Greetings Covenant Security,

I am Veronica Dominguez, secretary of the Puerto Coco Organization. My Boss, Mister Mike Haze, wants to recruit a Private Military firm for various purposes but he also wishes to meet with you in person. We want a Military Company to ensure that our assets are secured 24/7 and to also aid our organization to expand these assets.
Please forgive me for not getting into details. It is Mr. Haze's wish that you further discuss matters in the meeting.

Thank you for your attention,
Puerto Coco Organization

Dear Mr. Mar’si:

The Narva Mining Group is a Monavian corporation that produces and deals in precious gems and lapidary equipment. It ranks fourth among Monavian gem producers in terms of sales volume and has the fifth-largest workforce in its industry. It therefore follows that the considerable scale of the company’s operations results in the production, storage, and transportation of high-value stones in quantities large enough to merit extensive security measures.

The Narva Mining Group is looking to expand its operations by opening new mining sites in a number of countries, beginning with the Grand Theocratic Empire and the People’s Unified Federation of Mokastana. After consulting with a number of company officials, we believe that CSC is uniquely positioned to provide security to these sites and our future gem processing centers. We also believe that CSC’s personnel who specialize in maritime and aerial security are well-suited for ensuring that our international shipments proceed unmolested by criminal elements that may arise in the future.

Owing to the fact that precious gems are frequently used by criminals for money laundering and clandestine payments, we are always concerned that our products may be purchased or stolen by persons involved in unlawful activities. In the past, we have cooperated with law enforcement agencies to arrange sting operations in which we create front companies staffed by undercover police. We believe that CSC personnel specializing in law enforcement functions will prove useful in such projects as a number of our managers and directors strongly agree with the sentiments expressed by the morality clause CSC includes in its contracts.

Given the foregoing information, I am interested in having your office perform a needs assessment that we can use to determine the parameters of future service contracts with CSC. I look forward to receiving your firm’s recommendations.

Sincerely,

Cyrus Doran

Topic: Needs Assessment

Contractee,

We have completed your Needs Assessment. What follows is a basic summary. Within this reply are the full thirty-two page report on the Grand Theocratic Location and the one-hundred and two page report on the proposed PUF location.

Grand Theocratic Empire Location- The Theocracy, between its heavily militarized police presence(Marshite Militia), surveillance, and extremely low crime rate, is unlikely to produce criminal activity towards your corporation. Having said that, one must always be prepared for such a possibility. Surveillance of the site both day and night by on-base security services through cameras, motion sensors, drones, and foot patrols are likely best suited for this job. A small response team as well as a series of alarms, weight and load detectors, and other basic security equipment should suffice. Establishing emergency lines with local Marshite Militia forces should also be a necessity. Transport security should be handled by the Marshite Militia.

Deployment Suggestion: 9 Security Officers (Surveillance and Drone coverage), 36 Patrol Officers (Patrol Security), 12 Rapid Responders (Armed Response), 12 Security Support Staff (Logistics and Maintenance). Installation of alarms, weight and load, infrared, materials detectors, metal detectors, cameras, and motion detectors. One security building. Purchase of at least three recon drones. Small vehicles and small arms.


Peopled Federation Location- While much of the PUF is indeed secure, criminal organizations including large cartels are well-known for having power and influence. As such, the PUF location should have high security. Along with everything noted above with the Theocratic location, any PUF location should consider the use of armed vehicles. A large rapid reaction force should be placed on standby at a nearby facility. If the location is rural enough, one might also consider a multi-tiered checkpoint system on the roads leading to and from the complex. Contact with Federal and local MDC forces would be required.

Deployment Suggestion: 12 Security Officers, 72 Patrol Officers, 24 Rapid Responders, 36 Off-Site Rapid Responders, 24 Security Support Staff, 16 Checkpoint Security (four checkpoints), 16 Transport Security, 8 Transport Security Support, 18 On-Site Vehicle Maintenance Staff, 12 Off-Site Maintenance Staff. Installation of alarms, weight and load, infrared, materials detectors, metal detectors, cameras, and motion detectors. Three Security Buildings- two for operations, one for vehicles. Construction of three checkpoints along the route with booths. Construction of a checkpoint at facility entrance. Construction of small rapid response facility not far from the complex. Purchase of at least three recon drones. Light and heavy small arms as well as light IFVs (at least five) on-site. Three helicopters, small and heavy arms located offsite.

