Sasha City, Greal

It was another cold night in Sasha. The city was busy on Friday night, but no-one took notice of someone screaming in a big brick house in the 5th avenue.

10 minutes previously, 5 men had entered the house through the back door, each man was armed with 1 Glock. They were Red Skull agents , they were ordered to kill a civilian that lived in a Brick House for criticizing the Greal Dictatorship Government. When they entered the house, the civilian panicked and ran, but he was cut down by a agent waiting in the house, they hid body somewhere in Greal that way no one will know what happened to the civilian

The Red Skull agents however were unaware that someone was videoing them in the house. Hidden in the closet, was a man named Paul. He had heard for years that a government police agency called the Red Skull had been killing people secretly without international attention.

The moment the Red Skull agents left the house, he quickly sneaked out of the house and ran to the nearest News studio.

At the studio, he managed to show the video of the Red Skull Agents killing the civilian on the international news. After 15 minutes the studio was taken off the air. But the whole world had seen the footage....

The Greal Government announced that the footage is fake and was made by the "enemies of the state". And the Red Skull had to spend the day shooting people at the studio......

To the Esteemed Leadership of the Greal,

We are very sorry for what has happened in your nation. It is always a shame when a nations secret police become public. The thing to remember now is they have become more powerful. Now that people know about them, they will fear them, now they are both a surgical interment to cut the cancer out of your nation, and a deterrent. Enclosed I offer one of my nations finest bottles of red wine, hand picked from my privet stock to congratulate you on your formation of a secret police. I am sorry I had to learn about it in this way though. Well let me just say congratulations and remember, deterrent.

Message to the Beatus

What secret police agency, what is your nation talking about?

OOC: The government is denying that there is a secret police agency.

From: Rebecca St. James, President
To: The Leader of Greal

We would like to condemn these terrible acts that you have committed. The lies of your regime ring hollow in our ears. Please note that we shall act if necessary. Though most of your people may seem loyal, under a dictatorship, most are Double-Thinkers. The public attention given to your Secret Police merely shunts more people away from True Believers, and into Double-Thinkers and Dissidents.

Though your population may seem loyal, your nation is turning into a termite infested house. We shall do whatever Providence demands so that your people may be free.

Rebecca St. James
President, The American Privateer

OOC: Read The Case for Democracy, by Natan Sharansky. No dictatorship has the loyalty of the majority of the population. Not even Hitler had a following as large as the average President does.

The E-8 JSTARS was not your typical AWAC. This one was specially designed for transmissions. As it flew, a squadron of F-22 Raptors accompanied it, as they made their way toward Greal Airspace.

Inside the cockpit, the pilot flipped a set of switches, activating the EM cage around the Transmitting studio, and isolating the Communications System from the Transmission System.

"This is JS-234 to Greal Airtraffic Control, requesting permission to flyover Greal Airspace. Repeat, this is JS-234 requesting permission to flyover Greal Airspace," the pilot stated into his headphones.

In the back, the Communications Corps was busy prepping the dish to transmit a signal over the Satellite, FM, and AM radio stations.

"Colonel Rochester, is the Tape ready?"

"Yes sir General. The Transmission tower is greenlit 5 by 5."

OOC: Expect some more Ghost elites as well as normal Ghosts in Greal soon

OOC: I am willing to be that strong Ally

We would like to suggest that you do not get involved with this incident. All nations who come to aid Greal shall draw the attention of The American Privateer.

Belkaros supports Greal in this matter, secret police or not. It is not for other nations to judge how a government maintains the people's loyalty. If a war is to break out, the peoples of Belkaros and Fonzuania will stand with Greal.

To: Imperator Gnaeus Mundus I
From: Rebecca St. James

The use of a Secret Police on a population is a Crime Against Humanity under the TAP'ian Uniform Code of Military Justice. As such, my nation is required to do everything that we can to free those people from the rule of a dictator.

The Leocardian Embassy in Greal had seen the footage before it had been taken off air. Shocked, terrified, and a bit threatened, the ambassadors in the embassy reported the obscene footage to the Leocardian Government. The exact replica of the video had been seen on the President's maindesk, and he was sick at how the agents trapped the civilian. But he was not in grief or surprised of this video. Leocardia has its very own secret police force, itself, killing and disabling many civilians that pose a threat to the nation's stability and security. It was often mistaken that Leocardia was a dictatorial state, but they weren't... even if the United Nations considered them to be one.

Leocardia's Foreign Embassy Affairs sent messages to the embassy in Greal explaining that Leocardia isn't surprised, because we have done it ourselves as well. But would like to send a message to Greal that Leocardia will back them up if threatened upon a nation who feels offended.

OOC: for now, this is just us spreading propaganda. However, I am willing to work out how to start the war if you so wish.

"The Raptors were along on a training exercise. Sadly, we got a little turned around in a massive lightning storm, guess we still need to work on the EM shielding in our systems. Note, that the Raptors are not armed with any missiles."

"Fine you have permission, but 50 Shark fighters will shadow your group of planes."was the response

miles away, 50 Greal Shark fighters took off from a airfield to shadow the foreign planes.

As the planes lifted off, the F-22 Raptors dropped back slightly, keeping the E-8 out of missile range.

Meanwhile, the crew of the JSTARS got to work.

The EM cage was dopped from power, as the Transmission Tower lit up.

"People of, Greal, we support you against your enemies and your government. People of, Greal,..."

And so the signal repeated over and over again on all radio frequencies.

Abrahamic League Headquarters, Sumguaia:

"Look at this!" the Imam Mohammed Al-Omari said angrily as he threw a report onto the desk of the Rt. Rev. George Claxton. "We must move against the government of Greal immediately, tyranny and oppresion cannot be allowed to exist within the Hegemony!"

The Archbishop sighed and leaned back in his chair. "Yes i know that, but a war is not the best course of action, at least not yet. We must try to resolve this diplomatically first."

"Diplomacy? With scum such as the murderers who are running that nation? They need to be deposed and executed for their crimes, not negotiated with! What makes you think they will even listen to anything we say?"

"They will listen because if push comes to shove, they know who the Hegemon would side with. They do not want war any more than I do. I will speak with their president, the soon to be Mrs. Hasely, as soon as her honeymoon has finished. Who knows, perhaps her new husband will affect her policy and political veiwpoint."

"We shall see. I dont see why you try to reason with evil such as this, they rule by the sword, and that is likely the only way they will ever understand."

"And that is where your philosophy and mine differ. I am of the opinion that people are basically good, if misguided, whereas you seem to think that humanity is inherently evil."

"No man may rightly call himself worthy, it is only in service to God that we are redeemed."

"I agree, but we must help those who have strayed from the path of righteousness, not destroy them. You may leave now, i need to get back to this paperwork."

"Very well."

