"Drop outside the city and attack inward, show these beasts no mercy!" The skyships lowered to 10,000 feet and opened their sides before the troops began to fly out via jetpack, all of them dressed in various types of armor. After they were on the ground, the ships landed and began to deploy vehicles and ops personnel to set up the command bases.
Tod nodded and opened a communications channel with the... whoever he could get ahold of with the military. "This is General Vlodovic, we have touched down and are awaiting tactical updates to see where it is clear to deplot and where the hot zones are" he says just as the raptors flew back overhead, one of them smoking from it's engines as it flew by. "And report on enemy anti air?"

Prince Alaric Holmberg V I left the NVPD command truck, as they had to try to manage the precise operation of breaching the congress chambers. Looking around, I spotted a National Guard temporary command center. That would give me access to more information about the military's response... hopefully. I entered the tent as the soldiers finished booting up all the hardware. "Ten-HUT! Royalty on deck!" "At ease" Man I got tired of that sometimes... "Report?" "Sir, Aluezan skyships have deployed soldiers and vehicles outside New Vancouver and Port Penguin, we're getting reports of sporadic fighting in and around New Vancouver, as well as Port Penguin, and as far as we know, the terrorists haven't gotten-" "SIR!" A Fennec soldier rushed up to the man who was speaking to me. "We got a report from our technicians, we've... uhh... lost control of the automated air defense systems" "WE'VE WHAT?" "The air defense systems around New Vancouver aren't under our control, they're trying everything they can, but they're not under our control for now" "Which means?" "Sir, we're getting a command override from somewhere- Data link from null, What is this?" Another soldier turned around. Looking out of the tents, I could see the contrails from the missiles that were launched from sites around our capitol. "May the gods help us all" I sighed, banging my head on a desk.

"Oh HELL no!" shouted one of the captains of the escort Frigates, turning broadside and opening fire on the incoming missiles, sending a good 1 million rounds a second into the air toward the fast approaching missiles, managing to shoot down a good majority of them before they slammed into the ships on the ground and in the air.
Tod blinked at the explosions before growling lowly and rubbing his eyes. "Good thing those didn't do much damage... how many were injured?" he asks, securing his helmet just as he climbed aboard a HIND F.
"Ten minor injuries, no casualties." Alueza pinged in and identified the direction of the rocket attacks with a 80 percent guess rate. "Targets identified, firing counter missiles now" several loud howls were heard as the rockets were launched from the frigates, the Yashrim IV's streaking across the skies as they headed toward the nearest targets. Would they hit? Anyones guess.
"This is UNS Firetail, we are moving out for heavy fire support, cargo is unloaded"

Arabarath was handed a report on the actions unfolding.
"Firing on thousands of innocent civilians? Martial Law?"
He spoke frankly, "Well, viva la revolucion..."
"Leonic, keep me posted on the furmanitarian points here, we may have to make sure that they don't become some kind of 3rd world country up there."

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "Luca, do you have a radio on you?" I said. "Yes." The soldier said. He handed one back to me. "Attention New Gracaria, this is Emperor Xaimoungkhoun. The reports of my death was caused by misinformation. I am still alive. I am, however, still intent on repealing the slavery. It's unnecessary and I realize my mistake. "I am on the way to the Capitol now and I would rather not get shot at again." Commander Vincenzo Soldavini There was some celebration as the Emperor came over the radio. I, however, wasn't celebrating. This will be difficult to explain to the Cali. Just as well, the massacre thing will be difficult to explain without them thinking we are lying. --- To: Prime Minister Salato From: Commander Vincenzo Soldadvini
I only just got the information. It seems that the private military contractor known as Megamantics Corporation has been taking the law into its own hands. They are not controlled by the government, as I'm sure you can guess, and are generally independent in anything they do.
On a side note, we have received information that the Emperor is in fact alive. He has still, however, vowed to do away with the slavery legislation.
The situation at the colony is deteriorating rapidly. It seems they are intent on blaming anything they can. For example, and this one involves you, the ex-military in the colony have been blaming your people for bring the nuclear attack on the colony during the Federation invasion last year. Ambassador Nakhi Welhan I laughed. "Well I wonder what that something could be." I put an arm around her. "It's kind of odd. To me at least. Watching a whole group of people just... disperse. And then a picnic. That's... well at least it wasn't violent. I can thank the gods for that."

