IC:

It was a cold winter's day in Ukraine, like so many before it and hopefully one of the last. The city streets of Kiev were bustling with activity as people scurried along with their daily lives. Suddenly a new noise rose, quite unusual, the steady beat set it off from the seeminly random noises the city usually makes. In almost perfect unison 5,000 men marched down the street, forcing cars to the side of the road. "Join the class struggle!" chanted the men. "Freedom to the proletariat!" and "End the tyranny of the Capitalizt!" were also favorites from this group. The group continued to march through the city center, causing massive traffic problems and receiving ice cold looks from the crowds who had gathered in the street. The men did not carry weapons but they did carry the red flag of the former Soviet Union, hundreds of them infact, as well as carrying portraits of Marx and Lenin.

Several blocks ahead the Kiev Police had set up a roadblock with over 300 officers as well as 900 troops from the nearbye Kiev Airbase. The troops were lined up parallel to the street for an entire block wearing full battle gear while the police manned the road block in riot control gear. The troops had strict orders not to open fire on the marchers for fear of bringing sympathy to their cause, they were merely there as a show of force. As the marchers approached the roadblock they stopped with the front line only 15 feet away from the barricades. A police captain shouted to the group, "You men are assembled illegally, according to the laws of the Union before a protest and/or demonstration may be staged the group must get a permit for said protest and/or demonstration. You must disperse immediately!"

Someone in the group stepped forward, presumably the leader. "As citizens of the Union we have every right to stage a protest for our beliefs! You, all of you, have been corrupted by the capitalizt, you were once proud members of the largest, most powerful nation on the world. Join us in helping to regain our former glory!"

The captain shouted to the group once again. "You men are illegally assembled and must disperse immediately!"

The leader of the group, known only as Vladimir once again spoke, "We are peacefully demonstrating, you 'officers' are but tools of the capitalizt who use you to oppress the masses. Captain, order your men to step aside!"

The captain, quite shocked at this reply, responded "I will not give that order, disperse immediately!"

"Do it now, Captain!"

"I will not give that order!"

Suddenly a gunshot rang out. For an entire second there was nothing but silence as the entire city stood still, the police captain looked down at a neat round hole in his uniform just above the heart. The bullet had clipped the aorta and blood was gushing out of the hole now creating a large red spot that quickly spread. The captain collapsed, dead. More shots rang out, this time from the soldiers on either side of the collumn of protestors. For a couple seconds the gunfire was sporadic, then seeminly at once the entire street erupted with gunfire as the troops all opened fire on the protestors. The shooting only lasted a few seconds but the damage was done.

In the chaos that ensued 347 protesters were killed, another 1,428 wounded, 2 soldiers were killed and 64 wounded, four police officers were killed and 37 wounded. However the instigator of all this, the one named "Vladimir" was not found amongst the dead nor did he turn up at any of the hospitals in Kiev with any injuries. Captain Coleman, American by birth, had moved back to Ukraine with his mother following his dad's death, for his actions that day he was awarded with the Civil Servant Medallion, the highest civilian honor the government can bestow on a citizen for actions taken in servitude to the Union. Vladimir's face would be pasted all over the Eastern European Union for his part in the massacre, he was instantly declared the most wanted man in the Union. The Operational Intelligence and Services Agency (AKA my CIA) instructed their agents all over Europe to start looking for this man. Never again would the red flag fly over any parts of the EEU. Vladimir would be hunted down and his sponsors would be discovered and dealt with in time, the government of the EEU would deal with this swiftly and harshly for the best way to kill a political movement was to kill the man in charge while it was still in its infancy.

[ooc: presumably the details of this strike has been heard around the world, given modern technological advances in communications...]


