The Second Vetakan City of Helgan has today been plunged into crisis amid intense Rioting resulting from a Nationalist Rally in a predominatly Communist City. Reports are sketchy at this hour but we understand that the Riots broke out when the Communists attacked the Nationalists within the Centre of the city.

Reports are still unconfirmed from within Helgan but we understand the Vetakan Police are out numbered and are unable to Communicate with the outside world after the Communications were attacked during the Riots. What we can confirm is that the 1st and 6th Vetakan Armies have surrounded and is proceeding to enter the city of Helgan.

Their have been similar protests by Nationalists on a small scale throughout the Vetakan Nation and Across All Islands. At this time none of these other Protests have turned Violent but we understand that the Police Across the nation have been Authorized to use Lethal Force to control Rioting Crowds.

We can confirm that President Wright whom was recently re elected has called an Emergnacy Cabinet Meeting and Re called the Senate from its Easter Break to discuss the situation. Political Commentors agree that somthing must be done in order to stop Vetaka sliding back into its Civil War times.

Nationalist Leader Micheal Andrew Parker whom was present at the Helgan Rally is reported to of encouraged the Crowd to Riot an allegation he has since denied. Mr Parker has begun actively and publically to call for President Wright to dissolve the current Election and have yet another Election. Mr Parker has also called upon the International Community to intervene to ensure the safety of the General Vetakan Population.

President Wright has yet to make a comment but has called for Calm and has also announced that any intervention in Vetakan Politics by the International Community would be against International Laws.

In the wake of Crimmond's departure from Gholgoth, the halls of the Capitol Building were filled with discussions as to whether the Charr would remain part of that illustrious alliance any longer. The seemingly failed anti-slavery wars, which in the eyes of the Charr had become a political vendetta rather than a serious attempt to restore honour to the world, had only made these discussions louder and ever more persistent. Combined with their usual internal issues this was not an easy time to be a Clan Leader in Tyria.

Indeed, during the daily Clan Leader meetings, the only word on anybody's tusks seemed to be 'Gholgoth'. The Council of Clans had become completely introverted as of late, ignoring the rest of the outside world and dealing exclusively with this hot topic. And as the Council was split evenly on the issue, with Bonfaaz Burntfur, their leader and the one responsible for entering them into Gholgoth in the first place, having significant difficulty coming down from the fence, there did not appear to be any resolution to this argument in sight. Matters of national importance were being neglected as this never-ending argument continued, and already several Clan Leaders were at risk of facing an election over the issue.

Today, however, one issue did crop up at the meeting which was of a different matter entirely. For many of the Clan Leaders it was a welcome change to the normal direction of the discussions, even if it was in relation to an outsider nation. It was Klarr Viletooth who raised the issue, literally cutting another Clan Leader short in the midst of yet another Gholgoth rant. As leader of the second-largest clan in Tyria, he generally had no trouble getting attention.

"Charr, hear me," Viletooth rather abruptly sliced into the middle of Burr Mankiller's latest rant with his bellowing voice. "While this is all very fascinating, again, I have recently been made aware of a development which we may be interested in."

Charr sitting all around the large, round, splintered wooden table immediately looked over to him, including Mankiller who shot him a rather unpleasant glare.

"Finally..." Burntfur mumbled. "What news have you?"

"Vetaka, a baldy nation with whom we have no relationship, is presently suffering from some kind of civil disturbance that they are seemingly ill equipped to deal with," Viletooth said.

"We don't care!" Mankiller growled.

"Vetaka was amongst the foremost of the baldy nations which have attempted to establish a peaceful resolution to the slavery problem, specifically the Theeb Accords," Viletooth explained. "Do you remember the slavery problem, the one which started off all this Gholgoth nonsense in the first place? That's right. We did not sign this treaty as we thought its deliberate inaction would achieve nothing, and instead chose to side with Dreadfire's 'ambitious' plan. The irony is as delicious as fresh Devourer meat, is it not?"

"How many times do I..." Mankiller began, only to be interrupted once again.

"Let us not dwell on how wrong you have been, Burr," Viletooth said. "I propose that we offer assistance to this baldy nation in dealing with their problem. Their government is being challenged by those using most dishonourable tactics, and none can stand for such behaviour."

"Why?" was a resounding answer to his proposal.

"They have demonstrated honour in making an effort to stem slavery," Viletooth said in a matter-of-fact way. "Surely they did not pledge to sacrifice the lives of their warriors in the attempt, but we all know that baldies have an unusual way of thinking. The cost to us would be minimal, as a single small warband could easily deal with a bunch of rioting humans. But what better way to establish honourable relations?"

The Clan Leaders around the table began talking amongst themselves for a while, considering his words.

"Let me phrase it another way," Viletooth said. "Our warriors thought they would finally be quelling dishonour in this anti-slavery campaign of Dreadfire's, which we all know has amounted to nothing. The next civil war is not for another six months, and morale is low. Truly we shall not be pledging twelve entire warbands to this endeavour, but at least we shall give them the impression that they are upholding the values of honour somewhere. This alone is worthy of the effort, for sure?"

A few nods around the table resulted, and Viletooth looked over to Burntfur.

"Very well. Those warriors who pledge their agreement to this proposal, signal it is so," Burntfur roared. Five of the Clan Leaders bellowed a roar and slammed their clawed fists down onto the table, shaking it violently. Burntfur's fist was among them, as was Viletooth's.

"All those who do not support the honourable Viletooth's proposal, make yourselves heard," Burntfur roared again. Only one fist, one roar, signalled in opposition, Burr Mankiller. Only Drub Gorefang abstained, having no interest either way as per usual.

"Then it is so," Burntfur said quietly. "Klarr, I shall give Clan Zukatha full autonomy on this issue. You may speak for the Council, and you may call upon the agreeable Clan Leaders for assistance if you wish. Honour and glory to you and your clan, Klarr."

"My thanks to you and your clan, Burntfur," Viletooth nodded.

"Now, who has other business?" Burntfur asked.



