"You know we cannot accept the release of the refugees. There was a war going on in FPC, and soldiers cannot be tried for murder. They have been declared Attican nationals, and half are already being distributed to cities. Our submarines will continue their pursuit until you enter international waters."

"Call off your over-excited hounds NOW. We demand the release of those criminals to us THIS INSTANT. These men are not soldiers, they are terrorists. If you reqiure, we could come to an arrangement concerning the release of all Attican troops in our foreign legion, those held after your first attacks on our nation."

"And another thing, please, do not address His Royal Highness as 'president'"

"What will happen to these 'criminals'?"

"They will not be killed. They will be processed and forced to do ten years service in our foreign legion. After that time, they will be given the option of becoming citizens in our country, or staying with the Foreign Legion."

"Would it be acceptable if we gave them the option of joining your foreign legion or entering our country?"

Don't forget we have exact numbers of those who crossed the border rom the battlefield. If we do not recieve that many criminals, we will come and take them. Any casualties you sustain then will be your fault for swindling us.

Eight U-LIDS, left in "hibernation" mode on the sea floor in the international sea lanes just outside of Attican waters after the peacekeeping blockade was disbanded as a contingency measure, are transmitted activation orders over an ultra-low frequency, encrypted Emergency Action Message.

The unmanned, cementofoam-hulled submarines stir from their electronic sleep and begin to very quietly take up predetermined positions near the points where shipping lanes known to be used by Attican naval and commerical ships cross into international waters.

In the meantime, the manned submarine force, running silent and deep, continues en route to reinforce the two Orca-class submarines tasked to protect McLeodian naval units. Those two vessels are moving at top speed to meet their counterparts once they leave Attican waters.

"Most of these men have already been naturalized. You were the one that attacked Attican citizens in a foreign country, and you expect us to send them to you for war crimes? We want them to have a fair trial, first."

"Most of these men have already been naturalized. You were the one that attacked Attican citizens in a foreign country, and you expect us to send them to you for war crimes? We want them to have a fair trial, first."

"When? The first attack was against our Jeeps by your AF-100BBs. We then retaliated against rebel forces, which you claimed had no Attican Forces in them, then you attacked our F-15s and ground forces with more Af-100s. All that before we fired at your forces.

They were not Attican citizens when they attacked McLeodian forces... thus, they are not entitled to protection unless you intend to renounce the principles of all extradition laws. In that event, the Federation is prepared to declare the Attican Empire a rogue state.

If you gain permission from FPC for them to be extradited to McLeodian control, I will ablige (they were technically citizens of FPC). However, if he gives me the chance to give them a trial, they will be given a trial.

"We see no reason why we should. FPC denounced these men as terrorists, and declared them the enemy. Citizen or not, he made it known they were not seen as part of the FPC population. Hand them over now, or face the combined wrath of the Kingdom and the Federation."

"Hold Please."

"Hold Please."

[tinny versions of classical music play in background as if played on xylaphone]

The two Orca-class submarines begin to approach the rendezvous point. Each launches their contingent of four Mako sub-fighters, putting a total of eight into the water. The Makos take up a standard anti-submarine barrier patrol around their mother ships and switch their weapons to [ARMED-SAFETY]. The Orcas each load their torpedo tubes and arm their anti-ship cruise missiles, but do not open the outer doors.

OOC:

I need sleep, and since im in Britain, its 2:30 am.

Attican, post your response here, and TG me aswell. I will reply tomorrow.

The men will be deported to FPC as FPC nationals. If you wish to reject, contact FPC. If you invade, please beknownst we will call upon the international community for assistance. And we will state that McLeod was attempting to force us to send refugees to them for slavery.

And we will state that the nation of McLeod was only attempting to enact due justice on terrorists that attacked their forces... terrorists that the Attican Empire embraced with open arms and even military assistance. The Attican reputation does preceed you.

Attican, were you in truly in support of these rebels the entire time?!

Only when we found that the FPC emperor was a corrupt dictator. We asked McLeod to stand down, and he refused.

McLeod can not claim terrorist casualties that happen to HIS forces in a FOREIGN country. McLeod knowingly put their forces into a dangerous position, and now they want to put these refugees into a 20 year indentured servitude.

They will be deported to FPC, any attempt to halt the proceedings will be met with by force.

Who are you to decide who is and isn't corrupt? Have you any proof of his corruption? IF any one nation is corrupt, it is yours! You went behind an ally's back and funded a rebellion aimed at over throwing a "friendly" nation. You will be hearing more from us in the future...

OOC: wow... i think my nation is really slow... but anyway... :?

The Attican Empire calling the FPC a corrupt dictatorship is like the pot calling the kettle black. If the United States can claim casualties inflicted by terrorists on American civilians and servicemen in other countries, so can McLeod. Need we remind you that your own nation was responsible for terrorist actions against Federation citizens not too long ago? We went easy on you then. Never again.

Watch your words. You wouldn't want to start a war, would you?

OOC: Felimid, do you consider your soldiers citizens of your nation?

ACS : So now the United States is a benchmark for world politics? THe US has broken so many intl. laws that it is laughable. And he cannot kidnap foreign nationals.

The United States, compared to many (if not most) other nations, -is- the benchmark. McLeod is fully entitled to take terrorists that attack its citizens into custody, try them, and pass on a just sentence. If that sentence is a term of service in the Foreign Legion, so be it. There are much worse punishments.

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

But, McLeod has stated that he will NOT try them, but will force them into military duty without the due process of law.

Johnamerica == ignored.

--To McLeod and ACS--
--A seceret Priority #1 inscripted code--

These recent events have struck a sour note with the government of Felimid MacFal. Many a valliant man was killed on the field of battle, and many poor civilian was slain by no fault of their own. All of this because Attican decided to betray an ally. I say that we should not stand for this. Military action is needed against any nation who would fund a rebellion, nevermind one aimed at overthrowing an ally. I say that if Attican wished to change the leadership of a nation, that the same should be done to it. I call for a war against Attican. Not right away, for the military of FPC is wounded and there is not a sufficent build up of other militaries, but we should build our forces within the nation of FPC and launch a massive invasion aimed at removing the current regime from power and installing a new government, decided upon by its people. What say you on this matter?

But, McLeod has stated that he will NOT try them, but will force them into military duty without the due process of law.

