As summer dawned from one of the worst winters in the countries history, people began to pull themselves and their families back together. Many died of starvation and exposure. What was little of the civil government had collapsed, with the authority being turned into feudal tribal leadership. Tribes interacted of course with the various people. However some had struck it rich, uranium and silver were being discovered. It was like gold fever. But most locals didn't have much interest in uranium. In a country with no electricity, phones, anything modern, what good would it do. There was no central government, so who could care about economics. Most were interested in raising families, selling farm tools, boats, day to day life. Then the news leaked, nations that WANTED it were certainly interested in mining it.

From- The Northstar Corparation
To- Whoever it may concern in The Lupine People teritory

As a major mining corparation (at least originally) we would like permision to begining prospecting for Uranium and Silver, and if we do find any to begin minig. In return we will aid in the development of your nation, by building towns, roads, airports, factorys, vast mining complexes and whaterver else you may need.

OOC: Before I post... I wanna make sure you dont mind. ViZion is one of the "good guys" and as such I'm curious if we could "support" a push for a unified Lupine - be it trying to get the tribes to unite peacefully or by supporting one we like and giving their support to forcefully take control of the country and gov't?

Or I could simply begin pumping in economy aid to the country... things like that. Let me know so I know how to enter this RP - or not enter at all...

(For now I want to keep Lupine primitive and tribal based, nations can enter though and interact with the tribes as a precursor to diplomacy, as well as mine the mountains)

To the peoples of Belscraft: You are welcome to enter and begin mining operations. If you chose to hire locals you may.

Thank you,
The Honshu Mountain Tribes

OOC do you have a coast ?

Across the stormy ocean the Hatta family were sailing to the Lupine Island. The kitsunes would feel right at home there being surrounded by fellow anthros. The poor family had farmed all their life. But that was that, as farmers they were very poor. The free society, no welfare rise and fall by one's mertis was Kitsuneville. Hoping to strike rich Kaj packed up his wife and two daughters to mine the mountains. "Papa are we going to be there soon?" The oldest daughter Yuuko asked. She was clining to dear life holding down her insides. She was very sea sick and tired.

"We'll be there soon babe. Just a day more."

And it was admist a terrible storm they made it to shore. "Geetings. We wish to find transportation to the north. The man looked at him confused. He spent some time getting a wagon and horses to the north.

As the family worked their way into the canyon lands of the Lupine Colony a young traveler jumped and greeted them. "Konichiwa! Welcome to our Colony visitors. I can tell you will need some help, so please allow me to be your guide. It's easy to get lost in these parts, especially if you are from away."

"Wow so many ships!" a small girl exclaimed "Come along Yuua." Her nervous mother pulled her along.

The Imperials and the Kitsune were not the only ones approaching the shores of the Lupines' island. Approaching one of the coastal villages was also a group of five military vessels and two freighters, bearing the blue-on-white cross flag of the Principality of Northern Rangeria. The ships, three frigates and two battleships, remained on guard around the two freighters, as a single speedboat was lowered into the water.

The boat swiftly traversed the distance between the ships and the shoreline, five Jaegers immediately jumping on the crashing surf and running on the beach, their assault rifles on stand-by. Following them, an officer jumped off the boat and made his way on the shore. The man was young - probably more than thirty but less than forty - to bear the stripes of a captain, but the authority he bore was plain to see. Silently he looked around, to see if any natives had come close...

As the family worked their way into the canyon lands of the Lupine Colony a young traveler jumped and greeted them. "Konichiwa! Welcome to our Colony visitors. I can tell you will need some help, so please allow me to be your guide. It's easy to get lost in these parts, especially if you are from away."

"Thank you young miss, we would love your help. We'll pay you as well."

Arriving among all the ruckus were also some Allanean vessels – three oversized freighters, owned by the new-born Dukakis Mining Company. Its leader, Jonathan Dukakis, had the idea to profit from this new discovery. And so, flanked by mercenaries and engineers, he stood upon the shore of the strange new country, wording his message to the Honshu tribe, and any other tribe that was prominent.

Dear friend!

You may not know this, but the Allanean people are sometimes very fearful of their privacy being invaded. They often utilize silver as coinage. As such, silver is in high demand in Allanea.

I would like to buy a strip of land (say, ten by ten miles, to start with), to begin silver mining on it, for the export of silver to Allanea. On the land I will erect a satellite antenna for communications with a Allanea, and from it, through WiMax, I will distribute wireless communications to my various employees in the field. 100 Allaneans will oversee the technical side of production, and a large amount of locals will be hired for this project, creating jobs for your people.

Surely this will benefit us all.

Sincerely yours, J. D.

"Thank you young miss, we would love your help. We'll pay you as well."

"No pay needed. I'm happy to help."

--------------
"Sincerely yours, J.D." The tribal leader finished dictating the letter.

"I don't understand, I thought we only wanted the people to be here temporarily. They are not our kind afterall, they wish to destroy us don't they?"

"Not all humans are so cruel Ryuu-sama. Not to mention this can be helpful for those that lost their farms. I say we accept the request from Allanea, it may benefit us greatly. Take a letter Karuu tell them we accept, allocate a stretch that hasn't been claimed. "

Erurū loved the idea of humans coming to her country. She had seen them before when she had to help her family. She knew them to be very friendly. Her father was still recovering from the sever frost bite that almost claimed his limbs therefore the family couldn't grow crops. But there were tides to be payed.

"Mama, maybe with all these humans coming, I should take a job."

"I don't want you working in those mines, they're dangerous koi."

"Maybe I don't have to. I could deliver or shovel coal. I'm strong! Remember mama?"

"Yes, you are."

"So it's perfect. I don't have to work in the dark mines and we don't have to force Arurū into work either. I'm the oldest daughter, and with papa needing his rest, it's my responsibility to help."

"Very well. You becareful my child. I know it is humans that helped us, but not all are to be trusted."

"Yes mama."

and like that Eruru was off again to help her family. This time she wouldn't have to cross angry seas, but up the dirt paths into the mountain Honshu village. She would be able to meet with her own natives as well as more foreigners.

From- The Northstar Corparation
To- Allanea

We have noted your intentions as to the areas mineral wealth. Any infringments on Northstar facilitys or holdings will not be tolerated. This a formal warning - do not interefere in our buisness.

