Houses of Parliament, Cyro
"So you're telling me, that you can effectively remove this building from space and time entirely, and make it pop back at will?" it was the incredulous voice of the Dyellian High Chancellor, Eamon Collins, that echoed through his office, across the desk from him one of the other two men nodded enthusiastically.

"Yes, yes." the speaker was a grey haired balding man, his choice of clothing - an old suit and garrishly coloured tie, reflected his slow slipping away from the reality in which most humans exist, "...well it's less remove it from space and time and more make it so that people don't notice it's here."

The Chancellor gave the Minister for the Occult a baffled look, then shook his head, "Well I can't say I understand you Claudius, but I'm sure what you lot are doing will prove useful in time...as for now, we will debate the subject at hand. The technological issue."

The third man cleared his throat, unlike the so-called 'Minister of the Occult', the head of the Cheka was a very well presented man, in an immaculate field grey uniform with blue piping, "Well Thorg's attempt to become Federal Minister of Technology is vastly oppossed by Alcona and Hubris, and they are very influencial, I'd rate his chances of success as no greater than 50 percent, as such it is important we act on a State level to bridge the technological gap that exists between us and many of our would-be invaders. The simplest and most effective method we can employ is to send out a letter to well...every state we know of, offering contract work in getting Dyelli Beybi's infrastructure and military up to scratch."

Collins nodded, "I see that as the best option, but remind any would be investors that we are only interested in aquiring military hardware if we can also aquire liscence to build a similar if not identical equipment. Also include something to tell them we have good hard cash, oil and minerals if they don't like Kronors...oh and of course eternal goodwill."

The Head of the Cheka nodded, while Collins shot an icy glare at the Minister for the Occult who was distractedly levitating table ornaments.

To: Whomever it may concern
From: The Klatchian Territory of Dyelli Beybi
Subject: Technology

Dyelli Beybi has until this point regarded itself as technologically advanced, however we have recently encountered Nations with technology far in advance of our own and in essence, we regard it as essential that we aquire new technology for the continued survival of both our State and the Nation of Klatch overall.
Therefore it is our wish to purchase technologies for civil (in particular more advanced fuel systems) as well as military purposes in order to push Dyelli Beybi into the future. In particular we need some form of ballistic missile shield to protect our Nation, although all technologies will be accepted. The only technology we are uninterested in is that of space faring craft, although some form of space defence network would be highly beneficial.
We hope that this will serve to strengthen diplomatic ties as well as bring our State forward, while enriching those willing to donate such technology. We assure any such donors that they will win a good and solid ally in Dyelli Beybi.
Dyelli Beybi is willing to pay in hard currency (Klatchian Kronors, accepted all over Klatch) or alternatively in the form of oil, tungsten or iron, our main natural resources. We can also pay in such comodities as glass or agricultural goods, although we doubt these are as useful.
Dyelli Beybi awaits your reply,

Signed

Commisaar Felix Dzerzhinsky, Head of the Cheka


(OOC) Basically Dyelli Beybi is a modern-tech nation hoping to go futuretech, without bothering to RP discovering everything.

Thundercorp is willing to help you, although we cannot give production rights to some of our equipment we can sell them for some. Of course, discounts do not apply for production right costs, and we reserve the right to refuse to sell you any items we feel should not be sold. Please browse our catalog and get back to us.

(OOC) Definantely not! I watched Star Trek about 5 times and didn't like it, I'm quite picky about what I watch and I thought it was somewhat lacking in plot lines.

We need every sort of technology available. Dyelli Beybi is a country with a 2020 military and 1960 infrastructure.

(IC) Dyelli Beybi wishes to greet Finnish Technocracy with the greatest enthusiasm. We are however slightly sceptical of this 'machine cult'. Dyelli Beybi is a majority Roman Catholic/Islamic State, we hope that such a religion would not inspire any form of civil unrest with the existing ones.

After repeated requests for what we are interested in we have decided a list would be of use to concerned Nations

1)We are sorely in need of new power supplies for the National grid along with new and more advanced Communication systems, as well as more efficient vehicles and advanced computers.

