A mass holiday.
What followed the announcement that roused the Empire was a sudden and private declaration of a holiday.
Absurd? Maybe. But how could any company claim to be responsible if they forced employees to work on that fateful day? It would look like they had personally blocked their staff from receiving life-saving medical care.
So, aside from critical workplaces that offered triple pay to lure staff into showing up, the majority of companies simply gave up and called it a rest day.
Not that anyone was actually planning on resting.
Who in their right mind would lie down and relax when faced with such a tribulation?
Certainly not the masses furiously exercising their fingers. Certainly not the sleepless employees of Star Net and Star Mall, who had been praying for salvation since yesterday. And definitely not the military, who had an entirely different kind of battlefield ahead of them.
