The American Privateer
08-06-2007, 20:12
Secret IC:
The Imperial class Star Galleon Olive Branch sat in space dock, loading supplies and goods, including some of the famed Resurrection Chambers that had made The American Privateer so powerful.
The crew, all fully outfitted with nanites, were hand picked. 300 members of the TAP'ian Special Forces were serving as the marine Component, dressed in the Gray and White Coveralls that made up the uniform of the Marine Corps. Though this was nominally mission of peace to the nation of 1010102, the leadership of the Empire of Five States expected trouble from the treacherous Dictator.
Top Secret IC:
Little did the crew know though, that a pair of low-yield nuclear weapons had been placed in the hold, attached to the Resurrection Chambers. If the ship was hit by weapon fire, the entire thing would blow. If that happened, the entire galaxy would know that 1010102 had attacked an unarmed merchant vessel.
Normal IC:
Fleet Admiral Jack Ray stood before the holo-projector and prepared to face the dictator whom he had hated for so long. He knew that this was his last Resurrection before having to turn his soul over to the net, and he wanted to make the most of it.
Artemis nodded, alerting him that the link was being sent to 1010102, and he began to speak.
"Dictator, this is Admiral Ray. I know that we have sparred verbally over the past few days, and that we have made vague threats should war break out. However, we wish to send you an olive branch. A vessel, aptly named the Olive Branch is being loaded with our Resurrection Chambers that allowed us to fight such a horrifying retreat against you."
Clearing his throat, the Admiral continued, "i ask, please, that you accept this in the spirit it is given."
