Salt power will be widely used in Australia's canal system, to filter out the salt and put it to good use. Australian scientists will be working on a cocktail of painkillers and stimulants to be used in certain squads, injected via the aforementioned helmet, when they are needed. Propoganda which subtly encourages atheism begins to trickle into the media, in hopes to eliminate most mainstream religion in 30 or so years.

Yeah, that's fine. A team of Australian scientists has been sent to wherever to work on salt power. Would mean I can generate power through my canal systems as well.

Rocco, would you care to share the load with that soil treatment? Also, in addition to the stuff in my last post, Australia is going to build large solar plants around the centre of the continent, and wind farms off the coast. Archi, it's mostly to make sure that people are ready to defend, knowing some of the trigger happy people we have in this thread. I can introduce it over a number of years, if need be, and I can activate a propoganda campaign to help the cause.

Australia's new leader has emerged from the shadows. First order of business is making the land closer to the centre of the continent more usable, and to do so, canals and rivers will be created to move water closer to the centre. Rock filters and such will be used to make sure the water is suitable for growing crops with. The extra crops will also help global warming. Second order of business is research on new body armour, utilising non-newtonian fluids bound together with a layer of kevlar. Also included in this body armour will be a helmet with GPS capability, a UI which displays terrain and enemy information, and a multitude of sensors to display vital signs and personal info and such, as well as a targeting system. ETA is 4 years for the body armour, and 6 years for the helmet. All citizens of age 16 or above have to go through a mandatory 1 year two-step training program, the first step is in the semi-arid lands which are around the centre of Australia, and then the second stage is in the rainforest-type areas. The lands have been specifically chosen to be as harsh as possible, to make sure everyone is ready for combat in such conditions. A new set of guns will also be worked on, and cyberkinetic enhancements to an elite squad of troops. ETA is 8 years for both. Until then, Australia's troops are using the standard M16s. (Gah, I thought this wasn't going to be another "Annex the hell out of everything you can until there's nothing left" start.)

Eh. I'll start as Australia. I'll do some research and such and then start in a few hours.

I thought that this thread wasn't going to do space stuff?

Hmm.. I might come in as Australia. I'll see how I feel in a few hours.

Hmmm.

I'm not quitting. I'm hiding in my bubble of awesome and taking everyone else out of existance.

Because relying on a single defensive measure is totally something I would do! Anyway, must be off, chemistry exam tommorow.

Then it becomes an arms race, in which I have the advantage, since you can't create a cure until after I create the poison.

I'm going to poison and rot the world. Sentient plant ftw.

Fine, I'll commit omnicide of the local area. I'll begin creating the calculations and computations required to cause everything within about 1000 LY of sol to become nonexistant, then work on the calculations to bridge the dimensional gap and initiate plan "Destroy FREAKING EVERTHING". Also, I'm not creating a shockwave, I'm creating unexistance. "I will destroy everything! I will create a monument to non-existance!" Alternatively: "Now, for my next trick, I will make you all...disappear!" Guess the quote, win a virtual cookie.

Awesome. Then nobody can stop me from commiting omnicide with my universe destroying computer, right?

Hm. Can anybody else enter my special bubble of awesome?

Fair enough. If anybody is going to cause total and complete omnicide in this thread, it's going to be me. All defenses, stored research data, and production stations moved to the matrioshka brain.

Oh cool. The Matrioshka brain attempts to warp spacetime to unrecognisable levels and alter the laws of physics.

In that case, combo breaker? Anyways, that is pretty cool, and that laptop must have increased in value like tenfold when he'd finished writing.

I don't know what that means. Did I suicide by accident?

Is there anything to stop higher up people from ganking the hell out of the people who have only just got the level 10 palace?

Matrioshka brain attempts to destroy the local area by creating a huge rift in space time. Also, I'm going to buy that software today (Assuming I remember which, being honest, I probably wont) and I'm planning to create a game which is literally a pure ripoff of fire emblem. Who would want to play said game if it were created?

Agrius attempts to meiotise once more before having them all move onto land regardless of how many have the ability to survive or not. They then start to make the ground and the air around them toxic and feed off of anything that dies in the area.

The 5 with the basic lungs attempt to transfer the gene into a new generation through use of meiosis.

Agrius decides to sacifice half of it's numbers to find the ones with the most resistance to the air. They continue flooding the area with poison and killing anything nearby.

Agrius floods the surrounding water with poison, and makes occassional ventures onto the dry sand, to increase their resistance to the air.
