An alignment of the non-aligned!?

The Amsterdam Entente seeks to be an ‘organisation free from being dominated by ideology where member states only seek to mutually improve themselves via friendly co-operation’, says Crown Prince.

It may only currently consist of two nations - ourselves and the Dutch - but make no mistake, the Amsterdam Entente seeks to be a new kid on the block and be an equal to the existing organisations of the Congrès de Vienna and the Freedom Defence Coalition. It sits somewhere in between the two - not openly opposing either of them. Thus we may be able to expect the continued relative neutrality of our state.

Reportedly, the 17 year old Crown Prince met with the newly coronated Empress Anna-Charlotte in the Dutch Capital of Amsterdam, with the aim of forging closer ties with the nation, now no longer a part of the FDC as a result of the declaration of the Entente. Both Royals sought to establish a third worldwide bloc that was entirely separate from the two that have so dominated global politics for decades and contributed towards ever higher tensions around the planet.

The Dutch had allegedly been looking to distance themselves from the FDC anyway, after the Provite and Atmoran betrayal of the country's naval forces not too long ago, and were concerned with what they called ‘disturbing tendencies’, according to the testimony of one anonymous member of the Dutch parliament. It is widely believed that Empress Anna Charlotte also had personal reasons for distancing the country away from the organisation that purportedly defends freedom, after her ordeal in the Royally United Provinces.

It is believed that now this bastion of neutrality and reasonable, amicable diplomacy has been formed, several countries will begin to wish to have involvement in this relatively informal alliance. If this hopeful prediction did indeed play out, the Amsterdam Entente (named for the city it was signed and formed in) could very well indeed be considered a legitimate contender to the current hierarchies of coalitions, but only time shall tell.

What we can definitely know and be sure of as of this very moment is that these close ties between us and the Dutch can do nothing but good, and for more than just the economy. Perhaps we can hope that this sets an example ; so that the world is no longer divided by hate.

More as we have it.

Last night North Timerian special forces conducted a raid in Zinder,Niger to eliminate a chemical weapons plant & to kill wanted terrorist Oluwatomiwa Ademola. The forces were deployed from the NTS Veronica off the coast of West Africa. The government did not state which forces were involved but they did confirm multiple special forces units were involved.

The forces attacked a small compound away from major residential areas. The compound’s main target was the underground structure. They have confirmed that they were producing Sarin gas and has reached a production level. It is still unclear if any was distributed but the military is currently processing Intel found on site.

The intel community used multiple sources to find this plant and Ademola was found in the spider web of data. The TSA confirmed that they knew about the source a few weeks ago but decided to hold off on a raid after gaining Intel that their department head (Oluwatomiwa Ademola) would be there in a few weeks. Ademola is a chemist and has a PhD in Chemical Engineering. Ademola was added to the terrorist kill/capture list in 2035 after the chemical attacks at Peter & North Side Subway Station.

The special forces unit were deployed and breached the compound. Once in they eliminated Ademola and the forces moved below ground. They encountered a large number of combatants who were all eliminated. The gas was confirmed and Intel was collected. The size of the plant was too large for conventional explosives and DoD wanted the site completely eliminated. Ademola’s body was secured and the team was picked up by VTOLs. A kinetic strike was called in that destroyed the compound and underground facility. No civilians were injured in the raid.

Following an intense election campaign between the former president, Ferdinand Diego and now acting President Tómas Amandes. The third candidate lost out quickly in the beginning, and so many expected that Amandes would lose and Diego would serve another term, but at the last moment, Amandes won by 7,250 votes.

Don Tómas Amandes was elected yesterday and arrived at the Casa de Justica today for his Inaugaration. Prime Minister Danté Pantellria and King Carlos II both arrived and with Cardinal Fontelezza they swore in the Second President of the Royal Republics of Espana.

With new change in the Presidencial Administration, and one that is more politically allied with the Pantellria Adminstration, it is expected that things will run much smoother. Pantellria and Amandes both enjoyed a quite meeting and sat next to each other in the President's limousine during a following parade.

First Lady Monica Amandes and Señorita Ena Pantellria rode together behind their husbands in a second car. The Señorita and First Lady, 57 and 48 respectively waved to the crowd as the people celebrated.

[Rhine-East Berlin]

Berlin Times
Berlin, Rhine-East Berlin
January 30, 2060

Sorrow grips the nation, the entire world as it was announced that Taylor III, Kaiser of Rhine-East Berlin, the Prussian Emperor, has died.

The Kaiser was only 34 years old.

The Kaiser, having taking the throne in 2052 following his father's abdication, ruled for only 7 years, 7 months and 2 days. He was diagnosed with Organiuis Pretiussi-Gangrette, a rare disease that causes the break down of organs and slowly shuts off the normal functions of the body. The rare disease is strange and hard to study. However it is believed it may be hereditary as the last person reported to suffer from it was Taylor's half- uncle Sigimund in 1997 in Rumania. The last reported person in Rhine-East Berlin to have the disease was in 1890.

-Last Days of the Kaiser-

Kaiser Taylor III walked with his beloved Paul into the Centre Palace in Berlin. He was dressed in his usual black uniform, though today Paul was dressed in as implied white dress shirt, slacks and a gray vest and ascot. They were returning from staying in Amsterdam after Anna Charlotte, Empress of the Dutch's coronation. A day after the coronation, Taylor's parents, the Prince and Princess of Anhalt-Dessau had returned to their country estate, despite their protests of wishing to stay be their son's side. They all knew he was dying. On the public and the children did not know that he was dying.

Taylor coughed into his arm as Paul helped him up the stairs. This was ridiculous in Taylor's opinion, he was only 34 years old and he was treated as if he were his own grandfather. He was forced to carry a cane, and the were small tufts of gray hair on his head. Luckily what was killing him was not something revolting. They had coined it the Mercy Disease, as while it killed you, besides a few small symptoms, you were relatively cosmetically changed. And yes, it killed you slowly, but also gently. Eventually his brain would shut down, but it would be peaceful. But the damn coughing was so much.

