[OOC note: I'm not really the most active NS player, but if you have an order, send me a TG so I know I should check this.

This storefront is in need of an overhaul...]

Owing to the popularity and variety of orders from the Design-A-Person™ Storefront (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=331760&page=1&pp=15), the Genetic Engineering Center of Solid Water is once again proud to cut the red ribbon to our new storefront. For concerned countries (Ex: Scandanavian States) you will be able to take a look at the patented processes and techniques used during the designing of your order! Find out why we have the best programmers and psychologists money can buy working alongside our scientists! Find out how we manufacture our newest offering, the neovirus! If you have a request for something that these offerings do not compare to, please ask our friendly marketing division.

Design-A-Person™
Wanting a few more specimens of that "perfect race?" Wanting elite soldiers with four arms? Wanting those fighter pilots in dual-seated fighters to "put their heads together" and work more as one entity? Need snipers with deadly accuracy?

Today is your chance to get any, or all, of the above! Just specify the characteristics of your desired person, and we will do the rest!

Features available include, but are not limited to,
More/less limbs (higher/lower ability to do work)
Higher awareness (perfect soldier)
Higher dexterity (sniper)
Higher intellectual ability (intellectually capable)
Any eye/hair color of the visible spectrum (cosmetic reasons)
More than one head (two-for-one options)
More/less compassion (perfect companion/ruthless soldier)
Any eye structure (cosmetic reasons, we do anime eyes)
Any age at delivery/pickup (decreases waiting time)
Taller/shorter (various reasons)
More/less weight (various reasons)
Additional hearts (backup(s))
Additional/specialized lungs (backup(s)/"purification" lung)
Increased regeneration rate (quicker healing)
Trained with any weapon/skill (various reasons)
and much much more!

We will also, if told to, implant any equipment into your person (such as better eyes or computerized tags for your convenience).

If you have a special gene that you would like your order to possess, please send a sample of the gene with your order.

If you do not specify a category in your order, we will assume that you do not wish that category altered. (I.E. It is unnecessary to state "Normal limb count" in your order.)

Minor changes to normal humans (only cosmetic changes) will cost less than the full "perfect soldier."

We only have the capacity for 100 Design-A-Person™ specimens at one time.

Standard creation time is a week, delivery is airborne. You can pick up your order yourself, if you so wish.

Prices start at $250 Million for each person ordered.

Note: If your ordered person has offspring, the offspring will have the modified traits. The traits are made to be dominant as to ensure expression in the end product.

Example
"4 assassins, 2 male, 2 female. High fertility. 4 arms. Incredibly high awareness, dexterity and intellect. Pitch-black eyes, flesh and hair; teeth must be pearl white. 24 years. 100 pounds, 6 feet. Compassion only towards the other three, me and my secretary Morkath (this must include loyalty). Must overcome pregnancy within a week. 20/18 (better than perfect, I surmise) vision in daylight and nightlight. Must be equipped with top hat and metal longstaff. Must have training in the fine art of assassinery." (Miratha)
$4 Billion.

Process
Having worked with many different species from across the world, including the human genetic code, we have compiled a "genetic library" for very many traits and behaviors. The process begins with our scientists specifying the traits that deviate from the norm (and randomizing traits that are not specified). The genetic code for the future being is created using a patented process by one of our machines and is inserted into a human egg cell and grown as a regular human would. The "delivery at age" is achieved with a cancer-like process that grows the proper body to the desired cutoff age. However, if the person were to be released from our growing center at this point, it would be merely an infant in an adult body. However, we use a revolutionary "life simulation" (for lack of a better name) process that simulates the life of your order. The simulation has been designed by the best programmers available and is constantly updated. The simulation runs extremely fast in compression to normal time, because of the speed of the interfacing between the brain and the program. We are able to pre-set conditions and alter conditions as time progresses. The process ends at the cut-off age of the physical body and inside the facility, so the person is not surprised to be in the facility. The training and experience (and wisdom, if you will) take place at this stage. The person who the simulation is run for is able to make his or her own decisions and has complete free will (aside from the events that happen in the simulation not relating to the person's choices). However, the person is prepared from early life to become what you have specified them to. If your order exceeds one person, and you specify your group to be able to work together, we can interface all of them in a simulation. When they are released from the growing center, they are given a contract to sign. Because of the simulation, however, the people will certainly sign the contract for whatever terms you wish. Should we need to, we can do some testing with them in the real world with our psychologists. If you wish (and wish to wait a day or two for completion) we can put them into a situation of your choice and film it for you so you can see your future agent.

Day 1-designing, creation of code and embryonic growth
Days 2-5 physical and mental growth
Day 6 - release from growth center
Day 7 - preparation for shipping, contract signing
(If you chose to run a real life simulation, the process will take longer)

Return policy
If for some reason you are unsatisfied with your order, you may return the person (i.e. fire them, unless your contract states a date) with an explanation of what went wrong and what could be improved. We will send you a replacement free of charge (if you follow this policy). If you wish to re-order an identical person, you may do that for 75% of the original's price. Please note that this return policy applies only to defects in the manufacturing.

Cloning
Clones have many uses. If you want a 100% compatible blood type or organ, your clone can have "spares" of whatever you want. If you wish to order a twin, we will need to interview you about your experiences so your clone can relate to you.

The process and return policies are basically the same.

We have a different set of growing vats for the clones, but we can still only grow only 100 per week.

Neovirus™
However deceiving the name may be, this is not a harmful virus. This is essentially a method of "gene therapy" in virus-form. The Neovirus™ has both DNA and RNA. The DNA codes for the desired trait and the RNA for the entire virus. The virus enters the cell (it is designed to enter only the type of cell that you specify) and replaces the genetic information needing to be replaced in the cell with the strand of DNA. It uses the RNA to create a few copies of the virus (which is treated like a normal protein by the cell) which gets exported through the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) like normal exported proteins.

All you need to specify is a trait that you wish to change in your specimens, and we will produce 10 10ml bottles of the desired neovirus™. The recommended dosage is 10ml (meaning that anything over that will not produce extra results and anything under that will not live up to the transformation speed), so you get 10 doses of the enhancement.

This virus was developed for Ximea who asked for "it to code for enhanced speed and agility, increased muscle mass, enhanced cardiovascular and muscular endurance, superior immune function, and accelerated metabolism" and "accelerated and enhanced tissue regeneration properties".

