Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, North American Union
Roderick Alleyn's apartment
6:40 pm
Detective Chief Inspector Roderick Alleyn, after a long day at the Sir John Hooper Memorial NAUPOL Central Office Building on Market Street, finally sat down on his couch turned on his televisor, holding a glass of water and placing a paracetamol on his tongue and took a drink. He yawned as he pondered a photograph above his idiot box--his daughter and his ex-wife with the photo folded in the corner to hide her face. Divorced for 4 years and a 35-year old bobby in the most prestigious police unit of the NAUPOL, the Special Branch. Alleyn got his master's degree in criminology at the University of Pennsylvania, and joined the force at age 26. Got married at 28, became a father at 30, and divorced at 32. He accused that his wife cheated on him but he could not fully prove it, and in the end it was joint custody over Mara, a 7-year old who is with her mother, Diane, for the last week and will be dropping her off at his flat at 7 pm for his week.
He was part of Division 2 of the General Special Branch, responsible for investigating domestic intelligence and counter-intelligence cases. Sometimes that meant surveilling a suspected domestic malcontent who was deemed by the Target Approval and Request Committee to have questionable loyalties to the Crown. Sometimes a TARC certificate came down on certain, recent travelers to the NAU who, by commercial air travel or by ship, entered Philadelphia and their business or pleasure in the NAU was rather too avoiding of the usual tourist traps.
But for his recent assignment that he got today, it has been with computers of several important companies. Particularly with several important defence contractors with the general government. Staverton, Imperial Electric America, the Australasian Aerocraft Corporation American branch (AAC America), New Hanover Systems, and even North American Motors. They all had their servers broken into by some malicious hacker or hacker group and loaded with malware. Ongoing projects and tests with NAF equipment. Internal communications, contracts with MOD and MOJ. A shitstorm at home. So far, Special Branch and the boffins at the Cyber Force at Joint Operations Strategic Command, who are assisting because of the impact on the military, have determined that social media accounts of some employees of these companies were utilized by the hacker or hackers through fake online games and sweepstakes, and when employees opened these things on their work computers, the hackers were in. Alleyn thought these employees would be sacked by tomorrow morning if not already, and lots of training time and new policies for using personal social media on work computers. But his investigative team, NAUPOL SB and JSOC Cyber Force, had no idea who was behind the attack.
He turned his attention to the televisor, where it beamed "THE URSULA AFFAIR" on the screen:
ANNOUNCER: "...and now we turn to the Caribbean for our next segment. Tensions are on the rise in the usually idyllic paradise provinces of the Union as Langenian coastal patrol ships stop, search, and detain foreign fishermen and small tour cruises along the Langenian northern coast. Two weeks ago a Dutch tourist boat that traveled around the ABC Islands that has been traveling rather closely to the Langenian coast was stopped by the Langenian Coast Guard and all aboard were detained on charges of espionage. And now it has been a week since reports coming from Langenian news sources in the capital of Aragon and the NAU Legation there that three North American citizens have been detained near Patos Island, which is just on the other side of the EEZ line and the Gulf of Paria. The shrimper vessel, the Ursula, had its captain, Carron Johnson of Trinidad, and the crewmembers Carlos Santiago of Trinidad and John Kearns of Florida, detained on charges of espionage.
The NAU condemned Langenia that day for interference with the peaceful and lawful actions of its citizens. Today, the External Affairs Minister made a public announcement:"
-Cut to a 50-year-old man speaking in front of a podium in front of a bunch of NAU and UC flags-
DEAN FAIRCHILD (NAU Minister of External and United Commonwealth Affairs): "...this was a violation of the rights of North American citizens, who were following the law and just doing their jobs as honest fishermen. Quite frankly, this is harassment, not only of us but other nations. His Britannic Majesty's North American Government intends to introduce a resolution at this upcoming general assembly at the Organisation of American States in Mexico City next to censure Langenia for flagrant disregard of the OAS Charter..."
-Cut back to the announcer with a map of Patos Island and the Gulf of Paria-
ANNOUNCER: "That was NAU External Affairs Minister, Leader of the Aboriginal Peoples' Party, and Majority Leader in the Grand Council, Dean Fairchild. His Majesty's North American Government is considering the application of sanctions on Langenian companies with financial ties to the NAU, and His Excellency the President-General has declared 10 Langenian diplomats persona non grata, who will be leaving their Philadelphia legation* tomorrow morning. Next week is the OAS General Assembly of delegates, to be held in Mexico City from Tuesday..."
Alleyn heard a knock at his door. He walked over to it and opened it. "Papa!" shouted Mara. "So good to see you again, dear. How's school?" Mara showed him some of her drawings from her pink bookbag. Diane and Roderick exchanged a few words about the visitation. "I'll see you next Sunday 7 pm, ok? Be a good girl," said the former Diane Alleyn, now Diane née Clarke. Daine said that Roderick's insufferable personality was the real reason she wanted the divorce. But in the end, it was joint custody. Diane said a short but friendly good-bye to Roderick and hugged Mara. She waved to both of them; she understood from the news lately why he was under a bit of stress, and wished him some happiness, and she quietly hoped they did fun things together, like go see Old Union Hall or go for riverside rides on the Delaware.
Happiness for both of them, happiness for all of them.

