A search for slaves.

Asperitas
13-06-2006, 17:44
As daylight burned into night several hundred LCM-8's landed on the beaches landing several thousand soldiers all armed with G-12A4's. Asperitas own refined caseless assault rifle. Along with them were cuffs, megaphones, and ariel renfocements. As upon this undiclosed island they were rounding up upwards to 2 million slaves. As thats what the figures said from rough estimate of a satellite image.

Several C5 galaxies flew above, paradropping 345 soldiers into the most populated areas of the heartland of the island.

Meanwhile a single Athena class Battleship lay idle only about 200 yards off the eastern shore of the island. Ready to bombard it back to the stonage if anything had gone wrong.

Of course nothing would as the PR department for Asperitas had planned it out very well on what was to happen. As the islanders were Polytheistic and the soldiers had a plan to take advantage of the blind faith. With a few words. "We are from your gods, we have fallen from the sky to tell you to follow us to the promiseland." Soldiers, walked through the streets with large grins upon thier faces even though they had full knowledge of what they were doing was wrong. The inhabitants of the island taking them as gods and they were taking advantage of it with a smile. About 93% of the estimated population of the island acknowledged them as they were led back to the tens of thousands of LCM-8's taking them back to larger LPD-4 Austin's at sea to be taken back to Asperitas for Mining operations and the assisted building of warships and other Military installments.

Official Message from The Allied States of the Royal Code

The senior commanders of the Royal Military got word of this act of invasion of innocent peoples, and agreed: condemed. The Allied States of the Royal Code demand that you free your captives at once. Slave labor is not the way.

Franberry deplores your recent action. Slavery is horrible, and there are now trade sanctions in place against Asperitas. We suggest you set all these people free.

OOC: RP the discovery of this and the diplomatic stuff first, he has only mentioend slave labor OOC and secretly IC.

IC:

To say the Nod Republic of Saharistan was paranoid would be an understatement. They make Richard Nixon look like an amateur, and while they were brutal, and willing to experiment on soldiers and captured civilians, those people did agree beforehand. Nod always condemned such things as slavery because it left people without a choice, sure Nod wanted the choice to be "Join us or Die" but it was a choice. That and their stance made them look bad and they needed a righteous cause to affix themselves to.

A Nod submarine had been trailing a battleship for some time, it was alone, ripe for the picking, no one would know what happened. But a lone battleship was interesting and worth checking out. When the scale of the operation was uncovered it was shocking. Nod needed this kind of PR exposure.

Secret Message to Asperitas

You haven't been doing naughty things with poor, naive natives now have you? We would recommend you stop, as a picture says a 1000 words, and launches a 1000 ships.

Included were the sub's photographs of the operation and a satellite thermal view.

Official Message from Ciaran Lynch, Commisar of Foreign Relations

ARLNI condemns your recent aquisition of these slaves. Slavery is unnacceptable, and there are now 3,000,000 Irish soldiers being mobilised, in addition to several thousand fighters and bombers. We suggest you set all of your slaves free, and pay immediate reparations, before we bomb you to the stone age.

OOC: I didnt see any secret IC stuff or anything like that. Allow me to do the discovery.

IC:

As battle groups Victor and Alpha were sailing home from their victorious campaign in Bellum Perferdo, something wasent right, the navigator noticed. The instruments were a little shaky. He did some coordinate triangulation, and determined, magnetic fields, subsurface ships.

Immediately the report went in, and the fleet went to general quarters. Carrier planes began to scout the perimeter.

"Echo Four, is that what i think it is? Over." one of the pilots said as he was flying over a large island chain.

"Hell yes it is! Fleet, this is flight 201, we have something big down here!"

"Flight 201, this is command, describe the situation. Over."

"Command I see large numbers of civilians being, what looks like to be rounded up and pushed onto aircraft, lots of rioting by the look of it. Looks like hostile action. Over."

"Roger 201, proceed on mission, we'll check it out. Out."

[Jesus H. Christ, I say one thing OOC about IC, and you guys are on it like fat kids on pudding. Why didn't you notice it before?

And IC the Slaves have been lifted off the island and are in labor camps as we speek as of one NS year ago.

Despite that, thank you Leaf, at least you can RP things correctly... Please guys listen to him, and ferkin descover it... Oh and on a side note, they were rounded up in one day. By that it was within a 24 hour timeframe, not daylight.]

"Roger 201, proceed on mission, we'll check it out. Out."A single F/A-25 Lindorm had been stalking it. And by the looks of it they were already making for bad PR. The Lindorm with the RADAR signature of less than a duck then got on radio and said to the plane intruding upon thier operation. "This is Messiah one, please get out of this operational airspace or hostile action will be taken. Also, there does not seem to be rioting at all, nor do there seem to be any herding into planes... All I see is landing craft and people civvies walking in with what seems to be.... Celebration...." Of course Messiah one did not state he was Asperitan and he did not let his Presence be known until the radio statement he had just made was announced. He now armed his AIM-120x SLAMMERS and locked on using the Lindorms extremely advanced mix of LADAR, and LIDAR to lock onto the plane.

"Roger that, messiah, we're out of here." he replied, "201, let's go."

"Echo three, you thinking what i'm thinking?"

"Yeah, probobly."

They made their way back to the battle group.

OOC: There is no given way in hell a nation of your size can possibly transport 2 million slaves in one freaking day. And 1 NS year is 1 day, which it hasent been. Don't forget that we have satallites, and plenty of them. 2 million slaves to me just sounds like 2 million insurgents vs a few thousand soldiers. Zulu wars all over again. 2 million people dont just let you come in, tell them they are happy slaves, and get on a plane and leave.

