MESSAGE FROM THE RILICONIAN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

Subject: Elias Mercer Growth Case

As of February 2nd, 2143, at 0923 local time, Elias Mercer was tranquilized and placed in quarantine. The operation was originally peaceful, until Elias himself was proven a hostile force. He was tranquilized, due to his scientific importance, but if circumstances had differed, he would’ve been neutralized.

As of now, February 4th, 1834 local time, experiments have been performed on Elias. He is currently under an induced coma, due to increased aggression towards me and my personnel. He also has grown considerably since his cruise ship incident on the 21st of January. He has grown from 11 feet and 5 inches to 15 feet and 2 inches. He has not grown since yesterday. This makes me believe that his growth has plateaued, or stopped due to other conditions.

Brain samples were taken when Elias entered the quarantine. Open brain surgery revealed no distinct geometric reconfiguration of his brain, but samples showed cells beginning to cluster in cubic formations. these abnormal cellular formations were found mainly in the prefrontal cortex, most likely causing the aggression. Another interesting discovery is these same cellular mutations in the insula, implying Elias is in a constant state of pain.

We’ve run numerous blood tests, and when those come back, we’ll know if a known disease is affecting Elias. If not a known illness, then it’s possible other contaminants and forces could be at work. If all else fails, and we cannot find out what is truly wrong with Elias, my only option, due to his pain, would be something no doctor would choose to do. Admit defeat;

and euthanize my patient.

I’ve already considered other possibilities that could work if Elias ultimately fails to have any disease already known to man. I don’t feel that pain management and supportive treatment would be the right choice. After reading his psychologist’s notes, I feel he’d agree. In the notes, it states “Elias has a strong aversion to pain.” While such an aversion is normal, the emphasis in the notes raises the possibility that his sensitivity to pain may have been unusually pronounced even before his condition became apparent. This remains speculative.

Test results won’t be back for another two weeks. Until then, I will go through the proper channels, and notify the EAST3 nations of the risks.

The WHSO should have been established sooner. Had it been operational, this would have been an international public-health concern, rather than a responsibility borne primarily by my department.

Edward Vasher, The Democratic Republic of Rilicon’s Minister of Health

MESSAGE FROM THE RILICONIAN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

Subject: Elias Mercer Growth Case

As of February 28th, 2143, Elias Mercer’s heart had ceased beating.

The semblances of life, however, have not ended.

Elias Mercer was a man who went over waters affected by Geological Event 0342B3, and continued to grow to unprecedented size. at the time of his “death”, he was 15 feet and 2 inches, proving his height had plateaued on the 4th of February. After his supposed “death,” an autopsy was attempted. During said autopsy, the coroner was assaulted by the deceased, forcing medical staff to sedate Elias.

Blood tests from Elias came back negative for any known disease, including the Afflicted virus, which could cause bodies that seem dead to return to life. Therefore, this incident is considered a serious safety risk.

After being sedated, another coroner was brought in, due to the risk presented by the original coroner’s injuries and insufficient personal protective equipment.

Elias’s autopsy was conducted without further interruption or difficulty.

His autopsy revealed geometric formations on his organs, some of which were entirely replaced with geometric formations. It is currently unknown how an organism could mutate to a form such as this one.

Further research is necessary.

I request permission to move my patient to a location agreed upon by EAST3 governments. I feel that this is out of a single doctor’s control, even one of my skills.

Signed,

Edward Vasher, The Democratic Republic of Rilicon’s Minister of Health

PAPER FROM THE INCOM TECHNOLOGY SECTOR

Subject: Creation of the Bipedal Attack Unit

On March 5th, 2143, the Technological Advancement Department on floor 5B of the InCom HQ Tower developed a prototype of the first Bipedal Attack Unit developed by InCom. This unit, nicknamed the “B1 Battle Droid” by employees on the level, is a semi-humanoid bipedal robot to be used in warfare.

Initial testing has demonstrated that the B1 can walk, run, jump, and perform basic rolls with little to no difficulty. During recovery exercises, technicians placed the unit on both its front and back, ensuring that its hands and feet were not in contact with the ground. In both positions, the B1 demonstrated the ability to maneuver itself back onto its feet without external assistance.

In exercises concerning orders, the B1 was ordered to bring a technician a cup of water, shoot a target, and do a push up. When the commands were separate, (When the B1 was ordered to bring a cup of water, it did that before being given another order), it performed the tasks flawlessly, with some inaccuracy in the shooting of the target. However, when the commands were chained into one command (bring the cup of water, then shoot the target), the AI showed difficulty in memory and following the second order.

