Some in Sanctuary's press, many of them who were traveling with Sultan Jerhyn of Aranoch, wrote about the sudden disruption of the Diplomat's Court by a Kandorian man. One, Ted Schultz, wrote, "It's hard to believe that in a country as civilized as this one that people could be so disrespectful of their ruler. Though the fact that the Caldesar let that go on like it did was a bit strange admittedly. Maybe there is something he is hiding."

(OOC: I'm changing the title of this thread to reflect the progression of the plot)

IC: CaldTV anchorman Kent Alderman reacts to the Sun's interpretation of the events that had unfolded in the Imperial Court, "Somebody has being staring into the Sun too long to realize that Kandorians are in fact Calderans, not some inferior race, if you are going to insult our culture at least get your facts straight!"


Meanwhile Caldesar Tiberius calls an emergency session of the Assembly of Monarchs, he skips the formalities of procedure and simply shouts,

Caldesar Tiberius I: "What in God's name is going on here?!"

King William III of Sibullia and chair of the Expansionist Assemblage stands up,

King William III: "The answer is simple, get rid of the Kandorians before they get rid of us!"

Caldesar Tiberius then ordered the tv cameras to be shut off, those who are watching are only seeing a Calderan flag flapping in the breeze and hearing a standby tone.

The Caldesar, removed from public eyes, begins speaking more aggressively,
Tiberius I: "Damn it William, the Kandorians are waiting for an excuse like that to rebel. Keep your personal grudges out of this!"

William III: "Grudges! Me?"
Tiberius I: "Yes, you, you were the one that demanded they remain a colony!"
William III: "I didn't hear any objections from you then, Joseph!"
Queen Hannah of Onosotia: "The simple solution is to grant them full state-hood, a seat at this Assembly and all the rights and privileges therein."

Queen Liliana of Asula then joins in the fray,

Liliana V: "They have no monarch, they are nothing more than pirates! How would they even know how to behave in this chamber? All they care about is booze, sex, and wanton destruction."
Tiberius I: "What?!"
Liliana V: "You heard me! If our kingdoms hadn't banded together 600 years ago Asula would not exist to this day."
Francis X of Allemania: "If you recall, it was the Kandorians that offered a coalition, and it was against the Tiberians to the east not the Kandorians. It was they who saved Asula."
Tiberius I: "Francis is correct, in fact the Kandorians were strong trading partners with the other Calderan kingdoms, why shouldn't they be treated as equals?"

The argument continues on within the Assembly Hall with no end in sight.


Meanwhile a Kandorian fishing trawler slams into the port at Adi (Ay-die) and crates filled with gunpowder and nitroglycerin ignite and a large explosion erupts from the port, destroying a docked frigate and killing 10 people while setting the port on fire.

All the papers carried headlines condemning the attack in the harbour and reporting on the struggle with the Khandorans , most supporting the khandorans cause if not some of the methods. The Sun printed the headline "Kaboom(What did they expect?)". The government strongly condemned the paper and said "We sympathise with Caldera. It is terrible to bomb a harbour killing innocent men,women and children no matter what the cause . Their is no cause that justifies the targeting of innocents. If the Khandorans want to sort it out talk with the Calderan government ." No Avatar

*Meanwhile at the Svunish embassy in Calderus. Jennifer Molenaar was seeking consultation with Ambassador Anja Aengal about the situation, as she was in the country already visiting her daughter Olivia.*

Jennifer Molenaar: “That was some display within the assembly we saw yesterday, wouldn't you say?”

Anja Aengal: “Rather interesting to say the least, anyway what would the head of the KAS have any interest in this if I may ask?”

Jennifer Molenaar: “Oh well I just don’t want this thing to turn into a civil war, you know what happens, a flood of refugees and asylum seekers, which we do not mind however it takes a long time to process and integrate these Kandorians…What can you tell me about them?”

Anja Aengal: “Not much I’m afraid, all we know thus far is that the Calderan majority seem to lump them into a different distinct ethnic group with a long and seemingly negative history, their latest grievance is that they are not counted as Calderans and are not given representation to the Assembly of Monarchs and also wish to be an autonomous region due to this negative history with the Canderan’s namely a group known as the Sibullians over 300 years ago in some war…The details are all rather vague at this point though.”

*Jennifer raised her eyebrow; she was intrigued to learn more while stroking her chin with her thumb and index finger.*

Jennifer Molenaar: “I think I will stick around for a while, it gives me a good chance to be with my daughter a little while longer…Also It has been a long time since I conducted a few cut out operations on foreign soil, I also have a small cell in the capital to conduct some recon. Send me a dead drop when you know more, ambassador?”

Anja Aengel: “Of course”

Caldesari (Prince) Alexander barges through the doors of the Assembly to announce the tragedy to them. The first to react was Queen Liliana of Asula, where the attack took place.

Liliana: "You see! They don't even give us the opportunity to change it, if they don't get their way right then then it is too late!"

