The Hunt for the War Hawk

The Pride and Joy of the Ottoman Navy was the O.E.S.S (Ottoman Empire Service Ship) War Hawk, it was a Red Tide class SSBN, build by Soviet Bloc. She was only sub of her class in the fleet. It was an honor to get command of this submarine, And the honor was given to one of the best submarine captains in the fleet…. that was Captain Mafee bin Nemo , yet Captain Nemo one thing on his mind when he got command of the O.E.S.S War Hawk, that he had in mind was pure revenge for his people, for what the Americas did to his nation. He was not an Ottomans, he is refugee of one few remaining survives of the war, that killed all his people. Now he and what’s left of people were going to get their revenge at the expense of the Ottoman Empire…there is a saying for…”Revenge is a dish best serve cold” and what he had planned was curliest revenge ever heard of …
Communist Brazil, Belem Sub Base (Ottoman Sub Base)

At Base Headquarters
Admiral Nikolai Semenovich Mordvinov ( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Ottoman01/MaxwellForrest2153.jpg) called Captain Nemo for meeting about his mission

Captain Nemo enter the Admiral Office, he had a very thick accent a mix of Russian-Scottish Accent. He was seated and he spoke” Admiral you have send for me, is this about my mission on the War Hawk?” He asked

“Yes, its about your mission… the War Hawk has been fitted to take four Typhoon warheads and 12 standard cruse missiles. You submarine is order to go to the middle Atlantic Ocean, to began war games. Where you will meet up with the High Guard and Cairo (both Delta-V SSGN classes), also the Istanbul (Kasatanov-class SSBN/SSGN refits) will be also assign to war game. You will began standard war orders in the war game, meaning a communication updates within every four to three hours .Any questions?

“No Admiral.” He replied

“Good you are dismiss, Captain.” reply the Admiral

The Good Captain good up and left. He walked to his Submarine, which lay in the massive docks. Which were holding about 8 other subs (all Portland Class Nuclear Attack Submarines) held in dock side by side. Most of the sub station at the base had been send out to do navy training missions. He took at his powerful ship, the pride of the high sea fleet. (Here is a pic of the War Hawk, a Red-Tide Class Sub made by Soviet Bloc http://img21.photobucket.com/albums...hlevenkov/1.jpg). This was going to be his tool to get his revenge, he was grateful for the Ottomans allowing his people to live in there lands of after his homeland was destroy. Yet he was not going to let the Ottomans to stand in his way of revenge, if he had to..He will destroy any Ottoman ship send to stop him from getting his revenge. He got aboard his submarine, every officer on board the sub was of were all from the same nation as the captain came from, all survives of land no one no longer even care, all but forgotten only these men remember about what to their one peaceful homeland, they bitter remember how their land was raped of its life’s and left a barren that can’t be ever habitable landmass in the middle Atlantic ocean, it now lays in the deep ocean, where no one could ever their homeland ever again. Only way the captain manger to get his own people on board the War Hawk, was because of the right of the Captain who gets to the flagship submarine to pick his crew for his mission. He enters the submarine, made his way thought to the Command Bridge of the Submarine. His second in Command, Commander Ala ad-Din bin al Hussian, stand down and allow his captain to take over

“Sir, everything is ready for the War Hawk to leave dock!” reported Commander Ala ad-Din bin al Hussian

“Good, let us leave dock.” Reply the Captain

“Very well, Captain. Ensign began to move the sub at 2 knots.” Order Commander Hussein

“Yes, Commander.” Reply the Ensign

The Submarine began to move out to open sea and submerge, as sub was 40 km in open sea, the submarine begun to surface.

“Captain, we at area you order us to take the sub.” reported Lt. Commander Pyotr Petrovich

“Now, began to arm the four cruise missiles and fire them at the Belem Sub Base, I know they our friends, but we must prevent them from coming after us. Now began to input the targets in the missiles computers.” Reply Captain Nemo

There dead silent on the bridge..no one wanted to this, but they had to for their revenge..

Commander Hussein enters the commands codes for the cruise missiles to target the subs at Belem Sub Base.

