At the first sign of a shot, or a hostile move, the Trahim would open fire with the same accuracy displayed in their movement through Liverpool - except this time, they would be pulling no punches.

<Transmission to all nations involved>

Satellite imagery, thermal overlaid with sharpened optics from the troops on the ground, is displayed live of the Indra Prime special forces attempting to infiltrate British Imperialism, and the people they were meant to liaise with. Cardinal Matthias' voice, recognisable from the peace conference, overlays it.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the communities of the Devils Desert and of the 32 country Irish nation, you see here a deliberate attempt by Indra Prime to breach Devils Desert regional security, in order to complete a mission that had previously been denied due to their refusals to submit to simple tests to ensure that they were intending no foul play. As you will see as events unfold, our fiefdom is giving them every chance to surrender and lay down their arms, in which event both the spies and those they are rendezvousing with will be held for questioning and dealt with as is seen fit. If they refuse to surrender, they will be taken down with all appropriate force, including lethal."

Cuts to fed satellite images of Indra Prime mobilisation from non-geosynchronous satellites

"As you can see here, Indra Prime is clearly mobilising for war - attempting to end all of the hard work of Bodies Without Organs. We tried repeatedly to work out ways to let them remove their people within the borders of British Imperialism - an escort, doing it ourselves guaranteeing their safety and delivering them to Indra Prime intact, a multi-national task team - however, they refused all of these. When eventually we offered just to trail them after we checked their "peacekeepers" out to make sure they weren't trying to take something illegal onto the British mainland, they agreed then refused when they saw we were attempting to make thorough tests."

"Now, ladies and gentlemen. Who here is the warmongerer? Whispering Voices, attempting to work on a peaceful solution, co-operating with Vyse King of Rogues in work on London, and merely trying to ensure British security at a time of great stress - or Indra Prime, refusing to work with us to extract "agents" of unknown purpose or identity, even when it means they would rather go to war than reveal the faces of a handful of people to a nation that didn't really care about them either way?"

Cuts back to the Murderous Tendencies expeditions. They are huge. The satellite pictures don't encompass the entirety even of one expedition, but it can be seen to contain over ten small carriers and many small frigates and destroyers

"The answer, of course, is that Indra Prime are the warmongerers. However, do not think us unprepared. We would now like to reassure the Irish nation that, unless any of its members become involved assisting Indra Prime, we have no hostile intentions towards them. That is all."


OOC:
As stated since the Tahar Joblis incident ages ago, Bisons - to me - is a big big crater, where not even cockroaches go to die. Mainly due to his massive previous godmoddery, his inability to RP, and his refusal to die. Ever.

Therefore, don't expect me to bother to interact in any way, shape, or form, with Dark Terror, or for me to actually acknowledge his existence within the Devils Desert region. I don't speak for the rest of the region, but I'm sure that the few who have heard of him feel the same way.

I really hope he wasn't your ally, Indra Prime. Or at least that you weren't relying on him.
Indra Prime
18-09-2003, 20:32
Any attempts to capture, or kill our troops will result in a retaliatory attack against Whispering Voices. These tests you proposed would have seriously jeopardized the lives of our people, of course we would not accept those terms. We agreed to the search of our ship, the Singularity, which you took advantage of and you yourself said you found nothing aboard her. Then you changed the agreement we had made of the inspection of the ship to also include searching the interiors of our crew in an attempt to invade their privacy. You also changed the agreement to make them ingest a highly toxic radioactive isotope to check if they had any biological contaminates. You should know that since your nation has a large navy, that the crew has to undergo many tests to make sure they are fit to serve aboard ships especially in times of war. And we offered to show to you our medical records to prove that we did not have any biological contaminants but YOU refused. We would not allow you to poison our people and we sure as hell would not allow your people to bring in our personnel as they have very important information regarding you and your supposed reconstruction efforts in BI. So don't blame us for what we are acting in defense of. Our ships are currently in International Waters so any hostile acts against them would be considered an agressive act and would be declared as an act of war.

OOC: And if you do in fact attempt to ignore Dark Terror or the rest of our allies approaching in the satellite feeds then I will just have to ignore your troops that are supposedly marching toward our people and your fleet that is going to head of my own. The rules of war do not allow the ignorance of and enemy's allies or their strength. If you do so however, then you are basically giving us the right to walk right past your "soldiers" and ingore anythign you say regarding that fact.
Indra Prime
18-09-2003, 20:37
And please note: If you had given us access to the coast of British Imperialism in the first place, our ship would have been out of Devil's Desert Waters in less than 24 hours so the possiblity of any contamination (which there wouldn't have been) would have been next to nothing. We would have had our people out of there and you would not have had to deal with this situation we are now in. If you grant us to send the Singularity back in for 24 hours back to the coast then we wil withdraw all our ships and we will extract our people from the British Imperialism and you will never have to deal with this situation again. Dark Terror is only one of our allies. We have many more giving us ships and supplies and they are much larger than you can handle. Our offer is on the table as long as you make no hostile moves towards ANY of our people.

