((OOC: This thread takes place on Mirda, in the capital city. This thread is private to the following factions: Veolian Commonwealth, Praetorian Empire, Unified Republic of Darya, Sundarian Federation, Socialist Republic of Niom, Miomanian Colonists, Lifebringer Clans, and The Embers of Aten.

This thread is a branch of the [Private] The Inter-species Procreation and Culture Summit, from this point in time.))

The conference room is situated in the highest tower of the conference complex with a grand view of the rest of the complex, and incidentally, the protesters outside.

The room appears to be designed specifically for the participating delegations. Each seat is personalized, adjusted for height and sitting habits. The table is shaped like an octagon, with each participant having an equal 'slice' of table.

"Honoured guests,

So far this summit has been a great venue for getting acquainted with one another's culture and biological inclinations. After this orientation and introductory period the time has come to discuss our continued cooperation on the subject of this summit.

After careful analysis we have determined the need for fundamental research into the possibility of genetic compatibility and population growth control, and assisted procreation. Our projections show that this fundamental research will require a funding of 500 and at least 5 turns. In effect this means that, should everyone gathered here wish to contribute, a sum of 12.5 should be committed for the period of 5 turns. The Veolian Commonwealth will contribute the extra funding required to allow other factions to send a rounded 12 .

Once this fundamental research is completed, we will have access to further researchable technologies. I propose that we quickly determine who wishes to participate in the fundamental research, and that we shall reconvene on Unity once this fundamental research has been completed."

[The Lifebringer Clans]

"The Lifebringer Clans have always had a vested interest in genetics. We will gladly participate in this research project, and find your terms to be fair."

[Senator Ardios Eldrilith]

"The Praetorian Empire is eager to participate in this research project. We will pay the required for this project and make available some of our finest research facilities and scanning equipment. We hope that we can start as soon as possible. How about turn 17?"

[Senator Acehtoo of the Miomanian Colonists]

"Of course the Miomian Colonists are more than willing to participate in this endeavour. We have always supported research and, circumstances allowing, will continue to support new research in the future."

[Lady Peinaili de Montrève]

The Sundarain Federation shares this sentiment, we have freed up the needed additional budget to commence our contribution on this research starting in turn 16.

[Senator Ardios Eldrilith]

"We have made the necessary tax available for turn 16 and are ready to start with the rest."

[RemcoSwenker]

darya will join in as well we can start from turn 16 onwards without any problems

[Senator Ght'Twwf of the Socialist Republic of Niom]

"The Republic of Niom has also decided to join in this effort. Our calculations say the return on investment is very high and the initial cost is low. We look forward to many more of such deals."

[Nehket Aeka]

"Very well, we shall start this research project in turn 16.

Thank you for your participation."