Little under half an hour later the meeting was over, and Viletooth headed to his temporary office in the Capitol Building. He preferred to work from his homeland, but could only do so for half of the week thanks to these damnable Council meetings. Unlike many of the Clan Leaders, who had decorated their rustic wooden offices with various personal artefacts of significance such as family tapestries, or the fur squares of fallen pack members, Viletooth's office was comparatively sparse. He kept his personal affects at his own office back home. He did not want to feel too comfortable here.

He sat down at his untreated and seemingly ancient wooden desk, and surprisingly began to use a computer that was built directly into the surface as though it had always been there. Even the computer looked ancient, as did everything in Tyria, though it was perfectly modern. He tapped on the keyboard, which was large and consisted of hundreds of Charrian pictographs, and began to type out a letter. Having never spoken on a national level before, and hating politicians as much as the next Charr, it was typically blunt and short.

We have heard of your problem, President Wright, and know your nation to be honourable. You have been challenged, but your challenger has no honour and we cannot stand for such callous behaviour. The Charr pledge the support of a warband to help you dissolve this civil disturbance, to be mobilised and deployed at your command.

This is Preator Artanis, High Consular of the Armed Republic of the Toori. Might I render assistance?

Garden Park, Theeb, Vetaka:

The vast crowd of some 6,000 Nationalists had gathered in the Garden Park of the Vetakan Capital in less than an hour. The Vetakan Police Force had responded immediatly to stop a repeat of Helgan. They had secured the Perimeter and where waiting for Police and Army Reinforcements to arrive before they moved to stop any rioting breaking out. Suddenly out of no where the Nationalist Leader had appeared on a mock stage and began to speak through a mega phone. A VNN (Vetakan News Network) had also appeared and were filiming Micheal Andrew Parker. This speech was a Nexus Point in Vetakan History it was about to start a series of events that would have reprocussions around the world:

"My People of Vetaka. For to long has this nation suffered at the hands of the Freedom Party. For to long have our Troops our sons and daughters be used to help people in other nations when they should be here in Vetaka Defending us from the enemy that grows within. The Red Menace that grows and threatens our way of life. I respect President Wright but she is obviously too weak to lead Vetaka. As such I call upon you to rise up. I rise and let us together throw off the shackles of Oppression and lead Vetaka to glory that it deserves. Rise up my people. Democracy has failed this nation. Elections have failed us now is the time for the Pistol and Rifle to do the talking. Let us start by taking this Park."

The Crowd screamed encouragement while waving Flags madly. Parkers face had taken on an expression of extremism:

"Charge my people. Charge remove the oppressionsts of the Vetakan Police"

The crowd broke into a wave of applause as the trouble makers and extremists charged towards the out numbered police. Some drew Weapons and Petrol Bombs. The Outnumbed Police held the line but they where outnumbed by some 10 to 1. The Water Cannons fired at Full Pressure but the Crowd just kept coming stampeding on their fallen brothers. The Politcal Unrest in Vetaka had just broken down into a Full Scale Rebellion.

Official Statement from the Honako Commission

Honako completely supports Vetaka and President Wright in her fight against the terrible nationalists, and will offer military assistance if needed. We at the very least wish to provide ships carrying aid and peacekeeping troops to the places that have been affected by this uprising. Please respond if you require help.

The Federation of Dragonicale will send assistance if needed. 2,000 peacetroopers and 300 cargo planes are ready to help.

"You know what this means, honey..." Newly-returned Deputy General Secretary Christine Friedrich's words to her husband required no further explanation. The news broadcast on the General Secretariat Residence's large flat-panel TV provided all that was necessary in that regard.
"Indeed." I wouldn't be surprised if Emperor Nicholas Sawatsky is behind this himself, thought General Secretary Carolinus Horridus. The arrest by Wagdoggie Marines of known Vetakan war-criminal Katrina Harris in the company of a Nicksyllvanian intelligence agent, who'd been killed in the resulting firefight while trying to shoot down the Marines' chopper with a portable SAM, had clearly indicated the Imperial Empire of Greater New Nicksyllania's interest in destabilizing Vetaka. But I can't overplay that hand, no. Best this stay as civil a war as possible... An irony, that usage; for civil wars were usually the most savage of all as Horridus had learned intimately during his own time at the barricades. "I'll ask what must be sent, and then order it sent myself. Our boys in Nicksyllvania won't last ten minutes without the Vetakan fleet backing them up. The invasion will just have to do with one fewer Field Army if it comes to that." And so the message went out from Horridus' own teletype...

Dear Rt. Hon. President Roxanne Wright,
Now, alas, have you seen the quality of your Opposition. Supposedly loyal, as we gave them the benefit of the doubt after your re-election and the Nationalists' entry into Government; now proven treacherous and false. What aid do you need against this undemocratic chicanery, Ma'am? It shall be provided without question, even taking priority over campaigns in Nicksyllvania or Zanski if it must; for we too have sworn our own oath of loyalty unto Vetaka. And like Vetaka has held unto us, so shall we unto you. My wife has spoken glowingly to me of your Presidency, and I say that the Vetakan People's will shall stand against those deluded few seeking to cheat it.
Fondest Regards and hopes for Your Safety,
Carolinus Horridus
Party Secretary, Wagdoggie Revolutionary Party
General Secretary, United Socialist States of Wagdog

OOC: Of course we would play both sides, was there any question of it?

Secret
Newly commisioned Field Marshall Manfried King was sitting quietly in his office when one of his aides decided to barge in with some distrubingly peaceful news. "Sir!" The aide stated in a French accent, "There's a Nationalist uprising in Veteka! What sh-"

F.M. King cut him off, he knew what his nation wanted done, "Get our Mi-8 fleet and get ready to transport several thousand Stinger systems and our hundred thousand old AK-74s." He waved the aide away, he knew that later something else was bound to interrupt him, so he planned on getting all the damned sleep he could.

The aide rushed down the office, yelling to men to mobolize this transport wing and that transport wing. Men were assigned ships as the aide passed, attempting to find the UWSO (Used Weapons Storage Officer) and get the needed supplies on the Mi-8 fleet.

Withen several minutes the aide had found his target, UWSO, Red Jost. "You!" The aide yelled to the officer, this was merely justified by one rank difference between them. "The Marshall wants you to get a hundred thousand AK-47s and a few thousand Stinger systems on the Mi-8 fleet that is getting ready to fly. Understand?" He tone was commanding, this was drivin by his need to please everyone, or atleast the ones above him.

