Taeshaet. A collection of islands far off in the Atlantic. As of late, there had been a surge in leftist movements, much to the local governments dismay. They were a colony, and thus didn't really have the means to crack down on the revolutionaries. They'd sent official communications to the Grestonian government, but they thought they were exaggerating.

One morning, a group of revolutionaries set out to complete their mission; bomb the Grestonian embassy. It wouldn't be as hard as they thought, since one of the members worked there. They would pose as caterers, due to the tour going on that day. There would be two main bombs; the one in the parking garage was a utility truck loaded with nitroglycerin and a substantial amount of home made plastic explosives, while the other, placed in the dining room on the 2nd floor was four large propane tanks rigged with explosives set in corners of the room. Adding to that, there were also several smaller charges elsewhere, to take out emergency stairs and collapses the roof in the atrium.



At exactly 7am, they moved out from the garage. Since the truck had been in place for days, all they needed to do was set the timer. 20 minutes.

One of the men used the stairs to get to the dining room, and gave the gesture that the clock was ticking. They only had minutes to spare before the tour reached the room, so the men armed the bombs. A suspicious security guard wounded in as they were arming them, but before he could use his radio he was bludgeoned with a pipe wrench. He was quickly moved in into a kitchen, before they left the building on foot.


7 minutes later, a large blast ripped though the embassy, killing most of its occupants and heavily damaging a next door building. Because of the massive bomb in it's belly, many of the lower floors collapsed, making it difficult for firefighters to search for survivors.


Immediately, the revolution began. Attacks on police outposts commenced, in order to gather arms to over through the old government. The rebels had also gotten in contact with a merc group in an Eastern European country, who'd supply arms and train them, but they would arrive for a few days.

ooc: I suppose you could be one of the Merc groups that arrive there, but it's mainly going to be fought by the locals

A battered cargo-ship had arrived on the port of one the smaller islands; it was a meeting point between Colonel Gurlukovich and General Leite. They would later be joined by another PMC group to train and arm the locals.


"You have the money, as we argeed? half now, half later."

"Yes." Liete said as he placed a briefcase on a table. "The rifles are here, alongside the grenades?"

"3,200 AK-104's, 500 SVDS', 1000 RPKM's and about 4,000 RPG-28's, exactly. Your vehicles are coming soon, we had a little problem at home securing them, so you should delay your offensive a few days. Has the head Government said anything about it yet?."


"Not that I'm aware of, but the local Government is spewing false information by the bucket load. They claim to have it under control."

"I see. Well I'll let you get back to your lunch, I have some business back on the ship to finish."
