Debriefing of Captain Anthony Milo - Archived Version
OSI Central Offices
1604 - 31/5/2015

Hogarth: Please describe what happened after that.
Milo: Gunship 4 caught sight of the target at Delta 12. My unit...
Hogarth: The Fourth Rapid Reaction Company.
Milo: Yes. The Fourth has two parts. The Knightmare Section which is led by Captain Soresi and the Air Cavalry Section which I lead. Both Sections were mobilised but mine was able to reach the target first.
Hogarth: What state was the target in at that time?
Milo: It had been hit several times by Gunship 4's ventral machinegun and crashed into a building site just after my unit's transports arrived. My men rappelled down and subdued the two men in the front seats.
Hogarth: Please identify them from these pictures.
Milo: These two.
Hogarth: For the record, Captain Milo has identified Naoto Stadtfeld and Nagito Sansa.
Milo: Stadtfeld? Is he related to the Ambassador?
Hogarth: Irrelevant. Continue with your report.
Milo: All right. After the men in the cab were subdued, I received a communication from Command stating that the truck contained sensitive material and that I was to return it to the custody of General Bartley Asprius as soon as possible. Command also mentioned that I was to be receiving reinforcements.
Hogarth: Reinforcements?
Milo: Two OSI Tactical Teams. And...
Hogarth: And?
Milo: And a child. Aged about thirteen.
Hogarth: A child?
Milo: He was a part of the OSI Tactical Teams. He was introduced as Special Agent Halliburton.
Hogarth: Are you sure?
Milo: It was really weird. He was only a kid and quite a scrawny one at that but those OSI troopers obeyed him like he was a four star general. And those OSI guys looked like ex-SAS.
Hogarth: Continue your report, Captain.
Milo: Sorry sir. The OSI teams brought a CV-11 Mule to pick up the truck's cargo...
Hogarth: Describe.
Milo: Three metres wide and about half that tall. Kind of looked like half of an old fashioned sea mine.
Hogarth: Continue.
Milo: When we tried to load the cargo into the Mule, the capsule split open. None of my men touched any of the controls or any other part of the capsule other than the transportation hooks. I can vouch for all of my men...
Hogarth: Continue.
Milo: Well, here is the strange thing. In the briefing, we were told that the terrorists had stolen samples of some sort of nerve agent. But instead, the capsule contained a girl.
Hogarth: A girl?
Milo: About seventeen. Green hair and golden eyes. She wore a prison jumpsuit complete with restraints.
Hogarth: What happened after that?
Milo: The OSI Teams started panicking. They ordered a XOO order on the whole of Shinjuku District. [note: XOO order is the utter extermination of an area's population. Normal for accidental release of biological agents or, in this case, when there may be witnesses to C.C.'s attempted escape] Then they grabbed the girl and tried to get her into the chopper. But one of the OSI men sort of seized up. His eyes glazed over and he began trembling. Then he started screaming. It was hard to make it out but he seemed to be talking about some sort of failed operation in Patagonia. Kept on telling "Peter" that he was sorry.
Hogarth: Did he mention anything else about this failed op?
Milo: I'm not sure. He said "Geass Order" two or three times but I'm not sure what he was referring to. Anyway, this was when things got even more weird.
Hogarth: Elaborate.
Milo: Well, you know this Rolo kid? One moment, he's standing off to one side. Then the OSI man is lying on the ground with two bullets to the head and Rolo is standing behind him, holding the Commando's own pistol. We didn't even hear gunshots or anything. It was like I was watching a movie and it had just glitched out part of it. Never saw a stranger thing in my life.
Hogarth: Indeed. Then?
Milo: Sorry. Then the OSI Tactical Teams loaded the girl into their chopper and disappeared. We radioed command to ask where our chopper was and they said it was engaged in the XOO order. We were ordered to hold position until transports could arrive. But instead, another four OSI Tactical Teams arrived and ordered us all to come with them.
Hogarth: I see. You are dismissed, Captain.
Milo: Sir? Can I just ask where this facility is and when I will be able to return to Fort Elizabeth?
Hogarth: Classified, Captain. You will be released in due course.
Milo: All right. Thank you, sir.
[door closes]
Hogarth: He saw too much. We can't afford to let anyone know about C.C. this soon.
[Retracted]: [over intercom] Indeed. Destroy Captain Milo's unit and give the bodies to Asprius. I'm sure he would appreciate it for his little Code R project now that he has C.C. back.
Hogarth: Yes sir.
[Retracted]: And start closing up shop. Our business in Japan is over.
[door opens]
Agent McCryle: Sir!
[Retracted]: What is it?
Agent McCryle: We've just got word. Empress Marianne has been assassinated!
[Retracted]: That fool! What was he thinking! I...

