OOC: Ok, for anyone who wants to join, a summary:
As the Open Circle insurgents hole themselves up in the subway system, various nations offer aid to Anemos Major and soon, their anthrax is taken away. As they are slowly destroyed, however, the nation of Hurfdurfistan offers to help the OCF, thus creating a state of war between Anemos and Hurfdurfistan. What will happen?

One year ago:
It was a cold day. That was all the policeman could think as he stood outside Central 2 Subway station, glum. Today was supposed to be a festival day, but a terrorist cell had threatned to use anthrax inside the capital and so the police had forced everyone to remain in their homes until further notice was given. The wind blew, and the policeman reached instinctively for his pocket, reaching for a smoke.

And then he died. A knife snaked across his neck and he fell to the ground, gurgling. Blood was pooling on the ground as a black-clad man walked into the station, and a few moments later, more black-clad men ran out of the station, armed with RPG-7s.

"We are the Open Circle Federation!" The man's face appeared on all the major news channels of Anemos Major, and families gathered around their televisions in fear, hanging onto every word said. "Today, we must rise up against the oppression that the monarchy of Anemos Major has pressed upon us for the past thousand years! Today we march for our independence!"

"Send in the police CT unit! It's pretty simple, is it not?" The aide to the Internal Minister murmured "My Lord, it's not that simple. These terrorists are armed! Reports say they've taken over Junction A45 and they've got a BMP-3 up there! And a pair of Stingers, as well as an indetermined number of RPGs! We should call the Armed Forces in, My Lord, or at least the Internal Army!" The Internal Minister scoffed, and shouted "I said send in the Police CT unit! This will be over in moments!"

It was. The CT unit was to insert 400 meters away by helicopter, then use the abandoned cars as cover, sneak up on the Open Circle men and kill them before they could do anything. However, the helicopters had been noticed and the first one went down, struck by a Stinger missile. The second managed to land and escape, and the twelve CT troops immediately ran for cover. But they were too late. The Open Circle men had already set up three RPK-74 LMGs and they fired immediately, shredding the bodies of the troops.

The same thing happened thrice as the police desperately tried to dislodge the terrorists, but it was to no avail. For a moment, it looked as if Anemos City was doomed but then things began to go well. The High Lord's Own 5th Guard had reconned Central 2, whilst a military satellite had taken images of Junction A45 and there was no sign of an anthrax container. Immediately, the 5th Guard, in conjunction with the 7th Anemos City Armoured Division, had taken back the station, then moved onto Junction A45 next door and surrounded the terrorists, using a long range Hellfire missile from a RAH-66 Comanche to take out the BMP-3 and then Leclerc tanks of the Internal Army took over, rolling across the sea of abandoned cars towards their targets. After a few moments of combat, the Open Circle men surrendered.

They were killed.

Present Day Anemos Major.

It was the same festival day again, and on the news rolled a single message.

"OPEN CIRCLE FEDERATION RETURNS!" The Open Circle had taken over the entire subways system this time, using over 2000 armed men and a few armoured vehicles on the tracks. Nobody knew how many more Open Circle members there were, and various purchase records showed that the Open Circle had remedied their last mistake.

This time, they had anthrax. A lot of it.

A Knightpolice Knightmare Frame(http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Knight_Police) rolled down the road, looking around for dissidents and behind it, a large group of armed policemen ran towards the subway station, taking positions outside. They aimed their collection of IFAM-AR4C Carbines and AR-94 Assault rifles at the entrance and waited. Around all of Anemos City, similar scenes were unfolding, however, it wasn't force that was necesarry, it was stealth, and because SO-TACCOM (Special Operations Tactical Command) of the Armed Forces was on combat exercises in Arithea Island, they had no special operation capabilities except for the Knightpolice SWAT unit and the Inquisition, which wasn't enough to take 2,000+ men by surprise. No, to get through the day alive, Anemos Major would need help.

Lots of it.

"How does a weeks of R&R sound like?" asked a part cyborg part vampire as he entered the small train cabin.

"I can smell the beach," replied a werewolf as he turned into his Human form as the forests go past them.

"I'll be interested in seeing my family again," replied the corporal as she removed the clip from her rifle.

"I think I'll be sleeping for the next 48 hours," replied another.

"Sleeping?" smiled the lieutenant. "Stuff sleeping, I'm going into the mountains for some time with my wife,"

"What about you captain?" asked the last man as the train started to come to an end.

"I think, I'll be glad to see my wife and children and be happy of being away from you guys," laughed the captain.

Everyone laughed for a moment as the lieutenant threw a paper clip at him. The laughter stopped as the door to the luxuary cabin was opened by a pilot with a Blackhawk. The platoon knew something was wrong and instead of protesting, they boarded the Blackhawk as their R&R was going to change.

3 hours later, nearly at Anemos Major

A flight of Blackhawk MK 2 were nearly at the airfield as the commander of the operation took a deep breath. The part cyborg stepped up as he addressed the other officers part of the operation.

"For all you new guys out there, my name is Captain Justin Walker," started Justin to his officers as he turned to face them. "Upon landing, we'll be taking part in an operation to bring down a terrorist group. We're not sure about their numbers, but don't expect them to be light,"

"Sounds simple," snotted a nearby Minator as it watched Walker. "Do they know about the demands?"

"It'll be the same damn demands any terrorist group makes," snapped back Justin. "Grant us freedom, money, an escape route and let some of our guys go. However, we're not going to allow them to get away. don't worry about numbers, they're there just to strike fear into us but it won't work," contiuned Justin. "Moment we land, we'll be breifed and then its off to give them a taste of justice,"

"Hooray!" replied the officers.

"This is Blackhawk Mark 2 Flight Beta 5-89," started the pilots voice over the intercom as the doors opened. "Requesting permission to land over,"

The flight of choppers were coming to the outskirts of the city as they prepared to make a quick landing and then head to a nearby air base to be re-fuel and wait for the operation to end. Justin looked out of the chopper as his mechanised legs and toes grip the metal under it.

A SWAT Officer fired from behind a barrier as a detachment of Open Circle troops tried to storm it again, and looking around at his battered troops, he knew it would happen soon. "This is Captain Synias of the Knightpolice SWAT force, requesting aid urgently! We are about to be overrun!" A voice came back, saying "Already there." and the Open Circle troops were blown apart. Synias turned to see a Knightpolice Knightmare, towering over him as it aimed its auto-pistol at the enemy. It raised its shield as one Open Circle soldier came out of the subway, firing his RPG. It made a crater in the shield, but the Knightmare fired back and the soldier was blown apart. As the Knightmare suppressed the enemy, more SWAT officers came to reinforce the troops and the Knightmare rolled away. They would be able to hold for a while, but reports said that the airport had been seized and the Knightpolice Knightmares were needed there. Sighing, Synias aimed his IFAM-AR4C Carbine over the barrier and waited for the next Open Circle bastard to show his head. "Keep taking them down, Knightpolice! The High Lord's own city will never fall under OUR watch! Anemos Major's allies were coming. THey just needed to hold out for a little longer.

"Ohh crap!" shouted the pilot as it suddenly landed. "That was an RPG!"

The choppers landed as the Elite Brigade jumped out towards some cover as the choppers went to better hiding spots. Walker lead the troops down the street as they came across friendly troops. He looked around and then at the nearby buildings.

"Stalkers, with me," shouted Walker. "Ghost and Phantom Squads, get into the buildings and use them for cover and give us support. Nightmare and Hell Squads, flank our position and prepare to engage the enemy!"

