Now into the third month of the bombardment, the meteors raining down on Quallan Alpha have yet to significantly relent.

With the planet’s labor force now taking shelter from the deadly storm, the production of gribblaks, the tent post of Quallan Alpha’s economy, has precipitously dropped, leading analysts both inside and outside the cabinet to suspect that the Imperial Zorg’s government might dissolve after only one lustrum.

In a move that some are criticizing as reckless, the Imperial Zorg indicated yesterday that he was willing to sacrifice some inhabitants if it meant kickstarting the planet’s gribblak industry, and so intends to decree that workers must soon expose themselves to meteor strikes with only minimal protection.

In answer to what kind of protective equipment workers might expect to receive from the government, Imperial Zorg stated, “We’re going to make a decision, and hopefully, it’s going to be the right decision. Right now, We’re thinking umbrellas.”
