The Tychrome War I (IC-OPEN) (TYCHROME ONLY)

[Dvinglus]

The Tychrome War I (IC)

Tychrome. A rather large region, diverse, happy, thriving - until a little while back. And after some nations got maybe too friendly with each other, they decided to take their bonds to the next step - alliances. And from the ground arose The Equatorial Central Defense Organization (ECDO), the Grand Council of United Tychrome (GCUT), the Greater United Alliance (GUA), and the Tychrome Defense Initiative (TDI).

Nobody could have denied that these alliances would have created a rivalry. Slowly but gradually, it became crystal clear - the ECDO and the GCUT didn't exactly like each other. And, considering that they were arguably the most powerful alliances in the region, it wasn't surprising that they started to try to grasp for as much power as possible.

Many small conflicts and wars popped up and then gradually broke down, but nobody saw this one coming. In the early morning of this day that would live in historic infamy, the ECDO announced a "protection" of Tychrome. In other words, they wanted to annex Tychrome and take all the land for themselves.

But that's what the ECDO did. The question now is, what will everyone else do?

_____________________________________________________________

Welcome to the Tychrome War IC. It is up to the players what to do with this thread, the alliances you make, enemies you gain, and annihilation you cause all contributes to an ultimate ending that none of us could imagine. For questions, telegram the OP, Darvale or the COOP, Dvinglus. For questions regarding regional affairs and the structure of our roleplays, telegram Solocon.

We wish you the best of luck. Let the war begin!

Solon, Solocon

The Equatorial Defense Central Organization's fate would be changed forever.

It all started when a man walked into a room. No, that's not correct, because the being wasn't a man and the room wasn't a room. It all started when Driak Cove, Head of the Intelligence Sector, walked into a spherical space that was the equivalent of a room in Solocon. A very large room, given that the space was about the size of a cavern, and also a very dark room, because the only illumination came from the open door at the end of the pathway and Driak's bio-luminescent eyes.

The room, sensing his presence, immediately lit up. Holographic images lit up everywhere, crystal clear because of the room's darkness. Symbols and pictures whizzed around, warping and obeying the mental commands of Driak, who manipulated them with ease. A human wouldn't be able to understand their language. To Driak, English was a flat piece of paper, existing only in two dimensions.

A picture of Earth came onto the screen. It was a strange place; covered with whites and greens and blues that looked out of place and misused. The blue was too dark, the green was too intense, the planet didn't look habitable. But it was. Oh, the humans lived there, and soon all of them would do the same thing that Solonians did 300 years ago: expand into space, conquering planets and increasing population.

Except they were everywhere.

The freaking humans were all over the place, and according to the Science Sector, Solocon was near-completely surrounded with their colonies. At first, they thought that a swift invasion would render Earth a new Solonian colony, and they were pretty wrong. A one-time-all-consuming-annexation was impossible, so Solocon had to admit that it had competition and cooperate and be friendly. Driak and the rest of The Government soon realized that the humans were smarter than they looked, and that they were on the verge of interstellar civilization.

And there was just one problem: some of these civilizations saw Solocon as Solocon formerly saw Earth: a treasure trove, ready to be attacked, destroyed, looted, and enslaved. And that was not going to happen. Not on Driak Cove's watch.

The nations of E.D.C.O. showed him that Earth was ready for something more, that Earth wasn't going to give up so easily. E.D.C.O. showed Driak that the humans were ready to join Solon in the stars, and that the human race was not one to mess with.

And so the Earth Sector was formed. The headquarters were to be built in an E.D.C.O. owned territory, as was the agreement with the Lyrasonans. The Earth Sector would be a symbol of an acceptance of Earth and the human race, an acceptance of the nations of E.D.C.O.. The Earth Sector's job was actually quite simple, but it was very, very important:

To orchestrate the advancement of the human race to an interstellar level, and to pacify Earth towards Solocon.

The future of The Nation could be in the balance.

Today was the day that the Earth Sector would make its first real move. Two probes, one going towards Lewayiin's Earth colony, the other en route to Washington, USAW, were going to give E.D.C.O. a massive upper hand.

Two probes were about to change Earth forever.

ETA: 2 days.

