OOC: After catching up, please go here: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=433105 The war has begun!

IC:
A message was broadcast across all lines for all nations to hear;
On monitors across the globe, the screen turned black, a deep voice not that of any top ViZionarian officials boomed.

We are in a very dark time right now. A very deadly situation is on the rise. A possible massive threat is likely to become a reality very soon.

We call upon our allies to begin mobilization, and ask that your nuclear capabilities be readied for this situation.

We warn all nations... watch out.

The message ended like that, and the screen returned to normal.
The Mediterranean sea around Italy was begining to fill up, creating a sea of, not water, but metal.

The air was filled with bombers, stealth bombers, and fighters. Some were loaded with normal missiles and bombs while others with nuclear weapons.

All of ViZion was locked down, however travel inside ViZion was permitted, and, aside from ViZion City, the government urged their people to continue on with business, work, and school. Two major things were changed, however: A ten 'o clock PM to six AM curfew and the military on seemingly every street.

This all came after a complete lock-down of ViZion, who, just hours before, had ordered a complete mass mobilization of all military forces, while its network of thousands of nuclear weapons were activated.

Reference: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=432413 This is where the situation began.

Imperial Palace, Granton, Findan

The Emperor sat at his desk. He asksed Marshal Vin Kleiveburg "so what's the situation in Vi Zion?"
"We do not know sir" replied the Marshal
He ordered "Marshal, bring us up to Emperor's Code Two"

"Aye, your grace"

He turned to Surpimre General Evens " Activate Survay Squadren six"

"At once your grace."

OOC: I'm off to work now... wont be on til tomorrow. Bye guys!

Green Sun's military has gone from Orange to Red because of ViZion's sudden military scramble, but many citizens are sceptical, saying that they are doing this to get us on our toes and then say it was all a prank. Soem military forces have the same attitude, but such a power at such a level alert is not likely to be a hoax.

UCTCR High Command

Few people knew that the UCTCR had no Premier, not even the citizens. Long ago Father Josef had died. His dying wish was that security council of four men selected from the Politburo lead in his fresh absence.

The Security Council consisted of the Defense Minister, the Foreign Minister, the Internal Affairs Minister, and the Chairman of the CSE, or Committee for State Security.

~Council room~
"This is the entire message." Came the persenter, "a little time before that the entire ViZion Nuclear arsenal activated. soon after the last message the remaining ViZion millitary followed. "What does it mean?" one of the council said. "BARK!" said another elected official. "It means that something really big is about to go down, and that ViZion will be the first hit by it, we suggest we go to DEFCON 2." "Very well we'll decide on it, return in five minutes."

-----
News: Today the Lone Alliance recalls all millitary forces currently Abroad, as all reserves are mobilized, the members of the nation are advised to retrain themselves in their issued firearms. Recent refugees have been conscripted to aid in building up defenses of the Capital City."

~Command Bunker~
"I want all our Special weapons online, yesterday!" came the command. "Sound off, Silo's one through eight sound off." The General barked. "Ready,Ready,Ready,Ready,Ready,Ready,Ready,Ready." "Ion cannons one through four?" "Ready,Ready,Ready,recharging."

~Council room.~
"Are we sure they aren't bluffing?" Said one silently to another. "No, can't you feel it?" "What?" Asked a third. "There's a big feeling of forboding in the air, something is going to happen, I just know it." "Whine." "See even he agrees."
"Crap what have we gotten outselves into."

Imperial Palace, Crossman City, Crossmanus Prime

(Secret IC)

Emperor Crossman sat at the head of the table in the Imperial War Room. He had gathered his top military advisors to discuss their next moves in this mobilization.

"Gentlemen, all our forces on Earth and throughout the Sol system have been fully mobilised. I want to however reinforce our numbers there. Lord Admiral Ravensburg, what do we have close to Sol?", Crossman said.

Ravensburg looked at the tactical display in front of him showing fleet positions thoughout Imperial space. "I believe I can spare 3rd and 5th Fleets from their normal zones."

Crossman nodded. "Excellent. Send them. I want them to stay cloaked however. And once in Sol I want strict radio silence except for our main secured fleet channels."

"Of course Your Excellency."

The boardroom was crowded and awash with voices. A loud, but uncharismatic voice silenced them. "Gentlemen, I understand that our interests in ViZion are being threatened. I assure you this is being handled. I need everyone to be patient..." The man had as much influence on the crowd as a snowflake on a herd of bison.

To the Leaders of ViZion,
The Republic of Siap has several commercial interests and citizens within your borders, specifically at the international airport. Despite the requests of my colleagues to seek protection of our commercial assets, all I ask is that Siapian citizens be allowed to leave ViZion. We would be willing to evacuate them ourselves.

Phalanix, Paladin City, High Council Building, Level XXI Chamber

"Hmm they've begun to alert the world."
"This is goijng to be far more difficult than anticipated."
"Yes it is. It seems that Agent Nox will have a far more tricky job of evacuating with the rest of our forces."
"Also ten ships have arrived and are already being loaded as we speak. The vault is being emptied and all important personel are being palced in cryo-storage. Also Nox is being recovered from his latest mission and will take atleast four more hours to return to begin this one. I suggest we give him new equipment for this."
"Yes. I'll authorize the nano-claw to be given to him as well as that new blaster we've got in testing."
"Let us hope that this isn't discovered."

ABOARD THE IMPERIAL LION 100 NAUTICALS WEST OF CAPE ST.VINCINT

Commodore James Renyalds leaned back in his chair in the CIC of the Nimitz class carrier, Imperial Lion.

A computerman called "Sir, satalite transmission coming in"

--Markov Capital City New Antioch(formarly Sparta)--

President Stillen's limousine arrives in front of the state house. Stillen along with three other government officials emerge from the limo and are escorted by armed guards to the state house entrance.

The Secretary of Defense meets Stillen at the entrance.

"Mr. President, have you seen the television broadcast from ViZion?" he asks

"Of course I have...Its all over the news. What the hell is going on?"

Stillen enters his office and takes a seat at his desk.

"We have no idea. All we know is that Vizion has declared a state of emergency."
Stillen sits back in his chair.

"We have to try and contact President Maybury. We have to figure out whats going on. Establish a secure comm link to ViZion and tell me when its ready. In the mean time, halt all international travel into Markov and put the coast guard on full alert. If Vizion is in trouble we maybe too."

"Yessir"
--

All over the Federation, Yoshis listened in fright and bewilderment at the cryptic, threatening message. What was going on? What dire threat did ViZion speak of? Would it affect the Yoshi populace? Was there any real threat at all? Was ViZion just ruffling the world's feathers for some secret plan, or did this have something to do with the n00bish terrorist attack upon ViZion posted in the sticky about terrorism?

The Yoshi Elders met in the Grand Council. With many funny little squeaky sounds, they began to discuss what should be done. (Holding little enforcable power over the districts, the Council of Elders simply advises the younger Yoshis, who generally follow the plan.) The results:

The currently-drafted SDIs (Stupid Dinosaur Issue) became a cadre for the arming and training of the entire Yoshi populace for mutual defense. Everywhere dinosaurs could be seen strapping on eggshell helmets and honing their foe-gulping skills. With strained Yoshi grunting, the stupid dinosaurs put egg catapult systems into place along the Federation's borders, for the bombardment of incoming troops or aircraft and the interception of incoming missiles.

Back at the labratory of the Stupid Dinosaurs branch of the NUKES4U Corporation, which resembled more of a playground than a labratory, the request came in for the production of nuclear weapons instead of things that only sparkle.

Chairman Alexance stood by the tall glass windows of his office Cyth Vanillion and Borric Aldmanad sat behind him.
"As of yet we are unsure of the event that caused mobalisation, however shortly afterwards allies have began responding and satallite transmissions have been streaming back and forth for several hours now" Cyth said.
The Chairman thought for a moment and spoke "So, what you are telling me is that a super power is on alert for an unknown reason and has began to activate weapons of slaughter without informing the international community, well as I can see it this matter does not concern us yet but we should keep a watchful eye on the situation" Alexance said "Brric, please send our regards to ViZion, Cyth prepare the military for defensive action and prepare all anti ICBM systems for action, we should stive to remain neutral in a conflict as large as this but defensive measures should be taken".

Greatings ViZion government, as your recent activity has been noted my nation has thought it prudent to ask the nature of this conflict, we would prefer to remain neutral as we are vastly smaller and less militarily capable than you and your allies and we would like to know if this is a global issue that may pose a threat to us.

Borric Aldmanad, Head of Foreign Relations for Uldarious.

We are in a very dark time right now. A very deadly situation is on the rise. A possible massive threat is likely to become a reality very soon.

We call upon our allies to begin mobilization, and ask that your nuclear capabilities be readied for this situation.

We warn all nations... watch out.
[Location: Presidential Office, Central City]

The entire room was quiet as the computer images came back on...
"Mr. President?" Asked one advisor. "Get me STRATCOM! Now! I wan an immediate evacuation of every oversea's military base, I want all nuclear missiles silos on high alert, and all nuclear capable bombers in the air! I want every thing that can fly off the ground within 24 hours! I want the Joint Chiefs at JOSH-A!"

[Location: Secret Military Installation #001 Code Name: JOSH-A]

A large amount of M-125 Freedom MBTs and SOV-06 IFVs were guarding the entrance as the President and the Joint Chiefs drove into the base. They made there way past the massive amount of AAA and SAMs into the underground bunker.

[Executive Bunker #006]

"So, everything is mobilized?" Asked President Garner.
"Yes sir, all silos are operational, ABM systems working, the only planes still on land are 2 groups of B-300ELs, they should be up and flying shortly." Said General Cromwell

"All land forces have been brought back from overseas, every AAA and SAM site has been activated, all military bases are on lock down level "Omega"." Said General Jackson

"All fleets have been mobilized, nothing is geting into our country." responed Admiral Sutherland.

"Good, I want everyone on their toes, nothing get's by us, let's just hope who ever sent us that message was exagerating a lot, cause if he was serious we're all in deep shit. Now if you'd excuse me I need to address the nation."
----------------------------------
[President Garners speech to the nation]
"As you may or may not know our ally ViZion has recently locked down it's entire nation and mobilized it's entire armed forces. About 2 hours ago we received this message:"
We are in a very dark time right now. A very deadly situation is on the rise. A possible massive threat is likely to become a reality very soon.

We call upon our allies to begin mobilization, and ask that your nuclear capabilities be readied for this situation.

We warn all nations... watch out.
"We have answered this call, we think ignoring it would be our downfall, thus we have mobilized our conventional and nuclear forces, but do not fear, we're doing all we can to keep the fight, if there is one, away from our shores, to help out our armed forces we have blocked all traffic into our nation for the time being, although any citizen from another nation is welcomed to leave for home, and any traffic within the nation will procced as normal.

Do not panic, we will do our best to protect The Armed Republic of The Silver Sky should the threat arise."

A reply was sent to Uldarious;

We cannot, at this time, give any information, as this is an extremely sensitive issue. However, I will tell you this: There is no nation that can be assured they will be safe in the coming days.

The communication was cut, without even stating the name the transmission was sent by.

Another reply, this time to Siap, was sent;

Hello Siap. We are sorry, but we are in a complete and utter lock down. Due to national security, they will be required to stay inside out boarders. However, we will tell you this; they will be treated as any foreign citizen who does not pose a threat to us would be treated, in peace time or war time: Just like our own people. They will be sheltered should we begin evacuating civilians into the underground network.

Do not worry. As long as they pose no threat, they will be just as safe as our own people.

We must warn you, however. No nation will be assured safety in the coming days. Be ready.

Just like the message sent to Uldarious, it did not give the senders name.

Another short transmission was sent across the airwaves for all nations to see.

There are some nations who know what this is about. There are some nations who have not come to terms with us after having run-ins with our great nation. There are those connected to this threat. Then, there are those who do not know they stand with those who are view as a threat.

To those who do know, however: We demand you stand down. Do not cause more problems. If you force us to go to war, this will not end with just you and our nation. It will go to your supporters, and their supporters. It will spread across the globe. You know this.

You best well stand down. And those who find out that they are supporting these threats, we give you one piece of advice: Cease your support to them, or your fate will be the same as theres.

To all nations: We are almost completely positive that not all these threats will stand down. More nations that not will soon be affected by this, and no one will be safe. Prepare your selves.

You are with us or against us in this situation. You have been warned.

"It is only disturbing that the nation of ViZion is continuing to proceed with their cat-and-mouse game of provocations and reckless threats against peaceful nations around the world, seemingly under a guise orchestrated by the utterly incompetent leaders - whom bears extremely ignorance in regards to international affairs. Though there are nations that will instantly dismiss such as pure provocation, it is also overly obvious that other nations will consider this as a meaningful threat against them, thus pitting the nation of ViZion into absolutely unnecessary conflicts and turmoil. If the government of ViZion is truly responsible in a sense that they conduct themselves professionally by clearly addressing the contents of their target list, then perhaps their people would be saved from total annihilation. Thus, we feel it is only importantly and justified to demand ViZion to clarify their position and the exact purpose of their current waves or mobilization, or this will be treated as a direct provocation against the Omzian Republic, thus will be dealt until the last vapour of Omzian blood is shed."

-Field Marshal Hogan, Supreme Director of the Omzian High Command, in an unofficial commentary during an interview on Omzian State Satellite News

***Begin Transmission***

TO: ViZion Government
FROM: Crossmanian High Command

In the name of Emperor Crossman, greetings to our dear ViZionarian friends. Our mobilization efforts are nearly complete. We trust all is well you. As we have done so many times before, the United Imperium of Crossman is prepared to stand with your nation once again in times of trouble.

