The assassination of Alexandria Andropov. (IC/OPEN)

[Grand Soviet Union]

The Allied States President would like to ensure the protection of Sedikal President, He arrived on the ASA jet with two members of the 10th Mountain Division. We would like for them to accompany him as a Protective guard.

We thank you for your consern but that wont be need. This is an issue between us two and wish no other nations to get involved right now.

Although we have allowed it Mr. Belavovec is right. If he deems it unnecesary then it is so. We thank you though and will pay for the guards return home.

[Sedikal]

"we have arrived sir. I will show you to Mr. Andropov's office,"

@y The Allied States of North America we will allow this but your guards must remain outside the office of the meeting.

Dane walk out of the vehicle. He stood tall and walked into the kremlin.
Dane admires the kremlin a building he had admired sense his yougth.

"Wait a minute." Dane said with susspition

I've meet this man. Yes he's was a sniper bit you found him under a fake name." Dane proclaimed
"this mans name is Johan Becervihge! That sly basterd! We gave him a medal for heroism in the seconed Sedikal civil war. I suspect the FLA has a part in this."

Johan Becervihge you say? says Yuri flipping through some papers. I dont see anything about that. Care to share your info?

Johan Becervihge you say? says Yuri flipping through some papers. I dont see anything about that. Care to share your info?

With the picture you show me looks identical to Johan. I awarded him the medal of pride for his bravery in the seconded Sedikal civil war but sense then he's been involved with a sepertist group know as the FLA the same group we fought in the second Sedikal civil war.

[Grand Soviet Union]

Ironic isn't it? anyway he's dead but the group isn't. Now our options are limited very limited and none of them good.

1. Sedikal takes the blame and does something to own up.

not something we want as your gov. isnt involved.

2. we go after this terrorist group together. Downfall is I don;t think my people will wish it as I dont think it will be enoug bloodshed to satisfy their needs,

3.Our nations stop diplomacy.

and 4. war,,,

Now I don't see many other options but I'm all ears to any suggestions.

[Sedikal]

Dane get a message on his phone.
It from one of the council members and it reads
"turn the news on now!"

"um mr. Andropov I've gotten a message that says we need to look ate the news. Is it ok if I do so?"

[Grand Soviet Union]

of course.

[Sedikal]

Same turns on the TV and turns it to the national news.

"breaking news from Sedikal to day. An attack on a Grand Soviet Union military base in the country. Sevral soviet soldiers have been killed and the attackers are reported to be Sedik soldier. We do not have all the details on this but it seems to be an act if war of sedikals part.


This the only picture we have of the fighting so far"

Dane changes. It looks pale and sickly.

From: His Divine Grace's High Lord of the Diplomacy Toteticus Millven
To: G.S.U
His majesty Emperor Erebus Bloodmoon VIII was saddened to hear of a assassination that took place in your great nation. His magesty knows how hard it is to control the general populace when these assassinations do deeper political harm, My magesty would like to loan you, if you accept of course, a battalion of Titanisan Royal Imperium Peacekeepers along with a unit of GE4 Commandos or better known as "DAEMONs" under the command of Captain Hein Lefeller. Captain Lefeller is one of our more travelled officers, he has been on several similair missions to foreign nations to keep peace, root out terrorist cells, or in more extreme cases decimate dangerous civilian organizations/groups.
Sincerely,

"Sedikal? No. Sedikal wouldn't. But-no, we got-Those little-" Jesse Thatcher questions madly at the tv, suddenly have the urge to break someone's neck. The last time someone had committed an act of war on Sedikal's part, it had turn out to be someone else entirely.
[flashback]
It was a cold day, even by Raziac terms. But the snow was white and light, everybody was having a great time. Seems sad in retrospect that the gunmen took that day to ruin. Why only in retrospect? Because at the time, everybody was to busy running away in terror.
That is, most people. Me? I was in the shadows as usually, calmly plonking headshot after headshot on them. As usual, when the the clock of fortune hits 'Luck? You got f*ck all, sonny boy.' Thrawkian spec ops. New Valhalla, Trachningrad, Raziac City, Fortuna, even the Exelcior complex. Each one of them hit. Hundreds upon thousands killed. For the next three days, it rained blood. The problem? In Raziac, it doesn't rain, but it pours. Anna. They killed her that day. Murdered her in cold blood. They didn't even look at her, just pointed the smg at a roughly left angle and sprayed. Three shots to the chest, one to the heart, one to each chest. They said it was instantaneous, painless. But death never is. It slowly kills the deceased's loved ones over time. Slowly, surely encroaching over they're hearts and souls. That day, Raziac as a whole was baptized in blood and fire.
[/end of flashback]
"This is my war too." He growls, stalking towards his phone, madly bashing the numbers.
"Connect me to Dane Belavoveç right freaking now!" He rumbled, the his voice deep with anger.
Somewhere, a cellphone was ringing in Mr. Belavoveç's pocket.

