Good day to you all.

I am Doctor Tala Kordes and I am proud to announce the foundation of a new Gallentean based research company; Kordes Pharmaceutical. With the creation of my new company a milestone has been set in fighting drugs and drug addiction.

The company’s foundation is research into detoxification in order to help the sons and daughters of humanity free themselves from abuse. I will no longer be a passive bystander while stories of mutilated slaves are heard from the Amarr Empire and narcotics are sold to our youth. In order to fight these problems we must address the addiction and this is the goal behind the formation of Kordes Pharmaceutical.

To achieve this goal Kordes Pharmaceutical is looking for investors sharing the will and wish to fight narcotics. KOPHA will sell 750.000 shares at 100 ISK a piece, split into a minimum of 10.000 shares per shareholder. While I will not keep back breakthroughs into our prime research from the public, I expect a lot of valuable findings that can be sold within fields such as healthcare.

I would like to add that Kordes Pharmaceutical is looking to hire capsuleers specialized in research and logistics to aid the team of specialists working at our offices at in the Augnais system.

A commendable founding principle, I pray you will find some measure of success in researching and employing effective methods of detoxification.

Consider it a point of curiosity:

Those that you assist in detoxification, will your corporation be assisting with rehabilitation directly, through partnership with other established entities or not at all?

Furthermore, I might suggest contacting the owner of Destiny's Foundation, a man by the name of Anslo, whom has recently displayed an aptitude for detoxification methods and knowledge, the recent events occurring in his establishment may also provide some insight into modern neurotoxins.

At the current time the company neither have the resources, facilities nor skilled staff to help with direct rehabilitation, I would however be interested in one or more partnerships.

Hello Dr. Kordes,

Any research spent on reducing the effectiveness of Vitoc is money well spent and as such I would like to support your endeavours by purchasing 250.000 shares in your company. Please contact me directly to formalize the transaction.

A minor correction, simply because I believe you meant to portray the opposite of what you just stated.

Vitoxin is the poison. Vitoc is the reliever. I suspect it is the former that you consider worth reducing the effectiveness in.

Or we could just, y'know, give them the dang cure already.

Don't look at me like that. Of course we have a cure. You think we'd let something like that out of the lab in the first place if we didn't have that part figured out before Patient Zero? Please.

I see nothing wrong interpreting the Empress' decree to encompass this issue as well. Chemical incarceration is one thing within the Empire but I don't see what is gained by withholding the cure to those who live outside of it. It is illegal by every law, including our own, to export slaves beyond our borders. So as far as I'm concerned exporting vitoxin, even inside a human body, constitutes smuggling contraband and it is our sacred duty to put an end to it and destroy said contraband. Or, at the very least, give the local governments the means to do so themselves.

I'm pretty sure you'll then have to deal with the cure being smuggled back into the Empire.

Meh. So what if it does? It's not like we don't have different versions. Figure most of the stuff outside our borders is probably two or three generations obsolete - at least compared to the latest stuff. We can stay on top of things inside the Empire while giving away fifteen year old cures to fifteen year old strains to people outside the Empire.

Vitoc is a drug that can be used for slave fleet crews to ensure they complete required complex tasks without the need for constant slaver supervision and possible physical punishment for insubordination, which is often unable to be regulated by the command crew / Capsuleer and can lead to unnecessary abuse and/or crewmember death.

Right out of my old classroom notes, unless there was a beurocratic copyright dispute recently I'm unaware of..

"I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you - so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.  And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree, so the wrong-doer cannot do wrong without the hidden will of you all."

Mr. Khaden is correct.

'Vitoxin' is a word of minmatar origin and actually refers to a number of different substances. These substances, when injected into a person, will kill them unless they are frequently provided with an antidote. 'Vitoc' was one such antidote. When injected, it provided short term relief and a sense of euphoria. The use of any toxin with any short term antidote is called a 'Vitoc method' no matter what substances are involved.

Odd, but possible my teacher at the time didn't bother to do much but drone and could very well have been speaking of the drug and antidote as a package - though I'll be honest, if you have a reference for this information Id appreciate it. The traditional teaching of the time was not exactly stimulating to the brain. I'll be honest, I was surprised I was awake to take notes at the time.

Saisa.

Vitoxin is one of the more humane methods Holders use. If you succeed in synthesizing Insorum only for it to be smuggled into the Empire, then you may prompt Holders to use stricter methods.

Besides that detail this is a good-meaning initiative.

How many shares remain open? I would like to match Elisa Coreli's investment with the purchase of 250.000 shares. I'm most readily reached by Neocom mail.

Thank you! That looks a bit like something that used to be buried in a school locker somewhere. I've never had need of the drug, so never needed to look into it any more deeply than what was allowed to be carried in a cargo hull out of a deepspace location.

((Reading that made the biologist in me start screaming heresy))

Greetings Doctor Kordes. I am glad to see your endeavor and look forward to seeing it prosper. As such, I would like to purchase a full set of shares available to me (10.000 at 100 ISK) and have the million ISK required for this on hand. I would also offer you a deal.

I will, if you allow it, purchase any share requested by the likes of the Serpantis-scum below:

...for 101 ISK a piece or simply the base required price. If this is unacceptable I would implore you to sell your shares to other, more reputable parties.

EDIT: 22.04.115 Offer retracted.

Please keep in mind that any shares sold to these... people... will not help you in your cause, and that if you allow their kind a controlling stake in your company you can kiss any of your ideals or goals goodbye. The Serpentis drug syndicate, as you no-doubt know, mass-produce and smuggle into our nation the vast majority of the drugs you express a desire to combat and any claim to the contrary from them or offer of support is a bare-faced lie. I would also warn you to stay clear of any affiliate of the following: Angel Cartel, Guristas Pirates, Blood Raider Covenant, The Seven and Sansha's Nation.

In any case, I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors and hope you meet with great success.

Yes, actually I do. The "Vitoc Method" as it is now called was meant to be a system of control in the Empire, a permanent cure was not something we would have invested a significant amount of time into. In fact, historical documentation would make it quite clear that the Empire focuses on maintaining simply one step ahead of each mutation of the injected poison so that the temporary relief continues to work and the system continues to be effective.

A permanent cure was researched and developed by Ishukone, but is unfortunately quite rare.

A far better and more permanent solution is to simply cease its use altogether.

I'm afraid I must disagree with this statement. There is nothing humane about the use of the Vitoc method, at all.

Justifying its continued use with "it's the lesser of evils" is a slippery slope that leads to many more dangerous justifications.

I agree. The psychological effect of the Vitoc method is not explored at length.

Oi. Not trying to justify any method of control at all.

What I know is that in my brush-ins with this topic, there are a lot of... less 'moderate' Amarr who are quick to threaten escalating the harshness of their methods if their Vitoxin is taken away.

Now I'm gonna take my hands off it. Just sharing an observation, not meaning to say the Vitoc method should continue to be used or shouldn't.
