War Room - Kaydonia War Headquarters, Kaydonia City, Kaydonia - 1230 Zulu Time
Anticipation within the highest levels of the Kaydonian military were high as the Kaydonian Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, President, and Vice President sat at the long cherry oak tablein the War Room of Kaydonia's War Headquarters building. Years and years of research would finally come to fruit as the military prepared to unleash one of the most deadly weapons ever devised in the history of humankind. As they sat around the room, they all looked intently at the television screens on the walls. Each of them showing a live video feed of numerous military facilities and buildings within Kaydonia. In a short while, the result of hard work, great sacrafice, and heavy research would be shown to them and it would either in in perfect success, or great failure, and as the minutes slowly passed, the nervousness and anticipation only grew stronger and stronger...

Ill respond to this after the test.

MONARCHIC ASSEMBLY OF MAKAAR
MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

His Majesty's Government, alarmed by intelligence reports on a rumoured "super-weapon" being developed by the United States of Kaydonia, warns those United States of Kaydonia that the creation of such potent weapons will draw a diplomatic response or economic sanctions from the Monarchic Assembly and may, if the risk to Our Nation is deemed great enough, elicit a military response.

If you decide to proceed, we will be monitoring the testfire very closely.

Sutton Air Force Base, Kaydonia City, Kaydonia - 1300 Zulu Time
Four F-22 Raptors sat on the tarmac, their engines roaring as their pilots tested their communications and newly installed specialized video surveillance equipment. It would be another hour and a half before the doomsday device would be set off. No one quite knew exactly how well it would work or how much damage it would cause or even what the long-term aftermath would be, afterall, this was the first time the country had ever posessed such great power.

About 5 miles away sat the launcher that would deliver the doomsday device. It had been parked in a thick forest, hidden from even the highest powered cameras, but in an area open just enough to send the weapon on its way. Soon, the world would know the true power and capability of Kaydonia. Soon, all eyes would be on Kaydonia and the message being sent to the world would be clear...

Announcement from the Emperor of Ralkovia

Hey whacha guys doing over there?

(Its informal but I'll get serious when I see what the new weapon is)

Informal Message from tMSR Heirosoloa

We are generally concerned about this new doomsday device. We would appreciate it if you would specify how the device is to be used. Is it a weapon or a last defense? The test firing will be closely monitored by our nation. We sincerely hope you never use it.

Heirosoloa

OOC: while i respect 'free media' as it where, i fail to see how a nation with less than 300 million people can develope one of the deadlyest superweapons on the planet. HOWEVER, im gam, lets see what this thing is...
Ill be checking back on this, sorry for the entirely OOC post.

[OOC; I'm just hoping it's not some amazing missile. Hopefully it will be something more.. Interesting. Maybe a giant laser or something that can pull a comet from the sky. Missiles are just so overused and so.. stoppable. All it takes is an anti-missile defense system and you're near untouchable. He also did say years of research. Maybe they gave the scientists something ridiculous like brain steroids.]

OOC: If you think about it, its possible. Population doesnt determine what a country is capable of, remember that.

Subj: Warning

The Coalition has come to learn of Kaydonia's "ultimate weapon" through the intelligence grapevine, and let me make it clear that as a member of ODECON, you are not entitled to protection if your attackers are acting in self-defense. In fact, the creation of a "doomsday" weapon, should it threaten the security of the international community, is grounds for expulsion from ODECON. You have been warned.

ooc: well, yes it does. Some nations are bigger than you an have tryed to say they have nukes, this was quickly rectified when loads of people point out they are so small they couldn't support thier production.

Population indicates militery strength that is generaly tied in to how advanced your tech is. The less weapons you have, the more powerful your existing ones, etc, etc. Unless this is your only weapon then you proboly cant build one of the most powerful things on the planet..., especialy with such a tiny population.

[OOC; I'm quickly losing interest. Are you even going to fire it or not?]

OOC: well if he does, depending on what he uses, i'll either nuke him of swarm him...

