::Open Telegram to all Nations (LETI and invite only due to idiotic party crashers)::

Mathias Brock: Our weather centers are predicting a sunny day with highs in the mid 80s. What a great day to commission the flagship of a fleet!

We invite all nations currently with forces or interests in the LETI region to send delegates to attend. A special area has already been roped off for you near the ship, and VIP passes are prepaired for those who want to listen to the local music.

On the adgenda:
6pm: Introduction of Commodore, speach by same.
6-9 pm: Open mic event for visiting dignitaries to make speaches.
9 pm: Commisioning ceremony, done by Prime Minister Carl Wainright
9:30 pm: Local Bands perform, 2 for one drinks, buffet for dignitaries.
11:45pm: Fireworks

We hope a good time is had by all who attend. Remember to sign in, and feel free to make a speach between 6 and 9.

OOC: Where the hell did you get the resources to build an aircraft carrier? Even I can't BUILD an aircraft carrier (I have to buy mine, my facilities are only advanced for fighters.)

OOC: I didn't build it. And I had to pay in out the nose for it. But at least I have one now.

OOC: Yet, no aircraft, you have yet to train its crew, and it probably has all of its documentation and controls in the language of the seller nation. Our Nimitz didnt enter action for 2 years after purchase.

OOC: I bought it 4 or 5 RL days ago. That makes it 4-5 NS days old. And don't even try to tell me I gained 2 Million people in a month, because I'm not buying it.

I have it all well documented on my website: http://www.angelfire.com/ns2/manarth/press.html

I suggest you go there if you have any further questions. Thanks for your concern.

Edit: As for aircraft. I'm not at full compliment, but I've got 4 squadrens of F/A 18 E's on it. I'm not planning on going to war anytime soon.

http://www.angelfire.com/ns2/manarth/untitled.bmp

Sorry about that. Got caught up in the moment.

What:?: Did I miss something :?:
This letter not to be singed because Robert Slawter IV does not wish to reveal himself.

OOC: Dont call me a noob... my military would crush yours.

OOC2: What class is it?

For your information.

1 Kitty Hawk Aircraft Carrier, (I'm a small nation, can't afford to own nuclear power)
Crew has been training for several (RL) days now, or several (NS) years now.
I payed more than I had to, and bought a mothballed fleet from some powerhouse who was decommissioning his older stuff.
I have been paying something like 2.5 bill a (NS) year to refit and repair the mothballed fleet, as well as train my new crew.
I have been issueing press releases for the better part of 5 days, refering to the purchases and the fleet. (both in the forum and on my website which is located in my motto.)
Never, in this entire time, did the nations of my region (most of them at war with each other) object in any way to my naval buildup.
In doing so, I bankrupted my entire defence budget. I'm lucky I didn't have to run in the red, just to buy bullets for training my regular army.
I have my most recent defence budget posted on my website. I'm still spending a few Bill a month just to get some Oliver H. Perry Class ships online.
And then I make a post where I can show off the the nations in my region, and some little puke that thinks 800 posts can make up for the fact that he's just 7 days older than me and ISN'T EVEN IN MY PROPHET FORSAKEN REGION tries to question what I'm doing. That's got to get someone a little pissed off.
So use your brain, look at the posts I made, look to see if I have a website that anyone who plays the game and knows my name can find, and for the sake of the prophet stop poking your head into businesses that aren't yours. I mean Jesus H. McChrist! You're not even in LETI! You have no troops in LETI! Let LETI make it's own decisions on what I can and cannot commission. I assure you, I'm not about to declair war on any non LETI nation, I don't even know who they are!

In short: I have documentation. Read it. And STFU!

Oh, and your flag sucks. IGNORED!!!!!

So... Who's comming?

OOC: Documentation does not necessarily equate viability. It would serve you well to remember that... and to not take things here so personally.

IC: The Federation Navy will not be attending the commissioning, as the Secretary-General does not wish to legitimize a dictatorship by participating in such an event.

OOC:LoL... MY flag sux... yah... right.

OOC2: What ACS said. I have a Nimitz, but it isnt even fully operational (no air complement.) At least my budget can support maintenence costs (its nearing half though now.) at 10%.

