Letter from the Byzantine Emperor to the Red Patriarch
Message to his Holiness the Red Patriarch from the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, from his palace in Constantinople, Nova Roma, New Rome, Heraclius IV
To His Holiness, I, the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, views the recent events and instances of religious fanaticism involving Red Technocracy troubling. I do not view these incidents with favour, and I urge you to ensure that your flock understand this. The Empire has suffered from bouts of religious fanaticism before, and we do not look kindly on the occurrence of such incidents. The Nestorian heresy, and the Iconoclasm was extremely damaging to the Empire. For the followers of the Orthodox Catholic Church to take up arms against his fellow man, just because he is an "infidel", goes against the core tenets of our religion. Which part of "Thou shalt not kill" does your followers not understand? I strongly urge you to educate your flock on this issue, and to bring that ship back to Red Technocracy as soon as possible. I look forward to your favourable reply.
Heraclius IV, Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Letter from the Byzantine Emperor to the Patriarch of Terra Libertia
Message to his Holiness the Patriarch of Terra Libertia from the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, from his palace in Constantinople, Nova Roma, New Rome, Heraclius IV
I welcome you brother to the Orthodox Catholic Church, but I view your recent statements some degree of alarm. I would like to remind you of the History of the Eastern Roman Empire where we were nearly torn asunder by the Nestorian heresy, and the Iconoclasm. I am in the process of dealing the indiscretions of my spiritual advisor, who Ecumenical Patriarch and should be sending you a letter soon. Be warned that you should not expect any aid from us should you pursue a religious war. I say now to you, as a fellow brother in the Orthodox Church, that it is against the core tenets of our religion to wage war against our fellow man. Christ did not die for us on the cross just so that we can stain his banner with the blood of those who choose not to follow him.
Be warned that should you choose to pursue this course of fanaticism, I would have the Ecumenical Patriarch declare you anathema. I assume you understand the full meaning of the word and I am sure that you would pursue the proper course of action, and to advice the flock from Red Technocracy to return to their homes.
Brother, we are happy to aid you with medicine, vaccines and food. But we cannot condone defiling the banner of Christ with blood.

The Court of St Eustice Announces New Royal Visits Forthcoming
The official spokesman for the Court of St Eustice and His Imperial Supremacy today indiacted that the royal personage would be embarking on a multi-national tour as part of his service as the First Administrator of the MESS and de facto vice-president. The spokesman confirmed that King Andreneas II would be visiting with all MESS member nations, including Adrianpolis the newest member to re-inforce the intra-MESS free trade zone. The visit schedule for non-member nations has yet to be confirmed but speculaiton already exists that he will join the delegation already in Byzantium negotiating trade agreements with the government there. MESS Bureau of Customs Enforcement officials could not be reached for comment however several unnamed sources within the Bureau confirm that international trade specialistswill be joining the King on his tour.
Word about destinations within either FUN or OMSK, aside from Byzantium, are apparently still waiting confirmation from the host nations as to their readiness to accept the royal visit. The Court's spokesman, however, seemed highly confident that a fair representation of naitons would be included. The Court has stressed that under no circumstances will the visit include any discussions with or in regards to Libertopia or Saddamistan. They stress that the mission is both one of goodwill and of principally economic focus.

A letter from the Red Patriarch to the Emperor of Byzantium
Greetings, Your Grace, and be assured that the Unified Orthodox Church fully shares your views.
Never in recent history have we incited, or supported a war of agression. Never have we broken off religious fellowship, or tried to institute autocephaly.
Instead, dwelling ever in divine will, we have only blessed a handful of our flock for pilgrimage to the holy places of Orthodox faith in the perilous Libertian lands.
What is clear to us, is that shall Warrior-Patriarch Ramsley forget the commandments of God and attack his neighbor, no longer he shall be a Defender of the Faith, but an attacker, a murderer, and God does not love such. However, the faithful remain steadfast, and it is clear Lord Ramsley remains in communion, and takes all advice from the Archierei of the Unified Orthodox Church, and most of all the Ecumenical Patriarch.
It must come to your attention, Your Grace, that mercenaries have openly attacked the faithful flock in our nations, and we are merely defending our strongholds.

