Septus Autopsy Yields Shocking Results

Although there has been no official report, I have heard from trustworthy sources that an autopsy was performed on the recently-deceased Emperor, and the results were pretty shocking.  It appears that Septus has been kept alive for some time with the aid of illegal Prosthetics and other dangerous drugs.  Some have suggested that, if this is true, then Septus technically lost his legitimacy to rule when his natural organs (allegedly) began being replaced.

DSS Data Raises Questions

An individual going by the name R. Cain has been asking questions about DSS and has put some interesting (but not conclusive) data together.  What he has found is that most of the DSS that have been recovered and deciphered are not pre-collapse artifacts.  In fact, only 35% of them (at most) are pre-collapse.  Given that fact, he goes on to question whether other artifacts may also be of more recent origin … which would then open of a whole new set of questions.

I had hoped to get Jalil Aq’tamm’s opinions on this, but he has not responded to my questions.
