Official Communique

http://www.forsakenoutlaw.com/Graphics/Nation-States/General/seal.png

Priority: High
Recipient: Global Communique
Origin: Empire of Layarteb - Ministry of Defense
Classification Level: Confidential
Subject: Fleet Week 2008 Registration


The Empire cordially invites you and your respective navies, diplomatic parties, heads of state, royalty, et cetera to partake in this years Fleet Week festivities at Layarteb City. This year, Fleet Week is scheduled to run from May 12 through May 18, a schedule is attached for your convenience. If you wish to register, please notify us immediately, reservations are limited and it is a first come, first serve situation. Pier spots remain open and we invite you to display your naval creations to the world at this international event.

The first Fleet Week at Layarteb City was in 1987 and this, the twenty-first annual event promises to be the best ever. In the past, Fleet Week has drawn crowds of in excess of five million non-Layartebian nationals. Our attendance record has surpassed eighty-five million for a single Fleet Week, which was in 2006. We hope to break that record this year and we have prepared for over one hundred million. Some of the highlights over the past years has been the debut of the Heretic guided missile frigate, Enterprise aircraft carrier, F-14E Super Tomcat upgrade, and the Emperor's announcement of realization of the Empire and an end to the Conquests in 2006.

This year, the Imperial Layartebian Navy shall debut the Overburdened class battleship to the world. Although there are four vessels currently in service with the ILN, this will be their first, official, public unveiling to the world and will include a small demonstration of their capabilities, via video feed from off the coast of Long Island against several target ships. The Overburdened, one of the largest and most powerful warships in the Imperial Layartebian Navy has spent over a decade in development but, its commissioning continues the tradition of the Imperial Layartebian Navy, which regards no class of warship to be outdated, despite historical events. There also promises to be several naval and aerial debuts by foreign countries.

This year's Fleet Week will include various demonstrations from military squads from around the world, the usual air show, an impressive space exploration exhibit with real moon rocks on display, IMAX presentations, fireworks, and parties. Please see the attached schedule for the full synopsis of what will be happening.

The registration deadline is May 9 and please submit the attached registration form via an encrypted, secured source. We accept facsimiles, electronic mail, or diplomatic envelopes. We emphasize the deadline and request that you submit your registration forms as early as possible.

Sincerely,
The Minister of Defense

Rules & Regulations

Please read these rules and regulations to Fleet Week. These rules and regulations must be followed at all times and cannot, under any circumstance, be bent or avoided. Failure to adhere to them will result in immediate ejection of your party from the Fleet Week events without refund. If there is an issue with these rules and regulations, please advise the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before you arrive and accommodations may be made. The Empire reserves the right to deny any accommodations and entry as it sees fit. These nine rules are not the only ones in effect and the Empire reserves the right to change these at any time without prior notification.

1. The Empire stresses law, order, and security above all else. Any foreign dignitary who violates the laws of the Empire can and will be subjected to expulsion, prosecution, or penalty, depending on the severity of the incident. The Empire reserves the right to detain, try, and sentence all foreign dignitaries and nationals should they violate the law of the Empire.

2. All naval vessels that arrive in Layarteb City Harbor cannot use their offensive weapon systems, due to health hazards. All weaponry must be stowed and all weapon systems must be on "SAFE" setting. Failure to adhere to these guidelines will result in immediate ejection. The Empire reserves the right to inspect all vessels in accordance with this guideline.

3. All aircraft that arrive cannot be equipped with weapons of any nature. Aircraft guns may be fitted but ammunition cannot be present in magazines. The Empire reserves the right to inspect all aircraft in accordance with this guideline.

4. Should it become necessary for an emergency evacuation of foreign nationals or dignitaries to take place, the Empire will not, under any circumstance, impede this evacuation. However, notification must be given to air traffic control staff, harbor masters, and/or police personnel to ensure a safe, timely, and unchaotic evacuation, as well as to not induce panic.