The news of attacking mobs in the East European Union has prompted for a domestic reaction from the Imperial Government in Hangyeong:

"It has been acknowledged recently that activists in the capital of the EEU have assembled under peaceful pretenses, and when confronted by local authorities, opened fire upon the authorities, resulting in a massacre of the activists. His Imperial Majesty wishes to recite the Imperial Decree of Voluntary Civic Duty of the 5th Year of the Jeongmu era, confirmed by the Emperor Gwangmu among other declarations - while guaranteeing citizens the right to peaceful assembly, the Imperial Civil Defense Units will respond to hostile assemblies with force, to ensure the safety and protection for all of its citizens. The actions in the EEU are not an example that should be followed in the Empire, as such conduct is unrepresentative of the civil and harmonic nature of the Han, and as being Han, all citizens are free to assemble in protests that do not hinder or harm other citizens from expressing their own rights. It is the official response of the Empire to offer condolences still to those who have suffered loss in the incident, but we cannot tolerate the violent reaction of those citizens, and this example of brutality must be acknowledged as unruly, uncivil, and uncharacteristic of the noble citizen, and in showing respect to his authorities, the subject should not violently revolt. As always, the Empire offers its citizens redress if in harmony, the petitions are submitted within reason. Nonetheless, if these reactions in the EEU should provoke a local hostile response, ICDU will reciprocate every measure of hostility upon those who inflict the same upon other citizens and His Majesty's subjects.

--- Friendly Message from the Imperial Ministry of Imperial Affairs ---"


[I]The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs submitted the following message to their counterparts in the EEU Ministries:

"Our condolences go to those citizens who have suffered loss this day, as a result of the reckless and uncivil actions of your protesters. It is disappointing to see how some citizens cannot comprehend peaceful protest and assembly, and in those times must learn of the responsibility to act civilly within the accords given to them by his Most Gracious Sovereign of the East European Union. It is therefore fitting that the Han Empire offer its support in any operation seeking to pacify the insolent and to rectify the losses incurred.

--- Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs ---"

OISA Begins Investigation into Red Protest

Vienna (AP) - The President announced at a press conference in Vienna today that the Operational Intelligence and Services Agency has launched an investigation behind the apparent communist rally in Kiev this morning. Said the President "Communism is a relic of the old work, a system which has proved over and over again it does not work. Those who call for a return to communism are the same people who want to sieze the land and means of production in the name of the working class while using it for person gain. Communists are liars and thievs and violent actions on their part will not be tolerated under my watch." Obviously upset by the turn of evens in Kiev, the President also said that if any foreign governments were involved in these events they would be dealt with swiftly.

When asked about the the mysterious Vladimir who led the demonstration, the President merely replied that at this time his true identity was unknown, however the OISA would be looking for him in the EEU and the rest of Europe. One question was hanging in the air during the entire press conference and was finally asked by a reporter from America. "Given their recent talks of unification, is there any evidence to show that Russia is behind today's demonstration?" to which the President replied "I will not at this time point any fingers, however I will say this, we are exploring all options at this time. Whoever organized this event caused the death of several fine soldiers and police officers and over 300 fine young men who were corrupted by promises of power and properity."

Needless to say the Government is considering this action to be the start of an attempt to bring communism back to Ukraine, if not the whole of the Eastern European Union.

The Carloginian Republic of America expresses it's deepest sorrow for the massacre upon the streets of the grand city of Kiev. Their faces will surely be remembered upon the faces of their brethren. This Vladimir will surely be brought to justice. We sincerely hope that the deceased and the injured's families are doing well in the hospitals of Kiev. Again, the Carloginian Republic of America expresses it's deepest sorrow for the Eastern European Union.

In addition to our condolences the Carloginiasn Republic of America is offering it's assistance in finding this traitor of the Free World and bringing him to justice in a EEU court of law.

To the families of EEU citizens whom were massacred

We are offering you an all expenses paid trip to the beautiful white-sand beachs of Puerto Rico.

Kiwiland Message to The Easter European Union

HM Government of Kiwiland expresses the utmost sincere sympathies to the EEU and the families of the victims in this tragedy. We offer any support the EEU may wish to ask of us, and pray for the speedy arrest of Vladimir. Our assets are watching out for him too, in case he should try cross the borders.

Meanwhile, our Ministry of Education has established the Captain Coleman and Kiev Massacre Memorial Scholarships, which will pay all expenses for 25 Ukranian students to come study political sciences or history at the Imperial University of Osaka, and a further 10 at the Imperial University of Vladivostok.

May justice be done and victims swiftly avenged.

