(from the idea by Motokata)

After it's destructive path through The Oligarchy of Motokata typhoon Akiko is now posing a direct threat to Ang Philippines. Having now spun into open seas, it is likely gaining strength and is sure to be very very dangerous. All preparations are being made but this is expected to be a hard hit. The State Media of A.P. will be the only operating Media for the time being and will keep the public posted. All citizens are now taking cover and all tourists and non-citizens are being evacuated.

TO ALL NATIONS WITH EMBASSIES:

Due to the storm danger your operations are being suspended. We advise you evacuate the country right away. Construction on new Embassies has also been suspended until recovery is achieved.

Our Country has an Aircraftcarrier (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3007/hrmskareldoormanjy1.jpg) in the region, with onboard several Grumman Tracker (http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/assets/images/0777_mld46__g_haas_.jpg)'s. They will be used to evacuate the whole delegation out of the area to our Aircraftcarrier, who is out of the "typhoon Area"

We hereby also request Militairy back-up for our Security personnel at the embassy, as safety procaution against raides and riots etc...

To: The Government of The Kingdom of Ang Philippines
From: Central Command Of The Wolf Hold

Dear Sir/Madame

As of yet we do not have an embassy in your nation. Something we hope to rectify soonest. However to the matter at hand, we have heard about this Typhoon heading towards your nation, we wish to offer you the services of the 12th Medical Command and elements of the 45th Military Police Group. Both units have recently just undergone a training course in natural disaster management. Whilst the name of the military police group may sound foreboding, they are not actually equipped to act as a policing unit. Whilst they are armed they actually specialise in organising disaster relief operations. Our units can be deployed as soon as we receive permission from your government.

Commander Mark Jackson
Central Command

To: The Government of The Kingdom of Ang Philippines
From: The Department of Defens, The Grand Duchy of Noordeinde

Dear Sir, Madam,

Because of the fact that The Grand Duchy of Noordeinde already has several Navy vessels in this region, we like to help as well with this natural disaster. Next to our aircraftcarrier (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3007/hrmskareldoormanjy1.jpg) we have a Rotterdam class amphibious transport dock ship (http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/rotterdam/images/rott19.jpg) in the area. This ship is equiped with a full hospital, and can carry up to 600 Marines who can support the Ang philleppines authories on the ground as well with "natural disaster management" or supply medical aide.

I honestly believe that we can make a succes of this operation by working with the Wolf Hold authorities and Ang Philleppines authorities.

Our units can be deployed as soon as we receive permission from your government.

Sincerrely Yours,
Collin Powel
Secretary of Defens
The Grand Duchy of Noordeinde

We want to thank all nations who are willing to help in the post storm recovery. As we mentioned we are working on evacing all non-citizens from the country for their safety as well as keeping simplicity in tallying survivors, casualties and to help find missing people. Any further help you can lend to us, is greatly appreciated.

Truly,

King Jozefo Yamashita XLV


--------------------

As the skies darkened and filled with lighting, everyone fled to shelters and homes. At most risk were going to be people near the coast lines, farmers, and fishers especially. The palm trees began swaying and cracking in the wind as the typhoon slowly approached the coast.

Helicopters were doing runs to get people safely to nearby Air Craft Carriers

The commander of the Hr.Ms Karel Doorman (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3007/hrmskareldoormanjy1.jpg) made contact with The Ang Phillepine authorities, to make clear that his ship couldn't take more people afther the whole Diplomatic delegation that just landed afther being evacuated out of the country.

He told the Ang Phillepine as well that the Hr.Ms Johan de Witt (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bihlClbJ4zQ/RmwnMqAKcMI/AAAAAAAAANs/WsUcU2ZArmc/s400/L800%2BRotterdam.jpg) was ready to receive the first casualties of the Typhoon in it's onboard hospital.

From The Oligarchy of Motokata:

After taking the hit from Typhoon Akikio we will most certainly help you out! We will send medical aid and clean up crews to help AP recover from the storm's wrath. Our Stateholder Oda will be visiting you as well immediately after.

Zinare:

We ask you allow us to evac your personal. It is far to dangerous and we do not have the runway or airport to support a plane of your magnitude. With the rapid approach of this storm you may not be able to take off in time. We are continuing the evacuations and please ask that all nations trust we are doing everything we can.

