Today at 4:53, four shoppers at a local Green-Mart became severely dehydrated and collapsed. It was a rather hot day and the three had been out together since ten that morning, walking in the park, sightseeing, and other outdoor activities. They had been drinking plenty of water and did not partake in any vigorous excersize. Blame was put on a hole in the Ozone layer, but satellite readings found none. Green Sun doctors and scientists are baffled at their sudden collapse. Foreign aid is now being asked for. Please send and detectives, doctors, and scientists you may spare in our cause.

Additional things: The three women's distant relatives have been linked to foriegn outlaws, including terrorists. One woman's family has a history of diabetes.

Curious, the United Empire of Colerica will reserve a section of the Colerican Imperial Intelligence Agency to look into it. We will also consider dispatching an investigative unit to Green Sun.

Earnest Equenant, the owner of Green Products, the only millionaire buissness in the country, also the President of Green Sun, is searching through his mess of a desk in the Green Home, the Presiden't official residence for its leader. He had a satellite scan of Green Sun somewhere...Not that it would help. He had studied it three hundred times, he counted. Green Sun was the most enviromentally-safe nation in the whole region! Recently portions of the rain forests have been taken down for mining, but no damage has been done. For every acre that they took down, they planted another two! The rain forest clearing certainly wasn't the problem.
"Sir? Agent Ishmael Kort is here to see you," his secretary, Miranda Equenant, told him. He had been sweethearts with his wife for years. Earnest went into buissness in the new nation and she had trained to be his secratary. Three days after Green Products was founded, he became president and married her.
"Oh, yes, please let him in," he told her. Agent Kort was a skinny young man who was head of the CIA in the nation. He was the best they could offer. Bright young man, just a bit shabby of the bravery and muscle.
"Sir? We've searched the whole city for any foul play in the incident."
"And?"
"We found something. In a vacant house across the street, we found cigarrettes all around the place, and as you know, there is no tobacco companies hailing from or into the country. They must be from another nation. We also found small radiation levels in the building, so there may have been some sort of device used that is linked to radiation."
"Radiation...Well, if they came to here from another country, they couldn't have brought it here...What do you think, Ishmael?"
"It may have something to do with the mines, sir. We're not sure. At this moment I'm short of men."
"Well, I just hope our news ally, Colerica, can help us..."

((OOC: BTW this is an RP, it won't let me edit the thread's title. Anybody's help is gladly accepted.))

((OOC: I don't like bumping...But I want to do something...))

Please accept the sympathies of the Sweet Horne people and of her president. I, president Josh Bonner, stand ready to aid Green Sun in any way possible. One of my militaries quick reaction NBC teams can deploy to anywhere on the planet in under 24 hours. Let us know if you need any other help solving the situation or cleaning up any contaminants. Please accept our condolences.

I need this situation investigated first before any military action is taken.
((OOC: This is an RP people, treat it like one.))

Earnest waiited impatiently. Two nations have said they would help an no help has come.
What is taking so long? he thought to himself. Have they already forgotten? I know we're small but all nations are noticeable. We don't have an opponents...People in our nation don't like to compete...And the recent strikes haven't resulted in any violence....Oh, what is the problem?
There was a knock at the door.

"Yes?"

"It's me, hon. I'm going home now. Don't stay too late."

"Oh, hold on, I'll come home with you tonight. This incident along with the strikes and the high crime rate is just tiring..."

"Okay. I'll be out in the car."

Earnest shuffled through his belongings, grabbing his briefcase, jacket, beeper, and cell phone. He exited the room, followed by his bodygaurds, and went onto the elevator. His bodygaurd pressed the 'Floor 1' button and down it went. Earnet closed his eyes, thinking.

Suddenly, the elevator stopped.

"What the hell?" he shouted. Suddenly his cell phone rang. He answered it, staring at his bodygaurd.

"Hello?"

"Earnest Equenant?"

"Yes?"

"I heard you a have a bit of a problem. I believe we can help you with it."

"Alright, who are you?"

"Someone you know, but don't remember."

"Refresh it, then. Who are you?"

"I can't tell you until I have your trust."

"Well, I won't trust you if you don't tell me who you are."

"Then you'll not know who I am."
Earnest closed the phone, annoyed. The elevator didn't start. The phone rang again.
"What?"

"I am only trying to help. We may have an answer to your problem."

"Entice me, then."

"Recently we have had a bit of a problem ourselves. Internal ones, you can understand."

"Rebellions. That means you're a nation. Which one do you represent? Do I have to go to the UN?"

"That won't be needed. As I was saying, these rebels were crushed under our steel toe. But a few escaped execution. We think they may have gone into your region. If you agree to let a few of our agents into your country, we will help you at all costs."

