Location: The Capitol Building, The Premier's Chamber, Tenochitilan
8:39 PM
(TOP SECRET)
The Premier stood at a giant window, overlooking the beautiful, shinning metropolis of Tenochitilan. The sleek, modern high-rises and government office buildings raised from the sky while the silohettes of the ancient buildings gave a errie look to the foggy rainy night. The Premier sighed and turned towards the center of the room, looking at one of his military advisors. "No, there is no way in hell I will allow such a program to exist. I'm prohibited by our constitutional law and my personal ethics and beliefs. I will not support any program to create weapons of mass destruction. They are cowardly weapons and are too damaging to the environment and innocent people."

The advisor stood up at the table and said sharply "Isn't the point of war is to do a maximum amount of damage to your enemy and keep our casualties at a minimum? It is time we go that extra step and have weapons of mass destruction as a deturnant from other nations from attacking us."

"Who must we be worried about? We're probably one of the most peaceful and well liked nations in this world. Hell, sometimes I wonder why we need a military sometimes," The Premier then turned back around, looking over his beautiful shinning city.

The general stood up, frustranted. "DAMN IT, SIR! You don't seem to realize we are not safe. You read the report our operatives gave us on the condition of Communist Mississippi. And what of the empires larger then us, like Automagfreek?"

Although annoyed, the Premier retorted without turning around. "Yes, I did read the report the AIA presented about their findings in Communist Mississippi. Yes, they may have hostile feelings towards us because of our Native background, and yes, we know they have proxy armies and yes, we know they do not hesitate to use WMDs and yes, we know they have posseition of IG virus, but as far as they are concerned, we're not a target of theirs. And again, we haven't had any problems with any other larger nations. Plus, I doubt WMDs would hardly be a deturant to a nation like Automagfreek."

The General stood up then said "Well then sir, if you don't take care of the situation, I swear on my honor I will." With that, he stormed out of hte room.

The Premier pressed a button on a intercom panel. It conected him to the AIA. "This the Premier, I want you to keep an eye on Warrior-General Azhultan, he might become a threat to security."

The AIA agent on the other line said "Alright, Agent Roberto Garza will be monitoring him."

~~Later that evening~~

The General entered a very dark, very small room. In it was a experimental encryption device and telegram equipment. He then type out the following message:


[TRANSMISSION]
---ATTN: To all anti-communist nations with experience of weapons of mass destruction---

---ANL Warrior-General Azhultan wanting to develop WMDs for nation---

---If you assist me, I will overthrow Communist Regime and pay you back---

---Must be top secret---
{END TRANSMISSION}

The General smirked at reading the transmission "I never liked communism, never liked it at all."

--At the AIA Head Quaters, Veracruz--
A young military officer looked at his computer screen. Suddenly, the screen flashed red warning symbols.

"Sir, we are picking up an unauthorized transmission entering our sattlite comm system!"

The Supervisor got up and stood behind him, "Can you read it?

The computer tried to decode the message, but this encryption was too advanced.


[TRANSMISSION]
---jHih'-aojsojmlkoi-cniheihdisi-148929784203-948yhfdh9q-.,.lj9u0u9-..-smiij snfiajijfid---

{END TRANSMISSION}

"Sir, the encryption key was sent with it, but our computers can't open it."

"I'm going to alert the AIA, the military and the government, this could be an emergency."

OOC: Obviously, this general is planning a coup d' ta of his government and have a massive militarization program. I ask that a fairly large anti-communist nation support the general, both in designing WMDs, the upcomming ANL elections and possibly, a coup.

It's been 6 hours since the General sent out his message. He waited there, quiet, waiting for a possible reply. It was cold, and the rain fell on the tin rooftop of this secret location. Although it was relativly safe, he feared the AIA would be able to trace the telegram back to the orgin, him. It was very lonely, only the constant soft sound of rain and the floresent lightbulb accompanied him. "Damn, when the hell will anybody respond?" Tired of sitting, the General stood up and paced back and forward, just to pass time by. It was awkward to walk in the small building with his heavy, standard issue combat boots. He triped and BUMPED into a table. He looked down, at the table, and as he was about to throw it out of the room, he saw a book, one left over by the radio technician that designed the encryption device. it was call "The Phoenix For the Flame". He knew the about the book, it was a popular book in the Union. He hated fiction books, but, he was bored and decided to read to kill time. He opened it up and began reading. As the General read, he began to formulate his plan to overthrow Communism in the Aztec National League. Now if he could only get support.

The next day - Noon

The General came up to the door of the little tin radio room. He removed the folliage and the camaflogue covering it. He then grabed a key out of his pocket and unlocked the pad lock, entered the small room and turned on the lone floresent light. To his disappointment, there was no reply.

"I can't go it alone. I got to try again. I'll revise my telegram."

Persistant, he sat down at his table and began typing a new telegram.


{TRANSMISSION}
---ANL General Azhultan still wishing to develop nuclear weapons---

---Requiring nuclear specialist to develop a weapon---

---Willing to pay airfare, hotel costs---

---Planning to overthrow communism either through democratic vote or coup---

---Please reply, must be secret, encrypted reply, please send the encryption key in a file I can open, my verification code is STT_9_0_Stargazer_Alpha---


He turned on the encryption device and sent the message. Along with it, the encryption key was sent.

~~Veracruz University~~
5:58PM

Professor Lucas Dundov typed on his computer, writing a new, scaything critism of the Communist government. Some of it true, part of it sensationalism.

The door opened.

Professor Dundov looked up, irritated by this distraction. But his irritation turned to happieness when he saw it was his friend, General Azhultan.

"Ahh, General, it's good to see you. What have you been doing?" Inquired the Professor.

Being serrious, the General replied "I need you to do me a favor, I need to know some economic factors of our country."

Prof. Dundov was perplexed by this request. The ANL military generaly did not care about economics. "Sure, but, uh, why do you want to know?"

The General smiled and said "I want to run for Premier in the upcomming elections and get rid of Communism."

The Professor was taken aback, but, pleased. Being the chair of the Capitalist Union Party, he hated Communism terribly and wanted to uproot it, but the CU was the ANL's least political party, barely holding only 1% of the population.

"Well," said the Professor, "I don't recomend you run on the Capitalist Union ticket. We are considering disbanding because of our lack of popularity."

The General smiled and said "How about I run on my own ticket, the Democratic Republican Party?"

Intrigued, the Professor said "Well, here's some ammunition for you. Tax rates are at 100%, Unemployment is at 0%, but it is all government-supplied jobs, the GDP per capita is $1 is equal to 2.8203 Cacaos, our GDP is $11,959,692,233,058.34. GDP per capita is $6,772.19, but consupmtion is at zero (everything is provided by the government), government budget is at $12,645,696,183,693.75, but the government only spends $12,266,325,298,182.94. meaning it wastes $379,370,885,510.81, but the government dubbs it as "Surplus". We also have a trade deficiet of $306,633,065,124.60."

The General was suprised and said "Starting with that, do you think I have a chance?"

"Well, if you play your cards right and don't screw up, I'd say so. I'll tell the CU, we aren't running this election, we're backing the Azhultan campaign."

OOC: C'mon, this is an open RP. All info was provided by http://www.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?region=The_Allied_Socialist_Union&nation=aztec_national_league and is acurate of 7/29/04.

--Tenochitilan, The Capitol Building--
11:55 AM

The ANL's Minister of War, Chief Warrior-General Tlanextic, sat quietly in his office. He had an appointment with General Azhultan to talk to him about the security of the ANL. The tall, lanky General sat there with his brown Soviet style Uniform impecably pressed and clean.

Knock-knock-knock...

Tlanextic got up and walked over to the door and opened it. It was Azhultan. "Please, come in." said Tlanextic.

Azhultan sat at the chair across from his boss's desk while Tlanextic sat behind his desk.

"The Premier has informed me you strongly disagree with him on his policies regarding weapons of mass destruction." Tlanextic wasn't one for mincing words, he just goes straight to the point.

Azhultan appeared irrtated "Well, I do disagree with him, but my objections hardly call for this meeting.

"Well, you said, and I quote 'Well then sir, if you don't take care of the situation, I swear on my honor I will.' Now, I'm not a politican, but to me that sounds like a threat." Tlanextic sat back in his chair.

"I'm no longer concerned just about WMDs. Our entire system is on the brink of collapse. Our military is only a 2nd rate military, our people are degenerates and devinats, we have record trade deficiets, government waste and tax levels are at 100%. Does that sound good to you? We need a change in system."

Tlanextic was unamused by this argument "As far as I am concerned, our system is ok. Our economy is still rated as "good" by the UN, our military power is ample for what we need and, yes, while we have a very liberal society, it's not all that bad."

Irate, Azhultan replied "OUR SYSTEM IS WRONG! The Premier, the Vice Premier, the Soviet Congress and the Represenative Body are nothing but terrible fools who profess good will to all and protect the less fortinate, and yet they have the market completely controled, no civil restrictions on our people and a military that is not worthy of our nation."

"Calm down," said Tlanextic, showing no emotion "act in a civil manner. Ok, you might not like our system, but it is our job to uphold it."

"Not neccisarily. We can overthrow it..." Azhultan was cut off.

"And you speak of honor! What pure treachery and gull you have. You're lucky I haven't called for your arrest." Now Tlanextic was mad.

"Well, I plan to run in the upcomming elections, you can't stop me and I am running on a capitalist, militarist platform." Azhultan said, confindently.

Tlanextic then leaned over his desk and said "Fine, I can't reduce your rank for this, but I will recomend that the Premier fires you from his staff. And for your own benefit, never enter my office again. Dismissed!"

Azhultan stormed out and shut the door. Tlanextic pressed a button on his desk, witch activated a direct comm line to the Premier.

"Hello, Quetzalcoatl here."
"This is Tlanextic, I jsut spoke to your advisor Azhultan. He's planning on running in the elections and wants to overthrow communism. I suggest you fire him from your..."
"Consider it done."
Tlanexitc then said "Sir, he's a threat to our system and our security. His message might appeal to voters and even if he doesn't win, he could have a coup. He did mention haveing a coup to me."
Quetzalcoatl was silent for a couple of seconds and said "Well, it's the AIA's job to keep contant survalence over him, watch for any missteps. However, if he does try a coup, then it is your job to make sure he doesn't succed."

OOC:
Would I be sutiable? I am anti-Communist...

OOC: Thank you for replying. Yes, you can be part of this.

Location: Veracruz
Time: 4:18 PM

Although the rain had ceased, a thick layer of overcast hung above the wet cobblestone and paved roads. Several contruction craines went back to work, putting the final touches of the city that was once ravaged by the ANL Civil War. The air was clean and the temperature, cool.

General Azhultan walked down to the Veracruz Marina. He then came up to a gate, leading to a secret location. Waiting there were two Jaguar Warrior Infantrymen.

"SIR!" One of the JWIs said "May I see your credintials to pass beyond this checkpoint?"

The General reached into his pocket and grabed his wallet. He then showed them his ID card and they opened the gate for him. He entered and would soon be in his personal boat.

Once he got to his boat, he untied the rope anchoring it to the concrete dock. He had noone accompaning him...this had to be secret. He powered up the motor and turned the boat eastward, hoping to be in open water soon.

Although too late, Azhultan went down to make sure he had enough supplies for 5 days. To his pleasent suprise, he had enough for 6 days.

---MEANWHILE---
Prof. Dundov's car slowed down on a old dirt road. He got out and looked around. Nothing but folliage and grass. The General said 'Walk 20 paces to the right of the road. He walked 20 paces, and when he got there, he saw what appeared to be a door. He removed the leaves, folliage and what turned out to be camoflogue and unveiled a simple, tin building. He opened the door and turned on the light, looked to his left and saw the telegram system with it's encryptor. Prof. Dundov closed the door behind him and turned on the telegraph device. He began to type a telegram with great fervor, hoping he wasn't too late. He had to complete this task for his friend and their cause.


---If you wish to help me, General Azhultan in my pursuit to install a new government in the ANL...please meet with me. I will be in a small watercraft 120 miles of the Eastern coast of Nicuragua at 6:00 PM, GMT -6:00 tomarrow (July 31). I will remain in place for 5 days.

OOC: This is open to anybody who support the General. For those supporting the ANL's Communist government, your time to help will be a bit later.

I didn't want to have to do this, but, I must, for the sake of the RP...

BUMP!

Location: 120 miles of the Eastern coast of Nicuragua
12:25 AM

The General waited...day 1 was over. 4 more to go. This did not help his anxious nature. How badly he wanted to start on his quest...but no sign of support on this first day. He decided to call it a night. He got out of his chair and walked towards the stairs.

--BUMP--

He had bumped into a table.

Occ- Can I join in, jump on yahoo fer a while.

OOC: Yes, please jump in. Unfortinatly, I don't have Yahoo messenger on the computer I am on right now. I would download it, but it's a slow internet connection and would take an hour or two to download it. But, by all means, please post!

OOC: Yes, please jump in. Unfortinatly, I don't have Yahoo messenger on the computer I am on right now. I would download it, but it's a slow internet connection and would take an hour or two to download it. But, by all means, please post!


Occ- Well it's time for me to take my nightly scotch and then go to bed. Night all. Well it's actually 4 a.m. so "good morning all"

Occ- CM Rped Henry and narrator. ANL Rped Zeltzin.

The General sat on the edge of his boat, watching the sunset. Day three has come by, and still no sign of help from outside forces. He waits patiently, but inside him he fears his movement will fail. As he is about to call it a night, on his radar, he detects a blip.

A covert radio message was sent to the general of the revolution, "This is Bishop Herman Von Felben of the Christian Martyrs Brigade, I can have 250,000 crusaders, all ex-armed forces personnel, ready to sweep into ANL to help your forces within 1 week."

The General was surprised to have this much support so soon. He clicked on his radio "That would be more then enough...What do you wish in return?"

(Felben) "Nothing. We fight for God!"

The radio transmission ended as abruptly as it had started.

General Azhultan was glad to hear that response. No strings attached. The General smiled and said "And for God, this revolution will be."

At ANL Intelligence the agents were discussing the possibility CM was going to back the rebels.

With them were Vice-Premier Coyotepec, Lt. Commander Zeltzin, Col. Fernando Garza and Jorge Urquidez.

<Vice-Premier Coyotepec> "We have been able to decipher the bizarre transmissions you picked up...General Azhultan has decided to get help from outside sources.”

(Zeltzin) "Who?"

<Jorge Urquidez> "General Azhultan was the Premier's advisor for military actions. He is vehemently anti-communist and he has spoken of revolution.” (Passes folder to Zeltzin

(Zeltzin) "No, who will help him?"

<Agent Garza> "I believe it will be CM. Remember the information you said about having a mercenary army to fight proxy wars? Well, our other Intel gatherings show no other nation is capable of backing Azhultan's supporters. Plus, they are anti-communist too.

(Zeltzin) "Will it be CM mercenaries, or private citizen paramilitaries like the Klan, or that new group we think is linked to CM, the Christian Martyrs Brigade."

<Agent Garza> "Zeltzin, considering that you have developed a close relation to CM's Premier's son, Henry, the AIA is planning to send you on another reconnaissance mission."

(Zeltzin) "Does this mean I have to go back to Mississippi?"

<Agent Garza> "Well, I fear that the answer is yes...However, your work will focus at Stalingrad. It will probably be a short mission, too."

(Zeltzin) (Sighs) "When do I leave?"

<Agent Garza> "Well, have your bags ready to go by tomorrow.”

(Zeltzin) (Sighs) "Fine, I'll be ready. How long will I have to stay, what do you want me to find out?"

<Agent Garza> "You will only be in for 5 days. We will fly you into Stalingrad. Your mission is to try to figure out CM's hand in this, either if it is through their government directly or if it is through a terrorist organization that is supported by them. Also, try to find out all you can about this "Christian Martyr's Brigade. After that, we will try to get a plane to Stalingrad and fly you out."

(Zeltzin) "You realize there are over 200 SA-19s in Stalingrad."

(Zeltzin) "You realize there are over 200 SA-19s in Stalingrad."

(Zeltzin) "I'll only be able to leave if they agree to it."

(Zeltzin) "If my cover gets blown, I'd be in trouble."

<Vice Premier> "Considering how our last mission went, I doubt they would willingly allow us to fly another plane in. Although the mission was a success, it was nearly a diplomatic debacle."

(Zeltzin) "What do you mean? How did it go wrong?"

<Vice-Premier> "Well, a few of their high officers became on to what your mission truly was (Major Bock). Although the CM government never questioned our government on the issue, it is likely Major Bock suggested they not allow any more ANL government planes into their airspace.

(Zeltzin) "Well perhaps I can simply call Henry and see what he's doing right now?"

<Jorge Urquidez> "That is true. In fact, I believe that would be better."

(Zeltzin) "Should I call him then? Does somebody have a phone?"

One of the operatives suggests she use the speakerphone on the table so they can all hear it. She doesn't think that's a good idea.

<Vice-Premier> "I suggest we follow her advice."

She picks up the phone and dials (Occ- ANL takes over Zeltzin for now, CM will handle Henry)

(Henry) "Hello."

<Zeltzin> "Hello...It's me Zeltzin. How are you doing?"

(Henry) "Ah Zeltzin, I'm fine, what about you? To what do I owe this call?"

<Zeltzin> "Oh, I'm doing good. Henry, is it possible that I come visit you? I have missed you so much."

(Henry) "Hmmm... Of course."

(Henry) "Do you need a plane to pick you up?"

<Zeltzin> "Yes, I do."

(Henry) "I'll have them get you a ticket on the first flight from ANL to Mississippi. There should be a flight shortly, same airline as before, that okay?"

<Zelztin> "Uhh" (She lowers her head and shakes it) "Sure," trying to be cheerful "That sounds ok."

(Henry) "If you're not in a hurry, I can send my private plane to get you, it'll take a few hours to get there though, when do you plan to leave?"

<Zeltzin> "Actually, that would be much better." She was relieved at hearing that.

<Zelztin> "Could I come tomorrow, so I can pack everything up?"

(Henry) "Of course, and you can stay as long as you want. You'd be able to meet my father, but they say he isn't doing good, the priests have given him last rites."

(Henry) "He was injured fighting... Fighting... (Hesitating to say the truth) in combat, I'll leave it at that. He was in Libya and was injured in combat." (He was fighting zombies that happened when the IG Virus infected Fabus City in Libya and turned over 2 million colonists into zombies)

(Henry) "I think he'll make it though, the doctors say he will, but he is bed ridden right now, and he can only get around in a wheelchair."

<Zeltzin> "Oh my God! That sounds very sad. I'll stay a bit longer for you then. I'm glad the doctors say he'll recover."

(Henry) "Thank you."

(Henry) "I'll tell you the full details of what happened when you get here. I have to run now, papers to tend to, take care, safe flight, see you soon."

<Zeltzin> "Bye, take care." She clicked the phone off.

Her commander asked her what the situation was.

<Agent Garza> "Alright, what's the scoop?"

<Zeltzin> "Well, Henry Fabus will fly his private jet over to the ANL by tomorrow. He also mentioned his father was injured during combat while he was at CM's colonial holdings of Libya."

The commander asked how he was injured.

(Zeltzin) "About how his injuries occurred, he said he would give me more details."

(Commander) "We suspect that the IG Virus leaked out in Fabus City in Libya. The city has been quarantined for over 4 days now, and it's sealed tighter than Fort Knox. See if you can confirm that."

<Zeltzin> "Alright sir, I'll see what I can dig up."

They tell her to go home and get ready.

First they asked her, "Do you plan on taking any weaponry?"

Zeltzin looked at them and said "I think I should carry a weapon with me."

(Commander) "How do Mississippians view weapons?"

(Commander) "Is weapons ownership common?"

<Zeltzin> "I believe gun ownership is compulsory."

She thought back to the "Kool Kids Klub" boy scout style group selling guns from the side of the road.

She also remembered hearing there was about 20 times as many privately owned guns in Mississippi than there were people.

(Commander) "So there are lots of guns in Mississippi, is that what you're saying? How many is a lot?"
<Zeltzin> "It is rumored that the number of guns in CM is 20 times the number of people."

(Commander) "Bloody hell, they have over 1 billion citizens in Mississippi alone, and over 150 million in their various colonies. That would be over 20 billion guns."

(Commander) "Well then you taking a gun shouldn't be noticed. If you want to take one, go ahead and do it."

<Zeltzin> "Although I would like to take our standard issue firearm, I'll take the smaller .37 Caliber Pistol the AIA doesn't use much."

<Zeltzin> "Actually, I'll take the Walter PPK."

(Commander) "Okay, get on with it then, get moving, contact us the first chance, but don't risk blowing your cover, you can give us a report when you get back."

(Commander) "And take care you don't get found out, we've heard rumors of what CM intelligence does to captured female spies."

<Zeltzin> "I'll give you my reports through the channel leading to the Diplomatic Core, just in case they can listen to our conversations. I'll take care."

One of the other men in the room jokingly says, "You'd better take care, if you get found out, lets just say you won't be sitting down for a few months."

Zeltzin looked at him and said "I'll remember that and when the time comes, you'll be sorry."

He just laughed and said, "Oh I'm playing with you, now go on and take care."

Zeltzin walked out. Once she had left the room, she shook her head, ready to kill Agent Garza.

The next day came and the plane was at the airport waiting for her.

Although she was disappointed that she had to leave the ANL and look forward to being back in CM, she was still friendly and got her bag loaded and when it was time to, she boarded the plane.

She was sitting on the plane by herself; the only other people on the plane were the pilot, co-pilot, and a servant.

The servant said, "Would madam care for something to drink?”

She looked at the servant and said, "A whiskey sour sounds nice."

He prepared her the drink and brought it to her on a plate, "Here you are."


Once the servant was out of sight, she smelled the drink, trying to see if any drug of sort was in it. She didn't notice anything and took a small sip, just to see how she will be in a couple of minutes.

The man came walking back, noticing she had hardly drunken any, "Is something wrong? Did I not prepare it right? I can get you another one."

She looked at him and said, "Oh, no, this one is alright. I'm just taking my time, enjoying the flight."

The servant said, "Very good then" and then moved off towards the back of the plane.

Still feeling all right, she took another sip of it. It was prepared well.

A few hours later the pilot informed the passengers on the plane (All 2 of them) to buckle up and sit down as they were approaching Stalingrad.

Hearing the notice on the comm system, she complied and buckled her seatbelt and took another drink of the Whiskey Sour. This time, it was half gone.'

The plane landed at Stalingrad, with a large thud and a shake, it was a hard landing.

The plane ground to a halt and the door was opened and the stairs unfolded.

Before leaving, she takes one last drink of the Whiskey Sour and tells the servant it was superb.

He said, "I am glad you enjoyed it."

As she comes up to the mansion, she looks at it. It hasn't changed much. Of course, she was only here a couple of weeks ago.

She sees the 6'3 214lb man that is Henry Fabus standing outside the mansion, in the rear garden waiting for her, his black hair is shining because of the recent light rain, his green eyes have a piercing glance.

He is smoking a cigar, he carelessly tosses it on the ground and a servant rushes to pick it up and throw it away. He walks over the greet her.

(Henry) (Smiling) "Hello Zeltzin, enjoy the flight?"

She looks at him and says, "Yeah, the flight was great. It certainly is nice to see you."
He says, "It is good to see you again also."

She feels so small standing next to him, he is 6 foot 3 inches, she is barely 5 foot 8 inches.

(Zeltzin) "So what have you been up to?"

He picks her up in his arms and says, "Oh the usual, papers, reports, files, military operations, intelligence work, nothing I can talk about." He kisses her and then asks, "What about you?"

(Zeltzin) "Oh, I haven't been up to much. The Diplomatic Core has been slow as of recent."

(Henry) (Still holding her up in his arms, kisses her again) "Well things have been slow here, perhaps you'd like to help me get things going fast." (He smiles as he talks)

She laughs and says "Well, first, how about we go out for a bit?"

(Henry) "Where would you like to go?"

(Zeltzin) “Well, can we look at you're father's personal garden?"

(Henry) "Well the gardens stretch for over 9 miles, so it's multi-day event."

(Zeltzin) "Well, then, let's go for a short 5 minute walk."

(Henry) "Okay, shall I set you down or would prefer to be given a tour of the main garden whilst being carried?"

Laughing, she slides around and is able to get on his back.

(Henry) "Hold on now." He starts to walk forward, "Now that statue over there, that is one of father's favorites, it's of Louis XIV of France."

She looks at it and is amazed. It's absolutely beautiful. She says, "Wow, that statue is amazing, can I go over there and see it." She was truly amazed by it.

He walks over towards it.

She gets a closer look at it and looks at its fine detail. It's an amazing piece. Unlike anything see had seen.

(Henry) "Behind the walls of hedges, you must see another statue." (He starts to walk with her still on his back, to a wall of hedges about 500 feet high, they are massive, the center of the main garden, about 5 minutes walk away from the rear of the mansion. He walks down the path and turns into the center of the hedges, she looks up, she can see the top of a statue just peeking through above the walls of hedges, when he rounds the path and carries her into the center, she sees the entire statue, 505 feet tall, it is a statue of the Premier, Curtis Fabus.

(Henry) "The statue is meant to symbolize that the Premier looks out over the land and can see about any mountain, in this case, a mountain of hedges."

See looks up at the statue. It is amazing, longer then many of the light cruisers in the ANL's military. She said stunned "Henry, I'm amazed."

(Henry) "It cost over 1 billion dollars and took 6 years to build."

(Zeltzin) "What is it made from?"

(Henry) "Marble."

She looks at it again. Although it was clearly marble, this peaked her interest. It was hard for her to imagine one nation could have so much marble. It must have come from trade.

(Henry) "They commissioned a battleship class named after father. The Curtis Fabus Class, the original models, the BB-04, were lemons. One capsized when it fired its main guns in the same direction at the same time. So we made the modified version BB-04A, it's over 3,500 feet in length."

(Henry) "The Curtis Fabus Class Battleship has a crew of 4,708, it has nine 30 inch guns, six 12 inch guns, nine 6 inch guns, eighteen sea sparrow launchers, ten phalanx systems, and many other weapons."

(Henry) "I am very proud of our nation's battleship and carrier fleet. We have 22 carriers and 82 battleships."

Zeltzin was paying particular attention to this. It became clear to her--the ANL must avoid all naval conflicts with CM. While the ANL has hundreds of ships in the navy, they are mostly heavy cruisers and battle cruisers.

(Henry) "We have over 100 submarines also, our u-boat fleet is superb, we have hundreds of destroyers, frigates, and other such ships. We have about 550 combat ships and 200 or so supply ships."

Henry was particularly proud of the navy and started to recite from memory, the most recent CM naval figures.

(Henry) "12 Fabus Class Super Carriers (Nimitz just renamed) (50 F-14Ds. 15 F/A 18 Hornets. 20 Rafale M)
8 Baron Class Battleships (Iowa Class just renamed)
10 Curtis Fabus Class Battleships (BB-04A) (Modified model)
60 Arizona BBG Class Battleships
4 Guillean Class Battleships (IDF Super Battleship)
102 Stalin Class Frigates (Oliver Hazard Perry just renamed)
102 Hitler Class Destroyers (Arleigh Burke just renamed)100 Kirov CGN
100 Farragut DDG (stealth)
10 Yorktown Carriers
That is our surface fleet.”

(Zeltzin) "Amazing."

(Henry) "152 submarines, 200 if you count minisubs. And our naval figures aren't even including the colonial navies from nations such as Angola and Egypt."

(Henry) "Although the Libyan Colonial navy no longer answers to us, well not right now anyway."

She was very surprised, although the ANL fleet had 96 more ships, from the sounds of it, the CM fleet was more advanced. As soon as she would get home, she would have to relay the information.

(Henry) "They seceded from the Mississippian Empire. We're currently fighting a war over it, they only have 50 million whites in the colony though, and they can't fight forever. We outnumber them; we have a friendly base in the form of Mississippian Egypt. But the rebels did manage to capture about 30 imperial bases throughout Libya and about 150,000 Imperial soldiers, they also sank a number of the ships we had stationed in Egypt that we sent to get them, they used massive air cover. But we'll be ready next time, we'll have more airplanes of our own."

(Henry) "If you factor the Angolan, Western Saharan, and Egyptian colonial navies into the picture, we probably gain another 75 combat ships and 60 supply ships, not counting submarines. When we get Libya to come back to us, we'll gain about another 30 combat ships and 20 supply ships and 15 submarines."

(Henry) "The White Colonial army in Libya is about 720,000 strong, we'll be sending over 3 million to crush them."

(Henry) "What I am particularly proud of is our air force, over 65,000 fixed-wing combat aircraft. That isn't even getting into the helicopters and C-130s, which we have tens of thousands of. We have something along the lines of 30 to 40 thousand Mi-24s."

She listened on and was still in shock. She knew a war with CM would mean serious trouble for the ANL. Maybe this mission wasn't as bad as she thought.

She then said, "That's truly fascinating."
(Henry) "At last count, we had slightly more than 250,000 BMP-3s and over 50,000 Warrior IFVs, that isn't even getting into the Colonial units either."

(Henry) "Have you ever heard of the T-98 tank?"

Zeltzin asked inquisitively, "The T-98, no, never had."

(Henry) "How would you like to see one in action, they weigh in at 82 tons, the main gun is super effective, the front and side armor cannot be penetrated by any tank known to be in existence. The bottom armor is impervious to all forms of mines that are known. The most effective to destroy it is an air strike with a massive bomb, or a point-blank tank round into the rear armor. It moves at only 30 miles per hour though. 1 T-98 can easily destroy 20 Abrams."

(Henry) "The only problem we've had with the T-98 is if they do break-down, it requires two tank towers to get just one out. Also they bog down in mud easily, but other than that, they're fine. Oh, and they use a lot of gasoline, they have something like a 3,000 horse power engine."

<Zeltzin> "A minor problem, overall, it sounds like a great device.”

(Henry) "I think at last count, we had somewhere around 50,000 T-98s."

(Henry) "Most of our tank crews have over five years of combat experience, many units have ten to twenty years experience."

(Henry) "Do you have any idea how large our army is?"

(Zeltzin) “No, I have no idea. I couldn't guess."

(Henry) "The Mississippian Army is over 17 million soldiers, of which 2 million are in the elite Republican Guard, and 18,000 are in the super elite Special Republican Guard. If you count our colonial armies, then add in about 3 million more soldiers. But the colonists provide the soldiers for their armies, and they pay for the upkeep of their armies, but we arm them and train them."

(Henry) "And that's just our conventional forces, I won't bore you by talking about missiles and chemical gas."

Zeltzin then said "Missiles and chemical gas, too. Yikes, your military sounds like it could crush anything."

(Henry) "So you want to hear about our missiles then?"

(Zeltzin) "Well, only if you want to talk about them."
(Henry) "We have 45,000 nuclear ICBMS, we have approximately 5 billion gallons of nerve agents, we have 4 billion gallons of blister agents such as mustard, we have 4 billion gallons of biological agents. And the gallons, those are stored in 1 ton drums, that's not even counting the stockpiles of gas we have stored in shells and bombs ready for use."

Zeltzin felt very uneasy about this fact. Reason being is the ANL had no WMDs of any sort.

(Henry) "Did you know that our battle doctrine allows anybody ranked captain or higher to authorize the use of tactical chemical weapons such as VX and Sarin?"

Although she knew it, she didn't want to look suspicious. "No, I didn't know."

(Henry) "I promised I'd tell you what happened to father, are you still interested to hear it?"

She said, "Yes, I'm more concerned about you anyways, what's going on?"

(Henry) "Well believe it or not, we have a virus that turns living creatures, including people, into zombies, bloodthirsty zombies. And the virus leaked in Fabus City Libya, where father was at the time, he had to fight his way out. Don't tell anybody about that though, we don't acknowledge having the virus. 1 gallon can end up killing over 20 million people."

(Henry) "It's called the IG Virus. We're working on a strain that will live in water for up to 10 days."

(Henry) "I'm very proud of biological weapons program, it receives a massive amount of funding."

So the suspicions were confirmed, it was the IG Virus. She knew about the IG, but this new strain CM was working on sounded even more damaging. She then said, "Will your father still recover?"

(Henry) "Oh yes, the virus, well he was infected by zombies attacking him, he escaped the airborne phase because he was in a bunker. But the zombies bit him and he got it, but we have a cure for the virus, he took it and he lives. But he still has the massive lacerations caused by the zombies."

(Henry) "The cure must be injected within 3 hours of infection, the sooner the better."

(Henry) "The current strain IG Virus, it only stays in the air for about 30 minutes. The one we are working on, the IG-BS strain, will stay in the air and water for up to 10 days."

(Henry) (Still walking with her on his back) "So, where to now?"

Although she was not in the mood for it, she said, "Let's go to your room."

(Henry) "I'm actually enjoying just walking around out here, would you mind if I show you around a while longer?"

"Sure, I'm enjoying our walk too." She was, she was learning some interesting information.

(Henry) "I'm sure you heard the awful news about Firebase Fabus in Hogsweat."

(Henry) "We sent 2 parachute divisions, 36,000 soldiers, to establish a base in the jungles of Hogsweat, they built over 300 strongpoints and 2 airstrips. Over 500,000 guerillas surrounded them, we had no idea at the time, but the guerillas had over 1,000 pieces of AAA, artillery, and SAMs, our forces only had 150 howitzers and about 800 medium mortars. The siege went on for about 7 weeks. Around the 4th day, we sent 18,000 reinforcements into the base. Only 12,000 made it in, then after 7 weeks, the base fell. 34,000 men were captured, but only 29,000 are still counted as alive, they massacred many of the men."

(Zeltzin) "Yes, I did. It was terrible new. How did the troops take it?:

(Henry) "The army is up in arms, literally, so the Republican Guard, the White Knights paramilitary units, and the Popular Army, are all stationing troops to keep watch at Army bases to make sure the Regular army doesn't try anything funny. It'll blow over in a few weeks though, this civil war in Libya will get the army to rally behind us again, and they’ll be looking to regain their pride. The army is itching for a war."

