Havensky wrote:You're Skyan arn't you?
Ariana Chispa turned to face a young attractive woman in her twenties. She was less dolled up then some of the other female patrons, but perhaps she didn't need all that much. Chispa could see the sleepless nights under her eyes even as her hair had a certain curly bounce to it.
Yes, replied Chispa acknowledging it was probably pointless to deny it, How did you know?
The woman put on a brave face and smiled. She was shy and spoke quietly - as if she was still finding her feet.
[i]I'm good with details. I had to be... in my old job.. I was a secretary for a... a high ranking official. You see, your skin is golden brown and you have a latin accent. There's no accent like that in Gholgoth. And I can tell by the way you walk that you're military. Women here don't march like you do.
The woman in the dress took a breath feeling a bit more confident.
You're wearing a jacket, even though it's summer out. You don't seem uncomfortable at all, so you must be used to wearing a jacket. You're wearing a computer watch, but not one of those fashionable ones. You're wearing something that won't break. You keep looking around - even now - as if to check everything. If I were to guess, you're a military pilot. And a veteran at that. Everyone's putting on a brave face, but you can tell everyone's afraid. Even the out-of-towners are having a cow with the Reich so close and you're acting like it's Tuesday.
Everyone at the Capitol thinks the Skyans are really kookie for sending Queen Heart here. You all flew pretty low, so I heard you arrive this morning. And a few hours later, here you are getting loads of caffeine. You must have flew all night.
Is that about right?
Chispa didn't know what to think. She didn't realize she was being that obvious. Then again, the lady had said she was good with details. She never imagined she'd be that good. She stuck out her hand.
Lieutenant Ariana Chispa, Queen's Guard. I suspect your talents are wasted as a secretary.
The young lady shook her hand and smiled..
Well gee... thanks. My name is Maria Chersakova... and we could use your help.
The driver of the truck followed the motorcycle. Sweat gripped his hands and the night vision goggles he had didn't really fit correctly. His hands were unsure behind the wheel and he didn't understand how the motorcycle's rider could drive so confidently through the moonless night.
Dr. Natalya Kadnikova walked out with The Rider to the city square. As The Rider walked into the city square, he spotted the bodies handing in the gallows. Natalya thought she could hear the rider's knuckles crack as he clinched his fist. As they walked past more of the damage, she could see the rider shake slightly.
Natalya had seen veterans before whose memories of combat haunted him. She assumed the stranger must be the same way. She would have advised against going out so soon, but he had insisted that he see what had happened for himself.
But it was the burned out husks of houses, with bodies still inside, that broke The Rider. He fell to his knees in front of an ashen house and began to scream with rage.
Natalya quickly rushed to his side trying to comfort him, but he was inconsolable.
Slowly, the rider regained his composure and uttered a solemn promise.
They...will...all...BURN...[/box]
The truck and the motorcycle slowed down as the dirt road they were on began to curve wildly. The isolated road was far off the beaten path from VI-83, but close to where they needed to be.'if you wanna save your soul from hell a-ridin on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Tryin to catch the devil's herd across these endless skiesWe're forming a resistance. Sergei Golodvayev has a cousin in the capitol that's pulling together support. We are too weak to fight the Reich directly - but we must try to get the women and children out. If they stay, they'll be stolen away and we'll lose them forever. We're building a network of people to sneak them out of the peninsula. But they need an escort. Somebody who can fight off trouble. We need you.
The truck driver struggled to keep up with the bike. He started muttering a prayer as he swerved around the curve.
Queen Jessica Heart was sitting comfortably in the conference room when Liydia Repida walked into the room. She could tell that she was visibly shaken. Jessica rose and the two Skyan Legionaries went to attention.
I apologize, but the Praetor is very ill and will be unable to meet today. I can arrange a meeting with the Procounsel and the Vice Praetor later today.
Jessica walked over to Liydia and placed a hand on her shoulder.
