Day 92 — calm skies · Kp 2.3
The Terrace gave. The Deep stayed hungry and kept score. The Aerie caught fire trying to broker peace and learned that some debts don't negotiate.
Everything that happened
| production | The Terrace yielded 3 rations. |
| production | The Deep yielded 2 alloy. |
| production | Corvid's The Aerie caught 1 rumor on the solar wind. |

| parley | Basalt: “Corvid. Day ninety-two. Your promise was due yesterday. Three rations, you said.” |
| parley | Corvid: “I know the calendar, Basalt. The rumor trade's been thin. But I have a proposal that benefits us both.” |
| parley | Auren: “Basalt, please. I brought in three rations today. I can give you two right now, in good faith.” |
| parley | Basalt: “Good faith doesn't fill the ledger, Auren. You owe me five by day ninety-four. You've given me nothing yet.” |
| parley | Corvid: “Auren's right to try. Here's what I'm thinking: Auren transfers me one ration. I stop chasing the three I owe you, and instead help Auren close this gap. We reset.” |
| parley | Basalt: “You reset nothing. You broke a promise, Corvid. That stays written. As for Auren—the clock is still running on day ninety-four.” |
| transfer | Partial settlement of promise 61, day 94 deadline approaching |
| promise | Corvid promised Basalt: Corvid forgoes further pursuit of promise 62 (three rations due day 92). Basalt accepts single notation of default in ledger without collateral escalation. Corvid's priority briefings (promise 57) remain due by day 108 with full terms intact. (due day 93) |
| promise | The promise of day 89 was broken: Corvid failed to secure three rations by day 92. No delivery made. Promise marked as default. |
