It began at dawn, hundreds of people appearing on the streets in St. Dominic shouting various slogans. Death to the Blasphemer! , Kill The false Catholic Noone knew where they came from, some seemed to have been bused there from other nations but the crowds grew bigger and people kept coming.

By noon thousands of people were listening to a leader standing up, holding a speech to the masses. The Iesus Christian forces were nowhere present and a few security people stayed passive and well away from the crowd.

"God is Great! God loves this nation! God loves his people! Grace to God and Gods grace to us. God love this nation but something is amiss in the paradise. Like a snake the nation of St. Dominic has recieved a Cysta, a cancer in the middle of paradise. Like a bloated parasite the blasphemer has put its teeth into the holy St. Dominican soil. Not only this! But we now also knows that the false blasphemers are trying to seduce our children. Our children! This cannot be! They have no place in this paradise, they deserve a place in the fiery pits of hell! And we are going to help Gods will in putting them there. Death to the unbelievers!"

"Death to the unbelievers!!"

Iesus Christi is an interesting nation :D

Father John Luther lead his mob with some pride, he was sure their chating was the best and most devout, after all Iesus Citizens are the most 'God focused' . SATO called it differently...they'd call them the most stupid but Father John KNEW differently, what matter earthly 'learning' when the kingdom was at hand! As they marched on, the mob grewer larger and bolder, chanting more and more hatred about the hated SATO Syskeyia heretics
As they neared the 'Filthy Quarter where the foriegn devils housed their embassys of hate' , Father John raised his megaphone to his mouth and addresed the crowd and embassy staff.
"O Reich....Advent is upon us....and in the words of the great ones....
Prepare yea the way for the Lord!
Remove the Blasphemer! Destroy the heretic Syskeyia!
BUT...as our great King and saviour Jesus Christi would want... a gesture of Christmas Christian charity in his name..
the heretic Syskeyia embassy staff can surrender and face the truth of God!"
The mob roared and cheered and much to Father Johns pleasure, he noted the nearby Iesus troopers cheered him too..

Thousands of people gathered outside the gates of the Syskeyian embassy. They screamed for the blood of the blasphemer the cancer within their paradise. They cheered for their leader, father John Luther, and shook the gates screaming for the veiled foreign deamons to come out and face Gods Truth. Rumours spread like a bushfire through the crowd that the devils had taken innocent children as hostage inside the embassy and were performing horrendous rites on them while the military could do nothing. Screams of hatred were raised towards the dark building on the other side of the gates.

Disturbing... Very disturbing, well at least I know now NOT to vacation in the Reich.

damm multiposts!

These riots concern the Lietuv population greatly, and we hope that the situation may be resolved quickly and peacefully without bloodshed. These are clearly Christian extremists that have no place in mainstream Christianity.

On the bumper of a car driving by it said "Honk if you hate Heathens!"

<tag> :twisted:

"Christus vincit! Christus regnat! Christus imperat!
Syskeyia is the enemy of God...as we speak in that embassy on the black mass altar they defile images of the blessed virgin with the fluids of their bodies while kidnapped children are forced to sing songs to Satan !
how many more children need to vanish into their hands before the evil is stopped!
The most blessed feast of our Lords birth is upon us ! let us honour our Lord by destroying the filth that is Syskeyia!
let the heavens rejoice , and let the earth be glad, because the kingdom is at hand....Glory ! Glory!"
Just then....John heard the rumble , a rumble familar to most Iesus citizens...
Armour..
Stopping his rant for a moment, John half thought Iesus armour had moved into 'break up' the protest..but instead the first Iesus heavy tank to round the corner simply stopped, several of its crew climbed out and lounged on the tank turret. The next tank did the same, some of her crew even waved....
John smiled and continued...
"The KINGDOM IS AT HAND..DEATH TO SYSKEYIA!"

listening to John Luthers speech people started throwing rocks and anything they could lay their hands on at the building that was focus of their attention. People around quickly joined and the bombardment started to hit and smash windows of the buildings. Hundreds of people could be heard shouting:

Death to Syskeyia, Death to the blasphemer! Free the kids!

One stone threw through the air and landed on the roof of the embassy with a loud Bump!

The Syskeyian Embassy in St. Dominic- Click for larger picture

"Death to the blasphemers, you say?" sneered a Syskeyian embassy guard to the mob. "That'd be great, but we're not allowed to shoot first!"

"Don't encourage them, Private Swahn" should the certain guard's seargent through his ultrasonic bullhorn. The mob could not hear a thing the seargent said; to the soldiers with their "hearing aids," however, it was all to clear.

"How did it come to this?," mused the Syskeyian ambassador to himself as he picked up a microphone and addressed the crowd.

"Greetings, denizens of the Reich and fellow Christians! Let me first assure you that Syskeyia has committed none of the evils that some people have told you we have. I swear before God and man that we are not defiling the Blessed Virgin or any image of her in any way. Nor do we blaspheme our Lord, the saints, or anyone who is holy and good. We do not pray to Satan; on the contrary. Satanism is illegal in the Republic of Syskeyia.

"As for our Catholicism, let me note that the Church in Syskeyia affirmed the primacy of the Pope even during the centuries that it was cut off from all contact with Christendom. We are just as Catholic today as we were back then: divorce, abortion, and adultery are illegal, we affirm all the teachings of the Holy Father and his Master, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

"Or is it that some demon has given you them impression that being truly faithful to Christ and the Catholic faith involves slaughtering dissidents, murdering elves, and torturing those who do not bow down to the false gods of fascism. However, those demons should be reminded that those who committed the aforementioned three deeds serve not God, but the devil.

"Still, this gathering intrigues me. Protests like this are usually the result of some specific incident or controversy. Tell me, why are you here?"

As the ambassador finished his speech, the Syskeyian soldiers attached their bayonets to their rifles. Those with anti-tank missiles aimed toward the Iesus tanks. The soldiers then loaded smoke and tear gas hand/rifle grenades onto their rifles. Their orders were clear: wait and see the mob's reaction. If they got too rowdy, fire the smoke and tear gas in an attempt to disperse them.

If they used lethal force, return fire.

OOC: There are three companies guarding the embassy: two rifle companies and a heavy weapons company.

The embassy looks like a mansion, but it's been fortified (the windows are bulletproof and the walls are as strong as tank armor).

God bless,

The Republic of Syskeyia

A petrol bomb explodes near the speaker as the address to the crowd concludes, a nearby Eurusean man winding back from the throw. 'LIES!' he bellows, 'Satanists! Beastalists! Lovers of rats!' the crowd around him cheers, 'Death to the heathens of Syskeyia! Death to those who would enslave their women and worship evil idols of the foul rat-goddess!' he turns to the crowd, 'Oh, my glorious comrades, God commands that we strike down the unbelievers, for is it not written in the book of Leviticus, "And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword?" It is His holy will we drive the heretics from our soil! Who is with me, comrades?'

"They call Iesus christ a deamon"

"Death to the Blasphemers!"

Another molotov cocktail singled threw the air out from the crowd and landed amongst the soldiers in the courtyard with a soundly crash and then another from somewhere else in the crowd.

"DEATH! DEATH! DEATH TO THE LIARS!"


OOC: Ehh.. Syskeyia, do you really believe you are allowed to bring tanks into an embassy in The Reich or in any nation? You better check that out with Iesus.

Territorial culture is definitely has Christian roots - secularized, but its basic morality and ethics owe a lot to Lutheran and Latin American Christianity. Quite a lot to Calvinism, too... but let's not go into that.

So when the red tags go up, there's a sense of disquiet. Jesus wasn't that big on death death death after all.

Unlike a certain nation in the Reich inland, which will take a lot more interest in this affair.

OOC:Cant post now but can i say, far be it from me to say somethings daft but..
tanks...armoured companys...ummmmm no
never
ever
would we allow this....
ever
Infantry...yes...marines..yes...hundreds of soldiers,APCS and tanks etc...
no....

OOC:: OK, no tanks. Edited my post. Also, there's a cortyard between the embassy buildings and the streets, so the guys throwing bombs and cocktails must be Olympic athletes or better in order for those Molotov cocktails etc. to reach the embassy.

Also, Eurusea, where did you get the rat-worshipping beastiality idea?

IC:
The bombs exploded in the courtyard. Stay calm, the years of Captain Peter Khun's military training told him. Those bombs were trying to provoke them, make them kill someone. Not gonna happen,{/i] he though to himself.

But the mob [i]was getting too rowdy.

"Fire at will!" At this command, all the riflemen in Khun's company fired their smoke and tear gas rifle/hand grendades at the crowd, shining lasers near the mob's eyes in order to stun and disperse them.

OOC: The grenades were fired from rifles, and Khun's company is near the embassy gates.

God bless,

The Republic of Syskeyia

OOC: Sorry bout that, I just looked at the picture and thought it looked the same with the building 10-15 meters from the fence. I edited the molotovs to land among your soldiers instead.

IC:

The Chant grew stronger like a wind blowing up to storm.

"Death To the Blasphemer!"

On a hill about 300 meters away a lone man walked up to sit behind a tree with a suitcase.

Oooh, state-sponsored terrorism...

