	</div> </b></span></span>​</div>The ghosts of the past call to you. They plead that you don't let this, this wasteland, be their legacy. Within your haven small splashes of green begin to bloom out of the grey. They call you to spread your teachings to the world and share it all. Share the wealth. You look out over the wastes. Miles upon miles of unconstrained chaos. You know that, that is what is actually there but all you see is brown and grey. The thick smog covers your view of the distance as the call of some great behemoth of nature rings true across the landscape. You wonder how, how can I possibly save this? But thought that fear lies a certainty that it is you who is needed to save those poor souls that lie off in the distance. Behind you the sounds of a new nation awaking to a new day of struggle, a new danger to overcome. In front of your eyes, right on the very edge of the dusty horizon, a large convoy of vehicles pass. They are clearly raiders and you could swear one of the vehicles stops, just far enough into the fog that you cant really see, and they look back at you before moving on. They hate you as much as you hate them. They know the wealth you hoard. The power you hold. They want it and they are not alone. You may have gathered these people together to save them, but that very action made them a target. One that attracts more and more threats each passing day. You may be able to hold these walls for now but if you don't look to the distance and expand your power a threat will no doubt arise, a threat far too able to crush what you now have. Go, See, Conquer. Take what you need so your people can be safe. Happiness is a luxury afforded to few.<br>

Alyosha Polzin traced his index finger along the line of the Oktyabrskaya Railway painstakingly etched by generations of cartographers onto the parchment laid out before him until his distal phalanx landed on the ancient city of Tver. He put the ring of advisors waiting with bated breath all around him into the back of his mind as he flicked open a folder with his left hand and examined for the second time that day the reports his stalkers had compiled of the ruins. The area was inhabited by a population of humans estimated to be within the low thousands, engaged in an endless war with encroaching wildlife and, alarmingly, a group of Metahumans. Regardless of their purpose, he would see to it that they lived no longer and that the innocent citizens of Tver would be rescued from their life in the wasteland. He had already sent the necessary dispatches to the private militaries, and as he deliberated their railcars raced across the northern lines of the Moscow Metro. Those of the Moscow Union government forces would now join them from the depths of Metro 2. Standing from his seat, he nodded to his Vice President Vitaly to assume control of the meeting and in one step began his own journey: to Kievskaya Station.</span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Barcelona, Spain<br>
<br>
13:23 Hours</b><br>
<br>
The sound of automatic fire broken the uneasy silence for the third time in the past thirty minutes as the Marines had been moving up the street moved up the street. One of the sergeants yelled for everyone to get down, it wasn't really necessary but he would of rather it not be necessary and doing it instead of him not doing it and some greenhorn freezing and getting shot. The Marines returned fire, the loud 12 gauge C-20s barking off in semiautomatic fire as they aimed for their targets. A scream and then a thud as one of the Bandits they were fighting hit the ground after thinking his makeshift Armour would protect him as it had before against the makeshift guns of one of the rival bandit gangs. He had no such luck here as the Prewar Slug gun was made to combat much more advanced protection. <br>
<br>
"Where the Hell is the 280?" Yelled Lieutenant Harold Nastda as he fired down the street at the Bandits. Only seconds later the sound of the C-280 Ringing out answered his question. The Squad Automatic Weapon made short work of enemy forces attempting to kill the Marines. "Move up!" <br>
<br>
The Marines moved up the ruined Street to where the Bandits had engaged them. The hostiles hadn't been very well equipped, makeshift automatics and armour that looked like it had been made from a couple sheets of metal welded together. Looking around the Marine noted his surroundings, a narrow street with a hotel at the end of it. That was their objective, the hotel was the base of one of the local bandit gangs that had been reaping havoc upon the local survivors. <br>
<br>
"Sargent, remind me why the hell we're doing this rather than sitting on the deck, sipping some fine wine?" The LT asked his XO sarcastically.<br>
<br>
"Why in order to rekindle the spark of civilization, to bring order to the Wasteland, to boldy kick ass where no Marine has kicked ass before. That and there is no fine wine aboard the Pralin." Sargent Hannah Murdoch replied almost as equally filled with sarcasm.<br>
<br>
A shot rang out and all of the Marines dived for cover. Scanning the area to see where the shot had come from the LT heard one of the more junior Marines speak up. <br>
<br>
"That was me, Sir. I saw a hostile poking his head out from behind the sign on the roof of the hotel." He looked like he wanted to melt and crawl through one of the sewage drains on the side of the street. <br>
<br>
"Remember to call it out next time, other than that, good awareness. If he could of gotten into position he really would of ruined someone's day before we could of responded." At least he's got the sense to react before going through the all the hoops, the LT reflected. Smartening up the LT went back to surveying his surroundings. <br>
<br>
"Barker, Ajax! Get your squads cover the Flanks! Murdoch, Preacher with me across to the objective!" Moving with machine precision the Marines crossed down the street. <br>
<br>
"Breacher Up! Stack!" Called out Sergeant Murdoch as she took her place on one side of the Hotel's double wooden doors. Another Marine took position on the other side while the rest fell into file behind either one of them. Four bangs range out as Buckshot from both breachers disintegrated the hinges of the doors. The slam of the doors as they were kicked in and than the clink clink clank of flash bangs being tossed in by the Marines behind them. <br>
<br>
The Marines poured into the room. Catching the guards off guard they were dropped in a matter of moments. Flipping down the magnifier of his hybrid optic LT Nastda made his way further into the lobby of the ruined hotel. <br>
<br>
"Jesus Christ..." What idiot is sounding off like that? It took him a moment to realize it had been Sergeant Murdoch. Then he saw what had made the woman speak up. There were three bodies hanging from the ceiling on what looked like meat hooks through their necks. Good thing I haven't had lunch yet, he thought to himself. "Dammit stop staring and fan out!"<br>
<br>
The Marines quickly cleared the floor and found two stair Wells up to the higher floors of the hotel. Bother stairwells appeared damaged. The first stairwell damaged that it looked like only the stairs up from third floor were passable. The second the stairs up to the third floor were passable. Musing over this new information the LT worked out a simple plan, they would take the second stair well up to the third floor while part way up Barker's squad would break off to clear the second floor. They would then clear the third floor, cross over to the first stairwell and move up towards the Fifth floor. Ajax's squad would break off and clear the fourth floor. It was a simple enough plan but it should work out if executed properly.<br>
<br>
After quickly explaining the plan out to his subordinates LT Nastda got his men moving yet again. Due to the normal small size of Marine units, they had to rely on blitzkrieg tactics. <br>
<br>
The Marines moved into the stairwell. They moved in twos with Baker's squad leading, then Frost's squad, Ajax's and then Nastda's. The idea for this displacement was so the squad tasked with clearing each floor was infront, that way they could move into their respective floor and allow the rest to pass by safely. <br>
<br>
Barker's Squad broke off into the second floor and the rest went past. They had been fighting in this city for a week now, clearing it of bandits, trying to find friendly survivors, and locate resources for the Pralin. It was odd Nastda reflected as he listened to the sound of Barker clearing the floor now below him, he had quickly become used to the sound of hinges being blown off and doors kicked in. Reaching the third floor he inspected the hallway. It was dirty anddark only illuminated here and there sunlight sliping through half open doors. Shots range out from up ahead as Frost’s breachers entered and cleared rooms.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Boss you may want to see this!” Called the familiar voice of Sergeant Derek Frost. From a room to Nastda’s left as the remaining Marines passed by. “Keep moving, I'm going to check this out.” ordered the Company’s LT as he broke off to investigate.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>HMCS Pralin<br>
<br>
Bay Of Biscay<br>
<br>
13:48 Hours</b><br>
<br>
Captain James Hunt looked out at the horizon with his binoculars. He knew there was something illogical about this, the Pralin’s active and passive radar would be able to pick up anything coming towards the ship long before it was visible on the horizon. There was the clank of boots on metal as someone else joined him on the car Walker surrounding the Pralin’s ‘Naval’ Bridge. At somepoint it would of just been referred to as the Bridge, or Primary Bridge. That was before the Marines had convinced JointCom that they needed a dedicated command center. Before the war that would of been unthinkable, Marines taking over the Auxiliary bridge. But now with the world's Navies either wiped out of destroyed due to disrepair there wasn't much of a chance that the Command Crew would have to relocated due to battle damage.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Captain you’re not going to like this.” Said the Scottish accent of the man who had just joined him. That man was Norman McTavish the chief engineer for the Pralin. Most people just called him Scotty.<br>
<br>
<br>
“What is it Scotty?” The Captain asked the aging engineer.<br>
<br>
<br>
“We can't fix any of the bloody attackers, we try and we try but we just don't have the right parts. There are times I wish you just kept Sparrow Hawk on the deck.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Those Marines needed support, are you saying I should of let them die? How were we supposed to know the bastards had a couple SAMs tucked away?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“No no that not what I'm saying at all! What I am trying to say is we just don't have the parts on board to replace her.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Any idea where we might get them?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I don't think we’ll be able to, those planes were pretty advanced. Unless of course you want to try crossing all the way back to Canada.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Not what I wanted to hear, Scotty. But honestly that’s what I was expecting. What about their guns could we at least outfit one of the Valkyries with them?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I’ll get the Boys to look into it, I'm going to say this right now don't get-”<br>
<br>
<br>
“My hopes up, right. I'm just starting to think we might of waited too long to get out there. Marines keep coming back with rumors of Nations and settlements rising from the Dust. Hell… One of the recon flights said they might of saw armour moving down there. I had him taken to the infirmary just to make sure it wasn't fatigue.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Sir, are you sure you’re not Fatigued? I mean you are the youngest member of the Joint-Com, hell you’re one of the youngest captains I've ever served with. The stress might be getting to you.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“You may be right i’ll go see the counselor when I get a chance. Thanks Scotty. Hey you got the time?”<br>
<br>
<br>
The engineer checked his wristwatch. “13:50.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Alright thanks, the Colonel wants me to meet her in Marine Ops, she apparently has something she wants to talk to me about.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Alright, I'll get back to you on the possible rearmament. Have a good day, Sir.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“You too, Scotty.”</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">All was seemingingly quiet in Old London. Those serving under the work force carried out their daily duties as usual - with the rest of the city simply procrastinating the day along. A quiet day, indeed.<br>
<br>
A gaze upon the River Thames would show a display of technical ingenuity and a manifestation of the Old World. The HMS Belfast, to be precise. Though she was beaten and pummelled 50 years ago, her recovery has managed to put some colour into those cheeks. Well, if ships had cheeks. <br>
<br>
Her crew would uphold their duties. Old London's second most important defensive asset needed to be in top shape for if the time ever came. Hopefully it never would, but one couldn't be too sure.<br>
<br>
The ship's Commanding Officer - Captain Bartholomew Schulz - took up position within the bridge of the vessel. The Officer launched a gaze through the glass, ricocheting off the River Thames and into the horizon. If one were to look hard enough, a grin could be seen manifesting upon his face.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 22px">Konungariket Sverige </span></b><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">The Queen was surveying the city. Many of the ruined buildings were now being patched up and the city began to look like a place to live rather then a place to cower. She knew the next planned construction was to wall off many streets and have the city guard use the intervening buildings as watch/guard towers. This plan would take a long time but it was vital to the long term safety of the city, at least the Queen felt as such. While she was walking the streets of Stockholm, flanked by a following of irreverent advisers and the much more important guards, her 18 year old son was completing his Rites of the Soldier. What that meant was he was away in the north hunting so he could return with a kill to prove his ability to serve and there for lead the soldiers of Sweden. While he could in theory just order one of his guards to do the task for him, She knew it was unlikely he would do it. She worried, as a mother does, for his life but she knew he would be successful and then return as a righteous heir to the throne. Her guards were armed with a variety of Axes and Swords and makeshift shields, they had guns but they were holstered. There were soldiers around where she walked who could fire a gun to save her life but those protecting her closely she wanted equipped with melee. She knew all too well what an assailant with a vendetta, a weapon and nothing to live for could do. She walked to the north side, where work was already beginning on the wall, with a gate across one of the main roads. The Gate had no.. gates. It was just a gateway. It will stay like this until the completion of the makeshift war, designed more against local wildlife then against raiders. The Gateway was grand nonetheless, it was simple and made almost entirely of steel, unless the rest of the wall which was to be rubble, stone and other crap. But it was also large. A good three stories tall, over a story higher then the highest points along the rest of the wall. It was also going to be adorned with the royal crest. For now it was the skeleton of a husk of a gateway. It showed a little of the cities power but for now served little purpose. What was far more interesting was what lay beyond where she now stood. In patch of dust, that was once a park, slowly being filled with soldiers. They planned to take Uppsala, historic home of the Swedish royals and the location of many Norse Myths and Legends. Before the war many in Sweden were either Christian or Atheist, the war changed that. They needed something to believe in. The Atheists couldn't believe that mankind had ruined itself so and the Christians refused to believe that this was the work of a benevolent god. Many began to look at the forgotten faith of their distant ancestors who's sites of worship and divination still littered the Rural landscape. The Royals too chose this path as they lead their people into a new age. She knew Uppsala needed to be taken if their claim to Sweden was to be accepted by the other power bases around the country. However Uppsala was one of these. Inhabited by a self styled 'Viking' who called himself Ragnarr the Reborn. He had a small but devoted following and raided the surrounding regions. He needed to be stopped. It was too often that the story of a young man or woman off to complete their Rites would be found mutilated, their body suspended in the outskirts of Uppsala. The Soldiers would march and they would retake the city. But not yet. Today they made themselves merry and said goodbye to their families. Tonight they feasted and dined. Tomorrow they would march, some would never return.</span>​</div></div>

Went the cigar of an old dictator, living in a world ruined by the ambitions of humanity. Portman slid his cig across the cool stone, standing on top of one of the salvaged scyscrapers, which doubled as his main office of work and planning; putting it out successfully, he stood staring at the Ukrainian Federation, and how sucessful his people had prospored. Unlike most of the wasteland, his city was clean of rubble, and building either destroyed or repaired, making it now a bustling little city (as bustling as it gets). He could see the civilains, tiny in size as he stood upward, walking or running, working, also seeing the occasional motercycles as they made their rounds, and he smiled. Portman regained his posture and strode back towards the roof entrance, shifting his eyes slightly towards the soldiers as they straightened up, "sir" one of them muttered, closing the door behind him. He made his way towards his office, sitting in a big chair the personal guard had pulled out, picked up his radio, and contacted the control room, "Are they ready....yes...inform them it's time" he finished, cutting the channel, smiling to himself, turning to the personal guard, "talk to staff, tell them to get me something strong"<br>
<br>
<b>Leading officer, pov</b><br>
Turner cut off the truck radio, turning to the passenger soldier, and nodded, "word from command is in, time to move out" he finished, as he started his vehicle and drove through the gate, feeling a great deal of pride knowing he was leading the first expedition to recapture Ukraine. Three more trucks would drive through, along with 100 standard infrantry, 26 advanced infantry occupying the trucks.<br>

A woman in blue carrying a couple of folders stopped in front of the figure.<br>
<br>
"Your Majesty, you summoned for me?" Asked the woman. <br>
"Yes." The king replied. "Now, amanda, do you think that there may be people alive in other places? Spain in particular, are there any chances that people from the other cities are alive?" The Royalty was curious. Could there have been survivors besides them?, the king thought.<br>
"There is a possibility, considering that spain itself was not hit by a nuclear warhead. There are a couple underground shelters all over spain, from civilian to military use, but we don't know if they have been  occupied."<br>
"Tried to contact them?" Asked the king.<br>
"Due to some Hane, High Altitude Nuclear Explosion, most forms of communication from the old world are fried. Satellites are also down, meaning that long-range communication is virtually impossible."<br>
"Mmhmm." He then rested back on his chair. "Proceed with your reports."<br>
"A total of 18 mutants has been taken down today. 10 just recently." Amanda said before pausing. She then added. "The construction of factories are going well. The same can be said for the other buildings in spain. Commerce will soon begin. Overall, everything is going fine. Crime rates are at 0% and everybody is getting food, water and electricity."<br>
"Good, good. Please also inform the MDF that I want us to reclaim and secure Toledo and it's surrounding Areas.. Notify the Prime Minister of this too." The King said.<br>
"As you wish, your majesty." She said, bowed and exited the room.<br>

The railtank began to vibrate: the motor was running. Roman popped his head out of the hatch as the vehicle began to clatter along the sterile subterranean tunnels of Metro 2 and cackled like a madman as the vehicle picked up speed and the air currents whipped his red hair back and blew a kiss against the lenses of his goggles. They had the honor of being at the head of Cossack Company's column, but they weren't alone, further back still were vehicles from every military private and government that called the Moscow Metro home. Climbing down and swinging the lid down with him, he sat back into his seat and grinned wolfishly to his crew. They've served a few good months together yet, scourging mutant nests and bandit stations with hot lead in some of the fiercest fighting to be had since the Moscow Union took the fascists and merchants and rangers and the reds they haven't killed under their banner, uniting the underground against the common enemies of humanity. The tank was newer to him. Even if they hadn't decorated the fighting compartment of the old one with trophies, hadn't painted a tally onto the side of what and how many of it they had killed, they would have known: the inside of the tank stank of kerosene. He discovered last deployment why repair crews used that tactic. If a crew got chewed to sausage meat or were burned to a crisp, you could weld a patch into place on the steel outside. And you could clean up whatever was left of the poor sorry pricks who's got killed. But blood and bits of flesh would linger no matter how well you cleaned things out. Pretty soon, the fighting compartment would start smelling as if you'd forgotten a kilo of pork in there for a couple of weeks. So the repairmen did what they could, they doused the inside of the fighting compartment with as much kerosene as was necessary. Roman didn't know whether that actually killed the dead-meat stench or just overwhelmed it. Kerosene wasn't a pleasant odor, but over what he <i>could be</i> smelling, it was nothing less than ambrosial. The railtank soon emerged from the underground and he moved to look out of the hatch once more to make sure no mutants had strayed from the ruins of Moscow proper. Peering back, he could see the railcar commanders that hadn't put on their goggles were now fixing them around their heads. Fifty years underground had made the sun an alien and hostile fixture of the surface to the humans that dwelled below, sheltered from it's unrelenting glare. It was only natural they became increasingly pink and fearful of bright lights as the generations passed. Retreating back into his armored womb, he decided to get a game of cards going with Boris to pass the time.<br>
</span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-family: 'courier new'">&gt;&gt;*&lt;&lt;</span></b>​</div><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><br>
Polzin smiled as the monorail that carried to him hummed down the ancient lines of Metro 2 as if it had a life of it's own. His ancestors had taken vessels like these when they fled from the surface before their home was blanketed in the thermonuclear rage set aside to annihilate the beating heart of the Russian Federation. Fortunately for him, it wasn't enough to collapse the arteries of D6. It wasn't even enough to wipe out those that had sought refuge within the Moscow Metro. The vehicle came to a smooth stop at the secret entrance to Kievskaya. He stood up from his seat and proceeded to exit, flanked on both sides by agents of the revived and revered and feared F.S.B., or at least so the archives had described them. Waiting for him at the door was Alexander. With a baby face, white hair, and set of purple eyes, you wouldn't suspect for a second that men bled and cried under the cruel and surgical precision of his knife until you were the one he was cutting the answers he needed out of. He reached out a ghostly white hand from his coat pockets. "Hello Polzin," he chirped happily. He could be amicable when he was on your side.<br>
<br>
"I apologize for your wait," Polzin formally began, accepting Alexander's handshake. Niceties seemed to make a difference for his albino comrade. From past experience he noticed they helped a lot when you needed the support of others. But he had come to gain the perception that Alexander genuinely enjoyed the nuanced realm of etiquette.<br>
<br>
Alexander anxiously raked the back of his neck with his fingernails. "I've never been to this section of the Metro before. It has been much more quiet than I am accustomed to, but, perhaps because of my profession, this has been a welcome change."<br>
<br>
Polzin picked up on what he hadn't said fairly easily and he nodded in silent agreement. The men at his sides hadn't, thankfully. "Shall we depart?"<br>
<br>
Alexander grinned to the affirmative.<br>
</span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-family: 'courier new'">&gt;&gt;*&lt;&lt;</span></b>​</div><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><br>
After losing his ass to Boris for the third time in a row Roman gave up on ever winning a round against the Georgian. The kid had a mind, that's for certain. Groaning defeatedly, he was about to dip into his vodka ration before Vaughn sighted Tver. "Roma! I see the objective!"<br>
<br>
Roman and Boris gave out whoops and beat their fists against the metal of the fighting compartment. He pulled the bottle of vodka towards him anyway to celebrate. Any reason to drink was a good one, plus it never hurt to get knackered before a firefight to help steady the nerves. After passing the bottle to Boris, Roman moved to check the main armaments of the railtank, his darling DShK 12.7mm Machinegun 'Dushka', and modified DShK Heavy Automatic Shotgun, or 'Abzats.' One could shoot clean through anything the world threw at the railtank, and the second could make anything within spitting distance look like it went through a meat grinder. Assured there were no problems with the bullet boxes of either prize, he accepted his vodka back from Boris and placed it back into his supplies. He climbed up through the cupola and led a brief cheer of the line behind him before looking back towards the troubled city of surface dwellers and resting his arms on Dushka.</span></div>

Over the light fog and sounds of the sea a growing trumpet sound coming from the Campus on the outskirts of the city. The men in the tents, their slaves, and pack animals all became more and more active, the camp was humming the humming turned into a murmur, with breakfast having past the soldier were prepared for the new day. 3 More trumpets marked the taking down of a camp and the organization of the Troops. One in a Column they began their march, towards Rumors, towards Rome. The Thunderous footfalls marked their one day journey towards Rome. If nothing existed there they would create it, and if something did they would improvise. With Marcus Tullius Bellatus at the helm they marched with purpose and speed able to make it to the city by the Seventh hour on the second day.</span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">A mass of armed combatants paraded through the Tower Bridge. Nothing stood before them - such a decision would be wise and necessary. It appeared to be the entirety of 1. Brigade that marched along the road, where an automobile or two should be found.<br>
<br>
Those high up in the ranks always made it clear that such events were an excellent tactic in raising public morale. Such a thing must be true of they piled so much physical effort into making it seem apparent. That, or they just didn't want anyone growing suspicious.<br>
<br>
But there was no time for such thoughts. The 1. Brigade was proudly presenting itself along the bridge - uniform and everything. Some would say these parades would be even more extravagant than those during the era of the Old World.</div>

			<div itemprop="text">
				
					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 26px">Konungariket Sverige </span></b>​</div><br>
<div style="text-align: center">In the northern forests of Sweden a man standing proud of six guards. The guards were all ready and showing their fear. Each held a weapon, for four it was a long spear and the other two held Axes accompanied by shields, their stance low and their movements slow. The man alone held an axe, crafted prewar. On his back lay a shield, also prewar. He was low to the ground and his boots stood behind his feet. His gloves lay beside them. Slowly stalking out of the snow laden trees was a large brown bear. Its left front paw was notable larger then the rest and the left side of its face looked similarly larger. From floor to shoulder it stood 8ft and its head was almost as large as a grown man. It was looking intently at the humans gathered before it. Slowly, the man standing alone took the shield from his back and place it on the ground infront of him. He lowered himself even closer to the ground and then let out a guttural yell. The Bear pawed the ground before charging at him and lashing with it larger paw. Just as the bear was about to reach him the man rolled to the right and slashed at the bears Right hind leg. It roared back at him as it turned before it charged again. This time the man rolled toward it, cutting at its front right leg as it charged over him. It was likely pure luck that he was not trampled by the hind legs. The bear was clearly injured but appeared no weaker. Now it had learned and did not charge. The two paced around the shield the man placed earlier as his guards slowly edged ever further away. As he approached the trees the Bear emerged from he began to back toward them. The Bear was not going to let his prey retreat and so began to move toward him, at a notable pace. Just as it was about to reach him he turned, ran toward a tree behind him and jumped off of it. As he came down he smashed his axe against the bears throat. He thought it would be the killing blow but the bear seemed unnerved as he landed his body against its right leg and was knocked 10 foot off. Now unarmed he knew his situation was not looking great. The Bear seemed more enraged then before and the man had just suffered a full body blow against the force of the beast. He could feel that one of his ribs was likely broken but it would not stop him. With his left hand clutching his chest he gestured for one of the spear wielding guards to pass it over. As he caught it the bear charged again, he rolled away, barely avoiding the left paw swiping across his face. It was Kill or be killed and so positioned himself in readiness. The bear slowly closed the distance and then charged. As it did so he threw the spear into the beasts eye, it missed. But it hit the armoured nose of the beast and ricocheted into its intended target and lodged itself in its brain. As he did this he leapt at the beast, his body impacting the top of its shoulder and flinging him off to the left where he rolled limply on the snowy ground. The beast appeared to be turning. He thought this is it. He had taking many risks and dealt some severe blows but the bear was now between him and his guards, they couldn't pass him a weapon and the bear looked ready for another charge. But just as it began to face him it twitched and then collapsed. Then it twitched some more before it was still. He had succeeded. He looked at his arm, the bone was just slightly poking out of the skin and he could suddenly feel just how bad his ribs were. He feel onto a knee. Panting but holding in the pain. Around him the guards made camp and someone attended to his wounds. While he felt weak from his state the guards were in awe. They had never seen a Jarl-Bear Killed before. The smaller breeds were often claimed as kills by the more boisterous warriors but never one so large. Never a Jarl. He felt weak because he knew he was showing pain to his men and that was certainly not how he was taught to lead. His men, they didn't see him how he saw himself. They saw a warrior, a fighter. A man worthy to lead them. <br>
<br>
Meanwhile in Stockholm the soldiers advanced on Uppsala. Shots rang out across the area as there Jarls guards in the exterior of the city opened fire from their seclued locations. But very few of them had guns. As the Swedes returned fire they soon lost their fire ability but they had suffered a fair few losses in the crossfire. Suddenly a loud horn was sounded and soldiers charged down the various streets. The Swedes began to mow them down but they had underestimated their ingenuity as soldiers closed range on all flanks. What the Swedes hoped they could end at distance became a melee and blades cut on blades, hammers smashed skulls and the odd shot still managed to find its mark. When the cutting was done the tracks they did battle on were red with blood. Many who survived had weapons lodged in their skin. Some were blinded by the blood on their face.  100 Swedish bodies lay over many more hundreds that betrayed the crown. The Jarl couldn't be found and the Queen assumed the coward fled the city during the fighting. They tried to shoot down the enemies that fled but many still succeeded.​</div></div>

Berlin</span></i><br>
<br>
A small strand of light pierced the dark room like a needle. A single boarded up window protected the from from the outside light. A bald headed man stepped in front of the boarded up window, peering through the small opening. He peered down at his city, Franz's city, Berlin. Franz fought from the bottom to be where he was right now. Leading his people to a better future was no small task. However, Franz was up to the challenge. A pair of sunglasses covered the dictator's eyes.<br>
<br>
From the other side of the room, a fist roughly knocked on the door. "Urgent news," a voice stated. "Come in," Franz responded, looking over his shoulder. The door creaked open, and a dim light flooded the room. A man stepped in, wearing a light trench coat with a hood. The man had a rugged beard, and bloodshot eyes. "Some fellas have gone and started trying to take some of our farms up North. They're about thirty men strong from what me and my lads saw," the man explained, still standing at the doorway. Franz turned, and strolled to a cracked wooden desk situated in the center of the room. He sat in a spinning chair, and took a deep breath. "Then we'll make an example of them. Prepare a hundred men. Don't give those barbaric wastelanders a fighting chance. Be sure to capture a few of them. Understood?" Franz spoke slowly, and pronounced each word with authority. The man nodded. "Understood." The door closed gently, and light receded from the room, leaving Franz in complete darkness. The dictator sat silently, rubbing his hairless chin. Thirty men? Usually they don't encounter so many wastelanders at once. Could there be more of them somewhere else? Whatever the case, they would be dealt with swiftly and mercilessly.</div>

