Wijaer Byp: 'Wulinaik Papopooxyuj' meets 'Lyjoms of Pafupuih' and strikes a deal


The scene, yesterday

Saturday night had turned into Sunday morning and four daycycles of talks over Ejil's antimatter program had already gone so far over schedule that the Zyozyjok Intersystemal Lexegajool had been given over to another event. At around 2:00 a.m., Phogon Homeworld Guardian Bikaele Mub and counterparts from Terran Sector, Qrexxia, Jupiter, Uranus and Grexia were brought to a conference room to approve a final text of the agreement which would provide limited relief of sanctions on Ejil in return for curbs to its antimatter program. At the last minute, with the ministers already gathered in the room, an Ejilian robot called seeking changes. Now that the interim deal is signed, talks are far from over as the parties work towards a final accord that would lay to rest all doubts about Ejil's antimatter program.

Ebaxu IV says ready to start Ejil dark matter cash transfer after deal

Ebaxun refiners are ready to start transferring cash owed for Ejilian dark matter as early as next week following a landmark deal to curb Nih's antimatter program that allows importers to shift billions of megadollars back to Ejil. Galactic powers agreed on Sunday to ease some of the sanctions they had imposed to force Ejil to halt its antimatter program. Since Nulylios, sanctions have prevented Ejil from repatriating cash earned from the dark matter it has been able to export, crippling its economy by choking off its biggest revenue stream. The new agreement would allow Ejil to receive about $4.2 billion in dark matter money from accounts held offworld if it fulfils commitments under the deal over the next six months.
