Cryer has spent the past few years in the Sigmas developing an artificial cardamine that will help break the outcast grip on sirius. But this entire subplot seems dead.
We need to introduce synthetic cardamine.
It will give civilians a lucrative item to trade
It will force the outcasts to intercept synthetic cardamine smugglers
It will totally change the Outcast RP dynamic
Some outcast members could "defect" if they wanted.
Hey how'd you find out our plans?! Who's the insider huh? Be sure that bastard is going to get their ass fired and a hefty lawsuit on their hands.
However, seeing as you already know a small amount, I'll expand. This product would be available only to support the recovery of cardamine addicts, and possibly for life extension or enjoyment in a commercial form at a later date.
Trouble is, in simple terms, Cardamine is genetically altering, and we haven't found a way around that, but we're trying our best. We've been studying it for a long time, whilst great leaps have been made, don't expect a mass produced safe product any time soon.
Also, Synthetic Marijuana of course has nothing to do with us, do you really think the largest pharmaceutical and humanitarian provider in the known universe would lie about this? Absurd.
This would mean slow destruction of entire outcast house. Since cardi is their main source of power and money. Well, perhaps they would survive, but they would be weaken sagnificantly. And if they would be weaken.. corsairs would eventually finish them off.
So I doubt this would happen. Anyhow in rp cryer are trying to create synth cardi, but I doubt that ever happen in our playtime.
