Clones agree revised price for worm drives

Following the disgrace of Wolkapi the Dino-Clone deal for worm drives was thrown into doubt however Ronald was willing to allow the deal to continue however at a price for the Clones. The original price for 30 worm drives plus technical support was 10 billion zarks however this was in addition to some offsets from other orders which Ronald says can no longer be included. With a revised (and shorter) payment schedule the price is now just short of 12 billion zarks.

However the Clones are still willing to pay it. Oojok will travel to Dino-Land next month to sign the deal and technical integration of Dino worm drive technology will begin almost immediately with the first delivery of W1A worm drives in 2117 ready for a major rebuild of the Soulaki battle cruiser.
