The Theocracy of the Apostles has discovered key integrated chips in its defence armaments have been sabotaged, viz.:
1. Self-guiding armaments commands may be over-ridden remotely and control removed from Apostles forces.
2. Electronic communications may be intercepted at will.
3. Worst of all, “By God’s Grace” – emblazoned on all armaments, and transmitted automatically two seconds before self-guided armaments reach their targets - may be replaced by: “The only good priest is a dead one.”
The Apostles are presently engaged in matters pertaining to the cruiser Musketeer, which may lead to war with one or more nation states. The sabotage, therefore, has been discovered at a crucial time, though it is difficult to tell whether it may be remedied before the Theocracy sustains significant damages to its property, economy and…er…its people.
Whilst our scientists, cryptologists, and engineers are attempting to put matters right, we seek aid from like-minded nations: essentially, we require commitments to military support in the event of being unable to re-programme safely a significant proportion of chips.
Any information regarding the saboteurs would be warmly welcomed.
OOC: I suggest we play this as loosely as possible, the general idea being to let matters run their course as long as players don’t throw in stuff which is completely preposterous, or GodModing. Oh, and I’d to keep OOCs to a minimum if possible. Thanks.
