Through the weeks that followed the Revolution in Ibinius. Lerasia gave little media attention to that event. The news maily relayed Presidents Romescu's actions and achievements. Never had the Lerasian government expected open dissent because of an event across the world that had little media attention back in Lerasia

Omar Omescbe was a regular factory worker. He lived in a run down flat like the rest of the people in his neighbourhood. He was use to the food rationing, dim lighting and frequent powercuts and shortage of some basic goods. He had a wife named Elena and 3 children under the age of 10 that were all at the Young Patriots camp for the next 4 months

Omar did all he could to stay under the radar and just live without trouble but after seeing a short clip of the Ibinius revolution. he thought

this could end Romescu

unlike most of the other Lerasian Omar was a man that thought deeply about everything, he questioned everything, though he didnt speak out publicly. In his head he was a dissident

It began at a regular work day at a Hinge Factory in downtown Kanostas, the oldest city in Lerasia, on the southern coast. Omar and his most trusted friends talked openly about the Ibinius revolution

"Did you see it on TV!? hoe that , massive crowd just marched up that street all chanting anti monarchist chants! there must have been 10,000 at least!"

"we need that to happen here" said Omar

Immediatly the group went silent and looked at Omar in shock, they seemed almost paralyzed with fear. and for good reason. since the 1981 revolution Romescu set up a very violent secrete police that had tenticles and informers all over the country, a rumour had even begun in the late 1990's that Securiforce (the name of the secret police) boasted 1 in every 4 citizens of Lerasia worked for the secret poloce, though this probably wasnt true, just a rumour to keep the people in line.

after a couple of Minutes Omar convinced them that they shouldnt fear the police and if the people united we could do something. Omar asked his friends to work together to stage a strike at the Hinge Factory
for the rest of the day notes were passed amoungst the workers, no one knew who was the acual brains behind the strike but everyone just repeated the same thing

"No ones coming to work tomorrow, the Director of the Factory has called all the workers to just meet at the front gate to improve working conditions"

This was not true However but it was the only thing they clould say for the people to believe him

The next day at 8.00 am the workers gathered at the factory gates, the director of the factory, Milea Popec, a shot, fat man with grey hair and a thick maustache stormed out of the building

"what are you all doing!? get to work!"

"are you going to negociate better pay condition!?" shouted a worker in the group
"
The director was stunned "WHAT! what gives you the right, now get in here or your all fired!"

The crowd groaned and moaned and then began to Boo the director down
"We are the workers! we are the workers! we are the workers!"the mob shouted then the director saw a barrage of rocks thrown at him. Omar then began speaking to the workers in a speech

"we have a right to be hear, this nation is nothing without the workers!...

Other workers then left the group to visit other and factories and lead them onto a mass, city wide strike

withing hours over 30,000 workers had gone on strike, the city was paralyzed and tanks and the army had blocked the roads and were slowly encirlcing the affected areas.

throuhout the city the chant could be heard

Romescu WE are the people!

the lerasian governmnet was shocked by the first ever threat to his rule. there was not a single sign of unrest at is birthday two days earlier. The lerasian government gave the following orders

Quarentine the city, declare martial law in that area, allow no media to enter that zone, just surround the demonstrators but dont do anything YET, maybe after a day they will leave.

Currently 30,000 people are demonstrating in the center of Kanostas. 15,000 soldiers, 100 tanks, 20,000 securiforce agents and 15,000 city police are inside the city ready to crush the unrest when the order is given......

So far the outside world know this much

Kanostas is a port city which is all of a sudden no longer acceoting any shipping in or out due to the quarentine, they know the Lerasian governmnet has made no public official response and they know Martial law has been declared in that area. 2 foriegn ships are caught in the Port and are not permitted to leave

OOC: those two foriegn ships can belong to anyone who says so first gets them. This incident has taken place AFTER the Lerasian press conference so all the foriegn journalists are either still staying in Berezin in their hotel room and are about the leave or they are already back in their home nations

Enver Racature was the mayor of Kanostas, he was in his mid 50's, balding and was quite a round and short man. he wore flash, black designer suits and bowler hats. He sat in his government offices in the center of Kanostas
Through his lage office window dirrecly behind him you could see the ocean, the city and its old spanish, colonial architecture laid out infront of him. he could even see thousands of frustrated workers marching up the main avenue towards the governmnet offices.

Luckily for Enver the entire governmnet offices was baracaded by road blockes, tanks and soldiers ready to fire, a helicopter was on the roof just in case of a worst scenario

Enver was on the phone, he was pacing backwards and forth by his desk

"yes, mr president, martial law has been declared.......the two ships are.......we have detained the crews of the ships sir, no one is leaving the city and the only people entering are extra troops........dont worry the situation will come under control, I will speak directly to these people and I'll make it perfectly clear to them......yes sir" Enver hung up the phone and then wiped the sweat off his forehead

Enver pushed his phone dircted at teh secretary and he spoke into it

"Ms Urenta, contact the commander of the Kanostas army division and send him up to my office"

"Yes sir" the womans voice replied

This whole situation is fucked up! Enver thought

The R.C.S Mira Mesa a Peter the Great Class Battleship, happened to have been in Lerasia that day that the revolution started,the Captain having delivered the CP-1 to the Leader as a gift for his birthday 2 days ago, now they were being detained and Jack roared on the radio to the harbormaster "Why are we being held here against our will, we aren't going to resist like the people, and we won't attack you. I don't know about you but my sailors are getting pretty darn tired of being held for who knows how many days, we wish to leave as soon as you'll let us free!" He sat back awaiting a response from the Harbormaster.

Kanosta, port:

The R.U.S Avalon had stopped at the port city after a long trip from Tolvin; they were just about to leave when suddenly they received a message from the harbormaster saying that they couldn't. Captain Hans Levinsohn was on the bridge of the Griffon class Guided-Missile cruiser (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/cgnx29yd.png) when he received the message. "Hmm...this can't be good."
"What should we do sir?" asked the communication's officer. "Implement General Quarter's, I don't like this."
"Yes sir." Han's grabbed the Microphone and said the following, "All hands this is the captain, we are now in General Quarters, I repeat General Quarters, all hands man your battle stations." The alarms started up as the whole crew went into motion. Hopefully the Lerasian's don't respond in a hostile manner.

On the bridge of the R.C.S Mira Mesa
Jack sat in his chair hands on head wondering why this had to happen to him, when he looked across the harbor, and saw another ship detained also. Maybe, just maybe if he could read the name on the ship, he could contact it and see what this was about. After much squinting he saw it was the R.U.S Avalon, and he called on the radio "Hi there Captain of the Avalon, we have been detained here like you perhaps, do you know why this is happening?" He sat back in his chair and awaited an answer from the other ship.

Kanosta, port:

With the alarm's blaring and people moving in every direction, it was amazing that Han's heard the radio message. He quickly grabbed the Mic and responded, "This is Captain Han's Levinsohn, commander of the R.U.S Avalon, identify yourself." At the same time he motioned to turn off the alarm and for everyone to settle down. With his hand over the Mic he said, "Where is this transmission coming from?" The communication's officer quickly tracked it down to the R.C.S Mira Mesa, "where is it?" the captain asked. "At are ten o'clock sir!" Han's grabbed a par of binoculars and quickly spotted the battleship.

Cap.Jack replied "I am Jack Arnold, the captain of the R.C.S Mira Mesa, we have been detained here against our will. I suspect that's the same with you too, we are friendly, and like us you have been detained by this goverment that's holding us against our will. I hope this detainment will end soon, my sailors are getting qutie tired of this mess, how about yours?" He sat back down and waited for a reply.

Kanosta, port:

Still looking threw his binoculars he said, "We have just implemented General Quarter's, I'm not taking any chances with this country. Hopefully this detainment ends soon or this situation could boil over with my government, they wont respond lightly to a detainment of a Naval Cruiser for no reason what so ever." Han's turned to the Com's officer and said, "Get in touch with M.C.I (Military Command and Intelligence), they need to know about this." The officer nodded and went to work.

M.C.I, Classified location:

"Incoming message from the R.U.S Avalon, sir", said one of the M.C.I Com officers. "What does it say?" asked the Head Director. "Lerasia will not let us leave port, no reason given, situation could get ugly." The Head Director put his hand to his chin and then said, "Inform the Prime Minister. This situation doesn't sound good."

Cap.Jack replied "I think I am going to take my chances and get out of this port anyway. I have a pleathora of weapons on this ship, and if they try to attack, since I have activated my Phalanx gun system, any planes, small ships or other threats that come within 25 miles of this battleship will be decimated. I am ordering my crew to cast off right now and end this stand off. Me and my crew will pray for your saftey" He ordered the men to cast off, and ordered the men to start the ship up, and the big battleship started out of the harbor in which they had been detained.

Kanosta, Port:

"Thanks, I might just join you if I can get approval from my superior's." Han's told the COM officer to relay another message to M.C.I.

Minister House, Directus:

A high-ranking military officer walked into the Prime Minister's office and handed him the two transmissions from the Avalon. "What should we do Prime Minister?" The PM leaned back in his chair, pondering about what to do. Finally he said, "What do we have close by that could assist them?"
"Sir, two Warrior Class General-Purpose Cruiser's (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/cgx1xo.png) are very close to there position. They were suppose to link up with the Avalon after they left port." The Prime Minister thought for a long time. After a few seconds he said, "Alright, let them leave and inform the two Cruisers that if the Lerasian's take any hostile action against them they have my approval to enter Lerasian waters and assist them in there escape."
"Yes sir."

Back at Kanosta:

"Incoming message sir, there saying we have permission."
"Alright, cast off and lets get the hell out of here." Han's grabbed the Mic and said to Jack, "Were coming with you, lets hope to god we make it out of here alive." The Avalon's engines came to life and the ship started to make its way out of port.

OOC: Lets let Lerasia respond before we go any further.

The lerasian harbour masters were a bit slow to respond. They thought the crew of both boats would just sit tight until the quarentine ends
The harbour workers (those that hadnt gone on the strike) noticed the ship begin to leave

Habour master Goodescu came rushing into the main warehouse office which saw the view of the harbour and the ship attempting to leave

"What the fuck, are they mad! what are they doing!?"

one of the other harbour workers was already standing, looking out of the window "where were you Goodescu? the other ship already left we didint know what to do"

Goodescu responded automatically "The general Mautar, commander of the Kanostas garrison has been at my case all day, yelling at me, i was dregged down to the Military HQ because of this fucking situation all over the city!"

"Well what should we do?" the harbour worker said

"Get me on the loudspeaker and close the harbour gates so the habour is completely sealed! call for the army nearby to come here IMMEDIATLY, get in contact with the ships captain! NOW!"

The harbour loudspeakers began to start up

"Halt! we are ordering you to Halt! please remain in the harbour!"

the other harbour worker got on a communications device and began trying to contact the bridge of the ship
"Please we are ordering your to stop at once. We must cheak to see if you are carrying refugee's you are still considered a risk to the state. if you get this over and done with then you can leave. Please I am calling you to halt"

meanwhile the situation is the city didnt get anybetter. the protesters had grown in streagth and now they were face to face with the army blockade outside the city government offices.

OOC: sorry I was at work for 8 hours and I couldnt do anything

All of a sudden on regular lerasian TV the progams were all interupted by an Emergency Broadcast. the same picture of the Governmnet Conference room was on every channel. This is also an official response to the International Community

The 62 yearold President Romescu, looking quite confused (like he never thought anything like this would happen) He sat down infront fo the Microphones

"My fellow Lerasians, a tragedy has taken place in the southern port city of Kanostas. Beginning at 8 in the morning thousands of traitors and anarchists took to the street, demanding chaos, death, murder and looting. This awful disorder that has disrupted the nation is the falt of Outside elements, foriegners that wish to see us return to the chaos of the Pre 1981 revolution. I have warned all of you before about the danger of foriegn influences. they have sadly corrupted the people of Kanostas. Our great army, police and loyalists have occupied the city but but the rioters have not quelled. so we issue this ultimatum. End your terror now or face the consequences for your violent acts against Lerasia. We also call for the international communisty not to worry. We have 2 foriegn ships in the port of Kanostas that will be searched for traitors, weapons or anything that may aid the rioters

(The president was unaware that one ship had already broken free and was on their way home while the other was on their way to breaking free)

We want the international community to join with us in solidarity and condemn the rioters for their awful acts of hate.

Enver Racature was now very terrified, he had recieved over 80 different phone calls from the Central governmnet in Berezin, two of those had been from President Romescu demanding Enver get the situation under control

one of Enver's aides rushed into the room accompanied by 5 soldeirs

"whats going on!?" enver said

The pale faced, young aide began to speak in a shakily voice, he was obviosly scared

"Mr Mayor, the demonstrators are face to face with the army blockade right outside the gates of the government offices....." The aide was interupted by a loud and frustrated Enver

"I can see that!"

"Mr Mayor the generals ha.. hav.. have called for you to speak directly to the people to try and get some sense into them, the army have already prepared the microphones"

"fine, luckily I've prepared for this for the whole day"

Enver walked out of the office down the hall way with the aide and the 5 soldiers behind him, He stood out onto the balcony. as soon as he came in view of the people the Mob began a explosive, screach of boo's and chants

"Calm down Lerasians! Be good people!" Enver yelled over the microphones

"Listen friends! I know you are frustrated......." It was no hope he could hardly be heard for all the screaming on the square bellow

The bewilderment on his face said it all, his utter astonishment, not in the history of Romescu's rule had a governmnet official been yelled down. Enver left the balcony

Then one of the military generals in charge of the governmnet offices blockade came up to Enver.

The general began to speak
"Enver Racature we have been given the order from the Central governmnet from Berezin to open fire on the demonstrators"

"fine get on with it! I want this to end just as much as the central government but why didnt they contact me with this news!?"

"The government no longer trusts you can take control of the situation which is why you have been placed under arrest"

Enver suddenly burst into a fit of rage

"Get teh fuck away from me you mother fucker! I have served under this government since 1981, I was a revolutionary, how could you betray me like this! I have lead Kanostas since 1995, I stopped the 1995 famine from reaching Kanostas!"

The 5 soldiers then turned on Enver and blugened him with their Rifel Butts until he was uncounsious

Romescu had found his fall guy

The general which arrested Enver was now sitting in the Mayors office, he contacted the soldeirs at the front gate of the Government offices on his radio

"The order has been given from Berezin, Fire into the rioters!"

within seconds from inside the Mayors office The general heard the sound of gun shots and screaming. He walked over to the wndow to see the street full of thousands of civilians scattering in all directions, running for their lives. The army moved foward continually firing into the fleeing citizens

Donw on the street it was absolute Chaos. The police blugened the civilians curled up on the ground, blood was all over the street, hundreds lay dead, thousands lay wounded, screaming in agony. Securiforce agents had taken up posts along the rofftops, firing down onto the street. Death was everywhere.......

One military general who was against the order went down into the basement of the girls school (a temporary military HQ for the northern area of the city)
he went to his computer and sent a message to major journalist and media agencies all over the world to tell them of the horror that has caome over the city. as he wrote the message bullets could be heard and then teh dorr busted open, it was Securiforce agents,

"Fire at the traitor!" they screamed. and the general died but it was to late, the world was now going to know what was going on

OOC: Keep in mind This incident has taken place AFTER the Lerasian press conference so all the foriegn journalists are either still staying in Berezin in their hotel room and are about the leave or they are already back in their home nations

OOC:
ok i'm going to bed then when i wake up i've got school and then after that i've got work so from when this message is sent i'll be away from this for over 20 hours, so dont take to story to far like what happend before, Sorry guys

On the Bridge of the R.C.S Mira Mesa after breaking free of detainment

Jack got the radio mike and replied to the Captain of Auroa "We are free at last, we are 1-2 miles outside of the harbor, and we will wait here for you, to support you incase of trouble" Then he replied to the harbormaster "No, we will not stop for you, and if you send launches to attempt to search us, our guns are activated, and if they try to come 1-2 miles from us, we will blow them out of the water with the phalanx gun system we have. And there are 2 more of our battleships near here, that we will call upon if we have to use force. Do you understand, we are free, and we won't let you detain us again." He sat back down in the chair and surveyed the situation at hand.

Kanosta, port:

As the Avalon started to make its way out of the port the gates suddenly started to close, at the same time the harbor workers yelled for them to halt. Han's grabbed the Mic and said, "We will not stop, and you have no right to search this military vessel. If your smart you wont try to stop us." Han's switched his attention towards the closing gate, "Target the gate with the 203mm"
"Aye sir." said the weapon's officer. The Huge Twin Mount Mark III started to move as the weapon locked on to the gate. "Sir, I have a firing solution."
"Open fire!" There was a huge *BOOM* as the gun fired and then another loud explosion as the two shell's slammed into the closing gate, severally damaging it. The gate stopped moving but by now it was too much in the way for them to slip threw. "Fire again!" yelled Hans as the gun loaded another voile, again the huge gun fired, this time the shell's blew the gate away. It fell backwards into the water creating a huge splash as it hit the waters surface, cheering rang out throughout the ship as the Avalon cleared the destroyed gate and started to head out to sea. Han's contacted the Mira Mesa, "This is the Avalon, we have broken threw the port gate and are now heading out to sea, hope to see you soon."

Bottom of R.U.S Avalon:

Unknown to the entire crew a group of ten Special Forces have a different objective. Below the ship was a ASDS (Advanced SEAL Delivery System) (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/asdsside200.jpg). It was connect to the vessel by a very strong sealed hatch, which was now being opened by one of the SF personal. It opened with a hiss, revealing the inside of the small vessel. One by one the ten men lowered themselves and there gear into the ASDS, when everyone was in the hatch was closed and sealed behind them and then the vessel's hatch was closed and sealed. The person operatoring the vessel pushed a button, releasing the ASDS from the Avalon. The operator started the engines and set a course for there starting point, behind them a panel made of the same material as the hull of ship moved over the hatch covering it up like it was never there.

Berezin, Local UBC reporter's hotel room:

"Ok do we have everything?"
"Yes Max for the last time!"
"Hey you don't have to get all pissed off just because I don't want to lose any of this shit!" As the two UBC (Ustian Broadcasting Center) reporters started to get hateful with each other one of the UMI-SU's (Ustian Military Industry's security Unit's) walked in to break it up, "Jesus Christ just get along you two! I'm getting sick and tired of baby sitting you guy's and it would really help if you would just shut the hell up and get all of this crap into the van!" The two got quiet and started to walk out of the room, holding news’s equipment. Inside the room other UBC personal where gathering there equipment and heading out when all of a sudden Max got a text message. He grabbed his cell phone and read the message; a look of excitement with a hint of fear swept threw his face. He looked at everyone behind him and said, "Where going to Kanosta."

The streets of Kanostas were strewn with dead bodies of the demonstrators that had been shot dead, military soldiers grabbed the bodies and piled in huge mounds in the center of the streets. small groups of demonstrators were still alive, some baracaded themselves in building snwhile other tried in vain to carry on the demonstration

Back at the government offices, all the entire staff were on their phones, paces backwards, chaos had ended on the streets but now it was in the Government offices. government aides and military generals were shouting in their phones

"Harbour Master Goodescu! what do you mean Break through! this is a city wide quarentine, WHY didnt you take control of the situation!.......WHAT they threatened with force!?......ok dont fire on them, dont provoke them, i'll contact the navy to send some ships to stop them from leaving.....What do you mean why is it important! 1: If romescu's orders are defied then what do you think will happen to us! and 2: these foriegn ships dont have the right to destroy Lerasian property! and 3: for all we know they are harbouring the traitors, refugees or weapons and funds that aided the traitors!


Minutes passed and the Navy got the message from the General. The ships began moving out of their coastal base, heading towards Kanostas.
20 minutes passed and now the ships were now in view of the city, the ships continued moving around to try and form a blockade

the sea captain of the leader ship the Great Romescu, Captain Alinciau contacted the other ships on a connected communications device
"Captains stay alert their seem to be two other ships on the horizon further south, dont contact them, wait for them to contact us, in the meantime just sit tight in this blockade"

OOC: I'm not really good at the military side of things, sorry By the way i'll be away agin for over 20 hours becasue of work

"Sir there have been reports that the Lerasian military has opened fire upon its own citizens after a protest."

Huyt looked at the reports on his desk. Ever since Lerasia had opened itself to the world he had had an uneasy feeling about it. They claimed to protect their people but shot them on the street should they criticise.

"Hmm their leader seems a tad unstable. I'd diagnose him with inferiority complex leading him to push himself above others. Not a good quality in many men. Don't do anything big but should we have any agents in that region of the world I want them to report and give an update on the situation."

"Understood sir."

Captain Arnold called on the radio to Cap.Hans "Great news, We'll see you out on the seas,IF they try to go after you or us, let me know, after all I have 4 16 inch guns at your disposal. My radar man reports they are attempting to blockade the harbor,but little do they know..." He chuckled, and With that he sat back down and looked around. They were at least 5-6 miles out of the harbor, so they should be safe enough, but he wasn't going to abandon a friendly ship, not even if it had escaped, for he knew the navy might try to go after them.

