OOC Disclaimer: The following does NOT represent my actual beliefs or anything like that.

IC:s surprising as it seems, the nation of Red Tide had never commited genocide. Sure, it had brutally surpressed dissidents, ruthlessely squashed resistance, and showed no mercy towards any so-called enemies-of-the-state. But it never surpressed a particular religion, group, or idealogy... the opression, you could say, was equally distributed. But, as the saying goes, there is a first time for everything.

The words NRTN(National Red Tidean News) flashed across the screen, as in the background, the rather attractive daytime news anchor, Tatania Kapinski, took a sip of water, folded her papers, and generally prepared for the morning broadcasting segment.

"Yesterday, marked the twentieth Buddhist riot to be put down by the glorious Red Tidean police and Intellegince-Consortium Forces. The illegal string of riots which started a month ago, have been perpertrated by the general Buddhist population in an attempt to bring down our glorious Supreme Commander Gregori McKenna. Today, the Head of the Intellegince-Consortium announced a new campaign to put an end to these riots for once and for all. The Supreme Commander has authorized the Intellegince-Consortium and police to put a halt to these riots through any means nessecary."

It was all mindless propaganda of course. The buddhist protests had been peaceful ones, ones that simply wanted better rights and such. Of course, the goverment considered any unauthorized protest a riot. So every time, Intellegince-Consortium agents and Riot Surpression Arm of the Red Tide Police(nicknamed the R-SWAT) would attack the protestors with riot sticks, tasers, tear gas, and riot shields. Ocassionaly the protestors would fight back and the police and Intellegince-Consortium would respond with gunfire.

But the protests continued to happen. So now, all over Red Tide, Buddhists were lined up infront of mass graves and gunned down by Intellegince-Consortium Agents. They could not stop the rumors, however, and soon these rumors would spread outside of the country. Either that or a spy sattelite would catch a massacre in progress. Whichever came first.

OOC:This came out of boredom... so please, no 'how unoriginal' posts.

Bump! Threats Of War? Condemnations? Anybody?!

If you continue this genocide, we will be forced to act. This is your first and final warning.

We also ask that you allow us to take these citizens from your opressive regime.

If you continue to kill just buddist we will be angry!!!

Kill other religions or we will kill them for you

Approved religions to kill:
SCIENCETOLOGY!
Mormonism
Any Form of Christianity
Islam
Wicca
Emonism

This is a warning, PB is watching you...

Official Imperial Communique
We denounce religious persecution in any way, shape, or form; and we feel that it is a despicable practice. Cease these acts of hatred now.

To Psyker Bearzerkers:
We also denounce your words of approving several groups to be killed. This is also despicable [OOC: Although I agree with the Scientology part. Not that they should be killed... I just don't like 'em.], and we highly suggest you take your statement back before we... "fully comprehend" your words.

the commonwealth will not stand for this outrage against human right if you do not discontinue all action against this religion we will have no choice but to resolve this though military action

OOC: Now comes the routine denials... by the way, you guys dont happen to have any EVIDENCE, do you?

End Message

OOC: They are referring to the small bands of communist, democratic-socialist, and democratic-capitilist rebels that are waging a guerilla war against the Red Tide Goverment. The military is in the process of squashing out the rebellion.

this is an outrage you expect a nation such as us to believe this BS sat photos show that the rain forest has nothing but temples used by monks in there and weapons experts at your southern border have identified the only weapons used as the ones used by your government troops

To the government of Red Tide -
We have been informed that the pacification campaign that your military has begun against rebels in the southeastern rain forests of your nation has been conducted in an unnecessarily brutal manner. Allegations have come out of possible massacres. We request that you investigate these alleged massacres so as to assure the world that you do not condone mass murder in the defence of the state.

Mark Warner, Foreign Minister of The Beltway

OOC: Spit Break... I must ask, what southern border? I AM AN ISLAND!
IC:Official Reply
"Thank you, but no. Our reasons are our own, but I will let you know that no such 'genocide' campaign has been waged.

PS: If by 'brutal massacres' you mean the constant putting down of riots? Then yes, we do do that."
End Message

To the government of Red Tide -
For appearance's sake, since many nations have been willing to fight over allegations of genocide, we recommend that you at least conduct a cursory investigation. Please note that although we have not claimed that you have committed genocide, several other nations have apparently done so, and more will be willing to intervene to support those nations if all they receive is your word that you have not committed genocide.
Sincerely,
Mark Warner, Foreign Minister of The Beltway

I'd do more if I weren't just out of a war with Gilabad.

The Commonalitarianism denounces this genocide and sees it as a crime against humanity. We are asking any buddhists who seek a safe haven from this genocide to come to the Commonalitarianism. We have a need for both skilled and unskilled labor. We will provide transportation one way to leave your homeland for our domes. Our country provides both political and religious freedom.

Second Phase:
In a hidden room cloaked and masked individuals from the Sanctuary Movement discuss how to bring out buddhists with scientific and technical skills that have been taken by the government. They will provide them with tickets and way out of the country. We are going to put $500 million dollars into an underground civilian movement to bring scientists and skilled intellectuals out of the country. A systematic brain drain.

Third Phase:

The Ming Commercial House, RFS-- Registered Family Syndicate our largest military, prison, and mercenary supply company is very angry. Many of them are buddhists. They are going to funnel money into piracy hiring freebooters to attack and take ships as well as fund local pirate and criminal organizations to increase crime and provide a funnel for the money and goods to enter the Commonalitarianism. This should amount to $5 billion dollars in increased criminal and piratical activity. We should also get a decent return on the goods. This will be done through local criminal elements and use fronts that appear to be international in appearance.

OOC: sorry didn't know you were an island lets say a military ship that was on its way home then

"if your nation has nothing to hide then let international observers from my nation and other in to your nation to see whats truth and whats not"

Unfortuanantly, for Commonalitarianism, the Red Tide Mafia had a monopoly on the black market and criminal world in Red Tide. Nothing could go out or in illegaly with out their knowledge, and that included people. They knew all the good smuggling points, they had acess to Russian military hardware, and, worst of all, they were secretly cooperating with the Red Tide Goverment.

The Buddhists(and intellectuals, and scientists) couldnt leave legally either. Red Tide law expressedly bans regular citizens from moving out of the country or even travelling abroad. Individual citizen crime was negligible in Red Tide, as the police and Intellegince-Consortium was extremely harsh when it came to dealing with criminals. Most common crooks couldnt pay bribes or bail anyways, and being assigned to a Tech-Com Corporation Prison was a death sentence in itself, given the safety standards.

The messages from Beltway and Spit Break were not replied to, they had been told to keep out and the would have to listen.

OOC - We didn't ask to investigate ourselves; we encouraged you to investigate.

From: commonwealth of spit break

To: beltway

this recent news comming out of red tide is disturbing and there government is no longer responding to international message's i believe that we are running out of options and a military invasion might be the only way to solve this

Signed

Gilbert Durandal Chairman of the PLANT supreme council

Given the number of riots occurring within Red Tide and the growing threat of a new violent upheaval by our own Naveiran Seperatists, We would like to send groups of our own civil defense forces to train wit the red-Tide riot police and to perhaps aid in dispersing some of the riots, the Mondothian Civil Defense force has a reputation for peacefully breaking up such uprisings and given the absurd allegations that your forces are comitting unnecessary brutality in dealing with these rioters, such help int he civil sector could probably lead to a better international image and mitigate these vicious rumors.

OOC: Of course, if you let my people in, when they get there, they will be all 'surprised' to find that you actually are using excessive violence and what not. Thus allowing me to offer a proper condemnation

--Secret--
To Gilbert Durandal, Chairman of the PLANT supreme council, Commonwealth of Spit break -

War is by no means the only option here, if you feel that this is an issue of concern. Assuming you have clear, convincing evidence of genocide, then release said evidence, officially condemn Red Tide, and cut diplomatic ties with Red Tide. If Red Tide does not react to the released evidence and condemnation, move on to a boycott of Red Tide and attempt to convince other nations to do so as well. If this, too, fails, ensure that you have a large enough alliance to successfully defeat Red Tide and only then inform that nation that you and your allies are prepared to go to war with Red Tide over the genocide that nation has committed. If Red Tide refuses to back down, then and only then should you declare war. However, at every step of the way, provide Red Tide with reasonable options (for them) other than those that will take them farther down the path to war. If you fail to follow this sequence, and instead simply declare war, then you are essentially war-mongering by failing to fully use diplomacy and outweigh all other alternatives.

Mark Warner, Foreign Minister of The Beltway

To: The Government of Red Tide (Not a very important letter)
From: Senator Nate Richardson of Axinon (B-WT)

I was watching international news this morning when I saw that your nation was using "any means necessary" to subdue Buddhist riots. I was wondering. As far as I know, no good has ever come from the phrase "any means necessary". I would rest much easier knowing what means were being used. Also, I was wondering... Buddhists do not tend to be violent. Does your nation contain some radical Buddhist sect or something? I am just curious. As a ordinary senator, I do not hold any real power to take action of any sort. I hope for a response soon, although I know that your government is full of busy people and this is not a high priority letter. Thank you.

OOC - Killing temples? Impressive, given that they're inanimate...
Oh, and how did you get those photos, anyways?

OOC: i ment destroying the temples and killing the monks and the photo's both top down sat. photos and from people who got a few photos to are embassy at great risk they were brought to me when are embassy staff packed up and left burning every thing in the embassy that they could not take with them

OOC: We had an embassy? I highly doubt that, I dont recall ever establishing an Embassy with you.

IC: The messages this time actually recieved some notice, but the Red Tidean Goverment was still debating over how to respond to the messages, and it look like they couldnt come up with a good answer, nor would they answer until they came up with a good one, they didnt particularly care if there was a war, even if the enemy won(which was unlikely), it would be a phyrric victory. Finally the Supreme Commander made his decision.

We as a nation ask fellow nations to embargo this nation not letting any ships leave port into international waters as well as sanction any international trade into the country. We are stopping shipping any goods to Red Tide2. We also ask that ambassadors be withdrawn from said nation to bring pressure to change.

We are not just paying internal people, we would also be financing foreign piracy and freebooters or privateers (. Nations which didn't like you close to your borders) . Thus you would be forced to protect your fishing, commercial, and international vessels with military escorts a tremendous expense. The money would quietly switch to external sources. $5 billion dollars.

We also laugh at their fruitless embargo, seeing as we do not have any trade with them, it is a non-issue.

OFFICAIL MESSAGE FROM THE ILLIORIAN NATIONAL COMMAND TO RED TIDE
Have fun with your petty massacres.
________________________________________________________________
Illior totally does not support these genocidal massacres by your government, and while our two nations have never had any relations, if we had, we would sever them! God save your murderous souls.
OOC: Guess who wrote which message....

OOC: Good for laughing at the embargo. It includes a blockade. We have a right to board, seize, and turn back any ships entering our waters. Our nation tries to claim rights to the totality of the Pacific ocean international waters. This should be interesting. Even with a few security personnel, there should be a few nice firefights and some disappearing ships. This would affect almost all ships entering international waters in the Pacific. It would also start a war after a while. First thing would happen would be satellite communication and wireless communication would be jammed. Then there would be boarding and bloody firefights. The black box would be thrown overboard. Followed by the contents of the ships being turned into supplies and the ships themselves being scrapped. With $5 billion in support, the pirates could easily send enough men to swarm and take even a ship with security personnel.