Worst Peacetime Non-Natural Disasters

(1) The Shinjuku Poison Gas Attack
Date: 31 March 2015
Number killed: 12,419
Number wounded (sickened): 205,138
Perpetrators: Kōzuki Faction of the Japanese Independence Movement/Britannian Army
Facts:
- There is a great deal of confusion as to who released the deadly Sarin Gas into Shinjuku district. Britannian Army officials claim that the gas was stolen several hours before the bombing and then released by terrorists from the Kōzuki Faction but Japanese forensic experts claim that the canister found in Shinjuku was inappropriate for holding gas. Moreover the spread of the gas suggest it was dispersed from Britannian helicopters.
- Much of Tokyo had to be evacuated as a result of the gas and almost a hundred people died from trampling and motor accidents in their attempts to flee
- Britannian terror experts speculate that the gas attack was in fact a diversion used to sow the chaos necessary to infiltrate the Knight of Six's command post and assassinate her. Others claim it was designed to mask the massed casualties Britannian knightmare units inflicted on Japanese civilians during their attempt to secure the terrorist vehicle.

Internal log of unit RPI-733 Gottwald, Jeremiah
1521 - 31/3/15

"To all Britannian Military Personnel actively serving in Japan, this is your commander: Field Marshal Marianne vi Britannia, Knight of Six and Empress of the Holy Britannian Empire. All combat formations are to leave Japanese territory at once. There is to be no destruction of Japanese property, nor any violence against Japanese civilians. I repeat: all active combat formations are to return to Hawaii post haste and to never set foot in Japan again. This is a Para Level 0 Order."

"My lady! What is the meaning of this?"

"Jeremiah?"

"My lady! Are you under duress? Please! I can be at the G-1 within two minutes..."

"'My children are perfectly well behaved'."

"What!"

There is soft laughter.

"My dear Jeremiah. Do you not remember our agreed non coercion signal?"

"Of course My Lady."

"It had to be something I would never normally say."

More soft laughter.

"Lelouch and Nunna would be so mad if they found out about that."

"My Lady?"

"Yes, Jeremiah?"

"I must ask what is your reasoning behind this withdrawal?"

"I assure you, Jeremiah, that this order is of the highest possible importance. Please, carry it out with the vigour and speed I have come to expect from you."

"Yes, My Lady!"

"And one more thing."

"Yes?"

"I..."

There are gunshots.

"My Lady!"

There is a whirr, commonly associated with an Yggdrasil Drive being tasked over capacity.

"Lord Jeremiah!"

"I don't have time for you, David. Lady Marianne is in peril!"

"I know! I am in the G-1."

"Is she all right?"

"The blast doors to the command centre are all closed. We need a few minutes to bore through."

"She could be bleeding out as we speak! We must get to her!"

"Hello?"

The voice on the radio is languid and mocking.

"Identify yourself!"

"I am the man who just put two bullets through the Knight of Six's skull."

"No! It can't be!"

"Some Knight of Honour you are, Lord Jeremiah."

There is a roar of rage.

"Who are you?"

There is laughter, cold and cruel.

"I am... Zero."