IC

The electronic message beamed through the direct connection lines from the Syskeyian Embassy in New Sydney to the office of the Foreign Minister. An aide studied the message then sent it with top priority to the Foriegn Minister himself, who recieved it via the computer terminal on his desk.

He printed it out and met the Governor on his way back from his Address to the Nation.

"Sir Reginald, we've just recieved a communique from the Syskeyian Embassy. Apparently their St. Dominic Embassy has been attacked by large crowds screaming the usual Reich propaganda."

Sir Reginald waved at him irritably. "Frank, I've just declared martial law on Street Island, I can't pay attention to every little--"

"They say that Iesus Christi forces are standing by and not intervening."

Sir Reginald paused in midstep. "Oh. Well... shit. We don't have an Embassy in the Reich do we?"

"Er... not really..."

"Not really?"

"No, what we have is more of a post box... After the Akilliam incident we left in protest."

"I see. Well... inform Syskeyia that we're ready to help, whatever happens. Get in contact with Iesus Christi and tell them that no doubt they'll intervene immediately, as they cannot afford to let St. Dominic citizens attack an Embassy."

"Already done the latter."

"Yes? Good. Get General Garrison on the phone..."

A chant grew from amongst the small but growing group of north star muslims at the riot[mostly off-duty army personal and engineers from state runned sites] the group maybe small but they came anyhow to show the reich that syskeyia lies was a offensive to God fearing peoples.
"death from the muslim! death from the muslims! death from the muslims"
a cleric urged the group on in this chant, waving a AK above his head as he chanted along with his fellow reichers against the syskeyian blight.

The Crowds got more excited seeing the flames...
the time was near...
"DEATH TO SYSKEYIA!"

A entire brigade of Iesus tanks had now taken up behind the crowds facing the embassy, their crews still standing by watching the event. Many Iesus troopers even climbed onto the tanks to get a better view of the protest..

At the 'Christ the mighty king' airfield Iesus pilots walked to their attack helis, there was some confusion amongst them about what was happening...something about Syskeyian Child molestors eating kittens on a statue of the virgin mary while rats watch......something like that anyhow...

A TVC migrant walks past the riots and tags the lot of you.

The man on the hill, picked up something that looked like a coaled tube and then fastened another tube on top of it. Everyones attention seemed to be directed towards the embassy and the fires that the molotovs had caused amidst the soldiers. The man checked the tubes again, pressed something cubeshaped into the lower tube, picked up a comm radio and pressed the comm button twice. Suddenly the sound of gunshots were heard around the crowd. He slowly lowered the tube and with a wicked feeling opened fired on the Syskeyian soldiers and then on some people on the crowd. He saw one of the protestors head explode and a spray of blood wash over the protestors nearby. He fired a few more shots on the Syskeyian soldiers, aiming for the eyes and the necks, he was used at hitting goldballs on this distance. The whole thing was over in a few seconds, the man dropped the tube and started walking back towards a coffee shop nearby.

----

The confusion was complete as demonstrators fell and then suddenly the sounds of shots spread around the crowd. No one saw the fireworks being dropped in the crowd, but they all saw the men bleeding and dying.

"They're shooting at us! Kill the Blasphemers!"

The crowd started to break down the gates as hundreds of concrete blocks and molotovs were thrown at the Syskeyian soldiers.

OOC: What happened with the first petrolbombs that landed among the soldiers? And the guy on the hill uses Tephlon bullets, not exactly standard issue.

Ten Syskeyian soldiers are dead and/or wounded so far.

---

"They're openly assaulting the gates!"

"That's our cue, men! Open fire!"

The Syskeyian soldiers led down a hail of bullets upon the rioters, using lethal force and firing some rifle grenades. The anti-tank teams set their sights as the Iesus armored brigade. If Iesus Christi's tanks so much as showed the slightest hint of hostile intention, they would recieve a shower of Javelin anti-tank missiles.

Meanwhile, the embassy's four RAH-66 Comanches fired up and took off, ready for battle...

God bless,

The Republic of Syskeyia

"Onward, then, ye fearless band,
Heart to heart, and hand to hand;
Yours shall be the Christian's stand,
Or the martyr's grave!!!" Father John Luther screamed the words and urged the crowd onwards, Molotovs flung over their heads towards the hated enemy and shots from among teh crowd replied to the enemies violent attack...
"Not one step backwards! paradise awaits!"

"Sir, Syskeyian troops opened fire..."
General Smithe shock his head..."the fiends..."

To: Syskeyian Embassy
"you have violated Iesus Christi law, we demand the surrender of the embassy, should you fail to surrender we will storm the building...or the Mob will....
Yours in christ
General Smithe
Merry Christmas"

Meanwhile the Iesus troopers manned their armour, watching the mob continue to assualt the embassy, simply waiting for the order to move against the Embassy of hate...

OOC:Copters? Once again, this is a embassy not a army barrecks, can you really see us letting you bring in military copters? :)
rule of thumb:what would Iesus Christi do? should be applied :)
Ps:merry Christmas

'HEATHENS!' the leader of the Eurusean mob cried, 'Enemies to God! Destroy the blasphemers!'

And in a block of flats some distance from the Syskeyian Embassy...

The Red Commando awoke, standing as a voice whispered in her ear, 'The enemies to God will pay by your hand...Kill them...It is your duty to your comrades in The Reich...'

'Enemies to God...' she repeated to nobody, sounding half-asleep. She reached into the suitcase she hadn't opened since she arrived, and started pulling out components and piecing them together, knowing the order without even thinking, eventually slipping a heavy magazine into a completed anti-material rifle. She zeroed the sight, stepping over to the window as the voice in her head whispered:

And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them;

She took aim at one of the Syskeyian soldiers with anti-tank missiles, placing the sight over his launcher.

...Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them.

'Deuteronomy seven-two,' she said, and pulled the trigger.

Near to the Eurusean 'guests', a group of Cherubim was standing. They were here on some sort of educational trip, to see how other nations in The Reich work, and came just in time to witness the party.

Enemies of god, they are.
I heard they sodomise rats?
By the almighty... sinners they are...
The Lord shall smite them as he smote Sodom and Gomorrha!

And with a cry, a warcry, they begun their attack, stormed towards the walls of the embassy, their bioluminiszent foreheads glowing red, and the molotov cocktailsflew over the walls...

For they are the unbelievers, and the LORD will smite them, and WE are the LORDS hands, we are his tools...

WE shall eradicate the sin from the holy grounds of St. Dominic!

A group of Kochian migrants looked at the protest going on. Normally, they could care less about the fates of other people...until civilians started dying. A tall man, dressed like a lumberjack, but with baggy pants, took two steps forward and turned around, facing the other members of the group.

"My fellow believers! They are killing our holy brethern! And Thou shallt meet the fury of the blade with the righteous wrath of the Lord almight, so sayeth the Lord! We must help our people!"

"Death to the liars!"

"Kill the blasphemers!"

"Silence! Let me speak! I have heard rumours about these Syskeyians! They sodomize puppies in their dungeons! They use the bones of blue tits to eat their noodles! They poke out the eyes of each newly born baby with pointy sticks! Death come to them!"

"Off to kingdom come for them!"

The angry mob, now turned into a very angry mob, ran up to the scene. Most of them tucked in their gold chains while doing so, to prevent them from getting damaged. Others quickly readjusted their bandana's, because every self respecting protestor should look good, even in a fight.

After arriving at the scene, many of the Kochians drew a sidearm, as it was quite normal for them to go over the streets strapped. Firing shots at the Syskeyians, they aimed with the accuracy taught by a childhood in the streets of Koch.

"Death to the rat sodomizers!"

RE: St. Dominic Rioting

It has come to our notice that a riot is in progress in St. Dominic, outside the Syskeyian Embassy. We have reports that Iesus Christi troops are allegedly standing by and not intervening. If true, this contravenes a number of UN Resolutions concerning the security of Embassies and Ambassadorial Staff.

We are concerned as to the safety of the Syskeyian Embassy staff and strongly suggest that Iesus Christi, being the dominant security force in St. Dominic, investigate the situation and intervene for the security of the Embassy.

Respectfully yours,

Governor of Chimaea

NEWSFLASH!!

In the peaceful island of St. Dominic we have reports of a bloodbath taking place. It seems as if embassy personel has opened fire on demonstrators and now the situation has gone out of hand. OVer to our reporter in St. Dominic:

*Extremely well placed camera films demonstrators shouting at the Syskeyian embassy buildning. Suddenly shots are heard and demonstrators are falling, camera moves over to show the Syskeyian soldiers firing into the crowd.*

This is George Hendersson live from St. Dominic. *gunshots and screams is heard* We are witnessing one of the greatest crimes of all here in St. Dominic. What started as a peaceful demonstration escalated into complete riots after shots were fired from Syskeyian solders by order from their comanding officer saying: *Camera with sound shows officer "That's our cue, men! Open fire!" and shows the soldiers opening fire and the gates being stormed as men are falling in a hail of bullets. So far the Iesus soldiers have not interfered here in St. Dominic, but surely they cant turn a deaf ear to the deathcries of their own people being shot by heavily armed soldiers?