To The Eastern European Union,

The Scandinavian State of Futuris expresses its deepest condolences for the families of those who lost their lives in this terrible incident. Our Scandinavian Criminal Investigation Agency is looking for any signs of Vladimir on the Interweb, and we will send aid for repairs if you ask for it. We hope that the innocent will be avenged and the guilty done justice.

SIC to EEU:

Our militia personnel have uncovered a massive plot in the Empire to support your radical terrorist - Vladimir Bogdorski. While we did not uncover this terrorist's plots, we have ready suspicion to suggest that your person is leaving or has left for a country farther to your south. We have since confiscated the funds being arranged for him and administered public civil punishment for all members found to be in support of the operations. The funds have since accumulated to approximately 500,000W (my currency is a derivative of the Chinese "yuan" and Korean "weon" - which actually mean the same exact in thing in the two languages). While we could put this to better use, we felt that your government could find these funds to be in good use in your struggle against radical anarchists seeking to destroy the balance of civilization.

Additionally, it might be a good time for us to formalize our relations. In any case, please consult our Foreign Affairs Ministry for these details.

Russia Accused of Supporting 'Vladimir'

Vienna (AP) - An un-named OISA official says new information indications that Russia could be behind the recent unrest in Kiev. Our source, who spoke under conditions of anonymity, said that Russia was the only nation with the means and the motive to incite such a rebellion in Ukraine. In addition to this information a high level source within the President's administration said that a Russian military craft crashed in the Carpathian Moutains in Hungary and that Russia had treatened military action if their investigators were not allowed to examine the wreckage. Perhaps in response to the new information and the threats, the President has called up roughly 20% of the reserves, mostly in Ukraine, and ordered the Air Force to start a 24/7 patrol of the skies near the Russian border, presumably to... redirect anymore Russian aircraft that may stray into Eastern European Union airspace.

SIC to China:

Thank you for the information you have provided on the criminal Vladimir Bogdorski and we are escpecially grateful for your turning over the 500,000W that was in his organization's possession when you dismantled their cell in your nation. The funds will prove very useful tracking down this enemy of the Union and bringing him to justice for insighting civil unrest and several hundred charges of murder.

RSFSR takes action
To: The EEU
From: RSFSR
This was so predictable! Why is it every time some crackpot in your nation decides to rekindle the old ways, WE get blamed for it? We're not even Communists anymore for Christ's sake! We are a union of Socialist republics. May I stress it again. SOCIALIST. How about trying to look inside of your own country next time instead of blaming us?

Signed,

OOC: Nothing against you, but I would think that the Russians would be pissed off if this actually happened and send close tp the same response as I did.

SIC to China:

ooc: I will spend many nights trying to convince that "China" is an anachronism, since it is a Western term... "Han" is more appropriate - perhaps even "Qin". But no worries! RL precedence is going to be a tough opponent :D

SIC reply:

If your government seeks any aid, the Han Empire is willing to support your aims to ensure civil justice for the wrongs of these anarchists in your country. It seems that this is more global than before perceived, and it is necessary to stand as civilized countries against anarchist forces that seek to destabilize our world. In the meantime, we are glad to see our welcome offer put to excellent use by your forces in countering these insolent barbarians.

SIC to the RSFSR

Greetings Comrade,
Of course you are a socialist nation, the former Soviet Union was also a socialist nation, communism is an impossible and impractical system that has proven itself a failure over and over again, socialism has only a slightly better track record. After so many years of Russian intervention in Ukrainian affairs don't you think it only natural that when we receive information that Russia was behind a plot to kill citizens of the Union we believe it? I will have you know that we are looking inside of the Union for Vladimir and his co-conspirators, however we are looking outside of the Union also, these men received financing from outside of the Union and we will find out from whom. Would you provide us information to prove your innocence or continue to make promises of "restoring lost glory" and threatening all your neighbors?

To the RSFSR, EEU, and the Han Empire,

The Scandinavian State of Futuris urges for these hostilites to cease. We suggest to use a system of "innocent until proven guilty". For now, all three countries (as well as everyone else) should work closely together on apprehending this "Vladimir" and ensuring peace throughout the Eastern European as well as Asian regions. If a conflict ensues because of harsly spoken words, or regrets over past deeds, not only will Asia explode in violence, but most of Europe will be pulled in whether they like it or not.