(Henry) "We lost over 3,000 planes over the base, our best fighter pilot Colonel Herman von Thaller, was captured. He has over 600 kills to his credit."

She looked down. It was sad to see so many young people die from imperialistic wants. She said, "Wow, the entire situation sounds sad."

(Henry) "The worst thing is, do you know what the worst part is?"

(Henry) "I don't even know why the soldiers were sent there to begin with, it wasn't our civil war, and we really shouldn't have been there, what a waste, a damn awful waste of damn fine soldiers."

(Henry) "Over 25,000 paratroopers from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd parachute divisions are confirmed dead, as are over 3,000 servicemen from the air force."

(Henry) "They killed over 250,000 guerillas, but that doesn't matter, it doesn't bring them back. Tell that to the mothers of the dead soldiers, "Well your son died, but he took 10 enemies with him", high body counts don't guarantee victory."

(Henry) "I was horribly depressed when I heard Libya voted yes for secession, it'll mean more killing and destruction. Civil wars are the worst wars; fathers against sons, brothers against brothers, etc."

This was the interesting part of it all. Even Zeltzin felt bad for their loss. "Do you think the situation will truly be resolved?”

(Henry) "Do you mean will we get our POWs back?"

(Henry) "Or do you mean in Libya?"

(Zeltzin) "No, that's not what I mean. I mean in Libya. Do you believe the military will be able to hand a crushing blow to the resisters in Libya?"

(Henry) "Well the 3rd fleet lost over 15 ships today and the army has lost over 3 divisions in just a few days, mostly in cities that are secession strongholds, and mostly because they were surrounded in their bases and the unit commanders refused to breakout. I think the war could go on for a few years, easily. There are 12 million White Knights of Mississippi in Libya, God forbid those of them in the paramilitary units should side against us, that'll be about 2 million, and then there are 2 million Christian Martyrs Brigade in Libya."

(Henry) "We could be looking at having to fight possibly 5 million well trained and well armed rebels in Libya. And they have real military training, many are trained in guerilla warfare and such."

(Henry) "I hear your nation has a civil war problem."

(Zeltzin) "Well, we don't necessarily have a civil war. What there is a General who is wanting to overthrow the government and he is threatening to throw a coup if he doesn't win the upcoming elections."

(Henry) "Don't worry, we're going to help your side."

(Henry) "You support, what's his name.... General Azhultan, don't you?"

Now she knew how involved CM was in this. "Yes, I support General Azhultan." Damn, she was hoping this wouldn't go any further.

(Henry) "That's great, we're backing him all the way, after he wins, and I’ll tell him to give you a good position in the new government."

(Zeltzin) "Ahh, that's sweet of you, Henry." It was day one and she already had enough information to ruin their plans. 'Only if I don't get caught’ she thought.
(Henry) "We're in the process of having 250,000 highly trained, motivated, and well armed volunteers get into ANL to back the general up. If they get into trouble, we just might have to use our air force and navy to bail them out, if that isn't enough, we can parachute and helicopter over 500,000 soldiers from the regular army, into ANL in about 3 hours time."

She then said "Whoa, that would mean a war, then."

(Henry) "Well if the general is going to win, lets think of it this way, if he is attacking from inside, and we attack from outside, ANL's communist government cannot stand. A house divided against itself cannot stand."

(Henry) "But it's unlikely anything more than sending volunteers will occur, we're not eager for a war with ANL, well I'm not, and I have a great deal of say in the decision-making process."

Zeltzin said, "I'm glad you're a part of the decision process."

Zeltzin then had to ask the question "Considering I live there, if it had to come to it, would you use WMDs on our soil?"

(Henry) "Oh, that's a very tough question, I wouldn't approve it, but again, our army captains are allowed to take the matter of tactical chemical strikes against military targets only, into their own hands. Any attacks against non-military targets require high authorization. In Hogsweat some of the commanders got very mad at the situation, and they used gas to kill over 200,000 civilians in Beting, don't tell anybody about that though, most people think the government forces did it. We were backing the government, but they didn't do it, we did. We also used gas to kill over 50,000 of the enemy guerillas surrounding the Firebase Fabus. But I wouldn't agree to using any WMDs in ANL."

She was relieved partially at that comment.

(Henry) "I'll be the first to admit, we use chemical weapons so often that we're desensitized to using them, we've never used nuclear weapons, and we've rarely used biological weapons. But we use lots of chemical weapons, we've used them against army units that were threatening to mutiny, we've used them against citizens that were threatening to rebel. We use chemical weapons like they're nothing."

(Henry) "I'm sure if some of the generals had their way, we'd hit Mexico City with ICBMS."

(Henry) "There is Field Marshal Francisco Salazar, his nickname is "Chemical Salazar" because he uses chemical weapons so often."

(Zeltzin) "I remember the first time I was up here you talked to him."
(Henry) "Yes, he is a nice man, but he looks for any reason to use chemical weapons because it sexually arouses him. He has used chemical weapons to crush indian rebellions at least two dozen times."

This stunned her. 'Some one getting sexual pleasure out of using chemical weapons to kill people. Sick.' She thought, hardly the nice guy Henry described.

(Henry) "I tried to tell him the world won’t stand for such rampant use of chemical weapons. His exact words were, "I will kill them all with chemical weapons! Who is going to say anything? The international community? Fuck them! The international community, and those who listen to them!" He does somewhat scare me, but you should see him with his children, he is such a great father. And he stays married to his wife just for the sake of the children, she is a slut and she throws things at him too, he never touches her though because he doesn't think it's right to hit a woman, no matter why. She once hit him with a bottle, he did nothing."

Zeltzin felt worried, terrible and sick. She hated CM even more then before. But, being friendly, she said, "Sounds like a good family man, at least."

(Henry) "Yes, he is a high officer in the Premier's inner circle, the premier values his opinion greatly. The top men are Wilhelm Ernst, Reginald Smith, Bertrand Navarre, Joseph Mladic, Francisco Salazar, Baldur von Schacht, Alfred Speer, Paul Stahlecker, Vladimir Markovic, Fritz Ernst, Radomir Stevanovic, and Arthur Frick. They are basically divided into two factions, the "Navarre Faction" and the "Smith Faction", both groups hate each other and often bicker over minor issues."

(Henry) "The Navarre Faction was against attacking the Indians, we allow them to peacefully live on 5 different large reservations here in Mississippi. The Smith Faction on the other hand, they lobbied hard for attacking the Indians. The Navarre faction won the argument."

(Henry) "The Premier gave his word to the indians they would be safe on their reservations, and he didn't intend to break his word, so he agreed with the Navarre faction, and the indians are doing quite well today. Except for a few minor skirmishes, but nothing major. The Premier is a man of his word."

"Well, that's good." Zeltzin said. How much she wanted to get back home.

(Henry) "If father is able to, he'd like to see you later, probably work out a non-aggression pact between CM and ANL."

(Zeltzin) "Well, I would definitely look forward to that.”

(Henry) "Wow, I didn't realize we walked this far. Look, we're at the pond." (He motions at a large pond about 1/2 mile wide)

(Henry) "We've walked over a mile. We should head back now, perhaps what you said earlier, about going to the room, does that sound okay to you?"

She jumped down off his back to look at it, it was a beautiful pond. Zeltzin thought it to be so funny, a nation of ugly policy and ugly realities is softened by things of great beauty. She looked at it and said "Can I just look at the pond for a moment? I'll be ready to head back in a minute."

(Henry) "Of course, take all the time you want, if you want, you can go swimming in it, I'm sure nobody would mind."

She looked into the sun reflecting in the pond. It was a great sight. She knew what ever she did was in defense of the Union. It was important what ever she does. She must not fail. She then turned to Henry and said "Alright, let's head back."

(Henry) (Tapping his back) "Here, hop back up, I'll carry you back if you want."

She said, "No, you don't have to carry me. I'll walk this time, unless you insist."

(Henry) "I enjoy it, come on, hop up."

She said "Alright" in a friendly tone. She then jumped back on to his back and waited for Henry to start going to his room.

Henry walked off down the path back towards the mansion, the clouds overhead were definitely storm clouds, symbolic of the growing storm that had been Libya. And like Libya, these clouds burst open and began to spill a torrent of rain down to the Earth.

Still supporting her on his back, and holding her up with 1 hand, he used his other hand to reach into a waist pouch that he always kept with him; in it he had a pistol, an umbrella, and a few other items. He took out the umbrella and opened it up and held it with his free hand over the both of them.

<Zeltzin> "Although it seems like you don't need help, I can hold the umbrella, if you wish."

(Henry) "Okay, that'd be good." (He hands it to her)

(Henry) "Do you mind if I smoke?"

Although she was repulsed by smoking, she said "Ahh, go ahead."

(Henry) "You sound a little reluctant, so I'll just wait."

They kept walking back towards the mansion, the animals were running for cover from the rain, a large squirrel rain out on the path in front of them, Henry smiled at him and said, "Ah, run along now Mr. Squirrel, it's raining out." In some ways, he was still a child.

Zeltzin laughed playfully at Henry's remarks and says "I love it when people are children at heart."

There was a family of ducks waddling along, quacking as they walked along, Henry said, "Ah look, little ducklings, they're so cute."

The ducks waddled along to the other side of the garden and started to head for under a tree.

There were also some does and fawns out eating the grass.

A groundskeeper came running out and chased the deer away when they started to eat the flowers.

He was running after them waving his fist in the air, when he slipped on wet grass and split his pants.

Henry just yelled, "Charlie, you need a better pair of pants!"

Charlie said, "Well then pay me enough to afford a better pair."

Henry said, "We pay you enough already."

Charlie replied, "Yeah but I'm cheap and don't like to spend much money."

Henry chuckled, "Fine, then you'll get a raise, miser."

Henry kept walking back towards the mansion and after about 15 minutes more of walking, they arrived back.

(Henry) (Opening one of the rear doors to the mansion and walking inside) "Here we are."

Zeltzin said "Ahhh, this looks familiar. Are you really going to give that guy a raise?"

(Henry) "Sure why not."

Zeltzin said "I meant nothing by it, I was just curious. He does a good job on the gardens."

(Henry) "He's been the groundskeeper of the rear garden for over 20 years, I've known him all my life. He's the best gardener ever, we pay him about 500,000 dollar a year because he has a wife and 6 children, but outside of buying things for them, he's stingy on himself, so he has the same pants he's had for 10 years still."

Zeltzin said, "That's nice."

(Henry) "The civil war left him homeless, so father agreed to let him live in a guest house on the estate. Well shall we go now, you remember where the room is right?"

(Zeltzin) "Yes, I remember where the room is. Let's go up.”

As he is carrying her up the stairs, she looks into an open door on the 2nd floor and hears equipment is on, she wonders what it is.

Zeltzin looks into the room, trying to see what is in there, it has captured her attention.

There is a doctor sitting in a chair and a guard next to him, there is a vital signs monitoring system setup in the corner, she guesses the premier is in the room, probably in bed.

She hears somebody scream out in a delirium, "RPG! Incoming! Take the right flank!"

Zeltzin then turned to Henry and said, "What's going on?"

(Henry) "Father is just a little confused right now."

<Zeltzin> "Oh."

(Henry) "He used to be a paratrooper, from 1980-1984, he still makes combat jumps today. Remember that operation into Unified West Africa when the mines were seized? Father took part in it, he wore a captain's uniform so no enemy would recognize him as the premier."

(Henry) "He believes a true leader commands from the front so to inspire the men on to greater feats of courage."

<Zeltzin> "I agree with him on that."

(Henry) "Do you mind if I stop in a minute and check on him, you can come in as well, but it won't be a pleasant sight."

<Zeltzin> "Oh, no. I don't mind. Could I come in? I think I should get down, first, though.”

He set her down and softly said "This way."

Zeltzin followed Henry into the room and saw first hand what zombies could do---It was terrible.

The premier, a 43 year old man, classed as one of the handsomest in CM, was a wreck, he looked to be about 83, his face was torn up and bruised, his neck was lacerated, his arms and chest were all bandaged up. He struggled to speak; he coughed up mucus and blood in a stream of his saliva as he spoke, "Hen... Henry, is, is that, you?"

(Premier) (Choking on his own saliva until he spits it up) "Who... who, is, (Coughed up mucus), who is the lovely lady with you?"

Zeltzin stepped up and said, "My name is Zeltzin, and I am a visitor from the ANL."

(Premier) (Struggles to put his hand out to shake her hand, his hand is largely bandaged up, but she can see stitches) "How, how (Choking on his words) how do you do?"

She shakes his hand, it was pathetically weak, he barely shook back, his hand was limp.

Zeltzin said "I am fine, Premier. It is an honor to meet you. You performed well, leading your troops into combat."

(Premier) (Looking tired and ill, as though a dying man looks when he knows the end is near. Occ- The premier will live though) "You're not one of my generals, you don't have to lie, Hogsweat, was a fuck up, a disaster. Firebase Fabus fell. I wonder if I should have led the defense in person, but if I died too in addition to such a loss, the people would be thoroughly demoralized."

Although the comment was with the best intentions, she knew the Premier was right. She thought it would be best to not continue on the conversation. She looked up to Henry and then back to the Premier."

The Premier spoke again, "So what are you two kids up to?"

His doctor walked over to the Premier and helped sit him up in bed, then he propped his head up with pillows, he placed a pipe filled with opium in his mouth and lit it. The Premier started to inhale deeply on the opium, he said, "Henry, why don't you go outside for a cigar and let me talk to your friend for a moment." The opium soothed his pain and allowed him to speak without hacking and choking every several seconds. Henry left the room and went walking down the hall to the smoking room for a cigar.

(Premier) "So, you're here with my son Henry are you?"

Zeltzin turned to the Premier and said, "Yes, I am friends with your son and I came to visit him."

(Premier) "Are you and him an item?"


The Premier had a look of pleasure and euphoria rush over his face as the opium started to take greater effect.

<Zeltzin> "At this moment, I wouldn't say we are an item. But both me and Henry are close to each other."

(Premier) "I mean to ask is, are you sleeping with my boy?"

(Premier) (Inhaling more opium) "Cause it's fine if you are, I just want to know."

<Zeltzin> "Well, if you want to know the truth, yes, I have slept with Henry."

(Premier) "Well, the boy is almost 21 and he isn't married, that just isn't normal. If you and him wind up closer, you'd have my blessing to go off and get married. He should've been married 3-4 years ago and he should be on his 2nd or 3rd son by now. That boy just isn't normal, neither is George come to think of it."

(Premier) "Henry is a good kid, well he's a man now, I still think of him as my little guy though. Kids are great, I'm glad I have lots of um." He starts to fall asleep from the opium, the doctor takes the pipe out of his mouth and covers him up, he suggests to Zeltzin, "You should go now, he needs his rest."

Zeltzin came to a terrible thought... What if she had to marry Henry? Although he was ok, it's his government and the crimes they commit. She left the Premier's room and went back to the staircase, waiting for Henry.

Henry came out of the smoking room and walked up to her, he smelled like cigar smoke, he said, "Shall we go then? What did father want to talk to you about, was it diplomatic issues?"

Zeltzin said "Oh, no. Nothing diplomatic. He was just asking me about myself. Just conversation."

(Henry) "Okay. Well shall we go then?"

<Zeltzin> "Sure."

They walk up to Henry's floor and then into his bedroom.

He started to talk, "So, did father have anything particularly interesting to say?"

<Zeltzin> "He just said you were a good kid and a fine young man. He also said he was glad to meet me."

(Henry) "That's nice, I figured he'd like you. So now what, do you want a drink?"

<Zeltzin> "How about some wine? What did the doctor say to you?"

(Henry) "The doctor, about what?"

(Henry) "I didn't speak to the doctor."

<Zeltzin> "What wine do you suggest?"

(Henry) "I have just the bottle." (He goes over to a small fridge in his room and opens it up, inside is a bottle of 1912 wine from Italy) "The year they took Libya, now we have Libya, well we shall soon have it under full control again." He uses a corkscrew to take the cork out, he pours to glasses, hands one to her. "To Libya, may she peacefully return to Mississippi, her mother country."

Henry drinks his glass down relatively quickly and then says, "Well, now what?"

Zeltzin looks into her wine glass for a bit. She then says, "You're a really good selector of wine. It's amazing you had this bottle."

(Henry) "Thank you. Well we get lots of rare wine, we can afford basicaly any amount of anything we want here. Father is very wealthy."

<Zeltzin> "Obviously. I'm just curious, how did your father build his wealth?"

(Henry) "This is strictly a secret this part, for the past 20 years, he's taken 1% of all national taxes and pocketed it basically. Also he has income from 80 estates he owns, and he owns about 15 companies by my last count. Fabus Munitions Inc sold over 40 billion firearms in the past 20 years. Also Fabus Premium Tobacco, Fabus Airlines, Fabus Motor Corporation, etc. He's banked most of the skim he takes from the taxes, he uses the interest it earns to better the life of the people. Also he saves enough money to pay for the armed forces budget out of his pocket for 2 years. If he had to pay for just the Republican Guard budget, he could do that for probably 10 years."

Zeltzin looked at Henry, again stunned. From illegal dipping into tax revenue to legitimate industry, the Fabus family had become one of the most richest and powerful in the world. It came to her as no surprise now, the extravagant wine, the personal jets, even Stalingrad itself. "He seems to be a maverick with money."

(Henry) "He has over 10 trillion dollars."

(Henry) "He is the richest man in all of Mississippi, indeed the entire Mississippian empire."

(Henry) "I believe the second richest man is Field Marshal Reginald Smith, followed by Dr Baldur Schacht and then perhaps Field Marshal Bertrand Navarre."

<Zeltzin> "And the people don't have a problem with the rich being on top?"

(Henry) "Not really, it doesn't matter either way. Father has a personal guard of almost 2 million men, the Republican Guard."

(Henry) "The people don't mind that the wealthy 1% of the nation basically runs the show."

(Henry) "The nation is divided into 3% being upper class, 37% being middle class, and 60% being lower class."

Zeltzin had another interesting point to give back to the AIA, the true power behind CM.

<Zeltzin> "Your family is quite the powerful family. Is there anything you want to do or no?"

(Henry) "What do you want to do?"

Zeltzin looked outside and said "Nothing in particular. I'm enjoying myself."

(Henry) "Did you know father is to be crowned Tsar shortly, in a few months, after he is recovered and he looks normal again."

<Zeltzin> "Tsar, that will solidify his control of the nation."

(Henry) "Father is actually the son of the prince that was heir to the throne before the capitalist government came to power, the government father eventually toppled. But father didn't know it because he was an illegitimate child, but the church is working on a creative way to make him legitimate."

(Henry) "You see father's mother was a maid at the estate of the prince, since she stayed there for many months in a row, they lived together in the same dwelling, even though they only slept together a few dozens times, and they weren't in a real relationship, well I don't think were. Well the church says since they were in the same dwelling together for 100 days, it is a marriage under common law and thus the premier is legitimate."

<Zeltzin> "I see no problem with it."

(Henry) "Well if father becomes a Tsar, that makes me a prince. But my brother George is older than me, and then there are my two younger brothers Roger and William. And father has already named Roger as the heir to the throne. He favors Roger over us all."

<Zeltzin> "That sucks. Hopefully your brother Roger will give you a higher rank when he is in charge. I don't mean to pry, but why does he favor Roger?:

(Henry) "He says George and I are both disgraces."

<Zelztin> "Ahh, well, you're a good person. A very good person. I see nothing wrong with you."

(Henry) "Father says my recent use of narcotics to kill my back pain is unacceptable, he says George's desire to marry a cousin is an abomination. The girl is his 3rd cousin."

(Henry) "Roger has been involved in the thick of combat dozens of times, he's only 19 but father says he's killed more Indians than I've wasted days doing nothing but paperwork. He claims all I do is paperwork. I do intelligence work mostly."

<Zeltzin> "He just doesn't understand. The work you do is important for CM."

(Henry) "Well I guess so, but if you're not in the thick of combat slaying enemies, it isn't as important in most people's eyes."

<Zeltzin> "Well, without good intelligence, how can a military operate well?"

(Henry) "I agree with what you're saying. But Roger is in the Republican Guard Horse Cavalry, a very prestigious unit."

(Henry) "He's personally led sword charges when the units run out of ammunition, he's won many battles."

<Zeltzin> "He does sound like a brave solider...a good soldier."

(Henry) "He was taken prisoner by Syrians and they threatened to kill him, but commandos raided the house he was being held in and got him back. One battle he was in on the central indian reservation here, there were about 2,500 cavalrymen with him, they were expecting 4,000 indian warriors, and they expected them to scatter, there were 50,000 indian warriors, and they held firm and surrounded his unit. Had it not been for Francisco Salazar who ordered nearby artillery units to use chemical weapons, the battle would have most certainly been lost."

Zeltzin yawned and stretched back. "I'm tired now. It's been an interesting day."

(Henry) "So, you're tired eh? Want to get some rest?"

<Zeltzin> "Yeah, today has wiped me out."

(Henry) "So you don't want to... you know. You just want to go to sleep?"

<Zeltzin> "Well, I can go for a while."

(Henry) "If you're too tired that's okay, but if you want to, I'm game."

<Zeltzin> "Tell you what, how about we do it tomorrow. I'll be better tomorrow, anyways."

(Henry) (Smiling) "Okay, sounds fine. I'm tired too. Well I'm going to sleep then." (There are two beds in the room; he lays down on the one near the window)

Zeltzin slips into her bed clothing and then gets into bed. "Goodnight, I've had a good day with you."

(Henry) (Takes off all his clothing once he is under the covers, he tosses it aside on the floor, he sleeps nude) "Likewise. Good night, sleep well."

She hears him praying, his is praying for peace in Libya, peace to endure between CM and the nations of the world, for his father to get better, and for the POWs in Hogsweat to be released.

Zeltzin took some peace in this; she felt he was the best bet for the ANL.

Occ- CM Rped Henry and narrator. ANL Rped Zeltzin.

In the morning she awoke around 7:30 a.m. Henry was still asleep.

She wondered what to do since he was still sleeping.

She looked at him; he was 6 feet 3 inches, quite large, but not as large as his brother Roger who was 6 feet 6 inches and the tallest of the Fabus family.

She looked up at the ceiling, thinking of what the new day would bring,

About 20 minutes later, Henry awoke with a large "Yawn" and a stretch of his arms. He looked over and saw she was awake, "Sleep well?" he asked.

Zeltzin looked over and said, "Yes, I slept well. And you?"

(Henry) "Okay I guess, just worried about Libya."

(Henry) "I had a dream, the war in Libya was over, but the country was in ruins and over 10 million were slain."

<Zeltzin> "That sounds terrible."

(Henry) "Don't worry, it won't happen, the only thing that could do that much damage as I saw in my dream would be nuclear weapons, neither side would be foolish enough to use them. Libyan colonial forces have about 400 nuclear bombs and maybe 30 missiles.”

(Henry) (Tapping his bed) "Come on over here."

She gets out of her bed and slips into Henry's bed. She knew what was going to happen.

(Henry) "You take the top, okay?"

She got on top of him and straddled him.

<Zeltzin> "Alright."

About 30 minutes later they were done, Zeltzin was lying next to Henry, Henry said, "Well, that was great, you like it?"

Zeltzin looked over and said "Yeah, that was very good."

(Henry) "Mississippi is boring me, you want to hop a Concorde and go to Angola or Mississippian Egypt? Maybe Kentucky or Ohio?"

(Henry) "Well, you got any preference for going somewhere?"

<Zeltzin> "How about Angola?"

(Henry) "Good choice, you'll like it there. You should see what we've done with the place, over 5,000 miles of paved roads, hundreds of miles of canals, many lakes, the irrigation system, not as great as Libya, but Angola has lots of water already."

(Henry) "We have 20 million colonists in Angola."

<Zeltzin> "It sounds nice."

Henry leaned over, kissed her, and then said, "It is nice, and I’m sure that you’ll like it."

(Henry) "Shall we go get ready then, it's a short flight via the Concorde, only a few hours at the most five or six."

Zeltzin smiled and said, "We're going to have a great time."

(Henry) "We'll be in Luanda just in time for a late lunch."

They get ready and about 45 minutes later are on a Concorde on the Stalingrad runway readying to take off for Angola. The plane gets airborne, it is going incredibly fast.

(Henry) "Is there anything you want to talk about?"

<Zeltzin> "I know the Klan is involved in many industries. Are they also involved with the government or no?"

(Henry) "I'll be honest with you, the government and the klan are basically the same thing."

(Henry) "Father is the 'Emperor', or the spiritual leader of the klan, Field Marshal Bertrand Navarre is the 'Imperial Wizard', the overall leader."

Too Zeltzin, it made perfect sense now. It confirmed what she long suspected. "I was just curious."

She was curious if Henry was in it. She wondered if she should ask.

<Zeltzin> "Henry, since you are the Premier's son, are you in the Klan. If you are, it's alright."

(Henry) "Yes I am."

(Henry) "When father says do something, you do it and don't question him. My joining wasn't a matter open for discussion. Roger joined the first chance he got, as did George. William isn't a member yet."

(Henry) "William is still under 18, and as such as in the youth Klan."

<Zeltzin> "At least you're complying with your father's wishes."

(Henry) "Well when he says something is to be done, he is serious."

(Henry) "You know how many klansmen there are in the Mississippian Empire?"

<Zeltzin> "No."

(Henry) "12 million from the white colonists in Libya, about 8 million from the white colonists in Egypt. About 5 million from the white colonists in Angola. About 120 million in Mississippi, and about 20 million in our other various possessions."

Zeltzin was counting in her head--over 165 million Klansmen-10% of their population. "That's a lot of Klansmen."

(Henry) "There are 20 million of the klansmen formed into paramilitary units, they're trained by the special forces and army units in guerilla warfare, if the army ever is smashed and the nation occupied, they'll resist the occupiers. They have literally hundreds of millions of weapons cached throughout the nations we have."

Again, this makes sense to her how the Klan had military weapons and vehicles.

(Zeltzin) "Does the Klan have a higher rank than the regular military?"

(Henry) "Not technically, but when a klansmen tells a soldier something, the soldiers listen, if not out of respect then out of possible fear of making enemies."

<Zeltzin> "Oh, ok."

(Henry) "Now the Republican Guard, they are totally out of the command of the army, and army high command, the RG answers to the Premier alone."

She wonders if she should ask him outright if CM will be at war with ANL.

(Zeltzin) "Henry...I really want to know, with your opinion being an informed and valid one, do you think CM will have conflicts and possibly a war with the ANL?"

(Henry) "Remember those two factions I told you about. The Navarre Faction and the Smith Faction?"

<Zeltzin> "Yes, I remember."

(Henry) "The Smith Faction will lobby for war against anybody, they are war mongers. The Navarre Faction will only agree for war if it serves to protect our national security. The Navarre Faction is lobbying against involvement in the ANL conflict. I am giving them my support. Right now I'd say the Navarre Faction will win the argument with the Premier."

(Henry) "There will be no war."

Zeltzin was relieved to hear that. That was the news she was hoping for. Immediatly, she gave him a hug.

(Henry) "My, you sure are happy today." (He hugged her back)

(Henry) "If there was going to be war, CM would first establish a massively large embassy in your capital. That is a standard CM tactic, we've never actually used it before, but the idea is to start a large embassy, and secretly pack it with a few thousand soldiers, SAMS, and a few dozen tanks. Then at the right moment, to pour out into the capital and cripple the government. It's a very dirty tactic, the idea drawn up by our intelligence services. We've never tested it though, Thank God. Embassies are honorably places, not Trojan horses."

<Zeltzin> "Well, Henry, I'm glad to hear you say that."

(Henry) "If I'm ever leader, the first thing I'm doing is getting rid of most of the secret police."

(Henry) "We have 1/2 dozen or so secret police groups. Army Secret Police, Domestic Police Services, National Intelligence Services, Department Of Internal Security Police Services, Department Of Internal Security Domestic Intelligence Branch, and the People's National Security Police."

<Zeltzin> "With all those secret organizations, it would be easy for things to get tangled up."

(Henry) "They are always stepping on each others toes and are competing for resources and influence. Rivalries run high."

(Henry) "We spend over 3 trillion per year on the police and intelligence operatives that aren't under armed forces command. We spend about 5.8 trillion per year on the armed forces and armed forces intelligence."

(Henry) "Our total budget for all things is about 23 trillion per year."

Zeltzin began to feel more comfortable with Henry. He was more reasonable then the mainstream political ideology of CM. "That is a lot of money. Are you running into deficit spending?"

(Henry) "We run a 50 billion deficit right now."

Zeltzin thought, 'Heck, the ANL is running a $17 billion dollar surplus.' The shook her head "Henry, that's phenomenal."

(Henry) "The lowest allocation of funds in our nation is public transportation and social equality, each receive 0 percent of the budget. Government administration gets only 2 percent."

(Henry) "So, you do you have an idea of what Angola will be like, don't you?"

<Zeltzin> "No, I don't. What should I expect?"

(Henry) (Uneasy) "Well do you remember what Birmingham Alabama was like in the 1960s?"

<Zeltzin> "Yes, I do remember, quite turbulent."

(Henry) "Well take that and apply it to an entire country. Angola is a powder keg and the slightest spark could set things off. But I think the lid will stay on for a while."

Zeltzin was surprised by this. Although the AIA knew Angola was unstable, Henry describing it as a power keg?

(Henry) "If they keep going at the rate they're going at, we'll have a full scale guerilla war on our hands in a few months. If they do nothing, we'll have a war in a few months."

The plane eventually lands in Luanda.

(Henry) "We're here."

Zeltzin gets up and prepares to leave the plane with Henry.

They get off the plane. Walking into the airport they see large numbers of white colonial police in body armor with rifles. There are signs "White ticket line" "Negro ticket line", one of the natives who obviously didn't understand English walked into the white line, a cop cracked him in the face with the butt of his rifle, another officer yelled at him in Portuguese to get into the right line.

They walked outside the airport to a waiting car. There were white colonial police everywhere, at least 2,000 at the airport alone, and probably 500 more right outside the airport, there were half a dozen T-98 tanks parked outside the airport also.

The soldiers were attempting to keep the tenuous peace.

There were white colonial army units also, dozens of them, entire squads stationed in front of the main shopping districts of the city. As the car they were in drove to the center of town, she could see everything, there were anti-grenade wires over all the windows, most of the vehicles had some form of improvised anti-mine protection system, and there were large signs posted in various tribal languages, "Black curfew 6:00 p.m."

The car stopped in front of the "Office of Colonial Affairs" building, a large Victorian style building behind a large steel fence and a razor wire fence. It was probably a 400-acre plot of land; there were at least 10,000 colonial police and colonial army units guarding it. There was a mob gathered outside, at least 40,000 black protestors. They were chanting "White man go home!"

The driver of the car Zeltzin and Henry were in said, "I cannot get through the mob, they won't move."

(Henry) "What should we do?"

The mob has swollen to over 200,000 most of them are workers who have walked out of work in the mines and on the farms to join the protest, they are refusing to continue to work so long as they are required to be out of all "White cities" by 6:00 p.m. They are also demanding a repel of the pass law, whereby all non-whites must carry passes at all times and present them when asked to any white authorities.

The 10,000 guards are getting very nervous, the crowd is growing large, and large crowds often turn violent. A BMP-3 rides towards the crowd, their is a Colonial Marine Colonel sticking out of the hatch, he yells into a bullhorn, "Disperse and leave this area immediately! You are unlawfully assembled! I repeat, disperse and leave this area immediately!"

He one of the blacks steps forward from the crowd, a young man, about 18, he throws a molotov cocktail through a air, aimed at the open hatch of the BMP, everybody watches in horror as it sails through the air, as if time is going in slow motion. The colonel falls into the BMP but slipped and couldn't catch the hatch as he went down, the firebomb finds the mark, it passes through the open hatch and lands inside the BMP-3, the ammunition cooks off and the BMP-3 goes up in a ball of flames.

Seconds after the BMP burst into flames, the area erupts into gunfire as the guards unleash a murderous barrage of fire into the crowd.

10,000 rifles and machine guns cut down scores of those assembled.

The crowd suddenly breaks into thousands of pieces, no longer a unified body, now a disorganized mob attempting to flee for their rifles.

The crisp crack of M-14B and FN-FAL rifle fills the air as the guards run after those fleeing and cut them down with accurate rifle.

Zeltzin watched, completely shocked about what happened. She feared that bullets would hit the car and kill her and Henry, while the thousands die out side. What a terrible riot.

The driver threw the car into reverse and floored it out of there and pulled into an alley.

They sat and watched as thousands of blacks ran passed the alley as though a wall of water was behind them, ready to crash down. They watched as white police with rifles raised came surging forward, shooting anything that was moving but wasn't white.

A black man runs forward into the alley but is cut down by a burst of fire from an Fn-fal. He falls onto the hood of car, drenched in blood.

Zeltzin looked and saw the black man. This was terrible. She was on the verge of crying...not in all her years in the AIA prepaired her for this.

A BTR rolls by down the street, followed by a T-98 tank with machine guns blazing.

Outside in the street, a young white police officer, about 19, is changing the magazine on his Fn-Fal, a group of about 20 blacks surge at him, they are armed with clubs. He drops his rifle and attempts to grab his pistol, but they knock him down and club him to death so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him. They pick up his rifle and pistol and move on. He is a mess of blood and tissue and his head so badly smashed in, it is virtually non-existent.

<Zeltzin> "Henry, are you alright?"

(Henry) (Breathing heavily) "I'm okay." (He pulls a 1911 caliber 45 pistol out from a holster and keeps it ready in his hand)

A white shopkeeper is running for the alley, but a black man with an AK-47 rifle shoots him through the neck.

Henry jumps out of the car and fires 3 rounds into the man with the AK-47, the man is blown backwards, dead.

