Professor Rook revealed on January 3, 3305 that Vitadyne Labs had not, in fact, invented its new nanomedicine, but had not committed a crime either. Rook stated that a group of independent pilots had found the crash site of the missing Utopian medical transport, and Vitadyne Labs had purchased the Utopian nanomeds as legitimate salvage and then used them to create a derivative type of nanomed. While Rook offered to return the original salvaged nanomeds to Utopia with Vitadyne's apologies, she insisted that Vitdyne had the right to continue to produce the derivatives. Pranav Antal quickly responded by demanding the derivatives be handed over to Utopia as well, and reasserted that Utopian technology could not be used by anyone outside the organization. The IHO announced that it would review the case and render a decision on the nanomeds' ownership.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c2a001986a66548a766dc9b GalNet: Vitadyne Admits Nanomeds of Utopian Origin]</ref> | Professor Rook revealed on January 3, 3305 that Vitadyne Labs had not, in fact, invented its new nanomedicine, but had not committed a crime either.

On January 12, healthcare analyst Dr. Himari Grey discussed the legal dispute over the nanomeds with news feed Vox Galactica, noting that it had raised an ethical dilemma. A number of medical experts had stepped forward to argue that the health benefits of these revolutionary new nanomeds meant that Utopia's claims of ownership appeared selfish and should be disregarded for the public good. At the same time, Vitadyne Labs had already received millions of credits from investors who expected billions in returns, and it was possible that demand could push the nanomeds' price excessively high and prevent all but the wealthiest individuals from being able to purchase them.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c3c6bd01cde991d913163b2 GalNet: Vitadyne Nanomedicines Prompt Ethical Dilemma]</ref> | |||
