PRA: Creative Weapons Division II Branch
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v652/blaesa/PRABanner.png
Welcome to Pale Rider Arms' Creative Weapons Division, the world's foremost innovator in biological and chemical weapons! Here we sell some of the world's most deadly agents, for extremely reasonable prices. So, look around, and remember, PRA is here for you!
PRA enforces strict standards on who it sells to. Pale Rider Arms reserves the right to refuse sales to any nation without disclosing information on said refusal. PRA will also conduct back-ground checks to ensure that it has adequate information on its customers.
While we frown upon the reproduction of our bio-materials, we acknowledge that it is simply impossible to enforce an anti-reproduction policy. Therefore, any nation that purchases from the BIOWEAPONS section may reproduce those products. However, selling said products to other nations excepting Otagia and Pale Rider Arms is strictly prohibited under ANY circumstances. Reproducing products outside the bioweapons range is also prohibited, as is selling said products to a nation other than Otagia or Pale Rider Arms.

Generation Disease
One of the most sadistic weapons in the PRA arsenal, Generation Disease is specifically engineered to effect only a single species. The disease is lethal within 24 hours, causing death from massive internal hemmorhaging. Symptoms include swelling, black vomit, weeping blood, sweating blood, bloody feces, bleeding from the mouth, nose, and ears, bloody secretions, cranial swelling, bloating, and death. Death is most often caused by exsanguination, organ failure/loss, and/or cranial detonation. Symptoms begin approximately ten to fifteen minutes before death (23 hours after infection), although the subject is infectious the entire period. The disease is only active in post-pubescent members of the species, and is carried in the bodily fluids, such as blood, vomit, and saliva. The disease is transmitted by the pre-pubescent members, who often infect the parents via a kiss. The disease particle can penetrate skin easily, allowing surface contact with infected materials to be lethal.
If survivors are requested, a life-span can be added to the disease by PRA's geneticists. Thus, the disease would die out before the children reach puberty. Therefor, slaves that ARE taken are more docile, and less likely to rebel successfully once taken. Otherwise, children will die once they reach puberty.
Tests have indicated that the disease is 100% lethal, and 100% contagious, with ALL exposed subjects infected on first contact. The longest lived subject, a 31 year old Elven male survived for 1 hour and 21 minutes, although he suffered blood loss of 721%, massive organ failure of the lungs, heart, and kidneys by minute 19, and was deemed brain-dead by minute 7. The runner-up was a 56 year old dwarf, who lasted for 1 hour and 13 minutes.

