Vladimir Moskvitin, Russia lead diplomatic, representative, and ambassador to ICON was recalled to Moscow the day earlier. It was unusual for ambassadors to be recalled home from Toledo and given the attack on Arrakan, many weren't surprised by the Ambassador's leave. Moskvitin returned only 24 hours later, briefcase in hand with a look of pure intention on his face. He'd returned from Moscow with a mission, that much was clear. What that mission was however, was completely unclear to anyone who'd happened to cross his path when he entered the ICON complex. Moving straight to his own offices, he did not speak with anyone nor did he received any visitors to the Russian embassy offices. It wouldn't been until the scheduled Plenary Assembly meeting that anyone saw the ambassador again and when the floor was left open by the speaker, Moskvitin took to the podium. Though many believe it was to speak on the tragedy in Arrakan, his words would turn out to be highly surprising.

"Fellow delegates of the International Commonwealth of Nations, a great tragedy has been fallen the Drax people, a people for whom Russia has always been connect and of whom we've taken guardianship over. Another nuclear attack has now claimed the city of Arrakan, the once brilliant and sparkling capital of the Drax people, it has now been wiped off the face of the Earth and with it, a nuclear facility that has now doubled the destruction of the attack. The attack was calculated without mercy, eradicating millions while plunging millions more into a state of panic and fear. The Drax will be forced to live with this horror for generations to come as it is unclear now how far this problem has spread and for how long it will take to bring their lives back to so semblance of normalcy. However, as brother and friend to the Drax people, Russia pledges its unwavering and unending support for their people. We will work tirelessly to help bury the dead, heal the wounded and sick, rebuild their homes, and help them forward towards a better future. We graciously accept the aid provided by the H.E.A.R.T organization and will use every available manpower we have at our disposal to ensure the aid get to every Drax in need. However, above all our pledges and promises to the Drax people, above all other things we intend to do on their behalf, the most dire and the most important is bringing those who are behind this attack, to justice."

"Since the first attack on Trebizond, the international community has been led to believe that a Dominionist organization calling itself the Transcontinental Contingent Group has been behind the attacks. Fear has been incited as both this group, and the Dominion mastermind Konstantin Ganz Gassel, have been believed to be at large. We've created organizations to hunt them down, to find them and bring them to justice over crimes we've been made to believe they have committed. However, Russia is no longer willing to believe in this organizations nor in the belief that Konstantin Gassel remains alive. We, after much investigation following the first nuclear attack, have discovered the pattern with which exposes the true culprits of these crimes. We've pushed through the lies and misinformation given to the international community we have "connected the dots" as it were, and we are fully prepared now, more than ever, to address the international community with our findings in this, our Arrakan Declaration."

"The attacks have been, thus far, on the CMESS capital of Trebizond, the Porcuian administered city of Savannah, and the Drax capital of Arrakan under the Custodianship of the Russian Empire. CMESS, Porcu, and Russia....from the causal look inward there is seemingly nothing, save for a few economic agreements between Russia and Porcu, that links all three nations together. Seemingly there is nothing to suggest a pattern of attack and a reason behind why these three nations were chosen. However, upon closer examination not only is there a single linking factor between the CMESS, Porcu, and Russia that creates a pattern for these attacks, but it is this same factor that points to others that will undoubtedly be attacks for this same reason, nations of whose representatives sit here today. The Crusade on Cologne is the defining event which links the CMESS, Porcu, and Russia together, creating a pattern of attack for these unforgivable acts of terrorism. Each nation, in their own capacity, participated in the defense of Cologne against the aggressors and now are paying the price for their participation through the blood of the innocent. However, these attacks for much further than just the death of millions, and the consequences of these attacks have even further ramifications."