President John Arnold dialed the number of the Archbishop and said "I saw the footage of the Red Skulls murdering civilians, before it was taken off the air. I am shocked, and angered. My best friend has married a woman from that country that disposes of lives so easily. To be quite frank, I was considering bringing the UFAN, the Soviet Commonwealth and the Hegemony down on Greal's head. "

He continued "I had another idea, a more realistic one, I sincerely doubt that he'd put up with the Red Skulls, infact, being the wife of the President of Greal, he could probably put an end to the Red Skull, without anyone having to intervene."

"That is my opposition plan to the Red Skulls. They need to be destroyed, because they are dangerous."

The footage made it's way to a much smaller country, the Estovakian Union. The national news reported it before anyone in the government could predict, and the outrage was full. Just about everyone in the democratic nation e-mailed the leadership asking to take action, even with there weak military.What entered was something else...

--The Televised message, live in Estovakia, also seen on international channels--

The Leader of Estovakia, Jason Zombolt

"We have heard the outrage, and as I found out, you are not alone. Many nations are also outrage at the Dictatorship known as the 'Great' Greal government. We may be small, and our strength light, we will be the pebble that incurs a mighty landslide! I will attempt to help the Greal people first by showing the misguided Greal leadership there wrongs. If that fails, I hope you will lend us your strength and inspire the Greal people,and maybe the world to the Golden light of Freedom."

The E-8 increased speed, and rose higher into the atmosphere. A signal was sent to an orbiting communications satellite. The Raptors broke into pairs, and made for the ceiling.

"Please hold while we confer with the President," the pilot said, as he flipped the switch, "Madam president, we have been ordered to stop transmission, what should we do?"

"Switch signals over to the radio frequency. I want an Osprey over their country asap!"

In space, a Communications satellite shifted, broadcasting the message over a set of three radio frequencies on the FM band.

At the same time, an Osprey repositioned itself over the capitol, blinking its light on and off in morse code, reading, "Shoot and we shoot."

The E-8 sent back a response, "We are low on fuel, and can not deviate without a refueling. Due to the distance from which we stand from our nation, a Tanker would not be able to reach us. However, we are switching off the requested transmission...now!"

At that moment, the E-8 began to transmit the frequency over which the satellite was transmitting instead.

OOC: I don't want to fight you either. Just know, that I will fire if I have to. One rod can take out a city. Also, that E-8 costs a hell of a lot of money and I only have twelve of them. Not to mention that they are the most experienced men I have. Shooting it down is not wise.

The Greal Government and the Red Skull shut off all radio stations, that meant if you turned on the radio, you will get static.

Greal Shark fighters continued to follow the foreign planes, each Shark fighters had enough firepower to destroy a couple of bombers. The fighters were reinforced by 40 DMG F-44s which moved ahead of the America Privateer planes.

"Interesting, they are jamming everything." the co-pilot of the E-8 commented as the comm link with the fighter escorts was cut off.

"Oh well, there is always the internet."

The E-8 continued onwards, a Keyhole satellite watching it, and everything else in that hemisphere, closely.

The president smirked as she lost communications, "It would seem they don't like us helping out their dissidents."

That brought a nervous laugh from her cabinet, as the Space Command forces monitored the situation.

SAM missile batteries below them were on and ready to fire. But they waited to see.

"Leave Greal airspace now."said a message to the E-8 and the F-22s.

Down below around Greal some people managed to hear the radio broadcast from the planes before it was shut off. Red Skull agents pinpointed people who supported democracy, and began finishing them off.....

"We already told you, we can't! If you force us to leave then you will kill every member of this crew."

The President, seeing the SAM's, got on the phone to the pilots, "I am authorizing use of ATL's if fired upon. Do not let them bring you down."

Meanwhile, the Secretary of State got on the phone to the President of Greal.

OOC: FYI, if you shoot down my aircraft, I will drop an Osprey Rod on your capitol. Think Paris in Armageddon if you want to know what is going to happen.

A new transmission went into play. This time it was from a Leocardian military base stationed in Greal through an alliance measure.

"This is Leocardian Armed Forces. Repel from the territories or expect hostile fire. Repeat, leave or receive hostile fire."

The transmission stopped.

OOC: Drop the rod, and see what happens.

The pilot of the E-8 looked annoyed again, rolling his eyes.

"Okay, I am going to tell you what I told the Greals. We can't. I am going to patch you through to a monitor in the cockpit."

As he did so, he swung the monitor around to show the fuel gauge.

"You see how low it is? We have just enough to reach John Paul Jones Naval base, and not enough to leave this air space," He turned the camera to show his face, his very angry and annoyed face. "If you turn us away, every member of this crew will die!"

When the America Privateer's Secretary of State was calling the president of Greal, she was unavailable, so the Minister of Defense picked up the phone instead.

"Hi, listen. I need to be frank with you. If you shoot down those planes it will turn out very bad. Right now, we will not be able to get a re-fueling plane to them if they leave your airspace, and thus have to pass through your lands. If you want them to turn back and fly around your airspace, then you will need to provide a tanker and fuel for them, because flying around your airspace will cause them all to die. Also, understand that the president has authorised use of our Osprey platforms if fired upon. These rods, dropped from space, will devastate your nation. We have seven platforms in orbit at this time. My suggestion? Either provide our forces with fuel or let them continue onward."

IDS Rowan Cornellius, several miles from Greal coast

Admiral Frank Sawyer lit a Cuban cigar and looked down at the Radar operator next to him "Anything to make my day?" Asked Sawyer "Yes sir, we have an E-8 STARS aircraft over Greal airspace, it appears that they're nearly out of fuel" Sawyer groaned "Get me the crew of that goddamned plane!" He yelled, grabbing the radio and telling the Radio operator to get him the crew of the E-8...

"We got another incoming call!" the comm officer relayed.

"Great, why won't they just let us keep our course!?" The co-pilot groaned.

"No idea," the pilot reported before switching over to the frequency. "This is
JS-234 of The American Privateer. What seems to be the problem?"

"This is Admiral Sawyer of the Cazelian Navy, I heard you need fuel. Do you want us to send up one of our S-3 refueling aircraft to aid you?" He asked, tapping the Deck officer and the shoulder and pointing at a S-3 on the flight deck, and then covered the phone "Start up that plane maggot!" He said in a rather unnecessary tone.

"The S-3 will be enough for us to stay in the air until a Refueling plane, or even better, one of our Hyperions are able to arrive. However, the 12 Raptors flying with us will not be able to make it as far or as long."

The co-pilot snickered at the Admiral's poorly covered attempt to hide his attempt to start up the conversations.

meanwhile, a flight of Hyperions, four in total numbers, lifted off, their powerful ducted fans pushing the massive airships along toward the Greal Airspace.

"Minister," Secretary Franklin began, "I have just been notified that four Hyperions, all of which have been unarmed, are currently on their way to your nation. These have been loaded past their maximum, and will arrive in two hours with fuel for our aircraft. Do we have permission to bring them into your airspace?"

