The Emperor sat in his chair looking out the gap in the curtains covering the balcony window. He was to address the people who, of which many were gathered below in the courtyard. It would be televised to the whole nation and it would be one of the most important moments of his life.

In his nearly 43 years of being emperor he had seen many things and had lead his people through civil war, rebellions at the outskirts and even in the heart of the empire, but in all the time in which he had been in power he had never had to lead his country into a full scale war in which they were the aggresors. This to him seemed dishonourable and against the Manuith codecs set by Manu in the begining.

It was however out of his hands as the government had made there decision and the council had agreed that the emperor was holding the people of Aust in an Iron grip and they must be set free or we would be not upholding the values of democracy and freedom which were also written in the codecs.

"Its time", whispered Denburn, the head of the Shentaoh," they're waitinfg for you".
The Emperor got up and brushed off the people who came over to help him walk, then he graciously walked forward out onto the balcony where there was a great uproar from the crowds below which was only silenced when the Emperor raised his hand.

It all went silent.

"My people, I am here today to tell inform you off the news that we are at war".

There was a collective gasp from the people below followed by a great wave of noise coming from them which, once again, was silenced by the Emperor.

" The Emperor of Aust has for too long held his people in an Iron grip. He shown his oppresive nature and has made his people worship him as a God. We cannot by the codecs allow this too continue and your government and High Council by majority vote have decided to overthrow this fiend. I ask you not as your ruler but as your friend to support us and our troops in this modern day crusade for justice, truth and democracy. So I ask you, are you with me?"

The crowd roared with all they might and passion "Yes!"

"The by Manu it is done and blessed"

Again the crowd roared, " By Manu!"

The Emperor turned and made his way back to the command room where he was to be breached on the situation. Worried and Anxious he thought " I only hope we aren't making a big mistake"

Kjata spinned in her chair, her body covered in red runes, in deep meditation.

"They are coming to stop us..."

She spoke words as if in a deep trance. Kjata was the leader of the growing cult of loyal followers. She sat upon her throne in Filo. Sensing impeding conflict is what Kjata almost does best, but Kjata does best is create chaos!

"Minion, call my agents. We must prepare for war and launch a first strike!"

Omega and Centurio; the code-names for the elite hackers, walked into the throne room. Cloaked in black wool robes and a dark tunic the hooded two entered.

"My dark mistress, how can Omega serve you today?" said the left figure, in a noble way, giving the sense of high class.

"What can we destroy today for you Almight Kjata!" shrieked the right, his demonic laugh pervaded the room after he spoke.

The powerful Kjata smirked and glared at them, her faithful servants were always amusing to her. Such power they had, but she had the greatest power of all; to turn their hate and emotions on her targets! They were loyal and lived for chaos and oppression, just as the ones who had oppressed them before.

"Nothing for now, but prepare for cyberwarfare."

"As you wish my mistress"

"They won't know what hit them when the time comes! EHEHEHEHEHE!"

Then the two figures left the throne room, leaving Kjata back in the darkness, her favorite setting for planning the downfall of nations.

OOC: good good now we need Aust and everyone else to get here then we can get going

The emporer sat on the golden throne, staring at the blizzerd that scurryed past the oval window of the palace, 10,000 feets abover the ground. The control pad by his had beeped red and he pressed a button, swivling the chair as he did so. A plasma screen television in the wall rose up and he saw the last of a ABC news report. An elderly man was stood there adressing the populance of a nation.

"...Emperor of Aust has for too long held his people in an Iron grip. He shown his oppresive nature and has made his people worship him as a God. We cannot by the codecs allow this too continue and your government and High Council by majority vote have decided to overthrow this fiend..."the Tv burbled and then it switched over to a woman speaking quickly and hurredly he switched it off.

He sat in thought using the computer database to bring up numebrs and statistics about Austs military strength compared to it's attacker. the numebrs pleased him. A buzzer sound and he pressed another button. "Yes, Kathya?"

"O Lord of the air, Lord High general Hammod and Prince Matthew here to see you." The emporer nodded,

"send them in." The oval doors of the office unlocked and slid sideways and the geeneral and Prince entered they bowed low.

"Sire." The emporer nodded and with a gloved hand motioned to the to raise.

"general, cousain, what news do you bring me of our enermy, this Grand Master Mark."

"Little as of yet, O light of the water." the gerneral responded, "We havn't had a U2 flyover yet but I've renforced the Bambinio strip as per Section B of the Frinton plan."

"Continue. tell me when you find somthing." The general nodded and bowed as did Matthew. they backed out of the room.

