Mass public executions in Trotskytopia [MT, Open]

[Trotskytopia (Ancient)]

Leo growled, his fists pressed against the table with a map sprawled across it, various possible locations of the silo circled in red all across it.
"They've lost everything...." he muttered slightly before speaking up, "If they get a hold of it, I've no doubt they'll use it to wipe out the leadership. They'll be safe up in the mountains, then they can march on down and just declare victory with no one to stand up to them."

The dicussion continued on, eventually coming to the agreement that they'd hunt down a rogue agent and in exchange, the Viranians would help find and decomission the weapon. Inside, Leo boiled. This would mean a foreign military presence he couldn't garuntee he'd be able to evict if things went wrong. He had to have some sort of failsafe. He turned rang up his IA minister, speaking a quick, simple order.
"Enact emergency plan. If I send the codeword 'Rise', you know exactly what to do..." He sighed, hoping it wouldn't come to that, but he had no choice.

Day by day, fewer people appeared in the streets of Trotskytopia, many only coming out for a few hours before disappearing completely again. When questioned by some foreigners, some merely refused to answer with a scared look while others reacted by violentally pushing them off. The atmosphere was changing.

Leo approached Brock with a short salute, unusual for Leo's usual attitude.
"Brock, we're preparing a team to go out and hunt down this Zuyev, I wish to give you the option of going along. We'll be looking to form various special operations groups after this is all over with, and you could consider it your trial-by-fire, if you accept of course."

[OOC: Just letting you know, my spec forces will aid yours in disarming the nuke, then we'll move on to Zuyev. Who, of course, is also looking for the nuke. ]

Airfield — Trotskytopia
Several Days Later

The SEALs had just landed in Trotskytopia, their C-130J-30 Super Hercules cargo transports and CV-22 Ospreys were carrying everything they'd need for their mission and more. As soon as they exited the aircraft they began to unload their equipment—numerous weapons, survival gear, uniforms, and more. The C-130J-30 airlifters turned back and took off from the runway, and would return in the coming weeks to provide a long-term supply chain to the special forces. With them came a number of Air Force Combat Controllers to help in calling in airstrikes, as well as some Pararescuemen in case of emergency.

Several other aircraft were transported to the nation to support them. The URMC had sent in an AV-24 Raptor attack tiltrotor from one of their special operations forces. This was supplemented by an Air Force AC-130U Spooky gunship. For tactical transport they had with them two UH-60 Black Hawks and a CH-47 Chinook, both in special operations configuration. In addition, the nearby carrier strike group was put on high alert to deploy air support at a moment's notice.

They came well-armed as well. Most of the SEALs were sporting Mk 17 SCAR-H assault rifles, Mk 20 Sniper Support Rifles, and a number of other weapons they alone used. Amongst their equipment came their Crye Precision AVS plate carriers and extremity armor, along with Ops-Core FAST ballistic helmets. For the rails of these helmets came high-definition day/night cameras, flashlights, microphones, goggles, and more.

Most of the SEALs that stepped in were a little bit concerned about their uniform as they entered the country. Rather than wearing formal dress uniforms—as was custom when entering another country, particularly an ally—they were wearing full-blown combat uniforms in Digital Multi-terrain Camouflage in a transitional pattern. If they put on their helmets and body armor, they would look fully prepared for war.

As they unloaded their gear the group of SEALs that had been in the nation from before—led by the Lieutenant Veloz—met them. These SEALs were then supplied their gear as they prepared for the upcoming missions—which were high risk.

While their friends from SEAL Team 3 were being deployed alongside other ICE special forces to perform what one might call "thrilling" slavery interdiction operations to board and seize slave ships transporting chattel slaves across the world, these SEALs, part of SEAL Team 2, would have a much more difficult, much more risky, yet much less hyped mission—find and disable the nuke before it gets into the wrong hands. It was for this mission that they brought a number of M20 CBRN Reconnaissance Vehicles and protective CBRN gear in case things went awry. But they hoped, in fact prayed, that this wouldn't happen.

Their other mission in the region was a simple one that they'd been doing ever since each of them joined the Teams after passing BUD/S. It was an everyday headhunter mission—capture an HVT dead or alive. The HVT, Lucas Zuyev (codenamed Vulture), was labeled as a potential nuclear terrorist. Nuclear terrorist. Although all of this seemed miniscule compared to the ongoing Gholgoth crisis, they knew it was just as important and millions of lives were at stake. An entire nation brought to its knees begging for mercy, hoping that a few elite foreign troops could save them from the upcoming Armageddon.

They knew it wouldn't be easy. The only easy day was yesterday.

"The United Republic issued a statement earlier today that indicated that various special forces are being deployed to Trotskytopia to aid in fighting the rebels. This comes just days after United Republic diplomats were ambushed by Yandian rebels, killing Scott Goins, perhaps the nation's most important upcoming diplomat. President Castilla is set to make a speech for his funeral procession later this week..."