***End Transmission***

Public Statement by Emperor Crossman

Imperial Palace Press Secretary Lord Wallace released a statement by His Excellency, Emperor Crossman just a few moments ago:

"His Excellency has said that he regretably cannot give specific information as to the reason for our mobilization other than it is due to information relayed by our ally ViZion as to the possibility of a major threat to ViZionarian and Crossmanian national securities."

An infuriated response to this so-called "interview" was sent out;

We have made threats only to those who are knowingly connected to the threats we have intercepted and recieved. We are warning all nations to prepare for what will end up being a deadly war if those who are part of this threat do not step down.

This is why we have mobilized and locked down, and called upon our trusted allies to prepare, so we may crush those who refuse our demands.

If you view us, ViZion, as a direct threat to you, then there clearly is a reason, and we will begin investigations into your nations ties with those who we view as threats.

We can understand nations being unnerved, and for good reason. Clearly we are as well. But to make a threat to us, stating "...will be dealt until the last vapour of Omzian blood is shed."[/i] clearly takes this to another level.

Do not make a threat to us. We have no made a threat to you, however now you have given us reason to suspect possible ties between you and those we are determined for either destroy or force to step down.

Once again, we urge all nations to prepare. If those who pose this threat do not stand down, it is no telling who they will strike outside of ViZion and our valiant allies.[/i]

Within the hour after this message was broadcasted across open waves, the underground networks were opened as people began to slowly stream in, ready for what was expected to be a large-scale war.

20 B-2 and 25 B-52 bombers, accompanied by 100 of ViZion's own Ninja2 jet fighters, 200 F/A-22's, 200 F/a-18's, and 300 F-16's began to fly along the Med. Sea coast line, while 5 Blackbirds began their missions to spy over those deemed as threats.

The grand Council of the Federation of neerdam assembles. According too the broadcast Neerdam is in no emmidiate danger from Vizion. although they might see our recently starrted uranium mining as a thrreath we assure them we have only intentions too use them for powerplants and Spaceships.

Neerdam is a small, peaceful community, if Vizion will go to war with any of Neerdams Neighbouring nations we request Vizion will considder Neerdam as Neutral and not invade nor request for any resources.

Perhaps ViZon's actions are merely a test of their new tiger claw project....

[Lone Alliance Command Bunker]
"ViZion has launch an offensive!" The first officer said running in. "On who?" "No Clue but their after someone." Another person walked in and drop a folder in front of all of the Generals. The Folder was labeled. JVNDS Project. "Remember this people?" Everyone looked at the folder and remembered it's meaning. "I want Special forces turning this country inside out!" Came the Lead General Serov. "This is their plan?" One asked, "Trap all of us in our countries then nuke us all from the inside?" The order was given "Send the message to all nations. And get the fleet out of the harbor, if they waste us at least our Navy can survive. And upgrade to DEFCON 1."

INTERNATIONAL MESSAGE FROM THE LONE ALLIANCE..
Information regarding the Jaro-ViZo Nuclear Deterrent System is that the project has reached completion, we advise all nations to be on high alert and to start a major search of your nation to locate any hidden Nuclear devices. If this is their nation trying to find a reason to use it, we must not let such a thing happen. This may be an attempt to activate Project Tiger Claw as an offensive program instead of a defensive last resort.

After reading the international message from lone alliance Neerdam has temporarly stopped all mining of uranium and doubled security around the mined uranium.

No uranium has been refined so far, we need a trade with another nation for that but recent advances in technolgy on radiation allows the Neerdam police force too search all cities for radiation signs and the precence of nuclear weapons.

TO: The Government of Neerdam
FROM: The United Imperium of Crossman

The Imperium has no current reason to suspect your nation's uranium mining to be a threat to our security. I personally offer you the Imperium's protection if you are wrongly targeted.

- Emperor Crossman

Among the Dark Council of Monsteria there was a general dark mood. Not the dark mood that the Dark Council normaly went for to be spooky, but one of feeling of general threat.

"How shall we react to this?" Said one.

"I'd have to go with poorly. The ViZionites have a larger standing army than we do a population." Said another.

Several fellow council members made a grim murmer of agreement.

"We should be more concerned about the Lone Alliance's message. Strategicly located nuclear arsenal? In EVERY country? I just wish we had the resources to pull off something like that." Said a third.

"Given enough time and great Cthulhu not devouring us, we will one day." Piped in a fourth.

"We're getting off topic." Said the first.

"We need to find out who might have brought the nukes in. Search records of any that don't go to regular worship and have our hell hounds sniff for betrayal of the ones that have. Simple." Spoke a fifth.

"Until we have to deal with their weapons that aren't hidden." Said the second. Another murmer of agrement from the council.

"Thats for the large nations to deal with. We watch. We wait. When shots are fired we consult the signs and send what we can to the determined winners of the conflict." argued the fifth.

"Shall we cast bones then?" Said a sixth voice.

"No. This is too important. We will have a diciple open their mind to the great Cthulhu, gleam any understanding from his gibbering and with that knowledge feed a child to a demon. We will scry from the bones that remain. Agreed?"
asked the first. The council murmered agreement and went to their grisly work...

(...)Official Government Statement

'First off, I'd like to say the Free States of Guffingford concur with the Omzian Democracy regarding ViZion. Not only the inane and unlawful government of ViZion is a threat to their own people, but they are also a menace to the peaceful world. Perhaps they are warning us for their reckless behaviour? Who knows. But it is an established fact ViZion cannot handle the responsibility of international relations and politics. How many times has ViZion openly declared full scale mobilizations? Yet, how many times have they revealed the sources of their sudden mobilizations? Never have they done it, and this sudden overreaction isn't an exception in the least possible way.

ViZion continues to display itself as a progressive, stable nation but honestly, only his allies take him seriously. That is all that ViZion is: a large nation with an army he uses to play his imaginary battles against foes who don't even exist.'

- Kellus Constantine, Minister of Foreign Affairs & Colonial Office.

A sleek and cloaked scout ship had been in orbit for some time, monitering all messages coming to and fro every Nation, mainly the ones concerning ViZion. The Galactic Republic was as much in the dark as any Nation, and knowing Anagonia still had its ancient land didn't help one bit. Intern, upon hearing information of "Project Tiger Claw", a communique was sent to Galactic Command, requesting a warship that will immedietly be emptied of all torpedoes.

This was not a good sign for the Ancient Land, the Land from which all space was reached by Anagonia. In time, if the Leader accepted the request, all would be safe in the Ancient Land, and of those of her Allies.

......

We can only concur with the statements made by both the The Omzian Democratic Republic of Omz222 and The Free States of Guffingford; to make such aggressive actions without specifying whom you are making these threats towords is both dangerous and counter productive.

Going from assumptions made from your statements thus far, you have already made demands to those whom you wish to strike which would remove any chance of a sneak attack. So why the secrecy? The only logical reasons we can see at this time is that your threats made towards these unknown nations are unprovoked or perhaps even atrocious in nature... or maybe we have this all wrong and you are attempting a sneak attack and are simply lying about your target, which would take us back to the reason why we all have to take this seriously.

Regardless, these mobilisations combined with your governments lack of willing to co-operate with foreign governments and lay to rest their fears shows a dangerous possibility to our military advisors who we must listen to, the fact that your government escalated to further threatening statements with The Omzian Democratic Republic clearly proves this. You make out that you have made no threat, but the fact is, your mobilisations and lack of information precent clear threats to us.

We would advise that you either come clean or further loose standing in the international community... as The Free States of Guffingford said themselves, "ViZion continues to display itself as a progressive, stable nation but honestly, only his allies take him seriously". The longer this goes on for, the closer to the truth this is.

~Lone Alliance News~
Today the Lone Alliance Navy departed for locations unknown after hearing of a possible nuclear threat against their nation, the Council has also be removed to an undisclosed location. All citizens are ordered to the shelters.

~Lone Alliance Capital~
As Air Raid Sirens blared people were rapidly rushing about gathering their most personal pocessions, the Navy had just departed with the crew and their families. On the roof of the Council building a group of helicopters took off for parts unknown.

~Alantic Ocean~
General Serov stood watching the Radar reading of the ViZion air group.
"Turn position and head for the Strait of Gibraltar." He ordered. "But sir that will put us in within range of their navy." Came the reply. "So be it, we must know where their heading and besides if there is a threat, it should show up at least around there."

Battle Group
1 BC Battle Cruiser Topaz 4 20 In guns, 12 Tomahawk Lauchers 6 Gattling AA guns.

3 Ageis Cruisers 6 Long Range Surface to Air Missile defense systems. 2 Laser anti air systems, 3 Gattling AA guns each.

30 PT Patrol boats, 6 Torpedo Tubes one use, 5 in defensive gun.

3 DD Destroyer, 4 16 Inch Guns, 2 SAM systems, one anti Mine Helicopter.

4 Anti Sub Helicopters.

It was a about seven hours into the situation that the Scout ship had picked up a Sub-Space signature behind it. The Commander on board the small three-man scout sent greetings and salutations, informing the Captain on the lone Heavy Cruiser of the situation as Sub-Space seeped off its freshly departed hull.

Captain Shane Johnson of the Anagonian Heavy Cruiser November had just recieved the communication, which was unusal as the November herself had just departed Sub-Space. Interested and confused by the importance of the situation, and wanting to despretly know WHY all his ships nuclear torpedoes were loaded off, Johnson read over the short but blunt message.

Commander Sax - Blazing Blue Scout Ship Comet

Contact me immedietly

[b]End Message[/i]

Even more confused, Shane looked at his Second-in-Command, Commander Vigor. Giving a puzzled look, he asked, "What do you think this is about?"

Commander Vigor shurgged, "I have no clue, perhaps a Fusion plant, or...nuclear war?"

Shane shook his head, "No, definitly not none of those. The Governor would have contacted Novar."

"Well, ask the Commander onboard the Comet."

Captain Johnson nodded, and immedietly opened a channel to the Comet. A screen appearing in the view-screen.

"Hello Captain Johnson," said Commander Sax, "sorry to have driven you away from the War."

"No problem," responded Shane, "The Galactic Empire just recently requested Anagonia's fleet, so were pretty early in the rally."

Commander Sax nodded, then went on to the issue at hand. "Alright, the situation is that ViZion, one of the strongest Super Powers on Earth, has, for some unknown reason, activated all its Nuclear Weapons."

"Why didn't the Governor contact the Supreme Commander," asked Johnson.

"I don't know, but he did send for a scout, however," responded Sax.

Captain Johnson nodded, "Makes sense, need to make sure that things seem as they are first. No need to get warmonger on things."

"Exactly," said Sax, then he continued, "as for the situation, over the past few hours many Nations have activated their fleets and aircraft, some Space-Worthy Nations have sent communications to somewhere in Sol. We believe it suggests Military Activity, but we arn't sure." He took in a breath, and continued, "One of the most interesting things is that we've heard rumors of something called 'Project Tiger-Claw', something that reportably some Nation has. They say its capable of taking control of Nuclear Armaments and using them offensivly against their builders."

Captain Johnson nodded, "Thats why our torpedo bays were emptied, I see now, makes sense. Just take the weapons away from the transmissions range, and were safe." Shane thought for a hard moment," But, what about the Ancient Land, won't it be left undefended?"

Commander Sax nodded gravely, "Yes, it would, but thats why YOUR here, to stay close and keep them nukes handy. Get my drift?"

Johnson nodded, "Indeed. Good plan, just in case this thing is real, we shouldn't take any chances."

A long silence ensued, Captain Johnson breaking it. "What about ViZion, you think their responsible for this rumor.....or they have this thing in their possesion?"

Sax stared directly into Johnsons eyes, "I want to say no, seeing the past of ViZion, however we can't route that one out. They have the capability, and if they have the capability they may have the project. We got to take this seriously. Hell, we might even have to get a few Battlecruisers over here." He looked out his viewports down at Anagonia below, so beautiful and full of grace. Sax then looked back at Johnson, "The Ancient Land must have our full and highest priority, even more so than Novar."

"I know," responded Johnson slowly, gazing down at his seat, then back at Sax, "I know."

A few minutes later, the Heavy Cruiser November slowly entered the atmosphere above Anagonian airspace. Communications were sent to and fro to indicate arrival points, and as soon as it locked on its heavy Anti-Gravity drives kicking in hard, bottom thrusters trying hard to keep balance. A few minutes later, and at last, it slowly came to a stop above an empty area of space on the ground below. Below this ground was a Military Base, secret in all its history. Though the people knew its existance, their government never denying to its people, it was truthfully known as the starting point for the Anagonian leap into outer-space. The Very place were Jedi met Leader in a show of friendship.

A huge docking tower ascended from the underground bases depths, reaching beside the Heavy Cruiser, near its Torpedo bays. The November would stay above this spot as Nuclear Armaments were loaded into its bays for some time. All the while, its turrets and compliment of fighter craft ensuring that all of Anagonia that was seen remained safe.

Green Sun Official Military Warning
If any strike is made against ViZion, Green Sun will stand by them if it is made before ViZion reveals what it is we have our toes on for and if it is revealed that ViZion has no hostile intents against any of us but they are stuck at anyway. Whatever this situation may be, it even has a well-known terrorist group in Green Sun on its toes, as it has been revealed earlier today.
We are issuing this warning not because of our personal thoughts on this situation, but because we are part of the SDC.

Official Imperial Statement-

The Empire, recognizing her position at the top of the ViZionarion government’s well publicized ‘Axis of Evil’ list, is understandably disturbed by the recent mass mobilizations within the ViZion nation, and the call to arms issued to her allies. As a result, the Empire has begun a counter mobilization of her armed forces and a call up of selected reserve units, combined with the placement of the rest of the Imperial reserve on high alert status. The Imperial strategic arms and countermeasures arsenal has also been placed on high alert. A lockdown at all major sea and airports is being put into effect as we speak, and all foreign citizens without proper travel authorization obtained after the time of this release will be detained until further notice.