“Sir, all four cruise missiles are readily to be fired, we wait for your orders to fired them..”reported Commander Hussein

“Well gentlemen, from this moment on. We are no longer part of the Ottoman Navy; from this moment on…we are on our alone. Today we will kill our friends in the hopes of getting revenge, from this moment one…we rogue officers of the fleet. Now mister Hussein fired the cruise missiles at the Belem Sub Base!” said Captain Nemo

As soon as he order, the submarine fired four cruise missiles at Belem Sub Base. The missiles went thought the air and reach their targets; Captain Nemo secretly input a command code to black out the defense system of the base to prevent the missiles from hitting their targets. Each missile hit their targets, all the targets where the attack subs, that lay in dock. Massive explosions were heard as eight Portland Class Nuclear Attack Submarines met their faith of being destroyed. Well over 4,000 people were killed in the attacks. News hit Ottoman Naval Command; they knew that the missiles came from the War Hawk. Within 20 minutes of the attacks, High Sea Fleet Command give orders for every ship in the area, to destroy the War Hawk at all cost. Even the lost of the eight submarines at the sub base, most of the sub fleet assign to the base out in the sea, doing missions. The following subs were out in the sea when the attack happens.
Here is the list
2 Portland Class Nuclear Attack Submarines
4 Palace-class SSBN
4 Kasatanov-class SSBN/SSGN refits
2 Typhoon-II SSBN
20 Juliett-II SSG
Also the
High Guard and Cairo (both Delta-V SSGN classes)
Istanbul (Kasatanov-class SSBN/SSGN refits)

Change course to meet up with the War Hawk and destroy her.
All these sub change their course and began to move to the last know locations of the War Hawk, High Command was very piss at the fact this captain could deactivate the defense system of an Ottoman Base, this worry them greatly. Yet their main goal right now was to take out the War Hawk at all cost.

Back on the War Hawk

“Gentleman, the hunt begins. Submerge and increase speed to 27 knots, set a course to Ottoman Canary Islands, we are hearding to La Palma island, where we are going to get our bitter sweet revenge…oh how sweet this revenge is going to be..” said Captain Nemo

Within seconds the War Hawk submerge and change couse to La Palma Island.

The nuclear attack submarine Juneau moved through the waters of the South Atlantic, heading for the Straits of Magellan and from there, home. The submarine's deployment had been cut short due to the Ministry of Defense's feeling that the Pacific Fleet needed reinforcement while it was rebuilt after the bloody battle with the Dracun Imperium several months ago. The Juneau surfaced about forty kilometers off the coast of Communist Brazil, because a ELF (Extra Low Frequency) communication had come through that High Command had new orders for the submarine.

Captain Harding stood on the bridge as the XO, Jacob Carradine, walked into the room. "XO has the Conn," said the Captain.

The Executive Officer nodded and replied, "XO has the Conn."

Now that authority had been transfered, Harding left the bridge to head to the communications room. He lifted the receiver of the phone to his ear and said, "Harding here."

"Captain, this is Admiral Jameson. I have urgent new orders for you. An Ottoman sub base in CB has been attacked a few hours ago. We aren't sure by whom, but the Ottomans are flipping out. Satellite photos show their sub base is pretty heavily damaged, looks like a cruise missile attack, or something similar. I want you to head toward the base, and try to figure out what happened. Stay hidden, so whoever did it won't know you're there. We're trying to get in touch with the Ottomans, to let them know you'll be in the area. But keep a low profile, just in case. Godspeed, Captain."

"Thank you, sir." He hung up the phone. Then he picked up the com, and informed the XO of their orders. He sighed, and headed back to the bridge.

Royal Intelligence Agency, Vancouver
Henry Johnson frowned over the satellite pictures. "Yeah, it was definitely a cruise missile attack. Only question is, why? The Ottomans aren't at war with anyone, and the civil war is over. Who would attack them?" He turned to his secretary. "Elaine, call the Foreign Minister. Tell him I need him down here now."

