ooc backgrouind: Iaceo was once run by a terrorist name Latitio Iaceo. Latitio want nothing more then see the world burn to the ground so that she could take control of those who survived. To achieve this goal she launched a series of terrorist attacks against other nation in an attempt to get them to fight among themselfs. Several month ago the Government of Tappee captured Latitio, destroyed the Iaceo military, and installed a new government. Now those Iaceo soliders who surived the war have united under a new leader Dillian Phobo in an attempt to change things back. They Formed a rebel group know as ‘The Remnant’. This RP will be to determine if the people of Iaceo can redeme themselfs, or fall back into darkness. I know that there are coutries that would like to see 'the Remnant return, and other that don't. So please you are welcome to play along play along. So let begin

IC: A young Woman in her mid twenties sat at a desk reading through government reports. Her name was Jade Allenson. If a single person could be attributed to the fall of Latitio Iaceo it was her.

Jade was an Tappee intellegence officer who had infiltrated Latitio's organization, and whne the time was right she turn Latitio over to Tappee. Now she had been sent here by her father the President of Tappee Smith Allenson to help rebuild Iaceo after the war. She knew that due to her betrayal that she'd now have many enemies.

Out of the corner her eye's she seen a bright flash of light in the window beside her. The window exploded nocking the young woman to the ground, the entire building began to rumble. Moments later it was all over. Jade return to feet and made her way over to the window, trying to determine what had occured. out in the darkness she could see the smoldering ruins of van in the parking lot, someone had detonated a car bomb. But the was not what was causing her to worry further off in the distance she could make out flashes of gun fire. They where under attack. The bombing was meant only to confuse them.

She reached for her gun, pulling out of the holster. She placed her hand on top sliding the top of the gun back, chambering a round. They wheren't going to get her with out a fight.

"General Spitz, we're in desperate need of assistance. we're about the be overrun here. We need to get Prime Minster Kao out here. If you can sent a Helicopter to the main coutrtyard for extraction it would be appricated. " she knew no matter what happened that they would have to make their final stand there if no one came. "We she be there in 10 min. Thanks I've got to go" she hung up the phone and prayed that help would arrive soon. she pick the phone up agin to dial another number bu the line was now dead, they where inside the building.

She pushed a button on the handle of her gun causing the clip to drop to the ground. She reaches back to her belt grabing another. In smooth motion she grab the clip then slides it in clicking a switch to chamber the round. She got three clip left.

With her gun drawn and keeping low to the ground she make her way in the hallway. She see General Williams who's office is across from her's shooting out the window.

"Williams" she yells. she waits until she has his attention "We need to get Kao, and get the court yard. We've got an extrction inbound" William nodes in agreement the two make their way to the last office to find Mr Kao cureld up in a ball under the desk.

Once Williams pulled Kao from under the desk the three began their journey to the court yard.

As they turned the last corner to the main court yards they realized that now all that stood between them and the court yard was two rebel soliders.

Jade kneeled as she brought her gun to bear on her target. She sqeezed off a single round catching the man square in the chest. THe man realed back against the wall. in shock he began randomly firing in their direction. The other men had already been killed by a barage of gun fire from General William gun. Jade dove cover. William took one in shoulder.
This time Jade fire three two hit their target the third missed. She watched as the mans head fell toward his chest.

Kao help Williams to his feet and they made their way to the court yard, all they could do no was wait and prey.

Slam

The very sound took every one in the room back. Standing behind a desk at the back of the room was Dillian Phobo. Every thing about this man indicated that he was not pleased, everything from his posture, to his voice.

“Can someone please tell me how they were able to escape alive.” Dillian looked out towards the other men in the room. “You all gave me assurances that there would be no escape for Jade and Mr Kao. What went wrong”

One of his men stepped forward. “Shortly after our forces entered the building Special Forces landed in the court yards and began clearing the building systematically. We didn’t stand a chance.”

Dillian took a deep breath trying to calm himself. “I thought that they didn’t have any special forces in the area which could respond?”

The man thought for a moment “Well they don’t, it was…” But before he could finish his words Dillian reached out grabbing his collar. Phobo pulled the man in striking out with his right hand. The blow sent the man sprawling backwards, until he hit the wall.