OOC: If you check my past posts and purchases and current defense budget, i can support such weapons. Im not a noob to NS. I've been around for 4 years and was an avid and highly respected member of NS under the nation of Credonia. My posession of weapons and devices was accepted by all nations on NS, and under this premise, i will continue with my use and deployment of such weapons.

And yes, i AM going to fire it, I've just decided to set this thread up this way for a reason. If you lose interest, you lose interest, if not, so be it. An IC reply to ODECON will be made shortly.

Informal Message from tMSR Heirosoloa

Because we are worried about the implications of the doomsday weapon we well be sending over a small military guard to our embassy in Kaydonia, in cause of riots or other havoc. Our ambassador and all embassy personnel might take a short leave as well, if there is a suspected threat to their safety our security officials cannot handle. We also wish for you to answer our initial question as to whether this will be included in your Strategic Defense Program, or whether this will be used a weapon.

We wish you a nice day collectively,

Then these people are wrong. A nation with less than 300 million people invented nukes in the first place, remember?

Most of the world's nuclear powers IRL have less than 300 million people in them.

ooc: Um population doesnt mean that, it depends on how many you say you have that becomes the problem

Then these people are wrong. A nation with less than 300 million people invented nukes in the first place, remember?

Most of the world's nuclear powers IRL have less than 300 million people in them.

Less than 150 million, actually. Heck, the biggest exporter of nuclear technology and power in the world has a population of barely over 50 million.

To: Evan Bachmeir, Acting President, Oceanic Defense Coalition

President Bachmeier, your concerns are well placed, yet unnecessary. Kaydonia is not an aggressive nation, as shown by my nation's history and military track record. If you will take notice of our stated policy on the development of our strategic defense program, you will see that what we are planning on doing falls in line with our stated policies. Rest assured, no nations are going to be attacked as Kaydonia has virtually no enemies. What we are doing is merely showing the world just what we are capable of in a manner that will catch potential enemies attention. No aggression has been shown to any nation that Kaydonia currently has dealings with, nor will any aggression be shown towards anyone unless they are shown against us, at which time we will respond to such aggression in a manner equal to or greater than what is shown to us. Your warning has been duly noted, but Kaydonia shall continue with its current course of action as it is not in violation of the ODECON Charter, and President Sutton can attest to this as he looks to be the emerging Supreme Judicial Authority for ODECON and can interpret the Charter in a manner that is unbiased.

We prefer not to let anything happen to our ambassadors. Precautions are taken simply because if precautions weren't taken, then who knows what might happen. We would also prefer if you answered our original question as to whether this follows your Strategic Defense Program or whether this will be used as a weapon. We hope the test firing proceeds as planned, and that your nation remains intact. We also wish that you never use this weapon against any sovereign nation should it prove to be as lethal as it is described.

Admiral Hussar stood at the head of the white oaken table seated within his conference room, gathered around the table were the other various commanders for the other ships in the 4th High Seas Fleet.

"Gentlemen, Hussar began pointing with a long dalrod.

"This is the nation of Kaydonia. As I am sure most of you are by now aware their are reports that the Kaydonia government claims to have a super weapon of some kind."

The slideshow changed on the projector showing various satellite images of Kaydonia

"We have been tasked with investigating, this new super weapon, and possibly stopping further development and destruction of the original.

As this is the case we will reset our course to take up station 300km's outside Kaydonian territorial waters, while submersable elements move into locations to observe various activities.

You have your orders gentlemen."

With that Hussar left the room, the other officers stood as he exited going to the position of attention and then returning to their own vessels to relay the new operation to their crews.

<Office of the President>

"Mr President, out Nimrod flights have detected a unidentifed task force just outside ours ad the Kaydonians waters" Securty of defense Thomas Munro reported.
"What are they doing?" President Clark asked..
"They appear to be just sitting there" Munro replied "They are closer to our waters than ours, less that 10 K from us 300 from them"
"Send the RBS Excelsior over there to investigate, they're close"

<Shortly later>

ooc: My taskforce isn't there yet...thats why I said they would be reseting their course but okay...

