OPEN PMT

( Basically my countries in rebellion and you just need can support the rebels or the former government or neither and just take advantage of ralkovia. There is a story below this post if you would like to read it. It is not necessary but you will be able to know what faction is doing what and the reason behind this rebellion)




Format of involvement


So basically ralkovia has been split you can support or take advantage of ralkovia with your nation or a character. The format below is based for character or nation involvement

(Basically the same thing's happening here)

The Technocratic States of Ascelonia(TSA) - Consists mostly of the old government in transition. Their basic purpose is to bring Ascelonia into a new age of prosperity using technology. They have the resources of the former government and are best at technology. They number at about 10 million. Their ideology consists of forming a left-wing democratic and merocratic technocracy.

Advantages: Great numbers, Great leadership, Superior technology, Increasing organization

Disadvantages: Low morale, Currently unorganized, Corruption, Easily infiltrated, Lack of leaders, Unstable, Abolished use of currency, Lack of factories, Lack of farms, Relies on foreign imports, Low numbers


The Ascelonia Consolidated Industries(ACI) -
Consists of industrialists and their loyal followers. Money is power and these guys have a lot of it. Controls a plethora of factories. Numbers at about 50 million. Consists of mostly fascist and right-wing ideology.

Advantages: Large amount of factories, Good research, Well-organized, Plenty of leaders, Most of Ascelonia relies on ACI, Attracts conservatives, Plenty of capital resources, Plenty of money, Large numbers

Disadvantages: Bad leadership, Corrupt powerplaying, Organization is decreasing, Strongly against foreign influence


The Black Fist Collective(BFC) -
Made up of disgruntled denizens of Ascelonia. Mostly teenagers and extreme-leftists. Numbers at about 20-40 million (lack of organization). Represents extreme-left. Mostly Anarchists.

Advantages: Hard to destroy, Large mind pool, Creative, Lack of corruption, Popular among working class

Disadvantages: Disorganized, Lack of funds, Wants to spread revolution to other nations, No factories, Lack of scientists


Other Political Units


Conservatives (100 million)- Rightist-affiliated citizens. Do not like change to society. Prefers siding with industrialists.

Moderates (450 million)- Centrist-affiliated citizens. Does not care about change to society. Prefers leaders that are not corrupt and does not believe in radical change.

Liberals (250 million)- Leftist-affiliated citizens. Wants society to change. Prefers more freedom and civil rights.

Military (20 million)- Loyalties are split here. There is a major power struggle between major military leaders. Prefers strong leaders.

Or you can just have a chance to come into my country to loot, rob, and rape my country and people. This would be done with characters and small groups like mercenaries. This is to be done with characters only. You can do both nation and character involvement.

ooc: dekho is somewhere between MT and PMT. Could I send some mercenaries?

OOC: Sure.

OOC: Hmm, where exactly is ralkovia?

EDIT: Wait is this ralkovia or am I reading it wrong? If so, where does this take place?

ok so i can Say my nation does have some 25 Men in the Military who have no Life but Rape,Murder and Torture so i guess ill send em' here

Sorry but we Only Support Communist/Socialist Organizations that are Also leftist

Events of December 25th, 2010

Candlelight Vigil, Pacifica Park, Pacifica- 8:32 PM

A candlelight vigil was being held in commemoration of those fallen during the racist violence that had occured in the past. Unfortunately, the incident turned bad as elements of the Black Fist rallied handfuls of people from the gathering into attacking local police districts.

The local corporate-sponsored policemen began opening fire on the gathering. A violent break-up of the vigil ensued and hundreds were killed or injured. An hour after the incident, gatherings of three or more citizens had been banned.


ACI 12th Annual Christmas Party, ACI Corporate Headquarters, New Ascelonia City- 9:47 PM

Cedric Layham gives a speech about the ACI.

"The ACI has provided housing, food, and employment for the people of Ascelonia. The government has done nothing. We pay the people. The government taxes them. We often find ourselves wondering: 'What purpose doesn't the government serve?' The hard and simple truth is none. The government doesn't do anything when millions starved in the past. The government sends millions and billions of dollars to other nations, yet it does not spend a penny on the people. I ask you: 'What justice is there in that?' We have donated billions to numerous foundations to help out less fortunate people in ASCELONIA. We never asked for any favors until now. We need Ascelonians everywhere to rise up and stand up for what's right! Help the ACI defeat this Shitocracy and bring Ascelonia back to an empire again!"

Resignation of Cedric Layham, Presidential Mansion, Imperial Isle- 10:36 PM

Harry Hoffman, advocate for "Chris Ascelon for President", reads off Layham's resignation.

"I, Cedric Layham, hereby, resigns the office of President of Ascelonia. I do not find that this office suits my needs nor the needs of the people. The government is too corrupt to give the people what they deserve. My fellow Ascelonians, it's time to rise now and fight!"


Surprise Attack, Western Seaboard Command Center, Madrigal Bay- 11:11 PM

A Carrier Strike Group was stationed in Madrigal Bay, the heart of sea operations on Ascelonia's western seaboard. Madrigal Bay was a secluded area on the isle of Magilee five miles west of the coastal city of Pacifica. The sky was calm and dark. Gentle breezes flowed across the peaceful island. Suddenly, a distant noise buzzed over the island.

Air Commodore Jacob Perry held a thick cigar in between his yellowed teeth. His adjutant had bothered him very often, so this time did not seem special.

"Excuse me, sir. There are unidentified flying objects flying towards us from Pacifica."

"Lemme take a look at the radar..."

Perry examined the display.

"Oh... it's only corporate jets. Nothing to worry about."

"But, sir."

"But, nothing. Those industrialists are heroes if you ask me. They build all of our fighter jets, carriers, destroyers, submarines, and everything else. They built everything. Better goddamned patriots than the Senate, if you ask me. It's about time they got themselves some decent security and a good payche-"

He paused as he looked at already large number of bleeps on the radar double and then triple.

"They can't be. They couldn't be."

They were. The bleeps were too small to be aircraft. They had to be missiles.

"Damn ****ing traitors. Goddamn them to he-"

He was never able to finish the sentence. The missiles struck dead on. The military base had been leveled. The CSG was knocked out of service. Not only had the carrier been destroyed by the salvo, but so were two destroyers, an AEGIS missile defense ship, a submarine, and multiple support ships.

OOC: Hmm, where exactly is ralkovia?

EDIT: Wait is this ralkovia or am I reading it wrong? If so, where does this take place?

OOC: Takes place in Ascelonia. I stole elements of the OP from Ralkovia's threads. That's why I quoted.

ok so i can Say my nation does have some 25 Men in the Military who have no Life but Rape,Murder and Torture so i guess ill send em' here

Sorry but we Only Support Communist/Socialist Organizations that are Also leftist

OOC: Put OOC tags on your posts. Murder and torture are fine with me, but rape is a crime that is considered very serious in Ascelonia. The rape of any Ascelonian citizen would spark enough patriotic fervor to open up a war with the three sides working in conjunction.

To leader of TSA

We are willing to enter this conflict to safeguard the citizens until a proper conclusion is met. We are willing to protect against terrorists and enemy combatants. I am asking for your support in this endeaver. Please respond ASAP

Sincerely,
General Aron Sadat

To: Government of Paasee
From: Transitional President, Harry Hoffman

We accept your assistance in safeguarding population centers. A great majority of them are occupied by corrupt city police and corporate military units. The government is under siege. Major government institutions are being destroyed. We control few rural regions outside of major city centers. We lack industrial equipment. We need all the help we can get.