“Now” Dillian voice was calm, as if nothing had happened. “I’m going to tell you all this once. We are not going to commence with any operation from here on in with out having all the fact. We simply can not allow for any defeats. If you can’t get me the information that I need then you are of no value to me.” He reaches for his gun pulling out of the holster. With in seconds he takes aim at the men he’d just hit firing three round into his chest killing him instantly “Gentle men let this serve as an example to those who fail me, Now I want you to find out just who helped Miss Allenson the other day”

The remain men where quick to empty the room, non of them wanted to anger Phobo anymore then what he already was.

“Yes, I know that” Jade sat at her desk talking on the phone trying to ease her fathers mind. “I’ve already increased security” She moves the receiver away from her head as he begins to yell. “You sent me here to do a job, now let me do my job” she slam the phone in a fit of anger. Jade notices that her receptionist, Jill, was standing in the room.

Jill looks down at Jade “It take that your dad taking the news of you staying rather had.”

Jades sighs “He forget that I know how to take of myself” Jade notices that Jill is holding a folder. “What have you got for me” she inquires.

Jill looks down at the folder; she had almost forgot why she was here. “Here’s the intel you wanted n the Remnant that you wanted” she put the folder of the desk “Is there anything else you wanted.”

“No Jill that’s ok,” she pauses for moment “Actually there is. If my father calls back, tell him that I’m away for the rest of the days”

Jill smiles “no Problem”

Jade sat back for a moment she could help but think that last night attacks where only the begining of her problems. She wasn't about to leave Kao here alone. He was a politicans, not a solider. this was out of his league. She had to see this through.

OOC:
I would like to join. If you do not wish me here, then I will edit my post.

IC:
A helicopter, taking a detour home, crossed over Iaceo airspace in order to cut the trip in half. The Little Bird, with its advanced technology and equipment, picked up radio transmissions frantcially begin made by someone; someone giving orders to attack.

Seeing tracers come closer to a city, obviously a battle ensuing and smoke from a destroyed vehicle, Damon decided it was best to stop and see if this nation needed help. He was not to know what he would be getting himself in and whom he helping. He landed on a building next the blown up van.

The overwhelming and highly known sounds of battle filled his head, and he was briefly reminded of his time in war.

"Once you are chirstened in the battlefield, it never leaves you," he muttered to himself walking in a doorway at the top of the building. A flight of stairs led down and he nonchalantly walked down them listening to the sounds of fighting outside and the sound of confusion within. The sounds of his shoes however, was the only thing he focused on. He blocked out everything else.

Jades thoughts were interupted by the beeping of her intercome system. She took a moment to collect herself.

she pushed the send button on the intercom. "Yes Jill, what is it"

"There some here to see you" said the voice on the side

Jade wondered who it could be. Williams was still recovering. It could have been her father, given how their last conversation ended.

"Who is Jill"

'It's a representive from Der Fuhrer Dyszel, he would like a moment of your, according to your schedual your free for the afternoon"

She began to wonder what they wanted

"Very well, send him in. Oh and Jill could you grab us some coffee"

Damon stood there nonchalantly waiting, when someone escorted him into a room. He entered the room and stood awkwardly in the center of it.

He had no idea what was going on who he was meeting with, just that he wanted to find out what was going on and if they needed help with the matter.

Jill moved about the office trying to get every thing ready for the meeting that was about start.

"Excuse me sir if you'll just follow me"

With the man behind her she made her way down a series of hallways until they reached a dead end. Jill turned and entered the office on the right, opneing the door.

Jade looked up from her desk as the door open, and Jill entered follow by a single man.

"Thanks Jill, now if you could grab us some coffee that would great." She trun attention the man standing before her. "Have seat make your self comfortable." She wait for the man to take the a seat "Allow me to intraduce myself. My name is Jade Allenson, Tappee Intellegence, I am the Tribunal Liason here in Iaceo until a stable government can be formed. Now That you know who I am, I am curious as to who you are, and to what I owe the honor of you visit."

"My name is Damon. I was just on my way back from the infamous Volcano, when I took a shortcut that led me over here. I saw the signs of warfare and stopped by. I just came to see what was going on, it looks intense out there."

He sat on the seat looking around nonchalantly.

"I thought that perhaps I could be of some assistance. I just need to know more about the situation. War is a terrible thing. I have experienced the devastating effects of war and they have left a large impression on me. I was a trained and skilled assassin, trained and excelled in the deadly art, but when on the actual field, I found that I could not kill an innocent person. I was relieved of my field work and sent to office work, which nearly killed me. But that is a loong story. Basically, I am here to provide assistance. Could you tell me more about this situation?"