The emproer went to find his armour.

The two elite hackers began searching the internet for Grand master Mark and the nations status and weak points. Such information would be needed before any cyberwarfare could take place.

Captain Hammond, otherwise known as eagle 1, looked out of the window of his F-16 he was in charge of the first wave of planes to attack the capital. He was nervous as he always was but looking forward to the challange and ready to do his bit for the empire

~Eagle 1 this is Eagle 2, ready for attack. We have visual~
~Good, remeber aim for the sky scrapers and the security will be tight so well need devasive manouvers to the extreme~
~Copy that, target in sight. Awaiting orders~
~Fire at will~

With that the squadron flew off at full power and started the attack. The first shots were fired and they most surely wouldn't be the last.

OOC: Kjata cyberwarfare is a bit iffy it would be interesting to use it in a situation to shut down communications but with the security in GMM it could be seen as godmodding so could you keep it too the minimum or it may interfere with more important issues.

(Your nation is better prepared for such things then the current MT world anyways, so nothing major can happen, just propaganda and messing up soldier systems. A real threat would be the computer viruses that can only be transmitted through DIRECT contact, though Kjata hasn't came up with a delivery system yet to even pull of such a thing.)

Outside Filo a small jet patrols the Kjata border, recent conflicts with the Japanese Government has lead to a surge of military conflicts along the Miyazaki border which distracts Kjata from the new conflict just starting.

OOC: give me a chance to respond to your planes approching! I'd have seen 'em on radar and they would have to pass through the Bambinio strip to get to Aust City.

IC: Swarms of Hounds took off the target the enermy fighters, the Austian airforce was the pride of it's country and thousands upon thousands on planes, even old F-15's and outdated, privitly owned fighters took off egar to do battle.

AA guns began to fire quickly.

OOC: Sorry for crap post gotta go!

The recon beacons had transmitted something for the first time in 20 years. And Tetra didn't like their output.

OOC: This is a computer log, so forgive the strange text. * = answers, () = questions.

"Why, I don't believe this!" shouted Tetra, annoyed by such a transgression.

"What action, sir?" replied Fen'Ris Mor'Kai, leader of Special Forces.

"Follow the recommendations of the report."

"Yes sir. What are TP's, anyway?"

"Teleport Pods. Used to transport 1 soldier from anywhere to the Vorpal Blade. I installed 1,000 of them."

"Ingenious. They will be ready at once."

"Excellent. But, we MUST remain neutral AT ALL COSTS! Until, at least, we are attacked."

"Orders understood, sir." Fen'Ris cut the comm channel. Tetra began a message to GMM and Aust.

TCP UMBRA: Coded message from The Fallen Races to Grand Master Mark, CC: Aust

Both of you, TFR will not tolerate incursions on our land. If either of you violate the Rules of Engagement, or intrude on our land, we will see to it that your nation does not survive this war as the victor. - The Tetra-Assassin, Lord of the Protectorate.

We do not intend to go near your land we are trying to overthrow the oppresive emperor of Aust. We would appreciate help though we do not expect any if you intend to remain neutral.

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

Kjata has sent more forces and using the power outages across Japan to capture the entire Kyushu island. Most of the military forces surrendered easily and supported Kjata. With a firm land mass to build on Kjata begins to use Kyushu's factories and hilly land to hide and build up.

Los Hablos Golf Course, 0900 hours

Field Marshall Fugia enjoyed playing golf. It was one of the moments he could relax from his tough job. He was head of the Armed Forces of Warta Endor and effectively controlled the country. He was just finishing the Fifth hole when a emergency golf cart drove on the green. Fugia looked up disturbed and walked towards the cart. A young major jumped out of the cart and said:

Major:"Sorry to bother you on your free day, but these reports have been coming in for the last couple of hours about Aust and Grand Master Mark."
Fugia:"Hmpppf! It better be something good, i was on the lead...*reads the frontpage of the top file*...Damnit! Shove up, I'm taking a lift! I need to get to HQ ASAP!"

The golfcart raced for the clubhouse where a gouvernmental helicopter was waiting on the helipad. Fugia jumped in the chopper and they set off for HQ. They reached it in fifteen minutes and the Field Marshall stormed towards the war room. When he entered all looked up and they barely managed to hold in their laughter.

Fugia:"Well, what's so funny! *looks down and sees he's still in golfclothes* Well nevermind you pricks! What is the situation with the GMM-Aust war?"
General Warinski:"Grand master Mark has declared a statement in which they said that Aust will be liberated from their oppresive regime and that they will use their full power to manege this. They take it serious, the emperor himself made the statement in front of a crowd. And it was broadcasted on national TV."
Fugia:"And has Aust reacted yet?"
General Warinski:"No sir. But we expect they'll react soon. And it's also sure tha...