The two entered into the palace and five members of the staff rushed forward, three maids, the driver and the Head Butler. Over the last seven years, they had all ground an air of respect for each other. Taylor, unlike his father and grandfather had been more open and humble during his reign. It seemed with each generation the Kaisers grew gentler and kinder. This is why now they feared what would happen if, once the Kaiser died. His son was too young to rule. If only Taylor could hold out until 1870, another ten years is all they would need. But it had only been eight months since he had developed Mercy Disease and now he was at death's door.

It was all terribly unfair. Taylor should have ruled decades. He had been young and strong, his parents were still alive and healthy and they were in their seventies. Other monarchs across Europe and the world were still very much alive and many of them much older than Taylor III, Christopher was 67, Elizabeth was 65, Adela was 73 and Oscar III was 83, even the former Emperor Francis II was alive and he was 66. Taylor had only just turned 34. He was too young to have to die.

But it appeared Fate did not care about such things and so that was that. Taylor III himself, unlike the people frantically worrying about him, was at peace with knowing that he was going to die. He had lived his life, he had done great things, he had changed the nation from conversation to liberal, he had stirred the CDV away Dom wars with the FDC. He had ended the homophobic ways of his people, started a family and loved his close ones.

Taylor: "Please, please, do not worry about me."

He ended coughing and forced a weak smile, shooing away the servants. He could tell they were nervous, afraid he might drop dead at any moment and then what would they do? But he did not want that. He didn't want people to be distraught over him. The staff nodded and stepped back, now as they did. Paul, Taylor's beloved Paul, who was his angel, gave a chuckle.

Paul: "Taylor, that is there job, to worry about you. Even if it wasn't, who could not worry about you?"

The King Regent of Poland was attempting to be light hearted, but Taylor could see the sadness enveloping him. It was in those beautiful blue eyes of his. Oh how things changed. Why did they have to change? He still remembered the days he had spent with Paul in what seemed so long ago. Eating bagels in the USC. Attending Auxerre Academy in Derita. Rescuing Paul's sisters in Manchuria. It had been a time when everything was endless. And now here they stood at the edge of the pit, looking out, knowing that Taylor would have to step forward and disappear. Forever.

Taylor, who was taller than Paul, straighten himself up with his cane and kissed Paul's cheek. He wouldn't dare kiss him on the mouth, he was terribly afraid and embarrassed he might cough. Paul of course blushed, his pale porcelain like skin turning bright red. The entire room seem to brighten and even the staff smiled politely.Taylor loved moments like these. They took away the the darkness for a little while and brought back happiness. That is what his reign was suppose to represent. Happiness. The days when everything had been perfect. Days on Christmas Balls were Taylor would dance with Paul and his mother would clap in delight from her chair. Days on Coronation Day when everyone would get a holiday and have parties, parades and such.

Those were the type of days that Taylor missed. It had all been doom and gloom since May of last year. May 18 2059. That had perhaps been the best of all. Everyone had gotten along. Auguste and Sophie had chatted outside while the little ones, all of them, Wilhelm, Charles, Alexandria, Louise, Frederica and Louis had played while Michelle and Jean-Christopher and Frederich competed to entertain their grandparents, the visiting Queen Adela and Prince Luitpold, as well as the Prince and Princess of Anhalt-Dessau. Paul had worked on his gardens and on his boat, the Teadore III while the Prussian Royal Court had had a picnic and tea. Taylor had loved. Everyone had been happy.

But then the next day had come. The grandparents and Sophie left. Auguste went back to being jealous of Paul. Paul avoided everyone save Taylor. Frederich got a splinter, the Royal Court dispersed, the skies grew stormy. Taylor went to ride his horse, Alexander. And then there had been a flash of midday lightening, the horse was scared, Taylor was thrown into the mud and pond head first.

It had been terrifying, he would have likely suffocated had Paul and his cousin the Duke of Hzerilgon-Saagield-Dressiuberg had not showed up and pulled him out of the water. That day, the stress had snapped him, triggering the Mercy Disease.

Suddenly Taylor stumbled and nearly fell forward, the young Kaiser's cane slipping out of his hand and clattering against the floor as it rolled away. Taylor would have hit the ground had it not been for Paul. The younger and of course healthier man caught Taylor and held him up. While Paul had never been as strong as Taylor, he was able to keep his boyfriend from falling. The butler and one of the maids, now no longer smiling rushed forward concerned and helped Taylor back to his standing position.

And just like that, the darkness of the disease swallowed the world once again. He felt embarrassed that he could not even walk properly without everyone fear he may fall and die. Damnit, he knew he was going to die, was that not enough!

Paul handed Taylor his cane they continued inside, retiring to his bedroom chambers to rest. Taylor changed from his cloths and landed down his head, Paul stating by his side.

---

Meanwhile, in Potsdam, Auguste of Prussia, the very much respected and feared mighty Empress of Prussia was bored entertaining nobles. She was sitting at the head of the banquet table as the nobles of the Prussian Empire chatted away, though she paid no attention. She was too busy thinking of her husband and children. Taylor was dying. How could it be? It wasn't bloody fair. It wasn't bloody fair! She cared not if he love now, well that was a lie, she did care, but she still nonetheless wanted to at least have him alive. If not for herself, than at the very least for the children, or for Paul! Or for anyone, anything at all as long as he was alive! She could not stand it! Oh how it exasperated her.

Auguste of Prussia was infamous and famous. Hated and beloved. Cruel and kind. She was many things. But for once all her emotions were aligned into one. Sadness and fear. What would she do with Taylor? Taylor was her everything, either he knew it or not. She would be alone and adrift without him. She had been divorced once, but had quickly remarried. Sure she had her children, but they were not proper company. Her oldest with Taylor was Frederich who was only 7. Her oldest son of course was Prince George, but she knew that she could stay with him, he had s wife, Augusta of Modena and would not like to live with his poor mother. Not to mention the fact that she was not exactly allowed back in Great Hyruke and Londres.

Auguste, beautiful and charming Auguste sat at the head of the table, silent and her eyes empty as the first drop of sadness over took her. Tears behind to fall silently down the side of her face. For a while, no one seem to notice the fact that the Empress was crying right before them, but once they did, everything went silent. The nobles stopped talking, the servants stopped serving, the musicians stopped. Everything.

