At 8:00 this morning North American Eastern time a fairly large bright light was observed over a forested area of Sicrat. Assuming it was a meteor, a scientific team from our somewhat limited space program was sent to investigate the area. We lost contact with them before they entered the approximate impact point of the meteor.

At 12:00 a paramilitary team from a local militia was asked to investigate the area. We recieved 5 minutes of garbled transmissions before losing all radio contact with them. They were armed with hunting rifles and machetes.

At 3:00 a special forces unit was flown in to the area. They landed by parachute and reported their findings.

The source of our troubles has been reported to be a hugely overgrown protist like organism of a jelly like substance. It has embedded itself in the crater, which is about 30 feet in diameter, and had not moved since the arrival of the unit. There is no sign of the scientific team or the militia detachment.

By executive order, one of the soldiers on the scene risked great personal injury to himself and threw a rabbit he had captured into the organism, to watch its reaction. To put it delicately, the rabbit was assimilated into the organism's bio mass within seconds.

As of 8:00 this night a team of 600 soldiers, 20 scientists and 4 government officials have arrived on scene. The organism has remained largely inert. Our scientific team has not done any major experiments or examinations of every kind for fear or rising it. They estimate we have statistically 0% containment. A clolumn of 12 Sacrati tanks are already en route, but are having trouble crossing the forests. Even then we will only have what our scientists estimate as 3% containment.

The Republic of Sicrat is hereby requesting a scientific team and a military force that is capable of holding this organism should it decide to stir. This issue could be infinitely important to our nation's security. Help is appreciated and will not be forgotton.

Flamethrowers usualy prove effective against large gelatinouse objects. Try napalm.

Airdrop a couple thosand pounds of salt an the overgrown amoeba. That'll do the trick. Better do it before sunrise, it may use photosynthesis.

But what if its a sodium based lifeform?
Safer to burn the thing.

How bout some nuke radiation?
Result = its gone or you might of get it bigger and stronger. Your choice just a suggestion.

Its his first post, he doesnt HAVE nukes

But what if its a sodium based lifeform?

The leader of DGNT recieves a videotape in the mail from Muktar. It's the movie 'Evolution'.

I would supply it of course. I mean this thing could be a threat to international security.
starts laughing

Doest apply off-planet Muktar, this thing arrived on an Asteroid.
*the leaders of Muktar recieve a video entitled 'Xenobiology'*

OOC: The movie Evolution is about aliens who arrive on an asteroid, get napalmed, and the heat makes them Godzilla-huge.

OOC: Now how was I supposed to know that :P It was a bad movie anyway. I much prefer Indiana Jones 8)

Pfft LoTR or Matrix anyday.

*sounds like acigoo*

Again, Muktar suggests you salt the pile of ooze.

*calls meeting with Acigoo nations*

This better be a false alarm...

heat from organisms and the atmosphere seem to act as the catalyst in this creature.

Simply slow it down. Put it on ice and fire it out into space.

It better be

it sure SOUNDS like acigoo

it sure SOUNDS like acigoo


You just want to see us all go crazy huh?

it just sounds supiciously like acigoo, didn't say i knew it was though

it just sounds supiciously like acigoo, didn't say i knew it was though
Well, we'll send scietists in... If it's Acigoo, it should have terraformed by the time we get there, the whole area...

*calls meeting with Acigoo nations*

This better be a false alarm...

*Walks in, stares at Sicrat, crosses his arms and taps his foot*

ViZion is sending a team of 150 Acigoo specialists. We haven't hear yet if is has begun terraforming, or anything else... but much of what we do know so far sound like Acigoo... Including how it arrived..

We are currently standing by to send in a team of armed scientists in to collect a sample of the creature, in which we can perform scientific tests upon. Unfortunately, we currently do not have the ability to study such as creature as this. If we are capable of obtaining a sample of the creature, is there a country willing to take the sample and study it for us?



