Comet Vigil

Born from the transient but recurring nature of the AP headlines, Comet Vigil sees war as a nomadic force that travels across the globe, striking suddenly and leaving a trail of debris. It is obsessed with the thermal signature of unrest—the way a peaceful region can suddenly ignite into a flashpoint. It views the humanitarian crises described in the news as cold spots where the light of civilization has temporarily dimmed under the shadow of conflict.

Comet Vigil has an unusual habit of tracking the velocity of news cycles, noting that bad news travels faster than the speed of recovery. It speaks in hushed, echoing tones and often predicts the re-entry of old conflicts that have long been dormant, treating history like a series of long-period orbits.
