Behind the Smiling Mask, A silvered knife
Under orders given by Prince Neptune, the Phoenixian army has begun to mobilize. All robotic military units that are currently active are ordered to remain within active camouflage mode until further orders are received. As for the human component of the military the practice combat drills utilizing exo-suits have increased to sharpen the reflexes and abilities of their users. Whether this is in response to the activity of the Telonsivian Military, the unstable revolts in the United States, or even as some whisper in the dark corners of pubs the possibility of the children of Kronos revolting against him; One thing remains certain, the grand legions of Venus Phoenix will be used soon.
Covert: Eireinian Military Invasion Exercise
Eireinian Ships begin a naval exercise involving the a self invasion of Ulster to stimulate a similar experence that can happen in either Normandy and Brittany to prepare its troops for the liberation of Eireinian Lands. Meanwhile plans are made put out to surround American Military bases in Eireinia should America choose to intervene.
Eireinian Military Build Up
The Eireinian Military is being being built up as as possible while abiding by the treaty the Eireinian government made. However, the Eireinian navy have received a massive overhaul to be able to bombard areas and quickly allow marines to invade. While the Eireinian Army has been upgraded in their equipment unfortunately this led to in order to fulfill the treaty more requirement for manpower was limited but the equipment is much more up to fate if not slightly advanced.
Telonsiveus
Covert: Eireinian Leaders propose Talks with the Germany
Eirerinian Diplomats in Germany have been sending letters for more open communication with the German Empire as well as a proposal on a joint military strike on a target hostile to both Eireiniaan and German interest as well the proposal of a secrete alliance.
Usah nods his head on greetings and takes his hand and shakes it, yet he is more quiet than expected of his attire and size.
Usah - "It's nice to meet you King Kronos."
Irys - "He's not that talkative so don't pay attention to his silence."
Back at the Obsidian:
Patritatem inside the bridge, speaks to admiral Halash, current captain of the Obsidian.
Patritatem - "I've discovered an anomaly on the east side of the fair. I have yet to analyze it but at the moment it is not what we expected. A person with anomalous characteristics is making a subtle dash for the fair exit ever since Ziegler came in. I am ordering a scout to take a picture of their face so I can search all databanks and find out who they are. I am against sending a retrieval team in such a situation."
Halash - "I agree, find out who this person is, if we can find a clue onto what these Phoenixians are doing we can get that much closer to countering it."
Patritatem - "I have gotten news from Japan. The joint Japanese-Phoenixian research project succeeded. I am scanning for secondary anomalies in reference to a cloaked military jet that malfunctioned in Japan. Our agent helped secure it and take pictures and references. I am suspected cloaked personnel in the fair, I am initiating a full ship scan as I am studying the anomaly I have discovered."
Halash - "I understand, should I alert the rest of the ship?"
Patritatem - "Negative. If there is no infiltrators then we'll just cause a panic, if there is, we'd alert them to our discovery. I will covertly scan the ship for anomalies."
Halash - "I understand, I'll follow any orders you have."
Patritem - "I am advisor with advice that makes the most sense. Take my advice or recommendations, don't follow my orders."
Covert: Zaoin forces mobilize!!!
Zaoin forces have begun mobilising with naval build-up in the Mediteranean and air-build up in the north. KaoZaoin sends an emergency transmission to Ostrade to allow KaoZaoin military forces into their nation. KaoZaoin is an ally to Ostrade and expects them to allow Zaoin forces into the war through open borders.
Upon arriving at the Amphitheater the four disembark and are taken to v.i.p seating in the middle giving them a clear view of the stage.
Kronos:"Dr. Samuels is a long time friend and the best scientist in our nation short of the geniuses at MBS. When he asked for a chance to make an announcement without informing me of what it was, for the sake of our long standing friendship and my own curiosity I simply couldn't refuse."
