Earlier this week, Captain Murdak, an Assington Pirate Commander, was charged and sentenced for an unprovoked attack on Foe Hammer Armada and Naponian Armed Spaceforce vessels. His sentence would have been Death by The Table, but a test subject was required for a dying project. What was that project? Successfully implanting an AI into a human.

Murdak, renamed William, the AI's self-assigned name, has just fully recovered from his surgery. The AI interface is simple. A very small electronic signal transmitter was attached to the subject's Cerebral Cortex. This was then routed to a Cardslot in the back of the neck, where the AI's small 1 inch by 1 inch card is inserted. It is currently unknown if Murdak completed the procedure without temporary - or permenant - memory loss. The best part - These "Body Artificial Intelligence" units run on the energy produced by the host. Numerous hosts can be used, from willing volunteers to Death-row inmates.

The procedure took up around 10 hours, and cost thousands of dollars, almost equal to the amount it costs to put one soldier through Boot Camp. Not only will this program provide a boost in Foe Hammer's Troop numbers, albeit a rather small one, but it will also provide numerous Neurosurgeons and Brain Surgeons with jobs, which will in turn raise the economy.

Foe Hammer will be willing to trade this technology to it's allies.

OOC: Don't ask me exactly how this thing works because:
1) I'm not a doctor/scientist, for christsakes.
2) It's a friggin' game.

And if you aren't going to ask, thanks for understanding :)

1,400 volts!

CLEAR!

*Buzz*

We've got a pulse! Grab the stretcher!

Learning of the whereabouts of the wanted criminal, Marduk, Assington officials were outraged to find him being held prisoner by Foe Hammer. But after learning of the good cause he was used for, Assington is interested in this technology.

A delegate shall be sent to Foe Hammer to negotiate some trade agreements, if accepted.

We will gladly trade this technology with Assington. We welcome your delegate with open arms. We will send the components of the system, as well as an AI card to try it out.

President Calis is happy that Foe Hammer could find a use for such a man. We apologise for any damage he may have caused and are willing to compensate.

What price do you ask for this technology?

Only your nation's friendship. Oh, as well as the assurance that this technology will not be used against Foe Hammer.

deep within the shadowy passages of the royal palace, two figures meet. each cloaked in shadow.

"another experiment with man and machine is under way," says one.

"such have always seemed to be fraught with peril," the other responds.

"yes. we will wait for information on the stability of murdak/william. who will control the mind and the body. the machine, the man, or will it be jeckle and hyde?"

"yes. we must wait"

the two turn and leave in a swirl of shadow.

Only your nation's friendship. Oh, as well as the assurance that this technology will not be used against Foe Hammer.

That is assured. A delegate is on the way to meet with your people. Perhaps an official alliance of some sorts can be signed. We are very grateful of this technology, it will be very useful in dealing with problems such as Commander Marduk.