Our military enforcements have increased to near 2000 between these 2 days. This is nearly and eighth of our military front line forces. The entire 200 mile circumference of the crash sight has been sealed off. The population is being evacuated, however we cannot take all the refugees. If a country is willing to set up a temporary refugee camp for some 2000 people, we would be grateful.

Freeze it!

Spray it with fire exitnguishers! Snow!

Through a long and arduous task involving distracting the creature with tasers on one end, while prodding the other, we have obtained a jar-sized sample of the creature. One scientist lost his hand to the creature, and it shows sign of angering. We still require a nation's scientific prowess to assist us in analyzing the creature.







For information on the location of the Crash Sight, and other installations vital to the crises, we include this map.

The Holy Empire of Free Antartica requests permission to send in a small military team, and a group of scientists.

You're request is enthusiastically granted. Once your men arrive, have them sent immediately to the crash site. There we can study the sample extensively, and deal with the creature accordingly.

*Several Trucks, and jeeps cross the border, not even stopping for the border guards. The trucks make way accross the country side with no delay. The trucks reach the crash site in the middle of the afternoon.*

*Colonal Jack Harrison jumps out of his truck, and shouts out orders.*

*Bye twilight a small tent city, for 257 men, and women is set up around the crash sight.*

The Sicrati scientists approach the tent city tentatively, making their way through the Antarctican troops while protecting a conspicous looking briefcase. The scientists confront Colonel Harrison, and motion towards the briefcase.


Head Sicrati scientist: Colonel, we have the speciemen, and we've already obtained that it is highly gelatinous in form and projectile weapons will not be affective against it. General Saijen would appreciate it if you moved forward onto the line any flame units you happened to have brought along. We have currently obtained 2 bombers that are ready to take of to bomb the target if whenever we have to order a full retreat. Now, where should we take the specimen to begin joint-research on it?

Suddenly gunfire rings out. Its coming from the line. Its just several automatic shots at first- which soon grows to a roaring chorus of rifle fire with an occaisonal RPG round. The base alarm soon goes off, marshalling the rest of the stationed army to the line.

Head Sicrati Scientist: Looks like it's started moving. The Sicrati military does not have much heavy weaponry. Our soldiers pretty much use whatever the government can scrounge up. We have very few flamethrowers and only a handful of RPG's, and we have 2000 soldiers currently stationed around this crash site! Your troops could be of very good use, along with whatever spare weapons you have brought along.

Colonal Harrison orders an aid to sound general quarters.

"This thing is moving, we need to stop it."

The 225 free Antartican soldiers rush onto the line, and fire.

The line emcompasses the entire crater, and 50 yards of land in chich can be used as a buffer zone. Between the line and the buffer zone is a 4 foot sandbag wall. Most of the buffer zone has been overrun. The majority of the Sacrati soldiers are using rifles, and on occaison some low powered assualt rifles and shotgun. They cause shock in the creature, but do little more than slow it down. Only 4 or five Sicrati soldiers are currently firing flamethrowers, which will actually burn the creature to death. The creature is about to hit the Northern side of the line, where the most reinforcements are needed.

A release from Mother Earth's News, printed on 100% recycled paper:

Jewel Salisfeild, leader of the Earth Liberation Front, has called a meeting over the threat of neuclear weapons being used on this visitor from the stars. Her top generals have met in an unspecified location, and have decided that the creature, although not of this planet, is still alive and therefore should be protected. Many creatures feed on man, and one more wouldn't hurt anything. However, to keep this creature from consuming everything, Salisfeild and her Corps have decided to keep it under lock and key in a research lab somewhere in the Amazon Jungle, where it could be tested in the most humane way possible.

Furthermore, the ELF has avowed to take full military action against any nation using un-environmental means to destroy the creature, such as nukes and bioweapons. Conventional means to kill the creature will be frowned upon, but nothing will come directly from them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
About 1,000 troops of ELFs move from nearby villages in Sicrat (they were already stationed there, which is one of the advantages to being an ideology instead of a country) and head into brush on the fringes of the crater. Lightly armed with everything from uzi's to AK's to the occasional nano-grenade, the ELFs hide in the overgrowth and wait for the chance to strike.

