ViZion's annual Nuclear Show, held on the corner of Antarctica nearest Australia, is to be held in one day. It has been moved up nearly two months, and while the Government says it is not related to the current nuclear situation involving ViZion, many experts say ViZion is using this as an advantage to show its nuclear strength to those who dare oppose it in the Jomagan Standoff.

ViZion is expected to pound Antarctica with three different nuclear ESDMs (Exospherical Dread Missiles) during the 24-hour event. These are only three of ViZion's over 50,000 ESDM's, and, in support of that, ViZion, at last claimed stockpile announcement 18 months ago, has over 150,000 ICBMs and an unknown amount of other nuclear weapons.

ViZion is also expected to announce a new weapon of mass destruction at the end of the 24-hour Nuclear Show.

Let the countdown begin for 24 hours... NOW!

Leocardia's Juki SD will be there on the scene to watch the terrific view. News cameras will be placed all over the decks of Juki to let the rest of the Leocardians watch.

We regret to inform you that the area you are seeking to bombard is occupied. If we detect even one missile launch we will unleash all of our NBC forces on your nation immediately. We have ABM systems but it is by no means 100% effective. We have also requistioned use of our regional allies' orbital defenses for the time being.

OOC: Hmm, interesting. Keep in mind, I'm RPing on the original earth, meaning there's unlimited amounts of "antarctica". Just as there's a large number of other nations occupying the same area I do in Italy, etc.

At the ticker struck 00:00:00 on the countdown, the first of three ESDM, the smallest of the three, was launched from a base in Tanzania.

As it entered space, it switched from rocket thrust to its AGT, or Anti-Gravity Thrust, essentially acting like two positive magnets, pushing away from earth using an anti-gravity system.

Once it reached 150 miles outside Earths atmosphere, it began making an arch, it turned to its thrusters - four of them.

It would be another hour before it would be directly above its target location.

...
ONE HOUR LATER
...

As it neared its location 150 miles above the atmosphere, it began to circle quicker and quicker and quicker, then turning on its GMS, or Gravity Multiplication System, intensifying the gravity force to the missile by 90 times. Using this, turning off its thrusters, and aiming directly at its location, it hit the atmosphere in essentially the blink of an eye headed in a direct line down to its target.

But before hitting the atmosphere, the missile was spinning clockwise at nearly 1,000 cycles per second, then launching its Pod Missiles. Pod Missiles number 18 in this small ESDM, each loaded being nuclear, each being 65 kilotons strong.

As the ESDM spun clockwise, so did the Pod Missiles, each spreading apart from each other to the point that, 1/4 into the atmosphere, this cyclone of Pod Missiles surrounding the Spear, a large spear-like nuclear missile good for 140 kilotons, had a girth of 2/3 of a mile across.

From that point on, as the gravity continued to get stronger, they continued to go farther and farther, spinning quicker and quicker, and contracting once again. Engineered to be a specific size compared to the Pod Missiles, the central Spear continued to go even quicker, pulling away from the Pod Missiles.

As the Spear reached the surface, it did not explode. Rather, it penetrated the earth’s surface, submerging its self roughly 200 feet below the surface.

Once the Pod Missiles were 75 feet above the surface, each exploded, with the girth of the cyclone being only 40 feet. However, if wanted, it could explode over a wider area. Also, the Spear could detonate above ground if wanted as well.

Just four seconds after the Pod Missiles detonated, the Spear detonated from 200 feet below the surface, unleashing 140 kilotons upward.

The result was devastating. The "city" that was created for this first ESDM - essentially gone.

OOC: remember to use the 'OOC' denotation... and lame that there's endless land on the original earth?

Don't do it, you'll waste all the precious resources on Antarctica. They have volcanoes that spew gold! Antarctica probably hase vast amounts of oil, too!

A message was quickly sent off to Kubra;
"Given that we have land in Antarctica and have yet to see any gold coming from their volcanos, we highly doubt that is more than an urban legand. However, even if it was true, it is to late. We've already begun.

Thank you for your concern."

Thank you for your concern." OOC: No seriously, there is a volcano that does.

IC: Well before you nuke it why don't you use it? Antarctica used to be a warm nation before the plates split and it went south. So there's dead material there. When dead material is put under immense pressure it becomes oil. There's probably tons of oil there. Plus we haven't properly taken the rare ores from the land.

Dear Sirs and Ma'ams of Kubra,
We once again thank you for your interest and suggestions. However, we will be testing two more nuclear ESDMs in the next 19 hours. We will, however, see what we find once we send in our RART crew to clean up the mess left behind, including most of the radioactive material.

"Damn..... That was AWESOME!" Yelled one of the Ensigns watching the ViZion hugely oversized fireworks display. Most of the men watching the oversized display that was supposed to show space, were clapping. "We want an encore! Encore, I say, encore!"