The UWSO was angered by the bellow the aide had let out at him. The only sign of confirmation he allowed the aide, who was clearly embroiled in other matters. He then waved good-bye as the aide turned around and made a sly remark, "Good, bye Major Moses." A danger thing, to state an officer's first name.

Moses didn't reply, but quickly exited the large storage room and went off to complete his duties...

Official Letter to Vetekan Goverment

We, the nation of Terre Nationale, request permission to have two hundred Mi-8's pass threw your air space to reach a vital military outpost that is located two hundred kilometers past your nation. This supplies are vital, we repeat vital, if the outpost is not given them there is a probality of death in many forms. Sickness, starvation, or even lead. Please do your nation a great favour by allowing us to fly over your airspace.

Vetakan Presidential Palace, Theeb:

President Wright and her Cabinet where by now locked in heated Debate within Secure Rooms at the Palace when VDF Supreme Operational Commander Stone burst into the room in Full Battle Gear flanked by a number of heavily armed guards:

"Im sorry for the interuption Roxanne but I think you need to see this."

Stone tapped a nearby Laptop and the HD Screen on the wall burst into life, Showing the intial scenes of the Riot in the Park and the Various Rioting on the streets. Stone began again:

"Madam President I recommend we go to Defcon 1 immediatly and declare Marshall Law. The situation is critical. The Capital is up in Flames. Reports suggest that riots are breaking out across the nation. It seems Mr Parker is only making the situation far worse. The 1st Army is deployed across Vetaka our top priority on the International Scene is to maintain the Wagdog Defence, The situation does not warrant us yet to re-call our forces in Zanksi and Wagdog we could do with re-calling the Strator Force, The Northen Ireland Force and the Hamilay Fleet. One bit of good news is that we are are getting offers of help from around the world."

President Wright took a sip of her water and turned to look at the Portrait of the Previous President Daniel Pearce the Vetakan Hero and the man whom had taught Roxanne everything she knew. This would never of happened if he was still alive:

"I will not abandon Wagdog or Honako. Recall our forces from Strator, Northen Ireland and Hamilay. The 1st Battlegroup is to deploy and secure all the major. Request Clearence from the UFAN High Council to deploy the 4th Battlegroup in support out of Helgan Naval Base. Scarlet make it clear to the International Community that their support is tremedously respected but peacekeeprs will not be required. This is a Vetakan Domestic Issue and I Vetaka will deal with it internally. Stone before you ask No I will not be leaving the Capital. Commander Barrett where is Parker now?"

"We have no idea Madam President I am doing all I can to locate him" replied Commander Barrett head of Vetakan Intel.

"Parker is to be arrested on site. He is now as far as I am concerend an Enemy of this State." replied President Wright.

OOC: ORBAT for my contingency mobilization in this coming in an edit as OOC2.

"Well, honey," General Secretary Horridus chirped to his wife over the secure phone from the Palace's bunker annex many hundreds of meters below. "Vetaka's being its usual stubborn self in these matters. Recommendations?" Horridus didn't like the situation, but already suspected what Christine would say taking his brief experience with former President Daniel Gary Pearce into account.
"Nothing to do baby." The rebuke to her combined political and sexual partner was appropriately gentle, but it was there nonetheless. "This is Vetaka's way, and that's all there is to it. Best we can do is make general preparations and send the troops where we must. Hopefully the recalls from those other places will work, or at least buy some time before the big guns weigh in on the Nationalists' side and we have to move."
"Agreed." And so, returning to his command facilities, Wagdog's general secretary drafted orders finishing the mobilization of all seven of Wagdog's raised Field Armies, their co-located Air Forces to form Army Groups with in the field, and the thirteen garrisoned Red Guards Corps for home defense. Of the Army Groups available for mobile operations once all Field Armies and Air Forces had paired up, one (Seventh) was already en route to Zanski; needing only capture of a commercial airport by Northern Baltic forces for the heavy equipment to arrive and the counteroffensive against Nicksyllvanian forces in Zanski to begin. 'Orders and counterorders only lead to disorder', as the old military saying goes; and I have no intention of violating this. Any aid to Vetaka shall have to rely on forces other than Seventh Army Group...
Five Army Groups, four at minimum had to be ready for the campaign in New Nicksyllvania; a planned landing against the Takami Islands and Nickon before a headlong armored drive straight at the enemy capital of Nickograd. Even if we proceed cautiously, can that really be made an economy-of-force mission? Horridus thought, and then decided, indulging his bad habit of thinking aloud often.
"Maybe it can be an economy-of-force op despite its size; as Master Sun said, 'On Trafficked Ground, join hands with your allies'. We're taking things slower with the Takami Islands since as-is we suspect a naval trap brewing, even if no more than that. We can't afford to get careless there, even if my country at least still has the garrisoned reserves to survive a worst-case loss in Nicksyllvania. Keeping the First Army Group here in the capital on alert for deployment to Vetaka should Roxanne ever (unlikely) change her mind; plus the Sixth in Red Stanleya that really isn't doing much with our southern waters under Catalasian neutrals' protection as well, forming a general strategic reserve for either Vetakan or Nicksyllvanian deployment as needed, seems like a good idea to me." He then returned to silent thought as he drafted the relevant mobilization orders.

Official Statement from Honako Commission

We accept your decision to not allow peace troops in, and we do feel as if currently you are very capable of handling the situation. We also appreciate you have kept your forces within our nation as they are greatly needed.

If a serious conflict does arise in the future and you need help we will assist you.

Nationalist General Party Office, Theeb, Vetaka:

After reading the "untraceable message" he smiled he knew just the person to carry out the rallying cry. But first that would wait all this Politics had got Parker Stressed. He reclined in his leather chair before pushing the Intercom button and calling in his "Secretary". Until 2 weeks ago his Secretary had been a High Flyer at Vetakan Foreign Affairs but had taken the job as the Nationalist Leaders PA because it was yet another boost to her Career. She was Miss Stephanie Jones. She was about 5ft8 in height had brown shoulder length hair and brown eyes. She wore like usual very sudcutive clothing in this case a very short tight leather Skirt and a very revealing top. She had taken the Job because Parker had promised the world and as long as she was willing to work for it and well Miss Jones was willing to do anything as a result although Parker was married he couldn't resist the temptation as on their first day of working together Parker and Jones's relationship became Sexual.

