A bright warm orange sun reflected off the glass windows of the 23-storey building that stood at the heart of Tuso Mara capital city's down town financial district. Several early shift workers had just started to turn on the computers of the independent bank, called Mcswish and Company Insurance and Bank Institute, preparing to phone customers who had appointments or needed to pay credit card bills or mortgages with the company. Elsewhere in the city there was several other businesses that were opening up just like the financial company preparing to welcome a new day in such a free society.

Nathan Michaels was a young 24 year old man that had just graduated from a technical college and married to his high school sweet heart that believe in this free-market economy that the nation of Tuso Mara and its President, Henrir Kissingnar, was leading the nation to. Waiting for his computer to turn on Nathan Michaels walked into the kitchen on the third floor of the building and poured himself a cup of coffee. As he was doing so the pot shook as well as the wooden table and he put down the pot thinking it was an earthquake. Grabbing his coffee cup he walked to the window on the third floor of his office building and happened to notice a military vehicle on fire and several civilian dress men with a RPG near them.

Eyes widdening Nathan dropped his cup of coffee as a smoke stream rose up from the RPG and smashed into the second and third floor of the financial building that Nathan was standing in. An explosion deafened Nathan and he was crushed to death by collapsing ceiling. However, Nathan was not the only employee killed in the mortar attack, one other female employee was killed and nearly 20 other people were wounded.

Several blocks from Financial center:

Four military transport vehicles were stopped and roughly 25 soldiers were out in a defensive position returning machine gun fire against about 10 to 15 armed men. One soldier tossed a frag grenade down the alleyway resulting in a massive explosion of flames and sparks dropping one of the gunmen with shrapnel wounds. In the battle one soldier was already dead and two other soldiers had been wounded severly.

Machine gun bullets pinged off one of the transport vehicles striking a comm soldier in the back reckiing his radio and hitting a lieutenant in the knee with another bullet. Return gunfire dropped two more gunmen before a second soldier was shot and killed with a shot to the head. The signal was then given and the dead and wounded were loaded on the three movable transport carriers and they drove through the alleyway, with fifty caliber machine guns firing madly into residential buildings and down a highway straight for a nearby military base.

Foreign Ministry Statement:

Today on this beautiful morning our beautiful free-market society of Tuso Mara was attacked by dozens maybe hundreds of armed men and women that are believed to be associated with a banned socialist, ethnic organization that wants to ensure socialist principles over our nation and advantages for our minority people. The nation of Tuso Mara asks all capitalist loving nations to assist us with military aid to deal with these rebels before our economy and nation is destroyed by these trouble-makers.

Anthony Markson
Foreign Minister

Henrir Kissingnar looked out the window of his Presidential Palace and his brow clouded in doubt as he could hear machine gun fire in the center of his city and several explosions. It was unknown what had caused this upsurge in violence in the capital city of Kimara. So far several reports that he had received from his defence minister stated that seven soldiers had been killed and nearly thrity-three others had been wounded in the conflict so far. There was also unconfirmed reports that three gunmen had been captured and nearly a dozen had been killed in the fighting in the capital of Kimara.

Henrir Kissingnar signed and sat down at his desk and read the report that had been provided to him two weeks before. The report had been written by the Defence Ministry along with the Education and Interior ministries where they indicated basically that with the economic growth in the capital and in surrounding areas the poor were being left more and more behind along with ethnic minorities such as blacks and Muslims which as of two weeks ago was causing radicalism in poor areas of the city and in the nation where if they could not advance within the box they would then find a way to move around the box and the equated to violence. Or so Henrir Kissingnar would be led to believe! He had been the President of Tuso Mara for the past three years and had pushed for everyone to advance by their own efforts, not leaving it to social welfare to assist people and that had resulted in the economic and financial surge in the nation but now the disenfranchisement of people that was now threatening the nation.

In the center of the city a black hawk helicopter carrying five Tuso Mara special forces soldiers and two pilots flew low over several businesses and did not notice the flash and spree of air which was from an RPG. The RPG smashed into the back of the helicopter and it crashed into a small business that was three stories tall. Rotars smashed walls to pieces and the third floor collapsed onto the second floor that smashed down on the first floor leaving the badly damaged helicopter lying on it side. Four of the soldiers and one of the pilots was dead and a special forces soldier and a pilot were badly wounded, along with five civilians that had been killed when the helicopter smashed into the building.