PRICE: 150,000,000,000 USD for one vial of concentrated agent and a dispersal unit of your choice.
AREA OF EFFECT: 1 mile radius
Beta-Anthrax
http://niah.naro.affrc.go.jp/disease/anthrax/images/anthrax-2_00.jpg
A modified, weaponized form of bacillus anthracis, Beta Anthrax is a lethal, aerosolized form of standard Anthax. Capable of lingering for years and still maintaining its lethality, Beta-Anthrax is an excellent choice for area denial. Pale Rider Arms bio-techs have also added an unparralled level of resistance to antibiotics to all strains of Beta Anthrax.
Beta-Anthrax is contracted by coming into contact with the bacterium's spores. This can cause three forms of the disease:
Cutaneous- Contact with skin. Onset time of 16 hours. Causes lesions, which rapidly spread and cover the body. 65% fatality untreated, rarely lethal if treated properly.
Inhalation- Contact with respiratory tract. Onset time of 2 days. Initially similar to a cold, causes lesions in respiratory tract, respiratory arrest, and death. 99% fatal untreated, 75% fatal treated.
Intestinal- Consumption of contaminated food. Onset time of 2 days. Nausea, vomiting, stomach ulcers, death. 99% fatal untreated, 35% fatal treated.
PRICE: $100,000,000 a dose, plus a single dispersal device of your choice.
Eye-Killer
Living in the tear-ducts of its host, Eye-Killer causes severe itching in the corners of ones eyes, dryness, and severe necrosis of ocular tissue. Upon infection, the virus begins to breed quickly, devouring tissue at an incredible rate. Within two hours, the disease will have caused permanent blindness, and within four, it will completely destroy the eyes.
The disease is spread when the subject rubs his eyes with contaminated hands/gloves/etc. An aerosolized version is also available, and if combined with carcerands, can be injected, ingested or inhaled.
PRICE: $10,000,000/dose non-aerosol
$25,000,000/dose aerosol
AeroClot
Originally a inhaled coagulant for combat personnel, AeroClot was discovered to cause heart attacks and brain aneurisms when too much was taken. Now, in addition to its original use, AeroClot is a potent chemical weapon. Thickening the blood, it causes clots to form, which lodge in the narrow arteries of the brain, and cause the heart to overwork and destroy itself. The lungs also become a solid bloodclot, causing respiratory failure as well. Death occurs within 60 seconds.
The gas is slightly heavy, and will not rise more than ten meters above the ground, compromising its use slightly in urban areas.
Price: 100,000/dose. One dose will cover an area approximately 100 meters in radius, ten meters into the air.
Carcerands
http://siggy.chem.ucla.edu/VOH/30C/Cram_carcerand_benzyne_files/image004.png
A break-through in nano-scale medicine, carcerands are nano-capsules that are "programmed" to open under preordained conditions, releasing their cargo. The capsules can hold nearly anything, from medicine molecules to virii, to other chemical weapons. These capsules are injected into (or inhaled or swallowed by) a living host, and can be used to deliver their package to specific locations, allowing precision delivery of medicines, or creating a remotely detonated walking viral bomb.
When ordering, please specify conditions for trigger (target organ, chemical stimuli, etc).
Costs:
100 USD/dose injected
500 USD/dose aerosolized
All cargoes are sold seperately.
Corromis
Gas masks got you down? NBC suits ruining your perfectly timed chemical attacks? Then try PRA's guaranteed anti-countermeasure gas, Corromis!
Composed of a variety of chemicals, each designed to counter a specific filtration system. Corromis will violently react with activated charcoal, creating dangerous fumes in the process. It will flood filters with small particles, requiring removal of the filter before the wearer suffocates. Corromis also corrodes rubber, breaking seals in NBC suits and rendering them useless.
Cost: 1000 USD/ dose
Coverage: 1000 sq meters/ dose

OOC: Who do you think you are, mondoth? If he wants to sell N/B/C weaponry, let him. I do.
We will take 1000 doses of Corromis for $1,000,000.00 USD. Thanks. Please ship them via Air, and in break-resistent containers.
Asgarnieu: We thank you for your business. Your order will be shipped upon payment.
Mondoth: We regret your decision, and hope only for friendship between our nations. In the mean time, accept this gift of powder sugar donuts as a symbol of our good will.
OOC: Who do you think you are, mondoth? If he wants to sell N/B/C weaponry, let him. I do.
OOC: who do YOU think YOU are? I can refuse to trade with anyone I want, I'm not stopping him from selling anything, I'm just stating my preferences in a legally and politically binding fashion. And for the record, I don't care about Nuclear weapons, just biologicval and chemical ones.
OOC: Mondoth, you know, after a while, you may just run out of trading partners...
IC: Pale Rider Arms would also like to send good will presents to Mondoth, composed of flour, more powdered sugar, deodorant powder, baking soda, and silica sand, all in unmarked anonymous packages. These gifts have been sent to all Mondothian government offices.
OOC: probably not, most people don't trade in biological or chemical weapons.
IC: These 'gifts' have been secured and sent to the Wildfire disease control center for analysis, pending examination of these 'gifts' any further attempts to send anything to Mondoth will be regarded as an act of war and be responded to accordingly.
(OOC: I don't play nice where Biological or Chemical weapons are concerned, its the result of many wars and rebellions in which millions died by fierce diseases and nerve agents, I'm working on writing an NS wiki article on it, you can see the begenings of it already, just search NSwiki for Mondoth.)
OOC: Do NOT accept Mondoth. DO NOT ACCEPT, he might have contaminated them!!! :p
OOC: Do NOT accept Mondoth. DO NOT ACCEPT, he might have contaminated them!!! :p
OOC: Nooooooo. Really? Actually, said packages are uncontaminated. It's just my standard response to those decrying my sales of unconventional weapons.
IC: Otagia condemns Mondoth's extremist posturing. Their response is disproportional to the actions of PRA, who has provided free food services to many Mondothian schools and prisons. PRA also disagrees with the ban on its services to Mondoth. Many PRA products (such as Carcerands) are beneficial, improving the health of citizens across the globe.
Aaaand, now sliding down the slippery slope to certain doom...

