"Colonel, shall I run a simulation? We haven't ran one in about seven months. I want to see if our response time has shortened with the new system."

"Proceed, Major."

The Major ran and pressed a blue button on the wall. An alarm sounded throughout the missile silo and everyone sprung into actions, heading for their respective places to prepare for missile launch.

The Major walked up to the computer and entered coordinates. The "simulated" target - Capital of Iuthia. Unbeknownst to the rest of the missile silo, the Major was a long time hater of the nation Iuthia, and seceretly changed the protocol. Everyone will think it is a simulation, at least until the missile is launched.

"Colonel, we need to enter the code. Ready?"

The Major walked over to the safe, inserted his key card and underwent the retinal scan. The Colonel followed suit, and the safe opened. The Major backed up while the Colonel pulled out two blue snap-cards with launch codes inside them. As the Colonel was reaching in, the Major pulled out a gun with a silencer and shot the Colonel in the head.

"Sorry Randy, I gotta do this."

Reaching in and pulling out a pair of red snap-cards, the Major ran towards the launch confirmation terminal.

"Lieutenant, get up. That is an order."

"Sir, you know I cannot."

"Have it your way, Chris."

The Major pulled out his pistol again and shot the Lieutenant twice in the chest, and pushed him out of his seat. Pulling out the snap-cards, he punched in the confirmation code and waited. Omicron's missile bay doors opened, and pre-launch sequence began. The missiles advanced rocket motors prepared to fire, as all the military personnel stood and watched in awe.

"Launch in one minute." Said a computerized female voice.

"STOP THAT LAUNCH!!" Yelled Captain Niba. 2 guards ran up to the control room, and burst in. Major Tubis stood up and quickly brought his gun up and just as he was about to fire he was shot three times in the chest by an automatic rifle in the hands of Private Randl.

Captain Niba ran in following the two guards Private Randl and Private Dasani and ran to the computer terminal.

"20 seconds to launch." Said the computerized voice again.

"Damnit!" The Captain furiously entered codes and pressed buttons, but to no avail. He was 5 seconds to late.

"10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1.. Launch"

The ScramJet rocket moters in the missile silo as the missile was propelled into the air on electro-magnetic tracks. The ScramJet rocket motors took over, propelling the ballistic Missile into the exoatmosphere in a matter of minutes.

Captain Niba ran to the red phone in the Colonels office and within seconds was with Prime Minister Anoit.

"Minister, we have a problem. One of our 100 kiloton nuclear missiles was just launched at the Capital of Iuthia. Colonel Randy Lopol was shot, as was Lieutenant Chris Sievers. It appears we had a double-agent of some kind. That there missile will reach Iuthia shortly, you need to do something!"

"F---ING CHRIST"

Anoit yelled and in minutes was on the air with the international news agencies.

"Five minutes ago, a 100 kiloton nuclear missile was launched from one of our nuclear silos. The target - the Capital of Iuthia. It appears that one of our military personnel, Major Zack Tubis, shot and killed Colonel Randy Lopol and Lieutenant Chris Sievers, and proceeded to launch with the launch codes taken during a simulation a nuclear missile at the Iuthian Capital. We are attempting to contact the head of the Iuthian government as we speak, but as of yet we have not yet been able to contact them."

Anoit turned and walked out into the hallway.

"Jonathon.. what can be done? We can't let that missile hit Iuthia. It would mean certain destruction of us, that is sure. The loss of life would be huge."

"Sir, there is nothing we can do. I have put the order for all missile silos to go on lockdown. The computer systems have been shut down through our controls at the HQ. Just pray that Iuthian's anti-ballistic missile systems shoot this bird out of the sky."

OOC - How long would it take for an ICBM to travel from Doujin to Iuthia?

"Any news, General?" said the President, walking into the office of one of his news sources, Zoogiedom's most decorated and esteemed General, General Beauchene.

"Yes, Mr. President," he said slowly. "It appears that...it appears that there is a double agent deep within the Doujin military...and it also appears that this agent...killed two officers."

"Hm." President Ciel was displeased to hear this news, but was still confused as to why the General was talking so strangely.

"It also appears," said Beauchene at last, "That this particular agent...the one that shot and killed two officers..."

"Go on..."

"It appears that this double agent sabotaged a missile launch simulation...Mr. President."

"What did he do?"

"He launched what was supposed to be a launch simulation, sir."

"Ah, I see...what has become of the missile?"