As of one week ago the Northstar Corparation has located a series of silver and uranium deposists in an unamed mountain range designated R114. With local cooperation we are now begining construction of mining facilitys in the mountains and due to the lack of a major indigineous population are taking possesion of R114. Any local inhabitants are welcome to seek employment from the corparation.

OOC: Hmm... Got no response. I think I need to be more direct, then...

IC:

The young captain looked around himself in the silent shoreline, then nodded to one of the Jaegers.

"Sergeant... Hold this position. I will see if there are any Lupines in the area"

"But sir", the Jaeger protested. "We don't know how these people will react..."

"Then we will see", the captain simply responded, and silently patted the pistol on his side. "I know how to protect myself, sergeant, but remember... we came here to establish contact with these people, not to make war on them."

"Yes, sir."

"Good", the young man said, starting then to climb up the rocky beach, heading towards the village...

(I apologize)

The souther shores were much warmer than the some of the wintery northern regions some were already foregoing cloths. Summers were very hot in Lupine. "Men, we aren't decent." A few of the women said. "Well it's a little late now isn't it.

"Yes but men are lustfull, we can't go."

"Come on that's just a silly stereotype."

"Well it seems that one is going to the village."

The village was bustling with the daily business of people. Most of course were clothed with a few exceptions.

A small child saw one of the men enter the village. Excited at the sight of someone she never had seen she grabbed an apple and ran.

"appuru" She smiled and handed it up to him

The GNS Peligan, a Acheron-class Guided Missile Destroyer (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Colosseum/NPDDGSovremenny_Acheron1AU.gif), made good time going at its top speed, 33 knots. Behind the GNS Peligan was the GNS V Rome and the GNS Terranican, both Acheron destroyers. They nose of the vessels cut a V shape into the water as they pulled foward. The Lupine People's Coast was in sight and the small three vessel fleet pulled foward.

On the deck of the GNS Peligan was the well known Admiral Erik Corone. He was the one who sent out the message to engage Ryou ships in the Roma waters. That was a victory well known for not one of the Ryou ships survived and every Grestonian ship was fine.

But this deployment was different. This time they would not engage anyone unless provoked.

(Just go ahead and land and stake a claim)

They landed without any trouble and found others doing the same. They quickly unloaded their gear and equipment and two parties of 40 men were sent out in different directions to find any native Lupines and to find unclaimed lands.

The coast area they landed upon was claimed and parties of men moved out claiming up to native lands and other developements.

"Find the nearest tribe, maybe we can strike a deal with a tribal leader."

"Yessir," reluctantly answered a Sergeant as he gathered men up into an envoy and they set off into the area.

Upon the arrival inside the small village they were greeted. "Konichiwa. {My Mistress has been expecting you.}" She led them to a small farm house of the village leader. The Western Half of the Mountains belogned to the Susuruu Clan, who were at times, at odds with the Honshu tribe.

"Pardon my milady, but travlers have arrived."

A young woman sat up. "Thank you." She was very pale, she had been ill since the winter.

"Welcome travlers."

OOC: Will there be a map or anything of the sort? Also, is this supposed to be an experiment in colonialism based on economics?

Alexander Kardhes was looking forward to today's events. He had hailed from one of the most wealthy families in the Ixanian Empire (his family had plenty of successful people; one of his cousins was a headmistress at one of Ixania's academies) and had just volunteered to lead the Ixanian mission to the Lupine tribes in order to stake a claim to those resources which Her Majesty's Government wanted though he was told to use violence as a last resort. Alexander himself wanted peace and was actually quite interested in meeting the Lupine people so he could get on their good side. With him were three ships filled with miners, workers and builders along with supplies. He had left his wife and two kids at home but thought about having them come to see him when he had finished settling down here and it made him somewhat sad when he remembered his wife because he just loved waking up every morning to see her smile. "Sir! We've arrived!"

Kardhes snapped back into reality and took his flag from one of the soldiers before firmly planting it into the soil. "I, Alexander Kardhes, an admiral in the Ixanian Navy hereby claim this territory and all of its resources (and people?) in the name of the Ixanian Empire." Everyone cheered as they began working on building makeshift houses and mines while Alexander looked at the ocean as if he was in deep thought. He then began ordering an exploration of the area in the hopes of meeting any of the natives. Dressed in his uniform and armed with a sword, gun and his beautiful wife at his side, he began scouring the land in search of life.

OOC: I've staked my claim now. Feel free to have Lupines meet my people; Alexander would quickly want to make sure he can get them to support his plans. If it is possible, I'll turn my claim into a colony of sorts.

The young man halted the moment he saw the small lupine child. Hmm... This could get ugly, if any of the adults saw him do anything that could be perceived as threatening to the child.

He tried to smile as he kneeled down, still wearing his dark blue uniform. He was feeling hot in this outfit, but he wanted to make a good impression on the lupines.

"An apple?" he then asked, smiling at the child. "Thank you", he continued as he took the apple, trying to see if there were any adults around.

(It's kind of experimental and interactive among the natives and those coming to seek riches if someone is good with maps they could draw one out with my supervision.)


The Ixanians hand landed on the western shores, the shores were also claimed by the Honshus. They were truly the largest clan in the Lupines. Though it was partly owned by a small tribe. "Konichiwa." A few of the locals gathered to greet the new arrivals from Ixania. "Follow us."

Because of the size of the Honshu, there were also sub leaders. The main leader was in the village further into the mountains.

"Visitors, I welcome you." Said the Steward Leader. He was strong looking and somwhat intmidating to those smaller. But he had a wife of course.

The child bowed. "There you are runt!" It was an angry vender from who the child took the apple from. "You take my merchandise." The child apologized over and over again for taking. "I didn't know sir. I'm sorry."

The captain's eyes jumped up from the child to the vendor. "Sir... It is alright. I think the child merely wanted to greet me. I think we can settle this", he said calmly, looking at the angered lupine male with calm but curious eyes. Apparently this was the first time this uniform-clad young human had seen an anthro... or at least a lupine.

"How much for the apple?"

Alexander and his group followed the locals and each of them greeted the Steward Leader with respect before Alexander spoke in a solemn and polite tone of voice.

"My name is Alexander Kardhes and I represent Her Majesty's Government of the Empire of Ixania. I must say that is a pleasure to meet you and that I look forward to better relations between our two groups. I was hoping you or someone could show me and my comrades around."

