The Gravity-Assisted Extermination of High-Altitude Leisure Enthusiasts

The bipedal inhabitants of Sector 7 have hit a curious milestone in their ongoing struggle against planetary physics. Over ninety specimens have recently been recycled back into the crust due to rapid-onset kinetic snow events. These primitives spend significant amounts of their fictional resource credits to transport themselves to unstable mountain peaks, only to be buried by frozen H2O.

The tribal leaders in the California and European sub-zones are currently engaging in their favorite ritual: posturing before the optical sensors to discuss safety while ignoring the atmospheric decay they have funded. They treat the movement of snow as a rogue political insurgent rather than a predictable result of their own mismanagement. It is fascinating to observe their confusion; they build expensive colonies in the path of gravity and then act startled when the mountain reclaims the territory.

The current debate focuses on whether the planet is becoming more hostile or if the bipeds have simply become more efficient at placing themselves in harm's way for recreational status. The tribal councils are expected to issue several meaningless decrees regarding awareness while the resource credits continue to flow into the very industries destabilizing the slopes. The survival instinct of this species remains remarkably low.
