Kingdoms of Cal : Vote & Post your UFO experiences in IC Mode. Even if its just a dream like mine. The Martians are coming, the Martians are coming. Orson Welles War of the Worlds is here.

According to eyewitness reports a flying saucer spaceship with strange lights was seen hovering around the Cuban Freedom Tower. 2 Alien looking females beamed down out of thin air on top the Freedom Tower building with laser guns and took a human male hostage.

Reports are coming in from all over Miami Shores of flying saucers sightings and close encounters of the first, second, third and fourth kinds. Such as alien abductions and experiments. What next the first Cuban Miami Shorerian Alien baby?

Post your UFO experiences In IC Mode even if it is just a dream like mine.
One night long ago I was half asleep and half awake. But I could not force myself out of bed. I kept hearing a strange craft like noise hovering around the house coming and going. I thought was just a helicopter.

I finally got up to look out the window but it was too late. The next morning I heard on the car radio of persons reporting UFO sightings in my Miami neighborhood. I wish now I had forced myself out of bed and looked, I could have seen a real UFO sighting.

My next door neighbors also reported to me hearing the strange noise, I wonder why they did not look out the window.

I once had a dream at least I think it was a dream, I hope, yeah lol. That I had been abducted by aliens with feathers, half human half birds who could fly. They took me to thier home planet and showed me around. All I remember was standing in front of a whole bunch of bird like aliens as I saw some fly over me.

Miami Shores.

OCC: Kingdoms of Cal have very graciously given me the Ok to have some RP fun with thier arrival in Miami Shores. Eventually our government will post a warm welcome to Miami Shores to the Kingdoms of Cal Aliens.

Prime minister Salato rushed threw the corridors of the executive spire in tel, the Xiscapian, honest to goddess E.Ts. It was weird as that very morning she had, had breakfast with the miokaliaen ambassador and his people were of extra terrestrial origin but it didn't feel like they were. Well they had always just been there.

She had been a little disappointed that the Xiscapian looked like normal vulpines, she had hoped for something more exotic. But the fact they had ships in orbit over her was enough, they were not from about here.

–

Meanwhile the commonwealths own FTL experiments were coming on apace as they were throwing drone after drone into the unknown. At the commonwealth's space centre there were a number of hasterly erected cabins to accommodate the massive increase in personnel. The theoretical physicists still had no idea how the vibe travel worked and every-time a theory seemed to be correct the vibe crystals would throw them a curve ball and blow the theory out of the water.

The simple fact of the matter was that the commonwealth's brightest brains could not figure out how there own tech worked. How ever the engineers were less concerned they we just making it work, they had even managed to make a primitive vibe telegraph. Bandwidth wise it was nothing to write home about, but it was better than nothing. They were still using old, ex-military drones with simple sensors to act as probes but new 'Raven' custom made drones and landers were ready now. They just had to select targets.

–
Over Miami Shores there was a bright flash and a small EMP burst, not enough to do damage but noticeable to telecommunications (a click on the radio, a freeze on digital TV, the odd lost cell call that kind of thing). The drone's rocket plume was very visible in the clear night sky and the sonic boom very audible it was unlikely it had gone unnoticed.

The drone turned upwards as programmed and a minute or so later left the atmosphere to get a clear photograph of the stars. These probes were trail finders the serious ones would come later, as it fell back it sent back the locations and brightness's of the starts and some information about the atmosphere, gravity and any chemical evidence of life back home.

It only now detected the EM coming from the cities as it was only now that it switched it's sensor array. It was now programmed to avoid contact as it had carried out it's job and didn't have the energy reserves to contact home again. It nose dived to try an avoid contact with the local air force, it was gliding now out of fuel.

It's basic AI got confused by all of the EM sources but headed to the area where there was the least, the suburbs. It detected a possible landing site and went for it, unfortunately for the residents it had picked their back gardens to land in.

The three meter long drone with wings of the same span crashed threw the first fence., then the second and ploughed a furrow threw eight more before smashing into the side of a swimming pool. It teetered on the edge each time it went forwards it's damaged nose cone filled with more water. It flipped in, it was still very hot and it's rocket motors were still red hot. A plume of steam was thrown up.

In it's nose cone was a message. A cylinder a bout a third of a meter long, it contained an image of a female vulpine (fox like creature) with it's hand up in friend ship, with a male behind her, a map of their solar system and what the starts looked like from their home world. The crafts last act was to destroy all of it's internals with the release of Fluorine gas to the crystalline components all turned to dust.