The TV was blaring loudly so Colonel Spielman could hear it in the next room of his two-room suite. He laid down on his bed, facing the floor and listening to the CNBN 24-hour news channel. He was soon to be a general, a position he had been waiting for his entire career. He didn't want it to happen at this time.

Colonel Spielman was about to be responsible for millions of deaths.

"After more animosity between the ECDO and the makeshift alliance known as GCUT," The TV announced. "Cyaanian armed forces have begun lining the borders of Darvale, to provide protection to themselves, and some speculate, to prepare an invasion. We now go live to a press conference with the Queen herself..."

The Cyaanian forces were there on the border of Darvale, waiting for orders from Spielman, a ticking time bomb.

[Arstozcah]

Arstozcan borders

The sentries at the border crossing point stared out across the snow covered landscape, the biting cold wind didn't bother them due to the thick Arctic warfare uniforms they had on under their composite ballistic armour, one of the soldier reached up and pulled his goggles of so he could scrape off the thin layer of ice that was beginning to form on the inside then slide them back onto his face, the last thing he wanted was for his eyes to freeze. He jumped slightly when his replacement for the next eight hour tapped him on the shoulder and said "time for you to get some sleep Sasha."

Sasha turned and grinned "okay, I'll see you in eight hours Adrian." He then trudged throught the snow to the accommodation block after going throught the two sets of door -designed to keep the heat in and the cold out- he began to take off the winter clothing and padded through to the sleeping quarters neatly folding his outdoor equipment and placing it on top of his footlocker. Sasha looked around the room, most of the soldier were men but a few women were dotted around the room. Everyone in the room was either sleeping in their bunks, quietly reading or were putting on their equipment ready for their shift outside in the Arstozcan winter. Sasha sat climbed the ladder to his bunk and quietly slide under the covers then almost instantly feel asleep. Outside the weather would kill anyone not wearing the proper winter clothing with temperatures dropping to minus 85'c, the guards here did not have to worry about aircraft or tanks due to the fact that if the cold didn't stop them then the wind or terrain would.

[The Ancient World]

Trinity

"...as tensions escalate between ECDO and GCUT, the nation of Cyaania has already lined up troops along its Darvalian border, most likely in preparation for war..."

Uh-oh, President Guyette thought as he watched the news. All it had been for the past few days, weeks, even, was ECDO vs. GCUT. It was bound to happen eventually. They just didn't know when it would happen.

He switched off the TV and headed downstairs to the situation room to evaluate, well, the situation. What they didn't know was that a Solocon-sent probe was hurtling towards Trinity-and it would change everything.

[Darvale]

Town of Burlington

"Take position, squad", Squad Leader Evan Hart whispered through his Communication Link. 5 elite sharpshooter units, hand-picked by James Marvin, Head of the Armed Forces himself, scattered into the small, Darvalian town. After a recent threat by the Cyaanians, hinting a possible invasion, units like this had been sent all over the western line.

And sharpshooter, previously referred to as "snipers", weren't the only ones sent to defend Darvalian soil. Heavy Infantry Units as well as Special Force Units were also sent into small towns near the Cyaanian border. The orders from Baseplate for the moment were to just stay put and protect the border, although Hart had the feeling that the Cyaanians were going to get nasty...

Hart was also very disappointed. He had been given word that he would be promoted to the rank of Captain after his long military career, but because of this war, he was going to be the one responsible for the deaths of 100 men. He shivered in the cold as he watched the Cyaanian troops on the other side of the border.

Entry 1
June 7, 2014

Lake house
Undisclosed Location, Zach America
June 7, 2014
1600 hours

Garrison stepped outside and onto the porch of the lake house. He wore Tan Khaki shorts and a white T-Shirt and aviators with a Milwaukee Bucks flat-brim hat keeping his hair matted down. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes to a cloudy, rainy day. He was in such a hurry to get out of the office, he forgot to look out the window and see the overcast day that this Saturday had to offer.

Garrison felt alone, Addy had left him after getting a job opportunity in The Ancient World where she would be working there year round and found that a long term relationship wouldn’t work. Garrison laughed when 3 days later he found that her relationship status on MyBook was “Single” for all of 24 hours before she was back to “In a relationship ”. Garrison had moved on quickly, but wasn’t ready to find someone else. Or was he?