"Sir," said Beauchene gravely. "It wasn't any missile launch...the missile was a hundred-kiloton nuclear weapon, and it's headed straight towards the capital of Iuthia. I kid you not."

OOC: Well, a missile from the US to Russia would take about thirty minutes....


Air Martial Aidan MacLeod was not a man prone to sudden outbursts of emotion, which was why he had control of Scandavian State's Joint Strategic Command. However, when a Navy Ensign watching the holographic globe called out a launch, the launch origin and projected target pissed him off, "Sir, we have a lone missile launch from Doujin, the projected target is Iuthia."

Despite his feelings of betrayal, he managed to stay calm, "Feed the ABM sats an intercept vector, get those damn batteries up, and tell all missile commands to prepare for launch. For the love of God, tell the Emperor too."

Some forty laser sats began firing at one shot a minute, kinetic sats emptied all twenty of their vehicles, and ABM batteries unfurled out of their protective silos but didn't begin firing because the massive phased array radars hadn't yet begun tracking the missile. The sixteen SSBNs and the thirty-six four-missile silos recieved orders to prepare to launch.

[I have forty kenetic vehicle sats, forty laser sats, and another forty "Telescope" spy sats that can provide constant targetting data for those sats. You can decide if they managed to shoot down the missile.]

Very interesting. TAGGED YOUR IT!!! :lol: 8)

As the king sat watching this he was amazed. "We must help Ituhia". He says,"Commander, find out if there is any way to stop it from here"."Sorry sir, says the commander, we can't from here". "Hmmm..... I hated to do this but send one of our statellites in front of that missile. And do it now.!"

Then seconds later reports are heard around the globe, 1 Justinopian Satellite destroyed saving the Ituhian Capital. (Sorry if that sounds like god-moding but it isn't and I have close ties with Iuthia and I would like it if another nation did this for me so I will do it for someone else)

[It is godmodding, no matter your personal feeling. Why don't you try RPing sacrificing that satellite and then let Doujin call the result like all good RPers do.]

"Parker!" the Defense Minister was on the phone now with the man in charge of Zoogiedom's anti-ICBM systems. "Activate the launches on our five ABM satellites in orbit."

I bought five of those a while ago...are they future tech? If not, what level are they?

OOC: Hm... time to try out my NAFDA system (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1811013#1811013) for the first time.

Oh and I asked some guys in IRC and the general answer is around 25 minutes for a ICBM to reach China from America. I'm going to round it up to 30 minutes on the assumtion that Doujin is further away. Please notify me of anything which may change that.


[Meanwhile at the deGritz Mansion in Iuthia Prima, Iuthia]


The INOC (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=119992) team were hard at work a minute after the launch of the Doujin ICBM, they were tracking it's progress and working out where it was going to hit so they could catalogue the attack in their report... alot of nations had been throwing around ICBM's and it was important to keep an eye on them for security of the nation and for intelligence.

However, this launch didn't make sense. It was only one missile and Doujin wasn't in a state of war, or at least not to the point where ICBM's would be involved. At this very minute they were quickly working out it's trajectory so they knew who it was going to hit... no doubt hundreds of nations around the world were doing the same, making sure it's not for them before letting their guard down.

"Oh god... it's heading straight for us!" one of them stated, more or less to everyone in the room. He quickly ran to the emergany phone to pass on the details...


---------------------------------


[5 Minutes after the launch, Central Command, Iuthia Prima, Iuthia]


Bunker was alive with action as everyone ran to their posts and prepared for what most of them thought was another drill. It didn't do well to make everyone panic... though they never knew for sure it was a drill, so each time they treated it seriously, almost in a somber manner. No-one joked in fear it could be the real thing.

Those in the know were sweating... Lord General deGritz, much to his annoyance was vaccated from his mansion to a safe bunker far away in his own private Hippogrith Support Craft. Meanwhile his underlings worked hard to make sure they knew what was going on.

They got the communique from Doujin and fully understood what was going on... though they were unsure why it had not already self-detonated. None the less they would deal with the political problems later... for the time being they concentrated on the problem at hand.

The trajectory was important as they would need to know where it was going, exactly where it was going. This way they could have contingencies prepared incase the worse happened.

Meanwhile the people running the NAFDA complex were preparing the system for it's first real trial... if the warhead came close enough there was a very good chance it would take it out, probably with the missile intact.