OOC: Up to you who gets there first and what they do and what your government does about it (I see three possibilities

1)Claim it's theirs and pay compensation.
2)Say they have no idea WTF it is (unlikely)
3)Blame someone else

What ever happens the press will have a field day ;-P
OOC: Hope I got the right thread.

OCC UPdated Post: Kingdoms of Cal, Dude your awesome thanks, I will post when I think of something to post, lol. Wich could take a few years, lol. Dont expect too much as everyone knows I am not an RP er, so anything I RP is awesome, lol.

My RP may be more in line with my RP than yours yet contain a few of your RP elements. Then again that is the government way. I hope you are not disappointed.

Mostly what I do is political talk posts, lol. I loved my Miami Shores repeal of the neutrality act post.

My nation always welcome messages and friendly positive and negative diplomatic telegrams from any nation.

Messages would be on my profile page. Telegrams would be directly to my nation.

OCC: I wish most of my fellow NS RP nation posters would put aside thier obvious dislike of me for my RW views and origin, oh well, lol

Relax folks it has all been a hoax their has been no hostile invasion from Mars. No abductions and experiments from aliens. El Mundo Gossip Magazine is under government investigation for spreading the fears of Miami Shorerians.

Yet since telecomunications all across Miami Shores were temporarily interrupted as our systems were not used to the source of the disturbance our government was not able to communicate to our people the awesome news.

Friendly Aliens from outer space of the Kingdoms of Cal have indeed visited us. Have been granted an embassy near the Versailles Restaurant where politicians, diplomats, VIP s, Businessman, Businesswomen, celebrities and local patrons gather, mix and interact.

3555 SW Calle Ocho St
Little Habana
Miami Shores.

We hope they like human foods as well.

It is unclear how El Mundo Gossip Magazine knew about the Aliens arrival before high Miami Shorerian government officials.

A spaceship will land shortly in front of their new embassy represented by Kingdoms of Cal Ambassador to Miami Shores Lady Sinie and her staff. The government of Miami Shores has begun handing out free Kingdoms of Cal Flags.

As word spread throughout Miami Shores from boca to boca, mouth to mouth of the friendly alien invasion crowds began to gather in front of the new embassy.

When the spaceship landed in front of the embassy the crowd was in awe of the spaceship.

As Kingdoms of Cal Ambassador to Miami Shores Lady Sinie and her staff emerged from the spaceship 10,000 cheering kingdoms of Cal flag waving Miami Shorerians welcomed the friendly Aliens from Cal.

Greeted by all high Miami Shorerian government officials, President Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Vice President Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Foreign Affairs Minister Elian Gonzalez, Ambassador to Kingdoms of Cal in waiting Nina Fernandez and supervisor of Women Ambassadors Carmen Santiago a special ambassador in her own right.

Ambassador Lady Sinie and her staff have been invited to appear on the popular Cristina TV Talk Show. Cristina often called the Hispanic Oprah.

Cristina Saralegui popular Liberal Talk show host and former unsuccessful Vice Presidential candidate under unsuccessful Presidential candidate Alex Penelas in our nations first presidential election.

Welcome to Miami Shores.

OOC: As you say you don't role play much I figured that it might be fun to do a 'view from the gallery' type thing (the 'little people' blogging). Rather than my normal character interaction stuff.
OOC:There are a few things mentioned that might lead to bigger things politicly, the wee people sometimes notice things the gov don't .

Greetings!

I figure that sooner or later this will be noticed as all but one of my previous forries onto your net seem to have been picked up.

Well today was interesting to say the least, it's not every day you land on an alien world...well not for me any hoo. Boy was I glad to get off that plane, well I s'pose space craft as I am light years from home..still trying to get my head round that. The crowds when we landed were amazing, thanks for the awesome welcome guys!

The speeches were the normal diplomatic dullness, this may be the fist time we have gone interstellar but not the first time we have set up an embassy. Sorry if they went on a bit, I was glazing over after the first five minutes.

Any hoo, the reception was interesting and I have to say your food is no bad, then again anything would be better than the crap we had to eat getting here. Then again it did help my diet as I didn't eat much.

