Adda Badada, Democratic Safe Zone, March 15, 15:16
The T10 pushed aside the burning wreckage of the car blocking the titans path to the rest of the city, the Tank spoke a definate sign of superioriority but in being deployed in friendly territory failed to intimidate anything but the now crumpled chasis of the vehicle.
IndentThe Tank slowed and wheeled the turret about, a deafining roar filled the wreckage strewn city as a single shell blew apart the idle building which crumpled under its poor Thiomalean architecture, the rubble scattered across the area and coated a nationalist tank in rubble, a second shell flew out to the buried wreckage and smashed apart the enemy Tank.

"Warlord General!" The officers in the underground bunker all turned to salute the malitary commander who had just entered the room, he signaled for the soldiers to stand easy.
Indent"Reprise me of the current situation General." The Warlord had moved over to his second hand man who stood over a map of the Thiomalean territory.
Indent"Yes Sir! As you well know we have taken Adda Abada from the nationalist clan, but we are facing a considerable resistence, unfortunantly we have come across a difficult moment in the campaign, the drafting of military forces has caused a famin which is greatl,y affecting our popularity, we can pull back enough forces to put down any uprisings but we then face the problem of a highly probable counter offensive from the Nationalists, unfortunantly I cannot see a way of continuing without outside help." The General finished, the Warlord rubbed his beard, it had long been that the Thiomaleans kept to themselves and bringing in outside help would likely cause a rebellion or two.
Indent"What if we do bring in foreign help, where next for the campaign?" The Warlord General asked.
Indent"Sir! We can build up a defence helped by the Thioliland Clan, from there we can launch a slow advance up the country." The General looked happy at this, the Democratic clan was bound to win, it had the might and superiority over the poorly equipped and trained Nationalist army.
Indent"Excellent, you will have your foreign assistence soon!"

Adda Badada, Democratic Safe Zone, March 16th, 02:54
The green door of the shanty town building burst down and AK47 weilding soldiers burst in through the gap in the wall, they pointed down all the rebels and held them at gunpoint, one tried to escape and was beaten by the butt of a soldiers gun, a man came in from another room and wildly sprayed the room with gunfire from his pistol, the soldiers quickly gunned down the rebel and turned their attention to the now quivering rebels.

PRIORITY SIGNAL ONE
FROM CINCCIN
TO ADM CHETTERSON
Marcalla naval group to deploy Marines to Thiomalea immediately for construction of forward command airbase from which operations will be conducted and reinforcements brought in. Three squadrons of combat aircraft to be based there. Try to gain permission to use an existing airfield, such as commercial airport or other. Report back upon securing a suitable command point.
"Get the Marines geared up and ready to ship out. I want some forward squads on choppers to move out and secure an area for a landing force. I also want to open communications with the local Thiomalean commanders about using a civilian airfield for our forward command base."
"Aye, sir."
***********************************
Message to local Thiomalean commanders
From Admiral David E. Chetterson, INS Regal
We would like to know if there are any civilian airfields not currently in use that would be suitable for our purposes of a forward command airbase. Please send us the coordinates to such a place if there are any of which you know. It would be preferable if it was relatively safe and easily defended. Thank you.
((I'll draw up an OOB later as soon as everything's situated, okay? I'm not good at OOB's, so it'll just be a pretty vague outline.))

The best option would be the Gondean Airport, heavily damaged during the civil war but still the best airport there is in Thiomalea, you will also easily be able to meet with the Thiomalean military command based in Gondea.

Meanwhile, the air cavalry took off from the carrier they were based on, and made their first sweep of the city, spraying anything that looked hostile with chain guns from the Cobras and Little Birds. Behind them, the landing parties were getting ready on their ships, and 5 Blackhawks were set to drop in men to clear the beach ahead of the landing.

We would advise against such an action, the Democratic Clan will be unable to assist you and without a large steady stream of forces you will surely be over-run by the swarming proud masses of Nationalist forces, but if you see this as a wise course of action then we will be unable to stop you but we will pray for your soldiers.