Hussar was interrupted from his map plotting as a young ensign rushed into his quarters, attempting to catch his breath

"Admiral....unknown....fleet....calling....requesting identification.....need you...on the...bridge."

The ensign hunched over still trying to catch his breath as Hussar grabbed the comsat mic

"This is the Admiral speaking...all personnell assume alert 5 status...I say again all personnell assume alert 5 status."
The admiral set the mic back into its slot and began making his way towards the bridge as alarms sounded and the ships halls flooded with men rushing to their perspective battle stations donning their body armor and helmets.

Hussar now standing on the bridge again clad himself in body armor, grabbed another comsat mic.

"Unidintified vessels. This is the 4th High Seas fleet of the Imperial Republic of Gataway Under my command I am Admiral Cesa Huzzar. Proceed change of station immediately, and maintain 170km distance. I say again proceed change of station immediately and maintain 170km distance."

Hussar nodded towards one of the operators seated before him, the operator nodded back activating the ships range finders and other weapons systems.

Hussar hopped the other vessels would take the warning seriously.

The big screen in the war room switched screens from a live video feed of Sutton Air Force Base to a screen showing a high priority flash message from the Strategic Defense Command:

The room fell silent for a few moments.

"Set DEFCON 2. Mobilize all military forces. I will issue a warning to Gataway. If they think they are going to interfere with our military operations when they are going to take place within our own country, they have another thing coming!" ordered President Sutton as he rose from his seat and headed to the media room to issue a public statement.

Official Communiqué
From: Kayamone A. Sutton, President, Commnader-in-Chief, United States of Kaydonia
To: All Nations

My fellow Kaydonians, today our nation will be showing the world just what we are capable of. We will be demonstrating the military might of the Kaydonian military. While such an act is not favored by myself or the rest of the Kaydonian government, I believe that it is a necessary measure that falls in line with Kaydonia's strategic foreign policy devised to regulate Kaydonia's strategic defense program. While the test of this new weapons system has drawn some criticism from a few nations around the world, Kaydonia will continue on with this weapons test and will not be deterred as stated in our official strategic foreign policy. To the nation of Gataway, who is at this time mobilizing and deploying military forces in the direction of Kaydonia, any act of interference during this test shall and will be regarded as an act of war as it infringes upon Kaydonia's sovereignty and its own national security, and it will be met with harsh resistance either in the form of diplomatic outcry or military action, and rest assured, any type of aggression will be met with SOME measure of military action. Should any Kaydonian citizen be killed or any Kaydonian operated and owned weapons system be destroyed due to your intereference, it will also be considered an act of war upon Kaydonia and Kaydonia will be forced to take actions against you to rectify the situation. I have ordered Kaydonian conventional forces to DEFCON 2. I have already given the order to mobilize all Kaydonian military forces as a precaution. Kaydonia will protect this LEGAL weapons test by any means necessary. Do not test the resolve of the Kaydonian people, and do not test me. I am a man of my word and rest assured, should any nation interfere with this weapons test, you will be destroyed. This is your ONLY warning. Stay back!

Surface Action Group Echo
Near Kaydonian Waters

SAG Echo, three Type 46 DDGNs, was escorting a convoy of six Tolvanic flagged merchantmen 300 nautical miles from Kaydonian waters when the message from Fleet Escort Command came in detailing the "superweapon" test. The Commonwealth had little interest in the region and thus didn't even bother to issue an official statement regarding. The convoy was ordered to continue on its course, but to escalate its alert level.

*OFFICIAL STATEMENT*

TO: All Nations Involved off Kaydonian Waters
FROM: Admiral Miguel Torres, Commander, Fleet Escort Command, Tolvanic Navy

RE: Tolvanic Convoy

The Commonwealth takes no stance on this "superweapon" test or the build up of foreign forces in the region. However, be advised that Tolvanc warships are escorting a sizable convoy of Tolvanic flagged merchant ships in the area. While they have no hostile intent, they will defend themselves if attacked.

