North Shores District, Honimishu, Pschycotic Pschycos

It was a very cool autumn morning in northern district of Pschycotic Pschycos capitol, Honimishu. The morning commute had recently ended, and there had been no delays, and no accidents save for an old lady running over a squirrel. With these conditions, there was no wonder why the traffic cams for news stations were shocked to find that the area surrounding General Kamikaze Square was severly congested with traffic. This square had eight intersecting roads and a clear view all the way down to the waterfront and Honimishu Castle, the governmental headquarters, in the water beyond. The square was also home to several government buildings for various departments. The cause for this congestion was soon obvious. A mass of people, a couple thousand strong, had congregated in the middle of it, beginning a protest.

The nation's homosexual populace had grown increasingly uneasy during the past few years, oppressed with a ban on marriage, and on all public displays of affection in general. Now, tempers had boiled over for some of them in the form of an angry protest. Cheering and yelling crowds had surrounded the statue of General Kamikaze, the nation's founder, bearing signs reading, "Stop the hate!" or "He's gay, I'm gay, who cares!?" or "Equality for all!!" Upon the statue were two men in the midst of giving a rousing speech.
"The straight people of this nation have considerably more rights than we!"
"They can marry and display their love for each other in public! No one but the government seems to have a problem with this!!"
"We can not let ourselves be oppressed by this scum of a government any longer! The time to let us have our freedoms to be ourselves is NOW!"
The crowd began cheering. The two leaders could not have seen this go any better. But their next action overstepped the line. A lot. The pair turned toward the sight of the castle and stuck up their middle fingers, following up by kissing each other.

9:30 AM,
North Shores District Police Dispatch

The phones were ringing off the hook inside the police disptch center with protests of this demonstration. As news of this last event was discovered, action was taken,
"This is Dispatch. We have a Situation Red, Code 84583. SWAT and Riot Control requested. 2 SAH-4 Gunships authorized." This was an actual transcript of the orders. The government would crack down on this protest harshely.

9:35 AM,
General Kamikaze Square

The crowd was in a frenzy with the boldness of the actions of their two leaders. They had done the unthinkable and spoken out about the government. The mass of people had forgotten that such actions were forbidden. Quitely, guards from the government buildings had formed barriers in front of their offices, guns pointing into the crowd, armor glistening in the morning sun.

The pair on the statue were celebrating their actions as well, even thinking that they had won. As they went to hug, a deep throbbing permeated the square. Pebbles on the statue began vibrating, shaking right off the base. The two stopped, indeed the whole demonstration, and looked down toward the castle. Suddenly, an SAH-4 helicopter gunship rounded a corner near the shore and began speeding up the broad street. As it came, the side doors openned and 20mm guns slid out each side, manned by a gunner. A second one followed it. Both stopped and hovered over the thunderstruck crowd. A voice came over the loud speakers, "ATTENTION, ATTENTION! YOU ARE ALL UNDER ARREST FOR PROTESTING THE GOVERNMENT, HOMOSEXUAL ACTS IN PUBLIC, AND DISRESPECT TOWARD THE GOVERNMNET." While the crowd was busy with the first two choppers, several black V-22 Ospreys had moved into place, dropping nearly a hundered SWAT members at each entrance. Now, they had set up a barrier, using cars as cover, preparing a stand. All at once, panic broke out and the crowd made a run in any direction. They were met with solid SWAT resistance. Then, a shot from the midst of the crowd rang out, and an officer fell, bleeding from the face. Hell broke loose. The SWAT members, with their high-powered rifles fired randomly into the crowd, and many people began to fall. The two SAH-4s had seen the general vicinity of the shot, and poured 20mm fire into the area, killing at least a hundred alone. Tear gas poured into the mass, disablling several scores. One sector, under overwhelming pressure, caved in, opening an escape route through which several hundred poured. Throughout the whole incident, the gunfire had not slackened. Now, as the smoke cleared, the damage could be seen. At least 300 lay dead, and twice that moaning in pain from the tear gas.

Throughout the remainder of the day, the square remained closed off as Ospery after Ospery hauled prisoners off to jails or carted off the bodies to be buried uncerimoniously and without honor.

