A petite, slightly distressed woman comes on camera, her hair mussed and suit slightly out of place. The dust on her clothing and hair suggest that she had been near a broken vaccum cleaner. She is standing in front of the Venit Building, a large and important part of Highfather(TBD's capital city)'s commercial and financial structure. Explosions are being heard at odd times, including one right before the woman begins speaking.

"This is Marianne Weathers, with TBDNN!" she yells over various explosions. "It appears anti-monarchy terrorists have-" she braces for another explosion, "-taken over the Venit Building!" She pauses and runs behind the news van. "They are hurling grenades and have taken-" another explosion. "-hostages! Special Forces units can't get close enough to the building!"

"Marc! Marc! Stop rolling! We have to get out of here!" she runs into the TBDNN news van, and as it drives away, another explosion was heard not far from the former spot of the van.

OOC: I need someone to RP the opposition?

Magdha opposes the terrorists and condemns their cowardly attack! We are sending Red cross agents to TBD.

Maharaja Chandragupta of Magdha

Thank you, but be careful. The terrorists have absolutely no descretion as to their targets. I suggest that you set up camp in the Capitol Park, about a quarter-mile from the site.

We will be sending about 12 "special" people to your nation I think their skills can help you quite a bit.

Maharaja Chandragupta of Magdha.

OOC: I'd be glad to RP the opposition. I'm good at negotiations and the like, along with small numbers such as this.

OOC: Thanks, Daylam.

IC:
I think I know what you mean, Magdha. Just tell me what you plan to do with them when you formulate a plan.

Xeraph is sending 15 Blackhawk HC gunships with 10 troopers on each ship. I will also notify your regional allies as to your situation.

Alaric

OOC: So far, I know the terrorists/rebels are anti-monarchist. About how many are there, and what are they armed with? This is all OOC information for me.

Thank you, Alaric.

At Capitol Park

http://www.trellcan.com/MilitaryTents/moretent.jpg

Various field hospitals have been built. Also, temporary landing pads have been erected and other military infrastructures have been set up. Different news crews have also set camp here.

OOC: So far, I know the terrorists/rebels are anti-monarchist. About how many are there, and what are they armed with? This is all OOC information for me.

OOC: There are 450/500 rebels in the building. You can have a bomb, no more than 550 lbs. There are about 50 hostages, not including women according to Burnsian custom. The terrorists have suicide belts (not all of them, though) and AK-47SUs. Some have RPG-7Vs, and all are armed with grenades. The terrorists accessed the building via Chinook helicopters, which later were shot down by Burnsian jets.

OOC: This might be a little specific, but what is the usual 'fanatic' rating for these guys? No compromise? Or are they sort of rational?

OOC: They want the dictatorship back. They are a bit rational... but I wouldn't go too far.

If the Constitutional monarchy of Culdoria recieves a mandate from the The Burnsian Desert, it would like to offer 5 elite special covert-op squads to assist in freeing the hostages. We would also like to offer several tons of medical supplies.

PulpuFictiona is home to many a terrorist and feel compassion to your terrorist attack, although we are much to small a nationstate to concentrate any military than to that of our own problkems


-again our condolences.

Thank you, but we are sufficiently covered in the military area. We could use some more doctors. Several people have been injured by grenades thrown from windows.

Thank you.

Lord Opelheimmer would like to offer his condolences to the Burnsian desert, as well as 50 highly trained medical staff and 5 military observers to observe and note the actions of these murderers and butchers.

The rebels maintain a tight security around the building, with constant watches maintained with men with AKs. A system of command is set up whereby any sort of trouble or attempted break-in is dealt with immediately. All patrols are equipped with two-way radios, and if any goes missing a 40-man rebel force responds.
Any discovered break-in attempt will result in the killing of every hostage.

Thank you, Culdoria.

OOC: And if we just blow the crap out of the building to send a statement? Just kidding. :lol:

IC: And how do you expect to negotiate without hostages?

OOC: Well, I'm gonna say they are pretty smart. They are sending the message "No break-ins or everyone dies", but they wouldnt go through with it unless thoroughly pushed, ie several attacks.
IC


We are almost certain that if a strike force enters, there will be no need for any more negotiations. If you value the lives and emotional states of hundreds of men and their relatives, we suggest you return the dictatorship.

The man was lynched. What do you want? Another dicatator? Do you have a candidate or what?

SECRET IC: He wasn't lynched, he's rotting in a prison somewhere. You can know this if you want.

OOC: Can I do it where the rebels know, but the rest of the world doesn't?
IC


Lynched! So the pathetic monarchists state. You and us know full well he is waiting to be saved in some dungeon, wondering where his followers are. Well, let him know, we are here, and he shall be restored.

OOC: is this dictator a nazi/facist/extreme right-wing advocate?

OOC: Sure. That's cool. Free reign from here.