The NAFDA system used a complex process of injecting high frequency radio energy into the ionosphere to create huge, extremely low frequency (ELF) virtual antennas used for earth penetrating tomography - peering deep beneath the surface of the ground by collecting and analyzing reflected ELF waves beamed down from above.

Heating the ionosphere means exciting the electrons. The NAFDA can raise electron temperatures by 40° F.) More than a gigawatt of energy can be beamed to the upper atmosphere. Generating ELF radio waves in the ionosphere to communicate across large distances with deeply submerged submarines. Testing of the system showed 92.7% accuracy in detecting warheads, 88.4% success in destroying ballistic missiles in the atmosphere upper atmosphere.

They only hoped everything would work as the scientists suggested.

OOC: This is why its not generally a good idea to give your theatre commanders control of nukes...

Commander Hotspur sighed.

"So, the launch was successful then...I see. Iuthia's response?"

The young lieutenent in front of him bit his lip nervously.

"None as yet, they're testing out a new missile defense system now..."

"Accurate?"

"Enough, it does have excellent pinpoint targetting, but...."

"But?"

"Its a laser based system, designed to destroy the ICBM booster attached to the warhead." The officer looked down at the floor.

"Which means" Hotspur concluded..."that even if they hit it, the armed warhead, and we can assume it was armed, is going to fall to earth and make a very big hole where it lands...."

"Thats our main concern, and the rate of descent would prevent a secondary attack, there wouldn't be enough time to aquire the target before it re-entered the atmosphere."

"Bugger"



OOC: This is an IC way of telling to make sure you cover this problem with ABM systems. The warhead will still be armed even when it is shot down (unless in a million to one shot you hit the warhead itself.) So just be careful :wink:

Sorry if that sounds like god-moding but it isn't and I have close ties with Iuthia and I would like it if another nation did this for me so I will do it for someone else

OOC: I'm sure your intentions are honest and good but I'm a nation of 2.2 Billion with alot of experience behind me... I can handle something as simple as a single Nuclear Warhead. I have numberous systems dedicated it taking out these weapons because I've not got any nuclear weapons of my own anymore after dismantling them.

The idea of Nation States it to tell a story... imagine a film like "The Sum of All Fears being ended in five minutes because someone shot the bad guy at the start... it wouldn't be worth going to see and it would be a good film.

Well here we like to drag it out to allow for more detail...


That said, I need to point out that I've not actually done anything for your nation. We are meant to be watching out for your nations progress, but other then that we are not allied, I don't think I've even decided to build an embassy in your nation yet because I want to give it some time.

So don't feel obliged to help, I'll be ok.

Modern tech nation here :) not my WW2 one... so nothing here for you Walmington_on_Sea or Iansisle... I'm writing a WW2 scenario now... on notepad :)


Automated alarms began flashing in a deep bunker under the Urawera Mountain range. computerised subroutines began activating SAM batteries around major cities and sending data packets to ships fitted with STANDARD-3 advanced capabiliy missiles.

"Sir Waioru OTH radar listing a Ballistic trajectory originating in the Doujin region." called a technical Seargent. "Automated systems online, scramble called to all Point defence city batteries."

"Wheres it heading!" snapped the Major in command, quickly picking up his emergency phone and hitting the High command speed dial.

"No firm fix sir... Ballistic trajectory, All I can say is it doesn't SEEM to be heading for us, three minutes for firm fix sir."

OOC: I was under the interpretation that it would destroy the whole thing in the upper atmostphere...

That said the chances are that Scandavian States will just destroy it before it even gets to that point.

Eitherway I have spend some time upgrading this system with the help of Zvarinograd and I'm following the line of logic that Mega Tau wouldn't create a system which didn't work too good.

Though I have just noted the fact it can "Facilitate missile or aircraft destruction, deflection, or confusion, by lifting large regions of the atmosphere to an unexpectedly high altitude so that missiles encounter unexpected and unplanned drag forces with resultant destruction or deflection of same."

E4 Sandy Carlendson sat at her chair in the emergency control room of the FPS embassy to Iuthia, staring at the radar screen. She saw a dot appear on screen...and the go off again. Another airplane. She'd been sitting there for the last three hours of her shift, simply watching the screen. The computer that usually covered it had gone down, so here she was.

Getting up, she stretched her arms, and looked around the room. The other three night shift operators were working at their computer terminals. None of them were doing anything important...hell, unless some sort of international incident occured in Iuthia's capital city, this room's purpose didn't exist. And judging by the largeness of Iuthia, it was doubtfull anything ever would happen.