6:05 ICNN news excerpt:

"...and the punishment for those captured is likely to be at least life in prison. Now, for sports....."
===========================================
After cleaning, the square would likely be reopened in a day or two. No squirrels were harmed throughout the whole incident.

Official Encrypted Communiqué from the Holy Imperium of Banduria

The Holy Imperium applauds the actions of Pschycotic Pschycos. Protests against the government are immoral and lead to anarchy, disorder, and disrespect, destroying the whole social caste. In addition, the outlawing of homosexuality is a necessary path to ensuring the morality of the nation. You have our full support if any so-called 'liberal' communist nations are foolish enough to condemn you for these righteous actions.

Miyamoto,

The Czar would like to express his condolences for the dishonour that the Shogun has faced, and a national monument defaced.

While it is unfortunate that the casualties were high, the Czar condones the course of action taken, as it was the appropriate method of suppression.

We thank you both, Derscon and Civitas Americae, for your support. Dishonor is a serious offense to us, more so than protesting the government or public displays of homosexual affection. The punishment of the protestors captured will be either life in prison or excecution.

God Bless,

***Official Government Reaction***
To: Pschycotic Pschycos
From: Emperor Galen Q. Leotardia

As this may be my last few days in office, I will make the following reaction for my government. Although we do not agree with the actions taken by the Government of Pschycotic Pschycos, we believe that it is not up to us to dictate internal policy to a nation. As thus, we will have a neutral stance in this matter. We feel though that the person or persons who were behind the brutal assault on the SWAT officer that lay critically wounded (or dead, were not quite sure what his medical condition is at the moment) be punished to the full extent of the law within the Nation of Pschycotic Pschycos.

May whatever God (or supernatural being) you believe in smile down upon your nation.

Honimishu Castle, Honimishu, Pschycotic Pschycos

The immense, white castle stood perched on a rock island in the center of a bay jutting into the sprawling city. The afternoon sun reflected intensely off the rock walls. The grounds were strewn about with cherry blossoms that had been tossed in the light marine breeze. Naval traffic in the area had been moderate with fishing vessels, tour boats, and pleasure craft going by. Out in the distance, shrouded by the haze on the horizon, a cruise vessel was coming into port, probably in the north part of the South Beach District. Inside the castle's paper and wood halls (reinforced with gundanium alloy), officials were dealing with a most bizzare dillema; a cruise ship had oddly set sail a day early. The calls had just come in, and the staff was trying to figure it out before any harm could come about. Unfortunatly, they'd be too late.

As the government was racing to figure out what was going on, the cruise ship had left port, and was coming along side the castle and stopped. What the guards on the walls saw was unbelievable. The hijacking story was completely false. The ship was full of...protestors! Through binoculars, the captain of the guard read the signs. It was the usual array of "Democracy now!" or "More Freedoms NOW", etc..., etc... The captain sent up a message to the shogun's office via radio,
"Shogun-sama. We have a situation. The hijacked cruise ship seems to be full of protestors!" the captain said.
"What? Are you sure?"
"Look out your window." Shogun Himura looked out the windows of his office and surveyed the sight. It looked like nearly 10,000 people were packed on board. Their mood was distasteful to say the least. Fingers were being flipped everywhere, there was yelling, and other such activities. "What action should we take, Your Excellency?"
Shogun Himura pondered for a few moments before replying, "Warn them off. IF they don't, you know what to do."
"Sir!" The captain hung up the radio and clicked on the loudspeakers, "ATTENTION! ATTENTION! UNIDENTIFIED SHIP, YOU ARE IN FORBBIDEN WATERS! YOU ARE TO EXIT IMMEDIATELY!!" Quite fell on the scenes.

Then, the cruise ship erupted in jeers, insults, and even laughter. Repulsive language reached the guardsmens' ears, and they even heard "You government sh**s can kiss our A**es!!!" The captain had enough. "Prepare the cannons!"