The Brigade of 150 men went seperate ways as the Stalkers used cover to advance along the street towards friendly forces. They stopped about 3/4 down the street. Walker looked around as the other men had already gotten into their positions. Phantom and Ghost Squads were already starting to give support as the Stalker Squad managed to link up with the friendlies.

"Vamperial Captain Walker of the 23rd Death Brigade," introduced Walker as his men gave covering fire. "We just landed a few moments ago. How many are there?"

125 GHT police officers moved to there ships. As mission: Help to take out Open Circle terrorists. The enemy forces where with 2000 or more man, the police officers where scared. Scared to die, to not return to there loved wifes.

"The allies of Anemos Major, eh?" The 2iC of the Open Circle troops smirked, then turned to his aide and said "Ask the Commander to send 4000 more men. And remember to hide the entrance route; we don't want them knowing where all our troops come from."

"Captain Walker, get down!" Synias fired a short burst, then ducked as one of his men fired at the entrance with a LAW 'liberated' from the Internal Army. The Open Circle troops ducked, and Synias finally turned to Walker. "Right, we know there's at least three hundred in that station. The situation is terrible; we can't storm it because they have IFVs down there, and they're definitely bringing in more troops. In addition, they might release the anthrax, and if they do we have no hope. We're not the Internal Army, we're only Knightpolice SWAT troops, holding off the enemy until the IA and the Army itself arrives. Word's reached us that a force of Glasgows (http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Glascow) and the new Sutherlands (http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Sutherland) But until then, we're on our own!" Seeing a few Open Circle troops trying to charge, Synias shouted "Orinos, suppress the entrance! Phalance, take them down! Trenosin, where's our sniper support?"

Lieutenant 1st Grade Uzor Kocsis looked down at a picture of his wife for a brief moment as the two Hind-Ds slowly lowered down to the street, their rotor-wash coming over the barricades of Lynion and Anemos Majors’ blockades while the two door-gunners kept a look-out. Then one of the two gunners saw a small swarm of Open Circle terrorists heading for the barricades.

“Tangos on the ground!” Was all the door-gunner yelled.

He opened fire, the distinctive rattling of two RPK machineguns coming from either helicopter.

They set down and the two Genetics came out of their own helicopters with one toting a menacing flamethrower and the other holding an absolutely lethal RPK. Another thing that anybody would be able to notice is that none of the Ursavian troops had exposed skin. They all wore gasmasks, tucked in their pant-legs, tucked in their shirt-sleeves, and wore thick masks to cover everything of the head that the gasmask didn’t protect. Lieutenant 1st Grade Uzor Kocsis tucked away his photo, clutched his Steyr assault-rifle firmly in both hands, and looked around for the leaders of the Lynion and Anemos Major forces in the area.

We have heard of your plight. Terrorists should not be allowed to do these things with the impudence they have. We are more than willing to send in Ghost Platoon. A group of 50 men that are trained in stealth operations against superior forces and have succeded in 9 out of 10 of their missions. The tenth ended up with the enemy nukeing their own city in an attempt to wipe out the platoon. It failed but the city was unfortunatly destroyed but by their own hand. If their aid is needed, feel free to request.

From: The Grand World Order Federal Guard ((OOC: GWO's National-Military police))

We have received your request for help. While the main parts of our nation are under attack by an alliance of communist nations, most of our nation hasn't even been considered for attack.

With the permission granted by the Internal Control Department, we hereby are deploying 2,000 Federal Guardsmen to aid your forces.

In addition, the Special Tactics Force ((OOC: Beyond elite forces of the GWO; Perhaps some of the most skilled troops in NS. Each member is trained from birth to fight and has killed, on average, more than 100 armed people as part of their training)) has agreed to deploy 450 Agents. The Federal Army will assist by deploying 30 Divine Tiger MHBTs and their crews, along with the Marine Corps, who is also deploying 30 Divine Tigers and their crews.

The force will be sent via a small cargo fleet.

(Ga! Whats the point of helping if GWO is sending more troops than the terrorists even have? We could just leave it up to him. lol)

((OOC: But some people might get angry with the Federal Guard/S.T.F.'s method of political cleansing. Therefore, it might become an International Incident.))

(...are you trying to get what's left of your nation destroyed? lol. You're already under attack by one force. Do you want to be obliterated? lol)

((OOC: I'm confident in my own RPing skills and my IC military. I've been under larger invasion attempts before.

"What's left" - Nothing terrible has happened to my nation, and over 90% of it is completely unaffected. The only thing I've lost is a few groups of submarines and some combat aircraft.))

(Mmk. ur death warrant. lol. Now lets stop cluttering up the RP with OOC. lol. Hopefully someone will post to advance the plot soon.)

OOC: Well, the terrorists actually have a lot more troops besides their complement in Anemos City, so...

IC: "Captain Synias!" shouted a soldier as he heard something on his radio.

"Attack helicopters!" Synias swore and replied "Shit! I think Yrensin's squad has a Stinger; get them on comms! Where the hell are those Knightmares!?" Another Open Circle unit set up at the entrance, wielding RTK-74s, and the steady rattle of machineguns drowned all other noise. Synias, firing over the barricade, shouted "Sniper support, now!" Suddenly, a bullet struck his arm and he dropped his rifle, falling against the barricade and clutching his arm. Beside him, another trooper suppressed the enemy with a GPMG as a medic came and dragged him away. The radio-trooper yelled "Our captain is down, repeat, he is down! Requesting urgent medvac and support, over!" A voice yelled back "Dammit, Knightpolice units are tied up everywhere, and the Knightmares are clearing the airport!" For a moment, it looked as though they were doomed but suddenly a very well aimed shot struck the Open Circle machinegunner in the head. He fell back, dead, and Synias muttured "It's a bit late, Trenosin..." However, Trenosin shouted back "Sir, it wasn't me!" Synias looked confused, but then another Open Circle trooper fell and suddenly the loud crackle of assault rifle fire began. Not a single round was wasted, and all the Open CIrcle men were dead within seconds. Looking up, Synias saw a man in a cape, wearing an ornately decorated mask. Looking closer, he saw that the mask was designed to deflect bullets, and he wondered where the soldier was from. The man turned, and Synias saw that the cape was half red, and half black, with the High Lord's crown insignia in the middle. That was all. Normally, a set of stars and symbols would show where the soldier was stationed, but. A strange though struck Synias, and he murmured "Red for the Inqisition, black for the army, and the crown? No, wait, that can't be possible..." The man finally turned, and fingering his sword he spoke.

"I am an Assassin of the High Lord. As of now, I am taking command here. The army is coming, and the Knightmares have just entered the city. ETA is twenty minutes, so until then I want you back up and fighting, Captain. As for you..." The Assassin turned and sized up Captain Walker. "As for you, get your troops moving. I have no jurisdiction over allied forces, but I think that if you fall under my command for now, things will go smoothly."

The Hind attack helicopter flew towards the area, the pilot staring out the window looking for the enemy. Soon, they would be obliterated.

"Ursavans?" Captain Yrin of the Knightpolice 7th Corps ran down the street, firing at the enemy, then jumped behind a barricade, shouting "Tainis, have HQ pinpointed the location of the anthrax yet?" THe soldier shook his head, and Tainis scowled, shouting "GPMG up here! Sniper support is on the way! The Knightpolic Knightmares have finished with the airport, and the Army is on the way, so we'll have support soon!" He flashed a lopsided grin at a Genetic, and said "You'd better find cover if you don't want to die. OK, I think I hear that helo... Yeresin, prep the Stinger!" The Stinger locked on to the helicopter, but then Tainis saw that it was a Knightpolice gunship, a heavily modified UH-1 Iroquois. He shouted "Don't fire the Stinger!" The gunship turned towards the train station, and it began to fire its four chainguns, two missile pods and three underslung Browning .50 cals. The rounds crashed into the Open Circle troops and the entrance collapsed a bit, enough to get in the way of the terrorists. The Knightpolice cheered, then set their sights on the entrance, waiting for the enemy to move. Anemos City would not fall under the watch of the Knightpolice.


