“Members of the court we have shown records of Isao Nakazawa’s involvement with Kokuryu-kai. He did this of his free will and to take over as the leader here on Nijero. We have presented evidence of both he and members of his family giving sanctuary to the Kokuryu-kai, who are listed a terrorists by the Combine, gave them places to stage raids here on Nejiro. They both looked to place themselves above out laws.” Walking back to the bench. “They show no respect for Nijero and the laws we have by making threats to all that are taking part in this court. Now that the law is in the way of personal gain they look to stop the law by making threats of physical harm to any who would make hold them accountable for the actions we have shown they did.”
“Please you are using items that are made up. The forces that attacked Nakazawa Shiro are the true bandits and the defenders of Nakazawa lands are being made to be the bandits. Lord Nakazawa hired forces to defend Nijero and his lands due to the raids that the Government could not or would not stop. This matter is a farce set in motion by people that are only looking to protect the positions they now hold.”
“Please many of these so-called defense force members are members of the Kokuryu-kai. This group has attacked the government of the Draconis Combine, we here on Nijero have strong ties with the Combine and would not harbor people that are criminals of that realm. As for made up evidence we had no need. In his hurry to save his own skin the defendant did not destroy this and other items that show just how self-centered he is.”





“Adept do you have any idea who that force that raided the plant by Yousai was?”
“No sir, they did have equipment that our IFF’s picked up as friendly but they are not any of ours.”
“I will have my S2 look into this. Please have your S2 keep looking in to this as well. You will keep you forces on alert to be safe.”
“Yes Sir!”
“Have your S2 make sure his reports go to my S2 as well.”
“Yes Sir!”
“I also want some of our people to confirm that the GSF took prisoners. We may have a problem if they did.”





“Precentor, should I have your dress uniform readied for the upcoming presentation for Yasha Saganami.”
“Not for this. I think I will go in the Kimono that I used for the winter events. Let my security team know they are to dress the same.”
“Yes sir.”





“Tai-sa, will you be in dress uniform or Kimono for the young masters’ presentation?”
“Dress uniform. As part of the DCMS on world it is the only proper way. Make sure that my security team understands that it is class A for the event. I will inform the other commanders.”
“Hai Tai-sa!”
“Ian you will please inform all of the personal that will be going to Yasha’s Presentation that the uniform of the day is full dress.”
“Hai Tai-sa.”
“You too.”
“Sir?”
“As my XO you have to be on hand too.”
“HAI, SIR!”





“Sir I have the tailor here to spruce up your tux for the upcoming presentation event.”
“Thank you I had forgotten it is only a few weeks off” Nicolas thanks his office manager. “Please have Kent see him as well. He will also need to have something as he will be part of my security.”





69/04/31
With a resounding thud on the table. “Well this is the last of the applications. I think we have about 10,000 from all the mail bags.”
“Now we need to see who gets what from the funds.”





“I have more reports on how the Pegasus people are doing.”
“So how are things going for them?”
“So far the ones that are with the GSF and Militia are doing fine. They have settled in somewhat and working hard in the jobs they have. The Docs have been checking on them and they are doing …. well better than the Docs figured. They are kind of at home. The ones that are with the ComGuard are doing well from what we can see and have been told. The others are working to find how they will settle in here. The area we are setting up for them is coming along and it should be finished in a few months.”

                                                                                    Quotable 

Have you seen an Abrams MBT? Well, you could roll one right to a 'Monster' mecha so that the barrel of its gun is almost touching, fire off a round, and it might scratch it, maybe. The round certainly wouldn't penetrate, never mind destroy the mecha. Meanwhile the two machine guns on the 'Tomahawk' mecha could shred said tank, while a shot from one of the cannons would just vaporize it.   

dialog from Captain Ken McIntyre, played by Yudai Chiba in Ship of the Line - live action sci-fi movie first in the Protoculture Wars expanded universe produced by Natsutochi Studios {summerland}, Haretani {sunnyvale}, Baja, Nejiro 2963

                                                                                 Quotable 

Hacking is woman's work, women are more patient, detail oriented, and have an overall faster typing speed. On average that makes women better hackers than men.

