*cough*...

I mean, how many times has RFC told us that the Yeltsin system/Grayson is lousy with Heavy Metals?

and here I thought Grayson ALREADY had BOTH kinds of music -- Country AND Western

In addition, however, it was discovered that there was an additional pod stuffed with Ensign Chekov's entire chip collection of 20th-23rd century Netflix greatest hits, and a whole bunch of things called YouTubes etc. from the early part of the 21st century.

I wonder how Ricardo Montalban will like Beowulf ?

I mean, sure...I'd get the required End User documentation and the sales would have to be to legit governments, but how much raw BLING BLING is sitting in orbit that is of no use to Manticore when some world sitting out in the far reaches of space would like to have a few top of the line destroyers for below cost?

"Buy a light Cruiser or two Destroyers, and I throw in enough small arms to outfit your marines and national police force...Yes, powered armor is included...supplies limited to stock on hand...you want a maintenance contract...yeah, That is gonna be extra, but I'll make a phone call and we can see about sending a class to Haven Tech for 18 months for training on these guys."

How do I not make Bank with this racket?

I get a commission, the Crown gets cash and everyone is happy.


---------------------

everyone is happy except the forum dwellers who are STILL arguing over what should be done with two captured SLN fleets.

You know... Maybe the GL should sell said captured Sollie SD's to the good investment folks at WFG and H for a pence a pound. Let those nice folks dispose of those ships! Might even be cheaper than hiring the breakers. That way Skimper et. al can buy a few!

The Beowulf Code places limits on what can be done with human genetics. Haven't seen a lot about what the rules or any code is for what can be done with animal or plant DNA (or its exo-biotic alternatives).

How about a variation of Jurassic Park for really big game hunting? You aren't limited to things like T-Rex or it's nastier cousins, there could be any number or really big or dangerous things out there that could be spliced out of things in the labs. Heck, you could make Dragons, compleat with flying and breathing fire. All those soon to be unemployed people on Mesa with all that techincal knowledge are a very big resource.

Good idea, but for all we know there could already be a planet going through its Jurassic period. Also I think its mentioned in passing in CoS that there were some big game hunters either heading to or from a planet like that.
