NAF retracts condemnation until further investigation reveals exactly what happened. NAF maintains neutrality and NAPs with all parties.

Congressman Bush is quoted as saying "Golly gee! This space stuff sure is confusing!!!"

Oh spare us Sweden. Our space navy is medium BTW, and don't underestimate it. With Italy's help we shall see who's space navy is obliterated.

(ooc:You took your people off Sweden that quickly? I don't think that's humanly possible)

If you took everything valuable from Sweden, then I guess you won't want to return to it. That's fine because we're thinking of Nuking the whole thing anyway. Less to worry about.

Swedish vessels with passengers attempting to escape will be destroyed. Just a heads up.

I have ascertained that there is at least 1 space ready base in the panama area if they got the nuke or the warhead even out they could get it into space.

Within a couple of months it should be possible. All vessels are armed and have escort. Don´t you underestimate our space fleet. You are using neo-spitfire if I am not mistaken. We on the other hand are using the neo-spitfire mark 2. We also have the BAMSE rocket. As an arms devolper me know what we talk about. We also want to let you know that your planet-to planet nukes(what is the name again?) can be shot down.
ULS: I thought russia was a democracy. Isn´t it legal to move if you are a citizen of a democracy.

Perhaps someone could assist me in this war that Australia started. BTW all craft escorting your settlers are now shot down.

that was occ.

the ULS has no place in theis conflict i have no alliances with either nation. The ULS however warns either nation against threatening her as she is to space as fish are to the sea. particularry large, violent fish.

REALITY CHECK:
Even if Sweden only claimed all of the land, setting all that up is a lot for a tiny ntion to do in one year.

I will be gone over the weekend so please dont have the UN meet yet! During that tiem Mars will be working on 3 projects:
1. A modest version of the defense station mentioned earlier, takes 3 years.
2. Slow settlement of unclaimed mars, all will be colonized in 6 years.
3. Colonization of the asteroid belt. A large base has already been built on Eros, which, wlthough an asteroid, is big enough to be a moon. 10 large asteroid will have small bases in 3 years.

Mars condemns Sweden, but unfrtunately will be gone over the weekend so does not declare war (but I would if I could manage it all over the weekend).

A special legislative investigation has discovered previously unknown life on Pluto, which is also found in small quantities on uranus and neptune. They suspect it is intelligent and nonhuman.

OOC: this is in response to metaliturtle's post.

Somewhere in the Labrynth amid heavy gunfire:

"General Carlos! We have to retreat! The Incans are too many!"

"No, we've already retreated too far! We need to take that corridor back!"

"Sir, we're taking heavy casualties, we can't sustain this! We'll be slaughtered!"

"You don't understand Major! That corridor leads to the launch control room!"

The threat of nuclear war has always been a part of the American psyche ever since the Nuclear Holocaust. The Major had lost his wife and children in New York. He didn't need any more convincing. Gathering his troops together, they numbered less than thirty, but they were determined. Over a hundred Incans stood in their way. There was a forty foot open zone where dozens of bodies already lay. They knew that most of them would not survive this assault.

"Major, you need every man you can get. Give me a rifle." General Carlos had emptied his own pistol hours ago in the initial retreat.

"General, this is no time for heroics. I know you're brave, but someone has to hit the silos themselves in case we fail. You're the only one who knows how to get there. I'll give you Edwards here, he'll watch your back. Good luck sir and God speed!"

Before the General had a chance to reply, the Major turned and led his men up the tunnel to the control room. He had only a moment to see the Major fall in a burst of gunfire before Edwards pulled him away.


The Major lay there bubbling blood from a dozen chest wounds. As his life ebbed away, he saw five of his marines breached the control room doors. The rest of his men lay dying around him but he knew those few boys could be counted on. As his eyes closed for the last time, he felt the shaking explosion as the five marines destroyed the control room along with themselves. A sacrifice for the good of the world.


The Incan commander cursed - the assault lasted less than twenty seconds - but the damage was done. Three of his men were dead and six wounded, compared to thirty marines, but the control room was totally scrapped. He would have to go after the nukes in the silos - except he had no idea where they were. Finding the control room had been a stroke of luck as it was, now it seemed luck was against him. Still, while most of the Incan army was well into Nicaragua by now, he still outnumbered the Canamerxicans by a fifty to one.