Like the due process your nation showed the arbitration team the Federation sent to help you? We will press McLeod to give the terrorists a fair trial; however, it is not your place to harbor terrorists for any reason.

OOC: Felimid, do you consider your soldiers citizens of your nation?

OOC: yes i would consider my soldiers citizens. why did you ask?

ACS: If you can verify that they are given due process of law and are NOT given terms equal to that of slavery of indentured servitude, ok.

Felimid: Perhaps you are not aware of the new treaty with FPC and Attica? The Reichsgehemdienst is not intertwined somewhat with the FPC Secret Service. I suggest you rewrite your message to not be too FPC, since what you send him, I will get.

MESSAGE
From: Kaiser Otto Petinski
To: ACS, Felimid MacFal, McLeod03

Due to the new alliance with FPC that was ratified by me earlier, we call that all foreign armies depart the FPC immediately, otherwise you will be fired upon. We expect this message to be followed up by a similar note from FPC. Once you leave, my military forces (Expect for the Bundesgruppe) will be brought to a low alert level.

OOC: Felimid: Your nation recently enacted a new gun banning law. Therefore, if your soldiers are citizens, they are not exempt from this law (as you outright BANNED guns). Therefore, your soldiers are equipped with non-lethal weapons.

ACS: Do not bring the previous Emperors decisions into this. I, Otto Petinski, am not the same man as the first emperor, Kaiser Michael Kuklinski I.

As all Federation forces are in international waters at present, we will do as we please. The Attican Empire, given its history and present condition, is in no position to dictate terms.

dude chilll out. its nothing against you, its just that you are too small (at the moment) to realisticly have those numbers and abilities. give it another week or two, or try having a war with sombody your size.

Note: Part of the treaty (as long as FPC keeps up his part, which is not to harm the rebels that were captured), is that we will defend each other in any military event.

so even tho you broke that treaty by waging a covert war against him... he is still held by the contract?

oh and he already "accidently" broke that contract... if you look back a page or two, some of the captured rebels were exectued.

you can do anything you want, as long as it is within realistic settings of your nation. by all means, be a warmonger... just remember to pick on people your own size (or smaller)

He claimed it was an accident. Our forces beleive him... for now. The treaty was signed after he found out about the covert war. We were both looking for a way out.

Basically, it turns both of our countries into a union of two state/countries. They both have seperate militaries and internal policies, but we share Economy/Foreign Policy/anything else. Right now I am in charge of those, and I am working on rebuilding his economy to be on par with mine.

I seriously suggest that you do not attack Attica though. It would not be a wise move, as it would kill more of your people than mine (offensive wars are hard to fight.)

while that is true, the size of my military totally overwhelms yours. i can afford to throw around a few hundred thousand infantry, while you would sorely miss that same number. (i cant REALLY throw that around, but mine are more expendable than yours are :? )

OOC: but seriously now, i'm done till tomorrow.

The Federation might be persuaded to try to conciliate McLeod if the Attican Empire assumes full responsibility for and issues a formal apology for the Disarmament Treaty Massacre.

Sigh.

Subject: Formal Apology for the events of the Disarmament Treaty Massacre

The Empire of Attica would like to express its deepest apologies for the massacre during the Disarmament Treaty Talks, which were instigated by the Emperor Michael I. The Empire of Attica assumes full responsibility for these acts.

OOC: You must admit, though, that what happened during it was interesting (Some people said i almost started a world war).

With the admission of full responsibility, the families of several slain Federation citizens file civil lawsuits.

The civil lawsuits will be handled by our courts.

May i state again, you are the war-mongerer here. You threaten me whlst harbouring criminals, terrorists, and murderers? I will offer these men fair trial, as you insist, and if found guilty, they will be pressed into active military service.

You are the supporter of an illegal rebel forces, a terrorist force, and as part of a war on terror, i too could call in international forces to act against you. I demand that these men be handed over to us. The trial will be held over the next few weeks, and if you insist, members of the Attican and FPC nations can attend, as can members of ACS, and Felimd MacFal.


OOC: A little advice Attican - stop threatening countries bigger than you. I have 6 times the population, therefore potentially six times the military numbers. My military budget is close to six times larger aswell. Stop threatening me, or next time it will be war. War against terror and WMDs.

I already handed them over.


And remember - One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.

I already handed them over.

Felimid MacFal will abstain from attending the trial of these "alleged" terrorists. As far as we are concerened, they are guilty.

The Nation of Attica requests that Felimid troops leave FPC immediately. They have 24 hours to respond.

OOC: how long is 24 NS hours in RL time?

IC: The Federation of Felimid MacFal will remove its forces from FPC if and when FPC wishes us to. Not a second before. FPC asked us to send forces and we will leave them their until FPC asks us to remove them.

Do not keep any troops within 40mi of the Attican border.

All of our forces are currently located at least 40 miles from Attican.

The Federation will send a military legal advisor to observe the hearings.

OOC: Nuke me and die. I mean it Attican. This is serious.

IC: On a lighter note, after the enthusiastic and at times desperate claims by members of the Attican Empire as to how good their fighters were, McLeodian Industrial Conglomerate today began construction of a wig of AF-100s, using the plans donated to us by Attican Empire salesmen.

OOC: When did I give you plans?

OOC: When did I give you plans?

When i said 'i donate money to the design' way back when you were designing the craft, and you gave me plans for all variants. Read the design thread. It happened.

OOC: How much did you donate? Below one billion, you receive plans for variants only. Also, the plan calls for a munitions chip (going against the weapon system plan will be illegal), that, of course, denies firing access to Attican Empire and Freedom Country targets.

Oh and i can always put my own weapons system into it. Thats what designers are for. You just might not know that i have got round the chip until they all open fire on you at once.

OOC: Well, the AF-100 was pretty much build around all of its systems. Changing one could set off a number of failsafes, the majority of which are extremely difficult to detect, many masquerading as reduntant or necessary systems.

In the meantime...

The Federation submarine force sent to reinforce McLeodian naval units retreating from the area begins to settle on station in international waters. Patrols are set up near sectors of known high Attican activity and the Narwhal itself is rumored to be the command ship.

OOC & IC : Just to clarify things. IT seems that there was a lot of activity while I was sleeping and I was at school. I'll update all of you on FPC's situation and point of view.

