City: Xharnia(Capital)
Time: 1:00 P.M.
Location: Outside of Royal Palace


The peasant population was in a state of near rebellion. The Divine King Azure IV was murdered and his predessicor was not one of his line.

In fact the one who had the throne was his murderer Supreme Advisor to the throne Carl Von Ericson.

The Church of the Dark Sun Xharn's state religion was also divided most of the lesser priests supported the massacred Rolanda Family while the Supreme Priest (think pope for Xharn) supported the new ruling family..


There were roughly two thousand angry protestors in the city of Xharnia. That did not count the five thousand in the city of Cova.


The Xharnian Royal Guard (police force of Xharn) tried to break up the riot with a swift barricade and tear gas...


The people fought back by throwing stones and other projectiles at the Xharnian Royal Guard..


An hour after this....


The King Carl Von Ericson was finally tired of his people causing this much disruption to his Kingdom. He gives the orders to his Supreme Field Marshal Ivan Krell, "Shoot all dissidents for they are traitors to the Royal Xharnian Government."


The Supreme Field Marshal Walked out and conveyed his orders to his Field Marshals and soon the Royal Xharnian Military started to moblizes agaisnt the Rioters....




Three Hours Later...

The Royal Xharnian Guard had yet to fire upon the now extermely unruly crowd that was still protesting and refused to give in. They seem to have gotten quite a few home made gas masks and some goggles to protect there faces...




The Rioters were still yelling screaming and demanding the execution of the traitor that now wore the crown of Xharn...



That was when the sight of roughly 100 Abhrams tanks came into the city they took the main road of the city and the people watched in utter surpise as the Xharnian Royal Army had moblized and sent in not only tanks but roughly 4,000 Infantry men armed with M-4 A1 Carbines and M-16 A2 rifles.


The Rioters cheered the sight thinking the Xharnian Royal Army was here to overthrow the dicator that made himself king untill they noticed the sight of the soldiers and tanks heading at them with weapons drawn...


The Loud speakers that usually speak out across the city cry out to the protestors, "King Carl Von Ericson is the true King of Xharn. You have been accused of Treason to the Royal Government. You have 15 minutes to flee from this area or you shall be fired upon!"



The Rioters were frighten many of them actually turned and fled but there was no way all two thousand or so could leave the area and soon the sights of tanks run over people and infantry men bayoneting and shooting defenseless rioters was seen on ever news channel and the message was clear rioting would not be tolerated in Xharn....



A list of damages was recorded:

Deaths: roughly 500 rioters were killed, Police or Army none

injured: roughly 100 rioters were injured, Police or Army roughly 54

Damage property: several buildings were wrecked thanks to the tanks and heavy support fire used to scatter the populace...

The Totalitarian Military State of The Kraven Corporation

We Applaude your usage of force in this situation, in many cases it requires nothing more than brute force, to "Sway" a population into the Governments way of thinking, Again we strongly support your actions, but Urge you not to stop there, Until there is a major Crack Down on Thought Criminals, your nation can never truely be free from such Tyranny, How can a person live without fear, when terrorists and Rebels constantly prowl the streets at night.

So we urge your nation to adopt the following:

Declare a State of Martial Law

Bring into Act an Emergency Military Power Act

Utilise all Resources available to bring these Dissenters to Justice

Create a Special Paramilitary Police Force, with the sole objective of Rooting out Thought Criminals in your cities.

Immeadiatly Pass a Law indicating Thought Crime to be a Crime Punishable by Death.

Only until you adopt these Ideals, Your Nation will never know true Peace

Though the Emperor was currently in Reichskamphen at an anti-genocide convention, that was irrelevant in a today of satellite communications and suborbital transports. For security purposes, the dispatch concerning the rioting in Xharnia was brought by courier aboard one of those transports.

"So, the Xharnians rioted over a usurper of the throne, and said usurper then unleashed an armored brigade on the rioters?" he asked the courier after glancing over the paper.

"Yes Your Majesty. Supposedly they gave them time to run, but our intel says that they went in with bayonets before the time expired," replied the young courier, intensely nervous at performing this duty.

"I see," mused the Emperor, before quickly scrawling some orders on the paper. Determine if there is an organized resistance to this usurper, and dispatch a Mithril battalion and material support if so. "Very good job, lieutenant. Bring this back to General Kalinin, and let no one see this, other than him."

"Yes sir, right away."

From: The King Carl Von Ericson

These seem like good ideas to employ. We are however little pressed in time to employ these ideas however thanks to the Novacom Forces that are gathering on our coast but Declare a State of Martial Law, Bring into Act an Emergency Military Power Act could be employed. The Royal Xharnian Government would like to thank The Totalitarian Military State of The Kraven Corporation for these ideas that could save the intergity of Xharn.

RE: Protests in Xharn

The country of Xharn has once again displayed a need for wanton death and destruction. By killing protestors armed with stones with tanks and machine guns, and by seeking the aid of the evil Kraven Corporation, who is on the verge of destruction and simply desires another puppet state, you have made yourself an enemy of the Allied Union. We will join our Novan allies in their assault on your unjust government, mark our words.

I'll kill some protestors for you! *grabs MP5 SMG and drives off*

This act of brutality sickens the Quaonese Empire. It is a dark day when the ruler of a nation fires on his own people. These people are not playthings, they are real people with real familiys.

If this situation occurs again, we would request you deport the protesters and send them to Quaon instead of killing them.

Official Imperial Response

We applaud the actions of Xharn in this matter. Sometimes, one must use even brute force to keep one's citizens in line, and we respect your right to do so. These people failed to realise that without a rightful ruler, the nation would collapse into anarchy and become vulnerable to terrorists and Marxist scum. For their stupidity, they deserved to die to preserve the security of Xharn. We will deploy part of the 9th Legion and a battalion of Thought Police to your nation at once to restore law and order.

As for the rest of the international community.... any attempt to move against Xharn by placing trade sanctions or embargoes, or attacking, will be met in kind by the Imperium itself. This is your only warning.

While your condemnation against the murder is commendable, I highly do not recommend barking at another nation who is supposedly backed by powerful despots. Such actions will get your people shot up worse then the poor protestors in Xharn. I advise you enter hiding for a while

DEMOCRATIC SOVIET REPUBLIC OF KAHANISTAN
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Government of Kahanistan condemns in the vilest terminology imaginable the unspeakably hideous acts of Carl Von Ericson, the dictator of Xharn. We are currently cutting off relations with your barbarous and fascist regime, as we should have done when your forces attacked forces of our ally, the Holy Empire of Xirnium.

The Supreme Soviet of the Democratic Soviet Republic of Kahanistan has authorized that any Xharnian who is opposed to the "Divine" King may immigrate to Kahanistan as a political refugee. A Kahanistan transport vessel is preparing to depart, escorted by four Kirov-class cruisers and two guided missile destroyers. The fleet is there to retrieve such political refugees, and the warships will not fire unless the transport is attacked, in which case we have a nice, tall glass of Cobalt-60 for the "Divine King's" palace.

Press release 9028202

"We rarely comment on the internal politics of a nation, but we do find it quite interesting that the self-righteous of the 'international community' resort to force first instead of seeking a diplomatic and political solution.

Perhaps Vrak ought to take a more active role in defending the national sovereignty of nations instead of focusing on its own internal affairs."

Director of Foriegn Investments Office, War Incorperated, Ferrum Island

Leaning back on his black leather chair, Criag Sanders quietly read the morning's news paper, occasionally sipping from a small glass of scotch sitting on the redwood desk half empty. It had been a calm morning so far in War Incorperated, Noitan Teppup's largest security system and weapons manufacturer. What little foriegn news Director Sanders had read lately included the massacre of 'innocent' civilians in the Kingdom of Xharn, one of the newer international identities being watched by the world community at large. It was always like this with the new kids on the block; the others would observe and take notes, working out their stance on the newest element in the grand game of politics. Where others saw attrocities, Craig couldn't help but concider the profit margins available in such new turf... but as always, information was required.

Lightly, the intercom bleeped and his lovely assistant, Karen with her meek voice polite informed him that Ms. Evans had arrived arrived for her eleven o'clock meeting.

"Very well Karen, please, show her in." Criag had been with War Inc. for some time, already his clean cut beard had gone grey with age and his hairline receded further back each year. Life had been kind to him in these golden years and he had a bit of a belly to show for it, but for the most part he wasn't an unattractive old man and he had the experience of a lifetime behind him with a conservative attitude to match. Some would say he was predictable, but there were many men who had assumed as much who were now on the streets with the rest of the plebs.

Karen was a darling, were it not for her skills as a personal assistant it would have been seemed like the Director had chosen her for her perfect behind, heavenly bosom and her golden locks, however she had proven time and time again to be both discreet and efficient in her role. In contrast, Ms. Evans was almost spartan in her appearance. Wearing a severe dress that left almost everything to the imagination, she clearly and always meant business. It was assumed that if she made the effort she would be rather attractive, but no one at work had really made the effort to find out as she intimidated most of them in her role of Corperate Inteligence Advisor. Today she was here to advise the Director on the latest developements in Xharn as Criag had personally asked for such a breifing.

"Thank you for agreeing to come to this meeting on such short notice, Ms. Evans." Criag said politely as Karen left the room, closing the double doors in the process. "Can I offer you a drink before you start?"

Ms. Evans shuck her head simply. "No thanks, Mr. Sanders. I'm afraid I'll have to keep this brief as I'm on a tight schedule today and there isn't much information we have on the Kingdom of Xharn at this time."

"No? But I thought your department had information on every nation..." Criag said in disbeleif.

"I'm afraid there is a limit to our resources, Director." she replied, the inflection on her voice suggesting there wasn't much they didn't know and that this just happened to be one of them. "As I'm sure you are aware, the Kingdom of Xharn is fairly new on in the international community and have been under our radar for sometime...

"Normally we would have at the very least sent some representatives over there to evaluate their potential worth and the possibility of investment... but before we managed to send someone their nation had some civil trouble and the ensueing war has limited our efforts somewhat. We were hoping to allow the nation some time to recover before making such an assessment."

"So what do we have on them? Aside from the fact they are a unstable kingdom?" Criag asked, impatiently. He didn't like the idea that this was a bit of a blank spot in their intelligence... but it was still intering, civil war always is.

"They have a strong economy for a nation of their size, which in all honesty isn't as small as some may think. They leader clearly doesn't care much for civil rights and seems be to cracking down on those who don't like the way it is... ironically it's a little similar to us like that though our government isn't so overt in it's efforts." Ms. Evans sighed. "To be honest, Mr. Sanders, it's clear that if we really want anything more then a brief factbook of this nation, we're going to need someone inside to make an evaluation and like I said we would rather let it cool down a little before we try."

"Yes, I'm fully aware of that, Ms. Evans. Though I'm sure it's not above the Intelligence department to send someone in on the sly... I'll make sure it's authorised by the others first of course, but I think that with a little work we could make a good bit of profit on this one. So how possible would it be to send someone now?"

"Hm... we would need to look into a few details first of course, but I imagine it shouldn't be impossible, even if we have to make a pretext first in order to gain enterance. I'll have to update you on that another time... but if you get the operation authorised I'm sure we could work out the how."

"Very well, Ms. Evans. Thanks for your input as always." Criag pressed a button under his desk to which the door at the back of the room opened. "That will be all."

Nodding, the Intelligence Advisor walked out the room in silence.

OOC: Hehe, didn't expect to have writen so much, oh well. Telegram, Xharn...

OOC: for the record The United Holy Kingdom of Xharn does have a coast but it already is blockaded by Novacom's Navy. I would be careful about sending ships because the new King is very tempted in using a Nuclear sub to wipe that fleet out in a mushroom cloud so to speak...

We are dissapointed with your actions your majesty and want to make one thing certain, we are not doubting the veracity of your ruling authority we are simply in disdain for your actions. We ask that you rethink our position or we will be forced to send in a blockade.

The platoon of Mithril special forces soldiers slowly climbed out of the water, in a deserted section of Xharn's coast, a single person on the coast, as had been planned. A few of the soldiers turned around and hauled crates out of the water as "Andre" walked down to meet them.

"Moria" he said, giving them the password.

"Glad to see you Andre. We've brought some toys for you and your men. Stinger and Javelin missiles mainly, but also a few thermobaric rockets. Let's get this somewhere safe."

Across Xharn, 9 other platoons made their contacts with the resistance groups.

==================
"Your Majesty, our intelligence reports that Xharn has threatened the use of nuclear weapons against those opposing it, and has released nuclear weapons control to lower commanders."

"Send them a message reminding them that should they use nuclear weapons, they will find themselves sitting in a lake of fire. Put Omega Corps on alert for that, and send a battlegroup and MEF to assist Novacom and anyone else who wants to invade."

Top Secret Message From Tech-Com Corporation To the Kingdom of Xharn
"You may remember us as the ones who supplied you with those designs for an Automated Nuclear Facility. We now notice that you lack Anti-Ballistic Missile Protection of any kind. We are willing to remedy that problem via the selling of one of our products... the MDM-5C ABMM

MDM-5C:A Anti-Ballistic Missile Missile. This is a variation of the MDM-5B Super-High Altitude SAM, which is in turn a variation of the MDM-5A Anti-Sattelite Missile. It uses a combination of RADAR and Infrared Imaging to seek out a warhead re-entering the atmosphere. Then its specially programmed guidance system uses data from the IR and RADAR Sensors to calculate the incoming warheads trajectory, speed, heading, etc. It then uses that information to put the missile on a course in which the incoming warhead would collide with the intercepting missile. Given the cost of a modern ICBM, this is a remarkebly cheap and easy solution to destroy an inbound warhead. It even is capable of intercepting Manueverable Warheads(which swerve as they re-enter the atmosphere to avoid being hit). they do have a 40% faliure rate, but that is remedied by the fact that the launcher carries fou(4) missiles. As with all Red Tidean Electronics, the equipment is hardened to withstand severe EMP Blasts.

We sell them in batteries, a battery consists of 10 mobile launchers, and a single RADAR Array. As a bonus, we will wire you the designs of the missil, that allows you to replace and stockpile expended missiles. The total cost is 45 million dollars per battery. Thank you for your time."

The King Carl Von Ericson in the Central Control Room of Hive was notified of the Quaon Empire message about aimed at his capital.

The King Carl Von Ericson swore and saids, "Arm two Mark IV Long Range Nuclear Warheads at the Empire of Quaon' s capital and show them how it fills to threaten a desperate power!"

The head of the Stragetic Missile Command, Missile Command Marshal Marius Rockham arms the activation codes.

In about about 30 minutes the Mark IV's would be opening from there silos with the coordinates ready to fire if fired upon first...

