Breaking News... Faux News... Breaking News...
BP Oil Platform 421 was attacked in the early morning hours by
as yet undetermined aggressors. The explosion damaged one of the
main supports resulting in a 30 degree list, rupturing oil and
fuel lines. Emergency cut off valves restricted the spill to
10,000 gallons which ignited during the attack. There were 4
fatalities and ten injuries the rest of the crew were evacuated
until an investigation is completed and repairs can be
completed.
In other news Hurricane Allie appears to be heading North North
East sparing Region IV from implementing emergency protocols.

4 small boats approached 2 Erebus ships in the dead of night and
rigged the outside of their hulls with large C4 charges one on
the bow (front) and one on the stern (back) then sped away and
detonated them and left at great speed under the cover of
darkness
OOC: the bow and stern plants is a really old trick to make sure
the ship capsizes and sinks. However I shall leave
Aggressivenutmeg to determine the ships, class (Frigate,
Destroyer etc) and whether or not the old trick worked
Meanwhile:
Displace International Tech Mike Griffin signed into the
satellite uplink and locked into D.Is location then zoomed out
until it found the small boat speeding away and tracked it and
saw it eventually docked at a small jetty on Mercury's west
coast.
Since Eric was away and so was Terry, Mike gave the information
to the next in line, Frank Willis who started putting together a
task force "Vengeance is a Job we do for free" Frank said as he
started looking through the men's skills and experience looking
for some of the best.

Captain Shawn Walsh called his platoon leaders together to brief
them on their initial push inland, whle M31s and the two LCACs
were still transporting men and equipment to the beach. So far,
there was four Leopard 2A4M CANs, several M31s, LAV-IVs and a
pair of Cougar IFVs.
"Ok gentlemen heres the plan, we are to make a push inland,
securing a small unused airfield several miles from the beach
from which we can establish a base to allow for reinforcements"
"Sir, what are the reports on enemy strength?" A Marine LT asked
"From what we saw on the Marine's camera's and satelite recon,
the OpFor is mostly extremist militia with not much in the way
of advanced weaponry. Due to the nature of the area, and the
preseence of atleast two Leopard 1s, most, if not all, of their
equipment will be ex-brazilian army equipment, with support from
unknown mercenaries with some more advanced equipment."
"What about enemy naval or air support sir?"
"With exception to a pair of mercenary Sea Kings, they are a
ground force enemy only, they have no air cover, so the navy
will tear them a new asshole and we will rule the air."
The Marines nodded.
"All right, lets get it done!"
The meeting broke up as the various officers moved to brief
their men.
Unknown Military Airfield somewhere in the former United States.
A large black aircraft sat on the runway, with no markings and
all most people could tell, it was a C-17. A large group of men
and women were in th back, the plane itself under armed guard.
"Ok boys, standard stuff, POW recovery of 17 Marines and Sailors
held captive in an old mine, they do have armour in the area, so
will have CAS on station the entire time, we can expect
explosives, both tripwire, or remote detonated. The navy has
electronic warfare aircraft over the country, which should rule
out any remote explosives or IEDs. I'll leave it up to the team
leaders to discuss your plan of attack, dismissed."
The group broke up, the only indication of the origin of the
plane and the men inside was a small dark gray Canadian flag on
the vest of one of the Men.

Frank Willis compiled his list and called the 35 men over the
Tannoy (Speaker System) all skills ranging from Snipers, EOD
(Explosive Ordnance Disposal), Interrogation, Torture, Trackers
and Negotiators to deal with the other forces that could be seen
invading Mercury.
"Looks like they pissed a lot of people off" Frank said to
himself as he waited for the men
The Men ran from the Living Quarters Plant to the HQ Plant where
Frank was waiting by a Merlin AW101 in the Helipad with a pilot
already inside

"The fools of Mercury attacked us, lets hit 'em back, there are
other forces invading the Island, they are to be regarded as
friendlies unless they show otherwise, let's go!" Frank shouted
as he jumped onto the Helicopter.
Once everyone was on board the doors were closed and the
Helicopter lifted off and headed towards Mercury. The letters

