This morning at 3:00 NRST, the Buran Orbiter launched and succesfully deployed the USSNR's first ICBM satellite. Although not loaded yet with any Nuclear, Hydrogen, or Neutronic warheads, the ICBM Satellite will still remain in a steady orbit awaiting the loading of four Atomic Warheads.

Thank you.

<Secret location, McLeod03>

As the Thor's Hammer drifted in orbit, two pilots of the 2nd Orbital Strike Squadron finished their mission briefing. Their mission was to prevent further nuclear strikes on McLeodian assets worldwide.

Each man wore an airtight suit designed for flight on the edge of space. They walked through the secure underground base of the 2nd OSS, and entered the hangar. In front of them sat four AF-12 Valkyries. The heavily modified SR-71 Blackbirds had been outfitted for orbital warfare, and carried both satellite tracking systems, and anti-satellite weapons.

The pilots boarded their own aircraft, and began the vital preflight checklists. Outside, a single KC-10 tanker oculd be heard taxi-ing out into a take off positions, ready to refuel the AF-12 after launch, in approximately two hours time.

The ICBM Satellite is called Thor's Hammer for its type of Nuclear Warheads it has. The Thor III is modern type of ICBM used for launches and is able to enter the atmosphere without damage. However, it can also be loaded with Non-Nuclear Payloads, which makes it unique among ICBMs.

The Missile Launch Platforms extend from the side of the Thor's Hammer Satellite, and launch accordingly. However, due to recent incidents it will be used for either Experimentation or Defense, and has already been loaded with Four Thor III Nuclear Warheads.

Thank You.

OOC:

McLeod, 50 kT Nukes don't kill Carrier Task Forces.

OOC: It wasnt a CBG. It was a far smaller Patrol Group, travelling pretty close together, and you hit it with two.

IC: As the Thor's Hammer moved into a position over international waters, the AF-12 took off, refueled, and began to gain altitude to intercept the satellite.

The ARMSD Legacy floated silently between McLeod's and Nodea's stations. Although the Legacy was a research station, it had sufficient defensive weapons to prevent any hostile action. A cadet who was in the station at the time called his commander down to the scanner system. "Sir, McLeod is launching from it's satellite."
"Ready the defensive guns, but don't fire. They may be after Nodea's ICBM Satellite."
"It's finished."
"I thought you were watching the scanner. The thing's in orbit, isn't it?"
"Comes up as junk on the radar. I'll get those guns armed."
"You do that."

OOC: Eh? Halfway between? I'm launching from the ground.

IC:

The AF-12 passes through 35,000 feet, climbing rapidly, and updating imagery from a ground station monitoring the satellite.

OOC:

McLeod, this is your last warning, I DID NOT AIM THE NUCLEAR WARHEADS TO THE CENTER OF YOUR TASK FORCE.

Take this as truth, please, I don't want an all out war. I'm a good and fair rper, and this was a mistake for me not explaining properly. Just accept I have survivors and get on with it, I am not a RPer that uses Nukes to kill for fun, I wonly wanted to stall your ships by damaging them or by capsizing them with a mediumk force blast wave that couldn't kill a person.

OOC:

1) It is my decision how to intepret your attacks. IF i say there are no survivors, there are no survivors.

2)Eight ICBMs have successfulyy exited the atnosphere...... and two have been redirected towards the Imperialist Naval Forces of McLeod. One for the Patrol Group, One for the Main Group. For a safe-guard if one is shot, the Nuclear Detonation Device will ignite just above its target. The ICBMs must now travel through the air via a long voyage for Mildonia, the two heading for the Imperialistic Forces of Mcleod are on target and will hit in short time.

I would have said that meant two nuclear warheads were aimed square at my fleet, and designed to make contact with said fleet.

3) I am being fair. You nuke me, i stop you nuking anyone else.

The United States of Pilot
Statement to Nodea Rudav

Very simply put, our government is not in the diplomatic mood to deal with a nation that has or will use nuclear weapons to solve a conflict. However, noting the first sign of aggression by Nodea Rudav, we will not repremand McLeod03 for threatening to use unconventional arsenals.

This is our warning to you Nodea Rudav: Bring the satelitte down, or our President will order A-SAT Missile Batteries to fire on it. End this without conflict.

Thomas sat back in his chair, fed up with misunderstanding. Perhaps he should cut off all contact with International Comrade Brethren? No, that wouldn't do. So many nations, so many Powers, and so many mistakes could be mistaken....

