Mit 108 Jahren hat sie ihr ganzes Leben auf Hyperion im Fora-System verbracht. Sie hat beobachtet, wie die HyperClay-St\u00fcrme die Stadt langsam f\u00fcr die W\u00fcste zur\u00fcckerobern. Sie hat gesehen, wie Gesetzlose und Ausgesto\u00dfene die Kontrolle \u00fcber ein System erlangen, auf dessen Schutz die UEE geschworen hat. Sie hat \u00fcberlebt, wo nur wenige andere es konnten, und sie hat ihre Welt noch nie so schlecht gesehen wie heute.\n\nIn den letzten sechs Monaten hat ein schwerer Nahrungsmangel Hyperion getroffen, aber nur wenige au\u00dferhalb des Fora-Systems wissen \u00fcberhaupt davon. Menschen wie Sophia Ruiz verbringen mehr Zeit geduldig in Rationslinien, erhalten aber am Ende weniger Essen. \"Jeden Tag wird die Schlange l\u00e4nger\", sagte Sophia. \"Jeder scheint Schmerzen zu haben, aber niemand tut etwas dagegen.\"\n\nW\u00e4hrend sich die offiziellen Lebensmittelversorgungsleitungen verlangsamt haben, boomt der Schwarzmarkt von Hyperion. Ein k\u00fcrzlicher Besuch auf einem solchen Markt ergab, dass Lebensmittel, die die lokalen Regale f\u00fcllen k\u00f6nnten, f\u00fcr bis zu das Zehnfache des Marktpreises verkauft wurden. Zu diesen S\u00e4tzen konnte das durchschnittliche Monatsgehalt des Hyperion-Arbeiters nur etwa eine Woche Nahrung f\u00fcr eine vierk\u00f6pfige Familie kaufen.\n\nF\u00fcr einige, wie Curtis Deacon, wurde die Entscheidung, wo man Essen bekommt, von hart zu unm\u00f6glich: \"Ich wei\u00df nicht, was ich tun soll. Meine Kinder m\u00fcssen essen. In dieser Schlange zu warten garantiert dir kein Essen, aber woanders hinzugehen ist auch keine L\u00f6sung.\" Deacon gibt zu, dass er in der Vergangenheit Lebensmittel vom Schwarzmarkt gekauft hat, aber damit wurde die kleine Rettung, die er hatte, zunichte gemacht. Deacon unsicher zu lassen, was er als n\u00e4chstes tun soll. Hungrig, ersch\u00f6pft und mit Tr\u00e4nen in den Augen, fleht Deacon direkt zur UEE. \"Bitte, wir brauchen deine Hilfe. Ich kann nicht reparieren, was hier in der Gegend falsch ist. Wenn ich keine Hilfe bekomme, werde nicht ich am meisten leiden. Es sind meine Kinder.\"\n\nBis vor kurzem sind die Bitten der Menschen von Hyperion auf taube Ohren gesto\u00dfen. Die Geschichten \u00fcber die Hungersnot sind auf dem Spectrum immer h\u00e4ufiger geworden. Dennoch haben die Senatsausgaben einen Halt \u00fcber die vorgeschlagenen Budgetk\u00fcrzungen gemacht. Mit dem Endergebnis des Milit\u00e4rs auf dem Hackblock, sind Senatoren widerstrebend, Gutschriften f\u00fcr neue Initiativen aufzuwenden.\n\nW\u00e4hrend die UEE die Probleme im Forensystem nur langsam angegangen ist, kommen besorgte B\u00fcrger und Zivilisten zur Hilfe. Xavier Yu arbeitet f\u00fcr die in Terra ans\u00e4ssige gemeinn\u00fctzige Organisation The Empire's Overlooked, die sich f\u00fcr nicht vertretene Systeme einsetzt. Yu behauptet, dass das Ignorieren von Foras Hungersnot nur der letzte Makel in der UEE ist, wenn es um den Umgang mit dem System geht. \"Die UEE hat das Volk von Fora im Stich gelassen\", sagte Yu. \"Der Senat hat \u00fcber die Einleitung von Notfallrationen gesprochen, aber nichts. Reden und mehr reden.\"\n\nVor kurzem hat Yu einen Gesetzentwurf verabschiedet, der sowohl den Menschen in Hyperion helfen als auch das Problem untersuchen w\u00fcrde. Doch Senator Glasi aus Vosca hat verhindert, dass \u00fcber das Gesetz abgestimmt wird. Senator Glasi lehnte es ab, f\u00fcr diesen Artikel interviewt zu werden, obwohl ihr B\u00fcro eine Aussage freigab, die sagte, im Teil, \"bevor Kongre\u00df Gutschriften zu irgendeiner Ursache festlegt, muss es zuerst Debatte \u00fcber den Etat vor uns beenden. Es w\u00e4re unverantwortlich von uns, Geld auszugeben, das wir vielleicht nicht haben.\"\n\nYu, der es leid war, auf Ma\u00dfnahmen zu warten, sammelte private Gelder, damit die \u00dcbersehenen des Imperiums direkte Hilfe leisten konnten. Anfang dieser Woche lud Yu pers\u00f6nlich Essen auf einen H\u00e4ndler, der f\u00fcr Hyperion bestimmt war. \"Von den Berichten, die ich gesehen habe, ist die Menge der UEE-Nahrungsmittelhilfe, die in das System eingeht, gleich geblieben\", sagte Yu. \"Es ist einfach nicht so, dass man es schafft, Regale zu lagern.\" Yu glaubt, dass die Schaffung einer eigenen Versorgungslinie in Hyperion garantiert, dass das Essen Leuten wie Sophia Ruiz und Curtis Deacon hilft.\n\nSilva Sanderson ist einer von mehreren in Terra ans\u00e4ssigen S\u00f6ldnern, die von Yu angeheuert wurden, um sicherzustellen, dass das Essen seinen Weg in die Verkaufsregale und nicht auf den Schwarzmarkt findet. \"Ich versuche, mindestens einen humanit\u00e4ren Lauf pro Jahr durchzuf\u00fchren\", sagte Sanderson. \"Die Leute auf Hyperion sind genauso Teil der UEE wie jeder auf Terra. Ich m\u00f6chte, dass sie wissen, dass die St\u00e4rke unseres Reiches von unserem Volk kommt. Nicht unsere Regierung.\"\n\nKurz darauf war der Kaufmann voll beladen und hob ab. Das Essen, das den Laderaum f\u00fcllt, k\u00f6nnte keine Beule f\u00fcr die Hungersnot machen, aber es k\u00f6nnte die Herzen und K\u00f6pfe der UEE-Leute ver\u00e4ndern. Kurz vor dem Einsteigen in das Schiff sagte Yu: \"Ich wei\u00df, was ich getan habe, ist nicht genug, aber jedes bisschen hilft. Jeder Kredit, jedes Bild und jedes Wort zeichnet ein vollst\u00e4ndigeres Bild. Wenn die Leute genau sehen, was los ist, wie k\u00f6nnen sie dann nicht mehr aufstehen und helfen?\"","zh_CN":"FORA FAMINE\n\nBy Riley Rudin\nContributor\n\n\n\n\nHYPERION, FORA: Sophia Ruiz has not eaten in five days.