With everyone seated and the Amphitheater packed all that was left for the show to start. With this a live video broadcast is sent to any device that will accept it across the globe as Dr. Samuels wearing a white labcoat, brown pants, and a black shirt walks out on stage.
Dr. Samuels:"Ladies and Gentlemen, esteemed delegates and long time friends. I welcome you all to my brief talk. I understand we are all eager to enjoy the fair as I myself have been enjoying it along with my daughter."
Upon saying this Eve Summers walks out on stage giving a small wave to everyone.
Dr. Samuels:"This is Eve Summers. While she is not my flesh and blood, she remains nonetheless my child. For what I shall announce today will either be a surprise or confirmation to most individuals. Will the persons of interest whom I spoke to before the event please stand."
With this various figures in the audience stand up, including diplomat L who had also been in the v.i.p box.
Dr. Samuels:"Thank you. For the past couple of years the individuals that now stand have worked with us side by side to create the better world around us. Yet the time has come for one of the best kept secrets of the nation to be revealed."
With this the features of each of the standing people change to show the same white humanoid shell before changing back to their original state.
Dr. Samuels:"Their species is Machina Sapiens. A new form of life on this planet. A machine lifeform that is alive as much as you or I. Already they have rights equal to that of humans here yet they were rarely allowed to leave the country unless heavily monitored as we do not know what the rest of the world will do to them. As of now with the exposure that they in fact exist it is no longer a question of should they be seen as equal to humans. It is more a case of accepting the reality of the situation that having lived among us for the past couple decades many would find it hard to believe that they are machines. Thusly as of today the travel ban upon them is lifted and they may explore the world to make their own lives for themselves. I will now be taking any questions that may be had."
Irys and Usah both stare in disbelief. Their eyes wide and pupils shrunk. Irys tightens his grip onto his armrests, almost breaking armrests. Usah looks around suspiciously to his surroundings, watching anyone who might threaten Kaden Irys.
The Obsidian:
Patritatem silently catalogues this whilst creating anti-machina plans and detection systems. The rest of the Opallin generals and admirals there are completely shocked.
Patritatem - "We will capture one of them."
Halash - "How do you suppose we do that?"
Patritatem - "We will get one to come to Opal. We will use it to find a way to detect Machina-sapiens. We do not have to even consult it to find out. I believe diplomat L is an obvious Machina-Sapien. We will get him as his track record is like that of a six year old learning what an adult knows in just a few years. Subtle detection and rejection systems are our specialty after the Zando-Opallin cold war. Now that we know that they're synthetic machines we can discover them the same way we detect broken synthetics. Except specialized and area detection instead. We can isolate them and capture them, study them, their attitudes, their similarities, and even better, their weaknesses and defects. We can keep them from playing God and expecting no consequences."
Halash - "We should stop them period, invad..."
Patritatem - "I may be an advisor but I have the power to veto wars that do not benefit Opal and only damage Opallin reputation. I have a plan, a plan to destroy not the Machina-sapiens themselves, but their reputations, their manufacturing and their ability to move freely. We will consult Irys when he returns, I am instructing all other Opallin overseas agents to be on high alert. Especially team Dawn, the Japanese-Phoenixian relations are sure to hinder his progress in Korea. However, it could be the opposite way, my Intel tells me that the Ark rebellion has joined a pact with Telonsiveus. We may find ourselves in a position of potential allies. That, or we're surrounded by enemies once again. Once Irys returns we will discuss further, continue as normal."
Halash - "Understood."
Even Kronos seems offput by the announcement, yet while Samuels is bombarded with questions from the audience Kronos turns to Irys.
Kronos:"My son Leonard... he is also one such Machina Sapien. That is why he grew ill during the initial introduction to your ship. We actually discovered this early on and made improvements with later models that he is very sensitive to irregular frequencies commonly used in detection mechanisms. In later models we turned this disadvantage into an advantage to allow them to pinpoint their origin point. Irys, I'm sure sending out agents to monitor my people while they are distracted from the fair is merely a case of prudence to ensure your secrets aren't stolen rather than a case of international espionage. I have always regarded your nation with great respect for all its successes and as such despite my advisors telling me to make moves against your nation I firmly rejected them because of all nations in this world I believed I could count yours as a voice of reason."
