PROJECT AMS-FED - SUMMARY
[RG] Cost-effectiveness, my fellow directors, cost-effectiveness. What if while standing firm as a shining example of compliance enhancement, the unit could also be conducting simultaneous loyalty assessments, calculating possible branded product marketing opportunities relevant to the stakeholder subject to enforcement, and conducting simultaneous promotional activities. Four droids for the price of one!
PROJECT AMS-FED - PROGRESS
[OQ] My internal audit continues. While some progress has been made, I remain concerned about long-term costs being under-estimated. The productivity gains from simultaneous tasking reported in such glowing terms by the project director rely almost solely on the iterative heuristic self-progression. By it’s nature this is costly to replicate, and negates the value of routine memory wipes as a risk-mitigation tool.

PROJECT AMS-FED - TERMINATION
[RG] I disagree. The unit performs in a clearly superior fashion, and the reformated HK24-type heuristic processor has cut the development cost and extended the life of…
[DL] A product we discontinued years ago, that notably failed in selling itself even during a maximum-opportunity conflict, director. Not to mention the quite frankly concerning rampancy potential in my own simulations, ones that run without your ridculous assumptions.
[RG] These matters are quite easily dealed with by routine maintenance. Something that even your own simulated trainees should be capable of. All they have to do is read the drakking manual. I’ve already conceded a dual restraining-bolt arrangement. Dual! No matter how that skewed the cost projections for support beyond all allowed projections.
[OQ] A requirement that Legal put out, not myself, I wish to make clear.
[RG] And again I disagree with that requirement. Whilst the earlier chassis ran into certain Republic-based restrictions, the entire project intent is austere environments. Austere, Outer Rim, liberal enforcement. Do you really think these colonial sheriffs have the forensic…
[OQ] Internal affairs, not External, director. We’re not worried about some one-planet government, or even expendible Czerka assets if it comes to it. Outer Rim projects small enough to benefit from your unit, if it works, are high-payoff situations we need to actually payoff if any of us are going to make our quarterly bonuses next year.
[RG] What about the unit itself? You just want to scrap a million credit prototype?
[DL] Far from it, director. Slap a shackling module on the central harness and send it to Requisitions.
[RG] Just like that? Who’d be so daft to take a shackled unit, it’ll drag down efficiency quotients and error rates in all these secondary…
[DL] The decision is MADE. We’ll ship it to the next Sector that’s in enough trouble that they’re not feeling picky.
[OQ] Just so long as it isn’t one of mine.