To:Lady Valérie Bardet, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Zinaire
From: The office of The Secretary of Defense, The Grand Duchy of Noordeinde

Dear madam Bardet,

As you alteady might have heard, my country has 2 navy vessels in the region. They are both out of the storm area. I hereby offer you to evacuate your diplomatic mision to our aircraftcarrier Hr.Ms Karel Doorman (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3007/hrmskareldoormanjy1.jpg). I guess you only evacuate all staff exept for your security personnel who will secure your Embassy building through these hard days.

I have spoken with the captain of the Hr.Ms Karel Doorman (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3007/hrmskareldoormanjy1.jpg), he told me that he has one dormitory left onboard with 15 beds.

He also told me that he can assign 2 Grumman Trackers (http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/assets/images/0198_tracker_165.jpg) (both with each 8 seats) to the capitol cities airport to pick up your Ambassador, the diplomatic staff and support staff and evacuate them to his ship untill the storm is over.

Please let us know if you would like to accept this offer.

Sincerely Yours

http://img.skitch.com/20080918-prnh4g6bfuxbritujb8p7nf4rr.png

To: Collin Powel

We are very grateful for your assistance. We will certainly take you up on your offer and evacuate the ambassador and civilian staff to the Hr.Ms Karel Doorman. Our personnel will depart immediately to rendez-vous with your planes at the airport.

Again, we sincerely thank you and your nation for your assistance. You have truly done a great service to the Republic today.

Minister of Foreign Affairs

Zinairian Embassy, Ang Philippines

As soon as the embassy got the phone call from the FA, it burst into action. The ambassador spoke quickly and loudly to the assembled staff:

"All civilian staff will be evacuated to a friendly aircraft carrier. Unfortunately, there is no room for military staff and they must stay here to protect the embassy. However, we need an armed escort to the airport," the ambassador pointed to three soldiers, "You three, stay behind, all others, get the cars ready. Dismissed."

The staff scattered and quickly gathered any personal necessities they had before hurrying to the garage. Shortly, the 23 people who would be leaving the embassy had been loaded into the SUVs and they screeched out of the garage with a blatant disregard for traffic laws.

To:Lady Valérie Bardet, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Zinaire
From:The office of The Secretary of Defense, The Grand Duchy of Noordeinde

Dear madam Bardet,

Our Nations have great diplomatic bands, you have an embassy in our country and we have an embassy in your great country of Zinaire.

We heard via diplomatic channels that one of your government aircrafts had to withdraw because it was to dangerous to land with such a big jet at the airport, and by that you couldn't evacuate your diplomatic mission.

I believe as befriended countries that we should support eachother in "bad" times. And therefore I'm glad that I have your permission to evacuate your personnel to the Hr.Ms Karel Doorman. (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3007/hrmskareldoormanjy1.jpg)

To The Grand Duchy of Noordeinde:

We appreciate your helping us in the evacuation of needed personal from the embassies. We've told our ships to keep a close watch out for you so no accidents occur as the weather get's worse. Please keep all lights at full brightness so that all sea craft will be able to spot you. Also keep an eye out for any civilian fishing ships that may be caught in the storm.

Thank you,

Dear Sir, Madam

I made an imideat cal with both captains of my 2 navy vessels, and gave order to put on al identification lights.

I heard from the captain of my aircraftcarrier, Hr.Ms Karel Doorman (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3007/hrmskareldoormanjy1.jpg), that he has no place for any other diplomatic delegations, but he will assign several helicopters (http://www.freewebs.com/picturerobbert/Lynx%20RNN.jpg) to help with the evacuation to other "safe houses"

Than I spoke with the captain of the Hr.Ms Johan de Witt (http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/rotterdam/images/rott19.jpg), he as well will put on all identification lights. He told me as well that his ship, with onboard hospital, with operation room, intensive care and recovery rooms is ready to receive the first wounded people.

And afcourse we will keep an eye open for all fishery ships, and we will rescue (http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/9/2/3/0923329.jpg) them if nessecary.