Michael Perein burst through the doors of the Council chambers.
All of the Erebrisian Leagues 120 other elected members sat
arrayed in the circular chamber before him. It was winter, and
dark. Perein stopped and stripped off his gloves and mask before
he even uttered a word, leaving the councilmen staring
impatiently. It was his Co-Premier, Ian Kelly, who spoke first.
"Perein. What news from Scott?" He inquired, as Michael took his
seat next to him.
"A patrol ship and a frigate were sunk. The Ballarat and the
Vigilant." He said, relay the information given to him by one of
the Commando Companies based out of Scott.
"By god! Not the Ballarat! That was the heart and soul of the
Fleet!" One of the councilmen exclaimed.
"The loss of the Ballarat dose not matter, it was on it's last
legs and soon would have been beyond repair." Another retorted.
"More importantly... How many lives were lost Perein?" Kelly
asked.
"No bodies have been recovered yet. But there are almost a
hundred missing, presumed dead." Michael explained, as it was
met with gasps and sighs. "We have no evidence of who carried
out the attack. However, the only nation capable of reaching
Antarctica by such small craft is Mercury. We already know they
are globally hostile, with their crusadist nature and policies."
It would not be long before the council erupted into fierce
debate.
One councilman began;"Well... I believe the necessary course of
action is clear. We launch an assault against them! We need to
show the world that Erebus is capable of retaliating to these
kinds of attacks! We need to flex our mu-"
"Launch a military strike! You must be mad! We can't send our
citizens to die because a few rusty tubs were lost! The fleet
doesn't even operate under our command" Another retorted.
"It's not about a 'few rusty tubs'! It's about those sailors who
lost their lives because some mad man on a tropical island
decided that bomb them!" The first one said.
"Gentlemen please, before this gets out of hand! I believe that
military action against Mercury is necessary, in order to
prevent another attack. They are already having problems with
the Canadians. I believe it would be prudent to strike now. I
suggest that we call together the Fleet. They can transport a
few commando companies, we be landed with supplies and carry out
a short term raiding campaign. We will also remove their
"messiah", they will then see scene and not trouble us again."
Perein said. "I request a Mandate of Command for a period of two
months, or until the Council sees fit to revoke it."
"I agree with my Co-Premier," said Kelly, following Michaels
request. "A short term action against the nation of Mercury. We
can have the fleet remain on standby, to evacuate the force
should casualties reach a cap...let's say three hundred? When
his Mandate expires the force will come home." Some members of
the council nodded in agreement, shock their heads or or merely
frowned at the executives. Kelly turned to Michael, "leave this
with me. I will get you the Mandate."
***
With twenty-four hours, Michael Perein, Co-Premier of Erebus and
now, Commander of the Antarctic Volunteer Force, sat in the back
of a C-17 Globemaster, along with a company of Commandos and
their gear, on their way to Scott. Waiting for them, were
another three companies from all across the continent, and five
ships of the Erebrisian Fleet; The Orcus (A Type-45 Destroyer),
the Concordia (An ANZAC Class Frigate), the Aurora (A Hobart
Class Destroyer), the Penguin (An Armadale Class Patrol Boat)
and the Iceburg (A civilian freighter converted into a
transport). They would set sail for South America as soon as
possible, but it would take them a few days.

Governor-General Clark looked at the men and women around the
table. They had just finished the briefing on the terrorist
attack on the BP platform. Having listened to the briefing and
available options, he made up his mind. “Set Security to Orange.
Immediately run all personnel in Region IV territory through
facial recognition and match them to their RFID chips and
locations. Arrest anyone that fails to match or are identified
in unauthorized locations.”
After a brief pause he looked to the USCG Commander “Increase
our internal and external patrols. Ensure that sonar network is
fully operational as well as the sea search radars. Put two
COINS aircraft up on CAP and have two aircraft on five minute
ready alert.”
“I have contacted the skipper of the USS Georgia SSBN and
authorized a thermobaric strike with bunker buster missiles on
the identified subterranean HQ of the Island nation of Mercury.
I have also ordered a SOG team to pursue the path of our
attackers and eliminate their points of contact with extreme
prejudice.”
“Hopefully this show of force will cause others to take pause
before attacking Region IV again. Our ability to respond is
small and growing smaller daily. Thank you, now carry out your
assignments.”
Elsewhere…
BP oil platform 421 leaning precariously at 30 degrees has
several skimming drones swirling in the water below it. Two
large crane ships one originally from Norway the other from the
US have pulled alongside and started work on repairing the rig
and getting it operational. One short range Coast Guard Cutter
continues to make a slow orbit around the ships.

