The Confederation

[WngMasterD]

Im gonna put stuff for the Confederation of South Sea islands here.





The past month has been a productive one for the confederation.

Military: All, non patrolling vessals, are in port. Two ship groups are out of nation, however. The CSSISG Washington is presently in the Dominion of Austraillia, and the CSSISG Tompson is in the Protecerate Kingdom of Hawaii. Lifeboat vessels are currently on normal status. All land (Army and Marine) units remain still at high alert, and reserves are on standby.

Civil: After the confrence at Palikir, the COnfederations leaders have decided to infom the public of the relocation. The pubic has taken the news better than expected. However; the forign nationals are currently in a frenzy attempting to return to their respective homes.
Right now, there are restictions for non-military personel. Most people have not seemed to notice. The civilians are restricet to their islands, or vessals. All civil craft (sea and air) are in an 'as is' status.

Government: The Confederation of South Sea Islands has established contact with three countries, and establised relations with two; the Dominion of Australlia, and the Kingdom of Hawaii. We have sent convoys to discuss relations, which have mostly come to a close. They deleberations have been very posotive.

Economic: Economic leaders are rejoycing over recent economic decsions. We have, hopefully, made relationships that allow trade with the previously mentioned nations.

Outlook: Right now, we are attempting to make new friends in this time of chaos. We are hopefully going to lift the restirctions with in the comming month.

Fleet Enginner Sarah Cyn stood infornt of the bridge window. She was fairly happy, she had just recived a promotion to Fleet Enginner, and she just recived a new duty assignment: Commanding officer of a Airship Squadron
He'll never be abe to catch up to me now she thought. When they were in the Army Cadets, her and her little brother, Noah, had this bet going. The deal was that Sarah would always out-rank Noah. (Actually he bet if he didnt out rank her in a year, she would play a game of little leuge baseball in her tutu, but he exteneded the time as he wasnt to eger to be seen in pink), there isnt a chance ill let him get my baseball cards
The LBS Palikir was a large rescue airship, designed for long-range S&R missions. She looked over the sea. She had just recently heard about the relocation. She thought it was pretty cool, but others seemed pretty worried. She could understand, family away on vacations, never to be seen again. What scared her was what if what ever brought them here, came back to take them, and there was no way to tell if she woul be lucky engough to be on land. Fortunantly enough, most of her job was paperwork, so she'd only get to go out maybe once a week on a mission. That aspect dissapointed her, but maybe in six months she could work her war into a job as a Cutter CO.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Captain Junior Rank Noah Cyn held on to the bulkhead of his ship, as it's VTOL scout plane took off. He had just finished his trip to Honolulu, which was good, too many memories there. The plane, a Snipe, was being sent ahead to patrol the waters for the Firebolt, and the Tompson. She was a good and fast plane.
He hade his way to the bridge, where one of his Petty officers came up to him
"Captian, You have 2 messages, from a Fleet Enginner Cyn, and Fleet COmmand." The Petty Office handed it to him.
"Crap!" he yelled as he read the note "Shes calling the bet over, now i have to command for a week in a wedding dress. (Censor) it!"
He reviewed the orders from fleet command. Once back in it's port, the Firebolt was restriced to patrol duty, helping enforce Marital law. He hated patrol duty, he wanted to be at sea, feeling the spray of the sea souurround him, there was something more excitng about the sea, then makings sure a few drunken sailors dont leave their home port. Darn this relocation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flight Officer Bradley lay on his bunk, trying to forget the motion of the waves. Unlike the rest of his family, he was a landlubber. He was a member of the squadron that was being sent to New Ireland, an island by Papua. The Confederation descovered that, after the relocation, the island chain was uninhabited. They were senting companys to the islands of New Ireland and New Brittan, although he wasnt quite sure as to what they were going to do. Probably make a dirt-winch airstrip for now. He overheard some officers talking about how some other nation, the State of Pacifica, had claimed the area, so they had to gain permision to use the island. This made no sence to him, but he wasnt there to argue. All of his buddys were on the top deck, playing basket ball, and enjoying the cool breze, he wuld join them, except for his fear of the sea. Another wave made his stumach churn. He haded the ocean.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grand Admiral Cyn sat in his office. He missed the days when he was on the ocean, or atleast at a desk where he could see it. Now days he commanded up too 95,000 sailors, airmen, soldiers, amrines and civilians form his tiney desk, sailing of the blue carbit of this 10th story office. His window overlooked down town Palikir, which streched as far as the eye could see. Now he was drafing documents that needed to be drafted, telling the Governor that, no we have not been attacked, and if we are, we can defend ourselves. He had recived word through his Admirals that there was civil unrest in areas, because of the relocation. Most of these came from forigners stranded on our soil. He recomended sending them back to teir home coutries, and also maybe colonizing, or making, an island for them. However, as of now, they were being a thorn in his rump.

