Event: Abort! Part Two (day 25, Egret). Luggage carriage

[voidtreckermods]

They are on world world#27462947582 for about five hours, helping, ushering people out of the city, fighting monsters, keeping guard. All seems well in the city itself, peaceful even except for the slight panic of people being told to move south.

Wherever they are, north in the desert, travelling through the countryside to the south or still in the city itself they will notice from their peripheral vision a darkening of the sky. Looking up they will see clouds. Strange clouds, appearing in the blue sky out of nowhere.

Their SCA’s start beeping, rapidly, flashing red. The clouds are too weird to be clouds, dark shapes in the sky. It might be that the Voidtreckers heed the warning and tap their SCA to evacuate to the train. It might be that they do not.

If they don’t then there is a moment, a moment of absolute stillness as those around them notice the shapes. A confused pause. Children stop their chatter, people stop their complaining, even the monsters seem to sense something and pause in their attacks.

The remaining voidtreckers are yanked away, even without pressing their SCA, they glow gold and disappear.

They all appear in the luggage carriage and not even a second later, with no warning the train lurches, flinging everyone off their feet as it enters the void.

It’s not really easy to tell speed in the void, but they will get the sense that they are moving fast. Faster than before, leaving that world and whatever those shapes were behind.

As before the connection comes easily. But unlike the last times she has tried, where the presence that was the train was distant and holding back this time it is close.

Fear floods into Nita's mind, pure fear. Almost primal in its intensity.

It is only for a moment and then she is expelled backwards, it is enough to make her physically stumble. The connection is lost and she will have a splitting headache for a good while.

Well, THAT'S no good!

Nita falls to the ground, her own mind briefly blanking out-

Then the peridexis asks, /You have fought these before, then?/

It turns its attention back to Nita - it can only help her if she's conscious, after all, and she isn't quite gone right now - but it is listening, a steady presence, attempting to ground and calm the train.

The peridexis gets a backlash as well, though it might not effect it as much as Nita it is a stronger push, a lashing out of the mind, to the mind. The connection is broken leaving the peridexis to tend to Nita.