OOC: Yes, I am.
The choppers lifted off, and set for Merca. They would land an hour before the infantry division, giving them time to cut coastal defenses and throw the enemy into chaos preventing them from doing significant damage to the men who landed.
The Blackhawks were each carrying 10 men, and were now nearing the city. The attack choppers deployed ahead of them had already lightened the defense on the ground, and the LZ was a battered square that had been reported cleaned out by a pair of Cobras. As the choppers hovered over the square, throw ropes were tossed, and the men began sliding down. Flanking the 5 Blackhawks were 2 Little Birds, keeping watch for any enemies who might try to disrupt the drop.

The Nationalists inside the city of Makar (Merca) found it difficult to avoid seeing the Black Hawks hovering above the City, Men and Women loyal to the Nationalists quickly grabbed whatever weaponary in the many stockpiles around the city, the ceilings suddenly became littered with soldiers who took shots at the Helicopters with pistols, Ak-74M's and RPG-29's, the whole city became alive with activity as people began building roadblocks and climbing onto the roofs of technicals.

IC: The raft was incredibly crude, but intentionally so. A number of thick logs wrapped together by rope that was already starting to come loose as the man leapt into the water, swimming swiftly ashore.
The man was dark skinned, and absolutely unremarkable, which was the entire point. He shook himself to get rid of what excess water he could, and then hauled the waterproof bags he had been towing out of the water. He buried several of them, produced a GPS system and made a note of the location, and opened the last, pulling out a pistol, an AK-47, a backpack, a number of knives, fifty bars of chocolate, and several grenades.

A young corporal popped up to fire, and suddenly, he caught two bullets, one to the shoulder, the other to his chest. He collapsed immediatly.

The medic rushed over. "He isn't going to make it unless we get him to a real hospital" he said, trying to stop the bleeding in the wounded Bone Chiller (Griffincrest Spec Ops.). The sergeant got on the radio. "This is sergeant Silverfist, we have a man down, requesting immediate medevac at the drop zone."
For a few seconds, which felt like an eternity for the men, there was radio silence. Then finally "Negative Silverfist. Drop zone is too hot. You're gonna have to wait for the rest of the men to land"
"That wont be for an hour. This man is going to die"
"Nothing we can do, we cant risk sending a chopper out"

Neeko shrugged and walked through the door. "Quite the security setup you've got here," he said calmly, "Situation as dangerous as all that?"
Governer Ishnan looked at the foreigner, "Yes it is! We've had over 40 dead and 300 injured all in gunfights, almost 2% of the population inside Adda Badada have been arrested and we have no law only our soldiers." Ishnan got up, he put his hand on Aklars shoulder signifying him to leave, the Commander walked out the door and it was bolted shut again, "You are foreign, what is your business here?"
OOC: My favorite movie
IC: The last man finally rappelled down onto the street below, and the choppers began to pull out. On the ground, the men were all hiding behind burned out cars and large blocks of rubble. A young corporal popped up to fire, and suddenly, he caught two bullets, one to the shoulder, the other to his chest. He collapsed immediatly. "MEDIC, FUCK GET ME A MEDIC!" the nearby sergeant began yelling.
The medic rushed over. "He isn't going to make it unless we get him to a real hospital" he said, trying to stop the bleeding in the wounded Bone Chiller (Griffincrest Spec Ops.). The sergeant got on the radio. "This is sergeant Silverfist, we have a man down, requesting immediate medevac at the drop zone."
For a few seconds, which felt like an eternity for the men, there was radio silence. Then finally "Negative Silverfist. Drop zone is too hot. You're gonna have to wait for the rest of the men to land"
"That wont be for an hour. This man is going to die"
"Nothing we can do, we cant risk sending a chopper out"
The sergeant threw his walkie talkie against a wal, and hopped up from his hiding spot, firing well placed shots at his enemy, downing a number of them, then returning to his wounded comrade. "Don't worry, you're gonna be okay"
(OOC: mine too, I love the final battlescene)
Despite taking casualties the mob were undeterred, their hatred of this world superpower was great and their want for independence was greater, this was not Blackhelms war, it was Warlord Mohammed Al Nacknan's war and if it was going to come to death for a worthy cause or living without fighting for the Warlord then the mob would take death anyday.
The heat of the desert sun feuled the fire of agression, exits were roadblocked and buildings garrisoned, but the main fighting was taken to the streets as more civilians took up arms, Technicals were beggining to take a hold over the scene as RPG equipped soldiers preffered the mobility and the drawing in of Helicopters for fighting, the loyal Toyota Pickup running them all the way.