To: Mt Id forces. The Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Emergency Command.
Your help is gladly accepted. Further information will be given upon arrival. The High Lord be with you.

To: GWO forces. THe Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Emergency Command
Your help is gladly accepted, but we doubt you can insert 2000 soldiers yet. The Yurisin Internation Airport's runways were bombed and destroyed by the Open Circle Federation, and the enemy have stationed Shiika antiaircraft vehicles across the city. Please attempt to send a force of 200 by helicopter at the coordinates we send, and if that suceeds then continued landing operations.

"Sounds like they're bogged down," replied Walker as he noticed his men were already in position. "Minators! Get some barricades down near the enterance. Phantom and Ghost Squads, prepare for any more moves they might make,"

Walker stood up for a moment as he noticed that everything was going to be fine for the moment. He watched as four minators flipped a car over to its side and set a small charge to it as they placed it next to the enterance. It was typical tactics. Make a barricade for the enemy and when they appear, blow it up while killing everyone else.

The Assassin walked up to Captain Synias, and said "Well, Captain. Well done. Now get to the medvac unit, we can't afford to lose a man like you." He turned to Walker and continued "Sorry about my abruptness. It's quite strange, going from a crack unit to become part of the command structure. If I were you, I'd go to Lieutenant Vyrinian over there, and get some barricades off him. He's the engineer chief over here, apparently. Now, the Knightpolice Knightmares are on the way, they should be here soon."

Captain Yrin watched the Hind helicopter appear from above the building, and shouted "Get down!" It raked the ground with its chain gun, hitting a soldier and shearing his leg off, and Yrin screamed "MEDIC! Yeresin, Stinger, now!" The Hind was about to fire again when the missile crashed into its cockpit, and the behemoth fell to the ground, exploding. Yrin breathed a sigh of relief, and watched the entrance. Where were those bloody terrorists?

"Their actions are useless..." muttured the Open Circle 2iC, and he asked one of his troops "The aircraft squad is ready?" The soldier nodded, and the 2iC smiled. Soon, the battle would turn in their favour.

Walker jumped behind a burning car as he watched the chopper burn.

"Don't worry about the Minator's," replied Walker as he took a shot of blood from his flask. "Those guys will use whatever they find to make traps and barricades. Now how do we intend to get this guys out of the subway?"

"Simply enough, we can't. Someone needs to determine the location of the Anthrax, and unfortunately us Assassins can't do that if the Open Circle rebels are everywhere. Someone needs to clear one of the stations, and do it quietly. As for the Army, they should be here by now..." One Knightpolice trooper shouted "Enemy attack!" as bullets flew across the air, and the Assassin cursed and told Walker "I'll explain later." He flicked a knife at one of the terrorists, and it embedded itself in his head. He quickly continued, destroying the enemy as quickly as possible, but they were attacking with more troops now. The Assassin guessed that they had been reinforced, and he shouted "Knightpolice stand firm!" as he began to fire. They would be overrun soon if there wasn't help...

The wall was suddenly pockmarked with bullet holes, and the Knightpolice turned to see an Army Knightmare, a Glasgow type, armed with an anti-personnel machinegun under its cockpit block. It was smoking, and the Open Circle troops took cover as the Glasgow raised its assault rifle. It fired off a few rounds, and the wall shattered under the impact, killing some terrorists. They fled down the stairs, and the Glasgow turned, moving out.

Lieutenant 1st Grade Uzor Kocsis looked around as a stream of flame curled towards the entrance and a sole Open Circle terrorist came out wabing his arms as fire consumed his body. Then the second Genetic took aim with his RPK and opened fire, cutting the man down. His body continued to burned as it lay in the streets and he was slowly eaten away at by the burning napalm. Uzor proceeded to duck low and practically sprint from one barricade to another, recieving a poorly-aimed shot in his direction from the entrance of the subway that buried in the road. He came up by the assassin who had said he'd be in command as the Ursavian helicopters peeled away to get more fuel and ammo from the nearest airbase.

"We've got something we could deploy in the subway." Uzor said, looking at the man in the ballistics mask.

OOc: You don't understand. You can't deploy ANYTHING against terrorists who have anthrax in a heavily populated city.

IC: The 76th Intelligence Corps was a unit attached to the High Lord's Personal Bodyguard. Formed in the 1970s as a part of the intelligence initiative headed by the Reimis administration, and it was unique in that it hadn't been immediately deactivated by Ilfir Erenthi III's administration. At this moment, they were holed up in the Palace, coordinating with Knightpolice detachments to try and determine the location of the anthrax, and so far, they were unsucessful. And it was quite obvious they were ruuning out of time. One of the troops suddenly turned to his superior and murmured "My lord, I think you're going to have to see this..."

OOC: What I mean is an unexpected counter-release of something...less human. I mean like mustard-gas in the ventilation systems of the subway. They can't release the anthrax if it's releasing switch is hidden in a cloud of lethal gas that doesn't even need to be inhaled to kill you.

"Hey there, Cap. Hows you vacation?" A soldier said to Lieutenant Horum who they all affectionatly called 'Cap' because they all knew he would never make it to Captain, and nor did he want to be. He was the commanding officer of the Mt. Idian Elite platoon. Otherwise known as the Ghost Platoon.
Horum just grunted. "Vacation? This is more like a tropical paradise to me. This is all I'd want to do."
The entire Platoon was currently on a rigorous training mission in the mountains using their stealthy operation to defeat an entire batallion of Mt. Id regular troops guarding an outpost. Suddenly, Horum's radio crackled to life.
Base: "Lieutenat Horum, this is base. Come in."
"Damn it...I told them not to radio me on this!"
Horum: "What is is base?"
Base: "You have a new mission. Terrorists in a nation that needs help."
Horum smiled. This was better than he'd expected.
Horum: "Roger that. Be in the helicoptors in minutes. Over and out."
"Allright men, back to camp. I want us packed up and gone five minutes ago. Move!"
The entire platoon returned to their camp and were onboard their helicoptors in minutes. Once airborn, they were transported directly to the airport where they boarded military transport craft that would take them over Anemos Major and air drop them into the city.
----------
Not to much later, the transport craft were radioing Anemos Major saying We have the presents. Dropping....now and the platoon jumped out of the back of the plane, opened their chutes, and dropped down near where the Anemos Major police were but far enough back that the terrorists couldn't see them.

No problem, we were planning to do the deployment with a small fleet of cargo ships. However, we will deploy the Special Tactics Force Agents beforehand via Hippopotamus-class helicopters escorted by fighters. They should be arriving promptly.

Near Anemos Major

A fleet of giant helicopters swarmed the sky, escorted by a small group of F-23s. Inside of each helicopter was a group of S.T.F. Agents. Each Agent was estimated to have already killed 100 armed people in training; part of the 20-year S.T.F. training program includes a two-month live-fire wargame in Uranium Province. Out of 25,000 birth-trained soldiers going in, only 250 come out on average.

"Anemos Major, GWO flight group sieben swie, loaded up with Sierra Tango Foxtrot personnel. Requesting LZ coordinates, uber."

OOC: Sorry for the long pause, I was not able to connect for a while. Plus, we need a useable subway, and using mustard gas in the capital?
IC: The 4th Army troops patrolled the airport, and a captain radioed the GWO troops, saying "This is 4th Army Captain Sevren speaking, you have been cleared to land at runway 6, Erenthi International Airport." He paused, then added "Welcome to Anemos, boys. It's going to be a rough ride."