Suddenly all throughout the city they can see parachutes opening, a white parachute brigade from a nearby army base has been called into the city to restore order.

They sit in the car in the alley for about 2 more hours, the firing eventually eases down and then silence. It's over.

(Henry) "That's the first time I ever shot anybody."

<Zeltzin> "You're a good shot. Hopefully, though, you won't have to do it again."

The driver turned the car radio on, "Violence has erupted throughout the black townships and the white cities surrounded by the townships. Thus far violence in Luanda has ended for now at least. Thus far over 12,000 blacks are feared dead and 200 white police officers and 400 white civilians are feared dead.

(Radio) "Fighting continues to rage in Lobito, where over 4,000 blacks organized into what the governor is calling "Guerilla bands" have seized a number of key local government buildings. Most of the white police officers were off for the day for various reasons. The city is currently being retaken by parachute units."

(Radio) "The governor has declared that Angola is in a state of emergency and has mobilized the Colonial Reserves to protect the white cities and to attempt to keep order in the black townships, but the first priority is to protect the white cities and the white farmers in the isolated rural regions. Thus far over 500 white farmers have been assassinated in raids by black bandits. Parachute units have begun jumping into the rural areas to secure white farmers and their families."

(Radio) "The governor has declared unnecessary travel on dirt roads should be avoided due to the high risk of mines. Last month over 800 people were killed by landmines, thus far this month over 120 people have been killed by mines."

(Henry) "I guess we picked a bad time to come to Angola."

<Zeltzin> "Indeed."

(Radio) "Fighting between White Colonial units and Mississippi Imperial Army units continues to rage in Libya, with no end in sight."

(Henry) "So what do you want to do now? Go to the hotel?"

<Zeltzin> "Sure, why not?"

(Henry) (To driver) "Antonio Salazar Hotel please."

The driver pulls out of the alley and into the street. They can see spent shell casings, RPG holes on the sides of buildings, bombed out vehicles, dead bodies, broken glass, it looks like a war zone. The Colonial Office building was hit by a few RPGs.

<Zeltzin> "Dear God!"

A young white boy, about 8 years old, was kneeling besides his father, a white police officer, lying face down in a mud puddle, with the upper 1/2 of his head lying a few feet in front of him, the boy kept shaking his father saying, "Daddy, get up, get up."

There are hundreds of bodies littering the street, most of blacks, some of whites. Most of the dead whites are colonial police officers.

A police officer walks over to the young boy and says to him, "I'm sorry son, but your dad won't be getting up, come on, let's go find your mother."

The driver waits for the police to move along and out of the way of the car, then he drives on.

There are a few dozen white men tossing black bodies into a mass pile in the middle of the road. The pile is about 25 feet high. The bodies are all twisted together and they are readying to dump gasoline over the pile and burn them all.

The car drives on towards the hotel. The scenes of carnage and destruction are evident all throughout the city. Throughout Angola over 50,000 blacks and 1,000 white police officers and colonial reservists died that die. It was essentially the first day of the open shooting war between the colonists and the natives. White colonial units throughout the nation were on full alert, as it was known that the blacks would likely be starting a guerilla war. The most vulnerable would be the rural whites, those far away from the protections afforded by the city garrisons and the police that patrolled near the cities.

The governor knew his parachute units would be the most valuable for the war in the rural reaches of the nation; they would serve as the rapid response force whenever a white farm came under attack. There were 56,000 paratroopers inside Angola, some were from the Mississippi Imperial Army, and most were White Colonial units. Soon though the colonists would create the Angolan Special Air Assault Squads (ASAAS) 1 regiment formed from the best of the paratroopers and marines the nation had to offer. 1,000 of the best warriors Angola could muster, and in the coming war, they would gain enough fame to cover themselves in it a hundred times over.

Angolan Garrison:
CM Armed Forces:
1 Rapid Response Airmobile Division
4 Infantry Divisions
1 Parachute Division
20 Reserve Divisions

Note the white colonists in Angola (20 million colonists) have formed an army to help CM defend Angola.

General Azhultan's boat came back to the docks. The General jumped out onto the dock so he would be able to tie the ropes back to the boat. After he was done with that, he turned off the engine and began to walk towards the parking lot. As he approched the gate, several Red Gaurdsmen and AIA agents approched him...

"Son of a -----." The General's jaw dropped.

An AIA agent walked up to him "Warrior-General Azhultan, evidence has been brought against you that you are consipiring to overthrow the current ANL government. Do you have anything to say?"

The General retorted "I hardly see running in the upcomming elections as illegal. You have no right to arrest me."

The AIA Agent stood up straight "If you were running in the elections, we wouldn't be on your case. However, our technicians have been able to decode your transmissions you sent out."

Azhultan said in defense "What transmissions? I don't even..."

Cutting off the General, the agent gave him a yellow piece of paper. "So tell me, ex-General, who is supporting you. If you tell us your plans and who is supporting you, we might go easier on you."

In a low, hostile voice, the General said in defiance "I'm not telling you anything."

Casually, the agent said "Well, suit yourself."

Three JWIs stepped up and arrested the now ex-General.

---Three hours later---
A small motorcade drove towards the AIA's Detention Center, where Azhultan would be interrorgated and formally charged with acts of treason.

The highway began to go inbetween two sheered away hills. The first vehicle drove at a steady 50 MPH. However, on the road sat a bomb, painted black so the driver wouldn't see it. As soon as the first car drove over it...

BOOM!

The car lifted up into the air and became a fireball. The AIA Agents inside were killed. Behind them, the armored van transporting Azhultan came to a screeching halt, while the lone car behind them tried to stop, but crashed into the rear of the truck. The four Red Gaurdsmen immediatly jumped out of the van with their TZ-37 Assult Rifles while the AIA Agents backed up their smashed car, got out and were loading their 45 Magnums (the standard AIA firearm.)

A shot rung out and one of the AIA agents was struck down. Suddenly, AK-47 fire was comming at them from atop the hills. The Red Gaurdsmen got low to the ground and behind the armor of the van while the AIA agents went inside the cab.

"Radio for backup!" Screamed out one agent.
"This is AIA Agent Yoltzin, we are under heavy attack from gunmen. Requiring back up!"
Static
"Do you copy!?!"
The other agent realized what was going on..."They have the radio jammed, get us out of here."

The Red Gaurdsmen all ran back into the van, bringing in the dead AIA agent. The van sped off onto the road, AK-47 fire pouncing on it's metal skin. One bullet, however, landed itself on a tire, blowing it out.

The van fishtailed back and forth, becoming more and more unstable. Suddenly, the agent driving could not comphensate and control the vehicle and it swayed out of control and fell into a dicth.

Without hesitation, Azhultan, being close to an open door, jumped out of the van and ran like hell towards the motorcade's attackers. The Red Gaurdsmen were jumping out of the van, trying to catch the fleeing Azhultan. But before they could even move, a attacker stood up and threw a molotov cocktail towards the JWIs. Seeing what was comming towards them, they jumped out of the way, barely missing the flames from the molotov cocktail. When one of the Red Gaurdsmen got back up to go back and chase Azhultan, he was gone.

Occ- This should probably get posted here also (it's been posted in the angola war thread, but the main theme isn't angola for the Henry+Zeltzin rping, it's Henry+Zeltzin, the main theme for Angola is Angola. This just happened to fall into both categories, so it gets two posts :)


Henry and Zeltzin arrived at the hotel in Luanda, the best one in the city, the best one in the colony, well it was great except an RPG-7 round blew the ornate marble flower arrangement to the left of the sign to pieces

(Henry) "I guess I misjudged just how turbulent Angola was."

<Zeltzin> "This first hand view is quite telling of the situation."

The car pulled into a parking garage beneath the hotel; Zeltzin could see CM imperial soldiers and Angolan White Colonial units, along with Colonial police, moving around the streets and inside the garage.

The car came to sudden stop, Zeltzin would have flown forward but Henry caught her.

<Zeltzin> "Thank you, Henry."

(Henry) "You're welcome."

The driver said, "Sorry about that, one of those bomb-sniffing dogs ran in front of the car."

There were K-9 units all throughout the garage, just making sure.

Henry got out of the car and held the door for Zeltzin.

Zeltzin got out, and looked around. Above them was one of Angola’s finest hotels, but the police and military presence made the parking garage feel like a barracks.

A bellhop took their bags up and said. "Would you care to follow me sir, ma'am?"

The lobby had statues from the Renaissance and a large fountain in the exact geometric center of the lobby.

The entire lobby was arranged with a large degree of symmetry.

They were taken to the top floor, the best room in the hotel.

<Zeltzin> "This is definitely a nice hotel and a pleasant room."

Henry tipped the bellhop who graciously grabbed up the 1000 bill he was offered.

The bellhop set their bags down and walked out of the room, whistling and happy that he made 1,000 dollars.

Henry stood behind Zeltzin and put his hands gently on her shoulders, "How do you like it here, aside from the basically what must be called civil-war."

<Zeltzin> "Angola looks like a lovely country...One of much appreciation for art and beauty along with good design."

(Henry) "I should show you some video footage of what it looked like before whites took it over again. It used to be a white colony from the late 1500s to 1975 and the Portuguese owned it. It flourished, they were chased out and an almost 30 year long civil war ensued, with rival black groups vying for power. We finally ended that all, but now they dare attempt to rise against us."

He gently started to rub her shoulders with both hands, "But we can get into political discussions later, what say we try out the bed?" He slowly moved her long black hair to over one shoulder and then began to kiss her neck.

Zeltzin tilted her head and allowed Henry to kiss her neck. She had truly beginning to enjoy being with Henry. "Sure, you lead."

About 40 minutes later he was lying in bed next to her.

(Henry) "Wow, you're good."

<Zeltzin> (Chuckling) "Ahhh, thank you. You're pretty good too."

(Henry) "So now what?"

The phone next to the bed rang and Zeltzin was closest to it.

(Henry) "Would you mind getting that please?"

<Zeltzin> "Sure, no problem." (She picks up the phone) "Hello?"

(Wilhelm Ernst) "This is the Director of the Department of Internal Security, calling for Henry Fabus, who is this?"

<Zeltzin> "Oh, I was just cleaning up his hotel room. I'll get him for you." She looks across the bed and says, "Henry, it's for you."

(Henry) "Who is it?"

<Zeltzin> "He said he was the Director of the Department of Internal Security."

(Henry) "Ernst?"

<Zeltzin> "Yes, I do believe it is him."

(Henry) "Okay, thank you." Henry starts to talk into the phone.

(Henry) "45,000 dead? 70 tanks knocked out? Retreating back to Egypt? Oh my, thank you for telling me."

Henry hangs the phone up.

Zeltzin listened to Henry's comments...."What's going on?"

(Henry) "The Army of the Nile, the Imperial army units going into Libya to crush the white secessionists near Tobruk, they outnumbered the rebels by 4 to 1, but were ambushed. Heavy losses."

(Henry) "I think the war will end shortly though, foreigners are lobbying to kick the whites out of Libya, they'll realize they need our protection, they'll come around. Say, why did you tell him you were cleaning my room?"

<Zeltzin> "Ahh, so he doesn't think that we were doing anything."

(Henry) "Well it doesn't matter what he thinks does it?"

<Zeltzin> "True, you make a good point."

(Henry) "All that matters is what you think of me and I of you."

<Zeltzin> "That's right."

(Henry) (Yawning, stretches, reaches his arm behind her and pulls her closer to him) "So, what do you think of me?"

<Zeltzin> "I think you are a very good person. You are very kind and understanding and likeable. Plus, you're friendly and generous."

<Zeltzin> "Well, Henry, what do you think of me?"

(Henry) "Well, to be honest. I love you Zeltzin, you're the one person I feel I can be honest and open with, and you're so kind and understanding."

<Zeltzin> "That really means a lot."

(Henry) "I'm glad."

(Henry) (Since he pulled her close to him, she is resting her head on his chest. He runs his fingers through her hair) "So Zeltzin, now what, is there anything you'd like to talk about, or ask me?”

Zeltzin was quiet. She too had been getting closer to Henry. She really was starting to like him. But, this was no more then an assignment. However, she couldn't deny, her relationship with Henry wasn't just a cover anymore.

<Zeltzin> "That really puts me in a hard place. I mean I love my country, even if I don't like the government. Also, I know my family would stay in the ANL. However, there are advantages to living in Mississippi, namely, being with you. I’ll have to think about it."

(Henry) "I can move to ANL then."

She almost laughed at the thought of him voluntarily placing himself in a communist nation, she knew him better than that. But she detected in his voice he was serious.

<Zeltzin> "Henry, if you moved to the ANL, that would be great, and I would support you all the way. But are you sure you would really want to do that?"

(Henry) "To be with you, yes."

At those words, Zeltzin was stunned. "If you really want to, it will be done, and I will be more then willing to live with you. But Henry, you hold authority in your government now."

(Henry) "I can still do paperwork from outside the nation."

(Henry) "Besides father doesn't want me around, he'd never even notice I was gone except when he went to yell at me."

Zeltzin turned her head around and looked directly into his eyes "Henry, alright, you can move in with me."

He kissed her deeply and passionately for a good 30 seconds, then he said, "You've made me so very happy."

Suddenly the phone next to the bed rang again, the ringing was most unwelcome at the time, neither of them wanted to answer it, but they both knew it was a given it was important and it was for Henry.

Zeltzin answered the phone, it was Wilhelm Ernst again, "Hello, who is this? Are you cleaning his room again?"

(Ernst) "I have to talk to Henry, it's very important."

Zeltzin handed Henry the phone, worried by the tone of Ernst's voice.

<Zeltzin> "It's Ernst again."

Henry takes the phone and thanks her for handing it to him. He starts to listen to Ernst, almost immediately he is shocked and upset

(Henry) "What? When? Is he okay? Is the doctor there? What's Mladic say about this? What, him to? Car accident? When? Is he okay? I'll be on the first flight."

He solemnly handed the phone back to Zeltzin.

Zeltzin put it back on the hook and said "Henry, what happened?"

(Henry) "Father nearly died, he practically choked on his own saliva, and acting Premier Joseph Mladic was in a car accident, he is seriously injured. I've been named acting Premier, my brother Roger is off playing soldier, and George is nowhere to be found, he's probably off chasing his lover. William is just 17, he could not be acting premier, so it is I they have chosen."

Zeltzin was taken aback. She then said, "Well, I will then live with you. I can ask the Premier of the ANL if I can be the ANL's Ambassador to Mississippi."

(Henry) "We need to get back to Mississippi soon, within probably 24 hours, I am sorry we'll have to cut our trip here short. You understand yes?"

<Zeltzin> "Yes, I understand completely."

(Henry) "Thank you."

(Henry) "When do you think we should be going?"

<Zeltzin> "Within a couple of hours, but again, I need to ask you one thing. Could the ANL have a embassy in Mississippi? If so, I could work there and move to Mississippi for at least several months.

(Henry) "Yes, of course, you may have an embassy."

<Zeltzin> "Good, in a couple of days, I need to make a quick trip to the ANL and petition them to build an embassy. I would return in a day or so."

(Henry) "Okay, good. When I get some free time after this all settles down, I'd like to come to ANL and meet your family, is that okay?”

<Zeltzin> "Yes, that would be wonderful. If you wanted to, I could get you to meet some government officials, too."

(Henry) "That might be nice. But I'm particularly interested in meeting your father." Zeltzin had an idea what that meant, in CM, whenever a man was interested in courting a woman with the goal being marriage, he sought approval from the woman's father, and they usually worked out what was basically a business deal. A certain amount of land or money would be given for the approval.

<Zeltzin> "Of course. I'm sure my father would be delighted to see you."

Zeltzin, although not looking forward to the "business deal" part of it, would like for her father to meet Henry. Her father thought she should have gotten married a lot earlier, but no one suited her. This was going to be interesting.

Henry started to groan in pain and clutch his lower back and his left shoulder; she remembered he had been wounded a few weeks ago, quite severely.

<Zeltzin> "Henry, do you need anything?"

(Henry) "It's my left shoulder and the central and lower back, really hurts. Nothing I can do for it without taking pain killers, and I don't want any of that stuff, it's no good, I have to stop relying on it."

<Zeltzin> "I'm glad you want to stop. Although it helps you with your pain, I don't think it's good for you."

(Henry) "Maybe you could rub my lower back for me, if you want to that is."

<Zeltzin> "Sure, I'll do it."

She starts to slowly massage his back. He says, "Thanks, right there, yup", she continues to rub his back for about 10 minutes before the silence of the night outside is broken by tenacious gunfire all around outside. Mortar rounds begin to impact all throughout the city, and even a few dozen conventional SCUDS crash throughout the city.

He rolls out of bed and grabs her as he does so, shielding her as the wall collapses from a mortar round.

He keeps over her for about 2 minutes until helicopters sound overhead and begin firing rockets to suppress the enemy sappers who managed to sneak into key points throughout the city. White units of police combined with colonial army and imperial army painstakingly began to retake the few buildings the guerilla teams captured. Soldiers advance behind the cover of BMP-3s

<Zeltzin> "Henry?" (Cough) "Henry, are you ok?"

(Henry) (Waving his arm in the air to move the dust away) "I'm fine, you okay?"

<Zeltzin> "I'm okay, just shaken up a bit,"

(Henry) "Let's get the heck out of here, now, what do you say?"

<Zeltzin> "I agree."

They get into the car and driver heads for the airport; on the way there they see squads of heavily armed soldiers and police in full body armor marching out behind BMPs and BTRs. They fired into windows of high-rise buildings. Large parts of the city are burning from the mortar and scud attacks. There are fire crews out to put the blazes down, but the soon to arrive rain will help greatly. She sees soldiers fire a MILAN into the lobby of the building where a team of enemy sappers had taken up position, and then the lobby is rushed by 24 police officers.

(Henry) "This colony is hardly as safe as I thought. Sorry for bringing you here."

<Zeltzin> "Henry, don’t worry about it. At least we are still alive. You've been named Premier at a bad time. I know you can help the situation here, though. Now you know there is a problem, you can now change it."

(Henry) "But how? There are 10 million natives and 20 million colonists, if the colonists don't crush the natives, the natives will crush the colonists. What can be done?"

<Zeltzin> "I don't know. Mediation, agreements, whatever."

(Henry) "Neither side wants that. The colonists here want to wipe out the natives and take all the land they can get."

(Henry) "We have nearly half a million imperial soldiers here to keep the colonists safe."

(Henry) "Some people have suggested we simply pull the army out and force the colonists to talk with the natives about the problems."

(Henry) "Of course the colonists have an army of their own, over half a million of their own soldiers trained and equipped by CM. And then there are the millions of WKM members in Angola, and 10-20% of them are trained paramilitaries."

<Zeltzin> "This situation is getting worse and worse by the minute, though. Something drastic will happen, worse then this and it will be soon."

(Henry) "So pulling out the Imperial forces would just be a pointless betrayal of the colonists, they'd still be able to defend themselves, just not as well, and more of them would die in violence.

The driver turned the car radio on, the report was read like a ghost story.

(Radio) "Over 10,000 white farmers in rural areas were killed within the last 3 hours in what is being called the "August Offensive", the black guerilla bands have begun attacking isolated farmers and the bolder ones are sending sapper bands into the cities. Government forces are fighting back hard and reported over 40,000 enemy guerillas killed, wounded, or captured. Government forces have stated their losses at 3,000 killed and 8,000 wounded. Most of the dead our Colonial Army and Colonial Police."

(Radio) "Governor-General Peter Stahlecker of Angola has issued an international warning that anybody considering travel to Angola should seriously think about the risks associated. Already dozens of landmines in rural regions have killed numerous white farmers and others. Also the major cities are all essentially under martial law and the country is basically in a counter-insurgency campaign against an estimated 250,000 black guerilla fighters.
Luanda and Lobtio have been declared "relatively safe". But travel outside of the major cities is ill advised, especially at night.
Any whites entering Angola should take extreme precautions and should at all times avoid commercial farms in the rural regions of the country.

The radio continued, "Mortar and rocket attacks against Luanda are not uncommon but are not frequent.

The governor-general has declared that, "Essentially white security forces have the situation under control but it is better to be safe than sorry, therefore I suggest all nonessential travel to Angola be deferred until further notice."

(Radio) "The Governor-General has halted all the food shipments to the black townships and has decreed that no white is to help a black obtain food. If they will attack us, they will starve."

<Zeltzin> "I fear that will just create more violence."

(Radio) "Recent reports of SCUD missile attacks against Luanda were simply false communists propaganda designed to scare whites into leaving. We ask that such reports be treated as the trash they are. The colonial government has this situation under control. But we again remind you to avoid travel on any unpaved road as thus far over 2,000 vehicles have been destroyed by landmines in the past 4 weeks."

(Radio) "The governor has declared that Luanda is the safest city on the continent of Africa except for Alexandria which is in Mississippian Egypt."

The car slowly approached the airport; the fires could be seen raging throughout the city, like the infernos of hell.

Zeltzin was stunned. Damn, she felt bad, for everybody in the terrible situation.

(Radio) "Reports earlier that a band of white paramilitary fighters massacred an entire black township of over 50,000 are false and untrue, they are enemy lies designed to wear down the morale of our soldiers, they are to be disregarded."

Zeltzin> "Nevertheless, it should be investigated."

(Radio) "We will not replay the speech the governor gave about 30 minutes ago"

(Governor Peter Stahlecker recording) "Now I want to tell you ladies and gentlemen, that there's not enough nig--rs in this country to chase the white man out and we're not going to leave today, we're not going to leave tomorrow, and we're never going to leave! We're going to stay here and we're going to fight here, and if we need to, we're going to die here! This is our land and we're not going to let a bunch of savage nig--rs take it from us. God guided our people here and He grants us such bountiful harvests, He asks only that we separate ourselves from the dark races and that we don't mix with them. And how do we separate? We drive them out, they don’t' belong here; Luanda was built by white Portuguese in 1575. This land is for our people and a bunch of nig--rs won’t drive us out. White Power!”

(Radio) "That was the speech from the governor-general Peter Stahlecker, he has vowed to lobby Mississippi Imperial Authorities to send more Imperial Soldiers from Mississippi herself. Perhaps even the famed Republican Guard."

(Radio) "Reports are coming in that, Oh my God! They've sacked Luena!"

(Radio) "Approximately 95,000 black guerilla fighters armed with soviet grade weaponry overran the 500 white police and 2,000 white colonial soldiers in Luena and went on an orgy of violence. It is reported from the handful that survived, that every white woman was raped in front of a male relative, and then they were all massacred. Over 35,000 dead.”

(Radio) "The Governor-General has invoked Rule 27 of the colonial military authority code. He is granting clearance to all officers ranked captain or higher in the Colonial Army, to use chemical weapons if they choose to."

<Zeltzin> "More the reason to get out."

(Radio) "Reports are coming in that thousands of White Paratroopers from colonial parachute units have begun dropping into rural areas to secure white owned farms. White farmers are cheering this move. The Angolan Special Air Assault Squads (ASAAS) has also reported to have dropped 500 operators into Luena and they have driven the blacks out of the city and inflicted over 15,000 casualties on them, with the loss of just 12 of their own."

(Henry) "The Angolan Special Air Assault Squads, they are the elite of the colonial parachute units, there are about 1,000 operators in the ASAAS."

(Radio) "100 ASAAS parachuted into Zambia along the Zambezi river and directly into an enemy guerilla camp where over 5,000 armed guerillas were. They killed approximately 1,800 and suffered only a few wounded. They made their way along the river back into Angola.

They get to the airport and see a swarm of people with luggage and suitcases, at least 500,000 colonists are crowding the airport to get out on Angola and return to Mississippi.

They get to Henry's private plane, it can easily hold about 100 people, and he asks Zeltzin, “Would you mind if I let some strangers on here They really want to get out of here fast."

<Zeltzin> "The more, the better."

He tells about 100 people to hurry up and get onto his plane. They quickly surge forward and swarm onto the plane. There are at least nine-hundred 747s and over one-thousand C-130s loading other people up. There are tents pitched all around the airport as people who have had it with Angola, with the Scuds etc, are leaving.

The plane eventually gets airborne. Henry and Zeltzin are in Henry's private room. He asks her, "Are you going to go mingle with any of the people?"

<Zeltzin> "I was going to, should I?"

(Henry) "If you want to, just be very careful to be sensitive, remember these people have just lost their homes and their nation, they're basically refugees."

<Zeltzin> "I understand, Henry."

(Henry) "Okay."

Zeltzin goes out of his private room and looks around at the people...all of them have glum and sad expressions.

There was a man in a chair asking people, "Have you heard if Luena is okay? I heard the blacks attacked it, were they chased away?"

Nobody had heard anything.

Zeltzin remembered the radio in the car saying, "Luena has been sacked, the blacks have gone on an orgy of violence and destruction."

The man mumbled something, somewhat to himself, somewhat to those around him, "My brother and his family... Live in Luena."

One of the people was asking, "Has anybody heard in Cabinda has come under attack? My son lives in Cabinda. Anybody?" One of the men replied, "I'm a colonial intelligence officer, well I was, and no Cabinda is fine." The man breathed a sigh of relief.

The man who was asking about Luena looked at Zeltzin and managed to through his nervousness, choke out, "Do you know anything about Luena?"

The man's eyes were full of anticipation of either a yes or no answer that Luena was either fine or in ruins, he needed to know, he just needed to know, the not knowing was killing him.

Zeltzin was in a tough bind. She knew telling him 'Luena has been destroyed' would devastate him. If he told him 'The City had been saved' He would eventually find out the truth. If she had told him 'I don't know, he would continue to worry.


One of the men with earphones on called out, "Was somebody asking about Luena?"

The man jumped from his seat, and exclaimed, "Yes, what is it?"

The man with the radio replied, "It's been leveled."

The words hit the man like steel, he collapsed into his seat and started to breathe heavily and sweat profusely.

Zeltzin then held his arm and was trying to help him.

The man with the radio called out again, "Cabinda was just attacked, but only by a few teams of sappers, they were beaten back or killed. Menongue was also attacked, but nothing serious, no damage. Huambo was hit by Scuds, a few hundred killed." As he called out each city and then stated "Nothing serious" people sighed, as he would call out "Scud" or "Major attack", some people would tense up.

(Man with radio) "The governor is appealing to Mississippi to send in the Republican Guard Internal Security units, he wants 5 entire division from the RGISA. It's up to the Premier now, but the acting Premier Mladic was injured in a car accident, they have yet to publicly announce who the new acting premier will be. Let us all pray for Mladic and for the Premier Curtis Fabus to both get well."

Despite being worried sick about their own problems, everybody bowed their head and prayed for Curtis Fabus and Joseph Mladic.

(The pilot turns the radio for the whole plane on via the intercom) (Radio) "There were several survivors from Luena. Here is one now." (A man starts to speak, the man in the seat who had sank down jumped up and exclaimed) "That's my brother's voice! He lives!"

(Brother via radio) "How did I survive you ask? My family and I we took cover in the sewer when the first shells came in."

(Man) "I knew he would be smart enough to survive! I knew it!"

(Radio) "Reports of mass lynchings against the blacks in the townships began to come in a few hours after word of the sacking of Luena reached the white citizens via radio and television. Governor-General Stahlecker is expected to address the colony in 20 minutes."

20 minutes later the governor-general Peter Stahlecker started to speak via radio, "Mississippian colonists of Angola. I call on you to stand firm and not to abandon your rightful land in the face of attacks by savages. I have authorized the colonial army and police to use chemical weapons to suppress these brutal and uncalled for tribal rebellions against us. I am giving the blacks 8 days to come to terms with us and then we will unleash such a storm against them that they will wish they'd never been born. Stand firm and do not leave your land. Also if you live on a rural farm, stay indoors and take cover immediately, army units are parachuting to secure all known rural farms, send signal flares to get help, use the radio, we are coming, know we are coming."

The plane eventually landed in Mississippi. In the next 12 hours the colonial population of Angola went down to about 18,980,000 as over 50,000 were killed in the past few days of fighting and almost 1 million fled.

Henry was talking to Zeltzin after everybody got off the plane.

(Henry) "I don't know what will happen in Angola, it won't be good though.”

(Henry) "What do you think we should do? Send in the Republican Guard?"

She decided just to lay it out on the line. "Henry, I feel terrible for the colonists. They have undoubtedly been through a terrible trauma. However, the retaliatory lynching and the military actions will just perpetuate violence. Now, don't get me wrong, you need to defend your people. However, I feel if we send in the Republican Guard and conduct massive military raids, the result will be disastrous. We need to get the colonists and the natives talking without compromising the colonist security.

The radio in the plane was still on.

(Radio) "Black tribal leaders are claiming that white colonial government forces used hydrogen cyanide gas to kill over 35,000 blacks in villages along the Zambezi. White colonial government officials are vehemently denying these charges and they state and I quote, "A nig--r wouldn't be able to tell hydrogen cyanide from sarin, how the hell would they have any idea what gas is what, but remember, we didn't use any gas to begin with."

(Radio) "Reports that several hundred rural whites, male and female, captured by blacks were run through the blades of saw mills, have been confirmed. In response to these confirmations, a band of paramilitary whites have vowed to and I quote the leader of this paramilitary group, "Lynch every goddamned nig--r for fifty miles."

(Radio) "The Governor-general Peter Stahlecker has declared that any black setting foot within 10 miles of a city is to be shot on sight."

<Zeltzin> "There is too much blood in the streets already. If you allow this to continue on, Angola will be literally destroyed. Whites will be dead as well as blacks."

(Henry) "How can it end? They want to kill each other."

<Zeltzin> "We have to convince them there is a better way. We have to convince them that although all of society's problems won't end, there is a better way then to handle it in bloodshed and destruction."

(Radio) "The black guerilla army has vowed to not stop until quote, "Every last white is dead" end quote, and the white paramilitary units have vowed to not stop until quote, "Every black is out of Angola or dead and no longer a problem."

(Radio) "Colonial Government officials offered to hold talks with black guerilla leaders and discuss portioning Angola, but the blacks have united behind a movement called "Movement for the Total Freedom of Angola. MTFA. They have spurred offers for talks on anything less than the whites leaving."

(Radio) "An average of over 8,000 people a day have been killed or injured in Angola for the past 4 weeks."

<Zeltzin> "I can't honestly believe every single black in Angola is supporting this "MTFA". If true peace were guaranteed, more and more would want it. Hell, if a neutral third party needs to mediate the talks, then let it be!"

(Radio) "The Colonial government has declared that Zaire and Zambia are indeed supporting the guerillas by allowing over 400,000 of their citizens to join and fight for the MTFA. Colonial units of the elite ASAAS have been rumored to be operating in Zambia and Zaire."

(Radio) "The until now quiet Christian Martyrs Brigade has vowed to bomb every black township in Angola, and if necessary, to carry their campaign into Zaire and Zambia. They have vowed to martyr themselves for God."

(Henry) "Zeltzin, have you heard of the CMB before?"

Zeltzin had to tell the truth "Yes, I had."

(Henry) "What do you think should be done about them?"

(Radio) "There are an estimated 500,000 CMB members in Angola.”

<Zeltzin> "Honestly, I believe they need to be stopped. To be completely frank, they are a fanatical group that is convinced that their ways are the only true way and will not obey any law, treaty or pact that prevents them from their goals. They are in essence, state-funded terrorists fighting under the supposed flag of God."

(Henry) "Yes, but you know officially CM denies any links to them. But you know unofficially who approved their creation? Father did, something that major required his personal approval."

(Henry) "I told him they'd get out of hand and end up more trouble than they'd ever be worth, but he thought fanatics would make good soldiers due to their devotion."

<Zeltzin> "Henry, you were right. They are more trouble."

(Henry) "They do make good soldiers, if they can be controlled. Which is a big if."

(Henry) "Did you know there are over 5 million CMB and over 40 million private citizens of Mississippi and her territories that give money from their own pockets to the CMB."

<Zeltzin> "I didn't know that. Giving so much power and competency to a Paramilitary group is asking for trouble. They have so much backing, they have the power. Same thing with all these Para military groups. There are so many factions that don't have to answer to government or common sense, they believe they can do anything."

(Henry) "CMB has been behind most embassy bombings in the past few months."

(Henry) "We attribute no less than 800,000 killed and over 3,000,000 wounded or injured to the actions of the CMB and their affiliates. Most of the dead were in civil-wars, rebellions, etc, uprisings, but a large number were civilians."

(Henry) "I'd say their crusade has gone on long enough, wouldn't you?"

<Zeltzin> "Henry, I tell you this both as a friend and a professional, you are absolutely correct."

<Zeltzin>"And if I were to bring solid proof to you that the CMB is preparing for operations in the ANL, I guess it would only further the point."

(Henry) "I've heard rumors from friends in the DIS about that, but if we don't let them out of the country. I will seal all the borders tight with the RGISA and issue orders not to let large numbers of armed people leave.”

(Henry) "We should be moving along now, I need to get to the Army High command and get situation reports and updates on Angola."

They get into a car and head for the Army High Command building. Meanwhile in Angola, there is only death, destruction, mayhem, and carnage; the violence seems to have no end in sight.

<Zeltzin> "I can tell you this Henry, if you are going to try to set things right, you'll need a lot of personal support. I will always be by your side."

Bump, ANL, You want you and I to keep working on this here, or is it kind of dead?

LRR military intelligence is quick to pick up on the situation in ANL. SIGINT trawlers pick up evidence of Communist Mississipian military activity, and Aluka class attack submarines are deployed to protect the ANL coast.

In LRR proper, ten para divisions are put on alert, prepared for immediate deployment to Aztec National League should communist mississippi or rebel forces make an appearance.

OOC- You're way behind on events, Henry Fabus basically pressured the CMB out of existence and called off all plans for PMCs (Private Military Corporations) to be sent to help rebels in ANL. He moderated the government before he was arrested by the cabinet and replaced with his hardline brother Roger Fabus.

OOC: This aint dead...I'm just busy.

