"This is Briana Wadderworth, coming to you live from the international news channel 227"

"In an unprecendented discovery today, a scientific research group from the UN has discovered a small alien artifact beneath the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. As you can see by these gathered ships, quite a crew has assembled."

Camera pans across the rusted deck of a boat and onto the waters, where a motley collection of boats can be seen. several lased-togather boats have formed a small lab to test the results, and the other boat float about in a circular pattern.

"The dicovery, which is of a small object thought to be a religious text, is comprised mostly of a water-resistant filament. How it works, however, no one knows."

A jet zooms overhead, and a deep rumbling can be heard over the sounds of the engine and boat.

"What was that?"

A bomber drifts overhead and drops a payload of several cluster bombs. The boats see the incoming projectiles and desperately try to escape. However, it is quite obvious that the boats will not get away in time.

"This is horrifying! A bomber has just dropped a payload of bombs towards the research site! We will keep broadc..."

Explosion

*Static*

OOC - My first post and first RP topic. Thought I might start off with something lively. I hope it is OK.

A nearby House Gharmalin , the leading house of the corporations that lead The Dominion of Gharm, battle cruiser has witnessed the event, unsure what to do they stand idle, sending word back to their higher ups to see if they should assist..
Of course, the sailors are much different than their infantry, and the ship makes a slow lumbering move towards the far off explosion site.

A small picket boat moved in, armed with RPGs. The crew onboard the boat fired their rockets at any ships not completely sunk. Several ships exploded into fireballs, and others simply sunk.

The picket boat was identified as having different markings than those of the jets or the bomber.

This was now an international incident.

The ship, which was labeled as "Gharm Limit", turned it's massive main cannons to the picket boat, the sailors follow one simple rule, overkill is the only good kill, it fires 1 salvo towards the pickets, trying to save what's left of the neutral ships.

On the horn of the ship, a voice is blaring.
"Cease and desist!"

Whats happening over there? Were sending some D77-T Pelicans and 092-P Sharks. well pick up any survivors and elimainate any hostile



MESSAGE ENDED

The crewmen lept out of the picket boat as the salvo hit it, causing a massive explosion, which sent out a shockwave powerful enough to rock the boats nearby. However, several of the unknown assailants were still alive, and they swam beneath the waves towards the Gharm Limit and several other neutral boats nearby, hull breaching explosives in hand.

On the other side of the Gharm Limit, several crewmen were picking up survivors, including a raggedy newswoman and a soaked cameraman, complete with footage in hand, much to the surprise of the crewmen and the survivors around them. Why was the footage so important?

"Take me to the UN," she demanded.

"GHARM LIMIT" sends out a message to all neutral craft hit..

"If there are any survivors, use emergency means to contact us..you will be protected by the Dominion of Gharm.."

The ship floats silently, looking for any survivors, it's crew on deck...watching...

The crew around the news people: "We're bussy trying to save people! It'll have to wait!"

FROM: High Technocrat Karl Gradius

Well, I've just seen this atrocity on my personal television. I'm rather surprised myself. However, the matter at hand right now is to find out who those assailants were. Any assistance would be appreciated. The Gharm Limit is handling the survivors.

MESSAGE ENDED

OOC: For future notice, this is an open RP, and the scientists were a motley crew from UN affiliated nations.

One sailor from the side: "Hey! what's that guy got!? He's from that small boat we blasted! Oh no! he's got an explosive! Je..."

He's cut off as the small device explodes on the hull, causing the cruiser to lurch to the right, the ship can stay boyant, but with a hole, it wont go anywhere..

The captain speaks via horn..

"Battle stations, crews to guns, take out those damn nuisances! take atleast one alive!"

A burst of explosions tore through a neutral scientist ship as the apparent assassins attempt to kill off the remaining survivors. However, one scientist managed to jump into the water and grabbed an attacker by the throat, knife in hand, and dragged him into a life raft. He began to row towards the Gharm, after he knocked out his prisoner, of course.

Rifles were brought to the side and pointed at the assailent.

"HANDS UP! OR DIE!"

The captain made an appearance, walking towards the reporters..

"Aye! I hope this wasnt your honeymoon."

"Nah, just onscene making a report. Oh, that reminds me. COULD YOU PLEASE FUCKING GET US TO THE UN!" the reporter screamed in his face.

The captain simply stood there as the obviously enrages woman railed against him. There were several disparaging comments about ancestry and sexual temperment as well.

The captain simply turned off his ear augmentations and walked away. Headed to the side of the ship.. The first thing they did to that little life boat was gas the occupants and put them both to sleep, and let the lifeboat float to the side of the cruiser, then they could be hoisted up.

"bring them in!"

OOC - Bumpity bumpity bump!

Gharm limit begins sending out emergency broadcasts to any other seacraft..

"Terrorist activity in area, move away! move away!"

The terrorist and his prisoner are brought aboard, the terrorist handcuffed to a missle on a missle rack at the back of the ship. The captain makes sure the prisoners health is good, and sends him to the infirmiry...

"about that terrorist..."

At that moment, a Thream moved slowly in the water. Its crew where Legionaries, wearing their longswords at their sides, and having the new bullet proof sheilds. The Slaves rowed faster at the explosion, their oars hitting the water one after the other, the three oar rows meaning the splash was constent. Three men beat a drum, and the slaves rowed to their own master. Commander Auliss stood on the deck, and watched the fire ahead. His men pulled out their pistols, the only weapon that seemed to be modern, and searched the water. THe ship raced towards Gharm Limit, and it held up the flag of peace, the Commander waving his arms.

"What the hell happened here?" HE yelled to the captin
