  1. However, this time, the pilots couldn't take it. The flashes were far too much bright, despite the sunglasses. The pilots lost control of the aircrafts this time, and they went spiraling out of control toward the ground. As Ellison and the others watched in concern, terror, and horror, the aircrafts were getting nearer and nearer to the ground.

    At the last minute, however, the blinded pilots managed to take control of the aircrafts and they narrowly missed the ground, but then ground to a rough halt on the ground a few yards from where Ellison and the others were standing.

    Calming his beating heart and steadying himself, Ellison turned to Fan. "Well...I guess it worked this time." He turned to survey the aircrafts, of which officials and staff workers were rushing toward to tend to the workers...

    Fan looked though his papers and asked, "So, do you want to continue, or should we continue tomorrow? We still have a few more missiles to test."

  2. Ellison chuckled as he saw Fan facepalm. He looked up at the air, readying himself in anticipation of the flashes as the missiles were launched into the air.

    True, the liquid flash powder were more intense and brighter when they struck to the windshields, so much that despite the sunglasses, the pilots couldn't help but lose little control of the aircrafts. The aircrafts looked as if they were about to spin out of control, but the pilots managed to maintain control, whizzing through the air.

    "This is pilot A3-220 reporting in." One of the pilots' voice rang from the intercom. "Status report: everything is fine. The flashes were more intense, and we now have spots in our eyes, but we are fine. Over and out."

    "Launch type 4 missile." ordered Fan

    Type 4 missile contained the type 2 missile's powder, but there were compressed oxygen added to it. As a result, a small shock wave is generated and the flash would be much brighter than type 2 (and type 4 if the aircrafts are close enough) but would completely burn up in a split second unlike type 2's and 4's two second period.

  3. The flash of light was slightly brighter and intense, and the pilots squinted a little from it. But other than that, they still could see clearly. The aircrafts continued to whizz around in the air.

    Fan facepalmed and then said, "Fire type three missile."

    The third kind of missile contained sticky liquid flash powder. It was designed to stick onto almost anything and ignite after a few seconds of contact with the air. Flashes are more intense when those liquid explode while stuck to the windshields.

  4. OOC: My...your workers must be superhuman to make this much progress in about two weeks (1 RL day = ~12 RP days, but it's up to ya). :awesome:

    OOC: I use a different scale, (1 RL day= 24 RP days) when it comes to building things. I have no interest in going around and posting stats every day for like what, 30 RL days?

  5. A nuclear weapon of suitable size can vaporize quite a large segment of this object if detonated near enough. Something on the order of several Tens of Megatons. Any piece that is left unvaporized can be hit again. With the space elevator such a large weapon should be able to quickly get into space and onto the target.

    And how do you know it is not going to turn into millions of radiation contaminated metal chunks that are likely to shred huge parts of this planet?

    Keep in mind that even if they burn up in the atmosphere, the radiation will still be deposited into the atmosphere.

    After one of our neighbors were EMPed, we have decided to EMP proof the nation. Such action would require years of work, and is extremely expensive. The first systems that will be EMP proofed are the power lines, power plants, railroad system, and all of the military vehicles. The border defense that is being built will be EMP proofed as we continue to build it.

    Public:

    Announcement from Great Lakes State:

    In response to the asteroid on collision path, emergency plans have been enacted in case if the asteroid sprays dust throughout the world. All ships that belong to companies stationed in GLS in the Atlantic Ocean are ordered to avoid being within 50 meters from shore within 72 hours notice.

    Dust masks, medical supplies, canned food, fuel, and medical helicopters are currently being mass produced and stockpiled. All military soldiers and the Emergency Disaster workers are placed on standby in case if our neighbors get damaged from the impact.

  8. OOC: Thank you. As I said, the problem is they can detect them--but ONLY if they're looking in the right direction.

    OOC: Don't other CNRP nations have the asteroid watching program, or did the players never RP them?

    If not, then I think this RP is realistic. I don't understand why some RPers can't deal with imaginary damages to their imaginary nations when other imaginary nations are affected or will be affected.

  9. OOC: Eggheads always spoil the fun. What makes you think this couldnt happen IRL? Short notice? Maybe we should try to prolong the impact in order to find a solution.

    OOC: IRL, NASA would have detected an asteroid on collision path years, maybe decades before the impact.

    Maelstrom Vortex, your RPed notice time is way too short. It takes days to prepare and launch a rocket, and then even more time to move the asteroid off collision path. I suggest you to extend the RP notice time up to 1000 or 2000 days.

  10. OOC: At the topic Lolwhut :blink:

    IC: We propose sending Aerosmith accompanyed by Harrison Ford to activate a nuclear bomb at a precise point under the asteroid's surface which will split it in two and cause it to miss the Earth.

