Breitenburg Begins Bio-Engineering Project (ATTN All)

Breitenburg
24-07-2006, 20:34
The labs of Breitenburg have begun a new bio-engineering program. Their goals are to explore new areas of biology and utilize these in various ways. Viruses and genetic engineering will be used. Progress will be announced here, and Individual files will be made for experiments. Only a few experiments are being made at this time, however, results are expected to show soon. The program is fully endorsed by the emperor of Breitenburg.

Progress Made- First strains of virus, dubbed The R-Virus, administered to several rodent test subjects.
Results- Death In 100% of subjects.
Overview- Progress made, but more testing is needed to refine the virus before administiring it to other subjects.

Progress Made- A Refined version of the R-Virus tested on several rodent subjects.
Result- Death in 75% of the subjects, 25% percent survived
Overview- More refining nescessary, however, the survivors will now be analyzed for mutations the virus may have caused.

Sir James Irvine reviewed the recent report from Breitenburg. Whilst their projects remained private nothing need be said nor done, however he had his doubts as to how long exactly it would be before they attempted to enter the market LifeWyze already dominated completely.

Progress Made- Rodents tested showed an increase of power and speed, as well as intellegence. A final batch of R-Virus administered to rodent subjects.
Results- Including above increases in surviving rodens, the third batch of rodents had a 90% survival rate. All the above increases occured in the third group of survivors. Thanks to a generous grant from the Emperor of Breitenburg, Emperor Erik I, more testing will begin shortly. Three new species will be tested on. They are howler monkeys, monitor lizards, and pit bulls.

Progress Made- Easily the most productive of the experiments. Both the howler monkeys and pit bulls went thorugh mutations after the R-Virus was administered. They died, then came back to life. They had large increases in aggression, strength, and speed. The minitor lizards, however, had a completely different mutation. They grew in size, some up to two and a half times their original size.
Results- The R-Virus caused very interesting mutations in both mammals and reptiles, including increased strength, speed, size, and aggression.
Overview- More pecies will be tested on to see if they have the same mutations.

When Can I expect to see these hit the market?


The bwelow is a super fancy tag which wil resault in almost nothing...

Yes, it is sad that they put so much efotr into stuff that does nothing, but that is what they do.

Feel free to capture the "spy".
IC:

PROHT
New Roanoke Island, Joycamp 626 (Some nations might recognize this)

Captian Donnovan strolled through the corrospondance room, deep within the bunker, up above a small counter insergency operation was underway to mop up what remained of a failed test of one of their weapons, the only resault was a massive pointless and bloodstained revolt harshly put down with the aid of unwitting pawns in PROHT's massive defense strategy.

Donnovan was still slightly groggy from a bump he recieved from one particular terrorist while patroling above ground, but was otherwise healthy.

What he came to this overtly secluded passage was to check up on a leading intell operator, who was recently assigned to check on bio-weapons and bio-weapon outbrakes similar to their own, and look into the possability that it may have been a leaked secret, in which case Donnovan and his HFPF (SOC) would have to take action.

Already they had selected a man capable of infiltrating their system, a late attempt at the failed bio-engineered "Plauge" class weapon delivery system, capable of taking almost any disease and survive without actually killing the disease.

His job was to inject himself with this so called "R-Virus" and bring it back to New Roanoke Island for further study. After which the disease or the carrier would be destryed, whichever was deemed cheaper.

Progrss Made- Three more species will be injected with the R-Virus. They are crows, pythons, and frogs. Also, a spy was found in one of the labs today. After being caught, it was confirmed that he had been infected with the R-virus. The spy, whose identity can not be determined yet, will be kept under study to see what happens when a human is infected with the R-virus.
Resukts- To be determined
Overview- Several species will be tested with the R-Virus.

Secret IC

From: The Commonwealth of the New Confederate States of America
To: The Empire of Breitenburg
Subject: Test Candidates

The Commonwealth congratulates the Emperor on his successes in the development of this Bio-Engineering program, and hopes he recieves fortune in further tests.

The Commonwealth would like to offer the Empire the use of test subjects from the New Confederate States in their Bio-Engineering experiments. These test subjects are those convicted of crimes against the Commonwealth and officially sentenced to death. However, under the 'Subject Contingency' Directive of the President of the Commonwealth, they are maintained in top-secret facilities and officially no longer exist. These people can then be used for other purposes, such as the one proposed here.

Progress Made- Captured spy died and was reborn, much like the howler monkeys and pit bulls. He appeared to be a corpses, a zombie.
Results- The man became a zombie, stronger, slower, and more resiliant than an average man. The newly recieved human test subjects will be put into two groups. 50% will have the R-Virus administered, and the other will be saved for later experiments.
Overview- Files to come for fisrt three mutations.