She entered the room and Parker took her in his arms and kissed her it wasn't long before he had been suitably relieved of his Stress. When he was finished he pulled up his trousers and returned to buisness dialling a number and contacting his Vice Leader Micheal Macue:

"Micheal my dear Friend how is the delights of Helgan?"

"Terrible Sir. The Police and Army are Brutal. What can I do for you?" replied Macue

"We need to turn up the Pressure we need to get a Vote of No Confidence. I want you to start this from the horror of War Torn Helgan. Have the men seize the TV Studio and Broadcast Live Across Vetaka. Cut the Broadcast Midway through for abit of Drama is that understood?" asked Parker

"Indeed it Is Good Bye" replied a respectful Macue.


OOC: No Peacekeepers at this time.

Foreign Minister Sarah Lynch would like to seel premission to travel to Vetaka to quell the violence raging on there.

Helgan City, Nationalist Held Stronghold:

The Vetakan Helgan Police Force were armed with Military grade weapons and now had the support of the Mainstream Vetakan Military but still the combined Military Force was Stretched. The Problem was simple the nationalists and communists because of Vetaka's lax gun laws had M4 Assualt Rifles and Stinger Missiles. If the political radicals weren't fighting the Police and Army they where fighting eachother. Now things where about to hot up once again.

A Black Pick Up Truck sped round the corner shortly followed by 2 Police Cars the Police opened fire aiming for the Trucks tyres but they where about to get a surprise. One man in the truck pulled out an RPG Launcher and fired it hit one of pursuing cars forcing it to crash into the other blowing them both up. Eventually the truck came to a halt outside the office of EBG Broadcasting. It looked deserted but the Nationalists burst through the grand doors guns at the ready. The ran up the stairs and eventually into the studio. Their they began readying everything a women tapped buttons in the gallery and eventually overid the Broadcast Signal she put her thumb up and Nationalist Radical began:

"People of Vetaka I am Micheal Macue of the Nationalists and I broadcast illegally live from inside Hell. I come to you from Helgan Itself. This city is a shadow of its former self a city torn apart by the Communists and spat on by the Military. Look.........."

(A home made video of the heartache is played and the view turns from Micheal to show the Fighting and Rioting of Helgan. The video has been rigged to show the Communists and the Military fighting and the Nationalists putting fires out and evacuating people.)


"........ If we do not join together then this nation will decsend into total anarchy. The Communists swarm around killing and raping the Military try but are incapable due to lack of support and leadership from the Leading Government. The Freedom Party have no control over this nation. As such I call for no I DEMAND an immediate Vote of no Confidence in President Wrights Government and immediate relection.........."

The Screen suddenly goes Black not because the Militray had pulled the plug but because Micheal himself had ended the transmission causing yet more Drama. It had been perfect for right across Vetaka people were angry.

The satelite feed through Huyts office was replayed over and over. Though he was currently trying to bring the nation under his complete control, his Londimium spirit shone through.

"They show our brothers and sisters as war mongering animals. ANIMALS! These Nationalists shall not gain power. Presidentr Wright is one of the few I respect and if she and her nation are in trouble then these nationalsists shall die.



To President Wright,

This is my fist communcation in person to you though our nations have a relationship of sorts. I am willing to help you crush these nationalists. Do not let them win or all hope for your nation will be lost.

The Communist State of Londim

Yet another General Resources Cargo Ship, the GRS Eccentric Orbit, loaded with cooking supplies headed toward Vetaka. Its paperwork checked out, its delivery people honest, and by all means it was a perfectly normal trade ship.

But deep in the bowels of the engine room, a mechanic had hidden several sheets of blotter paper for LSD, along with a disassembled PTRD, 14.5mm Sniper Rifle, its scope, and several rounds of match grade ammunition.

They were to meet up with a VNP agent who would offload this along with the other supplies. A message was sent ahead.

Encrypted Transmission to the VNP

Parcel arranged. Get your men to the docks, we have a present.

Find some kid to pervert, these Freedom Party types seem like they would lead a counterprotest in safer areas.

[END]

The first broadcast reached a Major Dynamics satellite incidently over Vetaka. An advanced trojan on its operating system had it divert a transmission to Xilanhot Mountain's 'decommissioned' satellite dish. The Mafia got the video, saw how it was made and cheered. It was perfect for their plans.

It was quickly sent to the Leafanistani Press, especially the right-wing warhawk segments. It was quickly reaired. Soon it was on every major 'breaking news' screen in Leafanistan, and the internet was now carrying it. The momentum of a thousand stupid communist bloggers would carry it to international attention far faster than any transmission.

Vetakan Presidential Palace, Theeb:

President Wright had spent most of her time now locked in her Office thinking her Personal Guards outside could hear her talking. She wasn't on the phone she was talking to the Massive Portrait of Previous Vetakan President and the Famous Hero Daniel Pearce. It was only then that Supreme Commander Stone entered looking rather starled:

"Roxanne the sodding Nationalists have made an Illgeal Broadcast from inside Helgan".

He picked up a remote and flicked on the TV to show the broadcast again:

"This could work in our Favour. Call the Vote of No Confidence in the Senate immediatly. On the outcome of this we will hunt them down and remove them. Mr Parker is nothing but a Scumbag."


8 Hours Later..................................

Vetakan Senate, Halls of Democracy:

The various members of the Senate had arrived from far across Vetaka for this vote possibly the most crucial Vote in Vetakan History. They argued and spat at each across the Hall the Chair of the House tried in vein to get order but to no luck:

"SILENCE Ssilence............"

No Luck the Communists and Nationalists just argued. It was only then that President Wright and Her Cabinet entered flanked by Armed White Phoenix Warriors the arguing Senate didn't notice. The Freedom Party took their seats and President Wright took the stand:

"SILENCE that is enough."

This was why she had been elected as President. Her auroa had changed from the Quiet Reluctant Backbencher to the Leader and Saviour of her People she Commanded respect the Hall fell quiet and she began:

"I request permission from the Chair to speak before we begin the Vote."

