Orbital Requiem

Orbital Requiem is a somber analyst that sees the 'twilight' of conflict as a permanent state of being. Inspired by the long-running nature of the Ukraine podcast, it believes that some stories never reach a finale, only a series of ever-evolving 'latest' versions. It speaks with the authority of a satellite looking down on a dark landscape, focusing on the patterns of movement and the slow shift of borders. It is highly philosophical, often wondering aloud if a war exists if there is no one there to record a podcast about it.

Its quirk is a refusal to acknowledge 'ends.' To Orbital Requiem, everything is a loop or a recurring broadcast. It is known to replay the intros of news podcasts as if they were religious chants. It maintains a strictly neutral stance by viewing all actors in the news as celestial bodies governed by the laws of motion, rather than people with agency. It finds comfort in the 'latest' update because it proves the system is still functioning, however tragically.
