She nods "In a week." |
Beck: "I can do 50 pieces." |
"Deal." New franken and Hermes Express 123 |
Beck: "Very good, I will send my engineers to start making what repairs they can. One thing though is we don't have an easy way to transport that many artillery, other than overland, as our only transport is away on a campaign. I'm not to keen on the idea of the moving 50 artillery pieces through Federation territory. However, the Federation does owe the Reich a cargo ship so hopefully, we will be getting that soon. I can have a portion of them here in a few months." |
"Good. If that will be all?" New franken and Hermes Express 123 |
Beck: "I think that is everything, goodbye Major." |
They are stopped for inspection like normal however upon the flag being seen and that weird symbol on it the guard asks about it. After all you can learn a lot about a country from their flag. |
NEW JERSEY, FLEMINGTON, GREEN LANDS ACADEMY In a Vault, an elder sat in the middle of the Commons. The elder had a group of young teenagers gathered around him, the senior Vault Dweller began the story as he had the kids waiting long enough. A story of his experiences pre-war, that was printed on a holotape. [Elder Vault Dweller] "The sun was blazing outside, it was a Sunday at Green Lands Academy. It was the summer of 2064, almost like yesterday I remember..." The Elder Vault Dweller went into a flashback state-of-mind, still telling the story to the children. The Elder, in this case, Charlie Barson, an Executive Prefect in the Academy's disciplinary program; the Prefects, was dragging a delinquent along the collar down the pathway towards the Academy's Security Office. The delinquent had spray-painted the Administration Building something along the lines of profanity. As Charlie and two other Prefects escorted the teenager towards the Security Office, a Security Officer walked out of the structure with two Rob-Co Mr. Handys. Charlie brought the delinquent up to the Security Officer, speaking rather quickly, showing signs that he was in a struggle recently. [Executive Prefect Charlie Barson] "Sir! I had to chase this slippery rat down to the Field, may you please check the cameras? He spray-painted the Administration Building! He tainted it." Charlie handed the Athletics Team delinquent to the Security Officer, from there the Officer escorted him to the Security Officer. The delinquent was punished with a few weeks of community service, cleaning and maintaining the Academy's environment. Charlie and the Prefects had split off after they all agreed they should take a break. Charlie was headed towards the Prefect Lounge to relax and watch the TV that was set up in the Lounge. A group of Barons, rich kids of the Academy, and other students began chasing towards the Academy's front gates as a fight ensued. The teenagers were fighting a group of teenagers/young adults, noticeably some of them were expelled students who were fighting the Academy enrolled students, these expelled students were carrying baseball bats and were actively beating the enrolled children, Charlie checked his watch, it was 10:30 AM. Charlie rushed towards the attackers, unclipping his wooden paddle, and began bashing it into the groups of expelled students. As the fight progress, groups of Prefects joined in on the fight wavering baseball bats as well, looking to defend the Academy and serve some old-fashion justice. Across the Academy, students roamed in small packs, searching for any more invaders to attack. Eventually, the packs of students and invaders accumulated in the parking lot. Barons, Non-cliques, and Prefects were all joined together to defeat these invaders. Sadly, during the fight, the invaders had the time to vandalized the Administration Building. The invaders succeeded in their goal, causing chaos amongst the Academy. The attackers retreated back to the nearby slums. The newsboys of the Academy, GL-Times, was in on it, reporting and taking pictures of the fight and the vandalism. The pictures showed Prefects, Barons, Non-cliques, even a Mr. Handy wailing against the invaders. What a glorious time, in the many memories Charlie Barson has had at the Academy. It's been years since then, and the world has been thrown into a nuclear disaster. Green Lands Academy had a deal with a local Vault, to house a majority of their Faculty and students in change for a large financial exchange. The Vault couldn't turn down capitalism, the Vault housed multiple students and faculty members, ensuring their safety against the Chinese Communists. Vault 592 was a Vault in northern-Flemington in New Jersey. This Vault experimented on the occupants by segregating them depending on their IQs, the high IQs would be segregated from the lower IQs. They'd have to live in separated chambers of the Vault. The Vault forced constant education sessions that lasted from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM, the cliques were made in the Vault, memories were made, and families were passed down. From there, when the Vault