New Gracaria AFB ATC "Attention Holmsbervanian plane, you are to wait until the Cali plane lands. Could be up to 10 minutes." Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun The officer let me go after realizing it was me. I double timed to the airport and arrived just as the Cali plane landed. I stopped a soldier and told him to just spray the car with water real quick. Clean it up a little. Behind it, four HMMWVs that we bought pulled up and stopped. That'll be transportation for apparently another nation coming in as well as the Cali. I just noticed, off to the side of the runway, and in plain sight, maintenance workers were replacing the "Republic of New Gracaria" on my personal 747 with "The Anean Star Empire". I had to smile at that. Already changing things. Once they land, there will be stairs brought up and a soldier will escort them over to me. I will show Salato to the car, the others will get in the HMMWVs. For the first time in a while, I am in a black business suit. Royal blue tie. I'll have to change into something more formal once I get back to the castle. General Nakhi Welhan "Alright, come with me then." I walked down a flight of stairs. I passed in front of IX's garage door. Shortly after that came the main entrance. The Guards opened the doors for me and I led Stidham, Tiam, and whoever else followed in. Prime Minister Luca Rio "Yes, daughter. Name is Klara. Three months old about." I took her off my shoulder, and offered to let Tod hold her. "You can hold her if you want."

*Through VidCom*
"New Gracanaria base, this is Aerial Unit #215, Special Operations Unit. We request permisson to land.
Additionally, Colonel Heirlich sends an apology to your authorities about their last meeting with your leader. It was unfortunate, but the matter was of extreme importance to make the Colonel leave."

*Aboard Holmbergsvania Air Force One*
"Attention Holmbergsvanian plane, you are to wait until the Cali plane lands, could be up to 10 minutes"
____________________________________________________
"Roger that, ATC, We'll remain in a holding pattern, but with respect, we're about to run on fumes here, so if we have an open spot, let us know as soon as you guys can!" The pilot stowed his mic
"What? You never told me we had low fuel!" The prince stared at the pilot.
"Well sir, what do you expect?"
"To be honest, this is Air Force One, and we had a lot of ground back there to call a tanker aircraft before we went over the sea!"
"Well you're here anyway!" The pilot sighed, keeping his eye on the fuel gauge. The dial indicated one line above "E."
Looks like they were about to have to shell out some cash for some fuel for the return trip...

Tod blinked a few times at the offer to hold the child, hesitating for a moment before taking her into hir arms and cradling her carefully, smiling a bit as shi stared down at her. "She's beautiful..." shi says softly, before looking back at Luca, giving a soft smile to hir. "Thank you for bringing her to show me, I would of never known this little miracle existed if you hadn't!" shi grins and giggles before rocking the kit gently in hir arms, beginning to hum quietly.
Tisra smiled softly before crawling her way up onto Tod's head, sitting down before extending a paw out to Luca. "We've met before, haven't we?" she asks, tilting her head a bit to the left. "If not, I am Tisra Vlodovic, and yes, I am his sister"
"Attention New Gracaria Airforce Base, this is UNS Livina, we are requesting permission to land. Our craft is VTOL and has taken two direct hits from e-*static followed by high pitch ping*-y fighters, which were shot down on the way here"
The Skyfrigate limped it's way slowly toward the base as smoke bellowed from a hole in it's left side, one of it's engines having been hit hard by rockets from said enemy fighters.
Lafi shook her head slowly as she looked over the side of the frigate at the smoke bellowing from the engine, growling softly before backing up. "When we land, just tell to remove the damaged engine, we can get home without it." she then walked over to the other side before looking up at the other aircraft. "It's strange that we are the biggest aircraft in this area... heh, then again, what do you expect from a flying ship."

The ARG soldiers held their positions on either side of the entrance as Stidham, Tiam, and their entourage proceeded after Nakhi. The servants continued to carry the cape down the stairs until they came upon the main entrance, where they folded it and gently lifted it off of Stidham's shoulders to reveal a shorter, but no less extravagant cape beneath.
The War Minister coughed into his handkerchief again, taking two small pills from a cache inside one of his many signet rings, swallowing them with a grimace.