To: Ottoman Government
From: Foreign Ministry
We have noted the attack on your naval base in South America, and wish to offer our help in finding the perpetrator. For now, we have sent one submarine, the HMS Juneau, to the area to assist in searching for the attackers. Let us know is there is anything more we can do to help.

Davis Hanson,
Foreign Minister

Hanson printed the letter, handed it to the courier, and after the man left, got up to fix himself a drink. The letter was what one would expect in the situation, one nation offering to help an ally. That was only half the story, though. Forces were at work that Malkyer did not know about, and factors in play that Malkyer did not understand. That troubled the Minister, and he picked up the secure phone to Prime Minister Harrison's office to talk to him about it.

To: Foreign Ministry of Malkyer
From: Ottoman Foreign Ministry

Everything under well take care of…there was no attack on the sub base; it’s just a error in one of our sub systems that led to a miss fired that damage the base. Everything is taken care; we thank you for offer of help. Your submarine must not enter the base. Please your sub to withdraw the base waters.


The High Guard, Cairo, and Istanbul Sub Squadron, somewhere in mid Atlantic

On Board the O.E.S.S Istanbul

Fleet Captain Abd-ul-Hamid read the latest orders from High Seas Fleet Command; they were simply put as Destory the War Hawk at all cost, by any means. He knew that Captian Nemo was up to something..he knew Captain Nemo was going at full speed to whereever he was heading for . The Fleet Captain a had his orders to destory the war hawk and he will do it at all cost.

“Ensign, full speed. Set a couse to these reading on the map and send them to High Guard and Cario.”Order the Fleet Captain

“Aye,Aye, Kaptain.” Said the Russian Ensign

The Fleet Captain had a feeling and he had to go on it..

At Rabat Naval Base, Ottoman North Africa
The 11th Carrier Battle Group under the command of Admiral Osman Pazvantoglu, began move out of port, their orders were to join the Hunt for the War Hawk and destory her at all cost.

On the War Hawk

“Sir, we will reach La Palma island within five days at maximums speed and try to avoid the fleet search for us!” Reported Lt. Commander Pyotr Petrovich

“Good, now how is work on the Typhoon warhead?” ask Captain Nemo

“ Engineers are arming the warhead into the Missile, the nuclear missile will be ready within the next two days.” said Commander Hussein

“Two days, that should be enough…soon we will all get our revenge..”

100 miles out in the Atlantic from Communist Brazil

Two Ottoman Juliett-II SSG searching for the war hawk…. Then the con sonar made connect with the War Hawk.

Quickly the Two Subs lock their targets on the War Hawk, they began loading their torpedo tubes with torpedo, yet the War Hawk have already seen them before they saw the War Hawk. Captain Nemo order his crew to fire two torpedoes at each sub. By the time the two saw the torpedoes coming after them it was too late to deploy countermeasures, both subs were destroyed by from two hits from the torpedoes.

On the board the War Hawk

“Captain the improve sonar systems on this sub, is a great asset for us. To think we are the only one in the fleet to have these improve systems. As the first to be refitted with the new sonar system, now we are using this to crush our own kin..”said Lt. Commander Pyotr Petrovich

“We must not think of lost of our kin. We must continue with our mission. Continue this course, change course for now on, in every 40 to 60 minutes, so that we don’t have fired on our kin.” reply Captain Nemo


Yet one of the Juliett sub manger to send word that they found the War Hawk and her position, before the sub was destroy. Every in that area near, went a full speed and change course to try to get to the War Hawk, before she got out of the reported area.

To: Ottoman Foreign Ministry
From: Malkyeri Foreign Ministry

We understand. We apologize for blowing this out of proportion. Our submarine will be leaving the area as soon as we can contact the captain. We apologize for our mistake.

Best regards,
Davis Hanson
Foreign Minister

Davis looked up from the letter to Randy Bishop, director of the RIA. "They're hiding something."

"Definitely. I've had six different experts look at those satellite pictures, and I've even looked at 'em myself. We all came up with the same reaction: accident, my ass. One missile, maybe I buy the accident story. But from the devastation at that base, it had to be at least three missiles. No one accidentally shoots three cruise missiles."