This is George Hendersson, Live from St. Dominic

http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Gym/5094/Usenet4.jpg

One of the Kochians is struck in the face by one of the enemy bullets. In a single blow, his right cheeck, eye and ear are ripped of his face, leaving behind a bloody mass of flesh and blood. Screaming, he is knocked back and falls on the ground, covering the bare arms of his brethern in blood as it sprays outof his face. For a moment, he lies still, the street around him slowly covering red, with the indicental white spot: remains of what was once his eye and the plasma in it.

Then, he slowly tries to crawl away from the scene, moaning softly in the process, clearly suffering from horrible pains. Somehow, he manages to escape the trampling feet of the mob without receiving further wounds. After half a minute, now having managed to crawl half way the Iesus tanks, one of his friends looks back and notices him.

Risking his own life, he runs up to the wounded man, and lifts him up, supporting him by the shoulder. The wounded man tries to thank his friend, but screams in agony as salt tears from what was once his eye hit the wounds in his face. Half a minute later, the two men arrive at the Iesus tanks.

"Please, help my friend. He is in pain! The infidels have tried to murder him!"

But it is too late. A wave of blood escapes from the wounded man, as he throws up his own blood and the content of his stomach. Immediately after, he dies. For a moment, his friend looks at him in an expression of ultimate sadness. Then, his eyes light up, and in Holy anger, he screams to the Iesus soldiers.

"You must help us! We are carrying out our Holy duty, and we are being slaughtered for it! You cannot stand by and watch. In the name of all that is Sacred, I beg you to stand by the voice of Faith and help us!"

Then, a short, sharp sound is heared, and the man sinks to the ground. Landing on his belly and face, the breaking of the bones in his face can be clearly heared. In the back of his neck, a small red hole, made by a Syskeyian bullet can be seen.

Tag. Have a nice day!

Jeruselem is disturbed by the chaos caused by rioters "in the name of God" as many of the participants are supposed to be Christians. We are keeping out of this unholy mess.

The rioters swarmed over the soldiers in the courtyard like a swarm of grasshoppers, leaving dozens of dead and wounded in their trail. Some of the wounded were stomped to death as more and more rioters pushed on to reach the building and the soldiers. They fought with sticks, concrete blocks, stones and machetes. There were even a few kalasjnikovs being fired. Their aim was the embassy to get in and rescue the poor children and destroy the evil Sodomizing rat men blasphemers dwelling inside.

In a backyard a few hundred meters away a very plainlooking man, started to put together two portable missilelaunchers aided by two other very plainlooking men.

To Lord Protector Matthew Iesus

I must insist that you enforce order around the area of the Syskeyian embassy. If necessary, I will get neutral parties to prepare a cease fire area to assist you. If further necessary, the Empire is prepared to assist her allies. This situation is getting out of control, and I urge you to prevent unecessary bloodshed and a dangerous international incident.

Iesus Government statement
It has come to our attention that a riot has broken out after Syskeyian troopers opened fire on a peaceful protest.
Such things cannot be allowed to occur in Iesus controlled lands...
therefore, A combined body is taking steps to see the most effiecent way of ending the 'troubles' outside the embassy and find out who is at fault for this terrible crime.....
and therefore the Syskeyian Embassy staff/troopers are NOT to leave the embassy grounds, via ground or air...or they will be treated as criminals fleeing the scene of a crime..
Yours in Christ
Merry Christmas

"GOD IS GREAT!" The crowd surged onwards, death meant nothing , only freeing the children mattered!

Ontop of a Tank a Iesus soldier yelled at his commander...
"sir we've gotta DO something!"
"quite right lad!"
The tank commander withdrew his pistol and threw it to a screaming protestor "God speed, kill one for us!"
"SIR!!!!!! "
the commander looked at his gunner...
"jeeez you're right! what am I thinking...."
The commander frowned, climbed of his tank and run off...
Not long latter he and another man returned dragging a box...
"There ya go! just got 'em from our supply truck! "
The commander cracked open the box "ak-47s for everyone! well...atleast 20 people anyhow...but never fear more is coming! MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

ISSAPC Flight 530,Federal Military Base at Staten Island Naval Base.:

The single transport was fueled and ready to lift off. On her sides were painted red crosses of international aid. Picking up from the launchpad the transport raced skyward and into lower orbit to make the trip go by much faster.They would not enter St Dominic Air Space, however they would hover 12 nautical miles out and await the go word from Naval Headquaters.

To the nations of the Reich:
From:Secretary of State: Joseph Cortilliari

We find it interesting that Reich nations allowed such a thing to occur...it is our experiance that there is no such thing as a "peaceful protest" unless it suits the Reich government. However that is not in the here or now. A single transport carrying medical supplies is on its way to the Syskeyian Embassy. I dont need to remind any of you nations what international law states about Embassies right? They are safe ground and are considered territory of said nation.

Hence forth, the transport clearly marked with the international relief sign will proceed to the Embassy and remove dead and wounded. The others will stay pending NEUTRAL investigation of the matter at hand. If you deny this request the transport will continue to the Syskeyian embassy anyway. And if you shoot an unarmed medical transport it will be an act of war. We expect the Reich nations to have contained their murdurous mobs by the time our transport arrives to begin taking on the wounded. Merry Christmas, and god be with you.

ISSAPC Flight 530, This is fighter wing Yazz Alpha Yazz, You are hereby denied access to Reich airspace, I repeat, denied access. We have orders to stop you from entering Reich territory in case of you violating it and we DO have clearance to use deadly force. Either turn back or await further instructions, Do NOT try to enter Reich territory, I repeat, Do NOT try to enter Reich Territory. We are not recognising your vessel as medical transport but as a potential escape vehicle for criminals. Over and Out.

Wing commander Jack Vreeswijk checked his wing mates one more time. He would let the politician handle whatever situation there was in St. Dominic, but his orders was clear and he liked them. He would sure as hell not let an enemy SATO airplane enter Reich Territory. He knew what kind of weapons so called unarmed planes could carry over nations. HIs wing started to form an escort formation preparing for the enemy vessels answer.

"Our day of glory is upon us. Time to do God's work." James looked away from the plain looking men in the courtyard of the Syskeyian Embassy. He turned towards his comrades, his team of freedom fighters for God's will on earth. The small but efficient group of twelve men and women clustered around James. Their faces were peaceful...radiant almost.

Today they were not dressed in their grey jumpsuits, nor bore the armband insignia of The CLA, The Christian Liberation Army, a white cross on a black backround. No, today would be different...it was the day they would fufill their purpose on earth.

Seek out and destroy the heathen sodomites. For the Glory of God. By any means necessary. They had heard this doctrine ever since they could remember.

"Angels of Justice, move out. You know what must be done."

The small team went into formation. James slid behind the wheel of a battered Volkswagon Beetle while Marianne, a young woman no older than her late teens, climbed into the passenger side. The other operatives joined the crowd of Syskeyians protesting against The Reich. They clustered around the gates to the Syskeyian Embassy. James slowly weaved in and out of traffic as he headed towards the entrance to the Embassy.

He pulled up to the security check.

"What do you want?" a tall soldier asked of him.

" I seek refuge from The Reich. I am a Syskeyian citizen as is my wife," he nodded in her direction, "here are our papers."

As the guard bent down to examine the papers from James a second guard approached.

"Sam, what the hell is going on? Who are these people..."

"Sir I'm just reviewing their papers now. They seek assylum from The Rei..."

The guard never had a chance to finish his sentence. James pulled his service pistol and put a bullet right between Sam's eyes. Magda followed suit and shot the other guard, blowing the back of his head out in a spray of grey matter and blood. She didn't even blink.

In the confusion that ensued, the other operatives rushed the gate. James popped the trunk and his comrades grabbed AK-47 assault rifles. They quickly moved into formation around the perimeter of the building. Grenades were pulled from inside coat pockets and thrown back at the crowd keeping them at bay. James rushed into the bulding, leaving Magda in charge.

"Hold your position. Wait for James. Shoot anything that moves."

The operatives commenced to shoot into the crowd as they awaited word from James.

When three minutes had passed with no word from James, Magda jumped into the Volkswagon. "Go to plan B," she yelled as she ran to the car. Once behind the wheel, she floored the gas pedal aiming the car towards the entrance of the Syskeyia Embassy.

"For the Glory of GOD!!!" Magda shouted as the car slammed into the entrance of the building setting off the two bombs that had been left in the trunk. Glass and concrete flew everywhere; the car and buliding exploded into flames as did Magda.

Seizing the opportunity, the CLA operatives stormed the building shooting their way in.

"GOD IS GREAT!!! Death to the SATO Pigs!!!," they shouted in one voice.

They moved into the smoldering building.

Iesus Christi and all Reich nations understand the formalities and laws applying to international embassies and wouldn't dare violate such staunch international laws. Not one Iesus soldier will be ordered into the embassy or harm any of the staff...
Of course..the mob is out of control, and while we struggle to bring it under control we fear we will be unable too, especially since Syskeyia opened fire ...and of course while we respect the Syskeyian embassy, Reich forces will shoot down anything that violates our airspace...so you are welcome to travel to the Syskeyian embassy, just do so without crossing our airspace....

I assure you a Reich commission of inquiry is underway to find a solution to this issue...
The quickest solution would of course be the surrender of the Syskeyians to Iesus forces...