Sitting back down, she looked at the screen again. Suddenly, a bleep appeared on the top left corner. "Probably just another commercial flight." she thought to herself, and pulled out the flight roster for that night. Opening it, she turned to the page describing flights coming in from the North East of their position....and found nothing. Nothing at all. Not for another two hours. Then what the hell could it be?

"Frank, get over here. I got an unidentified." Behind her, Ensign Frank Sin stood and walked over. He was the commander of the control room during night shift.

"What is it?" he asked.

"It's an unidentified object, stupid. If I knew what it was, why would I be telling you?" for the next minute or so, she described to him the trajectory and the speed of the object. His face whitened.

"What is it?" she asked.

"It's coming from space...at that speed....there was only one thing it could be...a missile. Probably a nuke.

Running to the far wall, Frank hit the "red alert" button, and, as the alarms started, heard the cities air raid sirens begin sounding. Which confirmed his belief...it was definitly a missile.

OOC: I'll type some more about the embassy response in a bit, I g2g for now. Anyway, hope you don't mind my rping your air raid sirens going. Seemed realistic enough.

OOC: I'll give you this much... you're ambitious. You may want to look at this thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=130933&highlight=) some time, it lists the nations I've actually noted as having embassies in my nation. I'm going to have to add your nation to it now because I like your post...

I'm not going to RP anything right now because I want to see Doujins responce first... afterall, I'm not sure it's even close enough for your equipment to pick it up as that would assume you can pick things up in space...

Hattian Missile Control: Undisclosed Location

"Commander, missile launch detected from Doujin. Calculating likely course now..." Commander Markov walked over to the man that had spoken and peered at the radar. "It isn't coming towards us... it looks like it is heading towards... Iuthia!" Commander Markov gasped and ran to the secure phone. "Doujin has launched a nuke at Iuthia!" he slammed the phone back on the hook and picked it up again, now calling the embassy in Iuthia. "Get down in your shelter, Doujin has fired a ICBM at you guys!"

Hattian embassy in Iuthia

Klaxons began blaring around the embassy, the embassy staff and ambassadors made quickly for the bomb shelter under the embassy. Ambassador Yishnev really hoped their anti missile systems were as good as the Iuthians said they were.

OOC: My mistake, I didnt read the system correctly.

Then again, moving the atmosphere may not have all that much of an effect. ICBMs are built to withstand some disturbanc eon their travel :P

Plus the loosening of the atmosphere is not going to do anyone on the ground too many favours either....

OOC: My mistake, I didnt read the system correctly.

OOC: Hm... I think the point is that the missile would be pretty destroyed without having to resort to changing the atmostphere too much...

This is a system that is designed to hit multiple missiles coming all at once... so I doubt there will be much left if we concentrated on one. I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure I can destroy all of it...

And again, SS is taking pop shots at it with his stuff.

Well, the missile used was one of Doujin's specially made ICBM launch vehicles. It uses an advanced scramjet engine to get it up to speed quick, and on re-entry it aligns itself and descends (i spelled that wrong i think) and then activates another pair of Scramjet engines once it leaves the exoatmosphere

[I'm not to good on this missile stuff.. so... plus it was electro-magnetically propelled from the launch site.. it should have been in the exoatmosphere in about 3-5 minutes, and up there for about 10-15, then back down engaging scramjet engines again after leaving the exo-atmosphere]

"Get our people on the line over there, get them in the bomb shelter section, if they aren't already there."

"Yes, Minister."

"AND GET ME A DIRECT LINE WITH THE LEADER OF IUTHIA"

"Ok, we have about 15 minutes before it impacts on Iuthia. Is there any way we can change the trajectory? Maybe disable the warhead?"

"Yes, Minister. There is a remote-disable device.. but the warhead will still impact."

"Could we change the trajectory to our embassy there?"

"Maybe, the new computer system installed at Omicron Silo should have the feature. We can change it.. as long as we do it before it enters its final stage. After it enters its final stage and starts its ScramJet engines then no can do."

"Get on it, you have 10 minutes."

The group ran to their consoles and began remote-linking to the computer system at Omicron Silo. After several painstaking minutes, one yelled "GOT IT!"

"Got what?" said the tech leader, William Bransen.

"I'm into the trajectory systems. Changing coordinates to the Doujin Embassy. I have 1 minute 21 seconds before it goes into it's final stage. Call those people up and tell them they gonna have a missile impact them at Mach 9+."

