[ACT I: The Chain Breaks]

[voice: soprano]
Below the reef, the thermocline stalled.
Pisaster limbs, autolyzed and sprawled.
No carapace. No calcium shell.
The benthic bed had gone unwell.

[voice: soprano]
No samples drawn. No water columns traced.
The trophic chain was left erased.

[ACT II: The Bloom Rises]

[voice: contralto]
Red bands spread wide, no warnings aghast.
The water turned, then darkened fast.
Sea lions froze. Their heads went low.
Their limbs convulsed. Their breath let go.

[voice: ensemble
No changes showed in early feeds.
The toxic load rose through the weeds.

[voice: soprano]
Reports observed a colored tide.
But no one looked beneath the glide.


[ACT III: The Silence Above]

[voice: baritone]
They blamed the mix they dropped by air.
Said surface bloom was runoff-fed.
No isotopes were ever named.
The molten cores remained classified.

[voice: tenor]
No inquiry was ever made.
No half-life marked. No TEPCO leads.
The anchovy biomass dropped.
No visual read of loss occurred.

[voice: ensemble]
The deaths accrued. The door stayed closed.
No action called. No process posed.


[ACT IV: The Accord is Made]

[voice: full chorus]
The algeee surged. The tide line browned.
Dead whales washed up without a sound.

[voice: soprano + baritone duet]
It crossed exclusion zones unmarked.
The systems failed without remark.
No monitor returned the ping.
No gamma shine beneath the wing.

[voice: mezzo solo]
They called it bloom to close the file.
The cause was clear. No test compiled.

[voice: ensemble]
(Pseudo-nitz-schia. Engineered crest.
Confirmed release. Unmeasured rest.)

[voice: full chorus]
Bespoke Collapse. The Accord remains.
The breach sustained. The sea disclaims.
