The establishment Teri led them to was a nondescript building-the better to help blur it's image in the eyes of anyone asked to describe it for law enforcement. When they walked in, the music was on full blast, with the racket of conversation a dim buzz underneath the pounding. The place was set up ...
Danarum Gregovich looked ecstatic. "This is excellent news, comrade!" He pumped the man's hand. "You are to be congratulated and rewarded for your service. When your new recruits are read for battle, the offensive begins!" Outside Cypriacium General Jones nodded. "If you ne...
Teri thought for a bit. "There's a nice bar on Hellen Street," she said. "Little family place, not too shady and nice people there. Some friends of mine are probably there. Or," she thought. "if you're tired of bars, there's some dance clubs in that same area. And there's so...
General Jones nodded. "So you've got a reinforced battalion, by Parinan standards. Good, the men will be useful." Jones gestured to the map again. "Most of what you have suggested is already in place. There is little media in Parina anyway-we have some newspapers and radios, but not m...
OOC-Sorry for the wait, I was gone most of the weekend without internet access IC-Teri lauhged. "Sorry, I don't think you're my size." She looked through her bag, made sure she had everything, and nodded. "Yes, we shall." They walked out onto the street, now a bit more crowded wi...
After about ten minutes the door opened and Teri stepped out wearing a piece of the latest fashion, a mini-dress designed like a Roman toga which swirled about her slender legs. It was a golden orange color, which nicely complimented her ebony hair. "How do I look?" She turned around, show...
"I'm guessing you're used to more spartan conditions?" Teri asked him as they walked into the elevator. She pressed the number 7, and the car began to rise through the building. "Most of the apartments don't look like this," she explained. "This area is mostly upper class, m...
Teri got up. Her suit had ridden up a bit, giving Honorius a nice view of her rear end for a bit, until Teri pulled the material down to it's normal position. "Come along," she told him. "It's not too far." The apartment was only a block away, and unlike the proverbial urban apar...
The man in the general's uniform returned the bow. "Pleasure to meet you. I am General Andrew Jones, commander of the Army of Cypria. King James is most pleased that other nations are realizing the threat socialism poses to our nation. Please, follow me." He started walking towards a clust...
Teri blushed as she realized she was still in her bikini. "Oh, yes...I should change," she said. "I have an apartment, not far from here. It's where I stay when I'm down here." James, meanwhile, took a look at his watch. "Damn," he muttered. Then he looked up. "Wel...
Danarum Gregorvich returned the handshake. "Excellent! Every soldier you recruit is a victory for the workers! I'll see you back here when you return." Outside, the loyalists continued their assault, but with reduced enthusiasm. Shells still rained down on the city and aircraft strafed th...
The First Comrade extended a hand. "First Comrade Alexsi Gregorvich, appointed leader of the Worker’s Republic of Parina. The mechanics will be welcomed-most of our planes that are still flying are doing so on a whim. By all means, Captain Jäger, go on your recruiting drive. Perhaps some of you...
James laughed. "Oh yes, it's fun of brothels and strip clubs and the like. But there are some respectable bars down there, they tend to congregate. It's not just a den of sin."
Teri smiled. "That sounds nice, Honorius. I would be glad to join you."
Teri shook her head. "Nope, nothing." She took a sip of the drink as the barkeep placed it in front of her. James frowned. "Sadly, I have to leave soon-I have something I have to get to. As for the nightlife, plenty of fun to be had down in the red light district-that's where most of ...
The man returned the handshake, but was obviously impatient. “A group of dockworkers will help you unload,” he said. “Please, follow me.” Gregorvich’s headquarters was in a large warehouse, identical to the hundreds of other warehouses in the dockyards. This was primarily to fool loyalists planes an...
The small Parinan Royal Navy was too thinly spread on coastal patrols, as well as anti-smuggling duties, to enforce any really effective blockade on the socialist bastions. The Prutenians would find the short trip into Danarum an easy voyage, without any loyalist interference. When word of the volun...
Teri nodded. "Another drink? One would almost think you were trying to get me drunk," she smiled to show she wasn't serious, then nodded. "Another drink, then we should leave. It'll be dark soon."
The mechanical leader looked Dazz over. "You seem good enough," he appraised him. "No papers or anything, just follow me and the others." After a good-sized group had been assembled, the men were told to get into a pair of waiting trucks, which would drive them to their job. The ...
Parina-1955 Over the City of Danarum Flight Leader Jacob Anderson, call sign “Charlie 1,” banked his A-42 Vulture attack plane to the right, watching through the canopy as the two other planes in Charlie Flight followed his lead. “OK Charlie Flight, let’s make this nice and easy,” he spoke into the...
James raised his scotch to the toast and drank, feeling the liquid fire burn down his throat. "Ah," he breathed. "That's good stuff." He saw Honorius checking Teri out, and grinned. Teri smiled at the compliment. "Thank you, Honorius. My dad owns a shipping company, so - don...
