Leak Reveals Government Conspiracy, Atrocity

Posted by samzenpus on from the half-of-writing-history-is-hiding-the-truth dept.

First time accepted submitter Sigmon writes An unauthorized wave recently broadcast on the Cortex has revealed not only the existence of a previously unknown settlement on a far away border world called Miranda but also that the entire population of settlers was inadvertently wiped out by a top-secret Alliance program. Miranda was purportedly used as a testing ground for G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate, or simply "Pax" — a chemical agent designed to calm the population and weed out aggression. It seems the test did not go as planned. Also, reporters have been dispatched to the location of a battle not far from Miranda's location where the Alliance fleet has apparently suffered significant losses. It is unknown if the two events are related at this time. When contacted for comment on these events, government officials were very tight-lipped, however one official responded with a confusing statement about "Damming a river."

    Maybe next year they should try changing the mod capabilities. To quote (and at the risk of getting flamed into the last decade):

    "-1 WhatEVER!"

    There is no evidence that Pax is at all harmful to humans, you could drink a glass of it and be fine. Rumors of a space battle are preposterous. The Alliance Fleet was doing routine maneuvers when it was struck by an asteroid storm.
