WHAT. We totally made the military look benign and nice? THIS IS HOW THEY REPAY US?

SINK THOSE BATTLESHIPS. IN FACT, HAVE HARVEY TAKE ONE IN HIS GIANT TENTACLES, THEN USE IT TO SMASH THE OTHER BATTLESHIPS IN HALF.

Anyway.

If the military won't buy from us, maybe some PMCs will?

I repeat my motion to use radiation from the reactor at Site 19 to heighten our mutational capacities, and develop more potent psychic powers/super steroids. Once we have something working, look for PMCs with high budgets, low ethics, and the same sort of reaction to 'safety measures' and 'reliability' as we do (to wit, who needs 'em?)

[Loud Whispers]

Better yet, why not make our own city?

NEW GOAL ACHIEVED : BUILD RAPTURE

[Armok]

I don't mean the kind of brain scan that could actually be used to construct an AI version of us. Just a basic one that can be done with any standard MRI.

[NUKE9.13]

Armok stop it with the silly cyborg-wishium tests.

We've done a bunch of tests, made a bunch of mutants. If you really want, we can say that those sorts of tests are going on in the background all the time, so that we always have a few hideous mutants in some dank basement, but I don't feel we should be focussing on them anymore.

I'm sure the GM is getting bored of them as well.

No, we need something new and EXCITING.

NEW GOAL ACHIEVED : BUILD RAPTURE

HMM. How much control do we have over Harvey? If we can convince him to mush the battleships together and set them down in some part of the ocean with plenty of volcanic vents and stuff, you might be onto something. If not, I fear underwater cities may be a bad idea considering the Kraken the size of a city we let lose on the world's oceans, and can probably not control well enough to convince him to eg Not eat our research staff.

[Loud Whispers]

We could just build it on the inside of a bay, or have it connected underground to the mainland. Underground. In the sea.

Dwarf Rapture.

INSTANT DEFENCE

[NUKE9.13]

We could just build it on the inside of a bay.

Boring, boring. Nothing to see but regular fish, and no GEOTHERMAL POWERRR.

I'm sure we could do some awesome things with DIRECT ACCESS TO THE HEAT OF THE EARTH. And all those creepy fish-things and giant squid and the totally alien things that live around vents, not living off of the sun's energy, but living off of chemical energy (iron exchange or something)- add Genetic Modification to those, and we will have bioweapons the likes of which the WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN, AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You know what, I'm sold. Mr Fniff, take a memo: What technology and resources would we need for a deep sea labratory/base?

I mean, these are obviously long-term plans. We need some more money, first. And some more tech. We should get it like so:

Sir, Angelo is complaining about "How fucking annoying it is to listen to you whine on about Wishium! Just shut up about it. No, the mind scan thing won't work because I have no idea how to do it! If we just slam it into the guy's head, he's gonna fucking wrap his brain about it. If we plug a USB lead into it, he'll probably just do the exact same thing as SGS-002 and become a goddamn data thing. I can come up with a good idea for testing without some goddamn CEO breathing down my neck about it! Jesus..."

Anyway, we were examining the seabed for anywhere that could be suitable for building when we discovered something at the bottom. Sort of looked like rubble. We rented a submarine and examined the rubble in detail. It appears that there is a large metallic door that is suspiciously non-eroded. Via x-ray, it seems that a primitive depressurization room awaits behind the door. The corridor is filled with water up to knee height, so there must have been a minor breach. According to extensive analyzing, the architectural style matches ancient Greek architecture with little difference. This is also in the Atlantic ocean.

Is it me, or is all weird things in the Atlantic? Bermuda Triangle, Mary Celeste, now this. Is the Atlantic just a magnet for these things? Why doesn't the occult go to somewhere pleasant and warm, like the Pacific? It's bloody cold in the Atlantic.

What are your orders, sir?

[NUKE9.13]

Intriguing! Get Harvey to sink those battleships, then see if we can't offer the military help in 'divulging the cause' of the mysterious loss of their fleet, if they would be willing to lend us a bunch of submarines and deep-sea equipment?
After all, if reports of a 'giant squid thing' are true, we may be dealing with some sort of genetically-modified being here; a threat which we are uniquely qualified to investigate. It's probably the Chinese. I know we aren't on the best of terms, so we'll do this for free- to make it up to you.

When we have the equipment, use it to investigate the lost city of atlantis. If at all possible, move some stuff in there.

For funding... sell some WISHIUM to the Chinese.

In summary:
-Have Harvey Sink Battleships
-Offer To 'Investigate'
-Use Resources To Take Over Atlantis
-Sell Wishium to Chinese for funding.

YES! Also, see if we can contact some PMCs, we need corporate mercs.

[Loud Whispers]

+1

Plus, what would be available in the terms of private security companies?

[Fniff]

The military is still annoyed, it seems. They prefer to keep it within their own ranks, thank you very much, since you spill secrets like a seizing man with a glass of illegally modified orange juice. However, the Chinese are much more happy to indulge our deep sea diving needs with supplies of Wishium. We just got an advance of $2000. PMC side, there's basically only one PMC. Red Wolf. These fellows have pretty much every need you could have for modern warfare, and are equal to the USA in terms of fire power. Makes sense, since they bought out all the others and got their equipment.

However, there have been some problems with Atlantis. We sent a robot down there, and it seems that there is a problem: It's inhabited. It seems that something very very strange happened to the populace. Half of them seem to have become hybrids of human and fish, fused by God knows what, and they seem to have what can only be described as magic. The other half are cyborg creatures using Greek steam technology, only more advanced. They seem to be at war, and they all speak Ancient Greek, which has been dead for a long time, so we're kinda confused as to how we communicate. Most of the city is dry, though. If we move down there, we'll get space but we'll have to contend with the two factions. Plus, if we get the hang of the magic we could have a product. And a holiday locale, if we stop the civil war. What do you say?

[NUKE9.13]

Right, right.

Refine WISHIUM into something more... I shudder to say this... stable. Like, it activates the gene, and then instead of letting it run wild, forces it to follow a predetermined course.

Then hire some Wolves, dose 'em up with some deep-sea diving WISHIUM, and solve the civil war by way of LIBERAL APPLICATION OF VIOLENCE. Have the wolves kidnap a number of citizens from both sides, so we can cut them up and see what makes 'em tick. (literally in one case)

Of course, this is all very hush hush. So we'll be offering Red Wolf a significant discount on our products in the future not to, you know, mention this to anyone else. It's our little secret. And, hey, since its secret, and atlantis isn't a real nation, and those aren't real people, you can use all the really fun weapons that the UN has said you aren't allowed to use. Enjoy yourselves down there, boys.

[Repulsion]

Yes, develop a partnership with Red Wolf! It appears that they have extensive resources and military power, and do you know what's better than a faction with extensive resources and military power? A faction with extensive resources, military power, AND a chemical that can adapt soldiers to literally anything!

I propose that we attempt to create an oligarchy of sorts with Hausen-Light and Aperture Science (and Red Wolf. Not sure what a 4 person grouping is... a quadgarchy?), so that we may augment each others research and basically turn into a Corporate Supergiant.

[Loud Whispers]

Ancient Greek is virtually identical to it's modern counterpart (most unchanged language in all of human history .

So, we need someone who speaks greek.

Job done.

Also, does Red Wolf specialise in killing fishes?

Explosives + Underwater = Lotsa dead fish

[Geen]

Right, right.

This, so very much.