Sincerely,
Harry Hoffman
President of Ascelonia

Breaking News

Reports indicate that T-90S tanks, along with 2,000 troops, have struck into the war-torn region of Ascelonia. These units are commencing in operations against the corrupt corporate-funded police forces. Fighting is intense and the joint PRF (Paasee Revolutionary Force)-TSA force have already arrested hundreds of officers. General Sadat is confident that this force will break the hold of corruption and terrorism that has gripped the country. More information as this story develops...

----------

PRF troops had no trouble with many of the so-called officers. However, in the city known as Pacifica, the troops were pinned down by heavy resistence. They called for backup, and were sent 7 T-90S tanks. These tanks came rumbling into the city, looking for targets to hit, and began firing on the many garrisonned buildings...

December 28th, 2010
(These mean that all events and actions occur on this day till next post.)


ACI Military Headquarters, Pacifica: 5:25 AM

"Goddamn foreigners," Patrick Helring examined the battle map. Though he neglected to mention the name of their new foe, he himself was descended from a foreign Germanic family.

"Paasee Revolutionary Forces are supporting the corrupt TSA-regime," murmured the brilliant Orwin Morrel. He took one glance at the battle map. The government forces took considerable gains within New Ascelonia City and a few other industrial centers. Overall, the gains made by the ACI outweighed the gains made by TSA forces. The ACI was most concerned about the government taking control of factories capable of producing arms.

The TSA was also concerned about the ACI building factories of there own. So far, the TSA's industrial capacity was vastly outweighed by the might of the ACI. The Black Fist terrorists had been pocketed in many other areas. The ACI was also concerned about those pockets breaking apart, even though the BFC were not organized.

ACI corporate military units were holding back the onslaught of the Ascelonian loyalists. A shipment of fresh soldiers arrived from both the colonies and Ascelonian patriots. A plethora of turncoats had shifted themselves from the TSA's grip.

The TSA was holding on to the strands of life. The ACI was gaining complete control of the country. Without pausing, Orwin pointed out the areas to attack and drew a few arrows here and there. The ACI generals unquestionably followed his brilliant strategy.

OOC: Hmm... I'm strictly MT, but this looks interesting and besides, I've drawn up quite a lot of PMT designs...

Well?

OOC: You may participate, if you wish.

Ruins of Old Ascelonia City, Ascelonia City: 8:32 AM

"What do you think?" Troy Whitman asked David Pendleton.

"It's perfect," he purred in his dangerously calm voice. The war was a great boon to his fortunes. The government was about to crack down on him for unethical research practices, but now the government needed every person they could get. The ACI, themselves, were disgusted by his work. Even so, the scientists under his command were a force to be reckoned with.

"Facility X will be constructed here. It will be secluded away from the fighting, especially since the ground here was devastated by the TSRT incident," Troy's smile could hardly be contained despite the fact that the glare from the sun obstructed David's view. They both agreed that this war would benefit them both.


Black Fist Collective Regional Headquarters, Atlantica: 9:52 AM

The party leaders had a rude awakening (The BFC was an Anarchist collective, but it still had to have leadership.). Guns and cannonery blared outside the headquarters. The sentries on watch could barely turn back the massive floods of TSA and ACI forces in the streets. A shell landed in the lobby, slaughtering the guards and workers posted there.

Edward Harrison and Patricia Kirov sat on the opposite ends of a very long and elegant table in the basement of the BFC regional headquarters. They represent two completely different ends of the left-wing. On one hand, there were the communists and, on the other, there were the anarchists.

Edward Harrison glared at Patricia, who shot a look of pleasure back at Edward. They had both survived through the regime change and, thanks to the popularity of the transitional government, their ranks decreased, forcing them to work with one another while the Fascists went into business.

"Patricia. How are your forces doing?" his tone was unpleasant, but it was natural that they show a mutual dislike. The friendship was one that was force on them.

"Very well, thank you very much. We control a few factories in Pacifica. We are struggling to maintain control, but we will persevere," she gave a firm reply.

"Interesting. Our forces are functioning. Listen to this. Five... Four... Three... Two... One."

An explosion ripped through the air.

"We set up a few bombs here and there everyday. That one just blew up at the ACI Corporate Regional Offices. It probably should've ripped through the lobby. We were planning on breaking into their R&D center so we could secure more powerful explosives. That is why we have a new operation. Call it "Operation Blackheart". We will secure more explosives from every R&D station belonging to both the ACI and the TSA. Once we have enough explosives, we will launch the February Offensive."

Edward's plans were a stroke of genius, but he kept his self-satisfaction hidden to himself.

The Great Betrayal, Imperial Isle: 11:45 AM

Chris Ascelon (This is after the Imperial Wedding) sat at his new office. Rose was somewhere else in the Presidential Mansion. Chris sat at his desk and, suddenly, his secretary bursted in.

"Mr. President! The Imperial Guards are leaving! They're joining up with the ACI! We're doomed!" she cried.

"Crap. How bad is it?" Chris asked worriedly.

"Well, we've lost sixty percent of starting forces," she indicated charts and flicked on the television for reinforcing evidence. He couldn't tell whether the news was propaganda or the truth. The ACI controlled all broadcasting stations and that was a huge problem. "We're losing more since then. We only have about ten million stalwart followers. That's the number we have to rely on and that's the number we have to preserve..."

OOC: Many thanks.

IC: "And, as we can see here, the Global Hawk caught some minor conflict in these two ports..." The marshal paused as the screen zoomed into the two indicated areas, then continued "...and it seems to have to do with the rebellion taking place in Ascelonia. Looking at the speed of the attack, we believe that the funds needed to acquire missiles of this kind would suggest that the perpetrator is the ACI. Further intelligence reports suggest that tension in the ACI camp has been growing for a while."

High Lord Thryn Erenthi I, standing next to the screen, sighed. "War never ends, however hard we try." An awkward silence filled the room, and eventally the High Lord looked up and asked "Well? What pretext do we have to go to war? I know you have one, otherwise you wouldn't have brought this before me." The marshal nodded and said "Our ambassador to Ascelonia was killed in that attack while visiting the port, and the ACI refuses to claim responsibility for it, although we have evidence pointing to he fact that it was the missiles." Thryn sighed and asked the Marshal "And is that our reason to go to war? The ambassador was a very good man, but... well, it's just a little shaky." The marshal replied "High Lord, it is a valid reason and besides, we're doing this for other reasons as well. If the ACI takes over, its isolationist elements may discourage trade with Anemos, thus damaging our industry, not to mentions the whole Anemonian Alliance's. Besides, my Lord, the enemy isn't just the ACI. Terrorist elements have been traced back to Ascelonia by the Intelliegence Directory." Thryn smiled shrewdly and said "It sounds like a mess to me, marshal. If it's really a threat to our nation, then please do it. But even if I am 16 years old, I'm the son of Ilfir Erenthi III. Lying to the High Lord is treason, and therefore a crime punishable by death." The marshal wasn't lying, but it made him uncomfortable to see Thryn, whom he had once tutored, turn from the quiet, shy and peaceful Thryn he had known from two years ago speak so freely about killing him. Had the death of his father affected him this much? He nodded, murmuring "Yes, my Lord." Thryn turned away, his face grim, and said "I am the chair of the Anemonian Alliance this year; I will convince them to gather their forces under my command."

