July 3^rd, 2010
United Totalitarian State of Aldarminia
Aldaler(Capitol), Central District
Outside National Government Legislature Building

Four protests had taken place in the past week. The weakening economy and the draft of five thousand people from the South, Northeast, and North Districts had led to a recent dissenting movement. The movement called for reform, a new government, more political freedoms, and the strengthening of the private sector. Twenty-five protests in just a thirty days' time. More and more, stress was building up in the halls of both the National and Central Governments. Totalitarian Redakt was frustrated and exhausted. He believed his country was falling apart. He blamed it on the Grecht-Britannian War and the constant protests. Redakt had had enough. His injuries from his kidnapping had healed, but his mental state had not. Redakt wanted blood and still felt the thirst for vengeance on dissenters. Tensions were building in Aldarminia. At any moment, any little gesture or any little word, the entire system could snap. It could revert back to the days when the Aladamian Monarchs and Nobles massacred hundreds who disagreed with their ideals.

That snap would happen. It would be caused by another protest. This protest would not be momentous itself, but what would happen to the protesters themselves would be.

A group of no more than sixty protesters marched on the National Government Legislature Building. It was here, at this building, where all the laws of Aldarminia were either drafted, written, and sent to the Capitol Building or they were enacted. This building was where the Aldarminian Government and its Totalitarian, Totalitarian Kader Redakt, had a direct control of the Aldarminian people. Today, Totalitarian Kader Redakt was visiting the NaitlaGoevLeigsalBuliign, as it is known in the Aldarminian language. He was there to pass a new law. National Government Resolution 4113, or the Mandatory Employment Bill, had to have Redakt's signature on it before it could be enacted. That's why Redakt was there. The protesters were protesting the bill. They also called for the repeal of all forced labor bills.

Only a few of the protesters carried signs. They knew the Aldaler Military Police would be the ones stopping their protest, and the MPs often would justify shooting at protesters due to them carrying possible weapons. The protesters who didn't have signs either had megaphones or simply called out their cries of dissent. The protesters stopped inside of the NaitlaGoevLeigsalBuliign's courtyard.They shouted things such as "No more internment camps!" "No more citizen slaves!" "We won't work without pay!"

Totalitarian Kader Redakt watched them in disgust from the large second floor balcony of the building. He told his assistant to call the MPs. The assistant nodded and did what he had been commanded. As soon as the Aldaler Military Police Department had been notified, they sent six humvees of five Military Police Troopers each to the NaitlaGoevLeigsalBuliign. There were thirty troopers in total. Each had been armed with an MP5, a Micro Uzi, and a riot shiled. Six men had been given grenade launchers so they could launch tear gas into the crowd.

The troopers arrived. They wore the dark grey riot uniform. This uniform was the sign of the government's iron fisted grasp on the Aldarminian people. The sight of the Military Police troopers struck fear into the hearts of the Aldarminian people. These men were given no restrictions on how they enforced Aldarminian law. The six humvees had parked a half a block away from the NaitlaGoevLeigsalBuliign. One man was left to guard each humvee while the other twenty-four troopers were sent to handle the actual protest.

The troopers surrounded the courtyard and the crowd of protesters. The men put on gas masks. Some readied riot shields and Micro Uzis. Others prepared their MP5s and readied themselves to charge into the crowd. The six men with grenade lauchers loaded them with 40mm tear gas canister. These six men aimed their lauchers directly at the legs of some of the protesters. They fired.

Six protesters immediately fell to the ground due to be directly hit by the oncoming canisters. The tear gas suddenly emitted from the canisters. The protesters began coughing and dropping onto the courtyard's pavement. The troopers charged into the crowd. They beat down any protesters who were not already either on their backs or bellies. The protesters did not resist. Defiance was futile against the harsh MPs. One male protester, in confusion, did accidentally swing his sign at one of the MPs. The trooper retaliated by kicking the man in his stomach and punching him in the nose. The protester did not fall right away, so the trooper discharged five rounds from his MP5 into the man's chest. The man crumpled to the ground dead. The remaining protesters were hancuffed and their feet were chained. Eight black armored vans arrived on the scene along with an ambulance. The protesters were placed in the vans while the dead man was sent to the Aldaler City Morgue in the ambulance. The other protesters were sent to the Aldaler Government Political Dissenters Prison.

Most thought they would be given the usual sentance. A month in a forced labor camp. But they were wrong.

July 4^th, 2010
UInited Totalitarian State of Aldarminia
Aldaler(Capitol), Central District
Aldaler City Park

Eight black vans and one black jeep left the Aldaler Government Political Dissenters Prison. They drove to the outskirts of Aldaler to the Aldaler City Park. They parked in a remote field. The field was surrounded by tall evergreen trees and brush. A small, rough track was the only way into the field for vehicles. The vans parked on the tree line while the jeep parked in the middle of the field. The tall grass was waist-high.

Out of the jeep, came four men. The men were wearing black suits with dark purple ties. They also wore black ski masks. One man was wearing surgical gloves. The drivers of each vans got out and went to the vans' back doors. The men who had been sitting next to the drivers shifted themselves into the seats behind the steering wheel. The men from the vans were wearing forest camoflage uniforms along with forest green ski masks. They each had tasers, nightsticks, and .455 Revenant pistols. The original drivers also carried large briefcases which they carried with them outside the van.

The drivers opened the back doors of the vans and shouted into them orders, "Come on get out. You might be blindfolded but you know where the damn door is."

Out from the back of the vans came fifty-nine people in turquoise jump suits. They were blindfolded, gagged, handcuffed, and chained by their legs. These were the protesters from yesterday. There were thirty-three men and twenty-six woman. They were shuffled into a line ten yards away from the jeep and facing towards the jeep. The drivers laid the briefcases in the grass near the four men in suits. The briefcases were opened, revealing various SMGs, pistols, knives, axes, and ropes.

The man with sugical gloves walked between the briefcases. He picked up two throwing knives and walked towards the protesters. He aimed the knives and threw. One lodge itself into the throat of a man and the other struck into a woman's head. Both of the protesters fell to the ground dead. The man with the surgical gloves went back to the briefcases. He picked up four knives and two ropes. He stabbed two men with two of the knives which happened to be butcher knives. He used the other knives to slit the throats of two woman. He then beat a man and woman to death by pummeling them with his fists and slamming their heads onto the ground. He strangled a man and woman with the ropes. The man then killed two more people by twisting their heads and breaking their necks. The man with surgical gloves went back to the briefcases and picked up an MP5. He gunned down the remain protesters by shooting them in their heads and chests.

To make sure they were all dead, the other three men in jump suits went through the bodies and stepping on their throats and breaking their windpipes. The man with surgical gloves took off his ski mask. His face wasrevealed and he turned out to be Aldarminia's Totalitarian. Kader Redakt. redakt threw his ski mask into the back of the jeep and sat down in the passenger seat. The three men with suits also got inside. One of them started the jeep and drove it out of the field and out of the park. The original van drivers closed and picked up the briefcases. They threw them into the back of the vans. They got into the passenger seats. The vans drove off.

---

Unbeknownst to the entire group, there was a witness. It was a man who had been on a camping trip. He had brought his video camera. He had his in the brush when he heard the vehicles nearing he field. The man caught the entire execution and Totalitarian Kader Redakt's face on video. He gave the video to the Aldarminian National News Network, who broadcasted the video all over the nation. People all over Aldarminia were disgusted and horrified. They called for the arrest and execution of Totalitarian kader Redakt and all Central Government officials. Various riots and protests took place all over the nation.

An hour after the video was broadcasted, it had been leaked to a number of foreign entities, websites, and television stations. The Aldarminian government stayed silent. They went to COG, or Continuity of Government, procedures. They evacuated Central Government officials to a secret underground bunker.

The Government did retaliate though. Redakt and Secretary of Militay and Defense Affairs Russel Blair ordered that all violent protesters were to be shot on spot by Military Police and Military Forces. The ACGIA was used to bomb all Aldarminian National News Network Broadcasting Stations. There was no evidence found at the bomb sites that could incriminate the government, military, or ACGIA. Also, the man who had taken the video was found in a dark alleyway in Delema, which was far away in the Northeast District. The man's body was bruised, strangled, smothered, stabbed, shot, and bloodied. Almost every bone had been broken. His body lay in a revolting puddle of vomit and blood. Once again, no evidence was found.