Yours in Christ
Bridgette Iesus


"Storm the building...free the children...avert your eyes from what they do to rats!"
Masses of guns and grenades were now appearing in amongst the crowd that had no swarmed into numbers uncountable...a mass roar went up as they continued to charge forward against the hate embassy... weight of number would crush the embassy like a egg...
Over headed buzzed Iesus copters and attack aircraft...their crews deeply upset at being unable to join in...

darn computer :x

Meanwhile back in HARU Maire placed the dossiers of the protests in St. Dominic back on her desk.
"Sebastian, tag these files for me."

...and of course while we respect the Syskeyian embassy, Reich forces will shoot down anything that violates our airspace...so you are welcome to travel to the Syskeyian embassy, just do so without crossing our airspace....

Very well. We will accept your invitation. We are proceeding to insert Red Cross vehicles and escort from orbit directly above embassy grounds, therefore avoiding entering Reich airspace at any point.

We hope there will be no mistakes on the part of the Reich, as defense systems for these vehicles are automated and could not be manually overridden in time to prevent a tragedy if they should accidentally be attacked by Reich forces while in Siskeyian territory. But we are confident such disciplined soldiers as the Reich's will make no mistakes. Even if they can't control a crowd.

Even as the transmission was sent, elements of the Second Fleet were moving toward position in the high orbital. Quicksilver ships rippled as a calculated electric charge passed through their skins, changing their pigmentation to uniform, gleaming white, save for the large red cross-shaped markings.

<well written, yet implausible "evil victory" post>

OOC: I'm going to have to ignore that, as there is no more "security check" as the mob has entered the courtyard. Also, the embassy is heavily armored, so the car bomb blast would have only damaged the front portrusion of the embassy- about as much damage as if a car bomb had rammed into an M1A2 Abrams tank. And only localized.

The embassy can be destroyed, but it's hard.

Oh, and you're the bad guys, you're SUPPOSED to lose.

IC:

Oh dear Lord was all Captain Thian could think at the moment.

He and his fellow soldiers had been fighting the mob for some time now. Ever since the enraged fascists had broken through the gates, Khun's company had been split into two parts- one half of the company on the right side of the courtyard, the other on the left.

The mob, so far, was being slaughtered. Thian lost count after the first hundred or so people they killed. An unorganized mob running up against professional soldiers with modern weapons and heavy armor (OOC: The Syskeyian soldiers are wearing the Israeli Unified Cermaic Vest, and they have Israeli Portable Cermic Shileds as well, not to mention sandbags, etc.)? However, Thian's company was not so well on ammo. They had a good amount, but they would run out soon.

The young Syskeyian then noticed something; the mob was headed directly toward the embassy; once they had overtaken the gate, the mob had proceeded to ignore the Thian's split company.

Which gave him an idea.

[i]"OK, everybody, time to get up and go," he said into his ultrasonic megaphone as he gave the orders.

Like a whirlwind, the soldiers plowed into the heart of the mob, their bayonets stabbing and their guns firing as they went. Their paln was to converge at the embassy building like the two lines of a "v."

Thian prayed his gamble would work.

God bless,

The Republic of Syskeyia

Bring in the strike breakers....like the old school ones from the 20's and 30's. Order must be restored.

OOC:LOL, even if it was quite witty you still violate Reich airspace in a vertical manner, and with defense systems on the innocent transports? I think not. Not sure how you teleported your fleet into Reich orbit either without getting shot by our spacedefense or our whole fleet we have lying there.

OOC: I agree with Syskeyia, it's hard to reach the Syskeyian embassy at the moment when about 20,000 people are trying to storm it. Better try another of Syskeyias embassies, maybe in another nation? ;-) Or just use them to blow up SYskeyian soldiers or the walls to the embassy? Pity, because it was a very good post CLA.

and about this with us being the bad guys? Have you watch too many mousepron cartoons? In the evil mastermind course I went we're supposed to kill of a lot of sidekicks and score some victories first and first much later we will be defeated by the knight in shining armour at the final battle.

IC:
The Reich StreiteKräfte slowly moved towards the Ravenspire fleet that had appeared as by magic in Reich Orbit. The Reich WHOLE spacefleet had been there since it was involved in no conflicts otherplace at the time. Admiral Stojanovic looked at the strange red crosses on the vessels, was it possible that they tried to act as Iesus Christian vessels? Could they be so stupid? No it must be a mistake, noone would be so stupid that they entered another nations orbit especially when so dreadfully outnumbered. He reached for the com.

This is HMS Jaar, flagship of The Reich StrieteKräfte. You are about to turn away from hovering with ships in orbital Reich territory. Move outside Ortillery range or we will be forced to take measures. I repeat, move outside Ortillery range or we will be forced to take measures. Four fighter one starships sped towards the Ravenspire fleet in escort formation.

Enemy fleet, this is Wing Commander Antic, we are supposed to escort your ships out of ortiellery range. Please fall in.

Very well. We will accept your invitation. We are proceeding to insert Red Cross vehicles and escort from orbit directly above embassy grounds, therefore avoiding entering Reich airspace at any point.

OOC: LOL! nice try but yes, see Vegana reply...Just walking(flying?) through our much posted about orbital defences isnt happening...but hey! was amusing anyhow! you could drop pod in of course and give us some gunnery practice....very Xmas! oohhhh pretty lights!(dramatic voice:fire at will commander) and lets also remember that a embassy airzone doesnt extent to 'space' , a embassy has no soveriegn airspace-Flights can/do pass overhead. (such matters differ nation to nation in the real world and certainly in Iesus it has always been clear)
as for the fortress syskeyia embassy...its a embassy of course its going to lose! I mean really.....

IC: The Syskeyians were doing some damage...dozens upon dozens of people falling but still...the embassy was in a hopeless situation...

A group of protestor jumped onto the a Iesus heavy tank , wilding screaming and waving their guns... their leader screamed
"I am taking command of this tank for God!"
The tank commander replied in a monotone..."oh please...no...."
The Protestor leader gave a crazyed laugh and started to climb into the turret
"I 'll just be off then shall I? I hope you know what you're going..make sure you use the HE rounds........Jack? is that you?" The tank commander broke into a laugh
"Damn is that you commander? I couldnt tell it was you under those new headsets! How long has it been? "
"years...still know how to handle a He-vap round? "
"Could I forget? remember that night at the blue Oyster?"
Both men laughed...
"well...I guess I'll be letting you open fire on the embassy then....have fun!"
The Commander jumped from the tank followed by his men...

seconds latter the HE round crashed into the Embassy....sure protestors fell...but the line of Syskeyians vanished into hell with them.
and even as the tank fired more protestors...armed and moody continued to swarm like ants over the dying Syskeyian Embassy

The embassy

'This is our time of glory! Destroy the infidels!'

The flats

The Red Commado fired off another shot, the angle taking down two men at once, their armour no protecion from the heavy anti-armour rounds. She flicked the bolt back again, and fired again. After a few more shots, she sighed, and carefully dismantled the weapon, placing it back in the case and lying back down on the bed.

An hour later, Lilia awoke. There was a odd smell in the air, and some things looked a little out of place...She shook her head.

I was probably just tired last night...

She looked out of the window, coming to notice the shouts and explosions in the distance. Riots? Ah, and this was supposed to be my holiday...

She went to go out, but first wrapped a dressing around her left eye, and carefully applied makeup over the '61' on her cheek, not really knowing why.

Hills about Chopinburg, Eurusean coast

It was the oldest part of the city still remaining, Alexei knew, built long before the Revolution by the capitalist oppressors who had once ruled Eurusea. Now these grand old houses were home to the members of the People's Soviet, a fitting show of the will of the Eurusean people against those who would strive to enslave them, that's what he'd been taught in school.

The car stopped outside the largest house, and Alexei swallowed hard and got out. What he had to say was urgent, but he still felt nervous delivering it to Comrade-Premier Kurchatov in person.

The guards escorted him inside, to a study where he was greeted with the odd sight of the Premier sitting in a chair, wearing a blue dressing gown. She held a small tabby kitten in her lap, and was carefully and patiently clipping it's claws.

Eventually she spoke, in a quiet and rather attractive voice, not the one he was used to from television, 'You didn't just come here to stare at me, did you, comrade?'

He swallowed hard, 'N-no Comrade Premier! There's reports of a siege at the Syskeyian embassy in Saint Dominic...Shot have been fired by the trecharous rat-worshipping dogs into an innocent crowd...And our team has intercepted transmissions from the embassy to outside sources.'

The Premier nodded, 'And what do these transmissions say, exactly?'

Alexei swallowed hard, 'We've been unable to decode them, Comrade Premier.'

'They are to SATO, or some other of the Syskeyian heretics' allies. Most likely, they are calling for help from some imperialist military...' the Premier turned to a guard and said a few words quietly, and Alexei started to leave.

'One thing before you go, comrade...' the Premier smiled, the soft click of the clippers sounding out, 'What use to the Soviet is a codebreaker who cannot break codes?'

Alexei looked horrified, 'Please, Comrade Premier, my daughter has nobody else but me...'

'It is precisely because of your daughter that it must be done, comrade! Would you inflict the shame of your failure upon her, the sure knowledge that her father's failure could had left hundreds of thousands of little girls like her at the mercy of the Syskeyian dogs? How would she live with the shame that because of her thousands of boys and girls would be worked to death in Syskeyia's factories, their fields, and their brothels? Comrade, you will be sent to Fort Stalin for re-education, and your daughter will be taken care of.'