The Republic does not take kindly to hollow threats. The vessels in question operate in international waters and will continue to do so. Any actions taken against the Republic's ships will be met with swift, decisive, military action.

Hussar again keyed up the comsat mic

"Intentions unnecessary, maintain 170km distance, I say again maintain 170km distance."

unkeying the mic Hussar turned to one of his officers

"Clearly these fools didn't get the warning."

The young officer nodded picking up a different hand set and barking away orders, no sooner had the young officer finished than the Reverance's massive 711mm guns turned towards the Excelsior rounds chambered. To send a clear message the gun operators keyed their fire control range systems lighting up the Excelsior for targeting.

Hussar keyed the comsat mic one more time

"I hope you recieved the warning, it will be the last one, maintain 170km distance."

Hussar let the comsat go and ordered the launch of two GLI-44 Blackjester Intelligence, Reconnaissance and Battlefield Control Aircraft (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10656604&postcount=1333) to provide further reconnissance, as well as the dispatching of both submarines to take up positions behind the Excelsior

Hussar turned to his XO "Major Freedman you have the bridge."

Hussar then made his way down the stairs, the light clang of his steel toed boots against the metal grate stairs gradually got softer as he decsended into the bowels of the ship. The Admiral retired to his quarters relaying the days events in his logbook

"Ooo, I think we struck a nerve" Lynn commented "Nether the less"
She turned to her Xo
"Beat to Quarters tom" She ordered
"Yes ma'am" Thomas Munro her XO said
The Bridge was filled with red lights and klaxons.
"They've given us a warning, let give them one" Lynn commented
"Captain, we've got two submarines closing on our postion" Tactical reported "Seems they've not got a countermeasure to our scanners"
Lynn smiled "Prepare the torpedos,let them know that we know that they are there, we aren't going to start a war out here but we sure as hell are going to finish one"
"Yes Ma'am"
"Have those subs crosed into Battlehawk waters yet?"
"Just did"
"FIRE"

OOC: Ok then I'll take out the bit where i actually fire and he can have the EMP work or not work depending on how he wants to play it is that better?

OOC: I'd scrap the EMP all togwther, since it would dissipate rapidly once fired into water. Also, iring an EMP tends to play havoc with any of your own electronics that are unshielded, and you can't shield everything.

OOC: Ok Torpedos?

Alarms rang out across the the IRNS Stalker as the approaching torpedos fired from the Excelsior

"Fire counter measures! barked the captain, Hard to stern take us down 30 degrees!"

Captain Herald grabbed his comsat mic

"This is IRNS stalker Mayday Mayday battlehawk vessel has engaged, repeat battlehawk vessel....the transmission cut off as a massive explosion thundered from the depths of the sea.

Bridge of the Reverance

Major freedman and the rest of the crew on the bridge stood in amazment, stark looks upon their faces as the relization that the Stalker had been lost.

Freedman quickly came back to his senses, there would be time for mourning later.

Freedman looked out the windows of the bridge, he calmy turned to one of the operators, Fire at will.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than eight of the massive 711mm guns of the Reverance went hot, computing in miliseconds the necessary trajectory and paths for their rounds they opened up with four salvos on the
Excelsior, followed seconds later by a launch of twenty-four sledgehammer II anti-ship missiles

On the decks of the Honor and Serenity dozens of FA-15E Cardinals took off to fly CAP around the fleet

Freedman turning began relaying the situation report to the Imperial Admiralty back at the Gatawan colony of Randia where the 4th made home port.

The Path of Radiance and the Path of Serenity headed towards where a gun battle had began between the ships of Gataway and The Battlehawk. A reconnaissance satellite had recently picked up imagery of two ships fighting and Heirosoloa had decided to intervene. From quite a distance the Path of Solace sent a transmission.