Jade sat back in her chair for a moment

"THat the thing about war, is it takes away our innocence away at an early age." she pause as Jill enter the room and place two cups of coffee on her desk. she motions for Damon to help himself "Here's the situation. 13 month ago the Capital of Tappee was destroyed by a nuclear blast. The attack as linked to Iaceo. this however was only the begining. A series of attack followed, not only in Tappee, but in other countries as well. After an attack against the Emperor of Treznor, a colalition forces was established and the country of Iaceo was invade. Four month ago the Leader of Iaceo was captured, ending the conflict. The government of Tappee wanted to stablize the country so that no more terrorist group could call it home. Last night forces loyal to the former leader called 'The Remnate' attempt to regain control in an attempt to return things back to the why they were. As you probably seen on the way in small engagment have broken out around the city. If they are succsesful, we could see a wave of terrorism unparralled to anything we've seen before. Something that I will do all in my power to stop. We could use all the help that we could get at this moment."

the emperor leaned back on his chair, reading the document presented him," ask them if they require assistance, this remnant sounds troublesome, position the tiu in orbit, just in case."

Damon nodded.

"I see. Then shall I assist you in this war?"

He sat there picking up to cup of coffee. It felt refreshing from his long flight here. He quickly finished the cup, but continued to hold it.

"I could call in forces from The Dictatorship if you would like, but they would take some time to mobalize and get here. Approximately a day or two. We are fast with moving out, but it is just the matter of distance. What do you say, do you require the help of stealth fighter and Special Ops?"

After hearing Damons she takes a moment. In her head she begins running through every possible scenerio in her mind. After a few moments she responds.

"We could very well use any help that we can. Your special forces would be a great asset. One that I can not turn down. Very well, I well clear your people for landing when ever they arrive. They will recieve every thing that they need while they are here. I would like to thank you Damon, your help here very well be what we need."

She extents her hand towards Damon as a sign of good faith.

Through the narrow scope he could make out a single rebel solider making his patrol route.

"This Raven, contact made request permission to neutralize target"

"Negative Raven do not engage until go code issued. Maintain lock" replied on the other side of the line

"Copy” Now all the sniper could do was wait until he was cleared to act. He hated the waiting.

_____________________________________________________________

Jade made her why into the command centre. Even though that she woke up over an hour ago she was still feeling a bit sleepy.

The room was a flurry of activity as a number of people were working on their laptop trying to get update information. General Williams was sitting in a chair at the main table; across from him was Prime Minster Kao. Williams arm was still in sling from his gun wound.

Holding her second cup of coffee for the day she sat down at the only remaining seat at the table.

“Talk to me Williams” muttered as she sat down.

Williams uses his good arm to toss a folder her way. “We’re acting on the latest Intel.” He pauses as Jade looks over the folder. “We found an rebel base. Members from the 2nd X are already in position for the strike.”

Once she had finished looking over the report Jade looks over the top the folder toward Williams “What the game plan here, according the report this is nothing more then a barracks. Why spec ops, we could call in an air strike”

“Too many civilian buildings near by, we need a precision drop on the building. The plans simple, we’ve got two teams. Team one will act as a distraction while team two moves in from behind planting the building with explosives. We’ve got Sat Com online which is giving us a live feed of the area “ William’s motions towards the T.V on the wall.” Since it’s spec Op’s I can’t give them authorization to engage, only you can”

Jade takes a moment looking over the T.V anglicizing the terrain. They’ve got a birds eye view of the entire area. She takes sip of her coffee while in her mind trying to play out the entire situation. “Very well, who have sent out.”

Looking over some paper William’s reads out the teams call signs. “R-45, and XJ-4. R-45 got the lead position.”

“Thanks” Jade reaches over to the middle of desk grabbing the phone. She punches in a series of codes that directly link her to the R-45 Commander. “This is Vector Prime, operation Adeptus is a go” and with that she turn her head to the T.V.

_____________________________________________________________

A single shoot shatters the silence. The sniper watches through his scope as the lone solider falls to his knee’s then collapse to the ground after the bullet passes through his heart.

“Target has been neutralized”

The snipers attention is quickly drawn to the buildings main entrance as rebel soldiers come out investigating the noise. With out hesitation the sniper opens fire of the unsuspecting soldiers. Three more fall until the others realize what is occurring and dive for cover. With in moments the other members of the Spec Op team jump in operation, gun fire erupts in the street.