On board R.U.S Avalon, bridge:

"Roger, it's good to have your support." Han's put the Mic up and then walked over to his second in command, "Commander you have the Bridge, I'm heading down to the CIC." (Command, Intelligence and Control) (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/p6-b.gif) The Commander saluted and said, "Aye sir." After a few minutes of navigating threw the ship he arrived in the CIC, one of the officers noticed him enter and said, "Attention on deck!" Immediately everyone stood up from their positions and stood at attention. Han's said, "At ease sailor's, where is the battle group now?" Everyone went back to his or her’s post and one of the radar officers answered the captain's question, "Sir they are west of are position in a Blockade formation, I guess they’re trying to cut us off sir."
"Of course they are, Persistent little bastards." Han's walked over to the radio and told the COM's officer to patch him threw to the two other cruisers in the area, when the officer finished he heard a voice on the other line, "This is Rear Admiral David Miller in command of the Chitzeland and Birania, what do you need?"
"Rear Admiral the Lerasian navy is mobilizing, there trying to cut us off."
"Roger, will mirror them and keep them just in range of are Typhoon's (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/agm200typhoon1wh.png)."
"Roger, over and out." On the Tactical map the two allied cruisers started to move towards the approaching enemy battle group. "Patch me threw to the Vice Admiral of 2nd Battle Fleet."
"Aye sir."
"This is the Vice Admiral."
"Sir, this is captain Hans of the Avalon sir. We have an enemy battle group trying to cut us off, I'm requesting air support from your Carrier."
"How many aircraft are we talking about?"
"At least a group sir."
"Roger, I'll get them over there as soon as possible captain."
"Sir?"
"Yes Captain?"
"How long will it take?"
"About 20 minutes, why?"
"Nothing, over and out." Han's switched the radio off and looked at the COM's officer, not sure if there going to make it. Meanwhile the ship continued north, away from the enemy battle group, hoping they might be able to out run the ships.

Flight deck of R.U.S Directus (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/cvax8bb.png):

"Get those planes moving on the double! The Avalon doesn't have much time left!" yelled the Air Boss from the control sector of the tower. On the flight deck crews scrambled to get there aircraft ready to take off and already the first four were ready on the catapults. "You have permission to take off, good hunting boys." The pilots saluted threw the cockpits of there SuF/A-6N1's (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/nightowlvsuow8.png) and N2's, (Two seater variant, kind of like the F-15E is to the single seater variant the F-15C) the catapult then suddenly kicked into action and one by one the first four aircraft jolted into the sky, bound for the enemy battle group with Typhoon HASM's (High-Speed, Anti-Ship Missile) at the ready. More would be on the way.

Below the Port:

Meanwhile the ASDS slow lying came to a halt at a deep level in the port. The Operator pushed a button and the two anchors on the vessel began to descend until they hit the bottom. The group would stay there for a while so things can calm down a little, making they’re surfacing a little easier.

OOC: Keep in mind the 2nd Battle Fleet is a good way's away. Aircraft can just respond faster then vessel's, that's all. Also how far away is Berezin from Kanosta? It would help if you have a map for your nation and how many vessel's are there in this battle group and what type? You might as well tell me considering my electronic's have and will tell me anyways in IC. (In Character)

Jack called up on the radio to Hans, "Do you need any help dealing with the blockade fleet, I know you could have planes on the way, but our 16 inchers will reach the blockade fleet if you so desire. We are happy to help in anyway possible, if you need anything more, contact us on this frequency." And he sat back down, and looked at the map to plot thier posistion while waiting for an answer from Hans.

FUCK! shouted Captain Alinciau, he was red in the face.

"this situation is geting out of control! it could turn hostile"
Captain Alinciau was then contacted on the ships communications

"Captain Alinciau! This is President Romescu!" Captain Alinciau then stood stunned, never in his life had the President spoken to him

"Yes Mr president!" Alinciau said in full alertness

"I want you to tell me what the hell is going on! 'The general in Kanostas has told me that the harbour has been damaged and the ships have escaped! is this true!"

"we..well yes, the ships broke through the harbour gates but we are blockading the other ship in, but the situation is threatening to turn hostile, other than the first ship that amde it out, an extra two ships have come to their aide"

"Forget it!" Romescu snapped

"Mr President?" Captain Alinciau said in amazement

"I will contact these nations in a few hours, just let them through, dont provoke them, there is only one thing more dangerous then an antigovernment and thats a WAR!" The communications then ended with Captain Alinciau breaking out in a sweat, his hand was trembling

meanwhile back in Kanostas military personnel was seen on every street corner, stationed at roadblocks and Securiforce agents had taken up permanent posts on the roof tops of almost everybuilding.

Omar Stumbled into the living room of his tiny rundown flat aided by two other demonstrators, his wife and another young man in his 20's, Omar had bullet wounds on his legs and his arm was crushed in the chaos and stampede of terrified citizens fleeing gun fire. over 2 days ago he was a humble factory worker and now he was wanted by the state like the rest of the surviving protesters......

The R.C.S Norton, and the R.C.S Warsaw (both PTG class battleships) arrived on either side of the R.C.S Mira Mesa, and both captains sent messages to Cap.Arnold saying they were here. Cap.Arnold told his men to prepare the turrets for firing, in case this got out of hand, but don't fire yet he warned, we aren't sure of the situation here yet. And so they waited, but they were prepared for war, with a total of 12 16- inchers (the 3 BB's combined) they were a very powerful battery, and also 1 carrier, and an escort battle group was on it's way here, with F/A-15C Cardinal fighters on the carriers.

In the Cockpit of Lt.Col Bob Arnold's F/A-15C....

"Mudhen 05, we have a hostile target 10 miles north of the R.C.S Mira Mesa, it's one of the blockade ships, use your harpoon's over"
Bob heard what Eagle Nest (The R.C.S George Washington) said, and he replied "Roger that Eagle Nest, I am headed that way over, and my harpoon's ready over"
He turned his plane to the north, where the hostile enemy ship was seen, and after 6 minutes he saw it, a medium sized destroyer, he locked his harpoon's on the ship and fired away....

Romescu paced back and forth in the large livingroom of the Presidential palace. Spectatcular artwork lined the walls, an expensive sofa set sat in the corners of the room and a magnificent, beautiful varniushed table sat in the center of the room, 5 of Romescu's closest aides sat at the table.

"Mr President, I have an Idea we have to get the support of the people back and return their trust back in you, Mr president"

"Well what do you suggest we do!" Romescu snapped

"Hold another magnificent parade on Romescu square tomorrow, it will raise moral of the government"

"well yes, that could work, give me the details"

"Well mr President you should speak directly to the people in a great speech, the parade shpuld have over 100,000 citizens, we can get the citizens from the country side again by transporting them into the city in Cattle trains and trucks, because city work is more important than farm work so its important to keep the city workers still at work"

"so in otherwords it like my birthday over again?"

"Well yes, but more spectacular and involving more people"

"Ok, i agree with that, collect the country dwellers and house them overnight in the barracks outside the city ready for tomorrow, in the meantime i want the Foriegn ministry to contact all the countries viewing this situation and reassure them the situation is under control"

To the foriegn ministry to Londim

Due to tragic events in Lerasia we would like you to recall all your journalists from Lerasia, they may stay for tomorrows parade but after the parade they must leave Lerasia, There is a lot of Treacherous activity in the southern town and thats why we imposed martial law on that area

from the Foriegn ministry of Lerasia


(OOC: at the moment of these messages Romescu has no idea about what is happening at the harbour right now)

To the Foriegn Ministry of Calizorinstan

We would ask you please to remain calm, after the inspection your ship can return home, there is no need for hostility. This problem is our problem and your ship just happened to be caught in the middle, after the inspection of your ship it may leave.

From the Foriegn ministry of Lerasia

To the foriegn ministry of Ustia

We would like you and your ships to remain calm, you have defied our martial law, please allow us to inspect your ship incase you are harbouring the traitors or are giving them the means to carry out these demonstrations. Please return back to the harbour for an inspection once its over you can leave

From the foriegn ministry at Lerasia

the ship shuddred and shacked

"We've been hit!" Yelled one crewman, the ship continued shaking
the siren went off, crew man scattered around the boat,

"Its a harpoon!" from the hostile vessels they could see the attacked perfectly.............

Lt.Col Bob Arnold pulled up, and came in around for another attack, and he released another harpoon at the destroyer, hoping it would hit. And he saw another of his friends, also in a F/A-15C, attack another destoryer with a harpoon.

Meanwhile Cap.Jack Arnold called to Hans, "We're engaging the enemy ships now, one of our own plane's have just hit a destroyer. Our president just responded to the Foreign Ministry of Lerasia and he said " We were caught in the middle you are right PM of Lerasia, but we our polite demands to be let out weren't listened too, and plus foreign ship's may not me carrying refugges , so I have ordered my ship's and planes to sink the blockade fleet, then return home." Thus Hans, the Lerasian's attempted to do sneaky diplomacy, but as we speak, they have begun attacking our ships. In fact the whole Air Wing is in the air, except for one wing that's defending the battle group, those blockade fleet ship's will be sorry for messing with Ustia and Calizorinstan by attempting to hold them hostage." Jack got off the mic, and told his men "Fire at will with those 16-inchers at the blockade fleet! That will show 'em." The men cheered, and soon the 12 16-inchers were heard firign "BOOM BOOM BOOM" at the enemy ships.

Romescu had now just heard what was happening in Kanostas and the fight that had broken out at the harbour from the General and Captain Alinciau
upon hearing the news Romescu worked himself up into a rage

"HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO ME! This is outragous! what sort of Provocation is this!" Romescu shouted at his aides

"Everyone is working against me! I want those ship to Fight as hard as they can! They cant do this to me! if my ships die I dont care at least they should do some damage to those Bastards!"

all of the aides looked at a raging Romescu in astonishment

"Mr president, this could mean war..."

"I dont give a fuck! we cant back down to them!" Romescu stormed over to the table and picked up the gun that was his birthday gift and threw it in a rage at the wall

"Now get out all of you!" the aides scurried out of the room

The order had been given to defend themselves against the enemy ships

Romescu then came up with a last minute Idea, he then contacted Captain Alinciau

"Captain! I'm taking control of the fleet, they will do as I say, any disobedience will be treated with treason and they will be classed as in league with the enemy!"

"Mr president you want to take control of the fleet?" Captain Alinciau was totally confused, how could a man in a landlocked area of the country in the capital, command a fleet that he didnt even see and know the proper situation

"O...ok mr president what do you want us to do?"

"Fire on the nearest ship, all of the ships must fire on the nearest enemy ship!"

Captain Alinciau didnt know weather to laugh or cry, all his mens lives were now in a hands of a man who had no military experience and seemed to have lost his mind

"It will be done, sir" all the ships concentrated their fire power on the nearest ship..........

Immeditialy as soon as the enemy blockade ships fired on the R.C.S Warsaw and Descanso, the big battleships fired back with their combined 12 16 inchers, firing what might be damaging salvos, and the phalanx gun systems open devastating volleys on the otherships, and the 12 strong formation of F/A-15Cs turned towards the ships and fired devasting harpoons at 4 destroyers, and then the A-10C attack planes came in low, and dropped bombs on top of the destoryers, and Cap.Jack Arnold on the Mira Mesa ( which took only a slight dents on the armor, and some hits on the fantail) wondered what idion in the Lerasian High Command order this devestating attack, nether the less when he told the Cheif of the Navy, the CON sent 3 more PTG battleships to the scene and one backup carrier strike force, in case things got ugly.

The Lerasian blockade ships were crumbling, Captain Alinciau looked in horror, his men were dieing then the communications started up

"Captain Alinciau whats the situation like now!?" Romescu said over the communicator

Captain Alinciau was completely furious
"Mr president we are being crushed......"

Romescu then began to yell
"Captain Alinciau I am holding YOU personelly redsponsible for this catastrophe! You and Enver have ruined me! When you get back to the Harbour you will be punished for this mess!"

Captain Alinciau had had enough, he had no idea what he should do, die fighting or die as a traitor,

"Mr president i'm sorry, i'll fight as hard as I can" Captain Alinciau said, he cut communications with the president then contacted the rest of the surviving Blockade fleet

"Fellow Lerasians we are in serious trouble, dont fire on anymore ships, this will have a happy ending, contact the enemy tell them we are coming over to their side, we are defecting, we will not die for Romescu!"

Most of the ships captains agreed with this and began contacting the opposing ships

"Please dont attack us we are defecting, No one wants to do anything for Romescu anymore!"

The ships began to move away from Kanostas and break formation. for the 2 ships that did remain loyal they continued attacking the enemy, the other 8 began moving towards the enemy

OOC: how do you make a map for your country?

OOC: I am not quite sure how to make a map.

Cap.Jack Arnold called on the radio to the defecting ships "We will not fire on you, we will take you under our protection, and we have ordered the jet's to cease attacking you, and attack the remaining loyal ones that are attacking us. We have picked up several survivors, and they wish to go to our country. We will cover your entry to our fleet, how ever if you try a sneak attack, which I don't think you will, you will be sorry. But I belive you are true in your sayings, when you get over to us, we wil send officers, and medics over to your boats to help recover, and you can follow us to Calizorinstan." He got off the radio, and ordered his men to cease firing at the defecting destroyers, and aim at the still remaining loyal ones, and Jack explained this to Hans, and told him to stop shooting at their new allies. After a while, the 8 defectors reached the Calizorinstani Fleet, and they and the Calizorinstani's ran their ships at full speed to get away from Lerasia. They were surpisingly fast, and manged to get at least 6 miles from the action, and Jack heard some of the jets returning to the carriers, and thought "At least the defectors will be safe now, I have managed not to die, and I at least showed the Lerasian goverment, we aren't to be trifled with, and we put on a good show of force."

"yes we are free men!" yelled Captain Alinciau. the rest of the ship were still reluctant to cheer, they seemed so scared

Captain Alinciau contacted Captain Jack Arnold
"Thank god, you saved us, we need aslym in your country, but most importantly everyone has to know what is going on in Lerasia, people should put economic snactions on it until Romescu is forced from power, we have much to speak about, and thanks you once again, you have saved all of us"

Romescu back in Berezin heard the new of the defection

"MUTINY! how dare they! what is happening! everyone is against me! GET ME Fien Goreda, head of Securiforce, I want him at the Presidential palace as soon as possible" Romescu shouthed into a phone

OOC: Goddamn it I missed it all! Fucking track meet.

R.U.S Avalon:
Throughout the short battle the Avalon and the other ships fired devastating waves of Typhoon's while the SuF/A-6N2's fired there Typhoon's from the air. Now the order was given to cease fire on the defecting ships and focus on the loyalist. The N2's formed up and headed towards the two remaining hostile ships, "Alright gentlemen get ready....and....Grun 1 fox 1!" The Typhoons released from the N2's and zoomed towards the two remaining hostile vessel's, the N2's checked left towards the Avalon and the other ships in the fleet. Meanwhile the Avalon, Chitzeland and Birania turned towards the Calizorinstan and defecting ships. Han's responded to Jack, "Roger, we have ceased are assault on the defecting ships. Are Naval fighters will deal with the two remaining hostile ships. As for us, were getting out of here, good hunting my friend." Han's put the radio down and noticed that everyone in the CIC was starring at him, wondering about what had happened. He said to them, "Sailors, we made it." Everyone in the room burst into a sudden cheer for there small victory. "Alright, alright everyone calm down and lets get out of here." Everyone in the room yelled, "Aye sir!" and went back to there duties.

Below Port:

The men in the ASDS were getting a little anxious, they were glad when a secure transmission came in from MCI. On the laptop the message read, "Proceed with objective, contact us in 12 hours and one more thing, good hunting out there." Four of the men in the unit started to put on their Diving equipment, when they finished the men grabbed there other gear. The four of them then went to the back of the vessel so they could go threw the airlock and then outside to the water. The door behind the men closed and sealed, immediately afterwards the area started to fill with water until the entire thing was filled up and equalized with the outside pressure. When that happened the airlock door opened and the four men proceeded outside. One of them contacted the operator, "Is it clear up there?"
"Hold on, let me raise the periscope." A long pole suddenly came out of the top of the Vessel until it was just above the surface, the diver saw it move around a little bet but then it stopped and went back down. "Yeah, your good."
"Roger, heading up." The Four men split into two groups of two, taking two different walk ways up. The four men reached the walkways and then started to climb out as quietly as possible. They immediately took off their diving equipment, revealing Harbor worker clothing and identification. Then they dropped the diving equipment into the water where below the other member’s would gather the equipment. The four men then grabbed the bags containing their equipment and started to walk up, acting as normal harbor workers. One of the men on the other side of the Port Said "will meet up a few yards up there." The men heard it threw a small radio that is formed to the shape of the inner ear and is colored as the same as the skin. The other men responded by taping the bottom of their ear's containing the hidden communicator that turns them on and off and said, "Roger will be there in a sec."

Fien Goreda head of Securiforce and President Romescu were alone in Romescu's personnel office. More magnificent and expensive artwork lined the walls with 4 grand marble sculptures in each corner of the room. Romescu stood at the empty, grand, open fire place.

"Goreda I want arrests! we have to do all in our power to prevent another Kanostas and another mutiny in the army!"

"Of course Mr President" Fien said in a greasing, sly tone

"How can i trust anybody anymore! there all against me! keep an eye on Tanoi I think she's ploting against me, sh wants to see me gone!"

"Sir you think Tanoi? Minister of the Environment? Sir i dont thi........"

"Listen the whole government is in on it! Keep an eye on all the high government ministers and I want you to arrest Yanika, Lorenz and Potiv!"

"But sir what have they done? they have been with us since 1995, loyal all....."

"I dont want to hear it! If this government is to survive we have to act, now do as I say!"

Fien backed out of the room...

SECRET IC:
High over the Nation of Lerasia, SpySat's 16 through 20 hovered. The Dark Empire of Shazbotdom heard about this situation and figured it could use some checking out and possibly a deployment of military froces. The satelites were scouring the nation looking for anything wierd when they zoomed in and noticed the dead body's in the port city.

SCENE: Imperial Palace
It was shortly after the press conference in which the Empire stated it's position on the Hatarian Conflict when Mr. Renolds from Shazbotdom Logistics Co. knocked on the door to the Supreme Emperors office.

"Come in," said George A. Loak, the Supreme Emperor.

"Sir. We have reports from the Nation of Lerasia that there is dissent in the streets. We sent a group of SpySat's to the region and caught these images on them. A naval battle in progress just outside of the Harbor City of Kanosta. Also we noticed this horrific sight. Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dead citizens being burned in the city."

George looked at the images. He had never seen something this terrible in his life. He stood up and walked over to the window overlooking Parliament Square and stood there. Why are some national leaders so terrible, he thought to himself. Why do they need to kill their own citizens for satisfaction and humor? He then turned around to Mr. Renolds.

"Thank you for this information. You are dismissed."

Renolds turned around and walked out of the room. As the door was shutting, George walked back to his desk and pushed a button on the red phone, paging the Minister of the Military.

"May I Help you, George?" Replied Grand Admiral Rockenbach over the phone.

"Yeah. I want the 2nd HAVOC Naval Battlegroup sent to the Nation of Lerasia. Have them send ahead a group of aircraft to scout out the area though. Make the aircraft be the Thunderbolt's."

"Yes, Sir." He replied.


SCENE: USS Romeoville
It was a clear day in the bay when the order came. The fleet was to set sale for some pissant little nation where their tyrant of a leader sent the military on a murderous rampage through it's own nation. Admiral Armbruster didn't like this one bit. He looked out the window as the open sea came into view past Threo Island. Out of the corner of his eyes, Fifteen Thunderbolt aircraft were doing a vertial takeoff off of the flight deck of his ship. A total of fourty-five of these aircraft were taking off total from the fleet to head out towards the specified nation.

He didn't know if his orders would change from Observation to Offensive, but he did know that in the fleet, he had almost 500,000 Marines stationed on the ships, ready for anything that happened...

FROM: The Office of Supreme Emperor George A. Loak
TO: The Office of the President of Lerasia

Ok. Now I already know the truth about what is going on, but I want to make sure and hear it from you myself. What is going on in your nation and don't give me the whole speel about 'revolutionary', 'dissents', or 'terrorism'. Have you murdered innocent civlians because they disagree with the inner workings of your nation and have gotten the balls to perform a perfectally legal protest?

I expect your answer within 24 hours.

Romescu had called an urgent, emergency government meeting session that night. The parliament building was packed, all the seats were full. the governmnet ministers chattered amoungst themselves. The meeting hall was a huge, tall structure with a dome cealing. A huge portrait of Romescu in his 40's dominated the front of the hall, behind the podium. Then as soon as Romescu entered from the side door and headed to the Podium the entire Parliament meeting hall erupted in a single clapping all in time with each other
they then bagan to chant to the beat of the clap

"Glory to Lerasia! Glory to Romescu! Glory to Lerasia! Glory to Romescu!"

The government members then sat down and the clapping then stopped and Romescu read from a peace of paper infront on him

"Once again I am sadly forced to watch Lerasia descend into anarchy, and disobedience like before 1981. We fought to end the instability! and now look whats happening! This disorder started right here 2 days ago with disloyalty in the government! they want Lerasia to suffer, This shows how little Patriotism there is! but these trator will be caught! The disorder in Kanostas is all the falt of Enver! He oppressed the people of Kanostas, brought in foriegn agents and influences to cause the riots. He has been arrested but he is to blame for the disorder. NOT only him but members sitting in this room tonight are guilty of Treason and they will be arrested, tried and executed.....

Romescu read a long list of both obscure and prominent government officials, the list was long and after about 45 names were read out the army then came into the parliament hall and then searched through the crowd for the names read out on the list. the 45 government ministers were either protesting their arrest or were sobbing, they were led out of the hall and then when Romescu left the podium with a slight pause the government hall once again erupted in the same clapping rythem and the chant....

"Glory to Lerasia! Glory to Romescu!"

The Office of Supreme Emperor George A. Loak

This is the situation. The city of Kanostas was once under the control of Mayor Enver who was a dictatorial idiot that is held personelly responisble for the disorder for oppressing the people!. I, President Romescu have promised to restore order to that city. the awful foriegn influence is also a factor to the unrest, it corrupted the people. Tomorrow In Romescu square you will see how the Lerasian people supported my descision to restore order to Kanostas. The people will come out to celebrate the descision. I will send you a video tape of tonights emergency Parliament sessiona nd you will see the support i have

Your Sincerely President Essad Romescu of Lerasia

OOC: i'll be away for about 15 hours tomorrow it almost midnight here

Premier Huyt readl all the reports coming in.