Sincerely Yours

(guess a little character RP can be included)

Not far from the northern coast was a small fishing/farming village. They too were preparing for the storm. Mika was helping her mother board up the windows to their small cottage. "Getting bad, Mama!" She said looking at the sky. "I know sweetheart, we just need to hope for the best." Rain quickly began falling and thunder crashed.

"Mama!" The younger sister called. Noriko was a small girl no more than 5 years old.

"Noriko, stay inside baby!"

"It will be okay, we'll be in soon! Ma, what about Taikagi? He hasn't returned to port."

Takagi was her older twin brother and the provider for the family. He fished and sailed to ports to make a living for them.

"I just hope he's gotten into a safe port. Let's get inside quickly."

ooc bit of character RPing would keep the thread alive ,i would do something but i just need Motokata okay

(You mean you need Motokata to co-RP? Which I'm sure Moto be good with)

ooc oh that too when it get to that part, no i need the okay to the message my lot sent

As the SUVs approached the airport, the head of security tried to convince the ambassador to take some security with him.

"Sir, we can't just give you to some strangers totally unarmed."

"They're friendly sailors. I'll be perfectly safe."

"At least take my pistol, sir."

"I'm not taking your pistol. You'll probably need it more than I will what with looters and all."

"I do not intend to shoot any looters, sir."

"Then don't, but you're not coming with us and I'm not taking your pistol."

The soldier crossed his arms and shut up as the cars pulled onto the nearly deserted tarmac. Everyone stayed in the car so as not to get wet as they waited for the planes to arrive.

Against the darkend skies flew six HH-60H "Rescuehawks" of the Wolf Hold Marine Corps. Dipping slightly in the prevaling wind they approched the Islands of Ang Phillipines. The strobe lights on the bottom of the fuselage flashing illuminating the ground as the helicopters came in low.

"Voodo 5 this is Voodo 1, I think I spotted a fishing boat lost to sea over to my 7 o'clock, could you do a fly by and see if we can help, over"

"Solid Copy Voodo 1, Voodo 5 is en-route"
The HH-60H dipped again and turned back towards the sea, activating the searchlight underslung under the cockpit and began sweaping the tossing and turning seas.

"Mike, have you got anything? I am seeing nothing my side, switching to NVG"

"NVG might be the best, I cant see anything with this damned searchlight"

As the SUVs approached the airport, the head of security tried to convince the ambassador to take some security with him.

"Sir, we can't just give you to some strangers totally unarmed."

"They're friendly sailors. I'll be perfectly safe."

"At least take my pistol, sir."

The soldier crossed his arms and shut up as the cars pulled onto the nearly deserted tarmac. Everyone stayed in the car so as not to get wet as they waited for the planes to arrive.

it didn't take long for the planes to arrive, and they landed in formation on the only runway that was in use. Afther touch down the 2 Grumman Tracker (http://pictures.werkenbijdemarine.nl/gallerie/maritiem/marhist_high_jpg/Grumman%20Tracker%20.jpg)'s taxied to the deserted tarmac and to the black suv's of the Zinairian delegation.

On the Tarmac the pilots shut the engines down and opened the doors. Both co-pilots stepped out of the planes and made a run towards the suv's because we had to evacuate fast because of the weather that was going to become worse.

We appreciate your offer to help, but feel it isn't needed at this time. The Royal Philippine Government has ensured us they will get our staff out. Please, if any help will be needed it will be in the post storm time.

Out at sea was the small fishing/trading vessel the Espiritu ng Hangin. The young female captain Makiko-Yin Lee was struggling to keep her ship afloat in the harsh seas. She was hoping to beat the storm into port when they left the Southern Peninsula. Taikagi was her first mate. "Maki? She gonna hold?"

"I hope to dear God she will. This is too big for your garden storm, we must have sailed right into a typhoon."

Thunder crashed as water toppled onto them.

"Very likely, it's too strong for a gale. What are the odds any other ships would be in the water?"

"Extremely unlikely. We did a pretty late run for the season. We're out of the normal international trade and travel routes. All A.P. ships are hunkered down for the season, especially if a typhoon is going to strike."

Now it seemed hopeless. There was a box of flares but would anyone see them? He picked a bunch up.