20 Protective Allies stood in 2 rows, facing each other, just a few meters from the biggest gates of Pärnu. Most of the weaponry was basic - 4 bowmen, 7 men with a spear, a shield and a shortsword and 5 longswordmen. 4 of the men, however, had hunting rifles, which while not exactly military grade firearms would still, in direct combat, pose a larger threat than a sword or a bow. But in balance the other weapons were brand new, only recently being completed by the smiths of the city, and as a bonus almost everyone carried a knife and a hatchet with them as well.<br>
<br>
Linnakogu, an elected council or parliament of sorts that acted as the ruling force for the city, had assigned these men and women to be sent to scout out 2 of the closest old world capitals, Tallinn and Riga. As both the town and the farming hamlets in their territory had been safe from raiders for a while, it was only logical to start searching for other civilized life and if none could be found, then at least expand their power to occupy the whole Baltic States.<br>
<br>
A few hipsterish Baltians sang something about the Taara spirit in the background while some of the senior members of the Linnakogu had a small speech: <br>
"In the future, we are going to look back at your bravery and sing ballads of greatness. Soon a new era of growth will be ushered in, all thanks to you. Good luck, brothers and sisters." One of them announced in Latvian. <br>
The soldiers smiled at him, put on their various helmets and other protective headgear and left, closing the 5 meter tall gate behind them.</div>

</b><br>
As Landin finished receiving his report from a couple of soldiers, ones who lead the fortification effort, another group of soldiers came up, confirming the death count, "7 injured, 12 killed" was the count, before Landin nodded and they head on their way. As he walked around, surveying the clean up crews, the ones tasked with scouting, and ones doing whatever they could do to get out of the job, he once again thought back to the fight from yesterday...hoping to be better prepared. Landin walked into what was previously an office building, sat where a secretary would sit, and picked up a bottle of beer, drinking it with vigor as two soldiers stepped, causiously getting his attention, "sir, population control, we have confirmed, 1190 people, now being held in a cleared out apartment complex, none of them had news of the people we fought yesterday", "urg....very well, on your way" Landin said, waving them off as they left. <br>
Somewhere in the same building, a makeshift radio room had been set up and signal had been reached, "yes.....yes, city captured....on there way-er, very well" the soldier, an advanced finished, cutting it off and heading to speak with Landin. The construction crew would arrive within 2 hours.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The Emperor stood atop the ramparts surrounding the Imperial Palace. Watching as the six thousand man strong task force slogged along the mix of paved and gravel roads that littered Konstantinoupolis, he felt a swelling of pride in his very core. The setllers, some thirteen thousand rugged folk, bearing metal tools, wheelbarrows full of seed packets or daily items, were behind the great columns of soldiers. He watched as the twenty cataphractarii rode alongside the soldiers, their gleaming lances and streaming banners showing the very pride of the Roman Nobility. With a shout from the top of the walls surrounding Konstantinoupolis, the gates began to heave open. With that, a great trumpeting began from one of the cataphractarii playing the anthem. The soldiers began to take up the call, their great hum of voices swelling explosively in the air.<br>
<br>
"God speed, men. I trust Edirne will not be a challenge for you." The Emperor halted his muttering to himself, turning on his heel. His rich velvet cloak billowed through the air as he rushed into the palace. Nodding to his servant, Anatolios, the man offered a cup of wine to the Emperor. The Emperor, nodding his head dismissively now, took a calm sip of the wine and set it down next to his throne. He had urgent matters to attend to, namely the handing out of captured farmlands around Edirne.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Barcelona, Spain<br>
13:53 Hours<br>
Charlie Company</b><br>
“Get some you irradiated son of a bitch!” Shouted one of Ameelia Serafina’s Marines as they put down one of the Mutants that was undoubtedly trying to defend the nest the Company of Marines were headed towards. In terms of Prewar military tactics what they were doing was insane, walking directly towards the enemy wielding SAWs with Flamers and Slug-guns interspersed here and there in their formation. Though this wasn't a normal Prewar fight, it was an extermination. It was also an operation that only a few other companies in the Marines would relish in as much as Charlie.<br>
<br>
<br>
The approaching marines looked like harbingers of the apocalypse itself wearing full black armour and flame suits. They were what other Marines would of called Charlies. When the Marauder Corps were originally formed it was decided that a company would be formed comprised of delinquents and less than stable individuals. The result was Charlie company, a company that specialized in the types of fighting that would make other Marines sick. An oddity in and out of itself Charlie had several things about it that was unique, the first being that anyone in the company out of training rarely ever made it past the rank of Sergeant. All of Charlie’s officers were transferred from other companies. The idea behind that was that it allowed the M-COR to utilize people that otherwise could be dangerous wildcards, it also allowed Charlie to be contained and controlled by people of ‘sound judgement’.<br>
<br>
<br>
Their mission was simple enough they were supposed to eliminate a nest of mutant Bulls that had formed in the old Bull Fighting Arena. If Charlie knew one thing though it was that their mission were rarely if ever simple. Captain Serafina waited for something to inevitably to go to shit, then it did. They were already in sight of the Arena when they heard what could only be described as a demonic moo from hell.<br>
<br>
<br>
“What the fuck?!” One of the Marines exclaimed looking around for the thing that made the devilish sound. Then he saw it, one of the last things he ever saw to be exact. The mutant bull coming through the wall of the building and impaling the Marine on one of it’s massive horns.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Dust that fucker!” Screamed the company’s CO as the Bull turned round to find another soon to be human shiskabab. Her company's reaction was what to be expected, they all opened fire on the monstrosity without remorse for their comrade still screaming, impaled on the Demon’s horn. His screaming from the pain of impalment was soon joined by his screams from the pain of being hit dead center in the back by a Phoenix Dust round. Despite the firesuit he wore it did little to stop the 12g thermite round from soon burning through his combat gear to the flesh beneath. Soon another Phoenix Dust round struck, this time it got the ‘bull’ dead center in the face and stumbled the Bull long enough for one of the Flamer Marines to get their weapon trained on it. The deadly mixture of the most potent incendiaries human kind had ever created was enough to put the Bull down for good.<br>
<br>
<br>
As the Marines walked past the burning pile Captain Serafina took a moment to stop and put a round into the head of the impaled Marine who was still screaming from her side arm. This wasn't something she enjoyed, nor was it something she ever wanted to do again yet she knew she would have to. Sure the medics might of been able to ‘save’ him, but what ever life they would of been able to give him wouldn't of been much of a life at all.<br>
<br>
<br>
She looked about her as they continued ever onwards, she looked at the buildings of what was undoubtedly once a beautiful city, she looked at her men with their backpacks of flamer fuel and linked ammo belts, she looked at the sky ever grey from the fallout and other pollutants humanity had dumped into it. Reality has always just been so… surreal, be it running around on the decks of the carrier as a little girl, the hells I've faced with Charlie company, or Intense training when I became a marine. Life is just a strange proposition isn't it? Fight, eat, and fuck, all for what? So I can just die at the end of it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Snapping out of her rather depressing introspection she assessed the situation yet again. From what she could see the nest in question was not much of a nest, more like a gathering place for the various mutant cows, she had been hoping on at least some other type of mutants around to of made some structure. Those nests were the easiest to deal with, surround them, torch them, and then mow down anything trying to escape the inferno. Though the way it currently looked there were only a few ways for the cattle to escape.<br>
<br>
<br>
“I want Flamers on each doorway! SAWs to support. Slug-Guns with me!”<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>HMCS Pralin<br>
Bay Of Biscay<br>
14:02 Hours</b><br>
The Marauder Corps Operations Bridge wasn't usually very busy of the 712 members of the Pralin’s crew only around 250 were marines most of them with auxiliary duties. Now with JointCom wanting to become active in world affairs, the entire bridge was alive with the activity of support personnel directing and planning Marine operations as well as compiling intelligence reports and the like. The activity was a different atmosphere from when they were just doing recon, and training reflected Command Major Colonel Zelina Xervia, though to most she was just Colonel Xervia, or the Old Lady (though never to her face).<br>
<br>
<br>
She was leaning over the shoulder of a tech as she watched the helmet camera of a Marine while he directed the clearing of a hotel. According to the information on the screen the helmet cam belonged to a LT. Nastda. She didn’t know the man personally but she had seen his unit’s combat records over the couple of weeks the crew of the Pralin had been operating ‘in the open’ it looked like Bravo was going to be a very promising unit in the months and years ahead. Not just because of their skill in a firefight either, they had a tenacity that the other companies just didn't have. It had made her very tempted a few times to transfer them to RAT work if they hadn't been so damn effective where they were. On the screen it appeared if he had just entered a room with about five of the locals.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Captain on deck!” One of the various tech who was mulling around shouted as she spotted Captain James Hunt entering the room.<br>
<br>
<br>
“At Ease.” He looked around for a moment and then spotted the Colonel standing beside the tech.<br>
<br>
<br>
“You said you wanted to see me?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes, let's go to my ready room it should be quiter in there.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Lead the way.”<br>
<br>
<br>
She lead him into a smaller office, there were various reports and papers lying around. I knew he was coming I probably should of cleaned up, fuck it I was too busy and he knows that. Sitting down behind her desk she gestured for him to sit. “Can I offer you a drink, Jim?”<br>
<br>
<br>
He sat in the offered seat and waved his hand at the offer of a drink. “Too early to be drinking, that and I wouldn’t trust the stuff Scotty and the boys in engineering have been cooking up in their spare time.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Fair enough, let's get to business then. When we set out to capture Barcelona we didn't know how bad it really was. Even after we clear the city I don't think we have enough Marines to keep it that way for long. There also aren't enough survivors in the city that are friendly enough to establish a Militia like we originally planned. Long story short, we need to find another base of operations.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“We really should get John in on this. This is probably a decision to be made by the Entire Joint Command.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Look Jim, you don't think I don't know that? It was John who really pushed for us to land in Barcelona though. With his talks of turning it into the paradise it was before the war.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Well do you have any alternatives then?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“As a matter of fact I do, a couple days ago while on a recon flight one of our Valkyries spotted an Oil Rig.”<br>

“So what? We've found dozens of oil rigs. We took what fuel they had and left.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“This one is operational.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Dammit, I'll go talk to John. Get the Air Cav ready.”<br>
<br>

<b>Barcelona, Spain<br>
14:13 Hours<br>
Charlie Company</b><br>
In a half crouch Cpt. Serafina entered the Arena/Nest normally Charlie wasn't very subtle, and it was ever harder to move subtlety when you had a tank of nearly 30 kilos of incendiary on your back. Around her was about a dozen of her Marines armed with slug guns. Their job was to start a panic and force the mutant bulls out of the other exits, right into the waiting arms of the rest of Charlie Company.<br>
<br>
<br>
Another couple of meters… She was in position. Gesturing to the others she readied her flame thrower. “NOW!” She screamed while opening up on the unsuspecting herd with the XC-17. Once she opened up her Marines started to fire into the herd with HE-12, and Phoenix Dust.<br>
<br>
<br>
Like one big organism the herd first shuddered and then started flowing out of the other exits. In the distance she could hear the familiar sound of 7.62 firing off rapidly mixed in with the tortured sounds of the Hell Cows that had most likely been met with a burning stream of thermite and white phosphorus. “Alright keep pushing the monstrosities!”<br>
<br>
<br>
Twenty minutes later she walked out among the burnt remains of an unknown amount of dead mutants. “Dave! How many causalities?” She called out to one of the Lieutenants that helped her control her company.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Only the one on approach!” He called back to her.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Alright, call big sky! Tell them to come pick us up and to bring a body bag! Once we start to load up do a head count I want to know who it is in the body bag!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Roge!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Alright you pyscos, rapists, murders! Secure the LZ and get ready to go home! When we get back shower for fucks sake, you smell like a burnt stake!”<br>
<br>
<br>
One of her men Mooed in reply and then complied with her orders.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Very funny jackass! You just earned the company half an hour of PT, full gear when we get back.”<br>
<br>
<br>
The Captain found somewhere to sit down, took her helmet off and then lit a cigarette. Blowing a ring of smoke into the air, she looked into the sky. Yeah, my life is just so fucking surreal…<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Barcelona, Spain<br>
14:13 Hours<br>
Bravo Company</b><br>
LT Nastda now stood in one of the rooms of the hotel his company had cleared. They had a problem, that problem was five members of the MDF tied up in another room.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Sir, I'm aware we have orders to be discreet when it comes to members of these nation states that have been popping up, but we can't just leave them here.” Sergeant Murdoch stated for her CO and the other Sgts in the room to hear.<br>
<br>
<br>
“We could just shoot them.” Sgt Ajax suggested.<br>
<br>
<br>
“No, the raiders were using a much different caliber than us. If their people found them and did an autopsy they might wonder what the hell cleared a city overnight.” Nastda reasoned.<br>
<br>
<br>
“They’re going to wonder what the fuck happened anyway, Charlie did get deployed. I can actually smell the burnt flesh from here.” Frost said sitting down on a threadbare bed in the room. “What if we take them to the roof when we evac, cut them loose there. If there are going to be rumor we might as well strike fear.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Tha-” Nastda was caught off guard by a voice that sounded in all of their ears.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Frost is right, strike the fear of God into them. Best to have people start hearing rumors and not be able to pin down our capabilities until we are ready for open operations. I'll talk to the Joint Com about moving to operating at night with more decisive operations. Xervia out.” The words from the Colonel more than several hundred kilometers away resounded in their ears for a moment and then LT Nastda moved into action. You heard her.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>6 Hours Later</b><br>
<br>
<br>
The Marines dragged the men to the roof of the hotel. It was nearly pitch black, the only indication of the VTOL that had just landed was the loud whirring of the rotors and it’s running lights. The Marines pushed the blindfolded men to their knees and took out their knives. After cutting them loose the Marines headed straight towards the VTOL and climbed in.<br>
<br>
<br>
Nastda walked up to the man who looked to be either the Noncom or officer of the group. He grabbed the man's face and brought it to be looking directly at his own. With a quick movement the Man’s blindfold was gone and he was looking into the war painted face of a man wearing military body armour.<br>
<br>
<br>
“W-who are you?” The MDF man asked.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Your worst nightmare.”<br>
<br>
<br>
And with that the man turned around and climbed into the VTOL. It dusted off and like that the Marines were gone into the black.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The Sniper Team sat over so quietly along the ruins of Old London's outskirts. No chatter, no banter. Not even someone asking about the weather. Quite dull to say. Then again, guard duty was normally like this. And for what were these lot looking out for? Mutants, of course.<br>
<br>
Elliot took a quick peep down the scope to his weapon. Nothing in sight, of course. It was a rare occurrence for a Mutant to exit the G-Zone along the north east of London. Some sort of natural habitat for them, or something.<br>
<br>
Lodge took up position next to his partner. Even when he took a look through his binoculars - normally found dangling limp fron his neck - still nothing would present itself. Looks like it was going to be an easy day today.</div>

It took the soldiers a day, but eventually they reached Rapla. Encounters with mutants were to a minimum, they had to chase of a few, but no combat, as the Baltics are generally less radiated than the rest of the places. It gets worse towards Tallinn, that the scouts knew to look out for.<br>
As Rapla was quite close to Pärnu it was left nearly deserted after the bombs fell. Near the town the scouts encountered some people, who told them about the gang of raiders that rules the town and surrounding areas, taking most of the harvest from the peasants as "taxes".<br>
The leader of the scout party radioed the info to Pärnu and they set up camp near the city and multiple scouts were sent to scout the city to get info about the raiders.<br>
Turned out that the Raiders were mostly equipped with the most basic of weaponry - basic homemade larger blades, knives, maces, scrap armor. The highlights were the hunting rifles and crossbows they had, along with a few pre-war factory-make blades.</span><br>

They were all equipped with various weaponry - even a few military grade assault rifles were given to the best fighters - and they were set to have 1 day of training before they were to be lead to liberate Rapla. Along with the Protective Allies the General of the Protective Allies, Ivars Putenis, was called to lead the force.</span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Portman sat down at the rather elegant table, eating a fancy salad, with simple beans, drinking a glass of wine. To most people, the salad, which was composed of 4 different ingredients, wouldn't be too fancy, but in the Ukrainian Federation, having more that one fruit was a privilege only soldiers and the best of architects have, as resources are distributed evenly and based on who the person in question might be (an adult would get about 2 fruits a day, a teen and young child 1, a baby half/water is one big jug refilled each week). As he finished his drink, wiping his face with a napkin, one of the 10 advanced guards around him walked up, saluting, "what is it you want soldier, can't you see I'm busy, this better be good" Portman finished, making the soldier flinch and pull out his radio, "sir, the soldiers and infrastructure workers at Chernihiv are set up and working now; the soldiers here are ready to march towards-" "Sumy, yes?, tell them to head out now, and to report as scheduled" He finished, waving the soldier away, and finishing his salad, he stood up and walked to the soldier escort; he would head to military headquarters and check the plans again, making sure everything was perfect.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>HMCS Pralin<br>
North Sea<br>
09:34 Hours</b><br>
Captain James Hunt looked at the oil rig in the distance through his binoculars. From his position on the catwalk he could see activity on the deck of the platform. He sighed and then walked back into the bridge.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Try to make radio contact the Oil Rig.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes, sir! This is HMCS Pralin to Oil Rig. Do you read us? I repeat HMCS Pralin to Oil Rig. Do you copy?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Aye, we didn’t expect to see no yanks out ‘ere. This is Everest Oilfield to Pralin, we copy and I suspect ye be wantin’ tae send over someone tae meet wid us?” came the reply. It was clear that soldier were moving about the oilrig and various weapons were being pointed at the very distant aircraft carrier.<br>
<br>
<br>
“This is Captain James Hunt, no yanks here. Stand by to receive our contact party.”<br>
<br>
<br>
The Captain put down the microphone from the radio and turned to one of the noncoms on the bridge. “Contact Chief McTavish, tell him to meet me on the flight deck.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Aye captain.”  The orderly quickly scampered off to find the chief engineer wherever he was.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Captain picked up the radio microphone once again and turned it to one of the intra-ship channels.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Marauder Ops, can I help you captain?” Came the voice of one of the Marine orderlies from the microphone.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes, tell Colonel Xervia I'll need a contact team to meet me on the flight deck. Is Foehammer available? “<br>
<br>
<br>
“Roge, tell the Colonel to assemble a contact team. Foehammer should be prepared, though she has just returned from an operation. May I recommend Bigsky instead, sir.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Bigsky it is. Naval Bridge out.”<br>
<br>
<br>
The Captain then switched back to the Hailing channel. “Everest, this is Pralin. You should be able to expect our contact team within an hour.”<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Everest Oilfield<br>
North Sea<br>
09:41 Hours</b><br>
“Alrigh’ you seem like Yanks ta me, but we will await your team. Dont try anything. We know what you want and if you threaten my team I will make it worthless.” the oilfield replied “Commander Hawkey out” There was clearly action on the rig and men walked up to the helipad and began clearing it of debris.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>HMCS Pralin Flight Deck<br>
North Sea<br>
10:02 Hours</b><br>
Lt Nastda was standing by the VTOL when he saw the Captain approaching. He moved towards the Captain and then saluted. “I'm LT Nastda, Bravo Company. We’re your contact team.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Captain James Hunt, this is Chief McTavish.” The Captain said gesturing to the aging man beside him. “I told the Colonel I wanted a contact team, not a company of Marines armed to the teeth.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I don't know how closely you follow the Marauder Corps’ operations but usually a contact team would involve two companies, Sir.”<br>
<br>
<br>
The men climbed into the VTOL. It was pretty much standing room only in the aircraft but a couple Marines managed to move and open two of the drop seats. The LT watched as the Captain waved his hand. “If it’s the same to you I would rather stand, I don't like being the only one sitting in a room full of my subordinates, sets a bad standard.”<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>Pretty admirable of the man, that's bound to get him some fans among the men.</i> Thought the LT as he watched the screen unfold.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Meanwhile if it’s the same with you, Jim. I think I am going to take a seat. I'm an old man after all.” McTavish said settling into one of the offered seats.<br>
<br>
<br>
“I don't think that’s going to be an Issue, at all.”<br>
<br>
<br>
All of the Marines settled and then the lights in the back of the Helo went off. Soon the voice of the Pilot came through their headsets. “This is big sky, get ready to dust off”<br>
<br>
<br>
I hope this goes as well as Barcelona. Taking a look around at the people surrounding him instilled a sense of pride in the man. His Marines had been doing a bang up job since they began operations.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Turboprops of the VTOL started with a loud roar. A tap on Nastda’s shoulder caused him to turn and look at the Captain who was tapping his ear which did not have a headset.<br>
<br>
<br>
Nastda touched his own headset. “Ramirez pass the Captain your headset.” The Marine standing beside the Captain compiled and then the Captain spoke through the commandeered headset.<br>
<br>
<br>
“When we get there what’s the gameplan?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“My Marines will get out first and make sure the area is secure, once that is done it’ll be good for you to get off. If shooting starts the Pilot will lift up and immediately take you back to the Pralin.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Got it.”<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Everest Oilfield<br>
North Sea<br>
10:14 Hours</b><br>
The landing pad had seven men and women with guns standing to the side where the stairs descended from. At the top of the lattice that propped up the drill there was a makeshift sniper nest with a pair of snipers peaking over the edge at the aircraft, aimed at the pilot. In the forefront of the armed people was a man with a thick beard and a pair of aviator shades on. As the VTOL lands the soldiers adjust their grip on their weapons and begin aiming them more at the VTOL, each training on one of the Canadian soldiers. Once the VTOL lands the soldiers spread out slightly and kneel down, ready to open fire. It’s clear these soldiers are trained.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Marines piled out of the VTOL from both sides of it, as they fanned out they all quickly took up targets. If anyone so much as flinched the whole situation could quickly turn into a bloodbath for both sides involved. Without heeding what the LT said Captain James Hunt stepped out of the VTOL accompanied by Chief McTavish.<br>
<br>
<br>
The man assessed the situation quickly, the inhabitants of the Oil Rig seemed as equally trained and equipped as the Marines if they didn't look only slightly more sickly. <i>It was nice to leave the Pralin for once that is for sure.</i> He thought to himself as he looked around for the leader of the Riggites.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Ello, I am Commander Hawkey, wo men listen to my orders and normally we don’t listen to hails from passing ships, not that we get many of them either, but I though you was worth me time. Now I know why you here but we aint got any oil to spare. The rigs busted, but we can fix it. Issue being is we don’t have the parts and what time we can spare to risk the journey to land is spent on food runs. Way I see it. You supply us we supply you with what we can. From your point of view, food for oils a good deal no? That and the parts. However. You and your lads say no, I light up this landing pad and our blood covers the decks. My men wreck this thing beyond repair and sail away.” Said the man in the thick beard, stepping forward in such a way as to show that he felt very much in control of the situation.<br>
<br>
<br>
“We were actually hoping for something that may be a lot more beneficial to both sides. You see we’re looking to establish a new base of operations, and our recon flights showed that this rig would be in not only a great position strategically. But it is also quite a large rig, most likely with room to expand with the right people and right supplies. We want to go out and rekindle the spark of civilization, but to do that we need to be able to not only produce food, but equipment as well. If you’ll join us we promise all of you people equal standing with ours, and even a spot in our council. Does that not sound better than a simple trade agreement?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“What sorta council? You got a working government over in north Yankton?” he said, motioning his soldiers to take a slightly more relaxed approach. At his motion they lowered their weapons. “We got a good thing going. Those left over crackpots that live in that mess seem to like their vehicles and there ain't much fuel. Back when we had the mountain running we could trade enough to fill us with food and ammo for months from a few hour trip to the coast. Now I am all for returning the way this place was when my granda took us over here but my pop was just a bearn then and I can't see it happening. Now I am all for working with you, hell I ain’t even opposed to working under you. But this here oil rig is mine and I will lay down my life before I let that change. Now. You want to keep my men fed, that great. All I can offer is fuel and a place to stay. If you keep us fed, and top up our guns when those landside scum empty our rounds then I can let you use the rig to base yourselves, let you use as much oil as you need and even have some of my guys help you keep your ship sailing, though I am sure you don't need that. Now We got room for people, we got room to supply but ain’t got room to place a factory of any sort. My advice if you wanting to build sommat like that. Go north. There are other rigs, they are standing but there ain’t no oil coming out. That or go up higher, to those real northern scottish isles. We got oil and we need food. We got room for you to operate from and we need ammo. But we can’t produce a single damn hat.” he replied.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Good to have you. You won't regret this.” The Captain held out his hand to the commander of the rig and grinned.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Commander took his hand and shook it firmly “So I guess we work for you then? I damn well hope you don’t make me live to regret this”<br>

"NH90-1 Clear to drop off SS-1, SS-2 and SS-3 to their assigned locations. NH90-2 Clear to drop off SS-4, SS-5 and SS-6 to their assigned locations." An officer said. <br>
<br>
"NH90-1, all snipers dropped. NH90-2, all snipers dropped." The pilots of their respective choppers replied."<br>
<br>
"Proceed to provide surveillance and fire cover to the grouns forces." The officer said.<br>
<br>
"Roger that." <br>
---<br>
"This is L2E-1, proceeding with caution. There are no signs of life- Shit, multiple heat signature appearing. And by multiple, I mean alot. Bandits! Permission to engage."<br>
<br>
"All forces, engage at will." The officer said. "Sniper forces, try to help minimize the causalties. NH-90's provide support. Good luck." The officer said.<br>
---<br>
Multiple bandits appeared with pipe rifles. Some jumped off from the windows and roofs and charges at them like barbarians. The Leopard 2 fired at will and took out a couple of bandits. The squads took cover and shot at the enemy. One soldier got shot right in the eye by a bandit. They advanced further towards the cathedral. The tank acted as their shield with it's armor, deflecting the bullets from the enemy. As they advance, more bandits keep appearing. They fought around 500 bandits when they arrived at the cathedral. There were hundreds of bodies lying around. After the chaos was over, a squad of 12 proceeded inside the cathedral. They found dead bodies hanging from the rafters and a man standing in.a pool of blood, eyes closed and what looks like praying with a dagger in his hands.<br>
---<br>
"Freeze! Drop the dagger and put your hands over your head." A soldier shouted. The squad surrounded the man and pointed their weapons at him. <br>
"Drop it or we'll shoot." Another one shouted. The man continued with his prayers. He then made a sign of the cross and stabbed himself.<br>
"This place is rotten." One said.<br>

"Reports." The Prime Minister asked the general.<br>
<br>
"500+ enemy deaths and 30 deaths on our side." The General replied.<br>
<br>
"30?! Why so many?" Asked the prime minister.<br>
<br>
"The numbers of the enemy were overwhelming. We have snipers all over the roof, choppers providing cover and a tank tanking for them. There were just too many." He said.<br>
<br>
"It's a big price to pay for securing Toledo. What's next? Recommendations?" Asked the PM.<br>
<br>
"Zaragoza. It has an air base. If we are to minimize the casualties. We need more fire power and better gear." Suggested the general.<br>
<br>
"Very well, we will take Zaragoza next. Prepare our troops." The Prime Minister ordered.<br>
<br>
"Yes, Sir." <br>

Royal Palace of Madrid<br>
"There were that many bandits near madrid?!" Exclaimed the King. "We should have cleared them sooner." <br>
<br>
"Sir, the Prime Minister has ordered the military to take Zaragoza. The general himself recommended it. He thinks there are military assets there." Said the woman in blue.<br>
<br>
"Let them do what they want." The King replied. "What of the current status of Toledo?"<br>
<br>
"More supplies and soldiers are being moved to Toledo." <br>
<br>
"Good. It will be occupied by our citizens soon." The King said<br>
---<br>

---<br>
"Shit." A soldier said. "Contact command. We got a problem here." <br>
<br>
"Reconnaissance squad to command, do you copy?" Said one soldier.<br>
<br>
"Yes, we copy." A voice was heard from their com device. "What happened? You guys were off the grid for a long time. We thought you guys were dead."<br>
<br>
"The bandits got us, but that is the least of your problems. There is another nation state in barcelona. Well-equipped and trained soldiers with functioning armed aircrafts."<br>
<br>
"Get out of there now, meet us at Zaragoza. It's a long way, but I believe you will get there. Good luck."<br>

