New Freedomstan wrote:The military convoy made their way up the dirt-roads leading into the seemingly inconspicious valley. Official Nefreedian reports said that the area was dangerous to civilians due to background radiation and nuclear weapons testing. This was, of course, a stretched truth at best. Four transports made their way, and soon the passengers could see the large installation right by the mountainside. It was a Labour Camp, tucked away outside of reach. Of course, this camp had a very special purpose.
Written in Nefreedian over the only entrance, with five metre tall walls of solid concrete on both sides, was written "Labour Camp #173" and the symbol of the People's Civilian Commissariat on it. The heavy doors opened, and the passengers stepped out. It was mostly military personnel, but lastly the Acting Head of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of New Freedomstan (the de facto absolute leader of the country) stepped out. "Comrade 1" wore remarkably thin clothing considering the temperature. A simple grey overall, unadorned. The man himself was of average height, and average build. His eyes were grey, and he had a small black beard with hints of greying. He stood still for a moment, until a camp commissar stepped up and saluted.
"Comrade," the commissar said "We have been expecting you. We were finished last week."
"Good, Commissar-Commander 374-292" Comrade 1 said, remembering the camp commander's name.
"You want to see it, Comrade?" 374-292 said
"I didn't travel by car from People's Collective #12 to see the mountainside."
374-292 nodded, and led the way. Most of the soldiers remained, but six or so followed Comrade 1 and the commissar. Along with them, three men and one woman followed as well. They weren't in uniform, but in simple grey overalls. The inmates had all been locked into their barracks for the duration of the visit, but some looked out from the windows. There were roughly five hundred inmates, and about four dozen commissars, in this Labour Camp. Most of the inmates were murderers, terrorists and serial rapists.
The commissar-commander led Comrade 1 and his entourage to a rather large entrance that went into the mountain. Within were a gigantic hall, revealing that this side of the mountain wasn't actually a mountain. The top of the hall could be opened at any time. Within were two huge rockets.
"Have they been tested?" Comrade 1 asked
"Of course, comrade." 374-292 replied "There used to be three."
"And it went well?"
"Yes, comrade. Completely."
"Good. What do you think, comrades?" Comrade 1 asked, and approached the four persons also wearing similar grey overalls.
"It certainly looks like it is of quality," one of them replied, a rather tall man "But how can we be sure the inmates haven't saboutaged?"
"The inmates haven't actually assembled it," 374-292 "Our team of engineers have done that."
"Then why build it at the camp?" the man asked
"Someone had to carve out this area, carry the parts as well as build some of it." 374-292 replied
"How many of the inmates perished?" Comrade 1 asked
"Only three, comrade."
"Commissar-Commander." Comrade 1 said calmly "This was supposed to be a death penalty. We cannot have untrustworthy... personnel revealing any information about our project. And my reports indicate that only 60% of the engineers are trustworthy. The remaining 40%..."
"Under... understood, Comrade. I'll be dealing with..." 374-292 started
"That won't be necessary, Commissar-Commander." Comrade 1 said "I know about your... unwillingness to do what is necessary. My troops are dealing with the problems as we speak. Otherwise, you have done a splendid job."
"Thank... thank you, Comrade."

TV transmission from the national news broadcast:
Our heroic security personnel have, despite great adversity from Anti-Socialist elements, been able to assist our allies in North Colitas with suppressing the Antiquity student uprising.
In other news, the Nefreedian Space Agency have declared that construction and experiments with construction of the GPR-03 rockets have finished. Comrade 1 himself has inspected the new craft and in a public speech said that this once more shows the superiority of New Freedomstani science and economy compared to our backwards capitalist neighbours. This is truly one of the finest marvels of Nefreedian science, which will take Socialism to Space.
The brave cosmonauts 378-284 782-385, Roger McMillan, 847-458 384-122 and Vladimir Baranov will be boarding the GPR-03 rockets' maiden voyage to Mars. New Freedomstan will be the first paradoxian country on the Red planet, and the Nefreedian Space Agency have published the Nefreedian plans of establishing permanent colonies on the red planet.

Kreigsberg City
Falkenberg sat idily reading through some reports. Mostly about the troops in Crawnaft making preparations to leave. There was a interesting report on the rivalry that was emerging in terms of space traval, but that would have to wait.
The leader of the Kingdom was here for a meeting.