"What are you doing?"

"I have to try."

"Those are expensive dammit!"

"Yeah, but if we're going to die, makes no difference."

"Ok, just be careful! I can't lose my best mate!"


Out on the deck as the other sailors attempted to hold things steady and keep themselves from toppling over he climbed the mast and set off a flare. He lit up the others and placed them where ever they would hold to illuminate the boat. If any passer buys were in the area they would see them.

The 2 Grumman Trackers (http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/assets/images/0334_164_mad-boom__cillekens_.jpg) who just landed at he Capitol Cities Airport of Ang Phillepines to pick up the Zinairian Delegation, had seen this fishery vessel while they were underway to the shore, they imidiatley called in for an airlift rescue! they gave the coordinates and flew further to rescue "the zinarian ambassador in the stress"

Our thoughts and our prayers are with the people of Ang Philippines we pledge humanitarian aide as soon as the storm passes. People will be come to help rebuild and many charties will donate. The Government would also like to pledge 250 million USD to the relief aid for A.P.


------------------------

Atoli was on her bed watching the news of the storm approaching the small country of A.P. Eeri was tornado country, she wasn't stranger to how scary and mean nature often is.

"Papa! Pa!" She ran to find him.

"You've heard the news of Ang Philippines ?"

"Yes sweetie I have. Eeri is going to pledge money and time."

"I want to help!"

"Help?"

"I wanna go there after the storm and help clean up, rebuild homes, and stuff."

"I don't know, Atoli..."

"Pa, they need help. It's the Christlike thing to do isn't it?"

"You're right. Okay, but have a plain cloths Body Guard go with you, okay? Just say he's your brother or father."

"I know, I know how to go incog. I'll pack up so I can go right away."

Mika sat with her sister in her arms in front of a small lantern. Their mother paced peering out the exposed portions of what wasn't covered on their small wood cottage.

"See the flame is a dancer. It moves with the air." Mika said to her little sister. She gave her a kiss. "Mama?"

"Yeah, dear?"

She knew what was on her mind but she for some reason had nothing to say.

"When do you suppose this'll let up?"

"Hopefully soon, babe." She sighed. She was still worried for her son. She knew he was a skilled sailor but still it concerned her

Sovereign ship

"radar contact 859"said the crewman looking at the screen

"look out what can you see"said the Officer on watch

"can't see jack to little light for to see anything sir"answer the look out

"call the captain and fire a Starshell"said Officer as he picked up the ships phone and talked to the Captain

Captain Marta went over the weather reports and military activity in the area.

"If any air crews are searching, the lighting will interfere with their night vision"

"So will any shelling explosions."

"Right. Better put out an announcement." She got onto the wire and began radioing.

"Attention all ships please refrain from flash shelling, it may cause flash blindness in night vision search and rescue. Out."

ooc you have no idea what going on or where my ships are

ooc you have no idea what going on or where my ships are

then you need to post more detail otherwise don't apply it. You can't possibly think you can park a load of military ships off my coast and not have us notice it

ooc what part of Sovereign ship did you miss clearly it happening on the ship and where did i post that anything been fired, there just the order ,but NO follow up of it happening and where did i say i was off your coast , everyone else is but i have said nothing about going near you only just go into the storm

ooc what part of Sovereign ship did you miss clearly it happening on the ship and where did i post that anything been fired, there just the order ,but NO follow up of it happening

WTF do you mean? Sovereign Ship means nothing to me it's a name, to me it's the name of a ship that's apparently nowhere! You need to post more detail otherwise I can't respond to your post.

ooc i'am not posting to you you don't need more detail as i not doing anything YET that need you to post to

ooc i'am not posting to you you don't need more detail as i not doing anything YET that need you to post to

then why are you posting if I or any of the other players can't respond yet? Don't waste my time

ooc you stop to think i'am working up to something ?

As soon as the planes touched down, the doors of the SUVs burst open and the diplomats jumped out. As the ambassador crossed the tarmac, the chief of security pulled his hand into a firm shake.

"Good luck, sir."

"You as well, soldier. I think you'll need it more than I do. Stay safe."