RNAAF Piarco
Province of Trinidad and Tobago, North American Union
8 Feburary 2021
1301 hours
The last of the V/STOL Herakles C.4 cargo planes landed at Piarco and dropped off more equipment to operate the locomotive anti-air vehicles. The Hydras, all but one lined up and at diagonals so they could get to the runway and take off quickly, were indeed old and the only air assets that RNAAF Piarco had. Goodson looked up at the sky as the one airborne Hydra practiced vertical mode about 100 yards down the runway. At least the RNAAF base at Santo Domingo went through, he heard that on the NABC Home Service wireless. Perhaps he'll try to convince Air Command to send some Wasps** down here, some of them are STOL as the RNAAF and RNAN FAA were modernizing the Wasps and Sea Wasps as FGR.3 and FGR.2, respectively.
He walked back to the radar station and air traffic control "tower" of RNAAF Piarco. He climbed the stairs of the three story building to the floor with lots of large windows where the air operations control officers and sergeants were sitting, checking on the helicopters that were doing patrols for any Langie patrol craft or aeroplanes that dared or managed to cross over the NAU-Langenian EEZ line to the Trinidadian side.
Goodson sat down at his desk, elevated somewhat above his controllers' desks. He started looking over paperwork, but just as he was looking over the table of contents of requisition forms for the Hydras, there was a buzzing of the alarms. He got up and walked over to the station of one of his non-coms, Sergeant Dorian Permes. "Sir, we have contacts: two high-speed aerocraft, definitely the Langies." Goodson sprang into action. "Ok, they're probably doing recon on our Hydras and defences..." He was interrupted by one of the calls of the Hydra Pilots, Flying Officer Daryl Samson. "Piarco Control, this is Trin 1, shall we pursue bandits?"
"Only if they attack, try to stay out of their way, we'll call in some Sea Wasps from the Kestrel and hopefully they'll go home when they see them," replied Goodson. The Kestrel as about 60 miles east of here, in the Atlantic.
He hoped everything would go back to normal, no more buzzing, no more threats of war.
About 4 minutes later, the Kestrel was reporting that two Sea Wasps were in the air and on their way, after hearing confirmation from RNAAF Piarco and their own AEW aircraft picked up something.

The sound of a kong shell could be heard reverberating across the city from the Imperial Palace that stood at the top of a large human-made hill as the busy city came to a stop and faced the palace to the east. While the emperor kneeled to the east to the sun goddess while the townsfolk bowed with their right hand on their hearts(Piikalan sign of respect). Suddenly, the Piikalan anthem's sound could be heard reverberating across the city as the citizens watched as a large fifteen by thirty-meter flag rose from the palace's top. They started to sing the anthem with an undying patriotic fervor they sang:
Meant to be sung to the tune of Kimigayo
English translation:
May our divine land
Continue for a thousand generations,
Until the open ocean
Grows into an island
lush with life
May our divine land
Continue for a thousand centuries
Until the rising sun
Grows old into the night sky
May the empire reign
Piikala Pinyin:

