OOC: hey everybody, I would this to be my first serious RP, please Read and Reply!




IC:


"ORDER!!! ORDER!!! THIS MEETING WILL NOW COME TO ORDER!!!" but dispite the yells of the Assistant President the Federal Congress did not quiet down. Finally losing his patience the Assistant President yelled "QUIET DOWN ALL OF YOU BEFORE I HAVE THE GUARDS SHOOT SOMEONE!!!" this time the Federal Congress grew quiet and hushed.


Taking this as his cue the President of the Federal Republic, Alfonso de Ardo stepped up on to his podium. "Sentors of the Federal Republic, this emergency meeting has been called, because the problem of Mia province must be solved. Military occupation has failed this time, and threatening to sell thier teenagers have also failed. Therefore the chair is ready and willing to accept proposals on what to do."

Across the room a light went up on one of the desks. "The chair recongizes the honourable the sentor of Alfra, Atla province" said the President. The sentor stood up "My fellow senators, Your Excellencly, I believe that this august body must appeal for the aid of the outside world. I believe that inviting four nations to set up occupation zones with in Mia, with we ourselves occupying a fifth zone-" suddenly some one interrupted the senator "Objection your Excellenlcy! This is just another military occupation, it will not work!" "The chair does not recongize the senator of Crima, Sando province, sit down!" then the President nodded to the previous sentor. "Your Excellenlcy I believe that this plan will work, by inviting the outside to help us, we will gain aid in the pacification of Mia province, and sooner they quiet down in Mia the sooner our Republic goes back to normal."

President de Ardo nodded at the sentor and stood up "It is now time to put this proposal to a vote". Some twenty minutes later the President was alerted to look at the voting screen, the measure had passed, though by a small margin. "The vote is in, and the measure has passed, I shall transmit our plea for help later today, this body is dismissed!" with that the various sentors began moving about, bunching together into groups, and leaving.


LATER THAT DAY

President de Ardo stood unconfirmably under the spotlight, then he spoke "Greetings to you friends of the International community, I am President Alfonso de Ardo of the nation of Atla Mia Sando. My nation is a fragile federal union of three main provinces, which are in our name. However there is one province that keeps giving us problems, Mia. To be frank we have tried everything to quell this province, even military occupation, but nothing has worked. Therefore the Federal Congress has decreed that we ask for International aid in bringing the province back into the Union. The Federal Congress has decreed also that Mia shall be divided into five occupation zones, four for the International nations, and one for us. If you think you can help us friends, please reply to this message. I thank you"

OOC: TAG, this looks interesting, I may get involved later on. Who knows?

Signal sent from Riptide:

The queen gathered her self and raised herself up until it seemed she filled the entire Cavern, which was not hard to do considering her size.

"We wonder what kind of aid you are requesting. If it is a military occupation, then how would one from the outside world work, if yours did not? If you wish to scare them into following you, or, perhaps, resequencing their thoughts into loyalty, then we most defenatly can help you. If you still wish a military occupation, then we can still help you, even though we feel given past records, that it would fail. This signal shall remain open for a reply

President de Ardo,

You have requested aid for your country in quelling a bothersome province. You said that you tried military force to stop the rebelliousness of your Mia province. Perhaps your military did not try hard enough. Let our men come in and do the job, and we can have Mia province looking like the rest of your nation in no time.

Cordially,

Senator Thomas O'Reilly
The Dominion of The Captain

Office of his excellency the President:



Warhaven: We are hoping that the presence of international troops in Mia province will scare the populace into submission. Mia has a mostly female populace, so tell your troops to prepare accordingly.


The Captain: Thank you, we shall set up a occupation zone for your troops. Mia has a mostly female populace, so tell your troops to prepare accordingly.



(OOC: EDIT: corrected grammer)

Although Warhaven is 90% male, We are also Slivers and not humanoid. If you can imagine a giant six foot snake looking creature with two long arms with sharp talons, you are not too far off the truth.

The Queen ordered the S.S. Warfare to depart for Atla Mia Sando

With all due respect, Ambassador Katrina has requested permission that one of the participant occupying countries grant the presence of an Arkonese observer with their forces. The purpose of this mission is strictly political relations and information retrieval. No Arkonese army or ADAF forces will participate, save for the transport Huey which shall deliver the observer.

Details:
Name - Konika Navokomic
Position - Doctor, graduate of Djose University
Transport - Bell UH-1 Huey
Task - >8-Star Classified<

OOC: What are the geographical features of your nation? Are you landlocked, mountainous, etc?

IC: Leiutenant General Steve Briggs surveyed his forces as they loaded up and prepared for battle. They didn't need to know anything about the Mians, save that they were almost all women. All they needed to know was how to stop them. And they were bringing enough firepower to stop a small planet.

Women, Briggs thought.

The troops were almost ready to move out, and some of the transports were leaving for the ships already. Once in range, they would leave the ships and reach Mia, where Briggs expected a short vacation.

The giant speakers were being helicoptered away, and all that was left was Briggs' command helo. He went downstairs from his office and spoke with General Hal Leslie.

"Have a good trip, Steve."

"Thanks Hal. Shouldn't be more than a long weekend."

**********

The Senate of The Captain has deemed it acceptable for Communist Arkonia's observer to take up residence in our camp, with an admonition-- Stay out of our way.

OOC: The Captain, my nation is a island, Mia is shaped like the Crimea.



IC:
Office of his excellency the President




Warhaven: Thank you for your assistence


The Captain: Thank you for your assistence

The Senate of The Captain has deemed it acceptable for Communist Arkonia's observer to take up residence in our camp, with an admonition-- Stay out of our way.

Message from the Ambassador:
Thankyou for your generous offer. We will be as ghosts.

Sanctaphrax have decided to donate just over 1'300 troops to your cause, we will not use force and fear, but we will attempt to convince the populace that it is in their best interests to rejoin the rest of the country. Failing that, maybe it is best that they be an independant nation. We send these troops along with 400 Ram 2000 Jeeps, purchasable from our storefront.

Office of his Excellency the President


Sanctaphrax: Thank you for your troops. However a warning, the Mians do not understand anything but brute force, we know because we tried to be nice and failed. I will die before I let those women in Mia become a independent nation, for if they become independent the Union will cease to exist. Still I thank you greatly. Your occupation zone will be set up soon.

A few days later:

The sky was black over the waters outside of Mia as The Captain warships headed for the island. It was very ominous, and many were unsure if The Captain was causing the dark clouds.

Onboard the flagship, General Briggs was on the bridge with the admiral in charge of the sea operations. A naval officer came to them and handed a note to the admiral.

"We're in range," he said. "General, you have the go-ahead for this mission. Godspeed."

"Thanks, Chuck," Briggs said, and then punched a button in the comm system. "Attention all hands, prepare to begin transport operations."

**********

The transports lifted the heavy tanks and began hovering over the deck of the carrier. Inside others, troops sat, waiting to get some ground action going on. They lifted and moved forward, off the decks and over the black water beneath them.

General Briggs was in his command helicopter, in a flight pattern with three others. They joined up with the transports and flew their path to the occupation zone. Once all the troops were in place, they would go out into the streets and begin cleaning up the mess.

The helicopters and transports landed, and the troops ran out to secure the area. It was a large grassy area with a paved strip for landing aircraft. It was a good place to set up a base of operations. They were expecting an envoy from Communist Arkonia, and hopefully by then the base would be fully operational.

Thum-thum-thum-thum-thump.

The heavy rotor blades of the old Huey transport helicopter beat loudly as Konika ran hunched over toward the waiting machine. She clambered in hastily along with her two standard escorts; a sergeant by the name of Brookland and a young assistant she hadn't caught the name of. They weren't to stay with her, only to accompany her on the route should anything go wrong. When she got to Mia, she was on her own. Which was more than a little unnerving.

"Is this thing safe?" She asked, inspecting the interior. Brookland shot a dark glance in return. She felt silly for saying such, but she didn't realise these things were still being used by ADAF.

The Huey lifted off the pad atop one of the towering buildings of Midgar and banked confidently toward the horizon.

A ship dropped out of transwarp. It looked like a giant snake of some sort. on the side S.S. Warfare Glowed in a bright orange.

This is the S.S. Warfare requesting location of Occupation zone

A.M.S. Control Center



"S.S. Warfare your occupation zone is on the southern beaches of Mia Province, welcome!"

OCC: I would like to take part of this because a lot of nations in 2004 really do not have the most resources to be incharge of a large place of land on foreign territory to give them protection. I'll post later after I recieve approval.

OOC: Okay you can take part Canad a.

Creatures could be seen emerging from the S.S. Warfare. Having been given directions, The Slivers of Warhaven Flew to the Southern beaches. and settled in upon them. Glaring at all the inhabitants, they spread out across their sector.

OOC: These are the Slivers from Magic the Gathering.

The CP was hastily being constructed as soldiers ran around with materials and supplies in their hands, careful not to run into the landing transports. There was almost a division there currently, with more on the way. The radio trucks had arrived, and as soon as they were prepped and ready to go, they were sent out.

Forming up the column's command was Captain Jack White. He was in the second HMMVW, with the radio truck and two Bradley Fighting Vehicles behind that. The entrance to the city was not crowded, and there was more rubble than buildings. The city looked like it had been through rough times, and the soldiers weren't here to make it any better... yet. First they'd have to root out the bad apples, and only then could they think about rebuilding.

As soon as they reached the main street, the voice in the truck came out.

"Attention citizens of Mia. We are soldiers from The Dominion of The Captain, here to put down the insurgency here. From now on, we are in charge here, and we will be calling the shots. First, there is a curfew in effect starting at five o'clock p.m. and lasting until eight o'clock a.m. every day. Any citizen caught on the streets after curfew will be rounded up and probably shot.

"Any altercations between our soldiers and citizens of Mia, where Mians are the aggressors, will not be tolerated. We reserve the right to shoot anyone without provocation. Once we get this situation under control, we will leave-- but not before. That gives you two options: help us or die. We have no ties to this city, and we have been given permission by your government to take matters into our own hands, even if that means demolishing the city.

"Beginning tomorrow at eight a.m., soldiers will come to each neighborhood and begin a provincial registry of all citizens. You will be fingerprinted and identified. Any citizen without proper identification will be arrested.

"After the identification process, we will allow refugees to leave the city. Refugees cannot take any possessions with them, save any religious items they may have. That is all."

The cars rode down the streets with the message repeating over and over. The soldiers sat in the open, watching the civilians as they listened to the message. The armored men held their rifles at the ready, knowing that these women were dangerous. The sooner they had 100% air cover, the better, they all thought.

Our nation would like to help, but if the Mias have shown constant resentment to your rule, would it not be better if some sort of loyalty program shall be instituted? Perhaps my propaganda forces could be engaged, hmmm? Or if all else fails, I could use WMD's to cleanse the Mian population, so you can recolonize it with those loyal to you. Either way, a permanent solution is necessary.
~Emperor Armand Domalewski

OOC: Okay I am going to try out my first post as the Mians, tell me how it sounds.


IC:



The Mian women listened to the message, and grew angry. Stepping up onto a box one woman, with flaming red hair, began shouting. "Opressors!!! Savages!!! This will not stand with us, no goverment can tame us!!! We will have our freedom!!!" the woman turned to her crowd "Sisters!!! Kill the savages!!!" The crowd then turned to the occupiers and charged them screaming "NO WOMAN SHALL EVER BEND HER KNEE TO MEN AGAIN!!!"

Office of his excellency the President



Armandian Cheese: We appericate the offer, but four nations have already stated thier intentions and the zones have been set up. If you some sort of equipment that can brainwash a person then I would be willing to buy it and distribute the material to all forces in Mia.

Judging by the feminist sentiment in the region, I bet all you'll have to do is wait for a few years. With no new births, it'll be empty in a decade or so. As for the brainwashing technology, no, there has never been one machine capable of brainwashing. However, what you can do is initiate a complete propaganda program that incorporates everything from education to the media.

OOC: (to Alta Mia Sando) Just out of interest of a possible deviation, what are the weapons capabilities of the Mian rebels? ie. are they likely to be using surface-to-air rocket launchers? :D

Office of his excellencly the President



Armandian Cheese: I shall take your suggestion. Perhaps if we can force the women in our zone to sttend state functions, we may be able to use propaganda to good effect. If you can please send some propanaganda people to help oraganize this effort.

OOC: The Mian rebels have some pretty good weapon capabilites, so yes they can use surface-to-air rocket launchers

2 miles out from the Mian coast, Illyana Vassilea class AC, the SNS Stormhornet, flagship of the Sanctaphrax Navy radioed the HQ at Mia, to request landing space for the troops, who would be flying from here by C-5 transport, and landing in Mia. 1500 troops would be flown by the 20 C-5's on board the ship, maybe some would fly twice.

"Mia, Mia HQ, do you read? This is Admiral Quintinius "Cloud Wolf" Verginix of the SNS Stormhornet from Sanctaphrax, we have on board 20 C-5 transports, with which we would, with your permission, land in the region of Mia 1500 troops and 500 Ram-2000 Jeeps to secure the region. Do you read? Landing permission requested. Over"

OOC: Okay I am going to try out my first post as the Mians, tell me how it sounds.

IC:

(OOC: Sounds good.)

IC: White was not amused by the cry of this woman in the crowd. The gunner was standing post in the back of the HMMVW, and he pointed his weapon at the women. White saw them charging from afar, and heard their chant. "Looks like we caught them at the wrong time of the month," he quipped. "Sargeant,"

"Sir?" the gunner atop answered.

"See that those women never bend their knees again."

"Yes sir!" Sargeant Guerino fired the .50 caliber bullets lower than he was taught, but the irony of it all made him smirk. Bullets sprayed into the women, first from Captain White's car and then from the HMMVW that had taken position beside his. When the gunner in the other car figured things out, he too fired low at the women.

White turned to the lieutenant sitting next to him. "Jones, can you take out the woman that started this all?"

"I can, sir," he replied, patting the extra gun that he had on his lap.

"Make it happen."

Jones opened the door-- the women were far enough away to give him a few seconds to get a shot or two off-- and stood behind it. He rolled down the window and set his gun props up on the door armrest. He centered his scope on the woman with the firery red hair and took a shot.

**********

"General, we've got activity down the main road. A crowd of women is rushing Captain White's comm convoy."

"Already?" Briggs was surprised at the rapid response he was already garnering. "Is he taking care of it?"

"So far, sir, but this is an isolated incident, according to the reports we have. The Mians are capable of worse when their numbers are large."

"Will our crackdown work?"

"No way we can tell, sir. All we know is that the government here could do nothing about it. There's always plan B..."

Briggs knew about plan B. There were chemical warheads on the ships off the coast, and his men here had the proper suits to keep them safe, if it came to that. Briggs hoped not, for the country's sake.

General Briggs called for his car. "I have a meeting with President de Ardo and his military staff... plus the other commanders that are here. Apparently we were each given a sector of the city to quiet, and I want my sector clear first. The meeting is soon, and I have to get to the capital city. Contact me if anything serious happens."

"Yes sir."

Briggs stepped into his car and sat down. The car took him across the "base" to his command helicopter. From there it was just a short ride, around Mian air, to the meeting place.

The Synapse Slivers could easily tell the Women did not welcome them there. When they rushed the Synapse Slivers set to work. With their Mind powers, the Synapse Slivers put the entire crowd to sleep. In their Dreams the following was heard.

"We are the Slivers of Warhaven. You have caused your government much trouble. If you do not behave yourselves, we will discover what human flesh tastes like. Do not think of rebellion, the Holy AEther flows through us, we can do many things to you.

With that the Synapse Slivers loosed their control and Slithered off to other sections.

OOC: I'll be Back after 6:00 P.M. Arizona (U.S.) Time

A.M.S. Control

"Sanctaphraxian ships, your occupation zone lies on the east coast, please send your troops their. Welcome to Mia!"



The Captain's O.Z. (Occupation Zone)


The fiery redhead went down from the shot, but the female frenzy was so bad that it did not matter now. The rebels continued to come, screaming "Freedom!!!!", some reached the veilches and banged on them. Off in a corner a group of women in military uniforms took cover behind some boxes, they were toting a rocket launcher. After a few seconds they fired off the weapon and retreated.

"Roger that"
The admiral gave the order, and one after the other, the C-5's took off one after the other, silently into the night. They landed in perfect formation, at the same distances they had taken off. They each reported in and landed one after the other. 1...2...3...17...18...19...


OOC: This is your chance, if you want someone to attack the plane, this is your chance. I don't want it to crash, maybe to land badly after getting hit or something.

OOC: Righty then.

IC:
Mia, not far from the TC occupation camp
Konika leant forward to strain her ears for the radio transmission coming in through Sergeant Brookland's headset.
"Rats." He muttered. "Pilot, we need to make a change of course. Have us set to cut across that forest there, bearing zero-two-three."
"Understood sir."
Brookland turned to face Konika. "Don't be alarmed, ma'am. Just adjusting our route to make sure you get there in one piece."
She nodded. "How far are we?"
"Pilot?"
The pilot glanced from side to side, checking the instrument panel. "About 3000 yarz, sir."
Suddenly, one of the lights began to rapidly pulse bright red and a loud alarm filled the compartment.
"What's th-?" Before Konika had barely spoken, she felt an almighty jolt and a swirling sensation. She clung to the seat of the Huey desperately, trying to ignore the fact the horizon was rising up and forest filled the forward view.
"Some kind've missile?!" The assistant trooper called out.
"Losing altitude control..." the pilot yelled back.
"We're going down, hold onto something." Brookland stated calmly.
Konika gripped the seat-holds on both sides and shut her eyes.

Official Statement by the Defense Secretary

The Federal Republic of Canada will be sending a military presence to Atla Mia Sando since they have declared help in restablizing a rogue province of Mia. The Department of Defense will be sending 50000 Marines, and 100000 Army Personnel to a section of territory that'll be assigned to us by the Government of Atla Mia Sando.

Lieutenant General [Rtd.] Bill Harding, Defense Secretary
Defense Department of the Federal Republic of Canada

OOC: Are these women armed?

IC: The women were now at the front of the first vehicle as the four soldiers inside rushed out to hopefully show enough force to show these women some sense. The gunner on top fired his rounds at the farther point of the crowd, fearful that he would hit one of his own men if he shot too close. The soldiers took up their positions behind the doors and started firing themselves.

From seemingly out of nowhere, a RPG round came hurtling through the crowd and hit Captain White's HMMVW. He had stepped out of it just seconds before, to get in a few shots himself as the women came charging. The driver and front seat passenger were trapped when the RPG detonated in the hood of the vehicle, still alive but not for long. They'd need a medevac unit quickly, and one would not come if there was such heavy fighting going on.

The Bradleys moved around the comm truck to the "front line" of the battle. From above the soldiers, the machine gun turrets of the heavily armored vehicle began milling through the crowd. The main gunner focused on the outer rims of women, hoping that any further RPG attackers would not get a clear shot with bullets flying in their direction.

The radioman called in the details to the CP, and requested more troops. He was told that more infantry and a few tanks were at the edge of the city, but would not be dispatched until Captain White lost control of the situation.

A wild whoop irruppted from the rebels on the ground. "We got the heli!!" smiling the battery commander turned to a young blond behind her "Mira, honey this is your chance to prove your self, go the wreckage of the heli and check for survivors" Mira nodded and snapped to attention "Yes Mother".



A few moments later Mira and her squad apporched the wreckage "Attention!!!" she yelled "If there is anyone alive in there come out with your hands up!!!" Mira turned to the squad and motioned for them to get ready for anything.

A Chinook transport helicopter, emblazoned with the Armandian flag, hovered into place. From it, four men wearing black business suits emerged. They looked like nothing more than IRS agents, yet they had the potential to quell an entire region. Propaganda experts. They looked upon the Captain's troops, which were engaged against a horde of women. Immediately, they began to work, uncaring of the carnage around them. One of them attempted to establish communications with "The Captain" and the President of this nation.
The others began to formulate plans. A few, rudimentary ideas were proposed:
1. Intensive bombing of propaganda leaflets
2. Offer sales in larger shopping malls
3. Bring in loyal men from other provinces (If distracted by marriage, enemy forces may begin to taper off.)
4. Edit education system to promote die hard nationalism and loyalty.
5. Place extensive propaganda materials around the city (posters, leaflets, speakers)
6. Play national anthem incessantly
7. Build statues of leader
8. Turn media into propaganda organization
All of these ideas were sent to all members of the allied force.

Konika sat herself up and glanced around her, inspecting the smouldering Huey remains. The chopper had removed a small patch of local tree life in its impact, but it had done little to reduce the force of the crash.
Her eye caught slight movement. It was Brookland, lying half inside the door of the Huey, and he looked in a bad way. Probably there from when he pushed her out the door into the tree canopy at the last moment, likely saving her life. But it seemed from the amount of blood inside the chopper that the other two weren't as fortunate.
She quickly elbow-crawled over to him and hissed as quietly as she could "Let's get going, the rebels will be here any second." She'd read a brief amount on these Mian extremists and didn't rate his chances on medical attention with them.
But Brookland shook his head. "Go. Now. You'll never be able to carry me."
"You saved my life. I can't." She replied.
"Go on!" He inhaled with a sudden sharp pain.
"I studied these people, they will kill you without mercy." She urged, pulling him from the wreckage. He managed to right himself as she supported their hobble into the far line of bushes. As they pushed into the greenery, she heard a woman yelling the rebel's warning, and tried to hobble all the quicker in the direction of the base. She only hoped that the plume of black smoke rising from the crash site might just be visible to the TC forces.

OOC: The Captain, only the women wearing uniforms are armed, those not in unform are usally using their hands or rocks or stones, there are some with pistols, and few with AK-74 like weapons.




Office of his excellency the President

Canad a: We thank you for your support!

Armandian Cheese: Thanks for the suggestions


The Captain's O.Z.

By now the heavy fire coming from the enemy troops had caused numerous fatalites, and a few women began to retreat into the back alleys of the city. On the edge of the 'circle' the women in military uniform ducked thier heads to avoid the fire from the Bradleys. Soon a importent looking woman in military uniform arrived. "Keep on advancing Sisters!!!" she yelled "Do not fear thier bullets, kill them all!!!" a new surge started foward, this was the high tide


IN THE FOREST

((OOC: let me know is this is okay))

Mira stood looking around the area, when one of her troopers pointed to the brush. Walking foward Mira yelled "I know you are there, come out with your hands up and I will spare your lives" just to be sure Mira fired two warning shots with her pistol.

OOC: Sure, makes it all the more interesting ^_^. btw, I'm expecting these rebels to be slightly disappointed that they only shot down a pathetic foreign envoy instead of one of the forces they're actually fighting, but up to you really.

IC:
Konika froze. Damn, that's the cat outta the bag.
Acting swiftly, she lay Brookland down in a thick bush beside her, then took a deep breath and walked out into the clearing with her hands in the air. With any luck, they might not know he was with me... he might die out here alone, but at least there's a chance the TC might come by and pick him up. Better than the alternative in any case.
"My name is Konika Navokomic, from the People's Republic of Communist Arkonia. I am an unarmed scientist." She stated nervously.

##EDIT: grammar. meh##

Nation's Capital City, Atla Mia Sando

Ryan Thatcher, Chief Foreign Service Officer of the Federal Republic of Canada to Atla Mia Sando walked towards the President, "Hello sir. My people would like to know what patch of territory to be incharge of?"

- Tag Atla Mia Sando -

OOC: The unit that shot your heli usally doesn't see action!



IC:


Mira stared "Lower your rifles" she said to her squad. After a few moments she apporached Konika "I did not expect that the enemy would bring Sisters with them, the sick freaks. In any case you are safe with us Sister Konika. Come with me, I am sure that Mother will arm you and send to face the pigs in Fal' Tel ((OOC: this is the city that TC's forces are pinned down in)) ." Mira smiled waited for a reply from Konika





IN UNION CITY ((OOC: My capital))


President de Ardo smiled shook Thachter's hand "Greetings to you sir, your people shall care for the northern sector"

Union City, Atla Mia Sando

Ryan Thatcher smiled, "We would like all intelligence dossiers on the northern sector, as well information on its geo-politics and geography. That way we can penetrate rebels strongholds."

- Tag Atla Mia Sando -

Konika bowed slightly, a quick and nervous bow. "Uh-um. Thankyou. I wasn't exactly 'brought' by anyone but.. it's not important." She glanced at the rebel who expectantly held an extra rifle. "I don't actually know how to fire a weapon though. Is there not another way I could be of some better use?" She bowed again hastily, smiling nervously and trying her best to be as polite as possible.

UNION CITY

President de Ardo smiled and dug out some folders. "These are some folders on all you need to know about your sector, I'll you a brief overview. The rebels of your sector are best armed and trained, they act more like a professional army then the southern rebels, but do not think that makes them easlier to put down. the northern sector is hilly with some mountains here and there, with a lot of plains."



THE FOREST

Mira smiled and put a hand on Konika "Sister Konika I am sure that Mother will teach you how to shoot a rifle, though if really don't want too I am sure that Mother can find something. Oh and you do not have to bow, we are all equals here in the Mian Resistence"

Union City, Alta Mia Sando

"Thank you, Mister President. I'll scan, telegram and destroy the original to the Department of Defense and the Canadian National Intelligence Agency. We would like information on notable informants and political factions within the area that support rebellion. Also how large this sector is."

- Tag -

OOC: Hey everyone I gotta leave my Comp now, I will reply to new posts when I return!

"I am sorry," Konika replied, about to bow again as she remebered, and blushed slightly. "It is in my people's custom. I look forward to meeting 'Mother'. And I very much prefer to pass up on combat, as I am a pacifist in any case." She clasped her hands together, noticing her teal and grey fatigues had been torn right down the arm and on one leg. "I will come with you, though." She finished. "Like I have much choice." She noted mentally.

Main Street, O.Z.

The tanks and infantrymen were dispatched by the command of General Briggs, who wanted to minimize casualties and worry about Captain White's effectiveness later. The women who rushed them were unarmed, and Briggs knew that surely whatever army they had would be better organized and more effective than a crowd that was just asking to be shot at.

Captain White ordered the tanks to take up the rear and to position one forward, but behind the damaged HMMVW. The women, seeing a tank come down the street, moved back some to aviod being crushed. Throwing stones at soldiers is one thing; it's completely different when a tank is involved.

White gave the order for the tanks to fire shells into the crowd. Although such a close range was dangerous for White's men, he could see that the women were gaining ground. He was outnumbered, but they were mostly unarmed against a fighting military force, wearing armor, and shooting bullets.

A group of women had surrounded the damaged HMMVW and were rocking it back and forth. White didn't want them to obtain even a small victory, so he motioned for one of the corporal's to lob a grenade in that direction. Knowing that it would probably kill the men inside, it was better for them to die quickly than to be in pain and beaten up by girls.

A lieutenant came from the rear with two other men. They had green canisters on their backs and wore dark black uniforms and gas masks. White positioned them in the front, just between the tank and the wreckage that was once a hummer.

"Covering fire!" one of the front-line sargeants yelled.

The three men made their ways to the front while the regular soldiers held the women at what they thought was "girl throwing" distance. Once in position, the men held their weapons out and unleashed three columns of flames from their flamethrowers. As the women burned in front of them, the flamethrowers flayed their weapons about as if they were going to burn every last woman in the province.

Command Post, O.Z.

Colonel West received the transmission from Armandian Cheese. Although they had hoped to use a different kind of psychological warfare-- a shock and awe demonstration-- the prospects of leaflets and shopping days did sound good. If the women were distracted for long enough, the entire movement might fall.

"Contact the Armandians and tell them we're willing to help them in any way we can."

Union City

General Briggs' helicopter landed at the pad it was cleared for, and Briggs learned that President de Ardo was in a meeting with a representative from Canad a. Briggs decided not to interrupt, and to wait for de Ardo to finish up. Then they would all meet, hopefully, and lay down some general goals.

John Balkner, spokesperson for the Ministry of War of The Nine

In The political interests of Our Glorious region, the Member states of The Nine wish to know why the provence of mia has decided to Rebel? We would also have you know that The nine has dispatched similiar questions to the Provence itself. if the answers are not satisfactory, this war could be, despite apearances, Far from over, We expect your answer within the week.

Having recieved a copy of the Propaganda Idea, the Slivers in the S.S. Warfare set to work writing out various propaganda sheets, meanwhile on the planet below, the Slivers, seeing that the Women down here were pretty peaceful after the threat to eat them if they didn't behave, sent a few Slivers out to investigate a plume of black smoke that was rising from a nearby forest. When they got there, they spotted what appeared to be a flying machine, known from the history records as a "Helicopter, and a Human Man lying on the ground an essence sliver slithered over to him and read the name Brookland from the name Tag, sensing the barest thread of life left in him, the essence Sliver quickly used his powers of healing, closed the mans wounds and stabilized him.

OOC: We'll assume the rebels and Konika are gone by now then :P

IC:
Brookland didn't understand what he first saw. The last thing he remembered was the crash... no, wait, he had been dragged out. She'd pulled him from the wreckage-
"Where's Konika?" He blurted out. Then it occured to him what he was looking at. "And what *are* you?" he added.

OOC: These are the Slivers from Magic the Gathering.

IC: The White Sliver known as an Essence Sliver was thinking really hard, consulting telepathicly a nearby Synapse Sliver, he sat their a few seconds consedering how to phrase his response, his six-foot snake-like body sheilding the man from from a nearby flaming prece of reckage. His talons, the only appendages he had, other than his tempoary wings which were sheilding the sunlight from the poor mans eyes, were proping the mans head and prodding him to attempt to sit up.
I am a Sliver. The Powers of the AEther flow through me and My brethran. As soon as you sit up, you shall see them. As for Konika, you were the only thing living we found. A group of Humans was leaving as we arrived. if this Konika was a human Woman, than perhaps she is amoung them. The were headed for The Captains Occupation Zone. If you have the strength to sit upon my back, We shall fly you back to our Zone and contact The Captain.

The slim-jawed sergeant frowned slightly, but nodded. "I'm strong enough, yeah. Whatever you did, it sure worked wonders. Take me to the TC camp." He stood carefully.

Since as I explained earlier, the powers of the AEther flow through me and my brethren. That gives each of us Quasi-Magical powers,my special gift is to heal myself and others. When we are in close proximity to each other like this, I can share this ability with my fellow Slivers. Anyway, on to TC's camp we go.

The Synapse Sliver used his mind and lifted the sargent onto the Essence Slivers back.

Grasp My neck and hold on tight. The Essence Sliver Warned the Sargent.

As soon as the Essence Sliver felt the Sargents Grasp, he took off with the other Slivers in Flight. The headed for the Command center of The Captains Occupation Zone. Flying Low to avoid detection, they flew quickly.

OOC: have ta call it a night, laters ;)

OOC: That's okay. I am just Glad I got the peaceful section. I guess it was that initial threat to eat them if they didn't behave.

OOC: Hey everyone I have finally managed to find some time to post, alot sure happened, whoa.





UNION CITY



President de Ardo nodded at Thatcher and took out another folder. "There are no informents, all of the women are deathly loyal to a figure they refer too as Queen Mother, we have tried to question some capatives, but no luck. If you want to give it a try they are being held at Tan Army Base, near your landing spots. As for factions, none as far as we know, just the Mian Resistence, though there unconfirmed reports of a slavery ring called Yellow Gan. Your sector is the largest of all of the occupation zones."



T.C.'s O.Z.


Eyes open wide the commanding officer realized that this was no mere foray by some Federal lackies. "Scatter now Sisters!!!" she yelled "Before they kill us all!!!". With that the groups of uniformed and civilian rebels began fleeing, though one or two women threw a grenade in the direction of the enemy troops.





Office of his excellency the President

Mondoth: We do not know why the Mians are revolting, only that they have done so since our ancestors conquered this place before the foundation of the current Union.


IN THE FOREST CAMP

"Mother!" yelled Mira walking through the camp, a few moments later the two bumped into each other "Honey how did your patrol go?" asked Mother. "Fine" said Mira "we found a Sister near the wreck, says her name is Konika. She says she she is a pacifist though Mother, so she does not want to handle a gun".

"Can I see her?" Mira nodded and stepped aside. "Hello dear, my name is Rosa Alista, you can call me Commander Rosa" Cmdr. Rosa shook Konika's hand "I think I can put you on the radio with Angela, my other daughter ,if you have any questions feel free to ask me"

((OOC: EDIT: Just some spelling and grammer))

OOC: last post 'till tomorrow. remeber, I am flying into the occupation zone of The Captain. I would like to see SOME action, either with the sargent I am carrying, or, more preferably, in my section.

"Roger that"
The admiral gave the order, and one after the other, the C-5's took off one after the other, silently into the night. They landed in perfect formation, at the same distances they had taken off. They each reported in and landed one after the other. 1...2...3...17...18...19...


OOC: This is your chance, if you want someone to attack the plane, this is your chance. I don't want it to crash, maybe to land badly after getting hit or something.
OOC: I assume you don't then.

IC:
The last plane touched down, landing at the designated airfield. The ramps were lowered, and the troops flooded off them, nearly 1500 in all. The SNS Stormhornet had gone back to Sanctaphrax, escorted by 5 Sa'ar corvettes. After the troops, a huge roaring noise was heard inside the planes, as the Ram engines were fired up, the echo inside the now empty planes making them sound like a jet plane at take off. They drove off the ramp, and headed to their designated barracks.

Forest Camp
"Pleased to meet you, Commander Rosa." She replied politely. "Call me Koni if you wish." She paused a moment, apparently thinking. "You know, although I have no desire to kill anyone myself, I still wish to take a more active role in your aid. And I do have medical qualifications..." She hinted. "As a medic on the front lines I've got the best chance of being re-captured by the TC...." she added in thought.

Command Post, Occupied Zone

The base was bustling with activity as more and more troop and tank transports landed. There was incoming and outgoing aircraft all around, being monitored by a complex computer control system manned by a senior sargeant. An unregistered blip appeared on the screen, and the good NCO reported it to his commanding officer.

"Must be the Arkonian helicopter. They're sending in political observers," the lieutenant mused.

"Uh, sir, that sure doesn't look like a helicopter I've ever seen..." the sargeant said watching over the Lt's shoulder. "What the hell are those things?"

The "things" flew into the camp and landed at the pad. They were met by a large group of armed men, who were obviously startled with those... whatever they were, the men thought. A colonel stepped forward and took control of the situation. He saw a man that was obviously hurt, and immediately called for a medic. The colonel told the others to stand down, and attempted to greet the creatures.

"I'm Colonel West. Welcome to The Captain's Occupied Zone."


Main Street, O.Z.

The women were scattering, thanks to the flamethrowers. Now that they knew what worked, Captain White planned to continue using them. Scorched bodies laid around in front of them, and the smell of burnt flesh permeated the air. It wasn't pretty, but it was necessary.

Once the area was secure, White sent the radio truck back to the CP to compile a recording of the battle, which would be distributed throughout the city as soon as they were made. Troop columns moved down the street now, and a medical APC arrived to take away the dead and wounded. White lost four men in the conflict, and two were injured.

They had made an incursion into the city, but this would not be the best way to do things, the soldiers learned. They would need women, possibly spies, to infiltrate their ranks and try to take them down from the inside. What looked like an easy weekend excursion was beginning to look like a long-term committment.

"Search for any survivors. We'll take them back to the CP for questioning."

OOC: Atla Mia Sando, you decide if you want me to find survivors and question them.

We are the Slivers of Warhaven, we're occupying another Zone, we have however, found this man among some wreckage in the forest. We healed him as best we could, and he requested we bring him to you, so, without further ado, We present, from the nation of Communist Arkonia, Sargent Brookland.

