Intergalactic Summit

As long as they are not using clone soldiers that are unqualified for work that does not involve killing other clone soldiers(or baseliners who irritated them) it should be fine it's probably just a coincidence.

I wish they'd just say what the problem is. It'd keep imaginations (like mine) from running wild.

I mean, maybe it's nothing. Hopefully it's nothing. Probably it's nothing.

(Coming next week: "it's a really embarrassing, virulent STD nobody wanted to talk about at the time because a lot of high-ranking administrative staff is involved.")

But while they don't explain why they're doing such an obviously-sensible-in-certain-circumstances thing, there's a big part of my head that just keeps going, "Something's wrong, something's wrong, something's wrong," and there are some pretty obvious leading candidates for what the "something" could be.

Some explanation would just really be nice.

Interesting that both these events (shall we call them biological hazard events?) occur so close together both chronologically and spatially.

There are also some similarities in the solar systems involved. Both systems are low security space near to nulsec and devoid of any space stations. Muttokon is 2 jumps from B-VIP9 in Great Wildlands, and Oijanen is directly adjacent to BWF-ZZ in Geminate. Geminate and GWL are adjacent to each other.

Known inhabitants of GWL are Thukker Tribe. Known inhabitants of Geminate are The Society of Conscious Thought.

My guess is that this is some sort of bio-test. The scope of these events seems to me to indicate that an entity external to those effected may be responsible.

However, it does not escape my notice that the entities most closely tied to the effected areas are SoCT, Thukker Tribe, and Zainou, all of which have had some sort of involvement with Anoikis, Sleepers, and Drifters.

A small update, pilots, from the joint efforts of the Heiian Conglomerate, Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive, and Arataka Research Consortium.

In light of the expansion of the quarantine in Muttokon, we're anticipating an expansion of the quarantine zone on Oijanen II. Medical personnel are already positioned within the city, and humanitarian supplies have been positioned to relieve pressure on the existing medical infrastructure given the quarantining of a medical facility. We are stepping up supply deliveries, in anticipation of isolation.

While personnel are on hand to assist with the quarantine itself, including a regiment of marines, atmospheric and low-orbit support from I-RED, and an offer of material assistance from Heiian Conglomerate in case of a need for orbital action, no additional information is forthcoming.

Efforts to contact Ishukone leadership for additional information have, as yet, proven fruitless.

From IKAME's perspective, the foremost concern is securing information about the pathogen, or ideally samples, so that sequencing, culturing, and development of specific treatment and vaccination regimes can be achieved.

I-RED and TYRIN have focused on the humanitarian side, with support from HeiCon.

More news as it develops.

It may become necessary to 'kill it with fire' as they say.

I know that when you're a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail, but this may actually BE a nail. I trust the capsuleer organisations at work in this area, but would caution them that while they must act with compassion, that compassion should be global in perspective.

Well well, that's interesting.

This is starting to get hairy enough that we might actually be seeing the possibility for 'burn it with fire. From orbit.' options being considered.

The necessity is not good. The fact that it's being considered in time is.

"Arrests of members of the Interstellar Press?"

Troubling indeed...

Um...you might want to retract that statement...