"So the nation is crumbling. Romescue needs to be driven from power and there is more than enough evidence to show he is a corrupt leader who cannot hold power over his people. It is time to help the rebels. It is time to send a message. Initiate Operation Rebel.

Operation Rebel was put in place to stop leaders within Londim to become dictators but it could be used in Lerasia easily. The spy satelites over Lerasia tapped into any boradcast frequencies they could.

"First a little message to Romescu", said Huyt. The communications operators nodded. Links were set up to send a message into Romescu's own palace> Huyt sat in front of the camera.

"Mr Romescu. We see your nation is in trouble. Let me first aplogize. I apologize to the people that our government did not act sooner to protect your people. You see Romescu, you're finished. Your reign of terror has come to an end. Look into you streets, look into your country and look into your people. They are tired of being oppressed and wnat what they deserve. Thousands have died under you and thousands more shall die if you stay in power. It is over. Go peacefully."

Huyt knew this guy wouldn't go peacefully so next hit were all public broadcasts. Huyts image on screens and voice on radios.

"People of Lerasia. The time has come. Fight for your liberties. End Romescu and his reign. You have the Londim government's support. Establish a new system that is right for you. Romescu must fall. Lerasia must stand. Do not fear. Help is on the way."

Huyt cut the broadcast there. Enough had been said to allow Romescu to end his reign one way or another. Around Londim military bases, naval ports and air bases were preparing. As soon as they were needed, these forces would help the Lerasians.

After 2-3 days at sea, 40-70 miles from Lerasia
Cap.Arnold picked up mike and said to the captain of the defecting ships "We are safe I think, so if you wish to send some of your officers, so we can talk about spreading word of the situation in Lerasia, I think we'll be safe, but we have air support, and our crew is at the ready in case Romescu decides to follow us. But I think we gave him a bloody nose there at the Battle of Kulkova, and I don't think he'd be foolish enough to try again. We are only a week away from Calizorinstan, and we will grant you, and all 8 of your friends aslyum in Calizorinstan, for we would be grateful if you could tell us all about the situation in Lerasia." He sat down, and the radioman said "A message from our president sir!" Jack said "Oh, good what does it say pray?"
The radioman replied "I am displeased with Romescu for attempting to detain you, and I am very pleased with you, for taking the initave and breaking out, and finally supporting the Ustians, and firing back with all you had. And I grant the captain's and all the crew of the 8 defectors asylum in Calizorinstan.
And also for the captains of the Descanso, Warsaw and Mira Mesa, Presidential Medal of Honors will be awarded.
President
Jack Slovic"

Cap.Jack Arnold sat down, and said to the crew "I think it's high time we have some celebration around here. We just won a battle with Romescuian forces, and we got them to come to our side, and I can't wait for Cap.Alimescu and his party to come aboard and tell us all about the situation. From the looks of things, we have another Joesph Stalin on our hands. Our Anglican church service will start in an hour." He got up back on the bridge awaiting news from the 8 ships. It had been a scary 2 hours, breaking out, attempting flight and them ending up fighting back, and also getting 8 ships to come with them, it was truly Medal of Honor material for Cap.Arnold.

R.U.S Avalon, CIC:

The Avalon, Chitzeland and Birania Had headed back to the 2nd Battle Fleet. The Naval aircraft from the Directus arrived long before they did. At First Han's thought they might just continue on as planned, but the 2nd was told to remain in its current area. Then during the middle of the day the Vice Admiral made an announcement, "Attention everyone, I just received word that the rest of the 6th N.E.F is being deployed to Lerasia. Are orders are to head to Lerasia immediately, we will only be observing however that might change when everyone else arrives, that is all." Han's wasn't surprised about the order in fact nobody on the Avalon was shocked. Han's looked around the room for a second and then gave the order, "you heard the man, set a course for Lerasia all ahead full."
"Aye sir, all ahead full."

Kanosta:

The men had discarded their Harbor clothing and now had normal civilian clothing. As they walked around the city they noticed the several piles of dead body's, one of the men pulled out a pin and while aiming it at the body's clicked the top down. He had in fact taken a picture with a secret pin Camera. The four men continued to move around, taking pictures of anything that could prove what happened here. As they were walking past a store selling TV's they saw that the normal broadcast stopped and a person was standing there, talking about bringing down Romescu and all that jazz. Sam, the Leader of the four men smiled and said, "Seems like this place could get a little hot boys." The other three men snickered as they moved along.

At San Diego Harbor, 3-5 weeks after the last update....

Cap.Arnold wiped the sweat off his head, as he remembered the harrowing events of the last month, and to celebrate the battle, he had thrown a party which crewmen, and the captains of the 8 defected ships attended. He had shown them videos that the F/A-15C squadrons took of the action over Kulkova, and that amazed them. And he showed them a map of where they were headed to, and he remembered one captain saying "Your jet's are now our friends, but just a month ago they were angels, bringer of death. We respect you, and now that you are our ally, we must tell the world of Romescu's evils and things he has done. He must be overthrown, and a rightful ruler placed in Lerasia. Me and the crew, and the others thank you for letting us come with you. We will remember your actions forever" Suddenly Jack woked up out of his memories, and and he saw they were docked at the 32nd Street Naval Station, along with the 2 other battleships, and the 8 defectors, and the crew were already going off, and thus Jack walked down from the bridge, and ran down to meet Captain Alimescu at the land...

It was the day of the Huge parade in Berezin where the people would show their support for President Romescu's actions. Romescu square was packed in once again shoulder to shoulder with over 120,000 people. Romescu's portraits were scattered around the crowd lifted high. Huge banners were also raised in the crowd with Romescu slogans. The usual clapping in unisen followed with the Same chant

"Glory to Lerasia! Glory to Romescu! Glory to Lerasia! Glory to Romescu!"

Rpomescu stood out on the balcony of the presidential palace, he looked over the large crowd of citizens that packed densely into the square
The clapping and the chanting soon became quiet and Romescu began to speak

"My Fellow Lerasians, the government has fully restored order in Kanostas, we have only to blame the foriegn devils that have corrupted the citizens minds and turned them against their own country! The foriegn nations have become harsh, we must protect ourselves from the outside world!........

from the back of the square a small chant could be heard yelling

KANOSTAS! KANOSTAS! KANOSTAS! (the name of the city where demonstrations were held earlier that week) the chant was to quiet at this time and Romescu continued his speech

"The world has once again turned against us! We can o.....only...Rely.....

Romescu's speech was interupted by the the chant gorwing in streagnth

KANOSTAS! KANOSTAS! KANOSTAS! KANOSTAS!

Securiforce had by now thrown tear gass into the back section of the crowd but it was useless, the chant was now getting louder and now the entire square was engulfed in the Chant

KA-NOS-TAS! the crowd then bagan waving their fists in the air!

Romescu tried to calm down and he yelled into the microphones

"Calm down! We all support Lerasia! we are all patriots here!......

Romescu raised his hand into the air and geaustured as iff to try and get then to calm down. Fien ran up bechind Romescu and grabbed his arm

"Romescu, come inside, let securiforce handle this" Romescu and the other officials sitting on the balcony retreated into the palace, it was over for Romescu, now he had even lost the artificial support of his people.

The crowd outside then began to scatter down the streets as they worked themselves up into a frenzy

back inside the palace the room was tense, Romescu was in a rage, anybody who walked out of the room was alabled a traitor and arrested

Fien walked up to Romescu

"I have called a helicopter in, we can leave if thing start to go too wrong"

"Why cant we use the secrete underground tunnels of the palace!?"

"Mr president a helicopter will take you to Skgorria, I'm sure they will protect you"

"EXILE! who said anything about exile! I can get this under control, order your Securiforce to fire on the traitors outside"

On Berezin it seemed like a repeat of Kanostas with only more violence, Securiforce agenst arrbitrarily fired into apartment windows, down any street on anybody they could see but the crowds were far more powerful, allready 2 Romescu statues had been toppled and 1 large portrait had been torn down and stomped to peices

The event had been televised live on TV it was however cut off as soon as Romescu had begun shouting into the mike. but enough was shown everwhere for the people to witness the start of the Revolution

2 hours had passed and the army had arrived in the city they were given the order

"shoot or be shot", the helicopter had also landed on the Roof of the presidential palace but by now the entire city was on strike and unrest and they had gathered outside the Presidential palace. The army reported mutiny as generals and soldiers refused to fire on the people and some reports of the army siding with the people, The securiforce however was handling the situation with no mercy at all killing all civilians they saw......

"Mr President!" Shouted Fien

"My Securiforce agents have told me that the demonstrators have broken into the Presidential Palace grounds we have to vacate the Palace immediatly!"

Romescu all of a sudden looked frightened

"Then we have to leave now, lets go up to the Helicopter!" The room of 20 people mostly frightened aides left the Balcony room and entered the grand hallway, They scurried up the grand marble staircase and then into a great elevator only activated by a code Romescu knew.

"My loyal aides" Romescu said "You have done your patriotic duty now, I will hope that you make it out of this but this is the end of the line for you now" The elevator door shut out the 10 aides, at first they were astonished, then frightened that they had been abandoned and then they ran back to the Living room and waited

In the elevator Romescu stood quiet then he turned to Fien

"Where the hell is Truka! I bet he's behind this, I should have eliminated him a year ago! this is all his fault!"

The elevator reached the roof top, Romescu then ran over to the helicopter with the 8 other officials plus Fien

"Come, we have to leave the palace!" Souted Romescu

"Acually Romescu, I ordered another Helicopter! I'll take the next flight out of here, i'll contact you, you go now mr President" Fien said, then he backed away from the helicopter
By this time the Presidential palace had been breached by protesters, storming inside, The helicopter raised off the Roof top

Romescu leaned over to the pilots

"Take us 5 kilometers outside Berezin I have a villa there, we should be safe!" Romescu said then he started contacting diferent government officials and mayors of cities to get the situation, the line was all the same
"Whats the situation like there!? are there demonstrations, are the people content?" Romescu would shout into the phones

The helicopter flew over the suburbs of Berezin, there was less activity and damage in these areas but Securiforce agenst could be scene walking down the street. then one of the officials leaned over to Romescu

"Sir the foriegn journalists that attended todays parade are still there in Berezin the whole world will know what is going on here!"

Romescu sat silent pretending he couldnt hear what the man had just said, but the look on his face suggested he heard him perfectly.......

Back at the port where the defecting ships had docked and the calizoristan ships that accompanied them. Captain Alinciau followed the rest of his crew, he felt so free, for once he could walk around without any suspicion people were watching him, it was a great feeling. then Jack ran down from a ship and caught up with Alinciau on the land

"Hello" Alinciau said in suprise "what can i help with?" .......

Meanwhile 5 kilometers outside Berezin at one of Romescu's luxurious villa's the helicopter had landed in the back lawn. The 8 other officials, pilots and Romescu were all inside, they had gotten news that Berezin was completely controlled by revolutionaries, the demonstrators had occupied the news agency and the presidential palace and the Romescu appreciation museum had been sacked, the army had sided with the demonstrators. The securiforce agenst and other fanatics continued to stay loyal but their activities were not as violent and now they were being hunted. strikes and demonstrations had engulfed the whole city.

Romescu for the last 5 hours had been desperatly trying to contact Fien but it seems Fien had formed his own side and had cut contact with Romescu, and Prime Minister Truka had also joined with the demonstrators and had now formed a temprary provisional government that had declared they have temporarily taken control they were called "The Council for the Reconstruction of Lerasia" or the CRL

a 2 pilots walked up to Romescu

"Mr president, we have to go to the Helicopter to prep it, we can travel to the Military base in Govista 40 km north"

"NO! everyone is against me, the military, Truka, even Fien! we will wait here!"

"But sir if the military has turned against us then they will certainly come for us here!"

"Fine!" Romsecu snapped "get the helicopter!" the two pilots wlaked out of the room.

Ont he back lawn the pilots began to run the engines
"we have to lose Romescu!" said one of the pilots "He'll drag us down with him if we dont lose him so lets head to Govista"

but at the sound of the engines running Romescu and is entuorage of 8 other government officials came running out of the Villa, they ran as fast as they could to get to the Helicopter

"What are you two doing!" Romescu yelled "you thought you could leave us for dead! get us out of here, fly us to the securiforce base 38 km north east from here!"

The helicopter raised off the ground, one government minister leaned over to the pilots "Dont you think you'll have to face the consequences of your actions!?"

The pilot replied "We all have to do that some day"

The helicopter flew north east in accordance with romescu's wishes.....

Huyt smiled. This was going to be a good day.

"So Romescu has been removed I see. A nationwide manhunt is being conducted and already a temporary government has been established. However Romescu still needs to be brought to justice. Contact the new government of Lerasia"




To the CRL,

We of Londim offer support to aide your nation and cut out the Romescu supporters and indeed find Romescu. If you accept our offer for help we will help find Romescu alive and allow you to try him for the criminal he has become. We will also send monetary aide to help finance projects to rebuild your nation.

Premier Huyt,
The Communist State of Londim.

Cap.Jack told Cap.Aliescu, "all you need to do, is we are finishing stowing the helicopters away, and they told me they needed more assistance doing that. After that, I think to celebrate your new-found freedom, we should go to the Naval Station BOQ and have some lunch, I'll show you the way to stowing the helicopters away on the R.C.S Mira Mesa, then I'll give you a little tour of the ship." They walked onboard the R.C.S Mira Mesa, towards where the helicopters were, "All we need to do, is to basicly push it in, 95% of the saliors have left to go home, so they needed our assistance here."

Minister House:

There was a private meeting held in the Prime Minister's office, several military officers were there along with the Foreign Affairs Minister and other members of the administration. "Alright let's not beat around the bush, should we help or not?"
"Yes we should Prime Minister, We have to help these people get there nation back on track." said Richard Saben the F.A Minister.
"I agree sir, these people have suffered under this terrible ruler, and they deserve a second chance." The PM quickly decided to assist Lerasia, "Alright then lets do it, let’s just hope the same thing doesn't happen like the last time we assisted a troubled nation." A message was quickly sent to the new Lerasian government.

OOC: Sorry for the short post, its late here and I'm tired.

The leader of the CRL, former Prime minister Truka read the messages coming in from other nations


To all the world leaders

Lerasia's economy is ruined thanks to Romescu's disasterous policies. Now the nation is free. we need the international communities help in guiding Lerasia on the path to Democracy and a fuctioning economy. We would appreciate any kind of aide, at the moment a couple of securiforce agenst and Romescu Fanatics are continually causing violence in the city but most of them are fleeing across the border. at present Romescu's location is unknown but it is suspected he might try to flee to Skgorria in Exile

thank you

Truka Doleshcu, leader of the CRL

in the helicopter the pilots were now more than ever desperate to lose Romescu

"Mr President!" said one of the pilots
"We have flown to high, we are in danger of being shot down by revolutionaries we have to land now!"

Romescu looked very frightened
"Fine Land!"

the helicopter landed next to a highway, they were 4 Kilometers from the Securiforce Compound.
Romescu and the 8 other officials exited the helicopter
the two pilots stayed in the helicopter
"Romescu we have to stay are guard the helicopter"

"NO! if we let you go then who will protect us!"
one of the government officials spoke

"Romescu who cares we have to get to the Securifoce compound, lets wave down a car"

The two helicopter pilots then started up the helicopter and flew as fast as they could away from the area, The pilots then contacted the nearest military base and repoted the location, in the small town of Govstas 45 km north of Berezin

Romescu and the 8 other officials then waved down a red, clapped out station wagon, there was only enough room for 4 other people

Romescu then opened the door to the vehicle
"Let us in, I am the President of Lerasia, Take us to the securiforce Compound!" The driver looked horrified!

"Yes sir but there is only enough room for 3 other people plus yourself"

"Dont worry, Romescu we will wave down another car" said one of the government officials

10 minutes passed and Romescu entered the Compound, It was abandoned, it appeared the Securiforce went on a purge of all the information the compound held and then vacated the town and fled, Shreded confidential files lay strew over the floor.

"What is this! now Fien has turned against me, Securiforce and the army have turned against me!" Romescu yelled

A helicopter and military vehicles pulled into the yard, they stormed into the Securiforce compound and captured Romescu and the 3 other officials

"Soldiers what is the meaning of this! I am Romescu, president of Lerasia!"

"Romescu you will be detained and then forced to stand trial for crimes against the people, we will take you into our custody"

"You cant do this to me! Romescu yelled"

"Tomorrow the trial will begin" said the general

for the night Romescu was put in a barracks room to stay with one soldier guarding him, he complained about everything.

"WHAT IS THIS, you cant call this food!"

"Its what we eat in the army, sir" said the soldier on guard

"Dont give me that CRAP! this area of Lerasia is supose to have the finest bread in all the country!"

then hours later Romescu then changed his tune and spoke in a soft and calm voice to the Guard

"It must be a hard life for you, yes? I can help you, I have hundreds of thousands of Leras, stashed away, I can tell you where it is and you can take as much as you want, those Leras could certainly help your life, yes? all you have to do is get me out of here!"

The soldier looked astonished but did not communicate back or give a reply, for the rest of the night Romescu complained more about the most simplist of things

"This rooms to dark! Why am I being detained against my will! I want to speak to my staff! Dont expect me to use that awful toilet!.......



An official Message from leader of the CRL, Truka Doleshcu
To the International Community

We now have Romescu in our custody, we will give him a quick and speedy trial, This may not be fair but we have to hold it as soon as possible to help get the Securiforce under control, Fien head of the securiforce is still at large but it is suspected he is either fled across the border or is in the countryside causing violence with the loyalists, The CRL has taken temporary control and Lerasia's FIRST, FREE ELECTIONS will take place in a couple of months, next month if possible, we need all the international communities support in this new era of Lerasia!

[OOC: Hey, I'm having alot of fun reading this RP, keep it up!]

Samantha was walking in the market that morning, or was it the other morning. Too much had happened since then. She had been on spring vacation from college. So, as her father had insisted, she went somewhere that was safe, full of eyes watching everyone. She guessed that was the reason why all of this had happened. Before she knew it she was being swept away by an angry mob towards the city's government buildings. She was scared.

She forced herself to attempt to push through the crowd but it wasn't working. Some one was trying to say something over the crowd. Suddenly there was gunfire. People around her started scream and fall.

She felt something warm drizzle down her blouse. As she looked down she noticed the glistening red blood oozing out of a gaping wound in her chest. She couldn't breathe, she gasped for air. Then, darkness started to fall around her. The ground starting to come closer to her. All she could think, all that she could cling to was something that her father said.

"If you are ever in trouble, flash that tag I gave you"

As she slowly slid out of the waking world what little strength that she had left pulled a small green tag with a green-white-orange flag on it.

On it it said.

O Boyce National passport
Samantha Plantir
Father: Tar-Plantir, President
Aproval number 669343
Soc. Security 780-90-983

Truka, Leader of the newly former CRL, the temporary government of Lerasia appeared on live TV all over Lerasia

"We have freed oursleves from Romescu's Iron Grip, we are all free, Already we have renamed some of our land marks

Romescu square is now called Revolution square
the Tower of Romescu thought is now called Freedom Tower
and Romescu Appreciation center is now called the Romescu Era Museum

we have also opened our borders, now we have fully legalized free travel both into and out of Lerasia, we are encourgaged people to set up independent news papers, old Romescu era school text books are now being modified, and a Free election will take place next month on the 20th May
Citizens are free to start up their own independent parties, from now Lerasia will tase pure democracy and we will never forget this moment and we will embrace freedom, we will learn from our mistakes" then Truka ended his speech with the slogan

"Never, Never another Romescu!"


Mean while in the abandoned Securiforce compound, turned makeshift courtroom, Romescu was isolated from the outside world and from the other government officials, his trial would begin tomorrow

I should have fleed to Skgorria while i had the chance! he thought

Now that Romescu was deposed his image was removed from all public view, his staues were immediatly removed and his portraits were torn down, government billbords were also getting stripped clear. The mood in Berezin was estatic, People could finally speak freely, they spoke of their personell horrors they experienced from crossing the old regime, all political prisoners were immediatly freed and long banned literature was now appearing in book shops after only 2 days. all the fanatics had given up and now the Capital was safe from Securiforce attack. there was still no word from Fien.....

The victims of the brutal suppression were being rounded up off the street and were moved into hall's and laid out in public square, now was the hard long process of Identifying all the victims, allready it was estimated 8,900 were killed in Kanostas and 12,100 were estimated to be killed in Berezin.

Alltogether from official securiforce documents over 5 million people died from 1981-2007 in the old regime, But these documents were now under the control of the new CRL government and they were very reluctant to release these documents to the public, This caused a lot of tension in the New Government, Truka was after all the former prime minister that served under Romescu since 2004, he was still stuck in a Romescu Mentality, while other CRL members protested by saying

"we kicked out Romescu but still this doesnt feel any different, release these documents now!"

Camera's were still banned from parliament meetings so everything the CRL debated was completely secret and hidden from the public's view. but what was on every Lerasian's mind was

"Where is Romescu?" (The CRL have not released any information to the public regarding Romescu's trial or where abouts due to a risk of a Securiforce raid on the Compound trying to rescue him)

It was very early in the morning, The morning was very cold and it was foggy outside, Romescu was brought into the main room that had been make into a shabby court room, some seats were say up against the west wall, 2 tables moved into a triagular shape where Romescu was to sit in was against the east wall, the windows were blacked out and the double door on the North wall were closed, to the southern was once a solid metal door that lead out into a back courtyard.