General Carlos and Pvt. Edwards raced down the dark tunnels ignoring the loud clanking sounds their boots made against the metal grid. They couldn't afford to be silent - time was of the essence!

OOC: HOLY COW!
Ummmpf

IC:
"Mr. Emperor" declared Raffaello "the new borned nation of Sweden in Antarctica managed to colonize Io and claim all of Jupiter with moon as part of Sweden"

"That sure was a lot of an effort for Sweden"

"Yes sire, but the part that interest us is that once Australian ships full of COLONIST approached Europa, the Swedish Spacefleet fired on them and killed many Australian Civilians"

"What?? THAT IS AN ACT OF WAR AGAINST OUR ETERNAL ALLIES: THE AUSTRALIANS"

"Yes sire, Mrs Hetkins already declared war on Sweden and asked for our support"

"Tell Mrs Hetkins that Italy will join the war at the same side of Australia, Italian spaceships 80% of the Italian Spacefleet is now leaving the moon in order to invade Io, Dispatch there the Infantry Squads "Brigate", "San Pietro", "II-34" and "Irriducibili" "

"Sire that is over 400.000 mens to invade Io, it looks like a big operations to me"

"The Man are to stay on our Moon bases, they will be transported there by the remaining of our Spacefleet, once we will bomb the crap out of Io, they will move for an invasion"

"Yes sire"

"For what concerns the Antarctic Sweden, we will send there our newly produced V-23! This is an aircraft that copy the design of the Russian F-Mig-100, which we bought from them prior to the Incan War, builted using Leonardicum, they are practically Invincible, they will sure give a very hard time to the Swedish Air Force"

"Yes sire, it will be done sire"

"Send also those diplomatic letters:"

Quote:
To Canamerxico: We will gladly sign a NAP with your fiendly nation, although we must decline your offer to join into your peacekeeping forces, since we have lots of trouble going on with Sweden, we will though, allow the Peacekeeping Forces to use the Galapagos Island, and any Italian Troops already present in there, I put those troops and ships under Canamerxican command, for the time we will not be involved into the Peacekeeping Force, once we will be able to join you, and your allies into this Peace Force, we will take command back over those troops, or whatever remain of them.

To All leaders of the world: Italy just decided to publicize her projects to colonize Venus under Italian and Australian Flags, On the northern Emisphere, the one that will be under Italy, we will build a little International Space Dock, where ships from all nationality will be allowed to refuel, and to rest. Although, we hope you will not claim any land on Venus as it is almost completely colonized by Italy and Australia, we expect to end our colonization there in 1 years from today.

To Inca Repubblic: Italy recognize your government as the only one in power in Incaland, you will have the support of Italy, and we disapprove any actions undertaken by rebel scum.
Italian troops will, for the moment, take part on the Peacekeeping Force under Canamerxican command.

OOC: I hope I addressed everything!

"Sir are you sure about those orders?" The marine asked.
"Yeah, they came from the President himself, we're supposed to march down there and do to the incans what they've been doing to the yanks."The Commander said, leading is troops to the dark underworld.
The first stop was the Circut breakers they dsabled the lights agressively, leaving only a charred wall behind them.
"Strap on your night vision goggles and watch for flashers."
"Think the Incans have Night Vision?"
"Of course they do"
"Better get our flashers out too then."The Incans still outnumbered the Allied forces in the labyrnith even with the ULS reinforcements. Onward the Group moved, leapfrogging to the control room.
"There's nothing left sir."
"magnificent, the Incans won't be launching anything..."The major trailed off he was the highest ranking officer in the group.
"unless they get to the silos"his second in command finished.
The group proceeded, following the map the NAF emmisarry had given them. suddenly ahead of them they heard something. a loud, constant marching on the metal walkway. a lot of people were moving.
"Think they know where they're going?"
"No way, they're going the wrong way, split the group up half go that way and the other half come with me to the silos to defend."