"Alright. You have a bit of my trust, but not much of it. Now who are you?"

"Black Sun."
Then they hung up.
"Sir, I overheard the conversation. Do you really trust them?" his bodygaurd asked.
"No...Not at all."

((Bump!))

((Ugh...Bump...again...))

The Empire's Exploratory/Medical ship will beam down a MedTeam to study the phenomenon. We will update you with our findings.

Ricala, King of Aurilania, Director of the EX Space Corps

Suddenly, the acting President of Jurrik looked over the urgency. Gasped at this and quickly dispatched the Emergency Biological Team.

18 men and 50 Soldiers were in Anti-Radiation and Bio-sealed suits. Coming off of a plane and escorted to the event horizion. The paperwork would probably just be hitting the Green Sun's President Desk.

The men were already inside. Pushing their way past secured areas and finding the area of the suspected Biological Weapon firing. Doing quick checks and gathering any Evidence, including a few Cigarette Butts. DNA would be helpful in this case.

Though, the Soldiers held their AK-47s and M-16s. A few Hummers also secured the area and 4 Crew Convoy units held gear and extra weaponary. The men with the guns were there to make sure they weren't surpressed in any manner.

In response to the emergency that is being endured by Green Sun the Protectorate of Patra Caesar is generously donating 4 million pairs of sunglasses and 1 million litres of SPF 30+ sunscreen to assist with this problem.

To: All parties currently involved in Green Sun Dehydration Incident

We have decided to issue a high-level alert to the govt of the Green Sun: isolate yourself immediately, and quarantine your people. They are to be restricted to their immediate neighborhood, and no travel is to be permitted.
We have found traces of Ebola-3, a super strain of what was once known as the Bubonic Plague. It manifests itself as a cold, with dehydration ensuing within 24 hours, followed by severe intestinal cramps, bleeding from various orifices, and a general malaise, followed by a high fever, projectile vomiting, and liquification of the internal organs of those infected. Death occurs within 72 hours.
Further, we have determined that the disease has been introduced to Green Sun in the form of a bio-virological "Trojan Horse", i.e., a group of immigrants who had identified themselves as an oppressed group of patriots of an unknown nation fleeing persecution. We believe this to be false, and as a matter of fact, an apparent invasion by a terrorist nation bent on dominating Green Sun.
We urge Green Sun's intelligence community to investigate, and should the terrorist nation be named, Xeraph will declare a state of war against said nation.

In light of these damaging allegations, Primus Consul has banned all importation and travel to and from green Sun under the advice of the Board of Highly Drugged Doctors.

"What? The Bubonic Plague?" Earnest asked.

"Yes, there were several strands reported by one of the nations investigating the incident," Ishmael replied.

"Were the patients tested?"

"Yes. They proved negative. Right now they're completely healthy, but just in case, millions of antibodies are being ordered at five dollars a piece."

"Forty-five million...Dammit...That money could have been spent towards our Fire Base project...Alright. Tell the other nations I want them to track down these terrorists and find out who the hell Black Sun is!"

"Yes, sir."

Ishmael left the room, leaving Earnest to his thoughts. He exited the building and hopped into his car, driving to the scene. He then spotted three mysterious figure in black cloaks.
It's eighty-seven degrees out here...Who the hell would wear black, not to mention those heavy cloaks? he thought to himself. He got out of his vehicle and shouted,
"Hey! Either give me some ID or I'm going to arrest you for entering a restricted area!"
One of them turned and walked towards him. Ishmael's hand went to his gun. The stranger held up his hand. He pulled out an identification card.
He was from Black Sun.
Ishmael studied the man further. His mouth was the only part of his body visible and it was very pale. He carried three weapons, two guns and a knife. He reeked to high heavens. His body temperature was so noticeable he could feel it the three inches away. This man was very sick, even dying.

"Thank you. Are you feeling well? Can I give you a ride to a hospital?"

"No...I'm fine."
He had a very deep, raspy voice, almost alien, but he still spoke clearly.

"Alright. Now, Earnest wants to know, where exactly is Black Sun?"

"You won't find it."

"I know this, so please tell me."

"You can't get to it. It's in a place that requires technology har beyond your own."

"So it's a planet-nation?"

"No."
Ishmael stared at the man. He then looked at the Jurrikian men crawling around the area.
"Alright. Carry on."
The man turned and left. Then he stopped, coughed violently, and continued to join his friends.
He left blood on the ground.
They are why the Bubonic Plague has been found!
Ishmael pulled out his gun and shouted,

"You are under arrest by the GSCIA for actions against Green Sun's people!"

"This is a foolish mistake; I am not the ones you seek. We arrived yesterday. This happened four days ago!"