IC:
"The ANL's Marxist democracy makes no sense at all. It's hypocritical!" Exclaimed Azhultan, speaking to his supporters. "I think it's time for a change. The motto of the ANL is "Communism without Totalitarianism is the way. Well, all I have to say to that is I have my own way. This society we live in is so loose and degenerated, it's shameful. In civilized society, there are people who create the rules, and those who serve the powers that be and follow the rules to the t. We, my friends, will be at the top, we create a respectable nation and people. It is our duty to our people and nation to restore order, even if we have to violently oppose the powers that be."

With that, a small group of 10,000 people formed up to wage war against a large government. To them, they were freedom fighters, to the ANL government, they would be terrorists.

Under the Roger Fabus government, the following organizations were hired to fight alongside the anti-government rebels in ANL for a period of six months, to be extended if necessary.


Vertical Envelopment: 10 Parachute Divisions, each based on the standard CM organization except they each have only 250 C-130s and 100 Mi-24s. They are all Ex-Paratroopers, they have OICW and XM8s, they are organized into standard CM armed forces division organization. Cost 100 billion per month

Tactical Solutions: Specializes in surgical strikes against specific enemy targets. Employs 5,000 operatives. Price 1 billion dollars per month, may increase if risk increases.

The paratroopers were readying to make High-Altitude-High-Opening jumps over international waters so they could drift into ANL without their C-130s ever having to intrude into ANL airspace. The Mi-24s would move in at nap of the earth levels and each would carry about 6 special operators that would disembark and join the anti-government forces.

Tactical Solutions was planning on gaining entry by inserting their people via the Gulf of Mexico. The plan was to use specially designed submarines to get just outside of ANL waters and then the operators would swim the 12 miles to shore. They would also use miniature underwater craft that were specially designed to not give any signs of their presence.

(Ooc- The French Legion combat swimmers in the swimming units will swim very long distances, so don't think this is unrealistic)

A communique is sent to the ANL government:

The LRRA can send up to 20 divisions to reinforce the government against a possible rebellion, deployable immediately.

Deep within AIA headquaters...

"With Roger Fabus taking control over Mississippi, it seems likely Mississippi will attempt a coup again within our borders. It seems inevitable that we will be forced into a conflict, either with Mississippi Para military groups or the government herself." Spoke the AIA Director, Agent Garza.

"Well, we can try to prevent them from comming in. Said Chief Warrior-General Tlanextic. "I can station about 250,000 Red Gaurdsmen and 175,000 Jaguar Warriors on our Northern borders (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California) and 175,000 Red Gaurdsmen and 150,000 Jaguar Warriors on our Southern Borders in Guatemala and Honduras. Also, we have good control over the Gulf, we can beef up patrols."

Dr. Darius Wellington, the Foreign Affairs Minister said "I can try last ditch diplomatic resolution, but I know that probably won't work. The most I can do is send out secret communiques to our allies to send us support. Also, we can probably set stricter controls and inspection on all containers and in-bound traffic.

An aide walked into the building and handed the Minister a note. Dr. Wellington smiled...

"Well, it appears we have LRR's support already. They are offering 20 divisions."

Tlanextic was pleased "Good, tell them that they are cleared to land at Veracruz, Tenochitilan or Chiuaua.

The group continued their meeting...Afterwards, Dr. Wellington sent out two communiques, one to Roger Fabus in Mississippi and the other to LRR.

To: Acting-Premier Roger Fabus
From: Dr. Darius Wellington, Forigen Affairs Minister, The Democratic Proletariat Union of Aztec National League.

"Considering the current global conditions, it is imperative for the powers in the world to establish peace with each other. With that said, the ANL hereby offers a peace agreement with the following conditions:

-ANL and Mississippian military or para military forces are not allowed within the borders, airspace or waters or either nations without explicit permission. Violations of this agreement can be considered acts of war.

-Cargo Frieghters may transverse waters, but, are subject to through inspection at the destination port. Also, cargo freighter and airline travel will be limited.

We hope you will agree to these terms.
-----------------------------

Dr. Welligton then sent this to LRR:
We graciously accept your offer of 20 divisions of your military. Although our is well trained and capable, it would be tactically wise to get all the help we can.

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

Meanwhile, Azhultan sent out a telegram to Mississippi on a secret bandwith the AIA could not track or decode.

I, Azhultan would very much appricate any assistance possible in overthrowing the current regime. However, I will respond shortly with more economical information as soon as I have it.

OOC: With that, I'm off to the movies.

Ooc- Note for me this is taking place just before Curtis Fabus resumes the Premiership. (He resumes about November 19th-20th) My RP timelines are all messed up and intertwined, so I need to sort them out and get up to the same time on all of them.


Roger Fabus replied, "We cannot and will not be held liable for the actions of private citizens that wish to take up arms in violation of our laws. We will however attempt to bring them to justice if they are captured and returned to us."

The LRRAF air transport command quickly embarks the first of 20 para-rifle divisions to be sent to ANL.

After an 18-hour flight, the 85th Para-Rifle division lands in Veracruz.

The paratrooper mercenaries began leaping from the C-130s, well outside ANL airspace. They would drift down and land about 1/2-1 mile inland.

The Vice Premier sat with the Soviet Congress in a emergency session.

"One of our ex-Generals has betrayed his nation and is likely to commence in a terrorist campaign." Spoke the Vice Premier, "We also have conclusive proof that para military groups from Mississippi will be trying to assist them. Premier Roger Fabus will not sign any peace agreement, and he has also said Mississippi is not responsible for the actions of their private citizens."

Jorge Arroyo, the Congress Majority Leader said "What is the government proposing to do?"

The Vice Premier looked at his collegue and said "Right now, we are deploying troops to our borders to secure them. 425,000 to the North and 325,000 to the South. That still leaves the main land extremely well protected. Also, our Navy is doing increased patrols, mainly focusing on our North Eastern waters, however, we have patrols in our western and south eastern waters too. This is being suplemented by AZ-21s, being deployed from land and AZ-25s and 29s being deployed by carriers (all my fighters are MiG Varients) survalence. AZ-23s, and 27s are surveyings the mainland. Not to mention, Veracruz is probably the most protected city in the ANL, it has 20 LRR divisions, the Naval Base, the Air Base and 15,000 Red Gaurdsmen are stationed there. We also have 10,000 JWIs there."

The Congress Minority Leader, John Kirkland said "Well wait. The ANL military is a good military, but it's primarily a defensive military. If we are about to be invaded and fight another coup, we have to have a military capable of offensive attack. We shouldn't repeat what happened in our Civil War."

After some diliberations, John Kirkland won the support of the Congress. The military would immediatly begin a massive overhall program. The ANL could easily pay for it, but the Premier and his adminstration was pacifist, so the military had always been negelceted. All that would change within the next couple of months.

Meanwhile...

Azhultan and nine other of his men went with him to meet the Mississippian para military groups. With him was Professor Dundov, ready to discuss terms of payment and that sort. Although Azhultan's side had limited funds, they were planning on generating massive amounts of money within the next couple of weeks. The group was planning drug sales, weapons sales in addition to legitimate buisness fronts. As soon as they reached the coast, Azhultan looked on his watch. "Come on, be on time." He wasn't refereing to Mississippi's forces.

~~Tenochitilan~~
A man was driving a car down the main throughfare of the city. He was extremely nervous and sweating, he was running late. The glass skyscrapers (government offices) reflected the grand blue sky while the small adobes and old buildings inbetween gave the city an ecletic feel. The busy monorails passed overhead, scurrying to their next destination. In was truely a city of the 21st century. The man parked the old rickety car in the underground parking lot of a laege but non descript office building. The car stopped and turned off. The trunk was poped open. He pulled out a brown paper wraped package and set it to one of the collums of the parking lot. He ran back into the car, turned it on and gunned the engine. He turned and drove off on to the main street, throwing a cassette tape out the window into some bushes. The police gave chase to the car and called for back up.

In the parking structure, a government worker stepped out of the elevator, exhausted from his long day. Finally, he was able to go home.

---
A massive explosion sounded, to be followed by the shock wave. People screamed and looked to see what had happened. Dust, debris and glass flew in every direction. Car alarms sounded and the city shook for a couple of seconds, as if an earthquake had hit. Then, as quickly as it began, it was over.

People gathered around the destroyed building. It was completely gone. The only sign that it ever existed was the rubble all piled up in the deep basement. If this had been any other building, the fear might have been subsided, but no, this building was one of the most important in the enitre ANL. This was the main administrative building that controled all the social services, education and healthcare services in the ANL. In it were 400 hundred workers.

----------------
Later that night, a AIA agent inspected the tape. It was a VHS/VCR tape, so he put it in the player on it was a short but cryptic message from Azhultan.

"The war has just only begun."

(S'cuse me...but could you summarize the RP in a few short sentences?I can't read the entire thing.That is if you want me to join.)

Paratroopers from the mercenary operation began to land in their drop zones all throughout ANL. Approximately 180,000 paratroopers from the Vertical Envelopment Private Military Corporation landed without incident in their drop zones. Except for 12 paratroopers who were scattered and each landed on the roof of a building in a 8 different small towns. They were captured by local authorities.

Basically, the story is about a General who hates my current system of government is going to attempt a coup with the help of CM para military groups. I sent an spy to Mississippi to find out what she could find out, she falls in love with CM's premier's son and they try to stop Mississippi from helping the coup, but they are arrested and the general will start a revolution and a terrorist campaign.

Ooc- ANL, get on yahoo in a few hours or so if you have the time.

The LRRA paratroopers dig in around Veracruz and wait for the rebels to make the first move.

Ooc- ANL is this still going?

Why don't you come along on Yahoo for a while so we can do RP working. :D

The following occurred the day Angola fell, it involved Henry Fabus and his being arrested and replaced by Roger Fabus. ANL Rped Zeltzin, CM handled the other roles, but if ANL characters come into play, ANL will handle them.

Henry and Zeltzin were lying in bed in the Imperial Residence in Jackson City; it was over 16 weeks since they had been in Angola. It had been 12 weeks since Henry pulled the Imperial Army units out of Angola and sent them to Mississippian Libya. The white population of Angola had shrunk to less than 5 million, and their colonial army was under constant and massive pressure from the increasing guerilla armies.


Henry and Zeltzin were both startled awake when eight members of the Department of Internal Security Domestic Police unit arrived at the palace, walked up the stairs and kicked the doors of the bedroom in and then stormed in and proclaimed, "Henry Fabus, you are hereby stripped of your rank and title and placed under arrest."

Zeltzin grabbed Henry's arm, shocked by the situation.

The captain of the police unit said, "Get up you traitor" he then looked at Zeltzin and said, "You too whore, move it!"

Roger Fabus came walking in and said, "That's not necessary to arrest them, just confine them to Henry's estate in Pike County."

(Henry) "So you're behind this Roger?"

(Roger) "Angola just fell you treacherous asshole, over 3 million whites died in the final stage of the fall, over 5 million blacks died as well. You never should have pulled the imperial forces from there, the cabinet voted 9 to 3 to invoke rule 19."

Roger told Henry and Zeltzin to get dressed and get ready to be moved to Pike County.

Roger and the police left the room while they were getting dressed.

(Henry) "Zeltzin, are you okay?"

<Zeltzin> (While dressing) "Henry, do you know what they will do to us?"

(Henry) (Worried, his voice shakes) "They hang traitors."

(Henry) (Reassuring himself) "But my own brother, Roger, could never hang me."

Zeltzin wasn't to convinced by Henry's forced optimism. "They'll probably go after me or at the least send me back."

(Henry) "I won't let them, I have friends, supporters, I can hire mercenaries if I have to."

<Zeltzin> (putting on her shoes) "Well, I hope so."

Roger came back in the room, a pistol in his hand, he said, "Okay traitor, you and your whore are not to be killed if that's what you're worried about, you will stay in Pike County on your estate Henry, you'll be under close watch, and we've frozen your assets so you can't try anything funny like bringing in outside mercenaries. Besides, I don't think you're the sort who would so readily plunge a nation into civil-war, you've not the spine for it."

(Henry) (Holding Zeltzin with his arm around her) "It'll be okay, ready to go now?"

The captain of the police unit led Henry and Zeltzin into a waiting limousine and then they drove off towards Pike County.

The captain and 2 police were sitting in the back of the limousine with them, keeping guns trained on them.

They were driving down the road, Henry said, "You know, you just missed the turn for the road to Pike County."

(Captain) (Laughing) "We're taking the scenic route!"

(Henry) "Where the hell are we going?"

(Captain) "Shut up, you'll see soon enough."

About fourty minutes later, the limousine came to a stop in front of a large cornfield on an Indian reservation, the captain opened the door, one of the guards stepped out, and he told Henry "Get out!”

(Henry) "Why?"

(Captain) "Because I said so."

The Captain motioned at Zeltzin, "You wait here."

One of the guards in the car kept a gun trained on her, the captain and the other guard shoved Henry back down a path in the cornfield.

Zeltzin was completely silent, although in horror. She looked down towards Henry, wondering what they would be doing to him. And what they would do to her.

(Henry) (To the Captain) "So when are you going to kill me?"

(Captain) "Here should do, stop and kneel down please."

About 10 seconds later Zeltzin heard a loud pistol shot echo throughout the night, breaking the silence, but she had no idea the captain just fired next to Henry to scare him shitless, as he'd been ordered to do.

Henry was shaking on the ground and said, "Why didn't you shoot me?"

The captain laughed and said, "I wasn't ordered to!"

Over in the car, Zeltzin was shaking, thinking Henry was dead.

The captain said, "But I was ordered to do this!" as he clubbed him over the back of the head and knocked him unconscious.

The guard and the captain dragged the limp Henry back to the car, Zeltzin saw him and thought he was dead.

(Captain) (To Zeltzin) "Well, you're next!"

Zeltzin looked up at him and said nothing. She then looked at Henry, trying to find a bullet hole or a head wound of any sort.

(Captain) "I'm just kidding, we're not going to kill you, he's not dead, just unconscious, check his pulse! HAHAHAH! Got you good!"

They got back into the car where they had already placed the unconscious Henry.

Except this time they got into the middle section and let the back section be for Henry and Zeltzin, they locked the doors from the outside though and disabled the windows.

About thirty minutes later, Henry stirred back into consciousness, "What the hell happened?" he said, not knowing who he was asking as his vision was blurred.

<Zeltzin> "Henry, it's me...Zeltzin. You were hit on the back of the head by a blunt object of some sort."

(Henry) (Rubbing his head) "Are you okay?"

<Zeltzin> "I'm alright. Just a bit shaken up."

(Henry) "Do you know where we are now?" As he asked that, she saw a sign reading, "Now entering Pike County”

<Zeltzin> "I guess we are here."

(Henry) "Then we must have been in Amite before, there is an Indian reservation in Amite."

About fifteen minutes after they entered the county, they pulled onto Henry's estate and opened the door and told them both, "Out!"

(Captain) "You are confined to this estate, do not at any time attempt to leave, anything you need will be brought to you."

There were at least 12,000 reserve soldiers and 20 DIS police patrolling around the perimeter of the estate.

Zeltzin got out of the car and looked around. No way out, no way back. She then stayed close to Henry.

Henry pulled Zeltzin close to him and kept both of his arms around her as they slowly walked towards the mansion, the gate behind them was closed and locked.

They got inside, Henry said, "Well here we are, it won't be so bad." He was trying to smile but was having a hard time doing so.

She looked around, it was a very nice place, the artwork, the statues, and the rifles he had on display in cases in the "Weapons room", all a very nice place.

<Zeltzin> "At least it's a nice place."

He opened one of the display cases containing a row of pistols and took out two silver engraved Walther PPKs, he checked them and confirmed both were loaded, he tucked one into his pocket and handed one to her, "Just to be safe" he said.

Zeltzin took the gun and then looked around the place.

It had over 73 rooms, spread across 4 floors and then the basement; there was also a bunker beneath the basement, 900 feet below the surface of the earth.

There was a three-dimensional model of the mansion in a large display case; that is how she saw what it contained.

She turned to Henry "Henry, what is the bunker used for?"

(Henry) "It's there in the event of an emergency, it's my personal bunker."

Zeltzin said to herself, "I wonder how long we are going to be here?"

(Henry) "Shall we go get some sleep then?"

<Zeltzin> "I guess so, being woken up so suddenly."

Henry took her hand and led her to the second floor where his favorite bedroom was. Once inside, she saw how lavish it was, the silk curtains, the gold trimmed pillow cases, the curtains around the bed. Henry undressed and lay down.

Henry started to lightly cry, the tears rain down his cheeks, he uttered only a few words, "Zeltzin, I'm afraid."

(Henry) "Not just for us, but for the world, Roger is a warmonger, not as bad as George, but with this cold-war with DPUO going on, Roger could cause a war that would wipe out the world."

<Zeltzin> "This also makes me concerned, as the ANL is allied with DPUO."

(Henry) "Roger wants to annihilate the ANL."

(Henry) "Roger thinks the ANL is part of the axis of evil in the Western Hemisphere and as such it needs to be smashed."

<Zeltzin> "I don't understand why. We haven't done anything to compromise Mississippi. I can assure you, my government won't do anything unless if he starts something."

(Henry) "Roger is the very hard-line zealot when it comes to matters of ideology."

(Henry) "Roger will certainly try to send mercenaries and such to ANL to interfere in the crisis with that general."

(Henry) (Patting the bed next to him) "Come on Zeltzin, let's just forget about Roger and war and things we have no control over and try to relax."

Zeltzin was not in the mood for anything intimate. Her home was threatened. The possibility of war loomed over, like a dark, menacing cloud. She then said "Henry, how long do you think we'll be here. And also, is there anyway out?"

(Henry) "No, there is no real way out, none that I could think of, but I'm not worried, if he said that the cabinet vote was 9-3 that means there are 3 voices of reason, also my brother William and my sisters, they can influence Roger to stay out of war. Roger will take a war if he has to, but he won't start one, I don't think he will. He'll only have a war if it is forced on him. Right now the worst thing the world can do is press him on Libya and Egypt. After the disaster in Angola, he'll be very pissed off."

(Henry) "Shall I turn the TV on so we can see the news? I can get foreign media here so we can see the news from all perspectives, it's good to get different perspectives because our media is basically government propaganda whether it is true or false."

<Zeltzin> "Sure, go ahead."

Henry turned the TV on, the government channel announced, "Def Con 2 has been declared, all SSBN and B-52s are currently just outside enemy territory awaiting the orders to go Def Con 1. Every missile silo is ready and waiting the orders."

There were pictures of soldiers getting into NBC suits in the capital and civilians going into bunkers.

(TV) "Acting Premier Roger Fabus has declared he will sooner see the world destroyed than hand over Libya and Egypt to the communists so what happened in Angola can happen again but on a much larger scale."

The TV went to Angola; there were dead whites all over the major cities, aerial footage of Luena, showed 100,000+ dead bodies and a ruined city.

It showed the earlier pictures of whites and blacks desperate to flee the surrounded Luanda, jumping into the ocean and trying to swim 2 miles to waiting ships, also many tried to float cars and trucks out to the ships by tying empty 50 gallon drums to the bottoms for floatation.

<Zeltzin> "Damn."

(Henry) (Gasping) "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Roger is right, I'm a traitor!"

<Zeltzin> "Henry, get a hold of yourself. Yes, the situation is bad, but do you think what Roger is going to do will be much better?"

The camera showed scenes from Huambo, Cabinda, Luanda, Lobito, and 1/2 dozen other major cities, the cities were piles of burning rubble, no building over 5 stories was left standing, the reporter declared, "Over 2 million whites have been killed in what is being called the "Fall of Angola" over the past few months, the white population dropped from 20 million to 16 million, then gradually down 4 million, most fled, many were killed, but on this day, 2 million were killed and many more fled. In the course of this war, over 6 million white women reported being raped by black guerilla fighters. Many black women and men that refused to support the guerillas were also raped or murdered."

(Reporter) "It is the opinion of the world community and the CM populace that the blame for this rests solely with one man."

(Reporter) "The traitor Henry Fabus who pulled out the entire 600,000 strong Imperial Army and allowed the colony to gradually slide into decline."

<Zeltzin> "Don't listen to that. You are no traitor, you tried a different solution."

Zeltzin changed the channel to an international station, the idea was the same, massacred whites, etc, the reporter declared, "It is clear this would not have happened had Henry Fabus not pulled the Imperial Army out from Angola and sent it to Mississippian Libya. But it must be understood that Henry Fabus is essentially an idiot with little grasp of military strategy, he had already 5 million soldiers in Libya and how could 600,000 more be so urgently needed, while Libya was quiet, Angola was raging he sent the soldiers from the raging colony to the quiet one."

She changed the channel again, the reporter was a black man in a known black supremacist state he said, "We should thank that Henry Fabus, that stupid cracker pulled out all his imperial troops and left the colonial army to fight for themselves, all the blacks had to do was put pressure on the civilian colonists because as they left, their families went with them, and the families often had members who were in the colonial army, as the blacks drove the invading settlers out, the colonial army got weaker, then it finally got too weak. Thank you Henry Cracker Boy Fabus!"

Henry put his head in his hands and said, "Please turn it off."

<Zeltzin> "Can I see what the ANL is saying.”

(Henry) "Okay."

Zeltzin searches for the ANL's public media channel. Eventually, towards the end of the list, she finds it. She hits the buttons and it comes up.

<Reporter> "One might say the debacle in Angola was purely the fault of then acting Premier Henry Fabus. However, there are many factors to weigh in. Although not much is known about Mississippi's handling of colonial governments, press releases from their officials in Angola are often times filled with racial slander, propaganda and hate."

"With that said, it seems likely that the conflict there is purely a clash of Western-style imperialism and the feeling that the white race is superior. With this volatile mix, you will see conditions that make Apartheid governments seem eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize."

"While terrorism is truly a treacherous, terrible thing, there is always a underlying reason. It is up to both parties to come to a peaceful disclose. However, considering the unstable situation in Angola, I'm not sure if a peaceful resolution was possible."

"Lastly, oppression only breeds violence and popular uprising. This is a cycle that repeats itself over and over again. A country cannot make it policy to discriminate and leave out a sector of the population for racial, religious or any reason. All must be treated fair and equal. Oppression does not work."

The ANL reporters received a breaking story that the opposition party in CM, that was legalized under the brief Henry Fabus rule, was just banned and outlawed again by Roger Fabus, his first official act, all of the 2 million political prisoners Henry released have been arrested again by the police on Roger's orders.

<Reporter> Considering the situation in their colonies and the mainland of Mississippi, it would seem likely there will be an insurrection of some sort in the near future. Whether it succeeds or not, time will only tell, but it will happen."

(Henry) "Well Zeltzin, have you seen enough news yet?"

<Zeltzin> "Alright, I'll turn it off." She clicks it off.

(Henry) (Patting the bed) "Come to bed then would you, I'm tired and ready to fall asleep here."

Zeltzin gets over to Henry's bed and lies down.

Henry leans over and kisses her, then says, "Whatever happens Zeltzin, I love you, maybe we can get out of here and go to ANL."

<Zeltzin> "Henry, it's time I tell you something. I'm a lot more involved with the ANL government then being just a mere diplomat. I can grant you diplomatic immunity as soon as we are on ANL soil."

(Henry) "You mean you're in intelligence operations?"

(Henry) "The Department of Internal Security knows a great deal about a great many people. Field Marshal Wilhelm Ernst passed me a warning to watch out for you, but I personally cannot stand that man and I don't listen to anything he says. Besides, what your job is doesn't really bother me, I mean look at my job, well what was my job, it didn't bother you."

<Zeltzin> (Leaning over and whispering) "I'm whispering because they might have the house bugged. Yes, I'm an Agent in the AIA. My rank is Lt. Commander, I've been in intelligence for about 6 years now."

<Zeltzin> "Don't think my relationship with you was all fake. Henry, I do love you."

(Henry) "I know."

(Henry) "So now what? Do we try to get to ANL? Do we stay here and hope Roger is kind enough to spare us? Or do we stay here and hope and pray father assumes the premiership again soon and Roger goes back to leading the cavalry."

<Zeltzin> "I believe our safest bet would be trying to get into the ANL. Although I doubt Roger or your father would kill one of their own blood or me, in the ANL, the possibility wouldn't be there. However, getting there is a whole different manner. Although this is house arrest, it's locked up like a maximum security prison."


(Henry) "I think we'll be safe here. I think if we tried to get out and failed, we'd be in a large amount of trouble."

<Zeltzin> "Hopefully, if we ever do get out, we will be able to flee to the ANL. Although your father and Roger might not kill you, the Mississippian people might pose a threat."

(Henry) (Leaning over and hugging her) "I think we'll be fine here for now though. The Mississippian people wouldn't do anything to harm one of the Premier's sons."

<Zeltzin> "I guess so."

(Henry) "We'll be okay, I won't let anything happen to you."

<Zeltzin> "I feel safe with you, anyways, Henry."

(Henry) "Shall we get some sleep now?"

<Zeltzin> "Sure. Sleep sounds good."

Henry was still hugging Zeltzin as he started to fall asleep, she felt safe with his warm arms around her and his body close to hers.

Slowly, Zeltzin falls asleep. Tired, and hoping to get some sleep.

At about 9 am the next morning they were suddenly awakened when the curtains were pulled back and the sunlight shown through and stirred them from sleep. The major looming over them, Zeltzin knew him, Major Bock.

Bock yelled, "Rise and shine children!"

(Bock) "The 2nd RG Division is currently in Pike County, as such they've tasked me to oversee the security for you two! Isn't that splendid. Zeltzin how are you?"

(Henry) "You know each other?"

<Zeltzin> "Yes, I know him. When I was first in Mississippi, he was guarding the workstation where we conducted our studies. I'm fine, Major Bock."

(Bock) "Well I must say I was surprised to hear you were still alive. I'd have thought the lieutenant took care of. Tell me, how did you get out of that situation?"

(Bock) "How did you persuade him to let you go?"

(Henry) "Listen Bock! I don't know what you're getting at, but drop it!"

(Bock) (Laughing) "HAHAHAHA, I'm in charge here, remember that boy!"

(Henry) "I'm not going to be here forever, when this blows over, I can either be nice to you or have you busted down to lieutenant so fast your head spins. Remember that, depending on how nice or mean you are to me now. You could wind up a general."

(Bock) (Realizing Henry is right) "Okay, makes sense. But I'd still like her to tell me how she got herself out of that situation."

<Zeltzin> "Bribery."

(Bock) "Tell me, what did you give him? You had no money.”

(Bock) "Or should I say, what did you to him, or allow him to do to you?"

(Henry) (Jumping out of bed, naked) "Now listen Bock! Get out of here now or you won't live long enough to regret it!"

Bock was startled by this and said, "Okay, okay, but put some pants on before you come downstairs, well if and when you decide to come downstairs."

Bock turned and left the room, Henry got back into bed and said, "Don't let him bother you. Just curious though, what was he talking about, a lieutenant and what now?"

<Zeltzin> "When the ANL team was at the campsite, a group of men told him we were spies. He believed them and put us at the mercy of a lieutenant. The lieutenant would only let us go if our bribe was good enough."

(Henry) "How did you get away?"

<Zeltzin> "Well, the major was right. We only had $200 on us and, well...(Sighing) "I had to perform a particular type of act. I hated it, but, I had to save my life and the lives of the team members."

(Henry) "That's okay, I understand, you did what you had to to save yourself and your friends. Don't blame yourself, it was the fault of Bock and the lieutenant, if I can find out who the lieutenant was, I'll have him transferred to Western Sahara. I may be in house arrest, but I still have connections."

<Zeltzin> "I'm glad you're not hating me right now."

(Henry) "How could I hate you?”

<Zeltzin> "I'm just surprised how well you've taken the fact that I admitted to you that I am involved with the AIA and in some regrettable situations, I have had to perform ludicrous acts on other people."

(Henry) "Well, we all have secrets, I mean I am the Deputy Minister of Defense and I work with the Domestic Intelligence branch of the Department of Internal Security. I've been involved in quite a number of black ops. Anyway, I love you, so it doesn't bother me if you've been in unfavorable situations, it only worries me that we need to do a better job weeding on the wrong sort of people from the armed forces."

<Zeltzin> "I think we all have our skeletons in our closets. Oh well. So how do you think we are going to be released?"

(Henry) "I think we'll just have to wait until my father gets better and assumes the roles of Premier again, then we'll be released. Perhaps Roger will release us, right now we're classed as possible traitors, and you're classed as a spy, that is what worries me the most."

<Zeltzin> "What should I do if they come after me for being a spy?"

(Henry) "They'll have to get through me to get to you, and I don't think they're willing to go through me, father would be furious."

Major Bock stormed back into the room right at that time, he was laughing.

(Bock) "Well I have some good news for the both of you, well good and bad, well it depends what you consider good and bad."

(Bock) "The Premier Curtis Fabus regained consciousness long enough to pardon you both from any and all crimes you stand accused of, but he slipped back into unconsciousness before he was able to address the issue of your house arrest. So you are to continue to stay here, but you don't have no worry about being shot as traitors or spies.”

Bock then turned and strode out of the room.

(Henry) "Well that's pretty good news isn't it?"

<Zeltzin> "That is particularly good news. Now we just got to get this house arrest lifted."

(Henry) "We are safe here for now, the Premier has spoken, and his word is law."

<Zeltzin> "At least we are safe."

(Henry) "What now? Do we go downstairs and have to deal with that wretched Major Bock, or do we stay up here until he gets tired of sitting around and leaves."

<Zeltzin> "I have a feeling he'll be here for a while and will eventually come back up to tell us something. I'm game for whatever."

Henry turned on the TV and went to a special channel after he entered in a secret code, the surveillance system on the first floor, it showed Major Bock leaving the mansion along with the other guards, but outside there were still the 12,000+ soldiers patrolling the perimeter.

<Zeltzin> "Ok, Bock is gone. Damn, there are a lot of soldiers here."

(Henry) "So what do you want to do now, go downstairs, stay up here?"

<Zeltzin> "How about we go downstairs. I want to look around the house."

(Henry) (Moderate chuckling) "Okay, well first we probably should get dressed yes?"

<Zeltzin> "Yeah, good idea."

They got dressed and then left the room to proceed downstairs.

Before long, patrols conducted by LRRA units discover heavy rebel buildups.

If the airborne insertion thing had been tried in LRR, the C-130s would have all gone down in big fireballs and the swimmers killed by patrol boats. But it was not, and so the landing had gone foolishly unopposed.

But it would be quite difficult to even touch Veracruz, with 20 entrenched paratrooper divisions supported by artillery.

Dawn

The Lt. Governor of the state of Chiapas walked down to the State Capitol building. Chiapas was one of the lesser developed states of the ANL, and many politicans would think it was foolish to be walking out and about, unprotected. But no, not the Lt. Governor. In fact, many of the people came to respect him. A very charasmatic figure, he made the people happy with his populist views. Many people thought he could be Premier one day. All of that would change.

As the Lt. Governor walked down the street he typically takes to work, a young man gets a snipper rifle and takes aim from the second story window of his apartment. He trains the rifle onto his target...waits for a couple of seconds...then fires.

A shot rings out and cuts down the Lt. Governor. A bullet goes right through his heart, killing him almost instantly. The young assasin leaves his rifle and runs out of the building, never to return. Although he was quick, a ISPA agent nearby saw him and gave chase. The ISPA agent pulled out a standard .45 Magnum out of his holster and took aim and fired. The speeding bullet hit the assasin in the back. He was arrested and will be interrorgated and tried for assasination and posetion of a firearm.

Mid-day

A frieght train leaves the Industrial parts of Veracruz and begins to head towards the Sea Ports. In it are several crates of goods and other manufactured items. Once the train reaches the port, long shoremen began to load up a cargo freighter ship with supplies. Unknown to the crew of the ship or the long shoremen, one of the workers of the ship gets into one of the inspected boxes filled with explosive chemicals and puts a time bomb in. He then closes the box and re-seals it. After that, he leaves for his lunch break.

An hour later...

An loud explosion rocked the port. The cargo frieghter had sustained severe damage. Its hull had a gapping 30 ft diameter hole. About 21 port workers and 17 ship crew members died either because of the explosion or the damage recived from the explosion.

Night

The small town of Chiuaua settles in for the night. The bright stars overhead and the moon illuminate the midnight blue sky. However, not far from the city, a natural gas powerplant provides the city with electricity. However, a truck parked near some powerlines. The 4 men jumped out of it and ran.

An explosion brought down the main powerlines feeding the city. Immediatly, half the power failed in the city, but redundant systems soon kicked in. Frustrated by this failure, one of men took out a Molotov cocktail. As he was about to throw it, several ISPA agents surronded them and arrested all four of them. All of them are going to be interrorgated and tried for destroying public property, attempting to destroy public property, sabotage.

Midnight

Azhultan was sitting by a fire, waiting to hear the report on the activities of today. He wanted the news was filled with reports of terrorist attacks, just to scare the people. His second officer came up and talked to him.

"Overal, the day was productive. We have assasinated the Lt. Governor, destroyed a frieghter plus killed several people. In addition to that, the harbor was temporarily shut down. However, we could not destroy the power station in Chiuaua. Also, our men were captured in Chiapas and Chiauam so they will probably be interroragted."

Azhultan was satified with what happened. "Good, tell the authorities we take full pride and responsiblity for what has happened today."

"Yes, sir."

Azhultan continued to sit at the fire, anxious to meet with the help from Mississippi. It was beginning to look like the Soviet government would collapse.

Henry and Zeltzin walked downstairs in the mansion they were confined in.

There were guards right outside the front door.

(Henry) "Lot of guards around eh?"

<Zeltzin> "How many do you think?"

(Henry) "Well there is probably a full division here."

<Zeltzin> "Yeash, a lot."

(Henry) "I wonder what Roger is going to do as acting Premier? I heard rumors he was planning on sending over 250,000 mercenaries into ANL."