"Is something wrong your majesty?"

The Empress was thrown out of her sadness and looked to find the voice who had said that. She could find. She could do anything it seemed! The littlest things such as this drove her insane. The empress abruptly stood up, her chair stretching out in protest against the floor and she walked out, leaving the Royal court in silence and them confused.

They knew not what it was, but something was wrong with the Royal Family.
----

The former Kaiser and Kaiserin, Prince Edward and Princess Christina of Anhalt-Dessau rose the train from Dessau towards Berlin. It had been showing in Dessau and they were dressed ever so finely. They wore shades of white and gray, both with green sashes across their chests and fur coats around them. The 69 year old Prince and the 71 year old Princess walked along the train to get back from the dining car to their suites.

Prince Edward, though still often referred to as the Old Kaiser, walked behind his wife, despite her being older, she was far more fit and active than he. She sighed as they reached the suite that was theirs. Christina, the former Queen of Prussia was perhaps the strongest family member in the Brandenburg Dynasty. She was the matriarch second only to Grandmother Effie.

The two sat down in their seats and Christina looked out the window as the snow covered landscape of boring old Deassau fell away into the empty countryside as they rushed towards Berlin. Silence was so loud it seemed in the room. The Deritain-Prussian Trains of the Réev-Halts Train Co. were a mix of Deritain pleasure and Prussian effectiveness. They were fast, but not too fast as to ruin the journey. They had been refuted over years to the point were they were quiet from the outside and silent on the inside. Usually conversation would fill the room but today it was too cold. Their son was dying.

Christina looked from the window to her husband and smiled.

"I remember... When Taylor had been so little."

"Yes, he had been a handsome little boy."

"Just like his father. Like you Eddie."

Edward laughed at his wife, he knew she was trying to keep the mood light and he wish to encourage and support her. He didn't care how swallow it really was in the grand scheme of things.

"Yes, I suppose so, once upon a time."

"Oh, don't say that Eddie. You are still handsome, even if you have a few gray hairs. You know that's the style with the young folk now a days."

Christina pause and gestured with her hands.

"He had been so tiny when he was born. You had been so large in comparison when you held him in your arms."

"Yes, I remember. He had been 3 when that artist painted us. He wiggled all the while."

"Oh but you were both so adorably."

The elderly couple laughed at each other. They had been together for so very long it was hard to remember a time before that. 53 years of marriage, having celebrated their 50th Anniversary in 2057. And for 64% of those 53 years they had had Taylor and now he was slipping through their fingers. Edward had always been cool with his son, save that seven years of Taylor's exile. Edward and Taylor, whilst they weren't ideal father and son, still loved each other.

But to Christina it was debasing. She protected Taylor with her life, she had risked her life, her crown, everything to keep Taylor safe. Now there was nothing she could do to save him. How could this be happening? She had always been guilty for not having more children after Taylor. It for years had eaten her up and now her only child would soon be gone from her. Christina began to cry and Edward sighed, moved to set next to his still aged but lovely wife and hugged her. The two sobbed silently and softly into each other's arms, they were holding on to each other. The old parents, who had so much love for each other, for their son, their grandchildren, cried themselves to sleep.
---

Prince Paul sat by the bedside of Taylor. He looked over at the sleeping, the resting body of the man whom he loved. Taylor's smooth skin, tanned and well treated. Paul's flew to his face, his high cheek bones and long eyelashes, his ruffled black hair, the curve of his earlobe. His smooth full lips. These were the things that he wanted to remember. Like how Taylor had that cute little birthmark on his neck just by his collar bone or how he had a thin scar on his back from he had fallen into a fountain in Madrid as a teen.

Paul sighed and looked down as the small book that he had in his lap, a sketch book that was filled with not his own drawings, he was a painter yes, but not of people. The drawing were instead made by his sister, Princess Natalie de Condé. She was a true artist and she had made this book of him and Taylor and even two pages showing Auguste and the children.

"What are you looking at there my dear?"

Paul jumped in slight surprise and Taylor had woken and was watching him. Paul, still in his dress clothes turned to see the handsome kaiser.

"Oh, you are awake."

"Yeah."

"Yeah.

Prince Paul smiled at how naturally they followed together even in such times. He leaned forward and gave Taylor a kiss on the cheek. Taylor smiled and sat up a little.

"So, what are you reading?"

"I am booking at Natalie's drawings of us. Of all of us. It is happy to think of the memories..."

Paul sniffed and rubbed his eyes. There were no actual tears falling, instead they were his eyes tearing up as they often did whenever he spoke to Taylor now a days. It was as if each sentence might be their last and it was killing Paul just as much as it was killing Taylor. Had Taylor been alive and well, everything would be perfect. If he was dead, then he could let go and move on. But this terrible limbo was tearing him apart. But he would would remain strong. Taylor leaned forward and touched Paul's arm.

"Don't. Please."

"Hm?"

"Don't focus on the past memories. Just focus these moments, here and now."

Paul stood up and smiled. He hugged Taylor, climbing onto the bed and held him. The two simply stayed like that for a while. And yes both knew that, Paul knew that, Taylor would have to leave him behind, but now they were together and that's all that they would do. Be together. Paul loved Taylor and Taylor loved Paul and that's all that mattered.

Suddenly there was a singing sound. Paul looked up and reluctantly pulled away from Taylor. Paul stood up and straighten his ascot and gave Taylor kiss before walking over to the door. He opened it slightly, standing in the way. One of the maids was standing there, head bowed and whispered to him. Paul nodded and walked back over to Taylor.

"Your parents are here. They are stuck at the gate. I will go get them. I love you."

Paul blew a kiss at Taylor and with a sad smile hurried down stairs and received the two former monarchs. The threesome then quickly went back upstairs to see the person they all loved so much.

---

Prince Edward woke up the next morning, still in his clothes from yesterday and sitting in a chair in front of the bed were his son was resting. He and Paul were laying together, both still fully clothed. Edward yawned and stood up looked at his son. Was he dead? He was so still-

Taylor: "Dad."

