They are available for the use of Zoos, Pets & Protection only, they will not be sold to anyone w/ cruel intents such as skinning for fur or food. We await any good offers on them you may purchase up to 10 per customer.

This is quite interesting for the national zoo. We would like 12 Kalidahs, however, along with people who are trained to take care of them, so that our own personnel can learn it. We are unfortunately not able to offer large amounts in return since the zoo is running on a limited budget. What would be an acceptable offer?

Got a picture of those animals?

We will observe four which are ready for zoo life. We will see if they are good enough to be in zoos in our nation.

Since you would like the Kalidah's for the Zoo, which we conisder Educational purposes we can offer them 10 of them to you for 20,000(including 3 staff members to help) if that is too high we can negotiate.

For those of you wishing to observe them we can send 2 Kalidahs(1 Male & 1 Female) to you for a 1month for $5,000(along w/ 1 staff member) should anything happen to them while they are in your custody it is you responisbility.

20,000 in what currency? We would prefer 12, but since your limit is 10, we accept it. A mixed population proportional to the Kalidah's natural state would be excellent.

20,000 Ozlars, according to my calculations that is approx. 13,000 in your currency. Depending on how this order does you may purchase more at a later time.

All right, that is a generous offer which we can't pass on, even though we will have to cut down a bit on expenses to manage the full sum. You get payment as soon as your transport has arrived, but we would prefer if you can wait for a few days while we find accommodations for your trainers to live in Centropolis until they have finished teaching our staff. Should someone of them wish to stay at the CRN zoo, we may be able to employ them.

We would like to buy 100 of them. Here is 20 000 Dominion Credits. Keep the change.

Deal, you shipment has been sent. Over the next few months we will be sending you a total of 10 shipments, 10 Kalidah's per shipment, so that you may 1st see if the Kalidah can adapt.


Centropolis, Have your Kalidah's arrived yet?

Yes thank you, they are quite interesting creatures. They seem more adoptable than we thought as well. It remains to see if they will be healthy, but we are following the instructions by your personnel. So if we get the account number, you get payment together with our thanks. We think the zoo will get more visitors with the Kalidah's present, perhaps enough to increase the budget in the future. Currently we are running an ad camapign to attract more people to come and see these wonderful creatures in a good likeness of their environment.

We would like to purchase 5 Kalidah breeding pairs for our Royal Zoo. Please let us know of any special diet and care that such animals require.

Kalidah's require a fairly large living area, mild temperatures, some sort of plant-life/vegetation & at least one type of meat everyday.
