OOC: Don't forget to check the Plato beach thread and where the enemy actually is folks. "Look!", cried the Vice President waiting an arm and pointy fingewr to the screen. The satellite images had updated and showed the monstrous Decepticon on the edge of a small community, and already people were running scared and small houses had been flattened. "We need a launch from those carrier immediately!", the VP turned and pointed at one of the assistants, "You! Get me the President on the line ASAP!"

Another comm officer found the red phone, and dialed the White House.
"Ma'am... The Vinson will be in Radio Range momentarily." said the Comm officer.
General Walker nodded then turned to the Vice President.
"Mr. Vice President... The Lincoln Battle Group has three usable warheads... If tha need be..." said Gen. Walker. "The Lincoln has one they can put on one of it's Tomcat's, the Submarine Ohio has a Trident, and the Destroyer Momsen has a Tomahawk as well." she added
The Radar officer spoke up as he saw the gunships come in range of his RADAR.
"Ma'am, Spectres inbound ETA three minutes." he said.
"Here come your butcher birds, General." said Walker to Lansing as she turned back to the screen.

(OOC: OK... moving this along...)
The satellite pictures showed multiple aircraft launch from the USS John C Stennis, once it was within safe operating range for it;'s F/A-18s.
Admiral Andersen from the Carl Vinson had been had ordrered full steam ahead to California, but were still some distance out.
The remaining seeker wing had shown up too.
"General... those are not our F-22s..." said General Walker to Lansing.
There was now another threat to all the US aircraft in the area... if the robots had any flight experience... they were in trouble.
Walker turned to her comm officer. "I want every flyboy in the area in the air within five minutes." she said, hinting at urgency. "I want every Tomcat and Raptor in the area to land, refuel and rearm... Air to Air setup." she added.
"Yes ma'am" she responded, then got to work on contacting every Airfield, Air station and whatever else she could get.
"And contact Lemoore... Code Red!" she added. The ensign nodded at the order.
"This is about to get ugly." she said, mostly to herself.
And they were still waiting on the President....

"Here comes the Praying part Mr. Vice President" General Lansing said as she took a seat at a monitor. She keyed up something on a keyboard and an Alert message flashed on her screen. "Im sending out a call to the other Branches near that Location" ++ Altech Coms to Nearby Branches in California ++
This is General Lansing This is an Order to send up any and all Autobots currently based to the battle near Plato beach. Support is needed. This is to take Top Priority.

"I've a feeling not even God can help us this time!", mumbled the Vice President s the events unfolded.
On the main screen they watched the attack on Locron, Rumble Prime making a stand with Shipwreck being knock of his feet. And worse yet one of the two Autobot leaders being crushed underfoot by the great hulking Decepticon making some turn their head in horror as he bravely fought until the end...

"We need that Rail Gun" Lara stated as she got up. "Its always darkest before the Dawn Mr. Vice President. And we don't give up." General Walker get that ship with the Rail Gun on the horn. If im not mistaken it could punch a hole clean through that behimoth." Lansing stated to Walker.

"Ma'am... All bases that answered are reporting fuel to scramble." said the COMM officer "And Lemoore is sending all of it's Rhinos, same status..." she added. "Good." responded General Walker, then she turned to General Lansing. "That destroyer is still on sea trials... so we can see that the gun is viable." she said. "Let me see if I can find where it is." She went to a computer and quickly got to the classified material she was looking for. *CLASSIFIED* USS Aries Zumwalt Class Destroyer Highly modified design to accomidate Naval Railgun Status: Active Assignment: USS Carl Vinson Sea trials- Hawaii *CLASSIFIED* "COM, get me the Vinson... that is where the Aries is." "Aye, Ma'am" said the com officer" Soon after Admiral Blake was on the screen. "Admiral Blake, General Walker here... we have a situation..." she said. "Yes... I have gotten some comm traffic... We're on our way." He responded. "Admiral... we need the Aries once she is within range for her Rail-Gun." she said. Admiral Blake took a second. "Give me the coordinates... I'll get the skipper of the Aries to get her fired up, so we can strike when we get in range." he said. "Unfortunately I can't let her steam ahead... she has to stay back and protected." he added. "I understand... We'll send them to you... and give you updates... although, once you are within view of the coastline... you may not need them..." she said. "Alright... Blake out" he said, before turning his head to obviously bark out orders. Gen. Walker was not sure if he fully understood the gravity of the situation... ================= OOC: here are pics en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zumwalt_class_destroyerwww.armybase.us/2009/02/bae-systems-awarded-navy-contract-for-electromagnetic-railgun/ That's the prototype, the one on the destroyer has a squared barrel that splits in four during powerup and creates the electro-rail... it hides under a long door in the deck to protect it from the sea. it is on a turret, and has about 60 degree up/down movement. description is all made up, and the Aries does not actually exist (The sister to the Aries is the Artemis, a very similar shipwith another Rail gun)

"Nice Work Walker. When and if they ask what the target is. Tell them. The whole world already knows that they exist. It would be best to show who is the true enemy." Lansing stated looking on her own monitor at the Stilite Data "Those guys are sure taking their time getting Optimus out. I hope they didn't run into to much trouble." Lara said in a low voice to herself. She may have spoke a little to loud though.