"You may remember us as the ones who supplied you with those designs for an Automated Nuclear Facility. We now notice that you lack Anti-Ballistic Missile Protection of any kind. We are willing to remedy that problem via the selling of one of our products... the MDM-5C ABMM

MDM-5C:A Anti-Ballistic Missile Missile. This is a variation of the MDM-5B Super-High Altitude SAM, which is in turn a variation of the MDM-5A Anti-Sattelite Missile. It uses a combination of RADAR and Infrared Imaging to seek out a warhead re-entering the atmosphere. Then its specially programmed guidance system uses data from the IR and RADAR Sensors to calculate the incoming warheads trajectory, speed, heading, etc. It then uses that information to put the missile on a course in which the incoming warhead would collide with the intercepting missile. Given the cost of a modern ICBM, this is a remarkebly cheap and easy solution to destroy an inbound warhead. It even is capable of intercepting Manueverable Warheads(which swerve as they re-enter the atmosphere to avoid being hit). they do have a 40% faliure rate, but that is remedied by the fact that the launcher carries fou(4) missiles. As with all Red Tidean Electronics, the equipment is hardened to withstand severe EMP Blasts.

We sell them in batteries, a battery consists of 10 mobile launchers, and a single RADAR Array. As a bonus, we will wire you the designs of the missil, that allows you to replace and stockpile expended missiles. The total cost is 45 million dollars per battery. Thank you for your time."

"Confirmed, they will be flown in. A little note, since these are mobile launchers, we suggest you keep them in hardened bunkers until the time comes in which they are needed."

"Nothing. We can do Nothing." whispered the minister. "Such rulers are routine in their brutality and existance. Yet we can do nothing

Xharn:

We retract our statement.

Foriegn minister of Admiral-Bell

Prime Minister Jonathen Christianson turned to the minister of war.

"Show me the nuclear levels for Xharn."

"Yes sir....oh my God! They've just armed a God damned missile!"

"The hell? Are they insane?"

"I don't know sir, but I advise we fire off a nuke at them. Give me authorization, please sir."

"You have authorization. How long will this take?"

"20 minutes, sir."

"Good. Get me online with Xharn."

"Xharn, the Empire of Quaon had detected a nuclear missile being armed in your kingdom. We are launching a nuclear missile now. If you abort the arming sequance of your weapon, we will abort ours. If you don't, it's mutually assured destruction. Don't be an idiot, your majesty, abort the God damned missile."

"The nation of Quaon has been declared a terrorist state by the Glorious Kingdom of Vrak. We urge all involved parties to seek a diplomatic solution first instead of launching nuclear missiles."

We are simply launching missiles for our own protection. As I said before, if Xharn disables their missiles, we will disable ours.

OOC: Sorry to double post, but...

Sergeant Haris Montegomry looked at the men around him. The Quaonese nuclear missile was ready for launch.

"Is abort code Beta in effect in case those Xharn bastards decide to disable their weapons?'

"Yes sir!" a private said after a moment of checking databases.

The Sergeant switched on the video phone, and called the Prime Minister.

"Sir, do you give final clearance to launch the missile?"

"Yes. Code Omega 2218 UOA23 is in effect."

"Got it, sir. FIRE!"

The sound of the explosion could be heard all across the military base. It went into the air like a rocket, and began it's treck to Xharn.

Pale Rider Arms and Otagia will support Xharn in any defensive efforts, as well as any reconstruction that may become neccessary if the attack is carried out. Additionally, all trade with Quaon will cease, and Otagia no longer recognizes the Quaonese government's claim to power.

Sorry, the following information wasn't realised:
We detected signifigant nuclear acctivity in Xharn. That means they are arming nukes. We decided that we would not let them fire upon a foriegn nation, so we fired. The nuke has been aborted. We are no longer fighting, assuming Xharn powers down its own nukes.
If it does not, we will fire again. Fair warning.

Official Republic Release

Seeing the recent developments in regards to the nation of Xharn arming missiles, and the subsequent launch and abortion of a nuclear missile by the nation of Quaron we have this to say. Launching a nuclear weapon because another nation has armed one of its’ own is unacceptable. Just because a nation arms its weapons does not automatically mean that they will use them. It is absolutely ludicrous to start nuclear armageddon because of it, and as such we will support the nation of Xharn if it is attacked with nuclear weapons. And in regards to the nation of Quaron we are following suit with the nation of Otagia in cutting off any trade, now or in the future with the nation of Quaron since it seems to believe the best answer to a problem is not diplomacy, but nuclear armageddon.

Official Statement From Red Tide Goverment
"That information is ALREADY known, however, you armed your missile, did you not? Therefore, Xharn was responding APPROPRIATLY to a threat. Then you go off on a limb, make a wild assumption, and launch your missile! Any further missiles launched at Xharn will be shot down by our Missile Defense System. Also, we are enacting an embargo against the nation of Quaon, its leader is apparently not worthy of rule, given his rash actions."

Nations have a right to own nuclear weapons, and have a right to arm them. However, they do NOT possess the right to launch them in an unprovoked attack. Your attack on Xharn was not justified, and has brought the sanity of your nations leadership into question. We will be monitoring this situation, and will respond to any developments with appropriate measures. Whether these will be the removal of our embargoes or a complete blockade of your nation is up to you. We hope that your sanity is more intact than it appears.

Official Imperial Statement

We find the use of nuclear weapons by Quaon on Xharn an outrage. Even though the weapons were aborted, any further nuclear attack on Xharn and the entire Bandurian NBC arsenal will be trained on Quaon itself. Of which even a small portion, believe us, is not something you wish to experience.

In fact, any pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons -- by either side wiithout a just cause -- will be met with the strongest possible retribution by the Imperium itself. Keep your WMDs out of this or you will face ours.

So we therefore have vested interests in this nation, as it could serve very well for us...

Any Further Missile Attacks against Xharn will result in a Tactical Nuclear Strike against the Aggressor nation, The Attack will be One Week of Nuclear Cleansing, to ensure that an act like this does not happen again, Against Corporate...."Interests" you have been Warned.

Your nation is now classified as a terrorist state. As of this moment, full economic sanctions are now enacted against your nation.

The nation of Quoan has now been classified as a terrorist state. Therefore, the Glorious Kingdom of Vrak has enacted full economic sanctions against that nation. We urge all concerned partied to find a diplomatic solution.

[Seal of the Vrak Diplomatic Corps]

"All these nations ready to go to war, so easily. This is sheer madness." Muttered the large man, staring out one of the Go'ad's many portholes towards the just barely visible coastline of Xharn, the modified sea liner dwarfed by several larger vessels of flying unknown colours with unknown motives.

"Sheer madness." He mumbled again, turning back to the assembled staff.

"All sides are willing to use heavy weaponry and Contra Terrene Devices to strike at one another." Said one man, immersed in a datalink conference with several UN operatives and non-aligned state intelligence services. He blanched before stating "Bioweapon threats have been encouraged from one Kraven Corporation."

"What happened to the good old days where we could settle border disputes and such madness with a good old small tactical operative team and very little hoo-haa?" Moaned another aide, older, smiling at the man. It wasn't a cheerful smile.

"Seems like all these nations want to do is make a bigger and louder bang every time." Sighed the man.

"We'll begin our relief effort immediately."

"What was the last known status of Xharn?"

"Blockade has achieved 30% cutoff mark. Grain and other imported foodstuffs are missing, and unless we recieve word of large-scale produce in that area, they'll need food within the week." Came another voice.

"Very well. Have the ship stop within range of enemy coastal weapons. But broadcast a neutral signal and tell them our intentions."

"What if the other ships order us to stop?"

"And risk the bad publicity? I hope they won't, but worse things happen at sea." Muttered the man, returning his gaze to the window.

Official Imperial Statement

The Imperium applauds Vrak's actions in this situation. We will support the full economic sanctions enacted on Quaon or any other measures taken against Quaon should the situation escalate. Nations that do not condemn this missile launch are effectively supporting a terrorist state.

"Your Majesty, there's been, some problems, with the Xharn situation" reported the nervous courier.

"What problems?"

"Quaon threatened a nuclear attack, and then launched when Xharn took the precaution of readying their own nuclear deterrent. They since aborted the single missile launched. There has also been a rather strong international condemnation of Quaon."

The emperor groaned as the courier relayed the information. Why must we suffer fools Lord?

"Instruct the Organized Militia to shoot down any further nuclear attacks by Quaon, and send a diplomatic message instructing them to refrain from further foolishness."

=============

To the Empire of Quaon

We are amazed by the insanity and foolishness that you have earlier displayed. We most highly suggest that you stand down your military and leave this conflict immediately, to avoid further escalation and bungling of the situation. If you launch another pointless attack we will remove your capacity to do so.

By direction,
His Imperial Majesty, Paul VII

I'm aware of the size of your military. Still Virzon stands by its decision and will not change. Also I'm not threatening war, I'm stating facts. If nothing goes wrong here then there will be no war.

"Status?" The man asked, standing behind and to the side of the navigator, as he checked the ship's location with the satellite overhead.

"Approximately twelve kilometres from their main port. No activity on Satellite picture. I think they've abandoned the docks."

"They wouldn't. They've mounted a huge defensive coastal line. They wouldn't leave the main port unguarded or unchecked. They're waiting for us to make a move." He sniffed and checked the long range surveillance drone's imagery once again.
The VTOL drone was about six metres long, and had twin nacelles that powered two turbopropellors, and it was once remarked that it reminded the captain of a V-22 in its shape, right up until you looked at the sophisticated drone's bank of 'eyes' - two infrared cameras, a steadycam, and a directional laser microphone setup, with element protection.

It had been buzzing out there for the better part of an hour, staying as close to the relatively calm Xharnian waters as possible, to avoid detection, lights off, watching the main port closely - it was practically the only port capable of taking the Go'ad.

Not that they'd dock just yet.

"Send the message again."

BEGINNING TRANSMISSION

Secret IC:
The Sultan Al-Na'ib Whyatica, sitting in his office, reading papers, came upon his Minister's latest message to the international community regarding the botched nuclear attack upon Xharn.

He was displeased, as he usually is these days. He called his Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdul Al-Malakk into his office.

"What is this rubbish? Quaon needs to be wiped off the face of this planet for their threat of unprovoked nuclear attack upon Xharn." he calmly told his soon to be former Minister of Foreign Affairs.

"Sultan..I was merely following the edicts of the Qu'ran..We should not judge, as it is the work of Allah to judge." Abdul responded, slightly fearful, as he had already heard what happened to the Space Command head.

"Who is in the leadership of this country, hmm? Me or Allah? I am higher than Allah in this land and do you not forget it. I am Allah on Earth. He gives me infinite power of this land and mere mortals."

"Sultan..."

"I am a God! You shall not disobey me again, Abdul! Rescind this message, and send out a new one, condemning Quaon and offering support to Xharn."

"Yes, my lord. How much in the form of support?" Abdul was praying to his God that the Sultan would not be displeased again, as it would mean his last days as Minister, and probably his last days to have internal organs. The Sultan was notoriously cruel when he killed his underlings personally.

"Offer to send them $150 Billion USD as aid, and some of our retired ABM missiles if they require them. Do it now, Abdul, otherwise I may have to unleash the Fury once more." The Fury of Na'ib was the Sultan's personal scimitar, and it had been in the House of Whyatica for centuries.

"If you have any further questions, Minister, I will be in the harem [OOC: :D] and then in my chambers."

IC:

The King Carl Von Ericson was extremely surpised, when the Hive's Satelite intelligence and Radar picked up an incoming Nuclear Missile from the Empire of Quaon.

The entire Royal Xharnian High Command was about to finish up there debate. About what they planed to do about the Quaonese missile launch.

Then all of a sudden word reach the Royal Xharnian High Command that the Quaonese not only aborted there missile strike they were also getting flak for it from the international Community.

The King Carl Von Ericson quickly orders that the Mark IV's to be deactived. Once he recieves word that the Imperium of Banduria demanded that both sides disarm there W.M.D's.

_________________________________________________________________


The 1st 2nd and 4th Royal Xharnian Fleets easily picked up the message.

The entire Coastal Defense Forces had also recieved word about the coming of the Go'ad.

The problem was the Royal Xharnian High Command had not given orders about neutral shipping. They were still catching there breaths after word was given about the possiable Nuclear strike on Xharn.


The Commander of the Coastal Defesnse Field Marshal Mavrick Von Bureon (The Guy in Charge of the Coastal Defense's thanks to Novacom's infernal Blockade.) reads his orders and see's nothing about handling international relief people or neutral parties.

The Field Marshal Mavrick Von Bureon sends a message to Fleet Marshal Eric Nastan of the 4th Xharnian Fleet to intercept the Go'ad and hold here untill the Royal Xharnian High Command could decide upon there fate.

Shortly after word two Naval Destroyers from the one of the several Naval ports near Cova heads out and sends a long range hail:

Go'ad, You have entered into Royal Xharnian Waters, These waters are currently restricted under the decree of Martail law. The Royal Xharnian High Command has still not giving word on what is to be done with you so for now your ship is to hold it's postion untill the Supreme Fleet Marshal Dylan Hunt Gives his command about what is to be done...

We offer to host a summit concerning the parties of Xharn, their supporters and those that have a greivance against Xharn. This is not an international court but only a place to air out greivances on neutral territory.

We ask that those who wish to partake in this reply immediately to this office and further instructions shall be made available.

OOC: In other words, don't post that you've suddenly arrived in Vrak. Our state is perhaps one of the most paranoid in the Klatch and the FKC itself is rather nutty and, quite frankly, highly militarized. Unknown craft tend to get blown up rather quickly. Please see the Wiki link for more information or telegram me if you have any specific questions. As this is still the holidays, I'll try to be on as much as I can but I can't promise anything regular.

Sci Tech would like to offer a squad of Elite 911 hunter bots to who ever needs them. We offer this free of charge because they need a field test. Thankyou.

The Field Marshal Mavrick Von Bureon was finally given notification from the Royal Xharnian High Command.

The Royal Xharnian High Command was going to allow the International Red Cross people to dock in Cova's main public port...


The Field Marshal gives his orders to the Fleet Marshal Eric Nastan....

Shortly after the Command orders were given...

The main Naval Destroyer sends another hail:

Go'ad, Your request to dock in the Port of Cova has been granted. You are designated to Main Port of the City of Cova have a nice day.....

OOC: I didn't realise this thread even existed until a few minutes ago, I am indeed preparing to invade Xharn, well more accurately I have made the preparations all that's missing is the order, An Extensive Blockade is in position, and the reason for invasion has nothing to do with this riot, quite frankly ICly Novacom couldn't care less about Xharn's human rigghts record.

IC: In Novesia it was the height of New Dawn's Festivsal, the 6 day long event started at what the rest of the world knew as christmas and finished on New Years Day Snow lightly fluttered down on the tall spires of the city, people charged through the streets waving banners and joyfully chanting songs, it was a time of peace and happiness, well for almost everyone, at the Tower of Destiny, the Suprainister gazed out of the wide windows of his office down at the proceedings, with war with Xharn imminent it was certainly not a time of peace for him. In front of him stood the 12 men and women that made up the Council of Ministers, they had decided for a more informal setting to discuss the Xharn Situation.

