Uh, there's a perfectly valid reason for us not to have joined the military. We're too rich.

Any individual who who has a net worth in excess of.... Can't recall, but people who are independently wealthy to a significant degree are refused military service usually, due to there richness making them a massive target.

Military refuses people that would specifically be targeted if they joined.

From what I understand that's not actually the issue.

The problem is that a lot of the military's punishments for low level stuff involve docked pay.

Which doesn't matter at all to someone earning millions, or in Revy's case billions, of dollars/credits a year.

If it is search didn't turn it up.

Edit: No wonder search didn't turn it up. It's on SB only. Thank god they fixed the search. So yes we might be sending armed personal there depending whats going on.

Thread IV was imported to SV some time ago, so it's searchable there. In any case, give dacsan one of Darik29's cookies, he remembered!

You did not technically send any armed forces to Altahe, but you sponsored Liara's expedition which includes a substantial security force.

I like 2 and 3, but I think you might be saying a bit too much for 4 and 5. The last sentence in 4 sounds a bit too defensive, and I think any kind of involvement with whether we go to war with the batarians is probably best avoided right now. Like Ebsilon said, some of these we're better off just not giving a comment on.

Made an edit to my post giving a specific example for why Revy would most likely be refused service.

i made 4 less defensive.
 
This is going to sound embarrsing but how do you spell the word that means someone is employing you? It begins with an H. Cause Laira's experdition brought Mercs for protection.

Liara is going there. It's in the post titled at least she isn't digging for shoes. Did you not read how I posted it wasn't on SV?

I did, but I hadn't finished reading the update on SB when I posted that, xP

Yep, Liara is on Altahe. No Paragon Industries personnel are though. We bankrolled her, but she hired her own security.

Currently contemplating more things to add to the tech tree...

We don't actually have any facilities on Elysium right now. Maybe:

""No Paragon Industries personnel have been deployed anywhere save our facilities on Mindoir, nor will they be in the near future, with the exception of our planned facilities on Elysium."

Other then that I like your vote.

Editing that in. Going back to find the phrase of our last locked in vote though, I thought we sent teams there with the start of construction.

Ahh, the perils of such a fast moving thread.

Not really. Only the:

Section of the vote won. So we've only contacted Elysium. Building is in the next quarter's plan.

We hired new people to watch over the construction of the new Factory IIIs at the two other cities/towns on Mindoir.
