The Beginnings of a Revolution?

The Latin Peoples

OOC: This is the thread for the story.
=============================
Misty Mountain Manors was one of the manors owned by the Imperial Family. It was of medium size and had a well kept garden, tended to by expert gardeners. Here was where the Nova Romanian Revolution would begin, here is where it would begin.....

In a secret hideout, Marcus Carius and his soldiers were preparing to begin the revolution that would demolish the current government, establishing communism as the new ideology. However, he would begin it by orchestrating the kidnapping of a young princess.

Recieving support from the Revolutionary Communist Alliance of North Calaveras, he sent a letter to them, asking if he could "use their services" for a mission. The letter, which was quite short, was like this:

"You are to kidnap Princess Flora, daughter of the Emperor of Nova Romania and hold her in your headquarters as part of our campaign to bring communism to the people of Nova Romania. She is located at Misty Mountains Manor."

It was swiftly sent to the leaders of the RCA, hopefully it would reach them so they could proceed with the plan, which first begins with kidnapping an imperial princess.

=====================
Princess Flora was the intellectual of the family, she was quite intelligent for a fourteen year old. Today, she walked through the gardens while reading her book, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Flora often read the books of Austen and Charles Dickens, the books of these two authors could be found in private library.

As she read through the book, she began to hear a sound or two, it sounded like a car but then her ears ceased to hear the sound, so she went back to reading her book. She did not know that this car was being driven by people who were coming to kidnap her, such thoughts did not come into the princess' mind, all that was in her mind was the book she was reading.

The car was coming towards the manor slowly, soon the men inside would take the princess. However, would they be lighting the fuse for the powder keg that was revolution?

==================
Marcus Carius sat in his office, reading reports, soon he expected the report about the princess being successfully kidnapped to come to him, handed to him by one of his assistants. It would be in a matter of time before that was to happen. "Let's see what happens." he thought to himself. "Let's see what happens."

Flora struggled to get away from the man who grabbed her, but she was unable to get away from his clutches. She was forced into the vehicle, into the back seat, where she was watched over by two men with AK-47's. The operation had been a success, all they needed to do was to go to their hideout and contact Marcus.

"Hold her until further notice." Marcus said, a smile growing on his face. "The first part of my plan was a success." he thought to himself. Soon, he would begin the second part.

Emperor Tiberius and his family were in New Rome, the reason that Princess Flora at Misty Mountains was because she was staying there for a while before coming home after her time with a youth group. The Emperor did not know that she had been kidnapped, until now.

===========================
Tiberius was reading the newspaper when a man came to him. Tiberius put the newspaper down and turned to look at the man, who seemed to have something urgent to tell him. "Your daughter...Flora..is missing." the man told Tiberius, who stood up swiftly and demanded to know more. "The manor...people were murdered, sir."

Tiberius was shocked and a bit angry at the same time, he told the man to alert the Prime Minister, Titus Phillippus, which he would soon do. Tiberius contemplated the news and contacted his family, his wife deeply saddened by the news.

======================
As for Flora, she was now in the RCA hideout, it looked well kept and clean actually. Flora looked around the room she was in, it was a bit small, she saw there were guards near the doors. Flora was wary of those guards a bit, so she decided not to go talk to them.

In Rome, the Dictator has just finished attending the mass. He exits the basilica in which the sacrifice was offered. Immediately when he leaves, he is accosted by 2 of his aids.

"Salve dictator noster! Habemus famam gravitatis magnae tibi!
(Hail our dictator! We have news of great importance for you!)"

The dictor turns to face his aids, curious as to the nature of the news.

"Quid? Dic mihi famam hanc quam habetis.
(What? Tell to me this news which you have.)"

The aid looks excited; indeed, he is very jittery. He quickly tells the dictator:

"Regina barbariae raptus est a communistis terroristis. Bellum civilis minatur.
(The princess of a foreign land has been seized by communist terrorists. A civil war threatens.)"

The dictator's lips contort to a grim smile, and adresses both of his aids.

"Vigilate
(Keep watch.)"

The aids bow once, saluting, and then leave.

OOC: It is going to be public now actually.

All over Nova Romania, a special news broadcast came onto televisions, saying that Princess Flora had been kidnapped but that it was unknown as to who did kidnap her. Police officers were saying that it had to be more than one person. Prime Minister Titus Britannicus convened a news conference to discuss the issue.

"At this time, we do not know who was responsible for the kidnapping, but the authorities are looking into it." Titus said to the reporters at the news conference. "We hope that she can be found and returned to her parents."

"Do the authorities have any information they can give us?" one of the reporters asked. The reply that was given to him was:

"The authorities believe that it was more than one person who kidnapped the Princess, because evidence at the crime scene suggested this."

The conference ended in the afternoon, and people at their workplaces were talking about what they had just heard. They had just heard that an Imperial Princess had been kidnapped.

OOC: I do not have a map of my nation and this is my last post.

Today was the beginning of the Revolution, a revolution whose justification came from an interpetation of the need to dispose of capitalism. The group who would launch the revolution did not claim government oppression, but rather oppression from the capitalists, etc. They merged communism with belief in the "Right to Revolution". Their form of communism was also a hybrid version, borrowing from the various forms of Communism.

================
The town of Caligula was to be one of the rebels' first targets. It was around the afternoon and citizens were busy either at the markets, work or school. As they went about in their daily tasks, they saw something quite odd but a bit frightening to some. A group of tanks were coming down the streets, followed by infantry. The flags they saw resembled the Communist flags, these soldiers were not from the government, they were rebel soldiers who were here to take control.

The soldiers marched down to the town center (town hall) where they lowered the old flag and replaced it with a hammer and sickle, the old Communist flag. Concerned citizens watched as their town became occupied by the rebels.

In other parts of Nova Romania, rebel forces began to take control. The civil war...the revolution was beginning.

Imperial Port city of Hellina

The normal drag of everyday life in the large industrial city was interrupted by the steady drone of footsteps, thousands of them as they echoed throughout the city and down every alleyway.

The City's port was equally busy as hundreds of ships filled the harbor the usual flow of lumbering commercial vessels..was replaced by a massive armada of warships..docked at the harbor were the troop transports being loaded up with the thousands of men and equipment that would be necessary for war..

Throughout the city the streets were lined with citizens waving the flag cheering, wives and husbands hugging their spouses goodbye...mothers watching their children go off to fight..

General Devin stood in the back of his command vehicle waving to the crowds he turned to one of his senior officers..

"A glorious sight isn't it..? We will have this communist uprising crushed within a week."

The younger officer a captain by the name of Henry wright nodded while also waving to the crowd

"Indeed it is sir..the rebellion shall be crushed shortly..I hear the Emperor has authorized all means necessary to deal with the reds..?"

Devin broke a sinister smile while being pelted with flowers and confetti.

"Indeed it is captain..We are dealing with reds after all and you know the Emperor's view on communists...the only good one is a dead one."

Both men broke out into light laughter as the motorcade continued on

The dictator reclines upon a couch in the triclinium (living room) of his home in Rome. There is a lazy, euphoric air about the room; musician women play upon the harm in the corner, and the dictator periodically lifts a chalice of wine to his lips.He tilts back his head, taking in a deep draft...only to lurch forward quickly, the wine spewing from his mouth as a red geyser.

"Quid dicitis mihi?
(What are you telling me?!)"

"Rebelles inceperunt capere urbes in barbaria in qua regina captus est.
(Insurgents have begun to capture cities in the foreign land in which the princess was captured)."

