Operation Rick-Roll

[HHAYD]

OOC: I will respond tomorrow. Sorry for my delay.

[HHAYD]

OOC:

Here is what I am going to RP the TUO's spy attacks on:

1. All communication systems that can be connected by GLS's internet and telephone systems.

2. All essential systems that are connected to the internet system, such as power services (power planets operated by connected computers), satellites, police, health services and etc. All of their data will get corrupted and the power, gas, and water services will get hacked, forced to operate over 100% capacity, and their cooling/regulating/shut off/backup systems will get shut down.

3. If possible, attack government communication systems connected to the internet system.

By the way, the TUO's underground bases can be destroyed with repeated carpet bombings or shallow bunker buster bombs. That is why all of them are located away from potential areas.

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

IC: TUO forces were rapidly retreating, all of them falling back into their hidden underground bunkers or trying to hold back the invading New England and Disparu forces.

As the New England and Disparu forces continued to advance, they found dozens of makeshift labor camps with horrifying conditions such as bloodstains, and all of them were abandoned.

The TUO forces sent constant waves of bomb trucks, including ones loaded with civilians. However, less civilians were packed into the trucks and instead artificial packages of gore were packed with the civilians. The TUO air force was nowhere to be seen, they are hiding in their underground air fields.

The bombings on New City were useless, there were no important structures for the TUO forces. The bombing in Detriot had positive and negative effects. Not only the TUO forces were bombed, but the crumbling, trapped GLS military force was also hit by the missiles.

Meanwhile, the gruesome videos of the mass slaughtering were still being broadcasted worldwide...

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

In TUO's bunker:

"I can't afford to lose anymore workers. Call off the daily exploding of 5,000 people and instead, get the photoshoppers to make it look like those people were killed. Put the people in, shut off the recording and move the people back out. Then place artificial gore inside those mass execution buildings, turn the recording back on, and then explode the buildings." the masked leader ordered while talking over the phone.

Detroit, GLS

Operation Weavile, the name of the Special Operations team sent to Detroit, would receive a mayday message via radio. The group identified themselves as the GLS military, so the team began to head towards their base as fast as they could.

The TUO forces simply hid and deployed their purely "fake" GLS forces. The units would look almost exactly like the GLS forces, except they were to attack the special op teams when they are not prepared for it.

The "GLS" forces ran toward the special op teams while blanks from hidden TUO machine gunners were fired.

OoC: If TUO's spies can successfuly infiltrate Disparu, they probably won't do much damage to the war effort due to the provincial lockdown. Most of Disparu's Internet is down, everyone is on high alert and anyone caught outside may be arrested. The Government's Internet system is disconnected from the Internet due to their paranoia, so the spy will have to get into a major government building if they're going to spy something away.

Disparuean bombers continued to bomb areas that were believed to be strategic for TUO, while Operation Enigma continued to capture any TUO-controlled areas and bases they could find. The soldiers were headed towards their New Englander counterparts in Mississauga.

Back at the Disparuean Forces' HQ, Terry Palkia would be unable to watch the latest propaganda and killings by the TUO thanks to his broken TV. He never bothered to make someone fix it, since he didn't really like watching civilians go boom.

Operation Weavile troops would notice the "GLS" soldiers running towards them. Recognizing the GLS Military's gear, most of the Operation would fall for the trick, although some of them would wonder why the gear looked so clean for someone who "claimed" to be running out of supplies. Hidden TUO Snipers fired at them from all directions, which forced the Operation to run for cover.

As soon as the Operation's backs were facing the "GLS" soldiers, one of TUO's men took out a rifle and began shooting the Disparuean troops. The other TUO troops followed suit.

"Holy !@#$, we've been duped!", shouted the Operations commander. "Fire back! Fire at will!"

OOC: Erm, I haven't RPed them opening fire except for the hidden machine gunners who are firing blanks, and when I meant almost exactly; the impostors have some props on their vehicles and equipments to make them look more like the real GLS forces such as duct tape, black paint that looks like burn marks, and metal sheets/crushed cans randomly welded/bolted onto the vehicles.

