General Luca Rio And here we go. Bordering on international incident. "Yes, that's the best I can think of right now. Special forces or not, there are more important things right now. In this case it's building defenses so we don't get overrun in minutes. This road must be held at all costs. If they get through here, the capital will fall and the Empire falls with it. "We only have 300 soldiers here right now. Chances are no more of ours will arrive unless there's some act of god. And you need to coordinate with our forces. "And the Emperor already passed the order along to NOT tolerate disobedience from foreign forces on our territory. So. Get. In. The. Car. Now."

New Vancouver Police Department Headquarters "Should be in the chief's room on the top level, sir" An officer replied, lowering his pistol as the new guests arrived. The situation was improving, with Aluezi and Miokalian support as well as limited help from a nation known as KZ, the temporary war was moving along quite smoothly.

Captain Richter at Port Penguin CENCOM
A couple radio operators threw up a high-three and announced excitedly, "Waterfront district secure! The riot is dispersed, KZ has firefighters on the scene and all fires are under control. Local police precincts are all secure and running, they'll soon be able to process arrests."
"Ok and what about the rest of town.", the captain asked.
"The Yellow #12, Red #2, #4, #8 GODOS units are reporting that they didn't even have to fire a shot. A total of 2 tons of Twix candy has been issued to civilians at their residences during missing-persons reports collection. Yellow #5 has secured the downtown firestation. Situation is under control in the financial district. We have a total of 12 injured hostages from across the city at the Waterfront field hospital. The Red Serpent ship RSS Allegheny arrived at port an hour ago and is expanding the field hospital. No hostage casualties so far!", announced the monitoring commander.
"That's how it get's done.", the Captain stated and then began a short applause.
"KZ says they've secured lower downtown, the shipping terminal and our combined forces have engaged a terrorist stronghold in the warehouse district!", said another radio operator.
"Please tell me they've got the mechanized infantry there.", the Captain asked.
"19 Revrapters. We have 12 GODOS moving in to the site to support them right now. It's a firefight.", she said.
"Alright. Let's get this this taken care of.", he replied, "Divert a third of the GODOS units from the waterfront to the warehouse district just in case, especially if they disperse. I don't want a single one of the enemy combatants escaping arrest."

Kan sighed he was under orders to co-operate with the locals, even though he thought there defence plans were full hardy. To his mind trying to defend with little more than infantry in this open terrain was insane, better to defend in depth and in an urban environment tanks were sitting ducks. He needed the armies heavy stuff if they were going to fight in this terrain. The marines had some, heavy stuff, but not much and this far inland the naval guns could be used, but the ships would have to come far to far inshore for their own safety.
Kan said "Yes sir" rather unconvincingly.
He knew the marines would be here in time, but the regular army, that would be tricky, though he had seen them playing with new something odd toys at the base. He figured they would be sending them in, it would be interesting to see how they worked for real.
He turned to his furs and said "well guys, get digging"
Then he smiled "Oh yeah, go silver if you see anything big and get those holes dug quick." .

General Luca Rio Sir? Sir? SIR? I got out of the Skirmisher and slammed the door hard. I think I probably broke something. Probably the door. "Who the FUCK are you calling 'sir'?" I grabbed by boobs, since I don't know how else to get this across. "Men do not have these! Clearly you must be blind or something. Now, I want you in the car now or I swear to god that I will tie you up to it and drag you to the Commander." Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun Colonel Argentieri brought me some person as I stepped out of the Capitol. "Sir, he wanted to speak with you about something." I said to the person, "Yes?"

