World War 3 (All may participate)

[thewestmarches]

After Craig got word of the missile, he had tactical run some simulations, he was going to shoot it down once it got in range of the ship- board ARGUS system. He then sent the following message to the DoC: Good friends, we currently have our anti-missile system ready to fire on the incoming target. Also, we are currently in the process of obtaining a volatile gas that dissolves flesh and metal. We recommend you be careful with it, as it is expiramental and quite unstable. Best of luck to us all, and may Catthulu be with us all.

"Roger that General." GA Slyzer remarked. "Keep us informed on what's going on with that weapon. In the meantime we've taken another of their generals."

[hourglassrepublic]

An underling ran up to Nath "Sir. The missile is not responding to orders it has gone rouge." Nath jumped up "Saints above open all channels now!"

Urgent communique  from ******* ***** ****** to all nations with anti missile capacities in range of this message

We are sure you have noticed a large missile flying over toward the island do not be alarmed. This missile is rouge and to be considered extremely volatile. it was launched by a bugged computer system. Attacking said missile may result in fallout, E.M.P. blasts, rad. poisoning ,and other undiserable effects we are attempting to disarm it remotely till then DO NOT INGAGE! thank you. class H.A.R.P.R.B.

this has been a message from ***** ******* ********

Undisclosed prison

Webb adjusted his monocle and picked up the cup of tea and set about preparing it as he did he shouted at the speaker "thank you no need to worry about me escaping I'm 58 all my escapes are behind me but do be prepared for a 'rescuer' or two dreadfully annoying they are. I mean can't anyone give a P.O.W. some peace once and a while." and with that he started drinking his tea

[Dominion of Compassion]

GA paled as he listened to the emegency broadcast from the Hourglass fleet. "Anti rad suits, put them on now! Gas masks too, this is not a drill. Red alert!" He shouted into his intercom, as red lights began blaring and a heinous beeping noise resounded. Alert the spy base. I'm sure they know, but just to be safe. And transmit the same message to General Craig. " "yes sir" came the curt reply. The entire fleet donned their anti rad suits and masks. "If this thing blows, and it will at some point, either on its own or having been shot down, at least we wont be too ill from the fallout."

At the spy base, they knew. Rushing around, they all hurried and donned their anti rad suits and masks. After they were all dressed, the message from the fleet came through. "What's the standed evac time out of the suspected blast radius?" General X asked. After running a few simulations, one spy replied, "not less than two hours." The General smirked. "We're moving out. Prep the choppers; pack up, erase our tracks. I want us off the ground in twenty minutes at the most."

In the cell, the female robotic voice chirped to life, repeating the same message in several languages. "Hello. Please return to your seat. You have thirty seconds to comply. This is an emergency situation. We are in danger. Please return to your seat."

[hourglassrepublic]

Webb looked around "What oh ok" He sat down and continued drinking his tea. "Pardon me but do H.A.R.P.R.B.'s have to do with this"    

Hidden H.A.B.

Nath and his men sat around the base in rad. suits "Sir," one of his men said, "The radar is showing lots of movement. shouldn't we be leaving to?"

Nath smiled "No, no we're fine as long as you have a book that is."

The chair locked Webb into his chair once again. "Lock and load boys and girls, let's roll." General X yelled. Choppers flew overhead, attaching to the solid steel cell holding Webb. As the choppers evacuated the island with the spies and prisoner, General X looked back at the island. It wasn't necessarily abandoning it, they would return.

[thewestmarches]

Craig's ships came with a lockdown procedure that caused inches thick lead shields to be dropped over glass openings and anti rad suits made of an extremely tough polymer. "Sire," a soldier addressed him, "the death mist just arrived," "Good, I want 7 canisters fired at that rouge missile at 3 second intervals, whatever material is in there has to go. Preferably the entire thing." "Yes, sire," The canisters were fired and the missile passed through all seven clouds, causing severe damage to the casing and internals. Craig hoped that it would be enough, but he knew that, given his luck, there was at least a 50% chance of his plan going to shit.

