HTZ, the bomb won't hit France. I have artificial gravity generators, I'll just use gravity fields made to spread in different directions, as a balanced force. Suspending the missile until I figure out what I should do with it.
*The airplanes approach Cairo. They cover the sky like a swarm of insects. There is radio chatter among the pilots.*
AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System plane):"All squadrons, this is E-3 AWACS. Rebel base heading 300 for 5 miles, do not engage, repeat, do not engage. There are friendly helicopters in the target area. Fighter Squadrons 1 through 10 provide CAP (Combat Air Patrol) around the area."
Squadron Leaders 1-10:"Copy that, moving into position."
AWACS:"Fighter Squadrons 11 through 20 patrol the entire city and provide SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defense), take out any and all missile sites, repeat, any and all missile sites, clear to engage, fire at will."
"Lord Veers, we have an emergency! A warhead has been fired at Shadowloria, our ally!"
"Who fired it?"
"The Tenktinites from the nation of Kar'm'lah."
"Very well, I want a communication channel opened with Hilyke. I must deliver an ultimatum to him. In the meanwhile, I want an engineer at our electromagnet accelerators. This may get ugly..."
"Yes, sir. Shall I have the troops ready for transport?"
"Yes. Keep them where they are, but have them ready to respond to an attack anywhere in the IPN within minutes. If need be, draft some citizens. They should be capable of fighting, especially with the education they have."
"I won't start the draft just yet, but I will have the existing troops on standby."
*Alpha 001 rushes from the room to hand down orders to the appropriate men. General Veers opens a communication channel with Lord Shadow.*
"Lord Shadow, I have received news that a warhead has been sent your way. Do you require any reinforcements, on air or in the ground?"
*After that, General Veers attempts to communicate with Hilyke.*
@ Clockwork: Nobody attacked Aidun. I was thinkin' about it though. And now for a little more interesting information: "Lusterbane" is a battle droid that Hilyke personally built. It is free thinking, but it follows all orders that Hilyke gives him. For the most part. Lusterbane cannot speak or communicate in any way besides nodding his head. Though he follows Hilyke's orders, he secretly despises him. Though Hilyke scorns anything and everything, the only thing he has ever truly loved is his sole creation. ------------------ *Hilyke looks over at a monitor and sees Veers is trying to contact him. Hilyke walks over to the monitor.* Hilyke: Let me guess, this is about that bomb? Well, if you make any attempt to stop us whatsoever, I will personally mutilate, rape, and slaughter all 78 civilian personnel in the building! SO F*** OFF! ------------------ *Lusterbane walks towards the helicopter. He glances back, wondering if he should stand by his master. He steps onto the helicopter as it takes off. The helicopter seems to have trouble holding his weight, but it lifts off and soars away. MEANWHILE, in a weapons convention somewhere underground in South Africa...*
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen! I give to you the owner of the highly acclaimed DoomSeed Corporation, now merged with LifeSeed Corporation; please give a round of applause to former Swiss General, Alvarin Ohmrengen! Ohmrengen: Thank you, thank you all very much. Our latest creation is quite possibly the best thing since the invention of industry. With the help of LifeSeed Corporation, we have developed a device so spectacular, so powerful, that someday anyone will be able to build and crush any army at the press of a button! *Crowd exchanges looks of amazement.* Ohmrengen: Behold...the Soul-Vac! *Members of the crowd snicker at the thought of such a cheesy sounding "weapon".* Ohmrengen: Oh, we've got some disbelievers in the crowd, eh? Observe! *He pulls out a blue handgun and shoots a crowd member. Members of the crowd scream, others are speechless.* Ohmrengen: Ahem, will you please check his pulse ma'am? Clearly he is dead! But wait! Is he really? Nay, his soul has merely left his body! *Ohmrengen presses a few buttons on the machine. Seconds later, the man is alive again, and all the blood is gone. The crowd exchanges even more looks of amazement.* Ohmrengen: Shall we start the bidding at a trillion dollars?

"Sir!" "What?" "Shadowloria is being nuked!!!" "Oh my God!" After a few moments of running around in circles and screaming: "Where!?!" "Salazar." "Crap. That's means there isn't anything we can do." "Aide, it is time to attack Estonia. Send all our navies (2) and all of our armies. (9) "Yes sir."
If you looked at my past posts, you'd see that I already had gravity defense systems set up. I activated them, and that so called super missile is now in suspension over France. Blow it up, guess what? Gravity will strengthen and contain the blast.
HTZ, the bomb thing is over. Although, TSL is still going to blow Cairo up.
Sranger Invasion of Estonia (11 vs. 10): Offense has 6 armies after the battle. Defense has 0 armies after the battle. Offense wins.
Lord Shadow:*To General Veers.* "That will not be necessary. Vertigo and I have the situation under control, but thank you very much for your concern."
=================================
AWACS:"This is AWACS, Bomber Squadrons 21 through 30, the helicopters have departed, you are clear to engage the target, fire at will, use EMP ordnance only."
*Ten squadrons of 4 planes each fly over the Tenktinite base and drop EMP bombs, wiping out its electronics.*
AWACS:"Excellent work, men. Fighter Squadrons 31 through 70, bug out and head back for the aircraft carriers. Squadrons 1 through 30 stay in your positions and standby for further orders."
*The Kar'altaners walk into the base, only to find it completely deserted.* Mordavo: Where'd they go?
*Meanwhile, somewhere, in another established Tenktinite base.* Brakbatten: Excellent work, soldiers. Operation Decoy was a total success. Not only did we succeed in escaping the base mostly unscathed, but we also got rid of the bomb, safely. Let us continue our fight for righteousness and glory!
Armies: 17 Black Market:10/10 (20 bonus all around and building 1 more army per turn!) Seized weapons: 10/10 (Instant 10 bonus) Evacuation: 5/5 complete!

