Talk:Republic of Man (Apocalypse Yours)

"This is McChord Air Force Base, of the Seattle City State, what can we do for you?"--YNot1989 02:41, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * "Understood Mr. McKenzy. Seattle is currently in possession of more provisions than we have people to use it for, our population is only at about 600,000. We can't do much for you about food though, our reconstruction efforts have only claimed a few small farms just outside of Tacoma and Everett. If you'd like we can send the SCS Abraham Lincoln and SCS John C. Stennis to your location immediately with ammunition and medical supplies. As far as the vat grown meat is concerned, the equipment to create it in Seattle would be very much appreciated, don't worry about the vaccine though, almost all of the infected in our territory have already died. It will take some time for the Stennis and the Lincoln to get there though, we are still trying to keep the Panama Canal Zone secure, so it may take a little time for our ships to get through. --YNot1989 18:14, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * "Mr. McKenzy, this is Consul General Steele; while we understand your plight, you must understand that we barely have enough food to be self sufficient ourselves. However I would like to inform you that the Forum and Speaker Edwards have just approved the production and shipping of ammunition, V-22 Ospreys, CH-47 Chinook, UH-60 Black Hawk, and CH-53K Super Stallions to the British Isles via the Lincoln and the Stennis, as well as a number of smaller cargo ships. As for you request for personnel, I'm afraid the Forum has elected to send only a small expeditionary and diplomatic force of 500 soldiers. You must understand that our population is quite low by comparison to yours and our military is largely for defensive and exploratory reasons. If you wish to send the Illustrious to provide us with the vat grown meat technology we will exchange supplies with it in harbor. As for the vaccine, in light of this new evidence we will gladly accept your offer. Our Eugenics programs have kept new infected from being born, but the opportunity to speed up repopulation efforts would be quite promising. We thank you for your offer to assist in securing the Panama Canal Zone, and we await your aid from the Atlantic with great anticipation. As for your reports of the Bull. We thank you for your caution, there have been rumors of escaped highland cattle from select ranchers, but up until now I had disregarded it as just another horror story from the wastes. If it is true, we will begin exterminating these beasts immediately. Good luck, and we hope our supplies will rendezvous with you soon.--YNot1989 00:09, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * "Mr. McKenzy, it is excellent news to hear of your contact in the Falklands, as well of the departure of the Illustrious for Seattle. As for your inquiry about the Panama Canal Zone; our main problems have been coming from a number of raiders that have concentrated in the canal zone and are making attacks on refugee camps and making it rather difficult for our exploration teams to secure the locks. If we can locate and eliminate their base of operations, we may be able to allow for ease of passage through Panama.--YNot1989 01:47, September 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * To whom it may concern. As Speaker of the Forum, I have been asked to convey to you that the Seattle City State is more than happy to help a fellow bastion of civilization in this decaying world. Seattle is a city that has free and open trade, and the Republic of Mann's businesses are welcome to offer the wares to our markets; though we expect the same liberty with our own enterprises. Both, Tully's Coffee and Jones Soda have recently begun using resources in our zone of Panama to rebuild their supply; Isilon Systems, Amazon, Expedia, and Cray Inc. have begun creating new consumer electronics and software, and a number of investment firms have expressed interest in dealing with the Republic. As for your offer to send SAS trainers to aid the Seattle Military; Consul General Steel has expressed a great interest in this, and would welcome the legendary warfighters as that the SAS has to offer.--YNot1989 04:08, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Tacoma Airships
Mr. McKenzy, as a representative of Tacoma Airships, I would like to inquire if the Republic of Mann is in need of an air vehicle that can provide heavy close air support to your soldiers, while also acting as an effective transport over large distances and hostile territory. If so, you may be interested in purchasing several D-29A Assault Airships or our transport variant the D-29C Cargo Airship. These dynalifters are the largest derigables ever built and have been instrumental in Seattle's efforts to rebuild at home and provide security abroad, and we would be happy to do business with your nation. -With much anticipation, Paul Stovich; Vice President of Marketing for Tacoma Airships.


 * Mr. McKenzy,in response to your inquiry about the D-29 series, I believe I have the answers to your inquiries.

-Paul Stovich; Vice President of Marketing for Tacoma Airships.
 * The craft is approximately 350 meters in length, uses eight PW 127 turbo props to propel itself at speeds equalling that of an AC-130 gunship, and has the same cargo capacity as a C-5 Galaxy. The craft makes use of tilt-wing technology to land and take off vertically, a feature that also makes loitering easier than conventional heavy gunships. If you have any specific information regarding the craft's specifications please do not hesitate to ask.
 * One D-29C costs approximately $62 million USD, while the D-29A being a military grade craft costs twice as much.
 * It takes roughly a month for a single D-29C to be built, but thanks to our new facilities we can produce as many as four per month. The D-29A will take two extra weeks to install weapon systems and additional avionics. Each weapons port can be traded out for various arms, and avionics are modular and can be replaced quite easily. Engines however do require trained technicians.
 * General McKenzie;

We would be willing to permit the creation of a D-29 manufacturing plant in the Republic, but we must stress that it would remain part of the Tacoma Airships Conglomerate. All funds would flow back to our headquarters in Seattle. The ships you have already requested are on there way now, but if you want to build your own, we ask that you agree to these terms. -Paul Stovich; Vice President of Marketing for Tacoma Airships.
