Maelstrom Vortex

The Chairman sends his regards.. as is well known, he is to ill to attend. A fruit basket from the Dragon Empire has been sent for consumption at the party.

"This is Sea Serpent. What type of cargo change are you looking to do?"

"I think there is little we can do besides keep you under guard until this 'white tiger' has made itself known. Any suspicions on who it may be? Who was this person you were speaking of?"

At customs the men would be searched for contraband. Their visas verified to ensure they were documented aliens. They would be asked for identification.

"Nothing is ever as it seems on the world stage any more. People come and go.. you never know who might still be out there.. lurking in some foxhole half a world away hiding in some personally made hell. There's a lot of potential for just about anyone to still be alive."

"Isn't the white tiger the symbol on your state flag?" He would inquire. "That may give you more of an idea of their goals? Perhaps someone related to your government?"

"Alright Megan, come on in." She welcomed the guest and closed the door. "Mael is eating chicken noodle soup next to the fireplace and watching Looney Toons. Your visit should cheer him up a bit." And indeed, the Chairman was watching Sylvester the putty-tat taking it over the head with a mallet from the adorable tweety bird about the time Megan came to rest next to him in a recliner. "You're here.. this early in the morning. It does not bode well. What's on your mind, Megan?" Maelstrom would inquire.

This has in fact already happened, and was actually taking place at the very same time Chairman Biao submitted his request, but we're still ordering a small quantity for scientific study. Rebylvirgine is contraband in Dragon Empire.

The statement issued only pertains to any refugees entering Dragon Empire waters, the 25 NM boundary around Tasmania and associated Australian Territories and Vanuatu. It is only here that refugees would be turned away or allowed to be picked up by anyone. We are simply controlling our borders, no more and no less. If anyone wishes to pick up DKT in these zones to help with their relocation to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in our backyard, you are more than welcome to do so. At this time we're not even sure the Coast Guard has in fact isolated any DKT refugee barges in the national waters as of yet, we are stating our actions pro-actively to prevent any global confusion.

Koudoa greeted Megan at the door, "Ms. Fox, it's a pleasure. What brings you here at this late hour?"

The Dragon Empire has been detaining any DKT boats that stray into its sovereign waters with coast-guard cutters. They are warned to stay where they're at and they will be inspected by the proper authorities. Then a message was sent to the newest naval guests of the Dragon Empire.. the Neo Japanese Fleet.

This makes Defunct the old ODP inherited by the Dragon Empire with the acquisition of the Cholan Empire state.

"Good to know that Milcom is already on the ball. See you're taking your new role in stride Vasili, this is good. Keep up the good work."

"We apologize for the fact this upsets Rockport, but recognize the discontinuation of the treaty."

I strongly agree for the need of IC/OOC separate forum with a topic generate for each as necessary per thread. Example: IC War in George/OOC War in Georgia.

"Your application is accepted." A few hours later aid shipments begin to unload in the New Taiwanese Empire, including first responders. Their priority 1 Goal is to get the biological and chemical weapons attack contained, diagnosed and to labs for processing and curing. A strict quarantine of afflicted persons was put into effect as 50,000 guard soldiers arrive in the sealed-up Sea-Tyrant tanks to aid in the process and help secure order. Food and water rations are also brought ashore. Scientists in HAZMAT suits arrive in order to begin inspecting the area and begin to assess how best to start getting the region back on its feet again. A Spec Ops team lands outside of Nebu's Bunker to evacuate the stressed government officials to a designated safe-area for decontamination and inspection on the surface of the Tasmanian island.

"We welcome our Pacifican Brothers into Unifying cooperation. Of like mind and like accord we shall stride forward renewed and invigorated in our unity of strength and purpose. Our peoples will flourish.. our economies will surge. We welcome all Neo Olympians as full citizens of the Dragon Empire. There are none more worthy."

"Chairmain Leclerc, He personally participated in the fall out clean up from a rogue nuclear incident this past July. He put his own safety aside and may have been responsible for saving many lives in the process of those who managed to seek shelter from the blast or need supplies. He was exposed to at least what would be considered to some a life-dose or terminal level of radiation and his body is in a state of degrade. Cancer consumes him and he is susceptible to disease. We have treated what we can. To stave off the decay of his tissues we have been introducing chameleon dna into select tissues and been using some stem cells that we have been stimulating into different roles in order to repair other areas. Our best doctors and scientists treating him, including myself, have given him only 5 years to live at the most with our best efforts." He sighed. "The man has done so much for our country.. even now he continues to help unify others in peace under his banners.. we only hope we can do the same for him as he has done for us."