Mr. Governor, I suggest that in the following Islands and Districts...... we impose full marital law until the forigners can be delt with.

[WngMasterD]

The Confederation of South Sea islands is Happy to announce that it has entered into negoitations with the Empire of Japan. The treaty was ratified, entiteling our Merchants to use their ports. We hope that this will start a budding relationship inbetween our lands.

We have also aquired, through a treaty with the DOminion of Australlia, the Manus, or Admiralty, Islands off the coast of Papua New Guinea. They will be administered by the Commisions of Defence and comerce. We look forward to establishing a settelment there, and we have redirected our fleet to there, and not New Ireland. Governor Rys has requested that Colonel Wari, CA, be appointed Administrator of the Manuse Defence Territory

Fleet Enginner Sarah Cyn sat inside her cool tin-can like office abord the LBSAS Cook, flag air-ship for the detachment of Lifeboat serie airships that were on-loan to the New Hebrides Military. The office was actuall a storage closet that was claered out just for her. The Master of the Cook was soo nice. At night, the closet doubelled as quarters for her. She opended up her blank white book and started writng.

I dont like it up here, Im an enginner, a sea engineer, not one who likes flying 3000 feet abouve the clouds. Fleet command sent me a message ordering us to the New Hebrides. I sent a message asking what the heck the New Hebrides were, and found out it was the nation formerly known to me as the Fhilipene Alliance. I gave the orders, and we were of the ground in an hour.

Right now we're four hours out of port, and crusing steady towards the New Hebrides. According to ou information, the Cook was to be put under a Fleet Admiral Takeshi, to do recon work, but I think that'll change.

I love my crew here though. It was funny, earileier i went to the cabin, and my youngest Crewman, just arrived two nights ago, asked me about the New Hebrides, but he could'nt figure out what to call me. Fleet Engineer is a mouthfull, so i told him to call me Ma'am, or Commander. I guess it works. IT isnt all that funny when you think about it, but it was at the time, a bit of a stress reliver

Flight Officer Cyn's Office
Manus Island HQ

Bradley Cyn looked out the window of his prefab office. It looked upon a semi-paved Airstrip. It had always amased him at how fast the Confederation could construst and colonize an Island. to colonize this one took a little over one month. It already had a fully functioning refuling port, and a few little shops. The civillian population here was small, only a bout 25, in contrast to the 200 military personel. According to the 'official' time table, in about two months the Manus Islands would be turned ovet to the Merchant Navy Administartaion. They would take care of it untill enough civillians came to run the island on its own. Then it could opt for either Independance, incorperation into the confederation, or becoming a protectorate. Unitll then, Brad was stuck as the Commanding Officer of the Skyforce detachment, or untill the Colonel cam back, the Acting CO of the Manus Island

"Sir! Sir!" An Airman yeled as he ran into the office. "Theres been an accident!"
"What is it Airman?" Asked Cyn as he jumped to his feet
"Someone shot down the airplane!"
"Take me there!"

The Flight Officer Ran out side where a hump of burning derbis scattered the runway.

