Event | Console Crash Chaos | Phase One

Characters: ALL!
Date: April 17-30, 2014
Location: Keeliai
Situation: In an unexpected and bold attack by Malicant, the console system is completely shut down while food and supply locations all around the city are targeted by bombings.
Warnings/Rating: Explosions! Possible descriptions of related aftermaths, injuries, death, etc.

Shortly after eight in the morning of the 17th, the consoles experience a strange glitching effect. They'll display 15-20 seconds of static, interrupting anything being done on them at the time, before going utterly dark. No power, no signal, completely offline even to detection of their normal bio-mechanical signatures. No amount of energy influx will get them going again, though taking them apart (or trying to) will still cause them to melt into goo.

Within minutes of the console shutdown, explosions will begin ripping through Keeliai. The bombs are all timed as close to simultaneous as coordinating a city-wide attack can be, with many going off within seconds of each other, throwing the thriving morning rush into chaos. They tear into businesses and across public spaces, collapsing walls and blowing piles of debris into the streets. Places of high traffic quickly become evident as prime targets: marketplaces, hospitals, schools and cafes. The streets take only moments to fill with panicking, screaming kedan trying to pull their injured fellows out of harm's way. All told, the explosions take place across approximately a 10-minute stretch and their explosive yields are fairly high.

In addition to the bombs that cause destruction through their blasts, smaller bombs are going off around the city that specifically target food and water supplies, particularly where large stocks of it were kept such as grocers, produce markets, and the like. Rather than cause mass damage, these explosions spray out a fine mist of spores. Any perishables in their immediate area that are splattered develop an oozing black mold within minutes, eventually breaking down organic substances that turn to foul smelling rot and release their own mist, perpetuating the cycle. While skin contact with the mist doesn't harm, inhaling or ingesting it will produce shakes, fever, vomiting with a cumulative effect that has the potential to be fatal. It is much slower to infect the water supply but the sheer volume of rotting perishables will eventually put enough of the spores to taint water sources, approximately 6-8 hours after the original bombings.

The police force are out as soon as possible and within the hour are helping move the injured to safer locations with Evandau in charge, right in their midst and shoulder to shoulder with his subordinates. Not being stockpiles for any of the apparent targets, many of the Foreigner residences have been left undamaged and, wary of putting them in further danger by collecting large groups in public spaces, Foreigners may even be asked to take in a few individuals or a kedan family.

Despite the number of explosions, there are far more reports of injuries as opposed to casualties. The person or persons (or That Bad Guy) responsible for this were, for this attack at least, more intent on damage than on death.

(In most cases, Shayera would tell normal civilians their help is appreciated, but they need to try and find shelter or some such like that. But right now, Shayera's taking help from anyone. It's not a time to pick and choose who gets to sit on the sidelines and who's the hero. It's not even about that. Shayera turns to Elizabeth, still guiding a few Kidan with minor injuries, but rather in shock.) Great. See if you can get some medical attention to these guys. Or even just a safe place for them to sit down and rest, they need it.

That I can do! [She says proudly. She's pretty decent when it comes to playing doctor- the amount of times she's patched up Booker at this point is astonishing.]

[She motions for the Kedan to follow her.] Come on. We can get you patched up.
wingedwarrior: (HEY I'M FLYING HERE)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2014-04-24 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks a lot! (The building begins to topple, the last of the survivors rushing to the exit as Shayera pulls them out, and rather roughly at that. Yeah, it's gonna leave a mark. There's a quick apology to the Kedan as she gestures for them to go toward Elizabeth.) She'll help you.

(There was now a small group of about fifteen or twenty people from the building, and they couldn't very well stay out in the open.) We need to find a place for them to stay. A building that hasn't, and won't be targeted, where they can take shelter. It'll be easier to care for them. Know any places?

[Elizabeth gasps as the building starts to topple, but Elizabeth stands back with the survivors, administering medical help until Shayera returns.]

No- I came right here from my suite. Likely, anything could be targeted.

Damn. (She helps some of the more terribly injured ones takes seats on the reaming rubble around what used to be a building.) We can't just focus on one group. We need to spread out and get more people out of those buildings, but we need the injured to be safe.

(This is one of the reasons Shayera misses the League. A few could handle medical and relocation, while the others dealt with the more physical problems. Here, there isn't much.)
beunbroken: (not happening nope)

[personal profile] beunbroken 2014-04-26 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course, [She said, frowning slightly. It was clear that Shayera didn't think her capable of much help, but she'd be damned if she wasn't going to help, anyway.]

I'll keep taking care of the survivors. If any of them are able-bodied enough, I can send them to help you.
wingedwarrior: (do I fucking have to)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2014-04-29 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
(That... was actually a pretty good idea. Man, Shayera's rusty at this whole hero thing.) And I can send the injured to you. I just hope I don't wind up sending the injured back to you more damaged than before.

(She holds out her hand for a shake. This girl's got her respect.) Shayera Hol.
beunbroken: (lean over)

[personal profile] beunbroken 2014-04-29 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the perfect plan. I hope you don't, too.

[Elizabeth wastes no time taking her hand.] Elizabeth Comstock-DeWitt. I wish we'd met under better circumstances.
wingedwarrior: (HEY I'M FLYING HERE)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2014-05-01 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'll do what I can to keep them safe. (Shayera would have some quip at the ready, but all she manages is a casual shrug.) For me, this is better circumstances.

Anyway, I'll head out and send the helpers your way, along with any messages if I need you there.
beunbroken: (ahuh yeah wahtever)

[personal profile] beunbroken 2014-05-02 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Elizabeth takes only a moment to ruminate on what Shayera means.]

Thank you. Likewise. Now go, I'll be here.
