The natives of Pyy'guchi and Kyrg'mar lived in peace for generations. However, with the discovery of precious materials on the island by the Stoklomolvi government, and with the odd turn of weather, it was all about to change.

To the Stoklomolvi Authority on Alcatraz Island,

This is the BFS Deity, we are inquiring if there is a port on the island where we can land and off load the colonists? Just wanted to ask before we start inflating the rubber rafts.

We apologise, but there are no ports on the island from which you may dock. The only port on the island is located at Kyrg'mar, but that is a native dock which you may not use. Inflate your rafts if you wish to do so.

After hearing the reply from the Stoklomolvi Port Authority, the captain weighed his options. Finally he decided that the easiest option would be to "accidentally" beach the ship. "Its theses Stoklomolvi charts, I can barely understand them," yeah that's what he'd tell them. It would still be easier than shipping 1000 people and they're stuff, plus supplies from the ship to the mainland, using 5 10 passenger inflatable life boats. It was night, these were treacherous waters, it would be very easy to accidentally beach yourself, never mind if you were doing it intentionally. So he continued on the current course, even when he should have turned south. His first officer warned him, and he ordered full right rudder, but it was too late. The ships bottom scrapped the ocean floor. The ship less than a mile off coast. The Deity was a flat bottom cargo ship so there was little to no damage to the ship.

The INS West India, a cargo carrier/cruiser, and the INS Eperopolis, a colony transport, cut through the tropical waters off of the island.

The Eperopolis's prow made a soft schuffling sound as it hut the sand. A Kiravian colonist, in full Imperial uniform led his followers onto the beach.

"Comrades! God has led us to this providential land, which we shall rule and tranform for its betterment and ours! I hereby found, by the grace of God, the City of Saar-Tropicplain!"

With this, he thrust the silver and green Imperial Star flag into the sand.

After th official ceremony, work began. Trucks and jeeps were unloaded from the ship, and were loaded with food, medicine, building materials, capital goods, tea, water jugs, fuel, batteries, equipment, information technology, personal belongings, and tools.

They were driven to the colony site, where construction of the city's walls began. Cement was poured into molds, and the blocks were piled atop one another until the 10 foot high wall was complete.

Tents were set up by the individual colonists, and prefabricated storage shelters were put up to contain all the boxes, barrels, tanks, bags, and cases of cargo that the colonists had brought. Its mission complete, the Eperopolis moved out to sea.

The West India, however, moved closer. It carried electrical cables, pipe conduits, and specialized personnel who would make the colony function as a normal Kiravian town.

THe Kiravian settlement of Alacatra Isliauv, as it was called in Coscivian, had begun.

The massive ramp of the cargo ship folded down allowing most of the equipment to be driven off to the colony site. The whole process took only 2 hours for the entire ship to be unloaded. Then the captain sent out his message, "This is the BFS Deity we have run ashore and require assistaince. We do not appear to be damaged, but are unable to dislodge our selves form the island. Assistance would be greatly welcomed."

The ships silently went ahead. The people above were grim as wails were heard. The news had arrived and one unlucky person had lost her husband in the War. It was a somber atmosphere. The ships was designed for a lack of ports and there were several large inflatable rafts. Most of the people aboard the ship were escaping the war. They were glad to do their duty in a non-threatening way and there had been a run on tickets for the ship as it was considered military service. Thus no fear of getting drafted. The men all had FBAR-01's and an idea of how to camp. It was the best Fordock could do for its first colony. There was a war going on after all.

The Fordockians back home were overjoyed to know their close ally Kirav was also establishing a presence. It would allow them to quickly establish a block of power in the North. This would be good for then resources would flow.

The men brought with them molds and other useful supplies. They were to make some sort of city and expand from there trying to benefit the locals and secure resources for Fordock.

The men went onto the rafts silently their guns tarting out at the Island. There was a sense of foreboding in the air. No one knew what would happen. So the sat there on the raft tense waiting.

