Quiet Nation of MikGonnia Detonates

MikGonnia Reports: News for the South West of the East Pacific.
The situation in MikGonnia is looking ever more bleak as the isolated rebellious region of Nexus in north-western MikGonnia abandoned political ties with the other major regions. Nexus was taken by rebels claiming to be the “Awakening” of MikGonnia just one week ago being able to use the old fortress city to stop MikGonnian troops from entering the city.

Governor Charles Leek of the Carria region released this statement the day following the lock-down of Nexus by rebels: “We cannot allow terrorists to occupy our great nation and we will do everything possible to expel these intruders from our borders and free the citizens held hostage in the region”. Military Chancellor Willis Brown made a similar statement 3 days ago additionally stating that airstrikes and other destructive measures were not going to used due to the thousands of citizens in the vicinity.

MikGonnia Reports: MikGonnia’s “Awakening” and Natioanal Troops Face Off in South City.

After National Troops failed to remove Rebel forces from Nexus yesterday by storming the eastern flood gates and the death of General Charles Scott, Military Chancellor Willis Brown steps down. The death toll is about 500 National and 700 Rebel Troops dead as the total still rises.

It has been discovered the Rebel “Awakening” is lead by Exiled Vizier Kjarr who was expelled 20 years ago during the dissemination of the Triumvirate. Kjarr was overthrown two months after killing the other members of the Triumvirate , Borium and Ziegler, as he tried to take full control of the nation. He was presumed dead after reports of his corpse in a nearby nation and a commemorative statue of his military and political reform was place in the capital despite his less then peaceful takeover of the nation.

The new Military Chancellor will be General Hail of the second Royal Army, he had this to say as he was informed of his new position: “We will not falter in this time of peril and nor shall we loss our greatest port city to this endemic terror!” Military Chancellor’s high energy brought a storm of applause but will he be able to end this rebellion?

MikGonnia Reports: Third National Amy Falls in Archion as Kjarr’s “Awakening” Brings More Citizens Under His Malicious Influence.

Bombs detonated in Archion killing a believed two-thirds of the Third National Army stationed there. Military Chancellor met with MikGonnian Chancellor Carr to discuss further military and possible political strategies against the ever growing “Awakening”.

Archion Governor Rawss stated that the Nation need a new leader and declares joining the “Awakening”. Military Chancellor Brown had this to say: " Claiming your serfdom to this mad man has sealed your fate Rawss, this rebellion is ending soon if I have anything to say about it".

There are high hopes for Military Chancellor Brown’s upcoming offensive as the Nation cheers him on.

MikGonnia Reports: 5 Months of Fighting to End Soon Proclaims Chancellor Brown.

Chancellor Brown’s cunning military campaign the persistent “Awakening” soldiers gives impression of a closing conflict. After Brown’s capture of the rebel city Jos and the military victories over rebel troops recently Chancellor Carr had this to say: “I never doubted Brown and I still don’t. We will re-unit this nation. We will persevere”.

There has been no sign of Kjarr since the tragic leveling of South City as “Awakening” officers threatened to detonate an experimental nuclear warhead they captured from Fort Ra in last months counter offensive. This Silence had lead some to believe he died in the city early this month during he artillery barrage.

As the “Awakening’s” drastically shrinking armies pester National troops throughout the Western outskirts and formally occupied cities are discovered empty many citizens are asking: Did we win?

Two men crawl over water and gas pipes in the dark sub structures of a large city.

ticking sounds “Did you hear that?” whispers Joe.

“No, I don’t hear anything” Replies Jack.

“Hmm, coulda swore I heard knocks or something” concludes Joe.

“Maybe if you quit worrying about rats humping and did what we came here to do we’d already be outta this part of the subs” Jack says

Joe moves through a narrow pass linking two large chambers previously used for water treatment. The pass is only four feet high forcing the men to crawl. The walls grimy, there is a foul smell from the untreated water that has been sitting for 3 months.