After the Major was gone the silent forces began moving up the other walkway. the Incans wore their goggles over their eyes, no flashlights so as not to give clues to the North Americans or any other forces. The commander made a motion with his hand and shouted.
"Close your eyes"
the Incans didn't get the meaning of his words but looked toward the source, and the flasher grenade. The front three lines were blinded the rest then dropped to a defensive formation the ULS forces had a huge advantage with their surprise, but were still outnumbered. as The survivors of both groups limped or ran off the commander checked his hand where he had held the map the major had given him. it was gone and a quick check proved that it was nowhere near.....

In my initial post on colonization of Jupiter and it´s moons I said that automatic defense systems were set up on all moons and Jupiter. They would fire on all non swedish ships if they entered athmosphere!

NAF Emergency (SECRET) Message to ULS:

We've negated the control room, but the silos are spread out over 51 miles. We've only disabled TWO so far with Spec OPS and brave work by General Carlos and Pvt Edwards. Reports are that FOUR of the other FIVE have been captured by INCAN REBELS.

Drop the bomb! Do it now! We can't afford the risk!

A pair of marines were stationed outside the facility. watching for Incan reinforcements. They saw a blaze in the sky.
"hey look a shooting star, make a wish."
"What a stupid thing to do."the other commented.
"Well I'll wish for peace on earth."
"Dumba$$"
"Well it would be nice, too damn many deaths, we can't afford it, what if it goes nuclear again?"

The Penatration was optimal, the designers would have been proud, at least if it weren't for the fact that 50 of their countrimen, elite millitary men nonetheless, were destroyed by it's radioactive fires. also according to it's design the ground absorbed most of the radiation and there was very little outside of the five target areas. (Not neccesarily bomb locations but nerve centers) The Labyrnith was demolished. Half of the rebelling forces were destroyed. the Nicaraguan offensive was uninturrupted.

A very sollemn funeral was held for those who died in the bombing. Pres. Pluto expresses his regrets.

You seem to be mistaking me for the Usurper. Although I do share a bit of the ideas of teh Martian Way, there is a huge difference between to two situations. First, we were/are native to Mars. Second, we control a very large portion of Mars. As a result, our claims on Mars are approximately 749% more legitimate than Swedish claims on Jupiter.

I know that was ooc but I responding to it IC anyways, it's more fun . But ooc, surely you know that that was just an attempt to cause interesting diplomacy and lots of fun (And it did result in the best diplomacy of any NES so far...)

OOC: Ok, the EMP grenades is a SECRET project, so you guys don't know yet, i'll ignore the bit about it.

Military Actions

The UK has launched several CAMs into the bulk of the rebel Incans, the explosions much like a meteorite impact creative massive shockwaves and choking dust, killing all soldiers in the few miles around the blast. Estimated Incan losses are several hundread thousand, more reports will not be known till later.

After the CAMs were launched the UK along with Camerixco forces led a counter-attack on the Incans, regaining some ground they had lost recently, Incan casualties are high but they just keep coming...

Some Armor divisions shipped to Incan capitol to help in the peacekeeping forces, not enough to stop anything more a show of support then anything else.

A 10th of the UK space fleet along with colinization vessels was sent to Jupiter, to colonize the northwest section of it. Some minor automated defenses were destroyed, but because of the naval superiority none were loss.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Sweden

We do not accept your claim to ALL of Jupiter and its moons, and the UK itself has claimed the northwestern part of Jupiter. We even now preparing it and landing colonists. I have sent a 10th of our might space navy, more then enough to deal with you should you even attempt an attack. If you do such an attack the UK will no longer reconize you as an independent nation and treat you just as common criminals, no mercy will me shown to any one of you found then.

However, if you acknowledge our new colony, I will sign a NAP pact with you, since it seems you have your hands full with other nations. It is up to you to decide.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Research/Construction Continuing on Schedule.

SUMMARY
Military actions taken against Incan land and minor agains Sweden.
Jupiter colonized in northwest section.
Diplomatic message sent to Sweden.
SECRET Ambrosia Project research time- 1 year
Stonehenge construction time-3-5 years

Military Communique (Secret) to ULS:
Surviving ground troops have confirmed ALL nukes destroyed.

Since it was a bunker buster, it drove deep underground before detonating. Therefore, the fireball was mostly contained and fallout limited to the immediate area (soil and rock debris captured it and buried it). Fallout zone is small and no threat of major spread beyond Panama. Full damage to Labrynth unknown but we don't expect much remains. Full report to follow soon.

