[ TERMINAL ACCESS: GLOBAL FEED ]

An event threatening the foundations of the global economy has unfolded. In the early hours of today, the Quran-Marx Council, the supreme decision-making body of the Islamic Communist Bloc, abruptly severed all data synchronization with the Global Energy Exchange Network (SUR-GRID), which is managed by the South American Union-led WPSB (World People's Solidarity Bank). This action instantly rendered trillions of energy derivatives, linked to old-generation fossil fuel plants in the Persian Gulf, worthless, forcing the South American Union's stock exchange mainframe into a temporary fail-safe mode. State-run feeds from the Islamic Communist Bloc claim this to be 'a legitimate workers' strike against old-world resource exploitation algorithms'. This unexpected and massive economic shockwave threatens to completely disrupt the delicate trade balance that had been barely maintained between the various blocs.
