MINISTRY OF INTELLIGENCE
Stinpus Desk

Times had been very quiet on the Stinpus desk at the Ministry of Intelligence Headquarters. Desk Agent Anthony Magnusson had spent most of his days pouring over a few internet reports and rumors indicating that a rebel movement was gaining momentum. He had not found enough solid evidence to report anything.

He was startled when his desk telephone rang.

"Magnusson, here."

"Agent, Comm Room here, we need you to come down immediately. B-3."

"Very well."

Magnusson pulled on his jacket and left his desk, and boarded the elevator, pressing the button to take him to Sub-Level 3. He was amazed and a little concerned about being summoned to B-3, the inner-sanctum of MIntel.The elevator doors slid open and Magnusson was met by two guards standing before an impressive steel door.

"Good Morning, sir. How may we help you?" The taller of two guards spoke.

"I've been summoned to B-3. Anthony Magnusson."

The guard nodded and punched a few buttons on the computer terminal. He pressed a clipboard into Magnusson's hand. "Sign in with your service number, then step to the biometric panel. Have a good day."

He signed in and stepped to the panel on the right of the door. He slid his ID card into the reader, then placed his hand on the glass panel. He then pressed his face into the retinal scanner and the light above the door turned green and slid open.

A guard met him at the door. "Step this way please, agent."

He was led into the conference room at the end of the hallway and into the darkened room.

"Agent Magnusson, welcome to B-3. Please take a seat over here."

[Catonia Majora]

MINISTRY OF INTELLIGENCE-SITUATION ROOM B3

Anthony Magnusson surveyed the room. At one end, a huge television screen flashed up various world maps indicating situations occurring around the room. Aside from an aide, he was the first to arrive at the meeting.

"Have a seat there, please agent. Can I offer you something to drink?"

"Uh, no thank you. Who all is coming to this meeting?"

"I'm just the room aide, sir. It's my job to keep all this stuff running and make sure those making the decisions are comfortable. I'm all security clearance with none of the responsibility, sir."

A who's who of MIntel soon followed into the room, and took seats around the table.

Minister of Ajian Affairs Axel Arnadottir sat across the table with a few of his analysists. The Minister of Foreign Assets found his place and took his seat. Eventually, the Minister of Intelligence himself entered the room and sat at the head of the table.

A map of Stinpus was projected on the large screen, and the Ajian Minister stood and began the briefing.

"About 2 hours ago, one of our monitoring stations picked this up." The video played as the whole room watched. "We are unsure who this is and where this was shot, but the broadcast was too short to determine the location."

The Minister spoke up "Magnusson, have you heard any desk chatter about this?"

"Not much sir, nothing concrete. We've picked up some innuendo and scraps of information, but nothing to piece together yet. We know there has been some dischord of late, but we're pretty blind sided that any insurection has begun. To me, this looks like the beginning of something."

"The question is what's the next step, Assets?" asked the Minister.

"We have nothing on the ground in-country, sir, but we could insert someone if we decide."

The conversation of the various options continued until a little more was settled.

"Very well, we shall see what the Duchess says."

[Stinpus]

rebel diplomats using the forests as cover moved into gloenaxterian territory in attempt to get a better contact. they set up the best telecommunication they could although it ended up they could only get a one way message.

"hello to all those listening who here us this is a one way radio and we unable to get a visual. the rebel force have been driven into the the hills and forests we wish to remove the government and install a republic but we need support anything and everything will be of use. currently we are cannot reveal our location due to the stinputian intelligence agency. currently we unable to counter attack. anyone who catchs this vidoe should put it on the internet. comarade out."

[Globexanter]

Ten hours after the rebel video was put online,
09:45, Globexanter, Toulouse

At precisely forty-five minutes past nine, the local Government in the town of Toulouse released a statement regarding the growing popularity of a rebel faction of Stinpus.

