Introduction

Fugitive terrorist Tahira Ali voluntarily enters the United States, offering information on individuals closely tied to the heart of Hataf, a terrorist organization responsible for scores of attacks against anyone deemed its enemy (including Americans, Israelis, the British, and even Asian Indians) since 1965 through the present day. Since 1968, Ali has been on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List for her role in Hataf related attacks and foiled plots, as well as seemingly unrelated murders.

Meanwhile, the American Central Intelligence Agency will scramble to unravel this mystery. Why is Ali offering this information? Is any of it valid? And most importantly, they have received intelligence from other sources that Hataf is planning its grandest attack yet, with a nuclear warhead obtained from the former Soviet Union. It is unclear where it came from, but if the information is true, and the CIA believes it is, it is even more imperative to deal a crushing blow to Hataf to end its reign of terror over its enemies.

At the same time, the American FBI will demand jurisdiction in the criminal case pending against Ali, who has not been granted any form of immunity. They see this as an opportunity to make an example of her, to propagate the message that they always get their man, and that no one can escape justice, especially not one of their ten most wanted.

As the date of Hataf's attack draws near - sometime mid-June - tensions will increase, and those involved in this situation will be forced to examine their own motives, to face their pasts, and to unravel the greatest mystery of all - the mystery of self. Those in Hataf who fear they will be named, found, and either arrested or killed will be driven deeper into hiding, or drawn from it, to do what Ali is doing. Those in the CIA and the FBI are not merely engaged in another turf war; they must find a median in order to prevent a devastating tragedy. And then there is Tahira Ali. What to do with her? That question, though not the first one, is ever-present, as law enforcement and intelligence work together to thwart Hataf's plot.

Toggle Rules

Rules

1.) Follow basic roleplay etiquette. This is with respect to things such as god-modding, metagaming, and the like.
2.) Post as often as you can. Your real life comes first, so don't feel overly pressured. (Minimum is once every two weeks; but less is acceptable, if you speak to me about it.)
3.) Characters should be unique, realistic, believable, and dynamic. This means Mary Sues will not be permitted, and that all characters should be developed dynamically and believably.
4.) Literacy is required. There is no minimum post length, but good form, style, and presentation are expected.
5.) Violence and swearing (IC only, please) are obviously permitted due to the nature of the themes. Keep romance/sexual content to PG-13 (this one is a rule of the site as well).

Character Submissions

You can submit them to the official roleplay tab page. . . thing. . . on here.

Be sure to mention what organization your character represents. You may choose from the CIA, the FBI, Hataf, or the American military. You could also choose another organization, provided you have good reason to add to the story from that angle.

I honestly don't care whether you use a picture reference for your character (as long as it's realistic), but please use your description and history as a chance to showcase your writing ability. Premade or pre-existing characters are welcome, provided they are your creation. Also, be realistic about ages of characters, especially with respect to relevant skills, experience, and education.

Any Mary Sues will be murdered most violently before I click the 'accept' button.

Also, when you submit a character, please send me a PM so I know you sent a profile. The tab doesn't notify GMs of submissions.

Lastly, when you post your IC posts, please remember to make them in the FORUM THREAD, not this tab.

Ylanne wrote:A character-driven story without one meta-plot, which is typical of roleplay, allowing the writers to devise their own conflicts, backstory connections, and plotlines, which they have done with great elegance, developing their characters into round, dynamic persons whose further development has been a pleasure to watch. Looking forward to the continuation of this roleplay.

Tahira Ali says,

“ It seemed cold in the interrogation room. Moses had taken her here an hour ago, and left her, sitting on a plastic chair in a nearly empty room, her manacled hands resting in her lap, her gaze staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror on the wall, unsure what to make of her own image. Tahira Ali seemed almost Lilliputian here, though there was little space in the room to begin with. The walls dwarfed her. The shadows from the light fixture played with her features, and when she shifted her weight ever so subtly, the shadows too moved.