Concerning the PoWs: Since they are FPCians, I request that Attica gives them back to my soldiers as they will be put in relocation camps.

Secret Services: Attica and FPC have both secret services working privately though they help each other.

Military: FPC and Attica have 2 different armies that they both have authorities upon.

Democracy: As I told you Attica, I will not attack nor throw out McLeod03 or Felimid MacFal. They can remain in FPC as long as 5 years. However, they cannot have more than 20,000 soldiers, 1000 tanks and 500 planes each. The same applies to you Attica.

I think that's about it.

FPC history chanel:
Today's topic - FPC's jails and labour camps

Jails in FPC are nearly non-existant as prisonners are sent to labour camps instead to do something valuable to the community. There is 10 jails in all in FPC. Each can contain around 1,500 people. Inmates get little food, only a breakfast and diner and get little time out of workshops and their cells. Inmates can spend nearly 23 hours a day locked up in his dark, small cell. Those who try to breakout or riot are sent to the "hole" where they spend up to a year alone in a black out cell barely large enough to sit or lie down. There is also some beatings that take place but we will not go into more details. Here is a picture of one jail:
http://www.virginiaplaces.org/graphics/wallensridge.jpg

Now let's talk about labour camps. Labour camps are huge places where up to 15,000 people are cramped in. THere, they spend their time sentences by doing hard labour duties such as buidling roads, damns or mining projects and much more. Their treatment are much harsher than those of inmates in jails. Labour camps inmates rarely get food. They are lucky to receive two meals a day.

Work hours are grueling, up to 16 hours in a row and privacy is totaly unknow. There are about 5 camps in all and around 80,000 convicts in them. Some say it might be too cruel but these felons have done some wrongs and must be punished for it. The normal sentence is 5 years. This is for minor incidents. Rioting is 10 years.

Murder, rape and theft is 20 years. Rebelling and speaking against the governement (actually giving info about the regime) is 35 years. Inmates, when arriving, are immidiately head shaved to reduce parasite infections and given white clothing with black stripes on them. We finish this show by showing a picture of one labour camp.

In response to the broadcast from FPC, troops indside FPC settle down for a long wait. They will only leave when stability its restored, and only as long as a threat of invasion by Attican backed rebels, or indeed Attican troops themselves no longer exists.

Escalation of numbers of troops can be expected, as can the building of military bases in FPC to house these troops.

The soldiers within FPC at the moment have begun to build fortifications and set up a base of operations. The are constantly on patrol throught the surrounding region on the lookout for any signs of continuing unrest or rebelliong. At the moment there are 3000 infantry, 100 tanks within FPC and there is a carrier stationed off the coast at the moment. Over the next two months, Felimid MacFal will be sending static artillery pieces and more soldiers over to their base in FPC.

Does stationing fighters off the coast count as the max 500 allowed?

--President Damocles of the Federation of Felimid MacFal--
--To the Emporer of FPC--

May I be so bold as to ask why you are continuing an alliance with the Attican Empire after you were so abused at its hands?

OOC: is FPC a puppet nation of Attican?

--Reichsgehemdienst picks up the message, sends it to the Kaiser. The Kaiser reads it, and grunts.--

OOC: no.


The Attican Empire begins construction of a military fortification in FPC near the Attica border.

McLeodian engineers begin to create large runways and aprons at the McLeodian base whilst in the background, large naval warehouses and even a dry dock can be seen being created. The McLeodians are here to stay.

While the Federation does not condone the harsh treatment of prisoners in the FPC, neither do we condone Attican attempts at imposing hegemony on its neighbors by force. As long as neither the nations of McLeod or Felimid MacFal object, our submarine force will remain in the region until tensions settle down.

ASC, by all means, keep your subs there.

--Secret ICs--

From: Kaiser Otto Petinski

If any of your submarines enter Attican waters, they will be fired upon, and any casualties will be YOUR fault. Understood/

ACS, feel free to use our naval facilities we are creating in FPC to support subamrine operations. They will be well defended from air attack by Attica, ironically by his own aircraft flying with heavily modified systems to allow the removal of a fire-control chip.

--Secret ICs--

To: ACS

From: Kaiser Otto Petinski

If any of your submarines enter Attican waters, they will be fired upon, and any casualties will be YOUR fault. Understood/

From the Secretary-General's Office:
Our submarines will only fire if fired upon and have never entered Attican waters, except when duly authorized. Please note that the Federation expects the Attican Empire to respect maritime tradition and extend all due hospitality to any Federation naval crew and ships that encounter an emergency and accidentally drift into Attican waters. If the Attican Empire fires on Federation forces that accidentally cross into your economic control zone, we will respond in kind.

McLeod: Is that a public message?

The one addressed to ACS isn't. So sorry, you can't jump on my ass about it. If you attack me in FPC, i will retaliate. You cannot run FPC for him. If FPC wants to consider my proposal let him. Sit down and shut up. Let FPC decide whether or not he wants my troops there or not.

With the current state of affairs, if there is a conflict between the Attican Empire and ASC, the Federation of Felimid MacFal will support ASC in any hostile actions. Maybe not with direct troop support, but with supplies and information.

I am allowed to say what I want.

The Federation will keep that in mind, in the event of an emergency. We intend to rotate crews out regularly to keep their proficiencies and readiness high.

OOC: Felimid, do you have an Embassy in Attica?

OOC: um... i dont think so... but if it will help continue the RP an any way... um... yeah sure! i do happen to have an Embassy in Attica!

I am allowed to say what I want.


*Secret IC* An RF-111 takes off from Fort Michael to take photographs of the McLeodian fortifications.

OOC: Why the secret IC? I publicly announced the fortifications, and its open for everyone to see. Im not going to hide anything.

Also, yeah you can say what you want, but you can't run his country for him.


*Secret IC*

12 NIRTSSATS deploy over Attica, and another over his base inside FPC.

With the current state of affairs, if there is a conflict between the Attican Empire and ASC, the Federation of Felimid MacFal will support ASC in any hostile actions. Maybe not with direct troop support, but with supplies and information.

We thank the good people of Felimid MacFal for their support.

OOC: What are NIRTSSATS?

OOC: totally aside guys, i think this has been a really sweet RP (the the exception of a little nit picking somewhere in the middle). Keep up the good work. :)

OOC: What are NIRTSSATS?

