Ica State, Peru.

"I am Gregory Michaels of CNN reporting on scene from Ica, Peru, where there have been a series of strange sightings over the past few days. Many of the villagers in this state have claimed sighting strange lights in the sky, in actuality a relatively common claim from this region, though the intensity of these claims have increased fifty-fold in the past years.

More disturbingly, however, in several smaller cities of this state in the past few nights, a few dozen Peruvian citizens have gone missing; at times a corpse being left behind drained of all blood, yet apparently without pain as an autopsy indicates that any found victims of these attacks were in fact asleep at the time of their death.

The autopsies have been inconclusive on the exact mechanism responsible for draining the victims of blood, but it is unlike anything forensic teams have seen before. In response to these disturbing attacks, the Peruvian government has sent significantly higher concentrations of soldiers to police this state.

No official statement has been made by the Peruvian government regarding this incident but we are awaiting to..."

[The reporter's face suddenly becomes pale, his mouth opening in shock as he drops to the ground lifeless.]

[A near-humanoid being approaches the camera, letting out an ear-splitting screech, holding up one of its tubular, dagger-like limbs to the camera in defiance. A human, heavily tattooed, and dressed in traditional pre-Columbian South American style approaches the camera.]

"Brothers and sisters, followers of the true gods." he began, "The time of justice is at hand. For over five centuries our people, the true people of the true gods have been made to taste slavery and oppression at the hands of colonists from a far-off part of the world. For too long have our people lingered in suffering, for too long have we been forced to adopt the ways of and service a culture inferior to our own.

Brethren, rejoice. The Revolution of Blood begins tonight. The Gods of Old, those who descended from the skies so many centuries ago to teach our ancestors how to survive and prosper, have returned to us to carry out our revolution. Once more shall the Teotlacah, the People of the Gods be mighty. We shall wipe from the face of our sacred lands all foreign, slave-driving governments, and we shall once more live in harmony with the Gods and nature. We shall be their holy people, a race of priests, and shall rule over the entire earth as their regents.

The wisdom of the gods has been revealed to me; a vast infinite empire that spans across worlds unknown. The true gods control many worlds, and have many resources at their disposal. They wish for peace with all, but will not hesitate to fight on behalf of the oppressed. The gods stand beside our cause now.

Our demands are simple, yet if not paid in honor, must be paid in blood. We request to the world that all foreign powers claiming territory that was once the land of the Teotlacah and our cousin tribes to relinquish their unjust control, and request that all foreigners leave our sacred lands for the present, until the gods deem it suitable for them to return peacefully. We give to the world a month to accept our demands. Know that the gods are generous to those who cooperate with them, and merciless to those who oppose them.

I am Teoclaxai, High Priest of the True Gods. I will burn the earth with fire and drown it with water before I will allow this injustice to continue.

((OOC: For reference, this is an idea I've had for some time actually, reanimated in my mind after seeing the latest Indiana Jones movie. Essentially, though I haven't yet written up a factbook for this nation - the backstory is pretty simple.

The "Teotlacah" is sort of a blanket term I'm using for a variety of South American cultures who believed in deities believed by some to have possibly been extraterrestrial beings who visited earth in ancient times. These people went on of course to be conquered by the European Conquistadors, many of their traditions destroyed.

There were, however, a few who still hold onto the ancient secrets of the gods, and at last, the old "gods", really an extremely advanced extra-terrestrial race, have returned to them. At the exact moment, this civilization is just PMT, but shortly enough might be FT.

At any rate, technically there's not much to reply to yet; maybe nations stating which side if either they would support. -shrugs-))
