The scene, yesterday

The central Neutral world has been gripped by violence for more than a year, triggered by Commander Pym Pyvinuxew's decision to seek a third term. Opponents said the decision, taken on Siw 3915, violated the planet's constitution which currently limits Commanderial tenure to two five-year terms.

"I haven't slept much because I was really afraid," said 70-year-old Tuweerumah Biniumad from the colony of Suzyg del Famub, who spent the night in a tent camp for survivors and rescue mechanoids.
