We have big news, your highness! We finished our super missile! It was a complete success! We also captured Malaysia! Another success! Now we have our sights set on Laos! Oh, and who's this guy?

*Lord Shadow turns and sees the Kar'm'Lah representative at the massive, ornate double doors to the room. Lord Shadow has a puzzled and somewhat annoyed look on his face.*
Lord Shadow:"I'm terribly sorry, sir, but you picked a very bad time for this. You're gonna have to wait a while." *Lord Shadow looks at a guard.* "Take him out outside the room."
*The guard escorts the representative out of the room. The double doors close.*
Oh come on, HtZ. You aren't gonna cause a mega-tsunami that can cover the globe's shores THAT early in the game. A regular nuke, sure, but it wouldn't be capable of such things as a tsunami of that size.
__: Well, I had a backup plan in the event of my capture. There's already a crate prepared in such an event, complete with security system. It should arrive next post.
Lord Shadow:"But listen here. This seems a little fishy to me, so I don't want it delivered to our capital. I want it delivered somewhere more remote... Greenland. Got it?"
__: I'll tell you the password once I'm almost there. Once the password is entered it will have a one-hour delay before completely opening. However, a small window will open, revealing the technologies within, proving they are there.
Lord Shadow:*Facepalm* "This just keeps getting fishier and fishier, doesn't it?? How do I know you'll actually give me the password? And how do I know that password will actually work???
Okay, it didn't cause a tsunami. But it was (supposedly) visible from space! ----------------- TENKTINITE ATTACK! Tenktinites: 3 Kar'm'lah: 32 RESULT: Tenktinites: 0 Kar'm'lah: 31 --------------- *Breaking News! On-site interview with Kar'akhto Falanix on the incident.* Falanix: We have suffered zero casualties from the attack, but the Shadowlorians lost one force. --------------- *The representative pokes his head through the door.* Rep: Yeah, and how does the Shadowlord know the box won't just blow up?

*In Kar'Italus, the commander of the Shadowlorian forces approaches Falanix after the rebel attack.*
Commander:"I think it's time we crushed this rebellion once and for all. Did you happen take any Tenktinites prisoner during the battle? Surely we can torture out of them the location of the rebel base. Then Shadowloria can strike with full force and obliterate them."
Falanix: I'm sorry commander, but that information is highly classified. All I can say is that the KHSIA is working around the clock to find their base, and their base seems to change location. Although, It probably wouldn't hurt to say that they have apparently started training soldiers faster. We are still uncertain as to how they are getting all of these recruits.

Commander:"Well, if you refuse to let us in on basic military intelligence, there's really not much we can do to help. Shadowloria's military might is pretty much useless to you if we can't even figure out where the enemy is based."
__: I'll give you the password before you let me go. A window will open, proving that they are, in fact, there, but the container will open after I am free, so you can't just hold on to me. We thought the crate out.
*Lord Shadow leads ___ and the guards back into the palace, playfully slapping the Kar'm'Lah representative on the back while entering.*
*Lord Shadow turns to a guard.*
Lord Shadow:"Get the palace staff to get ahold of Nonja-Fighter 2. Put him on a plane to Greenland as soon as possible. Oh, and give him my condolences for the loss of his friend."
Guard:"Yes, Your Majesty."
*The guard leaves. Lord Shadow goes over to the video conference screen on the wall and begins to open a connection to a research facility in Greenland, where the crate has arrived.*
Lord Shadow:*To ___.* "Now, the password, please?"
*In the Tenktinite base.* Hilyke: Alright, maggots. Our weapons specialist, Kaptain Klunk, is here to inform you on the new weapons we acquired from a recent raid of a military base. Now you all listen up, you worthless little sacks of sh- Kpt. Klunk: That'll do, Hilyke. Get out of here. *Hilyke walks out.* Good! Let's get started then! My assistant, Mohawk Dan, will be demonstrating the various new weapons while I explain their uses and drawbacks. Ahem, let's start with the mustard gas, a down-home warfare classic...
*Meanwhile, at the KHSIA Covert Base.* Kar'alta: They took the bait, Prime Alta. Mordavo: Have you tracked the signal? Kar'alta: The signal is coming from Cairo! Mordavo: CAIRO?! What in gods name are they doing in Cairo?! Get me the head Shadowlorian commander, NOW!