OOC: 30%, eh? Boy, the Stasi is going to have a field day…

IC:

While the New Englanders were marching toward Detroit—the city was now visible at a distance—they, indeed, discovered what appeared to be makeshift labor camps. The conditions of the deserted camps so disgusted Army commanders and soldiers that they intensified their ‘war of eradication.’ Hundreds of captured TUO soldiers were shot out of hand, while towns and villages shuddered at the New Englanders’ wrath. The same thing happened at Hamilton and Kingston, which was captured by the New Englanders; tens of thousands of soldiers were converging upon Mississauga.

As for the constant swarm of trucks—which soon became apparent of what they were—the New Englanders eliminated them utilizing rocket launchers, self-propelled guns, and artillery guns. The results were so disgusting that it only hardened the soldiers’ resolve and fueled their desire to eliminate the terrorists off the face of Bob.

By the time, the bombing of New City ceased—the New Englanders concluded that they had achieved what they set to do regarding the capital. But where the rate of shells and lead falling upon the city lessened, they intensified for others, especially Detroit. And it was at Detroit that the Military High Command would widen the scope of the bombing raids to include Lansing, Toronto, Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Flint, and Kalamazoo. Soon, these cities would be awash with fire and smoke.

At Detroit, the GLS-SEF force under Colonel Price continued running alongside the city’s streets, looking for the loyalist GLS forces trapped in the city…

The bombing of all of the cities revealed the same results, none of the TUO's structures were in those cities in the first place.

In Detriot, another cluster of fake GLS soldiers and vehicles were sent toward the GLS-SEF force after they were noticed by TUO snipers.

"Hey! We are GLS military personals!" one of the fake GLS soldiers shouted as TUO snipers' fires purposely missed the GLS-SEF soldiers by a few centimeters.

Colonel Price readied his weapon as he and his squad cautiously approached the ‘GLS’ forces. He’d received instructions from his superiors stating that the terrorists might resort to unconventional methods, including but not limited to disguising themselves as GLS military.

“Glad to meet you. How are your forces holding up? We are here to relieve you and your forces.” The colonel stated, though he felt that something was...off. Sounds of gunfire, bombings, and artillery barrages could be heard in the background—and they were getting nearer. The New Englander military forces were now several miles from Detroit, and it would only be a matter of time before they entered the city.

Meanwhile, the spearheads of the New Englander advance continued on northwards, sweeping into the city of Ann Arbor while other elements marched on toward Lansing and New City. As usual, the New Englanders dealt with any resistance with guns, artillery, and bombs. In the east, troops entered Mississauga; the cities of Brampton, Kitchener, and Brantford were captured. Squadrons of bombers continued to pound the GLS cities and countryside.

The invading forces would encounter hardly any TUO forces except for mostly guerrilla fighters. The rest of the TUO army was hiding in their shallow underground bases.

Meanwhile, the GLS internet satellites suddenly came online and pointed toward Disparu and New England. The TUO hackers would soon begin their destruction rampage, starting out with targeting all of the power plants and forcing them to operate over 100% capacity while shutting off the cooling systems.

Including nuclear power plants...

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

OOC: Waiting for a GM to roll the dice and decide if my spy attacks are going to be successful or not. Don't RP any response to the hacking until a GM rules if the spy attacks work or not.

[Pikachurin]

OoC: Disparu doesn't have any nuclear power plants, since I don't have it in-game. Although you can probably target any factories and regular power plants connected to the Internet located outside the lockdown zone.

IC:

Detroit, GLS

As soon as Operation Weavile's general, Mark Ortega, decided that they were in a secure enough location, he ordered his men to standby and he faced one of the "GLS" soldiers and said, "Hello. I've received information via radio that your forces have been cornered. We're here to help you, and I believe that there's also a New Englander squadron somewhere. What's your current situation?"

----------

Meanwhile, Operation Enigma had finally reached their New Englander allies at the Greater Toronto Area, while Disparuean jets continued to provide aerial support at areas deemed critical by the military brass. The jets were headed southwards now, towards the city of Detroit and the areas around it.

OOC: Most of the power plants, industries, and other essential buildings that have computer systems connected to the internet are going to get damaged/sabotaged remotely anyways.