Ali did not speak. Words were thunderous, easily fatal, and she did not wish to disturb the tranquility of silence. Silence has a beauty all its own, untainted by suffering and pain that words too easily convey, too easily shatter hope and dreams with. Ali reflected then, that she was alone, completely isolated from anyone, and she thought, not without some hint of sorrow, that she had never felt as alone in all her days as she did right now. ”

Nathaniel (Nathan) Carter says,

“ The cabin jolted as the AC 130 touched down on Langley’s airfield. Nathan replaced the dossier into his black suitcase and spun the combination lock before inserting and turning his key. As the plane taxied around the runway to the refueling station Nathan readied himself for his coming task. From the reports, Tahira Ali seemed to respond to direct questioning well, but he wondered how much she would reveal. Why was she talking now; to prevent the death of innocents of all things? She’d never shown any problems with killing in the past. Did her conscience catch up with her in old age, he mused. Nathan chuckled at his line of thinking. Not likely, he decided.

When the plane came to a halt the cabin door opened up. To his surprise a lieutenant colonel boarded to get him. “Chief Carter?” he asked extending a hand. “I’m Lieutenant Colonel Mahaffey, welcome to Langley Airforce Base.”

“Good to meet you, sir,” Nathan replied shaking the colonel’s hand. “I expected a different welcoming committee.” ”

Nathaniel (Nathan) Carter says,

“ “You mean they’re holding her in Lee?” Nathan asked dumbfounded. “Isn’t that a bit reckless sir?”

“It’s maximum security Chief Carter. She’s under the AG’s jurisdiction now. I know how you feel, but it was all we could do to get you in there. Don’t fuck this up,” Mahaffey told him.

“I won’t, sir,” Nathan replied as Mahaffey motioned for him to exit the plane. Carter followed him down the plane’s boarding ramp that ended at a HMMWV with a single man in ACU’s in it. As they reached the vehicle the lieutenant colonel turned to Carter. “I pray for your success Chief. Give her hell,” he said as he opened the passenger side door. Nathan climbed in and shut the door, looking over at the sergeant.

“It’ll take us about an hour to get there normally. I’ll get us there in thirty,” he said giving Nathan a sly smile. ”

“ “In a HMMWV? Not likely Sergeant. This thing won’t go over fifty five,” Nathan countered.

“Maybe not, but if I take the back street’s it’ll be faster than getting through traffic. I know what I’m doing, sir,” the sergeant responded. “Staff Sergeant Richardson by the way. Nice to meet you, sir.”

Nathan just nodded and they were on their way after Nathan tossed his gear into the back. Carter just stared out the window as the world passed by in a blur of trees, the occasional car, and a buildings. ”

Tahira Ali says,

“ Natalie was driving exactly sixty on the interstate, not bothering to speed the way most of the other drivers here were. She considered it, briefly, considered pulling one or two of them over to give them a good verbal assault on their reckless and illegal driving habits, but she continued, her watch telling her she was another hour or so away from Lee, her mouth turning to a small frown.

In the prison, Tahira Ali was still alone, left unmolested and without company in the interrogation room, wondering who was coming to speak to her, and how soon it would be. It had been another half hour or so, and she was almost beginning to worry, the old anxiety coming back. She wondered again, for the thousandth time, why she was doing this. Was it a ludicrous idea after all? No. Ali steeled herself. It had to be done. It had to be. ”

Nathaniel (Nathan) Carter says,

“ It was mid afternoon when the HMMWV pulled up to the security gate of Lee Penitentiary. Sergeant Richardson unzipped the driver side window and handed the guard his ID. The guard swiped it through a card reader and handed it back to the sergeant. Two more guards opened the prison gates and the HMMWV drove into the government section of the parking lot. At the same time Nathan noticed a dark blue Camry pull into the parking lot behind them. It held FBI license plates. Hmm, this doesn’t look good, Nathan thought to himself.

“Looks like someone’s trying to beat you too her,” Staff Sergeant Richardson noted, pointing to the agents vehicle.