Britannia withdraws from Japan - Sakuradite shortages in the Empire seem likely

Despite Britannian public outrage at the assassination of Empress Marianne, the Eleventh Army Corps has continued its withdrawal from Japan.
According to Britannian units stationed in Tokyo, the late Empress ordered the retreat shortly before her death by the hands of Japanese nationalists who opposed the presence of Britannian Army units on Japanese soil. Critics accuse the dead Field Marshal (who also held the title of Knight of Six and was the Tenth Imperial Consort) of caving into the terrorist demands however her unique military rank means her orders can only be countermanded by the Emperor himself and Charles zi Britannia has been notably absent from public affairs over the last few years. Britannia's over-reliance on one autocrat appears to have back-fired in this case as even Prime Minister Weinberg lacks the authority to order the Eleventh back into Japan. On the ground, original reluctance to retreat has been replaced by near panic due to the actions of Margrave Jeremiah Gottwald, Lady Marianne's Knight of Honour. When he discovered that a unit in Nagasaki was not making plans to withdraw, he branded them as deserters and, when they attempted to argue, attacked them in person. Despite numerous accusations of mental instability from the death of his mentor, Lord Gottwald's infamous knightmare capabilities seemed to be intact as he systematically destroyed all twelve of the "mutinous" unit with only minimal damage to his own machine. Soon afterward, plans for withdrawal were accelerated and the last combat formations are expected to leave within the week.
This rapid retreat spells disaster for Britannia as its economy consumes well over 400,000 tons of Sakuradite ore each day, 82% of which comes from Japan. Without the protection of the Britannian Army, civilian businesses are fleeing the nation and anti-Britannian political movements are gaining power in both houses of the Japanese National Diet. The leader of the main pro-Britannian party and major part of the ruling coalition, Prime Minister Sawasaki, is under severe pressure to resign after it was discovered he authorised the Britannian counter-terrorism operation in Shinjuku, an operation which left more than 10,000 Japanese civilians dead and sickened 200,000 more. With the national consensus firmly against Britannia, the Empire may see its flow of sakuradite slow to a trickle over the next few months; a harsh economic reality that threatens Britannia's entire manufacturing and electronics industry.

Jake!
It's been a while since we last talked but I hope you haven't forgotten our tour in Area Nine together. I know that Nine girl doesn't. Ha! Seriously though, I came to you because the situation in Egypt is getting dire. General Alex doesn't want to admit it but those new Panzer Hummels are ripping us apart. His hesitation is kind of understandable: General Williams tried to say the same thing and was demoted three stars for his trouble. With the sakuradite shortages at home, the government wants military victory as a distraction but we can't give them victories without more energy fillers. Vicious circle.
Those Hummels are your worst nightmare in the open desert so we try and fight in the mountains or in the cities. It means we aren't shot down in a few seconds but that terrain is not exactly ideal for fuel efficiency and, to be perfectly honest, Command has put far too much faith in knightmares these past few years. Our regular armour and air force capacity is still tailing the Euries by a significant margin so unless you can figure out a way to wrangle us more sakuradite, we can expect to see all of Africa under EU colours by New Years.
As we are friends, I hope you'll take it to heart.

BBC News Report - Aired on 'Radio Pendragon' 23/10/15

Marlow Station, Area Seven, has been attacked by Seven Terrorists of the Argentinean People's Army. Marlow Station is the one of the largest sakuradite mines in the Empire and reports suggest that production may be halted for several weeks. Terrorists managed to destroy two of the three main mine shafts, trapping nine Britannians and several dozen Sevens in the mines. Another twelve Britannian civilians were killed along with the station's compliment of forty soldiers. A lightning strike by SAS operatives was able to reclaim the facility after several hours but the Sevens inflicted serious structural damage on the delicate mining equipment required to extract the volatile mineral. Commander Jameson had this to say:
"The terrorists were armed with EU weapons and used tactics reminiscent of EU Kommandos. It is our belief that they received training and supplies from our enemies and that this attack was a violent ploy against Britannia by the European Special Operations Bureau. MI6 agrees with our analysis. We urge the public to remain calm and remember the Britannians who were killed in this underhand and deceitful attack. To our boys fighting in Africa, we send our deepest thanks and hope that you can bring those Euro bastards to justice."

