When exohuman settlers first arrived on VOI 700 D, abundant local water seemed free — until expanding ExoHuman camps tainted wells and springs. In September 2626, Chantal Berkenheim tapped the pristine Arla source and founded Mistspring Water Inc., bottling crystal‑clear spring water into 750 mL flasks. Settlers soon abandoned impure wells for sealed purity.

• 750 mL Sealed Flask: Sterile glass flask (produced by Bermuda Inc.) with tamper‑evident cork and heat‑shrink seal.

• Label: Clear wrap with blue spring‑wave logo, batch code, bottling date, and “Pure from the Source” motto.
• Seal: Wax‑dipped cork bearing Mistspring watermark.

• Storage: Keep sealed flasks in cool, shaded areas.
• Shelf Life: Indefinite when sealed; once opened, consume within 24 h.

Clues might include mismatched seal stamps in the Receiving Dock, altered ledger lines, a missing refill crate, or Hoos resin on a forbidden mezzanine door. A staged payout sting at the Dispatch Platform could nab the perp — or trigger a desperate sabotage attempt …
