In honor of the ancient Dozle war, we are re-releasing another version of the SOAT-bot that valiantly defended the nation of Dozle from brutal attacks from Vrak and Lunatic Retard Robots, among others. These SOAT-bots were such effective killing machines that after the war the nation of Vrak incorporated them into their own forces. The SOAT model has long sense been retired, but has been re-modernized and re-released as the SOAT mkII! These SOATs have the latest in Carbon-60 armor, making shell weapons nearly useless against them by protecting their inner workings with a layer of superdiamond buckyballs. For those willing to equip their armies with the best in combat robotics, you may click the following link and place orders as a reply to this e-mail.

(OOC: Hmmm, good point.)

In that case I'd like to make the following order:

Item: S.O.A.T. Mrk. II SpecOps All-Terrain Robot
# of Items: 2,000,000
Unit Cost: $6,000,000
Grand Total: $12,000,000,000,000

Funds made available through:
-Government Defense Budget

we are looking for a good version of our Cybornatic Agents for training. Maybe we can come up with a deal for paymeny , becuase we are new here and funds are low.

((OOC: Nothing like $12 trillion for your first sale of a product. :D ))
IC:

Due to such an extensive order, we are afraid we cannot ship you your S.O.A.T.'s immeadiately. However, we'd be more than happy to ship the grand total of 2 million over two years, at just over 83,330 units a month. Of course, with this it's more than acceptable to pay for the units as they come to you, making for a monthly payment of $500,000,000,000 a month.

The first shipment has been sent, enjoy!

The Latebra Scientia Department understands, we accept your actions. We'll be sure to use these bots to their full terrifying potential. Expect orders for more in the future.

OOC: Its AMY from "Red Planet" AHHHH!!! I love that movie. Anyway, I'm considering buying some in the future

((OOC: Ah, yep. You got me. ;)
I'll be looking forward to your order.))

OOC: For clarification, there was no Nation of Dozle. Dozle was a rogue prince of Valinon, possessed by an ancient Takan artifical intelligence known as Adam. Adam--through Dozle's body--dreamed of of holding complete dominion over all of known space. As can be seen by the fact that few even bother to remember the Dozle, or Adamite as they are sometimes known, Wars his plans obviously did not come to the end he dreamed.

We will order 50 of these new S.O.A.Ts for three hundread million.

The Ascendancy wishes to purchase the following units of the S.O.A.T. Mrk. II SpecOps All-Terrain Robot.

Unit number: 5,000

Total Price: (w/ Gaian rate of exchange) - $422.550 Billion

These will meet our SpecOps needs rather well, rather than for front line assets. (Our OmniMechs and Angel Gods meet that criteria.)

Two Union-C DropShips will be sent with a Frigate to retrieve the units.

((OOC: We're advertisers, not historians. We pass what looks good on paper as the facts. There's no need to say Dozle was a rogue or that he was possesed by a potentially crazy A.I. while he lost that war, or even that he lost the war. The important thing is that he used our robots in the war and they were his primary troop, and that he held his own against a trifecta alliance of two experienced NS nations and one I haven't heard of before. He, for lack of a better word, owned the competition royally with the robots in the short run, and that's all the consumer needs to know. :p ))

To the esteemed potentate of the Lords of War:

We'll order ten to test against our Cougars. Thats... $60 mil?

Money wired on confirmation of order, as always.

The Sovereignty of Kyanges would like to outfit the rest of our forces with these robots, the first shipment of units has performed far beyond previous performance expectations and we can't wait to get our hands on the next. However, 2 million units is hardly enough to adequately defend all of our interests. Therefore, we'd like to inquire about a deal where The Resi Corporation would be the main supplier of continuous shipments of the S.O.A.T. SpecOps Droids until our needs have been filled.

Current estimates total at around a whopping 7,000,000,000 units. However, more realistic proposals top around an additional 4,000,000 S.O.A.T. Mrk. IIs to our previous order of 2 Million.

