(Quantar Core Station) Quantar offcials have confirmed Organic Foods are back online in full production mode. The facility was shut down two weeks ago after several hundred people were sickened by food that had been itentially contaminated with a neurotoxin derived from Ekel venom.
No arrest warrants have, as yet been issued although TRI-SEC indicates that they have been unable to contact one person of interest.

(UUNN HQ) The following communication was received today from the DPDQ, the AI entity controlling Amananth:
We attempted restore of Antiflux device. Almost-repaired facility destoyed by pilot PRI-SEC-6.
This comes just a day after Hyperial announced that it had repurposed its year-old factory for production of Antiflux due to the fact that it required rare UC15s as a component — and therefore was very rarely used.
PRI-SEC-06 is a member of squad Hired, whose motto is “If you see us, someone is paying for it…” which begs the question . . . who?
It is unknown at this time whether the repaired Amanthi Custom Producer would have required UC15s, as well as whether a replacement facility can or will be constructed.
Amananth Antiflux production was originally disrupted by an explosion on 117.2.11. At that time, multiple attempts to repair it failed.

The following statement was released today from Dr. Viggio Ragne, Hyperial Special Representative for the Office of the President:
Today we have unveiled our latest project to help boost economic production across all of the systems. We have repurposed the unused AntiFlux factory, which will now be manufacturing CPUs — completing our plan to bring both CPU and RAM production to Hyperial, and increasing the economic options for everyone.
The Hyperial Antiflux factory was opened with great fanfare three years ago, but was largely unused because of the difficulty in obtaining the rare components needed for production. Economists expect profiteers to jack up prices for the already-expensive Antiflux now re-sold exclusively on pilot-owned stations

(Quantar Core Station) Four have died and several hundred more were sickened on Quantar Core — some critically — by contaminated Organic Food from the Quantar Core processing facility. The outbreak started on 124.1.9 and medical personnel quickly identified Organic Food consumption as the common
link.
“Our medical emergency staff was amazing,” said Delphia Neamru, Governor of Quantar Core. “If it was not for their quick diagnosis, there would have been many more victims. Processing was shut down and all shipments stopped within an hour of the contamination alert.”
“The contaminant was a neurotoxin derived from ekel venom,” said TRI-Security Commandant Solder Ronin, “so this was clearly an act of sabotage. Furthermore, D&L records for the period from midnight UTC on 124.1.8 and 00:40 UTC on 124.1.9 were wiped. And during low-traffic times like those, flight decks are usually empty. We plan on interviewing the following pilots who were on-duty during that general time period: Boelling, Flint, Malachite, Nel, Nari and Tork.”
Ekels are enormous predatory sea creatures native to Martius. Their venom is located in their dorsal fins. We asked the Office of Empress Iulia Atreus about Ekel venom. The reply was:
“Her Highness says that Ekels do not surrender their venom very easily . . . so this was an impressive feat of skill, determination and valor.”
Quantar Core is one of the largest exporters of Organic Foods generating approximately 40u per hour. Officials hope processing can be resumed within a week, once investigations are completed and all equipment has been sanitized.

(Octavius Outpost) Dorator Industries today announced it has acquired the patents and intellectual properties of long-defunct Annihlitec from Postern Associates.
“Annihlitech made bad-ass weapons,” said Dorator President and CEO, Malkev Dorator. “We think there’s
an opportunity to continue that tradition and, of course, to grow our business.”
According to Dorator, production has already been activated for the FeatherFire ion canon on Octavius Outpost. It will continue to be marketed using the Annihilitech brand.

In the course of distributing fine Hyperial-made Manufactured foods across the Galaxy, E.R.I. and contracted associates were able to quell many commodity leaks at various stations. In many cases this required loading what remained of the ingredients from the production line into the cargo bays of their ships. 
In Octavius Core, factory workers were being accused of embezzlement and rumors swirled about various factions smuggling off the missing produced equipment in preparation for future conflicts. There too, loading the commodities being used in the fruitless production into the cargo bays of E.R.I. vessels, stopping any loss of additional materials.
Our on-call physician Dr. Scaggwhistle has approached the board with a strange theory about how his work with Space Madness patients has caused him to suspect the disturbance was an “aftershock” of the collapse, or a sign of galactic instability that may be the precursor for another one. One of his most Prestigious Patients, pilot “GrimGriz”, demonstrates the symptom of false memories of flying a Monsoon loaded with Vantage Mortars and Dream Engines. This suggests to Dr. Scaggwhistle that the collapse has to do with various threads of the multiverse collapsing into a single Galaxy.

(UUNN HQ) TRI Corporation has been working for several hours to try to determine the cause of what they are calling “inventory leaks” at all factional stations.
“Right now we’re trying to figure out what the hell is going on,” said Yelda Mossad, TRI Director of Station Systems and Maintenance. “Systems show commodity inventory drain consistent with equipment production — but nothing of substance is being produced. We can’t start working on a solution until we can figure out the problem. Fortunately there are no parallel “equipment leaks.”
Until the “leaks” have been resolved, pilots are encouraged to not attempt to restock the primary faction stations, as that could potentially all be drained away as well.
“SDS (Depot) Stations, however, appear to be unaffected,” added Mossad, “so pilots are encouraged to move ore from Ore Depots to the SDS stations where commodities can be staged for redistribution.”

(UUNN HQ) Dorator Technologies R&D has announced that it is mothballing its DropTank manufacturing facility at Klatsches
Hold Station.
“We’re very disappointed to have to shut this facility down,” said Malkev Dorator II, Sr. Vice President of Operations. “But there’s very little demand for this thing and plenty of supply available. So the numbers don’t work for us any more.”
Dorator has been manufacturing DropTanks on Klatsches Hold since 119AT and the move to manufacturing on an unregulated station garnered lots of attention, but no others followed suit and the economic slowdown forced production cutbacks and shutdowns.
There are currently more than 1,700 DropTanks available with inventory on every station.

(Solrain Wake Station) TRI Corporation announced today that due to economic conditions it was closing down its Docking Computer factory on Wake Station.
“The inventory we have is just not moving,” said Sagrith Hubri, TRI Director of Manufacturing, Mercantile and Economics. “We still have the automated factory in Ekoos Stop and that should be more than adequate to handle demand. These things are really for our recruits — seasoned pilots should not need them. If things pick up in the future, we’ll address it as necessary.”
Hubri confirmed that all New Recruits would still be given a complimentary Docking Computer with their first ship.

(Solrain Core Station) TRI Corporation, Industrial & Business Services (TRI-IND), Sector Assets Division announced today that it plans on “mothballing” a number of gates throughout space. “This is a cost-cutting move,” said Tristan Kamihira, Director of Sector Assets for TRI-IND. “With the current number of pilots on duty these days launch fees and insurance fees have plummeted. We just can’t afford to keep all of these gates maintained for so few people.”
According to A. Trottel, a TRI Sector Assets Engineer, a careful traffic study was done and the decision to shut down all gates for sectors beginning with an “O” was actually was not arbitrary, but rather it was arrived upon scientifically. “It just worked out that way,” she added. Continue reading