Do you have to be in the LETI regio to attend?

*Admiral Ulononv and Secretary of State Rumpsfeels Lear, comes in on final approach at the airport in Manarth, the plane touches down and taxi's to the end then stops by the hangers. The pilot comes into the back of the plane*

Pilot: Sorry about the turbulance, it was most unexpected.
Ulonov: Thats quite alright......

*The two stand up and exit the plane and walk across the tarmack to a black un-marked car is waiting to take them to the newly completed Edenstein Embassy, once they are in the car and underway Rumpsfeel looks over to Ulonov*

Rumpsfeel: This is very exciting, Always loved the commisioning of a new ship... why don't we have these anymore?
Ulonov: We produce and buy so many ships, we wouldn't have time to do it. They are given a simple launching cermony and thats that.
Rumpsfeel: Ahh I see.

*the Car speeds off in the night towards the new embassy*

*On his way out the door Admiral Felix Metzger yells orders to his wife.*

A. Metzger: Woman if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times! You can't come with me! You have to stay home and make sure nothing important comes up. I'm not missing the launch of this ship. I don't care when your mothers birthday is.

Mrs. Metzger: Fine! But if I'm not here when you get back don't be surprised.

A. Metzger: OH you'll be here woman! You just try finding somebody else that will let you spend all his money on shoes!

{God I love shoes!}

::Holy Emperor Elwood Zev Corran walks onto the scene by himself::

Corran: Well its too bad Luna and Ritsuko are nowhere around here. Ritsuko especially would enjoy this event...

::Mathias Brock personally comes by to greet the envoys from BJ Land and Edenstein::

Hope you enjoy your stay here. And try some of the cheese, turns out we're a big exporter. You learn something new every day.

Defense Minister Wallace and Admiral Hilary MacLean will be attending the launch of the Carrier

OOC:Attican Empire i suggest you reevaulate your posistion.
He does have the Carrier, he is capable of fielding aircraft for it. His nation and its navy are still very small. and being a late august nation i caution not to make threats

Commodore Fritz Takeshi of the NDOTJ arrived at ten til six, just in time. Oh yes, my speech... He checked his pocket. Still there.

OOC: We actually don't have any carriers quite that size, in spite of our well developed navy... although we do have a fair number of smaller carriers. Recently, we released a very interesting one... see page 10 of this thread. (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4650) Or the rest of it for details on the NDOTJ.

::In Port Hrabe, Mathias Brock walks up to the dais overlooking the festivities. The ship, still on the launch platform, sits withing throwing distance behind him.::

Brock: Ladies and gentlemen of Manarth, distinguished men and women of LETI, I give you the new director of our Naval program; Commodore Henry W. Cook!

::Croud breaks into applause as an old man wearing a distinguished uniform ambles toward the podium.::

Cook: Good evening to you all. I've never been good at speaches, so I'll keep this one breef.

I am proud to stand before you as the new Head of the People's Navy. Over the last few days, I've gotten to know my command crew and tour the ships I'll be commanding, and I'm more than proud. The people here have done increadible things.

I'm also glad to see so many important foregners turn out for this. It means alot to me, personally, as well as this nation to see delegates from Edenstein, Euphoni, BJ Land and CoC all here, with only one minor altercation over who was first in line for pizza. Seems Euphoni forgot COC was in front of them.

::Croud laughs::

Serously now. I hope that in the comming weeks I can make this navy into something which the people of Manarth can be proud of. Thank you all for comming.

::Brock takes the podium again, as the people applaud Cook::

Brock: Lets hear it again for Commodore Cook! ::More applause::

Now, I turn the mic over the those who are attending. If you want to make a speach, now is the time to do so. And at 9, Carl Wainright will commission the carrier. I also remind you that we have food and entertainment scattered throughout the are. Have fun!

*Admiral Ulonov steps up to the microphone and looks out upon the crowd*

My friends, I am here today to officialy welcome Manarth into the world community. It is a wonderful thing when a nation decides that it wants to enter in to the world stage. I can remember when Edenstein launched its first carrier, and made its first small steps into the waters surronding Edenstein. Today, we have the largest naval force in LETI. Nations gain power, grow to a luster and then fade into the darkness. This carrier is the first sparks of that shine. I hope that the nation of Manarth will learn from the mistakes of Edenstein, and the other nations of this region and temper power with understanding, and not be hasty to call up the hounds of war. My best wishes to your nation.