Bunker 17, The Imperial Emergency Council Chamber, Below the White Citadel

“If this means what I think it means, your grace, we may find ourselves in a difficult position.”

Lord Varus, the Emperor’s nephew and chief advisor replied to the general seated to his right.

“In all my years, I doubt I’ve heard a bigger understatement.”

Emperor Antonius sat at the head of the table, drawing on a long cigar. He exhaled deeply, letting the smoke roll over his lips and wreath his head.

“I know we’re all very suspicious of this, but I need to know what exactly are the odds that they’re planning to target us?”

Varus leaned forward over the table.

“Consider the information we do have. We know ViZion has wanted a piece of us ever since they intercepted that transmission threatening the WWA years ago. We’re at the top of their public hitlist. They see these things in black and white. Just look at the tile, ‘Axis of Evil’ list. We’re evil, they’re good, and the righteous thing for them to do is sweep the board. They’ve been in isolation for years, biding their time, and now from what we can see, they’re ready to make a move.”

One of the generals spoke up, interrupting Varus.

“That’s nonsense. They have plenty of enemies. We can’t automatically assume things like that. It could draw more heat than we already have.”

Varus spoke up again, hitting his fist on the table.

“We also can’t assume they’re going after somebody else. Looking at those numbers they could be going after half the nations on the face of the goddamn planet! We have to be ready.”

Antonius raised his hand for order.

“It’s already been done. Varus is right. We have to be ready, but I have one thing to ask you General Nys’ky. If they do come at us, can we win?”

“With or without the support of our C A D allies, I have absolute confidence in out chances to repel an invasion.”

“Fine. Then for the moment, all we can do is wait.”

Antonius stood up and walked out of the room, followed by his nephew.

Official Imperial Response

We are most shocked alarmed by the nation of Vizion's seemingly hostile actions. As our diplomatic relations have not been very warm in the past, Imperial strategic and defensive forces are moving to high alert status. Please note that there is no offensive action intended.

Official International Release

Until such time that we can be informed of exactly what the situation is, we are taking a neutral stance in this matter. Be it noted that if an agressive move is made towards ViZion without provocation, we will provide them support.

For the time being, the Territorial Gaurds, Republican AirForce, and Special Weapons divisions have been mobalised to a High Defensive alert status. Border security is being tightened, and all urban areas are being placed under curfew.
We do not know what has caused this sudden mobalization by ViZion, but it alarms us to no end.

CTN Cuban Television Network Broadcast:

Last night the four members of the Security Council, the protecting body of the People met in a meeting that would end at the early hours of the morning. Upon exiting the meeting chamber the Foreign Minister had this to say to the assembled reporters from various nations:

-Tape Shows men briskly walking to their cars in twilight hours, one man is stopped-
"Comrade Foreign Minister, what can you tell us about the unscheduled meeting that just took place?"
"The rapid mobilization of ViZion and her call to allies to mobilize comes as a great surprise to the People of the United Cuban Territories of Communist Rule. The most shocking factor of this engagement is the limited communication that ViZion has had with her allies, the UCTCR included. This is of special concern to us due to the fact that ViZion claims to have activated all of her nuclear defense assets, yet the recently declassifed Project Tiger Claw silos in our nation have not yet received a political officer to provide turnkey status. It is with this knowledge that the Security Council feels that the ViZion government may be attempting a political masquerade in an attempt to coerce the UCTCR into becoming invovled in a conflict in which the ViZion government hopes we are eradicated."
"What about our troops? Will we mobilize?"
"At this time I am authorized by the Security Council to report that the UCTCR has activated Patriotic Defense Initiative Level 2. More details will come later, but expect to see reserves drawn up for defensive duty, and a large workforce shift to begin the maintenance and construction of several defense networks."
"What about our nuclear weapons? The Tiger Claw silos?"
"No comment."
-News Reporter Appears Once more at his desk-
As of 8 'o clock this morning 40% of reservists are being recalled to active duty. No further comments have been made by the security council. Count on CTN to keep you updated on this situation. In other news the local Boy Scout troop in Havana has made....

On the bridge of a Dreadnought far off in the stars, Drakomis was soon transported off. The Heavy Cruiser, Vigiliance, of the the oldest ships in the fleet, took on the Supreme Commander. He had a meeting with the Emperor of the Galactic Empire. However, inside his dark helment, a flash appeared as the image of Captain Shane Johnson of the Anagonian Heavy Cruiser November.

"Supreme Commander," started Captain Johnson, "forgive me for calling you personally."

Drakomis nodded, "It is alright, brethren. What is it you wish to speak to me about?"

"Sir, we may have a problem with the Ancient Land."

"What," Drakomis said, somewhat shocked, "the Ancient Land of our past? Who would dare?"

"No," Captain Johnson said comfortingly, "its only rumors. However I am worried about these rumors. They tell a tale of destruction, and perhaps of trickery. All I know is that our Ancient Grounds may be in danger."

Drakomis sighed, deeply, it being heared outside his helment. "Dreams of the Galactic War to come have pleagued my mind, nothing of the Goddess...nothing of our Ancients." He gazed up through his helment visor, "Are you sure Captain...if I order a small contigent....it may be needed by our Main Fleet..."

"Send what you must, Leader, all I ask is acknowledgment of the situation." Captain Johnson gave a peaceful, confident look, "I'm sure the November can destroy anything these beings could every throw at us."

Satisfied with his Captains confidence, he gave a smile himself, a way of acknowledging the Captain. "Be safe, Brethren, I need not loose any good Leaders."

"Understood, Supreme Commander." Shane saluted, "Out."

Official Response:
All Shenyangi Military forces not currently abroad are being put on High Alert pending further developments. At the moment no military action is planned. However national defenses have been stepped up until further notice.

All over Shenyang:
Fighters were being scrambled from every air force base with a squadron. An aluminum cloud filled Shenyangi airspace. Hidden from all view except possibly satellite the SNS Revelation, a Nike Deep Strike Sub, deployed from a hidden sub base along the northern coast. A full payload of Katana and Trident missiles in its belly. It silently moved toward its station in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Border defenses activated and began scanning for targets.

Leafanistan has finished the recall of the 3rd and 4th Republican Interstellar Naval Detachments from the colony of Reach, be advised it has 500 ODSTs awaiting insertion. All throughout Leafanistan, newly purchased Su-78s took off, laden with their deadly cargo on patrol missions. Civil Defense Corps F-15s took off on patrols of minor cities. Naval squadrons mobilized, and F-22 Sea Raptors took off. A massive satellite net glowed in anger, as its defensive MASERs came online. On the ground it was happening too. Also, Reserve Officiers were being recalled for immediate refreshing in combat training. Leafanistan was preparing for the worst.

The aid quickly ran down the hallway and knocked on the massive doors to the Emperor’s bedroom.

“Sir, I have urgent news, bigger than anything we’ve seen.”

“HOLD ON!”

The sound of a toilet flushing brings smiles and small cackling from some of the guards. As the large door begins to open they quickly straighten up and return to expressionless silent faces.

Secret Bunker beneath Jonaked

“Well we have joined forced with Generia, a threat to them, an enemy to them would be an enemy to us. If they’ve mobilized we must too, if Vizion seeks them then they seek us as well.”

"But we dont know if Vizion seeks them."

"It doesnt matter. Even if they dont, I believe we are allied to Vizion as well several ways, we may support them in their war, we may defend against their attacks. We must mobilize."

“Yes sir, that’s as I see it too.”

“Go to Defcon 1. Shut down gate traffic to all but military. Bring the battle tunnels up and prepared for fighting. Defenses online. Bring HDP to full power, active the EOO’s defenses. Recall all units to our shores. Mobilize everything. Get Foreign military bases locked down and ready for war. Wake up Shoobooshaaba and all Shooban like assets.”

“You mean…”

“Yes, I do. All of them."

President Maybury finally made an announcement directly from himself.

This message was pre-recorded from a secured and undisclosed location, send via person to yet another undisclosed location thus to be untrackable, and, and then broadcasted from a secret location. President Maybury was moved only moments after the taping was finished.

Greetings, fellow leaders from abroad. I am President Maybury. This is a pressing time for all nations right now, ViZion especially.

We understand how everyone would be unnerved by our recent moves, activating our entire nuclear arsonal and mobilizing our entire military.

I have authorized this message to be broadcasted, as we feel it is only a matter of hours before the threat begins to become a reality.

There are many nations involved in what is the first and largest threat. Yes, there are many threats that are not directly linked to eachother. However, together, they can - and will, if we are not prepared for it - cause armageddon. Judgement Day, if you will.

Let me go into depth over this.

The first threat is center around the Phalanixian War Council. A mix of insiders, as well as intercepted and decoded messages indicate that they plan a massive assault to take over Phalanix using what has been discribed as a "mutant viral Acigoo". (OOC: Before you get turned off because all you remember of Acigoo was the n00bfest of an Acigoo incident, please read the OOC info regarding this below.. also, it doesn't just include Acigoo, nor is this entire thing centered around it... it is only the part that kicks off this entire thing, and will be one of many things that will eventually be happening...) that they plan on using on their populas, and from there, all who stand in their way, all who support their current government, and all who they view as opposition nations - centered around ViZion, and those who support it, as well as any other nations who are linked to their current government.

This "Council" has many strong supporters, who can and WILL bring this war to your doorsteps if you no not stop this. Not with Acigoo, but with WMD's and forces strong enough to run over any unprepared nation.

There are also reports of many hostile nations, many listed on the Axis of Evil list, who have been reportedly preparing an offensive against those who they view as threats. This, obviously, includes ViZion, as well were the creators of this list.

We are still working on tracking down the supporters of these nations and this council, as we are convinced they will bring this war to our doorsteps, and to the doorsteps of those in good standing relations with ViZion.

We cannot, and WILL NOT, rule out any nation in poor standings with ViZion, as well as those supporting the suspect nations, as a non-threat, and we will continue to work to find out what nations exactly are in on this.

We wish to send a warning to all those who have declared or, or are making threats of war towards us that you have been listed as threats, and we will be looking into any links with you and suspect nations. Again, at this time, your nations have been listed as a threat to ViZion.

All citizens of those nations are currently being rounded up and quarantined in various different foreign nationalists prisons. They are not being questioned at this time, and are being treated with the up-most respect. However, due to these threats of wars, and the declaration of war announced upon us, we cannot take any chances.

We are still in lock-down, which means no one may enter or exit - rather they are a foreign citizen or our own citizen.

We also have begun ordering all civilians into the underground networks - foreigns and citizens of ViZion alike. We have also opened our weapon distribution centers to begin arming our civilians incase of an invasion.

We will keep you updated.

Thank you, and God Bless.

The transmission was ended there.

As that precise moment, the roundup had already begun and over 6,000 foreigners from those nations labled as a threat had already been detained.

Secret IC meeting:
"President Maybury... but, this could..." stammered a stocked adviser.
"I don't care! We must begin! Prepare the arsonal!" demanded President Maybury, yelling so loudly and deeply that all the loosely hung picture seemed to shutter.
He then took a deep sigh, plopped down onto his seen, and rubbed his face, then saying, "Do you think I really want to do this? You damn fucking well know I don't want to. But, we must... before they do."
"Yes, sir." he stated, then saluting, turning, and walked out the door.
The General then gave the nod to Maybury, saluted, turned, and left the room.

OOC: About the Acigoo.

First, for those of you who are wondering What the hell is 'Acigoo'?, I have your answer.

It originally showed up in the latter part of 2003 on a meteoroid that hit some nation... I forgot what it was called. Anyway, this goo substance began to leak from it. It turned out it was extremely acidic - it ate through even the sand of the desert it arrived in. Within a couple days, the impact area had become known as Acigoo Lake - it turned into a lake of Acigoo. Acigoo continually expands, and there is nothing physical that can hold it.

To make a long, long, LONG ass story short, it began spawning single-celled organisms, and then more and more advanced creators. At first they were nice, and Acigoo was being taken from the impact site. Soon, though, the newer creators began becoming very violent. It took a month or longer if I remember correctly to destroy it - and only thanks to a future-tech nation that had dealt with the substance before and helped us contain it and rid Earth of it.

Unfortunately, there was the small bit that had been collected by various nations and scientists - not all had been taken care of. It made a few appearances since then - I think 3 in total after the original incident.

Yes, it's a bit science-fiction, but it mades for a kick-ass fighting RP considering it'll eat anything and everything, spawns creators that will eat entire militaries alive, and nuclear weapons only fuel Acigoo and make it and the creators stronger.

Now.. for those of you who are worried this'll turn into another n00bfest that you could swear Acigoo is all about... this time, there's going to be ground rules so that the RP doesn't do that... Phalanix, however, has all the rules set up, and he'll have to post them when he gets on. But trust me, this will not become a n00bfest.

PNN Update- Urgent press release from the council

- Just moments ago the council simply had this to say.
We members of the Military Council feel that the actions of our long time trusted ally and friend Vi Zion's leader, President Maybury, is a simple smear campaign and the fact that he is lying to the masses by saying we are attempting to take over Phalanix. That we will kill anyone in our path. He is smearing the truth with his own brand of lies that want you to believe that in the moment of our crisis as we are being attacked by agents who wish to be counter-productive and wish to obliterate our birthing ground.
This evidence that he has can simply have been fabricated by defectors and used agianst our just cause. If you feel the need to suddenly turn your back on years of friendship and forsake possibly your clossest ally that has fought beside you, has beld for your nation then so be it.

~Lone Alliance Colonies~
As soon as the Council touched down at their interm base they quickly recieved the Transcript of the most recent message. "OH DEAR MOTHER OF..." One shouted dropping his load of Briefcases. "Call everyone back!!!" Said another. "Everyone agree?" "Yes!" Came the full council reply as they ran towards the underground building.

