the irish detect the probe easily. they use electronic scrambling tech to disguise the capitol ship as a frigate to all probes of the U.S, and the ISE. the irish respond kindly to the ISE but state," No one shall come abord the St.Duke."

by President WIN Mon Dec 12, 2011 5:14 pm

(Scuse me Ian, I don't know what you're dealing with right now, or why you weren't at school today, but please kindly note that it was the U.S.A. that asked to come aboard your ships, not the ISE. We wouldn't ask for something we were sure you would deny us.)

[how the fuckin hell did you manage that???]

Seeing the electronics interference, the probe turns back towards e moon base, while space defense weaponry is trained on the Irish, whose intent is unknown to the Americans.

by Doomwing Mon Dec 12, 2011 9:35 pm

The hidden Irish moon colony is rapidly set up. (seeing as they have tons of experience...). The Irish begin to set up some defense systems. They run a charge through the outer metal making a minor emf which knocks away harmful cosmic radiation. They also begin to make various tunnles under the surface.

by Tassadar Mon Dec 12, 2011 9:39 pm

Seismic activity is detected by the American moon base, and scouts are sent out to find the source. The sensors are checked, and the Irish base is missed, but just barely.

by Tassadar Mon Dec 12, 2011 9:52 pm

The ISE is alerted to the unusual activity on the moon. Meanwhile, back on earth, the prototype behemoth launched and sent to the moon and back as a test run. Despite some minor communication issues, the flight is successful, and more Behemoths are ordered.

by President WIN Mon Dec 12, 2011 10:26 pm

The ISE thanks the U.S. for the warnings, and sends them photos of the Irish Ships launching something at the surface of the moon. The ISE states that it believes that the unusual seismic activity is related to the Irish bombardment. The ISE questions wether or not the ISE and USA should declare the Moon off-limits to the Irish, or whether we should ignore them, or if the U.S.A. has an alternative plan (PM me in that case).

The US flashes a message to the Irish "what are you doing?"

by Doomwing Tue Dec 13, 2011 6:33 am

The Irish Respond saying, "This Matter of which we are doing requires none of your Concern."

by Tassadar Tue Dec 13, 2011 7:26 am

"it does if you are doing anything militarily. What are you doing?" the US demands to know. Scouts are once again sent out, and this time they spot the Irish colony. They immediately set up an observation post and continue to report on Irish activity

by **Flagmauth** Tue Dec 13, 2011 4:28 pm

The Soviets, Chinese, etc. extend greetings to the Irish.

Belousov, ever paranoid and prepared, orders outlines for defensive and offensive operations against both NATO and the ISE.

The Iron Curtain is in full swing.

Meanwhile, the Japanese announce the release of the M.I.N.D. (Mental Initiative Network Device). The device takes the concept of the waterwheel, and applies it to the brain, placing "waterwheels" to take advantage of the moving signals to generate energy. This energy is then used for a variety of purposes, including providing energy for artificial body parts and other devices. The military is currently looking for uses of this device.

Additionally, Japan has begun to look into getting samples of various weapons from other countries.

by **Flagmauth** Tue Dec 13, 2011 9:33 pm

[Which is horribly inefficient, as I've stated several times.]

The Soviet Union, China, Germany and France, all manufacturers of most of the Communist weaponry, decline to sell equipment to Japan...Burma, India and much of Eastern Europe have no such qualms, however.

Sweden, looking to keep Japan loosely affiliated with the democratic bloc, opens its market of Saab fighters, while Denmark, Holland, Belgium, and Australia openly trade American and British-made equipment.

Israel, running their own profitable weapons industry, cashes in as well.

Luxembourg and Malta agree to join the ISE. Norway and Australia respectfully decline, while Romania and Bulgaria don't even bother sending a response. Cambodia, destabilized by repeated Marxist revolutions (not, incidentally, instigated by the Russians) also does not reply, though likely because they have a new government every two days or so.

Meanwhile, the Soviets, Germans and French begin working on a collaborative effort. Communist revolutionary minorities already present in Britain and Italy begin acting up, voicing concerns over the "direction" their countries have taken and demanding "progressive" reforms.

Ireland's moon colony finish its work on a large solar factory. it produces more than enough energy to power the station.

(It's meant to supplement, not be used a main source)

by President WIN Tue Dec 13, 2011 11:02 pm

The ISE sends its thanks and a few defensive troops to each of the new member countries, and immediately absorbs their militaries (such as they are) and opens full trade with them immediately. They are naturally small voices in the ISE, but unlike the small states in the ICC, they have a clear voice, and several proposals made by them as they enter the ISE are put into force. (Thank you for giving me my two favorite countries out of that list.)

Meanwhile, the ISE sends word to Norway and Australia that they are considered strong allies in good standing with the ISE, and as such may join the ISE, or call for its aid, at any time. Trade continues peacefully with these two countries.

The ISE opens weapon trade to the Japanese, supporting their military with small weapons for free, then charging them and cashing in on heavier weaponry. Emperor de Silva also goes to make a goodwill appearance with Emperor Akihito, (if you allow it) after travelling to the two new ISE countries to express his thanks and goodwill there.

The ISE states that in countries such as Italy and Britain, the voice of the people shall prevail, and that such countries are always welcome as friends and allies of the ISE, which supports the will of the people everywhere. The ISE sends diplomatic parties specifically to these countries.

The ISE, "wishing to bury the hatchet with France" offers to open trade. (primarily as a ploy to prevent the iron curtain from spreading there.) The ISE also sends agents secretly into China and Russia at a much faster pace, hoping to just sneak under the iron curtain. Such agents are obviously deep cover, with only the ability to call for immediate help, or recieve a message from the ISE. A new, more competent spy master is installed in Brazil to lead the ISE efforts.

Britain's so-called "Czar" falls victim to the Progressive Revolution, a Communist extremist group. The new Prime Minister begins an effort to root out and destroy these groups, which have "acquired" Soviet and German-made weaponry.

Ireland's Moon Construction is Finished and Preliminary Tests are under way. More Irish Ships are ferrying goods back and forth to a new Construction orbiting the Moon. A Spherical Space station which rotates on itself much like a Gyroscope. In all irish ships this Object sits, It is where the crew Quarters are and Captain's Chambers, along with other Crew Related Items.
The Irish Can Indeed walk on earth without problems because of this Device. (So Ha)

The US moves several laser platforms into firing position. They are very well equipped for stealth missions, and only a roll of 20 will bypass the active electronic signiture scramblers and passive measures of ECMs and other classified ways of remaining undetected. There are 4 satellites, and it will take a roll of 20 to find just one of the sats. If any attempted to override the controls are detected, classified reactions will take place.

The new British PM, David Evanson, proclaims the formation of the Free European Alliance with Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, and Iceland. The member nations, dissatisfied with the West's approach in anti-Communism, begin sharing military resources to protect against a Red offensive.

A few British extremist groups disappear to mainland Europe.

by Tassadar Thu Dec 15, 2011 8:11 pm

The Behemoth is sent on its maiden voyage to Jupiter. It will take around 3.5 days.

by **Flagmauth** Thu Dec 15, 2011 9:29 pm

[It would take much longer than that.]

The Free Europe Alliance, headed by Britain which is headed by Evanson, begins plans for what to do in the event of Communist attack and wonder if they could start an offensive war with the Commies and still get American aid.

British extremist groups, carrying British military equipment, have still disappeared to Russia, Germany, and France. Speculation in the British government has begun as to what they're doing and why.