Finally the raft landed. It reached a northern point. The colonists set up camp as they awaited the rest of the colony with supplies. Until then they were to carve out lean-tos and wait for a day. There was a lot of supplies. The men went to bed uneasily.

The next day the supplies arrived. The pouring and mixing of concrete began and the City was named in a grand ceremony. It was named Oiuv. It was the name of the husband of the crying women on the ship. Nobody would remember but it was a nice gesture and a rare name. Now construction continued as the men waited.

An armoured car left the gates in the middle of the night and patrolled the beaches. It spotted the ship owned by the Theocracy of The Beatus of the shore, and continued to drive along the sand. It drove onto lush grass and around the incredibly thick jungle to the city of Kyrg'mar. After spotting the natives doing their annual rain dance, it continued driving until it spotted the Kiravian settlement. It sped up, and once it reached the walls-in-progress the Port Authority officer popped out.

"Ho! Where is the leader of this fair hamlet? I must speak to him!"

Meanwhile, another armoured car drove out to the supplies unloaded by the BFS Deity. Another PA officer appeared, and radioed the fort, which promptly sent a construction crew to dig out the mess.

The captain was watching local tv when he saw the weather bulletin. He mediately checked the satellite picture for the area. "This is bad really bad," he said to himself. He ran to the bridge. "Status report!" he demanded.
"Same as it was last time you were here," said the first officer not even noticing the captains tone. "Ships still not moving, and no ones answered our distress call."
"I was afraid you were going to say that," said the captain. "I want you to make an announcement as calmly as you can," said the captain.
"Yes, sir," replied the first officer. "What is it sir, the dinner menu."
"No son, I wish it was," replied the captain. "I need you to order all hands abandon ship and make for the mainland," said the captain.
"Yes, s," the first officers said before he realized what the captain had said. "Did you just say to tell the crew to abandon ship."
"Aye," replied the captain.
"Why?" asked the First officer.
"Because in about 6 hours were going to be in the middle of a category 5 hurricane, thats why," replied the captain.
The first officer finally understood the gravity of the situation. He ran to the PA system and announced to the crew, "Attention all hands, Attention all hands, this is your first officer speaking, by order of the captain, abandon ship immediately. This is not a drill." Then he pressed a red button next to the PA system. Alarms began to sound through out the ship. The first officer was one of the first men off the ship. He knew as well as the captain that when the waves began to hit the ship would be shattered against the beach.

Many people were already setting up they're home the way they wanted them. Though at this point that was very hard to do as it was pitch black and all they had were candles and flashlights. All the power was currently going to government operations. As soon as the wireless was operational they telegraphed Fort Vladistov.

All windows were shut by small reinforced gates. The hurricane hit the island at around 0700 hours. It was a Category 5 hurricane, and in the distance the little village did not move at all for some odd reason; it just stood there, while the trees were getting blown about. A number of trees close to the fort were uprooted, and with winds exceeding 300 km/h the storm surge slammed into the side of the fort.

The water level around the island increased by 7.5 metres, flooding most of the villages. The villages, however, had houses that were on stilts around 10 metres high. Also, the houses did not move, and smoke coming from the chimneys were in perfectly straight lines for some very odd reason; while trees were uprooting all around them the houses did not move.

At around 0830, they had to start the pumps because water was collecting near the tunnel entrance. It was pure luck that entrance lead upstairs or the whole colony would have flooded. The generators however were right inside the entrance due to the need of ventilation. It was a constant struggle to keep the water form shorting out the generators. In the end they resorted to using buckets in tandem with the pumps to prevent power lossage.

A few hours ago the winds had begun to pick up and the clouds to appear. The gulls still sang but there was tension in their voice as they looked out at the gloomy water the sun barely shining. It grew cold and began to rain. The rain continued growing in fiercenesses until it was heard whipping through the trees. The trees groaned as they bent back letting the wind pass them over their bodies stripped of leaves. Then the crackle of lighting began. It snapped too and through and their were scenes of fire as lean-tos burned. The people ran to shelter but their was little.

