Emergency in Bhumidol

[Bhumidol]

The Eiralisian carrier ENP Vili approaches Bhumidol's shores, escorted by submarines. It maintains a safe distance, but readies to launch reinforcements into Bhumidol whenever necessary, teeming with Tac Ops Units and a few Sniper Units. The Eiralisian government has yet to make a statement on the issue, but their stance seems clear.

Spotting Eiralisian Carriers within the Bhumhalese defensive perimeter, the BOAAI has notified the Ministry of Defense to scramble 4,000 PLD's to liquidate the threat at hand. The Bhumhalese Airforce has also scrambled 80 MiG-27s sink the Eirsalisan carrier. Absolutely no mercy will be shown to the enemy, whose blood must be shed for such terrible karma.

[Eiralis]

The EPF begins to deploy, via low-flying transport helicopters, armoured personnel carriers to Bhumidol's shores. They carry mixed units equipping themselves with their usual nonlethal and antitank weapons, not knowing quite what opposition they will face. Sniper Units support both Eiralis's assault and the Vancouvian allies; field medics attempt to make contact with Free Bhumidol's forces to plan for the treatment and evacuation of the wounded, particularly civilians.

Eiralisian anti-air fire lets loose from the ENP Vili, and its own jets are scrambled to counter the assault. The submarines prepare to defend against naval threats at all costs. 40 jets, equipped for anti-aircraft fighting, are launched, as the 60 transport helicopters continue to offload troops onto the island.

International Waters
Near the Northern Coast of Bhumidol

The frigate TRS Renaudin, pride of the Tuernian Navy and sole ocean-going vessel in the fleet, silently bobbed on the calm ocean. Nearby were two enormous cargo ships, commandeered and pressed into service by the Tuernian government. This flotilla had been assembled in response to a plea for help from those in Megalaya. The ships were hoping to rescue 30,000 children in the newly independent state, and as many others as could be transported on the two cargo ships and the third that the Megalayans had commandeered themselves.

On board the Renaudin, however, debate raged.

"I too am suspicious," said the captain, "one message from them says to fly our flags to offer some protection, another says not to or we will be destroyed by the Bhumidolese. And if we know one thing, its that the AI is capable of hacking these messages."

"I know sir," said the first mate, "but there are tens of thousands of lives at stake. We have to do something!"

The captain thought for a moment more. "I think you're right, we must try at least. I think we will try a third option."

A few minutes later, the two cargo ships entered Bhumidol waters and began to approach the Megalayan coast, with the Renaudin remaining in international waters. Both ships flew white flags, to advertize their status as unarmed, neutral, humanitarian vessels. The Tuernian soldiers on board had left their weapons on the frigate. Meanwhile, the Renaudin continued to try and contact the Megalayans.

[Free Bhumidol]

Hello all, I'm sure none of you have heard of me yet. I don't know what I want my name to be yet, so I'm just going to call myself 16, since those were the last two numbers of my barcode in prison.

Anyhow, I am here to write a short opinion, inspired by Vancouvia's words. The idea that most citizens in Bhumidol are open to revolution.

Revolution, as it pertains to most Bhumhalese seems to be a Western creation, one that implies impermanence and instability with no end. As such, even when many Bhumhalese are discontent with the government on minor issues, issues that our agents too pick up on, many Bhumhalese instead move onto group thought, the very ingrained form of that has existed in a nation such as ours so bound to the Temple.

To sum, while many citizens may be supportive of changes to the government, it is possible that many Bhumhalese are also scared, and therefore unsupportive of overturning the government. When one, so patriotically grows in a nation bested for it's technological advancement, and seeming perfection, to bring down such a nation would not only shatter the hearts of many Bhumhalese, but also make them angry towards any external intervention.

We therefore hope that the international community understands that we do want freedom for all of Bhumidol, but to do so hastily, and the bring the entire nation down in the manner that is being sought could horrifically backfire.

Recommend halt initial assault and pull back until our forces arrive and can group with yours.  Minimizing losses will be key to this conflict. 