"The attack on Trebizond has weakened the CMESS however, more so, it has deteriorated negotiations between the CMESS and Porcu over disputed territory in Anatolia. This deterioration could bring the two states to war, creating a crippling effect for both nations as well as the economic and diplomatic security of Europe. Savannah's destruction has disrupted trade of vital goods from the Americas to Europe, having an equally devastating effect on the economic stability of Europe. Finally, the destruction of Arrakan has led to the destruction of the Jupiter Power facility, a facility the Russian Empire had all intentions of restarting, sending clean and uninterrupted power back to much of Eastern Europe. Not only this but it has hampered our ability to act abroad, more specifically, with securing the territory of Panama which is the rightful territory of the Russian Empire."

"With all this cause and effect, it leaves only one question that remains. Who would benefit from the causes and effects of these attacks. Who would wish to do the CMESS, Porcu, and Russia harm for their participation in the Crusade of Cologne. Russia is confident it has answered this question with the only viable solution, the Genesisian Church and its allies, the Genesisian States. They perpetrated the crimes committed in Cologne and are among those that would gain the most from a weaken CMESS, Porcu and Russia. In Europe, this weakness would strengthen their position in Rome as well as make their allies, the Teutonic Knights an unquestonable superpower in the region. In the Americas, the Catholic state of El Dejarbo has already falsified election results to further keep Russia from gaining Panama although clearly, the referendum held shows Panama's support for returning to the Empire. With this attack it is now unclear whether or not Russia can defend Panama from this Catholic incursion by El Dejarbo."

"In conclusion, the Russian Empire demands that the international community see these attacks for what they really are. We must not allow the disinformation given to us by the Catholics to cloud our judgement. We have laid out the evidence, we've connect the dots, surely we as a united front can stand against this vile deception. We call upon the international community to recognize Panama as a territory of the Russian Empire, for our colleagues in the Presidium to work with us on creating sanctions against all Catholic States, and for the Special Prosecutor to forgo any further investigations into actors we do not believe exist and instead, bring about formal charges against Pope Castillo for whom we believe to be the true mastermind of these crimes."

"This is an outrageous accusation!" Father Giovanni Abatangelo, the Vatican's assigned observer of ICON, roared as he shot up out of his seat. "Nuclear weapons are forbidden by papal bull. Anyone who even dares store such devices is excommunicated from the Church. We would never condone their use. Does the Vatican need to remind Russia of the rogue heretical terrorist group the Knights Hospitaller that used nuclear weapons during the Crusade and attempted to assassinate the Holy Father? Perhaps ICON would be better served by forming a task force to send to Antarctica and wipe them out, since it's clear that this TCG is either a cover or an ally of theirs as the exact same tactics are being used. I would also ask ICON to consider Russia to be considered biased and operating with an agenda. Pope Castillo has condemned the attacks and condemned to TCG and called for nuclear disarmament. Does that sound like a 'criminal' to you?

"ICON would do well to ignore Russia's baseless lies."

"Indeed," agreed the El Dejarboan representative, Joze Santiago. "Just because Russia currently holds tense relations with my country does not mean one should jump to ridiculous conspiracy theories. El Dejarbo urges caution against jumping to conclusions based on circumstantial 'evidence.' Furthermore I would add that El Dejarbo points at Russia as being more suspect of manipulating the election results in Panama, as the current turnout does not benefit my country in the least and the exit poll numbers do not match the election numbers. Russia is hardly credible to make any accusations."

Kiru Tao's delegate, Hakamichu Akuburu stepped into the discussion. "Please, Kiru Tao requests that we maintain cool heads and allow all available evidence to be scrutinized. My country, as you all know, started the international Task Force Oleon with contributions from many of you to expand its reach and scope. Currently it is in Constantinople, investigating the escape of Konstantin Ganz Gassel from its prison complex. Despite Russia's skepticism on his survival, Kasnyia's intelligence has provided significant evidence that Gassel indeed survived the prison riot and escaped. We are prepared to provide that evidence to ICON for review if need be. There is no reason to accuse other countries of any malfeasance because of tense international relations."

Hakar Ohmirzi was merely glaring at the Porcuian delegate through the entire discussion, barely paying any attention to what was being said. His own government already had its own ideas of what was going on and it ranked distinctly Porcuian.

OOC- Ooooh, pass the popcorn! :D

IC-

Alexanderhaven joins its Orthodox brothers in its condemnation of the Genesian Church and backs its proposal.