Edward released a breath of relief. Taylor smiled at his father and brushed Paul's soft blonde hair as the smaller younger man slept.

Taylor: "Dad, I love you."

Edward sniffed.

Edward: "I love you too son. I love you too."

---

Empress Auguste of Prussia walked the gardens of the Potsdam Palace. She was wearing a black and sliver long dress, one that beautiful. Her long black hair was long and loose, her crown, the crown of the Empress of Prussia. She was walking with Duchess Frederica, and Princess Louise, not her daughter but one of her ladies-in-waiting, who were both wearing simpler colors. She never thought she would have gotten so close to these two women, but she could not help but feel like she had to live them. They were her closest friends now.

Suddenly there was a figure up on a hill a short distance away. It was the afternoon, and Auguste had gotten notice that her in-laws had arrived in Berlin had arrived in Berlin the other day. Frederich and Wilhelm and Alexandrina had been sent for, but she and the rest had not been called for. Not yet. She looked at the figure and started walking that way, making out that of a man. Auguste, not knowing why, she turned and looked at her two friends.

Auguste: "Frederica, Louise, you can go back to the palace, it's cold outside, you should both get warm."

Louise: "Your Majesty-"

Frederica grabbed Louise's arm and cut her off. Frederica looked into Louise's eyes. Auguste smiled weakly and nodded.

Auguste: "Thank you. I will be just a moment, I think I will just alone for a while."

Louise: "Yes Your Majesty."

Louise and Frederica both curtsied down low to the Empress of Prussia. They then locked arms and rose to their feet and walked away. As they walked away, Auguste, Empress of Prussia turned and went quickly over towards the man. She held her skirts as she walked faster and then stopped.

It was Taylor.

He was there. Taylor III was standing there right before her in the gardens of the Potsdam Palace. Taylor was dressed in full out Prussian regalia.

He wore a blue and black uniform, lined with gold, a long fur lined cloak. He even wore a sliver crown on his head, his black hair and brown eyes were beautiful. He seemed like he was taller and his tanned skin was delightful. He was healthy. He was glowing and he was here in front of her.

Auguste smiled and nearly yelled in delight.

Auguste: "Taylor! You-you are here!"

Taylor: "Yes. It's me."

Taylor then did something unusual. He stepped forward and grasped her face in his smooth strong hands and kissed her. He never kissed her. It was completely out of the ordinary. Taylor held his lips there, and God, he was quite an excellent kisser. When he finally released her and gazed at her beautifully, Auguste felt weak.

Taylor: "I am so sorry."

Auguste: "No, don't be."

Taylor: "No, I am sorry for how I have treated you. I have for years ignored you and your love."

Taylor attacked her again with kisses, holding her, wrapping his arms around her waist. Auguste let out a low moan, this is what she had been waiting for for the last two decades. For Taylor to love her. It was her dream.

Taylor:"I am so sorry."

Auguste, against her greatest desires pulled away and looked up at Taylor in shock and surprise and lust. Was he in love with her? She burned to ask that question. But she did not.

Auguste: "How did you get her? I thought you were in Berlin?"

Taylor: "I was. I snuck out."

Auguste: "What? Why? You are the Kaiser-"

Taylor: "Shhh."

He silenced her with yet another kiss.

Taylor: "Tonight I am not the Kaiser. I am your husband and I will love you tonight."

Auguste: "Taylor? Are you well?"

Taylor frowned briefly.

Taylor: "Don't worry about my health. Worry about how I am suppose this bloody dress off of you."

Auguste, despite her slight concerns in the corner of her mind, she laughed amused by his concerns. Though it was somewhat true. The regal dresses of the Celeste Fashion were something of a mystery to most men with its pins and straps and buttons. Auguste held onto Taylor by his shoulders.

Auguste:" You can't possibly be serious. Are you drunk?"

Taylor lifted her up by her waist and spun her around giggling. He kissed her cheek and then set her back down.

Taylor: "Don't worry. I am here to make you happy, one last gift."

Auguste:"last?"

Taylor:"shush"

The Kaiser and Kaiserin stopped and spun around together. Taylor lead Auguste through the gardens, his arms wrapped around her. He lead her further and further away from the main section of the estate, away from the palace and the royal court and the nobles and from the troubles of her life. They walked pasted roses and lilies and tulips. They talked, they giggled and kissed. It was the perfect after noon.

As the sun set they reached the farthest a part of the estate, far away from everything else it seemed. Auguste remembered it though, it was a tiny cottage. The two went inside and Taylor lead her to the bedroom. The cottage was beautiful, everything in it was fine and cleaned, though it looked like it had been decorated in the 1880's. Auguste couldn't laugh though. It was a lovely place. Taylor walked up behind her and slowly, almost seductively removed her cloak and gloves. As the articles of clothing fell to the floor, Auguste closed her eyes.

Next came the first layer of her dress, Taylor, at Auguste's direction, he unzipped the dress and she slide it down her body, she could only imagine how his eyes watched her beautifully created body. The second layer of the dress was a corset and a loose skirt, white and pink respectively. Taylor slowly untied and unbutton the corset and pulled it off of her, followed quickly then by the skirt.

Auguste, standing in just her underwear turned around like Aphrodite and began to undress Taylor. She did it quickly and rushingly, filled with lust for Taylor. For him. For her dearest husband. She kissed him as she stripped him and pulled him to the bed. His shirt and belt fell to the floor. Then followed by his pants and boxers. He unclipped her bra and suddenly her panties were gone.

And then....

What happen is unprintable. But it was magical.

---

Auguste woke up alone in the cottage. She gasped as she shot up sitting as she looked around, sunlight pouring into the cottage bedroom from the Windows. She looked around and called out for Taylor, but he did not answer. She climbed out of the bed and looked around the cottage and found nothing. It was empty save for her. All that was left of her and Taylor's exploits of the previous day were gone. All but his sliver coronet.

Auguste got dressed and grabbed the coroner and left the cottage. She looked around to see her husband, but he was gone. He had completely disappeared.

---

Auguste of Prussia entered the Potsdam Palace and looked around for Someone to tell her where her husband had disappeared to. She still held his sliver coronet in her hand when she finally found Duchess Frederica in a hallway. Frederica looked behind her and turned around and curtsied to the Empress.

