9/11/03 - At The Schnieder Capital Building
As a sad reminder to 9/11, which happened in the US, today, we are starting construction on a 10 stage rocket, which will reach space, and stay up for 5 days. Our goal is to see how a mouse reacts to non-gravitational situations. We will send up food and water with the rocket.
*President Jager Walks Out*

9/12/03 - At The Construction Site
......Reporting live, from Canoska. Thank you folks, and goodnight.
*President Jager Walks Over To The Rocket*
Jager: Wow, quite a piece of work. How are we going to seal it?
Worker: Triple welding.
Jager: Quite amazing.

OOC: careful, knowing this place some sad gimp will invade you for being cruel to a mouse, any excuses go around here

what about the mouse! did you ever think of what he wants! he dosent want to go to space... as we all know that rats are the ones who want to be astraunauts

*throws a cat at the rocket and runs*

*throws a cat at the rocket and runs*
*thump*
*MEOWWWWW*

:P I'm not being mean to poor old mousie!!! I saved him from being eaten by a snake anyways... so I think I deserve a little respect :P

Will the mouse be coming back or are u just going to leave it there until it starves?

I said after 10 days!!! Food and water will be sent with.

Rocket is 49% till completion. Rocket has been mapped out, propulsion is currently being built, and the rocket is currently being welded together. Donations are welcome. If the test is succesful, we will give technology info to any nations that donate over 5 million USD.

Don't send mice to the moon. They'll be severely depressed to find it's not really made of cheese.

It's made of Pop Rocks!

*IH space ship, the aurora is prepared to intercepted the space ship and free the mouse*

"He will be a hero in our nation"

Intercept, and I will go to war with you. Remember... a bucket of bolts will blow up your magnetic drive!!! It will stick to your drive and cover up the ports, then overload it.

there isnt any ports, the magnet is inside the ship, you should really researche me before you plan a war

SS, do we have to go over this again? You're small. He's big. get used to it

I know he's big and I'm small... oh wait... I know!!! Ignore cannon will work perrrfectly!!!

Overall 51% Completed

Info on ignore cannon

YOU HAVE TO HAVE GROUNDS TO IGNORE!

All i said was we will free the mouse on the basis of animal cruelty

Grounds: Interfering with highly-important research to my country to free a simple mouse. Unwanted interferance is surely grounds to ignore cannon you.

grounds: flaming ooc threats godmodding

you do not have grounds therefore you cant ignore

ignorings a privilage not a right you have to earn it


a single mouse for your first rocket... then a monkey...then a dog....

mice are gateway animals, we will free it!

No, a mouse is a gateway for humans. My ultimate goal is to get humans into space. Do you really think I'd kill my family pet? Or hurt him? Moistee would not like (Moistee the mouse). I am asking nicely not to interfere, or I will take military actions, no matter how small I am, and how big you are. Moistee will bite you if you touch him :P *Pets Moistee* See! He likes me!

*a video message appears*

we will take the mouse when it reaches space and return him safely back to you

mice like us

*picture of ih secondary power supply*

*15000 mice in ih uniforms stand by to run a tread mill*

"Hmmm... With all the garbage that is orbiting around those suckers go and launch a mouse."

"Yes, my Lord."

"I think we should be giving them a good welcome into space. What do you suggest?"

"May be jamming their telemetry?"

"Naaah. Been there, done that. Though it is indeed funny see the techs frantically trying to get backup telemetry online. Think of something more original. Something that makes them climb up the walls in hysteria. Have any operatives in there?"

"Yes, sir. At least two, they have uncovered several other nation's operatives on the field."

"And why are we all idiotically spying on a would-be space nation launching mice into space?"

"You never know what you can find."

"Too true. Well think of something, will you?"

{sigh}"All right my Lord, though I am not as... creative as you can be..."

*Radios Sith*
Hello clarice!!! (Evil voice)

Tehe, just kidding! Anyways, please no no interferey withy mousie!!! I don't want to kill my pet mousie!!!

79% Completed, only need to finish up researching on the elctronics. Launch will be probably in a half hour.

5 minutes and counting till completion. 10 minutes till launch.

(OOC: Don't do that to me, I have a puppet named Evil Sith and I just thought I was RPing as him. :) Besides, it wasn't my intention to harm the mouse, just give your nation a heart attack. Another point. I hate putting things like (Secret IC) or similar, but you should have deducted that a conversation between the Emperor of Dark Sith and his Minister of Intelligence and Information is not broadcast. Unless you have tapped DT's office, which I seriously doubt. I treat your comment as OOC, even if you didn't state that. Back to (Secret yuck!) IC.)

"Sir I just have an idea for the SmartSpace welcome."

"Excellent. I have one, too. Put cockroaches in the rocket. When the techs see them crawling around through their cameras, they shall start having fits! Heh."

"My Lord, I respectfully advise against that. The cockroaches sometimes eat the wires' covers and provoke shortcircuits. It could kill the mouse or make the satellite have an uncontrolled re-entry, falling anywhere on the planet. Even on our own heads."