We are against any sort of anti-Greal actions due to this footage. We believe that any nation has the right to run things however they want. Even if you do have a Secret Police, the Grand World Order supports it. We ourselves have a Secret Police known as the Judiciators, which is part of the Federal Guard (National Police), as well as some Special Tactics Force teams that perform "illegal" tasks.

The transmission flickered on again. It was the Leocardian Airforce, once again.

"That's a plan. Get us enough to get them around your space, and we will have them met by our Hyperions."

Greal Fuel tankers took off to fuel the Foreigner planes, they were escorted by Greal fighters.

Ministry of War

For the past hour things have gone from boring to fun in a most unusual fashion. The YouTube revolution has resulted in the leaking of a video of Greal Secret Police murdering an innocent. Of course Greal was a prime ally of the Glorious Republic simply because they bought a lot of weapons and General Resources Conglomerate Lobbyists have a powerful sway.

Of course the Ministry of War was going to follow their own agenda. They began faxing over a rather thick document, around 1500 pages long to the office of the Triumvirate Council to authorize a series of covert strikes against Greal. The Triumvirate Council got an Unconventional Warfare Design Study - 204338-DEN-Greal.

Office of the Triumvirate Council

Fleet Admiral Sandra O'Toole dropped the rather thick design study she was reading. Another Questerian situation has gotten the Ministry of War into an excited bunch and they had reclassified a document which meant she had to personally read it. She was up to some sort of plan to use genetically engineered Tuna filled with poison released by torpedo when an aide ran into the office with two Council Security Officers.

He had a 1500 page long design study that suddenly needed approval. It was from the Ministry of War and it came with a short video summary of the Greal situation and a very excited voiceover.

She snorted at how positive the paper sounded, but she liked the thinking used. One strategy made her smile, and then she noticed a citation to a Defense After Action report dated when she was still a commander of a cruiser.

40 minutes later she had a dusty Defense After Action report in her hands reporting on a similar strategy had been foiled by heavy propaganda and a massive airlift costing in the trillions for the Hatarian government. The new plan had its bases covered, and she signed off on it, and in a few hours the plan would come into action.

Unconventional Warfare Design Study - 204338-DEN-Greal
Page 945

This plan is perhaps the simplest as we already have the toxins in stock and defoiliants specialized. Deployed in Hataria (refer to DAA-1987-109332MMX), this plan ended with a less than favorable outcome due to a multitrillion dollar airlift. However Greal is less than capable of resisting such an effort due to a smaller budget and perhaps less psychotically dedicated people as evidenced by the recent leak.

The diagrams below outline the refitting of a Borei class Ballistic Missile submarine for Toxin deployment and a series of plausible reasons to make this look natural.

[END]

Port Victory, Saharistan

The Colonel Faria Glaser, a Borei class submarine with a midlife Macabeen upgrade had been tapped. The crews were all over here. Giant barrels filled with large Biohazard on them were being loaded into dummy missiles.

The crew had been woken up/dragged out of local whorehouses and sworn to secrecy. Of course they wouldn't be used for this operation. A crew from ONI's Unconventional Warfare division would be brought in, but the actual crew of the Colonel Faria Glaser would be allowed to do whatever they want as long as they pretend to report to base for duty on the 'Colonel Faria Glaser' which was now going to be the Colonel Jennifer LaValle repainted as the Colonel Faria Glaser.

The submarine left that night as the Colonel Jennifer LaValle was dragged out of the scrapyard and set up as the Colonel Faria Glaser. In 12 hours it would be close enough to Greal to initiate the plan.

Greal Fuel tankers took off to fuel the Foreigner planes, they were escorted by Greal fighters.

The E-8 Fueled up first, followed by the Raptors. As soon as they had the fuel, the group flew out of Greal Airspace the way they had come. Then, following the coasts, they flew around until they met up with the massive Hyperion Combat Airships. They flew onward, from then on, and made their way back to John Paul Jones Naval Base.

Secret In Character:
Upon touchdown, one of the men in the back of the plane stepped out, and saluted the Secretary of War, Retired General Peter Moseby.

"What all did you get from the attack, Admiral?"

"Well, not as much as I would have with a normal J-STARS, but we have the locations of several SAM and Radar facilities within their nation. Now we just need to compare them to the images from our Keyholes, and we should be able to put together a battle plan. Soon, those idiots shall pay for violating the basic rights of Humanity."

"Remember your place Admiral, you stepped aside to allow the people to choose a new leader. It is now up to President St. James as to whether or not we attack."

Even more Secret In Character:
That night, four Poseidon Class Submersible Aircraft Carriers slipped out of the harbor, escorted by twelve Seawolf Class Submarines. Meanwhile, four Poseidons and twelve Seawolfs slipped out of an underground submarine base to replace the vessels that had left.

Three of Leocardia's private military bases were alarmed at what had almost happened to be an hostile attack, which they were not prepared for, but forced to threaten action on the hostile forces. The security level of the military bases were raised two levels to increase all units stationed in Greal to become more aware and more prepared as time flies on in this situation.

Deep in the pillar, the guys with high foreheads where watching the Keyholes, and saw the convoy approaching the Greal border.

"I want a monitor watching this at all times!" the chairman of the Joint Chiefs barked.

A flurry of activity, and for the first time in a long while, the screen switched over to an image from their Keyhole-13 from the Global Force Position Projection.

The K-13's where able to read a novel in Death Valley, and where now looking over the entirety of Greal.

Due to recent events around Greal, the Greal army began mobilizing some of its army. The Red Skull continued to pressure the government into to not stop the killings of critics around Greal.

"Wow, there could be trouble here soon," the Secretary commented as he entered Situation Control.

"No argument from me, Secretary," the Chief of the Joint Staff returned.

As they stood watching, the phone rang, "Moseby, mobilise the First Fleet, and get the 6th Hyperion Air Force Squad out there to help with Air Cover."

"Yes, madam president. Do you want them to link up with the sub task force you dispatched last night?"

"No, keep their position secret. Also, send out an order for them to surface one at a time."

The ships where dispatched, and the orders cut.

The secretary and the chief looked at each other, and both of them nodded as a clock went up under the main screen. The 60-Day deployment had begun. Now, the question would be whether or not combat would be seen within that time.

Operation: Silent Wind

The flight deck of the Rowan Cornellius was a scene of total disorder. Hundreds of Ghost Ops and Elites scrambled to their helicopters, aircraft were being painted black to conceal their markings and Marines were taking the Cazelian flags off their uniforms.
It was a covert assault on the Red Skull headquarters...

At 4:32 AM the SH-60 and CH-53 helicopters filled with Marines took off for the Red Skull HQ. The Government knew that casualties would be high and identification was a risk, but those were sacrifices they were willing to make if the Red Skull were to be ousted from Greal and hopefully from all the world.


