  1. OOC: I'm forced to leave the forums due to a loss of internet access. I wont have internet for quite some time, and I want to apologize for the short notice, I really only found out today. I had lots of fun everyone. Good luck. IC: Due to the lack of stability in the tiny Vatican City, the Pope has decided to rejoin Alvonia, uniting the Italian penninsula and placing the difficult problems of the situation in the much more capable hands of the Alvonian government.
  2. We can accept this offer due to the minial risk factor because of Alvonia's closeness to the Vatican. We have reopened a major route connecting Vatican City and Alvonia.
  3. *********CLASSIFIED********** Because of the dangerous cercumstances I will accept your offer, although no decoy will be allowed to take my place. The Vatican must be notified of a prolongued absence, but I will not release my location.
  4. OOC: I'm not sure what you mean. If your talking about the Vatican military, that has only been suggested, no move was taken yet.
  5. Emergency Meeting Tonight Vatican officials attend an emergency meeting baricaded in the Vatican. Security attempts to monitor every inch of the surrounding area, as heavily armed patrols walk the almost empty streets. The call for an emergency meeting of this magnitude came from Vatcian Secretary of State, Amano Moretti who had this to say, "Due to the current risks involved in further opening borders for foreign personel, we currently cannot accept any aid. This meeting will last most of the night as we decide what action to take in the face of recent sophisticated, organized, and well armed terror within Vatican City. We will announce our decisions in the morning."
  6. Exiting the plane, the Pope was greeted by the Chairman. "Hello Chairman, I am also honored to have been invited to Canada. And my trip was very comfortable, thank you."
  7. Landing in Canada, Pope Paul VII felt a little heavier with stress. Vatican City was facing major threats within and is on the verge of possible great changes. He tries to forget, at least for the visit and with new enthusiasm he exits the plane.
  8. Borders Tightened Today the Vatican Secretary of State declared a tightening of borders, limiteting travel almost completely to air travel, and chocking off much of the usual tourism. Today squads attacked several small targets again today leading to a much larger confrontation with the Vatican Guard. Out numbered and out gunned, the Guard took many casualties retreating again and again attempting to gain a foot hold on every street corner leading to St. Peter's Basilica. Civil Guardsman- "We eventually had to move the bulk of the entire active guard to the streets. The shootout was like nothing we had ever experienced, I saw men on the front lines droppiong like flies to shotguns, automatics, and even sniper fire. We have no clue as to where these guys got these weapons, why their doing this, or even who they are." After hours of fighting the squads retreated and disappeared from sight while snipers kept guardsmen from advancing. The bloody confrontation left 19 Guardsmen dead and 34 wounded while the squads quickly carried away their dead and wounded. The current situation led to an emergency Vatican meeting even involving th ePope by phone to decide on a course of action. Our cameras where not allowed in but we were allowed to listen in a bit before being escorted away by guardsmen. Several cardinals immidiatly called for a large militant Vatican force. Their calls grew in number eventually being joined in by the Vatican Secretary of State. How a large force could be managed or even put together is beyond anyone where able to speak to. As the events of the week continue to unfold, it becomes less clear to anyone.
  9. OOC: if you could hold for a while I'll certainly be part of this RP but I think its important to follow my tour in as much order as possible.
  10. The Vatican sees no reason to accept the accused Father Abbanov especially if he is found guilty.
  11. "Simply tell me what you need. Man-power is lacking, but political or financial support is available. Just tell us. We are currently in the midst of orchastrating certain "events" within Vatican City that will push, even the concent of the Pope for a Vatican military. While the total population is small, millions of tourists come each year and thousands from around the world come to be trained mostly as missionaries for the Vatican. Our plan must work around our lack of population to amass a huge mercenary force to operate effectively as the Vatican military. In time we would effectively be able to send this recognized force to locations around the world, publicly aiding forces such as your own. We are also working swiftly to infultrate major corporations, but I cannot say much more than that now."
  12. Terrorism Hits Vatican City *Special Report* Early this evening a highly organized terrorist attack shattered a peaceful day in Vatican City. Officials say coordinated attacks took place in several parts of the city. Up to eight car bombs detonated simultaneously while 3 groups of heavily armed men stormed several buildings. An official released this statement, "3 of these squads where reportedly seen meeting at the monument of St. Peter seconds before the blasts began. From there these squads of 6 or more men each split up. The first group hit the Civil Administration Building but where slowed down by a shoot-out with security there, the 2nd group hit the more vulnerable Radio Station killing 5 people and holding the rest hostage, we have surrounded the Radio Station and are attempting to open a dialogue with the men now, while the 3rd group abondoned their target once quickly running into heavy security in the direction of the Basilica." The attacks come to a surprise to every inhabitant of the city. Everyone rests a bit easier knowing the Pope is still abroad on his world tour, and is not in any immediate danger, but for the rest of us here at home what will come of this terror? And why has it arrived in Vatican City, and with such force? VCN will be launching an under cover operation following investigatiors and city officials as everyone tries to piece together this dangerous puzzle. All people are advised to stay indors and travel only in groups, keeping a vigilant watch on their streets for any suspicious activity. Empty streets of Vatican City
  13. We can send 630 missionaries followed by another 320 once the later complete their studies. After that no more ready missionaries will be available until the next portion complete their training and studies. In one month we will have several thousand more missionaries prepared to dispatch to other parts of the globe.
  14. We are prepared to send up to 1000 missionaries to Alvonia as long as there is no problem with the Alvonian government.