_____________________________________________________________

Jade watches the scene unfold in the T.V. The rebel soldiers fight bravely, but are no watch for the battle hardened Spec Op team that now faces them in the street. Those unfortunate to be caught in the open died where they stood. The battle comes to a stand still as no one moves from their cover. All R-45 must do now is keep them pinned down while the bombs are being placed. Jade watches with much satisfaction as the team move about, almost as if they were a single entity, in destroying any brave enough to attempt any opposition.

_____________________________________________________________

A hail of bullet impacted the wall that they where hiding behind. A group of them had run outside when they heard gunfire. They where ready to kill the infidels, but soon found that now it was them who where now dieing in large numbers. As soon as they had step out the door three of their friends had hit the ground dead.

“Where did they come from” he said out loud trying to make sense of the situation “How could they…” He watched in horror as a friend went to looked over the wall “No don’t…” His words were to late. He watched in horror as his friends head snapped back from the resulting shot.

He reached for his gun lifting it over the wall and firing randomly at the enemy on the other side.

_____________________________________________________________

”Raven, keep them pinned down, two is almost done.”

The sniper watch as another man was foolish enough to look over the wall, in which a number of the rebel force where hiding behind. With out any emotion he squeezed the trigger. After the bullet connected with the target he took a quick survey of the area to see if any others would tempt fate.

”Two is good to. T-minus three”

_____________________________________________________________

Out of the blue the fighting stopped. After wait seemed a lifetime the man decided that it was safe to take a look. With much hesitation he looked over the wall. Much to his relief the street was now empty. The enemy had fled. Even though the enemy had surprise, They where now victorious.

It was not long until the other where celebrating. However, it was short lived.

_____________________________________________________________

The poor fools Jade thought to her self. When the Spec Op teams had pulled out the Rebel forces had thought that it was due to their actions and where now celebrating in the street.

If they only knew the truth

She watched, as the scene became a giant fireball. The explosives had been strategically located caused the 10-story building to come down on top them. That coupled with the explosion meant that none of them where coming out of this alive.

It took several minutes for the dust to settle show the full extent of the strike. She let out a sigh of relief as the other buildings near by where untouched. The scorecard was now even between Phobo and her.

Phobo had the attack on the palace; she had the attack on the barracks. Each attack wasn’t a crippling blow, but now each of them knew the other was vulnerable to attack.

Damon shook her hand and nodded. He left the room and headed for the staircase back toward his Little Bird. Up on the roof, inside his Little Bird, he contacted The Depths of Hell (our most predominant base in The Dictatorship).

"Damon reporting."

"..."

"This is Damon reporting."

"..."

"Depths of Hell, respond."

"..."

He sat there confused. Fear filled him. No one was responding. Something was wrong back home. There was always someday in The Depths of Hell, even after he was captured, there was someone left behind. Something was wrong.

He dialed Head Quarters.

"Damon reporting."

"..."

Damn it. This is Damon reporting. Somebody pick up for Christ's sake. Do not do this to me."

"..."

"Damn you. Pick up," he yelled.

"...," silence responded.

He hung up once again. He began to speak to himself, "The Depths of Hell unoccupied, where the hell is Der Fuhrer and Head Quarters unoccupied, where the hell is Admiral Hunny*Dew? What is going on? Something is wrong."

A thought blazed through him. He quickly entered a code into the headset he was using to dial out from.

"Damon reporting."

"..."

"Not you too."

"That is where you are wrong my Damon," a little girl's voice is heard over the radio. "Why do you call, my Damon?"

"Red Queen, what the hell is going on?"

"Oh Damon, sad matters have happened. Sad matters indeed. They almost all died. They may all be dead. Der Fuhrer is gone, Atticus with her. Admiral Hunny*Dew left to find them taking Jon Luther. No one but me is left. They all left me. Even the maintaince crew has left. Whitecastle has rebeled and has taken out all of The Reich's national leaders. Damon, I fear...I fear that we may have lost it all."

Damon sat, mouth agape. That explained alot to him, but meant terror back home.

"Red Queen. I need you to form a corps of the Special Ops Units and send them to me. I need them here and immediately. I know the situation back home is dire, but I need these troops."

"For my Damon, anything."

Damon sat there, resting his head in his hands. He thought "At least it is not me this time."

He went back down the stairs and sat on chair in the corridor with his head buried in his hands.