2)We are not interested in hydrogen powered personal vehicles however a more efficient combustion engine for petrochemical fuels is desired. We believe it would be possible to greatly increase the level of complete combustion in an engine effectively removing carbon-monoxide emissions. We believe this could also be adapted to military vehicles.

3)We also wish to work on plasma propelled kinetic rounds for use in vehicle cannons.

4)Our scientists are currently working on a titanium compund iterspersed with copper and tungsten latices as a vehicle armour, although we would also be interested in energy shields for armour.

5)All advances in radar, sonar and counter measures would also be of great interest.

6)We are currently unable to produce a supercavitating submarine although we are assured it can be done.

7)Our current space defences are more dangerous to our own weather sattelites than enemy vessels. Any and all advances in this regard would be greatly apreciated.

8)Our aircraft are in serious need of an overhaul, most fighters are around 20 years old at this stage.

9)We need a missile defence system - A highly effective one capable of minimising the threat of short wave ballistic missiles as well as ICBMs.

10)Finally we need better weapons and powered armour for the infantry, preferably in a form which is readily camouflageable.

11)Any other technologies would also be apreciated.

I may have an answer for your first item on your list.

Please follow this link:

If you are interested please contact me.

Well, I could supply a few of the technologeies you would like. Specifically the anti-missile system, a super-cavitating sub, and a new set of aircraft.
you should TG me, I probably won't find this thread again.

hmmm nice weak nation. New supple nah i wouldnt get away with it, dam the meddling ESUS.

Powered armor? I have lots of that. :P You can check out our 'selection' Here (http://s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall/index.php?showtopic=28), or I can custom build a suit just for your nation.

IC: The Nazi Utopia is always intrested in new customers. If you wish powered armor and infantry weapons, you may check out the Central Facehuggerian Arms Coalition. If you require more...customized equipment, we can provide that as well.

Check out the International Mall, here (s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall).

Bump.

We thank all Nations for their offers, we are working through them one by one. We are particularly interested in the Central Facehuggeria products, however at this stage none meet our exact needs.

What we are looking for, in the way of powered-armour is a relatively discreet suite which does not add substantially to the bulk of the wearer. Some limited armour is preferable, however the primary necesity is to allow the movement of a larger kit and to allow the user to safely fire a larger weapon. Idealy the wearer should still be able to mount and ride a horse or camel.

In excess to this we require built in IR detection equipment.

We are also interested in an infantry weapon (or series of weapons) particularly an extreme high velocity kinetic weapon (possibly plasma propelled). We are also interested in the possibility of an infantry weapon capable of firing HESH rounds for use against armoured infantry.

Most importantly, we wish to hire Central Facehuggerian contractors to upgrade our factories.

IC: We shall see what we can do, but we can assure you that this armor you request will not provide as much protection as a full suit of powered armor.

As for the weapons you seek: We can manufacture a heavy-gauss cannon for you. We're not sure how reliable it will be though. We perfer to change the individual bullet to make it more effective, as opposed to changing the speed through exotic methods.

On a related note, what is a HESH round? We understand that it pierces armor, but we know little more than that.

Lastly, how do you want us to overhaul your factories? Would you like us to gear them towards a specific type of production? (Ie: Vehicles, armor, etc.)

The Five Civilized Nations may be able to provide your nation state-of-the-art jamming, stealth, and cloaking technology in order to allow your vessels to achieve surprise. In addition, we may also be able to provide sophisticated AI and computer technology.

We are extremely interested in this. If we can get a price range for production rights, and further details on the pruducts available it will be fast tracked.

B is for BUMP

Wraith Platinum Cloaking Device--Full Production Rights Cost: US$1.23 trillion

This cloaking system is the first of its kind designed specifically for warships 1-2 kilometers in size. First utilized aboard the powerful Tsunami Class Battleship, a 1.564 kilometer long behemoth packing more weaponry than ships twice its size, the Tsunami is the first dedicated cloaking vessel in the Combined Five Civilized Nations Navy.

