The Arabula Virus is a mix of the Ebola virus, the "common cold" that mutates, and the flesh eatting decease.

It is a quick, effective way of whiping out those who oppose you, as it spreads by air, kills with pain within days, by litterally eatting your skin away, and melting your insides into liquid.

It is cruel, but extremely good, as its incubation period is two-three days. It is not caught right away, thus spread quickly. With it mutating, it is hard to fine a cure, with the Ebola, there is no cure.

Price: $400/ounce

TG me if you wish it to be secret!

Interesting................while promoting a peace conference to stand down the proliferation of WMD, you promote the sale of WMD's. Not exactly an intelligent bit of timing......

I am selling the virus, not the means to deliver it. Same thing as selling a container of radiation. We're not selling nuclear missiles.

And, again, I may sell what I wish.

Egypstan, why are you selling biological weapons. This will destabilize the world by placing powerful weapons in the hands of rouge nations and/or terrorists. The Commonwealth insists you desist immediately.

Belem would be interested in purchasing a pound of this virus.

That's like Al Capone saying "I didn't kill the guy, I just ordered it done."

By undertaking in such activities, Egypstan, you run the risk of losing much credibility. It is your sovereign right to do whatever you wish with the items you produce, but by producing such items, you make them available to other parties--most predominantly of which are terrorists. This action, in turn, arms the terrorist organizations with lethal new weapons. It is within the sovereign right of other nations to halt your proliferation of WMD's so that indiscriminate terrorist groups do not endanger them. We recommend, in the best interests of peace, that you halt the sale of these items. If you refuse, this will only serve to further galvanize your opposition and push more moderate and neutral nations to the other side.

We are willing to make this sell.

That is not so. We have not ordered, or ask, for this to be used against people.

We will stop the sell.

Secret IC: We will sell secretly.

Money is wired Egypstan.

Is it possible to purchase the antidote/a antidote for this disease?

I would like you all to know that a few months (read: decades) ago a nation produced and sold "Self-mutating Anti-bodies". These can adapt and effectivly disble any disease within a day, at most. While I do not own production rights to SMA, my nation has developed a similar product called NA (Nano Anti-bodies). I am willing to sell a reproducable nanite in a private TG.

The genetic manipulators in Cauthu Arn are stumped as to how you managed to cross breed virii and bacteria.

OOC: and I'm stumped as to how to not get the error page 5 times a minute when posting on here :|

We cation nations not to buy products like this from Egypstan.

Biotech leaders at MMI totally agree. We believe this so called "Arabula virus" to be a hoax. First of all, this would not be a virus since it's host is a flesh-eating bacteria. Additionally, bacteria do not spread quickly by airborne routes. Second, Ebola and Rhinovirus do not utilize streptococci as a host. Third, these virus' cannot replicate their RNA's through this organism. Last, even if streptococci could be engineered to accomodate RNA replication of these viral genomes, the bacteria would die and be no longer useful.

Bottom line -- Do not buy this stuff. You're just throwing your money away.

OOC: You can have a virus dormant inside bacteria as a host cell don't know how effective that is but its possible.

OOC: Yes, but those are called bacteriophages. Ebola and Rhinovirus cannot be propagated this way since they utilize mammalian cells as host.

I will pay 1 billon for 2,500,000 ounces of this virus.