[Sedikal]

Dane and Yuri are still spellbound by the news report when Dane hears his phone. He checks it but doesn't reconize the number. He almost instantly declines the call and just a quickly he call Sarç Anovosich the minister of deffence and war.
Sarç answers
"sir we have a problem" said Sarç hastily
"no shit we have a problem!" yelled Dane
"why is my nation on the news for attack GSU?! Further more how authorized this?!" dame said in rage
"we don't know sir we ark now about as much as everyone else" answered Sarç.
"this is pitiful! Has the whole system just stop?! You have some explaining to do!"
Dane ends the call and abruptly throws his phone against the wall shattering it. Dane starts to cry from frustration and looks at mr. Andropov.
"I swear to god i had nothing to do with this" Dane said with a half whisper.

[Raziac]

About thirty minutes after the phone is smashed, a man bursts through the door.
"Jesse Thatcher, blah blah blah, son of Ezra and Jake Thatcher, let's forget the pleasantries. I know who did this, and it's not you. Any of you to remember when Raziac was attacked by Thawkian spec ops? I believe your newspapers ran a story on it- 'The Day The Heavens Poured Blood'? The Thawkians did this. Again. And I hope to god I'm not right because of the fact that if I am, then sh*t's about to get real." Jesse says in a rush, flashing ID at the two rulers.

[Sedikal]

Dane looks over at the man.
"why would Thawkia have a vested intrest in ate problem? I've never met anyone from there and as far as I know nether has Yuri"

[Raziac]

Jesse waves his arms in exasperation.
"They call it the 'Linch-pin effect'. You knock one domino down, and they keep falling. You kill a wife, make it seem like it was on the behalf of an ally country, then you stage an act of war. Boom! Full scale conflict. WMD's get involved as riots and civil unrest starts. Before you know it, in weeks, world war freaking three has started. We need to stop this! We need to expose this! And then, for a rather personal reason as well as to observe justice and appease the people, we destroy Thawkia, like Raziac should have done years ago." He explains, pulling out a Dragunov-look-alike rifle and a Zenith pistol, the same model his father brought to the ball.

[Sedikal]

"i'm sorry sir but I'm going to have to disregard your clams, at least untill all other logical answers have been ruled out.

[Raziac]

"What logical answers, hmm? There are no other possible logical ideas, scenarios, eventualities or answers!" Jesse shouts, his fist slamming onto the table.
"At the very least, you should understand. Your wife was killed. Well guess what? You're not the only one. They're freaking Linch Pin theory doesn't factor in the human cost. You know that Thawkia has always hungered for more land. You know that starting a conflict that will engulf everybody while standing on the sidelines will give them just that. And what do you do? You dismiss my 'claims' as fallacy. Well you know what? Here's the intelligence report on Thawkia-" He says, tossing a thick wad of papers on the desk.
"-And here's one on August seventeenth-" He says, slamming another wad.
"-And here's one on Anna!" He yells, slamming a series of letters, photos and even more papers onto the desk. Then, his rage is capped, and he falls back onto the couch as it is replaced by sorrow.
"We were only nineteen. Both of us. We had decided to go onto a little vacation to New Valhalla, and everything was set to be perfect. She was beautiful. The weather was beautiful. Hell, even that car that almost ran me over seemed beautiful at the time. But no, they just had to ruin it. They just had to kill her! He- he didn't even look at her. He just tilted it towards us and sprayed. I should have moved faster, taken the bullets. But I was too slow. Too weak. So she payed the price. One shot to each lung, one to the heart, it was instantaneous, painless. Her last word? 'I do.'. I'll let you figure out my question. I went on a spree that would make mass murderers cringe. All day long. Boom headshot, boom headshot, boom freaking headshot. But that won't bring her back, will it?" He asks the gentlemen in front of him, his head tilting towards them, a single tear falling down his right cheek.
"Will it?"

[Sedikal]

"-And here's one on Anna!" He yells, slamming a series of letters, photos and even more papers onto the desk.

A look of frustration came across his face.
"look we have a sepertist group, and possibly a terrorist organization that have more of a reason to do this hell for all I know one of the high ranking members of the military or even my own minister of defense could have done this. They have more motivation then se far off countries we've never heard of" said Dane in a stern voice.
