"Good morning Dave" The buisinessman said to the doorman at the entrance to Teva Tower, the largest building in the large port city of Teva, and the 4th largest in the country. He continued on to the elevator.
Suddenly, the glass doors crashed open and 5 men armed with assault rifles burst in.
A security guard stood up, and was immediatly shot by a short burst from one of the mans guns.
"You are now all hostage of the Red Hand!" One of the men yelled, who the buisinessman assumed to be their leader as he only had a handgun.
The men slowly herded the people in the lobby into the elevators, then took the people up to the second floor, where two of them got off, while the rest continued to the top.
Several minutes later, more people came out of the elevators, several of whom the man recognized as friends who worked on the second floor. The gunmen went back the the elevators, and the people watched the elevators hands go down to 3.
With the next wave of people, another door opened and several more gunmen stepped out.


"Sir, we've just recieved word from a security guard at teva towers, armed gunmen have broken in and are taking the people hostage. He said that he could see at least 15 gunmen so far, but then he was cut off. He also said that he noticed something similar on all the men, they all had tattoos of red hands on their arms."
"My god, alert the feds."


OOC: There are right now 2 people that you could play as, terrorists or your own country (on the side of the terrorists or against them)

30 Minutes Later

"Mr. Prime Minister, we just found out from the secret police that there is a hostage situation happening right now at Teva Towers. Whats worse, we think it might be the Red Hand."
"Red Hand?"
"They're a terrorist cell created to do nothing more than induce anarchy. The thing is, that they were declared dead in 1986. We thought they were finished."
"Apparently not. But back on the subject of the hostages, whats happening in there right now."
"The terrorists, we think there's at least 15, have the entire workforce held up in the top floor. Local Police have set up a perimiter."
"Well if this really is a terrorist group, we may need more that local police. I want a platoon of infantry there and at least a squad of secret police. We need to get this under control before it can get out of control."
"Yes Sir"

2 Hours Later

"Sir, the men are all in place. Should I give the order to move into the building?"
"Yes, go"
"OKAY MEN!!! GROUP ONE, MOVE IN!!!" Shouted Secret Police Officer Carl Marlon.
"Yes Sir!!!"

Meanwhile in the Mastedon Lands:

"Sir, we have word of a terrorist attack on the Teva Towers in United Gordonopia," said the secretary of defence. "Word is that it's someone called redhand, fifteen men."

"Redhand," began king Gabe S. "Ah, yes. A few years ago the practically took over a near by country called the The Darin desert Kingdom. The nation was destroyed, and then redhand attacked us, luckily we forced them back into that desert and they have been there ever since."
"So, sir, should we ASK IF THEY NEED OUR ASSISTANCE," said the secretary.
"Of course," replied Gabe S.

OOC: you can join

OOC: I'll RP the terrorists if you would like. If not, I could just jump in as my country.

ooc: could I join?

OOC: both of you can join

"First squad, begin your assault" Army First Sergent Danial Jameson said over his radio.
The squad began its assent up the stairs. Their first objective was to take the security command post on the third floor. From there, they could access all of the security systems and cameras. After that, they would leave two men behind, and with those men coordinating, clear the terrorists out of the building, heading up.


The squad silently exited the stairwell, and entered the third floor. As they crept toward the post, two gunmen jumped out, and began firing. They were quickly taken down by the soldiers, but not before hitting the pointman, pvt. rogers. With one of the men taking rogers back down, they advanced on the post, and found it unguarded. Phase one was complete.

OOC: For the record, am I playing the terrorists or myself?

ooc: you can be the terrorists, but just don't be the ones that are in the tower. I fyou want, i can telegram you some info about them

To: United Gordonopia
From: 101st War Ministry

We have heard about your terrorist problems, and would like to help. We will generously send tanks, men, and helicopters, we could also supply you with arms, and training your anti terrorist units. Please respond soon.

Signed
Jerry Fraiser
-Minister of War

To: The 101st War Ministry
From: Gordon Smith, Prime Minister

We would greatly appreciate help. Recent interceptions of mobile phone calls going out of the tower indicate additional attacks. Although the targets are not yet known, we need to prepare for them when they come. We have currently set the national alert level at 5 (the highest) and therefore all military units are on high alert. There are several things that, at the moment, could be done to help. The first of which is ground military aid. The second is people to help coordinate the effort against the terrorists. If you can send one or both of these, pleas notify us.

To Gordon Smith
From 101st War Ministry

Aid shall be sent shortly

ooc: you can be the terrorists, but just don't be the ones that are in the tower. I fyou want, i can telegram you some info about them

OOC: That sounds like a good idea. I'll post when you send the info. By then the tower situation should be closer to being solved and give me a better spot to jump in.
