That was what happened to the Science and Technology Alliance recently. To sum it all up, the authorities no longer wanted to be in charge of the alliance, so they planned to elect a leader to manage it. They had stumbled upon the Scepter of Athena project by chance. As a result, they came up with the idea that whichever company completed the research, their chairman would become the alliance's leader.
Naturally... It sounded like it was a good deal, but it was actually a big hoax.
“First, you have to finish the project research, which could cost up to a hundred million dollars,” Diana stated dryly. "Not all companies could fund such a high-priced project. Now, what do you get in exchange for a hundred million dollars? Only a five-million-dollar prize and the position of alliance leader."
“Five million dollars is nothing compared to the cost of research. No one would be that stupid and complete the project for the reward. Would anyone even want to be the alliance’s leader then?"
Diana shook her head and added, "The alliance leader position is like a hot potato because you have to work for the authorities while being responsible for the people as well. There are no proper and effective means to bring in revenue. You have to feed a bunch of people that can’t even do their work properly and deal with the operations management as well."