"What happend here Sargeant?" he asked one of those inspecting the scene.
"Sir, some bullets came out of that direction, they struck the aircraft, and it went down. Looks like they came from the port."

Upon hearing this, he ran back into his office and got on the phone."
"Port Security!" He yelled into the phone
"Port Security, Captain..." Cyn cut him off.
"Captain, this is FLight Officer Cyn, dont let anyone out of that port untill I get there, confine all crews to their ships, thats an oreder" He hung up, knowing that he just pissed off a Captian.

"Sargeant, go tell Colonel Wari!"
"I cant sir, that was the COlonels plane. His XO was in it too."
Cyn stood there dumbfounded.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: The Office of Military Direcotrates,
I regret to inform you that Colonel Wari, and Lt. Colonel Ret have been killed in an act of terror. Their plane was shot down on final approch. We are currently in search of those responsable. We have halted all merchant traffic. All security has been incresed. We request intructions.

Acting-Commanding Officer, Manus Island

[WngMasterD]

Frustration was in the air. Flight Officer Cyn had been left with two choices, two orders, since the Manuiti had firebombed the church, and blew up a bridge. First choice was to be diplomatic about it. That had failed, and he had a feeling that if he tried again, it would fail again. The second choice was that of action. He really didn’t like that choice, it meant his men may die, and the men of the Confederations allies may die as well. Yet he had a duty to the residents of Manus Island to remove the threat. In his hands he held the orders to remove the 'Most Holy Nation of Manus' from power. It was straight from the top, a declaration of war.
"Corporal!" He yelled to his clerk, "Muster the troops!"

Before him stood the officers of ready men and women, ready to kill on his command.
"We have an enemy, one who has attacked us. Tonight we will strike back. Here are the rules of engagement: you will not fire until fired upon. Avoid killing any Manuiti. All those bearing arms will be charged with treason and aiding an enemy of the Confederation. We will have the Navy patrolling off the coast making sure that no ships escape. You are to shoot any fleeing vehicle. This includes any aircraft as well." The Flight Officer watched as a General went on explaining who would be patrolling what, and giving logistics of the mission. Cyn finished the speech.
"The enemy has a standing militia of approximately 2,500 men to 3,000, numerous boats and aircraft. Good Luck and God be with ye. Dismissed" Cyn though carefully as the troops filed out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2000 hrs
The Shrine of Al-Manu
The Most Holy Nation of Manus

The knocks at the door startled Nabv, sitting at his desk, praying.
"Come in." He replied, "Flight Officer, it is so good to see you. Has the Confederation caved and come to tell me that Manus is mine now?"
"I'm afraid not Nabv. Stop this nonsense. We both know it will never work. Disband your militia, and your fake nation, get on with life.
"I will do no such thing. Al-Manu has given us this most perfect gift; we will not turn it down. Why don’t you and your petty nation leave here? It has no value to you. Establish a base somewhere else. I bet the Aussies would give another island to you. Just leave, you do not want anymore blood on your hands."
"Blood on my hands! You are the one that has committed the atrocities through out the past few weeks; you’re the one that has caused many meaningless deaths. The blood is on your hands, not mine. One day, The Almighty will hold you accountable for what you have done. Besides, what if we don’t leave?"
"We will do what we have been doing, we might even use force to take out your settlements, one, by one, by one. Remember my promise, 'Remove yourselves, or will surely do it for you'?"
"That’s enough!" Cyn reached for his walkie-talkie, "Commence operation Purge!" Nabv eyed him suspiciously.
"You're bluffing, the Confederation would never pull weapons on its citizens. Enough pranks, and give me my island."
"Oh no my friend. This is no bluff. You are right; the Confederation would never harm any of its citizens, but you must remember, you lost your citizenship with you 'Holy Nation of Manus' crap. And this isn’t the Confederation this is my island. Right now, I have over 2500 troops seeping into your territory, taking it foot, by foot, by foot." Just then the rattle of a rifle broke through the night, the echo was dominated by a short, loud scream of pain. Nabvs eye widened. "You could have removed yourselves, now we will do it for you"
"You basted!" Nabv reached for the phone, but jerked it way when a bullet whizzed past the phone. He got up and moved to the doorway. Cyn blocked it.
"You are going no where, except for that chair. You will sit from that chair, and look out your window, watching your nation shrink before your eyes." A siren went off, awaking the Manuiti militia, alerting them that they were under attack. A shower of rounds being loaded, guns being cocked, and troops organizing creped through the night. "You can say you will remove yourselves, and I will call off the attack. It's that simple."
"I will do nothing of the sort! My men will fight to the death to defend their homes and Al-Manu." Nabv stood up and approached Cyn, "Let me tell you something, one day, when Al-Manu judges…"
"Let me tell you something! You have chosen your path. You will be sent back to Palikir, and be sentenced to death by firing squad. You have committed treason. It's too late now. Face the window, and watch your fate be sealed. Face it!" Nabv did as he was told; the pistol in Cyns hand was a big aid in that decision
"Mr. Cyn, I hope that you know what your doing. My men will not stand down."
Cyn chose not to respond, he let the gun fire that was getting ever closer speak for him.