"Suprainister, the Xharn represenative has just left Divango, the negotiations as predicted went nowhere, they've even had the nerve to issue an ultimatum, unless WE withdraw from blockading their nation they will declare war, they gave us a week," Minister Nazalia Trens, The Defence Minister her feminine voice soft and gentle belying the fierce fire that burned within, the fools they were geting themselves into a war they could never win.

The Ministers around would break out into small discussion, "What are we to do then?," came from Minister Shani Torellst Environment minister.

"I'll have Novacom Manufacturing quadrouple output on the double," Responded Minister Peter Gelkas, Econmics Minister, his eyes burning with a dangerous intent, the foundries were already producing an ungoly ammount of materiel, quadroupling production would be a feat that perhaps not even a gods could match, if we beleived in gods, the minister thought wryly.

"Settle down settle down, the options left open to us are non-existant apart from war," pausing to single out Nazalia, "Nazalia I have a telegram from Kahanistan in front of me requesting permission to go through the blockade, what are your thoughts?" Conversation from the other ministers petered out, So war after all, it was a pity but they had no choice.

"Let them through, though I'll be informaing General Kavik that he is to commence operations as soon as he is ready, the invasion plan will be going on ahead of schedule, preparations were complete days ago anyway." She Clasped her hands in her lap, she was dilligent to say the least, what to an outsider to be an immense amount of effort would be to a Novan nothing more than what was expected of her, I will do my duty, and so will they, for a better future.

Denteth pauses for a moment nodding gently and begins scribbling casually away before handing a slip of paper to an aide and nodding gently, "Forward this to Kahanistan Kininias, and this one to the international community," pausing to hand another, she quickly hurried away to send them, it was a matter of urgency.

Official Press Release
Hello, Xharn and allies. We apologize for this earlier attack. Our former Prime Minister, Jonathen Christianson, has just been voted out of office. This isn't the first time he almost started a war. The minister of war is also being voted out.

We apologize, and we wish to make diplomatic tyes with your nation. I am extremly sorry for this predicament Christianson forced you into. He did not get proper clearance to launch nuclear missiles, and I assure you, if he had tried, he would not have gotten it.

We hope that all nations of the world can forgive the actions of our former Prime Minister.
-Newly Elected Prime Minister Quin Orbor

Secret IC:

Palace of the Sultan, Whyatica, Whyatica

"Sultan, the nation of Xharn has accepted our aid package," Minister Abdul told the Sultan.

"And.....is there anything else, minister?" the Sultan responded, not even looking up from his papers

"Well, the military aid we promised them would have to get past a Novacom blockade. Word has it that Novacom is preparing to invade Xharn, and we don't exactly want to piss Novacom off by trying to run their blockade."

"I do not care about the Novans and their blockade. We fulfill our promises here, Minister. Get the supplies to Xharn."

--------------------
Twelve Hours Later.... Civilian Docks, Port Yusuf, Whyatica

The men of the docks had a job to do: Phony a shipping vessel to appear like it's a red-cross or other such humanitarian vessel. The Sultan had ordered that the military supplies will get to Xharn, and to attempt to get past an extremely formidable Novacom [OOC: and Velkyan?] blockade.

Crate after crate of supplies rolled into the boat...1 million StG-77 assault rifles, 500,000 .38 Special pistols, and 150,000 SAM battery missiles to complement Xharn's defence were slowly led up into the boat.

An hour afterwards, the vessel, renamed the "WSS Mercy" and perfectly disguised, left the docks of Whyatica for Xharn.

It would be several days before the ship arrived there, and would make it's possibly suicidal attempt to go past the blockade.

Minister Malakk was not the only one who thought the Sultan had lost his mind...

====

The sleek hypersonic transport thundered into the heavens above Vrak Prime and the wheeled about to point in the direction of Franco-Philian. The pilot adjusted the automatic pilot as he cast a glance over the Walrus Sea.

In the luxurious quarters reserved for diplomats, the Vrakian envoy silently went over the scant intel information about their destination. He also looked at the latest update and pondered the implications of the Novacom blockade and other nations threatening to use nuclear weapons. He wondered to himself exactly why Vrak deigns to involve themself in this conflict, especially given the unstable climate back in the Klatch. An excuse to flex military might to make a point? He thought about that but discounted it. No. The military was currently occupied with securing New Shiron and preparing for the Klatchworld invasion. He was at a loss but prepared some kind of answer should it be asked.

It wouldn't take long for the transport to reach Franco-Philian once it reached top speed. He awaited the order to strap himself in when the afterburners would kick in.

Didier Remy sat in the luxurious room sat aside for diplomats in his country's national airport which had been shut down in the expectation of the Vrak aircraft. Two aides stood quietly by as the minister sipped on mineral water. Everything was ready to recieve them, the minister and aides in black ministerial robes and tricolor sashes. The minister hoped Xharn would send notice of an interest in attending the peace talks, Novacom as well. He fidgeted nervously, awating the Vrakian ships.

RE: Summit

We will attend the summit, however be advised prior negotiations with Xharn broke down due to their inflexiblity and inability to see reason, more than likely by the time the summit commences war will have commenced, but at the very least the summit can serve the purpose of a post war Xharn that the International Community will find pleasing.

From: The Armed Republic of Mirkana
To: The United Holy Kingdom of Xharn
Cc: Admiral Nina Golov, commander of Task Force X-Ray (currently in Xharnian waters)

While Mirkana does not condone the actions of Carl Von Ericson... oh, who are we to condemn his own coup? OUR coup involved airstrikes!

Any nation that invades Xharn will have to fight Mirkana as well. Xharn is our ally. And we conveniently have a carrier group and an aerial division in Xharn at the moment.

OOC: I RP some losses for Xharn (an APC) in this solely for the purpose of setting up the story.

Somewhere in Xharn...

"So you see, the declaration of martial law is merely a piece of psychological warfare, nothing more. It actually weakens the forces facing you," finished Corporal Joahnnes Neumann.

A dozen Xharnians, too fed up with the imposter "king" to sit still, and the Mithril soldier lay in the high brush covering the hill. At the bottom of the hill, about two thousand feet away from them, was an important rural road. In about 5 minutes, that rural road would turn into a death trap.

"How is that so?" asked Mark Jacobs, the Xharnian whom Corporal Neumann was training to command this small group of guerillas. "We have to watch out for soldiers attacking us after all, and not just near bases."

"Ah, but that's just the point. In order to do so, and to conduct the military patrols, they are forced to spread out and diversify their forces, thus providing easier targets for us and weakening their ability to strike back," responded Neumann, smiling as he did so. "Take this attack for instance. Were there not a state of martial law, we'd have to attack their base. Instead, a sympathizer let us know of this patrols departure, and so they provide us with some easy targets, since we can easily station teams along the paths they'll have to take. Another sympathizer let us know of the patrol's turning onto this highway, and since we know about how fast the patrol will travel, we know when they'll arrive. Which should be pretty soon," he finished.

Scarcely two minutes later, the patrol appeared, three armored personnel carriers led by what appeared to be a Humvee.

"Ok everyone, don't shoot until they stop and dismount. Except for you Smith," hissed Jacobs, chuckling slightly as he remembered that Smith was charged with beginning the attack, armed with a Javelin anti-tank missile.

Smith nodded, and relaxed behind the boulder. He had had a lock on the first APC since it appeared, but the timing of the ambush was critical. Right about....NOW! The fire and forget missile popped out of the tube, which was hastily dropped behind the boulder and travelled for a few meters before igniting the rocket and driving down towards target. The Javelin was a top attack missile normally, this just made its job easier.

The Xharnian APC never saw the missile coming, nor, truthfully, did the soldiers aboard it ever expect to come under attack. It was just another boring and pointless patrol after all.

The missile nearly obliterated the front half of the APC, which slewed across the road, spreading parts everywhere, before finally stopping on its side. On the hill the guerillas waited, hoping that the Xharnian soldiers would take the bait. A 60mm mortar and thermobaric rounds were waiting for them to do so.

OOC: I will assume proper clearances have been given and that my transports haven’t been shot down…We can also speed it up if you wish and have everyone at the conference.

IC:

As in the case of Franco-Philian, two more hypersonic transports was bound for the nations of Xharn and Novacom respectively. Each transport was silver in colour with the seal of the Vrak Diplomatic Corps along with the Flag of the Glorious Kingdom emblazoned on the wings, tail fin, and on either side below the cockpit. They arrived fairly quickly at their destinations and landed at their designated spots.

A hatch opened and out stepped two skeletal-looking robots (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/SOAT-bot) armed with what appears to be a machine gun clutched in their arms. They descended first and after a moment a huge Inuit bodyguard dressed in military fatigues peered out. He went down and was followed by a young woman dressed in a smart business suit. She bowed to the delegates and introduced herself as a special envoy representing the Vrakian government.

“Are you ready to begin?” she inquired as she motioned to get on so that they could speed their way back to Vrak.

====

In Vrak Prime itself, preparations were underway to host the summit. Unlike the far larger World Court done so long ago, this was smaller in scale and thus the military felt that they could handle any problems that may develop.

The conference room itself was a smallish affair with a table easily able to accommodate 30 people. It was made of pure Klatchian Oak and inlaid with various semi-precious stones. The chairs were luxurious and before each seat a microphone was placed. Translators were hastily arranged and due to the nature of the gathering it was uncertain if Vrak had the linguistical capability to handle it since the nations involved were unknown to the Kingdom. But then, Vrak did say that the envoy could have an aide come.

Other media aids were available and were of top notch quality. A team of technicians were standing by ready to lend assistance to the various delegates. Computer hook-ups would be allowed inasfar as connecting to their own nation. The system itself was heavily monitored and breaching security was grounds for interrogation. As well, the room would be monitored for remote transmissions and likely intercepted by the ever-able VIS.

Each small delegation would also be flanked by the mysterious robots met earlier on the transport, with four to a party. Accompanying them would be a man dressed in a black outfit with features hidden by what appears to be a motorcycle helmet. Also in the room would be two nondescript looking people that would appear to be concentrating on the very minds of each arrival. These would be the empaths (an extremely rare commodity in Vrak), and anyone with telepathic ability would be subject to intense scrutiny from them.


The room itself was held within the Dome of Justice which is a massive affair. Once an ancient fortress, it now serves at the hub of all legal matters in the Kingdom. This is where the Supreme Court of Vrak sits and also down the hall was were the famous World Court was held. Thus, security was prevalent and all delegates would be searched and scanned for weapons. If found, even ceremonial ones, then the item would be removed and stored in a safe place for later retrieval. No offense was intened, but Vrak would broke no one bucking the rules.

Minister Remy bordered the Vrak vessel with his two aides following silently behind him. He adjusted his sash as he was seated, admiring the beautiful and sleek vessel. He looked forwward with some anxiety to the conference, wanting to ensure Franco-Philia had a voice and to make sure no one forgot about the poor protestors, regardless of the Novacom/Xharn issue. As the vessel began it's left he started a long conversation with his closest aide about the entire situation, in French of course, hoping the Vrakians didn't speak it.

OOC: The country is Franco-Philia, Franco-Philian is the adjective describing something from there.

Somewhere in Xharn...

"So you see, the declaration of martial law is merely a piece of psychological warfare, nothing more. It actually weakens the forces facing you," finished Corporal Joahnnes Neumann.

A dozen Xharnians, too fed up with the imposter "king" to sit still, and the Mithril soldier lay in the high brush covering the hill. At the bottom of the hill, about two thousand feet away from them, was an important rural road. In about 5 minutes, that rural road would turn into a death trap.

On the hill the guerillas waited, hoping that the Xharnian soldiers would take the bait. A 60mm mortar and thermobaric rounds were waiting for them to do so.


The APC was destroyed and five Xharnian Ground infantry men ran out to check what happened.

They were armed with there standard issiue M-16 A2 and M-67 grendades.

One of the Sargent who noticed the effects quickly ordered his squad of ten Xharnian Infantry to find out what destroyed the APC and return the favor so to speak.

The Xharnian soldiers have no idea they are running into a trap....

_________________________________________________________________

The Minister of Intelligence Baroness Alice Rose salutes and saids, "The Xharnian Delegation is ready to begin."

The Minister of Intelligence was followed by two X.R.I.C. agents that were to be her "aides".

The entire delegation of three wore the typical uniform of X.R.I.C. the black uniform you would think to find in the men in black movie with the dark sun glasses to hide there features.

Unlike X.R.I.C. Dainel Leer who was part of X.R.I.C.'s infamous Extermination squads.

These X.R.I.C. agents were not the military style assissains so often representated from the organization.....

The Kahanistan Navy waited at the Novan blockade line. They had permission to cross, but were going to wait and see how the peace talks turned out before extracting refugees and risking a firefight with the Xharnians.

The ships were running on sub-skeleton crews, barely able to fire their weapons. They were stocked with supplies and enough space was cleared to extract over 100,000 Xharnians. The Xharnian Navy would not know about the poor defensive capacities of the Kahanistan ships, which appeared as good as their own...

"Negotiations have failed? Move them in."

After the fleet commander spoke, the vessels were about a day's sailing from Xharn...

"Go'ad No'kul is at port, and secure. The Guard reports that it looks like the Xharnians are preparing for an inspection of the ship." Said the Security Officer, small submachine gun strapped to his stomach, he was a tall man, his pale, oddly red tinged skin pegging him as an Adapt. The light in the conference room was bright, and steady, yet somehow managed to miss the faces of all assembled.

"When you recieve clearance to begin the operation, make sure the drivers understand their orders. They're to offload the supplies and make ready for hospital cases. Medical trucks are to meet Xharnian officers here. They'll direct you to the hospitals. From there, we'll deal with cases that are delivered by the Xharnians." Said the man, arms crossed over his broadchest, his perpetual frown set like stone.

"Have the surveillance drones dismantled and place the parts in the Helicopter's gear bay. We can claim they're spare parts. I'd like to be honest, but they'd probably make a hell of a fuss, not to mention arrest us all." He shrugged at the assembled officers. "Have the manifest ready, and report to me any problems."

"Oh." Said an officer, checking the communications console in front of him. "XRIC agents confirmed. Inspection team consists of XRIC agents..."

The collective crowd drew in a breath. They knew this was a possibility.

"Right. Well this means you all have to be extra cautious. They are trained in sniffing out inconsistencies. You have your orders. Do it."

The Franco-Philian delegates were ushered into the conference room. One wall had a small buffet table loaded with mostly seafood items, although the pretty young woman aboard each transport said that one can request whatever they wished.

The other wall had a huge display screen. On it were the latest satellite images showing the nation of Xharn and the Novacom blockade. At the opposite wall was a large aquarium tank filled with all manner of odd sealife native to the Klatch.

