...have entered peace discussions.

In other news, the nation of Cruxgrad had an outbreak of artificial disease in the early hours of this morning.

The death toll is said to have consisted of 12 people, including the ambassador for Jenrak. Shortly after arrival in the nation of Cruxgrad, inside sources say that contact with the vessel was lost, likely due to infection of the crew.

Our source has confirmed those dead include the ambassador, the initial members of administrative staff, both pilots and three members of airport staff.

To prevent further infection, the airport was quarantined for several hours while the dead were burned and the area decontaminated. Those who are prone to distress or of a squeamish nature are advised to look away now.

[Footage of mass corpse pyre]

As of yet the virus is unidentified, however the Right Honourable Sir Voran, Minister for the Social Defense of Cruxgrad, gave us this statement: "While the virus and its source is unidentified, both we and Jenrak will be launching an investigation into how this course of events could have come about."

We were also assured that the virus was under control and there was no possibility of a future outbreak.

Now, for sports...

Cobra Global is extending an offer to Cruxgrad to donate scientists and other investigators to aid in your search for the cause, and possibly cure and prevention for the disease, we will also open up our labs and facilities to you in this effort...all for a fee perhaps.

Cobra Global Representative,

We thank you, on behalf of the Imperator, for your consideration. However Cruxgrad's primary industry lies in biological & chemical research. We are positive that, given time, we will be able to determine the source, especially after further discussions with the nation of Jenrak. We will likely make an international statement when the offending virus has been discerned, depending on whether or not we believe it to pose a future risk.

Faithfully,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

OOC: Not sure if this is acceptable, but seemed a good enough response...

GAN (Government Aprroved News)

Subsequent to the outbreak of a potentially pandemical virud in Cruxgrad, The blessed Chris has withdrawn all resident nationals, including the evacuation of the embassy, and requesitioned a cruise ship of blessed Chris origin to facilitate their return to a safe environment. However somewhat confused reports aboard the ship, currently sailing some 1500 kilometres from Port Solus, would imply that the virus has been carried onto the ship, and accordingly upwards of 2000 civilians are in severe danger of contracting the disease. Consequentially, the ship and all air within 5 kilometres proximity of it have been declared quarrantined, and entry is interdicted without express interdiction. At this juncture we are unable to proffer further information beyond the fact that the government is currently considring numerous courses of action, and intends to act decisively within the following 24 hours.

(OOC: Fine by me, I was hoping for some kind of political incident.)

Here at the Telegrafnoe Agentstvo Sovetskogo Soiuza (Telegraph Agency of the Sovie Union), tensions are running high as we try and get coverage for the new viral outbreak. Questions are being thrown around just as much as rumors. An insider within the Kremlin stated that the Soviet Union may be ceasing all in-coming and out-going flights to Cruxgrad until further notice.

A travel advisery has already been issued for all Soviet citizens going to Cruxgrad. Also, the Soviet Militsiya (Police) have been given enough executive leway as to detain Soviet citizens who have just returned from Cruxgrad for medical testing in order to keep the spread of the disease from coming about. Then, earlier this morning, reports from the Blessed Chris were begining to sprout up that another incident may have occured causing an even worse outbreak than that which occured in Cruxograd. This has also caused a mild distrust to grow within certain regions of the Soviet Union about the Cruxian administration's ability to contain and control emergency situations within their own country. It is unknown as of now whether the Politburo will be contacting the Cruxian administration about their lack of security and emergency situation. Please stay tuned to TASS for up-to-date information onf the 'Cruxy Virus'.

Mondoth, having one of the worlds foremost Communicable disease research centers requests that a small research team be allowed to enter the country and research the disease, while we are sure that you can handle any investegation we wish to obtain working samples of the disease to hopefull affect a countermeasure incase it somehow makes it to Mondoth.

Official Political Statement

We have determined that the virus was infact 'Night Rabies', a creation of Jenrak laboratories. We believe that it was brought in by a member of the ambassadorial staff, or else member of the crew. We are currently in discussions with Jenrak as to how such an event could have come to pass, fortunately we believe that we have stemmed the virus before it could escape.

Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

The Government of the Empire of Tajiri_san wish to extend our sympathies To the families of those whom have died in the incident in the nation of Cruxgrad. We wish to offer what ever assistance our nation may no matter how small it may be.
However we have now closed all ports to traffic coming into the country coming from or originating in Cruxgrad and Jendrak and stopped all Travel to those countries that was not enroute before ports were closed except for any medical personnel that may be asked to go to help in the case of a major outbreak, as a percaution against an outbreak of this virus within our own nation, furthermore all person having arrived from either nation with in the last 72 hours are currently being found by our own Biohazard containment specialists and taken to Tajirigrad central medical facility to be quarentined and tested for Night Rabies as will all those arriving in flights or ships from the affected countries which have been diverted to militarty facilities to be met by specialist teams so as to try to contain any possible contanimation in the country.

Mondoth Representative,

If your country has such desire to research the disease, perhaps you could purchase some samples from the Jenrak Bio-chemicals Store? The only samples we believe not to have been destroyed currently reside in our own laboratories and are being tested by our own teams.

Faithfully,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

TO: Cruxgrad
FROM: Armed Forces of The Holy Empire of Asgarnieu, Disease Department
SUBJECT: Cruxgrad Outbreak



Dear Cruxgrad,

The Disease Department of The Armed Forces of The Holy Empire of Asgarnieu would like to pledge 100 of our best scientists to help you and your peoples in the combat against this unknown disease, and to stop the spread and future outbreaks of this disease. We will be arriving in your ports within the next 36 Hours, until then, good luck. God Bless.


Respectfully,

Thomas H. Christopher
Director of The Armed Forces of The Holy Empire of Asgarnieu's Disease Department

Mr. Christopher,

While my Government appreciates this gesture, we have discovered that it is known as 'Night Rabies', one of the bio-chemicals available in Jenrak. Once we can open communications with Jenrak we shall hopefully begin a duel investigation into how it arose.

If you wish to aid further with our research and possible creation of antidote, you may offer a donation to one of our major biological and chemical research departments. You may still send your science team to aid our researchers, but we would like to point out they will be subject to our laws for immigrants.

Sincerely,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Effective immeidately, even though Leafanistan is a mostly closed country, any and all Cruxgrad transports by land, air, or sea moving toward Leafanistan with intent to enter will be warned away and if the warning is not noticed, said transport will be destroyed. Then all the bodies will be burned. This is non-negotiaable.

Representative for Leafanistan,

The Holy Imperator is curious as to what is to happen to the several thousand people you have in our country at this moment carrying out our order and whether all supplies have been delivered to your people.

Additionally, he is curious how long this is to last.

Faithfully,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Dear sir,

We will donate our 100 men, and $100,000,000,000.00 USD to your cause. Remind you all, we are a neutral party, and if a war breaks out over this incident, we will not choose sides...

Mr. Christopher,

Our Holy Imperator tells us he believes his spirit is lifted by your generosity, something that gladens us all. We thank you on his behalf for your most generous offer and will immediatly increase the level of research being carried out. We would appreciate your men going to the Vaustgrad International Airport where they will be transported under a high-security escort for their personal safety.

The Imperator would also like to assure you that Cruxgrad has no intentions of war, fully aware that mistakes can easily be made, especially when dealing with nations who deal with such chemicals. Cruxgrad hopes to maintain its peaceful status.

Warmest Regards,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Due to Mondothian Law, and the current state existing between Mondoth and Jenrak at this time, Purchasing any of Jenraks wares is impossible. We would appreciate your cooperation in this.

Representative,

We would be willing to trade a sample of the disease we managed to extract, along with some of our preliminary results in exchange for a reasonable sum to further our own research.

Faithfully,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

what sum did you have in mind?

Representative,

As it is more along the lines of a charitable donation, the amount is entirely up to you, but in the interest of reaching a common goal we would hope for something with atleast seven zero's. We do not ask for a sum as substantial as was given by Asgarnieu, but something that could aid research.