[Dominion of Compassion]

"General Craig, what do we need to do to help?" GA Slyzer commed General Craig.

Meanwhile, in the airspace outside the blast radius, the steel prison cell is lowered to the ground. "Welcome. Please remain still. We have arrived at a safe zone, off the radar and far away from civilization. Please do not try to escape. Otherwise, you will be protected and moderately comfortable." The female robotic voice chirps to life. "Is there anything we can get for you, within reason?" It asks Webb.

[thewestmarches]

"Shoot the shit out of it, the bomb's blast radius should have been lowered significantly." Craig knew that the radioactive material would have been metal, and thus, taken damage from the death mist. What he didn't know, though, was how accurate the DoC's anti-missile system was, so he had his ships ready theirs.

[Dominion of Compassion]

"Roger that." GA Slyzer replied. "Ready our missiles! Let's show this thing the meaning of bullseye!" He yelled, pressing the button to launch the missiles. The anti missile rockets zoomed towards the rogue enemy missile, growing nearer every moment.

[hourglassrepublic]

Nath listened to the robotic voice on the com. "Father this is Rad. boy I've been injured they've blinded me dad I can't see I'm going to blow now while I still know where I am. I guess this is good by dad" one of his men turned to him "information successfully collected and sent, Sir. " "Good" Nath picked up the communicator "Go right ahead son you made your country and me proud today" the voice replied " I love you dad" Nath looked out the window as high as he could the high altitude nuke went of sending a E.M.P. though the air. Over the window a lead sheet was slammed and he was thrown into total darkness. "It worked Sir." "Thank you Captain Obvious" he said lighting a candle "Your welcome Sir" The Captain replied.

Some metal cell unknown

Webb heard the explosion though the cell walls "Madam may I trouble you for a pencil and a pad of paper. Thank you"

[Dominion of Compassion]

"Sure. You will be receiving these shortly. Please do not attempt to escape. This will be met with extreme force." The female robotic voice chirped. Minutes later, a small pencil and a pad of paper slipped through the slot in the cell.

On board the flagship, GA Slyzer heard the blast, but was far enough out to not be inherently affected. "General Craig, what's the situation over there? Were you outside the blast range?" He commed.

[thewestmarches]

"By about 5 feet, yeah, glad to hear you made it. Luckily my ships can take a shitload of rads and heat. Also, might I add that Western land has just been hit by a nuclear weapon, and that a DoC outpost has just been destroyed in the process. If that isn't an act of war I don know what is. What I do know is that most of my ships weren't that lucky, and my QA is dead, and we're going to bring these glassers to ruin." Craig knew that he would probably die of radiation poisoning in a few years. He wanted take the hour glass republic with him if that were to happen.

[Dominion of Compassion]

"We were afraid of that. We'd stopped receiving reports from our outpost but didn't want to believe it. I do consider that an act of war. it's time." GA Slyzer remarked, radioing the DoC to bring in foot soldiers. "No more petty games."

[thewestmarches]

Craig knew that he couldn't send for more reinforcements for a bombed out island, so he instead sent a declaration of war to the hourglass government. He then told the Western government representative to send word that he needed all available ships to attack hourglassrepulic

[Dominion of Compassion]

The air hummed and roared as several jets began landing on the island and armored and anti radiation suited DOC soldiers began piling out. Within hours, the island was locked down with 350 troopers. As the soldiers swept the island looking for anyone the spies had missed, GA Slyzer commed General Craig to inform him of these new troopers.

[thewestmarches]

"Very good, I just got word that Western ships are heading to the republic, I suggest you come with us". Craig hoped that he would, as the West Marches had a weaker military, do to it being a mostly island country.

(ooc) just join rp

A man was waiting in the uncivilized parts of the island to free the mercenary.Some time later when the 2 Enclavish soldiers were escorting the mercenary the man lodged a knife in each of the Enclavians.

He came up to the merc and said "my name is Bjorn. I've been watching Washingtub since he came here"Then,Bjorn left to the trees.