News Broadcast to the Entire World

General Argus stood in front of a massive chanting crowd. Masked soldiers carrying Raptor LMGs flanked him while a massive screen showed the flapping banner of Nod. General Argus moved his hands down, silencing the crowd.

'Unity under Nod
One leader, one purpose"

The crowd echoed back: "THE TECHNOLOGY OF PEACE!"

"Today a massive challenge stands at our gates, threatening our peaceful way of life underneath Kane, who was taken by Shekhinah, our subs have discovered a terrible secret hidden by Asperitas."

The screen reveals a satellite scan, then the submarine photographs.

"We believe this to be a slave operation, the natives being enslaved, believing that these are their gods, serving them, it is sick, twisted deception."

The crowded echoed the General's sentiment.

"Now today my brethern, I ask you, in the name of Kane, in the name of his brother Abel, in the name of all those who have fallen and taken into divination by Kane, do we allow slavery to continue?"

The crowded boos the idea.

"Good then in the name of Kane, we will force them to stop."

Open Message

Stop your slave running activities and return all slaves to their homes and under our protection. We shall keep them safe from people like you.

Do not defy us, the consequences will be grave.

[LCM-8's are heavy transports not planes W/ 200 possible passangers =/, I have a tens out thousands of them on the beachfront. Now, I am not saying the entire island is 2 million, I am saying that out of the entire island 2 million were rounded up. In rough estimate, because obviously, not every islander is that nieve. Now from the ones that come, all they do is walk onto a floating platform, and get shuttled back to a huge amphibious transportcraft.]

News Broadcast to the Entire World & Open Note of Leafenstien

The News Agencies in the Isles barely bliped that yet another insane foriegner was enslaving yet another pathetically incompetent foriegner. The talking heads did, however, enjoy the obvious stagecoaching and snake oil sale the Leafenstien were trying to convince the world. The Itchia Gambling Exchange now a fully owned subsidary of Itchia Inc was taking bets as to how long it would take before some gaijin would try and nuke the strange slavers. So far it was an even bet that the gnat had friends.

The largest betting was how big was the coming can of Wup Ass.

One commercial "Weather" satelitte was manuveured over the continental shelf just offshore of the Island. [confirmed...click...]

OOC: I don't really have to get near your battleships. I just have to find tens of thousands of LCM-8s all leaving at once. Kinda suspicious, it gets reported and suddenly we find out through satellite intelligence that the islanders are missing and cross-referencing shows that they are disappearing into said ships. Why would you harvest islanders? Slavery, Leafanistan has delt with a few slavers before.

Also what is wrong with homosexuals?

Besides, you know the saying "The only people that win the war are the victors and the war profiteers."

Mind if I start landing on the island? I'll prove I'm not the savior like some people may imagine.

IC:

Ships began gathering and moving, they were Nod warships, and repurposed Leafanistani vessels. Many of them had been hastily remodeled to fit Nod weapons and such.

They lacked heavy vessels such as battleships and supercarriers, but they had many, many small ships which are arguably better. They rallied about 150km from the island with a long string of support vessels. Subs made up nearly a third of the force.

OOC: Maybe you should take a chill pill and stop talking so tough for a nation your size. See, even savages have the sense that some dude with white skin isnt god. Ever read about the conquest of the americas? The resistance Cortez fought? Yeah, they thought they were cool at first, but then, oh yeah, they're trying to make us do dirty work! I say again, 2 million slaves + nation of your size =/= possible.

And as for your complaining about us finding out, my fleet was on its way home, Leafanistan just so happened to be closing up a war nearby. And on top of that, yeah, satallites. Don't you think we would have seen this low-tech island being dotted with a rogue nation's crap? Yeah, stuff doesnt go unnoticed, we have recon planes you know, and those of us who invest towards it, intel agents all over the world.

IC:

The ships had gathered in the harbour. Smaller craft sailed around the larger ones, the fleet contained:

1x Tranlando Class Battleship
1x Columbo class aircraft carriers
2x Falisky class VTOL carriers
5 Crusiers
20 destroyers
20 frigates
1 Large Hospital Ship
and many more smaller ships and support craft

The ships sailed out of the harbour, and the smalelr civillian ships scattered out of the way.

[1. I have used the 'Ignore/Block' function on them, thank you Jolt forums.

2. I'll react just fine when 1-2 nation of equal or bigger stature resplies with something negative. Not fuggin superpowers, and two of them at that.

3. I don't think your observation sats watch tiny remote islands, and HIS WAR CANT BE NEXT TO THE ISLAND, because if it was I WOULD TO HAVE HAD TO STATE THAT as I am the thread crator and the NS Planet will technically never run out of room for countries when I spawn small islands for the taking they are in some remote part of the insanely large NS World.

4. Okay there is a lot of action going on, but seriously, when isn't there? Making this action about as normal activity as any other time. Your nation simply CANNOT watch every single other nations ordeals, it's simply impossible, and you have do have recon planes I give you that. But you have them patroll small islands in the middle of nowhere? Doesn't seem very logical to me, and the only reason I am replying to you is because Franberry quoted your post making it viewable to me. Which pissed me off the point where I had to reply.

OOC: Someone help me here but, technically, the nation I'm RPing is a breakaway state of about 400 million. You aren't facing Leafanistan, which is embroiled in Civil War. You'd be facing a military of comprabale size. If Leafanistan was involved there would be no blackmail attempt, it'd be a sudden strike on your capital with empty missiles landing in parking lots, as a show of force.

I'm saying, slave states aren't treated well here, look at what happened to Kraven, he is a super-power, 11 billion in his whole 'Supreme State' now he is reduced to picking on smaller nations with tiny strikes. He no longer strikes fear into the hearts of the established large NS community unless it is a small closed RP.
