Chapter 1627: Drugs in Alterra (Part 2)

It was indeed the perfect market... if there was no one who could recognize the thing!

The thing was, there were plenty of Terrans in the dorms and they recognized it for what it was.

Even aborigines, thanks to the Elders’ relentless agendas of educating the public about the thing and its dangers, actually had an idea that there was something wrong with it, even if they hadn’t encountered it before.

And so, almost as soon as it was introduced, the guard station was alerted!

Suffice it to say, the seller—who was none other than Eppot—was quickly brought back in for questioning.

...

Eppa watched from the side as her brother was dragged to the prison, her husband patting her shoulder reassuringly.

"He’s brought this upon himself," Louie told his wife. "He should learn his lesson in the mines and re-emerge as a humbled person."

"I’m very conflicted," she admitted. She shouldn’t care, but she did—very much.

"Well, he is your brother," he said, completely understanding. Not to mention, the way she was raised had always been to put her brother above her own needs and wants. It was a long process to completely remove from her psyche, and it was obviously not yet complete.

"However, let us not get involved this time," he said. "That drug... the thing he was planning on spreading... it’s evil," he said.

"It’s really a drug," one of the guards said, using a popsicle stick to study the powder.

This was Atlas, one of the people assigned to the anti-drug task force.

He had actually been part of the narcotics unit back in Terran. Other than the actual chemists, he was one of the best people to be on point here.

"Send a sample to the labs," he said, referring to the Research Center. They would be able to determine if it was the same as the ones they had encountered or if it was a different variant altogether.

They also did not want to be tied by the bias that this product was absolutely the same as the ones in Voumi, because that would significantly lose their way.

At the same time, they wouldn’t be surprised if there were other variations from other sources popping up. Terrans were really creative after all, and sadly, not everyone would use those brains for good.

Ultimately, it was safeguarding the long-term health, safety, and development of their own people, which was a win-win situation.
