Just in the past few minutes the President of the Republic of Texas, in an statement said that the attack was an apropiate response to aggresive actions by the ASA on a Diplomatic plane coming from cheyanne.

After the break. Reports of Rebellion in the ASA as Ham radio operators report more ASA units are abandoning their posts and heading for kansas, and what this may mean for relations with the ASA and what of rumors of a possible military draft.

The President tomarchio entered the still uncompleted antechamber of the ASA capital and headed for the Presidents Quarters on the Second Floor. When he arrived his second in Command and Minister of Homeland Security Thomas Valente sat seated in one of the chairs. John Tomarchio headed to the wooden desk he had important from his home in montana and began to speak."Hello, Thomas what crisis brings you here."Thomas stood up and began to speak. Sir, we have many problems that need to be addressed. First off, the rebellion in the Kansas town of Jericho continues to gain momentum. We have reports that the 112th air regiment abandoned their base after hearing of the evidence commander Beck of the 10th Mountain aquired and have landed near the town. Also, without Texas and their oil all our oil is coming from alaska, which will meet our immediate need but until the pipeline is fixed we will have to depend on what we have in reserve. Well Thomas, if your ravenwood boys had not messed things up down there we would not be in this mess."John said as he stood up at his desk."John, do not forget who put you there, for a coup de tat happened once it can happen again. Dont you forget that." Thomas said as he drank his tea."Thomas sat back down and for 2 minutes looked at the man in the chair across his desk. The man could look innocent but he had also brought about the destruction of 26 major american cities, he was a man to be feared for now at least John Thought."This squabbling aint getting us anywhere, what is done is done. What we need to focus on is what to do now. First thing's first, we have to deal with our rebellion problem. Actually, Jericho may give us the solution to our Oil problem. However, i am going to need the services of Ravenwood to accomplish what i have in mind."Thomas, looked over at John stood up and walked over to the desk."As Always, Ravenwood is at your disposal, Mr President." The two men would work into the night to plan how to deal with two problems at once.

If anyone would have told President John Williams that before the end of the year the United States would be literally broken up and that he would be leading one of the new countries. He would either have laughed them out of the room, or shot them depending on his level of Beer in his system. Yet, here he was A Vietnam vet, Former member of the NRA, Listening to his Air Force Chief explain the Air battle that had taken place over southern Oklahoma the day before in the Governor's office. Mike Simpson, was the head of the Texas Air National Guard and showed it in his frame of 6,1. Wearing a flgihtsuit with the US flag torn off and a Texas Flag put on in it's place. After the Attacks he had taken control of all Aircraft and had helped John assemble his Staff"John, as you know yesterday, in accordance with your instructions we protected a diplomatic lear jet heading for Repbulic of Texas Airspace. Before the Jet could enter Texas two Tomcats from a ASA airbase out of Kansas intercepted the aircraft and tryed to force it down. When the jet did not land they locked on to it with missles but before the tomcats could fire two hornets from a tempoarary naval air station out of sweetwater intercepted and destroyed the two ASA fighters no ejection pods could be seen. The shuttle landed a short time later with a device and two people on board one of them injured. The two men were taken to memorial for treatment and have stayed there under guard."
John then spoke."Good, Jacob do we have any idea who they are or how they came to be in possession of one of the Nuclear devices that caused all of the anarchy."Jacob Madeson was the chief of Galveston's Police department before the fall and John brought him on because after the bombs fell he was the only person in authority who kept Galveston from burning to the ground when most of the governmental staff had left for the camps. He was 6,2 with a stockey build and brown hair. Over his right eye was a round scar from a bullet fragment he took during a swat raid many years ago."When the two gentlemen, got to the hospital i talked ot the unhurt one. His claims his name is Jake Green from the City of Jericho in Central Kansas, and the hurt one was one Robert Hawkins also of Jericho. Jake has suffered some mild dehydration, and some cuts he will be fine but Robert is Another Story. According to the Doctors, at Memorial Hospital. He Has a GSW to the stomach which appears to have lacerated a liver and hit several blood vessels before exiting the body. When i left this morning after interviewing Jake Green Again, the Docs had stopped the bleeding but he was in serious but Stable condition. They tell me had this injury happened before the bombs he would make a full recovery but without the Antibiotics they are not sure. They are waiting to see if he gets an infection before downgrading. Do we know anything about the Bomb they brought, Jacob? I talked a professor from a Universoty who was in Texas when the Attacks happened. He had been leading one of the Survey teams into the Houston Badlands to determine where the nuclear material in the bomb came from. He doesn't know where the material came from but he did confirm for me that the device we brought him is a live Nuclear Weapon of the 4 megaton range and that the device and the houston bomb's Nuclear Material came from the same place as the iostopes in both are the same in both radioactive in inpurites. To summarize both got their radioactive material from the same place."
John, then stood up and walked to the window. "Jacob i want you to continue to enterview Green and Hawkins find out who wanted to shut them up. I also want you to step up efforts to strenghten our military. If you have to call a draft then i want you to but give me a 24 hour notice so i can make some kind of statement. Mike, i want increased combat air patrols over the northern teir of the Republic."Mike then stood up and spoke."John are you expecting trouble. Yes, I am because right now we are the only Oil Producing area in country besides Alaska. We also know from Ham radio operators, that the ASA has been having some fuel problems. I now have the evidence to make a security agreement with the Eastern United States. Once that happens they may become desperate enough to do something crazy so yea i am expecting trouble from the ASA. Also Mike, gather as many engineer's you can and begin building miltary bases all over but away from the cities. I want a place ot put all of the draftees if we have too."The men stood nodded and left ot begin. John then looked out the window at the galveston shoreline and spoke to himself."They are coming i just hope i am wrong about that, because if we aint it is Civil War all over again."
