OOC: Reunion thread between me and Izumo :3
The governor had worked throughout the night, alternating between pen, quill, and signets as he completed the finishing touches on the letter he was composing.
It was a long overdue one, to be sent to cousins in the north whom Aatuylva had once been very close to, but had lost contact with...
In all honesty, he actually had to pull out several scrolls and history books on the matter, concerning a long lost prince and what little relations the Kingdom of Accallia had during it's wars with the Lupine Commonwealth, most of it was quite fascinating...
He shook his head, finishing up the letter. There was plenty of time to read about revolutions and wars later, when this was done.
He quickly scrawled out an address on a tag and attached it to the special scrollcase, and after waiting a few minutes for the ink to dry, he rolled up the paper and put it into the ornate case.
There, that should do it...let's hope the mail service doesn't screw this one up like last time.
He sighed, closing the gold end-caps of the case and dropping it into the vacuum tube, watching it zip away.
Hopefully it would go to a pilot who wasn't a chucklehead...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
It was an odd craft, to be sure. The pilots aboard her were not chuckleheads, no indeed, but very serious about their jobs. The plane was a Kilar-Shelki-Argurn AV-12, or as the Aatuylvans more affectionately called it, an 'elbow box', for the joints and pieces it used in changing from horizontal flight to vertical flight.
It was an unruly 'tiltwing' aircraft, designed to work in the limited land space of Aatuylva. It shook quite a bit after taking off, the transition into horizontal flight a process still being worked on for the AV series, and it headed for Izumo, and within a few hours was requesting permission to land at the nearest available airfield or helipad, as well as fuel...

It was around 5pm Local time at Vampbrook International airport, slightly less busy then usual as air traffic over the skies of the island eased up once night began falling. The Controllers on station we're relaxed for the evening, with less traffic above they would take breaks from there position more frequently and during the day, that was if there wasn't an emergency in the air.
"Air Holmbergvania Flight 147 you are cleared to taxi to runway 3, taxi traffic is zero over", one of the air traffic controllers, an blue heeler said over the airways with a thick Australian accent. "Roger that Vampbrook tower, taxing out now over", Flight 147 responded as the 737 roared to lift and began to pull away from the terminal.
The Blue Heeler then turned to his two colleagues, a female Akita and a male Caucasian human. "What are the remaining flights we expecting for the rest of the night", the Aussie canine asked, as the human looked at a large PDA in his hands while the Akita monitored the rader. "Looks like we have two more flights from Port Penguin, a Air Holmbergvania Flight 257 and Izumo Airways flight 302, both 737's, then we have a Izumo Airways flight 454 which is a 757, flying out to Zye City", the human male explained with a scottish accent as he breathed in and sighed, relaxing into his seat.
"looks like just another quiet night", the heeler replied as he too relaxed back into his seat and turned back to the traffic radar. "umm Landon, Denis, i think you might want to have a look at this", the Akita called out in a soft Japanese accent. Her human colleague responded as he got up and came over to her, as she pointed to a flashing blip on the radar screen at the bottom left corner, marked as unknown. "It just popped up a minute ago...Speed is...436 mph", she said again, turning to her colleague who looked at her with a hint of confusion. "That's abit slow for a commercial aircraft, how are is it from vampbrook Alysia?", he asks her as the Akita checks her screen again. "About 23.5 miles from the south western tip of the island", she replied back as the human then turned to the blue heeler. "Denis see if you can get in contact with them, see what's there problem is". The male canine nodded as he tried to get a fix on the unknown aircraft's radio frequency, finally getting something after a few minutes.
"Ihenne kapti R'tani, Aatuylvi Airveenz ah vee twef, rekestins prupiru for landingk, pleez?"
The Heeler's ears flatten and perked up in confusion as he tried to understand what he was getting, "Unidentified aircraft this is Vampbrook tower, please say again, i repeat, please say again?".
"Ihenne kapti R'tani, Aatuylvi Airveenz ah vee twef, rekestins prupiru for landingk, pleez?"
He then turned to his human colleague, looking very confused, "there not making any sense, i don't even understand the language there speaking but i keep getting the same bloody message!". The human just rubbed his forehead as he looked at his PDA again, "the only other aircraft that should be coming from that direction isn't due to arrive until 5 am...I don't like the sound of this one bit...keep tracking them, I'm going to contact chieftain air base and see if there picking it up as well". The human then picked up a phone and dialed on and then placing to his ear as the called when though, "Chieftain air command this is vampbrook tower, we have detected a unidentified aircraft on our screens, we attempted contact but we can't get anything out of them over". He nodded as he listened to the voice on the other end before turning to his Colleagues, "Denis Alysia, keep tracking that aircraft, the military thinks it maybe a hijacking!".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 minutes after Vampbrook tower made control with Chieftain airbase, the military on the island was placed on level 3 alert as air raid sirens sounded at the airfield in the north. Two Izumo Sea harriers taxied out onto the runway, both colored in light blue and yellow markings of the Izumo self defence air force. "Chieftain tower this is Ghost leader, Ghost flight ready for take off over", the lead pilot sounded off. "Roger Ghost flight your clear for take off, bogey is 20 miles off the south west coast, intercept and escort them to vampbrook international over", the tower sounded back as the two harriers roared to life, streaking down the runway and lifting off into the sky, banking left as there landing gears retracted, heading towards the coast.

