Captain Blake Andrews stared out of his window onto the streets below. Sure, he was on the eight floor and the windows were recently replaced with bullet-resistant glass, but nonetheless, there were few left in this city that would stand in front of any window for any amount of time. Clad in his usual desert cargo pants and black long sleeved shirt, Andrews was just another face in the city, as far as he was now concerned. When he had taken his position as head of the Ghillie Police Force just three years prior, he had a healthy 7,891 men under his command. Now, one too many gang wars later, he relied on a slim 1,018 men to attempt to keep a relative calm throughout Sniper Country's third largest city. After he took his position, it seemed as though the chaos ensued, with gang wars - mostly over territory disputes and drug trafficking - erupting in every sector of the city. After three months of intense urban fighting between rival gangs and drug cartels, nearly 200 of Andrews' men were lying in their graves. It wasn't long after the violence intensified that the daily swarms of officers began to enter Andrews' office and leave without their badges. He was now down to two SRT units, after nine others were disbanded due to a lack of manpower. Of the 94 undercover officers he had working for him when he took his office, only 6 still remained loyal to the Force; all the others had either gone over to the other side or been ratted out by others. Sure, Andrews had pleaded with the Senate on multiple occasions for Confederacy assistance in the matter, but each time he was denied any assistance of any kind. Speaker Drew Haltom had promised him some sort of assistance as soon as the new year came, but that was several months away, and Andrews couldn't stand by and watch what was left of his meager police force dwindle any further.

Andrews stepped away from the window and sat down at his extremely disheveled desk. He wiped his eyes and adjusted the keyboard at his computer. Pulling up his e-mail, he adressed a blanket e-mail to many of the world's Private Military Companies. If the Senate wasn't going to give him assistance, he would have to get it from where he could find it. For this venture, he would be digging deep into the various budgets of the Ghillie Police Force, but it was a measure that had to be taken if he wanted to straighten the city out. He would have preferred to go with Geaux Security, if for no other reason than the company was stationed in Sniper Country. However, due to recent Senate legislation, it was now illegal for PMCs based in Sniper Country to operate within Sniper Country. Therefore, Andrews began his blanket e-mail to various PMCs throughout the world, requesting their aid in taking back his city.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am Captain Blake Andrews, head of the Ghillie Police Force, in Ghillie, Sniper Country. I write to many of you in hopes that you may be able to assist me and my officers in securing our beloved city. You see, in recent years, there has been a drastic increase in organized crime in the city, including several ongoing gang wars. These wars include everything from street level thugs with baseball bats and pistols to extremely organized drug cartels who utilize the best in equipment. I will speak plainly about what we are facing. Our city is essentially an urban warzone. We have found a frightening increase in IED attacks by these gangs and organizations, an everpresent disregard for civilian life, and all-out battles between factions, which have been known to rage for days at a time. Our police force is now less than able to handle the situation, and fear that it may only be a matter of time before the entire city is engulfed in a massive war between crime syndicates. Our pleas for assistance to the Sniper Country Senate have seemingly fallen on deaf ears, and we thus come to you for assistance. If you would be willing to accept a contract for these operations, please reply to this e-mail with your information. Name your price, be it a flat rate or a rate per man. I do have a limited budget, but will do the best I can to accomodate you if I feel you are capable of handling the situation. Please realize that this is not a smalltime operation. Ghillie is the third largest city in Sniper Country, and is therefore considered to be a megalopolis. In any case, please let me know. I have enclosed a few photographs of what you may encounter, should you be available to take a contract with us.

Regards,

Blake Andrews

Andrews clicked the send button on his e-mail. All that was left to do now was wait, and if he didn't get a reply, it would be up to him and what remained of his Force.

"3,2,1, clear! Go!" The SWAT troops hugged the wall as the door imploded, then stormed the house, aiming their MP5s and taking down hostiles within seconds. One drug dealer tried to escape upstairs, but a well-aimed round caught him on the knee and he fell down, screaming various colourful words as he clutched his knee. A shotgun pellet ended the screaming, and the SWAT men lined up to storm the stairs. The lead SWAT trooper aimed his M203 grenade launcher, and three seconds after he launched the frag, the troops stormed the stairs. The first one turned, aiming his M4A1 and as the steady crackle of the carbines started up, drowning the sound of the lone AK-47, the drug dealers were mercilessly cut down. As the last one fell, bleeding from several places, and dead, the captain simply told command "Mission accomplished, HQ. Requesting extraction."

The Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Holy Office of Internal Affairs.
We agree to help you to take back your city. We will send a Knightpolice SWAT detachment.

To Captain Blake Andrews, Ghillie Police Force,

Hello Captain Andrews. We've recently intercepted your telegram about the recent crim wave in your fair city. Now, it isn't a pleasing sight to hear this, however, even though we can't dispatch a military detachment at the moment, we are willing to send in two Vamperial Counter Terrorism Company's to help you supress this rise in crime. We don't expect you to pay us because we know thats the least of your worries. We will however request that you grant us a situable position to come into your city.

