[X] Plan TheEye
@TheEyes could you include the verifying whether spectres are beholden to that kind of agreement and getting the drell to sign an NDA too?
*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
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.
Same way anyone else does presumably.
Good chance he's a biotic as well.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.
I'd suggests either ' ' or going all out and usingsince using speech marks like this is just wrong.
Competition? I didn't know you could compete with someone who wasn't even in the same market niche as you. We don't sell cheap low power reactors. So no competition here.
Hmm. Sounds like an automated version of something the Kassa could do. Kassa project their shields so it should be possible to set up a VI to automatically control those projected shields across a team and provide layered protection.
Hm. Well that had better have bought him some political points because this will totally be a hassle.
So were details of Spectre non-disclosure documents included in the data Udina sent us? We will still need to get our legal team, or likely legal VI, to look over the thing before signing it or showing Datin and his friend anything particularly secret but knowing that we know these things are actually legally binding would be a relief.
So just to be clear the changes are:
Powerstation Income (Landing) 5,000,000 -> 8,000,000
VI Sales 50,000,000 -> 102,000,000
VI Support 4,000,000 -> 9,000,000
And they are continuing at this rate going forwards, correct?
I don't like it either but he is almost certainly covered under some aspect of Spectre law. After all Canon!Shepard could take his/her crew with them wherever they went.
EDIT: @Hoyr, can the Systems Alliance prevent us from using repulsor technology in Paragon's private logistics division/company?
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?
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.
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.But I would ask that @TheEyes also include asking about hanar specters/how this hanar qualified for it.
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.That's basically the only difference between my plan and Yog's.

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?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.
And let us not forget the photographic memory and sneaky assassin training...Watch the Drell. While the *Spectre* may sign the agreement the Drell has been... curiously, left out.
Hang on, @Hoyr: What exactly is the reason the SA is objecting to the Repulsor? Is it the whole particle bean thing, the super advanced thruster aspect, or are they just concerned that our FRM doesn't sufficiently protect against proliferation?