PRICE: 150,000,000,000 USD for one vial of concentrated agent and a dispersal unit of your choice. In aerosol form, a single vial is enough to cover a one mile radius, with duration dependant on prevailing weather conditions. Additional doses may be harvested by the purchasing nation, but they must do so at their own risk. Also, formulas are changed every decade as to prevent countermeasures.
Can this be used to torture people? If so, I want some for my attack on earth nations.
I am going to have to postpone your order indefinitely pending an in-depth back-ground check. Also, generation disease cannot be used for torturing, as it is 100% lethal.

Brief Background Check:
Shangia:
Very nice and good alien race. Known for wiping out other intelligent species in this galaxy and then stripping those species' planets of their resources.
Earth is their next target.
Shangians like to help planetary natives by torturing them to death.
They have recently kidnapped 7 people from earth and are in the process of torturing them to find out human weaknesses.
My high horse tends to revolve around the fact that I live on Earth, and prefer not to have my wares used in RPs of poor quality or unprovoked attacks. I do have a reputation to maintain. Thus the background checks.

Otagia, here's an idea for your biological weapons division:
Pleurisitic Airborne Virus
Causes the inflammation of the pleurisitic membrane surrounding the lungs. The sack then fills with bodily fluids, compressing the lungs until the organs can no longer take in oxygen. The victim dies a slow, painful death by asphyxiation. Side effects are Chest Bloating, wheezing, coughing, and oozing pores. Airborne and highly contagious. Death occurs within a specific time set in the genetic code of the virus.
The idea is yours for a billion dollars. Or 500 million. Choose one.

Otagia, here's another one for you:
Pulmonary Lipid Clot Virus:
A two pronged virus. It causes the stomach to produce higher acid levels, thereby digesting foods faster. This causes the victim to ingest greater quantities of food. All fats and other lipids ingested are caused to cement themselves within the Aorta and Ventricles of the heart. Death occurs after next meal. Death usually occurs via heart attack, or cell-death.
This virus is not highly contagious, but can be transferred. It is best used for assasinations, as the virus breaks down quickly after the host has died. Leaves no traces.
The Idea is yours for another 500 million.
[Someone's going to have a lot to share with the IVF :)]
GZ: Again, we agree. Money has been wired.
Ankhmet: Actually, I plan not to join the IVF at the moment. It's contrary to my interests to supply cures to my diseases. While I have my own vaccines, I don't plan to sell them. If you want vaccines, feel free to buy samples of my bioweapons, though you must keep in mind that I alter the strains significantly on a ten year rotation. Any vaccines made before a rotation would be useless against the new strain.
Bioweapon Breeding Vat
http://www.vineyardvarieties.com/images/south_africa_wine_fermentation_tank.jpg
A vital part of any bioweapon harvesting project, breeding vats can produce massive amounts of weapon in relatively short periods of time. The vat is filled with sugar and tissue cultures, which the virii or bacteria being cultivated consume. Temperatures are maintained at ideal levels for the specific agents being produced.
Cost: $20,000/vat
Pulmonary Lipid Clot Virus
A two pronged virus. It causes the stomach to produce higher acid levels, thereby digesting foods faster. This causes the victim to ingest greater quantities of food. Absorbtion of lipids into the bloodstream is facilitated, and all fats and other lipids ingested are caused to cement themselves within the Aorta and Ventricles of the heart. Death occurs after next meal. Death usually occurs via heart attack, or cell-death.
This virus is not highly contagious, but can be transferred. It is best used for assasinations, as the virus breaks down quickly after the host has died. Leaves no traces.
Cost: 250,000,000/dose OR 25,000/dose if non-production agreement is signed.
Super-Flu
Influenza: one of the most common diseases on the planet, and one of the most deadly. Every year, the flu kills 36,000 in the United States alone. And yet the flu is often ignored by the population at large. This presents an excellent opening for biological attack, as diseases that can masquerade as the flu can, at least for a short period, evade detection, and thus prevention.
This is why the Superflu was developed. For the first day of active infection, Superflu acts as a normal flu, causing a fever, head-ache, diarrhea, vomiting and a host of other symptoms. After this first day, the symptoms begin to worsen. The headache and fever begin to cause dementia, ingesting food or water becomes impossible, fevers rise to over 110 degrees, and cranial pressure rises. This can lead to rather startling demises, including cranial detonation due to excessive pressure. Death rate is 100%