---

Cologne must review the evidence before it makes an opinion.

---

Kasnyia would like to second Kiru Tao's voice of reason in this matter.

The DCA believes Russia nuked Arrakan itself in order to make this blatant colonialist play against Panama. We join the Genesian Church and El Dejarbo in their condemnation of this blatant false flag operation.

As Moskvitin made the Russian declaration, Jurgen von Wahl's mouth assumed a slight smile and his eye a predatory glint. The assault on Arrakan was truely a vicious crime, but the Russians had turned the tragedy into opporunity. The Genesian Catholic Church was a dangerous geopolitical presence, no friend of the Baltic Germans, and the time had come to eliminate it as a source of internal dissent.

After hearing the responses made by other nations, Wahl stood up to address the Plenary Assembly of the International Commonwealth of Nations.

"Honorable lords," he began, "The stakeholders of the Baltic State applaud the Russian Empire for taking this brave stance. We remember that many of our own kinsmen still honorably serve the Russian Empire, and this show of courage demonstrates the reasons for such loyalty. While we been loathe to say so until we found more evidence, the investigations of the Baltic State have lead us to the same conclusions as those reached by Russia. All evidence suggests that the Genesian Catholic Church is directly responsible for the recent series of nuclear attacks, whether acting alone or in concert with the known criminal tribe of Dominagesques. No more can the nations of the world stay silent. The innocent victims of the attacks on Trebizond, Savannah, and Arrakan join the innocent Germans of Cologne as victims of the racial tuberculosis known as Genesian Catholicism.

"The time for words and thoughts is past. The time for action is now. The presence of Genesian Catholic subversion within the Baltic State has been tolerated for too long. The War Council of the Baltic State, under the presidency of the honorable Lord Alexander Wrangel, declares a Kulturkampf against the Genesian Catholic Church. In order to prosecute this struggle, the following provisions will be in effect:

1. The Colognian Catholic Church within the Baltic State is hereby reclassified as the German Catholic Church. The German Catholic Church will be a tolerated and legal religion within the Baltic State.
2. The Genesian Catholic Church within the Baltic State is hereby liquidated and all properties are to be converted to the possession of the Baltic State.
3. Free Genesian Catholics within the Baltic State who are not classified as undesirable will have a period of one month to migrate from the Baltic State or formally convert to another religion. Any such conversion must be registered with the Department of Religion to be effective.
4. No Genesian Catholic who migrates out of the Baltic State may transport property. All such property will be forfeited to the Baltic State.
5. At the end of the one month grace period, a census will be taken. If deemed necessary, the Department of Religion will lease former Genesian Catholic property for use by the German Catholic Church at privileged rates.
6. No Genesian Catholic may use the public roads or the ports of the Baltic State.
7. Genesian Catholics classified as undesirable such as criminals, Genesian clergy, Marxists, and others as deemed by the War Council, will be restricted from migrating or converting.
8. Serf-holders are empowered to effect religious conversion for any serfs under their authority.
9. At the end of the one month grace period, any remaining Genesian Catholics within the bounds of the Baltic State will be placed in protective custody. Such Genesian Catholics, following the one month grace period, will only be allowed the right of migration in one-to-one exchanges in which another state provides a German migrant in exchange for every Genesian migrant provided by the Baltic State.
10. The public practice of Genesian Catholicism is forbidden under pain of death.

"The time has come when all must recognize that the German and the Genesian cannot coexist within the same State. There must be no confusion about what must be done. This is not a mere political or cultural conflict. This is not a debate in which two sides can come to mutual agreement. This is a struggle between two ideologies, one against the other. This is a war of annihilation."

As the chamber became silent, Wahl sat back down.

Johan Speck, the newly appointed Austrian representative to ICON, remained silent at Wahl's inflammatory speech. While Speck had talked to his predecessor von Leeb only breifly, much of their conversation had been on the Baltic Germans and their fiery representative. It was now apparent to Speck why von Leeb disliked Jurgen von Wahl so deeply - the man was insane!