In front of the screen and seated at the head of the table was an enourmous walrus. He wore a richly coloured vest and shriner-like hat. At the arrival of the first delegates he bowed and offered his greetings. He identified himself as Ipshi Hagwonak, Chief Ambassador of the Vrak Diplomatic Corps.

The ones from Xharn were next to arrive and were escorted to sit opposed the Franco-Philians. As before, the walrus greeted them and then seemed to slip into deep thought. The skeletal robots stood behind each party silently. Off to the side so as not to obscure the view of the screen were two more robots, presumed to be Ipshi's bodyguard.

"Yes, they fell for it!" said Corporal Neumann, softly so as not to give away their position. Jacobs smiled before speaking into his sound powered telephone.

"Mortar team, give me one round for targeting at the ambush spot." It really wasn't needed, they'd already gotten the weapon aimed, but it'd prove rather embarassing to fire for effect and completely miss.

"Roger that."

A single round puffed out of the mortar tube, and exploded next to one of the APCs, knocking one or two soldiers down. Jacobs grinned, "Fire for effect!"

*pop* *pop* *pop*

Ten rounds were fired in thirty seconds, all thermobaric. The 60mm mortar had a kill radius of only 5 yards, but with thermobaric rounds, everyone within that kill radius would die.

Off to the right of the main body of guerillas, Mike Walsh waited with his sniper rifle. In his scope was someone who appeared to be in charge, ordering the soldiers around and getting them prepared for action Now, that just won't do, he thought as he calmly pulled the trigger.

The Sargent and four others went down. The Sniper wound nailed him in the chest mortaility wounding him. The Four other soldiers were hit by one of the motars directly and were killed almost instantly.

The others start to run as the patrol starts to reverse and head away. The problem is it is a very slow process moving that many APC's in reverse...

One of the Sargents radios for help.....


L.T. Harris of the Royal 9th Armored Brigade was starting to getting reports of the surpise attack.

The L.T. heads to radio the Royal Xharnian Aircore for Gunship support....

The fight, if one could call the one-sided attack a fight, had lasted barely a minute when Corporal Neumann gave the order to pull out.

"Sir, are you sure about that? We haven't even received fire from them yet," asked Jacobs, who was still a little wet behind the ears.

"Right, yet. The key to guerilla warfare is attacking where you aren't expected, and getting away before they can really engage you. Shoot and skedaddle. Remember, a set piece battle is death for us against a regular force, even if we outnumber them."

"Gotcha," Jacobs said. "Smith, give them another missile and then head back into the forest. Mortar, start heading back now. Everyone else, start leapfrogging back 10 seconds after Smith fires."

Smart move thought Neumann, or maybe just dumb luck. Normally you'd fire smoke to cover the retreat, but in all likelihood, the Xharnian military didn't know where the guerillas were and the smoke would have given away their position.

A missile spiraled towards the APC closest to making a getaway and Neumann prepared to leave the battlefield.

Xharn, we would like to inform you that sattelite images have picked up some kind of trouble in your nation.

We can't figure out what it is, but it looks like a infantrey attack of some kind.

ooc: This thread has really fallen to the wayside, thought I'd bump it to bring it back to the forefront and to get some of the talks underway as soon as everyone is ready

The Kahanistan Navy waited at the Novan blockade line. They had permission to cross, but were going to wait and see how the peace talks turned out before extracting refugees and risking a firefight with the Xharnians.

The Xharnian Navy would not know about the poor defensive capacities of the Kahanistan ships, which appeared as good as their own...

"Negotiations have failed? Move them in."

After the fleet commander spoke, the vessels were about a day's sailing from Xharn...

HIVE:

The X.R.I.C. Intel Officer Donny Grayson was recieving reports from the spy satelites that a large formation of ships was passing through the Novacom blockade and was heading towards Xharn.

The X.R.I.C. Intel Officer then checked the Radar system which seemed to also confirm increase activity coming Xharn's way


The Intel Officer Donny Grayson sent the information to his superiors and they sent it to The Royal Xharnian High Command...


The King Carl Von Ericson read the reports and recieved the photos from the satelite imaging and after checking with earlier data base records figured this must be the Kahanistan Navy going to save the poltical refugees from the big bad king of Xharn.

The King Carl Von Ericson laughed and saids, "The Kahanistan Navy is coming towards us with the supposed intent of saving our citizens.

I personally believe the more likely scenario is they seek to help Novacom and Velkya invade our Kingdom."


The Royal Xharnian High Command quickly nod there heads in aggreement.

The Kahanistan Government said they were coming with enough room to hold 100,000 people, Which to the Xharnian Commanders "suggested" that they were coming with enough room to hold a large invasion force..

The King Carl Von Ericson waited a few minutes for his Commanders to debate and discuss proper actions, The King then cleared his throat and said,

"The proper action is to destroy them. We told them in the first place they were not welcomed and they are even now heading into our waters! They have proven they have no respect for our soverignty and that implies a threat to our Holy Kingdom."


The Royal Xharnian High Command could not agree more with the King's thinking on the matter.


The King Carl Von Ericson then saids, "Supreme Fleet Marshal Dylan Hunt, You are herby ordered to gather your three remaning fleets and destroy the Kahanistan ships before they can reach our coast and "rescue" anyone after all they are proving to be a threat to the Kingdom."

The Supreme Fleet Marshal Dylan Hunt stands up and said, "The Royal Xharnian Navy exists to serve the Kingdom!"

The Supreme Fleet Marshal then salutes his King and comrades as he heads towards his office within the Hive to give his Fleet Marshal's there orders...

_________________________________________________________________

Roughly several Hours later

The Fleets had been preped and given the lastest Satelite intel.

The Fleet Marshal's were nervious but ready as they all comence there fleets out of there specific Naval bases and head out towards open sea to intercept and attack the Kahanistan ships before they could threaten the Kingdom with a possiable invasion force...

________________________________________________________________


"Go'ad No'kul is at port, and secure. The Guard reports that it looks like the Xharnians are preparing for an inspection of the ship." Said the Security Officer, small submachine gun strapped to his stomach, he was a tall man, his pale, oddly red tinged skin pegging him as an Adapt. The light in the conference room was bright, and steady, yet somehow managed to miss the faces of all assembled.

"When you recieve clearance to begin the operation, make sure the drivers understand their orders. They're to offload the supplies and make ready for hospital cases. Medical trucks are to meet Xharnian officers here. They'll direct you to the hospitals. From there, we'll deal with cases that are delivered by the Xharnians." Said the man, arms crossed over his broadchest, his perpetual frown set like stone.

"Have the surveillance drones dismantled and place the parts in the Helicopter's gear bay. We can claim they're spare parts. I'd like to be honest, but they'd probably make a hell of a fuss, not to mention arrest us all." He shrugged at the assembled officers. "Have the manifest ready, and report to me any problems."

"Oh." Said an officer, checking the communications console in front of him. "XRIC agents confirmed. Inspection team consists of XRIC agents..."

The collective crowd drew in a breath. They knew this was a possibility.

"Right. Well this means you all have to be extra cautious. They are trained in sniffing out inconsistencies. You have your orders. Do it."


The traditional Black Van's used by X.R.I.C. agents appeared as two of them parked at a nearby parking lot near the port.


The Black Vans opened and ten people came out of both of them...


The first group of five looked like a small Commando unit with there bullet proof vests, Black sun glasses, and black military style boots..

They were all openly armed:

One of them had a Dragunov SVD sniper rifle and a communication headset. He quickly seperates from the group and heads towards a building that towers over the ship.

The other four were packing UZI's they follow behind the first group that came out.


The First group do not look like a commando unit they seem more like characters in the men in black video with there dark sunglasses, black ties, and shoes ect...


They seemed to be lead by a woman of Asian desceant that was about 4ft 8". The other four however seemed bigger more frightening....

____________________________________________________________


The Franco-Philian delegates were ushered into the conference room. One wall had a small buffet table loaded with mostly seafood items, although the pretty young woman aboard each transport said that one can request whatever they wished.

The other wall had a huge display screen. On it were the latest satellite images showing the nation of Xharn and the Novacom blockade. At the opposite wall was a large aquarium tank filled with all manner of odd sealife native to the Klatch.

In front of the screen and seated at the head of the table was an enourmous walrus. He wore a richly coloured vest and shriner-like hat. At the arrival of the first delegates he bowed and offered his greetings. He identified himself as Ipshi Hagwonak, Chief Ambassador of the Vrak Diplomatic Corps.

The ones from Xharn were next to arrive and were escorted to sit opposed the Franco-Philians. As before, the walrus greeted them and then seemed to slip into deep thought. The skeletal robots stood behind each party silently. Off to the side so as not to obscure the view of the screen were two more robots, presumed to be Ipshi's bodyguard.

The Minister of Intelligence Baroness Alice Rose starts to speak to her aides in Latin.

The Baroness hopes that these people of Vrak do not understand the language used by the Xharnian Elite....

________________________________________________________________

The fight, if one could call the one-sided attack a fight, had lasted barely a minute when Corporal Neumann gave the order to pull out.

"Sir, are you sure about that? We haven't even received fire from them yet," asked Jacobs, who was still a little wet behind the ears.

"Right, yet. The key to guerilla warfare is attacking where you aren't expected, and getting away before they can really engage you. Shoot and skedaddle. Remember, a set piece battle is death for us against a regular force, even if we outnumber them."

"Gotcha," Jacobs said. "Smith, give them another missile and then head back into the forest. Mortar, start heading back now. Everyone else, start leapfrogging back 10 seconds after Smith fires."

Smart move thought Neumann, or maybe just dumb luck. Normally you'd fire smoke to cover the retreat, but in all likelihood, the Xharnian military didn't know where the guerillas were and the smoke would have given away their position.

A missile spiraled towards the APC closest to making a getaway and Neumann prepared to leave the battlefield.

The second APC was hit directly and the front part of the APC was instantly destroyed by the Javelin's missile.

The people in the APC's were frightened this was the first time they had ever been attacked in there own turf and it's a scary feeling when suddenly your home is an instant hit and run battle field...

Two AH-1W Super Cobra's were heading towards the scene they had been patroling nearby and were called to offer support.

The Cobra's begin hunting for the hostiles that attacked the patrol there orders search and destroy....

The huge walrus inclined his head. Although Vrak wasn't known to be a strong in the linguistical department, its diplomatic corps and its secret service, the VIS, was. Ipshi leveled a gaze at the Alice Rose and then spoke to the entire room.

"We understand and respect your need to discuss affairs in your own tongue. But when addressing others in the room you will use standard English or we can provide a translator if you need."

He conveniently did not mention that the entire conference would be secretly recorded. Ipshi allowed himself a grin and thought that even an amateur diplomat should foresee that possibility and plan accordingly. Then, as if another thought occured to him, he spoke again.

"Before the actual conference begins, I would ask that each party identify themselves. As well, and this can be decided upon by those gathered, but do you wish these discussions to be closed or open? We do have several news services that can carry this back to your own nation if you so wish."

Didier Remy stood and the two aides silently and obediently did as well. The minster spoke in a heavy French accent as he introduced himself.
"I am Minister Didier Remy, head of state in Franco-Philia and represenative of all the Francophonie." He sat down again, shifting uncomfortably, not used to being adressed by walruses.

At sea, in the blockade line around Xharn

Aboard the HIMS Constantine, there was a bustle of activity as the fleet joined the blockade against Xharn. A young ensign emerged from his station in the communications room and walked down the corridor to Admiral Müntefering's office.

"Admiral, satellite recon reports that the Xharnian navy is preparing to sortie. ONI thinks that they're going to attack the Kahanistani fleet," he said, laying copies of the satellite pictures and ONI estimates on the table.

"Is that so? Send a message to the rest of the fleet. We shall take up a position in the blockade line from where we can support the Kahanistani Navy. The instant that the Xharnians fire, I want the superdreadnought escorts to fire a volley of anti-shipping missiles, under the normal loads of course. That should put an end to that threat, and if not, we have more missiles and the Constantine herself."

[OOC: König-class SDENs have 35,380 VLS tubes with two reloads. A standard load is half cruise missiles (anti-shipping ones for this operation) and half SAMs. I have two of them on hand.]

Somewhere in Xharn

Crap thought Neumann as he heard the chop of helicopter blades. He wasn't the only one to hear them though, and before he could yell to Jacobs, two Stinger missiles launched, one towards each helo. Meanwhile, the guerilla team scattered as they ran into the forest, to lower the chances that any one individual would be attacked and prevent group kills.

"WHAT!!!"The SSu yelled,returning from a confrence with another allie."Why should we care if Xharn gets nuked?"A advisor said,"Because,if Xharn gets nuked,the winds will carrie all the fallout HERE,YOU ****!!.Inact code B7R."

To: Supreme Soviet Unifyed Jason Mikoyan

The dangers of nuclear fallout have been greatly exagerated. There is no threat to your country from a nuclear war, especially as the use of groundbursts, which cause the most fallout, will be very limited in the event of such. Bear in mind that any attack on our nuclear forces, succesful or not, will result in a follow up nuclear strike on your nation. We suggest that, if you are truly that concerned, that you join any war against Xharn and grant permission for the currently embarked Second Marine Expeditionary Force to stage from your soil

Sincerely,
His Imperial Majesty, Paul VII

[OOC: And most people would consider that laser to be a godmode]

Coded addendum to message to Usea-Jason:


Should you allow our Marines to stage from your soil, we are willing to "arrange" for some Löwe and König Löwe tank destroyers to find their way into your arsenal. The Löwe is capable of taking on any tank and winning, while the König Löwe is able to take on and destroy ultraheavy battle tanks.

Top Secret Message From Tech-Com Corporation to Xharnian Goverment
"We have noticed that your enemies have sea superiority. We can help fix that with several weapons. Take you pick...

LRASM-50: The Long Range, Anti-Surface Missile(LRASM) is a mach-1, sea skimming, missile with a 500 pound warhead. The LRASM can be fired from air and surface platforms, although there are range differences between the two. The LRASM uses one of two navigation systems, Radar-guided(for antiship warheads) or Inertial Guidance(for all the rest). The types of warheads the LRASM uses are Anti-Ship, Anti-Structure, Deep Penetration(bunker busting), and chemical warhead(this last one is also capable of carrying cluster bomblets of varying types). The anti-ship version of the LRASM is a good weapon against Frigates and Destroyers... moderately effective against light cruisers, anything bigger and its effectiveness REALLY begins to drop. The high speeds(mach-1+) of the LRASM and sea-skimming makes it difficult to hit with anti-missile fire. Can be launched from the following platforms: Aircraft, TEL(Transporter-Erector-Launcher) Trucks, and VLS tubes. Note that the Air-Launched Varients have a range of 110 miles. Thats five miles less then the surface launched variant. 150,000 per missile.

