Aboard Coastguard IV, the crew members looked over the horizon. Captain John Franks looked out, "Robert, could you please identify that ship at sixty three degrees?"

Robert looked over his computer screen, "Uh, there is no identification for that ship sir..."

John looked over to the communications officer, "Anthony, could you please do a call 112?"

"Yes sir," replied Anthony. He immedialty made attempts to call the ship, in order to idenifiiy the ship. However, his attempts were in vain...

------------------------FIVE MINUTES LATER-----------------------

The Coastguard IV was fast approaching the ship. It wasnt displaying any flags, which was required by world law.

Pulling up next to the ship, the coastguard began to send out messages such as "Prepare to be boarded", however no response came back.

As the ship pulled alongside, the coastguard crew could see it was a large fishing vessel. Immediatly, they worked to tie themselves to the great ship....

-----------------------TWO MINUTES LATER-----------------------

The Boarding Team set foot on the ship. There was nobody around. Without warning, a man rushed out to greet them, "Uh, hi..."

"We are the coastguard. You are ilegally in Austarian Waters...You will submit to a full inspection.", said one of the team members.

"Uh, thats not nessasary, we'll just be right on our way.." replied the small man.

Pushing the man aside, the team members began to search the ship. It didnt take long before they made a find. The ship had been fishing the rare Austarian Barramuni.

The team leader, Peter Cockman immediatly informed the crew, "I am placing the enitre crew of this vessel under arrest. You have been fishing illegally in Austarian waters."

The small man, with hands behind is back seemed concerned, "But what will happen to my ship?"

Peter smirked, "Your ship? No, this is Austarian property now..."

OOC: Anyone is welcome to claim the ship and the crew as theirs if they want. Just make sure you do it in good roleplay form...

OOC: Where does Austar lie, geographically speaking? I ask because Roycelandia often uses Fishing Trawlers as covers for more... cloak & dagger operations, if you know what I mean...

The DN Behemoth slowly creeps into Austarian waters, and throws over a very large fishing net to capture large quantities of the Austarian Barramuni, fine cuisine for the ships crew.

Interesting. Very well then...

The crew of the IRNS Sub Tender Shoesaw Had enjoyed a relatively uneventful journey this far. They were acting in a support role for the newly-launched IRNS Stealth Submarine Swordfish, with extra rations, Rebroadcasting Equipment, a few extra torpedoes, and so forth.

So as not to arouse suspicion, the Shoesaw was disguised as a fishing trawler, and to complete the illusion, the crew had even fished some of the local piscine delicacies.

Usually, that would suffice to keep the authorities away. Unfortunately, they weren't off the coast of Roycelandian East Africa and this wasn't a Lusakan Coast Guard Vessel (mostly little more than a cutter with an MG and maybe a 20mm cannon).

As soon as the Austar Coast Guard vessel prepared to board, a heavily encrpyted burst radio transmission was sent from the Shoesaw to ROYCECOM, explaining the situation and requestion help ASAP.