After the anthem finished across the town, another kong shell could be heard blowing, ringing through the capital as the sound of the Kingdom of Hawaii's anthem could be heard reverberating through the town. While the people stood and bowed for their fallen ally, the Piikalan emperor stood up and started to sing the anthem of his great-grandmother's land; he sang with a loud voice full of passion singing for his ancestor's nation under British occupation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mAPt_jT8N0
Hawai'i ponoʻī
Nānā I kou mōʻī,
Ka lani aliʻi,
Ke aliʻi.
Hawaiʻi ponoʻī,
Nānā i nā Aliʻi,
Nā pua muli kou,[3]
Nā pōkiʻi.
Hawaiʻi ponoʻī,
E ka lāhui ē,
ʻO kāu hana nui
E ui ē.
Hui:
Makua lani ē,
Kamehameha ē,
Na kāua e pale,
Me ka ihe.
While the emperor sang, another large flag of the Kingdom of Hawaii was raised upon the palace's flag pole underneath the Piikalan flag. As tears streamed down his face as he longs for the liberation of his ancestors' nation and to meet the nation's people while he cries, an attendant comes to him and hands him a handkerchief that he uses to dry his tears on his face and the floor. Lifting himself off the floor, he looks upon the wall to a portrait of his great-great-grandmother Queen Liliuokalani. He says under his breath, "Ooh kupuna wahine nui e hoʻokuʻu wau i ko mākou lāhui mai nā haole ʻino a no ko mākou lāhui a hui pū i ko mākou mau lāhui ma lalo o ka hae o kahi Polynesia hui pū ʻia.(Oooh, grandmother, I shall unite our nations under a single flag and liberate Hawaii from the evil occupiers.)" After saying this, the emperor walks off to the palace basement, where he boards a small electric train that takes him down the mountain to a large bunker, the Piikalan War Pagoda, the nerve center of the Piikalan armed forces.
The War Pagoda
Imperial Capital(Name of the Piikalan Capital City), Piikalan island of Yuki Hana
February 6, 2021
09:00
The sound of chanting could be heard through the War Pagoda halls as two large men dressed in Loincloth holding several large Kahili decorated with red and yellow feathers marched through the halls. This followed by an older woman chanting a Piikalan chant who is wearing a Kappa cloth Toga chanted in Piikalan:
Make way
Make way
For the son of the goddess of the sun and god war if before thee
(The chant continues telling the Piikalan royal family's family tree starting from the first chief of a small village in Japan and the original chiefs of Hawaii till the emperor.)
After the older woman walked the emperor wearing a black silk kimono with a red Ahu Ula and yellow Mahiole with a large Katana and large Koa Lei-o-mano at his side with Piikalan Imperial guard troops dressed from head to toe in a black set of clothes that covered their body and face hiding their large amount of weapons they held underneath. This was followed by another group of men in Kappa loincloths who carried another set of red and yellow Kahili.
The large procession passed through the War Pagoda halls as the men and women who passed bowed to the passing procession. They after a five-minute journey, they arrive at the conference hall and walk inside. Where stand in front of them a large map on an LCD touch screen that shows the whole western pacific in detail, upon entering the room, the emperor takes a set at the front of the room as the Shoguns(Piikalan equivalent of a five-star general) of the Navy and Cyber force enter the rooms and present their plans.
The Shogun of the Cyber Force presenting his plans, which start with the Cyber force using their back doors into the UBC North American assets to rapidly disable the civilian power grids in North America by overloading the power stations and halting all utility systems in the major cities of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas Fortworth, Houston, Toronto, Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, Phoenix, Inland Empire, Detroit, Montreal, Seattle, Santo Domingo, Minneapolis, San Diego, Denver, Saint Louis, Baltimore, Vancouver, Portland, Orlando, San Antonio, Pittsburg, Sacramento, San Juan, Cincinnati, Las Vegas, Kansas City, Cleveland, Columbus, Austin, Anchorage, Deadhorse, Indianapolis, and San Jose. While this happens, Piikalan hackers will launch a virus that will go into the UBCs air defense computers and start to make it look like their air space is being rushed on by Russian Bear bombers coming in from their northern and northeastern coasts. While tricking their computer into believing inbound super sonic coming, bombers are heading towards the Trinidad and Tobago coast and Panama, along with bombers heading towards Hawaii from Russia. With our hackers constantly repeating these attack scenarios on all UBC radar systems every day until December.
Piikalan hackers in the chaos will be copying all the UBC's server data and then destroying the servers through a series of computer viruses that will also take down any communication cables, cell phone towers, and satellites by eliminating the servers that run these systems. After this, we will be destroying base generators by having their computers flood their engines. With all of our attacks happening through a series of VPNs that will trace from Piikala to Kazakhstan, then to Langenia, then to Mexico, then to Romextily, then to Russia, From Russia to Fuso, with the final transmission point being Karachi Pakistan. With the viruses that our hackers will be using, we have taken from Langneian hackers who tried to hack a Piikalan bank and modified it to suit our purpose. This we believe will prevent any feedback to us for the incident while we observe the response times of the UBC government and military to these responses.
After the Cyber Force Shogun presentation was finished, the Imperial Navy's Shogun stood up and began his production. This starts with a full-scale live-fire Piikalan naval training exercise that will happen in the south pacific. Piikalan marines and naval reserve forces will be training to do beach landings and shore-based invasions of island archipelagos. While doing this training exercise, our ballistic missile subs will test our ICBM system by launching a nonnuclear missile ICBM at point Nemo. During this training exercise, our carrier sub fleets will be deployed from their hidden sub-basses in Ha long Bay, Santa Cruz, Palawan, Yilan county, Koh Samui, Ch'ang-dong, Torom, Ust-Kamchatka, and Nanduri, where they will sail to a location hundred clicks south of Jarvis Island. Over there, they will be meeting up with Piikalan supply ships in the middle of the night to load up on supplies for the rest of their mission. After this, the fleets will be leaving from Jarvis island to their points around the western coast of the UBC. It will be on November 6 that the Piikalan air force will be sending a weather monitoring plane from the Galapagos to Piikalan bases in Eastern Russia, passing the western coast of North America, while Piikalan weather aircraft will be taking off from our basses on easter island to basses on the Piikalan mainland passing by Hawaii.
After this, the Piikalan Air and Space force will be launching rockets from our bases in Indonesia, sending a crewed mission to the moon in hopes of distracting the UBCs news organizations. Once this is done, Piikalan carrier subs will be surfacing off the western coast of the UBC and attacking their bases along the west coast and destroying their naval assets on the UBCs coast. Upon completing this, Piikalan subs will go to the Hawaiian archipelago to carpet bomb any UBC military assets in the region. After a week of carpet bombing, our reserve fleet on a 'training exercise' will invade the Hawaiian archipelago with our troops arriving on Kawaholoawe and Niihau's coasts, taking these relatively uninhabited islands as FOB's. Once we have secured these islands, we will progress to Kauai and Lanai's islands, taking over these islands and securing them. We will move on the islands of Molokai and Maui, splitting the archipelago. We will then be landing most of the fleet onto the shores of Waimanalo and the north shore. From there, we will quickly secure the beachheads and march around the Waimanalo mountain range to push into western Honolulu, taking over Waikiki. At the same time, our forces cut off the Kailua area trapping the Kaneohe marine corp base and starving them. While our troops push to secure central Oahu and direct the enemy into Waianae and towards Oahu, then push the troops to the end of Kaena point and eliminate them. Once we have done this, we will drive the forces into Honolulu, then up the Nuuanu valley into the Pali pass, where they will be trapped on the pass and forced off the pass or surrender. Once this is done, we will secure Kailua and settle into the island. After this, Piikalan forces will then be focused on the invasion of the island of Hawaii, landing in Kailua and going west to Hilo. We believe that this will be successful as the UBC will be distracted by their defensive actions in the Caribbean and Mexico.
Upon hearing this plan, the emperor thinks it good and orders the supplies necessary for this operation to be discreetly prepared in secret. At the same time, Piikalan diplomats are to be sent to Langenia to push for diplomatic relationships and create an embassy. Along with the creation of a free trade alliance with the Langenians to ensure their plan succeeds.