<Zeltzin> "250,000 Mercenaries. I'm sure the rebel Azhultan is going to have a field day when they meet each other." (OOC: Let's RP that later)

(Henry) "Well the mercenary units all have large chemical arsenals at their disposal."

<Zeltzin> "They'll probably use them at the first possible chance."

(Henry) "Possibly, mercenaries are unpredictable though. They've used gas in the past."

<Zeltzin> "I can tell you, the ANL military doesn't use chemical weapons, but it I know our military has special training in dealing with chemical warfare."

(Henry) "The mercenaries are all battle-hardened elites, some of these men are the men who survived the Angolan war. In the last few weeks of the Angolan war, it was so bad, there were 40,000 soldiers left fighting off 3 million guerillas. They held for a while though."

(Henry) "In one operation in Angola in a city of Luena, the blacks took the city, about 15,000 took it, the whites dropped 500 of the Special Air Assault Squads operatives in, and inflicted over 5,000 losses on the enemy before the enemy fell back, the whites lost on 12 soldiers killed and about 100 wounded. These are the sort of men the mercenaries are, most are ex-special forces."

<Zeltzin> "Wow. It sounds like both sides are in for a very tough fight."

(Henry) "Yes, and the mercenaries are very fond of committing atrocities against civilians."

<Zeltzin> "How will they get onto ANL land. From what I last heard, the northern border has been closed off to all unregulated traffic and over 300,000 troops have fortified the borders. The southern border is closed all together and had about 250,000 troops?"

(Henry) "Roger was set to have them all parachute in a while ago, a few hours probably, right after they arrested me it is likely they parachuted in. These guys are experts at getting into nations, they'll get in if try to."

<Zeltzin> "Very interesting tactic."

(Henry) "They'll probably do High-altitude-high-opening jumps, from C-130s and C-17s in international waters, then float all the way down many miles into ANL."

<Zeltzin> "Knowing Azhultan's strategies and experience as a General, he'll probably place his supporters and the Mercenaries away from ANL surveillance."

(Henry) "The group they'll be hiring will likely be the company Vertical Envelopment, they're a ruthless group, they're well-known as fierce warriors but they give no quarter. They've killed over 400,000 civilians in the last year."

(Henry) "They're pretty shady characters, most of these mercenaries."

<Zeltzin> "Shady characters, as in likely ex-felons?"

(Henry) "No, but many were discharged from the army for discipline problems, looting, murder, stealing weapons, etc."

<Zeltzin> "Sounds shady enough. They'll be in good company with Azhultan. I don't understand why the ANL military had to place him as a General."

(Henry) "I'm just worried they indiscriminately use chemical weapons. They'll probably shell the capital if they don't get their demands met."

<Zeltzin> "Probably with Azhultan's blessings, too. Can I tell you some things about him?"

(Henry) "Yes, please do tell."

<Zeltzin> "During the ANL's civil war a while back ago, the Communist government was caught completely unprepared and short on good generals. The AIA was asked to do background checks for General candidates, and I was in charge of researching then-Colonel Azhultan. "During the civil war, he tended to jump into things without careful planning or thinking. However, he was able to win because of the sheer brutality of his tactics. While he was prohibited from using WMDs, he often times committed human rights violations on both rebels and innocent civilians. I also suspect he was a double agent, working both for the ANL military and the rebels. "The military has deemed him to be severely mentally unstable. Most people under his command believe he is somewhat of a schizophrenic and a megalomaniac. He also will not stop no matter what. No matter what human costs are involved."

(Henry) "So why was he promoted?"

<Zeltzin> "He was promoted because he is a good tactician. I complained to the military, the AIA and the government and protested his promotion. However, the rebels were gaining the upper hand and when he had his own division, he stopped much of the rebel offensive."

<Zeltzin> "It is rumored that much of the rebels were forced into his army. They were kidnapped and forced to fight."

(Henry) "Your country seems to have a large number of internal security problems. Do you have a permanent standing internal security force? I mean army units specially trained to crush rebellions and coups, and that being their only real job."

<Zeltzin> "No, we don't. Typically, the ANL government just tries to appease everyone unless if the price is too high."

(Henry) "Here in Mississippi we have a 20 division strong army called the Republican Guard Internal Security army."

(Henry) "Over 400,000 soldiers tasked solely with internal security operations, guarding against coups, possible rebellions, uprisings, riots, army mutinies, anything that threatens the regime."

<Zeltzin> "Usually, we have no major problems. However, every once in a while, this happens. The AIA is pushing the government so it can open up a KGB type program in which it operates it's own military solely to put down any sort of dangerous insurrection. The petition has always fallen on deaf hears, but I believe the government might authorize it."

(Henry) "When father is well again and back as Premier, perhaps we can send a few of our Internal security divisions to your nation to help you?"

<Zeltzin> "Probably having advisors would be better so we can build our own program."

(Henry) "Aside from being under house arrest here, what do you think of Mississippi?"

<Zeltzin> "When I first came here, I didn't like it. It was radically different then what I was used to in the ANL. However, aside from that, it seems like if you stay out of trouble or any situation, you're treated alright."

(Henry) "I've never been to ANL... What is it like there? I mean are the people as well-off as people are here?"

<Zeltzin> "The ANL is a very progressive society. It is pretty much a classless society. However, it is considered to be a middle class lifestyle. Most of the cities are very futuristic and parks, schools are plentiful and crime is very low. The people tend to have a ton of civil and political rights. Also, while most major industries are operated by the government, several non-vital industries and commerce are starting to be operated by the private sector."

<Zeltzin> "You could say the ANL government is trying for a liberal utopian system, but it has its problems."

(Henry) "What are the main problems?"

<Zeltzin> "Well, until the government started to let small scale capitalism exist, the government was severely overloaded trying to serve everyone. Also, the ever-present internal security deficiencies. Plus, the economy has never been particularly great. It tends to fluctuate a lot and but always ends up where it began, mediocre."

(Henry) "Ah, well we don't really have such problems in our nation. We spend 67% of our budget on religion, defense, and law and order. Approximately 32% on defense, 17% on Law, and 18% on religion."

<Zeltzin> "The ANL has a lot of pluses, though. The environment is pristine, society is not polarized against each other and pretty much everyone is well off."

(Henry) "The environment here is wonderful. There isn't a piece of litter in the entire nation, anybody caught dumping trash gets 10 lashes the first time, the second time they can get 100 lashes, the third time it's a hanging."

<Zeltzin> "Pretty tough laws. I doubt many people litter."

(Henry) "Well the rich often litter, but then they have their servants clean it up for them, that is allowed... But the end result is still the same, no litter."

<Zeltzin> "One thing I fear is if Azhultan's coup is successful, much of the country will go to hell. He has no idea on how to run a country.”

(Henry) "I could have him killed. I have friends in the mercenary units that owe me favors, one of them might be willing to try to get assigned to protect the general and then kill him."

<Zeltzin> "If you did that, you could quite possibly be saving the lives of a lot of people."

(Henry) "I'll see what can be done then, I'll get on it as soon as I can get a message safely through to the outside."

<Zeltzin> "Thank goodness."

(Henry) "What now? What do we do now, we could be here a while, there isn't much to do if we're expected to stay inside, but if we can outside, I own all the land around here in any direction for about 9 miles."

<Zeltzin> "That's quite a bit of land."

(Henry) (Sighs) "Yeah, but what people may tell you about the rich being happy, it's not always true. Sure I have a lot of land, but in the end, what is land really?"

<Zeltzin> "True."

(Henry) "Lands, titles, in the end, it's nothing. I have dozens of estates, titles, medals, etc, what does that matter in the end though? Tell me, how much land do you have in ANL?"

<Zeltzin> "Well, I only own my house. When my father dies, I will get half of his farm land, my brother will get the other half."

(Henry) "You know this is a quite large estate I have here, quite large for just one person, you know?"

<Zeltzin> "Yes, it is indeed large."

(Henry) "Do you like the houses here and all, the atmosphere, the decorating?"

<Zeltzin> "The houses I have been in seem very nice. Also, all the art in the nation makes it feel like home."

(Henry) "So would you like to stay here with me then? I mean even after father gets back into his duties and allows us to come and go. I mean stay here in Mississippi with me? We could go to ANL if you'd feel safer there."

<Zeltzin> "Well, I feel safe with you. However, I still have some duties to take care of in the ANL, so maybe if your father gets well, I can take care of those and we can travel in between the two."

(Henry) "That sounds good, perhaps you could be the new ambassador at the ANL embassy in our capital?"

<Zeltzin> "That sounds good, very good."

Henry started to shake and was visibly nervous, he took out a cigar and lit it up, smoking seemed to calm him, and he then took a quick swig from a flask of liquor. Zeltzin wondered why he was so nervous.

<Zeltzin> "Henry, what are you nervous about?"

(Henry) (Inhaling on his cigar and then exhaling, trying to calm himself) "I want to ask you something, and I'm nervous about it. One minute." He forces his breathing back under control and stops shaking

(Henry) "I'd like to ask you to marry me." He was visibly very nervous and was sweating bullets down his face; large circles of perspiration had formed under his arms and drenched his shirt.

<Zeltzin> "Well, you have nothing to be nervous about. Of course I will."

He immediately stopped breathing so hard and she could see he could barely contain his joy, as his face was wide with a smile. He jumped out of his chair and shouted, "That's great!" He then took her in his arms and kissed her.

About that time, Major Bock came walking back in and saw them kissing, he chuckled, "Well, why don't you two get a room!"

Henry gently sat Zeltzin back down in her chair then turned to face Bock, "Bock why don't you get out of here, aren't there children you should be stealing candy from?"

(Bock) (Laughing cynically) "Oh I took care of that yesterday!"

(Bock) "Well Zeltzin, what are you two doing? Are you trying to get out of more trouble by fucking the Premier's son, does he know you're a spy?"

(Henry) (Pulling out a pistol) "Bock, I'm going to shoot you if you say another word to her other than an apology."

(Bock) (Laughing) "There are thousands of guards outside!"

(Henry) "Maybe so, but they're under orders only to keep me here, not to kill me, I've checked their orders through connections I have."

(Bock) "Well then, I apologize to your whore."

Henry flew into a rage, and out of nowhere, like a man possessed, he started shooting the pistol and Bock immediately dove for cover. Henry fired six rounds at Bock who dove behind a couch. The couch was popped full of holes and feathers were flying everywhere by the time Henry was done shooting.

Bock raised his hands in the air and said, "Okay I give I'm sorry, don't shoot me!"

Zeltzin was quiet. She leaned over and said "Good shot."

There were duck feathers floating around in the air from the pillows that had been hit in the shooting, Bock stood up, with his hands in the air, he had been hit in the chest, but his body armor saved him. He walked a few feet towards Henry, his arms still in the air, and calmly said, "No hard feelings right?"

Henry nodded his head and said, "Sure, just one thing"

(Bock) "What is that?"

Henry quickly took aim and shoot Bock in the kneecap, he collapsed to the ground, clutching his knee, screaming, "Oh God you shot me, you bastard!"

(Henry) "Remember me when you limp around."

Bock was crying now, and kicking around the ground, "You bastard! You shot me! Oh God!"

Some guards had rushed into the house, and asked what happened, Henry said, "The damn thing just went off... Funny how guns do that sometimes, they just go off, like people spouting their mouths off."

Bock was crying like a baby and clutching his knee, still screaming, "You bastard!" The guards just shrugged their shoulders and lifted him up to carry him outside to a medic.

After they left, Zeltzin laughed. "He deserved it."

(Henry) (As he holstered his pistol) "That man was really unpleasant!"

(Henry) "Well at least if he comes back, he'll be crawling back, literally!"

<Zeltzin> "Maybe he'll have a bit more respect."

(Henry) (Smiling) "Well he needs to learn the proper way to talk to a lady, he'll have plenty of time to read proper etiquette manuals while he is in bed resting his leg."

<Zeltzin> "He's just a jerk."

(Henry) "Well he needed to reminded his attitude isn't appreciated, I'd given him plenty of fair warning earlier, but he just kept at it."

(Henry) "Well what do you want to do now? Go outside for a while? Do you like to fish?"

<Zeltzin> "I actually have never been fishing."

(Henry) "Well there is a first time for everything yes?"

<Zeltzin> "Agreed."

(Henry) "So shall we go fishing then?"

<Zeltzin> "Why not?"

Henry walks off the weapons room, and returns with a box of dynamite, hand grenades, detonators, and two M-16A2 rifles and a few dozen magazines. He sets them all down on a table and says, "Well, let's gear up!"

<Zeltzin> "Whoa, those fish stand no chance now."

(Henry) "Isn't this how people fish in your nation?"

<Zeltzin> "Maybe for target practice, but, most fishermen use more traditional methods."

(Henry) "You mean muskets?"

<Zeltzin> "Heh, I wouldn't know anyways, I haven't fished yet, so, lets go."

He handed her a rifle and a few dozen sticks of dynamite and a few dozen grenades, then he took a similar amount. He led her out to a golf car behind the mansion. It was a twenty-minute ride to the "Fishing Lake”, she got to see the best parts of the gardens of his estate, very excellently maintained. They stopped at the lake.

(Henry) "See those bubbles over there, a pack of fish", he tossed a grenade into the water, a few seconds later, and the water blew into a air in massive streams, and about 8 fish floated to the top of the water.

(Henry) (Pointing to a section of the lake) "Here, you throw a stick of dynamite in that direction."

Zeltzin got a stick of dynamite, lit it and threw it towards the section Henry pointed to. She wasn't sure if it went all the way, but she waited for it to explode."

About 24 fish floated to the top of the lake.

(Henry) "Good aim!"

<Zeltzin> "Thank you. I wasn't expecting to get that many."

(Henry) "Well we've already gotten enough fish and we've only been here a few minutes. What say we collect the fish we've gotten and then head back, we don't want to over fish the lake."

<Zeltzin> "Sounds good."

Henry walked to a nearby boat covered by camouflage netting, it was a small boat, he took out the oars and pushed the boat into the water, "Do you want to come out on the lake, help me get the fish

<Zeltzin> "Sure, I would like to do that."

They both got into the boat, he started to row towards the first group of dead fish, floating on top of the water, he got scooped them up with a net easily enough. Then on towards the second group, he leaned over to get them and then fell out of the boat, he was treading water and was soaking wet, and Zeltzin couldn't help but laugh.

(Henry) "Well now look what's happened."

<Zeltzin> "Do you need help back up?"

(Henry) "Why don't you jump in, water is fine, come on."

<Zeltzin> "Alright!" She slides off the edge of the boat. The water was nice.

Henry took his boots and pants off and tossed them into the boat.

She was surprised how clean the lake was, there were collections of slime on the surface, the bottom was kept clean also, the fish were fed daily by groundskeepers.

<Zeltzin> "Is this lake natural?"

(Henry) "No, no it's not, the bottom is actually cement, but covered with artificial landscaping."

<Zeltzin> "It looks great."

(Henry) (Smiling) "Not as great as you though."

<Zeltzin> "Ahh, thanks." She goes over and kisses him."

Henry hugs her and kisses her back, "Well would you like to keep swimming?"

<Zeltzin> "If there is nothing else more pressing, sure, swimming sounds good."

Henry starts to swim out into the center of the lake, Zeltzin is watching the shore, a guard is walking by, very cautiously, stealthily, he is look at Henry, he is trying to get his attention without attracting the attention of anybody else who may be near.

(Guard) (In a muted shout) "Henry! Henry!"

Henry was too far away to hear him, but Zeltzin heard him just fine.

Zeltzin looked to the guard "Do you want me to get him for you?" He nodded his head.

Zeltzin looked over to Henry and called out "Henry, one of the guards wants you." She begins to swim towards Henry."

Henry turned and said, "What, he wants to speak to me?"

<Zeltzin> "Yeah, he's calling for you."

Henry swam over to the side of the lake where the guard was, the guard leaned down as though to tie his shoe and said, "Sir, I've been instructed by your friends on the outside to get any messages you need sent to them, to them. What do you need sent?"

Henry said only one sentence, "The ANL rogue general, have him killed, my friends will know how to get it done."

The guard nodded and stood back up quickly as other guards were walking by, he shouted, "Remember swine, you're confined to this estate! Don't attempt to leave!" The other guards chuckled and kept walking,

He then told Henry, "I'll get the word right out sir", then he turned and slowly walked away.

Henry swam back towards Zeltzin, "Well in a few days ANL will not be troubled by the rogue general, I've just seen it'll be taken care of."

<Zeltzin> "Thank you, Henry. He's a danger to everyone."

(Henry) "Which is why he must be stopped."

<Zeltzin> "How did Mississippi's government hear of his plans anyways?"

(Henry) "Roger has connections with him, Roger is the one sending the mercenaries in."

(Henry) "Roger and the high party officials have spies in every nation you could think of, and they keep us well informed. So the Department of Internal Security Foreign Intelligence Branch and the Republican Guard Intelligence Services, along with Army Intelligence Operations, all probably knew about the general's plans, before the general himself even knew." (He said the last part with a laugh)

(Henry) "Well, now that the problem with the general is to be taken care of, what shall we do?"

<Zeltzin> "It doesn't surprise me that Mississippi has agents in every country. Are they acting as agents of Mississippi or as civilians?

(Henry) "Some of each."

(Henry) "So what now? Stay out here a while longer?"

<Zeltzin> "Let me do a bit more swimming and then we can go in."

(Henry) "Can I ask you something, what are your intelligence services like, are they anything like ours?"

<Zeltzin> "The AIA is a very well funded organization. It has secretly observed many conflicts and reports to the ANL about any possible competition, conflicts or allies. we have about 250,000 domestic agents, mainly focused around the borders and ports. The AIA also conducts inspections on all incoming cargo or passengers and conducts searches on all outgoing cargo or passengers. We also have several spy satellites and we too have many agents in different countries."

(Henry) "I mean are their methods the same, the interrogation methods and such."

<Zeltzin> "Oh, well, the AIA uses very different methods. Rather then using interrogation, we put agents inside potential enemy groups and get all the information we can. Then the agent will report back to command. It is rare for the AIA to interrogate, but it has happened. They primarily focus on psychological interrogation. However, I've never been to one, so I wouldn't know all the tactics."

(Henry) "Well you wouldn't like to see how the DIS, the RG, and the Army Intelligence interrogate people, it's not pleasant, not at all."

<Zeltzin> "Yeah, I'm not part of the interrogation process. Only a few top agents are allowed to conduct them, but it is very secret and they are hardly heard of."

(Henry) "Here basically any operatives who want to get to conduct interrogation, and afterwards, there is almost always blood to be washed off tables, walls, and floors, etc. They often use clubs, hammers, screw drivers, electrodes hooked up to certain body parts, such awful things."

(Henry) "I think most of the intelligence operatives here are probably sadists."

<Zeltzin> "Wow, if that happened in the ANL, the agent would have been imprisioned."

(Henry) "It is also accepted in the intelligence community here, if say a man isn't talking, and he has female relatives, they'll drag them into the intelligence center and do things to them while forcing the man to watch. It's brutal."

<Zeltzin> "As I told you before, the AIA is wanting to open up a more covert organization to crack down on internal threats. I am sure they would be a lot more authoritarian.”

<Zeltzin> "There was an incident during our civil war when agents would go out of our waters and conduct unauthorized interrogations that were unregulated. They were all fired, but still, many of the people they interrogated died."

(Henry) "That is awful. Few people in our nation die in interrogation, but many are harmed very badly."

<Zeltzin> "Some of the agents are serving jail terms for 2nd degree murder."

Henry just smiled and quietly said, "Well how about we move on to other more pleasant topics?" as he was talking, he tossed his underwear off to the side; he had just taken them off. He smiled, "Well... Do you want to?"

<Zeltzin> (Putting her arms around Henry's neck) "Sure."

Henry helped her get her pants off. She thought it would be awkward to have sex in the middle of a lake, but she wrapped her legs around Henry and the moved to a shallower area where he could touch the bottom, and he was quite tall as well, about 6'3. After about 15 minutes, it was over, and Henry was clearly exhausted, he fell into the water and floated on his back, trying to catch his breath.

He chuckled and said, "Ah Zeltzin, you wore me out."

He then said in an obviously joking voice, "I'll sleep here for a while, then we'll go back to the house".

Zeltzin rested in the water for a bit. She then put on her clothing and rested on the shore of the artificial lake.

Henry swam around the lake for a few minutes more, the lake was easily 1,000 feet across, but he swam it very quickly. He started at one side of the lake, and then went under the water and began to swim across to the other side, it had been over 3 minutes and Zeltzin hadn't seen anything, no sign of him, she was starting to worry.

About 60 seconds later, he shot up on the opposite side of the lake, breathing hard, he shouted, "Takes a long time to get up to holding your breath that long!"

She wanted to yell at him for his showing off.

Zeltzin looked at him and said "Damn it, you scared me for a couple of seconds." She then added, "How long have you been practicing holding your breath?"
(Henry) "Oh for about six years probably."

Henry swam to the shore where Zeltzin was, he was a swift swimmer, and he covered the distance like it was nothing. He stepped out of the water totally nude, and then embarrassingly said, "I couldn't find my pants, I thought I tossed them in the boat, they weren't there."

<Zeltzin> (Laughing) "Probably in the bottom of the lake. The fish will make them into a new home."

(Henry) "It's an almost twenty minute ride in the golf-cart back to the house."

<Zeltzin> "Hopefully, you won't get sunburned."

A guard was walking by at about that time, casually whistling some drinking tune, he looked at Henry and started to laugh, "Isn't it a little late in the year for running around with no pants on?"

(Henry) "Don't you have a job to do?"

The guard nodded and then walked away, continuing to whistle.

(Henry) "Well Zeltzin, shall we go?"

<Zeltzin> (Yawning) "Sure, let's go."

Henry got into the golf cart, and said aloud, "I wonder if I could have ordered that guard to give me his pants?"

He went to start the golf cart, but it just choked out a few noises and then nothing.

(Henry) "Well this is lovely, it's over an hour walk to the house."

<Zeltzin> "Hmm, is it electric or gasoline?"

(Henry) "Electric."

<Zeltzin> "Probably one of the drive motors are burned out. Either that or the battery is dead. Well, maybe we can tell the guards to pick us up. Either that or we have a lot of walking to do."

(Henry) "Well we'd better start walking."

<Zeltzin> "You lead the way."

(Henry) "You're not too tired to walk are you?"

<Zeltzin> "Well, if we want to get to the house, we have no other choice."

(Henry) (Patting his back) "Hop up."

<Zeltzin> "Oh, ok." She hops up. "If you get tired, you can put me down."

She knew he'd been shot in the back several months ago, and that he probably had back pain as a result, but he insisted and she didn't want to make him feel weak, so she accepted.

(Henry) "Oh don't worry, I won't get tired."

Henry started to walk off down the road, he was barefoot and the pavement was rough on his feet, but at least it wasn't rough dirt or rocks.

She saw the mark on his back, where they'd taken the bullet out, it was in the middle to lower part of his back, she wondered if she should ask him about it.

She'd hadn't thought about why she'd not asked him about it earlier, all she knew was he'd been shot, she didn't really know the details behind him. She decided it wouldn't hurt to ask.

<Zeltzin> "Henry, how did you get shot?"

(Henry) "Oh some lunatic with a high powered rifle decided he'd get attention for his political cause by taking a few shots at me. Fortunately for me, most of them missed, unfortunately for me, one of them didn't. It was a 308 rifle if I remember correctly."

<Zeltzin> "I'm glad most missed."

(Henry) (Smiling) "So am I."

(Henry) "You've never been shot have you?"

<Zeltzin> "No, I've been lucky."

(Henry) "I hope you stay lucky, but don't worry, I'll protect you now, nothing will happen."

As he was carrying her on his back, still naked, a guard walked by and laughed, saying, "The mighty Henry Fabus, the slave of a woman!" as he made a whipping sound.

Zeltzin thought was somewhat funny. Henry also laughed as well.

After they got a little further down the path, to where it split off in three directions, each one ultimately leading back to the house, but a different way, Henry said, "Well master, which way now?"

<Zeltzin> "Henry, how about we take the third path?"

(Henry) "Yes ma'am", he said, as he walked off down the third path, then he jokingly said, "If I don't do what you say, you ride me hard, but if I do what you say, you ride me hard in the good way." She found his sense of humor quite amusing.

<Zeltzin> (Laughing) "Ahh Henry, you learn so quickly."

It was getting colder out, and she could tell that Henry was secretly cursing himself for losing his pants, up ahead was a guard. Henry asked Zeltzin, "Do you mind if I set you down for a second?"

<Zeltzin> "No, not at all."

He gently set her down and then walked up to the guard.

(Guard) (Trying not to look down) "How are you today Mr. Fabus?"

(Henry) "I'm fine, say how would you like to rent me your pants?"

(Guard) "Why I'd get punished for being out of uniform, I would."

(Henry) "Well how about your coat, 10,000 dollars for your coat, just loan it to me and come pick it up later today whenever you want."

The guard jumped at the idea and took off his coat and handed it to Henry. Henry put the coat on and then said, "Okay, don't forget come by later and I'll give you the money and the coat."

(Guard) "Oh I won't forget sir."

Henry patted his back again and Zeltzin jumped back up. The guard smiled and held back a laugh, but then he spoke up, "Excuse me ma'am... How'd you get him to do that? I mean how long did it take you to get him to do that?"

Looking at the guard, Zeltzin said "Ahh, if you get him the right way, he'll do anything."

The guard laughed and said, "So you've turned one of the Premier's sons into your personal transportation!"

<Zeltzin> "You could say that."

The guard quietly spoke in a voice just above a whisper and said, "Well speaking of transportation, that mean Major Bock is going to need to be carried around for a while, somebody finally shot him... Don't tell anybody I said this, but he was probably asking for it, whatever happened and whoever shot him."

(Henry) "That would be me, the one who shot him."

(Guard) (To Zeltzin) "Was it something Bock said to you that got him shot?"

<Zeltzin> "Yeah, Major Bock kept on insulting me and being rude, but Henry took care of him."

(Henry) "What can I say, all in a day's work. Well the ma'am, shall we be moving along?"

<Zeltzin> "Yep, let's continue, shall we?"

(Henry) "Very well then."

He starts to slowly walk off down the path as he quickly turned his head and nodded at the guard, his way of saying goodbye. The guard waved and moved his head.

<Zeltzin> (To the guard) "Nice meeting you."

The guard gave a sincere, "Likewise", and then stepped back to his post off the side of the path.

After they got a little ways down the path, Henry laughingly said, "You sure have an easy time on our walks don't you? Getting to enjoy the scenery without ever moving an inch."

<Zeltzin> "Well, I could walk on my own, but it's more fun this way."

(Henry) "I agree."

<Zeltzin> "Henry, on a more serious matter, you know how you want to marry me. Well, I need to tell you something if it gives you peace of mind. When I met your father, he said he would give us our blessings if we were to get married."

(Henry) "He did, that's great!"

<Zeltzin> "Yes, he did tell me that."

(Henry) "I figured he would have objected, because he generally doesn't like foreigners."

(Henry) "That's great though, because I really didn't want to have to deal with being not on speaking with terms with him. Because I intend to marry you regardless of his approval or not, but him giving the approval, that's just great!"

<Zeltzin> "Now only if you could meet my father. I know he would approve, but, he would still like to meet you.

(Henry) "Well I think we can be out of here in a while if I can just get Roger to take my calls. If father finds out that Roger was the one who is keeping me here, he may very well have Roger tossed in jail for a few months."

(Henry) "Father can be a very brutal man, he widowed both of my sisters."

<Zeltzin> "Really, what happened?"

(Henry) "Their husbands were middle class men, the sons of minor nobles, they obviously married well. They were both given important jobs in military intelligence. They defected, left Mississippi, fled to a communist nation, and gave a full report on our chemical and biological stockpiles. A few months later, father told them to come back and he assured them it was all water under the bridge. They came back, within about two hours of their entering Mississippi, they were tried, convicted, and shot."

(Henry) "That's not the worst of it. My sister Victoria is 18 and she has a son and daughter. My sister Eleanor is 21 and has two sons and one daughter."

<Zeltzin> "How is the Premier treating them?"

(Henry) "Fine, they're fine. His problem was only with his two son-in-laws who betrayed the nation and him.”

Zeltzin was nervous now. She knew if she were to get back to the ANL, the AIA would want her to reveal any information about Mississippi's WMD program.

<Zeltzin> "How long ago was this?"

(Henry) "About nine months ago, at the most, maybe eight."

(Henry) "Father stated publicly that quote, "Any who are trusted with our nation's secrets and betray them to any foreign power or domestic opposition, must know that the penalty is death. Those who raise a hand against the regime and the state, must know the penalty is certain death", end quote. I think he got the point across."

<Zeltzin> "Obviously."

(Henry) "He had them buried face down and their tombstones read, "Here lies a treacherous swine". Pretty vengeful eh?"

<Zeltzin> "Sounds like it. But they did wrong too."

(Henry) "Yes but he did promise them amnesty and forgiveness if they returned. The only time he's really ever broken his word was by giving them death instead."

<Zeltzin> "True."

(Henry) "Gregory and Edward, those were their names."

<Zeltzin> "Where are they buried?"

(Henry) "In the military cemetery outside Jackson City. Father is considering granting them posthumous pardons and taking down the "traitor" remarks on their graves.

<Zeltzin> "I doubt it would happen under Roger."

(Henry) "Roger said their bones should be dug up and dragged around town and then fed to the wolves."

<Zeltzin> "Yup, sounds like Roger alright."

(Henry) "He told me if I ever dare do anything against the regime, he’d personally put a bullet between my eyes."

<Zeltzin> "Hate to think what he would do to me."

(Henry) "Roger isn't a really bad guy overall, he's just very dedicated to his beliefs, and anything or anybody that he feels is a threat... Well he neutralizes the threat. During my brief reign, you remember I legalized the opposition party to the Premier and released 2 million political prisoners, I've heard that Roger has banned the party and arrested 4 million people in just 24 hours."

<Zeltzin> "Sounds like a very zealous person."

(Henry) "He believes the way to respond to calls for change is to silence those making the calls. Either jail them, beat them into submission, terrorize them other ways, and as a last resort, kill them.”

(Henry) "How would you stop calls for change?"

<Zeltzin> "Well, in a democratic society, you can't stop calls for change. You can only use propaganda and slime tactics to destroy the messenger. It depends on what type of change they want. If they are calling for a bloody and pointless revolution, then they must be stopped. However, if the organizers want change through a peaceful democratic process, then why not let it through. There is always the chance of prevailing and even more then that, you have to do what is right for the people."


(Henry) "Yes but the people voted over a decade and a half ago to make father dictator for life. It won by over 90% of the vote."

<Zeltzin> "Then I guess they should get what they want. However, what should happen after your father dies? There is no mandate to follow."

(Henry) "Roger thinks that after father dies, it is only right that he be made ruler."

(Henry) "The way father goes about things, he'll outlive us all, you watch, father will die an old man well passed 100."

(Henry) "Anyway, they are going to crown father as Czar soon, and make him the monarch, and his sons become princes. I'll be Prince Henry Fabus... Yet another title that affords me little, for Roger is younger than both myself and my older brother George, yet he is to be the first in line for the throne."

(Henry) "Although on the plus side, it'll make you a princess, although I intend to treat you more like a queen." She could tell he was smiling while he was saying the last part.

<Zeltzin> "You already do."

(Henry) "You could say that. But it's nothing I don't enjoy, and it's nothing you don't deserve."

(Henry) "Do you think the situation in your nation will be resolved when the general is killed? Or will another just take his place? I know Roger, he'll keep the mercenaries in there to fight on as long as there is a reason to fight on."

<Zeltzin> "It depends. The situation could be resolved if the ANL government crushes the rebellion. However, if the government does nothing, it seems more then likely it will live on and take hold of the nation.

(Henry) "Roger would be prepared to send in the entire Christian Martyrs Brigade of over 5 million militants with armed forces training, and the 1.5 million mercenaries of the Mississippian Private Military Conglomerate. If he thinks he can achieve his goals that is."

<Zeltzin> "Well, once we get back to the house, I want to see the news channels to see what is going on in my nation."

(Henry) "Roger has a plan for ANL, rather typical for him."

(Henry) "He wants to turn all of Mexico into a massive farm for colonists and for those mexicans who are 100% spanish, they will be the ruling class. He plans to make anybody who isn't 100% european, be a slave on the farms and in the mines. See that is contrary to our laws, our laws define as white, any person who is at least 15/16ths European. About 93.75% or higher, and they legally qualify as white."

When Zeltzin heard this, she was startled because she was about 4% below the cutoff.

<Zeltzin> "Henry, you know I am just bellow the cut off. And even more then that, only 2% of the population is pure European."

(Henry) "Yes, I suspected you were slightly below the cutoff, but it doesn't really matter. Most people here can tell somebody who is 1/8 non-European, any some can even tell who is 1/16 non-European, but not most. Most people will accept you as white if you look white, think white, and act white. Here that means right wing Christianity and tough against communism. Anyway, your 1/10 non-European is not Africa or Jewish, so most probably wouldn't raise any issues even if they found out."

(Henry) "You say only 2% of your nation is 100% European? Two percent will be enough for Roger to have his terrorist thugs in the CMB declare a crusade."

<Zeltzin> "You know the people of the ANL will fight like mad to prevent them from being enslaved."

(Henry) "Roger's goal is to unite all whites, especially English speaking whites. He calls it the English People's Plan."

(Henry) "Oh yes, I know they'll fought. As we here in Mississippi would fight if a foreign power attempted to exert control over us. But Roger doesn't care about resistance, he'll use any methods he has to crush opposition."

(Henry) "Doesn't your nation have any chemical, biological, or nuclear weaponry?"

<Zeltzin> "To be truthful Henry, the ANL has no nuclear capability, nor does it have any chemical or biological weapons. The most we have is a missile defense system and several allies with WMD capabilities."

(Henry) "I could always challenge Roger to a duel and kill or wound him, if he was dead he'd obviously be no threat. If he was wounded he'd have to step down as Acting Premier."