"FIRE!" The Knightpolicemen opened fire on the Open Circle insurgents sneaking up on them, and Synias shouted to Captain Walker "I need your men to charge the entrance! They're setting up an MG post and a Milan AT launcher over there!"

OOC: What about Kocsis? You know, the third commanding figure there. lol.

The assassin watched the carnage, and looking at him it seemed as though he was smiling, looking at his enemies die. Eventually he turned to Koscis, and said "Look, keep the mustard gas for later. We are configuring the ventilation systems just in case, but we can't use it just yet. The 76th Intelligence Corps has reported a large number of troops entering the city via the subway exits in the suburbs, and we've sent troops to block them off but they've still got men down there. No, what we need to do is storm one of the stations quickly, pretend that we're the Open Circle troops and start from there. I'd be pleased if your men could burn their way in, and secure the area. We've got the army with us now, so the city is pretty much secure."

"This one?" Asked Lieutenant 1st Grade Uzor Kocsis asked, pointing to the stairwell.

He then looked in that direction, then to the flamethrower-toting Genetic nearby.

"Yeah, we could probably do that if we had rear support." Uzoe said, watching as Open Circle members were cut down.

He then looked back the assassin, waiting to see what he would sat about what needed to happen. While doing so, he popped from behind cover and fired off a burst in to an Open Circle soldier as he tried to come up the stairs and attack the blockading force.

"Rear support?" The assassin thre a knife into an Open Circle insurgent toting an AKS-74U, and he fired once with his HK Mk. 23 SOCOM, knocking the body down the stairwell. He shouted "Captain Synias, get me the 7th Army and a secure channel to the airforce! Now!" Synias ran to his communications officer, and the Assassin policed an AN-94 assault rifle from a dead Mtropolitan Policeman, firing at anyone who dared to climb the stairs with unnerving accuracy. He pulled something out of his equipment satchel. It seemed to be a thin slab of metal, and the assassin smiled as he said "Voice assimilator. Now all we need to do is get the name of their commanding figure in this station and his voice. Tell me... Koscis."

"Can you take command here while I go and get his voice?"

We believe that it would be mutually beneficial if we lend a hand in wiping up these filth who dare to defile the name of our great land. These terrorist scum shall plague you no longer. Our men are ready to assist you. We can send a small detatchment of 2000 fully equipped spec ops teams. You tell us where the best target is. These squads are made up of a sniper, a demo-man, a Heavy machine gunner, an assault rifle man and a shotgun man. Their support consists of a Scout UAV and a Global Hawk UAV per team. They will be stealth inserted into enemy territory and wreak havoc. For open spaces we can offer you some of our "bigger guns" in the form of a mark XXII Bolo.

To: The Inquisitorius.
From: The Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Holy Office of War.

We acknowledge your offer of help, and gladly accept; however, there are a few points that must be clarified.

First, where will your UAVs be stored and who will perform maintenance on them? We use Global Hawks, but only at Uirsin, Oronnin and Tyronin naval citadels, and we don't have the facilities for Scout UAVs anywhere in Anemos.

Secondly, we cannot accept artillery units in our capital, even under supervision. However we will provide you with T62 tanks from the Internal Army's IV Armoured (four tanks) for support.

Upon arrival, please contact Captain Kyron of the 7th Guard Regiment, who will accompany you to your positions.

Anemos City, 6pm. The situation was tense, and Captain Synias sat, his rifle propped up against him as he slept. Both sides had decided to take a break, and the Assassin waited for Koscis to answer him. A pair of Glasgow type Knightmares stood, their rifles aimed at the entrance and behind it stood a Sutherland, armed with an antipersonnel rifle. And beside various street corners stood Glasgows, ready to open fire at any time. The situation was under control; the question was, for how long?

To: The Holy Empire of Aenemos Major
From: The Inquisitorius

We will land in 3 months. It will take time to configure one of our "Nightblade" class submersible aircraft carriers to have the necessary facilities to support the advanced squadron. It can refuel and repair the UAV's as well as hold 2 Mark XXII Bolo's. We will contact Captain Kyron 2 days before landing.

The Holy Empire has accepted your offer, but are wary; therefore, we are keeping one FLEIJA class hyper-enhanced nuclear weapon on you at all times. Do not attempt an internal takeover, lest you be destroyed.

To: The Holy Empire of Aenemos Major
From: The Inquisitorius

Though we are disturbed at your impertinence, we accept your terms. As your intelligence corps are already investigating the terrorists, we will only send in the manpower. They are designed for being inside enemy lines. Your men will be relieved soon.

OOC: Sorry for not posting for a while...
IC:

The 125 police officers finaly arrived. They all run out of the ship, talking and scared...
All 125 had got a pack of high attack level. A SS-MG-One hand Combat Machine Gun, a mp5, a 9mm and a 55-SS-44 semi-auto machine gun. For every weapon, the ships brought around 750 bullets each man. This woud all be used to fight terrorists...

Ghost platoon had landed and their leader was looking for the commanding Officer of the defending forces.

Captain Synias, after talking to his communications officer, walked over to the Assassin and asked him "My Lord, the enemy is beginning to move..."

Commander Yzrin of the Anemos Major 5th Armoured stepped forwards, saluting the Mt Id commander and saying "Welcome to Anemos Major. Please follow us." He then climbed onto his Leclerc tank and waited for the Mt Id troops.

Lieutanent Horum returned the salute and called to his men. The formed up behind the tank and followed them.

The man in command of the ISS 2nd Company, Number 47, has located Captain Kyron of the 7th Guard Regiment and is waiting for orders. The men of the 2nd Company are familiarising themselves with the common materials in their area of combat.

Captain Kyron turned to the ISS commander and saluted him, murmuring "Nice to have our Empire helping out at last. The enemy have holed themselves up in the subway, and we've got a plan... Follow us, it's going to be a long ride..."

Yzrin watched Knightpolice Knightmares roll through the streets, and wondered exactly how the Open Circle terrorists had managed to take a whole city hostage. He sighed and radioed Lieutenant Horum, murmuring "Sir, please wait a second; the 7th Guard will supply trucks for your men. Meanwhile, I think it would be a good idea for you to familiarize yourself with the area."

The Assassin quietly slipped through the ventilation tunnel, holding the recording machine in one hand and a grenade in the other in case things went wrong. The Lynion commanders hadn't given their opinion, waiting for their leader's acceptance, and so the Assassin had decided to take action on his own.

"It seems simple enough," replied the Vamperial Knight commander as they listened to the plan. "Just one question, if you drop a grenade into the subway, wouldn't the explosion be compact thus it can kill anything in its path?"

Synias smiled, and replied "And the enemy would probably hear it over the intercom. No, we have to make it seem as though nothing's happened, unfortunately."

"Why don't we besiege them? Block off all exists, halt all supplies going in there, halt the subway system, block anything that can get in there and wait a day to get them weaker and go in?" asked the Vamperial Commander.

(are the mt. id forces anywhere near this conversation? I would like to join in. lol)

Agent 869 of the ISS appeared out of the shadows near the speakers.

"No. That would not do at all. Our men have 'noticed' as I am sure yours have, there are more and more of the terrorists. Either you were so grossly stupid and blind as not to have seen the reinforcements or they have another way to get men in. Blocking off the entrances will achieve nothing if the enemy has even one working pathway into the subway system. We must not even think about besieging them until we have found out this final tunnel or tunnels."

And with that, he melted back into the shadows and was gone.