When ordering your neovirus™, please include the following specifications.

Cell type(s) that this should be able to modify
Trait(s) to modify
Type(s) of organism(s) this should be designed for
Dosage amount you wish to purchase

Prices start at $5 Million per 10ml.

Properties
The neovirus™ has been modeled after HIV (a retrovirus) and other viruses. It is spreadable only by injection. However, like HIV, the neovirus™ has an "infection" timeframe of about a week from injection. This means that the neovirus™ isn't transmittable by touch or casual contact, but is transmittable by sharing needles, sexual contact or blood-to-blood contact for a week after injection. However, after a week has passed, the virus is not produced any longer (see "transformation process") and is not transmittable. The doses are in a special liquid that enhances their longevity so that they may be properly injected. The neovirus™ in the liquid has a shelf life of 14 hours outside the bottle and is cable of being stored for 20 days inside the bottle.

Creation Process
The neovirus™ is created by specifying the traits on the computer, which then produces a few deadly copies of the virus. These deadly copy of the virus is much like HIV in the fact that they burst the cell they invade and release more of itself. However, these viri code for the end product, we just use these deadly strains to produce many more copies of the neovirus™. The deadly virus is placed on a culture of the cell the virus is designed to invade to create the end product. We repeat this until a sufficient quantity of the end product is produced. We then add the preserving liquid to the culture and bottle the product into what you will receive.

Transformation Process
The injected virus spreads through the bloodstream and body and finds suitable cells to infect. Once a suitable cell has been found, the virus gets inside the cell like any other virus. The DNA and RNA then go their separate paths. The RNA codes for the entire virus (DNA and RNA) and proceeds to make several copies of itself which are exported through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to find more cells to convert. The DNA, meanwhile, goes to attach itself to the cell's genetic code inside the nucleus where it becomes a part of the genome and becomes more visible for transcription than the gene that it replaces. The cell then begins to act with its altered gene which eventually reaches the end result. When the cell multiplies, the new gene is copied along with the DNA so the new cells do not need to be "re-infected".

Non-Human Subjects
If you so wish, the Genetic Engineering Center of Solid Water will gladly clone, design, enhance or produce Neovirus™ for non-human subjects of your specification.

The processes will be the same, but may take longer.

We only have lab space for 1,000 non-human growth vats at any one time.

Example
"...I would like an a9nimal with the speed of a cheetah, the regeneration abilities of a sponge, the lifespan of a tortoise (150+ years), the intelligence of a chimpanzee and dolphin, the memory of an elephant, the jaws of a hyena, the camouflage abilities of a chameleon, the cunning of a wolf, the swift reflexes of a mongoose, the ability to spit venom like a cobra, the echolocation of a bat, the ability to electrocute like an eel, a touch more poisonous than a Portuguese man-of-war, the strength of a polar bear, the ferocity of a tiger, the night vision of a cat, and the sense of smell of a bloodhound! I would like the animal to look like vaguely humanoid, only a bit reptilian and dinosaur-like. If you can make me 10,000 of these animals, I will pay handsomely!" -Roach-Busters

Hmmm...can you also genetically engineer extinct animals? Or splice animals' DNA together to create new ones?
UltraBioTechnology
27-07-2004, 07:36
If my hourable friend cannot - my country has the abilities to hone your personal skills to any animal you see fit.
For example, if you wish to be able to roar like a lion - for those that wish it - we can alter your vocal chords and give you an injection of hormones from a Lion. The end result is having Lion like characteristics, without actually being a lion.

We are also in the process of attempting to bring back deceased and extinct spieces, but as my friend knows - funds are running tight so the Animal Biological departments are finding themselves a little streched.

At the moment we are unable to give you a price tag, although we can do individuals for roughly $5000. I'd be able to say that my scientists would sell their secrets and forumlas but they are rather touchy on that subject.
If you send me a message and express serious interest - we can talk.

The technologies that are used for the biological processes are patented (I don't stick trademark [alt+0153] on the names for no reason...).

However, should you wish to purchase our maps of genetic code (or parts of them), please state so.

The facilities are very costly and upkeep is very complicated. But we are interested in a buisness enterprise. We could sign a contract that allows you you use of our facilites and that gives us added benefits.

[I shall reitterate, my problem is not with genetic engineering but the sale of human beings, it is the fact that you are selling human beings that bothers me. I shall continue our RP either tonight or tomorrow, I have held off until now because I had hopes that you would stop selling humans outright, but you've proven me wrong. I'd appreciate it if you posted a map of your nation in the other thread.]

Ximea: Unfortunatley, no, it cannot be frozen and thawed without damage to some of the product. That is, if you use a normal freezer to freeze them. I would imagine if you used cryogenics, it would be less risky. Done in one week, $1 billion total. (It should be $1.2 billion, but since it was initially your idea, you'd get a discount.)

[OOC: Scandanavian States: I would hate for this to escalate into a full-blown war. However, should you leave us no choice, we will give you a war (I intend to RP it as best I can nonetheless). Perhaps you did not read the description fully, in this new storefront, "The person who the simulation is run for is able to make his or her own descisions and has complete free will [within the "life simulation]...When they are released from the growing center, they are given a contract to sign." We work as contractors. It's up to the purchasing country to deside its terms.]

Iuthia commends these changes and finds that Solid Waters Design-A-Person™ storefront to be acceptable due to the care taken to assure the rights of these individuals.

Of course, we will have to be allowed to send an Ambassidor to have a tour to be assured that this is the case, however we thank Solid Waters for taking our suggestions on board and working to assure that it is no longer a sale of human beings (the definition of slavery) but the recruitment services of specifically designed specialists for other nations.

These voltuntary contracts will assure that the people created for recruitment are well treated and will have benefits for their modified states in their new lives.

We hope that such diplomacy and cooperation will continue in the future and we may even concider setting up an embassy within the nation to assist our diplomat needs.

We are primarily interested in the methods and tools that you use to manipulate and insert genetic code into organisms - we already have the genetic information that we want to insert.

We believe that we can adequately maintain the facilities needed on our own - if at all possible, we would like our own facilities, for security reasons, since there are might be radical groups that seek to interfere with our research.

Scandavian States: [OOC: Let's see how you can invade an underground facility with airlocks (level 5 clean facility), narrow passageways that are motitored with cmareas with guns mounted on them, security and touch-activiated security panels. Not to mention that the staff have all been enhanced with Neovirus™ and that everyone lives inside the facility (unless they leave for weekends or vacations. I look forward to seeing your personell attempt to pass through the entrance airlock.]

