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

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.

"Oh---of course!" Mami waved her hand sheepishly, letting everyone get to their business.

"But we all have to do what we can, where we can. And protect each other if we can't save ourselves. Right?"

"Quite right," Webmind said.

"Now, do you require medical assistance yourself? Or I can help bring people to the medical carriage if necessary."

Given there were other kinds of healers here, though, it might not be.

"No, I can take care of myself," she answered with a small smile. "If I build stretchers, can you help me with them?"

Turn into a group thread, or handwave them helping people?

"Certainly," Webmind replied - if anything, his voice brightened.

"If this body is useful for anything, carrying things is among them."

Handwave is fine!

"All right. Thank you"

And so she begins her search for the injured, the occasional gold glow from her hand healing minor aches.

"I didn't see you come with us. Were you here waiting?"

"Yes," Webmind said, moving to and fro as quietly as he was able - which, fortunately, was true to some extent.

"I considered myself unlikely to be able to mingle without causing the natives fear or suspicion."

He seemed less happy about that admission.