The Assassin stepped out of the ventilation duct and smiled. "Nobody can read the High Lord's thoughts. As of now, he has issued Command II-670-20045, which means that The Inquisitorius's forces will move to the tunnels outside the city which connect the subway to the countryside train system, supported by fourteen Knightpolice Knightmares. As for us, we will gear up. I've managed to take the voice of their commander and his name, and all we need to do is bring in forces to eliminate them. For that, I believe we have Lynion, Ursava, Anemos and..." A tanks roared by, followed by trucks and the Assassin finished "Mt Id. Well then, it seems as if we're ready."

Horum walked up to the group and only heard the last few words. "Ready for what exactly?"

"Ah. Of course. Sir, if you'd kindly move your forces to the entrance of this station, we'd be pleased. We are about to push these insurgents out of Anemos Rei... Anemos City to you, I guess, anyways, we're about to push them out. The Inquisitorius, kindly move your forces outside town. You should get there within half an hour by helicopter."

OOC: BTW, who is going to continue playing NS after NS2 is released? Personally I think the pay-to-be-better idea isn't good, and therefore I would play NS1 but...

Plus, the forums are so much better.

Bump.

My men are in position and ready. I am still waiting on the contingent from you.

Lieutenant Horum passed the orders on to his men and they began to take up positions around the entrance, ready when needed. "Allright, we're all set. What's next?"

"All right Horum. Let's see if the soldiers of Mt Id are as strong as they say. We will storm the station in four minutes, so we must strike at the same time. The 45th Intelligence Corps has found the ANthrax and are working on it now. The estimated extraction time is four minutes, so when the anthrax is gone is when we'll strike."

Horum saluted and went over to his men. They were all doing the final checks on their array of weaponry. They were ready.

"This is Command Unit-023 of the Holy Empire of Anemos Major to all units. Operation Shadowstorm is active in 3, 2, 1..." The Anemonian Knightpolicemen watched the entrance, waiting for the last digit to come and as soldiers ran by, the Assassin seemed to hear something in his intercom and smiled.

"Zero. Operation Shadowstorm is active. Lieutenant Horum, move in. Synias, after me. The Inquisitorian troops will storm the tunnels supported by fourteen Knightmare Frames. Horum, could you help us get forty Knightmares through that supply tunnel there after the assault? We're ready for all out war."

"The anthrax is gone."

Horum began giving out hand signals and the highly trained Ghost Platoon began their assault using fire and maneuver tactics, one squad covering while another squad moved.

Anemos Major Airport

The Hippo-class helicopters were landing; As soon as they touched down and "parked", the black-clad S.T.F. Agents piled out of them. Each one quickly got organized. They had a small amount of 1940's BMW-style motorcycles and sidecars with them as well.

Anyone close and observant enough would notice a striking feature about the Agents; Most of them had either a Swastika, Fasces Lictorae, or Vichy Sword (Along with non-training kill-tallies) carved crudely into their helmets as part of S.T.F. culture. These, along with the Iron Crosses stamped in during production (As part of the S.T.F.'s emblem) clearly showed what political ideals they had.

The Battalion Major had a balaclava and a beret on his head. An Iron Cross on an Oak Leaf appeared on the pin put into his beret, as well as the ones on his collar. Most of the other Agents had Stahlhelms or Pickelhaubes on their heads, and officers wearing both types of helmets had dominant spikes erecting from the top of their headwear. Their gas masks had red, "eagle eye" designs for lenses. This normally would limit their vision, but the lenses were digital, just like the Army and Marine Corps AGMOED masks. Their uniforms were black and dark gray, and just seeing them would make most people feel depressed, scared, awe-struck, or all three.

The Knightpolicemen watched as their allies moved out, and Synias, reloading his IFAM-AR4C, murmured "Assault pattern delta." He then silently walked to the entrance of the station, followed by his troops and the Assassin, and he pulled a fragmentation grenade out of his satchel.

"Follow me men" Cried 49 Commander of the opperations in tunnel 6. "Follow me to glory!"
Their knightmare was destroyed, hit by 5 anti-tank rocket launchers at the same time. "We are into the front line" Radioed back 607, commander of the advance group. 49 could only hope the assault was going better in the other tunnels.

"This is Captain Syrveron of the Anemonian Army 7th Knightmare Division! We have just inserted five Sutherland-types into Outskirt Tunnel 17, and are commencing the cleanup of the enemy!" The lead Sutherland opened its factsphere sensor as it rolled down the tunnel, and caught of a BMP-2 AFV waiting for them. It fired its grenade launcher, and the BMP-2 was jerked backwards as the massive grenade smashed into it. A group of soldiers tried to fire back, but the Sutherlands simply deployed their anti-personnel machineguns and as the assault rifle rounds were deflected off the Knightmares, the 4 metre tall weapons simply raked the ground with the guns, killing the soldiers. The plan was going relatively well...

Anemos Rei International Airport.
The Anemonian officer looked at the S.T.F. agents with relative distaste, then donned his combat mask and visor and walked up to them in his full battle gear. "Good day... The operation has started, please follow me."

The platoon eventually encountered resistance in the surprising form of a land mine. One soldier was walking ahead of the others on point when he felt his foot step on something. It was a pressure mine. His foot came up and the mine exploded, but it seemed to be a dud. All that happened was a slight searing of the soldiers foot from heat. The soldier let loose a sigh of relief seconds before he was mowed down by a sustained blast from an automatic weapon. "Get down!" Horum called as the troops scrambled for cover and began returning fire. He then radioed back to Anemos Major HQ reporting their first contact with the enemy.

The Knightpolicemen rushed forwards, spraying fire towards the Open Circle insurgents and Synias yelled "Minesweeper!" From behind there was some clattering and then Anemonian troops charged in, with a pair of engineers holding minesweepers. Suppressing the enemy with GPMGs, they ran to the other side, and taking positions behind the wall, began to open fire. An officer walked by, cocking his Glock Model 20, and spraying a burst of fire down the hallway, he said "I'm Major Yrkl Ragnos, 7th Anemonian Army, 4th Division, 2nd Division, 3rd Battalion, 1st Company. I've also got a lot of troops outside, and have been ordered to take this subway station."

(uh...you talking to my guys?)

Anemos Major Airport

The S.T.F. Agents followed in an extremely disciplined fashion. The helicopters lifted off and vanished off in the distance after they were unloaded of equipment and personnel.

OOC: Both yours and mine. Remember, we're all attacking the same station.

"Section B, supress that machinegunner! Fyrkis, was it? I want you to snipe him!" Major Ragnos sighed as he reloaded his gun, and continued firing. "Somebody toss a grenade, for god's sake!"

The Anemonian officer was about to show the STF agents to their helicopter when a gunshot rang out, and he slumped to the ground, dead. About a hundred Open Circle insurgents, armed with M4 Carbines. The charged into facility, and BMP-2s followed them. And all that remained to stop them was the STF agents...

Horum nodded. "I'm Lieutenant Horum, commanding officer of the Mt. Id Ghost Platoon. Glad to have the reinforcements. Hold on a sec." He said and loaded an RPG into his rifle. "Fire in the hole!" He yelled and launched the projectile at the enemy positions.

Ragnos nodded and said "Normally this would be very irresponsible, but I want to join in the explosions. Lieutenant Irydor, AT-4?" The Lieutenant wordlessly came along, hoisting an anti-tank rocket launcher, and loading an HE round, he fired it down the hall, culminating in a massive explosion. Irydor shook his head in resignation, murmuring "They think they can stay down there for ever... but..."