So far in nearly eight hours of fighting in the capital there was fourteen soldiers dead along with a dozen rebels dead and nearly eight civilians dead and several people captured on both sides.

Real Moresby, Southern Tuso Mara, Port city:

Gunfire erupted on the streets of Real Moresby a small port town of nearly 20,000 people near the military based that housed nearly 400 soldiers. Machine gun bullets were exchanged between the two sides as between 40-100 armed men and women exchanged gunfire and explosive devices with the military forces of Real Moresby, mostly grenades. At the harbour a small speed boat carrying two armed men headed for a small Coast Guard patrol boat when they hit a wave and smashed into the hull of a foreign (registered) freighter ship resulting in a massive explosion and a large hole being punched into the freighter's side.

Mortar rounds were also fired from outside the town limits down onto the military base and central areas of the community resulting in large blumes of smoke to rise from the community center core.

Jose Vales loaded his AK-47 assault rifle and he along with several friends waited for a small police convoy to go by. Jose was a young 20s unemployed Hispanic youth that along with other minorities equated nearly 65% of the 12% unemployment within the nation of Tuso Mara. However, Jose and his four friends (two hispanic, two white) were not fighting for jobs, they were fighting for respect for their people and assistance because if you were not white or middle-class it was almost stated by the capitalist government that you would be discriminated and thusly it would be extremely hard to get a job or get credit in such an economic and social position.

Hearing several vehicles start going by and the road Jose gave the signal and the five armed men stood up and fifty caliber machine gun bullets ripped into them with body pieces flying everywhere as all five dropped dead on the side of the road as the military/police convoy moved along. Hearing the sounds of bullets some elderly men and women came out of their poorly built houses and began to scream and wail at the sight of the five dead young men.

----------

In the capital of Tuso Mara gunfire still rippled across several of the heavily poor neighborhoods. Several small government patrols were still being attacked on a second day of heavy street fighting and a second helicopter had been damaged and resulted in a co-pilot being killed already.

So far in two days of bloody fighting in the capital;

31 soldiers or police dead
25 armed men and women dead
17 civilians dead
8 armed suspects captured and taken into custody
3 soldiers feared missing and presumed captured by the suspected rebels

The nation of Dutevustan as well is a freedom loving capitalist nation that understands the pains that are occuring within the national borders of Tuso Mara and we send our condolences to the men and women, especially of the Tuso Mara armed forces that have lost their lives in the past several days because of the violence that is occuring within their borders. As well, the nation of Dutevustan would like to assist the Tuso Mara nation in supressing this Communist rebellion by dispatching 1,200 Dutevustan National Guard troops to the nation of Tuso Mara to assist the Tuso Mara national government in supressing this rebellion. All we need is your consent in allowing our national troops on to your soil to continue out with this operation.

Anmar Military Base;

Colonel Michael Razzinz stood and looked at the several transport helicopters that were positioned and being loaded on the base. All four transport were being loaded with rockets and supplies to carry up to thrity troops in each of the four transport helicopters while the 1,050 would arrive through a military ship.

General Harold Anderson walked to the Colonel and saluted him. "You have been appointed commander of this unit to carry out another operation in the nation of Tuso Mara. In Tuso Mara your objective is to neutralize the communist threat. Understood! Good!"

Secret Response to the Tuso Mara National Government:

Therefore we ask the Tuso Mara government to accept 1,200 National troops from Dutevustan onto their national soil to assist and complete the annihilation of the communist threat.

Anmar Military Base:

As four attack-transport helicopters were being loaded up with troops and supplies Colonel Michael Dwapu stood and looked as General Gerald Micharc arrived. The four helicopters were going to carry 120 troops to the nation of Tuso Mara while 1,000 more were going by military sea transport. Colonel Dwapu saluted as the General stopped in front of him.

"You have been placed in command of this unit Colonel Dwapu. You are to lead 1,200 men into Operation Swish Night against a communist threat in the nation of Tuso Mara. We still need national approval to go in but we are preparing to go in nonetheless. Understood! Good!"

