As I'm towelling off from my shower, Sophia internal phone starts ringing.
S- "it's your coast factory's manager on duty my master"
That's one of what might be called my red phones.
K- "answer it Sophia"
Manager-"Kilka sir, the police here are en force to close down the factory, our security forces cannot hold them for long, they have not been trained on how to use your latest weapons."
K-"well how many of them are there?"
Manager-"Well I see black uniforms as far as the eye can see from the security camera feed. They're about a click out. Every direction except the actual docks. They called ahead to say you bankrupted the country, and now they are confiscating it. What should I tell them?"
K- "Tell them I'm calling heavy air support in, and I'll be right there to see them personally if any of them survive. Keep the runways clear, get ready to restock the planes with fuel, bombs, missiles, and ammo."
Manager-"But sir, that's ille"
K- "DO IT OR I'LL PERSONALLY KILL YOU SLOWLY AND PAINFULLY! Sophia, hang up!"
S- "Call has been ended my master, it might interest you to know that police troops are also assaulting the national armory. The one that your cousin is deployed at. Also other attacks are being reported on the internet by civilians and some of your journalist colleagues. It is mostly by the police or gangsters on military troops headquarters. Most importantly, my lord, there is heavy shooting at the Presidential Mansion."
K- "Soph, help me get into my nanowire suit, deploy two of the Jupiter heavy bombers to defend the factory, and one to defend the armory. Kill anything in a black uniform. Defend the military and the factory!"
S-"Nothing at the Pesidential Mansion my lord?"
K-"Keep me appraised of the situation there as much as you can, now help me put my cermet armor on, and let's get to the Liger. I'm driving."
S-"Yes my master, the Jupiters have already wiped out with carpet bombimg most of the troops at your factory. The other one is almost at the armory. No information is forthcoming on the Presidential Mansion at this time"
K-"Then just keep me appraised of the situation, and hang tight, because I'm gonna ride the hell out of this trike."
VVVVVVVRRRRRROOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
K-" Soph, thunderbolt the rest of the area around the factory with the Jupiters, and give me a visual feed on the one at the armory on the headup display."
S-"The jupiters at the factory are out of bombs. The troops attacking it are hiding in the terrain. I cannot thunderbolt them. The armory is in an urban area, I cannot carpet bomb it or thunderbolt it without causing heavy noncombatant loses, however the soldiers there seem to be holding their own. Also you have an incoming call from the Vice President of the republic."
K- "Patch him through Sophes."
VP-"The police inform me that you just decimated the troops at your factory, Kilka. Look, I don't want your factory or your money. I just need your military trikes and any other armament you could spare me. The president has not been conducting his office to my satisfaction, so I aim to take over with the help of people like you, and your cousin. By the way, tell him if he gives me the mechanized armor, I'll spare his life. You guys can be my right hand men."
K-"Tell him yourself. I'm not your lackey; but I doubt he'll go for it. Sophia, end the call!"
S- "Transmission ended."
K-"Sophes send one of the Jupiters at the factory to the Presidential Mansion."
S-"My lord, it might interest you to know that the air force has scrambled fighters."
K-"Try to find out if they are loyalists or if they're in with the coup. Fly the Jupiters high. The can't take on the fighter jets; but the fighters can't hit them at maximum altitude. We're just using them for reconnaisance now. How many fighter jets do you think you can control without exceeding your RAM Sophia?"
S-"If I put the Jupiters in autopilot, maybe two, unless I actually have to fight on the ground. However, the air force troops seem to be friendly. The jet fighters cannot really do much to help us, as most of the fighting is now in heavily populated areas. News sources are now saying that the President has been evacuated, and is now seeking asylum in a foreign country. The jet fighters were escorting him north apparently, as he had to leave in a helicopter."
K-"Call up my cousin. We're gonna kill the VP."
VRRRRROOOOOOMMMM.