                                                                                  Quotable   

It is a warrior's duty to protect the weak. A warrior has to be strong in order to do so. Seek therefore to better yourself. Never engage in frivolous fighting, for a battle must have purpose and worthiness. Be true to one another, for you are brothers in arms. Those who are true to one another can move mountains. Brothers in arms do not desert each other in the face of battle. No God, man, or ideal that is unworthy is worth following. Your fealty is the highest you can offer. Make sure its recipient is worthy of that honor.   

                                                                                                        Priya, Goddess of War     

the statue of the deity and the quotation plaque below it is located in the Honor Garden at the Akai Yoake Military Academy

“GSF command to Sergeant Major Wynch. Satellite surveillance picked up the three raider ‘Mechs that are moving south south-east if you move north-east you just maybe able to intercept them.”
Looking over his maps. “Roger command we are moving out.”


“OK people we have our orders, let’s get moving.”
“I will not be of much us at Crow’s Eye can only do just over 60kph. I cannot keep up with you and the others.”
“You will not have to. Check your maps, about 150 klicks from here is some heavy woods. We will try and push them in to those woods with you inside them.”
“OK that sounds good. But that Locust is very fast.”
“We will do what we can. The Blizzard and infantry will stay close in case we get lucky and drop one of them.”
“If they are a team then they will move at the speed of the Mongoose as that is the slowest of them.”
“Right 120+ kph and that is the slow one, great.”
“Keep it down, we have a good chance as they have to deal with the river at a couple of points and that will slow then down as none jump.” Wynch checking over the map. “Fuka keep it max and you will be at the woods when we push them that way.”
“I will do my best.”
“OK so from this point keep the comms chatter to an absolute minimum. No need to let them know we are on to them.”

“OK so from this point keep the comms chatter to an absolute minimum. No need to let them know we are on to them.”

Fuka split off from the Regulators and the Blizzard and headed in the direction of the forest, toggling her jump jets for easy activation.  Once she was inside, the jump jets would provide her only movement-based advantage over the speedier light 'Mechs once they entered.  The good thing was that the enemy would be just as limited in their line of sight in heavy woods as anyone else, herself included.  However, that was fine, as pulse lasers needed to be close in to be most effective.  The combination of said pulse lasers along with an LB-X autocannon would end up being nightmare fuel to the raiders as they tried to push past her.  It was a good plan, so long as the enemy fell for it.

Charles Wynch, Edward Kenning and Sam Kwan continued at max speed toward the 'Mechs.  They couldn't outpace the Locust, which had to be an advanced variant (Charles figured he'd ask Fuka which one if they managed to drop it), but they could catch the Mongoose eventually as well its other companion.  They had the firepower advantage, now they just had to run their prey into Crow's Eye and the enemy would be caught in the pincers.

“What the ….. how did they get here?”
“I don’t know but that was way to close.”
“Move it people those Regulators will drop any of us if we are hit.”


“Good shot Sarge!”
“Well it got them moving in the right direction anyway.” Wynch looking at the Hermes he just missed. “You know it is harder to miss when you are trying to. That shot was way closer then I wanted.”
“Don’t want them to know how good we are?” Kenning smiles as he watches the raiders swing to the west. “Dropping just one out here will not do us all that much after all.”
“So when we get near the woods we drop the hammer?” Sergeant Kwan asks.
“You got it. With all three of us and Fuka we should take a couple if not all three.”
“So as long as they think we cannot hit them they think they are safe.”
“That is the plan. Fuka get ready we will be at you poz in 2 mikes.”
“Roger that.” Fuka gets Crow’s Eye into the edge of woods and drops to low power.


“Kenning let’s see if you and I can slow that Locust down. Kwan the Mercury is yours. Fuka play with the Hermes and we will deal with him if you don’t drop him.”

Trojan class dropship (blockade runner) max carry weight 1550 tonnes plus six passenger cabins 


Nejiro planetary population approximately 37.8 million, plus another 2.9 million in the stellar system


Nejiro Ports (planetary) handle approximately eight hundred and sixty million tonnes of cargo annually. 
Over eighty percent of Nejiro shipping travels over water. 
Railways on Nejiro move approximately one hundred million tonnes annually.
Air cargo on Nejiro handles approximately two million tonnes annually.
The stellar system ships around two billion tonnes of cargo (metals and minerals, water ice, agriculture, manufactured goods, electronics, clothing and textiles, machinery, artisan handcrafts, art and media) annually.