The general was interrupted by the sudden noise of the Telex machine. It was only used in emergencies so everybody looked nervous to the machine. Fugia walked towards it and read the message. He paled and tore the paper from the machine.

Fugia:"God heavens...We have reports from our representatives in Aust that unknown forces have attack the capital. Several explosions were heared..."
Admiral Dongers:"The devil's arse! It could be a massacre! The capital is full of skyscrapers, if those are brought down, hundreds of thousands could be killed!"
Fugia:"I want the First Amphibious Taskforce to prepare to leave. I will make a statement in an hour. Admiral, how're the trials with the new ship?"
Admiral Dongers:"The Galadon is running trials now sir, she proves to be an excellent ship."
Fugia:"I'll contact Silver Sky for three other ships. I want total dominance on the sea."
Admiral:"Yes sir."

The Field Marshall then left the room and headed for his own office and changed his clothes. He began to make a speech and drank a cup of coffee. An hour later, the following message was presented to the world.

To all of Warta Endor and the world.

We condemn the acts of agression of Grand Master Mark against Aust. No matter how just the case, war is not the first way to chose. We will remain neutral for the moment but the First Amphibious Taksforce escorted by the Third Detachment of the First Fleet. The Taskforce will remain in international waters untill we think the moment to intervene has come. We call upon both Grand master mark to remain calm and talk to each other. We will host a conference in Galadon (the capital). Remain calm and give peace a chance.

Field Marshall Fugia, Warta Endor

Senate Chamber, Tor Caladonn, Caladonn
The Senate Chamber of Caladonn, resplendent with the hundreds of glowing discs harbouring the seats of the senators, was quiet as Regolon Deravar, the Jeriath Province Senator, and leader of the Military Party, got to his feet. He was a barrel-chested, middle-aged man, known as a firebrand and imperialist, who took any chance he could to use Caladonn's armed forces. However, although he had a reputation as a warmonger, some regarded him with respect due to his loyalty to Caladonn's allies.

"My fellow senators of the glorious nation of Caladonn," he began, as his voice boomed out across the vast hall. "I come before you today with grave news. Our ally, the Empire of Aust, has been attacked by the foul nation of Grand master Mark. I demand retribution! Too long have the mighty forces of Caladonn remained idle to the sufferings of her allies! Too long have our brave soldiers recieved their combat experience from simulators! Not since the Collistat conflict of many years past has Caladonn used her forces for the cause of good! I submit to the Senate that we declare war on the vile nation of Grand master Mark!"

Regolon Deravar sat down, amid cheers and whisperings. "Order!" shouted Aramil, the Chancellor. "We will now hear from Senator Quiliar, Leader of the Conservative Party."

Quiliar got to his feet in a dignified manner, and brushed out his robes. He was a thin, balding man, very old, and with a reputation for cunning. He was known for being willing to turn on supporters, for other gain. He said, in an aged but nonetheless powerful voice, "I heartily disagree with Senator Deravar. Our ally Aust has fallen into decadence, ruled by a cunning potentate who seeks to attain deification. This cannot continue! In the power bestowed on us by the Constitution of our founders, we must protect ourselves and the civilised world from the depredations of evil empires such as this. It is with the greatest reluctance, therefore, that I move for a declaration of war against the Empire of Aust"

This provoked even more noise, and required Chancellor Aramil to exert all his power to restore the order of the Senate. Before Quiliar had even sat down, though, a young man jumped to his feet. This was Senator Oranoth, the new, energetic leader of the Liberal Party.

"No more war!" he shouted, continuing, "The fact that Caladonn has not been in a war in a long time is a GOOD thing! Wars kill our people! I'm sure that Senators Deravar and Quiliar have not lost their loved ones to conflict! We need to stay out of this war! Who CARES what Aust and Grand master Mark are doing to each other?"

With this, the Senate became so out of order that Chancellor Aramil adjourned for the day, with nothing having been decided. Perhaps the way the war was going would decide the outcome the next day.

OOC: You are free to send delegates or letters to the Senate urging them to join your side.

Dominance of the sea....not if Kjata has anything to say about it!

Kjata called for the ARTEMIS AI Naval Strike Force.

A collection of recreational boats, mostly Jet Ski's with RPGs on them which were unmanned Search and Destroy attack vessels. Moving at over 80 mph these speedy boats with an added fuel tank (where the driver should sit) are capable of searching the seas for up to three hours at a time to kill a target.

