CA announces "Corp of Shipping"

Blackhelm Confederacy

Seeing that the GASN has begun heavily defending it sea routes to Northford, the Griffincrest Corporation has decided to just be a pain in the ass. They are currently selling 34 Um al Maradim fast assault boats, and 10 Formidable class frigates to various groups, so that they may better themselves. Griffincrest sees this as a way of giving these people a chance to get ahead, because as GASN fatcats are getting rich off of their shipping, these men and their families are starving on some backwards little island in the Pacific. Also included in the sales were hundreds of small speed boats and RPG-7's, and 10 Yak-38 Forger's, and training on how to use them. These weapons are being sold by the CA Corp of Shipping, and information on weapons purchases should be directed there.

OOC: Real reason, I'm bored, and Northford posted everywhere about his "escort force" so I wanted to rain on his parade alittle.

**Smiles**

Areyou just selling the stuff, or what?

Oh, and before you rant on about how I posted everywhere about this force, remember, you post everywhere about how your merc's *pwn* all the worlds oil.

**Giggles** It took me long enough to prokove a response

Either way, here comes the IC:

"Chom Lok Tok", he wispered to those surrounding him. Your enemie's enemy is your friend.

"Bok Tok Chok Dok." What better way to defeat the lion, that give food to the tiger

Smiles arose around the room, their blacked teeth shining in the torchlight. Were it not for the murderous odour, it would have been worth being there, if only for the drink.

"GASN Fok, Griffincrest Dok". This was a different voice now, older and more wiser. It seemed that those around him were frightened.

"GASN Fok, Griffincrest Dok!", he roared, "Glop plop Griffincrest Sok. GASN Vok Mok Floploplop. Blangbok GASN" GASN Die, Griffincrest live. Griffincrest kill the dead, GASN join the ranks of the unliving.

A younger, sweakier voice spoke up.

"Sir, Hok Johk, we cannot fight without....."he was cut off suddenly, by a knife hurling through the air towards him.

"Gok Fok, NokMok", he replied timidly.

Those around him were staring now, looking into his eyes.

"Dco Fco, Lco" Do not speak the poison voice, youngling., came the reply of the elder. He was drawing a piece of paper out of his tattered robes.

"Hok Yok, Goh Koh Flo. Lok Bok Dak. DAK!" No fight, we must buy to fight. Let us buy war. Make war!.

Slowly, he wrote, on the paper, taking time to ensure his misshapen letters were still legible.

Greetings Friend.

We are the Chomlocks, an oppressed group in Northford. We have money, and we wish to make a purchase from you.... we wish to make war with the capitalist scoundrels.

Give us your price.

We will give you our souls.

OOC: Basically they are funding known pirate organizations around the world.

IC Reply: What sort of purchases to you boys have in mind? The Um al Maradim can be sold for a nice 100,000$, very cheap price.

Emperor Baker smiled at this. He knew exactly what needed to be done.

"Admiral Reinhardt?" He asked calmly, looking over his shoulder to the young, newly promoted Admiral. "You remember the Griffincrest Corporation, don't you?"

"Oh yes sir," He replied with a wide grin. "My carrier battlegroup fought them at Four Corners."

"Yes, so you did!" He replied. "I want your wolf pack to have a little fun."

"It would be a pleasure."




"Captain," Navigations Officer Hartman said, "We have a course set to follow the convoys."

"Good!" Captain Hamilton replied. "Have Wolves 1 through 4 move to the eastern route, 5 through 9 take the western convoys. Do not engage, yet. I'll give you the orders."

This offer seems interesting. How much for 3 Patrol Boats?

"Captain Hamilton," The Emperor said over the direct radio feed he had established with all his officers, "You may fire upon any Griffincrest Convoys. Good luck, good hunting, and have fun."

Secret IC:
SCENE: Office of the Supreme Emperor
George punched up a few buttons and several items appeard on his screen. The locations of every MSF Ship in the fleet and the locations of all Spy Satelites owned and operated by the Dark Empire. He then noticed a few things and pushed the intercom.

"Henry. Can you come to my office." He then stood there waiting. Henry, the 2nd in command for the Security Agency, walked in a few short moments later.

"Can I help you, sir?" Henry Said.

"Do you see an issue with this screen?" George Said.

"No, Sir," Henry Said.

"I do. There is no survelance on Blackhelm or the corporation within her boarders. I want SpySats there. Dismissed." George Said.

"Yes, Sir." Henry then walked out of the office.

Reading the letter, Chief Clomlock: BokCok, slowly drawled. His lower lip was quivering, and the sheet of paper was slowly being crumbled.

"Gok Gok LopKok Hok!" Cometh the new's of eagles!/I]

He continued to talk, slowly drawing in those around him.

"Gbok Gbok Iok Fok Dok Sok" [I]Give our harvested poison to Tiger.

"We have 1 Mullon USD", he started, making sure he correted his poor spelling, "We want to make war".

He folded the letter, and gave it to his messenger.

OOC: Is my Heartland Ani-Trade still in Northford? I'm pretty sure it is, but am not ready to get involved in this thread yet. In the mean time, think of this post as a poorly disguised tag.

I think it is...

I mean, I havn't told your guy's to bugger off, so unless you want otherwise, we can just assume we're happily trading with eachother.

"Milord," General Prinn entered the office of Lord Necromancer, "I believe you will want to see this."

Prinn gave the Zombie Alliance's ruler a sheet of paper. Lord Necromancer read over it; it was something about troubles in some country called Northford and the possibility of a war there. "And?" asked Lord Necromancer, "What does this have to do with us?"

"Lord Exodd is in Northford."

"What?"

The general stepped back a little and said, "Your grandson, Lord Exodd is visiting his commercial holdings in Northford at this moment."

"Well," said the necromancer, "Send a message to him. Ask him to leave."

"That has already been done, milord; he has yet to respond."

OOC: I couldn't see the ZA's government getting into a war because of domestic animal trade, but they might if one of their ruling family is in danger.

LOL! Counter Pirating or pirating? If I were a Pirate, I'd want to be looting your transport ships! However, I merely wish to see every vessel you ship out on the bottom of the ocean.


*Snickers*


Hey GASN guys! He thinks we're pirates! *Laughs*

I'll be attacking your freighters.

Damn, those poor freighters are really taking a beating...Now for the IC response

Dear Emperor Baker,

Would you really be so heartless as to allow these poor, poor islanders to starve as massive ships of riches sail by their homes daily? I think Northford can live with a slight supply drop, to feed hundreds of starving families around the ocean. And don't try and say aide. These people only know war. They are hugely unskilled in agriculture, and attempts to teach them have repeatedly failed. I say, if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime, just substitute fish with hunting commercial vessels. So yup, Griffincrest Humanitarian aide. Pretty wild eh?

Dearest Claudius Griffincrest,



I fear I do not know what you are talking about! We have not attacked your ships. Surely you are mistaken.

PS. Hypothetically if I were sinking those ships, I wouldn't stop any way.
