Press Release: Archbishop Arrives at Tsunenaga Orbital - Applauds Destruction of Virocide
28 Aug 2024Antraeon
Millions of people are waking up in a state of shock this morning as the Toxandji system finds itself occupied by The Ken'Tarii Mandate. Official spokesperson of The Mandate, Archbishop Teegan Perry, attended a brief ceremony on-board Tsunenaga Orbital in which he personally set fire to a large shipment of Toxandji Virocide. With the conquest of the system by Mandate forces completed, production of the rare good and it's availability on the galactic market has been halted entirely."I want to make it clear that this is an illegal substance," stated Teegan Perry when asked his reason for carrying out the impromptu ceremonial burning of virocide. "Our people are familiar with the practice of genetic engineering, and the moral implications that come with it. Such questions are sometimes better left unanswered; Just because scientists can adapt bioengineering in whatever way they'd like, does not mean that they should."
In the absence of Toxandji Virocide, the Mandate will provide alternative methods to pest and disease control for hydroponic farms and agricultural settlements. One such method is the cross-breeding and grafting of one plant species with or to another that exhibits far greater level of hardiness than it would ungrafted. Ken'Tarii scientists strongly support these two practices as methods of increasing the life expectancy and yield of tentative plant-species that would otherwise struggle if left completely on their own to develop to adulthood.