The Klaxxon of the Topaz quickly activated at the end of the message. A teletype message came over the system. ##ALL SHIPS FULL REVERSE##
Meanwhile up on the deck a group of the sailors gathered watching the thick cloud of ViZion aircraft. "Man this is big," One said, "What's it about?" said another. "I don't know." As the crew began to mobilize another message came through. ##RETURN TO BASE##

=Lone Alliance Official News=
Today the nation as declared a total lockdown on all travel, the border pillboxes have been manned and all travel to other nations and or within the country has been restricted to Millitary traffic only.

This morning by my request I have ordered the Mobilization of Dr_Twist Military forces around the Globe.

More Information will be released to the Public when the Dr_Twist government determines it is the right time for the world to be told of our Military developments.

IC:
Within the halls of the Dark Council of Monsteria, the Great Dark One, the mortal leader of the nation along with his elected religious representatives the Dark Council, sat viewing the announcement of President Maybury. When the message ended he waved his hand and the pool of black water from which they were viewing the news overshadowed the image of Maybury.

"I approve of this new pool of viewing. It looks very spooky. And we didn't have to sacrifice any souls for it?" He asked.

"No, your Unkindness. Its a TV set up for viewing below the water." Said one of the Council members.

"Spiffy. Now, for the more important issue at hand. Maybury. I take it this will mean that our hypothesis that ViZion might have been undergoing some sort of coup can be ruled out?" the Dark one questioned.

"Not entirely ruled out Hateful One. There have been of course incidents where..." began another council member.

"Speculating about a clone or double at this point would be fruitless my Lord." Interrupted third.

"Well put. And what was determined by our efforts at scrying the darkness for clues on how to act?" The Dark One asked. Within the black hoods of several members of the council glances were made. They looked surprisingly sheepish considering the dark setting and general lack of features shown.

"Well oh Foul One, the sacrificial baby from which we were to scry the bones was... eaten." Piped up one.

"I understand that. That was the whole point."

"Ah... yes. But I mean it was eaten whole. There were no bones or remnants at all to scry from." The most recent speaking councilperson replied.

"Whyyyyy?"

"Because a few of us..." said the third council member, looking back at the fourth "thought it would be a rich idea to give it to the biggest demon possible instead of an imp. Because it was so important."

A new voice spoke up. "Still sir, we might determine that this in itself is a sign. After all, if we remember that he has stated a return of Acigoo, which many scholars consider to be manifestations of the great Yog Shoggoth's insatiable hunger, complete destruction is easily taken as a sign that all will perish. Sir."

"Interestingly put number 5."

"Five sir?" the fifth replied.

"Yes. It’s getting hard to keep track of all of you. Black hoods and evil voices. It gets kind of silly if you don't know whose who." explained the Great Dark One. The Council murmured assent to the new naming system.

"Still" started the one to be called number 2, "we are lacking in any sort of direction as to who to work with. It is obvious if ViZion was in any way interested in a nation as small as ours we would be summarily put into the Axis of Evil list of theirs. On the other hand there have been more declarations of unity with ViZion than there have been detractors. Involvement against them could brook serious... complications."

"Good points number two. However you were not as intelligent sounding in your first remarks. I'll remind you to stick to some sort of character."

"Yes Oh Doomer,” said a now very humility filled council member.

"My Lord?"

"Yes number Five?"

"Three Oh Naughtiest"

"Three. Go ahead." The Dark Lord slowly realized that even this number system would be completely botched the next time one of these meetings took place.

"Yes Lord. If we were to get hold of some of Acigoo remnants we could combine our knowledge of demon summoning and control and alter it to use in creation of the horrors even more powerful that ones seen with previous uses of it."

"An interesting ploy." Mused the Dark One.

A new voice spoke up. "Oh Creator-of-Many-Nasty-Things? I have a-"

"All right, stop. Stick with Lord or Dark One. You guys are starting to be silly again." Interrupted the Dark one. "Now please proceed number Six."

"Oh Be- er... Lord, what if we were to offer our abilities to one of the more powerful nations that have Acigoo remnants. We would enable ourselves to be associated with victory, we would be reasonably out of danger from nuclear bombardment as nobody would be foolish enough to nuke a stockpile of Acigoo, and we would have an opportunity to uncover Secrets Man Was Not Meant to Know." Six argued.

"Mmm. I like this idea. Begin at once. Work up dossiers of all nations known to keep Acigoo in any form. Begin discrete diplomatic inquiries with any of them that are listed in the Axis of Evil to see if they could be interested in our unique skills. That will be all."

"What about Phalanx, Lord?" asked the one soon to be number seven.

"They don't seem to have the history to keep such wonderful weapons. Keep an eye on them but don't tip our hand to them. We will see what they do to ViZion."

"Well that was a waste of time, sir..." General Turgidson stated, looking at the latest message from the Juris Naturalis nation of ViZion which was currently laying before him, along with the other members of the national security meeting, on printed paper.

"General, I don't fully understand, what is this 'acigoo' of which they seem so vitally afraid of?" Lord General deGritz asked calmly. Due to the urgancy of the matter, all of the men currently sitting at the large round table were not playing poker like in previous meetings. "They would have to be insane to create such act in such a stupid matter without genuinely being fearful of this substance."

"It's my professional opinion, sir, that Acigoo is one of the biggest cons in history. Other nations state that it's a alien substance from 'unknown origins' possibly biological in nature which eats through everything it comes into contact with..." Buck then smirked, concidering this for a moment. "However all of the information provided to us thus far has failed to prove this substances existance and all our scientists have denied that it's even possible for such a bioweapon to even exist... in essence, whatever they think it is, it's probably just a more standard limited biological or even nanite weapon designed to take on the legendary 'Acigoo' mantle. Never the less, our sciencists assure us that we are equipped to deal with such threats just in case."

The Lord General nodded in understanding. "Hm... well, it's enough that ViZion believes it's real. Only an idiot would rile up the international community like that over some joke weapon of mass destruction. We'd better keep our people on standby just in case and keep an eye on ViZion forces as well as their known allies... I don't trust them."

"Fully understood, Sir."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iuthia's reaction was something of an anti-climax from the original statement, the nation's military assets didn't seem too much more active compared to previous satellite intelligence observed as the Iuthian Military hadn't made any overt effort to get everything ready... some leave had been cancelled, but for the time being this incident wasn't a high priority. Fleet positions of the Iuthian Navy had changed slightly to better protect the Iuthian coasts from any potential threat... but nothing extra was mobilised.

The biggest change was perhaps the hardest to notice as a number of satellites high above in the Earth's orbit were so many that being able to spot any changes in Iuthian satellites would be almost impossible; they didn't make a point of having their satellites conventiently marked "Iuthian" and the recon sats were very small and low profile. With any luck, this was all that was needed as several satellites had changed course to fit the latest intel needs of the Benevolent Dictatorship.

Secret IC:

The Supreme OverLord Chancellor of The Supreme Overlordian Empire of Zerbia absorbed the information given to him by the Priest of War, one of many men who stood in a semi circle around the The Supreme OverLord Chancellor who sat upon his throne, as ever, unemotional.

"Subhumanity is capable of stupidity, and subhumanity is stupidity, the imperfection that the Zerbian race should seek to eradicate from being allowed to breathe the same oxygen, live on the same land, as those of the pure Zerbian race, the pinnacle of the human race." The Supreme Overlord Chancellor said in a iron voice.

"It is such that awareness of subhumanity and it's subsequent threat through not having esteemed intelligence to act accordingly to pure race example, that I hereby order The Zerbian War Machine to mobilise and prepare as ever for what the Zerbian race has always been destined for: The eradication of subhumanity, of it's corrupted impurity, a mistake in existence that should not exist, that needs to be crushed and eradicated accordingly.
The allies of The Zerbian race stand with us as we stand with them, and should need be, our destiny shall see it, that the superiority of race shall be victorious, and so shall all those who ally with the superiority of race....the Zerbian race...who shall now prepare, as always have been, for what is their destiny, and their duty....the eradication of subhumanity. Forever." The man on the throne finished, his tone unchanged, authoritive.

The semi circle of men around The Supreme OverLord Chancellor stood in awe and admiration.

Only the Priest of War broke the silence, an audio acknowledgement to carry out the request bestowed, a request unchallenged for it's absolute authority over all of The Zerbian Race.

"Yes, My Supreme OverLord Chancellor!"

End of Secret IC

OOC: This is not a declaration of war, but a mobilisation as a precaution, of armed forces and the populace....just in case.

"What is this, Polax?" Shouted the Prime Minister at his Foreign Secretary across the huge Edwardian dining hall.

"Acigoo, Prime Minister!" Tiberius Polax shouted back.

"What?" The Prime Minister shouted once more. His voice reveberated about the huge room which would later play host to a banquet held by the Imperator himself.

"Acigoo! Apparently it will eat through anything it touches, and can survive and grow even in a vacuum." The Prime Minister sat motionless at this revelation. After a few moments, he spoke again.

"Acigoo? It sounds like a make of plastercine... and what do you say, Polax? It can eat through anything? Sounds like rubbish to me. Just a hoax, Polax!"

"Well, ViZion seems to think that there's something to it. They're making brash threats and threatening to nuke the world and such like."

"ViZion?" The Prime Minister barked back, "Are they not the ones who got that battleship missing? The Iowa?"

"Yes, that's the one. I doubt that what they're saying is true. Our Chief Scientific Advisor says that acigoo is a load of rubbish that they've made up to scare people. My professional opinion, as foreign secretary, is that this is an excuse for ViZion to take military action against nations as yet unknown. I do not, however, believe that they are any threat to us judging by their ill-diciplined and badly equipped navy."

"Right. Well... nothing to get ourselves worked up about. Let's let the rest of the world go mad, eh Polax?"

"Quite, Prime Minister."

--New Antioch, Markov High Command--

President Stillen sighed as the taped transmission from ViZion ended.

"So, we are fighting goo? This is asanine." Stillen says outloud.
"What proof is there that ViZion's intelligence is correct in this matter? How does Maybury know that nations unfriendly to ViZion may be planning something?"

"We don't know sir. They havn't released any of their intel to allied nations. As far as we know, noone has any intentions of hostile actions against ViZion." The Secretary of defense says.

"Ok, well until ViZion or any other allied nation is harmed, Markov will not deploy any offensive forces. For, now just leave coastal defense on high alert."

"Yessir"

as the message ended Harderthenhell's General tougherthenyou yelled "Alert all stations and get me the NDS guys here now damn it!" "what in hell is happening out there"Staff sargent illbeatyouup opened the door leading to the War room the 7 members of NDS walked in all in standed battle dress knee high boots and elbow lenght gloves, barrres except for jike and MDK who had helmets masks on as always!

Ready your Troops and the imperial army at once! get thoses starfighters in the air and move out the ships and subs to our parimeter!

All of Harderthenhell defences were alreay actice but everyone was alerted to treaches and bunkers, SAM sites sparg up ready to defend the skys and pontent missles sprang up from there silo a mix of anthrax ,agent orange and
a strange purple liqiud these were the last weapons to fly if hardertehnhell was destraoyed armed with laser so nothing could take them out they were thew ultermte contengency weapon!

what would happen next was anone guess!?

"Fascinating, I'm sure." were the first words out of Lucifer's mouth when he heard of the tension concerning ViZion. "Yet another nation threatening the world? Ho hum. It would be foolish to be completely unprepared, but equally foolish to enact total lockdown like some of these nations."

"Yes, Divine One," The herald replied obediently.

"The 1st Fleet is still on the Gold Sea. Tell them to be prepared to scramble interceptors. Ditto for CHARIOT High Command, Naval Command, and Typhon Military Airfield. And tell Commander Locke that he can remove the safeties on no more than twelve missiles, and that he should program the Shavan warheads to target ViZion's population."

"Yes, Divine One."

"And when you're done, head to the harem. Go on, have some fun. Consider it my reward. A bottle of rum will be sent to your quarters."

OOC: Oh yeah. Didn't see that one coming. Acigoo.

I ignored that back in Dec '03.

The 1st Elites were preparing for something they had no clue about, the Knight Elite recieved the message in his visor. "Knight Warlords, you are summoned to appear before the Emperor and his Council of Regents. Knight Elites, you will appear before the Emperor himself and him only." The Knight Elite clicked his visor and handed told his Squire Elite to take over. Knight Elite Farrow had done this a million times and never could get over it. Farrow jumped from the ship and switched on the oxygen. He hit the first chute and ducked into a thermal jetstream.

(OOC: Lol, yea, fought a war with and against that stuff. Heh, man, thats one heck of a ploy of war. Anywho, thinkin about sending a small Fleet Contigent to intimidate, but thats useless anyway since ViZion hasn't truthfully said anything about the threat ICly. OOCly, I think this is interesting, lol......

hey, I just thought of something....the FLYING LAWNMOWER! Weeeeeeeeeee! wwwwwwwwweeeeeeeee- [BUUUUZZZZZRRRRTTTT] *gets chopped up*)

Official Confederate Statement-

To comply with the C A D Charter, and to counter the increasingly aggressive moves of the ViZion Goverment, the Confederate Chancellor of Inkana, Karl Dorenz, has made the following statement on behalf of Confederate President R. E. Lee:

"In these times we live in...no step that can ensure the safety and peace of world order can afford to not be taken. The nation of ViZion is a threat to this peace and balance. In order for a more peacful, perfect world, and in keeping with the Charter of the C A D alliance, the nation of Inkana is hereby mobilizing it's reserves. Our Navies are being put to sea, our brave men in uniform are getting their weapons and field uniforms, our air fleets are getting fueled and armed. All over the Inkanan Commonwealth, in Turkey, in Cyprus, and in Syria men are being prepared for battle. I pray to god that these forces need not to be used, but in event that they should, I know that they will perform to the best that a Human being can. Thank you, and God Bless.

