announcer: the following is a paid commerical for the fiefdom of industrized serfs heavy industries.
-------------
*cue theme music, over a breif image sequence of the various products and people of f.i.s.h.i.
*scene of a well appointed executive office. man sits on the corner of the desk. he stands up
lord n'turi iii: hi, i'm lord n'turi the third, and i run the fiefdom of industrized serfs heavy industries, or fishie. when fishie was created, lord holland i, attached the motto "give a man a fish and he has meat for a day and soup for two. teach a man to fish and he can build an industry". at fishie we still believe that the motto. but, like many people you are probably wondering what does fishie do. well lets have a look.
*the sound of a fork-lift driving into the room. it sounds like it is operating well past its design limits, and pretty close to its structural limits. a large book held up by the forks appears, and is placed on the desk. it is large, bound in brown leather, and has "f.i.s.h.i. product list volume 1" in gold on the spine. n'turi looks at the book, as if surprised by its side.
*the forklift operater appears with a clip board.
operator: i'll have volumes 2 to 5 up here shortly.
*takes the clipboard out of the operator's hand
n'turi: i asked for the paper version, not the electronic one.
*the operator scrathes her head under the hard hat
operator: it wouldn't fit through the doors. let alone getting that lot up here would take all week.
n'turi: don't worry about it. you don't need to bring the rest.
*the desk collapses under the weight of the book
*n'turi walks to the left.
n'turi: well, let's try the other question. what doesn't fishie do?
*an arm with a piece of paper appears. n'turi takes the piece of paper. he turns it over, to check the back. he turns it back over.
n'turi: it isn't a long list. but, unfortunately fishie doesn't do windows.
*new scene, a design office
n'turi: fishie employs the best engineers, scientists, technologists, and technicians that we can find. not only do we look for the best in technical skills. we look for the best in creative talents as well.
*n'turi turns to the engineer working at his right
n'turi: what are you working on?
engineer: i'm designing a retrofit for fossil fueled power generating stations. the idea is to replace the fossil fuel burners and boilers with fusion powered boilers. not only will it reduce the reliance on such fuels with associated environmental benefits. but it will increase the sales of our variously sized fusion bottles.
n'turi: excellent
*new scene, shop floor, a rather busy looking shop floor
n'turi: here at fishie we build the equipment that you end up using. we aim for the best equipment from the best materials, shaped by the best skills.
*n'turi turns to the shop foreman, visible in the immediate background
n'turi: looks busy. what's the current project here.
*the forman turns around
forman: busy? you should see this place when we get a big job come down, and we're back logged. we got an order for five stock metal mills. nothing terribly fancy. we build the equipment, package it up, and ship it out. this order didn't need any fancy customizations, so it will go out pretty fast. but customizations, aren't much of problem.
*new scene, a sloping lecture theater. the instructor is standing infront of the blackboard wiping the day's lecture off.
n'turi: not only do we design and build, we teach as well. to get the best use out of any equipment that you purchase from us, it pays to have your personnel trained in that equipment as well. our instructors, have not only academic training, but have field experience in all aspects of the equipment that they are training in.
*n'turi turns to the instructor
n'turi: what was today's program?
instructor: a small group learning about the f-mhd power plant series. they are on break right now. this morning was the 10 megawatt version. after the break they will head out to the labs to get hands on experience and training on it as well. much of the knowledge transfers throughout the entire f-mhd line, and the f-st line as well.
*new scene, a construction site. a bulldozer rumbles by in the background.
n'turi: installtion. perhaps, the most important step in the whole process. without it, you have a large number of crates, and a rather thick instruction manual. at fishie, we can install and assemble the equipment that you purchase from us. depending on your wants and needs we can tailor the installation to your needs. anywhere from everybody in the process is fishie personel, to a few fishie advisors to you in the process.
*an engineer steps out of the hut in the immediate backgroud. she walks over to n'turi.
n'turi: what is being built here?
engineer: we're installing a series of 100 megawatt f-mhd power plants. most of the people are locals, but many of the foremen are fishie personnel. food's not to bad either. a lot of the people working under me think the same thing. i'm going to have to see if i can't get some of the cooks to sign on at the end of this project.
*new scene, the office at the start. the desk is still a small pile of debris.
n'turi: that was a brief tour of fishie. i hope that you will consider us the next time you are looking to undertake a large industrial project. we can provide just about anything that you will need to complete it. the easy way to remember if fishie can meet your needs, is "we don't do windows."
*cue theme music. over a breif image sequence, different from the intro series. of the various products and people of f.i.s.h.i. the credits roll over the visual sequence.