Finally it stopped. People came out of their homes to look at the destruction. It seemed like but a few were hit and only some dead. It was more economical damage and damage to morale. Of course that was before it was realized it was but the eye of the storm.

The people were not spared as they were sucked up by spawned tornadoes. They tried to run back but many were killed. Eventually some made it back.

The storm then blew out for real this time. Now they had but to deal with looters and the destruction of most of their work and 20% of their population.

Police Officer walked up and said, "Whats going on here?" Just as he said that the lights flickered on.

One of the engineers, startled, accidentally shot his gun in the direction of the police officer. The others, hearing gunfire but not knowing where it was coming from, either ducked down or shot in random directions. The paramedical leader, who was nearby, also turned around with his pistol and started shooting. After but one moment the hallway turned into a fire fight.

A number of SMPF officers outside heard the shooting, and immediately ran inside. They saw their own engineers firing on the police man and work man, and then promptly shot the engineers.

A group of police officers nearby heard the gunfire, thought the natives where attacking, and threw a flash bang into the stairwell, before running in shooting they're pistols wildly killing the SMPF officers.

Eventually, after the SMPF were getting hit by gunfire, natives actually did come. The natives, using their AK-2130 Assault Rifles, started shooting blindly into the hallway. Three of the SMPF were down, and two more wounded. The last one tossed an M17 Fragmentation Grenade into the group of policemen before getting capped in the head by a pistol.

After a few more moments of wild shooting, an armoured car owned by the Stoklomolvi PA arrived. The officer stepped out.

"What on earth is going on here?!"

The natives stopped shooting and looked at the officer. Then, they ran off into the jungle.

Two of the police officers, dazed and confused from the grenade blast, continued shooting wildly into the hall. Two of the rounds ricocheted off the armored car, and one of them hit the Stoklomolvi PA in the foot. By this time everyone had emptied they're clips.

The PA officer cursed, and waved his hand. The armoured car fired a single warning shell into the side of the hallway. Afterwards, the officer limped towards the policeman who had shot him in the foot and slit his throat with his knife. When the PA officer radioed Fort Vladistov; the reply was not friendly at all.

"YOU DID WHAT?!"

"So I knifed him. Big deal. He shot me in the foot!"

"DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THIS COULD DO TO OUR RELATIONS WITH THE BEATUS?!"

"Well, um, sir..."

The gunner in the armoured car received the signal, and the cannon promptly turned towards the PA officer. One cannon blast was fired and the PA officer was vaporised. Paramedics arrived from another helicopter and tended to the wounded.

The gunner popped his head out of the APC.

"Sir! It appears that incompetent men from both of our sides have killed each other over a fusion reactor! We have reason to believe that one of your workmen continually severed the power line leading from the fusion reactor to your colony, sir!"

The driver then popped his head out of the APC as well.

"I agree with him, sir! I think it is better for both of us that these incompetent fools have died, sir!"

"Fusion reactor? What fusion reactor?" shouted Governor Hilbrich.

The workman stood up and brushed some dust of his overalls. "What'd I miss," he asked.

"Oh, good. Now Lucky do we have a fusion reactor?" Governor Hilbrich addressing the workman.

"Nope, Sir."

"I didn't think so. I thought I would have remembered that..." and he continues muttering more saying basically to the same effect.

Beach near Fort Vladistov

The beached ship had supplies ferried from it to the construction site near Fort Vladistov. Meanwhile, some of the natives had come to plant their crops near Fort Vladistov, as was tradition for that tribe. However, when they saw that other human had come to take their spot, they got quite angry. The leader of the band went to the gates of the fort.

"I tell you not build thing here. Now you build thing. Where will we plant crops and food?"

The officer at the gates looked over to the construction site.

"Oh, dear..."

The natives walked away from the officer and began to attack the engineers with spears and AK-2130 Assault Rifles purchased from the fort to defend themselves against wild animals.

