Should Atlantis go public

Modern Atlantis
22-07-2004, 07:02
In the recent rising of atlantis, we have learned a great deal about the world. World wide trade is at an all time high. In the High Council room..a debate spawns about Atlantis going public, by opening its reigon up.


Frensod Sadro, the 13th member of the High council, and also the youngest, at 2,540 years speaks: I do believe that this would help us greatly. You see, our ultimate goal is to restore the earth to beauty, not this filthy wastelands that it is today, if we allow people to come to our island, they will realize our purity. Also if we trade more, we will get better known in the international scene, therefore having more say.

Timrers Ghallino, one of the elder members of the council disagrees. This is defeating our purpose. If we allow these neanderthals into our island, they will trash it, pollute it, and tear it apart. Also we open the way for terrorists, possible invasions, and other bad things.

Macy Winden, the only female member of the council agrees with Timrers. With our military and economy unstable at this point, imperiel nations could easily take us over and dominate us. Our power crystal has been disabled, we cannot go into slumber again in case you havent noticed. This time we willl die.

Brenrok Sadro, Frensods Older brother, agrees with Frensod. Yes but we could show people what the world should be like, with our island. No other place on earth has ever had as beautiful oceans as ours. Besides, no country would dare hurt us. I dont think they would want to.

The debate goes on..

"We've got engine failure here, Poloni! My plane is going down!"

A spit, sputter, and roar. Smoke began to pour out of the Arx Anglian scientist's plane. He struggled for control of the vehicle, but he could not. The Bermuda triangle was a dangerous place to fly over, but with these recent disturbances... It was worth the risk.

Although, it seemed like the risk had ended in failure...

ooc: I suppose the sci-guy is gonna end up crashing into Atlantis, and somehow surviving...

EDIT: Unless, you don't want this to happen, of course. :)

An RF-1 is on patrol, you know, looking down at the ocean. Maybe looking for drugs, refugees, terrorists, who knows. The Pilot looks at the giant Island, he looks at his GPS, it's never been there before. What the hell was it? He decided to make radio communication... if they had radio. What was the point anyway? Hmmm, it was worth a try anyway.

This is Fire 4 to unknown landmass, what is your tag? What is your name? Do you even have a name? Do you even have radio?

He awaited a response.

OOC: It's modern tech right? If not, ignore this post.

Advanced tech..If you've ever played Starcraft, think of the protoss (only humanoid), or if you have ever watched Babylon 5, think of the minbari. Advanced, but so primitive.

As the debate goes on, a the communications crystal flashes red. The message is broadcasted across the debate room. One of the council members stands and walks to it.

"We are the island of Atlantis. What is your business flying over here? How did you get here?"

He awaits a response.

The Pilot start bumbling.

What?! Oh man this'll make History! Permission to land!

The RF-1 is still flying in a circle motion, armed with four Sidewinders and one 1,000 pound bomb. The Pilot looking at the Island with amazement.

OOC: I guess neo-modern XD

The crystal, glowing red again..

permission..to...land.. Is managable to hear above the incoherent pilots bumbling


Timrers Ghallino glances to Macy Winden, who speaks into the crystal
"Permission granted. We shall clear off a landing strip"

Timrers Ghallino: What are you thinking?!?!?! With those weapons??! He could easily kill us all?!?!!?!

Macy Winden: I know what im doing....

She turns around and walks to a panel of assorted gems, she pushes them in a correct order. Outside 3 skyscrapers spread apart, as if on some gigantic conveyer belt. enough for a plane to land safely in.

OOC: Note the RF-1 is just an F-18 but with a different name.

The Pilot looked as the buildings split apart. The Pilot shaked his head, he needed to land his plane. The gear started to slowly open, the RF-1 glided to it's landing, stopping after a few minutes. The Pilot, takes out his Colt .45, and puts it in his compartment, luckily it had one magazine.

He steps out, in standard flying clothes, of course his helmet was off. He looked around waiting for a response. Hello! He shouted in his British accent Anyone? He started walking around...

The entire high council leaves their capital, and walks to greet the stranger

Macy Winden:Hello stranger, i am Macy Winden. I am the one you spoke to via the crystal

Pilot: Crystal?? What crystal

Macy Winden: That crystal you used to communicate with us.

Pilot: I didnt use no crystal, i used this

The pilot pulls out his radio.

Macy Winden: Ah i should have known...wires and all that stuff..so complicated. Anyways, come inside..Sit down..tell us about these modern times..apparently times have changed...you have finally invented means of transport...other than footwalking and wooden ships.

OOC: Don't play as other people's characters, it's illegal. Just lettin ya know.

The Pilot starts to look around and starts to follow Macy.

Well... we have planes, metal boats, tanks, cars, shuttles... He thinks for a minute. Why don't we sit down and I tell you what's happened in the world, much more comforting...

A military Zas-27 jet was flying over the Bermuda Triangle, returning from a patrol flight, but just then, there seemed to be trouble in the engine

"Well dang, my engines are starting to weak down, how did that happen?" the pilot said.