At 5:02, the Helicopters were nearing the beaches and were expecting AAA and small arms fire any minute, but they pressed on. Aboard one CH-53, Sergeant Zuekus Northfield stared out the opened cargo bay door of the helicopter, thinking about what was going to happen that day. He dismissed those thoughts and headed back into the interior of, yelling out the battle plan and walking up and down the helicopter.

"Movements of hostile ships, withdraw immediately or we will fire."

They knew TAP were planning something, and Leocardia must defend Greal.

OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE FROM FREE REPUBLIC OF OILY PRATA TO GREAL/ UNENCRYPTED

Greal has long been a close ally of Oily Prata ever since her founding. Oily Prata does not forget her friends when they are in times of crisis. Such so, Even if the supposed 'Red Monk' Secret Police rumors are true, Oily Prata will continue to stand by the state of Greal as a whole,not to the ruling government. Should any nation attack Greal without rhyme or reason, they must be prepared to atone for their actions. Such is the will of Oily Prata.
Thank you
Ehre, Wahrheit Und Gerechtigkeit

The Leocardian Military Commission in Greal flickered on again.

"Movements of hostile ships, withdraw immediately or we will fire."

They knew TAP were planning something, and Leocardia must defend Greal.

OOC: Ummm, they are not in Greal waters. I only just RP'ed them leaving the base. The only thing you would ave seen would have been the deployment of those ships and airships to the west of John Paul Jones Naval Base

And besides, the Tomahawk Cruise Missile and F-35 B both have ranges of greater than 300 miles, which means that I don't have to even be within Greal territorial waters to strike.

Imperator Mundus looked up from his computer monitor as Generalis Serogov entered his office and bowed.
"Rise, General", said the Emperor, "and tell me what's going on in Greal. Will we be sending support?"
"It would be in Greal's best interest, Emperor." replied Serogov.
"Very well, mobalize the 008th Legion and a supporting battlegroup, as well as a static defense fabrication team. And get me the leader of Greal on the phone. I want to know whats going on."

On the plains of Edus Belkar, the 008th Legion moved out. Ships left port and planes left the grond. The Empire was going to war...

The convoy rolled up to an armed checkpoint and were stopped by an armed guard. An officer in full combat armor and a man in a dark suit both stepped out of the lead Humvee.

The soldier introduced himself as Colonel Mark Jennings of the Dominion Defense Forces. The man in the suit was a Mr. Colin Atkinson from Dominion Intelligence. They presented their papers and were waved through, only to be shadowed by elements from the Greal military.

"Fucking brilliant," the Colonel yelled as he picked up the radio, "To all units, if we find something, I want those troops kept back. We've got a live feed to the Complex and what happens to us makes no difference so long as the truth comes out."

The armored vehicles were now moving into the more urban part of town and immediately began rolling toward the television station that had originally sent the broadcast. They slowed to a stop and the Bradleys opened their rear ramps, dispelling eight soldiers armed with DSP .40 caliber psitols purposely kept holstered and level five Dragonskin body armor. The other four were technicians wearing the vest portions of the armor and carrying various recording and analysis devices. The remainder stayed with the vehicles and maintained a constant watch on the team until they disappeared inside.

Inside the Stryker was a massive console of monitors with patches to cameras on the helmets as well as readouts from the equipment that would be sent via satellite feed immediately back to the Dominion.

The team immediately made for the broadcasting center searching for the original tape, ignoring the yells from security personnel. They simply flashed ID and continued on.

OOC: Pretty much doing this like UN weapons inspectors with a little more freedom would but I enjoy the luxury of being able to defend my convoy should it come under attack. Pretty much as far as I can go without what happening next being Greal's call.

The president of The American Privateer stood before the cameras, her beautiful face defiant.

"This is a warning to Greal forces. We are currently endorsing this inspection. Should you decide to attack these inspectors, we shall respond. Our forces are within striking range of your nation. We advise you not to attack Ruthless Slaughter."

And with that, she stepped back as the Speaker of the House stepped forward, "It has been voted, to give the President full authority to use appropriate force in response to an assault on these inspection teams."

As the assembled reporters flew into a frenzy, the Secretaries of the various branches assembled in the Pillar.

"Are the Switchblades ready?" The Army Secretary asked his Air Force counter-part.

"That would an affirmative."

"My subs are in range if anything happens," the Admiral responded, leaning back in his chair.

"Well, now only time will tell if we are to respond." the Secretary of war commented.

Official, Encrypted Message to Greal

All right. So it looks like your dirty little secret is out.

As one of the rulers of a prominent, and successful, dictatorship I can tell you this. Where it comes to creating a paramilitary force, any genuine attempts to make your police force secret are not going to work. Everyone can tell when you employ a secret police; neither your people or the international community will appreciate it, and you will likely end up deposed as a leader.

My advice: Rename the 'Red Skull' organisation, preferably something more prosaic and friendly sounding. [For instance, the Murran paramilitary police was formerly known as the Army for the Preservation of the People's Revolution (ADRN in Murran).] Give its members a makeover: switch around their uniforms, shift their headquarters elsewhere, et cetera. We recommend dressing them in black suits with dark glasses, and giving them all identical hairstyles; but you can choose whatever fashion style you like. Then announce their formation as that of a totally new organisation. Describe them as a crime-fighting unit specifically created to deal with those who commit crimes against the state (i.e. treason, sabotage, armed rebellion, sedition -- all of which you can define as broadly as you wish); create legislation that, via loopholes, grants this crime-fighting unit almost too broad and unclear powers.

At this point it might be a good idea to find a useful external enemy as well. Claim those dissidents are aiding and abetting Cazelia or The American Privateer. Then, rather than causing people to disappear in the middle of the night, arrest them in broad daylight or whenever it is convenient. Design the constitution in such a way that those accused of crimes against the state can be convicted on your say-so alone. In addition, make sure there are real events for which these people can be blamed. When you want to arrest a particularly vehement critic, burn down a building in his city and accuse him of causing the fire and thus, being a terrorist; it may take a year or two before you can start arresting people for no obvious cause with equal support from the general populace. Declare that all those who do not support you are unpatriotic and, worse, TAP sympathizers; allow arrests and secret executions to be leaked in order to spread fear among your citizens.

In short, you're in power. You don't have to justify yourself as long as you have the guts and the common sense to stay in power. And if all you have worked for threatens to collapse upon you, collect your worldly wealth and quietly disappear. For retirement spots, we recommend the lovely port of Trieste on the Adriatic Sea, with thermal spas and merchants who don't ask too many questions....