It was no secret that the new Austrian state was pro-German nationalist and anti-Genesisian Catholicism. However, it was also widely known that the Austrian-Baltic feud still dominated relations between both countries even after the coup inside Vienna; consequently, the Austrian government still distrusted Baltic German ambition as a challenge to their own. Had Wahl's statement not been so audacious, Speck would have agreed, but the accusations levied against the Genesisians was, if anything, misplaced.

The TCG was undoubtedly the true culprit behind the attacks and Speck almost laughed at the sheer ineptitude and pettiness of the Russians and Baltic Germans. While it was Austria's relations with the former that stayed Speck's hand for now (Austria desperately wished for a positive Vienna-Moscow relationship), he inconspicuously dialed his phone and called the Ministry of War.

"Its Speck, I need all the evidence we have on the TCG's role in the bombings sent to me NOW."

"Russia applauds both the Baltic State as well as Cologne for recognizing the truth as we have discovered it. Similar actions taken by the Baltic Germans were taken in Russia after the war in Cologne, and we see no reason why they should not be taken elsewhere. For too long we, the international community, have given a "free pass" to the Papacy of Rome because we've been too weak to truly define it for what it is, instead of what it wishes us to perceive it as. Indeed, the honorable representative from the Vatican makes a good point that nuclear weapons were made during the War in Cologne. Curious that we should blame this Knights Hospitaller when not one agent was captured during the war and put to trial for their crimes. Surely if the Catholic Church could exhaust the resources of its allies to capture a single man in Cologne, they could have done the same in capturing at least on of these Knights Hospitaller. Yet here we stand, with only the word of the church and a few bits and pieces of evidence that suggest their involve, evidence that could have easily been fabricated by the church to further their own agenda!"

"Now Russia realizes the truth can be difficult at times. There are many we understand will not wish to take it for what it is. However, we would remind this august international body that this is not the first time the Catholic Church has attempted to manipulate international affairs for their own purposes. Need I remind anyone of history itself, namely the Roman war of succession. Was it not the Catholic Church that attempt to install their own puppet Emperor so that the Roman Empire would fall under their allegiance? Did the international community of the time not fight a war against such actions, defeat the Church and impose sanctions and restrictions accordingly? Why then, can a world without ICON do so much for international peace when now, with this august body, we can do so little? We should be ashamed of ourselves that we allowed the Catholic Church and its allies to invade a sovereign country, kidnap its sovereign leader, and murder him for no reason that would hold up in a court of law and yet now, with evidence before us that is, at the very least, as much cause for action now as the Church and its allies had then, when they invaded Cologne; Shrink at our responsibility to act and protect world peace?"

"Russia will no longer stand by and allow injustice to be perpetrated while not pay for their actions. We allowed it after Dominion Wars and shamefully, after the Cologne War. There must be a line draw in the sand and that time for that line is now! Russia refuses to allow this charade of international justice to continue. Either ICON will take on the responsibilities it so professes to cherish or Russia will do so for it and will gladly welcome any nation that wishes to follow us. The era of injustice ushered in by the World Military Dominion and whose mantle has obviously been taken up by the Genesisian Catholic Church must come to an end and will come to an end, either by the just hand of the international community or of Russia."

__________________________________________________________

"While the Federation of United African nations recognizes that deep resentment held by the Russian Empire and the Genesisian States for past affairs, affairs which indeed should have had harsher consequences levied by the international community, we must echo sentiments shared by the states of Kiru Tao and others" Ambassador Alexander Keikura stated after Russia's latest fiery speech. "There is a lot of information out there that the international community as a whole must digest before we can place the blame on any one nation, nations, or international organization. We must stress both caution as well as patience while this information is properly research, evidence properly gathered, and debates had. If we do not allow these processes to have their time then we risk punishment to the wrong person or persons while the true criminals remain at large. With this said, we can however, agree with the Russian Empire on one point. We, of the international community, have failed on multiple occasions to take action when it was most apparent we do so. We have allow instances of injustice to go unpunished and this is a true crime."

