Space Race 1950: Road to the Stars

UESP

Contrary to the papers belief... This mission hadn't gone entirely as planned. They hadn't landed the ship on the moon as intended, but nonetheless they got what was required...
Now that the Super computer was finished, they had what they required for their venture... To land a monkey, HC (Harold Cheshire) on the moon, and bring him home. The UESP did not cut corners, unlike the UEAS and the Lance. There was pressure from above to launch the manned flight now, and Timish had insisted they launch a monkey first. But there was discontent in parliament... Churchill had jumped on the chance to get a reelection and demanded outright that they send a man. Against Timish protests, Imperial Two was to be manned. Timish has made no public appearance since, save a single announcement denouncing Churchill for forcing the UESP to breach reasonable scientific methods. There are rumours that he has resigned, but no one is sure whether these are true or not.

Criticism of UEAS

Churchill has waded in to support the movie, stating that the UEAS should do more to represent the German people as the UE has strives to do. Queen Elizabeth commented that it was in favour of democracy to represent all the peoples of a nation, and has said that the UEAS should strive to better recognise the German culture and truly integrate it with their own in as many ways as possible to ensure the two identities become bound together.

Yeah... Uh... I am going to use less than 10% for my military because I don't think many successful, non-conscripting countries are going to have a standing force that is 10% of their total pop

Uh... But it isn't very frequent? Weren't the Equestrians and the LCF/AIF/EA actually the only ones who used it? Everyone else seemed to use their own language. Right now only 3 of the eight or so factions speak it as a primary I believe... And of those 3, one is a fringe chaos group and another is a fledgling, primitive nation. And those factions only have a small part of the galactic population. Its not very standard when only a handful use it :p

"This is not open for debate, all must evacuate this system immediately. Priority alert: The defensive plan is liable to cause huge collateral damage to the worlds. I calculate huge loss of life if you do not move to evacuate all non-essential personnel. Resident notice: Equestrian ships detected in system, advise you ask them for assistance in removing the non-military personnel. In the case of the humans, full evacuation is required. Your lack of ships degrades the usefulness of the nations for defences. Bring your planetary defences onli... You have a planetary defence grid, correct?" The AI was calculating the chances of success... If the plan for defence failed, the galaxy would have a 0.1% chance of surviving past the first month... And then a 0.0000001% chance of surviving past the second. They had to hold the line here...

Imperial admiral

"That is most fortunate for us. Do you have knowledge of the devices used for inter-universal travel?" The officer said, as the Saeva Simius turned back to him and grunted something, the officer nodded in response
"Move us to Nova Prospekt" The overseer behind him ordered, and the Saeva Simius slammed his fist into his chest, before using the device on his wrist again

Keyguyperson said
The blue glow of a plasma shield covered the port in a quarter sphere, a fleet of twenty Antarctican warships stood prepared to depart for the outside world. Only the veteran soldiers of the group had a skin color other humans would consider normal (Either a heavy tan or normal darker skin colors). The rest of them had pale white skin (Or the darker skin of their parents), having never seen the light of day in their lives. It was 0900 Hours, but the sky was dark and filled with stars. It was the day on which the sun never rises, and the city dwellers stared up at the stars through the plasma shield in awe, having never seen the sky before. "I heard we'll have the Chairman coming with us." Said one of the veterans, speaking to an older one."Yeah, the guy's a city dweller though. I wouldn't expect much from him." Said the other veteran."Sssh, here he comes!" Exclaimed the soldier, looking down from the conning tower of the AUS , one of the Navy's Zumwalt-Class Destroyers. The two saw the Chairman on the dock, looking up at the sky in wonder. The other veteran laughed quietly to himself. The Chairman, obviously, didn't hear it. He was wearing extremely long formal robes, thick and white in color with gold outlines as well as two gold triangular patters on the front, connected with a single gold line. The sleeves were impractically large, hanging down far below his arms.and allowing one to see his white military uniform he was wearing underneath. He stepped onto the gangway, taking great care to not get his robes snagged on anything. After reaching the deck of the he walked up to an intercom terminal."Attention all hands!" He said "This is Chairman Fergus McClain, we will depart for the North immediately! This expedition will attempt to contact outside nations, if there are any left after the inevitable world wars that have occurred since our isolation! Today, we leave Antarctica, today, we leave the cities!"A cheer went up as the ships left dock and headed out of the plasma shield, circular holes appearing to let them through. Helicopters escorted them as well, holes also appearing for them. All in all, the force totaled 30 helicopters, 15 Zumwalt destroyers, and five resupply vessels."Chairman! Unidentified vessel, it's a speedboat sir! Orders?"The fleet had encountered a lone speedboat off the shore of a particularly isolated area. It was obviously quite far from any Naval base, and didn't seem to be transmitting any known codes."I want all of our lights on it, fire a railgun round over their heads to show them we mean business."The loud of a railgun charging could be heard for about thirty seconds, and then the darkness was cut by the superheated plasma from the round's sheer speed like a knife through butter. The speedboat was illuminated for a few seconds as the round sped past it, heading off into the distance until it fell into the ocean. Spotlights went on, bathing the speedboat in light. A loudspeaker amplified the Chairman's voice as he called out to the unidentified vessel, with his own ship's laser weapons pointed right at it."This is Chairman Fergus McClain, identify yourselves and state your allegiance!" He yelled. The destroyer was close enough that those on the speedboat could see him, he had a pale white, yet fragile looking face, and was wearing a stark white military uniform. His expression showed both curiosity and the knowledge that he was in complete control of the situation. Thinking about the stories he had been told as a child, he continued."Are you Americans?" He said, horribly botching the word "Americans", emphasizing the 'I" far too much and pronouncing "-cans" as if he meant the hollow cylinder of metal type.

The two south Africans on the boat had ducked down into it after hearing the railgun firing. The woman cursed loudly and demanded to know if he had stolen the boat, which he fervently denied. The two squabbled for a few moments before hearing the calls of Chairman Fergus
"Call the emergency services" he hissed to her, as he slowly raised up and looked out the vessels, before slowly shaking his head "No... I'm a Commonwealth Citizen from the country of South Africa... You are a long way from America" he said, gulping as he looked up at the ship. Meanwhile, the woman fumbled around in her pocket before finding her cell phone and dialing 999 to put through the report that a fleet of ships had showed up in commonwealth waters.
They needn't have bothered, the commonwealth already knew... Two super sonic aircraft made a pass at sub sonic speeds, the pilot of the right hand on peering down before reporting back "Don't recognise them, but it looks like a warfleet. Some pretty decent technology from what I can see.... Alright, I'll make another pass, let us turn..."
