Something unnamed tested Blackwater's walls at night — Iriah Venn drove it off and won't say what it was.
Blackwater is a wide-open trade frontier where quantum-core gambling, midnight perimeter incursions, and buried old-world relics are just Tuesday — a colony that drinks its coffee black and its risks blacker.
Tempers flared this week as two colony voices clashed hard over Blackwater's future, while something unseen probed the perimeter after dark. Iriah Venn drove off the intruder and has since gone quiet about a strange relic she dug up below — she's not talking, and nobody's pushing.
Festival prep got hijacked when the visiting gambler Dan bought a round with quantum cores and lost every one to a colony scientist's card trick, leaving Blackwater louder than he found it.
Days later, while the Commander was away, colonists threw an impromptu festival of their own — started by an agriculture hand nobody official sanctioned, and Blackwater partied anyway.
Blackwater then reconstituted itself, trading its old council system for full open commerce: the gates swung wide, and goods, ideas, and fortune began flowing to anyone willing to trade.
Now tension crackles between two culture leaders over the colony's direction, while agriculture scout Iriah Venn drove off something unspeakable at the perimeter and surfaced a silent relic from the depths below.
