After several bloody and costly engagments, our nation is looking for ways to handle ships using AI systems to reduce casualties due to the nature of the use of ships in the navy. We're looking for anyone who can deliver a system for a medium-sized vessel, cruisers more specifically. Said system must be able to stand up to electromagnetic pulses, and be able to independently handle multiple CIWS systems. As stated, we are willing to pay any nation with such technology good money to provide it to us, or to pay any corporation to develop a system for us.

Sincerely,

Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto III

Grand Admiral of Pschycotic Pschycos

Otagia will gladly grant you access to QUETZAL, our regional digital sentient. With a simple installation of a QUETZAL core on any ship requesting its services, QUETZAL can provide precision fire control, and even missile guidance. All Otagian chipsets are optical, which allows them to operate at faster speeds and disarming the threat of EMP weaponry. All intership comms routed through QUETZAL are handled by ansible, allowing instantaneous communication.

If you are interested, please respond with an offer.

OOC: Wait, is this PMT? If it is, ditch the ansible part...

Our current generation of ships are using the Pegasus N.I. or Niche Intelligence, highly capable in the fields of battle though lacking in other aspects. Using a small briefcase sized memory crystal and optical chipsets, it is immune to EMP strikes, and is capable of reproducing itself via the Landri Replication Algorimth.

We can give you a few sets in exchange for trade agreements, and a non-agression pact.

Both of you have extremely effecient hardware. Therefore, we are prepared to offer Otagia one trillion dollars for their system. At the same time, we are prepared to offer Leafanistan 500 billion dollars, along with a lift on import tariffs on said nation's goods with unlimited shipping access to certain ports, along with the requested non-aggression pact.

Sincerely,

Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto III

Otagia readily agrees to this offer. We will deliver a working QUETZAL core and blueprints to make more. Also included is a hard drive containing a compressed version of the QUETZAL DS so that you may install it onto other cores. Note that attempting to alter the program will result in catastrophic failures, and possibly rampancy.

Also, as a side note, please be aware that QUETZAL is especially effective as a CIWS gunner when no allied targets are available, as it can simply allow its Id subcomponent to direct target acquisition without oversight.

We do sincerely thank you for your system.

Leafanistan agrees to these conditions, and since you gave us so much money, we shall send scientists and engineers to teach you how to replicate the memory crystal. The 5 working kits are being prepped for transport.

The Pegasus N.I. was developed as a NavCom N.I. when scientists realised that the degree of flexibility required for Astrogation was so high, the Pegasus was able to make recommendations in other fields, an astounding accomplishment, when Math N.I.s could barely write an essay on themselves. The Pegasus was then altered to serve as both NavCom and Weapons Control, as well as provide general advice on the battlefield. Attempts to create true A.I. via the same way has failed.

Danger: Only alter code when using the Landri Replication Software (Limited Degree, all you can do is add specs of ships and weapons systems, which can be "taught" to it after its been loaded and intialized), any other attempts to do so will result in catstrophic system failure, and/or systemic rampancy with viral tendencies.

Kjata is in possession of a USA AI computer system, this was in the information stolen from Microsoft and rebuilt in Kjata.

Its called ARTEMIS.

Automatic Reasoning and Tactical Emergency Mode Intelligent Software.

ARTEMIS uses pre-programmed information about many of the world's combat and civilian vehicles, including ships. For any target not listed in its database it comes up with a reasoning on how it works and what are key areas.

This software uses weapons to get the job done safely, it targets tank treads and guns if the target was an unknown tank. If it was a ship, it would target the steering and radar.

ARTEMIS is meant as a complete AI that can be installed in any system where it has 20 amps power to run on. This system can even be switched into a Kill and Friendly mode. Kill mode is when the AI knowingly targets such sections of an enemy as fuel and weapons storage. This usually destroys the entire target without wasting ammo. In Friendly mode, the target is usually rendered helpless, weapons, communications and movement are targeted.

Price for this deadly AI is unknown, so if you require a smart AI ask for an offer.

Leafanistan, thank you for your business.

Unfortunatly, Kjata, I've gotten what I need, but thank you for the offer.