The one thing that no one could control now in Iaceo was the media. Now that Latitio nolonger had a gun to the back of their heads they where running around the country freely. Today they were reporting on a explosion that leveled the build. however that facts where not clear at this moment the news station had not recieved any infromation from the government.

Dillian reached over grabing the T.V remote from his desk turnig the T.V off. He knew all too well what had occured. He had lost 215 of his men that were unlucky enought to be in that building.

He had undereastimated her resolve. he figured that if hide his force amoung the civilian population that they would safe from these types of attack.

But his opponent was more cunning then even he had thought. THe entire building had been destroyed, an not a single causulity.

Next time he'll force to accept civilian casulity.

With the exception of her thoughts Jade sat alone. She sat on a bench in the main courtyard. The air smelled of freshly planted flowers. The grounds keepers had worked hard to restore the garden after the attack.

The building now more then a place for the government to operate; now it was a symbol. It symbolized the changes that were occurring in Iaceo. When they had arrived there were few working lights, it was barren, lifeless. Now it was brightly lit, with a number of gardens covering it’s many court yards. It had come to symbolize the countries redemption from the darkness.

It was Ironic that she of all people was now here. When she was undercover she been force to do things that she’d regret for the rest of her life, but everyone had told her what she did saved the lives of countless other. Now mater how many she saved by her actions. It never would make it any easier for her. This was as much her personal battle to make things right, as it was for the rest of the country.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw movement coming towards. Out of instinct she quickly turned around, her hand reaching for her gun.

The man was startled by her response. He took step back slightly raising his hands. Jade relaxed when she realized whom it was.

“Prime Minster Kao, I wasn’t expecting anyone” she noticed that some of the colour had left his face. “I’m sorry, old habit I’m afraid. What can I do for you”

He waited for her hand to move away from the gun. “May I join Miss Allenson” Once he had her approval he takes a seat on the bench beside her “Are you Intel people always this jumpy?”

A smile comes across her face “Afraid so, comes with the territory. You do what you have to in order to survive” She was surprised that Kao was even talking to her. The two only had needed conversation since her arrival, but given their past, she couldn’t blame him.

Kao nodded in Agreement “You do what you need to survive hey” His words cut right through Jade; she knew where this was going. “Tell Miss Allenson, when you were working undercover, where there things that you had to do in order to survive?, things you could have avoided”

Jade lets out a sigh, she thinks for a moment trying to find the right words but doubts there are anything. “Mr Kao.” She pauses again “I avoid any situation that I could, but there where other that I could not avoid. If my cover was blown Latitio would still be in power, and many more innocent lives would be lost. I saved more then I hurt. It was...” Her words end when Kao jumps to his feet.

“All part of the job right” Jade can hear the anger in his voice. He leans down so the two are at eye level. “You can tell you self that you saved many lives, but try and tell that to my family” in a fit of anger he turns and storms off.

“Kao wait” she yells to him. But her words fall on deaf ears.

She falls back on to the bench trying fight the flood of emotions. Trying to keep back the tears that begin to swell in her eyes. Despite all her training she still human.

Damon sat there still, awaiting the arrival of his troops. He sat still, immobile, much like a statue. He figured in approximately a few more hours his Special Ops Team would be here.

However, his mind was deeper set on the condition of the leaders. He thought to himself, "What did The Red Queen mean by Der Fuhrer and Atticus gone? Are they dead? What is going on in Whitecastle? I bet that bastard Dante is behind all of this. If I could have the heart to kill someone, it would have been him. Damn him. I bet he is behind all of this."

Damon was deeply transfixed in his thoughts. He feared the worse, but had more important matters at hand. The situation here flooded his thoughts now.

He knew that this situation required his full attention, so he had to put homeland matters behind him. He reassured himself, "Remember, I left. I am on R and R."

<Sealed SatCom Transmission Double Encoded CS25 Encription>
"Head, this is Eyeball. Things have gone sideways here. Remains of the old gang have crawled out from the rocks and are trying to reclaim something resembling control, large amount of gunfire, several explosions have taken place, government and civil casualities unknown. Inform Body."

"Head to Eyeball, Report received. Body asks Condition State and if surgery is needed, if so Condors and StingBats can be deployed your area Code 3"

"Inform Body, Condition State 3, Surgery not immediatly indicated but Condors and StingBats would be welcome."

"Comfirm, Body says 4 and 2 will be sent. Eagle and Hawk will lead."

