Resi-rected (A Dragon Awakes)

The Resi Corporation

CEO Jai Resi.

He was a good CEO, best one the company ever had. However, this isn't hard when you consider the other leaders in the corporation's history. CEO Unum Resi, Jai's father, was a short-lived egomaniac who sought total control with a nation incapible of bringing it to him. CEO Dae Narasagi, Jai's successor and the first catperson to become a CEO, was a borderline communist who almost spelled economic and technological ruin for the corporation, and who caused decades of technological stagnation during her crusade for worker's rights. Indeed, Jai was a godsend to the corporation, the only reason it survived Narasagi's reign. However, he was not a man without flaws. His life began and by proxy the corporation began its downward spiral when his daughter, Sara Resi, took her own life after losing her boyfriend, who was ironically an enemy of the state. Jai was on a diplomatic mission to Dreisden at the time, a Nazi nation that he as a former Jew would normally have nothing to do with. The news reached him and he came home for the funeral. After that, he was a broken man. He molded his father's corporation into a technological empire, but for what? He used his clout to make his daughter and himself immortal, but he later learned that this was part of what caused the dementia surrounding her death. A year later his second wife, Eris, left him because he simply became too distant. He had nothing left to live for, and no ammount of material wealth could win him back what he had lost. He died a lonely man, a broken man, and empty shell of what he once was.

CEO Johnathan Tetragammaton (his friends called him "Jove") kept a picture on his desk of Jai Resi in his prime. Young, invigorated, and of course still alive. Tetragammaton had been appointed by the late CEO Narasagi, who, in a fit of dementia on her deathbed, chose the most capitalistic man on her staff to fill her shoes. He was approved by a corporate comittee grateful to have someone to restore faith to the Resi name, and he took the office by storm. The factories were up and running again, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free didn't, and everyone was payed exactly as much as they deserved for their job. At the end of his first week, John had already brought Resian stock up to its avarage value during the golden age of Jai. It was the stuff history books are made of.

((OOC: Well, my nation died for a while, so I figured it'd be for the best if he was to die too and give the whole thing a fresh start. Besides, there was nowhere to go for Jai but downhill.))

These days were truly busy ones. Not only was this statement a bland representation of what was going on, but it was a gross understatement of the colossal burden thrust upon John by the past adminstration. He had oil meetings here, infrastructure revamp sessions there, and the small matter of busting up the costly social experiments his predecessor had running on the Resi Corporation's otherwise quite useful space stations. Orbit Bay had long sense been over-run by what CEO Narasagi called "a vast experiment in selective breeding and social formation via a utopian situation", but what everyone else called an idiotic waste of money that could be used to make new stuff. That was pretty much verbatum what John thought of it at the time. At any rate it was now his turn to clean out the garbage, and clean it he did. He proved quite adept at his job in these first two weeks, and having delegated all essential functions to other people to take care of for him, he decided that now was the best time to re-establsh a presence in the world. He could host a lavish gala to show the world the splendor and wealth of the corporation, or he could sink some small uninhabited island as a showing of brute force and raw power. The correct path had to lie between the two, although that was a pretty good bet sense just about everything lay between those two extremes. Then it struck him.

In the final days of Jai Resi he had replaced a large portion of Resi Tower with the most advanced spaceship the Resi Corporation had ever created. Essentially a heavily modified AR-1 GODHAND (http://members.cox.net/resicorp/godhand.htm), the ship was dubbed the AR-2 RIGHTHAND. The outside of the ship was plated with Carbon-60 buckyballs for unmatched armor, and the weapons systems were unsurpassed by any the corporation had created sense the glory days. What's more, the Chaos shifter that a normal Godhand would use to transport itself between dimensions and galaxies had been modified to draw power not only from the ship's internal power drive, but from the city's entire power grid, essentially being able to move the whole of Resi City through the fabric of reality. This was all in theory of course, and was considered to be a last ditch effort in case of invasion.

But John wasn't going to chaos-shift his capital just to show the world how great the Resi Corporation was. That's what anyone with two braincells to rub together would call suicide. He was just going to take a bunch of otherwise planet-locked world leaders and chaos-shift them around the galaxy in his capital building. Like a glass-bottom boat tour, but viewed through the lens of madness. Of course this was 100% safe, as the Resi Corporation used chaos-shifting as often as Jai changed undies back in the golden days, but it would still be insanely impressive.

And so, John had his secretary draft invites right away.
