Delegate Cin'ciri Wren: Yaim Rusur

Wren read the note delivered by Garin and smiled. "Things must be about to get interesting" he thought to himself. Getting up he discretely followed Garin and Gunderson, nodding to an aide to continue sending him notes on the main room goings on

Delegate Garland Gunderson (North Gralend)

Garland turned to face Delegate Garin as he entered the conference room. "Ahh, Delegate Garin, glad you could make it." he dismissed the security guard. "What, are you afraid of me?" he laughed as he took a seat. "I was a businessman who owned a construction company before this and a Senator after that." he held his jacket open, indicating that he was unarmed, "No weapons here, I only want to talk." he buttoned his jacket up. "Why do you support the South? Why do you want to protect them? You dont even know them, I doubt you'd like them, so why do you want to help them?"

Speaker Edward McAllen

So LaPoc and Yaim Rusur approve of a resolution. So does Southern Gralend. North Gralend, obviously, opposes. Any one else?

Delegate Peter De Weiss (Southern Gralend)

<International support achieved. Reinforcements will be arriving soon. How are things on your end?> he sent the message to High Command.  It did not take long for the reply to come <Excellent. All in order. New instruction: Under no circumstances must Southern civilians be allowed to be evacuated by foreign troops. Ensure that. Authorization code: 129948.>

Peter smiled. That code was the code for the Archiron's office. All really was in order....

Delegate Fedya Garin (Lapoc)

Garin was not very pleased with the departure of the guard, but it was too late to call him now. "I am sorry if I appear to be wary. Considering we are on opposing sides and that this meeting is to be private, precautions are needed." Garin proceeded to sit down next to Gunderson, and swiveled to face him. "Granted, I do not agree with them politically or economically. However, war is not something to be taken lightly, and yet you claim to have declared war for revenge. I do not approve of that. The two Gralends must be unified peacefully, not with conquest." He shifted in his seat. "What do you hope to gain from this meeting? Unless you offer peace, there's not much I can do."

Delegate Garland Gunderson (North Gralend)

Garland looked into space for a second as he spoke. "Unification? What makes you think either side wants unification? After everything that's happened, everything we did to them and everything they did to us, the hundreds of years of history, do you really think we can unify?" Garland sighed. "We're the bad guys, aren't we? We're the villains of this story?"

Delegate Rolodir Grenvyev (USR)

"The Unified Soviet Republics are also in favour of a resolution to condemn the unjustified invasion of South Gralend.  Additionally, the Unified Soviet Republics would like to offer naval forces as observation and peacekeeping forces in the event that this body elects to intervene in the conflict that appears more and more to be a genocide, and would welcome the support of any other nation's troops in the peacekeeping effort."

Delegate Cin'ciri Wren: Yaim Rusur


The security guard walked past Wren and shrugged, and showed him where confrence room seven was. Then Wren walked into the conference room, noting the two gentlemen seated there.
"Su'cuy gar (Hello) my friends, you two seem to be having a heated debate, mind if I join?" Wren asked, and sat down.

Delegate Fedya Garin (Lapoc)

Garin sighed. "Neither side wants unification, I am painfully aware of that. My goal in this is to minimize bloodshed. At the moment, having two powers that despise each other is not turning out well. Each side is biased against the other due to very understandable historical reasons. But your governments are not trying to combat tensions. They are giving in to nationalist desires, which is not the way a peaceful world can operate. From what I can see, the WU is unanimously agreeing that you are the bad guys. But you didn't have to be! You could have combated the hatred, let the anger dissipate! Why!? Why do you bloody your hands when you could strive for a better tomorrow?"

Hearing the loud clanking of boots outside the door, Garin turned slightly as Wren walked in, seemingly unphased by Garin's outburst.

"Gunderson, do you mind? Wren might as well hear what you have to say as well."

Delegate Garland Gunderson (North Gralend)

"A better tomorrow..." he sighed a sigh of shame, fatigue and sadness. "You don't understand. The South did not just take our lives, our cities, our lands. They took our soul. They took away everything we ever were and everything we ever could have been." Garland's eyes glazed over as he heard, for the umpteenth time in his head, the last transmission from Ravensbridge. The screams, the desperate cry's for help. Then silence. He snapped back to reality when Wren showed up. "It's no matter. Anyway, what would it take for you to back off?"