*Ulononv steps down off of the podium*

::As Ulonov steps down from the podium Corran steps up::

Corran: Thank you. It gives me a great deal of pleasure to see this launch today. As shocking as it may sound, it was only a few months ago that we launched our first serious naval vessel ourselves. Historically we have not been a nation of the sea, which is somewhat ironic for a nation consisting of a dozen or so small islands. To this day our navy is still the smallest of our armed forces, but Admiral Sigurd Hyuga has done well. And so I have great faith that Commodore Cook can do great things with this fledgling naval program beginning today. It is my hope that the nation of Manarth not make the same mistakes that we have made throughoutour history. I admit I know very little about Manarth's history, but know that we at Henceland Omega wish to extend an open door policy to you in our nation, and even in Yggdrasil Square in our capital. This is a momentous occasion today, and I hope it draws us together as fellow inhabitants of LETI! Thank you!

::Corran accepts the applause and steps down from the podium. He looks around for the DDR machine he and Sigurd brought with them as a donation to Manarth. Finding it, he rushes to it and he and Sigurd begin to explain the game to interested bystanders::

A reporter from an independent online newspaper based in a Federation coastal city is among the press corps covering the launching; however, there is no official presence by the FACS.

::Mathias Brock steps back out onto the podium. The croud quites down as Carl Wainright walks up towards the dais::

Brock: And here he is! Prime Minister Carl Wainright!

::Croud erupts into cheers as Wainright ascends to the podium::

Wainright: Thank you all for coming here on this special day. Now we are truely a political prescence in the region!

::Applause::

I would like to thank the countries that sent their delegates, Edenstein, Euphoni, Council of Clan, BJ Land, Henceland Omega (DDR rules!) ::Croud chuckles:: and all other nations watching this from wherever you may be.

We are entering a new era in Manarth today. An era where we will not be bound by the very ocean that isolated us for so long. Today we will tame those seas, and make from them a name for ourselves, for our region, for our nation!

::Applause. Wainright picks up a bottle of champain::

With this, I christen thee in the name of the Prophet! RMS...

::Wainright's free hand darts to his chest as he stagers backwards. He braces himself on the edge of the ship with the bottle of champain. His face drifts downward, as a cirle of red radiates outward from his hand.::

Wainright: (almost inaudable) No... Not now...

::Wainright falls onto the launching platform as the croud decends into pandimonium. Comodore Cook rushes to the mic::

Cook: Marines! I want every exit sealed off from this square! Someone get those diplomats out of here! Everyone stay down! I want troops surounding those buildings over there! No one gets in or out until the area is searched! Mr. Secretery, come with me, I'm getting you to safety.

::Cook and Brock flee accompanied by the delegates from the COC toward the local airport as the RMS Posiden, christened by the blood of Carl Wainright, floats out towards the sea::

The independent reporter, who used to serve abroad as a combat photographer, immediately takes cover and begins searching around the buildings visually... trying to see where the shot might have come from. He rewinds the digital video camera back to just before Wainright was shot and begins to play in slow-motion, hoping to catch a glimpse of the bullet as it came in.

Corran: Holy Crap! What is going on? Or as Wallace used to say, 'WTF?'

Sigurd: I already turned off the DDR Machine. I tried calling into the Hence Palace, but nobody answered. I also called Luna and Ritsuko. They're currently out, but I left a message at their hotel room to call immediately upon returning. ::A policeman runs past them and up to the scene of the crime. He starts yelling things about not leaving the country::

Corran: Looks like we'll be here for a while... ::shrugs:: That's ok with me. I just hope things hold out at home...

Commodore Fritz Takeshi loudly began protesting his innocence.