"Oh. I don't want to kill the mouse. That could lead to some serious investigation, especially as another big nation is checking on the situation."

The Minister hands Darth Thanatos some papers.

"Here is what I had in mind, my Lord."

The Emperor reads the proposal, blinks, and looks back at the Minister.

"Are you serious? A Battlecruiser? What if they have external surveillance cameras? They will know... (Reads a little more) Oh. I see. The 'yes, it is our fault so what' approach. Can you guarantee the mouse won't be hurt? Some nations go overboard if you kill a mouse, but don't bat an eye if you kill ten thousand humans."

"I cannot, but Darth Nautas has given me his personal word on the matter."

"Nautas, no less. All right. Proceed. Still, I would have liked the roaches trick."

LAUNCH MOISTEE 1A NOW!!!
*Rocket launches and makes pace for space*

The Schnieder Capital Building
Hello everyone. As you have heard, our first rocket, Moistee 1A has been launched successfully!!! He is now one mile from reaching space! I can guarantee that Moistee will be safe on his return!!! He will stay up for as long as necessary, hopefully 10 days as planned, so we can conduct our research on the rockets systems. We have started some minor frame construction on the Futama 1, a rocket capable of entering and landing from space multiple times. After the Futama 1 has been tested, we will begin to produce 4 more, the Futama 2, Futama 3, Futama 4, and the Futama 5 Gold Edition. These 5 HUGE rockets will be used to colonize in space. We are currently working on where to colonize, but we're hoping to build a mockup of an astroid. We will eventually get around to making an atmosphere around the astroid too. Thank you for all your support!!! *Bows*

(OOC: Depending on the tech level of your space surveillance network you can or cannot detect this. Others can :) So I have to post it.)

The Battlecruiser "Stuffed Leech" abandons the dock in the DarkSith's orbital station and approaches Earth, picking an unusually low parking orbit, as if expecting something.

*Detects a very low low metal radar signature in space*

Jager: Nevermind, sieht es nur wie ein Planetoid, aber Unterhaltabtastung!! aus!

Military Expert: Gut Herr Präsident. Wir fahren fort abzulichten. Wenn alles oben mit diesem Planetoid kommt, brechen wir die Mission ab!

AKA: We saw a small signature on radar, and think it's only an asteroid. If anything comes up, we will run an emergency abort.

A Severskian Navy submarine surfaces, and launches a Titan Anti-Satilite missle. The missile upon closeing on the target, the large body starts to spin, and the 10 smaller (about the size of a AIR-2C) missiles are ejected, and proceed to engage the target.

I dont like mice-nappers.

Seversky, I am assuming you are acting for me? If so, thank you very much.

If not... DIE!!! :P

(OOC: These are the stats of the beast approaching your rocket:

Length:2,145 meters
Hull:8450 SBD
Shields: 6370 RU

Weapons:
70 Turbolasers
100 Heavy Turbolasers
30 Ion Cannons
50 Missile Launchers
15 Tractor Beam Projectors
1 Yamato Cannon (Special Weapon, can be fired only once every 15 minutes depending on energy usage, does damage comparable to a small nuclear blast.)

Ignore the weapons. I don't intend to fire... mostly :). Just have a look at the size. Low orbit is not low signature.

I suppose you have cameras checking on the mouse, just a lifesigns and all that medic stuff.

Back to IC)

"Admiral, we are in range."

"Thanks, Helm, keep the course steady. Comms, jam all bands. Weapons, apply tractors to the target. Aide, bring me The Box. I'm going to the docking bay. Second, you have the con."

A chorus of yessirs acompanied Fleet Admiral Darth Nautas as he left the bridge. The orders given, the battlecruiser proceeded to a total comunications blank on the rocket, and using the tractor beams pulled it inside the ship.

(OOC: Now is a good time for a National Heart Attack :) Don't worry. I'll get back the mouse and the rocket into place, unharmed. Oh, and Seversky's unwarranted and unannounced attack, besides harmless, is ignored. Not even an offer of aid?)

Expert: We've lost communications!!!
Jager: Oh, no problem. It's probably that sithy annoyance up there in space. He won't touch Moistee... in fact, he can't touch the rocket at all, as it will hurt quite a large bit from multiple causes...

*Pets pet mouse, in space station* It seems fine in space.

In Memory Of 9/11, We will Never Forget

(OOC: Now is a good time for a National Heart Attack :) Don't worry. I'll get back the mouse and the rocket into place, unharmed. Oh, and Seversky's unwarranted and unannounced attack, besides harmless, is ignored. Not even an offer of aid?)
Nope, no offer. I'm too impatient. And those missiles are nuclear tipped. And it was warrented. You obducted his mouce, which was unwarrented and pretty pointless.

Thank you seversky!!! Can you send me a little remote control to one of those missiles? I would much like to pick my favorite spot to hit him in...