Just then on the computer screen, the GPS screen disappeared, then a skull appeared, laughing with the letters LLF. "OH HELL" he yelled when he saw that, someone broke into his control panel.

All of the sudden the engines shutted off. The aircraft started shaken widly, Pilot Zaken G'Horn holding hard on the flight stick.The aircraft started to fall down towards a unkown island. He started pushing the eject button, but the button was offline thanks to some bug a LLF terroist planted secretly earlier.
The ground got closer...The pilot now started to move the jet up so he can crash land into the isalnd than die...30 seconds now..more pressure..10 seconds..9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1..........

The jet started to smash into trees,bushes,rocks. But finally the aircraft stopped right at a cliff.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The pilot smashed the canopy glass, started to climb out. He had pain in his leg, a piece of glass hitted his left leg during the landing. He trys to walk with his survival kit supplies, but the pain is bad, he crawls towards a hill, but tumbles down to a ditch, he finally couldn't take the pain anymore, so he went unconcious from his injury. Deserted on a island...wondering how to survive......survive..survive.

OOC: You cant even control other peoples chars for something as small as that??? I didnt know..hmm...

IC:

Macy: With all this technology..has anything useful been done? you have descripted things that hurt the earth, destroy lives, and do other harmful things. I have already witnessed examples of humans attempting to create life other than naturally.

A distant crash in the background shakes the ground.

Macy: What was that?

She runs towards the site of an accident and finds a mettalic twist, fire burning and smoke rising. She sees a man laying semi concious in all the wreckage.

Macy: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?! WHAT TYPE OF SNEAK ATTACK IS THIS?? WE HAVENT BEEN BACK ON THIS PLANET LONGER THAN A DAY AND ALREADY WERE BEING ATTACKED??? WHO SENT YOU???!

The Pilot rolls his eyes.

Ya that's our History... He then rushes and follows the woman, looking at the crash, watching as she yells at him. He then taps her on the shoulder. It's called a crash, he's hurt, and I think he needs help too dear.

Recovering from the quick black out. "Wha."he said "What is this place"he asked. He tried to answer the womans question, but he was wounded so bad it was hard to talk. Blood was already starting to come out of his leg as he plucked out the piece of glass out of his leg

Macy, furious at the deformation of her island, even in the slightest way, ignores the pilot and looks towards the injured man.

This is atlantis. Who are you and why did you crash??

She starts to sympythize a bit at the mans peril and injuries.

Macy pulls out a small orb, and speaks into it. Get the medic team down here now.

A few men, dressed in white, walk over to the pilot and carefully remove him from the wreck. As they do this, parts of the plane explode, a blast which would have killed the man had he been in it.

"Alan..tis..? my lord"he said, he then blacked out again. The planes main cockpit exploded some, defiantly rendering it beyond repair.

The Pilot looks at the injured man. I'll be sure to fly you outta here.

He walks over to Macy.

Dear, this is the World, and expect some more of it. We have imperialist nations, socialists, communists, monarchies, democracies, dictatorships, too much to count. He chuckles to himself. I'm from the Island of Rose, my name is Alexander Frederick. I'm actually a minority, most of the Rosians are Russians. Now, is there anything you need to know?

"I think I want a cheeseburger." Says Mrs. Keg.

"I dont think you need one." Says Adolf Hitler.

Ten minutes later, after buying cheeseburgers their car explodes. Jhenova blames Atlantis but doesn't seem to really care.

Alex looked out from his farthers small fishing boat, they had been driven by winds far to the north, away from the bambinio coast. "farther, look!" He cried seeing a landmass on the horizan, "What!" His farther replied, "There should be no lndmass here." They sailed towards Atlantis.
Modern Atlantis
22-07-2004, 19:42
Macy looks at the injured man, who loses conciousness, and then to the pilot whom she was conversing with.

Go, now. Take him back to safety. We shall clean up his mess. Do not send anyone else here, or they will NOT return.

Furiously, the scientist attempted to regain control of his plane... But it was no use. His only option was to eject, and hope that someone could find and help him.

22-07-2004, 20:17
The ship pulled up against a small sicluded bay, a river ran into it. Immidetly Alexs farther ran to the river and took a drink. "I don't understand," He kept saying that again and again. "Theres no landmass here, it's like it's atlantis or something."

OOC: Im gonna make a new thread describing atlantis better. ill post a link to it


IC:

As the two pilots fly off, Macy walks back to the council room, where she takes her seat and sighs

Already we have had two visitors, one which scarred our island. The world does not seem like a pleasent place to be.

Frensod Sadro glances at Macy, and then speaks. While you were outside, i have received two calls from nations who wish to study our religion. The council has voted 6-6 on this. We need you to make the final vote.

Macy glances around, and then thinks a bit. Well..i suppose we could allow one or two philosiphers (spelling?) from each nation. All they want to do is study....i guess...

Alex and his farther began to walk inland following the river, then as they crested the hill they saw it, the city. "Jesus christ!" They made towards the city thinking they could find a Austian embassy there."