[Dominion of Compassion]

(OOC: welcome! I'm glad we finally have some more participants! Although, Idk if the enclave is still playing in this thread, I think it's me, the Westmarches, and the hourglass republic, and you!)
"Sir, we have a situation." A comm officer on the ground on the island radioed GA Slyzer. "We've stumbled across the bodies of two enclavish soldiers. We've searched around, and come to the conclusion that the rest of their army has pulled out, and these two must've been escorting someone, based on the tracks in the ground. Their prisoner is nowhere to be seen and we have no clue as of yet as to who it could be, or who could've freed him." The GA grimaced. "I hate unknown factors. Recall ten spy units from the prison lands, and send them back to the island. We're going to find the people responsible for this." He ordered the officers on the bridge of his flagship.

In the prison lands, hidden from civilization, General X, commander of the DOC espionage and intelligence agency, received word that his spies were needed. "Boys, saddle up," he said, pointing out nine other spies, "looks like we're needed on the island yet again. And this time, my prey won't escape." He smiled apathetically as he signaled for a chopper to be readied, and set about gathering his cache of weapons, and the other nine did the same.

[thewestmarches]

(ooc: hell yeah) "Sir, it appears that the DoC discovered two Enclavest escort soldiers that were apparently knifed in the back!" Craig was surprised to here this, after what happened to the Enclavests. He also began to seriously consider resigning as soon as this crazy-as-hell war ended. "Send some patrol boats, no one leaves that island unless they're an ally. How long till the repairs are done, I want to start bombing the hell out of the republic as soon as possible." "We'll be leaving in 36 hours sir." "Good, in the meantime I'm going to get some sleep. That nuke caused to much stress for one day. Wake me when we leave."

[thewestmarches]

Craig was woken up by a hummingbird, a sort of robotic message carrier typically used when nobody could be spared. It was annoying but effective as hell. The message it carried said that the ship should be departing soon, and that the ship had been stocked by a transportation vessel. Apparently the ship now had extra nukes and almost 20 canisters of death mist. It would have been more if the stuff wasn't so damn volatile, and considering the warheads, Craig knew he was extreamly lucky to get this much. So he sent the hummingbird back and got a shower and some food. He then took his post on the bridge

[Dominion of Compassion]

GA Slyzer commed General Craig. "Any updates we should be aware of?"

[thewestmarches]

"Well, we just got a shipment of nukes and death mist, other than that it appears that the hourglassrepulic is going to fall, and I might get my third promotion in a month if we come out on top. Other than that it appears that the republic might contact their allies." Craig was confident for sure, and he finally got to leave this now uninhabitable island. The only downside was that nearly 50 colonists and several ships were blown up in the process.

[Dominion of Compassion]

"Mmm, yes it seems we are nearing victory. I'm saddened by the loss of the island. The entire purpose of this was to capture it for our own usage, and we can't even do that anymore." He shook his head sadly.

[thewestmarches]

"Well, at least we have someone to blame. How is that prisoner of yours by the way, I find that torturing them is a great way to release anger

[Dominion of Compassion]

"He's doing well, he's not getting out anytime soon. And we find that torture is rather counterproductive to our agenda. But we will begin 'interrogation' techniques soon, rest assured." He replied with a sly grin.

[thewestmarches]

"Quite well. However, if you're tactics prove unfruitful, I will send you a file that contains a few very....fun methods." Craig knew that it could happen, so he had a file made some time previously. The STALIN's ETA was approximately 2 days.

[Dominion of Compassion]

He chuckled. "Sounds like a plan. For now, should I order my people to hold the island?"

[thewestmarches]

"Might as well, you never know what you're going to find in situations like this." Craig tried to not let any of the slight anxiety be hinted in his voice, he hadn't seen a single republic ship since the nuke. He just hoped that the republic didn't go up like the Enclavests.

[Dominion of Compassion]

GA Slyzer nodded agreement. "Sounds like a plan. I'll order my soldiers to hold the island until further notice." He said typing the command to the head of the soldiers on the island. (OOC: we need to promote this thread somehow, get more people involved )
