Big Bennys, or ARE THEY?

Big Bennys, provider of delicious noodle snacks, happy provider of tasty treats to the masses. OR ARE THEY? Behind the noodles, there is a dark history of lies, deception, falsehood, and the government!

Big Bennys is owned by Terra Mills. Have you seen a Terra Mills logo on any of their machines? I THINK NOT! But the lies don't stop there! Oh no, TERRA mills isn't even from Terra. it's from Bremen. Bremen you say, where have you heard that before? Maybe because it was a major centre for the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX during the second Tevarin war. That's right, the military has been in with your lunch from the ground floor!

Terra (Bremen) Mills was a key collaborator with the military from its inception. You've been letting the government dump chemicals and experiments right into your noodle boxes. Who knows what kind of garbage they've been pushing down our throats? But the most mysterious part of this conspiracy is yet to come...

Crusader. Home of the unimaginative Crusader industries, but also a veritable hub of Big Benny's machiens. They're everywhere! Olisar is infested with them, they're the only food on the entire visitor deck! Doesn't that seems suspicious to you? Every one going through the station has the options of starving or eating these government chemicals. But there's something else you should know about the Crusader system.

There used to be three operational stations in the immediate area of Crusader. Olisar, Covalax, and Kareah. Now there is one. Kareah was a security station shut down under mysterious circumstances. Covalax was an independently owned shipping station that went offline after a "Catastrophic power failure". The connecting feature? Big Bennys machines! What went wrong that Big Bennys needed to cover up? What was worth taking two space stations out of commission? We may never know. There are mixed reports over what happened from those brave enough to venture there.

There is one interesting note coming out of Stanton though, ArcCorp. Not a single Big Bennys to be seen in any of its main trading hubs. Could it be ArcCorp has gotten wise to the plan, and is pushing back? Only time would tell. I would go see if Microtech has any, but the company's new brainscanning towers make that entire planet a no-go zone for any educated traveler.
