2035. 20 years after a plague of unknown proportion spread rapidly across the world while killing billions. Nothing is left of the old world but memories.

China had been creating a series of projects but one, called WES-473-94 was their best product developed in May 2015. It was still unknown what the Chinese government was using the project for. After much dispute about the project now being called a “virus” by the government, China locked it away. What the Chinese government didn’t know was that a sample of the virus had infected a scientist.

This scientist or “Patient Zero” returned home to Beijing where his symptoms of WES-473-94 grew worse and worse. Little to the doctors that treated him, he was infected with something they had never seen. Patient Zero was sent to a local hospital where he then died. But he didn’t stay dead. When he was taken to the morgue, a nursed noticed that the bag moved and that the body bag wasn’t closed. When she went to close it, the man bit her. Thus, the spread of WES-473-94 began.

The hospital was overwhelmed by the infected individuals. Local law enforcement were called in but several of them were infected as well. The military was then called in as the virus began to spread through the streets of Beijing. The capital of China was then put under quarantine but news of what was happening in the city was kept from leaking out. In a last ditch effort, the government ordered a firebombing of the city. It was kept covered up as a terrorist attack. But Beijing was just the beginning of a world ending scenario.

Soldiers and civilians that were infected and fled Beijing help spread the disease around China. The virus spread to about 439,000,000 people in China by the 5th week of the incident and the death toll reaching 258,205,829. This epidemic then reached the ears of national governments, many of which prohibited travel in and out of China. Shanghai fell in a fiery ruin as the country became overrun with what was being called the “Wánglíng”, Chinese for “undead”.

By December, the infection was reported in nearby India in the city of Kolkata. It then ravaged the city with the Indian government putting blame on China. Little by little, India began to have a hard time controlling the virus due to its current state. India was then overwhelmed along with China. With the top 2 most populated countries falling to WES-473-94, a massive wave of chaos hit Asia. Soon Japan and Russia had reported the virus within their borders by February. After the fall of Moscow in late February, reports of the virus had appeared in every nation in the world including the United States.

By April, Africa and India were completely overrun with the undead outnumbering the living due to their poverty stricken conditions, China had completely collapsed and Tokyo was going under. The governments then took to control this virus. Extensive cure research was being done by the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Brazil among many others. An estimated 600,000,000 people had died by now with an even greater 800,000,000 infected worldwide. Martial law had been declared in 28 nations by June including the United States and Canada.

However, the United Nations had declared a worldwide state of emergency as mass panic swept the globe. Member nations began to pull out of the U.N. due to the spread of the virus, France and South Africa among them. Eventually, the U.N. disbanded when the United States and Russia left. Entire cities burned to the ground as the world entered a dark age.

Within weeks, the virus consumed the United States and within months, the world. Cities were incinerated by the military in an attempt to rid them of the undead. Washington D.C. and Philadelphia were purged in this matter. The infected numbers reached 1 billion by August and communications were lost from over 60 cities in the U.S. and over 300 worldwide. Europe fell pretty fast due to the population with Italy and Germany biting the dust. France had sent it’s military to fight in the North and South while Spain and Portugal hit it out in a joint strike on Lisbon. Canada and Mexico were overrun with infected refugees heading from the United States spreading their panic quicker.

By November of 2016, Australia, Poland, Japan and Argentina had fallen with several more countries following soon after. No one was counting on how many cities, towns and villages that were overrun. By 2017, national governments had fallen with the death toll at 3.5 billion. Nukes had been used by Russia, China and the United States to clear their cities of the undead only to leave some irradiated. The places free of infection would be areas of Scandinavia, Northern Canada, Iceland, Greenland, the Amazon in South America, Himalayas and much of Siberia. Now the old world is gone and many new governments rose up to replace the old.

Berlin, Brandenburg,
Federal Germanic Republic


The 53rd Jägerbataillon was once more on the hunt for zombies in Berlin. The city had been reclaimed and the zombies driven out, but even now, some still showed up. Thus on occasion, Jägerbataillons were sent in to clean up the area. The Jägerbataillons themselves had existed before the war as light infantry, but now they were converted into the core of the new Rapid Assault doctrine of the Federation Army.

"Huffman, Wagner, you two check the building on the left." Lieutenant Schwartz ordered

"Yes sir!" Wagner said back to the sergeant, he turned to Huffman "Let's go Max."

