Domestic Situation:

We've done our fucking hardest to ensure that the truth of Originium in the United States does not leak out of North America and Britain. The FBI, NSFA, the CIA, everything.

We generated so many half truths, so many stories and lies.

We're trying to mine and clean out the Originium out of the United States core and into the farthest northern islands and northern Greenland.

We're glad as shit that the Rangers in the UN meeting did not reveal anything about the crystals.

If the PRC knows... then god have mercy on everybody.

If any really figures out it isn't some sort of extended maintenance, then we're in a heap of trouble.

We aren't totally trusting the WHO in our homeland, but in Terra, we can.

Let's hope we can work with Ms. Amiya and Rhodes Island, mutually benefitting each other, while also getting each other's back.

We need to

- Private, High Level message from the American Secretary of State

23 SA330s, 7 Wildcat Mk 1s, and plenty of LPPVs and American JLTVs for Anti-Crowd dispersion.

They'll also have some Sherpa A2Ms, 5 of them exactly.

- British Secretary of State for Defense

We have some fine soldiers and their units that will come over there, we hope they are received well.

We have a nice lot set up by our parliamentary building and our military headquarters. They should be enough to house you all.

British 1st Expeditionary Force - Terran Regiment

A wheat-blonde man sat in one of the passenger seats of a transport helicopter bound for Londonium. He had warm, inviting chocolate eyes, fair skin with hints of tan. He held his L85A3 firmly, watching the grasslands slowly turn to Victorian style buildings and streets. Place was lovely, truly does remind him of the old pictures of England back in the more golden days of the British Empire.

The helicopter fleet kept on flying, and as expected the people below stopped what they were doing and stared at the group.

Shopkeeps came out of the shop to see all of the aircraft fly in, regular civilians looked up. Mounted police and regular police stopped their vehicles or horses and watched.

Several started to get phones out to start recording.

Media coverage, not the best thing in the world.

A very large American helicopter was holding the 2 Challengers and plenty of supplies. This thing looked like a severely large version of the Osprey, and lumbered through the air. It was looked as if it was being dragged down more significantly compared to the rest of the air fleet.