5. Acts of terrorism will be considered acts of war against the Empire and will result in immediate and overbearing retaliation.

6. Payment is to be made, in full, prior to May 11 or else all reservations will be forfeited.

7. All currency must be exchanged to Layartebian shingrots. The current exchange rate is §1.00 = $1.95; $1.00 = §0.51 and will remain as such throughout the entirety of this event. Price wages are fixed to avoid gauging.

8. The Empire reserves the right, at any time, to eject any personnel, regardless of diplomatic status or nationality, for any reason whatsoever. The Empire does not require that this reason be explained to the ejected parties.

9. Any accrued expenses must be paid prior to the egress of your party. Any expenses not paid will be applied to your respective treasury at an interest rate of 20% APR.

Page 4 of 8

In case you're wondering, pages 5 through 8 are more diplomatic things, including contact information, waiver of liability, et cetera. All that sort of stuff that I'm just not going to type down. So let's get down to it, what does all of this mean?

Well, you've been invited to attend the 21st Fleet Week at Layarteb City. It will be held May 12 through May 18 and it will be an international event with parties, fireworks, et cetera. I've done three of these already, this being the fourth, and they've been big hits. However, none of the RPs have ever been actually completed. Why don't you help me out and make this one complete. Now, when I say what days it will be held, that isn't a static date range. The RP will begin on May 12, at which time this thread will no longer just be for sign-ups. However, as this is an RP, it may take a month to end or what not, who knows, it depends on how long it takes.

I encourage you to take part in this RP and, in doing so, here are some ideas and requests. First and foremost, please provide pictures for all ships or aircraft you present, to spice up the RP. Please provide, if you have them, pictures of just about anything else. I love pictures in RPs. Secondly, please don't spam this thread and also keep it to some sort of decorum. I will ask the MODS to delete posts if I have to, especially for n00bishness. Thirdly, please ask me if you're going to do something like "attack" someone or what not. I'd like to keep that out of the RP but, if you really want to do it, we'll discuss whether or not we're going to let it happen. This may be godmodding a little but it's a liberty I intend to use to make everyone happy.

Everyone is welcome, whether I like you or not. If you want, you can even RP as just average citizens of your own countries walking around, looking at displays or what not. Again, please use pictures in your posts, it really spices up the RP.

With that said, please post if you are going to attend and use the form on page 3 [above]. The limits I have to place on entry to the harbor is 57.41 feet (17.50 meters) in draught and/or 200,000 long tons (203,209 metric tonnes) in displacement. So please don't be surprised if you are above this and I say "No." It's nothing against you, it's just that it won't fit. We've already dredged the harbor to allow bigger craft than in real-life but even that has limitations. As it is, my Overburdened class battleship barely fits [tonnage wise].

As a side note, since I don't have to keep posting it, here are the classification levels & descriptions for all diplomatic communiques.

Classification Levels

Standard: Standard classification is the normal level of encryption. It is equivalent to the standard levels of encryption seen on most secure e-mail clients.

Confidential: Confidential classification is a higher level of encryption than "Standard" but it is not heavily encrypted. It is used mostly for flash traffic to foreign countries and requires some additional decoding time. It uses 512-bit RSA encryption methods and has several key ciphers that change unpredictably.

Secure: Secure communiques use 1024-bit RSA encryption and several key ciphers within them that change unpredictably to ensure that message traffic is not hacked or decoded. Access to said messages would require heavy cracking software and significant resources but it is not "uncrackable." It can be a viable level through 2010.

Encrypted: Encrypted classification is the second highest level of classification. It is uses 2048-bit RSA encryption and multiple key ciphers within it to ensure that cracking it would take such a significant amount of time to accomplish that, should it be done, the message's usefulness would have already expired. Though anything is crackable, because of the methods employed, this level is often considered "uncrackable" by current capabilities. To ensure revolving protecting, ciphers and encryption algorithms will change unpredictably. This level is sufficient until 2030.

