The gunboat cut quietly and cleanly through the murky waters of the Salio river, the five onboard clad in black and armed with AK-74Us. The boat slowed down and the men stepped off, carrying a suitcase, chained to the hand of the leader of the group. Suddenly, gunfire swept through the trees. The men took cover, leaping behind trees, firing off in random directions. The man carrying the suitcase was downed instantly, and the rumble of a tank caused the men to scatter. The group fought valiantly, fighting to the death, all over the suitcase. Finally, when the last man fell, the insurgents revealed themselves. One stepped out, bearing and ax, and with one powerful swing, got both the suitcase and the hand it was attached to. The group then left, heading back to their base.

"So, you have got the plans?" The voice said, ridden with static over the huge screen. It showed a man with greying hair in his late 50's, dressed in a plain brown coat with red pauldrons.
"Yes. It was easy, only a five man convoy." The man who said this wore a black trencoat and fatigues under it, the only bit of color a crimson beret on his head.
The figure on the screen smiled. "Excellent. Spread the word, tomorrow we start the revolution."

---The next day---
The normally peaceful streets of Karas rang with screams, explosions and gunfire.
"HQ, there are hostiles in the central square! The emperoress has been airlifted out, what are our orders, I repeat, what are our orders?"
"Destroy the attackers. Give no quater."
"Sir, we've taken heavy casualities, cannot hold out much- Fuck! Thunderbolts, get down!" The message was cut short as the rebel A-10 dropped its cargo, a FAEB (Fuel Air Explosive Bomb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon)) onto the street, wiping out half of the royal guard. After that, the rest of the units in the city fell back.
The capital was lost.

The man in the brown jacket stood in front of the royal palace, microphone stand in front of him. All this was being recorded, and would be sent out to all news stations.
"Nations of the world! We, the Peoples Armed Revolutionary Army, have taken control from the oppressive, totalitarian, corrupt royal family and replaced it with a good and noble Socialist ideal! The common people of Void Templar will no longer sit back and be trod upon by the gloating rich, the evil capitalist demons who have plagued our nation for so long are gone! The people shall rule the people once more!" A cheer went up from the crowd.

At the same time, a message was sent out from the loyalists.
"I, the rightful Emperoress Elizabeth Blackstone of Void Templar, humbly beg all nations to lend their aid, to throw out these unlawful rebels who kill and maim innocents." A clip of the air attack was included here. "Please, aid us in our attempts to restore lawful order to our country."

You can side with the rebels or the loyalists.

Theoroshia is interested in helping the new socialist regime by providing arms and materiels to them. Negotiations can begin as soon as the PARA is willing.

General Davids extends his most humble thanks for the most generous offer, and asks that negotiations begin as soon as possible.

The news of the revolution has spread around the globe, and Terrebeau has heard of the plight of the royal family. The Grand Empire of Terrebeau is interested in aiding all those loyal to the royal family of Void Templar.

OOC: Sorry for the overkill post. Lets just say I got bored and had nothing better to do, but type... This will count as both a tag and my introduction into the rp. Also, this is the MT/PMT version of FT Mu Cephei. So all Mu Cepheians are still dogs standing on their hind legs.

IC:
In the City of KW Sagitarii a building lays to rest. The building appeared to be like the many others in the large modern city. Windows littered all over the surface and a large, golden sign above the front doors named the building The International Bank of Mu Cephei. It seemed like a bank in many ways. People wearing suits entered and left the building constantly, there were a lot of papers about countries could be found in the 'bank', there was a lot of big computers as well as severs, and there were was also a lot of stuff that seemed to come straight out from a movie. The only difference between this 'bank' and the others was the lack of costumers coming in and the number of armed guards on duty at any one time. This was simply explained by most as paranoia of a robbery and that everyone simply used a computer at home to handle their money.