The doors of the large stone and wood building slide open as diplomat Takeno Tuaji steps out of the building and onto the crowded sidewalk in front of the ministries building. He then walks down the busy street, passing his fellow Piikalans dressed in colorful Kimonos going about their day while passing old buildings that looked as if they were pulled out of the seventeenth century. Tucked under Tuajis's arm, a hale weaved bag inside it all the things Tuaji will need for his mission, plus a first-class plane ticket for the Langenian capitol on Imperial Airways(Piikalan national carrier). Tuaji quickly walks to the nearest subway station and takes the escalator down into the sleek modern subway station, and boards a train that he takes to his apartment on the capital's outskirts. After a one-hour train ride, Tuaji arrives at his stop and gets off the train where an attendant waves people through the station's automated pay system for free because the train was five seconds late at its destination as another worker's hands out apology notes to the workers to give to their employers to apologize for their delay. Tuaji takes the escalator out of the station and onto the sidewalk and walks to his apartment on the second floor of the old apartment building, and goes inside gathering his clothes and other things for his trip into a large roller suitcase while placing the bag the ministry gave him and his work computer and other devices into a locked carryon bag painted in bright orange with black words painted onto it in English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Piikalan "DIPLOMATIC POUCH OF THE IMPERIAL STATE OF PIIKALA." Tuaji then double-checks his bags and person ensuring that he has everything, and walks out of his apartment, locking the door he heads to the subway again that takes him directly to the bullet train station where he boards a bullet train to the city of Edo, a two-hour ride from the Piikalan capitol where the nearest civilian airport is(this is because the Piikalan people feel and the airport would ruin the beauty of the Piikalan capital and the fact that it's a strictly enforced no-fly zone) where he can catch his flight.

