Proposal: Meteor Shower

“Unidentified Material” is a Substance with no Market Value on any Moon.
Add one container with storage “2 Unidentified Material” to Orbit E8.
A major meteor shower has struck Callisto, taking all communications offline between Shuttles and the Traffic Warden. As the Traffic Warden struggles to get everything back under control and restore the data that has been lost in the shower, a strange substance completely escapes his notice. It drifts away from Callisto and settles in orbit around Europa…

Is the “taking all communications offline” in the flavor text a reference to the three day gap that occurred in play?

Yeah, this was made to create in-game consequences for the real-life downtime.

Actually, I don’t think this is going to have any effect when it enacts, because the opening line (”“Unidentified Material” is a Substance with no Market Value on any Moon.”) doesn’t do anything. If you want a statement to affect the game in an ongoing manner, it has to be a rule. (From the glossary, “Once a proposal has been enacted, it can have no further direct effect on the gamestate.”)
Since a Container “has an Attribute, Storage, that is an amount of Fuel or a Substance”, and “Unidentified Material” is not defined anywhere as being a Substance, the Container cannot exist.
Sylphrena:
The opening line was meant to explain my interpretation of the ruleset (which I put into a CfJ) and not actually intended to have any real effect.
That said, it occurs to me that assuming that my interpretation of the rules is the right one is probably a bad assumption (hence the CfJ).
Bucky:
There’s already a CfJ about whether this works, and it isn’t even enacted yet.
and suggest a repropose.
