Shock and Awe
#1
Kaaren, W. Kaljurand
0100 Hours - 12 Vintyr 1587


It was a cold night in Kaaren. The large, and mostly abandoned Lux Hotell stood as the largest building in the city. It had once been an important tool in raking in tourists from across Siora with its five-star rating and endless entertainment venues. Now, very few lights could be seen emanating from the windows. It was a sad specter of its former self, and had been since the outbreak of the Kaljuran Civil War. It was still a building that would be used to shape the history of Kaljurand forever. The Lux Hotell overlooked the West Kaljuran Military Command and stood at a distance of one and a half kilometers.

It just so happened that on this despicably cold night two men were posted on the penthouse balcony of the Lux. One man held a pair of thermal imaging binoculars and the other laid prone on the ground, supporting a rifle with his shoulder. Both men wore the black fatigues and burgundy berets of the infamous West Kaljuran Šokk Luure Komando. The man with the binoculars sported the rank insignia of a newly promoted Sergeant, and the sniper was wearing the insignia of a Junior Lieutenant and a name tape that said Raudsepp in bold white lettering. The Sergeant lowered the binoculars from his eyes, and turned to his superior. "Kuradi, sir, the cold bites hard tonight." The Lieutenant kept his eye in the scope and continued to scan the streets near the military building. "Hush now, Sergeant Lass. The General's convoy will be approaching any moment now." Sergeant Lass returned the binoculars to his eyes and followed the Lieutenant in scanning the streets.

It wasn't until about 0200 that a small military vehicle followed by a black limousine started slowly chugging down the road, just outside of the Military Command's perimeter wall. Sergeant Lass focused in on it and inhaled sharply. "There it is sir, at our three o'clock." Lieutenant Raudsepp rotated his rifle on its bi-pod ever so slightly until it lined up on the limo. Raudsepp had a perfect shot, just as soon as the limo rolled up to the guard shack and stopped. It did exactly that, the driver had been bribed to position the limo just so. The rear window rolled down, and the guard gave a crisp salute to the occupant. The man inside the limo leaned forward to hand the guard his papers, after returning his salute, and Raudsepp's opportunity became clear. He applied just the right amount of pressure to the trigger and the bullet leaped forward with a muffled crack. It sailed through the air and impacted on the passenger's right temple. The man collapsed and the driver backed out of the gate area as the guards took cover. Raudsepp took a second opportunity to fire on the driver, killing him as well.

Raudsepp stood up, and folded the bi-pod on his rifle up. He looked at Lass who had a slight grin on his face. "We need to go Sergeant. We've done what we needed to and now it's time to return for debrief." The grin faded from the Sergeant's face. "Yes sir."

West Kaljurand Military High Command
1230 Hours - 12 Vintyr 1587


West Kaljurand Military Command's conference room was small. It housed a round table with seven seats, a projector screen, and two small lamps that provided less than ample lighting. Currently two of the table's seats were unoccupied. The name placards in front of the chairs read KIRSIPUU and VALDMA. The man named Valdma currently stood in front of the projector screen. He looked at his fellow officers and a smile broke upon his face. "My compatriots, last night at 0204 General Edvin Kirsipuu was assassinated. The peace loving coward is dead, and now we can move forward with the plans we have been preparing under his nose for the past decade. The official story we will release is that he was killed by East Kaljuran agents using a Mordvanian purchased rifle. Of course we will allow the evidence of such to be exposed to the public. Our agents in the Šokk Luure Komando indeed did use a captured Mordvanian rifle to do the job. We will finally reunite our nation, and punish the terrorist bandits who pretend to lord over the East. Then we will crush Mordvania."