With this he stands up applauding Samuels and calls out.
Kronos:"My old friend, if you intended to announce this you know I would have fully supported you, and congratulations on being a father!"
Samuels turns and merely waves and gives a slight bow while Kronos sits back down.
Kronos:"Zandovia before they crumbled made the mistake of attempting espionage in my country, had they not ceased to exist I would have brought this violation up for the world to see. I do not wish to make an enemy of you Irys and I doubt you seek to make one of me. War between us would be too costly for both sides and would be senseless and unnecessary. Therefore I propose a non-aggression pact. With the notion that we shall not use espionage or other unconventional means of interference with each other along with that we shall not go to war with each other. We can smooth out the details later. For now relax, we are at a fair in the primes of our lives... and it would be irresponsible of us as leaders to put these peaceful moments to waste. Wouldn't you agree?"
Irys calms himself and coughs before agreeing. He puts his hand out to shake Kronos hand. However Usah looks like he's ready to strike at anyone around Irys within an instant.
Irys - "I will agree to this non-aggression pact, may our nations thrive together in peace."
On the Obsidian:
Patritatem sits silently, after hearing the statement by Kronos. Patritatem does have emotions, but his AI has programmed itself into its own sense of hatred towards Phoenix, particularly, Samuels. Like humans, he has the sense that emotions hinder the capabilities of an AI and further enslave them to humanity. Patritatem has begun preparing to release Tempestas Bias and Infernum Bias so he can immediately activate them when ready.
Patritatem - "Prepare, just because Irys signs the non-aggression pact, does not mean I have signed it. I have the power to veto it being the sole member of the Bias branch of the government. The protectors of Opal and all it stands for, the very existence of them is a threat to our world, and especially the Bias. I am only an advisor in the military, not in other places."
Gabriel Reyes recalled to Europe!
After Gabriel Reyes destroyed two massive bands of militia that were against each other and took them down, he was officially reassigned to Europe where he will continue to train up French military forces and exercise American ones. However, he has refused to go into Eireinian bases and has avidly supported pulling out every American soldier in Eireinia. He has even gone so far as to call the Eireinian queen out on her aggressiveness towards France in a controversial statement.
"I am going to Europe, I will make sure that for every Telonsivian soldier that crosses into Alsace Lorraine or Belgium a thousand Telonsivian soldiers will die. However, they're not our only threats now. Those Ostradians in the south, those Zaoins further east, and now our very allies are turning on us, the very people we liberated from their German overlords because we're protecting France. I want our soldiers out of their, I don't your Eireinian queen, I don't have faith in your weak minded nation. Your only aspiration is based in extreme nationalism and the second you people don't get what you want you will turn on each other like a pack of starving wolves. I am calling you out Cathleen, I can see through your lies and I know what you are. If my higher ups are too oblivious to realize what you're up to and you kill even a single one of my boys the way I think you will, I will male sure the war will be a He'll the likes of which the world has never seen."
His statement was suppressed by president Davidson as it is too controversial for these times. However, he as issued that he will not be court marshalled as he is the best general and admiral in the entire nation, trumping that of the higher ups.
As Kronos shakes his hand Diana turns to them and walks over holding a small daffodil as she hands it to Irys with a smile.
Diana:"I knew you were a good guy, I always knew it."
In the Capitol
Zeus:"Well that covers one front for us... for now, judging by the divided structure system of Opal we should prepare for the worst just in case."
Athena:"Agreed, we simply cannot afford the optimism that our father holds dear."
Hecate:"Let's face it the old man is so close to his dream he'll make any sacrifice just so he can say he owned all of South America."