"This cannot be allowed to be the precedent of this august body less we lose all credibility and all purpose for this organization."

Father Giovanni Abatangelo looked absolutely infuriated. "No Hospitaller was captured because every one of their assassins were killed, so unless you are interested in bones and desecrating graves, a living Hospitaller is a bit out of the question. Nevertheless, there was security footage taken of their assault on the Pope's chambers, so we can provide that if ICON feels up to viewing it; I must caution that it's quite graphic. I also find Russia's skepticism arbitrary and hypocritical. Perhaps I may be wrong, but I seem to recall your troops followed the same wild goose hunts that ours did when the Hospitallers were broadcasting their communications. Did you not accumulate a number of clues same as us that implicated the rogue, heretical order of knights?

"Your declaration here on this floor is appalling and disgusting. Because you lost a war and are not receiving the things your nation wants, you're concocting this hare brained conspiracy theory so you can attempt to have ICON bully around Catholic nations while real terrorists run loose in Antarctica and who knows where else. The Vatican thanks El Dejarbo, Kiru Tao, Kasnyia, Austria, and the Federation of United Africa for their level-headed and scrutinized approach to these baseless accusations from Russia."

"I feel things are becoming rather heated in this chamber," Delegate Hakamichu stated, steepling his fingers before him, "so Kiru Tao motions for this issue to be set aside until further evidence can be accumulated. So far, the evidence Russia has accumulated Kiru Tao finds to be mostly circumstantial with nothing substantial provided and thus we feel it would set a dangerous precedent if ICON were to act on it without anything that further supported Russia's conclusion. Yes, it was unfortunate that ICON could not intervene during the Crusade, but unless we find evidence further than circumstance we feel that it would be unwise for ICON to commit to any action against the religion and nation states accused. Russia would do well to remind itself to hold to caution lest it become the very thing it claims to be standing against."

"So the Church has video footage of the attempted assassination, but none of the trial of the antipope!?" The Confederate delegate roared. "We know not of the perpetrators of this heinous act, but the Roman Catholics have proven to be untrustworthy. They blame black magic and witchcraft, and they are not held responsible? We join Russia in the condemnation, even if we do not accuse the Pope of the attacks."

The Minister from Brandenburg stayed mostly to himself. He predecessor had been sacked for his inflammatory remarks, he would not. The Margraviate needed to repair relations with Porcu, and a united front against Rome could secure that. He would wait for Porcuian response.

The Louisianan delegate condemned the Russian accusations: "People of ICON, this organization is dedicated to international peace and solidarity. Allow more evidence to come to light before we condemn anyone. We agree with Kiru Tao's stance, but the Russian actions in Panama are highly suspect.

ICON's in-house teleivison and radio broadcaster, Commonwealth Affairs Public Telecast Access Network (CAPTAN) had, like every time since the founding of ICON, shown the Plenary session live across the world. They couldn't have known what the Russian delegation would say.

They also couldn't know who'd be watching other than the usual political news junkies and the like.

The South African smiled to himself. True, he had already taken credit for the bombings. But to see the Russians take obvious advantage of the situation against the Genesians, he couldn't help himself. Both Russia and the Genesian Church were pillars of the old order. To have them fight amongst themselves was a boon that they couldn't very well ignore.

"Never stop the enemy when he's making a mistake..."

He made a few calls. It was time to help bolster Russia's case....

"The State of Quaon, as ally to Russia and protector of West Draxis, voices its solidarity with the Drax people in light of this unspeakable tragedy. We offer all possible aid to our brothers in East Draxis, and offer prayers for the souls of those lost in Arrakan. While our government has not yet been satisfied as to the guilt of the Genesian Catholic Church, they remain the prime suspect in this investigation. Our government remains committed to the principles of secularism and religious freedom, but will not allow such a commitment to protect the Genesian Church from the criticism that it deserves. For centuries, the Church has operated as a sort of international fifth column, subverting the wills of kings and peoples. The Church functions as a criminal and terroristic organization, using the threat of naked force to spread its backwards and repressive creed. It is time for the peoples of the world to reject once and for all the despotism of the Roman Papacy.