The United Socialist States of Globexanter is deeply worried over the popular rise of an anti-Stinpusian Government video released onto the internet just over ten hours ago, even more so by the thought to be location from where it was actually released. A search into the subject by the GiG has estimated the location of the source of the uploading area of the video and text originating on the Globexanterian side of the border with Stinpus. In the interest of the national security of Globexanterian citizens in the nearby and general area, the GNF intends to secure the area of the forest thought to be the uploading point of the message. Civilians in the south-eastern areas around the Stinpusian border should expect a rapid and strong rise in the amount of military units as well as police patrols in the said areas, although it is unknown if there will be enemy contact or not.

Not long after the Globexanterian message had been released precisely 2,500 GNF soldiers had been informed to be assigned to the area around the border, as well as numerous armored and unarmored vehicles, as well as over fifty various helicopters, while an air force wing in the vicinity of the border on high alert for possible ground attack support.

[Stinpus]

upon seeing the patrols they though the easiest thing was to simply get themselves arrested and hope that contact was possible. so they walked out with their hands on their heads to the globexnaterian patrols.

"hello gentlemen we are part of the rebel faction we thought yoi guys might be able to arrest us." said the lead rebel commander.

[Bathyal]

EMPIRE OF BATHYAL - IMPERIAL HOT TUB

Darius Starr, The Emperor of Bathyal sighed as one of the innumerable Ministers came out onto the deck of the palace. Until now he had been enjoying the view of the lush verdant rainforest that spread out surrounding the palace for miles. He had been enjoying the attentions of two recent additions to the harem, concubines sent in tribute to Bathyal for joining the 10,000 Islands from neighboring islands.

"What is it now?" Darius looked up to the Minister, while motioning the concubines to continue,

"Your Majesty, we have been following recent events in Stinpus about the uprising of rebel forces. I think this would be an excellent time to make ourselves more visibly known for more than our top ten trout production, hedonistic lifestyle and being an environmental tourism paradise. We should issue a statement and provide aid." Minister Mal Boro said trying not to notice the actions of the concubines with the benevolent Emperor.

"I see, and you have disturbed me now, to tell me this? Could it not have waited until this afternoons meeting?"

"Your Majesty, the meeting was 2 hours ago." Mal stuttered nervously, eyes wide wondering how the human body could contort in such ways. He proceeded to fill in the Emperor on all details available, playing the recordings on the pad.

Darius sighed as he pondered, frequently distracted and rather enjoying making his Minister wait and watch. "Very well then. The Peoples Republic of Stinpus is a socialist economic powerhouse and also very eco friendly. They are not disagreeable to Bathyal at all. Make private offer of our Special Forces, The Hunters, in eliminating the rebellion in exchange for economic concessions, environmetal programs and tourism. Release a hard worded public statement condemning the rebels for environmental terrorism for cowardly using the forests to hide which is endangering the biodiversity of Stinpus... and whatever else you think is appropriate. Dismissed."

Mal turned to walk away when he heard the Emperor call again.

"And have a servant bring me another of these fruity drinks with an umbrella!"

[Central Ruska]

11:09, Chernyshevka Kremlin, Central Russia.

"Sir, We've received an alarming video broadcast from Rebel forces in Stinpus. Reports are sketchy but from what we can tell is that they are not doing so well," Sergei Vakhrushev reported, standing in front of the Premier's desk. He placed the dossier on the desk and gently pushed it towards the Premier. "Here are the KSB report files, We're unsure of who is leading the forces." He continued.

"Thank you Sergei, give me a minute to look them over." Alexander replied, picking up the documents and turned to face the window, there was a soft thud as the door closed. Alexander swiveled around in his chair, he paused briefly to look out the window, snow flakes gently drifted around in the cold spring air. Quickly rubbing his forehead, he returned to the dossier and began to read through the KSB reports. "Sergei," he called out, "Come here please." Sergei stepped back into the room and walked over to the desk. "Take these documents down to Dmitry Krylov's office please, and call for a meeting of council, Thank you." he continued, handing the dossier back over.

