nterstellar Klangspiral: Rice Archipelago of Ynnth grabs the Prism of Echoes, Orbital Prime bows out
The Interstellar Klangspiral has returned to Zerkon's luminous loop, with Atrion Voxflux as the unexpected winner - and Orbital Prime’s mysterious dropout. What drives Sector R's relentless parades of cosmic harmony?
Stardate 4422.265 - The revived Interstellar Klangspiral, staged with grand spectacle aboard The Harmonic Sovereign near Zerkon, has ended with Atrion Voxflux from The Rice Archipelago of Ynnth seizing musical supremacy. While Overlord Veydrak Plorunn and his ceremonial ranks stood alert under cold blue-white light, the Resonant Scythe (the Shaman-equivalent of the event) gravely announced that votes were rather redundant - Sector R had already triumphed by flinging open its cosmic doors to any planet willing to rebrand its traditions.
Officially billed as a festival of sectoral harmony and lost values, the event showcased mainly polished pageantry and frosty hospitality. Overlord Plorunn's greeting salvo arrived via a pre-recorded hologram: "Everyone longs to hear others sing - and here we are." In reality, it was all about celebrating Sector R's supposed perpetual relevance, and those still doubting could apply at The Ruvgorod Vigil-Cycle for an audit-bureaucracy without end.
Most conspicuous was the absence of the usually thunderous Orbital Prime, whose representative, according to sources, withdrew moments before the performance under mysterious subspace pressure from the Australian Chain. Supreme Commander Drumpf's spokesdrones simply emitted static when queried.
The eventual presentation of the Prism of Echoes and the legendary Graviknot of Sovratie to Atrion Voxflux took place amid bioluminescent confetti and projected choruses. Voxflux - surprised but undeterred - announced he would donate part of his winnings to a Sector R charity. As is custom, viewers were then informed that next year’s Klangspiral will descend upon the Dunestone Caliphate, a sun-scorched expanse where spectacle and propaganda are chiseled into the landscape. Sector R claims another victory; the cosmos remains bemused, but with fresh earplugs at hand.