"Et respublica sua facit...
(And their state is doing...)"

"Nihil.
(Nothing.)"

"Parate milites. Incedemus vespere.
(Prepare the troops. We will march in the evening.)"

The dictator waves a hand, and immediately his aids scurry off to inform the generals. The dictator sighs.

Cecil Harrier was the sniper of the 5 man team. "Ok, so essentially our job is to kill the imperial family and launch ths nation into total anarchy?"

Squad leader Miller answered him. "Yes. With the royal family removed, our allies in Gataway will be able to install whatever government they desire after they crush the communist rebels. It should end up being a pro-NPE government, which is always good."

"Do they know we're coming?" Piped up Andrews, the engineer.

"No one knows, not even our allies" Miller responded.

In northern Italy, there is a great tremor as the wheels of hundreds of heavy vehicles make their way. Because the Imperator had thought there would be only a light revolution, he had saw fit only to send in 10 batallions (You can find information for all of the vehicles I'm going to name off here. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=530833)).

At the front line 400 Ariete tanks sweep across the terrain, their cannons directed directly in front of them.

Directly behind them a line of 600 Bradley Line Backers advance, the missile launchers sweeping hither and thither, searching for any signs of an advancing airborne threat. Mixed with the Bradleys are 600 Dardos. Inside of both groups infantry sit, 7000 strong; the infantry look out through the small windows outside, holding their G-36's in their hand.

Behind those ride 160 M270 Rocket Launchers and 40 PzH Howitzers.

Above them all, 100 Agusta Helicopters make sweeps ahead, behind, and to the side of the whole formation.

Overally, they are making good time ;they should reach the Latin Peoples within a few hours.

The Agustas planes were seen by the anti-aircraft, which fired swiftly, trying to take them down. Citizens awoke to hear an emergency broadcast alarm, some ran to get their children and go into the shelters. Insurgent infantry began to prepare for battle if needed.

The entrances to the city were defended by heavy machine gunners, as well as snipers on the buildings. If the Roman Army attacked through the entrances, they would meet with the bullets of their guns.

The dropship was passing over TLP airspace at its maximum operating ceiling. The pilot contacted grounf control in the capital.

"TLP Capital ATC, this is Juliet-Four-Niner-Niner. We will be deploying a free-fall unit onto the airport grounds. Repeat, free-fall unit to descend. We will be leaving yor airspace after we confirm the safe descent of our unit. We request that your military send ground transport for 16 special forces soldiers to pick them up. Over."

Revenant looked at the open back of the craft. It was over 2 miles to the ground. A long drop, but for him and his squad, a nice leasurely drop, not even close to their record. The light turned green and his squad moved to exit. The pilot gave them the standard Shenyangi wish of luck when performing a free-fall.

"Spread your wings and fly."

The ODST dove out of the craft. As they fell through the darkness of the night sky they performed some stunts, backflips, spins, and the like. The ODST were notorious for pulling things like this. Finally they triggered their canopies and landed fast onto the airport's tarmac. They quickly stowed the chutes and got out of the way of any aircraft that could be taxiing their way. They checked their weapons again, a time honored tradition within their forces. 'Your weapons are your life, if they fail, so do you, but if they're in perfect order they will show you the way home.'

"Sirius, the P-8's survive?"

"Of course Revenant. They may be foreign, but they're pretty tough."

"Everyone still here?"

"Roger."

"Alright, now we need a ride."

(Bah! Therefore let us show to them no mercy! Let us destroy the whole city and kill them all! God knows who are His!)"

The imperator leads the pilots to the back ranks, where they create maps showing where everything in the city is...

20 minutes later:

In the city of the insurgents, missiles and howitzer fire begin to fall like rain. They crash into many of the buildings, exploding...blowing out glass, and causing entire structures to fall and crumble. Infrastructure is likewise targetted, becoming cratered and pulverized. Missiles and artillery shells fall continuously, methodically moving up and down across the city, wreaking havoc...the intent clear: to completely flatten the city.

Citizens ran for their lives, insurgents ran forward into the battle. Machine gunners and mortars fired into the Roman Army, taking down some of their soldiers, the targets would be those soldiers who were operating the artillery, etc. Snipers also began firing, a mass amount of bullets flew in the air, towards the Roman Army.

As for the insurgents, they lost many of their soldiers. Corpses could be found in some places, while nurses were taking the wounded away from the battle. The city of Drusilla was being demolished, not by bulldozers, etc but by artillery and soldiers.

OOC: I'd like to point out first and foremost that absolutely none of my soldiers are visible. They're all inside armored vehicles. I posted a link.

IC: From within one of the Ariete Tanks, the Imperator smiles with glee as his plan comes to fruition. Indeed, the Roman empire had only recently been consolidated, and this would be the very first ever war that She would send soldiers into battle. Indeed, so far as the Imperator could see, today would be a day great glory for Rome.

Through a small porthole in his tank, he watches as the insurgents flee from their crumbling city, firing blindly at the Roman vehicles. Their bullets ultimately fall upon steel, and bounce uselessly to the ground. Via radio, the Imperator sends only a single word: "Nunc (Now)!"

In Ancient Rome, one of the most famous battle formations was the "turtle," in which Roman legionaries would lock together their shield both above, to the sides, and behind them, ultimately creating an impenetrable wall, except for their own spears, which would cut down the otherwise helpless opposing infantry.

Today, this great formation is realized now not with shields, but with the Dardo and Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles. Dust flies up, and a squealing sound is heard as a hundred Dardos, packed each with 6 infantry, their guns poking out of small portholes in the side of the vehicles, peel out from where they had been parked, breaking from their formations, and surge towards the ground infantry.

They maneuver into the midst of the attackers, and as soon as they are effectively surrounded by their enemies...

Machine guns fire, both from the main armaments of the vehicles, and from the G-36s of the infantry within, begins to fall upon the otherwise helpless infantry. At this very moment, literally hundreds of guns, and thousands of bullets, begin to pour into the insurgents, while at the same time, the artillery and missiles, almost a mile back, continue to rain hell upon the city.

His Imperial Majesty has no interest to intervene, but has nonetheless devoted resources to monitor the situation. If the Royal Family is harmed in any capacity, His Imperial Majesty may consider intervention to return order to the reckless land on the side of the right.

ooc: If you're laying siege to a city, sending IFVs in line formation is suicide. that's why they have staggered formation - more targets and better coverage of terrain. Besides, if it's an urban landscape, you're going to break once you hit the streets anyway. It's not open terrain, which might be ideal for linear tactics (unless the opposition doesn't stand directly in front of you); even if the city is leveled, there are craters and standing rubble in the wake of the aftermath.

OOC: I am back now, sorry.

The insurgents began to send their mortars and rocket launchers at the turtle formation coming towards them, while at the same time trying to disable the Roman artillery, which was a problem for some of their positions. Many insurgents were being slain, and the news of the Battle of Drusilla had reached the government in New Rome. The insurgents would not retreat, for some in their ranks mixed Communism with militarism, as well as a fanaticism similar to World War II's Japanese soldiers.

===================
"Drusilla is under siege by foreign soldiers?"

Titus Britannicus was amazed a bit to hear the news, but he knew that it called for action. "We will watch the events closely. If the insurgents are defeated, contact the foreign soldiers." he said to his Cabinet. "We have to stabilize the nation."

