New's Report by CINN, the Carthaginian Imperial News Network

At 10:28 A.M. Local Time, the Khush Nuclear Reactor outside of the city of Mumbai, the largest in our vast Carthaginian Empire, exploded. A massive cloud of radiation has already killed everything within 5 miles of the reactor, and it is believed that it will reach Mumbai itself within 5 more minutes. Already, 18,000+ are feared dead. Scientists predict that the radiation will reach the nearby states of Goa, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh within the next few hours. Whisps of radiation could also reach as far as Delhi itself! As of this moment, the cause of the explosion is unknown, but the government will focus on trying to evacuate people before it begins a full-scale investigation.

Unknown Pushkan nuclear Scientist: The cause must be the melt down of the core. It can't be a leak, if it was the explosion wouldn't be as violent.
This might be sabotage.

Official press release, Cottish Ministry of Foreign Affairs

"Today, immediately after the news of the nuclear accident in Lightning Starian India was recieved, a telegram went out from the Electorial Palace in Cotlandstad where Elected Leader Rothsky offered his and the Cottish peoples condolences to the people of Lightning Star and the families of those who perished in the blast."

The Emperor of Layarteb takes note of the situation and is available for assistance if necessary. We do have one NC-130H Glowing Hercules radiation monitoring aircraft in Andrehervian Ukraine and one more remaining but we need that for personal uses in the event that something goes wrong. However, we're nearly done with the Ukrainian op.

News Update

It has now been 7 hours since the explosion and the chaos is complete. More than 1,000,000 people are confirmed dead, with estimates going as high as 30,000,000. The city of Mumbai might as well be swept off of the map, due to the fact that at least 99% of the population has died. Seeing how all that can be done has been done, the government has begun to focus on what could have caused the explosion.

we can send our first medical navy, consisting of the Hospital Ship Mumman's Hand, a Mercy Class Vessel, and her two escorts, if you wish
we can also send cargo ships to ports and bring items away from the radiation
we regret we have no personnel ships to help evacuate, but the medical and cargo ships are in Manama, not very far away

bump!

Doth thou need my assistance? We're done in And.

Doth thou need my assistance? We're done in And.

Quite certainly sir. Look at the latest CINN Report:

The Death Toll has risen to over 100,000,000 and many times that of livestock. Entire Cities have been wiped off the map, and everything within 500 miles of Mumbai is deadly. Needless to say, Bollywood has suffered immensely, seeing how only 7 actors and 1 director survived. More to come in the coming days.

The NC-130H Glowing Hercules refueled and replenished its equipment. It took off heading to the east, flying from Ukraine to India. Aerial refueling would be given on the way from a Layartebian tanker out of Denmarck. The NC-130H would need a place to land in India and base its operations, somewhere safe. The skies that night were friendly and there was little severe weather along the trip. On board, the crew wondered, "What are chances of two reactor explosions this close? Don't these people know anything about plant safety?" They shared jokes at the expense of those they were helping.

We will need a place to land the NC-130H Glowing Hercules away from the disaster zone. Mid-air refueling will be necessary for the sorties. Are these accomdations available?

The closest you can get without dying would have to be Karachi or New Delhi. We could refuel you plane mid-air for about 2 days straight, but then we have to wait at least 3 days to send oil to assist in the work on the ground.

Alright we'll probably need 4 refuelings total over the course of the flight and we'll come into New Delhi.

Roger that. Be warned though, Refugees are flooding into New Delhi and there could very well be problems there concerning death and disease and all that stuff. But hey, what else is an aid operation for?

It's not a problem. The crewmen are innocculated against just about everything out there and they are armed.

Can you be innoculated from Nuclear Radiation? Hmmm? HMMMMMMMMMM???

And what about Zombies? Hmmmm? HMMMMMMM?

You said disease. Radiation poisoning is something different. Naturally those refugees will be irradiated and I do believe there are pills you can take that can minimize the effects.

Yes.

But Disease CAUSES Zombies.

But back to the point.

The New Delhi First Military Airport has been completely turned into a hub for the aid mission.

We are giving Layarteb Hanger 1 off Landing strip 2. There are 4 strips and 5 hangers per strip.

Secret IC:

To: TLS High Command
From: Cotland High Command

Dear sirs,
we are wondering whether the nuclear radiation will affect our colony/military bases in the Lakshadweep islands, which lies just off the Indian southwestern coast. Also, Cottish personell will be available to assist, should you wish for that. We have a squadron of transports (12 C-130J) in the military airport in Lakshadweep, and are loading them with emergency aid (food and medical supplies) and health personell. Please let us know what you decide on.