A girl approached him. She wore her hair back in a ponytail on her head, it was a light blonde color. She wore a low, v-cut black shirt and tight black skinny jeans. She then wore black heels on her feet. Garrison was ready to fall over. Yep, he was over Ms. Jenkins.

“Mr. Garrison.” She began. She spoke in a deeper voice than most girls, but it definitely wasn’t masculine. “I’m Special Agent Star, transfer agent from the Ancient World United Agencies base in Trinity.I’ve been transfered into the Secret Service of Zach America and my duty will be working with you during this time. Our current situation is that ECDO is under threats of GCUT forces.”

Garrison listened but was mostly examining her. Her bright blue eyes were complemented by her hair. Her teeth were straight and polished white like a pearl. Garrison’s glance began to lower but once they reached her chest she finished.

“Ahh, yes, thank, you Ms. Star.” Garrison replied professionally but he could feel his cheeks burning up and Ms. Star returned with a slight blush and a smile. She then snapped out of it and looked back at Garrison with a straight face.

“The Director would like commands from you to prepare the capitol while you deal with the Military perspective of the current situation.” Star stated. Garrison began walking back into the lake house and Star followed.

“Alert the Director that the Zach American D.E.F.C.O.N has been upgraded to level 2 and everyone should be prepared for a rapid increase. I will be meeting with my fellow leaders to get this sorted out.” Garrison responded and walked into his office which also consisted of the qubicles of Agents Forge, Zachary, Lee, and Franklin.

“Forge, alert all U.A. Undercover Agents patrolling now of the current situation.” Garrison explained looking to Forge.

“Got it.” He replied and quickly began typing.

“X-Ray, brief all N-Strike and defense agencies of the situation and have them on high alert.” Garrison explained now looking at X-Ray. He nodded.

“Franklin and Lee work with Defense Minister Rodger Aaron of this base and prep a proper emergency plan. Star will work with me on preparing the area for our guests.” Everyone split, leaving Garrison and Star in the room. A message was sent to all E.D.C.O. leaders.

---IMPORTANT ALLIANCE-WIDE MESSAGE---
FROM: President Zachary D. Garrison of the United States of Zach America
MSG: Would like to organize an alliance meeting at my current location which has been sent to you via highly securitized message. Hope to see you ASAP.

Garrison looked up from his computer and saw Ms. Star on her phone as she pulled her hair out of her ponytail and let her hair flow. Garrison felt his jaw drop in his mind. She was even more gorgeous and attractive than before. She sat down at an empty desk next to his and kicked off her heels and set them aside under her desk. She ended her call then looked to Garrison.

“I gotta go, my boss needs me in the briefing room.” She said then stood. Just before she closed the door behind her, she said: “Oh, and its Jade, Jade Star for ya.” She gave a wink and before she could shut the door, Garrison got out.

“And Zach to you.”

Garrison sat in ecstasy as the name “Jade” replayed in his head. A smile across his face the whole time.

Two more fate-changing probes were sent out. One was heading to Planet Eden, and the other was heading straight towards Zach America. These two carried the exact same cargo as the first two, and together, all these probes would allow E.C.D.O. access to things never seen by human eyes.

Trinity, USAW
Earth

The first probe rocked into the atmosphere. It made a horrendous thundering sound, exciting the air particles around it with its incredible speed. The obsidian-like material encasing the probe was still shiny and unmelted despite the massive temperatures and pressure. Twelve miles above the Earth, the landing protocol began. Flaps opened up on the sides of the machine, slowing it down by quite a bit. The city of Trinity shone as a large gray circle below.

Imperial Palace, Surgi, Lyrasona

(Lyrasonan Cabinet is seated in the meeting room in the West Wing of the Imperial Palace, a guard walks in...)

"Sir! We have received a message from President Garrison of Zach America."

"Thank you Private Anderson, you may leave now." Said his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of Lyrasona and the Isles Tobias IV.

"Well councillors, it appears that Mr. Garrison wishes for the leader of Lyrasona, as well as the other members of ECDO to join him at a secret location." He continued.

"Well then, I should get ready to leave for Zach America your Majesty." Responded Chancellor Alexandra Hardnick, cousin to deposed President Filip Hardnick and former Admiral of the Lyrasonan Star Fleet. Also known as Emperor Tobias's greatest threat.