The ground shook as the anti-tank weapon flew down the corridor. "Are you an idiot?" Horum yelled in near panic. "That thing coulda brought the roof down on top of us!"

Ragnos shook his head and replied "That was an HE. The subway is reinforced so it can be used as a bunker, and the Assassin has confirmed that there an MG nest somewhere down here. We want to lure the bastard out, so we can...umm...nail him with our marksman back here. Of course, if that doesn't work then the Knightmares in the tunnel will, but that's a last resort. Anyways..."

Hurfdurfistani Military High Command, Hurfdurfistan City, Hurfdurfistan

"In other news, Anemos Major is, yet again, under attack by the 'Open Circle Federation', a group of reactionaries opposed to Anemos Major's monarchist government. HBN is given to understand that this has happened before, but that the key difference between the two events is the international involvement in quelling this latest uprising.

It is unknown just how large the Open Circle Federation is, but given the number of soldiers deployed at the site, one imagines that this potential revolution, like the one before, will be smothered before it has a chance to take hold."

The image on the television froze as Secretary of State Everett Moore paused the recording, cleared his throat, then spoke,

"Comrades, I'm sure you're all aware of the situation in Anemos Major. Now, as the video mentioned, and as your briefings state, this is the second such attempt at freedom by this... "Open Circle Federation". Now, what it doesn't state, but what we've picked up via satellite surveillance, is that Anemos Major's monarchy has some pretty powerful friends. The Grand World Order among them," Moore paused to allow the murmurs that simply dropping the nation's name caused, "We have no personal stake in this conflict. It is not, frankly, our problem. But I'm sure we are all aware of how the GWO treats its prisoners. If only for humanitarian purposes, it is our duty to intervene. I've already taken the liberty of proposing military action to the Council, and they unanimously supported the idea. So the only real question posed to the Joint Forces Committee is just what kind of action we're going to take. With that said, I hand this over to Mr. Garrett, here representing the Foreign Intelligence Service..."

Hours later, the committee had come to a conclusion. Agents in Anemos Major would move to contact the Open Circle Federation while an admittedly convenient nearby carrier group engaged in exercises received several units of special forces by helicopter. If all went well, the OCF would welcome foreign intervention, the special forces would move in by night and solidify the OCF's position, and the groundwork would be laid for a larger force to assist in what had the potential to be a true revolution.

Off the coast of Savronin Military Fortress, Anemos Major 7th Intelligence Division Naval Headquarters.

"Lord Myrkinin, we've intercepted a transmission from Captain Yrosdin in Hurfdurfistan. He believes they intend to invade Anemos Major." Myrkinin nodded and said "Good. THe Open Circle Federation is almost crushed, and the enemy has finally shown itself. Bring this information to military command, get them to activate all reservists and the Internal Army. We should be ready for full blown war in three day, and have our entire army within a week."

"In the name of the High Lord. Meur, styrwei.

OOC: Anemos, if we're gonna have a full-scale war, do you have a map of your country?

Anemos Major Airport

"Oh-ho-ho-ho, I'm going to gut you like Cornish game hens..."

The Agents were quickly to respond. Seemingly in one simultaneous motion, the Agents were already firing hordes of projectiles of munitions at the hostiles. The Agents with FSIAAS shotguns (Which were very similar to the AA-12 shotgun in terms of performance) moved to the front before letting off full-auto streams of "Frag-12" explosive shells at the targets.

Most of the S.T.F. snipers were armed with anti-material rifles; such weapons would be devastating against the BMPs, especially when RT-20s (20X110mm rifle in RL made by Croatia) or EASR-L150s loaded with Raufoss high-explosive .50 caliber rounds would be utilized.

The M4s would have trouble with penetrating the S.T.F.'s armor. Below the platecarrying vests and exterior armor, each Agent had a GIPU counterballistics-gel undersuit, and on top of that, a titanium link chainmail-esque suit.

Of course, the Agents weren't invincible. Five of them would be killed or wounded in the first minute of the surprise attack.

(...FT much? lol. Plus, ur soldiers would be heavily weighed down by all that crap)

(...FT much? lol. Plus, ur soldiers would be heavily weighed down by all that crap)

((OOC: It's tried and true RL armor. The gel system is being produced by the Natick Soldier Center in New England, and the titanium design obviously is based off of medieval chain mail. Titanium also weighs less than steel or iron, which is what the knights back then wore. The gel weighs hardly anything. Platecarrier vests are used by the US military and numerous law enforcement agencies across the civilized world. Besides; after about 20 years of physical conditioning and combat training, don't you think they'd be able to carry that stuff?))

OOC: Kk. IOt looks like I'm going to have a war, so I guess heavy armour is an option. Mt Id, GWO, I'd be pleased if you could send some more aid. I believe The Inquisitorius is mobilising, and since 24 NS hours have definitely passed since the mobilization order was given, I have at least 8,000 of my 37,500 tanks, and 20,000 regular infantrymen as well as 20 artillery batteries, 1,450 Internal Army aircraft, and 800,000 Internal Army Reservists.
IC: The High Lord looked over the report, and, sighing, he said "If there is no other way to keep them out, then I authorize full military mobilization. And the fact that you have come to me means there isn't. Get the Citadel fleets moving, get Strategic Nuclear Command to arm the tactical nuclear weapons and warn Mayaqoo to break open her stocks of chemical weapons. As for us, as of now, our entire army is on DEFCON 1, gentlemen. The Savronin 82nd have pulled back all thei XB-52PMSs from Northam-York, and the fleet is creating a half moon defensive circular line, while the carriers stay reasonably back, so that they can launch aircraft into both the mainland and to sea. The Mistral classes have also been reactivated, I believe, and they are being loaded with B1B Lancers. The civillians were to be evacuated, but instead they have taken up arms, all of them save two-hundred, and they are awaiting orders. The coastal railguns and VLMS system have been armed, and the 1st through 8th Armies of Anemos Major are ready. Mayaqoo has fully mobilised, and The Inquisitorius is doing so. The airforce has already been on quite a few sorties, and they are fully prepared, with a grand total of 6,100 fighters, 464 bombers and 24,900 attack helicopters. In addition, the GWO and Mt Id are on our side, at least, I hope they are. On the other hand, although the Open Circle is about to be well and truly crushed, our foe is huge. We believe that their army is much like that of The Inquisitorius; mostly badly trained and equipped regulars and conscripts, save a few detachments of highly trained special forces. What they don't have, however..."

"... are Knightmares."

In the station, Major Ragnos and Synias gunned their way through a crowd of fleeing insurgents, and Ragnos turned to Hroum, muttering "I told you so." as he gunned down a pair of men carrying a Browning 50. cal. When they had all gone into the depths of the station, Ragnos turned to Horum and said "Look, I just got a transmission telling me that Anemos Major is about to be attacked. If you want to, you can leave before it begins, because if it does, then you won't be able to leave and your men may die in the fighting."

((OOC: GWO doesn't know about the invasion ICly. Plus, I'm fighting an invasion from UWR. However, I'll be able to deploy more troops once GWO ICly knows about it. Of course, despite my current war, I can deploy over a million troops and only barely compromise national security.

Also, STF picture: http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd143/Mr_Flylice/stfagents.jpg))

OOC: My total armed forces size minus outside logistics battalions is 30,000,000. It's compulsary MILITARY service in Anemos, and then you have to stay in the Internal Army until 60, from which it is optional. Most people do. Anyways, I'll send something your way.