"My thoughts exactly. I talked with the PM earlier, and I'll do so again in about half an hour. Anything else I should tell him? Or do you want to come along yourself?"

"Yeah, I'd better. We're picking up major heat signatures from Ottoman bases. A large portion of their sub fleet has set sail, but few surface ships. Almost like they're hunting something and don't want anyone else to know."

"Good Lord..."

"Yeah. I want to get an agent in-country, to try and figure out what's going on."

"Be sure to bring that up with Zachary."

The deep, blue water was cold, this far down. It was also putting a lot of pressure on the hull of the Juneau, but the submarine's ceramic plated hull would hold up for another two hundred meters. Harding didn't understand the sudden change in orders, but he didn't really need to. He just had to follow them.

"Well, sir, in addition to the submarines, the Ottomans have just sent out a major surface fleet out of one of their North African bases. I think something is amiss, something related to the attack on their sub base in Brazil," Bishop concluded, and looked across the desk at the Prime Minister.

Zachary Harrison, Prime Minister of His Majesty's Royal Government, sighed and looked at the three men across from him. "So, Istanbul has asked us to stay out of this, yes?"

"That is correct," answered Davis Hanson.

"And we have one submarine near the base that was attacked?"

"Yes."

"Get in touch with them, and reroute another submarine to go with them from Atlantic Fleet. Send them wherever you think the Ottomans are going. They're looking for something, and I need to know what."

"Yes sir," replied Admiral Jameson, Commander-in Chief Atlantic, responded. He got up to leave, and Bishop followed him.

"I have to make arrangements to get intel assets inside the Ottoman Khaif," he explained.

Once the other men had left, Hanson stood to fix himself a drink from Harrison's cabinet. He really should stop drinking so much, he thought to himself.

"What do you think, Davis?"

"I don't know, Zachary. For the first time in a long while, I'm worried. Something here is not right, and we don't know what. That gives me a very bad feeling."

Its just accident when one of our subs had system failure which cause the sub to fire the missles at the Sub Base. We are not in the need of any help or aid. We thank you for your offer.

On board the War Hawk

Captain called his all officers in for a meeting about their mission.

“Gentlemen, I will now tell you the details of our mission of revenge and why we are heading to La Palma, Ottoman Canary Islands. Well here it goes.. most of us from the Island of Atlania, which the location of this island was in the mid Atlantic Ocean…back in 1969,when I was 24 years old. Our homeland of Atlania,fell into civil war,one faction back by the USA and the other faction back the USSR. As the civil war kept on going, bear in mind the poplution of our island was only 200,000. The civil war claim well over 20,000 death, so the soviet faction won. Yet the United States could not allow the Soviet’s having a base in the mid Atlantic, so what did they do to our homeland…well they knew that our island was had a massive undergound cave system,if explosed could sink the island. They did it…they did kill well over 180,000 of our people…only 10,000 got out and made it to Ottoman Khaif. Did the world say a single thing about this mass killing of our people, no they all remain quiet,even the Ottomans remian quiet about the matter. They only did this attack on our homeland to pervent the USSR from have a base..they could have done other things then to destory a entire island.Were is our homeland now? Its under the bloody sea, thanks to the Americans! Now I will tell why is La Palma going to be key for revenage against the those who have ruin us.La Palma Island as the Cumbre Vieja which is is a volcanic ridge, which is unstable,also if slide into the ocean can cause a massive megatsunami would reach local heights of well over 100 metres and the speed of a jetliner. This slide will take the western half of the island, approximately 500km3 of land weighing an estimated 500 billion tonnes along with it, causing the megatsunami. This tide wave will hit these following areas in this time frame… reaching the African coast in three hours, the coast of England in five, and the eastern seaboard of North America in twelve. This could greatly damage cities along the United States' east coast, such as New York, Boston, Washington, DC, Norfolk, Virginia, and Miami with 10 to 25 m high waves. Our main goal is to get payback for the Americas for what they done to us! We will fired these refited cruise missles on these points on the map of the western half of island to start the slide and tsunami, we have only two more days intill we reach our target. Any questions?” Ask Captain Nemo