Secret IC-

Trieste, North Inkana

In the early dawn light, the Kriegsmarine was preparing for war. Task Force 12, The Inkanan Navy's First Response Strike Force, was nearing ready. The 1st Marine Division, along with the 7th Panzer Division, and the 19th Infantry Divison were being loaded onto transports for the journey to forward bases in the Inkanan Mediterrenean Posessions.

Colonel-General Samuel Forestt, hero of the Civil War, was commanding the Expeditionary Force.

"Magnificant, isn't it?" He asked his aide.

"What sir?" He responded.

"All this." He quoted Patton. "Compared to war, all other forms of Human Endeavor pale in comparision."

"It's not war yet, sir."

"It will be. By god, it will be." The General promised.

By 8 AM the great fleet sailed off into the distance, it's compliment of F-84 Vampire Fighters providing constant CAP to ward off any marauding hostile aircraft. It was an extremely large fleet for being a Task Force. All counted, there were 190 ships, of course, 45% of these were auxilliary ships and transports. It was under the command of the veteran Admiral Keith J. Bowen.
If ViZion wanted to play ball, Inkana would meet them on equal terms.

OOC: Acigoo... again??? I thought we were done with that crap....

OOC: Acigoo is not the only thing concerning this entire thing, as I stated in my previous post. It is the first of many things to come. Everything else involves WMD's and non-"fantasy"-like war.

(O.O.C: Basicly the Acigoo is the Catalyst in starting a long chain of events, this appearence of the Acigoo will throw nearby nations into fear seeing how it's so close, fingers will be pointed, the countries might execute everyone nearby to prevent the Acigoo from using them to grow. A massive manhunt will be searching for the one who had it. Lots of sabers are going to rattle and eventually someone is going to snap.) (Then the Acigoo becomes a much smaller problem.)

Secret IC:

“Acigoo, that shit’s pretty serious. I remember when we came into contact with that, several nations completely gone because of that, if it weren’t for our size and military we would’ve been gone too. We wiped our hands of that, and I thought we’d never have to deal with that.”

Chancellor Licinius looked at General Markus, the general in charge of the war involving Acigoo. As he did the general looked at him too, they said all they needed to in their eyes and then nodded in agreement.

“Actually sir, we a uh…uh…didn’t exactly, um…wipe our hands clean of it.”

Bhalk’s face began to contour into a heavily disapproving stare. His head slowly rotated to the Chancellor’s face, his eyes gazed into his and the chancellor took a step back. Licinius’ eye quickly darted to Markus and Bhalk then looked at him too.

All other’s eyes were on these two now.

“What the fuck did you do?”

“Well see, we had Nail take in a small task force of Raptors…”

OOC: I'm in a hurry. Forgive me.

"You sent for me, Divine One?"

Lucifer looked urgent. Which was to say angry. This was bad. For the servants of the Palace, VERY bad. Possibly bad for the whole Empire, depending on his orders.

"The ViZion situation has become infinitely more dangerous than I first thought. The CAD is beginning to involve itself. That obviously includes us. The forces I have activated likely will not be enough. Firstly, tell the Imperator to activate Patriot strategic defense systems. Secondly, tell all airbases near major cities to begin patrolling the skies starting IMMEDIATELY! Thirdly, prepare all strategic weapons for launch. Fourthly, raise general alert status to Class Apocalypse. Finally, activate...let's say the 5th Legion, the 14th Immortals Legion, the 2nd Armored, and the 6th Fleet. I want us prepared."

(O.O.C: Basicly the Acigoo is the Catalyst in starting a long chain of events, this appearence of the Acigoo will throw nearby nations into fear seeing how it's so close, fingers will be pointed, the countries might execute everyone nearby to prevent the Acigoo from using them to grow. A massive manhunt will be searching for the one who had it. Lots of sabers are going to rattle and eventually someone is going to snap.) (Then the Acigoo becomes a much smaller problem.)
OOC: Well... pretty close to it. Basically that's what happens. But also there's going to be a war that is sparks by an invasion into ViZion... so "intel" says... and that's the other part. That is, if ViZion doesn't make the first strike.

Green Sun has bumped up to Code Black. All citizens are to be in tehir homes and off of the streets. City militia and police forces will supply citizens with everything they need.

Green Sun has sent out a reminder to all nations to simply be on their toes and not pick sides just yet. ViZion has a right to be in the state it is, as we all do. Whether ViZion is the threat or if it comes from elsewhere, it it absolutely necessary that we do not make the first move, but let those responsible do it so we will know what to do from there.

Presidential Palace; Shelbin, Jarridia

President Jarrod Branam sat in the confines of his office, shuffling through the papers on his desk and continuing the normal business that he had been doing for years now in the silence that Jarridia had taken.

The Cheif of Staff, Kim Shaffer, walked in and cleared her throat before the President. He looked up, the shadow falling across his face, allowing her to only see a small glimpse of his face.

"Sir, we've recieved word that our long time friend, and greatest ally ViZion has mobilized an enormous amount of weaponry to stave off some sort of disaster." she said while trying to adjust her eyes.

A smirk came across his face, but she could not see it, and then he looked down at the papers on his desk again. He laughed slightly and then spoke, "the time has come."

She questioned him and asked, "what do you mean sir?"

He looked at her, and then stood up, turning and looking out the window in his massive office. "Jarridia has been awoken. I can feel it deep within me. We've been silent for so long, that the world has forgotten us. Can't you hear it?"

She listened for a moment, but said nothing, and Jarrod continued, "ViZion is calling for us, Kim. The alliance is yearning for our activity. The world must, once again, learn to love and fear the alliance of Jarridia and ViZion. Our reputation must be reasserted, no matter what the cost." He turned and slammed his fists down on the desk, "Mobilize the forces at once! I want the entire nuclear arsenal at my immediate disposal, if the need arises. It is time for the Jarridian forces to wreak havoc on the world that has forsaken us!"

Kim nodded, and with a smile hurried out of the room. This is a moment she had been waiting for, and so had the rest of Jarridia. The war machine that Jarridia had built, was finally to be woken from its dreary slumber.

Bridge - ICS Imperious

Admiral Pulaski read the communique from Imperial High Command.

TO ALL IMPERIAL CROSSMANIAN FORCES WITHIN THE VACINITY OF EARTH:
Due to the possibility of Acigoo being released the Emperor has ordered that all nuclear stockpiles are to be activated and all starships in Sol be prepared to commence orbital bombardment of any nation that attempts to use Acigoo.


--------

***PUBLIC STATEMENT FROM EMPEROR CROSSMAN***

To any nation that dares to use acigoo or take advantage of the possible use of acigoo, I warn you, you will be dealt with by all means. I say again, the use of acigoo against another nation, or even your own, will result in the complete destruction of your country. You are warned

A short, but to the point message was sent out from ViZion, once again not sent by President Maybury;

We now have intel pointing at the possibility that there are a couple of terrorist networks planning on strikes against ViZion and her allies, and working with nations on the Axis of Evil list, such as Generic Empire as it is believed.

We are now making plans on a rapid-reaction strike should these terrorists attack any nations we are in good standings with.

Secret IC
Two B-2's armed with four nuclear bombs apiece, and flanked by 16 F-22's have taken off from an undisclosed location within ViZion's borders and are headed to an unknown location. Some government officials and military officials are speculating a first-strike attack, however they do not know which country would be first to take the blast.

President Maybury personally has ordered this, and has issued a gag order on this. There are only a select couple of General's and Maybury who know what exactly is going on. Those on the bombers will open up their orders upon reaching a specific location. From that point on, it is unknown what will happen.

Maybury also has refused to comment.

While almost everything us unknown about this mission, one this is for certain: These planes are not headed for Phalanix.

Neerdams spyplanes and satellites are tracking the B2's bombers and are trying too predict the route but due too heavy storms over our nation we have been unable too determine their course. Intercepting the bombers is considdered unwise out of fear for a nuclear holocaust.

"May god have mercy on their souls." The federation of neerdam, although non religious, prays.

Official warning sent to all nations:
Shenyang Military High Command, at the order of the High Council has ordered a No-Fly-Zone initiated over Shenyang. Any aircraft not identifying itself as an allied aircraft or civilian craft will be shot down immediately. Fighter patrols have been stepped up to tighten defenses and provide visual confirmation that incoming aircraft are what they say they are. All border defense batteries are being activated as well. Mobile anti-air batteries are being deployed to second tier positions behind the border batteries. Capital defenses and defenses at all military bases are being placed on high alert and all strategic weapons including the ODIUS Cannon, VOLGR, and the Arkbird bombers are being put on high alert.

Secret IC: Every strategic weapons system in Shenyang began to buzz to life. Each weapon was assigned a high priority target to strike should Sheyang come under any attack. Deep in the Great Shenyang Crevasse, beneath enough ice and metal to stop a planet-killing asteroid the ODIUS cannon began charging procedures. High above the VOLGR began pre-launch procedures as well. A kinetic energy shell was loaded and the reactor began slowly gathering the charge for a launch. Also a squadron of Arkbird bombers lifted off from their hidden base, Katana cruise missiles in their wings, and began a holding pattern over Shenyang await orders to attack. All of Shenyang held its breath, hoping that this blatent show of force would deter any attack on Shenyang.

A short, but to the point message was sent out from ViZion, once again not sent by President Maybury;

We now have intel pointing at the possibility that there are a couple of terrorist networks planning on strikes against ViZion and her allies, and working with nations on the Axis of Evil list, such as Generic Empire as it is believed.

An immediate response was dispatched to ViZion. Of course, the message was simply reinforcing the notion that Doomingsland would support Generia to the last man, and not denying the allegations of terrorist networks operating within the borders of Axis of Evil list nations...

Official Imperial Response

If any action is taken on our righteous allies, the Generians, expect a full retaliatory response from the Empire. This is not a threat: this is a promise. To make war on Generia is to make war on Doomingsland. Keep this in mind should you attempt to launch some futile invasion attempt.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solac-Ur Facility, Crematoria, Doomingsland

As the local time neared 12:00 PM, the surface temperature began to rise and rise, forcing men operating above to head to the elevators. Frantic soldiers scrambled to the concealed elevator shafts that lead nearly a mile below the ground. As the last man climbed aboard, the temperature outside had reached 140 degrees farenheight. This was average weather for Crematoria.

Deep below the surface sat a vast, secret facility; a replacement for the Mt. Doom facility. The presense of Mt. Doom had become far to widely known, so the Imperial High Command was forced to relocate to this facility. Here was located the control hub for the Doomingsland BattleNet along with the controls for the Fist of God system, Doomingsland's orbital weapons system.

Emperor Helldawg V, Lord and Emperor of Doomingsland, was here at this very facility to direct Imperial Forces for what was seen as an immenant invasion. Nearly the entire military had mobilized and almost the entire navy had been recalled to home. Imperial Guard units (militia forces) were now undergoing excessive drilling in city defense. Normal citizens were now required to possess a weapon chambered for the 6.5x'06mm cartrige, and the government, for once, was willing to provide for their citizens. In fact, the Emperor had only recently commisioned a new design for an ultra-cheap rifle that could be used to arm the population en masse for roughly thirty dollars a piece (thirty dollars included the weapon, web gear, six preloaded magazines, a cheap helmet made to look like the Mk.III helmet but constructed of hardened plastics, and a hand-me-down kevlar vest).

The sight of lower and middle class citizens lining up at Imperial Gaurd mobilization centers to recieve their weapons became a common sight in the streets of the various cities.

Then there was the real threat to any invasion army: the strategic arm of the Imperial Military. Several thousand nuclear missiles were now being reprogrammed to target major ViZion cities and the cities of her allies. Intermediate range missiles were also being prepared for a possible strike. These missiles didn't have nearly the range required to reach the enemy's homeland. However, they could easily vaporize an invasion fleet bound for the Empire.

Then there were the orbital weapons: roughly twenty satelites armed with both tungsten rods and nuclear MIRVs sat in orbit over the Earth. They could easily adjust their couse and be put in geo-syncinous orbit over a hostile nation. These satelites were protected with their own CIWS and other defensive satelites.

Of course, this was all a grand precaution. It was expected that, if ViZion were go go after Generia, they would certainly go after Doomingsland, as both nations lie seperated by just a few hundred miles of sea, the South Sea of Generia, or the North Sea of Doom, depending on who you listened to. If a hostile nation landed an army on Generia's southern coast, they'd be wide open to land-based cruise missile attacks out of Doomingsland. If they landed on the north coast, a massive reinforcement effort could be used to send a few hundred thousand men up through Generia's southern coast to confront an enemy army and assist allied forces.

All in all, if they wanted to kill Generia, they'd also have to kill Doomingsland. The Emperor had a good reason for this mass mobilization. He fully expected the desert sands of his homeland to run red with the blood of foreign infidels....

Secret IC:
In the Prime Minister's Hall in Clamptown...

A roar of thunder was heard over the lightning plains. The small population abiding in the boarder lands ignored this sudden interuption to daily life, as yet another rumble of thunder, something that the residence of the nation got used to and now seemed oblivious too, due to the nature of their nations ominous weather.
not far from the ground, just scraping above the tallest building of a little outskirt village infact, 2 huge triangular black shapes soared over head at unimaginable speed. This, however did catch the attention of the villagers. seconds later, now that everyone was looking up, 16 more slender machines soared past and over with a deafening noise that had many people holding their ears with heads on the ground.
Within seconds it was all over, and the little village seemed stunned at what had happened. The primitive population seemed oblivious to the outside world other than the capital city at the heart of the boarder lands.

"well that was very odd" said one village elder, who was stunned, having never seen a plane before in his life.

"these are odd times" said another. as they turned and strolled off to what could only be described as a shack, a shack that had some resemblance through nature to that of a bar.