This Wraith cloaking device is revolved around the vessel's central processing core or AI. In the case of the Tsunami, the AI is a powerful twenty-third generation Exodus AI, which operates at a speed of 200 zettaflops or 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 operations per second. The fastest operating AI system utilized by the Five Civilized Nations, the Exodus AI specifically controls the Wraith System to completely disappear from all normal types of views (standard, infrared, electromagnetic, etc.).

The Wraith Cloaking Device accomplishes its job by gravitational lensing, the creation of a distorted image of an object when it's light is focused by gravity. In the case of a cloaking device, the light is focused so that the object's index of refraction (the phase velocity of radiation in free space divided by the phase velocity of the same radiation in a specified medium) matches its surroundings, making the object basically transparent.

The Wraith Cloaking Device controlled by the Exodus AI precisely balances any radioactive emissions, dissipating all electromagnetic radiation, gravitational fields and other energy emissions emanating from the ship, and distorting space in such a way that electromagnetic radiation and energy emissions are directed around the ship through subspace at velocities faster than light.

Twenty-Second Generation Exodus AI--Full Production Rights Cost: US$1.5 trillion

Utilized primarily in some of the latest generation warships, the Twenty-second generation of the powerful Exodus is not the most powerful AI computer system that the Five Civilized Nations utilizes for its vessels, it is still an extremely fast system capable of performing 50 zettaflops per second or 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 operations per second.

Dyelli Beybi will gladly purchase the Exodus AI, all we request are contractors to upgrade our facilitators and educate our engineers.

The Wraith is however of little interest at this stage as the largest warships as yet considered by Dyelli Beybi are some 400m long. A smaller (and cheaper) system would be purchased gladly.

(OOC: I just realized I sold you one of the world's fastest processing units for US$1.5 trillion... Meaning, very cheaply... Damn't... If you don't mind I would need to raise the cost to about US$10 trillion since the actual cost of each unit is about US$250 billion.)

(OOC) Sure it's not like DB is strapped for cash.

so can we assmune that sale has gone through FCN?

(IC) Dyelli Beybi wishes to greet Finnish Technocracy with the greatest enthusiasm. We are however slightly sceptical of this 'machine cult'. Dyelli Beybi is a majority Roman Catholic/Islamic State, we hope that such a religion would not inspire any form of civil unrest with the existing ones.

The Finnish Technocracy assures that no civil unrest would be inspired by us. We are quite tolerant about different religions and our doctrine conserns, not afterlife nor sins, but present archievements and progress of science. So, you can rest assured that our cult will not partake in any action directed agains any of your religions, cults or other spiritual organisations.

so can we assmune that sale has gone through FCN?

Yes...

As part of your purchase, five of these Exodus AIs will be transported to you for immediate usage along with design specifications.

We are offering the Super Magnetic Accelerator Cannon planetary defense gun.

Super Magnetic Accelerator Cannon (S-MAC)

The Feazanthian S-MAC is used as a final defense weapon in planetary defense. It is large, needs a lot of power, and packs the firepower of a fleet of starships.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v296/dafeaz/future%20tech/v_pillar.jpg

Length: 583.2 meters
Width (body): 124.5 meters
Width (barrel): 87.2 meters
Power (12 guns): Planetary based S-class "Omega" fusion reactor {1.5 kilometers}
Shot size: 30,000 tons
Shot speed: 1/2 SoL
Unassisted Reloads: 30
Cost per unit: 350 billion galactic standard dollars

Al-Imvadjah FT has some of the best orbital shipyards in the universe. we could build you a replica and sell it to you for $25 trillion. This would end your reliance on imported space vehicles. We also could sell you the design for the reactor that powers our battleship for $100 billion. these are probably far more powerful than anything you have now.

Dyelli Beybi will transport the money immediately. As we are aware that Klatchian Kronors may not be useful to the Government of FCN we are willing to convert this money into raw materials (ie metal ores) if this is preferable? Otherwise you may consider the money wired. In excess to this the Government extends it's thanks and offers it's full support in any possible conflicts FCN may become involved in in the future. The military of Dyelli Beybi will be on call if it is needed.