(0600 following day)

The past ten hours had been rough on Cyn. Most of it had been quite. Nabv entered a state of deep prayer and mediation several hours ago behind his desk. There were ten Manuiti settlements on the island, which was an average of, at most, 300 Manuiti militiamen in each village. He had, at least, 300 men invading each village. It should not have taken this long. The thought that maybe the Manuiti were stronger than anticipated scared him. The sounds of the guns and mortars in the night relived him, in a strange way.

"Cyn, the island is secure. All Manuiti forces have been defeated. Survivors have been taken captivate." A voice over the radio crackled.
"How many casualties?" Cyn asked
"Sir, ten Confederation dead, fifty wounded. Five hundred Manuiti dead, another Five hundred injured."
" Five hundred dead?"
"Yes sir, most of them came after their barracks collapsed with them inside."
"Very well. Escort the prisoners to the landing craft. I have Nabv, I will escort him back to HQ." Cyn radioed out. "Nabv! Up, you're coming with me. We are heading back to HQ." Nabv did not respond. Cyn checked him, and found Nabv sitting in a pool of fresh blood.

(Epilogue)

To: the Nations of Oceania

The Confederation thanks you deeply for your aid in the defeat of the Manuiti. If there is anyway we may repay you, let us. You all have been invited to our shuttle launch coming up.
As to the condition of the Manus Island, all Manuiti who were in the militia (3000) will be tried by group trial. In the Confederation, all forms of treason are highly frowned upon, and most carry the death penalty. If found guilty of treason, aiding an enemy, and conspiracy to kill Confederation citizens, the Manuiti troops will either receive the death penalty by firing squad, or life in prison. All Manuiti (2000) who did not participate in these acts will be allowed to erect shrines and worship; however, the Manuiti faith will not be entitled an area for their sole use. From what I understand, the Manuiti faith is quickly shrinking, the faithful have become disillusioned by this whole fiasco.
The Confederation citizens inhabiting Manus will go to the polls in three months to vote for the islands status. They have the choices of independence, inclusion into the Confederation, territory status, or the current arrangement (administration under the Commissions of Defense and Commerce).
Thank you again for all of your help.
God Bless


Governor General Nathaniel Ryes, (MHGEN, CMC)
Governor General of the Confederation of South Sea Islands

Grand Admiral Alezandr Cyn, Confederation Navy
Commander-in-Chief of the Confederation of South Sea Islands

Senyavin Space port at the Palikir International Airport
Palikir Island, Senyavin District, Pohnpei Region, CSSI

The spectaors area was jammed with people. Normally a shuttle launch was a rutine thing, three or four a week. But this one was the first one after the Relocation.

Captain (JR) Noah Cyn made his way throu the crowd, attemping to get to the military personel veiwing area. He stopped at a hot dog vendor. He tossed two rectangluar Confederation Dollar coins on the counter, and grabbed a hot dog.

