IMPORTANT A Warning From the Future

[Snowfire]

EMERGENCY MESSAGE TO EVERYONE WITHIN EUROPE:

Full scale orbital bombardment of mainland Europe commencing in five minutes. I need to get the satellites into place (that's the only reason for a delay - I was not expecting this). My defensive systems (and those of my friends) are currently holding the windmills at a line based around the Caledonian Canal and Inverness. At the current rate of attack they will have overwhelmed those lines within two hours. At that point we're going to evac directly to Victoria and continue digging in. The first transports should be there within ten minutes. I have a group of transports with a heavy escort en route to Liverpool. Katie, get everyone you know together and GET THEM OUT OF THERE! I'll hold of the bombardment of that zone until you're clear.

Elomin! Daco! I'm tracking your co-ordinates. I can't get you out without using the teleport system and we're saving power for a wide-area transport to Victoria. If you can hold on for another two hours I'll pull you (and any cohorts you may have left at that point) out with us. Thank GOD we have our own dedicated power supplies out here otherwise we'd be truly screwed. Gunner, I need transport co-ordinates for the teleport and my first group of transports will be at Victoria soon. They're going to prepare measures to destory all links to the mainland and then start putting together a power grid. After that they're yours until the next group arrives with the generator components and turret bases.

I don't cherish any notions about holding Scotland against these things, the first reports are coming in of windmills appearing out of the sea north of my location. Orkney will probably hold (they have a full defense grid installed around them that will give them time to prepare. Once the Caledonian line falls we're outa here. Keep fighting people! Orbital bombardment now commencing in two minutes. To everyone still alive in mainland Europe, GET UNDERCOVER NOW!!!! Selective bombardment of Britain will initiate in eight minutes from this post. I'm transmitting safe zones to everyone I can. Get to those zones and hold them. We'll pull you out of there with the teleport if you survive.

[Master Gunner]

I'm sending you the coordinates now, along with a set of activation codes. The Hadrian Wall separated Scotland from the Romans, and now it will seal it off from the Dutch. I've secretly being rebuilding it from underneath, using modern technologies, as well as a more extensive perimeter around the coast. When activated, it will completely seal off Scotland from the rest of the world, nothing in or out. So activate it only as a last resort, the shields are designed to last for years, and can only be turned off from the control center at Stonehenge.

[DmitriW]

Ik ben ik, Don Quichote, de heer van la Mancha! Mijn lot oproepen, en ik ga! En de wilde winden van fortuin verdere voert mij, verwelken mogelijke wijze zij blazen!

There is no escape. The Dutch will rule this world...join us, and receive a free pair of wooden shoes. And your own windmill for the milling of delicious grains.

Indienen bij uw nieuwe meesters!

[Master Gunner]

NEVER!!!

[DmitriW]

We knew better than to expect you to surrender, Gunner. You've been a thorn in our side for years.

And, for the record? We already control Stonehenge. Your rebuilt Hadrian Wall is useless.

[Master Gunner]

That's what you think.

[DmitriW]

Yes. Yes it is.

Wij zal doorstaan!

[Alja-Markir]

The Orbital Bombardment has begun.

[theDreamer]

Allow me to say this once, and only once:

Give me liberty from windmills, or give me death!

Oh, you say the cake is nice, yes, I'll have some too, thank you kindly.

Now, to business.

*Toasts*

*draws his sword*

Time to fight me some dutch.

[Arius]

Oh, golly. I'm sorry for all of the wars. That was just downright unnecessary of us. We're disbanding the US military now. Also, that whole American Revolution thing. We're really sorry for that. But don't worry, we're working on paying back all of our loans and then we're going to pay our back taxes to Britain.

[DmitriW]

You see? There is no resisting us. The eastern coast of North America has already fallen to our influence. Now, Arius, how would you like a pair of wooden shoes?

[Daco]

not unless they are japanese sandals , and even then we wont surrender !

WE NEED THE MOTHER FUCKIGN DUKE DAMNIT

[Elomin Sha]

The Dutch infected the LRR site, they took it down but the Spirit of the Beard still rests upon Paul's chin and the site has been resurrected.

good he's still on our side

[DmitriW]

I...my god...the Spirit of the Beard...it's so beautiful...

...I...I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. I'll do what I can to destroy the windmills from behind their lines...I don't think they'll expect to see my attack coming. Snowfire...if you guys still have power for the teleports, save a bit for me. Assuming I have a chance to do so, I'll signal you for transport before I'm taken out.

Wish me luck.

[Keab42]

I come from further in the future, it is a diversion, a feint. Watch the rear for the Bear army is massing...

[Elomin Sha]

I'm training up the special marine force of otters and stoats. The waters shall be protected.

[DmitriW]

The bears may be massing, but it's likely just to take advantage of our attentions being elsewhere. I can tell you, without a doubt, that the Dutch mean business.

They've yet to notice my betrayal. I've infiltrated a WindMech, and have incapacitated the pilot. Here come the fireworks, boys and girls...

[NachoManLance]

I'm 12, and what is this?

[Katie]

Snowfire, this is Liverpool calling.

We have taken massive casualties. The Beatles Museum, Hard Day's Night Hotel and John Lennon's Memorial Luggage have all been destroyed. Morale is low. Thank God no actual Beatles live here.

We're holed up in the Liverpool stadium and we desperately need those co-ordinates.

We've gathered up all the red shirts we can, we're just waiting for your mark. God willing we'll live to rebuild...

Liverpool Out.

[DmitriW]

Katie, I think I'm near your position. How many redshirts do you have? This thing is built as a troop transport...

[Katie]

About this many. Really not happy bunnies right now...

We can be ready to go any time. Thank you for coming to us in our hour of need!

[DmitriW]

It's the least I can do...I have to make up for falling to the influence of the Dutch.

I'll drop the access ramp as soon as I clear the windmills in your area. Have your people ready to go as soon as I give the all clear.

[Thysane]

To all who can hear this:

I managed to stumble free from the wreckage of the jazz club, a double bass in one hand and the torn sails of a windmill dragging along on the ground in the other. It was a difficult fight. I had to decapitate the pilot with a ride cymbal and beat another to death with a trombone.

Now I head as far as I can, keeping low and ever vigilant for the tell-tale swooshing sound of a marauding windmill. Hopefully I can reach the coast, perhaps find a ship.... who knows....

For now I must press on. The dutch are not far behind.

[DmitriW]

Katie: I'm in position. Ramps are deployed, but the Dutch have backup inbound. We have a limited window, here...I'll hold position as long as possible. Get your people on board now.