Dude, I know how you can make more money.
Charge $10,000 USD for a restock of the culture materials. And the bioweapons will not procreate within the vat without your specific consumeables. $10,000 buys one restock batch.
BZ Gas
The code-name of 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate, BZ is a potent non-lethal hallucinogen and intoxicant. With an onset time of approximately 15 minutes, the colorless, odorless BZ gas is excellent for use prior to an attack, or to cause wide-spread panic and confusion.
BZ causes vivid hallucinations and illusions (misidentifying objects/persons), quite different from the fuzzy hallucinations produced by such narcotics as LSD in that the hallucinations from BZ are clear-cut, and seem entirely real. These symptoms alone can produce severe amounts of friendly fire. Other symptoms include lack of fine muscle control, short attention span, disorientation, slurred speech, poor judgement, and altered levels of consciousness.

PhosphoRush
Designed to eliminate enemy troops and vehicles quickly with little collateral damage, PhosphoRush is an excellent choice for the discerning general, and is awe-inspiring when combined with other quality PRA products such as CorroMis.
The weapon works by entering through the skin, enters cells through the plasma membrane, and causing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to break down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP). This releases energy into the cell, which provides it with a boost to metabolic activities. In the short term (nearly instantly), the subject will exhibit high blood pressure, rapid heart palpatation, greatly increased energy levels, and hyperventilation. Within a minute, the energy released is too much for the cells to bear, causing widespread cell death across the body. Heart failure, respiratory failure, brain damage, widespread tissue damage, and organ failure across the body. The subject will be dead within two minutes. In addition to the above effects, the phosphorous released from the ATP will be excreted from the body, as cellular waste and in sweat, urine and feces. This means that any victim has the potential to become a human torch, especially post mortem when the bowels and bladder empty themselves.
Symptoms in plants are quite different from those in animals. While the plant does die, the hardy internal structure of the plant prevents any visible symptoms, besides a slight waxy texture to some species, caused by build-up of phosphorous in and along the outer layer of cellulose. Needless to say, these plants are incredibly flammable, and can often explode violently. PhospoRush is suitable for use as a incendiary mine field, and has the benefit of lacking any mechanical parts (besides the possibility of a detonator).
Area of Effect: 200m square/dose

Life Eater Virus
The most horrific creation of Pale Rider Arms, the Life Eater virus is capable of annihilating all life on a planet. Attacking cell membranes and cell walls, the virus quickly breaks down these structural components, destroying cells on a massive scale. The virus is airborne, and is spread quickly by the massive destabilization of its host, which spreads the disease with its panicked flailing. The particles can be thrown up to a mile, and will quickly infect and kill any organism it lands on, continuing the cycle.
With its insanely fast rate of reproduction, the disease can quickly rise to pandemic proportions. But death is not the end for victims of the Life Eater. The virus produces huge amounts of flammable gas as a by-product of its life cycle. This gas floats around infection sites, inevitably coming into contact with a good source of heat, whether a lit candle, a gas grill, or even an electrical socket. When this happens, a massive firestorm will erupt. Projections show that when the first fire storm ignites, it can quickly spread across the planet, annihilating all life, both above and below the surface.

