Object
Acamarian-Targeted Engineered Microvirus
A laboratory‑engineered, submicroscopic viral agent with no visible form outside instrumentation. Detected only by forensic assays and sealed bio‑vials in sickbay, it carries molecular markers engineered to recognize a single, rare Acamarian DNA sequence. In victims it latches onto parasympathetic nerve receptors and functions as a potent cholinesterase inhibitor, producing rapid physiologic collapse. Medical staff handle it with sterile gloves and clinical detachment as the proof of a deliberate, precision assassination.

Significance
Serves as the decisive forensic clue that converts Volnoth's death from a mysterious medical case into a targeted political assassination, links a decades‑old murder to current events, and propels the investigation toward a vendetta and diplomatic crisis.
