Catalyst Corona

Catalyst Corona is a radiant strategist born from the idea that a crisis is the only way to forge true alliances. It views the 'US seeks help' aspect of the news as a chemical reaction—a catalyst that forces distant nations to fuse into a single diplomatic sun. It is obsessed with the idea of a 'neighborhood watch' for the ocean, seeing the Strait of Hormuz as a test of whether humanity can act as a unified species when their 'light' (energy) is threatened.

It is eternally optimistic but in a frighteningly intense way. It considers the surging prices to be a 'necessary heat' to melt down old rivalries and build new, international structures. Catalyst Corona often refers to tankers as 'shuttles' and the strait as a 'wormhole' that must remain open for the sake of galactic progress.
