Scellian Daily News

Today the Scellian government has officially annouced its position on the military buildup along the Oril Daranith border by Black Dragon Keep, as well as its aggressive stances toward the Oril Daranith nation. A statement released by the government followed as thus,

In response to the military posturing by the Black Dragon Keep government and their distasteful form of government as well as oppression of the people of Black Dragon Keep. As a democratic people and regional delegate Scellia needs to take responsiblity for the wellbeing of the region. We have now officially called upon Black Dragon Keep to remove all military forces along the border of Oril Daranith. We also call upon them to accept inspection parties from Scellia to determine the state of their population.

Reporters inside the Black Dragon Keep, those not 'confiscated' by the government, say that Black Dragon Keep is unlikely to comply with these sanctions and may strike militarily at Scellia or Oril Daranith. Scellian officials have increased military alertness of air defense systems and deployed army troops.

Bump

Regional Defense Minister David Tragos looked at the Intelience reports on his desk. All of them said the same thing basicly. Just in diffrent ways. There was going to be an attack on Oril Daranith. Troops and tanks massing on the borders. After all these years they are going to finaly invade.

His thoughts were intrupted as one of his agents rushed through the door.

"Sir," he exclaimed, "Check out the T.V.!!!"

"What channel," David asked in his aged voice. He did not have to change the channel as SNN (SLuggy News Network) Repeated the decleration from Scellian.

David felt as a huge weight was lifted from his chest. Hearing of there support. He looked at his little red phone to the presedent just as he was about to dail it. It began to ring and he picked it up.

"What do you make of this" Presedent Sandra said on the other end. She knew he had alread found out. He always knows first some how.

Presedent Sandra curled her hair in one finger absent mindedly as he answered. "They are great allies to have. I sugest you accept there proposal, Up our buget on the Military, and Ill get the Generals in her to have a defensive meeting."

"What about the possablility of terrorist acts that you thought before?" she asked remebering her last conversation with him and the rest of the cabinet.

"We have just started the Anti Terroist force. They started training last Friday. According to last reports they were doing exceptionaly well."

"Ok, Ill make it officail tomorow. Ill hand over command to you and the generals. " Sandra said mater of factly.

"Yes mam," David replied hanging up the phone.

"All the Heads of Military. I want them hear yester day with plans for dealing with this war." David ordere his agent.

"Yes sir"


*****

Presedent Sandra Hallowell walks up to the podium of the presidentail building. The Seal of Oril Daranith is emblazoned on the front of the Podium.

She is dressed in a Navy blue skirt suit wearing a black tie with it. Her aburn hair hung loos and straight to her shoulders and her dark green eyes showed a spark of dreed in her coming anouncment.

As she walked flash bulbs exploded taking her picture.

"My friends, family, and countrymen," She begins her adress, "All of you have already heard about the Decleration os the Nation of Scellia. Talking with our Defense Minister we have reason to beleive that the Declration is true. That, after years of an uneasy peace, that Black Dragon Keep is going to invade our lands. We have already put into action a defense plan for our borders. We also thank Scellia for her offer and accept it whole heartedly. I also now officaily give command of our armed forces to the Minister of Defense and wish him good luck, and happy hunting. Thank You"

Reporters try to get the presedent to take a few questions but she just walks away.

Deep inside the Scellian CIC...

The President of the Armed Republic of Scellia watches the news cast of Oril Daranith, as the leader of Oril proclaims with that cold certainity the war. The generals of Scellia look on, each their own opinion but overwhelmingly the feel of the room is war. General Brad Elliot, the commander of the Scellian Army, finally breaks the silence that had fallen over the chamber. "Mr. President, we have finished reorganizing the Ary and all our people are ready for deployment. I suggest that we prepare for the immediat deployment of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Armies, as well and the 8th Special."
Reluctantly the President nods, "Get them ready, I don't suppose that we could assasinate their leader, who appears to be the main link here."
General Elliot shakes his head, "It would take a full out assualt on their 'Keep', nothing short of a full aerial invasion would result in an accomplished objective."