(Henry) "But then I fear I would be as Cain, the murderer of my brother."

<Zeltzin> "And honestly Henry, I would never want you to kill your own brother. There would be too many repercussions."

(Henry) "What Roger's problem is, he has never been good around women. He is far too shy, and he has never even been on a date once, he needs to find himself a good woman and then he'll probably calm down a great deal."

<Zeltzin> "Interesting theory, but I don't know how that will help."

(Henry) "Well I think the reason he is so aggressive and warmongering, is he has low self-esteem, so he puts on the image he is tough and mean so people don't know. If he was able to get himself a good woman, that'd surely boost his image of himself, and I'm sure she'd be able to have a positive impact on him."

<Zeltzin> "Plus, I'm sure he would be less aggressive if he had his own family."

(Henry) "Yes, having your own children suddenly makes the idea of nuclear warfare less attractive."

(Henry) "You know we have bunkers in our nation and commonwealth nations for approximately 1 billion civilians. That is great, unless you are one of the over 200 million outside!"

<Zeltzin> "I know the ANL has a large underground bunker and tunnel network in the case of nuclear disaster or WMD warfare. It's been developing since my nation's beginning and it seems like it would be able to fit everyone."

(Henry) "There are actually some generals and field marshals who think we should launch first strikes against our enemies because most of our people would survive the retaliatory strikes. Field Marshal Francisco Salazar and Propaganda Minister Joseph Mladic are the two most vocal of the "First strike" faction in the inner circle of the regime. Mladic once said quote, "Why are we waiting, let's kill them all now! Tell the whites to come to Mississippi for a while, and then when they get here, we can wipe Mexico off the face of the Earth." end quote. Needless to say, I told Mladic to shut up."

<Zeltzin> "It's disturbing to see such hawkish people in the government."

<Zeltzin> "It's disturbing to see such hawkish people in the government."

(Henry) "During a rebellion going on in Tennessee, Salazar wanted to use chemical weapons. Another general said the world wouldn’t stand for such actions. Well, Salazar said, quote, "I will kill them all with chemical weapons! Who is going to say anything? The international community? Fuck them! The international community, and those who listen to them!" end quote."

<Zeltzin> "What about that faction that is against going to war?"

(Henry) "The Navarre faction, with Field Marshal Bertrand Navarre and Field Marshal Wilhelm Ernst, two of my father's friend since his childhood, he grew up with them, went to high school with them, and was in the paratroopers with Navarre. He respects them greatly. Also Fritz Ernst and Alfred Speer are in the anti-war faction, they are both involved in finance and economics for the government."

<Zeltzin> "So if there was a war or whatever, they control the money flow for it."

(Henry) "Oh no, the army is not affected by politicians attempting to control money. The Premier says how much the army receives; they receive it, no questions, and no debates. The economics minister just tells father if the budget is a good idea."

<Zeltzin> "Oh, I see. The Premier can just dismiss a argument if he wishes."

(Henry) "Yes. But he listens carefully to Navarre and to Wilhelm and Fritz Ernst. They are all a close group of friends. Also the Premier is very respectful of Field Marshal Reginald Smith, a warmonger though."

(Henry) "Alfred Speer is nicknamed "The Money Man", because he is so smart with money matters, they measured his IQ at 188. Now Fritz Ernst, they call him "The Calculator", they measured his IQ at 191."

<Zeltzin> "Funny how the cooler heads of government tend to be the smartest."

(Henry) "Yes, well Mladic is ranked at about 153 IQ, very smart, genius even, but not nearly an Ernst or a Speer."

They finally see the house, about 2,000 feet away. Henry is quite visibly excited, "We're almost there!"

<Zeltzin> "Well, this has been an enjoyable walk."

(Henry) "Yes it has."

(Henry) "Infinitely more enjoyable with you here."

<Zeltzin> "I'm glad to hear you say that.”

Henry seemed worried about something though, as though something was bothering him, she wondered what it was that troubled him so.

(Henry) (Sighing) "It's Roger, he wants war, he wants to be able to take the credit for winning CM a great victory in war. He is going to be eager to attack anybody he thinks we can win easily against."

<Zeltzin> "Honestly, Henry, although the ANL looks like a very easy target, we are not. Do you want me to tell you a bit about our military?"

(Henry) "Please do. But know that I have read your budget allocations, we spend almost 5 times as much on our armed forces."

<Zeltzin> "I know our spending is geared more towards social welfare.

"Our regular army, the Red Guardsmen has about 2,500,000 on-duty soldiers in several bases in the country, averaging around 3 per state. They are trained in hand-to-hand combat, long-range combat, fighting under chemical or biological attack with NBC suits. In addition, they are very well trained, with a basic infantryman spending 4 years in training. Other specialists spend more time on training."

(Henry) "Well see, our soldiers start training around age 8 to 12, and we have over 18 million soldiers in our regular army, and about 2 million in the Republican Guard elite units, we also can call on over 6 million Commonwealth Soldiers. That is just the army. We have a navy over 3,000 ships strong. And an air force over 80,000 fixed wing aircraft."

(Henry) "The Republican Guard candidates have to go through 11 months of super intensive training in addition to readying since youth. The last 3 days of the 11 months, they are taken 100 miles out into the desert, give 2 liters of water, and 3 rations of food, and forced to march or die."

(Henry) "They have to get their own food and water after their supply runs out, it is some of the best survival training we have. The officers even ride by in jeeps and taunt them, club them, and dump water in the sand to drive them mad."

<Zeltzin> "It does seem we have an weaker military after all. In addition to our regular army, our special elite team, the Jaguar Warrior Infantrymen, or JWIs, have about 1,000,000 members as acceptance and training is very rigorous and selective. Our air force has about 55,000 aircraft in total and our Navy operates about 2,250 ships, mostly heavy cruisers."

(Henry) "Well I don't think there will be any war, Roger won't be foolish enough to bog down a large part of our army."

(Henry) "I am very proud of our u-boat fleet, the number of SeaWolf class attack submarines we have should now be about 372."

(Henry) "The total number of submarines is around 700."

(Henry) "About 150 are nuclear missile submarines."

<Zeltzin> "Damn. That's enough to destroy the world many times over."

(Henry) "Yes, I hope they never are used, but we have them if we need them."

(Henry) "My dream is to build a fleet of at least 200 battleships. We already have over 2,000 frigates, cruisers, and destroyers, and over 80 battleships. But battleships are the kings of the seas, along with carriers."

(Henry) "Perhaps someday, our two nations will be allied?"

<Zeltzin> "Perhaps. It would be a nice day if that were the case, but considering the political differences between the ANL and Mississippi, it would take a lot to bring our nations together."

(Henry) "Yes, but we can always hope."

<Zeltzin> "Without hope, what could we strive for?"

(Henry) "I don't know, but right now I'm hoping that Roger listens to Navarre and doesn't do anything stupid."

<Zeltzin> "I hope so too or a lot of people are going to die."

Henry walked up the stairs to the back entrance of the mansion, the doors were all opened. They walked inside and through the back rooms and hallways towards the front.

Zeltzin was still on Henry's back when she was shocked to see Major Bock sitting in a chair, holding a pistol in his hand, he had a pair of crutches by his side and his left knee was bandaged. He laughed and said; "Why don't you two sit down and join me!" he pointed the pistol at two seats across from him.

Zeltzin slowly slid off of Henry's back and then sat down, Henry did likewise. Bock laughed, "Good! You two aren't stupid are you?"

(Bock) "You know Zeltzin, we never did have time to get better acquainted back at the river, something I regret, and maybe we should do that now."

Henry jumped from his seat and shouted, "You touch her and I'll tear your throat out!" Bock cocked the hammer on his pistol and said, "Sit back down before you get yourself hurt!"

<Zeltzin> "What do you want to know?"

(Bock) "Oh well I'm sure you don't think I actually have questions for you. See you need to learn to read between the lines, better acquainted doesn't mean I'm going ask you twenty questions, or some other shit. It means you're going to lay down, spread your legs, and enjoy the ride."

Henry shot up from his seat again and Bock had to raise his pistol again, "Ah, ah, sit back down!"

(Bock) "Oh Henry, poor stupid Henry, think you can make me a cripple eh? Kneecapping me was something you two probably laughed about eh! Well now look where you are!"

<Zeltzin> "You son of a bitch! You are not going to do anything to me."

(Bock) "What a shame. Okay which one of you wants shot first?"

A guard came to the door and knocked, Bock turned to look and shouted, "Go away!" Henry knew there wouldn't be time to rush him, but he slid his hand under the cushion of the chair and took out a switchblade, he passed it quickly to Zeltzin, who tucked it in her pocket.

Bock turned back and looked at them both, pistol still raised, "Well what will it be?"

(Bock) "Well Zeltzin, will you be joining me in the other room then?"

<Zeltzin> "Alright, I'll do it, shall we go?"

(Bock) "Upstairs, on his bed!"

<Zeltzin> "Ok. Sorry Henry." She was sounding sorry about it. She got up and walked upstairs.

He motioned with his gun for her to walk up the stairs; he walked up to Henry and pistol-whipped him over the head, knocking him out unconscious.

Zeltzin looked at Henry and was thinking 'Now I really do want to kill him."

Bock then pushed her forward and into the room, he threw her onto the bed, turned locked the door, and then turned back, keeping his gun trained on her, he shouted, "pants off!"

Quickly, Zeltzin took off her clothing. She went to scratch her back, and hid the knife under it, waiting for the right moment.

Bock motioned with his gun and spoke, "Lose the panties... Now!"

Again, Zeltzin complied. In her, all of her anger was beginning to build up. How much she wanted to plunge the knife into to Major Bock.

Bock smiled and whistled, "What a sight eh?"

(Bock) (Motioning with his gun) "Lie down."

She lied down, waiting. She knew what she had to do.

(Bock) (Starting to take his pants off, still keeping the gun aimed at her, he finishes taking his pants off) "No! Roll over, face in the pillow!"

Although reeling in her mind, she didn't have much of a choice. All the more sweeter when she would be able to at least injure him. She turned over, expecting the worst.

He slowly walked over to her and get the gun trained on her, he picked up the pile of her clothing she had on the bed and tossed it aside, her knife was in the pile. He then pulled her hands up to he headboard and handcuffed them to it with his pair of military handcuffs.

In her mind Zeltzin was shouting 'Oh son of a bitch!'

The Major straddled her and said, "You ready?"

<Zeltzin> "Yeah, as ready as I'll be." She was completely unenthusiastic.

He lifted her up slightly and slowly slid into her, he started to thrust rapidly like it was a race, while he was doing this, Henry regained consciousness downstairs and he rushed to the nearby gunroom. He had no idea where the keys were; he used his elbow to smash the case and took out a loaded M-14 rifle. He rushed up the stairs and with one kick brought the down in, Bock tried to grab his pistol he had set down, but Zeltzin kicked him and then Henry shot Bock in the chest with the rifle.

<Zeltzin> "Yeah, I'm fine. Henry, I'm sorry, he threw the knife away in a pile of clothing.

(Henry) "Zeltzin dear, would you leave the room for a minute?"

<Zeltzin> "If you are going to kill him, can I first do something?"

Bock was leaning against a clothing drawer, choking out some words, while spitting up blood, "Don't do it, please Henry, don't do it, you're not a killer!"

(Henry) "Okay, do what you want to him!"

Zeltzin looked at him and said "I've been wanting to do this for a long time and gave him a kick into the crotch. She then slapped him hard across the face. After that, she got her clothing and said, "I'll be putting on my clothing."

(Henry) "What do you want me to do with him?"

Bock was on the floor, he'd collapsed when she kicked him, he was clutching his chest and trying to keep from coughing up blood.

Zeltzin looked at Bock, injured and obvioulsy humiliated and asked Henry "Should we get him help or no?"

Henry picked up Bock's pistol, and stuck it inside his mouth, "Should I put him out of everybody's misery? Or let him live?"

Bock was struggling to say, "Mercy! Please!"

<Zeltzin> (To Bock) "If we let you live, you better not mess with us again, you hear?"

(Henry) "I'm willing to kill him regardless, just say the word, the thought of what he did to you. I say we kill him."

(Bock) (Coughing up blood) "No! No! Please, I'll leave the country... Forever!"

<Zeltzin> "What will the guards do if we kill him."

(Henry) "They will probably agree with me that he deserved it."

<Zeltzin> "I don't feel like killing him. How about we just humiliate him and force him out there, nude? If you wish to, though, you can kill him."

(Henry) "Well if you don't want him dead... I won't kill him, but he doesn't need to walk anymore!" With that, he shot him in the other kneecap, Bock screamed in pain. Then Henry shot him in both the shins, and then shot both his feet. Bock was begging, "No more, please, no more!"

<Zeltzin> "Alright, Henry, good job."

Zeltzin finished putting on her clothing and then went to meet up with Henry. She put her arm around her waist and said "I'm glad you caught him before he could do worse."

(Henry) "I'm sorry I let him get the drop on me, it's my fault this happened to you, forgive me."

<Zeltzin> "No, it's not your fault. You did nothing wrong. Bastards will be bastards. But if it gives you peace of mind, I'll accept the apology."

Henry took her in his arms and kissed her, then he set her down gently and said, "Do you need a doctor?"

<Zeltzin> "Oh no. I feel all right now. I would have needed one if it weren't for you coming in and stopping him."

They heard shouting outside on the porch, Bock was being dragged away on a stretcher, he was very bloody and he was cursing loudly.

The guards didn't even bother to come and talk to Henry about it, they knew Bock was an ass and probably had it coming.

Henry put his arms around Zeltzin and lifted her up to kiss her, and then he said, "Now what?"

<Zeltzin> "Right now, all I want to do is sleep."

(Henry) (Kissed her again and set her down gently on the bed) "Well you sleep, I'm going to arrange to get the carpet replaced and her and a new bed, I don't want you having to sleep on the same bed where he attacked you. You rest, I'll be right in the other room. You'll be okay." He set a pistol down for her on the drawer and then walked to the other room to make arrangements for various things.

<Zeltzin> "Thanks Henry."

He walked out and the phone rang as he was about to pick it up, he answered it, it was news from a contact, over a secure line, the ANL general was set to be killed in within two days, they had gotten a man on the inside to agree to take him out.

Security in Veracruz and the surrounding countryside is tight, after several assassinations and bombings. LRRA paratroops keep a tight watch, and in so doing capture many rebels with weapons on themselves, ready to carry out attacks.

Jaguar II attack jets prowl the skies, occasionally attacking concentrations of CM mercenaries. They are escorted by various ANL and LRRAF fighter aircraft, MiG-29s, MiG-21s, MiG-23s, and JA-37s as the major types.

In Magadan, the LRR government seriously considers declaring war on Communist Mississippi. The thinking goes that this could be the oppourtunity to bring the country down.

Meanwhile, in the basement of a port building in Veracruz, two CM mercenaries are held, locked in the damp makeshift cells. The LRRA paratroopers don't seem too interested in interrogating them, and food is brought in three times a day. On the whole, they aren't treated too badly, and besides being berated as disgusting, they have it pretty easy.

They might feel especially dishonored by their capture by the multiethnic LRRA.

The cellar door opens up, and a man wearing the insignia of a colonel walks in, flanked by six paratroopers armed with FN-90s. The Bangladeshi colonel looks over towards their position on the floor.

"Name, rank, and serial number, or the mercenary equivalent of the said?"

"Name, rank, and serial number, or the mercenary equivalent of the said?"


The first man spoke in an almost mechanical manner, rattling off the required information, "Donald Welch, Colonel, 194532A."

The second man then spoke, "Jack Thompson, Captain, 239874C."

"So, what brings you to the peaceful nation of Aztec National League? Hmm? What makes two people like you want to invade this peace loving country? Insanity? I would not rule that out. I just want you two to know that my men and I consider you two some of the most despicable human beings ever to populate this earth. But, unlike your own techniques, I will not let that interfere with my sanity. Now, you two are high ranks. I have a deal for you. You give us the rally points for your troops, and we won't punish you as harshly as we would normally."

The other paratroopers keep their SMGs trained on the mercenaries at the far end of the room. Any attempt to escape will, in all likelyhood, end in their grizzly deaths.

"So, what brings you to the peaceful nation of Aztec National League? Hmm? What makes two people like you want to invade this peace loving country? Insanity? I would not rule that out.

The colonel defiantly roar, "My regiment will rally for God and will smash the enemy wherever he shows his ugly face!"

The captain boldly shouted, "I have nothing to say to the likes of you!"

The colonel raises an eyebrow.

"Will they, now? And you, captain, do you have nothing to say to the likes of me? Why? Because I'm not white like you? See, arrogance and stupidity are not values my mother instilled in me. You are in this country illegally, and currently your forces are being bombed just about round-the-clock. If you would, perhaps, make them surrender, not so many would die. And colonel, your regiment has, no doubt, rallied for your perverted notion of god already."

The sound of LRRA rocket artillery can be heard.

"Is that your regiment? Listen...you may believe that your cause is righteous, but it is against international law. You are fighting against not one, but two nations twice your size. We could make it a lot more real fast. Now, unless you cooperate and get your illegal troops out of this country, you might not have one to go home to in the end."

CM rped the role of CM characters. ANL handled the role of ANL characters. Except when there were no CM characters at the time (in which case, CM handled Zeltzin, and ANL handled the other ANL character present at the time)

Azhultan waited at his small base within the jungle outside Veracruz. After the rash of terrorist attacks he had committed, it seemed like his coup was gaining strength. Certainly, the extra assistance from Mississippi's mercenaries would give him what could be a great victory.

He was waiting impatiently at the base, nervous about dealing with the Mississippians; this could make or break him.

It was about 5 o'clock in the afternoon when he would meet the mercenaries.

On of the base guards walked up to the two generals and said, "Who are you? Are you here for the General?"

(General 1) "Yes."

<Guard> "Alright then, please follow me."

The two men followed closely behind the guard, looking at their surroundings and taking in the scenery, mostly camo netting.

It wasn't a particularly fancy camp. The rebels had very little money to play with. However, it was well hidden, unlikely to find.

The guard took the Mercenary generals to General Azhultan, who was reading a book.

<Guard> "General Azhultan, the Mississippian Mercenary Generals are here to see you, sir."

They waited for the guard to leave, then one of them said, "We have reason to believe your life is in danger."

Azhultan turned around, surprised. He got up and said "Really? How so?"

(General 1) "I believe somebody is planning to assassinate you, possibly even today."

<Azhultan> "Today would be a bad day too. I have an underground rally today. Do you believe it is one of your men or one of mine?"

(General 2) "We have reports suggesting a man in our ranks is actually an operative working on the orders of a man in Mississippi who is against you, he is currently involved with a female agent of the AIA."

(General 2) "We have reports suggesting a man in our ranks is actually an operative working on the orders of a man in Mississippi who is against you, he is currently involved with a female agent of the AIA."

(General 1) "I believe her name is Zeltzin."

<Azhultan> "The name sounds familiar. I believe she is an intelligence advisor, to whom I can not remember."

(General 2) "I believe you worked with her years ago, she did a check into your background?"

<Azhultan> "Ahh, now I remember. Back during the Civil War. Ahh even though she knew I was a double agent, the dumb commie government didn't listen to her. Oh well, at least it got me in a high place for a while."

(General 1) "Should we have her killed?”

<Azhultan> "If you want to. I mean, she is a bit of a nuisance right now, but if my coup works, I would like to deal with her personally."

(General 2) "What will you do with her?"

<Azhultan> "Have her deported back to the ANL and make her a slave. Either that, or kill her right away, I mean, I'll eventually get around to doing that."

(General 2) "Ah, so she's good slave material eh?"

<Azhultan> "I would like you to know. However, in the event that I am killed before I can take power, then have her killed too."

(General 1) "We'll take care of it if need be."

<Azhultan> "God forbid, but you never know what will happen. So, do you know who is plotting to kill me or no?"

(General 1) "Not yet, but we know they are linked to the liberal Henry Fabus, the brother of Roger Fabus, your primary backer, the one who is paying for us to be here."

<Azhultan> "Ahh, so another liberal is on my ass. Great. First it was the ANL government, now it's the brother of my supporter. This should create an interesting family feud."

(General 1) "We could take care of this Henry character if you need."

(General 2) "We don't need to kill him, there is another way."

(General 2) "We kidnap this Zeltzin he is with, and only give her back to him when he stops supporting the ANL Government. Does this sound okay?"
<Azhultan> "If it helps your plans, go right ahead. I'm sure it would be beneficial to our cause if we didn't piss off Roger or Curtis Fabus."

<Azhultan> "That sounds like a brilliant plan."

(General 2) (To General 1) "Well if you kill Henry Fabus, I'm sure his father and brother will be very angry. Let's go with the kidnapping."

(General 1) "Agreed."

(General 2) "I figured you'd all agree to it, so I already had it set in motion."

<Azhultan> "Good."

Azhultan got up and grabbed a bottle of whiskey and poured some out for himself. He looked towards the mercenaries and asked, "Do you want any?"

About 5 hours ago in Mississippi, Zeltzin was sleeping and Henry was making telephone calls to arrange for all the details of the plans to be carried out to kill the general. He didn't hear the three men who came in the front door; anyway, he'd have dismissed them as guards. He was talking on the phone when one of them smacked him over the back of the head with a club, knocking him out unconscious, they took his gun, and then walked in the room Zeltzin was sleeping in, they knocked her unconscious, bound and gagged her, stuffed her inside a laundry cart and then wheeled it out into a waiting van, the guards at the front gate let it pass, thinking it was just the laundry needing to be done elsewhere because they knew the washers were having problems in the mansion. She was smuggled onto a private plane and arrived in ANL.

Henry would have been able to stop the plane, but when he awoke, he was handcuffed to the metal pipe inside the meat locker; they had been kind enough to put him in a warm coat though.

<Azhultan> (To General 2) "So when should Zeltzin be in the country?"

(General 2) "Could be any minute." (Looking outside at a jeep approaching) "Indeed, that could be her right now!"

Azhultan looked towards the jeep stunned. He said "You know, with your style of planning, I could use your expertise getting rid of the commie remnants.

Back in Mississippi, a servant preparing to cook some steaks went in the locker and saw Henry, he was badly beaten and bloodied, but was just shouting, "Get me DIS, stop all outgoing private planes! Now!" He shouted to another servant, "Get me out of here!" They got a universal handcuff key that the DIS had given Henry, they got him out. He rushed to the weapons room, since he'd still forgotten the keys, he took a chair and threw it against the glass, he grabbed out an M-24 scoped rifle with night vision and an MP-5N, he then got into jungle camo clothing and made his way for the helipad of the mansion. The guards tried to stop him, but he said, "To stop me you'll need to kill me", they let him go.

One of the guerillas got out of the jeep and walked into the general's office, he tossed a large duffle bag in front of the general, the bag was moving around, he knew she was in it.

(Guerilla) "Merry Christmas sir!"

<Azhultan> "Ahh, this is a great surprise."

He unzipped the bag and then pulled her out of it, her hands were bound tightly behind her back, she was gagged, and she was kicking and screaming into her gag. She gave the general a dirty look.

<Azhultan> "Ahh, secret agent woman, don't you wish your great Soviet government listened to you after all?"

She yelled an insult through her gag.

<Azhultan> (To General 2) "What did you do with her slave?"

(Guerilla) "They say the knocked him out and restrained him inside the meat freezer."

<Azhultan> "Ahh, this is just getting better and better." He hears Zeltzin cursing at him through the gag. He looks at her and pats her on the head, to add insult to injury.

She tries to kick at him, but winds up falling onto the ground.

(General 1) "She's got a lot of spirit!"

Azhultan looks at her and begins to laugh. I'll help you up in a moment, you can lie in the ground for a while to humble yourself."

(General 2) (Laughing while he pats her on the head) "I'd like to be the one help break some of that spirit!"

<Azhultan> "Feisty one, but breakable."

(General 2) "Would you mind any help breaking her?"

She was cursing them and making loud noises into her gag. They could make out some of the words, nothing good of course.

<Azhultan> "Maybe a bit later." (He points to the rebel guard) "You, take her in my tent, and don't you try anything on her!"

(General 2) "Wait, I think her gag needs to be adjusted, she can still be heard!"

<Azhultan> "Adjust it as much as you want."

The man takes the duct tape off from over her mouth and she starts to scream and spit at them, she spits in the rebel general's face. General 1 slaps her and knocks her back to the ground; General 2 takes a dirty rag from the general’s desk and crams it into her mouth, then puts the duct tape back on. She feels she is going to pass out from the smell, but she remains defiant and gives them all a dirty look.

<Azhultan> "I believe that rag was used in surgery today. In any event, this will do. If it’s alright, put her in the tent now."

The guard comes over and picks her up with ease. He then walks over to the tent and puts her in it, and then walks out, zipping it up on the way out."

(General 2) "What is the plan then sir?"

(General 1) "We have over 200,000 mercenaries here by the time you tally up weapons crews and artillery. We can shell the capital with gas to make them comply, does that sound good?"

(General 2) "No, not the capital, such a city is too important, shell a city of lesser importance first, to let them know we mean business. Then we can capture the capital unharmed with no damage."

<Azhultan> "Well, I have a meeting with some supporters in a bit. I need to be there soon. If it is possible, I would like to have a security detail with me, four or five mercenaries. In the meanwhile, if you want to shell the capital, then go ahead. However, knowing the key military positions of the ANL, I would suggest shelling Veracruz or Jallisco."

(General 2) "Okay, we can arrange that, the 5 most trusted men we know, none of them will have any reason to harm you."

(General 2) "Before you go, we can start breaking the spy in, right?"

<Azhultan> "Be my guest. I want a full report when I come back, though."

(General 2) (Smiling) "You got it."

(General 2) "Why don't you go get her a few times before you leave, it'll help calm you down for your meeting."

<Azhultan> "Well, now that you say it, I might spend (he looks at his watch) 15 minutes."

(General 2) "Well you have fun."

Azhultan went over to the tent and opened it up, looking right at Zeltzin. He spoke with much malice: "How you will regret getting into my affairs."

She stared at him and gave him a very evil look, it was saying, "I'll kill you the second I get the chance!"

Azhultan took off his coat, "Ahh, you'll never get a chance to kill me. Once your government is out of power, you'll be subjected to my absolute rule. And even then if I do get killed before I can take power, it won't be by your hands."

She tried to say something through the gag, but he only heard a muted slur of unintelligible words.

<Azhultan> "What was that? Never mind, it won't matter what you say. He kneeled down and said, "I hope you haven't been too tampered with."

She kicked him hard right in the shin and then quickly followed by a kick in the kneecap, then finally the groin.

Azhultan lay on the ground, completely dazzled by what happened. He was in pain, unable to get up or walk. He said "Ahh, you...you'll pay for that dearly."

She gave him another dirty look and attempted to sweep at him with her right leg.

He avoided her leg sweep and said in complete anger and spite "I must be leaving now! Be waiting for me to come back."

He then put on his coat and walked outside of his tent, where he boarded the car to take him to his meeting.

<Azhultan> (To General 2) "You'll have to be careful with her. She's lethal."

(General 2) "What do you mean, she's restrained, what can she do?"

<Azhultan> "You'll find out."

(General 1) "Did you start breaking her then?"

<Azhultan> "No, I didn't. She kicked me in the groin and a bit more. Needless to say, I'm not in the mood."

(General 2) "That would make me want to break her all the more."

<Azhultan> "Well, regardless, I have to go to the meeting."

(General 2) "Okay, well see you soon."

Azhultan was obviously mad, but his truck began to depart.

The two generals both waited for the general to be out of sight, then they walked over to the tent Zeltzin was in and walked in, closing the flap behind them.

One of them tore the tape off her mouth so fast, it burned and hurt her, and the other took the rag out of her mouth.

<Zeltzin> "Could you've been more polite?"

(General 1) (Slaps her in the face) "Quiet Bitch!"

<Zeltzin> "You want me to be quiet, you have to make me quiet."

(General 2) (Laughing) "Maybe if I shove something large and wide in her mouth, she will be quiet!"

<Zeltzin> "Try it!"

(General 2) (Slaps her in the face twice) "Don't talk back!"

<Zeltzin> "Don't you like them feisty?"

(General 2) (Smiling) "Yes, yes I do, I'd like it if you would twist around and struggle while I do it. Will you do that?"

(General 1) "You sure do know what you want, eh Dan?"

(General 2) "Well damnit Dave, what do you want me to do, not get my fun?"

<Zeltzin> "I don't know...What if I don't?"

(Dave) "Well, I guess so, but you stick it in her mouth, she's going to bite it off!"

(Dan) "You do what you're told, or you die and Henry dies!"

<Zeltzin> "I seriously doubt Roger or Curtis Fabus would willingly allow for the death of Henry, the brother of Roger and son of Curtis."

(Dan) "Well! What do you think?"

(Dave) "I think she'd like to take the risk! Roger Fabus is in Egypt and Curtis Fabus is bed ridden!"

(Dan) "I think she wants to find out the hard way what happens when you talkback!"

<Zeltzin> "What's to stop you from killing me even if I do comply."

(Dan) "Well if you're any good, we'll keep you around."

<Zeltzin> "Hmm, death or being a sex slave...hmmm, decisions, decisions. Under most cases, I would choose death, but since you are probably sicker then all hell, you probably would do me if I were dead."

(Dave) (Slaps her in the face) "How dare you insult me!"

<Zeltzin> "And plus, wouldn't the morals of Mississippi dictate that it would be immoral?"

(Dave) (Slaps her again) "We're not in Mississippi! Are we!"

<Zeltzin> "Well, I guess nothing is going to stop you then, ehh?"

Dave dropped his pants and said, "Nope! Now are you going to do it right or will you be needing a beating?"

<Zeltzin> "Do what you want, you aren't going to get much"

Dan hit her in the stomach with a clenched fist.

Zeltzin coughed hard, reeling in pain. "Now is that the way to treat a lady?"

Dave pulled her up into a kneeling position by her hair, it hurt worse than the punch to the stomach, "You're not a lady, you're a spy and a whore!"

<Zeltzin> (Breathing hard, sweating from the pain) "Say what you wish. You want it, you have to work for it."

(Dave) "You know maybe I should get on the phone right now and have Henry killed!"

<Zeltzin> "Good luck trying."

He picked up a phone, dialed a number, and then said, "Yes, I want you to let Henry Fabus know he's going to die!" (They had this arranged, playing a recording taken earlier from the cornfield when he thought they were going to kill him he put the phone to Zeltzin's ear, she could hear him (she didn't know it's a recording) he screaming, "Well are you going to kill me then?" Then she heard a loud thud as somebody hit him with a club and laughed.

Dan took the phone back and said, "Next time he won't so lucky."

<Zeltzin> "You son of a bitch."

(Dave) "So, will you be more accommodating? Or do we need to call them back?"

<Zeltzin> "You want to do me, come over here and get me!:

Dave backhanded her in the face and the force sent her flying to the ground.

<Zeltzin> "Well I'm offering!”

(Dave) "I know, I just wanted to slap you!"

<Zeltzin> "Made you angry, huh?"

(Dave) (Straddling her) "Yes, yes you did. Now go ahead and sit up and make me happy, put that smart mouth of yours to better use."

<Zeltzin> "Alright, let's get this done with."

When she finished with him, the other one dropped his pants and said, "Ready for one more?"

<Zeltzin> "Do I have a choice?"

(Dan) "Well yes actually, you can say yes, and everybody including you and Henry, gets to stay alive and happy, or you can say no, and people start getting bullets between the eyes."

<Zeltzin> "Considering the alternative, get over here."

When she was done with Dan, he pushed her down on the ground, just because he could, said, "Thanks for that!" and then zipped his pants up and sat down in a chair.

(Dan) "Well Zeltzin, would you like something to drink?"

<Zeltzin> "No, I'm fine unless if it's just water."

Dan took out a canteen of water and pulled her into a sitting position, he then held it up to her mouth and helped her drink it, "See, if you're nice to us, we're nice to you. Don't you like it that way?"

Zeltzin let out a regretful "Thanks."

(Dan) "Oh believe me, the pleasure is all mine!"

Meanwhile the rogue general was making his way to the conference.

The General got out of the truck, he looked around, surveying the area, trying to see if he smell an ambush, no.. Everything seemed okay... He was safe, the mercenary guards around him moved quickly and swiftly to secure a perimeter around the truck while he was getting his briefcase.

Three mercenaries maintained a perimeter outside the meeting place, while two accompanied him inside.

Still a bit sore from the kick, General Azhultan walks into the meeting place where several of the ANL's top anti-communists were. He began to talk…


"Hello everybody. It's good to see you all here. Now, I know the situation in the ANL isn't great, and that is why I want to change it."

One of the men spoke up, "Then use chemicals!"

"Right now, we are planning an large scale attack on the strategic points of Veracruz, Jallisco and the capital herself."

(Man) "Might I suggest we hold the attack on the capital until we see how they react to Veracruz being gassed. They may surrender and then we can take the capital intact. It will be a great victory.

Azhultan smiled "Indeed, that is the type of plan I was thinking of. Not only does Veracruz hold the title of being one of the Union's most important cities, as we speak, several foreign army divisions are based there. If we can get rid of them, the Communist government will surely fall."

(Man 2) "What of this threat we here of, an internal rivalry in Mississippi, the nation the mercenaries are from. Between the supporter Roger Fabus, and the opponent Henry Fabus, will this be an issue?"

<Azhultan> "Henry Fabus is nothing. There is a key difference between the two...Roger is the Premier, and Henry is not. And as long as Roger is the Premier, Henry is powerless."

(Man 3) "Roger is only acting Premier, how will his father Curtis act when he resumes power?"

<Azhultan> "When Curtis Fabus is capable of controlling his nation again, it is most likely our communist government will be gone. Most likely, he will be supportive of us."

(Man 2) "Well then find some way to control Henry Fabus that doesn't entail killing him, otherwise Curtis Fabus will oppose us!"