No one said a word

“Very well, this is meeting is dismiss.”said Captain Nemo

All the officers got up, they to make sure everything on the sub was working perfectly for the attack and make sure nothing will go wrong on the big day……

BODY: Our footage and surveillance never shows a ballistic submarine
capable of launching those three missiles redocking at the base. There is no
manifest in the ship records for this either. The PCPB demands you tell us
what exactly is going on. We understand that the Ottoman Khaif does not
want security infractions going public, but that is not what we seek. If a
submarine capable of nuclear strikes has gone rogue off the coast of Brazil,
you better well think that this is also Brazil's problem. We demand that you
reveal to us the infraction and details of what happened, or we will be forced
to take the matter into our own hands.

Sir, Our forces were doing a war game,yet some type system failure had effect the Sub, causing the system to change from war game mode to war mode,Then when the Sub was order to fired his missile at the base, which should have been fakes. The system instead fired the cruise misslies then to the fakes, causing this accident.

Royal Intelligence Agency, Vancouver
Director Jacobs looked over the analysist's shoulder as the man showed him something. "So" what is this, Ben?"

"Look here, in this sat photo. We can just see some of the sub that fired the missiles at the base. By these markings here, we've been able to indentify it as an Ottoman sub, the War Hawk, captained by a man named Nemo."

"Captain Nemo, eh? Funny, only not really."

Howard laughed. "Yes, sir."

"Run his name through the database. Get a file on him."

"Right on it, sir."

Status: Ottoman Naval Officer
Rank: Commodore
Age: Sixty

One of the some ten thousand refugees from Altania who fled to the Ottoman Empire after the destruction of their homeland by the United States after the nation fell to the Soviets. After entering the Ottoman Navy, he has reached the rank of Commodore, which is right below that of Rear Admiral. Very dedicated to his submarines, he refused promotion so as to be able to remain with them. However, pyschological profiling suggests that he harbors a deep animosity against America, and it may be possible that he somehow planning to use the War Hawk to exact some sort of revenge.

*an interesting sidenote: "Mafee" in Arabic means "nothing," as does "Nemo" in Latin; therefore his name could be translated into English as "Nothing of Nothing."

OOC: the link doesn't actually work, don't bother clicking it

The quick rap at the door knocked the Admiral from his light slumber. As he shook himself awake he responded, "Yes, come in..." The hatchway opened and a young ensign stood at attention. The Admiral stood from his bed, "At ease, what is it?"

The ensign's arms brought up a packet of materials, handing them to the Admiral, "Sir, we've had some recent developments with one of our allies, Ottoman Khaif." The Admiral gave a puzzled glance before retrieving the packet and lightly skimming through the summary report. The ensign continued, "Apparantly, one of their submarines has gone rogue with a number of nuclear warheads aboard, I believe four. As well as twelve cruise missiles. It occured around..."

The Admiral cut him off, "An SSBN?"

"Aye."

"Damn... Do we know what type?"

"Fortunately, we do... One of our Red Tide-class SSBNs, a refitted variant sold to Ottoman Khaif a number of years ago. In fact, this same vessel, I'm led to believe, was formerly the Rostov, decommissioned and overhauled. Luckily, through extensive war gaming, we have the exact sonar profile of this submarine from the viewpoints of attack submarines, surface ships, and sono-bouys, which should undoubtedly aid their anti-submarine operations." The ensign was cut off again.

"What's happening with the sub at the moment?"

"That we don't know... This is actually a big assumption. The submarine in question was originally intended to enter wargames, however, the submarine fired four live cruise missiles at an Ottoman submarine base, killing over four thousand personnel. They claim it was an accident and the missiles never should have been fired. However, if it was an accident, you'd believe their own sub would return to dock after such a failure, apparantly not. She disappeared and the Ottomans are attempting to cover it up with this story. From satellite imagery, and what we can glean from the Ottomans themselves, is that that submarine, after firing four cruise missiles, left port and disappeared."

"So, you're saying that you're assuming all of this? How did you know it was our own submarine?"

"We actually analyzed its firing sequence, and it undoubtedly matched the firing sequence of our Red Tide-class vessels. Not to mention we got snapshots of it with satellite imagery."

