The Lexa Doig International Airport is being hearlded by architects and artists alike as one of the most attractive, luxurious airports in the West Pacific. Built to offer fast, efficent ground service so that passengers and aircraft can take off and leave with as little effort as possible, in the most pleasent surroundings possible, Lexa Doig International strives to be the new golden standard in airport hubs for decades to come. Neither international airlines nor thier passengers shall not be disapointed by the ground facilities at LDI.

We Buy It Inc. would like to purchase 4 Super-Large Capacity Gates, 2 at both blue and red Concourses, and 8 international gates at A Concourse.

This should provide a cheaper way for citizens to visit the Democratic Colonies.

The total $1,560,000 will be wired upon confirmation.

The Lexa Doig International Airport is pleased that We Buy It Inc has made such a wise purchase. We at LDI will do our best to service We Buy It Inc with our ground facilities, and provide its passengers with an enjoyable airport experience.

We are currently having the directional signs for the We Buy It Inc gates made up however, and would like some clarification on what the preference would be for these directional signs. Would "We Buy It Inc" be sufficent, or would a title such as "airline" or "airways" be prefered? We wish to ensure that the passengers of We Buy It Inc are not confused in any manner as they look for thier gates.

- Commissioner Roxio Fontaine, Greater Passchendaele Airport Authority

We thank you for the speed response, time is money, and the money has been wired.

As for the matter of the signs, We Buy It Incorporated Airways would suffice also, for the paint scheme it should be black, red, and gold with gold being the color of the words, black as the back ground, and red as the board.

-Steven Miller, CEO of We Buy It Inc.


EDIT: OOC: Since you're a democracy would you be interest in helping, me and a few other democrativ nations in this RP: Death to Democracy (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=448631)

All directional signs for We Buy It Incorporated Airways will follow the colour scheme, as will digital logos and animated screens. Lexa Doig International Airport thanks you for the clarification.

Gate 17, International Concourse C

The line to board the waiting 747 was long, but moving briskly as the passengers had already passed one layer of security. Here, at the gate itself, a simple metal detector and perhaps a chemical swab sufficed - a bomb sniffing dog stood at the ready, but spent most of its time licking its paws as its master's feet as men and women passed it by. Both the dog and his master raised thier heads, however, as the metal detector's stern whoop caught thier attention.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it must be my keys," said the man who'd set off the metal detector sheepishly.

"That's alright," said a woman in an airline uniform. She smiled as the man deposited a pair of keys in a tray, but stopped him as he tried to exit the gate and board the waiting plane.

"Sir, please wait a moment," the woman said, her smile faltering.

"We need to have you go through the detector again."

"I - uh, we -" the man stammered, looking back at someone behind the metal detector as if he were asking for guidence. The dog handler began to speak tersely in his radio as another man stepped through the metal detector, ignoring its electrionic objections.

"Sir, get back behind the detector!" demanded the airline worker, her raised voice prompting the swift arrival of two armour-clad airport security officers, submachineguns carried in slings hanging infront of thier chests. Thier fingers inched towards thier triggers as neither of the two passengers paid the airline worker any attention.

"You there, stop!" shouted the airline worker as another man passed through the metal detector. The look of anger on the woman's face changed rapidly into one of terror however, as the man grabbed her, pressing a compact handgun to her temple. At the same time, the other two men attacked the dog handler, slashing him with knives as they grabbed his pistol from his holster.

"Put the gun down! Put the gun down!" shouted the pair of airport security officers as they raised thier submachineguns in unison, trying to centre thier sights on the man, the terrorist, behind the horrified airline worker.

While the two officers were distracted, a fourth man, the final member of the terror cell, stepped through the metal detector, a freshly assembled automatic pistol in his hands. The line of passengers scattered in panic as he opened fire on the distracted security officers.

The officers reeled backwards as bullets tore through thier flesh, tearing into thier unarmoured forearms. One of them triggered his submachinegun as the terrorists fire worked its way up to his exposed head - his UMP10 recoiled against his already lifeless hand as it fired, killing both the airline worker and the terrorist that hid behind her.

"Barbarian pig!" spat one of the terrorists as he picked up his fallen comrade's pistol.

"Come," shouted another, as other security personel raced towards Gate C17. He grabbed a chair as alarms began to wail throughout the airport. The doors of the connecting walkway that lead to the waiting aircraft began to close, powered by hidden mechanics installed for just this type of occasion, but were twarted as the furniture wielding terrorist jammed his chair between them, bracing them open.

"Let's go!" he shouted, only a moment before his body was jerked by dozens of explosions of blood sprouting from his back. He collapsed to the floor, struggling to breathe, as another of his fellows collapsed under withering gunfire. Both of the wounded and dying men could only watch as the last survivor of thier cell leapt through the braced open doors of the connecting walkway, barely avoiding the hail of bullets directed at him.

As the final member of the terror cell ran though the short walkway connecting the gate to the aircraft, he readied the pistol that he squeezed tightly in his hands. He raised it as he saw the hatchway of the waiting 747 being closed by a flight attendant, firing at her as he continued to charge at the aircraft. The flight attendant fell backwards, crimson spewing onto her uniform, as the final terrorist shoved the hatch open. Entering the aircraft at last, he grabbed a screaming child from his seat, holding his pistol to the boy's head as his eyes darted about wildly.

"Do as I say, and no one will get hurt!" he shouted at the terrified passengers.

He failed to notice the man in a dark suit following him as he made his way towards the cockpit.

"Out of my way!" the terrorist shouted at a flight attendant as he blocked the aisle with a snack cart.

"Out of the way!" repeated the terrorist, raising his pistol at the flight attendant. As he did so however, the man behind the terrorist drew his own pistol from under his suit jacket.

As the flight attendant complied with the terrorist, the man in the suit aimed his pistol at the back of the still oblivious terrorist's head.

"Good, now get out of my sight, you mongrel bastard!" shouted the terrorist as he swept his pistol back, intending to return it to its previous place next to his hostage's neck. Before he could complete this motion, however, his head seemed to erupt in an explosion of blood and bone, shooting human matter all over the aisle as his body snapped forwards, before collapsing onto the ground.

"Are you a bad guy?" wailed the little boy as he wiped the gore from his face.

"I'm a sky marshal," said the man in the suit, flicking off a piece of bone matter from his lapel.

"Attendant?" the sky marshal asked. "Attendant, if you're quite alright, could you give me some napkins or something along those lines? Our young friend here got a bit of our hijacker on him. I don't think his mother's going to be too pleased. Perhaps you could bump them up to first class?"

[OOC: LOL DC! One of the best bumps ever on NS. :D]

OOC: Thank you - I'm happy you enjoyed it. :)

If you want to change me on the list, I'm now the Metropolitan Republic of N Y C. Oh, and fantastic bumb btw!
