News Broadcast: Symkarian Invasian.
"Reports are coming in from Symkaria that both major cities are under siege by what are unmistakeably Doombots and other Latverian military automata.

After decades of only occasionally mildly disturbed peace, Latveria has apparently finally invaded its southern neighbor. Victor Von Doom's motivation for this attack remains unknown; he has made no public statement."

	Andrew watches the news with a stoic expression. At least this one would be tough to blame on Genosha, on the surface. But this is still a destabilizing influence. Regretfully, he cancels his social plans, few as they were, and makes arrangements for a ride to the U.N. Things are going to get crazy for the next little bit here, he's sure of it.

	And Giovanna, of course, went with him. It'd make a wonderful negotiation talking point, wouldn't it? 'Credit us at least with not being Latveria.' (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Beatrice froze. She tried to reach the central HQ, but the best she could manage after quite some time was a message that she was not to try to report back for any reason. (Reply to this)

	To say that this was worrying was to put it mildly. Andrea made it a point to watch the news whenever possible, along with monitoring other broadcasts from across the country. She rose from the living room and sought out Kristoff. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Kristoff didn't have much time for the news. He had just gotten Miranda down for her nap. Cassandra, too, was sleeping. Then Andrea found him. "What is it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-10-01 02:05 am UTC (link)
	Andrea decided not to mince words. Directness was largely hot-wired into her personality template anyway. "Latveria has invaded Symkaria." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff stared at her for a moment. Then his eyes shut. "Devel, Master. Why?" He muttered between clenched teeth. "He has made any kind of point in public?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2010-10-01 02:11 am UTC (link)
	She shook her head. "There has been no public announcement. But Doombots and other military mechanoids have attacked Symkaria's two major cities." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you, Andrea. Please let me know if you hear any change." He just didn't understand why. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course, Kristoff," Andrea replied. "I can inform Vincent, if you would like. Or would you prefer to do so yourself?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can, thank you." He sets a hand on her shoulder for just a moment and takes a breath. "If this is not a temporary problem, it may need to end in...interference. Illegal or not," he admits to her in a tone that is desperately trying to quash pain and confusion with calm determination. And then he heads to find his brother. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent is in his work room, currently marking out a mixture of runes and algebraic formula around a tesla coil the size of a small child. He's still in the theoretical stages of his experiment, for the most part, but the first few energy trials have begun. A stack of books on vegan cuisine are a new addition on one of his work tables.

	"The standard disclaimer about not disturbing any lines of salt, but nothing more delicate applies. Come in." Vincent responds, capping off the dry erase marker he was using and standing up, floating over to a table where he grabbed a bottle of water. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The look on Kristoff's face as he comes in should be enough to tell him the news is more than the FF's run-of-the-mill emergencies. "Andrea has just informed me of a development in international news." A breath. "Latveria has apparently invaded Symkaria." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent doesn't spit-take, but he does pale slightly, and the swallow he takes is a hard one. "...casualties?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I do not know. Doombots can actually secure an area fairly efficiently with little harm done, depending on the nature of the counteroffensive against them, but I do not know. At any rate, this does not appear to be a minor border misunderstanding or a Skrull feint. They are in the two major cities."

Kristoff's still in shock. "It makes no sense. There's no reason to...and he even likes the woman."

	Vincent holds back a comment about his father not being able to truly 'like' anyone, as opposed to respecting. It's anything but the time. "Has Symkaria requested aid?" Surt take it... the new armor wasn't field-tested yet, but if a significant enough force of Doombots were deployed, he couldn't afford to go in half-cocked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	discardedheir 2010-10-01 03:03 am UTC (link)
	"Not that anyone has heard at present." He pauses, and he's very, very serious. "There are many things we must consider doing if this escalates, not all of them legal." Kristoff, being Kristoff, doesn't say something like that lightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-10-01 03:07 am UTC (link)
	A dozen or so scenarios that would require varying levels of involvement cascade before Vincent's eyes, and multiply even as he speaks. "Such as?" His fists have tightened without him realizing it, and his teeth graze his lower lip. Better to let Kristoff clarify, before his imagination gives him worse prospects.

Kristoff doesn't think it's very complicated. "Unless this is quickly resolved in a just manner, whether Symkaria asks for, refrains, or in fact spurns aid, we may end up intervening."

A long pause. "Your Father's algorithms for maintaining the security system codes in Doomstadt are complex, and he has never spoken them aloud or written them down. But he has also had no reason to change a good system."

	Vincent's lips purse, and he speaks. It is much like a child speaking to a parent. "If you ask me to... I'll go there." He takes a breath, steeling himself. "There's no-one else who can do so freely." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent leans into that touch, running a hand down his face. "Is there anything we need do immediately?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent runs a hand through his hair. "I have... preparations to make, then." He says quietly. He swallows hard again, and hugs his brother. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Nicolai was swearing loudly in Symkarian. He couldn’t understand why Doom would be doing this, his mother even called him a friend. What he wanted to do right now was go back home and help lead the counter offensive.

He had been half way through getting himself ready to go from New York to Symkaria when he had received a message from his mother tell him not to come back home. Not understand why in his right mind he should do that he called her and had gotten the brief reasoning that he should not for the good of Symkaria.

If it had just been his mother tell him not to come home he would have gone anyways but for the good of his country he would not disobey no matter how much he did not like it. If anyone needed him he would be off in the firing range blowing off steam.

	Eventually, Beatrice will also be there. She doesn't say anything at first, because what can they say? What can they do? But she's there when he wants to say something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nicolai does not say anything for a while his face a lot more serious than it normally was. “This makes no sense what so ever,” He says when he finally speaks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Beatrice nods solemnly. "It doesn't." If Nicolai hasn't figured it out, she's not going to unless someone gets her within 100 meters of Doom. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, /this/ would make life interesting for awhile. He been through Lateveria and Symkaria before, but Julian was always certain they were non-hostiles, politically. And now Doom had decided that expansion was the word of the day. He keeps an eye on the news to see how best to capitalize on this development. (Reply to this)

	nextgen_parent 2010-10-01 11:26 am UTC (link)
	Nick of course was on top of the situation and had been since the first Doombot landed in Symkaria. He had his agents in the surrounding countries on high alert and waiting to move at a moment's notice. All agents in Europe were put on alert. They had to be ready to move if needed. (Reply to this)