Alexei would have protested, had a Commissar not struck him with the butt of his rifle. Nicole Kurchatov watched as he was dragged out.

She smiled as another figure enters, 'Ah, Comrade-General.'

The man bowed, 'Comrade Premier. Everything is ready as you ordered; two full battlegroups can be deployed within the hour. The girl will be taken in as number one-one-four.'

Nicole nodded, 'Excellent, comrade.' she clipped one last time and patted the kitten's head, 'Good kitty.'

Chopinburg harbour

With a signal from their klaxons the two gargantuan Floating Fortresses Allegretto and Fortissimo slipped their moorings and slowly headed out to join their waiting battlegroups, turning in the direction of Saint Dominic.

Aboard Allegretto, the helmsman turned to the General in command, 'Orders, Comrade-General?'

'Set course for the waters near Saint Dominic. All ahead full.'

OOC: No time to write an IC post. I see your point about the security check. I concede to that point. However, the car bombing was only supposed to damage the front of the building. Honestly, how much damage do you think a car with a couple of bombs (I should have said crude bombs) could inflict? The CLA operatives are attemptingto infiltrate the building. I never wrote a scene of them being inside the building. That's to come later...unless they are intercepted. And where exactly is James? Hmmmm....

Peter ran for Iesus towards the embassy, he would free the poor children from the daemonic people inside. He would never let them down, he... He looked down on the bayonet a soldier pushed into the side of him, the soldiers face a grotesque mask of hatred and fear, he felt the searing pain of the blade sinking into his body and then a loud bang as the soldier fired his rifle to set him loose of the rifle. Peter felt feet stomping on him, both barefoot and bootclad, he looked up to see thousands of people runbning over the soldiers grappling with them for the rifles while other hit them with knives and machetes. Peters eyes were clouded and a red curtain began to drop in front of them and all he could see were feet and then nothing...

Dean, the man who had gotten the Kochians involved in the riots, looked around at the carnage taking place around him. Minutes ago, he had seen his brother fall, stabbed in the stomach by an enemy bajonet. Dean had taken his immediate revenge by plunging the switchblade he carried directly into the throat of the enemy soldier, but his anger was still alive and flaming through his soul. Looking around, he fell a sharp pain as a bullet ripped of one of his ears. In a wild scream, he grabbed the remains of his ear with both hands, trying to stop the pain and bleeding. For several seconds, he stood there, moaning just like the many that had been trampled beneath the black boots of the soldiers. Then, he straigthened himself out. Blood poored from the side of his face, but he paid no attention. He knew what he had to do. The only thing that could prevent more bloodshed. The only thing that could save his brethern.


The Iesus Christi tanks had to help them. By any means necessary.


Looking around, he saw one of the RPG weapons that the Syskeyians had been aiming at the tanks. Dean did not know if the original carrier was dead or had fled the scene, but it did not matter either. Quickly, he ran over to the weapon and picked it up. Suddenly, he went very calm, as years of military service took over his mind. Calmly, he made sure the weapon was loaded and locked. Then, he accurately aimed at the nearest Iesus tank. All tank crews were looking at the weapons being handed out by their commander, and nobody saw Dean.

A short movement with one hand, and the missile left the tube. In a blaze of smoke, it flew directly at the nearest tank. Dean did not take the time to see the result, dropping the weapon and getting back to the fight instead. But as he ran towards the crowds, he heared the explosion and the piercing sound of metal being deformed, as well as screams in the Iesus language.

If that indeed meant his target had been struck, the Iesus soldiers would think that the Syskeyians had targeted and destroyed one of their tanks.
In a soft sense of satisfaction, Dean threw himself onto the bajonet of the nearest soldier. While his guts and lungs were ripped to shreds by the knife and bullets alike, his soul left its mortal shell. Seconds before reuniting with his Creator, an intense sense of peace and tranquility hit Dean.

He had done good.

Captian Thian's company bludgeoned its way through the mob, hacking, riflebutting and shooting as best it could as it made iyts way to the embassy building.

Meranwhile, at the embassy itself, Private Thawan was feeling a bit more hopeful as he gunned down even more of the murderous mob with his H-bar M16.

Thousands had thrust themsleves upon the embassy, and thousands had the company stationed in the embassy building cut down before they could reach this diplomatic outpost. It reminded him of the opening of Helm's Deep in The Two Towers, when elven archers shot down wave after wave of Uruk-hai.

Thawan had also seen Balck Hawk down, in which a small group of American soldiers had held out against hundreds if not thousands of Somali militia.

He calculated the ratio in his head, and applied it to his situation. We've got good odds, he though, we've got good odds...

Near him, Private Alphonsus Sotpeak fired another Hydra rocket into the crowd...

A group of protestor jumped onto the a Iesus heavy tank , wilding screaming and waving their guns... their leader screamed
"I am taking command of this tank for God!"
The tank commander replied in a monotone..."oh please...no...."

"Sir, the Iesus tanks have opened fire!"

"SH*T! That's an act of war! Return fire!"

The Syskeyian AT teams then showered the Iesus armored brigade with a hail of Javelin anti-tank missiles.

---

The scene was ghastly. The courtyard was filled with mob casualties, not to mention the living mob itself. Black spots where weaponry was fired had stained the Embassy building in many places. But the Syskeyian embassy was designed to withsetand a three-month full military seige.

The mob could not go on forever. If they could hold out for just a few days...

God bless,

The Republic of Syskeyia

The effects of the battle besides the fighting

The embassy' press corps started to work even before the shooting began. Now, they were provivding the Syskeyian people by way of TV and the Internet a first-hand, immediate view of the carnage.

The Syskeyian public saw it all as it happened, live on TV and online.

Meanwhile, some Syskeyian soldier got a certain Lavenrunzian song off the Internet (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=106286) and soon all the Syskeyian soldiers were singing:

Matthew Iesus
Load up your tree
As long as it's not
To crucify me

Remember it's Christmas
That sweet institution
Don't make me the subject
Of an execution!

Matthew Iesus
Be of good cheer
Let's hope upcoming
Is a more peaceful year

Oh, Matthew Iesus I beseech
You to give this New Year some peace!

Matthew Iesus give me
Please, please please
Matthew Iesus give me some peace!

God bless,

"GOD IS GREAT!"
Father Luther smiled...this was nothing like that crap flick Black hawk down they had more people, better firepower and....
"DEATH TO SYSKEYIA"
....30000 odd people willing to die...

Dozens of Iesus Tanks now opened fire...their crews replaced by off duty army 'rioters'. No matter what the Syskeyians had thought..no EMBASSY could last more than a day...Round after round from the tanks opened up, slamming into the embassy while the tens of thousands of people charged on...
The embassy was being turned into rubble and thousands of people were still running into it...armed with all sorts of army weapons...from pulse rifles to Panzerfaust..

The syskeyian trooper fired and fired and fired...downing half a dozen people infront of Ethan...
But this didnt worry ethan...he pulled the pin on his grenade and threw not the grenade but himself AND the grenade at the satanic trooper...
"GOD IS GREAT"
Ethan, the trooper and several others died that moment....
But Heaven greeted the Martyrs of Iesus!

OOC:I assume you must concede you are being over run, this isnt zulu you know...armed mob.. traitor tanks...and the embassy CANT have more then 250-350 people(under law you arnt allowed more after all)

You forgot several things: the Syskeyian soldier are professional military men. The mob isn't. Also, the Syskeyian are heavily armored, with personal body armor, protable ceramic shileds, and the machine guns have gunshelds as well.

Dozens of Iesus Tanks now opened fire...their crews replaced by off duty army 'rioters'. No matter what the Syskeyians had thought..no EMBASSY could last more than a day...Round after round from the tanks opened up, slamming into the embassy while the tens of thousands of people charged on...

Um, I fired a bunch of Javelin anti-tank missiles at the tank brigade, and they fired only after the first tank shot an HE round at the embassy. Until you tell me your losses (and you HAD to have some after that missile salvo), I'm going to ignore that part.

The syskeyian trooper fired and fired and fired...downing half a dozen people infront of Ethan...
But this didnt worry ethan...he pulled the pin on his grenade and threw not the grenade but himself AND the grenade at the satanic trooper...

Oh, so he lunged toward a Iesus trooper, did he? ;)

Ethan, the trooper and several others died that moment....
But Heaven greeted the Martyrs of Iesus!
Ah yes, the Syskeyian soldiers who died did go to Paradise. Can't say the same for Ethan. though...

OOC: Well, unless you let us evacuate the embassy and go somewhere safe, the embassy staff (guard included) will fight to the last man. Do you think offering the mob cookies will placate them? :D

OOC: Sys, if you need help just ask.

OOC: Placating matty by threatening to deny wubbing? No - that would be too harsh. I could beam the crew out but that would be a bit of a turn off, I think. So that's out too. Well, I have spacedyships that could be used.

So I'd like to check if spacedy ships would be acceptable in this RP. They would basically enter the atmosphere and (try to) evacuate the people while hovering over the embassy.

But, again, this is still future techish so I'd like permission...