The Admiral thought for a mere minute, "And where did you get this information from?"

The ensign smiled, "Office of Naval Security with an urgent stamp from the Kagan himself. Its credible intelligence of a rogue submarine in international waters with nuclear weapons aboard. Who knows what nation it may be targetting, could be us, could be Ottoman Khaif, could be an ally, who knows."

The Admiral winced, "Shit... I'll be on the bridge in ten, see if you can't contact Fleet Admiral Komrosky, I'd like to hear what the whole fleet is planning."

The ensign nodded, "Aye." He about-faced and quickly exited the room, leaving the Admiral to skim the report and get ready.


Within ten minutes he was on the bridge and situated at the command terminal, surveying the known actions of the rogue submarine. He typed in a number of commands and came into a video conference with Fleet Admiral Ivan Komrosky, Fleet Admiral of the 7th Expeditionary Fleet, Atlantic On-Call Fleet. Ivan Komrosky initiated the conference, "Good morning Admiral."

Admiral Evgeniy Khukov nodded, "Morning, Ivan." The two were good friends, and when it came to video conferences, they often skipped the formalities. "What's going on with Ottoman Khaif?"

The Fleet Admiral shuffled with some papers before continuing, "Well, Office of Naval Security issued a general warning to all expeditionary fleets. Apparantly, an Ottoman submarine, SSBN to be exact, had headed out to participate in friendly wargames when it fired four cruise missiles on an Ottoman submarine base, destroying a number of submarines and killing thousands of personnel. Ottoman Khaif officials billed this as a system failure, it was supposed to 'act like it was firing' but instead actually fired. Normally, a submarine after making a mistake of this magnitude, would have docked immediately for investigations on how the system failed. Satellite intelligence, after registering the firing, showed the submarine slipping off, and eventually disappearing, never docking and never surfacing. This leads us to believe it was an intentional strike. And ONS believes so too." The Fleet Admiral paused for a mere moment as he collected this thoughts. "Well, we were able to identify the submarine's make after comparing firing profiles and general appearance. We corrolated this with our own database to find out that this submarine is actually the RNS Rostov, a Red Tide-class SSBN which was decommissioned four years ago and completely overhauled before being sold to Ottoman Khaif. There it became the War Hawk and this is the submarine we're dealing with."

Admiral Khukov nodded in relative amazement, they had some grainy satellite images of a submarine firing and they could find out everything about it short of what they had for breakfast aboard the vessel. "Well, Ivan, what's the plan then?"

Komrosky grinned, "Here's your chance. ONS believes its heading into the Atlantic, and its a nice assumption. However, its anyone's guess. The Navy just wants us to be prepared so they want to send off a quick reaction group to scout the area while the main fleets take up the back-field. They've called me and asked for me to dispatch a task group to the opening of the Mediterranean, while the rest of the fleet maneuvers in. The Eleventh Expeditionary will take our place as the OCF, however, we will have to wait until they arrive. So, I've recommended you to lead the Task Group and the Navy's agreed. You're now at the helm of Task Force Angler. I'll be sending a data packet of the vessels in your group along with operational orders."

The Admiral flicked his eye brows with a slight smile, "Hmm... Alright, packet received. Say, did someone contact Ottoman Khaif about this?"

"Yes... I believe ONS has already dispatched a transmission to Ottoman Khaif, informing them that we do know what's going on and that we have the sonar profiles of that same, exact vessel for them to utilize." Admiral Khukov nodded and Komrosky looked at his watch before continuing, "Well, I'll be having breakfast in a few minutes so I must be leaving you. Enjoy the sail, if there's any updates on the situation you'll be the first to receive. Dasvedanya."

Evgeniy nodded and waved him away, the screen disappeared and Evgeniy quickly opened the data packet scanning the contents.