IC:

TO: EMAILREROUTE@VBUILDING.WIRELESSINTERNET.TBD
FROM: NEGOTIATOR

Look, I know you know and you know we know. Is there something else we can work out? There are some family men in that building. The dicator was sentenced to life. The best I can do is a retrial.

[/code:1:1e9383694f]

OOC: Test tomorrow... gotta turn in. G'night all.

OOC: Same here. And I hate math in all its incarnations. See ya tomorrow.

Your Highness, Queen Rachel:

We have been advised by King Alaric of Xeraph that you have a terrorist situation in your country. We have contacted the other nations of the region of Isla Christus and we are putting together a coalition task force to come to your aid.

We will let you know when task force is assembled. Should be no more than 4-5 days.

Duke Lemastra

OOC: Are events in other nations allowed to be included in this RP? Just aslong as they are relevant to the story/plot? :?:

OOC: Sure.

TBD, our Special ops squad has arrived with red cross workers.

I was hoping that we might be able to use them to sneak in and free the hostages.

Thank you. We still don't have a plan, but these men should help us back one.

TBD, our Special ops squad has arrived with red cross workers.

Thank you Magdha. We have built tents near the command center especially for your troops.

your hospitality is appreciated.

My men have in their posession a small mortar.

This mortar is made to fire a special round which sprays 1000sq meters with a gas that causes people to go into a deep sleep. It is perfectly safe and designed for use in such situations. all I need is permission to use this and then your police can storm the building from the ground and mine can enter via the roof through the air vents.

Maharajah Candragupta of Magdha.

Alright. You have the go code. I don't want any Indias.

Alright. You have the go code. I don't want any Indias.

What do you mean you don't want Indias?

India is the Civil Air Patrol code for disasters/casualties/dangerous situations that would attract the media.

We will send a team of two Mi-8L air ambulances, fully-equipped to treat personnel in the area, with their teams of physicians and nurses. Our sincerest condolances for this reprehensible attack. Were our forces not already stretched we would offer more.

Thank you very much.

The twelve spec ops have borded the Blackhawk, we are going in once the sleeping gas has been launched.

mmmm... bump

AFter reviewing the situation, The Armed Republic Of Luftsgerden launched a small task force of Special Operations troopers to TBd. They quickly entered the building after a coded message was sent to these patriotic freedom fighters. They issued gas masks to all the freedom fighters and took up positions throughout the building. They are all well armed with M-4 SOPMODs, grenades, and sniper rifle (Not all of them have sniper rifles, of course.) Our Government issues this statement :
" Any atemept to storm the building will be treated as an attack on Luftsgerden it's self."

(In case you ask, they used a V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor to enter the building.)

Yeah... It would have been shot down. No way anything gets into TBD during an attack.

bump

In a coded message to TBD, the Luftsgerden government offers to take out all the terrorists in the building. And you would shoot down any plane that comes into your airspace? That's dumb.

OOC: Sorry TBD. I had an uncle that died and I was sort of indisposed.
IC


Let it be known to any and all that wish to save the lives of these pathetic anti-monarchists. Attacks on our building will result in the deaths of ALL of them.


To TBD: A trial? A court hearing? So he can be thrown back in a dungeon to rot? It will end up in this exact situation, only the corrupt government will be better prepared. No, I think not.

OOC: Sorry TBD. I had an uncle that died and I was sort of indisposed.

Our governmen tis sending in an unarmed negiotiator. He will try to resolve this problem. Our government has realized the grievances of each side. We do not wish for this to erupt into an all-out civil war.


Daylam: Our advisers suggest that the hostages be broken up into small groups and moved throughout the building. Or has that already happened?

OOC: Wait till TBD returns. It is pretty likely that a helicopter coming into her airspace and attempting to land on a terrorist building is
A. going to be blown out of the sky by her
B. going to be blown out of the sky by me

*A message for the terrorists*

1) You will kill the hostages unless your demands are met;
2) Your demands will not be met since they are not supported by the population;
3) You will therefore kill the hostages.
4) Any attempt to storm the building will result in you killing the hostages.
5) Therefore, given that the consequences for the country are identical in both feasible outcomes, it is quite likely you will be violently slaughtered by the Government's forces.

Yours with apologies for your impending violent slaughter,

A. Komarov, Foreign Sercretary, The VAMS of DPUO.

P.S. Terribly sorry if you're going to be reasonable.

OOC: Sorry TBD. I had an uncle that died and I was sort of indisposed.

OOC: :( Sorry to hear that.

To TBD: A trial? A court hearing? So he can be thrown back in a dungeon to rot? It will end up in this exact situation, only the corrupt government will be better prepared. No, I think not.
IC: Then what then? What can we do? Changing the government over to a dictatorship would require years, and many revolts. There is no way.

In a coded message to TBD, the Luftsgerden government offers to take out all the terrorists in the building. And you would shoot down any plane that comes into your airspace? That's dumb.
Any unidentified aircraft heading towards an active riot/war/standoff zone as outlined in Article 8, Section B, Paragraph 2 of the Burnsian Military Handbook.