Jack makes disguised faces as they pass a small crevice intersecting the pass. There is a body laying against the crevices furthest wall. It’s nothing but bone as rats gnaw on the remaining moist clothing.

“Jesus, why do we even need to map this part of the subs, the Jarrs are on he complete other side of the metro line. What, does brown think there gonna send Jackals all he way out to the Treatment plant?” Jack snidely proclaims

“It’s the same thing we do every week Joe. We crawl out to the plant, we see if there’s anything there, we get back to base” Joe replies Tiredly

Jack stops to fix his gas mask, moving it over his face to get better circulation

“Don’t stop, I gotta piss” Joe says

The men reach the end of the tunnel pass revealing the treatment plants underground water storage

“Okay, lets get this over with” Joe says

“You still got the scanner?” Jack asks

“Come on Jack, do I look like Charley?” Joe replies jokingly

Jack and Joe smile and climb down to cement floor behind the Giant Containment silos.

“Lets check the mainframe first, maybe the juice from base has finally got the thing running” Jack says

The men walk through the maze of water spires

Loud ticking sounds

“There’s that sound. . . What is that?” Jack says

“Yeah, I heard it that time, maybe it’s the mainframe starting up the filter process.” Joe responds

In the distance a static sounding voice can be heard

~Did you mumble something?~

~No, Sir~ another static sounding voice replies

~Go patrol the floor, make sure we don’t have any company~

Joe and Jack jump behind silos along the main walkway to the mainframe room.

They hear foot steps exiting the mainframe room and walking down the walkway.

Joe makes a ‘shhh’ motion and draws his knife. Jack pulls out his knife as well.

The foot steps slow as someone draws closer and stop a few yards away.

~huffThere’s no one here Sargent. . . .~ The second voice tiredly yells

There is no response

~ Private go inform Sargent that there is no one here, I’m going to go see what Valasges is up to~

~Yes Sir~ a third static sounding voice replies

The foot steps move away until they seem fairly far away.

The loud ticks kick over to load mechanical sounds as the treatment plant comes alive as faint lights begin to flicker in the dimly lit corridor and suction and scraping sounds fill the chamber.

It startles Joe and Jack as they look frantically at one another.

“We need to leave now” Joe says just loud enough to be heard by Jack

Joe begins to move toward the walkway to move back to the tunnel pass they came from.

As his shoulder and head move into the walkway a projectile whizzes through Joe helmet and out the lens on his gas mask. Bloody mist covers the water silo behind him.

“FUCK!” Yells Jack

Jack moves away from the main walkway and runs through the maze of silos toward the back of the room.

He struggles to take out his radio, his fingers get caught up in his parkas flaps.

He gets it out and turns in on the radio.

radio static sound"Base! I got … "

Two hands come out from behind him, one covering his mouth, the other wrapping over his eyes.

The hands twist

Jacks body falls to the ground

radio static sound" Private where have you been, you were supposed to report in once you got to the mainframe. you guys start making out or something?" The radio replies

“Private?” The radio replies

A figure stomps the radio.

He’s clad in armor panel over most of his body with a poncho covering his chest. In the darkness of his ponchos hood two red eyes brightly shine out.

The dark figure walk down the walkway dropping the bodies casually and the mainframe rooms door. The figure continues through multiple rooms beyond the mainframe chambers passing more dark figures, some eating, some cleaning weapons, some working on the circuits and machinery in the treatment plant. The figure opens the sliding electric industrial door.

A massive chamber filled with a variable army filling it becomes visible. Tanks, Jeeps, Trucks, Ammo cases, Weapons, everywhere. In an area far left of the door the figure emerged a mountain of explosives are plied against the wall with figures moving boxes and working on computers.

The Dark figure removes his hood revealing a black helmet with two protruding red eyes and a respirator.

~Time to end the war brother~ The static sounding voice proclaims