<Azhultan> "The people of his nation and his family will re-educate him, particularly since he is not under Soviet mind control anymore.

(Man 1) "Okay, so this is all resolved then? The attacks will go down across the nation against the major cities to show the government is powerless to stop us, so the people will know to support us because they see we'll win."

<Azhultan> "Exactly. Once people see that the government is failing them, they will support us. Neither does the government or AIA even know where we are. Hell, I knew ISPA couldn't stop us if it wanted to."

(Man 2) "So do we need to be here then? We don't like being together for too long, if they got us all at once, it'd crush the rebellion. Shall we adjourn this meeting then?"

<Azhultan> "I just want to know, do I have all of your support? If you want me to convince you, I will stay here and talk to you or we can talk later."

(Man 1) "Yes I am behind you!"

(Man 2) "As am I."

(Man 3) "I'm with you!"

<Azhultan> "Good, very good. Then I believe this meeting is adjourned."

The men all turned to walk out separate doors to their separate cars.

Azhultan turned around and got back into the truck. He felt victory was near.

The mercenaries secured the area around the truck and checked for bombs or ambushes, then got in after he did and they were off down the road. About twenty minutes later, they arrived back at the camp.

Back at the camp, both generals from the mercenary outfit were still there, sitting around, and they told Azhultan, "She's starting to break!"

<Azhultan> "Very good. Now, let me have the honor of finishing her."

(Dan) "She's all yours, we left her ungagged, and maybe you might gag her again? But I think Dave here might like to hear you make her scream!"

The two men laughed. The General could tell they were both truly sadistic, evil to the core.

He walked into his tent, feeling on top of the world, the other two men had tied her to his bed, ready for him. She looked at him with an evil glare and boldly said, "You're going to get it, they'll kill you!"

Azhultan was perplexed? "Who's going to kill me?" He dismissed it "Whatever."

(Zeltzin) "The special forces from Mississippi will stop you!"

(Zeltzin) "The one's Henry will surely hire!"

<Azhultan> "Your beloved Henry's power is much more limited then you think. I mean, he's under house arrest for God's sake!"

(Zeltzin) "He can still have you killed!"

<Azhultan> "And even if he does, what is to stop the movement? "The ANL government itself is changing. We just want to mold it to our views?"

Zeltzin spat in his direction, missing him though.

<Azhultan> "And yet you miss. Save your energy for later struggles, you'll need it."

(Zeltzin) "They'll kill you, you'll die in the end!"

<Azhultan> "If I am to die, let it happen. At least I will be dying in the midst of the most glorious and successful revolution ever."

(Zeltzin) "Try the Mississippian 1984 revolution, four parachute divisions smashed 38 government divisions and then Curtis Fabus came to power. That is glorious, you are going to crash and burn!"

Azhultan could not deny this. "I'm not going to listen to this anymore."

(Zeltzin) "Well then take a long walk off a short pier and you'll never have to listen to me again!"

<Azhultan> "Or maybe we should do that to you? What do you think?"

(Zeltzin) "You wouldn't dare.... Would you?"

<Azhultan> "I'm about to take over a country here, I could do anything I want."

Zeltzin decided he was insane and she'd better stroke his ego lest he kill her, "That's right, I must admit it, you're going to win. I realize it now."

Azhultan was shocked by this turn around. "Has the obvious finally hit you?"

He smiled "I'm glad it has."

(Zeltzin) (In a helpless tone) "Yes, it's true, I know... I'm in intelligence, the government army is on the verge of collapse, and your massive attacks will soon win."

<Azhultan> "Really. What sort of weaknesses?"

(Zeltzin) "They have no way to stop the massive chemical attacks planned."

<Azhultan> "Do you know anything about the foreign allies inside the ANL?

(Zeltzin) "They are only 200,000 strong with no WMD weapons, they'll fold too. You've won."

<Azhultan> "Although it is too early to celebrate, I feel like this is a done deal." He smiled "Where is their weakest point?"

(Zeltzin) "You've gotten what you wanted yes? Can you let me go please? Spare me, general."

(Zeltzin) "I think it is Veracruz, their weakest point."

<Azhultan> "Then that is where we will definitely attack first. I can't let you go, but if you show yourself as not being a threat, then I will release you."

(Zeltzin) "Okay, as you wish general."

<Azhultan> "If you and I stay on favorable terms and I come to power, you might be able to keep your old job."

(Zeltzin) "How does that happen though? I thought you were decidedly against me? What are your plans for me now?"

<Azhultan> "Zeltzin, see, things have slightly changed. You have given me good information and that has made me feel good about my chances."

(Zeltzin) "Well I just want to be on the winning side." (But she really knows he is probably going to lose)

Azhultan was pleased with what she said. He decided to let her be and went outside to begin planning their attack.

The general, Dan, said, "Well that was quick, I heard no noise either... You didn't do it, did you?"

<Azhutlan> "No, I didn't. She instead gave me some interesting tactical information to plan our attack on."'

(Dan) "Whatever she says is probably false. What did she tell you, we'll set your straight on it."

<Azhultan> "Since she is intel, she does have a good view on things. She said the weakest point of the ANL was the city of Veracruz. Plus, the ANL military is on the verge of collapse because they have no way to counter the chemical attacks."

(Dan) "There are over 20 divisions in Veracruz!"

(Dan) "But they arrived recently, she might not have known. But she is correct, chemical attacks will hurt them badly."

<Azhultan> "And since they have no way to take cover, they will be left exposed."

(Dave) "Yes, but remember we are outnumbered by the foreign soldiers, and they are itching for a fight, their spirits are high, good morale, good NBC gear, etc."

<Azhultan> "Plus, I know the ANL has a lot of NBC gear." He thinks about it. "You might be right. The only thing about Veracruz is the importance in the economy."

(Dave) "But don't let the attack plan worry you, we've planned it all out with our mercenaries, if we need to, we can launch biological attacks against Veracruz and turn the people into zombies with IG Virus. So you just go relax, we'll handle it sir."

<Azhultan> "IG virus. Very nice."

(Dave) "Yes, we'll tell the capital 10 minutes before we fire the Virus, surrender or else."

(Dan) "You just make sure when you're finished with the woman, you let us know, we'd like more time with her!"

<Azhultan> "Just one question...is the IG virus on hand?"

(Dan) "It is here yes, but not here in the camp no, it is in the care of an artillery unit."

<Azhultan> "Alright, I'll stop worrying."

(Dan) "Well Dave and I are going to get some food, you have fun."

Azhultan walked over to the tent, still feeling confident. To him, it was inevitable he would win.

(Zeltzin) "I heard you talking about IG Virus, you won't really use that, will you?"

<Azhultan> "In war, you need to do anything to win. That is what I thought until now. If it came to it, I would not allow the use of the IG Virus. That would be too bad politically and the effects are too damaging."

(Zeltzin) "Well then, are you going to do what they suggest and get your fun at my expense?"

<Azhultan> "No, I'm not in the mood."

(Zeltzin) "Thank you."

<Azhultan> "I'm too concentrated on the coup, then anything else. But right now, I'm just going to sleep, or see if I can."

(Zeltzin) "Well is there any need to keep me like this?"

<Azhultan> "Not really, I just like the company."

(Zeltzin) "Okay then."

(Zeltzin) "So now what?"

<Azhultan> "I'm not sure. I'm curious, Zeltzin. Has the AIA been able to pinpoint the locations or no?"

(Zeltzin) "Last I knew, no."

(Zeltzin) "I haven't been in contact with the AIA for months though."

<Azhultan> "I was just curious. I do believe they have been able to decode my message’s, but where we are is still a mystery to them."

(Zeltzin) "Yes, but I'm pretty sure Henry will be able to find you."

<Azhultan> "Even if Henry finds us, this place is heavily armed. I doubt one man could bring it down. Also, the camouflage is pretty good."

(Zeltzin) "He'll bring dozens of republican guardsmen with him."

<Azhultan> "Even if that is true, what would be his goal? If he were to foil the plans of his brother, he would be a marked man."

(Zeltzin) "He'll be coming here to get me back. Nothing else."

<Azhultan> "And with that, he must fail. If you were to be found, you could get back to AIA Command and reveal the location to them."

(Zeltzin) "So when do you plan to let me go? Do you ever plan to?"

<Azhultan> "As long as I can keep you. I mean, I wouldn't keep you locked up in the bed like that forever, but, until I gain power, you will stay in this camp. And when I gain power, you will still be under the government's custody."

(Zeltzin) "So you'll never let me leave the nation then?"

<Azhultan> "There is one way for you to be released back to Henry. However, he must stop his support for the ANL government."

(Zeltzin) "Well where is he? I'm sure he'll agree to it, just get in contact with him."

<Azhultan> "Now that I don't know. The mercenaries might, but I don't."

(Zeltzin) "Well where are they? Contact them!"

<Azhultan> "Alright, alright, I'll go find them, they are eating somewhere in camp."

He walked out and saw the two generals eating military MRE rations, sitting on crates

(Dan) "Hello general, what is it?"

<Azhultan> "Do you know where Henry Fabus is or no?"

(Dan) "Not now, our contacts that were keeping an eye on his estate say he left hours ago, ignoring the order to remain under house arrest, he could be in ANL by now."

<Azhultan> "Violating a House Arrest order, yeash, desperate guy. Do you think he would try to avoid the legal repercussions back in Mississippi?”

(Dave) "There will probably be no repercussions."

<Azhultan> "Well, what do you think he'll do when he gets here? Do you also think anybody will be with him or will he be traveling alone?"

(Dave) "He'll probably have at least a platoon of the super elite Mississippian Special Air Assault Squads with him. Maybe Republican Guard or Special Republican Guard. He's certainly going to want the woman back, that is for sure."

<Azhultan> "So it seems. Alright, thanks for the update."

(Dan) (Smiling) "So are you done with her then? Mind if we go see how she's going?"

<Azhultan> "If you wish."

(Dave) "Don't you think that will just make Henry mad when he gets here?"

(Dan) "He can't get much more mad than he'll be right now."

(Dave) "I suppose you have a point."

Azhultan was thinking that he'd soon have to give her back to Henry, and he hadn't gotten to have his way with her, so he was wondering if he should just tell the two mercenary generals to take a hike, but in a polite manner.

<Azhultan> "Honestly, she's probably been through enough today. After all, we don't want to hurt her too much."

(Dan) "Fine, I suppose you're right... Maybe we'll get lucky and Henry will take his time getting here."

(Dave) "I wouldn't count on that."

<Azhultan> "What do you plan on doing with Henry when he gets here?"

(Dave) "What do you want us to do with him? We can place teams to jump him and capture him; they'll catch him by surprise. He has no real special operations training."

<Azhultan> "If we capture he, we could use use Zeltzin and other tactics to make him stop supporting the ANL government. Try to capture him."

(Dan) "We could just kill him and make it look like banditos did it, or an accident, or the elements."

<Azhultan> "No, I don't think it would be wise to kill him. What might be a good idea is to capture him, and then we personally return him to Roger Fabus."

(Dan) "Okay, we'll try to capture him."

<Azhultan> "Ok."

The two generals went back to eating, figuring that was all he had to say.

Azhultan decided to walk around. He didn't want to walk around either his or Mississippi's mercenaries, for fear of getting killed. So he decided to walk around his tent, trying to keep a low profile."

The sound of the night animals could be clearly heard, it was getting late, he was getting tired of walking around, he also figured it made him an excellent target being outside.

Azhultan thought it would be best for him to go back to his tent. Quickly, he turned around and headed back for the tent. Despite what he said to Zeltzin, he did not want to die.

When he got back in the tent, Zeltzin looked at him, "Well general, did you find what you were looking for?"

<Azhultan> "Yes, I did. You are correct; Henry is on his way with some troops. However, he will be captured and returned to Mississippi."

(Zeltzin) "And what happens to me then?"

<Azhultan> "I will probably ask that you be released to him, with the provision that you are placed under house arrest and prohibited from traveling to the ANL again so you can't report back to the AIA."

(Zeltzin) "That's uncharacteristically nice of you."

<Azhultan> "I'm in an uncharacteristically nice mood right now."

(Zeltzin) "Well then that works out to my benefit yes?"

<Azhultan> "To be perfectly honest, Zeltzin, you are right. You get to go free. However, remember, what I say might be one thing, what the mercenaries do might be something else."

(Zeltzin) "So you're not going to keep me here as your personal slave, satisfying your sick urges?" He wasn't planning on that anymore, but he figured he'd want to get at least once, or else he'd regret it later.

<Azhultan> "No, but..."

(Zeltzin) "But what?"

<Azhultan> "Before I let you go to Henry, I just want you to do two things, you have to keep Henry convinced not to support the ANL's current government, and could we just have one go at it?"

(Zeltzin) "You're kidding right? But I don't suppose I have much choice do I?"

<Azhultan> "No, not really."

(Zeltzin) (Sighing) "Then why did you ask?"

<Azhultan> "Just to see what you would say."

(Zeltzin) "You actually thought I would say yes?"

<Azhultan> "I actually didn't know what you would say, I was just testing the waters."

(Zeltzin) "Henry and I are getting married and you think I'd go around doing that sort of thing? Wow."

<Azhultan> "'It's interesting seeing what people do when under stress."

(Zeltzin) "Well can I just go to sleep and not have to worry about you forcing yourself on me?"

<Azhultan> "Well, if it makes you feel any better. Of course, I might wake you up."

(Zeltzin) "So you're not just going to forget about it then?"

<Azhultan> "You may wish it, but it will only be wishful thinking. The only way I'm not going to do it is if I am killed, we are attacked by commies or the ISPA arrests me."

(Zeltzin) "Well will you at least make it quick."

<Azhultan> "I'll be as quick or as time consuming as I want."

(Zeltzin) "I'm sure you have more important things to do with your time... Don't you... I mean planning your victory parade through the capital and such."

He realized she was just trying to distract him in hopes he'd forget.

<Azhultan> "Don't pester me with things that will come later."

(Zeltzin) "Perhaps you should be outside waiting for the MSAAS or Republican Guard units to arrive, they're going to be here you know... They'll be here, it could even be right now they're here."

He was starting to get annoyed at her attempts to distract him.

<Azhultan> (With anger beginning to build) "Or maybe you should try to sleep, or I'm not going to wait any longer."

(Zeltzin) "You know doing what you have in mind, might push Henry over the edge and he'll oppose you to the death, did you think of that?"

Remembering what the Generals said, "You know, you have a point. Hopefully, I'll be the winner."

(Zeltzin) "Do you think you'll win? As it stands now..."

<Azhultan> "I have never met Henry or even seen him. However, I think I could win.”

(Zeltzin) "Well then you don't need me, you'll have an entire nation... right?"

<Azhultan>"The attack day hasn't even been planed yet."

(Zeltzin) "Well then your work is cutout for you."

He was distracted for a minute, thinking of the attack, the victory, the triumph, but then he shook himself back into reality, and he realized he'd almost fallen for her attempts to distract him.

<Azhutlan> "You know what, I do have planning to do. All the more reason to hurry up with this."

(Zeltzin) "Well you'd better hope you win then, because Henry will have you killed otherwise."

<Azhultan> "So you really think this Henry of yours can beat me."

(Zeltzin) "Yes."

<Azhultan> "Well, we shall see."

(Zeltzin) "Oh we'll see... We'll see."

<Azhultan, I also heard he was the one hiring an assassin for me."

(Zeltzin) "There was no money involved, they'll kill you because they want to obey Henry."

<Azhultan> "See, Mississippi's system sounds good. They obey their leaders because they want to."

(Zeltzin) "And men only obey you because you force them."

<Azhultan>"Yes, it is true that many people in my movement were forced to join.”

(Zeltzin) "And you can only get what you want from women by forcing yourself on them."

<Azhultan> "At least I get what I want. The ends justify the means.”

(Zeltzin) "Well then general, I hope you get all your just deserts."

<Azhultan> "That is one thing your government has never understood. Its fairness to all types of beliefs makes it vulnerable to people willing to step on others to get more power.”

(Zeltzin) "Well we shall see what happens."

<Azhultan> "Honestly, Zeltzin, you know your government can't last, it has too many problems.”

(Zeltzin) "You're right, I admit it."

<Azhultan> "And I know that ANL is now trying to rectify it's problems. And while they have had good initial success, it's too little too late.”

(Zeltzin) "Yes I agree."

<Azhultan> "You profess to hate me, but yet, you say the ANL government is about to collapse. I want to know whom you truly support.”

(Zeltzin) "I support the ANL government, but now that I'll be moving to Mississippi, it doesn't affect me what happens here. But I honestly want to see you lose."

<Azhultan> "Well, with you moving to Mississippi, you'll be the AIA's perfect agent. But you won't have an employer soon.”

(Zeltzin) "In Mississippi I plan to retire from working for the AIA."

<Azhultan> (Shocked) "Now this is a surprise. Although I am sure you could easily get a job as a diplomat."

(Zeltzin) "No, I think I'll be done working for a while at least."

<Azhultan> "The great agent Zeltzin settles to become a homemaker."

(Zetlzin) "Well Henry will want children, and somebody will have to take care of them."

<Azhultan> "Well, this is quite a change for you."

(Zeltzin) "Yes, I suppose so. But I've done enough spy work for a lifetime."

<Azhultan> "Well, if you leave the ANL, then I don't have to worry about dealing with you."

(Zeltzin) "So you're going to leave me alone then?"

<Azhultan> "I’m pondering with the idea."

Of course, he was just saying that, he had made his decision a while ago.

(Zeltzin) (Casually) "So if I could just leave now that's okay by me."

<Azhultan> "Well, I'm not sure if I want to let you go, just yet."

(Zeltzin) "Why not?"

<Azhultan> "Just because."

(Zeltzin) "Well then, what are your plans? Do you ever intend to clue me in as to what you're going to do? Leave me here to rot?"

<Azhultan>"I'll tell you exactly what my plans are. I plan on overthrowing a government, taking it over, and assisting Mississippi whenever it is needed, since they are helping me. With you, my dear, the future is unwritten. Although I know what I want to do with you, you still serve some importance to me. Once your purpose to me is done, I'll decide then." He, of course, was evading the question.

(Zeltzin) (In a mocking tone of disgust) "So you know what you want to do with me? What might that be general?"

<Azhultan> "I plan to use you as much as I can."

(Zeltzin) "Please, anything but that."

<Azhultan> "It might mean that, but then again, I plan to use you as an asset for my cause. In essence, you are going to be a pawn for me."

She breathed a sigh of relief; at least somewhat assured that his plans were for her might not be as she feared.

(Zeltzin) "Well then when can I leave?"

<Azhultan> "When I decide you can leave. Right now, you are too important for me."

(Zeltzin) "Very well then."

(Zeltzin) "Well do you ever plan to feed me or give me water?"

<Azhultan> "Since you are an asset to me, I guess I have to keep you somewhat nourished. What do you want right now?"

(Zeltzin) "Well I don't suppose there is much on the menu, whatever standard military rations you have will be fine."

<Azhultan> "Sure, you want water with that?"

(Zeltzin) "Please."

<Azhultan> "Alright, I'll be back in a second." He walks out of the tent and heads over towards the ration packs.

He got her a military ration pack and a bottle of water; he set them next to her. She looked at it, "How can I eat when I'm tied down here?" She had a point, but he didn't trust her enough to untie her, he figured he'd feed her himself. Not only would she not be able to escape, it'd also humiliate her.

<Azhultan> (Opening the package) "How about you stay put and I just give the food to you."

(Zeltzin) (Sighing) "I don't suppose I have a choice, do I?" She opened her mouth.

Getting some food, he then fed it to her.

After about ten minutes, she was done eating; she'd finished the ration pack.

(Zeltzin) "Thank you."

<Azhultan> "No problem."

(Zeltzin) "May I sleep now general?"

He didn't want her to sleep just yet; he had other ideas in mind.

<Azhultan> "Well, Zeltzin, not just yet. I haven't finished with you."

(Zeltzin) (Her voice starting to waver and the tone getting nervous) "What do you mean?"

<Azhultan> "You know exactly what I mean."

(Zeltzin) (Almost in a pleading tone) "Please, not that... Please general."

He wasn't going to listen to her pleas though, but it gave him great pleasure just to hear her begging him. She had once held sway over his career, and tried to ruin him. And now he had her right where wanted her.

<Azhultan> "Beg me some more!"

(Zeltzin) (Realizing he wanted her to beg) "Go to hell!"

<Azhultan> (Approaching her) "Do you honestly think that is going to stop me?"

(Zeltzin) "You won't get away with this! You'll lose the war and then hang!"

<Azhultan> "If you stop trying to make me mad, I might go easier on you."

(Zeltzin) "How about you just forget the whole idea? Anything else, just name it." There wasn't really anything else he wanted. He'd soon have the war won and he'd be rich beyond his wildest dreams.

<Azhultan> "What could an agent of a Communist government give me? Money, no, power, no, information, I don't need it. It looks like you are out of luck."

(Zeltzin) "Do you want money?"

<Azhultan> "No, I don't need any monetary support. Besides, the government gives you a meager sum of money."

(Zeltzin) "Yes, but Henry is quite wealthy."

<Azhultan> "But Roger Fabus is much richer."

(Zeltzin) (Sighing) "Well then it seems like you already have decided."

<Azhultan> "Yes, and you will either be easy about it or struggle."

(Zeltzin) "I don't suppose struggling will accomplish anything..."

<Azhultan> "No, it will make it better for me though."

(Zeltzin) "You know, that probably isn't normal."

<Azhultan> "Meh. I'm better then normal."

Zeltzin was attempting anything to take her mind away from what was about to happen. She had been trained as a spy, and as such she had to be able to shut-out all pains, tortures, or anything the enemy might attempt to use against her... She was thinking of anywhere else, being anywhere else, not here, not now... She wasn't even there anymore. She didn't reply to him.

Azhultan looked at her. She looked completely spaced out. Still, he’d take any opportunity. He started to get ready for what he was going to do."

He took his time just to prolong her agony, but she wasn't there, she'd disconnected from herself... About twenty minutes later, he was done.

Satisfied with his deed, Azhultan got up and left the tent, to leave Zeltzin in what he thought would be psychological torture.

The two mercenary generals were still sitting around; they were each drinking from a flask.

(Dan) (Grinning) "Hello general, did you get to know her better?"

<Azhultan> "Yeah, I got to know her personally."

(Dave) "Well congratulations general."

<Azhultan> "I guess you could say she is broken."

(Dan) (Grinning) "Well perhaps I could help break her even more?"

<Azhultan> "If you wish..."

(Dan) (Smiling) "Thank you general."

(Dave) "Hey no fair, don't I get a turn?"

<Azhultan> "You both get a turn if you want."

They both got up, both of them walked towards the tent. Dan went in first; Dave sat down outside the tent, and lit up a cigar. Zeltzin was in no mood to play games with another maniac, about twenty seconds after he walked in the tent. Dan came running out with a broken and bleeding nose, "The bitched kicked me! Why didn't somebody tie her legs down!"

Azhultan looked over, not surprised to see her rebelling.

Dave started to laugh and then walked in the tent, Dan also walked back in, holding one hand on his nose. They started to slap her and then they tied her legs down. The general could hear her struggling about and screaming threats and curses at them. He wondered if he should do something.

About twenty minutes later, both Dave and Dan emerged from the tent. They had each taken about ten minutes. Dan was still holding a hand over his nose.

(Dan) (To the general) "That bitch broke my nose!"

<Azhultan>"Go see the medic if you want to."

(Dan) "Nah, I'm good. I got my revenge on her! Let's just say she won't be sitting down for a while!"

The general knew what that meant.

<Azhultan> "Well, if you ever do need a medic, feel free to go."\

(Dan) (Still holding a hand over his nose) "Thank you. Well I'm going to get a drink and then get some sleep."

Dave nodded also and thought sleeping was a good idea. He walked off to a tent that had been readied for him."

The general walked back into the tent where Zeltzin was. He saw they'd tied her legs down, but had rolled her over, and he knew why because of what Dan had said. She looked at him, and then struggled to plead, "No more please, general, no more."

Azhultan didn't want to deal with Zeltzin at the minute. "I'm not going to do anything."

(Zeltzin) (Sounding almost desperate in her pleas) "Please, don't let them do that again... Keep them away from me, please."

Almost feeling bad for her, Azhultan said, "I can't make any promises, but I'll see what I can do."

Zeltzin was trying her best to keep from crying, but a few small tears started to drip down her cheek, she struggled to keep her tone from changing, but it was obvious she was distraught, "Can I please sleep now general?"

<Azhultan> "Sure, sleep all you want."

She promptly fell asleep; she was exhausted and depressed... Wondering what had happened to Henry. Nobody knew it at the time, but he had been captured in an ambush by guerillas in another region of the country, over fifty miles away. He'd killed at least 1/2 dozen of them, but his rifle jammed.

A soldier from the camp, brought word to the General that a unit about 50 miles away had captured Henry after he was caught in an ambush...He reported that they stated he killed 4 men with his rifle before it jammed, and then killed two more with a knife before he was tackled.

(Soldier) "Well sir, what should I tell them? They say it will take at least two days to get him here passed the enemy movements in the area."

<Azhutlan> "Tell them to bring him here. Unfortunately, there is no quicker way to get him here."

(Soldier) "Yes general." He then turned and walked out of the tent to go relay the order.

The general wondered if he should wake Zeltzin to tell her... He figured it could wait until the morning, but perhaps he should tell her. He wasn't sure.

Azhultan began to walk to her side to tell her Henry was coming. However, she would become very unruly. However, he would tell her when she woke up.

Azhultan was himself tired. He decided it would be worth it if he were to sleep.

He lay down on his bed to get some sleep, doing so; he disturbed Zeltzin, who promptly was awakened, "Please general, not again."

<Azhultan> "I'm just trying to sleep, I'm not going to do anything."

She closed her eyes and went back to sleep. Eventually he too fell asleep.

Early in the next morning, at about half beyond six, he awoke.

Azhultan looked around, trying to see if Zeltzin was awake.

She was awake, but was trying to fake as though she was asleep, hoping he'd leave her alone. He thought she was faking asleep, he wasn't sure though.

<Azhultan> (Speaking softly) "Henry is coming here."

Her eyes suddenly opened, "Where is he? Is he okay?"

<Azhultan> "He'll be here in two days. He was fighting Mississippian guerillas and was captured, so I ordered him here.

(Zeltzin) "You're not going to hurt him are you?"

<Azhultan> "I won't, but the guards might."

(Zeltzin) "Please, do something, don't let them hurt him!"

<Azhultan>"They will try to convince him to stop supporting the ANL government."

(Zeltzin) "Please, he will stop, just don't hurt him, please general."

<Azhultan> "I'll tell them to take good care of him."

(Zeltzin) "Well that could mean something different depending in the tone you tell it to them. Promise me, tell them not to harm him, please general."

<Azhutlan> "Henry is important to me too, primarily since he is my main supporter's brother.

Azhultan gets up and goes out, looking for one of the soldiers.

Dan was sitting outside his tent smoking; he stood up when he saw the general, "Greeting general, how are you?

<Azhultan> "Ahh, I'm doing ok. You know about how Henry Fabus was captured, right?"

(Dan) "Yes, I heard a few minutes ago. I was told you were informed, so that is why I didn't wake you."

<Azhultan> "Ahh, thank you. Well, I wanted to ask, when he is in transport over here, can you make sure no harm is brought onto him. I mean, I don't want to anger Roger."

(Dan) "Yes, I've anticipated such from you and already issued the orders."

<Azhultan> "Ahh, good. Ok, thank you. If he weren't related to Roger, I wouldn't give a damn."

(Dan) "You're welcome..." (His nose is bandaged up now, and the general is trying not to stare) "Do you mind if I go wake up Zeltzin?"

Even though he was self admittedly a ruthless man, he didn't want Zeltzin to deal with them. He said "Ahh, give her a bit of rest."

(Dan) "Okay general, maybe later then."

Happy he was able to stop them for now, he turned around and went back to his tent to tell Zeltzin about Henry.

(Zeltzin) (Seeing the general enter the tent again) "Well general... What now?"

<Azhultan> "I asked...I ordered that Henry not be hurt on his way here."

(Zeltzin) (Visibly relieved) "Thank you general."

<Azhultan> "You're welcome." He then turned around and went to read over some plans

(Zeltzin) "You know it's quite uncomfortable being tied down here, with my face in this pillow, would you consider untying me?"

<Azhultan> "Well, considering that you broke Dan's nose, I doubt he would take it lightly that I untied you. However, if it is ok, I'll untie you to let you turn over.

(Zeltzin) "Well he deserves more than just his nose being broken."

<Azhultan> "Do you want me to let you flip over or no?"

(Zeltzin) "Yes, please."

Azhultan went over and began to untie her so she would be able to get off of her chest. "Once Henry comes, I'll probably untie you."

(Zeltzin) "Thank you."

<Azhultan> "So you say you want to move to Mississippi. You know you will have a hard time with many people in the government knowing you are a spy."

(Zeltzin) "I won't be a spy anymore... And few will know."

<Azhultan> (While reading a tactical map) "When do you plan on moving there?"

(Zeltzin) "That is for Henry to decide."

<Azhultan> (Continuing to read the map) "So you plan on resigning from the ANL government all together. Seriously, that sounds pretty far fetched, considering you're prestige with the AIA."

(Zeltzin) "Henry would not stand for an active foreign intelligence operative to be in such close proximity to sensitive CM documents and installations. So yes, I am going to totally resign and then become a CM citizen."

<Azhultan> "Truly interesting."

(Zeltzin) "So how do you think Henry is going to have you killed?"

Azhultan stopped reading the map and turned around, looking frustrated. "He won't have me killed at all. Not with his brother supporting me. Besides, with the guards and soldiers here, he couldn't come close to it."

(Zeltzin) (Smiling) "We shall see."

<Azhultan> "Yes, Zeltzin, we will see. I won't go out of my way to harm Henry, but if he tries to harm me, I will defend myself, know that."

(Zeltzin) "Unfortunately for you, you won't live long enough to defend yourself."

<Azhultan> "Seriously Zeltzin, I wouldn't be so damn sure." He walked out of his tent with his map.

Dave was sitting down for a meal under a camo net. He looked at the general, "Ah, up already sir?"

<Azhultan> "Yes. How are you doing?"

(Dave) "Okay. You sir?"

<Azhultan> "Pretty good. Any news I should know about?"

(Dave) "No sir, I've been told you're up to speed."

<Azhultan> "Very good."

(Dave) (Smiling) "Is Zeltzin up yet? I'd like very much to spend a while with her if that is okay."

<Azhultan> "No, she isn't up. Let her rest today, she took a lot yesterday."

(Dave) "Yes sir... Maybe tomorrow eh?"

<Azhultan> "Maybe."

(Dave) "Well sir, I'm going back to my breakfast then if that is all."

<Azhultan> "Please do. That is all."

He walks off in towards a empty table and sits there.

A soldier brought him breakfast, a better than normal breakfast... Not army rations, but bacon, ham, and eggs, taken from local farmers.

Azhultan looked up to the solider and said "Ahhh, thank you."

(Soldier) "You're welcome sir... By the way, the other unit sends word... They'll have the prisoner here in early tomorrow afternoon."

<Azhultan> "Very good."

He started to eat his meal, it was very good food, he found the taste was somewhat unknown to him... It had been so long since he'd had real food... Suddenly the peacefulness of his meal was interrupted by the sound of helicopters; two government Mi-24 helicopters flew by high overhead. They startled the guards, but everybody remained still and the helicopters moved on... They had not spotted the camp.

Azhultan looked up and laughed. Damn commies!

He finished his food and when he was done, he sat back to enjoy a good cigar one of the mercenary generals had given him... It was fine tobacco, the best he'd ever had, Fabus Premium cigars. He decided he'd go back to his tent and have another go at Zeltzin, just because he said he'd keep the other two away from her, didn't mean anything about himself. And besides, he'd kept them away from her, but that was due in part to his desire to keep her for himself. He slowly got up and walked back to the tent.

Zeltzin looked at him, being greatly disturbed by the look in his eye, "What are you planning general?"

<Azhultan> "Alright, let's go." He begins to approach her again.

(Zeltzin) "No please general, not again, not again."

<Azhultan> "I've been protecting you from the others, I want a favor in return."

(Zeltzin) "You mean you're keeping me for yourself is what you're doing... Isn't that it?"

<Azhultan> "If you want to say that, go ahead."

She lay there, staring off at the side of tent, realizing debating him was pointless, she just prayed he'd be quick about it, or perhaps a radio call might come in before he could start... But that was just wishful thinking. Like the prayers of the damned of Sodom and Gomorrah, falling on deaf ears.

Azhultan wanted to enjoy this. He was rallying his thoughts so he could get the most out of what he wanted.

The look of despondency combined with terror in her eyes was enough to give him almost as much satisfaction as he'd had the night before when he took her.

He then made his final approach and snickered at her before starting.

She tried her best to keep him off of her, she wasn't able to just shut it out this time, so she tried to resist, and throw him off of her; she was fighting back. She would probably have been able to break his neck, but she was more than sufficiently restrained.

The general wasn't amused by her spitting in his face and shouting, "You'll get yours!"

(Zeltzin) "You'll see, you'll pay!"

<Azhultan> (Yelling) "Shut up!"

She spit in his face again and shouted, "Go to hell!" She started to twist and turn to throw him off of her, he was getting the struggle he wanted.

He just tried more and said "Damn it, stop it now!"

Her legs were tied down, but she managed to swing her knee and hit him right in the crotch, causing him to fall off of her in great pain.

(Zeltzin) "You said you liked struggle... How is that for struggle!"

Reeling in pain, Azhultan said nothing except, "Damn you!"

She laughed at him as he stood up in pain... But she was uncertain what he'd do to her now.

Azhultan looked at her in pure anger. He then went to slap her, but intentionally missed and then said "Alright, let's try this again!"

She laughed and said, "Why, didn't I hit you hard enough the first time?"

