Permissum Astrum Subleuco

Imperial Secriat of Science

Advanced Projects Office

Nations allied with the Kiravian Empire,

In this age of eternal violence, where enitre civilizations are bombed out of existance, where entire cultures are destroyed for political and economic gain, the Empire has seen it necessary to make sure that if we should fall victim to such a fate, then a small sliver of us shall remain to rebuild.

Further, as technology advances, the possiblity of this enigmatic planet, NSEarth, being rendered uninhabitable by human error, or by natural catastrophe, increases. An entire planet cannot be rebuilt by one nation, so we invite members of the Confederate Nations and Utopian Commonwealth to join us.

The "Doomsday Ark" or rather "Operation: Refrigerator" takes the form of a semi-artificial cavern, below the Sascivia Territory, in the Arctic. It has been reinfoced by our engineers to withstand earthquakes, nuclear attack, and other hazards. The cavern will be sustained by geothermal power, and will have an automated control system in case of emergency.

The cavern is an underground structure, intended to hold a large bank of agricultural seeds, radioactive sanitation equipment, water purifiers, a warehouse of various materials, and an electronic databank of the compiled scietific, military, cultural, and historical knowledge of our nations.

Should our civilizations perish in flame, genetic material from each nation shall be included as well.

Again, we seek assistance from our allies, to ensure that a pice of our cultures will be able to rebuild themselves, lest we fall.

As an ally of the Kiravian Empire, the United States of Zoingo is fully behind this project, and will help with its opperation and funding. Today's age is very important and is in a constant struggle, if an error is made and the entire earth as we know it is destroyed, this Doomsday Ark can save man and civlization. Just ask us on our part as to how we can assist you, and we will be there.

Now and Forever,

Official Communiqué

Friends of the Imperium,
Naturally, this will be passed through vote in the High Council of the Utopian Commonwealth. Owing that both Pictavia's and Kirav's stance are pro-development; the motion is complete by the required two thirds majority despite the undeclared Echoese opinion.

The project shall of course receive funding from the Pictish Imperium, however initial projections of the costs will be required first.

Thank you. We would also like to collect samples of Pictish crops, and work with your scientists to create a datbank of Pictavia.

We thank our allies in Zoingo for their help. All we ask is that you send samples of the wildlife and crops of your nation, and compile a databank of your history and culture to be preserved in the Ark. You may update the dtabank as needed, as well. If you wish, we also welcome your help in out Terraforming Research Office, which aims to find strategies to repair the world's ecosystem, should it be destroyed.

occ: I didn't know that you had a royal colony (refering to TFEI socalist government thread)
I need to get me one of those :p

Certanly, we are sending some of our crop seed over to you, but we must warn you, the rice and coca seeds that we are sending you can only grow inside of Zoingo because of our environment. Over the years, the crop mutatied, and for reasons that cant particularly be explained, that is how our chocolate became famous for its rich taste. Please be carefull with them, it has defined our very country. We would gladly insert information about our history and culture into the databank, it will just take us some time to gather the information. And we will also send over our top environmental scientists to your Terraforming Research Office.

OOC: Aye. Although New Harbour isn't one of the two Royal Colonies. A very incomplete list of colonia can be found here (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Provinces_of_the_Kiravian_Empire).

Immense thanks. We appreciate your help. May it not have to serve our nations in the future, but if it must, let it serve them well.

Official Government Response

We are behind this project 100%. We have already stockpiled a number of seeds and DNA strands for regrowth and cloning. We have compiled the DNA of just about all dolphin species and a large number of other species of all sorts. We are shipping these to you as fast as we can, be careful, they are part of what define us as a nation.

Signed,

As a close ally of the Kiravian Empire Fordock ponders as to what would be required for this project for the Principality of Fordock. As a gift though we donate the seed to a Fordockian "Chocolate" tree which is genetically modified to withstand disastrous conditions and produce a strongly flavored spice that is similar to a combination of vanilla and cinnamon. It is named for the color of its bark. The tree tends to grow up to 30 feet tall and normally has a diameter of 1.5 Feet at the base. 200 Seed are enclosed with this message.

Sincerely
President Kichler and the Ecological Society of Fordock

Official Communique

Realizing the importance of such a project, the USSY would like to contribute. Although we are not allies of Kirav, and only have an embassy in the Empire, we hope that we may be allowed to help. As a sign of good will, we would be able to provide a team of our top scientists. This team, mainly biologists and structural engineers, are the most qualified in Yanitaria.

Wishing for peace,
Citizen Herb Northstorm,
Secretary of Foreign Affairs

We thank the Echo Islands and Fordock for their contributions. The shipping of such samples will be handled most carefully.

Yanitiria's help is most acceptable. Thank you for youe endeavour.

Although the Empire of Katislov is not allies with Kirav we would also like to help in this project and will send 10 of our scientists along with 100 seeds of the very rare Katislovin Humming Tree, a history of Katislov and samples of some of our newest artifical materials for the project

We thank the Katislovi for their contributions.

OOC: Yanitiria and Katislov are allowed to help, but please, anyone else, if you're not a Kiravian ally, please wait until I open this up more.

To Kirav:

Thank you for allowing us to participate. Yanitaria is home to several species of plant found no where else, or in inaccessible places.

Our scientists will be arriving soon, with a cargo crate full of samples. However, on plant in particular may serve to be a problem. The Miracle Berry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_fruit) has very delicate seeds, which already only have a 25% chance of germination. We have collected many fresh ones, and would like to know if there is any existing technology to keep them fresh. The Miracle Berry has a few very odd characteristics that we feel should definitely be kept for future generations.

With such a delicate seed, the only thing we can do for now, I suppose, is to wait until the plants mature. We can keep the matures plants, and the seeds that they produce, in an artificial biome that mimics their living conditions, whilst we figure out a way to keep them fresh.

Alternatively, and as a last resort, we could simply copy the genetic material, to re-clone the seeds in the future, or when needed.