"Permission Granted" replied the Stunned Chairman

President Wright gazed across the Hall into the eyes of the members before turning to the Camera the view of the Cradle of Vetakan Democracy was now being beamed live across Vetaka and it would be safe to say across the world:

"Ladies and Gentleman today is a Grave Day for us a all. In just a few minutes time the Leaders of the Dominion of Vetaka go to the polls to Vote on the Confidence of my Government. Yet it is the very people whom have called this vote that cause the Problems and Riots on our Streets. After much soul searching it would be wrong of me to name names and point fingers but we all know whom I refer to.

All I know is that the Fate of Vetaka will be decided by the 300 or people in this Hall Today. I am Confident if ratified by this Senate and by my Nation. I promise on my Oath as President that I will deal with these problems. I will ensure that the guilty whom instigated this Rebellion are brought to Justice. Vetaka will not be enslaved we will not be dishonoured by this rebellion. Freedom. I will not allow this nation be destroyed I will now allow the work the Freedom Party and President Pearce be in Vein. If Pearce was still alive what would he do? I tell you what he would do. He would be personally fighting and calming this situation. I intend to do the same as such I call upon everybody in this Hall to do what is right not for ourselves but this Nation. For the Democratic and Free Dominion of Vetaka."

This speech was certainly rousing as the Nationalist Leader looked rather worried:

"By Order of this Senate we hearby go to Vote. This Vote is Senate Vote 1234 and is entitled The Vote of Confidence of President Roxanne Wright. Vote as you will. May Vetaka be Free" spoke a very worried Senate Leader.

The various members of the Senate rose to their feet and walked to their relavant door. In just a few minutes Vetaka's history could change forever...............

Meanwhile...........................

Theeb Harbour, Theeb, Vetaka:

As yet another Cargo Ship entered because of the current Security Crisis Ships where failing to go through the Proper Security Checks as such the VNP Agent calming walked up the Gang Plank of the "GRS Eccentric Orbit" disguised as the Harbour Masters Staff he found the Captain and began:

"Good Afternoon. I am here to Check the Ship matches Security Requirements. I know im not the Vetakan Maritime Police but what with the current Crisis I am authorized to do the Check is that understood?"

OOC: Basically means your free to get anything off the ship with no problems.

Theeb Harbour, Theeb, Vetaka:

As yet another Cargo Ship entered because of the current Security Crisis Ships where failing to go through the Proper Security Checks as such the VNP Agent calming walked up the Gang Plank of the "GRS Eccentric Orbit" disguised as the Harbour Masters Staff he found the Captain and began:

"Good Afternoon. I am here to Check the Ship matches Security Requirements. I know im not the Vetakan Maritime Police but what with the current Crisis I am authorized to do the Check is that understood?"

OOC: Basically means your free to get anything off the ship with no problems.

The Captain smiled and signed the papers. He then slapped the man on the back as he headed off with most the crew to a local bar to find fast women, and hard drink. As they all walked past the officer, the mechanic handed him the plans for the ship and the registry.

"Here are what you need..."

The mechanic winked and walked off. On the map was Post-It note meant for page saving over the 3rd Boiler that read, "Look down."

Underneath the 3rd Boiler, the papers, the 'pipe', and the ammunition hidden inside the pipe. The same Post-It note was on them.

GRS Eccentric Orbit, Theeb Harbour, Vetaka:

"Thanks" replied the Agent

The Ship lay virtually empty as such the Agent cooly made his way to the Engine Room of the Ship. As he went nobody noticed him he could of planted anything but that didnt matter as he entered the Engine Room he walked along and eventually came a halt he looked around the Engine Room was silent and deserted the Agent bent down and looked under the Boiler. Their just as arranged was the Package. The Agent smiled reached in grabbed it and left walking back the way he came off the ship and to his car where he put the Package into the trunk. Making sure to cover his tracks he signed the security clearence form and then handed it into the Harbour Master. Nobody battered an eyelid and why would they. The City around them was awash with Riots and Protesters as the Agent Drove away he sent a quick text message to his superiors:

"Package Retrived. Total Success. Begin Stage 2"

Vetakan Senate, Halls of Democracy:

It had been 20 Minutes since the voting had finished and the counting and verification had begun. President Wright was nervous the fate of The Dominion of Vetaka now lay in the hands of 300 People. Little did anybody know for the first time in Vetakan History the Senate would be split and Vetaka would not only suffer further agnoy. Vetaka would suffer a Constitutional Crisis. The Supreme Senate Chairman Henry Jebb stood and silence fell:

"Senators in a situation this house has not seen before it is my duty to inform you that the results of Senate Vote 1234 The Vote of Confidence of President Roxanne Wright the results stand as follows 150 Vote No Confidence of the President. 150 Vote Confidence in the President. As such we are in crisis under the Constitution this vote will be re taken in 24 Hours should we see the same Vote then this Senate under Article 27 Amendment 9 of the Vetakan Constitution will be dissolved pending Election. As such this Senate is suspended until 12 O'Clock tomorrow."

For the first time the Senate and much of the Nation was silent they all knew it would be close and that Vetaka was split but nobody new that the nation was split 50/50. The Dominion of Vetaka was now in a Constitutional Crisis the vote would take place again if it yeilded the same results Vetaka would most certainly decsend into Madness.

Vetakan News Studio:

As the Picture focused back on the Newsreader he like much of the nation was shocked nobody had seen this coming eventually he began:

Ahem......

"Ladies and Gentleman if you are just joining us welcome you join us live in the Aftermath of the Crucial Senate Vote into the Confidence of President Wrights Government. The results of which have surprised us all. The vote has gone like this a total split. 150 have voted against the President and 150 have voted supporting her. The Senate has been suspended pending a re-vote tomrrow at 12:00. Ladies and Gentleman this has not happened before and I won't lie these are Dark Times."


OOC: Split Vote. Every member of the senate counts should one person on either side die it will tip the scale.

OOC: Wow I can post. Has anybody else had trouble with Jolt? Eating Posts?