OOC: I am arming pirates in other words other nations and paying them to attack Red Tide 2, I am paying up to $5 billion dollars in aid. The first payment will be $500 million to arm small fast attack ships and crews if they want a go at it. This ways I can play the game of plausible denial.

Second Phase: Seizing of assets. We are going to send out a message to the world asking them to freeze all assets in foreign accounts of Red Tide2 because they are most likely attached to the criminal element and the government.

OOC: A blockade would be utterly ineffective against my nation, I am a very large island IN THE PACIFIC, you cannot have enough ships to be able to effectively blockade me. And while it is possible to jam regular radios, direct sattelite uplinks and emergency beacons are not possible to jam.

Also, why dont you try and Role play one of your ships 'blockading' me try and sieze one of my ships while it is near my waters.

It wasn't long before other protestors took to the streets...

"KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL!" Cultists crawled from their hiding places all over the island, grabbing whatever guns they could. They hunted down any who looked like Bhudda, and even people who had bald heads. Temples were being burned and looting was becoming more popular. The "preists" had told their "children" that Bhuddists were one of the many forces keeping back the Old Ones. If they could be killed...perhaps Father Dagon would be free!

OOC: Not trying to Godmod, just putting in my two cents. The Horde has infiltrated many areas, your nation being one among them. However if you say your "security" is too tough, I will edit them coming to the island.

OOC: Well there is a bit of a problem, only registered hunters, Tech-Com Corporation Security Personnel, Police, Intellegince-Consortium, and the military are legally allowed to possess fire arms. Red Tide Mafia members also usually own weapons, but they dont have them when said members venture into the more secure areas. The Red Tide Mafia are willing to sell customer submachine guns and assault rifles. You wont expect any trouble from the police, Intellegince-Consortium, and Military as long as you dont bring them into their view.

--Secret--

At the Ministry of Economic Warfare:

Several operatives sat behind computers. They had been given a special order crack into the shipping manifests of companies in Red Tide 2. Several back door viruses and intrusion programs were fed into the main shipping companies in Red Tide 2, also a special program called Gatorade, an ISP sucker simply cut out and automatically sucked and copied all of the shipping websites parsing them with manifests and the location of shipping coming in and out of Red Tide 2. This was fed directly to the "pirates" so we would know where most of the commercial shipping was going inside and outside of Red Tide 2. We are aiming at High Seas shipping. Specifically oil tankers, and other large cargos flying Red Tide 2 flags.

Here goes an attack. We have hired a group of "Indonesian" style pirates to attack and take boats. We simply paid them and they would do what they wanted.

Thin brown men waited in the cover of darkness. They had a dozen wooden black painted fast speed boats. They were low in the water and would not appear on radar. Most wore simple kerchiefs on their mouths and were barefooted with thick callused feet. Most had a simple flak vest. They had bamboo climbing poles, grapples, and had attacked many commercial vessels before. Thai their leader was from a foreign criminal gang that had been a nuisance before. Several fishing boats had disappeared with their crews because of them. All of them had high powered automatic rifles. Several had SMAWs for blowing their way into the ship. All of them had stun grenades and machetes. A few even had some plastic explosives. Many were deserters from foreign armies. Even cigarettes and watches would be valuable to them. They never asked who paid them. They were just happy to have money to feed their families.

They waited until utter darkness. Then some approached the blind spot of ships. They were looking for ships with not enough lighting or lax crews. Ones where they could enter and overpower the crew quickly. They waited until a target far from the police showed up. They watched in the darkness as they drifted close to the ship. Then they stormed up the edges of the boat onto the ship shooting any deck patrols.

OOC: Well there is a bit of a problem, only registered hunters, Tech-Com Corporation Security Personnel, Police, Intellegince-Consortium, and the military are legally allowed to possess fire arms. Red Tide Mafia members also usually own weapons, but they dont have them when said members venture into the more secure areas. The Red Tide Mafia are willing to sell customer submachine guns and assault rifles. You wont expect any trouble from the police, Intellegince-Consortium, and Military as long as you dont bring them into their view.
OOC: What if the Horde has smuggled in weapons? Each "church" is expected to keep firearms, and each "convert" is expected to be fairly proficient in their use. Seeing as how the cult has infiltrated already, I would imagine that they have brought weapons with them. However, if you are still against this, I will edit.

The Tech-Com Corporation was unaffected by the electronic attack, they didnt even noticed, as they had developed their own encryption programs specifically for themselves, and their rules forbid the downloading of non-work related stuff that would result in spam, spyware, etc. etc.

The only other shipping companies, all fronts for the Red Tide Mafia, suffered more heavily, as they were relying on encryption dating to the time of the Soviet Union(in some cases, BY the soviet union). A whole bunch of data on 'patatoe shipments', actually arm shipments in disquise, disappeared off of these companies.

On the ship, the boarders initially found just unarmed sailors onboard. Opening up was a mistake, it alerted the ships crew. The captain, who was on the bridge, immediatly hit the switch on his emergency beacon transmitter and hit the deck. A sniper who had been half-asleep in a darkspot up on the roof of the bridge began to search out leaders and pick them off with his silenced M-150 Sniper Rifle. The night duty security personnel were alerted but didnt rush out onto the deck, instead, two security personnel armed with M-200 Light Machine Guns raced out onto the bridge deck and opened up on the boarders.

14:30 - Apolyton, Firaxistan

“Good afternoon, gentlemen,” the Foreign Advisor of Firaxistan spoke as he stepped into the room, “it appears we’ve got something important on our hands.” The Chancellor’s advisors nodded sullenly as another meeting began to start. “Unfortunately, as you all know, our Chairman isn’t able to attend at the moment due to complications, so I was chosen by him to act as his representative.”

“This is all good and grand, Ed, but what is going on?” the Chairman of the Ministry of Defense asked.

“Ah, good question,” he muttered, passing a satellite picture around, “apparently, a situation has arisen in a foreign country. Allegedly, Buddhists are being led to gravesites, where they are killed. As of the moment, we have been advised to stay neutral in this confrontation, but once the public gets wind of this, we’ll have to be taking sides,” Ed said, his face showing the stress of his position.

A general spoke up, “We don’t have the military to oppose them, and we won’t be in a good spot if they lose. Perhaps we can keep this from the public.”

“That’s not a choice, General, the public has to know about this. If not from us, but from foreign countries,” another advisor said, raising his hand.

“Perhaps, a land invasion wouldn’t be the best idea. Would it be possible to drop in a Special Forces team? Of course, we aren’t officially supporting their actions.”

“Brilliant! General Decker, task your best men on it. Get them in there as soon as possible,” Ed Bakar said, a smile on his face, they would be in there by tomorrow, if everything went as planned.

The number of Buddhists had dropped steadily, going from a good hundred million, all the way down to three million. The remnants had taken to hiding for now. The mass graves were covered up with dirt, the police went back to their regular duties, their officers having nightmares and drinking heavily about the mass murders almost immediatly. The Intellegince-Consortium, however, continued searching for the remaining Buddhists.

10,000 RMAF Special Ops Units

25,000 Lion-Class Main Battle Tanks

1,000 F-18 Fighters

1,500 Armadillo-Class Bombers (Regular Bombers, it's just to sound Big.)

OOC: :Looks with INCREDIBLE amazement at troop levels: I HIGHLY doubt you are able to support all of that equipment. The only thing that seems right is the five battleships. 1,500 cruisers and 10,000 aircraft(not to mention 250,000 Main Battle Tanks) is INSANE!

OCC: Edited, and you were right... I got carryed away <.<

OOC: Yeh.... still high in the cruisers... at almost 4 billion, I don't have that many... I think.... I might, but I don't know...

OOC: am only over 400 million almost 500 million not even my carrier groups are that large

OCC: I might be a bit sucky on the maths, but I don't see 750 cruisers being that much of a problem, but... go right ahead on giving reasonable numbers, cause i'm stumped.

OOC: look at it this way look at you budget then how muc each oof those ships cost to build and maintain

OCC: I might be a bit sucky on the maths, but I don't see 750 cruisers being that much of a problem, but... go right ahead on giving reasonable numbers, cause i'm stumped.
Well... If that's you whole navy, then maybe it's fine... but if really want a distributed navy, check out RSIN...

OCC: RE-EDITED, hopefully my last edit

OOC: thats better

If we have an emergency beacon. Here goes. With 40 men boarding two soldiers would be easy to spot and be cut to ribbons. The regular sailors are taken off the ship immediately by ten men to the speed boats. They are tied with plastic ties. Several of the speed boats leave with their cargo. The pirates will send ransom notes to the shipping company. The sniper kills two of the men, but the muzzle flash unless there is a flash suppressor is given off. Several stun grenades-- flash bangs are thrown in the general direction of the sniper. Some men move forward in that direction as well, five of them. The entrance wound would also show the general direction. The hatch to the main cabin is blown in with explosives.

Several men pour in screaming "Where is the safe and valuables, you die and sailors die if you don't open the safe." Another man looks around and shoots holes in the alarm box. Another four yells prodding two of the unarmed sailors forward "You tell me where the black box, the safe, and the money or valuables." Ten of the forty carry off any easily grabable electronics and jewelry. They plan on leaving quickly. They tell the captain he will come with them once the safe is open. He has to cooperate now. There is not much time.

OOC: Killing that many buddhists would take time. Unless you are lining up on the roadside after digging a shallow grave and just shooting them the time period would be too short. There also should be a small amount of resistance, you'd be surprised at what makes a weapon. Molotov cocktails, kitchen chemstry, and hunting rifles for those who are registered hunters would do wonders for resisting arrest. Many would simply flee to any boats they could get their hands on in a stampede. I can imagine them rioting to get at the boats to escape after the first wave of shootings.

As part of our cyberattack we are also using publicly available information on the shipping lane, non-state secret stuff, if I was a foreign investor how would I arrange for shipping stuff. A site ripper or ISP ripper doesn't bother with encryption, it copies the whole thing to another location mirroring it, searches for areas without proper protection, checks to see if anyone forgot to put up firewalls beyond the first layer, it is not working on encryption, but mistakes, backdoors, remote logins, human error. Cracking doesn't come until the first stage is done.

a ZAFT carrier group moved in for a blockade in international waters in the south western sector the carrier group of 3 carriers 12 battle ships and 18 destroyers spread out there were a mile away from the line to make sure they could catch a ship with time to spare

OOC: You made too many assumptions... lets reverse a little.(AND DONT CLAIM MY CASUALTIES!!!)

First off, I CLEARLY STATED that the M-150 is silenced, which means it has a surpressor.

Second off, by the time you have SEEN those two men on the bridge, they will have layed down a punishing wall of bullets with their LMGs.

Third off, you are forgetting the OTHER men on the bridge, with M-100 Assault Rifles, ready to pick your men off as they come in through the bridges only door.

