anticore Shadow Sorties: Alarm over Silent Cleavers along Gravonia's Western Flank
The already tense skies above Gravonia filled with warning lights and sirens as swarms of Silent Cleavers from Sector R pressed toward Klymora's border. The Manticores and their shadowy Malefic Shadowmorphs launched in formation. Allied pilots followed suit, as civilians took cover beneath a blizzard of command bulletins.
On stardate 4422.257, sirens once again echoed through the aerial corridors of Gravonia as the Order of the Floating Manticores scrambled their Malefic Shadowmorphs around Cloud Fortress Wyryka. The immediate cause: a group of Silent Cleavers from Sector R surged toward the brightly-lit borderlands with Klymora. The Manticores, assisted by allies from the Alliance of the Iron Star, not only deployed their archaic patrol flight but also activated ground-based defense barriers, lighting the horizon up to the ion storm's edge.
According to hexagonal proclamations by Praetor Zynthel Quarzien, Gravonia's chief spokesperson, the abrupt drone course deviation was more than enough for 'elevated vigilance'-read: panic with paperwork. In residential sectors Swidnix and Chelmeka, civilians received holographic threat bulletins, basically: 'Stay indoors and ignore the bureaucratic flyers beneath your door'.
Meanwhile, Kartharos Octant reported their Featherlight Cohorts of Aeronautic Drift twice ascended when a Cleaver briefly hovered in the atmospheric shell overhead. The pursuit covered exactly 20 kilometers of pure uncertainty, after which the target vanished among the lights of a reflection lake. Local authorities reassured no biome, codevillage, or floating marketplace was endangered, though chronic anxiety remains a regional pastime.
Observers from the Chronicle Screen Collective note a recent escalation; in previous cycles, swarms of Silent Cleavers have repeatedly tested Gravonia's blue-green defense line at night. While most drones failed to breach the mist frontier, the edge of Wyryka did see an energy dome struck, with collateral damage to a battered solar dome and three confused microdrones now claiming musical abilities.
