Name the anti aging program "Tithonus".

Nah.
I vote for "Project Juan". If you're curious, look up Juan Ponce de Leon.
Or "Herodotus". Iunno.

[Remuthra]

I vote for the SHODAN project.

[Helgoland]

"Project Juan"

Also YAY! ebbor's in this! I've had good experiences with him.

(Not that kind. Only suggestion game related. And no, not that kind of suggestion game either.)

Wait, you've got a person named John Ponce of the Lions, and you go with "John"? I vote we call it "project Lion Ponce".

Dude.
That's like saying Stefano is the same as Steve.

Hire out the science team, remodel the empty factory into a ... testing site.

Spoiler:  Monthly Report              Jenny Greenwield  2014-05-10 (click to show/hide)

• We have looked into your suggestions on what to do with our Factory in China. And both suggestions seems plausible, but either of them needs some founding. The testing site may end up more expensive than to re purpose the factory for production GMO seedlings , depending on how we want to equip it. 
• Our lawyers have managed to negotiate a preliminary contract regarding the temporary transferee of our scientist with Wayland Corp. A copy of the contract has been attached to this message.
• We have tried to find a suitable Science team for  the Microbe-project, but failed to find any with our current budget, we will continue our search unless you state otherwise. 
• A journalist contacted us. She's writing an article regarding our recent collaboration with Wayland Corp. I think she has overstated the importance of the "science exchange". Either way She asks if we wish to comment the event.
• We have started screening for potential applicants to Project Juan. And we have a lot of potential Subjects, how do you want us to narrow down the list? Shall we find the richest persons, the most influential, the smartest, or something else? 

Spoiler:  Contract With Wayland Corp                  2014-05-02 (click to show/hide)

• Wayland will pay for the teams salary, equipment and housing for the duration of the contract.
• Any Patent and other scientific breakthroughs that the team commit for the duration of the contract falls elusively to the Wayland Corp.
• RubyCo is entitled to 25% of the profits that Wayland makes from the research that the science team commit.
• The Contracts can be cancelled or renewed after four months.

New CEO for RubyCo
Robert Blacke has inherited the family company efter the passing of his father. Local economists are positive to the change, stating that RubyCo needs new blood and new idéas to stay competitive, especially after the years of declines and losses that RubyCo has endured. Blacke hasn't made any drastic changes since he gained his position at RubyCo, but we will follow the company with interest from here on. And suggest you do likewise.

New Company enters the Bioengineering market!
Pentex- One of the largest Pharmacy-companies in the world has decide to enter the bioengineering market. Stating that Bioengineering is the future medicine, and Pentex aims to be the company utilising this field for the best of mankind.     Only the future will tell how TransWorld and Ruby Co will react to this new competition.

Companies

RubyCo: Many years ago it was the leading company in areas of bioengineering and weaponry, but most assets has been lost after John Blacke, made several bad investments. Still, we are among the largest bioengineering companies of the world. John Blacke choose to dismantle and sell our weapon factories and research facility. We still have several scientist proficient in the field. 

Pentex: The largest Pharmacy provider in the world. Recently they have decided to jump into the bioengineer-industry, setting up a laboratory for that purpose. Located mainly in USA.

TransWorld: The largest bioengineering company in the world. Specialised in breeding animals. There are rumors that the expericment on humans. This has been dismissed by the executive-board. Located in Europe.

Wayland Co: One of the larger Weapon focused companies in the world. With a focus on small arms and infantry equipment. Located in Canada.
 

Notable persons

John Blacke: Your brother and former CEO of Ruby Co. Most people assume Robert Blacke is his son, and the company has actively encourage this rumour since Robert participated in the anti ageing program.

Projects

Project Juan: 35 years ago, your RubyCo managed to develop a to prolong human life. With the right medicine,  DNA modification and stamcell replacements it is possible to slow ageing to a crawl. An extension of the  Ruby Genetics lab is currently dedicated for this purpose, well hidden from public eyes. The process is currently very expensive and viable for public consumption. The subjects participating in the program has to return to the facility for treatment at least every third month for the desired effect. The program has a capacity for three subjects.

  If there is an income/expenditure with a * it means that it is quite an insignificant sum.
Regarding where to put the found I flipped a coin, and Ebbors suggestion won. Which consequently rolled 1, oh well.

[Mesa]

Narrow the Project Juan candidates list to the most influential people IE presidents, premiers, other high-profile companies CEOs etc.

[Remuthra]

If we make a discovery, about how much of the time will Wayland Corp get it? Just how elusive is their right?

[Mesa]

Just to clarify, my long-term goal is to offer the goods of Project Juan to people that will give us large scale fame, like USA and Russian presidents.

We might want to try to force us into the European market. While it's fairly small, it's mostly unexploited, thanks to the EU being rather paranoid careful about all kinds of technologies, it's also a particulary rich market, and very intensive/ small scale. Ideal for GMO, actually.

Turn the factory to the production of GMO seeds. (A testing ground, while usefull, is not needed right now. We don't even have the funds to invest in new research)

Continue searching for the microbiological Genetical engineering team
         -Apply for subsidies where available. There's a lot you can do with bioengineering

Yup, and look for wealthy&influential people to offer a place in the program (think Bill Gates, George Soros... that kind). Use the gained funds to expand the project.
Apply for subsidies in the US - Europe is way too paranoid for that.
Offer a cooperation to Pentex, pointing to our recent efforts in China and the necessity to make TransWorld a pushover.

Narrow the Project Juan candidates list to the most influential people IE presidents, premiers, other high-profile companies CEOs etc.

These people come and go; we need funds to expand the program, then we can think about buying influence with it.