STATEMENT ISSUED TO OTTOMAN KHAIF
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our comrades in Ottoman Khaif, we have been surveying recent intelligence material gathered by our satellite network and notice a disturbing occurance, an attack by one of your own vessels on your own base. We know what's going on, and we're willing to help. From our records we know that the submarine is the War Hawk, formerly the RNS Rostov, a Red Tide-class SSBN but decommissioned and overhauled, which was then sold to you. We have this vessel's exact sonar profile, courtesy of our wargame records from aerial, surface ship, and underwater views using a number of different sonar systems. This intelligence would, we hope, provide extremely useful in apprehending this rogue vessel and her crew. We have dispatched a task force, which will be followed by a fleet, to possibly intercept the submarine if it happens to attempt to escape into the Atlantic, if it hasn't done so already. We are sending the sonar profiles along with this message so that you may use them immediately in the hopes of avoiding a major international conflict involving this submarine.

Riley Jacobs, Chief Director of the Royal Intelligence Agency, walked into the Prime Minister's office, carrying a large map of the Atlantic and a small card with some notes. The PM and President, as well as several Ministers including Foreign, Defense, and Interior were waiting for him. Jacobs took the map and spread it out on the desk.

"I think I know what he's going to do. According to our profile on him, he's desperate for revenge on America for what they did to Atlania. Now, if you look here at the Canary Islands, look at this--La Palma. This southernmost ridge here is called Cumbre Vieja, it's a very unstable volcanic ridge. I contacted the Geology Department over at the Royal University, and their top guys confirmed that if it were somehow slid into the ocean, it could create a sort of mega-tsunami. They weren't exactly sure how big it would get, or how fast it would be move, but they assured me it would make the South Asia one look like dropping a rock in a pond by comparision." He paused to let that sink in. Continuing, he said "A few well-placed cruise missiles or a couple of nukes could make the whole island 'slide' into the ocean. The War Hawk is more than capable of this."

President Woodruff asked a question. "What sort of damage would such a wave create?"

"We aren't sure exactly, but we know it would hit Africa, England, and the Eastern Seaboard of America, and destroy or damage pretty much any city or settlement it touched."

"Jesus...do the Ottomans know about this?" This time it was the PM.

"I'd have to assume so, sir. They aren't fools."

"What resources do we have in the area?"

"Just the submarine Juneau, and a surface fleet at Kingston," Defense responded. "I can have the surface fleet move on an intercept course to La Palma, and the Juneau is already pursuing the War Hawk."

"Right. Riley, I want the RIA to do everything in it's power to find out more about this. We need concrete knowledge, not conjecture, however accurate it might be." With that, the meeting was adjourned.

20 ensigns and 2 officers were in meeting

“Gentlemen we are here for to prevent this insane mission from happing and if not we damn well over a million people to their deaths. We must this from happening. As the ranking OI naval officer of this sub, I here by take command and order the arrest of Captain Nemo for go rouge and firing upon Ottoman ships. This is not a mutiny, since our good captain as turn his back to the empire; this is retake over of the sub.” Said Lt. Commander Salih Omurtak

On the Bridge

An officer from the sonar station yell out
“Captain, our sonar is keeping up three contacts. They are the High Guard, Cairo, and Istanbul, they will up our us up on their sonar within the next four minutes.” said the Officer

“Good that give us to time to load our torpedoes and we can get the jump on them!” said Commander Hussein

“Very well, load three torpedoes and lock each on each sub. Soon we will get rid of Fleet Captain Abd-ul-Hamid group and go back to our mission of revenge!”said Captain Nemo ,then he give the order to began loading the torpedoes tubes

"Charlie, the Ottoman fleets are heading home!"

"Huh? What about that sub? The War Hawk."

"It's hard to tell from the satellite feed, but it looks like there is some wreckage in the area, floating along a wide swath of ocean."

"So you think they sunk it?"

"Must have."

"Great. I'll tell the supervisor so he can make some phone calls."

Royal Intelligence Agency, Vancouver:

Jacobs was on the phone with the Prime Minister. "Yes sir, I see it." He was also watching CNN. It was strange how civilian news sources often knew the same thing as national intelligence agencies. "The Ottomans are already issuing cover stories. This should get interesting. Oh, the King had a talk with their Sultan? I bet that was fun..." Everyone at this level of government service had at some time or another experienced Dayan's temper. "I hope he didn't mess things up too bad. Yeah, I guess. Now we can relax, well, as much as we can."

