"After your recent war with the Soviets is there any damaged equipment that you would be willing to sell to Nova Sol Terra?" asked a Nova Sol Terra military representive over phone connection.

"The council of Nova Sol Terra would like to request permission to be admitted to this pact. We feel that this pact could benefit our developing nation greatly and that once we have began to develop would be able to repay the pact members. We are willing to do any checks or requirements needed to join this pact. Thank you".

Of course I forgot about Elrich's Yakuza. I don't want to steal his idea so I won't use my Yakuza so yea I will keep my terrorists just need to work out a change in plan .

"Ah good morning gentlemen, what brings you to our most humble of establishments?" spoke the old wrinkled man bent over whilst leaning on a cane for support. The men he talked to were all asian, well built and quite rich telling from the suits they wore. They were also packing firearms too as the old man quickly noticed with a sharp breath. The youngest of the three stepped forward and rested a hand on the old man's shoulder whilst giving him a pleseant smile. "Now now there is no cause for alarm we are from the Wakashu family and we are here to "aquire" your establishment. Is that understood?" said Yang the carefully hidden threat quite obvious to the now shaking and scared old man. "Uh yes yes I understand but...but the Zaki family have already "aquired" my business and they won't like me giving it away" replied the old man who had started to cry as he thought of what these men were about to do to him. However, he was surprised when Yang took out a hankerchief and gave it to the old man to wipe away his tears whilst Yang guided him over to a nearby table where he could sit down. "Don't you worry we arn't like the other families we won't kill you or beat you for not giving in straight away. You don't worry about the Zaki family we will deal with them" repled Yang with another of his smiles and the old man was about to reply when someone else shouted out from the doorway leading into the shop. "Oh you think you guys can mess with the Zaki family huh. You are all nothing but punks!!" shouted out the teenage american whilst waving his arms around to reinforce his cool image. The two other men with Yang turned around to see who their guests were whilst Yang joined them. "Americans? We have Americans in our fine country now?" said Ichiro shaking his head at the thought. "Oh yea dog we Americans are ruling this joint and many others all because you pathetic gangsters are too scared to do real gangster crimes. Ha ha ha!" as the americans burst out laughing at their own statement Yang, Ichiro and the man all stood watching and waiting silently until the americans managed to get a control of themselves. Once they had managed that the three men pulled out their handguns and shot down the americans in a hail of bullets. "We arn't gangsters, we are Yakuza" said Yang to the now dead americans before turning to the elderly man who owned the establishment and hand handed him a business card whilst putting away his handgun. "You are now under the protection of the Wakashu family I hope we will have a productive relationship" he said before joining the other two men and leaving the store and its owner to deal with disposing of the bodies and the authorities.

Im going to withfraw the Principality from the RP seeing as how they have changed into a full military force which isnt what I wanted. Instead I think I might either just leave the thread or with your permission Razgriz I would like to start a Yakuza faction?

Im in. Nova Sol Terra here.

Catherine uttered a quiet, controlled cry of pain as she felt the syringe pierce the skin of her neck not having been used to the feeling of pain she had been unable to avoid crying out and now felt like a fool in front of everyone. The whole incident reminded her of the time at university when she had made a fool of herself when she messed up a very important experiment and everyone had laughed and jeered at the simple girl who thought she could play in the big leagues. The meer thought of it made her furious and the more she lay there waiting for this serum to take effect the more angry she got. This had better not be a fake serum because if it is then they are making a fool of me and I do not care to be made a fool of. Thoughts such as this and others raced through Halsey's mind as the "Raging Nostrum" began to take effect within her body. In her mind she slowly lost the sense of time and place as the Australian serum focused her thoughts on events and memories of the past where something had caused her pain, misery or anger which allowed the serum to work its magic without too much cause of alarm from its host body. Of course as Doctor Cyaire had stated it was a lower strength type of "Raging Nostrum" which meant that Catherine didn't go berserk as she would have with a higher dose. Whilst her mind was going through its own series of changes her physical self also changed in accordance to the serum's effects. To Commander Sangral and Doctor Cyaire they would notice that on Doctor Halsey's arms, legs and neck veins that had once been unseen by the naked eye were starting to expand and flow with an increased blood flow making them begin to stand out against Haley's pale skin. This wasn't the only visible effect that they could see her muscles began to also expand and push against the skin spread across them, the process wasn't too painful but in Catherine's current state she felt no pain anyway just a sense of anger, against what though she couldn't exactly tell. In a few short moments Catherine's muscles had expanded well past any point in her life previousally and she her mind had started to gain a measure of control over the memories that kept occuring and it was at this point that she truly felt the changes to her body and that small part of her scientific brain that was properlly functioning was amazed at the effects and made sure to remember to congratulate Doctor Cyaire on his work once the whole process was over. For now though her body and mind now worked on trying to move and found to its annoyance that it was restrained to the table it rested on. Catherine's body had began to sweat with the strain of both the serum's changes and her attempts to pull herself out of the restraints, her eyes also began to dilate as the serum spread through her entire body. Clenching her fists tightly she began to pull her arms upwards attempting to bring them together and in the process destroy the arm restraints luckily for everyone present she had never been a strong woman physically and whilst the restraints did stretch they never broke apart no matter how hard Catherine tried. She attempted to break free for a fair amount of time just long enough for the serum's effects to start coming to an end, her muscles and veins reducing in size and her strength and endurance falling back down to her pre injection levels. This of course meant that the full effect of the effort she had been placing on escaping the restraints quickly became apparent as her arms fell to table and she began to breath faster. Her mind meanwhile was also beginning to quiten down as the memories that had been so vivid and so active retreated back to the parts of her mind where they belonged and the rest of her mind that had been so quiet and dormant once again came back into focus. It took a minute or so for Doctor Catherine Halsey's body to return to its normal state, leaving her at its end panting out of breath and her clothes drenched in sweat. It was an experience unlike any other she had ever gone through and she could see quite clearly now how useful the substance could be for the Australian military espically with the higher doses. "Doctor Cyaire that was unlike anything I have ever experienced before, your work is amazing and I congratulate you on its creation and success. I believe that with you in the Australian's service they can expect much more advances in the future. Now if it wouldn't trouble you could you please remove these restraints. My body feels sore and I would like to get up. Thank you".

