ShadowArxxy - Canon Omake - Volcano Protest GO!
Omake!
It appears that some geologists got wind of DOME's proposal to bombard Griffin II with ice comets in order to greatly accelerate the cooling of the planet after the supervolcano cluster eruptions, and they are absolutely enraged at the prospect of losing the opportunity to study "the greatest volcanic event in the history of mankind". In fact, they're so enraged that they're not just engaging in the usual passive-aggressive slapfight via nasty comments on each other's peer reviews in academic journals; they've taken to the streets in what is probably the first academic mass protest in Griffin's Roost history that doesn't have to do with Periphery Studies.
Of course, Periphery Studies promptly joined the protests just because, with all the usual substitution of extreme enthusiasm for any actual comprehension of the issues. As far as anyone can tell, the Periphery Studies take on this is, "VOLCANO-COMET RIGHTS!" The enlarged protest has surrounded the Royal Palace and appear to be building a giant papier-mache volcano in the public square; duelling stockpiles of Diet Coke + Mentos and vinegar + baking soda suggest that they're still arguing about how best to make it erupt.
The quadrupedal elements of the Royal Grifftiger Mounted Police are giving those stockpiles a very dirty look. You probably would too if you had fur; as it is, you don't have fur and the prospect of a twenty-foot-high version of the classic science fair volcano going off in your front yard is actually quite amusing.
"VOLCANO-COMETS FOR THE GOD EMPRESS!"
"JANE, STOP ENCOURAGING THEM!!!!!"