“Well, let’s hope we can do something about it,” Nathan replied, grabbing his suitcase and stepping out of the vehicle. ”

“ Natalie Schultz parked exactly parallel in the lines, and then climbed out of her car, blinking in the sudden brightness of the sun, the pen in her right hand twirling lazily as eyes rolled upward, noticing the two military men. She began to walk toward the entrance to the prison, not bothering to greet the two, or ask their business, or even look at them as she stared fixedly ahead at the door.

Nathaniel (Nathan) Carter says,

“ Nathan hadn’t expected the agent to speak to him. It was typical of other agencies to stick to their own business seeing as they often competed. Instead he did much the same, heading towards the door with suitcase in hand. He entered the left side of the prison’s double doors next to the agent and headed for the interrogation rooms. As he approached the door he noted an officer standing outside. Nathan approached and showed the man his ID card. “Chief Warrant Officer Nathaniel Carter. I’m with MI and have authorization to speak with detainee number 29083564,” he told the man. ”

Tahira Ali says,

“ As soon as the military man was within arm's length of Natalie, she frowned and began to walk slightly hunched forward, almost bouncing on her toes as she moved, though she followed him toward the interrogation rooms, standing behind the man just out of arm's length, her gaze almost unfocused, almost not understanding his words, though the number, that she recognized, and looked up, a movement of just her head, eyes raking the man but not resting anywhere near his. "That's why I'm here too," she said, too loudly, and after an extra moment, produced her credentials and held them out in her left hand, right hand busy increasing the pressure on her pen.

“ “I thought as much. I don’t want to cause an uproar, but I’m going in first. I’ve got a mission to complete Ma’am don’t allow my leisure,” Carter told the agent. It was imperative that he got in that door first. He knew how detainee’s got after being talked to about the same thing over and over. They were never very pleasant and the more you talked to them with different people the more reluctant they became to give information. Nathan hoped that getting in first would give him a better chance of getting the information he needed. And oh did they need it. ”

The longer I take the more people will die. I don’t care what you do after I’m done, but I have to get in there now,” Nathan told her, his voice cold and unemotional as always. Things were starting get out of control. He wasn’t sure if she noticed, but the longer they talked, the more the agent started to fidget. Must be something subconscious, he thought. I’m guessing she’s angry. ”

“ No, not angry, Nathan corrected himself. Nervous? No, that’s not it either. Could she be….afraid? “Thank you Ma’am. I’ll try to be as quick as I can,” Nathan said as he began sanitizing his uniform, removing his name and rank from the Velcro of his ACU. Then he nodded to the officer at the door. The man opened the door and Nathan stepped inside to confront the woman he’d been fighting against for years. The Ace of Spades. He noted the shackles she wore, strapped to the chair and held in place. “Remove her restraints,” he told the officer.

“B-but sir,” the officer stuttered.

“I said remove them,” Nathan ordered, this time more forceful.

“Y-yes sir!” the officer said, walking across the room and undoing the woman’s shackles before leaving the room; closing the door behind him. Nathan walked over and sat down on the chair across from Tahira. “Let me begin by introducing myself. My name is Nathan,” he told her. ”

“ Natalie remained outside the door for several moments, before abruptly turning back down the hallway, walking toward the lobby where she took a seat, closing her eyes as she rocked slowly back and forth, increasing and decreasing the pressure on her pen at steady intervals.

Inside, Ali looked up when the door opened, eyes narrowing slightly at the sudden sound. She watched the man who entered, wondering why he had ordered the shackles removed, but letting her hands rest on her lap again once the chains were gone, her vacant gaze sliding over to the interrogator, who wore a military uniform, though she did not meet his eyes, nodding at his name. "My name is Tahira," she said, her voice soft, almost inaudible. "It is nice to meet you." At once her accented English stood out, the greeting almost rote. ”

Re: When the Lion Wakes (limited openings)

I'm afraid that I'm going to have to back out of the RP at this point. Most of my RPing time and interest has swayed towards more fantasy-based worlds and I just can't motivate myself to write for Dawn or many of my other modern-era characters anymore. I wish you all the best of luck with the roleplay because it certainly deserves it. :)

Ylanne

Re: When the Lion Wakes (limited openings)

I am alive and I'm a failure at posting in a timely fashion. Also, Aliath is rejoining us by Friday as well. Along with Alasund in the near future. We are two years old (with this roleplay) on 24 March 2012; can you all believe it? Since it's started, I've actually moved to D.C. And I've been to some of the locations mentioned in posts. (How fun, I know.)