Most of the staff had turned out to watch the even. Even as a war was going on. Ah the joys of government funding. Some of then men jumped up to go grab sandwiches, popcorn, soup and some hot coffee, the bunker was rather cold. All on government time....

End Point, 'Watching Space is Extremely Boring'

The second ESDM was launched from a launching platform in space specifically made for the ESDMs. Hovering just 200 miles outside of Earths atmosphere, it was located just south of Miami.

There was little difference from the first ESDM except two things. The first being that there are 24 Pod Missiles. The second being that the Spear is up by 40 kilotons to 180 kilotons total.

As it streaked across, just outside the atmosphere, it was to hit just 100 miles north east of the first strike.

It, too, went through the same process as the first one, circling, then spiraling, followed by the Pods breaking off and circling. However, as the Spear entered the ground, the Pod cyclone was exactly 1/2 mile in width, devastating a wider area. Once again, the ground rose heaved and the dropped violently, the snow and ice turning into liquid water and water vapor instantly.

In the end, anything snow and ice within a few miles of the impact zone had been turned to liquid and vapors, exposing the bare ground that had not need the day of light in thousands of years.

Well as long as the resources are intact we won't do any stupid condemning. You might even make new super-resources!

No.

No.

No.

No.

Oui!

OOC: Err, if a nuclear weapon is 2/3's of a mile in size, it should have a much larger yield then 140 kilotones.

OOC: not really, it could just be dead space, for some strange reason

If you have a few older model nukes we wish to test something. It is called a nuclear damper. It runs on picotechnic technology-- nanites basically, it interrupts the fission or fusion process, by preventing the chain reaction in the bomb. It is usually dispersed over a wide area in a burst effect.

There is also a shield or beam weapon that affects the strong and weak forces in the nuclear reaction messing up the explosive yield.

We are not particularly fond of nuclear weaponry.

Ummm, aren't me, Prae, Hoggy, and MassPwnage currently occupying you?

S'Alright.

He was talking about ViZion.

Indeed, mainland ViZion has been occupied by foreign powers since December of 2005. There's currently a standoff and a cease-fire, if I've been informed right.

Oui! OOC: After reading all those stupid no's this split my sides open!

OOC: Yaaaa... regarding that, might be continue where I left off? After all, you cannot continue a war/RP w/o the nation who has the whole thing centered around, can you?

Speaking of which, even so, I still have African claims. Just seems like no one aside from me cares about 'em.

"Excuse me, what just happened?" Lord Tamworth swayed a little on the spot. Most of his staff were looking open-mouthed at the displays. It was beyond laughter. Beyond ridicule. "'Anti-gravity thrust'? What the bloody hell have they been drinking?"

Even the window-cleaner, with his B in Physics at highschool, had stopped working for a few minutes to gave upon the insanity. "And what is a "gravity multiplication engine", perchance? How are they able to violate conservation of energy seemingly at will by multiplying the gravitational potential energy of an object? And why, prey tell, did they do that silly spinning thing with multiple warheads only for them to converge only a few feet apart a few feet off the ground? Haven't they even heard of an airburst?"

"And why did they do this over their own territory? Honestly, what was the point? It's just... it's just..."

"Bullshit, My Lord," finished one of the engineers.

Lord Tamworth calmed down a little. "Yes, yes you're right. We all know that none of that stuff is possible. I'm going to have a lie down. Maybe it'll go away."

[OOC: To be fair though, this is true:

Ummm, aren't me, Prae, Hoggy, and MassPwnage currently occupying you?]

A better description would be a graviphotonic field drive which acts on electromagnetic distortion to change the constants of gravity allowing faster than light travel. Burkhard Heim has designed something like this. The US air force is actually considering testing this within the next ten years... Sounds pretty nutty, but there is a chance that it might work with real physics...

[OOC: Based on spurious and undemonstrated theoretical physics which is not accepted by the majority of scientists. We'll see what happens when it's tested, but until then I don't think we should go around trying to rewrite physical laws.]

Almost everything in future tech is spurious-- warp drives, tesseract drives, worm holes, jump gates, phasers, that is why it is fun to play with. If there is even a mild link to science you are doing better than most. It is often the Tesla's and Einstein's that create new science breakthroughs and they are very rarely accepted in the beginning. There are pieces of Burkhard Heim's work that do work.

[OOC: Except that this is claimed to be MT, not FT.]

ooc:
Looks to me like he didn't claim any tech timeline...so why don't people just let the crazy bastard blow up some more of his homeworld? errr question! Why are you trying to blow up Antartica again? Is this your version of the Tsar Bombs of Russia? Those babies were inefficient, but pretty in a Terrifying way.