Across the nation of Aldarminia, MPs and soldiers killed hundreds of protesters. They arrested thousands. They raided houses of the protesters' families. The tensions between the Aldarminian Government and the Aldarminian people had finally snapped.

It was a mutually accepted prediction throughout the nation: Nothing will be the same.

Massive, nation-wide protests after bloodbath in Aldarminia

Groups from all ends of the political spectrum, from the Revolutionary Communist Worker's Party and the Anarcho-Syndicalists to the Jimani Freedom Party, have organized protests and demonstrations across the nation, in response to recent actions committed by the United Totalitarian State of Aldarminia.

What happened to cause such unprecedented agreement among Jimani politicos? Reports are sketchy, but it is clear that the Aldarminia, and the dictator Kader Redakt, in particular, has slaughtered about sixty of his own citizens, though some claim as many as three-hundred were killed.

Their crime? Protesting a law that was to be signed into law that day, one that involved forced labor.

The Jimani government, President Panas in particular, has promised action in response for this atrocity, although he was unwilling to be more specific. A group of radical senators, led by Sen. Timothy Wheatly (RCW), are calling for an invasion of the country. Moderates, meanwhile, are advocating more peaceful means of achieving a change in Aldarminia.

We will bring you more as this story develops.

[Neo Prutenia]

Königsberg, Neo Prutenia
One hour after the Aldarminian broadcast,
Cabinet of the Großkommandant

In the Office the Großkommandant's Cabinet as well as the Leader of the Nation himself have gathered yet again on a unsheduled situational meeting. While several of the Cabinet Members have seen the broadcast, some of them, including the Großkommandant haven't. As the Großkommandant stepped in, one of the Cabinet Members ordered the broadcast to be repeated for the entire Cabinet. Those who had seen it prior, were at shock and disgust again, while those seeing it the first time were horrified. The Großkommandant alone restrained himself, rembering his Prut Stoicism. Although the Broadcast wasn't long, several other images, texts and videos from Aldarminia, transmitted by their Media outlets before they ceased to operate, as well as concerned citizens of the country who managed to put some info on the internet, were reviewed. This went on for about 30 minutes, before the Großkommandant ordered them to stop.

A Cabinet Member, statrled from the torture, said to no one in particular: - " What is going on over there? " , and was promptly answered in a deadpan voice by the Großkommandant - " Human Rights violations. Isn't it obvious. " - " Yes, Herr Großkommandant, I know, but why..." - " Power. Greed. Insanity. Do you really need a reason or cause for something like that. Nothing can justify it. " - " Are we going to intervene? " - " No. " - the sudden, if not truely unexpected answer of the Großkommandant wasn't recieved weel by the other Cabinet members. He just continued: - " The sovereignity of Aldarminia must be respected. I won't allow us to become hypocrites and use a double standard, even in such a humanitarian crisis. We have neither been contacted by the legitimate government, nor a opposition force. It would be a severe breach of our Neutrality policies, international law and on top of it, it would be unconstitutional. " -

In their mind, all Cabinet Members understood the Großkommandant's words all to well. But in their hearts, they wanted to act. Having their hands being bound did not suit them well. Even the Großkommandant, who gave of the impression of coolness and levelheadedness, was trying to figure out a way to mend the situation. - " Was the entire broadcast transmitted over the country? " - " Yes, Herr Großkommandant, the entire nation of Neo Prutenia is aware of what has transpired overseas. " - " Most people are aware that Neo Prutenia has no stake in what is happening in Aldarminia, and will know that we'll be hardly affected as a nation, nor can we profit for it in any way. " - " True, but there will always be those who'll protest this turn of events and demand a Prut intervention. "

- " Yes, there will. And I want all such individuals to be monitored and recruited for a very special operation I have in mind. " - " Herr Großkommandant, are you going to intervene after all? " - " Not directly, no. We cannot compromise our own nation. I will set in motion a few actions which will enable us to unofficially help out the Aldarminian population fight for their freedom. Now, the Meeting is over, you have your order. Continue with your duties, monitor any Prut who objects to the current situation in Aldarminia and wants to see action and organize and gather them in the Hamburg HQ. Cabinet dismissed! " - " Yes, Herr Großkommandant! " -

Königsberg, Neo Prutenia
Two hour after the Aldarminian broadcast,
Harbour of Königsberg

The Großkommandant was outside of his office and outside of the gloomy bunker which served as the HQ of the Prut Government. He previously contacted the Abwehr* and several friends in the administration to organise an unofficial meeting. A Abwehr Operative and two Agents were there, as well as a Marine** Captain. The Großkommandant greeted them all first, and asked the Captain to host the meeting inside of his vessel, the Submarine "Mireille", to which he promptly agreed. After everyone was on board, they gathered in the Captain private room, to be separated from the rest of the crew.

He had them being served some tea and the five of them enjoyed the herbal drink in silence. The Großkommandant took a sip and carefully placed his cup back, while waiting for the others to do likewise. - " Gentlemen, I have a mission of the utmost importance for you. As you may, or may not be aware, several disturbing events have occured in the nation of Aldarminia. Events which might offend and anger the Prut public. " - all the men noded to confirm that they knew what he ment. Then he continued - " I have already given orders to prevent any protests or actions within Neo Prutenia to destabilize the country or agitate the population. However, that won't be enough. Some action needs to be done to help the aldarminians out. As I doubt that the Aldarminian Government will allow a humanitarian mission, I wish to send a observer and agent to instigate and help out the population to start a Rebellion. " -

They continued with the tea, calm and patinet, waiting for the Großkommandant to finish another sip and continue to elaborate on his plan. - " Kapitän Heiden, you will mount a stealth mission with the "Mireille" to Aldarminia proper, where you will drop Operative MA 88 of the Abwehr, here present to try and find a suitable group to start the Rebellion. " - he handed several papers and documents - " In the unlikely event of you being detected by Aldarminian authorities, these document should provide a necessary alibi, as they officially designate your mission as a field test of the "Mireille" as part of a larger naval excersise, and the charts provided have a slight miscalculation, justifying you ending up in Aldarminian territorial waters, instead of international one. The other papers have more detailed instructions for both you and your crew, as well as Operative MA 88. Agetn Schmidt and Agent Jochanson will be your contacts and liasons for this mission. Agent Schmidt will stay on the "Mireille", while Agent Jochanson will stay in Neo Prutenia proper. Gentlemen, are there any questions? "

The Captain was the only one to break the silence of the group: - " Yes, one. When is the mission to start? " - the Großkommandant just answered with a devilish smile, - " As soon as I'm off of the "Mireille", my good Kapitän. The submarine has already been fully supplied, refueled and prepared, your crew was made aware of the excersie and the Abwehr was informed about this half an hour ago. " - " Then, Herr Großkommandant, if you don't mind, I will have to escort you and Agent Jochanson out of my vessel, I have a mission to complete as soon as possible. " All the men gathered there smiled and shaked hands - "But of course, Herr Kapitän. Don't let us keep you from doing it. " - After those words they parted and the "Mireille" set forth towards Aldarminia. - " Godspeed and good luck, mu friends. " said the Großkommandant to the departing submarine, while walking back into his office.

United Totalitarian State of Aldarminia
Exact Location: Classified
Underground COG Bunker
Sub-Level 5

The six officials that made up the Central Government of Aldarminia sat around a large oval table. They made up the Aldarminian oligarchy. At their head was the Totalitarian, Totalitarian Kader Redakt. Sitting opposite, on the other side, was Secretary of Intelligence "KS". His identity was only known to the Totalitarian. Sitting right next to Redakt were Secretary of Diplomatic and Foreign Affairs Arianna Smith and Secretary of Military and Defense Affairs Russel Blair. Sitting next to KS were Secretary of Economic and Trading Affairs Sarduck Rendoac and Secretary of Colonial and Expansion Affairs Savich Melidik. They were in a dark room. It was lit by four dangling lights hanging from the ceiling. The room was basically a hollowed out cinderblock with six doors and an elevator. The elevator led to the larger and upper levels of the COG Bunker. Everyone in the room was tense and silent.

