The door to the president's private study whipped open and 5 Secret Guard members with weapons visible and radios in hand sprinted in the room and grabbed the president.They escorted him to the fire exit and ran down 7 flights of stairs. Then they rushed through the exit into an APC convoy, which was witing for them. The president was placed into the 3rd APC of the 7 in the convoy. They were immediatley on the Highway and only after 5 minutes, were half way to their destination.

The president wasn't sure what was going on. He tapped his secretary on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me, William, but do you happen to know what is going on?" The secretary looked at him and simply shrugged his shoulders. The president got up and headed for the front of the APC, where the commanding officer was. He asked him what was going on. "We were put on red-alert. They said there was a bomb report coming from at least one port in each province, and at least two airports in each province. We were shocked, for all of these places were always heavily guarded and we have modern security standards. I have no idea how this happened.", the Officer replied, visibly scared.

Just then, a crackling was heard on the radio. It was from Secret Guard HQ in Grent Province:

"Attention all Troops and Law Enfrocement Officers: Grab a weapon, and head to your nearest recruiting station. Your orders will be further explained upon your arrival. I repeat, Head to your nearest recuiting office IMMEDIATLEY! They are advancing as we speak. Hurry!"

Everyone in the APC loked visibly shaken. They gave each other worried looks about their families. Then, after 5 minutes of worry, they regained focus and weren't very worried about themselves, as they would be safe momentarily. "Well, sir. May I at least know where we are going?" the president asked after the worry died down.
"We are heading to the bunker,sir. From there, we will take the helicopters out to sea. From what we're hearing, we should be safe there." the officer said.
"Alright. Thank you, sir. I will try not to bother you again. Thank you." the president responded.
As he walked back to his seat, he mumbled "This is NOT how I wanted to spend my Sunday evening..."
He sat down patiently and waited for their arrival at the bunker.

[Cyrupe]

President Michael Flauer was going through his twice-daily stack of reports; something he dreaded but had to do anyway. Mostly it was just incidents of someone whining about someone else. It was funny to him what caused an international incident sometimes. Something in the stack did catch his eye and his attention, a manila envelope with the title "Goober Kingdom" in a thick, red font on the front. He opened the envelope quickly; his hand shaking with a mixture of fear and anticipation.

"Oh Christ, what have they gotten themselves into?" Michael muttered out loud. It sounded serious, but it really wasn't something he wanted to deal with. Granted, Goober Kingdom was a former protectorate of the Imperial Republic's domain, but that was the past and most things about Goober Kingdom were forgotten; the government feeling it was better simply to forget about the backwater they once considered a warm ally. Michael tapped a buzzer that was on his desk and within moments the door swung open, the face of an older man appearing. "Yes sir?" The man asked calmly. "Patrick, assemble the board of advisers, we got a situation to say the least. Have them here as quickly as possible, this is rather time sensitive."

Patrick nodded his head. "Of course, sir. I'll have them here within the half-hour. Can I get anything for you?" Michael smiled, peaking up from his now open laptop's lid. "No, that's okay Patrick. I'm fine." The half-hour came rather quickly in Michael's eyes. Before he knew it the group of eight advisers were assembled in his office. Everyone from the minister of defense to the secretary of state was there, some groggy-eyed and others well alert.

"Gentlemen, we have an issue with our, er, ally Goober Kingdom." He could see a wave of eyes rolling, obviously these people didn't truly care about a matter not directly involving Cyrupe at that time. "Their message reads, as best as I can make it out here, that they have been attacked throughout several areas of the country and that there are rumors to be bombs in many ports and airports. They are requesting military aid or support. Now, what I'm wondering is what we should do."

Secretary of state Christina Mazurka spoke up first. "Well sir, while we have had a rocky relationship with Goober Kingdom in past years, this is beyond petty differences. While I don't believe we should use military force; we should offer evacuation of citizens and key government officials. I'm sure they could attempt to run their country from our offices. It wouldn't be easy but on the other hand it's better than endangering their lives."

Several others in the room agreed, but discussion went on further. In the end, Cristina's idea was the chosen option and a message was sent to Goober Kingdom's government.

Greetings from the Imperial Republic of Cyrupe,

We have heard your distress call and we will assist your people. We unanimously decided that we will not be assisting militarily and any requests for such will be ignored. We do offer a large-scale evacuation of Gooborian citizens and the government of Goober Kingdom. We have facilities available for both the refugees and a facility for the government to operate within Cyrupe should they desire evacuation.

Our people's prayers are with you and we hope for a speedy response so we may mobilize evacuation forces quickly.
