(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.

(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.

(Etruscera, Martius) Consul Caelina Arsann today released the following statement:
Great Pillars Station has recently received a number of Prosthetics deliveries. While we are unimpressed with the irrelevant legalities of the situation, we are nonetheless displeased. Notably the Empress. To quote her own words: “If I catch the imbecile who thinks this is even a little bit funny, they will NOT be turned over to TRI . . . I’ll personally feed them piece by piece to the ekels!”
We recommend delivering them elsewhere.
TRI-Security had no immediate comment.
