Index post update; Efu situation confirmed. It appears that the station's indeed suffering an outbreak of Kyonoke, and that the Society is taking direct involvement. Indeed, Elder Mentor Matshi Raish himself is taking the laudable step of overseeing the operation from the station itself.

They seem to be confident enough to contain it within the station and even stage their crisis center on board of it. Call me a fanboy now, but I like Matshi Raish's personal approach to this, it's inspiring.

That's Postouvin and Oijanen. I wonder at the status of Muttokon and Efu.
It's Kyonoke there as well
I suspect something drastic will have to be done about the station since it will be a matter of time before it is considered a hazard.

RSS Conference has confirmed Kyonoke on Muttokon Freedom Extension platform.
Dreadful, but anticipated. Based on the specific fatality rate for the ten-day period leading up to the SoCT presser, I would not be surprised if the number of dead now in high orbit above Muttokon exceeded 150000.

An update, pilots. The circumstances surrounding this are unknown. However, this certainly explains the early presence of Home Guard troops in Myrskaa.

Another update, pilots. I apologize for the delay in posting this, as I've been away on consultations in Isseras.
We should soon know if the quarantines were enacted in time, given known incubation times.
The Kyonoke Response Group continues to advise delays on transit, preparation of a supply stockpile, and administrative preparations for new or expanded quarantine zones until such time as the crisis is past.
In the meantime, lack of information on the underlying criminal activity may result in hasty conclusions. We counsel patience.

I'm not entirely convinced this is a terror attack. It could easily be that one corporation or group within the State or Federation or Republic went in, took a sample and it got away from them. The sample they took was transported to the Republic where it caused the elevator outbreak. The subsequent outbreaks were caused by crew who had reshipped before the quarantine went into effect. A terrorist who was bent on causing several outbreaks would have targeted much more populated systems.
Consider these points:
1. The unprecedented involvement of the SoCT. 2. CONCORD and the SCOPE's continued attempts at distracting the general public with stories about Angel Cartel and Serpentis arrests. 3. The current incursion by Sansha forces at the EVE Gate systems and the silence of groups like the Servant Sisters of Eve. 4. No known terrorist group has come forward to claim responsibility.
In any criminal investigation, one must ask, "Who profits?" Who would profit from a terror attack on these backwater systems? Again and again, we can only speculate because facts are not easily wrested from the mouths of CONCORD.

We will have to agree to disagree, Mr. Mokk. Given the inherent difficulty in controlling bioweapons, they make very little sense as a research target. What profit could be had?
That said, on to updates.
In the first place, a new Discourse has been released on recent developments.
In the second place, there was a frankly silly but related farce at a CEP meeting. Thearticle is linked.
In brief, on the second point, I would stress the aforementioned point on the difficulty of controlling bioweapons. If the Postouvin quarantine is breached, then there is no assurance that it will respect the Gallente-Caldari border. Ensuring containment is, as such, a truly interstellar concern.
Further updates as they occur.

I'll be keeping my eyes out in that direction. I have a JClone setup in Solitude as it stands, so whenever the SoCT structure is finished and access granted to capsuleers, I can be onsite shortly there afterward if I'm not already in the area dealing with UNF containment resources.
You want to know where I'm from huh? Well, it's a long way, and several Spacial Rifts removed, from this place.

Funny how this was a topic on the IGS Chat last night.
I find Elder Mentor Matshi Raish's comments to be... interesting
After all he is asking the Empires that have been afflicted to come together with the brightest minds to solve the issue something to my knowledge that has never happened
If this is a real Inquest, would not CONCORD be the authority to oversee such an unprecedented issue? Also are we looking at a criminal or medical situation?
There are many questions with this latest development.

CONCORD has not demonstrated much leadership on these sorts of things since its failed Operation Specter in YC115.
To be frank, that this effort is being undertaken by the Society, instead, gives me hope for a positive outcome.

Not sure this is news. Evidently Gallente civilians are concerned about the loss of rights of the civilians inside the Myrskaa quarantine zone.
Needless to say, quarantine shouldn't be breached because someone light years away is concerned about a single person. A quarantine breach could kill millions or billions.

