Porthmadog docks, Madras, Indian Soviet Commonwealth of Beth Gellert
Dockers labouring this morning did so under the weight of epic hangovers- Soviet India had just celebrated its nine-billionth living citizen. But spirits were buoyed where bodies felt heavy, for the Commonwealth had made a new friend in a Japan searching down comrade Colonel Qadhafi's third path.
A massive Red Dragon Class Wing-In-Groundeffect vehicle was being loaded with more than a thousand personnel who would travel to Japan to establish a Soviet embassy and establish lasting ties. Many were analysts who would asses Japan's means and needs and prepare the ground for the delivery of aid, making recommendations to be voted upon by the Soviets back home.
The giant machine was meant to make an impression. Weighing hundreds of tonnes and flying just above the water's surface at several hundred kilometres per hour, it would demonstrate to the Japanese people the wisdom of friendship with Soviet India. In future, perhaps, civilian WIGs would fly tourists, businesspeople, diplomats, and commercial goods between Japan and India for less cost than air freight and at higher speed than ocean transport.
The consul elected to meet Japanese officials when the Red Dragon arrived was a Katerina Ivolgin, daughter of immigrant refugees who fled the failure of East European Marxist-Leninism and who briefly served as commander-in-chief of Indian Soviet naval forces during the difficult 1980s.
A second Red Dragon would carry a massive statue weighing hundreds of tonnes and representing a Japanese woman and an Indian Celtic man standing together with left-fists raised to the sky. Carved in stone, largely by hand, it is set with numerous Indian gemstones and inscribed in several languages with quotations from Qadhafi and Graeme Igo. It would be presented as a diplomatic gift in hopes of a bright future.