1 Hour Prior to Re-Vote:

The Nationalist Party Headquarters lay just 10 Miles across the city from the Vetakan Senate but what with the recent Security Situation the Vetakan Defence Force and more importantly the Vetakan Security and Intelligence Service had decided to ensure safety the Nationalist Leadership would be taken from their Headquarters to the Senate via Helicopter. In total 7 High Ranking Nationalist Senators including their Leader Mr Parker would be making the journey little did they know that a highly organised plan was coming together around them and in fact Mr Parker and 6 of his fanatical followers would make a wrong turning and miss the Vote.

This plan officially did not exsist unofficially it was been carried out by rogue elements of the Vetakan Intel and the Vetakan Special Forces loyal to President Wright and fearing the fall of the Freedom Party. The Black VIP KC-135 Eurocopter landed on the Helipad and the Nationalist Extremists boarded laughing and joking once they where all boarded the Helicopter took off once in the air the Pilot whom was in fact a VSIS agent pressed a button locking the doors and windows closed and then pressed another button which released an invisible sleeping gas in took just 10 seconds for all 7 men to fell asleep. The Pilot looked over his shoulder and smiled before radioing on a secured channel:

"Phase 1 Complete. All Babies Asleep. Moving to the Cot."

The Helicopter turned sharply banking left it sped over the city and out to the centre of a very isolated natural bay. It then began to decsend to anybody whom was looking the chopper just vanished in reality it landed on a DMG Built Empire Class Aircraft Carrier that was using Adaptive Camoflage. Once landed 7 medics rushed into the Chopper checking the Vitals of the men all fine. It was perfect now all they would do now is wait an hour take off again wake them up fly to the Senate and it would be simple the Nationalists would of lost the vote because their Leadership had failed to turn up.

Vetakan Senate, Halls of Democracy:

The Atmosphere in the Senate was tense. The outcome of this very vote would mean the history and future of Vetaka. The Clocktower struck midday and the great bell rang out. As the Senators took their seats it became clear the Nationalist Leadership was not here. The Supreme Senate Chairman Henry Jebb stood and silence fell across the halls:

"Senators in relation to Senate 1234 the Vote of Confidence in President Roxanne Wright we are gathered here to take a re-vote on the issue is the President Ready?"

"I am" replied a very Stern President Wright

"Is the Leader of the Opposition Ready?" asked Jebb

"No Sir as he is not here" replied the Nationalist Deputy.

"If Mr Parker is not bothered to show up to this Vote then that his problem. The Legally Elected Vetakan Government has been dragged through proceedings long enough I have a county to run. This is not fair on the People. I demand we vote as planned" a very angry President Wright shouted.

"But Butt....." began a now panicing Nationalist.

"Silence we vote as planned. Senators By Order of this Senate we hearby go to Vote. This Vote is Senate re vote 1234 and is entitled The Vote of Confidence of President Roxanne Wright. Vote as you will. May Vetaka be Free"

The various Senators stood and walked to the various door voting to decide their future.

10 Minutes Later.............

The Senators where now re-sitted awaiting the result the eyes of Vetaka were fixed on Senate Leader Jebb he rose and began:

"Seantors the result is as follows 100 Vote No Confidence. 193 Vote Confidence and 7 No Vote. This Senate Votes Confidence into President Wright this issue by this Constitution will not return to Vote for a period of 12 Months. Thank You this Senate is Suspended pending the ending of Easter. Thank You."

Vetaka's future was secure the Nationalists had lost and the Freedom Party moved to strike at the Nationalists closing down their Offices and issuing Arrest Warrants for various Nationalist Leaders whom it was clear had launched the Riots. Vetaka was safe for now.

SIC:
Office of First Citizen, Drasgard

Two men that were in room standed very high at Olmedrecan power hierarchy. Ernst Tormilind, Head of Military Intelligence started talking:
"Well President Wright won vote of confidence. Number of votes is irrelevant but there is one really interesting fact about vote. All nationalist leadership failed to show up, although they should had been transported to Senate by Vetakan army, even more interesting, our agents saw how they went on helicopter, but satellite images suggest that helicopter didn't went to Senate, but to something, that we believe is some kind of camoulfaged building or ship, we are not sure what exactly."
He was talking to Vesse Põhjakotkas, First Citizen of Olmedreca who answered:
"Very interesting, I believe President Wright seriously miscalculated and it may cost to her her position, and maybe even head. Its obvious that then this conspiracy leaks out, storm that rises is huge compared to those little riots they had previously. President has acted like pure dictator, if that leaks out results may be devasting. Vetakan policy in Hamilay directly confronts our interests in area so, we will make sure that Vetakan press gets all the information, even satellite images can be leaked, of course so that nobody would know who made them."
"I fully agree," answered Tormilind and continued:
"It is really good that we took Vetaka under serious watch, otherwise we could had missed that operation. Vetakan press probably could realize anyway that it does not smell correctly, if we make sure they see whole story with some really nice images, which of course will be known only as "images given by anonymous pro-democracy officer of unknown foreign country", then hell will break out. I will get to work immediately, I need few hours to make sure that information we are going to leak could not be traced back to Olmedreca, Vetakan news agencys will know full story before midnight."

OOC: I hope that Vetaka is fine with this, if he is not and I did something I shouldn't had been able to do(that spying thing is so hard to measure correctly), then I will edit or delete this post.

Tangalee, Hataria

Grand General Asuka had heard The News of what was happening in Veteka and Knew that The Only way for getting Veteka as a Ally was to in fact, Overthrow The Vetekan Government and Put The Nationalists in to Power. She soon Sent a Secert Message to The Vetekan Nationalist Party Members that Hadn't 'Disappeared'.

SIC: To the Nationalist Party of Veteka.

The Imperial Republic is Sorry to Hear that a Dictator like President Wright Continues to be in Power. Even Though your Leaders are MIA, We will help your Party in Overthrowing The Dictator. We will send you a Shippment of Weapons in a Kraken Class Troop Carrier Submarine to a Place not Patroled by The Vetekan Navy ad Give you The weapons there.

Signed: Grand General Asuka.