"Copy, Head 4 and 2 with Eagle and Hawk. Eyeball out."
<Sealed SatCom Transmission End>

Jade moved through one of the many corridors. She was still wiping the tears from her eye's, trying to pull her self back together. She stopped near a wtaer fountain and splashed some water in her face. With her face still in her hands is leaned against to the wall, taking a deep breath.

The fresh water was soothing. Using her sleeve she dried her face. Thats when out of the corner of eye she noticed Damon sitting alone at the ended of the corridor.

When she was sure that she had it all together she decided to walk over and talk to him. As she approuched him she noticed that he looked about the same as she felt at this moment.

"Mr Damon, you look," she pauses trying to decide how to procedd "Well you look aweful, like you haven't slept in some time. If you'd like there are some sleeping quarter here in the building. Your people aren't schedualed to arrive for a few hours, you could use the time to get some rest."

Damon looks up grateful. "Thank you," he said as he rose slowly. He followed her to the quarters, but in vain.

As soon as he got there he heard the sound of Black Hawks hoovering above. He knew instantly that they were of The Reich, for he has memorized the sound of them.

He spoke quietly, "Well, I guess my men are here."

"Very well, if it's ok I would like to come along. I can help get them setup, as long as it's ok with you."

Dillian look through his high power binoculars from a top of a hill on the other side of the city.

He watched with much satisfaction as his soldiers jump out from inside the van rushing into the radio station.

putting down the binoculars he turns to the man standing beside him.

"Their in" looking down at his watch "If we don't hear from him in five minutes send in the second team."

The two men wait patiently for the next few minutes for radio contact

"This is Super Power, to Gain. objective complete. moivng to radio silence."

upon hearing the news the two men pack their stuff, and make their way out.

_____________________________________________________________

General Williams was finishing up his daily paper work when one of his aids came runnig into his office.

"Have you heard sir"

Williams looks up from his desk. "Heard what?" he asked

The aid walks over and turn the radio

"Name is Moore and I'm memeber of the Remnant, we taken control of his radio station, if the current government does not return control of the government over to Dillian Phobo we will begin killing hostages. you Have 72 hour to comply"

Williams allowed his body to slump into a seat. Jade was not going to be happy about this.

The Black Hawks landed and one by one soldiers poured out. A corps of The Reich's Special Ops, stood at attention awaiting Damon to greet them.

Damon wearily walked back up the stairs, the troops already at attention.

He stood before them, not speaking.

As Damon made his way up the stairs Jade turned and started her way back towards her office. Now that Damon's troops where here she'd have some paper work to do. As she rounded the corner she ran head long in to her assistant Jill. From her posture Jade could tell that something was very wrong.

"What a matter Jill?" She inquired.

'There's been a situation, General William has ordered the Command team to meet in the situation Room." Jill pauses as Jade takes up postion beside her, and the two begin walking down the hall. "There also one other thing. Ma'am."

"What"

"Eagle One has requested permission to enter our air space."


Jade stops dead in her tracks "When"

"15 minutes ago. Prime Minster Kao has cleared them to land. your father should be arriving in about an hour."

this is all she needs right now She thought to her self "find Mr Damon, tell him that there a situation, and his presence has been requested in the situation Room"

Jill turns and head about her appointed tasks. Jade makes her way to the situation room.

Six black Suburbans with tinted windows moved quietly through the streets of the Iaceo Capital. Their destination was the Government administration building. In on of the vehicals sat Tappee President Smith Allenson. His plane Eagle One had landed a half an hour ago. He was being briefed on the current situation by his advisor Gene Roberts. Gene sat beside him.

"I just got off the phone with General Williams. Apperently Rebels forces have taken over a radio station and have demaned that their leader Dillian Phobo be put into power."

"How much time do we have" asked Allenson

"According to Williams, just under 68 hours" Responed Gene

Allenson didn't like the situation. He had hoped that his daughter would have had the situation under control by now.

Damon stands there in front of his troops. The appointed leader steps forward.

"Elite Corps 65 reporting."

"At ease."

The troops stood at ease. The commanding officer of the Elite Corps stood before Damon. Damon summoned him and they both walked some distance from the troops to discuss the situation.

Jill waits outside the main entrence as the motorcade makes it way through the main gates, then come to a complete stop. The air is brisk today and jill wishes that she had worn her jacket.