Maximum: Maximum classification is the highest level of classification available. It uses 3072-bit RSA encryption and multiple key ciphers that change unpredictably. It can provide protection past 2030.

Experimental: Currently not a fully recognized level, experimental denotes a category using 15360-bit RSA encryption and multiple key ciphers that change unpredictably. It is not in full operational use as of yet.

We would like to apologize for Sir Montelimar's language, grammar and lack of scientific knowledge (although, quite frankly, we don't know how nuclear turbines work either. In a survey of the Foreign Authority, an overwhelming majority listed "fairies" as the fuel source but we do not believe this is correct).

As the head of State of the Confederacy of Third Spanish States, after discussing the matter with some of my partners in the MilNet, we have reached a consensus into participating of this naval and air show event in the Empire of Layarteb. The form is right below. I have a question however: would it be permitted for low pass flight maneuvers to be conducted by highly trained pilots? This is relevant to determine which squadron shall be invited to attend the event, as some are more willing to take risks for the thrill of it, and to fly beneath radar coverage in an hypothetical operation, than others. Also, regarding payment, for a stroke of coincidence it seems both our currencies share virtually the same worth in international trade, as a mutualist credit is equivalent to $1.95. As a fully digital currency, we would like to ask whether it could be allowed direct payment through electronic transfer or not.

[i]Annex 2: Military career of Cecily Lockhelm and Julio Mills Santiago

*It mentions, with evidences, that Julio Mills is still on active duty as the leader of an entire Regiment, while Cecily has a young but fruitful career, and retired from the military to dedicate to politics just 2 years ago. Perhaps it's only a pretext for them to claim they don't need security*


(Quick OOC: Those ship pictures aren't really how these ships really look, but the closest RL ones to them. I don't have any desire of trying to make linearts of them for now. And as an OOC reference on "low pass flight": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia2OE2Amvj0. Yes, that's more or less what they want to do, but they won't mention it obviously ;))

Official Communiqué


Dear sir,

The Realm of Cotland will as always attend the Fleet Week celebrations in Layarteb City, and wish to send a rather substantial contribution this year. Given the recent downscaling of the Royal Cottish Navy since the break away of our former provinces in Siberia, India and the Caribbean, we feel that this is the perfect time to display to the world that the Realm is still a force to be reconned with, and our contribution will display this. Therefore, we wish to send the following:

163. Maritime Strike Squadron (Royal Cottish Naval Aviation) (12) Blackadder MSE.2 supersonic maritime strike bombers
Triumph class aircraft carrier HMS Kong Olav V (with accompanying airwing - (40) FA 16A Priest fighters, (24) RAC-201 Sea Shrike strike bombers, (4) Trofast AEW, (2) Trofast COD, (4) Trofast tankers, (10) Merlin helicopters)
Type 38C class destroyers HMS Kostroma, HMS Belgia, HMS Svalbard
Type 61 'Tigerhai' class submarine HMS Makohai
His Majesty the King's Guard's Public Display Company (40 man drill team + 36 man band)

If permitted, the 163. Maritime Strike Squadron and elements of Kong Olav V's airwing (the Priest fighters) will carry out a seperate aerial presentation, perhaps with a live fire display from the Blackadder bombers against phased-out ships of the ILN/ILDF?

As far as guests apart from the ship crews and aircraft crews go, we wish to send a delegation from the Realm of a total of 40 personnel, including 10 security personnel from Politiets Sikkerhetstjeneste. The security personnel will naturally liase with the Layartebian security personnel on site, and will be lightly armed with standard issue pistols. The delegation will be lead by the Minister for Defense, John Alvheim. Additionally, you can expect a number of Cottish citizens attending this year's Fleet Week, thanks in no small part to the rather intense advertisement campaign Layartebian businesses has been running in Cotland for the past months.

As for special requirements, we have only the request for the independent aerial display, and if our request for live fire display is approved, permission to bring along a total of twenty-four (24) LBM.63B Akkar (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=2595&hl=) anti-shipping missiles.


