FJRK: Project Rapture. Off with a Coffin. But who?

Project Rapture. Off with a Coffin. But who?
April 9th, 29487.

Omni-Tek are calling it 'Project Rapture,' The Neutrals are calling it nothing and Omni-Tek's main orbital relay mysteriously goes offline the day before.

At 1115 this morning, Omni-Tek HQ launched a pod into orbit containing biological matter held in stasis. Due to ionospheric interference we were unable to conduct a more detailed scan of it's interior. All attempts to contact Omni-Tek have been met with comm silence, even through neutral channels.

The ICC has identified that Omni-Tek is 'in a period of mourning' over the death of Admiral Cookson, who's body is being transferred to Rubi-Ka in the next few days. The question I ask is, if a body is coming down to Rubi-Ka. Why launch a pod up to the ship in orbit with biological matter in it?

My guess is that they wanted some brontoburgers for the trip and it's keept in stasis to keep it fresh.
The neutrals always pull things out of proportions and dive into some crazy conspiracy.
And what gives the neutrals the right to scan our spaceships in the first place?
For Buffys sake. It's a Omni-Tek space ship. Why would anyone think that it's up to no good?
