Hear me out here.
My immediate thought of reading and listening to the most recent news article concerning Rockforth Corporation's New Fertilizer is simply "What's with their delay?" Of course, Dr Genevieve Kane of the Interstellar Association for Agriculture has commented on their delay in a statement is as follows of ..."sometimes these matters take longer than expected" but this has only made me more skeptical of this product. My first immediate knee-jerk reaction is "Oh good lord, human compost." But then, thinking about it, it only led me to speculate something worse.
Potentially my other thought was what if it's something far more sinister. Why isn't Rockforth Corporation complying with the IAA (Interstellar Association for Agriculture)? What do they have to lose in sharing their product? It's been a month and sure "these things take time" but there may be just and righteous reason for their hesitance and delay. What if their compost is dead thargoids?
We all know that existing humanoids and in some cases insectoids on Earth and Earth-like planets can be utilized as compost, post-mortem, but what if their secret ingredient during this food crisis is people, or quite potentially our greatest enemy?
This is of course speculation but it doesn't negate the fact that Rockforth Corp' may just be hiding something. Why are they afraid to come out with their recipe, even to proper authorities? I think they should make a more formalized statement on it, after all it could even potentially have long-leading fatal effects on wildlife and human contact. Can you imagine the impact of that? All of this and they're sitting back, fat cats with a profit.
The impact of low crop yields in key agricultural systems has reached civilian populations, prompting public concerns over food availability. Freelance journalist Adalyn Cross published this report on Vox Galactica: "The scarcity of fresh fruit and vegetables has become a major concern. Despite the efforts of agricultural bodies and corporations to prevent shortages from affecting the general public, the availability of produce is believed to have fallen further in recent weeks. With fear of a widespread food shortage rising, stockpiling of staple foods by markets and citizens has increased. Prices have fluctuated as opportunistic suppliers take advantage of the situation. It's clear that the situation is more complicated than a mere bad harvest, but as yet there has been little effective response from local governments." In related news, the Rockforth Corporation has publically responded to the Interstellar Association for Agriculture, following requests for compliance documentation related to its new fertiliser. Rockforth marketing director Rex Whitlock made this statement: "We see it as our duty to lead the recovery of affected farming communities, and our revolutionary fertiliser will play a big role. I have full confidence that our new product meets the IAA's standards, and we will fulfil their request at the earliest opportunity."