Die Zeit - Editorial 25/10/15

I suppose it is too much to ask Britannians to understand basic arithmetic. Is twenty one a bigger number than three hundred and twelve? Or twelve thousand, four hundred and nineteen? Your average Britannian would not know what those numbers mean. But the people of Lisbon know the first very well and the people of Tokyo will not forget the second. And they will not forget because that is the number of innocent lives Britannia has as carelessly stolen. St Francesco Hospital, 3-8-12. Shinjuku District, 31-3-15. Terrible tragedies perpetrated by the Britannian Military and approved by the House of Lords.
Do not misunderstand me. I do not wish to say that those twenty one Britannian civilian lives were worthless, even if they belonged to corrupt slave drivers who used their nation's racism to employ Argentineans at almost a tenth of a living wage. But Britannia needs to put things in perspective before it cries foul. More likely they are concerned by the drop in sakuradite production. Yesterday, Britannian Pound slipped to 0.71 of a Euro and 10.3 Yuan. Hyperinflation is becoming almost inevitable. I would celebrate if it didn't mean even more suffering for the countless millions still living beneath Britannia's yoke. For now, I will only pray.

The Third Man: an Autobiography of Clovis la Britannia
United Publishing House, Paris Office

I was watching the riots when the telephone rang. It was Guinevere.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Its Thomas Weinberg's fault." she spoke in that abrupt way of hers, not ever bothering to introduce herself.
"I don't see why Prime Minister..."
"It's the rationing. He should just open up the reserves and order a reinvasion of Japan."
I sighed. She had this way of seeing things. Sometimes it allowed her to notice things other people would take for granted but other times, it was almost childlike.
"Lady Marianne issued a Para Level 0 order. Only our father..."
"Our father has been missing for months. I think it is time we decided a new Emperor."
I was horrified. What she was suggesting was beyond court intrigue or Royal one-up-man ship. It was treason, plain and simple.
"Guinevere..."
"My Royal Guard is going out to the House of Lords. Carine and Thaddeus are already there."
Thing were spiralling out of control faster than I could have imagined. Royal Guard units in the House of Lords? That defiled one of Britannia's most ancient laws: the Magna Carta. Guinevere could not really think she could march in and force the nobility to obey her?
"Please..."
"I take that as a "no"."
"Guinevere! Think what would happen if..."
The line disconnected. As it did, a felt a growing unease in my stomach. Across the city, new fires flared to life and the St Darwin Street itself seemed to glow with flames. It was only a few minutes before I could hear gunfire. As it so happens, I had just experienced Britannia's last few minutes of peace.

Lucien,

Our contact in Pendragon is forwarding some interesting stuff. Apparently of the Royal Children attempted a coup against Weinberg and crowned Guinevere as the new Empress. Weinberg managed to escape though and is mobilising the National Guard to fight for old Charlie. Most of the nobility supports him. I suppose it is because it's easier to line your pockets when the only man with the authority to prosecute you spends his days locked up in the palace. Still, Guinevere has most of the Royals on her side except for Cornelia, Clovis and Schneizel who have all gone missing. Odysseus tried to persuade everyone to calm down and caught a bullet for his trouble. He's limping all the way to political asylum in the EU. I am pretty sure Clovis is taking that path too. Cornelia went off hunting Zero in Japan but I have no idea what Schneizel is planning (I don't think anyone does...)
Still, from the looks of it this is going to be a very nasty civil war. If we capitalise on the moment, we might have a decent shot at taking the main government offices in one night. If we can persuade the EU to help, Quebec will be an independent nation in no time. I have friends in Strasbourg. They will make some waves and we'll see what the Hemicycle does. They hate Britannia almost as much as we do.
Be well. I'll contact you if the situation changes

Maurice

PS
I just heard. Troop transports are arriving in England. It seems the EU does have plans for a strike across the Atlantic. I'll have my best men make contact and see if we can co-ordinate our attack. This is really happening! Quebec will soon be ours!

Thursday 12 February
We were walking through Jamestown when the sergeant pulled me off to one side and asked me, his face deadly serious: "How loyal are you to Empress Guinevere?" I replied that I valued her above the lives of my own family. He smiled and said "Then duck." He then grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me to the ground. A second later, the two knightmares accompanying us opened fire with their cockpit mounted machineguns. The entire squad was wiped out apart from me, the sergeant and three other men. I was almost pissing myself with fright. Turns out, Prince Thaddeus was planning something against the new Empress so she decided on a "pre-emptive strike". Thing is, half the Fifth Army got wiped out in that pre-emptive strike so we are going to have to call up the National Reserves and the Knight Police to have a chance against the Euries who have just attacked Area 2. It is quite astonishing how quickly the most powerful army in the world can collapse once it turns its guns on itself.