Computer man third class Ruji Moalis starts his day preparing for the extended mission ahead; he gets out of bed and walks out of his house. Walking through the dark streets with the moonlight's aid, he waves high to some of his neighbors who sail onto the beach after a long night of fishing. While he walks through, he listens to the waves' gentle sounds as they crash onto the shore and the occasional screech of a rooster until he arrives at the base entrance. Opening the door, he climbs down the ladder showing his ID to the guard he's let through and takes a shower, and changes. Then he gets a bowl of rice porridge and mackerel, eats his meal, and then gets up to walk to his office. Where he logs onto his computer checking his emails then gets started with work. He starts up his VPNs that he set up the day before and logs onto the UBCs military servers via his back door, then makes his way through the UBS firewalls using a fake account he created in their system the day before and plugs his computers into the bases memory drive and uploads his computer virus onto the UBCs server that gets to work creating a fake air attack on the UBCs radars while his colleagues spread throughout Piikala start their programs causing a massive data to be downloaded from UBC government servers. At the same time, Piikalan hackers using the UBCs internal email network have the following email sent out to all the people on their email system saying:¡Hola Gringos!
Do we hope you don't mind if we borrow your data? !Muchos, Gracias!
-Best Wishes to the AR men
While the email is sent, Piikalan hackers deploy the malware into the UBC's defense networks, causing the transfer of massive amounts of personal records and classified information from their servers that they spill onto Wikileaks while shutting down UBC telephone lines and internet using a computer virus that freezes the UBCs computer for five minutes giving the Piikalans time to download the data at the same time, Piikalan hackers attack the UBCs utilities on Trinidad and Tobago, causing the island's bases lamp posts lights to start flickering as part of a test of their newest code. Simultaneously, their radars show an attack coming from the south of a wing of supper sonic aircraft. After this, the Piikalan hackers upload another virus that destroys all traces of their back doors and data uploads causing the disappearance of any data that would have suggested their servers had been hacked or penetrated by any foreign power. The data they had uploaded being published on Wikileaks under an account called Uncle Sam could be traced back if one were to hack the site to a UBC citizen who doesn't exist and an IP address that can be traced back to a non-existent computer and building in Phillidelphia.

Dear Mr. Nakamura,
I have found something interesting you might want to see. I found some online gaming forums a link to an article you might like to see from Wikileaks. It's detailing some of the North American white monkeys(Piikalan word for a caucasian person literally translated) that includes several dozen UBC government documents that might be of interest to our paper. I have posted the link at the bottom of the email.