"No. It is quite alright Chancellor, I can handle this myself seeing as how I am your monarch." Tobias snapped back.

"As you say your majesty. Now shall we get back to talking about Project Crimson?" She inquired.

"Which one was that again? The moon base?" Asked Minister of the Interior Allison Wendel, the shortest reigning member of the inner Cabinet after her past dozen predecessors dies mysterious deaths.

"No Allison, that is Project Rouge." Responded Admiral of the Fleet, Samantha Vishnayeve.

"I thought Project Rouge was the ballistic missile?"
"No that was Project Blood."
"Then what was Project Cardinal?"
"That got renamed, it's Project Vermillion now."

"Ok! Everyone stop. That's enough with the Projects." Announced Tobias. "Why in Solocons name did we have to name them all after shades of red?" He whispered to himself."Back to Project Crimson, our friends have prepared and launched the necessary equipment to install the facility..."

(Jennifer Sturm, Anchor for WDIV News sitting behind her desk reading a news report on the Albanan radiation...)

"Well everyone, it appears that the radiation forecasts of and around the ruins of Albana was off by more than a few digits. It appears that the area around the destroyed city has in fact, become even more contaminated by radiation poisoning. The government has declared the area to be off limits to everyone, except Class-E Clearance. If anyone is caught inside the area they will be swiftly punished for trespassing on government property."

The City
the Administrative Capital, Earth

The City was bleak. It was a sprawling, intelligent metropolis, bustling with people, however it was quite monotone. There was no color in the sky, it was always overcast, the buildings were either a blackened obsidian color, or a bright, stark white and here and there was the occasional steely grey building.

The Administrator looked out from his post at the top of the Spire, a massive, stark white structure bristling with LED lights that pulsated upwards every night, giving off an aura of almost godlike power. He saw the blue lights of floating vehicles on the solar roadways, which lit up and directed people where to go, and looked up and saw the many aircraft flying to and from the metropolis. Tyhlo was satisfied, at least, for now. The Project that he had pursued for so long had fallen apart at the hands of alien races at the city of Polis, and then again at the isolated Seris Technology Laboratories, and was finally destroyed at the hands of a particular Solonian.

The Confederation, as it had been called, fell to pieces quickly after this failure, and the ex-Chancellor Tyhlo was forced to take shelter in the wasteland of Schonzia, the only remaining loyal province of the Confederation. After regathering and mustering his remaining forces, the Administrator had led a total onslaught on the rebellious provinces, and placed them directly under government control, and had restructured the national infrastructure by turning it into a "free dictatorship", where all citizens had rights and were able to do what they wished, but a new leader was never elected. The new government was dubbed the Administration, and Virynys Tyhlo had been named Administrator. Dvinglus was a name used merely to describe the former holdings on Earth, the entire national body was called the Administration.

Now, he had been contacted by the Solonian government about establishing a base of communications in the City. A transcommunication was sent back, agreeing to the proposition. He had but one question left to ask.

President Guyette was reading the message he had just received from Garrison. A meeting. Interesting. He quickly shot back a reply saying he'd be there.

Suddenly, a large roaring noise came from the sky. The President spun around to see a large bright object in the night sky.

It looks like...it's falling.

All over the city, people were screaming. Policemen started to evacuate the area where it appeared the object would land.

"Get out of the way! Keep back! KEEP THOSE IDIOTS BACK!"

The encrypted message told the leaders to come in everyday attire in everyday vehicles so no one in the area could recognize what was going on. When the cars pulled up to the gate a man smoking an e-cigarette, because smoking was frowned upon in the military, stepped up to the car and said the same word.

"Password?"

"Colonel Spielman," Talkholm said over comlink. "You'll be going in place of the Queen to Zach America while she negotiates surrender with the Darvalians."

Spielman felt groggy and tired, and was reluctant to answer, thinking he might think he was asleep.

"Of course, sir." Spielman answered. "I'll be on my way in six."

He gathered his stuff, and got in his personnel jet to fly to Zach America.

