Three months ago in the Veracruz Naval Research and Development Complex...

It's a cold, rainy midnight. In the complex, one building is illuminated, as serious work is being done. Scientists, engineers, military officals and construction workers labor on a new submarine. It looks different then any other submarine, as it has a large scoop in the front and jets in the aft.

Finally, after 6 months of hard labor, this new submarine is almost complete. The Typhoon-II class Attack Sub was almost complete.

Daytime. A small crew of 15 board the sub and activate it's systems. The reactor buzzed as the ship powered to life. 30 minutes later, the submarine, escorted by a Los Angeles Class Submarine moved off into the Carribian Ocean. Both subs were using propellers and traditional methods. As they got to the testing range, they submerged.

Finally, the captian of the SAS Typhoon-II ordered out "Kill the engines and proced to hydro-drive. The sub fell silent as the engines shut off and the propellers stopped rotating. As the sub was deaccelerating, the scoop slowly opened up and water filled the compartment. Within a 7.89 seconds, the scoop was fully opened compartment was full. The only thing obstructing the scoop was a ram designed to block sea animals from getting caught in the compartment.

The Chief Engineer said to the captain, "The compartment is full, we can test out the system now."

"Then engage the jets."

The jets in the back of the sub fired the water from the compartment. After 5 seconds, the submarine began moving again. Slowly, it accelerated up to 3/4 full speed. Yet, despite the high rate of speed, there was almost no sound produced, at most, to the sonar and sound officer in the Los Angeles class sub, the Typhoon-II sounded like a whale swiming through the ocean. The sub moved on for several miles until arriving back to port. The test was a sucsess.

Over the last three months, several more tests were conducted, all were successes.

A secret message was sent to various allies of the DPUANL.
[code:1:e691181e73]Comrades,

The ANL has created a new submarine propulsion system that will be implemented on our new Typhoon-II class submarines, possibly more. This system operate on water propulsion and if you are currious and want to learn more, we are going to demonstrate the system for our allies.

For the defense of the people.

[/code:1:e691181e73]

Allies welcomed to attend demonstration:
Rotovia
The Zoogie People
Communist Louisiana
Hell Bovines
Ariddia
Kay Son
Iuthia
Beth Gellert
Neo-Soviet Russia
Any ASDU/RBA Member

OOC: If you haven't figured it out already, this idea was very much based off of the movie/book "Hunt for the Red October."

the PRKS will send an observer to such preceedings, and is charged with the interest of having it built on Kay Son soil. [btw- Kay Son is two words; not one]

OOC: I just noticed my error, sorry...

Portmeirion, The People's Commonwealth of Beth Gellert

News of ANL progress was generally well received in The Commonwealth, where many were under the impression that the Aztecs were technologically somewhat backwards. Any boost to the defence of global revolution was a good thing, it was supposed.

Word was sent that The Commonwealth meant to send Consuls to witness the display.

OOC: Im ashamed of myself that you didnt put me on the list

The Dr_Twist Government is always interested in Technological Advances by our Allies!

OCC: Hogs you are on the list u fall under RBA/ASDU members.

Oh ya - dumb me ! Id love to come.

Are Communist International members invited too? :P

OOC: Hogsweat, you are still considered part of the ASDU like how Hattia is part of the ASDU. Also, your new organization is a ally of ours, so...

Sure, however, I am going to limit the number of other communist nations to about 3, as we have just developed this techonolgy and we do not want it to get it the hands of a imperialistic Anti-Marxist.

[code:1:6c2d32ebb2]
Attention all nations who are invited to attend:
The demonstration will take place April 8,2004. We will disebmark from the heavy cruiser SAS Challenger and will proced to the testing range located in the remote parts of the Carribian ocean. The place will be heavily gaurded by Aztec ships and submarines, also, we will have jet fighters patroling the area.

BUMPAGE for Allied Viewage

I am very interested in your new systems. I will personally come see this and meet with my comrades of your nation.



Premier DuFour
Premier of CL & The International
New Orleans, Communist Louisiana

Congradulations on your new technology, ANL. As an ASDU member, we would very much be interested in sending representitives to observe your demonstration.

Herman
Minister of Defense

OOC: Yikes, been gone from NS for a whole week. I will have this back up again tomorrow.

OOC: was wondering why news of the civil war went silent for awhile.

