A peculiar weather event stunned residents across Veridion last night as rain containing traces of phosphorescent chemicals fell across multiple districts. Dubbed “Neon Rain” by citizens, the phenomenon caused streets and rooftops to glow in vivid hues of green, blue, and purple. While visually stunning, initial tests conducted by independent scientists revealed that the chemicals might have leaked from Nexarch’s Orbital Refinery during a routine offloading process.
Nexarch has yet to release an official statement, though environmental groups are already calling for an immediate investigation. Some residents have taken to social media to celebrate the event, with posts showcasing glowing street art and rain-splattered clothing. However, others remain concerned about the long-term environmental impact of the chemicals, which remain unidentified.
“It’s beautiful, but we can’t ignore the risks,” said one environmental activist. “If Nexarch is responsible, they need to be held accountable.”