15 minutes after deployment
All across the city now was a storm that made Desert Storm look like a piece of cake, APC convoys and T-95's were seen rolling through the streets and into the deeper parts of the town, killing anyone that dare stood against them. Which was almost any terrorist that dared try to take a pot shot at the heavily armored vehicles and soldiers.
Rockets rained down from the skies and hit strategic positions across the city, destroying what they could of the air defense before they could hit their air support again.
"Attention All citizens of New Vancouver, martial law is in effect and curfew is in effect until further notice. Any citizens caught out will be arrested, excessive force will be used if need be!" announced a voice from above from the skyships as they passed overhead, the same message being repeated in fifteen different languages to make sure that the people understood what was going on.
Tod's APC shuddered hard as it ran over a police car that had been blown up in the street, the massive armored vehicle roaring like a monster as it passed over the wreck with ease, the turret firing 30mm Uranium rounds up into the enemy positions that dotted the street they rolled across. "Everyone out, storm the buildings and clear them! Teams of two GO!" he says over the comms channel as the back of the APC opened, the white geared soldiers rushing out and firing up into the windows as they rushed toward the buildings, kicking down the doors and entering them with ease.
"Gonna need more than an Uzi or an AK to stop us!" boasted one of the cadets as he followed Tod into the lobby of a Hotel, gunning down several gunfurs before moving to the stairs. "Moving up!"
"Hold, let me go first!" he says as he stepped into the stair well, moving slowly up the stairs before shooting another one of the gunmen as he tried to shoot him. "Enemy down!"

What are our options, Zeek?
323K14L began his presentation. "There are two locations of considerable note here, New Astrapolis and Metropolitan Holmbergsvania. Metro Holmbergsvania is currently being secured by Aluez. ASE is another story. I believe that Megamantics is still operating in New Astrapolis."
"Holbergsvania doesn't deserve this happening to them", Vuela said, "They're a free country, why them?"
"It was an opportunistic attack.", said Zeek, "Unfortunately, that strait right now is basically inaccessible. And with our history of terrible communication with the Aluezi, I'm afraid we may not be able to effectively offer combat aid to the Principality.
However, the terrorist organization, Megamantics, is still operating on the island. Specifically in New Astrapolis. We may be able to offer combat assistance to neutralize Megamantics and restore some order to the city. Please see the hand-out."
Vuela looked at it briefly and said, "Clusterf**k. Zeek, this is practically an occupation!"
"Hey", Zeek said, "watch your language. It's operation: Charlie Foxtrot. Not... what you said."
"I can't do that", Vuela said, "We're not going to try to occupy a part of New Astrapolis. Even if it is what they need to restore order and avert a furtarian disaster... They'll thank us by declaring war on us!"
"This is how order is restored and justice is served, Vuela!", he shouted, "You get the civilians out of the way, into shelter, and you contain and neutralize the threatening force. You count and record the civilians, you provide something to act as an ombudsman and account for losses caused by the war. YOU KEEP THE LAW RUNNING. The trouble starts when the law breaks down. Which is precisely what Megamantics has done. They have destroyed order by breaking THE LAW!!!", he yelled.
"We're not doing it", said Andertol.
"Why NOT?!", shrieked Zeek.
"Because they haven't asked us to.", said Andertol, "First of all, it's the emporer's responsibility to restore order and provide justice. Second, I don't think the ASE forces have very clear commands or objectives right now because of the power vacuum. Unless the leadership of Megamantics has a death-wish, I'm thinking they're going to keep a low-profile from this point on, now that the Emporer is confirmed to be not dead.
More importantly, these people hate us. They have been told by the state news that we're a bunch of crazy hoodlums running around naked, boinking robots and smoking pot.
Megamantics operates their own media even, and you know what? I bet after Sweizalthorpe's little speech: they're probably calling us the f***ing Pudrians or something.
If IX wants us to help in re-establishing order, then we'll talk. But I'm not about to go waste a ton of resources on making the situation worse."
"I think we should discuss Holmbergsvania", Vuela said.
"Ok, page 2 of the packet", said Zeek.
"What, there was only one page of planning for the Operation: Clusterfu... foxtrot.? Are you kidding me?", said Andertol
Zeek shrugged and said, "Moving on.
Port Penguin. We can get in there and add to the peace-keeping presence. Here's a plan for assisting in the maintaining of order in Port Penguin and establishing a secured, furtarian staging point for organizations like Red Serpent and other aid groups."
"Ok, let's start there."
--
To: Prince Alaric Holmberg, President Holmberg, Holbergsvania forces, et al CC: Aluezi forces
"Hello and/or Greetings, We are sending supplies and peace-keeping personnel to assist in maintaining order and law in your country, and to assist the Aluez forces in their efforts to do such as well. We hope that with our combined efforts, we can minimize the duration for which this martial law is necessary, and help bring those who have wronged your country to swift justice.
-Apparateur Ierska Sweizalthorpe."