Well im currently putting effort into another thread but I am still focused on yours as well I just need to work out where I am going to go next with my forces.

No need for an apology dude good luck with your move.

Well I can't see any reason why it should be disallowed, I mean as long as no extra territory is taken or any stats added is should be okay what you think Sargun? Seems okay to me.

That is a good point actually Sargun, but I think I can see why you arn't allowed. It might be becuase if someone does split their country in two they might use their IG stats for both nations. IE say they have 10,000 troops they might say both countries have 10,000 troops thus doubling their numbers though only a fool would do that as we would soon recognise it.

With what was a small army now in Yuktobania the Principality moved their forces out along the docksides with whole squads of men and women armed with assault rifles and rocket launchers patrolling. Armoured Technicals along with a few tanks were also sent out as support those these were first directed to secure the nearby airport so that the Principality could be reinforced by air as well as by sea. The task force assigned to taking the airport encountered zero resistance on the way to and at their destination which allowed them to swiftly take the airport and its facilities with no problems. All of the aircraft were missing though which was a shame as were most of the weapons though some assault rifles and sidearms were recovered. The task force went ahead and established patrols around the airport's perimeter as well as deploying sandbags at the entrances to create defensive positions. The dockside forces were taking more time as they were constantly stopping to search warehouses for any supplies, eventually they had a good stock of food and other basic supplies which had been left behind. The Principality terrorists soon had most of the docksides on their side under their control though when they found the Reisse hideout they left it and the area around it alone out of respect. The territory under the Principality's control was now in the process of being converted into better defensive terrain with makeshift checkpoints being set up with sandbags and in the outer areas one or two small portable searchlights. The guards assigned to these checkpoints kept vigilant watch for anyone trying to approach them or trying to sneak past them. Anyone spotted would be told to halt and if they didn't comply they would be killed.

Right. Well okay then il just upgrade my own terrorist forces then .

HHAYD to be honest your control and roleplaying of this terrorist group is starting to be come well stupid. Remember this is a terrorist group here not a modern day army so I doubt they could afford to maintain and construct as much as you are giving them. Seriousally Carbon Nano Tube attack helicopters for a terrorist group? How the hell can they afford to purchuse them and maintain them without getting caught?

"The council and people of Nova Sol Terra congratulate Australia on the formation of a non corrupt church. We have seen many examples of men using the church as an excuse to gain wealth, land or power and we hope that the Australian church will refrain from allowing this to happen to themselves".

HHYAD what type of helicopter are your guys using becuase unless it is an armoured gunship I doubt it could take a missile hit and keep flying let alone keep attacking.

The Principality had now started phase two of their plans as they had a secure headquarters to base themselves from. Most of their forces had actually remained off the coast of Yuktobania in a number of small civilian vessels which had either been purchused or stolen and now they started to make their way in to Yuktobania one after another their weapons at the ready in case they came under attack. The first vessel to enter caught a glimpse of the cargo ship being attacked and warned the others to stay away. It was estimated that to get the full strength of the force assigned to Yuktobania ready it would take roughly two to three hours after which at least two thousand men and women would be ready to carry out operations minus any losses or complications due to outside interference.

