North and South (IC / SEMI-OPEN)

Minutes later, Marine A speeds out of Downing Street in his spy car, running over several tourists in the process. Fortunately, he has a (driver's) licence to kill - unfortunately, this does not cover non-fatal injuries. He reverses back to kill the tourists before speeding off again. His mission: to head to Northumbria, and kill Alvin Ashleigh. He drives north on the M1, breaking the speed limit and causing several car pileups. Unlike Philip Proudfoot, however, he avoids getting into any vehicle accidents himself.

OOC: Why are all your soldiers children?

OOC: Strategy

OOC: You realise the British are presenting Ashleigh as a selfish nutcase who just got kids killed.

Then again I suppose it makes us look bad if our armed forces kill them.
Is that the idea?

OOC: It was the decision of the children to fight. Ashleigh has nothing to do with the militants, he is a peaceful politician.

OOC: in that case I’m retconning the Marine A assassination mission against Alvin Ashleigh.
He’s being sent to assassinate the militant leader.

IC: Britain asks the government of Northumbria to form a police force. They say this will help prevent murders of prisoners of war, theft and the recruitment of child soldiers.

[Nationalist Northumbria]

OOC: Keep in mind RP time is still somewhere in the middle of May.

IC: Continuing to drive north, Marine A picks up the phone call informing him of the change. "Got it," he says, as the distraction causes him to drive even more erratically and in turn cause yet another pile-up on the motorway.

[Ideal Britain]

IC:
The British government asks the International Criminal Court to investigate the recruitment of child soldiers under fifteen,
the use of said soldiers in hostilities, the murder of a prisoner of war, the murder of three elderly non-combatant royals and the disguise of combatants in civilian clothes (perfidy).

OOC: is Marine A in the Special Boat Service?

It makes sense if he’s from the Royal Marines and employed for a mission like this.

Ashleigh announces the re-establishment of Northumbria Police, rehiring the officers who were fired by the British government when it established the North East Police. Northumbria Police takes over the surrendered police stations in Elswick and Jesmond. While Elswick is now under Northumbrian control, Jesmond is still mostly in the hands of the British.

IC: the British government requests negotiations over the fate of Jesmond: Chi Onwurah and Dan Jarvis negotiating with Phillip Proudfoot and Alvin Ashleigh.

OOC:
If Alvin Ashleigh is Prime Minister who is President?

Do they have a monarch?

I’m guessing they have a President but he/she is just a figurehead, with Alvin Ashleigh in real control.

OOC: look, I’ve specified now.

IC:
Deputy Director Alexander Beaufort of the Northumbria Desk of the Secret Intelligence Service asks Marine A his progress.
His car has one of those things where the car radio transmits his voice so he doesn’t need to pick up a phone whilst driving.

OOC:
Marine A would be from the Royal Marines, trained by the SBS and seconded to MI6.

That’s why he needs a “license to kill”.

He would be from the SBS because of the type of missions combined with the fact he was a Marine.

“Can we bring a military presence for our protection?” asks the Prime Minister Daniel Owen Woolgar Jarvis MBE.

Following the intelligence that Alvin Ashleigh is not connected to the insurgency, he is also invited to Major Muhammad Khan’s wedding.