"Ihenn Miro R'tani, Aatuylvi Aghvauf AV-Koupreitr, kovninngk brupiru hmsse vahsate aghaate!"
The pilot was getting aggravated, slipping back into Aatuylvan.
Maybe the controllers didn't understand english?
The Ai'lupan shook his head, grumbling as he searched out the windows for something he could land on safely, when he noticed two bright lights headed for him.
"Engkori?!"
Jets...
Not good at all. Maybe they were showing him where to land?
He shook his head again, his fur raising as he pushed several levers, causing the plane to shudder a bit as it slowed down, the wings and their four turboprop engines tilting upwards.
May as well use a helipad if they've got one, easier for his abilities anyway...
I should've stayed in the air guard...

The Two Harriers streaked across the sky, there lights flashing in the slowly darkening sky as they crossed from land to sea. There on-board radar beeps as they detected the unknown aircraft, then the radio cracks over. "Ghost flight this is Chieftain tower, target is slowing down rapidly, can you get a visual on them?", the lead pilot looked ahead seeing a large tilt-rotor aircraft at his 2 o'clock. "Chieftain tower, this is Ghost flight, we have visual, target is a tilt rotor, who every they are they sure as hell came a long wait for something", the pilot sounded back as him and his wingman roared past the target plane at close to 800 km/h, before rolling right and turning slowly, circling back and reducing speed to keep up with the now almost vertical tilt wing.
"Attention unidentified aircraft, this is the Izumo Republican Self Defence Force, you have entered Izumo Airspace, please state your intentions and drop your landing gear", Ghost lead shouted over the Radio, broadcasting to the unknown craft, while his wingman kept the gun sights of his own harrier on the craft at all times.

Enough was quite enough.
He could understand the english well enough, but apparently they couldn't understand anything he was saying.
He switched to german this time, hoping that someone over there knew more than one bloody language.
"Unidentified?! I just told you who I was you stupid revwhi! No one around here understand english? No Aatuylvi?! Not been that long has it? No one in your country have proper learning, is that it? I told you who I was three times now you stupid heathens, you want to hear it again? I am Commander R'tani of Aatuylvan Airlines, a civilian company, and you better stop harassing me with your missiles unless you want to explain to the Confederacy of Aatuylva why you shot an emissary of peace. And, if you haven't noticed, the bloody landing gears on this old tub of bolts don't retract into the belly, and are right in view. I've got a high priority letter to deliver to the ruling body of the Principality of Izumo, to the descendants of Prince Marre if possible. Now either show me to a bloody airport or I may as well cut off the engines myself and swim to shore to deliver the gods-be-damned parchment! And I bet none of you bothered to learn any Latin, either eh? Either help me find a spot to land or buzz off!"