3 soldiers led him into the seat behind the triagular formation of the tables
"Get your hand off me, you traitors!" Romescu snarled, he sat in the chair

A group of senior CRL members entered from the North wall's double doors and sat against the chairs on the Western wall. one, smart looking man, lookeing very pleased with himself spoke to the CRL members and told them to be seated

A Camera and all the filming equipment sat near the CRL members pointing at Romescu

Thes smug looking man in a flash, civilian suite then turned over to the camera which was now operating
"Hello, I am Alia Poca, I will be the Prosecuter for this trail"

Alia walked over to Romescu
"Mr Romescu...........

The Prosecuter was interupted by Romescu yelling

"I REFUSE to recognise this court! I dont recognise you! I will only speak infront of the Lerasian Assembly back in Berezin!"

The prosecuter turned back to the CRL members sitting against the wall with a huge smirk on his face

"In the same way he refused to speak and recognise the people, He now refuses to recognise us! He claimed that from 1981 he worked for the people, loved the people, was a beloved father to the people and Great son of Lerasia but in fact he tyranised the people! threw this nation back to the stone ages, horded millions of government money......

Romescu once again interupted

"WHAT IS THIS!" Romescu yell "So your only here to Crusify me!"

The Prosecuter turned back to Romescu
"Mr Romescu please speak in your own turn"

"HOW DARE YOU ADRESS Me LIKE THIS! I am the President of Lerasia! I will speak when I want! This is a coup de etat! what patriots are you!"

just then a small woman sitting amoungst the CRL spoke

"Mr Prosecuter ask Romescu if he is aware he is no longer President.....

Romescu then began to yell
"I repeat: I am the President of Lerasia and Commander of the Armed forces!"

"Mr Romescu you have been charged with Crimes against the people, Genocide throughout Lerasia, acts that were incompatable with human dignity, you behaved in a despotic way, Underminning of the Economy, embezzlement and the destruction of Lerasia's archetecual heritage in Berezin, The penalty for these crimes is the Death sentence, Mr Romescu do you under stand the charges"

Romescu: "I don not answer! I will only answer to the Lerasian Assembly back in Berezin, these cahrges are completely false I will not answer questions here!".......

OOC: if you want you can take the role of a CRL member sitting against the wall that can ask the prosecuter of deposed dictator a question, keep in mind that if i'm off line dont expect an answer sraight away, i'm also thinking weather i should make Romescu's trial a sperate thread?

To The CRL,

Londim is willing to offer $2 Billion in the reconstruction of the Lerasian economy. Also some of our own companies are interested in setting up offices within Lerasia, which would create jobs and a more stable economy. We also open our borders to any Lerasian so willing to vist our nation.

Premier Huyt
The Socialist State of Londim

The Lerasian Government greatfully accepts your generous offer, since the revolution a new law was introduced that it will lower the taxes of foriegn businesses in a way to stimulate foriegn investments,
we wish to revive Lerasia and your foriegn investment is desperatly needed, your companies are welcome,
open up a tourist resort, machinery manufactouring factory, anything, Lerasia is now free and open to foriegn business

(OOC: I have decided to make Romescu's trial a seperate thing so if you want to see Romescu's trial go to that forum, this forum will be for current events happening at the moment in lerasia)

To: The Government of the CRL
From: Natalka Kateryna
Re: Reconstruction, Investment, and Foreign Aid

Greetings, I represent the Armed Republic of Mer des Ennuis, and we have been following your situation for some time now. On behalf of the Republic, I congratulate you on your revolution and wish you the best of luck.

The Armed Republic has long-ago abandoned monetary donations, finding them useless with little return on investment. We do, however, greatly favor direct foreign investment. Global Tetrahedron Inc., has agreed to invest twenty billion Denarii in your nation. As you are undoubtedly aware, this corresponds to 207,746,901,600 Leras, or 40% of your nation’s GDP. Global Tetraherdon, however, has expressed several reservations about your nation.

Your nation recently went through a revolution, and the new government has not put forth any concrete roadmaps on economic reform. Revolutionary nations are prone to adopting “bad” institutions, such as corruption, lack of rule of law, etc. In backing GTI, The Armed Republic makes the following, simple demands: the Army of the Armed republic be allowed to control one (1) city until a legitimate civilian police force can be raised; an official of the Armed Republic be permitted to sit on the Jury. We also wish that Mr. Romescu be deported to Mer des Ennuis to sit in the currently empty “Museum of Deposed Dictator’s” at the Arch Arsonist’s pleasure.

To the most esteemed government of Lerasia, I would like to formally congradulate you for your recent overthrough of a dictatorship regeme. It is a great undertaking and we applaud you on how relativly bloodless it was compared to some that have happend over the years across the world.

We had an emergency session of the governing body to about this and we have come to the conclusion that we are willing to help. We are willing to donate 400 million dollars and if needed we are willling on sending aid in the form of mobile hospitals.

On a different note, I am ashamed to say this but I have not heard from my daughter in some days. She was a student there at one of the universitys studying civil engineering with the esteemed professor Greer. I guess I am just being a worried father, but if you could look into the matter for me it would be greatly appreciated.

To foriegn governments around the world from the CRL in Berezin

Mer des Ennuis I am sorry but we have to decline our offer, with revolution we fear people will try to take advantage of us and a military occupied city seems the start of something we dont trust, also Romescu is undergoing a trail by the Lerasian people, we shall judge him. You are welcome to take some of his fallen statues and portraits to put in that museum.

To O Boyce, we have lost contact with your daughter, her whereabouts after the revolution is unknown, so far we are 40% of the way to indetifying all the victims, We are also speaking to her university professors and classmates to see if we can get some information.

An offical report by the CRL about the current situation in Lerasia and law changes

The parliament of Lerasia is split over the Descision to turn the CRL into a political party that will take place next month.

Promises had been made that the CRL would not transform into a political party and it was a temporary arrangement but the government is now shocked that the CRL has announced it will stand in next months election as an independent party.

A small demonstration has already taken place in Revolution square involving a group of students protesting that the CRL ixs made up of old officials from the old government and is calling for them to resign.

The students were however rounded up and arrested, they were released 1 hours later though.......

(Current news from Lerasia)

both foriegn journalists and Lerasian journalists were on the streets throughout Berezin questioning the people on the present situation in their country.

A Lerasian, male reporter and a camera man walked up to a man waiting in a food line. The man had a thick bushy maustache and worn clothing

Reporter "Sir, May we ask you some questions about the situation in Lerasia?"

The man shrugged

Reporter: "Sir what is your name, and occupation?"

Vasile: "Vasile Ropec, I work at a machinery manufacture factory"

Reporter: "Well Vasile what is your current view on Romescu's trial and the revolution?"

Vasile: "Its great! that bastard is gone! I bet every Lerasian would have loved to be apart of that firing squad! finally we did it!"

Reporter: "And what part did you play in the revolution?"

Vasile: "well about 2 hours into the Berezin demonstrations our entire factory went on strike, we then joined in the demonstrations an hour later"

Reporter: "and what about the economic situation?"

Vasile: "I've lived on less then 100 Leras a month under Romescu, but its to soon to the economic situation now"

Reporter: "And what about the CRL what do you think of them"

Vasile: "Hah! Truka what a prick! he thinks we dont realize he served as Romescu's Prime Minister for 2 years! but i guess this is still a break through in Reforms for Lerasia"

Reporter: "and what do you think of the CRL deciding to form into a political party and will stand in next months election"

Vasile: "they were all Romescu's puppets, i think we will all laugh when they promise reforms and they speak of democracy, it makes me sick!"

Reporter: "Thank you for your time Vasile"

The reporter and camera man left the food line and walked down the street to find another citizen............

President Tar-Plantir's helicopter thundered along the tarmac of the airport. His mind swimming with thoughts about his daughter. He was really worried. One week his daughter is attending class one day and the next she is missing. He had made the decision to go to Leraisa to find her against the wishes of his aides.

The piolot was just as worried, more about landing in a nation that was still in turmoil, than about the presidents wife.

"This is OBOYCE ONE on approach, permission to land"

Of course you have permission to land, Mr President

Truka contacted the President of O Boyce

"Hello Mr president, you have taken us all here by suprise. We have hundreds of people working seacrhing all the people that have gone missing in this hectic time, your daughter is top of the priority, you may stay in the Presidential palace if you want.

Truka was then contacted on his phone

"Sir, We have identified the body of a girl she was holding a tag
that identified her as Samantha Plantir the daughter of The President of O Boyce"

"Oh crap! what do we say? hmmm how do we tell him such a thing!? well i guess i'll greet him and then tell him on his landing"...

The helicopter hovered over the hard top as pitched and yawed as the heavy wind buffeted the vehicle. The president was finding the new government much more pleasant than the original government.

"Hold on Mr president" The pilot yelled over the roar of the thundering rotars.

Slowly the helicopter began it's decent, bouncing once, twice before making permanant contact with the ground. As the engine died the president hopped out and began walking toward a waiting car that he had ordered from a rent-car place.

As he enterd the car, his family freind, the pilot of the helicopter joined him, leaving the co pilot to take care of the helo.

The car pulled away from the airport and began the long journey to the presidential palace where he would begin his search, he would hope that he and his freind Jack would be able to find some kind of clue. It was a risk letting her go to school out of the nation, but Tar-Plantir always was one to spoil his daughter.

He opened his phone and called the Lerasia presidentail palace.

"Hello, I would love to stay in such a wonderfull structure. I hate to impose, so you do not have to exstend any type of diplomatic actions, I understand that me being here is a bit of a suprise, but I am just here to find my daughter, not a foreign dignitary..........Once again, thank you, you are truly a kind man"

Truka phoned up the president personally
"Ugh, Mr President meet me in the Presidential palace, we have found your daughter........um.......well we need you to identify the body"
Truka had no idea what he would say in such a circumstance, Truka just waited on the phone for his response.............

The words rang in the air. "Body" Tar-Plantir thought. She was dead. How could it of happened. Tears began to roll down his face very quickly. He stifled them and composed himself.

"Yes, I will be there momentarily. That is very unfortunate."

He hung up the phone. He spent the rest of the cold car ride through the darkened city in silence. He did not know what to say. He was spechless. His beloved Samantha was gone. How could it of happened, was she caught in the chaos, was she dragged out of her dorm? These questions burned into his thoughts.

The car came up to the palace. As he stepped out he could still smell the burning buildings, the sweet sickly smell of blood. Someone had not bothered of wiping the blood out of the square in front of the palace where it was rumored to have had the worst of the chaos. He shrugged it off and was lead by a guard into the building. Even in here, what was the grand palace looked slightly ransacked.

As he entered a cold back room, he saw several men standing near the door. A table in the middle of the room had a covered body on it. He knew this was the place. He quickly introduced himself and walked over to the body, tears now slowly welling in his eyes. Were they of anger? Were they of sadness? he couldn't tell. He turned to one of the men in the room who looked like he was in charge.

"How did she go?" He stammered "What was the cercumstance of her death"

Truka answered Tar-Plantir

"I'm so sorry but it appears she was shot in Revolution square, by the Securiforce agents in the early hours of the Revolution, I..I'm so sorry"

Truka walked over to the covered body, with a white sheet draped ove the body.....

"Thank you, I will take her home and we will have a grand funeral. Sooner than me and my people would have thought, but it must be done. Thank you once again, you have won a freind in the O Boyce government"

Tar-Plantir exited the room and started to make arrangements for the body to be taken home.
The entire way home, he sat next to her body, he was with it all the way to the grand funeral, something that had not been seen in a century because four generations of the Roal family, which has been the Plantir family for hundreds of years, elected by the people to rule, were still alive.

And as he stood at the podium in front of hundreds of cameras, millions of people, and billions of viewers. He composed himself.

//Transmission via O Boyce CENTCOM/HIGHCOM//
//INTERNATIONAL TELIVISION//

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the O Boyce, of Larasia, and of the world. Two days ago, the princess of O Boyce, Samantha Plantir was killed during the rioting during the Larasia revolution. A sad day for us all.

As we all know, the price of freedom is not free, and in some cases not even bloodless. These proud people took up their arms in the name of freedom, and in the event many innocent people lost their lives. Now even though their nation was in turmoil, the Larasian leaders still found time to help me in the search of my daughter. They found her, and exspressed their sincere sadness in the matter. They made freinds of me, the people of O Boyce, and undoubtably the trust of many in their already problemed nation.

So today, for the first time in a century, we are here to commit the body and soul of Princess Samantha Plantir to the halls of our forefathers, into the hall of Erin, high above us. So, as the many before her, she now begins her great journey into the heavans."

The camera pans out to reveal a large wooden tower surrounded by flowers, pictures, and many handwritten notes. Atop the tower was a tightly wrapped bodice, encased within a lidless box of shamrock wood. Ornately dressed guards walked forward with torches and lit the bottom of the tower. Flames began to spread.

"As our forefathers before, Samantha, I, your father, commit you to the heavens with the prayers of many people.

I stand here before the world, as a father, and as a freind, I announce the passing of a great. May the gods bless you all"

//end television transmission//

people all over O Boyce, Larasia, and the world were glued to the telivion sets as the regularly scedualed programs began to run. Many had tears, many were angry, but for the most, they were touched.

These aid workers will have armed UMI-SU's aka "Ustian Military Industries Security Units" which will provide protection for the Aid workers and distribution of supplies. These men are not apart of the Ustian Military; they are members of the UMI's Military Service Providing Sector or MSPS. Even though these men are pretty much Mercenaries they are still held to the same standards, as regular Military Personal and I will assure you any violations by the SU's will not be tolerated by either UMI or the Ustian Government. If and when you accept this aid it can be immediately provided within a few hours. To help with the distribution we would appreciate an airfield close by a city, particularly Kanosta considering it was hit pretty hard during the violence. We would also like to know if you need assistance in finding and detaining Fien considering he might become a big threat to your newfound freedom in the near future. If you accept we can provide are finest Special Forces and they will find him.

Berezin, UBC broadcast:

"Hello my fellow Ustians its good to be back on the air after these recent events in Lerasia." As the reporter also known as "Max" started you could notice the UMI-SU's (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/nn_myers_contractors_050215.jpg) in the background, caring M468's (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/SI-11-4L.jpg) and HK4-16's (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/416poster14.jpg). (Not used by Ustian military) They looked like they had been threw hell and back, some of them had blood coming down from there head's, others clothing were all reaped up and dirtied while even more hand bandages along various parts of there body's. Max continued with his report, "I will be continuing this report as the situation develops here in Lerasia Courtney. One of my top stories will most likely be the Lerasian election that will come up in about a month among other issues. Wish everyone here good luck, now back to you Courtney."
"And were off the air, good broadcast Max."
"Yeah whatever."

Kanosta:

Throughout all of these events the ten-man Special Forces team had been there, observing everything that happened. It seemed after awhile that there mission might be finished soon and they could go home but that wasn't going to happen. One day when the four men were walking around the city they received a radio transmission in their ear radio's, "It's Michael, meet me in the square, we need to talk."
"Why can't we discuss it over the radio?" asked Dieter, leader of the Dark Agents in the team.
"Too important, someone might be listening."
"Alright, will be there." The four men walked to the square and immediately noticed Michael setting at a table with just enough chairs for them all. Only Dieter and his partner Mike took a seat, they other two stayed back just in case it was a trap or something. "So why did you bring us here?" asked Dieter, starting the conversion
"Were about to find out." He had a laptop with him, it seemed like he was waiting for something.

Re: Reconstruction, Investment, and Foreign Aid

We are pleased to see that the horrible Mr. Romescu has been dealt with in the most fitting of ways. We are, however, saddened to see that your nation has declined the initial offer from Global Tetrahedron.

The death of the O Boycen princess merely highlights the lack of security in your nation. Securiforce units are still reported to be running amok, and the death toll climbs higher every day. Lack of economic has stymied your country, and news reports indicate that your party does not enjoy popular support. Mer des Ennuis and Global Tetrahedron can help, and we believe that the port city of Kanostas to be the perfect city to overhaul into the “Jewel of Lerasia.”

We understand that you feared a large army landing on your shores that might threaten your revolution. Rest assured that Mer des Ennuis has a solid history of nation-building, as evidenced by the war of Pythogria. In addition to, as a token of good faith, setting up an embassy in Kanostas, the Armed Republic wishes only to send the 350th Light Division, a mere 17,000 men under the command of Major General Agnese Marya, to ensure the safety of the citizenry of the city, as well Ennusian contractors. They would naturally, for the duration of any Lerasian tour, work under the banner of the CRL. We estimate that, within a year, Kanostas will be a case study in proper post-rebellion reconstruction.

In addition to the natural boost in popular support that comes from running water, power, and economic growth, GTI finds that an investment in Capital is useless without an suitable investment in Government. GTI has deep pockets, and is more than willing to finance your party through the difficult time of nation building. Just as you don’t trade a horse mid-gallop, you don’t trade a government during a major time of crisis.

Please consider this offer, your people will be better from it.

From The Government of the CRL

to Viktor Krzysztof we accept your offer. Our party needs funding, we need foriegn investment and we need to deal with the few fanatics that are left. We thouht the death of Romescu might have stoped them but it appears Fien has taken control and now they fight for him. We accept all of your offers

OOC: I'ld like to get involved helping Fein but I don't want to hijack your post... just let me know.

OOC: This is open to anybody.

Think of it as a real life events, if your government wants to help him then they would, they wouldnt have to ask permission. and to anybody that has their own views or actions on what will happen just get involved how you would in the real life, this is open to all. I hope everyone is enjoying it though

The official representative from Droskianishk walked down a long corridor to meet with Mr. Fein, the representative knew that the has-been official probably would lose his war against the people but it was his duty to provide whatever assistance would be possible.

"Hello Mr. Asdind" came a voice as the representative came in through the door. Mr. Fein sat behind the large oak desk with guardsd behind him appeared very official, he rose slowly and calmly and leaned over the desk to shake hands with the representative from Droskianishk.

"Mr. Fein lets get down to business. I've been authorized to sell you the Droskianishk A1 (ooc:an M4) as well as the EO2 (Zeus rockets) and provide whatever assistance and training you need. However we will not be providing any troop support the Consul dos not want to turn this into an international circus, the more controlled the situation the more likely we believe it is for you to win the war." stated the representative as he sat down.

"Don't presume to lecture me on the war in my own country" snapped the authoritarian rebel " your not the one with your life on the line, nor the one that will actually be fighting the war. Just because I have no other options but to rely on an outside source forsupport doesn't mean I'll let you tell me how to win my war." he finished with a sly smile and cruel eyes.

The representative noded soberly as he slid paperwork across the desk...

OOC: Lerasia just wanted you to know that in IC I sent your country a message in my last post. Been waiting for a response to it, also I added something on to it.

To the government of Ustia

your aide is much needed

we still have massive food shortages in the country, Lerasia is famine threatened, there are long lines of people waiting for goods and food
Power blackouts happen regulary AND the last remnants of Romescu fanatics and Loyal securiforce is tearing up the countryside.

From the CRL back in Berezin

meanwhile in the nation of Droskianishk, Fien had just got the support of their nation, he contacted one of the senior securiforce agents on the phone

"Milea! I want you to give me a report on the situation in Lerasia!"
on the other end Milea replyed

"Mr Goreda the situation in Lerasia is terrible! foriegn peace keepers are on their way into the country and securiforce agents are either fleeing to the cities to lead a normal life or are fleeing over the border, also President Romescu was executed on Friday"

"Hah! Milea i was in Droskianishk, i wasnt hiding in a hole! I saw everything, I know what happend to Romescu!"

"So Mr Goreda, we are turning against Truka?"

"I always hated that rat! my only regreets was that i didnt convince Romescu to purge him earlier! yes he is the enemy now!"

Fien hung up and put his cell phone in his pocket, he then stolled down the hall way....

As the C-130's roared over the Lerasia countryside, low to the ground to avoid any detection by radar however unlikely that would be in this underdeveloped nation. Captain Kurni of the Droskianishk Air Legion chatted with his navigator Sergeant Askin. "So Sergeant, what do you happen to think of our little escapade here tonight?" questioned the Captain a bit hesitantly as this was an extremely loaded question after the dissimilation of the Senate and the strengthening of the Consul; already many hundreds if not thousands of Legionaires had been arrested and imprisoned on charges of treason and subterfuge.

"Not much Captain, I couldn't care one bit about this shithole, but if the Consul believes it's important it is beyond me to question."

The captain nodded knowingly, he thought the mission was FUBAR and would cause more ruckus for the nation below, but perhaps that was the Consul's intent, all the captain knew was that he was to drop the humanitarian aid canisters which contained amongst the food and medical aid, weapons and a propaganda note. He didn't know how many planes were flying sorte's tonight but he figured the plan was to cover the entire country with their message and weapons, a quick and somewhat underhanded way of distributing arms to the populace.

"Alright lets drop 'em" called out the captain as he heard the canisters roll out the back of the plane.

As tens of thousands of canisters fell out of planes all over Lerasia fell to the earth, crashing through roofs and into fields people came out of their homes and their beds, as late as it was, 12:10 am, to open the canisters and find in many cases the answers to their prayers for food and medicine, but also something else. A message that read:

"People of Lerasia are you better off now that Romescu is gone? Are you better off in a nation of continuous struggle and contest, where an elite few make the decisions and you are left to rot and struggle against thieves and terrorists? Take this food and medicine and use it to better your life, take the weapons and ammunition and use them to better your life and regain control our great nation!" -President Fien

Elsewhere while the canisters fell...


International Affairs Liason Killok awaited for the arrival of 'President' Fien in his office at the International Affairs building in Drosk, he had invited the ruffian to discuss the conduct and future of the struggle in Lerasia. He knew his career rode on the back of this war, already the Liasons of Security and Military Affairs had been replaced by Consul Kutz's family members, his job was now on the line to go to the younger neice of the Consul; unless he could win this conflict. Whatever winning meant.

