Are you a developing nation that needs a lot of factories in a hurry? An established power dealing with a refugee rush? Or just a nation looking to expand its industrial capacity in a quick and effecient manner?

Look no further!

Aperture Science Industries, a subsidiary of Aperture Science, is pleased to announce the development of a series of pre-fabricated structures for a variety of purposes. These, cheap, effecient, and reliable structures have been designed to be pleasing to the eye and easy to maintain. Each comes with a 12 year warranty against manufature-related failures.
All Aperture Science Industries Pre-Fabricated Structures are modular in nature, designed to integrate into neighboring structures and suppliment each other, requiring a minimal established infrastructure to operate the basic unit. All units are equipped with standard electrical, water and waste-disposal infrastructure. Modular slots for local communication infrastructure are present in most structures, allowing for cable/satilite/phone hookups to be installed.
Aperture Science Industries Pre-Fabricated Structures are supplied in basic blue-white. Please contact your local Aperture Science Industries representative for information on paint supplies.

Residential Modules
All residential modules come equipped with a basic solar generator adequate for operation of all basic facilities. Non-standard facilities will most likely requrie a connection to a power grid. All models are equiped with electrically powered cooking equipment, although propane models are avalible. All units are constructed with hypoallergenic plastics to allow ease of cleaning. Perfect for pets!

Optional Equipment:
Petroleum Generator
Water Purification Facility
Basic Water Vaporator
Extendable vehicle port
Wall Patching Kit
Side-Mounted Animal Housing Unit (equipped with basic water and food dispensing facilities)
Basic Furniture Package (varies by model)
Basic Hydroponics Facility


Pre-Fabricated Residential Unit Mk I
The Pre-Fabricated Residential Unit Mk I is the most basic Residential Unit avalible from ASI. It has a floor space of approximatly 400ft^2 and provides adequate facilities for a family of two to three. The unit includes one bedroom, one bathroom, and one emergency roof-top fire escape hatch. The unit is stackable up to three stories in height.
Cost: USD7,500 per unit

Pre-Fabricated Residential Unit Mk II
At 800ft^2 (twice the size of the Mk I) the Pre-Fabricated Residential Unit Mk II can house up to six people. The Mk II is compatable with the Mk I, as its rectangular shape will allow two Mk I's to be mounted on top of it. The Mk II provides three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Cost: USD10,000

Pre-Fabricated Residential Unit Mk III
Considered as the 'delux' model, the Pre-Fabricated Residential Unit Mk III features all of the extra equipment, as well as slightly increased size. Because of this, the Mk III is not vertically compatable with Mk II or I units. The Mk III unit measures roughly 900ft^2.
Cost: USD12,500

Pre-Fabricated Residential Unit Mk IV
The Pre-Fabricated Residential Unit Mk IV is a model geared to high density, equipped with 24 bunk beds in two rows of twelve. Unlike other units the Pre-Fabricated Residential Unit Mk IV is geared soley to housing, and is not equiped with ammenities aside from basic shower and toilet facilities.
The Pre-Fabricated Residential Unit Mk IV is avalible in two types, a standard hard-plastic and a PlaSteel version designed to resist small arms and general debries.
This unit is not vertically stackable, but may be linked horizontally to provide infrastructure links and effeciently use space.
Standard cost: USD8,500
PlaSteel version: USD10,000

Pre-Fabricated Residential Unit Mk V
Another speciality model, the Pre-Fabricated Residential Unit Mk V is geared towards rapid establishment of temporary housing. The unit essentially consists of eight Mk I units in a square formation, with the central space dedicated to the various equipment required to maintain the units. Effeciency is top priority in this model, and as such the Mk V unit features water reclamation facilities, dual-unit bathrooms and a central, group shower.
Cost: USD62,000 per unit

Agricultural Units

Pre-Fabricated Hydroponics Unit Mk I
A small hydroponics unit designed to feed roughly 25 people. Using genetically modified seed from Aperture Sciecne Biolabs, the Pre-Fabricated Hydroponics Unit Mk I is capable of producing its first crop three months after the initial planting. The unit comes equipped with a basic nutrients supply to last up to two years and has a standard vaporator/rainscoop and water storage tank, as well as linkages for local water infrastructure.
The unit features environmental controls which will allow modification to suit the taste of the plants grown. As the unit does not require any soil, it is essentially self-suffecient if the proper balance of crops is maintained and nutrients are recycled.