From what we have observed so far, the R-Virus causes zombification in mammals and genetic mutations in reptiles. The data from the next group of creatures should be arriving soon.
Breitenburg
25-07-2006, 15:59
Progress Made- Results from the admisiring of R-Virus to crow, frog, and python. The crow became zombified, but all together rather the same. The frog was horribly mutated beyond belief. Only the python had any interesting mutations. Like the monitor lizard, it grew larger, up to three times its original size, and gained a new mutation.
Results- Death in the frog, zombification in the crow, mutation in the python.
Overvie- R-Virus causes death in amphibians, mutation in reptiles, and zombification in birds. Fish, insects, and invertabrates have yet to be tested.

In address to a recent threat from an anoymous group: We have the right to research this. We have harmed no one in these experiments. These weaopns are not going to be used. We are merely experimenting to see what this virus is capable of. If a nation chooses to use these, then that is their chpice. We wil npt use them. Forcing us to stop what we are doing by force seems like terrorism to us.

Progress Made- R-Virus administered to an eel, a shark, and a spider. In response to the threat made by an anoymous group, security has been stepped up, and scientits and guards from other nations have been taken to labs of the highest security to prevent any harm.
Results- yet to be seen
Overview- More security and new results to come soon.

Progress Made- The anonymous group has deterred their attack, so all is safe. The shark and spider had no mutations at all, but the eel grew to a larger size.
Results- R-Virus works on some types of fish, and may or may not work on insects and other invertebrtaes.
Overview- More data most be gained.

OOC: THis a puppet posting for Zackaroth. I've been hit by a glitch and I cant get on the fourms. This is the country I am posting as http://www.nationstates.net/zackaroth


The High Council of Zackaroth would like to know what this virus is being used for? Two years ago our country was hit by a zombie creating plague. It was contained and neaturalized. We do not want a similar virus being brought upon the world. Is it being for study purposes or as Bio-weapons?
Breitenburg
25-07-2006, 20:45
We understand your concerns. As of right now, we are only using the virus for research purposes. Although possible to use the creatures as bio-weapons, we have no intention to do so until everything is worked out, which includes keeping the virus from srpeading unless it is in a controlled area, and keeping the virus from duplication. This wil not happen for a long time, so by that point, there will be no chance for a zombie plague.
Von Strangaild
25-07-2006, 20:55
How can we be assured that if the creatures are used for bio-weaponry and are killed in a battle are taken by a country with ill intents and attempts to create a virus of its own?
Breitenburg
25-07-2006, 22:38
How can we be assured that if the creatures are used for bio-weaponry and are killed in a battle are taken by a country with ill intents and attempts to create a virus of its own?

As of this moment, we can not. However, we can engineer the virus to die once the creature is dead, rendering it useless. Again, more research is nescessary before these creatures can even be considered market ready.
Von Strangaild
25-07-2006, 22:48
But if they are sold on the market then couldn't those with ill intents just keep the creature and extract the virus and use it for its own means?
Breitenburg
25-07-2006, 22:52
The same could be said of all types of weapons. It will be a difficult road, but be assured, you will not see any of these creatures on the market until they are ready, and we are able to keep an infection from happening. This may take many years, but we will work on this day and night.
Breitenburg
26-07-2006, 00:31
Progress Made- Although the eel grew to larger sizes, nothng else of interest occured.
Results- It is unsure whether we continue with the eel. More species to be experimented on in the near future.
Overview- more research will be undetaken with more species. Also, genetic engineerig will also finally be explored.

Progess Made- The convicts given to us by several nations were injected with the R-Virus. They all became zombies. The zombies are kept in seperate holding containers, and are in a comatose state.
Results- Confirmation that humans become zombies when injected with R-Viurs.
Overview- Soon, more uses for the R-Virus will be explored. Also, we recieved a large amount of amber from the personal collection of the Emperor. We will begin to see if we can obtain DNA from the mosquitoes inside.
Breitenburg
26-07-2006, 14:25
Progress Made- The human zombies show signs that they may be able to be mutated further. More experiments will be made. Also, DNA was extracted from a few samples of amber. We will see if it is useable or not.
Results- More experiments to come.
Overview- Expect more things in the coming year.
Breitenburg
26-07-2006, 17:37
Breitenburg has begun an attempt to make the organisms created in our labs marketable. This will take a long time, so don't expect it coming soon. Also, the DNA found in the amber is able to be recreated, so soon, a prehistoric creature will be given life.

26-07-2006, 20:53
Progress Made- Exciting news. A young Tyrannosaurus Rex is now being feed in a mock habitat. Now that we now we can clone Dinosaurs, we will focus on that for awhile.
Results- Along with the Tyrannosaurus, we have discovered a way to increase their growth rate without harming the creature in anyway. This will be experimented on shortly.
Overview- A whole slew of options are now open to us. Stay tuned for more.