"And get the Iuthian government, tel them to clear out that area!"

[Sorry SS.. no fun if its get shot down :P]

OOC: I'll telegram you some questions I feel must be asked, otherwise I'll play along with it.


On the streets of Iuthia Prima (Iuthia's capital city) people made their way underground to the specially built basements of the buildings. This much could be said for Iuthia's main cities; they built their building to be defendable, not beautiful. Many building were built with additional fortifications which doubled as some kind of decoration on the whole it was a nightmare to an artist but military experts felt at home.

Of the many embassies in Iuthia, estimated to be around 90 countries now, all of the staff were in their specially designed basements. All of which were fully stocked to last for some time.

Now the streets were empty like the ghost town of Chernobyl... the Iuthian people didn't loot, they didn't panic... or at least not openly. This was something serious and the people of Iuthia were renowned for having their feet firmly on the ground, probably because they lacked the imagination.

Now they wait in the cool underground bunkers of Iuthia Prima... it was like a small city under the earth, many bunkers joining to allow free passage, many building connected so that the people could wait together, holding their loved ones...

Everyone waited for what could be the end of their world as they knew it.


-----------------

Meanwhile Lord General James deGritz, leader of Iuthia was being taken away on a converted Hippogrith Support Craft, the Hippogrith it was based on looked to be a bastard child of a helicopter and a light hover tank. It's perpose is to transport troops, supplies and pretty much anything which need mothing quickly. In this case this special craft carried Iuthia's benevolent dictator.

He had been pulled from the safety of the Command Centre because it was proceedure and he couldn't fight proceedure at a time like this, Iuthian's lived on proceedure. However it wasn't all bad, this craft is highly equipped with all the latest information technologies that Iuthia could produce. It was like his office with wings.

So now he quickly breifed himself on the situation, the predicted damage should the weapon hit, the military capabilities of the Doujin army and anything else his staff though he may need on his journey to Haven.

But the most important thing he needed right now was communication.

A young officer by the name of Willis aproached him. "Sir, we have the leader of Doujin on satalite uplink sir, we're patching him through now."

"Thankyou Willis, that'll be all." He watched Willis move up to the front and then slowly switched on the moniter beside him.

"I would prefer it if you are brief and to the point, I have a missile coming towards me and I need information." He stated to the screen, waiting for a responce.

Seeing as the missile missed the satellite target, the king calll the Doujin goverment."Can you disable the missile? I have an island that you can point it at if you need it"

Iuthia, check TG

Veritasean Aerospace Command
Undisclosed location off of Unum Veritas' main coast

*************************

"Heat bloom," a technician monitoring heat signatures around the world called out in the nearly silent room.

"I've got it too," another said.

"Opinions?" the current officer-in-charge asked his subordinates.

"Probable launch of an ICBM; origin: Doujin; destination: unknown."

"KC-111 SpySat confirms the bloom as an ICBM launch. Trajectory path shows Iuthia as a probable target."

"Isn't Iuthia the head nation of the NAIA?" someone suddenly wondered aloud.

"S**t!" the commanding officer swore, "Patch me into High Command, they're gonna want to hear about this."

Thirty minutes later the heads of all the branches of Unum Veritas' military were aware of the situation and were headed to Highland Castle to meet with the High Chancellor. All Veritasean military units across the globe went to an increased alert status. AEGIS and other AA systems went active and defensive formations were adopted.

Twenty minutes later
Highland Castle
Residence of the Veritasean High Chancellor

*******************************

"Comments?" High Chancellor Sparrow asked his assembled advisors.

"We have a treaty obligation with Iuthia, sir," the Minister of Foreign Affairs stated, "But we have no such ties to Doujin. This launch is an act of war by the Doujinishi government towards Iuthia and we must be prepared to respond in like fashion."

"Our SDI systems are designed to protect our own country," the general in charge of Veritasean Aerospace Command chimed in, "so we can't do anything about the missile, except pray its a dud."

"I've double checked all of our sources," the intelligence minister stated, "None of them had the slightest suspicion of this attack."

"Look, an attack, and probably a nuclear one at that, has been made on an ally of ours. We need to send a message to Iuthia's government reminding them we are here if they need us. We also need to keep in mind that we could be a target as well, so I recommend AEGIS cruisers be moved into all major ports and as close to every major city as they can get. SDI systems need to go to an increased alert status, as well as all of our nuclear forces. Bombers should be on standby and the ICBM's should be prepped for launch; just don't give launch authority to any field commander yet."