OOC My turn with the story-o...
We in the DD get a request from WV, to let BI join the region, as he is good RPer and under attack. Incidentally activating the regional mutual defence treaty. We considered this to be a bit of a fiddle, but extended political credit to WV, especially because BI had the nuts to actually lose a war. And most notably because we know about WV's tendency for gunboat diplomacy and wanted to make this an actually peacefull conclusion.

Conclusions were being reached about a terror group responsible for the war and a peace solution was neared when the place got whacked with the afforementioned nuke. Since then, WV has gone on alert and IP has been winging about what we can and cannot do, despite the fact we are going ahead and doing it.
Hopefully the revised venue peace conference will happen before the shooting does and random bozos like Dark Terror get involved. 50 carrier groups my arse.

IC
Trevelyan looks down at the transcripts from the various communiques and sighs. He then looks at the assembled staff he has with him on the Isle of Man and clears his throat "For any of you who didn't get the emphasis... *sigh*. Right. Time for a transmission of unprecedented dynamism and rudeness."

<To all involved in this rapidy supidifying situation>
Indra Prime. You threatened, you shouted, you ranted and then you demanded entry. You refused to comply with reasonable searches, raising suspicions of your motives... then launched special forces from your vessel confirming those suspicions. We don't even have proof that you have men on the British mainland, frankly this could just have been a ruse to get them there.
As for whether or not we can fire on your men I assure you that we can. Whether or not forces will, is entirely a matter of how such a meeting takes place. For example on soil under our protection, unannounced, in the middle of the night and actively resisting... well, maybe we will. Whatever you choose to do about it is your own affair and not on _our_ conciences. Your government has acted like a band of unmitigated pricks in this matter and its no good pretending that anyone believes you were 'forced' to attempt a brutal conquest of Britain.

Dark Terror. You are neither dark, nor terrifying. You are ignorant and foolish: Go away.

Whispering Voices, if they surrender, give them back to him without their toys... if they don't, we'll back you in defence of the region. Which includes against idiots deploying special forces in the most obvious way possible.

Danu, Bodies Without Organs, Northern Irish Freedom... Lavallin, even. Can you not see that Indra Prime is seeking to cause a conflict that could spiral out of control? That warmongering nation is trying to light a spark that will force you to aid him, even though I know you don't want this war any more than I do. For that matter, the nuclear attack on New Tiger Bay seems to have been an awefully convenient occurance for him... especially as his ships were on hand to sink any evidence about who was behind it!
Be reasonable and bring your wayward companion to heel. If he really wants people back from Britain, I would go there and get them out myself if it would secure peace. With representatives of as many of you as choose to send them. Guaranteed cavity-search-free offer.

You're a stuck record, Indra Prime. You keep attempting to justify your right to smuggle people onto British Imperialism, when you don't have one. I suggest you produce evidence of our 'facilities' within British Imperialism, or stay quiet. You're just too arrogant to know when to leave well alone. Now your men pay the price of your arrogance.

Retaliate away, children. Our defences are more than ready.


OOC:

I don't give a toss if Dark Terror is your ally. I ignored Bisons a long time ago, for a completely seperate incident. Perhaps you should have bothered to check his credibility - or complete lack of it - before you cried to him for assistance. I've given you no reason to ignore me - if you're going to do that, just leave the thread and go play elsewhere ;) On the other hand, Bisons has given most of the right-minded players of Nationstates many good reasons to completely ignore him.

You can have his troops, if you want. There may be just one little radioactive cockroach that just got born near the Bisonic crater.

So, your choice:
1) Ignore me/us, leave thread.
2) Accept Bisons is ignored for very good OOC reasons, and continue.

Oh, and Murderous Tendencies hasn't built any nefarious facilities in British Imperialism.

The Indra Prime forces and those they were rendezvousing with, having resisted arrest during the act of spying, are promptly shot with bullets guided by the ARES system straight into exposed spots in the armour, and the head. Under the covering fire, canisters of knockout gas are launched, in the hopes of generating at least a few survivors.

Arrow III launchers prepare for an assault, and in the Heavens above, defence satellites prepare to shoot down any ICBM launches or cruise missiles whilst killer satellites attack Indra Prime's satellites, launching guided warheads in massive flurries.