Faithfully,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Mr Christopher,

Would you be interested in having an embassy within our borders, we welcome you to do so in return for your very generous donation. The embassy is pre-built and is highly defended by several teams of the SDC. Embassies may include;

-No more than 500 administrative staff.
-No more than 40 armed security staff.
-No more than 5 unarmed, armoured cars.
-No more than 1 armed, unarmoured car.

Sincerely,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

The nation of Mondoth expresses interest in exchanging embassies with Cruxgrad
Our embassy detail is;
1 ambassador
52 embassy staff
24 armed Marine Guards (48 G-11 AR, 48 PG-11 side Arm and 2 SG-12 DMR)
1 armed helicopter
2 unarmed Helicopter
1 SWARM vehicle (SUV with remotely controled weapons turret)

can be modified for individual nations policies

Mondoth accepts embassies with the following rules
No more than 50 armed guards
No more than 2 armed helicopters
No more than 4 armed vehicles
No highly explosive weapons (Flash-bangs and similar weapons are allowed) or Main Battle Tanks please

Also, Mondoth invites applicable nations to join the Mutual Aid Pact of Less Powerful Nations (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=8807728)

BTW: Would an APC without weapons be considered an armoured but unarmed car? If so, ditch the swarm vehicle, instead there will be two unarmed APCs

(Did you mean Cruxgrad or is this post in the wrong place? lol)

Its a form letter, I was busy modifying it for you rpolicies and forgot to change the name. I'll fix it

To:Cruxgrad
From: Pesident Of San Landeo
Subject: Viral Outbreak

The citezens of the Principality Of San Landeo have pubicly expressed there feelings about the death of your citizens and I'd like you to know personelly that we would like to help in anyway possible. We are curently in the midst of finding scientists in our populace who have experience in this field of virases. We will send them over ASAP on a Military transport plane.

Sincerly
President Cole

Mondoth Representative,

Your request for an embassy detail of;
1 ambassador
52 embassy staff
24 armed Marine Guards (48 G-11 AR, 48 PG-11 side Arm and 2 SG-12 DMR)
2 unarmed Helicopter
1 SWARM vehicle (SUV with remotely controled weapons turret)

is accepted. Note we do not allow any armed aircraft within our borders for any reason at the moment, though this may well change at a later date. APC's are simply classed as armoured cars.

Your ambassador is granted diplomatic immunity. We will provide you with a heliport as an act of goodwill.

Regarding your embassy rules;

For our embassy we require atleast four watch-towers with spot-lights and MG's along with eletrified fencing. Would it be possible to increase our armed security two one hundred and one [101]? This would cover one full Corp of our SDC (Social Defense Corps) and put them at fully capability should the need for action arise.

Requested Embassy Detail;

Ambassador with 577 administrative staff and 13 maintenance staff.
101 SDC's (Armed personnel, going to put up a link for them later).
2 MI-6 armed helicopters.
3 BMP-2 APC's.
1 modified BMP-2 C-APC.

Faithfully,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

President Cole,

We thank you for your generous offer, but the biological and chemical research teams of Cruxgrad are already very highly skilled. Again, we thank you on behalf of the Imperator, but with the added researchers already dispatched we feel anymore would be a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth.

Sincerely,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

The nation of 255070625 wishes to provide Cruxgrad with a location to store and test the said virus, to prevent further outbreaks. In exchange we wish to have access to the reasearch being done. We will be willing to share this research with other nations as becomes available.

Sir Ivan Zachis,
We fully agree and understand we have called back our transport plane and we wish you and your scientists the best of luck.

Sincerly,
President Cole

Representative of 255070625,

While we thank you for the offer, if Cruxgrad has one commodity to spare above all others, it is barren land. Currently we have begun such tests as are neccesary and would not like to risk an outbreak of this particularly virulent disease in your population.

If you wish for such an offer to go ahead, we can give you our preliminary results and, when we find an antidote, would be willing to sell it to your nation to prevent any attacks by the substance.