"Even so, you are NOT being charged with the condition of those four ladies but for spreading toxins. This is an act of bio-terrorism! Drop your weapons and get in the car!"

"No!"

"NOW!"

"NO!"

Ishmael fired. The man bent over, clutching his stomach, fell over, and died. The other men pulled out their guns, but were gunned down by Jerrekian soldiers. ((OOC: Sorry if you won't let me do that><.))

"You three! Get a stretcher and bring these down in a container to the GSCIA building in the city!" Ishamel ordered six doctors in BioHazard suits. They did as he was told and he followed them in a contained vehicle. He probably caught the Plague from him. Three hours later he was injected with the antibody. The three proved positive. He went down to the Autopsy room in the GSCIA building, which all employees in had been evacuated, but those who were needed wore Biohazard suits. Hilda O'Hare was the examiner present.

"So, are they our terrorists?" Ishmael asked.

"Nope. All of them have perfect lungs...At least....Perfect lungs for someone who has the Bubonic Plague. I studied all three and none of them have ever seen a cigarrete before...Well...Maybe....Aside from the crime scene..."

"So our criminals are still out there. Is Earnest aware of what's happened?"

"Yes, I am."

To: Green Sun High Command

We have one possible record of a "Black Sun" incident, during Xeraph's war against the Empire of Koth. The incident was marked by terrorists passing themselves off as displaced tribesmen who were ejected from their territory by the Kothites. They were, in fact, Kothite agents. They released a less virulent strain of E-3, which affected 1,337 of our troops before we isolated it. They issued a communique afterwards claiming responsibility for the bio-attack. The communique was signed "Legus Solare Nero", translated to "the Black Sun Squad". We have located the remnants of this group, and have discovered that they have recently been abroad. We have them isolated in our Interrogation Ministry, where they will stay until you decide what you want us to do with them. I would suggest further interrogation, then elimination.

Lt. Col. Carnes, Xeraphian Secret Service

"Earnest? What are you doing here?" Ishmael asked

"Seeing how the Autopsy is going. Oh, and to show you this," Earnest said, handing Ishmael a letter. Ishmael stared at it and laughed.

"We scanned the whole damn city and didn't find any disease the first time around. We would have found it. I really don't think the ones responsible are the terrorsist Xeraph is talking about."

"I don't know. They called me again, said they're real pissed and that they would go on the offensive aginst Green Sun for killing the three men. But you're right, the ones we're looking for isn't the Black Sun they're talking about."

"Huh?"

"There are two terrorist groups here. One that's developed some way to dehydrate things using Uranium, since we've found several hundred pounds of it missing, and another spreading the Plague."

"Makes sense. But there's one major flaw. Why did Black Sun agree to help us?"

"Maybe they're rival factions? I don't know. This is getting big, and fast. We now have many mopre people than antibodies. We've ordered a lot more, though, so we should be fine...So long as the shipments don't get highjacked..."

Then Earnest's cell phone rang. He put it against his ear and listened.

"Speak of the devil, here's our dehydrators now."

"What?"

"Irony. The ones responsible for the dehydration of the four women are attacking the convoy with the antibodies."
---------------------------------------
"Open fire!" the soldier shouted. They were outnumbered five to one and they were better equipped. The clostest combat vehicle was a quarter mile down the road and the soldiers were being slaughtered. H eaimed his MP Navy SMG and fired, taking down at least three terrorists, but was cut in half by the enemy's laser technology. His last thoughts were:
So these monsters were only testing their laser guns...To...Use them...On us...

((Bumpers!))

((Bumpeth!))

"How many were killed?"

"All of them. Not a single survivor was among the Foot gaurds, but the armed vehicles were able to wipe out most of the attackers, Mr. President."

"Call me Earnest."

"Earnest."

"Well, I guess I have little choice. There is a foolish young nation that we could kill had we the military that is attacking Xeraph and we need him. This situation has gotten out of hand. I want to initiate a military, conating 2% of the population."

"One in fifty people, sir? Our military...well....To say at the least....is nonexsistant, so they have no founding..."

"I want one general per nine-hundred ninety-nine men. It'll be well-organized and well-trained."

"And well-equipped," Ishamel said, stepping into the room. Earnest dissmissed the Secretary of Defense.

"Excuse me?"

"The attackers had these on them," Ishmael explained, pulling out an odd-looking gun.

"It's what they used to attack the girls, only more advanced and less hazardous. It uses uranium that is well-contained so no radiation leaks out and our scientists think they will run out every ninety-three years before another Uranium core is needed. I think we should research these more and equip our new military with them."

"Excellent idea. Now they won't stand a chance."
