The Empire begins weaponisation of AIDS

Huzen Hagen
24-03-2004, 18:15
Due to the widespread availability of anti-dotes and vacinces of many of the substances in our arsenal the empires scientists have begun the process of geneticly modifying AIDS in order to give it a killing capacity. This could just come in the form of speeding up the AIDS virus. You will be updated shortly

Due to that fact the fed union is appualed we here buy place sactions and arms embargos on your nation for doing so .

The emperor of unified sith is angered at this blatent attemp to destroy the human race. unlike other biological agents aids is passed through the generations so there is a chance that the entire human race could be destroyed. we ask that you desist now

The idea is for the bodies imune system to be destroyed rapidly before another strike or after the imune system has been destroyed the virus attacks other cells in the body. If the virus meets expectations the host will be dead within days.

Unlike Unified Sith, we do not merely advise you to do things.

Huzen Hagen, you are hereby ordered to either of the following:

1) Modify Aids to destroy its transmission methods

2) That you desist with your developments immediatly.

Failure to do so, will result in a full response by the government of the Republic of Austar Union.

OOC:
Even if you "speed up" the HIV, it doesn't kill on its own, it only invades and destroys the immune system, and makes the person susceptible to many different infections. In the past, most deaths were inflicted by tuberculosis and other serious infectious deceases. Most of them are now treated and turned into cronic mild deceases, as it is also the over growth of HIV in blood with drugs, which can make infected people live quite a long life if treated in time.

To make it a bacteriological weapon (reallistically) you would have to combine it with a lethal virus or bacteria, and as you say most of your b-arsenal has been neutralized, you'd have to come up with something new anyway. And that if you don't count on anyone coming up with a cure or at least a way of lowering the lethality of the decease, what is posible since you seem to be RPing nearby-future tech.
Huzen Hagen
24-03-2004, 18:55
OOC:I am aware that aids only destroys the imune system so thats why im modifying it.

IC: Our scientists wish to combine several diseases to bring out the best in them all , the ability of AIDS to destroy the imune system, the infectiusness and leathality of smallpox and the protein jacket and leathality of Anthrax. We may introduce a fith letter to the gentic code in orcer to achieve this

So it is not my business if someone declares they will combine the worst diseases in the world as a weapon?

Also by your logic, we had no right to protest the Holocaust because it wasnt our business.

You can proteset when they USE it...not MAKE it...you can object but not take force
Fluffywuffy
24-03-2004, 19:06
By the time they use it it would be too late. Such an infectious disease is a threat to the sentient beings of this world.

And because the USSR didnt use the nukes in Cuba we had no right to protest them by your logic.
Huzen Hagen
24-03-2004, 19:07
we understand the concerns of others, this will be a weapon that will only be in the possetion of ourselves or our closest ally

Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is? AIDS as weapon? Ha! The only weapon of danger you probably possess is yourself, which is as destructive as a nuclear bomb. In fact, here's an idea, use your nuclear bombs on yourself and blow your nation up. If my advanced health teacher Mr. Ogle could read this, AIDS as weapon! Bah! I protest this, and I believe that is my right.

OOC:
The protest of Clanicka is for the same reason I posted the OOC message before, HIV cannot be used as a biological weapon as other virus and bacteria can. I like to think that even if this is a game, good players try to keep things realistic.

I understand your desire to develop a significant military weapon to protect your country. However, we ask, as the Shadowed One's vectors in the world, that you not tamper with the AIDS virus, as the Shadowed One himself sent this fine virus to deal with the homosexuality problems confronting planet Earth today.

Consider using whooping cough or polio viruses, which were set forth by the Shadowed One for future use in forms at the discretion of responsible standard committees.

The Glorious Empire of Xariad hereby pledges its full support in the battle against Huzen Hagen's mad quest to develop these biological weapons. Xariad and its allies will enforce all sanctions and embargoes placed on Huzen Hagen by the other nations who also stand against this insanity which seeks to bring end to humanity. The Empire will not stand for this. The leaders of the region "The Imperial Union of Zial" will meet shortly to discuss if the entire region stands together against this mad plot. This madness must end!

OP

Last time I checked, world-wide HIV/Aids infections occured in heterosexuals than homosexuals,.