"Sir! Black Hawk Copters are engaging known nationalist targets. Civilians and soldiers alike."
"Christ, this is getting message. Relay that to command."
"Right away."
The pilots were horror struck, seeing burning buildings, and dead masses in the streets.

-Helicopters are surveying designated nationalist targets, but are taking no agressive action.

The soldiers took another 3 men dead and 2 wounded as they attempted to push the mob back. They made it about halfway down the block, to a semi-stable building, and began settling in. The wounded were being carried into a kitchen area, where the medics set up a make shift hospital. In a backroom, the bodies of the now 8 dead were stacked. One of the wounded had died from his wounds, and the men on the ground were getting increasingly pissed of at command for the lack of a response.
Aboard the carrier out at sea, 2 Cobra pilots requested they be allowed to provide cover to the besieged men in the city. Their request was granted. In minutes, the choppers would be buzzing over the city, thinning out the crowds with chaingun fire and rockets.

The crowd dispersed as a Technical made its way through to the building, the back supported a large cannon type object, this weapon joined in with the fire blazing off the crowd and other seperate buildings.
The gunfire continued until there was a sudden change in the morale of the crowd, before they had been relentlessly advancing despite major casualties, now they were being chased by flying machines, those in buildings, knowing they were slightly more secure attempted to shoot down the quick moving vehicles but were just too slow, instead they concentrated fire on bringing down the building but soon they too would run to lower levels as the fire from the helicopter pushed them away.

In the sky, numerous weapons were being fired up at the Cobras, most of which were succesfully dodged. Suddenly, an spray of bullets from the ground hit on of the Cobras. "This is Snake 2-8, Hit, losing fuel. I am pulling out and returning to the carrier. Think you can keep it up out there Lu?"

The army began to make plans as to how they would crush the rest of the nationalist party. From where they were now, they owned a reasonably sized section of the Somali capital. Thy would need to expand, and tak ethe rest of the city, then the rest of the country.

Malitia and any citizen able to fight were placed into Technicals and shipped from the small border towns and desert camps to Ogashu, inside Blackhelm controlled Ogashu a typical symbol of this style of warfare was about to come to light, several pre-placed Terror cells began planning, they would kidnap military and civilian officials, place bombs and generally make this occupation a hazard, but it didn't stop within Ogashu, the reign of terror was planned for the overshore territories of this foreign occupier.

The spilt second was all the Thiomaleans required to take advantage of the situation, the charging mob pushed forward with a mighty stampede of gunfire, some of the malitia were trampled in the advance, but all it meant was that there was one less soldier there for the capture and given the numbers it was unlikely to cause a problem.
"Please make way for Warlord General Acknam!" A car had just pulled up and out came a soldier who had called out to the New Aushan(sp?) delegates, behind him was a small convoy of beat up trucks, they too pulled up and AK-74M Guards got out protecting the Warlord General.
As the warlords guards approached the building, New Aushan soldiers, pughed them out of the way. General Mashinkov looked at the warlord sternly. "You dont seem too value our request for aid. Evident in the lateness of your arrival. Good day sir." The general elegantly stepped passed the man, and into a waiting car. Soldiers piled into thier humvess.

OOC: Crap I said Somali
IC: A curfew was imposed at sundown in corporate owned Ogashu. Vehicles were no longer allowed to run, unless the owner got direct permission from the local Griffincrest captain, under which case an armed detachment would accompany the vehicle to its destination. Random sweeps of private housing was commonplace. Patrols went about every other hour. Behemoth II's sat in the larger squares. The city was now under martial law, and would remain as such until the threat was deemed to have passed.

This was nothing new to the people of Ogashu, they were simply passing from one Martial law to another, civil conflict still erupted within the city, it kept the enemy soldiers busy whilst the forces outside of controlled Ogashu continuedf to rise in number.
