[Encrypted Communiqué to all military personnel within Nova Hope]

We are upgrading our current ammunition stores to be M* compliant. Every ship that comes in will have its personnel trained and its officers briefed in the new systems. Exceptions would be troops in theatre which will be briefed and brought to compliance after their operation has closed. We expect that full M8 compliance will be achieved in eight months. (Sixteen RL hours) Estimated cost of training and ammunition purchase will be in excess of $209,600,000,000. This will be paid in full in installments of 26.2 billion over ten years, bringing the total with compound interest to 242.11139902887297024 billion {[decimals will be rounded against us]}. Please prepare your departments for up coming training.

This official communiqué was sent from the desk of the President Eric Lincoln to The Authoritarian Dominion of Transnapastain.



Greetings to our new friends in the Transnapastainian government, I bid you hello. We have as agreed begun to equip our armed forces, excluding the Black Throne as we are holding it exempt from this retrofit and those currently in theatre in Columbia and a classified location. With some four million persons being trained with the usage of this weapon, yes four million it is mandatory for our desk staff to be combat trained, we have begun to run into simple logistical errors and the such as can be expected on such a large training program. Seeing as how your military has already gone through this retrofit process we are requesting that you send a variety of advisors and training instructors to smooth the transition process. We will be training our forces in thirds so we will not be caught unprepared but with your help I am sure that the training will be swift and efficient.

My highest regards and my unparalleled optimism for our future co operation
-Eric Lincoln

“General?” said Colonel Fires, poking his head in the door

“Oh, hey Greg, come on in.” said General Davis

Colonel Fires walked into office and sat down in a char opposite the Generals desk.

“What have you got for me?” asked Davis

“Well, sir, we have a reports from Kaukolastan, some kind of big diplomatic function going n over there. Umm, Armed Lumberjacks is reporting normal, Nailiak says there’s someone logging his or her trees secretly again. Oh, and Nova Hope has begun their refitting of their military, have sent a requested we send some advisors to asset them.”

“I see, send Captain Kacy and his Scorp team, the ones that served in the Volgan war, and have them help them in any way they need.”

They were prompt to say the least. The President had sent the message only yesterday on now the 747 was coming down on the tarmac only twenty six hours later. The all look military, possibly officers, no to well put together for that, some sort of field ops. The PM thought to himself smoothing his suit jacket down. He looked around as the baggage cart roller towards the rear of the plane. Beside him joint chief Harold Hamstan was forming his own opinions, sizing the visitors up. In a low, almost under his breath, statement the chief spoke, “how much access will we be giving these guys? They already look like the own the place, sweet Allah you came out to meet them.”
“They’re just here for consulting and efficiency purposes.” Tatsui chewed out his reply. The Transnapastainians came from the plane in a comfortable but polished stride towards the motorcade. Tatsui took one last long savoring drag before he flicked the cigarette to the ground. Not bothering to step on it he strode towards the obvious leader of the group and made an exhale motion to empty his lungs from the smoke before introducing himself with a smile and a hand shake.
“Greeting and welcome to Nova Hope. I’m the Prime Minister Tatsui Isobe.” Beside him the Chief stuck his thumb into his chest and spoke gruffly, “Hamstan.”

OOC: You can post or not trans basically I’m content in the fact that the world knows I’m not just pulling this out of my ass. If you want to continue it for awhile cool but I don’t wanna take up too much of your time.