Your's,


Vamperial Headmaster Spec Ops, Commander William Jaxs.

FROM: Sparrowhawk Executive Operations

It has come to our attention that you are having issues with security in Ghillie. Sparrowhawk can help remedy that problem. For a reasonable fee, we can deploy our elite agents to help combat the drug lords and terrorists plaguing Ghillie.

Our fee - for around 1,000 operational special-ops trained soldiers, 500 reserves, transport helicopters, APC's, C-130 Overwatch and Transport Aircraft & pre-fabricated living quarters?

Just $425,000 USD - for that we can have the first 500 men on the ground in under 24 hours after you agree and the other 1,000 within the following 24 hours.

Please get back to us as soon as possible

Yours sincerely,

Penny Edwards,

"Well, this would make for an interesting international piece of work, and the publicity would be something fantastic. Gentlemen, I propose that we take this contract on. I propose that we clean up Ghillie."

Facing the board, Gerald Holliver knew that if this deal was clinched, his company would be projected firmly onto the world stage. Whilst one of the larger security companies in Adenia, Brittanican Security Solutions had not yet ventured outside of the Commonwealth - though the company had easily proved it's worth during the Enderby Troubles, where the Enderbian Republican Forces (ERF) had held the island on a knife-edge in it's desperate struggle to free the island from the Commonwealth.

Working alongside conventional armed forces, BSS had managed to reduce the drug trade, weapons smuggling, and attacks on troops and civilians, including illegal roadblocks and patrols. Apparently strikingly similar, the Ghillie contract would provide BSS with a valuable stepping stone onto the international stage.

Captain Andrews,

Allow me to be among the first to express my sadness at the current situation in which you find yourself and your city - it is a situation that plagues many nations, and has indeed included my own nation in the past.

I therefore wish to offer the services of my company - Brittanican Security Solutions.

BSS offers a full-package security system - we offer day-to-day policing and security, with a more extensive military-style patrol venture for more difficult tasks requiring more heavily-armed personnel.

Using our modified Range Rover Defender 4x4's and Saxon APC (both customised to resist IED attacks), we are capable of policing and providing to all but the harshest of situations.

Your city's predicament is similar to a period known as the Enderby Troubles - BSS, working alongside conventional military forces, managed to aid in reducing daily terrorist attacks, rampant drugs trade and overflowing arms trade to a peaceful society, policed by a regular constabulary - achieved through progressive social initiatives to stop the young becoming entwined in crime, and hard-hitting police and security action, which led to hundreds of raids a day taking place and the confiscation of millions of dollars worth of drugs and weapons, including rocket-propelled grenades and explosives.

We believe we offer a cost-effective service, willing to provide policing for $375,000, if all accomodation is provided; conversely, we are willing to provide our own transport and accomodation for $450,000. This will bolster your current forces with 850 (a company in Adenian Terms) of our finest, including beat officers, civil order operatives and social & community outreach workers.

Rest assured of the quality of our services; the majority of personnel have had some career in the armed forces, and range from Special Forces (including the Special Boat Service, Adenia's foremost and most well-known special branch), to the Royal Aeronautical Service (our pilots).

A list of equipment we use can be provided on request, along with an instruction as to whether lethal or non-lethal weaponry is to be used in your city.

I wish you all the best in your decision, and look forward to your reply.

With kind regards,

It had taken a few hours, but Captain Andrews was relatively pleased with the responses he had received to his e-mail. Rolling up his sleeves after a patrolling survery of a small neighborhood in Ghillie, Andrews began to reply to each message individually.

To: The Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Holy Office of Internal Affairs

To Whom It May Concern,

We do appreciate the offer of assistance; however, I am afraid I will need at least more details on both your unit and pricing for such a unit. You must understand that I am making an extremely serious attempt to retake my city, and thusly I am making the most well-informed decisions as possible.

To: The Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Holy Office of War

To Whom It May Concern,

I am sorry, but the GPF is in no way interested in military assistance, per se. The operation I am conducting is, how do I say... off the record. Any actual military presence would set off flags to the Confederacy and quite possibly shut down the operation before it begins. Thank you, though.

To: Vamperial Headmaster Spec Ops, Commander William Jaxs

Commander Jaxs,

I do sincerely appreciate the response to my inquiry. I will, however, need more information on your unit. I am attempting to make the most well-informed decisions as to units entering our city, as to not set off alarms to the Confederacy. As far as a position to come into the city, I fear you may need to clarify for me. We have the Ghillie International Airport, and if you are speaking of quarters for your men, we undoubtedly will have no problem with that. If you require any information from me, please let me know and I will get it to you as soon as feasible.

To: Sparrowhawk Executive Operations

To Whom It May Concern,

Allow me to assure you that I definitely appreciate your offer of assistance. I am most assuredly considering your offer, and have but one question. Your company seems to be a quite efficient force, and given all the equipment you have to offer, including your own prefabricated living quarters, would it be possible to have your men stationed within southwest Ghillie? Let me warn you that southwest Ghillie is on par with the most threatening of environments in Ghillie. The southwest has seen a surge in violence that places it on par with the most dangerous district in the city, known as Ensemble Disctrict, which is located in north-central Ghillie. If you need more information, please let me know and I will forward it to you as soon as I can.

