ONI Concordiat

WELCOME TO THE PSYCHOTRONIC STOREFRONT
As many of you future tech nations know, the ONI Concordiat has built a number of Bolo tanks. Their sentience and intelligence is completely derived from their psychotronic brains. Today, sections of those brains are being sold, for the prices given. The prices do NOT include installation, but they DO include shipping.
Note: It is approximately 14 Banished Credits/ 1 Dollar (OCC: Bad, I know)
Holistic Memory Boards
These circuit boards do not function like normal circuits. Rather, they function more like a CD that is extremely advanced. Grooves written in the plastic that are only 10 Angstroms thick are read by a laser, then the data interpreted. This system is not affected by EMP and can function even when there is barely any power to supply the lasers. Additionaly, little heat is created, certainly less than standard circuitry.
8,000,000 BCredits per square foot of board, lasers below
Sentience Sequencer Processor
This processor sequencer regulates which processor of the multiple processors becomes active, thus restricting the unit's abilities based on sequencer settings. For example, the sequencer might be altered to restrict computer access to the Combat Processor, while encouraging access to the Thalamic Emotional Processor, thus turning a ruthless Bolo into a drama queen.
10,050,000 BCredits per sequencer
Multiple Processor Regulation System
This system allows for a computer to have multiple processors, whos' design is outlined below. The processors are regulated based on the contained programming. For example, the Combat Processor would be the processor a Bolo relies on in the field, and the Emotional Processor the one that a Bolo would rely on to analyze humans. Includes one of each processor plus auto-sequencer.
100,050,100,000 BCredits per Processor Group
Artificial Sentience Processor
This processor, using lasers to cycle the processor, generates less heat than electron-generated processors, while maintaining a higher speed. Each processor has a backup "Personality Ceneter" which is the program from which a Bolo's personality arises. There is an Emotional Processor, Two Combat Processors, eight Sensor/Input Processors, three Response/Output Processors, fourteen Communications Processors, ninteen Diagnostic Processors, and eighteen Protocol/Program processors
1,050,000 BCredits per Processor
Personality and Survival Centers
These two centers make a Sentient computer possible. The Personality Center is made up of each processors input into the whole of a unit, and each processor is different, and some matter more than others. The Personality Center also holds the core of sentience: the ability to rewrite one's programming, usually within designed limits. If a Bolo has memories or orders that it no longer wants, it simply may overwrite them, like real, sentient organic brains. The Survival Center holds the Bolo's self-preservation and pain-detection routines, and backup installation and bootstrap programs for every system on board, to keep the Bolo operational even after the memory has been wiped. This section is restricted to acess only when all other cognative functions have ceased, and the tank is effectively dead.
8,000,000,500 BCredits per Center
Holistic Volatile Memory Boards
These are the Working Memory of a Bolo, and works on lasers, like standard holistic memory. Instead of overwriting the grooves in the plastic by digging different ones, however, the Bolo melts part of the plastic and reforms it in a mould, effectively making the board as good as new. These can function independent of the above.
Same price as Non-Volatile Holistic Boards
Laser Reading/Writing/Melting Systems
These are simple, but are necessary for the functioning of a Bolo's memory board.
100,000 per system, system includes 20 of each laser type, functional for 8 feet of memory board when mounted correctly.
And Last but Not Least...
Moral Inhibition Circuits
These circuits are designed to function as a conscience for a Combat Unit. They prevent opening fire on civilians without provocation, as well as preventing the use of nuclear missiles when they are not necessary and the use of Hellbores when humans are near enough for the shockwave to damage them. However, later marks of sentient Bolos (with parts not released here) can override these circuits, as can any human order that comes with proper Command identification through the Communications Processor.
10,000,500,000 BCredits per Inhibitior
Because of the above, a Bolo can be the most loyal soldier, following every order given with disregard for its own life, but still, when left to its own devices, expertly fight a battle. A Bolo can remember four-thousand years of military Human history for battle errors not to be repeated, and tactics that did or did not work. They are the most loyal, smartest, and heavily-armed and armored soldiers on the future ground battlefield.
Any custom orders or custom programs will be appraised BEFORE sale. Any combination of the above will simply add all the prices up. Any extra programs will be +500 BCredits per, as will anything else added.