Signed,
Lieutenant General Amy Bren, C.A.F.
Chief of Staff, Cotland High Command

-From Shah Khosru III

-To the Government of the Lightning Star

We note with disturbance the recent explosion in India and the problems of radiation and its spread over a vast area. We are most concerned with the effects this will have on Parthian territory in Pakistan and areas near to the blast. With that in mind, we would like to know the extent the radiation has traveled in dangerous levels and what areas it has spread to.

TLS, check post #24

we can send our first medical navy, consisting of the Hospital Ship Mumman's Hand, a Mercy Class Vessel, and her two escorts, if you wish
we can also send cargo ships to ports and bring items away from the radiation
we regret we have no personnel ships to help evacuate, but the medical and cargo ships are in Manama, not very far away

would you like our aid or not, if not they will be sent on drills out by gambia, departure within 2 weeks, and will not be able to aid you

We will send ships to assist you in the clean-up, evacuation and investigation. We will help our neighbors in this horrible tragidy. The question is do you need our help? If so they will be there in 3 days.

As you may have heard, I have pledged $15,000,000 to assist in the rebuilding and medical aid of your great land.

I have also appointed the previous to leaders of this nation to go out and solicit our fine citizens for personal donations. I feel very confident that great amounts of money will come from this endeavor.

My Secretary of Nation flew over the devasted regions this morning and reported to me that, “I’ve been in war and I’ve been a diplomat ... but I’ve never seen anything like this!" From an altitude of a few hundred feet, not a standing tree or building was visible. City block after city block had been swept clean.

Our hearts and our prays will continue to flow to the families of those affected by this most horrific event.

To Cotland and Parthia:

The level's of radiation hitting your territories will be minimal, but im afraid that they will still be there. Parthia, it will mainly fall in Baluchistan for you, so you dont have much to worry about. Cotland, it will fall on most of the Islands, but it won't be much. Mind you, nuclear fallout is alwasy a bad thing, but at least you arent in Mumbai!

We will send ships to assist you in the clean-up, evacuation and investigation. We will help our neighbors in this horrible tragidy. The question is do you need our help? If so they will be there in 3 days.

In response to all people proposing aid:

YES! WE DO NEED IT! We have lost over 100,000,000+ citizens, over 300,000,000+ are in danger, and the Indian Colonial Infrastucture over 70% destroyed. If we do not recieve aid, the Lightning Starian Coffers can't pay for this ourselves( even though we are rolling in dough, we still cant deal with this on our own.)

We in Kwaad have a number of haz-mat cleanup workers, usually used in case a nuclear bomb-I MEAN fusion generator suddenly explodes. If you need our help, I would be happy to lend them to you for a small amount of credits. We also have a number of hardass military commandos to secure the peace.

OOC: Got it ;)

IC: The C-130J aircraft approached the refugee camp set up outside New Dehli. It flew at an altitude of 100 feet, yet it wasn't going to land. The people in the refugee camp saw the greypainted plane come towards them.. it flew over them. They could see that the aft cargo ramp was open... suddenly the Hercules pulled up 55 degrees, releasing its cargo. It was Cottish MREs and pallets of water.

Soon after, another Hercules came over. And another. And another. In total, 12 C-130s flew over the camp, dropping food and clean drinking-water down to the refugees. This was just the first mission of the Hercules squadron stationed at Lakshadweep.

Soon, more food and water would be sent litteraly from heaven.

The three Merlin transport helicopters landed in the parkinglot at the Medical College in downtown Surat, which was used as a distribution central for the humanitarian aid in the region. They carried medical supplies and doctors.

http://www.mapsofindia.com/maps/gujarat/surat-city-map.gif






At the same time, another Merlin landed in Bollywood. A team of CSAR soldiers from the Cottish Navy dressed in NBC suits and armed with XM-8A2 PDWs (just in case) filed out and ran off to find the 8 survivors. They found them inside a studio which was apparently used in the film "Lagaan - Once upon a time in India".

The 8 survivors were wrapped in thermal blankets to try to isolate the radiation and virtually dragged back to the waiting helicopter. Well inside, they were sprayed with chemicals that washed off most of the radiation. Still, there were a lot left. They would have to spend a lot of time in the sickbay aboard the CCS Sudden, a Stinger class assault ship belonging to the Cottish Navy, which lay outside the Indian coast and coordinated the aide.