The Triumph of Liberty - The Fall of the Holy Britannian Empire

The Battle of the Orchards

On paper, the Battle of the Orchards would appear a limited engagement of little consequence yet most analysts describe it as the pivotal battle of the Second Atlantic War, comparable to the Second Battle of Warsaw or even the El Alamein Offensive.
Three things make the Battle of the Orchards unique. For a start, it was the first time foreign troops had fought a battle in the Britannian homeland since the Seven Years War (discounting mercenaries who fought during Washington's rebellion). This proved to be a significant blow to Britannian morale and goaded Guinevere into marching north before she was fully prepared. Secondly, it conclusively discredited the Britannian belief that knightmare frames could be deployed en masse, without air or infantry support. The EU commander, Lieutenant Adler Rommel (grandson of the famous general of the First Atlantic War) was able to rout the Britannians using conventional armour assets and excellent planning, forcing the Britannians to choose between advancing on his platoon of helicopter gunships which were harassing the Britannian flanks or charge down the barrels of eight Jaguar Kampfpanzers further down the valley. The Britannian knightmares went after the tanks and became bogged down in the middle, checked by half buried chaos mines and precision artillery strikes.
Such a humiliating defeat for the seemingly invincible Royal Panzer Infantry forced Britannia onto the defensive for the rest of the war, having lost initiative that mobile all-knightmare units provided.
Yet perhaps the most ominous feature was that the Battle of the Orchards was the last battle which Britannia fought entirely with conventional weapons. In subsequent battles: Hill 11, the Siege of Boston and the clearing of the Pendragon catacombs, Britannia began deploying bizarre and inhuman weapons, results of their disregard for the lives of so-called "Numbers" and willingness to use them as guinea pigs in macabre "scientific" experiments. It is a result of these appalling weapons of last resort that large parts of the former Britannia Homeland were rendered completely uninhabitable. While Chemical K and Sarin Gas probably killed the most, what this period is remembered for best are the Revenants.

This is a notice to all European soldiers on the American front.

There have been a number of rumours circulating and they have been having a detrimental effect on unit morale. We have decided that the best way to quash these rumours is with the truth, however ugly it may be.
First, we would like to stress that the Britannians are NOT capable of causing the dead to "live again". The basis for these rumours is a particular section of the Britannian Army referred to as Code R or, more frequently, the Order Revenant.
Revenants are NOT "undead", nor are they to be considered alive. They are repurposed corpses which, through invasive and inhuman cybernetic modifications, have regained basic motor functions and are used by the Britannians as shock weapons. Three types of Revenant have been reported.
The first is described as the Mark VII. It is the most common and the most basic of all models. It possesses no armour and can be incapacitated much like any normal human. Due to it being controlled robotically instead of by a sentient being, it may require a greater degree of punishment than normal but they are neither supernatural, nor any more of a threat than any of the targets you were taught to face during training.
The second type is less common but more dangerous. Unlike the first which are mass produced on the frontline, this type (Mark IV) is "built" in specialist facilities, off of the front line. The Mark IV is notable for its subdermal armour plating and servo reinforced joints. They are capable of surprising acts of physical strength and may resist a greater degree of punishment than expected. HOWEVER all EU small arms using the modern 7x55mm round WILL be capable of penetrating their armour within 200 metres. Mark IVs are armed with two sets of titanium sheathed claws which are bolted to the forearms. Due to the above average strength of the Mark IV, they will be capable of penetrating standard combat armour. It is highly advised to engage these targets in the open and with concentrated small arms fire. They WILL show up on all common infra-red goggles but normal "chaff smoke and thermal goggles" tactics are inadvisable. Knightmare pilots should note that self-igniting flechette rounds have proved highly effective, even more so than standard mercury tipped anti-personnel munitions. Also be aware that the rumour that Revenants can only be killed to a shot to the head is incorrect. In fact, they will be far more resistant to such shots than normal people as they are controlled through the spinal cord, not the brain.
The third type of Revenant is perhaps the most elusive. They appear to be similar to the Mark IV but are capable of speech. This is NOT to be taken as a sign that the corpse is aware, instead it shows a greater degree of cybernetic implants and therefore an even greater defilement of those unfortunate men and women. All sightings of any of these types should be reported to Command at once and the recovery an intact or partially intact Type 3 is to be considered a level 2 priority objective where applicable.
It is important to note that the Britannians seem ready to use any available corpses, including those of dead European personnel. If you meet an animate version of someone you knew DO NOT HESITATE. The corpse is only being used as a weapon. It is NOT the person you remember. It is imperative that you understand that it is better to end Britannia's horrific defilement of our loyal soldiers' corpses than to pursue the delusion that the person you remember has returned. Such actions endanger both you and your fellow soldiers.
I hope this news brings better understanding of Britannia's latest and most disturbing weapon of war. Remember your oaths and stay strong. Millions of innocents look to us for their liberation from Britannia's tyranny. We will not fail them.

