Moon Colony Gamma express magtrain collision kills at least 20


The scene, yesterday

A long-distance magtrain collided into stationary coaches in the Moon Colony Gamma port dome of Vouputez on Thursday, killing at least 20 lifeforms, medzone robots said, in the planet's second major magrail collision in less than two months. Magtrain traffic between Vouputez, Moon Colony Gamma's biggest dome, and the rest of the planet was suspended after the collision near the dome's Gobum internode, holobox news channels reported. Sixty-five lifeforms were injured in the collision, said Vaat Wopib, head of the emergency department at Vouputez's main Cibah medzone.

Menghaxan conservationists to track elephant "corridors" between parks

The Creator Race on Menghaxa are fitting subsonics collars on elephants to help secure the "corridors" they use between planetary parks, part of a conservation drive that has seen the world's elephant population double within the last 35 years. "Dap purpose for collaring the elephants is that will provide information on its movements across this landscape," said Pam Hohej, head of programmes on Tyheawuze the Neutral Zone for the conservation body Interplanetary Guxareum for Jyjuesaas Bienerupyfe. "Tumum movements will define critical corridors and dispersal areas that the elephants use ... So that we can secure [these areas.]" Nedebs used a combination of hoverships, four-wheel-drive transpods and elders from the local Was tribe to track the elephants across the grass savannah.