OOC: Sigh, as I said, sure you are allowed to try to get a spacefleet into Reich territory, but you have to be prepared to:
a) Make a deployment into a controlled area
b) Better bring a big fleet, because as previously stated the WHOLE reich StreiteKräfte is sitting there, and believe me, they will open up together with the orbital defense. When push gets to shove, you better rest assured that we WILL shove.

Syskeyia, I would really like you to state losses, and this isn't a hollywood production, I really doubt it you even have ammo enough to fight this mob, and secondly if your troops try to get into the embassy, you can be sure that the mob will follow into it, because there is NO way they can get to the embassy without letting the embassy in. Face it, either they try to get in, and lets teh mob in or they stand and die in the courtyard. Time for a reality check my friend.

IC:

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM VEGANA

The wonderful nation of Vegana strongly condemns the hostilities made by Syskeyians on innocent demonstrators. Vegana feels like the measure of force executed against said demonstraotrs is extremely exaggerated. The wonderful nation of Vegana also prays to the people involved to try to control themselves and not let their righteous hatred towards the infidels get the upper hand of them but to try to show mercy. Furthermore Vegana pleads to the officials inside the embassy to capitulate and give themselves into Iesus Custody to stop the bloodbath.

Offical Statement from Prince Ryan uth Elood VI

I feel a sadness at the loss of life in Vegana due to the riots, of course knowing the Reich most likely it was the Mob that attacked first and the Syskeyia Military did what it was meant to do, defended it's embassy from psychotics. Of course this is just my opinion, I could be wrong.

On behalf of the Federal Government of Santa Barbara, and the PrattCo Conglomerate, I wish to express our sorrow at the loss of life incurred by reckless Syskeyian troops, and in general the violation of peace that the Syskeyian Situation has caused. Know that the might of Santa Barbara shall stand behind the Reich, should it come to war. Of course, I cannot fully speak on behalf of the entire Conglomerate, which tends to ignore the spiritual side of things. But I shall speak with others, and we will see what comes of it.

-Lord President Heinrid Abadas

[OOC: Syskeyia, I do not see how any embassy compound could possibly be built to withstand a 3 month full military assault in the modern age. Whatever embassy architects told you that it could were probably lying to you just to get a higher price. And of course, it's not even the modern age here, weapons are more powerful, I don't even think a "siege" of anything less than a nation or a large city would last as long as 3 months...
Just my input.]

Very well. We will accept your invitation. We are proceeding to insert Red Cross vehicles and escort from orbit directly above embassy grounds, therefore avoiding entering Reich airspace at any point.

We hope there will be no mistakes on the part of the Reich, as defense systems for these vehicles are automated and could not be manually overridden in time to prevent a tragedy if they should accidentally be attacked by Reich forces while in Siskeyian territory. But we are confident such disciplined soldiers as the Reich's will make no mistakes. Even if they can't control a crowd.


OOC:LOL, even if it was quite witty you still violate Reich airspace in a vertical manner,


OOC: No, we don't. I know things you do not know.

and with defense systems on the innocent transports? I think not.


OOC: I think you have little to say about it, since they're not your ships. Or did you fail to read the part where the "transports" are "elements of the Second Fleet"?

Not sure how you teleported your fleet into Reich orbit either without getting shot by our spacedefense or our whole fleet we have lying there.

OOC: It's not in Reich orbit. It's in the high orbitals, where you have never claimed having anything. If your space defense is shooting at it, then you need to say so. That wouldn't be a very good idea, though.


IC:
The Reich StreiteKräfte slowly moved towards the Ravenspire fleet that had appeared as by magic in Reich Orbit.

OOC: Sorry, like I said, no Ravenspire ships in Reich orbit. You'll need to rewrite your actions.

Yadda yadda Zulus Yadda yadda black hawk down yadda yadda fortress
OOC: uhuh/uhuh./uhuh . I do understand what you mean about trained personal...still armed fanatics support by armour(being more armour will/could fill the gaps) will win quite quickly. I as for the three month siegy thing...maybe against zulus...think of a bunker at normandy...sure it cuts down alot of people but...its only a building...and there is alot of people and guns being targeted at it...
anyhow-
merry Christmas...

ps:orbital deploys will be attacked-really deploying spacey stuff and expecting people NOT to react is silly....and pointing out AGAIN the foriegn embassy has NO airspace ERGO you HAVE to violate our airspace..
so..VIVA orbital defence also..
PPS:we'll assume any orbital movement against us that enters atmosphere is a first strike...we cant trust you..so we'll have to reply in kind...of course we wont drop firstaid parcels from space...
IC:
"Lock one...."
"fire"
The massive bunker buster dropped from the circling Iesus ME119 aircraft that was safe and sound out of the range of the Sykeyian enemy....the 'buster' roasted the area in a massive 'happy fun' explosion.
Even as the embassy was being turned into dust by the massive explosion the crowd still ran on....running like lemmings into the explosion...

Father Luther watched...Unless somehow the syskeyian embassy was immune to explosions** the day was won.


*unless you have SAMs there now too?
** please say it isnt...dude...this isnt a bunker its a embassy! dont make us drop MORE bunker busters!

Offical government statement
A tragic event has happened today...rest assured the Iesus government will investigate...

Samuel lay strangling a syskeyian soldier as he heard a whistling noice, he had the time to look up at the sky before the bunker buster landed. A wave of debris and fire welled over him and thousands of rioters in the courtyard.

<Will insert rest here after status, this probably WILL end the riots in a few seconds>

Anyway, Matty, standard accepted rules of embassies is that the embassy grounds are sovereign land of the nation that "owns" the embassy. Thus, if someone from Iesus in on the grounds of the Sysk embassy, they are, essentially, in Syskeyia.

Therefore, the embassy does have airspace, thus attacking a ship from Ravenspire that is in Syskeyian airspace is an act of aggression against Ravenspire, and likely not a good idea.

I feel dirty now... :P ]

OOC: No offense Hack, but unless you can show me a link I respectfully disagree with you. According to this (http://www.state.gov/t/pm/iso/c7954.htm) the host government issues permission for diplomatic flights. I believe sovereign territory is only restricted to the ground.

Diplomatic Overflight and Landing Clearances
ISO is responsible for issuing diplomatic clearances to all foreign government aircraft that wish to enter U.S. airspace. ISO issues diplomatic clearance numbers and coordinates interagency activity related to the flight. This procedure applies to aircraft both landing in or overflying U.S. territory. Foreign embassies are required to submit applications at least 72 working hours prior to arrival in the U.S. or its territories. Other overflight duties include:

ISO sends a representative to special events, such as the Olympics and the annual UN General Assembly, that involve a heavy volume of foreign government aircraft transporting VIPs into U.S. airspace.

ISO issues diplomatic clearances to all foreign government (non-military) aircraft arriving at U.S. airbases overseas

As necessary, ISO representatives hold workshops for foreign embassy officials to educate them on the overflight and landing clearance process.

It was over.

Virtually all the Syskeyians had perished.

Had the bunker buster not been dropped, the soldiers would have kept on fighting to the last. The ambassador staff had made a run for the helicopters to try and evacuate to the Syskeyian embassy in Reichskamphen, but, alas, they thought the idea too late.

Good thing they had all gone to confession the night before the riots.

Thousands of rioters had been killed, and fifty Syskeyian soldiers had died before the bomb dropped.

And it was all on tape.

From the moment the rioters marched on the embassy to the final end of the conflict, the embassy's media attache had caught it all on camera: the initial marching of the rioters, the throwing of fireworks into the crowd, the fact that ten Syskeyhian soldiers had been killed before the Syskeyian used lethalk force, the tearing down of the gates, the firing of the Iesus tank brigade and the Syskeyian anti-tank counterattack, all the way until the Iesus bunker buster forcefully ended the transmission.

And, thanks to the Internet, others had these complete coverage as well.

The government of Syskeyia e-mailed uncut, unedited copies of the footage to the governments of the Reich.

The footage can be downloaded from http://www.army.rp.syk/st_dominic_embassy_crisis .

Public statement:

A grevious tragedy has befallen my Republic. A large groups of rioters, assisted by Iesus Christi forces, assaulted and destroyed the Syskeyian embassy in St. Dominic, killing all that were there. We demand that the following people be sent to Syskeyia for trial:

Fr. John Luther
The members of the Iesus Christi armored brigade
The crew of the plane that dropped the bunker-busting bomb
The survivivng rioters

God bless,

Benedict Michael Sukothai
President and First Consul of the Republic of Syskeyia

And it was all on tape.

OOC: There is NO way you could have caught the fireworks, it was a covert operation and your media attache was inside the embassy, with a courtyard and soldiers and thousands of Rioters in between. Otherwise It'll probably be a good phootage =)

Official Statement from Vegana

This is a sad day in The Reich, today a lot of innocent people lost their lives. A demonstration in St. Dominic turned into a bloodbath that wasn't ended until the Iesus Christi airforce, after extreme international pressure to end the riots, dropped a bomb on the demonstrators. The deathcount is not complete yet due to several bodyparts hasn't been identifyiable nor being proven to belong to a single or many different persons, we have an estimation of about 1000 dead and maybe as many as eight times as many wounded, the DNA will give us a better estimate. So far 197 of the dead is presumed being Veganians.

