0673 Hours; Somewhere near Engels; New Portugal

Across the felled St. Xavier Tropical Preserve, the Dominion had plans. A large industrial complex was to be constructed to increase nationwide production by 300%, or so they said. It was lies. Always lies to keep them working. For the Children. For the Future. For the Dominion.

A railroad was to be built through the nature preserve turned industial park. The Dominion soldiers dragged out their labor by a leash. A leash of coercion and steel. The caucasian and hispanic ethnic prisoners had lash marks across their bare backs. Many were lean beyond health, not eating for weeks as most of the newly instated rations were reserved for the soldiers, or were taken from the prisoners at the very whim. Already, the rotting stench of death hung in the night air as bodies were piled into the ditches on either side of the unfinished railroad. Bodies, emaciated and bloated from exhaustion, stroke, or starvation.

It wasn't just men either. While the men were usually the ones given the manual labor, when time constraints came in even the women had to come in. Women and children were crammed into disgusting "farms", creating weapons, textiles, and other meaningless items for the natives to enjoy as the proletarians suffered. Barb wire and armed security was common sight, and the perimeters around the ethnic prisoners were tight. There was no escape. Thats what they said. There is no escape, pasteface.

"Harder! Put your spine into it! Or I'll rip it out and give it to someone who deserves one. WORK!"

With a crack of the barbed cato o' nine tails, the man stumbled onto his knees. The soldeir stood over, blood on his hands, lashed out from the wound he inflicted.

"I said WORK!"

Another lash swiped over the man's back, his grip on the hammer faltered. He couldn't remember where he came from. He didn't remember anything, just pain. He gripped the hammer. He opened his eyes, looked at his hands, blistered, bleeding, worthless. No more...

"Get to wo-"

Without a sound the man swung the hammer behind him to his overseer, going straight into his head. The skull cracked and shattered, half of the mauled face caving in wit hthe immense force the man pushed into it. Blood gushed out from the huge wound, upon the Hispanic man. With a wuick breath he threw the hgue sledgehammer at the nearby soldier who had begun to raise his gun. Despite the inaccuracy of throwing such a large weapon, it knocked him clear to the ground with a grunt. Swiping up the Ak-47 that was being used to coerce the worker, he was to overthrow the opressor with their own tool. He spun around and fired out in a mindless spray. Without thinking, he fired down to his feet, breaking the chains that held him here to this godforsaken place.

Soldiers by the dozen fell, and the railrod was coated with blood. Shouts of freedom and back to the old days cried out as New Portugal rose against the Dominion.

This is a beginning to an end.

There are a few typos throughout the story. But I think it's a pretty nice job.

((OOC: Are the 'proletariats' leading a communist revolution, or just a revolution in general?))
[OOC: The Dominion is socialist as well, so its mainly a revolution against the oppressive authoritarian government. Of course, if the revolution is successful, they will go back to a Democratic Socialist nation.]

Can I have more information on the specific sides? This might be a worthwhile RP to participate in
[OOC: Currently the nations that provide most of the support to the revolution are the Austar Union, Grenval, and Katangara. Grenval and Katangara are in the south, getting ready to siege the port city of Suva through the Dominion blockade with the help of the former Hadulan republic's navy that remained after the Dominion took control. Kordo is the main ally of the Dominion, but has retreated from the naval battle near the Grenvali owned territory south of Hadula.]

1031 hours; St. Xavier Tropical Preserve; New Portugal

Across the St. Xavier Production Camp #4, chaos erupted as the laborers followed the example of that man. The man who said there will be no more. None of the Hadulan soldiers were left standing as the laborers with almost infallible efficiency secured the labor camp. The man who first stood up and struck against the soldiers name was Javier Darigo, and he soon assumed command of the New Portugal resistance centered from the complex.

Soon, the horde was amassed, and they were quickly set to work. The Dominion had jammed all radio waves due to the Grenvali and Katangaran invasions expect from the south, so there was no communication. They needed to work together and fortify themselves before the Dominion closed on their location. They set off to seal off the camp and fortify the surrounding perimeter, as some of the more competent laborers were quickly chosen by the band as leaders, devising a plan to retake New Portugal. But how?

1046 hours; St. Xavier Tropical Reserve [Communications Building]; New Portugal

The communications module had been instated after the radio jamming grid was placed over the Dominion to disrupt revolutionary and invader communications. Kassandra, a rather tall and worn woman, took the hammer she used to kill dozens of Hadulan soldiers, still crusted with the fresh blood of the fascists. He huge arms seemed like they were to cave in as she hoisted up. For weeks, she had nothing to subsist on. For weeks, she suffered. For weeks, she cried.

No more.

With a huge swing of the arms the hammer came crashing into the doorway into the communications module. The wood seemed to disintegrate as a cloud of dust and splinters exploded for the doorway and the door broke into fifteen different directions. Closing her eyes she rand through, pressing through the remaining wood and into the dark communications module. A dim light illuminated the small space from a hanging light bulb above her, about to short out. On the chair to the surveillance system used to control the laborer's movements sat the unmoving figure of a Hadulan woman, a soldier in the Dominion's army. As Kassandra stepped forward, slowly, almost disturbed by the cold, unmoving of the chair in front of her. The accompanying members of the company behind her hesitated, but began to step in. She reached out and turned the chair, and she saw a wire in the hands of the twisted corpse, apparently she had strangled herself rather than face the punishment God had in store for her. Kassandra, with almost little care for anything, jerked the soldier of the body and pulled it from the chair. She then ordered her men to spread out and look for supplies, and told Habus to get work on the surveillance and keep track of the camp. She turned her attention to a device close to the corner, apparently connected to a wire that led into the ground.

A telegraph? Do people even use these anymore?

She stepped forward, placing her hammer onto the side of the wall, and looked over the device. She saw that it was on, and the irons were hot from constant use. That meant, the Dominion was notified by the Communications Officer that lay now rotting on the floor. So it would only be a matter of time before they attacked. Kassandra stepped back a bit. Did this mean they were defeated?

No it didn't.

With a gripped fist she stepped forward. A Morse code chart stood above the telegraph. She pulled up a stool and started furiously working, and sent a message out of Hadula, hoping it would reach someone. Anyone.

Distress call from St. Xavier Production Camp #4 in New Portugal. We have liberated the laborers from the Dominion force here, but we are now being surrounded by Dominion soldiers and we are pressed for supplies and men. We have little chance against the Dominion's powerful weaponry, and whoever gets this, please, we need your help. We have no time. The coordinates are included in the telegram, please, hurry, as they will undoubtedly intercept this message in the lines, but we fear they know we are here as we make this message.

The message shot through the lines, and headed into the International communications tower in the main island in Central Hadula. Atop the high mountains, the Dominion created the satellite in which they could communicate efficiently with other nations. Little did they know that this one exception to the grid of protection around them would be exploited unknowingly by their enemy.