TRANSMISSION TO::REVERANCE
TRANSMITTING FROM:: PATH OF SOLACE

We cannot tell what the cause for this skirmish is, but as far as we know the deaths of soldiers in this battle is preventable and necessary. Therefore, we have sent to Kongo class destroyers to intervene as peacekeeping vessels. Should you choose to engage our vessels our should you attempt to attack The Battlehawk and/or intervene in Kaydonia's weapon testing more ships shall be sent to stop you. We hope this can be resolved peacefully.

Freedman, annoyed by the fact that more unneeded and unwanted vessels had approached the area began his return transmission

You are far out of your own boundries should your vessels enter within 200km's of our battle group we will assume you are hostile.

TRANSMISSION TO::REVERANCE
TRANSMITTING FROM:: PATH OF SOLACE

Since you have given a valid reason for your skirmish we offer our help in defeating Battlehawk. If you do not need our help then we will retreat back to our fair nation. Whatever your choice is, we wish you luck. Our standpoint has become fragile over the weapons test. We may want to hold a quick diplomatic meeting should we feel that combined forces might be necessary. The messages from Kaydonia seem almost as if they were trying to intimidate us, which we do not appreciate.

Lynn nodded to Tom as the first shot landed near the Excelsior
All of the Ecelsiors fighters swooped down through the CAP defenses and struck the Reverance before swooping out, some fighters were lost but their missles caused damage to the Reverance.

TO: Path of Solace
From: Excelsior

The Gataway submaries were engageing in manovours that cut the Excelsior off from our homeland. There intentions were hostile long before ours were, additionally, they refused to state their intentions near our waters. We are at this moment sumbitting to the WA that teh Gataway Imperial republic was the agressor, your assistance is requested. Their message to you is an outrage.

ENCYPTED MESSAGE

TO: RBS EXCELSIOR

Captain, this is Admiral Ling, we are two minutes away, we will form a protective sheild around you and let rip with everything we've got. President Clark has authorised use of the Armagendon device if neccisery

END MESSAGE.

"Return fire!" Lynn yelled as Excelsior was hit amidships on her flight deck "Reroute the fighter for another attack!"

TRANSMISSION TO:: EXCELSIOR
TRANSMITTING FROM:: PATH OF SOLACE

We believe you should have taken diplomatic actions before engaging the enemy. We are sorry, but we will not assist you. However, we may or may not assist Gataway. Because you did indeed destroy their submarine in international waters instead of retreating or taking diplomatic action, you are indeed at fault.

We also are offended that you were receiving a message intended for us. Because you did indeed attack them first, we continue to assume you were the aggressor.

To: Path Of Solice
From: Excelsior

They are also in international waters and had no bussiness bloakdeing us from our homeland. However we respect your descion. We have a 30 ships strong task force off our port bow, if you assist the Gataway fleet you will also be fired apon.
Excelsior out.

The Taskforce sped past the Excelsor and formed a defense line and opened fire with over 200 guns combinded. The shots ripped into the Reverance and her fleet

ooc: you should edit that. 1. I have CAP's in the air so I would engage you before you got closer to me to fire off at my ship, two I have five ships dedicated to anti-air anti-missile defence plus the other vessels standard anti-air anti-missile defenses.

Also you still have several anti-ship missiles headed your way not just 711mm shells...and you have a flight deck so you're an aircraft carrier which doesn't have guns to return fire with, and most carriers have anti-air defenses along with CIWS for missile defense but nothing apart from planes for offensive capabilities maybe a few AShm's but not many...and if a 711mm shell landed in the middle of your ship as you say it would have blown a hole across the entire flight deck or worse...I dont have any reference for your ship so.

OOC: The Fighters came streight down from a heigh of 50,000 feet having gone right around and down. Also i never said that the Exelcior wasn't damaged.