Alexander smiled. "Do not worry about the soldiers....they are only here to protect me and the workers, etc. I can assure you that any of their actions which may result in the injury or death of one of your people will be swiftly dealt with. We are here to make bread not bullets....make love not war."

Alexander noticed the Steward Leader's wife and smiled at her. "I must say that your wife looks beautiful today; perhaps I may obtain some tribal clothing for my own wife?" His wife smiled when she heard those words. Alexander's soul was uplifted when he saw her smile; he always loved seeing that.

OOC: I was thinking of making my claim a colony of sorts if possible. Right now I'll just try to keep my people on the natives' good side.

Dear Sirs and or Madams

It is with great disdain that I must issue dissent towards your very peoples! Why, animals are for hunting! Should I see a fox in my sight, I call for my hound, Maximilian, to kill the fox! Now, you 'kitsune' peoples with your silly fox ears, furry bodies, and tails are a disgrace upon humanity!

Now, I mustn't go off on another tangent. We of the Cohenian Steel Corporation demand the tracts of land as to which you Asian, Marxist, bestialist fetishists found large deposits of both uranium and silver. Should you not comply with the Cohenian Steel Corporation's request, then we shall have to make you comply.

Sincerely,

Prince Richard Augustus Emanuel Terrence Odin Nicholas Ian Andrewson

Apparently this was the first time this uniform-clad young human had seen an anthro... or at least a lupine.

"How much for the apple?"

"10 Lupc (Lupine Coines) for the apple."

The captain nodded and procured a wallet from his pocket. He quickly gathered the sum in coins and paid the man.

"Now... If you can, please direct me to the leader of this settlement. I am here seeking permission to trade."

"I will be happy to make cloths for your lovely wife." Mikuru said.

"Thank you, we are happy you chose to come for the minerals in the mountains. I can assign guides for you. The best will be your leaders thorough the mountain passes."

The captain nodded and procured a wallet from his pocket. He quickly gathered the sum in coins and paid the man.

"Now... If you can, please direct me to the leader of this settlement. I am here seeking permission to trade."

"The leader is just beyond that rig. He will guide you in what you will need to do."

"Thank you", the captain said calmly and bowed. He then proceeded towards the rig, his eyes looking for the captain.

For him, his task was simple. Make contact with the natives in this region, and acquire permission to mine in the mountain range, or seek for a possible trade agreement with these people, trading uranium or silver ore for Principality equipment...

They were guided by a few more natives to the chief's residence. This tribe was the Mizu tribe. They had several stakes on costal areas in the southern region.

"Konichiwa." Ryoko said with a bow. "You must be here to see my father come in, please remove your shoes."

"daifu..." she whispered into his ear. "Aaah.." Her father spoke a much older dialect that would be harder to understand. "I will translate for my father. You may begin speaking kind sirs."

The captain bowed politely for the young female, and quickly removed his boots, placing them outside the threshold. His training in the language of this people was still in its baby-steps, and trying to follow the nuances and the song-like quality of the older male's tongue was certainly quite impossible.

"Thank you, ma'am", he said, nodding to the female, and then bowing to the chief. "I greet you, leader, in the name of my Prince, Mikhail IV of House Halsar. I am captain Andero Kaupala, of His Majesty's Navy. We have heard of recent mineral finds in this region, in the mountains, and many in my country would be interested in these resources. I have been given authority by my Prince and his council of ministers to seek permission on their behalf to negotiate for a trading and mining colony in this region. We are willing to buy land for the settlement, as well as to provide labour for any lupine willing to work."

She began translating to her father. He nodded in his understanding and spoke back to her.

"I'm sure we can come to some agreement," Ryoko said. "We are sure these minerals are valuable. But so is the land. There are many in our village who may be willing to work for you, with the bad crops and shortage of food still." The famine wasn't as bad as it had been Spring had given plants to tide them over.

"The land may be purchased for your consideration. 50,000 Lupc."

Somewhere along the Lupine Peoples Coast, close to the mountain range...

The large transport ships (and a Amphibous Assault Ship or two) of the State Naval Forces lay offshore, drifting lazily in the sea, near the horizon to an observor onshore. Rapidly approaching the shore were large ship-shore hovercraft.

Red Tide had become aware of the Lupine People and their resources a ways back. Although Red Tide had no particular interest in Uranium, Silver, on the other hand, could be useful. The natives, however, were deemed a possible problem source, not to mention the other powers showing up.

Therefore, it was decided that the State Armed Forces, namely the State Guard(IE: the Army) and State Naval Forces(IE: The Navy), were too secure the territory... and liquidate (standard Red Tidean euphemism for 'slaughter') any and all natives inside the Red Tidean claim.

The first State Guardsmen (nicknamed 'Meapuppets', due to their mindless obedience and great numbers), stormed ashore.

The first State Guardsmen (nicknamed 'Meapuppets', due to their mindless obedience and great numbers), stormed ashore.

"I will be happy to make cloths for your lovely wife." Mikuru said.

"Thank you, we are happy you chose to come for the minerals in the mountains. I can assign guides for you. The best will be your leaders thorough the mountain passes."

"Thank you, mi'lady, I must say that I look forward to see the clothes you have made. As for the guides, I'd appreciate having Lupine guides helping me and my group find the minerals. We also would like to open relations between our peoples. Perhaps we can exchange cultures, etc and trade goods."

"Come I'll take measurements." Mikurur lead her into the back.

"Culture exchanges. That is interesting, not something that has been done before in the Lupine territories. But that is something you would have to talk to the Honshu Tribal leader about. She would have such authority in these matters. You will be nearing her village when you make your journey. It will be a two day trip up the canyon."

She began translating to her father. He nodded in his understanding and spoke back to her.

"I'm sure we can come to some agreement," Ryoko said. "We are sure these minerals are valuable. But so is the land. There are many in our village who may be willing to work for you, with the bad crops and shortage of food still." The famine wasn't as bad as it had been Spring had given plants to tide them over.

"The land may be purchased for your consideration. 50,000 Lupc."

Five thousand apples, Cpt. Kaupala found himself musing, remembering the incident with the child. He smiled and nodded.

"Fifty thousand Lupc for the land needed for the mining operation? If that is your offer, then it is acceptable. However, our information about the region is still negligible, so we are willing to hire guides from your people to help our excavation teams find a suitable location."

"Also, as a gesture of good will, I have been authorized to tell you that a shipment of grain and agricultural tools from Northern Rangeria is on its way. Consider it a gift, and an auspicious beginning for the friendship between our two peoples."