For example, natural gas pumping buildings' pumps would be forced to work to the point where they are in danger of failing while the gas controlling valves are shut off, causing dangerously high gas pressure in the pipes. For the water treatment buildings, their water pumps would get shut off while the chlorine pumps are forced at max capacity, so anyone attempting to take a drink would only get chlorine.

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

IC:

"We were ordered to escape from Detriot and look for help. Our main army is trapped up north, about 6 blocks from here! They need help as soon as possible!" one of the "GLS" soldiers replied while pretending to be out of breath.

The location of the "GLS" army? It was simply an abandoned GLS makeshift base, with an outrageous amount of hidden traps tucked in and around the base, including hidden snipers and machine gunners...

"Not well, our forces are trapped a mile from here, at the edge of the industrial area. We were ordered to try to flee from this living hell and look for help and encountered many hostile machine gunners and snipers, but nothing else. We better move fast, or else we might be too late to rescue our buddies." replied the captain of the "GLS" military force as he points toward the direction of the trapped main force.

But the location of the main "GLS" force was merely an abandoned GLS military camp that is about 15 miles away from the other fake GLS military location and 23 miles away from the real GLS military holdout area, with a deadly dose of traps and TUO soldiers.

"Ah, yes, we shall help them as soon as I give the go-ahead.", said General Ortega. A Disparuean private would tap the general in his shoulder, and asked if he could talk to the General privately.

"Sir, should we at least check if the New Englander team is actually here? That way we could coordinate our movements and stuff.", said the private.

"Yes, do that.", replied the General.

"Also, sir, should we also try to contact the base these GLS guys are talking about? We can tell them to hold on, and confirm if they really need help."

"Ah, yes, do that too.", replied the General.

The same private would attempt to contact GLS-SEF, while another private would try to contact the same source that broadcasted the distress signal, which was the actual GLS base.

OOC: Alright, I am going to RP the massive knockout in non-locked down areas.

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

In the outer space:

The GLS internet system satellites turned their transmitter online and focused surges of data toward Disparu's and New England's satellite internet dish stations. The surges of data contained viruses attached with firewall/security system bypass codes for almost all types/brands of operating systems, software security programs, and firewalls that were on the global market, and blanket, innocent looking data packets to make it harder for computer systems to notice. The only areas that are not affected are areas with the internet system disabled.

The first job is to remotely hijack the ISP servers and website hosting servers. Then those servers would crank out millions of more of the same data packets and then use those packets to sabotage the essential structures, such as power plants, water pumping stations, gas pumping stations, government computer systems, communication systems, and etc. While the sabotaging is happening, the hackers would target as many business, hospital, school, university, and police computers as possible.

After everything has been accomplished, if the power plants haven't blown yet, then the home computers would get targeted last.

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

In the real GLS base:

"Any response?" asked General Brad

"Nope, not yet. Haven't you noticed that the enemies' artillery and mortar guns stopped firing a while ago?" replied the radio operator.

Before General Brad can respond, dozens of artillery and mortar shells smashed into the section of the underground bunker where the long range radio was broadcasting.

"Crap! Get out of here, fast!" the radio operator yelled as he attempts to flee, only to get crushed by the tumbling dirt and concrete with General Brad.

Despite his conscience nagging him about something being off, Colonel Price nodded. “Very well, sir. Lead the way.” Turning to his second-in-command, the Colonel lowered his voice to a whisper. “I feel like something is off regarding these guys. Are they truly the real GLS military?” Pausing after his rhetorical question, Price continued. “I’d reckon our Disparuean brothers should’ve arrived in Detroit by then. Establish a communication with them, and coordinate our activities with them.”

The man nodded. “Got it, sir.” He and the rest of the soldiers continued to follow the ‘GLS’ captain toward the area.

Indeed, New England’s Internet grids and networks would find themselves attacked as they were overwhelmed with surges of data from unknown sources. All across the nation, either at home, work, or school, millions of civilians would find their computer begin to falter and even display DoS screens; some websites became inaccessible. Power points, electrical systems, pumping stations, government systems, etc would also find themselves attacked as well. But New England has an unusually effective security network, particularly maintained and protected by government firewalls and programs (utilizing complex codes) and as such—and it didn’t help that New England was in a state of high alert, meaning that such an attack of such nature and scale would be easily discovered, identified, and contained.