The doors to the International Affairs Liason swung open as 'President' Fien entered the room with a dashing cavalier mood to him.

"Sit" ordered the Liason he was in no mood for a deposed cabinent members pompus. "As we speak Droskianishk is holding up part of our deal, we are delivering means for the war and hopefully enough means to spark a civil war. However the Consul as well as myself doubt your ability to win the war in Lerasia unless you yourself are present to lead the people. Thats why we are sending you first class via helicopter, your training camps here in Droskianishk will be allowed to operate as long as they are not discovered by the peacekeepers in Lerasia and we have been using planes disguised as international aid vehicles. Within the next week we will be opening diplomatic relations with the CRL and use that as cover to move more arms and troops to Lerasia for the war effort."

"But if I am slain then you lose a hefty investment in the loss of an ally." protested Fien fiercly. "The people won't respond well if they think your setting up a puppet regime, they'll unify and you'll lose all hope of success there."

"All the more reason that I suggest you don't die Mr. Fien. The CRL are willing to get their hands dirty in the field, you must as well. You'll have the proper protection and support, but you must be more involved."

"But.."

The Liason raised his hand. "You have 2 days to contact me on the mode of transportation."

...

“Move!” Shouted the major of the 52nd Light Company of the 350th, sent to purge the city of Kanostas of the infidel Securiforce.

“Covering fire!” shouted a specialist, his m249 chattering across the concrete dividers, pinning a group of Securiforce agents and armed Romescu loyalists.

Charged with securing the western district of the port city, the three companies of , resistance had been heavy… to a degree. Most of the Securiforce had either gone into hiding or had laid down their arms, while the few fanatics that remained loyal to the dead ideas of Romescu fought on.

More gun fire erupted, and the Ennusian force, bearing both the banner of the Armed Republic and the CRL, silenced the rebels with heavy mortar fire.

“Area secure” reported the Major over the secure com-link, kicking the spent casings idly. A pair of GF-02 Fighter/Bombers, deployed from the 24th Amphibious Assault Group securing Kanostas’s harbor, flew overhead, ready to provide air support if necessary. The 52nd, like the other assault units, were paving the way for Military Intelligence and Engineering units, who were conducting preliminary repairs and a public relations campaign.

Back at the docks, pallets of Denarii were unloaded along with heavy GTI wrecking equipment. At least four-dozen factories had been slated for purchase, and a sight for a large, natural-gas fired power-plant had been surveyed to produce 2,000 megawatts. As a stop-gap measure, fifteen heavy natural gas turbines, each capable of producing 70,000 KW and usually tasked with providing backup power for military operation, were being deployed.

Though GTI intended to only invest $20,000,000,000 Denarii, Hyperinflation had hit Lerasia. What was once 40% of the country’s GDP had now swelled to 7 times the net value of the country itself. At the 48 factories initially chosen to undergo modernization, workers would be paid the princely sum of two denarii a day, and they’d be making double that of their countrymen.

With fears that the country would collapse on itself, Administrator of Kanostas Willard Turing, appointed by General Adam Wincenty to pacify the city and to keep the country of Lerasia in line with the wills of Ennusian investors, walked into the CRL headquarters, surrounded by a small phalanx of Ennusian soldiers, with a GTI representiative and a small, thin attaché case, demanding to speak with the presidential candidate of the CRL.

*SECRET TRANSMISSION TO CRL*
From: Republic of Ustia

The aid is on the way; the first wave of aid workers and UMI-SU's will arrive at Kanosta airport within a few hours. After we set up shop the aid will begin to flow. While the aid workers handle food, water and medical care are Corp of Engineers will handle the power crisis and rebuilding efforts.

Loading complete....
Sending message....

Few hours later, above Kanosta airport:

Up above the C-17's were coming in to land, supporting them were the old but battle proven AH-1Z Super Cobra's (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/UMI-MSPS/ah-1z_3.jpg) of MSPS (Also not used by Ustian military, they basically get all of the old stuff but there still kick ass gear.) They patrolled around the perimeter of the airport making sure it was safe to land. At the same time Blackhawk’s (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/UMI-MSPS/uh60_blackhawk_sfor.jpg) of MSPS were deploying SU's in a four-corner defense perimeter around the airport, MSPS would make sure the airport was secure. Finally the C-17's started to touchdown on the tarmac. Aid workers, supplies and vehicle's flowed out of the transport aircraft as they came to halt. Everything was running smoothly as supplies and personnel went into motion. Immediately the Aid workers and Engineers started setting up the base of operations, within a few hour's the defensive perimeter around the airport would be complete and the base complete with a Hospital, barracks, supply storage and so on would be finished and operational.

Waters around Lerasia:

The Ustian Navy started patrolling the waters of Lerasia, there goal was to stop shipment of weapons and supply's to the loyalist inside the country, Meanwhile Naval aircraft began conducting combat patrols around Lerasia to stop shipment's from the air. Any vessel that was heading towards Lerasian ports would be searched by Ustian Marines to check for illegal cargo while accurate logs would be kept of aircraft that were allowed into the country.

Kanosta, square:

A message was received on Michael's laptop, "Alright we have new orders, we are tasked with detaining Fien." He said it in German, a little trick that they used just incase someone was listening in. "It also say's we need to head to the airport for further information." (Still in German.) So the ten Special Forces headed out towards Konasta airport to be briefed on their new mission.

“What?!?” screamed Maj. Gen Agnese Marya, upon hearing that Ustians had ‘secured’ the airport. “Do they even know that we’re here? Wasn’t the airport the first place we secured?”

“Negative, ma’am. The Airport was secured at 0445 by the 4th and 5th Infantry Companies, as well as elements of the Divisional Air Defense.”, replied a Captain from the Divisional HQ.

“Goddamn incompetents. Lock down the airport. We will not allow anyone to enter or leave without our permission.” She looked across the room. “Is GTI landing anything?”

“Yes, ma’am! They have a flight of ten A-600 Belugas coming in to deliver turbines and fuel.”

“Damnit… give the order.”

“Yes ma’am!”

Re: Occupation of Kanostas

It has come to my attention that your army and navy have begun entering Kanostas. It has also come to our attention that you are unaware that Kanostas is currently being re-taken from rogue loyalist elements.

The Ennusian army has been deployed to Kanostas to secure the safety of Global Tetrahedron, Inc. contractors who are attempting to re-build the city. With the appearance of several attack helicopters and soldiers from your nation at Kanostas International Airport, I have ordered that the airport be locked down (ooc: by 400 men and associated air-defense personnel). If you wish to land supplies and aid by land or by sea, you will need clearance from Ennusian personnel.

“Fear Ensures Loyalty!”

"Come on lads!" shouted one of the Romescu loyalists," the new president, Mr. Fien, didn't send us these weapons for us to sit on." he continued as he picked up his AK74, provided by the Fien weapon canisters. Several others, he guessed around 40, followed him leaving the relative safety of the underground basement. As he arrived on the uppermost floor of the 3 story building he crouched and moved up to a window.

"Get two smoke and a two frag grenades ready," he whispered to the men following him, a few moments later he gave the signal and his men threw the grenades from the windows and moved into them and began firing on the Eunisian force below. He must fight thats all the Romescu loyalist knew, the knowledge that Fien had taken the presidency of Lerasia was enough to keep him fighting; his only hope was that enough of those canisters containing food,medicine, and weapons had made it into the right hands...

Economic advisers in the Palace of the people (former presidential palace) were in a frezy, they held reports of growing inflation, crumbling living standards. it seems the Revolution brought an exceleration to the deterioration. It was now reported that within a week Inflation would reach the record for the South American region. By Monday it will be estimated toi be growing by 1% every 10 minutes.

People rusehd to the banks to pull out all their life savings, money was now being printed that had expire dates on it. families went to the store to buy food with nags of money but after 40 minutes of standing in food lines would find that the price had bumped up 100% and they would have to scurry back home for more bags of money. The Lerasian state bank had now reporetd it has printed a Billion dollar bank note, this is about enough to buy a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk.

On the streets it was now filled with beggers and homeless people. Lerasia was heamoraging people daily. over 6000 people were fleeing daily because of the economic conditions. Pensioners were hit the hardest and now with Lerasia heading into winter it is feared there will be deaths due to the cold as the powerblackouts continue and the people on the street

meanwhile in Revolution square
Djiena Malore leader of the opposition and vocal critic of the CRL spoke to a rally of her supporters

"Lerasian's we are in trouble, Starvation threatens us, poverty is engulfing the nation, stability is collapsing but worst of all we are in danger of losing our freedom if we give in to radicalism.
A people that would sacrafice liberty for stability would deserve neither and lose both! We have to hang out the storm. the international world is helping us. This is a long hard process but we will overcome!"

just then a voice in the crowd spoke up

"Least under Romescu there was routine! we all knew that 1 Leras was worth 1 Leras, NOT 1 leras is worth shit! These Leras are only good for wiper your ass!"

But he no one objected to him, the crowd was silent, as it was the sad truth. Discontent was growing and the CRL responded by now allowing arrest without trial for Securiforce and Romescu loyalists suspects. the Internet was now blocking certain sites that held pro-Romescu views

Lerasia was slowly slipping into anarchy

Official Document from Droskianishk to the CRL Government


It is the sincere hope of Droskianishk that she can be of help to your nation in this moment of chaos and anarchy, if you would be so kind as to give us an embassy in your nation we would be more than happy to pay for it in full with humanitarian aid in the amount of 400 million ungaks (approx. $800 mill USD), unfortunately Droskianishk will not permitt the use of her soldiers in a civil war and thus will not be able to enforce any stability in Lerasia and can only hope that a more stable economic situation will lead to a more stable nation.

International Affairs Liason,
Mr. Killok

OOC: Umm....Mer des Ennuis, you do realize that you never said that you secured the airport in your post. The only parts of the city that you secured according to your last post was the western portion and the port, so considering you never said that you took over the airport I can assume it has not been secured. Saying you did after I posted doesn't make sense and allows me to IGNORE you. Your message to me makes you seem like an idiot considering your getting a lot of important facts wrong.

From: Republic of Ustia
To: Mer des Ennuis

I'm sorry to inform you about this but you seem to have us mistaken for someone else, No Ustian combat personnel have been deployed to Kanosta and no Ustian Naval vessel has entered Kanosta's port either. The only Ustian Military personnel currently deployed to Kanosta are Air Force transport crew's and Aid workers, Ustian naval vessel's are only patrolling around Lerasian waters to find any possible illegal shipment's of arms to the Loyalist in the country. No vessel has been in Kanosta's port since the start of the revolution in Lerasia. The armed men you see are employees of Ustian Military Industry’s Military Service Providing Sector or MSPS; even though they are under command of the Ustian Military they have no connection's with the Ustian Armed Forces what so ever. We are fully aware that Ennuisan forces have landed at Kanosta but we are at a lost as why you have surrounded the airport, we are here under approval of the CRL and are not a threat to your forces. Also you seem to act like your occupying Kanosta considering you have denied us are right to send supplies in to help needy Lerasian's in Kanosta unless we get your "approval". Last time we checked Kanosta was not apart of your nation, we were sent here to help Lerasian's get their lives back to some sort of normality that was once again approved by CRL. If we can recall correctly you are a guest in this country as we are, so start acting like one. This is not your city neither is it ours.

OOC: Basically if I were you I would delete that post and say you never sent the message to me considering almost every claim you made is false or you can just say the report of you taking the airport was incorrect and then send me another message apologizing for the misunderstanding or something like that. Either way I'm not going to accept your post as fact and if you don't change something I will simply IGNORE you. Like it or not there are rules in NS and your breaking one by saying you secured the airport even though you did not RP it out when you posted your landing, also it never even mentioned that you secured the entire city. Either choose one of the options I gave you or get out of this thread, I will not tolerate cheaters.

OOC: Calm down, I sent a division into the PORT CITY of Kanostas, three companies of which are securing the western districts alone. As any idiot would do, major assets (such as, I don't know, an AIRPORT) would be seized first and foremost. The US did it in Bagdad, afterall. I didn't realize I had to RP seizing every single fucking fuel dump/petrol station, electrical station, center of transit and commerce, et. al. that MIGHT come under attack by enemy forces. So you sir, need to grow up and start acting in good faith. Furthermore, you clearly stated that you were using military hardware (used by contractors) to
"set(ting) up the base of operations, within a few hour's the defensive perimeter around the airport would be complete and the base complete with a Hospital, barracks, supply storage and so on would be finished and operational."

So yea, considering Lerasia gave me sway over the city to pacify and reconstruct it ICily, your sudden apperance of heavy military hardware would worry my personnel, especially since you didn't think to inform any forces that would have been in the city in the first place, my reaction is justified and you would be wrong.

Granted, I'm not invading the city, I'm securing it, and I was invited by Lerasia to do so. You, however, never mentioned Kanostas until you started landing planes.

Now, since it is indeed his RP, why not ask Lerasia?

“Golf 3 to base” spoke the Corporal leading the fireteam’s patrol along the southern district of Kanostas, “Area cl…” he was drowned out by the sudden barrage of small arms fire that erupted from above. One of his riflemen went down, his dragon-skin chest piece barely stopping the slugs. He took three in the legs as he dove for cover.

“Golf 3 to base, we are taking fire!” he chirped, taking cover in a doorway by his wounded comrad, “requesting assistance!”

“Rodger that Golf 3, 2nd Attack has a flight in your area, re-directing now, ETA 45 seconds.” Off in the distance, the whooping sound of a pair of assault fast-movers grew louder.

The fire team began firing at the insurgents, who temporarily had the high ground.

“Fire in the hole!” shouted the grenadier, who launched an under barrel at the window of the decrepit flat. He aimed low, and the brick façade fell to the street. Smoke from the other grenades served to obscure the team’s position, but the small arms fire continued. The Corporal laid down suppressive fire as the DMR took position.

Using the muzzle flashes from the buildings as a target of the AK-74s, the SaAH-33a assault helicopters peppered the building with 30mm auto cannon fire, hopefully silencing the insurgents.

“They aren’t moving?” asked the bewildered General.
“No Ma’am, they aren’t. They seem to be ignoring guard units.”
“Are they aware they are holding up power for the city?”
“I don’t think so ma’am.”
“We can’t afford to repave that runway, and there aren’t any long, paved runways that can land Belugas anywhere near here, are there?”
“No ma’am. DIVINT reports that there is an unsecured airstrip capable of landing a C-130 south of here.”
“That might work. Can we take the airport peacefully?”
“Depends on if the Ustians want to play ball.”
“We don’t have the resources for this kind of shit, especially since the fringes are still up in arms…”
“Ma’am, we still have 7th Battalion in reserve, we could probably do a fast insertion, arrest their personnel, and forcibly clear the airport if we must.”
“That sounds like a plan captain.”

(OOC: hahahahhaha thats so funny, misundertandings, ahahahah!)

a small family of country dwellers ran out into the yard of their delapidated farm house. in the yard was the canister of much needed supplies, weapons and the propaganda note from 'President Fien'

"What!? what should we do with this!?" said Nicolae, the solidly built farmer

"Lets take the food before the neighbors find it!" yelled his short, thin wife

"what about the weapons!?"

"lets just take the whole bloody thing inside!".......

the family was not sure what to do with it, they kept it in the front living room.

"lets just turn the rest into the authorities" Nicolae put the canister oh his horse cart and they travelled 3km to the local police station

It was not the first one that was returned but it was reported hundreds of these things had been dropped over Lerasia. they were more arms to fight for 'President Fien'.

Bullets ripped through the thin walls of the buildings as the helo's came in close and hot. The leader of the small band of rebels had his own skull ripped apart by a bullet, the rest of his body was shreaded before it reached the ground, a few of the young revolutionaries fired at the chopper, but probably with little to no affect considering their situation, they knew it but they had to hope for something. As the enemy ground forces gunfire errupted in response supported by the choppers heavy guns from above the rebels began to melt away, only 10 were able to walk away without serious injury. But as the sounds of battle begin the subside the rest of the revolutionaries, the ones that had been smart enough to stay in the basement, began to move.

"Ok, sounds quiet we'd better get the hell out of here," whispered on guerilla to the other.

"What about that damn bird though?" another piped up in question to the still audable rotars of a helicopter.

"Anyone have a smoke grenade?" questioned the first and almost immediately one came forward from the group of 15. "Run and gun, get a block away drop the weapons and melt into the populace we'll meet up in a week." a general consensus came from the group.

The smoke grenade made a thunk as it hit the street outside and then the gently hissing sound emmitted from the grenade as smoke flowed from it.

"LETS GO!" shouted the thrower as he took the first steps out of the door firing wildly into the sky, as the others started filing from the building they began emptying their weapons from directions they had heard earlier gun shots report from.

President Fien took his first steps on Lerasian soil in weeks after stepping off a Droskianishk Calzun Road Runner (Chevy Suburban), his first steps on Lerasian soil were made in the midst of a small northern town (OOC: Name Lerasia?) surrounded by supporters both Lerasian nationals and Droskianishk Security Forces troops. He was here to begin a new method, he would begin to rebuild Lerasia here in a space that he could control and hopefully then be able to convince the rest of the nation that he was the answer to their prayers. Droskianishk coporations had already pledged to build a weapons factory in this town as well as energy plants to help stimulate the economy. Yes, Fien thought, this would be his new base.

In light of the recent destruction of 200 government Calzun Road Runners and 100 Droskianishk Security Transport Vehicles (DSTV's) (Duece and a halfs) by Lerasian rebels on Droskianishks southern border which touches Lerasia, this government has no choice but to deploy a division (12,000 men) of Droskianishk Security Forces (DSF) along the border, while our borders remain open to all Lerasian refugees. On the matter of refugees we will be obliging all refugees to stay in the southernmost Droskianishk town of Yutsk where they will have the opportunity to work, rent property, and have their needs cared for until they so decide to move back to Lerasia.

International Affairs Liason,
Mr. Killok

Elsewhere.. in the northern Lerasian town of... (OOC:Provide a name Lerasia ty)

DSTV's throttled down the dirty road as two Lerasian natives drove and 6 DSF men road in the back with the equipment. This is where Fien wanted the radiotower and this is where it was going to go...

OOC: Yes of course any assault would involve taking major assets first like airports but how the hell are we suppose to know what your doing if you don't tell us in your post? You don't have to go into great detail or anything but you could at least mention it considering other players can't assume what your doing. This ties into the fact that you also never told anybody about your plan of action in Kanosta except for CRL If I remember correctly and if I'm wrong about that please disregard. So what we have here is a failure of communication and as a result this happens, so were both at fault here. Now I realize my mistake and I will fix it when I have time to post tomorrow, its late here and I don't fell like posting my response right now. I did mention landing at Kanosta when I asked for approval of this operation however the message was directed towards CRL so it doesn't really matter anyways.

OOC: the northern most town will be called Cjuco maybe with a population of around....20,000? is this to much or to little?

Fien contacted his friends in Droskianishk

"My wife has been in hiding since the Revolution. I want her to be safe and I want to know if she can stay in Droskianishk Capital city until its safe to return home?"

Meanwhile in the Lerasian country side close to the Droskianishk border Fiens wife, Helen Goreda was with her massive securiforce guards
she was holding out some pictures that were taken of her
"That ass hole! why did he make my nose so big! he did it on purpose!"

"No Mrs Goreda, these photo's will show the people how you fought in the country side of Romescu's ideals and for Fien"

"Bah! Fien better get me to Droskianishk as soon as possible! I'm so sick of living like this!" then she pulled over her expensive fur coat and then brushed back her hair

"Take me to the Rebel compound! least there i can be a bit more warm!" she screached at the guards

OOC: Just a bit about Helen, she is a selfish, horrible woman who only thinks about herself, she loves living in luxury. she throws tantrums often and she yells and hates everyone. During the Romescu Era because of Fiens contacts they bothed lived in Lavish luxury. she used his influence to further her gains in politics, she thinks of herself as a great scientist and she has ambitions to be a world renouned scientist even though she has no idea what the formula is for the most symple of compounds and all the chemicals. during the Romescu era scientific papers were written for her so she claimed them as her own with her name as the scientist who wrote the paper. Her exams, she never sat, her husband used his influence to get her past that obstacle and she became an automatic scientist. Now she is gone into hiding and she now wants to flee to Droskianishk and wait for her husband to become president before returning and fulfulling her ambitions

Mr. Killok answered the phone "Yes President Fien how may I be of service?" The Liason listened to the president complain about his wife as most men did and smiled as he listened to the long list of complaints. "Of course Mr. President we would be more than happy to recieve the First Lady however, we won't be taking her on as a burden of Droskianishk. She is more than happy to move to the capital of Drosk but you must pay for her upkeep here and for her security. We can arrange the purchase of a home or apartment if you would like us too...". The Liason listened to the president speaking hurridly over the phone. "Very well, I'll have my department look for a highrise apartment or home, but I must warn you it would be in your best intrests to tell your wife to keep a low profile here in Droskianishk. While we may not be officially involved in Lerasia our populace is against the government policy of extending refuge to all Lerasians including former Romescu supporters. Should she cause a storm of controversy it could cause Consul Kutz a considerable amount of trouble to stay in power, and we would be forced to exile her or worse.."

The conversation continued into the night focusing on the conflict in the war torn nation of Lerasia..