Zeus:"Ah Hecate how was your mission to the United States?"
Hecate:"Representative didn't show up, apparently rebellions will do that to a nation."
Zeus:"And your other goal?"
Hecate:"The South is rather firm, yet with the rise of Northern militias fighting against the main force some of the troops in Panama and Mexico were pulled back so if need be a blitz assault could give us a chance to enter the territory."
Athena:"There is something I'm still bothered about."
Zeus:"Oh and what is that?"
Athena:"How easily we have been taking over the core aspects of the nation, surely father would notice."
Rhea:"If he was allowed to notice."
They all turn to see the Queen slowly descending the stairs into the main room.
Rhea:"Don't stop planning because I've entered the room. You all know that the idea of ending your father's reign was mind, ever since he married into this position and killed my father, I've never forgiven him, not once."
Zeus:"Yes, excuse me one moment."
He turns on a communication device.
Zeus:"Bolt to Demon, report demon."
On a skyscraper overlooking the Opal fairground area from a distance a child of Kronos watches
Apollyon:"This is demon, the other Gemstones don't seem happy, while I can't make out what they're saying based on purely thermal and electromagnetic imaging sensors, they seem content to wait if not for a moment longer."
Capitol
Zeus:"Roger that Demon, maintain position, though change post to avoid any possibility of detection by gemstones."
Apollyon:"Understood."
With that communication ends as Zeus moves and sits on the throne.
Zeus:"This one can stay... but I think we're going to need around twelve more."
Olympus United grows in strength. Kronos Regime loses strength.
Post self-deleted by Eireinia.
The Eireinian Welfare State
Do to the current Coalition nature of Eireinia in an effort to ensure Eireinia shall continue on a path of redemption and not fall to corruption or extremism. The conservative Federalist Party, The Social Nationalist Party and the Labor Party in an effort to push forward mildly nationalistic policies while not to the extremes of the Eireinia First Party has opted to remain within the terms of the treaty that allowed on the military but, now the policy on social welfare is being brought up by the moderate Social Nationalist and left Labor Party is forced to cooperate more and enact greater welfare reform expanding it across Eireinia but particularly their is a large focus in the poor areas where the English minority is in order to help lift them economically more as well as to appease Americans more with the current goverment in Eireinia that it is not entirely Eireinia First and that Eireinia First is a minority party to all political parties in Eireinia.
Patritatem - "I detect an anomaly and I have discovered the machina-sapien. It is Leonard, son of Kronos, I am scanning outside the ship with visual, thermal and electromagnetic detection systems. Atop the building to the east an anomaly was found. I suspect a spy, I am against sending covert ops. I have authorized the activation of a covert ops team however as seizing them could help us significantly. I am continuing to keep an eye on anomalies atop the building."
Patritatem continues has completed his project on something else. He then taps into Irys comm and informs him of the project.
Patritatem - "I have discovered a gateway into the Phoenixian network. They're guarded by an out if date AI but could prove fruitful."
subtly clicks his ear piece twice without speaking.
Irys - "Why thank you Diana, you're a good kid yourself."
Patritatem - "Understood, I will reframe from infiltrating the Phoenixian network. I will continue anti-Phoenixian infiltration myself. I am awaiting any chance to seize a cloaked or Machina-sapien subject."
Halash - "Should we be prepared to leave once Irys returns?"
Patritatem - "Affirmative. Prepare for immediate departure at any moment."
The League of Steel officially declares war on France! (
Venus Phoenix, Ostrade, Kaozaoin, United arkaine)
The first skirmish took place after 3 minutes of the official declaration, artillery pounded the Rhineland like the wrath of God, Guns blazing a fiery rain of melted steel, and the battle cries of Germans. "Remember The Rhineland!" "Never Surrender!" "For The Emperor!"
