OOC: This is a spin off and is somewhat more open than the main Xharn war, however it is restricted to small teams of men and the like if you want to send anything in.

IC: “I think it is time for our Psychic devices to make their presence felt, begin the Psychic invasion commander, and show them true justice” Yuri had given the order, his black hair seemed to bristle as his face, a mask of mystery turned to a large monitor,

“At once sir, beginning Psychic Beacon Deployment,” came the response of Commander Livan, he gave the momentous order in overtones of pride, his men quivered at attention and went to work at their smooth keyboards the great behemoth would shudder as the greater part of it’s bulk began it’s descent to the ground below, commando groups and other assorted outfits had all but made sure the Xharn military was tied up elsewhere and the potent blanket jamming from the Novacom fleet made it impossible to detect.

With a great Thud 3 beacons touched down, 1 in each of the provincial capitols of the selected regions, all around them landed Parridigram Transports, disgorging troops and engineers, the nearby civilians gawked at the massive tower like structure that was the Psychic Beacon, the blades of it’s whirling tower, it’s squat base and the strange men that were accompanying it, with a churn and a whirr the towers came to life, the Psychic Beacons were online, instantly the nearby bystanders started jumping for joy, shouting pro-Novacom Slogans and rushing towards the supposed invaders, hailing them instead as liberators and saviors, the Black Skull Enforcers in the background smirked, and so it began, the Psychic Invasion.

Engineers now accompanied by willing civilians began fortifying each of the cities, Storm Enforcers would soon be linking up to these places, and until then they must bide their time and wait, after all the Beacons would take time to completely assert their control over the regions, right now their range extended only over the cities and just barely beyond, but soon that would change as Yuri and his Black Skull Enforcer Compatriots worked their mysterious ways on the very nature of existence itself.

OOC: Sorry for not posting sooner, My Computer would not let me into the forums and then I had a problem getting on the internet. I am now back...

IC:


The X.R.I.C agents were recieving odd reports that provincal capitals of several key provinces were turning traitor...

The news was quickly sent to the capital and the King was notified along with the Royal Xharnian High Command.

They came up with several ideas on what to do and none of them good for the citizens or the now evident Novacom occupation forces in these areas.

_________________________________________________________________

Spy Satelite.....

In orbit one of the satelites took pictures of the cities and noted odd towers that seemed to be the center of attention the Xharn Satelite sent the images back to the Hive to be analyzed and studied...

"So," Yuri finged his chin with a black gloved hand, gazing at a monitoir intently, his underlings gathered around him, "The Xharnians, have discovered out psychic toys, no matter," He turns around his jet black hair seeming to become one with the gloom.

"Commander Livan, when will your Army Group Doppleganger be ready?" Yuri adressing the stalwart commander, his voice emenating through matter itself, his face an unexpressed mask of calm and confidence, the air around him humming with calculation. His watchful eyes missed nothing and noted even the most minor of details.

The Commander would snap to attention and salute, his face filled with doubt, he had never served under the command of Black Skull Enforcers' before and the thought of rallying an army out of the citizens of an enemy was a new experience, "It Progressess well Yuri, However actually equipping them will be tricky, we are running low on spare equipment to outfit them, at present they will only be able to defend, at least until our field foundries come online, I estimate several Months"

His stance eased slightly, weaving a tapestry of many layered strategem, playing cat and mouse with his counterparts and meticulously analysing his strategies and those of his enemies to make and invincible combination. Yet still his thoughts were clouded, this was too easy, surely in war their were sacrifices, Nay he knew there were sacrifices he still bore the scars, and propably would till the day he died, he would redouble his efforts to make that when battle did come it would be in there favour steeling himself he continues, "As of now it is to our benefit for the Xharnians to leave us alone, so we may establish ourselves, I'm not so sure about all this bandying about of Psychic technology, yes it's worked this time but it won't be a perfect defence, I doubt if it even could act as a defence, at least at the moment."

Clearing his hoarse throat with quenching water from a shining glass he stares at the monitor of the temporary command center, construction of proper facilities was proceeding apace, in a few months these provinces would be transformed into a seemingly invincible self sufficient citadel, but until then the armies being raised from Xharn's very own citizenry would have to wait, however though he reflected grimly, the Black Skull Enforcers are quite pleased to continue their experiments on those who have proved immune to their vulturous minds, the next few weeks would prove decisive, there was no denying that.

"Unnaceptable Commander, we need to be ready to break out in less than 2 months, 1 month is preferable, I sense an advantage for us at that time, I sense the Xharnians curosity will create for our troops, an opening," Yuri's presence oozed confidence, the entire room was barely lit, a dull red gloom garbed the occupants in a cloak of shadow, however the disdain of Yuri at the proposed time table was evident, progress would have to be quick, quick indeed.

X.R.I.C. Command Complex
Location: Classified
Time: 4:15 A.m.

The X.R.I.C. Organization was investigating the strange towers and trying to figure out the significance of them.

The X.R.I.C. Commanders were luckly out of range of the Beacons thus were unaffected.

The X.R.I.C. Organization noticed that several of there agents had fallen but some were immune to it.