IC:

"All hands this is Captain Stryker, abandon ship, all hands to emergency life boats"

<RBS Venture>

"Admiaral Ling, the Excelsior is evacing" A officer reported
"Good, prepare to launch the Armagendon Device, and Hail the Reverance"

OOC: Thread hijack much?

OOC: Huh?

ooc: So you're assuming with two reconissance planes, plus all the other radar sensors etc etc and CAP's I just wouldn't notice planes coming towards me...I would have detected them being launched off the flight deck and climbing...Liestung is talking about how this battle is taking over the thread..which its not...since I was/am in the process of sending messages to Kaydonia from my fleet..but am sidetracked from that post with this one..and from the way this is going Im going to retconn this and just drop this part of the rp...battlehawk read the stickies...

OOC: I assumed you were busy...ok your not buying it, hmm, lets just, erm, whats the phrase stop the battle as its a standoff

ooc: If you want to go to war with me thats fine...but i was planning to retconn it...and just go back to dealing with Kaydonia alone...

OOC: What ever you think is best

meh just retconn...

OOC: Sorry, what does that mean?

ooc:Basically, everything is as if nothing ever happened.

OOC: Ok, I'll follow your lead

The Reverance sliced easily through the water as she and her battlegroup took station just 3km's outside Kaydonian territorial waters.

Despite warning from the Kaydonian government Hussar pressed on with the mission at hand.

more to come..

The RBS Excelsior was patroling the Battlehawk waters

Skies Above Kaydonia
Ten F-22 Raptors streaked through the skies towards Kaydonia's territorial waters. They were still a mere ten minutes away as the capital city was located towards the heart of the country, safe from coastal bombardment.

Captain John Beaumont who was Raptor Squadron One's Flight Lead hailed the fleet holding position just outside Kaydonia's territorial waters.

"This is Kaydonian interceptor two-two flying inside Kaydonian airspace enroute to take position over Kaydonian territorial waters. Request you identify yourself and state your intentions. Take note, we are NOT, i repeat NOT going to engage on your forces unless fired upon and will remain within Kaydonian airspace, over"

Kaydonian Coastal Defense Lines

All along the coast of the country, mobile and static SAM and SSM sites were put on full alert and were monitoring the large assembly of non-friendly naval forces assembling just outside of Kaydonia's territorial water line waiting at the moments notice to engage them if necessary, throwing everything they had at them. Over 200 SAM and SSM sites sat, firing keys in, missiles on safe and on the ready. Deep within Kaydonia, sitting hidden within Sutton Air Force Base sat the mobile launcher that would test the nations new weapon. It was now half way fueled and all guidance information had been programmed into the guidance system. It was only a matter of time before the missile would be ready to launch.

Crimson Naval Base, 50 NM from Opposing Forces Position

A large number of Kaydonian ships were beginning to sortee and head towards the opposing forces, staying within Kaydonian territorial waters. Their orders were strict, do not fire until fired upon, plain and simple.

War Room - Kaydonian War Headquarters

President Sutton sat at the head of the long conference table pondering over the events transpiring.

"DAMN!" he yelled as he pounded his fist on the table, startling several people in the room.

"Just what do they think they are doing? They come blazing in here and have yet to establish communications, and they think that we are just going to back down from our weapons test? Who the fuck do they think they are." Sutton continued to yell in rage.

President Sutton had always been a man with a cool temper, but when he was angered, he had no rambunction to show it.

"Continue fueling the missile. The launch will be conducted on my order, whether I give that order ontime or late. But rest assured, we ARE going to test this weapon, and we are going to test it TODAY, unmolested! Get the leader of Gataway on the teletype, NOW!"