The rest of the monarchs leave the assembly hall except for Tiberius and Alexander. Alexander approaches his father,

Caldesari Alexander: "Father...what now?"
Caldesar Tiberius: "We wipe the Kandorians off the face of the earth! And make it clear to the other nations that we can handle it. I don't want them to use this as an excuse to leverage ending the isolation period."

Alexander:"Father, think this through, the Kandorians are a proud people, they would never use such cowardly tactics as this! It is a set up! Someone wants them out of the way, someone who has hated them since the day he was born!"

Tiberius had a moment of clarity that appeared out of his sea of rage and he utters a single word, "William."


In Kandor, a general rushes to the Colonial governor, Ashton Kandus, who sits in his office,

General Tobias:"Sir, there have been reports that a Kandorian trawler exploded in Adi!"
Governor Kandus: "What?!"
Tobias: "It's true!"

Tobias hands him the report complete with photos and news clippings.

Kandus: "No! This can't be right! We want full representations, but we would be foolish to do something like this to get it."

He throws the folder and its contents on his desk

Kandus: "This is a setup! Someone is framing us to look like the ones behind this."
Tobias: "But who?"

Kandus collapses back into his chair and a word bursts forth from his lips, a word that to Kandus is synonymous with hatred, "William."

Governor Kandus releases a statement to the rest of Caldera, "Attention all Calderans, the tragedy that struck the port of Adi yesterday is outraging, not only has the person shown his level of cowardice by committing this act, but that cowardice is doubled when the perpetrator dares to make it seem as those the Kandorians were behind this atrocity. It is clear to me who this perpetrator is, someone who holds a grudge against our people, King William Henry Sibilia III! Yes 300 years ago, the Kandorian Isles declared independence from Sibullia, and yes we do wish to be treated as equals and be a full part of the Imperial Confederation of Caldera, but we are not the sort to get our way through violence, like the foolish Muslims in Horreyah and Rhomais, and I demand that William be held responsible for this for it is clear he is behind it, not us!"

However the words go unheeded as protestors surround the Kandorian embassy in Uthrum, Asula. Most of the protestors are those who are too poor to afford electricity and/or a television. The Caldesar sends Imperial Guards out of Calderus to maintain order, so far the protestors are peaceful, shouting chants and holding signs displaying their attitude on the situation.

Meanwhile King William did hear the statement and immediately aired a response, "You dare call me a coward?! For all those who seen me in action, both on the battlefield and the minefield that is politics you know that the moment I dislike something I let you know it straight away and act openly and diliberately, I don't hide by double agents or false flags. The people on the Kandorian isles are so unkempt that probably they acted on their own wild volition whether Kandus gave the order or not is irrelevant!"

In Sibullia, where most of Caldera's wealth is concentrated and thus a greater number of citizens heard both Kandus' and William's statements, took to the streets because the audacity of Kandus to call their king a coward. They surround the Kandorian embassy in Weo demanding that the Kandorians should be cut-off from the rest of the empire.

Meanwhile, Queen Liliana of Asula meets in secret with a group of non-ethnic Calderan mercenaries, "Our plan is working perfectly, of course they'd blame the leader of the Expansionist Assemblage, and the idea of basing on the historical conflict between Sibullia and Kandor was a stroke of genius!" The queen says to them.

The leader steps up, "Yes, the best way to piss off ethnic Calderans is to attack their pride."
Queen Liliana nods in agreement and states, "So how will this help your cause exactly?"
the leader responds, "our group will be seen as saviours when the Kandorians retaliate."
Liliana then asks, "What makes you think they will retaliate?"
The leader replies coolly, "Oh, they'll retaliate."

The leader takes a few step towards the door, and Liliana stops him by asking, "So this group of yours, are you all Imperians? how many are you?" The leader turns back, "No, we are group of all ethnicities, we have been living underground safe from the oppressive regimes that exist in Caldera, there are North Imperians, South Imperians, Afestians, and Hangs. As for our size, I'd say we are about a million strong."

Liliana is taking aback by the number, "A-a million? Are they all fighting?"
The leader replies laughing, "What? no, no, only a small fraction will actually participate, but enough to make it clear we should treated as equals."

With that the leader and his entourage leave Liliana's company to plan out the next stage of the plan.

Goldecia has sent its sympathies and condemned whoever committed the bombing.The government said "our hearts go out to Caldera and we know what terrorism costs.The waking up and finding out your son,daughter,father ,mother ,friend or whatever relation is not coming back.Killing civilians is a very immoral way to solve disputes.We utterly condemn any terrorism as we do racist genocides that happened in Goldecia."

The Archbishop Lazarus, acting in King Leoric's stead while he is in diplomatic talks, released a statement regarding the Calderan violence: "These intolerable acts of violence must end. There is no point in having any civilization upon this world when people wish nothing more than to kill each other to get their way. While we Sanctuarians know little of the backstory behind this recent tragedy, it is certain to us that it would appear all involved are to blame. Whether or not the stories are true that there are conspiracies in the background perpetrated by one William Henry Sibullia III is of no consequence. The perpetrators, the TRUE perpetrators mind you, must be found and brought to justice."