Catherine allowed Sangral to warn the doctor without making any comment or facial expression to get in the way of the Commander's warning until Commander Sangral turned to warn her as well as make a slight accusation which made Catherine throw up her hands and shake her head from side to side quite viciously. "Oh no no I wouldn't dream of angering the Queen not with my life and my nation's relations on the line!" she said trying to throw a reassuring smile out as well. It seemed to work as the Commander's expression was diverted to the good doctor as he made a pretty bad attempt at flattering the Commander which made even Catherine shake her head in disbelief thinking of how even the smartest of men and women were sometimes a little out of touch. Of course the doctor turned to her and explained how the Australians had gained the first samples of "Raging Nostrum" and then how they had modified it and through his whole explanation she was hooked. So when he offered for her to take the place of a Lillian Halsey was both stunned and lost for words and whilst both Commander Sangral and Doctor Cyaire waited for her answer Catherine played the idea over and over again in her mind weighing up the positives and negatives and finally decided that whilst there were risks Science never gave results to those who waited in safety. "Doctor, Commander I gladly accept your idea of using me as the subject for this demonstration. Shall we begin?" said Catherine looking at the two of them with a smile and a wink of her eye.

Catherine had listened carefully to Commander Sangral mentally recording everything she said including every little detail so that nothing was missed. She was also surprised that the Commander was ready to reveal what information she had mostly had without too much complaint, the same couldn't be said for her own military commanders back home. The prospect of a live demonstration sent Catherine's heart skipping as that must have been what her surprise was and truthfully she had never expected to recieve such an honour. Before she could even thank Sangral they were heading off the road and into the city of Apophis and again Catherine was distracted by the change in atmosphere and scenary as this time it was a lot closer to home though it still didn't feel as oppressive here. It wasn't long before they came to a stop and Commander Sangral introduced her to the place known as Palac Pontus and its description as a main laboratory made her full of joy. This was where she belonged, where science lived and breathed and though she was paying some attention to Commander Sangral she was also quietly wishing they could make their way inside though she hadn't needed to wish. She was swiftly led inside and Halsey was glad to see that the lab was partially underground at least which gave it some security though it was a bit drab compared to her liking but that could be ignored considering what she was here to see and eventually they came to a room which immediatly caught her attention as did the man who bowed on their arrival before he walked across to her. "So this is the young lady that would like to know about my work? We please what is it that you would like to ask me?" Catherine had many questions to ask, how did they first discover the serum, what advantages and disadvantages did it bring and how easy was it to reproduce but she was a proffessional and manners came first. "Greetings Doctor Cyaire it is a pleasure to meet you. I have many questions to ask you but let us start from the beginning. Can you tell me where you first discovered this "Raging Nostrum" base substance or coding from?" she asked switching straight into her mature scientist like manner.

"My apologies Commander Sangral I meant no insult" Catherine had replied cursing herself for making such a foolish mistake. Of course they would send someone important to meet her after all this substance had to be very important to the Australians. She had then listened carefully and she had perked up upon hearing about a surprise before following Commander Sangral into the limousine which thankfully was much cooler than the outside air. As they had driven through the city of Brisbane Catherine couldn't help but admire the sights that passed her by. It was so much more different than Nova Sol Terra, here everything seemed so cheerful and bright whereas, back home people lived as if they had a watching presence over them at all times. Soon they left the city and were out onto the roads by the beach where the sun glistened beautifully off the sea and made the whole area seem to sparkle. Realising that she was probally making a fool of herself and that she had come to Australia for a reason she pulled her gaze away from the sea side view and instead concentrated on the occupants of the vehicle they were travelling in. Commander Sangral was defiantly military and probally special forces considering the name of the unit she led and that meant they truly did use the "Raging Nostrum" or they at least guarded it and so she could hopefully answer some of Catherine's more basic questions. "So Commander what can you tell me about this "Raging Nostrum"? All I had were basic reports which in actual fact were little more than rumours and as a scientist I prefer the cold hard truth than make believe and wild stories" asked Catherine resting both her hands in her lap and quietly awaiting Commander Sangral's response.

The flight had been hot, stuffy and cramped which was nothing like her office back in Noval Sol Terra still it was worth the trouble to get just a glimpse of this "Raging Nostrum" that the Australians had produced. She hadn't been able to believe the reports when they described the effectivness of some of the Autralian troops and so she had made inquiries to the Australians politly asking if it was possible she could meet with them to see this "Raging Nostrum" as she was filled with curiousity about its production and its effects. Eventually it seemed her request was accepted and she was instructed to fly to Brisbane airport where she guessed she would meet someone or some people who would take her to see the chemical or at least to talk about seeing it. So she had packed what little she could as quickly as possible and bought a ticket on the first airline to Brisbane from Nova Sol Terra. The tickets had been the lowest class and that was why she had been stuck in her present conditions still she was here now and she grabbed her luggage from the overhead storage before moving down and out of the aircraft. The first thing that hit her was the heat which was staggering even compared to the inside of the aircraft which must have been air conditioned. Swiping her brow with her sleeve to get rid of the sweat there she made her way down the access steps and out onto the pavement where a shuttle waited to take the passengers to the terminal however, she also noted a woman in uniform standing by a limousine and she guessed that this was the person she who she had to meet. Descending the steps she stepped away from the rest of the passengers who were busy glancing at the limo and the woman in uniform before muttering about privilges and getting on the shuttle. Catherine meanwhile approached the guard with a slight smile crossing her face and extended her right arm in greetings to the uniformed woman. "Hello there my names Catherine Elizabeth Halsey its good to meet you I guess your my escort" said Catherine in gretting coming to a stop just before the Australian woman.