These suggestions are made with the intent of securing your mine to the fullest and may not fit into your budgetary strategy. Feel free to modify to your liking.

Regards,
Stan Mar'si, Head of Contracts and Standards

Dear Mr. Mar’si:

My company has reviewed the findings contained in the needs assessment that your staff conducted at my request. Since my staff concluded that your firm’s recommendations appear both reasonable and appropriate in relation to the parameters I specified in my previous correspondence with you, I am now requesting official price quotes for implementing the suggestions outlined in both of your summaries. Before generating said quote, I wish to add a few additional details that your staff will need to know in order to calculate reliable numbers.

  • In addition to the security needed once both new sites become operations, my company will also require some measure of security during the construction process leading up to the point at which the sites become active.
  • Both sites will be located in rural areas, so considerations stemming from close proximity to population centers will not be an issue.
  • Owing to the fact that high-value gems are easier to launder than cash or other valuables, my staff has also determined that the Mokan location will need to feature an onsite vault facility capable of securing a large concentration of our inventory from local drug cartels.
  • I am requesting price quotes for the cost of securing both sites during construction and the cost of securing their subsequent operations. In the latter case, please assume that operational security contracts have a duration of three years and feature a provision for automatic renewal in the event neither party elects to terminate it.

My staff and I look forward to reviewing the price quotes you provide and sharing them with our finance division for discussion. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have should any arise.

Sincerely,

Cyrus Doran

Contract Time (in months only, minimum one): Two Months
Do you agree to pay us in NSD and in advance?: Yes

Description of Mission Parameters:
Convenant Security Concerns will provide a Mercenary Spearhead for operations into the former nation of Yaroslav to break enemy forces in mostly urban combat.

Objective will be to defeat local military power and occupy the territory for future annexation. Military planners anticipate one month of open conflict, but the contract will include two months of bonus combat pay.


Regarding the following points:
3- In the event of Deaths of Operatives,the PUF agrees to paying the $48,000 dollar fee for the first 2,000 deaths. After which, we propose paying $24,000 per death.
4- Half of the two month combat deployment will be paid up front. Although we only anticipate 1 month of armed conflict, two months of 20% combat pay bonus will be included.
5- Contract Completion bonus will be based on After Actions reports of the effectiveness of CSC units. Every week, the Army Group CSC will be attached to will have to cover X number of Kilometers. The objective is to hit all first four week goals on time. CSC will be paid a bonus of 3% on the first month of the contract, for each goal hit in the during the first four weeks of the contract.

From: The People's Federal Army - Military procurement
Topic: Re: Your Contract

Thank you for your prompt response. I apologize if I am renegotiating the deal, but military needs change on a coin. Fortunately for you, this is more coin for you.

First, revised military needs suggest tripling this contract, from 20,000 to 60,000 combatants.

Secondly, concerns over death payments was the driving force behind the low ball offer of death payments over 10%. Instead I propose we honor that original number of $48,000 per death, but if 10% deaths are reached, CSC will be pulled from combat duty and the contract will be terminated at the end of that month.

Third, the bonus will remain 3% for objectives reached in the first month. That said, once the original two month contract is up, we will have an option for a six month Security contract. Bonus is to be determined, as it will be based on security needs determined after the occupation is finished.
Contract Type, Major: Security
Contract Type, Minor: Law Enforcement Detail

Obviously, if CSC reaches 10% deaths during month two, this 6 month security contract will not be offered.

Are these revisions acceptable?

This does not include the combat escalation in the contract which remains an option should combat be either expected or occur. This also does not include day to day living allowances (such as food and light medical care not covered by the Combat Medical and Surgical Medical Plans covered by CSC) which is considered to be under your organization's purview.

