The team arrived at Veshknok apartment, they had been scoping the area and watching his daily activity since they arrived. Kalb Vinchevsky Team leader talk to a local mafia member who had gave him info on the whereabouts of the EX-Spy. The 8 men split into two groups, the first group “Hitmen” Consisted of Kalb Vinchevsky “Aaron”, Gabriel Rose “Nehloa”, Yehoshua Nenbauer " Telnso", and Jaedon Jakubowicz “Phillips”. Group two was the “Clean Up Crew”, which consisted of the final four men, Eron Goldsmid “Nephlan”, Tuvya Trachtenberg “Julian”, Abisha Bomberg “Frank”, and Zamir Kedar “Bills”.

The first group walked into his building, 2 men on the first floor dressed regular tourist, both men carrying a Verreta with a supressor, the next two men waited inside his apartment carrying the same. Group two waited outside the building in a car, they were to enter once the men walked out to clean the casings.

As the evening felled Veshnok arrived home, as he enter the building the first two agents started walking towards the elevator. He proceeded behind them " Good evening gentlemen" he says to them, they nod back. They exit a floor before him, after sending the signal via pager to the two men waiting upstairs. Veshnok enters his room and starts to take his suit and hat off, 'Veshnok do you know why we’re here?" Kalb says to him. Vehsnok turns around shocked and in fear “N-Now le-lets be reasonable” he stutters trying to catch his words, " You were apart of harming Nacata, you were a spy to Prussia. You know what you have done to Nacatan people you will now pay" Gabriel says to him, “P-Please don’t d…” before Veshnok could get his words out the other two men enter the room. A Series of 28 shots were let off into him for the 28 Nacatans killed during a false terrorist raid in 1987.

The men proceeded to exit the room two taking the stairs and another two taking the elevator. They exit building 2 minutes later the Clean up crew entered and retrieve the shells, while in the hotel they altered the camera footage and deleted any trace of Nassad only showing Veshnok entering the building.

A Nassad Agent walks up and slips a note onto his car. The note contained one line.

What is a Army without a General?

Sincerly,
Nassad

In West Cerdani the military retaliatory strike had been ground to a halt after the assassination of the general in charge of the operation, Jonathon Holacce. With the strike now not going ahead and mounting pressure inside the government President Herbert Frahm had recently allowed Xagrug to import it’s arms and allow the NIA to operate within the country to try and stem the loss. He knew however that it would take months before another general could adapt and create a new battle plan of action.

Despite all this he still had to keep the people subdued, somewhat, so late evening on the 28th of October he publically addressed the citizens of West Cerdani, inviting them to attend a pro-government and anti-east cerdani rally in the capital, Merdina. Selected speakers would include himself, former president Markus Johannes, anti-communist writer Jackson Dauder and a supposed refugee from West Berlitow. The event would be high security with the government expecting the East Cerdan Stasi to try make a move during the open air event.
[hr]
Outside his quaint townhouse in the middle of Berlitow, Erich Honecker was about to hop in his car when he noticed a letter stuck in the windshield wipers, opening it and reading it briefly he smiled a little before stuffing the note in the pocket of his suit and drove off to the Palace of the Republic.

East Cerdani

Merdina

The 1st group entered the hall showing diplomatic badges from the Gordic Council Human Rights Observation team, they were let in they split up into twos . Aaron and Nehloa walked up the stairs and waited in a lounge area were group of guards watched the Podium, Telnso and Phillips was directed back stairs were they shook’d Marcus and Herbert hands smiling “Oh it’s a pleasure I’ve heard good things about what you have done about the situation and were happy with the way the West is handling the situation” They walk on and take there seats they had already reviewed the blue prints of the building and had everything in place to take place.

They send in the decoy person screaming “The West is a disgrace!!” The guards quickly chase the man, team 2 sneaked in through the back, Telnso and Phillips quickly inject Markus and Herbert with a sleeping agent while they were peeking around the curtain at the commotion they quickly took them out the back. Couple guards returning back notice them and pulled there weapons Telnso and Phillips quickly shoot at the man with there PLC-32s equipped with a silencer. As the other men drove off, Aaron and Nehloa set off a there bomb killing everyone on the Balcony portion, they got into a shootout with the guards and both were killed while trying to flee the building.