Member of the president security force are the first to exit their vehicals. With their guns drawn they take up a defensive positions around the motorcade. Their eye's wide open for any activity. When they a sure it's all clear they give the sign that it's ok for the president to emerge.

Jill looks to her left as one of the doors open. Stepping out from behind the door is an older gentleman in his late fifty's. With greying hair, and day old stubble it would appear that the stresses of the job where taking their affect on the ex intellegence agent.

Jill takes a few steps towards the president. she lowers her head slightly as a sign of respect. "Mr President,what an unexpected pleasure. I trust that your trip went well. You'll have to forgive the reception, we didn't have time to perpare for your arrival"

A smirk come over Allenson face. "Since my daughter is no longer returning any of my calls I thought that I'd come down and talk to her myself"

Allenson, Jill, and the security guards jump in suprise as a lone man comes running out of the building. As soon as he's vissible the security team locks their guns at him. "Freeze yells one of the guards."

The man fumble as he tries to come to stop. Once his forward motions stop he raises his hands in fear.

"Stand down" Jill yells out "Everyone relax."she turns back towards Allenson "Mr Allenson I'd like to introduce you to Prime Minster Kao" She motion for Kao to come forward "He hasn't yet adjusted to all our secuirty measure yet I'm affraid."

Kao looks a little pale in the face, but he catiously make his way down the steps. Once at the base he extends his hand towards Allenson "Nice to meet you Mr President."

Allenson reaches out shaking Kao's hand "Nice to meet you Prime minster. Your doing a fine job here." He looks over at Jill "Where's my daughter Jill?"

"She busy at the moment. But we really should get indoors. if you'll follow me."

The Three make their way in followed by the Security detail.

IACEO!!! I THROW!! or is it I order... never can get my latin translation down right...

Damon stood with the commanding officer.

"Sir, what are our orders," asked the officer.

"No orders yet. I am still waiting for them," Damon said in a weary voice. He seemed exuasted and beat, but struggled to look alert in front of his men.

"Sir, is everything alright?"

"Yes, it is. That is not the trouble. Stay focused on the matter at hand."

"Yes sir," he said snapping into attention.

"At ease."

The officer eased up some. They stood there again reviewing possibilites.

The situation room was a flurry of activity. In the center of the hurricane where Jade Allenson and General Williams.

Jade sat at the main desk frantically writing down possible attack scenerio's down on a piece of paper. "Do we have a figure on how many people are in the building?"

"No Ma'am." replied a voice from somewhere in the room.

"Damn it why not, haven't we done an IR scan yet.?" she barked. She knew her team was doing the best they could, but at the moment time was not their side.

General Williams who sat across from her closed the file he was reading and looked over at her. "Take it easy Jade. IR scan just came back, but due to the amount electronic equipment in the building, we couldn't get much. According government tax record there are 457 people who where employed at the radio stations. 112 have been accounted for. so that leaves 345 people that could still be in the building."

She had looked at the security tapes from the building across for the radio station. By her count there where at least 15 Rebels inside building. However her thoughts were interuped as some open the door and entered.

She was about to yell at them for being late, but instead let out a gasp of air when she realized it was.

Smith Allenson took a momnet to analysis the situation before he quietly made his why across the room taking a seat in the corner. The entire time not saying a word.

Jade stood there for a moment stunned by her Fathers sudden appearence.

"Jade!" She quickly turned her attention back Williams "What do you want us to do?"

"Umm.." she studdered. she was still trying to adjust to her fathers presence. she wondered if he was trying to test her. "This is a no win situation for everyone. These rebels have to know that we're not just going to roll over. Talk to Damon his people just arrived let see if they have any special talents that may help us in this situation. I would welcome any feed back that he may have. Until then can someone get me the building diagrams."

President Allenson sit quietly at the back of the room waiting and observing. When he's sure that she done he stands. his action catching his daughters attention. He gentelly nodes in the direction of the door. Once Jade understands what he's trying to do the two make their way out of the room.

As soon as the two are out the room she lays to him "What are doing here. You could not have picked a worse time to be here. Wait is this a test. Or wait I know you don't trust." Her mind full of many questions, she trying to ask them all at once. "Or what you don't think that I can Han.."

"Jade that is enough" barked Allenson. his tone causes her to go silent. Allenson takes in a deep breath. "I was on my way home from the FSN and I wanted to see. You haven't been returning my calls. Is it too much to ask that a father can visit his daughter."

