OOC: Zerni requested this through telegrams.
************************************************************
------------------------------BREAKING NEWS-----------------------------------
************************************************************
Within the capital of Zerni, prominent Zernian businessman Uther McDonald resided with his wife and two teenage children. As he was jogging around his Mansion compound, an explosion blew open part of the wall that kept McDonald's residence seperated fromthe outside world.

A nearby watchtower collapsed as a rocket-propelled grenade ripped the structure apart. Several terrorists from an unknown faction stormed the McDonald residence, taking McDonald and his family hostage. McDonald's security forces dropped their weapons and fled the compound after the terrorists threatened to execute McDonald's wife.

At least 17 terrorists have blockaded themselves within McDonald's compound. They have threatened to execute McDonald and his family if they do not receive"

-$35 million U.S. dollers
-the release of Gymadzky Stolovishev, a former member of the
Baader-Meinhof gang, currently in Zernian jail
-a commercial jet liner
-free exit of the country

McDonald is the President and CEO of McDonald Bio-Chemical Industries, and is estimated to be worth over $1.2 billion.

Lord Jorumsai stared at the compound, he was the city chief of Police appointed by the minstary of Police who was still going over the demands. Intil then he had orders keep the scum trapped and rescue the hostages if possable. Elsewhere the Fled guards were under arrest for failing their leige lord fleeing like cowards. If they were lucky they would be ordered to commit Supuku and retain some honor. He sighed and tried to call the Terrorests. He was going to try to reason with the terrorist scum to try get them to reason, or at least release the childern.

OOC: One thing Galdania, what would have more of an effect would threatening to kill his mother, by Zerni standards, one would save their mother but not their wife because they could get another wife but couldn't get another mother. But still its good.

OOC: Okay, his mother is in there with him too. BTW, I meant that McDonald ordered his guards to run and get help, because the terrorists would have killed him otherwise.

IC: A garage door opened from within the mansion. A blue sportscar streaked out of it, headed straight for the police barricade.

OOC: No, it's not a suicide bombing, they put a security guard's body in it and wired a bomb to it. Then they jammed something on the gas.

The Police pull back quickly from teh uncoming vehice heading at the concrete barrers that their police cars are behind and Lord Jorumsai let lose an string of curses in arachic Japanese, aluding uncomplentary about the aneistors of the Terrorists and waving an Katana as he fell back to the second set of barriars, expecally as the Car crashes into the barrior and explodes. Elsewhere the Corporate board of McDonald Bio-Chemical Industries was complating what to do as well and wither they should attempt an rescue them selves using Corporate special forces. But they were trained in attacking other corpriations or defending agaist attacks. Also certian governmential minstries would not aprove of such interfirance in their duties.

The USSCR offers its help via their infamous SpetsNaz team......


SECRET IC: The SpetsNaz team, who is moreso trained in special ops in terrain, will be secrety replaced by members of the Снежная буря. The Снежная буря is a blackops team similar to "Delta Force".

Emperor Mishimi reading the message offered aid spoke in his study. "Hmm Who the hell are the SpetsNaz team and further more who are these USSCR?" He turned to an Court offical and said. "See what the Intellengce service turns up, I want to know wither it would be an good Idea to accept their help or not." The offical nodded and left to start the inquries.

Phone call out of Mansion:

"We are willing to release one of the children in exchange for a heliocopter. You have two hours before we execute the child."

OOC: The child can be his oldest son or something, who would 'inherit the family honour' or something like that. Well, he would at least inherit all the money.

Lord Jorumsai responded. "If you kill one of the hostages, I will not be able to guntee all your demands, expecally if you kill one of the childern and I could just about guentee the grandfather would hunt you all down and have you killed in such a way that people would shutter for the next thousand years. I need an sign of good intentions so we will know you wouldn't kill all the hostages when your demands are met. I need something to work with."

OOC: Since I was planning on discussing an alliance with you in the other thread once I was finished talking to Queen Seria, I'll assume that some form of positive relations have been formed just prior to this event.

IC: The Socialist Republic of Xanthal would like to offer any help it can in the rescue of Zerni citizens from these terrorists.

Well if you could get an neogotating expert we would welcome Xanthalian help, sitations like this have never happened before. It would be preferable not to lose any hostages.

~Emperor Mishimi

We will send a negotiator immediately. In the mean time, try not to provoke the terrorists.

Belive us that is the farthest thing from our mind.

~Emperor Mishimi

Several hours pass before the Xanthalian negotiator is brought in. He asks a policeman on-site who is in charge.

The Samurai policeman points out Lord Jorumsai quickly than goes back to his duties.

The Xanthalian makes his way over and asks him. "Are you the man in charge here?"

Lord Jorumsai nodded. "Yes and you are the Xanthalian negotatior?"

"Very astute. Give me all you know about these guys and the people they're keeping hostage. Then tell me what my priorities are. I'll be frank, it's rare that everyone comes out of these situations alive."

Lord Jorumsai. "Thats the residence of one of the big whig CEO & president of McDonald Bio-Chemical Industries, an subidary corporation of one the big 7 Mega Corporations Uther McDonald and his family are being held captive by at least 17 terrorists that stormed the place and forced the withdraw of the guards by threatening to kill McDonalds wife.

Their demanding the following.