General Nakhi Welhan I watched them take the cape off. Yet he still had another one. My god he reminds me of IX sometimes. "Really? Did you need another cape? "Anyway, once the Emperor returns, there will be dinner in the Dining Hall. It's, from here, the big doors to the left. The Throne Room, directly behind me is open, as is IX's library to the right if you felt like reading." I turned around and saw Luca and Tod as well as IX... that's not IX. Oh shit. "If you wanted to speak to any government officials, the Empress and Prime Minister are right over there." Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun I grabbed a radio and said, "UNS Livina, you are to land on any large paved area at the base, other than the runway since it's currently in use. There will be fire and medical crews responding ASAP." I made several motions with my hand that would, more or less, translate to 'get them what I just said'. There was another arrival... from those communist people. Hell, they even have soldiers aboard. At least they have the courtesy to tell me when they are about to possibly invade. "Attention Centralizian craft, I recommend returning to wherever you came from unless you can explain to me in ten seconds why the hell you are in my country." Prime Minister Luca Rio "Well I was coming here anyway, then I heard about IX's party and I assumed you'd be here. "I am actually here on official business, since I just become Prime Minister. I wanted to tell IX that the AGF just liberated Haroma III, but I assume you're just as entitled to that information." I took Tisra's paw. "And while I don't think I have personally met you, I have heard of you. As I'm sure you've guessed, I am Luca." Premier Tamarynn Rio The train came to a stop at the station. Also on the train is the Federation president or something. As I stepped off the train, several Palace Guards escorted us to what appears to be a staff elevator. That should probably take us to wherever in the castle.

The skyship began to move toward an open area next to the hangars before several explosions tore it's side more, sending a large ploom of black smoke and flame into the area, and obviously injuring, if not killing, more people. "WATCH IT! WERE COMING DOWN HARD!" the ship listed on it's side before hitting the ground with a loud thud, the throm of metal against pathement sounding like the dull tone of a large church bell... or someone hitting a barrel with a hammer. "Okay we're down! Everyone is safe, we are currently shutting down the engines and evacuating all personnel onboard."
"You people need to work on your fucking landings!" says Lafi before running down the ramp and looking at the damage. "Engine three is completely gone... looks like we're gonna have to make repairs when we get home lest they have some spare warship plating we can use!"
"You'd think the Salnese would have the common decency not to fire on ships that are marked civilian" says Casper over the radio. "Anyways, we're here, looks like we made a mess on the ground... luckily that didn't send any parts flying on the way down"
"Heh, just get everyone off the ship, and take a headcount... there will be revenge for this mess"
Tod nodded a bit before smiling at the two, giving a soft giggle as he looked back down at hir daughter, letting the two talk as shi flicked hir tail about in a happy manner. "She's just too cute..!" shi whispers, only to go cross eyed when Tisra rested a paw against the bridge of hir muzzle.
Tisra nodded a bit and smiled happily. "Indeed, I have heard a lot about you. Pleasure to finally meet the mysterious Luca Rio" she rubbed her paw down Tod's muzzle length before returning it to the top of his head. "So, how else are you and Tod connected? If I may ask"

"Attention Centralizian craft, I recommend returning to wherever you came from unless you can explain to me in ten seconds why the hell you are in my country." =Darius Scheifterden, Leader of "Los Fusileros" Speacial Operations Unit="Apparently the Minister received an invitation to some sort of event happening here. We are here to escort him at his petition, because his private hovercar is outdated and not capable of hovering through the water, which would be needed to traverse the distance from Centraliza to these lands. However, considering the welcome speech, we will advice the minister to not land." The Aerial Armored Personel Carrier Alpha-3 was an efficient, yet limited edition of Centralizan design. It had good shields and armor, staying true to it's designation. On the other hand, it lacked weaponry, adding irony to the situation at hand by requiring escorts to do the defense for it. It could do a short enginge burst if necesary. The SOU Leader would not hesitate to give the order... Specially when his job, rank, and even live would be risked should he be able to come out of the situation - that is, without the Minister.

As these aeroplane came into final approach the captain saw the situation below and said "This situation is not.."
Salato's tail started to quiver, Princess's Lyie grabbed her link to the pilot.
"What ever is going on down here I do not care, Salato is looks like she will spray." "But..." "Can you land?" "Yes." "Just tell us we are landing."*
The announcement changed as even the captain didn't fancy salato going off "We are coming into land."
--- *A choice between a fire fight and being stuck in the kinda spray someone like salato could do, she had come out as a hybe. She could spray like a teerie skunk. In a pressurised aircraft, the possible fire fight looked good, as it would to most people. ---
The concord like ensemble came into land bird like, the noise it made was distinctive and loud. The bird was unarmed, civilian but elegant, obsolete, but the commonwealth did value the symbolism of the craft. It was the first project that the pre-commonwealth nations had worked together on. If they could make such an elegant anyone could make something like it, only seventeen were every made, but, that as not the point. It was as much of an symbol of the commonwealth as the people inside.