These cheap vessels cost only $45,000 each and since most of these were stolen from the boat yards they were upgraded for only $15,000 a piece.

Total in Service: 45

To: The Caladonn senate

I am writing to you too ask of your help in this endeavour. We are peacefull people but we are bound by the Manucian Codecs to defend democracy and freedom. It is out of our hands, and we do not wish to kill inocent people only overthrow this tyrant and free his people but there is fierce resistance and this hard so we need all the help we can get.

Your's awaiting your reply,
Emperor Angelus Gramil Manu III

ooc. Kjatja, the meeting in which Fugia wished for sea dominance was secret. I doubt you have any spys in high command :D

To; Senate of Caladonn
From; the nation of Warta Endor, represented by Field Marshall Fugia

Hail!

We heard of your verbal struggle in your senate. Warta Endor itself holds a neutral stance in this matter. We urge you to not throw yourself in a bitter and brutal war. Instead we propose an alliance in which both nations promise only to join this war if one of the two nations is attacked or seriously threatened. Please reply this proposal as soon as possible.

sincerely,
Field Marshall Fugia

ooc. if this alliance is made, we could RP that one of the nations is attacked in an incident (for example, my Taskforce is attacked by mistake, attacking nation thought it was the enemy).

OOC: Check the last part of your post, you clearly announce your heading to the seas. I'm Kjata not Kjatja! :)

Tor Caladonn, Caladonn
Although Senator Quilian was happy to see the letter from Grand master Mark, some, even in the Conservative Party, called for the defensive neutrality proposed by Warta Endor. The Liberal Party, realising that since they only held one-third of the votes, could not forestall a war, decided to go with Warta Endor's proposal also. This, combines with a few votes from the Militarists, gave the Senate the slim majority needed to ratify Warta Endor's alliance. After much haggling over the wording, this letter was sent from Chancellor Aramil to the Field Marshall of Warta Endor:

TO: The nation of Warta Endor, represented by Field Marshall Fugia
FROM: SCP (The Senate and the Caladonnian People)

Greetings, Esteemed Marshall!

We are grateful that another reasonable nation exists in these turbulent times. The SCP will gladly accept your treaty of mutual benefit. This seems like a worthy safeguard to the bloody war engulfing our area. We wish you the best of luck.

Most Sincerely,
Aramil, Chancellor of the Caladonnian Senate

The office of High President Knightley had just started to calm down as the early evening approached, when the hotline to Grand Master Mark began to ring. Cursing, the president snatched up the phone. His face paled as the grim news was related to him by Grand Master Mark's Emperor. The call was brief, as both leaders were busy. President Knightley stabbed the call buttons that told army leaders to move to the war-time command bunker, and then thumbed the intercom. "Ms. Casteel, arrange for an immeadiate audience with the parliament. I have important news." Three hours later, all the parliament members were assembled, and President Knightley took the podium. "Ladies and Gentlemen, our great friend and ally Grand Master Mark is at war. They are attempting to liberate Aust from Aust's overlord. While the legality of our joining this war may be debatable, the value of our alliance with Grand Master Mark is not. I call upon you to declare war upon Aust and authorize war powers for me. Thank you." The applause was deafening for Tichang's popular and charismatic leader. Within another hour, the Army of Tichang's Air and Sea branches were on high alert, and the Land branch was preparing for deployment.

By now Kjata's forces combed the seas around Kyushu island endlessly, ready to attack anything...

A computer displayed the kill, the cloaked Omega smirked.

"Wonderful, a civilian ship, appears like that's 2400 lives lost!" Omega mused, "Let's put this in the paper right away!"

The cloaked figure moves over to another labtop and begins typing like crazy, speaking as he goes.

"2400 Civilians Murdered!"

"The ship was attacked by a rogue ship of Tichang. The ship was attacked and the resulting explosion instantly destroyed the ship. Kjata condemns these attacks and urges people to stay clear of the Kjatan Waters as unidentified rogue ships of Tichang comb the waters, planning to murder more ships. The Nemo barely escaped one such attack a few moments ago, off the coast of Filo. These attacks are expected to persist as civilian and military vessels are 'target practice' for the nation of Tichang."

Omega spun around in his chair and laughed, pressing send, it was spread across the world.

Bump...

ooc. Sorry! But I wasn't talking about sea dominance there :P .