Huffman nodded and followed Wagner into the building. The two had gone through training together after being conscripted, most of the battalion had. Battalions were usually raised and disbanded wholesale, once the enlisted in the battalion completed service, the title of 153rd would be given to a new battalion with the officers a few of the privates (promoted to sergeants) taking over command.

Huffman and Wagner had become friends during training, despite being very different people. Josef Wagner was from a middle-class Bavarian family whose parents had been supporters of the CSU. Maximilian Huffman was a working class Saxon whose grandfather had been a loyal SED and later Die Linke member. However the two had become friends over shared interests.

Wagner sighed as checked another corner. "Probably not even any zombies in this place. I don't know why we have to check this entire place by ourselves."

Huffman gave him a little smirk. They both knew why this was the case, minimize the casualties, smaller groups were less likely to be heard. Wagner had become singled out as the complainer of the unit, Huffman was the workhorse, never complained and rarely spoke. This made a good team in the eyes of their superiors, Wagner certainly talked enough for the both of them. "We're almost done Jo."

Wagner began checking another corner "I suppose you are r-" he jerked his head back quickly and quietly cursed. He gestured for Huffman to approach.

The Saxon already knew what was happening without needing any verbal communication. He readied his silenced rifle and moved up to be beside Wagner. Wagner nodded and quickly crossed to the other side of the corner. He put up three fingers, three zombies. Huffman looked out and observed the three while Wagner called the lieutenant.

"Lieutenant Schwarz. This is Wagner."

"Yes private?"

"We have discovered three in the building."

"Very well, I am sending Sergeant Stein and the rest of your squad in to help."

"Understood, permission to engage the three?"

"Permission granted, but be weary, just because you see three does not mean more couldn't be around."

"Understood, Wagner out." He turned toward Huffman. "Ready?"

"Yes, I will take the two on the right."

"Roger, on three." He held up three fingers and slowly counted down. Three...two...one...

The two moved together and open fire. All three fell easily enough.

"Now we wait for Stein." Wagner commented as they looked at their handiwork.

London, New Great Britain


Out of its old world self, London almost looked like it was never firebombed or almost leveled by artillery, almost. Some of the skyscrapers are barely standing on their 20 year old supports that have never been replaced. Now small wood and stone cottages line the cracked streets as NGB soldiers or Troopers march by on their patrols. They say that the old world was full of life and luxuries, be barely survived the war. As far as we know it England is the old civilized place left, now we are called New Great Britain and with the government that it should have, a monarchy.

Emperor Frederick looked out upon the city, a massive concrete wall stretched around the the old city limits, with towers every so often. Then he looked toward the inside of the city, cottages where everywhere as well as some I the old modern housing and skyscrapers. Little specks of smoke lifted out of the chimneys as well out of the large factories that produced most of the city's manufactured needs. These factories turned out guns, ammunition, swords, armor, some tanks and light vehicles.


Canterbury, England

For the last three days the city of Canterbury has been shelled to eradicate the zombies within the city, and with efforts of drawing any zombies form the underground to the surface. Canterbury was surrounded by 2,000 Troopers, 12 prices of artillery and 6 leopard II tanks. So far the play has been working to some degree, the destruction of the city would links the use of Vehicles and heavy infantry. So now the 2nd Army waits to retake the city.

Germania
New Greater German Reich
Neupommern (Cuba)

In the dark, creepy, and bleak Reichstag building, the Fuhrer was speaking with a Parliament member until a soldier and troops of the Nationale Schutzkräfte, or NSK, arrived. "Mein Führer, we have protestors outside clamoring for free speech and democracy to be brought to the Reich." "Kill them all. Another massacre on the same day is no problem." "Very well, mein Führer."

The NSK troops went outside and gunned most of the protestors down while snipers shot and killed the ones who tried to escape. "How much people did we kill, Scharführer?" "I'd say we killed about nine, Beck." "I can't wait to murder those poor CSA bastards up north!" "I don't think people would want a war against them. The public might ignore our atrocities out of fear but a war would be bad for our public image."

"Fishing trawler"

"Kommandant, why do we have to be here? We haven't even learned anything from our weeks of surveillance, listening in on radios and phone tapping!" "We have to be here in case there's a nation up north we can trade with. Besides, if anything bad happens, we have a frigate on standby ready to support us."