Madrid Defense Forces Headquarters, Madrid, New Spain<br>
<br>
"This is gonna be a problem." Said the general. "We need troops at Zaragoza right away. Inform the PM and the royalty."<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center">Pionerskaya, Mother russia<br>
The great leader of the union of pionerskaya, Anastasia Petrovna, would be in large room with a makeshift podium in front of her. She was here for another morale speech, and previously had sent stalkers up to the surface [3] in radiation suits to scavenge. The room had banners upon the sides of the room having the union's flag upon them. After Anastasia had a drink she would walk up to the podium, and prepare a speech. She was not exactly great with talking to people, but since the union needed her she had no real alternative. Wearing ragged clothing, a red sweater and black pants. Anastasia would then walk up to the podium and rearrange her black hair, and begin her morale speech. "For fifty years, we have been sealed underground in the metro... We have survived the entire world being ended, we have survived each other, we have survived the endless onslaught of mutants every day and night, and we have survived for more than 40 years in the most impossible of conditions. While the rest of the metro has fallen, we have survived without outside help and was self-sufficient. The mutants had cleared out our stations, and we had cleared out their lives. Duscha Petrovna, Our greatest leader and savior. She had a dream, that one day we will rise from the underground and march to our salvation of saint petersburg. I have a dream that one day we will no longer be plagued with the worry of mutants, and the slaughter that comes along with them. I have a dream that that we will have our salvation, and no longer deal with overpopulation and nests of mutants in our midst... I have a dream that one day we shall truly free from the limitations of the land, and live upon the surface yet again as we use to!" She would pause as she had gotten too immersed. Anastasia would simply readjust her collar again and continue.<br>
<br>
"We are not a weak nation that simply collapses to anyone who dares try to annihilate us, we are the farmers, the soldiers, the workers, the engineers, and the heroes of the union of the metro, and we do not give up nor surrender to our foes! We will always survive in one form or another, and our legacy shall continue for centuries! For if one of us survive, we all shall survive. Nobody will be forgotten, left behind, or alone in the dark. For we are the Pionerskaya union, and we will never surrender!" After her speech had finished, she would proceed to leave to return to her home. The crowd simply just cheering, and a few people were also nodding.<br>
----------<br>
The surface.<br>
The stalkers would have started to leave the metro to the surface, being extremely vigilant to their surroundings. They were sent up for another scavenging run and consisted on individuals chosen by the leader herself. Yuri Petrov, Alexi Gagarin, and Marina Stanislavovna. All of them besides the "leader" of the team, Marina had shotguns while Marina had a preved rifle. There was not officially a leadership structure within the stalker core, and thus team leaders for a actual group would primarily be chosen for the most experience. They were instructed to attempt ignoring any possible surface mutants if possible, and keep themselves concealed should anyone still be alive. "It is too quiet for my liking..." Yuri had said, looking around the environment. "It has been a month since we were last here, I did not hear you complaining when you nearly got your ass ripped off." Alexi joked. "Silence you two, we cannot risk blowing our cover to anything still up here. We will not be going back home if we are discovered because of this." Marina ordered the two. Just in case they were attacked, they had backups such as string for some forms of traps upon the way among other mandatory equipment. They would also be given 5 filters for replacement should they actually need it. The team would also focus upon rearming/setting any traps they had left prior, should they have been triggered.​</div></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The Emperor knelt in the Hagia Sophia, head bowed in prayer in front of the Ecumenical Patriarch. Rising slowly, the Emperor looked the Patriarch in the eye. "It has come to my attention that Mutants are growing to be more of a problem. It is evident to me what I must do, and I believe you will agree." The Patriarch paused, waiting for the Emperor to continue. "I, Emperor Alexios Komnenos I, will attempt to reconcile Christianity in the face of these monsters." The Patriarch nodded his head, speaking in a deep, almost raspy voice. "Of course, My Emperor. I would recommend first sending envoys west, to Roma and the Vatican, as well as Moscow, the former head of the Orthodox Faith." The Patriarch paused, then.<br>
<br>
"Let it be done." <br>
<br>
Three days later, five men on horseback rode off - three heading north to Moscow, and two heading west to Rome. The next decision made by the Emperor was to send ships west to map out the coastlines that had been lost. <a href="/members/kazami42.34276/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="34276" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId14">

Alfonso raised a glass in a toast, his advisors and the rest of his court repeated the gesture. The entire nation of Andorra was lively this night, the mass of the army had returned from the successful taking of the eastern side of this mountain range known as the Pyrenees. Of course there was still the souls stationed along the previously built watch and signal towers, but they too were lively with celebration, at least that's what Alfonso hoped. Nevertheless it was a time of celebration, not worry. One of the courtiers asked Alfonso drunkenly, "What is it we'll do now oh great and wonderful king?". One of his advisors, most likely Ian responded, "Don't bother the boy with such matters, it's time for celebration!" With that there was a cheer and the merry group began chatting amongst themselves again. Alfonso sat there for a short while, then stood up, the entire room silencing. "Tomorrow we will being our march on the rest of Pyrenees, if we're to every truly start this Reconquista, we must have good footing." The room grew even more silent, the only noise being the crackling of the large fire. Much of the courtiers were worried, the taking of the Eastern Pyrenees was no simple task, it had taken months to successfully banish the mutated marmots and birds that populated the area. And according to scouts, the west was even more populated than the east. After what felt like hours, but what was really only a few minutes, Alfonso sat down. "Of course this doesn't mean we can't celebrate tonight!" Alfonso hollered, raising a glass in toast, the rest joining him and the room becoming once again lively.<br>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Alfonso sent out messengers to all the barracks throughout the Pyrenees, within 2 days time the army was amassed, of course leaving garrisons to protect the country while the army was busy doing the dirty work. Alfonso announced to the men the task of reclaiming the rest of the Pyrenees, for a better footing. They all responded with a cheer, the heavy clunking of feet and weapons acting as a response. Ian and Samuel would lead the army, splitting it as to cover the most ground possible. Alfonso and Sebastian would stay back in the capital of Andorra, watching over the nation and waiting for messengers to be sent back declaring areas were safe. Once declared safe, a small dispatch of engineers and a handful of soldiers would be sent as to build a watch and signal tower. These areas are estimated to be established within a weeks time, allowing the armies to have clear staging points to rid the Pyrenees of these mutated creatures and occasional raider hordes.<br>

<span style="font-size: 15px">The conquest was grueling, and slow going. There were no great casualties, rather the mutated beasts seemed to be cropping up from every inch of land possible. This made things tedious and slow. But once these towers had begun springing up the mutants slowly started to either recede into their wretched hiding places or were swiftly cut down by the men-at-arms. The skirmishes throughout mostly consisted of large packs of marmots facing off against the soldiers, or the occasional bandits taking potshots and then running away as they realized their men were being struck down. The only true instance of casualties was when a handful of infantrymen were sent to eradicate a small nest of marmots, and were ambushed by a small raider gang. Though taking causalities the group was able to scare back these raiders, though the losses, minuscule to larger nations, was devastating to Andorra. Nonetheless the army was finally able to take the Pyrenees, and establish these safe areas with signal and watch towers. </span><br>

</div><span style="font-size: 18px"><b>The Establishment of Civilization in the West</b></span><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Once the army returned, and Alfonso heard of the losses, he grieved. Such manpower was vital to the nation, to the reconquista as a whole. To try his best to balance out the losses, Alfonso enlisted Samuel on yet another recruitment run. Samuel obliged and began sending out messengers to the nomadic tribes and gangs he had seen while out in the field. Though not all truly joined, there were definite numbers from this recruitment. The battle for the West was not in vain, more land was gained, the manpower somewhat replenished, and much of the resources were beginning to fill the warehouses. Alfonso himself decided to travel the Pyrenees, meeting with any peasant he could, trying his best to make sure they were happy and content with his ruling, that they would follow his will to the end. <br>

</div><b>Outside Powers</b><br>
Once the nation of Andorra finally controlled the interiors of the Pyrenees, Alfonso set his mind to another matter. Though simply rumors among the populace, there has been talk of similar small countries rising up from the ashes of the wasteland. To Alfonso and his advisors not all this were rumors. In fact an emissary from this nation called "Rome" had arrived offering a seat in their republic. Alfonso , respectfully declined the tempting offer, sending the messenger off. This encounter was no doubt an eye opener to Alfonso. For if this Rome had found out about the mountainous nation of Andorra, there will no doubt be others who will hear the rumors of this land, and it's extremely probable that they won't be as well-mannered and civil as this Rome. Not wanting to be left in the dark, Alfonso sent small bands of scouts to basically patrol around the Pyrenees, and if any sign of an organized power was seen, it would immediately be sent back to Alfonso.</span><br>

The Roman navy, newly appointed Princeps Senatus at it's helm, Upon the coast it struck deals with small tribes and fishing villiages to Join the Roman Republic. Many were eager to join as tgey were proud of their Italian heritage and some simply for the benefits and rewards that could be mined through such a venture. Though they found many small bands with tools and boats they mounted as little gain for the New Republic, but little gain soon turns into prosperous reward. Many such ventures were flowing from Rome in order to get many through peaceful offerings. Many did refuse, but the same Accepted balancing the Scales. While out on the Journey they recieved word from those around Genoa of a power in Milan they docked a small clutch of men, Tullius included, marched to the city to offer a spot within the Republic, they shared some gifts of wine and bread intending to intice the power into joining the Republic.<br>

Some of those within the senate were outraged at the killing of the messangers. In return they sent four men 2 to be given to Constantinople as compensation along with a small chest of Asses (Roman Coins).

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="font-size: 22px"><span style="color: #ff0000"><u>Empire of Aquitaine</u></span></span></span></b><br>
<br>​</div><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: #ff0000"><b><u>Place de la Bourse, Bordeaux, Imperial Aquitaine</u></b><br>
</span></span><br>
Almost a year ago, the Aquitaine imperial military was able to capture Place de la Bourse; a mayor resident building of Bourdeaux during the last days of the French Republic during the so-called "Aquitainian colonization in the surface". The Place de la Bourse became the imperial palace or the resident building of the Aquitainian emperor which the first and current emperor of Aquitaine; Enzo of House Moreau, resides there.<br>
<br>
Today, the Emperor invites all generals of the Aquitaine imperial military to discuss about the internal affairs and external affairs of the Empire, especially about the rumours of nations, rising from the ashes just like Imperial Aquitaine.<br>
<br>
"Your grace, the Imperial Navy have just struggle to embark on the tip of this city, we must control the western coast as soon as possible." the navy general replied. "I thought we already control the western coast of this city?" Emperor Enzo replied. "The mutants and the bandits control the western coast, your grace. Our settlers are having difficult to colonise the western lands because of the hostility." the navy general replied. "Then we'll clear the western coast for the sake of our navy." all of the generals nodded at Emperor Enzo's remarks. "Anything else?" the Emperor asked the generals.<br>
<br>
A high-rank officer said, "There is an outsider, your grace, we detained him, saying that he is a messenger from Rome." the Emperor raises his eyebrows, "Rome, you say?" the Emperor said. "Yes, your grace, Rome." the Emperor paused for a moment, "Tell the guards to watch the so-called messenger, I will ask him personally." all of the generals nodded at Emperor Enzo's remarks. <br>
<br>
Another high-rank officer said, "And your grace, our spies in the south said they found a settlement in Eastern Pyrennes. It's called Andorra, your grace." Emperor Enzo looked at the high-rank officer, "Andorra is a pre-war nation, are you sure they are <i>Andorra</i>?" the Emperor asked. The high-rank officer nodded. "We'll send a messenger to Eastern Pyrennes, hopefully, we could establish a contact with foreign nations after all these years." the Emperor stand up and all of the generals stand up. "Glory to Aquitaine, gentlemen!" and the generals shouted, "Glory to Aquitaine! Hail Moreau!" and the Emperor said, "Dismissed." and then the generals left Place de la Bourse to do their things. Emperor Enzo decided to go to Centre Pénitentiaire de Bourdeaux-Gradignan to meet the messenger from Rome.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #ff0000"><b><u>Centre Pénitentiaire de Bourdeaux-Gradignan, Bordeaux, Imperial Aquitaine</u></b></span><br>
<br>
Emperor Enzo arrived at the Centre Pénitentiaire de Bourdeaux-Gradignan, accompanied by his elite guards. Most of the prisoners were the enemies of the Empire and communists. As Emperor Enzo passed by the hallway, the guards would automatically say, "Glory to Aquitaine! Hail Moreau!" which was a common greetings in the Aquitainian society. Surely, the young and sharp-minded Emperor truly change the Aquitainian society. The warden of this city jail approached the Emperor and does the common greeting of an Aquitanian. "Your grace, the messenger is at the interrogation room, follow me." the Emperor and his elite guards would follow the warden until they arrive at the interrogation room. The Emperor would enter the interrogation room while the warden and the Emperor's elite guards would watch outside the interrogation room (since there is a mirror, yknow). The Emperor would stand 5'11 ft tall with a fantastic noble suit and an armband of a Aquitainian lion's head on his right shoulder, looking at the messenger.<br>
<br>
The Emperor said, "You're a messenger from <i>Rome</i>, yes? Welcome to Aquitaine, outsider. What were you doing here on this lands?" <a href="/members/locklaklazarii.34251/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="34251" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId36">

 <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #ff0000"><b><u>Western Coast of Bourdeaux</u></b></span><br>
<br>
General Adam was appointed by Emperor Enzo of House Moreau, to capture the Western Coast of Bourdeaux so that the the Aquitainian settlers could settle in the western coast of Bourdeaux, Aquitainian Imperial Navy could embark in the western coast and has its own headquarters since the port of Inner Bourdeaux is occupied by many ships, especially the traders and merchant ships from nearby settlements. General Adam and his 1,000 men would march to Weatern Coast of Bourdeaux to eliminate all mutant creatures and bandits who are roaming the western coast of Bourdeaux. The skirmishes would start between the bandits and General Adam's army and would last for several days, that includes for wiping out the mutant creatures also.<br>
<br>
After the deadly Aquitanian conquest of the Western Coast of Bourdeaux, the armies of General Adam would return to the capital city of Bourdeaux, and the people would celebrate General Adam's army, hopefully, the Emperor would give him a marvellous reward. The Aquitainian settlers could now occupy the western coast of Bourdeaux and the Aquitainian Imperial Navy would leave the port of Bourdeaux to move from their new headquarters from the western coast of Bourdeaux.<br>
<br>
Effect:<br>
- Empire of Aquitaine now controls the western coast of Bourdeaux<br>
- Remaining bandits would be sent to Centre Pénitentiaire de Bourdeaux-Gradignan<br>
- Estimated three hundred Aquitainian soldiers would be slained in the conquest<br>
- Mutant creatures are eliminated in western coast of Bourdeaux<br>
- The Imperial Navy HQ would be transferred to the western coast of Bourdeaux.<br>
- Aquitanian settlers finally settled in western coast of Bourdeaux.<br>
- Population increased to 600 (Total population 40,600)<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #ff0000"><b><u>Eastern Pyrenees, Kingdom of Andorra</u></b><br>
</span><br>
A week later, the Aquitanian messenger would finally arrive at the nation after trekking the harsh Eastern Pyrenees mountains. The messenger awaits for any response from the Andorrans. <a href="/members/charmingcthulhu.6612/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="6612" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId38">

The Emperor would smirk and looked seriously at the messenger. As the Emperor approach, he said, "Roman Republic, eh? It seems history repeats himself, huh-.." the young and sharp-minded Emperor would continue as he moves closer to the messenger, "What news should you bring back? Your body, of course. You will never get here alive because if I let you, you will tell your ancient fanatic friends to invade our glorious nation!" the Emperor would unsheath his combat knife, stabbing the messenger in the stomach and chest ten times. Things are bloody messy and the Emperor's suit was covered by the messenger's blood including the interrogation room. The Emperor said, "Glory to Aquitaine, my friend!" the Emperor then sliced the messenger's throat which the messenger died.<br>
<br>
The warden and the Emperor's elite guards were shocked. The Emperor calls his elite guards to clean the mess and to lift the messenger's body, the warden entered. The Emperor said, "Send this corpse to Rome, I will give them a reward and a letter of course." the Emperor would chuckle. The warden said, "Yes, your grace-.."<br>
<br>
The Emperor left a note to the messenger's body. The message is in French, written in blood. The messenger's blood (which the Romans couldn't understand unless one of them speaks/knows the French language):<br>
<br>
"<i>L'histoire se répète, vos dirigeants ou vos descendants sont bons dans l'histoire, vous savez? Ils sont en mesure de relancer la République romaine et nous sommes là, votre messager stupide est mort car nous connaissons vos méthodes. Vous ne vous mettez jamais à pied sur les terres françaises. Gloire à Aquitaine, Hail Moreau!"<br>
</i><br>
English translation: "History repeats itself, your leaders or your descendants are very good at history, you know? They are able to revive the Roman Republic and here we are, your foolish messenger is dead because we know your methods. You will never ever set on foot on the French lands. Glory to Aquitaine, Hail Moreau!"<br>
<br>
After that, the messenger's body is covered with dirty towel and with the French letter written in blood, would be sent back to Rome accompanied by a caravan. It is estimated to arrive for two weeks.<br>

The blood that covered Uppsala was already washed clean by the rain and the efforts to help. As expansion continued the Queen knew that they needed allies. She knew they were incredibly unlikely to find any organised governments willing to cooperate rather then simply fighting for domination. She hoped, however, that there would be some, further afield, willing to work together so that each may both dominate their own regions. The Queen left the council in charge until her son returned to take over the mantle. She set off with her floating palace, the two firing platforms and a transport full of troops. They set off north, following the coastline. They were not planning on crossing the Baltic and risk facing the demons the lie within. They would eventually travel back down the other side. Hoping to find potential allies in Finland or the Baltic states. <br>
<br>
Up in the Swedish foothills the Prince was loading a truck to return south. The bear had been hauled down from the mountain attracting many animals to seek its carcass for food. Most avoided the group, however a large, but fearful wolf followed them. It was as big as growing teen and would be more then capable of taking down a man had it had a pack. But it was alone. The Prince offered the wolf some food. Hesitantly it stalked over to him. It grabbed the food and then disappeared into the trees. They continued rigging the bear up into the pickup, a tedious job considering the size of the beast. As they were about finished the wolf returned. The party had two pick ups, one for the catch and the other for the men. The Prince put food on the other truck and the wolf eventually went for it. They finished securing the bear and the wolf was still sitting on the bay of the pick up, eating the food offered to it. The guards were about to scare it away so they could get going but the prince motioned them to stay. He crawled onto the back with it, slinking forwards slowly. The wolf saw this and began to back away and cower. Then it looked like it had found some deep confidence and moved forward, nuzzling the prince. He ordered the guards to take three men in each cab and said that he would ride in the back, with his new friend "Take us back slow, avoid the worse trails and if we are lucky then we get this beautiful creature home. If we do that surely it is a sign from the gods that we are favoured!" he called to them. Soon they set off, on alert for danger and ready to fight anyone that tried to stop them. Luckily it was only a few hours back to Stockholm.​</div></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 22px">Rapla</span>​</div><span style="font-size: 15px"><br>
Protective Allies, along with some of the Recruits who voluntarily joined the mobilization, march towards Rapla. They rested the night a little down the road from the town, before approaching it in the morning. After a brief negotiation with the Raiders, the enemy army was split into two factions. A few of them were crazy enough to attack the army that vastly over-numbered them, while the rest wanted to take things peacefully and either leave or join the Union. In the end it resulted in a small battle between over a 100 Livonian troops and 17 raiders, most of whom end up dying. 6 of the BU troops got somewhat larger injuries and 1 was killed.<br>
Soon after the battle the Livonian army mostly withdrew, leaving 26 troops to guard the town, along with a stash of weapons for any locals that wanted to join the militia. Any raiders that weren't killed in the battle or wanted to join Livonia instead of leaving were taken as prisoners and were soon put to do forced labor.<br>
An election was set up in the region, where the people voted in a (temporary) leader for the area. An well-known pro-Livonian farmer won the election and soon started work on integrating Rapla into the Baltic Union. It also didn't take long for a trade route to pop up between the two towns.<br>
With the newly granted freedom, a few people from the region decided to migrate to Pärnu. This was slightly counter-balanced by a few people from Pärnu migrating to Rapla to claim any free land for their own farming and the soldiers garrisoned there. The garrison soldiers also started training the local Militia to get a level of skill that'd match the average Protective Ally.<br>
</span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 22px">Tallinn</span>​</div><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">The scouts had continued on their way after Rapla, reaching Tallinn. The town and the way to it was quite irradiated by the fallout, multiple mutated beasts had attacked them, but the scouts had managed to shoo or kill them off.<br>
The city itself was in chaos, gangs and raiders ruled the street, with no larger ruler existing over the area. The scouts also found a few bands of peaceful survivors, but there wasn't any group big enough to fight against the raiders and bandits in the area. It was clear that without the help of an outside power, there was no way this town was going to become any less bloody.</span><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 22px">Riga</span>​</div><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">As the scouts reached Riga they were, surprisingly, met with large walls protecting the town. Turned out, that Riga, while now smaller than in population than Pärnu, had managed to build up a mostly working society. It was directly ruled by the people - the town was guarded by a militia force of around a 1000 volunteers, who acted as both the police and the military. They also had a small courthouse where larger disputes were settled. The economy consisted of free, untaxed, shops, farms, etc.<br>
It didn't take long for trade caravans to start frequenting between Pärnu and Riga.</span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Portman had been happy when he got word that Sumy had been captured, and would sit in his office to celebrate with wine. The best part wasn't even that, no, after destroying the 400 strong mutant clan, they had managed to capture a plane, a Cessna 152, it was, and with this, scouting the lands would be easier, and more efficient. Plus Portman had plans, plans to scout over Russia and check the city of Moscow. "If the rumors were true, then bunkers had been built there before everything had went to shit, and those supplies could change my efforts for the better" he mumbled to himself, now calling his guard over, "send word, yes, that the scouting mission would be a go" he finished, waiting for the guard to close the door, putting his feet up on the desk.<br>
 ~<br>
Soliers received news almost immediately that the scouting mission was a go, and the commander had things speed up. They had to paint the plane first, black with a red stripe on each side, "UF" (Ukrainian Federation), painted on white in the stripes. The plane would be flown by two advanced, one with a telescope to see Moscows current state, then a convoy would be sent if decided.<br>
<b>Captured Sumy, Ukraine <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Charles rubbed his temples as he looked at the reports. No matter how he looked at it the problem would not change, their oil supplies were running drastically low. For the past forty years the BSC had run without a hitch. They had built fruit groves, ammunitions factories, simple pipe guns, and a protective wall.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sure they had had their fair share of problems like figuring out how to pump water into the city from non irradiated rivers and streams, or the flu outbreak of 2047, but this was by far their biggest problem yet.<br>
<br>
<br>
Without oil and gas they can’t run the pumps for the water systems, they can’t fuel the patrol boats and Gunships, they can’t run the wielders for the gunsmither. They needed oil or else they would not be able survive.<br>
<br>
<br>
Before him sat a map of Europe. Every oil field was marked out on it with big black circles. In the netherlands there is Schoonebeek, but it is so far away the oil received from it would be too little.The oil fields in germany were even worse off, but england the oil fields in England are close enough to work.<br>
<br>
<br>
Looking over england he sees his salvation, Kimmeridge. It's just across the channel, and close enough that a cargo ship could be outfitted with tanks, and shipped across then be back in just a day or two.<br>
<br>
<br>
He had decided, they would take the oil field, they had to.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The waves crashed upon the deck, the seas were rougher than had been anticipated but they had made it. The ship's captain looked out at the shore and shook his head. His scraggly grey beard dipped with salt water. He picked up the ship's com system and it rang with a melancholy scree. He waited a moment before his stiff old voice announced, “We will have to postpone the landing until the weather clears up. No landing can be done in this storm.”<br>
<br>
<br>
He shook his head as he placed down the mic. The survival of the commonwealth depended on this journey. Every last bit of fuel was pumped into this journey if they didn’t get this oil they were doomed, they had brought 500 men of the CPM and 2,000 of the militia. A full contingency force, but now here they sit waiting for the rain to subside.<br>

The ride into Tver was less eventful than Roman envisioned. He imagined an organized resistance of sorts, the fight you would expect from a cornered animal, one that bites and claws until it kills it's Hunter or dies. But as his railtank and those that followed rumbled into the city, the few humans that had witnessed their arrival disappeared indoors. Coming to an intersection in the railroad tracks, he raised his voice above the din of the engine and hopped out of the vehicle, his boots thudding and knees buckling at the sudden contact with the ground. Quickly switching the tracks over, he climbed back into his shell and continued onwards. The scouts had mentioned the Metahumans were concentrated around the airport, and to the airport were they going, but this silence was worrisome to the tank commander. Not a single vehicle that the Moscow Union operated ran on anything but diesel. Diesel engines had a ton of advantages over gasoline ones. They went farther on the same amount of fuel. They were easier to maintain. If hit, they were less likely to explode into flame. But they didn't run clean. If the Metahumans could put two and two together and connect these odd black plumes with the appearance of railcars... Roman shuddered to think what they could do with that information. It scared him witless that they might already know and think and be thinking about those odd humans from the ground beneath Moscow. From what he knew, they had thought. Maybe not as clear, maybe not as concise, but thought nonetheless. Mind power simpler than that was what put the ancients on the top of the heap over the bears and wolves. Give those freaks a good few centuries and millennia and they too could outnumber the species that had destroyed the world that they now prosper in. Roman sighed as his railtank made the final approach to the airport. Thankfully the last stretch of tracks were uncluttered with debris, for getting out here would be a death warrant. In the distance he could see the hulking forms of a pair of Metahumans and a cold dread settled into his heart. The pair spotted the railcars around the time he sighted them and their visages contorted into that of unimaginable hatred and primal desire to kill. Peering down into the fighting compartment, Roman gave his orders for the upcoming battle. "Vaughn, stop here. Only fire when you make out their eyes. Boris, keep Dushka cool and supplied with enough ammunition to satisfy her hunger."<br>
<br>
"Da." They replied in unison, setting about their assigned tasks. Roman looked into the distance, beyond the small-though-growing stream of abominations that now poured out from the depths of the airport. On the other side another group of railcars had split off from the main party and were flanking them, but no reports of gunfire had yet reached his ears. In all, they had tens of railcars, and about three hundred of some of the finest soldiers the Moscow Union could assemble. As the ranks of their brethren surged forward to their aid and formed a proper firing line, he worried how much more the Metahumans themselves have changed since their last encounter nearly eleven years ago.</span></div>

"Still no Moscow" the equal ranked advanced said, although more focused on his job, the flyer had enjoyed his position, and only calmed himself apon refueling. As far as he could see, the wasteland didn't just occur in Ukraine, and what he looked at proved it, as he saw rubble and weird landmasses, parts of buildings. It was ironically enough when they were flying above Moscow, that the piolet spoke "the hell, are you seeing this!? It's live" he finished, as the passenger readied his telescope to see guard towers and live structures....including an abundance of railcars and railroads. "He needs to know about this" the passenger said, watching as the piolet nodded in agreement.<br>