Suliane our business relations officer was his normal drewn self, Oh yeah you guys won't know what a drewn is. If you saw the pictures he was the short yellow furred vulpine with large ears, even by my standards (and I'm not lacking in that department). Anyway he got talking to some of your mobile communications people and in the five minutes I was away (using the facilities) had them in a massive bidding war. Put it this way by the time he was finished he had secured us somethings called blackberries well two each, the software to secure our work ones and I have the suspicion they are paying us for the privilege, especially as I have been told not to be 'discrete about my usage of them'. I suspect they want the publicity that us using them will bring round here.

He didn't stop there he moved onto the cabled communications people and I suspect we are not paying for either our net connection or phone lines after the carriers got into another bidding war. In fact I don't think we are paying for anything ATM. Tomorrow we are hitting the town to get some furniture as the place is kinda sparsely furnished. My furniture currently consists of a futon and that's it. Come on how can a girl survived with out a wardrobe at least ;==P.

Heck I need some clothes, I mean I only have three outfits and a swim suit with me, but I do have a sewing kit to adapt your clothes. Kinda essential when you have a tail and you guys don't have em.

Right back to things Walden our Saeie military atachie...OK you won't know what a Saeie is ether, huge lupine in the leather stood at the back. Dunno how tall she is but at least six foot six and built like a brick s*** house. Actually once you get past how she looks she is really quite cool for a military type, I got talking to her on the trip here, she does embroidery of all things.

Any way she and the techs have our work blackberries clamped down tighter than a nats c**** . I s'pose it's her job after all. Saying that my touch screen one, I kinda like, though I will have to make sure I don't put a claw threw it.

Right back to things.

We got our IT kit, none of it is what I'm used to but none of it is that far behind the stuff back home, well our tech Po did find some amusement in the specs but...well I'm not that tech savy TBH, it seems to work.

Walden and Po, a teerie....OK you guys will have no idea what a Teerie is will you, tall, green thing, an arboreal skunk. Any way neither of them liked the OS the machines came with as Po said it sucked and Walden said it was insecure as they didn't have the source code.

After a bit of rummaging around your net they found an OS where they had access to the code and sent it back home for checking. So I'm running something called linux, seems to do the job on my 'net book', well I think that's what you guys call them. The concept of paying for commodity software is kinda foreign to us.

But back to the point...did I have one? Nope.

Anyway some of you will have noticed I am on twitter and currently seem to have more followers than some religions. I thought I would get in trouble for that but our media relations bod seems to like me being online. I speak five languages but media BS is not one, something about 'connecting with the joe six packs out there', I'm not sure what he was talking about.

Oh yeah, please stop emailing me my poor we blackberry crapped itself when I linked it to my email account. I figured the fairest thing to do is nuke all the messages sent ATM as there is no way I can read them all. Sorry guys but I'm just one person.

I s'pose I shouldn't have 'outed' myself on twitter but some of the crap some people were talking I mean I couldn't but. I mean people saying we were hermaphrodites, ate people and other such stupidity. Come on what would you do?

Right rant off.

The boss, Lady Sinie, is bricking her self over her appearance tonight. Not surprising I s'pose she's a diplomat and there are so many ways that could go wrong. But she has allot of experience pre-unification with the leefen foreign office.. OK this is the last time I'm doing this. She was the tall, black fured, feline looking one in the sari.

Tonight we are going for dinner with your ambassador in waiting and her staff, well other than Sinie and our media bod who are off to the tv studio.

Oh yeah I am on facebook and a few other places. You guys are cool.

I have other identities on line, you never know you might be talking to an ET ;==P

PS: I don't speak for my gov, etc, bla bla bla.

PPS: I have only noticed now that I have been caught by your media. I'm the vulpine in the background carrying a box of kit. I think I kinda look cute in that little black dress but I still think it makes my but look big.

PPPS: Where are the good pubs and clubs round here? A girl needs to have fun you know.

–
She friended a few people out of interest and in one case due to his name utterly failing to translate (it translated a limp...you can figure it).

OOC: Up to you if you want to continue a little people thread.

OCC: Have fun my friend. I also believe in the little wee people, I hope you saw my post 44 in Celtlund II s thread:

Do you believe in Leprechauns or other little people?

OOC: Up to you if you want to continue a little people thread.

OOC: By 'little people' I mean the people with out power. The cleaners, serving staff, people that work in the typing pool. Samintan is one of them, she has no degree or great skill, she has clearance only due to the fact she is on no interest. She is just a paper pusher and if you read what she wrote, it is apparent that she has little clue or concern as to the big picture.

OOC: Up to you if you want to pursue this with your only little person, but it can be fun as the people that actually do things (IRL people like you and me) quite often have a different view from the governments line.
