After months of research and trials, one of Echobankia's applied technology firms has patented a hyper-efficient air scrubber. Using oxidising nano-carbon materials and a novel construction process, the OxyWave can scrub, filter and recirculate air in a closed environment 140% more efficiently than conventional models. In conjunction with the sensor package, the OxyWave can deliver clean, oxygenated air with significantly lower power drain and less compressed oxygen is required, resulting in a reduced payload weight.

The Echobankian government has provided assistance for the international marketing of this revolutionary new technology. While initially intended for recreational diving and submarine atmospheric systems, one can easily imagine other uses for this technology.........

OOC: Not trying to insult anyone else's efforts at a space program but my nations backstory is that they are super-technologically advanced. So i'm a bit ahead of the Momosan Star fleet but I rely on orbital ship yards and a recently built space elevator (actually got an issue to build that so its cannon) to support my fleet rather than planetary bases. My main aim will be as someone looking on disdainfully at your efforts to get into orbit(not really i'm cheering you on but my character is not), i will and i'm sure Momocarlile will as well rescue any ships of your that get into trouble. After all we don't you losing and lives making the same mistakes we did. But I won't give you any tech.

OOC: Technologically advanced doesn't mean you are above the Momosa. I've had the Star Fleet issue since before I moved to Conch Kingdom. I've implemented just about every future technology issue that exists. You can't just randomly show up in a RP and say "I'm actually better than this person." I mean, you still rely on orbiting space stations ;P

"Status Report, Ban."

"After a month of researching and trials, Conch Kingdom has not gotten any closer to reaching the moon."

"That's good. Stay on alert. Report when that changes."

Meliodas spun his chair away from the screen.

"Well, things have settled down for now."

Momo you are quite correct i'm sincerely sorry old chap, but will you assist my orbital patrol boats in rescuing survivors of any accidents or if then run out of rocket fuel. Do you remember when our star vessels used rockets, anti matter gravity drives for the win baby, YEAH.

Papa Winston is sitting at a small table playing cards with some of his closest advisers.

"You know, this whole 'space race' hoopla doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Since the announcement from Dives Novum, followed by Tieopia, Helghan and Puffin Islands, there seems to be no actual effort to achieve a lunar touchdown."

"I agree," adds Dean Peters. "It is almost like they are waiting for each other to make the first move. Did any of them really want to land on the moon at all? They are just blowing smoke out of their arses, posturing for the press and world assembly."

"I wonder what is holding them back?" muses Winston leading out a low diamond. "Are they trying to organise funding? Negotiate commercial contracts? Or maybe they are just hoping that if no-one else actually commits to this venture, they can pull out without losing face?"

Morgan Maybread plays the jack of diamonds. "I think you may have a point about blowing smoke and saving face. Our SIS analysts reckon that Prime Minister Nicomachus started this whole affair for reasons other than commercial or scientific gain. He's definitely looking to boost his popularity as leader of Dives Novum, that's for sure. But I suspect that there may be some measure of a white elephant gambit involved: initiate a space race, then watch his neighbors bankrupt themselves. Of course, that is pure speculation at this point, but we have some foreign staff... investigating... this idea."

"Based on our current understanding of the matter, is it still actually worth our time and effort to support their space programs?" asks Dean, winning the trick with the queen.

"I would say not," Winston answers. "Despite our work on the OxyWave thing, I think we should shelve our R&D grants for space stuff. The meteorological center's long-range forecast is predicting droughts this summer in the nation of Aelinate. We could probably have a chat with the agricultural industry heads and see if we can capitalise on that."

Talk at the table continues into the night, the topics ranging from irrigation technology, to the autonomous vehicle trend, and many subjects in between, the ill-fated 'space race' no longer a primary concern.



*OOC: This RP doesn't seem to be progressing at all, so I thought I would, at least for now, try and wrap it up with a conclusion of sorts.*

OOC) I've been buisy while I was gone. He he he.

Queensport, Puffin Islands
12:41am

"As you can see behind me, the Taurus 1 is nearing launch. This project is said to have been developed long before the space race, and even before King Hunter took the throne. The Taurus 1's mission is to get Allen Rickers and Calvin Johnston into orbit. While funding was low, and after King Hunter went off the radar, it was beleived that this project would never take off, no pun intended. And there they are! The two brave men, who will be the first to pilot the advanced "Taurus Space Fuel," the new extremely powerful, extremely secretive fuel used to power the first and second stage boosters. After that, the Space Shuttle-like capsul will orbit Earth, and attach "Focus 3" to the Strauss Space Telescope, which can take photos of planets lightyears away."