2:00 PM
Honimishu Castle Defenses

The order was relayed to the batteries inside the rock structure. Slowly, massive stone sections were moved back hydraulicly and 20" barrels extended out in dual-batteries, four along this side of the face. A stunned silence fell upon the ship. Whispers broke along the ship's rails, "they won't really shoot, it's a bluff." "They can't do that!" "300 people two days ago was one thing, but this is impossible." They watched as the captain of the guard mounted a high position on the wall, his traditional samurai armor glistening in the sunlight. He held his right arm straight up and surveyed the men at the battery controls placed along the wall. For a moment that lasted for eternity, he stood there. Then, he shot his arm forward and yelled, "FIRE!" The cannons in the rock beneath him blasted forth in fire and noise. The side of the cruise ship erupted in fire and smoke, being hit with eight 20" shells. The captain could even see several shots exit the other side of the ship. Body parts flew into the air, along with several whole ones. Instantly, the ship began listing. The captain drew his hand up again, and shot it forward yelling "FIRE!" More blasts issued forth. Due to the ship's list, these shots entered almost through the top. They penetrated, and one or two found the fuel supplys, detonating the entire ship in a massive fire ball. Machine guns mounted on the walls began chewing up the remaining wreckage, making sure the job was complete.

The captain radioed back up to the Shogun again, "sir, all hands have gone down with the ship. At least 10,000 people have died."
"Thank you, captain. Good work."
=======================================
It would take several days to clean up the mess, yet remarkably, no seagulls had been caught in the fire.

Thank you for your response. The SWAT officer was unfortunately confirmed KIA on-site. It is believed that the perpetrator was caught in the resulting gunfire thanks to quick responses. We acknowledge your respect of our national sovereignty and thank you for it. May you have a great last days in office.

Official Communiqué from the Holy Imperium of Banduria

While we note that your action against the cruise ship was justified, why not do as the Holy Imperium does: round up all dissenters and political prisoners and use them as a slave workforce, or better, in times of war inject them with 'Invincibility' stimulants, such as variants of hashish and prozium, and send them onto the battlefield to defeat your enemies and rid yourselves of these prisoners in one stroke?

If you wish we can sell you some of our 'Invincibility' assorted stimulants at $40 per dose.

The People's Republic of Ankhmet must condemn thiis digusting act of opression. Your murder of your people speaks of a lack of responsibility, and your inability to cover it up is a sign of the crumbling of your fascist, nazi-sympathising, backwards little government.
The People's government has long had suspicions of your involvement in genocide across the world, and consider this to be evidence that this is the case.

"We have grown weary of watching the arrogant, self-deluded nation of Ankhmet attempt to police the planet and stamp out national sovereignty. Any attack on Pschycotic Pschycos by Ankhmet will be regarded as an act of imperialist aggression, and will be met by the full force of the RB military."

Administrative Response to Ankhmeti Comment

It's amusing how Ankhmet delivers itself to be the saviour of liberties and the beacon of Communism, and it so accuses our ally of oppression which Ankhmet itself is deliberating the execution of 14000 facists for their way of thinking! Is that not oppression in its finest? We strongly suggest Ankhmet to shut its mouth.

Official Message from the Holy Imperium of Banduria

The Imperium will stand by its allies in Roach-Busters. Ankhmet's totalitarian policies under the guise of communism, and its imperialism disguised as justice, are intolerable and hypocritical. The Holy Imperium will not hesitate to use all military force to meet Ankhmet if that nation seeks to attack Pschycotic Pschycos.

This is our only warning.

It is merely the medicated state of mind that is present in all lackeys of the capitalist states from seeing the wisdom of our actions clearly. If you could read, you would see in our statement that the courts are deliberating wether or not to have them sent to punishment divisions, or forced labour to make amends for their slaughter of the brave 117th Red Army Division.

Unfortunately, your entire argument has been undermined by your own estatic messages to other countries stating your eager awaiting for their full execution, with we quote 'a bullet to the head'. Now, really, we suggest Ankhmet just drop all accusations and crawl back to the hole in which they came from.

It is unfortunate that your c********t haze cannot be lifted, as you would see that you are wrong in all you say. Ankhmet is right. The People will it, therefore Ankhmet cannot be wrong.