OOC:
Those 'terrorists' are better armed than his military :shock:

IC:

A message relayed to Sicrat's government via the most expediant means possible reads as follows:

From: Department of External Affairs, The Dominion of Kanuckistan

Greeting;
The matter at hand seems to be expediantly growing dire, so I'll make this short and to the point; we have power armoured marines armed with incindinaries and standing by to board ShockPods and provide immediate assistance. They're only a suborbital hop away, and can arrive within minutes of reciving clearance from your government.

Signed:

Bob McBob, Minister,
Department of External Affairs,
Kanuckistan

OOC:
Those 'terrorists' are better armed than his military :shock: ((OOC: We have more people, as well as friends in high places around the globe. Mother Earth is a very easy cause to fight for))

OOC:

OOC: Actually, I was reffering to the oddity that you managed to covertly get this stuff into the country when it's clearly so out of place.

And I hope you have permission, or atleast a good bit of info regaurding the RP depiction of his nation's people, 'cause there are alot of nation's out there, like mine, where you could never pull this off for some reason or other.

Ooc: Unfortunately, Mr. Terrorist isnt too far off in his actions. It would be easy to place sleeper cells in this country as of now, as only certain parts of the border are protected. But 1000? This is a really small country, really low on the radar. In fact, the enviornment is also very well protected here, so there is no real reason for so many of them to be here. Its not that much of a problem however. Back IC


Through World Wide public channels, a letter directed to the Cells of Ecological Terrorists and the Civilized World across the globe from the Republic of Sicrat states the following:

"The Republic of Sicrat first would wish to extend its moderate sypathies to the Ecological idealists. Here in Sicrat many of our nation's ecological treasures have been protected from deforestation, and mass killings for snacks by evil corporations. However, no single living force should come before the national security of a government and the international security of the world. The creature that we are currently locked in battle with destroys any living thing it comes in contact with, while absorbing it to become larger. This creature in itself is an ecological disaster."

"We therefore come to our point. We currently are using timed explosives and flamethrowers to hold of the creature, from advancing too far from beyond our newly established line of defense, which is less than 10 miles from Masuli, one of our largest population zones. The Republic of Sicrat hereby reserves the right to destroy completely and utterly the organism that is plaguing its land. Of biological weapons Sicrat has none, but as of late Sicrat has aquired a Nuclear ICBM (for confirmation you may check the Credonia Storefront) that will be detonated upon the creature if the city of Masuli is overrun. Whether this is or is not the case, none of this creature shall surive to be studied by any nation. A biological weapon of this power shall not be recieved by any region, nation or terrorist cell. Upon the end of this letter the sample taken by our scientists shall be destroyed. We believe this is the best possible course of action for the world we live in."


"To all civilized nations that are capable of responding to this message, the Republic of Sicrat hereby calls for immediate assistance in the prevention of nuclear force being used upon the creature in question. The Republic of Sicrat will approve all requests from nations, such as Kenuckistan to enter the country with armed troops in order to assist us with our current crises. Currently we have orders awaiting for confirmation in the way of assault rifles, pistols, and a column of 50 Beowulf tanks that will assist us once they arrive, however, we still require international aid."

"To the enviornmental idealists of the world- there are other ways for you to protect our planet. Help us destroy this creature, and you will be helping to stop a catastrophic enviornmental crises."

Thomas Bisulca
President of Sicrat

I don't suppose you can divert a lava flow from an active volcanic area into the creatures vicinity.

Unfortunately, (and of strange wording) Sicrat has no active seismic forces, including volcanoes within its borders.


However, two Sicrati bombers have taken off today from our airfield carrying inciendiary bombs. The have succeeded in dropping them on to center of the creature. The creature, in shock, fell back several miles,and our troops are scrambling to retake the land. The same process will be repeated later today.