Fourth off, the cargo, too is gaurded.

IC: The snipers surpressor does not give away his pricise position, and the flashbang grenades land too far away to do anything. The sniper goes on picking off leaders.

As soon as the first boarder rushes into the bridge, his head is shot at, accurately, at point blank range by a M-100 Assault Rifle to his left. There is another Security Person to the right of the door also. He too is holding a M-100 Assault Rifle.

As the men enter the cargo bay, which contains large crates of titanium. They to are ambushed, this time by fourty five security personnel positioned ontop of the crates and right around the corner of doors.

a ZAFT carrier group moved in for a blockade in international waters in the south western sector the carrier group of 3 carriers 12 battle ships and 18 destroyers spread out there were a mile away from the line to make sure they could catch a ship with time to spare
OOC: How far away(in kilometers) are you from my nations coast?

IC: Unfortuanantly for the Spit Breakians, no cargo comes in or out of the SouthWestern jungles, for the area contains no ports.

OOC:relax am 1 mile(3.5 Km) away from the crossing between your waters and international water

IC
after noticing there were no port the blockade fleet moved around to the eastern side still keeping 1 mile away from the border

Two men firing machine guns would kill eight people.

27 men return fire at two men with machine The five grenades basically go off in random places setting off massive flashes and bangs which would knock out random people.

The sniper would kill three people quickly in the initial assault. Thai the leader of the assault took a bullet to the head.

Ten men run in. Four die instantly from the firing of the assault rifles at close range.

5 assault rifles go off in an enclosed space. Most fire is blocked by the falling bodies. One man acts stupid and fires the SMAW into the captains compartment. Massive explosive at close range should kill both us and them. 3 of our men die from the SMAW. Two are dazed and wounded.

Four men going into the cargo compartment die from the fire of forty five security guards. One as he dies sets off the detonator of an explosive he planned to blow up the engines of the ship when he left the ship. This should be 15 lbs of C-4.

There are twenty men running into the L-100s. Half of them die. They are firing as they run forward. The people firing the L-100s should take about 10 bursts of assault rifle fire.

In the first round of firing 30 of our men died. 10 are left. They are outclassed. Finish them off.

The pirates were cheap hired raiders aiming to get some hostages, some loot and head home. They ended up on a military transport ship which they thought was an oil tanker with twenty men.

OOC:Meh, it was the best material I could come up with on such short notice... my nation has a ton of it... There is stuff I import(mostly consumer goods). My economy is mostly geared towards the production of munitions.

Also, arnt buddhists, I dunno, peaceful?

IC: The entire captains compartment goes KABOOM! It kills the two security officers, the captain, and the skipper, some sailor who was hiding in the closet survives... but is unconscious and has broken bones in a variety of places.

Six of the security personnel in the cargo bay collapse from bullets to the head. Those who take bullets to the chest are protected by their body armor(which is the same kind used by the Red Tide Military). The remaning ones take careful aim, making sure to fire in bursts and single shots, mainly aiming for the face.

The entire engine area is wrecked, the explosion completely destroys the engine. The ship suddenly is filled only with the sound of gunfire and standard-sea-creaking.

The Spit Breakians, meanwhile, had long been detected by Red Tidean Over-The-Horizon RADAR. The Red Tide goverment, due to the complete lack of any actual display of force(the Spit Breakians task force comes no where near the size of the Red Tide Navy), assumes to be some sort of an exercise. A Tu-95 BEAR-RT Reconnasiance/Anti-Sub Aircraft is stationed within Red Tides Airspace close to the Spit Breakian taskforce, far away enough to still be in Red Tide Airspace, but close enough so it can monitor the radio conversations inbetween ships, as well as their RADAR and keep an exact tab on how many ships there are. All Red Tidean commercial traffic is ordered to keep away from the area incase of any live firing exercises.

Not satisfied with the response given to him by the Red Tide government, Nate Richardson decided to report all the information he had to the Senate. In a floor speech, Richardson detailed all he knew, noting that he was unsure weather the Buddhist protestors had been violent or not. After much chaotic debate, the Senate wrote a request to the Foreign Relations Department, asking what was going on in Red Tide. Of course, the Foreign Relations department had no idea either, but they did find out that a number of nations were engaging in an active blockade of Red Tide. One person from the department wrote the following message to both Commonalitarianism and Spit break:

To: The Foreign Relations Department or local equivilent of recipient nation.
From: Axinonian Foreign Relations Department

We have been unable to pin down fully what exactly has been going on in Red Tide. While we suspect human rights violations, our intelligence network had never at any time operated in Red Tide, and the government has not responded to a request for information by one of our number. We thank you for your time.

The remaining pirates attempt to run back to the boats. They are terrified. Expecting a cargo ship they got something else. They head for the edge of the boat. Hearing gun fire and explosions the remaining pirates attempt to motor away, firing three or four smaw shots close in at the boat as they leave. There were two pirates remaining in each of the six boats which were used for boarding. They are abandoning their companions.

on international TV the chairman shows the world proof of red tide human rights violations

Chairman: nations of the world i give you proof of red tide human rights violations

*shows photos in big display slide show*

Chairman: as you can you see photo's smuggled out of red tide show security forces murdering and barrieing monks and from other photos you can see that there was nothing but statues in those temples

*shows other pictures and continues talking about the violations*

Chairman: thank you for listening

OOC: Care to explain how you got those photos?

OOC:umm i kinda already explained if you go back

OOC:Where?

OOC:a page or two back you asked me after they get smuggled out of the country at a high cost

OOC: Oh! You mean when they were brought to the embassy that never existed? Yeah, there is one problem with that, THAT EMBASSY NEVER EXISTED!

OOC: call it more of a temporary office some one had to deliver messages to your gov

OOC: Its called telecommunication, but whatever.

IC:Official Statement From Red Tide Goverment
"We denounce the lies and propoganda of the Spit Breakians. In retaliation for their pathetic attempt to turn the international community against us, we will arrest all Spit Breakians on sight for espionage. All Spit Breakian aircraft and ships in Red Tidean waters/airspace are to dock/land or be sunk/shot down. That is all."

propaganda? lies? we have no people in your country no aircraft in your space no ships in your waters and we will welcome inspecters from other nations to come here a varify that these are athentic and not created am sure they will find they are

A single TS-1 Sattelite slid through the atmosphere, its orbit had been adjusted minutes earlier to bring it over the Spit Breakian Fleet. As it passed over the Spit Breakians taskforces flagship, it ejected a 9 foot pole of pure tungsten towards the Earth. The Tungsten Rod left the sattelite at mach 9. Gravity pulled it down, down, down... until it hit the surface with the kinetic energy of 1,000 tons of TNT... right on the Spit Breakian flagship.

OOC: accully for a blockade to work your fleet has to be moving and mine was at full speed about 26 knots out of there any way

IC

like any explosive at the speed much can detonate it since it was just a box a intercapter missile was launcher strait up at it (as in it was fired from below it) as the fleet was making full speed to the Spit break naval station

OOC: To bad it isnt that simple, the tungsten rod is coming down at an angle(although a pretty shallow one) and is moving too fast for an interceptor missile to attack. Furthermore, I highly doubt that an interceptor missile would do anything to a 9 foot rod of tungsten(which is used in tank armor).

OOC: /_ the straight like is my ship the other one is your rod roing into the ocean any way my nation use's a tungsten,titianium composit alloy vary strong and vary thick and also my carrier moves pretty fast the shallow angle your coming in at i suggest you make miss to serve as a warning shot telling us to back off after all last thing you need is me invading

OOC: Actually, I could crush you pretty easily. And that angle is too steep, think shallower. Also, I to use a combination of tungsten and titanium in my tanks. Also, I dont give a damn what kind of armor your ship has. If that tungsten rod hits it, its going to have the kinetic energy of a tactical nuclear bomb, and all of that energy is going to be focused at the tip of the rod, meaning it will drive straight through your ship.

OOC: ya i thought you would say something like that specking of tactical nukes look up a notices those sat.'s up there

OOC: Nuke me and your nation is as good as glass... VERY radioactive glass.

OOC: oooooo shiny lol not if i turn you into glass first......didn't this just turn into the cold war fast

IC

due to the carriers speed major damage was avoided but the ship was hit due to secondary system the large hole in the hull was quickly sealed and the fleet continued on

--------------------------------
you nations attack on are carrier wil be over looked this time but this will be the only time
--------------------------------

OOC: You'll be surprised at how good my automated backup systems for my nuclear weapons are...

IC:Official Statement From Red Tide
"Oh really? How about this?"
End Message

As the fleet began to steam away, up to 6,000 CM-1 RADAR guided anti-ship cruise missiles came swarming down at the 'fleet'. The CM-1s had a cruise speed of mach 3.2, a max speed of mach 3.5, was a sea skimming missile. It also contained a 1,500 pound warhead filled with C12. This was shaped so as to focus the blast. C12 was more powerful then C4 by an order of three. A single CM-1 could easily wreck a battleship.

OOC: my nation is agreeing with your demands a leaveing this is a un-Provoked attack any way its late here for me ill continue this in the morning

----- Mirhuellian Fleet Flag-ship, Medium-Distance from the Spit Breakian fleet, Pacific Ocean, Unknown Time -----

"Sir! We have Spy-Sat reports that Red Tide has attacked the Spit Breakian Blockade Fleet." Lt. Coronel Arrow, exclaimed

"Humm.... Were there any warnings prior to the attack?" CO Miguel, enquired.

"If there was, it must be on encrypted channels, sir."

"Ok... Our orders are to help Red Tide, and I intend to follow those orders! Warn the other ships to prepare for battle, we're attacking the Spit Breakian Fleet!"

"Sir, Yes Sir!"

"Dismissed."






((OCC: My flag-ship is called "Niralle's Pride" and it's one of the Red-Star Class Battle-Ships.))

OOC: That's a godmod. This would drive through your ship entirely and most likely snap it in half/bend it. and there is NO way you could avoid the rod at all. They move at 360,000 miles... PER SECOND.

Secret--

In Somaliland, Minister of Special Services Malthus Cruon is speaking to General Battuta, the most powerful pirate warlord who has risen to the top of the heap and will most likely take over the country. Battuta came to power by uniting several warlords together against the muslim extremists. He then had his brother a popular moderate muslim cleric appointed as minister of religion. Then he went to the larger countries promising civil order and death to extremists if they armed him. He got lots of arms and allies forging the largest coalition. His position against the extremists doesn't stop him from drug sales, piracy, plantation ownership, and other unethical activities.

The country has been in a civil war for fifteen years and a huge amount of young men who know nothing but constant war, guerrilla war, and piracy. His militias are very well organized and armed to the teeth, have lots of experience, and have driven off many larger countries armies.

The general suggests that if the boats are so heavily armed that they will have to get inside men on the boats by treachery who will cut off the satellite links and sedate the crew. These people should have radios to communicate with outside teams who will take care of the crew once it is confirmed that satellite links have been cut and crews have been sedated. They will also locate the valuables and safes on the ships. An inside job.