Cost: USD12,000

Industrial Units

Pre-Fabricated Standard Industrial Template Construct Unit Mk I
Aperture Science Industries is pleased to present its Pre-Fabricated Standard Industrial Template Construct Unit Mk I, a small triumph in the field of engineering and industry.
The Pre-Fabricated Standard Industrial Template Construct Unit Mk I is, essentially, a fully automated factory, requiring only basic yearly maintenance to operate at full capacity. Simply insert raw materials, and the desired goods will be produced. Operation is simple, as the factories in-built AI features a well developed sensor unit which is capable of analyzing a variety of objects, provided they are not overly complex or require complex electronics. The unit is also capable of accepting blueprints or other plans for an object.
Once inserted and processed, the unit will then proceede to produce the object in question until it runs out of material or is ordered to cease.
There are some limitations on production, however. The current unit cannot produce an object greater than four feet in any dimension, and is not capable of producing complex electronic equipment (ex: 'clean-room' electronics, LED screens and so forth). It is, however, fully capable of producing a variety of basic goods, such as silverware, plates, toilets, childrens toys, clothes and so on.
A military model as also been produced, with the capability of producing firearms, body armor and general military paraphenalia. This model is somewhat larger as it incorporates more metalworking facilities.

Cost (Civilian model): USD250,000
(Military Model): USD550,000

((Work in progress! Check back later if this works out and I'll most likely have added some stuff.))

The nation of Orbath would like to inquire as to whether a package could be put together with the requirements that follow;


Must house 100 people
Must provide food to 100 people
Must provide jobs to as many of that 100 people as possible
60% of housing units must be MK1
35% of housing units must be MK2
5% of housing units must be MK3


Furthermore, we would like to inquire as to whether a power station unit could also be constructed.

Greetings,

We believe we can meet your requirements, aside from the 'jobs' section. All Aperture Science equipment is designed to require as little maintenance and human input as possible, under the basic assumption that few humans are suffeciently qualified to operate Aperture Science equipment.
We must enquire, however, as to the exact number implied by '100 people', as many people may be placed into a single unit. Perhaps a unit designed to house 100 family units would be more acceptable?

We would prefer individual units for families. Perhaps instead of ''100 people'' we should instead specify ''100 families.''

Official Message of the Gomen Housing Company:

Is it possible to use the Mark III Residential Unit as a separate, free-standing, family home? Would it be possible to mount solar panels on the roof?

We thank you for your kind reply. If the answer to both questions is positive, then we require 10,000 of those units, and will pay 125 million dollars for them.

(OOC:
Basically. My general vision is essentially something that can be set up with some basic tools and minimal instruction in a couple of hours. Although the factory might be a bit more complex. Maybe I'll include a self-erecting version at some point :P)

Peoples Republic of Orbath
Greeetings,

Then we will begin work on a design integrating the required units.

Preliminary suggestion is as follows:
60 Residential Mk I, USD450,000
35 Residential Mk II, USD350,000

Greetings,

Of course, the unit is designed to operate as a free-standing home. The interlocking feature is designed to allow for more effecient use of space where required, and all homes basic facilities may be operated off of an included solar power package. Further devices (such as televisions, computers, etc.) will most likely require extra panels or a link to a local power grid.

Your order has been confirmed and will ship on confirmation of the transfer of 125,000,000 USD.

Greetings,

We can supply several million Mk I housing units to serve as emergency shelters, provided some time to finish the order. A period of approximatly two years would be required for a total of two million Mk I units. Assuming they are used as emergency housing and multiple families may occupy a single unit, up to four family units (assuming a maximum four persons per family unit) may occupy a single Mk I, provided the unit is reconfigured to such a role.