To: Gerald Holliver, Brittanican Security Solutions

Mr. Holliver,

Allow me to say that I am most pleased that your company is looking into accepting our contract. You seem to have your company under complete control, and thus, I am most intrigued by it. Let me assure you that at this point, Ghillie is the proverbial "Wild West." This, for all intents and purposes until further notice, is an essential military operation. There will most likely be daily raids of cartel and gang strongholds, and the potential for sustained firefights is great. I fear it is extremely rare that non-lethal methods of enforcement will be utilized. We look forward to seeing your men involved in the law enforcement of Ghillie alongside our own ranks. The funds will be transfered from my account here to yours in a few minutes. Your aircraft will be safe to land at Ghillie International Airport, and from there you may most safely convoy to mid-east Ghillie, where the GPF is currently stationed. You shouldn't run into any resistance on the ride, but in this city, it's always a good idea to be reay for anything. After your arrival, I will meet with the commander of your troops, and we will work from there. Once again, Mr. Holliver, I thank you for your assitance in this matter.

[OOC: Burtilana, I'll get to the response to your post in the my next post.]

OOC: I'll RP an IC responce to the message when I have some time, but it'll be a yes answer to the area you mentioned.

There is no pricing involved, all we request is a military alliance after the attempt to take back your city ends. As for the units,
The Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Holy Office of Internal Affairs.
Knightpolice SWAT detachment= 200 Knightpolice SWAT officers, armed with M4s, M203s and GPMGs.

The Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Holy Office of War
The High Lord's Own 5th Guard= 400 crack infantry, airborne capabilities, Spec-Ops capability, IFAM AR-5 Sniper configuration, IFAM AR4C Carbines.
20th Infantry Division= 20,000 infantrymen, armed with IFAM-AR5 Assault rifles, Stingers, LAWs, M2 Bradleys, Warrior IFVs and a host of other weapons.
11th Armoured Division: 1500 Leclerc tanks and Phalanx MLRS units, as well as Paldin Howitzer batteries.
Marine Taskforce Nautilus: 2 Wasp class Amphibious assault ships, one cruiser, two destroyers, two frigates, two long range assault frigates, long range surface to surface missile frigate, Ballistic Missile Destroyer.

Greetings and wishes of an extended lifespan,

It has come to the attention of the Aperture Science Security and Urban Planning Department that you have issued a request for assistance with domestic disturbances. Naturally, we regret that we can offer you our services, however, we are pleased to offer you our services.
We present, for your perusal, several options which will assist you in the reclamation of order and peace within your city.

First and foremost, the Aperture Science Passive Persuasion and Conciliatory Confection Criminal Impairment Device Device, AKA: Cake. While delicious and nutritious, the Aperture Science Passive Persuasion and Conciliatory Confection Criminal Impairment Device Device contains a powerful sedative in addition to the standard ingredients (such as rhubarb). The sedative is contained within a time-release capsule to ensure full consumption of the cake, enabling large groups to be overpowered with minimal effort.
The cost is a mere USD12 per cake. Add USD2 for custom designs and USD.5 per word for custom messages.

Second, and perhaps more applicable, the Aperture Science Urban Police and Combat Armor (UPCA). The UPCA is composed of lightweight, flexible, and strong polymers which, although less delicious than cake, provide far superior protective qualities. The armor will stop virtually any unpowered melee weapon wielded by unmodified organics, and will provide significant resistance to any powered devices (such as chainsaws). The armor is not designed to stop powered devices (such as chainsaws) and any use of such devices against it may void the warranty of the device. Please consult the warranty of the device to ensure that the warranty of the device will not be voided.
The UPCA will also stop most anti-personnel rounds, including up to .45 caliber JHP rounds at a distance of 3 meters (warranty void if under 3 meters).
Currently the UPCA comes in standard Aperture Science white, however, a number of kits are available to apply camoflage of various types to the armor. Please note that application of camoflage violates, and thereby voids, the warranty.
Please note that wearing, attempting to wear, modifying, removing the armor from its original packaging and in any way handling the armor void the factory warranty.
The price per unit is normally USD2,000, however, as a special one-time only offer, we will lower this two payments of USD999, because you are a valued customer.

Thirdly, the Aperture Science Urban Patrol Drone (UPD), a robotic drone designed to patrol streets where organic officers have been overwhelmed. The UPD is equipped with a suite of sensors and an extensive memory, allowing word-perfect recollection and processing of national and local law databases, records, cases, and precedent, allowing the UPD to act, should its enforcement protocols be fully enabled, as judge, jury, and executioner. For this purpose, the UPD may be equipped with a variety of armament, including the standard .45 caliber Aperture Science Enforcement and Vital Excise Device.
The drone comes in two varieties, the Urban Street Patrol Model, equipped with treads and a standard Aperture Science Tripedal Mobility Enhancement Array (also known as 'legs' in organic terms), for enhanced mobility in urban environments, and the Polydirectional Aerial Hover Model (in laymans terms, it flies.), equipped with the very latest in aerial mobility technology.
Each UPD is avalible for a price of USD6,500, however, for a limited time, we are offering a package deal of ten of each unit for a mere 299,999. An excellent deal in all regards.