Jade lets out a sigh of relief when see the logic in her fathers words "Sorry, it's that there been so much going on that I" She pauses "I've been trying to find all the angle in every thing that I do"

"It's Ok, I undrestand" he reaches in a nd hug his daughter. "But I'd like you to come home"

In her fathers arms in the one place that she truelly fells safe. "I can't, I'm needed here."

Damon was in the middle of speaking with the officer when a someone kindly tapped him on the shoulder. Damon turned around.

"We may need your assistance Mr. Damon with something."

"What is it?" he asked.

"Let us go inside and talk."

The three men went inside, the other soldiers outside still. They stood around for awhile looking around. Some of the played with their rifles and snipers set up positions and looked around the place through their scopes. They laid back and had some fun.

Inside the building, the man was leading Damon and the commanding officer toward a room that would be more comfortable to communicate in.

Jade looked up from her papers as Damon entered the room.

"Damon, we haven't much time so I'll be brief. 9 hours ago a rebel force attacked a radio station takening everyone inside hostage. There demands are simple. THey want the current governmentto step down, and hand over control over to Dillian Phobo." She tries to see how Damon is reacting to all this information. "Since your men have arriaved I was woundering if you had any suggestion on how to handle this situation. Unfortanatly, I don't know any of the strenght or weakness of your troops. Currently I've got a team maintaining the premeter."

Damon listened to all of this intently.

"My men may be quailfied. They are trained in the art of covert warfare, so they should be able to do this."

The other officer spoke up, "My Lady, if you do not mind me output, I think that the men are perfect for the job. Just tell them what to do, where to go, and how you want it done and it should be done without a hitch."

The officer stood straight and looked at Damon to see his response. He looked exausted and weak.

"Requesting permission to speak with Jade alone."

Damon looked at him in surprize. He was confused, but thought that the matter pertained to the developement of a plan. "Permission granted," he exerted slowly.

The officer escorted Jade out quickly. Once out of the room and away from earshot he continued, "I want you to keep a close eye on Damon. He is not a well man and he looks really exuasted. I am concerned."

He waited for her response. Meanwhile, Damon stood there and looked around. He walked over to a wall and leaned against it.

Jade thought to herself for s moment. As she recalled as long a Damon has been here he's looked exuasted. She had once before suggested that he get some rest.

There was no doubt in her mind that at this moment in time she needed his help. But she was unwilling to put his soldier at unnessary risk. This would put her in a very delicate position.

Sure that Damon can't hear her she give her response. "Very well, I ahve my people keep an eye on him. With your permission I'll havea liason officer attacked to you and your troop. As for the present situatio if you feel that your people can handel this, then very well. I'll send you all the information that we have and you can decide how you want to proceed. I would like as many of the hostages saved, but we are willing to take losses if need be. I also want as many of these rebels brought in for questioning. But with that being said I don't want you or your team to take any unnessary risk in doing so"

The commanding officer thought a moment. "I trust that we should be able to do such. It sounds like a mission that we have preformed before. We should be able to do this mission without major consequences. However, in combat we can not make promises. Thank you for understanding about Damon. I am just worried about him. Ever since he came back from Dante's men he has not been the same but no one has really noticed."

He sighes. "I do not know what it is. You know how sometimes you just know something. This is one of those times. I just know that something is wrong with Damon. I can not explain it though."

Damon, while leaning against the wall coughed abit. He slid down the wall some, coming to a rest at a very odd angle. He just leaned, at that odd angle, and looked at the floor.

He was thinkning about something, but he was not even sure what it was. His thoughts blazed from one matter to another to another.

Jade enters to see Damon sitting on the floor. He looked to be in rough shape. she kneels down so that she could talk with him at eye.

"Damon I mean no disrespect but you look aweful." She thinks to herself "Your men are worried about your state of health. And frankly so am I. I am going to have some guest quarters prepared for you. I want you to get at least 8 hours rest, then I'm going to send a doctor up to see you. Don't worry we don't plan to move against the Rebels for least 15 hour. Now go get some rest"

Damon looks up slowly, but stands up quickly.

"Forgive me."

He stands at attention.

"I am fine. There is no need for them to worry. I will be fine."

The commanding officer entered. He looked at Damon and thought, "Why is he doing this? What is he trying to prove?"

"Very well" I've got other matter to attend to, so I'll have some one bring you all the informantion that we have on the current situation."

The commanding officer took his place aside of Damon. Damon just looked at him without question.

They stood awaiting orders from Jade.