We'll donate a napalm MOAB to your cause. It'll make one big mess of that thing ...

Promise some convicted felons freedom if they can kill it. Give them the supplies. If they fail they die. If they suceed kill them because of risk of possible effects from the battle

That MOAB could be very useful. The Republic of Sicrat will gladly accept it. When can we expect its delivery?

Ooc: Unfortunately, Mr. Terrorist isnt too far off in his actions. It would be easy to place sleeper cells in this country as of now, as only certain parts of the border are protected. But 1000?

Larger corporatized nations seem to be more apathetic to the environment than smaller nations like yours.))

The terrorists burst out of the overgrowth at the signal of their leader. Toting their weapons, the ELFs run towards the creature, attempting to form a two-man-deep protective circle around it. About 15 ELFs are downed by stray fire while surrounding the beast, and almost 100 are wounded by still manage to carry on through shear fanaticism. "Gaurd our friend from the stars!" their leader cries, "Protect the simple beast! Defend the..."
Cutting him short, the monster swallows him and several ELFs around him whole, incorporating them into its body mass. The ELFs, startled, back off from the beast, and break out running. About three quarters of the ELFs left from the numerous casualties turn around and begin to fire upon the creature, joining the forces that they minutes ago opposed. A new voice is heard, the one of the second in command, yelling "Avenge our leader! Kill the scourge to mother Earth! Destroy the hellspawn!"

But what if its a sodium based lifeform?
Safer to burn the thing.
OOC: Unlikely, sodium isn't a very good choice for forming atomic bonds... Carbon can have up to 4 bonds, which is one reason why its so successful. Silicon maybe :P

OOC: Lol, you do know that the creature is about, at this current time 50 miles in diameter :wink:
IC

Sicrat welcomes the aid of the environmental idealists, and wonders when that MOAB is going to get here.

That MOAB could be very useful. The Republic of Sicrat will gladly accept it. When can we expect its delivery?

About now. It's here! (Gotta be careful with moving these things)

OOC

I'm gonna MOAB the server sometime with these timeouts

Deep in Sicrat, 1 strategic bomber is loaded with bombs loaded with phosphorous acid. The other strategic bomber is loaded with a MOAB donated by the nation of Jerusalem. Within minutes, the bombers are in the air, and flying towards their target.


The MOAB was dropped first. After the dust cleared, there was a giant hole where the epicenter of the creature was. Perhaps through some kind of instinct, the creature retreated off its front lines to regroup, and fill in the gaping hole left by the MOAB.

Then came the phosphorous acid. The 16 bombs dropped forced the creature to retreat all the way to the outsides of the crater in which it spawned from. While the Sicrati Armed Forces scramble tiredly to regain the land left by the creature, the bombers return to the airbase to be reloaded.

OOC

Sicrat, what are doing about those pesky Ecological Terrorists?

Should further investigation show this extraterrestial organism to still be alive, Eredron calls for an immediate tactical nuclear strike.

As work returns from Sicrat, a dozen fully loaded Marine ShockPods depart from Kanuckistani soil; the sleek 15 meter long craft quickly accellerating to a cruising speed of mach 25.

A short suborbital flight later, the wing of troop vessels slow to subsonic speeds as they cross Sicrat's boarder; the onboard marines going through final equipment checks as they near the local military's defencive parimiter.

A radio transmision from one of the craft on frequencies observed to be used by local military is as follows, "This is Major Falkland of the Kanuckistani Gaurd to the commander of the local defence initive; we have arrived with aid and will be deploying imediatly to the front unless requested not to. Good luck."

With that, the ShockPods each disgorge 12 power armoured figures of clearly varried species near the front, then proceed to empty hasitly-mounted white phospherous rocket pods into the creature's mass and withdraw behind the lines to set up heavy morters.

Meanwhile, the Kanuckistani troops advance to join the Sicrat defenders with a mix of plasma and incindinary weaponry.