    You are going to need lots of nuclear weapons, since the asteroid is very dense.

    And worse, if done incorrectly, it could turn into a shotgun mess and destroy a huge chunk of this planet.

  11. The flashes were so bright, so intense that the pilots couldn't help but squint a bit - despite the fact they were wearing state-of-the-art sunglasses that were configured to protect their eyes from the most intense glares. But other than that, the pilots still could see and they continued to manuever their aircrafts in the air. The sunglasses were working.

    On the ground, Ellison turned his face away and shielded his eyes with his hand. When the glares subsided, Ellison turned to survey the aircrafts still whizzing around in the air. Grinning, he turned to Fan. "Guess it worked, heh."

    "Second rocket then. We got plenty of more that are different types." replied Fan

    The GLS scientists fired the second track-via-missile, with another type of fireworks in it. The second type generates a higher concentration of light at the cost of having the radius of effect reduced since all of the powder explodes unlike the first kind.

  12. Ellison grinned. "Fire away." He said simply.

    "Fire!" shouted the director, and one of the GLS scientists pressed the launch button.

    The first track-via-missile was launched, and roared toward the interceptors at mach 5. The rocket exploded close to the aircrafts and a giant, bright, white flash was generated as large burning by-product chunks from the fireworks rocket explosion scattered in all direction. Within 1-3 seconds, all of the by-product chunks exploded and generated more flashes.

    The flashes generated were so strong that some of the GLS scientists with sensitive eyes were squinting or covering their eyes.

    The pilots are soon going to be flying the jet planes, while being blinded.

  13. OOC: Oh, that slipped my mind. Sorry about that. :blush:

    IC: Ellison remained silent for a while. Finally, he facepalmed. "Oh yes! I forgot about that, sorry about that." Turning to the pilots, Ellison gestured them to begin. The pilots nodded and scrambled for their respective aircrafts. They got into the aircrafts, and after standard procedures (including putting on the sunglasses), and were ready for take-off.

    Finally, the interceptors, after running up the runaway, took off into the air. The interceptors did some rolls and dives in the air as they whizzed around. The pilots were having a time of their lives.

    "Ready to fire?" asked Fan.

  14. "It's a honor to meet you." Ellison smiled as he turned to the project. New England officials, scientists, and anyone working in the project promptly went to work setting everything up. In a short while, they were finished and everything was good to go.

    Ellison, after checking his clipboard, turned to Fan. "Everything should be good to go. If they are here, your pilots can fly our aircrafts during the experiment." He said as he gestured to two interceptors nearby. "Or would you prefer we use our own pilots?" He gestured to several pilots nearby, who waved. "Nevertheless, we will ensure their safety, and they will be equipped with our state-of-the-art sunglasses that will shield them from the blinding effects of the fireworks."

    The New England director paused for a moment as he barked orders to various officials and staff workers. "It's ready, you may begin. Good luck." Ellison said to Fan.

    OOC: So...who will fly the aircrafts, and who will fire the fireworks? ;)

    OOC: If my nation doesn't have an airforce, then it doesn't have any airforce pilots. :awesome:

    ------------------

    IC: "We don't have any jet pilots in our military, since we don't even have an air force. We will fire the rockets." replied Fan as the GLS scientists prepared the rocket launchers, a mini radar machine for the track-via-missiles, and loaded them.

  15. After the GLS scientists and director arrived, the New England director of the project greeted them. "Hello, sirs. My name is Harry Ellison, and I will be supervising the project on behalf of the government." Ellison greeted as he shook the GLS director's hand. "We have everything else prepared for the experiment. We have undertaken all protective and safety measures possible to ensure that the experiment goes as smoothly as possible and according to plan."

    Ellison led the team to the site. "Why don't you set up everything and we'll do the same." He said as he gestured to the crates containing the fireworks.

    "My name is Gred Fan." said the director as the 20 scientists begin opening the crates of fireworks. The crates were filled with plastic rods that are filled with the flash powder, empty track-via-missiles, and forget-and-fire missiles.

    After the crates were opened, the scientists placed the plastic rods in the missiles, and clamped the opening hatches close so the firework rods don't fall out during launch.

  17. "We will do that." Kennedy smiled as he stood up and shook hands with President Jake and the rest of his delegation. Kennedy's delegration got up from their seats too. "It was good meeting with you, as brief as it may have been."

    "Good day to you sir. I had to make it brief since there is an urgent problem in Great Lakes State; the pesky TUO and their rivals are causing mass destruction wherever they fight at and had racked up nearly $50 million worth in damage and medical care." replied Jake. They then left the room.

    OOC: Want to RP the experiment in another thread?
