"I am on scene at the Mega Cathedral, located in Hexa, the nation's capital where a terrorist attack has just happened half an hour ago. In what is called Southern Hexagon's darkest hour the people pray for the innocent lives lost. At 0800 hours Thursday August 2008 seven of the nations National Cathedrals were attacked by terrorists. Calls started pouring in from citizens cell phones at local emergency response stations as they saw the victims come pouring out. Thursday as you know was a national holiday respecting the religious founders of The Southern Hexagon. As soon as the clock hit eight the bombs in the cathedrals exploded. Known reports find hundreds dead as the number is rising. Emergency rescue teams are on site now trying to save the survivors that might still be pinned under the debris. Just In! The mega Cathedral has collapsed, The mega Cathedral has collapsed."(Camera pans around as the dust cloud envelops the bystanders camera feed was cut off)

(Back at the studio)"Ladies and Gentlemen you have just witnessed The National Mega Cathedral collapse. The Holy Council is in emergency session as we speak, but The High Bishop said that WE WILL BE THE HANDS OF GOD'S WRATH and that these enemy of Faith, Humanity, and The State will be hunted down and shown no mercy! Stand together my people and pray for the ones who lost their life to this menace. I ask any nation that can send humanitarian aid of any kind to please help our nation in this time of mourning.
"Nothing is known about who conducted this attack. Ladies and Gentlemen let us have a moment of silence to respect those who have just lost their lives."

Inside of The Rebel Base

"Miguel! Your boys have done, it we have humbled the ignorant fools"

"Yes, yes, the day is not yet over my friend, that was only the beginning. Get Roberto on the phone and tell him to launch phase 2 of the plan."

"Sir what is phase 2?"

"You will know soon enough. Just remember to tell Roberto that I am not expecting any of our guys to come home."

It was another average day for one of the security guards at the Holy Council chambers building. There was another code 45 which means a suspicious vehicle parked outside the premises of the building. John was finishing his morning coffee in his security booth as he was watching the horrible scene at the mega cathedral where just over an hour ago The Mega National Cathedral collapsed. He said on the radio, "we got a code 45, white van no markings, on the SW corner of the building". There was a response by two other security guards responding to the call. John heard yelling and than he heard shots fired. Subsequently, John yelled into the radio, "come in come in what is going on?" John quickly reacted by grabbing his sidearm and yelling on the radio we have a code red, repeat code red, evacuate the building.

Then, John ran towards the location where the shots were fired, but than he saw a man with a large trench coat enter the Council Chambers followed by more gunfire. John got to the doors leading into the building and saw two security guards with bullet holes in their foreheads. John knew these guys weren't confused tourists. John ran down the long corridors as he passed the many offices knowing exactly where the man with the jacket was heading. John saw him enter the center council room and John was right behind him. John came in and saw the man staring at his jacket and three of the nine Council Bishops were in the room finding refuge behind pillars. He saw the man with the trench coat start running towards the High Bishops and John knew what was about to happen so he started to run and leaped tackling the man with the large coat. The last thing John heard was a click before the blast overtook him.

Re: Kroni Terrorists

A few hours after our own domestic terrorists caused havoc in our own nation a radio transmission was intercepted leading to the arrest of one of the leaders of the terrorist organization called Advancement of Anarchy(AA). Subsequently, he was interrogated by our Holy Inquisition Force. Intelligence was quickly gathered through aggressive measures, but one piece of intelligence that was gathered, was that AA will strike against other developed nations. At first we thought this might have been false intelligence that was said to stop the immense pain that was being caused upon our detainee. However, after we made a covert strike against a AA weapons cache, we found written plans that described planned attacks against nations such as, The PeoplesFreedom, Greal, Lyras, Drvarska, and nations in The Greater Dienstad Region.

Classified picture of AA plans

Let it be forewarned however, that if these terrorists are ignored by the global community and intelligence forces of other nations, that they will grow and fester. After all we do not want a fellow nation to have to go through the humiliation and disaster that we have had today. We recommend other nations to have their domestic intelligence agencies to take another look at all terrorist organizations that pose a threat and a reevaluation of their emergency plans. Unless something is done innocent people will die, we give you the blessing of our prayers to any nation that will help us in the persecution and capture of AA terrorists or any terrorist organization.