Totalitarian Kader Redakt was the first to break the silence. "My comrades, today, we are looking at the beginning of a new era in Aldarminia. These dissenters will be crushed by our military's might. Once this happens, we'll force all, and I mean all, Aldarminians into labor for the government. What Oceania had in mind in the book 1984 was a great idea. An Oceania state is what I intend to create. First, we have to purge all the violent and rebellious dissenters. Then we transform the National Government into our massive propaganda machine. They'll rewrite the history of Aldarminia and will help us brainwash the Aldarminian people. We will become the "Big Brother" in a since. We'll have complete control of Aldarminia. Anyone who does not work in the government has three choices: To finally get a job within the government, join the military, or become a proletariet. We'll soon have the most productive and effective nation in the world. And it'll all be because of us. We'll be heroes. I just need a little assurance that I have your full consent."

The various secretaries looked at each other and back at Redakt. They nodded. Their faces were filled with confidence, loyalty, and determination. This was the moment they had been train for since the 1996 revolution. Redakt spoke directly to KS, "As a new policy, we must all know each other's names. So KS, what is your real name?"

KS showed no emotion in his swift response, "Kohvek Emazdrelh Stivetrigod Junior."

Redakt smiled and nodded. "Good then. Blair what's the situation with the dissidents?"

Blair wiped a bit of sweat from his forehead before answering, "Sorry, sir, but not much news really. No good news anyway. No progress has been made, and the dissidents are getting more violent. I've ordered the 1^st Marine, 1^st Mechanized Infantry, 1^st Armored, and 5^th Armored Divisions to close off all of Aldaler. That's all."

Redakt looked down in frustration. "Damn. Fine. Just do whatever it takes. Stivetrigod, what does intel say?"

"Jimanistan and Neo-Prutenia are two confirmed nations who have seen the video on large scale. Jimanistan has just had a new broadcast stating the government is split. As for Prutenia, intel says they've kept quiet for the most part."

"I guess that's it then. Everyone, a file has just been delivered to laptops in your offices. read the entire file. It explains the entire plan. Well then, dismissed."

Everyone got up and headed for the elevator. It would bring them to Sub-level Three, where their respective offices were.

A new era was about to begin. Even if it wasn't the one Redakt wanted.

United Totalitarian State of Aldarminia
Delema, Northeast District
Intersection of Profrachiek Avenue and Slaviicmhar Street

The 32^nd Infantry Division had been tasked with neutralizing all remaining anti-government protesters. Delema was in flame and ruins. The 45^th Armored Division and the 3^rd Armored Core had blasted the crowds of protesters to bits. The fired into houses and buildings suspected of harboring "traitors". Private Treminko Ivajhadic was apart of Squad two of Vepkhariil(Wolverine) Platoon or Platoon Nine.

Squad Two was ordered to secure and patrol this intersection. They were getting ready to breach a mostly destroyed apartment building. The breach charge was placed. Treminko was behind the first-man-in. The charge exploded. The first-man-in went through the hole the charge had created. Treminko followed.there was a gunshot. A bullet lodged itself into the first man's head. Treminko immediately looked to his left. He aimed at what appeared to be a very short man with a pistol. treminko fired on sight. The seven shots from Treminko's TAR-21 went into the man's stomach. Treminko ran over to the man. He kicked the man in his rib cage. Treminko fired a shot into the man's head, ending his misery.

Suddenly, sadness, shame, and guilt flowed through Treminko's body. For upon closer inspection, the man actually turned out to be a boy of no older than fifteen.Treminko suddenly turned to his squad who had entered behind him. The squad's medic immediately went to work on the first man's body. The first man had been Treminko's friend, Brejhar Danikohr. Treminko approached his sergeant, Sergeant Jakoad Cheykohi. "Sergeant, he was just a kid. And I shot him."

Treminko had looked down in shame. Sergeant Cheykohi should his TAR-21 and put a comforting hand on Tremnko's shoulder. "It's okay, Comrade. it was necessary sacrifice in our cause."

"What really is our cause, Sergeant?"

Cheykohi gave Treminko a suspicious glance, "You're not harboring anti-government dissent in your mind, are you, Comrade?"

Treminko jerked back in surprise and swiftly retorted, "Of course not, Comrade Sergeant Cheykohi, sir. I'm just a little shocked and unnerved by what just happened."

Cheykohi nodded and smiled, "I understand Comrade Ivajhadic. I undertsand. War does this to us. Anyways, Comrade, let us continue to further our cause. Aldarminia!"

Treminko and the rest of Squad Two cheered exuberantly in response, "Aldarminia!"

Squad Two was given anoth objective to carry out. It moved out to continue to its mission and further their unknown cause. In the back of his mind, though, Treminko thought something wasn't right.Maybe what they were doing was actually wrong. He would never live to know.

[Neo Prutenia]

Prut Stealth Submarine "Mireille"
On here way to reach Aldarminia

The Crew was busy navigating the vessel on top speed to unknowingly reach Aldarminian territorial waters. The Navigator and Radar Watchman were the only ones made aware that there was a secondary objective for the "Mireille" to fullfil, although they didn't know what it was. The two new man who "joined" the crew were told to be observes and investigators from the HQ in the Capital. This made the Crew somewhat anxious, but they worked harder and more efficently, as they believed that Operative MA 88, called Manfred officially, and Agent Schmidt to be real Investigators, so they hoped to recieve a commend by the officials. The Radar Watchman had the busiest job, as he had to warn the crew about any close naval vessels and sonar networks and buoys. The "Mireille" was equipped and designed to handle most such situations.

In the Captains private room, the Agents and Heiden were again together, having just finished the review given to them by the Großkommandant. Heiden was again the first to speak: - " So, what is the plan? " - MA 88 was silent, while Schmidt answered in a dismissive manner - " We follow the instructions. You reach the shore, and MA 88 gets out. " - " How delighfully funny Herr Schmidt. I ment after that. " - " MA 88 will do anything he sees fit to finish the given tasks and objectives of the mission. " - " That's all? " - " That's all. That is also more then you need to know necessarily. " - " Herr Schmidt, this is obviously a infiltration mission. I'm putting the entire crew of the "Mireille" in danger, and I'm forced to lie to them about the mission, which is..." - " ...necessary. Kapitän Heiden, you know that a direct intervention is impossible, or rather illegal. Shoul Neo Prutenia be attacked, then we would have full right and a casus belli. The current situation is different. The Abwehr will handle this now. And to be honest, I have the vague impression that this will just be a token mission. It isn't as if the Großkommandant will order a fullscale invasion of Aldarminia to tople the government. " - " Sadly true. So, the only remaining question is, when do we come back for MA 88? " - " He'll signal us. " -

MA 88 just noded with his head, sitting there calmly with his arms crossed. There was this feeling about him, that strange slince in the "Eye of the Storm". He knew that he would be central in starting the requested Rebellion. He also knew that he could easily die in Aldarminia. But his attitude was that of a professional - impartial, calm and self-controlled. And more then anything else, his attitude showed a man who clearly was above anything else ready.

Neo Prutenia, several major cities
Around the same time

Several demonstrations and protests were started by various groups in the country, as well as individual gatherings of concerned citizens. Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, Köln - the populace of those cities was at unrest. Most people were satisfied with marching towards government buildings and demanding a Prut intervention, while several notable individuals voiced their opinion quite vocally in various TV and Radio shows. The Internet was full of people "discussing" what transpired in Aldarminia, from conspiracy theorists to normal folks, trying to find a solution.

The Großkommandant, as well as various Cabinet Members held public statements were they confirmed that the events in Aldarminia are undignified and vile, but that the sovereignity of the Aldarminian State and the Legitimacy of the Aldarminian Government are inviolable. There won't be no direct intervention by Prut forces under the current circumstances. A majority of the Protester was unsatisfied with the Cabinets decision, but most of them cooled down a bit. The Großkommandant gave his aproval for the formation of relief funds and organizations for the Aldarminian people and guarantied that, should the current situation in Aldarminia deteriorate further, a diplomatic mission will be sent to the nation as well as a Observer to try and help mend the situation.

While the Government was making it's public statements, Abwehr agents secretly mingled with the populace and watched the masses, looking for suitable persons to gather in the Hamburg HQ as ordered unofficially by the Großkommandant. Crowd leaders and those mounting organizations for the relief were put under special supervision,as they were prime targets for the Großkommandant's plan. A detailed report of the potential persons would be sent later that day to the Großkommandant.