Auguste: "Frederica, have you seen Taylor?"

Frederica: "Taylor? Your Majesty what do you mean?"

Auguste: "Where is my husband? He was gone this morn-"

Frederica: "Your Majesty are you alright?"

Auguste paused and frowned at the Duchess. Why was she acting in such a strange way today? It wasn't usually like her.

Auguste: "What do you mean Frederica."

Frederica: "Your Majesty, the Kaiser is still in Berlin. He is ill and bedridden. He is dying. You know that. "

Auguste looked at Frederica silently. She tried her hardest to say something, to be calm, to not question of what had happened last time was real. Why would Taylor travel all the way to Potsdam, be with Auguste and then go back to Berlin and resume being sick. Was she sick? Was she losing her mind? But Auguste could not think. All she could do was scream. She screamed with a cry of life as tears fell from her eyes.

---

Taylor was dying.

Paul, Edward, Christina and now Sophie stood around Taylor as he lay dying. It had been two days since Auguste had collapsed in tears in the Potsdam Palace and demanded to be called for to the Centre Palace. Christina was for fault for her absence.

Taylor had sent for her. He had sent for her three times in fact. But Christina could not allow it. She had never approved of Auguste and Taylor's marriage. She had seen it as a curse and why she was happy to have grandchildren, she despised her daughter-in-law. And she wouldn't have Auguste by Taylor.

Christina had had her personal staff intercept all transmissions to the Empress to make sure that she was not allowed to leave Potsdam Palace. She had gone as far as to bring guards into Potsdam and literally trap Auguste in the palace.

Taylor: "Mother."

Christina, who had been stand a few feet away turned around to look at her son and quickly rushed over to her beloved son's side. She grasped Taylor's hand and looked at him.

Taylor: "Where is Auguste? Why is she not here.

Christina: "I do not know."

Taylor: "Tell her I am sorry that I could never love her."

Christina: "I will."

Taylor: "Thank you. I trust that you will be kind and you will help my children, your grandchildren. You must learn to be kinder to Auguste. Please. You are my saving grace mother. You have been my guidance. I love you."

Christina nodded and smiled kissing her son's hand, tears flowing down her face.

Christina: "I love you too."

---

In Potsdam Auguste was pacing around the Empress's Chambers. She was trapped in her own home and she did not know why. She was the Empress. She was Taylor's wife, if not in act, then at least by name and law. And after that beautiful night three days ago... Though now she did not know if that was real or not. She had felt him. She had seen and felt and known him. But yet... She yelled at the door.

Frederica entered the chambers nervously. She could sense the Empress's growing wrath. She was calm but sad, but soon... Soon it would be too much for her.

Frederica: "Your Majesty?"

Auguste: "Keep me informed about everything happening in Berlin!"

Frederica: "Yes your Majesty."

The Duchess Curtsied and exited out of the room and quickly went to go tell who ever she needed to speak to to make sure the Empress's to be formed rage didn't consume her as well.

Auguste covered her face and sat down on her bed. She was so confused and was going to be falling apart soon. Auguste loved Taylor with more than her heart. She loved him with all of her life it seemed to her. She couldn't loose him. She sat there in silence and whispered to herself.

Auguste: "Why? Must I be tortured and ruined by love?"

---

Taylor held his father's hand. The two men, father and son looked at each other. So many things had happen between the father and the son. Over the last three decade and a half they had seen and done so much together and against each other. They however did not have to explain themselves. They didn't have to talk it out on Taylor's deathbed. Edward however could not help but think father's were supposed to die before their children. Father's and Mothers do not have to bury their son.

---

Paul was hugging Taylor as the final moments past. Paul had crawled onto his knees on the bed and hugged Taylor, his eyes watery.

"I love you Taylor."

"I love you Paul."

Paul hugged him tightly and ten he kissed him. They kissed. Edward and Christina held each other, whimpering a little as their only son died. Paul held his lips there as he felt the warmth, the life left him. Paul moved away and Taylor laid there, his eyes were closed. His body was still in Paul's arm's. His heartbeat was gone.

Kaiser Taylor III, Emperor of Prussia was dead.

Paul simply silently cried. He cradled Taylor's body, not wanting to let go of him. Sophie walked over and put her hands on Paul's shoulders and tried to support him.

Edward and Christina held each other. They sobbed and cried in agony as they began to mourn their son. It was too much however for them. Christina pushed herself away from her husband covering her face and pushed her way out of the room. Out of that room. That was a cursed room by the devil and God who had taken her son too soon.

Christina, holding her dress in old hand and covering her tear covered face with the other, she ran. She ran as far as she could away from that room. From that corpse. From her dead son. Her greatest prize. Her greatest thing in life was gone. Forever.

She finally couldn't run anymore. And so she stopped, breathing hard and sobbing. She fell to her knees and let out an unearthly cry if pain and sadness that would have shattered eardrums. She cried and wailed and it ripped her apart as she mourned fee son.

---

Auguste of Prussia was sitting in her bed when the duchess Frederica entered the room in all black. She held her eyes lowly and head bowed. In her hands was a small white card. A transmission script. Auguste knew what it was exactly without Frederica even saying a word. She jumped up from her bed and pointed at her yelling at her.

"No! No don't you dare. Don't you tell me that he is dead!"

Frederica burst into tears, though if one looked closely at her they would be able to see that she had been crying earlier. She shook with nervousness as Auguste's rage flew.

"I am so sorry your majesty, he is gone. He died at 11:38 today-"

"Get out!!"

Auguste was in a rage, she grabbed a golden hilt knife from her dress and Frederica quickly exited the room and closed the door as the knife flew through the air and slammed into the thick oak wood door and penetrated the wood. Auguste yelled and screamed and attacked the room. She cried hot salty angry tears as she ripped pillows in half. She pulled the knife out of the door and began to stab her bed repeatedly. She grabbed a chair and with all her inflamed and enraged strength she threw it and it hit a window, exploding and shattering in a ball of glass and wood.