Freedom Radio Station Report (FR)


People of Lerasia, this is a broadcast from Freedom Radio Station, bringing you the latest news in the war against the foreign occupiers and their puppet government! President Fien returned to Lerasia today to lead the fight against foreign imperialists and their Lerasia colonist counterparts! We hope that many of you chose to keep the weapons that President Fien sent you via air to protect your families from the rapacious foreign forcess and the theives that move around in the uniforms of the CRL. Lerasia deserves to be free once more! This is the freedom that President Fien desires! He knows that Romescu could be harsh at times and he does not desire to be another Romescu, but are things now good for you? Can you and your children rest in peace every night? Are you free to decide for yourself where you will go what will you buy? No! The foreign oppressors and their domestic lapdogs enslave you through their military barbarism and the current economic collapse, this is how they plan to keep you in their pockets and on their leashes! Today many citizens of Free Lerasia continued the fight against the foreign hordes causing several casualties, during the fight many homes and buildings necessary for proper infrastructure were destroyed by the foreigners aircraft. Please keep your radios on and your hearts open for further messages on the fight for freedom!

"Such Impudence!" Helen screched as she paced up and down of ehr temporary apartment in the capital of Droskianishk
"I am the chairwoman of teh Academy of sciences! how could they treat me like this!"

"Ma'am please we have to make the best of what weve got, this apartment will do until The 'President can win back Lerasia"

"Hah! I will let all the intelligensia know about this treatment of the most decorated scienties Lerasia has ever known! Will they treat me for dinner, award me with a prize from their nations most prestigious university!? I dont think so! they dont care about us!"

Helen continued complaining and she even struck one of her guards over the head at one point

"Contact the government I expect they will atleast give us somekind of money of prize for damages, infact get me the phone i will ring them personelly!"

She snatched the phone of her aide and then threatened to hit him with it then she dialed in the numbers

"hey who is this!? well mrs secretary i want you to tell whoevers in charge that teh First lady of Lerasia, distiguaished scientist and Chairwoman of teh accademy of sciences wants to word with them!........" Helen had a list of complaints already invisioned in her mind ready to scream them all through the phone

The aides were just sweating terribly, they were use to her violent behaviour but it still freaked them out.

Back in Lerasia Fien was growing in popularity in the northern regions, the some CRL garrisons were even forced from some towns by Fien Supporters. he then smuggled in his writtings and news papers.

First i will get power in the north then eventually the whole country he thought his thoughts were interupted by a phone call from one of his wifes aides

"mr president your wife is unhappy with your descision to house her in the way that you did, she is displeased with you, she says she will ring you later tonight when she has time..."

Fien hung up the phone, one of his guards noticed him break out in a sweat adn then he had an uneasy look on his face,

OOC: Helen is a very dominaring women. its even been said that in the romescu era if Fien was late for a meeting with his wife he would continually look at his watch, begin sweating and then start stuttering, his wife was a very awful personality hahaha

Secret Document to President Fien


It could be wise to use your wife as a political figure reaching out to women. Droskianishk is also sending you $2 billion ungaks (4 billion USD and I dunno how many Lera's) in financial aid earmarked for the construction of factories and power plants, if you give the people economic security all others in Lerasia will look to you. Even should the CRL win elections, you can establish an independent government in the north with the goal of annexing the rest, it is unlikely that the CRL will be strong enough to destroy you and Droskianishk will not allow foreign military action so close to its border.

International Affairs Liason
Mr. Killok

OOC: I'm in finals week right now, and I have an econ exam today. I'll post later... just explaining my delay.

Document from Droskianishk to President Fien

(IC Secret as was the one before this as well)


In order to secure worldwide support for your control of Lerasia it would be best to distance yourself from the percieved evils of the Romescu administration, I recommend you set standing and well known orders to your troops not to raid or be unneccessarily cruel to the Lerasian people; to advise your supporters outside of North Lerasia to protest the regime and foreigners and act without weapons and make sure the media see's you doing so, so that when foreign troops or CRL troops are forced to use crowd control and/or rubber bullets the world can see the brutality being used against freedom/peace loving Lerasians, and I also advise the destruction of public places of work outside of North Lerasia and then blaming it on the overwhelming modes of firepower available to foreign powers as well as the CRL in order to get both the Lerasian populace as well as the international stage on your side.

International Affairs Liason,
Mr. Killok

Construction began on a new hydropower plant there in North Lerasia as construction equipment from Droskianishk began to pile in unmarked...

OOC: Sorry for not posting for awhile, was busy for the past few days.

Airport, Kanosta:
"Well this is great, what the hell are we suppose to do now?" said Theater Leader (basically a General) Alexander Miller of MSPS as he starred at the Ennusian forces surrounding the airport. One of Alexander's aids came running towards him with a message in hand, he stopped in front of him and said, "Sir, message from Ennusian forces." Alexander grabbed the message, quickly reading it over, "Well thank god, I thought we might had to fight are way out of here, its also pretty close to Berezin. (If that’s all right with Lerasia) Inform all personal we are moving to another airfield and that Ennusian supplies will be arriving at this airfield soon." The aid saluted and then walked away; Alexander quickly went to the communication's room (which wasn't quiet finished yet) and relayed the news to MCI. After that a message was sent to the Ennusian forces in Kanosta.

We confirm the coordinates you sent us, our forces are currently packing up and will be waiting for Ustian C-130's to arrive and take us to this new airfield. These transport aircraft will most likely be arriving in about 30 minutes so yes we are cutting it a little close, in light of this we will have the bulk of are Security Units picked up by MSPS Blackhawk’s so they can secure the airfield far before any vulnerable men and supplies arrive. The Blackhawk’s will be supported by AH-1Z Super Cobra's of MSPS incase they run into any "trouble." If your shipments arrive before we are gone I assure you we will let them land and go about their business, may your operation here be successful.

Back at Kanosta International Airport:

The Blackhawk’s that originally brought them here were called back; they landed next to the airstrip kicking up debris as they touched down. The SU's quickly boarded the Blackhawk’s, waiting for everyone to get aboard. The choppers quickly took off, heading towards the new airfield with Super Cobra's following their lead. Meanwhile the C-130's continued on towards Kanosta International Airport as the Aid Workers, Engineers and remaining SU's were packing everything up.

//Message ends//

SEVERAL HOURS LATER/LARASIA COASTLINE

Waves crashed agianst the shore. Colonel O'neil smiled as the landing craft added to the thunder of the waves. He patted the soft neck of his horse to reassure it. They are bringing important supplies to your capital as well.

"Easy now Teddy, keep calm, we will be ashore soon enough" He said.

The sound got louder and louder as the craft rolled up the beach and dropped the forward hatch. All around horses and men and trucks began to pull out of their respective transports. O'neil rode out forward to a small goup of horsemen in blue uniforms ontop of the bern. The men saluted him as he pulled up. He looked down at the beach and watched as the Cavalry and infantry formed up into colums and began marching up the beach to the road beyond.

"Gentlemen" O'neil said as he returned the salute. "What do we got here?"

"Sir, the we have the 1st and second royal Cavalry and the 73rd highland infantry forming up on the road and the supply trucks bringing up the rear" One of the men said.

"Don't you think that they will think it odd that we were sent instead of the regular military, I mean, our units are the only ones that still use acctual cavalry. Not only that, but the fact that we are marching?" The other said.

"Commanders, the reason why we still wear these antiquated uniforms, use cavalry, and were sent because we are the best of the best, we have been trained to work in the toughest terrain, the hardest resistance. Horses, are esier to feed, and are more willing to take chances than vehicles" O'neil responded cooly."Let us move to the capital, form the men up"

HALF HOUR LATER

With all the men formed up in what nowadays would of been archaic formation, but O'neil found it comforting. The color guard holding the regimental colors and national colors in the front. The bright green eagle on a white feild fluttering in the costal breeze. The band right behind that, followed up by the cavalry and the infantry, wearing their blue wool uniforms and forage caps, their brass buttons and symbols shineing brightly in the sun. Their MA5K assult rifles either slung into holders on the sides of their horses or held at shoulder arms. It was truly an amazing sight.

O'neil rode to the front of the colum with his second in command and leaned forward in the saddle for a moment, resting his back. Then he returned to his proper spot.

"Shall we gentlemen?"He stated

His second in command nodded in agreement.

O'neil pulled a sword out of it's sheath and rose it.

"BRIGADE......FORWARD......MARCH!!!" He shouted.

The brigade lurched forward in a march as the drums and the fifes broke into a song, his order reverberating throughout the brigade as his NCO's repeted it to the men. It would be a long, and hopefully a march without any oppositon. If anything it would provide the locals something interesting to look at.

Free Lerasia Radio Report


People of Lerasia today a new mining facility opened in Free Lerasia. This facility will provide jobs and stability to Free Lerasia, we want to encourage you to join our cause and fight for the freedom of all of Lerasia from the hordes of foreigners as well as their puppets in Southern Lerasia. President Fein today announced that his new military rules forbid the targeting of innocent civilians as well as infrastructure, he was qouted as saying "From now on the blood of civilians and the blood of their economy will be on the foreign imperialists and their domestic colonists hands."


Droskianishk Royal News Report

Today Royal Military Liason, General Killdyo announced that several hundred more DMTV's (ooc:duece and a halfs) were destroyed or captured by the North Lerasian Freedom Forces along the Lerasian, Droskianishk border last week, these vehicles were transporting Soviet Era mortars, Stinger launchers, and several other weapons for dissemiliation at the southern base of Kutz. He also announced that while foreign nations may be involved in the Southern portion of Lerasia, Droskianishk would not tolerate their operating in Northern Lerasia, which is too close to the Droskianishk border, "operations there will not be tolerated" he said in a press brief.

IN the hills and countryside around O'neils approaching army

"What in the hell are they doing?" asked the assault platoon leader as he looked out on the beautiful sight of the long column. Some locals had warned he and his platoon about the approaching large column. It was too good to be true, this was the perfect chance to inflict large casualties on an enemy willing to march out in the open. As he waved his arm his mortar spotter called in the coordinates to hiden mortar teams.

Wampf

Wampf

Wampf...

mortars began sounding and seconds later they crashed into the ground in front of and around the column. From this distance it was hard to tell but it seemed doubtful that the mortars were having much affect, his spotter was already correcting that by calling in more precise coordinates... the next rounds would be far more affective...

As the first mortar shells slammed into the ground, more of his men began popping out of their covering peppering the enemy lines with small arms fire and some even had Stinger RPGS. Where once there had been a beautiful sight of precision marching... there now reigned chaos.

O'neil breathed in the sweet smell of the grass and the trees. He was happy to be in the feild, even if he was escorting medical supplies and food the the capital of this nation. He had misgivings about the reports he had gotten. Constant fighting around the countryside. Thank god he had left a heavily armed rear guard a few miles to the rear just in case. He was skeptical that it would be of much help but all he wanted to do is get the job done and go back to his family farm.

He looked ahead and spotted a hill potmarked with occasional tree stands and fronted by a band of trees, which meant that he could rest his troops and water the horses. Something was bugging him about the sudden silence that had beset the countryside. He knew he was forgetting something.

Out of the silence came a whistle...it got louder, and louder, then, four feet in front of his horse the road exploded into a cloud of dust. Several more whistles gained air.

"MORTARS!!!, SPREAD RANKS!!TAKE COVER!!!!" O'neil shouted.

His men started to scatter to the sides of the road, his cavalry dashing off to the side under the smoke and debri of the falling mortar rounds. He came to a sotp as he heard another round of mortars sailing through the air. A round came crashing into the middle of the drum and fife unit. Several men fell in screams of pain.

"GET TO THE TREES, AFT SKIRMISHERS, INFANTRY SKULK IT OUT IN THOSE DAMN TREES.....GET ME A DAMN RADIO!!!"He shouted.

A man rode up and saluted, reighning his horse to stop it from jerking up. He handed the Colonel the radio and O'neil tuned it in and began barking orders.

"Rear guard, converge on our positon, get a range on those damn mortars and triangulate fire with the howitzer in the rear. Get a damn messge to the main government of this god forsaken place and tell them that we have come under violent attack.....Cavalry company's, head to the right and left and attempt if you can to flank the enemy, Infantry get into those trees and skulk it out, find those buggers....and get the supply trucks back to the rear gaurd!"

All around him mortar rounds continued to fall. Cavalry companys rushed off across the open feilds and dissapearing into the trees on either side of the hill. Infantry rushed across the short distance to the trees, returning the no incomming small arms fire. He promptly returned the radio and spurred his horse and his guard unit and color gaurd into the foray along with the infantry, giving them the leadership they needed.

They rushed forward with a new speed, his men cheering as the ran. Once reaching the edge of the forrest O'neil dismounted and began issuing orders to set up a position before going uphill.

As the cheers of what was appearing to be a rally and a return to organization reached his ears the assault platoon commander shouted "Alright call the mortar teams tell them to cease fire,pack up and move in a hurry". His radio man looked at him confused. "They're rallying and that means we're leaving" he announced firmly as he got up carrying his rifle tenderly and began making his way from the battle, unfortunately he could not get the command to his small arms teams but he had informed them before hand that after the mortar shells ceased falling they were to get the hell out of there and meet up at the rallying point. THey would follow Mao's sayings harrass the enemy, dissapear when he is ready to fight, and hit them again as they move, the last thing he wanted was a drug out fight in which the enemy would have the upper hand...

People of Lerasia the upcomming elections are a farce and a despairing spit in your face and insult to your intelligence.
Who is it that claim to be your masters? The CRL. Who is now a political party? The CRL. AND WHO MAKES UP THE CRL? Romescu cronies! Who is now propping up these Romescu cronies? FOREIGN IMPERIALISTS! Do not let them use you like this. President Fien has appointed many anti-Romescuites to his government and supports alll decisions made by Lerasians and Lerasians only, not foreign dogs. OVerthrow the imperialists join FREE LERASIA under President Fien.

From:John Macked PM of Calizorinstan

We know you claim that we and the other's are agressors, but in reality you are similar to Romescu in speech and form of rule, just hiding behind your mask of Free Lerasia. And we ask you, before you preach on your military superiority, what happened when Romescu fought a short naval battle, he lost, big time and his navy crumbled, so think twice before provoking another naval battle that you'd might lose. We aren't declaring war on you, but we are giving this as a warning, if you mess with any of our allies who support the so-called "Foreign Dogs", we will not hesistate to fire back.

Col.John Macked

O'neil gasped for breath as he and his guard company reached the top of the hill, his force was scaling the hill all over.

He looked around. People were here, but not any more. Spent mortar shells lay about the ground. Footprints covered the dusty ground. He pulled out his binoculars and peered into the hills beyond. Spotting small bands of people dashing through the valleys and vales.

He grabbed the radio from his radioman.

"Echo one, this is O'neil, I want five rounds tossed over this hill into the valleys before you limber up again." He ordered.

There was no reply over the radio. Thunder suddenly rolled off the hills, once, twice, three times, four, five times. Five seperate explosions ripped into the further valleys and vales, shattering rock, sand and bone. He had no time to pursue them, but he wanted to dissuade them from doing it again. He had lost seven good men to the mortar and small arms attack. Fifteen more were injured. It could of been worse, but he learned from his error.

He turned to his unit commanders and started to issue orders.

"I want a skirmish line at about a mile in every direction, it'll give us an idea of who is out there and alert us about any attacks. Okay, Lets move out, Leutenant, form up the men, and get the rear guard up with us so we can use the howitzer for support if this damn thing happens again. I want these supplies to the Lerasia capital as soon as possible, I am sure that thier president would appreciate it"

"Fellow Lerasian's You here today are the patriots fighting to free our beloved nation from foriegn aggressors, Today we will celebrate the creation of the Leramilitia! the Civilian patriots that will fight for justice!"

The crowd all wearing a green and red colourd uniforn holding up sabres and blades and shouting "Lerasia! Lerasia! Lerasia!"

Fien then turned behind him and lifted his hand signilling to the stage workers to drop a huge sheet revealing the new symbol of Fien and his party
It was all black with a white circle in the middle. In the circle was a strange pattern with one verticle line and 3 horizontal lines crossing though each other. The symbol was in red.

The militia then cheered and chanted.
after Fiens speech the civilian militia began scattering around town, walking in gangs and clusters, searching the streets for any opposition. This small town in the north was now the main base for the Leramilitia. But now the militia was getting started up in all the Fien controlled towns, red and green uniforms and bladed and swords were handed out to any civilian showing interest in joining

Above Lerasian countryside, near airfield code named *Sanctuary*:

Up above the countryside the convoy of MSPS choppers speeded towards their destination. The Pilot of the lead Blackhawk looked back at the men behind him and said, “Were closing in on Sanctuary, ETA 20 minutes everyone." He then turned around and went back to his duties. Former Wardog Commando Gabe Elliott, now Captain of this SU unit looked down below from the open side door, taking in the beautiful view. After awhile he noticed a large amount of people moving along the road in formation, "What the hell is that?"
"What?" one of his men asked, now looking down below? "Looks like a damn parade to me, except for the skirmish line."
"What are those idiots doing? Do they have a death wish or something?" asked Gabe
"Hell if I know, but hay if they want to killed that’s fine with me." The man turned away, ending the conversion. Several minutes later the choppers arrived at Sanctuary, the group splinted into four and headed towards their drop zones. The Blackhawk’s descended and made a nice soft landing at their LZ's. SU's disembarked and started setting up a four-corner perimeter around the airfield like last time. The transport Blackhawk’s quickly took off and switched to providing cover with their M134 Minigun's. Immediately several Blackhawk’s caring up armored M1114 Humvee's underneath approached the airfield and dropped off there load, several SU's unpacked the M1114's and moved them to there Tactical position's. The M1114's (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/UMI-MSPS/m1114_002.jpg) had Mk.47 AGL's (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/eggcimpprr456/bg-casw2-6.jpg) mounted on top of them, a little more fire power then a normal 50 caliber machine gun. Another added feature to the vehicle is the SEPS (Shortstop Electronic Protection System) (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/an-vlq-9.htm) that is used to cause incoming artillery and mortar rounds to prematurely detonate before they reach their target. The men settled into there position's, now all they had to do was make sure Sanctuary was secure enough for the rest of the personal.

Kanosta International Airport:

Everything was ready to go; now all that was left to do was wait for the transports. Off in the distance you could hear the C-130's coming, they were close now. Then off in the horizon they appeared, everyone cheered as they made there final approach and landed. The men quickly gathered everything up and boarded the C-130's, including the ten Special Forces. After a few minutes everyone was ready and the transports took off, bound for Sanctuary. On Alexander's military Laptop he sent a quick message to the 350th Light Infantry Division, "We are clear of Kanosta International Airport, your Belugas now have a clear runway. God speed and good luck." He then sent another message, this time to the CRL.

Now that the situation with Mer des Ennuis has been resolved it seems we have to throw away are original plain of providing security for Kanosta. Now it seems that if Kanosta is to be rebuilt and made safe for Lerasian's, it only makes sense to have Berezin safe and prosperous as well. That is why I have asked for your permission to provide security/aid for Berezin and rebuild the city so Lerasian's can go on with their lives in peace. We will make sure Berezin gets back to the way it should be, a functioning, prosperous, safe city for all.

Explosions tore through air and earth and flesh as the howitzer shells tore into the retreating men. Screams pierced the explosions only occasionally, and the men instinctively began to spread out moving faster and trying to become less of a target, THUMP,THUMP,THUMP, came a repeating sound which was quickly followed by the sight of helo's overhead, the men had no time to fire though, they were on the run of their life.


Another assault platoon had been near with a sniper, they had stayed behind as a hidden rear guard and as o'boyce's men began moving towards them they feared they had been spotted and opened fire, some throwing grenades most hosing anything in the direction of the enemy ,the sniper though began firing at all who appeared to be an officer, the attack though couldn't be sustained as there were few men to help sustain.

Several Droskianishk Security Forces Troopers were standing near Fien during his speach, all wearing the uniform of the Leramilitia.

"Outstanding speach, Mr. President" said the colonel present among them. "But now I think its time we discussed winning this war."

"Paramount to our war efforts is the effort to force a wedge between the foreign governments and the mass populaces both of their own nations and of Lerasia. In order to do this sir we must get many people to carry out protests and acts of civil disobedience unarmed to lure the enemy into brutish acts. And secondly sir we need to get your image as far away from Romescu as possible, appoint well known anti-Romescuans, attack the CRL for being Romescuesque and attack the foreign powers as trying to keep the Romescue age present through the CRL..."

Free Lerasia Radio Report

People of Lerasia today President Fien instituted the Leramilitia to protect and serve all the people of Lerasia, both within Free Lerasia and without. We also have word that the Free Lerasian Army (FLA) carried out several succesful attacks on foreign forces, including those of the new imperialist on the scene, O'neil. People of Lerasia in order to protect you from the exploititative economics being practiced by these foreign powers this radio station and every free Lerasian encourages you to share information about foreign troops and their domestic puppets to a FLA leader in your area.
The President also had an anti-Romescuite re-open a small applainces factory today, providing more jobs to those citizens within Free Lerasia.

As a Droskianishk Legion General scanned the camp below him he smiled. These Lerasians would make fine warriors in the battle for their country. This camp had opened nearly right after Fien had arrived, and was by far the most effective of all the Lerasian training camps within Droskianishk. The General knew that the Royal Department of International Affairs (RDIA) had come up with a winning strategy, and knew that they were doing everything within their power to implement it, just as he was doing everything he could to ensure his part in the war was a success.

In the capital city of Lerasia


Alright... whispered one of the FLA troopers. The bombs are set are we ready to start this?

One of the men he was speaking to noded in affirment. They had to do this quickly and perfectly.

POW the first shot reported as it flew towards one of the international peacekeepers (ooc: one of you pick this battle) guarding the power plant...

O'neil gave a huge sigh of releif as his men marched through the last few feet of the street that led to the Lerasian Capital's square. Many of his men shed tears as they remembered the Royal Princess and her death here mere weeks ago.

The march here had been frought with heavy skirmishing. Firefight to firefight. He had lost a good forty men, either injured or dead.