It is merely my personal wish that the c********t, f*****t, i*********tic scum of the Ankhmeti Defense Force be executed. Do not confuse my will with the Will of the People.

Barbarians? It will be a sad day when restoring justice by destroying democracy and freedom, the harbingers of anarchy and instability, is considered a barbarian action. The Imperium finds these actions entirely reasonable and these measures were aptly merited by the situation at hand.

You must be the one joking with us. If you give people freedom, they will want more, and so on until you are allowing them so much freedom the nation becomes an anarchy and the government loses all voice. First of all, the people are not intelligent or informed enough to make decisions for an entire nation. With too much freedom one will have apathy, no laws will ever succeed in passing, and the nation will become ruled by mobs and biker gangs, and become open to invasion from outside. In addition, if you give people the freedom to think, they may begin plotting to overthrow the government, and the resulting civil wars may result in the destruction of the country. I could go on and on...

We find our system of government to be cheaper, simpler, and better in every way. In addition, as we know what's best for the people anyway, we can protect them adequately from criminals, communists, invaders, and other enemies of the Imperium.

To: All Involved
From: Emperor Galen Q. Leotardia

It is not up to the world to dictate how a leadership should run their nation. We are not in charge of their nation, they were picked by their civilians or born to the position and that is how their nation works. It is not up to the international community to dictate internal policy to their nation. War is not the way, listen to the people who said so.

Imperial Response

We would like to sincerely thank all those who wave supported us. For our entire history, we have provided the people with all the freedoms they want, save to insult, disrespect, or protest the government, and we have made the punishment well clear. Warnings were issued first in these two events. The Imperial Family has vowed over the generation to do what is in their power to protect the people so long as they cooperate. For over 450 years they have done so. And the nation has prospered. Culture has spread, people enjoy themselves and are free to come and go as they please among cities, provinces, and even countries of several regions. We promote fair trade. All we ask is that the people let us do what we have done for years, these are the first events of their kind here. We assure you, the trouble makers who started this will be found out and stopped to prevent more such actions from occuring.

We would like to also thank the Macabees, Banduria, and Magdha- specifically for their responses. We will gladly accept any offered help should it come to that, and send help in return if ever needed.

Finally, Ankhmet, should you continue to call us facist, nazi-sympathying, backwards, or accuse us of genocide, we will fight back in defense of our honor. Your words are unfounded and based on ignorance of our internal operations. We are a Capitalist Benevolent Dictatorship. We do not hold any facist views. Hold your tounge before you end up biting it.

0115 Hours, November 18th
North of Metro City

Plauged with a cold for the past week, Jack had been having a rough time sleeping. And this early morning was no different. He had woken up with a stuffed nose and had stayed awake for an hour trying to fall back to sleep. Finally giving up, he had shuffled to the bathroom of his two-story suburbian home for some cold medicine. As he took some, he heard the sound of approaching rotorblades. "Oddly early for drills," he thought. "But knowing the military..." He dismissed it as the noise seemed to indicate the chopper's presence about a dozen blocks away, passing quietly and went back to bed.

Jack was wrong. The helicopter was, in fact, hovering about a hundred feet over his next-door-neighbor's house. It was a Pave Low, an extremely quite special ops helicopter, this one painted black. At this altitude, it would minimize wind damage to the roof below. Silently, two fast-ropes were tossed out the open side door. They fell in front of two windows; shown to be the master bedroom by intelligence. Swiftly, a man in full black body armor with a tri-scope mask (Splinter Cell) and a silenced rifle slid down each rope. Swinging, they smashed into the house through the windows. Another man came down right behind them. As they rolled in, two figures shot up in bed. It was the two men who some days before had organized the rally at General Kamikaze Square. The two were swiftly subdued. It took two men to hook each prisoner to the fast ropes, which were then hauled up. Seconds later, they slid down again, this time with new windows on them. The four special ops men replaced the broken windows in less then two minutes. They then ascended the ropes into the chopper, which collected its ropes and turned away into the night, no lights on to track its precence. by 0120 Hours, they were gone.

This exact scene was repeated throughout the nation as suspected oppositon leaders were rounded up. A total of 30 people were taken.

It would be a week before anyone noticed their absence.