Prince Alaric Holmberg V, Acting President of Holmbergsvania My calm was broken by a tiger in NVPD garb rushing into the tent, wheezing. "Captain Raleigh?" "We've got men pinned in buildings all around the city... SWAT, normal officers, etc." "Mobilize the rest of Metro" "WE CAN'T!" Raleigh shouted. "I've got the ENTIRE Metro division out trying to clear buildings, but the terrorists are getting the upper hand on them-" I switched my microphone to the Aluezian frequency. "This is Acting President Alaric Holmberg to all Aluez units, We have reports of NVPD SWAT officers and street officers pinned inside buildings, we have no other resources to deploy to try to rescue them- if you can try to rescue them, we'll owe you guys. Also, try to take some of these terrorist bastards captive, we'll handle them our own ways..." "Sir-" A fennec soldier turned around. "Message from another nation sir, they want to lend aid" "Who?" "Miokalia" "Bring them in, we need Port Penguin secure. We're overextended as it is" I laid my head on a table. This wasn't happening. Our nation under attack again...

"It's like the bloody underworld out there."
"Seems that way sir."
"Don't patronize me, just make sure you're ready, I heard that the Worldport got blown wide open, so we're going to have to land on the ruddy highway."
"Engkori!"
"Oh cool it....Anean Flight Control, this is Airdaemon Alpha Zero One from Aatuylva, and Airdaemon Alpha Zero Two, requesting permission to land at any available port or long stretch of land. We are low on fuel and carrying medical supplies. Don't worry about security we've got enough to keep the crazies off, but we'll need some coordinates so we get close to any supply trucks you have. I assume all available landing zones are hot?"