Due to the efforts of zealous operators, technicians, and supervisors, the ‘cyber attacks’ was quickly contained before they would do further damage. Any damage that occurred was quickly tended to. The satellites were recalibrated to more protected electrical and communication grids and sectors. True, the power points were targeted and attacked, and a couple came close to overheating, but luckily, government operators were able to prevent that from happening. When news of the cyber attacks reached Boston, the Department of State Security began investigating and tracing the origins of the attacks. With little effort, they were able to identify the attacks as these coming from the neighboring GLS.

As soon as this revelation reached the briefing room in the Department of Defense building, the SecDef was livid with fury. Barely managing to get the words out among his anger, Gates ordered that ‘retaliationary’ attacks be mounted to derail the terrorist ‘war machine’ in every way possible. All over the nation, various intelligence networks readied to launch an attack upon receiving orders from the Department of Defense. Utilizing vastly superior technology and wide-ranging resources, the Stasi and normal intelligence networks was going to wreak havoc upon the terrorists. Where the terrorists had caught the New Englanders off guard, they were now going to reap the harvest of destruction and devastation that they so readily sowed.

There was only one problem for the New Englanders though, the entire GLS internet system has been disabled by TUO's hacking, damaged from the war, and the GLS internet satellites are set to not accept any signals unless if it an encoded signal that came directly from the TUO's HQ, written with the correct triple 128 bit passwords and from the correct location.

And on top of that, the satellites were going to launch the next wave, not a DoS attack, but a data and BIOS corrupting attack. The data were beamed down to different New England's and Disparu's satellite internet dish stations, not the ones that have already been affected.

The data packets was coded similarly to the first set of packets but a different of virus. The moment the internet came back up, all of the computers not protected by the government's security system were going to crash when the viruses delete the operating systems while using hijacking and using 100% of the computers' processing power, and then the viruses will move on to delete the next one, the computers' BIOS. The attack will kill millions of computers in less than a minute in Disparu and New England if those data packets are not stopped in time.

A random Disparuean home

Steve was tired and really bored, but this period of boredom was about to be replaced by two months of excitement and partying, since his university essay was almost done. He only needed a couple more words, and he would be done. He didn't bother saving the document beforehand, since he wanted to brag to his friends that he typed his whole essay without saving.

"Yessssss...it's finally done! All I have to do is Save and..."

Unfortunately for Steve, his computer instantly crashed thanks to TUO's DDoS.

"WHAAAAAT! I SPENT ALMOST SIX !@#$@#$ HOURS TO WORK ON THAT !@#$@#$ ESSAY! I'M DONE WITH THIS WINDOWS !@#$!"

After smashing the keyboard into his desk and punching the CPU, he began to look for a pen and paper, but as if he didn't need any more problems, the lights instantly went out.

"$%&@!", swore Steve.

---------

All over the areas not affected by the lockdown, any online computers and servers would instantly crash, followed by the power going out. The businesses who had a power generator within them would be lucky to have power. Anyone who tried to access a .dp website, and any website stored within Disparu, would get a "This server is busy" message. Thousands of educational, communication and utility systems would instantly crash and go offline.

Power stations, water grids, networks and other utilities connected to the Internet within Disparu would start to behave erratically. Some would start to overheat, and with the backup systems shut down, they would start to approach dangerous levels. Fortunately, veteran ITs and operators who knew the emergency procedures by heart would start to apply their knowledge in real life, while newbie operators would grab the manual and look up the problem. The affected computers were isolated, computers, servers and utilities were disconnected from the Internet. The affected computers were cleaned or wiped clean, with the operators attempting to backup as much information as possible.

Hijacked utilities would be subject to an emergency shutdown and immediately repaired. Operators and repair teams had a tough night repairing and fixing hijacked computers.

***PRIVATE***

Jubilife, Disparu

Fortunately, the Disparuean Forces and other important government networks were within the lockdown zone and most were not directly connected to the Internet, so the Federal Government in general was not heavily affected.