Prussian Intelligence Center

It had started as a normal day in the intelligence center, the agents were busy following up normal domestic and international terrorist threats. As usual they were preoccupied with the Islamic threats from the southwestern region, but, again, and as usual, no credible threats were really found. Admittedly, the Federal Police and local state police did a good job of arresting and destroying fundamentalist cells before any attacks could be carried out. Thus the biggest news of the day had been the attacks on Southern Hexagon. Southern Hexagon wasn't a strong ally of The Peoples Freedom. In fact, it was a new and as of yet untested ally. There was strong opposition of the nation from within TPF, its ultra-religious and dictatorial policies were seen as determinable for the region by many liberals in the nation.

At first, intelligence operatives had thought the attacks on the cathedral were simply South Hexagon's own internal problems boiling over, and that Southern Hexagon was dealing with a purely domestic terrorist group. Intelligence assets for the Prussians was already stretched thin as it was, most of it being concentrated in Gholgoth. In fact, the counterterrorist unit was underfunded, most of the money was actually given to the state intelligence gathering groups, again most of this was concentrated against Gholgoth and potentially unfriendly states in the region such as Jagada. Thus, it was hard to justify any relocation of assets to even help an ally, especially given no threat against TPF proper.

As the day was ending and people started packing up to go home, a new flash priority message came in from Southern Hexagon warning of a credible terrorist threat. It wasn't long before people were selected and they soon set up in one of the many crisis rooms, laptops flashing and communications already established with the Federal Police. It wasn't long before the unit director selected John Anderson, senior analyst, to head up the task force to go against the threat. The task force's job would be to find out if there was actually a credible threat, and if there was, to use force to stop the enemy before they could launch an attack.

Coffee was still being made, and cigarettes were still lighting up when John barked his first orders to his men and women. Anderson was known as a firefighter, a man who took crisis' by the horns and a man who did the job quickly and efficiently. This was not only critical in the fast paced and serious world of intelligence, but also too rare. Already, several experienced field agents were being flown to Southern Hexagon in order to begin developing assets, while in just a few hours John would be boarding his own plane for the Prussian embassy there to find out what he could from Southern Hexagon intelligence officials.

One of the prominent leaders in the Holy Intelligence Council, Larry Birder, was given a portfolio of intelligence as he entered the Prussian embassy. He had heard that the Prussians have sent some of their best to help deal with the situation. As a result, Birder was ready for a face full of ego. Then Birder entered the meeting room as people were still setting up a formal meeting, but incidentally, he was immediately greeted by a man named John Anderson.To no one's surprise, Anderson immediately got to the point and asked a series of questions that Birder responded to in a timely manner, to the best of his abilities.

Do we know of any immediate threats? Yes, we have several teams searching for a current threat. A homemade videotape was created by AA. They said that a Black Storm would erupt over nations. Our analysts have concluded that because the AA specializes in chemical warfare, that the black storm most likely means some type of chemical warfare, most likely sarin gas. Here is a copy of the video for your analysts.

How are the terrorists being funded? We have traced several accounts that lead to foreign banks that have strong protection of their clients security. The AA has global sponsors.

Do we know of any of their bases of operation? Yes, the only confirmed location right now is the island of Kroni. The only reason we have not gone in yet is because the island is locked down. It would be a quagmire. Our nation would need carpet bombing and than a special forces strike, before the local population could launch a counterattack. We however would not be able to carpet bomb the island, because of the probable social-political fallout my country would receive from abroad and within our own nation. We need to have an all out ground assault that can be supported from the air. However at this time my nation's air force is not up to speed.

Kroni Island is highlighted in red. It has an area of 52,142 square miles. It is a jungle terrain that is mostly rural, but densely populated for rural communities.

What we need Mr. Anderson is for you to talk to your people back home and ask for resources to help us with this invasion. We have looked over the possibilities and the first step in permanently crushing AA would be the invasion of Kroni Island. We would also like you to alert other nations of this crisis, because your nation obviously has more standing and power in the world stage. We would also like to warn your nation that terrorist cells are most likely active in your nation waiting for the go code. Please tell your leaders to put your nation on an increased security level. Do you have any more questions Mr. Anderson?
