The inhabitants of Sector 7’s designated Green Zone are currently engaging in their periodic ritual of marking cellulose scraps to determine which bipedal specimen will oversee their tribal posturing. For decacycles, this specific patch of land was lauded by other primitive collectives as a model of liberal democracy—a quaint local superstition where they pretend the biomass actually chooses its own fate.

The current tension stems from a collective anxiety regarding a potential authoritarian turn. It seems the bipeds are increasingly enamored with the prospect of a single specimen, Laura Fernández, who promises to use heightened physical force to manage the territory. This shift is fueled by a dispute over cocaine, a white chemical powder that the bipeds value more than their own biological stability. Various sub-factions are currently neutralizing each other to control the distribution routes of this powder to northern territories, primarily to exchange it for fictional resource credits.

While the region is primarily known to galactic tourists for its colorful avian species and dense foliage, the local primates are currently more interested in whether their new chief will implement hardline protocols. It is a classic bipedal paradox: they fear the loss of their freedoms yet seem desperate to hand those same freedoms to whoever promises to suppress the rival powder-traders most efficiently. We shall continue to observe the farce from a safe orbital distance, though the outcome will inevitably result in more noisy shouting and no actual advancement toward Type I civilization status.