-$35 million U.S. dollers
-the release of Gymadzky Stolovishev, a former member of the
Baader-Meinhof gang, currently in Zernian jail
-a commercial jet liner
-free exit of the country."

He then began to tell what happened after his police forces surrounded the compound and the previous attempts to negiotate. "And currently they haven't responded to my counter to their demand for an helocopter inchange for leting one of the childern go."

Radio Transmission out of Mansion: "We will release his 11-year-old daughter. She will exit through the main garage. No police will move closer to the building to secure her. She is unharmed. This is a gesture of goodwill. We are not murderers. We mearly hope to bring about change. Violence is not our first choice, but we have been forced to take action."

The girl ran crying off of the compound. A man with a sniper rifle had his sights trained on her the whole time from within the top floor of the building.

"I assume they have set up some type of transporter inhibitor?"

Lord Jorumsai replied. "This is Zerni, Corporations wage war on each other often literally, they didn't need to set one up. At least we got them to release one of the hostages." He noted as the girl reached the police lines.

"So we could just beam the hostages out of there? Why don't we?"

Lord Jorumsai shook his head. "You misunderstand, they didn't need to set up because all Nobles, CEO, Corporate Presidents and such have them alrightly set up so someone doesn't kidnap them right out of their own homes or places of business, steal corporate secrets and such. The Business world in Zerni gets vicious, like I said sometimes open war and often specal opps. The Place is an fortress."

The Xanthalian looks disappointed. "Oh." He looks back toward the building. "By the way, my name is Terrance Letterman." He thinks a moment. "Okay, I have an idea, but if you decide to go with it it's all or nothing. It will be up to circumstance and chance whether we save your people. However, I can't think of another way unless you want to just trust them and give them what they want."

Lord Jorumsai paused then said. "I am listening."

"If you prefer to just wait and see what happens, I will leave it up to you. However, I am concerned that these terrorists will not stand for delay. Get them this message." He hands Jorumsai a piece of note paper with the following message scrawled on it.
When your demands are met, how do you intend to release your hostages? We need assurance that no one will be harmed.
Terrance looks bored. "No ad-libs please. Our next course of action must be determined by the way in which they intend to respond if we meet their demands. If they intend to release all of the hostages immediately then this will be easy. If not, the situation will require somewhat of a more tactful approach. Either way, you will have my advice soon."

Lord Jorumsai nodded and sent an message. When your demands are met, how do you intend to release your hostages? We need assurance that no one will be harmed.

bump

OOC: "Galdania has left the building!"

Sorry I've been away...

"We want our demands met. If they are not within one hour, we will execute the entire family."

The Xanthalian negotiator looks annoyed. "That's no answer!"

Lord Jorumsai cursed. "Bloody hells, I am tempted to tell them that if they do that the man they want and all the others imprisioned from that organization will be exuted and they them selves will be excuted. This troublesome."

The Xanthalian crosses his arms. "I have half a mind to just blow the building away. I could have the ship that delivered me do it from orbit..." He takes a deep breath. "Sorry. Well, let's try a different tack. Can you get them the jet liner? If you can, I can see to it that the hostages are released without harm. I can eliminate the terrorists as a threat, too. Get the money and the jet. If all goes well, you'll have both that and the hostages and the terrorists in the next few hours. The release of this... What did you say his name was? The gang member, will be more difficult. Is there any way to fake his release for the terrorists?"

Lord Jorumsai spoke. "The jet liner is not the problem, its alrightly ready. The Leader however is an problem, theres, 20 samuri clans guning for him, 3 three ninja clans, 3 major noble clans, 4 Mega Corporation heads and the Emperor who all want him dead. He is on death row. We let him out, he wouldn't make it out the prison doors with out more Ninjas, assassins and corporate specal forces than you could shake the Kami at. I'd send bloody ninjas in there if I thought I pull it off. But the leader will be very tricky to pull that off even by faking. It wouldn't do any good for the fake to get killed."

"For crying out loud man! This is the thirty-fifth century! Forge a video; something! If you want your people to live, you need to make the terrorists think that their man is being released!"

Lord Jorumsai snapped back. "I know that. The trick is making realisic and that including assassination attempts when it seems to happen."

"Well, I don't know! You have to do something!"

Lord Jorumsai spoke more calmly after making an phone call. "Its arranged, they will see their leader seem to be released from prision, complete with attempted assassination attempts. Hopefully it will work."

"Universe willing..."

Lord Jorumsai nodded wearly. "The Kami willing." He called the Terrorists and said. "Very well your demands are being meet."

"Bring our man here. Give us a copter so that we can get to the airport. We will release the hostages one by one as each of our demands are met.

The negotiator smiles. "Have someone bring me to the plane you're giving them. I need to make some preparations. I'll leave it up to you to get them there."

Lord Jorumsai replied to the terrorists. "Sorry but you will have to meet your man at the airport with the plane unless you want him to be killed by assassins that are guning for him by all the various powerful people and clans out to get him. The Helocoper is on its way however with the money in it."

When the Xanthalian arrives at the airport, he spends several minutes inside the plane, then emerges and takes a side seat, hoping that the Zerni can get the terrorists on board.

"Send us our man, we will give you yous.

ÖOC: I think this thing should just be closed. it's taking too long.

OOC:Okay, Plan B then, black opps team. The Zerni aren't going to give the guy the terrorists want up.
