To the west across the Atlantic, UN humanitarian teams continue to sweep the North American continent. Progress remains glacial, hampered by the extremely energetic radio emissions from the Cincinnati and Denver spatial anomalies. The construction of Higgs mining facilities within the anomalies are similarly hindered, but finally after a year, mining is ready to proceed in the Denver Spatial Anomaly, with the Cincinnati facilities projected to be complete within the coming year. With the establishment of the Sacramento and Anchorage Arcologies on the west coast in conjunction with the construction of the Atlanta, Washington and Montreal Arcologies on the east coast, relief forces are finding it easier than ever to move across the continent. Despite the devastation as teams skirt the edges of the areas directly affected by Impact, more and more surviving enclaves of humans are discovered day after day. The surviving population is above even best case projections, such that it is actually beyond the capabilities of the extant UN taskforce to support. The situation is not regarded as urgent however, as the discovered enclaves tended to be in good spirits, having survived long enough to stabilise. The passing of UN resolution 121, colloquially named the Manifest Destiny document, will vastly increase the size of the UN commitment to the North American continent and formally declares that humans will once again unite the two coastlines of North America, severed by Impact in all meaningful manner.
In somewhat more amusing news, although unconfirmed, it is said that the discovered enclaves are already conspiring with each other to host a long delayed election for the 45th president of the United States of America.
