I founded Wisp Innovations a year ago and only in this year we managed to grow like no other company ever has. Soon, maybe, we might be a sizable competition even to Cryer.
However, the direction Cryer has taken I find incorrect. I've always thought of Stabiline as a temporary solution to an ongoing problem - its treatment has absolutely no benefits to the users of Cardamine except the fact that it's - mostly - legal. Because, let me ask you, if you were a drug addict and had a choice between continuing to live with your addiction or go on detox for the rest of your life - what would you choose?
They advertise Stabiline and make it out to be better than it is, creating a false narrative that it's some kind of reachable paradise, but it's not. And everyone who'd ever had contact with it should know that.
We need something better. We need something that would give the Cardamine addicts an alternative, something that they can take instead of Cardamine, they can find less addictive and that has more benefit for them. If we could reach that - then Stabiline would no longer be needed, but neither would Cardamine. Creating virtually a panaceum to all universe's problems will be difficult, I don't doubt that, but I believe we can make it happen.
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we should leave the production of Stabiline to Cryer, ourselves focusing on creating something that could replace it. Something that will be, simply, better.
Thank you very much.

Foster Virus was probably one of the most disastrous epidemic outbreaks in the history of Bretonia. It was a proof how a group of particularly ill-minded people are capable of horribly ending lives of thousands.
What at first seemed like a particularly dire case of hemorrhagic fever, soon turned into a panic on almost a global scale. A group of twisted Gaian terrorists, who later were found killed by their own creation, developed a virus that was later released in a small community on Planet Cambridge. Before long, the virus spread to a nearby metropolis of Foster. The terrorists, naming themselves Emendati, released a propaganda video telling inhabitants of Cambridge and the citizens of Bretonia to find "salvation" in Cardamine, as supposedly it would prevent the infection - which was later proven to be not true.
Thanks to quick intervention from the Bretonia Armed Forces supported by Cryer-funded medical teams from Cambridge Research Institute, the quarantine was spread over the city of Foster, its denizens provided with vaccines and those already infected given appropriate medical care. However in spite of that, the Foster Virus is estimated to have killed over seventy thousand people.

Evolution, additive /ˈædɪtɪv ˌiːvəˈluːʃən/
1. n. (biology) A general trend toward a type of evolution where earlier acquisitions are kept, and new ones added to them.
G-mod /ʤiː-mɒd/
1. n. (biology) Short for genetically modified, refers to a human whose genes have been directly altered before or after birth. The scope of those alterations is often unspecified, as they may range from the elimination of genetic illnesses as a result of gene therapy to concepts of transhumanism.
Natural /ˈnæʧrəl/
1. a. That exists and evolved within the confines of an ecosystem. (...)
12. n. (biology) An organism that has not been artifically altered in any form.
Transhuman /trænzhjuːmən/
1. n. (science) An entity that resembles a human in most respects, but who has abilities or traits beyond those of standard humans. Those traits may include improved intelligence, strength or lifespan.
Upload /ʌpˈləʊd/
1. v. To transfer data from a host system to a server system in a network.
2. n. Such a transfer.
3. n. (science) A human whose consciousness has been uploaded onto a computer system.
It's difficult to argue that most House's economy has been dominated by several megacorporations. They seek out profits outside their general zone of operations, often competing only against companies outside of their House of origin. And while to an unexperienced eye it may seem as though they've achieved unparalleled monopoly on their home field, this is only partially true.
What people generally perceive as single autonomous corporate bodies are in fact conglomerates often comprised of smaller subsidiaries, divisions, daughter companies or other - definitions may vary depending where you are, but the differences are mostly insignificant. Managing a large corporation without some sort of divisioning is simply impractical.
This approach has various advantages and disadvantages. Mainly, it eliminates unfair competition, making sure all the subsidiaries compete among each other on a relatively level playing field. Any directly harmful practices, such as privateering or piracy, can be instantaneously eliminated by the governing body - board of executives or other. This ensures healthy competition that is rarely seen on a megacorp-to-megacorp level. There, competitors often resort to unfair or unlawful practices.

PROJECT SUMMARY
After months of experiments on Atka we have determined that the extrauterine method of regrowing stem cells we used - an organism grown in a CGA acid environment - is not possible in zero-gravity. The first trials were absolutely unsuccessful - the stem cell proliferation produced deformed and distorted fragments of tissues that were completely unusable by the organism. In fact, there was little "organism" to speak of, just a clumped stain of flesh and bones that all looked like molten wax. Further attempts at great expense succeeded in creating a relatively shapely body, but the brain cells are impossible to grow in current technology.
Perhaps with a changed approach to the problem this issue could be fixed, however I firmly believe that the biggest issue at hand is the lack of actual gravity - any artificial, magnetic solutions just do not fulfil the needs. As such, this project is discontinued until further notice.