OOC:

Need It Right This Second SATellites.

Cheap, easily deployable satellites used primarily for theater recon and in some cases, longer term surveillance of an area. 12 will easily cover your entire country, and the other 1 will be able to show me exactly what is happening in your base at all times.

I used them against you in the first war, and i have made a thread about them somewhere.

OOC: McLeod, am I correct in my assuption that you have over 50,000 troops in FPC?

OOC2: Oh, if only I had a space program :( Whats the point of keeping it secret, its not like i can shoot them down.

OOC: McLeod, am I correct in my assuption that you have over 50,000 troops in FPC?

OOC2: Oh, if only I had a space program :( Whats the point of keeping it secret, its not like i can shoot them down.

Attican -nope you're wrong. Try around 5000. Still on that initial deployment, slowly building up with engineers but only about 5000 active combat troops.

Air forces have increased by two squadrons of F-98s, and one of F-35s,, so thats another 500 people + 36 aircraft.

Otherwise, its very small scale.

Secret IC:

A few scientists in Attica notice thru their telescopes faint glimmers in the sky, but, unable to determine, ignore them.

Federation Naval Intelligence tasks one of its own warfighter management satellites to pass over the Attican region every four hours. The Federation Aerospace Forces also begins conducting anti-shipping exercises at one of the Navy's testing ranges.

OOC: I updated military budget: http://pages.ripco.com/~antman87/military.xls

THe first C-5 transport of reinforcements arrived in the McLeodian FPCOPFOR base.

The men set up a wider perimeter, and began to help build defensive structures.


<Base Info>


Defense -

12 watchtowers with spotlights and M-249s.
Perimeter fence around majority of buildigs - low-tech non-electrified wire fence.
6 Patriot SAM launchers
1 Gatehouse w/M-249 and MAT-1 positions
500 man security detail including patrols of fence.
100 guard dogs.


Buildings - Unless stated, all prefab units.

6 Barracks blocks - capable of holding around 300 men in each
12 Warehouses - store everything from equipment to ammunition to food
10 Hangars - for maintenance and shelter for aircraft missions
POL farm - sited away from main area of base, heavily armoured (concrete)
4 Pier-like docking arms for naval forces of McLeod03, Felimid MacFal, and ACS
2 dry-dock areas - capable of hlding subamrines and anything up to Aviation cruiser size upon completion (Currently only aroun 10% finished.)
Vehicle Park - trucks, Jeeps, light vehicles
Armour Park - tank and APc area
'Tent City' - home to troops not living in barracks buldings.
Firing Range/Training ground - small area cleared near Tent City for use in drill practice etc.

The small, but potent, U-LIDS squadron continues its independent, silent patrol of the littoral waters just outside of Attican waters and near the FPC coast. The large manned submarine force remains on patrol in the deep ocean zone. Satellite recon and occasional high-altitude UAV flights running parallel to the Attican Air Defense Identification Zone keep tabs on the construction of the Attican seawall.

*Secret IC*
The Attican Scientists, noticing more spots in the sky, decide to explain the phenomenon. They conclude that they are most likely spy sattelites, and decide to request government aid in researching space technology. They also commence more research into finding out what the spy sattelites are doing.

OOC: Well if your best scientists can't work out what a spy satellite mgiht be doing, then your country is screwed.

To every nation in FPC:

Please, before any constructions of military camps and bases, could you wait to have my agreement first? Attica and McLeod03, you can continue with the building of your bases but this musn't get more than 20,000 infantry, 1000 tanks and 500 aircrafts in all in FPC territory.
(OOC: could you guys put the stats of your forcse in posts below so we all know what everyone has?)

Also, if war erupts between any nation in FPC, imperialist troops will remain neutral untill they are intentionaly fired upon or if a city is used as fortifications.

OOC: I have NEVER researched any kind of space tech. My scientists dont have any knowledge of how space works yet, nor what the spy sattelites are looking at. They can only guess the objects are spying on them.

While the Federation does not condone the harsh treatment of prisoners in the FPC, neither do we condone Attican attempts at imposing hegemony on its neighbors by force. As long as neither the nations of McLeod or Felimid MacFal object, our submarine force will remain in the region until tensions settle down.

Thank you for not condoning my harsh treatments on prisonners. Here, we believe they need this kind of reeducation to become more productive to FPC's society.

McLeodian Force now total:

Ground:

7500 infantry
1200 Marines

The Federation of Felimid MacFal is deeply sorry for not asking permission from FPC to construct in its lands. We have started the construction of a military base that will eventually be home to 10,000 soldiers and 400 tanks. In addition we would like to request to build an airbase that would be easily turned into an international airport at the time of our departure. The airbase would be garrison to antother 2,000 soldiers, some 100 tanks and the 100 fighters.

At current times, the Federation of Felimid MacFal has 6,000 soldiers and support staff and 200 Cataphract tanks at our military base.

FPC news:

"A terrorist act comes as a shock a week after the civil war was supposedly finaly over. A man driving a white van full of explosives rode through downtown Liliann and when he reached the front of a polcie station, the man blew up his car. The explosion was so big that several windows metres away were shattered. 1 bystander was killled and 4 police officers were injured. A security camera catched the explosion:"
http://i.timeinc.net/time/potw/20020614/explosion.jpg

OOC: It's caught, not catched.

IC: Were any of the police officers Attican MPs?

The Federation condemns the latest act of terrorism in FPC and hopes to see a swift resolution of the incident.

--To Felimid MacFal--
--From Emperor FPC--
Okay, you can continue building the airbase. And thank you for giving it to us when you won't need it later as an airport.
--OVER--

IC: Were any of the police officers Attican MPs?

If not stated, no foreign nation have been targeted.

Attican, are you again responsible? Have you not learned that other nations will not stand by as you bring another nation down from the inside? These attacks must stop or there will be drastics measures taken to make sure they cannot continue. Even if you are not directly responsible, you are liable to end these attacks by any means necessary.

Do you have any idea who these terrorists are? The forests are clean, we suspect foreign terrorist activity coughterristancough.

OOC: Well Attican has been known to harbour terrorists.

OOC: Refugees.

Forrest are not entirely clean. Almost 98% is but still, there are some caves and dug in bunkers that could be housing terrorists. Maybe it was the work of outside nations. FPC's secret services are investigating.