The pilot of Holmbergsvanian Air Force One, upon noticing the Cal aircraft touching down on the runway, steered the 747 onto a final approach vector.
"Finally he landed... maybe if we went to one of the other airports, we could have been down sooner" The pilot mumbled.
"Not unless you'd want to submit to a strip search, Jack"
"Maybe I should have packed the 'don't touch my junk' shirt while I had the chance..."
"Well you don't have to worry about getting off the plane, I'm sure you'll stay behind and guard it?" Prince Holmberg V stared at the console and slid into the copilot seat.
"Yes sir, besides, I've got a few books I wanna read"
"Excellent, you get acquainted with your literature, while I go meet some folks at this party we were asked to go to."
"Sounds like a good place to smooth over some alliances and trade agreements"
"Yup..." the Prince mumbled as the aircraft touched down on the runway, shaking the cockpit. "Nice work, Captain Kangaroo, you ready to bounce us to the gate now?"
"I've flown this baby for years, landings like that are-"
"Just kidding..."
The plane moved into position, Jack making sure that the plane's main door was positioned right at the steps. "Well Prince, looks like this is your stop"
"Thanks Jack, I guess I'll see you when I come back?"
"Yup, and I'll still be here."
With a nod, Prince Holmberg V checked his suit and bowtie, and moved down the steps to meet his ride to the party.
"This will be fun..."

Salato took off her seat belt, lyie was looking war with her hand on and oxygen mask, might not have blocked out the smell entirely....but might have helped.
Salato opened the door as the craft stopped. Most of the crew were more worried about the gift she was carrying for IX. A battle axe, they knew the stories from the civil was about what she could do with one of those.
She made it clear that they were not to leave until she told them.
"Where were the steps where" thought as she looked out.

"A good, heavy cape is like a blade, it must never leave one's side unless you have a rifle to compensate...Empress you say? Ah..yes..his other..wife. Well then, I'll leave Tiam here with you then so she can properly prepare, as I'm sure she's not up to the Emperor's level of elegance yet, good day to you."
Stidham hobbled over to where Tod and Luca were, stopping briefly every couple of steps as his guards caught up to him and he rested. He leaned heavily on his cane before coughing into his handkerchief to catch their attention.
"Excuse me, I do believe we have met, but on much..darker occassions...things going well Mir Vlodovic? Or is it Xaimoungkhoun now?"
Tiam sighed, watching him wander off.
"I don't suppose there are any mirrors around here I could use?"

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun I started to walk toward where the plane pulled off the runway. I said into the radio, to the Centralizans, "Alright, feel free to land. Sorry for the welcome but it's getting hectic down here. You are to wait until the Holmbergsvanians land though." I clipped the radio onto my belt as several fire trucks drove behind me, around the runway, toward the Aluezi frigate. I am probably going to end up yelling at the person in command. Whoever it was, they shouldn't have come here. Yet, I wasn't about to make them go elsewhere. That other 747 also landed and pulled in next to the Cali plane. Of course, the Cali one is the one I am concerned with. The soldiers pushed a set of stairs to the door and I was about 20' from the foot of the stairs. There were 6 soldiers, 3 on each side, bordering the walkway of sorts. The soldiers only swords oddly. They were, however, TEL soldiers - First Legion. Oddly, I am actually nervous. I don't want to start anything. Prime Minister Luca Rio "Connected? Well family wise, IX is more or less my godfather. Though he's more of a father to me than my own." I heard a door open and Rio and some other person walked out. "Speak of the devil..." Commander Vincenzo Soldavini I made a quick turn in my Humvee and pulled up to the stairs of the 747. I climbed to the hatch in the top. I said, "I guess you're the one I have to take to the Emperor's castle? Alright, get in." General Nakhi Welhan "Go up the stairs behind me, make a left, third door on the right is a bathroom. There's a mirror in there."

Tod jumped a bit as Tisra spun around on hir head, growling a bit and grabbing her off of hir head and cradling her like a baby. "Yea, I suppose I go by both!" shi smiles and chuckles softly before extending hir hand out to him. "Pleased to see you again, I do hope you are doing well!" Shi noticed the cane and the stumbling, something was wrong, but shi wouldn't mention it yet.
Tisra however, would. "You sick, comrade Stidham?" she then looked over at the door when she smelt and heard it open, seeing the other Rio. "Dammit to Hades..."

"We understand. We will be back in a while, if so the minister desires. Our fuel reserves are limited."
That was another problem of the AAPCA-3: It had a considerable energy usage and waste. This, while not increasing costs much, did make it less efficient to use when constant resupply is not available.