Faithfully,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Hello, welcome to this special extended edition of TASS. In a few moments, Comrade Troskin is expected to make a speech regarding the situation between Cruxgrad and Jenrak. Several days ago, Jenrak applied for an embassy within the Soviet Union and was accepted. With the news that Jenrak has been actively using biological weaponry and spreading it, it is uncertain whether Soviet-Jenrak relations will stre- Oh, okay, here is to you live the speech by Comrade Troskin:

"Roughly three hours ago, I was briefed on the up-to-date situation in Cruxgrad. First of all, I would like to send my sympathies to the families of those lost by such a lack of safety and security. Secondly, I would like to state that the Political Bureau, Supreme Soviet, and Central Soviet [of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union] are in a hard debate on whether deportation of Jenrak ambassadors or 'consulate arrest' will be the route to take in order to secure the safety of the Soviet people.

"It is surprising to me to such a degree that the Jenrak administration has allowed their safety precautions to fall to. If it is true that an ambassador from Jenrak was carrying this, 'Night Rabies', then every Soviet citizen may be in danger. As of now, all transportation to and from Jenrak from all Soviet Socialist Republics and insular areas has ceased. Any Soviet citizens attempting to leave to Jenrak will be arrested and detained for upto one week, and vice versa.

"The Politburo is planning on sending scientists from the Public Health and Military Affairs Commissariat to Jenrak and Cruxgrad if neccessary to be sure that this situation will never happen again. I am hoping that both Jenrak and Cruxgrad will be willing and co-operative in our efforts to create a safe enviroment for the citizens of earth to live in.

"On a more personal note, I would like to display my disgust for whomever is responsible for the spread of this vile disease. It would bring me great pleasure to see this individual brought to trial in a Proletarian Court within the Soviet Union and punished for his crimes against humanity. However, this fine country is not a fascist state like our former Western enemy. In any case, the Political Bureau and Committee For State Security [KGB] will be conducting an extensive investigation on the incident. Now, good evening, comrades, and may you all sleep well knowing you are being protected. Good night."

That was just a speech made by Comrade Troskin in the Kremlin. Please stay tuned to TASS as we keep you up-to-date on the 'Night Rabies Incident'.

Thank you for your consideration. We await such a cure. I wish you and your people the best of luck. But we wish to extend some form of aid, perhaps you may create an embassy within our borders.

We will accept a Cruxgrad embassy under the following terms:

1. A limit of 60 ebassy officials
2. A limit of 25 armed guards
3. A limit of 10 armed and/or armoured vehicles

We hope you accept our offer.

Representative for 255070625,

We thank you for your offer of an embassy, but with such low numbers of officials and guards, we do not think such an arrangement would be possible. Is there a possibility of multiplying the number of officials and guards by 3 and 4 respectively? That would make us more content in our position as our ambassadors are some of our most highly respected people and, in some cases, relatives of the Imperial bloodline.

If it pleases you, you too may open an embassy in our lands under the aforementioned restrictions. All ambassadors recieve diplomatic immunity.

Faithfully,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

(OOC: Going to bed, if people could avoid do anything major such as demanding research notes, samples or declaring war, I would appreciate it if you could save it for the morning or else declare and be extremely patient :rolleyes: Cheers, Phil.)

Cruxgrad, I accept your terms for the establishment of two embassies, one in 255070625, and one in Cruxgrad. I hope this will lead to a bright future for both our nations.

Thank you for accepting our embassy, the helicopters weapons will be removed and a pair of APCs will be stationed within the embassy as well.

as for your embassy: While understanding of most nations security and diplomatic concerns, we must enquire as to the purpose of establishing an embassy with 577 staff and a full corps size defense force? we do not have much trade or relations and even if we did it would not justify a 577 staff mission. as for the number of troops, if you want to establish a military garrisson on Mondothian soil it must be reciprocated by allowing a Mondothian Military garrison in your nation, 101 defensive staff is simply to much to ask for an embassy garrison, We assure you that our national security is top of the line and fully capable of dealing with the kinds of threats that one hundred soldiers would be needed to deal with.

Mondoth Representative,

The reason for such a high detail and a full Corp of SDC is that the ambassador will be Krieg Himmler, nehpew of the Great and Dreaded Imperator, and as such we feel a higher amount of security would be appropriate. I am sure, were a member of your royal family (If you have one), to come go to foreign soils as an ambassador, that you would opt for maximum security possible. We can reduce the number of staff to 317 if you would rather.