OOC: We do not beleive the activity is coming from Attica, but then again, it could be. We will investigate. We suggest everyone investigates their country. Did the van originate in FPC?

The leader of the RPC team looked across the street in amazement as the bomb exploded. Where once before hd stood a member of his team, was now a carcass. He turned away, feeeling sickened to the stomach at the waste of a life.

He turned back and, calling the rest of the team, began to run towards the blast area to help local police secure the area and look for evidence.

--From FPC secret services--

The van did origintate from FPC. Though we couldn't spot the license plate so we canno't be sure who did it. Maybe they were foreigners or citizens.

FPC news:
Terrorists today took a car, parked it near an Attican checkpoint and remotly blew it up. We do not know the casualties but it is expected that at least 2 Attican soldiers died.

Other terrorist acts, a bomb exploed in the construction yard of Felimid MacFal's air base. Casualties have yet to be reported by Felimid.

Attican Security Cameras took a picture of one of the persons in the vehicle.

http://lightning.prohosting.com/~marcbo/muslim%20man.jpg

Following the recent attacks on Allied and Attican positions throughout FPC, the McLeodian base has now been surrounded wiht pressure and heat sensros, and a checkpoint has been established on the only entry road to the base, around a half a mile from the main gate. each vehicle to pass through the checkpoint is searched, then given a marker to get them past the gatehouse. Any vehicle without a marker will be destroyed.

Attican Intelligence has identified the man as being of Terristani origin.

Attican Intelligence has identified the man as being of Terristani origin.

OOC: Sorry, but you can't post someone elses forces. Its the rules. If Terristan is responsible, let him say so either Ic or OOC in this thread.

OOC: It doesnt mean im telling the truth.

OOC: It doesnt mean im telling the truth.

OOC: Fair point

IC: MAFCCP is becoming increasingly worried by Attican Empires constant threat of violence against Terristan. IT seems they are set on destroying the country completely. We ask for an explanation of your warmongering ways Emperor.

We ask for an explanation why you continually support the world-known terrorists who live there.

We ask for an explanation why you continually support the world-known terrorists who live there.

We are not the supporters of terrorists. You are the one hwo accepted them with open arms into your country.

We simply ask that you show us proof as to why you constantly wish to attack this nation. Violence only causes hatred, hatred causes yet more violence. Its a neverending circle.

If you can remember back your Majesty, i think you will find we aided you in your first attacks on Terristan. I strongly suggest you think before you speak in future. It could cost you dearly not to.

King James III,

McLeod03

This man is of Terristani origin. Would you care to disprove that?

"I have no need to disprove that you insolent swine. (OOC: what picture. The little red cross?) You have no concrete evidence that this rogue state was involved in this attack. For all I know, you could be responsible for the attacks. God knows you supported the terrorists once. Maybe you are continuing to do so.

A picture is easily faked and distorted. How can we be so sure that you have not siply found a picture of a Terristani national and shown it to us in an attempt to fulfil your pitiful dreams of glory."


King James III

McLeod03

"And for all we know, you are behind it! Your nation has much to gain, you could aquire Attica AND FPC, and look like the good guy in front of thousands of other nations."

"And for all we know, you are behind it! Your nation has much to gain, you could aquire Attica AND FPC, and look like the good guy in front of thousands of other nations."

My country's relations with FPC are purely friendly. I have no intention of creating a Great Empire like yourself, nor of controlling another nations military and economic forces. At no stage has my nation ever ben involved in imperialistic attacks. Only in defence or retaliation.

We are not warmongeres. We stand to gain nothing from our attacks, as we d not wish to keep men in your pitiful skidmark of a country for longer than necessary.

OOC: LoL

OOC2: Should I play the part of the Petinski mobsters (who are not affiliated with the Attican government, but are angry with FPC's emperor, who happens to be a member of the family.)?

IC:

WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT MAN?? We have held no countries, nor been involved in toppling any governments.

We do not need to doctor records to seem like the "good guys", simply because we have yet to be the 'bad guys'.

Get your facts straight before i wipe your face in the dirt with my boot, puny Emperor.


King James III

McLeod03

"Listen you old man! Do your country a favour and died. Our previous emperors at least went with dignity. You are nothing but an old man who gives control of his government to his lessers!"


OOC: Shouldn't the stress of this conversation give the McLeodian emperor a heart attack or stroke or so?

"I may be old and frail, but my country is strong, valiant, and dignified. You will pay for your remarks witht he blood of your people. Just give me one reason, and your puny nation will be squashed like the bug that it is.

We are not a naturally violent people, but your insolence and dishonour has gone far enough.

King James out"

King James slumped back into his wheelchair, mumbling about "those damn Atticans. and something about "If i were a few years younger i'd stick my boot so far up that Emperors ..." and with that he fell asleep.

OOC: Are there any royal families in McLeod?

IC (acting as Petinski family):
10 cars park in front of the FPC royal palace, each with 4 armed Petinski thugs, armed with Assault rifles. They break down the Palace door, and storm in, shooting everything that moves.

OOC: Are there any royal families in McLeod?

OOC: Just the ruling one. The rest were killed off or died out under mysterous circumstances.

The King, James Tudor III, has two sons, James IV and Micheal I. He also has three daughters - Jessica, Victoria, and Elizabeth. Both Sons are married, and both haev children of their own.

James IV: Two sons - James V and Steven I.
Micheal I: one son - Charles I, one daughter - Anne.

OOC: Are you sure they have been utterly killed off? Also, is your king going to die (make it interesting :o) Also, is there any Petinski blood mixed into your family (unlikely that there isnt.)?

The protection detail agent heard the sound of automatic gunfire, and ran towards the Emperor. Himself and another agent bundled the Emperor away from the gunfir, whilst anothe six agents drew assorted pistols and SMGs and took positions covering the only other door in the room.

(OOC: the Emperor went out of one, therefore the mobsters have to enter through the other if they came from the front)

As he ran, Agent Smith activated his emergency evacuation signal beacon in his wristwatch, sending a signal to FCPOPFOR HQ.


At FCPOPFOR HQ, a team was rapidly assmebled and within ten minutes of the first car stopping, two transports full of Marines were en route. it all rested on how long the 6 RPC agents could last against unknwon numbers of enemy mobsters.