OOC: His wife is not actually there but I'll go with it. I'll just edit my post to have her come along with him but the two kids will be at the camp.

"I would be a pleasurable honor to be able to meet the tribal leader of the Honshu as I make my journey and I am hopeful that we may be on good terms with each other so that we avoid bloody quarrels. My family and I will be living in a camp that we have established nearby so if you need anything then just send an emissary or two to our camp."

"I believe that I will begin my journey tomorrow, my friend. Until then let us learn from one another in discussion and activities. My children would probably want to learn more about your culture while we adults discuss diplomacy."

"We should be able to supply you for your camp and the duration of your trip into the mountains. After that the central Honshu village will be your supplier."

the sliding door opened. "Hello uncle."

"Well this is my niece Yuukiku. She's offered to be one of your guides on the trip."

"I also wish to meet your family sir." She bowed.

Alexander smiled at Yuukiku before taking her with him to the camp. "I must thank you for offering to be one of my guides, Yuukiku. I'm sure you'll be of great help."

OOC: Last post for now; got to go.

"I tell you what, because of your generosity I will not only give you guides, I will provide you with any tools you need. You will also have horses and carts for your selves."

"That is most generous of you, chieftain", Cpt. Kaupala said with a genuinely pleased smile on his lips. "Our survey teams are waiting aboard ships near the coast. Once the grain arrives here, I hope we can send them and your guides inland to do their task, and find the location on which the colony may be built."

The young man went silent for a moment, before he looked the chief in the eyes again. "Chieftain, I will be honest with you. We will also be deploying some troops of our military to the colony. Their task, however, is to serve as the police force of the colony until it is fully settled. We do not send them here as conquerors. Merely peacekeepers. And should any one of the colonists - male or female, soldier or civilian - harm or commit a crime against one of your people, they will be punished severely."

"My Niece is a good girl. She's always very helpful."

"You're wife is about finished with her fitting sir."

Upon the arrival inside the small village they were greeted. "Konichiwa. {My Mistress has been expecting you.}" She led them to a small farm house of the village leader. The Western Half of the Mountains belogned to the Susuruu Clan, who were at times, at odds with the Honshu tribe.

"Pardon my milady, but travlers have arrived."

A young woman sat up. "Thank you." She was very pale, she had been ill since the winter.

"Welcome travlers."

The Captain extended his hand to great the tribal lady. He was unaware of their customs so he guessed that hand shaking would be welcomed.

"Hello ma'am, I am Captain Jefferson Willard of the Grestonian Infantry forces being sent through here. I wish to inquire where the gold is and if you would like to have protection of Grestonian troops?"

One of the other soldiers came foward pulled out a breif case. He opened up the case which sported 5 billion USDs inside.

"These can be yours if you let us rent the land and what not. More can be given if you can accomodate us with guides and extra workers."

"Welcome travlers. Forgive my appearance but I have been quite ill. I'm sure you have wished to come to mine the lands. You may so and we will provide you with workers, guides, and equipment."

by now the troops that landed have place marking beacons along a area of 5.6 km² as other troops get flown in from the ship to set up a camp

"My Niece is a good girl. She's always very helpful."

"You're wife is about finished with her fitting sir."

"Before we go I would like to see my wife in her new clothes. I am sure that they will make her look more beautiful than she already is."

"Before we go I would like to see my wife in her new clothes. I am sure that they will make her look more beautiful than she already is."

She emerged from the back dressed in the native dress. "I have included a hood for sun and rain. It's well insulated for cold nights and stormy nights."

"Welcome travlers. Forgive my appearance but I have been quite ill. I'm sure you have wished to come to mine the lands. You may so and we will provide you with workers, guides, and equipment."

"Good madam. Seven billions USDs lay at your disposal. As well as 4,000 armed Grestonian soldiers which will fight for your tribe. You are officially on good terms with the Grestonian Republic and we welcome you."

One of the other men of the envoy stepped foward. It was one of the medics, Dr. Frenin Jules.

"What are you ill with ma'am? Possibly I can help you? It will be part of the reward for helping."

She emerged from the back dressed in the native dress. "I have included a hood for sun and rain. It's well insulated for cold nights and stormy nights."

"My wife looks absolutely beautiful in that dress and I must thank you for giving it to her and for taking the time to do the fittings."

"My wife looks absolutely beautiful in that dress and I must thank you for giving it to her and for taking the time to do the fittings."

"You're are welcome. I make a lot of the cloths for the village. She looks beautiful."

"She truly is a gem. You are a fortunate man, blessed by the Gods."

"Thank you, your generosity is wonderful. I wish I knew what I was ill with. I've been like this since the winter."

"Its probably just a cold ma'am, I don't have any on me but you can probablly take some Advil and cough syrup and be done with it."

OOC: Yes I know you are more kind of primitive I guess but this guy is ignorant.

"You're are welcome. I make a lot of the cloths for the village. She looks beautiful."

"She truly is a gem. You are a fortunate man, blessed by the Gods."

Alexander's wife blushed at the words before her husband spoke. "I must say that I have always been thankful for my wife....after all every man should be thankful for the women that they marry. We will start our journey tommorrow, my friend. For now, let us learn more about each other."

Captain Kaupala had briefly returned to the shoreline to contact his superiors. Before an hour had passed, more Northern Rangerian soldiers had arrived to the village. Though they carried their weapons, most had slung their assault rifles to their backs or taken off their helmets. Many of them were walking around in the village, trying to establish contact with the local population, while those still on duty heaved large crates on the shore. Medicines, iron rations, water purification pills... all as an indirect payment or thanks for the Lupines' help.

The captain himself was on the beach, helping his men to lift the crates on the shore before being divvied among the villagers. The medics and ship doctors had set up their own tent on the beach, offering their help for anyone who wanted it. Treatment, medication, even vaccination if any mother asked for it for their children.

Most of the villagers were curious about the new visitors. Especially the women and children.

A young girl came bearing buckets of water. She smiled and offered it up.

"But this is the only way I can go sir, the only path I can travel."

"to where" said the Lieutenant with his rifle pointing at her

The captain had taken off his jacket, working now wearing only his undershirt and trousers. He smiled at the girl.

"Thank you, little one", he said with a smile, quickly dipping his finger in the water and tasting it to see if it was fresh.