*Ulonov looks around at the ensuing chaos, and from under his uniform produces a Walther PPK and hands it to rumpsfeel*

Ulonov: Get that out of sight, you shouldn't need to use that but just in case
Rumpsfeel: What in the hell is going on here.....
Ulonov: Isn't it pretty obvious... its a coup, *He reaches back into his coat and produces a palm pilot, he tries to get the emperor but only gets the voicemail box, he tries reaching zofia*

*back in zofia's room in Daistallia her palm pilot is flipped open on the bed*

Ulonov: Zofia! Are you there? Zofia???? Dang Blamit.... *he closes his palm pilot and then drags Rumpsfeel to some cover* We are just going to stay here for a moment.

The independent journalist begins to make his way from the scene with the rest of the press corps. Things appear to be getting a little too hot than they are worth.

*Wallace and MacLean look at each other confused*

Mac: shit sir, they are in the middle of a goddamn coup.

Wal: well lets follow Cook and Brock and get the hell out of here

*Mac draws out an outdated Nickelplated Ivory handled M-1911A1*

Wal: what in the hell are you doing?

Mac: just incase someone gets a bad idea sir.

Wal: well I see you stuck with the good ol .45 even after we went to 9mm's

*After boarding the Carrier Wallace pulls out his Satellite phone, hits the encyrptor*

*a phone rings on Premier Connery's desk in the capital of Kent*

*Connery picks up the phone and speaks gruffly*

Con: This is Connery.

Wal: Sir, this is Will, there has just been an assassination in Manarth, we believe that a coup has taken place

*Connery drops his cup of coffee*

Con: Wha? what happened?

Wal: well sir someone assassinated Wainright and right now we are on board the Manarthian carrier with Brock and Cook

Con: first order of business is to get you off of that ship, i'm ordering one of the Silencers to come and get you.

Wal: Thank you sir, what do i tell Brock about our position

Con: Tell him we are going to figure out what is happening before choosing sides.

Wal: Will do sir, good bye.

Con: good bye
*slams the phone down on the receiver*

*leans back in his Large chair in the elipctical office putting his fingers together over his chest*

So it begins........

::Corran and Sigurd hide behind the DDR Machine::

Corran: When do you think they'll let us go home?

Sugurd: Who knows? It might be best, though, to NOT stick around here!

Corran: But where should we go?

Sigurd: I don't know... Our embassy wasn't quite done yet...

*Admiral Ulonov and Rumpsfeel are hiding behind some cars when they look over and see Corran Hiding behind a DDR Machine, he pulls out his service handgun and runs over to where corran is hiding, he slides in and neals down beside the Emperor and salutes him*

AU: Sir what should we do?

Corran: Do? Well, umm... I don't think there's much we can do! If we make a wrong move, we're liable to be shot!

Sigurd: I heard they still aren't allowing flights to leave Manarth...

Corran: I know. Who's side are we one anyway?

Sigurd: I have no idea.

Corran: (To Ulunov and Rumpsfeel) Well, I know one thing's for sure. It's not safe here! Maybe if we head to the airport of something they'll eventually let us go...

OOC: Henceland Omega and I RP'd this out on AIM, I just put it in here to advance the story a bit.

*Ulonov flips out his palm pilot and there is a message from Lt. General Kornikov, he presses a few buttons and his image starts talking*

LG: Sir, the situation in Manarth has been degrading rapidly, we are dusting off all non esential personal from the embassy tonight, unfortunatly, we are stretched a little thin personal wise, we have our embassy gaurds on high alert and protecting the perimeter. Tomorrow, the emperor is landing a full mechanized divison on the island to assist in peace keeping. You have to options, you can try and make it to the embassy tonight, or try and hold out till morning. That is all sir. Kornikov out.

*the message goes blank*

Ulonov: Well those are our options.... or we can try to make it to the airport, but, I doubt that we will make it out, if I where leading this, I'd try and take over the airport first......

Corran: Yeah, that's true. You say your embassy is finished?
randomtubaEd: For the most part, there are some crawl spaces and such that still need finnished but we have been in it since last wednesday.
That is probably the best option right about now...

*Rumpsfeel looks around at the chaos* I'm a poloticion, not a soldier.... I shouldn't be here, he holds his gun loosly almost afraid to hold it.

*Ulonov looks up as 2 hind-40 helicopters and 2 AH-64's with edenstein markings on them fly over* Well, they've starting dusting off the people, I wonder how many they are sending, either way, we will be safe there. There is a contingent of marines there.