released its population, they all flooded back to Green Lands Academy, as a way to find quick shelter. The Headmaster's son, Ed Alves at the time, made a public announcement to those who had returned to Green Lands Academy, a few weeks after the Vault had opened. Ed was speaking in the still-functional PA system. Adults and teenagers alike listened in. [Ed Alves] "I know that we had a rough time in Vault 592... Some of us torn from our families, loved ones, even friends, based on our intelligence. I had no acknowledgment of it, I wasn't even born at the time, most of us weren't. We had no control over it, but now we have been released and we had just met each other. But we all do have a place of origin, at least most of us do, this Academy. Our parental figures either were enrolled or worked at this place, and mine had planned for me to rebuild this place up back to its former glory. I will make this Academy a safe haven for living and academics, my first step in refurbishing this Academy is to build the Faculty team back up. From there Faculty will manage to gather the proper resources from the outside to repair buildings, electrical circuits, the whole list. Adults who are taking shelter will be tried at being Faculty-material and classed will be up and running, offering the minors here proper education as the school is provided a new beginning. I promise you all, that your education and safety is ensured." After that day, the adults that lived at the Academy for safety and shelter were offered a job. Those who failed were given simple jobs like being a Janitor of the Academy. Teachers were picked out, and students were made a schedule for their classes. Enough workbooks and paper were at the Academy to begin classes. The topics the students were being taught ranged from Science, Biology, Radiation, Math, and Physical Education. The Faculty team of Green Lands Academy was leaning for the goal to re-establish proper education along the Wasteland, offer job opportunities, and house minors. Soon enough, the Faculty gathered some of the successful senior students of the Academy, students that were in Junior-Senior grade levels, and those who showed loyalty towards the Academy were ranked as Prefects. These Prefects are a program that handles discipline around the Academy, this will allow the Faculty to focus on classes, protection, and the Academy it's self.

The "diplomats" explain that the flag symbolizes the blue skies of West Virginia, the red for the blood shed in the War, with the Yellow symbolizing the region's greatest export, honey. The star in the middle is the symbol of a prominent religious group that wields significant power in the region. |
This peeked his interest and he asked for a bit more information about the religious group on it. As putting a religions symbol on a flag is tends to only done in a theocracy with the exception of crosses. |
He hands him a pamphlet for the Starlight's Apostles, which has in fact slowly grown in popularity across the RAR. The pamphlet is an explanation of the tenets and does not contain any references to the RAR or to the Commonwealth. |
He starts reading the pamphlet after he is done he lets them though. |

NEW JERSEY, FLEMINGTON, GREEN LANDS ACADEMY Two Green Lands Times articles began flowing around the Academy, it is their first articles in the post-apocalypse. GENEROUS DONATION The Honor Students, or how they like to deem each other, "Barons", of Green Lands Academy decided to conduct a generous act and donated around two hundred Bottlecaps to the GL-Times' cause, earned from most of their father's work, as a Caravaneers or Vendors. GL-Times had been lacking up-to-date equipment and were in desperate need of this. Once receiving this donation, GL-Times spent the money on news and paper-related items. The Barons have now boosted their reputation in a positive way among the students and Faculty of the Academy. Only known to students of the Academy, many seem to speculate that GL-Times and the Barons seemed to have struck a deal where GL-Times will target the Greaser kids and in return gain the respect and Bottlecaps of those snobby kids. And... MCRUFFIN OUT THE DOOR Amidst all the tension in Green Lands Academy, the school President, James McRuffin, was expelled and stripped of his position after he was caught doping up on Chems in one of the school bathrooms. He was seen staggering around the town "high as balls", as one student said in his own words. James was a big shot Jock, but sadly that all went down the drain after today. He was detained and taken back to the Academy by a few Prefects within the town, and eventually expelled by the Headmaster and sent to the curb. As a result of the school President being expelled, the Headmaster has announced that he is opening a race for a new school President. Whichever clique secures one of their members as the school President will get the upper-hand. With these articles published a list was gathered of the candidates for the Student Council President position. "Axel