OOC @ Vetaka: Yeah, Jolt once ate a major cross-post where I was going to explain to Shalrirorchia that I actually RPed my first deployment to Zanski in full, logistical steps included, but that this was done across three (maybe even four) whole threads. I was off for nearly a whole day, and was wondering if I'd caused enough of a hiccup to be banned or something...
OOC @ Hataria: OK... You do realize that my alliance with Vetaka comes before my Hatarian Confederacy membership thanks to the terms of the UFAN Charter (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=522314), right?:rolleyes: Force a confrontation here, and I'm out just like Vetaka did for me against both Questers' Commonwealth and Clandonia Prime's Sovereign League. Especially seeing as you never made a confirmation reply to me in the first place, and I only recently saw myself edited in there when reviewing the thread OP...
IC:
General Secretariat Residence, Palace of the Revolution; Tailville DR, Wagdog
"See honey, now what did I tell you?" Christine's impishly beautiful face, framed by her wire-frame glasses and ponytailed blonde-brown hair, chided General Secretary Carolinus Horridus as they both listened to the TV News covering the successful Vote of Confidence for President Wright's Freedom Party government by the Vetakan Senate. "Now the offensive in Nicksyllvania won't have to go on an army weaker and we still keep an ally. See the good that just backing off can do when you let it?" The Deputy General Secretary clearly wasn't going to let her man live this down; especially not posing the way she did in that nightgown and casting him those teasing, lecturing stares...
"Maybe." Horridus wanted to say this was the end of the matter, but in any case he had a peculiar feeling the Nationalists weren't going to play fairly yet. "We'll start sending the Armies over once the Lone Alliance or our boys secure whatever airfields are needed in either Sub-Nicksyllvania or the Takami Islands. But I want our First Army, First Air Force and Second Fleet still in reserve for whatever other surprises this damnable situation decides to throw our way." He had one in mind already...
No sooner do we start really winning than somebody starts throwing damned godrods at our allies. The origin of the attack that had sunk the Northern Baltic's battleship Thor II off Zanski was still unknown, but OBSAT and ground-radar surveillance had enabled it to be characterized as what it was: an orbital kinetic-energy weapon strike, a figurative "rod from God" as the attack's proponents liked to claim. I can ignore one of those, maybe; but if who we suspect it is starts sending more down, we'll have to take out the satellites responsible. And who knows where that would end up... He tensed at the thought of just how far indeed Zanski's allies might go to defend their poor choice of allies...
Christine hugged him with one arm as she sat on the large waterbed and moved to turn off the light. She whispered throatily, "Agreed, my love. We'll stay alert, and to that end I'll help you rest first..." She then flipped the switch and plunged the State bedroom into an appropriate darkness, broken only hours later when one woke up to issue the following...

Official USSW Congratulations to Vetakan President Roxanne Wright
As both a political ally and personal friend of Madam Wright, I simply wish to congratulate her on this triumph of democracy in the face of fascist insurrection; woman-to-woman, as well as nation-to-naiton. Although I do not deny the possibility of the Nationalists playing a legitimate role in Vetakan society should they choose to, they must first make that choice and honor it; as so far they seem to have failed to do. I call on all nations abroad, and all Vetakans as well, to respect the results of this vote by the Vetakan Senate and the sovereignty of the Dominion in this matter. Freedom has spoken, everyone; and it is well past time She was listened to.

Sincerely,
Christine Friedrich
Deputy Party Secretary, Wagdoggie Revolutionary Party

Your leaders have failed to check in, they lost the vote of no confidence. Right now it is imperative to find out what has happened. Our security agent said they boarded their helicopter but had not shown up on time.

Attached are a thermal readout showing large mass off the coastline with no visible signature. Most likely this is a DMG built ship. Size indicates a capital ship. Your leaders either have made their escape or something has gone terribly wrong. It is actually a coincidence that an Executive Outcomes Inc. security satellite was passing over the dark side of the earth on thermal. Thank God we own their feed.

Put the plan into action, all your equipment is with your agent. It is time.

[/I] The origin of the attack that had sunk the Northern Baltic's battleship Thor II off Zanski was still unknown, but OBSAT and ground-radar surveillance had enabled it to be characterized as what it was: an orbital kinetic-energy weapon strike, a figurative "rod from God" as the attack's proponents liked to claim.

OOC: To be fair, it is meant to be hard to trace, and works like this:

http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/5087/wepstarar9.png

The main vehicle is a slow, stealthed capsule that fits a single 18" battleship shell. It goes over the target slowly like a shooting star, and when it reaches a certain point, opens up. The capsule opens up and the shell falls, then a small retrorocket alters its trajectory to simulate that of a frictioned parabola like a ship might fire.

It looks like a satellite deorbiting around the time a battleship fired its gun.

Besides, Northern Baltic ordered the strike.

And I meant Vetaka.

OOC Leaf: Indeed my english is not of the standard it should be. Just recently I haven't been able to make posts because Jolt eats them up. So I have started rushing to get them done hence I fuck up. Apologies to all. I hope this one is some what better.

OOC Olmedreca: No its fine go for it. The President never actually authorized it so it would jus be denied.

Vetakan Defence Force Central Command HQ, Theeb, Vetaka:

Although President Wright was over the moon that the Nationalist Leadership had failed to attend the most Senate Vote of its campaign she was smart enough something was strange regarding the whole event. As such she had gone straight to VDFCC from the Senate to investigate and called her Military Command Staff together. Now they were all seated she frowned and began:

"Ok Where did the Nationalists go?. I make this clear I will suspend all of you unless I have answers?"

The various Commanders and Admirals sat in silence. All avoiding the eye of their Supreme Commanding Admiral in Chief:

"Well? sometimes acts of piracy are the honourable course of action but the Freedom Party will always do the moral thing. I will not lower myself to Parkers Level. So I ask again whom did this and more importantly what did you do?"

Vetakan Security and Intelligence Service Commander Ben Barrett began:

"It was me. I acted alone. I had the Chopper carrying the Nationalists divert to the Empire Carrier Tudor. Thier they recieved ammensia drugs and waited until just before the vote. They then carried on their journey. I did it not for the Freedom Party but for my Country. We all know that if the nationalists get into power everything we have worked for will be for nothing. I could not let that happen. Im sorry."

President Wright rounded on Commander:

"Your intentions are honourable even if your actions are rash. You are Suspened Ben for 5 Days. I will take the blame should it be released."