<br>
The team had slowly and carefully walked the surface, resetting some basic tripwire bullet traps with the bullet primarily being the makeshift shotgun shell on the ground for foot injury. It was slightly more difficult to rig a shell in this way, than the normal way back in the metro but it was not impossible. However, a few people had died previously attempting to do the same due to triggering it themselves. After they were done resetting some of the traps, they would begin moving again. The purpose of the traps were thought to be attempting to scare away intruders, but also act as a alarm should anyone actually be in the area. They would then hear something unknown to them, "What the fuck is that?" Yuri asked as a sound overhead was heard. "Get inside. Now!" marina had ordered them as they would quickly take cover in the nearest ruined building. Alexi simply crawling on the ground after quickly getting down, eventually getting inside the building as well. They would just wait it out, and keep looking around the building should anyone be around. "I'm going up, stay here and do not alert anyone that we are here if you want to live." Marina ordered again, climbing up the stairs with her scoped preved rifle to see what was happening. They would also attempt being quiet, as they were unsure if anyone or thing was inside the building with them. Alexi remaining near a window, and Yuri beginning to check the structure by himself. While Marina was upstairs, she had discovered that a outpost was nearby which unsettled her slightly. Having to deal with whatever was coming from the skies, and possibly someone else being here. After a few minutes, Alexi had also come up stairs to check if the team leader was alright. She had showed him that a outpost was in the area before taking her gun back. "We may not be the only ones alive up here, but we cannot risk finding it out." She said to Alexi, then trying to find the source of the noise. Alexi simply nodding and just going back downstairs again, and then changing out his gasmask filter.<br>

<span style="font-size: 15px">The Kingdom of Andorra was again celebrating. This time for a similar but different reason. The entirety of the Pyrenees was under the Kingdom's control. The entirety of the Kingdom was alive this night, mainly the capital Andorra la Vella, but many of the villages within the Pyrenees were too celebrating.  Even Alfonso and his Advisors loosened up and were celebrating, drinking with the courtiers and stuffing their faces full of the roasted marmot and extravagant fruits. Everything was going swimmingly, Alfonso gave a drunken speech slurring every word, "This is jsut the beginning! We now have a foot hold, and soon... Soon all of the Iberian Peninsula will be under our control!" The court cheered and continued on with the celebration.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 18px"><b>The Beasts of Night</b></span><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Though the celebration went well into the late of night, it eventually began to die down, each courtier leaving the hall in a stumble to their own rooms or homes. The court was practically empty now, all that remained was a few passed out courtiers who were being carried off to their rooms by the maids, the King's guards, and Alfonso who was in conversation with Ian. They had walked out onto a balcony, which overlooked most of Andorra la Vella, the signal towers standing out on the mountains in the bright sky. Ian patted Alfonso on the back, "Your father would be proud." Alfonso sighed and took in the night breeze, the distinct almost acidic aftertaste that came as a consequence of the nuclear war. "That he would be Ian. That he would be, " Alfonso took another breath and was about to continue what he was saying when he saw Ian peering off to the distance. Alfonso followed his eyes and in the distance, saw the signal towers begin to light one by one. Alfonso's smile faded, "The Romans..." Ian grabbed Alfonso by the shoulders, "Romans!? What is this talk!?" Alfonso broke from Ian's grasp running out of the court and to his quarters, "It's a long story, alert the towns folk, assemble the army!" Ian stood there dumbstruck, seeing the candlelight and lanterns of the village slowly beginning to flicker illuminating the street.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Daybreak</b></span><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Alfonso emerged from his chambers, tightening the buckles of his father's cuirass. He hurried down the halls, the commotion from outside emanating and echoing throughout.  As he opened the front door, stumbling while strapping his father's basket bastard sword, Ian and Samuel greeted him as he walked out, along with a small contingent of the army. "Where's the rest?" Alfonso questioned, peering to the sun beginning to rise over the peaks, the first still visible in the signal towers. "Sebastian has them organized near the center, waiting for your command." Alfonso set off towards the center his armor clanking with every step. Soon the center was reached, and Sebastian greeted the king.  Alfonso stepped up to the elevated position, overlooking the cramped center filled with knights, infantrymen, archers, and the onlooking civilian or child. "As you all know, the fires have been lit, something is wrong, and I have reason to believe... we might be getting attacked by an outside force..." Alfonso paused, allowing the messengers to run around and relay what he said to the parts of the army that couldn't hear him, all the while the army whispered amongst themselves. "We will follow the towers to the source tower, and see what's amiss, and if need be, remove this source of worry from out great kingdom!" The crowd cheered as the commanders began rounding up there forces, Alfonso joining them.<br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 18px"><b>The Hunt</b></span><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">The army began marching to the West, not knowing what troubles may lay ahead of them, simply following their King's orders. Sebastian had stayed back at the capital to watch things over while the King was away. The army had been split into smaller bands as to quickly cover ground. A force would approach the towers asking if they were the source, and if not the tower guards would point them towards the tower that set their light before theirs. This went on for awhile, the second day just rising over the horizon. Alfonso was no doubt afraid of the possibility that the well mannered Romans could have betrayed them.  He was marching with his band of knights, archers, and infantrymen, numbering around 60 in total, him being the commander. As they marched they saw coming at them a messenger, waving towards Alfonso and soon catching up with the band. "Your majesty, a contingent found the source tower, they're waiting for you, you'll want to see this." Alfonso immediately asked the messenger to lead him to the contingent, and he sent his own messengers to the locations of the other parts of the army as to have them gather at the source tower. They soon arrived, and what Alfonso saw would forever haunt his memories. The tower laid destroyed before him, mangled corpses and wooden logs lie everywhere. Large footsteps and broken arrows litter the ground, these were large creatures, larger than any Alfonso had known. it was silent, the broken flag of Andorra waving gently in the wind, when, one of the soldiers called out, "Can you hear that?" Answers of What and similar questions arose, but eventually everyone began hearing the same thing. Large thuds, the ground began to shake, something big was coming, and fast.<br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 18px"><b>A Battle Like No Other</b></span><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Alfonso thinking quickly began yelling orders at his minuscule force of 70. He positioned the 20 something archers on nearby high ground, the infantrymen placed between the archers and the direction of the sounds. The 10 odd knights stationed behind the infantry men, to join in the melee once the first blow had been struck. All was silent besides the thuds for what seemed like hours when an archer called out, "What in gods name!?" As he called out a roar erupted from beyond the ridge that contingent was facing. Alfonso hurried to where the archer had been and peered over, seeing a creature like none other. A large furry creature, with what looked like a bony head and legs, the front part being much more elevated than the back most likely due to the odd legs. Alfonso first questioned his sanity but then screamed, "Archers fire on my command!" Each archer notched an arrow as the creatures, counting about 2 larger ones and 2 slightly smaller ones, became much more visible. These creatures were charging, fast, they were not going to stop for any soldier, Alfonso knew he had to stop his men from stacking to limit casualties. "Infantry disperse to higher ground!" A horn range out, signalling the order and the infantry began doing as told, dispersing to higher ground. As the creatures became closer it was evident that these things were armored heavily in the front, an almost chitin or bone like material covering the majority of their front facing legs and head. There was no way his archers could land even an injuring shot on these creatures from the front, so, in an act of risk, he ordered about 15 infantrymen to drop their weapons and run to the right flanks of the creatures. They hesitated, but began running, eventually they were to the right of the creatures, and one of the larger ones turned to face these unarmed men. "Fire!" Alfonso screamed not waiting a second more. A hail of arrows erupted from the hilltop positioning, many landing squarely on the open creature, enough to set it off balance and force it to fall on it's side. This did little more than to anger the other two, one of which began charging at the infantry on a nearby hilltop, and the other charging directly at Alfonso. Before drawing his sword, "Attack the rear where there is no armor, hold these creatures back, reinforcements will come!" As he said that on the nearby hilltop the large beast made connection with the infantry, it's charge sending a few back while quashing some unfortunate souls. "Fire at will!" Alfonso yelled while charging to meet with his nearby infantrymen, one of the beasts still charging at him.  A small band was quickly able to thrust their swords into the creature on it's side, though it kicked for a bit, it soon went still but the other two were very much still a threat. On the nearby hilltop the creature had stopped charging, giving the men chances to stab at the rear legs. This kiting tactic worked relatively efficiently though it was hard to tell if this creature was even getting wounded. On the other hand the other beast was still charging directly at Alfonso, he had nowhere to run, so thinking quickly he stood still plating his feet firmly into the ground. He ordered his archers to move to his right flank along with the infantrymen. Once the creature became increasingly close, leaving it's side completely open to the archers and pikemen, he ordered them to fire. The beast was obviously shocked by the sudden impact of the arrows and the thrusts of the pikes, it began to stumble but what still charging at high speeds towards the King. As luck would have it the creatures right leg became hooked on a boulder and it tripped, landing with a great thud and skidding on the ground it's armored skull still hitting the King knocking him back with a loud thud and a groan. As the light faded from Alfonso's eyes he could hear the horns of an approaching contingent, and then it all faded.<br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 18px"><b>The Aftermath</b></span><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Alfonso awoke with a pounding headache and an aching breath. He had been laid on a bed of furs near the battlefield, his armor removed and his chest bandaged. He sat up and surveyed the area. The three beasts lay slain and among them, countless soldiers laying still. He began to feel his vision fade as he laid against the furs again, allowing the softness to ease his headache into slumber. <br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Back Home</b></span><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Alfonso awoke yet again, this time with a lesser headache, easier breathing, and within his own bed. He stumbled out of bed, slipping on some trousers, being careful not to touch his bandaged chest. He stumbled out of his quarters and into the court. There sat his three advisors talking amongst themselves. When they three saw him they offered for him to join, that he did. They began to fill him in on what had happened while he laid asleep. The third beast was finally able to be taken down, many losses were counted on the battlefield. Alfonso began to mourn, there was no good news, these lives had been lost for nothing. That's when Ian spoke up. Apparently another contingent of scouts had found a nearby cave, and in that cave were what to be assumed were the offspring of these beasts. Docile when approached by the men, Ian decided it would be best to bring these creatures back. It was a pain no doubt, but eventually they were able to herd a sizable amount, count 11-14, each varying in gender. Samuel had suggested we could use these creatures as a livestock of sorts, while Ian had the crazy idea of putting knights atop the beasts, to act as a sort of cavalry. Alfonso favored this idea of men riding atop these great beasts, he saw what they could do, he knew what type of power his military would have even if only 20 odd knights were riding these creatures. Of course this was only one herd, there were many more out there in the mountains. Aswell taming these creatures would not be an easy feat, but Ian dedicated Sebastian dedicated himself to the task, while Ian would organize military contingents to hunt out the lairs of these creatures to hopefully ring them back to the "stables" outside of the city near the training grounds. As these ideas were being talked about between the four, a guard interrupted, "Your majesty, we have a another messenger, a man claiming to be from an 'Empire of Aquitaine'. He wishes to discuss with you my liege." The four sat for a moment looking at each other and then Alfonso said, "Bring him in... But keep your eyes on him." The guard nodded and left the court, reappearing a few moments later with a man. Alfonso had him seated across the table, watching him intently. <br>
"What is it you'd like to speak about, messenger of Aquitaine?"</span>​</div><a href="/members/rysesaka.11280/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="11280" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId91">

<span style="font-size: 15px">Alfonso awoke yet again, this time with a lesser headache, easier breathing, and within his own bed. He stumbled out of bed, slipping on some trousers, being careful not to touch his bandaged chest. He stumbled out of his quarters and into the court. There sat his three advisors talking amongst themselves. When they three saw him they offered for him to join, that he did. They began to fill him in on what had happened while he laid asleep. The third beast was finally able to be taken down, many losses were counted on the battlefield. Alfonso began to mourn, there was no good news, these lives had been lost for nothing. That's when Ian spoke up. Apparently another contingent of scouts had found a nearby cave, and in that cave were what to be assumed were the offspring of these beasts. Docile when approached by the men, Ian decided it would be best to bring these creatures back. It was a pain no doubt, but eventually they were able to herd a sizable amount, count 11-14, each varying in gender. Samuel had suggested we could use these creatures as a livestock of sorts, while Ian had the crazy idea of putting knights atop the beasts, to act as a sort of cavalry. Alfonso favored this idea of men riding atop these great beasts, he saw what they could do, he knew what type of power his military would have even if only 20 odd knights were riding these creatures. Of course this was only one herd, there were many more out there in the mountains. Aswell taming these creatures would not be an easy feat, but Ian dedicated Sebastian dedicated himself to the task, while Ian would organize military contingents to hunt out the lairs of these creatures to hopefully ring them back to the "stables" outside of the city near the training grounds. As these ideas were being talked about between the four, a guard interrupted, "Your majesty, we have a another messenger, a man claiming to be from an 'Empire of Aquitaine'. He wishes to discuss with you my liege." The four sat for a moment looking at each other and then Alfonso said, "Bring him in... But keep your eyes on him." The guard nodded and left the court, reappearing a few moments later with a man. Alfonso had him seated across the table, watching him intently. <br>

The young and good-looking Aquitanian messenger was amazed that a pre-war nation survived the bombs due to its geographic strategic location. He followed the guard to the court and saw the King of this nation, he also glanced at the guard as he left the court. The Aquitanian messenger was wearing a noble-like suit with an armband of a Aquitanian lion's head on his right shoulder. He then looked at the King. He then speak with a Aquitanian/Southern French accent.<br>

"Greetings your highness, our Empire is seeking trade and a friendly relationship, or possibly an alliance. This is the second time we've encountered another nation. The reason why we want to establish contact with other nations because others are rising from the ashes such as <i>Rome</i>. And our great Emperor, Enzo of House Moreau stated that Rome will be the threat to our great nations in the future. We are your northern neighbor, your highness. If you're asking where our Empire is located, we control the southwestern chunk of former Francia." <a href="/members/charmingcthulhu.6612/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="6612" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId99">

"Ah well, we have spoken to these Romans, and I had received no ill-intent from these men. But to each their own. And, same as with how I responded to the Romans, I will have to respectfully decline any approach to an alliance as our nation would like to stay neutral and independent, but trade could be possible. The only thing is, we aren't exactly a valuable Kingdom, we have all the essentials re require, but no true luxuries. For now, why don't you go back to Aquitaine and tell your leader that we acknowledge your existence and possibility as allies, but currently we are hard pressed with different matters. Thank you for relaying this message." With that Alfonso ushers towards the guard to have this somewhat lavish messenger escorted out.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'georgia'">Kingdom of Madrid<br>
<br>
Outskirts of Zaragoza, New Spain<br>
<br>
Two M1130 Command Vehicles were present in the temporary military post. The officers inside it would be taking command of the operation. The King specifically ordered them to minimize the casualties as possible and try to deal with the bandits in a more humane way. Avoid genocide and engage with them diplomatically. This would ensure that there would be little casualties in the MDF and would also earn them new friends.<br>
<br>
After a few hours, the scouts came back and reported that there are 5 bandit groups with different leaders. All groups are assumed to be independent. The scouts also estimated around 500 mutants scattered all around the city. All 25 snipers were first positioned in the roofs of buildings across Zaragoza, then a squad would be sent to each of the bandit groups. The squads were given gifts to Give to the bandits. The squad leaders were brought to the bandit leaders. The bandits asked why they were given gifts and the soldier replied that it was a sign of goodwill. The soldiers also gave them an offer to join the Kingdom of Madrid. They would be well taken care of while still living in Zaragoza. They would still also be able to govern their respective territories. The soldiers also offered to clear the city of mutants. The bandits agreed. The Green signal was then given for the military to begin their cleaning operation on Zaragoza.<br>
---<br>
The snipers on the roof were given the go to open fire on all mutants they see. Their sniper rifles were equipped with suppressors so the noise is minimized and they will not attract a large horde of mutants. The mutants were oblivious that the mutant next to it were shot directly in the head. The snipers continued to lessen their numbers.<br>
The Spec Ops were also tasked in infiltrating multiple buildings and clear the mutants inside it. Half of them were armed with suppressed ACR, while the others were armed with supressed FN Scars. They would also try to snipe the mutants from windows if need be. After the mutant numbers has been lowered, the ground forces began to move in. The ground forces encountered 5 6 feet tall green mutants in the airfield. The green mutants were invulnerable to rifles, so the tanks took care of them with High Explosive shells. The city was eventually cleared of mutants. A Eurofighter-typoon, cesna 172 and multiple plane parts were found in the air base. The parts were estimated to be enough to assemble another eurofighter-typhoon. The found arsenals were brought back to madrid. The MDF also found the 5 soldiers from Barcelona.<br>

"That was what I was talking about. We reduced casualties because we were more humane and engaged with diplomatic talks with the bandits. They even joined our side." Said the king. The woman infront of him nodded.<br>
<br>
"The Military also acquired new arsenals. They are gonna be useful in future operations."<br>
<br>
"Exactly. I want Moron Airbase and Rota Naval Base next. After that, Valencia, the rest of Cadiz and them barcelona. After securing strategic locations, we will then focus in manufacturing and industry. We can't keep using up our supplies." The King said.<br>
<br>
"As you wish, I will send the word to the Headquarters." The woman then left. After she left, a man in a military uniform entered. He looked like a high ranking officer.<br>
<br>
"John." Said the king. "Tell me the specifics. What happened in barcelona?" <br>
<br>
"The scout team was captured by the bandits. I don't know how, but they did it. The building were they were in was then raided by well equipped and trained soldiers, similar to our Spec Ops. They released our soldiers in the rooftop and they took of in a VTOL aircraft. "<br>
<br>
"So, it is true. There are many survivors all across europe." He said. He then looked at the general.<br>
<br>
"A couple of months ago we received a report that there is rumored to be a nation state in andorra. Please investigate further." <br>
<br>
"As you wish your majesty."<br>
---<br>
A squad of 5 in an amored transport vehicle was sent to Andorra to investigate. If the rumors are true, then they will engage with them diplomatically and bring them the message from the king.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">A vehicular patrol took place along the northern edge of Old London. Sometimes there occasional Mut would stray from the G-Zone. It was common sense to remove any potential threats. It would be far too risky to allow for a mob to build up.<br>
<br>
Ferdinand took the wheel - one foot carefully placed above the throttle. Walkers had been situated right by the turret. Armed and loaded for Mut encounters, of course. It was their job to clear out any wanderers, of course. Luckily, a wandering Mut was normally a rare occurrence - saving both the effort and the ammunition.<br>
<br>
"A bit muggy out 'ere, would you say?"<br>
<br>
Walkers made a daring attempt to strike up a conversation. Ferdinand wasn't exactly famous for his extroverted personality. Well, if he had one of course.<br>
<br>
"At least it's not pouring it down." A form of reply came following afterwards.<br>
<br>
The Coyote continued its course. It awaited potential threats to arrive. Though, none had made them self present. The lack of sound - other than the hum of the Coyote's engine - had only made everything far more unnerving than it already had to be.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 22px"><span style="color: #ff0000"><b><u>Empire of Aquitaine</u></b></span></span></span><br>
<br>​</div><b><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)"><u>Place de la Bourse, Bordeaux, Imperial Aquitaine</u><br>
</span></b><br>
The young and sharp-minded Emperor, Enzo Moreau, woke up on his bed. He stand up and stretches his body, he changed his red robe to a noble suit and puts the armband of an Aquitanian lion's head on his right shoulder. He then went to the kitchen to make some coffee and after that he went to the living room to take a drink of his coffee and read a newspaper called <i>Époque Aquitane </i>or Aquitanian Times.<br>
<br>
As he takes a sip from his coffee, he read a topic one by one, the most popular topic was the capture of western coast of Bordeaux which many people have settled there because of its environment and the Aquitanian Imperial Navy HQ transferred to Soulsac-Sur-Mer, the northernmost city of Imperial Aquitaine located on the northwest of its territory and last but not least is that the Empire of Aquitaine have established a contact outside of its borders named "Kingdom of Andorra" whom is a nation before the war, survived in the bombs. Enzo was glad that the killing of a young Roman messenger wasn't on the newspaper, he then sigh on a relief. He was thinking that would be the reaction of those poor brainwashed people that a corpse was brutally savaged by Enzo himself. After that, he takes a sip of his coffee once again.<br>
<br>
Someone rang a doorbell. Enzo shouted, "Who is it?" the young Emperor would stand up  to open the door, as he opened the door. Enzo was shocked, it was his fiancée, Suzanne Bianchetti; a beautiful Aquitanian-Genoese woman (or French-Italian). Suzanne quickly hugged Enzo tightly, saying with a Genoese accent, "I miss you, Enzo" and Enzo was completely shocked. Both of them shed their tears. "Suzanne, I-.. I thought you were dead?!" Enzo said as he sobs. "No, my love, me and my father escaped to Genoa during your revolution against the corrupt government, after all these years, I didn't know you will become a leader of this nation that your great-grandfather built." Suzanne said. "What matters is that you're alive, Suzanne." Enzo replied. They both hug tightly once again.<br>
<br>
After that dramatic moment, they went to living room to discuss about their lives. "So, how is your father, Suzanne?" Enzo asked her. "He's good, he became a politician in Genoa." Suzanne replied. "That's good news! Well, is Genoa still an isolationist?" Enzo asked her once again. "Somehow, but things have changed over there, they became a vassal of some city-state, calling themselves as Duchy of Milan." Enzo realized that these rumours about smaller nations rising from the ashes isn't even a rumour anymore, it's the truth. "It seems the rumours about rising nations is true, yeah?" which Suzanne then nods at Enzo's remarks.<br>
<br>
"By the way, have you heard of Rome? I meant the ruling government on that city." Enzo asked her fiancée. Suzanne said, "Of course, Rome is a hot topic on Genoa right now, saying that they are ruled the same as the ancient Rome did." Enzo was thinking about how <i>ancient Rome </i>was revived in this new world. "I was thinking how Ancient Rome was able to revive in this new world they live in-.. I was thinking that their Senator or whatever is some sort of a historian professor before the war." Suzanne was amazed by Enzo's remarks. "Makes sense." and then the two decided to take a tour on Enzo's new house.<br>
<br>
"This is Place de la Bourse, yes?" Suzanne asked Enzo as they walk around the Place de la Bourse. Enzo just nodded. "This place is full of mutants once, you know, good thing you ordered your men to get rid those vile creatures." both of them chuckled. "I guess you could say that." Enzo said. Enzo would then notice the picture frame of his great-grandfather. Suzanne asked, "That's Alain Juppé, the last mayor of Bordeaux before the war, my grandmother used to talk about him, saying he ruled France democratically and made France a great nation." Enzo replied, "That's my great-grandfather. He was a fierce nationalist, I never met him as he died many years ago. My grandmother used to talk about him also." and Suzanne raised her eyebrows, "No shit, Alain Juppé is your great-grandfather? From what side?" and Enzo replied, "From my mother's side." and Suzanne chuckles, "I didn't you have a pre-war blood of a famous politician, my love." and both of them chuckled. "Don't you know that my grandmother was an actress before the war? Her name was Barbara Schulz, born in Bordeaux, a pure Aquitanian." Suzanne said as she flips her hair playfully. "Of course your <i>grandmother </i>is an actress, you're beautiful tho." Enzo said it as a move, the truth is, he doesn't know the French actress before the war.<br>
<br>
And after that, Suzanne said she might stay in Aquitaine as she is bethroted to the first Emperor of Aquitaine, Enzo of House Moreau. They then sleep with each other after that..<br>
<br>
The next day, they woke up and does the morning routine. Someone then rang a doorbell and when Enzo opened it, it was the messenger who was sent to Andorra. The messenger would say, "Glory to Aquitaine! Hail Moreau!" and then the messenger would bow before the Emperor who is wearing red robe. Enzo let the messenger in and discuss about Andorra. "So you've talk to the King of Andorra?" The young and sharp-minded Emperor questioned the lavish-looking messenger. "Yes, your grace, they accepted our trade offer but they declined an alliance offer, saying that they want to be neutral and independent." The messenger replied. "Independent? But they're already inde-.." and then the Emperor's fiancée would interrupt their conversation as she says, "My love, here's your coffee." Suzanne would put the coffee on the table and after that they kissed each other on the lips. The messenger was raising his eyebrows as he looked at the beautiful woman. Suzanne looked at the messenger and she said, "Who is this fine gentleman you're talking to, Enzo?" Enzo would look at Suzanne and then to the messenger. "He's one of the messengers who swore loyalty and perform his duties to the Empire." Enzo continued,  "By the way, what's your name, gentleman?" The messenger replied, "I'm Acel, your grace.." Enzo nods and then Suzanne said, "I'll be right back." Suzanne then went to the kitchen. "That girl brings me headaches." Enzo said in a sarcastic way. The messenger Acel would chuckle. "She'll be the first Empress of Aquitaine and House Moreau would be finally complete." Enzo continued, "Anyways, about Andorra, they're already independent. It's not like we could vassalize their nation-.. or can we?" Enzo would chuckle as he takes a sip of his coffee. The messenger was silent. "Anything else?" Enzo questioned him. "Nothing else, your grace." the messenger replied. "Alright, you're free to go. Glory to Aquitaine, take care." Enzo said. "Glory to Aquitaine, Hail Moreau!" and then the messenger would left the Place de la Bourse.<br>
<br>
"<i>Hail Moreau?</i>" Suzanne was laughing at Enzo. Enzo said, "What's with the laugh, my love?" Enzo approached Suzanne and kissed her forehead. "It's like they treat you as a god." Suzanne replied. "Maybe but it's a respect, I'm the only one who led the people out of the underground train stations, you know." Enzo said and Suzanne would nod. "By the way, I'm going to do a nation address tomorrow, you should be there as you are the Empress of Aquitaine. Suzanne of Aquitaine, <i>get it</i>?" Enzo would chuckle. "Okay, my love, as long you're here by my side." Suzanne would giggle. "By the way, how about we go shopping?" Enzo asked her. "There's shopping here in Bordeaux?" Suzanne raised her eyebrows and Enzo simply said, Yeah." and then Suzanne went to the bedroom to get changed and Enzo went to the wardrobe to dressed his noble-suit with an armband of the Aquitanian lion's head. After that, they were dressed. "Let's go?" Enzo said as he offered Suzanne a hand. Suzanne accepts it as she said, "Yes, our journey would be Genoa two point zero, huh?" and both of them laugh.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The Duke grinned as another bout of fireworks flew up and exploded. The fireworks paused momentarily for the nine gun salute of the MSS Sforza's Vengeance, firing off balls made from scavenged styrofoam so as to not hurt anyone too badly. A cheer went up from the crowd of Milanese folk. Today was Unity Day, the anniversary of the day thirteen years ago when Genoa and Milan had been united after the Battle of Sweetwater village, where the two armies came to clash after trade disputes and instead united when a large number of mutants, attracted by the gunfire and sounds of battle attacked. But today was also the day the MSS Sforza's Vengeance and two of the frigates would head west to scout the coastline and  find any viable cities to settle. In the mean time, however, two thousand soldiers would be marching west to take Turin.</div>

<span style="font-size: 15px">When the trucks arrived the people of Riga were somewhat conflicted in opinions.  They trusted Russians less than they trusted people of the same ethnicity, as most of the scouts were Latvian. They stopped them at the gates and asked their business.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Meanwhile the Livonian scouts managed to negotiate an ambassador into Riga. The ambassador would still have to work to get his daily food, but they offered to give a small free farm for any ambassador that would arrive.<br>
The chosen ambassador was an well-known member of the Pärnu community and had been just a few votes away from joining the Linnakogu last elections. Him and his family relocated to Riga barely a week and a half after discovering the settlement.<br>
<br>
<br>
</span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 22px">Pärnu</span>​</div><span style="font-size: 15px"><br>
With the increasingly sunny relationship with Riga, the Linnakogu and politically active citizens were discussing on how Livonia should interact with the town in the future. Some proposed trying to establish some sort of government over the town forcefully, while the others saw it better to just improve relations as much as possible and get them to ally with Livonia. The latter option was more popular, as many people didn't want to take any chances of bloodshed with another Baltic faction.<br>
<br>
<br>
</span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 22px">Rapla</span>​</div><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">It didn't take long for Rapla to join in an official alliance with the Baltic Union. A few Linnakogu members and the recently elected leader of Rapla signed an "Agreement of mutual aid and defense" right in front of the town hall of Rapla and the few bored farmers that showed up let out a cheer that didn't seem very powerful or passionate. Some skeptical nerd-farmers of Rapla pointed out that the name sounded a lot like the Base Agreement between the Baltic States and the Soviet Union back in 1939, but most people of Rapla saw only positives in the agreement.</span><br>