She walked on to refill the bucket. She giggled amongst her friends as she dipped it into the well. Fresh water collected often from rain and rivers.

The captain chuckled, and when the girl had her back turned he quickly dropped two water purification pills in, mixing them in. No point in insulting the little girl... or get a tapeworm.

He looked around, seeing what he believed was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Granted, the lupines' appearance kept some of the men at their guard, but most seemed to be overcoming their initial reaction. He even saw one of the Jaegers leaning to help one of the older girls with her bucket of water.

"Domo." The older girl said to the man who helped her.

Night was beginning to fall on the Lupine Colony, everyone had arrived and the tribes were gearing up for a full day to help lead everyone to the mountains.

Jon Voight sat in the back of the jeep as it bounced along the rough durt track, which really seemed more designed for horses. Never mind though - soon it would be much more civilised once the ygot round to building better roads. The convoy consisted of three jeeps, each with four men in them and two trucks, with a pair of men in the front. A total of sixteen men. However there where hundreds more back at base camp in the mountains where they had established a primitive airstrip and a basic settlement. Even now mine shafts where being planned and heavy equipment flown in. All he needed now was workers - he could hardly do the mining, he was the Corparate Rep, and his men had better things to do. As they neared the village the jeeps slowed down, and pulled up in the main square. He steped out, and put on a pair of shades. Now to find out who the hell was in charge here, and get some contracts sorted out.

"We have many Wolf Gods and Goddesses we believe in. We see women as a fair race that needs to be held to a much higher respect than men. Women are often the ones to take charge of the home and keep the family in order. Of course if there is no husband around then the mother will truly have to do both, gather and take charge. We are pretty grounded, we may move if we have too, but many especially the farmers may stay in one place."

"Then we are different in several ways, my friend. First, the Ixanian people, although devoted to the preservation of the ancient myths of their ancestors, hath for the most part being members of the Ixanian Orthodox and Lutheran Churches.

"Alright, it's not hard to find if you just stay on the main path. You will make one right turn and I'll tell you where."

The relatively obscure country of Vela Verde couldn't resist making a new ally and gaining materials for their nation(and possibly a colony) which was why it sent a small fleet made up of three frigates and five amphibious assault ships to the Lupine island. If not for the guise of going to the island not for the precious sliver but for humanitarian reasons the people of Vela Verde would of simply said no and left the anthros live in misery. To make good on their claims two of the amphibious assault ships had been loaded with medicine and food, while the other two were packed with a mix of soldiers for protection and with the necessary tools to start the foundations for sliver mining. Everything was ready for those on board the ships.

The nationalized precious metal industry was ready to make money, while on the other spectrum the military was hoping that the businessmen could coax one of the Lupine tribes into letting them make a colony to make a small military base. Finally there were those with bleeding hearts who had only come to truly help out those in need. The various goals for the Vela Verdians who were landing on the shores on the island were all different but in the end as the first landing craft opened their doors and men ran out onto the beach they all felt that what they were doing was for the better of Vela Verde.

"Here, turn here." The car turned and rolled into the village. "Thank you. I won't need any assitance from here on. But you tell your leaders you can't carter off the land permanantly, not when there is medicine to be delivered. Sayanora." She bowed

"There are just far too many humans here." said a young man name Kojiuu

"Nii-sama, they've only come to take the metals. We have no use for the silly stuff." said his little sister Kaoriuu

"I don't trust them. I hope our leaders won't give into their demands."

"What if The Honshu does? They are far bigger than us."

"If they harm a hair on anyone, I'll kill them all."

"Nii-sama, no! Then I'll be an orphan!"

"You're right, well I won't, because I have to take care of you."

"Be on your best, some of them are coming here."

The group of 15 men, mostly made up of medics of the Vela Verde Army, a translator and around 4 liaisons for the company that wanted the sliver saw the two Lupine and casually walked over to them.

"Excuse me but I would like to know where I can find the leader or owner of this land", said the De facto leader of the four liaisons to the young man as he then bowed his head. Beside him the translator did his job and translated the man's words to the language of the native. "We come in peace and wish to offer your tribe development aid. We have heard of your troubles and hope with the cooperation of your tribe to make such things a bad memory. So may you please tell us where we can find your leader?" the translator said.

"Here, turn here." The car turned and rolled into the village. "Thank you. I won't need any assitance from here on. But you tell your leaders you can't carter off the land permanantly, not when there is medicine to be delivered. Sayanora." She bowed

"till you learn how to near a busy road or built up area it stay closed off, and seeing you must travel back to your own village I may as well wait"said David as he looks at some kids looking at them

The days had been busy in the Mizu village where the Northern Rangerians had made landfall. While their presence was certainly noticeable, it had soon become clear that their intentions were not to take over the village or any of the important tribal grounds. All they had requested was a patch of ground at the coast line, which was now being transformed into a docking area for smaller transport boats. The water was simply too shallow for larger vessels. A nearby field was used by large VTOL transport planes to carry goods and vehicles, some of which already gone inland with the assessment crews and their Mizu guides.

While the assessment teams were away, the military still had a presence in the village, in the construction of the docking area, but also in less invasive ways. Many of the Jaegers when off-duty came to the shore, not bearing arms or their entire uniforms, and traded with the locals, exchanging rations, chocolate, even small personal items for local jewelry and tools. Some even offered to help the villagers in their daily chores.

All this bode well in the mind of Cpt. Andreas Kaupala as he sat on one of the craggy rocks littered along the shoreline. He was wearing only his fatigue trousers and a dark green t-shirt as he watched the sun set...

"I'm sure our Tribal Leader would be quite interested in learning more about your culture. She is the one you will want to talk to further."

"I would appreciate it if you could arrange a meeting with her for me. It would be an honor to converse over matters of culture with such an esteemed person. Now, if you must excuse me, I must oversee the affairs of the camp. I hope prosperity graces your people."

Alexander returned to his camp in which he showed the Steward Leader's niece around quite happily before he resigned himself to the makeshift home he had built for himself and his family. At dinner, Alexander told his family about the tribesmen he had met and they were very curious as they asked him a multitude of questions; but he was happy to see his wife bearing her share too since she was with the Steward's own wife at the time. After a kiss from his wife, Alexander resigned himself to a night walk around the camp while the others slept. He knew that people back in Ixania were counting on him....and he would make them all proud.

"You will be able to meet up with her once you arrive. It's not up for me to make arrangements. She'll see you, she knows of the visitors. Good luck to you on your journies."