United Totalitarian State of Aldarminia
Grotrokaragod, West District
Civil Sector
Azcheyko Residence

It had been drizzling in Grotrokaragod for hours now. The bloody puddles from yesterday were slowly being diluted, and the ashes were being washed away. The smoldering houses of the civil sector were mostly quiet. More than half were in ruins. People lie in the streets. The women in children are weeping at their losses. The men are trying their best to control their anger so they do not enter a blood thirsty rage. Soldiers and tanks had marched through the day before. They raided houses, shot machine-guns at civilians, fired tank shells into houses, and killed dozens of people who were simply just driving on the street. Anyone who challenged them or got in their way, were beaten, arrested, and eventually executed.

There was one house that had been spared. The Azcheyko household. As soon as the soldiers arrived at Grotrokaragod, Dalikharl Azcheyko, a young single man living by himself, had raised an Aldarminian flag. None of the soldiers wanted to attack a loyalist. That was an automatic court martial and a firing squad would be waiting for you when it was over.

Now, Azcheyko was meeting with four other men in his basement. They sat around a nailed down wooden table.The only light was a number of candles on the table and on a counter nearby. Te electric company in Nordeshk had shut down temporarily. Azcheyko was wearing a bloodied white T-shirt, he had tried to save a dying man from a crossfire, and torn jeans. Azcheyko had long brown hair. Going left around the table from Azcheyko was Ivenkol Stochtingrod, Jhrodkaro Odiklokh, Ovrajha Slovracmha, and Cmhadik Brastravil.

Azcheyko spoke first, "Brothers, Comrades, we know what pain the tyrant redakt has brought upon us."

The others nodded solemnly. Azcheyko continued, "You have lost your homes, loved ones, and precious belongings. We have lost what freedoms we had left after 1996. The Totalitariets and their leader, Alderg Alderg III, had vrainwashed us and tricked us into following their commmands. They made us think our democratic government was treating us like dirt. They lied. We know this as the truth now. Since Redakt took power, we have lost more rights in thirteen years than any other group of people in the world. They forced us into slavery. Killed and imprisoned us for speaking our opinions. Took over and shut down our businesses. They took large chunks frowm our paychecks. They taxed many of us to homelessness and starvation. Now they kill thousands in the name of some madman's unknown cause! Now I say enough is enough! We must stand up and fight these murderous bastards! We must take back our country and kill all of the oligarchs! Especially that damned tyrant, kader Redakt!"

Brastravil retorted, "Are you mad? We're but a small town going against an army of millions! We'll be slaughtered!"

Stochtingrod responded, "But others will surely join us, Cmhadik. They'll have to. They'll have to choose between a small chance of freedom or an assurance of eternal slavery and oppression."

"More like a choice between death and life."

"Yes. That is almost certainly the outcome. That is if foreigners don't get involved. Some human rights die-hards will have to get wind of this. Then they'll certainly intervene. redakt will then have the choice of getting a lobotomy or letting us have our freedoms back. The choice he will make is obvious." , stated Odiklokh.

Slovracmha, who was an old veteran of many f the wars before the establishment of the Aldarminian State, replied, "Yes it is obvious. He'll kill even more of us and will threaten to use our vast arsenal of WMDs against any nation who dares to send a single observer. All foreign operations into Aldarminia would have to be covert and will almost certainly be aimed at the capitol."

Brastravil said angrily, "So what? What do we do?"

Azcheyko said solomnly, "Wait. We wait. Let this meeting be dismissed. I might think of something tomorrow. As of now, gentlemen, I think it's best you comfort what families you have left."

The others nodded, stood up, and left. Azcheyko left his basement. he went onto his computer in his office. He began typing up leaflets.

The Brotherhood of the Eagle's Talon was now being conceived in the mind of what could be the most famous man in Aldarminian history. Dalikharl Azcheyko.

Hamburg, Neo Prutenia
Military Harbour of the City

In the Fortress City of Hamburg, the Prut 3rd Fleet was gathered. On order of the Cabinet of the Großkommandant, by papers signed by the Leader himself, the 3rd Fleet was given very specific orders where to commence a training mission and a military excercise operation. As a location, the waters not far from Aldarminia were chosen. The 2nd Fleet would later intercept the third, to simulate a "unexpected" submarine attack from various directions. This was at least the official description of the mission, given both to the soldiers and the public. The Government and public maintained that such an operation would also put pressure on the Aldarminian Authorities to tone down with the violence in their state. Some speculated that such a vast navy assembled in such close proximity to Aldarminia could either trigger a armed rebellion against the government or at least make the parties reconsiderate a peaceful resolution to the conflicts in the land.

There was even a rumor circling various news stations and the internet that this was a disguised invasion fleet, which the Prut Government deliberately ignored and gave no statement to disprove it, only repeating it to be a training excercise. A few hours before the bulk of the prepared forces was to start towards their target locations, a copy of a official order began to circulate in the public. It was a short Excerpt from a larger list of orders. The message was put on the Internet and transmitted over various medias across the region. Interestingly, an unusual amount of the Radio transmission were broadcasted on various frequencies in the direction of Aldarminia. The Excerpt:

Further, should any people attempt to contact the Fleet during the excercise from Aldarminia proper, the Fleet Commander is authorized to give them shelter and protection as soon as they reach international waters and bestow upon them the status of refugees in Neo Prutenia, under protection of the state and international laws. Messages from Rebel groups within the country will be ignored. Only persons actually reaching the Fleet are to be given Prut protection...

Again, the Prut Government refused to confirm if the Excerpt was a fake or real. Stubbornly, even the Großkommandant only officially said that Neo Prutenia has no intentions of directly threatening the Aldarminian Government and won't directly intervene in any way. The excercise was planned for months, and the location is entirely coincidental. After so many funds and time was spent into organizing the effort, the Prut Government won't abandon it only because of civil unrest in Aldarminia, as that would be a waste of hundreds of millions of tax money.

Protests in the various Prut cities have toned down after the public witnessed at least some effort on part of the Authorities to consider the situation in Aldarminia as serious. Several Relief Funds were being organized, and most expected them to merge into one single large one to help rebuild and recuprate the Aldarminian State, after everything was settled. Unknowingly to all involved, the Abwehr was still secretly monitoring the entire situation, and the list of possible recruits was growing.

Prut Stealth Submarine "Mireille"
On here way to reach Aldarminia

The Captain of the vessel checked up the crew and the progress they made so far. No one has yet realized that they were about to enter Aldarminian waters and contined merrily to do their duties. After making sure everything was in order, he went to Schmidt to give him the good news. He found them talking with "Manfred". They had a mission Breifing, and several articles of clothing, papers andsome electrical equipment was spread out in a unorderly fashion on the large table they were sitting at.

- " I guess everything is in order, Herr Kapitän? " - " Yes, Herr Schmidt. I talked with my navigator, and we came to the conclusion that the city of Nordeshk would be the least protected and most vulnerable spot for an infiltration. Grotrokaragod to be more precise. " - " What do you know about that place? " - " Not much. A small boating village. It would probably be unaffected by the chaos which has envelopped the rest of the country. To small and insignificant. " - " I see. MA 88, that will be were you'll set foot then. " - " Yes, Herr Schmidt. " - this was the first time that Heiden heard the man speak. He decided to try his luck and use the opportunity to ask him a question or two: - " So, MA 88, do you know their language? " - " Sadly not. Aldarminian is difficult to learn, and it's even more difficult to find a teacher these days. I am however, familiar with Russian, Ukrainian and Polish, and the Aldarminians have slavic blood in them, so we should be able to communicate. " - " Some of them are familiar with english. " - " Perhaps, but I doubt that the inhabitants of a small fishing village would be familiar with it. " -

The Captain was slightly offended by the Operative's responce, as he himself had such an background. - " Fishers are the most likely people to know a second language, especially sailors. You shouldn't be suprised to find that several sons and fathers in that village served proudly in their countries navy for some years. That made them learn other languages. I wouldn't be supprised if you encountered someone speaking german, in additionto any other language spoken on the sea. " - " Thank you, Herr Kapitän. I'll keep that in mind. Now, please excuse me. I have to prepare for the mission in private. " - " You are excused. Kapitän Heiden, why don't the two of us go have a cup of that homemade tea of your's? " - Heiden just glanced over the exiting MA 88 and smiled back at Schmidt. - " Sure. Have I told you that it is made from herbs found only on a small island north of my hometown, Cuxhaven? " - " No, please tell me more. " -

As both of them went to the Capitains personal quarters, MA 88 went into his secluded part of the ship and kneeled to pray for the success of the mission and the safety of the crew. But above all else, he prayed for the poor souls already lost, and who are to be lost, in the conflicts in Aldarminia.

