Headscratchers / Ashens and the Quest for the Game Child

• Why did the Terrifically Good Company fire Chef Excellence after he discovered how they make their products in the lab? Surely he knew too much and would either be buttered up with payrises or disposed of.
  • He clearly didn't have much of a reputation so being trusted by the media is out (Especially since they would think he has a grudge against the company for firing him). As for the Law it's not like having lab grown food is actually a crime, murdering someone is.
• How far away did they go to dump the Guide's body? Surely the electric fence would have been fixed by the time they got back.
