Twenty Minutes from Han's Military Base
Highfather Rail Company Rail Line #122109

Clack clack, clack clack, clack clack...

The soothing noise of the train had almost caused Hazim Nezam to fall asleep. He was an enlisted 19-year-old, just joined up with the 24th Airborne Division. He had a family back home: a mom and dad, two sisters, and a little brother. Thinking back, he remembered how proud his father had been as he clapped Hazim on the shoulder, right before he left for Highfather Army Base. God... Hazim thought, I can still remember the smile on his face...

Hazim's unit had been called up by the High Military Command to move to Han's Military Base, in the West. Hazim had never been to the West half of TBD before, in fact, he was from the Mountain region.

Hazim's thoughts were brought abruptly to a halt as the door to his and three other member of his units' compartment was slid open. In the doorframe stood his commanding officer, 2nd Leuitenant Utam Nargawi. "We're about twenty minutes from the station, boys. Get your uniforms on. I'll come back when we have five minutes left."

The men in the compartment silently nodded in acknowledgement. Turning around, Hazim took his fatigues and M25 Sniper Rifle out of his pack. He was ready, but for what he had no idea...

Han's Military Base
Pier 6
BSS Glory, Sacarrach-Class Megaboomer Nuclear Warfare Submarine

The BSS Glory had just docked. Her captain, Jarid Al-Kardim, was on the bridge.

"Check and clear the Tridents. When you're done with that, do the same to the mini-Ronas," said Al-Kardim, addressing a junior officer.

"Aye, Captain," responded the officer, turning back around to his station and punching in a few keys.

"Ensign Reign, are we in position?"

"Aye, sir, the Glory is docked. We are surfaced and the land crew is mooring her."

"Very good," he turned to the rest of the crew. "Does anyone know why we are here?"

Several heads shook, others contemplated. Finally, no one came up with an answer.

"Good. Loose lips sink ships."

OOC: DA, this is pretty much insurance for the conference. :) Try something, it might be a fun RP.

Ooc- I'm not sure what is going on here... The conference is on Fabus Island, the island is surrounded by elements of the naval forces currently in the region, and the island is guarded well. Are you trying to send troops to the Island itself or just on standby in TBD to say, attack our "embassy" (base) in TBD if we do something to your diplomat?

OOC: From what we extracted from your officer in the other thread, we know about the base IC-ly. So, I put standby troops in Highfather, and I got some divisions moving out to Han's so I can do some quick hit-and-run work if I need to. Notice that Hazim (one of my characers, first one) was from an airborne division, and the other one was from a nuclear missile sub. So, if you were to start something with the diplomat, we would send a message.

P.S.: The missiles on board the boomer sub are sea-modified Ronas. Drill missiles.

If y'all want to go ahead with the RP, just tell me.

Ooc- You've known about the base since before William and Sylvia fled, it's a 400,000 acre compound, with 200,000 soldiers in it, thousands of tanks, hundreds of planes, and it's labeled an "Embassy" officially, thanks to a William era law. How couldn anybody not realize it's a base? Anyway, I'm on MSN and AOL right now if you want to take bout all this here stuff.

OOC: Yes, but Craig honored his deal not to check out the embassy. So do y'all wanna start something with the diplomat? Should make for an interesting RP.
