[The towering buildings of Metal take a beating from the flying debris, fires spreading and structures bending under the unexpected influx of heat and projectiles that the satellite cluster rains down. Fire control is of the essence here, with the infrastructure being so tall that response methods effective in other sectors are comparatively stunted here. They are, however, benefitted by the relative availability of technology and inventive minds quickly waking to combat it. Ladders, harnesses, and quick-build structures are spotted quickly as kedan strive to reach trapped companions, put out fires, and retrieve equipment from unstable buildings.
Metal alone scoffs off the assistance of the Foreigners, feeling itself capable of handling this crisis as all that came before have been handled. Cries of theft may be heard for those trying to help get material goods to safety, accusations of interference to those seeking to quell the flames, and cries of sabotage to any trying to strengthen building supports. They are not malicious in this, merely secure in their confidence. Police officers on scene will not take such complaints from the civilians too seriously at the outset, preoccupied with rescue operations and damage assessments.
Meanwhile, there are handfuls of kedan every few blocks that seek to take advantage of the chaos, going after plans and actively sabotaging labs, experiments, or merchant storefronts that feature new technology. They are only tangentially linked to local gangs and, instead, are mainly the more eccentric kedan trying to get a leg up on the competition. And the true criminals? Well, they may require some saving. It turns out that a dozen hastily coordinated looting attempts are going south all over the sector as the looters encounter oddly built boobytraps designed to keep their prying hands away. Everything from mousetraps to cages to electrified netting has been unleashed upon them, so... won't you give them a hand?]
