The following is an edited roleplaying log detailing the invasion of Syria on June 10, 2114.

<Capitalist> Samuel says, "Ensign Sam, I think we have a problem."
Sharper's Submarine <#473> departs to Ocean: 7 East 1 South <se>.
<Capitalist> Argh has connected.

Atlantis East Dock
        The dock is almost as busy as Captown. Blue clad dock workers rush to build, repair, and dock submarines. The piers here are exceptionally clean, and the submarines look comfortable in their berths. The walls here are blue.
        Volunteers from the Defense Council Marines patrol the docks wearing blue uniforms. As they carefully watch the docks, they stand out against the background because they are not in a hurry.
        The current market price for a submarine is: 100 Oxy. To purchase a submarine, use '+buy sub' without the single quotes. To purchase a more powerful submarine, use '+buy sub <number>'. The number can be from 5 to 10. The price is 1000 Oxy multiplied by the number chosen. You can sell submarines you own using '+sell sub <#number>'. When selling a submarine, you may not receive as much as you paid for it.

Captown
        Businesses to meet every customer demand line the moving walkways here. Many of the people here are in a hurry. Most of them are wearing blue, but a minority are dressed in white or green. The air is filled with laughter, arguing, bargaining, and the smell of a wide assortment of foods.
        Some of the businesses display flags from various pre-Atlantis countries like the United States, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Some others display banners with slogans like, "Vote for me! - Defense Council"

Samuel(#374POUenACF)
        Samuel's dark blue eyes match his long sleeve, buttoned shirt. A yellow belt secures his dark blue pants. His skin is fair and with faded freckles. His face and head are shaven. He stands 5' 10".

Argh arrives from Atlantis East Dock.

Argh
Argh is a crazy capitalist pirate with an attitude that you do not want to mess with. She has brown hair, brown eyes, and stands 6 feet tall.

<Capitalist> Sam says, "I'll be there as soon as I turn these packages in."
You say, "Argh. I'm going to promote you to Seaman."
<Capitalist> Sam says, "I notice a lot of guard droids in Syria."
<Capitalist> Samuel says, "Yes. This meeting directly relates to that."
<Capitalist> Lady_Fox says, "testing"

<Capitalist> Lady_Fox says, "on my way!"



<Capitalist> Sam says, "Where is this meeting?"

Sam arrives from Atlantis East Dock.

Sam rides a walkway in from the dock.
Samuel nods to Sam.
You say, "We're just waiting for Seaman Fox."

Sam nods, "Certainly, Commander."
Sam motions with his cane and then takes a seat on a handy bench.
<Capitalist> Lady_Fox says, "blasted! my subs gone."

<Capitalist> Samuel says, "Where are you?"

<Capitalist> Lady_Fox says, "I'm stuck on Dark Moon port"
Sam sighs and stands, "I'll go pick her up. I have a delivery anyway."
You say, "Thank you for coming. We're going to have a change of venue. Ensign Sam, may we use your submarine?"
Sam nods, "That will work as well."
Sam says, "Just one moment."
Sam departs to Liberty Shipping <2>.
You say, "Good. Seaman Argh, please follow me."

Sam arrives from Liberty Shipping.
Samuel turns and walks toward the dock.

You say, "Good everyone is here."
Lady_Fox steps back.
Sam locks the sub and sits down near the navigation console, "So what's this all about?"
You say, "I have a strong rumor that Syria is going to be invaded this morning."
Sam frowns.
Lady_Fox listens closely
You say, "I've used Defense Council funds to establish a small force there."

You say, "Ensign Sam saw them earlier."
You say, "I do not know the strength of the invading force."
Sam says, "Hmmm..... I had a passenger earlier that wanted to be dropped off there, as well. A coincidence?"

<Radio> "The Atlantis Seismology Center has detected an ocean explosion at 13 East 7 North."
You say, "I do not know. They may be for or against us."

<Radio> "This is Mr. Johnson. I will pay anyone 1000 Oxy for the formula for Yinxenion. Once you have it, just send it over the radio."
You say, "I am asking for volunteers to assist in the defense of the port."
You say, "As you all know, we are all volunteers. No one is compelled to aid in the defense."
Sam shrugs and raises his cane partway in the air, "You can count on me."
Lady_Fox nods
You say, "Good."
Samuel pauses and looks at Argh, who seems to be not quite there.
You say, "Now, our current strength is four grade 4 droids and the four of us in this submarine."
Sam nods, "Any udea what the Totes can muster? I assume this is some sort of Tote plot."
You say, "I'm sure the Totes will be the edge of the blade, but I am not sure about who wields the sword."

Sam says, "Perhaps I should get some reinforcements?"
Samuel pauses for a moment, "I apologize, but I lack much experience in land warfare."
Sam says, "Or are you confident we can handle the invaders?"
You say, "I am not sure. If we have eight defenders, that should be enough. But I don't know what they have."
You say, "They can't bring more than 2 droids. More would disrupt the droids inner workings."

<Capitalist> Argh says, "and I only count as half a defender . . ."
Lady_Fox eyes focuses on the wall

<Capitalist> Argh says, "argh!"
Sam nods, "What if they bring a hovertank or some mercenaries? Did you hear that earlier radio call?"
You say, "I did. Do you think that may be related?"
Sam looks around, "Can anyone here turn themselves, say.... hard to see?"
Sam nods, "They specified Party port, did they not?"

You say, "Yes. I heard that."
Lady_Fox glances at Ensign Sam
You say, "Chief Fox, aren't you skilled with magic?"
Sam says, "I would suggest that some of us prepare ourselves invisible with the guard droids so that they don't spot us when they initially arrive."
Sam says, "An ambush."
Sam grins.
Samuel nods, "A good idea. Can anyone turn invisible?"
Lady_Fox clears throat, then smiles.
Sam nods briefly.
Sam says, "Then everyone else arrives from a sub in dock when called, to hit them from behind?"
Sam starts up the sub's engines.

Droid <#457>
This is a droid that stands exactly 2 meters tall. It is shaped like a human, but it is obviously mechanical. It's right arm ends in a long blade, it's left in a laser pistol. Ocean combat is also possible because it appears to be water-tight. Read '+help droid' for help on using this droid. To command this droid, you must be a member of the Capitalist faction with a rank of Master Sergeant, Master Chief, or higher.

Syria
        A large, finely crafted stone fountain dominates the center of this port. Hanging gardens are everywhere. It appears as if this port's primary role is to produce food. In addition to the hanging gardens, green houses are growing a variety of fruits and vegetables. A small wheat field covers the South side.
        Many of the people here are not people at all, they are robots. The robots handle all of the food growing and processing. Mixed throughout the port is a large farmer's market. Some of the best food is grown in Syria.