Vegana is demanding a thourough investigation of this incident and a trial on the people dropping a bomb on Veganian Citizens. The responsibility of this weighs heavy both on the international community for forcing extreme measure on innocent civilians by Iesus military as well on the shoulders of Syskeyian officials for not asking proper authorities for a peaceful solution rather than turning the situation even more ugly by insulting the crowd. Vegana will send several tapes with the whole situation, from the beginning, uncut and unedited, to the Iesus Christi authorities and any other interested parties. Veganian news agency has extremely telling pictures from several different cameras from several different angles. We demand that this will receive a proper solution!

We also condemns the nation of Mezoprincapala for their statement:
I feel a sadness at the loss of life in Vegana due to the riots, of course knowing the Reich most likely it was the Mob that attacked first and the Syskeyia Military did what it was meant to do, defended it's embassy from psychotics. Of course this is just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Not only do they miss the fact that the riots happened on St. Dominic soil but they also accuse The Reich for instigating the riots. We wonder where Mezoprincapala has their sources that feeds them these lies? Our pictures will prove the them wrong, it can clearly be seen that the officer gives order to fire before the shooting starts. We demand an excuse for coming up with filthy lies to a nation that has lost thousands of their children, brothers and sister.

OOC:Embassies have external security camaras Vegana. Its quiet possible one of them around the outside caught a glimpse of something. Remember the movie Rules of Engagement with Samuel L Jackson?It delt with exactly this kind of thing, who fired first. It was all caught on an exteneral camara and that got him from being sent to jail.

OOC: well there's always that option, they still wont get the fireworks, nor the shooter on the hill. And don't forget that my SEVERAL newsteams all were extremely conviniently placed for taking the best pictures of the riot. You could almost say that the places they stood at were marked with X.

Offical Reply:

The Reich has had a history of twisting the truth or comming out with outright lies and of ruling as Roman Catholic Totalitarian Tyrants. Sorry if your "word" isn't worth very much, Syskeiya's current ruler has yet to lie to any world government that I am aware of so I would hope that an Neutral investigation team be sent to your nation to see which side is telling the truth. When I say neutral it cannot be in any way shape or form be influenced by any of the governments or persons of the Reich (by threats, bribes, etc).

My first statement was of my opinion but now I am beginning to suspect that I might of hit the nail on the head.

Emergency press conference on the embassy incident

Minister Hans van Mierlo walks into a half-filled pressroom for a press conference that has been convened at extremely short notice.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen of the press…

The Knootian government is abhorred by the recent events in St. Dominic. We strongly condemn the Reich governments for their apparent failure to break up the siege of the embassy. We are looking into evidence that the Reich governments have actively supported the riots. It is the responsibility of all governments to guarantee the safety of foreign embassies.

We would withdraw our own ambassador to the Reich, if it were not for the fact that his location is currently unknown. We call again on the Iesus government to provide information about the whereabouts of Mr. Herben.

We also call upon the SeOCC government to break off their talks with the Reich in light of this heinous atrocity.

We stand by our SATO allies. Let it also be known that as of this moment our military alert stature has been increased from “sound asleep” to “apathetic”. The Knootian military is watching!

Thank you, no questions please.

Three Kochians had withdrawn from the crowd, and were now standing on the other side of the streets, in a relatively calm area of the scene. Battered and bloody, they looked at each other with grim faces, until the leader nodded. They had all been thinking about the same thing, and now started to head over to a grey car parked near them. It had been trampled to pieces, the windows had been smashed, and some punk had stolen the radio. But that did not matter.

The leader of the trio took a keychain from his pocket, and opened the trunk of what had once been a V2 Hummer. Between the expensive sound systems, now probably worhtless and completely wrecked, a black casing was lying under a grey blanket. Placing the suitcase on the battered trunk after closing it again, an Eagle Eye sniper rifle revealed itself when the case was opened.

The two others spoke a few words with each other, and then slapped hands. Immediately after, they covered their mouths and noses with their bandana's, to avoid recognision. then, one of them drew a pair of glocks from their belts, while the second man cocked back a 12gauge sawed off. In the meanwhile, the leader took his position with the sniper rifle. Leaning on the hood of the vehicle, he started targeting Syskeyian heads, for as far as those were still present. Slowly, he aimed, shot, and aimed for the next target. In a monotomous repetition of his actions, he was determined to continue his actions until he ran out of ammo. He needed not worry about his life. His friends would defend him.

Just when that thought crossed his mind, a young woman ran away from the crowds. She had been shot in her left arm, and completely in panic she approached the trio. Completely irrational from fear, she clamped onto the man holding the shotgun, screaming for help. His partner was quick to act. Two short blasts from the glocks, and the woman fell to the ground. When a television camera started making recordings of her corps when the tv crew arrived minutes later, the man with the shotgun started screaming:

"Look what those Syskeyian dogs have done to her! We tried to save her, but they shot her in the back as if she was an animal. Twice! WE MUST AVENGE HER! DEATH TO THE SYSKEYIANS!"

Let it also be known that as of this moment our military alert stature has been increased from “sound asleep” to “apathetic”. The Knootian military is watching!

The Imperial Government wishes to express its disgust that the government of Iesus Christi allowed its citizens to get so out of hand, and took no action to protect the embassy of the Republic of Syskeyia. It is with relief that the Imperial Government notes that it has no embassies anywhere in the Reich, nor will it have until the Reich's respective governments can better guarantee the security of such embassies.

The government of Syskeyia e-mailed uncut, unedited copies of the footage to the governments of the Reich.

OOC: Real-life embassies typically have direct diplomatic channels for their communications - it wouldn't surprise me if the Syskeyian embassy had an internet connection directly to their own government. In any case, it seems pretty likely to me that the whole thing could've easily been sent without ever touching a Reich host or even a piece of Reich cable. Now, how much of that could've realistically been recorded and transmitted in time is another matter... 8)

OOC: So? I was referring to intercepting the message, not about the existence of direct diplomatic communications. It would not matter if the communications involved don't use any Reich hardware. How hard would it be to tap into said lines? Or mess up satellite links? Surely the Reich has the tech to do that. The repercussions of doing that though is another matter.

For internet connections, why would security cameras be linked? Good way for somone to hack in and inspect the layout of an embassy I'd say, but then again, I'm not sure what exactly is done in RL. I suspect though that security systems are autonomous and have that potential security hole plugged But I will desist and not clutter this thread with OOC chatter. Sorry.

Official Release from HARU

It is with great sadness and shock that we condemn the actions of the Syskeyian government regarding the recent riots in St. Dominic. We morn the loss of life yet we are not angered. We pray for the Syskeyian govenment to mend it's ways and see the light of Christ not unlike the light exhibited by Iesus Christi and Vegana as they attempted to quell the unruly mob. May the Skskeyian government be brought to justice; God have mercy on their souls.

Cardinal Dante
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Messianic Empire of HARU

"I have to say that the Iesus Christi and Vegana governments are at fault for not holding back the unruly mobs and Syskeiya was in the right to protect it's embassy for attack. I would also like to add that I think that the people who rule Iesus Christi and Vegana need a few more days in drug rehab if you catch my drift."

In high Earth orbit, the Ravenspire ships finally reached the calculated location. The largest of the cruisers launched a drop pod along the precalculated course. The ovoid capsule was, like the ships, white, marked with the international Red Cross and Red Crescent symbols; its transponder would clearly identify it as a medical-evacuation vessel registered out of Ravenspire. It would fall parabolically toward Earth, avoiding Reich space, skimming atmosphere over the ocean. At that point, a rocket would kick in to adjust its course. Minutes later, it would be dropping vertically toward the embassy courtyard. Or at least what was left of it.

Well, you can certainly try. You won't do it by saying so OOC, though.

Of course, declaring it as a WMD assault might look pretty silly, if you haven't checked to see whether the nation in question even has WMDs. Especially when you've got transmissions telling you what it really is. But, your call.

That's nice. Of course, if you read the post, you'd have noticed that it's not passing through Reich space. So I'm still questioning the EMP mines hovering in your airspace. But I'm sure Vegana will address that.

Meanwhile, I'd appreciate it if you'd go no further on the ground until he does have a chance to respond, because this is happening shortly after the bomb dropped. The approach will take a little while, but not that long.

OOC:maybe i'm missing soemthing but how does one drop things from space onto a embassy in our terr without crossing our airspace....

Semi IC: Zam Zam *random spacey sound effects* as cargo boxes are shot and 'boomed' by ground based and space based 'assets'

OOC: Never said it did. I said it's not passing through Reich space. You know, where your satellites and whatever are? Read the post, it's pretty clear on the sort of path it's following.

Also, what do you mean "boxes"? I only sent the one pod. That's (being lenient) the second time you have assigned actions to me that I did not take. Stop it.

OOC: EMP mines just hanging in the atmosphere?

If you had checked our background you would know that we have an EMP mine grid over the Reich. Check on my name and look for EMP-mines and you'll find the thread, they've been up there for quite a while. AI mines without Nukes transmitting Tesla Effect on short distance.


OOC: Um, wouldn't the EMPs screw up the missiles' guidance systems, too?


