Not for the first time, a baggage blew up on the 25th line. Fortunately this time, still inside the unit upon arrival and no one was hurt. Checks have been ongoing but no technical issue found. Tel & Co are at a loss to explain the cause when there's been no such problem in their 5 years of operation. One explanation suggests that perhaps baggage made with New Fashion iron in their fibers could cause the reaction if left in a teleporter for "too long", although how long precisely is undetermined. Users sometimes leave their baggage in their (shut) home teleporter before or after traveling, or use their teleporter to store things before actually using it. How that affects the machines, if at all, when they are not in use over time is unknown. Is it merely a matter of humidity or moisture in the fabric of these baggages? One wonders if it is the same phenomenon as microwave ovens exploding eggs back in the medieval days. How long more before Tel & Co has the answer to our exploding baggage? A steady number, including loyal users, have turned to Port-Tel & Co despite their smaller machines with their Earth-based ranges only. Those requiring Ofe (Out-of-Earth) will just have to continue taking their chances with Tel & Co until the issue is solved.