(How was it I missed this? Must've been a night I was off...Though I must say this, I am honored to be listed as one of your allies. Brought a smile to my lips.)

OOC:
Kay Son- Yup, aside from being out of town, I've been busy with homework, a family crisis (not involving me much), visiting my friend and helping out at a retirement center by teaching the residents how to use computers keeps me quite busy)

NSR- :)

IC:

At the temporary new location of the Naval Research Center in Puerto Vallarta (as Veracruz is in a state of urban warfare), several of the ANL's top military engineers, Naval officers and military advisors prepair for the upcomming briefing. Outside, the finallized submarine, fully crewed along side the heavy battlecruiser SAS Challenger and the submarineSAS Maya. As the ANL contingent finish preparations, the ANL's allies represenatives arive.

(OOC: Ended up talking to Chellis about the nation claims bit and AIan, he said repost and he'll see. Also...one day, if you'd be ever so kind, I'd be interested in having some war games. Training for me, to get used to working with actual armies)

Among others to arrive is Premier Adin Estridge, head of the USSNSR.

Among others to arrive is Premier Adin Estridge, head of the USSNSR.

We are glad to hear thatand considering the infinatly improving relationships between our two nations, the Premier of our nation would like to meet with Premier Estridge after the demostration.

If any other of our allies would like to meet the ANL's premier, we will try to arange for such a meeting.

Premier Estridge would enjoy nothing less then to speak with the head of the ANL. He shall be looking foward to it, just as he is looking foward towards the demonstration of the newest vessel of the ANL fleet.

A rocket-like module exits Sub-Space heading for the planet, a Satellite deployed quickly as it begins to achieve a stable orbit. All sensors are on ANL, the Rudavian Allies are watching with interest, even as they were forced off their Motherworld so long ago....

The government of United Elias wishes to know whether this design is for export.

The government of United Elias wishes to know whether this design is for export.

At this current time, we are only going to export the technology to our most trusted allies with some special conditions, as the technology is new to us and we want to work with it more before we decide to export it.

So far in attendance:

Neo-Soviet Russia
Nodea Rudav

I would like some more allies to be present before I start the demonstration. However, if they are not here soon, I will begin, as cruel as that might sound.

Can we send an observer team?

Of course (How ironic, A couple of seconds ago, I sent you a telegram inviting you :))

We will definately attend.

ANL IS BACK!

*dances in the corner

CC comrades Edwina Wager and (Captain) Parfen Jones almost enjoyed their long trans-Pacific flight aboard one of the first Marathon diplomatic transports to be refitted with quieter Pheidippides turboprops and more comfortable interior fittings. Still, flying at below 400mph made sure that some degree of tedium had set in.

Some degree of tedium, eyestrain from so much fine print, repetative stress injury from so much chess (Parfen won each game too quickly for his own good), and moderate alcoholic intoxication.

They arrived in the end, of course, touching down in the Aztec National League a little later than intended. Comrade Wager wanted to see some spectacular buildings, while Jones was a little more focused. The fastest submarine he'd ever commanded was the 24knot nuclear hunter CS Bookmark, an Anunkai of Tethys Squadron.

Premier Estridge, curious, would like to inquire on what subjects the ANL Premier wishes to speak about.

OOC: Yup, I'm back for good. I was out of town last week, helping my mom re-arange her apartment.

IC:
Thre military officers, a sub-commander, a Lt. Commander and a Major wlaked up to the Beth Gellert represenatives. In a friendly gesture, the captain extended his hand and spoke

"Welcome, comrades to the ANL. We are glad you could make it. I am Captain Martinez, this the Major Travis and Lt. Commander Yoltzin. If you will come with us, we will lead you to the base where the submarine is stationed at. However, if you wish, you can explore the nation until the demonstration begins in a while."

SOVIET BUMPAGE

(OCC: Yet you answer not the question I ask...*sniffles*)

The delegate from the PRKS follows the ANL representatives, all the while taking notice of all his surroundings. A small clicking could be heard from his pocket.

OOC: Clicking, ehh. Gyger counter, bomb, camera? Oh well.

NSR, I just noticed your question, sorry.

IC:
SECRET TELEGRAM TO NSR:

Premier Quetzalcoatl wishes to meet the premier of NSR to get to know him better, and to talk of a possible trade/technological exchange and a mutual defense alliance after the demonstration.