Again, we ask that this "Vladimir" be seen as the true enemy to the whole world as a terrorist. The SSF also urges to remember that difference in political and economic style is no reason to prosecute or prejudice.

The Han Empire raises a curious as the reasons for the State in Futuris to accuse the Empire of violence firstly, and to their reasons for presuming that the Han Empire seeks to instigate a conflict. As far as we are aware, anarchist forces have perpetrated an attack upon the EEU, and their government has seen reason to conclude that the RSFSR is at fault. While our tangible intelligence does not suggest the same information, but as it is their security issue, we shall let them resolve it within their reason. As far as we are aware, the Han Empire is not involved in the disputes of anarchism and those between the EEU and RSFSR.

The Scandinavian State of Futuris wishes to apologize for the misunderstanding between our two nations.

IC:

The Han Empire accepts the apology and furthermore acknowledges that there was likely confusion in recent remarks concerning the nature of the attacks - whereas the Empire has been blaming anarchist forces, and these remarks may have been contributed to be a perception of attacks in support of EEU claims. Nonetheless, we are glad to see that these claims have been verified and clarified by both of our states. We nonetheless echo the sentiments - concerning the warning to prevent an otherwise small incident from growing into a larger conflict. Of late, the discourse has grown cold, and the apparent incident of falling planes has only added to the tension between the two.

If the government of Futuris can provide an impetus to resolving this through amiable discourse, the Han Empire feels that this would be most constructive to resolving this issue.

[b]OISA Tracks Vladimir to the Southp[b]

Vienna (AP) - The OISA announced today that thanks to assistance from an un-named foreign government the man known as Vladimir had been tracked fleeing to a country in the south. While the OISA would tell us no more we can only speculate as to which country they fled to, the most likely is either Nuevo-Italia or the United Arab Socialist Republic. While the USAR might have the motivation it is doubtful that they could organize and finance such a plot without being noticed by the OISA and Nuevo-Italia is lacking in both the means and the motivation to do this. Speculation returns to Russia being the organizers of the recent protests wich cost so many lives. Officially nobody from the administration of Shishenko has painted Russia as the culprit, but nontheless the possible always remains, given Russia's centuries of intervening in the affairs of her neighbors in Eastern Europe.

SIC to RSFSR:

The Middle Eastern Coalition would like to express its condolences to all who lost their lives and who were injured, however we do not like communism, to state why we and many others don't like this terrible system of government is quite simple, as stated by a man who is no longer alive, but is still a genius,

The reason people don't like communism, is because people like to own stuff.

Pinsk, RSFSR

Two OISA agents sat outside of a sidewalk cafe in Brest, under the guise of two business men enjoying the nice weather, the agents were actually watching and waiting. They did not have long to wait, a black BMW pulled up to a resteraunt across the street, a man stepped out of the rear passenger side door, Victor. "That's him." Said Yuri Alexei, standing 6'4" tall he was quite intimidating, however his demeanor was very kind unless he was angered, right now he was quite angry. "So that's the man who is responsible for the death of hundreds of our citizens. At least now we know where he is. Call it in, Alexander, let headquarters know we've found him and then start organized a mission to bring him out of RSFSR territory and into the EEU so he might be punished for his crimes."

Pinsk, RSFSR

Victor's car left his de facto headquarters, it was immediately followed by a car carrying two OISA agents, Yuri and Alexander. "He's on the move." Yuri said into a radio that was hidden in his sleeve. There was a helicopter waiting at the airport, it's pilot was another OISA agent who had chartered the helicopter from a local crop duster. The plan was simple, when Victor arrived at his favorite restaurant for breakfast the OISA agents would nab him, kill his bodyguards and hightail it to the airport, once there they would immediately board the helicopter and fly to the EEU. The Air Force had promised Yuri that eight Mig-29's would be in the air to provide air support once Yuri reached EEU airspace. "We're at the restaurant." Yuri said into his radio. The two OISA agents pulled up next to Victor's car. Immediately Yuri was out of the vehicle and firing, two quick shots found their marks in Victor's unsuspecting bodyguard, the driver was able to fire a couple shots before he was cut down the Alexander. Yuri rushed to the other side of the car, grabbed Victor who was attempting to flee, and forced him into the car. "Drive Alexander!" shouted Yuri. Alexander began speeding away from the restaurant but once he was a few blocks away slowed down to match traffic, now wanting to attract attention to themselves. At the airport, which was a private airstrip outside of Pinsk to avoid RSFSR officials, the two men loaded a sedated Victor into the helicopter took off and started flying south to the EEU border only thirty miles to the south.