In an interesting development, the AI showed a clear boost in memory after repetition of the orders. For example, when one B1 was ordered to do all the tasks, and only told once, it failed to execute the commands. When the same B1 had the instructions repeated to it twice, it followed each order before standing and awaiting further instruction.

Its AI also showed an ability to learn from its surroundings. A B1 who was watching an InCom training session had better accuracy at shooting the target, and ones put into a sandy environment learned to walk and wipe its visual sensors in the sand.

Some tweaking of the AI may be necessary, due to excessive talking and an “eccentric personality”. As of the current moment, many of the employees are threatening to strike if the AI is “too changed,” due to them finding the AI “entertaining” and “annoying to the point of being funny”.

A specific B1, designated B1-Z, has been designated for a “Status Promotion”. Its AI will be put into an upgraded chassis and be designated as a C1, standing for Commander. B1-Z has shown the capabilities of leading other B1s into combat, superior learning capabilities, and a certain amount of charisma.

Adrian Voss, Head of Technological Science in InCom

PAPER FROM THE INCOM TECHNOLOGY SECTOR

Subject: Promotion of Bipedal Attack Units

In an interesting development, many of the AIs have shown the same improvements as C1-Z. They’ve shown the ability to lead, adapt, and the ability to follow multiple orders in a sequence. The designations who are being promoted are as follows:

B1-H. “The Hyena”
B1-F. “The Fencer”
B1-S. “The Spider”
B1-A. “The Angel”
B1-D. “Death”

These designations have been given due to their styles of leading and conflict. Each will be given an improved chassis, designated C1-(B1 designation letter), and room for enhancement based on their leadership style.

Each unit may request modifications to its chassis. For example, B1-S has already requested its new chassis to include an extra set of arms. After review by a set of engineers, and verified by myself, the changes will be added to the chassis, and the bot will be more specialized for its role in the InCom Mechanized Division.

B1-D will be instantly promoted to his own special chassis and designated D1. D1 has shown advanced leadership skills and a specific ruthlessness fitting for the leader of “Death’s Assassins”. He will command 10 C1s, and they will act in covert and espionage missions. Each of those C1s will also command 10 B1s, used at their disposal during their operations.

Signed,

Adrian Voss, Head of Technological Science in InCom

Rilicon-InCom Sovereignty Accord

The following contract is put into effect between InCom and Rilicon following the signature of the current CEO and governor of InCom and the current president of the Democratic Republic of Rilicon.

This is a binding agreement. If either party were to breach contract, this document will be considered null and void until reviewed and renewed by a standing justice of the Rilicon Supreme Court, and the signing parties have the CEO of InCom and the President of the Democratic Republic of Rilicon re-sign onto the contract.

Article I: The Granting of Sovereignty to InCom

I-I. Definition of InCom Sovereignty
Sovereignty is defined as the ability to exercise absolute authority over itself, without another state’s or institution’s interference. This is what is being granted to InCom. InCom will be considered a completely independent state, with the only rules and regulations being applied to them being those mentioned in this document

I-II. Reasons for Granting of Sovereignty
InCom has been granted sovereignty by the Riliconian government due to its service to Rilicon after the crisis that shut down the Rilicon government and left the nation with no territory for a sizeable amount of time, approximately 11 years. Due to its loyalty and the ability to hod up the nation during that time, InCom is being granted sovereignty following the signing of this document.

I-III. Requirements and Special Conditions
InCom is expected to do three things, following the granting of its sovereignty:

Maintain a constitution of its own, reviewed and approved by the President of Rilicon before the signing of this document. This is a one-time requirement, and Riliconian review will be unnecessary after the first review.
Allow free travel between the Democratic Republic of Rilicon and the Corporate City State of InCom.
Other conditions mentioned later in this document or agreed and signed by the signing parties.

Article II: Territory Granted and Relocation

II-I. Territory Granted at Signing
Upon signing this contract, the city known currently as Pyongyang in Rilicon will be granted to InCom and renamed the Corporate City State of InCom. The boundaries of this newly formed nation will be the current city lines of the city, along with a 5 mile radius surrounding the current municipal boundary. Government facilities have already been relocated outside of Pyongyang, and citizens of Rilicon are considered both citizens of InCom and Rilicon, upon signing of this document. Exact citizenship laws are determined by the InCom constitution. People who live within, move to, or are born in the CCSI are considered citizens of Rilicon.**II-**

II-II. Relocation of the Corporate City State of InCom
If the governing authority of InCom so chooses, they can relocate the City State of InCom outside of Pyongyang. This relocation must be authorized by the nation that they are choosing to relocate to, or must be unclaimed territory that InCom chooses to claim. Relocation would return Pyongyang to the Democratic Republic of Rilicon, and the new territory would become the base of the Corporate City State of InCom. There is no limit upon relocation, as long as the procedures already stated are followed.