The room was in tatters. It was completely destroyed by Auguste, the now Dowager Empress. She was the Dowager Empress. Taylor was dead. And she had lost everything. She had lost her family, her husband, her country, her throne and her sanity. She collapsed in the corner of the room and broke down.

The Kaiser was dead.
Love was a lie.
The Throne was broken.
God was cruel.

The military has just confirmed that a group of Olympians were killed in an explosion yesterday evening. They were conducting a raid on a convoy on the outskirts of Ahmadabad, India. The military had gathered enough Intel from the raid in Niger to stop an attack on New Delhi. Unfortunately the soldiers were killed while stopping the convoy.

This image of the explosion was released. This if from a gunners view.
The military admitted that this was an unidentified and they are working to find out what was used in this explosion. Intel for the Niger raid suggest the compound was also a research and development center for new weapons. President Grey stated that "the facility was a lot more advanced than we had thought. These terrorist do have the capability to develop weapons and produce explosives on a mass scale; chemical and conventional."

The Olympians were attempting to stop the convoy but after being hit it is believe the crew detonated the weapon. This destroyed a lot of Intel and also took the live of 15 brave men and women. This war on terror is becoming more serious as time progresses. The government still hasn't released the name of who we're fighting.

Following the incident outside of Ahmadabad, the Dowager Empress of India has order the increase of military spending and usage by ten fold, though in actually it has only doubled. The Dowager Empress and André Réev, Grand Inquistor of the Amperiale Police have promised that these terrorists will be found before the end of the year. Investigators have already been looking around in Niger and in Ahmadabad and New Delhi.

It is believed that the terrorists may have something to do with General Geist, a rogue Prussian born commander who became a Manchurian Warlord until his presumed death in 2039. However in 2045 it was discovered he was sliver and joined a terrorist organization call the New Reich. After that organization was destroyed by the glorious Prussians and Russlandians, ageist was imprisoned.

In 2058 Geist escaped prison and the Amperiale Police have been hunting him down ever since. It is believed that just organized attacks could be his doing.

Meanwhile the Dowager Empress has placed an embargo temporality on North Timeria on the fact that they moved soldiers in her country without first notifying her or her staff or her Parliament. This she has promised can not and will not go unpunished. Amperiale Police have taken control of the attack site, upgrading from their usual civilian levels to that of Military.

Vali walks over to 2 men who are blind folded and takes off their cover.
"These are 2 TIA agents... They weren't kind enough to tell me their names but I do now who they work for and that's all I need."
The 2 men were clearly beaten up and tied up together.

Vali picked up a pistol from the desk beside him and looked into the camera. Still looking deep into the camera he shoots both men and kicks them over. He pulls a cell phone out from his pocket and dials a number. He puts it on speaker phone and lays it on the dead TIA agent. It rings and then an operator picks up. He speed dials another number and waits... On the other line you could hear a large explosion. "This is only the beginning."

There was just a series of explosions at the TIA headquarters here in Flesa. This happened while the terrorist Vali was broadcasting. We have determined that he is responsible for the attacks. We clearly have a serious problem that has to be dealt with. He manged to broadcast an execution over live TV and stream it over the web. After this attacks it is clear that he truly has power and his organization has the power to carry out major attacks. We are not sure if there will be any other attacks but the government advises people to be extremely vigilant. The President also increased DEFCON to level 3 for North Timerian forces around the globe. All flights have curretly been cancelled until they are cleared and the Air Force approves flights to resume. The President and important staff are said to be moved into a bunker and the Royal Family currently in hiding at various classified locations.

The Juneau Plan and a new Space Station

^{-306802.89864146925 | Westerkwartier, Irav}

Today after an hours along debate between the Iravian Space Command and the Iravian government in both the House of Representatives and a follow up debate in the Senate, both the houses of the States-General have ultimately pledged their support and have allocated extra funding for the recently proposed ''Juneau Plan''.

The Juneau Plan is seen by many within and outside of the government as a direct continuation upon the earlier successes gained during the controversial but profitable Hartford operations. Which saw the Space Command starships ISC Endeavour and ISC Resistance transport hundred thousand tons of equipment to the lunar surface, in order to improve and expand the existing infrastructure. To build new valuable Helium-3 mines and to construct new bases of operation on the lunar surface. From which the Iravian Space Command could control and oversee its lunar operations.

It has already been several months since the Iravian Space Command has last sent its starship ISC Resistance to the lunar colony, to supply the headquarters at Cape Hartford. And the starship ISC Endeavour has already managed to complete a simply scouting and research mission to Mars, and has scouted for possible locations to set up a future headquarters there.

Now. With the support of the House of Representatives and with that of the Senate, both houses are looking forward to the colonization plans of the Iravian Space Command. Yesterday the Commander-In-Chief president Justin Donovan himself had given the command for the starship ISC Endeavour to re-open the route of supplies previously established between Earth and the Moon. With a new headquarters being constructed at what is going to be known as Point Juneau. Which is expected to oversee the southern still uncolonized half of the moon.

Yesterday also marked a very important event in Atmoran, Iravian, and moon colonization history, when the Katherine moon base which was previously sovereign Atmoran territory was handed over to the Iravian Space Command. The ceremony was attented by Atmoran prime-minister Mariano Campbell, the director of the Royal Space Agency, and princess Katherine II after whom the base was named. To represent Irav and its respective Space Command both president Justin T. Donovan and secretary general Ockels attended the ceremony. According to the agreement signed between the Royal Space Agency and the Iravian Space Command, Atmora would receive 30 metric tonnes of Helium-3 every year and Irav would become the new owner of the Katherine moon base.

Apart from all the Helium-3 mining and expanding of moon territory, the Iravian Space Command has announced the construction of a new space station. This new space station would be placed in an orbit around the Moon and would serve as a jumping point for all future interplanetary travel coming from and going to Earth. So far it has been reported by the Space Command that this space station will have sufficient accomodations to handle an estimated 6 starships. The Iravian Space Command has been actively looking for investors for the new space station, and so far the three nations have been approached by the agency to assist in constructing this massive space station.

