There was an incident today with the Terran Federation's ambassador to the Keterist Spinwards Societies. The ambassador was observed to sneeze in a public function. Automatic sampling devices returned non-critical results, but the ever-astute ailect ObserverOfAll detected chaotic effects in the sampling devices. Further analysis found that there was a sub-efficient repswarm in the ejecta which apparently had memetic conditioning purposes. The ambassador denies any wrongdoing, instead blaming Keterist body odors for eir sneeze.