Sigurd: Edenstein Marines at the embassy?

Ulonov: Of course.... we arn't going to send our people here un-protected. there are around 75 marines there, standard embassy staff, 50 Diplomats and staff 75 marines.

Rumpfeel: I would feel much safer with our boys around us then sitting out here like wounded bait fish.

Corran: It's fairly basic practice.

Sigurd: I'd feel safer around your boys than out here in the open too. Let's go...

Ulonov: Corran, you ever shoot a gun?

Corran: A lot earlier than I ever hoped to...

*Ulonov Reaches under his coat one more time and produces a 9mm. and one Clip and hands it to Corran* I doubt you'll need it but just in case.... Coups can be a god awful thing....

Tell me about it!

Ulonov. What about him? *points to sigurd* You carrying a side arm?

::Sigurd nods:: I carry a 9mm to be on the safe side...

Ulonov: Good Man... Lets go..... the embassy is south of here about 5 blocks......

::Sigurd nods:: Ok

*Ulonov heads to the exit to the grounds, but is stopped by a gaurd holding an M-16, he reaches into his pocket for some ID but instead grabs his pistol and nocks out the gaurd. Ulonov Grabs the M-16 and motions for the others to follow.

::Corran tries to hide behind Sigurd, knowing that of the group, he is the most likely to be recognized::

Ulonov: You three stay here.
*ulonov notices that in the chaos a jeep has been left outside of the grounds he runs over to it and notices that the keys arn't in it, he looks around and see's a tool box in the back, he opens it up and finds a flat headed screw driver. returning to the front of the jeep he prys off the lock and jams it into the ignition. Ulonov steps on the clutch and turns the screwdriver over and the jeep starts up, he drives back over to where he left the three*

Ulonov: Get in....... quickly...

Sigurd: You started a jeep with a screwdriver? Wow! ::He and Corran jump into the jeep. Corran looks overhead at the AH-64s and shakes his head::
Corran: I wish I knew what was going on

Ulonov: Basic Training..... *Rumpsfeel jumps in the back and ulonov hands corran the M-16* Here hold on to that, and I'll explain... *He steps on the gas and starts driving towards the embassy* Basicly, it appears that someone in manarth didn't like the way things where being run, so they took out the premier, *he turns a sharp corner almost putting the jeep on two wheels* Now just from what I gathered from Kornikov's message, it sounds like it was a military desicion to take him out, I know that they have been looking to increase military spending and such but there parliment won't let them, *Ulonov turns another sharp corner, almost flinging rumpsfeel out*

Corran: So do you think they'll move from a parliamentary government to a dictatorship?

Ulonov: Thats what I would do... If I where to take over, i'd immediatly dispand parliment, hunt down the premiers, prime ministers, whoever, and have them executed.. claim they where opressing the people yadda yadda yadda, and set up shop.. destroy the forces that where loyal to the old government and set up my supremecy, *ulonov blows through a red light, almost causing an accident, a police car starts to chase them*

Corran: Geeze!

Ulonov: Someone take care of that cop car! *He starts swirving in and out of traffic* Its logical..... I wonder what happended to CoC's people....

::Corran sighs and pulls out the M-16, shooting it at the tires of the car. He misses an awful lot, but eventually hits the front passenger side tire, causing the cop car to swerve off the road:: I don't know. It almost sounds like CoC's in league with these people...

Rumpsfeel: I wouldn't doubt it..... you could never trust them, say one thing one moment then do another then the next.

Ulonov: it is awfully convienent that they dissapeard soon after the shooting began...

Sigurd: I noticed that. They ran off almost immediately afterwards, and I didn't see where they were going
Ulonov: It was probably one of those limey bastards who shot the premier... *Ulonov turns down a sidestreet, and then turns down another road coming closer to the embassy* All I can say is that we will probably have more then enough Info when we get back to the embassy *He pulls out his palm and tosses it back to Corran* Try to reach Zofia on that.

Corran: Leaving a message?

Ulonov: Well try to get a hold of her see if she knows what is going on, but leave a message if you can't...

Corran: ::Tries contacting Zofia:: I can't say I've ever really used one of these things before...

Sigurd: You really should get one.