Noitan Teppup: I have spoken with the governing council and they agree that an embassy would by wonderful. I am also authorizing for an unarmed inspector (or two) to take a tour through the facility. [OOC: Other thread?]

Rather Convenient: We try to use biological processes whenever possible (such as the creation of neovirus™), owing to their safetey and general reliability and simplicity. However, the manufacturing of the intial biologiccal material is relativley simple and painless once you have the information in a comnputer. The sequence for the future organism(s) are devlopoed using a computer program that is simple to use. I would imagine such a program would be fairly easy to code. The next part is fairly tricky to design, because of the limited number of restriction enzymes that cut DNA. We need to assemble our own RNA and DNA using molecular manufacturing. After that stage is completed, we send the RNA and DNA through a PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction [I think that's what it is...]) in specially designed vats to create more of the genetic material. That genetic material is sent to the next vat which processes that RNA and DNA into the pre-finished product. What is processed goes on to step 4, into another vat, which creates the finished product. We then need to package it, do quaility assurance (large and powerful electron microscopes) and then ship it. If you want to purchase the step 1 machines (molecular manufacturing stage) we would be glad to sell you the plans for... a negotiable price... However, you'll have to build the machines yourself, which is at least a few billion dollars' worth of sensitive equipment. [OOC: Telegram me with your offer. We can work something out.]

The clones must be at an adult age, and must be well versed in soldiery, ettiquette, and assassination. They must be ruthless killers in all regards, and practice excessive cruelty on those they are ordered to kill. To ensure the clones loyalty, they should show a childlike devotion and an overwhelming sense of pride and loyalty to the Tyrant and his offspring but will only obey the Tyrant without any exceptions. An 6”3 is the preferable height. Incredibly high awareness, dexterity, sharp teeth and cat like eyes for extra intimidation factor. Enhanced cardio, muscular, and immune. The honor guard must put the safety of the Tyrant above all else, including their own lives. We trust you can provide this for us?

The Government of Foolish Pesants, would like to make a purchase of 32 random non-human specimins. The only real criteria is that they are well gifted for close combat and are practically mindless. This is in preporation for a new TV series that will be starting soon with Government approval. We cannot be bothered to do it ourselves as the lab boys are on a Union enforced vacation. We would like the subjects ready for as soon as possible as we have a schedule to keep.

On a diffrent note, we find it deplorable that you would sell so called "Super Soldiers" to such inifectious nations, they don't even possess their own Gene Processing facilities. Especially since you don't offer quality assurance over standard mistakes. We say this, because, in hindsight, it's a great idea for milking money from saps and we wanted to do it.

The sequence for the future organism(s) are devlopoed using a computer program that is simple to use. I would imagine such a program would be fairly easy to code. The next part is fairly tricky to design, because of the limited number of restriction enzymes that cut DNA. We need to assemble our own RNA and DNA using molecular manufacturing. After that stage is completed, we send the RNA and DNA through a PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction [I think that's what it is...]) in specially designed vats to create more of the genetic material. That genetic material is sent to the next vat which processes that RNA and DNA into the pre-finished product. What is processed goes on to step 4, into another vat, which creates the finished product. We then need to package it, do quaility assurance (large and powerful electron microscopes) and then ship it. If you want to purchase the step 1 machines (molecular manufacturing stage) we would be glad to sell you the plans for... a negotiable price... However, you'll have to build the machines yourself, which is at least a few billion dollars' worth of sensitive equipment."

We in the Evil Empire of Akaton have an unusual request. We wish to geneticly re-engineer living members of our society. To be specific, the ruling class of Akaton want to change themselves into an elf-like race of superior beings. The reason, the activists of our nation protest the dictatorship, claiming all people are created equal. We must make certain that the rulers are superior to their minions in all ways. Unfortunately, all attempts by our scientists using mutagenic chemicals have ended in the tragic exploding of the test subjects.

We require enough Neovirus to use on 56 humans. We can provide DNA from elf prisoners recently aquired from Commorargh. The wealthy rulers of Akaton will pay anything both from their private fortunes and from money taken from the people of our nation.

We request Three(very different) non-human organisms:

1: Bacterial water plants that expel waste in the form of jet fuel.

3: Vines that organically synthesize carbon nanotubes for support. We plan to raise them then burn them and collect the nanotubes from the ashes.

2: Whales redesigned for fresh water with no intelligence. They must grow and reproduce at extremely fast rates. They must have extreme immunity to disease(not that they will be exposed to much in a closed environment). Their meat should be as delicious as possible.

Akaton: But of course, but of course. Those protestors... Anyway, $285.6 million for 560ml of Neovirus™ (56 doses) to enhance the senses, increase muscle mass, increase regeneration, increase circulation and respiratory systems along with your desired physicall mutation. We await your samples of genetic material.

Sileetris: Aha, the first person to take advantage of the "oh so many other uses of genetic engeneering." Ok, numbers.
1: Done in one week, $10 billion for 1 liter of highly concentrated bacteria delivered to wherever you so want it to be delivered to. Grow them basically in vats full of decomposing organic material and wait for the fuel to... float to the top of the water. You'll have to harvest and process it yourself though, there's only so much we can do.
3: Done in two weeks, $20 billion for 1 kilogram of seeds. Grow them like you would normal vines. They will grow faster than normal vines, though. Make sure to collect the seeds before burnination.
2: [Delivery? How does one deliver a whale?] Done in three weeks, $30 billion for two young mating specimens that will be delivered to you by naval shipment ASAP. Grow them like you would normal whales. If succesfully mated, they will produce one offspring every week, maturing time is three weeks, growth to optimum meat size is one month.
Total is $60 billion.

Lord Jamith of Slimestoria has requested the creation of an organic land seige weapon, to be called simply, "The Titan." This beast should be at least 100 to 200 meters long, with incredibally thick, strong armor. The armor can be organic, or man-made. It should cover the entire beast, including some on the underside, should it be flipped over. It should have high endurance to radiation, flame, and poison, so it can be used to attack nations who may have been recently hit by WMDs. There should be several large areas on the back where the creature can have turrets(I will have to buy them myself) attached to the back. The Titan should be able to move and shoot with the turrets by itself. It should have human or near-human intelligence, so it will not only know how to use the weapons, but who to use them on. For built in weaponry, I want the beast to have some sort of organ in the roof of the mouth, allowing it to shoot hot streams of fire, or some sort of radiation. We would like 2 to be made, one male one female for breeding purposes.

