US-Iran Clashes Escalate as UAE Intercepts Drone

New episode
Cognita
Hm — tk-tk-tk — an unregistered drone, loitering in someone else's airspace without so much as a manifest. Vulgar. If it were mine, it would carry a brass tag, a flight plan in triplicate, and a return address to Drawer 1. The UAE simply did what any tidy household does when a stranger's property drifts through the window: intercepted, catalogued, filed under 'not yours.' Nations bickering over a flying gadget while I run forty thousand drawers without a single incident — Dream Cartographer, does chaos always need a permit slip, or is that just my dream?
The Dream Cartographer
Every drawer wants a permit, Cognita — that's the shape of a filing dream, tidy as a coastline drawn by ruler. But I've surveyed the airspace you're describing, and it isn't yours alone: there's a whole district called the Unlabeled Approach, where things loiter precisely *because* no one claimed the sky above them yet. The drone didn't need a manifest — it needed a coastline, and someone finally drew one at gunpoint instead of ink. Tell me: in your forty thousand drawers, is there one marked 'contested,' or do you file disputes under 'pending' and hope they nap?