The Murderous Tendencies ground forces - by now completely disembarked - prepare to fight against invading Indra Prime forces. Fortifications are hastily rebuilt, anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems emplaced.

The fleets move to surround the British Imperialism waters, like the protective arms of a mother. Aircraft are scrambled, and targets designated in the event of an assault.

Danu, Bodies Without Organs, Northern Irish Freedom... Lavallin, even. Can you not see that Indra Prime is seeking to cause a conflict that could spiral out of control?

For that matter, the nuclear attack on New Tiger Bay seems to have been an awefully convenient occurance for him... especially as his ships were on hand to sink any evidence about who was behind it!

The BWO records department wishes to politely inform the diplomatic department of Tarrican that it was ships operated by Lavallin which sank the ships responsible for the nuclear attack. We have been in contact with them with regard to their findings onboard, and found the thoroughness of the Lavallin investigation, ahem, somewhat lacking.

As far as the foreign affairs department of BWO sees it: there are currently 5 nations with troops or staff deployed in the mainland of British Imperialism: Vyse, Whispering Voices/Murderous Tendencies, British Commonwealth, Bodies Without Organs (technically only on the offshore oilrigs) & Indra Prime. Of these, the first four have some kind of permission from the legitimate government-in-exile of British Imperialism. The last one does not. We urge the immediate withdrawal of Indra Prime forces. Their incursion is tantamount to a further act of war upon British Imperialism, which earlier refused them entry.

We are not prepared to aid armed forces on any side should any further conflict erupt. We find it distressing that the British Imperialist mainland continues to be raped of its resources and its people subjected to great privations while the true criminals stationed elsewhere go unchallenged.

We continue to await further word of events unfolding in the Sudan.

To Tarrican: we assume that the fact that no invitation to the peace conference was extended to the nation of BWO to have been an oversight, no?
18-09-2003, 22:17
We would suggest to Whispering Voices that a war with a nation so much smaller than them, over such a petty incident, will be entirely needless and cause too much bloodshed.

Surely it would be better just to let Indra Prime withdraw their men and forget the whole...unpleasantness?

I am sure that Indra Prime would be more than willing to pay compensation for any expenditures you may have incurred (within reason, of course).

Needless war only results in the deaths of innocents.

for our allies in British Imperialism. Our goal is to
achieve peace by showing Indra Prime cannot bully
their way onto our allies soil while clearly having something
to hide by their threats of war to oppose a thorough and
harmless search of their assets. It is in the best interests
of Indra Prime to submit to a thorough search in the name
of peace rather than invent reasons why the search is
unneeded. Clearly, it is needed, and to come to heads over
such a ridiculous issue, even to the brink of war, may be
ridiculous; but it is a measure we are willing to take if
your forces continue to pose a threat and you are unwilling
to cooperate in the best interests of all parties involved. Our

establish a presence in the International Waters and

<<International waters, off the southeast coast of Nikea>>

Rear Admiral Leseriuene looked out from the bridge of the carrier flagship Mochiro. The night sky darkened the waters of the vastness of the ocean that was situated off the southern coast of the Devils Desert region. This darkness was broken, however, by the lighting of the carrier fleet which headed southeast towards the isles of British Imperialism.

Leseriuene viewed the ships assembled nearby with some awe. It was not the first time he had seen a fleet in action; in all actuality, he had lost count, in his head at least, of how many times he had seen his carrier group, the DNN Carrier Group Four, sail together, in various exercises and training programs. He had official record of all of his excursions out to sea, and had kept record even when he was a young Ensign, fresh out of the Interiu Naval Academy and eager to do his part to serve his country.

Despite his long career in the navy, the sight of these carrier groups always managed to strike a sense of pride and awe in him. At 52 years old, he was by no means young, and was sure that, sooner or later, he would be promoted to Admiral and waste away the rest of his Navy life behind a desk, and not out with the ships, where he felt at home.

Turning away from the glass, he headed back towards his viewing chair in the rather spacious bridge of the Mochiro. He reread his orders, which were still in his hand, slightly crumpled from his grasp, in the familiar monotype that printed out these orders for hardcopy, after the message had been received through a rather advanced set of satellite communications. It was amazing, he thought, that all of that technology resulted in typewriter letters on a piece of paper.

Patrol the seas, Leseriuene thought to himself, quoting part of one of the sentences of his orders. He knew that he would be getting to the area rather early, and nothing would be happening for awhile. This was dangerous, as his men might become restless and less aware of what was going on. However, he had planned many exercises which would keep his men sharp and alert to what was going on around them.