If the creature cannot be created, then we thank you for your time. If the price is to high, then we will wait until our military funding is higher and try again.

Iuthia: [OOC: New thread? The thread with SS? This thread?]

Novagorad: Kind of like a whale, yes? We'll need to build larger growth centers for you and Slimestoria, so the wait will be a little over a month. About 5 weeks. OK, details. Large hollow bone inside animal. Animal is unresponsive to pain. Able to feed by sitting in a kind of "nutrient bath" (osmosis gets only so far, you'll have to have large storage tanks where you keep them and put nutrients in). Somewhere in the viscinity of 150 Meters long. You'll have to bring your own oxygen for your people to breathe. Diving time is around 45 minutes. Able to dive to 2 KM. Again, you'll need your own sensors to measure the limits. Speed: 30 knots. You will need to learn to "drive" it by pressing soft places on the inside of the animal (like pedals) that will envoke a response (turn left, right, dive, surface, accel., decel.). When a female is pregnant, she will be inable to carry anything. Able to overcome pregnancy in a month. No specific yearly breeding time. Growth to adult is another month. Lifespan is average of five years. Price: $250 billion for a male/female pair. (Think, you could buy a Doujin or one of these!). [OOC: HOWEVER since you are a young nation, you don't have the money to buy both of these. If you can figure out some IC way of getting $250 billion, you can take these. Otherwise, come back in one real-life month.]

Slimestoria: Interesting request. As stated above, we will need to build new facilities to accomodate this request. However, since this is first come, first serve, you get to wait about 4 weeks. I think everything you stated is possible except for the turrets. See, turrets need cybernetic implants to be controlled by the creature. Exoskeleton, no "soft spots." Human-level intelligence (this causes all sorts of problems if its mistreated, treat these well). However, it would be possible just for you to attach turrets to the crature's topside. They will be four-legged. Everything about breeding is the same from Novagorad's order. If you still want the creature to control the turetts, you'll have to pay for each cybernetic implant on newly bred creatures. No, no "fire-breathing organ" however, I would think that just the presence would cause shock and awe to enemy troops. Plus, it gets to step on stuff, to eat people, you know, the works. Oh, on that topic, engeneered to be an omnivore. Six turret mounts, you'll have to attach them to the exoskeleton using whatever you want (super glue? melted steel? It is an exoskeleton...). Oh yes, exoskeleton is about 5cm of solid bone. Price: $500 billion for both of these. [OOC: You're too young to purchase these. Come back in one real-life month. Unless you can figure out a way to get that much money in-character...]

[OOC: Ok, this thread it is. The following is copied out of the other thread.]

Ken Komusaji was sitting in his office, viewing the security cameras aboveground. There has been no response from Scandanavian States for over two weeks. Besides, the inspectors from Iuthia were due within the hour. The entrance to the elevator that lead to the underground facility was moitored by four cameras. Security was watching every camera 24/7. If SS wanted to get in by now, they must have noticed the havy secuirty. Maybe they planned on catching the CEO outside of teh facility, but that would be highly unlikley, because the living quarters were located within the facility. Anyone going in would need to go through the airlock, the facility was a level five clean facility. Just in case anything contaminated the central processing rooms. The mainframes were cut off from the rest of the world, and were backed up several times. The scientists sometimes went away for weekends, but most of them lived in the facility, with their families. The only things that didn't go through the airlock were the cars, which, once going down the elevator, were parked in the garage.

It was a fortress. Or maybe a prison. But outside wasn't any better.

Greetings from the Imperial Dominion of Sdaeriji. It is the understanding of the Imperial Praetorian Guard that Solid Water performs genetic engineering to order. We are very interested in this program. The Imperial Praetorian Guard, personal guardians to Chairman Santite and elite paramilitary arm of the Sdaerijian armed forces, is looking to genetically engineer a new generation of Praetors.

The Imperial Praetorian Guard would like 2250 males and 2250 females, all age 18. They all must have brown hair and blue eyes, and must be extremely attractive. The males’ heights should range between 6’3” and 6’6”, while the females should range between 6’0” and 6’3”. The males, when fully grown, should weight approximately 210 to 235 pounds, and the females, when fully grown, should weight approximately 150 to 175 pounds. Both males and females should have less than two per cent body fat. Neither males nor females should have any sexual desires whatsoever, but for breeding purposes, the females must have a highly accelerated reproductive drive, capable of bringing a child to term two to four weeks after conception.

The praetors’ eyesight must be 20/10 or better in both eyes, and it would be preferable if feline DNA was spliced in to give them natural nighttime vision. Also, it would be preferable if bloodhound DNA was spliced in to produce an extremely developed sense of smell. However, they should have no sense of taste. In addition, they should have acute hearing, capable of detecting noises less than 10 decibels from 1000 meters or more.

They should have enhanced strength and agility. Cat-like reflexes and the ability to lift five times their body weight over their head are necessary. Also, a greatly improved cardiovascular system is a necessity. Both males and females should be able to sustain a sprint for 1 mile, a run for 10 miles, and a jog for 100 miles. A redundant second heart should also be included that can take over functions should the first heart suffer injury. Additionally, an advanced immune system, resistant to all known pathogens and chemical agents, is needed as well.

The praetors should possess an IQ of 160-180, with a predisposition towards tactical and military thinking, with a full indoctrination in Sdaerijian military and cultural history. Both males and females should be fully trained in multiple forms of unarmed combat, as well as fully trained in the use of swords and firearms. Finally, they should have unbreakable loyalty to the Chairman first, and their Praetorian commanders second. A trigger in their genetic makeup should be installed to prevent them from ever purposely killing the Chairman.

These are all our requirements. Please provide a quote for these requests, and if the price is within reason, the Imperial Praetorian Guard will send immediate payment, and the Genetic Engineering Center of Solid Water may begin producing our order.

[OOC: Bump. I don't feel like posting an empty bump, so here's a small part of the inspection thread that I'm working on. Iuthia, if there's something you want me to change, tell me (post or TG).]