The Mobsters pushed forward, still firing. One threw a grenade into the room.

OOC: Are you sure they have been utterly killed off? Also, is your king going to die (make it interesting :o) Also, is there any Petinski blood mixed into your family (unlikely that there isnt.)?

OOC:
1) Yes they have all been killed off. That is what the RPC is for.
2) Yes he is going to die. Soon.
3) I highly doubt it. Sorry. No breeding outside of McLeod03 is tolerated in the Royal Family.

OOC: You dont know who is attacking.
OOC: Possible anything interesting will happen when he dies? Like a revolution or somethin?
OOC: But before they were killed off, is it possible?

OOC: You dont know who is attacking.
OOC: Possible anything interesting will happen when he dies? Like a revolution or somethin?
OOC: But before they were killed off, is it possible?

OOC: No chance of a revolution. The Princes are well liked.
OOC: They were killed off befor eyou were a nation. Unlikely. And before that, the Tudors were the dominant clan on the island, and were killing off other families that were a threat to them.

As the grenade rolls into the room, the agents take cover behind bpillars and heavy set thrones and furnitue.


Meanwhile, the helicopters draw ever closer.

OOC: The Attican Royal Families were around before our nation was formed. Think of it as Germany. Germany, before unification, was a set of states, run by royal families. 'Attica' only existed once the Kuklinski family of the Province of Atticos united the states.

The mobsters rush into the room, firing.

OOC:

And consider McLeod03 as Britain pre unification, but post Rome. Many clans of different nationality.

The only difference is that in this case the most dominant clan did not try to win over their enemies, they just killed every man woman and child that was associated with the opposing clan. People soon came round and the Tudors became more and more powerful.

As the mobsters rush into the room, the RPC agents open fire with controlled bursts of fire to the head.

Each man concentrates on not letting the enemy swarm through the dor, more to keep them concentrated in a smaller area.


Helo ETA is now ten minutes.

5 mobsters were killed. The rest backed off, and began lobbing grenades into the room, at different angles. 5 other mobsters began searching for an alternative way in.

The agents once again take cover. One of the grenades rolls behi a pillar sheltering one agnet, and he promptly kicks it back towards the door.

Once the detonations have cleared, five agents beging to fire back, one being ripped apart as he tried to kick a grenade back towards the door.

6 more mobsters are killed. 5 outside mobsters find an alternative entrance into the room, kick open the door, and run in firing. At the same time, the rest of the mobsters run it, firing.

ON ePRC agent gets hit, the others just constantly fir into the two groups, expending SMG ammunition and switching to sidearms.

Just as hope begins to fade, the helicopters arrive, and as one strafes the cars outside, the other lands on the rooftop, deploying heavily armed commandos to sweep the building, and evacuating the FPC Emperor quickly and safely.

OOC & IC info: cars can't just pull of to FPC royal palace. They must go through several checkpoints and then thick walss with more checkpoints. These assasins would've been killed or arrested far earlier.

Well, McLeod IS in charge of your security. Plus, since they ARE members of the family of your Emperor, they would probably have been let thru.

OOC & IC info: cars can't just pull of to FPC royal palace. They must go through several checkpoints and then thick walss with more checkpoints. These assasins would've been killed or arrested far earlier.

Well they are about to meet the 32nd Regiment Black Panthers. The mobsters stand no chance.

Well, McLeod IS in charge of your security. Plus, since they ARE members of the family of your Emperor, they would probably have been let thru.

Im not in charge of security. just another link in the chain.

As a last ditch attempt before being killed, they rush again, aiming solely at the FPC Emperor.

Well, McLeod IS in charge of your security. Plus, since they ARE members of the family of your Emperor, they would probably have been let thru.

hmm...no. McLeod03 said that he only controlled the men he sent as a bodyguard. Also, even if they were fammily of the Emperor, they would've never been let trhough with weapons on them or in the car. Also, we never agreed that my emperor had familly ties to your bloodlines so...

As a last ditch attempt before being killed, they rush again, aiming solely at the FPC Emperor.

The Black Panthers open fire as one. 10-mm rounds from all 12 M-87 rifles tear itnto the mobsters. Each man empties two full magazines (total of 360 rounds) into the group.

There is no chance of escape.

FPC we did in Tgrams, remember, you said "I doubt that my emperor has no ties to the Petinski line", and i replied "He does."


The mobsters are all killed.

OOC: Was the emperor harmed?

OOC: I was kinda... not at a computer for a bit. Just to get my facts straight... there have been a couple more terrorists attacks? and there is currently a gun battle going down inside of FPC aimed at taking out the current emporer?

nevermind... the gun battle just ended.

OOC: Pretty Much

IC:

Over the Attican phone system, phones go off at every house of the Royal Familie's. Reichsgehemdienst taps a few, gets bursts of information, which they combine, such as; "Current Emperor;Kuklinski;Kill;Destroy Family;Vendetta". In response, and fearing for Kaiser Otto Petinski's life, they send 100 Kaiserheer troops to guard the Kaiser's life. The best guess the Gehemdienst could come up with was that the FPC Emperor still had some friends in the Petinski family, and, using his contacts, had that faction split from the Kuklinski/Petinski family. Now the new Petinski family has renamed itself the Debinskis, and has declared vendetta on the Kuklinski/Petinski line. There is an underground war going on, and no government can stop it... until the powers work together to remove the bad parts of the royal families.

Two hit attempts were made on Kaiser Otto Petinskis life, all failed. 3 Kuklinski Royals were murdered, 2 Petinski Royals, in Attica.

(Bump)

OOC: If any other nations with royal families want to take part, like other families splitting apart as repercussions, families taking sides, et cetera... thats fine with me.

The Federation cites the lawlessness in FPC, which could encourage further expansionist and hegemonic acts on the part of the Attican Empire, as justification for extending the submarine force tour for another two years. Nearly every submariner in the Navy will have gained at least some experience in the waters near Attica and the FPC by the end of the two-year period. A full 35% have at least a month of duty in the region at this point.

(Bump)

The submarine patrols continue and the crews on station are becoming very familiar with the weather patterns, shipping lanes, and hydrodynamics of the region. Staggered tour lengths (anywhere from one to six months at a time) prevent anyone who might try to monitor the fleet action from determining exactly when the submarines are coming on duty or returning home until immediately before they arrive/depart.