The X.R.I.C. Commanders intiated Operation Reconquestia.

The Operations objectives:

1. Find out why the local populations have suddenly turned traitor, and halt its spreading corruption.

2. Destroy the strange towers. (They See it as important thus they want to destroy it.)

3. Remove the Novan Forces out of these cities by any means possiable..

"Commander Livan, you will move your forces to capture the Xharn Agents," Yuri his black gloved finger thrust at the command map his face lit more brightly as the room started to brighten "Their former Camrades in arms eagerly informed us of were they would strike, redouble guard around the beacon some of them have proven immune, bring them to me and we shall crush their minds and bring them under our heel,"

Not one for questioning a command from an individual such as Yuri Jacob hurried to carry out the order, "Team 35B, 17D and 78X you are to capture the XRIC Agents in the city, here are the co-ordinates from the beacon of unaccounted psychic presences, capture if possible, if not bring me their corpses. STorm Enforcer Units will support you, now go," with a click the command intercom ceases transmission and the mpa begins to show a rapid deployment of forces, the agents stood out like an undertaker at a christening the map showed clearly where they were, that combined with their easily turned erstwhile allies would mae them easy prey.

From newly set up Barracks the teams would surge out, armed with stun weapons and riot sheilds they moved stealthily forward, citizens would wave and cheer at them and point them in the direction of the "foreign invaders" before going about their dfaily buisness, captured or carried in as a cadavar their orders were simple, the threat had to be neutralised.

X.R.I.C. prides itself on working fast.

They had quickly figured there permant hiding places were already comprimsed do to the loss of several agents.

The X.R.I.C. Intel Stations were already rigged up and ready to explode as soon as a Novacom Soldiers triped the trip wires.

The X.R.I.C. agents quickly gathered weapons and had several civillian cars ready to blend in with the population.

The X.R.I.C. marked Black Vans typically used were abandoned and some had been rigged to explode if they were tampered with.


The X.R.I.C. Command Station of the Provincial Regions were already having there information destroyed. They knew they would fall to any attack but they would not let Novacom have any information on Xharn's Intelligence Network or it's technology.


The Extermination Squads that were unaffected prepared to launch there assualt upon there specific beacons.

The Goal was to sneak in as mind controled laborers and then target the beacon with a targeting laser hopefully the Aircore Bombers would pick it up and unleash there deadly payload upon the tower like structure that was causing trouble.

Once the Beacon's were down X.R.I.C. undercover agents would start hunting down Novacom Soldiers with there Sniper Rifles on the roof tops of several building across the cities...

Some Interesting Stuff they have here, all of it toys really" The Captain chuckled over the still warm corpses of several XRIC Agents, they had been deployed almost immediatly to this facility, and had been able to get a good deal of information intact, of particular interest was the communications encrypts for the Entire Xharn Military, a courier would be dispatcher to General Kavik later on in the day with them, buy would the Xharnians be in for a rude awakening.

All Over the City the People went about their daily buisness or were doing their assigned tasks, the place as a seeming utopia continued about it's daily buisness, however Soldiers were storming through the streets, hundredds if not thousands of them, yet something was amiss as Novacom had not inserted thousands of soldiers into the provincial regions, yes reiforecements had arrived yet they were still decanting at secure facilities.

All Automobiles were stopped and confiscated as the transport of the city was being switched from personal transport to public transport, ID checks were frequent and anyone who did not match up exactly was taken away, Hijir Scout Variants were airborne and surveying the entire of the provinces, some were moving to Link up with long range roamers from the main theatre of battle such was the overwhelming air presence being deployed at the front lines.

At the Borders a massive effort was being mobilised, as a great wall was being raised and several defensive emplacements were being created, civilian overseers were everywhere cheering on slogans. The place was almost surreal however explosions could be distantly heard, to be more accurate only one explosion was heard, the result of a cocky ensign entering an XRIC station, the rest were lead by far more experienced commanders and had disarmed the booby traps and began cataloguing everything in the stations.

"So you have already engaged several teams?" Yuri crooned from behind a control panel, his hair glimmering in the stark lights, the command center was nearing full operational status, the Xharnians had shown themselves to be very industrious, when their minds were filled with Novan thoughts of course.

"Indeed we have sir, we have the rest under surveilance and we are ready to apprehend them at our earliest possible convinence." Jacob Livan would report from his command table, several Aide's were pointing at images on it and mutering between themselves as he smiled gently.

"So the Xharnians have fallen for our trap, capturing these XRIC Agents will greatly assisst our research efforts, even if the first trap fails they won't destroy the beacons, Back in Kahanistan we tested a tactical nuke against one, it just barely managed to destroy the beacon, report the status on troop numbers and production rates Commander," Ordered Yuri, a smirk pulling at the corners of his lips as he hawkishly gazed at the command table, and the progress of the Duped Xharnians, they couldn't know about the traps and soon they would be put to better uses, he had several experiments in mind for them, several sinister experiemnts...

(ooc-Do eather of you mind if I joined?)

The Royal Xharnian Army was pressing the Novan Occupation Forces in the city.

