"Refugee Transport Kerra Teli Mono 294 Please state the reason for your course Deviation," can be heard calling on the bridge of the Sanctuary, the ship containing 2 million Refugees which had just recently ended up in Novacom waters, "Rex we have to get back on course I don't like the look of those Battleships," A small skeletally thin figure in a large brown trenchcoat smelling of old leather, Marcus Dorrono First mate of the Sanctuary quivering in the cold as he addressed the captain of the ship Rex Sionokuk, the captain hadn't been the same after the stopover they'd taken a few weeks back on the coast before heading to the Novacom Isles but he was propably remembering being chased from the homeland, or at least he hoped it was that.

The ship shuddered as the engines barely able to keep the ship moving at what could barely be defined as a slow speed, attempted to accelerate. "No Marcus, you see that up ahead? Land and it doesn't look inhabbited we can rebuild our people and culture there safe from the outside world, I'm sure the Novans will let us have it," Rex almost sneered the last part, something wasn't right and Marcus could tell "No Rex they'll sink us no one knows what the Novacom Isles are made up of the best idea people have are a very basic map of landmasses and islands, whatever they use to block radar satalites and the like it's good. No we must continue onto Divango that Captain said that since we had approached them in the right way, whatever that means but anyway they might sink us if we continue and I don't like the look of the island you have us heading toward, please Rex I'm begging you go back to our original course before we're toast!" Marcus shudders again while looking out the cracked and grimy window at the mysterious island, as his heart weighs down with dread another transmission can be heard.


"Refugee Transport Kerra Teli Mono 294 Return to your original course now or we will sink your vessel" at the end of this can be heard a large crack as Rex is sent flying back whapping his head off the cold hard rusty deck, the steering console he was just working at a smoking ruin, groaning he tries to get up "well that's torn it now, we can't stop the engines and we sure as ain't gonna be able to turn round," Marcus stands gawking in shock and despair even moreso as Novacom Trimaran Battleships close in, he doesn't notice Rex having clambered to his feet punching a code into a small electronic keypad, he only notices as Rex slams the cover down and an almost imperceptible noise starts to go off, Marcus turns back to the window helplessly looking out

"Refugee Transport Kerra Teli Mono 294, This is your final warning you have 10 seconds to stop your engines or we will open fire," Marcus reaches into his trenchcoat and gets out a small bottle of whiskey drinking his last before oblivion, all of a Sudden explosions begin to rip through the vessel through the window huge bits of superstructure are propelled outwards sending his people flying, he wonders what is happeneing then is no more, the only thing that can be heard before he dies is the bellow, "For Admiral Kukonois!"

The Sacntuary vanishes beneath a collosal Mushroom cloud sneding the Novacom Territotorial Nautical forces several miles back as a huge calvacade of water rises up from the point of explosion, Geiger counters would be going wild as for the first time in the History of Novacom a Nuclear weapon has been detonated in Novacom territory, extremely strange for a country that claims to have no Nuclear weapons.....

News of the Explosion had swiftly reached the Novacom Council of Ministers who immediatly convened an emergency meeting, "Suprainister you will need to issue a statement about this, the international community will almost certainly stick their noses into this affair, after all Nuclear weapons do not just happen to detonate on a refugee ship," The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hugoro Sarestus calls from his desk in the chambers, and is met with numerous cheers.

"However Honourable Collegue we must first ascertain how a Nuclear weapon ended up in our Territorial waters first and why on earth it detonated on a Refugee vessel, if it had been anything else but what it actually was the situation could be ignored, however though REFUGEES were targetted meaning we're going to end up with the International community breathing down our necks about the situation regardless, I propose delaying any statements until we can find out how this happened." The Minister for Defence Ivono Kijis calls back across the high chamber of the Novacom Council of Ministers, he himself receiving several cheers after this statement.

In the center of the Chamber at his Podium the Suprainister Darrenel Tolion, looks up in positive despair, "regardless we will have to make a statement to do otherwise is suicide on a national level, as always several nations are touchy on the subject of refugees and their treatment, however though the proximity of the ship in question to Damocles when it exploded must also be investigated so Minister Ivono I commision you to investigate the series of events, Minister Hugoro you will draft a statement for worldwide transmission, however it is to state that what has happened as it happened and that there was no foul play on our behalf."

The Chamber is filled with a cheer of approval as all of the ministers rise and call, "In the Service of the Novacom Ideal, The Novacom People and the Novacom Destiny" before turning and filing out of the chamber, The SUprainister slumps back in his seat worried at the implications of this, whatever had happened it did not bode well for the future. After a short while he himself rises and leaves the chamber flanked by 4 Enforcers and heads up to his office to prepare for the aftermath of this debacle.

---Worldwide Broadcast---

In the middle of the screen can be seen the Novacom Suprainister flanked on either side by Novacom Flags and himself at a podium with the Novacom creest mounted on it.

"We of Novacom issue this statement in response to the recent and tragic events concerning the Refugee ship Sacntuary, we wish it known that our hearts go out to the families of the deceased and wish to make clear that Novacom had no role whatsoever in the destruction of the ship, Novacom once again reinforces it's position that we do not possess Nuclear Technology and wish that it be made clear although our ships were at the scene they did not attack the ship, Any assisstance in investigating this incident is most welcome."

The Suprainister smiles, putting a brave facade on his inner turmoil and worry at what could happen, The image would vanish to be replaced with a black screen with the Novacom flag in the center, underneath Novan Caligraphs appear in all their indecipherable mystery.