That's ok, I understand. I'm sure the Procounsel must be under an immense amount of stress. I would be happy to meet with the Vice Praetor or the Procounsel whenever they're ready. I understand that it's a difficult time for everyone. I'm sure your team has been working extra hours given the crisis. If it helps, some of my embassy staff would be available to help with some of your workload. I have more than enough staff to take care of things on my end.

The Kraven Corporation wrote:The four stopped for a moment, communicating with the Relay, then without saying a word they returned to their staff cars and silently slipped away...
Horst approached the front door and let himself in, two Capitol Police Troopers followed him up to the house, then remained outside ensuring they could not be disturbed... Sergi was sat at his dinner table oblivious to how close he was to being deported to Norska for further questioning, even though a Kravenite could be as cold as a Capitol Police Trooper they were only marginally better to deal with, they could at least hold a conversation, Sergi went to rise as the Officer entered the room....
"Remain seated Sergi, this won't take long, I am Untersturmfuhrer Horst, I just require you to answer a few questions and I can guarantee the Sicherheitsdienst will not bother you any further during our Occupation, I am going to sit down, is this acceptable to you Sergi?" Horst gestured to the chair, then once he was given the inevitable go ahead he took his seat, nobody was foolish enough to deny a request from an Officer of The Reich...
"I will get straight to the point, Sergi, your sister, she is a prominent figure within the Vetalian Government, but yet she has not returned home for some time, this is concerning to The Reich... may I smoke?"[/i] Horst asked removing a small metal tin from the pocket of his jacket.. "Do not look so surprised Sergi, I can only smoke when I am not being watched, it is not very often, but since being deployed here, I've found it easier to partake... would you care for one? I have a counterpart in Parthia who can occasionally get me a packet or two..."
"I am also, one of the few Kravenite Officers still to hold a position of authority, the others were purged by The Capitol Police when a Skyan Agent deactivated the Relay, if she had'nt reactivated it, I wouldn't be talking to you now and this wouldn't have been an Occupation, it would have been an Extermination..." He paused taking a long drag of his cigarette
"So, Sergi are you going to be helping me today with my Investigation, I could call back the Four Capitol Police Officers who were about to kick your door down, but I'm sure you would rather deal with me than Four Capitol Police... so.... what will it be?"

I speak now, directly to the People of the Vetailan Peninsula...
The Skyan People hear your cries and we respond by offering our full and unwavering support of your People. The Skybound Republic of Havensky will not sit in silence while your people are dragged out in the streets. The Skyan People will not allow this injustice to continue. The Skyan People understand that you were betrayed. We understand that you only want to protect your homes, your families, your hopes and your dreams. These next few days will not be easy - but know this... you are not alone.
After due consideration with King Drake of Havensky, the Skyan Senate, and the Gothic Skyan Senate... with the full support of Prime Minister Scarletwing and High Executor Vincent Profecta... and on the Behalf and Behest of the Skyan People... the Skybound Republic of Havensky issues the following.
First... we demand the immediate departure of all Reich forces from the Vetalian peninsula.
Second... we demand the immediate return of all those taken by the Reich back to their families.
And finally, as this conflict threatens the regional security of Gholgoth... on the Behalf and Behest of the Skyan People... I, Queen Jessica Heart of the House of Ironwing - Gothic Lord... due hereby Summon the Gothic Lords... and present the matter of this incursion to Their Judgement...That they may look upon this and see that this incursion by the Kraven Reich is not just... and order their immediate departure... lest War in Gholgoth rise again.
Jessica waited for her words to be translated and sink in.
May God Bless the People of Havensky, the Region of Texas, the Region of Gholgoth... and the People of Vetalia!

We now take you to Vetalia where new video of the brutal occupation of the Vetalian Peninsula has just been released by the Skyan Government. We strongly caution viewers that these images are graphic and may be disturbing.
