The Fangwall finished its meeting. Given recent times, it was decided they would send a group of steam-tanks to Saranau. Angder ordered them sent to Seawatch immediately, to shift them to Saranau in the fastest way possible. The church graciously accepted the first gem as a donation. As Asenda had predicted, and much to the annoyance of Grunan.
Just before the meeting ended, one final issue emerged. A message forced through the door. Angder reads it slowly. Then swears. Of course, the vote was fast, and almost unanimous.
.."OK... this is bad." Angder states. "The Greatclaw region, will go into complete lockdown. Civilians will be evacuated into their bunkers as a precautionary measure. Grunan, we need your dire wolves, fully sized and ready." Grunan shakes their head "The research is barely ready, we can't expect more tha~" "I have seen the tests" Angder interrupts. "They are good enough." "Are we still sending things our tanks and helicopters out?" Amblos asks, Angder almost finds himself yelling. "YES! The Fangwall repays those who help it, and I am NOT having another debate over that." Angder sighs. "Spiritwatch, Southhold, and Rockroam will be on FULL alert. Rockroam, and Farwall, will begin construction of war machines immediately." Angder pauses. "Any questions?"
Naturally there were several...

half an hour later, Angder emerges, he heads up to his room, and slumps heavily onto his bed. Running the Fangwall was like Herding cats sometimes, today was one of those times. Right now he had things to think about though. This... nuclear warhead... it reminded him of some of the chemical weapons Grunan had looked into. if one nuke was launched... The Fangwall would likely respond in kind... Angder shudders, seriously worried for his nations safety.

In port was the steam powered Juggernaut, the Iron Giant. Armed with metal ballistas, simple weaponry that was effective enough, but did not carry any risk of exploding on the user. The armored hull almost impenetrable. It was oversized, like a giant block of iron floating on water. Driving up onto its deck, 3 smaller blocks, looking like traditional tanks, but with a ballistas for turrets, move slowly onto the Juggernaut, Whirring as the gears inside them move their tracks. above the vessel, 4 helicopters, again, steam powered, and oversized, land slowly on the deck, each had 6 rotors, and enough space inside to fit 20 people. The fact these helicopters even fly is impressive given their sheer size.
Once the cargo is aboard, the Juggernaut begins to move north to deliver its first bit of cargo to Setchopia.