This is most troubling. It's understandable they'd be concerned over the rights of their people, just as most everyone elsewhere is concerned about those being held in quarantine across New Eden. But we all must look at the bigger picture here. As Priano-haani said, a quarantine breach would only make things worse.
I pray deeply that this does not escalate. If these protests turn violent and action has to be taken against them, it will only further fuel the fires that are beginning to be fed when it comes to "Us versus Them". Not only this, but if the nano-dome is breached, then may God have mercy on the entire planet.
We all must try to look at this rationally. Fighting against each other will help no one but whomever set this all up. They are likely watching this all with a smile on their face.

The Gallente Humanist Association has at least one Alpha capsuleer in their ranks, which means that at least one of these protesting parties has the capability to get off-world and go do something really stupid in a quarantine zone. That means the worst possibility is well within their reach: sending a whole bunch of knuckleheads in bright t-shirts and holo-placards storming the nano-dome generators in an ill-advised attempt to free the quarantined citizens.
Let's hope they do not have the guts to do such a thing and stick to protesting outside the government buildings and being very annoying.

There may be a way to safely study the Kyonoke agent inside the quarantine zone, and to begin cleanup measures.
I am unsure about whether infected persons can be treated by this method though.

One concern of theirs, the protestors that is, seems valid. It shouldn't be even remotely difficult to organize one-way unmanned deliveries of supplies and such into the quarantined areas. If there are still survivors in there, at any rate. So if "supplies are running low, with no further shipments of resources being permitted to pass through the cordon for more than a week" is the case, you have to wonder what's going on.
The Megas are many things, but they're not that incompetent nor lacking in the resources needed to do these things.
Odd to say the least. |

As much as I hate to say it, the stopping of supplies may mean that those within the city are believed to be lost. It would be inefficient to deliver supplies when the people are either dead or on their deathbed. I don't mean to say that without heart. But it's the only reason I can think that they'd stop.

It is a possibility, but without confirmation of this eventuality the concerns raised remain valid. When they do not release this sort of information, it is only to be expected that there will be... reactions.

Gallente citizens should not expect any preferential treatment, everyone is being treated the same.
I dont mean to give any offence or to lay it on pretty thick, but i dont think any Gallente or citizens of any nation will be coming out of Myrskaa alive. Risk of making a mistake , by allowing someone out, that turns out to be infected by the pathogen , is to great a risk for the State to permit. Unless a cure is found , i think all inside Myrskaa will die.
Im sure, the State intelligence services are keeping close eye on the political climate within the Federation. Just in case , pressure from protest groups becomes to great and their government feels it needs to take action. |

While I can understand the concerns of my fellow citizens, my only response would be "What about the rights of the expatriate Gallenteans who have NOT been infected yet?".
Does something need to be done? Yes. Are the powers that be doing it? Probably, although we cannot currently see it (at least, not in any detail beyond the press releases). Should a bunch of protesters get involved? Only if they wish to get themselves and bunch of other innocents killed to assuage their need for action.
I feel bad for those who have lost, or are at least in the process of very probably losing their loved ones. But that doesn't make it right for them to endanger those who have avoided this catastrophe. It's harsh, but unless the SoCT can come up with something, it's what we have to live with, whether we like it or not.
So while the protesters are rightfully complaining about rights, the situation is this - the rights of the people dead or dying in that contamination zone end at the point of the rights of those who have not yet been infected to, y'know, not be infected. Just like the right of someone swinging their arms around ends at the point where another persons right not to get hit in the nose begins.
We should not be opening the borders of those zones. Instead, research and possible testing and deployment of cures within those zones is what is needed, if possible. These are the politics and rights of what is necessary to do the most good for the most people, both infected and non-infected.

Once again, people here misunderstand the nature of liberty and democracy.
I am the first to admit that the named organisations are prone to going off the deep end prematurely, but they are not fundamentally protesting that infected persons should be released from quarantine. They are raising the legitimate concern that the Caldari State - known for its brutal dismissal of individual rights - is deliberately starving the trapped millions to save a little money. They may be lost, but deserve a decent fate. It would be more humane to eradicate the zone, but of course that might mean the State which has already landed us all in this terror through seeking an advantage without due care and attention, might have to forego yet more illegal experimentation.
If those quarantined are already dead, say so. If they're not, feed them for Pity's sake.
Humanity has won its battle. Liberty now has a country.