"Yes sir." Sergei responded, taking the dossier and giving a quick salute before making his way towards the door.

[Stinpus]

a third broadcast was sent out to prepare for a meeting "we have decided on a location at coordinates 46789071246 yo will find a red ford with the number plate 4GT6 76DS we will meet you there at 16:00 in ten days from this message,"

the stinputian government decided that it was time to address the world "it brings me much sorrow that a deadly terrorist group attacked and attempted to kill me right now the scum hide in the forests and hills as we speak we are bringing them to justice world make no mistake this is not something we take pleasure in." Alex sting said as the broadcast ended.

The government knew that this would not be an easy fight and right now they were sending each nation a telegram requesting them not to support the rebels in any way shape or form.

[Catonia Majora]

MINISTRY OF INTELLIGENCE

The assembled staffers and secretaries rose from their desks as the Minister himself appeared on the usually quiet floor and strode to the Stinpus duty desk. Anthony Magnusson had his head buried in the most recent information streaming in from the other side of the globe. Startled, he sprang to his feet as MIntel spoke to him.

"Good Morning Magnusson, gather yourself, we are going for a ride.". Magnusson stood and hastened to catch up with the Minister, who had already strode from the room and into the elevator. Outside, they stepped into the waiting Ministry staff car, which sped off down the Boulevard of Heroes.

"Sir, might I ask where we are going?"

"The Palace. Welcome to the big time Magnusson." MIntel handed him a thick binder. "Look over that and get familiar, you are briefing the Duchess herself within the hour."

Magnusson nearly choked. "Me? Sir?"

"Aye, you are the closest we have to an expert on Stinpus. Look, kid, Tell her what you know, keep it simple, answer her questions. You will be fine."

With that, Magnusson lowered his head and tried to digest as much information as he could as the car rushed to the Grand Palace. Too soon for Anthony's liking, the sedan stopped in front of the entrance to the Grand Palace. Two members of the Duchess' personal guard escorted the two men through the palace, down the long Hall of Honor, featuring its floor-to-ceiling portraits of the important people in Catonian history, and finally, through the doors and into the Grand Duchess' personal office. Had he not been so nervous, Magnusson would have noticed the grand art and statuary which decorated the large office, naturally lit by giant windows which gave a spectacular view of Caton Bay. He did notice the woman sitting behind the epic desk, said to be carved from the remnants of a Viking sailing ship. Her head was down, as she studied some assorted papers.

The guard spoke. "Your Majesty, Minister of Intelligence and Agent Anthony Magnusson."

She waved her hand without looking up. "Come in, gentlemen, sit down please.". She gestured to two ornate chairs which sat before her desk, and they sat. After a few long moments, the duchess looked up. "Very well, men, what have you?"

The Minister spoke up, "Your Grace, we are here to brief you on a situation in Stinpus, well, to be more exact, Agent Magnusson is here to brief you." He turned to the man next to him and gestured.

Anthony nearly froze as the Duchess turned her ice-blue eyes upon him. "Well, Your Majesty, yesterday, we intercepted a broadcast from a resistance group in Stinpus..." He went on for what seemed like an eternity, until he had finished giving all the information he knew. When he had finished, the Duchess stared at him for a long minute and moved her hand to her mouth.

"Magnusson, all of that I could read on my own. What is it that you think we should do?"

Anthony hoped the Minister would rescue him, but MIntel knew when the Duchess asked a question of someone, one did not interrupt, as she was taking her measure of the man.

"Uh, Your Majesty, the Ministry proposes to insert an intelligence team into Stinpus to gather data on who exactly these rebels are and where they stand, and then, we will be able to act from our knowledge to support our interests."

The Duchess nodded, "but why should we do this? Stinpus outnumbers us more than 10 to 1 in population, if we anger them, they could crush us easily."