One question on this weapon. We are wondering what you mean by 1.5 km when describing the reactor? The other question is is the gun to be set up in planetary orbit or on the ground? We assume it is some form of high powered kinetic weapon. We are however highly interested in this. We feel it is exactly what we need for planetary defence. We will make the purchase provided we can also purchase the reactor to power the gun.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Government of Al-Imvadjah,
We are willing to purchase both the reactor and the shipyards. We are however, going to be unable to operate either. As such we also wish to hire personnel from your Nation to train Dyellian engineers in the new technology. The only other issue is that of payment for the shipyards. The Government of Dyelli Beybi wishes to know if it is possible to pay for the shipyards in three yearly installments of 10 trillion (bringing a total of 30 trillion) rather than one lump payment of 25? This would free up funds for other essential purchases.

The standard design for an Omega reactor means the facility housing it is 1.5 kilometers long and usually about a dozen stories high. These plans will be included at no extra cost. The gun itself is orbital, as firing through the atmosphere would reduce kinetic energy. This gun can take out most capital ships with a single shot.

We will gladly include technitions to instruct your workers. Any payment plan is fine. Due to the size of the structure, it will be delivered and constructed in shipments, the first to arrive in 2 (NS) months (tommorrow), Then we will be finished with construction in another 4-5 months (monday). The first technitions to instruct will be at there immediately.

To the Government of Feazanthia,
We wish to purchase 6 of these planetary defence guns and one of these reactors to power them. We are also interested in production rights so that we are able to increase the number of guns at our own discretion.

To the Government of Al-Imvadjah,
You may consider the money wired, unless you would rather trade currency for raw materials or mining contracts? Dyelli Beybi extends it's gratitude and wishes to let it be known, that once our Rennaisance is complete, will be at the call of Al-Imvadjah in times of military strife.

(OOC: I'm going to be starting a technology thread for all the technology I've been creating pretty soon, so if you want, you can shop there... Also if you need warships check out the Cala Naval Yards (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=341590))

Order of six S-MACs comes to 2.1 trillion.

Production rights for the S-MAC come to 35 trillion.

Have you ever thought about joining the Extra-Solar Union of Systems?

Hard currency is fine.

35 trillion is well beyond our price range. We will suffice with the six we have ordered, although it is being earmarked for a possible Federal purchase. The money may be considered wired to both concerned Governments.

While we thank you for the offer we are quite happy with the FKC (OOC: The FKC is basically one gigantic Nation, Dyelli Beybi is one of the more ... noted States in it) at this point, although some form of Alliance between the ESUS and The Nation of Klatch is a possibility.

OOC: FCN I'd be rather interested in that. Just give us the link when it's up and you'll get plenty of technology shopping ;)

Two more items have recently been added to Dyelli Beybi's shopping cart.

1) An extreme long range, small space exploration craft. Weapons are not neccessary. We also require blueprints.

2) A large transport ship for movement of colonists to a new planet. Klatch is enormously overcrowded. The whole Federation of States is in need of a place to rellocate a large number of citizens. We require as large a craft as possible, we do not require it to be military. We do require blueprints.

3) Powered armour. The exact specifications of which were mentioned earlier (OOC: Flick back a couple of pages)

We, the Lords of the Enclave are disappointed that our fellow Klatchian State of Dyelli Beybi did not come to us with these requests.

Though you did not help defend us in the war with the Great Egotist Intelligence, and have attempted to foist a mere Orc into the halls of the Federation in Port Olympus, we would not gouge you like these Packleds have done.

You have shovled enough gold out of the Klatch these past few days. Enough, to buy this Terran Technology, these items of space from Nat're means being dependent upon the Nat're in the future. Shall we spoil the concept spoken of with awe and admiration in the Halls of the Klatch, with the second rate technology of these, these mere traders?