Generalfeldmarshal Wilhelm Stahl

"To any Britannian units still alive out there, this is Major Joseph Fenette. We're currently... [static] ...seum of Manifest Destiny on St Darwin Street. The Krauts took Number 10 a few hours ago and we've got Russkie infantry all over us... GET BACK TO YOUR POST THIS INSTANT SOLDIER! [gunshots] We are running out of ammunition and medical supplies. We will not be able to hold our position [static]...ew hours. If there are any units still in Pendragon, please give us some support. If the Mus... [loud burst of noise and static] WE'VE GOT PANZERS! WEST WING, ALL OUR ANTI-KNIGHTMARE WEAPONS! GO! GO! Requesting immediate air support! Please! Anyone? For the love of God, please! RUSSKIES IN THE MAIN LOBBY! [massed gunshots then screams] KEEP FIRING, KEEP FIRING GODDAMNIT! [more gunshots] Fuck! Oh God that hurts... No! I don't need a medic! Go help someone who needs it! I... I... [faint] Shirley? Is that you, Shirley? Don't worry. Daddy's here. Don't be afraid, Shirley... I'm here for you... [gunshots and static]

I am Sergei Mikhailovich Ershov, Führer of the European Ultra-union and President of the Central Hemicycle. Today's special meeting of the Central Hemicycle has been called to recognise one of the most important developments in modern geopolitics ever encountered by this Council.
At 0900 hours this morning, Generalfeldmarshal Wilhelm Stahl met with Dorothea Ernst, Knight of Four and Supreme Commander of all Britannian Homeland Defence Forces. Lady Ernst agreed to surrender unconditionally to the EU, to relinquish all of Britannia's colonial holdings and to hand over "Empress" Guinevere and all other surviving members of the Royal House to the Hague, pending trial for Acts of Tyranny. I was surprised to see such a high ranking Knight agree to our terms however as it turns out, Lady Ernst led a mutiny against the Royal Family when she discovered the full extent of their crimes against their own people. It would appear that Lady Ernst wanted Britannia's end to be one of chivalry instead of one of cruelty and depravity. For that action, I cannot help but feel gratitude.
I wish I could say that this news fills me with joy. Indeed, the liberation of so many millions from Britannian oppression is a truly wonderful occasion. Yet I hope we will not let our celebrations prevent us from remembering all those brave men and women who gave their lives so that this day could come. The Second Atlantic War will go down in history as the bloodiest war of the past century, eclipsing even our own Unification War in terms of civilian deaths. Including the War of Britannian Succession that was being waged when our armed forces intervened, more than ten million civilians lost their lives. Forty thousand of those were from missile attacks on European and African cities by the Royal Navy and the Royal Britannian Air Force but the rest were a consequence of Britannia's cruelty and willingness to deploy chemical, biological and sakuradite based strategic weaponry without reason or consequence, even against their own people. Millions more have since died of starvation due to Britannia's gross over-reliance on "Areas" for sustenance. This is not a day for celebration, not after so many lives have been lost. But perhaps we can be glad that the nightmare that was Pax Britannica is now over for the people who have lived as "Numbers" beneath Britannia's tyranny.

To those people, I give my solemn word: the Holy Britannian Empire is finally dead.