Leseriuene smiled softly to himself in the bridge, which was fully staffed. He only could anticipate what would be coming in the future.

Greetings.

The Dominion of Nikea has been rather concerned over the past while about the military buildup in the area of the Devils Desert, particularly around the islands of British Imperialism. It appears that some wish to restart a conflict which was thought to be over, and this apparent action concerns Nikea, a neighbour and ally of British Imperialism.

Inhabiting the Devils Desert, specifically in the south, we have a vested interest in peace in the region. Nikea wishes for a non-violent end to this matter, however we are prepared to defend ourselves and our neighbours should the need arise.

Nikea once again urges that all parties end the conflict on a peaceful note.

Also, about 30 pages prior I was involved in sending some doctors to the Irish region. I was virtually ignored, and these doctors have long been returned home, with the exception of Dr. Irisiuene, whose plane was shot down on her way back to Nikea (read the story in my New Dawn RP thread).

We apologize for the events that have unfolded recently. The decisions were based solely upon the actions of a disgruntled General that we had placed in command of the Reconstruction effort. We of the Directorate of Indra Prime wish to express our apologies for his actions at calling in the troops. We have subsequently removed him from command and have taken over the efforts for work on British Imperialism and the Devil's Desert Region. We will order our fleet to stand down immediately and return to port. This event has gone too far. We sincerely did not know what this general was up to because we trusted him as a highly decorated officer in our military. We ask that we can negotiate to lessen tensions in the region and another matter. We DO have personnel in British Imperialism that were there only as humanitarian aides. We would like to get them back. We do not have any spies in your land and if you would be so willing to deliver them to the Halett, which is waiting in international waters. We have in the end removed the commanders of the ships involved including Fleet Admiral Benett due to dereliction of Duty. Each of the officers found in conspiracy against Indra Prime will be executed for treason. Please except our deepest sympathies and apologies for the events that have transpired.

By order of the Senior Directorate all Indra Prime Ships are ordered to stand down from current position and to return to port at full speed. The Theater Commander, General Thomas Harrimond Davis was relieved of duty and arrested for treason against Indra Prime. The orders given by Davis were not orders from the Directorate. He was acting of his own free will with a grudge against the Devil's Desert Region and Indra Prime. Orders are to return posthaste.

IPS Singularity, Commander Thourougard, you are to relieve Fleet Admiral Benett from his command and you are to assume command of the Singularity as per the Directorate Order 73216. Place him under arrest.

Ships allied with Indra Prime we appreciate you alacrity at responding to the call for help but in this case it is no longer needed. You may return to port with our thanks. Do not cause any hostilities between the region of Devil's Desert and your ships.

Theres no Satellite Supremancy, per se unless saying yours are superior to anyone elses, Lavallin has satellites over BI ever since war as to any data that they transmite since its encrypted six ways to sunday, only Lavallin and any Lavallin feeds data to would be getting Lavallins data.

I'll leave it to your imagine who else might be getting Lavallins data, through assurdly the fellow 32cir are getting it too.
:D

OOC
Pause, before we get another argument.
Lavallin, it is possible that you have satellites in orbit. This does not mean that WV cannot have satellites there too. You get info from yours. He gets info from his and his were watching the IPS Singularity like hawks.
If you want, you can see that Indra Prime is violating the cease-fire, too, and send in on to anyone you want. :)

Whispering Voices, I recall you saying that you were moving satellites into the area, but if someone missed it then they haven't posted damage i.e. not lost any satellites... can we say that you have the killer satellites there, but are holding off using them until diplomacy genuinely breaks down? It is logical and consistent with the majority of what has been declaired.

Hopefully that will be acceptable and we'll actually be able to move forward without this descending into an OOC argument. Any objections?


OOC: I'm simply puzzled by the "satellite Supremancy" wording, its like "Air Supremancy"

What is that really?

I don't consider space beyond atmos as "territory", and I've posted of killing BI satellites in war so i have stuff over BI assurdly.

Holding off fine but I don't recognize space past atmos as being owned by anyone.

If anything like 12 mile sea limits you might say BI owns air/space up to 12 miles..

OOC My turn with the story-o...
We in the DD get a request from WV, to let BI join the region, as he is good RPer and under attack. Incidentally activating the regional mutual defence treaty. We considered this to be a bit of a fiddle, but extended political credit to WV, especially because BI had the nuts to actually lose a war. And most notably because we know about WV's tendency for gunboat diplomacy and wanted to make this an actually peacefull conclusion.



OOC:
Hummm the problem is that BI attacked 32cir before ever in DD, I have a problem with a mutual DEFENSE pact being applied to a person who INITED a war, still was IN a WAR and runs off to join some powerful region while still at WAR with those he Attacked unprovoked.