He managed to grab his seat on the bleachers. Next to him sat his father, Grand Admiral Alezandr Cyn, the Commander-in-chief of the CSSI.

"Im glad you were able to recive leave and come here today Noah." His dad looked at him and said.

"As am I Dad. Im kinda glad. The Fleet Admiral of the Periphery is having me transferred to the Palau fleet. Ill be commanding one of the new patrol submarines. I leave next week for Kiribati, thats were she is right now." Noah always thought it was amusing how the people referd to parts of the confederation like other nations.

"Thats terrific son. Soon your make it to senior rank." The two sat in scilence for a few minutes.

"Ladies and Gentelmen, please stand for the playing of the National Anthem." The announcer said over the loud speackers. The crowd rose on the command. (NOTE: for effect go HERE (http://experts.tzo.com/midimiestr/rush/midis/0401.mid)) With the first note of 'the 2112 Overture' all the military personel snapped to attention. With the rasing of the flags, the Military rendered a salute.

Midway through the Anthem, a lound rumble began. Grand Admiral Cyn hoped that there would be no sabotage. The Space-plane a thundered bye the spectators, and rocketed of a ramp, near-vertically into the air, and went out of sight. With the Anthem nearly over, the crowed turned to the jumbo-trons, that had an image of the cockpit of the craft.

The bomb bays of the delevery vehicle opened, and acutall space plane emerged, and unfolded its wings. The Space plane rocketed to mock 5 and into space. The delivery vehicle leveld out, and started heading back to the spaceport

"Ladies and gentelmen, the first launch scince the Confederation was relocated is a succes. Long may She stand!" With this the crowd gave a loud cheer. No sabotage, this made Grand Admiral Cyn glad.

"Noah, how about we go get some lunch, and talk about this new command of yours. Im sure your mother would be glad to see you."

"SOunds fine sir, i mean dad. How about the 'Meerchants express' down at the seaport?"

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

To the nation of Persa, and the nations of the world:

Your satalite has been launched succecfully. We thank those who have assisted us in this grat acheivment.

[WngMasterD]

The night in Koror was cool and crisp. Captain (Junior Rank) Cyn Sat at a table with Lieutenent Govrernor Lar'i, the Governor of the Republic of Palau, one of the Consitiuant nations of the Confederation. The two had grown up together, gone to school together, and served together. But now Lar'i had ventuered into politics.

"Noah, its been wonderfull talking to you, but, im afraid, we must move on to bussness." Lar'i said cassually after a long, akward silence.

"Thats understandable. I understand that you requested me to be transferred to the Palauen fleet. May I ask why?"

"Noah, Ive served with you, when we were both lowly 2nd Lieutenents, however you showed great leadership and decision making. That trend continued. I wanted that at my disposal."

"Governor, Im flatterd but why me. Ive served under this Fleets Admirals, and they are all top notch. Fleet Admiral Brown, Vice Admiral San, Rear Admiral tad, their the Confederations best. Why me?"

"Captain, you are one of the Confederations best, just like the true Palauan you are", Palau had a reputaion of churning out the best Sailors in the Confederation, and Noah was the first Palauan Cyn," Its your destiany. Right now the Nation of the New Hebrides is in a state of chaos. We fear that the enemy might try to use Palau as a refuge, or worse. I want you to command a flotilla of patrol craft to guard our waters. You will have fifteen ships at your command, but not in all in one spot of course. Three Aircraft carrying patrols, five submarine patrols, and seven surface patrol craft."

"Thank you very much Governor. I look forward to it sir."

"Your welcome, Commodore." With this Noahs eyes opend wide.

"Com...Comm..COmmodore?"

"Off COurse, we would not let a Captain Junior Rank command a flotilla. Your hoold the rank of Captain Senior rank Serving as COmmodore. I must be going Commodore. Good luck and God bless."

"And may he be with you Governor."