Sincerely,

The Royal Ministry for the Defense of the Realm

Your registration has been received and approved. Allocations for naval space has been granted and the Empire would like to add a special request to the Royal Cottish Navy. Would the Cottish navy be willing to host the afternoon luncheon on May 16, 2008. Invited guests will be from all October Alliance nations and include the heads of state and diplomatic envoys. We feel that it is only right that a nation other than the Empire host this auspicious luncheon, as has been done in the past. Please let us know of your willingness to participate in this event. Your request for an aerial demonstration has been granted as well but will take place along with the Overburdened demonstration. First, the Overburdened shall demonstrate its capabilities against several decommissioned naval vessels in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 20 nautical miles off the coast of Long Island. Following its demonstration, there will be four remaining vessels, which the Royal Cottish Navy may destroy with their bombers. If this is acceptable, then you may land your aircraft with weaponry.

In addition, due to your presence in the October Alliance, you will not be required to pay for this event. All charges shall be covered by the Empire.

Sincerely,
The Minister of Foreign Affairs

Stormbringer-class Aerodropcraft
Dimensions: 450mx90mx98m
Empty Mass: 1300 tonnes
Crew Size: 26 men
Aeromarine Contingent: 76 men
Static Viewing: (N)
Open to the Public: (Y)
Participating in Airshow: (Y)
Notes: An Aerodropcraft is an airship designed to deploy mass amounts of equipment or troops to a battlefield, as well as being able to attack other airships by boarding them. The aerodropcraft will have all weapons onboard armed with only dummy ammunition.

Marlin Support Ekranoplan
Dimensions: 82mx90mx12m
Empty Mass: 205 tonnes

Notes: The 4 support ekranoplans provide mobile refuelling, rearming, unloading and mooring facilities to up to 2 airships at a time, and for the purposes of the airshow will come without the standard missile-pod armament.

_________________________________________

Details of the Missile Display
Summary: A display put on in association with Alfegos Aeronautics to advertise the many missiles the company design, manufacture and sell, as well as giving to the public visitors an interesting and detailed description of Alfegan missile development, use and possible future designs.
Location: The display will be put on in the Missile Bay of the Consul-class Aerocrusier arriving at the show, and will be open to the unguided public.
Security: 8 aeromarines will act as guards and helpers to the exhibition.

Details of visiting the Airships
If the airships are not provided with land-based morring (which is unlikely due to the massive spaces required), then motor-boat shuttle services will be run by the support crews of the visiting craft to the airship. Entry is free, yet will only be done as part of a 1 hour guided, guarded tour about the airships (due to safety and secrecy concerns). This means that trips, while every run 5 minutes, will only be done in groups of 8 people at a time, meaining a maximum of 96 people an hour to tour around the airship, yet an unlimited number to visit the musuem aboard the airship missile bay.

FINAL NOTE: ALL MISSILES CARRIED ARE DUMMIES, AND AS SUCH WILL NOT POSE A THREAT. ALL AEROMARINE WEAPONS WILL BE FILLED WITH EITHER BLANKS OR WITH LESS-LETHAL ROUNDS.

Your registration has been received and approved. However, due to the unique nature of the craft that you are bringing, we are unable to grant you access to the same set of piers as the remainder of Fleet Week registrants. You may include them and they will be allowed in the harbor but they will be set up at a special location further east. The airships are the biggest challenge. We do not have any docking facilities present for these aircraft to be placed with the remainder of those at Fleet Week. We do; however, have appropriate space for them across the river in the state of New Jersey. They will still be visible from the western piers on Manhattan Island but a ferry service will be required to shuttle people from Manhattan Island to this site. We will provide the transportation necessary but we cannot guarantee the same attendance at these locations as the remainder of the Fleet Week piers. Your request for missile display has been approved and inspections will be done to ensure that all weaponry is, in fact, inert. In addition, your aeromarines may carry loaded weaponry as can all security personnel from any nation. We thank you for your interest.

