…
I woke up in the early morning hours, just when the sun cracked over the horizon. I was headed south, to the very edges of the BrookStone Region. So, I walked down to the local train station, which wasn’t much, and doubled as a freight station.
Around 7 the train pulled out of the station, and started heading south. My boss had told me that something new had been built outside of Trenton, but I didn’t know just yet.
We rode along the light rail line for a bit, and then peeled off and headed directly south
By ten, I had gone as far as I could by rail. It was a small community that basically served the needs of travelers going from the ferry to the trains. I walked down to the pier and got on a ferry. There I met someone who lived on the other side of the water, but went to work in Trenton.
Our ferry took off, and I asked him how the place we were going was. He told me it was a pretty small community, and there were a lot of retirees there. On the ferry, we passed by something that utterly left my jaw on the floor.
It was a battleship! And it was on the move! I asked the man about it, and he responded “yeah, didn’t you know there was a naval base built here? Just recently too” it was amazing to see such a large ship, and I had to go look further into it.
I bid goodbye to the man I talked to, and as we landed at the civilian part of the docks, and I took some time to look around the small town.
It was a rather small place, but all the houses were high or middle-class. I guess they worked full-time at the naval station. There was also a small business district, next to the boardwalk.
The largest place in the town was the local Denny’s, who have served a lot of the naval service men. I went up to one of the two gates that flanked the naval docks, and asked if I could get in. I told the guards that I was a Journalist scheduled to take a tour, and soon the guards had arranged for me to get a tour. I wonder if my boss called ahead.
The base itself was massive, and I was given a sergeant as my tour guide and a small Humvee. The sergeant explained that since The BrookStone Region was a protectorate of Canada, the Canadian military decided to help fund BrookStone’s own Military base. The building of this base also came with the founding of a military for the region: The BrookStone Regional Military (BS-RM). BS-RM takes commands from leaders and mayors in BrookStone, but in the end those can be overridden by the Canadian military.
The military base was an immense build for The BrookStone Region, and occupies an area the size of LexingtonBay. It hosts a naval dry dock, refueling stations, resupply docks, two submarine docks, two aircraft carrier moors, a Battleship dock, and numerous destroyer and patrol boat docks. Some ships moored are Canadian, others are part of the Regional Sailing Vessel Fleet, which supports BrookStone.
The sergeant then led me to the NavalCommandCenter, and showed me the newest proposal. It was by the BrookStone Regional Government and the Canadian Armed forces, and it was a proposal for a small base and resupply station for CanadianLand forces. The proposal would also include the formation of a small army for the BrookStone Region.
This is where you can vote!
The proposal is quite simple, should the army base be built? Many argue that controlling the waters is simply not enough, and The BrookStone Region needs an army to defend itself on land. Others say that and Airforce should be created instead. There are 4 options.
A) Create a small army for The BrookStone Region, and build the base.
B) Create a small Airforce, and build a runway
C) Ask for protection from the Canadian Land Forces
D) Don’t build anything
It was getting late, so I was driven out of the naval base and to a small bed and breakfast in town.
There, I purchased a small room for myself, had a little snack, and went to bed. Tomorrow, I was supposed to get a call from my boss on where to go.
-----
