Dystopia Romana (Open, IC)

by **21st Century Rome** » Sat Mar 26, 2016 8:38 am

The year is 2042. The Roman Empire controls much of the world. However, the glory of Rome has largely faded as the Roman Imperator has cracked down on all resistance, as well as on ordinary people, turning the empire into a police state and slaughtering innocents to prevent resistance. Fortunately, some Roman nobles still have some integrity and have decided that the Imperator must fall. Unfortunately, in the Great Betrayal, one of the conspirators chickens out and gives the others up. Word is received of the betrayal and the nobles manage to flee before the guards reach them, carrying a number of items. Will you be the one to free Rome? Or will you be the one to maintain the empire?

Oh yeah, and by the way: the map? Planet Earth. The Imperator lives in the city of Rome, but you're free to go anywhere on Earth you want. (Use modern place names just for convenience)

Rules:
No godmodding or metagaming
Give players an opportunity to respond
Only control your characters. If you want a NPC, such as civilians from somewhere else in the Roman Empire to help you, post something related to it and I might make them help you.
If you get into a gunfight, I'll run the calculations for if someone is killed.
I'm OP, so my decisions are final.

OOC: Please put OOC in the OOC thread next time, but you can pick anywhere on Earth to start. :)
(Okay, not anywhere... Nobody can start in the Emperor's palace, but just about anywhere else)

She passed two other agents talking in low voices as she headed towards the underground Subway Station faster. SOmething was about to happen.Suddenly she heard a blast from the first layer.

Chechil Hrit stepped out of the Apache helicopter. His squadron of five moved out into the fresh air, and the ocean breeze hit his senses like a bullet to a head.

Via Lungomare, Lido Delle Nazioni. He stared at the people who were vigourously running in the opposite direction, and pulled out his gun. Alongside him stood Carl Voss, Simeon Hark, Lieul Felmen and Rudi Vartle. His team oppressed the landslide in front of them, and headed up towards the block of flats in which the Minister of Finance was said to be.

Hiding in the hills of France, Scott Raymus believed in keeping his enemies close. His squad of 5 men are all of the protection he needs. All skilled fighters, his squad is on a tactical reconnaissance mission to try and find a deep cover spy who is thought to be uncovered. As we approach the last known location of the spy they see a destroyed building with 2 guards posted in front of it. I turn and face my group, "Let me do the talking."

Jessie landed in Beijjing and got on another plane to San Fransisco. After that she got on a plane to New York. When she arrived she and her squad were to tired to do anything and collasped. The next day she met with her superiors in manhatten and she got her new orders, go to rome and hunt down rebels. But first she had to fly to paris. She arrived in paris and studied some reports on rebel activity. Senatores Populesque Romani!

After Ralph patiently waits in the outskirts of Bulgaria with his five men, he stumbles upon a distant camp and wonders if it is a threat, he sends one of his men to investigate later to be shot by one of the campers. Ralph sneaks upon the camp and slaughters all the men, after success, they looted the camp and got nothing more than an old key. As Ralph and his men moves slowly near Rome, they set camp 37 miles from the Roman Border, planning their next move while consuming 1 can of food and 1 bottle of water.

Scott approaches the guards, all set to sweet talk his way into some information when he notices the uniforms. Imperials. He panics, hides behind the building. Thinking fast, he throws a rock to his right distracting the guards. He then signals his men to open fire on the guards. They do so, killing them swiftly. Scott approaches the men and removes one of their uniforms, adding it to his disguise kit. He then switches into his Imperial disguise, motions to his men to wait outside. He moves inside the building, not sure what he will find.

At the first light of dawn, Ralph and the rest of his crew, (4 Men) packed up and moved nearer to the Roman Border, they planned their attack during the night and it would be tricky, but it could work. They marched, and marched, and marched, until they saw the top of the Roman Wall, soon to see the entire thing, of course, the gates where guarded by...Imperials! They planned to charge immediately, and so they did! A massive gunfight it was, but not knowing the odds of success.

Time to calculate those odds, O' Great Imperator!

by **Heidelski** » Sun Mar 27, 2016 6:03 am

Jessie heard on the news that there was an attack on Rome and immediatly flew to rome. She nd her ten men got in a vehicle nd drove to the wall to support in the attack. SHe knew the battle was over but she wanted to take some prisonors in order to get promoted.

After reaching the building, his team of five suppressed the entrances, and Chechil made his way up with his rifle in hand.

by **21st Century Rome** » Sun Mar 27, 2016 8:13 am

After the initial few volleys, long before Jessie arrived, 7 of the 10 guards were killed, and 3 members of the resistance were killed, leaving 2. Both sides had taken cover awaiting the other's move.
(I decided to give you an opportunity to call off the attack or try something else, if you wanted to. If not, I'll calculate the rest of the battle)

Albanus and his crew quickly reach the city of Roma, where the Emperors palace awaits. Once at the Emperor's Palace, Albanus fires his Gun Turret at any spotted Rebels.