Crown Princess Katherine Ana, daughter of King Allan I and heir to the throne of Serbia , as the rest of the nation prepares to celebrate her father's twentieth year of reigning as king of Serbia, she travelled to Port Victoria to visit the tomb of her beloved Grandmother, the late Queen Alaza of Serbia. The somber and charming Crown Princess went through the process of honoring her Grandmother perfectly.

This is the Crown Princess's first public appearance in over six years since her reclusion following the death of her fiancé, Prince Serdgio. The devot Crown Princess stated that she has always been taught to honor those before you and she plans to honor her grandmother's memory more so than her father.

Meanwhile, some of the people are beginning to believe that perhaps Resurfacing of the heir apparent of Serbia will lead to her being engaged, hopefully then married and have her finally produce heirs.

After attempting to breach the TIA agents safehouse a team of ANBU were killed by a IED. The bomb was planted somewhere in the house and it wasn’t picked up by the teams sensors. The explosion destroyed the entire house and caused damage to the surrounding area. It’s believed that Vali is responsible for the attack. The attacks continue to occur across the globe and Timerians are starting worry if there will be another Victoria. Large city centers and populated areas have seen an increase in security measures.

The marriage has been long in the making. The two young royals first meet in 2055 when Prince George visited Crimea and meet the charming little Polish Princess. In 2058 Prince George proposed, but Princess Joanna refused, her mother the Empress deeming George as too far down in the totem pole of Royal ranks to marry her. However, after much pleading, and seeing as how Prince George is heir to the throne of Hesse, however small it might seem, the Empress of Russlande finally gave her permission. The new Prince and Princess couple were married in Warsaw, Poland, Russlande.

Following the continuous concern with space development and the ongoing construction of Diana III, The PASD, Portugeuse Air and Space Department, has parted up with the Orianus League of Space Programs, OLSP, and has begun increasing funding into space. Estimated 1 rocket every 7 hours will be launched as this massive program sends up PASD Scientific Satelites, probes and OLSP Orbital Satelites, and now the new Portuguese telescope, Insight.

As the scientific and OLSP sponsored program reaches new heights, the government wishes the best for all nations and has yet to choose a side to support in the escalating Diana III matter.
The director of the PASD and the Portuguese Representative on the OLSP, Dr. Juan Gerganio and Dr. Hortense Faiñe, believe this will help the work over all as this whopping 750 billion pound a year project gets underway in Portugal as it continues in other OLSP member nations.

Diana III, NO.1 enemy of Irav

^{-306756.65597804094 | Westerkwartier, Irav}

Senators, representatives, speaker of the house. It is truly an honour to stand in front of you all today, not as either an honorary member and the Commander-in-Chief of the Iravian Space Command, but rather as the president of the Iravian Federation and everything that must represent. Unfortunately we have all had the privilege of seeing the Diana III space station in action. We have all seen the space station on the national news, we have all seen it in the newspapers nationwide, and of course we've seen footage that has been captured by our beloved Space Command. According to our best scientists the Diana III space station proposes many dangers for life down here on planet Earth, these include but are certainly not limited to.

* Increased geothermal activity
* Increased floods worldwide with potential for a super flood
* Increased earthquakes
* Influencing and potentially harming the gravitational relation between the Moon and Earth.

To expand on this last point for a little. The environment down on Earth and life on Earth itself cannot possibly sustain itself without the presence of the Moon. It is the sole reason why Earth experiences different tides, these could have been vital for life on land to exist to begin with. Furthermore the moon is also of the utmost importance to our climate here on Earth. By slowing down the rotation of the Earth dramatically the Sun has been given just enough time to heat each size of the Earth, so that life can exist. Without the moon however days would be many times shorter then that they currently are and temperatures would be freezing cold. This is the valuable relation between the Earth and the Moon that we fear Diana III could potentially disrupt with its very existence.

Despite the Iravian Space Command its current stand on the Diana III space station, it has always applauded and will always applaud the peaceful exploration and colonization of the solar system. It too has always supported new scientific missions through this solar system. It however is forced to draw the line of how far these exploration and scientific missions can go when life on Earth becomes threatened by these very discoveries, as is the case in this scenario. As Commander-in-Chief of the Iravian Space Command I feel it is our natural duty to protect the Earth against such a thing and that we should act quickly and decisively to prevent such a thing from occurring.

Those are but some of the reasons why I president Justin T. Donovan as president of the Iravian Federation and as the Commander-in-Chief of its armed forces am calling for the either the removal or complete destruction of the space station Diana III. Please cast your honest vote. Should the Space Command stand by idle? Or should it be allowed to take matters into its own hands and prevent this disaster from happening? The opposition may speak now or shall forever be silent. Thank you very much.

- Justin T. Donovan in a speech today

Votes:

481 in favour
34 abstain
126 disagree

Both spaceships ISC Endeavour and ISC Resistance have received direct orders to make preparations for the destruction of the space station Diana III.

After Irav declared Diana III enemy number 1 and approved its destruction North Timeria has pledged its support. Diana is a clear threat and it must be dealt with accordingly. The space government has denounced DE and has ordered them to shut it down within 15 hours. They have promised that war will come if needed and actions will be taken to eliminate the threat completely.

North Timeria MACs have been repositioned to engage at any moment and the doomsdays day clock has been set to 5 minutes till midnight. The DEFCON level has also been moved to level 2. The government is clearly taking this threat seriously. The NTSC Kirin has been ordered to reposition to engage Diana if needed.

This is by far the most aggressive the North Timeria military has ever been and it is clear North Timeria is serious.

Massive Deployments and a Road to War

With all military branches of the United Forces and all other federal agencies and sectors in Defcon II, the Interplanetary Federation of Irav is about to embark on the largest offensive known to mankind to this date. However before such an offensive could begin the Interplanetary Federation would have to work together to destroy the dangerous Orion satellite system currently orbiting the Earth. Together with the Orion satellite weapon systems, the Diana III space station of the Dutch-Empire is also caught in the crosshairs of the Iravian Space Command. For which plans have been made and have been accepted to have it launched into deep space through the use of a slingshot manoeuvre.