The supply trucks that he had been sent to guard stopped at the base of the steps of the Lerasian capitol building. Men began unloading food, computers, feul, clothing and blankets and one special box marked with the royal seal. It took twice as many men to lift it and set it on the ground. They popped it open to reveal nineteen gold bars, shining in the morning sunlight. Tents were set up for shelter and distributation of goods and the gold bars were carefully carried up the stone steps to the front door.

O'neil knew people didn't like him or his men that had marched so precarisly through unknown territory to personally carry out the Tar-Plantirs orders. Deliver aid to the capital money in gold bars to help stabalize the nation.

He walked up the main doors of the building and slid his hand carved pipe into his mouth, lit it, and gingerly tapped on the doors. Maybe beyond these doors laid the answers he had come to seek as well. Who was attacking him? What was soo important about the shipment that he didn't know about? Why he had a bad feeling about this entire damn thing?

"Yes i agree we have to move away from the image that we were or are apart of Romescu" Said Fien
"I think we should maybe distribute a small book of all my thinking, distibute it to the populance, and maybe hold a anti Romescu parade?"

Meanwhile in the capital the CRL had recieved foriegn support and now their election campaign was in full swing
Temporary leader Truka Doleshcu addressed cameras at a press conference
"It is extremely sad that fellow Lerasians that fought for freedom in the northern territory controlled by the traitor Fien will be blocked from taking part in the first free elections in Lerasia in over 26 years....."

later after the press conference Turka told his closest allies
"Ugh! this situation... what the hell have i got myself into, this country! what are we gonna do! maybe......contact Mer der Ennuis maybe we should enter into an agreement. we are nothing without foriegn support, draw up a plan that would let then station troops in Lerasia for a set term, say that any companies they will set up will be 20% cheeper for them to setup and we will sell them some of our Forest Companies to their private investors for a cheap price.......also add that......hmmmm tell them that we would also like to enter into an aggreement that would see them have a bit of influence in our affairs, maybe Lerasia should look for nation to be a close friend...."

Free Lerasia Radio Report


People of Lerasia as you have most likely seen or heard recently, the new dictator of Lerasia Truka Doleschu has declared that not all Lerasians will be allowed to take place in an election that is supposedly free. This proves that Doleschu not only sounds like Romescu but he is nothing but his idealogical successor. People of Lerasia when the election day comes, which Free Lerasia only wants to happen sooner and more effeciently, write in the name Fein if you are tired of oppression, tired of this farce which calls itself your representative body. Free Lerasia also asks for you all to participate in the "Free Lerasia" march which will be tommorrow at noon, this demonstration will be a peaceful protest against Truka Doleschu and all his Romescuesque cronies. Also there will be made available pamphlets on Fiens plan for the future of ALL OF LERASIA!!!!

Major General Agnese Marya sat in her office, a hard temporary shelter set up near the docks of Kanosta, a stack of papers nearly 3,000 pages thick on her desk. Administrator Turing’s section was the most important, followed by the intelligence report; a patrol some time back had found small arms that were clearly manufactured outside of Lerasia, but no leads had turned up and the situation was rapidly deteriorating in the north along the Droskianishkian border, but there was little the 350th could do. The natural gas generators, a stop-gap measure until large power stations could start running, were in full swing, and GTI contractors kept the power going, bringing public support to an all time high. Romescu/Fein activity had stalled from near-constant raids; the division hadn’t taken a single fatality, though several soldiers were rotated out on medical leave. It was a streak that the unit was afraid to break. The summary was brief and concise.

- The large influx of Denarii had helped stabilize inflation in Kanosta, despite the overall low wage (i.e. people who receive Denarii are relatively better off than those paid in Leras)

- The grid, though in shambles in areas, was at full power

- Guard facilities around critical infrastructure reported few contacts; if any

- Approval for the Ennusian occupation hovered around 70%; citing security and infrastructure improvements as the main positives, and imperialism as the main negatives

- Approval for the CRL remained steady at 55%; citing the purge of the SecuriForce as the main positive, but association with Romescu as the main drawbacks.

- Global Tetrahedron Inc. had opened 150 factories, and were renovating more; lowering unemployment in the city to 15%; down from 25%

- As of yet, 10% of the occupational budget had been expended

Gen. Marya sat back, pleased. She picked up a secure wireless phone, and dialed the code for the division’s Military Police Company.

“Yes General?”

“What is the status of the election grounds?”

“Ma’am, the city square is secure for a 10 block radius; we have several Lever-pull style voting booths set up, along with write-ins. We will have voters dip a finger in bright red ink to indicate that they have voted.”[

“And what are we doing to deter terrorist attacks?”

“We’ve coordinated with the 7h battalion on security; the other 17 are continuing operations as planned.”

“Good. And have you implemented protocol 2?”

“Yes ma’am; any attempt to disrupt elections will be met by death by incineration and decapitation. PSYINT tells us that the populace is supportive of this course of action despite feeling somewhat intimidated.”

“Good. Keep me posted, and lets be on alert, Fein loyalists have already denounced the elections as farcical, and I will not tolerate disruptions. Ensure that any monetary shipments to CRL headquarters are not disrupted in the slightest. Remember, we are here not just to win the ‘hearts and minds’ of the people, but to hold sway over the government.”

“As you wish Ma’am.”

On a trail near the Droskianishk Border with Lerasia


A Droskianishk Military Transport Vehicle (DMTV ooc:Duece and a half) painted over in the colors of the Leramilitia cruised south towards the capital of Free Lerasia on an old dirt road once used by Droskianishk to gather intelligence on Romescu's Lerasia was now being used to supply Fiens. In the back of the DMTV sat a monetary printing machine, and in the cabin along with the driver and a guard sat the tools necessary to begin printing a vast amount of Leras.

Behind the first DMTV followed a second with another printing machine this one was to be used for the printing of Denarii.

A third followed smoewhat lazily behind the second containing a third machine for the printing of a new currency. Whichever President Fien wanted for his new currency, so that when those two became worthless in Lerasia, his would be good. This new method was meant to draw the people away from the CRL economically.

The convoy arrived at a dark musty building, one no one would suspect of being a top secret military facility. The Droskian's unloaded the equipment and moved in inside.

Several hours later they waited for the arrival of President Fien. heavily armed and carrying themselves as professionals they didn't resemble Leramilita except in their uniforms. But they waited nonetheless, although they had already started printing the bills ready to begin moving them into uncontrolled territory...

"Sir" reported one of the FLA members we're ready to drive the imperialist dogs from our shores, but give us the order.

"No", said the commander shaking his head. "We must not stop the elections. We must not intimidate the voters, we must only show them that once the foreigners withdraw the CRL will be too weak to support them. We must win the elections."

The Lerasians sat waiting for the Mer des Ennuis patrol. As the patrol entered into their neighborhood they let them get nearly all the way down the alley before they opened fire.

Thud!Thud!Thud! came the fire from their automatic weaponry. Smoke grenades flew and filled the air as more FLA members began to flood the alley way and the buildings that flanked it....

Scott Janks was an FLA commander that had been stocking weapons being imported from the North. And he was a man that was about to start a battle the foreigners would never forget...

OOC: For the record, the Ennusian government labels all fiat money (i.e. paper money and coinage) with the warning that "counterfeiting bears punishment of immolation”… just warning ya; and the Lera is already hyperinflated; you can't make it any worse. That and the Denarius is only really accecpted in Kanostas, but I like the inflation inducing idea; the British tried to do that in the revolutionary war.

Above Lerasian countryside:

It was very quiet in the cargo bay of the lead C-130; the only noise you could hear was the roar of the engines. The Loadmaster signaled five minutes tell landing, up in the cockpit you could hear the pilot contacting the Advance SU Team, "This is Alpha zero one to Bravo two zero, Bravo two zero please respond." The response came from Gabe, "Roger Alpha zero one we read yeah, the Lawn is secure I repeat the Lawn is secure."
"Roger were inbound, over and out." The C-130 suddenly went into a slow dive as they made their final approach. One by one each C-130 touched down and unloaded their cargo, everyone started to unpack once again to get this base up and running. Everyone was in a hurry to get the various mobile structures and tents up and running while SU's starting setting up a defensive perimeter around the airfield with pillboxes, barbwire fence's and so on.

Now that the situation with Mer des Ennuis has been resolved it seems we have to throw away are original plain of providing security for Kanosta. Now it seems that if Kanosta is to be rebuilt and made safe for Lerasian's, it only makes sense to have Berezin safe and prosperous as well. That is why I have asked for your permission to provide security/aid for Berezin and rebuild the city so Lerasian's can go on with their lives in peace. We will make sure Berezin gets back to the way it should be, a functioning, prosperous, safe city for all.

OOC: Droskianishk; hope you don’t mind that I took a few liberties, but most of the firing was hit-or-miss; feel free to RP as few or as many casualties as you want; just keep in mind that HE airburst grenades will shred infantry out in the open. In addition, I am ignoring your counterfeiting… for now. You won’t be able to print nearly enough to affect the value of the money in Kanostas for days, if not weeks, and the Lera is already hyperinflated. That being said, counterfeits it will fail a few security checks, but will none-the-less enrage my theater commander.

Patrols had been beefed up in the past week as part of a directive from DIVCOM. The patrol in question, gamma squad, 3rd platoon, 52nd company, had wandered down a side street. A rusted-out sedan sat on cinder blocks among the squat low-rises.

“I don’t like it… its quiet… too quiet…” spoke the grenadier of Fireteam III; his new ACU-41A Semi-Automatic Grenade Launcher (SAGL) held at ready, scanning the windows and eves.

“Stand down corporal, the election is coming up, and we can’t look like a bunch of imperialistic swine,” rebuked the squad leader, his DMG-83 SAW at his hip. “Got anything Carlos?” he asked.

“Negative sir… we got charlies!” he shouted, as the first shots rang out from the windows. “Opening fire!” he reported, taking precise shots from the rear of the squad.

“Covering fire!” shouted the other patrol’s sergeant, laying down a stream of fire down the desolate street at a uniformed man wielding an AK-74.

“Lima 6 this is Gamma squad, we are taking fire!” yelled the corporal of fire team IV, taking cover against the side of a building in a doorway.

“Fire in the hole!” shouted one of the grenadiers, shooting HE grenades at windows where he thought fire was coming from. His launcher made a distinctive “Ka-chunk ka-chunk ka-chunk” sound. Acrid smoke began to fill the alley from grenades.

“Rodger that Gamma Squad” came a reply from the platoon’s commander. “reinforcements are en-route.”

“Be advised Hotel 6, they are laying IR smoke.” That meant mortar support would be unavailable until the squad could get clear; it also ment someone was supplying them with advanced weaponry. The corporal laid down some more fire, his gun ripping the walls of the buildings apart. For every hostile that went down, three more seemed to take his place. “Lay more smoke!” he called, standing up slightly. A bullet hit his helmet, penetrating the ballistics glass, killing him instantly.

“Lima 6, man down! Repeat, man down!” The grenadier took an AP bullet to the leg, and went down hard. A rocket from delta squad, in this case a Javelin ATGM, streaked overhead, blasting apart the upper floors of a building. Bullets from the AK’s bounced off the chest pieces for the most part; the dragon skin living up to its name. The grenadier stood up, turned left, and blew a hole in the door, and dove in, followed by the others dragging the body of the fallen.

“Status check” commanded the Sergeant.

“Sir, we’ve lost one, three wounded. Private Thomas is near critical.” replied the uninjured grenadier, his armor ripped in several places. Another rocket explosion rocked the block; plaster fell from the ceiling.

“This is Gamma squad, we have a KIA and three WIAs.”

A rifleman let a burst out into the street at approaching guerillas. “Sir, we’re being surrounded.” he said dismally as bullets ripped apart the wall visible from the window.

“Lieutenant. We are being over-run” said the sergeant over the com. The grenadier shot a frag out the window; it exploded in the street. The squad moved deeper into the building, least an errant grenade sent them to their God. “We need mortar support; we’ve taken cover in a flat. Appears abandoned.”

“Rodger that.”

Scarcely a second later, an overhead RQ-9 drone wired visual and telemetric data to the company’s mortar platoon. A quick calculation and a volley of 81mm HE airburst rounds were flying.

“Bombs away!” shouted the Lieutenant.

Even if the entire squad was extricated, it wouldn’t matter: Ennusian blood had finally been spilled. It wouldn’t likely be the last.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

In Mer des Ennuis, word had reached back quickly that a soldier had lost his life in the Lerasian theater, signifying that the occupation had become hot. Fast. A message had already been prepared, it just needed a flashpoint.

Re: The Insurgency in Lerasia

It is my sad duty to report that the first Ennusian casualty has been recorded during a patrol in Kanostas. These attacks have been escalating as the election draws near, but we have been unable to escalate our forces. For this insurgency to die, we need to root out the snakes, just as we rooted out the SecuriForce of Romescu. For this to happen, we need more men. I would like to dispatch the 35th Corps, of which the 350th Light Division is a part, to Lerasia to accomplish this, and eventually drive out Fein and his band of merry shits out of Lerasia for good. This “Free Lerasia” is a poison that will consume your nation if an antidote is not administered.

If you refuse, we will withdraw all support from the CRL and will be forced to call in Global Tetrahedron affiliated Mercenaries from We Buy It! Inc.’s Hostile Takeover division.

Naturally, we’d prefer you accecpted.

Yes help us make Berezin a safe and prosperous city. send security forces. Berezin as the center of Lerasia and the seat of government needs to be safer and more secure

To Mer des Ennuis

Ok if your help is going to be very effective at ensuring our new democracy then i agree.

Temporary Leader of Lerasia and leader of the CRL thought about the situation

"Hmm this looks like it could explode into civil war! maybe we should negotiate with Fien? or maybe allow a temporary division, power sharing aggreement or anything to get this situation under control? what are we going to do?"

To Mer Des Ennuis
From Truka Doleshcu

This situation is breaking down extremely fast! we need a solution. I want to draft a plan that would see Lerasia Temporarily divided
The southern coast and the land a bit north should come under your complete occupation, Kanostas will be your central base of operations. We also want Berezin to have a small force, your force can occupy the southern area of the city. This is just a draft. if all the powers agree then maybe we can buy us time. we are thinking of Lerasia occupied into three sections
The south by you, the east by Ustasia and the North by Droskianishk plus you will all get an equal division in the capital city.
Do you agree with this solution?

To Droskianishk
From Truka Doleshcu

You are our northern neighbor's and what ever happens in Lerasia will have an impact on you. You are a major power in the region. I dont know what your intentions are in Lerasia but in a power sharing agreement we want you to station your troops in the northern area of the nation. Berezin is located in this northern section. only two areas of Berezin will not be under your occupation and that is the southern and eastern sections of the city. we believe that leaving you, a major power in the area out of such an important agreement would be unwise.

To Ustasia
From Truka Doleshcu

We have drafted up a temporary power sharing aggrement that would see a temporary division of Lerasia. We would like your forces to occupy the whole east coast and an eastern section of Berezin. Berezin is located in the northern section of the country that will be under the Droskianishk occupation forces but two sections of the city will be under your occupation and Mer Des Ennuisç occupation

(OOC: i am thinking something similar to the division of Germany after the war into the different allied occupied zones, i sort of maybe want it to evetually develop into two sperate nations or maybe even 3 nations)

OOC: Now might be a real good time to use that map I sent you and use MS paint to plot cities as well as boundaries (i.e. use straight lines from paint along the grid to demarkcate who controls what.

Re: The Insurgency in Lerasia

Having spoken with Major General Agnese Marya, we must disagree with your propisition. While we have no problem securing the southern sections, we do not want to split the city of Berezin into three factions; this is your country after all. We fear political rammifications at home over the death of an Ennusian soldier, and as such, we need an "exit strategy." As such, while we have no problem securing the south, we need select powers/permissions to make this all work. We want to...

-Raise "Guard Divisions" funded by our military budget that will be transfered to your control at mutual discretion

-Move additional Ennusian forces up to and including an army (20 divisions) into the south of Lerasia

-Move forces into the territories of other nations if they appear to be failing in driving Fein out; our first action will be to move a ranger division (the 347th Air Assault, I believe) into the north to begin raids on Feinian strongholds; intelligence permitting

-Raise civil police forces, funded by our law and order budget, until such a time as they can be transfered to you.

Mr. Doleshcu, the power is on in Kanosta, and has been for some time. Wouldn't it be great if the same could be said for the rest of your country?

OOC: Yea thats fine you can take liberties with my casualties I expect to lose alot of men. It doesn't have a discernable affect on my war effort, alot like the breaking of the VC in the Tet offensive, but how that offensive wrongly convinced Americans that the VC were still strong. Also note that the counterfeiting of Denarri is not meant to drag down your currencies worth, but really to cause time delay in payments and cause havoc. The counterfeiting of the Leras is meant to make sure any attempt at stabilizing CRL's Lerasia worthless. Also note that the FLA is uniformed differently than Fiens Leramilitia in order to give Fien some deniability.


Are those bombs ready?" Asked a captain of the FLA.

"Yes sir, but our me.." replied the Leuitenant shocked.

"Blow the whistle and then set off the bombs, hopefully they'll make it out, I also want you to give the signal for the assault to begin on the power."

"Yes sir."

As the firing continued in the street a shrill whistle blew. FLA troopers began to pack up and flee throwing frag grenades and several more smoke grenades to cover their retreat. Many of them continued to go down to the Ennuis troopers gun fire, a few attempted to help wounded comrades but most just ran.

The field became earily quiet except for the moans and screams of the wounded and the occasional shot into the smoke. Then it happened.

BOOOOOM! A large explosion ripped and roared through several of the flats sending bricks, wounded and dead persons flying through the air. Several smaller explosions accompainied the large one as bullets overheated and flew threw the air randomly and as grenades were set off by the intense heat.

At the Kanastos power plant

The FLA troopers were ready, they had been planning this attack for weeks and now it was go time. One of them took aim and fired his Draganov sniper down at a lone Ennuis trooper... The battle of the power was about to begin.


FLA Command Center Kanastos

"Captain, the explosives failed to destroy the entire block, it seems as though some of them were too old to work."

"Did you leave the impression that it was mortar work by sacrificing some of our wounded?"

"Yes sir," replied the staff officer sadly...

Free Lerasia Radio Report

People of Lerasia today a battle has begun in Kanastos. Many patriots have spilt their blood for your freedom. It is not the FLA's intention to slay you that are innocent and if you can provide information on any family members slain, you may move to Free North Lerasia and you will be compensated. Who is it though that is fighting back in the streets? Is it CRL or Lerasian troops? No IT IS THE FOREIGN DOGS! Mark this stations words, in response to these attacks it will not be the CRL that will be doing the fighting but more foreigners. Who can protect you? The CRL which claims to be your government? No. So will you be colonists to foreign imperialists? This station believes that you are too much patriotic to do that! So rise up against them! As you can see the CRL has no power to stop you! Rise up in peaceful protest and help us drive off these invaders!! A power plant was re-opened today in Free Lerasia, NORTH LERASIA HAS POWER, LERASIAN GENERATED POWER!! How much of the CRL territory has power? Little if none! The CRL is powerless, and their foreign backers wish to enslave you! Join Free Lerasia and decide your own destiny!

From the Desk of the Royal Department of International Affairs


We appreciate that you have decided to include us in these talks and in a plan for the future, it shows a comprehensive understanding of the situation. However it is the belief of this government that should Lerasia be divided the blood shed and chaos would be even more widespread as your own people would desire to be united and someone would use that desire. Droskianishk will not occupy any part of Lerasia as other foreign powers have done, nor do we see the need to occupy Northern Lerasia as we see that it is the only portion of Lerasia capable of self-governance in all respects. We will however continue the policy of border protection and thus not allow foreign powers to invade the northern counties (provinces) of Lerasia. If these powers should attempt to destroy the effective governers of that region of Lerasia, we must retaliate as it is dangerously close to the Droskianishk border.

Royal International Affairs Liason,
Mr. Killok

The site chosen for the temporary power station was little more than an open space and a primary staging area for some of the 350th’s Light Engineering Battalion. An area-denial mine field occupied the anti-tank ditch. A pair of armored bridges spanned each side of the ditch, and each was rigged to explode if necessary. In addition to sandbag walls, barbed wire fences, caltrops, and dragon teeth, a number of semi-hardened bunkers and barracks deployed from the divisions heavy Palletized Load Systems provided housing for GTI contractors, the small security force of the Light Engineering Battalion, and the men and women of the 3rd Rifle Company.

The trooper in question was finishing picket duty on the near side of the mine field. An additional 5 squads were scanning the woods for insurgents, while one of the divisions several RQ-9 Reapers flew overhead.

“Papa Base this is Eagle 6, heading back to base.”

“Rodger that Eagle 6.”

A shot rang out, hitting his dragon skin in the side, followed by a second hit to the chest piece, the titanium disc shattering to save the life of the soldier wearing it.

“Papa Base, this is Eagle 6, taking sniper fire!” he said, bleeding behind a sand bag.

“I can’t see em!”

“Rodger that Eagle 6.” The base command platoon, Papa Base, immediately broadcast a warning to the scouts. An RQ-9 scanned the ground in a variety of infra-red wave lengths, picking out likely targets while highlighting friendly forces.

“Mortar Platoon, fire mission…”

A few seconds later, the 81mm mortars of the Ennuisian military went “thunk-thunk-thunk,” sending their deadly payloads out into the woods. Klaxons blared, while the navy’s GF-002’s prepared for close-air support missions. The power stations Would Not be lost so long as an Ennuisian breathed.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

A video was broadcast from an unknown Ennusian base in Mer des Ennuis, directed at Lerasia. A woman in full military dress stood in an empty field full of short grass.

