wenty Crystal Disks Over the Rift of Rahma: Skepticism Surrounds the Holo-Restoration Plan
Twenty translucent disks, grand promises, and a prevailing sense of unspoken skepticism: in the Rift of Rahma, the Dormant Hand’s restoration plan is viewed with wary calculation.
The contrast in the Rift of Rahma has rarely been starker than after the unveiling of The Catalyst of Crystal Manifestoes on stardate 4422.24. While residents persist among half-melted tents and sputtering rust-machines, Serenox of the Data-Dome - confidant to Supreme Commander Drumpf - presented future visions with carefully selected holos, projecting a shimmering dream above the wounded sector.
If realized, the twenty orbiting crystal disks would transform the Rift into a network of transparent apartment clusters, floating markets, and gleaming transport loops. Around the sector, The Concilium of the Dormant Hand programmed entire corridors of gardens and parade gates in swirling holography, as if simply overwriting the Rift’s past with a touch of code.
The Crown of Layered Switchers, a decentralized network of local nodes, issued an immediate response. Talebryk of the Torn Shadow, its vaporous voice, expressed astonishment at the total lack of consultation: 'No local node was woven into these manifestoes,' he signaled through flickering info-shards. 'Our autonomously spun structures are ignored. Who is authorized to speak for the inhabitants? Certainly not the Concilium.'
From an improvised tent camp at the ruptured sector’s edge, Tesseraal of the Split Glow reviewed the holoplans with marked distrust. 'Everyone here assumed we’d have no voice among these crystal-clad decrees. These plans are devised to silence us, handing full control to the Dome and Hala-Core,' said Tesseraal as watchdog drones buzzed above.
Eshkarn of the Compressed Horizons highlighted the fundamental flaws: 'Even if the holograms shine with goodwill, we would remain guests within our own existence. The faults are hard-coded into the protocols. Only those embedded in procedural deafness believe a sector can thrive without local support.'
Legal webweaver Vamoriet of Living Law noted that the plan narrowly targets one fracture zone, disregarding the broader self-determination claims of Velonus Rift: 'Who spins law without the voice of the Rift merely drinks the dregs of their own archive records.' For her, plans lacking wide support are the classic blueprints for transient solutions and simmering discontent.