Machtergreifung wrote:Falkenberg was informed of the arrival of the party by one of his bodyguards using old Hegemonic Battle Language, a form of communication using hand signals.
As the heavy oak doors swung open, Falkenberg stood, turned to the door and put on a smile.
"Madam Katrina, I have been await you. I think we have much to discuss. Please be seated." Falkenberg waved lacconicaly at two pairs of lounge chairs around a coffee table, much better for discussions than the bulky desk of the Hegemon.
Both seated, Falkenberg began. "I cant express my joy at your decision to call a end to the fighting. Prolonging it for any number of weeks would have meerly resulted in a waste for all involved. As a result of your reasonableness is ending hostilites, I can give you my personal word, that all I can do as Hegemon, that we will stay out of all conflicts in Paradoxia for the time being."
Taking a sip of water, Falkenberg continued. "Would you care to speak your peice?"

Machtergreifung wrote:Falkenberg was not one to underestimate a rival head of state, even a defeated one.
"I detect a underlying level of anger in your voice Madam Katrina. Need I remind you that your nation got itself involved in its affairs on its own accord. Just as the situation has turned for the worse for the Kingdom, you accepted terms. We are willing to listen to reason, and your nations agreement to our terms has, without doubt, saved it from much harsher terms."
"But this aside, I would like to enoucrage you to pressure Crawnaft into a acceptance of the terms we have agreed on. Let us consider facts. The Hegemony occupies a large area of Crawnaft, and it will take a supreme effort, in men, material and resources, to remove us, and then to face a invasion of the Hegemony itself. One thing I have learned in politics is that regardless of popular opinion, is that a harsh peace is better than mild war. I hope the Kingdom is not foolish enough to take this advice and attempt such a idiotic move as to re-commence fighting."
"If there is any way in which the Hegemony can aid the Kingdom in its own problems, we would be happy to assist. A isolationalist Kingdom is something which the Hegemony would like to see, as it mirrors our own plans for development. As you will be aware, we are currently engaged in a space program to expand beyond this planet, and so will be diverting resources to fund this program. Of cource, the Kingdom would be welcome to join, abiet as a junior partner in this scheme. What would be your thoughts on that?"

Diplomatic Announcement - Machergreifung Space Corps
Due to the high-profile nature of the MSS (Machtergreifung Space Station/Ship) Cosmos in near-earth orbit, the Hegemony demands that all rocket flights conducted by national space agencies in Paradoixa be logged with Machtergreifung prior to launch. This is meerly a security measure, as the Hegemony is unwilling to lose such a large investment in any incidents.
Un-notifed rocket launches will immediatly be intercepted and destroyed regardless of nature if they pose possibly any threat to the MSS Cosmos.

Public Diplomatic Communication
We will not. You cannot absolve yourself of the consequenses. If a single Nefreedian rocket is fired upon or in any way sabotaged by Machtergreifung, we will be in a state of war. Space is not the territory of Machtergreifung.
Idiot. He needs to know what he will face if he pushes Crawnaft.
"In this case, You are wrong Hegemon. I will be frank, if my people see me as cooperating with the Hegemony, I will be dead, or exiled. The Military Forces of the Kingdom, faced with the choice of obeying me or obeying their fellow citizens will choose to obey their peers. If the Military Government falls, a Fascist, or Socialist Government will emerge, and there is a 100% chance it will ally with Ishgar or Freedomstan and a 100% chance it will move to war with the Hegemony. While you can hold against the Kingdom and Crawnaft, do you really think your nation can hold against the might of Ishgar or Freedomstan?"
"Let me remind you that the Kingdom has not withdrawn any of its forces from Crawnaft. The Crawnaftian Government will decide in time, whether to choose to accept the terms or not. And a Joint Space Program between the Kingdom and the Hegemony is as good as a death sentence for me. Let me remind you that I intend to thaw relations with Ishgar and Freedomstan, and the Kingdom will not accept being threatened by the Hegemony."
USoP Diplomatic Messenger arrives.
"Heh. This announcement you release reeks of the Hegemony attempting to dominate Outer Space."
Another USoP Diplomatic Messenger arrives.
"If a state of war occurs with Freedomstan and the Hegemony, the Kingdom recognizes and will take various actions to support the Freedomstani position of Outer Space being for all peoples of the Earth, to explore, and build Peaceful colonies."
Announcement from the Hanseatic League of Northern Bigfootia
In twelve hours, the Hanseatic League will begin a series of rocket launches from its Reika Island facility. In order to avoid accidents, we declare the air surrounding the island and its eastern vicinity to be a temporary no-fly zone; all unregistered flights are to avoid the area specified. This restriction will be removed with the conclusion of final launch operations in the following days.

"Working with the Hegemony is simply political suicide in the political climate, but since the Hegemon is elected for life, you wouldn't understand the necessary measures needed to remain in power. However, concerning the Crawnaftian War, I expect no less from the Hegemony regarding the troop positions."
"I have one other proposal to present, the creation of a Regional Space Agency of some sort, to help assist National Space Programs in providing data between each other."