<br>
<b>The Queen.</b><br>
The Queen made her way down the Finnish coast. She had a discussion with some of the advisers and, of course, the 'admiral' of the 'fleet'. This discussion was over whether they should risk it, save hours or even days of travel and cut across the Finnish gulf or play it safe and take the long lumbering trip around. After a small Sea Vidunder bashed the side of one of the ships, only to be fished onto the deck of one of the yachts and prepared as a meal, they decided not to risk it. Instead risking the small number of raiders that travel the sea. The few soldiers with them armed with guns should be more then sufficient to stop any such threat. This was proven when a small fishing vessel began to approach them, when the could see the solders armed and ready they headed back to the Finnish coast. After a few more hours of travel they came across an area. There were great long sand banks restricting travel in or out. However they shallow Yachts and Ferries could pass over the ruined bridges. While the Queens own boat had to remain outside. Not knowing what to expect she sent some advisors and a contingent of troops to go in and look if there was anything worth her time and, most importantly, if it was safe. The rest of the ships remained with the Queen as they set off. The ferry is topped with soldiers, peering out and guns ready as they travel further in. Seeing a hub of activity they prepare to meet a potentially civilised group. <a href="/members/lordvader59.6988/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="6988" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId140">

<b><br>
The Prince.</b><br>
As the convoy approached the town of Avesta, a town well known for its small community willing to buy food and trade with the Swedish soldiers out on hunt, the Prince was sleeping. He was curled up with his new friend, his snowy pup that he had yet to name when a shot rang out. The Truck ahead of them swerved and so the truck transporting the Prince had to adjust similarly. He awoke with a start just as he heard the thud of the driver from the other truck's body hitting the ground. They had yet to see their assailants but they backed up to the Trucks, hopping in the back with the Prince and his pet. The two armed with guns were ready to fire and the others kept their eyes open, ready to point out any movement. Soon after noises could be heard from the roadside and a firefight began as the two armed soldiers attempted to suppress and kill their assailants. With the pup cowering in a corner the Prince grabbed his axe and leapt from the Truck into the underbrush. As he landed he rolled, standing up right next to one of their attackers. The women tried to bash at him with the but end of her gun but the Prince parried with his Axe and then embedded it into her neck. Not waiting to remove it he grabbed her rifle and began crawling through the bushes. He came across a few dead bodies and a pair of men, one turned to shoot him and the Prince fired a deafening shot through the bridge of his nose, not generally a good place to aim but at this range it did the job and the mans brains flew all over the trees behind. The other just began cowering in fear. The Prince could see no other threats so he grabbed the man and pushed him out into the road as he ordered his men not to shoot at him. There was still the issue of the sniper that apparently took out one of his guards. When he passed from the greenery he found that in the battle another guard lay dead. "Take this man. Tie him too the bear. Let his feet drag against the road." He ordered as he looked to the distance. Just as he did it lit up with gunfire. Who ever was out there was fighting someone. He ordered his men back onto the truck and had his two dead guards hurriedly tied down in the truck, awaiting a time they could be properly put to rest. When he arrived at the distant firefight it was over, dead on both sides but it turned out that the victors were people of Avesta who had heard the fighting and went to investigate. It was one of their own trying to use the well travelled road to take his own profit. He gathered a small following and tried to attack them. Pity they put themselves up against the Prince or they may have made quite a name for themselves. He was offered a free place to sleep, they filled his fuel with as much as they could spare, apologised and begged that the Kingdom not seek revenge for this, as it was not their wish for it to happen. He assured them of his forgiveness and asked for something to wrap his dead in so they would not be left to the elements. He gave them the prisoner, whose feet were already badly burned and cut, and in return they offered a beautiful Shield maiden for his guard, though what purpose he would have her serve neither he or they knew. He tried to decline but she was as insistent as the people and so they travelled back to Stockholm. When he arrived he was greeted with news of the victory over Uppsala and a ceremony would be held to celebrate his great kill. The young women that offered herself to his service seemed to be following him about as loyally as the puppy. The Puppy he named Loki and later he learned his other follower was named Freyja.​</div></div>

18:53 Hours<br>
Chief Engineer McTavish</b><br>
Scotty angled back his chair and put his feet up on the desk. His week had been agonizingly long. The engineering crew had been doing nothing but repairs and working alongside the inhabitants of oilrig The work had been pretty dull as a majority of it had been following the directions of the inhabitants who knew what they were doing, which then resulted in writing reports about it, then the reports made it to the chief, who then looked at them and wrote reports of his own. Blast it, why the hell do we always have to write reports and fill out paperwork? It's the end of the world, you would think there would be less paper work not more! Quickly sitting up he decided he needed a drink.<br>
<br>
<br>
During the seemingly fruitless rummaging there was a knock on the door. “Come in!” Said the preoccupied engineer, as he finally found the flask he has secreted away.<br>
<br>
<br>
Another elderly man entired the room, Commander Hawkey. “I see ye betten us tae the punch. Though might I recommend ye wait untae the Oil Rig actually starts?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Huh, what the hell are you talking about?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“We finished repairs on the Mountain. I thought you were wantin to celebrate there with tha flask?”<br>
<br>
<br>
McTavish quickly hid the flask out of sight and leaned forward. “I dunno wha yer talking bout.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Don't worry, were naut as up tight as yer yank friends.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Well that's just great but I still shouldn't be drinkin on duty.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Lay off it just a wee bit. This is a good day, the mountain hasn't ran fer nearly a decade or tae.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I guess it is. Well let’s go join the festivities, shall we?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“We shall!”<br>
<br>
<br>
Nearly fifteen minutes later the two older gentlemen were on the deck of the rig. Many of the Oil Rig inhabitants were also mulling around and talking. The general mood was one of celebration, and happiness. In hands were glasses of both the local shine, and some of the shine dragged up from the carrier anchored just a little ways off of the Oil Rig.<br>
<br>
<br>
Commander Hawkey climbed up onto the now vacant helipad and raised his voice. "Listen up! this past week hez been leek neene othor! wuh hev new friends! the mountain is up an' runnin agyen! but most importantly, this marks the retorn iv civilization! neeo wuh ma neet hev mich yeut heor othor than oil, an' usually when we's finds wor the' tek wot the' nee't an' gan, or the' leev disappointed! neet the pralin, she cyem an' when wuh offered hor a deal, she countered wi' yen that wes evon bettor! this heor is the beginnin iv a common wealth inatween wor! neeo, start the rig an' breakyeut the drinks, t'nyte wuh celebrate!"<br>
<br>
<br>
The Oil Rig rumbled to life somewhere and a chant started somewhere. It was obviously someone who misunderstood the speak somewhere but once it began there was no way to stop it.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Long live the Commonwealth! Long live the Commonwealth! Long live the Commonwealth! “ The chant went on for a good fifteen minutes and by the end even the Marines and Engineers from the Pralin had joined it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Commander Hawkey saw a man approaching him through the crowd. It took him and while to elbow his way through the crowd but eventually he broke through and climbed onto the helipad with him. Captain hunt shook the man's hand and patted him on the wrist. “Looks like you started quite the movement.” The captain said looking into the Man’s eyes with a certain fire.<br>
<br>
<br>
“I'll sort this mess out when I get the chance Captain.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“No need, the Joint Com has been mulling over something like this a long time. Just forces us to get our asses in gear. Now, I think I owe you a drink.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Someone somewhere pulled out some old instruments and started playing. From that point on the night broke out into celebration and eventually much drunken singing.<br>

Descending from the skies the company of Marines quickly landed. Knees buckling Captain Theodore Price landed first of all of his Marines as tradition dictated, a couple moments later his stomach caught up with him. Stripping off his parachute quickly he retrieved his XC-12 rifle from it’s case strapped across his waist. Around him a couple other members of his Recon Assault Team did the same and fanned out insuring that their consorts had a safe landing zone. Bringing his night vision goggles down in front of his eyes he looked at the airfield in the distance. From his position over looking it he could see several helicopters that seemed to be in good condition. He also could see lights moving around on the tarmac, what looked to be scavengers looking for the same things they would be. Touching his headset he got ahold of one of his LTs. “Scarecrow, how many people do we have on the ground?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“13 so far, perimeter is secure.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Alright, looks like we have some scavs in the airfield. Once everyone is down break out the ghillie suits and SRs. I'm feeling a little naked this close to the enemy without the big guns ready.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Roge, I'll get them kitted up as soon as possible. Scarecrow out.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Price went back to inspecting the Raiders. Looking at them they were pretty heavily armed for your average raider. Many were wearing prewar armour, and carrying HK434s. Some even were carrying C-20s most likely long ago appropriated from Norwegian Special Forces.<br>
<br>
<br>
He heard a thump near him of one of his Men landing almost on top of him. He looked at the Marine and realized it was one of the younger of his men. <i>Avery was it? Excellent range scores, seemed a bit nervous pre-op though…</i> Any pre-op jitters seemed to be gone as he stripped his parachute and got his gear out.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Scarecrow here. All boots on ground.” Crackled in the Captain’s headset.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Roge, rally on you.”<br>
<br>
<br>

Foe Hammer</b><br>
Carol Rawley piloted her VTOL in a circular pattern around the Oil Rig. Watching the Marines move across the deck of the Oil Rig through her FLIR she was hoping for something to make a dumb move and give her a reason to ruin it’s day. The VTOL she sat in was an amazing piece of technology for the time, and even so before the war wiped away the massive air forces of yesterday. Most important about it though was that it made her feel powerful.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Base this is Foe Hammer Charlie Company is boots on the ground and we are loitering to provide fire support if necessary.” The woman said into her helmet’s headset as she surveyed the scene below her.<br>
<br>
<br>
On the deck of the rig below she could see the Marines crossing towards the different entrances to deeper inside the rig from the Helipad where minutes before she had dropped them off.<br>
<br>
<br>
Once they made it to the doors to get deeper into the oil rig their progress suddenly halted. “Damnit, someone bring up the charges. These doors have been fused shut.” Came the voice of the Marines’ commanding officer after she had tried reefing on the door a few times. Quickly two more Marines joined her and set charges on the door. Foe Hammer’s display automatically dimmed as the thermite quickly burnt through the metal door. “Alright, pus-” From only her display it was hard to make out but it appeared as if something actually jumped through the burning thermite to attack one of the Marines who had set the charge.<br>
<br>
<br>
“What the fuck?! Shoot the fuckers! Dammit!” Shouted the company Commander as more and more contacts started to pour from the doors of the Oil Rig. The Marines managed to put down a couple of whatever the hell was attacking them and then they started to creep backwards as more and more of the things came out onto the Rig’s deck.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Foe Hammer, this is Captain Serafina. Requesting fire support.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“This is Foehammer, acknowledged. Stand by, danger close.”<br>
<br>
<br>
She actually didn't do any of the shooting, that was her co-pilot’s job but she still had to keep the aircraft level and give him the best angle of fire. She watched as the stream of 14.5mm tracers rained down on the target in her display, and felt relieved as they quickly dispatched most of the enemies on the platform below.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Thanks for the assist Foe Hammer. We’re going under, standby.”<br>
<br>

The bandit walked past the checkpoint without batting an eyelash. After all they cleared it earlier why shouldn't it be fine now? Right? The Marine moved quickly getting the garrote line around the Bandit's neck and dragging him back into the booth. The bandit struggled at first but quickly lost the ability to do so. Despite their gear the Bandits were obviously poorly trained, and now that would result in most likely all of their deaths. Two Marines now wearing full ghillie suits and armed with C-9s quickly went past the check point into the airfield.<br>
<br>
They all had their objectives.<br>
<br>
<br>
Price moved from the booth and out towards the nearest hanger. Once there he met up with another Marine about to enter through one of the side doors. Lights shined through the window and moved back and forth. The Bandits which the light belonged to probably were looking for spare parts or the like. Surprisingly, or maybe unsurprisingly the airfield seemed realitivily untouched. Only showing signs of damage where natural decay happened. Focusing on the Marine across from him Price saw him make the sign for three contacts and that upon breach he would break right. Normally a subordinate wouldn't dream of dictating the plan of action to his commanding officer, but in the conditions it was hard to tell each other apart and they knew that. Most Marines were trained to think on their feet, and not to need a chain of command. This allowed them to continue fighting even if the officer or sergeant got hit. The Marine made the sign to breach, then they both jumped into action.<br>
<br>
<br>
-----<br>
<br>
<br>
“Hey Mac, why the hell does the boss have us lookin, fer deez parts? Not liek we know wut we’re lookin fer.” Complained Ol’ Jimmy as he shined his light on the plane sitting in the hanger. “Duh, cuz he don't want to do it em self. So he sends us while he gets too look at der whirlybirds at the far end of da strip.” Replied Mac who at the moment hand his finger firmly up his nose, and was digging for gold. Roger, the third man in the hanger quitely wondered to him self if Mac had dug so deep it caused some brain damage.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Hey did you see that?!” Suddenly exclaimed Jimmy as he moved his light around trying to illuminate what ever it was he saw. “Probably seeing things, calm down Jimmy, we don't need another Charlie.” Said Roger from his position near a self of old tools, a shelf of tools he was rummaging through seriously wishing for a head lamp. “No I mea-” Jimmy was quickly cut off by his brains beeing splattered across the wall. “Holly fuck!” Roger quickly grabbed up his gun, then turned to flee from the hanger only to turn around and end up facing a man wearing a full ghillie suit and pointing a sub machine gun at his face. The Marine would be the last thing he ever saw.<br>
<br>
<br>
-----<br>
<br>
<br>
Price quickly dropped the bandit as he turned to flee. <i>Shouldn't be this fucking easy to kill the bastards, this is like putting down the family dog with a wood chipper.</i> The third bandit finally had gotten his finger out of his nose and his gun pointed at price when a shot from the other Marine closed the curtain on him. Wasting no time both of the Marines moved to the other door, and went through. In the distance price could hear the opening crack of the sniper attack on the Bandits. <i>Sounds like this should be wrapping up quite quickly now…</i><br>
<br>
<br>

Foe Hammer</b><br>
Carol yawned as she completed yet another circuit around the Oilrig below, they hadn't much action since the original contact nearly two hours ago. Oh sure she had gotten the odd snippet of radio chatter here and there from Charlie Company clearing the rig below but that wasn't the same thing as being down there. Or at least getting to participate by firing a salvo every now and then from the air. <i> Oh stop whining, you wanted to be a pilot and there are definitely fun bits to it.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
“Captain Serafina to Foe Hammer, we’re done and dusted down here. Radio back to base we have two injured and a third coming back in a body bag.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Roge, I'll set her down on the southern pad. Shame about the causalities. Foehammer out.”<br>
<br>
<br>
True to her word the pilot quickly set the VTOL down on the southern pad of the Oil Rig. She would of set down on the northern pad which would of been closer to where the Marines would of been coming out onto the deck, but she wasn't quite sure if it would hold the weight of her aircraft.<br>
<br>
<br>
Soon the Marines appeared from one of the doorways. From he spot she could see that there were three groups of them who were obviously helping move the causalities. Quickly the Marines crossed over to the Helipad and loaded the causalities. Once the injured and dead were aboard there was a thump from the troop bay, and the pilot lifted off.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Base this is Foe Hammer, mission was successful and the kids are in the back. We’ll need a medical team on the flight deck once we land.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Roge Foe Hammer, drive safe and make it back home.”<br>

Settlement Militia</b><br>
“Hey, Max! Get up! They’re back!”<br>
<br>
<br>
Max was shaken awake by one of the settlement’s other inhabitants. No doubt he was talking about the bandit gang who had been extorting ‘taxes’ from the locals for the past year. “Just give them what they want and they’ll go away.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“You don't get it, there’s a lot of them, and they look pissed off!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Alright! Get the others I'll be right out!” Max quickly got up out of bed and started to get ready. He threw on his makeshift leather armour and took up his trusty double barreled shotgun.<br>
<br>
<br>
Running from the makeshift hut he usually lived in Max went straight to the town’s gate and looked down the road. True to the man’s word there were about forty or so heavily armed Bandits marching towards the small little settlement. Something about his view though, it just seemed out of place, then he realized what it was. The bushes along the side of the road, they weren't there yesterday.<br>
<br>
<br>
Then a shot cracked out. He wasn't sure where from but the bandit at the front of the group dropped dead. “Who fired that?!” Shouted Max as he looked at the other members of the Militia who had assembled at the gate. Then he heard a panicked scream from the bandits. “AMBUSH, AMBUSH, AMBU-” The vocalizer quickly was silenced as the bushes around the gang came to life, from the looks of it one of the bushes had pushed a knife through the man’s rib cage right around where his heart would be. Without batting an eyelash the heavily camouflaged man moved from stabbing to drawing his gun and putting down another bandit.<br>
<br>
<br>
The whole engagement lasted less than ten minutes, and now that the Bushmen had finished with the Bandits they had turned and started walking towards the town. In the distance Max could clearly two of them break off and start coming towards him, hands up.<br>
<br>

Soon after dispatching the men at the airfield Captain Price had realized they had just been a part of a bigger group. Realizing it would of been a bad idea to stick around he had gotten his men to quickly gather all of their gear as well as any gear from the Bandits that would be useful over the next couple of weeks they would be operating in Norway. He had also called in for some Aviators from the Pralin to come pick up the helicopters they had found on the tarmac of the airfield. Once the Aviators had arrived and left with the Helos Golf Company had set out for the nearby town of Bodø.<br>
<br>
<br>
When they got near the outskirts of the town they had spotted a large group of Bandits heading towards the town, most likely blaming the survivors for their consorts’ deaths. He then made the decision to get his men into position to ambush the Bandits and then open relations with the town’s folk.<br>
<br>
<br>
Now Price and Private Alexis Lue were walking towards the settlement with their hands raised in the air. <i>After that show I'm hoping no one gets jittery and shoots us.</i> One of the men from the settlement walked towards the two and asked them something in Norwegian.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Kuchisake, translation here?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“He wants to know who the hell we are. To put it simply.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Tell him we’re friends, and that we’re on a mission to gather friends and to bring back civilization.”<br>
<br>
<br>
The translator quickly repeated what he said and the man laughed.<br>
<br>
<br>
“He says thank you, he hasn't heard a joke that funny in ages.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Tell him that I'm dead serious, and that if I wasn't how would a group of heavily armed Marines who obviously weren’t Norwegian or Swedish get here?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Good point, you have there.” The man replied himself in fluent English. “I still don't believe you, though.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Alright how can I prove our intents?” Price asked the man matter of factly. “We did take out your Bandits for you.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“We were planning on sending a convoy to Narvik, they were hit badly by a mutant attack. If you can help us get help to them we’ll join you. We’ll even try to convince them to do so themselves.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Deal.” Price held his hand out to the Norwegian, who in turn took the hand and shook it firmly.<br>
<br>
<br>

On The Road<br>
14:19 Hours<br>
Golf Company</b><br>
Captain Price climbed down the side of the trailer and then swung into the passenger's seat in the cab of the semi truck. “Nice little Convoy you have here max, what is it? Four armoured buses the two trucks and the bikes? Honestly this is the most vehicles I've seen in a long time. Operating that is.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“We get that alot, though we don't bring em out much. Great for when we need to get to the other settlements quickly, you know if they get attacked or some such. Lots of road gangs out here too though, glad you guys shared some of your firepower with us.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“My guys are riding with you, wouldn't it be a little stupid for us not to?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Fair point.”<br>
<br>
<br>
The CB in the truck as well as Price’s headset crackled. He recognized the voice as Scarecrow’s “Boss, we got a couple ATVs approaching from 5 O’ Clock.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“How far out?” Price asked through his headset.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Couple hun- Oh fuck, Everyone! Get down RPG! Fu-” Scarecrow was cut off as Price heard and explosion from the back of the Convoy. “Fuck, I'll be back. Keep her steady.” With that Price swung out onto the Semi’s trailer and climbed up to the top for a better view. Once at the top he moved towards the back and climbed down into the Machine gun turret, so he wouldn't fall.<br>
<br>
<br>
Bringing up his binoculars with one hand he keyed his headset with the other. “Scarecrow come in, scarecrow!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Damnit we’re here boss they missed barely, watch out!”<br>
<br>
<br>
He could now make out a couple of the ATVs from his position. Tapping the machine gunner on the shoulder he pointed in the direction of them. Then he brought up his own assault rifle and fired off a couple of rounds. Through his optic he could see the driver of one of the ATVs fall off and the ATV crashing. The. The machine gunner opened up. The whole Convoy began firing.<br>
<br>
<br>
Then the rest of the ATVs caught up and Bandits started jumping from them onto the vehicles. One of the jumpers landed on the semi right underneath the machine gunner nest. Climbing up the bandit threw a grenade ahead of him, which landed right at the machine gunner's feet. Price quickly reacted by jumping from the trailer to the roof of the armoured bus behind the semi. Looking back he saw as the grenade went off, it was an incendiary and the nest burst into flames. Screaming the machine gunner finally managed to get up and ended up falling from the trailer.<br>
<br>
<br>
Price brought up his rifle and fired off a burst that caused the grenadier to fall from his spot clinging to the trailer.  As the bastard dropped the bus suddenly shook as a buggy side checked it and more Bandits jumped onboard. <i>Where the fuck did these guys come from?!</i> The closer of the two came at him with an ax. Price blocked with his AR. The ax dug halfway into the AR. Tugging it from his hands the bandit pulled his AR away, Price then drew his knife and quickly stabbed the bandit in the throat. As the bandit fell priced looked up at the other bandit. “If you jump I won't shoot you.” The bandit threatened in broken English. “How bout this instead.” Price pulled the trigger on his knife’s grip and the blade shot out hitting the bandit in the forehead. “Fucking asshat.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Price saw that the next bus had been breached into. Taking a running start he jumped from his bus to the next one. Another Marine was on the roof of this one trying to fight off two bandits armed with Axes. Tackling the nearest bandit Price went down. He punched the man several times in the face and then the bandit rolled. Rolling with the bandit Price went over the side of the bus. Acting quickly he grabbed a hold on one of the open windows of the bus. Looking up he saw a familiar barrel being stuck out the window. <i>Fuck’s sake![\I] The C-280 started firing and the burst deafened the hanging Captain. The 280 stopped firing and then the Captain looked behind him. There was a bandit buggy coming directly at him, he pushed off from the bus and climbed aboard the buggy right before it impacted.<br>
<br>
<br>
The unexpected Marine in their midst and the impact knocked the Bandits off balance. Moving like greased lightning Price pushed one bandit into another causing them to fall off of the buggy. Then with a neck chop he dispatched the third bandit. Looking about the Convoy, he could see that one of the buses had fallen off and only the ATVs driven by his Marines remained. But they had managed to drive off the bandits.<br>

The Convoy slowly drove into the settlement. From his place in the lead truck Price could see how badly off the people were from the Mutant attack. “Damnit, looks like we won't be able to do much… Other than comfort and shoot the ones suffering the worst.” Max said from the driver’s seat. “I might be able to do something more.” Price said looking him in the eyes. “Like what?”<br>
<br>
<br>
Price switched to a different channel on his headset. “Leviathan relay to base that we’ll need Hotel Company in Narvik.”<br>
<br>
<br>
The operator on the other end spoke back to him. “What happened?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Mutant attack, golf company is fine but the locals are badly off.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Roge, you’ll be able to expect them in an hour or so.”<br>
<br>
<br>
Price looked at Max. “We’ll get them back to our base for treatment. The VTOLs should be here within an hour or so.”<br>

“Thank you all for coming here today, I'll keep this sort as it’s just the four of us. We’re starting to get to the point at which we need to reorganize the Joint Command. Agreed?” John Trudeau addressed the others in the small room. He was what was considered the civilian leader of the joint command, and up to this point that usually meant organizing the teaching of the Pralin’s children and other menial labour that didn't come under the Naval Crew’s jurisdiction.<br>
<br>
<br>
“You’re right, that is for sure. Especially with this talk of forming a Commonwealth that sparked from Hawkey's speech last week.” Pointed out Captain James Hunt.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Even the Marines have taken up the idea. Hell we even had a group of them go into combat screaming ‘for the commonwealth’. To be honest though, I'm not sure that's a bad thing. We’ve had a lot less causalities lately. Well from the regular companies, Charlie still is bringing back someone in a body bag every other day.” Xervia pointed out from her seat around the table.<br>