Mordavo: Our Altaners have successfully located the Tenktinite base. Hopefully this is their main base, but we cannot be sure. We are fairly certain that the head of their military is present in the facility. The base is in Cairo. *Mordavo gives the commander the exact coordinates.*

*The commander in Kar'Italus contacts Lord Shadow via his radio.*
Commander:"Your Majesty, this is the commander of the Kar'Italus Shadowlorian forces. Do you copy?"
Lord Shadow:"Yes, Commander, I copy. What's the situation?"
Commander:"We believe we have located the rebel base. It's in Cairo. We request heavy reinforcements and a naval blockade of Egypt."
Lord Shadow:"Hmm... I'm extremely busy at the moment, so... Tell you what; Commander, I'm temporarily putting you in charge of all Shadowlorian forces everywhere. Do what you need to do. Over."
*The commander switches off his radio and turns to Mordavo.*
Commander:"Excellent! I've got it all planned out. Here's what we'll do:
Shadowloria has built up massive army reserves in Britain and massive navy reserves in Pakistan. I can bring navy fleets into the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to completely blockade Egypt's entire coastline. Then, I can bring in ground troops to completely surround Cairo and form a perimeter around the entire country.
To the south of Egypt lies Sudan, a Shadowlorian territory. To the west of Egypt lies Libya, an ally of Shadowloria. To the east of Egypt lies massive Nonja forces. There is absolutely no possible way they can escape. From there, I can send in aircraft to drop EMP bombs on Cairo, frying all electronics in the city. Not only will their communications be fried, but all their vehicles too. They won't be able to get out by land, air, or sea.
Then the troops can move in and take all of them prisoner. Or, if you'd rather just kill 'em all, we can drop chemical bombs on them, which will still leave the city itself intact. Take your pick."
(I realize I might be overdoing it, but I wanna have some fun with these rebel scum! )
A small window opened in the crate. Through it, several crates were visible. Most of these crates also had windows in them, revealing their contents to be the usual things you could expect: Guns, hard drives, computers, the biotechnology and space equipment, a model of the Capsule and Alvaro project, that sort of thing. Some crates were closed off, and also appeared to be made of metal. A countdown timer was also there, counting down from an hour.
*At this point, NF2 has arrived at the research facility in Greenland.*
Scientist 1:"Welcome, sir, welcome! This crate arrived a while ago, we put in the passcode, and there is a timer counting down on it. It should open momentarily."
Scientist 2:"It kinda seems a little fishy, so just to be safe, we're going to move to another room while we wait."
*The scientists lead NF2 up to an observation deck above the room, with bulletproof windows.*
(You've probably noticed by now that all Shadowlorians are ridiculously paranoid. Lol. ;D)
This sitting around is getting old. Why not skip forward to when the plane arrives and the timer is approaching the end?
PS: Wow, the timing of this game is so variable. We've done over 10 years (probably 15 to 20 by now) over a few months (not counting the game before the great game revival), but now one hour is taking sooo loooong.
"Our progress is slowing down significantly. We think that, because we haven't finished any projects quickly, we won't be able to finish our current projects quickly. The perception of progress is affecting our progress. We need either to finish these projects ASAP, or halt them in favor of quicker ones."
"Our engineers must have patience. They will finish soon enough..."
Nonjas quickly surround the plane and take __ off, before signaling to the plane to leave.
At the same time, the crate in Greenland opens. So do the sealed metal crates inside, revealing...
...water. Inside the water are some hard drives, presumably with information. They must have been cooled during the flight, since the rest of the crate seems to have a heating system so the guns don't freeze.
Not much else is visible from outside the chamber.
*The three of them enter th room and approach the crate.*
Scientist 1:"Hmm... This is strange..."
*Scientist 1 pulls out a hard drive from the crate and examines it.*
Scientist 1:"I wonder..."
*He walks over to a wall and removes a panel, revealing a computer console. He takes out the computer's old hard drive, and connects the one from the crate. He attempts to turn on the computer.*