Richmond, Virginia, CSA
"We the delegates of the new Commonwealth, sign today the Articles of Confederatorial Morality, in which will return law and order to the Commonwealth States. Justice. Life. Security. And Freedom will be forever assured in this document."

The people outside the Richmond capital building cheered with glee hearing the news. President Featherson watched from the podium as the Senators and the House Represenatives all nodded there approval. The Commonwealth Congress was a joke since the Commonwealths new Articles had just made President Featherson President for life, pending a 85% removal of office by national referendum. The Commonwealths militaries entire officer corp was all in attendence. Various military regiments were in town for the "Freedom Day" parade. Various supplies were also arriving as the city was full of life. The only ones not in attendence were the Fence Guards. The Fence Guards were standing in large prison-like watchtowers with large machine guns on them. When they were nearing design, someone had famously said, "We are going to jail to stay safe." 4 men manned the lookout terrors and the fence had a large 12 foot deep by 12 foot wide ditch infront of it except on the Freedom Gate where a bridge still connected the city to the land. But the bridge was liftable from the Richmonds side so the fortifications were good.

Stanford, Kentucky
A wagon train was rolling through the streets of the abandoned little small town. Windows were smashed. 3 military hummers were sitting in the road. Police cars turned over. Skeletons everywhere. The town had put up one hell of a fight. Buildings were burned out. Vehicles crashed into eachother to form a small barricade in places. Bullet casings laid everywhere but no guns. Lots of blood though. The head of the train held up his fist and the wagons stopped, "Check that pawn shop, check the pharmacy, an check the police station. I want another squad to empty every building checking for sup-." the man stopped as he looked up at the COurt House where a group of people were standing. He smiled. President Featherson was right, Kentucky had lasted in most places. The people came down seeing the White Horse, the symbol of the Commonwealths Riders. Horsemen were slowly flooding into the town as the trains had stopped. "Radio in to President Featherson, Sector 3 secured."

Virginia Military Institute (VMI)
A group of professors stood around a table turning nobs and adjusting wires, "President Featherson sir, we are live."

A radio brodcast scratched out to the eastern continental U.S:
"Hello. This is the voice of freedom. I am President Jake Featherson, President of the Commonwealth States of America. Ranging from Virginia to Texas. We are spreading out our lines and slowly rebuilding states we have taken control of. We have medicine and food. Society is rebuilding here. I am in Richmond, Virginia speaking to you through this radio brodcast. If you can hear me, respond immediatly. We have units avaible to come to you if you can hear us."

Featherson nodded and handed the mike over to his Deputy. Waiters were waiting in the next room to record all radio messages that would flood in from small groups, but the President wanted to know if he was the lone super-power left, or even just the last organised group. Was his nation alone?

Florida Coast
A few of the Coast Guards vessels had been able to get working, mostly the smaller vessels, 25-Foot Defender Class Boat (RB-HS/RB-S/RB-S II). 6 of them had spotted the nazi vessels and were heading out to find out who these people were and why were they so close.

New Washington City

President Hodgehen looked out side of the Oval Office, where him, and some of his cabinet members and Military Officials. Some of them were smoking on Cigars, while others drank Brandy, but Hodgehen did neither, he just stared outside the window, admiring how far the New United States has came, from a penniless, Zombie infested Republic, with it's Capital City in ruins, to a rich, powerful nation, with around 6 Zombie infested cities, which all were being dealt with at the moment, and then turned around.
"Gentlemen, it has come to my attention that we have not made any Allies in this new Harsh, world yet, I think it's a good idea to send a message to our Southern Neighbors, in Dixieland." Hodgehen said as he sat back down in his seat at the Presidential Desk.
The Military Officials and Cabinet Members looked at each other, and nodded and started to say it was a good idea, so President Hodgehen

From the Desk of the President of the New United States of America
To: the President of the C.S.A:
Greetings sir, or Madam, I, am President William Hodgehen, President of the New United States of America, your Northern Neighbor, whose Military prowess may be one of the greatest in the Americas, I, on behalf of the New United States and her people, propose an alliance of sorts, between our grand nations.

New York City, New York

A cheering crowd waits on the shore line of New York as the American Navy, along with with 13 Convoy ships, which hold 12,900 soldiers in total aboard, steam out of the harbor. As the ships leave, a Military band begin playing Columbia the Gem of the Ocean, to honor the soldiers who are leaving their Yankee Homeland, to retake the old island of Hawaii, which was part of the Old Union, and shall be part, of the new Union. As they steamed out of the harbor finally to Open Sea, Fireworks shot up into the air, in the formation of the New American Flag.