The only problem was that The International Bank of Mu Cephei was not in fact a bank. In fact it is the headquarters of the Mu Cephei COMCENINTEL (Command, Central Intelligence) Agency, the leading intelligence gather on the block. It gathered most of Mu Cephei's intel on other countries, but unlike other intelligence agencies in Mu Cephei that just gathered intel and gave it to others to make sense of it. COMCENINTEL did both. It had two sub-departments, one to get the intel and another to analyze it for the viewing pleasure of policy-makers.

While all of this sounds awesome it is in fact, boring as searching for a needle in the Pacific Ocean. The world of NS was so large and there are so many countries on the planet that it was simply impossible to gather all the intel on the world. Sometimes you got lucky, but usually the people of COMCENINTEL had to focus on the countries in Mu Cephei's region. Unfortunately for the 'spooks' of Mu Cephei the only real threat to Mu Cephei is currently in civil war and had no way to harm Mu Cephei what so ever. So, the good folks at The Bank did what they usually did on boring days like today.

"Bull fucking shit!" A man in his early thirties yelled, his dark blue suit crumbling as the man jumped from his chair pointing at the upside down card on the table atop a pile of similar upside down cards. A women in her late twenties smiled and flipped the card.

"Ah shit!" the card turned out to be a four of spades, the card that it was suppose to be. Everyone in the room laughed and some even clapped their hands.

"You cheated!" the man cried out, the women kept smiling.

She spoke, "don't cry over a simple game of bull shit. Just be happy that after you buy everyone in this room a beer that you'll become the most popular person in the bank." She laughed.

"Damn," the man sat down, "and I'm not crying over the stupid game... I'm crying 'cause my bank account is going to take a large blow today." The cards were put away and everyone went back to their office as the clock hit twelve. Telling everyone that the lunch break was over. The women from the game, however, walked over to the man's office. She put her arm on the cubicle's wall. It was only a little more then half her height so she had to lean forward to do so.

"Babieca, are you really upset over the game?" the woman asked, a hint of emotion in her voice. Babieca swirled on his chair, facing away from his computer.

"Yes," he faked a sniff, "now I have no money to pay the bills." He put up his hands and wiped his eyes even though there were no tears to wipe away.

"How am I going to meet end's dues? I'm going to get thrown out of my apartment! I'm going to have to live on the streets! What am I to d-" a light bang on the head from the women's fist stopped Babieca's act.

"Why the hell did I marry you... Again?" Babieca smiled.

"I don't know Concordia. Is it because of my iron testicles?" Concordia smacked Babieca across the face, once again lightly with a bit more force then the last.

"Ow, that hurt," Babieca rubbed the side of his face and smiled. His computer made several noises, "sorry. Gotta take this!" Babieca swirled around on his chair to face his computer. He clicked on his mouse a few times and typed in a few commands when a video feed popped up.

The man in the brown jacket stood in front of the royal palace, microphone stand in front of him. All this was being recorded, and would be sent out to all news stations.

The people shall rule the people once more!" A cheer went up from the crowd.

"Whoa, nice jacket. Wonder where I can get one?" Babieca said.

Concordia ignored Babieca and asked, "hey, isn't Void Templar a few weeks sail from one of Mu Cephei's territories?" Babieca turned back to Concordia.

"I don't know, I thought it was a part of our deal of us getting remarried that you would do all of the thinking?" Said Babieca.

"Maybe the guys up the food chain wanna know about this?" Concordia suggested.

"Then we should also send this as well," Babieca turned to his computer, clicked on a file on his desktop and a video played.


"I, the rightful Emperoress Elizabeth Blackstone of Void Templar, humbly beg all nations to lend their aid, to throw out these unlawful rebels who kill and maim innocents." A clip of the air attack was included here. "Please, aid us in our attempts to restore lawful order to our country."

"Why didn't you show me this before?" Babieca turned around again.

"I don't know... You didn't ask," Concordia sighed.

"Your a dumb ass. You know that, right?" Babieca frowned.

"Wasn't it also in the marriage agreement that you would stop verbally abusing me?"

"Lets just turn in our findings..." Concordia picked up a phone on Babieca's desk and dialed a number bringing her to a phone of one of the higher ups.

"Yeah, good idea... Wait, our findings?"
