"Papers, please." The airport clerk watched as the family presented their passports for inspection. His eyes immediately noticed the black pebbled leather covering them, along with the streak of stars moving from left to right. This passport was Bosnian. The clerk looked up at the family and...

@Fairhold "I will take your advice," The Sultan replied to The Portuguese Governmental Representative. "However, I wish to return to my people at the earliest possible convenience. I cannot allow myself to remain out of danger, when there are those within Turkey's borders who do not have such a...

"Yesterday, a firefight broke out between Turkish military and law enforcement personnel and the security personnel of The Bosnian Embassy in Istanbul." Erdogan began, having called a press conference to address the public's queries regarding the siege, along with the backlash inflicted upon his...

A number of the Republicans did open fire at the helicopters, but were swiftly cut down, while their small arms fire bounced harmlessly off the aircraft. With it now very apparent that they could do nothing, those that hadn't been shot by heavy machine gun fire fled into the backstreets and...

@Jace "Very well," Mustafa murmured, before quickly scribbling down the address he was currently located. He then showed the scrap of paper to Jacob. "This is where your personnel can find me." He said. "Sorry for writing it down, but it'd probably be harder for anyone attempting to listen in...

@Jace "Then yes, I do believe we can secure Istanbul's airport. However, we must time it so that the flight arrives immediately after it's been secured. It's inevitable that the Republicans will rush to retake the airport, so it would be wiser for all concerned to secure the building, allow the...

@Jace "Do you not have a consulate or other establishment in Istanbul? Ankara is over 200 miles away."

@Jace "Tricky," Mustafa commented. "But possible. I could take a group of volunteers and attempt to capture Ataturk airport. However, I doubt we could hold it for long, even if we were to secure the weapons of the security staff there, remember; security was increased by Erdogan to allow the...

@Jace "Weapons," Mustafa replied. "If I was to be magically given a crate of ammunition and guns right now, I'd lead a group against the Republicans right now. Sadly, we have nothing even remotely military to our name." The battle had become a literal blood bath. In exchange for the dozen, or...

@Jace "There is no need for a translator." Mustafa assured them, his language changing from Turkish to English. "I was a part of the NATO-UN force dispatched to former Yugoslavia back in the 1990's." The admiral then rubbed his chin in thought. "As for how you can help," He mused. "I do not...

"Shit!" The sudden exclamation caused the commander to look up from his map. He found that his troops were being shredded by machine gun fire originating from the besieged building. With a solitary eyebrow raising, he gazed at the open windows of the embassy, which were glinting with the...

"Ferhat Akyol, Turkish Freelancer!" Another journalist stated. "I'd like the third question to be about the military and foreign policy. In the past week or so, we've seen a nationalist uprising in Canada due to the influx of Muslim refugees from Africa and The Middle East, while Turkey is...

The Sultan, while not a medic, provided as much comfort as he can to those who were wounded in the basement, and assistance to those attempting to help. His family follow his example and busy themselves with tending to wounds or chatting with the battered and bruised Bosniaks to help them relax...

The sudden resistance sparked by the defiant Bosnian's forces the Turks to pull back. They had been certain that the numerous grenades and shells thrown at the building had left them all dead and mutilated. Instead, they were facing metaphorical cornered lions, but the ferocity they fought back...

With the sight of a gun pointed at him, The Sultan submitted immediately. He was a pacifist, and he had nothing to defend himself with. After raising his hands to show he understood and was obeying his order, he retreated back into the basement. "I was looking for the ambassador," He explained...

Before the ACV-SW was struck by the LAW, it was able to fire a shot directly at the front door of the embassy. Very little remained of the door or the reception area behind it, however very little remained of the ACV-SW once the LAW struck it, and its ammunition, causing the vehicle, and its...

The Jandarma immediately dropped dead to the ground. Panic set in as the armoured cars trained their heavy machine guns onto the windows of the embassy and opened fire. The rest of the troop, who were on foot, scrambled for cover and opened fire upon any trace of activity they could see through...

The Jandarma watch back just as vigilantly. They were holding all the cards, since they'd cut off the electricity, gas and water, and were preventing anyone from entering or leaving. It was inevitable that the besieged would run out of food, eventually. "This siege can end right now if you hand...

"Very well!" The officer grasped his radio and called HQ. After explaining the situation, it was agreed that the cordon would be bolstered with another platoon of Jandarma, and armoured vehicles. Within two hours, the siege had increased to 43 men, accompanied by 6 Otokar ZPT armoured cars...