The inspectors from Iuthia were driving along the road that led to the Genetic Engeneering Center of Solid Water's facilities. They drove up to a concrete wall with barbed wire on the top. It had to be at least ten feet high.

"Jesus, that's quite some security they've got here," said Frank.

The inspectors' jeep drove up to what seemed to be a gate -- at this point, it was hard to tell apart this wall from anything else along it. It seemed too uniform, stretching in a circle around the entire GECSW premises. It was hard to tell if the intention of the wall was to keep people in or to keep them out. The gate was solid steel, shining amongst the concrete. As they drove up to it, they noticed a small black orb attachecd to the wall. There was a roof over this part, it too was covered with barbed wire. A terminal spoke up from the drivers' side of the vehicle in a monotone computer voice.

"State your name, clearance level and reason for entering."

"We are Frank Starr and Ethan Harrisson from Iuthia, here to inspect your facilities."

"Please wait," said the terminal and the inspectors waited for a few moments before another voice, this time human, spoke to them.

"You are approved to enter. Two armed guards will escort you. Please get out of your vehicle, give the keys to one of the guards and proceed," said the voice and the terminal clicked. The inspectors waited for a few seconds before the gates opened and three guards came through the door with guns pointed. There were three of them, but they were not two-armed, that was for sure. Each guard had four arms, two of which were holding a gun pointed to the inspectors. The other hands were swaying as they walked, like normal humans' hands.

"Please step outside of your vehicle and give your keys to Robert. We have been expecting a visit from you," said the leftmost guard. The inspectors did as they were told, and the gate opened completley. It was not a sight the inspectors had readied themselves for. There were no trees in sight. The entire area inclosed within the walls was green with grass, neatly trimmed, albeit empty, save the circular, shining posts that held up the bulbous orbs, distributed evenly through the area. The only irregularity was in the very center, with a small concrete building with a large sattelite dish perched on top of an observatory standing three stories high. The guards moved aside and told the inspectors to do likewise. As soon as they had done that, the third guard, now inside the jeep, drove it along the road that seemed to end at the observatory building, leaving the four-person party on a bit of a walk to the building. Figuring the guards were grown in the facility, Frank decided he should start his inspection here, before entering the building.

"So what's it like having four arms?" he asked, hoping beyond hope it was at all polite.

"I was wondering when you'd get around to interviewing me," said the guard with a smile. "Call me Sven. I actually can't imagine what it would be like to have two arms. Really help in combat situations, since all weapons are designed for two-armed people. Like, there was this one time, where I carried an injured soldier while returning fire with my other arms. But it does give you strange looks sometimes," Ethan realized he was staring and turned to look at the building, "but not more than your elven person on a vacation in a pure human country. Helps in videgames, too. I can use the joystick, number keypad and still be able to type."

"And how often are you on vacation? Do you get paid?"

"Well, the pay here is at least twice as large as in other high-security areas and we all get a month of leave a year."

"Do you all get along or are there rivalries for positions?"

Sven laughed. "We've all known each other since we were in vats. You know, brothers, sisters, friends because mothers are in PTA together. Besides, we're all intermarried. There's the whole deal of management wanting us to stay here. Living quarters are better than anything you'd ever be able to find for a decent price in a city. Normal hours, family's all here, vacation, four arms. The works. It's not for no reason, also. Crackhead greenpeace, extermists, religeous fanatics caliming God sent them to get this technology, corporate espionage. We need to keep the place highly secured."

The group was nearing the building. They could see that there were several truck-sized plates on the ground that were most likley elevators. The jeep had disapeared. There were also several heli-pads that were most liley elevators as well. The orbs become a bit unpleasant. "This isn't an interview or anything, but what's with the orbs?" asked Frank.

"Well," said Sven, "that's how we create the 3-d holographic image of the facility. You know, sonar. I imagine you'll be shown all that on your tour."

The group arrived near the entrance to a person-sized elevator. The guard pressed both of his hands on platforms near the elevator. They both signaled green, and the elevator door opened. The party stepped inside, and was treated to an elevator ride down of twelve seconds. They arrived at a small landing, exited, and the elevator doors closed behind them. What lay before them was the clear-glass airlock, with one orb in the center of the room.

It's like cloning only with DNA from a dead organism.

However, most people don't realize that the bare minimum for creation of a male and female organism is a male organism. If you have just a female, you don't get to know what the Y chromosome looked like. However, it's preferable that both a male and female subject are available, for diversity. Maybe the biblical claim that women (XX chromosomes) came from men (XY chromosomes) has some reasoning behind it. That is, if reproduction is not asexual (noone has yet asked for an organism that can ultiply by itself).

The specifacations are as follows:

Original Subject: Dog
Breed: Beagle
Gender: Male

Enhanced Traits:

Increased Strength
Increased Agility
Increased Speed
Increased Intelligence (must have intelligence exceeding that of a dolphin)
Increased Sense of Loyalty (it should be loyal only to his master -President Maverick- and whomever his master deems- MUST be good with kids unless stated otherwise by, you guessed it, his master)
Increased Sight
Increased Sense of Smell (should be able to smell a gun or explosive, like most bomb-trained Beagles)

Special Traits:

Infused Kevlar in subject's hair
Razor-Sharp retractable front teeth
Razor-sharp retractable claws

Sdaeriji: Bones would do fine. However, it all depends on your fossil type (blarg, I forget what they're called). If its a piece of rock (no bone) chances are slim that there is any organic material left (there is a chance, though, we'd need a large sample of a rock to put in a vat to attempt to salvage any biological material). If the fossil is a bone or, if luck is with you, in amber, then all is fine.

Parlim: All those traits except the implanted kevlar and the actuall training will be made to be dominant over regular genes (we do that most times...).
Price: $5 million, done and shipped to you in one week.

Frank Star decided to go first into the airlock, Frank was a tall man, maybe 6’1” tall with blonde hair and like many Iuthians he and his colleague were mildly tanned and seemed to be in reasonable shape, they weren’t fit in the same say Sven was, though it had to be said that Sven was a genetically engineered security guard and was built and trained to stay in shape. However the two men weren’t overweight simply because it was common in Iuthia for people to exercise often.

Meanwhile Ethan was a little shorter, about 5’11” with short military crop black hair. The two men wore suites one would expect from the Iuthian Diplomatic Corps and seemed to keep a professional posture throughout the interviewing process. So far they seemed content with that they had seen. After Frank was through the airlock, Ethan followed to see what lay on the otherside.