“So, we’re all in agreement then?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes.” Came the Captain.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Agreed.” From the Colonel.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Aye, lang live the bloody commonwealth!” Said the Oil Rig’s commander as he slammed his fist against the table.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Alright, if we’re going to do this I have been wanting to reorganize the Marines. We’ll also probably need a dress uniform too.” Said the Colonel.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Hold up, we still need to do two things.” Said the Captain from his seat.<br>
<br>
<br>
“What is it Jim?” Trudeau said at the head of the table.<br>
<br>
<br>
“First we’ll need to organize the government. Second we’ll need a Flag…”<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The Romans were first greeted by two Milanese Guards, flanked by three Condotierris each. "We greet you and welcome you to the combined cities of Milan and Genoa. You have just missed our warships leaving to map the coasts to the west. Come, follow us to the Grand City of Milan." They beckoned the Romans along and moved along the road through the twists and turns of the city. Reaching a gatehouse made of stone at the foundation and scrap metal towards the top connecting the wall that surrounded the city. Calling for the gate to open, the Guards halted for a few moments.<br>
<br>
     With a momentary grunt, two Condotierri moved to the gates and pushed them open. Reaching an out of city stables, the guards got six horses and mounted them. The evident captain of the six guards rode upon a mighty destrier while the other seven rode on palfreys. Though they passed fourteen towers with six crossbowmen at the top each, one tower for every two and a half leagues. <br>
<br>
     Though the roads seemed safe enough (if lacking pavement - mostly dirt and gravel) the Condotierri kept their carbines in hand at all times, always looking out for mutants. The Milanese Guards had sabers in scabbard but always kept an eye out - a bit difficult, considering their sallets only allowed them a narrow field of view.<br>
<br>
     The beauty of Milan was not overstated - while the buildings were simple, many were made of stone with tiled roofs. The outer city was surrounded a still being built stone wall with four gates, with hundreds of workers toiling hard. The inner city had a finished stone wall with crossbowmen patrolling, and seven noblemen, six of the noble houses of Milan and the Duke himself in a scarlet cloak with a crown of gold and silver upon his head to greet them, his doublet a dark grey accented with golden yellow. <br>
<br>
     "Benvenuti a Milano. Come, we have much to discuss." The Duke, the nobles, the guards, and the Romans all moved along the streets, and after a bit of time arrived at the Duke's Manor. A towering four story building with marble columns, stone walls, tiled roofs. There were servants houses, a doorway to the kitchens, a seperate bathhouse, and plumbing. On the western side there was a tower made of marble with ivory decor where the Milanese guards were housed and outside of the manors walls hundreds of merchants peddled their wares while commonfolk traveled back home for the day. Coming upon the gate to the manor, the head Guardsman unlocked the gate and pulled it open with a creak. <br>
<br>
    The two Romans had finally reached the personal manor of the Duke of Milan - here, a deal could be made, or things could wrong... all depending upon the Roman's actions. Those present were Duke Marco Sforza, the two Roman diplomats, the two Milanese guards, a Genoese representative and any guards brought by the Romans. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><b>Moscow Union</b></span>​</div><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><br>
Dushka started up, sounding like a giant tearing canvas as it began to spit hot lead in short, controlled bursts at the Metahumans that hanged back to shoot their makeshift guns at the line of particularly bothersome humans. Those that charged their formation with planks and pipes and rebar were mowed down with cool efficiency by the Cossack Company Infantrymen that had crouched alongside Roman's railtank. He could see his fellows were having a little trouble too, they haven't fought an enemy that could take a few bullets from their Kalashes and walk away before. That isn't to say they didn't manage. The tumorous abominations fell under the concentrated fire of Roman's comrades and he didn't need to divide his attention to his subordinates, thankfully. If they were close enough to make the Abzats effective their party would begin to take losses. In the back of his mind, between barks of Dushka, Roman's ears registered the signature crackle of radio chatter in the fighting compartment below him. In a lull in the battle he wordlessly switched seats with his crew member, putting the radio set around his head. "Shikalov Roman reporting."<br>
<br>
"Commander, this is Artyom speaking."<br>
<br>
Roman's mouth went slack. Artyom was a hero in the last war with the Metahumans, hell, a hero in the unification wars of the Moscow Metro. He alone turned the tides of entire battles. "Da?"<br>
<br>
"Advance. The point of the spear of this offensive will be your railtank. Break the enemy lines. Jalopy forces will begin their assault two minutes after your strike. Are your orders clear Comrade?"<br>
<br>
"I serve the Moscow Union!" Roman unwaveringly replied.<br>
<br>
"Artyom out." The connection ended with a click.<br>
<br>
Signaling Boris for another switch, Roman soon popped his head out of the railtank's cupola and addressed the troops. "Forward against the enemy! Up into the unremitting battle, Comrades, for D6, for our great country! Kill the mutant - this is your mother's prayer. Kill the mutant - this is the cry of your Russian earth. Do not waver! Do not let up! Kill!"<br>
<br>
Reentering the tank, Roman ordered Vaughn to move forward the railtank, shaming any cowards and traitors that would see themselves left behind and safe into following. <i>"Urra! Urra!"</i> The infantrymen shouted, a sound to make the hairs of anyone who'd heard it before stand on end. <i>"Urra! Urra!"</i> They charged with one heart. The railtank approached and blasted it's way through the gates of the airport and the Metahumans that had defended it. Roman swore he saw a trace of rekindled fear in their yellow eyes, as if they had once known this sort of terrible slaughter before. The railtank turned left and Roman directed Vaughn to a group of Metahumans piling out of a old hanger. "Fire." That he did, shotgun shells began to clatter on and litter the floor of the fighting compartment in awe-inspiring numbers. What had been a swarm of the dull purple monstrosities only moments before was now a fine red mist. Roman and Boris and Vaughn whooped. Behind, a column of other rail vehicles and infantrymen mopped up whatever Roman's railtank had left behind, and small squads broke off to breach and clear the interiors of the airport in the sort of brutal and adrenaline-pumping closequarters combat that Cossack Company had come to relish. Soon, they could hear the reports of gunfire and pained screams from Metahumans on the other side of the airport and triumphantly pressed deeper into the area, slaughtering the few mutants that remained bitterly fighting the Muscovites. It wasn't long until the last body dropped and the sounds of battle ceased. Right when Roman got to the vodka to celebrate a Cossack Company infantryman emerged from a nearby building, jogged to him, and lifted his armored visor as he spoke excitedly. "Roma! There is something you must see!"<br>
<br>
Hopping out of the railtank, Roman followed the man into the concourse, stopping dead in his tracks at the door. A squad of Jalopy soldiers were beginning to a drag away a small group of seven toddler-sized Metahumans that wailed terribly and tried to struggle free of their bonds.<br>
</span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><b>&gt;&gt;*&lt;&lt;</b><br>
</span>​</div><span style="font-family: 'courier new'">A number of surface outposts in Moscow witnessed the Cessna aircraft's reconnaissance mission over the city. A few managed to take photographs that soon began circulation amongst the high command of the Moscow Union. The soldiers that had witnessed the event promptly received gag orders to prevent the word from spreading below when they received leave.<br>
</span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'courier new'"><b>&gt;&gt;*&lt;&lt;</b><br>
</span>​</div><span style="font-family: 'courier new'">Polzin received word of the flight almost immediately after his conversation with Alexander ended and the friendly torturer returned to D6, and on top of that news that Jalopy operatives had successfully captured several live Metahumans and were now in the process of transferring them back to the Moscow Metro. He had quickly authorized them to use Metro 2 and to deposit the specimens into the care of his albino comrade in D6 post haste. He notified Alexander not to harm them mentally or physically, but to instead bathe, clothe, feed and teach the little ones to gain their trust. The boyish and frail man would be their only human contact for a long time. He didn't show it on his face, but Polzin smirked at the thought of them imprinting on him like chicks to a hen if all went well. </span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Hagrid, that was his name, the soldier everyone tries their best to avoid, the soldier who's strength and ruthlessness was the sole reason he was hired as Portmans right hand man. Hagrid stood over the ones working the main radio room, citizens who worked in this room, ate in this room, and slept two floors down....needles to say, Hagrid was seen as a bully the way he treats these people, but in his defense, he treats everyone with the same coldness, "hurry up and get a signal to Sumy, I won't say it again" "sir" one of the radiomen said, "with all due respect, they haven't set up a proper radio station, they've clearing out mutant co-" he was stopped by a hard shove in the head by the but of a pipe gun....the pipe gun Hagrid was holding. The worker was knocked out immediately, and instead of letting the guards take him to the infirmary, he stopped them, pointing his gun at the now speel in worker, "now, anymore remarks, and I shoot this man AND the one who dares to speak out of term, ARE WE CLEAR!!!!" sharp nods came from the rest of the workers, as they started working faster and more diligently. Hagrid left the room, closed the door, and spoke to the guards, "when he wakes up, inform him that he is officially relieved from his duty as part of their little team, tell him he will be moved to standard civilian housing, and be working in the farms", "yes sir" the higher ranked officer said, shifting and sighing in relief as Hagrid left the floor, and used the elevator to travel to the dictators floor. His floor, unlike the others, we're filled with soldiers, the other rooms on said floor were hollowed out (except for the one he used as an office) and literally lined with soldiers (they switch out every 6 hours). "Well, shit, he won't like this" Hagrid said, opening the door and stepping in, closing the door behind him.<br>
"What do you mean they haven't set it up yet!, damn, fucking mutants, I'll have them all killed" Portman exclaimed, staring at his main guard as he stood there, "rrrg....whatever, I want the mutant heads staked on polls on the outskirts of Sumy....now, as you probably know the drill by now, the soldiers should be ready, have them move towards Kharkiv"<br>
<b>Capture of Kharkiv, Ukraine is starting, 100 advanced soldiers, 50 standard, military prioritized after the battle of Sumy, all "savages", as the 7ft mutants are called, are to be killed on sight. 4 trucks, one bus, also sent.<br>

			The Romans were first greeted by two Milanese Guards, flanked by three Condotierris each. "We greet you and welcome you to the combined cities of Milan and Genoa. You have just missed our warships leaving to map the coasts to the west. Come, follow us to the Grand City of Milan." They beckoned the Romans along and moved along the road through the twists and turns of the city. Reaching a gatehouse made of stone at the foundation and scrap metal towards the top connecting the wall that surrounded the city. Calling for the gate to open, the Guards halted for a few moments.<br>
<br>
     With a momentary grunt, two Condotierri moved to the gates and pushed them open. Reaching an out of city stables, the guards got six horses and mounted them. The evident captain of the six guards rode upon a mighty destrier while the other seven rode on palfreys. Though they passed fourteen towers with six crossbowmen at the top each, one tower for every two and a half leagues.<br>
<br>
     Though the roads seemed safe enough (if lacking pavement - mostly dirt and gravel) the Condotierri kept their carbines in hand at all times, always looking out for mutants. The Milanese Guards had sabers in scabbard but always kept an eye out - a bit difficult, considering their sallets only allowed them a narrow field of view.<br>
<br>
     The beauty of Milan was not overstated - while the buildings were simple, many were made of stone with tiled roofs. The outer city was surrounded a still being built stone wall with four gates, with hundreds of workers toiling hard. The inner city had a finished stone wall with crossbowmen patrolling, and seven noblemen, six of the noble houses of Milan and the Duke himself in a scarlet cloak with a crown of gold and silver upon his head to greet them, his doublet a dark grey accented with golden yellow.<br>
<br>
     "Benvenuti a Milano. Come, we have much to discuss." The Duke, the nobles, the guards, and the Romans all moved along the streets, and after a bit of time arrived at the Duke's Manor. A towering four story building with marble columns, stone walls, tiled roofs. There were servants houses, a doorway to the kitchens, a seperate bathhouse, and plumbing. On the western side there was a tower made of marble with ivory decor where the Milanese guards were housed and outside of the manors walls hundreds of merchants peddled their wares while commonfolk traveled back home for the day. Coming upon the gate to the manor, the head Guardsman unlocked the gate and pulled it open with a creak.<br>
<br>
    The two Romans had finally reached the personal manor of the Duke of Milan - here, a deal could be made, or things could wrong... all depending upon the Roman's actions. Those present were Duke Marco Sforza, the two Roman diplomats, the two Milanese guards, a Genoese representative and any guards brought by the Romans.<br>

"Gratitude for the invitation into your great city. I am Marcus Tullius Bellatus, a senator of Rome, which is the very matter I would like to broach subject with. We had gained word of your fair city as we sailed upon the coast and would be honored if it would become a sister of Rome. What I offer is Support, Power, and Equality... with the conjoining into our Republic you will receive fair representation within the Senate, the ability to rule your people still, positions of power within the Republic, as well as support of nutrition, labor, and warfare." His hands moved ever fluidly as he spoke as if he were conducting the rythem of his speech. "Of course all details are negotiable... what say you to our most humble offering?" He bowed his head slightly after the short but concise speech.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center">Moscow's surface<br>
<br>
After Yuri was done exploring the building and found it completely empty, he had returned with Alexi. A minute later and Marina had also returned to them downstairs, after discovering what the sound was. "We are clear, but we cannot stay here. We will have to return eventual-" Before Yuri could continue he heard some beeping coming from his left arm. He would take a look at his watch and sigh before changing his mask filter. It was of course not full, they couldn't ever hope to reproduce any or refill them. Filters having ran off of years of trade, and reuse, using primitive forms to try recovering and repairing any damaged ones to no avail. Though of course reuse was mostly impossible since surface explorers would be forced to use them fully. "There is a unknown outpost nearby, we didn't make it." Alexi had said to Yuri. His only response being to shake his head. "There isn't a single goddamned thing left up here that we have not already found, now we have to deal with this." Yuri complained and slammed his fist against the  wall. "It is not safe to remain here, with whatever that sound was and a outpost nearby." Marina would walk up to the door and slowly opening it, checking if anything or one was outside. "Alright, let's get the hell out of here." She would then open the door and continue to look over the land as everyone slowly left as well. After also discovering some form of mutant. Worried over how many there may be that they cannot see, they would begin attempting to quickly escape back to the metro as fast as they possibly could. Alexi would quickly look down and notice a very, VERY thin line in front of him. "SHIT!" Alexi yelled out before triggering the trap and engaging the shotgun shell planted there earlier, going off into Alexi's left foot. "ARGGGGGGHAAAAAH"<br>
<br>
Yuri and Marina would quickly stop and turn around running towards Alexi, and attempting to recover him and firing at the approaching mutant. There were now three of them, with one being gunned down by Yuri's shotgun. Marina would raise her rifle up and take position, attempting to get a perfect shot as the ammo her weapon fires is incredibly rare. They saved some ammunition from mutant purging, but there would have been far less than there use to be. She would have her right knee on the ground and resting her left elbow on her left knee, aiming at the mutant's head. She would hold her breath before pulling the trigger, and blowing a hole through it's head. Yuri would begin to aim while Alexi painfully turned over and they both shot at the last one while it was falling, having triggered one of the shell traps and getting shot in the foot. "Now get him up. Move your ass Yuri!" she would then stand up and reload as Yuri forced Alexi up, and begin leaving back to the metro. Yuri could hear Alexi gasping for air, and then used one of his own filters to replace Alexi's. Alexi not having a watch to help him monitor the time to change the filters. Once they finally got back, some armed guards would help get Alexi back in and quickly seal the exit again. Marina would give her farewells to Yuri and Alexi as they were taken away, and Marina had to go report back to Pionerskaya. They knew that the union did not have any average medical care, and Alexi would possibly die if not by blood loss, then by infection. However everything in the union's power would be used to try keeping him alive. Marina would not say a word after having returned, and would attempt to find a nearby military post to report back to. Ironically and for the utmost protection, one was located between the exit itself, and the primary station. It would be easy to notice, as it had 2 broken machineguns they could never hope to fix with sandbag protection. They used the machineguns in their time after some peacVictore was achieved after the mutant purges, to terrify anyone who attempted to escape. However in reality, only the barrel of the gun was intact with the rest being hidden behind a scrap barrier. The barrier being there to prevent anyone from realizing that the gun was no longer what it once was. <br>
<br>
As usual there would be people complaining, and even at times attempting to beat each other to death just to get something to eat whatsoever. Once Marina had reached the post, she informed captain Victor Sharonov that there was something she never seen before in the sky. He would be bewildered that she did not know what a plane was, but considering how young she was he quickly just ignored it. Before any action could be taken two soldiers would of ran up, one with a RPK and green uniform, and the other being the regular uniform. They had come from deeper within the line than they already were. "Krylatskoe is being overrun by mutants, we need reinforcements immediately!" They requested to the captain. "I.... Shit." He didn't even say anything more, the captain simply just ran out and rang the station bell. Immediately afterwards, the entire garrison besides the 40 stationed at the exit would be alerted and all would be sent down the line to the station. One 3 car-handcart would be used to get them there quickly, without exhausting them and thus making them less effective at removing the threat.​</div></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><u>Portofino Palace</u><br>
The recent times had brought great news and change to Genoa. The discovery of other city-states and the joining of the new Roman system had created an air of excitement and anticipation. Trade ships had already begun making their way towards Roman ports, carrying food to sell. Genoa had begun its slow but sure rise to becoming a naval trade power once more.<br>
<br>
<u>Marseille</u><br>
Ships scavenging along the French coast had brought news of the city of Marseille. It had no government and was stuck in apocalyptic savagery. To take advantage of its resources and to save its inhabitants, Genoa has begun the process of taking over Marseille. Some docks and a small port have been rebuilt and set up and survivors are being gathered and brought into the Genoese Protectorate. While control is fairly solid, rebuilding will take much, much longer. 50 men from Marseille have joined the Genoese military, and a local militia is being organized.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Upon the news of the two sprawling coties Joining the Republic Marcus Tullius Bellatus began to make his way to Neapolis for the Festival. But before he would do so he made a stop in Corsica, where he made many agreements with the Locals, many of whom were excited to see more seafaring and tride brought back to the Island and those who would not follow were easily conquered as they were ill equipped and had little to no train with what few guns they had. Upon Tullius' departure weeks later the eastern half of Corsica was under Control of the Republic. With many of the legionaires still stationed in Corsica and many Auxiliary by their side they would easily fortify the ground they had taken. Tullius returned to Neapolis and Rome to take part in the upcoming festival that would be a momentous occasion for the Politics of the Republic.</div>

<b><u>Bay of Biscay</u></b><br>
</span><br>
The two ships; AIN Monge and AIN Bougainville are in the middle of Bay of Biscay to analyze the trade routes going to Bordeaux before the war. AIN Monge is a medium-sized track ship, carrying tons of buoy to manage the dangerous sea waves of Bay of Biscay and to put a direction towards the city of Bordeaux if a ship was lost in the gigantic bay. AIN Monge was led by a navy officer named Alfred Bernard and AIN Bougainville was led by a navy officer named Carlo Dubois.<br>
<br>
"A.I.N Bougainville, do you copy?" Officer Alfred speaks on the radio.<br>
"Affirmative, A.I.N Monge." Officer Carlo replied on the radio.<br>
"We are preparing to put buoys on the waters, over." Officer Alfred continued, "I want your men to be ready in case someone attack us, over." Officer Alfred said.<br>
"Roger that, A.I.N Monge. A.I.N Bougainville out." Officer Carlo hang up.<br>
<br>
The sailors from A.I.N Bougainville were armed with long-ranged rifles to protect A.I.N Monge from an unexpected attack. Meanwhile, the sailors from A.I.N Monge were putting down buoys on the waters. Each buoy will be placed from the water and its distance with each other would be 5 km. So far, nothing happened and the waters were solid flat. It was a clear sky, thank heavens there was no bad weather-.. for now.<br>
<br>
Effects:<br>
- Life buoys were placed in the Bay of Biscay, their distance is 5 km away from each other. The life buoys were heading towards the shores of Soulac-Sur-Mer and possibly Bordeaux.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #ff0000"><b><u>AIN La Mouqueuse &amp; AIN La Glourieuse</u></b><br>
<b><u>Near San Sebastián, Iberian Peninsula, Bay of Biscay</u></b><br>
</span><br>
As part of Aquitaine's goals of expansionism, the two coastal patrol ships; AIN La Mouqueuse &amp; AIN La Glourieuse was heading south of Bay of Biscay to find new lands for Aquitaine, they've already seen the western Pyrenees mountains and an Andorran flag raised on that land.

 could see two medium-sized Aquitanian ships heading south). It's been an hour since they left the Imperial Navy HQ until one of the sailors from AIN La Glourieuse spot an island covering a city. The sailor went to the navy officer named Chandler Durand to talk about the urgent news.<br>
<br>
"Sir, I've spotted some sort of a lost city." the sailor said.<br>
"Are you sure, comrade?" Officer Chandler replied and the sailor just nod. Officer Chandler went outside of the cockpit as he carry a telescope. The officer would zoom out and would see a big rock island covering the bay and moments later, the officer could see the lost city of San Sebastián. No one knows who controlled the lost city but the Aquitanians discovered a new land for expansion. Officer Chandler Durand would order AIN La Mouqueuse and AIN La Glourieuse to head back to Imperial Aquitaine to discuss with the Emperor.<br>
<br>
Effects:<br>
- The Aquitanians discovered the lost city of San Sebastián, north of Iberian Peninsula; 475 km to the <b><u>Kingdom of Madrid.</u></b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #ff0000"><b><u>Square Vinet, Bordeaux, Imperial Aquitaine</u></b><br>
</span><br>
Thousands of civilians are crowding up the Square Vinet to attend the Emperor's nation address. Enzo and his fiancee Suzanne was in a limo heading to Square Vinet, the young and sharp-minded Emperor was nervous but excited to address his speech towards his people. "You seem nervous, my love." Suzanne chuckles. "But this nervousness will stop when i'm on the podium." Enzo chuckles. The limo would arrive at the back of Square Vinet where soldiers occupy the area. As Enzo and Suzanne steps out, they would be accompanied by the finest elite units of Aquitaine; the Imperial Guards, who sworn to protect the Emperor and the Empress of this great nation.<br>
<br>
As Enzo goes towards the podium, many civilians would cheer him. Chanting "Hail Moreau!", the soon-to-be-Empress Suzanne and other government officials would take a seat. Enzo would raise his hands up which the crowd would now be silent and ready to listen to their great leader.<br>
<br>
"Citizens of Bordeaux and the territories of the Empire of Aquitaine, our great nation have survived the bombs fifty years ago, my great-grandfather Alain Juppe, who is the last mayor of this city saved us from nuclear catasthropic. We believed ourselves that we are the <i>last French people</i> who are powerful, strong, and preserved the history of this world. We are the descendants of the French government! Today, I asked you that our nation will be stronger than ever! If you really sworn your loyalty to the Empire. This will be a new beginning to us, as we are the last French people alive in Francia, we must expand and reclaim the lost lands of Francia!" the crowd would cheer and moments later they stopped, "The rumors about smaller nations rising from the ashes are true and it's a fact. We've officially establish contact with the Kingdom of Andorra; our southern neighbor who is a pre-war government just like us and there are tons of nations out there such as Duchy of Milan and Genoa but there is a nation who will be the threat to our sovereignty in the future; the Roman Republic." people would began murmuring with each other as they heard <u><i>Roman Republic</i></u> in their ears.<br>
<br>
"You've all known that this new Roman Republic is the same as ancient Rome. Their leaders or their descendants are very educated people since they revived the Roman Republic into this new world we lived in. You've all known their methods, they conquer, they murder, and they slaved other nations and those nations who choose to be a loyal of the Republic are poor vassals of their masters. People in Rome are brainwashed, doesn't know what happened in the past unlike us, we know the history of the past. As we are the last French people alive in this new world we live in, we would never-.. ever bow to anyone except Aquitaine! Together, we expand for the sake of our people! We could now finally unite with other French people who aren't part of Imperial Aquitaine! Glory to Aquitaine!"<br>
<br>
And the people would cheer and chant, "Glory to Aquitaine! Hail Moreau!" as they do French salute to their Emperor.<br>
<br>
Effects:<br>
- Aquitanian people are dedicated to their Emperor and the Empire which increased the national unity further.<br>
- Aquitanians have now a big disliked towards Rome.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Walkers and Ferdinand, still at it. Keeping the perimeter of Ol' London safe and secure. Would be fitting for a propaganda poster, if you think about it. Nothing much had happened. Nothing much will probably happen.<br>
<br>
"Shoulda brought something to mark some these places. I noticed some abandoned industrial buildings not too far."<br>
<br>
It was Walkers, again - as usual. He continued his efforts to make a conversation with his partner. Any attempt was normally shot down faster than a chicken about to be butchered.<br>
<br>
"We can go back after we've finished up with our patrol."<br>
<br>
Walkers let out a sigh of frustration. When Ferdinand said something like that, it normally meant that they wouldn't even let the thought of going back come close to their brains. Ferdinand: a man of many mysteries.</div>

Tver was easy to annex, Roman thought. After the battle at the airport, he was ordered to help recruit the handful of human settlements located amongst the ruins of the old world city to the cause of D6. Those not awed by the display of the Muscovites' martial strength were quickly woo'd by the prospects of no longer existing, but living and prospering. In total about 2,500 souls had flocked to the hope that he provided, and already reconstruction efforts had begun to transform Tver into a functioning city. Soon he was told that Cossack Company and Jalopy would be transferring to Tula and Ryazan respectively, clearing and rallying those cities behind the star of their motherland. He and the fifty able-bodied men that served under him while left behind for now will lead in the days to come a column of infantry to the great city of the ancients, Nizhniy Novgorod.<br>

</span></b>​</div><span style="font-family: 'courier new'">Alexander didn't understand Polzin. While he felt privately honored by his comrade in this mission to reconcile the mutual hate between Metahumans and man, he assumed that Polzin disliked his need for him. Whether he was chosen for this task to fail or succeed, he was determined to see it through for his friend. After bathing the toddler-like Metahumans and taking their measurements for most unusual and surely classified tailor requests, he had begun to feel like a glorified babysitter. On the upside, he had found that the creatures very much enjoyed mushrooms and the sheer availability of water that he provided them on request- he had even taken to incentivizing their slow though steady progress in speaking proper Russian with some of the more luxurious mushroom treats he had managed to requisition from the Ring Stations. He didn't know if they wouldn't strangle him if they had the chance yet, but he believed he sensed the beginning of a relationship where they at least tolerated his presence without visible anger or distress. </span></div>

At 7:56 AM on Tuesday, eighty men entered Alexandroupoli to clear any threats before the settlers moved in.

					<div class="bbWrapper">Tetriarch Samuel Messdan sat on top of his horse, leaning over the saddle as he watched the 1st Athenian Regiment set up camp along the eastern coastline near Athens. Horsemen could be seen heading off into the distance, sent out on patrol to secure the area. Messdan doubted there would be any threat within the area, but it payed to be careful.<br>
<br>
The Tetriarch had been sent out to expand the Empires borders eastward, while Tetriarch Andreou took command of the 2nd Athenian Regiment, and did the same to the west. As a matter of principle and practice, there always had to be a Tetriarch in Athens. The 3rd regiment stood as the current home guards as they waited for orders to deploy.<br>

It all came down to time in truth. The faster they could take land around Athens, the faster they could rebuild using the resources taken. Very important for a growing Empire, and even more so for a nation under risk. There was talk of a nation to the north east of Athens, and Messdan and his peers wanted to be prepared should things go poorly.<br>
---<br>
<br>
Actions:<br>
Athenian regiments expand Empire territory to the east and west of Athens. Westward towards Patrai.<br>
Reconstruction of roads begin spreading out from Athens.<br>
Mining and farming operations are expanded.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-size: 26px">The Russian Empire</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px"><b>Riga Outskirts, 0850 hours</b><br>
The group of trucks rolled on along the old highways, marks on the earth that tell the stories of the old world. They were approaching Riga and they were within 10 miles of the city.After a few more minutes, the old ruins appeared on the horizon. A cheer went up amongst the men as they approached. As they reached the gate, an Embassador, one Smolin Yanovich, dismounted with a party of Russian troops armed with AK 47s. They approached the gate and, after discussion with the people of Riga, were allowed to occupy an old building, fix it up, and use it as a Russian embassy within Riga. <br>
<b>Novogrod</b><br>
Meanwhile, the other convoy, the one sent to Moscow, had taken a bit of a wrong turn and ended up in Novogrod. As they drove down the streets, they were suddenly pelted with small arms fire from the buildings above. Quickly, they dismounted and took cover in whatever buildings they could. One soldier, a platoon commander named Edgar Alekseeva quickly reorganized the Russians. <br>
  Looking around, Edgar felt a mixture of excitement and terror <i>this is what battle's like...</i> he quickly snapped out of his thoughts and began barking orders. "Listen, comrades! Today we fight not only for the Tsar's glory, but for our very lives!" He looked to the man next to him, one of his Corporals "Dimitri, get the snipers together and start taking out HVTs." <br>
  "Yes, sir." Dimitri ran off to gather everyone he could find with a scoped Nagant. Meanwhile, Edgar, along with all the soldiers near him, starting taking accurate, semi-automatic shots at any Bandit who dare expose himself. After about 15 minutes, Edgar gathered 10 men and ran across the street.They entered the building most of the firing was coming from. Then, with Edgar at the head of the unit, they began methodically clearing the building, room by room. They would enter a room and lay down automatic fire with their AK 47s or PPSHes before either taking the remaining bandits prisoner or going in with bayonets for the kill. Inspired by his example, other brave groups of men attempted to do the same thing to the other buildings. After 30 minutes of tough close quarters fighting, the day was won by the Russians. <br>
   Once the attack was fought off, a radio message was sent back to St Petersburg. The Russian Advisory Council, determining something of value must be in Novogrod, sent settlers out to the city, and claimed a cone of land from St petersburg to Novogrod for the Empire.<br>
<b>Outside St Petersburg</b><br>
   Several miles outside St Petersburg stands a great fort. This fort is the stronghold of the mounted bandits that have for nearly a decade been ravaging Russia's outer holdings, making farmers pay tribute. Several Russian battalions had been sent to deal with them, but all so far had been defeated by the superior mobility of these bandits. However in recent months several decisive victories have been scored by the Russians. Now the Bandit's king and his retainer were trapped within this fortress, and the Russians had surrounded the fort. With supplies running low for the defenders, the Russians decided one day to launch an all out assault. Colonel Ivan Brusilov, one of the Empire's best commanders, organized it. The Russians attacked with hand grenades, followed by a period of skirmishing with the few defenders who stood on the walls to face them. A siege tower, which had been built on the scene, was rolled up to the walls and the Russian troops hopped off, firing PPSHes and charging with bayonets. Within an hour, all fighting had ceased as the Imperial Eagle was raised over the fort. The Bandit king was taken and brought to a tent, where he was greeted by Peter.<br>
"Greetings." The old Tsar began. "It is my pleasure to finally meet you, after all of the suffering you have inflicted on me people" <br>
The Bandit leader just stared at Peter, his eyes full of venom.<br>
"Do not worry, it isnt my intention to kill you." At this, the Bandit relaxed.<br>
"In fact, I would like to offer your nation legitimization and vassilization under the Russian Empire. Of course, your holdings are on Russian territory, so your refusal will result in your expulsion from your lands. What is your name, and do you accept?"<br>
"Mosalev Illich, and yes, I do accept."<br>
"Very well, I proclaim you Count Mosalev of the Russian Empire. Of course, you will be forced to pay taxes to the Empire. I have a special tax planned for you. Instead of food or monetary taxes, I want you to pay your taxes in men. Your people are efficient cavalrymen, and I'd like to establish them as my new Cossacks."<br>
"Very well, my liege. We have a deal."<br>
"My thanks. Now, Count Mosalev, go and take control of your new county, we will map out your borders soon."</span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">A small patrol of Macedonian cavalry, sent out from the 1st Regiments camp, spotted the approaching boat. The ship had barely touched down when the five soldiers surrounded the boat. Each was armed with a single shot pistol, as well as a saber. The sergeant of the the patrol kicked his mount forward, before dismounting near the foreigners. "You are currently standing on New Macedonian Empire soil. Identify yourself and your purpose here." As he spoke, he turned his head slightly to the rest of his men, briefly flashing quick hand signs. <br>
<br>
At the motion, one of the riders detached himself from the group, quickly wheeling his horse around and riding off, back towards the 1st Regiments encampment. Whoever this lot was, their presence would have to be brought up with the Tetriarch. He would have final say on what happened.<br>