OoC: Zombies will be in the next post.

Northern Ireland
Jan 2035

A old jeep drove down the wall dirt road that was went over the old N. Ireland and Ireland border. It was snowing when the jeep passed over the border the light snow began to stick to the Troopers helmets, vests, fatigues and their guns as well as their jeep. Sergeant Willems and his squad where tasked with finding out what was happening in Dublin, some sort of strange signals where coming out of the city. Pvt. Rodgers looked at Willems

"Sir what the hell are doing out here I thought that Dublin was completely destroyed when the zeds attacked?" said Rodgers lifting up his visor, the snow started to attach it self to his bearded face.

"Me too, then orders form High command where sent to the Captian and they had reports of strange signals coming out of the city. So our Cap sent us" he said pointing to the four in the Jeep "To investigate the signals, its probably just some LMoEs stirring up trouble"

"Oh, ok"

Nova Scotia, Newman Colony

The sharp wind made the Imperial banner snap in the Newman Fort. The wind also brought some snow to the small Island of Nova Scotia, and Fort Newman and its colony where one of the more recent colonies to be established by the NGB in a effort to move people form England for more farming space.

[Mesrane]

"From the fury of the Northmen, deliver us, O Lord."

Kolobrzeg, Former Poland

The crew of the Blodige Frelser stood crowded at the railings, quiet and anxious as their ship swept through the waves towards the unsuspecting Poles of Kolobrzeg. The night was heavy with anticipation, but each man kept his thought to himself. They knew now was the most critical moment; when Captain Hrolf Steel-arm cut the ship's noisy engines and sent out a scout team to see if the Poles were actually ready for them this time.

"Alright Cap'n, dirty Poles are as unready as ever. Asleep, every last one 'o them. Your call, over."

Hrolf Steel-arm stepped away from the bridge's radio, softly patting the steel walls of his Blodige with a love he felt for no man. Before the days of the plague she had served as a Norwegian Coast Guard cutter, but he'd won her in a fantastic game of poker and the Danish captain had never let go of her since. She was ideal for raiding too, faster than conventional warships yet still graced with a 57mm Bofors cannon and NBC protection.

"Very well Arne, we'll move ahead with things." Hrolf bellowed back into the radio to his first mate, Arne Haakonsson, who always led the scouting team out first.

The hulking Danish captain stepped out of the bridge and began ringing a large bell hung from the side of the bridge. "Let's go boys! Time to slay us some Poles!"

The crew of the Blodige Frelser cheered as some ninety raiders jumped with glee into the inflated life rafts hung on the side of the ship. Soon they were rowing skilfully towards the Polish coast, concealed by the midnight darkness and their own grim silence. Across the waters, the men took up the grim battle prayer of the forefathers:

"Lo, there do I see my father. 'Lo, there do I see
My mother, and my sisters, and my brothers.
Lo, there do I see-
The line of my people-
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them.
In the halls of Valhalla...
Where the brave...
May live...
...Forever!"

Osvald Svendsen pulled his raft up the beach as his fellows jumped off and waded ashore one by one. A lieutenant with the Navy, he had been assigned to Captain Steel-Arm to ensure his crew didn't attempt anything incredibly stupid, especially where the Germans were involved. Kolobrzeg was entirely too close to the German border for his liking, but Hrolf had been quite adamant about going after a virgin target, or at least one that hadn't been touched in nearly fifteen years. As with standard raiding protocol, Svendsen was allowed to observe the proceedings and even participate in the raid if he wanted too, but he held no authority on the ship, so as not to create a conflict of command with the captain.

And, he thought as the Danes began rushing forward into the town, breaking into homes and shooting anyone who moved, To look after Prince Emmanuel.

He found the Belgian Prince in Exile mugging a fleeing family of its jewelry. "Thanks, friends!" The Belgian boomed in Danish, giving the wife a good squeeze on the buttocks. He staggered away, probably drunk and burdened with a box of family jewelry.

"Emmanuel! Prince Emmanuel!" Osvald screamed as he broke into a jog in an attempt to reach the prince. Dammit, is he too drunk to hear?

The Dane cursed as a fleeing teenager slammed into him, dead before he hit the ground. A raider had shot him through the heart as he tried to flee.