Delegate Cin'ciri Wren: Yaim Rusur

Wren leaned back, thinking of an answer. "Allow me to answer your question with another question, should you come out the victor of this war, what is it you intend to do? Annex the South? For the fact that you are currently the aggressor of this current war, not of any war past, and yet you claim not to want unification... which annexation would end in" Wren paused a second, frowning, " this only leads to the idea you wish simply to kill the people of the South, which is more akin to a genocide than a war. For Yaim Rusur, war is not a game, it is a business, and businesses have rules. Our rules are our military code of conduct, and in this code of conduct any military action resembling genocide is something to oppose. I understand the South once attacked the North in the past, but these are different times and they no longer have a stable army. Thus the past card no longer applies in terms of your military action I am afraid. Please correct me if I missed any details."

Delegate Fedya Garin (Lapoc)

Well that was awfully direct. Wren's thought stream isn't prety, but he's right. This could end with genocide- hell, it might be genocide even now.

"Wren phrased it well. As it stands, there is nothing justifying your assault, hence we will not 'back off'. If you want complete withdrawal of Lapoc forces and support, you will need to have ceased your attacks and pay reparations to the South. I doubt that you will go through with that. I do not plan to fight you, only to ease the suffering of those who need it. You are making it incredibly difficult to do so. Unless you intend to cease your attack, we will not stop. Tell me, what will it take you to back off?"

Delegate Garland Gunderson (North Gralend)

"I figured as much." Gunderson leaned back. "Do you want to stop the North? Really stop the North? Let me help you. You won't stop us by fighting us, you'll only give Patrick Dahl what he needs to authorise WMD usage. There's only one way you can really convince the North to stop." He swiveled to face them. "Do you want to hear it?"

Delegate Fedya Garin (Lapoc)

I'm being set up here. Either respond to the demands, or force my way through.

"If you have something in mind that satisfies my- rather, our needs, let's hear it."

He's pulled the WMD card, meaning he's either bluffing or desperate. Lapoc should be out of range for most missiles, but I fear for the USR... They are involved too deeply in this to go unnoticed by the Northern army. Millions could die...

Garin tensed up, waiting in fear.

Delegate Cin'ciri Wren: Yaim Rusur

Wrens eyes widened at the mention of WMDs, as Yaim Rusur has been trigger happy with them in the past, most notably in war and as any meteorite methods. His predecessor was thrown to the pits for using them, but that was unprovoked, and this might turn dark very quickly, with the vast nuclear arsenal at his disposal. However out of the blue mentioning them would indicate either an attempt at scaring us, or as desperation to avoid a much stronger ground force. "Either way, it does not scare me" thought Wren, all vehicles and most armors have NBC protection capabilities.
"I will here what you have to say, but just realize we have a contract and are bound to it until this war is declared over." He said to the Northern gentleman.



In the main conference hall a temporary sit-in (whilst Wren was absent) named Pre Khalborn revived a message from high command, and stood up to speak. "Delegate Grenvyev, Yaim Rusur would like to humbly offer our forces to aid the USR in peacekeeping and if necessary peacemaking. As we lack a strong naval presence but posses strong air and ground forces, while you are strong in all three areas, perhaps we may compliment each other in a military sense." 

Delegate Garland Gunderson (North Gralend)

He saw the look on their faces and put 2 and 2 together. "Oh no no no, don't get me wrong. I'm not threatening you. I want to avoid nuclear war as much as you do. Patrick Dahl on the other hand, does not. In all honesty.... he scares me. He has no qualms about using any means necessary to extract his revenge. Any means. Which is my point." He opened his jacket and pulled out his phone. "I never wanted the war. Many didn't. Do I hate the South? More than anything else." He clenched his fists. " But I don't want to kill them. They are not worth my time or my effort. And Patrick Dahl is willing to sell our country's soul down the river for revenge. I am not. And my party, the Confederate Party, is not." He leaned forward and looked into Garin's eyes. "Do you want to stop Dahl? Help us defeat him in the election. After that we will pull out of the South and end the war. But we need your help to stop him. Are you willing to help?

Delegate Rolodir Grenvyev (USR)

"The Unified Soviet Republics would be glad to complement our ground and naval forces with your air force and ground forces, and look forward to strategic coordination.  If you would like we could create a treaty to allow the sharing of the foreign and domestic military bases of both our states, we would be glad to immediately enter negotiations for such an agreement."  Grenvyev responded to the interim Yaim Rusur delegate, glad that some headway within this joke of international cooperation was being made.