Maelstrom tapped his jaw and eyed this treaty closely, "This looks.. so familiar.."

"Thank you, Mr. Price." He walked in and to the desk across from which were his peers from another land, "Greetings, Doctor Generosa.. Professor Leclerc. I am Doctor Gregory Karnell. I come here in a spirit of friendship from my nation. I am of the understanding you are willing to help us with our humanitarian mission to try to save the life of the Chairman of our nation. Given that.. we would like to let you in on a little secret.. and to see what you think of it." He punched up the Genesis Imaging System on his computer screen and turned it around to face them, on the same screens he had available in the car. "This is our goal. I've even worked out some possibilities on how it may be achieved. Although you may know more. What are your thoughts?"

"No one will ever be entirely secure without imprisoning themselves." The Doctor would was philosophically as he was escorted inside after closing up his laptop and briefcase. He had waited to close it until the last minute.. showing his fixation with his work. He let Price lead him wherever they may be destined. "So who will I be speaking to first?"

The Doctor sat in the car and spoke to Price, "Pleasure meeting you, Mr. Price. I've not got a lot in the way of questions for you unless you're extremely well studied in genetics. I have more questions than I can possibly list in mind for the scientists and doctors of this nation as well as a proposal in my briefcase for a joint experiment that may garner their interest, as well as mine, for a very.. very long time. I am the leader of a project known in the Dragon Impire as the "Image of God". I know Saboria's not a very religious nation, but I'm sure they're probably aware of to what it alludes. The creation story of Genesis. To make a long story short, the Empire's people are seeking mastery over themselves.. instead of the world around them.. as many nations are. We seek a different path in our technology, a path of internal or self-exploration as the universe within us is so much more important than the universe without ever shall be. We basically want to be able to make ourselves into whatever we should need to be.. and the Chairman has a very specific idea in mind. To get you an idea..." He flips open his briefcase, then the laptop that sat inside. "This software was partly developed in Rockport, the Operating system comes from Triyun. You could say I love to travel." After a few minutes of navigating applications, the doctor had brought up a screen which on one side showed a 30 chromosome pair structure. In a small sidebar was a list of potential gene pairings. The image on the left showed what appeared to be a man that was still at least half human, but had many peculiar aspects. It had the dental plan and jaw structure of a great white shark. The iris was slitted and cat-like. There were small pits along the nose. The tongue structure was faintly modified and appeared slicker.. stickier. The skin of the entity was of a dense scale strucutre that was a deep green, but changed color also over time. On the far left in another bar.. was a "pre-programmed feature's list". In the list were electric eel-bioshock, human photosynthesis, eagle optics, cat night sight.. and others. The overall entity looked somewhere between man and lizard with sharp angular jaw feature, claws. The beginning of horns and even wings. The muscle structure was lean and powerful. The spine inbuilt with the flexibility of a cat. "This is what the Chairman wants to be. The creature is designed with a high rate of regeneration based on chameleon dna and a high level of resistance to radioactivity through density of tissue structure. It should let the Chairman recover.. be an living symbol of our country.. and make him robustly healthy beyond human norms eventually. Anyway, that's the hope. I already have many theoretical ideas on how it could be done, this is what I hope your scientists and doctors can confirm or deny with me." Karnell would explain.

Maelstrom peered at a monitor, showing all the refugee ships leaving the island of New Zealand in the wake of this humanitarian catastrophe. Only a very benevolent and merciful soul kept him from giving an order that would send every single one of the citizens of a former empire lead by war criminals straight tot he bottom of the ocean using the massive missile web that was now tightening around the Australian continent as they returned from their global jog. A broadcast was made to the world, "Let it be known, that in our mercy, we will not kill the sheep with the wolves. The people of the of the former terrorist state of the DKT now fleeing the geographic territory of New Zealand are spared the wrath of our Sea-Crawler web in our benevolence." The Dragon Empire coast guard however, was on active duty, turning away any potential refugees from territorial shorelines.

"Welcome to the world stage neighbors. We celebrate your independence, and ask if you would like to exchange embassies and perhaps sign a treaty of friendship? It would give you rights to transit through our lands, take part in our technology, and to conduct extensive trade with us as well as grant you the assurances of our non aggression. If this is your will, you merely need say so and we will provide a draft for you to sign," stated Anthony Davis of Milcom.