To Dutevustan:

The government of Tuso Mara thanks the national government of Dutevustan for assisting it in its times of trouble and we would be happy to accept the 1,200 Dutevustan troops to get rid of this Communist rebellion so we can maintain the healthy economy we had.

Gunfire richocheted off the cobble streets of the central district of the Tuso Mara capital city as two soldiers dropped, both mortally wounded, to the gunfire that was raining down on them from second and third story windows. The other thirty members in the squad grabbed the two dying soldiers and placed them in the back of their military humvee where three other non-seriously wounded soldiers were.

The capital was entering into its fourth day of bloody street violence with no end in sight with about 12 buildings have being destroyed in the conflict with nearly 110 people alone being killed in the capital city with nearly 20 others being killed in the port town of Real Morseby and about a dozen more nationwide.

Just outside the capital a small refugee camp had been forming in the hills with about two dozen tents set up to house about 130 civilians that had fled their homes but had no where else to go to get away from the conflict that was ripping at their nation.

President Kissingnar looked down at the military plans that had been drawn up by the Defence minister. The plan was to block off two central poor areas in the capital city as well as have pincher moves in Real Moresby against any Communist agression in both areas. In total, 4,000 soldiers would take part in such an operation to first contain violence in the poorer areas of the city and eliminate violence in Real Moresby.

So far, 10 rebels had been captured along with four soldiers on the rebel side.

OOC: Does someone want to be the nation that had its freighter attacked by rebels in Tuso Mara national waters. You can either have a foreign or Tuso Mara crew on it, or you just have to say that you take responsibility for the ship and I will roleplay it sinking or about its crew.

The helicopter pilot radioed a message back to the control tower and turned on the rotar and tail rotar to get up speed. He then talked to his co-pilot as they were going to be the lead helicopter entering into Tuso Mara territory however young 17 year old Mikey Daniels could not hear a word the two were saying to each other. Mikey had just completed field training to become a reservist in the Dutevustan military as it was the only field that advancement could occur quickly and it was the most well-paying job, only to find that his small unit based out of a small communit of 550 people was going to a small troubled nation called Tuso Mara to fight Communists.

Mikey was extremely happy to be going to a foreign nation and fighting communists however he was nervous about going as well since reports indicated that bouts of violence had killed nearly 150 people in only four days. Sitting back in his chair with his M-16 between his legs Mikey received a small clap on the shoulder by Sgt. Andre Clinko who was the squad leader and medic of their small eight man unit. Smiling Mikey acknowledged him and let out another breath of air as he felt the ground life below him and in several seconds he could see they were not on the ground anymore.

Colonel Dwapu looked out of the helicopter to the Anmar military base and knew that as the commander of this mission he had to complete it correctly for the glory of his nation. If he came back a failure then he would loose his job be court-martialled and maybe executed.

OOC: I can't do much indepth RPing at the moment, though I would be happy to let a freight carrying trade goods between our nations be attacked, though as I said I can't really RP much about the attack itself, so I don't know if that is a problem. It can have a command of my nations men, but your crew can on it. Though if you want someone who is willing to be more involved in the whole thing, thats fine.

To: Tuso Mara

An uprising has ripped through your country, and that is no surprise to us. If you treat your ethnic minorities in that way, they are bound to see it as unfair and some extremists, although we don't approve of it, may see violence as the only way to grab the attention of a government that ignores them.

That said, we condemn all actions and if needed we will provide you with a task force of heavily armed Police (around 600-800 men) to keep riots to a minimum. You may place them under your control, as they will be far more trained and covert (for special ops.) than normal military/police you are using.

About twelve gunmen opened up the front door of the local police station in a small Tuso Mara village nearly 45 miles north of the capital and the dozen gunmen exchanged gunfire with several police officers which resulted in the deaths of 3 police officers and 2 gunmen and resulted in the capture of the village and 6 police officers being captured.

The lead helicopter flew over the Tuso Mara border followed by three other helicopters carrying forty people per helicopter. They headed to the capital of Tuso Mara at a height of five thousand feet from the ground and after about two hours they began their descent into the capital city of Tuso Mara where small flames were rising from several buildings and they quickly landed at the international airport.

Immediately disembarking from the helicopter advance teams set up a perimeter and a command tent where Colonel Dwapu and others would assemble to plan more actions.
