Umm.... WTF? I really hope you've got some serious ties with Ishukone Corporation. I may or may not have contracted with them in the past but absolutely have no interest in their insorum program.
Insorum's origins are not IC knowledge as far as I am aware....

Mr. Wolf and his organization are figments of your imagination and absolutely do not have access to any classified information of value and in fact you mis-heard what he said.
..If he actually existed. Which he does not.

That is actually a highly ritualized ceremony dating back to the years before we took to space, the tea may or may not be poisoned and even if it is, the poisons used are almost always potentially surviveable. You would have had to displease someone you served immensely for them to offer you an incredibly lethal poison... Or they'd have to be an arrogant, dogmatic, jingoist to kill you like that. The point of the tea ceremony is both the deception and uncertainty to whether the tea is poisoned and the chance of survival if it is, the mere act of your superior demanding that you gamble your life to atone for your failures, not being poisoned is an honor, surviving is an even greater honor (so much so that it can more than redeem your failures).

Indeed it is. Thanks for expanding on my post with detail. Good stuff.
