The announcement was all over the international news channels; Itinerate Tree Dweller was expanding into the Americas. The selected areas, Washington, Oregon, Nevada and Utah, were all preparing for the arrival of the ITD forces. Some militias were forming, but they would fall easily under the force that is ITD.

The ships arrived at the Washington coast at 7 AM; 3200 ships total. The voyage had been unexpected, navy forces were told to make haste and land as soon as they could. 12 hours later, bases were being set up for the offensive. Resistance was expected to be light and random, the people were not well armed as in other parts of the continent.

By noon the next day, the ITD forces controlled the power grid and the communication systems. ITD continued on....

We look forward to cordial relations with our new North American neighbours.

OOC: Sorry ITD but if this is the same land DA occupied, it's not yours, Layarteb handed over the land to North Germania, sorry about that, come over to UK on Earth II, we'll have tea and scones!

Yeh, if it was DA's or Kahta's, it's mine.

You could RP an invasion of North Germania, but the resistance would be higher, and NAANP might get invovled.

Thanks, Kriego.

Aye, you could try invading.

If you did, the following nations would immediately attack you:

Layarteb (Oct 2003)
Soviet Bloc (Oct 2003)
The Order of Reptiles (Oct 2003)

Gotta love The October Alliance.

OOC: No problem but how come you have Kahtan land as well? Was he interlinked with DA - or something. Or was Layarteb just generous!

ooc: The states of Washington, Oregon, Utah and Nevada were not DA land, and I clearly have the land marked as mine in the Earth II thread. So... what's the problem? This is all west coast. DA was on the eastern side of North America.

OOC: No problem, I just thought that the land was DA and I didn't want a big arguement to start over it, however, seeing as it is not, good luck in your conquests.

The offer of a tea party still stands! :P

OOC: Kahta was kicked out for being an ass after DA was banned.

I thought Pernica had Washington and Oregon?

I thought Pernica had Washington and Oregon?

ooc: He gave up all of his claims except for Alaska.

OOC: oh, carry on, then.

IC: The California Republic takes note of this recent development.

OOC: Sorry ITD but if this is the same land DA occupied, it's not yours, Layarteb handed over the land to North Germania, sorry about that, come over to UK on Earth II, we'll have tea and scones!

Stop annoying us in Earth II. You have no idea what you are talking about. This land all belonged to Pernica who wished to leave Earth II and gave up his possessions. They were never DA nor Kahta.

Rebel forces were no match for the ITDGF forces that poured over the land. A total of 1.5 million soldiers had arrived on the boats, 300k more were expected, but delayed due to sea conditions. Washington and Oregon were under complete control by the ITD forces. Inroads were being made into Nevada and Utah, but significant forces were still being shipped to the front lines.

Already, civilians were being drafted into temporary reserve divisions, they were being armed with what guns were available in the colonies in hope that they could police their own people so that the ITD forces could fight on the front lines.

The Tides Calm
The fresher divisions were landing on the oregon shore in Cedar Point and being loaded onto a railway that would lead them to Chemult. From Chemult, however, they would need to drive to reach the Nevada colony. Those who didnt fit on the train were shipped in via the river connected to Cedar Point. They would then establish a temporary airbase for the transport planes.

Regular army airborne troops were also being sent in, but in smaller numbers. The operation was going smoothly, save for a few rebel skirmishes. The colonies would be under complete imperial control by the end of the week.

Nevada was taken, at least the territories that were ceded to ITD. Utah layed in front of the ITD soldiers, this would be a more difficult task, as mormon extremists were probably already aware of the invasion. Mormonism was not recognized as a legal religion in ITD and its colonies, so any victory by the ITDGF would spell the doom of Mormonism in Utah.


ooc: Utah has 12.5 million people on Earth II, of which 375,000 are regular army, and another 500,000 could find their way into minor militias. They know the terrain and the cities and are religious extremists that will not stand for a government controlled by foreign imperialists.

Official Announcement:
The Imperium has 1,500,000 followers of the Mormon faith, all of which require immediate removal. We will allow them to flee to other sections of the globe, but they cannot stay here.

Also, we have captured roughtly 4,500 members of the cult of Scientology. They will executed as soon as possible.

Transmission Ended.

OOC: Yawn. Early. Sorry for short post.

GOVERNMENT STATEMENT; REGARDING ITD
Send over all your political prisoners to Hawaii. We can then transfer them to a more suitable place in the USSR for rehabilitation.

Official Response:
Due to transportation issues, we are only able to send over 120,000 at this time. We will try and find alternative means of transporation. Most of these dissidents are too old to be reeducated and to young to be liquified. They should be in Hawaii within 72 hours.

Very well then.

The cold air rushed across the valley, causing leaves and dirt to be picked up and dropped shortly afterwards, as if the wind was playing a game. The night had progressed well. 1200 metal poles were already imbedded into the ground, reaching 50 feet into the air. Around them stood the figures of men and women, all doomed to die. Exhausted, the men and women, who had worked through the night, collapsed and tried desperately to sleep.

"Each and every one of you, serving no purpose to the Imperium, will now be put to death in accordance with Imperial statute 153c. You will receive no mercy from us, so do not beg."

One by one, the bodies were impaled on the iron poles, catching on the hooks and barbs that plagued the surface of the devices of death. The process, refined yet simple, was long and painful for the prisoners.

A prisoner is hoisted above the instrument of death via a rope harness tied around their waist. The harness provides a sudden drop, and gravity does the rest. Afterwards, weights may be tied to the prisoners to drag them down further, but only if more room is needed at the top.

ooc: Kind'a barbaric/sadistic, don't you think?

"While no supporters of Mormonism or Scientology, we in California find this impaling business to be a most uncivilized and archaic form of execution. We also find it draconian that these people should be executed merely for their religion. While ideally these people would not be punished for their religious beliefs at all, we request that at the very least a quicker, less painful method of execution be used.

-Will Burton"

ooc: Sadistic, yes. However, it is a very public type of execution, and it is very effective at quelling rebellious factions within an area.

ic:
This is the prescribed method of execution for political dissidents, they had a fair chance of abandoning their cult and reporting to a Imperial reeducation facility. They failed to surrender, now they face the consequences.

"At least have the decency to use a guillotine. Robespierre himself was more civilized than you are acting. You are not making a very good impression on your neighbor.