Titus dismissed his Cabinet and then looked out his office window at the 2:00 AM sky. He could not sleep even if he wanted to, because he had to work and stabilize the nation, which would not be an easy thing to accomplish.

ooc: sorry to seem blunt, and sorry to clutter this thread with ooc comments (a big taboo in my book...); but I will say that you did kick a$$. I'll also say that you shouldn't spoil the spoils by ignoring the greater picture. Instead of sending IFVs through a crater landscape after an enemy that is probably running farther away faster in terrain that is hospitable to him, you could continue pummeling them with aircraft, artillery, or at least not send your troops over a dead city.

Not to make things less glorious, but if I were leading that army, I would first demand its surrender; after receiving a denial, I would demonstrate what would happen if they didn't surrender and ask again; if they refused a second time, I would starve them and pummel them again; if they refused me a third time, I would then level them. Makes for a great standard, and you're more likely to take entire cities if they know that there's a chance to get out alive and a chance to be obliterated. If they only know that they get obliterated, they won't surrender to you, which is more palatable to me. You don't win wars by destroying the enemy; you win by assimilating them. This is my lat comment tonight; good luck to the winning side.

The attempted attacks agains the artillery ultimately come to naught. Simply put, they are just too far away. When the rocket launchers are brought out, the artillery and missile launchers begin driving backwards, creating more ground between them and the attackers, still firing at the city, determined to flatten it.

Inside of his Ariete, the Imperator shakes his head, obviously annoyed. While the mortars have up until now been more or less completely useless (light mortars are anti infantry, not anti tank), the rockets have begun to pose a problem. While most of the AFV's had escaped, 5 had taken direct hits, and had exploded entirely. He sends a radio transmission to all but the artillery and missile launchers: "Venite omnes. (Come all.)"

At this point, determined to end this, the remaining tanks and AFV's move in. The 600 Bradleys form a semi circle around where the insurgents are entering, and begin firing, as do the 500 Dardos that had been inactive up until this point. So, at this point, 1195 more or less fully loaded AFV's are pouring pounds of bullets into the insurgents (Just to calculate this, this is at least...more than 8 thousand guns firing simultaneously at a relatively small number of people).

Meanwhile, the up until now inactive 400 Arietes come up, firing their charges at the foremost structures from which snipers and rocket launchers are firing, most likely causing them to crumble in on many of the insurgents.

Last but not least, the remaining 95 more or less untouched Agustas begin making airsweeps, firing down on the rocketeers and mortar launchers.

In the background, the retreating artillery make efforts to finish their demolition work.

(I believe by this point, sheerly because of the numbers involved, all of the insurgents should be dead, and the city should be completely leveled, no? Perhaps in the next post, you might describe an enormous field of dead bodies, and an enormous pile of rubble? Also, include perhaps the actual number of dead insurgents, and the approximate cost in damages?)

The city by now was in ruins as the Roman soldiers marched in, stepping over the dead bodies of insurgents. Citizens still waited in their shelters, etc but only if they were lucky enough to survive the battle. The city? Was there still a city? Technically there was, but it was now in ruins.

Corpses and the ruins of buildings were everywhere, the insurgents had been defeated ny the Roman Army, about 1000 to 3000 men had perished, 1000 to 3000 insurgents perished in the battle. An approximate cost in damages would be thousands and thousands of dollars, perhaps even millions.

The news of the defeat of the insurgency here would soon reach the government in New Rome, and there was a question to be asked and answered. Would the Roman Army take control of Drusilla or eventually give it to the government?

20 of the Bradleys drive up to the edge of the city once the smoke clears, soldiers pouring out from them (about 120 strong), gripping their rifles. They begin to sweep through the rubble, trampling on (not over, on) dead bodies of insurgents in the process, capturing the remaining civilians. Once the all clear sounds, the Imperator himself steps out of his Ariette, surveying the damage. He takes out a small glass salt shaker, and pours some into his hand, and sprinkles it symbolically over the ruins. "Nihil vivat in te denuo (May nothing live in you again)."

When he does so, the captives are led to him at gun point. The imperator adresses one of the soldiers. "Trahe cellularem telephonum tuumque haec nota (Get out your cell phone and record this)."

Once the soldier does, the Imperator turns to face the people.

"Vos omnes adfigo Romaeque hanc totam terram. Parebitis ergo leges Romani. Secundum illam legem, poena rebellionis mors est. Communismus rebellio est. Sivitis communismum. Ergo vos condemno obnoxios rebellionis. Condemno vos morique condemnabo omnes quos haec facereque perdam urbes suas.

Therefore, I condemn you guilty of rebellion. I condemn you to death, and I will condemn all who do this, and destroy their cities.)"

The remaining civilians then are thrown down onto the ground onto their stomachs, and then shot in the head and back by the soldiers until dead. The Imperator turns to face the soldier with the cell phone, commanding him to send the video to the ruler of this province.

"Iube eum haec disseminare omnibus hominibus suis.

In order to ensure the fleet's safety submarines were stationed in a matrix around the fleet while several flights of F-35's and LU-45's flew around the fleet providing air cover..Several of the attack subs were now shadowing the Chrisilian fleet preparing to strike at the slightest hint of aggression.

Revenant, Polaris and Sirius entered and walked to the desk. The people there were scared stiff and everyone in the line quickly made way for them. Their faces were obscured within the armor, so no one could see their expressions.

"Excuse me, I'm Brigadier General Knight of SSOCOM, 16th Tactical Operations Unit, the Operational Detatchment Shock Troops, not that you've heard of us. Anyway, we need 4 pick-ups, that'll run over any terrain in this nation, and you probably shouldn't expect to get them back. What'll that cost?"

He handed over a credit card, the name said only: 'SSOCOM 16th TOU'. The attendants handed over the keys and scanned the card.

"Thank you very much."

Before leaving he dropped a rather substantial amount of cash on the counter and then left.

"Leon, why you tip them?"

"Dunno, probably just gave them more than they'll make in a year between 'em."

"How much did you give them?!"

"Around 150 thousand Golden Tij, Sirius."

"How can you afford that?!"

"I'm inclined to ask you how you can afford your Mclaren F1."

"Obviously the pay I get from this job."

"Exactly."

They took the squad to the vehicles, a series of F-350 Super Duties. They were painted black, overall the ODST liked them, and hoped that they'd survive this operation, while honestly doubting it.

Each fireteam loaded onto one truck and the tactical convoy pulled out of lot in formation. They headed for a predetermined area to begin causing havoc. Their objective was to reach the flanks of the enemy forces and start destroying their supplies and other infrastructure.

Marcus Carius was meeting with his generals, planning more attacks. They had sent more insurgents into Drusilla and were keeping a watch on the other foreign armies/navies being sent to Nova Romania. He decided to have more rebel attacks on the countryside, hoping to disable the cities. All over Nova Romania, rebels began to attack in the countryside, cutting off the cities from the country.

As for Decimus, Marius had hoped for him to commit suicide as a suicide bomber, taking the Prime Minister and his family with him. As for the Imperial Family, Marcus would deal with them later.

==============================
Rebel infantry retook Drusilla and concentrated more on the countryside. Reports in New Rome told of rebel seizures of government positions all over the nation, they were even in the process of seizing ones close to New Rome itself.

Marcus Carius himself visited a fallen government position, and he gave a speech about "never ceasing to fight for the Revolution" He then helped raise the rebel banner and they proceeded to find more government positions that they could seize and take control of.

Off the coast of TLP

After several hours of continuous shore bombardments the Gatawan ships began picking targets further inland to target with their SLAM and other cruise missiles...primary targets were found via satellite sweeps...after target priorities were set several salvos of missiles streaked across the sky towards TLP..main targets were power plants and airstrips along with air defenses..meanwhile the fleets battleships continued pounding the beach with high explosive shells and white phosphorus shells..the landing craft and other amphibious assault ships remained in the center of the fleet awaiting to see if the blockading vessels would allow them entry..