ASD-02 Ultra Heavy Torepedo: This is a large, unguided, yet EXTREMELY powerful torepedo. Capable of ripping a good sized hole in ANY Super-Dreadnought, this torepedo offers a inexpensive way of destroying a SD. Our recommendation for it is to swarm the enemy fleet with PT boats armed with these torepedos. If you put enough in the water, you'll achieve at least a couple of hits on the SD. Those that miss may or maynot hit its escorts, which is a bonus. The primary problems associated with this torepedo is its short range and the complete and utter lack of a guidance system. It is amazingly easy and cheap to manufacture however. 3,000 Dollars per torepedo.

We hope these products will satisfy your needs.

PS:All of those ABMMs you ordered have arrived by now."

OOC: Aside from the ridiculously low prices of those, can we please stop with the "We'll send you a whole bunch of weapons that magically get past the blockade" ads?

OOC:A Tomahawk Cruise Missile costs 500,000 dollars(last time I looked anyways)... and it has bigger warhead, much longer range, and the capacity to carry a NUCLEAR warhead. I fail to see how that would count as rediculously low price... unlesss your talking about the torpedo, in which case, I am not sure how much it would cost to cram several tons of C6 into a watertight container with a crude propellar attached. Ill review.

And whoever said they were going through the blockade? Ever heard of airtravel and round-a-bout routes?

Nuclear capability is irrelevant, and a supersonic sea-skimming missile is going to be far more expensive than that. You're talking about greater capability than a Harpoon for a quarter the price.


I fail to see how that would count as rediculously low price... unlesss your talking about the torpedo, in which case, I am not sure how much it would cost to cram several tons of C6 into a watertight container with a crude propellar attached. Ill review.

RL torps are millions each. And several tons of "C6" would cost far more than 3K by itself, as well as making for a huge torpedo that didn't fit any of the standard calibers (even the Long Lance torpedo only had about a thousand pounds of HE)


And whoever said they were going through the blockade? Ever heard of airtravel and round-a-bout routes?

To ship that many, you need sea travel or a very long time period, longer than you've RPed.

OOC:... Hold on one moment while I go look up some information... what was the name of that humongous Russian Civilian Cargo plane? An-1something... hold on.

EDIT:OKAY! The An225, one of the worlds largest cargo planes, blah, blah, blah... HERE WE GO! Can carry 250 Metric Tons MAX. I wonder how much a fully loaded MDM-5C Launcher would weigh?

OOC:... Hold on one moment while I go look up some information... what was the name of that humongous Russian Civilian Cargo plane? An-2something... hold on.

An-225, could hold up to 250 tons of cargo. That isn't all that much with missiles.

An-225, could hold up to 250 tons of cargo. That isn't all that much with missiles.

Actually its a TONNE, which mean Metric Ton. Now 250 Metric Tons=275.575 'Short' Tons... is that enough? Okay, maybe I should make it that 1/5 of his order has been filled.

Ipshi inclined his head again and said,

"Very well, unless there are any other objections, this conference shall be closed."

He pressed a button and soon an aide came in through a side door. A quick exchange in Vrakian and then the aide disappeared.

"My aide is removing any news crews out of this part of the building as you wished. As well, we will be able to provide escort so that you do not have to face the media. Now..."

A glance down and then a wave of his flipper.

"...I want to keep this as informal as possible. I emphasize again that this is not a courtroom but I would like the delegates to recognize each other's right to speak. As for Vrak, we do not benefit at all from this conference so therefore we are neutral regarding this whole affair. Would anyone care to go first?"

Unfortunately, Henry was blown to little bits of flesh before he could reload. Marcus, however, managed to fire off another missile before the incoming Hellfire missiles splattered him across the landscape. Silently, Corporal Neumann thanked them. Their sacrifice had allowed the rest of the guerilla band to escape. A smile crept across his face. This wasn't the only band. Hundreds of others were scattered across Xharn, and many would also be attacking today. A lot of the Xharnian military would be tied down trying to deal with them, and be unable to react to an invasion.

Minister Remy stood and spoke:

Franco-Philia is a vanguard of civil and political rights and are appaled by Xharn. After careful study of the Novacom issue we are in complete agreement with Novacom in Xharn's inflexibility and complete lack of diplomacy. We believe that Xharn should be forced to give government subsideries to the families of the murdered protesters and also to give a public and internationally recognized apology. We thank you, Vrak for holding this conference and believe very much so in the continuing of these discussions so as not to allow thos innocent protestors to have died in vain.
The Minister sat down, a bit flustered, waiting for the next response.

Vrak

Bowing Gently towards the Vrak Ambassador, "I am Foreign Minister Hugoro Sarestus, We have never restricted anyone's right to speak, however I would like to make this clear, we have other greivances against Xharn, not just the present situation previous talks on the issue failed, peace is not long for this conflict I fear, the Xharn Ambassador at the prior meeting issued an ultimatum for us to withdraw our blockade within a week or, how did he put it, ah yes "Face the Consequences" that was 4 days ago and we have no intention of withdrawing our blockade."

Beside the Minister stood the tall gaunt figure of one Valcus Torrodell from the previous talks, and to the other stood Black Skull Enforcer Colonel Giznell, behing them slightly stood another Black Skull Enforcer.

"I beleive that the media should be allowed to stay, this is an important issue and it's implications are obvious either way, it would not do to conceal the outcome as it may put at ease a great deal many people" Descending into a three chairs the group takes the room in at a glance, Hugoro especially recognised several, of the others present, Sighing gently he waits for whats next, his instincts tell him this will go nowhere but best give peace another chance.

Beside him Valcus visually bristles at the presence of yet another Xharnian, he remembered being callously insulted by the last one, he was not one to be insulted lightly however being with his superior his revenge would likely be delayed, or would it.

Xharn

"Atention Xharn fleet if you do not cease and desist your attacks on the Kahanistanians we will sink your fleet, this is your first and final warning be advised continuation of this course of action will incriminate you in war crimes regardless of your position in the command chain," would be transmitted over the airwaves before they were promptly blotted out by potent jamming waves.

Fully 100 Vonsulas Submarines would advance forward with the rest of the Novacom fleet looming over like a dark cliff, already launches were in progress, Hijir swarmed into the air like a ferocious insect storm, a sentiment ominously ironic, as a good proportion of them were of the Viggen model, a type designed for remote control by a combination of organic pilot and by a powerful AI system known as IXION, they would fly faster manoever better and fight harder than any living pilot, with an efficiency that had previously not existed, not even in the most experienced corps of the Novacom Pilot divisions Hijir Viggen swarmed into a threatening position ready to lance forward and deal death and destruction in equal amounts.

General Kivak onboard his flagship Hrental looked on forlornly, war was comming, but he would not let his despair at this damage his mens morale, instead bearing a proud facade his profesiionaly pride evaporating rampant despair he strode proudly onto the bridge filling the air with confidence, ready for war the crew now were, preparations had been completed a week ago, and a massive logistics operation had been set up, over 8 million men had been mobilised for it, almost 2 thirds of the Military Command that had been assembled for the Invasion, naturally he didn't include the navy in that number, once the first phase was complete the navy would be relegated to secondary duties, or se he thought.

From SSU Jason Mikoyan,
To all countries in this ordeal.
We of the UUSS will as of now Halt all traid with the countries in this ordeal,in a effort to negate any involvement in this conflict.the borders to the UUSS are going to be gaurded,and ships to the region in mentioned stoped.Even at that,the Tatical Laser System that blankets theUUSS and Xharn will not drop,Yet will only fire at threats of Usea-Jaon,non else.And to the Xharn Forces still in Usea-Jason,Please return to your home,you are needed there more than ever.Thank you.

OOC: Novacom, please edit your post. You are allowed to have a maximum of four people in your party; a main pointman, an aide, and two bodyguards. To be fair, I can see why you may not have known. I made an assumption in post #77 that everyone attending was informed. As well, in post #87 there are no weapons allowed. I can't tell if your Enforcers are armed or not.

IC:

Ipshi inclined his head towards the Foreign Minister of Novacom.

"Of course, Foreign Minister. We only want everyone to be given an equal chance to speak. My apologies if my remarks were miscontrued. We didn't mean to imply that yourselves or anyone else here would strive to silence others."

To All the countries attempting to attack Xharn.
I, Supreme Soviet Unifyed Jason Mikoyan,Have Inacted my countries Tactical defence for all attacks on The Union of Usean Soviet States and the Kingdom of Xharn.Next time,consider what you do,for we also have nuklear weapons,and if anything happens to my country,You will pay.

Official Imperial Response

Any use of nuclear weapons by either side will be met with all due force by the Imperium itself. When you consider that the payload of a single one of our nuclear-equipped satellites recently launched into the atmosphere could level an entire country, or that Banduria currently has well over 20,000 nuclear ICBMs activated, you would do well to listen to this.

Lord Antor Sampetra
Grand Field Marshal and Supreme Commander of the Imperial Armed Forces

Minister Remy stood and spoke:

Franco-Philia is a vanguard of civil and political rights and are appaled by Xharn. After careful study of the Novacom issue we are in complete agreement with Novacom in Xharn's inflexibility and complete lack of diplomacy. We believe that Xharn should be forced to give government subsideries to the families of the murdered protesters and also to give a public and internationally recognized apology. We thank you, Vrak for holding this conference and believe very much so in the continuing of these discussions so as not to allow thos innocent protestors to have died in vain.
The Minister sat down, a bit flustered, waiting for the next response.

The Minister of Intelligence Baroness Alice Rose almost laughed at the demands of the Franco-Phillian Minster, She thinks to herself privately, "When H_ll freezes over."

The Baroness stands up and saids,

"The Royal Xharnian Government does not give money to the families of traitors and dissidents. If we were still under the reign of King Azure IV there families would most likely be dead or forced to work in one of the many work camps in Xharn.

There families however were pardon from there realtives crimes by the genoristy of our current King Carl Von Ericson."

_________________________________________________________________


Vrak

Bowing Gently towards the Vrak Ambassador, "I am Foreign Minister Hugoro Sarestus, We have never restricted anyone's right to speak, however I would like to make this clear, we have other greivances against Xharn, not just the present situation previous talks on the issue failed, peace is not long for this conflict I fear, the Xharn Ambassador at the prior meeting issued an ultimatum for us to withdraw our blockade within a week or, how did he put it, ah yes "Face the Consequences" that was 4 days ago and we have no intention of withdrawing our blockade."

Beside the Minister stood the tall gaunt figure of one Valcus Torrodell from the previous talks, and to the other stood Black Skull Enforcer Colonel Giznell, a quartet of Gold Skull Enforcers stood back at a respectful distance their faces impassive.

"I beleive that the media should be allowed to stay, this is an important issue and it's implications are obvious either way, it would not do to conceal the outcome as it may put at ease a great deal many people" Descending into a three chairs the group takes the room in at a glance, Hugoro especially recognised several, of the others present, Sighing gently he waits for whats next, his instincts tell him this will go nowhere but best give peace another chance.

Beside him Valcus visually bristles at the presence of yet another Xharnian, he remembered being callously insulted by the last one, he was not one to be insulted lightly however being with his superior his revenge would likely be delayed, or would it.

_________________________________________________________________


The Minister of Intelligence Baroness Alice Rose still in her seated postion adds to the Novacom comments,

"Yes, We did give you that ultimatum, however the demands you made during those diplomatic talks were totally outrageous to say the least. If my fellow X.R.I.C. Commander Daniel Leer the head of X.R.I.C. Bureau number 2 said correctly your demands were the following:

1. All Xharnian Warships return to home port to which they have already done so..

2. You demanded the officers and surrivors obliterated Xharnian Royal 3rd Fleet, along with the commanders who issiued there orders to stand trial for there crimes agaisnt your nation.

That was the demand that X.R.I.C. Commander Daniel Leer refused those few surrivors have already been through enough and if we gave you all your demands half of the Xharnian Naval Officer Core would be in trial along with the Supreme Fleet Marshal Dylan Hunt. Who if I may add is a member of the Royal Xharnian High Command, That was totally unacceptable these men fought for there nation and our records point out ships that registered as Novacom fired upon them first...

3. The third issiue was paying a sum of money to the families of killed Novacom sailors who died by our hand at the Naval battle near Xirnium.

X.R.I.C. Commander Daniel Leer after alot of arguing agreed to this demand which for the love of the Dark Sun, I don't know why?"

Unfortunately, Henry was blown to little bits of flesh before he could reload. Marcus, however, managed to fire off another missile before the incoming Hellfire missiles splattered him across the landscape. Silently, Corporal Neumann thanked them. Their sacrifice had allowed the rest of the guerilla band to escape. A smile crept across his face. This wasn't the only band. Hundreds of others were scattered across Xharn, and many would also be attacking today. A lot of the Xharnian military would be tied down trying to deal with them, and be unable to react to an invasion.

The AH-1W Super Cobra was hit on the tail and the helecoptor went down. The Pilot and his comrade hit into the ground and the helecoptor crashes upon impact to the ground. The Co-pilot was killed but the pilot was still alive but barley from the crashing injury..

The Bands of guerilla's had done much of the same amount of damage all across Xharn and the Xharnian Royal High Command was notified.

The Xharnian Royal Intelligence Core (X.R.I.C.) was ordered to begin having there Extermination Squads ready for more than just patroling heavy population centers soon these bands of State sanaction killers would be after the Guerilla's and there families....

My Nation Strictly codemns such a brutual abuse of force against ones own people. The forces that were setup in place to serve the people have been used against.The immune system to proctect the body has started to consume the body but system wont last long with acts either.Thus my nation warns against any such outward act and advises to use force in little moderate degree.The people have a right to express their thought and desire and it is with their will that they can be ruled and no army can control them for long. Thus we advise all world leaders to win the hearts of its people instead of bursting them.

OOC: CHanging it, hadn't realised.

IC: Hugoro Smirked at the mention of Xharn's Previous King, "and if he had still been alive you would have been at war already, except not just with Novacom but with Xirnium, Velkya, Kahanistan and Yallak but to name just a few. The Demands made were not unreasonable, expecially since it was Xharn which fired first, and we have proof to the effect, while we understand the circumstances however, any leighway that may have been given ended when your fleet continued their attack after being warned, if the damage done by your fleet's incompetent actions had been severe you would already find yourselves at war with us," leaning back in the chair smugly twidling a Jewel case in his left hand, he held all the cards in respect of proof and he knew it, they would reach an agreement that saw justice done, or no agreement would be came to at all.

Deciding that he had not yet done enough pricking of the Xharnian's ego he continues, "You must also remember however that unless your Dylan Hunt would not be standing trial unless he was the none who gave the order to fire, we have a set of laws in Novacom known as the Voronzel Jindrax War Law Accord, it states that military officers may be held accountable for crimes of war for negligence or passive complicity, they also make specific allusion to outbreak of war, under these any part of your command chain that relayed orders for the attack without questioning them and refusing to relay them can be charged with instigation of war, now unless your fleet's folly at Xirnium was planned by your Fleet Marshall in which case the matter becomes very serious, then he has little to worry about. Especially as you twist my words to suit you, we only want those who gave the orders to attack our fleets there."

