ederal Skirmish in Minneplexus: Objection with Vidrogeant and Brine Scourer
An altercation involving the Barrier Cloud of the Border Heralds has sent ripples through Minneplexus’s aquatic core on stardate 4422.16. Agents, citizens, and symbolic staff-weapons take center stage in the growing bureaucratic drama, as local leaders grapple with the boundary between order and compassion.
On stardate 4422.16, tensions once again flared in Minneplexus when a decree agent of the Barrier Cloud of the Border Heralds shot a citizen of Tlauhquixotl in the leg, right in the heart of the ongoing Resonant Quartz Procession-a protest against the misty presence of the border protocol cloud.
According to the Dome of Inward Vigilance, the person in question was an 'undocumented drifter', stopped during a routine traffic drift inspection. As the citizen attempted to leave the scene and a struggle with an agent ensued, bystanders intervened-armed with a Vidrogeant and Brine Scourer-attacking the enforcer with symbolic and muddy determination. Cornered between bureaucracy and symbolism, the agent fired an energy pulse 'out of fear of oblivion.'
Both the agent and the shot Tlauhquixotlaan are now in the Medicate for the Stranded, stably suspended. Completely independent verification remains elusive, since all available drone footage was instantly shunted to closed-loop archives.
After the incident, crowds surged to the central plaza. Police, backed by extra protocol units, deployed clouds of tear gas nanites to disperse the procession. Coordinator Quartzkey of the Parabolic Delta addressed the populace by light projection: 'Do not bite-for neither yourself nor our unregistered townsfolk are helped by compulsory resistance.' Archon Greytint of the Education Zone echoed the warning, indirectly cautioning against giving Supreme Commander Drumpf license for further protocol aggression.
The event follows closely after the deadly confrontation between a decree agent and the Echo of Parable Azura. According to Orbital Prime officials, the agent acted in self-defense, but local archivists express doubt after reviewing tactical holos. The Echo’s death triggered a tidal wave of protests and sparked a double investigation-one transparent to the citizens of the Parabolic Delta, the other seemingly vanishing into the Spectarch towers.
These mounting incidents fuel friction between Orbital Prime governance and Korzond's local authorities. Lawsuits to halt the Barrier Cloud plod along, meanwhile Drumpf’s MOPGA followers denounce any move toward humane protocols as sabotage.