A MESSAGE FROM IMPERATOR GNAEUS MUNDUS I
TO THE AMERICAN PRIVATEER PRESIDENT

Fool. How could you be willing to spill the blood of thousands of innocents to destroy Greal? You are in no danger. Your people are in no danger. Your land is in no danger. Only your ego is in danger. It is not out of love or support of the actions of Greal that we choose to stand with them, it is out of hatred for those who would see all totalitarian or otherwise offensive states crumble. We will not be threatened by threats of retalliation, nor will we be swayed from our current course of action until we are assured that our glorious Empire, and all governments similar to it, are free to punish dissidents in a manor we see fit, as long as it is in service to the Good of the People.

From: President Rebecca St. James

Our people are in danger so long as one foolish as this "President" of Greal is in power. So long as he is willing to indulge in the fantasy that a Fear Society will ever work, other nations will do so as well. And, so long as they do not respect the rights of their own citizens, they will not respect the rights of the rest of the world. While we respect the rights of nations to internal sovereignity, we are morally and politically impaired to act in the case of the slaughter of innocents which is being committed within the borders of Greal. So long as they suspend the Red Skull, we will not act.

However, should the "President" of Greal continue to use the Red Skull, or at the Inspectors from Ruthless Slaughter, we shall reply with force, as it has been shown throughout history to be the only way through which this can be settled.

If you wish to prevent this bloodshed, then act as you can to disband the Red Skull.

275km Off the Coast of Greal
Hours before the Submarine's arrival in range

Paradise Air 409 returning from Leafanistani Wasser passed close to Greal, skimming its coastline and the people inside could make out the clouds from various fleets in the distance. This was a regularly traveled air route that dozens of international and national airlines passed on. It was no surprise a Boeing 707 would be there.

But this wasn't a normal 707. This was a disguised E-8 designed to act as a incognito surveillance craft. While satellites could provide data, their use could give away Leafanistani Intentions. The hump was barely visible thanks to a false shadow painted by clever Air Force personnel.

The aircraft took in data, important data that it was relaying to the Colonel Faria Glaser to help it avoid CAPs and naval patrols from foreign navies. As Paradise Air 409 passed out of the range of its ground search RADAR, the Colonel Faria Glaser descended beneath the ways to complete its mission.

Operation Red Harvest

The Colonel Faria Glaser began the operation. The toxin tanks were filled and the Agent Red was loaded. Their SONAR was tracking a major ocean current that would drag the toxic mix into Greal's waters and deliver a powerful blow.

It neared the current. The torpedo tubes were flooded, the ballistic missile doors cracked open ever so slightly but did not fully open, an the operation began.

It would take 15 minutes for the mixture of highly toxic shellfish poison and plankton poison to disperse. It would be a silent cloud suspended in the water. All the plankton that would touch it would die and become toxic to eat. All the shellfish that came into contact with it would become poisonous to eat but not die. By attacking the bottom of the food chain, the top would either die of hunger or of poison. And soon Grael's fishing nets would just turn up empty or laced with dead/dying fish too toxic to eat.

OOC: Ummm, they are not in Greal waters. I only just RP'ed them leaving the base. The only thing you would ave seen would have been the deployment of those ships and airships to the west of John Paul Jones Naval Base

OOC: Perhaps you didn't read that my men saw "movements" miles away from Greal shores.

OOC: They hadn't reached within striking distance of Greal yet. We had only just moved them. Besides, only subs have moved within range, by this time, and they are staying in the shipping lanes.

OOC: Actuall the mian red Skull headquarters is divided into Area 76, Sasha, and Womer City.

OOC: Ok then, I'll take them out one at a time.

The Helicopters sped towards Area 76, as the Cazelian Marines prepared for an all out war against the Red Skull "Alright!" Barked Sergeant James Kirkness while walking through the CH-53 "These bastards think that they can murder civilians for criticizing the Government. Well they were wrong!" With that, all the Marines in the helicopter cheered, waving their weapons up in the air "Good. Now let's kick some Red Skull ass!"

With that, all the Marines in the helicopter cheered, waving their weapons up in the air "Good. Now let's kick some Red Skull ass!"

"Mr. Secretary!" A voice called out, from a private who had just walked into the room, "Sir, there seems to be a group of helicopters heading deep into Greal Airspace!"

"What!" the six military men where up and running by the time that the young man had finished.

"Oh thank God!" Admiral Ray let out, as he watched the Keyholes show non-TAP'ian choppers inserting themselves.

"Amen, Admiral," the Secretary of the Coast Guard breathed as he watched them move to a military base.

"I want a Lacrosse and a Mentor overhead at all times! We need to hear what they are saying!"

In space, the two satelites moved overhead. The Lacrosse's ground scanning radar focused on the movements, and the responses on both sides. Meanwhile, the Mentor scanned, looking for the signal being used to co-ordinate the Insertion Force.

Please, your people do not deserve the conflict that you will drag them into with this action.

Unlike the surface vessels used by Oily Prata, these where specially designed with hydro-jets, and could make good, silent speed to reach an intercept point before the Oily Prata forces could reach Greal.

Greetings. I am General Thomas Knight, head of the IDMC's Top-Secret Operations Division. Our forces are currently in the process of assaulting one of the three Red Skull Headquarters. We request you hold off on any full scale assault for now and help us covertly destroy the HQs. We would also like to remind the American Privateer Government that it is not the Greal government that has committed these crimes, but the Red Skull organization, which must be disbanded in order to end the atrocities that are being committed.

OOC: TAP, it would help me if you could post or telegram me the specs of your blockading fleet(General things like range,armament, numbers and such). It it also a true hydofoil?

Greal is our ally. Even if the claims are true, we must help their country just as much as they have helped us. We do not defend the government per se, but the people of Greal and the country itself. If you find proof that the 'Red Skulls' are hiding anywhere in out defence area, we will let you pass unhindered. If not, we will prevent you or anyone else from laying claim to Greal.

"Ahh, Shit" Moaned Intel Officer James Manning as he stared at the live feed from the GLOBEal spy sattelite(sp). TAP ships were moving to encircle Greal. They seemed to be unlike normal warships, but he could not make out details.
He grabbed the phone leading to the head of intel, Director Jules Strathmore.

As the signal entered, the head of the RSB copied the message, and forwarded it to an anonymous e-mail box. There, Jake Nova, head of Nova Corp., cackled with glee.

Dispatching his forces, he sent people in by air, sea, and land. All of them where armed with IMI Tavors, and unlike the Cazelians, where silent about their entries. As soon as they where in, they assembled into their teams, and moved to carry out their orders. While the Cazelians moved on Area 76, the Nova Teams converged on Sasha. They moved silently, aided by Spider-Silk shoes. They carried their Tavors at the ready, silencers on. A few loners had black matte Naginatas and Katanas out already, ready for the silent kill.

OOC: They are Seawolf Attack Subs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seawolf_class) with the Cattepillar Drives (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpjet) from Hunt for Red October. As for numbers, there are 20 attack subs, each bearing 50 Tomahawks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BGM-109_Tomahawk) and 40 Torpedoes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_48_torpedo).

