OOC: Everyone else stay out, i'm teaching him to RP. Tags welcome, nothing else though. Ok, here's the RP, I can only post forces later because i'm not at home right now but here's the first part. You post afterwards and i'll corect it ok?

IC:
Cowlquape looked impatiently at the fax machine, he was meant to recieve a fax half an hour ago. It seemed that he could never find a secretary who knew what she was doing. The fax machine whirred into life and he faced it anxiously.
*Fax to PM Cowlquape Pentephraxis*
**********************************************************
Mr Prime Minister,
A certain nation has appeared on the international stage. Due to security reasons, and the chance that it might be being read I cannot name the nation, but I strongly recommend military action. They could be a threat to us in the future, therefore we should act now. If you give us the go-ahead we will launch an invasion against them. They are a small nation, so we needn't send over a full force. A few thousand troops and some tanks and planes should do it. I have a plan, it may work, but it will be risky. Please advise ASAP,
General Varis Lodd
**********************************************************

ring ring... ring ring...
"Hello, General Lodd speaking. Who is it?"
"Hello Varis, this is Cowlquape, how are you?"
"I am fine, I assume you are calling about the fax, so here's my idea..."
*she finishes explaining the idea*
"Genius Varis, as usual, people like you make me change my mind about women."
"I am honoured, I shall call their government immdiately."


ring ring... ring ring...
"hello, this is General Varis Lodd speaking on behalf of Sanctaphrax, we have heard of your nation and would be inteested in opning up diplomatic ties with you, if you accept then we will send over a delegate immediately."

"Good day, the people of Samstag have much awaited a diplomatic tie with a larger country, I will hand you over to the minister of Foreign affairs."
*phone line connects to Foreign affairs office*
"hello? Ah, General Varis Lodd, good day to you. A diplomatic tie you say? We greet this warmly, send a delegate and we will make them feel welcome."

OOC: Very good, thats a brilliant start.
in case you're confused. IC=In character OOC= Out of character
IC:
"Thank you very much, our delegate is taking off as we speak, he'll be arriving in about 4 hours, he's in a 7E7 Dreamliner with "Sanctaphrax EA" on the side." (Executive Aircraft)

Secret IC:
The 7E7 was sitting in a hangar, being loaded up with SS troops.
The delegate was Foreign Minister Simeon Xintax (pronounced zintax) and he watched as the plane filled up. 25 troops were on board, each with a sniper rifle. Their plan was simple. They would take over the control tower of the airport and open it up to Sanctaphrax aircraft. The Foreign Minister would have a earpiece which would look like a hearing aid and when he heard "control tower 1" he'd claim to need to go to the toilet and hide, when other aircraft filled with SS soldiers would land and take over the airport. They'd rescue him from his hiding place.

OOC2: Remember, you have no idea that this is going to happen. Skip 4 hours and have tower giving him permission to land.

*four hours later*
"This is control tower 1, 7E7 Dreamliner: Sanctaphrax EA requesting permission to land. We've given the go ahead."

Minister of Foreign Affairs "Very good, let's make the negotiacions short, I have a golf meeting with the prime minister I can't afford to miss. I'll meet with the minister myself. Send a car round."

"Yes, sir."

*The Minister of Foreign affairs starts to drive round to meet Foreign Minister Simeon Xintax*

OOC: very nice

IC:
"Thank you tower, landing ETA 1 minute."

The Dreamliner touched down and Simeon Xintax stepped off the plane. He was greeted by the foreign minister and they entered the terminal together, on their way to his car. In the meantime, the SS agents, who were dressed like Samstag bodyguards made their way stealthily towards the tower. They broke the door down with their gun ends and entered. They pointed the guns to the tower controllers and spoke into the microphone.
"This is Nation 1, allowing all flights from Nation 1 to land."

The planes, 777's touched down one after the other.

"Control Tower 1, Control Tower 1" The noise sounded inside Simeon's head.

"Excuse me gentlemen, can I please be excused for a minute to go to the toilet, thank you"

He headed in the direction of the toilet, then once he turned the corner he headed to the meeting point that had been arranged with the SS.

OOC: here's the link to the storefront, buy something if you want.

"Looks like our Sanctaphraxian friend is having a little trouble" jokes the Minister.

At this moment the news come through to the minister about what has happened to the control tower

"What's going on? I thought this was a diplomatic meeting."
"It appears, sir, that this was an arranged attack." says the Samstag guard who had seen the on-goings in the tower.
"Quick, to my car, I have a phone in there. I shall phone the Ministry of War."
"Very good sir, and what about the Foreign Minister?"
"Leave him, maybe if we take no casualties we can come to some agreement."