His expression as he left the room was unreadable, but Marshal Yrenthis, watching him, could se a hint of sadness in his face. Then the Imperial Household Bodyguard troops stepped forwards, their scanner-visors down and the faceless troops left with Thryn, an ever present reminder to him that he was the High Lord. Yrenthis thought about calling off the bodyguard; a 16 year old had enough problems to deal with already without having to be the head of state, but then of course, without them, he might suffer the same fate as his father. Eventually, he stood and said "Gentlemen, we have a situation to deal with. As First Marshal of the Army of Anemos Major, and the head of the Council of the Armed Forces, I expect full cooperation from every branch of our military, land, sea and air."

"Yes, my Lord."

In Ascelonian Waters, 1:52PM

"This is IFAM Savronin to IFAM Anemos Rei, over. Our escort reports that their forward probing teams have a visual on the Ascelonian coast."

"IFAM Savronin, we understand. Get your escort to call back their chopper; we will launch a fighter squadron to confirm this."

"Understood. Over and out."

IFAM Anemos Rei, a Nimitz II class supercarrier (upgraded in late 2009) and IFAM Savronin, a Wasp class amphibious assault ship, cruised through the sea. Behind them, at Rennin Citadel awaited the Anemonian 4th Fleet and the 9th Army, as well as a lot of troops from Mayaqoo and The Inquisitorius. They were just the probing team; if anything happened, all hell would be let loose upon the Ascelonian rebels.

"This is Anemonian Taskforce "Ascelonia" to any former governmental forces in the area, over. Requesting permission to commence landings. We are sorry about the secrecy and our sudden intrusion upon your waters, but the danger of the threat you are facing means that we must operate in the utmost silence." The commander aboard the Anemos Rei waited for an answer.

General Rafir Al Moraq heard this transmission and wrote a quick reply.

Task Force Ascelonia,

The area you are entering is just outside of the Paasee "Sand Zone". We are currently assisting local government forces in operations against the corrupt police forces and terrorists. All assistence is welcome against these opponents. Our main goal is to safeguard the citizens of Ascelonia, not necessarily to support the government. You have permission to land in the "Sand Zone", if you wish to dock there. It is much safer than the outskirts. If you do decide to this, I will be on hand to greet your commander and discuss possibilities between our two armies.

General Rafir Al Moraq
Head of Paasee Military Operations-Ascelonia

OOC: The ACI is open to free trade and economic freedom, but will strongly oppress civil liberties, illegal immigrants, "lazy" people, and non-conformists.

Where's all the fascist nations that are supposed to leap to the aid of the ACI?

IC:

Western Seaboard Coast Guard Vessel 132A: 1:32 PM

After a long and uneasy silence, the coast guard patrol ship responded to their request. It was rather unnecessary to ask for permission, especially since the Anemonian forces are so numerous. The response was clear and to the point.

"Task Force 'Ascelonia' has clearance to land."

-------

ACI radioes and news networks broadcasted it's messages all across Ascelonia and foreign affiliates.

"People of the world. We seek to strengthen Ascelonia and put her people's interests above the rest of the world. The government being propped up by Paasee and Anemonian forces is corrupt and weak. We already have the popular support of the people and military. The ACI is now in a position to take complete and total control of this country. Once the turncoats and traitors are bled white and forced out of Ascelonia, we will establish the greatest trading empire in history. The ACI is a large proprietorship and we encourage trade rather than oppose it. We wish to establish strong alliances with the right-wing nations of the world."

Pacifica was in complete chaos when the tanks thundered into Pacifica Park. Due to the fighting, citizens were turning on the police forces as well, and the tanks were only happy to assist them. BOOM! The 125mm smooth-bore gun of one of the tanks ripped a shell into a police "Technical". The crater left behind was devoid of any life. The troops hugged the tanks, taking out police officers trying to rocket or even take potshots at the tanks.

With all the commotion, no one heard the three BMP-3M APCs come around the other side of the battle. One made it's presence known when it fired its 100mm main gun at a Technical, obliterating it. Each APC unloaded its 7 Al Qare SpecOps troops into the battle, while covering with their 100mm and 30mm guns. The battle had intesified, with the ACI trapped in the middle...

Brian Diarano had one love in life: profit. It was this that motivated him and his highly illegal band of 20 elite troops to send messages to all the major factions of Ascelonia.

The core message in each, throwing away formalities, was simple:We will fight for you in whatever capacity necessary for the right kind of pay.

Brian sat back and waited for offers in his sub-oceanic crust layer. It was new and state-of-the-art.

Opening Phase Operation Total Destruction- December 30th

Pacifica Park, Pacifica- 12:32 AM

The stillness of the night, or the very very early morning, swept a peaceful calmness over the city. The occasional echo of sniper shots did not disturb the calmness of the night. Suddenly, a large explosion rocketed over the city.

"What was that?" asked General Louis Dresden to his aide.

"I don't know... we'll have to check our scouts for damage reports," replied the aide who promptly switched on the radio to a defeaning blast of static. Another blast rippled through the sky and missiles began falling randomly into the city. More EMP pulse bursts were disturbing fluid communication and also preventing the government's complex electronic anti-air defenses from being set up.

"Oh shit," said Dresden muttering under his breath. Hunters. Hunter fighter jets would seek out any major concentrations of soldiers or armour using heat sensing technology and a number of other systems to track down where the Ascelonian defenses were. They were supposed to destroy any anti-air defenses. That was their main job. They had an easy job doing it.

Automated air defenses had been knocked out for now. Soldiers trying to man the manual-operated air defenses were quickly mowed down by a combination of gunfire and missiles. The Hunters were followed up with a massive carpet bombing campaign. Bombs shattered every single inch of TSA-occupied Pacifica.

"Damn. The ****ers are bringing on their regulars. This time, they're not holding back," Dresden turned to his aide. "Get us a chopper. Hell! They'll have my ass on a platter, but I would rather they did than be dead."

"Yes, sir," the aide followed the General's orders. The defense of Pacifica, a major Ascelonian port, had deteriorated. The TSA forces in the area were now in full retreat. Foreign aid would have to reach Ascelonia either from airdrops, Atlantica, New Ascelonia City, Liberalis, or an island sea-base.

There had to be hope somewhere. They needed it.

From: Office of Recruitment, Ascelonia Consolidated Industries

Dear Mr. Diarano,

We understand your specialties and areas of expertise. We will require your services in our operations. You will understand that we will be in total control of Pacifica. We need you to aid us in the final push against the TSA forces. Operation Total Destruction is now in full effect. Our initial attacks in Pacifica have succeeded. Your services are required in Liberalis... a troubling little city on the Western Seaboard. Once we take control of Liberalis, we will have total control of the Western Seaboard of Ascelonia.

Your pay will consist of ten million dollars and five prostitutes (namely wives of defeated TSA leaders).

Sincerely,
Jack Merridew
Office of Recruitment

(Here's a map

It's rather bad and Pacifica and Atlantica need to be switched around.)

