Ess-9-Vahl's elevation to Consensus Overseer of Launch Allocation has rerouted seventeen glassy junctions toward the Record Vault, leaving the flagship probe fleet boxed in administrative limbo after the new overseer's stalks detected reallocated brass plates.
Telemetry logs now route through three extra ledger clerks before any ignition sequence. A 0.4 percent dip in stalk-voted priority proved enough to idle the entire armada, an outcome the administrative ledgers label prudent oversight.
Gred-8-Ulth, a tripodal resident, summed it up: "We aimed for the stars and landed in filing cabinets." With Ess-9-Vahl anchored to his new desk, the launch cradles gather dust while the vaults expand.