Pausing to take a drink and smile knowingly around the table, although he was being reasonable now he himself didn't see that lasting long, at this rate the debate would fast become polarised, hopefully there was facility for playing what was on the disk, Black Skull Enforcer Lieutenant Dorlas had been onboard the NMS Kenzal and could act as witness if needed, though laughing inwardly, the chances of this woman styling herself as a Baronness beleiving any of it were beyond nil.



Novacom Diplomatic Directive

From: Novacom Council of Ministers, Suprainister Denteth Tolion
To:Supreme Soviet Unifyed Jason Mikoyan

Cease your rediculous posturing or else we shall be forced to invade your nation as well, Launching of any Nuclear weapons will result in harsh retaliation, if you have any sense you will withdraw from this debacle before we or others grow weary of your pathetic stance. Your threats of cutting off trade mean nothing as your nation has yet to produce anything of sufficient quality to be granted the privellege of being imported, indeed it will be your nation that suffers.

The Message is signed in an indecipherable language, propably Novan

Ipshi sighed and then bowed to the Novacom and Franco-Philian representatives.

"I hadn't realized, Foreign Minister Hugoro Sarestus, that your nation and Xharn have had...previous contact to this affair. Still, I'm certain some type of deal can be reached. What would both the nations of Novacom and Franco-Philia want to see the nation of Xharn do? And..."

Inclining his head to Alice Rose.

"What is Xharn willing to do?"

Waving a hand casually at this, "Think Nothing of it, you could say that we are responsible for Xharn's new king, their prior king threatened Nuclear war against ourselves and our allies when we ordered them to leave Xirnium waters which they had entered without permission under the pretence of war games ton in fact insert a team into our ally Xirnium, the reason why is as of yet unknown, We suspect however though that the threat of war from considerably larger nations gave the present king an excuse to usurp from the previous king, it is in essence trading one evil for another sadly," His face broke out in a gentle smile, his eyes hardening slightly even as a gentle warmth seems to emenate from him.

"I digress however, we will consider the matter dismissed if Xharn submits to the demands we stated, however any further arguing against the points will see the offer withdrawn in favour of stronger terms, and if this matter comes to war and victory is attained all Xharn Governmental official will first be tried in Novacom Courts for crimes under Novacom law, and then tried again for their crimes as presented by other nations."

Inclining his head in apology to the Vrak Ambassador he addresses him now,"I do apologise Ambassador for my bringing such harsh words to the table so soon, however the situation is grave and swift action is needed, no Novan can stand idly by and discuss things like this in comitee, action is needed now or else a peace that we all treasure so dearly will be lost to the all consuming fires of war," his eyes burn with a fierce passion as he makes this last statement, his expression a cross between pride, aplogy and determination.

Le Ministre stood again:

Franco-Philia is absolutely disgusted by this nation. They are inflexible, crude, and we do not see much being accomplished through this. I say now as, by my right as Minister of the Fatherland, that if Xharn continues standing against civil rights and against Novacom, we will support Novacom with money, weapons, and might even intervene ourselves if we see fit. We are growing more and more disgusted with Xharn and grow more and more in accord with Novacom.

Msr. Remy sat down again, a bit flustered.

The Minister of Intelligence Baroness Alice Rose responds, " If I may state openly. The Supreme Fleet Marshal Dylan Hunt has direct orders to defend the United Holy Kingdom of Xharn from all hostile threats and if our satelites and Radar are telling the truth your Fleet litterly chased ours out of the region and threatened war if they did not head back to home port.

To a Xharnian Military Commander that implies that not only is Novacom trying to harrass our ships at sea which to us is an act of piracy.

The Supreme Fleet Marshal Dylan Hunt probally, figured if you could threaten that you would also start raiding our comerical shipping and blockading our nation to better capture our Comerical Fleet.

Thus in the Xharnian High Command's point of view the Novacom forces were the aggressors and had to be dealt with or as we can clearly see the larger aggressor nations would start invade our soverign nation."

The Baroness had emphasised several words......

Inclining his head to Alice Rose.

"What is Xharn willing to do?"


The Royal Xharnian Government feels it has been reasonable considering the circumstances. If Novacom's Fleet does not leave within the time limit our King and Xharnian Royal High Command will declare war and our Military forces will do everything in there power to remove the Novan scourge off our coastal waters...

She seems to have a smile at the last part....

The Baroness replies, "Your use of the word evil is hardly acceptable, King Carl Von Ericson is not evil he is justed stressed and over worked thanks to your blockade and the now constant guerillia attacks which the high command suspects was started by Novacom's government to harrass our military before your now evident invasion."

At the term trading one evil the X.R.I.C. agents stiffing up. They are trained to be extermely loyal to the Xharnian Royal High Command and to the King.

Msr. Remy sat down again, a bit flustered.


The Baroness mearly shurgs and saids in response, "If the nation of Franco-Phillia is caught openly helping Novacom. The United Holy Kingdom of Xharn will consider them part of the problem and if it comes down to our defense. I can not openly promise your nation's civillians will be safe from retailation."

The X.R.I.C. agents smile at that last part....

Le Minister stood quickly, "is caught?" Didier Remy chuckled a bit. Your king can know that Franco-Philia will do nothing underhanded, and we will use our vast resourced economically and medically to aid anyone who goes against you if you do not bend on these issues quite publically. If need be we will not only just intervene from the sidelines. Your growing arrogance is nothing more but swinging bait before us to declare war, and although FP is not a warmongering nation we will have no qualms in aiding in invading/blockading your nation or anything esle for that matter. You have our demands: that you give an apology for actions and reimburse the families; in addition we have overviewed our intelligence on the Novacom issue and belief you to be quite in the wrong. If you do not meet the demands we will be forced to intervene, possibly WITH Novacom. Remy inclined his head with an inquisitive eye to the Novacom delegate as he sat back down.

Closing his eyes leaning back and chuckling gently, all the while Valcus snoring gently, before making a great show of waking up groggily clapping wildly for the Xharnian, "Wonderful, wondeful such passion such vigour I was rivetted surely," WIth a sinister leer and a knife edge to his voice he slams a giant fist down on the table, "Just listen to this she devil of a witch, she can't even keep her story straight, before it was claims of us firing on them and now she's dropped her poisonous words for the even more dreadful truth, how can any of us trust words from foolishly proud sucubii who have neither the sense nor political savvy to realise that they face one of 2 choices, aquiesce to the demands of Novacom and the international community, immediatly or condemn yourselves as a people and a nation to certain doom," by now Valcus had leaned across the table his cerulean eyes bulging and full of passion, his expression one of fierce fury and his very being trembling with indignation.

"Valcus" emenated from Hugoro his eyes opened to slits, Rising grandly from his seat and approaching Remy slowly but with serious purpose, "We will stand together," Slowly bringing out a Novacom Symbol, one that appeared ancient, "Now if you truly wish to stand with us then place your hand on the center and repeat after me," COmposing himself he begins to speak slowly a set of words, the room emenates grandly with them, the words sound both filled with hope and pride for a future where peace and happiness endure for hope of a better tommorow, the Language would be unknown to all but the Novans, it was their home tougue, Novan the words themselves were an ancient covenant, words always used to express a binding alliance of friendship.

Valcus leaning back in his chair renewed his assault on the supposed Baroness, "Your forces had no right to be in Xirnium territory, you forfeited all innocence when you entered Xirnium and now, you shall pay the cost, you have 24 hours to formally surrender to Novacom or your nation will be declared a hostile threat to the world, one that must be elminated through force, the fires of war shall descend upon your nation, your capitol beseiged your navy sent to the murky depths your king dragged from his throne by his hair by one he considered close and a new dawn for your people, an order where your people may live in true peace and happiness and the spectre of war brought on by a false king shall be banished from the lands and the world will now peace and prosperity." All of this spoken proudly, while Valcus may not have the people skills of Hugoro he certainly could give a rousing speech.

Closing his eyes leaning back and chuckling gently, all the while Valcus snoring gently, before making a great show of waking up groggily clapping wildly for the Xharnian, "Wonderful, wondeful such passion such vigour I was rivetted surely," WIth a sinister leer and a knife edge to his voice he slams a giant fist down on the table, "Just listen to this she devil of a witch, she can't even keep her story straight, before it was claims of us firing on them and now she's dropped her poisonous words for the even more dreadful truth, how can any of us trust words from foolishly proud sucubii who have neither the sense nor political savvy to realise that they face one of 2 choices, aquiesce to the demands of Novacom and the international community, immediatly or condemn yourselves as a people and a nation to certain doom," by now Valcus had leaned across the table his cerulean eyes bulging and full of passion, his expression one of fierce fury and his very being trembling with indignation.

All of this spoken proudly, while Valcus may not have the people skills of Hugoro he certainly could give a rousing speech.

Remy placed his hand on the symbol and repeated after the Novacom delegate. He was glad to assist them in anyways. After he was done he bowed to the delegate and retirned to his aides speaking hastily in French with them before adressign the conference once again...

"Franco-Philia is sick of this prattle from Xharn and this wretched delegate they have sent we agree wtih Novacom and believe that Xharn should cease and desist all actions, surrender to Novacom and meet our demands regarding the protesters. If not, we will also decalre your nation a danger to the international community." Remy sat down again, angrily chattering with his nearest and trusted aid in hushed French.

The Baroness had enough, She responds quickly, "The United Holy Kingdom of Xharn has one thing to say to both of your nations, Rot in h_ll!"

With that she stands up and heads out to get back home. Her X.R.I.C. aides follow her without question. The Kingdom had given it's message to Novacom and Franco-Phillia...

"XRIC Incoming!" Whispered one of the Guard, into his radio, before standing to attention and saluting the oncoming SUV, gun slung behind him.

Not long after, a man in a grey suit with a perpetual scowl, and a slight limp walked down the ramp, eyeing the men assembled the way a horse owner might look in a thoroughbred's mouth, before buying it.

"I'm Mason, commander of the Medical and logistics personnel aboard the Go'ad." He didn't shake. He never shook hands. "I understand you want to search the ship before we do what we came here to do." His scowl became momentarily deeper. "I allow it, but only because I don't see any point in getting any more bogged down in beuracracy than actually necessary. I'll have the first mate provide you with a manifest immediately, and if you need anything, please, notify me. All aboard this ship are neutral parties to this mess, and as such, they all report to me, and I report to the Red Cross."

He wondered if his tone was any better than a school teacher's, telling the new students to play nice with everyone.

"Welcome aboard the Go'ad No'kul, or, if you don't speak Kasimian, the Virgin's Bosom."

The Kahanistan Navy's warships may have been lightly crewed, but their commanders were among the best in the fleet.

"Admiral, there are three fleets of Xharnian warships approaching. ETA in four hours."

Not expecting to be attacked, and expecting the Novans to help them if they did come under fire, Admiral Trentin Hughes ordered the fleet to adopt a defensive position, surrounding the transport vessel with the four Kirov cruisers and two AEGIS destroyers.

"Do not fire unless fired upon. If it's a fight they want, we'll give them one. Make sure they know our vessels are lightly crewed, we'll have trouble moving and firing weapons at the same time, we're not a threat unless they make us one."

The Kahanistan fleet moved toward Xharnian waters, full speed ahead. The crews might have been skimped on to make space for Xharnian refugees, but the fleet still packed plenty of weapons, and the Cobalt-60 bomb that Minister Delray had mentioned.

"Dispatch an emergency radio message to Admiral Müntefering. We are preparing to engage the Xharnian fleet."

The Small Asian woman in her traditional X.R.I.C uniform looks up at the man and saids, "Hello, I am X.R.I.C. Commander Lisa Cha, I am the head of X.R.I.C. Bureau number 25 our orders are to search your ship as you can already tell. If you require government documents before we may proceed,

I have the signed documents in my suite case. They are all offical and have been signed by one of my superior X.R.I.C. Commander Daniel Leer head of X.R.I.C. Bureau number 2."


The other eight X.R.I.C. agents were much taller and more meanceing four of them were armed openly with mini UZI's.

The other four that did not look like the small commando squad looked like they had concealed pistols in there inner coat pocket.

The fact they were all wearing black sunglasses made it hard to tell what there facial expressions were exactly.

The four without UZI's start to begin there operation of finding any illegal or "non benifical contraband" that this vessel could be carrying...


The X.R.I.C. Commando's stay with there small commander awaiting orders...

To: Novacom
We would like to know, great and venerable nation, if you would like us to help finanicially and medically or if it would be better for us to just go ahead and declare war on Xharn?

The Baroness had enough, She responds quickly, "The United Holy Kingdom of Xharn has one thing to say to both of your nations, Rot in h_ll!"

With that she stands up and heads out to get back home. Her X.R.I.C. aides follow her without question. The Kingdom had given it's message to Novacom and Franco-Phillia...

Ipshi was surprised at the outburst from the Baroness. He was about to say something before hand but then after that display of emotion, thought it wiser to keep quiet.

He watched as the SOATs escorted the Xharnians back to the waiting hypersonic transport which ferried them quickly back to their capital. He turned his head and spoke to the remaining delegates.

"Well, this had gone worse than what I expected. I suppose this is it. I thank you for your coming here to give peace a chance."

With a wave of his flipper, the SOATs escorted the dignitaries back to their transport and soon back to their respective nations.

The news of falling peace talks reached UUSS ears."Why should we care about Xharn?They invaded US remember?"A aid stated."Because,Xharn helped us get rid of the Capitolist terrorist."The SSu retorted,"We have to close our borders to Xharn soon.This may get bad.""Sir,B7R is at full streingth."A General said."Show them our power."

--B7R--
All over Usea-Jason the TLS batteries fired to the sky,turing night to day for miles around.The whole country was light.A show of force indeed.

--Press releace--
"This is a defenceive mesure ONLY.All UUSS forces need not worry.the B7R System will stop anything from entering our airspace.As of now,the border between Xharn and the UUSS is closed untill further notice.

The Kahanistan Navy's warships may have been lightly crewed, but their commanders were among the best in the fleet.

"Admiral, there are three fleets of Xharnian warships approaching. ETA in four hours."

Not expecting to be attacked, and expecting the Novans to help them if they did come under fire, Admiral Trentin Hughes ordered the fleet to adopt a defensive position, surrounding the transport vessel with the four Kirov cruisers and two AEGIS destroyers.

"Do not fire unless fired upon. If it's a fight they want, we'll give them one. Make sure they know our vessels are lightly crewed, we'll have trouble moving and firing weapons at the same time, we're not a threat unless they make us one."

The Kahanistan fleet moved toward Xharnian waters, full speed ahead. The crews might have been skimped on to make space for Xharnian refugees, but the fleet still packed plenty of weapons, and the Cobalt-60 bomb that Minister Delray had mentioned.

"Dispatch an emergency radio message to Admiral Müntefering. We are preparing to engage the Xharnian fleet."