The best way to do this is to get at the crew hiring halls. There are plenty of places where crew hiring is not properly screened. We will aim at foreign ports where sailors are hired. Almost all ships hire from international ports. It may best to hire menials this way. The unnoticed who cook and clean for the crew. Get three aboard a ship and set it up for takeover. Sedatives, cutting communications, radios, and a few other things. He says gas may be necessary. A powerful tranquilizer gas would do. Something to fire at the ship which will knock most men out before boarding, also barrier foam grenades-- glue grenades.

He sets up several teams for us to board ships. He insists because we are rich, they should have body armor, automatic shotguns with ten shot clips, assault rifles with armor piercing bullets that go through body armor, rpgs, thermite grenades, antipersonnel grenades, gas masks, and radios. Also nightcat 27 boats would be ideal. The Nigerians have them. Very stealthy.

The Commonalitarianism pays him with 1/3 of the captured russian weapons from Red Tide 2. This will give him a chance to consolidate his hold on Somaliland.

Note: The Indonesian style pirates refuse to attack large cargo ships any more. Instead they go after small private yachts and fishing boats. They should become a thorough nuisance.

Buddha was born into the Kshatriya class or warrior caste in India. While he himself gave up violence, he recognized soldiers as the protectors of his people. There is strong martial tradition in buddhism-- the Japanese often had battles by warrior monks between different temples. Buddhism is supposed to have been the precursor to shao lin fighting styles. So there should be some very nasty martial artists, and close in sword and knife fighters among the surviving buddhists. Also there is a fairly strong history of guerrilla warfare in many buddhist countries. The Vietnamese and Cambodians who are buddhist were excellent guerrilla fighters. Buddhism helped keep them calm in some of the most deadly guerrilla fighting on the planet. Most would not be hunters because many are vegetarian. There might be a few who sees this as their role fatalistically. Also being a soldier if the person is not a monk is an acceptable life role, so there should have been a decent amount of soldiers who were buddhist.

----- Near the Spit Breakian Blockade Fleet, Pacific Oceean, 20:00 -----


"Sir! We are aproaching the Spit Breakian Blockade Fleet, they will be in firing range in 3 hours." Lt Coronel Arrow informed.

"Have they noticed us yet?" CO Miguel asked.

"No, Sir. We seem to be out of range for their sensors, sir."

"Very good, ready and cross examine our Defence Systems, we wouldn't want to have any one of them failing mid-battle. Also ready up the armement system, and cross examine it too."

"Sir! Yes Sir! Is that all, Sir?"

"No, warn the fleet, the crew, and fuel up the Aerial Assault or Extraction Air-Force, I want to be able to confuse their defense systems, and extract our infantry. Also order the carriers to head to Red Tide as soon as we engage the enemy, that'll provide somewhat of a safe passage.
Also send a message to them, asking for their retreat, we could wind up avoiding this battle."

"Sir, Yes Sir!"

"Dismissed."



From:Niralle's Pride
To:Spit Breakian Blockade Fleet
Message:Please stop your blockade, or we will be forced to attack you, and sink your ships.


((OCC: This is a warning, not a blunt act of war))

OOC: ok red tide though has already begun to attack and i was still hit man

IC

-----------------------
are fleet is currently waiting for 3 oil tankers as you know the sea's north of red tide have high pirate and terrorist activaty and my nation as you are well awere is one of many who escort these ships we are not here for any military action against you or red tide
-----------------------

5 min later 3 oil tankers meet up with the moving fleet the fleet takes formation around it as 4 Vosgulov-class attack submarines meet up with the fleet as the fleet fends off a few attacks

15:00 – Ten kilometers from Insertion Site, 5 Kilometers from Northern Shore
“Good, you know what’s happening. It’s a Class 7 Code, and you know the drill. If you encounter a border patrol, hide. Only engage as a last-ditch defense, understood,” the commander shouted to the Special Forces team.

“Yes, sir,” the team leader, Alan Chandra, said as he shouldered the parachute onto his back.

“Remember your cover story. Once you’re in, it’ll be one…” the commander began to mutter.

The demolitions expert, Sophia Adams, cut him off, “That’s understood, Commander, we’ll finish this, or we’ll die.”

“Good luck. Now go,” he said, his hand pushing all five members of the team out of the plane, plummeting to the ground below, “And may God be with you.”

* * *

Sophia fell to the ground as she cut herself loose of her parachute. Everything had gone well so far, as long as she could meet up with the other four members of the team. Luckily, she had landed near one of the other members, Dack Baradelli, the team’s sniper. She quickly took a look around her to make sure she hadn’t dropped near a border patrol, then flipped out a GPS system from her belt, checking her position.

“He’s two mile north of here, let’s hope for the best,” she whispered as she turned towards the north, beginning her first step towards completion.

* * *

“-locked on, sir,” the pilot muttered nervously to the commander.

“They’re locked on? Got any ideas?”

“That’s a negative, sir. I’ll try evasive maneuvers.” the pilot said, trying to regain his nerves. He quickly flipped the ailerons down, trying to force the plane upwards. With the missiles still rocketing towards them, he tried to a barrel roll in a last-ditch effort to survive.

“Almost got-” the pilot managed to say as the plane burst into flames.

* * *

Dack Baradelli tried to compose himself as he fell to the ground, his camouflaged uniform helping him to blend in to his earthen surroundings. He muttered a short prayer as he heard a sound in front of him. Perhaps he could hide from them. That was his last thought as he was shot in the back of the head.

OOC: My soldiers and Intellegince-Consortium Agents have no concept of religion. Only the officers above the rank of Lieutenant Colonel have a religion... and those that were buddhists were shot in the opening stages of the genocide.

Firaxistan: Where exactly are you landing? And how did you get the plane in without being detected?

Spit Break: You have yet to post casualties for my missile attack(which I doubt anymore then a few ships will survive, given the number and power of my missiles)

And finally, for everybody, WOO-HOO! SPRING BREAK!

OOC: Edited. Again. Should make a bit more sense. I'm really sorry if I caused any problems, though.

OOC:haha you wish only a few ships would live i got a interception system called CIWS on my ships its capable of intercepting aircraft far faster then your missiles i also have intercepter missiles

the missiles were coming in fast the CIWS system opened fire intercepting many of the missile intercepter missiles also got a few but a fair number hit the fleet the Carrier providence took a hit to its flight deck several destroyers lost there main gun or heli deck and 2 battle ships were hit hard many were hurt some were dead but the fleet continued on

OOC: happy now my forces are out of there and out of your range so can your gov shut the hell up for once

"Sir! Red Tide has attacked the blockade." Lt Coronel Arrow, shouted.

"WHAT!? Ready the Defence Array System, load the cannons, load the rocket launchers, scramble the bombers and order them to circle the fleet at the highest altitude possible, we're taking offensive manuvers." CO Miguel ordered.

"Sir, should we fire?"

"No, not yet, firing now would mean a waste of rounds and missiles, no I want to use a joint attack, bombs combined with some of our shells and missiles, so we can confuse and overload their defence systems, besides they are weakened, victory won't be easy, but it will be easier than before."

"Ok, Sir!"



And so the Mirhuellian Task Force readies itself for the battle ahead, the next few hours will be the last of many men involved... and decisive for all of them.


((OCC: Getting in DA ZONE!))

OOC: I am sorry to inform you that CIWS has a range of three kilometers. You would be able to engage one, maybe two missiles if it gets lucky, with each CIWS before the missiles slammed into your ships(thats assuming their automated). Therefore, your ships have taken much, much more casualties then you have posted, I suggest you try again.

OOC: Edited. Anything else you want me to fix, or would you prefer more casualties on my part? I just want to know if your Border Patrol would be better-trained, or whatever.

OOC: I dont have border patrols given the fact that I am an island. Maybe I should elaborate on my terrain.

The North and North Western Red Tide consists of rolling hills, with the occasional medium sized grassland or hilltop. It is filled mostly with fishing villages, a few port towns, and loads of Tech-Com Corporation 'Mass Farms'. Goverment presence is moderate here, although, given how militarised Red Tide is, that isnt saying much.

The North East and Eastern Red Tide consists of mountains, Goverment Presence here is VERY low, which allows the Red Tide Mafia to thrive, indeed they have set up numerous bases here.

South Eastern Red Tide is Jungle, it also contains most of the rivers. Goverment forces are currently in a mop-up operation against various rebel groups. Therefore, goverment presence is high.

South and Southwestern Red Tide consist of large grasslands. There is alot of farms here, as well as most of the countries population, including the capitol. Goverment presence, naturally, is severely high.

The West Red Tide is toxic and radioactive. The Radiation levels are so high that HAZMAT suits are rendered useless. The reasons are the plethora of fission power plants and WMD test sites. The Fission power plants are fully automated, but have safety standards that would make an IAEA Investigator shoot himself. Goverment presence is nil... as if it would matter.

The center of Red Tide is a desert, there are plenty of air and army bases here, aswell as most of the nations land based nukes(silo placed and mobile), in the dead center of Red Tide is Strategic Command Headquarters. This control Red Tides Sattelites and strategic weapons, aswell as housing the insanely powerful Over-The-Horizon RADAR.

OOC: I am sorry to inform you that CIWS has a range of three kilometers. You would be able to engage one, maybe two missiles if it gets lucky, with each CIWS before the missiles slammed into your ships(thats assuming their automated). Therefore, your ships have taken much, much more casualties then you have posted, I suggest you try again.
OOC: Depending on his missile defense system, each ship could engage up to ten or more, that's with NS Missile defense systems though. The normal ones on an american AEGIS destroyer, with it's anti missile missiles and it's CIWS, it can handle quite a few, but like you said, CIWS is CLOSE IN WEAPONS SYSTEM, it's effective range a few thousand yards at most, and even then, it's only got about a 50-70% Kill rate when 1 gun fires on it's own. Without knowing specifically what he's got on his ships, I can't say exaclty how good it is...
IC:
"Uh, General?"
"What now Ben?"
"Mark, sir, and we have RT2 missiles heading for Spit Break ships."
"GOOD! Teach those idiots not to mess with their nation..."
"You want to launch a response sir?"
"Hell yes, I want in! get a CBG over there!"
"To help..."
"Of course RT2..."
"But sir..."
"No buts... DO IT!"
No message was ever sent to the fleet.

OOC: thing is there are multiple CIWS guns on my ships and man you got some wacked up in the head commander if your helping him

IC

even though the fleet was limping in they made it to the Fortress of Jachin Due a massive fortress on a Island that guarded the homeland the Jachin defence force was a massive one not to be messed with many nations know that the foolish ones learned the hard way

We are going to use a stealthed missile sub to attack West Red Tide. The sub will fire three cruise missiles loaded with airborne warheads. Flying in low they will explode releasing a super strain of Deinococcus Radiodurans, a radiation eating bacteria. This strain is 50 times as strong as the regular strain it is airborne and will spread like crazy. It is so strong that it can eat regular processed uranium and plutonium... We have other bacteriologic ecoweapons. We are testing this one out. Radiodurans can normally take 1.5 million rads or 1000 times the normal level of radiation, ours can take 75 million rads. This should be interesting. It should incapacitate your nuclear plants in a short amount of time.

