The RSC Inc (Recreational Services Collective) has decided to buy the beautiful, splendid and marvellous La Palma island from its citizens and make it into one of the finest places on beautiful planet earth. The Garden of Eden would look like a landfill when compared to it. Each citizen above 16 on the island is given 25 million US dollars to cover all of their future expenses, beggars and homeless have been given a home and after that, all inhabitants agreed to hand over the island to RSC Inc. We have promised them to leave all their freedoms, political and civil as they were and the other foreign industries will never ever set foot on the island without persmission of the people who live there. We even let them keep their flag. A ship of the red cross is coming for some people who are ill and we are treating everyone with the highest respect. A few people complained that their home, their island has been overtaken but after a conversation and a kind smile the people were pesuaded to accept the corporation's authority. We won't force anybody on the island to learn our language or history. In fact, we promote the use of Spanish on the island. We are making it a free, happy and joyful paradise on earth.

The women, men and children who live nowadays on La Palma are perhaps one of luckiest people on the planet. They have money to burn, a great island without polluting industry and a bright future for their children. The weather is also terrific. What else do you want?

VERY SECRET IC: A special SoT transport is bringing 10.000 tons of TNT and C4 to the island. Since the ship travels in a boat which was used by the International Red Cross no one notices its dangerous cargo. The route has been chosen not to go near the coast since the ship would trespass national waters. The ship remained at all times in international waters.

OOC: Forget the other terrorist RP, that's peanuts compared to this.

OOC: Looks like people never heard of La Palma island before. Well I'm not bothered with that, it makes my job only easier.

It is now 2 years later...

VERY SECRET IC: Another large shipment of TNT and C4 have been shipped to La Palma island. In the same ship faring under the Red Cross flag it carries roughly 50.000 tonnes of explosive material.

On the island itself a major excavation is going on. Around piece of rock 500.000 tonnes in weight SoT miners are working to place explosives in the faultline which was created during an eurption in the 40's. When the ships comes into harbour the explosives will be brought into place and then it's only a matter of connecting the wires... This won't take much time since a large portion is already prepared for one hell of a firework. Near the shore under the rock a tunnel system has been dug out to make the collapse even easier.

OOC: I think the people here are just plain ignorant. If they knew about La Palma then they would jump on my like vultures on a rotting carcass.

EXTREMELY SECRET IC: Today the last explosive charges have been placed. All connected to 10 different points where everything can be detonated at once. This is to prevent annoying nation to spoil our plans. Later that day contact was made between all the buttons and only the key to activate the whole sequence needs to brought to man in charge there. It was time to let it happen. Or at least, make it look like some natural disaster. A catastrophe waiting to happen.

OOC! Sorry for the gravedigging but I needed to revive this.

IC so secret hardly any of the terrorists actually know this!

Are the bombs set my fellow terrorists?
Yes they are, the stage is set for a very unpleasant wake up call in America.
Hahaha ahum well then, where is Mr Averam? He was going to detonate the stuff in the huge cracks beneath us.
His flight is delayed. Apparantly they are searching for terrorists on each flight.
Hehehe HAHAHA. Okay, we'll wait. If he doesn't show up tomorrow morning I'll blow it up myself.
Why not...

The 3 men walked away to the hotel and ordering to protect the fault line with the whole Sirens of Titan policeforce on La Palma.
