Operation Twirling Tassel: Sea of Fate

[Union]

"S Hind signalling a DASH-SIX-FIFTY-COLD," the HCO shouted out.

The captain immediately turned to Yula. "Turn it off now! Phase array air radar on and countermeasures on high alert! All crew prepare to abandon ship!"

Ensign Ayin quickly switched on the air radar. Dash 650 Cold...what was that again? Then she remembers, and immediately knew what was going on. She checked the passive radar monitor...just that moment several bogeys popped up on screen and the alarm sounds.

"Several incoming bogeys!" the ensign cries out. "sixty-clicks and closing at Mach 1+, bearing 300!"

"HCO, dispatch to bridge! Tell the Lieutenant to steer hard on mark! Now!" the captain shouted out. "Ensign, target only munitions headed for us, do not engage the planes!"

"Sir!" she protested. "Targeting the planes will give us a higher chance..."

"You stand down on that comment! We're on strict orders not to engage!"

""But Sir!"

"Captain! Air search is picking up nothing! Possible stealth bogeys!"

"Monitor with passive and optical! Put RAM on manual, target only munitions! All crew prepare to abandon ship!" 

[Union]

Attention unknown air bogeys, this is the L.C.S Mystica of the Loyanese Navy. You are flying in attack pattern towards our position, please state your intentions.

[Validus]

"This is Valideen Naval Flight Seven Fife Foxtrot. attention Layanese vessel you have committed and aggressive act against the Valideen Navy, over." the two fighters lowered in altitude as they came closer to the ship.

[Union]

Attention Validean aircraft, negative on your accusation. You are committing an intention to attack. Be warn that you are in international waters and will be subjected to the full consequences of your actions. Adjust your course by thirty degrees immediately.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"They're coming on an approach! 30 clicks!"

"Attention bridge! Hard on portside!" the captain shouts through the intercomm. "Bow to 290 degrees! On the double!"

[Validus]

"I'm sorry Layanese but we are responding to a deliberate attempt fam our naval freqs. Any hostile acts against this or other aircraft in this flight will be responded to in kind, over."

The fighters fast towards their target vessel. each fighter individually capable of sinking it if they had to.

"Flight this is Hotdog, stay fast, stay low, and we will see what we are going to do once we make contact. Remember there is a possibly hostile carrier in the area so Spencer and Vick you are going to cover us as we attempt to make a visual assesment of the vessel, over"

"Roger that, over."

"Ok, so remember the ROEs and that this is chess, we are all just pawns. out"

~Thanato

[Union]

"Get everyone away from the bow, clear section one and two!"

The Valideans are more trigger happy then he thought. Well, best to minimize damage to the ship. He turned to the EO.
"Break radio silence, broadcast a distress code. Prepare to transfer encoded system logs and deck videos to headquarters upon damage. Ready countermeasures!"

[Validus]

The fighters flew closer to the vessel. "Ok, that ship looks like its getting into an attack pasture. Everyone stay on course."

The four F-35s flew 100 meters off the surface of the water moving towards the vessel.

The two aircraft carriers of the High Seas Fleet turned to the direction of the Loyanese fleet. Word had come that the Valideen had sent in fighters. Admiral Charles Davidson was in command of the High Seas Fleet from the largest of the two carriers, the Artorion-class supercarrier George Artorion I. He looked over at the Viraat-class carrier Remembrance. They were preparing their fighters. The Admiral turned on the intercom. "This is Admiral Davidson. I want a full-strength wing up and sent to the corridinates of the Loyanese fleet. We are not to engage unless fired upon, but I want you to be aware." He hung up the intercom. The room went red as full battle stations was called. "How did a normal exercise turn into a rescue mission?"

Lord Admiral Hudson listened as a distress beacon came to the Inglish Cloumbia from the Loyanese fleet. He knew the missile cruiser wasn't far from the Loyanese. He turned to the helmman. "Take the ship straight to the Loyanese. Put us at the fastest speed you can get to do. They need help."

Commodore Cartier looked at the admiral. "What about the rest of the High Seas Fleet?"

