Era of Succession(Closed)

The Abrik Talot Space Station, Ⱥthistan ℱederation

The elevator came to a stop at the top level of the station, home to the headquarters of the Federation's military. It was the command center of the Federation to control the armies, navies, and air forces of every country in the world. It also served as the president's control center, where they are kept informed about current situations in the world. The command center didn't expect for some sort of alien vessel to head straight for their homeworld. It was time to prove that the command center was useful.

“What's the situation with the vessel?” the man asked one of the guys on the computers.

“We still don't know.” the guy answered as he was still looking at the computer. Roshawna tried to look like he wasn't scared about the possibility of war with unknown forces. He kept a straight face on as he saw the man starting to walk away. It was until the guy stopped them from leaving.

“Wait. We have footage coming in for the Priucan navy that was on patrol near the city of Cleim.” the guy said as he went straight to the footage. Everyone circled the screen as the footage began. It showed the ship as a loud booming sound was heard. Then, the ships started to fire at the vessel and nothing happened as the ship kept going towards the city. The navy tired to move out of the way, but they were too slow as some of the ships were destroyed as soon as the crashed into the body of water.

The last seconds of the footage saw the ship dragging into the city before the footage was ruined by the body of water heading towards the ship. The people in the command center couldn't believe it themselves. Roshawna asked the guy, “Have we heard anything about the news outlet?” The guy realized that they could be filming the crash site and started to look for news outlets in Cleim.

He found several of them had just arrived at the crash site and clicked on one of them and everyone started to watch.

Cleim, Priuca, Ⱥthistan ℱederation

“Are we on the air?” the reporter questioned the camera operator as she was checking herself out. They were in their news van as they were driving towards the crash site while the sounds of sirens could be heard around the city. “Yes.” the operator said as he pointed the camera at her as he put down the mirror and grabbed the microphone next to her.

“Hello and welcome to the news. We are bringing you, the viewers, footage of the crash site for the first time. It's possible that the unknown vessel could belong to an alien race that has advanced technology. We haven't heard anything from the chief of police, the mayor, and the government of Priuca about the situation. They could be watching at this moment-.”

“We are here!” the driver shouted as he stopped the van and looked around the area.

“Alright, we have just arrived at the site. I will get the door open and we'll get to the site on foot.” she proclaimed as she got one hand on the microphone and another on the handle. She pressed the handle and pushed the door opened. They were shocked by the impact as they got out of the van. The driver stayed near the van as he saw people going to the site as well.

She looked around before facing the camera and saying to the viewers, “This is terrifying. We are hearing crying and screaming along with sirens for the emergency response teams to help the wounded.”

They kept walking forward as they saw more and more people heading for the site as well. She kept speaking as she tried to walk backwards to keep an eye on the camera. “People are coming to take pictures of this historic moment. We are trying to set up nearby the crash site, but there are so many people here.”

She kept walking until she couldn't get ahead anymore and decided to stay here. The camera operator set up to view both the reporter and the people behind her. The smoke started to clear up as they got a better view of the crashed vessel and he couldn't believe the size of it. She turned around the saw the large ship as she almost dropped her microphone out of shock. She gasped in shock and horror of seeing the ship for the first time. People were also shocked by the ship. Then, it started to move since it crashed. The camera operator started to film the ship as a piece of the alien vessel begun to move, it seemed to be a large door was opening.

Everyone was dead silent as the boarding ramp followed behind the door and crashed down to the ground. Then, a small creature exited out of the ship. It was scared and confused by the large crowd.

“Holy shit.” the woman said silently as she saw the creature for the first time.

Everyone couldn't believe that they are seeing an alien for the first time in their lifetime. This encounter will be forever historic to billions of people in this world. Then, a child with his father approached the creature. The father held out his hand towards the creature in hopes of achieving peace for his nation. The creature grabbed his hand in sign of friendship, but it had something else in mind as it growled and made a wide grin. Then, the creature attacked the father.