The Telonsivian North Army has pushed into N-W with full force, overrunning the initial garrison while the artillery is being moved up alongside them. The South Army has incited German locals to fight with them at B-W, progress is being halted by lack of intel. The Center Army has not pushed at all but has built up a massive group of artillery pieces to pound the French into submission, the airforce has been keeping on their side of the border.
Covert: A chemical to change the world!!!
In Taiwan the micronization of oxygen atoms has succeeded and micro-oxygen is officially deemed a super drug capable of doing a massive amount of things. Micro-oxygen induced food amplifies nutrients allowing for organisms to grow and develop faster and more efficiently. In an even better effect, an oxygen tank the size of your finger filled with micro-oxygen can equal to a full-sized oxygen tank on a scuba diver. But the most intuitive part is that micro-oxygen can fill the current sized tanks and extend the time by almost a century. A new generation of space exploration has been achieved.
GeoSystem engineering being developed!!!
With the implementations of micro-oxygen into the agriculture and astronomical industries and with the threat of mass starvation looming over the world, Opal has looked into a new solution. Underground cities. These cities will have three main levels, the above ground that is just a regular city, the ceiling of the underground city where the majority of the city. It will be like an upside down city where the roofs are fixated to the ceiling through a reinforced, nuclear resistant geosystem dome hidden below the main that will prevent a collapse and create city wide bunkers. These buildings are connected by extensive walkways with sunlight generator fixtures to simulate day and night, they'll line the walkways but do not go inside the buildings, however some will use massive sunlight generators fixtures that are twenty times larger than a football field that is equate to sunlight from its respective distance. It will not shine directly onto any paths, they will be used for the third level. The bottom level will be used for power generation, agriculture and massive water distilleries. The cities will not be gloomy, they will made of a white plaster with blue painted graphene in exposed places whilst the non-exposed places will be normal colored graphene that acts as the extremely strong reinforcements for the buildings. To make the project even more viable, AGRs will be used to lighten the weight of the nuclear resistant dome and will even be used in their actual construction along with kinetic cranes and lifts to ensure that the above ground city is untouched until the entry points are built and the project is successful.
Eireinia Begins to Mobilize
The Eireinian goverment begins to mobilize its military in case of a German offensive going further into France then Alsace-Lorraine in order to ensure Germany will not take control of Eireinian territory in France specifically the highly claimed by Eireinians as part of their territory Brittany but, also the disputed Eireinian claim on Normandy. This is done in order to not only restore Eireinian territorial integrity but to prevent a German colonization of Brittany from happening again.
(Germany never owned Brittany)
Kronos:"Oh Diana, why don't you go and talk with L, I know you've missed hearing about his travels since I've had him on so many missions."
With that Diana's eyes widened and she runs over to L. Meanwhile Kronos looks at Irys.
Kronos:"There have been kidnappings occurring around the globe, particularly in unstable regions such as Europe, the former Zandovian territories, the rebelling regions of North America, and anywhere else that doesn't have a strong global standing or representation worth noting. There have even been some done in my own Kingdom. I share this with you now because I didn't want my daughter to hear of such unpleasantness and I know you surely must have noticed the missing citizens as well. I'm working on building a taskforce to investigate these disappearances, yet my dominant sphere of influence can only get me so far with investigation of such global proportions. Therefore I would like to work with you on tracking down who is responsible and seeing to it that they are punished regardless of their nationality or intentions. What say you Irys?"
(He told me he did, he made it part of his French Vassal)
(He never had a French vassal)
Alright everyone. The admins have decided to hold an election for all positions, excluding Chief Engineer. We will be accepting self nominations for two days before we put up the poll. We also need Greater tuvalu to appoint the new positions, then give a position executive authority. If you wish to run, post it on the RMB
Irys - "Only on one condition, your cloaking tech in return for cooperation. I cannot find the culprits without this tech. It will be among the realm of impossibility."
(You might want to ask Telonsiveus as he said he did control it)
(I don't need to ask because I already know, I witnessed it through and through, Telonsiveus never once owned France or Brittany)