*in Daistalla zofia's palm starts flashing* Zofia: Shit.. now what do they want? I'm on vacation!!!!!

Ritsuko: Don't answer it... they don't need you...

Zofia: They might though...... hmmm *Picks up palm and opens it up* This is Zofia.....

Corran: Oh hey! Zofia! This is Corran.
*Ulonov, takes a quick turn, actualy putting the jeep on two wheels this time, it comes down witha thud*
OOF!
Zofia: What are you doing on Ulonov's Palm? And what was that?

Corran: Well he's currently driving a stolen jeep. We're attempting to reach the embassy in Manarth

Sigurd: How much does Zofia know about what's going on.

Corran: I don't know. (To Ulonov) How much does Zofia know?

Zofia: WHAT?????? *Ritsuko and Luna come over to where she is standing*

Ulonov: I have no Idea... I never was able to get a hold of her....

Corran: ::scratches head:: I wonder if Luna and Ritsuko know what's goign on.... (reutrns to the palm pilot) Yeah, um. Wainwright was shot by one of his own military men. There's a whole coup going on right now, and me, Admiral Sigurd, Ulonov, and Rumpsfeel are caught inthe middle of it...

Ritsuko: What's going on Zofia?

*Zofia puts the palm down for a second and looks up... THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY LEAVE!!!!!!!!!! *looks at Ritsuko* ohh nothing, Ulonov stole a jeep, Wainwright was asasinated, and Manarth is in the middle of a coup...

Ritsuko: Oh ok... ::Sudden pause as it sinks in:: WHAT!?!?!?!?
randomtubaEd: *Zofia goes back to palm* Corran, if this is some kinda joke........

Corran: Well I dont' think there's much to worry about right now as long as we don't get shot before we get to the embassy. Oh this isnt' a joke. I just shot a cop car that was chasing us when Ulunov ran a red light

*in the distance two humvee's speed up and start gaining on the jeep Ulonov looks back at* $HIT! *he slams on the brakes and spins the jeep around and heads towards the two humvees. He narowly pases in between the two, knocking the mirorrs off all of the vehicles*

Zofia: Have you contacted Emperor Ed Yet?

Sigurd: What the HELL are you doing Ulonov?!? We could've been killed!!!!!

Corran: Umm... no. Ulonov sugggested I call you first. (Turns to Ulonov) How much does Emperor Ed know about this?

Ulonov: We arn't are we? *The two humvee's drive a little farther down the road and try to turn but can't because of how small the road is* I left him a voice message but I don't know if he know what all is going on here, I'm sure he does.... Kornikov Said that a Mech Inf Division was landing tommorrow so I'm assuming he knows...

Zofia: Ulonov.. did you say Kornikov?

Corran: He did

Zofia: How far are you from the embassy?

Corran: How far are we from the embassy Ulonov?

Ulonov: About 2 blocks.....

Corran: 2 blocks

*Zofia looks at ritsuko and luna* I think we might need to leave....

Ritsuko: Uh... yeah. It sounds like LETI has bigger problems than peole setting themselves on fire

Zofia: It must be us.. we leave, the region goes to pot.....

*Ulonov turns one more corner and the embassy comes into sight* We are almost there....

Ritsuko: Well when we were in Carelicum, there was a war going on that stopped when we left. We get here and now there are people SETTING THEMSELVES ON FIRE!

Corran: We're almost there...

Zofia: Ritsuko, get over it..... Corran, did you say your almost there?
randomtubaEd: Zofia: I'm losing reception a bit...

Corran: Yeah I did. It's getting harder to hear you...

Ritsuko: I'm sorry, but that just freaks me out!

Luna: It's ok Ritsuko...

*Ulonov Drives the jeep right up to the gates of the embassy, just as two more helicopters take off and head presumably towards edenstein*
randomtubaEd: *Two Marines run out with Guns drawn until the see who it is and then they snap to attention and salute*

Zofia: We must be the angels of death or something....

Ritsuko: That's too weird...

Ulonov: At Ease soldiers, help Emperor Corran out of the jeep.... What is the status of the pull out?

Sgt: We just launched the final helicopters sir... they are headed for edenstein.

Zofia: Damnit, I lost the uplink to them.....