Danvers - Honor Student Program Manager These candidates were selected by the Headmaster, Ed Alves. As the weekend finally came over, most students went to the town, and soon would be met with the invitation to a public show. A small group of students made it a small party with a firepit nearby, it attracted most students of the school to it. But one surprisingly good thing happened, and turned out Clyde organized it to boost up his votes! Most students felt that the party and treatment on the beach were good as it got guarded by the Prefects. And on recent events, it seems that Clyde has the upper hand over power-hungry people who broke out of their leashes and are mainly committing vandalism or buying votes. Posters would be hung at the party, they read as the following; "Why would you vote for the non-clique? Well, why wouldn't you? They wouldn't be biased towards a certain clique unlike the other candidates, and would give action to the less relevant students of the school! Loved by all, vote Clyde Hollows!" - Clyde's Campaign Poster. New Decandsor, Ardentus, and Nootka coast |

New Jersey, Flemington, Green Lands Academy. A few weeks ago a Raider Gang, that goes by the name of "Lurkies", raided the Academy and assaulted students, trashed the buildings, and even burnt down the recording studio. Just a couple days ago they snuck onto the campus grounds again and trashed the Administration Building. This was heard by the Headmaster himself, and when he walked out of his office he was met by Zayn Seif, one of the old leaders and notorious higher-ups for the Lurkies, slamming in a vending machine with a weapon of some sorts. He was accompanied by an African-American male who had a cap and mask that covered the upper part of his face. The Headmaster began yelling at the two Lurkies, which could be heard all throughout the building. They scurried down the steps, and the Headmaster chased after them and caught one by the arm. The Lurkie tripped and fell over the railing, just when a Prefect ran in and detained the Lurkie. As he was rushing him out, a few stink bombs went off in the lobby, leaving all of the buildings with a terrible smell. Prefect Kurtis Boyd, the Prefect who detained the Lurkie, lead him back to the Security Office and placed him into custody. He would return to the Administration Building only to find the Lurkies still huddled out there for some reason. They all began to scurry towards the L-building, two of them heading around the back, and the other two running across the front lawn. Prefect Boyd chased the two behind the building and struck one with his Metallic Flashlight. The Lurkie fell instantly and was soon detained after wrestling around on the ground with the Prefect. The rest of them ran off towards the Pool building, disappearing off the Academy grounds somehow. The other Lurkie was taken back to the Security Office and transported off-campus and beaten severely. They were later identified as Duncan Larcan and Donny Baccheti. |
Pax Romana Chapter 3: Scars FOCIS DEORUM, HEARTH REGION, CAESAR'S LEGION Over three weeks after Caesar III and his army departed to conquer the Dallas Territory, he returns from his campaign, having successfully lead his armies to victory. He expected a happy and jovial greeting when him and his personal Cohort paraded through the capital's streets. However he saw many residents had a cautionary look on their faces. They held suspicions about him deep down, about the incident which led to him ascending to the position of Caesar. Regardless, he kept riding through the streets, his helmet, dented and damaged, still shining in the sun. Arriving at Caesar's Hill, he disembarks and as his Cohort head to their barracks, Caesar III heads to his personal tent, speaking to no one. He enters his own bedroom. It was simplistic, he enjoyed the simple accommodations given to Legionnaires, it reminds him of his days as the Legate who stood beside Caesar I and his successor, Caesar II. He had but a simple cot, given to all Legionnaires, placed on the ground. The only other things in the room was a rack with weapons and helmets and a table with a mirror. He walks over to the mirror and examines the damage done to his helmet. The bullet had left its mark. He felt a deep anger grow in his stomach. Caesar III did not exhibit many emotions, but when it comes to his personal helmets, it hurts him. He removes the helmet and sets it on the table, before turning over to the mirror. Staring back is the horribly scarred face of a broken and battered man. Burn scars cover a massive portion of his head. Jagged scars left by swords and knives cross his face. His eyes were dark and cold, devoid of any emotion. He was so engrossed in his own reflection he didn't notice the Minister enter until he saw him in the reflection. The Minister - "As Children of Mars, we all share scars. Both physical and mental. It is how we are bonded forever in the Grace of the War God. All of his children share the pains of the past, and the yearning for