From his palace, Emir Halam Bashir watched over the deserts to the east of his closest window. A gentle breeze gradually pushed the sands westward, but not so much so that it kicked up a storm. A pleasant night, lets call it. Unfortunately for an ethnic few, it would make for an unpleasant beginning; the Emir had been looking for an excuse to VX some of the Kurdish minority to the far northwest, and perhaps there would be a select group of unchosen individuals who would provide that excuse.

Gunshots outside, yelling, and then silence.

From the beginnings of his father's reign when he took control, the Emir's Palace had especially been tight for security. This was fortunate, because every so often amount of years, there would be some sort of an attempt to assasinate him, probably killing his entire extended family in the process - also kept safe within the palace walls. In the meantime, the matter outside had been dealt with, and the corpse of a Kurdish man lay in front of Halam just a few minutes later.

"I suppose he was attempting to penetrate palace walls," noted one of the guards, speaking perfect Suryian. "Nevertheless, he didnt get very far."

Some chuckling ensured, and the Emir was quick to silence them.

"Ready the military, we shall be raping, pillaging, and burning the town of Kallala tonight."

Unfortunate beginnings, indeed - one thousand civillians (including Men, Women, and Children) would be buried the next day in total, some of them so disfigured, they would never be identified.

OOC: ... I'll join as soon as you beging the "Raping and Pillaging"

PUT, PUT, PUT, PUT, PUT...

Such was the sound as the rifle trained soldier emptied his magazine on an entire family, Kurdish ethnicity of course. Having them lined up against the wall, facing their impending doom was always the most interesting way to watch their anxiety. The wall behind them now trailed with bullet marks, there was some six hundred to be buried. And those from a nearby town - some ten thousand Kurds in general had been (forcefully) hired to dig their graves. It was somewhat sad for them; they would be next, and so on, and so on.

As dozens of men, women, and children fell; commanding officers would pace back and forth through out the temporary execution camps, always coming up with new and interesting ways to kill more and more with the least expensive costs. One idea, was death by mortar - proved effective enough; if you convinced them to stand closely enough, you could kill between thirty to fourty at a time.

A transmission came through from high command...

OOC: I sure wish that you would have put a little more effort in than suddenly having xxx amount of troops on my Eastern Border; since you know very little about the geographical nature of al-Suryia. If you want to roleplay with me, use your brain.

Frenzian Central Command,Freedom City,Frenzia

It had been a surprisingly boring day so far,most of the commanders had spent the morning sitting in their offices listening to the cold wind blow by their windows.The commanders had spent much of the last three days in the war room arguing about strategies,so when their pagers went off,interrupting one peticular commander who had fallen asleep at his desk,most of them were angry.

The men had assembled in the war room.The five of them sat around a large,round oak table.Once again the table was littered with documents,the room was dimly lit,the only light coming from the table lamps on the raised portion of the table.On a screen in front of them played a slideshow.The slideshow had documents about the nation of Al-Suryia,its history,past conflicts and way of life today.The men had sat for about ten minutes going over the documents before General Howe spoke up.

''You've read the documents,seen the problem,what do you suppose we do about it.''

An angry looking Admiral began to state his opinion.

''We have other things to worry about,not only our own nation,their is always going to be something bad happening and we can't afford to help everyone.''

''These people have done nothing to provoke such an attack on them by their government,we can topple the government with crippling air strikes and invade.''

The Air Force General spoke,and went back to reading over his documents.A special forces general,someone who rarely spoke,spoke up.

''Let me dispatch a section of my men,we will assasinate the current leader and turn the nation into turmoil.The Air Force can drop leaflets telling the people to fight against their oppressors,then the army can mop up whatever remaining resistance that would be left.''

The commanders spent another hour discussing options,they finally decided to try the Special Forces General's plan,and if that failed,a bombing campaign by the Air Force.

14:00 FFB Alpha

A MC-130E/H Cargo Plane sat on the runway,inside was and eight man team of special forces,they were going to attempt to parachute somewhere safe,outside the palace,they would be sent in in civilian clothes,a disassembled sniper rifle would be hidden in a backpack,they would be pretending to look like tourists,that's if they even made it onto the ground.

18:77 About to enter enemy airspace

The MC-130E/H bumped and jarred as it climbed higher into the sky,28,000 feet to be exact,it was going to fly near the capital and the special forces would jump at a pre chosen location.

OOC: One of my Intelligence Operatives is Travelling through your nation bound for The Armed Republics of The Undead Falcons. The operative has in his possesion a number of documents of sensitive orign.

Operative/ Location Top Secret:

John sat in the room alone he couldnt sleep. His door was locked and his 9mm rested upon the table he sat at its safety off. He was always like this when he was on an OP. He couldn't really sleep then it had happened. The nations Military had suddenly begun to deploy within and around the town. Could they have detected him? They couldnt have known about his presence this was just a couirer mission. He pressed his D.B 4 hours ago and shut down all communication like the contingents had ordered. By now the "Top Brass" would be in the command room deciding what to do. He still had an hour in the dark before he knew the orders were.

Secret Operational Command Centre:
Agent 005 had pressed his Distress Beacon some 3 hours ago and it was plain to see why. A large battleforce of military forces had suddenly began to deploy around the town. Why? Was a different question? Their was nothing to suggest the govenment had detected him or knew of his presence on the wires.

The top brass had been in the conference room for an hour before they apperared. OP Intel Commander Barrett appeared and ordered a message be sent to 005

The staff made it happen.

Transmission to Al Suryia:

The Government of Londim has been made aware of your actions. We will not identify the informer but we have one demand. Stop this unlawful killing of these civilians. A government has the duty of protecting its citizens from harm, not killing them. We are giving you this chance to stop before it goes to far.

********************************************************

Transmission to all nations excluding Al Suryia:

As I am sure you know, Al Suryia has started to kill its own civilians in an attempt of ethnic cleansing. The Government of Londim has already warned them to stop, however it is more than likely they will continue. Our military is already being prepped should this situation need to be ended forcefully. We ask for your help in stopping thee unlawful killings. It has already gone too far.