We are considering a plan of 1,000 units annually, with a payment of $6,000,000,000 to be made for each shipment, until we have met our needs.
We need to know the estimated matainance costs and average operational life span for each unit however, before we make our final decision.

With proper maintenence every five years, operation of these robots is indefinate. As for maintenence costs themselves, we provide maintenence free of charge to our customers, provided they transport their robots to the nearest International Robotic Nano-Maintenence Center (IRNMC) on ResiCorp's main island or any of its assets abroad. The cheaper alternative for an army like yours would be to pay us $120 million to build a large-sized IRNMC in your capital, therefore making yourself completely self-sufficient as far as the robots are concerned. As for maintaining the IRNMC, it maintains itself with virutally the same system it uses for the robots.

We have entered the script for your order into our distribution program, and you have your choice of rewards for being such a generous buyer. You may either have a free shipment of 1,000 S.O.A.T.'s, or 2.5% off the total sale price of this extended deal.

The construction teams have been dispatched in our signature vertical flight spaceplanes. This also means that, provided the lots for construction are clear, as soon as they enter your airspace they can land directly at the construction sites. The teams should arrive within two hours.

Also, due to developments in our industrial sector, we have now produced enough S.O.A.T.'s to meet your full order. You can continue to pay for them in installments, if that better suits your financial agenda, or you can pay for them all up front and receive the full load all at once.

As a simple matter of customer liability we must inform you of the following legal situation: any and all attempts to modify and/or reverse-engineer ResiCorp technology or products without authorization directly from a ResiCorp representitive is deemed illegal in an international court of law, making you subject to monitary damages in addition to destroying any data you have collected. Any mimicry of the design in any facet of your technology is subject to speculation and potential legal action. Should you refuse an appearance in the International Court of Copyright Law (ICCL), you will be invaded by a coalition of fellow capitalist nations all with vested intrest in keeping their designs for themselves.

That being said, we'd like to purchase 3 SOAT mkIIs for $9 mil. for research and countermeasures, and hope to continue working with you.

It is with the sincerest respect for you that we must decline this sale. We cannot, in good conscience, sell these S.O.A.T.'s to an entity that only wishes to use them to figure out how to defeat them. If these countermeasures arise, you understand it would be disasterous for our market of S.O.A.T.'s, and it would be completely unfair to the nations that have already invested their military so heavily in them. We applaud you for being so honest with your motives, and for being so understanding as to the source of the Dozle war.

IC: Resi,

I understand your concern, although arguments could be made for necessity spawning a newer generation of machines that could be priced higher and that other nations would buy those machines in the same amounts, which would increase revenue. But I digress.

We hope to do business with you in the future, although I must ask- is there a particular reason this particular machine was picked? Was it symbolism, or was it just an interest in the mechanisms of these particular machines? Or something else entirely?

(And we're pretty sure it's not robots that kill people, it's the dictators and rogue AIs that do.)

To the Esteemed Potentate of Tiburon:

True, but as of now nations have invested heavily in these new 'bots, and it hasn't even been a sales year yet. Betraying our customers at this juncture would do horrors for our international reguard, and our brand-name trust. Anything with a ResiCorp logo on it would be highly suspect, and that's something we don't want.

As for why we chose the S.O.A.T.'s, it's fairly simple. These are battle-tested robots. Their design is proven to be pretty close to a be-all end-all of combat robots. They were Dozle's troop, and reguardless of the fact he lost the war they put up a damn good fight. Not only does it have the "battle-tested" label tagged onto its name, but it also has "historic memorabilia" labeled on there too. The S.O.A.T.'s are, for better or worse, a very effective piece of history, and history sells.

We understand the importance of integrity for ResiCorp, although we will leave with the note that in our opinion, our nation's Virgo Cubed mobile dolls could kick some serious ass. We would actually buy these for testing, training, and customization purposes, but that would infuriate the Tiburonese citizens who happen to be descendants of Vrakian and LRRian veterans of the Dozle Wars.