<b>The Queen.</b><br>
The Queen made her way down the Finnish coast. She had a discussion with some of the advisers and, of course, the 'admiral' of the 'fleet'. This discussion was over whether they should risk it, save hours or even days of travel and cut across the Finnish gulf or play it safe and take the long lumbering trip around. After a small Sea Vidunder bashed the side of one of the ships, only to be fished onto the deck of one of the yachts and prepared as a meal, they decided not to risk it. Instead risking the small number of raiders that travel the sea. The few soldiers with them armed with guns should be more then sufficient to stop any such threat. This was proven when a small fishing vessel began to approach them, when the could see the solders armed and ready they headed back to the Finnish coast. After a few more hours of travel they came across an area. There were great long sand banks restricting travel in or out. However they shallow Yachts and Ferries could pass over the ruined bridges. While the Queens own boat had to remain outside. Not knowing what to expect she sent some advisors and a contingent of troops to go in and look if there was anything worth her time and, most importantly, if it was safe. The rest of the ships remained with the Queen as they set off. The ferry is topped with soldiers, peering out and guns ready as they travel further in. Seeing a hub of activity they prepare to meet a potentially civilised group. <a href="/members/lordvader59.6988/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="6988" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId133">

<b>The Prince.</b><br>
As the convoy approached the town of Avesta, a town well known for its small community willing to buy food and trade with the Swedish soldiers out on hunt, the Prince was sleeping. He was curled up with his new friend, his snowy pup that he had yet to name when a shot rang out. The Truck ahead of them swerved and so the truck transporting the Prince had to adjust similarly. He awoke with a start just as he heard the thud of the driver from the other truck's body hitting the ground. They had yet to see their assailants but they backed up to the Trucks, hopping in the back with the Prince and his pet. The two armed with guns were ready to fire and the others kept their eyes open, ready to point out any movement. Soon after noises could be heard from the roadside and a firefight began as the two armed soldiers attempted to suppress and kill their assailants. With the pup cowering in a corner the Prince grabbed his axe and leapt from the Truck into the underbrush. As he landed he rolled, standing up right next to one of their attackers. The women tried to bash at him with the but end of her gun but the Prince parried with his Axe and then embedded it into her neck. Not waiting to remove it he grabbed her rifle and began crawling through the bushes. He came across a few dead bodies and a pair of men, one turned to shoot him and the Prince fired a deafening shot through the bridge of his nose, not generally a good place to aim but at this range it did the job and the mans brains flew all over the trees behind. The other just began cowering in fear. The Prince could see no other threats so he grabbed the man and pushed him out into the road as he ordered his men not to shoot at him. There was still the issue of the sniper that apparently took out one of his guards. When he passed from the greenery he found that in the battle another guard lay dead. "Take this man. Tie him too the bear. Let his feet drag against the road." He ordered as he looked to the distance. Just as he did it lit up with gunfire. Who ever was out there was fighting someone. He ordered his men back onto the truck and had his two dead guards hurriedly tied down in the truck, awaiting a time they could be properly put to rest. When he arrived at the distant firefight it was over, dead on both sides but it turned out that the victors were people of Avesta who had heard the fighting and went to investigate. It was one of their own trying to use the well travelled road to take his own profit. He gathered a small following and tried to attack them. Pity they put themselves up against the Prince or they may have made quite a name for themselves. He was offered a free place to sleep, they filled his fuel with as much as they could spare, apologised and begged that the Kingdom not seek revenge for this, as it was not their wish for it to happen. He assured them of his forgiveness and asked for something to wrap his dead in so they would not be left to the elements. He gave them the prisoner, whose feet were already badly burned and cut, and in return they offered a beautiful Shield maiden for his guard, though what purpose he would have her serve neither he or they knew. He tried to decline but she was as insistent as the people and so they travelled back to Stockholm. When he arrived he was greeted with news of the victory over Uppsala and a ceremony would be held to celebrate his great kill. The young women that offered herself to his service seemed to be following him about as loyally as the puppy. The Puppy he named Loki and later he learned his other follower was named Freyja.</span>​</div>

A new project was underway. Said project was to fit an icebreaker onto an ironclad, allowing year-round access to the Baltic sea. It will take an unknown amount of time to get a proper ram fitted onto the warship.<br>

The Swedish envoys were greeted by a Russian diplomat escorted by several men with AKs. "Who are you, and from where do you hail?" <br>

Brutal weapons, efficient weapons. Meant to kill." The sergeants hand suddenly snapped down to his hip, drawing the pistol he had there, and holding it in the air, pointing to the side. "This is also an efficient weapon. If I gave the signal, four of your people, including you my friend, would be dead in a heart beat. Then we could ride away before you did anything." He holstered the weapon then, turning and mounting his horse.<br>
<br>
"There are other options that war or submission. I would recommend you depart and inform your leaders, before you brashly go getting thousands of people killed." With that, the sergeant flicked his hand, leading his men in at a gallop towards the 1st Regiment encampment.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Franz sat in his dark room. His hands were tightly folded around one another. His desk was oddly cold. Another voice, coarse and ragged spoke from a corner. "About a hundred dead isn't too bad. It was our boys' first time in a larger scale battle. Plus, it was unknown territory.," the voice explained. Franz shook his head. "Inform the commanders to reduce the casualties next time we perform operations such as this." Franz grunted, and related his hands. He leaned back in his chair, and took a deep breath. "This is what happens when you use common soldiers. Next time the Fist will be used to 'hinder' our opponents battle capabilities." Franz grinned. The voice from the corner spoke up once again. "Understood. I'll inform the public that we have conquered Potsdam. The few thousand people in Potsdam are already beginning to assist us by the way. They appreciate not being owned by wastelanders."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Upon the finish of the Holidays in Rome Marcus Tullius Bellatus had wanted to send a gift to the Eastern Romans as well as an invitation to a more prosperous relationship, perhaps a real alliance. Yet one of the biggest reasons he would send the ship was to assess the potential future threat of the Republic. They are sent there with 3 goals, one to survey the city in order to find the strengths and weaknesses of it. 2 to survey it's people and discover any cracks within their society and empire. And 3: give the rulers there deals and gifts in order to bring them on Rome's side, because sometimes to take an empire you must first take it's most powerful resource: money.</div>

</span></span></span>​</div><b><u><span style="color: #ff0000">Place de la Bourse, Bordeaux, Imperial Aquitaine</span></u></b><br>
<br>
After a week, the Emperor and all of the generals of the Aquitanian military are having a meeting about the expansion of the Empire. Enzo Moreau was excited to see how the Empire would change in the future despite they have a great terrible enemy in the East; the Roman Republic whom they have never establish contact yet.<br>
<br>
"Listen up, gentleman, finally, we could make this happen, we can expand our nation and reclaim the lost territories of Francia." the Emperor said as he takes a map of Europe. Most of southwestern Europe was colored between nations. The light red is Aquitaine, the blue is Andorra, and the blood red is Rome together with Duchy of Milan &amp; Genoa. The Emperor would look at General Adam, "General Adam. You will seize nearby settlements in the northeast such as Saint André-de-Cuzbac, I've heard those settlements in the northeast wants to join our Empire Do what it needs to be done, General, don't kill them unless they provoke us first." General Adams replied, "Yes your grace." the navy general Hugo Martin noticed that the Duchy of Milan &amp; Genoa is painted as blood red. "Your grace, why is the Duchy painted as blood red?" The navy general questioned him. "Our spies from Milan said they have joined Rome together with its vassal Genoa. Plus, Marseille, a bustling French coastal city before the war, was occupied by Genoese military." the Emperor continued, "We must expand sooner before they set further to Francia, these fanatics must be stopped!" and then the navy officer Chandler Durand interrupted the Emperor, "Your grace, while we were scouting the Bay of Biscay, we've just found a lost city. I don't think it's in Francia, your grace but it's best we claim the lost city." The Emperor smiled, "Do what needs to be done. Glory to Aquitaine, gentlemen, good luck." and all of the generals replied, "Glory to Aquitaine! Hail Moreau!" as they do the French salute towards the Emperor, they would soon leave the Place de la Bourse to start the expansion, for the sake of the Empire.<br>
<br>
<b><u><span style="color: #ff0000">St. André-de-Cubzac<br>
20km Northeast from Bordeaux<br>
</span></u></b><br>
St. André-de-Cuzbac is a nearby big bustling settlement located in the northeast of Imperial Aquitaine whom have been very friendly towards the Empire for years and rumour has it that the people of St. André-de-Cuzbac are vying to join the Empire of Aquitaine after Emperor Enzo addressed the nation about unifying the French people at all costs and the leaders of this big settlement are having a discussion whether they would join the Empire or not.<br>
<br>
General Adam and his hundreds of men have arrived in St. André-de-Cuzbac with Aquitanian banners flying. Many people have seen them and began to murmur until a boy shouted, "Glory to Aquitaine!" and the boy repeated the common greeting of Imperial Aquitaine and moments later many people would follow the boy's chant and does the same. General Adam and his men were welcomed by people of this big community.<br>
<br>
The mayor and his lieutenants would get out of the building and they were happy to see the Aquitanians at their home. The soldiers were setting up large Aquitanian banners in government buildings. The mayor would say, "Glory to Aquitaine, sir, how may I help you?" General Adam smiled and he said, "This settlement, sir, will be under the territories of the Empire of Aquitaine, our goal is to unite the French people on our case." The mayor and his lieutenants began to murmur until the mayor decided to say, "Our people have waited this moment after all these years, I promise to you that we will be staunch loyalists of Emperor Enzo and the Empire. Hail Moreau!" and after that the big settlements of St. André-de-Cuzbac, the northeast land near Bordeaux will be under the territories of the Empire of Aquitaine.<br>
<br>
<b><u><span style="color: #ff0000">San Sebastiàn, Basque County, Iberian Peninsula<br>
</span></u></b><br>
The conquest of San Sebastiàn is led by navy general Hugo Martin with two destroyers AIN Cassard and AIN Georges Leygues armed with 18th-century cannon fully operated. The land forces would led by officer Carlo Dubois and it would total of 800 men. After that, the Aquitanian Imperial Navy would embark on the island and the island who is blocking the view of the lost city of San Sebastiàn would be under control of the Aquitanian forces.<br>
<br>
Soon, hundreds of wooden boats would be sent to the beaches of San Sebastián, carrying Aquitanian banners. They could see a resort as they landed on the beaches of San Sebastiàn. The soldiers were prepared in case something happens but this lost city is dead quiet, no people, no raiders, no mutants. There was nothing in the city. Hours later, the Aquitanian forces would now arrive at the city of San Sebastián. The beaches of San Sebastián was now occupied by Aquitanian reinforcements and there was nothing on the city except that there are few mutant dogs packing which were eliminated. Abandoned government buildings were placed with large Aquitanian banners. Soon, this lost city would be a pure Aquitanian city.<br>
<br>
Weeks later, Aquitanian settlers would settle this lost city and thus, the Empire of Aquitaine set a stronghold outside of Francia.<br>
<br>
Effects: <br>
- Northeast lands near Aquitaine is now controlled by Empire of Aquitaine<br>
- San Sebastián is now under control of Imperial Aquitaine<br>
- Population increased to 900 + 6000 = 6900 (total of 47,500 population)</div>

The military of 300 people would be sent to krylatskoe along with 1 railcar with a RPK gunner. Most of the personnel had to go on foot, so they would be somewhat late but could help reinforce overrun positions. There would only be silence on the way to the station as the soldiers on the cart simply took a defensive position, Marina would be crouched down looking ahead and down the tunnel. A few soldiers were checking their ammunition, checking their guns, and afterwards they all attached a bayonet to them. "Well here we go again... What is attacking us this time?" one of them said but never got a answer. "All I know is, the station guard overheard gunfire and then was told to get help. So either this is some sick joke and the bastard needs to get shot, or it is another invasion." Marina replied monotone. The front railcar having the headlights turned on, and the gunner was checking his equipment and gun. She rose the gun up and made sure that none of the bullets were jammed inside of it. She would get the one in the chamber out but accidentally it would fly out before she could grab it, but another soldier on the 3-carter had got it. Since he couldn't exactly return it at this point, he shrugged and kept it to himself. "You will get this back later!" he yelled out so the gunner could actually hear him. "amateur." another soldier said while shaking his head. The gunner having saw him and only yelled back "Go fuck yourself!" and shooting at him once with a Ashot and then reloading, putting it away afterwards. However due to being far away, she only wasted the shell.​</div></div>

<span style="font-size: 15px">In the last week the Baltic Union built an military outpost outside Tallinn and have been both supplying their allies, the peaceful locals with weapons, but also fighting the raiders and gangs within themselves. While they had the manpower and weaponry to take the town by force it would bring in a lot of causalities and as such they currently fight in the style of small skirmishes: when a squad of Livonians or Tallinn Militia (the locals who have taken up arms) meets a squad of raiders or just a hostile gang of some sort, then they quickly engage in a fight. Whichever side flees first is the loser.<br>
Because of their superior equipment and better training so far the Livonian Protective Allies and Recruits are slowly taking the majority of the land. Any land they take usually stays in their hands, as Recruits are constantly trained in Pärnu, before being sent to Tallinn to mostly act as guards and defenders.<br>
In the one week of fighting 32 Livonian soldiers had died and a couple had been injured. Losses were still quite tame compared to the raiders, as they had killed at least a 100 of them.<br>
</span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 22px">Pärnu</span>​</div><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px">Some Protective Allies stop the Russian trucks a little while before the town and ask their business. Quickly realizing they don't speak any of the Baltic languages, they manage to find one soldier who can speak at least some faulty Russian.<br>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Linnakogu decided to send Riga 24 Protective Allies, under the argument that the Russians who turned up could become hostile, because they seem to have much better equipment than the Rigans.<br>

13:02 Hours<br>
High Paladin Xervia's Office<br>
Chief Engineer McTavish</b><br>
Sitting at the table across from the Colonel Scotty was more than a bit uncomfortable. He was still trying to get use to some of the changes since the group of survivors became the Commonwealth of Pralin. Like on how in military matters he reported to the Colonel rather than the Captain, or how the structure of the Marauder Corps was changing to differ from the old world militaries in order to seem more inviting to wastelanders.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Weel th' refit ay th' new valkyries is gonnae nicely. infact some ay th' norwegians oan th' crew hae e'en come up wi' a new nam, th' nokkën.” The engineer reported to the Colonel who had her feet up on the desk between them. She was wearing a different outfit than she would've worn before the Commonwealth had been Colonel Instead of her old BDUs she now wore the wedge and shoulder cape of the Marauder Corps’ Both with full gold trim around them to indicate the rank of Colonel, the material of them was in turn black to indicate the company which she came from, Charlie Company.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Nokkën? Where did that name come from exactly?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“It was some sort ay water demon ur some sic' frae norse mythology. they saw it fittin' tae nam th' new kimmers in th' sam vain as th' valkryies ur some sic'”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I see, what parts of the Seaking's ASW capabilities did you manage to transfer to the Nokkën, anyways?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Aw ay it 'en some. We managed tae transfer baith th' dippin' sonar, an' weapon racks. We also increased th' weapon rack's capacity an' gae it th' ability tae make water landings. Also in order tae deal wi' some ay th' smaller boats we've gotten secht ay we replaced th' 14.5 wi' a 40mm AGL. Aw in aw their mair durable an' hae bigger teeth, but fur boardin' they shoods be supplemented by th' regular valkyries.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Sounds like you’ve gone and made a bloody gunship, Scotty.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Tha’ I might of, but hopefully tae will be able tae help us protect our coastline. Will also be useful if we lose anyone at Sea.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“That is also true. What about the other projects?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Ah, tae factory rig should be up and running in no time, a week at the outside. Less if we rush it. Though I don't really see a need to.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Excellent, also… Scotty, the council has been talking.” The Colonel said, her face looking like she was moving on to a tougher topic.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Wae is it? Dun tell me something went wrong and yae want me to fix it. I ay a merical worker.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“It not that… We want you to retire, from  engineering. To be Frank you-”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Nay listen ere, Lassy. I am still of sound mind an’ body. I dun need nae retirement!”<br>
<br>
<br>
The Colonel stood up and ice water filled the engineer’s vains. He probably went too far this time. “You will listen, and you will listen to me good Chief McTavish. Is that understood?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes ma’am.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Good, now before you inturpted me I was saying. We want you to retire from engineering and move over to R&amp;D full time. We’ll allow you to pick your staff and work on projects as you see fit. But you are going to leave the engineering to a younger man.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes, Ma’am.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Good. Find a replacement, work on selecting your team, and bring the report back to me. Dismissed!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes Ma’am.”  The oldman got up from his seat, saluted, then turned and left the room.<br>

Lieutenant Nastda</b><br>
Lieutenant Harold Nastda loosely held his slug gun as he was riding in the back of the VTOL. With the recent escalation of mutant attacks and new information about a Prewar research complex hidden in Narvik Command had decided to send the entire Primary Force Regiment in order to reinforce the shrinking local Militia. Their mission was simple, deploy to Narvik, link up with the Militia, perform a force evaluation, locate the complex, raid it, then deal with the mutants.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Sir, have you ever gotten nervous right before everything went south?” asked one of his men. A young private by the name of Munroe if he remembered correctly.<br>
<br>
<br>
“It's probably preop jitters, you tend to get it every now and then.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“With all due respect, Sir. I’ve had the jitters, this isn't it.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I have the same feeling. I didn't want to say anything about it, sir.” Sergeant Murdoch mentioned from beside him.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Not you too, look it's just because they deployed the whole regi-” Nastda was cut off by the lights in the back of the VTOL suddenly dying and the Pilot’s voice coming through his headset.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Multiple locks! Brace for impa- SON OF A BITCH!” Something slammed into the aircraft and exploded breaking off the Pilot’s warning. The VTOL suddenly started spinning when a second missile slammed into aircraft, this time into the troop compartment. The explosion tore a hole into side of the bird in front of the Commanding Officer where moments before the nervous Marine had been telling him about a bad feeling. He felt like his insides had been thrown into a washing machine and that he was seeing through a prism he was so dizzy. Then there was an ungodly screeeeeeee, and bang as everything caught up with him.<br>

There was a loud banging on her door, and the Commander of the Marauder Corps rolled over in her bed. <i>It's the middle of the night whatever it is it can wait till morning.</i> The banging continued, and she started to get a little annoyed but she continued ignored the idiot who thought it was worth it to wake her up for something most likely insignificant. There was another bang and then the voice of an orderly. “Ma’am you’re needed in ops, our men have been engaged by a hostile force!” “I'll read the damned after action report. In the morning. They don't need me to look over their fucking shoulder! Now let me get some sleep.” “You don't understand!” “Like hell I don't!” “It's a severed wing situation! Multiple birds down!” She shot bolt upright and swung her legs over the side of her bunk. “Damnit you could of told me that the first knock!” She shouted as she stumbled around in the dark looking for her clothing.  “Move your ass! Wake the Captain! No scratch that get Echo and Foxtrot awake and on the flight deck first! Then the Captain!”<br>

Liutenant Nastda</b><br>
The man slowly awoke, his vision was blurry and the acrid smell of smoke hung heavy in the air. Sitting half upright in the VTOL (or what was left of it) he tried to blink away to redness in his vision. It took him a few moments to realize that redness was his own blood running down his face.  Shots rang out nearby, and it gave him strength until he realized that the shots weren’t of a caliber the Marauder Corps used, more importantly it was too slow, and too regular- <i>Dammit stop thinking that way. Alright quick check over.</i> he looked down at his body and checked his gear. Two C-20 Magazines, one standard, one Phoenix Dust. Not that it did him much good as his slug gun was nowhere to be seen. Fumbling a little he moved his fingers over the other pouches, a magazine for the C-12, armor piercing he thought. <i>Least I still have my sidearm…</i> His grenades were gone, so was his knife, and helmet. <i>Fuck I couldn't of lost all of that in the crash, one of our guys probably survived relatively unharmed. Did the once over, and probably assumed I was dead. Don't blame them.</i> He heard another one of the shots, this time very close and he could see a hulking figure through the haze of pain, smoke, and rage. There was a flash from the hand of the figure and his fear were confirmed, it was executing people. Something in him made what later he might of realized was a dumb decision. He drew his sidearm and fired a couple of the oversized rounds at the figure. The figure then turned to his direction and started walking towards him almost causally.<br>
<br>
<br>
The marine tried to back away, scurry even like a cornered animal whose flight response was going wild. But he was trapped, his leg pinned under debris from the VTOL. A giant metal hand reached out towards him and grabbed him by his shirt. Effortlessly it lifted him from the wreckage, severing his leg as it happened and brought him face to face with a metal demon. He realized logically that it was probably a person, but he had never seen impacted against the wall of a nearby building several meters away. <i>What the fuck is this thing?!</i> The crippled man thought, fighting for every inch of consciousness. He looked around for a weapon, any weapon as the Iron Juggernaut lumbered towards him. Then he spotted it, a C-12 laying only a meter from him. <i>If something would distract the bastard I could get to it!</i><br>
<br>
<br>
Suddenly his prayer was answered as someone came from seemingly out of nowhere armed with only a price of flaming timber and hit the demon on the back. The surprise distraction gave the injured Lieutenant enough time to crawl over to the discarded pistol. As he crawled towards the weapon, his Savior was backhanded by the enemy. Stretching out his arm he took the weapon into his hands and brought it to him. Propping himself up with one arm he took the armour piercing magazine and slid it into the pistol. Functioning the slide he watched as the round that had already been in the weapon popped out to be replaced with a new one from thesurvivors. Then leaning on his side he brought up the gun, trying his best to aim he fired off three shots at the enemy. He heard the twang of 14.5mm punching through metal and the enemy started to turn towards him. He fired off several more rounds and the figure seemed to just simply stop moving. It took the man, whose mind was fogged by pain to realize the only reason for the hulk not collapsing was that their armour was supporting them. The Lieutenant then finally slipped back into unconsciousness.<br>

Marauder Operations<br>
Colonel Xervia</b><br>
All of the techs, orderlies, and even the Colonel herself were staring agape at the scene unfolding on their monitors. It looked as if hell itself had lashed out against the men and women who wanted to take the Wasteland and make it a better place, and knocked them down back to the mere mortal levels they should never of left. Before their eyes dozens of Marines were fighting, and dieing against this new enemy in near futility. If it wasn't for their training and oversized ammunition they wouldn't have been able to make a dent, against the steel hides of the monsters who were lashing out against them.<br>
<br>
<br>
“GET THEM SOME FUCKING AIRSUPPORT, NOW!” Screamed the Colonel at one of the techs who was in communication with the Aircraft that had just been scrambled. “Ma’am they’re on full afterburners, the support regiment is still twenty minutes out. Leviathan also doesn't want to risk her position with those SAMs still down there.”<br>
<br>
<br>
The Colonel gave the tech who spoke up a stare that could have melted a glacier in the middle of a siberian winter. “Fuck what Leviathan wants! She’s a goddamned gunship, tell her to start firing!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Y-yes ma’am.” The now terrified tech went back to his headset and said something. “Leviathan acknowledges, Ma’am.” He looked like he wanted to melt into the floor plates of the room and escape from her wraith.<br>

Sergeant Murdoch</b><br>
The Sergeant got to her feet slowly. Looking at her foe she slowly realized the reason he wasn't moving was the 14.5mm armour piercing bullets that had ripped through his Armour. The hostile had hit her pretty hard. Stumbling over to where the Lieutenant was the Sergeant heard a whine and then an explosion. She hoped that it was friendly air support and not whoever they were fighting. “El Tee! You there?!” The woman yelled out to the liutenant as she stumbled over to his position. When she got there she saw that he wasn't moving, quickly she checked his pulse and found it. It was very weak but it was there. Hauling the man up over her shoulder she quickly chose a direction and went that way. After all in this hell it's not like it mattered to much.  <br>
<br>
<br>
Carrying her commanding officer the woman started for, well, somewhere. <i>Who the hell are these bastards?! More importantly where the hell did this kind of gear come from?! It's like something from one of those old science fiction books from the Pralin’s library.</i> She rounded a corner and there was an explosion from inside the building on her right. Once the smoke started clearing she could see one of the enemy thrown against the wall of the adjacent building. From inside of the source building came out a couple figures, upon seeing the Sergeant they quickly raised their weapons. “Don't shoot! Friendlies!” Their weapons remained up and one of them shouted a IFF check. “Maple!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Leaf!”<br>
<br>
<br>
One of the immediately came up to her and took some of the weight of the lieutenant. The one who came up to her wore a marine uniform with the marks of Alpha company. Meanwhile the other two weren't Marines, one of them wore leather armour and was carrying a C-20, he was probably one of the local Militia. Meanwhile the other one wore the flight suit of one of the Pralin’s aviators, with a ballistic vest quickly thrown over it, and she wielded an C12g PDWS. The aviator spoke up. “I'm Captain Rawley, who the hell are you?!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Sergeant Murdoch Bravo Company, this is Lieutenant Nastda our CO!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Dammit no time for chit chat, I managed to splash my bird without taking a SAM bit! The comms were so fucked up I decided to disembark and see if I could find survivors! Follow us!” The woman dropped back into the building they had just come out of and the Sergeant followed her.<br>

“Three, no four KIA.” Came the voice through the speakers bear the main monitor in marine ops. Currently feed from Leviathan was playing out on the screen.“Good kill, good kill.” Replied one of the techs, from his position. Obviously he was in charge of coordinating Leviathan with the other friendly units in the area, but the Colonel already new that didnt she? Looking around the room the atmosphere was now of silent rage now rather than the open shock it had been only minutes before. <i>Amazing how quickly these things play out, effective. Just wish we were on the dealing side.</i>  <br>
<br>
<br>
“What’s the Air Calvary’s ETA?” She asked to no one in particular.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Approximately another ten minutes ma’am.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“What the hell is going on here?!” Came an angry voice from the entrance of the ops room. Turning her head the Colonel realized it was Captain Hunt. “Like really? I'm sleeping and then I have nearly fifty Marines storm past my quarters in full combat gear and hear the sound of aircraft spooling up!” He continued.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Severed WNarvikCame the two word reply from the Colonel, and suddenly the Captain turned pale.<br>
<br>
<br>
“What can I do?!” He asked incredulously.<br>
<br>
<br>
“I thought the orderly who woke me up woke you up.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“No they didn't.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Get the Naval crew to battle stations, full AA and point defence. We’re not sure if they won't hit here.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“If that's the case why did I just see two Valkyries lift off full of Marines?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Honestly, given what we’ve seen I doubt they’ll board. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they sent a cruise missile this way.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Got it…”<br>

“Ma’am FLIR is picking up a group of survivors moving towards one of the downed birds, there’s about half a do-” State one of the ttechs before he was cut off.<br>