In response to the threat of the so called 'Acigoo', the Brittonian Empire is sending this plea to any nation that's fought against this threat before in asking the best way to combat it. Apparently nuclear arsenals are useless against it. The involvement of terrorist cells particularly concerns the empire, because of the large amount of terroism occuring here and the number of terrorist cells within the empire. In resposne to this threat, our borders are now sealed. All civil aircraft are hereby grounded, any aircraft violating this shall be warned once, and then fired upon. A 100 mile exclusion zone around the empires coastal areas is also being enforced, the same shall apply here, one warning then you will be fired upon. It is however the empires duty to suggest that nations facing an Acigoo threat begin developing Alkaline countermeasures, this will neatrualise an acidic substance and either render it harmless or make it far less dangerous.

OOC:

So, what, I can only use MT forces here, or FT? Just asking, ViZion.

Oh, and nice plot so far, its taking twists and turns, and with Acigoo, its just rediculous now, lmao.

Oh, boy...I remember what happened last time with that stuff....

Lucifer gazed down at the report with a face like stone. Commodore Jamaane trembled. He'd seen this mood before. So had a lot of dead people. Any second now he would explode-
"AAAARRRRRRGGHHHHH!" Lucifer roared, tossing his head back like an animal. Pulling out one of his handguns, he shot a Lieutenant dead and two servants. Then he holstered at, inhaled, and was once again the model of impassionate decision. Except for the hatred practically oozing from his eyes.

"This is it. I have had enough of these infidel shits." He waved a stenographer over from the general hustle around the airfield. "You. Take this down...

From His August Majesty Sacred Emperor Lucifer to the ENTIRE NATION OF VIZION:

Your actions have finally reached my personal limit. Coupled with the launch of an airstrike against an unknown target, this message is ludicrous and it is these broadcasts that are putting you in imminent danger of being systematically annihilated by several very powerful nations. Your 'intel' is dead wrong. The Generic Empire is innocent of your accusations. Even if the Empire had conspired to destroy you, I would stand by him. The Generians are our friends and brothers. I warn you, interfere with them and you will have only yourself to blame for the destruction of your country. We will fight and die, gladly, spilling all the blood in the Empire to defend any of our allies. I will not attack you. But if you so much as fart on the soil of one of my allies there WILL be war.

"There. That should do it. And I order all naval and air forces to enact the Minesweeper Protocol. These bastards will get more than they bargained for if they attack the Generians. Activate 3 more reserve Legions and prepare the Imperial Guardsmen. Tell the factories to begin wartime production. Have all artillery and armored divisions activate and get to their deployment points. Gentlemen, I expect to have the plans for Imperial action if the ViZionians attack us and the plan for if they attack the Generic Empire given to me ASAP.

"We will be prepared."

The villages occupying the land so close to the national boarder lines, had no idea what was going on, neither did they really want to know. It was not something that really mattered to them. Having never seen planes before they assumed they must be to do with something special happening at the capital city. A pure assumption infact, seeing as the capital of The Lightning Plains was due north. Adjacent to the route the planes were taking.
As a stark contrast of reality, the small governments within the main city were quite scared with what was to happen. As the message from ViZion had appeared they seemed almost stunned that anyone knew they existed. The nation, which called itself The Lightning Plains was hardly recognisable as a nation. The population were fragments of a society which had escaped a great war years before, a war which tore apart their former nation The Armed Republic of Arcane Lore. These we half holy people who had decided to wander until they found a suitable place to set up a new society, parted from technology and literally thrown back into the dark ages. The society settled within the boarder lands between great nations. A stretch on land which was now becoming famous for its unholy weather and almost constant storms.
The society had drifted apart so much that there were now dialects that other people, within the same nation, even failed to recognise. The capital city had a booming economy. The outlying villages were left as shacks. Yet the government did feel responsible for these people and sent envoys to warn them of the message with which themselves in the capital had been warned.

The capital was on full alert. It had a small military, it could hardly be called an army but it did have men who were willing to fight none the less for the society they had built themselves out of the rubble of a crushed empire. they tracked the 16 f-22s throught their airspace. not knowing who they belonged to, or where they were headed. The only hope the whoseever they were, didnt know The Lightning Plains existed, or had a particular grudge against them.

OOC:

So, what, I can only use MT forces here, or FT? Just asking, ViZion.

Oh, and nice plot so far, its taking twists and turns, and with Acigoo, its just rediculous now, lmao.

Oh, boy...I remember what happened last time with that stuff....

OOC: I would say both. I've worked alongside ViZion against Acigoo before and I'm FT. In fact, FT has been used quite a lot when dealing with Acigoo.

Recently developed Apache Helicopters and some recently bought SAM sites have been placed into action by the Federation. the SAM sites will be used to protect the 3 biggest cities in Neerdam against potential attack fighters and helicopters. The Apache's have been deployed to patrol the border.

Also, Neerdam is in developing AWAC's and Blackbirds too keep an eye out on sea.

High above the chaotic world below an SAF SR-71 travelled toward its target area. One of the engines lost thrust momentarilly, and the giant black craft yawed heavilly to the right. As the pilot corrected the problem the RCO in the rear seat of the jet saw the shape of the B-2s far below. only barely visible from this altitude. As the pilot corrected the course of his machine the bombers disappeared behind the aircraft. The RCO radioed the position of the aircraft back to Section 38, the SR-71 was somewhere over a nation apparently called "The Lightning Plains," wasn't hard to see why. Below storms swirled and lightning lit up the clouds. The SR-71 continued on its way.
Upon reaching its stand-off reacon position, over one hundred miles from imported ViZion, it began its mission. Surveying from horizon to horizon with its onboard systems it gathered intelligence on ViZionarian force deployment and numbers. The crew couldn't know it from their altitude, but the numbers were not reassuring. From what the sensors gathered it appeared that every single weapon in the ViZionarian armed forces was deployed. Unfortunately without current information on the ViZionarian military's strength, this couldn't be determined. A technician back at Section 38 summed up the numbers very well.
Technician: Sir, they've got a damn lot of stuff out there.
The SR-71's mission complete it lazilly returned to base at Mach 3.

A short, but to the point message was sent out from ViZion, once again not sent by President Maybury;

”We find these accusations completely ludicrous and lacking any factual evidence. These accusations are against part of the Borneric Empire of Uberness and thus are against our nation as well. We demand these completely farced allegations be withdrawn at once.

We should have expected bullshit like this from such a disgusting excuse for a nation. Your frequent wild mobilizations against undisclosed and imagined foes are a danger to the stability of your nation and other nations in the world. We can only hope that this time something happens and your waste of human life, or so called nation, collapses in on itself.”

A no-fly zone had now been fully enacted over Borman airspace. Any aircraft not of allied nationality will be shot down immediately, without warning. Any non allied ship entering Borman waters will have one warning on approach of Borman waters, after that, if they enter they will be sunk.

Loudspeakers throughout Borman blasted out messages and warning from the government. Militia and Military stations throughout the nation were distributing weapons to those few unarmed citizens. Brush up classes on military tactics, training and more were being offered to any who wanted them, and required for some.

The last commercial goods rolled off conveyer belts as factories started producing military equipment and necessities. The Forge Cities, usually working at skeleton crew and low efficiency were now at full crew and running at %100 efficiency producing military machines.

Foreign military bases located throughout the world were fully locked down as soldiers prepared for combat, only a few nations could truly be counted as allies. Others, may or may not be against Borman.

there was a sudden panic within the government buildings, the capital was buzzing, unsure as to what was really happening, it was safe to say that the cabinet itself was a little shakey. There was an air of paranoia about the place as they politicians sat down to talk... this was the first major event since the exodus after the first war which led to the creation of the nomadic people's society before finally settling down in what could only be described as, the worst place to settledown and start a society. however...

"Primeminister, Primeminister, Whose side are we actually on??" Asked a cournell of the capitals thinly streched defense force.

"Im not actually sure" replied the Primeminister. "it seems that we have been caught up in something we'd rather not be caught up in"

muttering and murmuring broke out through the cabinet.. they were sure the primeminister would atleast know or have some idea, as to why the entire nation had been put on high alert... not that the majority of the population understood what this meant.

"Cournell, do you have any idea what this Acigoo is meant to be?" asked the primeminister

"Cant say i've ever heard of it... cant say im particularly please about hearing about it, doesnt sound nice"

"And all these technical terms these other nations are using... we have the most limited and possibly the most low-tech intel there is available. no one seems to know what is really going on.."

the discussion lasted no longer before the primeminister and his cabinet formed an idea... locking on to all the airways the original message was broadcast on, the primeminister gave this appeal to the world.

"Fellow nations of the world... My name is Josephus, i am the primeminister of a nation called The Lightning Plains. We live in what can only be described as boarder lands. I would not be surprised if you before now were oblivious to our presence as a people or a nation. But the fact remains the threat and warning which all you recieved was also recieved by my government and our small population. We have no means of defending ourselves... to say the least we are a primitive society wrecked by an ageless war years previously and thrown back into theoretical dark ages... This is our plea... we are in need of help, technology, science. please help us defend our small nation, against a threat which you yourselves will need to defend against"

and like that, the rest of the world awoke the existance of a nation no one knew existed, on a plain no one thought habited.

The Sudden mobilization by Vizion has been recieved grimly in the Republic. The Belligerence of Vizion is noted and in response Psovian forces have been mobilized to assist any Nation that is victimized by an assult launched by Vizion. should a coalition be formed to eliminate the threat posed by Vizion's recent aggresiveness, Psovian forces will gladly assist in an invasion and occupation. Vizion has been added to our directory of dangerous regimes, and will remain there until these tensions have been resolved satisfactorably.

P.M.: BRILLIANT!... Send four spies in a submarine to their island...

(OOC: Does ViZion have a map...)
OOC: Yes, we do have a map... HOWEVER, incase you forgot, we're in total lock-down... no one in, no one out, all travel suspended.

http://www.freewebs.com/vizionpics/index.htm < Only look at the top 3 pics... they're the MT ViZion maps. The others are FT and SP maps.
Also, on the 2nd one, it's a bit hard to tell where I'm located. The countries w/ the blue dots are where my cities are, and the countries w/ their name underlined are the countries I'm at.

OOC:

So, what, I can only use MT forces here, or FT? Just asking, ViZion.

Oh, and nice plot so far, its taking twists and turns, and with Acigoo, its just rediculous now, lmao.

Oh, boy...I remember what happened last time with that stuff....
OOC: Some FT is fine... Phalanix is a FT nation as well... just don't get carried away, make it at least fair for the MT nations here... :)

And thanks... ya, the Acigoo definately makes thinks that much more interesting... lol Luckily this time we have guidelines... the third war, which has practically been ignored by alotta the older nations - my self included - was just a n00bfest after the first day or two. :( This one will prove to be far better.

OCC: Yup that third war never happened and yes I'm pure FT. Also these rules in place for the acigoo should keep GMing down and n00bish actions also. Besides you f-up (big time only) twice you're kicked form the thread.

2145 hours 67 miles off the Brittonian Empire's coast, a large ferry is travelling rapidly Northwards.

Naval Forces HQ, Empire City

'Sir, we have an unidentified vessel within the exclusion zone travelling North at several knots.'

'Have they been radioed and warned of the exclusion zone son?'

'Roger sir, 3 times, but we have had no response and they haven't adjusted their course'

'The orders are clear son, are there any vessels nearby to intercept'

'Negative sir, not for at least 15 minutes'

'That's too damn long, well launch a pair of Sea Harriers,arm them with Sea Spear anti-ship missiles'

' Understood sir, I'll have them scrambled now'

Tacoa Naval Aviation Base

2 Sea Harriers turbines begin to roar as they angle their jet nozzles downwards for a rapid vertical take-off. As the 2 jets roar of into the night, the groundcrew look on to the Empire's first hostile action of this incident, knowing it could lead to major conflict with whichever nation this vessel is from.

As the 2 Harriers intercept the vessel, they can see it's a large civilian ferry, however they cannot ID where the vessel is from, nor does it respond to the pilots radio calls.

' Alpha 1 command, this is eagle 2 0, eyes on vessel.....sir, it's a civvy ferry, confirm orders over'

'Eagle 2 0, strike, I say again strike over'

'Alpha 1 command, roger, out'

The first harrier roared low by the ferry flashing it's weapons in a final bid to deter the ferry from it's course. However the ferry ignores this. And the pair of aircraft roar off to come around for an attack run, locking on with their missiles, both aircraft fire off 2 missiles each. The missiles drop from their pylons and ignite, roaring off to their target, they strike the hull with dull explosions, the vessel creaks and shudders, and begins to keel over to the left. The pair of Harriers roar around for a gun run along the deck of the vessel, the aircraft let rip with fire from their 20mm cannon pods, the shells tear through the upper deck and the few passengers who have made it to the upper deck, the impact on human flesh is devastating with limbs being blown off and heads split apart. The ferry is now engulfed in flames and slowly sinking, repeated cannon and rocket runs by the harriers deny any passengers the chance of escaping, the risk of acigoo reaching the empire's shores cannot be taken, so no survivors must exist.

'Eagle 2 1 this is Eagle 2 0, tagret destroyed, RTB over'

'Eagle 2 0, roger, out.'

The pair of aircraft roar away from the ferry, where the bridge is now the only part visible, as all the rest has sunk, the bridge soon to follow, the scene one of utter destruction and carnage, with only debris and dead bodies left floating on the surface, fuel from the ferrys tanks blazes on the surface of the ocean, giving a dim glow in the setting sun.

OOC:

Brittonians....are you attacking ViZion, me, or someone else?

As the B-2's finally reached the first area, the head pilot of each of the two B-2's stealth bombers were to open the orders.

They intently read their orders, once, twice, three times, standard procedure, and then confirming it their co-pilot. Once confirmed, they cut all radio contact. They were off.