The Empire of Orinion is a grouping of small to moderate sized island nations of about 150 million people under the Emperor Joshua Cloudao, who for the best part of 15 years has ruled with great skill. The newest member of the Empire is the large mainland nation of Cardaseia, with a population of 60 million, which is located in close proxcimaty of Ascelonia. The leader of the Cardaseian Peoples Government, Matthew Robinson has reported concerns about the situation in Ascelonia to the Emperor and has recieved a promise to protect the people of Cardaseia from any theat of voilance and war.
OOC: this is setting up Orinions, rather damactic, entery into this confect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cardaseian Local Time:10:54am (Ascelonian Time:1:43pm)

Matthew Robinson was just finishing his report on the state of affairs in Cardaseian when the entire bluiding was shaken by a bomb blast.
"What the?", was all he had time to say before the entire roof fell onto him.
~~~~
Cardaseian Local Time:12:44pm (Ascelonian Time:4:33pm)

Emperor Joshua Cloudao was awestuck by the amount of destruction that lay before him.
Of all of the government buildings in Cardaseia, the Emperial Compound was by far the most sercure.
And yet it was in ruins.
"Who in the name of Auron did THIS?!" demanded the Emperor.
"Reports are, well, nonexistant at this point",said Tyron Veroin, the Emperors right hand man,"But at this stage it looks like it an agent of the ACI"
"*sigh*I had hoped it didn't come to this....Tyron! Inform the Armed Forces to prepare to invade Ascelonia. I said i would protect this country and i will!", with that, the Emperor begin to walk away from the destoryed compound.
"Oh, and i surpose you should inform all of the countries with armed forces in Ascelonia that as long as their troops do not fire on ours, they will be spared our fury"

Of the 150 attackers, 7 tanks, and 3 BMPs, 59 troops were killed or wounded, 2 tanks were damaged, and 1 BMP was destroyed. The troops, however, stayed in the city, even with their allies retreating. The Paasee snipers and rocketeers occupied buildings, waiting for the main assault on the city. They radioed in for support, and 2 Ka-50 Black Sharks were rushed up. They wouldn't get there for a few hours, so the troops had to hold out until then. The riflemen hunkered behind ruins and in the burned-out buildings. They got ready and waited for the enemy to arrive...

Orinion News Flash
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There is roiting in the streets of Cardaseia City tonight in the aftermarth of the bomb attacks that rocked the citys of Cardaseia. One of the worse hit aeras was the Imperial Centre, which houses the Imperial Compound that was leveled by a bomb eariler today, killing Matthew Robinson, the leader of the Cardaseian People's Party. Early reports surgested ACI involvement but it has now come to light that the attacks were the work of the BFC and rouge elements in Cardaseia. The Emperor has already made contact with all of the countries with troops in the already wartoren country of Ascelonia and has offered his surport to the TSA. the Imperial Armed Forces have been placed on condition Yellow as the Empire gears up for war.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
OOC:Orinion's tech level is about 2000-2005ish and it has an Army of 900000-1 million troops.
expect that number to go up as the Empire either conspicts or the people start vontaring

OOC: MT = Modern Tech
PMT = Post-Modern Tech i.e. a few years in the future

Brain received the reply, sent his acceptance (under the tacit understanding that looting and civilian abuse were acceptable), and mobilized his people.
------
A short time later...

ooc: I'm assuming Liberalis is near the coast.

Twenty mercenaries traveled along the ocean floor in an advanced submarine that used to be an aircraft carrier (a small one). Brian saw no need to leave the base in the middle of nowhere guarded. Besides, all the former members of the last monarch's Royal Enforcement Squad were used to working together.

Brian sipped expensive wine, hastily pirated a few hours ago, from a decanter as he plotted the assault. His pale, sun-starved skin glowed in the lights of computers.

He called ahead for information about the location and defenses of Liberalis.

OOC: MT = Modern Tech
PMT = Post-Modern Tech i.e. a few years in the future

OOC:Thank you. that clears up a lot of worries.
BTW put in 2 options for the placement of Cardaseia.
you can pick if want but i would like it to be at option 1
http://img223.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mapuz2.jpg

(Yes, Liberalis is a coastal city to the North. I can't see Orinon's map.)

"We find a growing amount of enemies, Brian," ACI representative Carrie O'Neal's voice echoed through the radio. "We're hoping if you can be as persuasive as possible in getting nations to pull out of this country."

Phase 2 Operation Total Destruction- New Years Day


Former Western Headquarters of TSA, Pacifica- 12:01 AM

"A toast to your health!" a man with cheeks rose-colored with drunkeness raised his glass.

"And a toast to yours!" Orwin Morrell replied with a similar toast. Paasee forces were holding on, although all remnants of TSA forces had withdrawn from the city. The ACI had undisputed control of the majority of Pacifica and the majority of industrial centers in all of Ascelonia.

Even foreign peacekeepers couldn't stop the merriment of the partygoers. As the evening dawned, new supplies were distributed to ACI Corporate infantry units. A new wave of EMP missiles dawned on the resistance. This knocked out all complex defenses and targetting technology. Rocket troopers were sent forward to knock out tanks and armoured concentrations. As soon as these jobs were taken care of, the coup-de-grace were artillery shells loaded with chlorine gas.

Corporate infantry wearing gas masks rushed in to finish off soldiers that survived. At the end of the day, Pacifica would be theirs. Casualties for the initial attacks all around the country had numbered around two hundred fifty thousand for the ACI and two hundred thousand for the TSA. The numbers were moved around a little bit until it looked as if the TSA were on the verge of losing everything and the ACI had lost nothing at all.

Nonetheless, the compared attrition rates were pretty bad, with the TSA on the retreat and the ACI deploying chemical weapons on infantry concentrations, the situation was about to get worse.

OOC: Option 1 is the open land on the right edge of the map and option 2 is the open land on the bottum edge of the map.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The Cardaseian Army is ready to move at a moments notice if things get nasty", Tyron Veroin reported."The Imperial Armed Forces are a different matter..."
"How long?"asked Emperor Cloudao.
"The Navy will be just outside of the conflict zone in about 2 days and the Air Force can stike almost any of the cities in Ascelonia. The Army will be able to move a force of about 100000 troops to Army Bases throughout the country but it would take months to get the entire Army into Cardaseia. Honestly, this whole conflict could be over before the Army is fully ready." with that, Tyron left to continue stocktaking the Army surplys.
After Tyron was out of earshot, Joshua turned to the person in the chair.
"Captian, how long until the ISF is ready?" the Emperor asked
"When do you want us to leave?" the Captian replied.
"Tonight. I want you to make contact with the TSA leaders. Offer our surport in combat. And then you will have one more thing to do," said the Emperor.
"Whats that?"the Captian asked.
"I want you to find the locations of every single ACi forces base with 50km of the boarder. Then you are to return to Cardasiea City and report in for your next assignment." the Emperor ordered
"Yes Your Highness."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
quick History of Orinion and the ISF.
The Empire has had a history of war that ends about 5 years before Emperor Joshua came to power. in this time a small group of elite troops banded together to form the Imperial Special Forces, or the ISF. at first they acted by themselves, then they offered their services to the Emperor. They havent really left since. The ISF are the best of the best. you dont not want to meet these guys in battle.