Meanwhile, the President got on the phone with the Oily Prata leader.

"I am sorry, but we cannot allow you to come to the assistance of your ally. While we appreciate the work they have done for you, please understand that as of this moment, they are considered a Fear Society. As such, we have a moral, ethical, and legal responsibility to free the citizenry of Greal. We have no interest in conquering that nation, only of freeing them. Please, do not misunderstand our reasons for war. The threat from the Osprey Rods was merely us showing that we have the Higher Gorund, and the bigger stick. We do not wish violence if violence can be avoided. But if we are forced to, then we will strike against the government."

OOC: Slow down and wait for Greal, he has to contend with fleets and now a swarm of poisoned water heading for his precious coastal ecosystem.

OOC: They hadn't reached within striking distance of Greal yet. We had only just moved them. Besides, only subs have moved within range, by this time, and they are staying in the shipping lanes.

OOC: I never said they were in striking distance.

The Helicopters sped towards Area 76, as the Cazelian Marines prepared for an all out war against the Red Skull "Alright!" Barked Sergeant James Kirkness while walking through the CH-53 "These bastards think that they can murder civilians for criticizing the Government. Well they were wrong!" With that, all the Marines in the helicopter cheered, waving their weapons up in the air "Good. Now let's kick some Red Skull ass!"

A Leocardian fort detected a presence of hostile helicopters flying toward Area 76. The Colonel knew it was Cazelian forces heading to destroy Red Skulls' headquarters, but it was Leocardia's pledge to defend Greal from their invading aggressors.

The Leocardian Armored Auxiliary Regiment was mobilized in full combat mode. The regiment, consisting of Type 95 AAA, mobile TY-90/Yitian, HQ-7, and few HQ-2s. The amount of Leocardian soldiers deployed is 2,500.

They are still invading forces.

The convoy rolled up to an armed checkpoint and were stopped by an armed guard. An officer in full combat armor and a man in a dark suit both stepped out of the lead Humvee.

The soldier introduced himself as Colonel Mark Jennings of the Dominion Defense Forces. The man in the suit was a Mr. Colin Atkinson from Dominion Intelligence. They presented their papers and were waved through, only to be shadowed by elements from the Greal military.

"Fucking brilliant," the Colonel yelled as he picked up the radio, "To all units, if we find something, I want those troops kept back. We've got a live feed to the Complex and what happens to us makes no difference so long as the truth comes out."

The armored vehicles were now moving into the more urban part of town and immediately began rolling toward the television station that had originally sent the broadcast. They slowed to a stop and the Bradleys opened their rear ramps, dispelling eight soldiers armed with DSP .40 caliber psitols purposely kept holstered and level five Dragonskin body armor. The other four were technicians wearing the vest portions of the armor and carrying various recording and analysis devices. The remainder stayed with the vehicles and maintained a constant watch on the team until they disappeared inside.

Inside the Stryker was a massive console of monitors with patches to cameras on the helmets as well as readouts from the equipment that would be sent via satellite feed immediately back to the Dominion.

The team immediately made for the broadcasting center searching for the original tape, ignoring the yells from security personnel. They simply flashed ID and continued on.

OOC: Pretty much doing this like UN weapons inspectors with a little more freedom would but I enjoy the luxury of being able to defend my convoy should it come under attack. Pretty much as far as I can go without what happening next being Greal's call.

Greal troops justed waited nearby, they weren't in a mood to even shoot at foreign troops.....

The pro-government reporters and broadcasting workers showed them the tape ,which was in the vault in the basement.

OOC: Ok then, I'll take them out one at a time.

275km Off the Coast of Greal
Hours before the Submarine's arrival in range

Paradise Air 409 returning from Leafanistani Wasser passed close to Greal, skimming its coastline and the people inside could make out the clouds from various fleets in the distance. This was a regularly traveled air route that dozens of international and national airlines passed on. It was no surprise a Boeing 707 would be there.

But this wasn't a normal 707. This was a disguised E-8 designed to act as a incognito surveillance craft. While satellites could provide data, their use could give away Leafanistani Intentions. The hump was barely visible thanks to a false shadow painted by clever Air Force personnel.

The aircraft took in data, important data that it was relaying to the Colonel Faria Glaser to help it avoid CAPs and naval patrols from foreign navies. As Paradise Air 409 passed out of the range of its ground search RADAR, the Colonel Faria Glaser descended beneath the ways to complete its mission.

Operation Red Harvest

The Colonel Faria Glaser began the operation. The toxin tanks were filled and the Agent Red was loaded. Their SONAR was tracking a major ocean current that would drag the toxic mix into Greal's waters and deliver a powerful blow.

It neared the current. The torpedo tubes were flooded, the ballistic missile doors cracked open ever so slightly but did not fully open, an the operation began.

It would take 15 minutes for the mixture of highly toxic shellfish poison and plankton poison to disperse. It would be a silent cloud suspended in the water. All the plankton that would touch it would die and become toxic to eat. All the shellfish that came into contact with it would become poisonous to eat but not die. By attacking the bottom of the food chain, the top would either die of hunger or of poison. And soon Grael's fishing nets would just turn up empty or laced with dead/dying fish too toxic to eat.

Greal Sea, miles from Aust city port

John Macklin and his crew were in a fishing trawler. John had been a fisherman all his life, he had been fishing since he was a kid, now 40 years after he started fishing, he was a captain of the fishing boat.

"Sir, you better see this."said one of the crew.

John walked unto the deck and saw the nets were empty. every single net was empty.

"All the fish left?"asked John

"I'm not so sure sir..."said another of the crew looking at Greal destroyers fanning out.

OOC: Its kind of confusing with ships coming to invade, can someone make a Greal invasion thread?

Greal Military Headquarters, Sasha

General Heart came into the situation room. He was very mad that they ahd to fight a war for the Red Skull, he didn't like the Red Skull one bit.

"Status?"asked General Heart looking at a big screen that showed Greal.

"Our satellites have picked up enemy subs coming to blockade Greal."said Admiral Peterson

General Heart was annoyed, now this is the navy's problem, not the army's problem.

"So, whats the navy's plan?"asked general Heart

"Our Dragon destroyers will make quick work of them they are among the best in the world, and we have lots of them."said the Admiral happily.

"How many are you sending?"asked General Heart

"A couple hundred should be able to wipe them out."said the Admiral,"What about the air force and the army?"

"The Air force is getting ready, all the coast guns in the east will probably blast the first enemy in sight."

OOC: TAP, I would like to point out that my fleet is still two days away from Greal, so your deployed subs will have to sit and wait for me to mosey on in

President St. James was furious. As she fumed, she sen a further communique to the people of Oily Prata, this one by TV News Conference.

