I did and I assumed it would be a one time reference, but if other writers want to use it thats fine. The committee could be replaced with anything in the Authority that uses research to fund containment. IMO if the product isn't anomalous then the Authority can use it to fund itself.
I also think that giving the company that made RPC-041 a story is more interesting than just saying it appeared magically or something equally nondescript.
If it is that bad of an idea, I could easilly change them to an Authority front company. Same effect, just a differnt way of saying it. Front companies are run mostly by Level 0 personel, so it makes sense for them to try and save some their jobs by changing the manufacturing process.