I must say sir that I find your demand for money in order to help people in need disgusting.

(You wait with the bill till after the help has been offered :p Just kidding. )

Off the Coast of Lightning Star.....

First Mate: Sir, we are in position

Captain Stubin: Drop anchor and send this emergency message to Lightning Star:

Hawdawg Hospital Ship Deliverance I in place. stop
Have set anchor 5 miles off coast. stop
Will be ready to recieve injured in 12 hours. stop
Establish LZ for our Medical Helicopters. stop
Will take most critical patients first. stop
No radiation treatments on board. stop
Will take burn patients. stop
Reply with orders. stop

Captain Allanis Stubing
HRN Deliverance I

Got it, radio?

Radioman: Aye, Captain message sent.

The Cottish Merlin helicopter carrying the injured from Bollywood heard the broadcast, and immediately sent the following message back.

Stingray 31: Deliverance I, Deliverance I, this is Cottish navy medevac helicopter Stingray 31, Stingray 31, requesting permission to land and transfer 8 bad cases of radiation burns. Over.

Possibly a communist enemy that could be taking a shot at this country.

Another major concern is one of the health and saftey of our co-religionists in India. We are very worried about the Parsi communities of your nation and the fatalities of their community. The Parsis are already dying out, and we fear their communities may be in danger of extinction after this disaster.

If you wish, we can give all the Parsi's who wish to leave(the number of total Parsi in our nation is 1,049,289 situated mostly around Islamabad) a free buisiness class ticket on Lightning Star Air, as well as 50,000 Asio's in compensation. This will come at no cost to you.

Stingray 31 approached Deliverance I. As the pilot aimed himself in on helipad 2, the crew chief prepared the survivors for departure from the aircraft.

The Merlin landed, and immediately the 8 survivors were placed on strechers and brought inside the bowels of the ship. The Merlin took of immediately, returning to find more survivors.

The Roman Empire sends its sympathies to the Carthaginian Empire and extends aid to our ally. As we have an immense surplus of food we will be happy to provide you with some.

OOC: Sorry Cotland I was out of pocket. Deliverance I is located near Elphantum and Lightning Star Border off the Southern East Coast.

-Hawdawg

Would it be acceptable if we could send some militia to search the area where the blast came from to confirm it wasn't sabotage? Also, we would like to send in a crew to look through the wreakage of the building for any possible remaining survivors.

RE: Aid

At the moment, the Andrehervian government is prepared to release AH£400 million to help aid the clean-up and evacuation of the area around the nuclear plant. We will also be able to send a small contingent (around 400-500) of troops to help in restoring the Status Quo in India.

Official International Communication
From-Manama, Offices Of High Sultan e-Mumman
Intended Recipients-The Lightning Star, countries offering aid
Subject-Waters opened, aid offered
Date-January 7, 2005 (M.22.3576)(elephanti traditional calendar)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The High Sultan offers his deepest sympathies to those affected by this tradgedy, and would like to offer aid again.
Our expanded and restructured Navy has a hospital ship available in Mahe (dont have the names with me right now), and another pair in Manama. They can be sent as soon as possible. Camps for refugees can be established close inside my borders, there may already be some who have fled into Elephanti lands. Aid from our budget can be arranged after we asses how much to appropriate. Aid workers can be sent across the border, including up to 20 special LAV-A military grade ambulances. If you do not reply i will assume you do not require our presence.
To those countries offering aid, all Elephanti Indian waters, aside from a 15 mile buffer from most populated areas, extended to 25 from Mahe Naval Base, are open to ships passing to/from TLS for aid purposes. We have been patrolling the area lighter than usual to avoid scaring off aid ships. The airfields at Mahe, Madura, and Chennai/Madras can be used for aid purposes as well. As long as you inform us beforehand, and do not abuse it(ie. using it for trade purposes), this offer exists until the crisis is over

NEW DEHLI/LAKSHADWEEP (CFP internet version): The aid to the poor people in disaster-striken Lightning Starian India continues. And now, the many baptist churches in Cotland have started to donate money, which has been used to buy food and water for the people there.

As you can see in the picture above, the aid gets where it's heading thanks to the Cottish Navy. The aid will continue, as Elected Leader Rothsky said earlier today, "we must help others, even though we are having problems ourselves".