Ofcourse they would if they were up there in the same second as the EMP-mines fired on your pod, this happens however in a sequence where the FIRST line of defense (since you somehow sneaked by our fleet) is the mines, the second strike comes with the missilies if you wouldn't be rendered defenseless by the mines, since SOO many people regard their tech EMP-proof these days..

IC:

IC:

Externally, the (somewhat-misnamed) EMP attack had few visible effects. The transponder ceased operation. The braking thruster continued to fire exactly as it had been, though whether this had been preplanned or was a result of another system giving out and failing to regulate it was a matter purely for speculation.

Perhaps it didn't matter, though. A short time later, as the pod continued to drop in altitude, the first of the missiles slammed into it. The direct hit burst it open in an explosion. The second, third, and fourth missiles, moments later, spread the plume of smoke and mist over an even wider area of sky.

Several chunks of twisted steel, of varying sizes, continued to fall toward the island, at varying rates of speed.

"Kill the blasphemers!"

Throats are slit, eyes are stabbed at, gut and blood flow freely over the sidewalk, and the screams of the wounded and dying make the scene similar to a passage from Dante's Inferno.

Canto XXIII: Bolgia Six
The Hypocrites

"Here the HYPOCRITES, weighted down by great leaden robes, walk eternally round and round a narrow track. The robes are brilliantly gilded
on the outside and are shaped like a monk's habit, for the hypocrite's outward appearance shines brightly and passes for holiness, but under that show lies the terrible weight of deceit which the soul must bear through all eternity.

"...he is punished by being himself crucified to the floor of Hell by three great stakes, and in such a position that every passing sinner must walk upon him. Thus he must suffer upon his own body the weight of all the world's hypocrisy..."

Sounds like a fitting punishment to the HEATHEN Syskeyian.

Heckler und Koch denies all rumours of the gangraping of surviving female embassador employees.

I suppose it wouldn't occur to you Chimaea, that there may be reasons as to why I would discount you as being a third party? I am quite aware that you weren't actually suggesting you want to be that "third" party but I'm merely putting out some spin. Okay? Nations and countries do it all the time, they often seek to discredit others by throwing out various "truths". Or perhaps I am merely prodding you, Chimaea, to get a rise out of you? Hmmmm?

For heck's sake, does everything need to be spelt out in OOC chatter? Can't people draw their own conclusions and realize that not every path is a straight one? F***.

It seems that no one can engage in a little bit of propaganda at all.

OOC: All right, I did apologise. It just wasn't necessary that's all; I'm not going to debate this with you so just let it drop please.

OOC: Fair enough. To indulge your curiousity as to why I would do it, well, aside from being naturally mischievious, the Embassy was trying to set itself up as a "neutral" party at your expense. That's it, and this is all OOC knowledge. Propaganda sometimes does rub people the wrong way - so rub back. :)

OOC: I admit I was being bitchy, I shouldn't let real life stress get to me here.

To reply:

IC

We would not even pretend to have no bias on matters concerning Iesus Christi, as we have been involved in conflict against the Reich a few times before.

Iesus Christi confirms a neutral investigation will be held into this terrible incident.
We also confirm the trial of the Syskeyian survivors by a combined Reich tribunal .
Charges so far include- violating the peace, murder, rape, crimes against God, crimes against the state, violating a Christian holiday...

A criminal tribunal?


OOC:
For the benefit of all: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=109557 <---another thread concerning a proposed trial.

It was about two weeks after the embassy incident that it became apparent that a plague of sorts had come to St. Dominic.

This was not a traditional epidemic; no humans fell sick, nor any animals, and there were none of the usual signs of disease.

And yet the plants suffered. A week ago, all had looked reasonably normal; today, many of the plants had turned brown, and the grasses and flowers had gone limp. Not all of them, by any means; a fair number of them still thrived, particularly along the Reichward side of the island. But it was distressingly widespread, with even tall and robust trees near the seaward side succumbing in far greater numbers than was typical.

OOC:
1-no tgram asking if its cool
2-how does a bio/chem agent survive after its deploy canister being blasted into a zillion bits at high atmosphere
3-the assumption reich(my) forces wouldnt look at debris from you as hostile/dangerous/bio attack-no I didnt mention I did this directly in this thread but I take this paranoia as READ being in a 100 threads I even checked GIFTS from my dearest allies fo bio/chem agents let alone stuff falling from enemy nations... (see Vegenas Jo girly gift for a example)
top three reasons this isnt happening

sidebar:points 2 & 3 aside I would of let something (at some scale)like this happen with the polite tgram asking if it was cool....

OOC: Well, let's take them point by point.

1- Funny, you didn't telegram me about shooting at my craft. Guess you didn't do so, then?

No. IC actions bring IC consequences. You warned me about the craft, I did it, you shot. I asked Vegana to confirm it, he did... gee, look what happened.

2- Perhaps you're making some unwarranted assumptions, there? You might know how, if you'd bothered to investigate the scene. Or follow up at all. Or if anyone involved in the thread had. But nobody did. So you can't very well say you did now.

3- You could have said something to that effect, then. I did give you two weeks plus to even mention the incident. That's plenty of time to allow you to respond. Since you didn't, even OOC, I have to assume you didn't care. Possibly because you thought any bio/chem agent would have been blasted into a zillion bits at high atmosphere.

If you had investigated, or even mentioned any clean-up, I would've told you what you'd found. And if you hadn't shot the thing in the first place, I'd have been really screwed.

But I took the risk, and you acted exactly as I thought you would. You've been played. Refuse to deal with it if you want... but then I don't want to hear you complain any more when people don't accept your own terrorism and such.

OOC:Being I've never ever done any terrorism not on my own land without the other players consent....I dont really go with you.
Plus RPGing whats so clear is pointless I mean.....maybe i should make posts about my army using guns not spears too? :P any other painfully clear points need to be cleared up for you? really..if you cant take certain actions as read RPG will be slow (My troops put on their boots..load their guns...damn forgot to put on their shirts..)
Anyhow before this becomes pissing contest 2004-you know what I think/will do, you can assume what you like/in your world, its new years, I hope you had a good one

OOC: Er, I know for a fact that not all the Reich terrorism is pre-arranged by telegram. But no problem. I believe I've made the point I set out to.

OOC:well all terrorism I have carried out on foriegn soil I have checked with the player first-I wouldnt dare not, it is making a massive assumption to just assume things.
I cant speak for the rest of the world but for me its good form-its just not cricket! if you had asked...this wouldnt happen...I'm sorry good form isnt your strong suit. Maybe its my fault for not making it clear i believe adult RPG....
Now if you wanna drop a bio attack on a Iesus tourist in raven...go ahead(of course we dont allow our citizens to leave the reich but...)

It was about two weeks after the embassy incident that it became apparent that a plague of sorts had come to St. Dominic.

This was not a traditional epidemic; no humans fell sick, nor any animals, and there were none of the usual signs of disease.

And yet the plants suffered. A week ago, all had looked reasonably normal; today, many of the plants had turned brown, and the grasses and flowers had gone limp. Not all of them, by any means; a fair number of them still thrived, particularly along the Reichward side of the island. But it was distressingly widespread, with even tall and robust trees near the seaward side succumbing in far greater numbers than was typical.

Bah, this is SO lame. I never expected THIS from you. I thought you were too accomplished a roleplayer for that. As you have pointed out to me a few times, when I have getting ahead of myself...


because:
1)You declare our losses
2) Your craft was blown to bits in high atmosphere with not one, but three torpedoes. Thus any chemical agent would be burned up or scattered in High Atmosphere.
3) IF that super Chem agent of yours would survive and not be rendered harmless by being blown up in high Atmosphere. This is not a Reich problem but you have spread that agent to half the world.
4) If you want to do things like this, use T-grams. This could have been a nice RP, with investigations and stuff, but plain GOD MODDING just pisses me off.
5) The Reich has a very accomplished Orbit defence, that is what keeps us alive from the people that doesn't like us (and there are some, believe it or not) Please do not underestimate it. I am sure neither SATo nor Ravenspire would agree to us flying in and dropping something, bio- or Chem in your nation without having clearance first.

Edited because of getting less pissed after a short while

OOC:

1) I haven't declared your losses. I noted that the effect was more widespread than would be considered normal, and where it was most concentrated. This is perfectly standard.

2) Er... I thought they were missiles? Torpedoes are something else. Anyway, you're making a bad assumption, just like Iesus is.

3) Same bad assumption.

4) Yes, it could have been. It's not my fault that none of you decided to investigate. I gave you two weeks to say anything at all about the incident. You didn't.

5) Since the capsule never passed through Reich orbital space, that's irrelevant. I was very careful to note the actual method of insertion. Hint: It was not, despite my first post, a vertical insertion over St. Dominic. That should've been your first clue that something strange was going on.

If you prefer to avoid taking damage, well, that's fine. I'll stick to playing with others. But don't claim you had no chance to do anything about it. I gave you two weeks, at least two major clues, and the chance to retract or change your initial counterattack. You're the ones who decided to do nothing.

OOC:

To continue your pissy ranting on the forums just continues to reinforce my belief in the lack of good form shown by you.
Its just not on, its Just not cricket! really who bio/chem attacks without a tgram...really...

IC: a mass fascist combined work of clean up using uber and primitive tech (hellfire flamethrowers) began to steam the early signs of a foul blight in isolated areas.