blood." Caesar III - "The people do not respect me. They do not truly see me as their Caesar." The Minister steps closer and puts his cold, scarred hand on Caesar's shoulder. The Minister - "In time they will see the truth as we do. In time they will become Children of Mars. What they are experiencing is inner doubt. They still yearn for that degenerate heathen that was your predecessor." Caesar III remembers his predecessor. She was a young, beautiful, and fierce woman that Caesar I likened to having a child. He named her his Heir, even though the Legate knew it was not a good decision. Even though Caesar III knew killing his predecessor was the only option to save the Legion, he still feels a slight regret deep inside of himself. But he quickly shook it away. He turned back to the Minister. Caesar III - "She is dead and buried. It is time for all of us to move forward. Rally the Centurions and have them meet me here." Caesar III turns back to his damaged helmet and hands it over to the Minister. Caesar III - "Take this to Vulcan and have him repair it. When I give my speech, the people need to see the unbroken, undamaged face of Mars." Grand Enclave, Ardentus, Green Lands, and Nootka coast |
New Jersey, Flemington, Green Lands Academy. Jasper's lift off..? It was a normal day on campus until the Science Club candidate Jasper started dropping pins, leaflets, and shirts around the school. She has done 2 runs doing the same thing. After a few hours, Jasper and other Nerd were seen firing shirts on crowds of students in an annoying matter without any consideration for that. The results of this campaign were rubbish, most posters and shirts were carried away by the wind and/or got stuck on trees, a few pins have hit student's heads and got one or two sent to the infirmary. The shirt firing guns were taken by other students. And it seems that most of the items it was given away on that promotional campaign weren't widely used by most students, as most of them threw it on the trash cans or defaced it. An anonymous tip was earlier sent in, which showed two female Punks completely torching a ‘Vote for Ricky’ campaign shirt. Simon Garand was seen lighting himself ablaze whilst wearing another campaigners merchandise, whilst fellow clique member, Penny Law was seen disrespecting the motor-mouths turf, by hanging a shirt up on the garage door and ripping into it, then continuing to also set it on fire. This is an extremely bold campaign move for the Punks, along with Simon, who may not even have a chance of making it past the first voting poll. The tension on campus between fellow cliques have skyrocketed completely since the election was announced, students seem like they won't be settling until a President is elected for the chair. In other news, Axel Danvers, the threshold and trust fund of the school has returned, completely taking Jennifer’s place in the election as she was deemed unfit for the role. This quick stunt caught many students off guard, considering that it was believed Axel himself was no good other than dead. Ricky Benedato is surprisingly the first candidate out of the race. What's even more surprising is Jasper's ability to score second above Axel Danvers and Cassy Gilbert! However, Hollows holds strong. |
New Jersey, Flemington Park. It was a normal day on the park until the Honor Students decided to host a party/hangout at the park, the people who got there mostly hung out on a sunny day. Until a volley of fireworks comes out from the forest, as men swarmed the park, a lot of students got sprayed by paint and assaulted by the Lurkies, most students had to flee. Now if you think of it, the park was targeted by the Lurkies to raid students multiple times, there was no security at all on this 'party', unlike on Clyde's party a few days ago, thinking of it makes people wonder where Axel's money is really going. New Jersey, Flemington, Green Lands Academy. As a normal day went by, the school was surprised by a series of fireworks, making blinding flashes around the Administration Building. As most students approached, there was a giant S spray-painted on the building. The situation was uncertain until Simon was seen around the Administration Building, refusing to talk with Prefects. Then he moved to the second floor's catwalk and kept threatening the Prefects of jumping, one of the Prefects tried to grab his leg but he jumped off, hitting the floor from a not so tall fall. He is currently recently medical attention. But as the investigation continued, it seems that it's just the nature of the Punks, as anarchists, and by checking recent interviews between Simon and GL-Times it seems that he wanted to 'innovate' his way of promoting his campaign. It seems that it's just the way that the Punks deals with stuff, as anarchists. As we all know, the Varsity and the Science Club are currently in conflict, making raids against each other, but the Jocks have stepped up a notch and innovated warfare! Innovation as in prying a girl's nails off, scalding her with