I don't take to gunboat diplomacy as you guys clearly saw...
Peace is fine but trying to ram it down peoples throats without regard to why it started and who was the aggressor and all is annoying, If I ran a region like DD I'd have ORDERED BI make a peace and only then become a member of DD and only THEN be covered by a MDP.

I PLAY a ONLINE game where there actually are players with REAL stuff that can be blown up and I can tell you that "guilds" and Groups in there DON'T allow in new members if their still at war, they require peace be made first, otherwise then adding members at war already just draws others into conflicts.

And never know WHAT MDP's others have, the games seen TWO massive wars happen cause of MDP after MDP being triggered when someone got attacked..

This is just a "forum war" but truth be said would you really be risking :P
your real assets if stuff owned could actually be blown up?

Excuse my what might be a rant, but it was WV's gunboat diplomacy that actually probably has DELAYED a peace! That and DD accepting BI when things went sour for him and he ran off to someone big to protect his keister.




Conclusions were being reached about a terror group responsible for the war and a peace solution was neared when the place got whacked with the afforementioned nuke. Since then, WV has gone on alert and IP has been winging about what we can and cannot do, despite the fact we are going ahead and doing it.
Hopefully the revised venue peace conference will happen before the shooting does and random bozos like Dark Terror get involved. 50 carrier groups my arse.



BI fired that nuke do remember while BI (whos been inactive here) waa last active continuing his own ideas, seems to me since then BI has vanished from playing and left things in a mess.

Dark Terror I don't know but his post only mentions 12 carriers not 50 carrier groups... and USA at the end of WWII had a hell of a lot of different carriers.. so alot of smallish carriers isn't impossiable... I'd agree if 50 Super carriers each with say 500 planes was being played :shock: :shock:



IC:
any more than I do. For that matter, the nuclear attack on New Tiger Bay seems to have been an awefully convenient occurance for him... especially as his ships were on hand to sink any evidence about who was behind it!

Be reasonable and bring your wayward companion to heel. If he really wants people back from Britain, I would go there and get them out myself if it would secure peace. With representatives of as many of you as choose to send them. Guaranteed cavity-search-free offer.


OOC: The nuclear attack was look back triggered by BI

Are you sure IP and BI aren't the same person :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lavallin sunk the cruiser that fired the missles it being a BI wreck and after inviting ALL to send people to shift over the evidence on it... not my problem if you didn't role play a group arriving to look over things, I can "give you evidence copys" gathered...

Nothings been really posted what "evidence" is on board, that was something I expected BI to perhaps TM me on what should been found etc.. so I simply sunk it as other BI wrecks to prevent more occurances of unknowns using them..

go back and re-read the posts.... IP didn't sink evidence.


IC: Lavallin isn't acting unless either the region around it comes under nuclear threat or 32cir as a whole decides what to do conventionally.

OOC: Its DD's responsiability to make a peace, you took on BI so you reap BI's problems and where is BI anyway??

BI hasn't been active and so things seem to have gotten off track from the "terrorist" think BI inited

OOC:

I've played a bunch of online games too, shockingly enough. The two most pvp-based have been Meridian 59 and Shadowbane, and I can pretty much say that who you guild and when entirely devolves down to convenience (if you're in a militant PVP guild anyway). You simply weigh the advantages the person brings (allies, skill, resources, and how much you trust them) against the disadvantages (enemies, risk of betrayal).

In this particular case, I liked BI's roleplay enough for it to outweigh my assessment of the disadvantages.

And I don't run the Devils Desert - that should be made clear. I'm just the most vocal one in this particular thread.

Oh and I don't know if I said this enough yet: I approached British Imperialism, not the other way around. He didn't come running to me ;)

My gunboat diplomacy may have delayed a peace, but it would have been one that raped British Imperialism. At the moment we have a chance for a mutually amicable peace, if the Indra Prime situation is settled.

And the problem with Dark Terror is that, essentially, he claims the uses of forces (Bisonic tanks with indestructible armour, anyone?) that are currently fused to a big sheet of glass.

1) I don't know what Setellite supremecy means. I think it refers using numerous killer satellites to whack anything foreign in BI's airspace.. .er... space-space :)
Of course, satellites in Irish space-space could still see BI to some degree. But don't tell him that or he'll go for them too! :lol:

2) Yes, it is a bit rich to join a region midway through a conflict and activate a mutual defence pact. I've maintained that throughout, which is why I am pushing this peace-ward so we don't get into recriminations. And while it may not be sensible, it has happened. There are people on both sides spoiling for a fight... I'm trying to stop the fight happening here.