OOC::p(On commander part, and no he ain't wacked, it's just illiorian policy to help those who have their sovreignty invaded or violated, they really don't give a crap about Human Rights violaters) and anyways, multiple CIWS guns only increases the accuracy or ROF, not both at the same time, so many missiles would still nail you... exactly what ships you usin?

OOC: violated we never did any thing a blockade is not a violation of there sovreignty crossing into the border would with out a good reason now his attack on my fleet in international waters thats a violation just lucky my backup systems sealed most of the holes allowing the fleet to continue to Jachin

OOC: Hrm... I hate being techie police but a couple of things...
1. Nuclear reactor fuel rods are normally kept in water, not allowing any air to touch them, rendering this "airborne strain" absolutley useless against that target.
2. Most nuclear missiles and weapons I know of are normally kept in bunkers that can withstand a nuclear attack, meaning they have filtered air supplies and, once again, not allowing outside air to reach the plutonium or uranium, rendering this useless. the only effect that this airborne strain would have would be to eat all the background radiation in RT 2, destroy all the smoke detectors and other household appliances that use radioactive materials, rendering those useless.
3. As I remeber, this thing "eats" radiation. That would mean it would absorb the Alpha and beta particles, and absorb the gamma rays coming off of the radioactive material. Unless this "airborne strain" eats just atoms, it wouldn't do crap against the uranium or plutonium cores. If it did eat atoms, it would end up being a WMD, killing off RT2 people buildings and whatever it touched, causing a WMD retaliation against your country... not adviseable...

OOC:i have to say he is right even my country would invade....maybe

IC: The cruise missiles impacted the powerplants with a dull thud... and did nothing. Since the nuclear chain reaction fuel rods were sealed off from the outside world... all the bacteria did was completely clean up the area, and given that these nuclear chain reactions went on for thousands of thousands of years, that didnt mean much.

Even worse, the submarine had exposed itself when it fired the cruise missiles. The rocket boosters created a heat signature on Red Tide Infrared Sattelites, A mere minute and the area was flooded with TC-2C Anti-Submarine Warfare Helicopters. The sub was quickly detected by numerous active SONAR bouys dropped by the helicopters, which acquired a firing solution, then was attacked by numerous Mk-50 Anti-Submarine Torepedos.

OOC: violated we never did any thing a blockade is not a violation of there sovreignty crossing into the border would with out a good reason now his attack on my fleet in international waters thats a violation just lucky my backup systems sealed most of the holes allowing the fleet to continue to Jachin

OOC: I am REALLY considering ignoring you. No way in HELL can you take that attack without losing at least half of the task force.

OOC: to be fair 3/4 of the fleet is beyond repiar and will be scrapped also 80% of the injurd are cridical

0:00 Northern Red Tide, Rendezvous Point

Sophia crawled her way across the open terrain as fast as her tired muscles could push her. She had been spending the past eleven hours crawling through the mountains of Red Tide, and sometime running when she thought she had heard someone behind her. After finding the corpse of Dack, though, she had pretty much given up hope.

“Sonuva… Alan, you’re actually alive,” she managed to whisper as she heard a figure approaching.

“You sound surprised… Enough with the pleasantries though, we’ve lost a member already,” Alan responded as he removed the GPS system from his belt.

“You already know about Dack?”

“Make that two members. I managed to contact Zakhar earlier, and apparently he and Eva landed together. Unfortunately, our Comm Officer was taken out pretty quick, but Zakhar managed to get here safely, I think,” he muttered under his breath, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any shelter.

Suddenly, Sophia’s face paled as a hand was placed on her shoulder, “Hello, I think Alan already told you about Lieutenant Eva?” Sophia relaxed as she realized that it was their technical officer, David Zakhar.

“Yes-” she began to answer as Alan appeared in front of her.

“I found a cave near here, I think we’ll be able to stay there for the next three hours, then we’ll have to travel about ten kilometer south of here, trying to avoid whatever it is that’s been hunting us down.”

“Roger that, sir.”

“What?” Edward Bakar managed to mutter as a member of the Firaxian Intelligence Officer woke him from his brief sleep on his desk.

“The strike team, we lost contact with their airplane.”

“This means what?” he muttered groggily as he raised his head.

“They were nine kilometers away from their drop-off point. The strike team is assumed dead.”

Returning to Jachin was actually a bad idea for the fleet, as a stationary target was even more easily hit by a tungsten rod then a moving target.

Another TS-1 Sattelite moved over the fortress, releasing all three of its Tungsten Rods at three points where the bunker was. The bunker was as good as dead.

the rods impacted the round but were slowed down enough that they only made it past level 5 before it stop only 1 level before the docks

OOC: the jachin base is under ground so are most of the defencess it can every thing upto and including a all out nuclear attack

the rods impacted the round but were slowed down enough that they only made it past level 5 before it stop only 1 level before the docks

OOC: the jachin base is under ground so are most of the defencess it can every thing upto and including a all out nuclear attack

OOC: so after destroying 5 levels of the base, most likley hitting some necessary part, does the whole thing collapse?

OOC: You don't understand. Your ship simply couldn't withstand MULTIPLE rods. They would g othrough and you'd be sunk with all the crew dead. These are as powerful as nuclear warheads. They just don't leave radiation.

OOC: ah from what i have read these are solid rods no explosives so it would just create a large hole

OOC: ah from what i have read these are solid rods no explosives so it would just create a large hole

OOC: They happen to be moving at a good fraction of the speed of light. And it wouldn't create a large hole. It would create a HUGE hole. And there's MULTIPLE RODS! Your carrier is shreds.

OOC: They happen to be moving at a good fraction of the speed of light. And it wouldn't create a large hole. It would create a HUGE hole. And there's MULTIPLE RODS! Your carrier is shreds.
OOC: lol, at the speed the rod hit, it would either create that huge hole, tear off part of the ship, or push a cylindrical part of the ship into the thinness of a quarter...

OOC: carrier no offence but WTF are you talking about no jachin Due is a underground base so is the dock yards i dont see how you could target it? it would be a random lucky guess

OOC: carrier no offence but WTF are you talking about no jachin Due is a underground base so is the dock yards i dont see how you could target it? it would be a random lucky guess
OOC:Your carrier is at sea and it was hit...

OOC: alright the carrier was hit before in got to safety deal?

OOC: alright the carrier was hit before in got to safety deal?

OOC: And it's gone? Good. Realistic scenario there. Now, it's not like he's going to go, "I LAUNCHD TEN TOWZAND RODZ ART U UR DEAD!111!!" and not have it considered a godmod, but one rod sinking a carrier is a realistic scenario.

OOC: i kinda opose red tides weapons after all he can hit me any were any time oh well a sat. of MT should only be about to carry maybe 5 or 6 of those things red tide you good with this comprimise

OOC: Well in MT, yes, you're right. 5 or 6 at MOST. That's the glory of PMT. Massive orbital bombardments...

OOC: not to mention a FT super weapon like my NEO GENESIS weapon i can wipe out half a planet with gamma radiation its awsome

The sub has sonar absorbing tiles and a thin layer of sound absorbing rubber. This is used in 1650 Amur Soviet subs today. It would show up immediately for about the time of the launch signature. This would be the time to destroy it completely. Sonar buoys would have a very hard time. The sonar signature is very faint even close up for the sub. The sub starts to drop. Then something interesting happens-- a high frequency microwave pulse fries the homing head in many of the torpedos. Five of the torpedos hit the sub blowing holes in it. The sub is completely destroyed. Some of the torpedos are veering off in random directions. The commander notes that if it hadn't launched it would be practically impossible to locate other subs in the area with sonar.

It worked exactly the way it was supposed to. There is no more radiation in the area and a huge empty area. The missiles are designed for maximum dispersal of the bacterium. They would explode in the air to cover a huge area. I was hoping because they were automated, and never tended to by humans there might be some which would get into the plants.

Several groups of men are sent in to destroy the nuclear power plants. They are carrying genetically engineered anti-material weapons. I know this is kind of wild. Here is a description. http://www.sunshine-project.org/publications/bk/bk9en.html Amazingly these things really exist. There really is a Microbial Genome Project. Some examples of the base materials are Pseudomonas-- a hydrocarbon eating bacteria-- which will eat oil, plastic, and other stuff, and Desulfvibrio Vulgaris-- an iron and sulfur eating bacteria. Some of the listed type of materials they can be destroyed with engineered anti-material weapons are hydrocarbons, plastics, natural and synthetic rubber, metals, and composite materials. They are let off by stealth anti-sonar submarine on the coastline. They are wearing optical camouflage battledress and carrying a wide variety of these agents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_camouflage . They are riding optically camouflaged hoverbikes-- http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/12/get-your-real-live-jetbike-right-here/ -- with light armaments and extra fuel. I thought this was cool. The PMT hover bikes are not anti-gravity they have about 3 feet of ground clearance and bump up to six feet for short periods. They are a bit smaller and can go very fast.

The equipment is all new and experimental. We have not used it before. So some of it should work partially, some of it should work, and some of it should work too well. There are exactly 25 bikes-- 5- 5 man teams. They are going to go after nuclear installations five at a time. This is a plausible denial team. They won't acknowledge who they are and they'll die before capture.

Note: There is incredible anger in our republic. Part of our culture has strong ecotopian views-- ecological technology and extreme managed environmentalism-- natural capitalism. They would go crazy if they saw the nuclear plants and waste. Combined with the religious problem-- 25% of our population is buddhist there would be a strong sentiment to do some serious damage. The ecorangers are based on the Civ 2 unit. They should be interesting.

((OCC: Look at the Title, it says MT/PMT, meaning both tech ages are acceptable, but It doesn't say FT anywhere, therefore, FT attacks will be most likely Ignored.))

10:00 – Day 3, One Kilometer Away From Red Tide Concentration Camp

After several close brushes with whatever it was that had killed two of their members, they were only one kilometer away from the designated site, a Red Tide Concentration Camp hidden away on the northern shore of the island. It was pure luck that they, and the satellite, were able to find the camp. Observations were to begin within the hour. Afterwards, the daily routine of the guards were to be memorized, and infiltration would begin on Day Ten, at exactly 20:00.

“Chandra, have you found the plants yet?” Sophia whispered as she bent over their Tech Officer, Zakhar.

“No. How’s Zakhar?” he replied, concern in his voice.

“I’m fine, it’s just a small flesh wound,” David responded, grimacing as he spoke.

Everything had gone as planned until Day Two, when they were ambushed by their enemy as they neared the Concentration Camp, and Zakhar had been shot in the leg. After eliminating the threat, progress had been slow, going little more than two kilometers a day. Upon reaching the designated area, one kilometer away from the camp, setup would begin.

Ed stared sleepily forward as the advisors entered the room.

“As you may have heard, we have lost contact with Team Charlie. As of this morning, however, someone using Channel 17, Team Charlie’s channel, contacted us. Upon reaching us, they reported the deaths of three of the members of the team, the Communications Officer, the sniper, and the Technical Officer. As of this moment, Alan Bakar and Sophia Adams are believe to be alive.”

General Decker raised his hand, “That’s all good and well, but what can we do about it. You know we can’t send evac in there, and we can’t send another strike team in there. You’ve already used up some of our best men?”

