Of course you can... but perhaps you will need to discuss this with the President, Cabinet or the GA. You have my permission. Go ahead and explain me what you are planning to do.
Can I also ask you to go on a mission to Russia? You will have to get informations about the Berkut and / or the Super Flanker. What do you think of it?
Truman calls the just apointed Head of Airforce Commander Carl Condarski to his office...
"Good morning Sir,
Of course you've heard about the plans we have with the Russians. I want you to assemble a team of good airforce pilots to send to Russia to test the plane. I'll also ask from you to acompany those men."
"One small detail... they have to leave at least tomorrow. Is this possible?"

Condorski smiles broadly. "Sierra Hotel, Minister. I'll lead a group over myself. That's a nice plane to toss around the sky."

Truman smilies..
Condarski, if Von Hapsburg agrees (OOC: if he replies to this topic...), I'll send him with you. You agree with that too?"

A fax arrives from the Coast Guard Station at Landfall.

President Loic de Fourgéres makes an appointment to see MDIS Frans Truman in the Quadragon, and comes to see him. After they are seated, he begins.
"We have been very lucky, my friend. You saw that message from the Coast Guard about the ship that sunk with the nuclear 'research' equipment on board. They had a permit signed by signed by you for that highly sensitive material. Don't tell me, let me guess. The folks from the Maskirovka Tea Room asked you for something more than just the thirty million dollars for the spare parts? How many of those pieces of paper did you sign?
I assume, since FLEA says the University didn't order that stuff, that it was going to go missing before it got there. And since they weren't expecting it, no 'theft' would be reported. The question is whether it was bound for somewhere overseas or whether there is another terrorist plot cooking up here at home. I wouldn't have thought that the Franco-Eutopian Revolutionary Army would be that extreme, and we have just about wiped out the Friends of Durruti, so who could it be? There was some Topan movement, Six Kingdoms, but I haven't heard much about them since Topafest.
Anyway, it is pointless to speculate. What can we do to prevent any others from being used? If we claim it is a forgery then we don't get the spare parts. But the last thing we need is to be branded as facilitating nuclear proliferation. So if I thought that would prevent the problem I would make that trade off, but if word of this get out, we will be real international pariah, so I am inclined to keep quiet about it, and hope some other intelligence service finds out who has any other equipment without linking it to us. We will also have to come up with a good story for FLEA, or maybe I can just explain all of this to Hedgar Joover? What do you think we should do?

"About the things I've given, except those 30 million, these were blank-end user certificates... two of them. (OOC: I've said in OOC talk (eutopiary) that Truman would come into trouble for that... I just knew it.) I understand we've been very lucky."
"The best thing I think what to do, is the same what you just mentioned: keeping it quiet. I'll ask the Deputy CoN, while Tulp is temporatily unavailable because of that Court Martial. I'll ask him if he can send some tugs to pull up the ship.
The coast guard needs to keep the area clear (because of radiation) but perhaps we can say we found a bomb from the WW2 there... What do you think about that?"
Truman sends out a message to the Coast Guard Station...

"There were no meaningful amounts of radioactive materials on the ship that went down. The centrifuge can be used to separate U-238 which is common and stable from U-235 which is rarer and fissionable. It is probably safer to leave it a the bottom of the sea. If the equipment wasn't wrecked in when the boat went down, then exposure to salt water will corrode it beyond use soon enough. If we keep an eye out for any un-authorized salvage operations, then we might catch some of the bad-guys, although we aren't exactly wearing white hats anymore."
Loic lowers the pitch of his voice and speaks theatrically...
"Welcome to the Dark Side, Frans."
...back in his normal voice...
"At least there is only one more certificate out there. I agree, lets keep it quiet. I suggest we let Interpol know at the end of the term, so they can then try to track down where the other equipment went. It would take more time that to build a bomb, plus they would have to have a big supply of uranium. But I have to speak to Hedgar Joover next week about this. What should we say to him? If I say nothing, he may want to interview you."

Isn't it too late to let Interpol know about the situation? I think they aren't able to track anything then anymore. The one who could import this will have deleted all his traces by that time... (OOC: I've still got exams, will be unavailable for anything from Wednesday till Monday).
Well, think about it, and if you have any further about it ideas let me know. Let's just focus on the lives of the pilots we save by getting these parts. If someone else uses the certicate or money for some evil purpose, that is their decision and on their conscience not ours.
A message arrvies from ENDTech
From: ENDTech HQ
Status: Classified
Toer Truman
I am writing to you about the possiabillity of highening the security of ENDTech by having a few soliders around and also if possable having a few hummers as I don't think the current security of ENDTech is suffient to handle a Major terrorist attack
Regards Major Braxton
Major Braxton who actually delivered the message walks up to the deputy MDIS
Hello Mr Hapsburg I would like to speak to you about the security at ENDTech seeing as that Per Truman is not here at the moment.
Hello Mr Hapsburg I would like to speak to you about the security at ENDTech seeing as that Per Truman is not here at the moment.
Perhaps I should order a detail of infantry to provide additional perimeter security, and hereby reccomeend that Counterintelligence assign a special detatchment for the ENDTech facility.
yes that would be good because I have been rather worried about the Franco revolunatry armee'
Very well then, I order that a company of infantry be assigned for the preimeter of ENDTech. (OOC: Order will be given if i have authority.)
Whose command will they be under?, and also could I give them any orders like the other security staff?
Truman walks into the office of the Deputy MDIS. He just noticed the last words from Braxton and Von Hapsburg...
"Von Hapsburg, you've got the permission for this. I want this situation at ENDTech to be without problems. If those soldiers are being shot, they have the permission to fire back but only with rubber bullet! No live ammo. I would suggest to give them no atomatic rifles but you'll never know what can happen."
"To you Braxton, don't worry. Everything will go perfect. You've got experience with commanding units or should I send Major McGrath? Perhaps even with a LIRA unit. I think he is the right man. I will already notice him so you can still decide. He will be ready when you need him to be ready."
