We have authorized some Russian Reserves to head up to the surrounding towns near Chernobog, we hope to meet and see some folks in the rural areas. That's if there is any surrounding towns.

Entering Chernobog proper is not advised.

Russian Reserves are to follow an RoE of "Shoot if fired upon by confident hostile"

That is all. Only a regiment will go, and they will have American observers to make sure they don't do any funny business.

"Nothin' but some chips"


Same day


When 5:00pm struck, Mr. Edmund and the others had to freshen up, it was time for a bit of a dinner party. Horn was waiting, with Bagpipe, alongside some soldiers and another captain that were going to escort them.

Edmund was staying in his BDU, something that was mimicked by everybody else. They kept their pistol in a more subtle holster at their side. They didn't carry their rifles. That was locked up in one of the floors of the Parking structure that became one of the armories.

They all had more official officer caps, and at least 2 British soldiers are coming with, just incase something bad happens.

"Excuse me, Edmund sir," a Victorian Soldier came up, "We're going to take you to the building now. If you will, please follow us."

Horn took front, Bagpipe following behind. Saileach was not with them, probably at the building already. She looked to have had a bit of a noble disposition, so it wasn't completely out of the realm of possibility that she went over to the building before them.

"You heard 'em boys and girls," Edmund began, waving his hand, "Let's go on a short walk aye?"

Stepping out of the lot and towards the parliament, the British officers were able to marvel and start seeing a bit more of the city, although there wasn't much to marvel for long. 

In the distance, there was skyscrapers, taller than anything in actual London. Presumably that's the financial district. 

He hoped he was right.

The streets didn't look large, but from his estimates, they were large enough

Within about 10 minutes, the group had reached the building. Guards stood outside it. They didn't look normal at all. But they said no word and paid nothing to them, other than some respect. 

This was Victoria, those were probably some Special forces that aren't well known to outsiders, especially since Horn and Bagpipe had nods of respect.

To the doors leading up to the Parliament, Saileach stood, still bearing that flag. She smiled politely and waved at them in equal manner, "Good evening esteemed guests of the British Army." 

She steps before the doors, "The nobles are awaiting us, so please, let's not keep them waiting." Edmund nodded, walking a little faster as the Victorian soldiers went up to start opening the doors to the Parliament. Stepping in, the British soldiers were already greeted with an immediate difference in culture, just by looking through the hallways.

The Victorian look was there of Old England, but there was dashes and immediate hints of regality and a touch of the stuff that somewhat bled of the old Aristocracy days.