Letter from the Emperor of Byzantium to the Red Patriarch.
To his Holiness the Red Patriarch, I am elated to learn that you understand the dangers of fanaticism and that you understand that Patriarch Ramsley must be held accountable to his actions.
We note also the situation in Terra Libertia is perilous. While we understand that there are holy places in Terra Libertia, we advise that your flock avoid visiting that area until the situation has stabilised. Diplomatic relations between OMSK and MESS has been uneasy in the past few years with much lingering suspicion.
I also understand, that all semblance of a truce in Terra Libertia is now void given that Alexander has employed a mercenary army to do his bidding. I will enter a conference with the rest of OMSK to see what can be done to stabilize the situation on Terra Libertia.
Your Grace, I beg forgiveness if I appear irresolute. There is a lot of inertia to avoid getting entangled with Terra Libertia, and many powers regard even the most innocent of help with suspicion. There are other matters at stake, and I am doing my best to avoid war.
Heraclius IV, Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Shepnukistani Times
Several small flashes and one huge flash; plus giant mushroom cloud far to the north of Shepnukistan in the Great Northern Sea is "Completely Normal"; according to Shepnukistani Defense Department Officials.
As part of Shepnukistani's ongoing nuclear weapons development program; the Echo series of tests were carried out today, north of Shepnukistan. Earlier this day, several SRAM-Os and one Mark Seven device were loaded onto a specially modified B-1C in preparation for Echo.

After ensuing via satellite surveillance that no craft of any kind were in the target area; the word was given for takeoff from Andrews Air Force Base.

At approximately 1200 hours ZULU, the word was given to begin Operation NUKE THE OCEAN by President Sheppard; who was on the edge of the target area in the RSS Observer, a heavily modified commercial freighter turned into a control ship.

After executing a successful mock penetration of hostile airspace and successfully launching it's SRAM-Os against mock air defense targets; the Mark Seven device was dropped against a simulated hostile urban area.
Results far exceeded expectations.

My fellow Nukistanis; at 9 AM Nukistani War Time, the first full up flight test of the PQM-183 aerial test vehicle was carried out. After successfully leaving the ground with the assistance of strap-on boosters; the test vehicle opened it's on-board nuclear reactor to the air and achieved a first in the long history of mankind - that of sustained nuclear powered flight. After flying for more than 1,500 miles on nuclear power and gathering invaluable data on airbreathing nuclear ramjets, the command was given for the vehicle to dive into the great northern ocean, disposing of the test vehicle in a safe and efficient manner.
My scientists insure me that there is little danger of residual radioactive contamination from the test vehicle's exhaust; and in any case; the future development of this technology has great potential for use as a single stage to orbit vehicle, making space access truly too cheap to meter. Thank you my fellow Nukistanis for your time.

Red Technocracy Navy tests "Orlyonok"
The Commitee for Defense has been running extensive trials of the first batch of 3 "Orlyonok" craft assembled at the BLACK SORMOVO facility. Those fast assault craft are made for the Red Technocracy Navy.
A special Ekranoplane Assault group is being formed within RTN, with it's Naval base in Korolev.
- The dawn of a new age is upon us, - said Rostislav Alexeev, the shadowy chief of the Black Sormovo factory. - I am greatly satisfied with our machines gaining ground as the best fast-attack craft. We have made them to surpass even hydrofoils in speed, and be able to come across protected shores, by flying up to 2000 m like a plane would be able to.
The Black Sormovo currently has 3 assembly lines devoted to construction of "Orlyonok" airframes, and is building the 4th.
- All international deliveries will come on time. Domestic defense, however, always holds priority, - spoke Alexeev at an informal tour of the Commitee for Defense officials across the city of Sormovo.

