Site B Incident

The Site B Incident was a minor catastrophic event that took place shortly after the Macmar Incident from the 1st-2nd Núlanawe, 946 ACA which resulted in the abandonment of all of the Gen II Corporation's facilities, namely its 'Site B Compound', and the suspension of all of its operations on Kuzakhvesungar, an island located southwest of Macmar Island in the Malkkengarun. As a result of the shutdown of the Compound's defence systems, including its perimeter fences and radio telecommunications with the outside world, 37 people would be killed and 57 more injured in the subsequent meltdown and evacuation effort from the island. Responses to the Site B Incident were significantly delayed due to its proximity to the Macmar Incident in terms of time, meaning that assets that could have been allocated to the evacuation of Site B were otherwise allocated to the response to the situation surrounding the Macmar Island Resort.
With money already tight in the fallout of the Macmar Incident, the Site B catastrophe is regarded as the final nail in the coffin to Gen II's Rex Project operations, with the last hopes of continuing to open the resort at some point down the line being quickly abandoned following the Site B Incident. The same storm that had triggered the power surge that sealed the fate of the Macmar Island Resort had been the storm that had wiped out Gen II's facilities on Site B, which CEO John Pitchardson Rex cited as an 'act of the Gods', and used it to justify axing the Rex Project entirely prior to his resignation from the position of CEO in 947 ACA. Many investors pulled their support of Gen II following the Site B Incident, as it became clear that the initial vision for Gen II's projects was no longer tenable within the time frame they had been guaranteed by Rex.
Unlike the Macmar Incident, which involved people from outside Gen II's inner circle and as a result was guaranteed to have ripple effects - which it did in the form of the 949 Macmar Island Protection Bill, the Site B Incident was a purely Gen II affair that was mostly kept quiet about, similarly to the Site B Compound and Gen II operations on Kuzakhvesungar in general. The incident was quickly swept under the rug and knowledge of the incident outside of Gen II was not revealed until the aftermath of the Malkkengarun Incident nearly 15 years later. Large amounts of hush money labelled as 'work-related compensations' were handed to the families of the victims; many of which later came forward and testified that Gen II's Logistics Manager and later CEO of the company, Garend Blue, had pressured them into accepting the 'compensation' with legal action being threatened should they have chosen to take action against the company. 
The effects of the Site B Incident were kept almost entirely within Gen II, through the form of plummeting the company into near bankruptcy for the next decade, and its aftermath would not start becoming an issue for the wider world until later incidents triggered an influx of dinosaur carcasses to turn up on the mainland in the years before the Malkkengarun Incident in 960 ACA. The island would remain unprotected by law and was subsequently exploited by numerous poaching and illegal extraction operations prior the signing of the Kuzakhvesungar Protection Bill in 962. The island's existence as a dinosaur ecosystem would not become public knowledge until after the Malkkengarun Incident.
