Yerushalayim Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 "General, we've received word that the Pacification Squads have located the last of the Lord's Resistance Army's bases. All intelligence available indicates that these three are their last points of resistance," Colonel Oluoch highlighted three small areas on the map within General Akinyi's office. "With your authorization, General, we can begin the final push of the Ugandan pacification." The Colonel was smiling as he waited on the General's response. "Very well, remove the Lord's Resistance Army from our Republic. Use the air force and the Pacification Squads to ensure that none of them escapes, especially their officers." The Lord's Resistance Army, a holdover from before the Pacification Wars, had been a thorn in the Republic's side since before its founding. "Sir," Colonel Oluoch saluted before passing on his orders, through the office's secure line. Icons representing the Republic's strike fighters appeared on the map, followed by more icons representing close support aircraft; Akinyi and Oluoch watched quietly as the map updated to show the aircraft's new positions until, at last, they arrived at the three pockets of resistance. Though the fighters moved on quickly, the support craft remained. It was hours later, after several other Colonels within the Junta had arrived and all had eaten, that the call came in. "General, the fifty first reports that the mission has been a success. All three positions have been neutralized. Lieutenant Adondi reports that the Pacification Squads have eliminated all Lord's Resistance Army personnel who attempted to escape the camps during the engagement." "Casualties?" Akinyi asked, folding her fingers together in front of her, and propping her chin upon them. "Forty three of our men, including the crew of a helicopter brought down by the enemy. Initial count reports that there were a total of three hundred and fifteen resistance fighters spread throughout the camps." Catharine nodded once and relaxed, feeling the tension wash out of her muscles. "Excellent. We are one step closer to a truly unified Republic, gentlemen. Colonel Oluoch, be sure that the updated situation map reaches our officers." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yerushalayim Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 General Akinyi stood with her hands clasped behind her back, staring out the windows of her office at the city lights below her. "Thirty seconds, General," came the soft spoken report from behind her. Catharine gave no response, but clenched her hands together all the tighter. Moments later the lights in Nairobi went out. *** "Go go go!" The order came through loud and clear over Alexis Adondi's radio, and she burst from the delivery truck that she and her unit had hidden within. The parking garage came into focus through her night vision goggles, and she spied the unfortunate guards who flanked the entrance to the apartment building. Her shotgun snapped up and fired twice, and each man let out a gasp of pain as they collapsed to the floor. Two of her squad mates advanced and silenced the soft groans of pain that eminated from the wounded guards. It was unfortunate, but necessary, for the success of the operation. Lieutenant Adondi sprinted to the doors and slammed them open with a kick. Glass shattered, then she and her unit were inside. Questions of concern and confusion by the building's residents soon became screams of panic and fear as the Pacification Squads swarmed through their homes. The building's guards put up a fight when they could, but they were outnumbered and outgunned by the elite soldiers of the Republic. Blood pooled through the halls of the apartments as the Pacification Squads swept upward, floor by floor. When she reached the top floor at last, Alexis reported in through her radio, "The fifty ninth block has been secured. The Senators and their families have been taken into custody. No sign of President Osano's family, however." "Good work, Lieutenant," came the crackling reply, "Operation Dark Star reports success throughout Nairobi." *** "General, the Pacification Squads have reported in. Nairobi's political figures have been secured. Fighting has begun in Dar es Salaam, and several of the Governors have fled before our men could reach them. The resistance doesn't have enough strength, at this time, to challenge you." "Good," Catharine turned from the window at last, "Bring the Senators to the Senate House. They'll sign the new constitution, and we'll have legitimacy." "Sir", a soldier snapped a salute and gave her orders through a secured phone line. *** The Senators of the Republic were gathered together in Nairobi's Senate House, their faces drawn with fear. The first fingers of dawn's light were creeping across the horizon when General Akinyi entered the central meeting hall. "Senators, you have had time to review our new constitution. I hope you won't disappoint me." Several of the Senators had already signed their name to the document, but some few resisted, and gave strength to their peers. "The Republic will not have a dictator," one of the courageous Senators growled at her. "Dictator? My dear friend, I am nothing of the sort. Our Republic will have no Dictators, but it will have a Queen. A benevolent Monarch, who shall hold no interest save that of the Republic within her heart." "Queen, dictator, they mean the same when they're forced down our throats at the end of a gun." "Perhaps that is so, and you are free to take this stance. You have no family in Nairobi. Your esteemed peers, however, do. I'm sure that they will see the sense in this necessary change for the Republic." Though there were mutters of resentment, and some Senators still chose to defy her, the General won her battle in the end. A new constitution was passed that morning, and the Republic gained a Queen at the helm of its government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yerushalayim Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Construction has begun on what has been dubbed the Royal Archology of Nairobi. The superstructure, intended to house the Republic's political elite, has been designed with the cutting edge of green technology available within the Republic. While the Royal Archology will not be fully self-sufficient, as early 21st century designs called for, it will provide for its own power grid and atmospheric purification systems. The archology is to be constructed several miles outside of Nairobi proper, and will include offices for the Grand Council of the African League. The project is slated to be completed within four years. A new wing of the military, dubbed the Praetorian Guard by Queen Akinyi, has been formed to guard the Royal Archology. Though the Queen was unavailable for comment, she is reported to have stated that the name suits the purpose of the new units. It is unknown whether Queen Akinyi and her household will be relocating to the archology on its completion. Though unconfirmed, rumours of similar projects located at several of the Republic's largest city centers, such as Dar es Salaam, have been reported by unnamed sources within the government.