"What the bloody hell were they thinking?"
The King's advisors didn't really have a good answer to that question. The Royal Office fell silent for a few moments.
"All big nations have so far agreed to limit their actions in Libertopia and tread carefully",the Foreign Minister has finally decided to speak,"except those idiots from the Red Technocracy and their 'pilgrimage', things are quite restrained...ProTec could ruin that."
"Yes...if Ramsley responds to the raids, and he probably will, he will force the OMSK to either back him up or back down...and that means ProTec may have just started another round of civil war in Libertia.", said the head of the RIS
Everyone nodded, agreeing with the assessment.
"Very well. I want to send a strong message to ProTec that we will not tolerate such reckless actions. What can we do?"
"Revoke their license to operate in PeZookia and propose the rest of the FUN does the same."
"Good. Draft the necessary documents."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Astoria Evening News
Offices of His Majesty King Paul released the following statement concerning ProTec's recent raids in Terra Liberta:
"His Majesty's government condemns these reckless and irresponsile acts. ProTec, a private company, claimed to act on behalf of its clients and for the good of the international community, but their actions were anything but that.
ProTec's attack served only to instigate further violence and even more mistrust in the international community ; A likely consequence will be civil war in which innocent people will have to suffer and die. And, most likely, it will do little to stem the tide of piracy, which was successfully limited by increased naval patrols in the Central Sea.
It is His Majesty's opinion that such acts, especially done by private companies with no oversight and only caring about their own profits, must not be tolerated. Therefore, by royal decree, the II Republic of PeZookia no longer welcomes ProTec or its employees on our soil. ProTec's license to offer protection services in PeZookia has been revoked, as well as all PeZookian weapon permits granted to ProTec's employees.
We also urge all nations in the FUN to do the same. Who knows what other unilateral actions by ProTec will threaten international stability and humanitarian ideals the FUN stands for? They have already proved they will kill and maim if their clients demand it ; They must receive a strong message they cannot continue such activities and expect to get away with them."

The Sovereign Shroomanian Sentinel
MANGY MERCENARIES
The Sovereignty of Shroomania has echoed the statements of its allies in PeZookia by suspending the individual contracts ProTec employees had with Shroomanian-based ISCA offices.
The Indhopal-based private military company, ProTec, was contracted by the Shroomanian branch of the ISCA to provide security to its merchant vessels and protection from piracy. The contract, however, was not widely publicized and was done on an individual per-ship basis only, wherein ProTec provided men to ISCA vessels that requested security details.
"Shroomania is dedicated to the cause of humanitarianism, and so those who we deal with must also carry out their actions with discernment. We cannot be marred with guilt by association," the Shroomanian Minister of Information, Toadstool Tod, announced.
To fill up the vacuum left by the suspended ProTec operators, Shroomania has turned to its own fledgling PMC outfit composed of former Army soldiers. Due to the cutbacks in the Army, many former soldiers have found employment in the private sector.
ProTec employees will be replaced by former Shroomanian soldiers now working for the PMC known as DARK LIQUID.

"Shroomania is dedicated to the cause of humanitarianism, and so those who we deal with must also carry out their actions with discernment. We cannot be marred with guilt by association," the Shroomanian Minister of Information, Toadstool Tod, announced.
To fill up the vacuum left by the suspended ProTec operators, Shroomania has turned to its own fledgling PMC outfit composed of former Army soldiers. Due to the cutbacks in the Army, many former soldiers have found employment in the private sector.
ProTec employees will be replaced by former Shroomanian soldiers now working for the PMC known as DARK LIQUID.

