As the sun rose over the picturesque Gilabadian border, 50 men and 45 women slipped across the border. They were members of the ICLU (International Civil Liberties Union) and GLAD. They were all liberal extremists angry at the Gilabadian government’s policy towards their beliefs. They were bringing with them automatic weapons and improvised explosives. They all had one intention, to strike at the Gilabadian government. Riding on motorcycles, they quickly rode towards the North Highmount Public School, located near the border. They entered and immediately shot one of the security-gaurds, and entered the main building. The other security-guard, watching the video moniters, immediately called the police. Then the police dispatcher sent 8 units to the scene, then the dispatcher called the GSP (Gilabad Secret Police). 150 GSP units along with 50 GSP-Strike Team units made their way to the school. When they got their, they immediately formed a perimeter around the school so that there would be no escape. With all the information coming from the one security guard in the control building, the situation was very hectic. The GSP captain on the scene was Captain Swahiri. He went in to the M4 Command and Control vehicle with his leutenants.

“All right, so what’s the situation?”

“Well sir, we’ve got liberal extremists in excess of 40 who we believe are residing in the main building.”

“How many casualties so far?”

“Well sir, according to the security-guard, the guard at the front door of the main building was killed along with 3 school teachers.”

“Well as all of you know, we have a zero tolerance policy with terrorists, especially liberal ones.”

Leutaenant Bromley then comes in bursting the door open.

“Sir, I’ve got the blueprints for the campus!”

“Well let’s have a look at em!”

Everyone gazes at the blueprints.

“OK, I want 2 snipers on the roof of the cafeteria building, get Alpha team to escort them onto the roof.”

“I’m on it now sir!”

Leutennant Sikes leaves.

“By the way, I think it’s time we get the military involved, try and get them on the line”

“We already have sir, they’ve got 3 squads of “Alpha Force” special forces on the way, along with two F-22s on stand-bye!”

“OK that’s a relief, get 4 snipers on the library roof get Bravo team to escort them.”

“I’ll take this one.”

Leutennant Winters grabs a doughnut off the table and then leaves. Then General Westmorland bursts through the door.

“Captain Swahiri, I’ll be taking command of the situation!”

“I guess the military got here. Nice to see you again General.”

“Save the congrats for later, we’ve got a school to save!”

As the snipers were in position, they had full view of the outside of the school. Through their high powered sniper scopes, they were able to peer through open or partially opened windows. Seargant Jeffreys, was looking through his Springfield Generation 3 scope on his SSG3000.

"Command, I've got a tango with a group of hostages about five paces from the window. I've got another tango with a communication device in a window on the lower floor."

"Roger that, can you identify the communication device?"

"Affirmative, it's a motorola cell phone."

"Roger that, we're tapping the call, keep up the good work!"

Back in the Command Vehicle, General Westmorland, along with Captain Swahiri, were listening in on the conversation.

"Ted, can you here me? Yeah Tom go ahead. OK we've taken the school, what's the situation over at hq?"

"We still haven't been detected yet, but we're holding out."

"Do you want us to issue our demands yet?"

"You're all clear, you know what to do!"

"Alright, talk to you later."

"OK seeya!"

Westmorland and Swahiri looked at eachother with puzzled faces.

"Who the hell is Tom and Ted?"

"I don't know, but we need to find out, copy this and send it to forensics."

"Yessir!"

As soon as Captain Swahiri left with Leutennant Blay, the radio crackled and then Seargent Major Clift came on.

"Sir, you won't believe this, but two tangos just came out with a megaphone, saying that they want to talk to a negotiator. They're also saying that their demands are that Gilabad give 2,000,000$ to GLAD and the ICLU, and that Warlord Shawhabas resign from office. What do you want me to do?"

"Well hell, give them our reply!"

"What do you mean sir?"

"Cap 'em that's what I mean!"

"Oh right...Yessir!"

Two shots rang out and the two extremists slumped over with one whole in the back of their heads.

Right after the shots were fired, a lot of commotion was stirred up inside the building. On the upper floor, 4 terrorists stuck their automatic weapons out of the window and began firing where they thought the snipers were. However they had guessed wrong. They were quickly neutralized by the snipers concealed on the cafeteria rooftop.Then all of the sudden, a terrorist launched some sort of IED (Improvised Explosive Devic) into the parking lot, where all of the response force had assembled. Everyone immediately hit the deck, while a police squad car took a direct hit causing shrapenal to fly in every direction. 5 GSP personnel were injured and immediately put on ambulences. Inside the command vehicle, the impact was felt.

"What the hell was that!?!" the General shouted.

"Sir, I'm getting reports that the terrorists launched an IED into the parking lot."

"Alright, I've about had it. Get a 5 man sniper team to set up a position to the woods, north of the main building. Get Charlie team to escort you!"

"Yessir"

Leutennant Jackson leaves.