There are approximately thirty three thousand cargo/freight/container ships operating in Nejiro waters (inland waterways, canals, rivers, lakes, and oceans which cover more than eighty three percent of the planet) including independents.
There are about seven hundred thousand trucks across Nejiro, of which four hundred seventy five thousand are used to carry freight for intermodal commerce, the remainder can be found in the hands of the military, government, construction and maintenance companies, utility companies, farmers, tradespeople, digital nomads, livery drivers and chauffeurs, commuters, and leisure drivers.
Nejiro truck production is more than triple motorcycle and auto production. Pickups, off road vehicles, all terrain vehicles, utility vehicles (utes), coupe utility, and roadsters make up most of the sales in the auto industry after commercial trucks and vans, heavy trucks, and motorhomes - followed by motorcycles, scooters, and electric bicycles, then fleet sedans, sport performance autos, and premium luxury autos. Most people use a train to travel almost everywhere, only the most highly populated metropolitan areas on Nejiro have suburbs to commute from (Yousai, Hilo, Leyte, Port and Lanikai) and even then most still use the railways to commute, and personal use autos are still considered a luxury item.

"Is all the fittings done?" Kiah askes as she enters her private quarters and looks to her Aunt as she hands her tablet to her personnel aide.

"Yes your body guards suites took longer than expected to ensure their movement is not impeded and your brother is going to be wearing a more traditional attire. He is a lot stronger I am happy to report he has started joining the morning exercise with the men." Laurel smiled "He is also coming out of his shell and is more like his old self."

"Well that is good news; I was worried i was pushing him to hard." Kiah crossed to the sideboard and poured herself a goblet of mead tilting the bottle in silent question to her Aunt who shook her head. Kiah stopped the flask and took her drink to the round fire place and sank down into the cushions. "I debated if I should go traditional or not but the gown that was proposed spoke to Me." she laughed and took a long swallow. "There will be many other opportunities to wear the traditional."

"Have you decided on the security for the event?"

"Yes I have sent the roster to Tekeda and the transports are coming to get them all there timely. I am looking forward to the event, to spending time with Bully and to have a few days in the city after the event, we have secured penthouse accommodations for our party so at least the security forces will be happy we are all together. "

*********************************************
Kiah's hammers will be bringing
TREBUCHET TBT 5J

The building (where Yasha's public presentation party is taking place) is on a manmade hill {Zahiru} in the center of Yousai (the capitol city - of about five million people and about 450 sq km -  sits on the Anzu Plateau, over twelve hundred meters high and about twenty thousand sq km across), which includes Parliament Hill on the north side, Center Gate Park in the middle, and the Governors Palace (the complex where the party is taking place in the Grand Receiving Hall), on the south side of the hill {Zahiru}. The entire edifice is fenced and gated and has layers of visible and invisible security measures. The party is formal and takes place in the evening (expected temperatures twenty four to twenty six degrees celsius). There will be many officials (government, ichizoku, military, mercantile fleet officers, corporate and civilian staff and envoys, idols and icons, traders, guild members, kannushi and bhikku {priests and monks}, foreign military and dignitaries, select members of the press) present at the party so security will be very tight and very visible for this event. (Security will include Palace Security, Parliamentary Guard, Ministry Security Services, NDT, NPO, Saganami Security and Saganami Household Guard, Ichizoku Militia, GSF, plus security details for individual officials, staff, and dignitaries) The Governors Palace complex has maybe a dozen buildings from military barracks and armoury to a Shinto shrine, gardens, a residence hall, the Monarch's Private Residence, Keijihoin {Crown Court judiciary}, Crown Offices, Crown Library Archives, government offices, and of course the Grand Hall and the Palace.   

Camp Maru {circle} (Eagle's Tears) is southwest of the city beyond the suburban area near the edge of the plateau.

