eavy Resistance for the Quota of the Dew Veil: Cerulean Debate in Polycordis Spirals Out
Aroxis of the Thermal Balance struggles to push the ambitious Quota of the Dew Veil through Polycordis’ bureaucratic labyrinth, facing unexpected resistance. What awaits the universe if even Flatland’s logic can’t prevail?
On stardate 4422.261, with the archivist drones buzzing harder than Flatland’s wind engines ever could, Aroxis of the Thermal Balance found themselves decidedly ill at ease. Their much-anticipated proposal to reduce universal heat-shroud emissions by 90 percent by stardate 4440.001-The Quota of the Dew Veil-faces opposition from every conceivable angle.
In Polycordis’ glass labyrinth, a colorful crowd of creaking administrators and glowing eco-delegates gathered this morning. The plan: finally issue a definitive go-ahead for one of the boldest atmospheric decrees since the condensation crystal’s invention. In practice, deadlock reigns, especially with resistance from Aletheia and Gastropolis. Aletheia, usually the mathematical backbone of The Cerulean Consortium, demands delay. Chancellor Frid Mertels accuses Aroxis of procedural haste and a serious lack of 'rational buffer space.' Meanwhile, the market forces of Gastropolis lobby for looser emission regulations, ideally with generous virtual reduction credits in far-off regions-a notion gaining traction among several recalcitrant sectors.
Approval was nowhere to be found today. Even Flatland, that champion of logic, is isolated in its support for the Veil Quota. Behind closed spiral doors, word spreads that the 90 percent ambition is up for serious renegotiation, with the entire mechanism at risk of being watered down with extra loopholes and misty exceptions. Whether the Quota will become anything more than a ceremonial report, signed in blue vapor, is now very much in doubt.
To make matters worse, the delay threatens to seep into other cosmic assemblies. The upcoming Spiral Pacts of Nebulus Prime beckon, where The Cerulean Consortium hopes to present itself as a galactic frontrunner-but lacking a concrete interim target for 4435.001, they risk a credibility crisis: supporters fear embarrassment, critics sense their opportunity to dismantle the quota. Watching the current debates, one sees Arcadium bureaucrats feverishly re-writing proposals as administrative fog slowly rises from Polycordis’ negotiation cones.
