TOP SECRET - Project Zabid (technology)

[Delfos]

Nation News: "In the outskirts of Zabid, in Mahara region - New Delfos, please claim to see a light in the sky falling down, most of them say that at 1st they thought it was another missile from the Zabid Missile Industry, others ray it was too large to be a missile. Authorities deny the whole thing, what they did found at the supposed crash site was a meteor. Further investigation revealed that the Minister of Research and Technology, Karl Meinsgart, came in town 2 days ago, what are they really up to?

Irvina Makanova (reporter): Minister Meinsgart, was the object seen yesterday in the skies a meteor?

Karl Meinsgart (minister): Not at all my dear, it was an experiment! You see? We'r trying to put something in the orbit of the planet, yesterday we were making an experiment on the new rocket system, it worked perfectly but our reports say the main tank failed because the security valves were shut. Malfunction my dear, see? The rocket went out of gas and came down burning the other tanks.

reporter: This is amasing, can we know what do you want to put in orbit of the planet, Minister Meinsgart?

minister: Im sorry, that is confidential for now, but we would gladly show the rocket, to celebrate yesterday's success *cough* and failure *cough* we'r having a party this afternoon, everyone invited! The celebraty is the rocket itself! Come later on my dear, i'll be pleased to show you great things i myself bring to the future!

(minister walks away)

And that is all from now, picture of Gulian Garbarev, Irvina Makanova, NN in Zabid"

[Delfos]

later on even the press came, report from The Boyenator newspaper, specialized in politics and military programs:

"Yesterday we attended to a lovely party by the grace of Minister of Research and Technology, Karl Meinsgart. The party was to show the progress of an unknown research, that planes to launch something into space, in the outskirts of Zabid, in the Zabid Missile Industry testing grounds. The main atraction was the Zabid Rocket version 7, aka Zabid V.


photos taken at the scene, labeled afterwards by the Zabid Missile Industry.

Words from Karl Meinsgart:
"Hello and welcome everyone! It is a lovely afternoon today, the sky is clear and everything is perfect to tomorrow's launch! Our forecasts show perfect conditions, you see? This baby will fly into space! This is a great achievement, and when it is complete it will an even greater achievement for our government and great nation! Please enjoy those free stakes and free juice and booze, they are the best quality there is. Enjoy your meal and view!

The minister avoided any questions after the speech, beyond that, we had very tasty stakes and 'juice'. My guess is that the minister wasnt lying when he said they were best quality. We tried to research about Zabid R7, no information was found, there is actually no info about Zabid rocket/missile research area. Now i know, i will never miss a Meinsgart's party again!

The Boyenator reporter: Gustav Delacroix."

[Delfos]

the scene was set, the Zabid V was going up the air. There was flyouts all over the main viewing balcony for the press, saying the content of the Zabid V was a technological experiment ran by local scientists, and a New Delfos tv network satelite, wich was heavly supported by the military for having a very potent camera installed by them.

"T-20 and counting.....10...5, 4, 3, 2, ignition, 0...ZabidR7 lifting. He's off the surface, lauch is a success"



After the liftoff there was champaign bottles opened anywhere, everybody was so happy that havent though for the rocket anymore, party party party was what Northen New Delfos was all about. Everyone got drunk, even reporters...

People in Daimiaena and Arasel claim to have seen high speed UFO over the skies. Some believe aliens have came to colonize the planet, it's a comet you silly bastards!, claim others.

From: Royal Takasia Foreign Relations

While in Takasia we observed some flying object (which we believe is the Zabiv V) in the far east and far south, it did not seem either to be in our airspace, nor have we received any damage report because of this. We will keep you informed if there is any update on the situation.

sincerely,
Head of Foreign Relations, Aurelius Diplomas

[Zimmerwald]

To: Minister of Research and Technology of New Delfos, Karl Meinsgart

We did receive reports of a flying body west of our airspace, and it was observed in the sky for several minutes before it disappeared.  No debris or residue of any sort has yet been found in our territory or territorial waters, and it seems that we have escaped harm.

This is a good thing especially because of the trouble's we've been having with the northern and Jutensan rice viruses, and Advancement of Science's resources would have been very stretched if we had sustained damage.

We will notify you if we discover anything more,
Salah Qen, Advancement of Science Committee Chairwoman, Gallipoli-China

We received several reports of a U.F.O flying south over Ginto, but it vanished before we could investigate.
We will keep you informed if there is any update on the situation.