Marko gave Cartier a report. "The rest of the High Seas Fleet is on it's way. But we are the closest to the Loyanese."

Cartier nodded. The intelligence officer at the radar turned his chair. "Admiral, Commodore, we have an entire wing of Avro Arrow IIs flying to the Loyanese."

Marko looked at the screen. "Good, now the Valideen are about to play a dangorous game of chess."

The Avro Arrow IIs moved towards the Loyanese fleet. Naval Wing Commander Daniel O'Niel watched as a silouette of a Loyanese vessel came into view. Lucky for him that the Avro IIs had stealth capabilites, so the Valideen won't pick them up for a while. The twenty Avro IIs were not as powerful as the the F-35s, but they had speed and manuverability that the F-35 could only dream of. So Wing Commander O'Niel knew that if a battle broke out, that would be his advantage, as well as numbers. He decided to radio the Loyanese ships.

"This is Naval Wing Commander Daniel O'Niel of the Canadian Navy, calling the Loyanese commander. We are here to help you. I have twenty jets under my command, and the Inglish Columbia with her escorts should be here any minute. The High Seas Fleet has deemed it neccesary to aid you. The rest of the fleet will be arriving soon after the Inglish Columbia.

OCC: The Avro Arrow IIs resemble large modren versions of the German Me-262 with stealth capabilities.

"Bow is pointing towards bogeys!" shouted out Ensign Ayin. "All personnel cleared and hatches under lock!"

"Good, that should minimize damage," shouted out the captain. "Reverse engines, get all non-essential personnel overboard!"

[Delfos]

"Valideen Admiral? Hi I'm Pedro Coelho, I've been sent by the Delfian Command Center to assist on an issue. It seems there's some misunderstandings. If the Loyan fleet is moving away, ignore them, we do not wish to start a conflict. Although we have tankers and fighters ready, and the secret emergency retaliation control is ready for action. The Delfian Command asks you to refrain from any aggression to this Mayonese fleet. Please ask your fighters to come to base. We can deal with their fleet at any time."

[Varkour]

The Varkourian fleet had finally entered international waters north of the horn of Valhene and were heading towards the Validean fleet. Dassault Rafale pilots had been brought up to date with the situation and were told their services may be needed.

"Contact the Validean fleet, They may need help. Canadian ships have turned back around and are heading east fast."

"Make sure the planes are ready to go."

[Aquatoria]

Lord Admiral Hudson arrived at the area where the Loyanese fleet was. The Inglish Columbia moved to a better position near the Loyanese. He took out his binoculars. He could see a carrier, and two familiar battleships. "Those are the battleships we sold to the Loyanese. I didn't know they were here. Look's like the Loyanese have taken good care of the Inglish Columbia's sister ships." The commodore looked as well. Hudson took the radio. "Loyanese Commander, I am Lord Admiral of the Navy of the Greater Canadian Empire on board the heavy missile cruiser Inglish Columbia. We are here to escort you to safe Canadian waters and to the harbors of Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Anchorage." He hung up the radio and waited for a response.

"This is the trans... *spishhhhhhh* ...ritime registration number C-558-UW we are carryin.... *spishhhhhhh* ....icals, can you hear us?  Repeat this is th... *spishhhhhhh* ...port Merry Widow Selid maritime registra.... *spishhhhhhh* ....re carrying petrochemicals can you hea.....*spishhhhhh*

OOC: just thought I'd do something as you are passing through areas where my nation would have merchant shipping. 

[Aquatoria]

Commodore Cartier could hear the scramble from a Selid ship near the zone where the four fleets were converging. Admiral Hudson gave him a nod. Commodore Cartier picked up the radio. "Merry Widow, this is the Canadian heavy missile cruiser Inglish Columbia. You are entering a dangerous zone. We advise you change your course for the Port of Halifax and you will recieve instructions from there. Respond." He waited for an answer. Hudson walked over. "This is the fourth merchant ship we have had to send to Halifax because they were entering this region. Well, this should be over soon."