Magalia Seaport, Freetown Port Authority District, Terra Libertia South-East, 6:00 PM
Heavy tropical rain fell on the scarcely asphalted track - a remainder from the days when this great nation was united and prosperous, until an economic crisis destroyed the foundations of peace, and an anarchist coup and rise to power plunged the great nation of Libertia into chaos and misery.
He remembered the days of old. When, in the chaos, the anarchists themselves fell victim to the Pandora box they opened - the slowly cut down state expenses and suddenly provincial regions were left to their own devices.
Slowly decaying infrastructure, food prices soaring since domestic agriculture was ruined, hunger, crime and war.
All this he saw as a child. All this, he vowed to end for his people, the Libertian Slavs who constituted a large part of the nation's pre-war population. Fierce fighters for their homeland, they did not want to fall into the hands of islamist heretics, or the mountain-dwellers, and thus formed militias to defend their homeland and faith heritage. The local clergy, when the civil authorities fell down, became instrumental in coordinating the effort. Thus rose the Sons of the Faith, and the Lord Protector, newly christened Patriarch-Warrior. The war took a heavy toll on him; rising to power as a middle-aged cleric, his hair grew white stripes.
***
Earlier today, the crew of ODESSA, fully comprised of volunteer pilgrims, docked the ship in Magalia's dockyards and proceeded ashore, led by His Holiness. Rain was so heavy it covered the port's shantytowns in a shroud. At that gloomy hour, an ierei came running across the pier, waving a paper. He became more and more visible with each step on the wet pier.
- Thank God, you have returned, Your Holiness! - he cried from afar.
The priest's garb was wet in the rain, and he was himself crying, it seemed. He gave Ramsley a paper sealed in a plastic file...
***
And now Ramsley stood, shaken, over the bodies. Dead. His sailors. And Alexander dared to call them "pirates"! Pirates! Filthy scum! Those men were under Ramsley's control and their mission was not piracy, but intercepting the cargo ships travelling covertly between Ibrahim and Saddamistan, where Ibrahim got arms and supplies from. These people were heroes.
He served the requiem, and found himself to be crying too under the heavy rain.
- Bear now, bear now, brother, - spoke a soft voice at his side.
A shadowy figure in a nun's cloth approached from within the group of volunteers chosen to serve the requiem and bury the victims of the brutal privateer attack.
- Alexander is truly more vile than I ever thought. Not able to challenge us openly, like a man, he instead paid privateers, those merchants of death, servants of mammon, to kill my men. Am I supposed to...
- ...turn the other cheek here, brother. Both you and I know that the Tower of St. Basil has been given great blessings from the Holy Archierei. But you should not tempt God's Grace...
- God's Grace?! Or maybe the grace of His Holiness in Byzantium?
- Neither he, nor His Holiness Sergi have left you in the time of need. A great help came, and we are here now. Let us head to St.Basil's to pray for the souls of those dead today, and assemble the Clergy to ponder their canonisation as new martyrs.
Ramsley was shaken.
- Very well. This course is godly. One day God will smite the unrighteous, but the righteous shall rejoice for his martyrdom in heaven.
- Bear now, Your Holiness. Father Mikhail is waiting, and so are our men. We must come to St.Basils and confere with the faithful. We will see what the next day shall bring. All is within God's hands.
***
The road to St.Basils took a hour. Old, rusty buses went at low speeds, especially given the condition of roads. Eventually, the stronghold of Sons of the Faith was in full view.
St. Basil's monastery, the oldest known Orthodox holy place in Libertian Slav lands.
- Blessed be God, I officially welcome you, pilgrims, into the holy of holiest of Libertia! Let us build and teach in these lands, and bring peace, for the Lord dwells in peace.