"Torsten! Torsten!" He yelled, using the prince's Norse name.

Emmanuel finally turned. "About damn time! I told you Osvald, I don't want to go by Emmanuel anymore. And don't call me prince either. I'm done with titles and I'm done with Belgium. I just want to sail the seas now, as Torsten."

Osvald gave him a pat on the back. He'd come to like the amiable prince during the month long expedition, culminating in this raid. "Your father and brother would say otherwise, Emmanuel. Now, come with me, I think we've started to gather a few prisoners by the docks."

The two men made their way back through the streets, passing numerous scenes of carnage and rapine. Fleeing Poles were gunned down as they tried to flee, families robbed of their valuables and often their daughters as well. Homes were smashed, torched, and left to burn as the tranquil life of Kolobrzeg morphed into a nightmare. An old man pleaded for his life as a raider stripped him of several choice rings. As they hurried by, a shot rang out, and the pleading ceased with an abrupt thud. Two more men had their way with a comely Polish woman in a back alley. She screamed and screamed, but her cries were of no use to her.

Throughout the town, sporadic gunfire was punctuated by the desperate screams of Kolobrzeg's inhabitants. They had been lazy in seeing to their settlement's defense, and this was the price which they paid. The Blodige Frelser had pulled alongside the quay, and raked the surrounding buildings with shots from its auto cannon.

Raiders began to return to the waterfront or the beach on which they had landed, placing their claimed loot in the rafts and tagging it with their names. Captain Steel-Arm was personally overseeing a dozen men as they poured lighter fluid into most of the waterfront buildings, disregarding whether those were inhabited or not. Soon tongues of orange flame flared up and began to lick at the insides of each building, already engulfing the ground floors.

Close to three dozen prisoners were tied and bound at the waterfront, all of them young and healthy looking. Osvald couldn't say if they were luckier then their dead fellows or not: They were destined to a life of slavery unless they bought their freedom, and the jarl they were sold too was a large factor in deciding if they would be reasonably well-fed or whipped to death within a month of their purchase.

"Alright lads, throw this lot in the hold!" Hrolf gestured to the thralls, and his men obeyed, dragging them aboard in ones and twos and throwing them belowdecks.

Osvald and Emmanuel were about to step aboard when the intermittent gunfire at the edge of town suddenly flared up into what seemed like a full fledged firefight.

Captain Steel-Arm's walkie-talkie buzzed to life. "Cap'n! We have a major horde at the edge of town! R-AAarrgh! Woden's beard! They just took Floki! They just took-." The gunfire faded at the same moment Arne's voice did.

Hrolf's bellow could be heard on the beaches as the Captain screamed with all his might. "Back to the Blodige! Now! Zeds on the edge of town!" The raiders dived back into their loot-filled rafts and paddled desperately to the safety of the ship. The undead began to trickle into the streets, ripping apart the few survivors the Danes had left in their wake. Some even attempted to board the ship as the crew pulled back the boarding ramp and opened up on anything that reached the quay. Osvald and Emmanuel helped to pull their comrades up from the rafts, each man loaded with all sorts of loot, ranging from newly found guns and ammunition to medical supplies to canned food. One man, Ragnvald, was pulled aboard with a swaddled infant. "He's going to be my sonnnnn!" He cried as the crowd swept him to the other side of the ship.

Finally, the Blodige Frelser pulled away from the town as the cannon ripped into the crowd of undead at the waterfront, killing dozens. The men let loose a hearty cheer. Apart from the final hiccup it had been a successful raid, and one that marked the end of their expedition and the start of their journey home. They'd lost six men, but every one of the dead was in Valhalla now, feasting with Woden and Thor. There was no shame in such a death.

"A sacrifice!" Someone shouted. "Let us thank the gods for our success!"

The crew roared in approval. A prisoner was dragged up from the hold, a young man who couldn't be more than twenty. "Please! Please no, I-Arrck-."

Whoops of delight went up from the crew as Hrolf stepped forward and shoved a combat knife into the man's abdomen. Pulling it out, he then slit the man's throat, ending his misery. A trio of crewmen tossed the corpse overboard.

"Odin, vi takker dig!"
"Odin, vi takker dig!"
"Odin, vi takker dig!"

Odin, we thank you!

The crew of the Blodige Frelser gave a final cheer as the ship sped them homewards. The might of the North had struck once more.