As a gesture of good will we will supply you with a space exploration vehicle and the training to use it properly.

Also, we would be willing to help pay for this A.I. technolgy if it were made a 'Federal' asset and installed in Port Olympus....where we can keep an eye on the foul things.

As for colony ships...you may borrow those which we used to venture to this planet. Obviously they are not built to Terran scale, but this should not be a problem in most cases.

Five Civilized Nations, we have heard much about you. Perhaps we should send an emmisary to have more 'formal' agreements with you.

Spokesman of the Council
Advisor to the Overlord.

Ah, the Lords of War... An interesting nation in which the Five Civilized Nations have had virtually no contact with.

We thank the Lords of War and wish to let it be known that we will accept all offers. We would of course had approached the Lords of War first had we not already met with hostility to the idea of uparming the majority of Klatch when approaching the Dukratians, and had the Cheka not deemed Lords of War territory "excedingly dangerous" for Dyellian diplomats.

Dyelli Beybi also wishes to remind the Lords of War that while we did not send soldiers to fight in the previous invasion this was not through lack of loyalty to Klatch, indeed the Cheka were involved in attempting to defeat the enemy AI through subterfuge and some of our best Generals put forward plans for campaigns to end the conflict. However, news had already reached us of the potential for an attack on Dyelli Beybi itself from our eternal enemies - The United Emirates.

The only proposition we are not entirely happy with is the one pertaining to the AI. In accordance with the deal reached with the Five Civilised Nations, we are recieving 5 AI units. We are willing to to part with 3 of the 5 units, however one has already been earmarked as a Cheka computer, another as due to be delivered to the Military Research Institute, also we wish to remind Klatch as a whole that the bill for the computers is already settled. If we receive a 50% refund from the original bill of $10 trillion - ie a 4.16 trillion Kronor refund we will hand over the remaining 3 AIs to the Federal Government.

We will commence shipments of steel and tungsten unless oil is preferable?

We will agree to those terms on one condition. That all A.I.'s be fitted with a small, manually controlled nuclear device. Or do you wish a dozel to rise up in your midst and take over your nation?

Now then, perhaps it is time to orginize a Federal exploration. Our records have indicated a planet suitable for Terran crops. However, it does have a few drawbacks. Such things should only be discussed in the halls of parliment and not here.

You're order of 12 Reapers are ready for immediate shipping. A payment of steel and/or tungsten will be perfect, as we are shifting power needs away from oil and towards prototype fusion reactors. If these models meet your testing requirements, we will immediately sell the design plans to you. If a response is recieved in short order, we will lower the price of the design plans to $6billion.

We feel the nuclear device is perhaps overkill. A somple manual device to cut power to the machine should be sufficient, if not a small explosive charge on the motherboard should suffice. Thus we would be able to retrieve parts ib the event of a malfunction while also minimising collateral damage. With the high cost of these machines we feel their complete destruction would prove very uneconomical for Klatch. What is more, Dyelli Beybi has no intention of building robotic soldiers at any time soon, so the potential for the machine to attempt world domination will be severely limited.


To the Nation of Akaton,
Initial tests are resoundingly positive. The design Bureau is particularly pleased with the ability to upgrade. Dyelli Beybi wishes to confirm it's intention to purchase the design rights as well as purchase a further 12 models. The Government also extends it's gratitude and offer of assistance if ever required in the future.

(OOC: Pardon me for accelerating time a little bit there, it gets a little bit wearying though when things drag on for 3 or 4 weeks)


To the Government of Five Civilised Nations,
We thank you for your earlier offer, however, as we are sure you are aware, have recieved offers of craft meeting our specifications from the Lords of War. Do not, please take this as a complete rejection of your offer, indeed we hope we can still do business in future.

The Evil Empire of Akaton is pleased that our aircraft meet with your approval. The design plans have been shipped and should be arriving in your country within the hour. We thank you for being the first buyer of our new ling of aircraft. Should you ever need further military technology Akaton will be waiting to provide state of the art weaponry. We officially consider this transaction completed.