Grotrodiv Beach

It was quiet. Very quiet. The rain had stopped. Grotrokaragod had been cleaned up. Not by Government Sanitary Department workers. The residents of Grotrokaragod had cleaned up for themselves. The dead bodies were buried on the beach. In ancient Aldarminian tradition, a tombstone with an eagle engraved on it was used to mark each burial site. The few Christians, two or tree, were given a white cross made out of wood from their homes. Some of the town's residents made frames around the tombs so that they could pour concrete over the burial sites. After doing this, they engraved the names of the dead onto their makeshift tombs. They had made sure to make the tombs far away enough from the shore, so that the tide wouldn't be able to reach the tombs.

Dalikharl, Ivenkol, Jhrodkaro, Ovrajha, and Cmhadik had been elected by Grotrokaragod's residents to become the new town government. Even if it wasn't their decision to make. the five men called themselves the Grotrokaragod Militia Junta. The Grotrokaragodans didn't care what the five men called themselves, they just wanted peace and quiet. Azcheyko was elected as "Jarl", and was the head of the Junta. This new power gave him an idea.

Azcheyko and his fellow Junta members agreed that Grotrokaragod wouldn't be able to survive on its own. So a "resolution" was made. The young boy, Lhibadhiz Yoznelc, would be sent to Nordeshk to see the situation. If Lhibadhiz returned with a good report, the Junta would move all of the residents of grotrokaragod to Nordeshk. If the boy returned saying that Nordeshk was too dangerous, the Junta would agree tostay in the town until some sort of news arrived at the town. So Lhibadhiz was sent.

"No sir. We would've observed a massive flow internet traffic in our servers and even more traffic with the phones."

"All phones are tapped right?"

"Yes sir and not a single person is talking about this inside our nation."

"Good. I'll be sending the leader of Prutenia a warning, though. Not even all the false gods could stop me now. And I certainly am not going to let some self-righteous democratic dogs stop me."

Dear Mr. Großkommandant,

Recent events in Aldarminia seemed to have become of interest in your nation. We understand your nation's concerns. I am speaking for all of Aldarminia when I say this. I am very sorry for the misunderstanding. I was the one in that controversial video. Sadly, a number anti-government radicals twisted the video into something it wasn't. I was merely executing a group of terrorists out of frustration. The radicals spread propaganda claiming that the executed were protesters. That is a lie. So with this news, your relief funds are not needed and you can now calm your population down.

I also have to give you this warning. If any Prutenian ship is found in Aldarminian waters, it'll be destroyed, and all surviving crewmembers will be detained. Any Prutenian found in Aldarminia will detained. If they attempt to run, resist, or if they are discovered to be a spy, they'll be killed. Aldarminia now has a closed border. Is that understood?

After recieving the message from the Redakt regime, the Großkommandant simply send a reply. Such a message was highly anticipated and would serve as a nice way of learning the Redakt regime's intentions. The Reichskommandatur already made their stance clear, and the Cabinet was aware of the Großkommandant's policies.

It is understandable that you react in such a manner, but no warning or threats from you are needed to assure Prut neutrality in this manner. As Herr Redakt is surely aware, people tend to say quite a lot of things in the Media and the Internet, and most of it is rubbish, especially when the Internet is concerned. I do belive that the video showing your dispensing of justice to native malcontents was shown out of context and in a deliberately bad light by dissenting elements in the country. We already dismissed it as a non-issue. If you have followed the news here in the Land of Prut, you surely have noticed that we, the Government, have already confirmed that we won't interfere in any way and don't maintain a stance toward what transpires within the borders of another sovereign nation.

I advise you to dismiss the ranting of Prut Conspiracy theorists the same way we dismissed the false propaganda of Aldarminian malcontents. I would further advise you to hold a public conference to explain that matter. People tend to belive the wildest things these days, a strong stance from both governments and effort put into showing the truth to "bleeding hearts" and civil right activists will calm down the situation. And I will use this opportunity to confirm again, Aldarminian Sovereignity and the Legitimacy of the Aldarminian Government are inalienable, this is our official stance. No Prut intervention will happen. Even the so-called "Relief funds" are maintained and started by private companies and citizens, our Government has nothing to do with it. I am sure that as soon as things get back to normal in Aldarminia, that money will be used for charities and similar events, or will simply disappear, as it often happens in such events. No need to worry yourself over it.

I will however still authorize the Fleet excecise. We have invested a considerable amount of our operational budget into it, and I won't allow the funds to go to waste. The excercise being in international waters in your proximity is a coincidence. You can't honestly expect from us to anticipate civil unrest in Aldarminia several month in advance while we were planning our training operation. If you wish, you can send observers to the operation, as many Aldarminian Warships as you need to feel safe, to supervise the entire operation and confirm it to be nothing more then a excercise. However, I do have to demand that any data you gather be not disclosed to the Prut Fleet Commanders as long as the Excercise lasts, else the results will be spoiled. Further, as unlikely as it might be, if any Prut vessel accidentally enters Aldarminian waters, it will be by coincidence and coincidence only. They will have order to immidiately surrender to Aldarminian authorities and be escorted out.

Another thing, if a single Prut ship or Prut soldier is harmed deliberatly by your forces during the excercise without justification, we will treat that as a casus belli. I have no intentions of invading Aldarminia, regardless of what some people with to much spare time on the Internet say, but I will defend Prut interests. I highly doubt that you want to wage war against a modern nation state while your country is under civil unrest. Leaves us do our jobs, and we'll leave you to your's. I respect your healthy dose of paranoia, and I will of course honour your right to deal with malcontents within your country in whatever way you see fit, but I will enforce international laws and the security of my forces. One-sided, autocratical and arbitrary dealing with Prut won't be tolerated. We are perfectly willing to cooperate, as long as our rights are respected.

With all due respect, Großkommandant Hohenheimer of Neo Prutenia

"Mireille" was still on her way to the designated shore. Grotrokaragod would soon be reached. The Crew and the Navigator gave their best to remain undetected and they entered Aldarminian territorial waters by stealth, to the best of their abilities. MA 88 was still preparing himself for the entry. He finished his prayers and dressed into his diving suit. The submarine won't surface, so he'll have to leave and reach the shore by himself. He only waited for the Staff to confirm that they have arrived as far as they could, and that he had a chance.

Meanwhile, back home the efforts of the Abwehr continued, and the mock excercise Fleet was on her way.

Dear Mr. Großkommandant Hohenheimer,

We appreciate your understanding of our situation and your respect of Aldarminia's sovereignty. At the moment, the Aldarminian government cannot make a large scale conference to clear this situation up. Circumstances are dangerous for many of us with violent dissenters and multiple death threats. I'll make sure to have all city mayors and all District Directorates have separate conferences to address the matter. They are the only ones able to make any public appearances safely.

I would like to ask you to set up a firewall on all internet servers in your nation. This firewall should block all websites coming from an Aldarminian address. If you could also block all images, statements, videos, audio clips, phone calls, text messsages, faxes, etc., basically all communication, from Aldarminia. This would be greatly appreciated. Of course allow communications from the Aldarminian government, though. If you cannot do this, try your best or make it a 'frowned upon' thing for the time being. This is to maintian the security and stability of the Aldarminian state. If you could also detain all Aldarminian refugees and notify us of their capture. We will send transport for them to be returned to Aldarminia so that they may be punished and assimilated. Leaving Aldarminian territory is currently a crime if you're not an authorized foreign visitor.