Dear Mr. Mar’si:

My staff reviewed the revised bid you sent me and concluded that its terms are satisfactory to our company’s interests. We also agree with your assertions regarding our responsibility for our own company property, living allowances, and select medical expenses, so there should be no issues with any of those items.

There is one final matter—the pricing scheme for combat escalation—that I want to inquire about as part of closing this deal. How does CSC estimate its prices for combat escalation bonuses? What projections can you provide us as part of this deal? I eagerly await your response regarding these matters.

Sincerely,

Cyrus Doran

To: The People's Federation
From: Covenant Security Concerns
Topic: RE: Your Contract

These revisions have been accepted. In addition to the Covenant Mercenary Guid, Kraken Security will additionally be called in to fulfill the contract. The following is a breakdown of cost:

Base Contract Cost: $240 million.
Combat Bonus: $48 million.
Additional- Objective Completion Bonus: $7.2 million per objective hit, four objectives.
Total: $288 million, escalation with objective completion bonuses to $295.2-$316.8 million.

The People's Federation is to pay the Base Contract and Combat Bonus for a minimum of one month, even if casualties exceed the limits we have discussed within that time period. If operations continue into the second month by more than one hour, the second month of payment shall also be considered guaranteed.

Pleasure doing business with you, and may we see future business together.

Topic: Your Contract

Mr. Doran,

I am pleased you have found the agreement to your liking. As for the combat escalation, it is an additional 20% applied to an operator's pay when combat is expected or takes place. This bonus applies to all operators in the contractual range (separated into the PUF and Theocratic locations) when it is activated. Normally this bonus is applied permanently for the contract length, but the nature of the contract here means we would apply it only in three month increments. (Example: Combat bonus applies to February, March, and April if it is activated due to cause or expectation at any point in February).

I hope this answers your question and we may begin the contract.

Name: Brigada Mangangayaw (en: Raider Brigade)
Leader/Main Operator/Owner: Alexander Hiraya
Size: approx. 5,000 + a few commercial vessels converted into motherships, and a small air force of helicopters and VTOL aircraft
(NOTE: I intend for them to get better gear as they accept contracts)
Mission Capability: Training, Security, Combat, Intelligence - they specialise in amphibious operations.
Mission Statement of Organization: By sea, by air, by land.
Organizational Notes: Mangangayaw is a Palmyrian term that denotes any seaborne pirate raiding party in the olden times. Their activities lasted from the birth of the Palmyrian nation-state, up until their British colonial period. When Palmyrion gained independence, many of these mangangayaw crews - which had performed attacks on British forces in Palmyrion - swore fealty to the Palmyrian nation-state and formed the building blocks of the Marine Corps, while others started privateer duties with a sworn promise not to attack Palmyrian, Marshite, or Romandean shipping (a promise that has expanded to include Palmyrion's new allies, notably signatories and member-states of the RMU, CAPINTERN, NMAA, and the Amistad Declaration). These privateer crews were banned by the Stalinist regime, but their legitimacy was quickly restored, and nowadays these crews are now PMCs specialising mainly in amphibious operations and maritime security. The Brigada Mangangayaw is one such mangangayaw company, and enlisting as a sub-crew in Covenant Security Concerns will present a watershed moment for the company.
Do you adhere to the Morality Clause? Yes.
Do you accept the rules for Covenant Security Concerns? Yes.

Time: 11:13
Date: 08.14.20
Memo: [Classified] Request for training operations with CSC.

FROM: VIAD Official Headquarters in [REDACTED].

The VIAD of the Federated Republic of Varenskjyr wishes to open a dialogue with Covenant Security Concerns to discuss coordination efforts in matters of national security and intelligence. It has come to the attention of VIAD, OSIS, and VAF leaders that our decades long civil war is, in many parts, a result of our own lack of understanding in military doctrine and modern tactical ethos. For over 70 years, the armed forces of the Federated Republic of Varenskjyr had been decentralized and contextualized by a myriad of competing militias and armed factions. Although some reform in the last decade has been successful in unifying most of the militias into a unified command structure, namely the Varenskjyrian Red Army, there are many areas in which the Varenskjyrian Combined Operative Forces (VCOF) lack. With that in mind, the VIAD wishes to contract CSC for a MAJOR training contract type. The VIAD is especially interested in acquiring a package that contains the following training materials:

    Ground Forces Training
    Air Forces Training
    Medical Training

The VIAD is also interested in Intelligence Training, but costs are a major point of consideration for Varenskjyr and discussions must be had before deciding whether or not to include that in this package. The VCOF prioritizes the above three training missions, particularly with the Air Forces training, as the republic has recently acquired the following equipment, but lacks the necessary training to use such technologies tactically and with operational success:

    Mi-2URN - 16 helicopters
    Mi-8T - 8 helicopters
    Mi-6 - 2 helicopters
    MiG-21Bis - 4 fighter jets
    MiG-23MLD - 6 fighter jets

The VIAD, OSIS, and VCOF are incredibly interested in your response to this query. Fighting separatism, violent extremism, and Islamism are important elements in the national security of the Federated Republic of Varenskjyr. Since 1955, this country has been devastated by perpetual fighting, and with your assistance, VCOF believes that the civil war can be taken to new degrees, inching closer towards an end. VIAD is willing to enter in-depth negotiations for costing, and the official application is included below:

Nation/Contractee: Varenskjyrian Combined Operative Forces
Contract Type, Major: Ground Forces Training, Medical Training, Air Force Training
Contract Type, Minor: Intelligence Training
Requested Deployment numbers (Minimum 10, Maximum 50,000): As deemed necessary by CSC for successful training and consultation operations.
Contract Time (in months only, minimum one): 6 months, with possibility of extension.
Do you agree to pay us in NSD and in advance?: Yes.
Do you abide by the morality clause of the Covenant Security Concerns?: Yes, as the Federated Republic of Varenskjyr is only interested in unifying the nation and ending violent extremism and separatism.
Renewal Clause?: Yes
Description of Mission Parameters: The VCOF is hoping that CSC can provide in-depth training on the following topics (as well as others deemed necessary by CSC):

Ground Forces:
    Urban warfare tactics
    Counterinsurgency operations
    Counterterrorism
    Military-Emergency responses to national disasters and emerging situations
    Conflict resolution
    Cohesion between intelligence and tactical operations
    Military Doctrine

Medical Training:
    Rapid responses to disasters
    Medic training
    Field hospital logistics

Topic: Your Contract

Contractee,

Our Contract and Standard department have reviewed your offer and after negotiations have decided to ACCEPT the contract. The total sum paid up-front will be $0 due to the anti-slavery nature of this operation, which naturally leads many contractors and organization within CSC to desire engagement regardless of cost. The total contract value, to be paid at completion, will be $10 million dollars plus associated munition costs and death bonuses. A contract completion bonus of $4 million has also been assigned. This contract shall be undertaken by Covenant Incorporated. Renewal will be discussed in the month leading up to the contract end.

Death to the slaver,
Stan Mar'si, Head of Contracts and Standards

To: VIAD Official Headquarters in [WE SEE YOU]
From: Covenant Security Concerns
Topic: Needs Assessment

Contractee,

There are three major elements in play while discussing the fulfillment of your contract. The first is the nature of the training desired. Since much of it is doctrinal and organizational and less field-work and individual skills based, we understand this as a desire to overhaul national military doctrine and organization. The second is the scope of the training requested. Since it is wide ranging we have pulled from avariety of contractors and outfits within CSC to give you the necessary skills requested. Third, the desire to keep the cost low enough to satisfy you. What follows is the proposal:

210 Operatives assigned to the contracts for Urban warfare tactics, Counterinsurgency operations, and Counterterrorism. This will include 12 Operatives assigned as high-level doctrinal specialists in these fields to help formulate a national response to these concerns, 80 Operatives assigned to the dissemination and training of officers and command staff in these matters per your formulated national response, and 108 Operatives to be used as a Wargame/Red Cell unit for the testing of these tactics, counter-insurgency ethos, and counterterrorist response implementations. All 210 are experts in their field and highly experienced and should yield you tremendous results.