PhospoRend
A variant of the PhosphoRush (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9755175&postcount=53) weapon, PhosphoRend does not stop at just causing the ATP series of molecules to break down, it also attacks the bonds in the DNA structure, seperating the sugars and phosphates that make up the outer structure.
Exposure to PhosphoRend causes symptoms similar to those of acute hemorrhagic fever, including disintegration of internal organs, hemophilia, and high fever. The victim dies within five minutes of exposure, and phosphorous deposits spread across the remains can ignite very easily.
Symptoms in plants are quite different from those in animals. While the plant does die, the hardy internal structure of the plant prevents any visible symptoms, besides a slight waxy texture to some species, caused by build-up of phosphorous in and along the outer layer of cellulose. Needless to say, these plants are incredibly flammable, and can often explode violently. PhospoRend is suitable for use as a incendiary mine field, and has the benefit of lacking any mechanical parts (besides the possibility of a detonator).

KoloBac
Category: Riot Control
Symptoms: Possible numbness, possible light-headedness, near instantaneous unconsciousness (duration of approximately 2 hours after exposure)
Possible After Effects: rarely nausea, headache, tiredness
Vector: Inhaled, contact
An excellent choice for crowd control, KoloBac is a bacterial crowd suppression agent. Feeding off of other microorganisms, KoloBac digests them, and secretes an aerosolized form of Carfentanil (arguably the world’s most potent analgesic), as well as a specialized chemical that blocks certain receptors for Carfentanil, preventing lethal dosages. KoloBac covers an area with a cloud of these chemicals, which will last as long as the bacteria are still present. Clean-up is relatively easy, simply spray high powered bleach on the effected area, and the heavy ground-clinging bacteria will be killed. Within twenty minutes, the cloud will disperse. The bacteria are also sensitive to extreme heat and cold, and will survive approximately 10 minutes in such environments.
Protective measures can be taken to prevent exposure to Carfentanil. The suggested method is a sealed NBC suit, with gas mask or independent air supply. This is due to the fact that Carfentanil can and will penetrate the epidermis, reaching an effective dosage within seconds.
Carfentanil on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carfentanil)
Cost: 400,000,000 USD per sample
VITAS
Short for virally induced toxic allergy syndrome, VITAS causes severe anaphylactic shock in patients. The disease lies seemingly dormant for the first twelve hours of the infection, followed by a period of up to 48 hours where the patient is extremely infectious but shows no outward symptoms. After this, the patient will quickly go into severe and nearly universally fatal anaphylactic shock. This causes the throat to swell, closing the windpipe and suffocating the patient. Other symptoms include hives, hypotension, vomiting (also fatal when the throat is swollen shut), unconsciousness and itching. VITAS is airborne, and as such, can be difficult to contain. Precautions are advised when utilizing VITAS as a weapon.
Cost/dose: 1,000,000,000 USD

OOC: Before I buy anything Otagia, do you have any counters to your WMDs?
OOC: I do. I don't sell them however. Still, I'm not adverse to you developing your own countermeasures, just remain aware that I alter the strain every few years, so old vaccines do nothing after that, meaning that you'd want to buy the new strain. Of course, if you're just using a strain you bought from me, and are afraid of friendly fire, your vaccines would work just fine.

[OOC- Question. How, well, realistic and possible are you going for your chemical weapons? This is more to the non-corromis stuff, as I have no background on the process involved in the corromis. What I do have a strong background in is biology and your biologically-attacking chemical weapons have large problems with them. Which, of course, isn't a problem if you're not going for much realism. Should the opposite be the case, I can help you try to make these much more grounded in realistic biological processes.]

We of the Dominion of Me Li are currently in the process of studying Biological vectors. We assume that your Breeding vats will likewise grow NonO. designs? Essentially this is an industrial vat... How big is it exactly? The price seems rather small for a large Vat.
Bioweapon Breeding Vat
http://www.vineyardvarieties.com/ima...ation_tank.jpg
A vital part of any bioweapon harvesting project, breeding vats can produce massive amounts of weapon in relatively short periods of time. The vat is filled with sugar and tissue cultures, which the virii or bacteria being cultivated consume. Temperatures are maintained at ideal levels for the specific agents being produced.
Cost: $20,000/vat
We will take 100 vats @ 20 000 = 200 000 NSD

Corromis is effective against IFV filtration systems right?
Me Li: Define NonO. The vats are 5m tall and 2 meters in diameter, and are similar to similar tanks used in brewing. If you're still interested, your order will be confirmed.
Blackhelm: Should be, unless they're using a rather exotic method.
