The Sinking of the Great Island

[drlhyper]

2011, March 20. Centralizan Outpost of Costa Nueva.

Research on the Hyper Cannon had begun as of 2009, but had reached little progress until the Centralizans meet with the Xelanty.

This project would, however, prove a great mistake...

The Hyper-Cannon is a weapon designed to take out the Xelan-Centralizan space station, something which would cause them to invade the planet in outrage (as the Xelanty Xelan Prince Xiao'Den would be there at the moment). Centralizans would use a cloaking field to hide the island. Then once the main battles are over, they would emerge and take over what remains of the world; there would simply be nobody to stop them.

But... Someone could. If someone altered the weapon to overload at a critical moment, it will explode, taking with it the entire island.

I have to honest. I do not want to be a murderer. But it is us or the planet, and I rather die with the knowledge that I saved the planet, than with the knowledge that I helped conquer it.

I have for long remained silent in regards to this project, quietly following orders.

But I can do so no longer.

...

The explosion was massive. Althrough if nobody noticed the artificial island until a year ago, then probably nobody will notice the explosion until they find the floating debris.

Of course, Costa Nueva was also destroyed. The explosion caused a small Tsunami, which hit the coast hard.

Nothing remains, save hundreds of bodies and pieces of the artificial island which survived the explosion.

All life is dead.

OOC: I am leaving and just wanted to make it in a cooler way than "it has been nice, I am leaving". Just so you catch on it, this is not just a Role-Play post.

[Kingdoms of Cal]

The commonwealth fleet and red serpent fleet picked up the survivors.

[The Anean Star Empire]

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun

"Wait wait wait, they did WHAT?" I broke down in laughing.

Nakhi said, "Yeah, they blew themselves up."

"Stupid communists."

"Indeed. So what will you do?"

"Laugh. My. Ass. Off."

"I mean publicly."

"I'll send the 3rd Fleet south and see if we can salvage any technology. Otherwise, nothing."

"Fair enough. Should I pass along the order?"

"Can I go back to sleep?"

"Yes."

"There's your answer."

[Holmbergsvania]

President Kodiak Holmberg

"Good thing those voters passed that referendum that allowed us to deploy on aid missions without their permission"

"Why so?" One of my advisors turned around.

"Some nation named Central or whatever bit the dust. They blew themselves up. Get me in contact with Admiral Corrin. Let's see if Third Fleet can respond."

"Bringing him up on screen"

The screen flashed on, Admiral Jeremiah Corrin, and old sea salt with plenty of experience, moved into the picture.

"Admiral Corrin"

"Mr. President." Corrin saluted.

"At ease. What are your current orders?"

"We're returning to port to retrofit our vessels with new weaponry"

"Scratch that order, Admiral, we have a new mission. A massive explosion occurred in Centraliza. We need you to go there to look for survivors" Once he heard this, Corrin scratched his head.

"What? Couldn't the local authorities handle the response?"

"The entire island is gone, Admiral." I snapped back. "And I don't know if ANY Holmbergsvanian citizens were there. I want your fleet moving at flank speed, if you run into anyone else there, assist in the rescue effort, if they fight, blow em' all to hell." I spoke quickly.

"Yes sir, understood sir, Third Fleet out." The screen blinked off into oblivion.

"I hope we find survivors" I sighed.

"Same here, sir" My Interior minister spoke up.

Near what was once Centraliza, A Holmbergsvanian fleet moved silently through the waters, SH-60 Seahawks searched the remains of the continent, looking for survivors.

The search seemed highly futile.