Have a nice day.

SalesBot Mk IV,
Aperture Science Sales Division.

FROM: Sparrowhawk Executive Operations

It would be entirely possible to locate to the southwest of Ghillie. I understand that the fighting has become brutal there, but if you're employing our services, we intend to change that. We'll be in the air momentarily, just give us an airport to land at.

The e-mail responses continued to come in throughout the night, and Andrews promptly replied to each as they arrived. He had grown accustomed to running for days on end with little to no actual sleep - a custom which he sometimes despised more than his city's situation itself.

To: The Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Holy Office of Internal Affairs

To Whom It May Concern:

I appreciate your offer of troops to aid us in our attempt to retake our city. However, I you must understand that I am wary of receiving aid from foreign government agencies. You see, there is always the potential for things to get, well, hairy in this city. And when things do go haywire, and when men die, people want answers. And in working with a foreign government, I am afraid that answers will not be issued, and moreover, blame for the incident may have to be shifted toward the (read: your) men. Furthermore, if this situation blows up with foreign government troops within the city, the Confederacy will seek out answers, and thereby destroy what I myself am working tirelessly for. I hope you do understand what I am trying to convey.

To: The Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Holy Office of War

To Whom It May Concern:

Sir or ma'am, once again, I am going to have to advise against foreign military presence in this operation. Not to mention that the equipment you intend on sending tends to come across more as a declaration of war on the Confederacy than an urban operation within Ghillie. You must realize that this entire operation is off the radar, unbeknownst to Confederacy and Senate officials. Therefore, if your men, equipment, ships, etc., do in fact enter Sniper Country Coastal Waters, the Confederacy may very well take it as a threat, issuing warnings and, ultimately, engaging your forces. I hope I am not stepping out of my authority by advising your men to stand down.

To: Aperture Science Sales Division

To Whom It May Concern:

I am sorry, but the GPF is currently not interested in attaining equipment for our men. Thank you.

To: Captain Adrian Mattias, SparrowHawk Executive Operations

Captain Mattias,

I am pleased to hear that you accept the challenge of southwest Ghillie. Your aircraft will be landing at Ghillie International Airport, and the area surrounding the airport is currently safe from gang and cartel activity. It is, however, advised to be on your guard at all times. You may then convoy to a site of your choosing within southwestern Ghillie in order to set up your FOB or BOA, whichever you prefer. Once you are set up, please let me know and I will make the trip to meet with the commander of your units in the area and discuss the operations forthcoming. Please be advised that a small number of GPF men will be assigned to your men upon operational readiness. Unfortunately, I am unable to get you priority clearance at the airport. I look forward to meeting with your troops and commander when the time presents itself. I will wire the appropriate funding momentarily. Once again, thank you.

Captain Adrian Mattias closed his laptop and stowed it with the rest of the computer equipment in the Boeing 747-400. It was packed with soldiers. The main equipment was on it's way later, along with the other soldiers.

He stuck his head into the cockpit

"Ghillie International Airport" He said to the pilot

"Righto" replied the pilot, turning the aircraft. They had been in the air since the job had been announced. It was the only way to achieve the "We'll be there inside of 24 hours"

Mattias stood up

"Alright!" he shouted, causing the chatter to die away. He looked around, knowing all eyes were on him. He loved this bit, the suspense was amazing

"We've got a go" he said, as cheering erupted from the occupants of the plane. He saw the seatbelt light come on.

'Yeah, like that's gonna happen!' he thought.

Over the chatter, which still had the air of exitement about it, he heard voices in the cockpit

"Ghillie International, This Is SparrowHawk Alpha-Whisky-Echo, requesting permission to land"

This is indeed excellent news, and we are honoured to be of service. Deployment will be in the course of the next few days - all of our men will arrive at once, in the interests of safety, and we will require regular logistics service, also providable by ourselves, but will require a regular slot available at the airport for 1 fuel tanker aircraft and 1 basic logistics aircraft.

Otherwise, I look forward to working with you.

OOC: Proper post a-comin'

To: Captain Andrews

My name is ... my name... is not important, but rest assured I am someone who can help you in your predicament. I am somewhat an outcast in my home country of The Phoenix Milita, but in situations like the one you are now facing, even my own government would call on me.
I am a specialist in all types of ground warfare and I have wide ranging combat experience, from covert and clandestine operations to conventional battles with up to battalion sized forces under my command. Myself and three of my most trusted associates have decided to offer our assistance to you. In additon I have been authorized to take command of a detachment of Phoenix Dynamix Security(PDS) forces. These men have been hand picked by myself from the Rapid Response Teams and now defunct Phoenix Dynamix Mercenary divisions of PDS. We require no fee until we achieve victory. Once victory is achieved we expect only that our expenses relating to logistics be taken care of, along with reimbursement for any losses plus 5%. I will be paying my troops out of my own pocket until then. I can land a total of 424 men and 2 women, many with military police backgrounds, still more with infantry and special forces backgrounds; all with combat experience, at Ghillie International within 36 hours. This force will be complete with M-800 vehicles including technical and MRAP variants as well as my personal combat vehicle, K-9 units, unmanned aerial vehicles and even the AH-3 Viper compact assault helicopter.
It is a miracle that I have been authorized the use of so many Phoenix Dynamix assets in this endeavor, but then again, Sniper Country has always been viewed with respect by The Phoenix Milita and Phoenix Dynamix.
Nevertheless, we implore you to accept our offer quickly, lest support dries up.