People were horrified by the sudden attack on the father as the child scared in horror. They began to run as more of them came out of the vessel and started to attack everyone. The woman looked at the camera operator in horror and shouted to him, “Run!”

They started to run away from the creatures as people were screaming in horror or pain. So many people were in the impact zone that it was impossible to not bump into someone. The camera operator still held on tight to his camera as it was still on, meaning that people around the world saw the attack. Gunshots could be heard as an officer tried to fire at them with his gun, but he would realize that it was a big mistake. The creatures mauled the officer after killing one of their own.

The news crew was near their van as the creatures were getting closer. The driver opened the door and yelled, “Get in!”

The woman ran towards the van, hoping that she could reach it. The camera operator was the first one to reach to the van as he got inside and placed down the camera. The driver raced towards the driver seat to leave as soon as the woman got inside. The operator saw the woman as she came closer to the van, but the creatures were heading towards them as well. However, he couldn't leave her behind to get killed. So, he reached out to her with his hand as she was near him.

The driver started to leave as things were getting too hot for him to handle. She saw his hand and grabbed it as the van as leaving the zone. With all of his strength, he managed to pull her into the van. The driver managed to leave the area by running over one of the creatures. They left at a perfect time as larger creatures with weapons started to exit out of the ship. The news crew was breathing heavily after running away from them.

She hugged and thanked the operator for saving her life. He smiled and hugged back as he was about to cry with tears of joy. The woman pointed to the camera and asked, “Is this thing still on?”

The man nodded as he grabbed it and looked at the camera before turning it off.

The Abrik Talot Space Station, Ⱥthistan ℱederation

“Wow.” the guy said in shock of the whole situation. He checked other news channels, but most of the news crews at the zone were killed in the matter of seconds as footage of their murders were watched by billions of people. Roshawna watched the whole thing played out as he walked towards him and placed his hand on his shoulder.

“Thank you. Without your help, we won't know what's going on.” he maintained a positive outlook to the horrible situation.

The guy nodded and said to him, “Your welcome, sir. My name is Dejen Iyasu.” He was selected to help out the Federation with this station. And he was a hacker for the Echua military, meaning that he was an excellent hacker. Since Echuna funded on cyberwarfare more than any other, he got training from the best of the best. He managed to hack into news stations and private channels without setting off any alarms. That's why the Federation always looked for the best.

“Keep up the hard work, Dejen.” Roshawna ensured Dejen before walking to the hologramed map of Cleim. This war against unknown forces began with the invasion of Cleim and it'll end at Cleim.

Cleim, Priuca, Ⱥthistan ℱederation

Captain Rasjog Phulsawal looked in horror as the ship was still in one piece despite the sudden crash landing. She had ordered the fleet to move away from the ship's impact zone; but, it was too late. Five ships were lost in the matter of seconds and two more were sunk by the waves. The remaining fleet didn't know what to do next. The captain went back outside to where Private Varinder Ganwan was at.

He was looking at the ship as the smoke cleared up. The captain walked to the private and asked him, “Are you alright?”

The private turned towards the captain and said, “Besides being scared to death, I am alright.”

He sighed as he still was looking at the massive ship and the collapsed skyscrapers. Thousands were dead as the ship dragged across the city. Even if people tried to run away, they were crushed by the ship. Sirens could be heard all over the city as everyone was trying to respond to the situation. Then, they heard something much worse. Screaming. The captain, with her earpiece on, called the commander. “What the hell is going on?” she demanded the answers as gunshots could be heard. “Holy shit.” the private said as he realized what was going on. He stepped back for the guardrail and turned to the captain as she waited for answers.

“There are still aliens aboard the ship.” he answered her question. She didn't want to believe it. The crash must of killed all of the crew members. There was no way that they could survive a crash like that. If they could survive this crash, then they are unstoppable.