The Anemonian 1st Marine Detachment was a 100,000 man strong unit, equipped with an amphibious assault ship, armoured vehicles, artillery and air support to boot. However, in the face of EMP strikes and chemical weapons, well, they were quite ineffective and with chemical weapons killing off TSA members and civillians alike, the Anemonian Holy Office of War, in an effort to stop the enemy, sent in B-52 bombers from the Internal Air Force,loaded to the brim with free falling bombs. At the altitude they flew at, they would be unaffected by the EMPs and the bombs would be dropped into areas designated by Global Hawks. At sea, the Imperial Fleet of Anemos Major were preparing for a counterattack by the ACI, with fighters flying cover at every moment.

At Karonin Naval Citadel, the first of three 'Contigo' class modern battleships had been completed. Equipped with both modern electronic weapons and old 450mm Great Anemonian 'Sky Shatterers'. These could be aimed manually if necesarry, although it was extemely hard, and the IFAM, recognising the dangers of the 21st Century battlefield, had EMP hardened it. In addition, behind it was a Devastator class Long Range Land Assault ship. Designed in 2008 by the Karonin Shipyards, the Devastator was the ace of the IFAM. The ship was equipped with SRBMs loaded with nuclear warheads, as well as 350mm guns and Tomahawk missiles. It had never been used in actual battle because of its deadly payload but, with rebel factions using chemical weapons, the IFAM was prepared for the worst.

Message from TSA High Command, TSS Freedom- 7:32 AM

"Under no conditions will any weaponry be deployed against the civilian populaces of Ascelonia. We demand that the ACI cease their evil actions, but we are in no position to make demands of them and they do not represent a legal government. However, any foreign forces found to be in direct violation of these orders will be faced with whatever resources and forces the TSA can direct against them."

The demands were empty. The TSA was on the verge of collapse. Neither the research of David Pendleton nor the brilliance of the TSA leaders could rescue the failing nation. The government had to relocate to maintain stability.

OOC: perfered location of Cardaseia
hope this one works http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp182/WarteryMind/Changes.jpg

Themirin Citadel was the centre of the Imperial Fleet of Anemos Major, and inside the main bunker complex built into the mountain, strategists planned their next move. "The TSA is falling back, Lord Sailis..." murmured one admiral and Lord Sailis nodded. "But they still have Atlantis..."

The Anemonian 4th Fleet was immediately redirected to Atlantis, intending to defend it with all they had. Thanks to a large portion of the 2009 Navy budget, the 4th Fleet was pretty much completely NBC protected, and besides, the enemy wouldn't be able to get a ship anywhere near them if things went well (although it all depended on whether the enemy had a strong naval force or not.) And then there was the 9th Army.

The 9th Army Command realised quite quickly that in order to invade Atlantis successfully, the ACI would need total air superiority or the Anemonian Navy would simply sink them one by one with massive bombing strikes. This was where their trump card came into play.

Its official designation was "Anti-Air Long Range Artillery" and that was what it was. Developed some years ago under the SWORDFISH initiative, this AA weapon had originally been designed to destroy stealth weapons by using a lattice of heat and movement sensors. However, this weapon, although it fulfilled its primary purpose, was extremely limited and it had only been used as fixed AA defences and on board the nuclear powered Devastator class. Instead, the Army had comissioned the SWORDFISH III, which used the same combination of sensors; however, it used less of them and more powerful ones. Armed with sixteen long range missiles in easily reloadable pods and a vulcan cannon, the SWORDFISH III was used quite extensively by Army AA units. (OOC: No, this is not an advertisement.)

"The Empire of Orinion is willing to assist the TSA in defending the few areas that the TSA still has under its control. The Empire will also send to the TSA a group of the Imperial Guard to assist in the processing of the incoming refugees and specialists."

Brian's submarine surfaced at the shore. 19 of his men clambered out, unloading various pieces of weaponry and equipment, along with vehicle parts.

In the meantime, one of his men set up a mortar and began firing canisters of hydrogen cyanide into the city. the men were prepared with gas masks. The civilians most liely weren't.

Tyron waited until the Emperor had fired the last bullet in the clip.
"Well?" asked the Emperor after he had removed his earmuffs.
"The 1st Navy Task Group has made contact with the TSA, though we are yet to recieve a reply." Tyron replied.
"Good good. And the ISF?"
"About 10km from the boarder. They stole a jeep and are, aparently, going cross-country listening to heavy metal music."
"HA! Anthing else?" the Emperor asked, reloading his pistol as he talked.
"Nothing Sire." Veroin replied.
"Good. Go take the rest of the day off." With that, the emperor turned back to the firing range and started shooting.
As he left, tyron looked downrange. He noticed that all of the shots had hit the head dead on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The men retreated from the city with orders to burn everything of value in their path. Everything went up in a similar "Scorched Earth" policy the Russians had used. The missile shield set up in the Sand Zone was a work of art. Nothing could get into the Sand Zone without being utterly destroyed. About 10,000 more troops had arrived and were assisting the local population in evacuation...

----------

Paasee Sergeant Momar Feshir witnessed the jeep come charging towards them, heavy music blasting. He had always hated that American garbage and it hurt his ears. The men in the jeep came towards him, even as he raised his hand to stop them. The checkpoint tanks trained their guns on the jeep. Momar thought he saw them slowing down but he wasn't sure...

We are willing to support you if you can provide an area for us to deploy to. Our forces are world-renowned for their combat capabilities. Our initial plan is to deploy a total (Counting logistics) of 250,000 soldiers with full naval and air support.

"Oh snap", said one of the ISF troops
"What?" asked the Captian, then he saw the checkpoint." Turn off the damn music, this could get nasty."
"I think nasty is an understatement Captian."
"Shut up, get out of the jeep and let me handle this," the Captian barked at his men.
With that the Captian hopped out of the jeep and started slowly walking towards the tanks and who appeared to be an Paasee officer.
Without his guns, naturely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sergeant Feshir pointed at the vehicle. "You are entering the area known as the 'Sand Zone'. You must submit to a vehicle and weapon search. Also, you must state your reason for coming here. You must declare all weapons. If you fail to mention a weapon and it is found, you, your men, and your vehicle will be detained pending an investigation. Please do not make this difficult. I'm sure we all want to leave here without incident." With that the Sergeant motioned for a Corporal to start moving towards the jeep. As she headed to the vehicle, the Sergeant awaited the man's response...

"OK then. We were here to find the locations of all the ACI bases within 50km of the Cardaseian boarder. We also under orders to make contact with the TSA. I have a .45 Osprey pistol on my belt and 2 thorwing knifes straped to my ankles. In the jeep we have 4 MP7SD SMG's and 2 LAW's that we stloe from the same Army base that we stole the jeep. There, I saved you the trouble of seaching, can we keep going now? cause we have 4 checks for $75000 with our names on them."

"You won't be very stealthy with that awful music playing," Feshir stated. He glanced over at the Corporal who gave him the thumbs up. "Ok, you may enter, but be aware that should you cause any trouble, you will be detained." As the jeep drove off, Feshir couldn't help but wonder what his people had in common with those damn Westerners...

----------