Your exercise will be allowed. We will send a handful of unarmed UAVs to observe the exercise. A few patrol boats will be on standby nearby inside of Aldarminian waters. Any Prut ship entering our waters will be stopped, boarded, and searched. The crew will be questioned on the patrol boats. After the procedure, the crew will be returned to their ship. The ship will then be escorted back to the area where the exercise is taking place. If the ship or any of the crew resists or attacks the aptrol boats or the boarding teams, there will serious consequences. If any items that could provide aid to Aldarminians within Aldarminia or to Aldarminian refugees are found on the boat, they will be confiscated and the crew will detained until a fine of 100,000 NSD is paid. These items are the usual items for an aid mission. Extra water, clothes, food, etc.

Thank you in advance for your compliance.

Lhibadhiz Yoznelc finally arrived at Nordeshk in the night. The thirteen year old boy had rode his bike the whole way from Grotrokaragod. He had been chosen due to his knowledge of the city. He had once lived there. Lhibadhiz's parents would've been sent, but they were killed when the soldiers arrived at Grotrokaragod. So Lhibadhiz was chosen and was promised a position on the Junta.

Nordeshk was desolate. Buildings everywhere were destroyed and crumbling. Some were on fire. Lhibadhiz could hear gunfire and screaming in the distance. He could also hear explosions. Lhibadhiz looked around in fear. The gunfire and explosions were getting closer and closer. He spotted bodies inside of the buildings and on the streets. He also heard a car.

Looking down the street he was on, Lhibadhiz saw two lights. They were a car's head lights and they were coming towards him. Once it was few yards away, the car, which was actually an old rusted pick-up truck, stopped. In the back were four armed men, two women, one baby, and one young girl. In the driver's seat was a man. Sitting next to him in the passenger seat was a women with a little boy in her lap. One of the armed men, who was wearing dirty, faded beige trenchcoat, got out and approached Lhibadhiz. Lhibadhiz was frightened. The man pointed his gun, a hunting rifle, towards the sky and held uphis hand as he walk slowly to Lhibadhiz. His voice was hoarse when he spoke, "Hey kid. What are you doing out here? Don't you know it's dangerous to be out at night?"

Lhibadhiz stood silently in fear. The man spoke again, "Where are you from?"

Lhibadhiz studdered, "G-G-Gr-Gr-Grotrokaragod."

"Ah. The little fishing town south of here?"

"Y-Y-Yes."

"What's your name, kid?"

Lhibadhiz quietly replied, "Lhibadhiz Yoznelc."

"Okay then. Do you know what's going on here?"

Lhibadhiz shook his head. The was a bust of gunfire that sounded only three blocks away. Everyone in the truck and the man looked around surprise. The man said, "Well Lhibadhiz, there's some pretty bad and dangerous and bloody stuff going on here. Military has been gunning down anyone in there way. us and some other people have been trying to fight them off. Bastards are just blasting everything. They've been doing it for days now. We're leaving the city now. You might want to come with us. We'll have to pass through Grotrokaragod on the way. We're heading to Maduckii. So you coming with us?"

Lhibadhiz slowly followed the man to the back of truck of and got inside. The group left the city. They headed towards Grotrokaragod. Behind them, back inside the city of Nordeshk, a convoy of M1A2 Abrams Tanks and humvees steemrolled through the Public Housing Sector killing anyone not inside a house or building. An old woman on the street asking for help from a humvee machine-gunner was mangled by .50 caliber rounds.

ENCRYPTED: YES

I know all to well how such a situation can deteriorate, especially when civil unrest is to be suspeted. I hope that the lower echelons of the government will be able to ease the situation, but without a firm stand by the higher ranked members, your situation could become worse, or the effects of the unrest might be prolonged. I would advise you on taking that into account. As mentioned, we already had quite much experience with such situations, far more then we wish the world to know.

With that said, I must elaborate on the other two points you requested - blocking of Aldarminian sites, i.e. nearly all communication with Aldarminia and the extraction of fugitives. Both of those things my Cabinet will have to deny you regrettably. It would be a severe breach of our constitution. Besides, Neo Prutenia hasn't signed neither any international treaty, or one with Aldarminia regarding the extraction of foreigners. We will label sites from Aldarminia as highly suspicious, and warn the population to calm down and see it as nothing more then the fearmongering of a few malcontents. As far as fugitives go, we cannot extract them without both, losing face and risking civil unrest in our country, but we can conviniently "lose" some of them along the way.

If you'd head my advice on these matters, it would be far better to open constant communication with the entire world and to propagate your side of the conflict. The current situation, although understandable, is highly suspicious. The bland attempts of the Aldarminian malcontents to terrorize the populace and lie to th world will be swept aside by a constant, maintained and well-executed propaganda campaign. Not all countries might react as Neo Prutenia, several might use the current situation as a pretext to invade or meddle into Aldarminian affairs. Countries with much more sinister aims then our fair Meritocracy. And by the good will of the Lord, why would you want your dissenters and malcontents to remain within the country, getting them out as quickly as possible should be your second biggest priority - the primary being to eliminate them.

There is another issue I'd like to adress in this message, and this is also why this message was encrypted this way. The first message I sent was concerned more with finding out how my equal in Aldarminia would react and how reliable he is, then to really start negotiations. And you, Herr Redakt, have convinced me. The Abwehr, our Intelligence Agency, has investigated several rumours and suspicious organizations, and continues to do so. Evidence and several reports indicate that elements within Aldarminia conspire to provoke a war between Aldarminia and another country. We are currently trying to pinpoint which countries have been chosen, but we are fairly sure that Neo Prutenia is one of them. There are two things which make the whole thing suspicious. Namely, the location and time of the naval excercise was leaked into the black market. We didn't deem it an important leak until now, but we do believe that the civil unrest in Aldarminia starting coincidentally at the exact time of our naval excersie is highly unprobable. Further, a large number of small purchases of Prut weaponry has been traced to Aldarminian sources. Both these incidents happened over the course of the last 8 months.

If this is true, then we fear that the excercise fleet might be targeted by malcontents within your country to provoke a war. If Prut weaponry has indeed been smuggled into Aldarminia, then the possibility of a as Prut soldiers disguised insurgency force attacking Aldarminia proper at the same time is a realistic option. Forces neither you or me are aware of are moving in the shadows. The Abwehr is already heavily investigating suspects within Neo Prutenia, especially the hastily and newly formed Aldarmnian Relief organizations, while my personnel is investigating the military. I would not only advise on doing the same, but politely request that you do the same. Copies of the reports and documents we have so far can be provided, but I would like to avoid it being given in the public, or over official channels. A good compromise would be if you could send "trusted" personnel as observers or investigators to the excercise fleet to pick up the data and return it in a safe manner to the Legitimate Aldarmnian Authorities. For the sake of both countries security, we should maintain contact regardless of what happens.

With all due respect, Großkommandant Hohenheimer of Neo Prutenia

The mostly forged and tweaked report were already readied by the Abwehr in a very professional manner. It was easy to replace orders and money transfers from appropriate Aldarmnian companies and firms and change the numbers, while maintaining the appropriate dates and cargo sizes. It was a simple, and therefore efficent plan. If compared to Aldarmnian reports, the Prut equivalents would indicate that Aldarmnian organizations purchased more and loaded more cargo then their officially spent money in their records or unloaded in Aldarmnia. An investigation is sure to follow. The Abwehr hoped that it would by the necessary time needed to organise a more efficent incursion into Aldarmnia and that the informations and data provided will seed suspicion and insecurity in the regime, leading to infighting.

Prut Stealth Submarine "Mireille"
Of the cost of Grotrokaragod, Aldarminia

Herr Schmidt came to visit MA 88 a last time. He found him fully dressed, ready and prepared, sitting on a chair and looking at a icon of the Lady of Prut, with a candle slowly burning besides the image. - " MA 88, the mission is about to start. " - Without words, he stood up, came to Schmidt and nodded in approval, then proceeded with him to a special part of the ship. "Mireille" was equiped with several floodable Airlocks and a diving chamber. A scuba diver with three crates attached to it was presented to MA 88 by the captain.

- " It is a reliable model, and quite difficult to detect, although n one could detect you on such a short excursion from the "Mireille" to the town. The crates are weapons and ammo, with some grenades thrown in. They will help you establish first contact with the locals and prove your legitimacy. We will remain in the vicinity, and we'll try to make contact with you at the same spot here. If you make any advances with the locals, more weapons and equipment could be provided. " - MA 88 just listened to the captain, without saying a word or interrupting him in any other way. Even Schmidt remained silent, so Heiden just continued: - " So, any question or last words before you start? " - MA 88 was quiet, but he looked at the Prut flag displayed on a nearby wall and gestured with his eyes towards it, while both, he and Schmidt smiled. The captain could figure out what the joke was until he pinpointed the same things the other two were looking at - the motto of Neo Prutenia.

