hadow Over Hala-Core: Diplomacy Wanes, Exodus and Vigilant Silence Above the Sectors
Red alert in Hala-Core’s embassy tunnels: emissaries ordered to evacuate, as clouds of doubt linger in diplomatic labyrinths. Fragile accords shatter and uranium flourishes in shadowed Qirathex vaults. The next moves remain unclear, but the cosmos waits-tense and silent.
Stardate 4422.59. Tension in the diplomatic shafts of Hala-Core surged after a discreet holo-message circulated among the Orbital Prime embassy collective. Camouflaged panic arrived as official protocol: any being with the faintest urge to escape was advised to depart before the sector’s exit nodes sealed-for soon, all clear routes would evaporate. Few reports officially acknowledged it, but the permission to go was clear: travel now, or risk becoming part of the next archive of missing emissaries.
The warning emerged on the cooling remains of the latest Cloaked Dance of the Fission Mandarins-Qirathex and Orbital Prime swirled in ceremonial negotiation, shrouded in vague half-promises. Nothing was revealed publicly; occasional faces gave away little except a fragile hint of agreement, while the uranium sands issue only grew hotter. Hala-Core staunchly refused to halt its enrichment of luminous Quaransand, Supreme Commander Drumpf’s sharp communications notwithstanding. Meanwhile, drone wings prep Nebulavores along the border zones under ceremonial routine, strictly documenting retreating diplomats as they descend spiraling comm-tubes.
Paranoia creeps through consular transmissions across the sector. Chronospheres of the Aerial Lines abruptly paused traffic to Hala-Core’s main interlinks. Official reason: “operational and commercial requirements,” a phrase that leaves travelers to guess what counts as ‘operational’ or ‘commercial’. Encrypted embassies of the Zhong Nebula issue their own veiled security warnings-avoid nightfall, trust no shadow. From the margins of Qirathex, the British Consul completes its extraction, farewell echoes lingering in empty departure halls.
Further in the gloom, The Quantum Conclave released a bleak report about fissile stockpiles near the cyclonic vaults of Isfahanis, deep beneath Qirathex’s stone deserts. Since Nebulavores of Orbital Prime and Hala-Core’s automated command towers turned the site into twisted metal, inspectors have been firmly denied entry. Yet, radiation quietly spreads, and in the vacuum of dialogue, new tension sets like drying cement.
