So it begins...: The clock is now ticking... the One Year War is On the Horizon Now...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Economy (You have 5 Actions...)
[X]Balance the Budget: Let's have a look at the Budget. Because if there is anything about the government is that unnecessary crap is often that things need to be cut to help the nation...like a politician's paycheck or paying for prisoners medical services because spacing the serial killer is cheaper. AP Needed: 1 DC: ??? Effect: AP to one area is added by one. At the cost of an action in another category being lost in that turn...except on a nat 100.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Today had not gone according to plan...". Thought Degwin Morosely staring at the half empty bottle of Zionist Whiskey on his table top...
Then again, finding out that the operation to silence your rival and sweep away the trash backfiring so spectacularly that it was visible from the rest of Zion is not something typically seen...
It started of as expected really (Zion Deikun was really far to easy to assassinate as it stood for one who should have been the "Founding Father" of a nation... just goes to show how weak he really was).
The Problems began to arise after Your agents started dealing with the loose ends...
Somehow, Someway Yang Wei Shen... The WEREWOLF HIMSELF, deigned to interfere... alongside this was the AEUG (Blasted Martians...) and "unknown" Operatives (Yet another thing coming back to bite at the worst moment!). (YOU WERE EXPECTING A HANDFUL OF LOYALISTS AND MARS MEDDLERS... NOT A BLOODY BLITZKRIEG AT YOUR DOORSTEP!)
Your Mopup crew's were more focused towards making the deaths look "Accidental" so were crushed with Impunity by the rescue force and your counterstrike teams (setup in anticipation of a potential rescue) were swamped and disposed off within the span of less than 20 minutes... By the time you were informed and had Scrambled a response the Deikuns and their rescue teams had already gotten halfway along their chosen "Evacuation Route" (You hesitate to call it that as WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD ATTACK A MILITARY DOCKS AND MAKE OF WITH A SHIP THERE?!)
THE BLOODY WEREWOLF HIMSELF... APPARENTLY.
Case in point. Since you were not expecting said action they massacred through the Military Docks Guard Force before Boarding one of the newly built
Gwazine-class battleships and blasting the other 2 completed ships (And the rest of the MILITARY SHIPYARDS TO DUST!)
THEY THEN HAD THE AUDACITY TO MAKE OF WITH THE
LAST DAMN SHIP!!!
"... They will pay for this.... THEY WILL PAAAYY!!!!!!!!!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Result:You Critfailled In Your Assassination of Char and Layla So Spectacularly that the rescue force Massacred your Assassin teams. Massacred your rallied "Defence Force" and then proceeded to Make its way to the Military Shipyards, Capture one of the Completed Flagships and use it to Atomise the rest of Your Docks and the other completed ships then perform Grand Theft Flagship and Escape in that... While Yang Regalled tales of how your forces were thoroughly incompetent and that he was expecting "So Much More..." more over the Wide Band Fleet Coms as he left...)
(If you can't tell Degwin Is Furious)
----------------------------------------------------------
Consequences: Failure to Assassinate Surviving Deikuns (Only suceeded on killing Zeon Zum Deikun and even that was Botched),Total Loss of All 3 Newly Constructed
Gwazine-class Fleet Flagships, Death of over half of your ZDF (Zion Defence Forces), Total destruction of all the Assassin Forces You deployed to Kill the Deikuns (Given How you have repeatedly under invested in Intelligence and only succeeded last turn due to a nat 100... basically your entire Black Operations Is Dead) And to Top it all of the Military Docks have been Completely Destroyed (Need to take Build/Rebuild Military Shipyards Option if you intend to build anymore Vessels above patrol boat Size on Zion again... at a harsh DC penalty due to the Extremely Dangerous rebuild Conditions (Your Rebuilding a completely leveled Unstable Shipyard where there are undetonated Ordinance, Volatile Fuels and Other Nasty Things Lying Around...)
AN: I would say I'm sorry for you... but given how you got VERY Cocky Last turn and didn't properly plan this turn its kinda warranted...)