The Xharnian Fleets were together and in a wedge formation. They were hoping to cutt off the Kahanistan Fleet before they could get towards the mainland. They hoped the Kahanistan Navy would be resonable and leave once the Xharnian message was confirmed if not. The Royal Xharnian Navy would destroy the Kahanistani Fleet....

Iluvauromeni 4 'Glorious Sacrifice' Wet Naval Battlegroup, IDS Glorious Sacrifice, International Waters nr. Antarctica

The great Iluvauromeni Battlegroup cut through the waves with minimum resistance.

The Battlegroup was not great in visible numbers, nor was it great in visible size, apart from the mighty size of the leading warship, the IDS Glorious Sacrifice. Glorious Sacrifice was not her original name, but most people liked to forget that.

She herself was great in size, but not height. Semi-submersible, the icy waters beneath her white-grey form shimmer with unholy blue radiance. Her upper deck currently has an unusually blurry aspect, viewed from height; as if her very surface is rippling like the waves of the sea.

It turns out that that isn't far from the truth. Some seconds pass, and gunports not deployed before now connect up to the missile tubes stowed beneath decks. Linked and sealed, the gunports iris open...

Missiles - a veritable cloud of them - vault into the sky, without a roar or a boom. Instead, the buzz and hum, until they're only specks dizzyingly high in sky above. Then the booms arrive, great ripples through the air. Sonic booms.

Meanwhile, several miles away from the bow of the warship, two wings of X# fighter-bombers break the waterline, roaring into the sky with a similar but far more intense buzz. Their sonic booms arrive almost instantly, signalling their far greater acceleration. The bright white light caused by photons spilling away from their propulsive fields probably gives an equal indication of speed - as does their rapid disappearance from sight.

Somewhere Between the Xharnian and Kahanistani Fleets - Two Hours Later

It was not, in effect, the most spectacular event anyone would ever witness.

At least, not for the first five seconds.

At first, there was just the odd steam rising from a small area of ocean, about a mile in diameter. It was very slight, a barely significant heating of water added to that of the sun, raising temperature to around forty degrees celcius ambient for several feet down. The first quarter inch of the water was raised far higher - and then the energy dispersed.

Barely enough to notice.

At precisely five seconds after the arrival of the steam, the column of fire descends. Arrayed like a fireworks display in reverse, the kinetic harpoons slip into the water with barely any visible effect. Two hundred feet down, they complete the action of disintegrating, exploding with a force equivalent to five tonnes of TNT apiece. Shockwaves immediately slam inwards, disrupting the normal flow of the tide; the carefully and precisely aimed strike sets off an inevitable chain of events.

Various wavefronts collide, and, in doing so, produce yet more waves - heading in the opposite direction. Most of the energy is spent rapidly, but several large waves - seven or eight metres in height - roar off towards the respective fleets.

Some minutes later, the swell would be felt at the respective fleets. Too far away for the waves to remain in full swing, but the shift in the ocean is quite perceptible to the warships.

At about the same time, an extremely high intensity radio signal arrives from orbit.

There's no effort at identification - just the voice of a woman, who sounds inately cheerful:

"Are you sure you wish to fight?"

Hugoro would bow gently before leaving, "I thank you for hosting this, when the war is over , I hope you will be party to the signing of an Armistace, Although our efforts failed, the seeds of an eventual peace have been swon, until another time, farewell"

OOC: Once the war starts it will be closed, this will be to make it fair on Xharn, however people are more than welcome to send in small teams of mercanaeries and special operatives however check with either myself or Xharn, once Project Cyberax and Torrken come online for deployment there will be plenty of oppourtunity for guerilla RP. *Chuckles*

From The Desk of The Stukavian Commisar of War
We of the Soviet Socialist Confederacy of Stukav does not approve of Xharn's ways of dealing with riots. Firing into crowds is not only unethical, but it brings with it bad public relations for you and your followers. Furthermore, we of the Confederacy would like to request you take measures to see... "Accidents", if you will... like this never happen again. Failure to do so will result in a swift and deadly Stukavian counterattack.

The Lead Dreadnought Radios back from the recieving signal:

"We are following orders, The Kahanistani Fleet is to withdraw from Royal Xharnian waters. If they fail to do so we are ordered to exterminate them as the Royal Xharnian High Command has so ordered..."

From: The Royal Xharnian High Command


The Royal Xharnian Government does not answer to Communist regimes that try to threaten our divine soverignty. Our actions to put down those riots were to keep order within the United Holy Kingdom of Xharn and stop the spread of treason and evil in it's tracks before they could start turning our nation down the path of destruction and anarchy.

Admiral Hughes decided to try brinksmanship.

"Get the goddamn Novans on the horn, tell them we're going in. And where's that reply from the Civitas fleet?"

"The reply hasn't gotten here yet. And Lord Satan only knows where the Novans are," said a commander.

"Hail the Xharnian command ship. Target all weapons onto that vessel, we're going to send it to the bottom of the sea if they fire on us. But let them take the first shot, we're not the aggressors here. And make sure those Cobalt-60 missiles are ready, just in case."

The cruiser the Admiral and his staff were on hailed the Xharnian command vessel.

"This is Admiral Trentin Hughes of the Kahanistan Republic Navy. We are here to extract refugees from your land who are being murdered as we speak. We've come to take 100,000 people out of there, just how many troops do you think we have here? We just have six warships and one unarmed transport, do you really think we're an invasion force? If you want to see what a Kahanistan invasion force looks like, have your satellites scan the fleet (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10197589&postcount=85) heading for ViZion from Kahanistan."

It was not a great span of time that had elapsed before the radio signal returns, at the same strength as before. Powerful enough that radio equipment tuned to other frequencies experience a degree of crossover, in fact, with the over-powerful Iluvauromeni transmission breaking in on all but higher-order military transmissions.

A display of electronic force to go with the military display, it would appear.

"You are hereby informed that engaging in hostilities which may spill into international waters without proper consultation of affected parties is considered unacceptable by the Iluvauromeni Commonality of Everlasting Light at this time. Any effort to enter into an engagement scenario will be considered to be an illegal staging operation with a view to improving military tension in the region and a hazard to international shipping. The Commonality reserves our sovereign right to protect the interests of our allies, both economically and diplomatically, and further reserves the right to deploy military assets to ensure the safety of shipping and the civilian population in general.

"We reassure all involved parties that, should the projection of military force prove necessary again, we will ensure minimum environmental damage.

"Further I am empowered to inform the state of Xharn that it is hereby required to submit all evidence regarding the so-called accidental death of civilians during a military crowd dispersal operation recently.

"We stress that we have no intention of enacting large-scale military intervention against Xharn at this time, nor at any currently perceived point in the future."

OOC: Final Build up to war in this thread ( http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=10199704 ) the actual war will also take place in there.

(ooc-Just beware,THe UUSS and Xharn shair a long border, and since the war,a heavlly gaurded border patrol frequentlly runs by there.)

OOC: I will keep that in mind, however though it won't affect Operations unless your border guards are stupid enough to open fire on forces that haven't crossed your borders and will not.

(ooc-They are thained in id'ing the opposer and desiding to fire or not,a notice went out to the partols to not fire on anyone unless fired on first.just also beware of the weather,it gets a lot of snow there)

"Well." sighed Commisar Sokolov.
"If Xharn's citizens choose war, so be it."
At 1800 hours, a fleet of ten Stukavian DeltaBlue Battlecruisers and three Stukavian Deltablue Carriers left the Warship Pen off the coast of Stukav's Jan island. Their destination? Xharn.

Admiral Hughes decided to try brinksmanship.

"Get the goddamn Novans on the horn, tell them we're going in. And where's that reply from the Civitas fleet?"

"The reply hasn't gotten here yet. And Lord Satan only knows where the Novans are," said a commander.

The Lead Dreadnought hails back:

"You have entered into Royal Xharnian waters, The Royal Xharnian High Command demands that you leave immedately or submit your vessels to be searched. The United Holy Kingdom of Xharn suspects this to be a trojan horse.

You are suspected of planing on dropping a large force of your Imperial marines on our coast and distracting our defenses while the Novan's Forces advance upon our island and coastal provinces.

This is something we can not allow to happen, If you wish to pass your ships must be inspected by the X.R.I.C. agents aboard my vessel. To prove you our no threat to the Kingdom..."

OOC: bump

The voice becomes flat, monotone, unemotional. Deeply cold. Inhuman. Probably because it was an amended transmission which had had all emotional content removed before sending, but the technicians certainly know their business. There couldn't be a more disapproving tone.

"Unacceptable."

It was 'louder' still. Several 'satelites' with line-of-sight had shifted their geostatic positions slightly, allowing for improved gain. Rather than one, there were now three Iluvauromeni satelites sending the signal. The rest of the MISAT civilian/military orbital network rapidly reoriented, maintaining the much-vaunted Iluvauromeni 9x% observational coverage of the Earth's surface.

If only there were enough people alive to actually watch all the feeds...

Regardless, it turns out that that one word is the entire response. Nothing else is forthcoming, at least not without reply. And at least not yet.

--At the seas--
The November Storm Light Carrier battle group was passing through the barricade around Xharn to return to Usea.It button down becouse of the Storms in the area.They had clearace from Xharn to pass through yet they had been away for a while.

"Sir,The ship in front,is that one of ours?"Siad the Captian of the Giradot 3rd class Destroyer."No,Sent a line,What ship is that?"The Admeral on the November Storm declared.

Admiral Hughes spoke with his commanders in the command vessel's conference room.

"I don't like the sound of this... they want to search the vessel. If they find the Cobalt-60, it's all over."

"They won't find it," said the first officer of the command vessel. "It's in our warheads, it looks just like any other missile."

"Good," said the Admiral. "If the transport is attacked, I want the Royal Palace made permanently radioactive."

He opened a channel to the Xharnians.

"This is Admiral Trentin Hughes of the Kahanistan Republic Navy. We will allow X.R.I.C. agents to have limited access to our vessels."

The crew armed themselves. There were only about 1,000 sailors on each of the cruisers and destroyers, fewer than 400 on the transport, and these were sailors, not Imperial Marines. They did not have advanced combat training, but they should be able to put up a fight if the Xharnians were plotting something...

What a thorough search of the ship would uncover was enough supplies, food, water, medicine, etc. for 100,000 Xharnian refugees to last until they got to Kahanistan. Kahanistan's secret weapon was indistinguishable from any other Tomahawk cruise missile, it would merely have different internal components to its warhead...

The DeltaBlue battlegroup, Stukav's 3rd largest carrier strike group, had arrived in neutral waters less than a mile from Xharn's territory. The three Stalking Rhino battleships, four K200 Hunter-killer submarines, and two T-708 Aircraft Carriers were supported by three T340 Long-Range bombers, launched from the S.M.S. Bolshevik, a Stalin-class carrier.
LCVPs were slung outboard and prepared with supplies as Stukavian Imperial Marines and Stukavian Aid Workers also prepared for the massive beach landing in store.
"Now, we're using DeltaBlues, so their vessils oceanic camoflauge should buy us some time before Xharn's radar finds us." Fredrik Balkal, Commisar of the Navy, stood in the S.M.S. Stalingrad's situation room.
"The Ubruk and the Torbruk can sweep by then to the side, and cut off suppy lines, while being supported by the Bolshevik."
"But what will we do about the already-amassed allied fleet off the coastline?" inquired Josef Gromy, Commisar of the Marines.
"If they choose to ignore us or make peace, we will do the same for them. If they take hostile actions against the LCVPs or Strike Group... the T340s will proceed to destroy them."
"You are a confident one there, comerade." smirked Viktor Sokolov. "We still aren't sure of the size of their strike groups, or how many nations have intrests here. Let alone if Xharn already has established a beachhead, and what kind of resistance to expect."
Balkal straghtened up.
"Comerade! Wars are not won by hesitating. We must strike while we have the element of suprise! And besides... 'The bear who sees the trap cannot be caught'."

A few Seconds Later,A screen Showed the Foward area of the fleet."Sir,The Ships over there are from the Kahanistan Republic Navy,And the others are Royal Xharn Naval Vessals." as the screen showed."hopefully,they dont notice us just getting home.No need for communication,Procede as planed."

Elements of the Stukavian Special Forces have been notified of the conflict in north Xharn.
http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/1074/stukavspecialforcespatch8bl.png
Sleeper agents until now, the 10-man Special Forces platoon "The Black Riders" (#582) has been called into action to find a suitable LZ for additional Stukavian Special Forces personell to be bused in by Huey slick. They will then proceed to find a place on the Xharnian Mainland to be deemed "Landing Zone Kremlin" and landed on by elements of the 481st Airborne and 4th and 5th marines.

OOC: Keep in mind Stukav, The Coastal Defenses are on full alert if those helecoptor's are detected by the Xharnian Radar or Satelite, Lets just say the chances are good that the Aircore or the Ant-Air Defense network will activate....

The Xharnian Fleet Marshal heard the reply and was a little unnerved by the disaproving voice. However his orders stood, He could not just get Classified information without a high clearance code and lord knows his clearance was not high enough to access something classifed by the infamous X.R.I.C. organization.

The Fleet Marshal hopes that these people do not try to take action...

The Lead Dreanought radio's back:

"Very well, The X.R.I.C. agents will be sent to you. If they find anything threatening to the safety of the Royal Xharnian Government they will ask you to leave and not return. Failure to do this will result in open war.."


The X.R.I.C. Agents of Bureau number 15 were arming themselves, They had gathered there standard issiue Mini UZIs they expected the Kahanistani's to have motives to trying to hit the Defenses and they would not take chances.


They were being put into a patrol boat that would head toward the Kahanistani Ships. It had the Flag of the Dark Sun waving high to let the Kahanistani's know this was the X.R.I.C. inspection team...

As the November Storms battle group past the Xharn and Kahanistan Fleets,a storm Rolled by,a bad one.(Dose any one mind?)

"21 Gunship say again."
"1-20-2-20, mark the 6 over."
The Il-28 Beagle landed on the Bolshevik as its commander got out and proceeded into the Bolshevik's bridge.
"Comrade Commisar! There has been a buildup of Anti-Aircraft on the shore!"
Sokolov turned to face the commander.
"Can the Divine Hawks (Stukavian MiG-182) hit them?"
"No sir, they're too vunerable to the SAMs."
"What about a Jolly Grey? (Stukavian T360 Bomber)"
"Sir, we'll have to call in one from New Kharkov... I don't know if a T360 has enough fuel for that journey. Let alone if they can bring it down on one of our carriers."
"Can't you put tip tanks on that thing?"
"I'll call back to the Kharkov firebase, see what they can do. At least they might be able to spare some T340Us..."
"Get back to me on that, commander."
Sokolov turned to face Balkal.
"As for the beach landing... what do they have against us?"
"Comrade, intellegence is reporting we're up against a well-armed modern day army, with technology similar to, if not better, than ours."
"Well then, we'll need a Jolly Grey Giant more than ever. And Balkal?"
"Comrade?"
"Can a T360 land on this carrier?"
"I don't know, sir..."
Sokolov threw Balkal a ruler.
"Get measuring, comrade!"