IC: An Internal Army A-10 Thunderbolt roared towards the airport, and catching sight of the fighting, it aimed its gatling, set on a strafing course and its gun began to roar, blasting a huge swathe out of the Open Circle troops.
TO: GWO FORCES
FROM: ANEMOS EMERGENCY COMMAND
OUR NATION WILL SOON BE UNDER ATTACK BY FOREIGN FORCES <STOP> REQUEST FURTHER REINFORCEMENTS <STOP> GOOD LUCK <STOP>

((OOC: My total military is 50 million without forced conscription. Then there's my paramilitary (Including Civilian Control), which technically adds up to over 200 million personnel total (Both para and normal). Of course, I'm not deploying CCUs anywhere. Civilian Militia consists of nearly 75% of the population and is a completely separate entity, receiving no government funding at all.))

The Spire, Magna Polis

The 9,000-foot tall building was facing more chaos than normal; almost every CIWS and MTHEL station mounted on it was blasting incoming missiles and artillery shells to bits.

The message still got through. The GWO would help this nation, even though they hadn't had much contact with them before.


575,000 troops were to be deployed from various branches. Quickly, ships from every corner of the GWO were being filled with soldiers, Marines, equipment, and vehicles. Four fleets (Though not complete fleets) were sent to drop them off.

This had been the first large GWO deployment in a very long time.

Anemos Major Airport

As the OCF forces were being depleted to a relatively harmless level, the S.T.F. Agents slung their weapons, drew their kukris and Kampfmesser 2000s, and slowly marched towards any OCF troops they believed were wounded or killed. One of the most disturbing S.T.F. "rituals" was about to begin: The killing of the wounded and the mutilation of their bodies.

One Agent approached an OCF soldier who's leg had been shredded off by the A-10 Thunderbolt. He knelt down and said, "Du ever vedere ihres own internos?" ((E.G.I. for "You ever see your own internals?))

He grabbed the man's head and pulled it forward so he could see the rest of his body. The Agent took his Kampfmesser 2000 and slowly cut the man's stomach open. The poor soldier's intestinal tracts were visible. The Agent let the man down again before pulling on his arm, bringing him up again. The Agent lifted his gas mask and pulled down the hole in his balaclava, exposing his mouth. Without hesitation, the Agent tore into the man's arm, ripping chunks of muscle from inside of his flesh.

Without killing the man, the Agent let him down one more time before picking up a nearby building rod, placing it on the OCF soldier's forehead, and with one quick movement, stomping it into his skull. Similar scenes were happening across the airport...

The Warthog pilot couldn't believe his eyes, and intending to put to rest of the Open Circle men out of their misery he began to strafe the dead bodies, instantly killing them and saving them from a messy, painful death.

OOC: CRIPES!

Transmission received. We would be glad to fight along the side of Aenemos Major once again. We are transporting 54 BOLO's of various marks to defend your capital. Our special forces teams will be there in 24 hours, and will be able to set up traps. If you wish you can have 2 of our new "Hivemind" class mobile command posts. We have a standing army of 30 million, but we can call in nearly half of the people in our great nation if it comes to it. They are not all well trained, but they all know which end of the gun to point at the enemy. Were do you want us to deploy? And also, may I activate the ISIS missiles on the BOLO's? We will be there shortly.

TO: The Inquisitorius: We have activated our own ballistic missile capabilities; you will not need any. As for your troops, it would be good if you could a) Fortify my cities, b) Fortify and defend the Anemos Pass, and c) Defend the coast.

The Third Holy Empire of Anemos Major Declaration of War

We offer our greetings to the nation of Hurfdurfistan. Recently, we intercepted a transmission from your nation to an undisclosed location in Anemos Major. This transmission:
a) was from your government
b) to an agent(s) in our nation, which is already a serious breach of protocol
c) encouraged action against Anemos Major, and Anemos as a whole
d) through the support of the Open Circle Federation, a terrorist organization
e) by landing troops in our nation.
Suffice to say, the above five points are, in this event, an open declaration of war against the nation of Anemos Major, and therefore the entire Empire of Anemos as a whole, and due to the terms of the 1974 Anemonian Alliance, the Third Holy Empire of Anemos Major, the Holy Military State of The Inquisitorius and the Kingdom of Mayaqoo, as of now, the 21st of September, 2008, declare war on the Socialist Pantisocracy of Hurfdurfistan. As of now, all forms of trade and diplomacy between our nations have been stopped, and the Armed Forces of Anemos Major have mobilised in response to the threat that is your nation.

We strongly encourage you to reaffirm your true motives, and call off your forces. The Open Circle Federation is not a revolutionary group, it is a terrorist faction, for instead of trying to liberate a nation, they held them hostage with biological weapons. However, until that day, we are your enemy.

OOC: Good, now I can start planning. Regarding the composition of my military, well, I spend a good fourth of my nation's considerable budget (Approx. $40,320,000,000,000 of $161,280,000,000,000) on it, and because I limit my active military to about 1.5% of my population (About 37,000,000), I can spend roughly $1,000,000 annually on each soldier, which of course isn't all spent on training and weapons, but also tanks and ships and other military goodies. In short, though, they're well trained, well armed, and entirely volunteer. So account for that, I guess. I'll post content later, when it isn't 0430 over here.

Official Communique

It has come to our attention that The Holy Military State of The Inquisitorius has declared war upon our great nation without casus belli. We advise that you rethink your actions before you experience firsthand what occurs when the weak meddle in the agenda of the strong. We are magnanimous, though, and will give you one opportunity to stand down and cease your saber-rattling before you force our hand.

To clarify, we have deployed no forces to Anemos Major, we have not declared war on Anemos Major, nor have we committed any such "acts of war" against Anemos Major, but if we do so we will make sure that you know first.

Love,
The Federation of Hurfdurfistan

OOC: Inquisitorius, how could you possibly maintain a standing military of 30 million without your economy collapsing? That's 5% of your population, which is absurd. Even Soviet Russia only maintained a military consisting of approx 2.5% of their population, and they collapsed because of it (well that and various leadership and administration issues).

Official Communique

Esteemed Colleagues,

If indeed The Open Circle Federation is a "terrorist group" (for what is one man's terrorist but another man's freedom fighter?), we will indeed admit our error and cease all hostilities toward your nation. To that end, we request that a diplomatic envoy be allowed to make contact with The Open Circle Federation that we may affirm their motives, possibly preventing what will be, we assure you, a costly and terrible war.

Allow us this one boon, gentlemen, and let us perhaps walk away from this unscarred.

Sincerely,
High Councilor Roland Leichter
Federation of Hurfdurfistan

The Holy Empire of Anemos Major
The Open Circle Federation:
Killed a large group of police officers and civillians a few years ago during Incident A45, and now they are holding the population of a city hostage with anthrax, which we thankfully managed to recover! Is that not enough to convince you that the OCF is not a terrorist group?

Liberation is not in politics, or in leaders, but in the people. It is the people who must be liberated, not the land nor the nation. And therefore, what gives a man the right to 'liberate' people who have not rebelled, after holding them hostage? I will not sacrifice the lives of my people for just an idiotic cause; we will not fight you for if you do not understand this simple truth, then you are not an opponent worth spending lives over.

We expect an apology, and the removal of all agents from our nation,
High Lord Ilfir Erenthi III.

The Federation of Hurfdurfistan

In contemporary world politics, the definition of "terrorist" often changes with the scenario for political convenience. However, it is clear to us that we are, in this instance, mistaken, and thus offer a quiet apology to The Third Holy Empire of Anemos Major. If we had known of the anthrax threat, we would never have backed the aforementioned group. The use of biological weapons is reprehensible and categorically wrong, and moreover to make hostages of people is anathema to the very concept of liberty. We could justify our former position all day, but in the end it would just be to save face, and we freely admit that we have made a grave error.