65 Operatives assigned to the contract for "Military-Emergency responses to national disasters and emerging situations". 5 Operatives are assigned as high-level coordination experts and emergency preparedness experts, and 60 Operatives are assigned as training liasons between command structures relevant to the disasters and emerging situations. The goal is to craft the appropriate national response to a variety of possible emergencies and situations and training the appropriate authorities and military forces with the right capabilities on the proper response.

35 Operatives are assigned to the contract for conflict resolution. 5 are assigned at a high-level to help foster an environment capable of creating working solutions to conflicts that currently rage. 30 Operatives are assigned to the tactical training of officers on the best methods of attempting to end a conflict, where strategically acceptable and tactically advantageous or otherwise promoted by the formulated national strategy.

160 Operatives are assigned to the contract for Cohesion between intelligence and tactical operations. 20 Operatives are assigned as high-level tactical intelligence experts and should provide you with the top-layer insight needed to formulate a national system of superior tactical intelligence. 70 Operatives are assigned to the relevant units and agencies to help foster cohesion and same-use thought and knowledge between them, up to and including the formation of any new branches required to foster this. 70 Operatives are assigned as Field Tactical Intelligence and can be used in both a tactical training and advisory capacity as well as field use when necessary.

45 Operatives are selected for the contract for Military Doctrine. 15 Operatives are assigned to aid your military high command or relevant authority in the development of a superior national military doctrine that will fit your national capabilities and ambitions. 30 Operatives are assigned to oversee the development, disimbursement, and high-level educating of this doctrine as it applies in relevant officer academies or other spaces of military learning.

60 Operatives are assigned to the contract for rapid responses to disasters. All are used in a training capacity of medical units in preparation for deployment to disaster zones. High-level strategy of this category is considered to be closely tied to the contract for "Military-Emergency responses to national disasters and emerging situations".

80 Operatives are assigned to the contract for medic training. 10 Operatives are assigned to help establish a national program aimed at the development of a superior battlefield medic. 70 Operatives are assigned to direct-training of available medical technicians, as well as field work if required.

55 Operatives are assigned to the contract for Field hospital logistics. 5 Operatives are assigned to high-level discussions as to the makeup, deployment, running, staffing, training, and supply of a field hospital. 50 Operatives, divided into teams per field hospital per the national strategy, will help implement the decisions made in regards to field hospitals in league with officers and other necessary authorities.

14 Operatives are assigned to the Operational skills contract. 2 Operatives are assigned to help formulate the nation's air force doctrine and areas of strategic and tactical concern. 10 Operatives are assigned to flight testing and training of pilots for the stated airframes. 2 Operatives are assigned to the establishing and running of education programs for the nation's air force witha focus on operational skills.

9 Operatives are assigned to the contract for Technical skills. 2 Operatives are assigned to help integrate knowledge of the nation's air force's technical aspects and capabiities into teh wider military network and seek out ways to improve them. 5 Operatives are assigned to the training of pilots and technicians of the technical skills required for each specific airframe. 2 Operatives are assigned to the establishing and running of education programs for the nation's air force with a focus on technical skills.

14 Operatives are assigned to the contract for Repair and maintainence. 2 Operatives are assigned to help integrate the requirements of the airframes into the national doctrine and training programs. 10 Operatives are assigned as trainers with expertise in specific airframes. 2 Operatives are assigned to the establishing and running of education programs for the nation's air force with a focus on the necessary skillsa nd knowledge for repair and maintenance.

This brings up the total number of contractors to 747. At a rate of $4,000 a month, that brings the current total to $2.988million standard NS dollars a month, for a total of $17.928 million standard NS dollars. All standard bonuses and fees for combat and death apply. A 20% bonus upon completion of the contract of the total amount spent by the end of the end-date calender month has been suggested. As an example, if the contract lasts only 6 months, the grand total spent would be $21,513,600 standard NS dollars. In the creation of this proposal we attempted to keep in mind the budgetary concerns of the Federated Republic. We hope this proposal satisfies you.

