Northern Wind, a P&S spinoff

Chapter IX, Turnaround

Back in black
I hit the sack
I've been too long I'm glad to be back
Yes I'm, let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I keep looking at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the herse 'cause I'll never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Usin' every one of them and running wild

Following extraxts are from the book “Royal Norwegian Navy in a new world”.

.......After the dust had settled and the snow covered most of the ruins. The agreement among the authorities was to move from Bergen. We needed a safe place. Nobody knew what had happend to the government in the Sentralanlegget but we had to take action. The «Nordkapp» was sent on an scouting mission to look for and make contact with remaning naval assets along the coast. We had the ABC capabillity so we could come close to some of the radiation hot spots. Telephone lines was working partially and somethinge had happend to the atmosphere so radio comunications was at best poor. We sailed south from Bergen to look for life in the deep fjords. We were orderd to not bring any refuges back with us and to destroy any hostile wessels no mather what. We knew there could be soviet subs hiding in the fjords..........
.....The new government relocated to Florø and made contact with the surviving parts of Norway, Florø was choosen due to the proximity to the surviving oilfield instalations in the north-sea and the Mongstad refinery. It became clear that the situation in the parts of Norway that wasn’t hit directly from warheads or fallout were rather «normal», but for the trauma. Aalesund, Molde, Kristiansund and Kristiansand where untouched. But the southern town of Kristiansand had its toll of public unrest. The Electrical grid was functioning and the telephone lines were mostly ok in this rump Norwegian state. And that made a lot of difference in the coming months. The few refugees that came from the east could tell spinechilling histories about death, fire, black snow, bandits and the compleet meltdown of society. The eastern parts of Norway, Oslo to Trondheim seemed to be a compleet wasteland. Nobody came from the north. The Navy had to take a look.....

This will be the backdropp of ther rest of the story. Any comments?

Given some time they can restore central authority to the other parts of Norway, and secure control over the survivors in those areas. The Soviets will be gone as a threat, which leaves the major problems as reimposing order and rebuilt lost infrastrucutre. The capital will possibly be relocated to whatever most central and large location there is in Norway (you will know better than me the possible locations), or to some place with historical significance that brings a sense of stability to the Norwegian people.