From: Minister of Research and Technology of New Delfos, Karl Meinsgart
To: Committee Chairwoman of Advancement of Science, Salah Qen

Hello Chairwoman Salah Qen, our requests havent been answered yet, please check your foreign relations chairman's telegrams. We urge for the implementation of our new communications system. Our New Delfos Zabid-Tech Satellite I is capable of transmitting safe video-conferences, no interference, all far from spy eyes and ears. The security system is very tigh, all connections must be verified by login and password, and any illegal access is logged and shut down immediatly. Our 1st Airforce Squadron would sweep the location of this illegal activity for terrorists or spies. We also offered few woden boxes containning Video-Conference Suitcases (VCS) and Video-Conference Comunication Screens (VCCS) where all those could be applied to Gallipoli-China's government. We need this so we can start more serious negotionations, While we do not have to travel to your country nor you to ours, we would not spend money, time and pollute the skies, this is an economic and evironmental issue. Please check those telegrams we'v sent to your foreign relations and reply as soon as possible

Your homologue of New Delfos

[Zimmerwald]

To: Minister of Research and Technology of New Delfos, Karl Meinsgart

Let me apologise for the delay; the requests fell under the direction of Foreign Relations rather than Advancement of Science.  The PIUC International Airport's Gate Three shall be reserved for your use, and you will be met by representatives of our government.  We are happy to send an ambassador to New Delfos; please expect our delegation sometime next week.

Aram Caros, Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, Gallipoli-China

[Delfos]

And so Birkov Fortress arrives PIUC International Airport.

Pilot A: "This is Birkov Fortress, permission to land for Gate 3."
Tower: "Gate 3 is reserved just for you, please land in runway 2R, permission granted."
Pilot B: "Look at that, there's a first time for everything, reserved runway, i hope they have reserved rooms for us too!"
Pilot A: "OK, We'r landing on runway 2R"

Birkov Fortress lands, the cargo hold is opened and all NDAF staff goes out armed. Yuri Papovish follows up, he stopped, looks around, smells the air and: "God, i love this country!"
NDAF staff: "Sir shall we unload the cargo?"
Ambassdor Yuri Papovish: "Yes sure, and why are you all jumpy? We aint going to be attacked here, lower your weapons"
Pilot A: "Where did they get those fancy weapons?"
Pilot B: "G36E, probably from Golmert Guns, anyway are you up to find some place to sleep?"
Pilot A: "Sure let's go."
Yuri Papovish: "Where do you think you'r going?"
Pilot A: "we'r trying to find a place to stay, sir"
Yuri: "Oh really? Anyway, both have to hear your orders, got a contact yesterday in my VCS to let you know, you have to stay here until the Gallipoli-China's ambassador for New Delfos be appointed, you will fly him back. Understood?"
Pilot B: "Yes sir, understood."
Pilot A: "I guess we aint going home so soon..."
NDAF Staff: "Sir! The cargo is ready for transport, we gonna ask the airport authorities to get us a vehicle."
Yuri: "Good work, get that vehicle asap, i hope the welcome party comes soon."

few minutes later the NDAF staff arrives with a van and loads the wooden boxes in the vehicle.
NDAF Staff: "We'r ready to go, sir! Where to?"
Yuri: "We have to wait for a transport for me, you will follow the transport with the van. Hide those guns in the back, you wont gonna need it so soon, and we dont want to show any kind of bad intentions ever, understood?"
NDAF Staff: "Understood sir."
Yuri: "Get the van at the airport's front then."

Ambassador Yuri Papovish decides to go in the Airport lobby to see if there's anyone waiting there.

[Zimmerwald]

Joseph Matamoros had waited only twenty minutes in the drab waiting room for gate 3 when he noticed what could only be the Delfian (sic) diplomat emerge from the jetway.

He moved towards him, extending his hand.  "Pleased to meet you, I'm Joseph," he said.

OOC: sorry I didn't write more.

[Delfos]

Ambassador Yuri Papovish: "Hey, you'r welcome. So, Joseph, are you the one to take me to any office to discuss the communication tech deliver? I'v got NDAF boys in a van ready to follow us with the packages."

OOC: np, i need to deliver the VCSs and VCCSs to anyone capable of distributing them to the government and discuss about the UASS