A rumble ran through the area. The rockets were firing up. The blue and red boosters would fall off somewere between Tieopia's Northern Coast and the Southern Puffin Islands after they punched Taurus 1 into space. But, people don't know the true purpose of Taurus 1. No one exept the Royal Cabinet, and the King himself and they are not going to tell anytime soon.


PS: Taurus Rocket Fuel is for sale for 6 Puffels a gallon ($6.00 per gallon) and can be purchased only from the Puffin Islands.

"Sir."

Meliodas spun his chair around to face the screen.

"What is it Ban?"

"It seems Puffin Islands is already launching a rocket as we speak. They were secretly conducting experiments. None of my spies could get inside to find out how close they were."

"Very well. Keep me posted."

The screen shut down, and Meliodas spun back around.

"I'm getting a strange feeling about this rocket." He said to nobody in particular.

OOC: RP never dies ;P

An advisor comes in to the presidential office and says "Mr. Fancypants we have finished development on on our space shuttle prototype, what should we do?"

Bartholomew replies, "Great, I'll prepare for an announcement tomorrow, Can you Be ready for launch in 3 days?"

"yes" the advisor replies, " we just need to move the ship to the launching station" then the advisor takes out a folder and hands it to Bartholomew saying "Puffin Islands have just launched their own rocket"

"Thank you for telling me this, you may be dismissed" as the advisor leaves Bartholomew begins to work on writing his speech

OOC: My rocket is underground and will be launching from underground

Queensport, Puffin Islands

"LIFT OFF! Taurus 1 is off! This day will be renembered in the Puffin Islands for years!"

*Inside the Capsule* "Captain Rickers, Corpral Johnston; any issues?" "No sir. We are good up here." "Alright Rickers, remember, your mission is to attach Focus 3 on the Strauss ST and then launch Remembrance. It is important that Remebrance is not damaged. The Titanium-Alloy is sturdy, put the interior is fragile." "Yes sir. Remembrance will not be damaged sir. I will be sure of that." "Exelent. You should be nearing SST, so prepare Focus 3." "Alright sir. Should we activate Remembrance?" "No, once Mjolnir is attached, they will activate it then." "Alright Sir." The radio then went silent.

"Sir, may I ask what Remembrance is?" a young soldier said. "Let's just say it is called the Remembrance for a reason."

It was all falling together. Focus 3 was attached. Remembrance was launched, and Mjolnir is almost ready. This truly is going to be a day to remember in the Puffin Islands. King Hunter was releived at this news. He proceded to celebate with a bottle of champaign and a dip in the hot tub. Today is a good day.

OOC) A lot of the things mentioned in the post are important, so remember this. Taurus Rocket Fuel is also still for sale. Buy some while you can.

"Fighters, stay ready and cloaked. Don't jump the gun on this one. Sir Meliodas thinks Puffin Islands might be up to something. There first launch went off a little too well. Follow that rocket, but keep your distance."

"Aye"

Four nearly invisible fighters left the base and made there was along behind the rocket as it approached the satellite.

"What do you see Osiris?"

"They seem to have just attached to the satellite, sir."

"Standby Osiris. Be ready for anything."

Underbow City, Tieopia

A crowd of people are gathered near a podium which it being broadcasted on live television, The Leader of Tieopia, Bartholomew Fancypants, enters and steps up to the podium and starts his speech "Hello to all of the people who have gathered to see this speech today." Bartholomew straightens out his speech papers and begins, "We are fancy, we live to help the world, and we don't let anything keep us down, so now we will go up, up beyond this world, and bring peace throughout the stars. in two days from now we will be launching for the moon, and we have created a new alloy that we have fitted ship with, it will protect us from anything that will hit the ship and will absorb the shock allowing for a safer journey for our astronauts. We will plant our flag on the moon marking our journey and accomplishment. We are the home of the fancy, and we are the land of Tieopia!" as the speech ends the crowd cheers and then Bartholomew steps down and exits.


OOC: the TV Broadcast is being broadcasted to everyone of the Conch Kingdom, also my alloy can be bought for 3 Fancy coins per Kg ($3.00 a Kg) from all who need it (Tieopian Exclusive)
