  • Biological Weapons Threat

    The following address was made by Ceroo's Vice President a few minutes ago and broadcast directly to all recognised governments in the region.

    "In what can only be described as a severe breech of security at the Cheya Mountain facility, Ceroo's only biological weapon, developed under the previous government, has been stolen by unknown assailants which had managed to infiltrate the base, possibly as members of the Cerooan science team based there or as air force personell. Although the makeup of this weapon has been kept secret for many years, we now feel neccessary to let other nations in the region know what it is. The ESA-01 is a virus that behaves exactly the common cold at first, before a substance formed in the lungs begins disolvingaway living tissue. The reason the weapon had been kept so far underground was that the we could not find a way to counter-act this, the virus seemed to feed off many conventional treatments and accelerate the decay. In fact the unfortuanate test subjects were dead within 36 hours and their bodies decayed beyond use after 96 hours becoming unexaminable. We do not know who has this weapon, it could be a terrorist group or a rouge nation, but as of now Ceroo's borders are closed and we strongly recomend that any nations receiving traffic from Ceroo, either by air or sea perform thorough checks at ports. For the first time in many years Ceroo City is on a state of igh alert and Ceroo Intelligence has begun efforts to find whomever has possesion of ESA-01. We beleive the culprits either to be terrorist planning to use the weapon in Ceroo (and therefore still on the island), or agents of a rogue nation, which may mean they have methods of leaving other than via civilian routes (i.e. via that particular nations' naval force). If any of our friends or alies' intelligence or security forces know the whereabouts of the missing weapon then we urge you to assist us in the hunt for these mad men."

    ***BULLETIN FROM THE CENTRALIAN COUNCIL OF STATE***

    In response to the recent news from Ceroo, the government has officially declared martial law and shut down all contact between Ceroo and Centralis. Anyone known to have passed through Ceroo at any point in the last week will be held in quarantine, while all international travellers will be thoroughly searched by border guards in full CBN warfare gear, and will be kept in isolation for 36 hours to make sure they do not have any of the symptoms. Our intellignce services will be devoting maximum effort to locating this weapon. Gas masks will be distributed to all citizens for protection.

      Please forward a copy of the virus' genome.

      Meanwhile, all passenger traffic between Noosland and Ceroo is stopped indefinitely until further notice. Cargo traffic will be handled under the strictest NBC conditions.

        Decontemination

        Neutron radiation is effective against viruses on and in inanimate objects (including dead bodies). Lifeforms remain a problem.

        Effectively immediately, all imports from Ceroo will be restricted to inanimate objects only.

          The Republic of Centralis will implement the same measures as those undertaken by Nossland.

            Perhaps Noosland would like to offer assitance to the Ceroo government with develpoing this neutron radiation?

            The navy has sunk four vessels trying to leave Cerooan waters in the past 12 hours, trying to negate the naval blockade and not responding to communications from Cerooan forces. Automated submersibles are investigating the wreckages.

            Martial law is now finally in place. The remaining government officaials are debating whether or not to do house-to-house searches in Ceroo City and Newport.

            A tem of scientists are working on a way of adapting one of our mapping satellites to detect the viral agent, but as the quanity is small until released, they remain sceptical, the team is small as many people have elected to remain indoors, it didn't take long for the news networks to get hold of the story, and it was broadcast to the people overnight.

            Ceroo's president is still on a state visit to True Colony and yet to comment on the issue.

              With a copy of the virus's genome from Ceroo, the Nooslandian Institute of Advanced Biomedical Research puts the task of neutralising the virus as a top priority project.

              A team of our nuclear physicists will be sent to Ceroo City as soon as arrangements are finalised.

                Redfern's borders are closed to any citizens travelling from or via Ceroo, but wishes to offer any assistance it can.

                With ridiculously high population densities, the effects of a biolgocial weapon would be devastating to Redfern.

                  The United States of Jackson is following the measured undertaken by Noosland and Centrails. All fights from Ceroo and all person from Ceroo entering within last month will be looked over by our Intelligence agency and local, state, and Federal police. So far we have had no reported cases in Jackson at this time.

                    Unfied Sheepsta will monitor all travel between Sheepsta and Ceroo and customs will ensure no weapons come through.

                      Bulletin From the Centralian State Security Service

                      Centralian border police, working with agents from the Centralis State Security Service, today detained several Cerooians who were attempting to sneak across the border from New Griffith. They were armed with modern assault rifles and bloodshed was averted only due to the presence of several soldiers from the Ghost Division, who disarmed the suspects before they could fire. The detainees were carrying several large armoured suitcases with them, which we have not yet been able to open. The detainees are now under interrogation though they have not taked, and we have tansferred their belongings to a secure laboratory for examination. We believe that we may have found the weapon that was missing.

                          New Griffith and Unified Sheepsta would like to jointly announce that a WOMD movement organisation be formed. We look towards any nation that would like to join for the greater intrests of the region.

                            Represenitives from the Cerooan Embassy in Centralis would like to assist the CSSS in identifying and possibly interrogating the said detainees. (Ceroo has two main languages- English and Grascun, the detainees may not have spoken yet because they are from one of the non-english speaking islands)

                            Although, we would not operate covert forces in a friendly nation, it is a possibility that these people could be members of a Ceroo Intelligence cell returning from another nation- although carrying armoured cases and large military weapons would be very uncharacteristic of CI agents (and just plain stupid). We would like to have a hand in what happens to the detainees.

                            Internal affairs, and Ceroo Intelligence thinks it may have found a link between the theft and a group of radical fundamentalist 'Christians', however when our forces arrived at their supposed HQ, it was abandoned and all that we could find suspicious was trace amounts of radiation, slightly higher than normal background radiation. Also, there has been no contact with True Colony since the incident, we have still not herd from the President.

                            Ceroo would consider backing New Griffith's WMD organisation. As stated many times in the past, the current government opposes such terrible weapons.
                            However, at this moment we are not too familiar with the government of that particular nation, although we are willing to send envoys to open up talks, and possibly establish a Ceroo embassy there.

                              The CSSS would be happy to co-operate with Cerooian intelligence forces in this matter and arrangmeents have been made to facilitate this. You may send your people in at your leisure.
