The Great Storehouse

[Mergerberger II]

Prague Research Facility

50 miles outside of Prague

500 feet below ground

22:09

Michael Saviri, Nikola Romanov, and Ty Eyvindsson have known about this for quite some time. They have come to the great research facility outside Prague, a location below which there hides so many dark secrets, as well as old technology of a state destroyed by those who feared it. Technology so advanced and powerful, that the last man to use it was considered both the most powerful and the most dangerous man in the world, a man who in his last days sent the technology to be destroyed, and to be buried where none would ever find it, except for those who knew where it was...

They had stood in an elevator for nearly fifteen minutes, going down in complete darkness. The elevator was completely hidden, so much so that Romanov and Saviri had nearly forgotten where it was, and unfortunately Eyvindsson had never been in this area before, and had not participated in the original storage of this equipment and technology, and really had no ideal whatsoever what he was doing. All that he remembered was the code to open the next door.

Finally, the rusty elevator came to a bumpy stop, and Saviri entered a code and placed his hand on a scanner hidden in the rock, and the door opened in front of them. Romanov turned to his right upon entering the doorway, moved to a corner, wherein he placed his face into a slot completely hidden in the dark, and the lights came on, giving life to a completely metallic room armed with more deadly weaponry than the Molakian army. The hallway was very, very long.

"Yes, I remember this. The mile-long hallway. At the end there are two doors, one leads to another series of locks and doors, and eventually to what we're searching for, and the other is a door that leads to a completely different place. A very long and winding tunnel that ends up below the Reichstag in Berlin. We don't want to go down there, obviously. Ty, which door is it?" states Saviri.

"I do recall that it was the door.... on the right, I... I think..."

They continued down the long hallway in relative silence.

[Malatose]

Saviri walked ahead of the group. Obviously, he was the most curious one, as he looked at the walls of the great facility. On the walls were hundreds of draped flags, most belonging to the old Greater German Reich and Greater Nordic Reich. Along with the draped flags were various text, written in the old nordic rune language. It was a sight to see.

Saviri stopped and looked around, removing his shades.

"What is this place? How did you know it was here? It's simply amazing. It's like an..underground vault."

He walked forward, slowly, reading the Nordic Runes on the wall..

"Greater is Europe. Even Greater is Nordland" one inscription on the wall said.

He walked forward, leaning against the wall. Suddenly, the entire hallway lit up, revealing a single door with a lone console next to it. Above the door hung the picture of a familiar man. Saviri was suddenly caught with emotion and he kneeled his head and bowed to one knee.

"Only you..only you would have created such a place" Saviri whispered to himself.

The portrait was that of Scolar Visari.

Ty Eyvindsson gave a sigh of relief, knowing he had chosen the correct door. In all honesty he had forgotten which door it was, it had been so long since the radio transmissions from the Greater German Empire had been received. While the door had just been a guess, the codes were still etched into his mind, fresh as the day the secrets from a dying nation had crawled to him.

He walked with Romanov down the hallway, watching Saviri gaze at all the tapestries and kneel in front of the portrait of Scolari. Ty gave a grin as he muttered something about betting Saviri would one day become greater than his father. We shall see… Ty thought as he walked up to the lone door at the end of this hallway. He saw the console, a simple ten digit keypad covered in cobwebs.

6-6-3-3-8-7-6-7-2

Ty pressed each number on the keypad firmly and when he finished pressing two, the three men heard a clicking noise and the ancient door swung open. They walked down three more sets of hallways, each with an increasingly difficult code, until at last they came to a fifteen foot tall gold ornate door, the flag of Nordland embedded in the ancient mahogany. A small computer stood beside it, and Ty walked up to it.

“The struggle that survives even my death:” was all that was displayed on the screen. Ty instinctively reached down to the keyboard and typed the response.

OneUnitedEurope

The door swung open.

And as it opened, the lights behind them came on. All down the long hallway, overhead lights came on, lighting up all of the flags and banners, each with its own dedicated light. The ceiling was even higher than they had originally believed, they could barely see the top of it. The door led into a massive darkness, only the entryway was illuminated, and only partially, by the lights that had come on behind them.

"This is the room..." said Romanov shakily.