Two OISA agents sat outside of a sidewalk cafe in Brest,

ooc: pardon me, but isn't Brest in France?

ooc: pardon me, but isn't Brest in France?

ooc. He probably means Brest-Litovsk.

Originally I was going to have the agents meet in Brest, Belarus, but I decided since that was right on the border it didn't leave as much time for RSFSR to try and respond if he felt it was necessary, so I moved it to Pinsk which is about 50 miles north of the border I believe.

BTW, the correct name is Brest.

Pinsk AFB, RSFSR

The Radar controller watched his screen silently when he opicked up a bogey. He hit the red alarm button and went on the loudspeaker of the base.

Attention! Attention! We have a bogey in our airspace near Pinsk! It's a HELO judging by its speed and menouvers, so I want interceptors up in the air now!

Pilots scrambled their aircraft and headed towards the bogey marked on their HUDs.

ten minutes later...

two Mil Mi-28 Havoc Attack Helicopter's sped in on their target. The lead pilot hailed them on the radio.

Attention unidentified aircraft. You are in RSFSR airspace. Stand down and proceed immediately to Pinsk AFB. If you do not cooperate, we will be forced to shoot you down.

Yuri responded with "We are two agents with the Eastern European Union Operational Intelligence and Services Agency transporting a known terrorist to the EEU where they will face punishment for their crimes against the Union."

Yuri responded with "We are two agents with the Eastern European Union Operational Intelligence and Services Agency transporting a known terrorist to the EEU where they will face punishment for their crimes against the Union."

The pilots wired the message back to the tower where an Army Colonel was presiding over the situation.

"I want to clear this personally. Make them come to the base." said the Colonel.

The lead Havoc lent another message to the fleeing helicopter.

You still need to come back to the AFB to have your story cleared. Turn around immediately.

Yuri heard the Russian response and knew what to do immediately. The OISA had already concluded before planning this mission that the Russian government was, in one way or another, supporting Victor and his organization. The fact that the Russians claimed not to have any information on the terrorist was enough to convince the OISA of their support. Now the Russians were attempting to intervene in an OISA operation to capture said terrorist. Yuri switched the radio in the helicopter to a secure channel and said one word "Escort." before switching back to the frequency that the RSFSR Mi-24's were using. The eight Mig-29's that were patrolling the EEU-RSFSR border to the south immediately changed course and headed north. Seconds later two Vympel R-73 air-to-air missiles slammed into the two persuing Mi-24's. The helicopter was now only a few miles north of the EEU border and would be entering EEU airspace within two minutes. In what would have been a very fatal twist of irony, the helicopter the OISA agents were flying in almost lost control and crashed in the turbulance caused by the Mig-29's as they flew by.

The pilots of the Mi-28's dove down towards the ground to avoid the jetwash of the MiG's.

This is interceptor team A! We have multiple MiG's on our position! scramble fighters immediately! We need assistance. The Havoc's readied their countermeasures and Air to Air missiles for a fight.

Meanwhile, back at the Pinsk AFB, pilots scrambled to get into their planes and helicopters. Two Ka-50's, four MiG-31's and five Su-35's took off and flew towards the scene. A Regionwide Broadcast was sent out to the nearby AFB's calling all fighters to respond to an attack near Pinsk.

Back at the two Havoc's, another message was sent out to the EEU aircraft.

All fighters leave our airspace immediately! We have fighters inbound and we will attack if necessary. We order your helicopter to land at Pinsk AFB or you will be fired upon!

Unfortunately for the Havoc's, help was too late. Two missiles slammed into the first Mi-28, blowing it out of the sky in a ball of fire and metal. The second Havoc blew out all of its countermeasures and flew in low to the ground skimming the treetops to avoid detection.