As he returned to the camp he was greeted by young Erurū. "Good day sir, I know you are a traveler preparing to the mines. I was wondering if you could hire me? I will not ask for much, I will be valuable. I'm strong, I'm good with direction, my mama even says I have a sixth-sense about weather patterns. I will shovel coal for your cabin, carry and bring you equipment, what ever you desire good sir." She went down on all fours and bowed on the ground, the utmost sign of respect.

"It will not be a problem for me to hire you, madame, and I believe that you will be quite useful in my journey to the mines. You can stay here in this camp if you wish but please be ready to depart when I give the order. Also, you do not have to prostrate before me. What is your name, young lady?"

"I will be days. I have more villages to visit, you go back."

"you better ask to see the Devil when you cross back"said David not telling her that was his nickname

"lock and load sir"said the gunner
"yes Corporal and i think i'll play Breaking Benjamin Dance with the Devil on the way day'said David
"lol sir"the Corporal said as David got in

"She resides up that slot sir. She'll speak to you when you arrive."

"May you take us to her?" the translator said turning to look at the head liaison. "Should all of us go?" he asked.

"No only you and we will go. I don't want the prescense of the medics to influence their decision. I don't think they would like to them openly carrying weapons." the liaison said.

She stood. "My name is Erurū sir. I'll be ready on your command, I'm used to waking early to tend to crops and animals."

"May you take us to her?" the translator said turning to look at the head liaison. "Should all of us go?" he asked.

"No only you and we will go. I don't want the prescense of the medics to influence their decision. I don't think they would like to them openly carrying weapons." the liaison said.

"Yes sir, we can take you, please come with us." They lead them up the slot to meet with the young woman leader.

"Madam, there are visitors here to see you."

"Welcome, please sit down."

"you better ask to see the Devil when you cross back"said David not telling her that was his nickname

"lock and load sir"said the gunner

"I'll be sure to remember sir." She turned to continue on her way.

"Yes sir, we can take you, please come with us." They lead them up the slot to meet with the young woman leader.

"Madam, there are visitors here to see you."

"Welcome, please sit down."

"As you must already know we are obviously here for what was found. But unlike the other people who have come to make a profit and just leave, we of Vela Verde wish to create a long lasting friendship with your people. As a sign of the friendship we wish to create between our nations we have already decided that the mining company that will be establish will be owned 50/50 by our people and yours. Aside from this there will be more benefits..."

"Your proposal is interesting, please say more."

She stood. "My name is Erurū sir. I'll be ready on your command, I'm used to waking early to tend to crops and animals."

"I am sure you will be useful to us. Have you told your mother that you will be working for us?"

"I am sure you will be useful to us. Have you told your mother that you will be working for us?"

"I'll be sure to write a note back home to tell them about the new opportunity. I had to leave to help out the family."

"I'll be sure to write a note back home to tell them about the new opportunity. I had to leave to help out the family."

"For now you can stay at one of the camp houses until we are ready to depart. Feel free to make yourself at home."

"For now you can stay at one of the camp houses until we are ready to depart. Feel free to make yourself at home."

"Thank you sir, you are very kind. May I discuss a salary with you?"

"I'll be sure to remember sir." She turned to continue on her way.

David nod his head and was gone,time she meet him again building was well under way

"We are in the process of creating a development aid package that could arrive in four months which would substantially increase the living conditions of your tribe from how they are now. Disease and famine would become nonexistent and your people will flourish. All that you need to do is allow us to buy a portion of your land perferrably near the ocean so we can build a port which would allow us to bring in the aid." the liaison said while the translator did his job. "So how about it?" asked the liaison.

"Thank you sir, you are very kind. May I discuss a salary with you?"

"Yes, you can. What sort of salary do you seek?"

Night and David was sitting with his back against a box looking into a fire as he thinks about his Mates ,his kids and his Mate's and his Ixanian girlfriend,as he sings

"Beyond the boundries of your city's lights.
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries.
So many times you did not bring this on yourself.
When the moment finally comes, I'll be there to help.
On that day, when you need your brothers and sisters to care. I'll be right here."

"sir"said a voice in the dark
"sit Russell (http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs23/f/2008/025/4/e/Russell_2_by_MIK83.jpg)"said David to the Corporal who was the gunner from early that day
"thank you"said Russell as he join David

"you welcame old friend" David said as he look at Russell

Russell may not be really smart but he loyal ,a good friend,who find a loving girlfriend in that girl June ,who loves him well ,not caring he big, strong and not really smart as she see him as what he is good caring person , and a good loyal friend David thinks as Russell cooks marshmallow over the fire

"Yes, you can. What sort of salary do you seek?"

"I do not require much sir. In addition to the room and board which I shall be working for, I wouldn't mind a daily allowance of 25 lupc. From now until the end of summer. And if I don't work to your expectations daily, you may forgo my pay until I get it right."

"We are in the process of creating a development aid package that could arrive in four months which would substantially increase the living conditions of your tribe from how they are now. Disease and famine would become nonexistent and your people will flourish. All that you need to do is allow us to buy a portion of your land preferably near the ocean so we can build a port which would allow us to bring in the aid." the liaison said while the translator did his job. "So how about it?" asked the liaison.

"Your offer is tempting, my only fear is, we are meddling in the divinity of our most high with such an offer. As wonderful as it sounds. Don't get me wrong, we certainly are willing to allocate you the land you will need."

"I do not require much sir. In addition to the room and board which I shall be working for, I wouldn't mind a daily allowance of 25 lupc. From now until the end of summer. And if I don't work to your expectations daily, you may forgo my pay until I get it right."

"That is acceptable to me; consider it a deal, Eruru. We will start our journey tomorrow so you can stay here for now; feel free to have a look around and talk to people. My family should be in the house I had built for them and myself in this camp so I will be going to see them unless you would like to meet them then follow me. See you later, Eruru."

"Thank you sir, it's been a long trip for me, so I'll rest for the night."

in the Morning the sound (http://www.projectdelta.net/the_huey.htm) of a Imperial Army J-10 Huey (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t69/zxc_047/Imperial%20MT%20Navy-Army-Air%20Forces/TheJ10Huey.jpg) could be heard as it heads over to the Ixanian Camp

"mm that just bull down by two"said David as he reads the news as he sits in the back

Eruru was shaken awake by the roaring chopper. "What beast is that?" She wondered to her self. She quickly dressed and washed her face getting ready to aid the Ixanian's in the trek up the mountains.

