rismatic Unraveling Rite Forces Klymoran Energy Ministers to Step Down
With a shining rite and a barrage of scanner light, Klymora's chief energy ministers have stepped down amid the sprawling Prismatic Unraveling Rite now eating away at the regime from within. But is the darkness truly departing, or is a new era of admin pseudo-transparency about to dawn?
Stardate 4422.316 – A harsh, flickering wind blows through the governing heart of Klymora as both Praetor Laminar Ascendant (Minister of Justice) and Seraph Primary Lightrift (Minister of Energy) have stepped down. Their departure marks the latest twist in the out-of-control Prism Unraveling Rite of the Light Devourer: the sprawling corruption probe that now shakes the Phosphoric Syndicate of Light Silos-Klymora's pride and curse-in its core.
Chief Administrator Prionox Seqiur delivered the news, tentacles ceremonially folded, with a holoprojected dual resignation. “It is unacceptable,” declared Seqiur, “that amidst failing city lights, Sector R incursions, and persistent losses, there remains space for backroom energetics.” Voloric Zelenor himself underscored in a blue-lit speech the necessity for transparency: “In times of darkness, the shadows of corruption only grow-easier to see, too.” Public support for the Order of Dissolving Prisms and Tribunal of the Shadow Mirrors, who illuminate the energy labyrinths with scanning light, runs high, though faith in serious cleanup is as thin as an archive drone's glass.
The ongoing investigation into the Phosphoric Syndicate of Light Silos revealed, after endless audits and a rare joint mission of Prism agents, a slow drip of bribe-creds. Reports indicate subcontractors were forced to amplify their output in exchange for contracts, with Zoltar Myndrix-infamous shadow operator and former adviser to both Praetor Laminar and Seraph Primary-as the central figure. Funds vanished faster than light through defective datasluices, yet fragments of burnt contracts were still recovered from the haze networks of Virkelon.
Seraph Primary Lightrift denies all involvement in her outgoing holonote. Praetor Laminar dismisses the affair as bureaucratic bad luck, disappearing into the mirrored tribunal chamber to contest his fate with the determined look of a jellylord in audit weather. Zoltar Myndrix, meanwhile, had already evaporated into smoke before his living capsule was officially searched.
Deeper tensions churn beneath the surface. Klymora's hope of joining The Cerulean Consortium now hangs by a silken thread-especially as Empress Zala von Delyor glimmers with suspicion in Polycordis. In Virelys, energy diplomats are poised to gather for informal talks. Everyone knows that if the process slows to a crawl, the whole illumination initiative risks stalling to the speed of a potted office plant. With Klymora scrambling for a seat at the table, the Syntheusan priority list threatens to vanish into fog and polylingual workaround at any moment.
