Hello everyone. I am Portalearth. i am *NOT* in any means associated with Focks Industries but merely a voice to release publicly of backdoor deals and conversations between members of political office, corporation fat cats, directors of organizations that "don't exist." By no means is this illegal because last i looked, the Neural Net isn't terribly regulated and finding me is hard because i'm broadcasting through a secret method only taught to...well i'm just messin, but seriously, you can't find this signal or even trace it if you managed to.
But i shall first provide a transcript of a conversation between Mango CEO and it's Business opponent Focks Industries. The Focks Industries rep in the recording is unknown and our experts are working hard find out who it is with only limited access to employee records of FI. Mango's CEO is Jonathon Falla. The recording is dated roughly 5 months before the PALS was released.

Jonathon Falla: Hello?
Focks Industries Rep: Is this Jonathon Falla?
JF: Yes, Who am i speaking to?
FI Rep: I represent Focks Industries. We understand your 'Project Small' is nearing completion, but is missing a component that prevents the device from entering Testing and QA phases.
JF: Okay. So how do you know know about that?
FI Rep: Because we have that component you need...well at least a working prototype and the technical drawing for it.
JF: How?
FI Rep: It's not important. FI is having difficulty keeping costs down. We have a working prototype as well, fully functional and lives up to your plans Mr. Falla. It's only a matter of who releases it first.
JF: So why not just release it and put you at number 1?
FI Rep: Like I said, it's a matter of keeping costs down. You understand what I'm Saying?
JF: I think I do. So what do you want with me?
FI Rep: Focks Industries is willing to give you our Focus Engine prototype and blueprints in exchange for 50% of the Project Small's Revenue
JF: There's gotta be a catch if you aren't asking for money up front. Focks Industries always asks for money up front...even under the guise of a deposit
FI Rep: Well...
JF: C'mon man if there is something that could potentially ruin me, i need to know up front.
FI Rep: Okay...During our testing phase, some of our testers developed some health anomalies...
JF: Health anomalies...?
FI Rep: Well, it was really only one tester. Completely isolated. We through everything 3 times in every conceivable way. It's FI Standard Policy to make sure R&D releases something thats not gonna fuck up and SOP makes sure of that.
JF: I see.
FI Rep: And that's why we are usually second in revenue. Our things are just too damn expensive. People buy them, the demographic is usually people who make 7-8 figures a year.
JF: I see. What happened to that tester?
FI Rep: Smart man...
JF: I'm not the CEO of Mango for nothing.
FI Rep: True this. Be cautioned, it's graphic and i'm only reading from the the report that was generated due to the incident.
JF: Fire away
FI Rep: "Tester 213 began the test of the Personal Atomizer revision 6.11 make 2. Successfully tested on objects 12-D "Briefcase", 1-E "Spare Tire" and 2-E "10-Gallon Oil Drum." Upon initialization sequence of Test 3-E "Replica President Kennedy Oval Office Desk," Personal Atomizer Revision 6.11 Make 2 exhausted a cloud which later was found to be a synthesized neural toxin. Tester 213 began exhibiting hostile and aggressive nature 2 minutes after exposure. Tester 213 Assaulted a technician with a screwdriver with several violent thrusts into the ear canal and eye sockets. Tester 213 then began to "eat" the technicians forearm and face. The Technician appears to have "reanimated" and is now being ignored by Tester 213. Observers purged the test room from remote facility. Accompanying video file 18-2.51
JF: Wow.
FI Rep: Imagined if this report gets into the public domain. The Report later determines the cause was at the Focus Engine and after this we completely rebuilt it. We can provide revision history if you'd like as well.
JF: That would be nice
FI Rep: Excellent. We want to make sure you aren't getting our mistakes. It's bad business and creates all sorts of legal problems.
JF: I agree. Alright. I'll do it.
FI Rep: Good good. We'll send all the necessary paper work. We want to remind you that this contract is to be taken very seriously. it's been written so this Revision of our Focus Engine no longer is ours. It's made clear in the paperwork.
JF: It sounds too easy and i'm beginning to second guess.
FI Rep: Check your messages, Mr. Falla
JF: What the-? Whats this?
FI Rep: The Contract. Please read it and let us know. We have many other projects to keep us busy and can wait on a decision from you. But keep in mind time is money and if you wait too long, we may release our Atomizer anyway.
JF: If you do that, some people may not like this contract
FI Rep: What Contract?

Turns out that FI was wrong about where the Toxin came from.
5 months later, this Article came out on SNN
QuoteA fatal design flaw in tech super giant Mango's newly released Personal Atomizer Launch System was found when a consumer was shot and killed while eating a homeless mans face. Mango, barraged with a flurry of complaints, are working on the problem and is requiring a mandatory recall of all PALS devices. Citizens across the Sirius and Altair sector's are scrambling to acquire food, medical supplies and weapons to what people are calling "The Zombie Apocalypse." A zombies another name for a human who has died and come back to life with all but the utmost primitive parts of the brain not functional and wanders the world looking for the flesh of the living. Mango stated that the cause of the sudden aggressive cannibalism is still unknown, but may have to do with the very small amount of radioactive substances in the device. SNN Analysts smell a lawsuit.