"Oily Prata. Do not drag your people into this mess. We are not an Imperialisitic nation with eyes for Greal. We are a nation of Liberators, seeking to place a Free Society in place of the Fear Society that exists there now. Do not mis-construe our actions, but rather back off and leave the war between those who will Liberate the people of Greal, and those who would oppress them."

The team accepted the tape and ran it through the machines. It was fiarly obvious the tape was falsified.

One of the employee's gave a smug grin, but back in the Stryker Atkinson wasn't buying it.

"If you look here," he pointed at a part of the screen, "and here, there are major discrepancies between the original broadcast and the tape you just showed me. They've already been here and switched them out. The quality of the tape wouldn't decrease when transferred from a satellite feed to a dircet video player. We won't find any leads here, recall the team."

Disgustedly, the team gave the tape back to the staff and went back to the Bradleys. In the Stryker, Colonel Jennings was furious.

"DAMMIT!," he yelled as he threw his beret on the ground, "We need another lead, another location! The search can't end here!"

They radioed back to the Dominion that the TV station had been a bust, and Intelligence notified them that satellite surveillance had revealed a concentrated military presence of multiple foreign powers at an installation known as Area 76. It was officially designated a simple military base, nothing out of the ordinary. Then why so many soldiers converging on that location?

The Colonel got on the radio and said to the rest of the team before jogging back to his Humvee, "All units, we've prgrammed new coordinates in your GPS's. Our nexxt stop is a military base known only as Area 76. There appears to be hostile actions going on over there so don't leave the vehicles once we arrive."

The convoy saddled up and sped off toward its second stop. Both the Colonel and Agent Atkinson were hopeful: back when the Dominion was under a totalitarian regime military bases were where all the juicy stuff was kept. They were banking on the same being true here in Greal.

But that russian sub is still made of metal, thus, SONAR, which is a ping from a ship that reflects off a solid surface and back to the reciever of the originating ship, should still be able to see Red October.

OOC: True, but if I am not moving, then SONAR is not a good, as it returns a rough image of what is down there.

Also, Greal, how fast are your ships moving?

OOC: At maximum, Dragon destroyers can move about 44 knots a hour.....

OOC: There's no really effective methods for evading ACTIVE SONAR. That is what we all know as a SONAR 'ping'. However most vessels hunt using PASSIVE SONAR, which is merely a series of high-grade hydrophones. The reason is that ACTIVE arrays are very, very loud (if you're banging away with active SONAR, then everyone knows you're coming), can be used against the 'pinger' as much as for them (listen for their own SONAR echo and develop a shooting solution from the enemy's own ping), and they suck up a lot of power.

Oh, and ACTIVE SONAR also attracts cooky-cutter sharks (they don't know why) that proceed to damage the SONAR gear beyond repair (they're not sure how they do this either), and there are reports that SONAR pings have killed marine mammals, due to shear noise over-pressure, blowing out their sensitive hearing, causing all sorts of things to go wrong in a cascade, end result, dead whales.

I'll be coming in soon, but for the moment I just had to share my technological knowledge.

OOC: At maximum, Dragon destroyers can move about 44 knots a hour.....

OOC:well before you leave lets RP

IC:our helocopters reach the shore of Greal they begin dropping soldiers and bombs.

OOC: How many men are invading? Did you even get past our destroyers? Please role play better...

OOC: rules

1) READ THE DAMN STICKES
2) Use some kind of spellchecker
3) Use proper capitalization and grammar and make sure you check behind your spell checker (my IC post was slurred because it was from the view point of an old, gruff general, but for important stuff like government announcements, use the proper.)
4) Start with a diplomat thread such as embassies or an open factbook, do NOT start with war
5) Do NOT use smilies in IC posts, and use them sparingly in OOC posts
6) Glance back over the stickes to catch what you might not have understood
7) Play carefully

I copied far echos speech.

Good points all. I vote we just ignore him, and let him watch us play.

Oh, and Myakoo, don't just cry out, "I inv4v0rz j00!" I have the ability to literally bomb you back to the stoneage.

meanwhile...

FYI Greal, I am going to allow it this time since it is not broadly known (And yes, I will do this for all nations), but your ships slowed down for reasons that were not common knowledge to you IC before I posted it. Next time, you should RP some one shouting orders into a phone or something when you order your vehicles slowed.

Its okay. I made the same mistakes myself. It is common for a knee-jerk reaction. Just helping you RP better. I was doing a space RP and wound up relocating an entire fleet without engaging my FTL drives because I had invaded the wrong system. Now THAT was funny.

Ohhhhh, the memories....

Greal waters

The Greal destroyers waited in Greal waters, they had seen the subs, but they were in international waters.....

A sub surfaced, it mast blinking lights in morse code

We advise you too move back, as we will do the same. Wars have started by ships in close proximity. We only seek to prevent military vessels from all sides. Cargo ships will not be harmed.

Meanwhile, the rest of the subs moved farther into international water, and away from the Greal Fleet. each captain knew that he would be skinned alive if he where to be in command of the ship that started a war without a vote of Congress.

OOC: Personal initiative can only go so far before it gets an officer in trouble.

Also, I saw your thing about Sasha on NSCityRatings, and F.Y.I. I posted the stuff about my own capital there. More will come via link from my Wiki page, but for know, it gives a good idea about the city. And yes, it is all public information within the realm of NS.

We only wish to guard our waters, we will not attack you as long as your submarines do not attack us.

Declaring war on our ally is a threat to both Leocardia's national security and Greal's national security. Leocardia will not tolerate with such a remark from a punitive nation like yours. Because we have forgiven many countries on making such insults and threats, we will allow your puny nation to withdraw your threats and actions.

Well, a quote from Swordfish should clear them up

Anyone who impinges on America's freedom. Terrorist states, Stanley. Someone must bring their war to them. They bomb a church, we bomb 10. They hijack a plane, we take out an airport. They execute American tourist, we tactically nuke an entire city. Our job is to make terrorism so horrific that is becomes unthinkable to attack Americans.

IC:
Bull Hornian fighters screamed as they soared over Greal. Ships were arriving by the dozens bringing troops to ports. The soldiers orders were to protect Greal from invasion. They took up positions on the beach and dug sophisticated trenches for defense, covered them with brush, laid communication lines, and set up artillery. A temporary airfield and base were set up in a nearby town. The troops were ready.

OOC: Greal what does your map look like??

OOC: Whoaw, whoaw, whoaw! Where did you come from? Di you mis the part about me setting up a blockade? Do I need to call out all 26,000 Hyperions and have them hovering over the ocean's before someone takes this thing seriously?

IC:
"Madam President, we have a situation..."

The President was in The Pillar with the rest of the Military, when the voice called attention to the incoming ships.

The president's response was eloquent, heartfelt, and entirely un-printable.

She ordered the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th fleets out to join the 6th, 30 Wolfpacks of Seawolf Class Attack subs, and then ordered the 1st-9th Submarine Carrier groups to deploy to assist them.

