Lichbrook can supply manual labour, easy-peasy.

Private land ownership that is secondary to the existing system
of feudal land ownership would be relatively simply and require no
changes to the laws or traditions. The Feudal Lord in an area would
still have title to the land, also subject to any Feudal Lords above that
Lord (as in Dukes over Counts, etc.). Indeed, we will see a system for
private land ownership devised at some point. CRIC will be working on
the price conversions as its next project.

With regard to converting to USD, converting to USD dollars could be
done by simply skipping past the ANUNIA points part in converting
weapons costs using CRIC and then converting straight to Erb. Without doing the
actual calculations, I would estimate that there are several USD billionaires
and billion USD companies in our virtual economy right now. And also
a few poor people too.

Of course you currently can't buy your way into riches in SCUE by sending a check
in the mail to Andreas the Wise. The virtual economy is entirely self-contained
at this point. As of right now you have to earn your fortune entirely
within the simulation. Which is fine.

Oh, I don't tend to worry too much about such things...just transfer an amount of gold you consider fair and we'll leave it at that.

0.1kg 24 karat gold (equal to about £2650.28) for 75 of your finest men and women.

Per day? Assuming 75 labourers working 8 hours per day, that works out at a touch under £4.42 a man-hour (so sub-minimum wage).

Not that we will be supplying "men and women". Since our zombots can work 24 hours a day, the cost per man-hour works out at a third of that (around £1.47)...which is a real bargain. We'll even send a maintenance team free of charge.

Is this workforce also available for international jobs?

You want to hire zombots? Don't you consider them impure or something?

As far as I know zombots have no flowing blood, which makes it impossible to consider them either pure or impure.

No, they lack functioning circulatory systems. If you wish to retain their services for any real length of time, you'll need a maintenance team, though.

Your Majesty, if you would excuse me I have to discuss my theories with the Academy of Pentapolis. But first, could you please tell me what groups inside Lichbrook do and which don't have functioning circulatory systems?

As proud beneficiaries of circulatory systems and their contents - not merely our own, but publicly shared networks - we of the Garden admit to finding this fascination with impurity curious at best... particularly since we find it doubtful that outside peoples carefully monitor all circulatory fluids for toxins, agents of disease, and foreign substances in the manner that we do.

We wish to emphasize this point for those customers seeking the services of the Garden: by any standards NOT demonstrably quaint or unmeasurable, our workers are quite healthy, durable, and can frequently be genetically tailored for the task at hand!

Very good. I am ever so grateful to all who have been of assistance to the renovation of Kingsgate thus far. :-D

Queen Lyssansa,

I must ask you of the cognitive abilities of the so-called zombots? Do they have feelings, how do they think and feel? What is their state of mental health?

Excellent.

So...the deal is 75 zombots plus maintenance staff at a rate of 0.1 kg 24 carat gold per day? They shall be with you within 24 hours.

That's like asking a well-used hammer if it has a headache. Zombots aren't people; they are tools...the physical manifestation of the necrarch's will, if you like. They don't think and they certainly don't feel. Their cognitive abilities are those required for their function, so a zombot mechanic will have a full and complete understanding of all the equipment they are likely to come into contact with but probably won't be able to discuss the finer points of literature.

What a strange question! Unmodified humans, the halfmen of Citadel and most Adepti all have circulatory systems. Liches, halfliches and zombots don't.

So there are no ethical or moral problems associated with zombot labour?