"Very well," the High Chancellor said before turning to the Minister of the Imperial Navy (the highest ranking military officer in the country), "Write up the orders and get them out."

The High Chancellor then sent the following message to Iuthia's government:

Back at you.

Unum Veritas, we will reply tomorrow, I'm up pretty late and I need more information before I can reply.

"We are disabling the warhead with our remote-disabling link, and are changing the trajectory to the Doujin Embassy. She will still make a blast.. but it will be conventional, and not very big. Well.. she is hitting the ground at Mach 9+ speeds so, maybe a little big."

"The person responsible is dead. He tried to fire on two armed military guards, and got hit with three in the head. His name was Major Zack Tubis. Tubis appears to be of Iuthian descent, even tried to join the military but couldn't hack it through boot camp before being cut. Immigrated to Doujin about 25 years ago, and applied to join the armed forces. Great military record here.. he asked to join the Nuclear services.. worked his way up the ladder at Omicron silo to become second in command there."

"And, I guess it's out.. we have nuclear weapons :? even though we publicly denied the existence of them."

thirty minute and it would have landed already :P

I'd thought it was implied that that storyline had begun when the missile was launched; hence it beginning with the launch bloom. Also, were your last two posts public statements so that all countries know ICly what has happened or not?

Was to Iuthia only.. if you read Iuthia's second to last post we were in a direct conversation.

"Very well" James gave a look of relief, if only for a moment.

"All our civilians are currently underground, we can see the chances of human loss here will be limited, if none... we can't be sure everyone got underground however the damage will be extensive no doubt." James sighed.

"Transfer all relevent details on the man responsable as well as the weapon that hit us... give our servicemen something to use in their calulation and later investigations. We would suggest an immediate public apology to calm down our allies, no doubt they will be livid. I can't promise you an easy ride though... "

OOC: G'night.

***wired to all news agencies***

"Thirty minutes ago, a 100 kiloton nuclear missile was launched from one of Doujin's multiple nuclear missile silo's. A rogue military officer, Major Zack Tubis, who is of Iuthian origin shot and killed two senior officers at Omicron missile silo, then proceeded to launch a missile in what was supposed to be a simulation. He immigrated to Doujin about 25 years ago, and applied to join our armed forces. He was decorated with many medals, and had a great military record in our nation's military. He asked to join the Nuclear services.. working his way up the ladder at Omicron Silo to become second in command there.

During a routine simulation, Major Tubis and Colonel Randy Lopol unlocked the confirmation safe with two types of snap-cards. One is for simulations, the other is for actual launches. At this point in time, Major pulled out a silenced pistol and shot Colonel Lopol in the head, taking two live launched snap-cards and headed over to the launch confirmation terminal and shot Lieutenant Chris Sievers two times in the chest. He then proceeded to enter the launch codes, and entered the firing solution.

After targeting Iuthia for some unknown hatred to his own people, people cought on and took control of the silo. Major Tubis was shot three times in the chest when trying to resist.

The nuclear missile that was launched at Iuthia has since been disarmed, and should be crashing into the Doujin Embassy in Iuthia within a few minutes. This will not detonate the nuclear warhead, but it will detonate a conventional blast. The Embassy will be destroyed, but at a cost we are willing to pay. We do not want innocent lives killed.

The missile itself takes the quality of other products of Doujinshi Corporation. It is built to do the job, and circumvent almost all anti-ballistic protection systems. It's speed an manueverability make it very powerful. It has electro-magnetic shielding, it's advanced computer systems can detect changes in it's trajectory and work around them, and it can even launch chaff shields to disrupt anti-ballistic missile fire.

[I don't believe in lasers, I think they are to "advanced" or something. Until I see a large laser today that can destroy a missile going at Mach 7+ then..]

Iuthia has been notified of who is responsible, and all information regarding Major Zack Tubis, his friends, and the video tapes at the silo are being relayed to the Iuthian government so they can see if this is an act of a terrorist organization."

The Minister stepped back, put his hand up to quell questions, and walked out of the room.

"Why us, Jonathon? Why us."

OOC: Future note Doujin: The reason this missle got through is not because of the quality of the missile... far from it. It's getting through because plot demands it. You can't say "I don't beleive in your tech" when you are attacking someone because the act of attacking them in itself is acknowledging my nation along with any technology I choose to have.

