Crazed Marines is issuing a contest for the biomodification of their special forces. We want a standardized canister that is adaptable to all human DNA types. We also want them programmable and upgradeable. We are also willing to negotiate a contract a contract for production rights from the winner plus the manufacturing prize (1 trillion USD).

I can't do that but I can provide plenty of human organs.
OOC: There is this huge party called Uberstock that Borman is hosting this week. It would be cool if you could come. Lots of kick-ass things happen.

CE: Maybe.
OOC2: What I want is something similar to the biomod canisters in "Deus Ex Invisible War"

Our nation is on the cutting edge of bio engineering, all we need to know is what you mean by "Canister"

Container: A self-contained unit containing a predetermined amount of nanites

Alright um sorry for putting this here but Borman is probally not going to be able to do it so I am hosting.

We cannot provide the canisters but we can augment your troops with blood and sand magic.
The blood magic would make them faster and stronger.
The sand magic would offer toughness and some greater mobility that doesn't require physical movement i.e. Blowing in the wind like sand.
That is what we can provide and seeing as you helped me with the terrorists it would be free.

Just a second there! Don't entrust your highly-trained soldiers to volatile magic. (OOC: Especially since we are going to announce Anti-magical weaponry and defenses soon.) No, what you want is the latest in semi-legal New Exodus technology. Although outlawed for use by our forces, a loophole in the law allows us to sell our Nanotech Augmentations to trusted allies.

These Augs provide a wide variety of abilities to the user (Increased physical performance, resistance to projectile or energy weapons, etc.), although there are certain limits to how many a soldier can have. Also, these abilities cannot run solely off the host's metabolism, and must rely on special power sources which we can also supply. Any soldiers who would get these augmentations must agree to limited genetic restructuring, as well as implantation of nanotech devices.

Volatile magic? My friend we have been using it for quite a while have no problems with it. But a compromise might be reached. Why doesn't Crazed Marines use a combination of our suggestions. My magic, your nanotech

OOC: Hey, no offense meant. I was going for the advertising effect.

IC: Certainly sounds fine to me, as long as New Exodus makes something of a small profit from it. We may not be able to use this stuff, but it cost a bundle to build. Besides, CM can afford it.

Don't do it! Crazed Marines will simply have you show off your bio-engineering on his soldiers and THAN DESTROY YOU. Don't trsut him! He's crazed!

I have no need to enter this contest having perfected bio-engineering with both modern and fantasy means. Gases, machines, blood, and magic.

I understand the advertising thing.
IC: We see no problem with this we just hope that CM approves of this idea. But if you try and take advantage THE WRATH OF GOD IN CAMEL FORM WILL BE UPON YOU.

We our interested in your magic what form does it take?

"Relax," Commander Haase says as he toys with an augmentation canister, "The President of Crazed Marines and I are good friends." The canister slips from his hands and hits the floor with a loud *CRACK.* A glowing, silvery-blue mist begins to ooze out from the crack on the canister's side. "Oh, bloody he-"

*Transmission Interrupted*

We've got a super secret duper special secret special duper thingie bobber mcbobbie! It's called Super-secret-duper-special-secret-special-duper-thingie-bobber-mcbobbie, but it only works on males.

It will grow!

When you mean a predetermined amount of nanities how much are you thinking of? And do you put more faith in technology or types of magics?

Mike, we'll take everything you can produce. Even some black market biomods. We did put in that it had to be adaptable to every user, and they choose where it will affect them (possibly rearrange on the spot). Maybe you and Camel Eaters can work out something where the energy can be supplied by his magic. Work this out with him, though.
--David Miles, Former President, Former, Commandant of the Marine Corps, High Advisor to the Office of the President.

OOC: Well...hmmm, where will some Marines use the biomods?

When you mean a predetermined amount of nanities how much are you thinking of? And do you put more faith in technology or types of magics?

I put equal faith in Technology and magic. The amount of nanites will be constituted by volume. This canister, I think, will be 3 liter sized canisters.

OOC: I'm still working on that History project, so it might take me a bit to get all the necessary posts up for this. CM, call me, so I can explain while I work.

IC: The transmission from New Exodus returns, and shows Commander Haase, looking no worse for wear. "Sorry about that. Nothing a few EMP grenades couldn't handle." He smoothed out his uniform. "As I mentioned before, the augmentations cannot be powered solely by the host's metabolism. Our standard method is to store energy using special nanites that would attach to certain of the host's organs. These would essentially act as a rechargeable battery."

"However, the new discoveries we are making with Crystal Ireland suggest that if the nation of Camel Eaters were to imbue your soldiers with magic, we could create a generator that would convert their passive thaumic (magical) field into a power source. Your troops would have a steady rate of recharge."

OOC: I need to RP this research, but for now, check out this page.

yeah, that'll work

This is good!!! I will pay you back for letting me keep those tanks. YAY!!!

That was military aid. This buisness. The two are completely different, so you will be paid 1 trillion, New Exodus and Crystal Ireland will each recieve 2 trillion since they are my friends.

We don't need the money. You're an ally we are just happy to help.

We can give you a drug that we have been developing called Kelocin. It increases the size of the heart and lungs while increasing the flow oxygen to red blood cells. Thus making them faster. Also we have another drug Viotan. Viotan increases white blood cell production by 20%. Thus fighting disease at a increased rate. Also we have a combination of hormone treatments that makes builing muschle easier and the retention of fat harder. Plus a wide range of amphetamines.

Sincerely,
Donald Winers
CEO BioFarm

It is official. The contest is closed, with the contract going to New Exodus with Crystal Ireland and Camel Eaters helping and getting a cut of the money. We thank all interested countries, maybe next time.