“That's impossible. The crash would of killed everyone aboard the ship.” she proclaimed as she couldn't believe that life was still on board.

“Just think about it. How was the ship able to crash and then drag it across the body of water? And how else is it still able to 'bloom'?This was planned.” Ganwan hypothesized the idea of aliens aboard the ship.

She knew that the private was right, but she needed answers for Priuca Command. She kept trying to contact him, but all attempts had failed. Until, she was called to the combat information center for a debrief about the situation in Cleim. She requested that the private came along to the CIC and he agreed. They arrived at the center moments before Priuca Command updated the situation in Cleim. Ganwan was right, aliens were still alive on the ship and they have started their attack on the citizens.

The Priuca Command told the remaining fleet that ground forces were coming in the matter of hours, but the air force would arrive in the matter of seconds to provide aid to the attack on the ship. The ground forces would set up camp nearby Grace Tunnel and Koriu Bridge before advancing to the city. At these points, they will set up headquarters to establish communications with Priuca Command and the Federation forces. The captain and the other crew members heard that as they saluted and went back to their jobs.

Phulsawal ordered all ships to aim their guns at the ship and wait until the air support arrived. It took them a few minutes to set up and redirect the ship's gun to aim at the vessel. By the time that they had set up, the air force arrived within the airspace of Cleim. She kept an eye out for the air support, which were just several jets. As soon as the jets got nearby the fleet, she ordered all ships to fire at the vessel with their guns. With the support of the jets, she thought that the ship would finally blow up.

But, nothing happened to it as the smoke cleared up and the ship was still 'blooming'. She kept getting more pissed off that the ship wasn't destroyed as she kept ordering all ships to fire. It would be awhile before the ships would run out of bullets to use on the ship.

@Chapatrap, your nation has been approved. I believe that you and @Doctoryzer can bring life back to this roleplay.

@TheEvanCat, your nation has also been approved. Mexico is an interesting nation to pick.

@deathkiller, I am fine with you having thirteen states as long as you understand that this nation roleplay isn't about winning. Are y'all alright with it or should I divide it up?

@DeadBeatWalking, I am fine with that. It'd be interesting to see where our characters' relation goes.

Like what Mr. Allen J said, I am also free to discuss relations.

Point of No Return (Extreme Great Depression Alternate History)

London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
Prime Minister Watson Joseph read the newspaper about the revolution in Germany between Hitler and Wilhelm II. Their armies marched all over Germany to control the important cities and resources, like the Kiel Canal. The canal is currently under the control of Wilhelm II, but that could change at any moment as Hitler's forces are getting ready to attack. Berlin is controlled by Hitler and the main base of his army. Wilhelm II is located in Hanover for the moment as they are planning some sort of attack.

The Weimar Republic had been gone for four years since Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor and enacted the Enabling Act. However, the Imperials rose up to counter the fascist government. Either way, the aftermath would be disastrous for the British Empire. And with the fall of The United States, countries were becoming careless as they didn't have to worry about America anymore.

His focus on the newspaper changed as he heard a knock on the door. He put down the paper and said that the door was open. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs opened the door and walked up to the Prime Minister. “Have you come a decision yet?” he burst out almost immediately before saying hello.

“Are you pressuring me?” Joseph asked.

“The King would like an answer as soon as possible. He's doesn't want to wait any longer.” the Secretary of State clarified.

The Prime Minister stood up and signed heavily as he went to the window nearby and looked at the busy street. Joseph didn't like being pushed or pressured to make any decisions. He'd rather look into the situation, but he had plenty of years to do that. And the answer to simple: Help Wilhelm II to rescue Germany and re-establish the German Empire. Even known the answer wasn't the one that he had hoped, he'd rather have them than Nazi Germany.

“Alright, I support the re-establishment of the German Empire by sending supplies and a couple divisions to Hanover.” he answered the question as he handed the secretary the piece of paper that gave approval.