As the men arrived at the port they quickly changed clothes inside the boat and jetted off across the bored were they were to meet up with a C-135 from Nacata that was to take them to East Cerdani.

Inside a Nassad Safehouse

“You Disgust me” Telnso says as he pours water over Marcus face, “Were going kill you slowly and painfully before giving your heads to the public”. The men pulled out a cylinder looking cone and presses down on it, it shoots a tiny bullet into Marcus he gets up and starts to walk spitting up blood before passing out and dieing. Nehloa smacks Herbert, cant you pesky Cerdanis not have a war boner, our reason for killing you is simple you kept info from us and allowed these men to stay in your country knowing what they did to Nacata. You don’t deserve a trial, your sentence is death as the men shoot him in the head 6 times at point blank range. They load there body’s into the trunk and wait tell nighttime.

3:40 AM
Outside Honecker Home

The men quietly pick his trunk lock and places the head of Marcus inside while slipping a note inside the car reading:

"Our job here is done, we never met. May East Cerdani Prosper

Sincerely,
Nassad"

5:00AM
Inside C-135

The men dump the president bodies over the middle of the Concordian ocean while heading back to nacata, " We lost two fine agents we must now explain what happen" Telnso said before laying down and listening to the sound of the engines.

As a new day broke over the now somewhat unified Berlitow, Erich Honecker was preparing for another day of work. He stuffed his briefcase full of various files and paperwork before heading out to his car. Opening the boot of the car he glanced down at the decaying head of Markus and it took a few seconds for it to actually register what he was looking at before he promptly fell over on the side of the footpath and began vomiting onto the road. A few citizens walking past rushed over to his aid and called an ambulance and police who arrived and secured the area and took Honecker off to hospital again.

[hr]
In West Cerdani the government was quickly thrown into even more turmoil with the president missing. Official policy decreed that the Vice President, Pierre Guillaume was to succeed him in such an event however a few ambitious military officers had other plans for the future of the country and with the swearing in ceremony happening in just a few short days, they had to think and act fast. Already a battle plan was drawn up, when the Vice President is flying into Merdina, take some fighter jets and shoot the aircraft down, land at the airfield and then with a few cadres would seize control of the state apparatus at the National Assembly, detain and secure any ministers and high ranking officials from the government and then broadcast their proclamation across the world. With their plan settled the men shook hands and set out to get to work, each of them going after an individual goal for the group.

November 15th 2017
Their plan quickly went into action, they got the jets and flew off, intercepting the presidential jet high above West Cerdani. They didn’t waste time and quickly opened fire on the large jetliner taking out an engine and puncturing numerous holes in the fuselage. Inside numerous people had been wounded and in the cockpit the pilots struggled for control when suddenly Pierre Guillaume stormed in and grabbed a radio from one the pilots.

“Stop firing! The vice president is dead!” he screamed into the microphone. Almost instantaneously the jets broke off their attack and began heading back to their base where they had assembled those most loyal to them in preparation for the coup.

The presidential jet made an emergency landing at a nearby Air Force base where the Vice President quickly alerted the rest of the military about the attack. It didn’t take long before they had traced the jets and tracked them as landed at Verdril Air Force Base. By the time they were ready to stage their coup and leave the base they quickly found themselves surrounded and under siege as the entire base was ringed by troops, tanks and numerous other pieces of hardware.

November 22nd 2017
Symbolically on the same day Pierre Guillaume was inaugurated the siege on Verdril finally ended with the quashing of the final remnants of the coup attempt. Hundreds had been arrested and many more killed but it seemed the worst of the troubles were now over. Already Pierre had begun communications with the East Cerdans about finishing the war but it seemed that a simple apology would not suffice.

Present Day
With no new ground being made in negotiations with the East the West Cerdani government sent out an email to the world asking for assistance.

To:
Leaders of the Diplomatic World

Greetings to you all,

After recent turmoil in our country and the occupation of West Berlitow by East Cerdan forces we have been attempting to negotiate with them to end this little “conflict”. Regrettably we have not yet agreed upon anything other than a mutual ceasefire and the East have continually rejected our proposals whilst they continue to propose their own. I am asking for assistance in ending this once and for all and I hope we can receive some assistance.

Regards,
Pierre Guillaume
President of Cerdani