As soon as the news of a massive cyber attack reached the Government, the Ministry of Science and Technology, headed by Minister Samuel Oak, would begin to track down the source of the attack. Judging from the attackers' IPs, the attack probably came from GLS. The Ministry did not bother retaliating, since it was a waste of time and resources. Instead, they began to shut down most of Disparu's Internet infrastructure.

"It seems that we're going to be forced to initiate a nationwide lockdown.", said Samuel Oak. "Contact Lance, explain the situation and get him to approve the lockdown. Lots of people won't like it, but it's for their own good."

Since the Government had it's own private Internet system that wasn't connected to the main Internet, they won't be affected by the nationwide lockdown. Only government staff that went to random sites during work would be affected. Sure, it would affect lots of businesses but they'll be hurt anyways if TUO sent another attack.

The measures taken by the Government helped to prevent the second wave of the cyber attack.

Are they truly the real GLS military?” Pausing after his rhetorical question, Price continued. “I’d reckon our Disparuean brothers should’ve arrived in Detroit by then. Establish a communication with them, and coordinate our activities with them.”

The man nodded. “Got it, sir.” He and the rest of the soldiers continued to follow the ‘GLS’ captain toward the area.

In the real GLS base:

"Any response?" asked General Brad

"Nope, not yet. Haven't you noticed that the enemies' artillery and mortar guns stopped firing a while ago?" replied the radio operator.

Before General Brad can respond, dozens of artillery and mortar shells smashed into the section of the underground bunker where the long range radio was broadcasting.

"Crap! Get out of here, fast!" the radio operator yelled as he attempts to flee, only to get crushed by the tumbling dirt and concrete with General Brad.

Radio stops broadcasting loophole help signals

The same private who notified General Ortega would receive a reply from GLS-SEF, confirming their presence in Detroit. Unfortunately, the same source that broadcasted the help signal never replied, and their broadcast was suddenly cut.

"Uh...sir, we received a reply from GLS-SEF.", said the private.

"Good. Anything else?", replied the General.

"Well, we never received a reply from the GLS Base, plus they cut off their broadcast. That's probably because they're already here or GLS-SEF has reached them, but I'm not sure.", said the private.

"Okay. Continue to communicate with GLS-SEF.", replied the General.

"Yes, sir."

General Ortega had a feeling that something was amiss, but he still tried to be optimistic. He returned to the "GLS" soldier and said, "We're clear. Let's go and help your comrades. Lead the way.", said the General. EVen though he was optimistic, he still kept his guard up and did not trust these "GLS" soldiers.

A random Disparuean home

Steve was tired and really bored, but this period of boredom was about to be replaced by two months of excitement and partying, since his university essay was almost done. He only needed a couple more words, and he would be done. He didn't bother saving the document beforehand, since he wanted to brag to his friends that he typed his whole essay without saving.

"Yessssss...it's finally done! All I have to do is Save and..."

Unfortunately for Steve, his computer instantly crashed thanks to TUO's DDoS.

"WHAAAAAT! I SPENT ALMOST SIX !@#$@#$ HOURS TO WORK ON THAT !@#$@#$ ESSAY! I'M DONE WITH THIS WINDOWS !@#$!"

After smashing the keyboard into his desk and punching the CPU, he began to look for a pen and paper, but as if he didn't need any more problems, the lights instantly went out.

"$%&@!", swore Steve.

Unfortunately for the terrorists, the New Englander satellite network was now fully insulated against the data and BIOs corrupting attacks. Powerful firewalls and anti-virus programs—installed not only by the federal government to protect the Internet system, but also (most) citizens at the government’s recommendation—were able to detect and prevent the virus data packets on time before they managed to enter New England’s Internet system. But to be true, a couple hundred of unprotected (and obsolete) computer were affected by the viruses and crashed, but this had a negligible effect on the entire Internet system.

When news of this reached Boston, the SecDef ordered a course of action to be taken: the New Englander military satellites were to launch an overwhelming barrage of data to literally fry the GLS satellites. The satellites, moving into position, unleashed a devastating attack against the GLS satellites, sending millions of viruses, Trojans, and other such software into the GLS satellites. Even if the GLS satellites were configured not to accept any other signals but one, they were still going to get overwhelmed and fried anyways. Such is the wonders of New Englander technology.