We mourn the soldiers who perished, including the brave General Carlos, Pvt. Edwards, Labrynth defenders, Spec Ops, and all ULS troops.

Though you have done us a favour, the public does not know we have asked this of you and probably won't believe it. The anti-ULS rhetoric to come will be strong, but know that the NAF military is indebted to you. We know the truth. The politicians will howl and rage, but the military will never take ANY action against you. Already this event threatens to tear apart the NAF, but do not fear. We will resolve this internally.

NAF High Council (NOT secret) to ULS:

You have dropped a NUCLEAR weapon on NAF territory destroying the Panama Fortress and killing thousands of NAF troops! This cannot be condoned!

We demand an immediate explanation and apology!



SWEDEN:
Even though we have an NAP, we must state that we cannot condone ANY action against the UK, whether automatic or not. The support they have shown in our recent war with the Incans will not be forgotten. We are still part of the Pact of Freedom (minus Russia), so we will defend our allies if attacked.

Reminder that though the US space fleet was medium and Canada's is medium, together as the NAF fleet, they are HUGE. Reluctant we are, but if the UK is attacked and asks us, we will go to war with you.


OOC: UK, I didn't mean the EMP grenades, I meant some kind of large scale EMP device. I figured you had to have one currently existing, or in the making, in order to develop the much smaller EMP grenades. We don't know about EMP grenades, just that your country have advanced EMP tech (that kind of info leaks out)

"Come to order! Come to order! This emergency meeting of the NAF Grand Assembly will come to order!"

The speaker hammered his gavel against the mahogany throne until the shouting and shuffling finally subsided.

"We are gathered here today, the entire Assembly composed of the US Congress, Canadian Parliament, and High Council to discuss the recent turn of events. Speaker recognizes Chancellor Trent."


The distinguished grey haired statesman rose from the sheaf of papers that surrounded him and looked around the room at the thousand representatives of the Continental Assembly.

"I stand before you today in the shadow of tragedy. The light that was just beginning to dawn on our nation was extinguished with the recent events in Panama. While it seems inconceivable how our nation, which has made it our prime doctrine to avert such a catastrophe as engulfed our nation more than two decades ago, has once again fallen victim to nuclear holocaust. While we have failed to uphold the mandate given to us by the people of this brave continent, we must take a reasoned approach. We owe it to our soldiers, and to our past - our heritage - to do what is right now.

I have heard rumours of retaliation and of cutting off contact with the ULS. I forcefully remind the Assembly that this would serve NO ONE and only harm us as a continent and as a people.

We should remember that this action by our allies the United Lunar States, SAVED lives. Nuclear weapons in the hands of the Incan rebels could have caused millions more deaths. It was the lesser of two evils and we should applaud them, not demonize them. Let us move towards a resolution of the conflict with the Inca and let nothing sway us from the good course we have laid these past years. We will have peace, we will have security, and we will have justice. "

The Chancellor sat down to scattered applause from his supporters and snorts of derision from his enemies. The majority of the Assembly simply lay silent and watched for the reactions of others.

"Thank you Chancellor Trent. Speaker now recognizes Prime Minister Young of Canada."

"Thank you Mr. Speaker. As representative for Canadian Parliament and the Canadian people, and in my duties as Commander-in-chief of the Canadian armed forces, I must ask, how did this come to happen? How did we ever lose control of the nuclear facility and how did the missiles ever get into the hands of the Incans without us destroying them first?"

"Speaker recognizes General Hogarth, Supreme Commander NAF Forces."

"Thank you Mr. Speaker. In response to your question Mr. Prime Minister, I'm afraid I have no good answers. We don't know why the auto-destructs on the nukes were disabled or how the Incans managed to find the silos so quickly. We have started a major investigation but we will not likely know for a year. Most of our witnesses were killed at Panama and the place is a wasteland. It will be hard collecting evidence. As well, we are still in a war with the Incans. While the IIF is down to less than half-strength, having lost more than a million confirmed casualties in our latest offensive with the UK and ULS, and although most of the IIF is in Nicaragua, Panama is still not a safe zone. The investigation takes a back seat to security concerns. I assure you that we will have a report for you in one year.