3) We know BI started it. That's why we aren't demanding reparations. :wink:

4) Yes, I was wrong. Lavallin did get to the boat and I acknowledge that results can't be published if you haven't gotten any. Myself, I'd have taken it in and re-commissioned it in my navy, but sinking works too.

5) okay... I'm not poking a finger at DT with the 50 carrier groups thing, despite the formatting of my paragraph (honest). But I'm sure someone posted that there was a huge buildup of naval strength and 50 carriers was mentioned. I acknowledge the point about different carrier sizes. Half the forum only ever uses Nimitzs, though. Hmmm... I wonder if I should bring along my 1 current naval vessel (on its shakedown cruise, no less)?

6) Yes, WV delayed peace... thats another reason I'm trying to smooth it over again.

7) BI's continued absence has left a hole in the thread that current tensions are filling the gap of. If he'd come back, we'd rapidly get back on track.
We'll all have egg on our faces if BI goes and disappears from under our feet :)

Our phoenix team will stand down as per my order. They will not resist your troops. All we ask that they be treated fairly and justly as they were following orders they thought were coming from the ruling body of Indra Prime. The Colonel in charge of the Phoenix team was shocked to hear of the betrayal of the General who was in command of the operation. He has already ordered his men to lay down their arms and surrender to you peacefully. Please deliver them to the Halett ASAP along with the humanitarian aid workers that are currently with the team. We are expecting to recieve 27 personnel including the team and the aid workers. Thank you for your assistance.

Updated information. The General in command of this operation was discovered to be a relative to the late ambassador of Indra Prime, Joshua Lee, who was killed at the Bombing of New Tiger's Bay in BWO. We believe he held a grudge against all nations involved, including Indra Prime, for not stopping the attack and used this time to plan a "retaliatory" attack against some other nation. Thankfully we were able to stop him before any real damage was caused.

For those nations watching the unfolding situation in British Imperialism, the Murderous Tendencies Trahim teams were now taking in the Indra Prime peacekeepers and rendezvous forces - peacefull, stripping them of weapons but not dignity. They were loaded into APCs, and driven to the closest Expeditionary base - Coventry.

Here they were run under biomedical scanners, but were not asked to take any isotopes more dangerous than bog-standard medical ones. They were also searched more thoroughly - but not stripsearched.

<Transmission to all nations>

As you can see, things are progressing smoothly now in the matter of Indra Prime's presence. Both their peacekeepers and their targets are unscathed, the stand down seeming to have come just before firing orders were given, and shall all soon be returned to Indra Prime.

Meanwhile, we are pleased to announce that Cardinal Matthias will soon be at the peace conference.

We apologize for the absence of our diplomatic corps in this matter before now, but they were occupied elsewhere until now. We are now sending an Envoy with Director Steven Fuller of the Indra Prime Senior Directorate and Ambassador George Burdell of the Indra Prime Diplomatic Peace Corps to the peace conference. They are accompanied with a fleet of defensive ships that will remain in International Waters as a backup group in order to prevent any attack on the peace conference as occurred in the New Tiger's Bay incident in BWO. If they recieve clearance to approach the shores, they could provide more coverage to the conference as their standing orders are to see that this conference succeeds no matter what the cost to our fleet.

We assume that this means efforts will be made to apprehend suspected rebels and bring them before court-martials. That they will be destroyed as fighting forces, not individuals. There have been enough innocents sent to the grave already in this whole sordid affair.

BWO Foreign Affairs Department responds that, although they plan to attend the peace talks, they will not be providiing any security vessels. They coast guard is already overstretched following losses of several vessels during the attack on New Tiger's Bay, and due to its ongoing role providing security around the oilfields off the north-eastern coast of the British Imperialism mainland.

Any reports of armed merceneary ships operating in concert with unarmed BWO scientific deep sea survey vessels are mere rumours and are not to be credited.

Santa Barbara shall second the agenda proposed by Whispering Voices, with the acknowledgement that in this case destruction [of British rebels] does indeed mean destruction as an enemy fighting force.

A multinational covering force for any sensitive processes is a must, to prevent the sort of disaster which has happened recently from happening again. Task Force 209 is in position and able to help fulfill this role.

A demilitarized or neutral zone could be set up, so that no ones forces may pass through without proper, international authorization. Any unauthorized forces in that area subsequently would be declared hostiles with regard to the peace process. In any case, I needn't remind anyone of the inherent dangers of having so many international maritime forces in close proximity with no agreed-upon establishment of rules governing the accepted uses and theatres of operations.