Sergeant Murdoch</b><br>
The group finally managed to make it to the VTOL. Over the past couple minutes they had been able to make better progress as support shifted closer to their position. Even though she appreciated it the Sergeant wasn't too fond of what that probably meant for the prospect of there being other survivors. The Pilot broke off and quickly made a b-line for the cockpit as the two Marines dragged the Lieutenant into the back. Over the course of their quest to get to the VTOL they had picked up two more members of the Local Militia and a Delta Company Sergeant by the name of Lyons. Once the Lieutenant was set down Murdoch made her way to the door gun and started scanning the area for hostiles.<br>
<br>
<br>
“This is one of the new pattern VTOLs right? The Nokkën?” She called out to the cockpit.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Damn straight!” Came back the reply from Foe Hammer. The engines started to spool up and one of them faltered. “Son of a bitch, any one have a clue what’s fucked up back there?!”<br>
<br>
<br>
The Sergeant looked around at the other survivors , and they shook their heads. Until her eyes came to the private from Alpha company. “My Pa was an engineer… He wanted me to follow in his footsteps, I might be able to figure something out.” The man quickly started work on getting them into the air.<br>
<br>
<br>
As she looked back out to the carnage surrounding the VTOL she saw something move in the rubble. As her eyes adjusted she realized it more hostiles approaching. “Contact!”<br>
<br>
<br>
She opened fire at the nearest one and they in turn returned fire. “God damnit! These are armour piercing, right?” “Should be!”<br>
<br>
<br>
As she fired she could see that she was having some effect on the approaching enemies. As she fired she could hear the machine gun behind her opening up as well.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Dammit how much longer?!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I think I might got it! Dammit nope, fuck a couple minutes!”<br>
<br>
<br>
“We don't have a couple of minutes!”<br>
<br>
<br>
As she put down one hostile two more would get closer. “Dammit doesn't this have anything tougher?!” The Sergeant cried out to the Pilot. “She had a nose gun but it got fucked in the crash!” The pilot responded. “Try to get ahold of Leviathan on the radio! We need a strike!” “I'll try to!”<br>
<br>
<br>
While she was distracted with the pilot the hostiles managed to get even closer, now a couple of them were pushing forward ruined vehicles as mobile cover while firing. She fired on the one of the vehicles hoping there was fuel or something inside of it that might ignite. It was useless so she returned her fire to the Metal monsters. Suddenly there was a screech and ordinance from above received some of the pressure.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Leviathan says that’s her last load, she’s returning to base! We can expect air Cavalry within a couple minutes! Hold on!” The pilot reported from her position in the cockpit. The Sergeant shook her head, she was feeling dizzy. It probably wasn't a good sign. She fired yet more rounds the waves of enemies seemed endless. <i>Where the hell do these bastards keep coming from?![/b]<br>
<br>
<br>
Suddenly the engines of the VTOL flared to life. “Dammit finally!” The pilot shouted from the cockpit. “I'm lifting off. Hold on!” As the VTOL started to move the Sergeant spotted something at the edge of the clearing. Two Marines who seemed to be dragging something behind them. “Wait up!” Murdoch quickly called out when she realized there were more friendly in the field. “Two more friendlies!” Yet again the Sergeant brought her gun to bare this time in order to cover the Marines who were progressing towards her. It took them a while to drag the package to the VTOL once they got closer the Sergeant realized that the package was a fallen enemy. She put down yet another enemy when one of them managed to hit one of the new Marines.<br>
<br>
<br>
When she saw this she went into a reflex reaction and ran towards the friend who was still standing in order to assist him. “Dammit what the hell were you thinking!” She cried out at the man when she arrived to his position. “They are kicking the shit out of us, figured we might want to grab one of the suits!” The man replied. She took ahold of one of the hand bars on the chest of the suit and started dragging with the Marine. The battle field was covered in shell casings and metal enemies locked standing up despite the fact that they were dead. They made it to the VTOL and lifted the package into the VTOL. She felt a hot pain in her back and realized she had been shot. Someone dragged her into the aircraft and it took off.<br>

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">After four months of planning with General Guderian Heizenburg and Chief of the Army Richtofen, the 1st, 2nd and 4th regiment  are assigned to march on to the nearby cities and towns west, east, and south of their territories. So far small groups of survivors are found and told to report to the city of Vienna to register themselves as new civilians of "Nationalistic Austria". The regiments start to scavenge and secure the nearby territories reaching to Sopron, Bratislava ,and Steyr. However recent reports of movement east of the city of Bratislava are being sighted with men on horseback and possible armed. The first regiment in the city of Steyr begin to settle down after a weeks long march. </span></span></i></b>​</div><b><i><br>

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><b><i>Hundreds of soldiers are seen working vigilantly to set up a perimeter around the city and making camp. Lieutenant Gunther Rommel of the 1st Storm battalion, walks to a nearby three story brick building. All the windows were shattered, and a large gaping hole near the front of the roof was seen, barely exposing what appeared to be metallic objects hanging inside the building. His curiosity was filling his mind and so he quickly entered the building to find all sorts of "things". Inside it would seem that he had entered a sort of metal shop or something. But after closer inspection he realized this building was a history museum showing all the products and designs made by the Steyr company. Cars were the major attractions, eventually as he explores the building he enters a larger room with military equipment displays. Some were small field artillery, small arms, and even older weapons going as far as the 15th century. What caught his eyes were the small arms displays in the ww2 section. The guns were a mixture of German, American, and even British weapons displayed along a vast and wide wall behind a glass shield. The weapons inside seemed to still be in perfect shapes, the bullets inside obviously seemed to be made of a rubber substance or something. His eye's however were locked onto one of  the guns named "MG-42". He started to read the display description, but some of it was unreadable do to the decay. However he understood overall that the gun had struck fear into its enemies, but was known to go through a lot of ammunition very quickly. He looked around to find something to break the glass. At first he tried to smash it with the butt of his gun but with no luck. He then decided that he needed more help. He quickly ran back to his battalion and returned with several troops.</i></b></span></span><br>​</div><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><i><b>Hans: Please remind me why we were dragged in here herr leutenant?</b></i></span></span><br>

<span style="font-size: 12px">A military/vehicle museum is found containing weapons dating from ww2, luckily these weapons were not exposed to any chemicals and were either produced in the late 90's or kept really clean. Austria's ambition to expand is set in motion as they expand and settle in Sopron, Bratislava, and steyr. Around 432 people were found and settled as citizens of the new Nation of Austria. Reports of mysterious riders with weapons are sighted near the Hungarian Border line.</span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The countryside was filled with soldiers in blue uniforms dragged large barrels off carts, towards large holes in the ground. It wouldn't be long now till they were done now. Turning his head, the Colonel of the 1st Regiment caught sight of the approaching horsemen, the beast foaming at the mouth from the speed and distance it had just traveled. The rider looked nearly as ragged, and he panted for breath as he saluted the Colonel. <br>
<br>
"Sir, the enemy army has crossed the line." The Colonel nodded, turning to a horsemen waiting on the hill next to him. "Send word to the 4th Cavalry Company, they enemy has passed the staging line.  They have the green light to proceed with their task." The man nodded, quickly bringing his horse around and riding down the hill towards the nearby camp. A few minutes later, one hundred Macedonian cavalry rode out of the camp, riding into the distance, and disappearing from view. The Colonel hoped they would be successful in their task, if they weren't, the defense of Athens would become that much harder. <br>
<br>
A second approaching rider had the Colonel turning to the other side, quickly nodding as the man saluted. "Colonel, the 2nd Regiment reports construction of the barricades and palisades are complete. And the 3rd Regiment reports that all nearby civilians have been evacuated from the area. As well, all artillery posts report they are in position and ready." The Colonel nodded to the rider, who quickly wheeled about and rode back off.<br>
<br>
Turning to his men, he quickly shouted orders, urging them to work faster. When they were finally finished, he had them muster back at the camp, and began to deploy the soldiers as ordered.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">With the successful capture of the three cities to the south, east, and west. The Austrian military continues on to their next plan of capturing the cities of Wels and Linz to the west of Steyr, and expanding further into the south until reaching the small city of oberwart. The 2nd regiment marching to the south face several small bandit factions, all showed aggressive attitudes towards the troops. A report was given that one of the factions attacked the 2nd regiment at night and caused small casualties. The bandits were only equipped with knives, daggers, bows and arrows, and Molotov cocktails. However the trained and disciplined infantry men with their bolt action rifles made short of the disorganized bandits and caused significant damage. One bandit was captured and questioned for details of the location of not only his faction camp but the others. It didn't take long to convince him after promising food and possible a suitable spot in the military as a garrison trooper in the capital. Once the details were given, a small detachment of scouts from the 5th recon company of the 2nd Regiment were ordered to check out the small town of Litzeldorf, about several miles south of oberwart.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Seven scouts on horseback are seen galloping along the main road, the scouts then turn their direction to a small house. When they reach there, they immediately get off their horses and grab their equipment and start to travel on foot along the tall grass. They travel 100 meters before one of the soldiers stops and signals the others to stop. They then crouch and wait. The soldier up front pulls out a binocular and begins his surveillance. A<b><i>bout a kilometer away, several bandits can be seen guarding the entry of the town. A wooden wall is seen surrounding the town as well with sentries.</i> </b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Wolf: If only high command could have given us some scopes, I could easily pick them off like sheep in a pen.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">One of the soldiers behind him creeps up and stops beside him and requests for the binoculars.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Kolbert: They seem to be on high alert...Take a look at that sentry tower to the left of the gate.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Wolf  receives the binoculars and looks to the location that Kolbert directed him to. In the sentry tower a man can be seen with what appears to be some kind of man made ballista.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Wolf: Isn't that cute (He begins to pull out a map and write down details, looking back and forth at the bandit fort and the map). Alright were gonna need to report back to High command. Were gonna need the mortar team and probably several platoons.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Kolbert: No.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Wolf looks confused and so do the other troops.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: 12px">Wolf: What do you mean "no"? We've been given orders to scout them out and bring an end to these arrogant fools!</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Kolbert directs Wolf's eye's beyond the gate, as Wolf looks into his binocular's he notices that there was bustling of people. Women and children and other men, laughing and bustling with life.<br>
Kolbert: Do not fight a battle if you don't gain anything from winning.....</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Wolf is quiet, obviously disturbed at what could've happened if they had just started mortaring the city. He nods and leads the recon team back to the horses to report their founding's and suggest a alternative.<br>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 22px">Vienna</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Loud clanging sounds of beating iron and fire is heard within the bustling weapons factory. Workers are seen to be diligently working hard to create the steel parts of the bolt action rifles, yet only 12 rifles can be made per day do to the lack of resources and skilled workers. However in the backroom gun shots can be heard. A tall skinny old man named ricktofen is seen enjoying the new weapons that he has received from the museum of Steyr. Holding in his hand was the Kar98, which is seen to have some refinance of smoke coming from the barrel.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Ricktofen: THIS WEAPON IS REVOLUTIONARY!? With the right bl-*Burp* ueprints we can immediately switch our standard rifles with these ones! Not only that but these other ones can also turn the table against any of our foes! If we can just get a better conditioned factory that's capable of building larger vehicles and creating those things called "Tanks" we can definitely speed the process of our expansion!</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Across the room sitting on a counter was Major General Daulbergusch, he was in charge of the logistics administration and making sure that production efficienty was at reasonable rates or could be improved. He nods in reply.<br>
Dalubergusch: Yes, yes, you are right herr doctor. But you must understand that we can't immedietly start switching our production lines to these weapons yet, not until we can establish more resources and such. We simply also don't have the manpower to spare, the Fuhrer has been mostly been spending on infastructure projects and the rebuilding of Vienna for some time now. But within 8 months you should be able to produce these weapons. That is if you can reverse engineer these weapons.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Ricktofen: Do you take me as an idiot Major, I have you know they don't call me "Ricker the builder" for nothing. This'll probably be done within a month or two depending if I can get my hands on the materials I need.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Dalubergusch: Of course, I'll make sure that you are given the resources you need till you can sketch out the parts and such....Anyways I must be going, there is a scheduled meeting in parliament.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 12px">Ricktofen: Uhuuuuuh sure, tell the old geezers I said hi.....Oh one more thing if you find jurgen tell him that ima kick his ass if he doesn't return my heat gun!  It's been ten days and I need that to build my plastic model for my new proposed car idea.<br>
</span></span><br>
<span style="font-size: 12px"><br>
</span><br>
Summary:<br>
A bandit town is found and proposals to convince the town to join is being made. Several more towns are taken, and the process of reverse engineering the weapons retrieved from Vienna will take more then 1-2 months to figure out the layout of the parts. Also Rick is pissed and wants his heat gun back, he is later found drunk in the city bar yelling about how the Italians caused it all.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)"><span style="font-size: 26px">Il Pantheon, Roma</span></span></span>​</div><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: #ff0000">Marcus Tullius Bellatus, son and father of the great city of Neapolis, before he meant to depart from Roma, was wanting to go see the Pantheon and give his respects to the Gods. It was late at night when he had arrived in the great monument, alone he step into the Pantheon, he began to pray to the gods and as he did so he began to take ill. Sweating he still kneel within the center of the room, Moon light splashed into the domed structure illuminating Tullius, he stared into the the hazy glow of it's light, it had given him warmth, peace... and from the beam of the moon's beauty that shone into the Pantheon a beautiful woman had appeared, an angel, as she descended upon his weak frail body a spear manifested it's self in her hands a great and mighty spear. The spear was more blinding than she, in both radiance and beauty, in one swift move the head of the spear carved a large "t" into his chest and pierced his heart. As he lay bleeding his blood creating a pattern in the moon lit stone, he felt himself getting warmer, the air around him suddenly ablaze. The angel void of the spear had bent over to whisper into his ear, "</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)">Dio ti, ma una possibilità in più nella vita ha dotato, lo servono, pascere il suo popolo, e condurli nel suo grande mondo nuovo." he, desperate and at her mercy agreed "Sì, signora, tutto ciò che si vorrebbe che facessi Sarò lieto di farlo."<br>
"no, non servirmi, ma servono a mio padre, tuo padre... dio." she spoke to him a hushed tone, in a way intoxicating and viperous, but sweet and understanding.</span><br>
<span style="color: #ff0000">Feeling the life flow out of him Tullius weakly spoke "</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)">Sì, signora, sì il padre, ma io sono il tuo servo per la giustizia, l'ordine e la legge. Creerò vostra terra e portare molti a esso."</span><br>
<span style="color: #ff0000">When he spoke those words the blood flowed faster, but not out of his body instead it had gone back into it, his wound was sealed, as it came to a close a red hot cross was burned into his breast by a force unknown, but known now to him as padre. after being branded he heard another voice it was not the angels, no it was more soothing and wrathful at the same time "</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)">Lasciate che questa ferita vi ricorda il vostro dovere per me e la mia gente Tullio. La prima avrei di voi è di cambiare il proprio nome a quello di uno dei miei servitori di antiche: Lorenzo de' Medici. Per voi piace lo controllerà grande ricchezza e tenere grande titolo, mentre serve a me. In secondo luogo è necessario cercare una moglie, una moglie cristiana, quello che cercate risiede a Milano, lei ti aspetta lì. È necessario sposare questa donna per servirmi e le generazioni dopo aver superato. In terzo luogo, il mio bambino, è è necessario ripristinare il papato, diventato il leader del mio grande religione, diventato il pastore."<br>
"sì, oh grande padre." and with that Tullius was Tullius no longer he had shed his old self and became who god had wanted him to become: Lorenzo de' Medici. Reborn, Lorenzo set out upon his quest, the one that was given to him by God. Instead of returning to Corsica Lorenzo sent an advisor to see to the cature of the rest of the Isle. He was headed towards the Future towards a new goal, Towards Milan to find a wife.<br>
</span></span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 26px"><span style="color: #ff0000">Corsica, Mediterranea</span></span></span>​</div><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: #ff0000">With Lorenzo gone from the battlefield Legio I slowly made it's way across the isle, they did so with great ease but the Army was still slow out of a great caution, eventually they made their way to the Largest settlement on the Isle: Ajaccio, with many people there it would be harder than taking the rest of the island but there were no trained soldiers, no great pre war technology. The siege of the city was fast, it took only a few days before it fell to the Romans. There was no great struggle to take the city, many people surrendered only a minute minority fought and they were quickly dispatched by the trained legionaries who we no match for the farmers and fisherman who had come to fight. Lorenzo now governed the isle under Rome as it was his conquest and his victory. The Isle was to make a great hub for trading in the western half of Southern Europa, thus plans to create a large port for trade and commerce.<br>
</span></span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 26px"><span style="color: #ff0000">Milano</span></span></span>​</div><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: #ff0000">Upon his arrival in Milan, Lorenzo de' Medici sought out the Ruler, he was to find a good Christian bride, one that God had told Lorenzo was his own. He knew that by the Grace of God he would know the fair woman when he would lay his eyes upon her, a loyal and obedient wife was awaiting him some where within the great city. When he was able he had made contact with the Leader of Milan upon this inquiry that he so had. "Pardon me, Signore Sforza, I have come to your great city once more under the grace of God. I am hear for a bride one promised to me by God himself, I seek a pious and loyal woman of great faith and beauty. I would ask if you know of any such women that are not taken... that I may call mine." <br>

<span style="font-family: 'verdana'"><span style="font-size: 22px"><span style="color: #ffff4d">THE NEW KHANATE</span></span></span></u></b><br>
<br>​</div>In the Capitol of Bucharest, Kublai Khan sat upon the stage, with thousands of people watching, cheering. He raised his hand, and they silenced. Behind him sat the Council, and to his right sat Subotai, the head of the Military.<br>
<br>
(translated from Mongolian)<br>
<br>
"Citizens of the Khanate, God itself is with us. From the dawn of the War, no greater civilization has existed than the Mother Country, Mongolia, and they blessed us with the gift of Peace, but it shall not last. Today, the Khanate shall expand, and bless Europe with Order and Freedom. All Hail the Khanate!"<br>
<br>
The speech went on for an hour, with cheers to the great Kublai Khan throughout.<br>
<br>
<i>Elsewhere...</i><br>
<br>
Khanate MG trucks and 1,000 stormed out the walls of Bucharest, and past the in-progress Hydroelectric plant on the Danube. They finally reached Ploiesti, and stormed the city, taking it with minor losses.<br>
<br>
From the other side of the city, 1,000 Khanate troops took Constanta, but with more losses. The Northern part of the city was taken first, with the "Spitatul" Hospitals being temporary Bases of Operations, until the Dolphin Showplace by the Peir was taken, and Khanate soldiers stormed from it. The major scuffle was at the "VIVO! Constanta", a popular shopping mall, where 30 Khanate Soldiers were injured, and 7 killed, but a MG truck and Soldier firing squad rolling in from the back and a Khanate charge into the mall proved deadly for the defenders. Overall for the Khanate, 30 Soldiers were lost, and 40 injured, with 10 injured when an old sewer collapsed, causing them to fall 10 feet down into a thankfully dry sewer.<br>
<br>
The Khanate has started an immediate work to create supply lines and to fix up the old cities, focusing on housing districts, and turning the Aquarium into a Lab to study more effective forms of Armor for the Khanate...</div>

None of them spoke Russian and so they merely smiled. After a brief silence one said in Swedish "Do you speak Swedish" he then nudged another who said "Do you speak... er.. Eng.. English" in the language of English. The motioned back and in both Swedish and English said "We come seeking friends?" hoping they would not be killed and could begin a parlay. They had not expected to meet Russians and were looking to meet with the baltic states, perhaps some polish or northern Germans.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, the Prince sent soldiers off to scout Södertälje and see what resistance he would face were he to march an army in. It was vital that Sweden rise. But it was more vital they do so swiftly and with few losses. His mother brought the monarchy back and he would bring back its kingdom. No more were they merely hiding in luxury. He was part of the struggle. He knew he would need a strong navy to acheive this so he sent more men to scour the coast looking for boats and ships and anything that would float. He then ordered his greatest engineers to try and understand the magic of making metal float and how to create such crafts that could do so.</div>

<br>
The other Horde marched towards Craiova, only to see that a so-called "People's Republic of Craiova" and the "Craiovan Order" were at war over the city, two city sides fighting hard, mainly with sword and spear, no match for the Khanate's Horde. Although one of the MG trucks suffered a broken window from a sling-shot rock, it was quickly replaced and the slinger shot down. The city was quickly taken down with 30 losses.<br>
<br>
Both cities' Housing districts and surrounding farmland was immediately starting to be re-built.<br>
<br>
<i>Other Things....<br>

A single Khanate truck, with the MG still on, and packed with valuable Petrol, Water, and Food, rode East, towards a place once called Italy. It was a long drive, but eventually the Khanate Diplomat thought he saw lights from a city in the distance...<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>HMCS Pralin<br>
<br>
11:00 Hours<br>
<br>
Medical Deck<br>
<br>
Captain Harold Nastda</b><br>
<br>
The room smelled like a hospital, well of course it did it was a hospital after all. White walls, white sheets, white curtains around his little section. Everything seemed white to him, who even thought white was a good colour for hospitals anyway? He stared at the florescent lights dotting the ceiling. At least the ceiling wasn't white, that was the same depressing gun metal grey as the rest of the ship. <i>I wonder why grey? Why not blue, or a beige, I could see it now. Beige and white down the corridors a monitor every little while to access a main computer, constant humming. Crew members here and there… Maybe a new adventure every week… Unrelated I wonder how the Captain would be if he was bald…</i><br>
<br>
<br>
“Captain? Are you ready for your exercise session?” A younger female voice said from the entrance to his little hidey hole amongst the others. The nurse was barely sixteen years old, probably one of her first real assignments. Aboard the ship children began doing basic tasks at ten or eleven along with regular school. These tasks usually were menial labour, cleaning, changing lights, organization. When they reached sixteen years of age they would get their first real job, usually leading into a career. The man laid back and thought back to his, he was a VTOL technician, he had hoped to become a pilot when the Marauder Corps scooped him up. <i>Dammit I'm old… that was almost twenty-five years ago now… Shit…</i><br>
<br>
<br>
“Captain?” That was something he just couldn't get used to, being a Captain. It just felt weird. After Narvik he was promoted, though he tried to refuse the promotion. “Yes? What is it?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Are you ready for your exercise session?” The young blonde nurse said with a pout. It was no big surprise that she was probably getting frustrated. Captain Nastda had been drifting off into thought alot lately. <i>God dammit if I haven't earned at least some thinking time I'm quitting!</i><br>
<br>
<br>
“Ah, yes…” He swung his legs over the side of the bed, the right one of them ended just below the knee. He was lucky the doctor had told him, with the way he lost it. It probably should've taken the bottom part of the joint with it. They suspected that it had most likely of already been partially cut through when whatever it was tossed him across the fucking street. They had managed to fit him with a prosthetic leg and even though it was still pretty clunky, it was apparently better than most. Pushing himself off of the bed he stood up. Standing was still very awkward and he needed to find his new balance, hence the impending exercise session.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Alright where are we headed?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I was thinking we could take a stroll topside, if you're up to it?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I think I just might miss these lovely white… well, everything.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Captain, sarcasm isn't a very good trait.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“It's not sarcasm, it's my own mind trying to stop myself from thinking about that cluster fuck in Narvik.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Maybe you need to do more thinking about it, face your fears head on.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Sounds like something my D.I would've said, it's just… we thought we were the best! Then we get our asses handed to us so badly.”<br>
<br>
<br>
The two of them started walking through the infirmary, passing the other patients was almost as painful as losing his leg. He hated seeing his men in that kind of condition, any Marine in that condition. Who ever had done this to them obviously didn't card about friendship or even common decency. He was enraged by the thought and then an ice cold realization slipped over him. The Marauder Corps had been doing the same shit to small bandit gangs for months. Probably was just that God decided that they needed to taste their own medicine, and dammit it was bitter.<br>
<br>
<br>
“They had the element of surprise, even the best can fall into a trap they don't even know to watch out for.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Also something my D.I would of said. You wouldn't of happened to of met him now would you of? Ms?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Price, Stephanie Price and possibly. Would he of happened to if been an old man with a bad beard?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Sounds like him, though I don't think he was that old.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Probably was my Dad, he’s a Captain now same as you.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Not the same as me, I got this promotion because the brass decided to give a reward to someone. Not like I contributed much, I was passed out for most of the fight.” The two of them were now walking down on of the Pralin’s many unremarkable halls, grey colour everywhere, pipes, lights, reinforcement every few feet. It was all excessively mundane to him.<br>
<br>
<br>
“You know as your nurse I got to sneak a peek at you file.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Isn't it assistant nurse?” He gave her one of those ‘you should know better but I can't be angry because I would of done the exact same’ looks.<br>
<br>
<br>
“It's not like there is any classified information in there.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“True enough. But still you should know better.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I wanted to know about you, given the fact that I'm supposed to be working directly with you.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“If you wanted to know something you could of asked.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Alright then, why did you refuse that promotion?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Except that.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Why are you being so defensive?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“So you want to become a doctor?” He asked trying to shift the question from himself.<br>
<br>
<br>
“No, and you keep dodging the question. How about this, you anwser my question I'll answer yours.”<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>Dammit, she's quicker than you’d assume from her demeanor.</i> “I didn't want to leave my company in the hands of someone else “<br>
<br>
<br>
“Despite that you would of picked your successor? “<br>
<br>
<br>
“Uh no, that's two questions.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Observant…”<br>
<br>
<br>
“That’s what's kept me alive, that and more luck than I should be entitled to.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I wanted to become a marine, preferably a sapper with one of the prime force regiment’s companies. Or maybe a diver with I-Company.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“I-Company? They do nothing but stand around all day, infact I think the only time they were deployed was shortly after the war.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Think it would be an interesting experience, and that was two questions.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“So back to my previous one, even if you could pick your successor?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“At that point none of the Sergeants seemed that reliable, there was a promising young Corporal but she had just made Corporal so she wasn’t an option.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Who was she?”<br>
<br>
<br>
He raised his eyebrow at the young woman without saying anything.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Alright alright, I-Company because it would be an interesting environment to work in, that an no one else is really doing it.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“So in other words to be unique?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes, I guess… I've always been an outlier.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Alright then, I'll answer you now.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Sgt. Murdoch, well Lt. Murdoch now. She was one of the few survivors from Narvik. Helped capture one of those damned Armour suits. She's in the ICU now, was shot in the back, bullet went through her heart.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“That's a shame to hear, at least we’re getting more Marines now, and apparently there’s a new weapon being deployed now.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Where the hell did you hear about that?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Dad. Fuck, I wish I could be included in this new wave… I want to get back at the bastards…”<br>
<br>
<br>
“How old are you?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“16, two years too young.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“That's a shame.”<br>
<br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The Duke, Marcus Sforza Fucina as his Latin name went, greeted the newly christened Medici. "You will find that my daughter, Fiore, is quite a gem. She is beautiful and trained in running a household and diplomacy as was standard with our former customs. You may have her hand in marriage if you provide a suitable dowry." The Duke stood up from his throne then, and two of his guards rushed up to his side to escort him. He walked over to a table and took a clay pot with a handle, pouring from it wine into a clay cup. He took a sip and turned to the Medici. "I await your answ-" He paused and began to cough. He paused for a moment and went to speak but began coughing again. His face started to turn purple and one of the courtiers screamed, "Someone! Fetch a medico!" He began to scratch at his throat, trying to breathe. His breathing, once calm and strong, was now like trying to suck up a lake through a straw. He fell to his knees, his face turning to a ghastly purple. Then he breathed one last weak breath and died.<br>
<br>
Stepping from the shadows, the Duke's son and heir, now the Duke, smirked to himself, if only momentarily. Then the mask of courtesy returned to his face and he rushed to his father's side. It had all gone to plan. Now his weak father was no longer in control. Milan's dominance would be renewed once more. Shoving past a Genoese representative, he knelt by his father's side and checked for a pulse. Long gone. He mouthed to himself, <i>'Forza regna ancora una volta.' </i>His first order of business was to deal with this Neapolitan.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"Signore," He bowed, "I assure you that I am well able to produce a dowry, I would ask what it is you want for Fiore?" He stood his back erect it was a sure sign of his Military service and his obvious confidence. He had a certain swagger about him that was not cocky in nature but showed that he was used to being in power. This move would give him a proper connection to a bloodline, as well as an alliance with the Sforza family, another reason his position within Italy would be strengthened. He was willing to pay quite a bit but not too much, negotiations were vital to this arrangement and who his future would unfold, then he thought, if she were ugly he would have the basis to pay for less... in a risky move he asked "I would also like to see Fiore, as to make sure that she is the woman for me, and physically fit." either way would be a win win, he was neutral towards what she would look like he had no idea, but if she were ugly and unwell he would pay substantially less for her.<br>