SUBJECT: Addendum: Fleet Week 2008 Registration - Number of Fighters and pilot names et al.


First, I would like to apologize for this small slip, and hope this message arrives before any inconvenient is allowed to happen. Also annexed in this message are the operational requirements of the CL-32 Buitre. We have decided to invite the 3rd Diezfuegos naval aviation squadron and the 7th Garbosos for the invitation, with their names a brief career descriptions informed as well. Thanks for accepting our request. The Naval fighters will remain at the Orwell cruiser-carrier, while the Air force ones will be open for static viewing. Both will participate from the air show, with the naval ones emphasizing above sea flight while the air force ones emphasize above land flight. We will take notice of the limits for low pass flights as well.

Number of Naval Fighters: 5 CL-32 Buitres
Number of Air Force Fighters: 3 CL-32s
Pilots Names:
- Air force: Hernán Garboso, Miguel Sanchez, Isabella Ruiz
- Navy: Eileen Schneider, James Drevlin, Francisco Hidalgo, Manuel Figueiredo, Adib Hassad, Marie Tolouise.

*Further ahead, a short career description of each of them is mentioned. Apparently they are more used to exercises and acrobatics than to a real war, although they have participated as ground based militias during something called "Second Spanish Civil War". Furthermore, a notice explains briefly how the CL-32 is more fuel efficient with a biofuel manufactured by Third Spanish States, although also supporting conventional kerosene, how it can take off from non prepared runways, and a virtual leaflet explaining graphically the ropes of doing maintenance of a CL-32 in a barn*

Encryption: Basic Encryption
Subject: Acceptance

We thank you for accepting our proposals, and will be content with the location provided on land. We will remind the fleet week organisers that the missile display is carried and will take place inside the missile bay of the Aerocrusier (now confirmed as the AAS Archangel). Accomodation units will be carried to the site by the ekranoplans for the support crew (in place of normal munitions that would be carried), and the aeromarines will be lodged aboard the Aerodropcraft (confirmed as the famous AAS Gung-ho).
In addition, we are delighted to inform you that the pilot of the AAS Archangel will be Fleet Commander Yha'son Da'soi, a respected advisor to the Sky Marshall of the Alfegan Aerofleet himself. He will be attending most of the events during this week, and will pilot the airship during the boarding demonstration.
On the subject of the boarding demonstrations, we enquire whether training pyrotechnics can be used aboard the airships. These would include:
- Flare launchers
- Air mortars firing imitation rounds
- Smoke generators
The air mortar projectiles contain special explosive charges that are shaped to cause minimal damage to the target airship yet produce a spectacular explosion. These devices are fitted as standard with emergancy destruction features that detonate the projectiles at a safe distance above the ground without any harm to onlookers below, since the majority of components in these are made from cardboard or thin plastic sheeting.
The explosives would be stored aboard the AAS Gung-ho in the onboard ammunition hold, and would be guarded by aero-marines until needed for use, and fitted into specially-mounted air mortars fixed to both the aero-cruiser and the aerodropcraft. These air mortars would be rendered safe by the removal of the compressed gas cylinder that power them.
If needed, we will be willing to give to you for safe keeping the air-mortar ammunition, if it were to increase security any more that it is in your opinion.

Until the festival, best of wishes.

We appreciate the forward honesty concerning these self-defense systems. As they are self-defense systems, we will not require them to be deactivated. We do; however, request that, while the airships are in static display that these systems be on "SAFE" settings to avoid undue harm to nearby civilians and Layartebian assets.