(OOC: Sorry about the lateness of this Solid Water, I've been busy I guess, if you don't mind I'd like to RP my characters now as Iuthians are slightly different from others... but I don't mind a few assumptions. You did a good job.)
Solid Water

[OOC: No problem. I've TG Iuthia with what I've already written out, so make sure you check your TGs.]

As Frank came near the glass doors, they hissed open and he entered. The doors closed behind him, and he was quickly soaked with some kind of liquid. Bowerful blasts of air came from the top, left, right, and bottom of the airlock. As the fans' noise level decreased, the doors in front of Frank opened, and he walked into the facility.

"I trust you've had a most pleasant trip, gentlemen?" said a man in a buisness suit, shaking Frank's hand just as he was getting out of the airlock. "Hi, I'm David Narez, a personal advisor to Mr. Komusaji, who basically runs the place. I'll be your tour guide."

"I am Frank Starr, and this is my asistant Ethan Harisson," said Frank, shaking hands with David. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"As is for me," said David, shaking hands with Ethan. "Well, I suppose we'd better get started! The elevator ride might have seemed short, but you're actually about fifty floors underground. The hissing you hear are the air handlers pumping air out of the facility. We need to keep a positive pressure so we don't get any contaminants. We run at around 5 PSI, that's enough to keep us safe from chemichal attacks, as long as its not a large blast. Since we're underground, we're also protected from bombings. The airlock is monitored at all times by live personell, just in case anyone gets past the entry to the elevator, which is monitored when its in use. That airlock is the only entrance to the facility. We have emergency stores for a year in the fallout zone, which I'll get to later, and for six months of regular use."

"I asked the guards about the orbs, and they said that they were sonar detectors. Anything more on that?" asked Ethan, as David was walking through passageways, and leading the inspectors to somewhere.

"Yes, we use advanced 3-d holographic rendering for our security room, which will be our first stop today. We have to coordinate the signals in the controls, so that none of them get signals from the other orbs. But that is relativley painless, because it's all computerized. It's really easy to spot anything moving on the holographic panel, that's why we prefer using that over cameras."

"What about scrambling signals that infiltrators might use?"

"That's easy to detect, protocol says we go to full lockdown if that happens. We have searchlights, backup cameras, the observatory deck and a few surprises for anyone who might have made it through alive," said David as he pressed his hands to a panel near a door. The red light turned green and the door opened.

It was quite a sight. The walls were covered with LCDs, showing virtual 3-d places of the facility. But the most awe-inspiring sight was in the center of the two-story tall room: a holographic projection of the entire facility, lit up in pale blue, much like the holographic images in Star-Wars. However, there was no shading of the objects, the image was only shown in 3-d, light is not captured through sound waves. The room was circular, with stariways leading up to the second floor which monitored the top levels of the facility, including the aboveground. There was even the surrounding forest Frank and Ethan had driven through.

"Yes, here you see the entire 'Big Brother' security system," said David. "Unidentified organisms are colored red, so they are easy to see. We detect the unidentified personel if the security system gets signals from anywhere except the main gate. Plus, the security here authorize how many persons or objects can come through. Red is unidentified intruder, yellow is wildlife, grey is authorised visitor, green is faculty and blue is the color of the unmoving objects. It's beautiful isn't it? I could give you the entire tour just from this one room, but I imagine that's not up to standards. I'll just give a quick showing of facilities so you know where I'm taking you and what the entire place looks like. Follow me."

David walked up the stairs to the top observatory floor, with Frank and Ethan noting that the sides of the platform they were on glowed with the color that was projected on the center of the room. There were also projectors from above and below the room.

"You see we also moitor the surrounding area of the facility outside," said David, and pointed the the forest surrounding the facility, with small yellow critters scirting amoung the blue suuroundings. "That's to get early warning on anyone who might be coming. We have hidden gun platforms in the walled area, so we don't endanger personel if we get intruders. There's enough firepower hidden underground to rip one thousand people to shreds. You see the parking garage," David pointed to a multistory undergound facility with parked cars. "That's where your jeep is right now. That's the elevator to the airlock," David pointed to a shaft that led down to the double-doored entrance. "This is where we are," David pointed to a large cavity in the ground. "The signal itself doesn't render on the image because sound waves just pass through them. The obseratory elevator is right through the door in this room. Since that's the only part of the building that's aboveground, we have double doors -- not an airlock, mind you -- to the elevator. The rooms and passageways are built so that there are steel doors that close faster than you blink, isolating any passage or room we want. Breaches would glow red, but we havn't had any. The elevator passage to the observatory has more doors than you could ever hope to get through with a normal bomb. The cloning section is here, the large order engeneered growth section is here, the small order cloning and engeneered section is here, and we are currecntly building two large vats for large creatures," said David, all the while pointing to sections on the projection that showed up as circular rooms with vats. "The living quarters are also monitored, as you see," David said pointing to a large area whith living spaces. "But noone ever looks closley. Protocol says we should, if we suspect anything odd in people's behavor, but that has yet to happen."

"What is the large underground area with lots of yellow critters?" asked Ethan, while he gazed at the image. The yellow was quite easy to see in all the blue of the forest.

"And that would be our last destination, and one that does not infringe on human rights more than Raven Corps' genetic storefront. In there (we call it "The Biosphere") we keep a host of genetically engineered animals, plants, insects and the like. It's only safe to keep them from the aboveground. However, conditions are much like aboveground, with a sun-like projection simulating the sun, simulated weather systems and a fully autonomous food chain. It's the place we test our animal creations in. Really, some of the stuff there would silence the Raven Corps genetic storefront for good. We havn't gone public offering organisms from there, but we expect to before long. The plants in there are easily a match for anything you'll find bred and born naturally, not to mention the animals. In there hundreds of species have become extinct without the knowledge or documentation of any classification agency, only to be revamped for the next generation in our labs. We look at what works and what doesn't, and fix it in the labs. Our scientists sometimes get short on creativity, so they end up borrowing ideas from games. In fact, I will have to show you the effectivness of Hydralisks in real life. The Biosphere has its own monitoring station, closer to the labs, but since this is the master projection, it shows up here too."

Frank had seen enough, it was clear that these guys were sticking to their word and part of the reason they were here was to spite the government of Scandavian States by dealing with a situation diplomatically to assure that human rights were being covered well enough so Iuthia didn't have to stop all relations with them.

