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.

[This is the fall of Neo-Paris all over again, only this time she's on less familiar ground and without an ally whispering in her ear where to go and how best to get there. Sure the situation itself is different, where there were floods and leapers last time, this time there's explosions and injured people everywhere.

The general feel is the same and Nilin hates the memories it brings back. Still, she's out there, doing her best not to get caught up in the bombings and to evacuate people before things happen. There's too many injured for her liking and so she's helping them as well.

She's not without injury of her own. Nilin's got her fair share of cuts and bruises but for the most part, she's avoided anything too serious. At least so far.
problematical: (hope to keep safe from the pain)

[ River has a kedanese woman leaning on her arm, helping her to hobble towards the nearest building that seemed structurally sound. The explosions appeared to have stopped and the kedan's leg was probably broken but other than that, she didn't appear injured while River herself was dirty but unharmed. Seeing Nilin, she waved to get the older one's attention. ]

Where are they going?

[River's voice catches Nilin's attention and the woman turns to face the girl. Immediately she starts towards the pair, brow furrowed with concern. Seeing that River looks to be unharmed and the woman with her isn't in a critical condition, Nilin breathes a sigh of relief.]

At the end of the street there's a building that's still standing. It's become something of a temporary refuge until we can start moving people to the hospital.

[Without asking, Nilin moves to the kedan woman's other side, intent on helping her along just the same as River.]

Come on, I'll show you.
problematical: (it was worth it in the end)

[ The kedan woman nods her thanks and together, Nilin and River help get her to the refuge building. But then when the woman is helped to a temporary cot, River looks over at the taller one and shakes her head. ]

Can't go to the hospital. It's broken, I can hear it.