Yerushalayim Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Colonel Alexis Adondi stepped out of the transport jet that had brought her from Kergulen Base back to Nairobi. She wore her combat mask, which filtered the air for her, though she was startled to see that the city's air was nearly clear. Her HUD registered few pollutants or contaminants, with air purity at Pre-Fall levels. The Republic had made great strides while she was deployed, and yet she chose not to remove the mask. With Republican Liberation Front attacking military installations, she wanted to be prepared for anything. “Colonel”, a Praetorian saluted her, his uniform pristine, and his armour nearly completely hidden beneath it, “Queen Akinyi has requested your presence. We are here to escort you to her.” The Praetorian gestured to a small motorcade that was idling near where the jet had stopped, and into which her belongings were already being loaded. Alexis gave a quick nod and got into the car that was designated for her. As the door closed, she removed her mask and basked in the climate controlled interior. A small tablet rested on the seat beside her, and she lifted it curiously. A message was left on the screen, reading, 'Welcome Colonel. I hope this information is useful.' She paused, then began to scroll through the information presented to her. The tablet contained information on the Praetorians and the investigation into the RLF. She had information on the RLF's attacks, and the interrogations of captured operatives. She was so engrossed in her reading that it wasn't until one of the Praetorians opened the car's door that she realized they'd arrived. She quickly slipped her mask back on, and put the tablet in one pocket, as she slid out of the car. The motorcade had stopped at a secured building, and Alexis was ushered inside. Within she found that the building was nothing more than a security checkpoint, which led to a small bunker. “Alexis,” Queen Akinyi greeted her from within the bunker, rising from the plush armchair she'd been resting in. The Queen strode to her and flashed a smile, “I'm glad to see you again.” She reached out and took one of the Colonel's hands in her own, before settling at the bunker's sole table, and pulling Alexis down beside her. “It is wonderful to have a friendly face in the capital again.” Alexis glanced down at her hand, still held by the Queen's, then nodded. “I'm happy to have come. No one told me it was at your request until I got here, though. What's happening?” “The RLF has kidnapped President Osano's son. Osano swears he has no affiliation with them, and says he thinks they'll execute Jeremiah as a traitor for joining the Pacification Squads. We cannot allow that to happen. I called you to Nairobi because I'm putting you in command of a division of Praetorians. You're going to find Jeremiah, and you're going to get him back from the RLF before they can do him any lasting harm.” Alexis frowned, her brows knitting together in concern, “It won't be easy. But I suppose hunting them will be like hunting the other rebels, during the Pacification Wars.” “Exactly,” The Queen beamed at her, “and this is why it must be a member of the Pacification Squads to command the efforts. We must treat these people like what they are: rebels seeking to overthrow our rightful government. Tomorrow you'll begin your investigation; tonight you'll rest here and I'll make sure you're debriefed fully.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yerushalayim Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 "The fuck is this?" Captain Adera snarled after ordering the Republican supply group to halt. An encrypted message had been dispatched to Alexandrian Command, and the Republic's own military assets were already enroute to her position, but this delay in her schedule caused great annoyance. She stalked over to the radio operator and demanded that they broadcast to the Romanian fleet. She spoke into the phone in clipped French, "Romanian fleet, these vessels are flying the Great Lakes Republic flag. Are you blind?! Stand down and clear a path. The Republic will not tolerate an attack upon its ships or assets!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangeline Anovilis Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Amiral Marescu was more than annoyed by the insulting response from the other fleet, but he would make a pretty short response, in French and in compliance with his instructions. "Greater Romania has enacted a blockade of this Strait. We reiterate our warning that any attempt of breaking this blockade will result in military action against Yugoslavia. Romania will not tolerate completely foreign units stationed in a country neighbouring ours." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