Off towards Generia.

In response to the attack launched by Vizion the following Psovian vessles have been deployed to Psovian waters. With the permission of the Generic Empire and her Allies the Psovian Foreign fleet will assist in the protection of Generian waters. With orders to intercept any Vizion vessles. The Psovian Foreign Legion eagerly awaits orders for deployment, and will assist in any coalition into Vizion.

Just before entiring hostile airspace, the B-2's and F-22's made a sharp turn, heading west. They continued to fly just outside of the hostile airspace, only one mile from the border.

Soon, their airtankers would arrive to refuel as they continued their vulture-like circulation around the hostile land.

Greetings Koiles!

I am in full agreement with my ally ViZion, on this matter. I remember when I was young, it was hard at first, but once you make some ties, its really alot of fun. I would greatly accept any help you are willing to give, as I would do the same for you. Let us move forward in peace. I am offering you an alliance for the time being, between our two peoples. Shall you take this offer? I look forward to your response.

The esteemed King of Koiles wishes to extend a hand of allegiance to the Government of ViZion. Being a small country, we cannot offer much, but any resources we have will be available to them, and we hope this conflict can be resolved quickly. In addition, we have a small task force of 1000 soldiers, special mission operatives, who excel at recon work that we freely offer ViZion's government for use.

((OOC: Alright, a few OOC things I think I'd better settle before we get too deep into anything, since I've determined that this incident will probably concern the CAD (my region/alliance for those unfamiliar with it). Number one, a map of the CAD. It's big, it's rough, it's blurry, but it's the most recent draft I have, so we'll make due. Questions can be referred to me.

Second off, regarding FT and Acigoo. 1) As a rule and general principle, I ignore future tech in RPs, not FT nations. Don't ask me why, it's just how I roll. Keep the star destroyers away from me, and we'll get along fine. This Acigoo business I don't like. I never have, and while I won't ignore it, just do me a personal favor and keep it out of combat if there ends up being a war with me.

Right, that about settles things. I'll post IC in a few moments, but I figured it was a good idea to get some of that out of the way beforehand.))

The Tokeras capital city Tok'ra caree, the presidential briefing room---

The president, his advisors, and the joint chiefs sat arround a rectangular table with the president at the far end, each of them had papers sprawled out infront of them. The room was quiet and dark except for the light rusteling of papers, the only light was that of the large TV screen that sat on the opposite side of the table as the president. The President then broke the silence "I have decided that we cannot ignore this growing threat any longer, I am orderinig the immediate mobilization of all Military forces, I want all available overseas forces evacuated, I want all nuclear missiles silos on high alert, and all nuclear capable bombers in the air, Bring the Satelight Defence Network online, We are now going to the second highest alert level, defcon 2"


A secret military bunker, somewhere in the tokera's northern mountain region---
The Vice president and congress have already arrived and are in the under ground command complex. The alarm sounded and the giant 4 foot thick blast doors began to slowly swing closed, the remaining guards ran into the tunnle. The Guards and staff boarded the elevator and headed for the level 5 command complex


the presidential executive bunker, somewhere in the southern tokera desert region---
"status report general?" asked the president
"Yes sir The entire military has been mobilized, all silos are operational, all planes are in the air, all overseas land forces have been brought back, the SDN (satelight defence ntework) has been activated, all military bases are now on defcon level 2, and all fleets are at sea."

Official Presidential announcement---
" Hello my fellow tokerans, I come to you with a urgent message, as you may know the nation of ViZion has recently mobilized and their entire nuclear arsenal has been activated. We cannot ignore this action any longer, They are now posing a therat to all nations. We in turn have now mobilized our entire military. We are urging you to stay inside at all times, essentials such as food, water, and other provisions will be supplied by the red cross and national guard. The SDN (satelight defence network) has been brought online and is preparing to shoot down any missles intended for our allies or The Tokera. We will keep you updated as the threat is further assesed, we prey that this threat will die out but if it dosent we will be ready, we will survive"

Imperial Generian Strategic Air Command (IGSAC) Monitoring Facility, Kreschnev Isle, the Inkanan Channel

“General Rubayic, sir, there’s something I think you should see.”

The grizzled old military man started from his light doze as the young officer tapped him on the shoulder. He looked around to get a sense of his surroundings, before slowly getting out of his chair, picking the smoldering half-cigar up that rested in an ashtray on his desk in front of him as he did so. He followed the young man out of his office into a room filled with monitoring screens and computer terminals of all shapes and sizes. The room, bathed in a yellow glow, was a whir of activity, as the monitors flicked and flashed while young men in neatly pressed uniforms scurried back and forth.

The subordinate officer led the general over to one of the larger screens, and gestured towards a cluster of what looked like 18 small red dots just off the eastern coast of the nation of Inkana.

“How many?”

“Eighteen, sir. Our early warning system picked them up a few hours ago as they crossed about a dozen kilometers from the Shenyangi shore, narrowly avoiding trespassing in her airspace. They then took a northwesterly course putting them just outside Inkanan airspace.”

“Presumed hostile?”

“Well, that’s just the thing. With all the buzz going around these past two days with the ViZionarions, we’ve been paying close attention to everything coming in and out of CAD space, and it’s been pretty quiet up until we picked this up. The signature’s pretty faint, and our radar wants to paint it as something small, but after watching the flight patterns for a few minutes, we decided that these probably aren’t seagulls.”

The General scoffed.

“Sea’s too damn rough that far south for gulls. Too late in the year.”

“Exactly, which is why we’ve been paying close attention to the flight pattern since. Whatever these things are, they know their boundaries cold, flying just along the edge of allied airspace so as not to prompt an interceptor flight. Their moving pretty fast too, faster than any jetliner would.”

“Could it be an allied patrol?”

“I checked with all the allied air controllers, and no one has a flight scheduled with that course.”

“That leaves only one logical conclusion. Get Imperial air patrols out there on standby. When those bastards cross the line, tell them to take the fuckers out.”

“Well, here’s the really strange part, sir. Just before they crossed into our airspace, they turned around and proceeded along the border.”

“Probably waiting for orders to attack. Alright, I want you to keep your eyes peeled. When those motherfuckers cross the line, you blow ‘em out of the sky. Same goes for anything else in CAD airspace. No warning shots. Just shoot it down.”

“Yes, sir. I’ll contact Imperial Military High Command and alert General Nys’ky.”

“Good. Take care of it.”

Official Imperial Statement, Issued Twenty Minutes Following ViZion’s Accusations of Generian Support for Terrorists Planning Attacks in ViZion-

The Empire is thoroughly and frankly disgusted by the accusations made against the Empire by President Maybury and his government, and see it as nothing more than vicious slander in a grand attempt to defame the Imperium. It is obvious that President Maybury does not want peace or anything resembling it, and seeks only to further destabilize the global situation with his raving, anti-Generian babble. Emperor Antonius has stated his abject horror at the accusations, and firmly denies that Generian had anything resembling supporting terrorist attacks in ViZion, and further reminds the ViZionarion government that the Generic Empire was once a member of the coalition formed to put a stop to the terrorist group known as Angelic Fury that preyed near exclusively on ViZionarion citizenry. We of the Imperial Government continue to be compounded by ViZionarion and allied belligerence directed against the Empire and her allies, and while we will not consider making a first strike, we will recognize the situation as it is, and make all due preparations for war, which at this point considering the state of President Maybury may very well be inevitable.

A travel advisory has been issued to all non CAD member state citizens warning against travel to Generia, and a no-fly zone established over Generian and allied airspace. Any aircraft found violating this zone will be shot down without warning. Any vessel found to be entering CAD territorial waters without authorization from the Emperor himself will be sunk without warning. Furthermore, all citizens from the nations of ViZion and Jarridia in Generia are being detained and will be deported as soon as preparations are made for transport. That is all. The Empire hopes desperately that the ViZionarion government will come to its senses, though we do not hold out breath.

----------

Port Belgrade, Generia

For the first time in nearly a dozen years, the call for full defensive mobilization had gone out, and as so many times before, the streets of the Imperial military port were filled with soldiers marching in full gear, Imperial regular infantry moving to the ships at harbor for deployment to the distant expanses of Generia and other allied shores, where they would dig in to defend the Empire to their last. Not a single heart fluttered with fear, for this was the way the men of the Empire had known for centuries. The shores of Generia had never been safe as the vicious eyes of foreign aggressors had always been trained with savage intent on them. Men had fought, died, and spilled blood on these shores for generations, and now the call to defend the proud land had once more gone out. Not a man among the millions doubted the inevitability of war.

ViZion was not a stable land, the Imperial government had made this clear before. It had been long believed that it was only a matter of time before the dam broke and the sounds of rifles and cannon picked up where the voices of the diplomats had long fallen silent. War was a natural progression, and it was a thing of storied tradition and modern politics alike. Generia had long known this, and many spent their lives preparing for war. Finally, the skills of many a soldier would be put to the test in glorious battle.

Only fifteen minutes after the last tanker left from filling the planes in midflight, a critical malfuction occuried on one of the fighters.

Shit... what the hell is going on?! wondered the pilot, 27 year old Jack Browning as the plane began to slowly begin going side to side, teetering.

"I'm having difficulty with Blue Bird," he reported to his fellow airmen over the radio.

Before the others could even answer, sparks began flying inside the cockpit as the radio went down. The onboard computer began malfuctioning as the plane began a sudden nose dive.

"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!" screamed Jack as the plane slammed into the water at such force that, upon impact, the entire plane exploded, detonating the nuclear missile, and sending the non-nuclear missiles all over in a fire-work display.

"What the fuck just happened?!" Screamed one of the other pilots.

The set of airplanes immediately began emergency maneuvers in the expectation that hostiles were incoming. After a couple moments, they were sure that no hostiles were in the area.

"We must be ready. Any hostile that enters our radar, be ready to fire upon. Lock when in range. Fire if fired upon." one of the pilots.

In the B-2 bombers, they knew the drill. If engaged, launch and drop all payload, as the enemy would force them into a war. Move quickly as possible to strike zones. The bombers were ready. The fighters were ready. The question was, what would happen next.

An emergency meeting was called by some top Generals and President Maybury, being briefed on the event that just transpired.

"What do we know thus far? Did they attack our people? Did one of our fighters disobey? What?!" yelled Maybury, demanding of an answer immediately.
"What we know was that the blast happened in international waters, just a half mile from their border. Our planes made standard proceeder emergency maneuvers, and they are back on course, exactly a mile from the border." reported General Mander.
"That is not an acceptable answer. I need to know exactly what happened, and the status of our fighters and bombers." Maybury rebutted.
"We are working on that, sir. We'll have your answer in..." General Mander was cut off by another General, who bust into the room.
"Sir, we've got the report. One of our fightered emmited a distress call to the other fighters. It appears he just ended his call when his plane began sparking and took a nose dive. No radio contact to him after that. The plane burst into flames upon striking the water, and the nuclear missile detonated." he reported.
"So, no attack upon us than?" inquired Maybury.
"No, sir. No attack what so ever." he answered.
"I want two more B-2's added, and a new group of 18 F-22's to replace the current set." Maybury ordered, then stood up and left the room, leaving the Generals so scramble to work.

~Lone Alliance Millitary Command~
"It's started," a someone said passing a note over to the current head officer. "Alright people, a half an hour ago a nuclear Weapon exploded in the international waters near the Generic empire. The lead General paused for a second then spoke. "I want the GustavX Transports to move out, recall the Navy to escort the transports, while we're at it, bring the Stonehenge Railgun prototype online!" "Yes sir, we only have a few rounds for them though." The assistant said. "So, if a FT gets in on it we'll have it keep the starships away from us not to mention the fact that any plane within 300 miles can be atomized by them" "Yes sir," came the reply. "We're in deep now." The general muttered.

“What the fuck was that!?”

Satellite footage on the monitor that had before been clear had showed a bright white flash, and now what looked like a massive white mushroom shaped cloud falling in on itself.

“We’re getting reports from fighters in the area, sir. They’re confirming what the satellite footage is showing. They think it was a fucking nuke.

“What the fuck?! Who fired?! Were they still in international waters?”

“Sir, none of our pilots say they fired. I’m checking with Inkanan patrols and ground sites. Nope. They saw it too, but they say sure as Hell didn’t shoot anything down. Last contact shows them in international waters. There was a nineteenth contact, a big bogey, looked like a refueling jet, and then it all whited out. Some ground sites are reporting electronics malfunctions, something similar to EMP interference.”

“Jesus F. Christ. It was a fucking nuke.”

General Rubayic stared blankly at the satellite footage.

“Sir, prior to the detonation, one of the bogeys went offline. I think it crashed. That might be what triggered the detonation.”

“Get High Command on the phone. Tell them what happened and get the information to the Emperor. Tell him we confirmed the flight is hostile and is nuclear armed.”

“Sir, the bogeys are holding position. Should I dispatch squadrons on an intercept course?”

“Negative. I want them primed and ready, but as of now those motherfuckers are still in international waters. I don’t want an international incident tagged to my head.”

“Sir, with all due respect, I’m pretty sure this already qualifies as an international incident.”

-------------

Bunker 17, the War Room, Below the White Citadel

Emperor Antonius sat with his hands folded on the table in front of him, a stern, yet composed expression on his face.

“I need to know exactly what happened, gentlemen.”

“Your grace, from what our forward observers are reporting, approximately fifteen minutes ago, a nuclear device, detonated a half mile from the boundaries of our Imperial territorial waters, just a few miles north of the tip of Inkana. IGSAC is saying it’s highly likely the explosion was the result of an aircraft malfunction that forced one of the unidentified aircraft into the sea, thus causing the detonation.”

“Do we know who the aircraft belong to?”