And Huzen Hegan, listen to me. If you do not stop immediatly, I will lead a coaliation against your land.. even though we were talking about an alliance. HIV / Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is not something to mess with. Already it is a world wide epidemic (not so much in Doujin, luckily) and has a severe infection rate. Release of HIV as a weapon would not only be ineffective, as HIV itself cannot (I don't care how good your pathologists are) do damage, the syndrome it induces (Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) does severe damage. And the thing is.. only ONE person needs to get out of the intended combat area.. if you lower the incubation time for HIV and allow it to instantly give people AIDS.. then think whati t would do to the world?

(OOC: I cannot and willnot stand for you using HIV/AIDS as a biological weapon, Huzen. I volunteer at the McLean County AIDS Taskforce and I witness firsthand the suffering people go through as they struggle to live their lives. Do you know how painful it is, and how hard it is for people with AIDS? When people find out.. they are shunned most the time. A simple COLD puts them into the hospital. No, Huzen, don't go there.)

OOC: Hm... by talking to some people in the know about this sort of thing it's pretty safe to say that currently it's not in the realms of possibility.

So I can't see this being Modern Tech, or even Post-Modern tech really... so it's not my problem. Just use Ebola like everyone else, thats a bastard and it's highly effective.

Why, are you threatening to release an obscenely dangerous pathenogen into the biosphere? Although Kanuckistan's biomedical sector could undoubtedly stop the virus cold, the casualties would undoubtedly border on terracidal in scope and scale.

With this in mind, we will have no choice but to immediatly glass your nation, should this come to blows; a motion to preemptivly incinerate your lands was only narrowly defeated moments ago.

We promise that the Continental Empire will crush your nation into the ground if you don't stop the research right now.

The Imperial Department of Defence has order the moblisation of the Aurion Fleet, this includes fully armed 5 Final Revolution class SBBMPs , 5 Imperal Class Aircraft Carriers, nurmerous supporting Cruisers, Destroyers, Landing crafts and Supply Ships and 30 Subs.
We are moblising 800,000 troops to stage a full-scale invasion if needed.

It is well within our belief that your nation cannot stand by yourself against such a coalition, and we will be issuing an official ultimatum shortly...
Imperial Forces
25-03-2004, 07:46
The Fleet is currently leaving the Port of Aumursk on.

It will take approx 2R/L Days to reach Huzen Hagen, at which point, if they haven't surrended all of the research marterial and stop the creation of the super virus, we will stage an annexing of the nation.

If any of the virus is used againist our troops, we will be forced to do a full-scale attack on your nation to make sure any souce of the virus is gone. This means we shall level entire cities to ashes no matter what the civilian loos.

I want to set things strait, you all seem to think that i want to wipe out the world by realising an improved starin of AIDS. That would be a stupid idea. If yu read again i am crossing several viruses to create a 'super virus' that has the ability to infect swathes of peole withind days and then kill them all to prevent further outbreaks. Those who say this is future tech, scientists have already created new forms of simple life by adding a fifth letter to the genetic code.

25-03-2004, 19:21
OOC: I suppose I can understand a improved version of the Aid/HIV virus, but I can't see any modern tech way of making it into a good bio-weapon.

So I'm either:

A) Don't care because it's not really all that effective.

B) Ignore it because the technology needed to make it as effective as Ebola or Small Pox, doesn't exist.


You can RP it however you want as that is your right, but it's my right to ignore things I don't rate much.

OOC:
Where did you hear this bit about a 5th letter iRL? We're no where near that level of biotech(besides, wouldn't you have to add a 6th to go with the 5th? Pairing and all, tho I supose it could pair with itself); I was going to let it slide as 'really bad science that shouldn't effect the RP tangibly' until you made the claim they've done it RL.

OOC: Ah, yes, that; been a while sense Bio12. Sure it's adding a letter and not just replacing?

Anyway, the potential for mutation is there, and in fact, that is what makes AIDS(or the common cold, for that matter) so hard to treat; it's always mutating. And an incubation/infectout perod of days is plenty of time to start a pandemic; if mutation legnthened it, it would only spread faster.

I'd still going to carpet nuke you if you release that thing, even if I'd ICly belive you without hard proof.