Alexander looked out the window with his concerned wife and curious children to see the chopper land in the camp. "The Imperials? I suppose they wish to speak with us about some things. Pira, you stay with the kids here. I will talk to them."

Alexander, with a hastily organized group of guards, began to walk towards the chopper....although Alexander missed having his breakfast as he was just eating it when the chopper landed.

David Jumps out with Thor and walks over in was in full combat gear of 100 pounds

"a greeting in person then over radio,seeing our nations have ties to one another"said David as Thor sat next to him

"It is a known fact to all Ixanians that an Ixanian maid married your nation's Emperor and we extend the hand of friendship to you, Colonel Scott, and hope our two camps do not get into hostilities."

"go get"said David throwing it far

"We are heading to the northern mines and we can talk now, Colonel."

While Alexander spoke, Pira had sent the children to the forming convoy while she came outside in attire suitable for the weather at the time. She smiled at Alexander before she followed her children. "That's my wife, Pira. I decided to have my wife and two kids live with me here at the camp."

"Your offer is tempting, my only fear is, we are meddling in the divinity of our most high with such an offer. As wonderful as it sounds. Don't get me wrong, we certainly are willing to allocate you the land you will need."
"I am not a man who believes in religion but I am man who can respect others beliefs. If you want to continue living a simple way of life then you may do so and we will live in the bought land and not meddle in your affairs except for in times of emergency, but we highly encourage to consider the development aid we are willing to give to you. For now though we will be content with owning some land near the sea." the liaison told her. Deep in his mind he wondered why they would even think about not taking their offer. But he didn't really care,to each his own. He was just here to get some land and create a mining company.

"I understand. I shall pray over this further. In the mean time, we have a very nice stretch of beach. You may have it, so long as it does not interfere with the local fishers. As for the mines, up the canyon further you may want to move off the paths to begin looking for what you seek. You are friendly people, so let's close our deal."

"I presume a handshake will suffice until we can sort out the exact plot of land we want and create a formal agreement." he said as he then stood up and put his hand out. "By the way are any of your people in need of medical attention?" he asked.

"just give me how many and i'll bring back the right number of birds to carry you in"said David as he takes out two Honeydukes Chocolate bars

'here for the kids" David said as he hold them out

Alexander thanked David for the bars before he had an assistant take the bars to his two children who were with his wife at the forming convoy in the distance. "We have about fifty to one hundred workers at the moment going to the mines up north along with myself. My kids and wife will stay here at this camp just so you know."

She stood and bowed. "A simple bow will suffice as well. If you could see to a few villagers, some of them have suffered terribly from the winter. Some have patches of terrible black skin." (ooc: acute frost bite)

Eruru approached and bowed. "I am ready sir."

The Rangerian survey teams were busily at work in the northern foothills of the mountains, bordering the Mizu territory. The first samples were promising, and reports were quickly sent to the base camp in the Mizu village. For Cpt. Kaupala, this was definitely good news. If the survey teams found definite ore motherloads, the Rangerians would definitely enter a diplomatic and trade relationship with these people...

Some of the young villagers brought the workers water and plates of food. Freshly gathered fish, berries, and wheat.

"May you please come with us then and round bring the villagers so we may treat them in one of our facilities offshore." the liaison said as he then walked outside to where the medics were waiting. "Some of these people have frost bite from what the leader told me. Get on the horn and get us some choppers so we can get them to the Ascella pronto." he said.

"It shall be done." A small group of men and children, most of them boys were brought. Some couldn't even walk because of their frost bitten feet. Others had frost bite on their faces and other places on their bodies. "It's okay, these people are here to help you."

The medics walked over to see the patients and were able to quickly deterimine what had to be done. "Some will need amputation." one of them said as he inspected the right leg of a boy. Behind him two men were already putting another boy on a stretcher. A few feet from them someone with a radio was calling in three helicopters to pick them up. A few minutes later a http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5e/Esercito_NH90.jpgappeared over them and landed near them kicking up dust. The medics with villagers now in the stretchers were put in and then lifted off.

"Now we wait for the other two to arrive and the rest will get medical attention." the translator said.

"back in a hour"said David before getting back into the J-10 to head back to base where he gives out orders

hour Later the J10 now loaded with two gunners and 29 troops with David return with Three Chinook Helicopters following till they hit the camp ,where the pilots of the Chinooks hover as they move their brids into position to land with the J-10 Circling above like a guard dog

Eruru approached and bowed. "I am ready sir."

"Let us depart then, Eruru. You'll be staying close to me throughout the duration of our journey and you may practice any religious ceremonies if you have any that you want to practice."

The Ixanians got into their convoy trucks, etc and began driving towards the Northern Mines. Alexander waved happily to his wife and children who would be protected by his soldiers. The children were eating their chocolate bars while Alexander's wife sighed. "Be careful, Alex....be careful."

"Thank you sir." As they drove up the mountain passes Eruru was keeping close eye on the surroundings. She knew how canyon roads were so she needed to be sharp. "Okay, this part will get a little tippy, so be cautious."

ooc this is how big the port be http://www.navy.gov.au/establishments/stirling/

the Chinooks now land at Ixanians main camp to pick the workers who would fly ahead to set up the tents, as the second lot of workers with the bigger gear would travel by the convoy of trucks

The Northern Rangerians were pleased to accept this gifts of food, and in return they wished to give gifts as well. Iodine, aspirin and other easily-used medicines exchanged hands, as well as a few knives and cookware.

Cpt. Kaupala oversaw all this with a smile, his eyes also looking for the chieftain's daughter. He had come to trust her greatly, and often sought her counsel and company.

"Thank you, Eruru. We'll make sure that everyone is cautious so we can avoid any problems along the span of our journey. By the way, I must thank you for being our guide."

Alexander smiled. "How old are you, Eruru? I'm just curious is all. Also, we'll make sure that we stop often so we can eat, etc. You'll find that we can make some good food when we need to...even if it's not what you'd want to have when not on a journey like this."

with Ixanian Worker drop off at the LZ the the Imperial Army Helicopter head back to base Flying over the Ixanian convoy of trucks on the canyon



#Ixanian convoy the workers setting up camp have been drop off good luck#

"Well sir, from what I've learned of your calender years I believe I would be about 16 years of age. Give or take, I'm not particularly certain. I was born under the Asakuruu dynasty of what is now my native tribe."

