Caelwyn
Last week, time stopped turning.
Stacy
This week, it starts hurting.
Caelwyn
Give me an example.
Stacy
A regiment follows orders.
By its own calendar, perfectly.
By Terra’s clock, too early.
Caelwyn
So they disobeyed by obeying.
Stacy
Exactly.
Time has turned obedience into a trap.
Caelwyn
That’s not chaos.
Stacy
No.
Chaos is random.
This is precise.
Caelwyn
What about civilians?
Stacy
Rations desynchronize.
Food exists.
It just arrives in the wrong year.
Caelwyn
Starvation by paperwork.
Stacy
Starvation by doctrine.
The numbers are correct.
The people are not.
Caelwyn
And when they protest?
Stacy
They’re not protesting hunger.
They’re protesting timing.
Which the Imperium cannot admit is broken.
Caelwyn
So guilt appears without crime.
Stacy
Yes.
Time becomes accusatory.
Caelwyn
How do institutions respond?
Stacy
They accelerate.
More audits.
More reports.
More synchronization rituals.
Caelwyn
Which makes it worse.
Stacy
Because speed magnifies error.
And the Imperium only knows one answer to error.
Caelwyn
More control.
Stacy
Until time stops being background.
And becomes a weapon.