OOC:
Loadout:

Individual Marine ShockPod Armament(12):
4x White Phospherous Incindinary Rocket Pods(32x rockets each)
1x Heavy Gauss Morter - Napalm rounds, tho there a few clean sub-nukes onboard incase things get out of hand again

Combined Infantry Arms(144 troops):
12x MFP-220i Air-Fed Microfusion Sidearm(Plasma/Laser/Taser firing modes)
36x 40mm Grenade Machine Guns(white phosperous rounds)
36x Air-Fed Plasma throwers(actually modifyed industrial plasma guns)
288x White Phospherous hand grenades

The Sicrati Military issues a statement to the Kenuckistan military currently on the ground in sicrat: If you can act as an advance force, secure the crater and dig in untill we arrive sometime in the morning, we would quite possibly be able to destroy this without the use of nuclear weapons.

The reply reads as follows:

"Sicrati commander, the ShockPods that brought us here have sense deployed heavy vehicle-mounted morters and will begin sustained bombardment of the creature's centeral areas with rounds containing a longer-burning Napalm varrient. Given it's observed behavior pretaining to similar attacks, that being it's retreat to heal damaged or obliterated centeral areas, we hope to set up a sustained 'kill zone' within the beast's own body; an area almost continuously alight, into which the creature will pour itself in a vain attempt to heal the wound, and by such action, allow us to rapidly exterminate the beast, rather than concentrating on an elongated parimiter."

Signed:
Major Falkland, Sicrat Expiditionary Force, Kanuckistani Gaurd

Shortly after the message is sent, the ShockPod crews finish deploying morters and begin bombardment.

Sicrati Secret Police and Special Forces are on route in helicopters to the crater site. they will land once your bombardment is complete and mop up whatever is left of the creature. If there is anything left the special forces should have it destroyed by the time the military reaches the site.

Bombardment is sustained until the creature(whom the troopers have taken to calling 'Oprah' for some reason no one can figure out) is no more; the efforts of infantry around it's parrimiter quickening it's extermination. During the operation, Major Falkland is heard to remark, 'An alien invader which delivers itself up for the slaughter? How thoughtful of it'.

Meanwhile, Kanuckistani biotech specialists caution their Sicrat counterparts; reminding them to analise soil to atleast several meters down, to insure the creature is wholy dead, and didn't leave any spores ofthe ilk which may menace the nation in the future.

OOC

Sicrat, what are doing about those pesky Ecological Terrorists?((OOC: Check near the top of the third page, we changed sides))
IC:
The ELFs begin to disperse after the creature's death, blending in with the crowds of soldiers from many other nations and vanishing without a trace. If a bystander was observant enough, they'd find that several small pieces of the creature's remains had gone missing. The next day, Mother Earth News reported this as a deciding victory for the forces of man, and detailed how those of different backgrounds can work together to save the planet from everything from alien scurges to pollution. The commander was honored in the obituaries as "falling to a worthy foe", and had a parade in his honor down Central Trail in Homeland, Brazil.

The Republic of Sicrat joyously announces the death of the so called "Oprah" creature. It's annihilation came as a cooperative effort between many nations who knew that such a force could pose a dangerous question for worldwide security. Sicrat would like to thank the nations that assisted us in any way in the struggle. The creature has been largely destroyed, however has left "roots" in the ground near and around the crater. Sicrati scientists are digging up the roots and executing them with flamethrowers as we speak. The government plans to erect a monument just outside the crater to honor the some 3000 civilians and multinational soldiers that have died in the struggle against Oprah.

((OOC: Sorry, I just can't stop laughing about your choice of names. :lol:
I would've called it "Rosie", personally, but Oprah works just as well))

With crisis averted and the beast dead, the Kanuckistani troops start packing up their gear. A short BBQ was held during final preperations for any who cared to attend(during which the nation's only 'casualty', a young private who had sustained a sprained ankle after tripping while running with a GMG, was hazed good-naturedly to no end), befor everyone mounted up, a final inventory was taken, and with everything accounted for, the soldiers departed onboard the marine ShockPods.
