"The two satellites in question are from San Francisco startup Planet Labs, which is planning to ring the planet with the tiny units. The satellites, which the firm calls Doves"
Well, they looked like Planet Labs' Doves when they were loaded up, and it looked like the satellite launcher released its payload on its own, but can we be certain that a chap by the name of Hugo wasn't controlling the mechanism remotely, and didn't make a switch at some point, with the payload now containing a toxin (probably sourced from a rare orchid) designed to be released into the upper atmosphere?