Rumors begin circulating in intelligence circles that the Federation is developing a large submarine aircraft carrier based on technologies derived from experience with the Narwhal- and Galapagos-class submarines.

*Bump*

*Secret IC* (well, not secret, but there is no way you can know this. No bugs work inside the throne room, and almost the entire RPC is guarding the palace.)

King James II was helped into the throne room by his aides, one supporting each arm. The man looked weak, frail and withdrawn. He had called together his sons and advisors for a metting

"Thankyou for coming to see me in this time of need Sirs and Sns" he began "As you all know, i am old, and the time of my death is approaching. It is the duty of the first born son to take the throne, and that is you, James" he said pointing to the elder of the two princes.

"You Micheal" he said to the other Prince "will be placed in charge of all Mcleodian military forces. You will work with your brother to make this nation great once more. With his knowledge and your military leadership, this task can be achieved."

Then, to both sons he said "These gentlemen yu see before you have helped me to no end in our past, and all will be rewatrded for their aid. Use their knowledge to help and guide you, and learn from them as you have from me, and i from them."

Finally, he turned to his advisors. "FOr your great services to this country and its Monarchy, you will all be richly rewarded". The advisors looked at each other in confusion. They hadn't seen this coming from the old king.

"Each of you will recieve 20 hectares of land, with a large house in each estate. Along with this, you will each be given £25,000,000 bonuses to top up your salaries and pensions" said the King.

With htat, King James III turned around and lfet the men in the room in a state of confusion nad mild panic.

As he passed through the doors into his bedroom, he looked longingly at the painting of his dead wife Priscilla on the wall. A tear rolled down the gnarled and wrinkled cheek, falling softly to the floor below.

With a final whispered breath, he said simply "I'll see you soon Prissy". With that, King James III, crown monarch of McLeod03 since the unification, passed away.

OOC: Remember, when two people rule a country, they usually both fight for total control

In Attica, the violence between the families continues. 3 Debinskis are found killed, 4 Kuklinski/Petinskis. 3 more attempts were made on the Kaiser's life. I will not state FPCs family casualties (Thats his job.)

OOC: It does read that way doesn't it. Basically, they aren't. One is crown King, the other Comamnder-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

OOC: They both technically rule the country. The one who is king will probably attempt to gain control of the military, the one with the military might try to gain total control.

OOC: Dude. Shut the hell up. These two are inseperable. Blood ties mean more to McLeodians than military force. If all you are going to do is argue with everyone, i don't know why they RP with you.

OOC: Dood, you shut up. I am just telling you what usually happens historically. If you are going to tell anyone what happens in history to shut up or ill ignore, you, why dont you go somewhere else.

OOC: Dood, you shut up. I am just telling you what usually happens historically. If you are going to tell anyone what happens in history to shut up or ill ignore, you, why dont you go somewhere else.

OOC: Thats RL. This is NS. The sheer number of nukes set off here should mean nobody has been left alive. Entire planets would be used up for resources everyday. T

he two will NOT rule as a shared power thing, James IV has always been heir to the throne, and Michael has grown up knowing that, and instead focused on diplomatic skills.

OOC: Just because I stated historical fact does NOT give you the right to snap at me.

OOC: Just because I stated historical fact does NOT give you the right to snap at me.

OOC: Fair point. BUt all i have to say is - First or Second Triumvirate. THose ruled the Roman Republic for years in relative peace, simply because it was beneficial to do so. And the men involved there weren't even brothers.

Nope. In the first triumvirate, Julius Caesar proceeded to kill the rest of the triumvirates (such as Pompeii). In the second, Mark Antony pretty much removed the other guy, and then had a civil war with Octavius Caesar (which Octavius won, becoming Augustus Caesar.)

OOC:I dunno if you mean that those famillies are waging war in FPC byt if that's the case. It's only a small minority and it's only waging war (in FPC) to control drug and alchol businesses.

OOC: Read my longer post. Remember, your emperor is part of the extreme right (not political designation, just the side of the family) of the Petinski family. Either by his hand or not, that part of the family broke off, and declared vendetta on the Kuklinski/Petinski family. Now there is a royal family war going on. Many are being murdered in Attica, at least make it interesting in FPC also (this might bring about the end of the terrorism in the end).

Nope. In the first triumvirate, Julius Caesar proceeded to kill the rest of the triumvirates (such as Pompeii). In the second, Mark Antony pretty much removed the other guy, and then had a civil war with Octavius Caesar (which Octavius won, becoming Augustus Caesar.)

But initially, Pompey, Caesar and Crassius all ruled in relative peace.

I think what im trying to say is, RL history doesn't apply in NS forums.

End of discussion. Back to IC please.

And you heartless man, you said nothing about the death of the King. Tsk tsk.

OOC: You said it was in private.

OOC: You said it was in private.

OOC: I meant OOC. you seemed eager for him to die yesterday.

ok.

OOC: Woot hes dead! Woot!

*Dances*

What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
What's this?

What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
There's people singing songs

What's this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?
What's this?

is that good enough?

(premature posting. read through too quickly.)

OOC: ACS, it was in private. you dont know hes dead.

TOP SECRET

TO: ACS, Felimid MacFal, FPC


At 17:31 this afternoon, King James III was found dead in his room in the palace in McLeodia.

With the devolution of relations between this country and Attican empire, i request this inforation be held scret, and not be released to Attican command.

This is a new era for McLeod03, and i ask you to stand by us in our time of need, for we will rise again to honour my father b making this nation feared by its enemies.


We thankyou for taking the time to read this message,

King James IV,

McLeod03

FPC news:
"Though there are not many attican families in FPC, some related to the bloodlines in Attica are waging war against each other wanting to control the drug industry and also to seek personnal revenge. 1 member of the Petinski fammily was found hanged in his bedroom. It appears that he was attacked in his sleep and killed right away. IN the major towns of FPC (New-Quebec, Liliann and New-Toronto) there are sectors that are mainly populated by those famillies (OOC: a little like China towns or little Italys). Here are some stats:
there are
10,300 people affiliated to the Petinski
7,000 to the Kuklinski
& 8,000 to the Debinski clan.

It ain't much compared to the rest of the population but still enough to give police officers headaches. Authorities hope this will not become an open war in the streets of FPC cities. If it does, all related people to these famillies will be...deported."