Vice Admiral Jason Fisher finished reading the latest round of reports from his Intel shop. He looked up to address the assembled officers from his staff and the staffs of Marine and Army units embarked on the amphibs.

"As of 1435 Tolvanic Standard Time today the Roman Army has withdrawn from Druscilla and TLP territory. Even though the primary reason for our presence is no longer present, the suits back in Brayton still want to show the flag. These pissants from Chrisilla think they can go around imposing bloackades with this handful of tubs they call a navy and that is unacceptable. Our orders are to continue steaming towards TLP waters and challenge the bloackade openly, if they stand down we prove out point, if they resist we sink them. Additionally we should be prepared to assist Gatawayan forces in their campaign against the TLP rebels. That is all you people know what to do."

This is Admiral James Kingston..Gatawan 3rd battle group commander..We request to know your intentions towards our fleet...at this time we are viewing you as a neutral party and are in no danger from us..our primary mission is to suppress the communist uprising and install a new government if the monarchy can not be saved...

Communication to Chrisilia battle group

Kingston downed another shot of brandy..before beginning his message

This is Admiral Kingston commander of the Gatawan 3rd battle group..This is an official command from the Imperial government to stand down and move out of our way or you will face military actions against you..further threats of action against us will not be met with a warning but instead will be displayed to you through undiplomatic means..the Imperial Government does not take hollow threats likely..and believes firmly in the adage actions speak louder than words

Our presence here has two primary objectives:

Deter further atrocities by Roman forces and facilitate their withdrawal from Latin territory
Challenge, and if necessary, break the Chrisilian blocakade of TLP waters


Has the first objective has already been met our mos timmediate concern is the Chrisilian blockade, though we anticipate little trouble from their small force of obsolete vessels.

As long as your forces avoid straying into potential areas of hostilities between Tolvanic and Chrisilian forces I foresee no problems between our fleets.

We are haters of commies, adn communism in Greston is treated with the death sentence. So we are sending men to crush the rebels. As a first strike 600,000 men are being sent, and if it is to go up to our highest threat, 2,000,000 men will be sent.

The first company to enter TLP was to be a company of Jaguars. Following right behind was two companies of TM-3s, and circling above to protect them was all of the Attack Model Hietels. On the east side of the armada was 700 Black Eagles, and on the west 600 Arietes. Behind this procession was the First Conneticut Regiment of 800 men, as well as half of C company.(1,500 men) In charge of this armada was LT.Gov. Johnathon Bradley. Their first stop was Drasilla, a city the Rome Army took this morning. They were to make allies, then move on to take the capital city. Once at the capital city Defcon 2 would come to affect. "Jimmy! Get me a radio! Oh thank ya. Hello, Rome Army, do you copy. Do you copy, over. Armada 2, GM, roger, location, um beach front, over. Do you copy over. They don't copy. Sgt. get me a translater, 2 Jaguars, 1 TM-3, and 3 Black Eagles. I move up to Rome Army camp, and you stay here with the armada. Lt.Gov. Juslety you have control while I'm gone. Ya got that!"

Off the Coast of TLP
The Grestonian Navy was moving with the rest of the Defcon 1 men. As the moved closer and closer the sight of a small blockade was to be seen. "Are they mad. HA! we could sink them with only a digny. Lt. Harvoy." as he said his name he passed him, a sheet and orders, "I want no trouble landing on TLP. Get the Califoria Dock in the front, and have it sink their flag ship. Then let the Queen Maries Revenge and the Delkor ships do the rest. I am not wasting time on diplomicy. And it will help Gataway get in. Now remember your orders." "Yes sir." Lt. Harvoy then walked away to carry out his orders.
Exactly 13 minutes later the largest ship in Fleet rose to front going faster then all of the other ships. It's larger guns rose up and it got prepared for battle. Then as the armaments were put up, the Greston flag rose, high above the fleet, and the blockade. Then... BOOM! the loud peircing sound metal chrunching under the single round echoed so even the people in the back of the Fleet could hear it. The largest ship in the blockade lowered a few yards into the water. BOOM! Again they fired killing anything on the first side. Then they let out secondary armament. The machinegun rounds rattled the enemies boat's deck, as well the crew on it. White uniformed men fell from the boat. Then to ensure the death of the blockade's flag ship... BOOM! then the ship tore apart. Then the 17 Delkor ships and the Queen Maries Revenge plowed by as if the boat Lt. Harvoy was on was in park. Then the sounds of Naval battle reached the Lt.Govs. ship again.

The ODST reached their temporary base, an ovehang on the side of a mountain. The vehicles were hidden and the ODST prepared for their first move. Through out the area there were weapons and high tech equipment. Revenant stood up to address the squad.

"Alright, we're going for an old school revolution favorite people. This, is an enemy convoy route. It's not used by civilians, because as you can see, its a rutted, uneven, and generally bad route. We will set an IED at this point, blocking off any forward motion. Then our snipers will initiate the attack. Darkleaf."

"Alright the snipers will array on this nearby hill. Suppressors will be used to maintain our concealment. No ghillies, we're far enough out as it is, so veils will do the job. Our targets are, in this order, the final vehicle in the convoy, both it and its crew. Shoot to kill, we can't have any survivors. Then we are weapons-free, engage targets of oppertunity in support of the assault team. Revenant."

"The assault team, broken down into our standard fireteams, minus the snipers, will be hidden off the sides of the road behind the final vehicle. Once the convoy is trapped we will move in and engage the vehicle crews. We can't have any survivors on this one, even though we can't be ID'ed its a matter of OPSEC. Once more, everyone should be running suppressors. We'll be using the standard assault template. Any questions?"

"No sir."

"Move out."

The entire force mounted up on the trucks and headed for their ambush site. Along the way Polaris began working on his IED. It was ready by the time they arrived. The weapon was set and the snipers were in position. The assault team hid the vehicles in the woods and took up their assault positions.
It hadn't been more than a half hour when the convoy came into view. The lead vehicle hit the explosive. Its wheel was taken clean off and the vehicle quickly rolled over. The snipers went to work on the rear vehicle. A .57 caliber round punched through the engine block of he rear vehicle and it quickly came to a stop as more rounds punched through its tires. Even run-flats couldn't survive as many hits as these were taking. Rounds pumped into the cabin of the vehicle. Anyone inside was guaranteed to be dead.

The assault team moved in. Supressed weapons of every type were whispering as rounds penetrated the vehicles and hit everyone that dared oppose them. Occasional rounds from the enemy hit the ODST assaulters, but their armor repelled the incoming fire. Finally, once everyone was dead they set explosives on the vehicles and set them to a 5 minute timer. The trucks headed off the pick up the snipers and the entire unit fell back to their base using a pre-arranged escape route, which would throw off any attempts at tracking them down. The trucks' liscense plates had been removed, so they couldn't be identified.

"What the hell was that?" "Dunno, but it wasn't good that's for sure. Move in the group and keep the tanks close together." They moved up towards the noise they heard then saw a large convoy blown apart. Blood smeared all over the path, the vehichles were black from all of the heat and fire. Bullet holes decorated the tanks up and down. "Wow. Waters get a spec on these tanks, find out who's they are." "They're TLP vehichles, sir." "Damn. I wanted to have some fun. I wonder who has the caplebility of doing this."