Dear Ally,

I'm glad that I can call you an ally. If you agree, we could ratify the treaty in Tor Caladonn or in Carad Galadon (my capital). Warta Endorean naval vessels will move towards the area of conflict to moniter the situation. We at first intended to also send in the marines, but we finally decided not to do so. If a conflict erupts in which we will be drawn we'll send the Marines immediately.

greetings and well wishes,
Field Marshall Fugia

Once the message was send the report of an attack near Kjata Major came in. War room was shocked, why would Tichang attack a ship in Kjatian major waters?

Fugia:"This is outrageous! More than 2000 dead!"
Admiral Dongers:"I advice that all shipment to Kjata to be canceled. All flights, ships etc. We should also get all our citizens out of Kjata Major. It's just in case."
Fugia:"Right, send a message to our citizens and Kjata Major that we'll evacuate our civillians."
Admiral Dongers:"Yes sir!"

OOC: can you please note GMM that to get to my capital you have 2 routesa 1) To fly over Guffingford/the rest of IA and get them involved or B) To fly over the bambinio Corrador.

TO: Field Marshall Fugia
FROM: Chancellor Aramil representing the SCP

Dear Ally,
I too believe that this alliance was a very wise decision. I have consulted the Senate, and they have affirmed that we agree to ratify the treaty in either location. Caladonn has also decided to despatch three Carrier Groups under the command of Admiral Telcar to oversee the area. We also may decide to commit ground troops, but will also definitely use our carrier-based airforce if necessary, and to assist you.

I also wish to bring to your attention the alarming reports from Kjata Major. Caladonn is severing all ties with the state for the time being, suspicious of the origin of this attack, and whether it was actually perpetrated by Tichang. I wish to hear your views on this matter.

Most sincerely,
Aramil, Chancellor of the Caladonnian Senate

Three Carrier Groups were despatched to Aust. The forces of each group consist of:

1 Poseidon-Class Heavy Carrier
3 Isha-Class AEGIS Missile Cruisers
5 Nike-Class Destroyers
10 Hermes-Class Frigates

OOC: Sorry Aust didn't know that before the post. Is there any way I could get a map of your nation so as to not make any further mistakes. It doesn't have to be detailed just be able to give me a picture of where im going. I won't post untill then unless there is a wya I can, just say there is a battle of britain like dogfights going on above your capital and there has been damage to buildings even possible collapse of them etc.

OOC: I don't have a map but basically it's the center of antartica-very cold. It's winter so it's darkness all day and theres one route to the frozen sea, the Bambinio corrador0- 10 miles wide and 100 miles long. the corradors basically one big port/city wioth plenty of AA batterys and just about my entire defensive system. ffrom the corrador there the Chipstow line (A line of forts) from when i sued to be at war with Bambinio.

Then your into Aust which is basically a load of mountains with every flat space occupied by a town/city and villages clinging to the mountian side.

ooc. sounds pretty hard to invade to me!

OOC: Used to be harder, the Bambinio ocrrodor makes invasion possable-before then only local nations could attack me (And did) so i cocnored that so i ahd a trade route.

The Tetra-Assassin pulled out his map of Aust, gathered by the recon beacons. "Why, this is a one-sided war if I ever saw one. Begin preparations to fly the Vorpal Blade through the Bambino Corridor!" he shouted to a hidden com-link.

"Order's understood, sir!"

The Vorpal Blade was a helicopter, created with stealth in mind. It had space for one element of the TFR special forces (10 units.) It also had run-silent technology, so that it could not be heard, seen on radar, or seen unless it was right on top of you. The 1st TFR-SO element loaded up in the Vorpal Blade. It was ready for war.

OOC: The teleport pods metioned earlier dont exist. It was an error (i thought we were FT.)

OOC: That sounds a bit FT-a stelth 'choper?

OOC: No, it actually does exist. In the novel 'Deception Point', which the author says is all truth (technology-wise), a chopper like the Vorpal Blade is used to assassinate a government official.

OOC: Thats Tom Clancy isn't it? I wouldn't trust anything of his. Isn't most of it set in the future?

OOC: It's a Dan Brown novel, and it appears to be set in the modern-day. But let's get GMM's ruling on it.

ooc. GMM is the mod, he should decide. Didn't the US had a program to develop a stealth chopper a few years back? (Comanche program) I thought it was canceled due to poor results or too high costs. And GMM seems to be a bit...dead.

OOC: He has exhibited that in the past, but then astonishingly resurrected himself. As for a stealth chopper, that seems complicated, and probably PMT. The whole concept of stealth is at odds with helicopter rotors.

OOC: Well, I'm back, and everything's dead.

OOC: Same here-one last bump.