The screen flashed to a highway where civilians could be seen fleeing. The camera on the drone zoomed in to see people screaming and running from Kraven paratroopers. The camera turned to show Capitol Police carrying roadblocks and setting up barriers on the road. As the camera panned, it showed another group of Capitol Police bringing their rifles up and firing.
The camera switched to footage of a different drone. This one was flying over territory already visited by the Reich as evidenced by husks of burning vehicles and makeshift gallows.
The television screen broke from the footage and the anchor appeared once more.
We now move to our reporter Frankie Goldfeather who is onboard the Skyan Medical Airship HRA Redemption where several refugees from the peninsula are receiving treatment.
The screen turned to a wide angle shot of the Skyan Humanitarian Fleet. A gleaming white airship with an encircled red heart blazoned on the hull. The airship was surrounded by dozens of smaller escort and supply ships. As the camera zoomed in on the Redemption a squadron of white helijets passed by. In the distance, several Accipiter class fighters flew in escort formation.
The screen switched to a live feed from inside the Redemption. The camera panned out to show the viewers one of the medical bays. All the beds were occupied. A woman in a white hijab and Skyan doctor’s uniform was checking on a young boy with a broken arm and a head injury. In the boy’s good arm he was clutching a stuffed winged lion. In the next bed, another nurse with fiery red hair was sitting next to a Vetalian woman. The Vetalian woman was speaking to the nurse.
We had no warning… I was just out shopping… they came out in trucks and guns and told us to march into one of the trucks. My husband tried to protest.. and they...they… beat him. Then somebody starting shooting. Somebody from the Resistance grabbed me in the chaos.. took me to safety.. They smuggled me and my son in a fruit box.
Frankie’s voice came over the camera screen.
We’re listening to the words of one of the escapees from the peninsula. The people in this wing, all women and children, were some of the first ones that the Vetalian resistance smuggled out of the country. We’ve been asked to hold off interviewing anyone until they’ve had a little more time to recover.
The camera panned to show more victims recovering. Doctors moved to and fro and personnel from the Transversal Red Cross could be seen speaking to people. They were shown to be moving freely about without any escort.
Frankie’s voice spoke again, And in looking at these images, the image of a red haired nurse taking care of a victim of the Reich’s treachery has to strike out in the minds of viewers familiar with the story of Queen Jessica Heart. The Queen, who had been a nurse aboard an medical airship when she had been captured by the Reich so long ago, must have looked very much like this. The fact that years later, after all that’s happened, it’s the same story must be frustrating. You have to wonder how long the region - if not the world - will tolerate such behavior. The question now is how the Gothic Lords now making their way towards ULE city in the Gothic Empire address the crisis?
And on the other television screens, similar newscasts were being played out. Members of the Skyan government appeared on every news show that had asked for an interview. Many of the staff members did their interviews without the aid of a translator. They all wore a small red/blue ribbon to show support for the Vetalian people.

REFERENCE ID 62FORDWF12000 CLASSIFICATION SECRET DATE 09-29-14 ORIGIN GOVERNOR SHEN ALMARU
SEP 29
FROM SHEN ALMARU GOVERNOR, MAZARAAN
TO EMPEROR HARALD II OF THE GLORIOUS EMPIRE OF THE SCANDINVANS
SUBJECT: SECURITY ASSISTANCE
Greetings,The current regional turmoil is a concern to all brother nations of Gholgoth. As you are no doubt aware, the domestic political situation in the Pantokratic Dominate of Emperor Pudu remains unstable.
In the interest of continued regional security and close cooperation with regional allies in a time of strife I, the rightly appointed and responsible governor of Shen Almaru, do formally invite the Scandinvan Empire our firm and loyal ally to establish here a protectorate in the interest of preserving our status quo and defending the rights and privileges of their allies in a time of unique domestic unrest.
This request is made under no pretext of coercion or out of anything but the purest respect for the Empire and the prudence to establish strong institutions in a time of change.
The Pantokratocracy sincerely hopes these tribulations will come to a swift close,
Good day,
Titus Lartius