"I see you've been doing your research... the Aries and Artemis don't technically exist though..." she said... "The Artemis is actually the second of her type... The Aries being the first, and the Artemis is assigned to the Enterprise in the Atlantic." she continued. "They're top-secret and only for testing. The actual design will be more conventional as far as weapons."
"Oh, and don't worry Lansing... he'll know exactly what the target is..." responded Walker.
She kept seeing an occaisional fireball, knowing it was one of their aircraft... the chaos had caused them to lose track of how many downed aircraft their were. But she was pleased when the Hornets from the Stennis.
"Ma'am... I have several air wings inbound, ETA four minutes... the rest are taking off." said the comm officer.
"Very good... thank you." resonded Walker.
She turned to Lansing.
"That Ghost squadron of yours wouldn't happen to be in that group on the way... would they?" asked Walker to Lansing with a smirk, fully expecting an 'I don't know what you're talking about' answer.

(Okay, since I've been given charge of this RPG, I feel that I could post here. And if anyone's asking, this person is just a NPC)
Having gotten Major Douglas Winters' call, she soon went onto her own telephone and called the command center, where General Lansing was.

OOC: As I'm covering Speedway's characters until he's back, I'll cover his female character Lansing as well.
The vice President had his hand up to his mouth, dehydrated or dry mouth he was rubbing his lip anxiously at what was unfolding on the screen. before exploding, "Lansing this is getting way out of control out there! There are Decepticons everywhere! We ned to strike and strike now!"
"But what about the Autobots?"
"Collateral damage General..."
Lansing sound round, mouth ajar, "You can't be serious?!!"
"Somebody get me the President ASAP!"
"With all respect sir, you have NO authority!..."
"I have every authority General, you forget who funds the Altech? Pays for your weapons, your vehicles and technology to work work along side the Autobots and their kind??"
"Maam?", asked one of the controllers,
"Belay that order lieutenant!"
"Lansing I'm warning you!", scorched the VP. his voice rising but remaining a deep roar, "Interfere again and I'll have your badge! Now get me the president!"
As the situation grew and became more heated a telephone rung in the slowly silencing command room. "Er, telephone General...", reported a lieutenant commander.
"YES? Lansing...", shershouted down the phone..

OOC: I feel that Major Winters speaking should post here, since it'd probably complicate things if we were just posting in different threads
Major Winters, who was on the headset on his call to General Lansing, was shocked. He had never heard Lansing shout like that. She must have had some time on her hands. He then said 'Alright. It's Major Douglas Winters. I'm in the air with Blitzkat and heading towards Plato Beach. I've got air assets coming in, ETA about (looking at a timer) 5 minutes. What's the situation of Plato Beach, over'?

General Walker watched as the Vice President made his authority be known.
"Mr. Vice President... if I may." said Walker.
"The Aries will be within firing range just before the entirety of all operational attacker aircraft from the Pacific Fleet as well as the Western seaboard." she said. "And based on he data... the Rail gun should be able to put a hole through the hostile about the size of Air Force One." she said.
"I will however not be giving Admiral Blake the fire order until our larger operative is clear of the shot." she said, in a 'try me' tone.

"And how exactly do you propose to put a hole through all those Decepticons General?" asked the Vice President slightly ruffled, "We're not talking Decepticons the size of the one who just flew off on a rocket with a hold of an equally sized Autobot, we're talking smaller, faster ones who are constantly on the move!
We hit to strike and hit all of them, now! Autobot, Decepticon, it doesn't matter - they're as bad as each other!"
Lansing was sighing and rolling here eyes as she tried to answer the phone more calmy as it got more heated around her. "Lansing, the situation is - there are more Decepticons then there are Autobots out there Major, they're really taking a pounding, I don't know how much longer they can last!" informed the General.

Major Winters, went 'Alright. Me and Blitzkat will get there first and try and pick off as many Decepticons as we can, before the reinforcements arrive. Our reinforcements contain B-1B Lancers, A-10 Thunderbolts and F-15E Strike Eagles, so with hope, when they arrive, they can give the Decepticons something to think about. My ETA is about 1 minute. We should be able to get them hard. Out'.
As Major Winters flew in Blitzkat, towards Plato Beach, Blitzkat readied his weaponry.