The soldier saluted and, with that, the ambassador and the rest of the civilian staff greeted the flight crew as the soldiers climbed back aboard the SUVs and sat, waiting for the diplomats to be safely on their way.

all personnel boarded the 2 planes, the Ambassador was the last one to board the plane."Welcome onboard mister Ambassador, the Co-Pilot sad, your the last one to board the plane, and then were ready to take of!!" The ambassador boarded the plane and the co-pilot shut the door, and gave a little safety briefing.

Afther the safety briefing the co-pilot took his seat in the cockpit (http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/assets/images/0394_catgrip__coccoris_.JPG), and both pilots started the engines, both planes rolled to the runway and took off (http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/assets/images/0460a_tracker_160__henk_eldering_.jpg)in formation. But not before saluting the brave soldiers in the suv's

While climbing to the ideal flying hight the pilot made an anouncement;"Mister Ambassador first of all welcome onboard, it's an honor that I may be your pilot, we will fly for approximately 1, maybe 2 hours due the storm. Althoug the situation is not ideal but I hope you will enjoy your flight with the Noordeinde's Navy".

While flying back to the Hr.Ms Karel Doorman (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3007/hrmskareldoormanjy1.jpg), the 2 Grumman Tracke (http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/assets/images/0334_164_mad-boom__cillekens_.jpg)rs, with onboard the Zinairian delegation, flew over the same coordinates were they spotted that fisheryboat a couple of hours ago.

The pilots looked out for them but didn't spot them. But something strange happened their radios received an SOS message, a woman onboard of that fishery vessel calling for help.

The pilots made a decission, they had enough fuel for still a couple of hours and decided to search the area were they had seen that fishery vessel. The co-pilot of the plane with the ambassador onboard informed the Ambassador of what was going on.

The Ambassador didn't look to amused, but he understood why the pilots wanted to search the area.

Afther an hour the pilots gave up the search because otherwise they would run out of fuel and had to return to their aircraftcarrier.

The pilots gave through the coordinates of were they received their last SOS message, and started to return on course to the Hr.Ms Karel Doorman (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3007/hrmskareldoormanjy1.jpg).

Baker one take off and head to 859

minutes later after having climbing in and starting it the helicopter. up,the crew took off from the deck of the ship and fly towards the heading given to them

Back at sea the storm intensified even worse. The flairs were dying slowly and the waves were growing. The ship taking on water, far too much for the pumps to keep up.

Taikagi couldn't help but look at a picture he kept with him, his two sisters and him self. He loved his family but it was beginning to look as though he wouldn't see them again now.

"It's no use." The captain said. "She's just not going to hold any longer. Abandon while you can."

"What about you?"

"A captain always goes with his ship." She kissed him. "Good luck, God Speed."

He put on a life vest and jumped into the raging sea. As the last of the flairs suffed out he saw the shadow of the boat vanish into the waves.


----


On land Mika Noriko and their mother had fallen asleep. The lone lantern was still burning a little bit of candle light. The sound of clanking wood snapped Mika awake. She moved over to the boarded window and saw it swaying, ready to snap off and it did. The window pane went with it and water began rushing in. "Mama!"

"Here sweetie." She pulled her two daughters close to her. The wall soon collapsed and the roof was blown off. Now it was the three girls against the savage wind. They moved somewhere anywhere for shelter. The hunkered down in a cluster of toppled trees. The mother started praying for her and her daughter's salvation and safety.

It would be accurate to say that the ambassador was not pleased that the planes had taken a detour to perform a search and rescue. He had very firm philosophies about what one does when they have VIPs on board and searching for fisherman in a typhoon was not one of those things. However, his common sense also lent him some very strong philosophies about what one should say to foreign soldiers rescuing him from a typhoon: Complaining was not one of these things.

Out at sea was the small fishing/trading vessel the Espiritu ng Hangin. The young female captain Makiko-Yin Lee was struggling to keep her ship afloat in the harsh seas. She was hoping to beat the storm into port when they left the Southern Peninsula. Taikagi was her first mate. "Maki? She gonna hold?"

"I hope to dear God she will. This is too big for your garden storm, we must have sailed right into a typhoon."

"What are you doing?"

"I have to try."

"Those are expensive dammit!"

