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.

"Is it better to not know, or to know, and have it turn out that it's..." Ple Two isn't sure. Horrible. Deadly. Are they all gone?

"I would prefer to know, even though it be terrible." She shakes her head, old memories haunting her eyes.

"The waiting... the not knowing... you think to yourself that it is better. But ... the uncertainty... it eats at you."

She waited, with no news coming back across the Sea except through the list of the dead, issued in grim toll from the Halls of Mandos, until Earendil came. And now she waits again, not knowing if her sons will be released ... or in the case of Maglor, if he will ever return or fade to no more than a voice on the wind.