Corran looks at the palm-pilot:: Oh, she must've hung up

Ritsuko and Luna begin to pack::

Ulonov: Lets get into the embassy..... *two humvee's appear at the end of the road and start to speed towards the embassy*

Corran: Is that the guys that were chasing us?

*Ulonov looks at the two vehicles coming towards them, they have no mirrors on the one side....* It appears so... Get in the embassy, they can't do anythign to us there... *looks at the two Soldiers* get back to your posts.... if those soldiers give you any flack... shoot them...

Soldiers: YES SIR!

Corran: Man... I just ant to get some sleep... Maybe in the mornign things'll be better

Sigurd: Unlikely

Ulonov: well there are beds in the embassy, I'll stay up and find out whats going on.... you guys go and sleep...

Corran: Ok! Thanks... I'll be up to help you guys out tomorrow
Ulonov: Excellent.......

*the remaining three head off inside the embassy as Ulonov starts to talk to the gaurds, the Humvee's continue heading towards the embassy.

You like mine?

And now a freelance update on the state of Manarth:

Voice of Richard Morgan: Hi, I'm Richard Morgan reporting live from Manarth. We're broadcasting from somewhere in Lake Clarke City, although I can't disclose where. We've been stuck here for a couple of days now, no one is allowed on or off the island except diplomats.

However, here's some information I've gathered:

Gen Stan Evans has proclaimed himself the Lord Protector of Manarth, and has siezed control of the government. He claims that the plot to kill the PM originated from DPM Goldstone, Upper House ML Vandershale and Press Sec. Brock, and has put out a $125,000 bounty on their heads. Yesterday his troops executed the Lower House ML for being part of the conspiracy.

Brock and Vandershale have excaped, no one knows to where. Rumors say that they have begun recruting irregulars to battle the Army, but reports are not forthcoming.

Goldstone's wereabouts were pinpointed to the Edenstein Embassy. Lord Protector Evans' government has already prommised his execution.

"Rebels" consisting of former Marines and local citizens are curently fortifying the city of Port Hrabe, the only city not under Protectorate control. The fifth Mech Infantry Division is enroute to retake the city.

And rumors of Airforce fighters diserting with their planes have been circulating, but information from St. Matthewstown has been tight.

Got to go now. I'll report in later.

**Admiral Metzger wakes up from where he passed out under a tree. He looks around confused.**

A. Metzger: Man, the next time I go someplace I am definitely not taking any of that Edenstein Vodka with me. Drank way too much of that stuff. Where am I? I don't understand. Wasn't there supposed to be a boat launch? Well I better find somebody who can fill me in.


**Due to Admiral Metzger's drunken condition he falls down, hitting his head, and knocks himself unconscience again.**

::A marine Sargent looks down at a nearby tree. There is an unconsious man in a Admiral's uniform::

SGT: Sh1t. What's this guy doing here? Captain! We got a VIP!

::A Captain walks up::

CPT: Who the... sh1t. Wake up admiral. Time to go. I'll fill you in on the way to the airport. Just hope we can arrange for you to leave this city.

::He motions for two marines to carry the still unconsious admiral to the nearby hospital::

CPT: We'll get him out of here as soon as he wakes up.

::From the Edenstein Embassy, Corran phones into Henceland Omega. Tempest picks up on the other end::

Tempest: Good afternoon, office of His Henceness, Tempest speaking.

Corran: Tempest! How's it going!

Tempest: Your Henceness! We've not heard from you since the start of the cop! How are things? Are you and Sigurd all right? What's going on?

Corran: Well nobody can leave the country. We're both fine. I need to know what's going on with Sketch and CoC. Is Ritsuko around? ::Tempest fills him in on the goings on of LETI and Daistallia:: Well! Interesting! Contact Ritsuko and ask her opinion on the whole thing. I think CoC's aggression is just a sign of his arrogance. Tell her she has my full support on whatever she decides. And I'll try to get back as soon as I can.

Tempest: Excellent. I will do that. Oh one last question.

Corran: What's that?

Tempest: A statement of inquiry. But that's not important right now. Do you know where Laura is? Nobody's seen her since you left.

Corran: Uh... I have no idea...