The Secretary smiled as he grabbed the paper off of the Joseph's hands and walked away. He thanked him as he was walking away to give the paper to the King.

Joseph sat back down on the desk and looked at the paperwork that he had to do for the day. Most of the paperwork was from the establishing relations with the new countries in America. The socialist countries were questionable as the country didn't have good relations with the USSR and China since the revolution in India. These countries could hate the country, but he knew that they still have to try to establish some sort of relations with them. The other countries were more likely to be good friends to the British Empire. Especially the Pacific States of America.

He wrote requests for an embassy and trade in each of the nations and sent them in the mail, where they are being sent to the governments of those countries.

Cape Town, South Africa
“How are we doing with the supplies?” one of the soldiers asked as he was going over the paper works from the military. The order was to improve the navel base in the city for the fleet to stop for fueling or repairs while going around Africa. The fleet has gotten bigger since the First World War and the time to travel around Africa is still the same. So, the military began a series of building and updating naval bases around their colonies to help combat the depression.

“Most of the supplies arrived for the last drop off. The remaining supplies will be here before dawn.” another soldier said as he set down a box full of wires next to other boxes. He walked towards the soldier to wait for more orders.

“Alright, we'll wait then. Until then, we are break.” the soldier said as he walked back to his commander's office. The commander, Christopher Porter, had just existed out of his office as the soldier approached him. Porter was fifty-six years, meaning that he was in the First World War. He doesn't like to share the stories of the front lines during his time in the war. The war turned him into a harsh, strict person.

“Sir.” the soldier saluted to Porter.

“How are the shipments?” Porter asked as he was locking up the door to his office.

“They are fine, sir. Most of the required supplies were in the shipment. The remaining supplies will come in by dawn.” the soldier answered while he held on the paper.

“Good.” the commander said as he walked towards the forlite saloon. He opened the door as the soldier followed him to the car. “What should I do then?” he asked.

“Why don't you do something else than bug me?” Porter suggested to the soldier as he got in the car and started it up. He left the naval base for some reason that was classified to discuss. The soldier walked away and headed to the other soldiers. They were playing blackjack as the soldier saw them nearby one of the docked ships. Some of the sailors had joined in the game.

“Alright, gentlemen. It's time to show off your cards.” one of the sailors declared.

All of the cards were shown off and only one was able to get twenty-one. Cameron Fletcher was the winner of the game as he grabbed some coins and a fresh bottle of rum. The other players were annoyed by the defeat and some left the table as they had nothing worth of value to deal in. Fletcher walked towards the soldier and offered his drink. The soldier smiled at the offer, but he turned it down.

“Whatever.” Fletcher said as he took a drink. He instead gave him some of the coins that he got from the game, but it wasn't worth much.

“Thanks.” he thanked as he put the coins in his pocket before being dragged by him. They both had been in the army for a while and joined because their fathers were in the war and they wanted to honor their service. A lot of casualties happened during the war as the front line was horrible. After the war ended, tons of people were recruited into the military services. Since the Britain was still a colonial empire, most of them received their training and went to one of the colonies. Africa was a common place to send soldiers since unrest has been growing.

Because of the India revolution, the government was worried that more colonies might attempt to rebel against them. That's why soldiers are being sent to the colonies rather than staying in their homeland. They want to protect their resources as long as they can. The guys walked to the military barracks, where other soldiers were as well. Most of them were resting after working in the heat for most of the day. Fletcher walked to his bed and sat on it as the soldier went to his bed next to Fletcher's. He was wiping the sweat off of his forehead as he finished up the rum. The soldier looked at the empty glass. He started to talk, “Are you ready for more lifting tomorrow?”

“It's the last shipment and lifting that we have done for a long time. I am ready to get it done.” Fletcher said as he lay down on the bed. The soldier decided to take a quick nap and told Fletcher, “Shout at me if something happens.”

“I will. Just get some shut-eye.” he said as he was looking at the coins that he won. The soldier quickly fell asleep.
