Last night, a small team of government scientists who were performing some tests on some virus samples were involved in a freak accident in which they produced a small ammount of a substance called #22. All the scientists who were working with it were dead within 5 hours of exposure.

I have managed to secure 3 tubes of #22 which I will sell to the highest bidders who can then use them as they wish.

I bid $400,000 Because i have certain plans with your viruses.

1 million. Preferably buy it now option. (Heh. eBay is so easy to satirise)

1 Tube sold to Underwater Asylum for first serious bid. Two more tubes to go. You will recieve the sample in an armoured car when I recieve my money.

10,000,000 per tube.

(As a buy it now option..)

$50,000,000 USD for a single tube, also contingent on immediate sale.

As my saftey and prevention teams have cleared, another 6 tubes of #22 have been found. These are the final ones.

I will purchase them all for 100,000,000

Kotterdam. Purchase confirmed.

You will recieve the sample in an armoured car when I recieve the money.

Possessed, 1 billion to rescind previous order to Kotterdam.

Kotterdam. Sorry, order off. I will return your money. Buisness is buisness.


Doujin. What is your bid for the remaining 8 tubes?

The Dominion has dispatched a single C-130K to your capital, escorted by F-34A Perseus tactical fighters. We request a single tube of this virus. We are willing to pay Twenty Five billion United States Dollars for a single tube and the IMMEDIATE DESTRUCTION of all remaining tubes.

100 billion to disregard Kotterdam and all the tubes.

Last deal. No returns.

I agree to Kotterdam's demmands.

Quote: We are willing to pay Twenty Five billion United States Dollars for a single tube and the IMMEDIATE DESTRUCTION of all remaining tubes.

Pick up your tube from outside the government office. We will trade money for the tube there and then. I will give you the remaining tubes to dispose of as you see fit.

When the tail of the C-130K lowers, it's not a car, or even men on foot who leave - It's an IFV-2A Normandy Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Rolling to the government building, its troops collect the tubes and load them into the armoured vehicle before returning to the aircraft. On paying for the tubes, the Dominion troops lift off for return to Kotterdam, where all but a single tube will be destroyed. Work then begins on a preventative vaccine for the disease. There will be no sales of the remaining stocks.

Doujin hereby places sanctions on Possessed Bunnies and Kotterdam. The purchase of the virus was for it's immediate destruction to keep from causing an outbreak, as we do not believe in biological weapons. Possessed Bunnies, we are appalled that you would even begin to sell Biological weapons on the open market..

The Dominion has no interest in biological warfare. Our weapons of mass destruction stocks are limited to nuclear and chemical weaponry. Our interest in the disease parallels that of Doujin, but takes it a step further. We are currently in the process of researching a vaccine for this disease, which will then be made available to all nations of the world in an attempt to neutralize the potential threat of the vials that were sold before either of us arrived on the scene.

We invite Doujin, and indeed the global community as a whole to send observers to the Dominion to oversee the research project and eventual destruction of the final remaining vial. The other vials of the series that were purchased by the Dominion have already been destroyed by irradiation and incineration. As well, we join Doujin in leveling trade sanctions against Possessed Bunnies.

The only other vial of #22 was sold to Underwater Asylum. I assume this was for reasearch purposes as well but it did not cross my mind at the point of sale to check this.

Please let me apologise for this. I will try and refund the money and have it returned to be destroyed.

It may still be possible for a NEST team to search for the missing virus, we would be willing to assit your attempts to find the virus, should you find out it has fallen into the wrong hands.

In exchange for full access to the facility where the virus was produced, and permission to oversee the sterilization of the site so that no further release of this disease is possible before the completion of our vaccine, the Dominion would be willing to lessen its trade sanctions on your nation.

Permission granted.