OOC: I assume this is me.

The engineers were caught by surprise. The few guards protecting the entrance were killed within seconds - these engineers knew how to fight.

The officer in charge, one Brigadier-Commandant James Wentwhistle, heard the gunfire from the outskirts.

"Officer! Report!"
"Sir, we're...[static]...attack from the...[static]...tives...[gunfire]"
"Repeat message! Do you require assistance?"
"Affirm...[static][gunfire]...natives breaking...[static]...argh!"
"Officer, report! Officer! Damnit. Get me the Evenesce!"

Five minutes later

"Captain Andrew McLellan speaking. What appears to be the problem Commandant?"
"We're under attack from the natives - small arms and spears. We're going to need an armed guard, and cover for now."
"Aye, commandant," sighed McLellan. First he gets sent on a colonisation run, and now he's expected to provide a bodyguard to that pampered landlubber who can't even hold off the natives. Ah well, on to work.
"Air Control? Launch the SeaLords, marines and vehicle compliment, and I want one of our diplomats on board. And I want that leader brought back here alive."

Within 15 minutes, a fresh compliment of Sealords had left the LPD. Heading toward the new settlement, their marine compliment were gearing up. The diplomat? Praying.

Beach near Fort Vladistov

The natives eliminated most opposition, while suffering a number of casualties. One stubbed his toe on a rock jutting from the sand, while another tripped and fell into a puddle of water and was bitten by a crab. The last one was shot squarely in the forehead by one of the engineers.

The officers at Fort Vladistov were helpless to join; if they sided with the natives, then it would generate hostility between the nation of Pan-Arab Barronia. If they sided with Barronia, then the natives would be hostile. As such, they remained neutral in the conflict.

Meanwhile, a single pirate cruiser had been spotted over the horizon. Apparently, its crew had heard about the island's rich resources and were planning on stealing some from the colonies. Two of the corner naval batteries on the fort started firing at the pirate ship from afar, but it was largely ineffective.

"Got one!" cried one of the engineers, as one of the natives hit the floor, a decent portion of his cerebellum now splattered on the ground behind him. Several of his comrades were dead, and they were forced to retreat inside the walls.

Once the Sealords had arrived, however, it would be a different story. Now less than 10 minutes away, they would bring men and supplies that would tip the balance in the settlers favour.

Once the natives were dealt with, then the Air Service would be brought in. And the real construction would begin.

While all this nonsense was commencing, the Kiravian colony prospered.

The plantations of pineapples, papayas, coconuts, sugarcane, breadfruit, and tropicale were beggining to sprout. The defencive emplacements were completed, as was the port. A ship arrived carrying miners, prospectors, scientists, merchants, egnineers, technicians, specialists, new settlers, and labourers.

Although no one in Tropicplain was of school-age, work had begun on a new school building, in expectance of juvenile immigrants. The new deaslination plant was finally at full capacity, and produced enough to provide for air-conditioning. Now, the heat-sensitive Kiravians could ive more comfortably. Internet, TV, and telegraphic netwroks had been set up.

Still, the colony remained little more than an economic outpost. There was not yet a police force, a public works department, or any normal municipal institutions. Such needs were organised by the Council of the city, and then taken care of by the colonists themselves.

The men in the armoured cars, now experiencing the same anger that the engineers did, popped out and ripped off the fake stone to reveal a fusion generator. They started yelling at the governor.

"Now listen here, you old coot. This here fusion generator generates enough electricity to power your whole little colony here, understand?! Mighty expensive too, could have costed you over several million stoklomovs, but we're givin' it to you for free, you lucky *mumbling*...."

They stormed back into the armoured car, and drove off, spraying mud everywhere.

With all of the natives dead, the construction began in peace. However, this would not last long. The angry natives, with their "diplomats" dead, got rather angry and drove a number of lorries and an armoured car over. There, they shoved the building materials aside, and stubbornly farmed the land. The men at Fort Vladistov continued to do nothing; they did not support nor did they retaliate for fear of generating anger.

