After initially calling it an accident New Sparta has now confirmed the loss of the Pentekonter 44M SS Paris was due to a Mutre Bee agent. The head of NSIS Kalifei said that there was now evidence that a Mutre Bee agent had infiltrated the ship and probably caused the detonation of a TPM which Paris was carrying. As the ship was travelling at maximum speed in hyperspace and under massive stress the explosion was sufficient to weaken the superstructure enough to cause a total implosion.
Kalifei said the new DNA tests by the DNA Scanning Agency could have prevented the loss but the DSA is still rolling out, indeed Paris had only received it's DSA officer the day before the explosion. Kalifei said she was confident new DSA was becoming fully operational the Mutre Bee clone threat would be greatly reduced.
