USS Harry S. TrumanBoston, Commander Keegan Gilroy
Inside, calling himself Secretary of Foreign Affairs for the United States had Keegan disapproving but he did not show it. Instead, he pulled out a slip from his pocket. Just a few notes he had jotted down to help him remember. "These are terms of peace. Brought forth by the powers that be." He introduced.
"Boston and it's military forces both naval, ground and air shall surrender to the United States." To start off, it seemed quite harsh.
"As per terms of your surrender, the United States demands and offers the following terms. First, all military personnel under your command shall be disbanded then given full pardon for their crimes of mutiny and treason. Including Captain Ryan Scholl." Keegan rattled off.
"All disbanded troops shall be given the opportunity to be reinstated with their former positions, commendations and ranks as members of the United States armed forces on a volunteer basis. The carrier group of the USS Harry S. Truman shall be set to mission defending the Boston area and the United States indefinitely...." Keegan adjusted his glasses. "...under the command of Captain Ryan Scholl and his subsequent successors to be appointed by the Governor of the new reorganized district of Boston."
"Ed Markey and his subsequent successors, provided they are democratically elected, shall be made Governor of Boston under the United States. The government of Boston shall be given jurisdiction in all matters of local government that was granted to the states by the Constitution."
"Captain Ryan Scholl and his appointed successors shall be given command of the USS Harry S. Truman carrier group with indefinite standing orders to defend the Boston district and ensure its well being. A naval attache from fleet command shall oversea all military operations ensuring their alignment with United States policy. This includes powers to relieve the CO of command should there be any deviation from, violation, incompetence, negligence or reckleckness in the carrying out of his or her duties. At this time the attache to be appointed is Commander Keegan Gilroy who will remain in that position indefinitely."
He folded up the paper and put it away. "We can discuss the other alternative too. But I doubt you'll like it."

"While we in Canada are glad that America has taken this step in reuniting its great nation, we have made contact with another safe zone on Prince Edward Island, and will be continuing there to re-establish the Canadian Nation. We wish the United States the best of luck in re-uniting its nation, and will maintain contact with it via long range radio. I am sending the mayor of Halifax back in a Frigate, which is not to be commandeered by the US, and he will act as Ambassador to the United States of America. The Frigate, the RCNS Halifax, will leave the United States EEZ immediately after."

Scholl nodded and led Keegan back up the superstructure. The commander went straight for the bridge. He was told of the frigate entering their waters and radioed to the destroyers to go to yellow alert while the rest of the fleet remained on standby.
"Keegan is probably anxious about this ship. Let's try to satisfy him. Open a channel with the mayor."
"Aye, sir."
Speaking to the frigate, he said, "This is the USS Harry S. Truman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. We order you to come to a full stop and wait for a rib boat to come out and receive your mayor. You shall then leave immediately for your own safe zone. Any funny business and I'm afraid I'll have to regard your vessel as a hostile."
He licked his lips, hoping to add some friendliness to the message. "I wish your people prosperity in wherever they find their home. Captain Scholl, United States Navy, out."
A rib boat scooted away from the missile cruiser and snatched up the Canadian ambassador, taking him directly into the city. He would be escorted to the state house where he could meet the President.
"We will exit the United States EEZ as soon as possible. And for the future, don't get your panties in a knot. We aren't going to attack. Please treat the ambassador with kindness, if you will."

"Since your fiasco yesterday, Alpha has ordered an hourly patrol with two aircraft. Otherwise, we keep most of our birds grounded."
Hearing the other question, he responded, "I am neither at liberty nor desire to share any information about our ground forces. Alpha's orders."
He watched as Keegan examined the room. The staff looked up occasionally, shooting dirty looks at the commander but keeping largely to their jobs.
"If you want to talk ground forces you'll need to speak with Lieutenant Otis Reach. He commands our city guard."
Sergeant Major Emilia Iago || Ohio FOB = Alpha Hotel || Day 31
Smiling, she asked Desmond, "Just three questions: what is Chicago's status, what is the Evanston settlement like, and do you want to stay here with me and my boys or do you want to follow the navy back to Boston?"