Sincerely,
The Minister of Foreign Affairs

(OOC: Did I come across incorrectly? If that is the case, I'll just say these air mortars are for training purporses, and were to be fitted so that any demonstartions shown to the public would look much more realistic)

The United Dynasties of Mu Cephei would be most pleased if a few aging ships and aircraft could join your show. Mu Cephei has begun replacing it's older ships and navel aircraft with newer ones and these craft are soon to be retired. After much discussion it was agreed in the Navy's highest command to retire the last few remaining ships with a bang. If allowed to come to the show, when the ships arrive they will take port and then guest will be allowed to come on board for tours in the ship with a few lessons on various subjects every so often. There will be an air show everyday, if that is allowed, and tickets will be given to the Layarteb government that allows one person per ticket to sleep over night on the carrier with the crew. Eight-hundred tickets will be given and the Layarteb government may do with them as they please. This is our way of saying thanks. All guest will be given proper quarters and will be treated as best as possible with food, drink, etc. being provided free of charge. All are welcomed.

There will be few munitions on the ships and those that are will be safely locked away completely disarmed. All other rules will be followed by the small fleet as well. It is hoped that this Fleet Week will be very enjoyable for both of our countries.

We are most excited that our Hirgizstanian brothers have joined this year's Fleet Week. We are more than pleased that you have brought back the Reagan and Missouri vessels and there will be special accommodations made for their viewing. They can be docked at the southern shore of Brooklyn this year and will not require berthing in the Atlantic Ocean. We are also pleased that you will be participating in the airshow and accommodations have been made. In addition, since you are a member of the October Alliance, your charges will be waived and the Empire shall cover your expenses. We look forward to seeing you this year.

Your registration has been received and approved. Your vessels will be placed in the overflow area on the southern shore of Brooklyn. Your request to perform an airshow has been approved but is met with some limitations, due to the already crowded airspace. Your aircraft will be provided with an air corridor to the south of Rockaway Beach. We are most grateful of your decision to hand out special tickets and we will be sure to pass them out accordingly. The Emperor has taken an interest in seeing your aircraft perform and will be attending one of the airshow performances. Naturally, since your crew are in Fleet Week they have full permission to enjoy the week's festivities at their leisure. Your request to use ordinance during the demonstration is granted, provided the ordinance is retrieved by your crew. In order to make this event safer, we will open a corridor that will restrict shipping into the area.

Your registration has been received and approved. We welcome you to Fleet Week at Layarteb City and have allocated space for your naval assets. The Empire cannot forgo our first guideline. Should any of these individuals commit a serious crime against the Empire, it would be in our sovereign interests to try them as any citizen in the Empire. We have, in the past, allowed foreign born nationals who committed crimes to serve their sentences in their home countries but this depends on the severity of the crime. For example, a minor offense might not be regarded as anything to waste time over; however, an offense such as larceny, homicide, or terrorism will definitely be regarded as a crime against the Empire. We apologize in advance for our strictness in the matter but it is in the best interests of the Empire to do such. We feel that your personnel should be safe though unless they intentionally seek out trouble.

Sincerely,
The Minister of Foreign Affairs

We are happy to learn that our application has been accepted. We wish to know the costs, in whichever currency you prefer, as we are charging each of our 750 upper class tourists a small fee. We also would appreciate the name and three-letter code for the currency which will be used by those selling goods & services at the event as our tourists have requested this information. Without this information, they will mostl likely use either USD's or Uir Arjets.

OOC: Oh, really? Because the tourists are being charged a certain amount and I just wanted to know how much profit the government was making. so far I have 20 arjets/tourist. 750, that means 15,000 arjets. about. Expenses before the ones you are charging would probably be about 5,000 USDs. I'll add your costs, convert the arjets to USDs and find how much profit the Government is making.

OOC: Yeah figure the cost being accommodations. There aren't any fees to go aboard the ships and there isn't any fee to walk along the piers. Museums and what not are expenses for the person. When I said about payment I more geared that toward your government personnel. Citizens would be required to make their own accommodations but the Empire would provide accommodations to the government personnel (i.e. reserve space and front the bill) and then get paid back by the nation.

SUB: Fleet Week Registration

The Imperial Navy would be most excited to show the citizens of Layarteb its many ship classes, however deploying an example of each would be cost prohibitive and disruptive to deployment cycles. So, instead, we are sending CAN-1056 HIMS Kaatje, one of the ships of the Isabel class nuclear-powered heavy cruisers. Should this event be a success for the Imperial Navy, Her Majesty has made it clear she would not be adverse to making your Fleet Week a regular part of the deployment schedule for the Imperial Navy with more ships participating.

