Despite your recent status as millionaires, you probably couldn't pay for the R&D, *and* the construction of more than one non-existent technology. At the very least, not if you tried to do it yourselves. So, if you're going manage that money for your personal interests, you're probably limited in what you can access.cuteasaurus said:
On the other hand, if you talked to Onieros, who seems to have some resources of his own, you might be able to get more bang for your buck, as (depending on how many and what type of other employees/cells he/she/it might have) he might be able to use existing infrastructure in order to speed the process, and feed into whatever his goals are. At the very least, you know he has several industrial allies, who are probably better connected to the manufacturing/industrial worlds than you are.
Of course, if you "invest" in Onieros, it's not really your money - it becomes something like stock, I guess, in that you could probably attempt to exert some influence over where, why, and how you're sent places. You'd be stockholders (or the counterconspiratorial equivalent) and that has to count for something. But you'd probably be able to acquire "hard to get" resources through a shadowy organization than trying to get them on your own.