"So is this what ICON is to ultimately become, a tool for Russia to bully her enemies?" Father Giovanni Abatangelo asked with contempt. "If ICON is content with imagined conspiracies and conjecture, then I see no reason for the Vatican to consider taking this body seriously. I shall take my leave of this place, this... den of sinners, and I will inform the Pope himself of what has transpired here. While I thank those nations who have voiced reason, it is clear to me that there are not enough of them to sway the rest to common sense. If ICON isn't interested in an actual investigation of the attacks, perhaps the Vatican will launch its own to uncover the true culprits."

He turned then and left the chamber.

"I don't believe there is anyone on this international body that would be willing to leave the investigation of these attacks to the investigators of the Catholic Church " the Russian Ambassador said abruptly. "After all, let us not forget that it was the Catholic Church who through very little investigation and using less than credibly evidence, tried and convicted an innocent man before burning his body at the stake. What civilized country burns an innocent man at the stake, what civilized country burns a man at the stake period I ask you?"

"None and while Russia is grateful to those nations that have at least given some credence to our own investigation and findings, we remain greatly discouraged that the international community as a whole remains inept to react. Must we allow the Catholics to bomb another city, must we wait for them to kidnap, convict, and murder another national leader? We cannot allow more tragedy to strike, and I sure you that these criminals will strike again, before we act. Our detractors and critics already believe that ICON is a bureaucratically choked morass, that we are doomed to ultimately fail in our missions to keep international security and peace. However, this does not have to be the case, we can use this event as a true rallying cry to act and show the world that international unity can exist for the greater good of all humankind."

___________________________________________

"While Russia may sit on the presidium, it in no way dictates the course that this international body" Ambassador Keikura stated plainly. "Yes, due to its past reputation, the Genesisian Papacy and world-wide church organization as a whole has shown to be a belligerent force that has committed many heinous crimes in the name of faith. However, the Church has also done a great deal of community service to thousands of communities world-wide. While the Federation may personally feel this does not excuse the crimes it has committed, it nevertheless shows that the organization is not inherently evil, as the Russian Empire seems intent on painting it."

"The evidence that has been presented to this body, while compelling as it may appear, is in fact more circumstantial than it is concrete. Russia has provided nothing in the way of physical evidence to support its claims. If this body is to take these accusations against the Genesisian Church seriously, we must have evidence. To convict the Church on these accusations alone would make this august international body no better than the very church itself as we would doom them just as they doom the Pope of Cologne on little more than pure hatred for his faith."

"Work is the curse of the drinking classes."

Head Representative Marcus Valerius Flaccus Marslavicus had remained silent and still while the initial barbs were traded. The Russians were shrewd, he had always known that, but he was surprised to see them so animated. The Arrakan attack had struck a nerve, without a doubt. It was when the Vatican's representatives stormed out of the Assembly chamber that the Porcuian raised his hand and awaited confirmation from the Speaker.

"To begin, I would like to remind this august body that the TCG has already claimed direct responsibility for the attack on Trebizond and the striking similarity between the nuclear strikes against the three cities strongly suggests, at least to my government, that the TCG is also responsible for the attacks on Savannah and Arrakan.

"The Republic wishes to voice is skepticism at the accusations forwarded by our Russian colleagues towards the Vatican and the Genesisian Church. We hold no approval of the Church and her agents - we remember well the panic, chaos, and terror inflicted upon the innocents of Porcu by the Teutonic Knights and their biological weapon - but the evidence presented thus far is not conclusive. The Republic agrees with our Russian colleague that the Vatican and her allies have a great deal to gain by the infliction of pain and destruction on Russia and Porcu, and we are even prepared to join our colleagues in a general denunciation of the Church. However, we cannot join the Empire and support the Arrakan Declaration.

"The Republic seconds the motion forwarded by our respected colleagues from Kiru Tao and hopes that the memberstates of ICON will turn their focus and attention to advancing the efforts of investigative groups such as the Task Force Oleon."