Command! We have a Havoc down! I need backup immediately!

Command was stunned to hear this and immediately sent this message out to all AFB's within range.

Attention pilots. The EEU has shot down an Mi-28 in cold blood. All operational Fighter, Fighter/Bomber, and attack helicopter personell scramble and head to the Pinsk area. Our fighters nearby will try to hold them there as long as possible in order for us to exact revenge upon their sorry asses. Now Move!

Meanwhile, The Su-35's and MiG-31's entered the fray. The Su-35's launched five R-77 Adder AAM's at the MiG's while the MiG-31's also launched four R-77's at the MiG's. It was a full scale air battle over Pinsk, and hopefully it wouldn't escalate past this.

OOC: Each plane shot one missile.

Bizzump for WP.

OOC: Sorry for the delay, I did not think I would get this busy all of the sudden at school. Might be best if this not escalate into a full-scale war because I simply don't have the time to RP that right now.

The Mig's didn't wait around long, after the first Havoc went down and the second fled the Mig's were only going to wait long enough for the OISA helicopter to make it safely into EEU airspace. Suddenly the missile lock warnings on the Mig's started going off, everyone immediately took evasive maneuvers, but it was too late for three of the Mig's as they were hit with missiles. The remaining five Mig's darted towards the EEU border only seconds away, already aircraft in Kiev were taking off to join the fight if the Russians took it south of the border but for now the five remaining Mig's were on their own while remaining over Russian territory. The plan had been to get the OISA helicopter to safety, everyone knew that it was risky and that people would going to die, the EEU Air Force was content to cut its losses and head home, whether the Russians would follow suit or not would remain to be seen...

The planes were about to follow when a transmission came through from Minsk Command.

Attention. Attention. All aircraft are to report to Minsk immediately for the defense of the Red Leadership. The aircraft moved out to Pinsk to refuel and then head to Minsk, but on the ground, Blue forces managed to sieze the airfield and capture the personell. Russia was in all out turmoil now, with the military split in half and Red forces fighting the Blues all over Russia.

Vienna (AP) - The one who calls himself simply "Vladimir" was brought before a military tribunal in Kiev to decide his fate. The charges against Victor, a citizen of the EEU, will be charged with 1,549 counts of attempted murder, 353 counts of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, conspiring to overthrow the government and instigating rebellious acts against the government. The prosecution, not surprising anyone, is pushing for the death penalty without the usual five year delay to allow time for more evidence to show up that could exonerate the condemned. The defense is arguing that Victor, a former member of the French Foreign Legion, underwent considerable stress from his time in the Legion and that Vladimir had also undergone unknown chemical testing for an assortment of drugs and their effect on the human body which caused mental instability and made Vladimir unable to control his actions at the time.

During the first day of deliberating the prosecution argued that Victor's actions were too well coordinated to have been put together by a mentally unstable man, some of the wounded from the protests were brought up to the stand to testify. All claimed that Vladimir had promised them a brighter future for the "motherland" and revealed that Vladimir's plan was never to overthrow the government of the EEU but to bring about an independent Ukraine under communist rule and very friendly to the RSFSR. Some of the witnesses claimed that Vladimir had been working closely with Moscow, but when cross-examined by the defense it was revealed that not a single one of the witnesses had been close to Vladimir or the rest of the leadership of his movement and none of them could confirm that Vladimir was in contact with Moscow.

On day two of the trial Vladimir himself took the stand. Security was very tight, fearing an assassinated attempt everyone in attendance had to enter the courthouse through a metal detector and new equipment, developed for airport security in America, that could literally see through a person's clothes. Vladimir turned the questions by the prosecution into his own soapbox, claiming that the movement was bigger than himself and if he died thousands would rise up to take his place. Vladimir also denied any Russian involvement but did seem to hint at other sources of outside support that had recently dried up. When examined by the defense Vladimir also claimed that he had been in the French Foreign Legion and that they had conducted numerous tests that were quite illegal. The trial is progressing rapidly, with the outcome hardly in doubt at this point it is expected that the trial will be over within two weeks with sentencing to be swift, barring any major interruptions Vladimir could be dead within two months if the trial continues at its current pace.