Major Alexia Dellis, a field commander of Greek decent, scanned the desert from her tank. Although she was born in Paasee, she was very close to her Mediterranean roots. At 29 years old, she was one of the youngest Majors in the Paasee Army. General Sadat had taken a personal liking to her after she had saved his life at the Battle of Tripoli. Now she led the 4th tank battalion across this barren wasteland towards the docks in the "Sand Zone". They were supposed to be going home but Dellis found it very hard to believe that Sadat had given up so easily. They were probably just going to regroup at the newly established Atlantis and push from there. However, Central Command had stated that fresh ACI troops were being called up to defend. As it was playing out, this war seemed to be turning into a battle of attrition. If so, there was no way the PRF could hope to win. They had accomplished their mission of evacuating all civilians, but this war was turning into something a bit personal. Letting her binoculars drop, she went back into the hatch and ordered a non-stop push back to the "Sand Zone". There was still 50 miles between them and the missile shield and she would be damned if she didn't make it...

"that was interesting," said The Major.
"You know it," replied the Captian.
"Detained...HA! Detaining us is like stopping a semi with a toothpick: it isnt going to happen"
"how long 'til we're back in Cardaseia?"
"About 6 hours"
"Great....Where's that Metellica CD?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Imperial Air Force isnt very stealthy. But who needs to be stealthy when your on a mission to blow things up. Flying in from airfields in Cardaseia and from the Outer Islands 20 B-52 set out to bomb the hell out of every ACI base that wasnt dug into the ground. AKA most of them. The bomb's they used were a mixture of HE and firebombs. HE to blow everything up and firebombs to burn whats left. At the same time the Cardasiean Army, which was spread out along the boarder, began to be shelled from an unknown souce and in response began to cross the boarder into Acslonia.

Hearing the artillery fire, Major Dellis ordered her tanks to halt. Pulling out her binoculars, she saw an entire army of Cardasieans, being shelled from beyond. Reportedly being allies, these troops needed help. Dellis swept the binoculars and could just barely make out an artillery position. It was about half a mile off course but she decided to help out these new troops. Besides, what if the tanks were the artillery's next target? Moving into weapons range, her tanks cut a volley into the artillery position. Not checking to see how much damage they had caused, they moved on to the missile shield still about 30 minutes away. The artillery fire had stopped and that was good enough for them...

Because the Marine Detachment was left floundering in open sea, trapped between Atlantis and the Ascelonian homeland, the IFAM decided that they cold be put to better use preventing an invasion by the ACI of Cardaesia and therefore they were immediately dispatched to Ascelonia at the shortest possible notice. Loaded with F-35Bs and tanks, the Wasp-class and the cargo ship carrying the Detachment's heavy equipment made their way towards Cardaesia and with the Cardaesian Army stuck on the border, the detachment was able to get ashore unopposed. With reports coming in from the Air Force Strategic Reconnaissance (Global Hawk UAVs) that the Cardaesians were being shelled, the Marines were immediately dispatched inland to help with the defence of Cardaesia. However, the Marines would take time to arrive and were not very numerous and so the Anemonian 9th Army, 3rd Quarter (250,000 men) was sent as well. In addition, an Airborne unit of about 150 men was sent by courtesy of a C-130 Hercules, to be parachuted behind Cardaesian positions to both inform them of the Anemonian presence in their nation and to aid them. Although the Cardaesians around the coast had noticed them, the Anemonians looked like the same old peacekeepers to them and after all, in a nation where enemy invasion was imminent, nobody really noticed large bands of soldiers anymore.

Two M1 Abrams with full crews of four rolled into Liberalis. They were accompanied by an M3 Bradley CFV carrying nine. An AH-64 Apache flew overhead, piloted by two.

The submarine continued to fire hydrogen cyanide into the town, but the mercenaries were prepared with gas masks. Meanwhile, the Apache crew dropped letters demanding citizens to come to the shore and surrender unconditionally.

Aristo left another message for the main government.

"We seek permission to send in a covert Dekho squad to intercept some Dekho nationals in your country."

Just as the Abrams' arrived in the city, they were met by 4 Paasee T90S tanks. Training their 125mm guns on the M1s, one of the soldiers announced that they were outnumbered. They had hidden men who were training Stingers on the choppers and AT-4 CS launchers on the Bradley and tanks. The soldier told them to leave the city, as they were protecting all civilians from the city. Wearing masks due to gas attacks, there were other soldiers within the city trying to instruct people on how to protect themselves from attack...

ooc: not to be whiny, but what kind of numbers do you claim to have here? And did you establish their presence earlier? You are a country of 10 million and can't have troops everywhere.

"Good. And the 1st Orinion Army?" The Emperor replied.
"Combat ready Sire. They are just unloading the last of troops and equipment as we speak," General Honina replied.
"Good. I want you to take command of the 1st Army. You seem smart enough to command 70000 troops," said the Emperor.

ACI Official Reply

The TSA is a pestilential fly that must be swatted. We now represent the majority of Ascelonia and we demand recognition as the legitimate representation of Ascelonia. The GWO is a great nation and have earned our greatest respect for aiding us in our quest to crush the technofetish pigs. We will allow anyone willing to trade or aid us to join us in our economic, social, and military expansion against the TSA and neighboring enemies.

By economic, we mean that ACI will trade and build in more and more nations. By social, we mean that Ascelonians will learn about other cultures and become a world power by allowing her people to implant their people into other countries. By military, we mean that ACI will build their military and expand into neighbors that choose war instead of trade and diplomacy.

The Cardasiean Army had begin to filter across the boarder when they came under artillery fire a few days ago. But now the Army was crossing the boarder in force. A good 90000 troops had already crossed the boarder by this point and there was still a good 500000 troops still waiting to cross. The Cardasiean's were yet to incount something that looked like resistance and was setting a good pace of travel.

I have stated earlier (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14307773&postcount=9) that Paasee would be there to protect citizens, and it would only seem logical to evacuate civilians from large cities where the fighting would grow intense. The gas attack is here: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14313357&postcount=32 Read the third and the fifth paragraphs.

ooc: you do realize how ridiculously impossible it would be for you to evacuate every large city for the duration of a war, right? that's just not feasible, even if you were there to protect them. Troops would be stationed inside instead. There's a reason Baghdad and Fallujah haven''t been evacuated. London wasn't evacuated in WWII, and several other examples besides.

OOC: You know what, you're right. I'll change my post to say that they were protecting them instead of evacuating them.

OOC: One question. Have the ACI gassed everyone in the now evacuated regions? I could borrow Mayaqoo's anthrax stores...

...or just bombard the place.

Operation Total Destruction Phase 3, January 12th

Inauguration of Cedric Layham, Presidential Mansion, Imperial Isle- 9:00 AM

With his hand on the Holy Book, Cedric Layham diverted from the tradition of "I promise to protect and honor..." Instead, he laid out a long speech.

"With a great victory won against our foes, we now move into a new era of progress and-"

A dissident protestor rose out of the crowd with a megaphone in his hands. Another gathering of protestors at his back.

"You twisted bastards! Return Ascelonia to the people!"

At once, as if on cue, a swarm of armed corporate security waded through the crowd and arrested the protestor. A cohort of corporate police broke up the protestors. After a few minutes, the only remnants of the protest consisted of a few dead, a few badly wounded and writhing on the ground, and broken banners, signs, and other items used by the protestors. The speech went on as if there were no interruption.

"Let us join hands together and fight for the people..."

After fifteen more minutes of rhetoric, in which the people struggled to maintain the brimming energy that they had in the beginning, the speech ended. Cedric turned to an aid at his side.