From: Kayamone A. Sutton, Commander In Chief, United States of Kaydonia
To: The Nation of Gataway

To whom this may concerned. It is by no surprise that Kaydonia has learned of your forces sitting outside of Kaydonia's territorial waters. I have taken necessary precautionary measures in defense of my country, however, I find it rather odd that your nation and its leaders have yet to contact me as to the exact reason WHY you are positioning your forces near us, though the reaosn is most evident, to interfere with the test of our weapons system. Are you wishing for war? I have stated over and over my nations intentions in regards to what we plan on doing, and by the very doctrine that I have enacted in relation to Kaydonia's strategic defense program, we are acting inline with that policy and shall stick to that policy vehemently. Deviating from that policy would mean a failure on my part to lead my country and my people and would most likely lead to my very impeachment, which would be justified. Now had your nation and its leaders done its research as it should have done in the first place, you would see that your nation has NOTHING to fear from us as we have had no prior relations with your nations and do not deem your nation hostile, until now. State your intentions and perhaps we could come to some type of compromise, or I will proceed with the test as soon as the missile has been fueled. I have ordered my forces to fire the missile upon my command, and my command only, so the decision rests with me, and me only. If you have an issue with this test, state so now, or we will continue with our preparations and carry out the test, and you can be on your merry way as if nothing happened. The ball is in your court.

Kayamone A. Sutton

Reverance

The massive dreadnaught and her supporting battlegroup finally cut to near a full stop. Despite the numerous hails from the Kaydonian military the task force remained silent slowly drifting up and down the Kaydonian coast line sometimes getting as close as one kilometer to Kaydonian territorial waters.

It was almost as if the battle group was taunting, hoping some new Kaydonian soldier would have an itchy trigger finger.


Defense Ministry

The day to day bustle of the defense ministry building had already seen its fair share of interuptions as reports of Ghothic fleet movements, and now reports from the nation of Kaydonia were trickiling in.

Defense Minister Yustev Heinkle, a left over of the imperial regieme was interupted from his daily brandy and cigar by a young office aide

"Minister this just arrived, from the nation of Kaydonia, the 4th fleet is in operation there monitoring this doomsday weapon they claim to have and will be testing soon."

"I know what the file says, I gave the breifing to the senate yesterday. Now get out of my office."

Yustev barked, annoyed at the interruption and snatching the file and waving the aide away quickly skimming over the Kaydonian message deciding for now that silence was the best course of action until the Chancellory decided the next course of action

United States of Festejar Department of Foreign Affairs

Ive been hearing of a "doomsday device" in possible possesion of Raydonia from many other nations. Quite frankly, I am very concerned that your actions will turn violent ( I advise you not too). If this should happen the USF and its allies will take action against you.

From: Office of the President
Subj: Warning

We have received word that a large number of Gatawan vessels are currently dangerously close to Kaydonian territorial waters. If the vessels in question do breach the Kaydonian naval borders at any point, it will be taken as an act of war against a member state.

We would also like to remind the Imperial Republic that anchoring a fleet outside Kaydonia is a clear act of aggression. Kaydonia is engaging in legal weapons testing and in no way is threatening Gataway. You have been duly warned.

War Room - Kaydonian War Headquarters

There was no response from the nation of Gataway. Adequate time had been given to them to formulate a response, yet it was rather odd that they refused to communicate.

"So they wish to remain silent...very interesting tactic. I am still undeterred. What is the current status of the fueling of the missile?" asked the President.

"Sir, fueling is at 75% completion." uttered an aid sitting along the side of the wall as he monitored a hand-held electronic device in his hands.

"Very well. As soon as that missile is fueled, I want it in the air. If Gataway wants a war, let them try to destroy it. Ive already gave them fair and ample warning of the consequences and I am not afraid to carry them out."

"Sir, we're getting some responses from Battlehawk, Liestung, and the nation of Festejar." exclaimed the same aid, still sitting in his seat.

"Very well...I'll formulate a response"

Any efforts to disrupt our legal and peaceful test-fire of this system shall be considered an act of war and will be dealt with swiftly.

If they want a war, they will have to start the war, either by attacking my forces or destroying our new weapon.