Regards,
Stan Mar'si, Head of Contracts and Standards

Their activities lasted from the birth of the Palmyrian nation-state, up until their British colonial period. When Palmyrion gained independence, many of these mangangayaw crews - which had performed attacks on British forces in Palmyrion - swore fealty to the Palmyrian nation-state and formed the building blocks of the Marine Corps, while others started privateer duties with a sworn promise not to attack Palmyrian, Marshite, or Romandean shipping (a promise that has expanded to include Palmyrion's new allies, notably signatories and member-states of the RMU, CAPINTERN, NMAA, and the Amistad Declaration). These privateer crews were banned by the Stalinist regime, but their legitimacy was quickly restored, and nowadays these crews are now PMCs specialising mainly in amphibious operations and maritime security. The Brigada Mangangayaw is one such mangangayaw company, and enlisting as a sub-crew in Covenant Security Concerns will present a watershed moment for the company.

Topic: Vehicle Offer

To Whom it May Concern:

We thank you for this information and this offer and will keep it in our records. However, at this time we do not have a desire to purchase vehicles of a sub-military standard for use in our various organizations and outfits. If we were open to the purchase and operation of such vehicles, we would be likely to look into your offers, but they would still compete with similar offerings from manufacturers and states we are more familiar with. Nonetheless, we wish you wonderful business and glad tidings.

Regards,
Curior Lafala, Communication Official

To: VIAD Official Headquarters in [WE SEE YOU]
From: Covenant Security Concerns
Topic: Needs Assessment

Contractee,

There are two major elements in play while discussing the fulfillment of your contract. The first is the nature of the training desired. Since much of it is doctrinal and organizational and less field-work and individual skills based, we understand this as a desire to overhaul national military doctrine and organization. The second is the scope of the training requested. Since it is wide ranging we have pulled from avariety of contractors and outfits within CSC to give you the necessary skills requested. Third, the desire to keep the cost low enough to satisfy you. What follows is the proposal:

210 Operatives assigned to the contracts for Urban warfare tactics, Counterinsurgency operations, and Counterterrorism. This will include 12 Operatives assigned as high-level doctrinal specialists in these fields to help formulate a national response to these concerns, 80 Operatives assigned to the dissemination and training of officers and command staff in these matters per your formulated national response, and 108 Operatives to be used as a Wargame/Red Cell unit for the testing of these tactics, counter-insurgency ethos, and counterterrorist response implementations. All 210 are experts in their field and highly experienced and should yield you tremendous results.

65 Operatives assigned to the contract for "Military-Emergency responses to national disasters and emerging situations". 5 Operatives are assigned as high-level coordination experts and emergency preparedness experts, and 60 Operatives are assigned as training liasons between command structures relevant to the disasters and emerging situations. The goal is to craft the appropriate national response to a variety of possible emergencies and situations and training the appropriate authorities and military forces with the right capabilities on the proper response.

35 Operatives are assigned to the contract for conflict resolution. 5 are assigned at a high-level to help foster an environment capable of creating working solutions to conflicts that currently rage. 30 Operatives are assigned to the tactical training of officers on the best methods of attempting to end a conflict, where strategically acceptable and tactically advantageous or otherwise promoted by the formulated national strategy.

160 Operatives are assigned to the contract for Cohesion between intelligence and tactical operations. 20 Operatives are assigned as high-level tactical intelligence experts and should provide you with the top-layer insight needed to formulate a national system of superior tactical intelligence. 70 Operatives are assigned to the relevant units and agencies to help foster cohesion and same-use thought and knowledge between them, up to and including the formation of any new branches required to foster this. 70 Operatives are assigned as Field Tactical Intelligence and can be used in both a tactical training and advisory capacity as well as field use when necessary.

45 Operatives are selected for the contract for Military Doctrine. 15 Operatives are assigned to aid your military high command or relevant authority in the development of a superior national military doctrine that will fit your national capabilities and ambitions. 30 Operatives are assigned to oversee the development, disimbursement, and high-level educating of this doctrine as it applies in relevant officer academies or other spaces of military learning.

