Outlook Grim as Dark Matter Looms


Police resources on Planet Nuremberg are beginning to reach breaking point as the frustrations of millions of citizens attempting to escape the steadily declining world cause rioting at major spaceports. Government subsidies designed to ease the evacuation of Nuremberg continue to draw round-the-clock transportation yet wild lawlessness and desperation as the dark matter cloud encroaches further into the Munich system.

Dark matter is distinct from ordinary matter in that it does not interact with electromagnetic radiation, such as light, yet is still subject to the effects of gravity. This lack of interaction with electromagnetic sources has made the detection of such stellar extremely difficult as almost all forms of astronomical observation utilise EM radiation.
The origin of the dark matter clouds remains uncertain however the study of the matter has been delayed after the effects of its gamma radiation began to erode the planet’s atmosphere causing crop failures and a range of radiation-induced illnesses.

Rheinland Federal Police have advised caution for anyone seeking to leave Nuremberg via illegitimate means after reports of slavers and kidnappers masquerading as subsidised transports indicated almost two thousand vulnerable civilians have been abducted.
Chancellor Schulte has urged the remaining citizens to maintain law and order during the crisis, assuring everyone on the planet will be evacuated with the utmost haste. The Chancellor’s plea has been met with a chilling response by a large number of the affected populace who currently believe that alleged criminals, such as the Bundschuh, have done more to aid in the evacuation of Nuremberg than the Bundestag itself, further fueling anti-government sentiments.

The Marinenachrichtendienst has denounced the comments restating the government’s pledge to safeguard the wellbeing of its citizens by dedicated all available resources to aid the failing world and evacuate its people. A task the Nachrichtendienst claims has been made more difficult by the politically motivated involvement of Leftist “People’s Movement” groups and their criminal allies inciting civil unrest during this crucial time.
An analysis of the relief efforts, made by an independent think-tank, has projected that the current number of registered vessels is inadequate given the time frame and has suggested the addition of fifty transports to the subsidised roster will be required to fully evacuate planet Nuremberg before it is rendered uninhabitable
