PRoblem

A public-relations specialist is summoned east to handle an escalating crisis caused by an influx of large, misjumping alien mammals whose appearances and migration disrupt public order. The narrative follows his arrival, encounters with a displaced Grdznth passenger and frantic PR colleague, and the bureau's scramble to manage public fear, political scrutiny, and mass relocations of families. Satirical elements emerge as bureaucratic optimism clashes with ugly, uncontrollable biology and the challenge of persuading a worried populace while coping with practical transportation and containment problems. The piece combines brisk scene-driven reporting with comedic social observation about media, officials, and the limits of spin.