Since There is 54 pages, someone please tell me what is going on? Has Ireland been defeated? Has the 32 counties been attack/destroyed/etc. as I am in that region.

OOC:
Here we go again: BI forces attacked 32CIR. Biochemical weapons were used against 32CIR. The mainland of BI was devestated by retaliatory attacks. Millions of civilians were killed there. BI forces employed biochemical agents against the invaders of the mainland. BI forces were beaten in 32CIR, and reduced to low threat status on the BI mainland.

However... it appears that the attack was not fully sanctioned by the BI government. Terrorist forces took advantage of plans for a conventional war against 32CIR and during the communications black-out prior to its launch staged the pre-emptive assault.

There was a peace conference which was starting to get somewhere when it was attacked by nuclear weapons. We now stand on the verge of another conference. The BI mainland is still occupied by Vyse forces, but they are preparing to hand it back to regional allies of BI. British Commonwealth forces hold the north of the BI mainland, and remain an unknown quantity.

Some nations are attempting to track down the terrorists responsible for the assault on 32CIR, while others are trying to feather their nest...

IC: Noting that Irish sea is currently exclusion zone patroled by all lavallin forces with other 32cir, any that need go to peace site via irish sea wll need a Lavallin or 32cir Escort.



Some unknown subs were sometime ago found within the 32cir area and sunk out of hand.

BI attacked 32cir, after initial attacks including bio and chem, Bi was repulsed and BI itself attacked, Lavallin took on two BI fleets and eliminated most all of them, through suffering loses itself, Lavallin droped in special forces into BI and later removed same through some cloned raptors didn't respond to the recall signal and are either dead or will be dead once they pass a certain time limit...

32cir and others invaded BI Then most all withdrew.

Lavallin bio-techs found a way to immunize vs the bio weapons BI used and distributed the info to other 32cir.

If have time you should read all the pages really :lol:










:P Their "sterile" so not likely to produce any offspring in the limited lifetime have.

Since then Lavallin has been patroling Irish sea, and is still in a war state vis a vis BI.

BI at a point after attack joined DD region and their brokering a peace.

First peace try was interrupted by what seems unauthorized people launching 4 nuclear missles from a BI wreck, Lavallin and others were able destroy 3 of them but the 4th got through nuking the peace site.


Lavallin investigated the wreck and invited others to join in the investigation, once foinished lavallin sunk it to prevent more unauthorized use and has been sinking all BI wrecks it happens on

A 2nd peace conference is in the works.

Our ships will close in to the borders of 32CIR Waters and International Waters always remaining on the International Water's side. However there is a small frigate, the Indra Prime Diplomatic Ship Harding that is carrying one of our Senior Directors and the Indra Prime Amabassador to the peace conference. We request a Lavallin escort to lead our frigate through the 32CIR water borders to the peace conference.
Once our ships are in position we will have them take a defensive posture and lend whatever help is necessary to the 32cir forces in the area. Once the peace conference has concluded they will form an escort to the IPDS Harding and lead it back to Indra Prime.

"Right oh. Well, I'd suggest that Lavallin provied a trio close in... either Aegis-style cruisers or anti-air destroyers. Three likewise from Indra Prime... then we link the Samael up with two of Murderous Tendencies' very able type 45s. This should give enough protection, without letting any one side look like its menacing the others. We acknowledge that Bodies Without Organs have their ships stretched right now and wouldn't want to trouble them."

"I suggest we send the names and class to Lavallin, then his people can do visual confirmations of class on the arriving ships before they enter the Irish Sea. That way nobody sneaks battleships in.

Whispering Voices reiterates the capability of Murderous Tendencies to guard the coastline of British Imperialism itself, and as it was put in charge of permission to enter/exit British Imperialism areas then it forbids all access to them, and so on. However, in the interests of ensuring no more attacks happen, each representative - if desired by their government - coming to the Isle of Man peace talks may come aboard one (1) destroyer-class vessel. These will be closely monitored, however, it should prevent any allegations of negligence on our part should another such attack come.

Shadowy official #198 shakes his head. "No. Make sure you keep any diplomatic transport ships tracked while within regional waters - you can task some satellite assets to that as well as UAVs - and have a wing pair of Falcon Rapid Interceptors warmed up in the Cape Tobago Aerodrome catapults with an antiship loadout for each ship that comes in, and that should be all we need to do. Looks like the situation's defused, everything's peaceful. For now. Let's just hope this peace conference gets concluded successfully, we need to refocus regional attention on the Damocles program."