Just a hint, but if you ever plan on marketing the Virgo Cubed you should probably drop the "mobile doll" suffix. Appropriate as it seems, most national leaders still don't like the idea of being defended by "dolls". It's a marketing faux pas.

IC: Resi,

Yes. Well, although being defended by a doll may sound kinda weak, the dolls are state-of-the-art machines that were specifically built for military superiority...

In any case, you'd want to take this one up with our supplier, the Double Zeta Corporation.

The Engineers Guild has completed it's test of this construct. It performed well below the usual standards of combat constructs manufactured by the Guild. However, The Autarch is still interested in purchasing a number of these constructs for use at our yet to be built terrestrial base, simply as it is logistically more feasible.

The price of these constructs is simply too high in respect to it's performance. The Autarch would be willing to conclude a contract for purchase, but it must be at a reduced price.

Open letter to the Engineers Guild:

These robots were tested through the Dozle War and passed with flying colors, a trial-by-fire that not many robots could match. Should we have known you were going to use these robots as a vessel for self-promotion, we would not have sold them to you. As such, we will not sell you more at a reduced price.

In parting, we feel obligated to point out that it's a little suspicious when a collective such as yours tests our robots against theirs, and somehow their robots win. The phrase "conflict of interests" comes to mind.

OOC: That is somewhat of a hyperbole or even an outright lie. They were only effective in massive wave attacks against energy weapons and electromatic propelled ordinace. Hell they were smashed in huge numbers by 30mm CIWS weapons using explosive shells at less that 2000 meters.

Of course the CIWS systems had to be on armored platforms to survive the incomming fire of the SOATS,
but still they still mangaged to do signigicant damage to the Dozle assult.

And of course the SOATs had a real weakness is against gravemtrically suspended armored drones with energy weapons. Which was shown in the Breakthrough at Tunnel 18.

Open letter to the Engineers Guild:

These robots were tested through the Dozle War and passed with flying colors, a trial-by-fire that not many robots could match. Should we have known you were going to use these robots as a vessel for self-promotion, we would not have sold them to you. As such, we will not sell you more at a reduced price.

In parting, we feel obligated to point out that it's a little suspicious when a collective such as yours tests our robots against theirs, and somehow their robots win. The phrase "conflict of interests" comes to mind.

AUTOMATED REPLY UNIT #2851
TONE: {AGITATED}


The constructs built by the Engineers Guild are not for sale to anyone. Therefore it would be pointless for the Engineers Guild to stage fixed tests to promote the superiority of their constructs, it would serve no purpose. It has also already been decided that the constructs we purchase for our new terrestrial embassy will be provided by a terrestrial manufacturer. The Engineers Guild is not competing to provide these constructs, nor will they.

Your constructs were given a standard battery of operational and survivability tests in which they scored in the 'average' range on all tests. Your constructs were never tested 'against' any other constructs, but against a range of variables that calculate performance in an unbiased manner.

We will continue to look for a terrestrial supplier.

To the esteemed potentate of Gordenia:

We are sorry that your order has been backlogged, we are experiencing a period of civil unrest that proves detrimental to production. However, we are doing our best to fulfill your order as soon as humanly possible. These units you have ordered are being transferred from our factories in Defacto Russia, far from the unrest in our nation's capital. Please note our sincerest apologies as to this delay.

The units will arrive each in their own way, the Ravens and Tanks simply flying themselves over to your nation, while the robots and weapons will simply be shipped via spaceplane, as will the construction crews for the modern city packs. Expect delivery gradually over the course of the next year.

Also, your payment plan is acceptable, but with one minor change. Should you send any of your purchase into battle, we will require the last part of the payment plan from you on those units even if they are damaged. Damage on the battlefeild, after all, is far from normal wear and tear.