Hello, Darvale, and leaders of Darvale! My name is Grand Queen Rebecca Natascha Luft, and I really would like all this to blow over quickly. I'd like to let you people and your leaders know that if we acquire 600 square kilometers of land on the eastern border of Darvale, as well as six million of your people, we will retract our forces from your borders and everybody can go home happy and with their organs noticeably intact.

Thanks,

Trinity, USAW
Earth

A couple miles above the Earth, a large thruster activated at the bottom of the probe, fighting the force of gravity. Four more thrusters sprang up on four sides of the probe, stabilizing it. The thrusters were extremely powerful, and by the time the probe was one mile above the ground, it was gracefully gliding down slowly. The probe navigated away from the downtown area of the city, flying over the suburbs and finally setting down in a charred wheat field about a mile outside Trinity. Up close, the probe was huge, about the size of an office building.

Planet Eden, Lyrasona

Another probe thundered through the sky above the ruins of Eden. This one wasn't really a probe, however, because there were ten inhabitants within in stasis. It headed towards the remains of Eden...

Yet another probe careened through the atmosphere towards the planet.

A probe approached Earth, en route to The City.

[Darvale]

The Parliament House, Fairbanks, Darvale

King George IV, Queen Catherine III, the Cabinet, superior officials of the RKDAF (Royal Kingdom of Darvale Armed Forces), were all present in The National Parliament House, for the same reason. After a recent threat from the neighboring nation of Cyaania, the Parliament held an emergency vote on the issue.

Soon, 2 numbers appeared on the screen. The numbers 73 and 27 appeared both in white. A mixture of excitement and anxiety spread through the large room. Then, the numbers suddenly changed color. the 73 turned from white to green and the 27 changed from white to red. Everybody in the room knew what that meant. Darvale was going to war again.

King George IV knew what this meant. Sighing, he officially validated the vote and headed back to the Fairbanks Palace. He then sent 2 telegrams to different recipients. The first one was sent to Cyaania, the nation that threatened an invasion on the western border.

TO: CYAANIA
FROM: DARVALE
Dear Grand Queen of Cyaania Rebecca Natascha Luft,

We at Darvale are currently debating on this issue of a handover of land. We ask you to kindly give us a 
maximum of 48 hours to finish this debate, when we will inform you of our decision.

King George IV of the Royal Kingdom of Darvale

He knew it was bad to lie, especially with other nations, but this was an exception. Clicking on the "Send" button, he then proceeded to send the second message.

TO: United States of Spain, Drakokon, New Raffica, Kolbenavia, Preritas, Tharsk
FROM: Darvale

Esteemed nations,

It is with a sad pity in my heart that I must inform you of urgent news. As you probably already know, the Equatorial Central Defense Organization has taken their invasion plans to the next step. Earlier today, I received a telegram from the nation of Cyaania, who, as you know, is also in the ECDO. Cyaania has threatened to invade Darvalian territory, and may do the same to your nations. I suggest we hold a conference in the following location:
ENCRYPTED: 1238 Piston Avenue, Fairbanks, Darvale
Please come in casual clothes and vehicles, as to prevent anyone from learning of this meeting.

King George IV of the Royal Kingdom of Darvale

[Arstozcah]

[box]message to Cyaania

Due to Arstozcah's good trading relations with Darvale, kindly ask that you cease your operations that compromise this unless you are willing to offer better arrangements, if the answer to this question is no then sanctions will be put in place against your country, political figures and companies originating in Cyaania, if your aggressive actions continue then the Arstozcan military will be mobilised to help our mutual ally Darvale

Yours sincerely Alexander Olonicov [/box]

[box]message to Darvale

The Arstozcan people recognise the difficulty that you face but please do not surrender to the yoke of Cyaania, if they persist in their military actions the full might of the Arstozcan military will be brought to bear against them.

PS I am sending you a small 'gift' please accept its help.[/box]



Nico climbed half way up the ladder of the private jet then turned to look at Alexander "you sure you want me to go?" He had to shout to make himself heard

"Yes, your the only one I true enough with this task."

Nico nodded the climbed the rest of the way, the door swung shut behind him with the ladder pulled out of the way the aircraft began to taxi to the runway, within five minutes the plane was a small speck dwindling in the distance heading for Darvale. Alexander Olonicov turned and walked back to the waiting cat Rinika following him she was his acting body guard until Nico returned.