The two parted company, Commodore Cyn went to the harbor, and sat on his Yacht, his home. He though about his family, and his carrer. This was his first Flag assignment, the start of an important part of his life. His Brother was hundreds of miles away in a war towrn land, and his siter was aiding in the New Hebrrides. Hois dad was sailing the paper seas. And here he was, on a dock in the bay, wasting time. He thought about Katie, hoping that she was somewhere. He feel assleep

[WngMasterD]

Flight Officer Brad Cyn sat quietly in his office. For once sice the removal of the Manuiti, he had nothing to do. He was still the Military Administrator of the island, how ever a Member from the Commision of Commerce was also there to assits with the civillian Population. The troops were faily contennt, most of their consturction duty was done. Normally, the military would be gone by now, and the COmmerce Commision would be in charge, but the Manuiti caused there to be extra percautions. Half of his troops had left, leaving only 150 men ashore. It was ironic that he still had control of the Islands even though the civilian popualtion was 20 times bigger. The civillians were mostly stranded tourists, merchants, and what not.

He still had to make arrangements for the up comming vote. COnfederation Policy was that a new island may vote for its dependeny and what ever. He would still be here though. The Cofederation would have a base here for a long time. He still had one thing to do, write the dreaded letters to the moms of the men he had lost. It was something he didnt want to do. He looked out his window, his men were training the local Millitia. So far he had 500 volunteers in the regiment, which was good. The Clock finally rank its bell, telling him he could leave.

He left

[WngMasterD]

Commorore (Prov.) Cyn sat down inside the CSSIV Kiribati, and picked up one of the freshhly printed newpsper highlights. This ones was from the 'Paliki Today'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Relations have been reached with the Incan Empire of South America. The Confederation sent a covoy to meet with the Dominion of Argentina Chile, and became involved in relations with the empire as well. The nations have reached an 'open port' poicy, however, the Commiosion of Forign Affairs will not agree on any other deals untill the confict between the Confederation, and the Dominion has ceased, or untill the Confederation choses an ally. The same 'open port' policy was reashed four dyas ago with the DOminion of Chile Argentina....

The Island Of Manus is holding elections to decide wether to become a nation or not, currents stadings are in favor of becomeing a Confederation constituant....

The Space plane launched a week ago has returned to Mosaic earth, as some are calling it, saftley....
------------------------------------------------------------------

Commodore Noah Cyn put down the paper and continued with his breakfest

[WngMasterD]

Provisional Commodore Noah Cyn pushed the periscope of the CSSIV Kiribati up into is stowed postion. 'Coontiue on couse' he yelled, there was a feirce storm above. This was his first week on the job as the patrol force Commodore. It wasnt soo bad. He didnt like the paperwork involved though. He had 15 ships at his command right now, and most of them had nothing to do. The Republic of Palau had requested larger patrols of the island. The nearby republic of the New Hebrides was in a state of civil war, and Palau wished none of the insurgants on their shore. As soon as the war was done, Noah lost his command.

"Sir, all ships report secre" A junior petty officer informed Cyn. This ment that the rest of his group were not encountering troubles.
"Thank you."
"Theres a message in for you sir." Noah looked at one of the screens.

FWD: Confederation Lifeboat Service HQ

CLBS- Koror Fleet HQ

"Helm change couse too ..... Petty Officer, redy resue equpment. On the Double." Noah ponderd why the Lifeboat service was sending a sub, probably safer.

After about 15 long minutes, the Kiribati surfaced. Cyn and his first officer, 1LT Wan managed to get to the bridge outside the vessal. He saw Flaming derbis about 50 yards away.

"Wan, get the rescue crew." Cyn yelled over the roring waves.
"Aye Sir." The Lieutenent disapered into the hull. seconds later, four daring souls appered with an inflatable boat. Cyn and the four managed to get aboard the boat, and headed towards the flaming derbis. A wave crashed over them. As they got closer, they saw an orange life raft.
"OVER HERE!" one of the Kiribati's crewmen shouted. No response. They managed to paddel to the raft. It was carrying four people, a woman, a man, and two girls. The man seemed to be uttering things, but no one could hear it. He handed the girls to Cyn, who put them in the boat. He helped his wife into it, and finally him.