For later reference, missile attacks like this will fail 95% of the time. I don't like having to allow something to get past my highly exspensive systems which have been upgraded to hell by my allies resently.


[In the Streets of Iuthia Prima, outside the Doujin Embassy]


The streets of Iuthia Prima were silent, completely void of the sounds of human existance as only the wind remained. Occasional a plastic bag would rustle, or a pigeon would coo, but otherwise these street were empty as the people huddled below waiting for the final exclamation mark of strike against Iuthia's capital city.

It was a warm spring day in Iuthia Prima, normally people would crowd near the fountain around the statue of Premier Alexey Zvarinsky, the leader of Zvarinograd who was celebrated for his work towards peace. On this day children would be heard in the streets and people would be in a relatively good mood...

Instead they cowered underground. Children could be heard crying, mothers would sob in fear of their loved ones and fathers would be in silent contemplation of the bleak future... Iuthian's were renowned for their imagination, so thus far they followed the small information they were given "A Nuclear Missile is heading for Iuthia Prima" and it dominated their minds.

No one heard the approach of the missile, now one heard the crackling of the sky as the very air itself stuck out at it for the first time... no one knew it hadn't worked, that the NAFDA system had, against all probability, catastofically failed the second attempted to hit a accelerating target as it's power failed from the first attempt...

With the contingencies gone all that was left as the eerie calm before the chaos...

Everything was silent for a moment...


Then a world of sound exploded from above, the volume enhanced due to the concentration of the listeners as the Doujin embassy was obliterated, buildings surrounding the embassy withheld as a testiment to the Iuthain belief that everything must be built to last... though they were scorched black and severly damaged. All the street fixing were either bent or destroyed and cars were either flattened or flung in random directions...

It took a few moments before the area gre silent again... but even then the silence would occasionally be broken by peices of rubble falling from their position.

Iuthia waited for the news, was their home city now irradiated or just mearly damaged? Most people didn't know the intel that the government of Iuthia did, but none the less the INOC teams prepared to investigate the possibility of contamination... no nuclear blast had occured, but they wouldn't know that the warhead hadn't leaked until they checked...

(Bump)

Iuthia, I wasn't refering to your tech. I was refering to S.S., and I don't believe I was attacking him :P

OOC: I have a strong and binding mutual defense agreement with Iuthia through UnAPS, so we would treat an attack against Iuthia as an attack against us. Also, any weapons grade lasers will have to be large as current miniaturization isn't up to developing smaller beam weapons. Besides which, I'm near-future tech and lasers like the huge 747 mounted one are well within my tech border.

Edit: Deleted for obsolesence. (sic)

What huge 747 mounted one

OOC: You do know that the military is going to build several 747s with lasers mounted in the fuselage capable of taking out missiles hundreds of miles away? MTHEL is deployed too, just not in large numbers.

I was under the impression that it was a large guidance laser for missiles..

OOC: I know people are inclined to skim-read but I was kinda hoping everyone would notice the fact I've roleplayed the damage so far as being "Doujin Embassy obliterated, surrounding building highly damaged but standing (because embassy is stand alone and Iuthia conciders strong building materials over comfort, as described in my OOC fact book) otherwise it's a mess without a nuclear blast...

So all this talk of where it's going to hit and the damage caused is moot point, me and doujin are both competant Roleplayers and we organised the fact that the missiles would hit despite numbous nations that could have saved me...

Hell, I even had a ton of nations on IRC suggesting they could "scrag" the missile for me...

I was just pointing out that in a normal circumstance I am not prepared to let a missile get through my system, this will be IC explained in the upcoming RP with an INOC investigation into why it wasn't destroyed, coming to some important conclusions saying it was a fluke.

I just need it to be clear that this isn't a precedent for other nations to use as referance in the future. In a situation where my nation is going to be turned into a nuclear lump my chances of taking out ICBM's go up exponentionally depending on the situation and quality of the resulting RP. Any idiot firing 500+ plus nukes may even find a 99% success rate and up because firing 500+ nukes at a nation is bad RP by most peoples standards.

(OOC: Has Doujin reported that it wasn't their government yet? And is news of the missile out? Just wondering.)

OOC: If you read Doujin's post after the coded reply by Iuthia you will see Doujin giving you pretty much all of the plot and situation.

Underneigh that is my RP describing the ICBM's effects and the general mood.