They parted ways right after that. MA 88 disappeared in the diving chamber and was soon on his way to Grotrokaragod, while Schmidt and Heiden whispered a good luck wish for him. - 'May the Lady of Prut protect him on his journey. " - " You say it, Herr Schmidt. How come, we must move "Mireille" away from here and assume position at a more secure location further north. " - " Of course. What will your crew be doing now? " - " After securing the position, we will send Frogmen to map the region around us, we have several more Scubas and a splendily equipped team, several teams to be more precise. " - " To what end? " - " In case of intervention. We wil have to map the location of every sonar buoy in Aldarminian waters, which could take several days up to a few weeks and place charges on them. In case of a attack we will effectively blind them for several ours until they can deploy smaller mobile buoys. Besides, our specialist can monitor their own fleet movements with their buoys, which will enable us to better coordinate our maneuvers, if it comes to that. " -

- " I see. Well, then, proceed with your mission, Kapitän Heiden. By all means, I wasn't aware that naval warfare had so many subtleties. " - " Oh, you've seen nothing. Imagine the damage we could do if their ships are docked. If their entire army and navy is forced to deal with insurgencies all over the country, and the rest of their seamen forcd to dance around our fleet, most of their ships will be docked and sparesly protected. A few charges here and there, and we could sink it before it can become a threat. " - While Heiden continued to impress Schmidt with his ideas and plans, MA 88 was already closing in on the town.

He hid the Scuba under the small dock at first, then he carefully detached the crates and dragged them as silently as possible through the water just beneath the dock. He then moved the Scuba away from that place and hid it near a rock formation a little bit further south, securing it with several chains and ropes, so as to not be swept away by the high or low tide. The crates didn't have that problem, as they were heavy enough to resist water currents, and sealed good enough to protect the weapons inside from enviromental and water hazards for several decades.

He then stepped out of the water and undressed his diving suit, packed it together and hid it between two old barrels, all to common on such sites. He had a unmarked Prut uniform beneath a layer of civilian clothing, and on his person he had carefully placed his equipment - Heckler & Koch MP7, Heckler & Koch USP with a sound suppressor and a light attachment, and the reliable KM2000, as well as a few spare clips of ammo and a few other, smaller things. His first objective was to get a good look about the whole situation, so he began to sneak around the town, avoiding light sources and trying to find a suitable spot for observation.

Once the Prut message was verified to be encypted, Stivetrigod and Redakt were sent to their private meeting room in Sub-Level 7. They'd be the only ones to read it after it was decrypted. Sub-Level 7 was the absolute most secure and secret room within the COG Bunker. It was where Redakt and Stivetrigod personally wrote-up their plans for the transformation of Aldarminia and where they had meetings that would often make decisions that ranged from assasinations to bombings to spying. They would have a special guest. The guest was the most notorious ACGIA agent, Bane.

Bane was the agent responsible for planning Operation Eagle Duel which successfully secured the Aldarminian claim on a colony against Yethtu. Bane was also responsible for numerous ACGIA-sponsored and ordered killings. Bane was also the one who single-handedly killed the leader of the Aldamer Terrorist Organization and the man who had caught Redakt's execution on tape. Bane knew eveything that happened in Aldarminia. Everything from the Aldarminian military building another nuclear missile to an old man saying he liked it better under the Aladamian democracy. Bane was now the only one whose identity was not known to Totalitarian Kader Redakt. Bane was the safeguard who made sure Redakt never went up against Alderg Alderg III's plans for Aldarminia.

The three men met in the room. Redakt read the message. Bane quickly gave a response afterwards, "I have no idea what Prutenia is ot for. I wouldn't trust them. Send me to the exercise. I'll get the information and I'll tell you within two hours after if we've been lied to. I want to take Blair and Rendoac with me. If there are any traitors in our midst, Rendoac and Melidik are who I'd bet on. They've clearly expressed their want for more power and wealth. Neither were active participants in the '96 Revolution. I'm bringing Blair as a control to make sure our military is planning a coup. Smith wouldn't do a thing. She's too busy being sad from her husband's death."

KS and Redakt nodded and agreed. Redakt sent one more message to the Prutenians.

TO: Großkommandant Hohenheimer of the Meritocratic Republic of Neo Prutenia
FROM: Totalitarian Kader Redakt of the United Totalitarian State of Aldarminia
SUBJECT: Mostly Agreed
ENCRYPTED: YES

Dear Großkommandant Hohenheimer,

For the most part, I agree with your suggestions. I will make a nationally broadcasted statement from my current location. All "lost" refugees will be dealt with accordingly. As for your assumptions, I will immediately have the ACGIA look into it. As for the personnel at the exersie, we'll be sending three. Petrokilav Kesjadii, Russell Blai, and Sarduck Rendoac. They're all apart of ACGIA. They'll be approaching the exercise on a patrol boat.

We will maintain communications with you. Also, anyone that you arrest that you believe to be involved with these malcontents, please send them to us once you're done with them or allow ACGIA agents to interrogate them. Thank you, once again.

Signed,

Ivenkol Stochtingrod, as a member of the GMJ, Grotrokaragod Militia Junta, was tasked with a sector to patrol late in the night. He had been given the Boating and Docks Sector. Ivenkol was by the docks when noticed a disturbance. He watched as a figure moved crates and items from the docks to a group of rocks. The figure then carefully moved out of the docks and was now on the southern side of Fish Storage Compound.

Ivenkol waited until the figure moved towards rubble of the Fishing Equipment and Utilities Store. He then stepped out in front of the figure. Ivenkol shined his flashlight on the figure while brandishing a club. Ivenkol shouted, "Halt! Who are you and what are you doing out here?"

Private Office of the Großkommandant

Friedrich was sitting in his chair and checked up on the Fleet movement, trying to calculate when it will reach Aldarminia's region. The Notifier on his PC caught his attention while he was in the middle of it. At least it was a good message, as far as he was concerned. He was secretly hoping that "Mireille" would find the time and place to send a report in the meantime, as all the fooling around with the Redakt Regime will be of no use, if the tactical report from the sub and the operative don't arrive on his desk. He just confirmed to Redakt what he thought that the man wanted to hear in the reply:

TO: Totalitarian Kader Redakt of the United Totalitarian State of Aldarminia
FROM: Großkommandant Hohenheimer of Neo Prutenia
SUBJECT: Confirmation
ENCRYPTED: YES

Excellent. The better relations and cooperations we achieve between our governments, the sooner both our societies will be pacified again. I sincerely hope that the exchange of data will help us discover the culprits behind it, if our assumptions are correct. The Fleet will need a few days to arrive and position itself, so I advise on using that time to create a list of possible suspects and their underlings, so as to be able to crossreference it with the documents and reports to be provided when our representatives meet. Avoid sending it over any tracable channels, even encrypted except if absolutely necessary. We cannot risk it falling into the hands of those behind it. I will personally send you the exact date when your delegate will meet our agents on a predetermined ship of the Fleet, to ensure that no leaks happen in the time between.

As far as malcontents are concerned, they will be "lost" along the way. If it becomes to suspicious, or if they are arrested in to great numbers for cover ups, we'll make an arrangement and transfer your personnel into the Land to pick them up. Discretion is advised in such matters. I belive to have already several possible approaches if it comes to that, to maintain both our countries security, while leaving malcontents in the dark. As mentioned, I will respond in a few days to confirm everything, until then, good luck.

With all due respect, Großkommandant Hohenheimer of Neo Prutenia

Although being fluent in several slavic languages and having a germanic native tongue, MA 88 had great difficulties in understanding what the person in front of him said. Judging by the intonation of his voice and his body language, and the club in his hand, he assumed nothing good. He prepared himself to jump to the side and disarm the man, if he would attack him, which he wasn't sure if he would do or not, so he remained calm, giving the other person the iniciative and waiting for him to act. Then he tried to address him in Russian, English and German, hoping that his discoverer knew at least one of them.