ISCA BULLETIN
FY2010 budget approved!
With a majority member vote, the ISCA budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2010 has been approved.
This year's ISCA production plans are grand: the Agency will construct more than three megatonnes of shipping capacity (more than 50% more than last year!) for a total order value of 3.7 billion dollars. Included in these orders are several hospital ships, which will hopefully bring quality medical care to disenfranchised people of this world.
The R&D budget also contains some major projects to be completed by the end of the year: responding to demand from various countries, large and small, the ISCA shall design and begin production of a family of inexpensive patrol cutters, hydrofoils and gunboats, capable of effectively policing the waters of all nations.
Also, a completely new family of automated commerce vessels (ACV) is currently being developed: These ships will unify the features of the world-renowned FCS and utilize ground-breaking automation technology to further reduce crew loads and demand.
As a final strike, the ISCA will issue R&D contracts for a completely new family of cargo ships powered by nuclear reactors. These ships will be available for purchase after data collected by the NPS testbed is analyzed, and design work is completed.
To sum up, the following new ships will be entering production in FY2011:
ISCA Heavy Patrol Cutter Pr.2101
CG image of HPC Pr.2101 underway
This vessel is the heavyweight of ISCA's proposed coast guard cutter family. It is a medium-endurance, open-ocean capable vessel able to operate a single helicopter off its flight deck.
Equipped with modern communications equipment, infra-red detection systems, radars and sonar, the cutter can operate in all weather conditions. It is also equipped with a small on-board hospital, carrying equipment to treat hypothermia, lacerations, infections and gunshot wounds.
The HPC Pr.2101 is intended to serve as a base and co-ordinator of search and rescue efforts, pirate hunting patrols and relief missions. It can deal with any sea state and continue operating, and its helicopter hangar allows it to effectively cover a large search area.
Specifications:
Lenght: 122 meters
Beam: 12 meters
Draft: 6 meters
Displacement: 3 250 tons
Top speed: 29 knots
Armament:
2x 40mm autocannons
1x 76mm cannon
1x Ultrasonic "Pain Inducer"
1x ARENA anti-RPG defence system
Typical crew: 100-130 personnel, 20 marines with equipment
All weapons are remote controlled from the bridge. The bridge itself is equipped with armor capable of withstanding 12.7mm machine gun fire and shrapnel.
PRICE: 55 million USD
ISCA Light Patrol Cutter Pr.2102
CG image of LPC Pr.2102 underway
The LPC Pr.2102 is a light gunboat designed for rescue operations, pirate hunting, revenue collection and safety inspections. It is lightly armed, but still equipped with modern electronics and heavy enough armaments to deter any pirate ship.
Light and affordable, the Pr.2102 cutter can work in concert with naval ships or the HPC pr.2101 to effectively patrol large maritime areas.
Specifications:
Lenght: 30 meters
Beam: 6 meters
Draft: 2 meters
Displacement: 400 tons
Top speed: 32 knots
Armament:
1x 40mm autocannon
1x Ultrasonic "Pain Inducer"
2x 7.62mm machine guns
Carries a Zodiak-style boat.
Typical crew: 8-10 personnel and 5 marines with equipment
PRICE: 10 million USD
ISCA Light Patrol Hydrofoil Pr.2103
CG rendition of a Pr.2103 hydrofoil
The Pr.2103 light patrol hydrofoil is a coast-guard use fast hydrofoil equipped with light armament and top-of-the-line electronic equipment. It is designed to respond rapidly to any pirate incidents. Being first-on-the-scene, the Pr. 2103 hydrofoils are equipped to deal with initial threats by themselves. The ISCA recognizes that even if boarding has already taken place, a quick response can often mitigate the damage and deal with pirates without endangering the crew of an attacked ship.
This is why the Pr.2103 hydrofoil carries a huge array of detection gear, two pain-inducer nonlethal weapons and a full squad of Marines.
Specifications:
Lenght: 20 meters
Beam: 4 meters
Draft: ~1 meter when not on foils
Displacement: 150 tons
Top speed: 62 knots
Armament:
2x Ultrasonic "Pain Inducer"
2x 7.62mm machine guns
1x 12.7mm machine gun
Typical crew: 6-8 personnel and 10 marines with equipment.
PRICE: 5 million USD
Nuclear Passenger Ship
ISCA promotional image of the NPS
Long in the making, the NPS is the sign of a new era: the Atomic Age, where nuclear power generators provide cheap, clean energy for civilian use.
Powered by a pressurized water reactor developed jointly by Shroomanian and Shepnukistani engineers, the ship provides tremendous endurance on long trips, and sports cinemas, restaurants, bowling alleys, pools and various other amenities for its passengers. It sports a state-of-the-art communications and radar suite,and most refuse is recycled on-board thanks to an innovative close cycle waste reusal system.
A larger nuclear-powered cargo ship is also in development currently, based on the same hull.