To the leader of Fort Vladistov,

Two men in a armored car were just here. I demand they be returned to stand trial. They illegally installed a fusion reactor in our colony. They did so with no approval. They didn't even think of telling someone. They violated so many safety protocols that its to many to list. They even bricked it up into a wall. Then they opened fire on my people. If you fail to return these men to stand trial than I will send this up to my superiors, who will talk to your superiors. You don't want that do you?

"Damn it, retrieve that message again."

The message comes through, revealing its true meaning.

"Ah, so that's what happened."

The two men in the armoured car appeared a moment later, and they walked up to the gates. They were talking and laughing to each other.

"Ha! Did you see that, those fools believed- Ah."

Two officers, armed with AK-2130s, appeared from the door. The two others stopped, and were about to say something. They were then shot.

The stairwell was immediately sealed off. Engineers suited up in radiation suits and approached the reactor. They were holding Geiger counters to detect if there was any radiation leak from the reactor. They detected a large amount of radiation originating from the reactor. The engineers determined it happened when the men from the armored car had ripped a hole in the wall, penetrating the reactors containment structure. The engineers couldn't believe the stupidity of the engineers of Stoklomolvi were. Installing a fusion reactor with out wearing proper protection equipment. They were probably already going to die before they were shot. The engineers knew that the only effective fuel for a fusion reactor is a 50/50 Deuterium/Tritium mixture. An autopsy had been preformed on the dead engineers and it had been found that they had received more than lethal doses of Tritium. The engineers carefully removed the reactor form the alcove in the wall. A truck was backed up to the cave entrance and the reactor was carefully loaded on to it. The truck drove down to the gates of Fort Vladistov. They carefully unloaded the reactor and taped a note to it. The note read:

You seam to have left this at our place. We have returned it. Your welcome.

The destroyed fusion reactor arrived at the gates. The gate guards, upon noticing the fusion reactor, ran inside and donned ABC suits. They slowly walked outside, took the reactor and placed it carefully in the sand that jutted out behind the fort. They then ran as fast as they could inside, and one of the shore batteries fired on it, destroying it in a massive explosion that flung contaminated sand everywhere. A number of SMPF officers rushed outside and sprayed everything with a type of liquid which decontaminated the surrounding the area.

While engineers were decontaminating the stairwell, other engineers were monitoring the Binary Cycle Hydrothermal Power station. All was running smoothly. They were still laughing at the incident that had occurred with they're boss, Lucky, in the stairway. "Those idiots," one said. "I know, a fusion reactor," said the other,"why would you risk a radiation leak using a fusion reactor?" "At least Lucky figured it out, otherwise we might be dieing of radiation poisoning now," the first one finished.

Report, flash flooding imminent. All citizens on the island are encouraged to move to higher ground to escape flooding.

Beach near Fort Vladistov

The natives, in defiance, deliberately ruined prime building ground for their farm. They tore up the construction, and planted seeds. Soon, the rains came again, and water poured out of the sky onto their seeds. However, the storm caused another surge, and the villagers were submerged under the water while continuing to farm.

The Tropicplainers were fervently preparing for the imminant flooding. The digging machines intended for construction were cutting trenches intothe earth around the village. THe men were reinforcing the walls with sandbags. Natives hired from the island were hired to help. The Imperials and the Natives were hunkered down indoors when the rain began to fall.

The trenches held the floodwaters for a few hours, but soon overflowed with mud. The silt and rainwater began to swarm up around the outpost walls.

While the storm battered up the colonies, Fort Vladistov went under lockdown once more. The natives continued to farm under the water (?!) and did not drown even after staying there for many minutes. At the Kiravian colony, the natives promptly got up and left in the rain, albeit without getting wet. They travelled back to their colonies, where people were walking around, bartering, or talking without paying much attention to the water that was up to their chests.
