Heruvian Directive 511: Turret Initiative

[DECLASSIFIED]

*Recording Starts*

[Presenter] The Heruvian turret program is a self-defense initiative aimed at bolstering the defensive capabilities of The Heruvian Federation and it's territories. Initial projected funding requires only 2,567 Heruvian Standard credits per unit, with minimal variations in price depending on the make and model of turret.

[Council member 1] And why shall this be considered a necessary expense?

[Council member 2] Yes, and what about maintenance costs?

[Council member 3] What are the material specifications of each defense unit? How long is their service life and how to they stand in simulations?

[Presenter] *Shuffling of papers can be heard* Uhhh, to [CLASSIFIED], This system is a necessary defense, as although the speed and mobility of the Heruvian Military is unmatched, it would be economically unwarranted to mobilize as little as a single battalion to combat local hostilities or small invasion forces. To [CLASSIFIED], Maintenance costs scale logarithmically, as the currently under development [REDACTED] will adapt to its given setting, eventually evolving itself to be hardened against its known natural and unnatural environment. *More shuffling of papers can be heard* As for the material specifications, the standard [REDACTED] will be used, and will be assigned a generic [REDACTED] texture, so each defense unit will appear indistinct from any other defense unit. Is that all of the questions for this session?

[Council member 2] How will these defense units be monitored?

[Presenter] *Presenter pulls out a device and opens a window to be displayed to the Council* Every unit will have their exact coordinates, any specific notes, and last known status recorded and accessible only by [REDACTED] and the present company. Listed under the transcript to this hearing will be a complete list of all defense units: planned, under construction, completed, or decommissioned.

[Council member 1] Thank you for this presentation. Your proposal will be considered but as with all, there is-

[Council member 1] It seems we have some unwelcome visitors coming our way, all awaiting proposals in this hearing will-

*A loud boom can be heard outside of the building, windows shatter*

[Unidentified] *In a hushed voice* Hurry up and get your ass out of here, the [REDACTED] are here.