Faithfully,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.


Representative for 255070625,

We would like to dispatch the following ambassadorial detail;

Ambassador with 149 administrative staff and 11 maintenance staff.
101 SDC's.
2 T-62's.
4 BMP-2 APC's.
1 modified BMP-2 C-APC.

Faithfully,
Sir Ivan Zachis,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

To the people of Cruxgrad
To the people of Cruxgrad are no doubt devastated by the horrendous viral outbreak. Next time, we shall have more competent pilots to carry our ambassadors, but the prospect of such a chemical aboard our plane seems skeptical, and possibly we could have had our planes mixed up, as we were intent on arriving the ambassadors in certain planes, but it seems to be a military class plane seemingly masqueraded as a Jenrakian diplomacy vehicle.

However, we wish taht we send over a batallion of specially trained chemical troops who are professionals at dealing with this kind of apathetic event. We ourselves have had heinous chemical outbursts, but have successfully quelled them without problem.

We also suggest that other nations wishing to involve themselves that they turn back; it would simply be a waste of time and money, whether they find a cure or not to battle it, as we already have made one for this disease. We urge that all people affected are kept away from dark spots, stay in the light, and kept in basements fully locked until we arrive.

-Arcarum Dreskisk

To The Soviet Union
We are sorry if your ideals are unlike ours. I believe that we however, have a military embassy, not a political one. Whether you arrest or detain them, or blame them, we do not care, but wish that they are sent back to Jenrak safely, as they are Siren class soldiers, and we could use their abilities, if you wish to break off ties with Jenrak.

As for your diplomats in our nation, we will release them safely, and send them back to your empire as quick and safely as possible, free of charge.

OOC: The reason I'm asking that the countries back off from the outbreak is that I'm hoping not that anyone develops a cure, thus allowing a public anti-virus against the disease. If there is a foreign cure developed, then I will have to modify the disease, which could result in millions worth more of testing. So yah.

We appreciate your offer of a clean-up team and await them eagerly. The confirmation of the containment of the disease is of paramount importance and we hope to clear this whole incident up.

Warm Regards,

Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Commissariat Of Foreign Affairs

As of now, the Jenrak envoy and embassy staff are not under arrest of any sorts. It was being - and still is - being debated by the Political Bureau and Moscow Duma whether it is neccessary for the safety of the Soviet Union. We also do not wish to break off ties with the nation of Jenrak. However, we are questioning why you would arrest our Soviet ambassadors considering we did not release a virus and have done nothing. That, my distant neighbor, would be illegal imprisonment and be infringing on several rights; not to mention, it could cause the Politburo to re-enact the Worldwide Mir Initiative (The actual foreign policy act within the Soviet Union, not the alliance) or force Comrade Troskin to commit an Executive Order. The Soviet Union do not wish for this to occur, as I'm sure neither do my Jenrakian friends.

- Alexai Vladimirmorov, Commissar Of Foreign Affairs

We assure you that we will take the suecurity of such an important ambassador with the utmost seriousness. However, unless you restrict the number of armed personnel at your embassy we can not allow it to be placed within our borders as an embassy, in light of your situation we are willing to increase the maximum allowable security detail to 65 guards, beyond that you will have to rely on our security for protection.

- Alexai Vladimirmorov, Commissar Of Foreign Affairs

While the virus release is mainly our fault (due to the fact that the virus originated from within our borders), we will not hold your members as long as you do not hold our members, being the fact that the people in the embassy in your nation had not done anything wrong, we believe.

As for Cruxgrad, the team will be arriving in a few moments shortly. We hope that the precautions we have given you are followed. Otherwise this will take a much longer time than we expected.

Commissariat Of Foreign Affairs

The staff of the Jenrak embassy were going to be held under 'consulate arrest' while the Commissariat of Public Health did tests on all staff to insure that further spread of the disease would be contained. They were not going to be held for criminal prosecution - nor will they be - unless they commit a crime against the people of the Soviet Union.
