RATUS-GONE OAKEO

Former Synth capital reduced to muddy wasteland

by Iteration: Ke'nuun 17 July 2024, UFIPA Iteration 3

Scientists are baffled by a catastrophic temperature change on former Synthetic capital, Ratuscont Oakeo. We interviewed Head Xenobiologist Aether on-site.

"One of our Governors arrived at the Capital Planet to find its climate completely changed. Ratuscont Oakeo was initially chosen as a Capital for its slightly chilly temperatures– a perfectly comfortable temperature for those with mechanical components.

However, it appears to have undergone some sort of cataclysmic warming event, resulting in the melting of subterranean permafrost and ancient glaciers. This released large amounts of moisture into the soil and atmosphere, along with unleashing pathogens that were once frozen in the ice.

I have personally been hearing reports of similarly scaled events happening across the galaxy. Despite my knowledge of the patterns throughout the universe, I never ever experienced anything quite like this. None of us could’ve predicted this, and I believe the cause may remain lost to us.

Losses aside, I find this quite exciting! I have hope that we’ll be able to find a new Capital, as well as opening the door to new possibilities in exploration and discovery!"

Since the interview, all residents of the (now toxic) former paradise world have been ordered by the Governors to evacuate to a nearby moon of planet Hogat 95/I4 (also referred to as Hogat 48/I9), Habri Delta.

This moon is slightly humid, though poses otherwise ideal climate properties for settlers.
