the veil is thin . . .

[ On the night of the 16th, the feeling of tension and horrid anticipation comes to a head. Everything stops when the sun goes down-- even the ever-present music in the hoppingest part of the city center. One by one, everyone turns their eyes to the skies. The young and old alike pour out of their houses, some in bare feet, and they point to the velvety blanket of stars.

It takes a second to find it, especially if one is unaccustomed to the starscape. But even a casual observer can see it.

A brightly-shining star, larger than the others, and growing larger.

An announcement cuts across all communication channels that encourages people to evacuate to the space station, but it’s clear that these are just people and they’ll need some help. Supplies, equipment, organization, there’s something for everyone to do.

Civilization is disrupted by a panicked stampede of people vying for limited seats aboard spacefaring craft. Within hours, there will be crushed glass, looting, and chaos.

The clock is ticking. Will you help? Or would you rather watch the dying gasps of a Singing Planet from a safe distance? ]

The tiny girl sniffles and thinks a moment before shyly replying:

"Red."

Which might explain why she was initially drawn to Maedhros. He is just fine being her favorite color.

She wiggles to stare at Maglor in wonder. The hint of a smile is touching her tear-stained face.

"Would you like to go with Kano? He will sing to you while you board." Maedhros murmurs, feeling a small thrill of pride when the little arms loosened their hold. He will find her mother. This family will not be torn apart.