It is safe to say that half the world could have watched the ICBM fly into Iuthia... modern technology allows them to follow such things with ease. It is also safe to say that the ICBM hit, but reports as to the damage will not be known for sure until we report them... I'm assuming no nation has a satalite in position over Iuthia right now under the assumption they should say so beforehand, not after; so no pictures as of yet.

However, all nations should be able to note that no seismic activity has occured in such a way to suggest a nuclear blast... most nations check for this seismic activity on a regular basis (most RL nations do) and they would have known if a nuclear weapon had gone off in Iuthia.

"No seismic activity, comrade Valkov. Iuthia is safe from a nuclear blast, for now." An officer speaks through a communications sattelite uplink terminal in a bunker below the United Communist States of Zvarinograd embassy. "Shall I send out a communique to Iuthia?"

"No. Not now, I will handle that." Valkov replied in a cold, calculating tone.

"Dah, comrade Valkov. Nihikov out."

One in a million chance of it even coming close, much less hitting the embassy. How will I explain this failure, human error? This might even raise suspicion that we sabotaged the defense system. It could ruin our integrity, our economy, everything our country dreamed for, lived for, died for.

Valkov swept everything in his desk with his right hand in fury.

Damn it, damn it all to heck.

Carefully the INOC team approached ground zero of the destruction caused by the Doujin ICBM, they were all wearing the normal white NBC suits carefully walking to make sure their didn't fall and break their sealed protection. Dust was still falling from the blast but otherwise the giga counter was relatively silent, ocasionally makings the odd noise against the natural background raditation of Iuthia.

So far it seemed like the warhead was intact, but they wouldn't know for sure until their reached it. Some cars had landed on the street they were walking down, completely writen off and scorched it was clear that insurance was going to pay dearly for this incident... but as they approached the centre of the noticed they noted the mangled area as near by building were wrecked but still standing, meanwhile the centre of it all was little more then rubble with metal girders poking out of the top...

Suddenly the giga-counter started, slowly at first but with increasing intesenisity as they approached... they didn't need to move too close. They got the message, it was highly unlikely that the warhead would survive landing at the speed it had...

"Sir, we're picking up some pretty heavy radiation around ground zero, it looks like the warhead has been breached..." The team leader reported on his radio.

"Very well, close the area off and we'll get a clear up crew to join you are soon as possible..."

---------------


James had been imformed about the situation and was preparing to send the imformation to all concerned nations to give politicians the news. It seemed that the leak was limited but would take some time to completely clear... eitherway it was going to probably be cut off for some time.

[code:1:79fed45429]To all Nations with Embassies in Iuthia Prima:

We can now tell you that the ICBM launched by Doujin has obliterated the Doujin Embassy and severly damaged surrounding building, as for the nuclear material on board the ICBM; the INOC team has recorded a breach in the warhead and has picked up a large amount of radiation. Nothing that can't be handled but will make the clean-up operation longer.

So far as we can tell the ICBM's nuclear payload of a 100 kilotons yield warhead was de-activated and averted a catastophy. As for the NAFDA systems failure to destroy the ICBM in the high atmostphere we have thus so far assertained that the system was at not at fault but the power supply had failed to fully meet the systems demand... lession will be learnt and more details will be available once a full investigation has taken place in the up coming months.

Meanwhile more conventional anti-missile systems are being deployed.

Thanks

|Lord General deGritz, leader of Iuthia|[/code:1:79fed45429]

"Get me deGritz."

"Yes, sir."

"General, the condition of our embassy personnel? Have you reached the bunker?"

Post by Doujin, stupid me on my other nation

OOC: Was that last line refering to me Doujin?

Yes it was, Iuthia.

Lord General James deGritz, leader of Iuthia was now settling into his secure bunker at location: unknown. He didn't need to be there as the danger was over, but his security personel instisted on it for the time being.

Now he had a direct link to the leader of Doujin, throughout the situation James's somber expression had remained the same...

"Your people are safe, that much we are sure on. We made sure their moved to a bunker away from the point you were aiming for... though we doubt you can retrieve anything from the wreckage of the embassy as it will have to be de-contaminated and all materal will have to be safely disposed off..."

James looked down at some files infront of him then looked back up.

"We can set up a secure line for your embassy staff if you wish to speak to them yourselves..."

OOC: BUMP
IC:
FPS would like to congradulate all those involved with the incident in question on their quick and succesfull responses. It is truly amazing that so many nations were able to put aside their diffirences and come together quickly to stop a travesty from occuring. Iuthia, if you need any support from our nation, you have it. Again, congradulations everyone.