Good Day, Mr. Andrews

Our understanding was that the police force required more manpower, and while the UPD units are, perhaps, not ideal for the more sensitive operations, cheap, expendable units such as the UPD, even with its enforcement protocols set to minimum (enabling only cautionary measures) is quite sufficient for standard patrol duties and basic law enforcement.
Such units would free a significant portion of your native force to be applied to more important duties, such as clearing violent deviant citizens from the streets.
Of course, we realize that some cultures hold to the quaint view that the 'man on the street' is the main portion of the law enforcement apparatus of any nation, and for these we offer the ability to fully remote control units from an Aperture Science UPD Command Station.
Another excellent use for units such as the UPD is room clearing, perhaps the most dangerous part of an officers duties. No doubt many a brave organic has lost its life breaking into a narcotic merchants domicile only to be met with a chemically propelled cloud of lead shot to the face. A truly unfortunate situation.
Fortunately, the polymer armor of the UPD's allows them to resist most small arms, and in the sad event that they are neutralized by the attack, it is quite fortunate that, as non-organics, they may simply be repaired and put back on duty in a matter of hours or days.

If you are still not convinced of the sincerity of our offer, we would be pleased to dispatch a subdirector unit to assist in the set up and demonstrate the usefulness of the units in a real situation. We are quite sure that you will be impressed with the adaptability and reliability of the units.

"Sparrowhawk Alpha Whiskey Echo, Ghillie Tower, cleared to land runway two-seven-left, wind calm, left turnoff midfield, minimum time on runway, welcome to Ghillie," the controller rapidly spoke to the incoming Sparrowhawk aircraft. The aircraft would be parked on one of the various ramps with any number of different passenger airlines.

Long into the night, Captain Andrews pecked away at his computer, taking occasional breaks to notice that a new bomb had gone off in the depths of the city or to walk the halls for a new cup of coffee.

To: Gerald Holliver, Brittanica Security Solutions

Mr. Holliver,

I am sure you should have little to no probelm securing two ramp slots for such aircraft. Traffic into and out of GHI as of late has been less than continuous. Of course, you may request that the aircraft be parked in freight parking for an elongated stay, simply as to avoid unnecessary questions. Once again, Mr. Holliver, we thank you for your assistance, and once you are in order here, please have your commander of the men on the ground give me a call, and I'll be over as soon as feasible to figure out a gameplan of this operation.

To: A Concerned Phoenix Militant

To Whom It May Concern:

Sir or ma'am, I hope you understand where I come from when I say thi, but I am afraid I am unable to deal with those that will not reveal who they are. Aside from the obvious reasons of trust, I simply cannot risk having an unknown contingent of people come into my beloved city, not knowing exactly what is going on. I cannot call on the Confederacy or the SCAF to assist me if things get hairy out here. I cannot (and will not) assume responsibility for the actions of those who enter my city during the course of this operation, which is why I am explicity requesting the assistance of PMCs. So sir or ma'am, even though you may view my nation with great respect, which I thank you for, I will not accept assistance from shady, behind-the-scenes figures.

To: Aperture Science Sales Division

To Whom It May Concern:

Sir or ma'am, I am afraid that the GPF is currently not in the marking for such, "robot," technology. Once the city is under our control, and we have plenty of time for inventory adjustment, you will most certainly receive our attention. However, until then, I am afriad I must deny your services.

Captain Andrews,
Please realize that what I am offering is the services of Phoenix Dynamix Security(PDS), which is nothing other than the best PMC in the world. However as a subsidiary of Phoenix Dynamix, PDS could not overtly accept a job like this, due to the political risks involved. The fact that the CEO of Phoenix Dynamix is also the leader of The Phoenix Milita plays no small part in this. That is where I come in. As an "independent contractor" I have a little bit more leeway than a massive multinational corporation like Phoenix Dynamix. By accepting my services you would be hiring Phoenix Dynamix Security, except without any limitations. I hope you are beginning to see the reasons behind approaching you in this way. I too am a Captain and I can identify with your situation and understand your concerns. I can reveal my name and provide references, through a more secure communications method...someone like me must always take precautions. Perhaps I should come to Ghillie to meet with you personally and address any concerns you might have. I could come tonight on a commercial airline if needed. I can include dossiers on all of my officers and lead NCOs as well as a selected record of our operations if necessary. All of those under my command are upstanding members of society and will be bound both by your laws and the KOP honor code at all times.
-Cpt. S.

