NASA confirmed that the Juno anomaly is a traversable wormhole to another star system. The LIMINAL mission sent probes through it. Administrator Clane said "we were building infrastructure for a solar system, it turns out we were building it for a galaxy." The Herald printed that sentence without commentary. KFD will provide the commentary: a galaxy that has roads this bad is not a galaxy worth reaching.
We have been told that the SOLARCOM relay network - the one this newspaper asked about repeatedly, the one NASA would not explain - was built to communicate with probes sent through the wormhole. So: NASA built an interstellar communications infrastructure before it built a functional road in Dricken Valley. We have noted this. We have noted it in a frame on the wall. We have notified the Council.
The wormhole does not fill the pothole. The galaxy does not pave the road. Another star system does not have a road budget for this one. Gerald remains. The Council remains unresponsive. KFD remains.
In unrelated news, the POTHOLE-CAM telescope module is still operational. We have pointed it at the road. The pothole is visible from space. It is also visible from street level. It is visible from everywhere. NASA found a wormhole. We found a pothole. Both are still here.
