There is no need for that.
*Applies face to palm*Damn it GM! This is a my bad. Yes the Drell is covered to, technically the Hanar is signing for the Drell due to Spectre. Let me go add a few words
Well, if we cannot use Replusors...we could research the VASIMIR drive or the EM drive.
From what I have read, the EM drive operates via the casimir effect, so there isn't any accelerated particles to be used as a weapon.
The performance is nothing compared to a Repulsor, but it should get past SAs legal limits.

Licenses?
[X] Sell 47 million licenses (15.228 billion expected profit)
--[X] We are open to more licenses for ANI hardware.
Should we also be using FRM Licenses more?
[X] For things we don't have the volume to produce ourselves
--[X] Not including Arc Reactors
[X] Go along yourself
--[X] Send a memo out; have everybody save and close any ongoing/sensitive research.
--[X] If he/it is willing, ask him/it a copule of things:
----[X] As a spectre, and a hanar, what would he want to see in a hanar power armor?
----[X] What did he think of the new prothean discovery by Liara?
----[X] You were not aware hanar had any spectres. Could he tell you about himself?
[X] Check if NDAs are actually binding
--[X] His partner will also sign an NDA
I really want to learn about how a hanar became a spectre.

Most likely, this hanar is extremely good at sniffing out Prothean artifacts, is a specialist used for handling situations in hanar space, or he has some other, probably non-combat, skillset that the Council finds useful.
Also note that Zaeed, one of the best soldiers in the ME setting, has explicitly made a note of not underestimating the purple/orange jellyfish with the surprisingly strong tentacles.

Or it's because he's got a lover in every port and a gun in every tentacle.
Nah, nah, their company image is going to be an asari in a bunny girl outfit, with a, smaller, drum set... :lol
Anyways, bad puns aside, I'd go with
[X] Plan TheEye
But I would ask that @TheEyes also include asking about hanar specters/how this hanar qualified for it.

Same way anyone else does presumably.
Good chance he's a biotic as well.
I'd suggests either ' ' or going all out and usingsince using speech marks like this is just wrong.
And sadly I know that... I've deliberately corrected that myself before. To much
screwing with my brain. Right right fixing.Technically you're both in the energy market. It's not direct competition, but a simple analysis put you at the top of the market and the niche the new tech is filling would be filled by batteries/capacitors though would have been charged by arc-reactors. (Assuming you didn't down size.)
Also politics speech, Asari Matriarch and all that.
It's far more subtle than other settings but one you look into it Turians~=Romans. They saw the Guardian Angel System went, "hey we want that in baseline" and then modified it to support their combat doctrine. (If it wasn't clear by now the idea is similar to the roman shield wall or turtle formations)
Probably (I actually did a background roll to see if you brought that part up).
Edit: Missing text goes here
Yes, the files Udina sent covered that sort of thing. Its important to note is the Spectre choosing to sign. Trying to force them is a perfectly valid reason for the Spectre to switch to "Execute with extreme prejudice" mode.
Technically speaking this sort of thing is why business with Spectres works at all. They can sign and be bound by deals.
In the NDA in question here is a fairly standard one for this sort of thing that Datin has used before. Basically for him to be able to say anything about something it needs to either be Prothean in origin or a clear and present danger to the galactic community. Technical details are protected unless an item is again a clear and present danger to the galactic community or is illegally held Prothean material/tech/data.
Of course vast legal over simplification.
Sounds right not like it matters much but I figured some one would say something if I didn't up those.
Pretty much. Reverse of it is the Spectre is responsible for them to some degree. Nor do they have Spectre authority themselves.
Technically yes, but without a clear and present danger it would be kinda a dick move and everyone knows it. The SA could ban the item entirely, ban you from keeping any for further development (but you can sell them to cleared parties), or see a value in the product but not trust the company at all and then basically force you to sell licenses instead of producing or having the product.
Thing is most of those are for WMDs, NBC weapons or other no this stays in military/goverment hands no ifs and/or buts. Using them for anything that isn't one of those would be... a major political move and using them... well I imagine you can figure out where that goes.
What you've got is the "It's military tech" limit, you can keep the product for testing and development, but you can only sell, trade and distribute to select parties (pretty much just the military at this point). Technically what you're doing is "extended harsh environment testing" (aka putting the tech in combat) and "lifetime performance testing" (aka just using the tech). Its a legal loophole, you know it, the military knows it, the government knows it, but nobodies going to do anything about it right now. You've got a lot of political capital and you're not doing anything that stupid yet. Also the military gets more data to poke at if you share it so that's good.