The Archbishop also took to attacking right-wing newspapers covering the chaos, "These so-called news agencies are only aggravating the present crises in Rhomais, Horreyah and now Caldera. The press, while free, must maintain its journalistic integrity by not twisting other peoples' words for their own self-interests in stirring up trouble. That is what has happened here, and it must stop before even worse atrocities occur."

This has been regarded as the harshest tone any Sanctuary official has taken regarding any of the violence that has taken place thus far. It is unsure whether or not King Leoric himself will make an official statement.

The Caldesar releases a statement,

Caldesar Tiberius I: "Kandus is correct in saying that the perpetrator is King William, all the evidence and the obvious character flaws that possess King William point towards the truth, William must stop further shaming himself and his people and confess his crimes."

Immediately William responds with a statement of his own,

King William III: "The Caldesar is right about one thing, the truth HAS been revealed, the truth that the mighty Caldesar Tiberius is a traitor! Siding with colonist rebels instead of true people of Caldera, as sheer political move and nothing more, I have nothing to do with the attack on the port in Adi, and I will see to it that the Caldesar will pay the consequences for his slanderous words!"

Sibullians that work in the Imperial District of Calderus go on strike and deliver an ultimatum that they will not return to work until the Caldesar retracts the false accusations and attacks upon William's character.

Meanwhile the Sibullian protestors in Weo become further enraged, and they light molotov cocktails and hurl it into the Kandorian Embassy, setting it a blaze, once the news reached Governor Kandus he released a final statement, "It appears the voice of reason has been overturned by violence, very well, you shall reap the consequences and now the Island Confederation of Kandoria takes the latest attack as an act of war, so we will respond in kind in force."

The ICK mass a navy of 30 ships: 3 battleships, 5 frigates, 6 subs, 2 aircraft carriers, 7 subs and 7 transports; each aircraft carrier carries 5 fighters, 6 attack helicoptes, and 3 short-range bombers. This force sets a course for Sibullia, wanting to exact revenge on them first.

The Kandorian navy forms a blockade, cutting off Sibullia from mainland Caldera. Unfortunately, Kandorians had most of Caldera's navy, however fortunately for Caldera and Sibullia in particular the Imperial flagship CIS Alerius sails from the west short of Sibullia,

CIS Alerius


Accompanied by a small contingent of ships: 2 frigates, 2 cruisers, 2 subs and 1 aircraft carrier. Even with the powerful Alerius, they are massively outgunned, the fleet is expected to intercept the blockade in 12 hours.


Meanwhile the Equalist underground plan their next phase, their leader speaks at an underground rally, "Soon the phase will take place, I just received word from our infiltrators that the Kandorians have blockaded Sibullia, as we had suspected, when the moment is right, we will commandeer some of the Kandorian's ships and turn the guns on the Kandorians, the Sibullians will be eternally grateful for saving their asses, and once they see it us, they will feel no choice but to welcome us into their society as equals!" Those who attended the rally cheer and applaud, and a wait the moment they no longer will have to live in secrecy.

The small Calderan fleet led by the flagship CIS Arelius approaches the Kandorian blockade,5 fighters take off from the aircraft carrier, CIS The Great King, while the Arelius and the two frigates, Herald of War and Swift Vengeance fire their guns at the ships on the south end of the blockade. Though the Kandorians have them outnumbered and outgunned, the position of the Kandorian fleet is such that Admiral Picard could sink a good number of them before the rest of the Kandorian fleet is drawn into the fray.

The scene in the air was another story, the fighters are outnumbered 2:1 and are not limited by position like the ships, so almost immediately the 5 fighters were shredded by the Kandorian fighters and anti-air guns. 3 Kandorian fighters were shot down so far by the anti-air guns on the Arelius and The Great King. However Picard fears that they may be overwhelmed by air forces before the rest of the Kandorian fleets arrive, so he places a call for air support to the Imperial Air Command in the Imperial District.


The Equalists that are lying in wait to commandeer Kandorian vessels sit patiently and were fortunate enough to not have any of their ships positioned in the immediate southern point of the blockade.

(OOC: The equalists are underground, and the only person who knows of their existence is Queen Liliana. And there is no prior indication that there were spies or any other kind of intelligence gathering items that would allow you to know that.)

IC: Air Commander Riker receives a message from Picard asking for air support. "Well, it is just better than having them parked on runways all year round" Riker signs an authorization order for 50 fighters and 10 bombers to launch from Air Base Senta in west Allemania to assist Admiral Picard. However in a return message he notifies Picard that it would take some time for the planes to amass in Senta, to which Picard replies, "Well your planes will arrive just in time to see us sink to our watery graves!"

The papers were filled with headlines of the civil war in Caldera and the blockade. It was reported the kingdom was running short of supplies. The Government called for calm in Caldera and in a statement expressed concern at the conflict and the potential loss of lives. Goldecia announced any people seeking shelter should they get to the Goldecian border would be allowed entry when asked by press what they would do if asylum seekers wanted to come to Goldecia. Of particular concern were the people with families in both territories. No Avatar