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun We got into a convoy that was thrown together for us. Just a couple GK-Is and us. Enough to get us to the Capitol. We got to up to 100 mph and sped down the ramp into the Citadel. In just five minutes, we were at the Capitol. Well, the military perimeter to the Capitol. One of the soldiers opened the back door for me and, with five soldiers around me, I was brought into the Capitol as fast as possible. Several gunshots went past my head. Finally we were inside. Luca was close behind me as well. Immediately I began to pass orders around. First one was to get the slavery thing repealed. Second was to ready a press room for me. 20 Minutes Later I stepped up to my podium. I am still wearing my torn suit, still bandaged, and still bleeding of course. I think I might have broken something too. Soldavini passed along a message to me. A response to asking for foreign assistance a little while ago from the Cali. Basically they told us to go fuck ourselves. "People of the world, this is Emperor Xaimoungkhoun. Despite the messages, I am still alive. There was misinformation that led to the assumption that I was killed. This is not the case. Now, to move on to more pressing issues. "The last few hours have been a trying time for the colony. There has been rioting, fighting in the streets, massacres, and a loss of law and order. The Empire, as of right now, is teetering on the brink of collapse. "The only real upside to this is that peace is finally beginning fall upon the colony. I am in the process of repealing the slavery legislation in order to end the fighting here and to, hopefully, repair international relations which I so willingly threw away with no thought. "I would, normally, request foreign assistance in dealing with this situation, but I know it won't come under these circumstances. Too many on this planet are probably enjoying this fighting right now. Only because we're aliens. "There is going to be a short ground war to liberate New Astrapolis. Afterward the Empire will enter into a state of isolation. No longer will we meddle in the affairs of other nations on this planet. We've already done enough damage as is." I stepped off camera and left the room. Commander Vincenzo Soldavini "The only place you'd be able to land is on the highways. Unless you want to go over the mountains to New Gracaria AFB. There's no supply convoys on the west side of the island and at this time I cannot pull any troops away from the fighting. You're on your own. I strongly recommend returning home."

"Alright boys and girls, and everything not adequately described by those nouns...", Richter thought for a moment about how he should come up with a more concise way to address his command, then continued, "We will be arriving in Port Penguin shortly. The first thing we're going to do is establish a presence on the streets of the waterfront. Holmbergsvania is in a state of Martial Law at this time, which means it is appropriate to use thermal scans to confirm the occupants of buildings. Civilians are not to harmed under any circumstances, obviously. If there is a hostage situation: Then we will go through appropriate procedures.
In addition to enforcing the Law, there will be Urban Operations units conducting rescue operations for civilians who may be hiding in their cars, under their cars, in mailboxes, and so on. By the same token, they will also be looking for potential ambushes.
About 5 minutes behind us are 8 mech inf units. That's a total of 64 GODOS systems. They're going to be ensuring our presence on the streets. They are fitted with nonleathal parkerfoam* cannons for crowd control and rapid detainment.
We also have about 40 tons of Twix candy we're bringing in. To be issued to civilians on sight."
There was a slight laugh amongst the company,
"Anyway: Aluez seems to have already cleared the way for air support. Once we've set up base and gotten a staging point secured for the aid folks, we're going to clear bringing up the carrier MZS Fhtagn to assist with securing the strait.
You all have your packets with your orders.
But first, we're making a short stop in north KZ for a supply-check and assignments"
*Very very sticky, foamy goo for riot control.

At the military base the briefing was already begun in a hanger, with about 450 soldiers inside.
"Listen men, we're headed in to just keep the peace. That means you don't go an SHOOT anybody just because they looked at you funny."
The soldiers chuckled.
We're not here to start a war. If you take fire, you phone home; and defend yourselves, but so help me if I hear a report of any Kazian firing first. You make sure the Holmbergsvanians get their country back as quick as possible. I'll personally make sure ya all get a nice cold brew if ya make me proud!"
"Where's my Rev Raptor crews?" A few soldiers cheered "You boys are backin' up the Miokalian GODOS units."
"General Keleemvor? Message for you sir." The husky was interrupted by a salute from a subordinate. "The convoy will be landing in 5 minutes, and the 10 Rev Raptors you requested have been mobilized and are ready to move."
"Thank you son," he dismissed the subordinate "These Miokalian bolt-bags are here for fuel and supplies, and they want to take you all on a little field trip," he said sarcastically smiling,"You will have live munitions but I doubt you're gonna fire any. Good hunting! Captain Bide, move em out. I want this meat wagon wheels up in 30."
The soldiers woo'd and cheered as the general left.
General Keleemvor spoke over a radio to the Miokalians, "Captain Richter, this is General Krombrec Keleemvor of the Aries Airforce Base in Unincorporated Killer Zoids. You are hear by cleared to land on any available tarmac to begin refueling and supply operations."
A few moments later, the Miokalian convoy landed at Aries Airforce Base in Unincorporated North KZ and the operation began. The Miokalian planes and whale kings began taking on fuel and supplies. The KZ corolaries were taking on the Rev Raptors, urban vehicles, and water bisons. [[OOC: Water bison is a term used for tanks full of water people can drink]]
"Units are stowed and ready for take off," a private nervously addressed General Keleemvor. "Good work soldier." He sensed the private's nervousness. "Here. Take this." Krombrec handed the private a Knife with an etching 'Far Omen, Sal Quai'. "I wont be joining this firefight. Got some bigger fish to fry. This brought me luck years back, maybe it will you."
"To peace, through battle.. " the private read. "Sir, Thank you sir!" He stowed the knife in his gear and bounded away to ready for take off."
They also flew the KZ flag adorned with olive branches to symbolize the peaceful intentions.