Question Raz whats the state of the city we are all fighting in and second is there any military bases that might have been left abandoned ?

The team of Principality terrorists started to pull back apart from Gregory who first left the contact radio details for the Reisse members to keep a hold of before he then withdrew. Sniper Wolf watched all of this from her position making sure that the team was covered whilst they pulled back to the hideout and once they were clear she removed herself from her position unseen and made her own way back to the docks. Meanwhile the dockside had been fully secured around the hide out and with sentries watching all of the ground and sea access points no one was going to approach undetected. This left most of the Principality members with very little to do so they either drilled themselves through exercises, helped to move around supplies or cleaned and serviced their weapons. Inside the hide out itself Master Snake the leader of the unit was busy going over an image of the city they had recorded before entering. In it they mapped known groups and possible scenes of conflict which they were able to identify through signs of battle. With most of the locations marked down and the warehouse of the Reisse family also included on the map. "Ok men this is the plan we will send out two of the technicals along with a squad of ten men to recon the nearby area around us. We believe there may be a Yuktobanian military base nearby which could contain supplies we need. If it is found then we must secure it and loot what supplies we can and bring them back here to stockpile them. Okay thats everything move out!!" ordered Master Snake. It was only a few minutes later that two of the Technicals left the hide out along with the ten men assigned to the mission. Eight of them were carrying different assault rifles, one had a Rocket Propelled Grenade launcher and the team leader had a MP5 sub machine gun. They estimated that it would take about ten minutes to reach the recon area and then they could spend at most thirty minutes searching for anything of use.

A shadowy figure made its way across the roof tops and along the ground when it had to though it kept to the shadows even better than the three man terrorist team had done and so it came to the meeting point between the Principality members and the Reisse gangsters quickly and quietly before taking up a position a short distance to the back of them where the figure could see both parties and if need be take them out with ease. The figure, who was in fact a woman, was carrying a PSG sniper rifle a modern sophisticated weapon of long range death which she had kept with herself for a long time now and with ease and care she raised the PSG ever so slightly whilst she looked through its scope sighting the weapon's sight over the head of the leader of the terrorist team. She had been sent to make sure they hadn't ran into any trouble or worse changed sides in the conflict. Clearly they weren't in any trouble currently and they had no idea where she was, so she decided it would be best to contact them now rather than later. Keeping her rifle steady she raised one hand and flicked on the headset she was wearing thus patching her in to the nearby team leader. "Rabbit this is Sniper Wolf what do you think you are doing here. You are over due back at Mother Hen and now I see you talking to unknowns. Explain yourself!" Wolf said with a slightly annoyed tone of voice after all this wasn't waht they were meant to have been doing. Gregory who had just been talking with Tony suddenly jumped as he heard Sniper Wolf's message which took him by surprise and he couldn't help himself from turning around and looking for her to no avail. Seeing the confused and wary look on Tony's face he smiled and shook his head before speaking. "Sorry about that its our resident female sniper seems she was sent to check up on us". Gregory quickly responded to Wolf though seeing as how he didn't want to anger her any further and get himself in trouble. "Rabbit here uh sorry about that Wolf I saw an oppurtunity here and we might be able to purchuse some nice hardware if we play our cards right". "We will leave that up to Master Snake to decide. Finish up your business here and then report back to Mother Hen immediatly. I will continue to watch you from here". OOC: For reference this is Sniper Wolf.

Gregory caught the Micro Eagle easily and slipped it into up and into a slot on the side of his backpack. In the process he revealed not only the obvious MP5 slung across his chest but the two handguns on his waist belt and a combat knife sheathed above the MP5. Gregory turned and whistled sharply and the other two team members left their cover and advanced quickly and proffessionly to Gregory's position. He then turned back to Tony before speaking again. "We the Principality are a proffessional group of soldiers with a lot of training. We arn't a group of thugs or wannabe soldiers we have the training and the skills all we require is the weapons and equipment which you have and I am sure that to gain that which you have we would gladly exchange both money and our services for".