AWACS:"We've just received word that the base in Cairo was merely a decoy. However, we are unsure if there are actually civilian hostages in the building. Clear to deploy paratroopers!"
*A C-130 cargo plane flies toward the city and drops 20 paratroops at the fake base. They go inside to search for civilians."
===============================
*Meanwhile in Britain, Lord Shadow welcomes back NF2 from Greenland. He turns to a servant and writes him a note.*
Lord Shadow:"Go to the nearest medical engineering facility and get some sort of robot suit for this man."
Servant:"It will be done, Your Majesty."
*He walks out the door. Lord Shadow responds to the Nonjas' call.*
Lord Shadow:"We were bombing Cairo because there was... or at least, we thought there was... a Tenktinite rebel base there. Now, originally we were going to EMP bomb the entire city, but our air force spotted a Kar'm'Lah helicopter outside the base. So we were able to pinpoint the exact location and leave the rest of the city completely untouched. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Nonja: Eh, we just had a relatively minor Nonja Fighter cotton camp there anyway, ever since Project VIROS evacuated Egypt and relocated all the major landmarks.
But wait! The missile hits...
...nothing. I'm not pulling that meteor thing again.
"Sir, I have good news! Two things, in fact: A: The missile's been stopped." "Phew." "And B: WE BEAT ESTONIA!" "YES! I have a speech to make." *Three hours later, at The heart of Town (Sranger's capital), Aleksandry is speaking, with a large crowd, and a bunch of refreshments and everything* "The days of being little Sranger are over. Today, we conquered Estonia, the country to the north. In a grand battle, they had 10 armies. However, we still won with the majority of our troops. Any other army would have lost, but not our expert troops! I thank all of you who helped us win this battle. Now, we are not simply Sranger. We... are... the SR Conglomerate!" *lots of cheering* "And now, onward! We may even become a world power someday. We just need to keep on pushing. Pushing for victory!" *The crowd goes wild, and Aleksandry takes a chocolate cake off the huge table of stuff, and sits down and eats with his generals.* Army: 6 Latvia (I actually gained a new army when I posted, I just forgot to post that) Navy: 2 Latvia
Sorry Clockwork, but the map hasn't been updated in a while. I control that country. And the other blue one below it. ALSO Operation Decoy's objective was to steal the Kar'm'lah's only super weapon, fire it as a distraction, and evacuate the facility while focus was on the bomb. THE BASE ITSELF WAS NOT A DECOY!
I am the restless haunt of DBF.
I'm in ur walls, eetin' ur pilloes! So get away from mah corn! I'm in ur cornfield, WHISPERING IN UR EARS!!!
@ HTZ: Either way, there are now Shadowlorian troops inside the base searching for hostages. Were the hostages evacuated along with the rebels?
*The servant arrives with the robot suit for NF2. Then NF2 is transported to the research facility in Salazar. Scientists 1 and 2 welcome him back. The crates are still in the room.*
Scientist 1:"Great to see you again! Let's begin, shall we?"
=============================
*Meanwhile, Lord Shadow and a huge crowd gather at the rocket launch site. The Lunar Orbit Space Station is going to be launched into space. The station is in 5 relatively large pieces, inside 5 separate rockets lined up next to each other, spaced 3 miles apart from each other. Inside each of the capsules are 10 men, including scientists, engineers, and military personnel. A technician begins the countdown for Rocket 1.*
*The rocket takes off and soars up into the sky. Once it is completely out of sight, the countdown begins for the next rocket. The process repeats until all 5 rockets are in space. The stages have been jettisoned and the 5 capsules are bound for the moon.*
Lord Shadow:*To himself.* "Excellent. We already have lunar landers, so Part II will be the Expansion Capsules."
*Scientist 1 ushers Scientist 2 and NF2 over to a crate and opens it.*
===================================
*Meanwhile*
Lord Shadow:"Well, since we've got some scientists freed up, I think we should work on Project Frontier Part III: Designing the moon base itself. Get to it."
@ TSL: No, the hostages were not evacuated yet. But if you go inside, there are about 40 left in there, some were taken with the escaping rebels, and there are about 20 killed in the main command center, execution style. And of course, you'll need to find a way into the main command center, as the doors were automatic. --------------- *Somewhere, in the NEW Tenktinite base...* Hilyke: I think that we got all of the essential personnel-wait. Did we get the prisoner? OH SH- --------------- Kar'alta: Mordavo! We found a long shaft with a ladder going down it! Mordavo: Well, let's see what's down there! *They climb down for about 10 minutes. The ladder ends at a very high-tech holding cell.* Mordavo: Is anyone in here? *A figure walks out of the shadows of the cell and into the dim light. He appears to be wearing a red shirt that used to be white.* Mordavo: Who are you? Identify yourself or be shot! ?: Something tells me you'll still shoot me. Mordavo: Depends on who you are. Cahalyte: I am the man who should be wearing Hilyke's Skull Mask of Shame. I'm also his father. I'm also wanted for the murder of 4,000 civilians. In one day. I'm proud of that boy. He's surpassed my record tenfold.

*The paratroopers are now inside the Cairo base. The commander of the group turns on his radio and calls for reinforcements from Sudan. Meanwhile, all the planes above fly back to the aircraft carriers to the east. The commander tells his men to wait at the entrance to the base. The commander runs down the hall and finds the automatic doors to the main control room. They can't open because the electricity is down. From 20 feet away, he throws a grenade at the automatic doors and runs back to the entrance. The grenade explodes, and the 20 troops rush back down the hall to check if the doors have been destroyed.*
*Inside the command center* Civilian: Oh thank god! Someone finally showed up! Help us! *Closer inspection reveals that they are all rigged with C4 and proximity detectors.*