"Roger, your recommendations are duly noted and ignored sir, we are going to try and land at the Air Force Base. Tell them to clear the fields, these monsters are huge and they're going to be coming in heavy."
The pilot placed the radio back into the cradle, and grinned back at the 'unofficial' passenger who was riding up there with him and the copilot.
"Watch it sir, this is going to be a bit bumpy."
The lynx grumbled, strapping himself in. He was wearing a black uniform with no markings, and was carrying several scroll-cases on his person. His identification badge simply said he was a member of Aatuylvan Internal Security. He was sent to assess the current situation in New Gracaria in order to determine what further assistance would be needed.
The pilot picked up the radio again.
"This is AirDaemon Alpha Zero One, requesting permission to land at New Gracaria Airforce Base. I've got supplies ready to be distributed as soon as possible. We can't dally too long, our fuel's almost gone, so we might have to drop in on you, AirDaemon Alpha Zero Two has less fuel and will be landing first. Clear the runways, prep your firefighters, these birds are fat as all hell."
One of the behemoth military planes, designed using the K-7's specs, only geared upwards for the larger needs of the Aatuylvan Defense Corps, began to slowly turn, heading for the mountains. The first turned to follow it, groaning sounds from the wings and structure causing the InShtu agent to flatten his ears. He stuffed the scroll cases into his jacket, securing the straps around his neck, and began to pray.
---------------------------------------------
"Give me an update people."
Everyone in the command bunker jumped up out of their seats, saluting when he came in.
"At ease you crazy bastards, give me the news."
"Sir, our two planes just dropped out of radio transmission range, whatever jammers the Aneans have in place, they're pretty damn good."
"Ruddy hell. We're going to have to have very stern words with them concerning their 'protocols' after this is over..."
"We've got reports coming in that a United Nations hospital ship is hovering out in international waters, scared shitless of moving anywhere out of fear of military reprisal, it's got a destroyer escort, and is trying to wrangle permission to send in it's helicopters to pick up wounded and drop off medical supplies at the hospitals. Tyri Air Command says they've got a couple civilian skyships loaded up with food and water, ready to go when the coast is clear, and our firefighting aircraft have gotten the wildfires contained enough to be redirected to Holmbergsvania...the only one that can reach New Gracaria is the modified Airdaemon."
"Alright, tell the people in Tyr to hold off until we re-establish contact with the two planes we sent in, as soon as we get word that they're alright, they can move in. Get that K-7 over to New Gracaria yesterday. Get our water-choppers filled up and give them the go to fuel-hop their way up there, and radio ahead to the Holmbergsvanian navy and let them know they'll need to be refueled at their airstations. How are we on the home front?"
"Fires are contained, but I'm not sure you did much structural damage to the suspected hideouts."
"It wasn't meant to. Fire is more often than not a terror weapon. They'll be quiet and wait for everything to die down, because they know next time it will be high explosives...ruddy Uldezyr..."
Stidham began to tap against the top of his cane. Too much. Something's going to give, something is just going to blow, he knew it...
But where, and when?