Re: When the Lion Wakes (limited openings)

Ylanne! You are alive! Thank goodness. Well, I'll work on a new post coming up in the next few day.

Ylanne

Re: When the Lion Wakes (limited openings)

Okay! Just a quick note for those of you who're working on posts. Don't forget to read the bottom of page six and Tempest's new post on page seven. Thanks!

Ylanne

Re: When the Lion Wakes (limited openings)

This is mostly my fault. I will post tomorrow. I'm sorry. I will be moving the plot forward. I have plans. Does anyone have suggestions before I write said post? (I'm already one-third of the way through.)

Script

Re: When the Lion Wakes (limited openings)

In an ideal world what would have happened at this point in the plot was that Dawn would have dropped out of it for a while, whilst everyone else got along and other things happened, until such a time as she made a mistake that would lead to her revealing herself. I'm really not sure what to do now, since the rest of the plot has ground to a halt, and it seems unrealistic that Dawn would have a CIA agent on her tail within a week. :/

Welcome back. And I'm waiting on your post and perhaps a reply from Script on whether or not she wants me to hunt her... Until then, limbo...

Re: When the Lion Wakes (limited openings)

I hope to get a post up this weekend. I also need to post in Orsa of Terminus, and to prepare for some things work-related offline. I hope I'll have time over the weekend to get caught up. I'm thinking the post will delve into one or both of their backstories a bit more, as I like to do that. Tahira, we've explored a bit in the introductions to the three days. I think I'll focus on Natalie in this one.

Tempest

Re: When the Lion Wakes (limited openings)

I like it, well done.

Re: When the Lion Wakes (limited openings)

I made a pretty banner.

The Arabic says "love" and "hate" for those curious linguists. Hope you enjoy. :)

Re: When the Lion Wakes (limited openings)

Tempest, you and Skallagrim may want to think about collaborating as well, as Skall is writing for the CIA's Special Activities Division, if I'm not mistaken. A PM could be a good idea, if you need to contact him and he doesn't respond immediately to this thread. (Then again, Skall, you might be reading this yourself, in which case a response would be lovely.)

Dawn -- I can't think of anything specific, except either things she is doing with her new job, or things she is doing to avoid being found or tracked. As Tempest suggested, you might have room for some collaboration there.

I'm happy to send a CIA agent after you if you like?

Re: When the Lion Wakes (limited openings)

Thanks, Tempest. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your most recent post, and will try to put up a post for Natalie and Tahira in Eagle's Nest soon.

We're waiting on posts from Ivanol, Script, Baby, Ottoman, and LightingStrikes at the moment. Alasund De'astio and Tempest both recently posted.

This roleplay was originally created in a tab located at When the Lion Wakes in the tab, and Remaeus and I spent the other day creating the correct places where scenes and posts have taken place. Sometime within the next week or two, the posts from the in-character thread will be migrated to the roleplay in the new system, where they will remain readable entirely in chronological order, as well as in-character location-stamped. Future posts (AFTER the existing ones have been migrated) will need to be made to the correct location in the roleplay (and if there is not a location listed here that you need, I can create it for you.)

When this roleplay was first created in March 2010 (yes, 2010), I was not happy with the tab system as it existed. With a slew of recent changes made to suit writing and my style of reading, I would like to see these posts migrated back into the tab. If you don't believe me about its readability, check this Multiverse place and the way posts are listed there. You can click on different pages, and posts made using the posting box at the bottom would appear in that location. The same system, on a smaller scale (as there are fewer *places, roleplayers, and posts in When the Lion Wakes), will work for us, and for both our shorter and longer posts.
