The Hive has proven itself as a great nation that stands by it's friends and we will support them as they have to us. I'm declaring FCL and Former Azan's territory CLOSED to all nations except to our allies of the Hive."

-------END TRANSMISSION--------

General Paul Hogan heard the hiss of static as the transmission ended. He frowned and headed to the table where all the Generals and Admirals were in attendance.

He returned the Salutes from the others and stood at the head of the table.

"People , we have a situation here. Frankychan assisted by Hive agents have blatantly attacked our soldiers and now vehemently deny any such action occured."

"Sir, but wasnt it our own troops that accidently cut down some of theirs first a few motnhs ago" asked Admiral Peter Costello.

"That was jsut that Admiral, an aciident in friendly fire, their response was a fully planned ambush. We couldnt allow that to go unpunished. Further intelligence reports now seem to indicate that a lot of the Azan terrorist activiy against us was sponsoired by Frankychan himself. You wil lsee from these reports that upon investigation , no terrorist activity ever happened in Frankychan, all attacks were directed against our people."

All heads nodded in agreement.

"I have orders here from the new government in Auldoninna that we are to assist in the rebuilding and aid work in Azan, That is to be our primary mission. But I have been given the order that any further attacks against Auldonina personel will be met by the full force of our troops. We will retaliate and retaliate hard. All bombing missions are now cancelled till i give new targets to the north if necessry. "

"And what of the Hive?" asked General Gough Whitlam

"Heaven help the world if they get involved, who knows what evil weoponry they will use. I have issued all men with Bio-Suits and we are patrolling our territory down here constantly. Any movement of Hive or Frankychan planes towards us will be regarded as an act of war."

"and missile attacks?"

"Our agents inform us that none are in Frankychan at present but who knows what is arriving daily."

"Reinforcemnts sir?"

"The Audlonina Defence minister has ordered all avaialbel military forces to be sent here as necessary. Gentleme you have your orders, may God save the world from what happens next."

Here's an updated map of FCL/Azan with naval forces included. Pink for Guardinia and Ceroo, Yellow for Auldoninna, Orange for Frankychanland, Purple for the Hive, Red for Jonchastan and Blue for Basus. The red star is the location of Jonchastan's field hospital, the pink star for the joint Guardinia/Ceroo fleet.

As can be seen from the map, all Auldonina naval presence in the Eastern Straits is now removed as Basus/Ceroo and Guardina have ample cover to protect the transports, Auldonina navy is now patrolling the western ocean to prevent attacks on Auldonina vessels arriving with aid from the North West and any other nation sending like aid ....

The Guardinian Department of Foreign Affairs released a statement today reaffirming Guardinia's full support of the humanitarian relief efforts now underway in Azan and commitment to protect anyone with a legitimate business in the area. Officials confirmed today that a Guardinian air bridge is being established to provide urgent medical aid and that a sizeable fleet of merchant vessels carrying food and supplies has left Guardinia and is expected to arrive in Azan some time late tonight. This fleet is reported to be entering the former "Total Exclusion Zone" surrounding Azan even as we speak, and will be escorted by Guardinian Navy warships until it reaches port safely. Officials assured the press and the public that the Guardinian military would respect the neutrality of the base established by Basus and Jonchastan and that no attempts would be made to stage any form of clandestine military operations out of this area. However, the question about whether or not Guardinia was establishing its' own bases elsewhere and possibly conducting clandestine military operations out of these was left unanswered - perhaps not too surprisingly.

When asked whether Guardinia's military forces would stand down now that the situation appears to have cooled down somewhat, Minister of Defense John Paul Atkinson said that a partial stand down had already been ordered for the army and air force. The navy remains on full alert for the time being, but Atkinson siggested that hopefully, they too could begin a gradual stand down within the next few days.

Officials also confirmed that Guardinia supports Basus' plan to establish a new government for Azan and that a high level Guardinian delegation would attend the summit on board the Basus aircraft carrier Admiraliteit. Guardinian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sean Baldwin expressed hope that these efforts would eventually lead to the return of peace, prosperity and stability to the Azani people and all their neighbours.

"This is Brigette Newman here in Emerald Cove at the Royal on the PArk Resort, with me today, enjoying this luxurious holiday destination, is the new President Elect, Sarah Meakin, the first femal President in Auldoninna history."

"Sarah, its great to have you here today."

"Thanks Brigette, as part of the new governemnts openness we are happy to give interviews to as many press as we can"

"Thats great Sarah, obviously after so much tensions with the change in government it must be great to be here and get some relaxation in"

"Well Brigette, whislt Emerald Cove is reknown world wide for its great resorts, today I am not here for that reason, I am her on official business. You see many of our troops are still here or on the Military Training Island. I am here to officialy greet them all and thank them for their great work in getting terrorism under control."

"Yes they have done well Ms President "

"Truly Brigette they have. And now that we are ending the war in Azan they deserve their break. It is just unfortunate that the situation has changed and we may be still needed to remain there as Frankychan and the Hive are displaying very aggresive actions"

"Ms PResident, some Auldoninna citizens are protesting and stating we should have a full pull out of Azan, and stick to our own backyard."

"Well Brigette I am happy to say that those protestors are not Auldonina residents , but infiltrators from overseas. We will dea lwith them as necessry. As it is we will remain in Azan until full open elections are held and the land returned to their own people."

"Speaking of the elections, why hasnt Auldonina been invited to the meetings to discuss al lthis"

"Well Brigette, many in he area think we are to blame for the whole situation and beleive that if we aare involved there wont be free elections, of course this is untrue as it is Frankchan that blocked Azan people having their own elections. As I stated, we will not leave the Free people of Azan to be controlled by the others in the region. We will stick by the people who helped us in overthrowing the Terrorist regime that previously ruled them."

"Well Ms PResident that is great news then"

"Yes Brigette, it is, and I am sorry to say that I must now be leaving , as my next port of call is the airport as I fly to speak to some other nations in the Azan area that are wanting to have full and open trade."

"Thank you Ms PResident"

"This is Brigette Newman signing off"

We would like to inform other nations that the airfield and port are both fully operational, and replete with all manner of defensive systems to protect incoming aid shipments. The hospital is open all nations that wish to bring relief to the Azani people, and any nations that wish to contribute to its defence will be welcomed.

Just after midnight, the Noosland aid convoy arrived at the Jonchastan field hospital under the protection of the Thelon battlegroup. Elements of the 3rd Nooslandian Special Operations Unit moved into defensive positions, with the aid of Blue Cap teams inserted in place several days before.

Unloading of emergency supplies is now underway.

'Sir, preliminary analysis indicates the inbound aircraft to be the JT-22 fighter bomber, recon variant. Records show that it has a detection radius of 52 km."

"How much time before it will discover us?"

"Slightly less than 10 minutes."

"If it does not turn in another minute, splash away."

[Basus]

The joined people of Basus and Jonchastan welcome the great nation of Karakas in our midst. Karakas officials are welcome to visit our nations and will be welcomed with all regards.

Just give the Arch-Capitalist a call. He'll sort you out...

[Guardian]

Guardinia denounces nuclear tests on a general basis, and also points out that the Auldoninna government could hardly have found a worse time to conduct such tests. This will be seen by many as another escalation of the crisis and does not appear to be the actions of a government with peaceful intentions.
