The core “evidence” of the report was exactly the footage Rufus and his group had secretly captured through the spaceship’s scanning system before they fled.
Under a wide–angle lens, the lush green farm was fully visible. Rows of crops grew directly out of exposed dark soil, clearly separated from the surrounding garbage mountains.
The image had been deliberately enhanced with high contrast, making the greenery look especially strange and unnatural against the barren background.
Then, several experts with impressive titles such as “Senior Consultant of Kingdom Academy of Agriculture” and “Member of the Interstellar Food Safety Committee” appeared one after another. In the report and in separate interview segments, they criticized the farm in firm, decisive tones.
“This is a step backward in history and an extreme disregard for modern science and public health!” an elderly expert with white hair said, sounding deeply distressed. “Interstellar standards have long confirmed that untreated natural soil contains heavy metals, radioactive residue, and unknown mutated microorganisms. Crops grown directly in such soil inevitably become accumulators of toxins. Long–term consumption will lead to irreversible genetic damage and mental instability!”
Another agriculture expert, known for his authoritative tone, pointed at enlarged details in the images and spoke with absolute certainty. “Look at this crude farming method. There is no isolation or protective system at all. The roots of these crops are in direct contact with contaminated sources. How can the safety of the produce be guaranteed? We strongly question whether the so–called delicious taste and mental soothing effects are actually caused by some unknown harmful substance temporarily stimulating the nervous system. These products must be immediately removed from the market and subjected to full toxicology testing!”
The report also dug deeply into Elizabeth’s past.
Her conflict with the original Elizabeth’s stepsister was portrayed as a calculated and ruthless scheme, where a manipulative woman preyed on an innocent younger sister.
The story about her drugging a man to climb into his bed was exaggerated and described in an extremely degrading way.
Her eventual exile to Planet A001 was presented as undeniable proof of her moral corruption and that she had gotten what she deserved.
The writing was highly suggestive, shaping her into a person who would do anything to achieve her goals, completely devoid of ethics.
An even more insidious move was directing the backlash toward the Hewitts.
The report hinted, through so–called insider sources, that Elizabeth had been able to set up a stall at Sharps Plaza because of pressure exerted behind the scenes by the Hewitts
It also suggested that her transformation from an exile into a farm owner involved suspicious startup funding
The Hewitts‘ recent large–scale purchase of her products was interpreted as a transfer of benefits and an abuse of power to endorse questionable goods.

[Disgusting! She used filthy soil from a garbage planet to grow food for people to eat! She must be insane for money!]

[A shameless woman who drugged her way into a man’s bed. Even after being exiled, she still tried to harm people. She should be arrested immediately, and the farm should be destroyed!]