OOC: FPC, remember, This entire storyline is the basis that our people are genetically similar (like poles, russians, and ukrainians are all of slavic descent), so there are a few royal families that spread from FPC to Attica, but are so large they might not be recognized (like your emperor and my emperor are from the same line, but different sides of teh family, which is why it broke apart.)

Secret message class 4
--Sent to McLeod03--
--From the emperor FPC--
My most sincere condolences for the departure of a such noble king. I will keep this secret from the public for it could be said to Attican soldiers in the streets. I hope McLeod and FPC will still work together as before.

Secret Communique from the Secretary-General's Office

King James IV,
I personally offer my condolences on behalf of all of the Federation and look forward to continuing your father's legacy of cooperation and friendship with McLeod. We stand ready to defend that bond developed over these past years.

Secret IC somewhat

Kaiser Otto Petinski: "I am going to call that old bastard again and pick on him some more, heheh."

He dials the number for the McLeodian palace.

OOC: FPC, remember, This entire storyline is the basis that our people are genetically similar (like poles, russians, and ukrainians are all of slavic descent), so there are a few royal families that spread from FPC to Attica, but are so large they might not be recognized (like your emperor and my emperor are from the same line, but different sides of teh family, which is why it broke apart.)

OOC:Man, I don't want to be rude but it's a little too far. We have some ties but not that much. We are not genetically similar like for instance, your language is more like German and ours is like Russian. My emperor had some ties to the Petinski (is uncle's brother was one) but he's still from the Komarninski.

OOC: How did i know this was coming?

IC: The Royal Secretary answered the phone in the outer room of the Kings Royal Office.

"Hello?"

OOC: Polish can be considered a mixture of German and Russian :) We are still somewhat genetically linked. Also, his uncles brother is still his uncle lol, and that means that his uncle is either his mothers or fathers brother, which makes him a Petinski/Komarninski. Hell, one of the Czars of Russia, historically, was a Hohenzollern (the Imperial family of Germany from the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire to 1918).

"May I speak to the Emperor, this is urgent."

"May I speak to the Emperor, this is urgent."

"I believe you have the wrong number. Or did you perhaps mean the King, or His Royal Highness to you?"

OOC: Attica, I'M not saying that there aren't Attican famillies in FPC. I'm just saying that there ain't that much. Still, those gang wars are begining to erupt.

"The King."

OOC: I know, I am just saying, if there is a vendetta, it will be very very bloody, and probably will spread across the FPC families (Depending on you.). Just to make it interesting :/.

"I'm sorry sir, but the King is too busy to speak with leaders of country's begging for forgiveness right now. Call back later. Like when perhaps, hell freezes over." (OOC: The royal secretary was a good friend of the King.)

OOC: How did your country know who was on the phone? Unless you have caller ID?

FPC news update:

"The family war is raging on as 5 Petinski were killed today trying to blow up a Debinski hangar. They shot at each other for over 10 minutes but the Petinski had to retreat killing only 2 Debrenski. Organised crime is at it's worst. Also, 6 Kuklinski were found dead, there hands tied behind their backs."

OOC: How did your country know who was on the phone? Unless you have caller ID?

OOC: Caller ID using voice identification is fitted to all phones in the palace. Records the voice, matches it to a name and number, then saves it. Its a good security device. You don't get many prank callers. In fact, none that have ever called twice ;)

OOC: How did your country know who was on the phone? Unless you have caller ID?

OOC: It is relatively easy to run a quick trace these days. The Royal Secretary would also likely be familiar with the voices of other world leaders... especially those very much involved with McLeodian politics.

"The Emperor dials the number again, but has an immigrant, one with more of a Russian accent (such as FPC) talk."

"Hello?"

"Hello, I must speak to the King immediately, this is a matter of national urgency!" said the FPC Speaker.

OOC: Sorry guys, i was taking a 3 hour class just now... anyway... thats somthing.

IC: --President Damocles of Felimid MacFal--
--Seceret to McLeod--

We are sorry to hear of the unfortunate death of such a great ruler. If there is anything that our nation could do to help yours through this time of transition, we would be more than happy.

IC2: The military base being built by Felimid MacFal inside of FPC was just finished today, holding an entire of 10,000 infantry and support personell and 400 Cactaphract tanks. The airbase construction is nearly complete. As of yet there are no fighters there, but a garrison of 1,000 infantry and support is present, along with 50 Cataphract tanks.

*Seceret IC: President Damocles to General Treynok*

D: Proceed with the construction of the underground storage facilities.
T: Yessir.

"Hello, I must speak to the King immediately, this is a matter of national urgency!" said the FPC Speaker.

"And your name sir?"

The secretary runs a trace on the call immediately.

<Trace is 5% complete>

Boris Ydeloslav. Assistant Prime Minister of FPC.

Boris Ydeloslav. Assistant Prime Minister of FPC.

A small red light flashes on the pohne unit, indicating the recording of a new voice.

"Good day Mr Ydeloslav. Why didn't the Emperor or Prime Minister contact us instead?"

<Trace 50% Complete - REGION confirmed>

"They are involved in discussions about the elevation of violence in Attica and FPC. I was told via pager and Palm to contact your King about an urgent situtation that might require his assistance."

"They are involved in discussions about the elevation of violence in Attica and FPC. I was told via pager and Palm to contact your King about an urgent situtation that might require his assistance."

"Very well. The King is currently using the washrooms, and will be available shortly. Hold please"

<Trace 65% complete - REGION - Emperors Alliance. COUNTRY -90% confirmed>

The Kaiser, worried about a possible trace, has the other men turn on a trace disrupter, which attempts to trick any tracer into thinking it is another country (in this attempt, it routes it thru a stopping switch in FPC to attempt to trick the tracer into thinking its FPC.)

RP & IC: At the same time that the Attican emperor was talking to McLeod, FPC's assistan prime minister called McLeod to discuss some matters with the army bases.

*the assistant dials the number*
Hello! I'm Sergei Trolinkanov, assistan prime minister. I'd like to speak with the emperor of McLeod if it's possible.

OOC: He didnt pick up. YOu have to wait for him to pick up.

IC: At the same time, Gehemdienst operatives in FPC start to get the feeling something is awry, and begin to investigate.
