Roma V to Begin Research into Bionic Implants

Roma V

"It's really quite a breakthrough in science", announced Dr. Pideus Rhoinius, head of the recently established research team. "With our Bionic implants we can give the handicap new legs, arms, and limbs they cant use. We can also gives injured soldiers with missing extremities new ones, it would be like they never lost it." The research team was officially given the Senate's approval to begin Roma V's first researches into improving and developing new Bionic systems.

While we interview Dr. Pideus Rhoinius, he had this to say about the possible future of bionics: "Eventually we're hoping to get to the point where we can correct mental retardation and smaller things like ADD and ADHD. We could do this by implanting chips into the patients skull that will work with the brain and correct the natural defects it has." The doctor also promised that it is possible they could enhance a soldier in the Roman Army to run faster, become stronger, require less sleep, be more resistant to pain.

Critics to the research team and the idea of bionics as a whole have been in full force protesting the last few days. "It's not right. If God wanted you to be blind, then by God you should be blind. It is not man's place to do the works of Jesus and attempt to mend the handicap," argued local Priest Julius Echius. Meanwhile other critics had to say things such as: "Its an interesting and helpful thing to research. I think it would be great to get the handicap back into the work force and be able to help the economy. However I just think this whole thing could be blown out of proportion and become something we'll regret unleashing.", says an anonymous pedestrian whom we stopped to interview.

Currently the research team is looking to hire top scientists from around the world to join in o the research, hoping that with larger numbers they will be able to accomplish a lot more. Will bionics prove to be too much for mankind to handle or will it drive us towards a golden age of efficiency and near perfection we've never seen? We'll see in the coming future.

FROM THE DESK OF PRAETOR BIOLOGICA NATHAN OPOK
TO-DR. PIDEUS RHOINIUS

Dr. Rhoinius,
The Imperium of Belkaros has been using bionic augmentation on our military forces for several years. We also have many civilian programs similar to yours, and would relish the opportunity to work with your team to improve the lives of our peoples. We will send over a team, including myself, to work with you and bring with us some examples of our progress as quickly as we can.
Yours,
Dr. Nathan Opok

Regarding a Merger of Teams

To...Praetor Biologica Nathan Opok

Greetings and well met my friend. I would be honored to have you and your scientists on my team to work cooperatively to improve the future of not only the citizen's of my country, but yours as well and perhaps even the whole world soon enough. Your team's expertise in the research and development of bionics will no doubt come to greatly benefit my team of novice's, including my self, and will hopefully jump start our research and save us some valuable time. I will send for a private jet to arrive at your nation to pick up you and your team as well as all of our equipment to bring them to Roma V so that we may begin once face-to-face introductions have been given. I look forward to prosperous results between the two of us in the future

Sincerely,
Dr. Pideus Rhoinius

From: the United Republics of Volzgrad

Greetings my good man, and excellent idea. For years my scientists have been trying to create bionics strong and durable enough for military use, but time and time again they have failed. My men are led by Head Scientist Ivaan Scovich, a very intelligent if eccentric man. Hopefully, if you decide to accept our offer of aid, then maybe Volzgrad too will have bionics. If you agree, then the scientists will be immediately sent to your nation in a 747 aircraft to your nearest airport. Thank you for reading this, and good luck on future bionic research.

Sincerely,
President Gregor Venkov

Regarding a fusion of Teams

To...President Gregor Venkov of the United Republics of Volzgrad
Fondest greetings to you, President Venkov. I am sorry to hear of your scientist's failed attempts to produce a bionic implant for military use. However, fear not. With the combined brain power of myself and Dr. Ivaan Scovich and our teams we can coordinate and eventually develop a working bionic for military use. Mr. Scovich's aircraft is welcome to land at Rome Ciampino Airport to meet me and my team face-to-face there. From the airport we will drive them to our headquarters where we can begin setting up their equipment. I look forward to working with Mr. Scovich and his team to produce a greater future for both of our nations.

Sincerely,
Dr. Pideus Rhoinius

TO-DR. PIDEUS RHOINIUS

We in the democratic peoples republic of the freedom loving (yes really!) land of idiotic foolishness have been searching for someone who can advance our own technology to the level where bionic implants become affordable to the masses. However we do not intend their use for military purposes. What we intend to do is to improve our economic standing by emulating a certain other nation (I'm sure you'll guess exactly which one). To this end we have already begun shipping random citizens to "re-education" facilities (conveniently located outside international jurisdiction), but for the second stage of the plan we require a section of our population to begin purchasing large quantities of food in order to drive our economy upward. This will however result in a population heavily swayed towards the morbidly obese...and that is where your implants come in, as we intend to give these immense masses of lard bionic legs to facilitate their locomotion.

I won't go into stage three just yet, as some of our generals have suggested that what comes next may be disturbing to some of our neighbouring friends (to be honest it scares the hell out of me)....not to mention the WA, but any assistance or advice regarding bionic technology would be most appreciated.....

With appreciation,

President світ завойовник of the Democratic Republic of Idiotic Foolishness