OOC: Just as clarification, those were communist forces I attacked, so no one gets anything confused.


IC:
The ODST debriefed back at the overhang. They had accomplished their mission flawlessly. A few of them had pockmarks on their armor from enemy rounds. No one was actually injured, which was the expectation of the ODST. Officially they were the super-elite of Shenyang, however they were actually a semi-autonomous unit within SSOCOM. They did things like this, which would be, dangerous, for Shenyang to admit. They used special ammunition produced by a Shenyangi arms company, Dectoral, the ammo was designed for two things, accuracy, and lethality. The ODST were extremely careful to elliminate any indications that they were responsible. Dectoral ammo was widely used by elite units and private military contractors, so its presence merely would indicate that someone who knew what they were doing was responsible. They had confirmed that everyone was dead, and had successfully destroyed the convoy. They cleaned their weapons thoroughly and then reloaded all their weapons.

Mission Accomplished.

"Waters give me that radio." "Why?" "Why? Don't ask me why. Just toss it over. Thank you." He caught the radio, then turned a top dial, pulled out the antenna as far as it could go, then stuck it up to the sky. Nothing, only bdgfhfbghfbvf. He twisted a few more dials then did it again, he was more sucessful this time. He heard hundreds of different vioces, he knew most of them, but there was one he didn't know. He looked at the bar on the top of the radio, the scale number said 114-57, "Boys I think I know how to find out who those people were. Waters were at 114-49 right?" "Yes sir." "Well thier at 114-57." "How do you know?" "because I used an old Greston radio trick, I turned a couple of knobs, then it showed me every radio in a 10-0 radius. Good thing they have a radio, or I would've never found them."

OOC: That'll be fine, just don't expect a warm welcome. They're rather suspicious of anyone who they haven't chosen to meet them.

The ODST couldn't believe it, they'd managed to make a rookie mistake. They'd been detected, even with all the encryption and frequency hopping they'd been detected.

"Alright people! Set the table, arm up, we're gonna have visitors, and who the hell knows how many of them. Polaris, we're gonna need explosives if they have vehicles. Darkleaf, get the snipers hidden."

The ODST immediately sprung into action. They set up a defense perimeter. This was exactly why they chose this location, it was more defensible than an underground bunker, and the ODST had enough weapons and ammo to hold them off for a week.

"Don't fire until we're certain of their intentions. Repeat, do not engage until we're sure of their intentions. Sirius, get the CQC unit into position, if this hits the fan, you guys are going after their CO. Move It!"

The CQC unit hid out near the route the enemy would have to take. Once all the units were in place all the ODST could do was wait, and prepare to kill anyone that arrived with hostile intentions.

He pulled out all of his pistols laying them on a rock next to him, he then unzipped his boot and took out a Jack knife from his sock. He passed Waters his Rifle and submachine gun. He stripped down all weapons and anything that would make him look suspicous off, except for a Jack knife and a colt pistol. "Waters do the same, you and me are going there alone, they probably don't know we are allies, so don't look suspicious. Hult you have charge of the squad while I am gone. You ready Waters? Make sure to wear the flag, everyone knows we are against the commies. Good, let's go." they then set out on their walk. The land over here was barren. Mostly desert, and mountain. There wasn't much wildlife either, the most they saw was a lizard. To find out were he was he checked the radio again, but this time the other position didn't come up. But they were close, they were at 114-53 only 4-0 away. "Almost there, Waters. Take a sip from your cantene, your dehidrated. It's friggin hot out here. Ya know what I might drink some myself." He then sat down leaning against a rock. He leaned back a gulped down two mouth fulls of the warm, murky water. So he put it away and pulled out his other cantene to drink a more "pleasant" beverage. Four minutes later he stood back up and said,"Okay water brakes over. Get the hell up." They walked even closer and when they were at 114-56 he whispered to Waters, "Stick up your hands, and put them behind your head to show we are peaceful." Waters did what he was told, and Lt.Gov. Bradley stuck one hand behind his head, and his other hand holding the Grestonian flag. And they advanced into 114-57.

The ODST CQC specialists exploded from the ground around the men. Their guns aimed directly at the men. They ignored the soldiers and led them toward the overhang. Sirius, her voice laced with a tangible amount of contempt, told them to walk.

Finally they arrived, and Revenant stood up, his SPW was aimed at the ground.

"Give me your name, rank, and your reason for being here, or we're going to have a serious problem."

Sirius and her team stepped back from the men, but her dual P-7's stayed firmly trained on their backs.

The person who was obviously the leader pointed at Waters. Waters was still to scared to talk, and now that a gun was being pointed at him, he couldn't breath. "That be Thomas Waters, he is a translater and a corpral. He is here for the same reason as me.

Revenant used standard ODST procedure, and gave his order in Ancient Shenyangi, a language that was literally only spoken by the ODST, and one other person on Earth. There was absolutely no way they could translate this, the language had been developed totally independent of outside influences, and didn't use anything remotely like a modern word, or even a word in a dead language.

"Sirius, put the P-7s away, but keep ready, I still don't trust these guys."

She nodded, and slung up the PDW's. Revenant began speaking to the Lt.Gov. in his language.

"Well, well, well. All you need to know is that I will only be known as Revenant, that I am a Brigadier General. We're here to assist the government in ending this rebellion. Unlike yourselves we have no problem with communism as an ideaology, and our only reason for being here is because they made the mistake of taking a member of the sovereign ruling family hostage. We don't intend to win this war, we intend to break the will of the revolutionaries and bring both sides to the bargaining table so this can be brought to a peaceful conclusion. Now if you have more to discuss with me, I suggest that you do so very quickly, because we don't intend to stay here very long, and we don't like visitors."

His helmet completely obscured his face, he was totally safe from being ID'ed by these two. He felt bad for the interpretor, not for the Lt.Gov. though.

The Gatawan armada sat in position off the coast..after numerous satellite sweeps they had discovered the best possible area to land the invasion force, for now however it was time to soften up targets.

The fleet suddenly seemed to roar to life as hundreds of VLS tubes came to life firing salvo after salvo of missiles towards TLP land..most targets were coastal defenses, however a few nearby airstrips and communication structures were also targeted..not to be outdone several of the fleets battleship turrets got in on the action pounding the beach with high explosive shells and shells containing high concentrations of CR-gas..the bombardment with shells and missiles would continue for the next four hours..with missile strikes targeting more and more airstrips and communication structures.

In order to ensure the fleet's safety submarines were stationed in a matrix around the fleet while several flights of F-35's and LU-45's flew around the fleet providing air cover..Several of the attack subs were now shadowing the Chrisilian fleet preparing to strike at the slightest hint of aggression.

OOC: I think this was your bombardment post, here is my reply.

The coastal defences became activated as the rebels fired back at the ships, a barrage of rockets hit some of the enemy ships, but the rebels who were in this area seemed to be having difficulties. Their right flank was being disabled and forced out of the battle, while the left flank was trying its best to survive, the center was stubborn, it would not go down for now.

The rebels fired high explosive shells of their own at the ships, they had some at the time, some of the ships were on fire and heavily damaged, but that only intensified the bombardment.

Finally, after several hours, the rebels decided to abandon the position and leave, but in reality they hid in the bushes, the trees, hiding from any army who would land, if the enemy passed by, they would attack them.

Revenant considered for few moments. He didn't like having foreigners with his forces. Especially terrified interpreters. Still, these people knew where they were, for the moment. He ought to play along, for now.