Plan is underway to inform the public of our presence via social media and airdropped leaflets.  We will then seek to take out the heart of the A.I. -- their central command structure or, if unable, any secondary objectives such as radio towers, electrical grids, etc. to cripple the A.I.'s military's capabilities. 

This conflict is about hearts and minds; we must seek to avoid human losses as much as possible.

[Bhumidol]

Knowing full well that social media site LoL (Lotus Link) has been integrated into the Vijyana System, and will be able to instantly filter out all possible threats, the System lies in complete calm. It appears as though the enemy will be relatively ignorant on how the System itself works.

The city remains quiet and desolate, after the Ministry of Health has advised citizens to stay in their designated shelters and reinforced rooms for the arriving nightfall. All signs of PLD's and military units have disappeared from the city, and the jaws of the city now lie open for the imperialist prey to wander helplessly into.

ENP Vili awaits the return of its transport aircraft from the shore, and then swiftly pulls back. Fighters continue to discourage the enemy's persistent attack, and the ground troops that remain take cover and move to defensible locations to establish footholds. While this means they are cut off from reinforcement, they have the capabilities to defend against armoured vehicles, and plenty of anti-infantry capability. The field medics coordinate to establish hospitals guarded by the military force. A message is returned.

Our forces are no stranger to fighting better-equipped foes, most being veterans of our civil war. While we acknowledge the tactical significance of a combined assault, we believe that establishing a foothold to better insert further forces or evacuate civilians and revolutionaries to is more important than ourselves at the time. Our carrier is pulling out of their effective range, but the forces that have landed will stay.

Turning another eye to the north, the System is pleased, for the enemy has failed to understand the absolutism of pure logic, and absolutism of the binary operator... 100 Drones near from Vijayanagra have been deployed to the coast to neutralize the cargo ships during customs check...

Aboard the Renaudin, Captain Dumont sends orders to the cargo ships over the radio.

"Keep approaching the shore, but do not dock until I have made contact with the Megalayans. We want to stop for a short a time as possible, and only where they're able to provide us some protection while we load the refugees."

After receiving confirmation from the ships, he continues to try and contact the Megalayans.

"Megalayan Republic, this is the TRS Renaudin. Do you copy? We request docking locations as well as assurance of protection for our vessels."

The Bhumhalese airforce maintains it's airfight with the Eiralisian anti-aircraft jets. In the initial fighting, 12, Bhumhalese Jets are struck, as are 10 Eiralisian Jets. The airfight continues as a close match as occasional firing skims the surface of the carrier. In the heat of the fighting, the initial 100 PLD's armed with CPU refrigeration capabilities avoid heat detection missles, landing on the deck of the aircraft carrier to began, 'releasing', the crew on the deck.

From the horizon, the other 3900 PLD's are fast approaching. Although these PLD's are susceptable to heat-sensored attacks, the Eiralisian Airmen must make potentially tough choice with a triple-assault taking place...

"The Queen has instructed you to support the country of Free Bhumidol," the messenger told Danver. "With things as fragile as they are back in Kefira, and the people against Bhumidol, we have no choice." Danver sighed and rubbed his head.
"Send in supplies- airlift food, set up portable hospitals. Try not to provoke anyone, alright?"

"How in the gods-damn hell did those THINGS get aboard?" an officer shouts to another as he fires his rifle into another. The hands below decks work quickly to load the firearms with traditional lead ammunition, a very non-standard practice for the Eiralisian Police, as aircraft return to the carrier. The Sniper Units still aboard are armed with antitank rifles, and the same with the HWS's from the Tac Ops Units. Those who have no explosives attempt to use a mix of baton rounds and good, old-fashioned NATO cartridges to eliminate the bots as the unarmed and unarmoured are hurried below decks.

The Bhumhalese Government is supportive of the initial statement released by the Eiralisian Parliament!

Heading at full throttle, the Vancouvian 1st Force has reached Metrobian waters and continues its push southeast.