General Treasurer's House aka Cadogan House, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, NAU
8 February 2021
1322 hours
The Prime Minister of the North American Union, Dame Felicity Graves, was not a happy woman at the moment, and she was walking quickly with her chief of staff David Yellen to the place where bad guys were made no more: the General Department of Defence's Cadogan House Communications Office. The MOD Communications Office, which not only let the first minister of the leading nation of the United British Commonwealth of Nations communicate with the NAU Ministry of Defence or any North American Forces military unit deployed, it also let the Chief of the Defence Staff and the other Service Chiefs, who all comprised the Defence Staff Committee, to sit with that first minister on executing military operations in real time. She also called the Cabinet Committee on Security and Intelligence to give her the political view while the DSC will give the military view.
Cadogan House's MOD Communications Room was abuzz with activity, with naval, air, and army officers handling phone calls, posting positions of enemy vessels and aircraft on physical and digital displays, and consulting with military intelligence clearing houses. The Prime Minister entered with her close political staff, the ones who were her fixers at New Grand Council House, the General Departments, and inter-provincial and general-provincial relations. All-Union Minister of Defence, Henri Larue, entered with External Affairs Minister Dean Fairchild. "Prime Minister," they said, with Larue just ahead of Fairchild; Larue's Montreal accent notifying of his Quebecois heritage. The government of the day was of the Whig Party and the Aboriginal Peoples' Party in a party alliance together, giving them a majority by two seats. The Whigs were the centre to centre-left party and ardent North American nationalists, though not to the point of wanting to get rid of the monarchy (there was a tiny minority in favor of such a thing, but Flissy Graves was a constitutional monarchist). The Aboriginal Peoples' Party is a centrist party though committed to decentralisation, conservation, and of course indigenous rights and self-governance; Dean Fairchild was Minister of External and United Commonwealth Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of the APP. The opposition was the alliance of the mainland Tories, the Belize Development Movement, and the Confederation of Caribbean Conservative Parties; the latter two are regional parties but all of these entities of the conservative party alliance had roughly similar views on social issues but varied somewhat significantly on the economic direction of the party and country; some were influenced by Catholic social teaching and the Social Gospel (such as the BDM and the Red Tories of the mainland) and thus voted in favor of one-nation Toryism's robust welfare programmes while some where ardent Frenchian* free market proponents and fiscal conservatives (such as the Carib political confederation and the Blue Tories of the mainland).
The three of the several top members of His Britannic Majesty's North American Government were looking at the physical displays set up by the military aides of the Comms Office as well as the televisors and computer displays of what was going on in the Caribbean region. While the NAU is a free and equal member of the community of nations in personal union with Great Britain that is the United British Commonwealth of Nations, many viewed the NAU as British lapdogs in America, the global constable of Anglo-Saxon hegemony, merely a sub-empire of the worldwide British Empire even though the United Commonwealth moved away from formal imperialism and embraced gradual decolonization and fostering of intergovernmental partnerships and shared unity with the Crown by either personal union or by external association with the former colonies and protectorates.
But the rest of the world knew that the NAU was the leading nation, the successor and new torchbearer of the United Commonwealth, no matter what the NAU is called. "What are we looking at, Air Chief Marshal Turgidson?" The Chief of the Defence Staff Air Chief Marshal George "Buck" Turgidson stood next the Prime Minister. "Prime Minister, we are detecting two fighters, whose speed and altitude profiles indicate C-34s and C-58 fighters of the Langenian air force. Our RNAAF base at Piarco on Trinidad detected on radar two bogies that were later registered as the Langie bandits and the HMNAS Kestrel launched a detail of two Sea Wasp FGR.3 fighters. These are our stealth fighters as well as our fastest naval fighters of the RNAN Fleet Air Arm, and the Kestrel's captain, Nick Andersen, reports that they came in about 15 minutes ago and protocol was to launch as Piarco has no fighters of its own, as well as being close to the Langies it was deemed appropriate to limit offensive capabilities at the RNAAF base so they would not try buzzing our radar facility there,"
"But it seems they take it as a weakness in our Caribbean air defences. At least the Kestrel is part of the Caribbean maritime forces, and we have new RNAAF base in Santo Domingo. And I was told by the Chief of the Air Staff that Hydras and locomotive anti-air artillery** were deployed to make the Langies not try it again, but that has also failed..." The Prime Minister was interrupted when an aide handed a transcript to Turgidson. "Ma'am, the Langie pilots radioed our pilots, saying this is an exercise and we're intruding," stated the Air Chief Marshal.
"Ha, typical, the Langies will stress their sovereignty at our expense, when we have done nothing wrong. We need to show that we won't back down, Prime Minister, just look at what they are doing to those shrimp fisherman right now. They took them hostage essentially, and will run them through a kangaroo court, and if they have any sense to just imprison them and not kill them--this was from a NABC report on the Langie state television news network. This is the thin end of the wedge, Prime Minister. Next they'll start making the UC Canal Zone at Panama begging for more anti-air units and anti-tank weapons, even have regular air patrols, and now they are making ridiculous responses at the OAS for our defenses of our own sovereignty," remarked Larue, waving a paper printout of a NABC news article update on the Ursula Affair. "They are having exercises, as our satellite photographs indicate, but even military movements for practice makes one's neighbors bite their nails. In addition to the Langies, Prime Minster, the Piikalans launched a space rocket--Norad is getting in a huff," remarked the Air Chief Marshal. "Tell the Langie planes to stand down and that they are intruding in NAU airspace, and have the Kestrel launch more fighters to indicate we are serious," ordered the most powerful first minister of the United Commonwealth.
"Yes, Prime Minister," said ACM Turgidson.
As this was carried out, the other members of the DCS and the General Cabinet Committee on Security Intelligence arrived at Cadogan House, and the Prime Minister left the Comms Room to head to the Square Room, the cabinet conference room. It held a round oak conference table and had 21 chairs around it for the Ministers of the Crown and about 12 for the junior ministerial positions of Secretaries of State and any invited guests to Cabinet. The General CCSI and the DSC all sat at the conference table, made out of oak of the ship of that carried the first imperial expeditions to the North Pole and the South Pole, the HMS Fortitude.*** The Secretary of State for Ibero-American and Pan-American Relations was also summoned, to give his opinion on what should be our argument at the upcoming OAS Summit in Mexico City.
The CCSI and DCS deliberated on a coordinated diplomatic and military strategy for the next twenty minutes when it was interrupted by the developing situation in the Caribbean.