OOC: Thanks for the invite, OK.

Location: Aztlán Intelligence Branch, Veracruz Naval Station, Veracruz, México. ANL

Agent Fernando Garza walked along side with Vice-Premier Coyotepec Xoxoctic (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Spectrechris/Zedillo.jpg) down the florescent lit sterile and metallic corridor of the Veracruz Naval Station. They turned down a hallway and entered a door, closing it behind him. They were in the main conference room, which had a panoramic view of the entire station, the great orange sun setting into to cool blue ocean in the west. At the table in the conference room sat Chief Admiral of the Aztec Navy, Thomas Ericsson (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Spectrechris/drpetrov.jpg). Fernando Garza started, “Admiral, Vice-Premier, we are facing a unique situation. In Communist Brazil, an Ottoman submarine opened fire on a friendly base and destroyed several ships. While the Empire’s formal response has been blaming it on mechanical and technical error, I feel there is a much more sinister reason for this attack. Since the ANL is conducting fleet wide refits and much of the fleet is in dry dock, our ships are vulnerable. I am asking that, in the interest of security and our military, that we investigate this matter.”

Ericsson said, “I can commit three Typhoon-II class stealth attack subs to the mission, the SAS Typhoon, the Guevara and the Atl to the investigation. Their refits are complete and they can be deployed in about 3 hours. I can also increase patrols along the Caribbean and Atlantic coasts.”

Vice Premier Coyotepec was unsold, “Remember the last intelligence mission we did involving the Ottomans, that was an utter disaster, you want us to pull it off again?”

“Sir,” said Garza, look outside, the heavy cruiser Challenger[i], the heavy battle cruiser [i]Teraztlán, the flagship battleship Aztlán, even our most powerful ship out in the Pacific, the Unión and the men and women who operate them are all at risk of being destroyed while in dry dock. We’ve got to do something, besides, this is in international waters, it’s not like we are on their turf.”

Garza had a good point, and the Vice-Premier couldn’t counter it. Thousands of lives were at risk, and it was on international waters, so, they could technically do it. “All right, I approve, but, if this fails, don’t expect to be bailed out. I might be in the work camps with you.”

Garza finished, “Good, then I guess we can adjourn this session.”

Ericsson grabbed his radio and said “Get the crews of the SAS Typhoon, the Guevara and the Atl ready for launch in three hours.”

---Somewhere in Veracruz---

Captain Tolpectic Nelli looked blankly into the mirror, focusing on his graying hair. Quickly, he put on his black navy cap and said to the bartender, “Gus, una tequila, por favor.”

Gus the bartender turned around, “Señor, ¿Quieres un gusano con tu tequila?

Quietly, the Captain said “No, pero gracias.” Nelli detested worms in any sort of consumable product.

The bartender put down the tequila shot in front of him, and quickly, the captain drank it down. He hated the stuff, alcohol of any kind, but, he was bummed out. Although he knew alcohol wouldn’t help him, he wanted a drink anyways. He hated not being at sea, having no family, no wife or kids to come home to, the only family he had was his crew, his only home was the SAS Typhoon.

Just as he was about to order another tequila and pushing the limit in terms of the amount he could drink (before the Navy could legally court marshal him), his first officer walked in.

“Sir, we’re being ordered out to sea, along with the Guevara and the Atl.

“Really? When do we leave?”

“Right now sir.”

Getting off the bar stool, he tripped down and nearly fell, but regained his balance. His first officer was perplexed, “Sir, are you drunk?”

“Of course not.”

Quickly, they made their way to the ships, waiting for the rest of their crews.

---Three hours later---

The first officer came into the bridge, “Sir, all three subs are ready for departure.”

“Excellent, helm, take us out at 3 knots. When we are out of the limit zone, increase speed to 15 knots. Operations, once we are out of the limit zone, submerge and switch to the caterpillar drive.”

Two “Yes Sirs” were made.

Quietly, the ship proceeded onto the dark horizon.