"Well sir, from what I've learned of your calender years I believe I would be about 16 years of age. Give or take, I'm not particularly certain. I was born under the Asakuruu dynasty of what is now my native tribe."

"Tell me more about the Asakuruu dynasty, Eruru. When did it take power? When was it born?"

"Well, mama told me the dynasty had ended four cycles later. Cycles referring to the phases of the moon. It's been around since Mama's birth and life, but Papa, he was born under the Shinikuruu dynasty which came before. We had a small I guess central government, but with the horrible winter we had, it basically just ended and we all went back to being individual tribes. Currently our tribe would be under Karuura dynasty, which my little sister was born under.

all was quiet around the Imperial area as so far only one native had been seen and on other have shown up

"really i've not seen one islnader around here, what they all dead or something"said one soldier to another
"vith knows"another said back to the first one

Can I still come about? And if so, is open pit mining allowed?

A D.R.M.S battleship, the Anselmo, had been sailing for 3 months now. The massive warship, the biggest in Montanaa's naval fleet, led the way for ships carrying massive excavating equipment, and crews to run them. Her mighty fleet consisted of the Anslemo, an aircraft carrier (the Continental), three cruisers, six destroyers, 2 submarines, and 8 cargo ships carrying mining equipment, drilling equipment, surveying equipment, soldiers, and the crews to work the mines. They had been sent out for their was word of a new island that had been discovered and had bountifull resources available. They had come to see if it was true. When out of the fog that covered the ocean, a P.T. boat that had gone out scouting that morning, came back and reported massive fleets of other nations' ships stationed around an island. They had found what they were looking for.

"That is an interesting story, Eruru. Can I assume that the phases of the moon determine which dynasty will reign over the tribe in some way? Are all the tribes of this island related or are they mostly distant in terms of culture, etc?"

"No not quite. The Phases of the moon is just our method of time keeping. It's how we judge time. I'm really not sure how certain families come to rule."

Our nation is extremely interested in the uranium deposit in your nation. If possible, we would like to purchase a mine in your nation. Thank you.

The medics walked over to see the patients and were able to quickly deterimine what had to be done. "Some will need amputation." one of them said as he inspected the right leg of a boy. Behind him two men were already putting another boy on a stretcher. A few feet from them someone with a radio was calling in three helicopters to pick them up. A few minutes later a http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5e/Esercito_NH90.jpgappeared over them and landed near them kicking up dust. The medics with villagers now in the stretchers were put in and then lifted off.

"Now we wait for the other two to arrive and the rest will get medical attention." the translator said.

((Reposting incase you missed it.))

Admiral Jerry Trafford aboard the battleship Anselmo looked at the island before him. He then ordered that an FJ-3 fighter and scout plane take off from the Continental to map the island and look for any villages or towns. As the fighter jet went sykward, he also ordered that a brigade of 450 men and several armored vehicles go ashore and make contact with the natives. He hoped that they were friendly for he did not want to lose his best men. He watched as the landing party went ashore and ordered that all vessels go on high alert, should the other nations vessels attack. He ordered that that the landing party claim a section of land, preferably near a stream, and any mountain near it. He was about to claim this land for his country and his fathers mining company. If possible he hoped to confer with the natives over the land and see where uranium deposits might be.

Captain R. Kelly was one of the 450 men chosen to go ashore and make contact with the natives. He glanced at the landing craft behind and looked back at the island in front of him. When they landed, he ordered that 100 men stay behind along with 6 of the 15 amphibious assult craft that had transported them to the island. The rest would go with him to scout the area and find a suitable place where helicopters could land and a base could be established. He led the way into the jungle of the island and wondered what he would encounter next.

"No not quite. The Phases of the moon is just our method of time keeping. It's how we judge time. I'm really not sure how certain families come to rule."

"Is it possible that they fought wars to gain power? Have the Lupine tribes often fought?"

"How terrible. With out limbs, they will become outcasts of society. They will not be able to work with out arms and legs." A woman sighed and said sadly.

"Thank you for the medicines you have beard to us."

(OOC: open pit will be okay but it can't be too large)

The southern most forest/jungle where the group had landed was always hot and humid. Not to mention prone to flooding during heavy rain. Most of the young natives were half to not dressed at all, when they encountered the men it was a sight.

"Konichiwa." Most said

"Is it possible that they fought wars to gain power? Have the Lupine tribes often fought?"

"Our tribes have fought in the past. Not as much but as my papa says, it only takes one drought, one storm, one something to push a tribe over the edge into war."

"well dear i can say the Lupinen woman here a not bad lookers ,what no i not slept with one, but not say i would not"Daivd said into a phone

"sir you need "said a Soldier

"look i go to go love you all" said David before putting the phone down and leaving the tent

"Our tribes have fought in the past. Not as much but as my papa says, it only takes one drought, one storm, one something to push a tribe over the edge into war."

"So I can assume that wars can occur over the absence of food....well many times people have fought over such things."

"men here whats going on one of our UAV Chickenhawk (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e1/LM_Polecat.jpg) Recon Brids having engine problem and the only troop near it's flight parth is us,so they going to land it here" David to 30 troops in front of him and a map


"where sir" asked one

"only place it can land or should i say crash land is this bit of land near the mountains, so lock and load we leave in a hour for it"said David using a combat knife to point to the area on the map


"sir"said the men before moving out to get their combat gear

"So I can assume that wars can occur over the absence of food....well many times people have fought over such things."

"yes food shortages could lead to war."

"How terrible. With out limbs, they will become outcasts of society. They will not be able to work with out arms and legs." A woman sighed and said sadly.

"Our modern science has made it so prosthetics can replace missing limbs and help amputees live normal lives. They will be able to return to work." the translator commented as he then hopped in on the last plane.

"Please come with us." the liasion told the leader as he gave her a friendly smile from where he sat in the helicopter.

"Encouraging. I was fearing but this sounds like it could be promising."

hour later One fully loaded J-10 Huey and Two Viking Gunships as escort, Take off from the base heading for the Field where the crash was going to happen

"yo time for some tunes"said the J-10 pilot as he and the other pilots hit a button which soon had loud speakers playing Breaking Benjamin - Home (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_KT7zoBTAA)


"hell yur" said one of the Soldiers as he checks his weapons

bump?