"Yeah, but if we're going to die, makes no difference."

"Ok, just be careful! I can't lose my best mate!"


Out on the deck as the other sailors attempted to hold things steady and keep themselves from toppling over he climbed the mast and set off a flare. He lit up the others and placed them where ever they would hold to illuminate the boat. If any passer buys were in the area they would see them.

The HH-60H swung around once more. Even with the NVGs it was almost immpossible to see anything in the storm. The winds were picking up and soon it would be way to dangerous to fly, even for a modified rescue helicopter like the HH-60H.

"Cheif I got nothing, we can't stay here for too much longer otherwise they will be needing a SAR bird for us"

"I know, okay everyone close up we are going........wait...in the distance, flares! Okay scratch that last order, prepare for rescue divers!" Cheif Warrant Officer Chareleston flicked on the powerful search beams on the front of the HH-60H and pointed it in the direction of the flares. "This is Voodo 5 to SAR Command, possible ship in distress, G125564, H124994 requesting support."

"SAR Command to Voodo 5, we are re-directing Raccon 4 to the grid square, hurry up the typhoon isn't far out"

"Got that SAR Command..." Chareleston killed the link and went towards the ship as fast as he dared. Sadly he was too late.....the ship went under the waves as they reached its position. "Shit! Anyone get off that thing! Come one someone be down there!" The crew of Voodo 5 swept the searchlights over the ocean and kept a look out with there NVGs.

ooc Wolf Hold you read the post a page back you would know there people in the water

Tai bobbed up and down in the waves. Not a single one of his ship mates seemed to be around. So he was truly on his own. His life vest was the basic kind you take out on a day of boating. Most modern vests have either strobes or some other modern marvel. His didn't. Outside of the usual reflective strips. Suddenly he saw a beam of light, was he going to the other side? Either way he made a swim for it hoping the light wouldn't vanish. He made it into the beam before it began another sweep around. He looked up into the powerful beam not sure what he would sea, Heaven? Hell? A spaceship if such things existed? Now the reflective tape on his vest were glaring

Baker to Sierra we at 859 and it's a shipping container that fallen of some ship floating here

"best take care of it before it rips into side of a ship"said the Captain as he enter the room

"sir order weapons free?"asked the officer on watch

"yes tell baker to sink it before the dam thing damages any ships"

Sierra to Baker weapons free sink it before it sink anyone

Safe and sound inside the royal palace designed to withstand this punishment Mimiru the Princess crept into her older brother's room. Her parents were in the "War Room" Coordinating the planned recovery aftermath program. So it was her and her brother, Rosito

"Can't sleep either?" he asked taking her close to him.

"It's scary." She whispered.

"Yeah." He agreed. "We're going to have a lot of work to do. Mother and Father will need all our help. So will our citizens."

"I'll clean and clean and clean! And I'll, I'll give some of my dresses to the Church, and to any one who want's them."

"Good good. Mother and Father would like that."

It would be accurate to say that the ambassador was not pleased that the planes had taken a detour to perform a search and rescue. He had very firm philosophies about what one does when they have VIPs on board and searching for fisherman in a typhoon was not one of those things. However, his common sense also lent him some very strong philosophies about what one should say to foreign soldiers rescuing him from a typhoon: Complaining was not one of these things.

The pilot made an announcement to the Ambassador; "sir if you look outside you can see our destination, the Hr.Ms Karel Doorman (http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/assets/images/0329_zicht_op_kd__coccoris_.jpg), isn't she a beauty?! Sir were going around (http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/assets/images/1063_charlie_model.JPG) and and then were going to start landing".

The planes went around the ship and the plane with the Ambassador started it's final approach to the deck (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e/Final_approach_to_HMAS_Melbourne.jpg). "ladies and gentlemen, please fast in your seatbelts and rase for impact, landing on a carrier is kinda rough"

The plane started to decend, and the pilots came closer and closer to the deck. And finnaly made it's rough landing onboard (http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/assets/images/1914__wave-off__joep_.JPG) of the Hr.Ms Karel Doorman (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3007/hrmskareldoormanjy1.jpg).

