A group of independent scientists has recently approached the government, stating that for the past few years they have been working on advanced technologies - but their combined personal funds have run out. They request a substantial sum of funds as a government research grant to not only support their families but to advance their research. There is a chance that they aren't so close to a breakthrough as they profess - do we want to take the chance that we are flushing our money down a hole just for the promise of technology?

I think we should get government think-tanks to examine what they've done, and then decide.
 
The Valhalla Facility -

"Remus" has reopened contact with us, under the new code name "Sergei". Sergei reports that the Russians and the Vikings have set up a joint complex on the Crimean Peninsula, and are working to develop advanced weapons and tactics there.


Do they have a weapon called the "Odin," or the "Thor?" Perhaps a super-secret flying machined code-named "Loki?" :mischief:

Probably have to deal with this, though. Chances are it would end up biting us if we ignore it. =\
 
I think we should try to abduct some of the personnel at Valhalla, THEN blow it up. It would be shame to waste good research, even if it is enemy research. Particularly if we could make it OUR research.
 
I agree with WIM on the scientists. We should have a look at what they have accomplished so far, and then decide as to whether or not we should fund it.

As for the Crimean facility, we need to destroy it. It will do a great deal of harm to us if left alone. Even if nothing of importance comes from it, then we can still use its destruction to push things into our favor. A Ukrainian assault would really hurt the Russians and possibly lead to greater acts of rebellion. Though an Arab attack could draw Ragnar into an eastern war, thus pulling troops away from the Norse land.
 
Ahh... but destroying it would be an act of war, unless we do it covertly...

Hey GSpy Cull, mind helping us out a bit? :mischief:
 
I agree with what WIM has said about the scientists.

I support what Sergei has said. But it is imperative that we are in no way linked to the operation. We should first try to recruit Arabs for the job and have the Night Eagles act simply as leaders. If they do not join us, we can have the Night Eagles in desguise do the job. Before we blow it up, we should kidnap a few scientists to see how far they have gotten

On a related note, my final cabinet plan:

PRESIDENT: Aysee
VICE PRESIDENT: Ravus_Sol
MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS: arya126
MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR: Whosit
MINISTER OF FINANCE: ilduce349
MINISTER OF WAR: Ravus_Sol (interim)

GOVERNOR OF SCOTLAND(Liverpool): Captain Fargle
GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF ITALY: mechaerik

In order to get the government up and running as soon as possible, I'm simply placing Ravus in charge of the military until I can find another person.
 
Right now, I'm simply opening up the Military Minister to anyone who wants it. Just post your application here.
 
I can take it as a second position if you want.

On the issues:

Why dont we combine these issues? It seems our enemies have a research facility that may or may not be making progress. These scientists claim they are on the verge of a breakthrough. So we send the night eagles in and capture the staff at the place with the help of ukrainian troops, as well as any funds they have stored there. Then we merge these scientists with the team of people that have approached our government, and use the captured funds to fund all of them, with a SMALL amount of government funding. Once the scientists are captured, then we blow the facility, leaving a few survivors. This next point is key: all of the night eagles and ukrainians will have to use arabian weapons so they are the ones that are blamed.

Then we have a crack team of scientists to finish the research all of them started, and then to think up whatever techs we want them to. Of course we will have to promise amnesty to the nordic scientists, and maybe send some token support to the ukrainians in the future, covertly of course.

How does Sergei know this may i ask?
 
Go to the Arabs, get a load of ninjas, go in, blow it up in a way so that 3D is the only way to see it good, and walk away content.

Genius
 
Everyone get on chat to discuss.

And Cull, are you even trying, or do you like spitting out random bull solutions?
 
Arya: No I'm merely poking fun at your "solutions" so that we can back up and think about it. So far, only Aysee's, and to some extent, yours is impressive. The rest seem very similar to "mine".

LH: I'm aware Ninjas don't come from Arabia. You really didn't see what I did there? Shame.
 
Cull all you did was post what seems to be the plot of a bad movie.

Dont see how you are ;poking fun' though. You didnt even mention them. And no matter what you say, there are no ninjas in arabia.
 
Questions for LH:

I'd like to know how a few things about these Ukrainians you mentioned:

1) How dedicated are they to their cause?

2) How many of them are there?

3) How much support amongst the general populace do they have?

4) Do we know what their goals are?

Sorry about dumping this on you.
