Chance replies, “Well where are you… still at the Institute? Are you in the city. I am not omnipotent, so perhaps if you need a lift or help I could put you in touch with Pantheon, Hidalgo should be nearby, his villa should have been outside the blast region.”


Cassie nods as she turns to look around And how would you know how to do that? you've only got my life experiences and a few days past it. She wonders if the aerodyne field is as bad off as the rest of town as she moves to a high point to check and to get her bearrings for reaching the villa. Where is it?

“I learned from looking in the dark places you fear to tread dear sister. Besides it was fairly easy to find an organization that wants to be found by people like us. Getting in was the easy part, I had no problem convincing a few lesser members that I was fit for service. Unfortunately some of them are no longer with us, but natural selection is a cruel mistress,” Chance replies.

“How do you plan to leave the city then?” Chance asks.

Legacy

The survivors are doing their best to comply and start gathering the seriously wounded folks for the emergency rescue personnel. Kensai nods, “I agree this could get terribly worse if a few elites lose control and run amok so to speak. Mark, Anika can your team handle getting these people to safety?”

Cassie

You know I'm not afraid to go there chance, I just didn't wish to instigate conflict. Now, I fear that the establishment has no desire to mediate and they have no clue how to handle cardinal we must consort with those who can deal with her. And yes, I am going to leave the city.
 


Finally, she's gotten control of herself. I was afraid I was going to have to take another page from Jun Min and try slapping her next.

"Can you at least sense their relative location...the ones who aren't getting helped by Legacy, that is? Wait, hold on, I know where we can get some road maps, at least." A car. And I know at least one car that survived this blast in relatively good shape. Ryan takes to the air, flying back to the garage where he first rescued Sariyah and retrieving a set of maps from one of the glove boxes. Leaving the garage, he glances backward.

Yeah, she killed them. But it wasn't her fault. And after this series of attacks, people will want blood. They won't be in a mood to forgive, especially a murderous mistake made by an Elite. Who could blame them?

Ryan fires an energy blast at one of the support pillars, hoping to collapse the underground structure, then restores the hole he first used to tunnel in to the structure. Flying back to Sariyah, he spreads the maps on the ground. "Find the survivors."

“This is war Gilden, that is all there is to it. Today everything changes and tomorrow is not a certainty anymore. But we can focus on is trying to save as many people as we can. We can’t try to understand her, or those that follow her. I don’t ever want to understand what could make someone a monster. Many innocent lives have been lost, and that is what matters most. Our legacy will be in how we respond to these actions,” Jun Min replies.

"I understand," he says with a small nod of his head, "but it is difficult, it is my nature to study things, understand how it works and why. She is an enigma in both action and thought, its hard to just let go of it."

Sariyah nods and starts pointing at different spots on the map, between bouts of concentrating; as time passes she becomes more and more adept at using this power to find power with increasing levels of competence.

This in turn allows Legacy to find more survivors then any other rescue team; all in all the team is able to save several thousand people over the course of the next fourteen hours or so. A long brutal day on top of an already brutal schedule. The fallout is as to be expected violent, world agencies have put Cardinal at the top of the list as a high profile target, even more so then before. Her manifesto sets off a fire storm of anti-elite violence across the world, although the UNJE and other Pro-elite groups do their best to mitigate the damage already done… it does not help that rumors have hit the web that the attacks may have increased the number of elites worldwide.

An amateur video of a so-called terrorist setting off a bomb takes the web by storm. Although connectivity is spotty in some places the communications networks are recovering from the massive attack on their infrastructure by what is believed to be Pantheon backed hackers. The video itself shows a normal person, or at least they look normal walking into a plaza square in Mudaba Adin. The male individual suddenly falls to his knees starts praying and then his body radiates a feint purple glow and then explodes in a burst of light. That is how the video ends. Where it came from is unknown, it was posted anonymously and as much as world governments have tried to contain it, the message is out there.

It is evening time and the students are in essentially an underground bunker, the bulk of the UNJE and local government agencies have taken over caring for the survivors allowing the students and Legacy members a chance to unwind and actually deal with everything that has happened.

They have been segregated from the baseline populace in case of reprisal… They are also sharing a joint facility with the Justice Elite and students from the school. Those that survived anyways… which was the vast majority.

Cassie is missing during much of the rescue efforts and definitely at the end of the day.

Shalimar, Clover is one of the surviving students. Legacy and the students are all sharing large open bay dorms with beds set up, but not much privacy at the moment. Very military like, and not very fancy. The boys have been separated from the girls for obvious reasons. There is a joint cafeteria and recreation room, the quarters are a little cramped, or maybe they are just used to having their own rooms.

Cassie

Obviously earlier in the day…

Chance replies, “If you want to meet then we may need to use unconventional means. We have an elite that is capable of maintaining a network of pathways… i.e. portals and the like. I would suggest you take it, or the UNJE will find you very quickly.”

If Cassie decides to not go, it is unlikely she will escape the city without being caught or easily tracked down by the UNJE, especially with Sariyah’s assistance.

Tell me where to go. I have misgivings, but I can see my words will fall on deaf ears here. Cardinal is crippling the efforts of all to coordinate for the upcoming battle. As much as I dislike admiting it, we will have to ally with others if she is to be stopped. Cassie replies as she mulls over her options and finds little that she can do here.

The UNJE and it's sponsors will crack down even harder on Elites. Ryan and the others will be forced to enforce those rules, the schism was going to widen between humans and elites. If something was to be done it would require her to approach things from another angle. Chance and her represented a potent amount of leverage. They had to learn what they were, and it was doubtful that the UNJE would trust either of them with the results of anything they found out.l She sighed, the city and institute might not be not be home anymore, but she'd miss it.

Give me a location. I'll send Anika a message when I leave, but other than that, there is no one here I want to talk to.

Chance gives her some directions and a time.