He looked at the reporst slowly again, the Delta IV had indeed aimed it for the center of the Task Force, which Thomas specifically ordered him NOT to. The question was, how could such a Nuclear Device do so much damage to a fleet of ships? My Lord, he thought quietly to himself, if 50 kilo-tons could do that much damage, the Baren Lands would be decimated......but how, why....why did that happen?!?!

The question nagged him, he needed an answer, he needed one now. These nations thought they knew truth, thought they knew intentions. Thomas already forgave these mistaken leaders many moons ago for judging too quickly, Comrade Brethren are all different. Yet, still, they wouldn't order themselves to nuke with caution, only with false vengence.

It didn't matter what they did, the USSNR would survive either way. They never did the testing to lower the Radioactive Levels to where a 50 Kilo-ton nuke would be a Concussion bomb, literally. No one understood the USSNR intentions at keeping both its Allies People and its People safe, just because they were either Socialist or because they were involved in defending a Nation whom asked for help.

No, he thought, these Leaders know not what it means to defend a friend. They wouldn't even use such a nuclear weapon for defending someone that literally asked for it. They didn't care for that countries People, thus that was why they called them Imperialist Scum.

Sighing, ever so sadly, he marked the nation of McLeod as Imperialistic Scum on the list, along with so few other nations. They weren't for the Defense of The People, they wanted to invade and kill all of HLF's people, no matter whom they were.

If they wanted a war, they got it. It was about time that we test the 2000 Kilo-Ton Hydrogen Bombs on these fools. Let them see what its like to loose The People in battle....seeing so many die....so many.....No, he slapped himself out of it. Thomas was the Chief Socialist President, only to Protect the Will, Voice, and Freedom of his and all People of the World, no matter the cost. If it ment killing innocent sailers to Defend a so-called evil civilian population of a currupt leadership, then so be it.

Thomas would give them the cold shoulder, ignoreing them. Imperialitic Scum deserved to be ignored, just watched carefully to see what they did to their People next, waiting for them to slaughter thousands to attack and Defend the People that were so Long oppressed.

Yet, somehow, that wasn't how the USSNR did things. Either he would respon, or he wouldn't. Either he would attack, or he wouldn't. Thomas chose no to both, and crumbled the paper, throwing it away. They would send their nukes at innocent civilians in Nodea Rudav. Even if the USSNR was obliterated, they would have made the mistake of killing Civilians as the USSNR only oblerterated Military Personnel, as was dictated in the International War Treaty.

They were still Comrade Brethren, no matter the cost. He wouldn't dare attack another nation, only its military. Thats why he detonated the nukes above mildonia just two miles up, the Civilians would get a warm breeze, that was all.

Turning to look at news on other issues, inculding one demanding attention by The People, he spit at the crumbled paper ordering their defenses down, for they would never use Nukes again in war. It was too powerful for these Imperialists, making a mountain out of a mole-hill. This was, besides, their first mistake of war. The USSNR would never order that again, not after feeling so much pain in seeing those Imperial Fleets get toppled. It hurt to see that, and Thomas wanted to actually cry. Comrade Brethren didn't deserve that, so forever shall USSNR Nuclear Arms be used in defense, no longer in defense of even someone who asks.

OOC: Actually i wasn't even pro-invasion. I was neutral up until you attacked me. My intention was to stop teh war.

< OOC: Wait... I'm confused... am I being ignored here? >

OOC:

I have no reason to Ignore two such Fellow Role Players as you and Mildonia, Pilot. Also, Mildonia, I suppose this attack was a mistunderstanding. Shall we obide by the Expection Rule of RP and ignore my Posts at the War?

I never ignore Fellow Role Players as long as they Role Play Fair, and all have so far. :)

< OOC: Hmm... I suppose it's possible, in my infinite wisdom, I misunderstood. I was under the impression that you were threatening to blow McLeod03 into the ground. My mistake. >

OOC:

In Role Playing, as they say, No Mistake from one who knows Role Play can be made a Mistake completely.

Meaning all is and already was never accepted as an Insult, period, or other think. OOC and IC are TWO VERY DIFFERENT places. Even as I may have differences in IC, I respect fellow Role Players in OOC, no matter whom they are. :)

EDIT: And, No, I would never again use Nuclear Weaponry for Offense, seeing how people can misunderstand so quickly the Modified Versions and my HUGE MISTAKE of not posting it. :oops:
