➔ INITIATIVE ANNOUNCEMENT

ATTENTION ALL TRANSPORTS.

ATTENTION ALL TRANSPORTS.

We have been compromised. Pertinent information has been leaked to the United Earth. You must be vigilant. I repeat: You must be vigilant. We have reason to believe that the United Earth will retaliate against us, but we do not know what actions they will take or when those actions will take place.

If you see any suspicious activity, please contact us immediately. It is for your safety and the safety of the citizens of Exsilium that we plead your vigilance. In the event of an emergency, you will hear an alarm sound.

We will stand our guard and we will be available at all times for your needs. Do not hesitate to seek an Initiative member out if you see or hear anything. We will be stationed at each corner in the city from this moment forward.

Thank you,

The Initiative

[ note: There will be a single bomb dropped just outside the Initiative Hold (changed from being in the Marketplace/Courtyard so as to not interfere with the Transport log), close enough to be loud and noticeable around 8pm EST game time. Characters are totally free to react to this happening, and the Initiative will have made a secondary announcement on the Network at that time for people to come and find them.

There will be a log up tomorrow for the bulk of the event to take place! This is just the kick-off! ]

[ This is Adam. This is Adam furiously trying to contact you assholes right now and failing because wtf is happening?? SECURITY?? PLANS?? HELLO???????? HE'S TRYING TO WORK WITH AND ADVISE YOU GUYS AND THEN SHIT LIKE THIS HAPPENS RRRRRRRGH why is everyone around here so fucking incompetent

OKAY FINE how about he just approaches one of those Initiative guys that are said to be stationed around the city, what now huh. ]

Hey.

( Standing on a corner as they were, this Initiative member doesn't seem entirely surprised to be approached. At second glance it is definitely a she, who looks... eager to help, if not shaken by the events taking place. )

Yes?

( Her voice is low, guarded; but she'd be guarded with just about anyone at this point. )

[ Well that's cool but Adam doesn't care. Also he sounds mildly pissed, which already means he's really pissed because he usually tries to remain composed to the point where he comes off as apathetic. ]

What the hell is that all about? That 'warning' of yours is totally out of the blue. If something's about to happen and you know, don't just tell people to 'remain vigilant'! [ hmph. ]

I demand to be filled in on the details of this situation we have apparently, right now. So we can come up with a security plan that's actually efficient.

[ don't make him use pheromones on you lady to get his point across. ]

[ She can't help but look shocked, and she narrows her eyes. ]

Our warning was as urgent as we could make it. We did not have prior knowledge with which to work.

We have expressed our details as they are written—there is nothing more explicit at this time.

[ heh ]

{ ooc; WOW OH MY GOD apparently when i turned off notifs for a few other posts it decided to not notify me about this thread so that's cool i am so, so sorry }

[ Do not hesitate to seek an Initiative member out if you see or hear anything.

Oh, and he did. The resounding explosion jolted him from an originally lax position, leaving him gripping for his gun and making a beeline for the nearest corner of the city, ears high and alert.

Already, things were heating up.

Somehow, given his past, he found this an apt welcoming gift. ]

Shadow! You there? That blast shook up the whole neighborhood! Which end of town are you headed to?

[Of COURSE Sonic assumed Shadow would grab his gun and head out immediately. Because, you know, that's what Shadow did.]

It is impossible to miss it. I am heading northeast. Get to the Initiative stations immediately and stay away from the explosion site.

[ That could potentially be dangerous for both of them and accomplish nothing. Lives may have been lost in that explosion, sure, but as horrible as it was, he wasn't thinking about that now.

Maybe if he adhered to this Initiative, he could leave sooner rather than later... ]

[Sonic would have answered but Shadow gets a feedback of Tail's cry for help on another line.

--Sorry Shadow! Gotta go! [WHAT WAS THAT YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT STAYING AWAY FROM THE EXPLOSION SITE? HE CAN'T HEAR YOU CUZ HE'S ON HIS WAY TO THE EXPLOSION SITE NOW.]

[ ah

... welp. Their funeral? Although, frankly, going to their aide is awfully tempting...

...

No, not yet. He'd accompany them later. There's a time for everything and now is not that time. ]

[Maybe he's cursed, or something. Is there any scientific basis behind a curse? If there wasn't yet then he's starting to think he's supplying empirical fucking evidence for it. YOU'D THINK HE COULD BE EMPLOYED AT A LAB FOR AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE IT GOES TO HELL AGA--]

*CRAAASH!* [Goes the underground tunneled hallway ahead of him as it collapses. Of course he was at work when the bomb went off, and of course it weakened the structural supports for the labs beneath it. He'll be spending the next few hours suited up and escorting personnel out of the labs.]

[Thanx for that early morning heart attack, UE.

Rin is out in the marketplace around that time, picking up a morning cup of tea. She wastes the lot of it as she drops her cup at the sound of the boom, and swears as hot water splashes back on her.]

Shjt! Ah - what just happened-?

[WHAT JUST HAPPEN, that blast shook Tails out of working mode near the hangars, he was near that blast initiate freak out mode oh crap where's Sonic HE NEEDS TO FIND HIM NOW.]

SONIC! Are you there!?

[Afwetuoijonc what what oh my god that's Tails and he's in trouble oh CRAP he said he was going to be in the hangar all day right on top of that explosion--]

TAILS! Are you okay? I'm on my way over!

[AND HE MEANS IT YOU CAN COUNT THE SECONDS. The hangar is a bit of a mess, pieces of concrete scattered everywhere and girders buckled from the blast.] TAAAILS!

Sonic! I'm over here! [Tails was trying his best to avoid the falling pieces of debris that were coming his way from the blast.]

Hold on, buddy!

[He springs into a dyanamo of momentum, kicks one falling piece of debris off-course and hits the ground with enough speed to scoop his fox buddy up and carry him to relative safety outside. Of course he sets him down immediately, but that doesn't stop him from fussing. What? Tails is the Achilles heel to his sense of cool.]

Are you alright? Nothing broken?

[Oh gods, he hoped his inventions were alright. He didn't have time to check the hangar or anything. But then he realized that this wasn't going to be the end. Whatever happened was related to the message he got just recently.

Others could be harmed. And he was still shaken from just being in that incident.]

Th-thanks, Sonic... I'm fine. But others may be in danger! What's going on anyway? Did the United Earth just...

They got wind of something they didn't like! Everyone's supposed to keep a lookout for who sent it to them!

And yeah, they said that this probably isn't the end of it...

What information?

How was it leaked, and by who?

[He isn't going to say anything since it looks like other Transports will have that covered pretty well. Instead, Alex makes a note to keep an eye on this post.

Looks like that guy with the sunglasses he met in the courtyard was right; these guys are incompetent, and that doesn't sit well with him.]