"OK, we've got the cafeteria to the west and the library to the east and the woods to the north. That leaves the Gym to the south. Get a 6 man sniper team on the roof, get Echoe team to escort you!"

"I'm on it now sir!"

Leutennant Jhonson leaves.

"Has "Alpha Force" arrived yet?"

"Yessir they're awaiting orders."

OOC - Right. Civil liberties activists and gay rights activists becoming violent, hostage-taking terrorists is simply implausible at best...

OOC: Thumbs down. That's kinda impossible.

OOC: As conservative as I am, yeah, I don't think they would go that far. Now ELF might, but they're eco-terrorists.

(OOC In my opinion, the ICLU and GLAD are capable of far worse attrocities, and becides this isn't RL, this is NS and anything can happen OOC)

When the "Alpha Force" squads arrived, General Westmorland and his advisors were urgently trying to come up with a plan. With snipers on all sides, the terrorists were pretty much contained. But when news of a hostage being executed in rettaliation for the sniping of one of their sentries reached the General, things looked bleak.

"HOW MANY HOSTAGES WERE KILLED?!"

"3 Sir, a 12 year old boy and 2 17 year old girls"

"GOOD GOD! WHAT KIND OF MANIACS ARE THESE!?"

"I don't know sir, but if those hostages have any chance at all we have to move quick!"

In Brydog, the event was being watched. The President decided on a bold tactic.

He picked a phone and called the Gilabad leader.

"Hello, we wish to send a third-party negotiator"

Warlord Shawhabas picked up the phone in his presidential palace.

"Yes your third party negotiater would be more than welcome, but I'm curious, what do you mean by a third party negotiater?"

Major Reese of the "Alpha Force" came into the Command and Control vehicle.
Knowing how dire the situation was, he tried to keep a calm face in front of the General. He sat down on the other side of the table from the general, taking off the USP. 45 on his leg and putting it to the side.

"Glad to see you Major!"

"Glad to be here General, what do we have?"

"Well to cut a long story short, we've got a bunch of maniacs who've taken over a school and have just executed 3 of them, so we already know that they aren't messing around"

"That's for sure. Have we got them completely contained and I mean completely?"

"We have snipers on all four sides"

"That's not going to cut it, we need an entire squad of GSP on all sides"

"Alright alright...Somebody get a squad on each side!"

"I'm on it sir!" yelled Captain Kalid.

Then the Major sat down with a map of the main building.

"OK let's come up with a plan here......"

(I have to cut this short, I'm in a hurry)

OOC: Well, violence attracts violence...if there is more bloodshed you can bet the Horde will be here...

OOC: Someone who is not part of your or their organization.

IC: Paul Wolfsburg boards a Republic Air flight to the country. He hopes that he can solve the problem without anymore bloodshed.

OOC - This may be NS, but that doesn't mean that you can just pull things out of thin air. No civil-liberties organization would do such a thing; further, I thought there were no more ICLU or GLAD people in Gilabad...

OOC - This may be NS, but that doesn't mean that you can just pull things out of thin air. No civil-liberties organization would do such a thing; further, I thought there were no more ICLU or GLAD people in Gilabad...

OOC: Yeah, I remember that the few that hadn't been executed by the Gilabad government had been evacuated. In any case, this doesn't make alot of sense.

OOC: By the way, it's GLAAAD, with 3 A's (Gays and Lesbians Against Any and All Disagreement)

To bad I'm not a member of GLAD so I really don't care how I spell it. Yes they were all either killed or evacuated, but if you read my post it specificaly says that they snuck across the border!!! The ICLU is capable of far worse attrocities anyway.

Wolfenburg arrives in Gliabad.

The Major and the General stood around the table trying to figure out an effective plan of attack against the terrorists.

"Well I can already tell you that a helicopter assault isn't going to cut it. They'd here the choppers overhead before the men dropped." said the Major.

"So that cancels out a helicopter assault." replied the General.

"I think the first part of the plan should be to keep the pressure on the terrorists. In other words, delay the assault by maybe a few days to deprive them of sleep that way they would be fatiqued when we did assault."

"Yah that would work, we would have to make some diversions along the way to keep them up."

"We would have to use mortar fire or something to keep them up all night."

"We can do that as long as we didn't harm the hostages so that would work!"

"OK so for the assault itself. I think an airborn parachute assault from a C-130 would probably be the quitest and to keep them from seeing them overhead, we'd have to do it at night. They'd parachute onto the roof and enter through the ventilation system."

"OK that sounds like a plan. We delay the assault and deprive them of sleep by means of mortar fire and anything else that would keep them awake"

"Alright. We have a gameplan, I'll tell my men to get some sleep. We strike in 2 days!"

All of the sudden, one of the GSP captains burst in.

"Sir we have a negotiator who wants to help!"

"Well let's give it a try" replied the General.

OOC:Hahaha, thumbs up on the concept, man. I might get in on this if I have time (which isn't garrunteed, considering all the crap I got going on)