Frensod Sandro: It seems diplomats are arriving already..but one of them seems to be a child..odd. Do people send children as diplomats these days??

Macy Winden: I will go check it out.

She leaves the tall building and climbs down the stairs (OOC: this building is as tall as the empire state building..the council room is on top floor..thats alot of damn walking :P)

She leaves the building, and looks to the two who are gazing around at the marvelous city.

Macy Winden: Welcome to Atlantis. May i help you?

"Atlantis!" Alexs farher seemed to be shocked,"Is there a Austian embassy near here, our ship just got wreaked, of course if there isn't Aust won't look on it nicely if you keep us captaive" Somehow alex thought, this isn't how you should speak when you meet a person from a new nation

Macy: So your not a philosopher or a scientist? how did you hear of htis place and get to it??? No we dont take captives..unless you do something wrong..then we get angry.......*she mumbles off into the distance* anyways..Would you like something to drink, eat???? If you are lost i can have you sent back on one of our ships, if yours is broken or damaged.

Alex intervened before his farther could speak, "No where not Philosophers or scientists, just fishermen, we where blown north by a big wind. Our ship got wreaked, we walked here to see your wonderful city. May I have a look round? And I would like something to drink."

Macy shuffles uncomfortably. Yes...i suppose you can have a look around. There is a fountian in the middle of the city. You can drink from that, it is safe. Also if you get lost, just walk back to this building *she points to the top of the council building.* you will be able to see this building from any point in the city, because if you havent noticed it is the tallest building here.

Over in the president's office at Furor Atlantis (on the northern tip of cyprus, underwater) President Nathan Phillipa discusses with his cabnet the situation of our Elders, the Modern Atlantis.

"Clearly they have been shut out with the rest of this world for milleniums! They must learn about other cultures. It is a danger to them - they could get invaded by multiple countries!" Shouted Tric Dumin, head of national and semi-international matters.
"Some countries are already beginning to devise invasion strategies. We are all Modern Atlantis trusts. We must warn them of attack from the Egyptian navy." President Phillipa yelled with a pounded fist. Indeed, the situation looked dim, all ancients were stubborn.
"Agreed." concluded secretary of state Andrew Magnus "I will phone the head in charge at Modern Atlantis, and tell them to prepare for war."

"But what about the army? They cannot prepare for war! They almost have no soldiers! We must send reinforcements!" Barked Tric Dumin

With a calm, yet unhappy glare to Tric, president Phillipa gathered his papers and walked away, leaving a symbolism of betrayal. "The Ansestors are stubborn. They will never let us within their gates. The best I can do is warn them in advance. Us Atlantians are a proud race we cannot except pity help from others. They would rather die honorably. At least they can draw their swords to their stomachs with this phone call."

"Thank you, I'm sure that your city is the one of the most butiful in the world. Maybe afterwards we can contact Aust?" He set off to have a look round, finding the acutecture and butey of the city incredable after the uniform dar skyscrapers of the Bambinio coast.

36 hours passed since the Meeting of Furor Officials. President Phillipa phoned the head of defense at Modern Atlantis. As expected, the Ancients were too disgusted to be horrified.

Head of Foreign/National Affairs Andrew Magnus points out that Modern Atlantis has been out of contact for milleniums and militarily unprepared for the 2,000 ship Egyptian Navy.

Trying his hardest to "sneak" in the idea of letting Furor Atlantis's Imperial Oceanica Navy sink the fleet, he reminds the prime minister of how connected the two civilizations are.

"Sir, when that fleet comes, all will be lost. Too many are hoping to kill off and loot such a magnificent civilization. Such a waste is a loss of cowards. The most conventional thing to do is request reinforcements.

"Atlantis will never submit to a foreign ruler! Let the fleet come! Now that we have opened trade with most peaceful countries, I am sure we can die with security that our corpses will not be looted!"

"In this age and time, everyones after everything! Honor does not exsist. It is all about money, climbing over eachother to get to the top! Please, Master Elder, allow your own child to protect you. Furor Atlantic Imperial Oceanica Navy is at your service." bellowed Magnus, as he quickly jotted down a reminder to ready the Admiral of the Ancient Protection to ready the ships.

"Yes.......Atlantis's son [Furor Atlantis].....lived on when we could not...Very well. Atlantis will allow your grand navy to demolish this enemy of the Descendants of Classical Greece."

With that they both said good bye and hung up. Putting his hands on his face, Magnus exhailed loudly. What a glorious, yet awkward moment.

OOC; Aust, shall we start a new thread containing strictly the battle of the Egyptian Navy against us?


Foghorns blares rang through the thick fog. Gaurgauntaun BioCannon Battleship Cuisers glided to and fro docks, lifting supplies, water, and sailors. According to the internet hacking team in the federal building, the Egyptian Navy current location was eight hundred miles off borders of Atlantis. Everyone gets ready for battle.

Yes. I think thats a good idea.


The Austian navy set sail, to intercept the enermy fleet, but they had another motive...