Dublin, Poppintree Checkpoint

A trio of camo-clad Norwegians nearly flew out of their seats when they saw the jeep coming down the road. They never got anyone down here, except the Irish and the dead. And the Irish came in guns blazing more than half the time.

The men grabbed their G36 rifles and quickly filed out of the small barracks. The union jack sewn into the uniforms of these new soldiers caught their attention. "Who the hell are you? Brits? Speak before we send you to the gods!"

As the Winfield Scott docked, and the Harpers Gift entered port, they saw the growing and thriving port of Boston, the first time any other peoples have seen Boston in 20 years

New Washington City

President Hodgehen was in the White House Library, when a Presidential Aide walked into the room, and began to speak.
"Mr.President, you have a letter" the Aide said in a Respectful voice to his commander-in-chief
"Thank you" Hodgehen said as the Aide bowed and left the room. Hodgehen proceeded to open the letter, he began to smile some what, and then got up, and walked to the Oval Office, and wrote a letter to the President of the C.S.A.

Des Moines, Iowa

15,250 American soldiers advance across an open field, toward a shambling horde of the undead, firing constantly into the undead masses with their Bolt Action Rifles, armed with bayonets. As the Horde shrinks, they begin to lob Grenades, further shrinking the horde, and as they meet the horde head to head, the zombies are in few to prevent the soldiers from entering the city. As the Surrounding areas of Des Moines come under Living control, Artillery fire from the surrounding plains destroy areas with infected in the Residential areas of the city, damaging buildings, vessels, and rodes alike. Over head, bombers constantly dropping Incendiary bombs into the Down-town portion of the city. As the Zombie ridden areas of the city burn, soldiers enter now burning sections of the city to cleanse them of the dead hordes. Adter 3 Days of Fighting, Des Moines is in Human control, once more.

The Captain walked off the gangplank followed by several Troopers* who had nothing but their swords . The Captain looked on either side of him taking in the the new city if Boston
"Damn it's twenty five years since I been here....alot has changed" said the Captain to the sergeant

"Yes sir it has" replied a sergeant

*The armor that the Troopers wear is made of thinner and lighter version of Kevlar, also the helmet is something like a knight helmet

Canterbury

After constant shelling the 2nd Army 3rd battalion charged into the city of Canterbury with their bayonets fixed on their G36Cs.

Off the coast of the FGR

Captain Konrad Frei of the EFS Sachsen-Anhalt stood on his bridge observing the operations of his men. All of the men were German, the European Federation Navy had integrated, but for the sake of ship cohesiveness most vessels were made up of men from the same linguistic group. Though that was beginning to change, his XO being French Commander Sylvestre Favager, was just one example of that. Favager was observing the operations of a German ship after years of serving on French vessels. Frei's German XO was serving on a Favager's old ship, the EFS Guépratte.
They will be a part of the new breed of captains, European captains. Frei though to himself.

Currently the ship was on the edge of the border with what used to be Poland. Raiders enjoyed raiding the defenseless Slavic and Baltic towns in the region and on occasion some full would drift into German territory to try his luck here. They were quickly dealt with. The Germans, Dutch, and French all had problems with these modern day vikings and offered no mercy to them, that was fine with Frei.

"Captain! unknown ship on the radar." Lieutenant Steffen Buckholtz reported. "If we hurry, we will be able to catch them."

"Very well, full course toward them."

The ship moved toward the location with a surprising speed for the world's largest frigate class.

"Visual confirmation, they are pirates."

"Good, fire a warning shot. Then tell them to stop and prepare to be boarded."

"Are they even in our waters?" one junior officer wondered aloud.

Favager responded to the man. "Our waters end where we say they end. We have the fire power to back that up. And it is the duty of all navies to stop pirates."

Frei nodded, "well said commander. And your German has improved by leaps and bounds."

"Thank you sir, I would not have been able to come this far without the help of your men." Favager responded with a slight smile on his lips.

The Sachsen-Anhalt fired shoots some kilometers short of the ship. The communications lieutenant followed up by speaking into his radio. First in German, then in English, then in French. "This is the EFS Sachsen-Anhalt of the European Federation. You are here by ordered to halt and prepare to be boarded for an inspection. These are Federation waters and failure to comply will be seen as a hostile action to this ship and the Federation as a whole. You have 30 seconds to comply."