Magnusson thought for a moment and spoke. "Your Grace, I watched your speech at the Winter Ball, and spoke of our nation's grand past and your desire to see us take our place on the world stage. This is an opportunity for us to do just that. Now, we could stay safe here on our little island wrapped up in our eons of tradition, or we could strike out and show the world our glory."

The Grand Duchess was quiet for a long minute. Typically, people did not speak so directly to her. She looked up at the Minister.

"Where did you find this one? I like a man who speaks his mind." She turned to Magnusson, "I shall expect a full report on your adventures in Stinpus upon your return."

"But Your Majesty, I am not a field agent, I am only a desk agent."

The Duchess looked to MIntel. "Make it so, Minister. I expect status updates daily. show yourselves out."

[Stinpus]

the rebels had no plans has of yet due to the overwhelming odds

they realized their hopes were abysmal without support so they decided they would make contact with Alex sting himself. they hacked into the telephones lines quickly and prepared to talk

"hello I am the rebel leader we have come to talk of a comprise." said jewel which was his codename.
"amnesty all attacks will stop you will be re educated and put back into society as you were supposed." Alex sting demanded
" look we're not just giving up what about standard of pay which repents the rest of the world.
" only amnesty or death for the rebels.
"what about more freedom for what you spend your rations on"
"i tell you what i am going to bribe you guys i will ship of twenty four of your men with a passport and a million lants in their back pocket.
"you can just throw money at a problem and hope it will go away."
"then I shall just wipe you of the face of the earth, it was always going to be the more fun way for us"
the communication ended abruptly all though this was not a total failure they had the taped the conversation and with this they started radio rebel. so for the six hours they found every supporter they could and asked to say one thing which the world did't know about the regime.
they then published them on the internet some of the worst ones were.

1. members of the party hunted humans for fun.
2. stinpus had a major collection of WMDs
3. they had killed over four million of their own people.

9. they contionsly lied about product quality and one of their chicken nuggets acutely was found to have contained poisonous substances and not removed from international shelve

the list had 894 secrets. they then published for the world to see.

Transport aircraft-One hour from Stinpus Border



Magnusson secretly shifted in the uncomfortable seat. Their trip was a progression of planes which grew smaller and more rickety. This final plane was a prehistoric biplane transport, which probably had enough flight hours on it to have flown to Neptune and back. He looked over the most recent communication with came over his sat phone.

"Alright, team, we have a better idea of where to go and to whom we should speak once we get there."

The team looked at him with the contempt that all field agents held for desk agents. One man spoke up, "so when we get there, how are we going to do this? We took off not knowing a d**n thing, and now we have to work this on the fly."

"I know, I know, this is a very fluid situation. We will be heading to find the rebel leader, and then find out who they are, what they stand for and what they need. We report that and wait for orders from the Palace."

The plane nosed down into a mountain pass and Magnusson watched as trees flew by at eye level. The pilot shouted that they were about 40 minutes from landing.

Forty Minutes later

The "landing strip" was less of a runway, and more of an open area with fewer giant boulders than the rest of the area. In the failing light, the pilot some how found it and the dinosaur of a plane rolled to a bone jarring halt. The team scrambled from the plane and quickly unloaded their gear. Magnusson spoke to the pilot and reminded him that they would be contacting him for an exit, and that he would get the rest of his money at that time. The plane turned and climbed into the darkening sky.

Magnusson gathered the team and headed for the tree line nearest the strip. He stabbed at a map. "Alright, we are here. About three miles over that rise to the West is a village; supposedly, it is fairly loyal to the rebellion. While we have the darkness, we will make for the village, and then enter at dawn and see what we can find out. Let's call home and let them know we are in country, and then let's get in our local dress."

While rest of the team put on their local style clothes, the communication officer set up his satellite burst transmitter and typed a message on its keyboard.

CODED COMMUNICATION
Spider on ground. Proceeding to contact point.

"Alright, let's move out."