"Fine, you can stay, but we're doing things our way, so we're going to be operating under our own jurisdiction, on our own. Don't expect any normal military comforts, we're living off the land, and out of those trucks. Don't let me catch you compromising my operation, or you won't be going home alive. If you slow us down, I'll leave you in the middle of nowhere, and if you tell anyone what we look like, SHE will track you down and kill you."

He pointed at Sirius. She pulled one of her throwing knives, and twirled it, then re-sheathed it.

"We will not operate along-side your forces under anything but the most dire circumstances. Am I Clear?"

ooc:You do know..that RP's are ran in fluid time..which means you can't buy new equipment and put it into this rp...also you don't have the defense budget to support a massive fleet..anyways..I am withdrawing from the Rp due to other circumstances..

Soldiers marched on the roads leading to New Rome, planes flew in the air, artillery was towed along, the massive rebel army was planning to capture the capital, ending the conflict. The rebels had suffered against the foreigners, but the March 5th Offensive would be extended to fight them after New Rome collapsed. Nurses also walked along the roads, one of the nurses was Princess Flora, who had been transferred to this army as a nurse.

The March 5th Offensive had a secret codename, "Operation Stalin", named because it was the anniversary of Stalin passing away. The plan was to seize New Rome and finish the conflict. Marcus Carius had already contacted Decimus, telling him to prepare for his mission.

The army did not reach its destination so they made camp for the night. Princess Flora stayed with the nurses that night, helping with maintaining all the equipment. Flora knew that soon she would have to see the wounded, operating on them, amputating their arms and legs, she was a nurse after all.

The next morning, the army began its march again, advancing towards New Rome with every step they took. Flora stayed with the nurses still, carrying her medical bag. In her pocket, she had the book she was reading before she was kidnapped. Flora was not focused on the wounded, she was hopeful that her family would be safe.

===========================
Rumors of the rebel offensive and news of the foreign interventions reached the Emperor, who was reading Tristram Shandy in his private room. As he read, a man came to him. "Your Majesty, I have came here to advise you to find refuge in another nation, you may be in danger."

Emperor Tiberius set down his book and looked at the man for a while, and then replied: "How can the shepherd abandon the lost sheep?" By this, he meant he would not leave until Flora was found. He could not leave her here.

"Sir, you must consider..." the man said before being sent away by the Emperor, who began to contemplate heavily on the situation. The Emperor went to his wife, and saw her looking at a family portrait, she looked saddened. He talked to her, but found that her sadness was not going to leave her.

=====================
Flora was with her new friends in the nurses area, some of the other nurses sympathized with her and tried to help her become a good nurse. They were resting at their area, having dinner (nurses did not eat with soldiers), which was quite good actually.

Meanwhile,

Marcus Carius stood outside his tent, looking at the road leading to New Rome. In his hand, he held his sword. He pointed it towards New Rome and said to himself: "Soon, the dragon will be slain." He then went back to his tent, preparing for the days ahead.

On the TLP territorial waters, the fleet was armed and ready to move in, "Lt. Harvoy, you remember the orders, correct?" "Yes sir." "Then carry them out." "Yes sir." Lt. Harvoy left, and Lt.Gov. Wassick moved in to take out the rest of the blockade. He walked to the head of the boat, then said, "Show no mercy." BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! the boats exploded, water flew up as high as Lt.Gov. Wassick, then machinegun rounds, then again BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! so many rounds were fired, that not even a fish could have survived, that bombardment, "Keep 3 Delkor ships, and some corvettes here, the rest of the fleet move in. No wait. JACKSON! You and your Delkor ship bombard the coast, make sure to get the trees." "Yes sir."

I want an all out win, go to Defcon 6." "SIR! Are you crazy, 2,000,000 men already!" "If I wasn't crazy would we be winning this war? No. So we are going to Defcon 6." "Yes sir."

The massive rebel army reached the west side of the city of New Rome, and began preparations to seize the city from the defenders who remained. Marcus Carius had a meeting with his officers in the afternoon, they discussed the battle plans they would use. In some time, the city of New Rome would be under attack by the rebels, all the defending soldiers could do was wait.

Seeing that threats to the Royal Family were rising, sects within the Imperial Government felt that it was necessary to intervene and prevent the massacre of the Royal Family. The Emperor approved a plan to extract refugees from The Latin Peoples - numbering around 1500 people on the next vessel to the land. Special accommodations would be taken for the Royal Family. The vessel is expected to arrive within a week, with a convoy of three frigates and five submarines to prevent naval attack upon the vessels.

IC Declaration:

His Imperial Majesty has embarked to entertain humanitarian operations in the troubled lands of The Latin Peoples and while it has no intention to intervene militarily, the Emperor has summoned vessels of the Imperial Navy to assist in evacuating displaced persons from the country, to ensure their safety from future conflict. His Imperial Majesty also asks for sensible persons to end the conflict quickly, to allow the subjects of the land to resume their peaceful and charitable lives.

EDIT: ooc: you should really ask Greston how he has any forces at all..check the calculators he has no defense budget TLP you can technically you can ignore the 2 million soldiers on your land since they can't even exist unless Greston invaded you with street cops.....also Greston I've launched an Invasion of your lands in order to protect TLP...since TWSP is now involved it is almost certain the communists will win..well if he deploys troops they will..anyways here is the thread...

The ODST were ready to head out, they loaded up on the vehicles and headed out to their new base. They had been compromised in this area, and they didn't intend to stick around for the enemy to figure out where they were going. Revenant walked up to their Grestonian observer to let him know the ground rules for the move.

"You are not to disclose your location, under any circumstances, over any communications gear. You will not under any circumstances contact your forces, or anyone else without my expressed permission. You will not disclose anything you see, hear or otherwise sense to anyone ever without the expressed permission of myself, and my nation of origin. Which, since I have not disclosed it, will never come."

He turned away and gave the signal, everyone loaded onto the trucks and the entire 'convoy' rolled out to reach their next TBO. They stayed off main roads, and most of the squad were hiding in the beds of the trucks. The squad once more took a seemingly random route to reach an abandoned farm. All their bases were chosen before the operation. They hid their gear and took control of the buildings. Now began the planning of their second strike.

"WHAT! The president has put us in Defcon 6! No? What? Okay, I understand. Boys, we won't be getting those reinforcements. Gataway has declared war on us in the home land, so if to much men are here we will all die. So he is keeping it at 600,000 men." "Sir, does that mean we will all die?" asked Lt.Harvoy, sadness was in his eyes and throat, he would never see his family again.

Revenant looked at him, honestly wishing he could see Revenant's face. He wasn't the kind of person you gave orders to, unless you'd earned his trust.

"You will not disclose anything about our identities that you may gather. When it's of importance you will be issued weapons. We've got enough different weapons to fill the armory of a small nation's military. If you think you'll have to report, you will report our actions, not our language, not our armament, not our appearance or gear. You won't even mention my rank. If you are asked to give a more conclusive report, then tell them that you were kept in the dark most of the time."

He walked over to a weapons case and opened it. It revealed an MP-5K, a AK-101, and a pair of Beretta 92F's in .40 SW. Each was heavilly modified.

"What in this bag can you use Proficiently? I don't mean you've been 'familiarized' with it, I mean what are you comfortable with. What will you prefer to use when the time comes to pull the trigger? AK-101, nice, balanced, accurate, simple. MP-5K, compact, tough, concealable. 92F, .40 Smith and Wesson, high power, heavy recoil, short range. I need to know because I don't want you floundering with a weapon you have no idea how to operate when the enemy is closing in. I will not endanger one of my squad members to save you unless it's absolutely necessary."