Dublin

"Not good, I can tell you that. The Irish held some neighborhoods, but most of the city had fallen to the undead. We used fast attack craft and helicopters to draw the horde into the freed neighborhoods. The Irish fought them off and did most of the work for us, but they suffered horrible casualties. We just came in and swept away the pieces. Since then, they'll occasionally try to penetrate with raids or set off the occasional bomb, but no serious attempt to retake the city has been made. Not that they could anyway, with their nation fractured into independent settlements. This was about four years ago."

Off the coast of the FGR

Hrolf grumbled as the German radio message came in. "Damnable Germans. Can't they just let a man raid in peace?" He turned to Emmanuel. "Alright, have Floki signal in the affirmative. Use the foghorn and the searchlight. Also cut the engines. Quickly now!"

Emmanuel scrambled off to inform the Chief Engineer of Hrolf's order. Shortly after, Blodige Frelser's foghorn sounded a mournful blast, and the search lights swiveled to find the German ship in the night. They blinked on and off, three times. The ship's engines were promptly turned off, and the icebreaker ground to a halt.

In the unlikely event that the Germans in fact had other plans, Hrolf sent men belowdecks. They moved from cabin to cabin, informing all of the German's presence. Quickly the men grabbed their rifles, loaded them, and waited.

Dublin

"I see so the Irish are still up to their old tricks?" Said the Sergeant as they walked down the street "So what brings the Norwegians here?" He was quite curious why they would come all try way down here for a town that was mostly destroyed hen rebuild it. They seem to follow their old ancestral roots, Vikings, which was respectable a man needs to make a living in this world and explain why they used Gods.

Florida Coast

The crew of the spy ship was freaking out and would have called the Kriegsmarine frigate Manstein if it wasn't for the intervention of Captain Werner. "Men, what are you doing? We don't need a frigate for these boats, and why are you even thinking of taking them on anyway? They might not be hostile! Now stop freaking out and come to attention!" The soldiers stopped and continued their normal duties while the Captain and his XO went out to negotiate with the unknown party.

"Ja, Hallo! Wir sind mit dem Großdeutschen Reiches im Süden des Landes und derzeit tun Fischer Pflichten an dieser Küste! Wir wussten nicht, es gab Lands Nationen auf diesem allgemeinen Region!"

To: President of the New United States of America
From: President of the Commonwealth States of America
The Commonwealth is holding on tight. Our troops are some of the best I scene. Our best troops are clearing the cities and fighting a horde in Texas. We have almost cleared Virginia and Kentucky. And other places are pressing 75%. A pesky radical group is pushing for the capture of these infected being and an attempt at bringing them back. I prefer to just put them down myself. But the Commonwealth is holding on tight. For once I am suprised I'm saying this, we need more guns and ammo. OUr railroads are being repaired and new tracks laid. We are repairing Virginia first and concetraiting state by state.

Florida Coast
A thick tennessee accent came from the lead CSA vessel, "Ain't you speak american there fellur?" the voice shouted over. A machine gun on the front was manned but pointed upwards. The other Coast Guard ships were circling around and watching the command ship as it neared the spy ship.

Project Salvation
Contruction crews were repairing buildings. Painters were repaiting buildings in the capital. Road pavement crews were also working. A couple of cranes were over the Presidental Mansion lifting a column into place. Roads were being cleared of debree. Everything categorized and moved to appropiate places. Newspapers and books were all being placed in the library. Cars were being taken to the Walmart where they were being repaired. A tent-city was being constructed over the cars. Mechanics and people who knew how to work on cars who didnt have a job were helping fix cars. And cars that couldnt be repaired were being empited of all fluids and there parts sent to places they could help. Guns were being taken away, much to peoples anger at this. Fences were being erected around towns. Broken glass replaced. Hospitals were being repaired and readied for opening. Emergency vehicles were also being repaired. Medicine from pharmacy was being emptied and sent to the hospitals. Chemists at the Richmond University were working on recording medicines dosages and amounts so as they could begin to reproduce medicine. Everything was being written down.

The Virginia Military Institute grounds were also busy. Tow-trucks not busy in the capital or surrounding territory were pulling military vehicles to be repaired. Guns were being collected in the armory and placed i records for emergency use for the army. Much to the peoples anger at losing there guns. Train-tracks now connecting the Institute were also busy as trains delivered supplies and other items.
