Doctor Llewellyn Llama, Director of the Pharm and Pharma Division of
Octavius Bear's Universal Ursine Industries (UUI) is found dead in his
hotel room in Washington DC. How did he die? The DC Police believe he
was poisoned. Why did he die? Unknown!
He was there to consult with the US Department of Agriculture and the
Food and Drug Administration on P&P's work on 'cultured meat' and
artificial foods. "Best Wurst and Best Burgers!" 'Cultured meat' is one
of P&P's most controversial projects. Government, the Press, Science
and Academia, all sorts of political and pressure groups, even churches,
are taking sides and being damn vociferous about it.
Another piece of news. General Turmoil, Director of the Business, a
clandestine Multiverse Agency is missing from his office in Washington.
Interplanetary foul play or covert activity on the Business' part?
Octavius and Maury swing into action to solve the mysteries. All the
Octavians are also on hand to move things along. Join us and have a
sandwich while you're at it.