He closed the bags.

"You made the mistake of finding us, and now you're going to have to deal with it."

OOC: Its an IC comment, its not necessarilly his outlook, just like how the ODST are down-right unpleasent, but I'm not insulting anyone OOC.

IC:

The ODST had identified a new target. This time it would be a small power station. When they were ready Revenant called everyone to a central room and began the hap-hazard briefing.

"Alright, if everyone will direct your attention to the map on the wall, you will se that there is a circled power station. This place provides power to roughly half of the power to the surrounding area. It's a geo-thermal facility, so there'll be a lot of pipes and pressure vessels, as well as plenty of steam to use for cover if we need it. The plan is to disable the plant in a quick, efficient, and severe fashion without destroying it. Sirius."

"Alright, the facility is a tangle of pipes, tanks, heat exchangers, and the like. You'll notice from the blueprints that this facility has quite a few choke points where we could run into trouble. To that end, we'll be hitting the place hard, and fast during the pre-dawn hours. Intel shows that the rebel guard is at its weakest around then. We're going in after these," She indicated a schematic of a heat exchanger, "they're the main heat exchangers for the plant, if we hit them, the entire facility will be stopped dead. We'll also be hitting the control room. There our objective will be to destroy the control consoles after initiating a full shut-down of the plant. This will essentially make the plant inert. Professionals will be able to repair it, but not the revolutionaries. Revenant."

"Alright, we're going to use the assualt template from the succession war operation for this one. We will NOT be eliminiating the civilians. Try to secure them. Anyone who opens fire and isn't a civilian or guard, kill them. We're going for another quiet op here, so use your suppressors. Alright, the mission will begin in 8 hours, so begin getting ready. Dismissed."

The ODST returned to what they'd been doing, be it guard duty, cleaning their weapons or any number of other things.

The time had come. The ODST assembled their gear and vehicles and prepared for what may actually be a battle. Much of their gear was battle-scarred, but in perfect order. Prominent among these sets of damaged gear was Revenant's severely scraped and pock-marked armor and Sirius's scratched and gouged vest.

The ODST refused to off their gear until it was on the verge of failing, and despite its appearance, their armor was still more than capable of repelling enemy fire. The mounted up on the vehicles, the Grestonian observer was once more placed in the same vehicle as Revenant. The vehicles began rolling out toward their next objective.

Had anyone broken into the building after they left, they'd have found nothing. Footprints in the dust and some non-descrepite pins on one wall.

Revenant looked at the Grestonian, "Alright, when we hit this place, since we can't afford you dying on us you're joining my element. So, that's me, Sirius, the guy with the Mk.48 Mod 0 and the female sniper with the modded EBR Wraith. Don't get away from us and make sure you cover your zone. We may be covering it too, but if you see someone who ain't a civilian or guard, you waste that S.O.B. before he does anything more than twitch. We're going to be headed for the control room, so we'll have some heavy fighting along the way."

He patted the suppressed M-249 SPW that sat next to him on the seat. The weapon was possibly the most menacing weapon wielded by any ODST. It still had the standard solid stock, which only served to make it even larger and more imposing.

"This baby's only failed me once. I was out of ammo. That was a long time ago, I learned my lesson then."

The trucks turned suddenly down a side road. They continued, and soon a sign came into view that showed they were close.

'EarthPower Geo-thermal Facility Ahead'

"Alright, this is our stop."

Revenant pulled over his truck, as did all the ODST, they were roughly a mile from the facility, and the trucks were well hidden. They headed on foot for the fences surrounding the facility. When they arrived multiple ODST cut through the fence and the squad passed through this newly created gap. The facility was in the midst of a guard change, and no one had reached this part of the facility yet. The squad splintered into its 4 elements and they all headed for their individual objectives.

Revenant, Sirius, Gobi, Darkleaf, and the observer (since I'm not sure of his name) headed for the control room. As expected there were a large number of soldiers guarding this area. Revenant quickly ordered Darkleaf and the observer to take up positions to engage. There were 8 soldiers between them and their objective. They waited to ensure that no one was having trouble.

"Able Element to Bravo Element, report."

"Bravo Element in position, 12 confirmed Tangos at the Objective 1"

This continued until he was sure everyone was in position. So far no one had been fired upon, and they'd killed a combined total of 14 soldiers.

"All Elements, Gabriel. I repeat Gabriel."

That was the Go-Code. The units all engaged simultaneously. Revenant's team unloaded suppressed weapons on the soldiers. Darkleaf moved up carefully once everyone was down, M-169 at the ready, and secured the dead men's weapons. Revenant took a position to enter the room. He slung his M-249 and drew his Mk.23 Mod 0 pistols. Darkleaf kicked the door in and Revenant lead the way.

Meanwhile, Polaris's unit, Element Bravo, engaged at the second heat exchanger. Polaris readied his favorite weapon, the XM-109 Payload Rifle.

"Sahara, cover me."

"Roger that."

Sahara's M-60E4 chattered behind the suppressor and many of the soldiers took cover in hopes of surviving the firestorm. Then Polaris fired a single round. The 25mm Armor Piercing High Explosive round did its job, piercing the side of the vessel and detonating. The vessel burst in a torrent of water. The ODST were on a platform above the projected level of the water, and thusly remained safely dry.

"Objective 2 complete Revenant."

"Affirmative."

Gobi kicked the door of the control room in just as the vessel erupted. This masked the noise. Sirius swept in on point. A pair of guards got off a few shots. Two connected with her armor, one impacted on her leg. She flinched and swore but kept going. She ran up to one of them and slammed him in the face with one of her P-90's. He fell over and the other guard was incapacitated by a shot from Gobi's taser. Revenant looked at the technicians.

"Get out of here! NOW! Don't touch the alarms or we'll have a problem! GO!"

The technicians ran for their lives.

"Alright, get to it people."

The ODST went to work deactivating the facility. Unfortunately, none knew how to do this. Sirius was getting quite angry, both with herself, and the guard, as well as the machinery. She brought up her P-90's and unloaded into a control panel. The facility went into automatic shut down.

"Sirius, the plan was to leave it intact."

"It's not turning on for them now is it?"

"All units, mission complete, repeat mission complete, head for extraction point 1."

The squad ran out of the facility as fast as they could. Sirius wasn't the only injured ODST, but no one was critically hurt. They boarded the vehicles and then made their way back through the complex evasion protocol.

Back at base the ODST debriefed. Sirius was sitting with her wounded leg up. She bandaged it as best could be done in the field.

Once the de-brief was complete Revenant and Polaris walked over to Sirius.

"You gonna be okay Sirius?"

"Of course. That son of a... ah, he only freakin' winged me, its just gonna hurt like hell for a few days."

"Good, can you still fight or are we gonna need to sideline you?"

"Sideline me?! Are you insane?!"

She stood up and took a step toward him, beneath her helmet her eyes were alight with a mixture of fire and fear.

"I'll take that as a no. Don't worry, you're still on deck."

"Thanks Rev."

She sat down and began mending her camo. Se also removed the armor itself and examined the damage to it.

"Not any worse than that time with the Claymore. I still love this stuff."

"What's our next target?", asked Lt.Waters, to the Revenant. "if you don't have one there is one facility that we must get to shorten the war. I picked it up during one of the waiting sessions here." He had a very different tone to his vioce then when he started, and he had a different opinion of the ODST agents. It was if he was a different person.