To: Captain "S."

Captain,

I do believe that in order to contract your services, it would be in the best interests of both you and I if we met in person. Of course, such a trip will be at your own expense. You will need to get a cab or provide your own transportation throughout the city, as I will not be rerouting any of my men to assist in the protection of you or any contractor in Ghillie, unless out on a specified mission. I look forward to meeting you, and looking over exactly what you are offering.

Tre-8, or that's at least what his street moniker, looked throughout the various terrorism support forums on the internet. As head of the South Ghillie Nines, the most prolific and pervasive street-level gang in Ghillie, Tre was constantly on the lookout for newer, cheaper, and more effective means of establishing the Nines throughout the city. Sure, there was the Juarez Cartel and the Obregon Brother's Cartel, but they weren't as concerned with territory as the street-level gangs were. All the cartels really cared about was pushing their product throughout the city, nation, and world, by any and all means necessary. Of course, if you messed with them, they undoubtedly messed with you, but it was the way things were done, especially in this godforesaken city. But right now, Tre was less worried about the cartels than he was the other various street gangs in Ghillie. The Nines had established themselves as the team to be on, but in doing so, they also established themselves as the team to beat. Whoever took them down would be on top of the proverbial world of Ghillie. With over 16,000 adherants to the Nine's "doctrine," the gang was, in some ways, more powerful than the cartels operating in the area, although not nearly as organized. They operated in everything: illicit narcotics, weapons, racketeering, prostitution, murder/assassination, slavery; anything that could empower them further. It was one reason the cartels didn't operate with them; if the Nines got too powerful, they could potentially pose a serious threat to their operations.

After nearly an hour of searching, Tre found what he was looking for. Armed Protectors of Burtilana? he thought to himself. Hey, it worked, as long as they could provide what he was looking for, which they did. He loved how easy it was to get what he needed online. Technically, he had three Doctoral degrees and nine Bachelors degrees, but nobody was really counting anymore. Typing as if he was an English major (although he had two degrees in the major... from the internet, of course), Tre placed his order with APB...

(10) Daisy Chain Bombs [$12,000]
(1) Riot Package [$25,000]
TOTAL: $37,000

Tre sent his order and sat back, expecting confirmation of his order soon. Just a few more weeks, and he'd be ready to take on the GPF, and finally run this city like it should be run.

Somewhere in Phoenix, AZ, TPM

Phoenix Seville was out on the range behind his house, practicing shots beyond 600 meters with his AR-22A4 rifle when his PDA began to vibrate, indicating a response to his recent email. He set his rifle down on the table and read the short message. He then, somewhat excitedly, grabbed his rifle and the spare magazines that were laying around and went back into his house. He was wearing full KOP armor, with a black pattern uniform. As he entered his room, he removed his helmet for the first time in days. Phoenix, like all present and former K.O.P., generally treated his gear as a second skin. He rarely took off any of his combat gear, even to sleep. Unless he was working out or taking care of personal hygiene he wore it 24/7 for the most part. But as he experienced more and more situations in which its wear might cause unwanted attention and jeopardize his goals, he learned to adapt and function without most of it in many situations, where appropriate. Since it seemed that he would be taking a trip through civilian channels, this time seemed as appropriate as ever.
Phoenix carefully removed his boots, plate carrier, load bearing equipment, tactical gloves, and his knee and elbow pads and placed them into a bag along with his helmet that was sitting on the bed. With the bulkier items of his kit removed he could fit into some regular clothes and pass for a somewhat "normal" airline passenger. He pulled on a pair of lose fitting khaki cargo pants and threw on a casual long sleeve shirt. No one would be able to tell he was wearing a fireproof, slash resistant, sweat wicking layer and level IIIA soft body armor under his clothes.
He would also have to forgo his distinctive black KOP issue boots for a commercially available version of TPM tan light infantry boots, in order to blend in. Phoenix finished his attempt at the inconspicuous look with a tan ball cap and a pair of sunglasses.
He then carefully disassembled his 10mm combat pistol and its carbine stock system and concealed the pieces in hollowed out common personal electronics devices.
Once he was all packed, Phoenix opened a drawer and selected a fresh passport, ID card and credit card, each with a matching false name. He placed them into his wallet along with a rectangular knife made of a composite material and about the size of a credit card.
Now that he was finished getting dressed and packing, he reached into a drawer, selected a disposable cell phone and dialed the PISS AIR hotline.

"I would like to reserve a one-way ticket to Ghillie, Sniper Country, the next available flight."

"Certainly sir, would you like a first class or business class seat?"

"It doesn't matter... oh, and I have a coupon code... " Phoenix said slyly

"Of course sir, please enter it into your phone's keypad."

Phoenix pressed 12 keys in rapid succession - the secret code used diplomatic, government and high-paying vip users of PISS AIR, which would ensure that no records would be kept. The line emitted a shrill jamming signal and then was redirected.