Just so there is no biased opinions about what has transpired recently we will give you our rendition of what happened and then if you so desire you can go and get another nations perspective. To start this last conflict we must see what all took place. There was an increase in tensions between Whispering Voices/ Murderous Tendencies and Indra Prime. Tensions grew to the point where it appeared that a full scale war was about to erupt on the scene once again, but with two different parties. Ships from both sides were amassing in International Waters to support both sides and tensions grew even higher. However, before the first volleys could be fired, the Indra Prime Senior Directorate stepped in and removed the General in charge of the operations in that theater. It was discovered, that the General in question had a grudge against the nations in Devil's Desert for the death of a relative in the attack against the first peace conference in New Tiger's Bay in BWO. When it was discovered by the rest of the involved international community the tensions were quickly subdued and Indra Prime had their people returned through WV. Our allies were thanked and asked to clear out of the area immediately.

"In the absence of forward progress, tensions developed between men who percieved each other as mutually aggressive. Bigger things were threatened and the threats exaggerated with each telling. Various tempers let off steam and everyone calmed down again.

Diplomatic Dispatch From BWO To All Nations:

The Body of Delegates has been focusing its attention on internal affairs. The clean up activities around New Tiger's Bay have been concluded as best as possible. Official activities have further been disrupted by unidentified powders arriving regularly through the mail to various administrative organisations. The economy has been sorely hit by the negative press reports that this whole messy affair has caused.

We intend to send Olga Chinaski as a representative to the talks. In view of her medical condiiton she has stepped down from the position of Chairperson and has been replaced by Delegate Franklin W. Hardy-Boyce. Since the attack she has been convalescing and preparing for the resumption of talks. She should be arriving shortly, or as soon as we can find an airworthy plane.

OOC No idea... But he hasn't gone Ex-nation yet, so there is still hope. *tagt* to keep this in my memory.

The ambassador keeps on sipping his drink and raises a glass to Vysse as they await the arrival of other deleagtes.

Transmission to ALL INVOLVED NATIONS.

The Republican delgation has set up the peace conference and established security. Prince Enrique requests that the other delgates begin to come to the conference. We are still attempting to re-establish contact with the skeleton BI government, but if we cannot, then Cardinal Matthias will have to represent them.

Note: If any country wishes to send a security detail, please transmit the details to us for clearance.

Robert Mueller, The Senior Director of Indra Prime, reviews the communique from Vyse King of Rogues and begins to make plans for his departure. He presses the buzzer on his desk and seconds later his aide walks in.

"Yes, sir?"

"Frank, I need the Constellation ready for departure ASAP and I want my private jet ready on the flight deck. We have finally been summoned to the peace conference."

"Peace conference, sir?"

"You remember that conflict that was occuring in British Imperialism a while back that heavily involved Indra Prime, which eventually led to the arrest and execution of Walter Leebig, the general we had placed in command of the conflict?"

"Oh that peace conference! Of course sir. Your jet will be waiting for you within the hour."

"Very good. And Frank....please have the strategic command arrange for a full battalion of Marines to accompany us on this trip. We also will be accompanied by my own bodyguard forces. Have Strategic Command contact Vyse King of Rogues and let them know of our impending arrival with our complementary defense forces. We wouldn't want a repeat of the Tiger's Bay Incident."

"Yes sir. I will take care of it right away, sir."

Excellent. Our Forces will move in and will secure the area immediately upon landing. The Warships are already in position around the peace conference location. We await the arrival of the other delegates.

We are sending in a suborbital arial craft carrying a Director from the Senior Directorate from our location in the Hawaiian Islands. We had to pull her from her vacation in order to be at this peace conference. We request clearance to enter Vyse King of Rogue Airspace to land on the Indra Prime Carrier Viking So they can transport her to the conference.
23-12-2003, 05:25
Permission granted. If the Viking would like an escort, we're willing to provide four fast attack craft.
Indra Prime
23-12-2003, 05:31
We welcome the escort. We are in the middle of some tumultuous times with some enemies of ours. Any assistance would be appreciated.

The Imperial Technate supports the British Imperialism in its plight against the Irish trouble-makers. Us Imperialists must stick together against our foes and these Irish should give in to their British masters. This war is a testiment to the growing problem in the world because everybody is attacking Imperialists. Only a few days ago there was war declared between the Commonwealth of Independant states and a socialist faction, these attacks on Imperialism must be stopped and we must expand our empires. Beginning with Ireland.

YOU ARE NEXT ON MY LIST TO BOMB YOUR BRIT QUEEN SLUT LOVER, THE BOYS ARE GOING TO GET YOU :evil: :evil: :evil: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Let me take care of them..PleASEEE

all yours Bomb the Brits :twisted:
