"In response to threats from the tyrannical and despotic General Craig of TBD, we are going to be providing more provisions to our 400,000 acre embassy complex in TBD. We will not tolerate TBD threats against our soldiers and our national possessions, be they in Mississippian territory or outside of our territory."


Czarina Alice Fabus




Secret IC: The "Provisions" include 6 more divisions to be airlifted into the embassy, thus raising the total to 12 divisions there. Also 250 nuclear tipped artillery shells will be airlifted into the embassy. There will also be over 50000 tons of various supplies moved into the embassy over the next few weeks, in addition to lots more remotely controlled automated 20mm, 5.56mm, and 7.62mm Miniguns.

The problem is, I won't let your forces go through Burnsian territory. I'm giving you a warning; any and all Mississippian forces trying to get through our country will be shot or captured. Your choice, Fabus, turn back.

"We are going to press ahead with plans for "Operation Tiger", we will instigate a war with TBD and restore the Fabus monarchy, this will entail using MSAAS operatives dressed as TBD special operations, to attack the army and RG forces stationed at our base in TBD. We will also detonate charges aboard one of our ships in the main harbor in TBD and blame it on the Burnsians, the charges will be standard TBD issue naval commando charges, procured through our various sources. We will soon unleash the full weight of the WACL against the criminal government of TBD and see the Fabus monarchy restored."

OOC: Just so you know, we don't have naval commandos. The marines take care of everything, and they just use C4.

OOC: DA, you can't ignore me in this one, as TBD is one of my allies. You instigate a war with her, you also fight me if TBD wants the help. If you wish to instigate an ignore when I enter battle, I advise TBD to do the same to you for choosing to ignore an ally of her's engaged in military support.

At this time, I have several ships in orbit relating to a different conflict. This, however, is a conflict that cannot be ignored. If you wish, when war breaks out I will provide several of my ships to help. They will be forced to enter atmosphere and fight, which puts them at a distinct disadvantage due to them being unable to use their jump engines. They will have to enter atmosphere to avoid hitting your soldiers during the fighting. Since the ships I am sending look like overlarge fighters, you can claim them as being from an ally that is also on earth to your people.

I have you on my ignore list, I only am seeing this because I did a "View single post" option.

Anyway, I think it's been made quite clear before, I don't want you in my threads.

And TBD is a her.

OOC: Yes, and I know why. But in this case, it is a case of an ally being involved. If TBD doesn't want my help, it won't be issued.

OOC: Yes, and I know why. But in this case, it is a case of an ally being involved. If TBD doesn't want my help, it won't be issued.



Ooc- You're a light-weight tiny nation, if it comes to a fight, she has a few decent allies about her size, and I have a few decent allies about my size, we don't need dozens of people, anyway, these things never come to war, so don't worry. Anyway, if I ignore you IC, I ignore you IC, whether or not a fight starts with yor ally etc. Doesn't really matter.

OOC: Ignoring a legitimate ally, no matter the tech level, is actually bad form for RPing. Personally, the only thing I have against you is that. ICly, my nation is obligated to offer help whenever an ally is under threat of war, no matter the leader's personal oppinion of the opposition. This is just a case of my nation following its code.

And while I'm small, my fleet size is nothing to simply dismiss.

Ooc- So this means I could bring in an ally with Death Star super ships that can take you out in one hit? Get real, but above all else, get out of my thread with OOC crap, if you want to argue the merits of my ignoring you, then I ask you use IM or TG... You're spamming my thread and even after being asked to leave.

We would be very pleased to have your help. As long as the rest of the world doesn't start going off about aliens, we give you full authorization to use any and all force necessary against the Mississippian aggressors. Again, we thank you for being such a steadfast ally in these trying times.

Ooc-

TBD, we should either talk about peace conference (we'll just pay you lots of money and give you some weapons to shut your arab types up and leave our base alone) or we can talk war (we'll just beat your arabs into submission or unleash a RSBW burnsian only bio weapon)

Anyway, I believe it is your line in the William-Sylvia stuff, yes?

OOC:

Well, I don't think that peace will quench my bloodlust right now ;). So, let's watch as each and every bomber you send in gets shot down by both the AMBSDS and patrol craft. Also, we'll do a nice public hanging with piano wire (hung, drawn, and quartered style of course) for anyone still left alive and somewhat functioning in that embassy that's about to get bombed.

I replied, by the way.

Ooc- You do know the embassy not only has it's own nuclear siloes, it has SDI defenses, airstrips, it's own small air force, (including 100+ MiG-41s) :D And we don't get taken alive, each person there has one round in their pocket, they know what to do if it comes to it. This embassy won't be made into another Firebase Fabus.

OOC: Nukes? How the hell did you get nukes into there? I'm going to have to turn the thing into a sinkhole now. Anyways, if you want to start, I'll begin murdering your soldiers. :D

OOC: Nukes? How the hell did you get nukes into there? I'm going to have to turn the thing into a sinkhole now. Anyways, if you want to start, I'll begin murdering your soldiers. :D


Ooc- I really don't think you could "Murder" my soldiers. Your entire army collapsed in the face of about 10,000+ foreign soldiers led by a Hogswetin brigade that nearly was destroyed by just 1 company of SRG... Granted you are larger than me, it'd be a good fight, but I just don't think an army composed primarily of third worlders not used to using advanced tech, would stand any real chance against the might of Mississippi...

OOC: So can I start proving you wrong, or do you want to make the first strike? :)

OOC: So can I start proving you wrong, or do you want to make the first strike? :)


Ooc- Arghh, alas, I don't want a war over a non-issue... I don't really remember why or how this started. Wasn't this some threat your guy issued to my leader? I just fail to see what happened that led to this escalation and now the brink of war over something I personally can't remember.

Ooc-

If you want, attack the embassy, we'll have some fighting in and around, it'll probably end in a stalemate, we won't send any more forces or invade TBD though, I don't want some massive deal that turns into a matter of which of us can bring more numbers to bear in a given area or not. That is just my fear, we have dozens of allies, and they'd swarm around... If you want to do something, my suggestion is attempt to break the embassy perimeter, it gets into brutal h-t-h fighting after a few days when both sides are low on ammo, etc, then things die down, and the attacking stalemates and it moves to peace tables. sound okay?


Basically, we're both large nations with large armies, some all-out war over a tiny embassy and trivial issues, firstly, it's just weird, secondly, it would likely become "I have more!" and then "No, I do!" because nobody really wants to lose. So I suggest we have a slugging match in and around the embassy, and see what happens when the smoke from the fighting clears. Whether or not I keep the embassy in the end doesn't really matter, I don't plan to invade TBD so we really don't need it. If you think this idea will work, I'm game to try it. Just jump on AOL or something so we can talk more.

OOC: Actually, it was you attempting to put thousands of troops past my borders into your base. And why don't wyou want to invade? I thought I was at the top of your hit list. I'm disappointed now. :(

OOC: Just as a note, it's slightly ridiculous to assume that he'd just LET you build all these nuclear silos on an embassy.

Ooc- Actually, I only did that with the troops because you were talking about invading the embassy in some thinly veiled threat. Anyway, that hit list was really more of a "Hey, we don't like your gov'ts, but we won't do anything unless you're down and weak and then we'll blindside you with no warning..." The WACL isn't really meant to be an aggressive alliance unless it's like a once in a lifetime chance to do something great through aggression. We're basically a self-defense alliance against communism (We've been around for what, nearly a month or so? And we've not gone after anybody yet, that should tell you, we're not aggressors)

First of all, you're on my ignore list (you've been there for a long long while now... Secondly, William Fabus was once the King of TBD (Sylvia Katrina was the queen, but basically William was the true power of TBD because she gained power using MS operatives to assassinate the previous leader, and maintained power with the threat of MS intervention against any who dared question her).

During William's reign, he granted numerous contracts to MS corporations, and he allowed the creation of the 400,000 acre "embassy" (thinly disguised military base that has an embassy building on it, thus it's called an Embassy) he saw to it the base "Embassy" has the facilities for about 1,000 fixed wing aircraft, 5,000 tanks, 800,000 troops (but we only keep about 150,000 there, as per agreements made with the new gov't that came into power after William and Sylvia's rule ended)

OOC: If the reason you had me on ignore was that ridiculous Admiral A-1 thing, I no longer use them... anyways, sounds like you ran in a pretty good ringer on him. IMO, having troops there would be reasonable, but saying you have nukes on the base? I really don't think anyone would be willing to accept that :|

Out of curiosity, do you have RPs available detailing the construction of these various base facilities? *wants to see how you ever slipped all this in under his nose*

OOC: Axis Nova, that's for TBD and DA to call, not you. If they agree DA has nuclear missiles in TBD, DA has nuclear missiles in TBD. If they agree DA has the Death Star, 14 Star Destroyers, and the entirety of Star Trek parked in that base, then it's there. It is not up to you to decide the validity of what DA has in TBD when neither are your country.

Ooc- Firstly, TBD = her. Secondly, when William Fabus was the ruler of TBD, a lot of things happened quietly and "Behind the iron curtain" this was one of them. It came out in earlier RPs and was mostly covered on when the Fabus regime finally came crashing down with the foreign invasions.

OOC: As I said, it is just my opinion. Though, the image of the Death Star sitting on and crushing an area of land much smaller than it does provoke incredible hilarity.

Edit: Ah, I see, DA. *bows out*

OOC: All DA has to remember was the MAD policy.

Sargent 1st Class Jabil Al-Jarakeem ran among his troops, checking packs, inspecting weapons, and changing batteries. His men, the 2nd Platoon of the 24th Airborne Division, were on point. Brass had said that stealth wasn't necessary for this mission, it was just a balls-out firefight against the Mississippians. Covering his right and left flank were tanks, and they had artillery support and air cover whenever they needed it. Digging into his pocket, Sargent Al-Jarakeem found his battle assignment and looked it over. His men were to move out as soon as they heard or saw the rocket artillery flying overhead. He waited, and watched.

An-serrat, sat, unt-cherra... KWO!

At the command, all twenty rocket artillery platforms opened up and let hell flow from their weapons. The rockets, mostly bunker-busters, locked on individually to key Mississipian positions, would take at least ten minutes to climb, descend, and hit their targets. Most targeted positions were Mississipian barracks and ammo dumps, identified by documents recovered after the revolution in the Palace. However, some rockets also flew towards enemy AAA and machine gun nests, above ground, which were confirmed by Burnsian Intelligence Initiative spy sattelites.

"Sirs, your country has been illegally and immorally invaded by a corrupt empire that has no business other than their ridiculous pretense that they're 'resupplying' an embassy. Yerffej would like to offer you help in this situation. Just give the word, and five Infantry Divisions, five Armored Divisions, three squadrons of fighters and one squadron of ers will be transported to TBD in all haste, with the goal of freeing your country from the hostile invaders.
Your humble servant,
Honorable President Thomas Davis II, Yerffej"

OOC: Well, I just launched an invasion of his embassy. It shouldn't be more than a 12-hour op. If he decides to press this, then I shall require your services in obliterating him. Thanks. :)

No problem, just notify me via telegram when I'm needed.

We will stand with Decisive Action on this. An expeditionary force is being organized to defend the embassy area.

We urge a friendly nation to provide us with airstrips. We can't transport our entire army immediately, but recon aircraft can be there within hours.

Currently planning to move (air force):

(A Wing is comprable to a division, a squadron is around 12-16 aircraft)

-Interceptor Wings. 1, 17, 21, 25, 33 (C-5 Quetzal II- equiv. to Eurofighter)

-Heavy Fighter Wings. 2, 3, 5, 16, 20, 23 (C-6 Ehecatl II- equiv to F-22)

-Close Air Support Wings. 8, 9, 10 (A-1 Vulture, equivalent to the Su-25)

-Rapid Strategic Bomber Wing 16 (nuclear-capable)

-(Recon) Sqn. 4 "Eagle Eyes" (Classified)

-Various support aircraft (tankers, AWACS, etc.)

This air fleet, unless this occurs in Earth II, will need to refuel in friendly territory. If it occurs in Earth II, as we don't actually exist in it, will come in from the north Atlantic and find someone to refuel with.

bump

On the ground, the commander of the embassy had been handed satellite operations photos showing massive build-ups of Burnsians soldiers around the embassy. So when it fianlly came to their firing upon the embassy, massive amounts of counter-battery fire were almost immediately brought to bear.

As the enemy rockets started to crash down, the friendly rockets were already streaking out. MiG-41s were jetting down the runways to get airborne, Mi-24 pilots were racing for their hardened hangars to get to their craft.

The engines of nearly 5,000 T-98s would soon rumble to life.


All across the base, soldiers, many in various states of undress, were racing out of their barracks, getting dressed as they ran, having friends who were already dressed toss them rifles and armor as they ran. They had to get to their positions to reinforce perimeter security.






Ooc- Okay, from here on out, this is between TBD and DA, this thread is CLOSED to anybody who is neither, not TBD, or not DA. (That means anybody isn't her, or me, stay out and don't clutter this)

OOC: First off, you don't have 5,000 aircraft at that base. There is no way. Second, most of your barracks have been blown out of the ground; you wouldn't have a lot of pilots left.

OOC: First off, you don't have 5,000 aircraft at that base. There is no way. Second, most of your barracks have been blown out of the ground; you wouldn't have a lot of pilots left.


Ooc- T-98s are tanks, of which we do indeed have 5,000 of, (we have 100 MiG-41s and about 100 other assorted fixed-wing aircraft, and perhaps 300 helicopters) we have 2 RG Armored Divisions, thus that is where the 5000 tanks come from. Secondly, you fail to take into account, we invest heavily in air defenses, anti-missile defenses, and all buildings are hardened against attack. We don't use wooden barracks, we use reinforced concrete and hardened steel-titanium alloy with some depleted uranium and then some other classified materials.

OOC: Not to prolong this or anything, but a modern bunker-buster is designed to go through hardened concrete, etc. Also, I don't doubt that you have 5,000 tanks, but I do doubt that you can fit them all into the embassy.

OOC:A single Armored Division does not contain 5,000 tanks... thats more like a Army or a Army Corp.

Ooc- OMG! Can't people read, this is closed to non-DA, non-TBD (No offense, just TG or IM, please)... And one last thing, I have 2 RG Armored Divisions, and a single RG Armored Division contains the tanks that 3-4 other nations regular armored divisions contain.

OOC: I thought you said 80 acres. Alright, sorry about that, but your bunkers still suffer some losses.

OOC: I thought you said 80 acres. Alright, sorry about that, but your bunkers still suffer some losses.


Ooc- Wow, don't know where you got 80 acres, the embassy (Base) houses 6 divisions... 2 parachute, 2 infantry, and 2 RG Armored. Anyway, 400,000 is the figure that has been out there since the collapse of the Fabus regime and the embassy first came to attention.

OOC: Do me a favor and post the bunker losses so that we can get on with the RP...

Around the base, a few dozen of the helicopter pilots were dead when their barracks took a direct hit. An entire battalion of the 1st RG Armored Brigade of one of the RG divisions present was also dead, they had been assembled outside their barracks for inspection when shells and rockets started crashing down.

As the soldiers were now taking up positions on the fortified perimeter, and the tankers were readying to drive their tanks into combat, the counter-battery fire continued, soon to be joined in by 200 Mi-24s, 100 MiG-41s, and 100 Su-25s that were already either in the process of taking off, or well in the air.

The Mississippian 10th fleet, 1,500 miles from TBD on maneuvers, was ordered to provide any and all support the base commander requested. The fleet began to steam towards TBD, but most likely by the time they got within range to do much, the bulk of the fighting be over.

Fox Two, radioed a pilot, deep in engagement with a MiG-41. Pushing on with the afterburners, he saw the unfortunate Mississippian bail out of his aicraft. Making a snap turn, the pilot mowed down the enemy with a short burst of cannon fire, leaving only a bloody pulp where his body once was. On the ground, the elite forces were not making as much progress. Bogged down in combat, the 7th Helljumpers were still fighting off eighty T-98s.

[i]"ARTILLERY! GRID: 1-4-12-12-99! I SAY AGAIN, ARTILLERY! GRID: 1-4-12-12-99! WE NEED H.E.!" screamed a Helljumper radioman, leaning into his microphone. About twenty seconds later, fourteen T-98s erupted in a huge, cascading fireball, bringing cheers from the Burnsians.

The Helljumper's radio crackled. "7th Helljumpers, status?!"

"Meeting the parameter! Tanks are advancing! We're about to meet the parameter defenses, I say again, we are about to meet parameter defenses! Requesting RONA standby!"

"Affirmative, 7th HJ, you have RONA. Out."

Ooc- I'd appreciate it if you let me handle how many tanks and planes I'm losing...


Anyway.




Ic- The fleet out in the ocean decided to launch cruise missiles against the parts of the base perimeter being breached. They were high-yield conventional explosives, on long-range advanced cruise missiles... They'd be hitting their targets in about 10 minutes. The ships came to a halt and began firing their missiles, some carrying cluster munitions, a total of 500 missiles were fired towards the crumbling front perimeter of the base.

OOC: And I'd appreciate it if you'd take into consideration that, on last report, you were 1,500 miles away. No fleet can travel that fast in I'd say four hours, at the least. Also, there are patrols out in the water, and it's roughly another 2,500 miles from international waters to Highfather.

Ooc- Precisely, they're firing long range missiles from 1,000+ miles away. The missiles travel at about Mach 7 and they've a range of about 1,800 miles.

OOC: 1,000 miles away from the embassy? I'm not going to drag this out. So let's just say that 250 missiles were fired, as a compromise.

In all, two hundred tanks and one hundred and fifty infantry were blown apart. Helljumpers and infantry dived for cover, still trying to press through the Mississippian lines. Suddenly, they heard four huge explosions - sonic booms. Five B1-B Lancers and ten B-2N Spirits screamed overhead, unleashing napalm canisters and anti-armor munitions. The marines cheered again, gaining a new will to fight.

"Targeting solution acquired, sir," said the Weapons Officer to Captain Lamar.

"Acknowleged. Begin firing sequence."

"Aye, sir," said the officer, punching a few keys and turning a knob. About thirty seconds later, twenty Shkval supercavitating torpedoes and eighty Spar'on Anti-Ship missilies were unleashed from the five Regal-Class Submersible Carriers. All munitions had one target: the Mississippian battle group.

On the first ships that were part of the "screening force" that was always a few miles out in fan formation in front of the carriers, the radars detected the incoming missiles, the Phalanx anti-missile systems went to work, neutralizing most of the incoming munitions... Although one of the three carriers sustained at least half a dozen hits, being knocked out of operation and only barely managing to stay afloat. All totaled, at least twelve other ships, mostly destroyers and two frigates, were either sunk or damaged to such an extent that they were barely staying afloat.



At the embassy, the MiG-41s and Su-25s ad been in the air a while now and were firing their cluster bombs, air-to-surface missiles, and 20mm cannons at any enemy units they happened across.





Meanwhile, the entire Mississippian cabinet was meeting, after having first having to deal with NEMA related problems. They decided to immediately petition the Czarina to personally speak with the leadership of TBD.


And that she did, picking up the phone and calling Craig.



Ooc- And I suggest we handle the conversation between the two of them, on IM.

OOC: Alright, I'll be on around noon.

IC:

SAM batteries, set up around the city of Highfather in times of war, were called up to shoot down Mississippian fighters in the air above the embassy. Also, several ZSU-X12 Anti-Aircraft Batteries were moved in to face the threat. Finally, 400 F-70 Air Superiority Fighters were called on station and scrambled at Highfather Air Base.

On the ground, with artillery fire and CAS, the Helljumpers, tanks, and infantry were slowly but surely breaking through the Mississippian lines. So far, 200 people had been killed and 50 tanks had been either destroyed or put out of commission.

Back out in the ocean, the Regal-Class submersible aircraft carriers fired another volley of torpedoes, targeting only the ships with AAA capabilities.

Ooc- I'll be on much of today, that is after I'm done playing Deus Ex... :)

The phone in the office of General Craig was ringing.

The president, just finishing his coffee, picked up the phone. "Craig,"

It was the Czarina, Alice Fabus, she was quite upset, "Hello... General... We can't help but notice your forces are attacking our embassy, base, whatever you want to call it."

Oh, you just noticed? Typical. What do you want?"

She smiled, "Well see the thing is, unless your want your country turned into a nation of the living dead via the IG Virus, which we have plenty of scud missiles filled with at the base, you'll stop the attack and agree to a truce."

"So you're threatening me. If I heard correctly, my forces are breaking through your lines right now. Any SCUD launcher would have an artillery shell three feet up its ass the minute it showed itself."

She smiled, "What about the hardened missile silos, we have at least two hundred silos at the base, you'd never have time to retaliate, our first strike could wipe you out."

"Well that would be a waste of good missies and lives. I ask you, Mrs. Fabus, have you ever heard of the MAD concept?"

She smiled, "Yes, but MAD only applies if you have time to fire back... If our missiles are already on your land, all we have to do is launch and detonate, you'd need at least one or two minutes to launch your missiles against us. Anyway, we have missile defense systems that would stop whatever submarine based missiles you had... Whatever defenses you had, would be ineffective against missiles launched from your own land."

"You think that we would let you fire missiles? And it most certainly would not be a matter of two minutes, young lady, the second you fire the missiles is the minute that we launch ours. At Mississippi. You."

Alice grinned, "Well, we're confident that your systems aren't up to our standards, we spend forty percent on our armed forces, anyway... What say we call a truce and talk... We're willing to remove all WMDs from the embassy base compound and make a few other concessions if you're willing to sign treaties agreeing we have a right to the base and agree not to attack our base, fair enough?"

"You obviously have a sense of overconfidence. That's what Hitler had, and look what happened to him. Anyways, I won't allow that base on my land. Period."

She smiled, "Okay, we'll just start calling in the entire WACL and various other alliances, after we isolate you from your own allies for your refusal to be reasonable and negotiate."

"Pah. I have friends in very high places, ones that will not desert me for having a base on my land that I want to get rid of. And the WACL is no more than a fat, lazy cat that lounges on a chair in front of the fire. No nations on your 'hit list' have been even threatened by the bulk of the alliance."

Alice sighed, "Just listen for once would you... We could so easily overrun our base if you want to spend over a million or two million soldiers doing it, but that would force us into a massive war, which you could never win..."

"What makes you so sure? And don't pull any of that race crap either. We can fight just as hard as you can."

Alice sighed again, "Just listen, I personally don't care what race you folks are, just leave our base alone or else you force my hand, okay?"

"What can you do? You're just a girl."

Alice frowned, "Just a girl eh? Well you'd be surprised what this "girl" could have the armed forces she commands do... Anyway, how about we talk seriously, we'll remove all our nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons from the embassy, and we will agree not to use the base as a staging point to ever harm your government."

"How am I going to trust you?"

She fired back, "I could ask you the same question... My past speaks for itself, as does that of my husband, we've always kept our word."

"You certainly haven't. I haven't been touched by the WACL yet. I'm starting to get bored over here."

She was confused, "What? You actually want wars and fights, do you know wars tend to kill millions if not billions, and many good and experienced soldiers die... Most of our soldiers have ten years of training and at least ten years of experience, we can't afford to throw them away in pointless wars, perhaps if you shifted you army from peasant warriors to professional soldiers, you'd realize wars are rarely a good idea, only a last resort."

"I never said I wanted war, Fabus. Here are my terms. You get to keep the base. You reduce it by 200,000 acres. You take off the WMDs."

“And we inspect it," he added.

Alice sighed, "We won't reduce it at all, we'll remove all WMDs, and we'll allow you in only as long as it takes for you to see all the WMDs are removed."

"You reduce the base by 100,000 acres."

She frowned, "There is no need for that... We will reduce it by none, and if you really want, you can personally walk through the base, your safety being guaranteed by me."

"100,000 acres or nothing, Fabus."

She sighed, "No, no, and no... We are making big compromises in regards to the embassy's WMDs, I'll add something else to the table... I'll personally tell William to give up any ideas about fomenting a rebellion against you, okay?"

"With our White Codes, you have almost no chance. 100,000 acres."

She sighed, "William is the Governor-General of South Africa, he also has the support of nearly five hundred thousand white paramilitaries around the world, trust me, he is a potential threat to you... Almost all whites in TBD own firearms, and have secret hidden caches of military grade weapons, William saw to that, he could at anytime he wishes, tell them to rise up... I can see he doesn't..."

"All whites in TBD are to be shot if they are not in their houses."

Alice sighed, "You don't get it, the first time they come out of their homes, they'd be doing so armed to the teeth…”

"With the weapons that were confiscated as soon as their houses were searched."

Alice sighed again, "Look, just call a truce until we can meet in person and work out the total terms and exact wording of the agreement, okay?"

"Sure. Our troops will not pull out, however. They will just stop shooting."

Alice frowned, "You only have a small patch of about a few hundred acres near the breach you managed in the perimeter, why bother staying there?"

"Because I can't stand the fact of you Mississippians reclaiming the territory paid for in blood by my troops."

Alice stifled a laugh, "Fair enough, I guess so."

"Is that all? I'm going out for lunch."

Alice didn't have anything else to say, "Sure, that's all... Have a fun lunch... Maybe you'll want to come to Mississippi for lunch, eh?"

Alice didn't have anything else to say, "Sure, that's all... Have a fun lunch... Maybe you'll want to come to Mississippi for lunch, eh?"

"Over my dead body," said Craig, hanging up. He sighed and reached for the keys to his Rush.
