Final narrative
An employee was helping a mechanic diagnose a problem with an airlock. The mechanic had the airlock open to access the fan that was inside. The employee attempted to clear cocoa powder that was stuck in the port with his finger. The running airlock fan propeller then amputated his right index fingertip.