  15. The Pope reieves the device, studying it briefly before carfully placing it in on of his pockets. He then happily hands the Bible to the Archhalaon. "Thank you friend. It has been a rather interesting visit, your Temples are beautiful and your religion is very fascinating. Regarding the MDP? The Vatican has no standing military. While we do have the Vatican Guard, there is several branches, one strictly for ceremonial use, one a Papal security, another serving as a standing guard for the Vatican,a dn the Vatican Civil Guard for the security and policing of Vatican City. We do not see how such a pact would be beneficial to your nation. I can give you my word that we will not show aggression towards you as long as I am Pope." Pope Paul VII laughs before continuing, But now I must be going. I thank you again for having me. Perhaps one day we can meet again, mabey with your ruler personally so we can continue to build friendly relations."
  16. We hope to see no criminal thrown or for that matter abused in any way, dispite their persecution. Also, we are peaceful messengers of God, and have no plan to force our faith unto others, instead we light the path to Him and make it available in places where it is not.
  17. Official Vatican Statement We are deeply disturbed to hear of the crimes commited by a priest in Azerbaijan. We raise no complaint as he is to be subject only to Azerbaijani law, but we are saddened to see the only priest in your republic arrested. We offer a replacement priest along with a full team of church hands and the establishment of more churches in your republic.
  18. "Yes, our general plan is convertion on a global scale. Obviously we cannot raise some powerful army to march over every end of the planet, even if we did that is simply not the way my superiors go about things. Our goal is to carry on our faith peacefully where it is recieved so, and forcefully where it is not. But we are very discreet in our actions, and carrying out our missions with carefull manipulation, precise assasinations that cause little notice, and perhaps coordinating wars. We are currently at an internal struggle with the Pope. We are trying to send our agents as missionaries to the nations accepting them from the Vatican. Pope Paul VII is doing everything he can to halt that. More detailed plans are mostly unknown to me, at least until after or just as they occur. But I can tell you that there may soon be a split in the Church. All of us in the Order, and those in the Vatican, even the Pope are uncertain as to what that may lead to."
  19. "This is intersting. I was briefed slightly on a Holy Fist heirarchy, possibly more complex than first thaught by the Order. What I can tell you about us is limited. Limited by my pledge of secrecy of certain things, and limited by my rank in the order, which is one of the things I cannot tell you. It is irrelivant anyways. Now, with the rise of a central Pope and the creation of Vatican City, many Catholic and Christian groups met in secrecy to discuss a union of sorts. We believed that now is the time that the most resources, man-power, political power, and finances will be made available to us to arm and lead The Global Crusade. These groups weeded out many who where lacking in will to carry out an aggressive crusade, leaving the Order with the most "radical" as we are often called to carry it out. We effectively control the Vatican. The Pope knows of our existance and has even spoken to several higher level Templars. While we can manipulate the Vatican to a degree, the Pope still has a large amount of control, but has led the Vatican to a more peaceful stance in the world. We cannot threaten him with death, because everyone knows we cannot kill him. Instead we share the Vatican with him, while most of its high ranking men have already joined our order. We also control the Vatican Elite Guard, using it as a means to train and arm our Templar soldiers. Now, I was told to make it perfectly clear. The Pope cannot be touched, I do not question any support you may have for him, but if you had any plans against him, you will cancel them now. Although he may not agree with all of our ideals, he does carries a high amount of respect and political power throughout the world. Frankly, we need him and we also respect him very much. This is reminded at every meeting I am dispatched to attend."
  20. Launch of Missionary Armada Over 7000 missionaries have departed from Vatican City today for the Azerbaijani Republic, the Imperium of America, Canada, Promised Land, the Bosporan, the Kingdom of Light, and all territories of the Commonwealth. Missionaries come from around the world and where learned and trained in Vatican City. The Vatican is still open to other nations willing to recieve missionaries, while abiding by the latest amended copy of the "1st World Concordat of the Vatican". The missionaries leaving for Canada have applied for Permanent Passes. Azerbaijani Republic - 798 Missionaries Imperium of America - 990 Missionaries Canada - 1020 Missionaries Promised Land - 880 Missionaries Bosporan - 800 Missionaries Kingdom of Light- 787 Missionaries Commonwealth Territories - 2110 Missionaries If any participating nation has issue with the amount of missionaries dispatched to your territory or nation, the Vatican request immediate notification and changes will then be decided on by the Vatican and host nation.
  21. Official Vatican Statement His Holy Father, Pope Paul VII declares a protest to the Decreta Saeculi. Such a document can only serve to incite fear and conflict in a time when the world struggles to find stability in a post-war era. The Holy See has recieved no such revelation yet to mark this time as the awaited Final Salvation and the Edicts of the Eschaton Collective have opened the gates of disunity within the church, a reversal in the positive growth of The Faith globally, and to weaken the authority of the Vatican and the Pope, Pope Paul VII as head of the Catholic Church. The Collective has shown a lack of respect for His Holy Father unseen before, and for this a "false call" for unity in its cause masked with The Faith has been branded on the Collective, to followers and servants of the lord, and those recognizing the place and workings of the one true Holy Pope and the Vatican City of Rome.
  22. "This I cannot do. Our God is believed to be the only God, and as his follower, servent, and child I cannot set other gods before or beside him. I am sorry."
  23. "Ah, what is it exactly that you wish to discuss? In short we believe in one almighty God to be our creator; the creator, in fact of everything. His word was first said to be spoken directly to chosen individuals, then later through his son Jesus Christ who entered this world from a virgin. From that point, his life and teachings where recorded and later sorted into one book. The Holy Bible. I have braught one with me. You may have it to keep if you wish to learn in more detail."
  24. "The pleasure is all mine. Now, we have watched your movements and you have certainly captured our curiosity. If you could explain your organization to us in some detail we can begin our discussion."