"If I could please have your name and credit card number..." a new voice said

"Darren Swanson, Visa # 4240-2120-2190 code 428" Phoenix replied.

"Your flight has been reserved, Mister Swanson, thank you for choosing PISS AIR."
He hung up.

Phoenix threw his carry on bag over his shoulder and headed for the door. He glanced for a moment at the keys to his sports car that were on the dresser... but he remembered, he couldn't drive his own car - he was traveling as someone else.. "but 450hp!!! arrgh" he thought. Phoenix desire to drive 120mph down the expressway relented and he stepped outside and caught a taxi to the nearest maglev train station. Once there he got on the first airport express shuttle. The maglev train brought him right into the terminal. After flirting with one of the female security guards didn't work, Phoenix withdrew a $50 note from his pocket and bribed his way past the long security check-in line. "Damn I love this country" he thought to himself.
He then walked up to the main PISS AIR ticket counter in the airport.

"Hello I have a reserved ticket waiting for me" Phoenix said pleasantly.

"Name?" the young female ticket clerk asked.

"Mr. Darren Swanson."

"Ahh yes, here we are." she said as she read from the computer screen and then handed him a ticket. "Your flight is boarding in 5 minutes. Enjoy your trip."

<8 hours later>
about 18,000 feet over, Ghillie, Sniper Country

"Please fasten your seatbelt, we are about to land" a stewardess said to Seville, while shaking him gently to make sure he was awake.

Phoenix awoke from his light sleep, well rested and full from the cheap on board meal.
Once they landed at Ghillie, Phoenix got off the plane and walked towards the nearest car rental desk.
He proceeded to rent a SUV and prepared to make his way to the meeting.

The 747 landed and taxied into a parking gate. All the men were dressed in civillian clothes and carried no weapons. They were, after all, civillians untill they got into Ghillie. The weapons and other equipment were stowed in the cargo bay, and some of the boys would get it off and out of the airport as secretly as possible.

Meanwhile, in the terminal, Mattias was working on his computer. He clicked a few keys, and the computer worked his magic, triangulating the source of the first e-mail. After it showed him, he closed the laptop and waited untill he saw one of the men wave to him from outside. He headed out and retrieved his bag, and then started walking to the nearest police precinct

'I hope this Captain Blake told his men what was happening' he thought to himself as he walked.

Some Time Later

Mattias walked around another corner dragging his bag behind him. The men were following him, but they were all spread out.

Mattias thought he could see a police precinct. He walked in and up to the desk

"Hi" he said "Name's Captain Adrian Mattias - I believe you're expecting me and my men?"

The secretary at the front desk gave Mattias the once-over, and after a few moments of speaking with Captain Andrews over the interphone, waved him into the elevator behind her. The elevator ride was quick, taking Mattias to the eleventh floor, where Andrews' office overlooked the city. Captain Andrews turned and stood to greet Captain Mattias with a slight smile on his face.

"Captain," he began, not taking time to offer a drink or cigarette, "I do believe I instructed you to set up an operations area in the southwest, and afterward I would make the trip to come meet you and your men. The fact that you can't even follow those simple instructions worries me as to your competence in the operations of which we are about to embark." Andrews was obviously perturbed; he pulled a black cigarette from the pack on his desk and lit it as he stared out of the massive window behind his desk. "I need a detailed roster of your men and equipment, and I'll get you the same on the men I intend to assign to your unit," Andrews continued, taking a long drag from the cigarette and awaiting a response from Mattias.

Phoenix drove carefully through the unfamiliar streets, relying on a small GPS system he brought with him to navigate his way downtown. Ghillie looked too much like so many other "troubled" cities he had "visited" before. The only difference now was that he couldn't walk around with high powered rifle, full body armor and a squad of infantry at his side. Phoenix felt a little exposed driving around in the unarmored SUV without most of his normal gear. He heard an explosion in the distance. Phoenix patted his pistol, which was concealed in the seat cushion, but still in easy reach. The drive continued though without incident. He parked his rental in the lot and went inside.
Phoenix walked in and greeted the person at the front desk.
"Hello, I am here to see Captain Andrews, he should be expecting me, Captain S."

To Captain Blake Andrews, Ghillie Police Force,

The Vamperial Counter-Terrorist Company is a branch off the Lynion Assassin's that require the best of the Spec Ops Lynion has to offer when it comes to terrorismin the nation. In order to help us become Couter-Terrorists, the company was trained under Lynion Assassins and Lynion Hunters from storming buildings, to rescuing hostages, to taking down large drug pins and crime rings.

The two companies that are coming are around 26 men to a company so there'll be 52 men coming to help you. We know its a small number, but when it comes to taking down terrorists, we've learnt from the past that small numbers can be as deadly as larger numbers.

I'll be personally taking command of our blokes. Transportation has being secured and we'll be coming in a pair of C-370's as well as landing at the airfield that you have noted to us.

The secretary looked over the mysterious man, lifting one eyebrow as he referred to his name. She smiled slightly.