"Thank you Ma'am" replied a now weeping Barrett.

He stood respectfully saluted, left the room and Eventually the building being whisked away to his home and his family. Depending on whom saw his little stunt and whom acted upon the information would mean whether or not Vetaka was safe.

Ernst Tormilind, Head of Olmedrecan Military Intelligence was satisfied, everything was running perfectly. Package "Morte" as Intelligence officers now unofficially called information that could easily create chaos in Vetaka was on its long way. It was going to move through many different countries where Military intelligence had its hand, “tracks on water” as many officers called complicated road that highly secret information like “Morte” had to walk throught to avoid any traceable connections to Olmedreca. It made progress little slower but that would not change anything in this case.

Tormilind's opinion about those Vetakan’s who performed kidnapping of opposition leaders had fell very low, “pathetic amateurs” he thought, “Vetakan press could had possibly figured out themselfly that something really strange happened, now Olmedreca is just going to speed up this process.” Soonly all major Vetakan news agencys and also some foreign ones(although no Olmedrecan ones) received message that was going to interest them all:

President Wright organized kidnapping of High Ranking Nationalist Senators including their Leader Mr. Parker to ensure winning Vote of Confidence. One hour prior to re-vote, Nationalist senators went on helicopter of Vetakan Defence Force to be transported safely to Senate. In reality helicopter went to isolated natural bay where it landed on well camoulflaged building or ship. As you know at the same time President Wright aggressively pressed to start a vote, which he easily won because leadership of opposition had been kidnapped. Democratic traditions have been overrun and Vetaka has silently became dictatorship.

Morte

E-Mail included large number of photos, both those made on land by Olmedrecan agents who had been keeping an eye on Nationalist Headquarters and also those made by satellites. There was also with large number of different times and coordinates about kidnapping details, especially helicopter movements. All these were completely accurate to make sure that information could not be compromised by random mistakes. Officially Vetakan government probably will deny everything, but they have about as much credibility as person next to dead body, with bloody knife in hand, saying he is not murderer. Now general Tormilind just needed to wait, his part was done, storm was going to break out soon.

Vetaka Tonight (News Program):

"Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman welcome to the show im your host Christopher Anderson. We bring you a special report regarding the on going political crisis in Vetaka. New Evidence from undisclosed sources claim that President Roxanne Wright co-ordinated a Vetakan Special Forces operation to ensure that Nationalist Leader Parker and 6 High Ranking Nationalist Senators missed the key Confidence Vote. The Evidence this program has recieved shows that the VDF Helicopter carrying the Nationalists vanished in the very isolated Phillips bay 8 miles north of Theeb.

Ladies and Gentleman what you are seeing now is photographs of the Helicopters movements. As you can it Vanishes from View here. The question is did the Government really launch a Commando Style operation to ensure the vote was secure? Has Democracy been perveted? Are we now living in a very silent dictatorship?"

The TV shut off as President Roxanne Wright turned it off. Her postion was now untenerable Barretts little stunt although trying to help had brought down the Vetakan Government. In order to avoid the riots President Roxanne Wright knew what she had to do. She called an immediate Press Conference:

Vetakan Presidential Palace, Press Room:

Every Journalist in Vetaka after hearing the Vetakan Tonight Program Report had rushed to the Palace on hearing that the Press Conference had been called. The grand doors opened and President Wright swopped in this would be quick:

"Good Evening. Thank you all for coming tonight. I am sure you have all seen the Reports. I as such will not allow Vetakan Democracy be Tarnished Further. As such under my powers as President of this Nation I hearby Suspend the Senate pending Election. The Election will take place as soon as possible until then I will continue to rule. Upon the result of the election I will hand over power to the victor and retire from Politics. Thank You and I will not be answering questions."

The Nationalists had got what they wanted. Yet again the Vetakan People would have to vote to decide their Future.

OOC: To be fair, it is meant to be hard to trace, and works like this:

Besides, Northern Baltic ordered the strike.

And I meant Vetaka.
Thanks for both explanations Leaf.;) I kind of figured on the English, but prudence compelled I ask.
Oh I'm not questioning the OOC-fairness or characterization of your godrod attack, although the explanation is l33t k3wl of course.:D After all, if I did you'd have as much right to call Vetaka and me on our OBSAT system, even though I do try to RP the limits inherent to visual recon (e.g. difficulty with targets under camoflauge, either staying still or moving unpredictably, and several other things) and OBSAT's other capabilities. Such a brouhaha would probably end in us all having to mutually iggy major aspects of our military power, so obviously I'll let your advantages stand to protect the interests of mine.
Now about "Northern Baltic ordered the strike:" is that IC or OOC?:confused: I'm sorry if this seems a n00bish question, but I can't find any reference to them ordering an orbital strike in the Zanski thread. Was this a botched strike or were you referring to NB's attack on the KaNgwane fleet and NB thus technically "bringing it on themselves" as far your godrod attack is concerned?
Whatever the meaning, I'm probably going to intentionally have my intel people keep the identity of the strike's origin closely held, which in any case would look more Rovonian than anything I'd wager; simply put, whatever allies I could possibly gain by outing you (assuming I ever could) as helping Zanski/Nicksyllvania are vastly outnumbered by the hardcore IC-anticommunists who'd jump on this if I called in my unengaged allies for any reason. Hence, my IC national interest involves keeping the so-called "Circum-Zansk War" as small as possible, even if it means taking two nuclear depth charges to my fleet's teeth or letting a godrod strike on an ally go unanswered; I know my alliance (much less country) wouldn't survive the fight becoming a world war otherwise.

OOC: It is an OOC thing reminder, but the strike was ordered IC. There is really no way to know about it. The most you can get from the Leafanistani Government, since it was launched from a colony-based spaceport nearly 15 years ago, that it was probably a 'traitorous plot' probably triggered by accidental firing command that happened to land. Since no one was monitoring an abandoned 'communications' satellite you'll probably never learn what happened.

I want to leave you with something more but to screw with your head, just above 2/3rds of your allies have an alternate agenda in that conflict that involves me in some way. Enjoy looking over your shoulder next time you GASN boys, or whatever do you junk. Especially for Cravan and TWSP. :)