The Sovereign Shroomanian Sentinel
ENTER EMPEROR
The Emperor of Byzantium's arrival was commemorated by an airshow courtesy of the aces of the SAF.
For the first time in history, the Emperor of Byzantium sets foot on Shroomanian soil and was personally greeted by Prime Minister Shroom the 777th, who will be his host for the duration of his visit.
Before getting into business, which involves the signing of the Free Trade Agreement, the two world leaders enjoyed the airshow put up by the Shroomanian Air Force. Afterwards, the two went on a quick tour of North Point, Shroomania, where the Prime Minister agreed to the Emperor's request for an impromptu visit to a particular historic site.
The Pristina Cathedral.
The Emperor surprised Shroomania's few but devout believers of the Orthodox Faith by visiting their most sacred shrine. After attending mass with the Prime Minister, the Emperor addressed the faithful with a message that warned against fanaticism and extremism while extolling the virtues of peace and tolerance, praising the Shroomanian Orthodox population's moderate stances on recent religious issues. The Emperor's message was no doubt partly a statement to the Patriarchs of the Red Technocracy, Terra Libertia, and the Byzantine Patriarch as well.
The Emperor and the Prime Minister have both stood against military intervention in Terra Libertia, and both have been wary of a potential religious war erupting between the various sects and faiths of Libertia.
Aside from signing the Free Trade Agreement, the Emperor and the Prime Minister are scheduled to visit ISCA shipyards and the Schrom Corp. 'Ghostworks' airbase to observe the first flights of several prototype aircraft. They are also expected to discuss future humanitarian relief efforts in Terra Libertia. As Byzantium is a member of the OMSK Pact and Shroomania is with the FUN, it will be one of the first of such international and inter-alliance dialogs into the Libertian issue.

H&M TV (Religious) The Great Bear Republic of Californication
The man was nicely dressed, his red vest over his white suit, the patch over his left eye had a Hammer of Thor Pin affixed to it. He was quite tall, well over two meters, though he seemed larger almost, his rugged looks exhibited a sort of charisma, that one would expect from a rock star or something. His long brown hair was streaked with grey turning to white, his clean and well combed and kept beard was almost all grey and white. Looking out over the assembled audiance he soaked in their adoration, and then he spoke, deep like a distant thunder.
"Our faith is under attack. Where are your livelyhood going?, where are the great jobs of the sea calling to us. Being stolen by Byzantine, and the Technocracy. Hughes now sells the hard work of your hands to the feckless Fungus. The children of Jormandgarm and Fenrir stalk the waters and the lands of our world. And the Mess allying with this dispicable tyrant Ramsey have taken the very name of our Sacred world."
"It is no longer Safe for the faithful here, for already the MESS has threatened to invade the Republic of Californication, if the Kangaroo court's persecution of our heros does not end as they desire! I call on all faithful Norse to resist these forces, but we must also embark on diplomacy and trade before we embark on Ragnorak! The Ravens of the All Father have spoken to me. I shall travel to the kingdom of the Sultan, and arrange for a trading port, close to where we may strike at the dogs serving Ramsley, and our Fallen shall come to Vallhalla, while theirs shall rot in Midgar, denied even Hel's cold comfort!"

"It wouldn't be Monday if the OMSK Pact wasn't spewing radioactive garbage into the atmosphere." Lonestar muttered.
"Uhm," the Chief of Staff looked at his watch. "It's Wednesday."
"Fine. Whatever." Lonestar tossed the report on his desk, then turned to the Secretary of Energy. "Well?"
"Well, what? Our own Nuclear Salt Rocket is proceeding on schedule, but I was under the impression that it would only be used for space travel." McDermott said.
"It will, I'm not planning on releasing massiive amounts of superheated steam into the atmosphere. Our own NSWR will be attached to the Hermes Probes." Lonestar leaned back. "This is the second time the Shepnukistanis have ejected radiation into the atmosphere and the OMSK Pact has shrugged and done nothing. I'd like a statement to that effect put out."
"It'll be out within the hour." SECSTATE Mironov "Hopefully it won't screw with our other pursuit."
"You ever send that invitation out?"
"Yep, just waiting on a response."
Lonestar nodded. "Anything else?"
There murmers of "no" until SECDEF DiBacco spoke. "We're going to need a replacement for the AAVs, their performance was subpar during our little excursion." DiBacco produced a binder of powerpoint slides. "The Joint Chiefs want to aquire about 80 or so EFVs. I recommend we issue a bidding contract."
"Make it so."
"It wouldn't be Monday if the OMSK Pact wasn't spewing radioactive garbage into the atmosphere." Lonestar muttered.