“I think you’re missing something, General,” Admiral Wolf of Firaxistan’s Submarine Corps pointed out, “we do have a Navy.”

“So, you’re suggesting we send out one of those fancy submarines out there to try and save ‘em? Why not send in the Green Squadron to take out there defenses?” General Malord of the Firaxistan Air Force pointed out.

“Think of something then, and be quick, I’m not interested in putting this down in the history books as a botch-up on our part,” Ed said as he placed his head onto the table, falling asleep.

((OCC: I'll elaborate alot later on.))

OOC: Yeah... right, to bad there is no such thing that can withstand a nuclear bomb. IGNORED!
OOC: accually red tide NORAD was built like that in fact if i look i could proably find a few others

OOC: accually red tide NORAD was built like that in fact if i look i could proably find a few others

OOC: Nothing that isn't specially built to withstand a nuclear blast can withstand one. And to do that... is, expensive to say the least.

OOC: note this is also a PMT so the materials are there and my budget is big enough

OOC: note this is also a PMT so the materials are there and my budget is big enough

OOC: Gere, lemme calculate this. How big (wide, long, and tall) is your fortress? What's it made of?

OOC: concrete re-inforce with tungsted, titainium composite rods and radiation absorbent materials, the complex it self has 15 levels and 10 sub levels to a total of 25 there is a large section of earth between each sub level and only large cargo elevaters go between them each sub level is about 3Km by 2.5 Km and each level ranges from at the top at 1Km by 0.5 Km down to level 15 which is 5.7Km by 4.3Km level 15 is the dock yard so it is the largest any other question and yes my arilery guns are in the rock but not connected to the main complex. the main gates at the harbor and at the hangers on the far side are made of that same composite material and its 2m thick as the enterence to the harbor is covered by a natral water fall the specs of each fortress chages depending on the island

OOC: I have come to the following conclusion:

If the nuke was detonated in the right spot, your hangars and everything in them would be glass. If it was on top, your fortress will have radiation leaks and be severely da,aged, but it will still stand and the core will be unaffected.

OOC: it all does depend of the power of the nuke am sure NORAD could propably fall since nukes have become more powerful then they were i the 1960's say if you did get a nuke though one of the hangers most liekly levels 1-14 would be blows up due to the explosion getting rid of most of the base another nuke would wipe the base out completely but a base of that caliber would have weapons to shoot down nukes and even his tungsted rod if a intercepter missile hit it the force of my missile yould change the course of his causeing it to miss its target

OOC: NORADs headquarters(official name: Cheyenne Mountain) CAN be destroyed by a nuclear warhead. The Russians built a super accurate, single warhead version of the SS-18 that carried a 24 megaton warhead. If detonated at the optimuim altitude(5,000-6,000 feet), it would turn Cheyenne Mountain into Cheyenne lake... hell you wouldnt even need a warhead THAT big. 10 megatons or more will do if your missiles accurate enough and detonated it on contact with the surface.

Besides, Tungsten Rods are BUILT to take out hardened targets EXACTLY like your little bunker. Also, you little theory about intercepting my missile is, at the best, unrealistic. Any ABMMs or SAMs you launch will most definantly miss, as the Tungsten Rod is moving to fast to intercept. Your best bet is to destroy the sattelite containing the rods... and even then you would have to get by my Brilliant Pebbles System.

OOX: Anyways... This post involves you, Firaxistan.

IC: Chandra and Sophia teammates had been killed by members of the Red Tide Mafia, it was they who also shot down their plane with SA-12A Surface-Air Missiles. Then, Mafia members had scouted out the planes path and killed the two teammates, stripping them of their gear to sell.

Now, Sophia and Chandra were on the outskirts of a Concentration Camp hidden just under the SouthWestern Jungles canopy. There was a rail line moving to it. They could see Intellegince-Consortium Agents patrolling the perimeter, wearing their sunglasses, wireless ear phones, and with M-50 Submachine guns in their hands.

Their patrol routine was remarkebly stringent and well followed, one person patrolling appearing every two minutes. The gaurd towers posted at four corners of the camp had 15.5mm heavy machine guns as well as a sniper. The only entrance was gaurded by a pillbox with a ATGM-5 Anti-Tank Missile Launcher pointing out the front.

OOC: yes vary geez i've made no military action against you and you totally attack me well am prepared for that

*ZAFT Joint Military Command Head Quaters Gibralter *

people were scambling the destruction of Jachin Due was troble some the chairman went on international TV

Chairman: attention people of the world just hours ago my nation the commonwealth of spit break was vilontly and brutally attacked by the nation of Red tide *starts showing pictures of the disaster include a scene of the few who made it out alive* these photos are from Jachin after the attack we have done nothing wrong this was a un-provoked attack along with 3 other incedents including a missile attack on the fleet that was also destroyed at Jachin i for one will not stand for this

OOC: you cant take out my command base like you did Jachin Due its way to large 1 single nuke would not blow this thing up or even 3 of your Rods and also who says i have to have your system for shooting down a sat.

Pythogria will not stand for this either. Red Tide, we give you 24 hours to stand down or be pummeled.

OOC: There is no such thing that is too large to nuke(unless your using to small a nuke). Its a moot point, since I am not planning on attacking you further.

When a special order was transmitted to them, they would hurl themselves at mach 10 into a sattelite/missile. This they did, they threw themselves into Pythogrian and Spit Breakian Sattelites. Sattelites are very fragile objects, the kinetic energy caused from the impact would most definitely destroy any sattelite. Survivors would be picked off by MDM-5C ASAT Missiles.

OOC: It's not like they're moon sized. And i never said minimum. The "damaged" ones are in effect inoperable, and the "severely damaged" ones are, basically, one or two decks surviving. As for missile cruisers, they're modified space shuttles, about the size of a house.

Also, I'm PMT.

OOC: Good for you, to bad PMT DOES NOT include these BS 'humongo' sattelites that would cost way more then you can afford.

And how did you get those 'missile cruisers' up there so fast? They would have been targetted by my 'Brilliant Pebbles' also.

OOC: Good for you, to bad PMT DOES NOT include these BS 'humongo' sattelites that would cost way more then you can afford.

And prove that a reasonable sized sattelite is not PMT.

Also, those 'Missile Cruisers' would have also been wiped out(PS: How did you loose ten thousand citizens?). You could do the same to my sattelite system with your 'Brilliant Pebbles', so that would mean we would be fighting with no sattelite support. But the fact that any

15:00 - Apolyton, Firaxistan

“It’s been decided then?” Edward Bakar asked, now refreshed after ten hours of sleep.

General Decker smiled slightly, “We’re still working out the plans, but we’ve decided that, perhaps, another strike team may be warranted. However, we won’t be using a plane this time, and the survival rate should be increased by about ten percent.”

“What’s the plan?”

“We’ll try and ship one of the Admiral’s prototype stealth submarines, and one about five kilometers from the shore, they’ll surface, and a raft filled with a second team of operatives will land on the shore. During the time at sea, we’ll be launching the Green Squadron to attack their shore defenses.”

“Make it so,” Edward Bakar muttered as he spun around to face out the window of the Chairman’s Office. “On the way out, see if you can get a hold of the Chairman for me.”

* * *

17:00 – Five Kilometers From Red Tide’s Northern Shore

The operation had been doomed from the start. The stealth submarine had to deploy the raft early due to fuel constraints, and a good penchant of Firaxistan’s finest had gone down in an attempt to take down Red Tide’s defenses. Now the two surviving members of Team Zulu were lying on a raft, along with a Green Squadron pilot and a Firaxian sailor, adrift in the Northern Sea.

“You think we can make it to the shore?” Tanya Decker asked as she fiddled with her GPS system.

“That’s a possibility, if we don’t die from the sun first,” Seaman First Class, Sergei Ivanovich, replied as he pushed the paddles back and forth.

20:00 – Northern Concentration Camp, Red Tide

“Zakhar, stay here, and cover us, we don’t want to get knocked off to early,” Alan whispered to his Technical Officer.

“Affirmative, Captain.”

Sophia muttered a short prayer underneath her breath and looked up, “Let’s get this show on the road.”

A few minutes later, the Alan and Sophia were sticking close to the ground, and crawling towards the compound. Alan turned around to look where David was positioned and was relieved to find him still there, his old De Lisle carbine pointed at the spotlight. Seconds later, the light bulb was broken and the old Indian was working another shot in. Sophia and Chandra jumped up to take advantage of the window they were provided when a shot rang out. Chandra was kneeling on the ground as he placed a hand where the bullet struck him in the shoulder.

“Go on, you still have a chance,” he muttered as he lay down, trying to crawl back to the camp.

Dave, now angered that he let his commander fall, fired his De Lisle and cut the sniper down in his prime. Perhaps he had missed, perhaps not, but that sniper wasn’t going to be bothering them tonight.

Sophia sat and removed her GLOCK 21 from her holster, sighting the guard with her gun. In a few seconds she had downed the guard, and was running forward, a C-4 charge in her hand. As she hit the wall, she armed the explosive and ran along the wall. As she ran, she plunged headlong into a group of guards, was quickly incapacitated, and brought into the Concentration Camp.

“Perhaps our infiltration went better then expected,” Alan muttered as he leaned against Zakhar, “Now let’s just hope we can all get out of this hell-hole.” As he spoke, the C-4 charge went off with a click, and nothing happened. There was no explosion. The only sound was the alarm going off and Red Tidean soldiers pouring out of the entrance, readying to canvass the area.

“Looks like we’re not wanted here, Captain. We’ll have to leave the gear here,” Zakhar muttered as he helped the Captain to his feet. Maybe they would get out of here after all.

OOC: If you want to interrogate Sophia, go ahead. If you want to kill her, go ahead. Just remember that she’s trained to say that she’s not from Firaxistan, but I’d be interested what methods you might use to “extract” the information.

National News Broadcast, the world over.

Today Red Tide2 claimed we were acting as pirates against their shipping. We have found their ships contain nothing but illegal arms shipments to foreign countries designed to spread chaos and destabilization the world over. Show a picture of a Red Tide ship with crates of russian style armaments. These were found under packs of potatos. We have interdicted millions dollars of illegal arms shipments to mafia the world over. It is our right under international law to stop these shipments. They should never have been allowed to leave the country. It appears that Red Tide 2s sole source of income is armaments and a large portion of it is illegal arms. We are notifying the international community of this. We will gladly allow the international community to inspect these ships.

In the interests of world peace it was necessary to stop these shipments. They had one purpose to spread misery and death. There was no food, clothing, or useful items in any of Red Tide 2 shipments. No relief to poorer nations, nor useful manufacturing equipment. Some of the ships were designated as relief ships but really carried armaments for petty warlords. The government of Red Tide 2 has openly stated they support their mafia in producing illegal armaments for unstable foreign countries. To call stopping this kind traffic immoral is reprehensible.

Furthermore Red Tide 2 has openly stated that they are against religion or ethics of any kind. Their killing of buddhists 97 million of them is abhorrent and genocidal. None of their army below lieutenant level is allowed to hold religious beliefs.