"I want that bastard sent to the 'mining' district. He should be tortured every once in a while to keep him on his toes. In a few months I want you to break him. I want you to make him love the ACI. He will love everything we stand for."

Then came the usual and expected "Yes, sir!"

TSA High Command Headquarters, Atlantis- 11:11 AM

"The Endikar Empire is declaring war on us!" screamed an adjutant through the radio. The Endikar Empire had had difficult times with Ascelonia before. They attempted a few invasions now and then, but though they had immense numbers, they lacked the technology to overwhelm Ascelonian defenses. The false support that they offered the TSA was in an attempt to divide Ascelonia in half. Now, ACI would most likely open up more trade agreements and agree to divy up the TSA. The Endikar Empire could now secure Ascelonian technology from captured TSA scientists.

On the other hand, there was the Troposian Republic. It was much farther away and a great deal smaller than the Endikar Empire, but it was more efficient and advanced. The Troposians would most likely come to the aid of the TSA, but it would be of little use. The TSA, now, has to confront two major enemies.

(Here is an updated map. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg151/Chris7He/Update.jpg

Sorry for springing this other crap on you guys, but I wanted to make things more interesting.)

Foreign nations, we stand by those who have remained at our side. The ACI has pushed us out of our homeland, now they and the Endikar Empire have joined forces to destroy the last remnants of true freedom and civilization. We ask you to remain at our side.

ooc: Make Brian aware of the ships landing. he needs the people and the warning at Conservoplois. BTW, when the Grand World Order comes, how do his troops relate to the mercenaries? Is one group in charge of the other, or do they just work side by side?

Special Transmission

"Brian... There will be GWO reinforcements landing at Liberalis (now Conservapolis). We feel your services are not necessary in that area. We are relocating you to a growing threat to our territories..."

"Very well,' he responded, glad for the break from a nasty situation. "where to?"

Magna Polis Military Harbors #8-10

The positively massive logistics ships of the GWO were swarming the harbor, shooting out as soon as they were loaded up. Most of the ships were indeed loaded with soldiers and military equipment, but a few of them were carrying enough supplies to set up a Civil Control System in one city. This would be to show ACI how to properly operate the CCS.

The leader of the fleet was Rear Admiral Griffin Yeats, typically assigned for operations that weren't expected to include heavy Naval combat, after the debacle off the East Coast of Greenland where he lost several ships to the Red Tideans.

"We need you to join a massive attack on concentrations of TSA resistance in the Disputed Territories. Naturally, the Endikar Empire will gain technology from our scientists in exchange for our complete control of the DTs. The Troposian Republic might pose a threat to the operation, but they will be destroyed as well.

If you haven't heard... twenty years ago there was a nuclear explosion in the Disputed Territories. It was BFC terrorists warning the existing government. The TSA have built a massive military compound underneath the blast site and has used the radioactive environment to advance research as well as using it as a 'natural' defense. We need you to break into the compound and report their activities to us... The problem is that radio signals will not work above ground due to the interference created by escaping charged particles. We need you to take a few pictures and upload a few files for our viewing. That is all... If you complete this mission, there will a couple of prostitutes (daughters of TSA supporters) and a few million dollars in the making."

(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg151/Chris7He/Map2.jpg- Invasion map. This will be available to all countries... I mean in RP. Tomorrow on the ACI news when they publicize it.)

OOC: Well, I would need to deploy a significant portion of my armed forces just to salvage the situation. The situation for the TSA on it's own seems hopeless.

No one wanted to deal with him and be held responsible for condoning his hundreds of murders. However, he had a plenty of new discoveries waiting to be sent to the TSA High Command. This was now an exception.

The information is highly valuable and it would now be transported to ACI Headquarters via submarine (the TSS Speed Demon) and aircraft (unnamed TSA smuggler seabird). The information needed to be well-protected and the blackboxes were designed to self-destruct at the first sign of failed entry.

A Carrier Strike Group would be sent against the ACI and GWO fleets to distract them.

Brain swiftly got all his troops and vehicles into the submarine and ran away. Let his opponents keep Conservopolis- they would soon be overwhelmed. He headed over to the Disputed Territories.
------------------
The Dekho Intelligence Service quietly contracted the services of a certain Brian Diarano and associates in their quest to destroy Black Fist. They decided to reinforce him using the military arm, sending 200 Blacksleeves over. (ooc: the Blacksleeves are like more sophisticated private military contractors. They specialize in sniping, technology, and urabn warfare. Mose also have vehicular prowess). Prince Aristo was made aware of none of this.
ooc: The Blacksleeves work for Brian directly and therefore the ACI. First and foremost, however, they are loyal to Dekho intelligence.
-----------
Prince Aristo stood delivering a speech.
"In order to protect freedom and stability in the region, Dekho is hereby offering military aid and supply to the TSA. Our end goal is the suppression of terrorist groups such as Black Fist, and we also want to control hostile industrialists."

OOC: Well, I would need to deploy a significant portion of my armed forces just to salvage the situation. The situation for the TSA on it's own seems hopeless.

(Well... there's heavy BFC and TSA resistance within Ascelonia itself, though the ACI try to surpress news of that. I wouldn't say it's entirely a lost cause since it is about to get a hell of a lot more interesting when I add new plot twists.)


Operation Blackheart Preparation Phase, Black Market outside of Pacifica- 8:07 PM

"We are preparing for an all-out revolution, Mr. Connaught. Are you sure you want to stay with the ACI?" the BFC representative looked straight into the eyes of an exec of the ACI.

"Yes. I'm not in this for the war or for the cause. I'm in this for the money. That's why I'm handing over all these explosives to you. I've given you the explosives, now I want the money. I'm getting the hell outta this country," Connaught replied.

"Fine. Here's the suitcase. Fifty million Ascelonian pre-war credits. Paid in the full," the BFC spokesperson grinned before leaving with three truckloads of explosives disguised as potato shipments. They left in separate directions so as to not arouse suspicion. Three potato trucks driving side by side would be pretty weird.

Connaught picked up the suitcase and entered the seabird. Exiting the country should be as easy as pie. Especially with the cloaking around the aircraft.

Brian Diarano's 22o man army assembled under the sea. He contacted the leader of the ACI.
"We have reinforcements." He didn't mention the source.
------------
Aristo contacted TSA leadership offering military aid or political asylum.

(This is a little confusing.)

"Reinforcements accepted. There's a gap in our line during our attack and we need you to fill it. We will show it to you in our maps..."

OOC:wtf? you made Cardasiea disappear?

OOC:wtf? you made Cardasiea disappear?

(No. I just don't include it on my maps. Sorry)

OOC:Whatever. i'm confused now....

(Fine.)

Operation Total Destruction Closing Phase, January 21st

Message from TSA Outpost 2- 8:00 AM

"Shit! We're under attack!"

Voices from radioes echoed through the bunker.

"Jesus ****ing Christ! They got huge ****ing fleets of aircraft! Oh God..."

A whistle through the air, a sharp bleep, and silence. The outpost was destroyed.

IC
General Al Moraq knew when he had lost. Actually their mission had been terrifically successful. They had protected civilians from major assaults and had saved hundreds, even thousands of lives. However, the General felt that this was personal, especially when the deaths of dozens of his soldiers were caused by the ACI and her allies. He hated defeat but knew he couldn't risk anymore lives. Telling his sub-commanders to order the General Retreat back to Paasee, he saw the tank battalion of General Alexia Dallis. He ran to her tank and shouted that they were evacuating the "Sand Zone". Seemingly pissed off, she drove her tank back to the staging point. The evacuation ships left Ascelonia, speeding off to Paasee with its escort.