60 Operatives are assigned to the contract for rapid responses to disasters. All are used in a training capacity of medical units in preparation for deployment to disaster zones. High-level strategy of this category is considered to be closely tied to the contract for "Military-Emergency responses to national disasters and emerging situations".

80 Operatives are assigned to the contract for medic training. 10 Operatives are assigned to help establish a national program aimed at the development of a superior battlefield medic. 70 Operatives are assigned to direct-training of available medical technicians, as well as field work if required.

55 Operatives are assigned to the contract for Field hospital logistics. 5 Operatives are assigned to high-level discussions as to the makeup, deployment, running, staffing, training, and supply of a field hospital. 50 Operatives, divided into teams per field hospital per the national strategy, will help implement the decisions made in regards to field hospitals in league with officers and other necessary authorities.

14 Operatives are assigned to the Operational skills contract. 2 Operatives are assigned to help formulate the nation's air force doctrine and areas of strategic and tactical concern. 10 Operatives are assigned to flight testing and training of pilots for the stated airframes. 2 Operatives are assigned to the establishing and running of education programs for the nation's air force witha focus on operational skills.

9 Operatives are assigned to the contract for Technical skills. 2 Operatives are assigned to help integrate knowledge of the nation's air force's technical aspects and capabiities into teh wider military network and seek out ways to improve them. 5 Operatives are assigned to the training of pilots and technicians of the technical skills required for each specific airframe. 2 Operatives are assigned to the establishing and running of education programs for the nation's air force with a focus on technical skills.

14 Operatives are assigned to the contract for Repair and maintainence. 2 Operatives are assigned to help integrate the requirements of the airframes into the national doctrine and training programs. 10 Operatives are assigned as trainers with expertise in specific airframes. 2 Operatives are assigned to the establishing and running of education programs for the nation's air force with a focus on the necessary skillsa nd knowledge for repair and maintenance.

This brings up the total number of contractors to 747. At a rate of $4,000 a month, that brings the current total to $2.988million standard NS dollars a month, for a total of $17.928 million standard NS dollars. All standard bonuses and fees for combat and death apply. A 20% bonus upon completion of the contract of the total amount spent by the end of the end-date calender month has been suggested. As an example, if the contract lasts only 6 months, the grand total spent would be $21,513,600 standard NS dollars. In the creation of this proposal we attempted to keep in mind the budgetary concerns of the Federated Republic. We hope this proposal satisfies you.

Regards,
Stan Mar'si, Head of Contracts and Standards

Location: VIAD Headquarters at REDACTED

Scene: Two VIAD officers are standing at a table reviewing a printed form.


Boris Tomislav, Senior Analyst at the REDACTED: "So uh... Kamran, this seems pretty uhm... comprehensive to you right?"

Kamran Augustino, REDACTED at the REDACTED: "Yep, that's pretty... wow. Do we even bother negotiating?"

Boris Tomislav motions toward another sheet lying adjacent to the CSC proposed contract. He looks at Kamran: "Well, the Kommisar did say to try and negotiate but this seems pretty airtight. Where the hell is Kasamir?"

Kamran Augustino: "I don't know. I think Command forgot that neither of us are economists... or particularly good with numbers in general."

Boris Tomislav laughs at this. He throws a stamp into the air and catches it. "Maybe we can negotiate the bonus later down the line, but this is just too much for someone like me to handle and I'm not getting paid enough to deal with the minute details."

Kamran Augustino gives a raised eyebrow.

Boris Tomislav: "Look I know this is a good gig, but I'd rather do something else. Those fucks at the OSIS get the real funding, while we're here pushing papers and increasing the bureaucratic nightmare that is this country-"

A door opens and closes.

Kamran Augustino looks concerned. "Just sign the paper before we both get in trouble. They've mic'd everything in here. How many times do I have to remind you?"

Boris Tomislav: "You don't have to remind me." He gives a sarcastic grin. "Two mates disappeared last week."

Hello everyone!
How are things with education system in your states?
Do you treat education as an investment into your society and economic growth?
We in Pumanta believe the education plays a great role in developing country in every field. Now with an increasing number of people in rural areas in many developing countries, online education could be used to reach the last group of citizens.