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "We have no assistance coming?" I asked. "Not even from our so-called allies?" "No sir." Soldavini said. "Aatuylva has a couple planes coming in, but that's it. We're on our own sir." "And you said Holmbergsvania is under attack as well?" "Yes sir." "And they're getting aid from... the Aluezi, Aatuylvans, and supposedly the Miokalians and Kazians? See, this is why I refused to sign that alliance charter. EVERYONE ignoring us, even those that are supposed to be our allies. And people thought I was being an ass for wanting nothing to do with them." "I understand sir." "Then there's a Megamantics massacre in New Astrapolis, fighting in New Nordavic, and we STILL have no assistance?" "Yes sir." "Well fuck the world then. I guess my order for isolation was the right thing to do. Send a message to the Megamantics forces. Tell them to pull out of New Astrapolis. Then we have to increase police presence to deal with any further violent rioting." "Yes sir." "I, meanwhile, will be heading to New Astrapolis with a group of NGDF soldiers to restore order." "Yes sir." "Will you stop doing that?" "Yes... sir..."

Prime minister salato, Foreign sectary Al, home secretary Fa and protector Inca were looking over the latest intelligence. Inca had found some troops for the defence sectary to inspect, a long way from anywhere, the fur had flipped and would be reshuffled off to some where they couldn't do any harm.
Salato muttered "We ain't that popular up there?" Inca muttered "I could get some people up there, but I'm not sure...then again the UBC has go their hands on some footage of.." Fa said "That'll get the people on side for military action, well make them neutral at least." All eyes were on Al, he took a sip of brandy and thought.
"We have few friends up there, but we had better not go in with out invitation. I don't know if they would take it any how. Well that and one of my juniors basally told them to get knoted" Al mused.
Fa said quietly "I have heard of this group they seem nasty, but they don't seem to have any real pull here. The intel I've got suggests our home grown nasty types don't like them."
Salato sighed "With luck they will not take up the offer, but something is going on up there and as unstable as IX is his people might be one round in time.
Basically the best of a bad bunch."
IX message was received and salato said to Inca "What do we have up there?" Inca sighed "Not much in the way of troops, we have a number at Starus nu, might be able to get a regiment up there quickly and the Thacken marines are billeted there. I could move them to alert? Well them and what ever we have in the way of special forces up there."
Salato sighed "mobilise what we have I'll get on the phone to the other party leaders. They should be easy enough to get on board so we can move with out parliamentary approval...A good will visit."
"A very well armed good will visit." Fa smiled.
"A very strong, well armed good will, but it depends on whether IX accepts it."
-----
To: Commander Vincenzo Soldadvini From: Prime Minister Eye Salato en, Executive Spire, Parliamentary Complex, Tel, KC
Please disregard the previous message, some people had not heard of IX's change of heart.
We have been monitoring the situation and are willing to send a 'good will visit' consisting of the Thacken marines and the fourth Saeie regiment. Perhaps a bit of a display from the air craft from the base and the naval air power we can muster. Of course if they get fired upon they would fire back...Just make sure your people don't fire at them, but the other side might not be so well informed.
We can have this operation...sorry good will visit in the air with in a hour or so. Should you wish to accept the 'visit'
Should more good will be required, we will start mobilising other parts of our military. Oh yes If there is any location where you would like us to demonstrate some of our ordnance's ability. Just ask.
Yours Salato.
--- Tailinto snuggled up to Nakhi smiling "You get used to just how random people can be round here at times. It's a nice day, they've got what they wanted, why not just take advantage of it and well. The general public aren't usually allowed into the gardens here, them being owned by the surrounding buildings and all.
Well that and most people round here have been on umpteen demos before so always bring something to eat and drink. It didn't last as long as they thought it would so they are just making an afternoon of it."
She indicated a bench that had recently been returned to it's original location. Some of the demonstrators had obviously thought it might make a good battering ram. Some others had put it back, no point wrecking the place.
"So then you given any though to names?" tailinto smiled.