"For the moment you can assume that I represent the ODI, your Majesty. We apologize for not helping you sooner, but Iron Talon has prevented almost everyone with the ability to help you from even approaching your waters, for fear of Megamantics patrols shooting at them. There are four skyfreighters from Aluez who are on standby, waiting to be brought in to distribute medical supplies, they even have doctors willing to help at your hospitals...there is a growing line of supply ships from the UN and the Red Cross, and at least one hospital ship that can take on wounded, but all of them refuse to enter without assurance of safe passage, and, considering that attacking a hospital ship without due cause is among the top worst war crimes on the planet, they didn't figure the Aneans would have known and haven't bothered to come any closer as long as the Iron Talon message is being broadcasted. I have a list of several radio frequencies that I must humbly request you stop jamming, so that I can facilitate the authorization of more K-7 Airdaemons to funnel supplies and troops to your country, and to give the all-clear to the NGOs and civilians. The Aluezi are also willing to send a handful of their sky-destroyers to help protect convoys, but no one can move a finger until they're sure some Anean behind the guns of a battleship isn't going to use them for target practice. I apologize for the harshness of my words, but it is hard for many to accept Soldavini's request for help when the last time a charitable organization listened to him their ships were sent to the bottom of the sea."

Kan looked at her and said dismissively as he opened the door to the Skirmisher "Would you rather we treated females differently? The language used by the military in thack or the rest of the commonwealth has no male or female pronouns. A warrior is just that, their sex does not matter, half my people here are female."
He shrugged "If you can fight, we don't care, get over it. In a situation like this I would think that was more important than ever."

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "Considering my main port just got blown to kingdom come and my only other port is currently under enemy control, I don't think ships will be able to get in and out. "As for the radios, we're not jamming anything anymore. Granted the lack of response might make it seem that way, but comms are open again. "And I understand hesitation, but there were breaches of protocol on both sides. The 'charitable' organization wasn't supposed to be there and Soldavini wasn't supposed to let them in." General Luca Rio "Fair enough. It's just not common in the Empire." I got in the passenger seat and we started toward the highway. "And I am a soldier. Not a warrior. Before you complain, yes there is a difference. A warrior is an untrained brute that is extremely ineffective. When in danger, they tend to rampage. Attacking everything. "A soldier is trained for combat. To keep their heads in the worst situations. I'd say that a soldier has 10 times the skill of a warrior, if a warrior has any skill at all. "Just saying. Not a big deal, but it's worth correcting in my mind. I can't bring myself to use the terms interchangeably. Been in the military 60 some years now and I have seen the differences as to how soldiers and warriors react. "Moreover, use your terms properly when on the island. I'm sure the Commander won't like being called a warrior or his soldiers called such."

Kan smiled "To us it is the opposite, anyone can be trained to be a soldier, but not everyone is born to be a warrior."
Kan laughed "To be called a warrior is a complement. A soldier can be made a warrior is born, you can not make them, they just are."
Kan then said quietly "I will stick to your customs. It is just manners. But every member of the marines has a warrior spirit, we just honed it.
The army just picked the warriors out. Even the army refuses a two thirds of applicants before they even enlist."

"Hmph. If I may use your radio facilities then? I have some calls to make."

General Luca Rio "I see. At least I know this now. Cultural differences are interesting at times. "I am also impressed. I figured I'd have to boot you off the island for being an asshole, as I have seen from your people on occasion, almost as soon as you landed. "Maybe we aren't too different after all. The Aneans are soldiers at heart. Most of the people here were born during war or fought in some of the Empire's worst fighting in centuries." We arrived at Soldavini's command center, a little trailer behind the hills where the soldiers are digging trenches. On the Highway, a handful of GK-Is, with NGDF insignias, were moving. Hopefully the Emperor arrives with reinforcements. "Come on, this is the place." I got out and headed to the door. Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun I handed him my radio. "That's just as good. If you need to use facilities, it's 3 floors under the Capitol. Just ask a soldier. Tell them... Izzy*... sent you. Long story. Best not to ask. "I have to gather some soldiers and move south anyway. Megamantics forces are probably going to head to here." --- * His new nickname, just for laughs, shall be Izzy.

