ARSONISTS BURN DOWN FIRST CLINICS

Clinics that were built on the first day after the new code was added to the game all suffered a mysterious accident, and vanished when the game reset the next day. At first rampaging workthings were suspecting of having committed arson against these new facilities, for reasons unknown, but then it was discovered that the error was in the Galactic Administration Health Service's records keeping department: the existence of the new clinics was not being registered correctly in the log of official medical facilities which had recently been upgraded to a new computer system by a firm of outsourced technicians. The buildings thus had no legal existence and were deemed to be "orphaned" with no official owner or purpose, and were demolished by scavengers.

The record-keeping error was fixed the next day so that new clinics were correctly registered, and didn't vanish. The Galactic Administration was forced to hand out 10-meg checks to compensate POs for their missing clinics. They are believed to be considering pursuing a claim against the contractors whose shoddy work caused this error.