(OOC: The last external camera data should show the large form of the battlecruiser, with the DarkSith markings on it. But don't dismiss me so easily. And the attack seemed directed to your rocket, not my ship. Seversky launched an antisat weapon. Oh, well, too bad. Back to IC)

In the docking bay of the "Stuffed Leech", a legion of engineers and a pissed Fleet Admiral are working on the rocket.

"So, where is the mouse?"

"Sir, we are scanning the rocket just now. It is not bad for a young nation. Several checks, booby traps, all externally directed, a self-destruct. Aha! Here it is, quite protected."

"Well, can you reach it? Without harming it?"

"Actually, we can get it without harming US. These boys back down sure are paranoid."

"All Right. Aide, The Box, please."

As soon as Nautas opened The Box, he started swearing in a way that would have skinned an elephant. Or a rhinoceros.

"THAT'S IT! When I get back, I am going to give that good-for-nothing Emperor a piece of my mind!"

Turning to one of the engineers, he gave him the box and ordered, "Here. Follow the instructions inside and tell me in the bridge when you have finished with this... idiocy."

(OOC: Nukes? Are you launching nuclear missiles in Earth orbit? Are you out of your mind??? what will happen to the countries under? have you thought of that? You cannot direct an atomic explosion. In space it goes in all directions.

And ask yourself this: do you really want to kill 12.000 crewmen for a mouse?)

Thank you seversky!!! Can you send me a little remote control to one of those missiles? I would much like to pick my favorite spot to hit him in...
Certinly.

You should probably know, that the only way to actually get into the mouse's pod, is with a key to deactivate all of the security features. And that key, I have right here, in my hand. If you touch the mouses pod, it will send a 300volt electrical shock throughout the outer coating of the pod. So please, I don't want to kill you! Be sensible!

(OOC: Nukes? Are you launching nuclear missiles in Earth orbit? Are you out of your mind??? what will happen to the countries under? have you thought of that? You cannot direct an atomic explosion. In space it goes in all directions.

And ask yourself this: do you really want to kill 12.000 crewmen for a mouse?)
They're nuclear tipped. The radiation travels some 1,500 yards. Its not that deadly, and those nations will be compensated for their trouble.

And yes. I'd be more then happy to kill 12,000 people for a mouse.

(OOC: OK. Have it your way, then. I HATE wars. They harm the landscape. Also, I said I deactivated all booby traps, and the rocket is still jammed. No signals can reach it. We have better tech level than you and simple (for us) mechanical or electronic locks are "no problemo" :) )

The "Stuffed Leech" rocked violently, which made Admiral Nautas bump from side to side of the corridor, and run towards the bridge.

"Report! What happened?"

"Multiple nuclear impacts on our shields. Down to 5%. Partial radiation leaks in lower decks and one engine down. FTL drive out of comission. Yamato gun operative."

"Crap! Casualty report."

"Still counting heads, sir, but in the lower decks there seems to be dead, injured and radiation burns. Do we retaliate, sir?"

"In our state? Are you kidding? Let the bloody rocket on course as soon as we are finished and get out the hell out of here. This is now a matter for the Emperor to decide."

(OOC: Seeing that noone else is posting, and that tomorrow is working day for me, I'll end my part and go to sleep. No more posts for my part until tomorrow afternoon. Have fun.)

"Sir, report from docking bay: mission acomplished."

"Good. Sensors, any sign of futher attacks? Are you tracking the source of the attack?"

"Sir, no sign of incoming additional missiles and no aparent orbital threats. The attack seems to have come from a sub. We have tagged it and we are following it to locate its origin. Our whole orbital surveillance net is lit like a Christmas tree. And they know what happened, back at home, sir."

"Good. Lower our shields, drop that rocket out of my ship and let's limp back home. We have a ship to repair and a report to make."

"At once, sir."

The "Stuffed Leech" lowered shields and, using tractor beams, placed the rocket in the same course and speed as it found it. Raising the shields again, she made course towards the Imperial Drydocks.

As soon as the ship left the orbit, the jamming disappeared and telemetry resumed its data feeding. The sight that appeared before the techs as cameras resumed its work was incredible: TWO mice going at it like rabbits, and besides them a card that read: "We thought the poor thing must feel alone, so we brought company. Signed: Darth Thanatos, Emperor of DarkSith, Sith Lord Supreme."

To the nation of Seversky: prepare yourself for paying heavy reparations, as your nuclear orbital attack will have consequences. Besides the reparations that can be required by nations below the explosion, lots of comercial, wheather forecast, military and other kinds of satellites belonging to lots of nations HAVE been harmed by your recklessness. ANYONE claiming to have a satellite in the area will be over you. And either you pay, or you will face the wrath of a lot of nations. You made your bed, now you will sleep on it. Think trillions. The nation of DarkSith will simply step aside and laugh as you are crushed by the angry mob of people you have left without History Channel, the Simpsons or South Park. You have killed Kenny. (This is not OOC, for all nations to see and react.)

Certinly. I'll pay. Btw, my nuclear sub fleet doesnt opperate out of my country, so tracking it is going to give you problems.