[Stinpus]

the rebels had seen the plane and he sent task force b from, the village. key and lock were the first to see them they while wearing native clothes were obviously not natives.

they moved into their view and asked them " are you looking for the village detoris or are yo the rescue team for the car 4GT6 76DS because there's quite an important person in the car and we can take you there if that's who your looking for." said key.

[Catonia Majora]

Magnusson and rest of the team regarded the two men who had approached them. He gave a wry smile, and spoke in a clean Stinpus dialect.

"Well, gentlemen, that depends on how react when I the following phrase, Long Live Alex Sting."

He awaited their response.

[Central Ruska]

12:53, Chernyshevka Kremlin, Central Russia.

The meeting had been going on for nearly two hours and yet the fifteen members of the Politburo were still arguing over the situation, just as news of the Stinpusian governments actions began to arrive. The door to the meeting room quietly opened as a Female intern walked in and handed the Premier a piece of paper, written upon it, the list of Stinpusian activities released by the Rebel forces. Alexander quickly looked through the list, noting down the key reports.

"Right. This list, released by the Stinpusian rebels, claims that their government has stolen Central Russian Military Technology?" he said, looking up at the council. "We cannot jump to conclusions, sir! Who knows, they could be faking this to attract the attention of Foreign powers!" One of the senior members called out. "Stinpusian Spies! Stealing our technology! Sir, We must act now!" another one called out. "Silence," Alexander said, reaching for his glass of water. "There is no need to overreact, We can't just rush in there." he continued, taking a swig of his drink. "I think our best plans require us to be, more Informed. Meeting adjourned." He said, smiling briefly before he stood up and exited the room.

Not too long after Alexander had ended the meeting, he found himself standing outside the door to the office of an old friend, Pavel Yakubovich, Chairman of the KSB.

[Stinpus]

lock and key smiled and lock said"if you meant I would kill you on the spot. shall we go then.

[Catonia Majora]

Magnusson nodded and instructed 2 members of his team to stay behind. He turned to the communication officer. "Call it in."

The comm officer flipped open the case containing the SatCom. He type onto the keyboard.

Spider-Contact Made-Proceeding to Meet


He turned to the rebel; "Lead the way..."

[Stinpus]

they walked for an hour before they saw the car they pointed at Magnusson "you in there everyone else wait and get in the front seat." said key.

[Catonia Majora]

Magnusson shook his head, "The rest can wait, but I am bringing him with me," referring Janus, the communications expert. "I need him and you will want him."

[Stinpus]

"al right in you guys get.

[Catonia Majora]

Magnusson nodded and they set out with the Stinpussian in the lead.

[Bathyal]

At the afternoon meeting of Bathyal Ministers there was much discussion of actual important domestic matters then swung to the foreign topics. Stinpus was bound to come up and it did.

"Stinpus has seemed to ignore international response despite calling much attention to themselves. I do believe we have confused them. It is my suggestion that we withdraw the ambassador, store the seed samples in our doomsday seed bank, tissue samples in the labs and furthermore condemn both the government and the rebels alike."

Discussion went around the table for the next hour and in a rare moment a majority of the Ministers came to a concensus. Take what we had, recall the Ambassador untilt he situation resolved itself and deport all Stinpus nationals.

[Stinpus]

(ooc: did you even send the message)

"hello gentlemen." said jewel as they got in the car. "two of you oh well my code name is jewel i am leading the rebellion in stinpus 18 days ago a mixture of men and women attempted to seize the government while we had minor success we quickly lost our leader crown which is how I ended up as the leader we managed to briefly control the national radio station which meant the message quickly spread to the whole population and 46% percent of the population strike although the army quickly the army fired on them and majority of people got back to work although we believe we have much support. we fled in to the hills where they now hunt us as we speak. I did't ask what nation are you from because i can show you the evidence of the things they did to you.? look i know stinpus seems like it's very strong but it is not you can't stand by and let people die please we need your help." jewel said in desperate plea.