"I only got a few seconds of it, but it was very bad. We might have a secret enemy, from outside. They landed a few days ago, and they are supplying the rebels. What we should do is take the roads leading to the main bulk of the rebel army, and blow the hell out of anything that comes trys to go through. It will make it easier for the Grestonian Soldiers, and the TLP soldiers, on defending the capital. How about it. We could save alot of men from dieing."

"We can't hold a road. We may have the weapons for it, but we don't have the people. I'll take that into consideration though, we may be able to cause some trouble."

He was beginning to formulate a plan. If he could track down this 'facility' then the ODST could do something they were experts at, wholesale destruction.

"Fox, get online with Intel, we need to know where this facility is, what it does and how well defended it is."

"On it."

Revenant sat down to clean his weapons.


OOC: So, do you have any particular ideas for this facility or should I just make it up? I'm gonna guess its got to do with H-Town Tejas's forces, unless you tell me that's wrong of course.

OOC: It's up to you on what you want to do, I just need H-Town Tejas to move his troops before we can, and I might want to bring in an agency of ours much like the ODST, they did something awhile back to Strator and they have been very unactive, would you mind if they worked together with the ODST, if so we might have enough people.

OOC: Its certainly do-able, I don't have any problem with it. Just as some fore-warning though, the ODST won't be changing their opinions, it takes years of joint operations for them to become remotely trusting. It gives me a nice way of evolving character interactions if they slowly begin trusting others.

"Revenant. Greston has an agency much like yours, and the last time they did something was in winter. Would you care if I bring them in?" Revenant gave a slight nod of acceptence, then Waters ran off and grabbed his radio out of his pack. It was dusty and hadn't been used in almost 2 weeks.

He twisted the top knob, then pulled another. Then he twisted the rank to 1,061,724. He then pressed the knob he pulled back in, and a static sound came from the old radio.

"Hello, Lt.Waters to G head command, please answer. Open, requesting that you let the hawks i...."

"Letting the hawks in? Are you mad? We haven't activated them in monthes. Before the conversation goes on anyfurther, what is you Lt. No., and your location?"

He had to think about that one, he wasn't asked his Lt. No. in monthes, he looked into his pack to find his patch. The bag was empty except for a water bottle cap, a ID card, and some cobwebs. he flipped the bag upside down and looked in the side compartment. In there was nothing but a reciet for a Bullfrog RS Sniper Rifle, and... his patch.

He twidled the patch between his thumb and forefinger then read out the numbers.

"Lt. No. 13678, located in TLP dessert."

"Good. Now what is ytour status and why do you want to bring in the hawks?"

Waters repeated his story, from the blown up convoy to the destruction of the facility this morning. It took him almost an hour untill he was finished.

"How many Hawks?"

"47 well trained ones, the best."

"Then you'll want Michael Ding's ex group."

=================

"This is the first time in almost a year that you men have had a mission. You men know that when ever you are called for a mission, the mission means more then your lifes. Such as the first time, when I called you out to free a bunch of slaves from Strator. Men why are you gathered here?"

"Communism is a problem in TLP, and to stop it better forces then regular Greston Soldiers are needed. So we are being sent in to aid an ally, to kill the commie rebels."

"Very good. Get out your weapons, and board you assigned boat. All of you will be supplied with the finest Greston has to offer. One of the many weapons you will have are the Bullfrog RS Sniper Rifles, that just passed yesterday. Now good bye."

Revenant had nodded, but inside he was, in a word, furious. He left Waters and gestured for his team leaders to follow him. He headed for the barn, away from the building, and out of earshot of Waters. Once he was there he began pacing. Then he started his 'update'. He was speaking Ancient Shenyangi, but even if one of his compatriots didn't understand it, they'd have known that he was about as angry as he could be.

"DAMMIT! Now that GOD DAMNED OBSERVER is bringing it some of his own forces to WORK WITH US!"

His team leaders shifted. It was obvious that they weren't keen on this, and that their sentiments pretty well mirrored his own. They didn't have to voice it, years of combat operations had built a bond between them.

"If these guys are who I think they are, then we're gonna be a little bit beyond knee deep, Hell, we're going to be in this s*** so deep we won't be able to find the surface!"

Polaris wanted to make an attempt at defusing Revenant before he did something he'd regret, which was exactly what he was headed toward.

"Comrade, Revenant, please, calm yourself. Is only necessary that we work with them on this one mission. We take their help, then leave observer and disappear."

It didn't work as well as he'd hoped.

"All our plans are based around a certain number of people, working in perfect concert. Adding these guys to our unit is going to be a major pain. Much less the fact that we'll have to sort out some kind of chain of command, this is gonna be hell."

Sirius didn't like the idea at all. Ever since she'd been 18 she'd been trying to recover from a traumatic event. She had developed a 'rather minor case of Androphobia', and lost most of her ability to trust anyone, especially men. It had taken over 2 years for her to recover, and since 2005 had been trying to learn to trust the ODST. She'd succeeded, but that was almost as far as her trust could go. (She's 24 now, so she's been traumatized and distrusting for 6 years now, if you were wondering about the timeline)

She shifted slightly. A part of her brain told her to be angry, a part told her to run, a part said that she should try to trust them, lastly one part told her to murder them one at a time, to protect herself. She tried to fight the varying emotions inside her.

Revenant looked at everyone, his anger only barely starting to cool.

"Everyone, dismissed. Go back to what you were doing."

He headed for back toward where he was keeping his weapons, to ensure everything was in order.

OOC: what do you plan on happening with the ODST and the Hawks, it looks like I might go down 47 of them by the time this war ends
Shenyang
12-07-2007, 00:18
OOC: Not sure, a lot of distrust by the ODST is the only thing I can guarantee at this point, of course, they don't really trust anyone anyway.

Fox entered the room where Revenant and Waters were quartered.

"Revenant, Intel has nearly nothing on this facility. So far all I've got is that its there."

"Alright, you did your best Fox, its time for a little more aggressive recon."

Fox nodded and walked out. Revenant opened a private line to Darkleaf.

"Darkleaf, get over here, I've got a mission for you."

"On my way."

Darkleaf entered the room. Her sniper rifle in hand, her armor was already partially ghillie'd.

"Rev, what'd you need?"

"Alright, I want you to take a spotter and one of the trucks to these coordinates, and find out what the hell this place is, what it does, why its here, and who's it is. I want you back here within 48 hours, with a detailed analysis of the facility's exterior. You know the drill, who're you taking?"

"I think that Mojave would be the best choice, he's got good eyes, and he'll listen to what I tell him to do."

"Then he's all yours."

"We'll be back sir."

She left the room and headed to where she'd been working on her camo. She grabbed Mojave along the way and briefed him. Revenant looked at Waters.

"Sometimes, physical intel is the only intel that's worth a damn."

He finished cleaning his M-249 and moved on to the Mk.23 Mod 0's

Within an hour Mojave and Darkleaf were on their way to this facility. They used one of the rental vehicles and made it through the lines without any trouble. They got within a few miles of the facility and set up on a hill over a mile from their vehicle, as well as from the facility. Their ghillie'd armor blended perfectly with the environment, and the ODST armor shields thermal as a standard feature.

"Alright, Mojave take the west half, and I'll keep an eye on the east. Remember, we're not supposed to engage unless we're made."

"Got it beginning survey."

Darkleaf peered through her Horus Vision scope, and Mojave used a 16x scope. Each kept a log of what they saw. They went unnoticed for 40 hours, and then returned to base. Their notes made it clear that the facility was very professional, and that any attempts to deal with it, or the surrounding area would be extremely difficult.