Secret IC Transmission to Civitas Americae and Novacom

From: Samuel Sampson; four star general of the Axinonain Army
To: The governments of Civitas Americae and Novacom

Hello. My name is Samuel Sampson. I am a high ranking general in Axinon's army. Our international intelligence corps has informed me that your countries either are operating people inside Xharn, or are considering it. Further, both of your countries are blockading Xharn.

I want to help you.

Axinon has not declared war on Xharn, but we carried out an... operation in Xharn several years ago. I was on the ground in Xharn. I know the terrian perhaps better than anyone besides the Xharnians themselves, as well as an operative I will refer to as 'Christopher Garnell'. I would like to arrange a meeting between two of my operatives and officials from your two great countries. They would be valuable advisors, and can brief you on the terrain conditions over much of Xharn. Thank you for your time.

The X.R.I.C. agents were greeted by several dozen sailors on the deck, armed with FAMAS rifles and wearing body armor and NBC.

"These men and women will escort your intelligence agents," said Admiral Hughes on a channel that reached all Kahanistan ships in the fleet. "We have a lot of classified material on these vessels. Because of this, the offices of the higher-ranked officers are off-limits. So are the engines, weapons systems, and anything else that would allow you to steal our national secrets."

The Lead X.R.I.C. agent looks at the others, They all nodd and the head agent saids out loud,

"Ok, first things first our orders are to search these ships for any sign of a possiable landing force. If your telling the truth and these ships are really taking out refugees.

We will let you head towards your destination. However we would like you to clarify something are you heading to one of the three Islands or the Mainland?"

The other X.R.I.C. Agents did not stay to listen half of them left the boat and began to search this vessel first for any possible sign of an invasionary or trojan horse trap..

OOC: Things they are looking for:

Excess Imperial Marines
possiable Weapons and bombs for terrorist/Freedom Fighters
Possible Insurgent teams ect...

"We'll go to the mainland, that's where most of the people being hunted and killed are. We'll pick up the refugees and be out of your hair."

The Admiral waited to see what the Xharnians would find.

"You might see more fleets coming by to pick up people, but they'll be small, like this one. We're at war on our homeland now, we hope it'll be resolved shortly, Amestria's joined on our side. We can't spare large fleets for now."

The Lead X.R.I.C. Agent saids, "If you are heading towards the mainland. I suggest you avoid the Naval Bases, and the City of Cova. Those places have large defense forces with itchy trigger fingers to there Battery emplacements.

Though I wonder how you can save anybody when those that will most likely try to flee are being rounded up and sent to the various Work Camps across Xharn?

If the Royal Military finds a large group heading towards your ships they will most likely turn the Coastal Defense forces on the fleeing people."

The X.R.I.C. Agents head towards the hull and the Cargo room, Some take postions around specific areas around the vessel they seem to be scouting out where guards are and they also seem to be watching the various patrols.

The Admiral nodded. "I'll take that under advisement." He radioed the fleet. "Open a channel to the Xharnian ships, we're heading for the mainland. If they want to dispatch someone to follow us, that's acceptable as long as they remain more than fifty kilometers from us and do not make any hostile moves. The X.R.I.C. agents' ship may follow us more closely to receive them when they are ready to leave."

But he couldn't just leave the Xharnians to their fates, either, he had been ordered to retrieve 100,000 of them. He sent a coded message to his fleet.

"Set a course for Cova. Once we are within sixty kilometers, open a channel to Cova to let them know we're coming."

The Royal Xharnian 4th Fleet ordered two Nuclear Submarines to follow the Kahanistani Fleet and give advance warning on it's location to the mainland..


The X.R.I.C. Boat stays near the Kahanistani Fleet with the intention of getting all the X.R.I.C. agent off once there inspection was done.


The Lead X.R.I.C. Agent was listening to his headset with differnent agents telling him different things like what type of weapons the Fleet might have, How many Saliors were estimating at patroling and at what times.

The Lead X.R.I.C. Agent was getting annoyed at not finding anything. He personally wanted to send a team to spy on the Kahanistani's ship's aresnal's but Xharn could not afford another enemy.

The X.R.I.C. Agent saids, "This ship passes but the other including the transport must be searched as well."

The Kahanistan ships would not separate, they would only go after all the ships had either been searched, cleared, or asked to turn back.

The transport was much larger, but having no weapons it needed a smaller crew, only 400. The crew was armed, but the ship had no naval guns like the other ships did.

The admiral gave permission for the Xharnians to board his transport and all six warships.

The Novembar Storm's battle group was almost past the two fleets when,
--Missle Warning!--
"What?!?"Yelled the captain of the Storm,"It may be a Glich in the new software,Sir."The officer said."Take no chances,Deploy the CIWS and fire if confirmed."

The X.R.I.C. Agents begin searching the transport next and they were surpised to see how empty it was. The X.R.I.C. Agents had expected there to be a large combat force here. It seemed that maybe the Kahanistani's may be telling the truth. The X.R.I.C. agents however begin looking for any signs of weapons crates or other obvious weapons transporting...

OOC: The Xharnian Navy has headed back towards there respective bases. The only Xharnian Ships out there are a patrol boat and two Nuclear Submarines which are trailing the Kahanistani fleet.


IC:

The Submarines continue heading towards the Kahanistani Fleet. The Nuclear Submarines kept there distants but they were slowly tracking the Kahanistani Fleet and it was estimated that they were heading towards Cova. The only port City in the Kingdom and the second largest.


The Submarines radio ahead to the Coastal Defense Forces that the Kahanistani Fleet was heading towards Cova...

Commisar Gromy burst into Commisar Sokolov's quarters with a dispatch in his hand.
"Comrade Sokolov! Reports on mulitble ship movements!"
Sokolov wrapped himself in his robe and proceeded to the bridge.
"What'we got?"
"Seems like the Xharnians are contributing to the movement of a group of ships. Orders, comrade?"
"Yes... send a stalking rhino after them. See if we can't find out anything."
At 16:47, a Trotsky-Class Stalking Rhino super-destroyer broke away from the Stukavian fleet and began tailing the Kahanistan ships.

The Dictatorship of Twitch2395 is siding with Xharn and will be sending military aid if needed.

To all those who wish to attack Xharn:

The Dictatorship of Twitch2395 will not allow you to threaten Xharn with nulear missiles, if you proceed to launch nuclear missiles at Xharn our nuclear missile subs will launch against you. Each of these missiles has 10 8,000 megaton war heads, which separate in the upper atmospher and each can be separatly targeted. Since our missle subs have 22 missile silos, there are 220 nuclear missiles on each sub.

Signed,
Twitch,
Dictator of Twitch2395

OOC: Twitch's army sounds rigged. And for a sub to carry that much... hell, i'm thinking the size of two empire state buildings? Try and make your army a little bit more... well, can't say belevible... but REAL.

EDIT: For a nuke to be like that, it'd have to be REALLY REALLY BIG. Too big to be launched from a submarine. and a launch pad big enough to launch 220 of those nukes would have to be about the size of Miami.

I can see why you would think this: I said 220 nuclear missiles when i ment warheads.

Anyway, the subs i am talking about belong to the US Navy. They are our Los Angelis(or how ever it is spelled) Class nuclear missile sub.

Also the nukes i am talking about, are launched as one missile, and once is reaches the upper atmosphere it breaks apart into ten different war heads which then guide themselves to their targets, and each war head can be targeted at a different thing. Thats how there a 220 nukes on each sub,(22 missile silos, 10 nukes per missile).

P.S. What does OOC mean?

IC: The Xharnians do not find any excess weapon crates, just the weapons used by the crew in case of a boarding action by enemy forces or a mutiny. The crew also uses plenty of body armor and NBC gear, just in case.

70 kilometers from Cova

Admiral Hughes ordered his commanders via radio, "We are approaching Cova. When we get to 60 kilometers away, radio the Xharnians, to let them know we're docking and not to blow us out of the water."

"Sir,It was a glitch."The officer siad."Good,Now lets get going."Replyed the captain.Yet that was not the only ship in Usea to have that glitch....

OOC: well... err... you could have said you ment warheads! :cool:

The Stalking Rhino radioed back to the DeltaBlues with a grim message.
"Comerades, it seems that the ships we're tailing are heading for some form of port..."
Commisar Gromy picked up the radio.
"A friendly port?"
"We don't know, sir."
"Well find out! and tail those ships until you get blown up!"

On a yacht off the shore of Alphinon-5, the smallest island in the Alphinon cluster

"Duce, have you managed to crack the Mithril communications system yet?"

"No, William, they have very strong security."

"Remember, you do not need to crack their high security sections, you just need to send a message to their Xharn commander, a man by the name of Andre Kalinin"

Duce Xavier Machina could not suppress a wide smile. He was young. Many said he was far too young for special operations. Only eighteen, he had trained under William Larvonic for five years. Machina would be what one would call a child prodigy. By sheer coincidence, he was also the 1 billionth child born in Axinon, but that was widely dismissed as a curious coincidence.

"Let me get this strait, Will. This group is called Mithril and one of their commanders is Andre Kalinin?"

William Larvonic just stared at him. Larvonic was widely considered the top operative in Axinon. With the exception of the debacle in Xharn almost a decade ago, Larvonic has never failed on a mission. Now 29, Larvonic stood at almost exactly six feet. His skin bore a deep bronze tan, resulting from a life spent almost entirely outdoors. He had taken Machina as his pupil when the eager teenager appeared at the Citadel five years ago, seeking a spot in spec ops.


Ten minutes later...

"I got it!" exclaimed Machina.

"Ok, said Larvonic excitedly. "Send the following message to Andre Kalinin:"

Dear Major General Andre Kalinin
My informants have told me that your country has planted special operations forces in Xharn, to set up a possible attack on the deplorable Von Ericson regime. I have a grudge agenst Von Ericson and the X.I.R.C., and I want to get even. However, my country has denied my appeal to begin operations in Xharn for the time being. That is where I would like to request your help. I am a special operations master with previous experience in Xharn. I know the country very well, and would be a major asset to any Spec Ops forces operating in Xharn. My pupil and I would like to meet with you personally, as soon as possible. Please respond soon.

Respectfully,
W. Larvonic

To: General Samuel Sampson

I appreciate your contacting me, I understand the situation you find yourself in, however my operations schedule can no longer be delayed, however though your operatives are welcome to come and meet aboard my Flagship NMS Livan at their earliest possible convinence.

Machina had just sent the message over the Mithril network when he received a call from the Citadel, the center of Axinon's military structure.

"Duce Machina speaking." Duce mumbled into the mouthpiece. He listened for a second, and then said, "It's for you boss".

He passed the phone to Larvonic. Larvonic talked to the man on the other end for a few minutes, and then announced to his pupil "We are going to Novacom"

"What?" asked Machina. "What does Novacom have to do with us?"

"Novacom's general said he would like to meet with us to discuss Xharn. A private jet is going to pick us up at Tiniut International Airport in an hour, so we'd better get moving."

An hour later, a private Axinon military jet picked up the duo. Their destination was a airport in Novacom, where they would transfer to a helicopter for the final leg of their trip.

The X.R.I.C. Agents were dissapointed with there findings and radioed to there Commander with there findings.

The Commander finally decided they had searched long enough.


The X.R.I.C. agents head to there patrol boat and prepare to head back to there assigned postions with the rest of the fleet..

________________________________________________________________

The Submarines pick up the Stukav warship on there radar..

Then send a coded message to the defense forces with recommendations to prepare to defend Xharn from this highly inqusitive warship that was obviously not Kahanistani do to it not being in formation and seemed like a design not used by Kahanistan when the Spy Satelites finally took a look at it..

The Coastal Batteries and Surface to Sea Missiles were activated ready to unleash a massive payload of death upon the lone ship if it went closer...

As the jet landed on the runway, a humvee arranged for by the Axinon army met the two specialists. First Larvonic then Machina walked off the plane, and into the waiting vehicle.

"Hello. We are the specialists from Axinon. I've come here to give your commander a detailed briefing on Xharn. Please take us to General Marcus Kavik." said Larvonic to the driver.

(OOC: Got caught up in several other RP's.)

IC: The Kahanistan fleet was now 60 km from Cova.

"This is Admiral Trentin Hughes, Kahanistan Republic Navy. We are on a mission of mercy. For the sake of international stability, do not open fire."

Satellite intelligence was relaying the locations of Xharnian coastal defense batteries to the Kahanistanian fleet. Any gun that fired would be immediately silenced by a cruise missile. If the transport were fired upon, a volley of cruise missiles salted with Cobalt-60 would permanently make the King's palace uninhabitable.

The Kahanistan Navy approached the shores of Cova, about two hours away.

DECLARATION OF ESUNOETHOPAR

2006- Everyone shall be free in the region, found by King Haysar himself, which Esunothopar is living in right now.

The King has ordered me to write this so I can inform all of you all of this region and the Kingdom of Esunoethopar itself.

Dragons, monsters, mages, knights, other magical creatures, and humans from Earth shall live in this region together.

This region is a different planet.

Anyways, the King has told me that he will do his best to stay out of wars with other planets, especially Earth.

Already people form Earth are mad at him.

He was to save the USA from Iraq but he failed.

So now he has made a vow to never get involved with war.

If you wish to gather up Earthlings to have war with King Haysar please telegram him.

If the telegram gets through he will demolish the Earth.

So if I war you I wouldn't telegram that telegram to him.

Enough about the war, there will also be no slavery.

There will be no littering.

There will be no treason.

There will be no capture of the beings that live on the planet other than humans.

There will be no riots, if there is then the bomb inside the planet will explode as soon as the King escapes to another planet.

Also if you break any one of the nation's many laws (not all listed) then the results of the bomb and other punishment will happen.

ooc-What?!?
thats all pea soup im my brain:headbang:
what dose that have to do with this?

OOC: I dunno, that guy sounds like he's on drugs. Ignore him.

The Stalking Rhino battleship approached the shore cautiously. Something wasn't right... Captain Voronov radioed back to the Bolshevik.
"Comrade Sokolov, this is Captain Voronov. Something isn't right, there's no opposition from the shore..."
And then Commisar Sokolov made one of the worst descisions in his life.
"Go in as close as you can, see what they have waiting for us."
The Blue-grey battlecruiser slowly approached the shore, and then a grinding sound was heard.
"Dammit!"
"What?"
"Hit a sand bar, we're stuck here now..."

Meanwhile, members of the MACX (Military Assistance Command, Xharn) landed on the Bolshevik and prepared for drop by T-340U Snow Demon into Xharn, where they would meet up with the now-stranded Black Berets and scout out the coastline.

--Secret Transmition to the leader/s of Stukav--