The Sounds of Long range Artellery Fire could be heard as they begin to shell the outer defenses.

The Xharnian Rapators in the area take to the sky as they try and support the Xharnian Forces on the Ground by attacking anything Novan in the Air.


X.R.I.C. Operatives were being murdered in many different areas across the various cities however. There were certain cells that were harder to locate thanks to them being trained to work as seperate and independent units of 3 to 6 man teams. They rarely made contact with other cells trying to stay hidden untill they could gather there resources.

Some of these Cells would blend in as mind controled workers gathering intelligence on Novan postions and notifying there leaders to figure out the best areas and times for the fire works to begin...


OOC: Usea-Jason. I do not mind, However Novacom would also have to approve...

OOC: I approve and also I have posted several troop movements in Descending Sword which are about to cause trouble for your forces here.

IC: Forces paradropped in and several splinter units advancing from the south launching assaults on the Artilery Positions while from the front civilians chagred forward hurling Molotov Cocktails and using an array of Novan, Xharnian and other improvised weapons to attack the enemy. Out the surged screaming out war cries, their improvised armour swinging around them loosly as the hollered and yelled.

In the skies several swarms of Tokons had been loosed swooping in on the Xharn Raptors and like the birds of prey moved in for the kill, either crushing them with powerful hydraulic talon, launching Stalker Rockets or opening fire with Machine gun and heavy assault cannon, several literally plowed straight through the enemy aircraft as they, linked together commenced their deadly defence although many Tokons had been destroyed yet more would launch, thanks to several underground factories under construction the forces here had began to equip civilians and raise formations out of them, they lay in wait for any enemy forces while search and destroy teams wandered the streets, scouring the cities for any infiltraitors, other teams went amongst the work crews and began checking them, the test was simple, the guads would ask a question in Novan, and the work crews, through virtue of being connected to the beacon would respond to the question correctly, however though it wasn't quite that simple, each question was different.

The Psychic Beacon stood tall amongst the havoc, the city was a bulwark against the dark, it's mere presence seemed to assure the safety of the city, indeed any enemies within had found themselves mute and blind, what came in did not come out, such was the Beacons all embracing touch, the City was already well fortified, and well provisioned, thanks to Xharns own efforts to prepare for war, but now these efforts were being exploited by Novacom as they further fortified the city, a great wall had been erected, with massive defences mounted on it, a small amount of Vidignen heavy Artillery platforms had been shipped in, and now these were put to good use now answering in turn Xharn's artillery, all the while the enemy artillery were under dual assault, other units from their raids to the south simply entered the city, through a great fortified gate with artillery pieces flak guns machine guns and all other forms of defence available, the city was fast being fortified in a mirror image of Kravonika, however though unlike Kravonika this city was being fortified to act as distraction.

"So the Xharn fools have fallen for our devices, the more forces they divert north the less forces they have to the south, and of course with so many troops in range of the beacons, when we expand their range we will have another army, how quaint," Yuri chuckled at this, his black gloved hand wrapped round a lever as he pulled it back, the bolt was shot and the gates were open, the underground hangars now did gape wide open once more, as Tokons swarmed out cawing, crowing and screeching loudly. These Tokon's however were not going to aid the defense, they were attacking instead, with Bombs mounted on their underside and in their claws they would dive in and deliver their bombs with deadly force, and then come back again and atack without mercy as they cackled and crowed down at the landbourne fodder.

The Novan Counter attack was surpising and caused much confusion amongst the Royal Xharnian Army.


The Xharnian Royal Elite Guardsmen were ordered to begin moblize to take these areas.

They would paradrop into the cities and begin there assault agaisnt the traitorius cities that had turned on their people.


The Abhrams and the Motars continue to shell the Cities walls while the Howitzers start to aim for the Novan trenched postions hopping to break them up before the main assault on the gate of these cities.

The Enemies bombing runs had indeed wrecked much of the infrastrature and troop postions around these areas but the reserves had been called up to reinforce the area and more reinforcements from central Xharn had arrived with orders to help take the cities.


The other Divisions were pulled from the front and sent further north to help supress the Communist rebellion that had hit Kado...



The X.R.I.C. teams begin thier attacks agaisnt the strange towers that had appeared in the various Province capitals. They all dress up as workers and get cement trucks that they fill with tons of T.N.T.

The "Workers" make up a story of sending the Cement towards the roads near the tower. however they prepare to fight to smash their several trucks into the base of the tower hopping to at least damage the tower to the point of being non functioning..

-Lone Alliance Department of Experimental Weapons-
After the news of the Beacons leaked out the head scientist of the Current Gattling and Magnet projects, Dr.Simmons, chose to look over the spy satelite reports. "It's just like in the drawings, where did you say you got the information for our current projects?" He asked the delivering soldier. "We don't really know, someone just found them, the only clue to their orgins was the name of the person who wrote most of them, Yuri." The Scientist paused looking down again at the photos.

"Then this Yuri?" "No doubt about it, he's the one running the operation for Novacom." The soldier answered. "Xharn is in deep isn't it?" "Yep."

(OOC: this won't really involve TLA unless you want it too.)