He ran his hand along the wall just inside to the right, and instead of a great lock or code, there was merely a switch. He ran his hand over it, and moved it upwards into the on position. And once he did, the lights overhead came on. The ceiling in here was even higher, probably two football fields high, and yet they knew that the top of it was over 200 feet below the ground.

The lights came on and illuminated a treasure greater than any that they ever could have imagined. There was a main central walkway, down a ramp and a carpet. It was like something from Arabian Nights. To their right was gold, money, and treasures from all over the world. All the wealth of Nordland had been stored down here. To their left was a thousand square yards of books, scrolls, and blueprints of various Nordlandic things. They continued walking, and at the end of the carpet, when it moved off to the right and to the left, there was what they had been looking for.

A massive amount of military technology, the most advanced the world had ever seen. A thousand tanks lined up in formation, military armor, rifles, pistols, grenades, fighters, bombers, everything from ammunition to transport and supply vehicles. It was truly astounding, and a grand sight to behold.

[Malatose]

Saviri looked in amazement at all the gathered wealth and equipment. It truly was a sight to behind, looking at all the assorted computers and various artworks.

"There are two storehouses? I had always heard there was one..but two?" Saviri outloud as he looked in amazement.

He moved forward, looking at all the equipment laid in crates.

"What is this place? It's like some kind of..cultural or technological vault"

He moved forward, looking at one of the many parked tanks. He slowly climbed on top of it, inspecting it's every detail.

"heh, guys, from the various nordic scriptures, this appears to be the technology of the old Greater German Reich, the Empire that Visari led to power. We all know how much he spend on technological development. This stuff is simply years ahead of it's time. We really should copy these blueprints or atleast find a way to transmit them to our central database, this stuff is simply amazing."

He jumped down from the tank and walked towards a lone console against the wall. He then began to transmit all the data to the Commonwealth defense network computers.

OOC: Hey, where did you all RP this before? Because, you know, it would be a massive godmod to say you instantly have all this without any prior RP, especially considering you are doing this right when you are about to fight a war. I could be wrong, but this whole thing reads like a reason to get away with having only sparsely RPed military tech, and are pulling a reason out of your collective bottoms to have better tech that you can't really have for IG reasons. Especially for Malatose who has a new nation, and couldn't have had time to build any military yet.

OOC: It RP'd it awhile ago with Ty. Before Visari went on his rage missile shoot, he transmitted alot of technology to computers etc to preserve Nordic traditions. It's mostly the stuff I used when I was Germany. I am not even involved in this RP technically, just my character of Michael Savari, who is the Minister of Defense in the Commonwealth. Dalmatia won't be getting this, atleast I don't think. Either way, if they did get the blueprints, they could easily build it.

OOC: Can I see some links?

[Lavo]

OOC: As long as the new users of the old Nordic technology have a high enough tech level to use it, I have no problem with this. Nice job on the RP too.

[Uberstein]

OOC: I refuse to recognize this RP until I see proof that they RPed it. GM ruling or not.

OOC: Either way, Grøenlandia has the blueprints. That's all they need to build these things.

[Shadowsage]

OOC: With what technology? He has 1800, that's not nearly enough for anything LIKE Nordland's old stuff. Sorry, but no dice. If you managed to shanghai Lavo, or someone of his tech-level then maybe. But as it is, there is just no way this flies.

[Malatose]

OOC: One post, saying that some computer centers are transmitting data. Not hardware. Data.

In underground bunkers, thousands of computer centers were busy transmitting important data on encrypted data logs. This date contained all known weapon technology of the Reich. It would be transmitted to Groenlandia.

OOC: The computers sent encrypted data logs containing all known weapons technology used. Obviously, those were blueprints. Anyway, like Drake sad, Ty and BR still use the tech, so it can be easily obtained.

OOC: Heyyy buddy, it's okay, really, you can calm down at any time now, there's no need to get angry.

As for my point, firstly Dalmatia isn't going to use the stuff that we get. He's going to use downgraded versions if anything. He is simply RP'ing his character through this, because his character is one of only a few remaining with ties to the old Nordland. My character is there because my old leader, Alexander Murphy, gave him the information. Ty's character is there because he was there when Nordland was around, and knows the information.