After more paddeling, the family was safe inside. The dauters were scared, but the mother had two broken legs. The Surgeon had her splinted though. The father, Master of the Yacht said that his craft had an explosive charge hit it during the storm, but he didnt know where it came from. Cyn sat down in his office and wrote the Lifeboat Fleet HQ

The Final Confederation Plane took off from Manus' primary airport. On board was Flight Officer Brad Cyn, the former military administaror of the island. He was glad to get off of it. A week or so ago the island declared independence. Now the Confederation was moving all of its assets out, and allowing the Millita to defend the island.

Now, the Confed was relocating him to the island of New Ireland. He had been put in charge of an Air-Guard air strip along the south side. He was extremly excited about leaving Manus. He hated it there. He hated desks. Where he was going he would be flying observation planes to patrol the coasts, AND get his own command. Less desk time he thought.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Airship docked in its Nauru District dock. the LSGS Palikir was based in the Capitol city in the Periphery nation.
Fleet Enginner Sarah Cyn stepped of the airship, kissing the ground. She had just gotten of Patrol in the New Hebrides, nothing really outstanding happend, and she was sick of the Airship. She enjoyed being in command of a squadron, but the environment was sooo forign to her. She wondered what the Lifeboat service was thinking when they assigned her there. Good news, she was being transferred to the Nauru National Guard. She was going to assist the newly-formed lading craft group operate, training the engineers. This was a dream come true. She was originally going to join 'The Army', but the Palau National Guard wasnt taking landing craft engineers at the time, so she had to settle for the Lifeboat service.

[WngMasterD]

Just as Fleet Engineer Cyn left the Officers Club, she was distracted by television accounts...

Nauru and Periphery Headline News...

....Nations ARE confiming another set of relocations, two nations, one in africa (Mozanbiqe), and Europe (Crimea). Confederation Officials have not commentedon if the Confederation Officials have not commented on wether they will contact these new nations...

The Confederation Council has voted to affirm the Treaty, but it is not sure how the the Periphery will be representned...

Sarah Mused over the headlines momentarilr. SHe sraitened her Combat Black uniform, and went on her way.

Marine Captain Lina sat in her bunk, wishing time would go by faster, her co-astronautgt, 1st Lieutenent Jessica Fto was busy in the adjasent module, playing with whatever helped run the station. Lina felt in the way, so she decided to go to bed, unfortunantly she could not sleep. She Reached over and grabbed a PADP (Personal Accses Display Panel) and kekyed up recent news

The boat rocked in the waves. Around this one spot stood the sons and dauter of the departed. Nathan Ryes gave the eulagy, but none of the children seemed to be lisenting. They were either looking at him, or over the water. Alezandr Cyn had died on the Palikir peir two weeks before, after a little girl fell 25 feet into the water. He dived in and managed to help her back to the surface, unfortunantly he did not. Nathan pinned the Confederation cross of Valour on Alez's coffin.
The Chaplain of the Navy walked over to the coffin and gave the final pryaer.

UNTO Almighty God we commend the soul of our brother departed

Noah remembered the first time his dad had played foot ball with him, the first pitch, the first hit.

and we commit his body to the deep; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection unto eternal life,

Brad thought of the first time His dad took him in a plane

through our Lord Jesus Christ; at whose coming in glorious majesty to judge the world,

Sarah could have swore she was in the chapel for her baptism, where her mom and dad helped dip her into the pool

the sea shall give up her dead; and the corruptible bodies of those who sleep in him shall be changed, and made like unto his glorious body; according to the mighty working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

The Chaplain finished, and walked over and blessed the coffin "Grand Admiral, may the Lord Grant you fair winds and Following seas"

with that the coffin was dropped into the depths below