II-III. Space for Relocation
This area of the document is reserved for the recognition of relocation of the CCSI. Should InCom choose to relocate its territory, the CEO or other signing authority, along with the executive authority of the host nation, would sign here.

—

Article III: Military, Financial, and Political Freedoms

III-I. Definiton of InCom Employees and Personnel
At the time of signing, InCom employees and personnel are still considered employees of the corporation, and not employees or soldiers of the CCSI. InCom may change its laws to alter the status of employees and personnel, but at the signing of this document, the InCom military and government are separate from the corporate office and contractor reserves.

III-II. InCom’s Institutional Responsibilities
As a government, InCom is expected to:

Serve its people and provide jobs and a stable living environment.
Keep track of its own laws, regulations, and constitutional responsibilities.
Be able to effectively sustain itself as a nation; requiring no outside support for institutional responsibilities.

III-III. Economic Freedoms
InCom is granted its own economy upon signing of this document. It is expected to figure its own GDP, participate in its own deals, and have an economy free from Rilicon’s or any other nation’s. If InCom so chooses, it may establish its own currency, or choose to continue using the Riliconian Rilic.

Article IV: InCom and Riliconian Protections

IV-I. Protection of Sovereignty
This contract may not be nulled by any means other than the previously stated reasons. InCom will retain its sovereignty in times of war and peace, and may only be revoked due to breach of this contract or later additions that amend this document.

IV-II. Riliconian Protection Against InCom Interests
Attacks against Rilicon launched by or aided by InCom are considered a breach of this contract, and therefore null the contract until review by a supreme court justice. In addition, acts of espionage or intelligence are equally seen as a breach of contract. Rilicon choosing to launch military or covert operations into the CCSI or Corporate InCom will be seen as an equal breach of contract, and a punishment will be determined by an InCom authority and a Riliconian Supreme Court Justice.

IV-III. Corporate InCom and the CCSI
Corporate InCom is separate from the Corporate City State of InCom. However, they are closely intertwined. The assets and property within the CCSI is considered real estate owned by corporate InCom. The chief executive officer of InCom is also the governor of the CCSI, and is therefore expected to act in the best interest of both the corporation and the city. If those interests are conflicted, the judgement of the board of directors and the governor are to be followed. If the board is still contested, the personal opinion of the governor is followed. The governor can veto the acts of the board, but if a unanimous vote is cast to override the veto, then the board decides. This veto only works for decisions regarding the CCSI. Corporate bylaws define the CEO’s power during board meetings, and other decisions of corporate InCom.

IV-IV. Rilicon-InCom Mutual Defense Clause
An attack against InCom or the CCSI is considered an attack against Rilicon, and an attack against Rilicon is considered an attack against InCom and the CCSI. An attack constitutes anything that involves personnel from another nation entering the nation without authorization. At request, one nation must provide assistance to the other, which includes humanitarian assistance and military aid.

Article V: Contract Duration and Termination

V-I. Duration of Contract
This contract has an indefinite duration. There is no date by which the contract is nulled, and is only nulled by breach of contract or being found unconstitutional.

V-II. Leadership of the CCSI
The leadership of the CCSI is granted to the CEO of InCom, who then becomes both chief executive officer of corporate InCom and the governor of the CCSI. The process by which the next CEO is determined is in the bylaws of corporate InCom, and are therefore not addressed in this contract.

V-III. Termination of Contract
This contract may be terminated after a breach of contract that a supreme court justice views as a large enough offense to terminate it. This contract may not be terminated by any means other than breach of contract, or if it is later seen as unconstitutional.

V-IV. Dispute Resolution
Disputes between Rilicon and InCom are to be resolved in a diplomatic way. As previously stated, acts of war between the two nations are seen as a breach of contract. If Rilicon or InCom is held in contempt for breach of contract, a supreme court justice is put on the case until it is resolved. While the contract is supsended, InCom holds moderate autonomy, with Rilicon being able to review actions of the governor of the CCSI and veto specific actions that would worsen the relationship between Rilicon and the CCSI. Should the contract be terminated, the CCSI returns to the jurisdiction of Rilicon, and InCom returns to being a corporation. The military and government institutions of the CCSI would be dissolved.

Article VI: Signing Parties

This contract is signed by The acting president of Rilicon Astreum Ito, the acting CEO of InCom Andrew Teller, and Supreme Court Justice Adrian Crosswell verifying this document as constitutional under the Rilicon constitution.

CEO of InCom: Andrew Teller 8/20/2140