There murmers of "no" until SECDEF DiBacco spoke. "We're going to need a replacement for the AAVs, their performance was subpar during our little excursion." DiBacco produced a binder of powerpoint slides. "The Joint Chiefs want to aquire about 80 or so EFVs. I recommend we issue a bidding contract."
"Make it so."
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

OMSK Pact statement on the Shepnukistan Nuclear Test, Echo series
Approximately 97% of the total energy of thermonuclear devices of such class result from fusion alone, making it one of the cleanest, fallout-wise, bombs in service.
Compared to the crude fusion devices the MESS use, which generate a lot more fallout each per explosion, not to mention very dirty fission devices.
PRAVDA: Red Patriarch receiving invitations from Lonestar Republic to visit the Orthodox minorities
The Patriarchy has been preparing for a visit, and today the Patriarch departed for Lone Star Republic on a passenger jet flight.
- We cannot forget the little ones in other nations, - he said, according to the news correspondents.
It seems that a "thaw" is rising in relations between Lone Star and the Red Technocracy. A new embassy building is rumored to be soon opened in the Red Technocracy's capital:

Austin Republican
Secretary of State Mironov welcomes Red Patriarch
Secretary of State Mironov welcomed the Red Patriarch to Austin today, taking him on a tour of the city and to the largest Russian Orthodox Church in the country, the Holy Virgin Cathedral. The Secretary of State is a member of the Orthodox Church of Texas, the ecumenical organization that is the "umbrella" for the various Orthodox demoniations in the Lone Star Republic.
"The Lone Star Republic is a diverse nation of many faiths and creeds." Secretary Mironov said at the airport. "We are honored to have His Holiness visit us."

"So President Rufus, I understand you have some concerns about ProTec's activities in Libertopia. First I'd like to assure you that all of ProTec's actions have been legal and in the best interests of our clients and the international community. After all, our objective is to shut down the pirates."
"By damn near igniting a civil war," Rufus said. "PeZook has it right: we're dealing with the pirates on international waters. Going into Libertia for anything other than strictly controlled hostage rescue operations is counter-productive. And even those missions are fraught with hazard.
"Libertia is in a delicate balance. We're working on economic and humanitarian measures to bring some stability. Your 'contractors' are outside military forces, working for one warlord, striking at another warlord. That is extremely destablizing and puts in jeopardy our plans to assist them. They already don't trust us; ProTec striking targets on behalf of a warlord doesn't help.
"I would advise you in the strongest personal terms to keep an extremely tight leash on your people down there. Hiding behind the mantle of a 'private corporation' will only protect you so far. And I would also advise you to not send tactical jet aircraft down there. That would be a huge force disbalance and highly destabilizing, given the tremendous force disparity that would represent. Your prop aircraft were bad enough."

Constantinople Times
The Emperor visits Shroomia
The Emperor visited Shroomia and toured the country together with Prime Minister Shroom the 777th. They both signed an FTA which was a landmark agreement allowing Byzantine and FUN companies to do business in their respective countries. "Byzantium has many companies, such as Hippocrates Pharmaceuticals, Byzantium Aeronautics, Byzantium Telecom and many other companies who would be eager to do business in FUN." says the Emperor.
Visiting a Church, the Emperor warned Orthodox Catholics against the dangers of fanaticism and religion intolerance. "Christ did not die on the cross just so we can go around and burn people who we deem to be heretics or infidels." says the Emperor.
Meanwhile, the Ecumenical Patriarch was giving a similar sermon in the Hagia Sophia.