North of the city on the plateau are teak and bamboo plantations, nature reserves, a lake, and forest.
Minpei Toride {NDT military citadel} is on the plains northwest of the plateau. Saganami Shiro is on the hills west of the plateau. Aegis Arms Plant One is southwest of Saganami Shiro. The Spaceport is on the plains northeast of the plateau. The Enclave is northeast of the Spaceport. The Akai Yoake Military Academy is in the hills east of the plateau near the Yoshino-gawa and Bridges.

Hey Gang -

Questions for the liason officer:

1)  Is this security force a show force that needs fresh paint and full inspection prior to being posted or a hidden reserve?
2)  Is there a potential expected threat?
3)  If so, what?
4)  Is there a specific reaction plan we need to conform to?
5)  What are the rules of engagement?
6)  Will forces be prepositioned as a concentrated force, or dispersed?
7)  What militia units will be in place with us, and what are their unit compositions?

Questions for other players: (at least those to be asked before we get answers to the above questions)

1) anyone got unit mix suggestions?

Questions about the map:

1)  Is this a partial map because we are restricted to this part of the city as our AOR?
2)  Are there any specific areas of concern as far as restrictive terrain?
3)  Where are the tall buildings/structures that might be used as OP's?
4)  Is it possible to get a more detailed map?

In response to the "what are you wearing" question  :smilie_confused_dontknow: :off: (why is this important??) Marik dress whites of course.

P.S. - Since my home base is close to the AOR as dawn mentioned, all units currently on base will be in readiness status to respond in force if a hostile incursion occurs during the event.

Hey Gang -

Questions for the liason officer:

1)  Is this security force a show force that needs fresh paint and full inspection prior to being posted or a hidden reserve?

this is a combat mission not a show. If someone does something to during the event you will deal with them. your units will be posted at different locations around the outside of the city.

Quote
2)  Is there a potential expected threat?

with all the V.I.P.s that will be at this event. maybe  .... yes.

Quote
3)  If so, what?

Jaguar Bandits, Pirates/Raiders, Kokuryu-kai, Word of Blake. (pick)

Quote
4)  Is there a specific reaction plan we need to conform to?

none by me. if the GSF has one then so be it.

Quote
5)  What are the rules of engagement?

destroy any units that attack the event.

Quote
6)  Will forces be prepositioned as a concentrated force, or dispersed?

units will be stationed around the city.

Quote
7)  What militia units will be in place with us, and what are their unit compositions?

101st, 102nd, 103rd, 104th, 601st, 602nd and 603rd armored platoons
the Mechanized Infantry Battalion's Security Company
1st Battle Armor Company

Quote
Questions for other players: (at least those to be asked before we get answers to the above questions)

1) anyone got unit mix suggestions?

Questions about the map:

1)  Is this a partial map because we are restricted to this part of the city as our AOR?

just a map of the city.

Quote
2)  Are there any specific areas of concern as far as restrictive terrain?

well this is the largest city on rock so doing damage here is not your best idea.  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

Quote
3)  Where are the tall buildings/structures that might be used as OP's?

we have many tall buildings in Yousai that would do ... keep in mind if the bad guys figure you are using them for OPs they will be targeted  :grin:

Quote
4)  Is it possible to get a more detailed map?

this is up to the Goddess of the rock  :grin:

Just to clarify, is the wedding also the mission?
It is tempting to say that my CO will be wearing an Archer to the event. :cheesy:

For the next game, I will bring the Ostsol, LRM carrier, LRM Partisan, and Blizzard Bravo.  I plan to break up the infantry into squads and place them on rooftops with the best views of the city streets and equipment for spotting for LRM units.  The morning of the event, they will be dressed as delivery men and deliver crates with their uniforms and equipment to their posts.
The attendees for the formal event will be wearing Canopian ceremonial robes with full body armor underneath.  Side arms will be carried and building security will be notified.

Yasha'a presentation is not a wedding. This is the Governor showing her son to the people.

You have a squad of BA and two squads of SRM infantry in the Blizzard

The battlearmor will stay in the Blizzard until needed.  The two SRM squads will try to act innocuous on top of the buildings.  They will attempt to blend in with the machinery.

I request that the other players bring conventional infantry for spotting purposes.