I honestly don't know $5 per 10,000 long tons and $5 for every 10 feet over 600 feet. Surcharge of what $25 per reactor for nuclear powered vessels. I don't know does that make sense?

((OOC: Do they need visas? I know they need their passports in order to get back onto the ship but I don't know if they need visas in order to leave the ship.))

The ship had left harbour the day before fleet week was scheduled to begin. This would give the crew plenty of time to find Layarteb on the world map and sail to the country. Not to mention find parking. It was usually as mess although with specific space allocated for specific ships; the spaces should be marked for each country and which vessel(s) to go in each spot should also be marked. Otherwise it would be hectic to land properly and enjoy the week.

The ship found the space just fine though and the 750 Uir toursists who had paid good arjets to go to Layarteb. It wasn't very often the Uir Government did anything besides law enforcement, national protection and business supports & grants. This was a special occasion and for most of them their tenth supposed once-in-a-life-time oppurtunity. In Uiri it was quite simple, really. Either one was one in approximately 250,000,000 Uir and one was rich, or one was one in approximately 2,250,000,000 and one was poor.

After most of the tourists had left the ship - being reminded to carry their passport and national identity card at all times in order to ensure that if one of them lost one they still had the other and could report the other stolen which would hopefully prevent any possibility of theft because either the thief would not know to report the other item stolen or the thief would not look like the picture.

Tourists carrying loaded guns were asked to inquire about weapons with the Layartebian authorities before bringing the weapon off the ship. Uir officials warned that penalties under Layartebian law would apply to those breaking Layartebian law and those breaking Uir law who were Uir citizens would suffer penalties under Uir law. This was warning not to commit anything which could possibly be regarded as a crime.

OOC: Assume everything's been arranged...

ooc: so, am i to assume it's all right to post in ic?

ic:

FSS Achilles' Revenge, CNVX-45

The massive Thor-class supercarrier cut through the waters outside the Layarteb territorial waters on its way to attend the annual Fleet Week. Preparing for launch was the strike fighter squadron VFA-301 Devil's Disciples. Their F/A-18E Super Hornets were to be showcased at the airfield while the new F-14E Top Cats of VF-41 'Black Aces' were to perform in the airshow. Within the hangar deck, another craft was being readied to the deck elevator. Similar in appearance to the V-22 Osprey, the CV-30 Vogel was an advanced variant, boasting non-afterburning turbofans instead of twin tilt-rotors. The Vogel reached the flight deck even as the last of the Disciple's took off. It's wings unfolded as it was brought to the linear catapult. From the ship's Island, five figures walked towards it.

"Comrade-Premier," Admiral Polenin urged, "You really should reconsider going in a simple transport."

"It's all right, Yvgenni," the Premier said, "How else do we present our aircraft without showing our faith in it?"


"You won't try to...fly it, will you?" General Gorobev asked, referring to the Premier's naval career.

"Don't worry, I'll be here to stop his childish impulses," Samantha Lexi, the Premier's former wingman and current NSA assured the general.

"Where were you to stop me that night at Afterburners?" the Premier quipped.

"Fighting off some very enebriated Marines alongside you if memory serves," she chided.

Their conversation continued as the flight crewmen led them into the passenger compartment and got them settled in. The Premier smiled a bit as the pilot announced the change in the aircraft's call sign from Heavy-26 to Maritime One. The pilot throttled up and the catapult launched them into the sky. After gaining sufficient altitude, the engines pivoted into cruise angle and Maritime One headed for Layarteb City.

ooc: sorry for the long post. if i need to change anything, let me know

The longer the post the better. I've set up an IC thread though [link a few posts above] for the IC action. Zinarie had good points for me to abandon making this the IC and so I started a new one...