Military Police Raid Midport Helm
[img=right]http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/1510 ... 532gh4.jpg[/img]
[Midport] The Military Police Southern Company ("Nighthawks") raided the Midport Helm of the Five Seas Gang last night and successfully arrested the Helmsman, X.L. Hong. In the action, 2 Nighthawks were killed in action while 3 were injured. Mostly due to a suicidal bomb attack while the Company was retreiving Hong.
The Midport Helm was very unique and unusual in many ways. There was no Guan Di shrine, instead, there was a small, Islamic worshipping hall. Also, the gangsters seemed to be well trained in small arms fire, and most of them carried suicidal pills the size of the tip of a ball point pen. The Commander of the Nighthawks refused to comment on this oddity.
==============================
Presidential Office
"Our boys found this in at least 3 out of 10 of their men......" The Commander of the Military Police showed the president a copy of items confiscicated.
Photos of the Bright Star Pastor.
"Extremely odd indeed, Ibrahim is unlikely to work with a heretic, but the presence of these cultists truly disturbs me."

"President Rufus, I understand your concerns. This could have been avoided if you had let our representatives at the international confernce know of them. We held a meeting in which we let your spymaster, and many others, know about the pirate bases in Libertopia, and what we intended to do about them if no nation intrevened. No one objected to our plans until after they were completed.
That said sir, we are now withdrawing our strike aircraft, their mission completed. Our advisers and helicopters remain, as we have commitments to General Alexander. Our men and machines will not venture from Alexander's territory. You also don't need to worry about them. They are professionals who understand the complexities of the situation quite well. And who would be in a vetter place to cool Alexander's temper then the men right at his side?"
President Raj Ahten spoke the truth. The ProTec strike aircraft had already begun to be withrawn; the first pair was scheduled to be taken out of the country in the next 12 hours.

New Delphi, Airfield District, Terra Libertia East, Alexander's domain. 3:00 AM
Darkness surrounded the badly-maintained airstrip and the control tower, covered in bullet marks and lacking windows.
Truly Libertia has known the horrors of war. It is here people say "Only the dead have seen the end of war", and that is true, thought a man under a dark cape.
Another lie beside him in the shadows.
- So you have everything prepared? We can't avoid the moment, else we'd search them for years afterwards!
- There are trucks heading there for the last half-an-hour. The mercenaries are flying their planes away.
- How are Paul and Peter?
- They have communicated by flashlight through the fence. They are in, and planted the bombs.
- Very well, - spoke a soft female voice from the darkness. - Signal them that "Operation God's Wrath" is greenlighted. What else do they signal?
A soldier packing crates from the truck and into the plane suddenly turned to the fence and made a few moves with his flashlight. To the personnel, that looked like he's surveying the area.
- Damnation! Peter says we are late. It seems that two of his planes have left the nation, and their pilots as well, as well as some of the assault airborne personnel he used in the operation.
- Godly retribution will find them all, sister.
- I wouldn't be so sure, brother. The airstrip Alexander granted to ProTec is a simple target to look for - there's few airfields in Libertia at all, and yet less such that could support operations at range-bleeding against southern port towns like Freetown or Magalia; but people, whose names we don't know and whereabouts are hidden between 7 layers of mercenary secrets.
- Do we greenlight to get at least some of those butchers?
- Yes.
A flash of light has caught the eye of Peter. He only thought to be worthy of being brave, like his namesake Apostle was.
***
Chandrasekhar was readying his bird for takeoff.
He was eager to get back home. Apparently some mischief happened over their southern raid in the higher circles of The Firm, as he reverently called the defense corporation.
The turboprops hummed, and he started turning around to the airstrip.
Suddenly, a flash of light, bright, erupted on the right. And a sound of thunder.
Chandrasekhar watched in awe as the yet-loaded Leisure Vishnu exploded whilst being loaded. But in a second, his own plane was engulfed in a sea of fire.
***
3 hours later.
The smoke rose high from the airfield.
- Blessed be God, Amen. Blessed be the martyrs, Amen.
Mikhail leaned to the ground and closed the eyes of Paul.
- I still can't believe that Paul... Why Paul! Of all men, my kinsman, my brother! - Peter cried out. - May your life in heaven be a reward for the worldly suffering.
- We must hurry to St. Basils, brothers, and report that "Wrath of God" phase 1 is completed with success, but some of those guilty in the deaths of our brothers in the Lord are still there, - spoke Peter.