As for the silos in Honduras, we have rectified the situation and the nukes in Honduras have been equipped with triple automatic self-destructs fail-safes. We also have four levels of manual backup plans. It will not happen again."

"Speaker recognizes Congressman Julia of Honduras."

"We joined the United States of America for many reasons, but the key platform that won the referendum was protection from the Incans. I don't see this promise being kept. Given the recent events, we do not want to be overrun by Incans and hand over the keys to Honduras. We don't appear to be stopping them in Nicaragua. We have weapons of mass destruction, why not use them against the main concentration of the rebel Incan army?"

"Speaker recognizes Congressman Cortez of Nicaragua."

"Congressman Julia is mad! Nicaragua will not stand for this. Imagine if you will, if it was your state. Furthermore, it is our stated explicit aim to avoid nuclear detonation on Continental soil. Using weapons of mass destruction would be akin to nuclear holocaust. Biochemical weapons would slaughter indiscriminantly - there are millions of civilians still there - and the ground would be toxified for decades!"

Above the heated exchange that followed, the Speaker manages to quiet the Assembly. "Speaker recognizes Chancellor Trent!"

"With all due respect to those involved, there is no chance of us deploying any weapons of mass destruction against our own troops. This has always been against our policy and we have no intention of changing that. We will defeat the rebel IIF through conventional means. This discussion is closed."

"Speaker recognizes Senator Evensong of Texas."

"Is this why you asked the ULS to drop the nuke for you? Because you didn't want to have official responsibility? Because you wanted to hide your involvement with the plan?

We have reports indicating secret communiques between Supreme Commander Hogarth and the ULS Fleet! "

Senator Evensong motioned to his aides and an image was broadcast onto the holoscreens. It showed the communiques as well as spy tapes made of the Chancellor in discussion with SC Hogarth. A murmur spread through the assembly. This did not bode well for Trent or Hogarth.

"As you can see here, while illegally obtained, we also have evidence showing that you, Chancellor Trent, were aware of these communiques and did not stop Hogarth or the bombing."

"Speaker recognizes Chancellor Trent."

"And what would you have instead? Houston engulfed in nuclear flame? Los Angeles? Montreal? Mexico City? Because that's what would have happened if the Inc-"

"We could have shot them down! There were alternatives to dropping a bomb on your own people for god's sake! And if you had to do it, at least you could have had the balls to do it yourself instead of calling on your ULS lackeys!"

"Speaker does NOT recognize Senator Evensong! You will address the Chancellor with the respect due his position."

"I will do no such thing! In fact, I do not even recognize the Chancellor as having any authority whatsoever! I do not recognize this assembly, the council, or any continental governing body as having authority over the United States Congress!"

With that, Senator Evensong walked out of the assembly followed by his aides and the sixty members of the Isolationist Party.

What happened next took the Council and Assembly by surprise. Congressman Polk, along with the ninety members of the Manifest Destiny Party (traditional enemies of the Isolationists) followed Evensong out.

Even Congressman Maranos of Mexico, one of Trent's staunchest supporters, walked out with a sad look. He stopped by the Chancellors seat for but a moment. "Miles, you got us into this mess, I won't see you dig us any deeper. From now on, we'll take care of things ourselves. "

Two hundred and seventy American Congressman and Senators walked out along with a hundred Canadian MPs. Nearly forty percent of the Assembly had gone.

Trent stood bewildered. His dreams of the NAF had been crushed. "Arrest him!" Hogarth hissed. "Evensong will only cause trouble. Stamp this rebellion out now!"

But Trent merely stood there shaking his head. He was, if nothing else, an adherent of the law. "NAF won't be finalized for another month. The proto-Chancellor doesn't have that power. He has a right to walk out."

"Spirit of the law, not letter!" cried Hogarth. "You don't know what the consequences are!"

"Is this how I want the NAF to be founded? By bullying? Forcing elected representatives of a democracy to agree with me? Throwing them in jail for having their own consciences? Maybe I made a mistake. I should have ordered it myself and kept the ULS out of the bombing."

"It won't be founded at all at this rate! Evensong isn't going to go quietly!"

The assembly watched as Hogarth became more and more exasperated with Trent and stormed out.