Secondly, complaining that 'it was only one post and doesn't count' is just !@#$%^&*. One post happenings occur all the time, and there is no rule against it, and your complaints have no validity or basis in fact. If one post things didn't happen because they were one post, then I suppose no news stories ever happened, and the one post that voodoo made the other day never happened, because it was one post.

Last, even if your argument on this was somehow valid, BR still uses Nordland's tech, so we could still find it, and if that happened, well then we had a good RP.

So is that okay, Shadowsagey?

Alright then. So, if one post counts as an entire RP that will undoubtedly let you godmod through a war is okay, what's to stop me, on the eve of say, you declaring war, building a giant, reinforced concrete, super dome that will deflect any incoming attack? You never RPed this. Not a single bit. There was no bunker built, no hardware stored, no nothing done at all. If this was all blueprints through Ty's nation, there would be no problem, but you had to god mod. One post things aren't necessarily non-existent, but when you pull !@#$ like this, you NEED RP to back it up.

The fact Lavo even Okayed this makes me think we need to get him off GM status. If we're going to let this sort of crap pass for real RP, you can expect my letter of resignation from CNRP very soon.

Last, even if your argument on this was somehow valid, BR still uses Nordland's tech, so we could still find it, and if that happened, well then we had a good RP.

So is that okay, Shadowsagey?

Once again, if this was through Ty, or Brian Reimer, this would be an argument about the tech restrictions, and only that. But no, you had to godmod, and now you have to deal with the !@#$storm that goes along with it.

OOC: I'm staying out of this for the most part, I found this very childish. A GM makes a ruling that you don't like and he's automatically a bad GM? All he said is you need the right tech level for German tech. I don't think that's exactly unfair.

OOC: I find it interesting how you're always complaining, without any real substance. Indeed, there were a couple units down in the storage, but you could only classify those as "proof-of-concept" models at best. Designs that are capable of working, but only down there to prove the concept. How else do you think the allies were able to replicate the German rocket technology so quickly. They not only had blueprints, they not only had the scientist, but wait wait wait...they had.."proof-of-concept" models. It's an amazing thing isn't it? Now, I'm finished explaining that to you.

Now. Number Two. You come into the topic complaining (as usual) when you don't even know how we were going to roleplay the construction of this technology. You automatically assume that we're going to mass produce it (which is possible for Merger/BR btw) throw it on the frontlines and watch the fireworks fly. Although that is the simple-minded way of doing these, let me remind you we are far above that level. How do you know we weren't going to RP issues with development? After all the Nordic factories have been lost since the collapse of the greatest entity Europe has ever seen.

Number Three. Now, the technology I developed at Greater Germany, which was eventually carried over to the Greater Nordic Reich is very scalable. After all, I made most of it according to the tech scale at the time. So a lot of the components could easily be considered modern, while a lot of the other technology, mostly the airforce stuff would be considered PMT. For example, the only thing advanced on the Panzer VII would be the armour that is mostly modern armour compositions. The Xenias HE-101 Combat Suit? Basic anti-ballistics used. A Self Propelled Howitzer? I never knew that needed super technological levels, my apologies on that. Honestly, if you only understand simply terms and nothing detailed about technology, then I suggest you don't say anything at all. I would also suggest sitting down and reading a couple books, most could be found in areas suitable for high school chemistry, aeronautics etc. Also, if you're going to complain about cost, remember, we don't RP cost in CNRP.

OOC: I'm going to keep this short. My problem isn't with the fact that the technology exists, you are sticking those words in my mouth. My problem is how you are getting away with one post backing up every bit of the old Nordland tech, and getting it back now. The RP behind it is crap, you can get the blueprints, but not the physical manifestation of it. I would like it if you stopped trying to stuff words in my mouth. Also, note that I wouldn't complain f it weren't for the massive godmods you seem to pump out at every chance.

Also, you spelled chemistry, and 'a lot ' wrong, and front lines is two words, not one. I suggest you sit down and read some books about sixth grade spelling. It could really help you out.

I'm done with this thread.

You're repeating the same tired arguments, godmodding like a madman, and plugging your ears and yelling whenever anyone points out the problems with your very flawed logic.