The pilots shutted of the engines, flapped in the wings (http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/assets/images/1054_landing_s2a_o.JPG) and opened the door for the Zinarian delegation. The captain welcomed him onboard. The both of them watched a few minutes later the landing of the second plane land with the other part of the delegation.

General Castro-Stalina leaned across the pilot's face to look out his window. The whirling propellors seemed only centimeters away. "Well, the typhoon left the beaches nice and clean in some places."

"Set her down?" the pilot asked, his voice slightly muffled by her left breast.

"Sorry, Joe," she smiled. She moved back a bit and strained on tiptoes to see out. "No. Not much we can do right here but bust a tire, by the look of it. See if you can raise anybody on the radio."

Joe Kona was the aircraft commander but the General had such stature - even if she couldn't see out the windows - that he felt any Fatatatutian would follow her to hell and back - if there was a hell. He cracked the mike, "C-130 Victor Charlie Triple Six. Anyone on the air in Ang Philippines?" He wasn't much of a stickler for protocol. "C-130 Victor Charlie Triple Six. Anyone on the air? Over."

"Keep trying," the General said. "If you don't get an answer in ten minutes, take her home."

"C-130 Victor Charlie Triple Six. Anyone there?"

An Noordeinde's Navy Grumman Tracker (http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/assets/images/0334_164_mad-boom__cillekens_.jpg), that operated from the Hr.Ms Karel Doorman (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3007/hrmskareldoormanjy1.jpg), intercepted the Fatatatutti's C-130 and made contact.

"This is Kilo Delta Golf 05, welcome friends from Fatatatutti, great that your here, you can quite say that your help is really appriciated, we will lead you to the airstrip."

"Victor Charlie Triple Six. We read you, Kilo Delta Golf 05. We don't actually have any aid supplies on board. We're just passing through." Pilot Joe Kona looked up at the General and she nodded. "We do have General Castro-Stalina on board, however. Is there any benefit in her landing to look over the situation? We don't want to get in the way of anybody doing something useful. Over."

"Victor Charlie Triple Six for Kilo Delta Golf 05, Copy that. I guess it would be the good to have a look around on the ground before supplying aide, so landing could be usefull, but air-surveillance might be good as well to see the whole situation from above, it's your choice. Over."

The forard air control unit at FHQ Savage had also picked up the Fatatatutti C-130. After alerting the ground crew on the airfield and the base commandant, the air controller contacted the C-130. "This is FHQ Savage air control to Victor Charlie Triple Six, we have you on our scope, be advised we have storm clouds to your east. Please state your cargo"

"Noordeinde Navy Grumman Tracker (http://www.vlaggeschipsmaldeel5.nl/assets/images/0334_164_mad-boom__cillekens_.jpg) ,Kilo Delta Golf 05, for FHQ Savage Air Control, we just intercepted Victor Charlie Triple Six, what are the options due the heavy storm clouds from the east."

"Victor Charlie Triple Six. We have no useful cargo, repeat, no useful cargo." Joe Kona looked up at the General as she stuck her tongue out at him. "We have insufficient fuel for extended surveillance. Given the weather situation, our best bet is to continue on course for Fatatatutti. Over."

"FHQ Savage air control to Kilo Delta Golf 05 and Victor Charlie Triple Six due to increasing storm conditions, recomend you RTB or land at the FHQ Savage airstrip, be advised prevaling winds near the storm are put at 130 knots. The storm appears to be due east about 14 km away and approaching"

"Victor Charlie Triple Six for Kilo Delta Golf 05, Copy that, We are going to run out of fuel and are going back to our base onboard of the Hr.Ms karel Doorman (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3007/hrmskareldoormanjy1.jpg), so I guess our ways split here, have a Good journey flying back home, Over and Out."

"FHQ Savage Air Control, we copy your message, and we will retrieve back to our base onboard of our aircraft carrier,Over."

"Roger that, FHQ Savage. No sense in us parking in your driveway and eating you out of house and home. We'll be returning to the sunny shores of Fatatatutti. Best of luck to you and Kilo Delta Golf 05. Keep your heads down. Over and out."

"Kilo Delta Golf 05 for Victor Charlie Triple Six, thank you, we hope to see you soon again in the Ang Phillepines, Over and Out."