Skies over the Caribbean Sea, Near Trinidad and Tobago

Lieutenant Jacobs of his Sea Wasp FGR.3, callsign Talon Leader of the Talon Section of the 528 Naval Air Squadron of the Royal North American Navy Fleet Air Arm Kestrel FAA Complement, with his wingman Lieutenant Hawke, Talon 1 and having the same kind of aerocraft, banked right as they were free of the catapult launch sequence of the HMNAS Kestrel. The lead ship of its namesake class of multipurpose aerocraft carriers to support the supercarrier of the Atlantic-Arctic fleet and Caribbean home squadron, the HMNAS Benjamin Franklin.
The two Sea Wasps accelerated towards to where the two Langie bandits were predicted to be, just two miles off the coast of Trinidad and 24,000 feet in the air. AEW aerocraft Sankey 1, an Imperial Electric Darter AEW.7, helped provide airborne warning and assistance to Talon Section's active aeroplanes engaging the Langie bandits.
Talon's active detail was hailed by the Langie fighters: "Attention unidentified aircraft. You are interfering with a live-fire military exercise. Such an interference could result in a possibly fatal accident. Please leave us be."
Talon Leader replied: "Attention Langenian aerocraft, this is the Royal North American Navy. You are intruding into North American Union airspace. Exit NAU airspace and return to your own airspace. I say again, this is the Royal North American Navy. You are intruding into North American Union airspace. Exit NAU airspace and return to your own airspace. This is too close to NAU territory and airspace for such exercises." Talon 1's Weapon Systems Officer, Sub-Lieutenant Walker, was doing a quick check of missile systems in case the chips were going to be down a minute or so. She imagined her counterpart on Talon 2, Sub-Lieutenant Guzman would be doing the same thing.
Talon 1 was informed by the Kestrel that the rest of Talon Section and the whole Vulture Section were launching to assist, help put a period on Talon Leader's statement. 5 minutes for the rest of Talon, 10 for Vulture.
Talon detail waited for a response from the Langenian aircraft.
Meanwhile, one of the Kestrel's supporting vessels, the Liberty-class guided missile anti-air and anti-missile destroyer HMNAS Virtue was monitoring the situation, about 20 miles northwest away from Talon and 10 miles north from the Kestrel. The captain of the Virtue was contacting the Kestrel to request permission to ready VLS cells of anti-air missiles, just in case.
Andersen hoped he wouldn't have to give such an order. "Let's wait for what the Langies have to say."
*Frenchian economics is the free market ideological reaction to Morrisian economics, which is like Keynesian economics; they both came about during the Great Slump era of 1925 to mid-1930s.

As the Piikalan diplomat made his way through the airport, he would find people waiting on him. At the baggage claim right after the spot where the travelers passed through immigration was a group of men. In particular, one of them bore a poster with the name of the Piikalan diplomat on it. This group of men was a delegation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with orders to pick him up and take him to the building of that Ministry in Aragon. There, he would be provided with a place to rest and fed with a meal, but after that, meet with Langenian diplomats.

Takeno Tuaji walks to immigration the sound of his Geta making a clicking noise on the floor with each step. While he carefully tows his bags behind him, he reaches into the pocket on his dark black kimono and pulls out his diplomatic passport, a small orange book with a gold stamp of the imperial crest(the symbol on the Piikalan flag) stamped onto the center hands it over to the immigration official and passes through. After walking through immigration, he goes to the restroom, where he pulls out his ceremonial Katana and Lei-o-mano. He ties onto his Hakama belt the ornately decorated Katana that has in silver inlaid his name and military accomplishments from his national service tour in eastern China where he fought in the battle of Jiuquan against the Republic of China rebels and single-handedly destroyed a platoon of Chinese troops with his Katana along with his Lei-o-mano a large piece of Koa wood with shark teeth etched into each tooth the name of a Piikalan Shinto god. After securing his ceremonial weapons, he takes out his government-issued phone calls to his bosses in Piikala to notify them of his arrival. The thin, wiry Tuaji walks through leaves the restroom with his weapons at his side that look almost comically large on him; he heads to get his bag puts everything on a pushcart. He then walks out of the airport, where he sees the men walk over to them and bows and says in a Madrid accented Spanish, "Buenos Dias gentlemen. I am Tuaji Takeno, and thank you for picking me up. Here let me give you a little gift." Tuaji reaches into his kimono and pulls out several cigars that he hands to the men, then offers to light it for them

Most of the group politely declined the cigars, but a couple accepted them and accepted the offer to light the cigars. Outside was a waiting SUV. The men motion to the Piikalan diplomat to follow them, discreetly. Reciprocating his gift, he is offered a thermos of Colombian coffee by one of the men, who inform of what it is and how good it tastes. The sun begins to set. Aragon darkens, the day ends, preparing for another day of conflict tomorrow.