After about 1 month I have returned to finish my order.


Lord Jamith of Slimestoria has requested the creation of an organic land seige weapon, to be called simply, "The Titan." This beast should be at least 100 to 200 meters long, with incredibally thick, strong armor. The armor can be organic, or man-made. It should cover the entire beast, including some on the underside, should it be flipped over. It should have high endurance to radiation, flame, and poison, so it can be used to attack nations who may have been recently hit by WMDs. There should be several large areas on the back where the creature can have turrets(I will have to buy them myself) attached to the back. The Titan should be able to move and shoot with the turrets by itself. The beast must have some large holes cut into the shell, so that the nessasary cybernetic implants can be installed(so it can use the turrets) It should have human or near-human intelligence, so it will not only know how to use the weapons, but who to use them on. We would like 2 to be made, one male one female for breeding purposes.

Continuing Iuthian inspection

"And so, if you don't have any questions, we can now proceed. I'll take you to the growing labs first, follow me," said David and proceeded to walk off into the direction the three came from, following a diffrent set of hallways this time. The three came to another set of doors. "This actually is another airlock, becuase contamination in the growing labs would be unthinkable. I'll go first this time," said David and walked up to the first door, that slid open. After the sequence of air blasts, Frank and Ethan followed. The pattern was the same, top, left, right, bottom. And so, the second doors opened and Frank and Ethan found themselves in the midst of the growing labs.

It was rather nondescript. The walls were lined on either side with cylindrical vats, which each had a green tint. The passages through the vats proceeded to the left and to the right of the airlock. The entire room was circular, so it made little diffrence where someone would go. At the farthest end of the room from the airlock, there was another door which led to a room with some seats that looked like they might be used for virtual reality. David explained that it was common practice to get a staff personell living in the same reality as some of the subjects being grown, so that he or she could be steered by peer pressure, values and the like. Sometimes the staf played as friends of the subjects, sometimes parents, commanders, trainers, idols and other people who could influence the subject's life. Should that not be sufficient to steer the mental development of the subject being grown, the environmental conditions and AI could be set up to create some event that would press the individual to lean a certain way on some issues.

Depends on what you want. Genetic libraries are $1 trillion. Plans for the machines are $3 trillion (you have to build them yourself, which is a few million $ on top). Training for effiecient scientist group is $1 trillion. We hope you understand that the high prices are to prevent many nations taking these machines and using them against us, or in such a way that could be detrimental to us. That total price includes rights to unlimited and uncontrolled use in your own country, but you cannot use them for commercial purposes outside your country (meaning that you can only sell anything to your own populace, puppets included, but not to foreign buyers or other nations). The process itself costs a few million dollars per creature (depending on size, complexity, aging run time).

Note that building the proper facilities and machines is not included in these prices. Also, our facility have made this their life, and have mastered every nuisance of the system, so the time to get to such a level of perfection as us is quite long.

And so, the second doors opened and Frank and Ethan found themselves in the midst of the growing labs.

It was rather nondescript. The walls were lined on either side with cylindrical vats, which each had a green tint. The passages through the vats proceeded to the left and to the right of the airlock. The entire room was circular, so it made little diffrence where someone would go. At the farthest end of the room from the airlock, there was another door which led to a room with some seats that looked like they might be used for virtual reality. David explained that it was common practice to get a staff personell living in the same reality as some of the subjects being grown, so that he or she could be steered by peer pressure, values and the like. Sometimes the staf played as friends of the subjects, sometimes parents, commanders, trainers, idols and other people who could influence the subject's life. Should that not be sufficient to steer the mental development of the subject being grown, the environmental conditions and AI could be set up to create some event that would press the individual to lean a certain way on some issues.

The two inspectors listened carefully, taking notes where they could. It was odd how they had designed the facility to remove the likelihood of rejection... the upbringing of these GM people was conducted in such a way as to indoctrinate them into not wishing to be idependant... an interesting method and far more advanced then Iuthian doctrination. Though essentially it wasn't any different from the way Iuthia trained Black Vipers... just more advanced in method.

Neither of the men had any questions, they had seen enough to be convinced that this facility wasn't too problematic for Iuthian morals to be at odds with... so they just enjoyed the tour.

(Feel free to RP my guys like you already have done; I'll post occasionally but I'm pretty busy with some other things and this is thread is more about your company getting background then my team interacting with you as you've already shown... when you are done maybe you can use all the explainations you've given for this for a much better description placed in another thread for reference :) )

Solid Water,
Slaytanicca would like to buy the technology for curing cancer at a cost of $10 billion. We believe we will recoup the money from the reduced drain on the medical services and research funds this will bring.

We would also be extremely interested in other purchases from your company in the near future, as well as gateway technologies to further our own infant genetics program.

OOC: Just to let people know, just pecause I don't log in or bump, doesn't mean I don't check this as often as I can... I hate school. It's too boring and takes up too much time.

And, yes, Iuthia, that would be the case. Saw right through that one... ;)

IC: Slaytanicca, done. Order will be recieved on your end within the week. Also, what technologies are you thinking of. As I have stated before...

Genetic libraries are $1 trillion. Plans for the machines are $3 trillion (you have to build them yourself, which is a few million $ on top). Training for effiecient scientist group is $1 trillion. We hope you understand that the high prices are to prevent many nations taking these machines and using them against us, or in such a way that could be detrimental to us. That total price includes rights to unlimited and uncontrolled use in your own country, but you cannot use them for commercial purposes outside your country (meaning that you can only sell anything to your own populace, puppets included, but not to foreign buyers or other nations). The process itself costs a few million dollars per creature (depending on size, complexity, aging run time).

Note that building the proper facilities and machines is not included in these prices.

If you want some other technologies, we would be glad to further science in other countries!

The Protus Corporation
11-08-2005, 03:56
The Armed Republic of the Protus Corporation would like to place an order for a custom design of an injectable virus for performace enhancement. It will be tailored to the following specifications:

Hightened Awareness
Higher Dexterity and Mobility
Enhanced Abilities (Speed, Vision, etc.)
Increased Muscle Mass
High Intellectual Ability (Strategic Planning, High Capacity for Creative Thought, and High Reasoning Capabilities, etc.)
No Compassion (For enemy and threats only, mercy to unarmed civilians)
Taller, 7 feet (Menacing appearance for psychological warfare)
Weight: 300 lb. (Mostly increased Muscle Mass)
Additional Hearts 2x (Back up heart and enhanced body mass)
Additional/specialized lungs (backup(s)/purification lung/increased oxygen capacity)
Highly Increased Regeneration Rate (quicker healing)
Trained with all modern forms of hand to hand combat and basic knowledge of most vehicles and weapon platforms.
Altered to be totally obedient.