On the ground, the New Englanders continued to advance toward Detroit, finally entering the city. Setting artillery guns in place, the New Englanders unleashed reckless attacks that flattened the city’s outskirts. Midst the destruction and devastation, New Englander soldiers and tanks advanced deeper into the city, blasting any enemy forces in the way. At the same time, New Englander forces were cruising full-speed toward Kalamazoo and Lansing; in heavy fighting, the New Englanders wrested control of Mississauga from the TUO terrorists and were advancing toward Toronto and London.

---

In Detroit, as the ground began to shake from the New Englander artillery attacks and the gunfire could be heard more clearly, the GLS-SEF was in communication with both their Disparueans and their New Englander counterparts. They roamed the city’s streets, eliminating any opposition in the way and looking for the GLS loyalist forces as well as the Disparueans.

Meanwhile, Colonel Price and his squad continued to follow the ‘GLS’ captain toward the alleged ‘GLS’ base. Little would they know was that they were heading toward a trap—but they would keep their guard up as they didn’t fully trust the ‘GLS’ captain.

OoC: Thanks!

Operation Weavile would continue to communicate with GLS-SEF, while attempting to establish a communication with any GLS Loyalist Troops. General Ortega would inform GLS-SEF that they were escorting a "GLS" squadron to their "base", located a couple of blocks away.

---------

Meanwhile, Operation Enigma would finally arrive in Windsor, which was adjacent to Detroit. Most of the Disparuean soldiers and tanks would begin to cross the river via the Ambassador Bridge or makeshift boats, while some stayed in Windsor, rooting out any possible GLS hideouts, securing crucial locations and neutralizing the threat as much as possible. Jets overhead continued to provide air support. Operation Enigma began to communicate with their New Englander counterparts, GLS-SEF and Operation Weavile.

GLS-OHIO FRONT

At the front, tens of thousands of soldiers, as well as hundreds of tanks, IFVs, and artillery guns, began streaming into the GLS. They had just recently fought—and decisively defeated—the RoB forces, and as such had high morale. Over time, over 70,000 soldiers would augment the 200,000 soldiers already in the GLS. The arrival of reinforcements was a relief to the exhausted soldiers at what was known as the GLS-Ohio Front, and enabled them to maintain law and order in the occupied areas behind their lines.

At Detroit, artillery guns continued to lobby shell after shell at the downtown area of the city as soldiers and tanks headed deeper into the city. Soon, over half of Detroit was under their control, and the New Englanders began to head toward the adjacent city of Windsor. It was there that they would meet up with Disparuean troops of Operation Enigma, as well as some of their GLS-SEF forces.

IN DETROIT, GLS

The GLS-SEF squad under Colonel Price was in constant communication with their Disparuean and New Englander counterparts while they followed the ‘GLS’ captain toward the supposed GLS base. The shelling, explosions, and gunfire could now be heard much clearer and closer. The New Englanders were in the city, and was now fighting their way to the city's center.

GLS-NEW YORK FRONT

At the GLS-New York Front, New Englander troops flooded London, overwhelming the resistance of the TUO terrorists and capturing the city after several hours of fierce fighting. By then, they had penetrated Toronto—and soon much of the city was under New Englander military control. At the rate their advance was going, the New Englanders was going to meet up with their and Disparuean counterparts that were in the other part of GLS.

ABOVE NEW CITY, GLS

While fighting raged on the ground below—gunfire and shelling could be heard off in the distance—squadrons of S-22 Hawkeyes converged upon New City, the capital of GLS, after braving the relentless attacks from the terrorists’ anti-aircraft defenses. They were to capture the capital and quell the terrorist resistance for once and for all…

**CLASSIFIED MESSAGE TO DISPARU AND NEW ENGLAND**

With the RoB forces in the Republic of Tennessee defeated and our troops near the area, we offer our forces as a third front against these terrorists. We can also offer air, special forces, and missiles against areas. Let us know if this is desirable. If not, we will simply withdraw our forces back through Tennessee to our territory.