An incredible picture of a barren radioactive landscape. Red Tide 2 is one of the worst industrial polluters the world over. We were forced to clean up this mess before it spread to our waters. It was a direct threat to the environment the world over. Radiation where no human being even in a haz mat suit can enter is extreme. We are asking that they be fined under international law for breaking environmental treaties. Our use of industrial clean up material was absolutely necessary.

It may be necessary to make even more extreme sanctions. We are sending tapes of this message to the capitals of many governments the world over. We send out this message to 2000 heads of state.

Then we start a whispering campaign. Images start appearing of officials in Red Tide Government doing unimaginably horrid things, robbing, killing, stealing, and other crimes. Politicians and party members are shown in compromising positions with recognized members of their cabinets both male and female. This appears on several web sites. Also it is sent out as a kind of spoof email to millions of users.

A popular action movie comes out with Red Tide as evil communist invaders of foreign countries. Top movie stars appear in the film. The hero is a young third world man who successfully creates and leads a resistance movement overthrowing the government of Red Tide. It is subsidized quietly to appear in movie theaters all over the world.

OOC: Pythogria, what are you talking about?

Mir: http://www.missilethreat.com/systems/bp_usa.html, I improved on that.

IC: The Firaxistan rescue team approached the shore... a line of Normandy esque bunkers appeared. A seemingly endless line stretching from west-east. Each bunker contained a 15.5 mm heavy machine gun.

the beaches were approximately a kilometer wide. The 500 meters closest to the water consisted of tank obstacles and razor wire. The other 500 meters were a network of trenches, machine gun nests, and autocannon nests. All were manned.

The Concentration Camp

A MD-530 Helicopter lifted off from the camp to search for the intruders, it quickly spotted Zkhar and his captain, a megaphone yelled out to them, "SURRENEDER IMMEDIATLY!"

Looking closely, one could see that the helicopter contained 15.5mm machine guns on its wings.

Inside the Camp

Sophia awoke in a pitch black room, when she tried to move, she found that she was tied to something... concrete? Then the lights came on, and sitting across from her was a G-Man... Red Tides elite Intellegince Agents. A so-nuetral-its-scary expression was etched onto his face.

"Lets begin," the G-Man said, matter-of-factly, "We can do this the easy way, or the fun way. Where are you from and who are you?"

----- Aboard the Mirhuellian Eagle-Eye Class Spy-Sat -----

"What the hell? Sir, you better take a look at this, something is going right by us at an incredible speed." RADAR Officer Gerat said, with a very worried look on his face.

"Yeah, let's see it.... Holy....Crap...., can we get any of those things? So we can study it?" CO Ricaro asked with a childish smirk on his face, like he was colecting baseball cards, and had just seen a brand new card.

"No, Sir, he-he, they are just traveling too fast." Gerat explained giggling. "Should we try to catch one..." he continued to explain now more seriously. "... It would go right through whatever we put in front of it, like a rock going through wet paper." he concluded with a gloomy look on his face.

"By the look on your face, you are fearing that exact same thing, you are worried that one of those things hits us." Ricaro frontly pointed out, with a more serious look on his face.

"No, Sir, I'm confident on our defence system, Sir." Gerat said, but with a hesitant look on his face.

"There's no need to lie, I may seem childish, but I know when a situation is dire, and so far what to do, so that I can survive." Picaro calmly said, like he had the situation under control.

That was the last thing he said, for a mere 2 seconds later one of those "things" hit the command bridge, starting a chain reaction that consumed the entire satelite in a matter of seconds, launching debris that would mostly melt in the atmosphere, and those that wouldn't melt would fall on the Pacific Ocean.

Mirhuell's Defence HQ lost track with the satelite, at first they thought it was a glitch, but when reports of "falling chunks of flaming metal" started coming in, they knew their satelite was gunned down.



Loss: 1 Spy-Sat.



((OCC: To who it may concern that was the result of a few strayed "Brilliant Pebbles" and the Satelite was overlooking the Northen Side of Mirhuell.))

Your brilliant pebbles smash into my satellites. We also have a small space station in addition to a slow asteroid mining ship. They see this happen. Twelve satellites both civilian and military explode and four tungsten missile platforms are smashed to pieces. We lose most of our communications system. We still have a few airship civilian platforms, but not much. The small civilian space station catches this on film. They send the film down.

We respond with high altitude automated air defense airships.

This is what I bought from one of the vendors.
60 AAD-1 Airborne Air Defense Platform
Introducing an all new airborne platform which lofts 6 AIM-57 Super Phoenix Missiles (replaced) , 12 AIM-9X Sidewinders, a huge ass radar and a FLIR system into the atmosphere, functional from 1,000 to 60,000 feet
The AAD system can be dropped out the back of a C-5 and it auto inflates.
If the ballon is puunctured by the enemy a parachute deploys and it floats safely to the ground so u can use it again.
The skin of the ballon is reflective/semi-clear so u cant see it too good from a distance :P plus you can link the radars together to form a massive AWACs style radar net. Best used in conjuction with ground based defenses.
Engines
Dual 40hp electric props for station keeping, r can be tethered
Altitude controled by gas valves/tanks
Electronics/CounterMeasures
M-56 Airborne Radar Array
120 RR-129A/AL Chaff Countermeasures
40 JU-51/B Advanced Infrared Flare
1 AN/ALQ-178 ECM pod

I replaced 6 of the Superphoenix missiles with satellite killers. It fires at 50,000 feet. We hold 120 missiles in reserve. 240 missiles go extraatmospheric.

These are linked to 30 clear plastic radar neutral see through surveillance airships with sensor packages. They are unarmed and are much cheaper to produce than satellites. About $3 million dollars each with an incredible set of sensors versus $32 million dollars for a satellite.

20:30 – North of Concentration Camp

“We’ve got two choices here, Captain, we can surrender, or we can go out in a blaze of glory,” David Zakhar whispered quietly, his De Lisle pointed up at the pilot flying the helicopter.

“You think that ‘chopper is close enough,” Alan Bakar asked David as he removed the M203 Grenade Launcher off his back.

“I think so.”

“I’ll take the blazing glory option.”

“We can do this the easy way, or the fun way. Where are you from and who are you?”

“I… I couldn’t tell you that,” she started to say, slipping into a pseudo-Russian accent.

The G-Man nodded politely and slapped her, “Try again. We’ll start off really simple, then. Who are you?”

“I… I am Zophia, Zophia Makovich.”

“Try again,” he said as she received another slap. He nodded towards the security camera behind Sophia, and someone at the security database began an extensive search on her name.

21:00 – Northern Shore, Red Tide

As the raft hit the beach, what seemed like hundreds of guns and cannons were pointed at the rescue team.

Tanya Decker looked up and turned around, “There’s not going to be any rescue mission now. We’re going to have to surrender. As much as I’d like to place a few bullets in some of these soldiers’ heads, we have no chance.” Tanya turned around to face the soldiers, and shouted, “We surrender.”

OOC: i believe i said carrier GROUPS not lone carriers

Officer: in deed

Waltfeld:is the new RIWS ready?

Officer: yes sir

Orbit:
The brilliant pebbles attacked the rising ASAT missiles, this was actually one of their original purposes.

The beach...
There was a moment of pause as the soldiers tried to figure out what the men were saying, it was a lieutenant who understood and began to bark orders in Russian, four soldiers moved up to the 'rescuers' and disarmed them. They were moved to the back of the line, where a Intellegince-Consortium armored truck was waiting.

The Concentration Camp:
The chopper pilot was shining a spotlight down on the two men, it saw one of the men holster up a gun with an familiar tube slung under it. The helicopter rose up, to get out of range of the grenade launcher, simultaneously laying down a hail of 15.5mm rounds.

Inside the Concentration Camp
The G-Man paused, then stepped out of the room for a moment, a few voices in Russian, then he stepped back in.

"All of the Zophia Makovich have either already been arrested, are dead, or are currently at work or home." He gave a slim smile, walking back to the door, "I guess its the fun way."

He knocked on the wall a few times, then a Cosortium Agent with a pill appear, handed the pill over to the G-Man. He returned to the table and said, quite matter-of-factly, "You have two options, take the pill, or..." He drew a M-1 Pistol, "I can blow your kneecap off."

((OCC: now I know where your fleet is, what kind of ships they are, etc.))

Your brilliant pebbles do not go unnoticed at the station, our asteroid tracking system easily picks them up, they are fast moving (motion detection), metallic (magnetic detection), and about the same size as pieces old space junk-- something which even the current space station has to protect against. We need to protect ourselves from even small meteor hits. We easily have a record of the attacks by your system. This is beamed to the world. We denounce Red Tide 2 for perpetuating war in space. They are beyond criminal.

Here goes. We are launching 100 ballistic armored emp missiles at your satellites. It has multiple layers of spray on polymer armor. Over this is a layer of ballistic armor a mix of bioceramics 2x as strong as the hardest steel, and infused with carbon nanotubes-- which are expensive this will not give us the 50x strength of pure carbon nanotubes, but will 10x as hard as the strongest steel. The watermelon size objects should hit the missiles and break up on the first strike, giving it time for the warhead to explode releasing a 200 lb electromagnetic pulse warhead. Our space habitat is moving into higher orbit and our air defense platforms are lowering a bit.

In a secondary report: In the news-- 300 Commonalitarianism citizens of buddhist origins are said to have died or been missing from the genocide. They were visiting relatives in Red Tide2 on a visa. We are not certain what has happened. We think they are dead. Also a number of visiting business men have simply disappeared. These were of Cruonian origin, we are not sure why they were doing in your country. But apparently, they are gone.

OOC: There would probably be a few company men from the Ming Commercial House, RFS-- Registered Financial Syndicate which does military procurement. Do what you want with them.

IC: Reply to your destroying warheads: A 200 KG explosive is about 1/7 the weight of a standard ICBM warhead which weighs 1500 Kilograms. The armor is 1/2 the weight of regular armor. Carbon nanotubes are very light. We can wrap enough armor around a missile with this weight to be more than an inch thick without lowering performance. I have read the literature. I know the armor limitations. This more than meets them. The literature you are referring to is from 1990-- about 15 years out of date.

We used a combination of external fuel tanks from a two stage rocket and inflatable modules http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0409/27bigelow/ which are very cheap to produce about $100 million per module. This is 1/50 the cost of the International Space Station per module. It allows us to build and arm a decent size space platform. We have been attacked previously and would have it defended. It is also very current technology.

A CCD charge couple device video detector can pick up objects that are 10 centimeters and larger in space from quite a distance. It is used by Ariane Space (a French company) to protect its satellites.

I guess we have an interesting stalemate, with differing uses of technology. My technical base I think is slightly more advanced than Red Tide 2, this makes for an interesting stalemate where you are larger than me, but my tech is a bit better, so there will be an even match going back and forth.

21:30 – Concentration Camp, Red Tide

“I don’t think you realize how much I’d enjoy you blasting my kneecap off, do you?” Sophia Adams said, smirking at the G-Man.

He smiled slightly, and fired, missing her body by mere inches, “Now, are you going to take the pill, or not?”