*The Minister of Foreign Affairs and his enterage rush to the car to phone the Ministry of War*

Simeon saw the foreign minister run away,
"damnit, we could have used an important hostage, never mind, this'll do just as well"
A crashing noise was heard as SS personnel entered the building. The planes were still unloading and as the troops all left, a ramp opened up at the bottom of the plane. Suddenly, the silence in the airport gave way to utter panic as people saw the first Merkava roll off and patrol around the airport. It was followed by 50 more in each aircraft, leading to 200 Merkava IV tanks. People started running for the exit until the SS regained control by blocking all the exits.
"People, you will all be allowed out as soon as we recieve your word from the goverment that no attempts will be made to attack this building. It is not our intention to kill civilians."

*secret message to Samstag*
**********************************************************
We have control of your airport that has civilians inside. We will release them as soon as we get your word that you will not attack the airbase.
**********************************************************

More planes were seen in the distance, and they came in to land. They were quickly identified as F/A-18 Jets.

*As the minister of war puts down the phone a tall figure clears his throat and starts to speak*

"It's worse than we thought" says the figure.

"Sir! I wasn't expecting you here so soon, I thought you had prior arrangements"

"My people come first. We have just recieved word from Sanctaphrax that they won't hurt any civilians if we can ensure that the airbase will not be attacked."

"What do they want from us, sir?"

"Their motives," the figure sighs, "are unclear. There's no way of getting in or out of the airport, they've blocked all entrances."

"So, what do we do?"

"Send them a message ensuring the safety of the airport on the grounds that we demand to know what is going on."

"Straight away sir!"

*The MoW rushes into his office and starts dictating to his secretary. The figure slowly walks out of the office. As he reaches his car, an identical car ( Standard Samstag Official mobile facility) pulls up. A frantic Minister of Foreign Affairs arrives. Both cars drive away.*

Cowlquape smirked as he recieved the message, he sent it on to Varis Lodd who promptly called Samstag.
"Yes hello, this is General Varis Lodd, I heard that you DEMANDED to know what was going on. Well, we didn't want to do this, but you are in no position to demand anything. I'll tell you anyway, we're attacking you. Now agree to the terms, or else." She closed the line and leant back in her chair.

*The MoFA (minister of foreign affairs) walks into the MoW's office*

"What's been decided? What's happening? Why were we not warned?"

*The MoW turns around and puts the phone to his right.*

"We have assured them of no attacks on the airport, they are invading us, we weren't warned because they didn't tell us. Now shut up."

*He picks up the phone again*

"Yes, yes we do agree. No attacks on the airport. I think you're making a terrible mistake here..."

*The phone goes dead, all the power goes out too*

"What's happening now?" asks the MoFA

"I told you to shut up. We're being invaded, the first thing someone does when they invade is to make the people they're invading afraid. The power cut will be momentary most likely"

"Where's the prime minister?"

"He just left"

*The whole of Samstag is in panic, the power is back but the phone lines are still down.*

*The prime minister is making a speech*

"I will not lie to my people, we ARE under attack. The invasion was unknown, so far there have been no casualties, I emplore people to stay at home. Do not panic....."

The people were let out of the airport until only army personnel were left. All around the airport tanks patrolled and Chapparel SAM hummers positioned themselves at the perimiters. The planes launched, 10 at a time for patrols. The war was on.

OOC: Well done so far, i'm going now but i'll be on again later this evening.

OOC: ok see you later

"Are all the troops here?"
"Yes, here's the list of everything we sent"

100 F/A-18
100 Eurofighter
20 B2
100 RAH-66 Comanche
20 Black Hawk
100 Chapparel mobile SAM units
200 Merkava IV
200 Abram M1A2
50 Humvee scout vehicles
4000 troops

-tag. Nice going Samstag. ; )

Slowly, once it was ensured that nobody was spying 20 of the hummers were released in different directions. All of them were plain white so that they wouldn't be suspected. They drove through the cities and towns, reporting back on everything they saw.

OOC: sorry i haven't replied in a while, haven't had the chance to.
IC: "This is Alpha 4 requesting permission to go"
Dim lights lit up the only other airport in Samstag, the less popular one. A counter-attack on the nation of Sanctaphrax is being prepared.
"Permission denied Alpha 4, no flights in or out of Samstag 'til direct say-so from the prime minister."

The sun was beginning to set, the large mountains surrouding southern Samstag glowed with a red aura from the reflecting lake. This was usual, the tanks trundling across the western bank of the lake however, was not. All artillery was to be gathered to a rendevue point to try and scare the Sanctaphraxian military into reconsidering. It was a long shot, but it was the only chance they had of survival.