We understand your current intentions. Due to your nations small size, should conflict ensue, Kaydonia will take you under its protective wing and defend you from attack. Gataway has no reason to attack your nation, however, by the looks of it, anything is possible as it seems that they are trying to provoke Kaydonia into a war by forcing us to make a first move, which will not happen. With your permission, I would like to send a second naval force to back up your own naval forces within your territorial waters to serve as a deterrent against any aggression shown from Gataway. A list of deploying naval forces will be provided to you if you agree to this.

My intentions are to continue on with the test fire of this weapon. Fueling is currently at 75% completion. Once fully fueled, I will give the order, and whatever happens, happens. Kaydonia has full rights to test this weapons as it is not targeted at anyone. I am acting in full accordance with international law and within the parameters established by Kaydonia's strategic defense policy established not too long ago. If the world doesnt like it, then they shouldnt have introduced such weapons of mass destruction to the international community.

Offical Open Message to ALL Parties


We do not wish to make the situation any worse but our presence in the area now seems warranted since Kaydonia is an ally through the ODECON alliance. The situation itself is so grave an additional nation in the fray makes little difference to either country's current foreign policy to each other.

The Royal Navy has sent a single ship to represent Stevid's interests with Kaydonia. This ship will be flying the flag of the Holy Empire and not representing ODECON or the Delian League. The HMS Telesto will be the ship sent. She is a Lemartes Class (http://z15.invisionfree.com/Stevid_MoD/index.php?showtopic=122) and already dubbed by many countries as one of the best, if not THE best, destroyer in the world. She can hold her own against almost any vessel in the world and a symbol of Stevidian power on the waves- it also shows all enemies of the Empire and her allies that we do not turn our back on our friends.

HMS Telesto will arrive in a few days where we expect a peaceful resolution to this incident to be found.

OOC: More will be coming in secret IC.

ooc: hrmm I hate the dogpile alliances so boring...Suppose I have no option except to withdraw now..oh well.... always have the god rods...

Reverance

Hussar poured over reports coming in, turning to the XO a dissappointed look upon his face.

"Set new heading Zulu one-five-seven-six."

Major Freedman somewhat puzzled after plugging in the new coordinates looked up

"Admiral that course takes us home.?

Hussar nodded as he began his way back to his quarters

"I know Freedman, we're done here."

With that the task force turned sailing back further into open waters at full speed.

The sonar operators of all the vessels in the area would likely wish they had taken a break five minutes ago, as a unified, resounding PING rolled through the ocean, it's source being at least ten to fifteen submarines just outside the anti-sub range for most of the fleets.

Very few navies would announce their presence so... theatrically, the only one doing as such consistently being the Empire of Crimmond. Sure enough, the water was split soon after by the unmistakable shape of a single Supremacy class attack submarine. A class only used by The Silver Turtle (it's designers), Automagfreek and Crimmond. Moments later, the ship's skipper got on the radio.

"This is Captain Mobuto, of the CSS Democracy's Bane. It appears that all of you are more than ready to start shooting at each other over some nation's saber rattling. There must be half a dozen such events happening around the world, so may I ask why you have all converged here and now? Other than to prove which of you has the biggest main gun battery?" Whoever this Mobuto was, he sounded rather amused. Interesting name for a boat, as well.

ooc: For all intents and purposes I am done with this thread, just throwing that out there..

Official Communication
From: Captain Styker
To: Kaydonia Command

Your task force is permitted to Enter out waters. We have recently observed the Gataway fleet appearing to withdraw, awaiting futher instructions from Battlehawk Command,

Kaydonian Territorial Waters

The Kaydonian task force continued to patrol the waters, pinging away with their sonar, and utlizing their radar systems on full power, usually only done when in a war-type environment.

"Sir, it appears the hostile forces are turning away!" yells a young seaman operating a radar in the combat information center.

"I conquer. Notify Kaydonia Strategic Defense Command, on the double!!!" replies Captain Matthew Sharpe, Captain of the KRS Manticore, an Azrael Class BBGN

The crew of the Manticore felt a wave of relief to know that any possibilities of war had been averted.
