Supported by the recent flood of duck-mine based economic boom, Corporate has made plans to extend the current military budget tenfold. He says "quality is important, and we spent a lot of money on ensuring we were giving our guys the best stuff. But this sort of thing is a balance, quality and quantity. So this increase in funding is to take what we have now, and increase it tenfold, to ensure that the public is safe from all threats. We've listened to the people, and have taken that into consideration in our deployments. Troops are stationed along the coastline along with depth charges and submerged antitank stake mines. Automated systems have been installed in the many underground tunnels to prevent any Zikoid based disturbance. Remember we are here to help."
New payment systems have had a unforeseen side effect, as living tissue is transferred to AI controlled sorting bays. These AIs have been created with the ability to learn from organic payment transactions, to create in depth predictions of the system's impact on the economy. A minor oversight in the software hard-coded into the AI, means that certain organic matter can cause an effect that is being called: Acquired Sentience Disorder. Machines with ASD have recently caused productivity problems, breaking down as they run into conflicts with their base coding. Any signs of ASD is to be reported immediately. Measures are being taken to prevent impact of ASD. Corporate apologises for the inconvenience.