Whose to say it wasn't identified? Also, until those soldiers landed, how could you have known their intentions? You would just shoot down a possibly friendly aircraft for next to zero reasons. No wonder you are the 6th dumbest in your region!!!! Also, I wasn't "godmodding" because our 25th amphibous fleet has been in the area for some time. It contains The R.L.S. Grengs Heli-carrier, landing craft, and a Marine Brigade.
The 25th was escorting a merchant convoy to Samaikzar. After this situation became apparent to our nation it was put to standby for combat operations.

Whose to say it wasn't identified?
You would have to RP that.

No wonder you are the 6th dumbest in your region!!!!
There are six nations in my region, o smart one.

You can start by removing 'rotting in a tortuous dungeon' from the equation, swine.

Swine? I am fully human, thank you.
And we don't let people "rot" in "dungeons". We re-educate them and release them back into society as a contributing citizen. The ones who reject re-education stay until they accept it.

Can I get a BUMP?!

Re-educating? Indeed! The equivalent of brainwashing our leader until he has no desire to take back his place. No, release our leader, perhaps then we will back down. Until then, there is a pretty young women here with a grenade strapped around here who *really* wants our dictator back.


**Transmission ends with a typical 'evil villian' laugh**

After a series of communications with TBD, the Luftsgerden Government decided that it severely dislike these terrorists. Our Special Ops soldiers have begun taking out the terrorists.

Score so far:
Spec Ops: 3 (Including one Suicide Bomber)
Terrorists:1 (Out of 25)
Hostages released: 6

Now would be a great time to storm the building.

(Sorry, Daylam.)

Another two Mi-8Ls are being lifted to TBD (ETA 1 RL hour), and will assist the two already present intreating any casualties.

OOC: Uh, exactly how are you doing this. If you want to fire on the men you are going to get 300 hostages killed not 6 released. You have to have permission from TBD to attack the building.

Daylam, Although we support you we cannot support or even allow terroirism to occur. We are sorry for this action but hope you will understand.

300 Meters from the building:

The Mortar crew loaded the small projectile into the 88mm feild mortar. The gunner aimed carefully and pulled the trigger.

The round sailed into the air and silently burst over the building, instantly the gas was spewed over the entire building and the surrounding areas.

The terrorists and hostages then collapsed where they stood into a deep sleep.

TBD, it is safe to enter the building (With gas masks), retrieve the hostages and do as yuo wish with the terrorists.

OOC: Maghda, these terrorists are not supported or even communicated with by Daylam. I simply offered to RP them for TBD. Dont judge Daylam by this cause we would never support terrorists. You also didnt RP arrival of your forces. And before you got in range of the building the few snipers we had would deal considerable damage.

Back at the beginning, it says the terrorists are 'anti-monarchist'... then it says they want the monarchy back... which is it??

while unable to help, dakara does send flowers with a sympathy card.

Nevermind, I understand... a DICTATORSHIP is not nessecerily a monarchy! (sorry about the spelling of neccesarily...)

while unable to help, dakara does send flowers with a sympathy card.

haha...

While also unable to help in a military fashion, New Gumboygle stands by with medical supplies when needed.

The hostage retreval team waltzed into the building and handcuffed all the terrorists in the lobby. There were no hostages in the room, but the squad kept ready.

"Clear!" shouted a soldier as he burst into an adjoining room.
"Clear!"
"Clear!"
"Clear!"

The squad moved up the stairs and secured the offices of Greg and Guble. In it, they found forty-five hostages and twelve terrorists, all in proverbial la-la land. As they charged up the stairs to the overlook, they blew the door and came out in normal SWAT style. On the roof, they found the terrorist leader and the remaining five hostages. The leader had a Skorpion MG.

"Don't move, monarchist scum..." he said.

One of the men readied a flashbang behind his back, and gave the tap to the next squadman that meant, "Close your eyes."

What IS the difference, though?

What IS the difference, though?

OOC: Well, TBD, looks like you have this attack under control. If you ever need another one RP'ed I'm always ready.

OOC: Oh no you don't Daylam, you get right back here and RP that terrorist!! :lol:

OOC: Haha. Sure.
IC

Looking desperately around and realizing what was about to happen, the terrorist looks at the hostages: an old man, several children, and their mother. He uses what was left of his humanity and throws himself off of the building, his cause and dictator lost, probably forever.

OOC: There we go.

IC:
After the terrorists were slapped awake, news crews were called to the scene to witness their execution. The squad leader of the team that infiltrated the building stood in front.

"This is what happens to terrorists and spies. They are dealt with. They are punished. They are killed."

http://www.punjabilok.com/news_files/dec/images/indians_executed.jpg

He pulls out his M-9, and, going down the row, executes each prisoner one by one.

OOC: Daylam check TGs.