Right, so would the SA accept it if we make a few (bulk) transport craft powered by repulsors for use by Paragon Securities? At least, if ParSec uses a stripped down version compared to a (large scale) military transport for use by the SA? And then quietly push for a much more limited variant of the repulsor for civilian use?
Because the ability to laugh at the fuel infrastructure that's normally necessary, well that is a big deal that will pay off once the Reapers arrive and start tearing apart every helium 3 and deuterium extraction facility they can get their hands on. It's admittedly also a risk when facing people who depend on hit and fade tactics, like pirates.
Technically if your using them as part of the testing and development process they can be upset but that's about it.
You can try.
Actually the new thruster in the update plus a hydrogen scoop should also remove the need for much if any fuel depots.
I was playing the "more power" game and realized that a overpowered ion or plasma drive looks a lot like a discount repulsor and could work as a bussard ramjet.

That's basically the only difference between my plan and Yog's. Personally that seems like a silly question, one that might be considered arrogant, condescending, or both; we can just look it up later if we're curious, without risk of pissing off the guy who's currently auditing us.
It's a Hanar. The only way we're going to tick it off is if we start dissing the Enkindlers. Or ask for its personal name. (not that we know that IC, nor that the name we're using isn't) We might end up peeving the Drell though. Also, Yog has the 'demand drell sign NDA also' part to their plan... insisting on that would piss off both the drell and the hanar. But I am still curious as to what qualified a hanar to be inducted to the Specters, and I seriously doubt there's a public domain list of all current, and/or past Specters for us to peruse at our leisure. Much less a private one that we can hack and read. Well, unless Hoyr says otherwise.

Not really. I mean, getting a spectre is, apparently, a very big thing. We only ever see spectres of the council races in the game. Humanity, a council species, getting a second spectre two years after the first one perished was, apparently, a big thing that humans had to fight for. Hanar.... What did they do to get a spectre? What did the spectre do? I mean, ok, hanar are probably up there in biology with salarians, so they could have leveraged that (or some prothean research) into getting a spectre of their own. But what did this hanar do to get the position?

And let us not forget the photographic memory and sneaky assassin training...
Option D all of the above in differing amounts.
Its a particle beam, a powerful weapon. Not for Civilians. Its also depressingly easy to weaponize from thruster mode. (BB does help here though)
As a thruster it's depressingly overpowered. Look at the math for the drones UberJJK was tossing around and then just make those kinetic impactors. A paired repulsor plus arc-reactor would get 12,500 m/s2 acceleration. Salvage one with an functioning on/off switch, add some fins tie in a arc-reactor and bam (RL) battleship shell in a second in your pocket. (Or worse)
It makes a beautiful terrorist weapon like that, thus the SA does not want proliferation. The worry of an enemy stealing it is a concern as well, can you offer a strong guarantee that proliferation won't seriously increase the risk of the thing being stolen or used for malicious ends? Existing Starship based terrorist threats are bad enough thank you kindly.
Designs stolen and use as intended=bad. A more mobile enemy means the SA is going to bankrupt itself trying to defend the colonies. (Or collapse since it can't) Stolen units used as a terrorist weapon also bad.
Please note that this is their perspective. Not 100% accurate and some factors maybe over wighted.
Depend on how you ask it. Ask, "So how did you become a Spectre?" or "So did you learn Archeology to help with you job or did you become a Spectre after getting your degree?". Or something like that.
Technically the Spectre office has a list and details on Spectre. (Assuming data hasn't been deleted from all reference for security reasons) Hacking would require physically being near it.