[Catonia Majora]

Magnusson nodded. "We have been sent from our nation to determine your intent. We are a freedom loving nation, and we need certain assurances. First, when do you plan on holding free elections? We have not the desire to exchange one tyrant for another. Secondly, we seek information on the destruction of a certain communications satellite.". He paused, awaiting a response.

[Stinpus]

"there will be free elections in one week upon control of the country via proportional representation. we will have no limit on the amount of parts but you need to have a hundred citizens to sign a petition. and yes the communications satellite was captured although i will need to know your" he pointed at the communications officer" frequency to prove it."

[Catonia Majora]

The Comm Officer jotted a few numbers onto a slip of paper and pushed it across the table towards the rebel.

[Stinpus]

he then typed those numbers onto what looked like a radio in the car the cataonia radio went of. "I am now calling you this transmission goes though the stolen satellite which you will you see if you trace the call back that on it's route it goes through your satellite. there's little more evidence to offer you except these log records a week and two weeks after the theft look their when the satellite supposedly lost contact it just had someone else enter it's firewall and delete you access to it ready for stinpus to use." said jewel.

[Central Ruska]

Globexanter-Stinpus Border.

Cruising nearly 21,000 Meters above the borderline between Stinpus and Globexanter a single Myasishchev M-55, call sign 'Nighthawk' flew over, it's cameras scanning the infamous borderline for possible signs of Stinpusian movement. About 27 minutes into the sortie, the Thermal Infrared cameras under the aircraft began to pick up movements close to the borderline.

"Nighthawk, This is station, Requesting SIT-REP over."
"Copy station, Ground units operating out of several buildings, one klick south of the border, small patrols heading North closing near border, over."
"Roger Nighthawk, Can you confirm identification of Military forces? Over."
"Affirmative station."
"Station copies all Nighthawk, Return to base, out."

The M-55 began to bank to the left, heading for friendly airspace. Meanwhile, the information gathered by Nighthawk was already on its way to the Globexanterian military.

[Globexanter]

15:32, a few minutes or so after the Central Russian drone had spotted the patrol.
GNF Army Base, not far from the Stinpusian border.

Deep underground in a square room of the base's Command and Control infrastructure, the information passed on from designated Central Russian military units based in the area had reached the base communication outpost, reclassified as urgent and sent down to the control station of the camp. The information was then sent on to the Ministry of Defense in Carcassonne, which instantly sent back it's response to the base commander. A lieutenant on duty in the room picked up the message and passed it to the Major sat down at a square table, on which was located a computer screen which was broadcasting the images seen by a drone, sent out not long after the M-55 had located the patrol. Reading the message, the officer stood up as he grouped with his fellow superiors.

"Carcassonne wants us to wipe the patrol off the screen, with permission to do so as we wish." he announced.

"Any reason why they feel so tempted to blow up foreign territory?" answered back a Captain drinking from a cup of water.

"You can ask that to them when they fire your ass for not obeying orders." glared the Major, "The targets are approximately 40 kilometers from the forward artillery positions. Fire teams shall use drone assistance with their computers to drop five shell salvo on their positions. If they survive that, drop another salvo of five and continue. All Southern units are on high alert, fire teams should fire as soon as all defense units are in place and ready." said the Major.

Ten minutes later, with the security level in the area raised to the Elevated level, just in case of reprisals by the enemy, the Fire Team began to receive the images from the drone cruising at an altitude of 13,000m, as the orders to fire were received. On site, the fifth team began moving into place. Orders, passed down from the command position from the communications outpost were then sent down to one of the dozen or so guns, which began firing it's salvo of five shots onto the enemy position, while officers and team leaders alike waited impatiently for the images sent back from the drone to show the effect.

[Catonia Majora]

Magnusson nodded after receiving the information. "I am merely here to make contact with your group and report back to my capital. I shall have to take what you have given us and make my report. If there is anything else you need us to report to help our superiors make a descision, now is the time to share it. If not, then when shall take our leave."