Chancellor Trent pleaded with the rest to stay and work things out. The Assembly did not look convinced and the High Council had little hope. Trent was making little progress.

Then Hogarth returned with news. After hearing his message, Trent paled. The Assembly quieted down and waited in anticipation.

Evensong was talking to the media. Immediately following the news reports, the people took to the streets. Riots were breaking out and supporters of the NAF versus nationalistic patriots were getting into running battles. Police were helpless to stop such massive rioting and did not even know which side they were fighting for. Individual police chiefs, mayors, councillors, and military home guard commanders each declared their own allegiances.

Supreme Commander Hogarth was sent to rally the troops. He had to ensure that the military stayed loyal to NAF High Council.

Trent put the rioting on the main screen. As the Assembly watched the cities become engulfed in violence, their opinions of Senator Evensong hardened. The Assembly was shocked and angered when Commander NW Theatre sided with Evensong. Whatever the NAF's flaws, it could never justify civil war.

In four hours of fierce debate, the remainder of the Assembly had unanimously voted for a State of Emergency and declared their allegiance to the NAF procedure. Unfortunately, while they were unified behind the cause, they were not unified behind their leader. Trent was granted emergency powers by a vote of 445 to 221 - only narrowly passing the 2/3 requirement.

***
Summary:

IIF has maybe 1.5 million troops left. We suspect that they will soon surrender (1-2 yrs) or be eradicated.

NAF forces in Honduras haven't declared allegiance but either way will fight the IIF. Commander there have agreed to put aside all differences until after the IIF is defeated.

Massive rioting in all major continental cities.

Commander NW Theatre rebels (BC, Alberta, Sask., Alaska, Oregon, Washington).

Trent has been given emergency powers - civil liberties suspended.

Space Fleet is unsure of allegiance. They have no desire to bombard their own cities or each other. Staying out of it until one side starts winning.

NAF will be in DISORDER for some time. All diplomacy on hold except for emergencies.


OOC: In case you didn't catch it, the Senator sent Commander Garcia to help the Incans get the nukes so he could provoke this crisis and derail the NAF process. That he was willing to give the IIF the nukes should indicate his mental state.

ULS
The United Lunar States.

You must understand these things about us:
Our Millitary is small
Our Millitary is designed and trained for space warfare (Island hopping like tactics from dome to dome) we are excellent at that. put us on a planet though......
50 ULS troops were lost in the attack
those 50 troops were the most vetran of our forces trained for fighting on a planet.
All of our millitary forces are as effective as Special Ops teams
Our losses percentage wise were greater than yours
The Incans failed to get the nuclear weapons

President Pluto of the ULS formally apologises on the rebels behalf, when asked to apologise for the nuclear assault he refused saying:
"It was the best thing we could have done. Our NAF brethren agreed with us that it was for the best. i have no reason to apologise. Would you rather be nuclear dust?"

OOC: The whole special op's labyrnyth thing was fun to write.

"Oh My God!"
the people have turned to politics to vent their frustrations with the republic.

The Camera panned across a dusty S. American street, coming to rest on a figure in millitary garb with a mowhawk. Reperasentative Mimo Tencho, some called him the new Hitler, some called him an opprotunist, some called him their god.

"The National Ressurection group in Incaland has been gaining power for the past year. it wishes to use cloning and other outlawed technologies. they don't hold a majority yet, and are several seats from it, but at the rate that they're growing it is estimated that they will have a 75% majority in 3 years. They have already forced legislature to leagalise cloning the peacekeeping forces from other nations have been returned and the rebels have ended the fight and joined Mimo. The clones, currently used in the Industries to create the first Incan Battle cruiser are swelling in number. Since they are people they are allowed to vote and most have given tribute to those who allowed their creation. Legislarive actions to allow clones in the army is coming up next year."

The Incan Republic, same PM still, offers NAP's to any who will take them.

Remember:
Russia doesn't know about secret talks.

The Premeir says:
"i condemn the warmongering ULS and am ashamed that anyone in my alliance ever had anything to do with a nation so willing to let loose the dogs af nuclear war."

To The Incans:

Mother Russia will not support a growing fascism, i understand that you have no direct control over it but use propoganda or something against them.