“Greetings citizens of Lerasia. My name is Major General Zelda Stoyanka, and I will be coming to your nation in the coming days to ensure your safety. Do not forget: Fien Goreda is a traitor to your kind. As head of the Securiforce, Fein killed your brothers, your sisters, your friends and your friend’s friends. My sister in arms, Major General Marya has destroyed or driven these demons from Kanostas, and we are going to continue the purge. Do not trust Fein, trust your government, the CRL. By voting for the CRL in tomorrow’s election, you are voting for a future. A peaceful, economically prosperous future. Voting for Fein Goreda is a vote for the past, a dark past you know all to well. Mer des Ennuis fights for the CRL, and the CRL is fighting for you.”

She took a breath, her steely eyes letting the message sink in.

“To Fein Goreda,” she said, her eyes suddenly aflame, “we are coming for you.” As she said that, five pieces of the desolate land stood up, revealing Ennuisian troopers, expertly camouflaged, their hand-made rifles as well hidden as the soldiers themselves were. “The 348th Rangers are coming for you, and you will be made to pay for your crimes against the Lerasian people.”

Another General stepped forward.

“My name is Linas Vasili, and I will be aiding in securing your country. We have approval from the CRL to help you stand up on your own. If you vote for the CRL, we will come in force. We will raise Guard Divisions from Kanostas to help secure against rebel threats that want to deprive you of the progress you have made since Romescu was executed. We will raise a police force, and continue rebuilding your nation. Lerasia will not be allowed to fall into chaos. We bring order, Fein Goreda brings famine. We cannot do this without your help. A vote for the CRL is a vote for yourselves. The Armed Republic of Mer des Ennuis salutes your bravery. If you have any suggestions, please contact your local Ennusian or CRL facility, or greet one of our many patrols.”

Free Lerasia Radio Report

People of Lerasia, as you have probably seen or heard by now our predictions have been correct. These occupiers are sending more troops to fill in the voids that the current party in power the CRL cannot fill themselves. Your government has collapsed, instead of an indirect colony, now living under the CRL is direct colonization. Did you not see the way their military wishes to dominate you? By ordering all of us, all of us Lerasian's to vote for the CRL, and threating military violence? If you do not vote for CRL will their response be to throw YOUR votes out and call the results un-democratic? Fien does not oppose the elections, and he is no traitor. He stood up to Romescu when he saw the will of the people, Fien obeyed the will of the people and abandoned Romescu. It is the CRL who invited foreign forces onto LERASIAN SOIL THAT ARE THE TRAITORS!! Fien bows to no foreigner, he bows to the will of the people. Tommorrow we encourage you to vote Fien. We encourage you to vote for the freedom of Lerasia. ALL OF LERASIA FOR ALL LERASIANS, BE RID OF THE FOREIGN IMPERIALIST SWINE!!

The mortar shells came in hard all around the small unit, killing a few that were around the edge of their fox hole.

"Their trying to scare us out." said the commander flatly. "Stay steady wait for our brothers.."

At the far end of the compound...

A van was driving steadily along following the fence. The men inside saw the actions being taken, they knew the attack had begun.

Clunk sounded the round being loaded into the RPG as a masked man opened the door to the outside world.

"For FREEDOM!" shouted the man holding the RPG as he fired his rocket at the guard house nearest them. Before the rocket even hit the target the second masked man was already re-loading the rocket tube. Several men readied their rifles in the electric company van following them, the assault would be bloody, after the gate was blown open, they would be rushing in trying to create a wedge for the others...

OOC: I'll presume you are outside the ditch/berm; and I’m going to presume you’re using an RPG-7; the most common in the world.

"Ma'am, we have reports of an attack on the turbines,"

General Marya raised an eyebrow and sighed.

"Ready DIVART for fire missions, we'll beat these bastards into the ground. Is there any news on the explosions in the southern slums?"

"Yes Ma'am. We have five confirmed KIAs, and three criticals. They're being medevaced now, but the platoon commander reports that the situation stable."

"We need to win the hearts and minds before tomorrow’s election. Is the perimeter around election sites secure?"

"Yes Ma'am; we've hardened several buildings against attack and have a double perimeter along approach roads. Tomorrow will be a show of force, and we are littering the city with easy instructions on voting."

"Has SIGINT found where these pirate broadcasts are coming from?"

"Yes Ma'am; the north."

"Can we take it out?"

"I would advise against it ma'am, doing so will only cause the population to turn against us."

"I suppose you're right. If the CRL is voted in, we'll have a mandate to shut them down with extreme prejudice."

The Ennuisian platoon continued combing through the wreckage, while checking for failed explosives.

A soldier came running up to the platoon’s HQ, set near a helicopter staging area where medics were bagging the dead.

“Sir!” he shouted at the 1st Lieutenant. “We’ve found this” he said, holding up a brick of C4. “The detonator failed.”

“Are their any identifying marks? Serial numbers?”

“Yes, sir. On the detonator.”

“Bag it until the MPs can get here.”

He stepped forward onto a piece of rubble, which groaned.

“Holy shit… MEDIC!” he shouted, pulling a piece of rock off the pile, revealing a bloodied leg. “We have one!” he shouted, as a team of medics came running over to extricate the soldier.

“Poor bastard…” he thought… ”he’ll wish he was dead”

The Power Generator Staging Area

The RPG slammed against the hardened wall of the guard house, exploding against the steel armor normally meant to take small arms fire. The first Ennuisian soldiers returned fire from behind double-sandbag wall, which stood about 3 ½ feet high, while APHE machine gun fire raked the hostile positions. A javelin anti-tank missile took off, flying above the fence before it would slam down against the van.

DIVART command

“Sir!”

“Yes major?” said the divisional artillery colonel.

“We have reports that the power facilities are under attack and we are getting potential firing solutions. As you requested, the area has been pre-scouted and sighted.”

“Right. Have all guns and a battery of HIMARS ready to fire, green light.”

“Yes sir.”

Across the city, a battery of 6, 155mm M777A1 guns, in this case sitting on a reinforced secured warehouse roof, fired six DPICM rounds into the woods outside the power station, using infra-red data gathered from aerial recon. These rounds would deploy any sub munitions loaded into the shell; in this case, shaped charge anti-personnel sub munitions. 72 of them. While the first volley was still in the air for a mere 20 seconds, the next volley went off.

Another Message was dispatched from the 350th’s Military Intelligence Battalion, featuring Major General Agnese Marya, standing outside of a free clinic set up by the Ennuisian Military.

“Greetings Citizens of Lerasia. It has come to our intention that the forces of Fein Goreda are propositioning. Contrary to these snakes in the grass, Mer des Ennuis has no colonial ambitions in Lerasia. Your government has not had the time to set up an effective military and police force. Before you threw off the chains of Romescu, your military worked against you; your police force was the Securiforce, a force that we have helped destroy. Fein Goreda led this force, and now controls the north of your fair country.

How, might you ask, has Fein Goreda set up a force that we believe is now attempting to destabilize the order and peace that you have come to expect? Fein Goreda still holds sway over the Securiforce and the old military, and is using this influence has committed himself to terrorizing the good people of Kanosta. However, some of you might ask, ‘How could Fein Goreda have secured arms?” Simple: Fein Goreda has a foreign backer. Just as a foreign power sheltered him from your righteous wrath, so too is a foreign power giving him a backbone. Though Romescu is dead, Fein Goreda will as soon implement the same regime of his predecessor.

Many of you have already received pamphlets, radio broadcasts, and fliers indicating where to vote tomorrow. Ennuisian soldiers are prepared to give their lives so that you may exercise your right to vote. Any attempt to prevent you from voting will be crushed. A vote for the CRL is a vote for security, peace, and prosperity, while a vote for Fein is a vote for the Securiforce.” She faded out as the last sentence was spoken, showing the ugly visage of a securiforce agent, along with a less-than-flattering picture of Fein.

BRROOOOMOOM!!!! The Van exploded blood and limbs flew in every direction.

"HOLY SHIT!!" Shouted the driver of the second van as he swerved to miss it, flipping the van.

Several moments later....

"Is everyone alright?" the driver asked as he kicked out his door grabbed his rifle and stuck his head out. SPLUK! His head exploded cleaved in two by the Ennuisian machine gun. Several of the men began slowly poking their heads out and exchanging pot-shots with the machine gunner.

ACROSS THE FACILITY!

An explosion was heard, "Alright thats our sign lets move," THe men popped into sight and began running down the hill dispearsed across every few feet, a good 30 of them heavily armed, began firing on medical teams and those Ennuis troopers that were still at the sight of the first combat at the facility began. Behind them DMTV began moving in with .50 callibers mounted began pounding the ground troopers.

Let them use their mortars, thought the driver of one, let them lose this war, he grinned.

But the real action was happening in the streets. A riot was being incited by armed and uniformed FLA members.

"VOTE FOR FIEN IS A VOTE FOR A FREE LERASIA!!" and "DOLESCHU IS ANOTHER ROMESCU!!" were the chants that could be heard. Many FLA members carried flags, Free And Open Voting Booths for a Free and Open Lerasia! and 'No troops at polling centers!'

Free Lerasia Radio Report


Free People of Lerasia, have you ever been targeted by the FLA or by Fien in attacks? No, only the foreign dogs have had blood spilt by our freedom fighters. Who has been recently connected to the destruction of homes in Kanastos? Ennuis. Their mortars lead to the destruction of those homes, their high tech weaponry continues to threaten your homes and your livelihood. Will they cease? No. And if Fien has foreign aid, where is it? Fien has support in the army and former Securiforce this is true, and this is why those two branches abandoned Romescue and aided you in the revolution! True it took more than a few days for them to do so, but all were afraid of Romescues power. Can you remember the full revolution? Who was aiding you? Who was letting you into secure facilities? Who turned over and held Romescue? Securiforce and the army! Fien ordered these branches too turn, but feared the rising power in Doleschu, who was moving quickly to sieze power by slaying the former dictator. Where are there problems in Lerasia? Where is money worthless or difficult to use? Where are foreign troops? Where are their battles? In CRL's Lerasia. Where is security, food, jobs and power? Free Lerasia. This station and Fien are the first to admitt that there are problems, but we are working on these together, both small Lerasian and great Lerasian, side by side. A vote for Fien is a vote for Freedom. A vote for Doleschu is a vote for Romescue.

OOC: Not sure what a DMTV is; guessing it’s a HMMWV of some sort? And how, exactly, is this election going to go down?

The Power Generator Staging Area

More insurgents came charging down the hill, the guards against the sandbags, this time supported by a technical. More javelins flew, along with a fair share of Starstreak anti-air/anti-vehicle missiles. More heavy machine gun fire was unleashed, and a number of Ennusian troopers went down. Still, the lines held, and the enemies of the CRL had two-hundred yards of heavy fire to advance before they’d even hit the bridges.

Meanwhile, a flight of 10 GF-002 fighter-bomber drones were scrambled, ready to obliterate the enemies of the republic.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

“Ma’am”

“What is it this time captain?” Asked Maj. Gen. Marya.

“There are riots in the street, with uniformed and armed men inciting them.”

“Have the police battalion arrest them as rebels. Set up concrete barricades, we’ll direct them away from polling centers. They are pushing us, and we will not push back.”

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The protestors moved along the streets; the Ennuisians had no idea how many were rebelling. The Military Police, along with what few civilian police men bothered to show up, watched from the sides, armed with less-than-lethal semi-automatic grenade launchers attached to DR-83’s. Mostly the troopers just watched the crowd walk bye, regardless of what was thrown at them; verbal or otherwise over hastily erected concrete barriers with riot-dispersal bean-bag launchers mounted at the top.

The first group of 10 MPs, designated clearly by an “MP” badge on their armor, worked their way through the crowd to arrest a man with an assault rifle wearing a uniform, accompanied by an equal number of uniformed Lerasian Policeman. This would be the first arrest of many agitators. A pair of medical blackhawks circled overhead, accompanied by attack helicopters, least a civilian or MP was injured. More heavy vehicles were on standby, least any heavy hostilities broke out.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The Ennuisian Broadcast was made again by Maj. Gen. Marya, who was getting tired of competing with some pirate broadcast. The day after the election, any pirate broadcast would be raided.

“People of Lerasia, you are being lied to. While the Securiforce was shredding documents and Fein was running with his tail between his legs, the Ennusian government was negotiating with the CRL on jumpstarting your future. The CRL was furthermore rioting in the streets with you, the people, to destroy the remnants of Romescu.

As anyone who is employed in Kanostas knows, the Denarius is in wide circulation, and is one of the strongest currencies in the world. The so-called Free Lerasian Army is nothing more than a terrorist organization. Today, as many of you know, there was a large explosion in Kanostas, blamed by “Free Lerasian Radio” on mortars. Mortars! Our brave soldiers, fighting against the rebels, uncovered a failed explosive device, designed to destroy many buildings and kill many people. What of the wounded of the FLA? They are being treated alongside our wounded. Even as I speak, Fein loyalists are attempting to shut your power down, in a raid that will surely go down as an abject failure.

Mer des Ennuis and the CRL want peace. As evidence by ongoing terrorist attacks, the same cannot be said of Fein. Who else but Fein would kill Ennusians and civilians alike, with out discrimination? It isn’t you, the average Lerasian worrying about feeding your family; least of all being killed on the street by a Securiforce has-been. A vote for Fein is a vote for the secret police; a vote for the CRL is a vote for a bright future. Ennusian soldiers will be protecting your right to vote, along with members of the Civil Police. Defend your freedoms, support the peace keeping effort! When the time comes after the elections, support or join a home-guard division or a civil police brigade! You have the power to secure your future against tyrany!”

As attempts to make arrests on uniformed, masked men were made, the men promptly threw down their weapons and began to to raise their voices and argue. one such innocent was this.

" You are under arrest, you will be treated with respect and dignity as long as you lay down your weapons immediately" shouted the MP.

"Go to hell fascist!" Shouted the masked man as he threw down his weapon and pushed the MP. "Freedom for Lerasia" shouts came as the MP found himself surrounded by masked FLA members (unarmed) and many unmasked civilians rushing him.

Violence began to errupt as unarmed FLA members and unnarmed civilians alike began to charge police ramparts and throw small pebbles at the crowd control. Pamphlets fell out of their pockets explaining Fiens idealogy and also explicitly ordering the violence to cease, though these wouldn't be discovered until later.

The charging men had been mowed down the DMTV (Droskianishk Military Transport Vehicle, Duece and a half). Their moans filled the air, the attack had been spent, few FLA members had survived. Though in the city the riots were growing more fierce and violent. As shadowy figures could been seen moving back and forth in windows.

Free Lerasia Radio Report

Citizens watch the protests in Kanastos. They will not be tolerated by the imperialists. This new democracy is a farce. Free Lerasia knows that such elections must be carried out but they must not be forced or rushed or control by one party or controlled by foreigners. But this does not matter to Doleschu, why is it that his imperialist masters must respond to us but he is silent? Let the fact that they speak for him show you their true intentions.


(OOC: Have to wait for Lerasia to carry out the elections, Fien doesn't want to interrupt them he believes he can win the majority of the nation.

OOC: Will post later; the MPs aren't going to respond with violence; thats what you'd want them to do. Can you clarify the last paragraph of the first post?

Truka Doleshcu appeared on TV

"Fellow Lerasian's our beloved nation is being torn appart by Fien's rebel's. Puppets of former Romescu are fighting for him..

(OOC: By the way i just want to point out that Truka Doleshcu served as Romescu's Prime Minister and all of the CRL are former member of Romescu's government but so are Fiens + some extra's that hate Romescu but are loyal to Fien)

"...Voting is already taking place in some of the stable cities with over 70% turnout rate. this is good but for the price we paid for freedom i would love to see every Lerasian citizen vote and see a 100% voter turnout rate. Voting will continue over the week. Our allies are helping us. They are ensuring a clean and safe first free election. two weeks is the latest for getting the election results back but our friends and allies will help will this process. Lerasia has also changed its national flag, Let us be rid of the old Romescu Regime flag and embrace a new flag that symbolises Lerasia's struggle for freedom, we here by no longer recognise the old flag and now recognise the new Lerasian flag,

However, Rebel states in the north are continuing to fight for the old flag, they still recognise that flag. This just shows how false they are and how attatched they are to the old regime"

Meanwhile in Guren, Lerasia's Largest northern city and the seat of leadership for Fien and his army. Fien was giving another speech directly to crowds of people

"Lerasian's Truka wants to destroy our culture, our way of life. Destroying our national flag is the first step. more foriegn troops are moving in! he is sending Lerasia on a path which will lead to death! for all Lerasia. Allready you know of the protests in Kanostas. I was contacted by the CRL a couple of days ago in which they offered me a peace, a power sharing aggrement....well it required that Lerasia be temporarily divided! this shows how he is a puppet of the foriegners that are determined to splinter Lerasia and keep it weak. we cannot stand for this, we have to fight, fight, FIGHT!"

The crowd then cheered, clapped and yelled. Fien was growing in popularity in the northern Area's. The Constitution for the Democratic Republic of Lerasia had already been drawn up and was being followed in the Fien controlled northern area's, a new national anthem was also being used in these area's and now the northern area's had not accepted a flag change.

OOC: Sorry i have no idea how to put pictures on these. I tried once before but it didnt work. I have no idea. sorry i'm shit when it comes to these type of things.

Free Lerasia Radio Report

This is it, the moment for freedom from the tyranical Mer Des Ennuis, this is the moment in which all should vote Fien for Freedom!

Kanostas Election Site 45A

Election Site 45A, like most other election sites, was heavily guarded in the wake of the previous days attacks. For three blocks surrounding the building in a ring, there were three layers of check points consisting of troops, apparatus, and as many civilian police as could be tracked down. The average Lerasian would only need to check in at the first check point; the others were for defense. Several attack helicopters were circling the area, and medical way stations were present between the second and third rings. Once inside the third ring, however, not an Ennuisian could be seen. A little old lady who volunteered, along with several Lerasian civilian police, answered questions as best as she could, and ensured that anyone who voted dipped their finger right index finger in a bright purple ink that glowed brightly in several bands of UV.

It was set to be a fine, secure election day, and dozens were turning out at daybreak for the opening of the polls.

An open announcement from the 350th Light Division DIVCOM

“The supporters of Fein have no right nor mandate to create a ‘constitution.’ An unelected group of Romescu radicals have decided to draft a false document. This constitution, in effect, gives Fein and his party unlimited power; they are not accountable to anyone. Such an abuse of power is absurd, and cannot be taken seriously. The CRL has done no such thing; they have not had the power of the people invested in them after a free and open election. A constitution is obviously high on the CRLs agenda… once and if they are elected. Vote for freedom; only tyranny would create a constitution without your, the people’s, express permission.”

WE the people of the Democratic Republic of Lerasia, an area that holds over 14 million people have declared independence from the puppet dog state of Mer des Ennuis! we have thrown out the foriegners. not even the south lerasian will move it. Soon the DRL will rule over the whole of Lerasia. Until the world recognises our soveriegnty will continue our campaign of terror in the south. We will not stop until we have Berezin!
Presently our capital is the northern city of Guren but we will gain in popularity and extend our rule over the rest of Lerasia!

Royal Droskianishk Radio Report


Today after the report that northern portions of Lerasia had broken away and fromed the Democratic Republic of Lerasia, the King released a small statement for both the people of North Lerasia and the world.

I was today delighted to hear that the people of North Lerasia had found freedom from foreign oppression. I was however saddened to hear that it came from the dissolution of national unity, and so it is that I announce that Droskianishk would be willing to host re-unification talks with President Fien, and the winner of the so-called 'free elections' in the South as well as with a representative from Ennuis. However until those talks are either succesful or complete, Droskianishk extends its former protection of the northern provinces to the new Democratic Republic of Lerasia. While Droskianishk will not be sending troops or occupying this new nation we will not allow it to be attacked by foreign powers including but not limited to South Lerasia (CRL) and the nation of Mer Des Ennuis.I hope that this government will recieve notifications of agreement to participate in re-unification talks soon.

OOC: If all parties agree I'll set up another post.

The Armed Republic neither recognizes nor accepts the state of Northern Lerasia as a legitimate international entity, nor do we accept the State of Droskianishk’s threats. The peace keeping forces of Mer des Ennuis have never received permission, and therefore have not moved into the North of Lerasia. The Armed Republic will not supply additional forces and will take no action outside of Kanostas until the legitimate elected government asks us otherwise.

Official Communication to the nation of Ennuis


We do not wish to start a war between our two nations. We are merely giving our position on the situation, and inviting you to a re-unification conference. We do not wish to have two Lerasia's. Droskianishk is striving for peace in the region, not further conflict.

Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Mr. Killok

The radio's and televisions blared messages from the horrible attrocity that took place in Berezin over the day.

"2 car bombs had taken place ripping through Ceasi Avenue and killing 23 people and injuring 13 others. The Leramilitia has claimed responsibilityand say that they will continue this campaign of terror unless both Lerasia's head to the bargaining table and North Lerasian Soveriegnty is recognised.

North Lerasian troops from both the Leramilitia and the DRL army has closed the borders and is not letting any north lerasian out nor any south Lerasian in. However the North Lerasian troops and rebels are entering the South at an estimated rate at 500 a day. Fien gave just one comment
"Come to the negotiating table..."

OOC: yes i agree for Droskianishk to start another post

In the interests of securing peace for the elections, The Armed Republic will send Admnistrator of Kanostas Willard Turing to the table. Any strike against the south will be delt with in kind.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

In retalliation for the car bombings, a flight of 5 GF-002 Joint Strike Fighters dropped 60,000 pounds of JDAM bombs on various supply routes and DRL/Fien outposts, particularly along the border, marking the first attack against seperatist forces outside of Kanostas. No cities or towns were targeted in the attacks.