In Rodger Wilcox's underground bunker Rodger Wilcox, Gerald
Green (The man in the suit), Moe and the 50 Mercenaries were
dining on Roasted Pork, mashed potatoes, baby carrots, roasted
Pheasant Broccoli and parsnips with vintage wine
Gerald wiped his mouth with his napkin "so do you have an escape
route for if the Canadians get this far?" Gerald inquired
"No I don't, for we will not need one the gods spared our land
from the savage waters because my faith was strong, my faith has
only grown in strength. So I'm certain he will protect us again
from this threat as well" Rodger said calmly in his
authoritative voice and began drinking his wine from a chalice
made of solid gold obviously looted from a church.
50 Mercury Radicals ran down into a storage bunker and came up
with RPG-7s and ducked into the grass waiting.

The USS Georgia ran up its signal mast as it sailed south.
"COMS, Skipper, incoming Emergancy Action Message." The
commanding officer left the bridge as the XO called out
executive officer has the con. In the radio room just aft of the
bridge the skipper took the EAM to the code book and started
translating the message codes. Everything checked out, a new
action message this one from Colorado Command, HQ of the new
United States.
The EAM was brief and to the point "Canadian Forces conducting
operations on Mercury Island...break...firing orders rescinded
by Presidential Authority...break...return to patrol zone and
continue war time patrol...over."
Elsewhere....
The Governor-General hung up the phone, then addresed the Coast
Guard Commander in the room with him. "The Canadian's have the
Mercury mission, the missile strike was cancelled. We are still
a green light to back track and eliminate all 'agencies' that in
any way supported the attack on 421. Security rounded up 20
personnel who failed the scans yesterday. Three were faulty RFID
chips. Eight were in unauthorized locations but legal residents,
they are being prosecuted as we speak. The remaining nine
represented another mercury team of four people they are are
being interrogated for more information now. Two were illegal
aliens and were executed. Three appear to be foriegn spies and
are being harshly interrogated as we speak.

The D.I Merlin approached the Mercury coastline from the west
"Mercury coastline in sight" The pilot shouted back, Frank
opened his eyes and did a final check of his weapons and
equipment and the others did the same.
Frank then closed his eyes and sat back against the side of the
Helicopter again waiting for touch down

[center]Punitive Actions[/center]
[hr]
The SEAL team approached the coast of Mexico. Spies had
determined that the village they were approaching had provided
fuel, food and supplies to the terrorists from Mercury.
Furthermore they were responsible for local pirate activity.
The silent motors were turned off as the boats rushed up onto
the sand. Several sailors at the front pulled the boats further
up as the SEALs jumped out of the boat. Leaving one man behind
to guard the boat the others spread out and moved up to the
village. The village was illuminated in green through the men’s
LI goggles. They could see several drunks in the dirt and a few
guards strolling lackadaisically through the town and two more
in a watch tower.
“Oscar Three Bravo to Echo Six Mike, target the tower with your
snipers. Echo Five Charlie take your fire team to the north and
remove the guards. Echo Six Romeo move your team into the
village remove the drunks then sit the demo charges to all the
buildings. Echo Six Papa place the mines on the pirate ships and
fuel storage. Echo Six Lima you have over watch. All units move
in two minutes”
Carlos was just getting a hit off of Jesus joint when a bullet
entered his head right between the eyes. Jesus flipped backwards
to the floor of the tower as a bullet entered his right eye.
Juan and the other three guards reached the edge of town, he
sent two men around the east and took the other man to the west.
As they skirted the edge of their village he didn’t hear the
SEALs step out of the darkness. He did feel the hand over his
mouth as a blade opened his throat from ear to ear. His partner
fared no better as a blade made multiple entries into his lower
back slicing his kidneys, the descending iliac arteries,
intestines, stomach and diaphragm. He quickly bled out as he was
lowered into the shadows. The two men heading east feared no
better with no time to hear the silent click or the pfft as
subsonic bullets exited the silencers at near point blank range
into their heads.
Echo Six Mike and Echo Six Charlie took up over watch as Echo
Six Romeo’s team moved into the village. The occasional chatter
of the silenced MP5SD3 SMG’s marked another possible pirate
eliminated.
The clock moved slowly as Oscar Three Bravo observed his team at
work. Clicks came over his earpiece as tasks were completed.
Finally Echo Six Papa signaled the completion of mining the
ships and fuel storage. Last came Echo Six Romeo. “All units
fall back to the boats.”
As the Raider boats moved out into the gulf they were met by Sea
Foxes, the raider boats ran up the back and were stored. On the
horizon the night let up with multiple explosions as the village
and its ships and fuel exploded into flames.
On Deck Oscar Three Bravo met with Oscar Four November, “We have
indications the terrorist conducted a stop in the Venezuelan sea
stead #246 ran by a drug cartel. Here is the data chip study it
come up with a plan and we will meet tomorrow night to review
it.
