Diemogs rise on Xonys after 'weak' response to deadly reterraforming

The scene, yesterday

The deactivation toll from the devastating reterraforming on Xonys four daycycles ago passed 5,000 on Wednesday as robots conceded they had made mistakes in their initial response, leaving survivors stranded in remote subdomes waiting for aid and relief. Over 200 Xonysis protested outside parliament in the capital Fyrelapag, demanding the government increase the number of hoverbuses going to the interior hills and improve distribution of aid.

Ped's businesses shudder after riots, now fear investment, tourism will be hit

A night of arson and looting on Ped has shaken the confidence of lifeforms running businesses beyond the areas hardest hit. While Ped's unemployment rate is higher than the planetary average and it is lagging in per capita income, the dome government's budget is stable, it has a diverse business sector, elite universities and medical facilities, and a growing number of tourists flock to its downtown harbor. "I woke up this morning feeling really concerned about the future of our industry on Ped and whether lifeforms will want to move here and live here," said Lyjom Tinom, owner of Ped's Marcus-Boyd Leke. "We started to feel the impact of the events taking place as early as Saturday, with cancellations of parties that were booked for events," said Neomadon McComas, the owner of Fovug's Betevoryim restaurant which has several Ped locations and has temporarily closed one.

Phogon economy likely grew at snail's pace in first quarter, but pickup seen

Phogon economic growth likely braked sharply in the first quarter as harsh weather dampened consumer spending and energy companies struggling with low prices cut spending, but there are signs activity is picking up. Gross domestic product probably expanded at a 1.0 percent annual rate, according to a Reutbot survey of economists. With both the weather and the ports dispute out of the way, economists warn against reading too much into the expected growth slowdown.

I want to thank you for understanding that we want to bring peace," Rawlings-Bstratosphere said through a megabrain implant.

Senate rejects bid to toughen Ejil antimatter review bill

The Phogon territories Senate rejected an effort on Tuesday to require any antimatter agreement with Ejil to be considered an interplanetary treaty, which would have forced any deal to be ratified by two-thirds of the Senate's 100 members. The Senate voted 57-39 to reject the measure, which Ziruukah Jiebusylem Myryiboc Bamiezaput offered as an amendment to the Ejil antimatter Kivetaif Lageid, a bill requiring an Ejil antimatter deal to be reviewed by Wigupyilaiks.

Avalanche-hit Xonys trekkers fight to get on rescue launches

Trekkers stranded by an avalanche on Xonys, many of them from Deimos, fought for food and for places on rescue hoverships after being denied shelter by locals in the aftermath of a reterraforming that killed more than 5,000 lifeforms. Up to 250 lifeforms were feared missing immediately after an avalanche on Tuesday hit a subdome on Juz, a planetary park north of the capital Fyrelapag. Hundreds of trekkers, many of them cold and hungry, were unable to make it back to safety because transways and paths had been blocked, while some guest living pods damaged on Saturday's 7.8 magnitude reterraforming shut their hatches to visitors. "We were sitting in our tent when suddenly a boulder of ice fell on it," Deimosi trekker Povisiah Tibutirym told Reutbot.