He realized he could just let the other generals go at her again, perhaps the entire camp... He could threaten her with this.

Azhultan> "You know I'm being nice. You can either deal with me or I can easily order every damn solider and guard, including the other general to have a go at you one right after another, you want that?"

She said in a solemn yet meek voice, "no".

<Azhultan> "Then you are going to have to deal with me, damn it!"

She nodded her head and then closed her eyes, bracing for the inevitable. He was glad he'd won, he always won.

In about 20 minutes, he was done.

She lay there, saying nothing, but she broke into tears... He then realized he'd fully broken her.

<Azhultan> "Very good. All right, you know you can't win. You just lay there, alright?"

She didn't respond, she just continued to sob.

She then spoke up, in a weak voice, "You'll keep the others away, right?"

<Azhultan> "Depends."

She stopped sobbing now, and attempted to speak clearly, "On what?"

<Azhultan> "How you serve me and give me less resistance."

(Zeltzin) "I thought you said I'd soon be free to go?"

<Azhultan> "I might or I might not."

(Zeltzin) "Do you think Henry will like that?"

<Azhultan> "No, and I don't really care."

(Zeltzin) "So when do ever plan on letting me go?"

<Azhultan> "When I plan on letting you go."

(Zeltzin) "And that might be when? Days? Months?"

<Azhultan> "When I decide on it. It could be a minute, it could be forever."

She became silent, as she realized he might indeed keep her like this forever.

<Azhultan> "You might get lucky, or you might not." He then walked out of his tent.

Dan was sitting nearby smoking, "Hello general, I heard some screaming and struggling in your tent. I take it that your prey resisted the inevitable, yes?"

<Azhultan> "Yeah."

(Dan) "Maybe I could go in there and help tame her, is that okay?"

<Azhultan> "She is trained. She finally broke."

(Dan) "Well perhaps I can go test how well broken she is?"

<Azhultan> "Well, she might only be trained for me."

(Dan) "Well then perhaps we should go find out, yes?"

Azhultan> (Pondering with the idea) "Sure, but go easy on her. Don't want to break her. Physically, speaking.”

(Dan) "Thank you, do you want to watch?"

<Azhultan> "No, that's ok."

(Dan) "Okay then, see you in a while." He walked off into the tent. He emerged about fifteen minutes later.

(Dan) "Oh yeah, she's been broken for sure."

<Azhultan> "No resistance?"

(Dan) "None."

<Azhultan> "Damn, we did a number on her."

(Dan) (Laughing) "Yes, I think it was when I helped open her backdoor if you know what I mean... Few can stand that."

Dave came walking by, "Hey what's all the commotion about here, is this a meeting taking place here?"

(Dan) "Nah, I just had a go at her again."

(Dave) (To general) "I thought you said no more for today... Damn, I want a turn too, if he got one."

<Azhultan> (Reluctant) "Ok...You can have one too."

He walked inside the tent, about twenty minutes later, he came out, smiling

(Dave) "Damn, she's sure compliant! How'd you manage that!"

<Azhultan> "I guess it took my training on her."

(Dave) "Good job sir, you've gotten yourself a compliant one now."

<Azhultan> "I kind of miss the old days, though." He laughed

(Dan) "What do you mean?"

<Azhultan> "Oh, nothing. I was joking. All the struggle and fighting she would give."

(Dave) "What will you do when you have to let her go though?"

<Azhultan> "I'll regret it, but I'll have to put her back, either in the hands of Henry or society. Oh well, I won't be the loser in the end."

(Dan) "Won't do you mean, aside from you winning the war that is... You'll still lose her, yes? You could just keep her as your private slave."

<Azhultan>"True, I could do that."

(Dan) "You could just kill Henry, tell Roger that he died from the elements or was killed by bandits, and then keep Zeltzin as your private slave."

<Azhultan> "Right now, I don't want to do that, but if I have to, I will."

(Dave) "Well you should consider that Henry should be returned to Mississippi alive and well... As for the woman, whatever you want to do with her, it is likely of no concern to Roger."

<Azhultan> "That is also true. We could create some sort of story to make Henry give up on Zeltzin and then take Henry back to Mississippi."

(Dave) "What would you tell him?"

<Azhultan> "I don't know."

(Dan) "Tell him other rebels took her, you don't know where she is, or perhaps that she was killed?

<Azhultan> "Good plan."

(Dan) "Do you think it will work? He will keep searching for a long while yes?"

<Azhultan>"He'll keep searching, but we have to make it so he doesn't find her."

(Dan) "Okay, well perhaps when he gets here, you should hide her somewhere nearby, out of sight, and gag her well yes?"

<Azhultan> "Alright."

Dan and Dave excused themselves to leave the camp to attend meetings with their field commanders in other areas... The general was left to sit around and wait for Henry to be brought to the camp, which wasn't due for over 28 hours.

Quickly the General became very bored and did not know what to do.

He figured he could always go torment Zeltzin by telling her she was to become his slave and would not be released.

Walking into the tent he looked around to see what Dan and Dave had done to her.

She was lying there quietly, when he came in, she looked at him with silently pleading eyes, wanting to be left alone... But she still spoke up, "Are you here to..."

<Azhultan> "No, not at all. Actually, I'm here to tell you something else. I actually need you more then I thought before. It is very possible I will not release you, ever. I don't give a damn, what Henry thinks, either."

(Zeltzin) "But I thought you said you'd release me? Have I done something to anger you?"

<Azhultan> "No, like I said, you have become slightly more important to me then I originally thought."

(Zeltzin) "How so? You mean you just don't want to give me up, is that it?"

<Azhultan> "Exactly."

(Zeltzin) "Well Henry won't allow that."

<Azhultan> "And as I said, I don't care. We'll lie to him to keep you here."

(Zeltzin) (Not knowing what to say) "Well..... Is that all then? Can I sleep now?"

He wasn't about to let her sleep; he wanted to see how well the other two had broken her (he didn't know, but they shocked her with an improvised set of wires and a car battery until she complied and submitted to them)

(Zeltzin) "Would you please unite me, at least the ropes on my legs, they are digging into me, it hurts."

<Azhultan> "Sitting down next to her. So how did the others treat you?"

She shuddered at the thought; she just gave him a look and then said, "What do you think."

(Zeltzin) "Why are you here then? Just to tell me you're keeping me?"

<Azhultan> "Yes, and I want to know what the others did to you?"

She motioned with her head to the corner of the tent, there was a car battery under an old towel, the wires they used were still hooked up to it.

<Azhultan> (Shocked) "Ohh."

(Zeltzin) (Somewhat apathetic) "Have you come to do as they did?"

<Azhultan> "No, I wouldn’t use a battery."

(Zeltzin) "You have told me what you came to say, why then are you still here?"

<Azhultan> (Surprised) "Uh...Ok." He got up and said, "You still have a lot of strength left."

He then left.

The other two generals were still gone; he decided perhaps a few laps around the perimeter would be a good use of time.

Before he started his jog, she called to him from the tent; he turned to walk back in.

(Zeltzin) "General, please, would you untie at least my legs, the ropes are awfully painful."

He wondered if it was a ploy to escape.

However, feeling bad for her, he walked over to her bed and although not untying them, he loosened them up considerably.

(Zeltzin) "Thank you general."

<Azhultan> "Alright now, no funny business, though." He then went outside and began to walk towards the perimeter."

He walked for about twenty minutes and then decided to quicken the pace; he rapidly reached a rapid jog... He kept this up for over thirty minutes before he grew tired and decided he should rest some.

Leaning on a tree, he rested and took a breather. Although he could, he didn't run much.

The clouds above quickly turned dark and ominous, and then almost as quickly, they began to let down a torrent of rain. He decided it was best to return to the tent.

Azhultan got up and quickly walked back the tent. Although it was quite a ways off, he would be back soon.

After five minutes of running through torrential rain, he arrived back at the tent. He was soaking wet, drenched in the rain. Zeltzin looked at him, and then just looked back at the roof of the tent.

<Azhultan> "Do you know if the tent is leaking anywhere?"

(Zeltzin) "No general, there is a waterproof tarp over the tent, remember, and the tent itself has waterproofing."

<Azhultan> "Just checking."

(Zeltzin) "Don't like jogging in the rain, eh general?"

<Azhultan> "Would you?"

(Zeltzin) "No I suppose not, stupid question, sorry."

<Azhultan> "Anything going on here?"

(Zeltzin) "No general, just the same."

<Azhultan> "Ok."

(Zeltzin) "May I have something to eat, general?"

<Azhultan> "Sure, I'll get you a ration pack."

He spent the next fifteen minutes feeding her, making her realize she was dependent on him if she wanted to survive.

(Zeltzin) "Thank you general."

<Azhultan> "Sure, no problem."

(Zeltzin) "Question general... You're almost twenty years my senior, you don't plan to keep me forever, do you?"

<Azhultan> "True, I am older then you. I don't plan on keeping you forever, just as long as I can."

(Zeltzin) "Do you think that you can get away with it though? I mean it might be to your benefit to let me go, Henry would certainly pay you."

<Azhultan> "If it becomes that it would be more beneficial to let you go rather then keep you, I will ponder with the idea.

(Zeltzin) "You must really have had it out for me yes? Ever since I tried to stop your promotion, yes?"

<Azhultan> "If I had stopped your career with the AIA cold, would you be mad?"

(Zeltzin) "I was asked if you were politically reliable, have your recent actions, the civil-war you're waging, proven me correct?"

<Azhultan> "Very correct. In fact, your accusation that I was a double agent was correct too."

(Zeltzin) "So you admit, I was just doing my job trying to keep you from getting promoted."

<Azhultan> "It was true that you were doing your job. However, if your complaints were heeded, then I would have never had this chance."

(Zeltzin) (Sarcastically) "What a shame that would be."

<Azhultan> "Sarcasm is not an appreciated quality."

(Zeltzin) "Sorry."

A soldier came into the tent and handed the general a phone, it was a secure line to Roger Fabus.

(Roger) "Hello general, how are you?”

<Azhultan> (Surprised) "Premier Roger Fabus, it is a pleasure to talk to you."
"I am good."

(Roger) "That is good, is everything okay? Do you need anything?"

<Azhultan> "Oh, no, everything down here is fine. The troops are well equipped, moral is high, and we plan to execute our take over pretty soon."

(Roger) "Yes I need you to do me a personal favor."

<Azhultan> "Sure, what is it you want?"

(Roger) "When my brother gets there, because I've been informed he is in ANL... I want you to let his woman go, and send them both back here... Can you do that?"

<Azhultan> (Surprised, angry and displeased, but still polite) "Uhh. You want me to return both of them? I mean, I will, but do you want me to return them to Stalingrad?"

(Roger) "Just put them on a plane for Mississippi, Stalingrad will be fine."

(Roger) "They are both alive and well, yes?"

<Azhultan> "Yes, they are both alive. Henry is on the way to my camp here outside of Veracruz and Zeltzin is being detained."

(Roger) "And the woman? What of her?"

<Azhultan> "She is doing ok. Like I said, she is being detained, but is being feed well and given water."

(Roger) "And you're seeing that she isn't harmed, yes?"

<Azhultan> (Nervous) "Oh yes, she's being taken care of."

(Roger) "Good, just make sure nothing happens to her. My brother intends to marry her, if something happened to her, I'd never hear the end of it."

<Azhultan> "Alright, Roger. I'll make sure they are both well kept and protected. I will also make sure they are sent up to Mississippi right away."

(Roger) "Thank you... I'll see more supplies and weapons are sent, and possibly direct aerial assistance in the form of Su-25s."

<Azhultan> "Ahh, very good. All right, thank you very much. Is there anything else you want me to do for you?"

(Roger) "No, just be on your guard, my intelligence sources suggest two of your men, and three of the mercenaries, may try to assassinate you."

<Azhultan> "Thank you for the warning. I will watch my back."

(Roger) "One last thing, I wasn't quite sure... The woman, she is 100% white yes?"

<Azhultan> "Actually sir, I wouldn't know that." (He truly didn't.)

(Roger) (Nervous) "Well by our law one must be a certain percentage white to be legally classed as white. Perhaps you should ask her what percent she is."

<Azhultan> "One second, sir."

He turns towards the tent and opens it up. He then goes to Zeltzin and says "Alright, just out of curiosity, what is your ethnic percentage?"

(Zeltzin) "Why?”

<Azhultan> "Premier Roger Fabus wants to know."

(Zeltzin) "What does it matter? It shouldn't matter. Should it?" Well if he must know, 90% white, 10% native Indian."

<Azhultan> "Thanks." He then walks outside.

<Azhultan> (To Roger) "She said she is 90% white, 10 % native indian."

(Roger) "Oh dear my, this changes things."

<Azhultan> "How so?"

(Roger) "She is 3.75% beneath the requirement to be legally white."

<Azhultan> "And by Mississippian law, that is a problem?"

(Roger) "If I allowed her to marry my brother, it might sully the family name. Perhaps you can handle this yes? Just do something, don't kill anybody though."

(Roger) "You don't mind holding her there, for a while at least, do you?"

<Azhultan>"Well, no problem. I'll hold her here as long as you want.”

(Roger) "Well I have an idea, we might make an exception at let Henry marry her, but only if he calms down and stops causing trouble. Does that sound good?"

<Azhultan> "Sure. That sounds good."

(Roger) "Whatever you do, make sure nobody touches her... That would cause problems for everybody..."

<Azhultan> (Very nervous) "Ahh, ok, I'll make sure of that."

(Roger) "Good, because if something happened to her... Henry will be honor bound to find and kill all those who harmed her, thus is the way in Mississippi.. Just make sure nobody touches her and it'll all be fine though."

<Azhultan> "Ok, I'll prevent anyone from touching her."

(Roger) "Okay, good. Thank you, well you have a good day. I must be going, there is plenty of work to be done."

<Azhultan> "Good day to you, too."

Zeltzin looked at him, "A little to keep people from touching me isn't it? So, do you prefer to hang or is a firing squad more your thing?"

He was nervous, for the first time, she had him over a barrel.

Azhultan was speechless. He had no idea what to say.

Zeltzin laughed at him, "Well then general... It seems you suddenly have much greater use for me than just something to release your lust into, yes?"

<Azhultan> (Regrettably admitting) "Yes."

(Zeltzin) "You know I am less than pleased about being tied up..."

<Azhultan> (Cursing) "Alright, I'll untie you."

(Zeltzin) "That's a good boy."

She was clearly enjoying having him over the barrel.

He goes above her and begins to untie her. He then said, "What would make you be quiet about everything that has happened?"

(Zeltzin) (Sarcastically) "Have you found out a way to go back in time and not rape people?"

<Azhultan> "Well, what happened in the past has already happened. What would be ok to pay you off?"

(Zeltzin) "You think money can fix it? Ha! Henry has hundreds of billions, why would I even need your money."

<Azhultan> "Well, what would you want?"

(Zeltzin) "Whether or not this gets out all depends on what condition Henry arrives here in. Well and healthy, or beaten and bruised."

<Azhultan> "Alright. I'll make sure he doesn't have a scratch on him."

A soldier walked into the tent and said, "General sir, the squad bringing the man here, they say he is giving them trouble and want to know if you really need him alive... What shall I tell them?" Zeltzin looked at him, giving him a "You'd better know damn well what to tell him to tell them" look

<Azhultan> "I want him alive, no injuries. If there are on him, he must get the best medical treatment."

(Soldier) "Yes sir." He turned and left.

A few minutes later he came back into the tent, "Problem sir"...

<Azhultan> "How so?" (He was extremely worried.)

(Soldier) "The team brining him here, none of the six men are replying to attempts to raise them on radio, do you think he escaped?"

<Azhultan> "Well, if he did. Then we have a major problem. Have friendly search parties out for him. The only other possibility is interference from the storm."

Down the road, about twelve miles away, Henry loaded a fresh magazine into the pistol from a guard he just killed. He had slipped his fingers into a small pocket where he kept a universal handcuff key. When the rain started to intensify, he opened the cuffs so they didn't hear the sound, before they knew what happened, he grabbed a gun from a holster and had shot all six of them dead... He was now on the run, towards the camp.

A few minutes later, another soldier came in, "Sir, the guards that were with him, all dead, shot... He is nowhere to be found

<Azhultan> "Son of a bitch." He turned to Zeltzin. With much regret, he asked, "What do you suggest?"

(Zeltzin) "He'll be coming here... You'll know he is here when the perimeter guards start turning up missing."

Henry had jumped into the back of a supply truck heading down the road towards the camp; he hid under some army blankets... As the truck was getting about 1/4 mile from the camp, he stealthily jumped out... He found an MP-5SD in the truck and was now using that.

A soldier came walking into the tent, "General sir, we've lost contact with two guards on patrol on the western side of the perimeter." It had been about twenty-five minutes since Zeltzin told him what the signs would be.

<Azhultan> (To Zeltzin) "Seriously, how can I stop him!?!"

(Zeltzin) "When your guards are all dead, he'll stop."

A large explosion rocked the camp; somebody had just taken out a guard tower with an RPG.

<Azhultan> "Obviously I can't go for that. Is there (sighing) a diplomatic solution?"

There was gunfire all around the camp, the soldier in the tent, his radio was buzzing with activity; "Patrols all down, camp being stormed by unknown number of enemy, they seem to be all around..." it suddenly went dead.

A burst of fire tore into the tent, taking down the soldier standing near the general.

The camp had been stormed by 20 members of the Mississippian Special Air Assault Squads, men that were loyal to Henry.

<Azhultan> (Ducking down) "Damn it, Zeltzin, you gotta help me." He grabbed a radio and said "I NEED MEDICS NOW!"

There was no reply, only a few units shouting, "We're pinned down, they must outnumber us at least 10 to 1." (Actually the MSAAS is outnumbered by the camp 10 to 1)

The firing began to ease, and then stopped.

He could hear the flames burning around him; the camp was crashing down in ruins.

<Azhultan> "Damn it, how is this possible?"

The side of his tent suddenly ripped open, a soldier had sliced it open with a knife. Two quickly rushed in, training their MP-5s on him, another one came through the door of the tent, with an M-249 trained on him

<Azhultan> "Who are you?"

One of the operatives knocked him to the ground, and shouted, "Shut up!"

A man wearing a general's uniform walked in, he had a silver pistol in his holster.

(Henry) "Greetings General..." (Looking at Zeltzin) "Tell me general, what have you been doing in here?"

Ooc- ANL takes over Zeltzin role.

<Zeltzin> "Do you really want to know, Henry?"

(Henry) "Are you okay Zeltzin? Did he harm you?"

<Zeltzin> "You couldn't imagine! Once you can, get me to a hospital and have me inspected."

Henry pulled out his pistol and grabbed the general by the neck, shoving him against a filing cabinet, jamming the pistol against the side of his head, pinning him against the cabinet, "You sick disgusting shit, you're dead, you're dead!"

<Zeltzin> "And it wasn't him alone."

(Henry) "The entire camp is dead, who else could it be?"

<Zeltzin> "Did you run into two Mercenary Generals, named Dave and Dan?"

He let his grip on the general loose somewhat, making him think he was going to be let go. Then he smashed him back up against the cabinet, pulled his pants down, and shot him where it would hurt the most.

(Henry) "Mercenary generals, I know those names they're generals in the corporation operating here. But I have not seen them."

<Zeltzin> "They did more damage then the General could have ever done."

Henry let go of the general and let him collapse onto the ground, screaming in pain and agony, holding half of his penis in his hands, blood gushing out.

(Henry) "I'll find them and kill them then."

Henry took out a knife and carefully cut the ropes binding Zeltzin.

<Zeltzin> "Thank you Henry." She hugs him.

(Henry) "I'm sorry it took long getting here, there was a problem with the helicopter I was in, it crashed, I was captured by the rebels, had to escape, and link up with the members from other choppers."

(Henry) "What do we do with general dickless?"

<Zeltzin> "Henry, I realize now that you are honor bound to kill him. If you want to, go ahead, the world will be better without him. Let me go outside, though, if you are going to kill him."

<Azhultan> (Struggling to speak through the pain he is suffering) "Henry, don't kill me. Think of what Roger would think?"

They could all see a rage starting to build within Henry, a murderous fury that none had ever seen before. He was a man possessed, he was going to bathe his hands in the blood of his enemies, those who wronged him.

(Henry) (Without looking at the general, pulling out a 12 inch combat knife) "Zeltzin, I think you should leave."

<Azhultan> "You aren't a killer, Henry! Think about it."

<Zeltzin> "Alright, I'll leave." She gets up and gets out.

(Henry) (Turning to the general) "No I wasn't." (He sinks the knife into his stomach, deep, into the kidney, slicing it open) "But you made me one!" He pulls the knife up, until it hits a rib, then he takes it out, plunges it right for a lung, the general falls back, blood gushing out his mouth, rolling on the ground, he coughs and hacks. Henry pulls him up before he looks him straight in the eye and says, "Tell me general, was it worth it?"

The general can barely speak, he is in so much pain, and all he can do is motion with his head.

Henry's voice becomes calm and his demeanor friendly; he pats the general on the back, "Would you like a doctor?"

Azhultan, barely alive, weakly nods his head.

(Henry) "The only doctor you'll be getting is to perform your autopsy!" He jammed the knife into the side of the his neck as he screamed, "This is for her!"

The last thoughts in the general's mind where of regret... He should never had have touched Zeltzin, but he'd touch nothing ever again, he was dead. He collapsed on the floor of the tent, blood flowing freely from his many wounds, he was a mutilated mess. The knife still stuck in his neck, blood trickled out, staining the blade.

Henry walked out of the tent, and saw Zeltzin sitting down on a crate, she saw he was soaked in blood, his hands were drenched, his shirt stained from splatters of blood.

(Henry) "Zeltzin, will you be okay? Let's get you to a doctor okay?"

<Zeltzin> "So he's dead?"

(Henry) "Yes."

<Zeltzin> "Will we be going to Mississippi or stay in the ANL for a doctor?"

(Henry) "Whichever you want."

(Henry) "What about these Dan and Dave characters? They are nowhere to be found, could they have left the area to go elsewhere?"

<Zeltzin> "Possibly, but from what I heard, the ANL is beginning to have secret police forces take care of possible terrorists."

Henry picked her up in his arms and said, "Let's get you back to Mississippi... I'll come back after the two of them are dead."

<Zeltzin> "Would you like to meet my father, first?"

(Henry) "Yes, that would be a good idea. But would they mind coming to Mississippi at my expense and as my guests of course. I don't think you being in ANL in this current situation is a good idea."

<Zeltzin> "Alright, that sounds good."

It started to a rain, a furious deluge, as the rain washed over him, he realized his anger was spent. The blood was washed from his hands and body, he sighed and said to Zeltzin, "Do you want me to find and kill the other two, or should we just leave?"

<Zeltzin> "I have no idea where we can find the other two. I would like to kill the other two, as I'm sure with them still in command, they won't stop until they accomplish their mission, but I just want to get out of the camp."

A soldier shouted to Henry, "Sir, two jeeps and three trucks coming this way."

<Zeltzin> "Are they ANL government vehicles or more mercenaries?"

The two generals saw the camp in ruins, and they ordered their drivers to turn around, they ordered the 36 men from the 3 trucks to disembark and fight to buy time. But a MILAN slammed into the first truck, and an RPG into the second truck. Both erupted in flames of orange, red, and yellow, cooking alive all who were not killed in the blast.

A sniper with a 50 caliber Barrett knocked out the engines of both the jeeps.

The 12 mercenaries still alive from the one truck jumped out and fanned out, immediately going to ground after they found cover

It was a fierce fight; the mercenaries and the MSAAS were fairly well matched.

The mercenaries suffered nine dead when the MSAAS used MILANS and RPGS against them, combined with 20mm grenades from OICWs.

The remaining mercenaries faded off into the woods .The two generals attempted to run, but the sniper hit each of them in the legs, bringing them down

MSAAS operatives dragged the two wounded and screaming generals into the camp and dropped them down in front of Henry and Zeltzin.

(Henry) "Are these two them?"

<Zeltzin> (Red with pure uncontrolled rage) "I'll never forget them!"

(Dan) (His voice grows very nervous and afraid) "It was all just a misunderstanding!"

The two generals are shaking in fear, they can see blood flowing out of the ANL rebel general's tent, and they know what will likely happen to them.

(Dan) (His voice is pleading and his tone cowardly, betraying he lacks courage when cornered) "Zeltzin, I can call off the mercenaries, I can call them off! Tell him to spare me, please!"

<Zeltzin> "Henry, if you don't kill these bastards soon I'll strangle them both with my own hands."

(Dan) "No please, for the love of God no, have mercy!"

Dan had broken into tears, crying without control or hesitation, he continued to plead, "Please, I'll do anything, anything!"

(Henry) (Looking at Zeltzin) "Your call."

<Zeltzin> (To Dan) "You say you will call all the mercenaries to stop this coup?"

(Dan) "Yes, yes, anything!"

Dave was in total shock, but he nodded his head also.

<Zeltzin> "Tell them to pack their bags and get the hell out of here, they have no use here."

Dan started to speak as he hyperventilated, "Then.... ...ah...ah... When we.... ah.... ah.... ah... Tell them....ah....ah...ah... We can......ah.....ah.... We can... ah... Be free... to go... ahh.....ahh.. Right?"

<Zeltzin> "If you don't call him off, I will personally shoot you!"

(Dan) (Starting to breathe normally) "But when I can them... We can leave, right?"

<Zeltzin> "If your government will pick you up, then yes, you can go."

(Dan) "Okay, I'll do it."

<Zeltzin> "Then I'll let you live."

(Dan) "I need a radio."

<Zeltzin> "Henry, do you or your troops have a radio?"

Henry called a radioman over to him.

<Zeltzin> (To Henry) "Keep your gun trained on him, he might call for an attack on the ANL."

Dan made the calls to the units and told them the codeword for the operation being aborted and to return to Mississippi.

He said, "Initiate Operation Exodus."

Dave spoke up, "Confirmed, authorization Bravo-Gamma-Alpha-Zulu, initiate Exodus."

<Zeltzin> "I hope that was the command to leave. Henry, you know my government will want a mission briefing, you don't mind if I report in?"

(Dan) "Well Zeltzin, it's done. Can we go now? That's the deal."

(Henry) (To Zeltzin) "Yes, you can use the radio."

<Zeltzin> "Thank you."

She takes the radio and dials in the AIA's frequency, she then pushes the button and says "This is Lt. Commander Zeltzin, mission finished"

(Zeltzin) "Command, hello."

<AIA Command> "Confirmed, Lt. Commander, what is you status."

(Zeltzin) "Azhultan is dead, and the mercenary generals ordered their units to withdraw."

<AIA Command> "Do you know the status of the entire rebellion or no?"

(Zeltzin) "It appears likely to collapse with the general dead and the mercenaries set to leave."

<AIA Command> "Do you know where your coordinates are, so we can use the military to secure the area and we can send AIA and ISPA agents to remove terrorist remnants?"

Henry read her the coordinates and she relayed it via the radio.

They said they'd get helicopters there ASAP, and that was the end of the transmission.

(Dan) (Very nervous, shaking with fear) "So Dave and I will just be going now, right?"

<Zeltzin> "Yeah, get out of here."

The two of them started to walk backwards away from her, afraid if they turned their backs, she'd shoot them. They both tripped over a dead body and then freaked out as they feel. They jumped up, turned around, and started to run as fast as their legs would carry them.

(Henry) "So you're letting them go eh?"

<Zeltzin> "Like your father, I'm a person of my word, unless if circumstances prevent me. However, it was tempting to kill them."

(Henry) "You know you agreed not to kill them. I never did..." (He smiled)

<Zeltzin> "True. And I know you are honor bound to kill anyone who hurts me. It's your call."

(Henry) "What do you want me to do?"

<Zeltzin> "They'll get their own. Right now, I just want you to get me out of here."

He picked her back up and walked towards where an approaching helicopter was readying to set down, it was a CM MSAAS medical evacuation helicopter.

He set her down gently inside as the medics and even a doctor helped her get in, he climbed in and sat in a seat, while they started to examine her.

<Zeltzin> "I'm so glad you came. Plus, you saved my country."

Henry sighed, he felt he'd failed her by not getting there sooner, but the helicopter had crashed, who would have thought it possible. "Will you be okay Zeltzin?"

Had she been any normal person, she'd be suffering traumatic psychological damage, but her spy training had hardened her against the sort of torture she'd been forced to endure.

<Zeltzin> "Yeah, I'll be fine. I'll need to rest, but I'm sure I'll be ok. At least I am with you."

The doctor said to her, "I'm going to give you a mild sedative to help calm you down, okay?"

<Zeltzin> "Sure, that will be fine."

The doctor injected her with a needle, she soon started to feel drowsy, and she was drifting off into unconscious, Henry sat by her side, one hand firmly holding one of her hands, his other hand running through her hair. He watched slip into unconsciousness and then stayed by her side the entire time until the helicopter landed in Mississippi and the doctors and medics helped get her out and into the private hospital on Henry's estate where he was supposed to be under house arrest.

About twenty hours later, she woke up, she'd been totally exhausted, and combined with the sedative, she'd slept plenty.

She could tell she was in a private hospital, probably something Henry owned, he was in a chair leaning his head against the wall next to her bed, sleeping. She could tell he'd been there for quite a while.

<Zeltzin> "I see we are in Mississippi. Probably your house?"

Henry jumped up, "Oh Zeltzin, you're awake! How are you? Yes we're in Mississippi."

<Zeltzin> "I feel better. Glad I slept."

(Henry) "We're in my private hospital, do you feel well enough to move back to the main mansion?"

<Zeltzin> "Well, let me see." She gets up on her feet. "Yup, I feel fine."

(Henry) (Picking her up and smiling) "Well just to make sure you stay fine, for now, I'll have to carry you there."

<Zeltzin> "Ahh, Henry, you never cease to amaze me."

Henry smiled at her then started the walk to the mansion, opening all the doors by either using his foot or turning around and bumping them with his back. After about ten minutes of walking, he arrived at the main mansion, he walked up the stairs into the mansion, still carrying her, and then went said, "Since we've had such rough times lately, with security and possible spies... What say we stay in the bunker for a while, yes?"

<Zeltzin> "Sure, that sounds good."

Henry carried her down the stairs to the basement, activated the secret wall to the corridor leading to the bunker elevator, and then went to the elevator. After the few minutes, they were down in the bunker.

He set her down on the bed in the main bedroom and then walked towards the door, "I'm going to go get some sleep, I'll be in the main guest room if you need anything."

<Zeltzin> "Right, Henry. If anything happens or I need anything, I'll let you know."

Henry searched all the other rooms over, top to bottom, just to make sure they were okay. Then he pulled up a chair outside of the room Zeltzin was in, and he leaned back against the wall, sleeping there, in that fashion, rather than in another room.

She got up and was curious what the bunker was like, she wondered out into the main hallway, leaving her room, she saw Henry right next to the door, sound asleep, a rifle leaning next to him.

Henry sensed somebody was near him, he jumped up, "Oh Zeltzin, you startled me."

She wondered why he was sleeping in a chair outside her room.

<Zeltzin> "Sorry. I was wondering why you were sleeping outside."

(Henry) "Just in the outside chance anybody gets down here, if anybody wanted to get here, and found a way that is..."

<Zeltzin> "It's a safe precaution. Are there still guards outside or no?"

(Henry) "There are thousands of guards here yes. And granted this bunker is hidden, the entrance concealed and locked tight, the elevator shut-off for now... I just want to keep you safe."

She thought he was being over cautious and she'd much rather have him sleeping with her; she liked him close to her.

Henry was still kicking himself for not getting into ANL sooner.

<Zeltzin> "Well, if you want to stay out here, you can. But I haven't spent much time with you at all."

Henry stood up from the chair, and then nodded, "Okay", and then walked into the room.

She walked in after him and closed the door, she then said to him "Henry, I truly a glad you saved me. Seriously, you saved my life."

Henry sighed and said, "Yes, but I should have been quicker getting there, I could have saved you pain and torture at the hands of those beasts."

<Zeltzin> "At least you got there. You know, you could have just stayed here and not have broken the house arrest order. You could have supported your government's action in my nation and not stopped them. But you did, and you saved me, and possibly millions."

(Henry) "Staying here was not an option with you in danger."

<Zeltzin. "And I am glad you didn't. You did what you could, and you succeeded in saving me."

(Henry) "I've certainly killed more people than I'd ever have cared to. Dozens..."

He could still feel the blood on his hands, he'd washed them to the point of the skin cracking, but still he couldn't get rid of the feeling...

<Zeltzin> "Henry, it's ok. What happened then happened then. You did what you had too."

(Henry) "Yes, I know... I'm very tired now though, can we rest for a while?"

<Zeltzin> "Please, sleep as much as you want to."

The phone in the bunker bedroom rang; Henry had already fallen onto the bed and was out like a light.

Zeltzin answered it.

(Arthur Frick) "Henry, hello, are you there?"

(Frick) "Well then just tell him when he wakes up, his father has resumed the premiership, Roger is sick in Alexandria with Tetanus of pneumonia, and is doing quite bad."

(Frick) "Oh yes, Henry is no longer under house arrest."

<Zeltzin> "Alright, I'll tell him that."

<Zeltzin> "Ahh, ok. He'll be glad to hear that."

(Frick) "I must be going... Bye." (He hangs up)

Zeltzin put the phone on the hook and then gets back to being comfortable in the bed.


She moved close to Henry and pulled him towards her, hugging him tightly, he was sound asleep, and when he woke, she' have good news for him... But for now, she too would sleep... There would always be time in few hours to tell him the news, for now, he needed to sleep...

The ANL rebellion had been crushed, and she had indeed warned the general what Henry would do to him, but he laughed it off... Now he was too dead to laugh.

The two mercenary generals emptied out their CM bank accounts and were last seen boarding planes for Venezuela.

In a few hours, Zeltzin knew she and Henry would awaken and then she'd tell him the good news... In a few hours...