- "Говорите ли вы русский язык? Or perhaps English? Oder Deutsch? " -

OOC - Just state in which language he answers, if he know any of them, and write in English. I used the originals just for flavor.

[The North Papal States]

Six men met. Not literally, of course; computers served their purposes just as well. Most of the names could be extrapolated...but never could they be proven. There were measures against that. Each man sat just outside the glowing screens of their devices, the outline of their faces barely visible. It was an old spy movie trick, but one that worked well.

Synthesizers spoke for them, with various differences of course to make the situation less confusing to those legitimately present. Only one of the six could point out the other five, and discovery would mean annihilation for them all.

"The Aldarminian situation is rapidly becoming untenable." A tallish figure spoke, his synthesized voice low and deep.

The other five shifted nervously. They knew it, but it was not something they liked to confront. The whims of the Papal States's citizenry where totally unable to be denied...but they were almost universally bad for business, and they tended to make the political situation...dangerous.

"The people are screaming for Kader Redakt's head on a platter." the tall one added, still waiting for an answer.

A short, squat figure, his synthesized voice tinny, spoke up. "Small wonder." the short one squeaked. "You all saw what he did."

The tallish figure sighed. Nobody was willing to take responsibility for the war. Especially given how expensive it would almost certainly turn out to be."The Pope flatly refuses to take an interest in this." he whined. "It's up to us to decide. War...or not?"

Another shortish figure, lacking hair, cut in, finally, with a standard synthesized voice. "War." the figure grumbled, in a monosyllable.

Not a single of the Six disagreed.

"So it shall be."

[[[----]]]

Televisions flickered on across the Papal States, often without a hand to turn the switch. In the cities, ads were cut-off mid sentence, and the face of Jacob Clermont, Papal Supreme Commander, was broadcast across the nation. His voice reached through thousands upon thousands of loudspeakers. Every man and woman who could hear the words and understand, did.

"For crimes against his neighbor..." the leader of the Papal Armed Forces started, with all the multitudes at rapt attention.

Chests were wrenched open, to reveal gun upon gun nestled softly on gray foam. They were pulled roughly from the chests and passed to a veritable crowd of soldiers, who attached them wordlessly, solemnly, to their packs of supplies. Soon the guns would rest upon the rotting corpses of the soldiers who took them. But not before they fulfilled their terrible purpose upon the enemy.

"For crimes against himself..."

A child, too young to know the world, stared in stupid wonder at the sky. Dots, like of birds, filled the horizon. But they were not birds, and they flew not in silence. A buzzing, as of locusts, filled the air. The boy's mother, practically screaming in hysteria and joy at having found him, ran from the house to the child, picking him up and holding him to her bosom. As she did so, the first jets flew overhead, rattling the windows as they passed. She was inside before the helicopters followed.

"And for crimes against God..."

The Pope, or rather those two the public knew as "the Immortal Pope", watched the skies from their bunker. They watched as storm clouds rolled in, followed by an uncountable number of aircraft, who appeared to be chasing them. They were not sorrowful, they were not fearful, they were not proud. The expression that graced both their faces could best be described as one of vague annoyance, or of boredom.

"We hereby condemn Kader Redakt, and the current government of Aldarminia." Jacob finished quickly, glaring furiously at the screen as though he were speaking only to Redakt himself.

"God have mercy, Kader. We shall not."

Totalitarian Kader Redakt read and responded to the Neo Prutenian message himself. He was in his personal quarters at the time, preparing to broadcast his statement. The actual reply was only a few sentences.

FROM: Totalitarian Kader Redakt of the United Totalitarian State of Aldarminia
SUBJECT: You As Well
ENCRYPTED: NO

Dear Großkommandant Hohenheimer,

I wish to say the same to you. Good luck. Simply alert us whenever the fleet is in position. Well these series of messages may come to an end. It's been a pleasure.

Once the message was finished, Redakt was about to make his final preparations for the broadcast, but a call came from the room's telephone. Redakt answered. It was Secretary of Military and Defense Affairs Russell Blair who spoke, "Comrade, military intelligence says a possible declaration of war from the North Papal States. They may or not be mobilizingan invasion force."

Redakt slammed his fist on the nearby desk in fury. "Son of a-! They must've seen the damn video! I want all forces mobilized immediately!"

"Already done, sir. They were all mobilized once the dissidents got violent. There's been reportings of militant groups and guerrillas in the east, by the way."

"Unbelievable! Who the hell are the North Papal States?"

"We've never made contact with them, sir. I talked to Stivetrigod. He says they're a massive nation with a mosty likely massive military. We might have to fight an extremely hard fight, sir."

"Damn! I want their leader on an untraceable line ASAP! And Comrade Blair, I want all ICBMs readied."

"Yes, sir, Totalitarian. Comrade, sir, there's another reason I contacted you. A Private Treminko Ivajhadic, a soldier in the 32^nd Infantry Division in Delema, showed true valor when he and his squad were ambushed by armed dissenters. Private Ivajhadic killed more than a dozen dissenters and rescued two of his comrades from the crossfire."

"He must've been a good soldier. When I make the broadcast I'll announce my plan to award him the Founder's Medal of Comradery and Valor. But not until I'm finished with this fool."

Bair hung up. As Redakt had ordered, an untraceable phone connection was set up. Redakt called the office of Papal Supreme Commander Jacob Clermont. The phone began to ring.

Ivenkol understood the Russian statement and was able to figure out the meaning of the German one from his experience with Germanic fisherman. Ivenkol was now even more suspicious, though. He knew that this man had to be a foreigner. There was no doubt. An Aldarminian, even if their government had betrayed them, was proud of their heritage and language. He now spoke in Russian, but with an Aldarminian accent, and his tone was stern, "I understand Russian. You're a foreigner! What are you doing here! Tell me or I'll beat you to death. And don't think I won't. And don't try anything either!"

Jhralmishvik was a small town in the mountains south of the Aldarminian capitol of Aldaler. the town was largely isolated and had been left untouched by the chaos throughout the nation. Jhralmishvik was where Missourians had arrived. The shop they had entered was hiking gear shop owned and managed by Ushvad Mikheilvadii. Ushvad was surprised when four men unfamiliar to the residents of Jhralmishvik came into his shop asking for directions.

Ushvad gave them a suspiciou look and asked "wearily" in his heavy, loud, boisterous Aldarminian accent and voice, "Where are you guys going?"

The man in the black overalls stood on the border. He looked through the darkness and into Aldarminia. He turned to his unit and put up his fist. They nodded and ducked. He punched the air in front of him and they began moving forward. They snuck into the bushes and began navigating their way forward. They expected patrols, but hoped that they could get into the country undetected.

They made their way to a small river and managed to traverse it undetected. They pulled themselves up onto the other bank, the aldarminian bank, silently. They scouted the area for resistance, working their way around the patrols and wound up in a small town, surrounded by farmland.

A base camp was set up in the mountains overlooking the town. The Castryan revolutionary incentive unit could now operate and assist the Aldarminian rebels.

- " Da, I am not from here. Please friend, listen to me and don't attack. I have done nothing wrong. I'm running away from the Government. I don't know how much you good people from Grotrokaragod are aware of what is happening in the rest of the country, but the Totalitarnyĭ has gone mad, killing people, commiting crimes and seizing property from the helpless. They wan't to murder me because of my contacts abroad. I am...or better to say, I was a foreign correspondant in Aldarminia until this happened. I arrived in Aldarminia a few month before everything started. This was my biggest story so far, and it slipped their editors and censors, rising concern and suspicion in my homecountry and various others. They didn't like it, they... " -

MA 88 stopped for a moment, an expression of fear, shock and revulsion on his face. He gestured to his discoverer to wait a moment, as if he needed to recover from something, raising his open hand in front of himself, then continued in a more calm tone. - " I brought everything I could with me, from Nordeshk. Or what is left from Nordeshk. I don't know if you saw me move my possessions or not, but I placed them near your dock. My boat sank below the waters. I just need a place to rest and sleep, and I appreciate something to eat and drink. I'll even pay, I have some money left.

"They're in a small town in the Northern District asking for directions," replies the Special Forces Director. Meanwhile, Captain Jack Stringer meets with his team, a 10-Man Squad of the Best of the Best.