"I'm sorry, sir, but he's with somebody right now. If you'd like, you may take a seat and wait for him to finish. Or, you can leave your phone number and I can give you a call when he is ready to see you. Your choice," she said softly, removing her glasses and placing them on the desktop in front of her.

Captain Andrews, awaiting a response from Captain Mattias, swiftly replied to the newest e-mail in his inbox.

To: VAmperial Counter-Terrorist Company

To Whom It May Concern:

Sir, before approving your entrance into Ghillie on an operation, I first have to confirm that your company is in no way attached or directly associated with the Lynion Armed Forces. As I've already informed many, I cannot be responsible for the actions of the PMCs I am hiring, and the potential for screw-up goes through the roof when the government is involved. Please let me know as soon as possible.

Phoenix handed the woman his card and told him that he would be waiting outside until Captain Andrews became available.

Dear Captain Andrews,
It has come to our attention that you are in dire needs of the services of PMCs. We are here to offer you whatever you need in as quick a time as possible. Everything is negotiable and we are able to provide whatever services you need. From basic guard duty to covert assasinations Silent Death can do everything quickly, quietly, and efficently. Please reply ASAP.

Ghillie Airport

A series of ex-Adenian Aeronautical Service Hercules C-130H's powered through the air, carrying the advance guard that would soon make up the Ghillie Operations Squadron. Following a sharp turn in formation, the planes continued their column formation and landed together, maintaining a strictly military composure as they sharply curved in the final stages of landing.

Rolling to the ramps designated to them, the aircraft were soon unloading their cargo - OshKosh transporters, Bedford lorries, Saxon APCs and Land Rovers, ready to set up the encampments for the troops. Whistling through the city, the convoy stopped for nothing, the 4-tonne Land Rovers roaring through streets ahead and to the side, with the Saxon APCs leading and following the convoy, their drab green "camouflage" blatent to all that something major was passing through. The blue lights on the Saxon, coupled with it's notable horn forced traffic aside as it made it's way through the city.

Within 24 hours, several more convoys would have arrived, and over 700 men would be busy preparing the garrison buildings for the arrivals.

The Adenian Airways flight touched down in Ghillie - chartered for this purpose, the BAe 146 offered ample room for the CEO and his entourage. His convoy was waiting - his personal transport, a Mercedes Benz C320 flanked by GL500s - all stamped with the Brittanican Security Solutions logo, and staffed by uniformed drivers. They began the journey through Ghillie, the Captain's Office already informed of their arrival. As they drove, Land Rover Patrollers joined their party, forging a path through the traffic.

Making his way into the Office of the Captain, he approached the secretary and quietly advised her of who he was and his intention to see the captain.

The secretary at the front desk gave Mattias the once-over, and after a few moments of speaking with Captain Andrews over the interphone, waved him into the elevator behind her. The elevator ride was quick, taking Mattias to the eleventh floor, where Andrews' office overlooked the city.

OOC: I thought I was in the Southwest. I'm assuming your remaining officers have areas where they can regroup?

Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Holy Office of the High Lord
We have thought over your words, and we asked the soldiers themselves what they want.

They want the honour of battle. Surely you cannot deny that request? Our warriors are courageous. They do not fear death.

Inbound to Ghillie International Airport

Commander Jaxson looked up from his PDA as he looked around at his 52 men standing by ready for the drop off. It wasn't the most exciting work but alot of them were hoping they were going to be deployed in the Pacific Jin Threate. However, they had a job to do and this was as important as any others. They were the Black Hand and now they were going to approve it...beep...beep went his PDA.

To: Vamperial Counter-Terrorist Company

To Whom It May Concern:

Sir, before approving your entrance into Ghillie on an operation, I first have to confirm that your company is in no way attached or directly associated with the Lynion Armed Forces.

To Captain Andrews,

Let me make it more clear because it seems I made a mistake last time. The actual name is the Dark Knights and we are the Black Hand of operations or better known as Mercenaries. We have nothing to do with the Lynion Vamperial Forces we are more of Mercenaries but with wider operations. We have no name tag, we only have Code Names and we do what the military can't do.

Is that enough? Or do you require more information?

Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Holy Office of the High Lord
We have thought over your words, and we asked the soldiers themselves what they want.

They want the honour of battle. Surely you cannot deny that request? Our warriors are courageous. They do not fear death.

I should point out that to Sniper Country the fact that your warriors don't fear death or want the honour of battle are not the issues. Unlike SparrowHawk and Brittanican Security Sevices, which are both PMC's (Private Military Companies - Armies for hire, essentially), you are requesting to deploy forces from your national army, something that, in the eyes of the international community and possibly Sniper Country himself, could be seen as an act of war.

But because it is you who made the request, we can come as a peacekeeping force.
IF you agree to it, as a representative of your government, then we can deploy our forces without fear of retaliation from the international community.

I think the point is AM that Sniper Country doesn't want national armies ariving on his doorstep, whatever their intentions. I think he's expecting PMC's and Mercenaries, like SparrowHawk ExOps, BSS & the Dark Knights.

OOC: All right... so what if my government sets up a PMC, puts soldiers in it, nationalizes the company and sends that in instead?