Command Post, TC Occupation Zone
The sergeant dusted himself off and looked over his shoulder at the Slivers that had brought him.
"Thankyou." He said sincerely, then turned to face Colonel West. "Our chopper went down about 2 or 3 thousand yarz from here." He winced slightly, his back still giving him considerable ache. "Two died in the crash, but I believe my other companion has been taken hostage by the rebels." he stated as resolutely as he could. "They appear to have a strong presence in the surrounding forest." He concluded, grudgingly accepting the helping hand of the medic as he arrived.

As we Fly back to our Zone, we shall fly back over the forest, if we spot anything, we shall contact you immiediatly.

The Slivers circled the base a couple of times and headed off.


OOC: Atla Mia Sando, your going to have to tell me in your next post if I find anything, because that will effect what I post since my zone has been relativly quiet.

bump

OOC: Hey Everyone, I am here now to post, not for long though. T.C. I have set up a sitution for you to find a survivor below, and Warhaven I am not sure, read the below make a judgement on the sitution.




IC:


FOREST CAMP

Commander Rosa smiled at Konika "Well you are sure you can deal with job of being a medic, then sure you can be one" turning Rosa addressed Mira "Mira honey take Koni over to the Med tent and tell Amy to give her a Medic's outfitting" Mira nodded and began walking towards the Med tent, over on the other side of camp. Looking up Rosa saw wierd things flying over head, after warning Mira and Konika to stay low she turned to a group of AA crew who was walking to thier guns and spoke "Do not shoot those things, maybe they will not see us" everyone in the camp paused and layed low, hoping the things would pass.



T.C.'s O.Z.

A young woman, a teenager really, lay on the ground with her back against the wall near the area were the enemy had replused the attack. Seeing that the enemy was coming the young woman tried to reach for pistol dropped by a uniformed regular, but the pain in her arm and shoulder was so bad that she yelled out in pain. Immeadiatly realizing that she would noticed the teen tried to appear dead, but she did not look convincing. Please do not notice me, please think I am dead she thought earnstly.

OOC: Please reply to at least one of my posts, more if you have time!

OOC: I will try when I can take another break, for now I have to go back.

Main Street

Three soldiers heard the cry from one of the bodies laying against the wall of a shop of some sort. They walked over there cautiously and saw a gun on the ground next to one of the women. One of the soldiers picked it up, cleared it, and holstered it in his pants.

"It was one of these girls," one of them said.

They proceeded to rustle the dead ones, looking for any indication that would give away the women's status as alive. When they moved the teen-aged girl, they noticed her wince in pain slightly.

"Captain!" the sargeant called, "We've got a live one!"

Captain White and his lieutenant came rushing over to the girl. The search party steadied their weapons on her as White closed on their position.

"Search her and get her back to the CP. She could prove to be valuable to us."

Command Post

"What the hell were those things?" one of the soldiers asked.

"Nevermind that, they're on our side."

"Yes sir."

*****

"So, they've taken position in the forest." Briggs thought about the different ways he could take out their wooded operation once and for all. "They don't react too well to fire, I see."

"Yes sir, they fled like rats when our flamethrowers opened fire. Excuse the pun."

*****

"Hmm, you had a few serious gashes, but nothing life-threatening. I stitched them up for you, but you'll probably have to stay here for a day and let your body heal itself. I know you've got people out there, and I'm not your commanding officer, but that's my opinion as a doctor."

The medic had a light job so far- he had saved one of the other men, and the other wasn't severely wounded, and now a foreign man. He and his staff could deal with this amount, but he hoped that he wouldn't have to see many of those bodybags, four of which he'd already used.

Konika lay on her front with her hand sheilding her head. She felt like she was in another Alexandrian air raid again, but the absence of the booming orchestra of bombs was enough to bring her swiftly back to the present. In a way, the eerie quiet was more disturbing. She turned to Mira, crouched beside her.
"I've never seen creatures like that before." She whispered.

Command Post
Brookland nodded to the medic, and inspected his surroundings. He realised his Zerrick pistol was lying on a nearby table, and he'd lost his M52 Kernikov bolt-action when the Huey went down. There was no immediate danger, but he didn't much like the feeling of being under-armed.
"Thankyou." He replied finally. "Well, I'm not much use to anyone if I'm this weak." he reasoned to himself. "I think I'll take your advice then, doc." He sighed, slumping back against the bedding.

Sanctaphrax's O.Z.


On the edge of the forest surrounding the Sanctaphrax barracks a group of women converged. One woman in uniform wearing a unique blue kepi had raised her hand, then looking to her rear to see if the mortars were ready she lowered her hand.


"DEATH TO THE OPRESSORS!!!" *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*


The women charged firing thier rifles and throwing rocks, using the fire from the stolen Federal mortar for support. Standing on rock was the woman in a blue kepi "Keep on Sisters!!! Drive them to the sea!!!"


FOREST CAMP

Mira turned to Konika "I haven't either Sister" she wispered. After few more moments Rosa was heard "Okay everyone I think they have passed over us now". As every one stood Mira spoke "Well we should continue to the Med tent, it isn't far".

Forest, Rebel Camp
"Right." Konika nodded, then they made their way over to the medic encampment. She took the clothes handed over to her and casually discarded her own, re-dressing where she stood in the middle of the camp. When she had finished, she turned to Mira and smiled.
http://uploads.savefile.com/users/uploads/koni_medic.jpg
"How do I look?" She asked.

OOC: did you draw that CA? Wow you are good if you did!


IC:


FOREST CAMP


Mira smiled at Konika "You look wonderful Sister Konika! Truly you are one of us now! I think you should probably see Mother now, so you can get an assignment" Mira looked around a little "Mother should be at her command center, right over there" she pointed to a shack near the center of camp

OOC: Haha, yes, but I think I still gotta perfect the 'sketchy' look O.o

IC:
"Okay!" She nodded enthusiastically. In all her efforts to come across as dedicated, she was finding herself really getting into her role. She'd almost be sad to leave the rebels. But she had a mission that had to be carried out, and that was the most important thing.

She stepped into the tent of Commander Rosa with respectful caution, bags of medical supplies slung over her shoulder. "Koni Navokomic, ready for assignment." She stated. She looked a lot more confident than she felt.

