Humanity's Future - the end?

[Mikoyan]

ERM+LTA:  Economic
Erinaum and Lestainia begin collaborating on a superhighway stretching from the Yellow Sea to the Iberian Peninsula.

Hi we're in this too just to let Lestainia know.

As the moon rises over a OCS training base in an Orinian part of Africa, 20 or so men rise from hiding spots on sand dunes. The Entrance of the base comes under fire from multiple rocket propelled grenades and pops of 7.62x39 cartridges sound in the distance, the rifles aimed at OCS trainees.

Men drop to the ground as they are shot, and the gate is damaged severely by the several PG-7 warheads.  Almost immediately afterward, a simultaneous klaxon is heard throughout the area.  Spotlights on watchtowers swivel around to point bright beams of light at the several muzzle flashes from the hill.  Marksmen return fire on the soldiers, while an LAV positions itself at the smoldering ruins of the gate, the automatic grenade launcher opening fire on the dune for suppressive effect.

Blimps fly over the OCS training base recording the whole damn thing.
Blimp Captain John B Day gets on the bullhorn...

"The Republic of Belsina is asked to call off this attack. You have five minutes to cease fire."

[Mikoyan]

Men on the dunes drop quickly at the hands of OCS tactic. "pada unazad, to je beskoristan!" is heard yelled from some men. They quickly pick up whatever that can from their fallen comrades and flee into the vast desert. Shots are fired at the blimp.

Nice metagame mang.
Patrols are sent out to investigate the unknown assailants origin, while a VTOL gunship takes off to possibly track them down.  Wounded are collected and sent to the medical bay, while the dead are collected and sent to the morgue.  Patrols are now more regular in the area.  Meanwhile, mercenaries look up at the blimp and laugh at it.

mercenaries look up at the blimp and laugh at it.

I warning bomb is dropped next to the training center before the patrol blimp leaves

"Yeah, laugh, we'll just keep this package Mr. Gordon sent to you."

You're done kid.

Due to what would appear to be terrorism in Cred-X's space, Zenith reinforces the boarder between Cred-X and Zenith so there is no possibility of accidentally entering Zenith territory. The Zenith government will not engage in internal affairs of other countries.

Actually, it's Cred-X flying unauthorized in Orion airspace and dropping bombs.

Where is Orion located on the map, or are you talking about the yellow area (not Afkoshila)
Zenith starts researching stronger tanks and airplanes.

[SWAT One]

Mr. Dern requests a progress report from HTAU on the gravity field generator.

HTAU has completed the prototype, and large amount of testing with the new fuel type, called Gravitanium will be used.

Hi we're in this too just to let Lestainia know.

Yes, you're just building the side-roads in Belsnia and letting Erinaum use your roads to transport the materials.

Project: Silk Road II

  - The plans are released to all involved nations.  All members of the Silk Road II trade route plans are highly encouraged to begin building or modifying roads and highways that will connect to the Silk Road II.

  - Erinaum's portion of the trade route is at 63.84%.
  - Belsnia's portion of the trade route is at 11.31%.
  - Lestainia's portion is unknown.

ERM:  R&D

  - VAC-71a tested and proven successful.  The VAC-71a is now used in the ESAF.

Orion starts to develop an advanced rocket that can travel between Earth and Mars in one month (when their orbits and closest together).

This will be an ambitious work, and so will take seven years to complete. It is planned to finish by 2027.

[fawkes..]

and because you can totally fit a thruster on the back of a space suit

Obviously not a huge rocket thruster, lol.

Sorry, explain this part, i'm confused

Construction of new connectors to the highway from major Lestainian cities is underway.

Moon

Whilst Lestainian moon territory does not expand, several upgrades are underway to the facilities.

Other stuff

New, higher powered, nuclear missiles are being developed

The RLN destroyer 'Clarity' sinks due to a fire on board

There, I've highlighted all factors that indicate the current location.  Cred-X is currently in Orion airspace in warships dropping bombs on Orinian civilians.  As I recall, that's justification of war.  Not to mention, he was just shot at, and as we all know, there's a reason we no longer use blimps:



There's also a lot of metagame going on regarding who's doing what on the ground when realistically, it'd be hard to tell anything from such an altitude, not to mention in the night.  You wouldn't have been able to tell that those were Belsnian troops (they weren't, either) nor would you be able to tell that we were laughing at the blimps.
