Raptorian Underground Naval Base – “Silent Dagger” 10:36 PM, RST –

The seas were quite calm that one night. The lieutenant leaned one arm against the rail of the elevated catwalk as he gazed out into the sea. “Silent Dagger” was a large scale naval base at sea level, located deep in the bowels of Raptoria’s Island. The lieutenant heaved a sigh and asked a crewman walking by, “How are the ships doing, private?” the new blood stood at attention and barked, “Ready for mission, sir!” The lieutenant smiled and said, “At ease sailor, join the rest of your crew, and prepare for departure. Faint alarms could be heard as red lights flickered on and off. The lieutenant slowly walked toward the nearest command tower, clicked a red switch, and barked into the microphone, “Attention all sailors and soldiers; we will be departing in one minute and counting, finalize diagnostics and prepare for the voyage.” He removed his finger from the red switch, ending the loudspeaker with a large beep, followed by a crackle. He looked down to see a sergeant yelling to a few wayward soldiers to return to their designated transport ship.

The monstrous dock door slowly slid open. The faint alarm grew louder, and all the lights dimmed. Once the doors locked in their open positions (signified by a loud “Clunk”), a battleship and frigate were the first into open water. These two were followed by 3 destroyers, 2 transport ships, and 1 massive aircraft carrier. The last ships out were 2 transports, and 1 battleship. The lieutenant watched the ships fade into the distance; he pressed a green button next to the red one, and spoke once again into the microphone.

“Sergeant?”
“Yes?” A crackled voice replied.
“Are the ships all clear on radar?”
“Da, anything else?”
“No, that will be all.”

He released the button, and walked off to his quarters.

This project, dubbed, “Operation: Black Waters” was yet another attempt by the Raptorian government to boost the economy through oil. A large oil cash was recently discovered in the West Indies, the Raptorian Federation is prepared to claim it all for themselves.

Sir:

Infared imaging from our orbiting Satellite networks indicate a massive discharge of naval forces present in the Atlantic Ocean; deployment location undetermined. All naval exercises must be openly announced to the world it concerns. Your ships are entering, or are placed very near United Atlantic Island islands and territories, and are considered very threataning. We politely ask you to find an alternate route around the region to your destination, noting that the United Atlantic Islands are scattered all over the Gulf of Mexico, the Northern and Southern Atlantic, the Canary Islands and Acension Island, and the (4) outposts in Northern Antarctica.


Sincerly

OOC: Harlesburg, basically, I was waiting for someone to jump out and say "Hey! You can't get oil here!" or whatever... Perhaps conflict will arise, perhaps peaceful means of profit shall prevail?

Greetings;

We plan to deploy this fleet in the West Indies Islands on an economic mission. There have been sightings of large amounts of crude oil in the area, and we have sent a team to investigate, and possibly mine this cash. We do not have the intent of hostile conflict unless it is defensive. According to your message, we will be entering your charted area. We had no knowledge that a nation owned this area of the world, and we ask for permission to dock near the oil supplies. We do not need to dock in a port or city, our navy will manage.

Sincerely yours,

Lt. Uskin Vladskn