Acting as backup for the Iravian Space Command are the United Forces of the Iravian Federation, which have seen a sudden increase in worldwide deployments to either Freedom Defense Coalition administered territory and its military bases. These bases are primarily located in and throughout Australia, Bangladesh, the west and east coast of Canada, Mauritania, and Greece. The latter of which has also confirmed the arrival of several high-yield nuclear weapons. The Iravian High Command has declared that those military forces have been stationed in those areas are to act as a deterrent for a possible worldwide conflict. And to provide the Iravian Interplanetary Federation with an advantage if such a war were to occur.

The Iravian Space Command too has been reported to be in the highest state of alert short of a nuclear war and has send their spaceships ISC Endeavour and ISC Resistance on a mission to the Dutch-Empire controlled Diana III space station. Onboard of the Resistance and the Endeavour are eight experimental Apollo space fighter aircraft and multiple high-yield nuclear devices in case of possible retaliation against either one of the starships. Governor-General of the Space Command, sir Willem Ockels has given orders to the starships ISC Formidable and ISC Courageous to remain stationed at their homeport at Cape Hartford on the moon. Recently the Space Command Marines have also entered Defcon II in preparation for a possible moon landing by a hostile party.

With the military of the Interplanetary Federation of Irav at the doorstep of most major possible combatants and with the Orion satellite weapon systems caught in the crosshairs of the Iravian Space Command it is yet to be determined how this international crisis is going to develop itself.

President Justin T. Donovan has spoken out about this crisis in the parliament yesterday. Asking for the Senate and the House of Representatives to give permission to end the existence of the Diana III space station and to use all force necessary to bring this nonsense to an immediate stop. Donovan too has threatened to deny opposing nations access to the solar system after this international crisis, on the ground that those said nations are not to be trusted with such privileges and because those nations have broken an important agreement that denied other nations access to space weaponry.

Bombs in Londres!

The four eldest children of King George VII of Emgland were attacked today in Londres at the Oscar Geilden Park, the park in honor of Admiral Geilden Jr. (1967-2033) that was opened in 2040 whilst celebrating the parks 20th anniversary. The Prince and Princess of Wales were waving at the friends neck to Diamond Lake with his brothers, Prince Edward and Prince Leopold and his visiting sister, Princess Charlotte of Geneva as the rest of the motorcade arrived behind them when disaster nearly stuck.

The Deputy Prime Minister, Patrick Davy, had just arrived and stepped out of his car and meeting with the 90 year old widow Mrs. Geilden and photographers when an assassin rushed forward and fired up at the Prince of Wales from below. The bullet wheezed past Prince George's ear and Princess Charlotte's head, startling the brother and sister. The bullet hit one of the Palace Honor Guard in the neck. As the royals were grabbed and protected, only moments later, the Deputy Prime Minister's car exploded.

The five royals are reported to be safe, and only three people were harmed in the explosion, none of which were civilian. The Deputy PM is also safe. The three men, bodyguards, who were injured are currently in the hospital as well as the wounded Palace Honor Guard.

The shooter, a Aaron Assincate and his accomplice Sheen McCore are currently under arrest and have already confessed to attempting to assassinate the Deputy Prime Minister and the Prince of Wales. The nation waits to see how this act of terrorism will be handled.

Today, Connor II, the only child of Emperor Connor I and Empress Alice I, will ascend to the Throne of Roses and take over rule of the Empire from the regency which has seen power for three years since the 18 year old’s mother was declared unfit to reign. Connor II, unlike his predecessors, will be crowned in the Grand Temple of the Divines, widely considered a symbol of the first Empire that existed centuries ago. He will be the first ever male monarch coronated and crowned in the building, and the first monarch since 1700 - a grand total of 361 years. A spokesperson available for comment told us that this is to symbolise how the regime of Connor II shall be one to rival the glories of the First Empire ; and continue the wonderful work of his parents. The event itself will be televised live both nationwide and internationally.

After this, it is understood that there shall be a celebration and party held in the Imperial Palace, considered the official seat of power for the monarchy. Heads of State and royal families from the world over have been invited to attend and join in with the festivities, which provides opportunities for them and our Emperor to become acquainted. Potentially, it could be the laying of the first few building blocks of international relationships that help make both the wider world and our Empire a better place - which is exactly what our young leader - whose last duty as Crown Prince was taking part in a charity football match in Willisville last week - will want.

The King's Body Found!! Secret Slave Queen widowed!

The nation awoke with alarm today as the 84 year old King Oscar III of Sweden was found dead in his bed this morning. Doctors state that he died around 11:36 pm December 31, 2060. What was ever more shocking was that his new wife, having married her only three days earlier was asleep next to him when courtiers found the dead king.

With the king's death, the government has revealed the secrets of the past month. It has been said that Oscar III, his second wife having been killed in an assassination in 2058, had proposed to the recently widowed Dowager Empress Auguste of Prussia, still referred to in Stockholm as Auguste, Dowager Empress. The widow at first refused, but on December 27 after Queen Christina of Prussia, desperate to get rid of her daughter-in-law signed a treaty with the King, she was finally forced to give in and a tearful wedding took place in Rostock as political interest forced 36 year old Auguste to marry the much older King.

The next day the new Queen of Sweden arrived on the 28 of December, the Slave Queen still dressed in black for her second husband, the deceased Taylor III of Prussia. Auguste was held as a prisoner in Stockholm, her only comfort being her old friend, grandson of the King, Crown Prince Charles of Sweden. Charles and Auguste began to plot in how to get Auguste out the horrible marriage that the deranged King had created, but fate was on their side.

After the rest of the members of court had left the King and Queen to celebrate the coming News Years and King Oscar III stated he felt weak, suffering from severe headache. Around 11:36 that night, air stopped going into his body as he sleep next to his stolen and imprisoned Queen. Prince Charles, though he did not know it yet, had ascended the throne as King Charles XVII of Sweden.

The now twice widowed Auguste, Princess of Brunswick has returned to her small domain of Brunswick, having been the Queen of England (2040-2051), Empress of Prussia (2052-2060) and Queen of Sweden (2060). Meanwhile King Charles XVII and his son, 7 year old Crown Prince Gustav have risen to the throne and promised that the nation will be reformed and recover from the scandal of Oscar III and raise Sweden to its former glory.
