Selling...

08-10-2003, 15:52
I have recently stumbled upon 5 Borg Cubes, but I do not as of yet have the technology to actually use them. Because I do not want them to rot in space (as that would mean I spent my money for nothing), I have come to the conclusion that the best I can do is sell them

let's say ... 100 billion USD for each?

We would be interrested in purchasing one, and are willing to offer US$ 85bn, if you can provide:
* evidence of this find.
* co-ordinates of where they were found, so that we can perform further surches in the nearby region.
* delivery to an Earth orbit.

We are also interrested as to whether any of these ships had any smaller auxilliary craft on board? If so, we assume they are included in the price...

Oh puh-LEEZE, now. <insert random emoticons of disbelief, disgust, and disappointment>

I ... bah. I don't even have the words. Ridiculous. And ... bah. *snorts derisively*

This is wrong for so many reasons...

I refer you to Whispering Voices' Legacy thread and the war over that Blackstone Fortress (I think Raem was in that one, for search purposes), for the sort of RP that merit finding Incredibly Useful Things.





Heck, the Legacy is even pretty darn original.



Now, maybe someone will pull a good RP investigating this thing, putting an original spin on a good idea horribly mangled by the ST scriptwriters and not just careening around in a gunboat...

Hack, I bet your head hurt now. Do you need some headache pills?

I bought them from Lunatic Retard Robots. They were delivered to orbit Earth, so we assume they are still there. We don't know about any auxilliary crafts, but they are included if so, as then they were included in the price made for us too. I cannot give you any more proof than the following picture.

Of course we assume that a crew of Borgs is not included.

I also proclaim that, if you buy all 5 together, I will make you one hell of a deal. 5 Borg Cubes for only 450 billion USD, PLUS I'll throw in ten Bluesmoblies(pic below), free of charge!

The Bluesmobile. It has a reinforced front for driving through department stores, malls, windows, etc. Comes with suits, hat, and sunglasses. It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks, it was a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. Now comes with Duane Eddy CD.

The Empire of Xanthal will purchase these vessels from you to reserch their technology and possibly integrate them into our Armada. We will send five fleet vessels to get them and get the money to you then.

Thank you for your generous offer. We will be glad to be rid of them!

An hour later five Xanthalian vessels arrive, spend two hours investigating the ships, then fly them out of the system and back to Xanthalian space. Famicon's government finds the $450 billion in it's account two minutes later.

Regent Doe was checking the bookkeeping while President McRippa was out of town for the Maxxian peace conference in Draztonia.