(Maybe a cricket? It's possible...and early here..)

Secret Telegram...
[code:1:1cf14a3d54]To: Aztec National League
From: Neo-Soviet Russia

Premier Estridge would be more then willing to meet with Premier Quetzacoatl on these grounds. The Premier also has a few things he'd be interesting in discussing, one being a possible exercise between the two nation's militaries. As before said, Adin Estridge is looking foward to this meeting.
[/code:1:1cf14a3d54]

The delegate from the PRKS suddenly realizes that there is a clicking noise from his pocket and looks down. The noise stops. He quickly hastens his pace to catch up with the rest of the party.

After showing the allys's delegations around, the ANL guides lead the group to a interesting, modern looking building. The Major then said "That is the Research Naval Center. Originally, it was in Veracruz, but since of the civil war has ravaged the city, command moved it to the opposite side of the country. We may enter now, but do mind the gaurds there, they are understandably over protective of the facility.

Dark eyes of Premier Estridge looked over the establishment. An interesting building it seemed. The dark brown orbs then glanced at the guards, clad in light armor with assault weapons. Made sense. Shrugging, he followed the guides, entarage of two others behind him.

The PRKS delegate:

"interesting..."

Hmm, ate my post yesterday...

Anyway, I'll send Admiral Vladimirovich to watch...

Inside were several prominet figures in the ANL. First, there was the of the Naval, Admiral Thomas Stricklin, the Forigen Affairs minister, Dr. Darius Wellington, the Vice-Premier, Coyotepec, and the inventor of the new propultion system, Chief Engineer Daniel Romero. The Admiral paced back a forward, although nervous, he still looked calm. In his black dress uniform, he looked different then the armored vests and fatigue pants the JWIs gaurding the building wore.

Then a message came over on the intercom.

"The delegation has arrived and are waiting in the lobby. Shall I direct them to the meeting room?"

The Vice Premier stood up and walked to the intercom device, fliped the switch and said "Yes, send them in."

(bump...figure you'll have us walk in, yourself)

OOC: BUMP, I want to keep this RP alive, but I do not not control your characters, NS ediquate unless with your explicit permision (SP?)

(Welp then..for something like this, i'll give my explicit permission for you to lead Premier Estridge to this meeting room. Simply due to this being an establishment of the ANL)

(bump for a comrade)

The Premier of Neo-Soviet Russia walked into the room. The ANL Admiral walked up and welcomed all of the delegates.

"Welcome, comrades. It is good to see you all." The admiral spoke with a cogney accsent. "It is good to see that you have interest in the progress of our nation. Please sit down at the chairs reserved for your party. May I introduce, Dr. Darius Wellington, our Foriegn Affairs minister, Coyotepec, our Vice-Premier and I myself, Admiral Thomas Stricklin. The Premier will be here shortly, however, he had a situation to deal with, something to do with the rebels abbandoning their stations."

Premier Estridge extended his hand, shaking each of the three men's.

"Comrades.."

Dark eyes then swept over the room, then over the three men once again.

(Sorry...not much to rp at the moment I believe. Also, where've ya been?)

(Sorry...not much to rp at the moment I believe. Also, where've ya been?)

OOC: All over. I'm normally doing hours of homework, but I'm also working a couple of hours on Thursdays and Fridays (Thurdays, I voulnteer at a local retirement home to help out with computers and on Fridays I work at the home for $10 an hour.) Also, this last weekend, I've been out of town, my sister had her birthday party and I went out of town all weekend.

(OOC: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. My name isn't Jack, but I'm working like crazy with school. I have no time for anything these days.)

"We are glad you could make it to the meeting" Said the Vice-Premier to the delegates. "We are hopping you will be impressed by this new technology."

The delegates sit down and prepair for the briefing.

The Admiral stands up and speaks to the delegation "Comrades, for long, the ANL has neglected the military. While the skill and valor of our warriors and troops have been able to counter act our stagnet development, we have decided to up date our technology. Among our most important breakthroughs is the development of our new submarine propulsion system. This system is a new era for us, as it gives our submarines a great stealth advantage. Now, we will not use it offensively against any of our allies, but, we want our allies to know where we are at now. Any questions before the system is explained to you?"

Bump?