“Sir, I can’t tell you officially, but I’d be a goddamn overpaid individual if I couldn’t say my best guess was ViZion.”

Antonius nodded knowingly.

“Your grace, this also confirms our initial suspicions that the aircraft are indeed carrying nuclear payloads, and thus must be treated as a top priority threat.”

Antonius stared straight ahead, considering the information.

“There are also reports of a new group of foreign unidentified aircraft moving along a similar flight path used by the first. I suggest we treat these as equally hostile.”

Antonius replied now, speaking slowly so as to make sure every word was understood.

“General Nys’ky, I need you to tell me now with absolute honesty, your professional opinion on how to deal with this.”

“Sir, though we may not have the exact evidence, I can say to you now with absolute surety that those planes came here to make attacks on Generian soil, and as long as they’re in the air, the threat posed to our nation is extraordinary. I believe with absolute sincerity that if we delay interception, we bring ourselves preposterously close to the edge of nuclear war, and that we should shoot those things down, international waters or not.”

Antonius nodded.

“Gentlemen, the General is correct. I cannot allow this type of threat to encroach on my nation a moment longer. I want that patrol intercepted and eliminated immediately. Dispatch squadrons from our southern Inkanan airbase to intercept the second patrol. I want every squadron we have up and in the air ready to intercept additional patrols. General Nys’ky, alert IGSAC. Arm the nuclear arsenals and key in the coordinates. If ViZion or her allies initiate a nuclear attack, make sure we are prepared to reciprocate MAD. Prime the satellite defense networks to intercept any nuclear warheads, and alert the CAD regional air defense.”

Antonius looked around at the other faces at the table, solemn and steel eyed, like gargoyles.

“And get me a line to President Maybury.”

----------

In the bunkers across the nation, Imperial ICBMs were primed, the coordinates for ViZionarion cities and military installations locked in. Imperial bomber patrols took to the skies, nuclear payloads in their bellies. A dozen squadrons of Imperial GIF-1I interceptors screamed towards their fire positions north of Inkana, through the black velvet sky. Targeting satellites and orbiting AWACS craft pinpointed the coordinates of the enemy aircraft, and the missiles were locked on. As they reached the fire coordinates, the missiles streaked forward towards their targets at ungodly high speeds. While some squadrons turned to rearm, others continued to shoot forward in case some survived the destructive barrage. More squadrons followed to replace the others, taking no chances in allowing any of the enemy aircraft to escape or fire their payloads. Meanwhile, six more interceptor squadrons took off from bases in southern Inkana, and made way to intercept the additional enemy squadron moving to replace the first.

All the while, Emperor Antonius waited on the phone for President Maybury to answer.

With the explosion, President Maybury knew that the chances of war have more than doubled. He knew the stakes have been raised, and was expecting retaliation, even though the explosion was still in international waters.

An official message was quickly prepared and sent out;
We are giving our one and only warning to all nations. Should any ships, planes, or people try to enter ViZionarian territorial waters, airspace, or land, our forces have been given the order to completely destroy those forces, unless it is confirmed that they are allowed to enter via a previous request.

Also, if any hostiles fire upon us, we will launch a retaliatory attack against your nation. We warn you, do not engage us, and do not enter our territories. If you do, there will be a high price for your nation.

Moments later, the Generals were ordered to launch another 30 B-2's to set up a massive retalitory nuclear bombing against any nations who launch an all-out invasion-style attack upon ViZion, or declare total war.

ViZion also began to order an unknown quanitity of nuclear submarines and ships carrying nuclear missiles out of the Sea and into the oceans to prepare an assault against any nation that is not land-locked.

“What the fuck was that!?”

Satellite footage on the monitor that had before been clear had showed a bright white flash, and now what looked like a massive white mushroom shaped cloud falling in on itself.

“We’re getting reports from fighters in the area, sir. They’re confirming what the satellite footage is showing. They think it was a fucking nuke.

“What the fuck?! Who fired?! Were they still in international waters?”

“Sir, none of our pilots say they fired. I’m checking with Inkanan patrols and ground sites. Nope. They saw it too, but they say sure as Hell didn’t shoot anything down. Last contact shows them in international waters. There was a nineteenth contact, a big bogey, looked like a refueling jet, and then it all whited out. Some ground sites are reporting electronics malfunctions, something similar to EMP interference.”

“Jesus F. Christ. It was a fucking nuke.”

General Rubayic stared blankly at the satellite footage.

“Sir, prior to the detonation, one of the bogeys went offline. I think it crashed. That might be what triggered the detonation.”

“Get High Command on the phone. Tell them what happened and get the information to the Emperor. Tell him we confirmed the flight is hostile and is nuclear armed.”

“Sir, the bogeys are holding position. Should I dispatch squadrons on an intercept course?”

“Negative. I want them primed and ready, but as of now those motherfuckers are still in international waters. I don’t want an international incident tagged to my head.”

“Sir, with all due respect, I’m pretty sure this already qualifies as an international incident.”

Bunker 17, the War Room, Below the White Citadel

Emperor Antonius sat with his hands folded on the table in front of him, a stern, yet composed expression on his face.

“I need to know exactly what happened, gentlemen.”

“Your grace, from what our forward observers are reporting, approximately fifteen minutes ago, a nuclear device, detonated a half mile from the boundaries of our Imperial territorial waters, just a few miles north of the tip of Inkana. IGSAC is saying it’s highly likely the explosion was the result of an aircraft malfunction that forced one of the unidentified aircraft into the sea, thus causing the detonation.”

“Do we know who the aircraft belong to?”

“Sir, I can’t tell you officially, but I’d be a goddamn overpaid individual if I couldn’t say my best guess was ViZion.”

Antonius nodded knowingly.

“Your grace, this also confirms our initial suspicions that the aircraft are indeed carrying nuclear payloads, and thus must be treated as a top priority threat.”

Antonius stared straight ahead, considering the information.

“There are also reports of a new group of foreign unidentified aircraft moving along a similar flight path used by the first. I suggest we treat these as equally hostile.”

Antonius replied now, speaking slowly so as to make sure every word was understood.

“General Nys’ky, I need you to tell me now with absolute honesty, your professional opinion on how to deal with this.”

“Sir, though we may not have the exact evidence, I can say to you now with absolute surety that those planes came here to make attacks on Generian soil, and as long as they’re in the air, the threat posed to our nation is extraordinary. I believe with absolute sincerity that if we delay interception, we bring ourselves preposterously close to the edge of nuclear war, and that we should shoot those things down, international waters or not.”

Antonius nodded.

“Gentlemen, the General is correct. I cannot allow this type of threat to encroach on my nation a moment longer. I want that patrol intercepted and eliminated immediately. Dispatch squadrons from our southern Inkanan airbase to intercept the second patrol. I want every squadron we have up and in the air ready to intercept additional patrols. General Nys’ky, alert IGSAC. Arm the nuclear arsenals and key in the coordinates. If ViZion or her allies initiate a nuclear attack, make sure we are prepared to reciprocate MAD. Prime the satellite defense networks to intercept any nuclear warheads, and alert the CAD regional air defense.”

Antonius looked around at the other faces at the table, solemn and steel eyed, like gargoyles.

All the while, Emperor Antonius waited on the phone for President Maybury to answer.
"SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! LOCK! LOCK! LOCK!" screamed the pilot of the first B-2.
"Do it!"

Seconds later, as the two bombers crossed into hostile territory, they began dropping their payloads. Only three bombs made it out before the two bombers exploded.

The fighters locked onto anything hostile, rather it be land or fighter, launching everything they could. Most of the missiles were launched just before the jets began to go down, the majority screaming towards the engaging aircraft. Two nuclear missiles, however, were locked and headed towards the nearest land they could target.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"President! Emperor Antonius of Generia wants to speak to you!" yelled a CommOff. Just as he was connecting to Emperor Antonius, however, one of the Generals burst in. "Sir! It's started! Generia fired the first shots, taking down out bombers - while we were in international waters!"

President Maybury sat there, completely in shock. "Sir? Sir? Did you hear me?" the General asked.
"Yes. I heard you. Retaliation? What happened?" Maybury responded.
"We don't know if we got any shots out. We think they were retaliating due to the unknown blast."

President Maybury turned to the screen. "Emperor Antonius..."

"It's war time. There's no turning back. They attacked us in international waters - we were not outside our sovereignty. Prepare for war!" Yelled the General.

Within moments, word had spread across the entire ViZionarian military, and messages were being sent to the allies.

"Unless Generia can get out of this from Maybury - we've got our selves a big war. Nuclear."

Only 15 minutes followed, and citizens were being ordered into the underground networks. The majority had already gone underground. But now it was manditory.

To our valued allies and supporters;
Just moments ago, Generia launched an attack against some ViZionarian fighters and bombers in international airspace. We are officially declaring a state of emergency and are declaring war on Generia. We also ask of your support for this action. We were within our sovereign rights to fly in international airspace. Yet they attacked us.

Again, we call for your aid. Will you help us?

As the radar screens exploded with new fast moving blips, IGSAC systems also exploded to life. Interceptors and land based batteries alike opened fire with high speed countermeasures designed to intercept and vaporize incoming warheads. The Imperial satellite defense networks also sprung to life, targetting the missiles with laser and electronic pulse based systems, designed to jam or fry the on board computers of the missiles, forcing them to Earth. Several white flashes resounded over the dark waters.

On the ground, the bombs from the B-2s that had made it over the quiet northern shores fell to Earth, whistling in the stiff wind as their carriers exploded above them in dazzling displays of fire and steel.

Soldiers at the Saber Point installations watched dumbstruck as the horizon exploded in the distance. The bombs slammed into the Earth, and white flashes again lit up the sky, as towering clouds reached into the heavens. Several small villages were vaporized, and a light dust began to fall for many kilometers in every direction over the plains. Snow that had grown to depths of seven feet in the frozen northlands instantly evaporated and the dust and sand beneath fused into glass.

---------

Antonius heard the President's voice, and did his best to suppress any emotion he was feeling at the moment. He began to speak, slowly, in English with a thick Generian accent.

"Mr. President, I need you to explain to me what's going on tonight. Why were your aircraft carrying nuclear payloads to Generian territorial waters?"

Official Imperial Statement-

The Empire, in this last eleventh hour, once more desperately calls for reason to make a home in the minds of the ViZionarion government. ViZionarion aircraft were intercepted because they were known to be carrying nuclear payloads on a course to Generian territory. The nuclear detonation proved this, and the launch after interceptors were detected further proves their intentions. Generia is not asking for revenge, we are asking for reason. The Empire asks the ViZionarion government and her allies to pause on their path to war, to allow proper discussions to commence, and to give the world a well deserved explanation for their behavior today and tonight. Three nuclear detonations have already been detected on Generian soil. We do not know the death toll, but have ordered all Imperial civilians to take cover in shelters to prevent further loss of life. We ask once again that time be given for reasoned discussion, and that the leaders of the world remove their fingers from the nuclear triggers. Let us save the world from armageddon tonight. Please, we ask not for our own sake, but for the sake of humanity in the name of reasonable people. Let us not end the world for foolishness.

((OOC: I'm going to bed. Can we hold off on major developments until tomorrow morning?))

Antonius heard the President's voice, and did his best to suppress any emotion he was feeling at the moment. He began to speak, slowly, in English with a thick Generian accent.

"Mr. President, I need you to explain to me what's going on tonight. Why were your aircraft carrying nuclear payloads to Generian territorial waters?"
"Emperor, we were in international airspace, were we not? I know for a fact we were. They did not have orders to go into any hostile territory unless an offensive was launched against us. Which did happen.
"I need to ask you this. Why did you fire upon us? We were in our sovereign right. We were in international airspace. One fighter crashed, which triggered a nuclear explosion. The explosion was not even in your territorial waters."

((OOC: I'm going to bed. Can we hold off on major developments until tomorrow morning?))
OOC: Ya, no problem... and that'd be when others are on as well. Fine with me.

In response to Generia's official statement, the ViZionarian Government only offered a concise, to-the-point statement.

Tonight is not one we will forgot about any time soon. If things continue to go the way they are progressing, nuclear winter will soon covet this earth.

We offer the explination to the citizenship of this earth. Yes, our planes were carrying nuclear weapons. HOWEVER, unlike what Generia wishes you to believe, their ordered were not to enter hostile territory until an offensive was first launched upon ViZion or her allies. They were there purely as a retalitory force in the event Generia or others in the area launched an attack.

We had intel speaking of such an up-and-coming threat, which is why we have been in such a defensive and military mode in the recent days. To this point, it shows they were waiting for the right time to strike. We were within our sovereign right to fly in international airspace.

A malfunctioning F-22 crashed into international waters, where its nuclear missile detonated - Once again, in international waters. This was not an attack upon Generia or her allies. It was an airplane that crashed. Yet they claim these planes were "on a course Generian territory," when, if you looked at their course, they were incircling the area in international airspace.

We ask Generia so tell the world why they attacked us in international airspace when its course was not even headed in their direction, but rather around it.

PSN-S Earned in Blood POCS
The main view screen had oringaly been used for tracking all inbound vessels and fleets into Phalanix space but with word of ViZion launching anuclear attack the main screen had been shifted to a satalite image of the area as well as a projected result tracing ghost lines over the screen.
"Holy fuck....is that.."
"Shit they actualy nuked them.."
As the white plums began to collapse a message was beamed from the POCS to the Paladin Command & Controll Center (PCCC). The message was simply the video and the feed uplink.


Message to ViZion:
We are recalling all diplomatic personel in this time of war. We have watched your nuclear assault (and were surprised by it) and have deemed it that all Phalanixian personel are to be evacuated within the next day. We are alerting you of this so as we are able to quickly land a transport to pick them and all the equipement up form the embasy and to transport them to the POCS Earned in Blood. The transport will be launched in a hour and you are requested not to fire on it.