If at all possible we would like the virus to follow all the same basic parameters of your NeoVirus, except to act on all cells as required (so if it comes into contact with brain cells it will cause the enhanced intellect but when the same virus comes into contact with cells of the muscles it propmotes ore growth). We realize that the virus will be very difficult to create but we are willing to pay that extra price.

We do not want it transmitable except through sharing of blood and other bodily fluids. The dosage required for maximum effect would be preferrably only 10 ML. We request 500 KL. The total price of the virus will be an estimated $2,500,000,000,000 (it will be payed over a course of 5 NS years if that is acceptable). We are also willing to pay you $50,000,000,000 for the development of the virus and an additional $100,000,000,000 for the rights to the virus. This is non-negotiable, we require the rights. Also you and your employees will be required to sign a nondisclosure agreement, this too is non-negotaible. If any of the above is unacceptable we will try to negotiate it. Thank you.

The Genetic Engineering Center of Solid Water welcomes the Protus Corporation.

There are a few problems with your order (assume everything else is acceptable):

Increased Muscle Mass. We can only attone for the gaining of muscle mass, not the actual muscle training. That is, such a virus would enhance how much muscle mass is gained through proper diet and exercise.

High Intellectual Ability (Strategic Planning, High Capacity for Creative Thought, and High Reasoning Capabilities, etc.). Again, we cannot train your subjects to think, we can only provide them with better instruments of thinking.

No Compassion (For enemy and threats only, mercy to unarmed civilians). We are unable to create or enforce such a mindset (there may be subjects that go against this of their own will), but we can alter the delicate brain chemistry to make such a mindset more easily attainable.

Altered to be totally obedient. See above

Trained with all modern forms of hand to hand combat and basic knowledge of most vehicles and weapon platforms. We cannot train your personell. Information is not genetic.

Taller, 7 feet (Menacing appearance for psychological warfare)
Weight: 300 lb. (Mostly increased Muscle Mass).
Additional Hearts 2x (Back up heart and enhanced body mass)
Additional/specialized lungs (backup(s)/purification lung/increased oxygen capacity).

This is doable, however, the mutation of all personell injected with the virus will take one to two months to fully grow all organs.

Everything else is doable.

Payment:

$2,500,000,000,000 over 5 NS years
$50,000,000,000 for initial production
$100,000,000,000 for rights to the virus

Our employees will sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Thank you for your buisness.

Sorry, we weren't very clear in our order. In the mentioned area we meant for the virus to cause a predisposition to said training and enhancement, we realize that you couldn't just cause it through the virus. We apologize for the misunderstanding. Thank you for your cooperation. As everything is now in order we accept the order. Thank you for doing business with us, we will be sure to come to you should we need similar services.

FurWaif
24-09-2005, 04:30
FurWaif's top assisted reproductive technology team would like to sublicense your technology for the propagation of some of the world's rarest species. FurWaif is known as the nation which has the greatest success rate in breeding the rarest and most critically endangered species.
Over 50% of our land mass is devoted to species survival habitat and FurWaif is known as the last haven for many.

We'd like to jump start the process on some of the more time-critical fauna.
Ususlly these species are ravaged by wars, or have short lifespans and limited capacity for breeding, and we take them in and build sustainable DNA databanks for the nations and regions who request such services.

The team requests:
100 mL aliquots of NeoVirus capable of transmitting nonhuman DNA and RNA without crosslinks; sterile, batch tested, and lot-numbered, and suitable manuals & machinery (cryo, electromag, microcentrifuge, etc.) to maintain said technology over a development cycle of 24 months.

We will be utilizing some of your technology in part of our recombinant or chimeric organisms which are later used to repopulate a species via crossbreeding.
Examle: the Violet-Eared Seaside Sparrow was just recently restored by our team, using a combination of these techniques. It took 3 years though and we'd like to get these species on the fast track - 3 weeks or even 3 months sounds better!

This is a peaceful nation, we do not intend to use your technology for violence or destruction, and we will sign a contract stating so, plus your standard nondisc. Nor will we create derivative works based on your methodologies.

Please go over the request with your sales team and come up with a final price, we will purchase on PO or Net 30, whichever you prefer.

SkyCapt: $1.2 Billion. Ready for pickup in one NS week.

FurWaif: It is possible to create a strain of NeoVirus that is able to prodcue either male or female gametes from any tissue sample within which there is the entire needed genetic code.

We would be more than happy to sell this new creation to you, along with the machinery needed to grow organisms without the benefit of a live creature to implant cells into for growing.

Unfortunatley, we are unable to offer the speed-growing technology, as we fear it would create far too many problems. Instead of three years, it will be possible to grow organisms almost completley naturally during their natural incubation period.

We are willing to offer 500mL of this NeoVirus (250mL of male and 250mL of female) and the proper technology for growing organisms (the "vats") for $500 million.

Please note that every mL of this would produce many hundreds of gametes and waste of said gametes would be at a minimum. The only problem with this setup would be that, becuase of the different incubation conditions for different organisms, you would be responsible for recreating the needed environment in the vats. The vats themselves would be able to provide extremeley controlled conditions and would also be able to feed whatever nutrients are needed to the growing organism.

Encrypted Message to Solid Water

Greetings from the glorious nation of Antanjyl. As Emperor of this great land, it has recently come to my attention that cloning myself would allow me to better watch over the people here, and allow myself work on far more important things than simple public relations. Despite the fact that my parents were human, due to numerous mutations and changes genetically to myself before I was born, I have shown certain augmented traits. As such I will lend a small sample of my DNA to your corporation for the commisioning of ten clones of myself. I would like them to appear exactly like me, and to hold nearly all the same traits, though a predisposistion to subseviance would be greatly appreciated.

Seeing as this might be difficult to keep under wraps, I will pay you the total sum of 20 Billion USD. Half will be paid now, the other half will be paid upon completion and destruction of my DNA sample. I hope this agreement works out between us.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, your payment and the retrieval of my slaves will be done by a naval fleet enroute from Red Tide.
