The Cosmic Chronicle

On stardate 4422.272, the tranquility of Sector Klarovel was violently disrupted in what is now known as the Chapel Collision. Early in the day, a runaway Bulkythoon of Distraction-Loop 7 - infamous for its unpredictable drives - plowed through the transparent entrance of the Monomodule Sanctuary. Its sole occupant: the notorious Crashwrecker of Poolmist-12, a being whose record is etched in the chromatic plasma of local archives.

Once halted amid praying residents and mechanical greeting birds, the Crashwrecker exited, his welding arm trembling with existential despair. Within moments, the rite turned to chaos as he activated an old ion beam, indiscriminately unleashing it on the crowd. Five pattern-abiding attendees were immediately struck, after which the Crashwrecker deliberately triggered his chest smoke generator, setting the modular structure ablaze. The fire spread uncontrollably through the overzealous ventilation nodes, leaving the entire chapel section charred beyond recognition.

Two safety officers responded with rare coordination, engaging the Crashwrecker in a firefight outside the scorched module. He was ultimately neutralized, his tracks smoldering in the haze. As always, local officials shroud motives in bureaucratic ambiguity. Speculation ranges from a malfunctioning pattern-recognition algorithm to deep-seated frustration with the Protocol of Polite Redundancy.

The sanctuary burned for hours before modular firefighting drones contained the blaze. Emergency crews caution that more victims may be found in the ashes. Local authorities have advised all sector residents to avoid spontaneous gatherings for now.
