SOCT DECLINES TO COMMENT ON CONSTRUCTION PLATFORM TETHERED CLOSE TO RP4 INSTALLATION

Alton Haveri wrote:
POSTOUVIN - The Scope Galactic News Network has reached out to the Society of Conscious thought in the last hour, after a flotilla of construction vessels began to arrive in close proximity to the stricken Astral Mining RP4 Hemorphite processing installation.

The vessels, which all carry SoCT markings and identification transponders, appear to have commenced the deployment of an Upwell Consortium designed construction scaffold, with numerous jump freighter class vessels arriving to deliver materials and personnel to the site which is within visual distance of the Kyonoke contaminated facility.

Both the Society of Conscious thought and the press office for the Upwell Consortium, as well as the Federal administration, who would need to approve any construction project in their sovereign territory, have declined to comment on this new development, or what the intention of the construction project may be.

Grim as it may be, this is very much a possibility.

Was interesting indeed to see their transponders show up in system before I had to jumpclone to a different location.

And unfortunately, I am in a certain level of agreement with Mr Lanate on this. It does seem like the beginnings of a sarcophagus.

Why build a sarcophagus? Why not simply tow or pilot the facility into the sun.

If you tow it into the sun, you can't study it.

We're only in this mess because the original station and its associated asteroids weren't de-orbited into Taisy. If decisive action had been taken then, Kyonoke would've been eradicated then and there.

Now there have been multiple intrusions into the original Pit and nobody can say who has specimens. Fantastic.

Extract any and all access logs from the infected structures, tow them out of orbit.

Are we even sure that Kyonoke is only found in Taisy? It could be abundant around the cluster.

It could be, but that's not a good reason to keep a publicly known source of it just sitting there in space when we have a huge incinerator just a few AU away.

Soo, instead of studying this individual strain in the hopes of finding a cure, we should just get rid of it because "Eh, if it pops up again, it's someone else's problem"?

Eradication of a pathogen in the wild is the common end-game of public health campaigns.

In this case, we have a known infectious agent that was desired by a number of non-state actors for purposes of terror strikes. While unfortunate, it was only a matter of time until someone breached the security cordon.

Is leaving an incurable bioweapon open for the taking by any organised, serious militant group a better idea? Just in case at some astronomical odds another source of this utterly unique pathogen is found inside another random asteroid one day? It's not as if people started cracking rocks to look for it once it was discovered, all attention turned to the known, existing source.

If it had been destroyed, in all probability nothing of its like would ever have surfaced again, and in YC119 millions of innocents would not be dying needlessly.

The State failed many times to solve this problem and they did so out of greed.

Now their people pay for it, and people across New Eden.

How is failure to find a cure to the most complex disease there is can be called greed?

If they had simply thrown it all into the star to begin with there would be nothing to cure. Instead they researched a powerful bioweapon for decades and still found no cure. That is the greed.

We can hope the city that their hubris will wipe off the map will be the catalyst to actually find that cure. In the end they are trying to extinguishing a fire they begin.

Except if they had thrown it into the star and then the bioweapon had popped up somewhere else, you would now be abusing them of arrogance in assuming they had eradicated it.

I am no fan of the state, though it is in a much better place now than compared to a few years ago at least, but really...... let's stop lambasting them for actually being sensible here. Focus on the important issues, like who was bribed to look the other way so far that they didn't even notice an incursion into the pit.

As if dragging a plague-riddled crumbling asteroid colony to the sun through the whole system is somehow safer.