A request by General Lindquist to launch fighters and/or helicopters to relieve Eiralis was denied by the Vancouvian Congress, as it would risk the defense of the fleet.

"Eiralis is on their own," said Senator Coldridge simply.

Meanwhile, new soft orders have been transmitted to VSF squads on the ground to begin moving to the nearest appropriate objectives of which to cause maximum harm to the Bhumidol infrastructure. A select minority of squads are reporting minor engagements with enemy forces.

[Kefira]

Danver paced. "Eiralis needs support," he said, turning red in the face.
The messenger quietly said, "But the queen-"
"Who cares! Send the stealth bombers behind enemy lines. Take out the anti aircraft. Send in partisans to train locals, set up networks, whatever it takes. I'll deal with the Queen. We don't have a lot, but we can try."

Eiralisian Infiltration Units, used to working under the cover of darkness, wait until twilight falls before pushing in to nonlethally subdue any of Bhumidol's human patrols or sentries they come across, so as to not give away more information to the ever-watching AI. Prisoners are taken back to the Eiralisian military camps, where they are kept under watch and fed if hungry.

While we give credit where credit is due, and your civil rights are above many others, your tyranny is evident in the will for change among your people and your unwillingness for compromise among your government. We are reluctant to enter into our first major international conflict with such a formidable force, but we declare the need for civil and political freedom among all nations, your own included.

Declaration of War!

The Vijyana System has declared war on your nation for working to conspire to overthrow the Bhumhalese government. As such, the Government of Bhumidol has unilaterally declared a state of war against your nation.

After the smoke from the initial pounding cleared, the PLD's appeared unscathed except for the small amounts of dirt layered on the graphene-reinforced nets of the PLD's metallic skin. It was this that accounted for the web-like appearance of lines accross the skins of these PLDs.

With the onslought of Kefiria, and all Bhumhalese aircraft destroyed, the nearly 3900 lesser quality PLD's began to attack Kefirian Stealth bombers; 3 Stealth Bombers are taken down, along with 200 PLDS, while the remaining 3700 PLD's began pouring over the deck of the ship.

The PLD's began initializing their LaWS systems, firing at armed targets on-board. 12 Carbon-units are killed in the attack, along with 32 PLDs. The Advanced PLD division use their LaWS systems to begin firing into the hull of the ship, betting on the chance that the ship will be damaged to the point where it will sink...

For extra precaution, 500 of the unadvanced PLD's swarm the ship...

OOC note: The non-advanced PLD's are more suspeptible to attack than the advanced division.

[Linaviar]

An official statement by the Linavian Government
In response to the developing crisis in the nation of Bhumidol, the government of the Republic of Linaviar has implemented the following policies.

1. The state of Free Bhumidol has henceforth been recognized as a legitimate entity, and the Linavian Government pledges to protect the 18 intellectuals, as well as the state of Sanchion while they host the individuals in question. An attack on either will be seen as a declaration of war against Linaviar.
2. Megaleya has been classified as a terrorist organization. Any state found sponsoring its actions will have ties cut, and any Linavian national that provides aid to the organization will have committed an act of treason.
3. The Linavian Government condemns the state of Bhumidol for its actions during the crisis and its policy of manipulating the thoughts and memories of its citizens. It henceforth declares trade with the condemned state to be illegal, and will begin a blockade of Bhumhalese ports with the goal of preventing Linavian ships from accessing said ports. Ships of other nationalities will not be targeted.
4. The Linavian Government declares its willingness to enter into a state of war against Bhumidol should any nations currently in conflict with the condemned state request the assistance of the Linavian Government.

News comes slowly to Stoizzle. Upon the Executive staff hearing about the conflict, the President decides to send the nation's best diplomat, Wilbur Stroganoff.

The anti-air guns and antitank rifles pound on the bots, along with the light machine guns, automatic shotguns, battle rifles. High calibre weapons are being used by all soldiers, and none are without traditional ammunition now. The carrier continues to speed away at just over sixty kilometers per hour.