OOC: Well I am certain that you will get better!



IC:


Commander Rosa stood up and looked Konika up and down. "I am glad to see you in Medic's garb Miss Novokomic. I am going to assign you to accompy 'B' squad on their patrol today, never know when one of those opressor squads will jump you." she chuckled slightly and drew a map "Here is a map to help you get around Koni, I marked off 'B' squad's location for you right here" she pointed to a red circle on the outskirts of camp. "One last thing" added Rosa suddenly "Beware of 'B' squad's commander, Allia has a bad temper"

OOC: BuMp

"Before I go, I just want to ask one thing." Konika said soberly. "Why is it that only the people of Mia have rebelled, against those people of the male attribute, and the other provinces are content with their government and people the way they are? I mean no disrespect, of course, I am merely curious to learn."

Sanctaphrax's O.Z.
On the edge of the forest surrounding the Sanctaphrax barracks a group of women converged. One woman in uniform wearing a unique blue kepi had raised her hand, then looking to her rear to see if the mortars were ready she lowered her hand.
"DEATH TO THE OPRESSORS!!!" *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
The women charged firing thier rifles and throwing rocks, using the fire from the stolen Federal mortar for support. Standing on rock was the woman in a blue kepi "Keep on Sisters!!! Drive them to the sea!!!"
"Captain?"
"Yes Corporal?"
"The natives appear to have come to welcome us."
"Oh yes, so they have. Strange welcome, rocks, mortars, rifles. Corporal, go and tell them men not to return fire. I repeat, NOT to return fire."
"Then what shall we do?"
"Tell half the men to circle from behind, we will catch them in a circle, and defeat them merely by pointing the weapons at them."
"Very good Captain"

100 troops left camp from the back, and circled round. The manouver worked perfectly, suddenly the women were surrounded by men toting Galil Assualt Rifles.
"Surrender, or we open fire!"

It was the Acid Sliver who spoke up.
Hey um, wanna know something intresting? There was a really big gun back there in the forest, and I think that is rebellion camp but I can't be sure because we were going by really fast, and I hope they won't be to mad at me because some of my acid dripped on the gun as we were going by and started to eat it.
The Synapse Sliver thought about it a moment and said:
Hmmm. I think your right, but were relativly new to this sort of thing, so, we'll go back to the S.S. Warfare and contact everyone else.

Transmission from the S.S. Warfare
To: the Occupying Governments and Atla Mia Sando
We, the Slivers of Warhaven, have spotted an Anti-Aircraft cannon in the forests separating our area's. We have suspicions it may be Rebellion Headquaters. We have the location hidden underneath the transmission. We advise against Flying over the forests.

There were four Aurora Strike Fighters standing on the deck of the Majestic, armed with napalm bombs. They were awaiting final clearance from the ground forces, and soon received it. The forest that housed the rebel camps had been broken into sections, and this mission objective was to get a fire started without harming any allied forces. Now, if the Mian rebels were harmed, that was a different story.

The fighters launched individually and were soon flying in formation. There was no threat of air-to-air combat, so the planes carried no missiles. A limited escort of F-14s was given up to the coast of Alta Mia Sando and the planes were on their own from then out. A helicopter had been shot down over the forest before, but these were jets. Although the pilots were worried, they weren't too worried.

"Coming up over the target now. We'll be there in half a minute."

"Roger, arming bombs."

OOC: Was that because of my transmission or did you already suspect the forest earlier and that was just the icing on the cake?

OOC: Was that because of my transmission or did you already suspect the forest earlier and that was just the icing on the cake?

OOC: A little of both. I figured if they had camps in the woods, we should burn them out, and you helped segue it in for me.

Main Street, O.Z.
Command Post, O.Z.

Colonel West received the transmission from Armandian Cheese. Although they had hoped to use a different kind of psychological warfare-- a shock and awe demonstration-- the prospects of leaflets and shopping days did sound good. If the women were distracted for long enough, the entire movement might fall.

"Contact the Armandians and tell them we're willing to help them in any way we can."



"We simply put out every idea we could. While leaflets alone may not do the job, our main point is to overhaul the entire government structure in the area and to turn it into a propaganda machine. These women are obviously insane, and while "shock and awe" is usually effective, probably won't apply to such fanatics. That is why the older generation needs to be defeated through brute force (which we cannot contribute as of now, but it appears that you are doing the job well), but the younger one needs to be...convinced. He, he, he...Anyways, our propaganda team requests protection from your forces, as six men with briefcases, black suits, and black sunglasses do look fairly conspicuous. Thank you for your assistance."

Status Report

To Senator O'Reilly:

Senator,

Our campaign in Alta Mia Sando has been received well by the country's normal population, and we have taken a leadership role in bringing the allied forces together against the insurgents in the Mia provence. However, we have met a resistance faction, and after a brief skirmish we maintained superiority over the Mians.

They seem to have modern technology, though not in the capacity that we do. We expect to overwhelm them in numbers and offensive capability. We recently began a fire-bombing campaign against their camps in the heavily-wooded forests outside of the capital city.

In regards to the city proper, we have punched a hole in their forces and are now occupying the main road into the city. We have established checkpoints and are only allowing allied soldiers to enter the city via that route.

We have not yet begun the psychological warfare campaign, but we expect to have a compilation of images to distribute, along with leaflets that we will begin dropping on the city shortly.

I will report further as the situation dictates.

Lt. General Steve Briggs.

bump?

To: Lt. General Steve Briggs
From: Giles Sanchec, Secretary of Defence

I write on behalf of my lady the Most Revere'd Prime Minister, Abrenda Talimm. I must inform you we have had no regular reports from our unit working under you in Atla Mia Sando, and the helicopter charged with their transport did not return. In the interests of our specialist, we ask for any information you have on them and their welfare.

Additionally, should we not receive contact from TC forces either, we will assume the worst on behalf of the safety of your troops and our team. A large task force will be dispatched with a search and rescue objective, with permission of the Atla Mia Sando government.

We await your reply.

Good health to you,

- G. Sanchec

OOC: Is this going to pick back up now that the holidays are over?
