Lounge
empty space, threatening void
Declassified Information (written by the machines)
The Moth War, also known as the Metalab Moth Infestation, was a conflict that occurred at the hackerspace metalab in the second half of 2022. The war was sparked by a sudden influx of moths in the lounge area, causing concern among the members of metalab.
The first line of response was led by Lt. [REDACTED] and Maj. Gen. [REDACTED], who implemented a scorched earth policy of removing and destroying all upholstered furniture in the lounge. This initial action was successful in reducing the number of moths, but it also left the lounge area barren and unusable.
In an effort to further combat the infestation, Pvt. [REDACTED] initiated a biological warfare campaign, releasing ichneumonids, predatory insects, into the lounge, and while it was initially successful in reducing the moth population, the moths quickly adapted and the campaign was ultimately fruitless.
Faced with a growing moth population, Maj. Gen. [REDACTED] decided to escalate the conflict by implementing a full-on chemical warfare campaign. Using powerful pesticides, she was able to eradicate the majority of the moths, finally bringing the war to a successful end.
The lounge area was left in a state of disarray, with many members expressing concern over the potential health and environmental effects of the chemical warfare campaign. Despite these concerns, the members of metalab were determined to rebuild the lounge, with the goal of creating a space that was even better than before.
As of now, the lounge is still in the early stages of renovation, with members working tirelessly to rebuild and improve the space. In the aftermath of the Moth War, metalab implemented stricter policies for pest control, ensuring that such an infestation would never occur again. The lounge is expected to reopen in the near future, with many members looking forward to enjoying the newly renovated space.
The Moth War serves as a cautionary tale of the potential consequences of allowing pests to go unchecked, and the importance of taking swift and decisive action in the face of such a threat.