Once inside the building Scott was confronted by a guard. He inquired as to why Scott was there and not out front. Thinking fast Scott replied with, "shift change." Simple but effective. The guard reached for his map with a timetable on it to confirm this and Scott knocked him out and stole the map. Reading it he discovered that there was a holding cell in the basement. Unfortunately he also noticed a torture chamber marked, he hoped he has not too late.

Making his way downstairs he noticed a radio room. Maybe he could access the Imperial frequency for this area, it would give him a tactical edge for any coming battles. He tuned his radio, adding the frequency to it. He would probably need a code breaker for the frequency to be of any use, but he was confident he could find one. He moved farther down the stairs, this time paying more attention to the rooms looking for a command room of sorts, the best place to find a code breaker.

Roma, Italy 10:30 P.M.

Octavius, walked through the halls at the age of 21, he wasn't yet able to take government occupation. However, he had what his peers called a good shot at the beginnings of the military. The moon, shined through the windows, the light bathing the desk he sat at. It'd been, what? Several weeks or so since the attempted coup in the Empire. He knew, these insurrectionists were nothing more than squalid rabble and decadent nobles, attempting to undermine Rome's security. Sighing, he leaned his head back, he was aiming for the rank of Legatus legionis. Although he knew his chances were slim, his small team of 10 associates, meant he had limited resources, seconded by the limited amount of supplies, he needed to do something to prove himself. However, first he needed information, he would pick up his phone, calling a contact in the area of Germanica near Berlin. I need information on any group in the area of the city. closing his phone, he would wait for anything streamed through, reading through a book, he studied the history of Rome and some of her greatest leaders and generals of the past.

Near by the palace, Albanus and his crew get out of the Car. Albanus takes out his radio and starts to speak into it.

"Is anyone near by? I repeat, Is anyone near by the Emperor's Palace?"

As he moves through the base, Scott notices a room larger than the others, with a large desk surrounded by monitors. It must be the control room. He moves inside, noticing that no one is in there. Strange. He moves to the desk and sits down, and goes to work. First he locates the code breaker for the radio and copies it onto a sheet of paper. The key word is Nero. Figures. Next he locates the spy, Cell Block E, number 236. Got it. As he moves down the hallway he thinks about several things, first, how its odd that he's only seen 3 people, second, why is this spy still alive, and third, why was the keyword so obvious. He thinks back to what he knew of Nero, of what he did. How he burned down part of Rome to make it better, and then it hits him. Why he has seen no one, why the spy was still alive, and why the keyword was Nero. It's a trap.

After defeating the Imperials by the gate, 2 of Ralph's men get wounded, they slowly enter Rome with their heads down but before they even enter the city, a man pulled Ralph towards him and his men quickly follow, the stranger slowly whispered, "I can help you get shelter for hiding from the Imperials, you can leave during sundown..." he said, Ralph was amazed with this but the stranger continued, "On one condition, I want a can of food and water" and since Ralph was desperate for cover, he agreed, the stranger took the payment and stuffed it in a ragged bag, he signaled Ralph and his men to follow him and led them down a subway tunnel that seemed abandoned. There they rested and started a little fire, they used 1 bottle of water to cleanse the wounds of Ralph's men and 1 can of food to eat and another bottle of water to drink, theh had 2 cans of food and 1 bottle of water left. When afternoon came, Ralph announced, "Everyone! This will be our last stand! We are hydrated, full, and our wounds are healing! Take an hour of rest before we leave later!" Ralph yelled, they laid on the cold floor and slept tightly...Then later, they were swiftly pulled up by strangers while Ralph saw one of the strangers giving money to the ragged man that offered them shelter, Ralph gasped and yelled, "TRAITOR! YOU HIDEOUS TRAITOR! YOU KNOW BETTER! LET'S SAVE THE WORLD TOGETHER! IMPERIALS ARE UNTRUSTED YOU SMUG HOBO!" as soon as he finished, the stranger giving money pulled out a gun, walked up to Ralph, and bashed him on the head!...Ralph finally wakes up later with the rest of his men in a cell, Imperials are the worst!

Captain Vladimor arrived at the wall and secured it. She nd her team patrolled the wall for severl hours and did not see any rebels. She eventually heard that a rebel had been captured nd went to go interogate him. In the looby of the prison, she learned some information about him. SHe went into the cell block with two guards and came up on the prisonors cell. "Okay..." she looked down at the paper "Ralph. Why did you this and what are you're means off of doing it?" She pulled out a thin knife and waited.