Dean Fairchild, All-Union Minister of External and United Commonwealth Affairs, was used to being hammered by reporters. He was a politician, and a politician dangled answers like treats or food to a pack of wild animals. There were the sympathetic outlets, and there were the ones out to undermine and critique every god damn last detail, all for points to score back home.
His NAUPOL protection team looked on in the crowd for any troublemakers, as well as the OAS security forces. Some Mexico City police were checking on some diplomatic plates at the front desk of the lobby.
Fairchild carefully gave slightly deflecting answers to reporters' questions on the Ursula Affair and the recent military flashpoint until he was asked by a Piikalan press member, judging by the flag on his nametag. He said he was from the Rising Sun newspaper, and he asked about the leaked diplomatic cables.
"I am afraid you have been misinformed by your sources about any diplomatic leaks, Mr...." responded Fairchild. Flashes of photography continued to attack the External Affairs Minister. He must look cool and composed, to anyone, to any political or media interests. This guy was bluffing; lots of reporters like to catch someone off guard.

Rising Sun International Affairs reporter Chu Tan says in British accented English, "I am Mr. Chu Tan from the Rising Suns Phillidelphia office. I have received information from my colleagues in the Imperial States that would prove otherwise Minister Fairchild." Mr. Chu, while talking, pulls out a document from his sachel bag he has next to him and continues saying, "This document I have here is from your Ministry and clearly states to be expecting company from M13 who are to be stationed at your embassy in Aragon as 'sanitation workers.' With you yourself, minister saying in this record to not interfere with them and let them do their job for the crown." Mr. Chu then hands the minister a copy of a series of emails between the Ministry's staff and diplomats time-stamped several months ago. The agent's names are clearly mentioned in the document. With a small Wikileaks icon in the upper right-hand corner of the document. Mr. Chu then pulls out a large binder full of papers and says, "Would you care to have me read the summary of the rest of these papers to everyone, Minister Fairchild?"

Delegation Offices Floor, South American Office, Infront of the Printer room
5:02 PM, 16th of February, 2020
Piikalan Agent Mei Liang carefully mopped the marble-floored hallway near the printer room. Mei Liang worked for the past six months as a janitor at the OAS building in Mexico, where she quickly became a common sight for the workers at the building. With Mei Ling having arrived in Mexico under a forged La Platan credentials as a Sakura Nakajima from Buenos Aires, upon arriving in Mexico, she got Mexican citizenship and credentials for her work at the OAS building, easily passing their background checks and security interviews all for the next few minutes of work. Suddenly a tired-looking younger woman who Mei Liang knew worked as the speechwriter for the Langenian delegation walked into the printer room and closed the door behind her. Mei Liang suddenly went into action, carefully adding some extra soap to her mopping bucket; she then starts to mop the door outside of the printing room with the slippery of soap and water. Mei Liang then carefully works her way down the hallway mopping it thoroughly, acting like she's just doing her normal job. Suddenly, the printer room door opens, and the lady steps onto the floor, taking a few steps before she slips and falls, causing her papers to go flying into the air. Mei Liang suddenly springs into action, rushing over to the young woman talking in a La Platan accented Spanish she asks the young woman if she's alright. While helping her collect her spilled papers, Mei Liang pulls out several papers outlining the UBC's spying actions in Langenia and several emails and links to phone call recordings where UBC diplomats and UBC government workers make fun of and insult the Langnain government and its military leaders in particular. Mei Liang then helps the woman up, handing her the papers she picked up.

Dean Fairchild looked down at the correspondent's paper stack in his hand. He had received intelligence earlier from GCSE and MI3 that was potentially a data breach originally thought to have been limited to several NAU defense contractors. However, intelligence officers were somewhat convinced that External Affairs servers connected to the contractors' servers (for defense exports planning) were also compromised due to a time-limited worm virus that could have spread. This attack was more than Wikileaks' work.
But of course, this guy could be bluffing about the extent of data and documents gathered. He even had him on script saying something about damn spies in Aragon, but he couldn't remember if he said it or the chief of MI3 at the time. But if Wikileaks is behind this breach, and this guy is just trying to embarrass the NAU and United Commonwealth at the summit, serving his own masters and possibly assisting Langenia? Piikala is the next greatest rival to the United Commonwealth, but if they work together, this changes things. But from the looks of things of Chu's stack of papers. Those were official. Damn.
"Mr. Chu, if those are official NAU diplomatic documents released by Wikileaks, then I wonder when they will publish unflattering words of Piikalan officials? Will you jump to the defense of your state bankrollers and help them discredit the reports, being the mouthpiece of an authoritarian regime, or will you try being a real journalist instead of harassing people and being a propagandist?" Fairchild walked away briskly with his security detail towards the elevator. The OAS security guards assembled in front of the press corps with arms stretched out as they all asked questions of the NAU Minister of External Affairs. The rest of the press corps also asked Mr. Chu questions, asking real diplomatic cables and his opinion on future Wikileaks releases. Phone calls were also made to media headquarters in nations all over the world of potential Wikileaks releases.