"I highly doubt this has trans-continental range...but if you insist. Your ships will have to pass the message along."
-------------------------------------------------------
Tyri Airfields Citystate of Tyr Technocracy of Ryvuul Confederacy of Aatuylva
This was the first time Corzi had the opportunity to look upon the new transport vehicle that Stidham was touting about.
Airdaemons indeed.
Four of them, in all, loaded with a full regiment of soldiers and equipment, including several of the armor-hunters and rocket artilleries...
And all probably for naught. Even with splendid Aatuylvan engineering, the planes could only go so fast. It would take at least eleven hours to arrive at their destination, and by then it may be in enemy hands.
Alas, such was the way of these things. If that was the case, then he will die taking it back. He looked at the Aluezian skyships, wishing them fair winds...
They would arrive six hours before he would, and were far less armed, save for the two sky-destroyers.
Gods help them.
--------------------------------------------------
New Gracaria Air Force Base Colony of New Gracaria
The Airdaemons, unloaded of their goodwill supplies, now began to reload the Aatuylvan escorts and soldiers...barely a company, between the two of them, with only eight tankettes, a pair of Ontos's, and three light tanks, and they were all short on ammo from defending against scavengers and Megamantics troops who were cut off that they were now nothing more than expensive bullet shields...
But duty was duty, they were headed for the highway in order to assist the Aneans.
ETA - Roughly two hours.
-----------------------------------------------
He walked back in, handing the Emperor the radio.
"Thank you. The freight ships are going to coordinate with civilian air operators and allied aircraft carriers to ship the supplies in by helicopter. The hospital ship also has a heli, and is already beginning to alleviate your hospitals by taking on any they can't handle. Our support troops that are here are being relocated...you should be happy to know that the fire suppressant your people use is compatible with our fire-fighting plane. It should help quench the flames of Nordavic...ETA on reinforcements is two hours, then another three for the Aluezian supply convoy. Six hours after that the Aatuylvan reinforcements will arrive. You really are a long bloody way from everywhere, you know that?"

Kan followed her then Kan smiled "We're both war...sorry soldiers, last I checked there isn't a whole lot of difference between people in our profession. My title may be baron, but I earned it I didn't get it because of my blood and it is a military title.
Saying that there has not been a war yet that thack has been in that one of my ancestors did not fight in. The same is true of many of my furs, seems some families naturally produce warriors. The thacken marines are in my blood. "
Then he shurgged "As for the arse holes you've met from the commonwealth..civilians, go figure."
He tapped his ear piece and said quietly "The marines are closing, could you make sure not one from your side fires on their transports and is there anywhere we could set up an ad hock air base...this road might be straight and wide enough."
--- Down south the commonwealth were bringing more forces to alert status and at sea all the commonwealth forces in the area were making steam for the island. One of the commonwealths few amphibious assault ships was amongst them. It would take some hours but the ships were forming an attack fleet from what they had in the area, more ships were heading north from the commonwealth it self, though it would be some time before they would reach the island. The commonwealth's other long range amphibious assault ships were amongst them.

[[[OOC: I haven't had a lot of time this weekend to do this, and next week is possibly going to be extremely busy, so for the sake of not holding things up: Assume my 2000 soldiers have already uneventfully arrived and are following Anean command's instructions ]]]

Port Penguin CENCOM
Commander Ulrich radioed in a report on the Warehouse stand-off. "Arrests have been made. We have arrested 12 gunmen and confiscated over 38 tons of Ammonium Nitrate, probably intended for explosives. The last 3 blew themselves up near a shipping crane. The crane did not collapse, but I had my boys put some safety flags on it because it really should be inspected. We've got 2 GODOS down from explosives and some Revrapters lost some pieces, but this was a very smooth operation so far. The Warehouse District is secure."
Mission Accomplished.
Richter passed the notice to Holmbergsvanian command.
"Port Penguin is secure. Arrests have been made and the terrorists have been neutralized. Awaiting your authorization for the release of martial law."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
New Astrapolis MRZF OPCOM (aboard the MZS Ellis)
"Support is on the ground now, they're under Anean orders now", said a radio operator.
"Good. May the gods or whatever is applicable to them be with them. They'll need it.", he said, "What's the status of our standby forces?"
"DPZ06 units are all ready for rapid deployment. Ready to contact Calie Command regarding coordination of support.", the operator said, "Megamantics has missiles armed. We're detecting lock sweeps on the MZS Kiekergaard. Likewise, the Kiekergaard is currently under commands for Strategy T."
"Alright, now let's just hope that everything goes just dandy on the Colony Island so we don't have to do anything else.", he said.
