The Euroslavian capital:

It is a giant castle of 25 levels, and about 0.5 miles if you walked from one end to the other. There are over 154 rooms, along with about 10 that no one knows about, and there is a security officer in every room. When this war game takes place, there won’t be actual security guards. There will be camera’s in every room. Although, we will have 10 special ops forces looking around for each team. If they are caught, they must go back outside, and re-start. This is more of a medieval castle rather than a modern times Capitol Building.

Each country will have 2 teams with 10 members in it. If one team is caught, they must re-start the mission. The goal is to capture the “dummy” President and take him out of the castle without anyone catching you.

Two C-59 Falcon II Dropships speed through the air, rapidly approaching the island. Within minutes, they land on one shore of the island. Dark figures rush out of the dropships, quickly getting themselves organized. As soon as they all exit the dropships, the two craft quickly rise up and speed off to whence they came. The twenty figures split off into two groups and begin to covertly approach the castle, virtually unnoticeable.

OOC: I've employed 12 Wet Shadows and 8 Ghost Shadows. For info, check here (http://www.angelfire.com/ns2/toxicvalley/services.html).

*A small craft plows through the ocean fog and stops ten feet short of land. Ten men jump into the icy waters and make their way to the shore. Meanwhile, a Sea King HC MK 4 copter drops off another ten elite soldiers on the other side of the island. Both teams make their way through the brush toward the castle.*

The Revalian flagship Kyriakos Anastasia slices through the fog enshrouding the isle. Onboard, the entirety of the First Legion stands at attention, with First Citizen Stuart Richards addressing twenty soldiers dressed in black-and-grey camouflage.

"Attention!" declared the First Citizen. "This is a grand day for Revalia! These are our first war games with the Midlands bloc, a sign of the region's solidarity. We salute our long-standing friend and QuaFTA pact member Euroslavia for hosting these games, and we salute these twenty soldiers, members of the Commonwealth's new Centurium Elite strike force. May the Centurium Elite be victorious in these games, and thus bring glory to the isle of Revalia!"

The First Citizen then thumped his fist upon his heart unto the twenty, and the First Legion did likewise, in salute to the two teams participating in the war games. Kyriakos Anastasia then pulled up to the shore, her hoverjets silently keeping the craft afloat as the twenty trooped into the frigid waters.

OOC: This is gonna ROCK.

Euroslavian guards are on alert for any strange movements around the castle. So far, they've seen or heard nothing, but they have moved to their positions in each room of the castle and have set up traps such as the classic, net falling on the team, and trap door which leads to a maze in the basement.

The Revalian teams, dressed in their grey and black, troop silently towards the castle. Arriving at the walls, they shoot grappling hooks over the walls and climb up silently. Once on top of the walls, they enter the castle's interior through a door. Finding an empty guard quarters in which to regroup and go over strategy, two soldiers take out small electronic devices.

"The room's bug-free," they report.

"Good," declares Alpha One Revalia. "Beta One, is your team prepared?"

"Yes we are, sir!" Beta One Revalia declares, adopting a Euroslavian accent as he sheds the uniform of the Centurium Elite, revealing a Euroslavian Special Operations outfit. The rest of Beta Revalia team does likewise, stuffing their CE outfits into pouches on their new uniforms.

"You know your assignment, then?" Alpha One inquires.

"Yes, sir!" replies Beta One, nodding curtly. "We are to scour the likely penetration sites of the foreign teams, and impersonate the Euroslavian teams, halting their progress while simultaneously seeking out the dummy President and enabling Alpha team to move with the tactical advantage of less competition."

"Good..." acknowledged Alpha One, "but there's one more thing."

"Concerning the Omegans?"

"Yes."

"In the event that we meet with the Omegan team, we shall ensure that they meet with some embarrassing... accidents, per the Praetorian memo."

"Yes. Revalia must win this, but barring that... the Omegan Corporation must not. We cannot allow them prestige at this time, not with our recent... disagreements over energy importation."

"Then go out and make it so. Dismissed."

*After ten minutes of catious traveling, DAWN team leader stops his force at the sight of a horiblly familiar uniform two meters ahead.

"Alright, captain Jones, you remember your mission, right?" Major Stevens asks two someone wearing a non-Omegan uniform.

"Yes sir."

Captain Jones runs up ahead and tazers the man at the back of Revalia's Alpha team, pulls him into the bushes, and takes his equipment and identification. He then runs to the back of the Revalian party and prepares to scale the wall with his new team.*

Alpha Team Revalia progresses carefully down the corridors of the castle, each member doing a sweep of each room on the top floor. Finding nothing, Alpha Eight Revalia-the communications officer-walks to the wind-swept turret and sets an illicit narrow-beam transmitter in the direction of Kyriakos Anastasia.

"Alpha Eight Revalia to Kyriakos," he radios. "Are you finished with the infrared sweep?"

"Kyriakos to Alpha Eight, we have. The Euroslavian team coordinates are being transmitted as we speak. So far, only yourselves and the SAVXian team have penetrated the castle, although the Omegan team was close on your heels enroute to the castle."

"Where are they now?" the radioman inquires.

"We can't get a lock on them," crackles the radio. "They must have employed infrared deflectors."

"But-!" chokes Alpha Eight. "The only infrared cloak manufacturer in the Midlands is Nightsky Industries! They're solidly Revalian!"

"They must have a spy in our military-industrial complex," reasons the radio. "In any case, they were marginally detectable outside, but now that we can't see them it must be that the stone walls are blocking what little heat we could pick up."

"So they ARE inside the castle."

"Evidently, yes."

"Well then... we have our work cut out for us. Alpha Team Revalia out."