Both Harrier pilots we're getting nervous as they continued trying to get a response from the unknown aircraft, anything that could prevent them having to shoot it down. Then they got there answer as an angry German voice screamed over the radio waves, much to the confused ears of the second harrier pilot but it was loud and clear to ghost leader.
"Chieftain tower, this is Ghost flight, we have contact with the pilot on the aircraft, his claiming to be Commander R'tani of Aatuylvan Airlines and says his on a diplomatic missions to Izumo on behalf of the Confederacy of Aatuylva, he wishes to land and speak with the Royal family and descendants of Prince Marre over". The harrier pilots waited for a reply as they kept chasing the Aatuylvan Airlines plane, Ghost lead decided to calm down the Aatuylvan pilot before he did something stupid.
"Commander R'tani this is captain Vanessa Rose of ghost flight, i have received your message and my superiors are currently analyzing the situations, by what you just told me most of our people are thankful of Aatuylva for the founding of our nation, I do apology for us coming out to intercept you, the Republic has been on high alert ever since the terrorist attack and assassination of Grand duke Maralyn five years ago, well have you meet with government official as soon as we get you on the ground".
Vanessa breathed into her mask after saying those words, then the radio cracked over. "Ghost flight this is Chieftain tower, you are to escort the Aatuylvan aircraft to Vampbrook airport and refuel there, officials from the foreign ministry will be arriving in an hour to meet with the pilot, you are to remain at Vampbrook airport and remain on standby over". Vanessa smiled in her breathing mask, knowing that at least he drama in the air was over as she opened up her mic. "Roger that Chieftain tower, escorting the Vip to vampbrook now over". She then opened her comm link to the Aatuylvan pilot, as well as turned her head to her wingman and signaling him to follow.
"Commander R'tani this is ghost leader, you have been cleared to land at Vampbrook international airport, government ministers from the foreign relations office will be there to greet you in an hour, please follow use over".
Then both Harriers roared pass the tilt rotor aircraft getting infront of it and banking left slowly as the began to lead the Aatuylvan plane north east to vampbrook.

"Roger that, Ghost Flight, lead the way."
About damn time.
He pressed a few more levers on the console, and followed the harriers.
It was going to be a very long day, he just knew it.

OOC: Sorry for quickpost, will be better after he lands :3

The harriers escorted the Aatuylvan Airlines plane over the Vampbrook coastline, the lights of the the International airport appeared in the distance as they drew closer.
"Aatuylvan Airlines aircraft this is Vampbrook tower you are cleared to land over, come on in", the radio called out from the control tower as the two harriers pulled back and stayed behind the tilt rotor, making sure that the Aatuylvan Airlines plane lands first.
Meanwhile to the south, a Government Eurocopter AS565 Panther took off from the top of the Izumo Foreign ministry, turning and heading due north towards Vampbrook.

It seemed like hours, but was probably much less time.
The harriers were making him jumpy, sometimes they would be close enough that he could make out the missiles on them, and the only consolation he had was that his plane might be big enough to save him if he got hit.
I just have to deliver the letter, then I'm gone.
He could see the pad they had lit up for him. No chance of a personal deliver, but, then again, a modern world has modern dangers, so it's only rational for them to keep him as far away from the capital as possible until they verify things.
Still, it's a pity not a one knows Aatuylvan anymore. I wonder what happened to the ones who used to live here.
He could see a government helicopter that had arrived before him, and he moved to put his craft in beside that one...well, a considerable distance away, but within sight-range of it at least.
It took him several minutes to shut down the engines and run through his checklist, making sure absolutely everything was powered down and locked up, so no one could mess about in his plane while he was gone, even if only for a minute.
He sighed and pulled out the scroll-case that was around his neck, it's ornate handle shining in the light, gold and bronze worked into it.
He took one last look around before opening the doors, going over everything in his head before stepping outside, locking the door behind him.

The Harriers followed the Aatuylvan Airlines aircraft in as it landed on one of the free helipads, the two military jets circled overhead before slowing down to a hover and landing a short distance away, the jet wash from the engines roared and blew up dust as they touched down.
At the same time, a convoy of vehicles approached the Aatuylvan aircraft, two Customs police cruisers, a fuel tanker and three government SUV's all parked in front of the tilt rotor, except for the fuel tanker which parked closer.
Exiting the vehicles we're an assortment of Customs officers and Government protection agents, armed with sub machine guns and pistols in view, as well as diplomatic staff from the office of foreign relations.
One of these staff members was the Foreign Affairs and Immigration Minister Cornell Jimenez, a red fox aged in his late 30's, wearing a well cleaned suit and his black hair cut short and business like. He could see Commander R'tani exiting the tilt rotor as he approached, ordering only diplomatic staff to follow while the guards stayed at a distance but kept there weapons at the ready.
"Commander R'tani, I'm Cornell Jimenez, Foreign Affairs and Immigration minister of the Izumo Republics, i would like to apologize for the show of force, our people have been abit tense about uninvited guests, i assume our fighter pilot guided you here". The Fox said in a clear german voice as he extend his paw to shake with the Commander. "You the first Aatuylvan national we have had on our shores since the revolutionary war, it's always a pleasure to meet a man from a nation that aided us in our revolution".