The Canadian mayor--now ambassador--was clearly upset about his treatment. The President wore genuine chagrin on his face.
"I do apologize, sir. We are under surveillance by a particularly aggressive submarine commander, and it seemed best to act aggressively to avoid letting him take the reins. Trust me, if we had let you just come in, he would be shooting missiles into your frigate."
He continued in a more cheerful tone, "But now that you are on land, I'm sure things will work more smoothly. I am President Ed Markey, and I'd like to do whatever I can to build an alliance with your northern colony."
Sgnt. Major Emilia Iago || Ohio FOB = Alpha Hotel || Day 31
Emilia was more than satisfied with Desmond's report. She gave him a friendly hug and said, "Welcome back, marine."
Breaking away, she finalized the transport to Boston. The Chinook was refueled and the navy men loaded in. Desmond, Emilia, and a couple other marines watched as the helicopter quickly disappeared into the golden morning sun.
"I'm sure I can find you something to do, Staff Sergeant. We'll probably go on a mission soon. But for now you can relax and familiarize yourself with the group."
Lauren Clark || Interstate 90, Massachusetts || Day 31
"Dammit. A herd up ahead."
Lauren brought the car to a crawl and turned around, finding an exit ramp and trying to make her way around the sea of infected. She watched as one infected roared at another and tore its arm off, slobbering as it sunk its teeth into the infected flesh. They're starving. Soon it might just be us and the reavers.
She drove over a crawler and felt her stomach lurch. Sickened, she quickly found an onramp and got back onto the interstate. She looked around the car to see Lamar carefully examining the map while Rebecca and Hugh slept. Rebecca had taken the night shift, so her exhaustion was understandable. But Hugh had slept alongside her. Perhaps something was picking his mind...

Boston, Massachusetts:
The Ambassador relaxed a bit. "Well, I'm sure you had your reasons. Now, if it's not to much of a bother, I'd say setting up diplomatic relations is a top priority, considering how close America and Canada were before the infection. But honestly, i think your new friends might have ruined that close relationship. Downgraded it to basically neutral relations".
Prince Edward Island, Canada, 12 hours later:
"Roger that, Atlantic Fleet. You have been granted permission to anchor off Charlottetown."
With the confirmation from the New Canadian Republic, the Atlantic Fleet anchored off the coast of Charlottetown, and the 7,000 refugees from Nova Scotia began to unload into Charlottetown. Admiral Felson traveled to Charlottetown to begin negotiations with the New Canadian Republic to possibly form a Second Canadian Union.

Scholl's ability to properly react the presentation of a new threat pleased Keegan. Cleareing his throat to get the Captain's attention, he explained "I hope Governor Markey is aware that any agreement he makes with the Canadian ambassador is null and void. The sovereignty of Boston has been reduced to the powers of a state in the United States. Under Article 10 of the Constitution, no state has the power to enter into a treaty with a foreign nation."
"Not to worry. I'll contact the federal government and have them send a diplomat?"

"Again, I apologize for your treatment. The United States wishes to remain close allies. I cannot speak for the Remnants who we have surrendered to, but I hope that the Boston government and the Canadian government can rebuild ties. After all, we have a common enemy that doesn't negotiate."
Secretary Hamilton walked in, carrying his typewriter. "You wanted me to bring this, Mr. President?"
"Yes, Atticus. Please sit with us."
Hamilton pulled a chair from across the room and sat at the left side of the desk, between the Canadian ambassador and Alpha. He set down his typewriter and loaded a fresh roll of paper.
"So, Mr. Ambassador, how would you like to refresh our relationship in this brave new world of so few people?"
"People of Canada and the United States. If you can hear this message, head towards New Brunswick and Maine. The Second Canadian Union will bring peace, order, and justice to the wasteland. Come to us, and you will finally find peace."
