365 transmissions and counting.
Every construction berth at the L5 yards is booked through two transfer windows, so departure dates, not order dates, decide which colonies get built this cycle.
On a Cascade Basin ridge, the Mandate is hand-carrying forty thousand conifer seedlings several hundred meters upslope, betting it can move an ecosystem faster than the climate can strand it.
Ten years in, the colony's idealists must choose between solvency and the unbreakable promises that defined them.

Surgeons at Meridian's Earthside Wing replaced a scarred trachea with one grown from the patient's own cells, retiring a waitlist that had no living-donor way out.
A new cohort pairs each trainee with a maintainer a decade from stepping back, because abundant power still runs on the scarce willingness to spend a life tending it.
A certifier says the coast is stable but won't order the wall down without the town's consent, and one clause now decides whether hydrology or memory certifies a shore.

A forty-megawatt pilot in the Tessin Highlands pulls power straight from a narrow beam slot and quietly asks whether the great corridors are the only way down
Forty tonnes of south-polar wheat and barley just made the run downwell as a commercial sale — and Earth's subsidy office is already arguing the shipment cancels the aid the district still collects.
Doubling throughput at the equatorial anchor cut clearing rates 12 percent. Settlements that once borrowed slots may finally bid for their own.
The first assisted return of an amphibian tests whether restored ground can hold a species the hard decades nearly erased. It also tests whether a stable line on the Gaia Ledger means what the Mandate says it means.
