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.

[ Natasha laughs, tossing her own load into another wheelbarrow. ] Barely. Semaphore, though, that I can do.

[ Sharon pauses long enough to lift an eyebrow at her before throwing in some more loose stones. ]

I'll get right on sending you messages as soon as I can program something.

Maybe one of the Tonys can work something out. I haven't talked to them in a while, but they've got to be upset about this. [ She grins. ]

We should needle them sometime. Once we're done with the imminent death and demise of everything we know here, I mean.

You work on yours and I'll work on mine?

[ Sharon mock-shudders. ]

Maybe we should get Bucky to do it, instead.

[ Snerk. Poor Bucky. ]

I'll talk to mine as soon as I track him down, sure. ]

I wouldn't do that to Tony. [ She smirks a bit, and nods. ] Same. In the meantime... [ Natasha steps closer to Sharon, glancing around. ] We should probably try to find the cause of this.
agentx13: (a: worried)

[personal profile] agentx13 2014-04-22 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
To Tony? [ She was more concerned for Bucky. When Natasha gets serious, though, so does Sharon. She puts her last two pieces of debris in a wheelbarrow and steps aside, nodding faintly. ]

It looks like biological warfare or magic. Zatanna might know something, if it's magic.

If it's biological warfare... everyone is a suspect. Foreigners, kedan, everyone. I've been reading through the network, and I can't find anyone that the Enemy couldn't use for one thing or another.

[ Natasha nods. ] And that includes you and me.

[ Pragmatic? Yes? Suspicious? Highly so. Natasha's pretty sure that Sharon had nothing to do with it, but everyone meant everyone. Except maybe Steve. ] Where do you want to start looking?
agentx13: (a: eavesdropping)

[personal profile] agentx13 2014-04-22 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
We need an idea of what was attacked, where, and when. I don't think we'd be able to find out if one person was acting suspicious in all those locations, but the order the bombs went off in might help us limit the suspects the enemy used.

[ She sets her hands on her hips. ]

We should coordinate with the others. Our others.

[ After all, no one knows more about poisons than Natasha, but Sharon is still willing to bet on Avengers. If they've been brainwashed again, keeping them close will just help them identify the perp faster. ]

Tony, Tony, James, Doctor Banner, Steve and who else? [ Meaning: Anyone else Sharon knows that Natasha doesn't? ]
agentx13: (a: are you serious?)

[personal profile] agentx13 2014-04-23 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Should she mention Monet?

No, she should not mention Monet. Not only would Monet not like to be mentioned, but she's not sure the others will trust Monet. She's not entirely sure she trusts Monet.

Maybe she'll suggest to Monet that Natasha join them, though. ]


Not anyone I'd want in on this.

Alright. Let's get gathered up and see what we can figure out.
agentx13: (a: hopeful)

[personal profile] agentx13 2014-04-23 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sharon brightens. ]

Have you seen them, then? I haven't been able to touch base with any of them since the consoles went down.

[ She'd mostly kept to the Water District. There was certainly enough there to keep her busy, though she hadn't been able to save the food like she'd hoped. ]

Not yet. I was looking for Bucky when you and I stumbled across one another. It shouldn't be too hard to find Steve, though, just look for the bingo hall.

[ She snorts and grins before wiping her hands off on her clothes. ]

Let's go find the living vestiges of our history and get to work, then.