Sophia hesitated slightly, she would have to betray her country or die. If she betrayed her country, how could they muster a large enough defense force? What about herself, though? Her family, how would they receive the message of her death?

The G-Man smiled slightly and cocked the gun, “Your decision, please.”

“Give me the pill.”

“Wonderful, I assume you heard, General?” Ed Bakar said as he spun around in his chair.

“Yes, the rescue team failed. A transmission from a Green Squadron pilot revealed that nearly half of Green Squadron was shot down, and the experimental submarine was sunk be depth charges on the way out,” General Decker answered as he entered the room.

“Ah, good, it looks like we’ll be having to issue a national statement now. General, see if you can muster up the Firaxistan Militia, and tell Admiral Wolf to get the Submarine Corps patrolling our coast. I’m not particularly interested in having them take the fight to us.”

“I’ll do that,” he said as he turned around and left the room.

Edward sighed and picked a phone up off his desk, “Hello?” There was a brief pause before he continued, “Yes, of course it’s me. We’re about to have a national emergency, so send the Chancellor and his advisors to Meier’s Point, immediately.” He paused again as the person on the other side replied, “What about me? I’m sticking it out to the end. Good day.” He sighed slightly and began to pick up another phone. So many people to call and so little time.

She nearly laughed as he heard the G-Man respond. She had thought it would be done and over with, that she wouldn’t realize that she would be telling the truth. Now it has to come down to a switchblade.

She shook her head, “Guess my name.”

The G-Man smiled and pressed the switchblade to her cheek, cutting am inch long wound into it, “What a pretty scar you’ll have. Would you like to tell us what your name is now?”

Sophia whimpered slightly and looked away, “I… My name is Sophia Adams.”

Admiral Wolf muttered underneath his breath as he stood next to the Chancellor in the Meier’s Point Fallout Shelter.

“Glad to have you back, Chancellor,” he finally said as he tapped on a radar screen, “I hope it all seems satisfactory to you. We’ve got several units patrolling our coast, with a vanguard fleet right in front of us, sir.”

“It’s all good and well, Admiral, let’s just hope we won’t have to use them.”

The G-Men nodded, now putting the switchblade down, "Thank you for your cooperation. Since you decided to talk, you will be not be executed. I am afraid your friends were not so lucky, they chose to resist capture."

He then looked at the cheek he had cut, "That is definantly going scar. You will be tried and sentenced to a Goverment Maximum Security Prison."

It sounded like a relief but it wasnt, the maximum security prisons had prisoners handle lethal chemical weapons without protective gear, a fact unknown to anybody on the outside.

Ooc: Bump!

The Ming Commercial House RFS uses the seized records of the arms shipment to check for new countries to supply arms to-- basically we are going to attempt a takeover of the Red Tide2 mafia trade while there is still a blockade. We are looking for countries that are democratic, socialist, or have some decent human rights. We are going to avoid the other ones.

We are also going to attempt to underbid for any tanks or armor that Red Tide2 is producing on the international market while they are tied up in the fighting. Our main industry is automotive which translates to being able to make decent tanks and other motorized vehicles at a good price.

The last thing is the OhYayians who are business hippies start a Free Red Tide style commercial campaign with buttons, shirts, jewelry and all sorts of anti-red tide goods which will be sold all over the world.

OOC: As of the moment, nearly nothing. I'll see how much the average ship costs and I'll get back to you on that.

IC:Unfortuanantly, most of Red Tides arms shipments went to dictators and countries in civil war. This ment that trying to take sales away from Red Tide by going strictly for democratic countries would be wasteful.

OOC: Firaxistan, do you want to use custom or Real Life ships? In case the latter, I have the approximate annual operating cost of a Arleigh-Burke Class Guided Missile Destroyer(DDG), is 20,000,000 dollars per year. The operating cost for the Olivard Hazard Perry Class Guided Missile Frigate(FFG) is 16,000,000 dollars per year. For you I would suggest a healthy mix of missile frigates and destroyers and maybe an aircraft carrier or two.

We waste several million dollars in research finding out the arms shipments went to countries in civil war or dictatorships. However, we gain an understanding of where to send our own arms to support democratic insurgencies. We end up spending over $500 million dollars in sending money and arms for counterinsurency work. We spend a lot of money in the government waste category of the Nation State tracker. This should destroy some of your markets.

All that does is increase the violence and devestation of the civil wars... which, in the eyes of an arms dealer, makes the area more profitable. Therefore, buisness continues to boom, in addition, the Tech-Com Corporation releases this statement

One of the pirate warlords who I mentioned before who was doing the inside jobs on your transport ships decides to do something truly out of hand. He has consolidated his hold over Somaliland. He has captured over 60 fishing boats, from a wide variety of places, he buys them cheap if he can get them from other pirates, some may be yours that is up to you, he raids his neighbors as well. He takes them and turns them into warships adding 155 mm guns which he hides under tarps, machine guns, and other stuff. He armors the insides. They still look like fishing boats on the outside. But he can come up close and reveal them to be warships. He attempts in a single massive raid to steal as many of your fishing boats as possible while they are out on the seas. In a megalomaniac manner he wants to have his own navy. He also uses some of the funds to buy helicopters in this attempt, so he has a number of ships with a single three person helicopters with .50 caliber machine guns, rockets, stinger missiles and other paraphernalia and nothing else. At first he picks off a few boats then makes a massive attempt. The Commonalitarianism does not authorize this. It is his craziness. The proper term for this activity is commerce raiding. If he is not stopped, he will eventually build merchant raider ships-- frigate size cargo ships similar to the ones used in World War II by Germany, and Italy.

Note: A light cruiser naval ship which mounts 155mm guns is the same size as a 90' deep sea fishing trawler. However, to make it more realistic I could make it a 105mm cannon. Somalilanders put 105mm cannons on their jeeps.
http://membres.lycos.fr/France40/photos/toyota.jpg With the fishing vessel, it would have one gun or one helicopter, and two . 50 caliber machine guns. This would be enough to scare a cargo vessel. Here is a bit about merchant raiders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_raider

By the way here is your satellite jamming system which makes it impossible to send signals. http://www.w3ar.com/a.php?k=1588

Clarke's First Law:
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

OOC:QUIT STATING MY CASUALTIES! Also, I highly doubt that this warlord can make it all the way to my nations waters without sinking.

PS: Medium Sized Fishing Boats capable of carrying and firing 155mm howitzers WITH room to spare? Doubt it.

PSS: My fishing boats no longer leave my waters.

OOC: Don't do the battle yet, but I think these figures should work out a bit right... Correct me if they're not plausible.

50 Submarines

75 Arleigh-Burker Class

75 Oliver Hazard

1 Nimitz Class Aircraft Carriers

As I said, my Math might be a bit whacked... I still think it should be about right. At least, what is at the coast of Firaxistan. I'll go write up a description of the country in a bit.

OOC: Okay, drop the Nimitz class a little(I KNOW they cost like 20 billion to make) and you dont have to post your entire country, just the coast. Can you also now post your nations reaction?

10:00 Meier’s Point Bunker, Firaxistan

“Looks like this is it, Chancellor, they’re coming in for the kill,” Admiral Wolf muttered as he began to reach for a telephone. “Chancellor, if you have any questions land wise, the General is in the next room, I’ve got a fleet to tend to.”

The Chancellor nodded and began to limp towards the next room, worried for his nation. “General!” he shouted as he entered the room, “I trust that the Militia is taken care of.”

“Yes, sir. All men and women, who signed up, are at our shores, patrolling. Above us, we have two regiments patrolling, a good percentage of them are arming anti-aircraft above us, while a good quarter are at work in pillboxes.”

“What of the coast?”

“All non-military personnel have been evacuated to Apolyton and it’s suburbs, sir. We also have two brigades defending them, sir.”

“Good, how many men are available?”

“One brigade, sir.”

“Send them to Apolyton, we’re not.”

Official Message to Red Tide

In times of need, some must take a stand for their brethren. With confidence, we are prepared to take this stand. If we are to fight, it is out of own will.

Sincerely,
Chancellor Bernhard Blevins

10:00 – Firaxistan’s Coast

Firaxistan’s coast was mostly jagged cliffs, from ten kilometer south of the border, to Meier’s Point, where the cliffs swiftly west turn and continue for another two kilometers. Most of Firaxistan’s ports cities are located on this one hundred kilometer long stretch of coastline. Such major ports include the city of Thunderfall, a densely populated port of ten million, and the city of Mingapulco, a port city that traces it’s history back to the first Firaxians.

As of the moment, the one Nimitz class Aircraft Carrier is stationed at Meier’s Point with it’s current payload of thirty Russian MiG-29 fighters. Stationed with the carrier is five Virginia Class Submarines, ten Oliver Hazard Perry class Missile Frigates and ten Arleigh-Burke Class Guided Missile Destroyers. Five of each are also stationed at Thunderfall and Mingapulco, while the other thirty-five Frigates and Destroyers, along with thirty Virginia Class Submarines, are patrolling the western coast.

OOC: Is there anything else you would like to know?

OOC: No... not really.

IC: A recently launched RADAR Oceanic Reconnassiance Sattelite Model-2(RORSAT-2) moved over the Firaxistan coast. Although it missed the submarines(it wasnt designed to detect them anyways), it picked up all of the surface ships easily.

The first blow would be to that carrier group, a carrier is a vital asset and not one easily replaced. The scan noted that they didnt have any SuperDreadnoughts, which was a good thing. The info was transmitted to the battlefleet.

The fleet was 500 kilometers out and probably inrange of Firaxistans RADAR capabilities. At 200 kilometers, the Red Tidean fleet would fire their anti-ship cruise missiles.

OOC:sorry my comp is messed up can you catch me up?

OOC: Sorry, I;ve been busy lately, but I might be able to post what the cruise missiles do to my fleet. By the way, what's the operating altitude of these missiles?

OOC: My Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles are sea skimmers, that is they fly only a couple of feet off the ground. My naval based Surface-Air Missiles are the same as my land based ones(with two exceptions), they have a lock-on and chase ceiling of 95,000 feet. Normally, they have a bottom of 100 feet on land, because of ground clutter. But since they are in open ocean and there is no ground clutter in the open ocean, they have a bottom of 0 feet. The MDSM-4(Missile Defender Sea Model 4) also has a reduced range of 350 kilometers instead of the land based versions(which is simply known as MDM-4) 400 kilometers. This is because the missile is somwhat smaller, so it can fit into VLS tubes.

PS: I have NOT fired at your fleet yet. I just posted moving into detection range.

((OCC: Can anyone give me a quick summary of what's happned, I was grounded, and I still am, just not as severely, I'm allowed 2 hours, so... a quick summary would be appreciated.))

OOC: Thanks.

Here's a quick summary.

It's now been revealed that I funded the mission into Red Tide, so Red Tide has come to bombard my ports. All citizens have been evacuated inland and so forth.

Also, there has been a recent attack on Red Tide's shipping I believe, but that may still be hanging in the air, due to a howitzer placed on the boat. I think. That's about all that happened though.

OOC: interesting i got my computer working just in time

the supreme council looked over intel of the current situation

Gil: hmm this isn't looking good