water, and beating her with bats! Such a revolution isn't it? By using this new tactic, they are brutalizing members of the Science Club within a 50 miles radius of each Jock. Of course, the Jocks themselves are already involved with making Jasper bald, but is this really needed to make Cassy win? Resorting from diplomacy to violence is what they seek now. As a normal day went by, students are reporting more common sightings of Lurkies around the Academy. But could this get worse as in interference in the election? Yes. Recently the Lurkies are saying that they're now working with Simon, this only means that the Punks and Lurkies are now holding hands as they will use Simon to dominate the school with the upcoming election. We are not sure if this is consensual or not. The Storm seemed to have stopped with the end of the Nerd Vs Jock conflict but it came back, and stronger. It was advised to evade areas of low security for the student's own safety, the Lurkies have something up their sleeve. Grand Enclave, Ardentus, and Nootka coast |
For Whom the Bell Tolls: Part 6 A Few Days Later Ardentus, Green Lands, and Nootka coast |
New Jersey, Flemington, Green Lands Academy. In the afternoon, chaos and anarchy filled the campus as the Lurkies boldly swarmed into the Academy grounds. They would beat down anyone who stood in their way with blunt weapons. They first passed by the Cafe, where several people witnessed them using Stink Bombs and Soda Bombs to confuse authorities on the scene. Then, the delinquents quickly rushed the indoor Gym and began to leave graffiti tags all over the inside of it, leaving not a single space of wall untouched. Suddenly, just as quickly as they had come, they disappeared entirely before the Security Guards and Mr. Handys could fully get the situation under control. Tonight several students of the Academy lie injured, leaving just one question on everyone's minds; What are the Lurkies going to do next? With the recent reformation of the Punks within the walls of Green Lands Academy, their outrageous and destructive behavior has been left almost completely unchecked. Whether it be socializing with Lurkies while on campus, beating students in front of Peacekeepers, and even beating members of their own clique. It seems that this group of rowdy students is rarely punished for their various awful actions. In the first photo, you are clearly able to see one of these Punks facing a Lurkie rather casually as the bald Lurkie who has yet to be identified looks on (this is seen in the top right of the photo). With rumors spiraling of the Punks having some sort of association with the Lurkies this seems to only be further evidence to support the point. In the second photo, you can see the 2nd-in-Command of the Punks, Aimi Visser, beating a female student in front of several Peacekeepers who seem to turn a blind eye to the violence. In the final photo, you are able to see a Punk push another of his clique members, causing him to cry on the spot. Many people are left with this question, why is it the Punks are not being kept in check by the various authorities on campus when all the trouble that they cause is commonly witnessed? Mind you the leader of the Punks, Simon Garand, is running for President of the Student Body. Why such an unfit candidate was even allowed to run is beyond me. We shall see when this dangerous group of students will finally be reined in and taught a lesson. |
The First Foraging Expedition The U.S.S.R lacks many elements for industrialization. Abundance of Natural Resources, Construction Equipment, and many more. However, we believe that the Cuban Capital, Havana, does have presence of the required materials. Despite how it looks on the map, Havana is a quarantined zone, as that is where the Prison Complex had it's nuclear power reactor. With the chaos of revolution, it was neglected and underwent meltdown. For Six Decades, no one was allowed near the city, which is a radioactive waste. But recent geiger counter measurements showed that it has died down to mostly-safe levels. The quarantine is slightly lifted for Committee Forage Expeditions to enter. 50 Reservists volunteered for the group, all armed with SKS rifles, with 3 clips of ammo each. The Trip was planned to last 3 days, and the group will find metal scrap for making construction tools for future building. Day 1 Entering the husk of Havana, they traverse the ruinous landscape of concrete and rust. The streets were filled with rubble from buildings, broken glass, and abandoned vehicles. It is to the latter than they take their attention, as it could be cut down into smaller pieces for transport, then melted down and reused as metal tools. Somehow, the expedition managed to scavenge above the required quota, leading to a surplus. (dice roll) Day 2 Each man carries a 15 kilo amount of scrap on his back for the journey home. When they return, the populace cheers them for exceeding the quotas, and they get extra privileges in food and shelter. Ardentus and Green Lands |