In addition, to redeem our standing in your eyes, please allow our people to help repair any damage done to your facilities, at cost. If you allow it, we would offer engineers, transported via helicopter, from the carrier battle group we're sure you've detected.

Once again, we offer our most sincere apologies for our posturing, but are glad that there will not, at this time, be war between our peoples.

Sincerely,
High Councilor Roland Leichter
Federation of Hurfdurfistan

Horum radioed Anemos Major's predicament back to Mt. Id and this message was soon sent to Anemos Major

It has come to our attention that you are facing war. However, the troops we sent in were placed to fight off terrorists, not an invading army. We can send more troops to aid, but that depends on the cause of the war. If they are the aggressors and are planning on invading your nation for naught but land, we will be more than happy to assist. On the other hand, if your nation some how started the conflict, it will have to go under more review

Thankfully, we have managed to avoid war, and all that remains is to crush the Open Circle Federation. However, it has become apparent that the OCF have used the confusion following the near-war to steal a Mistral-class aircraft carrier loaded with MiG-21s, so they now have air support.

We will keep our AA defences online, but...

To: Anemos Major
From: Mt. Id

Glad to hear war is avoided. If it is requested, we have a full fleet of F-22 fighters and B-2 bombers ready for service that can mount an attack on the commandeered carrier.

Understood, Mt Id. Out airforce is heading to the scene, but it is inevitable that they will launch planes.

To: Anemos Major
From: Hurfdurfistan

We would respectfully remind you that our naval assets in the area are more than capable of sinking a carrier, should you require it. Alternatively, if you would prefer, it would also be possible for us to launch a joint strike with your people with the intent of retaking the ship; we hope you understand our sincerity in this matter and our eagerness to prove ourselves to be something other than the monsters we inadvertently made ourselves out to be.

To: Hurfdurfistan

Thank you for your offer of aid. We will gladly accept it, but please remember that they will definitely be able to get lanes into the air, so we may suffer some losses. Thankfully, the carrier is an Internal Armed Forces one, so it is currently stocked with MiG-21s, however, they do have a large stock of Harpoon missiles.

Briefing Room 4
HNS Kern
Hurfdurfistani Carrier Strike Group E442

"Have a seat, gentlemen." Captain Arielle Wilcox stood before a dozen of her officers and, more importantly, one from SOCOM. "The Anemos sent us a response. They're willing to look past our, ah, lapse of judgment and allow us to participate in their CT operations. Now, the situation. The enemy, this... "Open Circle Federation", has seized control of a carrier. We are going to take it back, with the help of local forces. Helicopters are en route now to pick them up. Few things of note.

"First, crew. As you all know, carriers are crewed pretty heavily, and to even get a modern carrier up and running is going to take around 700 people. That's the minimum. We will be assuming more, because we believe that the air assets aboard the carrier are their primary target.

"Second, entry. We're hoping that they build like we do, with a berth at the waterline to allow for smaller boats to dock inside. If they do, that's where we'll be hitting them. It'll be a pretty simple operation: Inflatables deliver our special operators and our allies in the berth, the operators make their way to the ship's powerplant and secure it, and we bring in a detachment of engineers to shut it down. Without power, the catapults up top can't fire, and planes can't take off. The ship is immobilized and must surrender.

"If there isn't a waterline berth, there will be other entrances in the hull. We find one, secure it, breach it, and go from there.

"Ultimately, if our forces cannot take the powerplant, we wait for them to extract, then the Kindjal opens up with its heavy guns. If we can't retake it, we sink it. But it's a last resort, and I'm pretty confident in SOCOM's abilities.

"Alright, relay the orders, gentlemen. I want those special operators on deck in twenty minutes, briefed and equipped. And have Lieutenant Bastion on deck awaiting the forces from Anemos Major. Dismissed."

OOC: I'll be sending four dozen of my finest. I don't know how many you're going to send, but I'm sending an arbitrary number (The exact number needed, coincidentally) of SH-60B Seahawks to an LZ near Junction A45, where it seems the major combat is dying down.

"Lord Sailis?" The naval commander stepped into his superior's roo and, gulping, said "Lord Sailis, the Igyren has cordoned off Lyrenei Harbour. The Mistral is now isolated, and our forces are preparing for an airborne assault. We believe it would be better if we can retake the carrier, however, and SO-TCOM and SO-STRATCOM have their Advanced Force Reconaissance and Airborne units waiting on hand. The army have redirected coastal defence batteries to the harbour, and they have two howitzer batteries online as of twenty minutes ago. The airforce is ready to launch at least four
B1B Lancers; we believe that none of their planes will get past our AA defences. The Hurfdurfistanis are sending some kind of force to assist in the assault. My Lord, we can try to recapture the ship, but if the operation fails, with our troops onboard, we will have to destroy the carrier with them inside." Lord Sailis looked grimly out his window, then turned and donning his cape, he muttered "Get me a Marine helicopter. I will head to the scene."

The Paladin Howitzers opened fire, sending warning shots across the harbour and into the water beside the Mistral, and a communications officer shouted "This is the Third Holy Empire of Anemos Major to the Open Circle Federation! Back down, I repeat, back down immediately! This is your final warning, we will aim next time!" Behind the Paladins, engineers were already setting up some MLRSs and watching from beside a soldier and a unit of tanks was none other than Lord Second Marshal Yrenthis, back from Northam-York. He was watching the carrier through a pair of binoculars as beside him, a unit of twenty Shiika guns were set up and aimed at the sky. Passing the binoculars to an aide, Yrenthis watched as a pair of the new Hellfire AA vehicles were brought up, each sporting eight 50 mm AA guns and an advanced targeting system. "Well well..." muttered Yrenthis. "It's ironic: I'm pulled back from overseas back home to fight another war..."

Base: "Raptor lead, you're clear for take off. Coordinates are being uploaded now. Rendezvous over A45 and then head out after the carrier. Take down any and all enemy aircraft able to launch and then target the carrier itself if needed"
Raptor Lead: "Roger that base, warming up engines now"

Back at a Mt. Id military airport, F-22s begin lifting off for their flight. In all over 100 aircraft lifted off and headed out towards Anemos Major.

From: Mt. Id
We have the flight of F-22s incoming. Once they are over your airspace, approximate coordinates of the commandeered carrier would be appreciated and they will go out on a search and destroy mission. It would also help if you could tell any friendly nations in the area not to shoot us down. Thanks.

To: Anemos Major
From: The GWO A45 Task Force

We believe our S.T.F. Agents can help in the liberation of your commandeered ship. We can send as many Agents as our currently deployed force will permit, and our own Cargo Fleet carrying the Federal Guardsmen should be arriving tomorrow. The Marines guarding those ships are experts at shipboard fighting, and also can assist if need be.

To: GWO
Understood. Thank you for your help.

"Lord Yrenthis, the 45th Intelligence have pinpointed the location where the insurgents came from. This may be a little disturbing..."

The F-38Bs roared over the Mistral, and one pilot murmured "Hey, isn't that a..." just as his plane was shot down. The other one banked and peeled away, but a well aimed burst of AA fire and a Stinger hit it, sending it plummeting down into the ocean. Somehow, the enemy had managed to pinpoint the location of two stealth aircraft, and that meant...

"Swordfish. Those Open Circle bastards have a Swordfish AA array on that Mistral. Prepare the MLRSs for pinpoint missile strike." said the artillery captain.

EDIT: Deleted

(...So now ur starting a war with someone?)

OOC: Probably.

(interesting...I probably won\'t be able to help with that :( lol. Still in another war)

I am not in a war, I do not want to be in a war, and I was never part of this. Please make up some story about how you got it all wrong!