Garrison watched through the window on the top story of the building. A sniper was crouched and had his sniper perched on the window sill. He aimed in and Garrison could hear the identification system working through the scope.

"Lewayiin is here, I repeat, the Lewayiin Eagle is flying on our grounds, bring him in." The sniper said then returned his eye to the scope of the weapon. Garrison quickly flew downstairs and walked to the doorway where he greeted Randall.
"Welcome to my humble home." Garrison began. "Make yourself at home, I got beer in the fridge and I'll break out the real alcohol when everyone arrives. Of course, watch yourself there, this is still a professional meeting."

Which would arrive at the probe first? A huge conglomeration of City Guard, or a mad mob of citizens?

Eventually, the Guard won. A large barricade was put up around the probe as thousands of people watched and waited.

President Guyette, escorted to the scene, stood patiently looking at the probe.

All we do now is wait, I suppose, he thought.

[Drakokon]

the Tetrad, Drakokon



Drakokon's Defense Minister, Albin Krone, walks the halls in the Tetrad, Drakokon's state-of-the-art orbital defense Hub. He comes to a rather inconspicuous door on his right, and stops, sliding what looks like a credit card through a scanner. The door slides open, revealing a fairly large room, its walls covered completely by monitors of all shapes and sizes displaying images from within, and without (?) Drakokon. An officer, whose name is simply "Seven," comes to Krone's side. He speaks excitedly and quickly, saying, "Sir, we just received a message from King George of Darvale, sir. He is requesting the Czar's presence."

"Show me." Several other workers are yelling complicated information back and forth in the room, making everything hard to hear. Seven types something on a random keyboard, and a message in simple white letters appears on the monitors. Krone reads the message carefully, and finally says, "Get the Czar on the phone. Make arrangements to meet the King. And put all drones on high alert. This doesn't look good."

"Sir, all drones?" asks another worker, probably the one who runs the drones.

"Did I stutter? ALL drones." Seven and the drone operator nod, and quickly get to work.

"Pilot, how much longer till we arrive?" Asked his Imperial Majesty Tobias IV.

"Not much longer sire, should be in the next few minutes we will arrive and the dropship will take you down to the LZ." Responded the pilot, Captain Harry Westt.

Tobias walks back to his seat on the jet.

"All alone, I hate this part of being the Emperor." He thought to himself.

"Sir, we are over the LZ, you may enter the dropship now." Rang out the pilots voice over the intercom."

Tobias walked to the dropship, sat down and strapped into his seat and pressed the the autopilot button. He leaned back as the scenery flashed by and the ship landed.

"Now let's see what this is all about."

A large limousine pulled into the driveway for the meeting. However, President Guyette was not inside. A representative had taken his place, Foreign Affairs head Lonnie Gomes.

The chauffeur muttered the password under his breath and pulled into the lot and parked. Gomes exited the car and made his way towards the house, wondering what this meeting was really going to be about.

Garrison reached out his hand now for the hand of Randall, Guyette and Tobias.

"Gentlemen, a pleasure to see you. We have a lot to discuss. Please, take a seat, and we will begin soon." Garrison said but then was distracted by Agent Star walking down the hall way and he followed her into his office.
"What'cha got?" Garrison asked as he grabbed a beer off of his desk.
"Security is prepped and ready. Cyaania is nearing and no word from Guyette, Ramirez, or Solocon." Star explained while clicking at her computer. Garrison walked over and sat down on the desk.

"Hey, so I was thinking, maybe after this all goes on..." Garrison began but was shocked when he felt the instant pain of a smack, straight across the face.

"I don't care if your the f***ing President. Your a dumb a** for thinking you could come in here and plan on getting this." She said pointing to herself. She then looked up, thought a minute, then immediately began packing her bags.

"You know what? I'm out of this pigsty!" She exclaimed then walked out the door and slammed it shut just inches from Garrison's face. When he stepped out he couldn't think, he couldn't hear. Everything seemed weird, he felt broken. When he walked into the dining area medical personell swarmed him and that's when he felt his face and looked at his red hand. Star's nails were so long she had made a cat swipe across his face. He was rushed to the medical office before he could even get a word in.