All together, 24 Megatooth Carriers, 72 Xero Class Guided Missile Cruisers, 264 Lancer Class Destroyers, 288 FREMM Class Frigates, 6 Blue Ridge Command ships, 18 Visby Class Corvettes, 4 Poseidon class Submarines, and 147 Seawolf Class Attack Subs left port for the International Waters outside of Greal's EEZ.

Greal people began to leave cities in large numbers for safety out in the country side, cars jammed highways as they left cities in gigantic numbers. Cars trucks and buses were seen leaving Sasha, Womer City, Aust City, Fenk City, and other big cities.

OOC: OK so I guess that I will fly in troops.
IC: Transport planes filled the skies, filled with troops and supplies. Men ran to the beach and dug in. Artillery was positioned about 500 ft apart in trenches. Pallets of supplies were airdropped on the beaches. Ammunition, food, and guns was dropped. Snipers took positions off the beach in temporary buildings. Mines filled the beach, in 1 ft by 1 ft squares. Razor wire was set up to slow the enemy, roads were built. About 19,000 men were positioned on the beach. 30,000 more men were in reserve. They were ready.

Admiral Ray had left with the fleet, despite direct orders not to, and was aboard one of the Hyperions when it arrived. Fast-ropings down to the Blue Ridge in charge of the operations, he began to plan out how to take the country.


Secret IC (As in deep within a locked room in the CIC of a Blue Ridge wit no comm gear to the outside world, only runners.):
"Beach Defenses, how quaint."

And with that, he began to plan how to commence the attack. He ordered troopships to arrive, escorted by the rest of the Hyperions in the Air Fleet, and fill the Hyperions with Airborne Infantry forces and their Switchblades (http://www.kineticaerospace.com/images/bondphasst1.bmp).

They're orders where to drop in behind the beach defences, and wreak havoc on the supply lines, while the Fighters and Attack planes, assisted by the massive Hyperion Gunships would do as much damage to enemy forces as they could.

Specifically, Admiral Ray ordered that every Hyperion was to be armed with CBU-97 Sensor Fuzed Warheads (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THZvZ6S4C14), in addition to the massive array of ordanance (http://phoenixdynamix.proboards38.com/index.cgi?board=Aircraft&action=display&thread=1148863844) already carried on board.

Some were also ordered to carry M (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aBfOOo-n5k)O (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7tG7keSe-0)AB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-43_Massive_Ordnance_Air_Blast_bomb)'s, with the full knowledge that they would be used purely for area clearance of mines and razor wire.

Leocardia saw their allied defenses in the beaches, and knew they were clearly not thinking straight before planning their forces in the positions. Stragetically, all spots are covered poorly, and occupied by the allied forces, which makes Colonel Johnson angry at such a stupid defense. "What the fuck are they doing?" He shouts while having a map of Greal's coast and marked positions of TAP fleets. "North end, and West are taken spots by them, and even the center post. How are they going to expect to take control over the beach?" His last decision was simply wait for the enemy to smash through the defense and confront them in their advancing phase.

Admiral Ray laughed as the enemy sent up Helos for a CAP. He knew that the Hyperions where able to shoot them out of the sky with ease. (OOC: Airborne Lasers ROCK!). Though he laughed, he knew this could cause a problem. As such, he ordered all ships to target not only enemy vessels, but to use their RIM-66 Standard SAM's to target the enemy aircraft. In the Tomahawk Cruise Missile Tubes, warheads where changed out, so that instead of a single HEAP, they where loaded out with SFW's.

OOC: whatever happened to not attacking until Greal and I finished talks? :confused:

I am going to wait. However, there is increasing tension, and we are RP'ing that. My fleet will sail out of there as soon as the talks are over if there is a favorable outcome. I am just prepparing for the possibility of war.

OOC: Lasers? You know this is MT, right? I don't think we have the technology to even use lasers from planes to shoot and eliminate targets while airborne. There is, for a fact, laser missile defense systems, but even that is still under FAR experimental efforts by the US military.

So yes, these are MT. The only reason the US does not have these systems mass produced is because of the amount of money spent by the government on defense. Because we spend so much more than the US, we have achieved them sooner.

Kubra is appalled you would let your secret police be revealed like tha- I mean have a secret police in the 1st place. We have half a mind to send soldiers to your country to throw bullets at your soldiers and hope they choke on them.

No matter how much funding you put, it isn't MT.

ATL is still under experiment, so therefore, it can't be MT in our world.
THEL is modern tech, but the fact how they use it isn't all that quite accurate. If the US had such a technology, why aren't they deploying them out? Or why isn't Israel using them? The answer is because despite the usage and tests by this weapon, it is still under experiment.

I would only be using the Airborne, because the information that have it on Wikipedia is enough to prove that they have been around, and tested, until a final model has been produced.

From Wikipedia

In 2000 and 2001 THEL shot down 28 Katyusha artillery rockets and 5 artillery shells. On November 4, 2002, THEL shot down an incoming artillery shell. A mobile version has completed successful testing. During a test conducted on Aug. 24, 2004 the system successfully shot down multiple mortar rounds. The test represented actual mortar threat scenarios. Targets were intercepted by the THEL testbed and destroyed; both single mortar rounds and salvo were tested.

Even though military experts such as the former head of the Administration for the Development of Weapons and the Technological Industry, Aluf Yitzhak Ben Yisrael, were calling for the implementation of the THEL, the project was discontinued. During the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, Ben Yisrael, currently the chairman of the Israeli Space Agency, renewed his calls to implement the THEL against high-trajectory fire.

The THEL is a fixed system, and has not even been placed on ships yet, though we are testing a new ship bed for it. As for ATL, I already dissed it, seeing as it has not yet been used in game. And as for why the THEL has not been deployed yet, once again, it comes down to costs. The system is expensive and potentially dangerous for users. It would take the kind of funds that I have to develop the THEL beyond experimentation.

The Belkan Aeronavis 083rd Division floated into Greal airspace. Each of the advanced zeppelin airships carried 500 infantrymen, 250 centurions and 10 armored vehicles. They were escorted by SU-97B air superiority fighters, and were heavily cloaked with radar and sensor jamming. The ships toched down, and their cargo disembarked, securing a landing zone for the coming forces. A static defense team landed in a custom Aeronavis and began assembling a base from prefabricated materials. If war was to break out in Greal, Belkaros would be ready to defend the country.

A Greal patrol of soldiers met them while they were building a base.

Genralis Victor Hirmonosk, escorted by two masked Centurions, went to meet the Greal soldiers.
"We are making ourselves at home here, I hope you don't mind", he said to the highest ranking man. "Our link to Imperial Command will be operational within the hour, so perhaps we could arrange a meeting between our Emperor and a representative from Greal to best decide how to defend your land, and perhaps difuse this situation before it escalates."