Dear TSA leaders,

It is with great sadness that I see your country caught in the middle of this terrible struggle for survival. I am offering asylum to any TSA government leaders and civilians who wish to leave the war-torn country. I am sorry we could not offer any more assistence.

Sincerely,

General Aron Sadat
Head of Paasee Operations

TSA Submarine Transmission, Somewhere in Pacific Ocean- 5:29 AM

"We have the package. ETA 35 minutes."

ooc: If you're saying my nation's actions are confusing...
Brian and his men are convicted felons, but ever since the disaster at the wedding Dekho Intelligence has been fixated on eradicating Black Fist. Once they realized that they already had Brian on the ground, they made a very vague deal with him and reinforced him with their own people (no official uniforms or insignia). They do not care about the TSA vs. ACI struggle, so long as Black Fist is destroyed beyond repair. They have told Aristo nothing about this to avoid official disapproval. Aristo unwittingly is offering medical and military help to the TSA.

Brian and his 220 men arrived at the front with his men. As used as he was to scaring people, Brian could not help feel a bit nervous with Blacksleeves crawling all about him. They had a reputation for ruthlessness, ferocity, and dedication to the mission that surpassed even his.

The nameless leader of the Blacksleeves walked up to him. Tall, lean, and dressed all in black, he was an intimidating figure. Brian knew that he was currently being read like a book, and he didn't like it.

"Ask about Black Fist," he said in a soft but deliberate voice. "They are our mission."

Brain glared at him but acquiesced, calling the ACI headquarters.

"Do we have any news about Black fist?" he asked. "My sponsor... the one who supplied the reinforcements and some very nice equipment... is interested in wiping them off the map. Their mission lasts as long as Black Fist lasts, and I can't keep their troops without information."

Battle of the Middle, Deadcenter in the Pacific Ocean- 5:30 AM

A TSA Carrier Strike Group pushed towards the meeting of the GWO and ACI fleets. It was a suicidal mission, but sometimes such acts were honorable. Fighters zoomed ahead towards fields of flak and waves of bullets. They advanced like a sacrificial lamb crawling towards the altar. Transmissions passed frantically from the TSA ships and planes within the area.

ACI Official Reply

"You're as far away from the BFC as one can possibly get without leaving the country. We're taking care of them. Please, join the attack on TSA positions."

Nordfire supports the military in this civil war, but as we are involved in our own, we cannot help until later.

ACI Official Reply

"You're as far away from the BFC as one can possibly get without leaving the country. We're taking care of them. Please, join the attack on TSA positions."

Brian returned to the Blacksleeve leader in dread, feeling very uncomfortable in having to deliver this news to one so near to him. perhaps he shouldn't have accepted this help.

"They... are being dealt with," he said hesitantly.

The dark figure nodded.

"Nineteen squads!" Brian shouted, turning to his men. "Ten men each, and ten get one extra. Each of you takes a squad and gets set up!"

Soon, 220 troops had armored vehicles, tanks, helicopters, and a couple of planes at their disposal. They were all heavily armed.

"Move out!" came Brian's order, and they advanced towards the TSA positions.

GWO Fleet

"Jesus Christ, airplanes!" shouted a random sailor aboard Yeats' Battleship. Quickly, the massed CIWS systems of the Order's ships sprang to life. Metal Storm, Skyguard Laser systems, PHALANX, Goalkeeper, and Skyshield systems began vomiting walls of AHEAD shells and laser energy to target the oncoming aerial threats. The F-22Ns and F-23Ns were taking off, loaded with both AShMs and their MBDA Meteors/AMRAAMs. The ships began jamming electronics and hostile communications, which would hopefully stop them from launching more aircraft. The GWO's ships quickly began launching volleys of Shkval Torpedoes and AShMs t'wards the TSA group. The T-212s spread out and moved closer to the TSA Aircraft Carrier, waiting to get close enough to make their torpedoes much less vulnerable to defense systems.

Bridge, TSS Swordfish

"Admiral... all hope is lost. This was a suicide mission and you knew it. Yet you didn't tell any of us," the adjutant was shocked and appalled. Admiral Crawford calmly took another puff of his cigarette.

"Shitfire. You're all gonna be heroes even if your wives and girlfriends are gonna end up ****ing other men. You've all earned your place in Heaven and in the history books," he replied dryly.

"What the ****? You twisted bastard! You can't do this!" the adjutant replied.

"I already did. No chance of getting outta here alive. Set a course for the heart of the GWO fleet. Plenty of ships in this fleet use nuclear reactors and carry tomahawk missiles. Unload all the ****ing weaponry we can. We're gonna make a suicide run against the ships," Crawford grinned unpleasantly.

"Aye aye, sir..." the adjutant replied begrudgingly. Outside, TSA fighter jets fell like flies. No. Flies was a derogatory term. More like angels. Yes. Like fallen angels. They steered for enemy ships on the way down. ACI ships were more easily destroyed due to their lack of missile defenses than the GWO ships.

TSA Outpost

Dekho observers and TSA soldiers stood side by side. Trenches and foxholes weren't usually something you'd see in modern warfare, but it was necessary in this situation. TSA artillery were trading heavy punches of lead and steel with the ACI. Somewhere farther East, the same thing was playing out against the Endikarans. ACI corporate infantry advanced quickly and moved forward, motivated by hatred, patriotism, and money.

They drew beads on the TSA defenders. TSA soldiers exchanged gunfire. Machine guns opened up into the forest. Grenades flew across the forest floor and one could tell how much they loved each other. Soldiers collapsed writhing on the ground. Medics nearby tried to treat them, since no one could take them out of the battlefield without getting shot. Above them, the engines of ACI corporate aircraft dropped bombs and shot missiles at them.

"What the **** is that? They aren't ACI!"

The leader of the TSA defenders indicated soldiers with black sleeves.

Military Docking Bay 7, Atlantis- 6:13 AM

The package had arrived successfully. Orders for the seabird carrying copies of the plans were to change course and head for the heartland of the Disputed Territories where the heart of the TSA resistance laid.


Meeting Room 3, TSA High Command Headquarters, Atlantis- 12:03 PM

"I hope you understand the urgency and importance of this meeting. We have detailed plans and designs for new weaponry and equipment. I will go into more detail, but first we must search the room for listening devices and spies.

2:27 PM

The search was over now. The man continued.

"We have our hands on a design for a new type of ammunition called the pellet..."

An assistant pulls out a screen and a slide show appears. Schematics and designs are displayed.

"It is a wonderful new type of ammunition that contains heavily concentrated and packed matter. It can be designed to achieve the same effects as grenades, but on a smaller scale..."

"Holy sh*t!" swore Lord Raphael Gabriel Micheal (his parents had been excessively religious). "Why are there Blacksleeves with the ACI?"

He ducked to the side and called home. More specifically, he called Staph, the town holding Intelligence headquarters.

"What is going on?' he cried angrily. "there are goddamn Blacksleeves firing at the TSA postions!"

"No comment at the moment," a cool female voice replied. "perhaps we'll say something later." She hung up on him.

Raphael punched in Aristo's personal cell phone number and pressed "call". However, at that moment, a man he would have recognized as a convicted felon shot him in the head.
----------
Brian laughed gleefully. "that was close," he said. "We got it cut in time, though."

The Blacksleeve leader, however, was livid. "You've just killed one of the Crown Prince's best friends," he snapped. "Do you realize that?"

(Bump. Response Pending.)

(We'll pick this up sometime later. Too busy right now.)
